[sand fiber]

why would it have one

[solid dome]

It has, leaked one, official - never will, not the way GSC does bbusiness

[fallen folio]

leaked? F that.

[solid dome]

Well you don't have any other one then

[fallen folio]

that's OK

[solid dome]

Morning to whoever woke up, night to whoevers about to go sleep

Seems like STOCtown has fallen asleep

About time for me to commit a crime of unseen scale

[keen rune]

Cause another emission

[solid dome]

I'll set a bug on the main server within GSC network

Be the first to know when Stalker 2 makes it out

Meantime, you shoould know a fact

STALKER 2 WILL BE ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS

STALKER
2
IS
CUMMING

[keen rune]

[solid dome]

STALKER 2 WILL FILL US WITH LIFE

STALKER 2 IS THE CHICK YOU SAW IN YOUR DREAMS WAY BACK IN YOUR CHILDHOOD

STALKER 2 WILL TAKE US HOME

[keen rune]

Ok now I want it to happen

[naive quest]

stalker 2 when guys fr ong i need it

[solid dome]

I have another one, last I swear

STALKER 2 WILL BE THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SPEECH OF MODERN DAY GAMING

[naive quest]

🗣️

[stiff oracle]

Any community managers online ?

[solid dome]

None

Its only our voice echoing across the fields

What is on your mind?

[stiff oracle]

I want to apply for a content creator thing so I can post my videos

[solid dome]

Man, you seem so desperate to do it

How many subscribers you have if you dont mind telling?

I have like 10 and I don't produce any content besides the occasional STALKER meme masterpieces

Of which I have uploaded only 1 so far

[stiff oracle]

I’m driven yes.
I’ve got 1.8k subs

[loud gate]

Hello, STOC

[finite dragon]

hi

my depression is seething my sanity out

and how are you?

[full plank]

Why depression in this beautiful earth?

[finite dragon]

idk I don't wanna get into it

[full plank]

🎭

[broken latch]

No space for a pc

[naive quest]

💀 is my laptop gonna blow up when i try to run stalker 2? I have a 3070 mobile which doesn't mean much, 32gbs of ram, 3 tbs of strorage (doubt that'll help), i7 11th gen. is that enough to run it around medium on 60 fps 1440p?

[half cedar]

I wouldn't trust a laptop to last

[broken latch]

It's all about maintenance and it's usage

[half cedar]

Idk what other maintenance you could do other than getting rid of dust within it's tiny fins, but I've had my own personal and many friend experiences that all end up on the same note - It won't last. You'll get about 2yrs of usage out of it before problems start and slowly kill the gaming part of it or any heavy work

Main issues are gonna be constant crashes, overheating, battery dying and maybe flimsy hinges on your display

Oh ye and when the kids say anything about overclocking a laptop... run

Anyways I hope you make a good purchase and it lasts, so my paranoid ramblings are void 😄

[finite dragon]

my prediction is this game is gonna release when i get a woman..........

[half cedar]

That means soon!

If you wanna speed up the process, get some sleeping pills and a drink, you'll get a woman in no time

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[ivory swallow]

wish you the same

[finite dragon]

hello. how are you?

[north herald]

Good morning guys, i had a dream that i playing Stalker 2. This need to be a good sign

[half cedar]

A visionary

[north herald]

Again the good dreams ending to quick

[half cedar]

The prophet will reveal to us that which we seek

Release date of S2

[dapper finch]

It ties it back in with Tarkovsky's Stalker. Doc's speech about the Noosphere is almost a quote of that film.

Voronin is in the CoP end credits.

[gaunt burrow]

Aware. He isn't in Clear Sky though

[dapper finch]

Oh :/

[hearty sierra]

No one knows at the time. You will probably see it when its released - but a laptop, even a gaming laptop is always gonna be like a vulcano on work. There is quite less space to let out the airheat.

[rotund spade]

day 2 w8ing for OXR16 unban

[hazy helm]

ok?

[rotund spade]

[hazy helm]

every single fork of OXR was DMCA'd along with OXR so its going to take longer than,a day
reverting a DMCA took longer than that already

[rotund spade]

no. forks was DMCA'd automatically because of original DMCA'd so you need to revert only one DMCA

[rotund spade]

yeap that's all only 1 DMCA claim, not 454 for each xD

[hazy helm]

reread that
"GitHub processed the takedown notice against the entire network of 454 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository."

"the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository"

[rotund spade]

now reread GitHub policy "if the reported network that contains the allegedly infringing content is larger than one hundred (100) repositories and thus would be difficult to review in its entirety, we may consider disabling the entire networ"

that was 1 DMCA claim for an entire network, not 454 for each individual fork

[hazy helm]

I stand corrected then
but all the same
processing DMCAs takes time as well as rectifying them
it wont be a near instant process

[rotund spade]

yeap... but I'll keep doing daily friendly reminder until then

[hazy helm]

we've had worse

[hazy helm]

dont forget a day then

saves me the trouble of checking the OXR page every day and night

[ancient sky]

ny1 here wanna play XRMPE Shadow of Coop me and my friend play it currently and a re looking for some more players

[granite coral]

Hey peeps

Stalker 2 is happening today

[silver pagoda]

YOU ASKED ME ABOUT STALKER 2 2023 CHRISTMAS TRAILER, REMEMBER?
ITS AN EMPTY HOPE
DECIDED TO NOT MAKE A NEW TRAILER AND PLAY PASSIVE? WITH ME?
MOL1T AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING THE LACK OF THIS END YEAR'S TRAILER
BUT WE CANT QUITE SEEM TO GET A CONCRETE REASON FOR IT
MAYBE YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT
IT REMINDED ME THAT WE USED TO GET NEW TRAILERS IN THE END OF DECEMBER
I TOOK JUST ONE AWKWARD HIT ON COPIUM AND MY WHOLE WORLD PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS
IM SORRY, MOL1T
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....
THAT WAS THE DAY STOCK STAYED UP UNTILL 10.00 PM FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT
SUDDENLY, THE VOICE OF HYPE WAS GONE!
I FELT AS IF I WAS AWAKENING FROM A YEARS-LONG COPIUM
AND THROUGH THE MONITOR, I SAW MOL1T POST JUST A SINGLE EMOJI FOR AN ANSWER
WE HAVE A SIMPLE CHOICE!
SIT BACK, AND JUST WAIT FOR ANOTHER SUPER DELAY
OR TAKE A CHANCE, AND GET GSC TO MAKE A NEW TRAILER
ONLY I DIDNT CHOOSE THAT DATE
UNLIKE YOU

[granite coral]

[glass thunder]

The first release date was set for April 28. The second date was December 8th. All these dates have one thing in common - it was Thursday... 02/15/24 is also Thursday

[celest heart]

[opaque parrot]

Too good to be true tho

I wonder wether we'll get an open demo anytime soon

[glass thunder]

GSC we need information

[granite coral]

GSC doesn't care

[bold sphinx]

GSC is doin a GSC

[bold sphinx]

We probably won’t

[half cedar]

GSC 4 life

Families unite, gang gang

[dapper finch]

Ceasing to exist and making everyone cry?

