[thick lichen]

some models offer up to like 512 GB or something like that

[edgy narwhal]

Well i have gaming laptop but i wanna have console so you guys recommend Xbox

[solid dome]

@worn oar Fresh from the oven, a copypasta pie

[hidden stratus]

1tb shouldnt be standard anymore in 2024. These 'triple a' games take so much space'

[edgy narwhal]

Stalker 2 will cost 150GB

[thick lichen]

1TB is actually quite a lot, i had like 512 GB on my One S, paired with a 4TB external

[pearl olive]

@edgy narwhal it depends on what games you prefer.. lot of people prefer one or the other for that reason

[hidden stratus]

I know, im already picking out what im going to have to delete.

[thick lichen]

ive played MW2019 and MW2022 since practically release and whatnot (except for MW2022)

[ornate rampart]

never had a console and now that they are already PCs, albeit you can't customize them, I don't see why can't you just build your own pc instead

[hidden stratus]

the joys of hardrives. Could of used one back in the ps3 days

[thick lichen]

• you can also find rather large external harddrives for mildly cheap at your local wlamart

i bought a 2TB external for my PC for like 50-60 bucks

[hidden stratus]

What store

[edgy narwhal]

Will be multiplayer on Xbox too for Stalker 2?

[thick lichen]

i just said, walmart

but if you dont have a walmart in your country or state or county etc etc you could always buy off of amazon or something similar

[fast stratus]

Can I run stalker 2 on windows 7

[prisma goblet]

I think so but to play online with xbox you need a subscription

[thick lichen]

very unlikely.

[prisma goblet]

And who cares about multiplayer

[edgy narwhal]

Its hard bcs Stalker 2 is only on Xbox, but God of war is only on PS5

[ornate rampart]

doubt so

[edgy narwhal]

No you need 10 or 11

[thick lichen]

there is something called exclusive titles

but whatever you want to play is entirely up to you

[fast stratus]

Oh nooo

[thick lichen]

ur pc is cooked

[hidden stratus]

Timed exclusive

[fast stratus]

What?

[edgy narwhal]

Than i guess i will stick to my gaming laptop for now

[fast stratus]

Why

[thick lichen]

take the ace combat franchise for example. it was purely a playstation exclusive

[ornate rampart]

you can grab a win 10 pretty cheap and even go for the LTSC one

[thick lichen]

trying to run any modern game with windows 7

[hidden stratus]

Why are you playing with something under windows 10

[thick lichen]

literally cooked 😭

[ornate rampart]

you need to debloat it though
And btw, just avoid win 11

[hidden stratus]

11 not that bad

[thick lichen]

fun fact, gamers actually prefer win11 compared to win10

[hidden stratus]

Smooth. Only costed me 20 avg fps across games

[prisma goblet]

I need stzlker2 now please help me lord

[ornate rampart]

with the latest news about microsoft putting in even more spyware? nah, I'm fine

[thick lichen]

yk that win10 will practically cease to exist by like next year or something

[hidden stratus]

What are you talking about?

[versed crypt]

Sounds like a hot take if I've ever heard one

[ornate rampart]

fun fact, win 10 is far better for "old" games compability

[broken latch]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-cat-cute-kitty-sleepy-kitten-sleepy-kitty-sleepytime-gif-15922126068799997734

[thick lichen]

i saw on a microsoft statistic or smth

people were commonly returning back to win10 except for gamers, who prefered it over win10

give or take everybody is diff, some gamers prefer win11, others prefer win10

[ornate rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtvRsQvkkrY

[thick lichen]

but a decent portion of win11 users are gamers

[broken latch]

Was there literally a pie chart with like "gamers - 40%"

[thick lichen]

not a pie chart

[versed crypt]

My statistics say: nah...(I shalln't elaborate)

[broken latch]

Uhuh and how do they decide who's a "gamer"

[thick lichen]

up to microsoft or wtvr iunno, but issa statistic

[versed crypt]

As long as it says it in a statistic, it's the word of the land? Damn...

[broken latch]

The stats sound made up

[thick lichen]

🤷

me personally i prefer win11

[broken latch]

Win11 is just a UI change imo

And hides some features to make it more clean

[prisma goblet]

Win11 looks good therefore I like it 🥸

[thick lichen]

understandable, but lowkey it seems better in some aspects of performance to me atleast

[hidden stratus]

He clealy states that this will be a paid feature on an ai tool

And its for mircrosoft 365 so unless you got school or work you wont be using microsoft 365

[thick lichen]

microsoft 365 sucks 🐟

except for school use it kinda comes in clutch

[hidden stratus]

Wated 8 minutes of my life for that

[versed crypt]

I have no opinion on this operating systemstuff. All I use is a typewriter wired to a projector powered by a Turing machine on solar power

[thick lichen]

hes on that alan turing grindset

[versed crypt]

Yeh

[hidden stratus]

Furthermore it has an insane spec requirement so the avg person wont be able to use it if they wanted to

[versed crypt]

That's how I roll

[hard ember]

computers are about productivity, but too easy to distract oneself when perma-fused to the internet

[thick orbit]

ungabunga, we're yet another month closer to release and still no news on the Physical Collectors Editions front... do they even exist? Is the CE an anomaly?

[hard ember]

so @versed crypt has the right idea--typewriter that's off line

[versed crypt]

Anyway bye STOCgang

[hard ember]

see you, stay safe

[finite dragon]

Are headaches just psy attacks?

[hard ember]

i noticed that i am most productive when there is interruption to internet, like when i am changing internet provider, and the provider botch the job and i am left without internet for weeks

[ornate rampart]

for now, nothing prevents them to default it to normal user in the foreseeable future, especially since "Approximately 58.55% of the company's stock is owned by Institutional Investors" and as you know shareholders will make turn anything upside down if it means profit, especially good games

[thick orbit]

The physical ultimate CE on Amazon has dropped in price to £266.66... Interesting.

[ornate rampart]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[hard ember]

i guess i could artificially recreate that state, like one chromebook that's connected to internet, and then sneaker-net transfer files i need from the net (flash drive) and the work machines would be permanently be off-line

[ornate rampart]

hopefully soon

[thick orbit]

Good spot, ty. Actually helpful.

[hidden stratus]

That's obviously not going to happen. And if it somehow did not only will the avg person need to upgrade their specs to 16g ram, atleast 250g of storage. And if they do then they will most likely need to activate the tool themselves to start recording or else they will constantly have no storage in their computer for anything else. Becuase it is clearly illegal to force this onto someones pc.