[bold sphinx]

Yes

[finite dragon]

Yooo Stalkers

[bold sphinx]

Yoo ilaman

[stone thicket]

Hype around S2 because of lack of information. Think about it

[bold sphinx]

Meh people are annoyed more so, so no

[pale pivot]

GSC = Generous Scheduling Consideration

[pale pivot]

There’d be more hype if there was a trailer tho

[bold sphinx]

GSC = You get no trailer

[pale pivot]

GSC = Game’s Surprise Concealment

[silver pagoda]

People aint annoyed, they are on hype train, elden ring was the same thing

silence for years, their reddit was a schizoplace

[worthy lagoon]

We are more schizo

[bold sphinx]

GSC = Get Some Copium

[stone thicket]

Why there's have to be trailer if people communicating and crying more than ever

[silver pagoda]

not even close, you havent seen their pre-footage shown reddit

[broken latch]

=

[pale pivot]

Lol I still hope there’ll be a kingdom come deliverance 2 one day

[finite dragon]

GSC = Get Some Cocaine

[broken latch]

Just play the first one

[pale pivot]

Complete radio silence about that game might not ever come out

[pale pivot]

I have lmao I think I have like 200+ hours on it

[silver pagoda]

game was decent, combat was horrible

[broken latch]

Play mordhau then

[pale pivot]

I learned the combat system pretty late from a friend and now it’s pretty good but yea I agree w u it is pretty Jank

[broken latch]

It was a cool take on combat non the less

[pale pivot]

I have but I was way too late to the scene and the skill gap was insane

Chivalry is easier to get into nowadays but mordhau combat is much more advanced

[silver pagoda]

id trade them all for a remake of mount and blade warband

[pale pivot]

I honestly like warband the way it is. Those dated graphics and silly voice lines are chefs kiss 💋

Warband > bannerlord

[silver pagoda]

warband is 10 times better combat than bannerdog i hate it

[pale pivot]

Very biased btw

[broken latch]

I got a friend who's a god at the game, he can teach you

Like really god

[stone thicket]

• HL3 one day colaboration

[honest bridge]

As a warband player I can confirm

[whole hull]

STALKER 2 IS GOD... AND YOU CANNOT KILL GOD... JUST LIKE, YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THE SKY ABOVE US

[granite coral]

I'm waiting for GSC's new game, Super Mario Bros 3!

Their next game will be Super Mario Kart!

[bold sphinx]

Well you can get rid of the sky you just need to get rid of the atmosphere by like glassing the world or something or stopping it’s rotation so the magnetic field dissipates so solar east’s can burn it away or smthn 🤓

[hearty sierra]

The 18th, which is when developers direct happen is also a thursday....hmm

[sour verge]

Im just gonna pray that my Xbox takes it without blowing up in my living room

[pale pivot]

💀

[finite dragon]

you can get more than 60fps by changing all the settings to the low and medium

[silver pagoda]

stalker 2 wont be in direct, dont sweat it

[granite mortar]

You can run it with no problem. But please, unless you want to use it as a radiator lower the details a bit

[stone thicket]

Hope dies last 🙏

[silver pagoda]

they have already said what games will be there lol

[north herald]

dont mean that there cant be a surprise lol

[silver pagoda]

its first party games... why would their surprise one be third party lol

[north herald]

lol

so not good sign i guess, and some days befor q1 ends GSC be like: "Hey guys...remebered that we wanted to release it? Guess what..." 😄

[silver pagoda]

more time more polish its all good

[loud gate]

We are ultra schizo mode, Kuro

[loud gate]

Cause it won't lol

[north herald]

well, tbh i think it dont work like that anymore, at least most games that did it like that were still shit when it came to performance and bugs

[torn solar]

can't click on pre-order.. wtf?

[silver pagoda]

yeah like cyberpunk 2077, that needed 1 more year in the oven

[north herald]

i mean from what ive heard now it is great?

[torn solar]

urg.. i don't think my gtx 1650 will run this game smoothly

[silver pagoda]

yeah after 2 years of updates, amazing game

[north herald]

dying light 2 was the same if i remember correctly

[silver pagoda]

yeah so let GSC cook

[torn solar]

gsc please cook optimisation

so i can play with my potato graphic card

[chilly edge]

Why I can't pre-order Stalker 2 on Xbox? Still saying "Not available separately"

[torn solar]

i can't even pre order on the site

[stone thicket]

GSC used to make surprises for community

[chilly edge]

On Steam you can pre-order, if you play on PC

[granite coral]

Let GSC cook some meatball

[gaunt burrow]

Hi guys

[granite coral]

Hi Matt

[silver pagoda]

aloha

[loud gate]

Website has been in updating as far as I am aware, wait for it.

[loud gate]

Hello

[loud gate]

Hello

[gaunt burrow]

Hey Mozi

[silver pagoda]

DID HE SUFFER?
Так
GOOD
HE WATCHED THE FULL LENGTH OF TGA
AND THE ANTICIPATION WAS WELL DESERVED?
ITS A SHAME YOU KEPT HIM WAITING
I KNOW
YOU DONT THINK I WASNT LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SEND GSC TO TGA 2023?
WE COULDN'T FINISH THE PATCH UNLESS MOL1T STAYED IN THE STUDIO
BUT NOW....
JUST LOOK AT THE PATCH
N Y E T, SKIF
I'M NOT SHOWING FOOTAGE TO ANYBODY
STALKER 2 LENT ME A LIFE
A NEW LIFE
THE ONE I AM PREPARED TO DEVELOP UNTIL 2045 IF I HAVE TO
I WILL PROTECT HER
ALWAYS

[granite coral]

Hey Moz @loud gate

[silver pagoda]

https://youtu.be/rfD943DN2nA @broken latch

[granite coral]

I will protect my butt ALWAYS

Until the release

[sour verge]

Should I let a bloodsucker eat my butt

[granite coral]

Not recommended

[glossy blade]

Interesting thought

[granite coral]

😃

[sour verge]

Imagine the tentacle wrapping around it

I’m sorry.

I hope there are radios on the pdas so we can listen to music while in shoot outs

[restive egret]

Pls

Pls

I need stalker 2

When

I'm dying for it like dying of thirst

And the preorder ultimate edition

I NEED it

I've been praying to the stalker devs every night

[chilly edge]

Well, me too, but in the Xbox still saying Not Available

[restive egret]

I swear to Christ we haven't heard anything yet so I swear to God if it gets delayed again

@chilly edge are any of the devs still in Ukraine?

[chilly edge]

No

[sour verge]

Ryan gosling in stalker 2 pls

Just like freeman

[restive egret]

So they can't use Ukraine as a reason for it not releasing anymore got it

[sour verge]

Make him a little Easter egg

[chilly edge]

I prefer John Cena in Stalker 2 lol

[sour verge]

I thought young men couldn’t leave Ukraine yet

[north herald]

Vin Diesel drives through the zone with his challanger xD

[granite coral]

Some of them still in Ukraine

[restive egret]

Which ones?

[granite coral]

Don't know

[restive egret]

....

Where did you get the source some of them are still there

[granite coral]

There was an article about it

[chilly edge]

Maybe the young one

[restive egret]

How far back?

A year?

2 years?

[chilly edge]

Yeah

[restive egret]

And can I see the article?

[granite coral]

Ask to Mol1t from PM

[restive egret]

@glossy blade yo do you have the article on if any stalker devs are still in Ukraine?

[restive egret]

Do you still have the article he shared with you?

[granite coral]

Do some research on Google

[chilly edge]

@restive egret Bro just be patient, Q1 is just here, so i guess this game won't be delayed anymore

[rocky shadow]

[restive egret]

So essentially you have nothing to back up your claim

"By May 2022, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's development resumed after the team had been relocated to Prague, allowing them to continue working safely. One former GSC Game World developer, Volodymyr Yezhov, was killed in action near Bakhmut in December 2022." -GSC Gameworld early 2023

[sour verge]

There are definitely still some devs in Ukraine

[restive egret]

Yezhov was a Chad o7

[rocky shadow]

Last article is from Jan 2023 about 130 devs remaining in Kyiv

[restive egret]

Damn

Well a year later are they still there? I hope not

[granite coral]

Yes it was a bit old but there are still some devs in Ukraine

[rocky shadow]

https://www.wired.com/story/ukraine-stalker-2-gsc-game-world-development-war/

its this one

[sour verge]

Ukraine's martial law forbids most men between 18 and 60 from leaving

[restive egret]

Ukraine needs them so understandable

[sour verge]

Yeah so there are devs still in Ukraine

[nimble cipher]

themadman13 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[somber comet]

Join dooty
(and get done sideways by blind dogs)

[glossy blade]

Yeah, we still have Kyiv office

[restive egret]

Ah

[granite coral]

At least they are safe in Kyiv right now

👍

[rocky shadow]

not entirely

[granite coral]

But mostly

[sour verge]

Remember when the Russians shot missiles at the reactor

[normal bobcat]

I finally beat SoC

[gaunt burrow]

nice. which ending you got?