[elder laurel]

Well honestly for people living in poverty a Decent PC is going to save so much money more than the current gen consoles

The current gen consoles will become obsolete one way or the other

The Pc will not

[hazy helm]

if youre that worried about cash
maybe dont buy one and focus on your other probelms

[elder laurel]

Well a PC can help for alotta jobs lmfao

[hazy helm]

if your job requires a PC more oft than not they will supply you one

[elder laurel]

Well how generous of a company to give you a pc oy vey

[ornate rampart]

Let's hope so. I'm thankful to be in EU where's the GPDR, but I dread seeing what they might do elsewhere.

[elder laurel]

More likely than not they will just make you use a PC in the office

Companies are never that generous to begin with

[nimble cipher]

macharian has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hidden stratus]

I can tell you right now that this will not happen. Atleast in your lifetime.

[elder laurel]

Whatever good things that might happen in any third world countries it's prob going to be decades away from ever happening

[ornate rampart]

and the money you save on the pass to play online on console, will allow you to get better parts for your pc, because multiplayer on pc is free

[elder laurel]

Well yar yar go on the seven seas on PC if you know what i mean

💀

[hard ember]

console is lovely if you live in sizable cities, you can visit mom-n-pop game trading shops and pick up games for a song

[prisma goblet]

Welcome to the AnomAlOus dugout 😎🔥

[hard ember]

if you don't need multi-player e-sports nor game modding, don't force a PC upon yourself, so much configuration and fiddly it's not fun

[sand fiber]

eh, consoles lack a lot of games, mods, and, as was said here before, it's all much cheaper on PC

[hard ember]

shrug i guess we all have diff life experiences

[hazy helm]

so much fidling is cumbersome
literally streamlined to be like a drag and drop or a single install, backwards compability with 90s games
I mean...

ppl overstate the complexity of a PC

[sand fiber]

sometimes computers are troubleshooting nightmares but you don't actually have to learn much and it's worth the effort

[hazy helm]

especially bc Consoles are just PCs and your Xbox can be used like one thru the dev mode

[prisma goblet]

I had both consoles and computers in my life. If you are a heavy gamer go for pc, if you are only interested in some games go for console 🤷

[hard ember]

well there's a happy in-between, a dedicated gaming pc, squeaky clean windows install, only for games, that's what i do, i back up the disk image with GNU clonezilla, can't be happier

there's only so many way a stock pristine purpose-focused windows pc can screw you over

that's as close as i could get to a console, with pc parts

[hazy helm]

over the years PCs have been baby proofed to the point you need to be actively putting yourself in danger from stupidity to fuck smth up

[granite mortar]

OMG
Look at this cat 🥺

[sand fiber]

kibty!

Im actually sad

[drowsy schooner]

Wait why is there a "Nimble" in CS? Is it the same one as in SoC?

[old jungle]

yes

[deft stirrup]

wrong guy

[prisma goblet]

Did nimble work for the group ?

[deft stirrup]

not really

he is the only proof of a clear sky survivor

[prisma goblet]

In my headcanon nimble is the responsible for the first emission

[deft stirrup]

nimble never went near the CNPP in the first place

[prisma goblet]

He may also be responsible for the Chernobyl disaster

[deft stirrup]

||he appears in all games||

[wild wharf]

Nimble, hey man what are you doing with Reactor 4?!

[deft stirrup]

he is the one who is sitting on the chair resting near lebedev's room

[prisma goblet]

Hey guys what will happen if I touch this big red button? 🤓

[finite dragon]

Nimble where did you put the big red button???

[wild wharf]

Nimble don't do it, DONT DO I- (Immediately reactor 4 has a meltdown)

[finite dragon]

Dude I wonder where Nimble hid the flash drive in SoC

[deft stirrup]

his pocket?

[finite dragon]

Oh because the bandits wouldn't have checked his pockets when they searched him

[wild wharf]

Most likely gave it to the Cartel, or to some local Gopnik

[deft stirrup]

its not that they wont search him its that he is held hostage for a reason i forgot

[finite dragon]

No no I'm talking about the first mission, he gives it to you when you rescue him

[wild wharf]

Oh, ok my bad, in that case check the wiki, I forgot about that to be frank

[deft stirrup]

bandits arent the smartest people

[finite dragon]

No the bandits DID search him for the drive but Nimble said that they don't know how to properly search him

He also said that he didn't put it in "there"

[wild wharf]

I mean, I do see some bandits throw themselves into campfires, so yeah

[finite dragon]

Okay but you're doing a search on somebody fora flash drive and you don't even bother checking his pockets?

[prisma goblet]

You know where it was hidden

[finite dragon]

No I don't

[prisma goblet]

We all know, even if we pretend we don't

[deft stirrup]

i found info

[finite dragon]

The space between his socks and shoes?

[tiny olive]

Nimble is very nimble, that's why

[deft stirrup]

they held him hostage because he knew a stash with artefacts

[finite dragon]

He did NOT put it in the place where the sun don't shine

[deft stirrup]

and they left Tolik to die

[finite dragon]

He said it himself

[deft stirrup]

flash drive really doesnt play a major role in why the bandits took him

[prisma goblet]

Lets say he has a secret portable stash

[deft stirrup]

nvm he did

[tiny olive]

Only Sid wants it

[finite dragon]

But they still did a search didn't they?

I assume since it wasn't their priority they only checked his pockets

And didn't bother checking his shoes

[deft stirrup]

"those morons couldnt do a proper search"

[finite dragon]

Right so they only checked his pockets

[deft stirrup]

right

[finite dragon]

He put it in the shoe

I have my answer now

Nimble's a mastermind

[deft stirrup]

nimble is quite nimble

[wild wharf]

That's explains how nimble is nimble, he's very nimble!

[deft stirrup]

truly

[granite mortar]

If I was a bandit then Nimbles feet would be the first thing Id want to see

[wild wharf]

... please tell me it's for searching interrogation purposes right?

[granite mortar]

Of course

[granite mortar]

I need professional help

my mod folder is almost 400GB now

[red spruce]

Im convinced all the Chimeras in CoP spawn in the Red forest and just powerwalk over to their official spawnpoints

[granite mortar]

Red Forest...
In CoP?

[red spruce]

I know it isnt accesible, but thats where they come from

Hear me out

[granite mortar]

They come from Iron Forest

[red spruce]

The devs did not let us into the Red forest in CoP because they wanted to hide the truth about the Chimera spawnpoints

[granite mortar]

They didnt let us because the map isnt present in the files

[red spruce]

Just let me meme :<

[granite mortar]

I mean, I would if you said something sillier

Like that Sid spawns in Red Forest and that theres underground colony of quadrupedal Sidoroviches

[red spruce]

Nah, we all know Sidorovich surpasses time and space

[granite mortar]

He is time

[red spruce]

I dont remember if it was in CS or SoC, but I once used silly console commands to get into Sid's little room and he was still making eye contact by turning his head 180°

[granite mortar]

And Barkeep is space

[granite mortar]

Sid is Owl from Skadovsk

[granite mortar]

i5 650?

[wild wharf]

I don't recall any women in the zone, there's only men!

[broken latch]

I3, i5, i7 same shi. What matters mostly is the generation

[red spruce]

Oh, you mean THAT low end...

[drowsy schooner]

Is it better now?

[red spruce]

Oh
I got something with like 5550-something behind its name idk

[wild wharf]

Yes, perfection my fellow stalker

[broken latch]

@finite dragon How much Vram, ram do you have and what's Ur GPU and cpu

[red spruce]

Ok your best bet would be praying to All gods you can find because the chances of running it properly are low

[granite mortar]

I mean, i3s tend to be i7s with deactivated cores but generation usually doesnt matter more than class

[wild wharf]

You guys, are lucky, I'm running a potato PC. (It's an actual potato PC that sidrovich gave me)

[broken latch]

I'll always take a i3 11gen over i5 5th gen

[granite mortar]

yeah but thats 6 gen difference, you put it like if 3rd gen i3 was better than 2nd gen i5

@finite dragon

[red spruce]

I got mine off of a dead bandit by the machine yard

[wild wharf]

[pulsar sluice]

I killed some rogue mercs for Dushman, they were going against their contract. They had a laptop, It's onea' those work-brands, a Lenovo, recognize it?

I know I'm supposed to be the egghead here, but what the hell is a Lenovo?

[pulsar sluice]

Get me some stoneblood artefacts and I'll see if I can't put in an order to get you your own, not sure why the government can't get their own scientist corps actual computing hardware.

[red spruce]

A brand that makes Laptops and stuff

[broken latch]

How much FPS do you average in CoP

[wild wharf]

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying

[pulsar sluice]

..... I dare you to go rogue.

[red spruce]

Youre cooked

[wild wharf]

The government blown all the money on the military. The only money we get is our daily rations. AKA Vodka

[red spruce]

I dare you to open 2 chrome tabs at once with your Setup

[pulsar sluice]

Yes, You. Breakage of contract means you can be bounty-killed.

Mess with a fellow Merc's contract, and nobody's savin' ya.

[wild wharf]

But wouldn't that be a death sentence for that poor PC?!

What PC brand is it, I must get it

[red spruce]

2GB OF RAM BRO

[broken latch]

Yeah you can run the game, but looking at electric anomalies discharging will give you big FPS drops, I also don't recommend that you host the server since hosting servers eats up CPU memory which gives you less FPS ingame. And a important thing is to not use grenades and explosiveems, they will most likely crash your game or the server. RPGs in yantar gave me a blue screen

[wild wharf]

No no, the reason why it's working is that bro somehow attached artifacts to his PC. The pc now got better endurance

[broken latch]

(he has 20gb of ram)

[red spruce]

(Oh, I misread it then)

[broken latch]

Funny thing is that it's not the textures, it's the engine

If you have a separate pc or laptop, you can use it to host the server, or your friend can host it

No like, engine is more advanced and just has bigger requirements in comparison with triology x-ray engines

[pulsar sluice]

I forget what artefact it is that increases Electrical dischage resistance when worn on a belt...

Is that the one you're talking about?

[wild wharf]

I think it's Battery's, I forgot

[broken latch]

Server hosting pcs are always low end because they dont need strong specs, but low end can't host and play well at the same time

Server hosting laptops and pcs are like super duper low end

Like microwaves type of low end

[pulsar sluice]

Pretty sure battery does, yeah. It's a voltage store, also- we've got a contract out to get one to make Gauss Batteries out of, we reverse engineered some of those- thanks to Sahkarov.

[wild wharf]

I know a dude who knows a dude, who knows a dude that sells Gauss Rifles for like 800 rubles, try talking to him.

[pulsar sluice]

Elaborate.

[wild wharf]

Ok, so I was fooling around in the dark valley. Then I saw some loner who was Injured by the local wildlife AKA bloodsucker. Healed him, then told me about an opportunity to get a Gauss rifle for like 800 rubles, so there you go. He told me to go south, and that's all the directions he told me.

[pulsar sluice]

Guy's a scammer. One of our guys is a kind of.... Financial Liason with a very closed group, he can get some rare gear that only the damned fanatics would be able to get with ease. A Gauss'd cost you 200 thousand rubles, but it'd be fresh, and batteries would be provided.

[wild wharf]

200,000 RUBLES?!. The entire ecologist group in yantar only got 3000 Rubles Combined! Well.. time to go and steal one from some of the local rock worshippers.

[pulsar sluice]

@wild wharf Hey, do what the army does- and sell off extra supplies. Army does grenades- you do Med-kits.

[wild wharf]

I'd rather trust Freedom rather then the bandits that are gopniks, no way they will be able to do it against the funny rock worshippers

[pulsar sluice]

If Bandits screw you over, It's a helluva lot easier to take them out for it- than freedomers. I'll talk to the bandits if I need to, they'll just shoot you on sight.

[wild wharf]

I mean, we've actually started a sort of side buisness. Sakharov got the idea, something about starting a drug cartel about Vodka in the zone, I forgot the exact details.

Cheeki Breeki, that's it. I tried Google translate before, and that's what I got

[pulsar sluice]

@finite dragon Here's a rough translation, a friend of mine- Olga, she said it's a bit of 'fake' russian, but it goes along the lines of "One, Two- You're on top!"

Cheeki Breeki Iv Damnke.... That's the pronounciation around here.

@finite dragon Olga's a Merc, and that was the literal rough translation she provided me. And by the way- ain't you supposed to know all this? I'm the foreigner here!

S*it.... never thought about it like that.

[wild wharf]

So guys hear me out. The zone is not the worst place to live, it's instead unironically either Canada or California

Okay, well... Anomalous put out a video covering the ARG that happened some years ago now. It's good! I would recommend it if you are not familiar with the story from it.

[pulsar sluice]

Bit sinful?

Snorks were once soldiers, REMEMBER THAT!

[keen rune]

One is a dog, one is an experiment, there is a HUGE difference

[pulsar sluice]

wait a minute... I KNOCKED THIS GUY OUT ALREAD- WHY IS HE UP?!

[wild wharf]

Look, with the bloodsuckers, they were female! But the snorks

[keen rune]

THATS NO EXCUSE!!!! That's like saying I'm going to have action with a bloodsucker because my wife was mutiliated by a bunch of monolith soldiers, I still WOULD NOT go down

[wild wharf]

How's that going to work out for you!

[keen rune]

The bloosuckers was farfetched but ok, the snorks....yeah he's gonna go to Zone banishment

[pulsar sluice]

@wild wharf Professor... Get me either a couple of Bean-bags for the KS-23 I've got in my storage, or a big stone, preferably just big enough to stuff in the guy's mouth and gag him with.

[keen rune]

Even the Zone would banish you

[prisma goblet]

What will happen if you try to breed a controller and a burer?