[normal bobcat]

True ending

[gaunt burrow]

[amber zealot]

Hope the people down there stay safe

[gaunt burrow]

Aye

[broken latch]

Which one

[normal bobcat]

The one where ||Strelok magdumps the c-con||

[broken latch]

The fun true ending

[gaunt burrow]

The canon ending

[keen rune]

Ain't the C-Con containers shown in Stalker 2 trailer?

[gaunt burrow]

They are

[keen rune]

I sense a "memory lane" esque

[zealous steppe]

so its Q1 where is the release date

[finite dragon]

34 days left

[sly viper]

we need a master stalker to reach the wish granter and ask him to make the marketing team to ping us again

[sweet belfry]

yeah

[keen rune]

Instead of that, the wish granter will troll you with delaying stalker 2 again

[sly viper]

so be it...such is the life in the zone

[sweet belfry]

has anyone from GSC talked about release date

[north herald]

Not yet, we all only know that the last thing weve got to hear was q1

[sweet belfry]

I pre ordered awhile ago cannot wait ❤️

I remember when it was supposed to be April 28th my birthday before everything happened

but the more years that go on the more we are unsure if we reach our birthday. I am so excited this will the game of the year for me even if other people have their reservations

[finite dragon]

i pre orderd on 24/Sep/2022

[sweet belfry]

lol thats rough

[finite dragon]

it is

[north herald]

august here

[sweet belfry]

Thankfully my country is safe and not at war. I pray for Ukraine and the world that we can all find safety and peace

[north herald]

Amen to that

[keen rune]

Here in the U.S. but here they don't have the "preorder", just the form

But I "reserved" mine, hopefully it comes soon

[pulsar lagoon]

https://amzn.eu/d/8EwUmrM can order ultimate edition on Amazon from koch distribution this legit? I'm in the uk

[keen rune]

are euros equivalent to usd?

[fickle ingot]

also amazon says its gonna come out march 31, is it true?

[finite dragon]

That's when Fortnite season ends

lol imagine stalker in Fortnite

[chilly edge]

1 euro is like 1.09 dollar

[broken notch]

Release this game pfff

[north herald]

yes its legit, Koch Media is a austrian publisher

[keen rune]

I wouldn't reccomend then

Because that's 300 bucks for digital only

[north herald]

"Box Contains"

Contents:

• Ultimate Content + Pre-Order Bonus
• Steelbook
• Letter from Developers
• Souvenir Zone Permit
• Sticker Pack
• Zone Map
• Poster
• Faction Patches
• Military Token
• Keychain (multi-tool with fire starter)
• Artbook
• Stalker Figurine
• Artifact Container Lamp
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Backpack

the digital ultimate costs around 109 euro

[pulsar lagoon]

probably a placeholder date. That's just end of Q1 I think

[dark sedge]

cant wait for s2

[chilly edge]

109 euro is too much where i live lol

[north herald]

yes thats a big price for sure.

Where do you live if i may ask?

[chilly edge]

Brazil

[north herald]

so that would be 584,49 for you if google is right 😮

[chilly edge]

Yeah

[icy prism]

I need new STALKER 2 Trailer, pls

[chilly edge]

But the problem is the salary, the minimum wage in Brazil is R$1412,00 per month

[north herald]

I guess you would be happy to just get the standard edition right? 😄

[chilly edge]

Lol man i work and my wife too
our salary is like 700 dollars in total

[north herald]

Absolutely unfair for the work you do, dear god

[chilly edge]

i want to buy the ultimate edition, but in xbox still unavailable, and that's sad 😦

[chilly edge]

Sure, but i can't do nothing now, maybe later 2024 or 2025

but this is the reality of the most latin stalkers lol
i'm lucky to be able buy whatever i want, but that's because i worked hard and never gave up

[north herald]

Keep up the great work dude 👍

[rotund spade]

@hazy helm done

[hazy helm]

honestly thought more time would be required

[waxen gate]

hello

[granite coral]

Bored 😒

[broken notch]

Indeed

[keen rune]

I predict Stalker 2 will be the Stalker of all time

[gaunt burrow]

Truly one of the Stalker games of all time

[keen rune]

We got Stalker 2 leaks before Stalker 2 😭

[bold sphinx]

No SoC will always be the most stalker stalker

[gaunt burrow]

To be honest GSC and leaks have a wide history

[keen rune]

Atmosphere yes, best gameplay is CoP

[gaunt burrow]

Oh hi bro @bold sphinx

[bold sphinx]

Nuh uh

[gaunt burrow]

What's up?

[keen rune]

GSC gotta leak more because we haven't even gotten an official gameplay trailer...except the last one but that one was running on the most horrible frames

[bold sphinx]

Not much I just went out with this girl iv know for awhile but haven’t seen in forever honestly we rly have a lot of common and I want to ask her out but I’m going back to Australia soon which sucks (she would definitely say yes that ik)

[gaunt burrow]

[keen rune]

Just ask her out at this point

[bold sphinx]

I don’t want to have a long distance relationship

I come here once a year it wouldn’t work even with the chemistry we have

[keen rune]

I don't know anything about relationship advice since I've never spoke to a woman (thought i like this one gal), just talk to her everyday when you're over there at australia

[gaunt burrow]

Understandable

[bold sphinx]

Yeah that i will there is also another girl I got good chemistry with back in Australia which I plan to ask out when I get back

[gaunt burrow]

I don't think long distance relationships would work in the first place

[bold sphinx]

Yeah

I didn’t see my last girlfriend I had for a bit cuz she went on vacation with her sister to see their parents and it was hard so it won’t work or for me

[finite dragon]

zone always accepts lonely men out there so if u failed you can always come here

[keen rune]

That might be your best bet, I wouldn't know about advices but I usually give them to my mates when they need it

Physical or Digital?

[bold sphinx]

I’ve had previous relationships I should be okay

[keen rune]

I just realized that there isn't a single woman in the Zone

Digital is good too, you get the future dlc's for free, and cool stuff

[gleaming salmon]

Any ideas about release date?

[gaunt burrow]

Real

[gaunt burrow]

Q1 of this year

[gleaming salmon]

Q1 2024 is quite a large range of dates

[gaunt burrow]

My bet is on February

[gaunt burrow]

Definition of "Teachers don't play"

[finite dragon]

someone told me they throw cinder blocks at duty members irl

[gleaming salmon]

It's also strange that they haven't released a date
There haven't been any games released like that to my knowledge

[ashen isle]

Any news about the Physical Edtion Pre-Order?

[keen rune]

More like: Coaches don't play

[keen rune]

No mentions yet other than filling out a form

[ashen isle]

I've seen that the pre order is available on Amazon for the Collector's Editon.

[latent flame]

Well, a lawless land full of unhinged men doesnt seem one of the places that a woman wants to be in.

[keen rune]

Think about the artifacts! Those would cost a fortune! You could get a wedding ring for the price the anomalies would sell

[latent flame]

That could be possible for some desperate enough.

Most common sightings would be in Ecologists.

Tho female Ecologists would have it harder bc then again, Bandits and Renegades.

[latent flame]

I agree too, artifsctd are a great commodity, thats why im in clear sky. I prefer the zone contained, not destroyed or be used as a public playground for Freedom or anyone wanting to go in

[gaunt burrow]

They're mentioned in Vanilla games tho

1 in Shadow of Chernobyl's PDA section of Local Folklore called "On Loneliness" and another girl called Leska was mentioned by Orest

Leska got apprehended by border troops though

[latent flame]

I think she wouldve met a worse fate if she made it tho ngl.

[gaunt burrow]

I think the same

Leska got lucky that she got apprehended by troops with a pretty boy

[latent flame]

Man made abominations who can melt your brain/shred you to bits/ flatten you, Bandits who will not only rob you, but use you for personal use, Anomalies who will literally turn you into a pile of meat and bones in seconds, and if you somehow made it nesr the brain scorcher, have your brain melted and be a zombie.