[pulsar sluice]

dude you're about to get reported for harrassment, STOP

[wild wharf]

Yeah, why do you think I gave it a spin with the bloodsuckers

[keen rune]

So you're saying you would also bang a mouse as well?

[prisma goblet]

Ok sorry 😔

[wild wharf]

Everyone is getting so down bad at this point, did everyone smoke weed??

[keen rune]

I get there's no women in the Zone but there's better things to do in the Zone than wanking your johnson to SNORKS!!!!!!!!!!

[keen rune]

I don't smoke pot or drink, glad my partner told me to take a break from yalls brainrot

[wild wharf]

Touche, but still

[keen rune]

THEY'RE DEAD! And how would you even bang a snork to begin with?? or is the snork banging you????

[prisma goblet]

Oh that's true. Guys, what are your theories about the absence of women in' the games?

[wild wharf]

Wait since the snorks are dead... wouldn't it be considered necrophilia???

[keen rune]

Considered "dead", they're just goners, they could be considered dead, not sure about what the siki gotta say

[pulsar sluice]

Dude,.. Ask @red spruce about the down bad stuff, believe me... The amount of borderline-perverts. She'd be able to tell you about people being down-bad...

[keen rune]

Yep, I've seen enough, someone arrest this Stalker

[prisma goblet]

You are getting too far professor, even for me

[wild wharf]

You can't be talking! At least I'm not even considering the thing about snorks!

[red spruce]

The stuff people have told me...

[keen rune]

I never noticed the absence, I'm not like G I O wanting to have intercourse with a snork

[wild wharf]

Anyway, imma get out of this mad house while I can ok, imma save my sanity

[red spruce]

IM NOT EVEN OVER 18 AND THEY DO IT

[wild wharf]

See you gents in like 5 minutes, that's when I'll come back

[prisma goblet]

Maybe you are used to their absence

[keen rune]

I wasn't even here so what even happened?

[wild wharf]

NO IT IS NOT FOR SCIENCE

[keen rune]

basically saying "no rizz"

[red spruce]

People are down Bad for my 2D Pixel art Avatar sometines

[keen rune]

At this point, you're using science for your own pleasure, and we are NOT condoning it

Listen I can condone Krezzin's schitzophrenia, but this...this is on a new level

[pulsar sluice]

Yeah.... I'm tempted to ask what city you live in, because I'd have to say in response 'the one on the other side of the country'.

[wild wharf]

... please tell me you're actually joking right?

[pulsar sluice]

@wild wharf ... No. No she's not.

[red spruce]

Nope...

[keen rune]

Well, that's what happens when people don't find their partners, they eventually do stuff like that

[wild wharf]

Then we truly have all hit a new low

[keen rune]

@wild wharf I don't think we're talking about science now right....

[keen rune]

Someone is getting blasted tonight.

[wild wharf]

Get this man out of here ASAP, like what the

[keen rune]

We went from bloodsucking, to banging snorks, to this...I miss the person I was 5 minutes ago

[red spruce]

Its a silly ecologist as a Pixel character bro

[wild wharf]

At this point, we live in a society

[red spruce]

:3

[keen rune]

You went from that to banging snorks man....there's no hearing you out

[prisma goblet]

That was a genuine question

[pulsar sluice]

@red spruce Just say the word and Kruglov's getting replaced, the arab merc's contract is getting terminated, and both of their records are being expunged.

[keen rune]

BUT WHY??????? Why do you wanna know about how snorks have intercourse??

[prisma goblet]

I mean, I already have someone in my life I don't seek to have a relationship with a bloodsucker ...

[wild wharf]

The hell did I do?! At least I still got some sanity unlike the other dude!

[keen rune]

@wild wharf This is why I don't go to Pripyat man....yall should seek love but not love from bloodsuckers, snorks, rats, or chimeras

[red spruce]

Wich word?
Uhh, Proteins?
(I am glad to announce that I am literally the only person on discord to know this joke)

[wild wharf]

Dear lord, you're like my bloody math teacher!

[keen rune]

If anyone says one more sentence of how snorks reproduce, I'm actually going to lose my cool and just yank the plug out of my life system

[wild wharf]

The joke was cool at first, but now it just got old, REALLY FAST

[prisma goblet]

That's not worth it

[wild wharf]

No you're not, infact someone execute this man quickly

[pulsar sluice]

Yes. Yes, proteins is the word. Just this once it's the word. Loads 45 auto colt. Okay, there's a merc leaving the base.

@finite dragon You wanna' leave on your own, or do I force you out on your soon to be bullet-riddled butt?

[wild wharf]

Ok, no just no

[keen rune]

I'm very glad G I O didn't bring up zombified stalkers...otherwise things are going south real quick

[wild wharf]

YOU FOOL, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

[pulsar sluice]

Get out. NOW.

[keen rune]

Don't get any ideas gio

[regal sapphire]

is there a stalker subreddit where people dont talk about anomaly?

[keen rune]

Ok, to the execution chamber you go

[regal sapphire]

ive searched around for it but no one's mentioned anything about it

[keen rune]

No forget the chamber, you're getting sent into the Red Forest at night.

[wild wharf]

Thank you for saving us all!

[keen rune]

Highly unlikely, Anomaly is kinda a part of Stalker (not really)

[wild wharf]

No, I got a few monolith freinds. Imma just give Gio to them

[pulsar sluice]

Dude...

[regal sapphire]

nothing against anomaly but man I would really like to see posts about other stuff

[keen rune]

Snorks was one thing...zombified stalkers is a new low.

[prisma goblet]

Same, even on YouTube 3/4 of stalker content is about stalker anomaly or gamma

[regal sapphire]

yea on youtube as well its an issue

[keen rune]

People just like Anomaly because of it's better gameplay and stuff, so you're bound to run into Anomaly either way

[wild wharf]

This man is a public menace at this point

[prisma goblet]

An arena but less fun

[keen rune]

There's no female stalkers.

Unless you want me to bring my partner to the Zone, but she's not for you.

[pulsar sluice]

Y'know what? I'm done. @finite dragon Consider your contract terminated for unforgivably unacceptable behavior and conduct, breaching the terms of your contract regarding section 4a, title 8- 'Sexual Degeneracy', and you are to hand in your patch and any other equipment provided to you. AND LEAVE THIS BASE- IMMEDIETLY. OR...

[wild wharf]

Dude! Seriously!

[keen rune]

@wild wharf Ok, get this guy OUT

[regal sapphire]

@hazy helm

[wild wharf]

With pleasure!

[hazy helm]

I dont have a reddit

[regal sapphire]

alright thanks though

[pulsar sluice]

Pulls the slide on his handgun back I could just make it that much easier for the mutants to have your dead body, anyone here want @finite dragon his gear?

[wild wharf]

Wait Gio was a merc, I thought he was a freedomer judging by his behavior

[keen rune]

At this point, the Zone won't even accept him, get him OUT!

[wild wharf]

No one, not even the monolith wants this man here!

[pulsar sluice]

@wild wharf Yeah.... He wasn't even wearing his patch...

[hazy helm]

are you roleplaying here

[pulsar sluice]

@hazy helm ask for the past half hour.... @prisma goblet started this

[pulsar sluice]

then @finite dragon made it worse after kruglov started to try to put an end to it

[keen rune]

No I'm pretty sure you wanted to bang a Snork because it was already in doggystyle position or something.

[hazy helm]

man go do your roleplaying in your dms

I dont know why you doing it in a public disc server

[wild wharf]

I can back this man up, he didn't start this madness

[keen rune]

You started with Bloodsucking, then snorks, then zombified stalkers, even Sidorovich wouldn't wanna sell you.

[prisma goblet]

No 😭 It was a good question about science. YOU people made it sound like something horrible 😔

[keen rune]

I'm not sure about Ukrainian laws, but pretty sure this is human trafficking.

[keen rune]

Dude I just came back from my girl's house, I just wanna live in peace man...

[granite mortar]

Can you all just shut up? I swear you are making the server worse than Anomaly

[wild wharf]

I wish I say we could for all of us, but only a few reasonably sane people including me remain

[keen rune]

But I can't be 5 seconds with one of yall mentioning intercourse with mutants.

I got an honest question GIO, have you ever had a conversation with a woman before?

A REAL woman that's not mutated??

[hazy helm]

I dont know what you idiots are doing but do it elsewhere

[wild wharf]

... please for the love of god

[pulsar sluice]

@finite dragon gfto she's underage

[keen rune]

Yep, someone come get this man

[wild wharf]

I'm not even going to entertain this shit anymore

[pulsar sluice]

how do we report people for sexual harassment in regards to minors?

[hazy helm]

OK any of you keep the conversation going and Im muting ppl\

[granite mortar]

Shut the HELL UP NOW!

[hazy helm]

what the actual fuck

[wild wharf]

I'm just done with this

[keen rune]

Yall better stfu before I really lose my mind, get out of here GIO, I'm literally going insane right now.

[prisma goblet]

I'm so sorry. I didn't know that my initial question would lead to this. I am truly sorry

[wild wharf]

I forgive you on this, I mean it was a joke originally, until now

Anyway, let's just drop this, my braincells hurt at this point

[fluid abyss]

Huh

[pulsar sluice]

Feel glad you didn't see the past half hour of a mess.

[wild wharf]

You don't want to know, please save yourselve while you can

[granite mortar]

want a tldr?

[fluid abyss]

Sure ig, hmu in dms

[wild wharf]

Is that a fat cat?

[humble walrus]

YES

[wild wharf]

Heh, that's a bit funny

[raven grove]

Kinda bummed with the patch I ordered. Tuesday makes 4 weeks and no word lol

[finite dragon]

Is Anomaly supposed to be the best game in the series

[normal tiger]

Nah, bro... that honor belongs to GAMMUH

[finite dragon]

Does Gamma come after soc or before

[celest goblet]

technically after, but it is fanfiction

[finite dragon]

so anomaly is the prequel to clear sky

[spring apex]

[warm linden]

what

[wild wharf]

Trust me, you don't want to know what went down earlier

Save your sanity while you can

[warm linden]

Kruglov, what have you seen

[wild wharf]

Well, as I said, you don't want to know

[warm linden]

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN

[wild wharf]

I ain't spilling the beans

Anyways, some merc tried to kill me earlier while i was in wild territory. And now he's on the ground, what do you gents think. I spare him, or I execute the fellow?

[wicked flame]

Hello brother from Trepang2

[spring apex]

ignite a grenade near him

[wicked flame]

True

[wild wharf]

Eh, personally I'm on the spare side so far

[wild wharf]

I mean, I wouldn't exactly want to commit a war crime

[red spruce]

Free stalkers, veterans and hunters, join duty. Dying to a pack of blind dogs in Rostok is our common goal

[wild wharf]

I hate to say this, but this is actually so ridiculously accurate

[gaunt burrow]

Not accurate tho

Duty not being able to handle few blind dogs is more of a meme than a lore element

Even Freedomers think that Dutyers are good vs mutants: "Who else but us? Duty? They are the shit when it comes to eradicating monsters and eliminating unwanted stalkers, but you should try some time to make them actually do something useful! Do you see them here? No? That's what I mean. We, on the other hand, do not aim to destroy the creatures that live here. A barrier, a normal barrier - that should be enough. As long as no side crosses the line..." - Dialogue of Freedomer Cap

"I can give you a Crystal if you do me one particular favor. A nasty situation has developed... Lately, no one has been bringing any artifacts from the village - they are too scared. They say bloodsuckers have settled in there. These days, I can't even send anyone - in fact, I'm that close of asking Duty for help!" - Dialogue of Freedomer Skinflint

[red spruce]

It was meant as a meme...

[gaunt burrow]

Yes, misconceptive meme

Tons of those in the community

Problem is that such "jokes" were told so many times that some ppl unironically started believing them

[prisma goblet]

Like the "freedomxBloodsucker" meme?

[timber violet]

in a week and a half its going to be 3 months countdown, hype.

[prisma goblet]

Does anyone know where it came from?

[gaunt burrow]

yes

[gaunt burrow]

from mods

[prisma goblet]

I really want to see how the factions evolved

[versed crypt]

Hello people

[gaunt burrow]

hi

[versed crypt]

Busy day today so I can't talk long

Anyway, how is the day?

[gaunt burrow]

its fine thanks. how's yours?

[versed crypt]

Exhausting. I'm cleaning up, getting rid of stuff I don't want in the house, replacing the bed, burning whatever I don't want which is safely burnable, putting up posters that I haven't put up yet and I'll probably go out for a walk later. IDK what I'll do after though

[hard ember]

sounds like a grand spring clean'n

have a lovely walk

actually did some spring cleaning too, also plan to get a PC going, reapply thermal goop on the cpu, vacuum the inners, i might assign it to do pfSense to learn about these open source firewalls

wanna buy more $5 translucent containers from dollar store do additional organization around the pad

was watching reviews about the AMD RX 7900 XTX, learned that RTX cards completely crushes it, but the AMD card weirdly is the best Davinci GPU ever, so interesting for content creators who does a lot of video post-processing/editing, also nice it fits in ITX boxes where 4080/4090 can't venture

alas unfortunately I am not a lab-grown S Korean e-sports contestent so i won't be able to appreciate Clear Sky at 1200fps

will go for a lil walk too

[versed crypt]

Thanks

[versed crypt]

I need to upgrade or just replace my PC at this point. I'm thinking of doing that in the next 2 months when I have the money but next month I'm hoping I'll be able to get an electronic guitar because me and some friends want to hopefully start a band within the year for fun

So the PC will have to wait

[hard ember]

a pristine Windows box probably runs far better than a multi-month old Windows PC, so that's why i back up a disk image that i can restore from, like after i activate windows, do all the software updates, i don't even install Notepad++/7-zip/VLC, cus they take like 2 seconds to set up, so keep it squeaky clean, that state of Windows is chefs kiss it's like a brand new pc

i use GNU Clonezilla, pretty much the worst disk imaging software, you can do far better

band sounds wicked fun 🙂

iirc thermal goop only needs to be applied.. like.. what?.. every 2 years?