Best fate for her if she actually made it is be a medic for some faction like Duty or freedom, or stay at Rookie village.

[gaunt burrow]

Being a medic does sound like a good idea

I'd imagine that cooks, medics and other people with such skills would be valued a lot in the Zone

1 problem with staying in Rookie Village forever though: money

You can be assured that Sid won't give things for free to anyone

[latent flame]

Mmm, good fates for Leska.

[latent flame]

Being constantly protected inside a base, everyone doesnt want to kill you bc you keep them alive, Money.

For female mercs, theyre toast, for femsle ecologists, theyre on a rope over hell

[flint moth]

we got our first dedicated stalker vtuber before stalker 2.
the video game industry has fallen, billions must die

[latent flame]

So real.

[finite dragon]

I hav returned

[flint moth]

you have forsaken the forsakened

[finite dragon]

From my laziness

[latent flame]

I got artifact that teleports you to the enemy that you killed which is like, absoltutely impractical, how much rubles?

[flint moth]

also give yourself bobbas, because we are so tired of bloodsuckers as corn material.

[finite dragon]

30k

[latent flame]

YEEEEEAAHHHHHHH

[finite dragon]

Equipment is easier to wear with a flat chest. It also helps with mobility of the arms

[latent flame]

And 20 Snork feet, someone wants them.

[flint moth]

GIVE, BOBBA TO YOUR VTUBER MODEL

[finite dragon]

102 roubles each

[latent flame]

Goddn

[finite dragon]

I WILL NOT MAKE MY MODEL SUPERIOR TO MYSELF

[flint moth]

bruh ur either a woman with H cup tiddies or a femboy, pick.

[finite dragon]

I guess I just dont exist

[gaunt burrow]

Fun fact: Freedomers boning bloodsuckers is just a misconception. Dialogue about mutants who sometimes seem hot are meant for bandits

[flint moth]

Bloodsuckers are like they/them phussy

[latent flame]

Dude nooo 😭😭

[gaunt burrow]

[flint moth]

Bahhhh Phussy is phussy sounds of eldricth horror well gahdamn....

[latent flame]

Go find Tremor instead, i know what he is.

wtf

[flint moth]

Kira you have 2 options, Big Mommy H Cup Model or Femboy.

[hazy helm]

getchyo horny ass off

[latent flame]

My bad

[gaunt burrow]

Face of GSC developers who dedicated their time and energy to factions creation when factions in Stalker are getting meme'd to death:

[finite dragon]

You have 2 options.
Showers or grass

[flint moth]

Showers, i have jewish ancestry

[finite dragon]

What does that habe to do with anything LMAO

[flint moth]

[latent flame]

Cmon man, you'd prob die of radiation soon

[hazy helm]

calm yo asses

[finite dragon]

Aight :3

[flint moth]

Not yet, i need to wait for my number to be called 💀 (ok last joke)

[hazy helm]

nobody cared until kira put on the Vtuber skin

society

[latent flame]

Man i dont even want it anymore, i just wanna be happy

[finite dragon]

Ah yes, the zone society

[flint moth]

Phuck a million fleshes...nobody bats an eye... BUT ONE ECOLOGIST VTUBER SHOWS UP.... and SHOSHIETY-

[latent flame]

Not everything is the same after my Lada exploded

[finite dragon]

I used to be a stalker memer, then I took a ban to the knee

[gaunt burrow]

Society moment

[latent flame]

Dude theyre mutated pigs naw 💀

[flint moth]

Game is game.

[finite dragon]

That's like saying EFP is the same as SoC

[flint moth]

I mean they mutated, so is their phussy, y'know what that means?

[latent flame]

I have so much things to worry about in the zone instead of crying about a female scientist

[gaunt burrow]

I think this guy needs a 🚿

[finite dragon]

Lets shower him

In boolets

[hazy helm]

I mean...

EFP is a CoC fork

Anomaly itself is a CoC fork

[latent flame]

Oh my god bro, you dont need to be put in the Mental ward, you deserve solitary confinememt from the atrocity that you bring

[hazy helm]

GAMMA is just a CoC Fork

[flint moth]

hiisssss NO! I must keep my body irradiated by the artifact called "Non-Binary"!

[finite dragon]

I mean... thats true but
Yknow what I meant!

[honest bridge]

Boulets

[finite dragon]

Pootis

[latent flame]

Plus, money is money

[flint moth]

bro actually imagine that, a rookie goes to sidrovitch and says they're non binary
"THe phuck is that, an artifact?"
100% gonna be the reaction. Like, half the woke stuff from 2023-2024 to stalkers is gonna sound like another C-Consciousness istg.

[gaunt burrow]

lmfao

that would be the last thing I would worry about if I was in the Zone ngl

[flint moth]

stalkers gonna think LGBTQIA stands for a new stalker faction 💀

[latent flame]

General voronin would prob be shocked if he sees the internet today

Hell maybe everyone in the Zone

[finite dragon]

Except for gay people. Take a look at greek warriors, and then at the duty ranks... and no way theyre all straight

[gaunt burrow]

My honest reaction:

[flint moth]

Honestly. Freedomers would probably shriek in horror if they saw today's down baddies.

[latent flame]

Im kinda more worried on trying not to go insane in the zone than worrying about a woman

[gaunt burrow]

Fr

[fiery berry]

I’m guessing still no news on release date?

[old jungle]

Q1 2024

[finite dragon]

No news :<

Atleast no new news*

[latent flame]

My character has went through like 4 different traumas in his playthrough at gamma now

[gaunt burrow]

[finite dragon]

My Bandit character ate a slug shell and yelled at duty soldiers

Anomaly Old World addon's artefacts are pretty damm strong lmao

[latent flame]

1. Horrors beyond comprehension
   2.gore (flesh in a vortex anomaly)
   3.warfare (Barrier meatgrinder)
   4.Psychological (first encounter with a controller)

[finite dragon]

I melee'd a pseudogiant to death in a video

[marsh dome]

still no news

[gaunt burrow]

Pseudogiants aren't as durable in SoC as they are in other parts tbh

[latent flame]

I melee'd a monolithian in an exoskeleton bc i ran out of ammo 😄

[finite dragon]

Tru, but it was in Anomaly old world

[gaunt burrow]

ah

[finite dragon]

Damm

[latent flame]

There is absolutely NO way this guy is fine without having like, a mental breakdown

[gaunt burrow]

True

I feel like many people in the Zone would have PTSD

[sour verge]

Such is life in the zone

[latent flame]

Bro is even laughing or giggling like a child when he gets a new weapon

[finite dragon]

Nobody who voluntarily goes in the Zone is mentally ok

[gaunt burrow]

Desperation is one hell of a motivator

[latent flame]

His mental strength is superhuman at this point

[honest bridge]

Every stalkers in stalker are gays

[old jungle]

There won't be this week

[honest bridge]

Because there are no women

[latent flame]

Thats why there are no women in stalker, only buff men.

[honest bridge]

[digital pecan]

now my brain is like "i wonder what is the top 10 stalkers with the worst PTSD"

[sour verge]

Only buff sweaty hairy men

[finite dragon]

Stalker MGE is the best thing I have laid eyes upon

[gaunt burrow]

Strelok definitely gotta be in this top

[latent flame]

Prob the one in the number 1 ranking

[sour verge]

Idk if they would all be ripped half of them are constantly starving

[gaunt burrow]

Artifacts = a lot of money

[digital pecan]

of course, Scar might be too with the 2 emissions and the renegades base + Limansk

[gaunt burrow]

A lot of money = a lot of food. it's not that complicated c'mon

[finite dragon]

If they can afford an exoskeleton...