[versed crypt]

Yeah I need to just put all the stuff I need onto a USB and then do a clean slate on the thing TBH

[hard ember]

mhmm

[versed crypt]

I'm going to finish the rest of this pryaniki and then burn all these boxes now. I have far too many boxes

[hard ember]

noice

[finite dragon]

Is the ATF just Duty?

[finite dragon]

i hope the triple a companies will go bankrupt

[half bone]

Xbox has slightly higher specs than a PS5

I don't like Sony after they pumped and dumped some recent games.

the quintuple A too, thankfully

[granite mortar]

Good, Skull and Bones can stay

2nd of all
It was your fault

[wicked flame]

Gunslinger > Anomaly

[prisma goblet]

Isn't gunslinger only a weapon pack?

[wicked flame]

Might plan to play COC once I bought COP

[wicked flame]

I mean it's more of a gameplay overhaul mod.

[prisma goblet]

I think I downloaded it one day and my PC crashed

[granite mortar]

nah

[granite mortar]

anything > Anomaly

Id rather play the most utterly boring mod ever

[prisma goblet]

Gamma> anomaly?

[wicked flame]

Gamma is just a better Anomaly

[granite mortar]

Gamma is just Anomaly, it does everything as poorly if not worse

so its either equally bad, or worse

But Id say its better just because of how funny Groks comments on forums are

[sand fiber]

huh.... akchyually...
this bad mod is better than that bad mod....

[prisma goblet]

I remember the anomaly main story it was seriously bad

[granite mortar]

Its not even Anomalys story

[nimble cipher]

ultrapro89 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[granite mortar]

Its just LTTZ stolen and repurposed for 40th time

[wicked flame]

I'd rather have a gameplay mod over a terrible and crappy fanfic that anomaly carries.

[silk sparrow]

Hey, stalkers. are you ready for stalker2 ? 🙂

[granite mortar]

no

[prisma goblet]

Yes

[silk sparrow]

goshdarnit

[old jungle]

kinda

[spice field]

would it be worth it to get stalker? i only heard about it through someone playing the soundtrack on guitar which was cool so i learnt it, what is it like?

[granite mortar]

yes

[silk sparrow]

100% yes

[granite mortar]

Start with SoC, you can snipe it from GOG for 2 euros quite often

Small price to try the game, money you wont miss if you dont like the game

[gaunt burrow]

Absolutely

[granite mortar]

Please, just dont jump into mods immidiately

[spice field]

of course not, theres 4 on steam. are they in an order like as in the story or lore or anything like that or are they seperate games in teh same universe?

[gaunt burrow]

yes complete trilogy first (Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyay. In that order)

[granite mortar]

You start with Shadow of Chernobyl

[spice field]

then 2?

[granite mortar]

it came first, then Clear Sky (prequel explaining backstory of main character of SoC)

and then Call of Pripyat, Stalker 2 hasnt released yet

[spice field]

what other games is it similar in playstyle to?

[granite mortar]

I dont think there are many similar games

SoC is quick and dynamic when it comes to combat, similar to older Doom games maybe

[spice field]

alr sounds cool i might get it

[granite mortar]

get it on GOG, its cheaper

[wicked flame]

I mean at least anomaly is moddable so that you can just basically mod it to resemble the OG Trilogy like Old World.

[granite mortar]

ITs discounted there for most of the year

[spice field]

whats that

[silk sparrow]

its open world, you go around, questing, looting, exploring

[gaunt burrow]

In @granite mortar we trust

[granite mortar]

all Stalker games are moddable

[wicked flame]

True

[gaunt burrow]

yooo @silk sparrow long time no see man, sup?

how's life?

[silk sparrow]

wsup, nothing. just suffering like always

[granite mortar]

Good old Games, video game platform by CD project red, no licences and stuff, you buy a game and have all the files

[spice field]

kind of like metro or fallout but different still?

[granite mortar]

[spice field]

thx i might try that

[granite mortar]

similar in atmosphere, very different in playstyle

[silk sparrow]

its open world like fallout, metro is more semi-open world you cant actually go back to spawn

[spice field]

love teh aesthetic of those sort of games, especially metro

[granite mortar]

Metro is by ex Stalker devs

[spice field]

makes sense

[silk sparrow]

how are u? still on stalker 2 countdown?

[gaunt burrow]

same as usual, thanks for asking

[hazy helm]

🥹 you dont need to be so sneaky if you wanna shit on GAMMA

[granite mortar]

Is it just me or do swamps in Anomaly not feel like swamps?

They look and feel like wasteland with a puddle here and there

[loud gate]

Nothing in Anomaly looks like what it's supposed to

[granite mortar]

Damn, half the roads are gone too

[wicked flame]

Hello Stalker from Trepang2

[spring apex]

tbh those bushes in swamps are just there to lag the game's FPS and doesn't actually have transparency value (causing enemies to see you through)

[indigo marsh]

Swamps were more enjoyable in CS

[granite mortar]

Swamps are best CS map

Best map of the best game
S tier Stalker map

[spring apex]

i like the atmosphere and ambience there

sounds of frogs, bugs, and birds coupled with occassional shotgun fire from nearby renegades shooting at something

[gaunt burrow]

Swamps, peak design

[granite mortar]

real

[indigo marsh]

The second best in CS would be Cordon

[gaunt burrow]

Army Warehouses gets no love

for some reason people rarely talk about it. I actually like that map a lot

both in SoC and CS

[indigo marsh]

Forgot about army warehouse existed in CS

[spring apex]

i only like the actual army base in that map. don't like hilly areas

[indigo marsh]

But it's still not number 3 for me that would be Limansk

[granite mortar]

I really like Garbage in CS, theres lot of stuff going on thanks to faction wars, its also nice to see the flea market and hangar in good state

[spring apex]

of course not because of its multiplayer map

[gaunt burrow]

yeah Garbage ain't bad

[indigo marsh]

Honestly rookie base is very enjoyable place to be in

The Bar is enjoyable too

[granite mortar]

Rostok is only good thanks to the guard
"I said come in, dont stand there" is peak

you said the most questionable stuff of the bunch

[gaunt burrow]

I disagree. all Rostok residents are pretty memorable

[indigo marsh]

Bar and rookie village are not really full maps but they bring up the enjoyability of the map they are located in

[granite mortar]

Tbh I like Buildo Bar/Rostok mainly because the names make more sense

[indigo marsh]

I deleted to OLR to get more space

[granite mortar]

you guys delete your mods?