[latent flame]

Major degtayrev is a different type

[sour verge]

No fat=no gains

That’s why people do bulks

[digital pecan]

Im pretty sure his mission was the only military's mission that was actually succesful

[latent flame]

He is literally unfazed at what the źone throws at him

[hazy helm]

fighting those who cannot be named with a 50 cal skating in teleports

it makes me sad I cant post NA7 shenanigans

bc it contains,those who cannot be named

[digital pecan]

dam

[gaunt burrow]

He was already a Major of USS and experienced stalker before CoP began

He's just built different fr fr

[latent flame]

Oh, makes sense.

Can drink gallons of vodka without dying of liver failure yet will die to a tushkano poking his leg

[gaunt burrow]

ALSO, you can see in Clear Sky that loners at neutral base cook Flesh mutant @sour verge

so that's also the option

[rocky shadow]

[latent flame]

They only gotta worry about diseases and radiation tho

"Oh look my toe rotted off from eating undercooked flesh, not again!"

[digital pecan]

"not again"

damn

[marsh dome]

Yes, but I'm intrigued by the upcoming xbox show.

[latent flame]

Some stalkers go through so much stuff that they feel number to most things, like being unsuprised

[old jungle]

Gotta wait a bit longer, don't worry we'll be fine

[rocky shadow]

I know im in peace with waiting

[old jungle]

how are you doing besides that?

[rocky shadow]

Im good. Now im drinking tea, watching videos and eating chips

[old jungle]

nice, enjoy

[silver pagoda]

he lying czech ppl dont drink tea

[rocky shadow]

all around just killing time for something. Dont have mood for games

[rocky shadow]

[glass thunder]

Another day without a trailer and release date...

[rocky shadow]

We do. Often with rum

[silver pagoda]

just tell truth that u drink beer and stop lying

[gaunt burrow]

[rocky shadow]

Not now

i dont have any home

[silver pagoda]

stop lying u are czech man

[silk sparrow]

ur home is a zone

stalker

[rocky shadow]

[balmy hound]

It could be planned for Xbox developper direct on jan. 18th

[old jungle]

Perhaps. I would not bet on it though.

[broken latch]

But you're not pirates

[glass thunder]

The game was not shown last time

[balmy hound]

On the games awards you mean ? There already was a story trailer a few days before, i don't fully understand the surprise of people waiting for something on TGA.

[keen rune]

At this point the final trailer has to be released, it should be done

[rocky shadow]

but we are only nation in world, that has no loses in naval battles, only wins

[balmy hound]

In arts, rules are made to be broken

[glass thunder]

No, last year there was the same event from xbox, we also expected to see a stalker... as a result, there is zero information

[balmy hound]

Oh ok. Well, wait and see...

[keen rune]

Only info we know of stalker is q1 2024, at this point we're nearing the release date

and i'm worried because they haven't shown a final trailer as to what it'll look like

[silk sparrow]

i think im gonna do alchomarathon. i will consume spirit every day till s2 come out

[torn solar]

i hope graphic look like shit, so i can run it

[keen rune]

whats your gpu like?

[torn solar]

gtx 1650

[torn solar]

and the config on the site, seems doubtful

[glass thunder]

We are waiting! I hope that the date will not be postponed.

[sour verge]

Try not to become alcoholic challenge (impossible)

[keen rune]

yeah you'll def be able to run it on medium settings, i don't know about 60 fps though

[torn solar]

60 fps on low?

[silk sparrow]

hahahaha stalker. im already alcoholic

[keen rune]

minimum is gtx 1060 so you can def run it more than low settings

[balmy hound]

They are keeping their best cards for the end, if we ever gonna see a lengthy gameplay trailer at all. From a hype perspective, it's understandable.

[north herald]

last time they mentioned it will be playable with an 1060. I mean the Series s needs to run it.

[torn solar]

i mean i want to run it with smooth gameplay

maybe that why they downgraded the game

[keen rune]

If yours is a 1650, it would run on medium settings on 60 fps, not on 4k though

[torn solar]

i'm using 1080p no problem

[north herald]

would not be the first time because of consoles lol

[keen rune]

doubtful, it'll still have ray tracing because the recomm is an rtx 2070 super 8gb, which is hefty

[sour verge]

Maybe it wasn’t a downgrade

[keen rune]

I would agree, they could keep it as the last showcase, but the trailer better be huge and going all in on the trailer, because it'll serve as the final trailer for the game, going all in

[sour verge]

Maybe it was pc then another trailer using console

[north herald]

If i see a "Release trailer" i will be crying i tell ya.

[keen rune]

Unless they were using the minimum specs to run that game, would make sense as to why it looked bad

[silk sparrow]

i think all spec requirements are outdated

also gpu very depends on ur resolution

if u will run 1080p on low it should be fine

[silver pagoda]

I WAS ATTACKED WHILE IN A JOB 🔪
I'VE GOT HIT IN THE HEAD
AND WHEN I WOKE UP
I WAS IN ALMOST NOTHING BUT MY BIRTHDAY SUIT
"HERE'S YOUR BOLT!"
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I NEED A BOLT? ⁉️
"TAKE A LOOK AROUND"
O P E N T H E D O O R
I'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GET BACK TO, HERMAN
OVER AND OUT

[sour verge]

I still haven’t decided if I’m going to ignore story and just explore

[torn solar]

no medium ? well

[keen rune]

Don'nt forget CPU still has a say in it too.

[silk sparrow]

cpu very important at 1080p

[keen rune]

I guess if you try to run 4K on medium settings, you could get 60 fps depending on the gpu and cpu that you have

[silk sparrow]

cpu less important at 1440p and cpu ignored at 4k

[keen rune]

And that's excluding ray tracing, because ray tracing will dip your fps severely

[solid dome]

And I thought I was overly negative

[balmy hound]

I wouldn't be worried about "downgrade" : the game has to fit an Xbox, and at the same time mods will keep over time the graphics at the highest level possible, if not handled officially.

[silk sparrow]

also isnt 3-series kinda cheap now?

[north herald]

Im so happy that im still playing with 1080p. So no need to make big upgrades

[silk sparrow]

like 3060 3070? or amd cards

[keen rune]

You'd be surprised at the power the 3060 TI still has, it'll def run on 4K at med settings without ray trace

[torn solar]

you need the right cpu for this

[balmy hound]

High five bro, same here

[torn solar]

you can't make a upgrade without upgrading the rest

[balmy hound]

Less but better

[keen rune]

To be honest, 1080p is doable with the right gpu, so long as you don't burn your gpu

[silk sparrow]

i mean 9xxx intel should do the thing

[sour verge]

I hope Sid isn’t dead

When I see him I’m gonna give him a big wet kiss on his balding head

[gaunt burrow]

Sid getting killed by grenade explosion is canon. No one can tell me otherwise

[north herald]

🤝 i only play 4k on the tv with console but for pc i can live with 1080p. Have an Rtx3060 and locked it on 60 fps. I never have any problems

[sour verge]

Marked one what the hell!!!

[silk sparrow]

i preped myself at 2023

[keen rune]

Have you tried 1440? Most games run well on 1440p 60 fps

[gaunt burrow]

Marked One?! What the hell??? Proceeds to explode

[torn solar]

well, so sad that my gpu is so outdated lol

[keen rune]

You'll still be able to run it, just don't put the ray tracing, you'll make yourself a homemade c4 if you try to run stalker on your gpu with ray tracing

[keen rune]

Proceeds to lose his gray hairs prior to CS

[silk sparrow]

slideshow

[north herald]

Oh i need to try it out!

[silk sparrow]

it really depends how optimized game will be

[keen rune]

cough cough some games in 2023 cough

But I hope Stalker 2 is well optimized, and friendly to most gpu's

[balmy hound]

No need if you just have a 1080p screen, and i'm afraid of upgrading the screen because my eyes are not asking for more.

[silk sparrow]

yea, most say 4090 is overkill. not really with games in 2023

[north herald]

yes thats also a thing for me, i dont a need to have more than 1080p

[keen rune]

I wouldn't reccomend 4090, it literally is the same as a 3060ti (based on what I've heard), i only would reccomend the 5 series gpu's when it comes out if it's any good

[silk sparrow]

how can you recommend 5 series if we dont know anything about it?

[keen rune]

Because of it's leaked specs, and that's IF it's any better than 4 series

[silk sparrow]

idk. im really happy with my 4090

[sour verge]

Why the hell are there more scientists than bandits??

[thorny barn]

oi

[keen rune]

Then you'll have no trouble running stalker 2 on max settings, depending on resolution, and/or if you using v-sync

[silk sparrow]

i only had fps problems on 1 game

but everyone have fps problems on that game

[digital pecan]

because they know how to talk peacefully instead of shouting at the person while pointing a gun at him

[north herald]

Cyberpunk?

[silk sparrow]

nah, cyberpunk silky smooth

[sour verge]

Clear fart

[silk sparrow]

other game. extract shooter

[gaunt burrow]

Besides ecologists don't starve. Unlike bandits

[north herald]

Tarkov

[silk sparrow]

yea, game is incredible unoptimized

[sour verge]

Nah it’s just cutting

All bandits are super buff

[north herald]

"The day before"

[silk sparrow]

😄

[sour verge]

The shotguns are just to look cool

[gaunt burrow]

[digital pecan]

atleast ecos are trustful

[keen rune]

game didn't even last a day

[north herald]

haha yeah

[sour verge]

Nah they’ll send you to your death for “research”

[gaunt burrow]

I mean it's not like stalkers who work for ecologists don't know the consequences

[silk sparrow]

TDB was something special

[gaunt burrow]

it's the Zone afterall

[digital pecan]

and bandits will send you to your death because you didnt gave him 2 tourists delights and a energy drink

[sour verge]

They are not cut out for the zone that’s why they need protection by mercs and soldiers

[gaunt burrow]

dying is very common in that place

[digital pecan]

we dont talk about military, they supposed to protect ecos but cant even do that

[gaunt burrow]

ALSO, bandits in Clear Sky literally had a concentration camp

c'mon, bandit can't talk about morality lol

[sour verge]

True..

But at least we can all agree renegays are cringe

[digital pecan]

yes.

[gaunt burrow]

On that I agree

[keen rune]

To be honest the bandits in CS are a bunch of morons, they robbed me of 0 cash and let me walk, must be Scar's charming looks

[sour verge]

They tried to copy our drip

[gaunt burrow]

You can avoid getting robbed by bandits. Just run as soon as you enter the Garbage

[digital pecan]

every renegade has the same jacket + almsot broken db shotgun

[sour verge]

I wonder what they did to him while he was unconscious

His charming looks didn’t help him very much

[gaunt burrow]

Only the bandits that tried to rob you will become hostile, but not the whole faction. Other bandits will still be neutral

[north herald]

war crimes

[keen rune]

Well yes they did rob him, and Scar proceded to kill the bandits, their only choice of weaponry is dismal compared to Scar's charming looks, and the power to survive 2 emmisions and not 3

[silk sparrow]

i just want to explore zone at night in UE5.2 engine with max settings and amazing stalker ambient sounds with some infected boars running in distance while full moon in the sky. do i ask too much or something??

[sour verge]

Yes

[gaunt burrow]

18+

[rocky shadow]

not true, depends on game. On higher res its more GPU botlenkecked, but without good CPU, FPS will be low

[digital pecan]

and i want to finally play anomaly on more than 15 FPS (i have on the lowest graphic settings)

[keen rune]

I just hope your PC doesn't turn to a toaster, I wanna see the CNPP in full glor with ray tracing

[sour verge]

I hope an anomaly tears you apart infront of your friends

[keen rune]

More like 18+ plus a bit of robbing, that's what we call here "Capitalism"

[gaunt burrow]

Real

[silk sparrow]

i agree. its situational, but in general use. the bigger resolution the more gpu u need and cpu goes behind it.

[rocky shadow]

[digital pecan]

btw, is there any way to avoid PC freezing while playing lost alpha? Or I just need to restart my PC every 15 minutes?

[rocky shadow]

sure. definitely

[keen rune]

I wonder if the average American would ever visit the Zone and be a permanent Stalker

[bold sphinx]

No

No Americans in the zone there isn’t a macas there

[sour verge]

There are a lot of people here that hate the government

I’m sure there would be some

[silk sparrow]

average american would visit fast food chain and be a permament customer

[sour verge]

But they would die pretty fast

[silk sparrow]

[gaunt burrow]

LOL

[keen rune]

The only reason I can see the average american is if they go to the Zone to tax the artifacts, or do some black market activity and reclaim the Zone as american territory

[rocky shadow]

They would visit Zone if there would be school to shoot out

[bold sphinx]

Sidrovich wouldn’t approve of the taxes

[gaunt burrow]

I'm lol-ing so hard rn not gonna lie

[digital pecan]

They would visit Zone if the guns would be cheaper

[silk sparrow]

Free ammo KKONA

[bold sphinx]

They the ones bringin in the guns

[keen rune]

I highly doubt that, the Zone doesn't taxes or the capitalism that the Zone would offer

[sour verge]

Tax the burers

[digital pecan]

But Sidorovich will never let that happen

[keen rune]

Taxes in the Zone is basically saying "give me your genitalia or i'll blow your head off"

[bold sphinx]

Americans wouldn’t go into zone cuz there are Russians and Americans and Russians don’t mix

[sour verge]

Blow what head 😳

[digital pecan]

The most peaceful bandit in the zone

[gaunt burrow]

Real

[keen rune]

The average buisnessman in America would try to find a way to make the burner artifacts a DLC for sunscreen

[bold sphinx]

That’s basically taxes irl

[gaunt burrow]

Ngl most of the people who legit want to go to Zone would most likely be the first ones to get captured by bandits

[digital pecan]

you're paying to exist on the earth + half of the life wasted on working and studying

[bold sphinx]

I’m off to go sleep good night everyone and remember it’s only illegal to comit tax evasion if your caught

[gaunt burrow]

Gn bro

[keen rune]

As an American, I can confirm, most of our lives is working and paying taxes and 0 free time, all while the Stalkers don't pay taxes, don't work. Hell I'd rather go to the zone and not pay any tax and live my life in a wasteland with ionizing radiation

[rocky shadow]

[digital pecan]

good night

[digital pecan]

same bro

just escape this sad reality

[sour verge]

If the zone was real I’d probably go to escape taxes and die after a day

[keen rune]

I wonder after 10 years, the Zone has wifi

[gaunt burrow]

you're romanticizing it way too much

in that place you always have high chances of dying

do you want to always fear for your live or live in your warm home? have access to internet and other things?

choice is obvious I think

[sour verge]

The deadly anomalies anarchist and bandits would probably not let that happen

[digital pecan]

zone

[sour verge]

For Wi-Fi you need towers

[gaunt burrow]

Dies by blind dogs in first few hours

[keen rune]

When you put it that way, I'll agree with you on that

[sour verge]

At least I will die free!

[digital pecan]

EXACTLY

[keen rune]

I don't think the bandits have the manpower to prevent Wifi in the zone

[gaunt burrow]

Radiation, mutants and anomalies say hi

[sour verge]

[gaunt burrow]

many people in the Zone aren't exactly better

[sour verge]

Other factions would

Like duty would probably be opposed

[digital pecan]

monolith prob use brain scorcher to secretly have access to wifi

[sour verge]

Because it would open up the zone more

[keen rune]

It's 64km cubed, by the time WIFI is in the Zone, I think the first thing Stalkers would do is use a VPN to hide their tracks from the Ukrainian government

[gaunt burrow]

Makes sense tbh

I mean if you're in the Zone without governments permission then you're basically a criminal according to law

[digital pecan]

literally every stalker in the zone

[gaunt burrow]

Aye

[amber zealot]

A VPN isnt the end all be all

[keen rune]

The Major is the exception, he's the USS permanent Observer

[gaunt burrow]

Even Dutyers who act like Zones Police are technically criminals

[sour verge]

Weren’t there gonna be legal stalkers in stalker 2?