[indigo marsh]

But I mean I got goldsphere ogse

[granite mortar]

Based

[indigo marsh]

And war thunder to replace it

[granite mortar]

so fvcking zased

[gaunt burrow]

Goldsphere'd Shill

[granite mortar]

the grind is real

[gaunt burrow]

Why do you like Goldsphere so much? @granite mortar

[granite mortar]

Comes to atmosphere and the mental state I was in when I first discovered it

[indigo marsh]

I love how there are 2 guys shilling mods made by jenkan but not but not by vivent team, who are said to make the best mods

[granite mortar]

Shilling over Vivient isnt fun

[indigo marsh]

Jenkan is truly better than vivent team

[granite mortar]

yes

[indigo marsh]

Because he has shills

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

That's how I knew to play goldsphere and RTTZ

(I was going to play it anyways)

[granite mortar]

yes

Also, the title of best modder goes to Professional, not Vivient
They are in very close second place tho

[indigo marsh]

Who is professional

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

And what are the more popular mods he made

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[granite mortar]

He made Spatial Anomaly, probably the best mod out there when it comes to writing, characters and such

[indigo marsh]

Have heard a lot of good things about it

[granite mortar]

Yes, its great

Its like a movie in form of a Stalker mod

10/10
Cant recommend enough

[pulsar sluice]

oh, OH, so making borderline sexual comments about kira, a MINOR was 'opened up' by Mato? Don't think so. She already gets enough thirst crap to deal with on her channel, without having to put up with it here.

I mean like it's not just white slavic males that should be in the Zone tbh

[sand fiber]

transmasc representation in S2 real?!

very true!

[warm linden]

I have bee nsummoned

[frail raft]

havent seen foot in this discord for 2 years and this is the first conversation i stumbled upon

[raven grove]

[frail raft]

genuinely pray this is not what the stalker community has come to

[gaunt burrow]

LMFAO. I don't envy you

[sand fiber]

this is what true stalker community has always been

[granite mortar]

omg True Stalker mentioned

[pulsar sluice]

It was worse last night. Don't even ask.

Like... not worth it.

[sand fiber]

True Stalker??? the That-True-Stalker??? the mythical concept of the True Stalker game based on the 2004-2006 promotional information and leaked builds??? that refers to the collective of the pre-release SoC concepts and gameplay builds??? no way

[raven grove]

I bet the entire furry fan base of Stalker could take on Monolith with just knives there's that many

[granite mortar]

Thats OLR

[granite mortar]

yeah but they cant take on psychiatrist

[pulsar sluice]

Give them all Mexican machetes and the monolith is mono-cracked.

[sand fiber]

i meant the "Тот Самый Сталкер" saying which means anything buildo

[granite mortar]

[sand fiber]

[raven grove]

Yes actually, my therapist is a furry too

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

[indigo marsh]

If monolith had a bias tank then they could so the entire furry community

[sand fiber]

i now want a mod with a quest to deliver a fursuit to some stalker

there's so much untapped potential

[granite mortar]

Monolith BMP-2M would be so fvcking zased

[gaunt burrow]

Oh Monolith, heal those sinners

[indigo marsh]

I was thinking IS 7

[raven grove]

"Hey, Stalker! I ordered my Komono before I came to the zone. It finally just got finished and delivered to Sidorovich. Can you bring it to me?"

[indigo marsh]

But that's the spirit

[granite mortar]

isnt there a SoC mod that lets you wear one?
Not that I know anything about it

[sand fiber]

is there?????

[granite mortar]

not that I know anything about it

[granite mortar]

B2 Spirit?

[sand fiber]

i NEED information

[raven grove]

Time to design Strelok's fursona

[indigo marsh]

Yeah with the b61

[granite mortar]

You need to play Goldsphere

[indigo marsh]

Real

[sand fiber]

i'm more interested in Scar's fursona tbh

[raven grove]

I have my AI open lol

[sand fiber]

i will, one day, but i doubt Jekan is brave enough to put fursuits in his game

[granite mortar]

hes not deranged enough to do it

[gaunt burrow]

^

[sand fiber]

by definition stalker modders are deranged enough

[frail raft]

yeah its in r.e.b.o.r.n

[granite mortar]

Dammit Matt, why do we react to everything in the same way? Is it some common trait of people with copiously large collections of Stalker content?

[sand fiber]

oh god

[gaunt burrow]

Great minds think alike

[granite mortar]

[north herald]

When stalker 2 will drop i already can see how i search for me a spot where i just enjoy the view and the atmosphere of the game

[prisma goblet]

I'm pretty sure that even if the game turned out to be bad I'd love it because I'm biased

[broken latch]

On behalf of the stalker community, I say no

[sand fiber]

cope

[broken latch]

I am trying to

@gaunt burrow hello, I need to hear something cool about stalker

[gaunt burrow]

anything specific?

[broken latch]

Just to be cool

[gaunt burrow]

Vova Vist is one of the best characters

[broken latch]

Do you have anything that isn't widely known?

[loud gate]

The Walker Pistol of Cordon

[gaunt burrow]

yes, know about the fact that bandits wanted to take control of AW territories during CS? I can provide screenshot if something

its stated in description of Commander's PDA

[broken latch]

Send

[drowsy schooner]

Just passed the machine gunner in CS. So hard to not get killed when he can shoot through the trees

[sand fiber]

you've been spared by Vova Vist

[drowsy schooner]

The only way to play is to run away from him right? I tried to shoot back at the military but Vova had laser accurate aim so I gave up.

[gaunt burrow]

Want a video tutorial?

bypassing Vist isn't as hard as it seems

I can send you a vid in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[drowsy schooner]

Yeah like an hour ago 😭

[wild wharf]

I think it will release in September if memory serves me well

[celest goblet]

September 5 is the current release date

[wild wharf]

Thanks for clarifying

[covert slate]

y'know thinking about it again i do think it's funny that Clear Sky wants you to not let others know they exist, but proceed to give you their suit for the road

[gaunt burrow]

Also, many guides from different factions literally know where Clear Sky's base is lol

[covert slate]

i like to think they just don't realize people already know instead of dev oversight

[gaunt burrow]

Could also be just a gameplay thing I guess

[wild wharf]

Clear sky Is the one in the group that tried to be inconspicuous, but practically everyone knows who they are.