[gaunt burrow]

because they're also in the Zone without governments permissions (although all Duty leaders and some higher ups were ex Military)

[keen rune]

I don't think the government would be keen to accept that in the second stalker

All stalkers are illegal in the Zone

[sour verge]

I hope they cut that idea because that would make the zone boring

[gaunt burrow]

How so?

[keen rune]

I wonder if reproduction is viable in the Zone...

Probably not because of radiation and lack of resources to keep the newborn fed and healthy

[sour verge]

They can get rpgs into the zone I’m sure baby formula isn’t that much of a stretch

Maybe in the outskirts then probably

[gaunt burrow]

Reproducing in the Zone is absolutely horrible idea

[keen rune]

I don't think the hospitals have the equipment would bring the baby to a healthy state

[gaunt burrow]

Just why?

[keen rune]

That's why there's no women in the Zone, GSC didn't want the population to exceed that of China's population

[north herald]

im really excited how they handled the zoneborders. The first trilogy made it very simple without much details behind the wire because of the time back then i guess.

[sour verge]

Imagine the world having little 3 legged stalker babies running around

[keen rune]

Stalkers who are lonely and in need of some time together

[keen rune]

That's basically Chimera's

[rocky shadow]

[digital pecan]

how we managed to change subject from argument how bandits are bad to reproduction in the zone?

[gaunt burrow]

welcome to #💬┃en_offtop

[digital pecan]

ah yes

[gaunt burrow]

3 words: radiation side affect

[sour verge]

I’m cordon maybe the kid can live

Just don’t let the little shit get taken by a blind dog and you should be fine

[keen rune]

Why spend your artifact's money on a newborn when you can get more vodka to cure that radiation poisoning?

[silk sparrow]

Vodka is good

[digital pecan]

but for the love of god dont let the kid grow in rostok, this kid will have trauma from even a conversation with random dutyer

[gaunt burrow]

Also, i think it's safe to assume that there's no basic hygiene in the Zone

[sour verge]

I’m Rostok the kid will definitely be mauled by a pseudo dog named cup cake

[gaunt burrow]

Although that's debatable

[sour verge]

Maybe bases might have showers or something

[digital pecan]

we're just making a tier list where the kids will have the best conditions to grow

[gaunt burrow]

Maybe

[digital pecan]

i mean in what places in the zone, i forget to add it

[sour verge]

But bandits/free stalkers definitely stink

[gaunt burrow]

That's a question for them

[finite dragon]

i feel like clear sky base in swamps

[gaunt burrow]

I still think that ecologists are cleanest people

[sour verge]

Mercs MIGHT stink bc we don’t know if they have a base

[digital pecan]

same, literally no enemies and small amount of mutants only radiation would be a problem

[sour verge]

Monolith soldiers must stink alot if they aren’t programmed to clean themselves

[digital pecan]

mercs supposed to have base in dead city from what i know

[finite dragon]

is skif a member of military?

[sour verge]

I hope not I want to be a bandit

I’m sure they’ll give you free will to join factions

[finite dragon]

i choose being a merc

[gaunt burrow]

SoC's PDA entry says "the location of their base remains a secret, suggesting that it is deep inside the Zone"

[finite dragon]

i dont think so cuz skif comes from outside from an organazation i guess

[digital pecan]

but the plans were base would be in dead city, im pretty sure

[finite dragon]

but they may add the friendship and enemy graph like clear sky

[sour verge]

Ngl I want the faction warfare from cs

[digital pecan]

faction wars was the best thing in cs, the second best thing were the technicians for me

[sour verge]

One day the bandits will conquers the entire zone!!

[finite dragon]

why bandits bruv they eat dog shit to survive

[gaunt burrow]

>

[digital pecan]

with what?

[sour verge]

Uhhh my uhh um my uh makarov

[finite dragon]

average bandit dream

[digital pecan]

literally soc knife would be better

[gaunt burrow]

Bandits conquering the whole Zone with Sawed Offs and Makarovs

[digital pecan]

i would pay to see them failing

[sour verge]

Do you think a lot of stalker die bc of tetanus?

There must be a lot of rusty iron in the zone

[north herald]

one of many things i guess

[sour verge]

Plus constantly getting cut/shot means that there would always be an open cut on you

Tetanus shot in stalker 2 confirmed???

[north herald]

It depends on how long ago you were vaccinated, if so. In Germany, for example, vaccinations are boostered every 10 years

[gaunt burrow]

Hmm. Never really thought about that 1 honestly

[north herald]

for tetanus

[sour verge]

I can’t remember the last time I got a tetanus shot

[finite dragon]

bandit stands for Bunch of average nolife dorks in toilet

[gaunt burrow]

Renegades is only faction that is worse than Bandit faction

[finite dragon]

i hope they buff them in stalker 2

[sour verge]

I can’t think of anything for mercs 😭

Yeah if they are robbing so much some of them must have good loot

[digital pecan]

renegades in my opinion were made as a combat tutorial in cs

[sour verge]

The only guys that have successfully robbed good armor are the bandits with brown merc suits

[finite dragon]

masculine erotic racist cooping for s*x

[gaunt burrow]

You aren't wrong I think. They're basically tutorial bandits

[sour verge]

The higher ranking bandits in stalker 2 should have stuff like seva suits and captured duty/freedom suits

[north herald]

tutorial bandits haha thats an great insult

[sour verge]

It would only make sense

[digital pecan]

literally a leader of bandit faction has a coat, deagle and AKM

[sour verge]

They are bandits after all if a rookie bandit finds a good piece of armor he would probably throw away his (drippy) leather jacket and sweatpants

[gaunt burrow]

I think Renegades faction would be extinct long before S2

[sour verge]

Body armor isn’t even THAT expensive

[digital pecan]

i wonder in what timeline stalker 2 is gonna happen, literally cop showed us slow the end of the zone and the monolith faction

[sour verge]

An artifact could easily pay for that

I want different bandit gangs led by different leaders

[finite dragon]

i believe couple years later after CoP

[sour verge]

Kinda like the kans and fiends in new Vegas

[digital pecan]

but how? Cop showed us the end of the zone

i mean the start of the end

[north herald]

would make sense

[digital pecan]

isnt mercs and renegades enough?

[sour verge]

No

[boreal oracle]

Yes

[sour verge]

I want more!!!

[north herald]

i think bandits are only friends in theire own group, they would rob eachother too i guess

[sour verge]

Aren’t loners just a bit less morally grey bandits?

[finite dragon]

Loners just doing their thing

There's no cohesive ethos

[north herald]

like the one dude in call of pripyat.

[pale pivot]

Stalker 2 gonna come out when I pass 3 dimensional kinematics (it’s never coming out)

[finite dragon]

Bandits are kind of loose network of people motivated by the same thing and work together

[gaunt burrow]

Don't forget that bandits act (or should act) according to "Thieve's Law" that has unwriten rules and norms of behaviours of in the thieves community. Thieves law has several basic and subsequent provisios that are mandatory for the "right" people who are part of the community. This includes paying tribute to the thieves common fund (Обшак) so even if bandits earned a lot of money then portion of that money goes to that fund @sour verge

[finite dragon]

did not know that, is that canon

[full plank]

One of the trailers is about people waking up from Monolith control. I don't think CoP was about the zone ending, just changing again to be something different. Psychic influences may be less a part of the story now

[finite dragon]

im waiting more than 2 years bruv

I never really was too interested in reading about the bandits

[sour verge]

It might just be a organized crime basic rules thing

[solid dome]

I WAS ATTACKED WHILE IN STOC
I'VE GOT HIT WITH A SOLID ROCK
AND WHEN I WOKE UP
I SAW MOLIT STANDING BESIDE ME
"HERE, TAKE THIS CHILL PILL!" 💊
WHY IN THE HELL I WOULD NEED CHILL PILL?
"TAKE A LOOK AROUND, YOU MUST THINK STRAIGHT"
O P E N T H E D O O R !
I'M LOSING IT, MOLIT
OVER AND OUT

[gaunt burrow]

I mean bandits are stereotypical eastern europe criminals which were mostly based off smuggling and running protection rackets,along with corruption

Usual post soviet gangster stereotype

[sour verge]

Stalker 2 yakuza smuggled katanas when

[digital lynx]

Here we go I've done it

I preordered the ultimate edition, can't wait

[finite dragon]

Used to see some bulgarian mob around where I used to live

[solid dome]

Congrats on committing a sin

[sour verge]

I can finally at least see stalker 2 in the Xbox store

The trailer looked even better than when I saw it on my phone

[digital lynx]

Mercs never commit sins

[sour verge]

False..

[solid dome]

@digital lynx Keep laughing. You'll have a straight face soon.

[hard thistle]

Will they show Stalker 2 footage at Xbox Developer direct on January 18th?

[north herald]

mostly not

[chilly edge]

No

[solid dome]

No

[gaunt burrow]

They also talk in slang. Words like "Фраер" means person who doesn't belong in the Criminal World

[digital lynx]

[gaunt burrow]

Press X to doubt moment

[digital lynx]

Why though ?

[solid dome]

You'll see

[sour verge]

We need true.. and false.. emotes in this server

[solid dome]

[digital lynx]

[chilly edge]

[digital lynx]

I've put high hopes on this game

[digital lynx]

I just can't think of it being bad

[sour verge]

I WANT TO BE A BANDIT SO BAD

At least a very mean loner

[digital lynx]

Preorders are great when it comes to STALKER 2

I hope it will be AAA

[finite dragon]

[digital lynx]

[finite dragon]

[digital lynx]

[finite dragon]

[gaunt burrow]

[sour verge]

Mercs are NOT based!! 😭

[half cedar]

Feb. 2 at 15:00 GMT+1 there will be misinformation

[solid dome]

Preorders are great with the proper marketing, you don't have such in the current situation so preorders are nowhere near great

[finite dragon]

average bandit activities

[solid dome]

Simple logic

[digital pecan]

[sour verge]

Was it revealed to u in a vision?

[finite dragon]

[half cedar]

You will see

[sour verge]

I think I’m the only bandit defender on this server

[digital lynx]

I've put my trust in devs, hoping they won't disappoint me

[digital pecan]

ngl it scared me 😭

[sour verge]

I should be the bandit leader instead of borov

[finite dragon]

yea cuz other are getting killed by mercs

[sour verge]

False..

[digital lynx]

And I didn't even pay 100euros

[solid dome]

Hope dosn't work like it used to do 15 years ago

[glass thunder]

BIG VIDEO COMING

[gaunt burrow]

I wonder how can you defend people who literally had a concentration camp back in Clear Sky

[digital lynx]

I paid 62euros for the preorder ultimate edition

[sour verge]

We are making a lot of rubles using our fun summer camp for rookie stalkers

[sour verge]

Summer camp*

[silk sparrow]

for me ultimate 110 eu

[chilly edge]

where?

[rocky shadow]

Krezzin just hates preorders

[solid dome]

0 for me, lul

[silk sparrow]

how u get 100 eu ultimate?

[finite dragon]

i rather eat dog shit than joining bandit

[north herald]

shots fired

[digital lynx]

On a website called CDKeys Sales

[silk sparrow]

yeaaa

[rocky shadow]

Prices are based on country. Poorer country have smaller cost

[digital lynx]

Basically they sell cd keys much much cheaper

[finite dragon]

new trailer better be longer than 5min

[gaunt burrow]

Stalkers out there risking their OWN lives to get and sell artifacts while Bandits do jacksh*t and just rob poor loners who risked their lives

[north herald]

4:59 min

[silk sparrow]

how can they sell much cheaper if GSC sells for 110?:D

[sour verge]

I better not catch you anywhere near dark valley

[rocky shadow]

Yeah. Those sites sell stolen keys...

[solid dome]

You basically gave GSC none of your money. L.m.f.a.o.

[digital pecan]

your "fun summer camp" is just a parking with anomalies that can be very easily raided to rescue stalkers

[half cedar]

I like how there was this one bandit I accidentally rolled up on wondering why his name was Sultan and not Vasya Sunshine. Dude fired first, whan can I say

[digital lynx]

Really?

[gaunt burrow]

[digital lynx]

Is that how it works ?

[finite dragon]

i can capture ur whole base in 10 min with a pistol

[sour verge]

Nuh uh

[solid dome]

Its how those websites operate

[digital lynx]

Holy shit f*ck

[chilly edge]

Only for PC...

[rocky shadow]

I would rather buy iz directly from GSC with bigger cost to help them, than cheaper from suspicious sites

[north herald]

I mean its not even released and you get it that much cheap bro... i mean common

[digital pecan]

im always capturing bandit base to get SEVA suit from loners and a deagle from dead bandit leader

[digital lynx]

I got scammed?

[silk sparrow]

i woudnt be surprised if they lock these stolen keys

[digital lynx]

I don't know

[gaunt burrow]

You can keep neutrality with bandits and purchase SEVA from bandit trader Tooth

[sour verge]

Why do bandits have a seva suit but none of them wear it

[digital pecan]

i prefer literally wiping out from existing bandits than giving them money

[solid dome]

Why not buy it directly from the official website?

[gaunt burrow]

Also only Limpid (bandit technicial) can fully upgrade SEVA if you give him all 3 flash drives

[sour verge]

I better see bandit seva and wind of freedom suits in stalker 2

[solid dome]

You scammed yourself, not the other way around

[gaunt burrow]

Use their services and THEN kill them

[torn solar]

Bandit getting player juicy armor

[digital pecan]

but i want SEVA for free ;(

[chilly edge]

Yeah, but i'm sad bcs the xbox version still unavailable, and i want to pre-order asap

[gaunt burrow]

I usually killed bandits after my Vintar and SEVA was fully upgraded by Limpid

[solid dome]

I meant Baby Yoda

[finite dragon]

the only free thing in zone is death

[solid dome]

Xbox can suck my STICK

[digital pecan]

or a broken gun from a dead body

[chilly edge]

i know lol

[torn solar]

Or a bandit with a shotgun waiting for some legs to shoot at

[digital pecan]

so yea, i still dont see a reason to join bandits

[chilly edge]

@digital lynx you received a key or not? and you can ask for a refund?

[sour verge]

Drip+free cookies

[gaunt burrow]

Bandits robbing loners and taking their loot is equivalent of someone taking credit for your work ngl

[finite dragon]

i hope they add more optiong for chosing dialouges esp swear words , im just gonna choose f**k u for all of it ngl

[digital pecan]

clear sky have drip with actual armor + silence in the swamps

[gaunt burrow]

Aye. Clear Sky does have a good sense of fashion

Their armor looks majestic imo

[sour verge]

Fart sky are not drippy

[digital pecan]

my personal favourite is CS-2 body armor

[torn solar]

I mean, there is no mercy in the zone, even among stalker

[gaunt burrow]

Mine is CS-1

[digital pecan]

you think a normal loner jacket painted black has more drip than a normal loner jacket?

[finite dragon]

can they add being naked ?

[gaunt burrow]

True

18+

[sour verge]

They have gold chains!!?

[torn solar]

Can’t wait to see players naked running with a AKS lol

[finite dragon]

imagine u enter the freedom base naked , they gonna scared of u

[sour verge]

If you look hard enough rookie bandits have gold chains and a gold ring

[digital pecan]

prob no more because of how bandits are so thirsty on money

[torn solar]

You load your mags stocking magazine up your ass

[finite dragon]

they are fake

[gaunt burrow]

Everyone is bullying bandits, kek

[sour verge]

Gold chain from temu

[finite dragon]

🧢

[torn solar]

That why I will choose this faction, free loot ngl

[digital pecan]

does it have armor?

[sour verge]

If it shine the right way it might blind you for a couple seconds

[digital pecan]

no.

[sour verge]

No point in armor if the enemy can’t see you

[digital pecan]

shine with what? the emission that is about to hit?

[finite dragon]

average bandit trying to flex fake stuff

[sour verge]

Nuh uh

[finite dragon]

im sure ur pistols are plastic