[gaunt burrow]

that's exaggeration tbh. faction was pretty well hidden (at least lorewise)

"We're based here for a reason. Before the Emission, this was the most desolate and inaccessible part of the Zone. Of course, you could always go deeper into the center, but no one would survive that trip. Consider this the outskirts. The Cordon is to the east of here, Agroprom is to the north, and the other directions...that's where the Zone ends." - Dialogue of Clear Sky member

"This here's a good place to hide. From whom? From anyone: bandits, the military, or anyone else who's got their sights on you. Just jump into the reeds and you're as good as gone. Of course, if you want to lay low, don't do it literally. There's too many treacherous places waiting to trap you, and plenty of nasty creatures around. Take one wrong step and it's hasta la vista, baby!" - Another dialogue

[wild wharf]

Yeah, in terms of faction base. They are well hidden. But the armor and the guides knowing who they are pretty much gives it away.

[gaunt burrow]

many guides knowing Clear Sky's base could be just a gameplay thing

As for their armor how would people even know that it's Clear Sky armor?

[loud gate]

Patch. But they'd need to know the patch.

[gaunt burrow]

It's not like Scar would tell them or something

in the intro Scar wasn't even wearing any sort of armor, just a trenchcoat

[wild wharf]

Ok, maybe you got me there in armor, but what about PDA in contacts, wouldn't that at least give away the affiliation of members?

[gaunt burrow]

My point is that faction is relatively well hidden, but that doesn't mean that some people don't know about its existence

Leshiy & his mercs fought with Scar and Clear Sky to take control over Red Forest's bridge leading to Limansk

Plus Clear Sky members are/were directly buying supplies from the army, it's told in Description of "Return item: Akm 74/2U" sidequest:

"A few days ago renegades attacked a Clear Sky squad, just as they were buying a shipment of weapons from the military. Most shooters were captured by the renegades, but the best assault rifle was hidden. You need to recover it."

[wild wharf]

Ah ok, well thanks for clarifying your point. I understand now

[gaunt burrow]

Lebedev in one of his dialogues also said "We have made use of all our contacts and connections in the Zone"

[red spruce]

Clear sky is just good :>

(Both the game and faction)

[broken latch]

Just the game

[loud gate]

based.

[gaunt burrow]

I mean game exists, but faction itself stopped existing

[wild wharf]

So guys, I'm about to wrap up on my first SoC playthrough. Should I play call of pripyat. Or clear skies?

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky first

but keep in mind that events of Clear Sky happen before SoC and CoP events

releasewise it's SoC, CS and CoP but chronologically it's CS, SoC and CoP

[celest goblet]

Yeah I would just play in release order, so SoC -> CS -> CoP

Though really the most important thing is to play SoC first since the others will spoil some elements of the original game

[wild wharf]

Yeah, that's kinda what I was going to do originally, so thanks for the advice. I think imma play clear skies next

[granite mortar]

I like how in the chronological order the first last shortened name of one game is the starting name of the next one

[gaunt burrow]

very poggers

[granite mortar]

indeed

[wild wharf]

So guys quick question, what's in the tourists delight?

I mean, I gotta know what I'm eating

[granite mortar]

shhhh
You cant ask that out loud

they will hear you...

[wild wharf]

What, is it a crime to even ask?

[granite mortar]

shhhh

zased list

Return to the Zone personally, but Wind of Time is also great

[gaunt burrow]

I always assumed that it's basically a canned stewed meat (In Russian тушёнка)

[granite mortar]

Its made of Tushkanos?

f.i.l.t.e.r.e.d.

[gaunt burrow]

nah lol, тушёнка is just a Russian word for canned stewed meat

[granite mortar]

nothing
Me? Justhanging around

[wild wharf]

Wait... it's made from RATS?!

[gaunt burrow]

noooo lol XD

[celest goblet]

Plenty

[gaunt burrow]

тушёнка = Russian word for canned stewed meat

[granite mortar]

yeah, Spatial Anomaly, RTTN, Incubator, Dreamcatcher...

[celest goblet]

Try Incubator

[granite mortar]

ready my list

[wild wharf]

For me, I just prefer to play vanilla with no mods. Is that a perfectly reasonable choice?

[granite mortar]

Spatial Anomaly

[gaunt burrow]

"In scripts, this item is referred to as "conserva" which is generic slavic name for any canned food, usually spam."*

*from Stalker.Wikia

http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Tourist's_Delight

[celest goblet]

Yeah

[granite mortar]

isnt it generic name for just the can?

[granite mortar]

Youre real boring

[indigo marsh]

You didn't mention GS. That's a surprise

[wild wharf]

And I love it!

[granite mortar]

They dropped Wind of Time, they do not deserve Goldsphere 😤

[indigo marsh]

But RTTZ is mentioned?

Isn't rttz just a sequel to goldsphere

[granite mortar]

Yeah but Goldsphere is more precious

I dont shill over RTTZ
We got other people for that

[loud gate]

No grass render distance fix mention

[granite mortar]

😭

[loud gate]

Yes?

[celest goblet]

believe it just runs on regular CoP?

[granite mortar]

yeah

[celest goblet]

then you should be okay

[finite dragon]

fr! total representation!

[hard ember]

sup:)

[finite dragon]

Wsg y'all

[north herald]

So guys, is the 5th september really the final date? I remember how one moderator said on the steam discussion board i can definitley take vacation on that day because it will happen.

[loud gate]

Yes

[wild wharf]

Hopefully yes

[north herald]

Thank god, i couldnt take an another delay. I know, its better than coming out buggy but still, everytime it happened i thought "dear god will i ever see this game"

[stoic locust]

Have I been oblivious, or has there not been much gameplay shown?

[north herald]

Could be in 3 weeks i heard because of the xbox showcases?

[stoic locust]

Nice. Fingers crossed. I pre-ordered for reasons, but I still wonder.

[north herald]

Normaly i dont preorder, but in this case i couldnt resist

[stoic locust]

Yeah, I wanted to support these devs in particular for a change.

Will gift it to friends eventually.

[covert slate]

how do you think people waiting for Shadow Of Chornobyl felt, it was supposed to come out in 03 and ended up in 07

[loud gate]

There's 3 gameplay trailers released.

[stoic locust]

Looked kind of scripted.

[covert slate]

from what i heard of people who played the demo, stuff like that is not

[stoic locust]

:)

[north herald]

I think thats also the case for people who waited for stalker 2 since 2011? I mean the most people thought we will never see a second game

[covert slate]

we're just hoping that the showcase this june has some uncut raw gameplay footage

[hard ember]

just an off-topic question, in 2007 did people need powerful 2007 PCs to play Shadow of Chernobyl?

[covert slate]

i think there had to be specific cards to get for it

[hard ember]

nuts 🙂

[covert slate]

they even had the games art on them

[north herald]

I cant belive that we are very near (again). I mean, at the beginning of the year september felt so long, but now we can almost touch it.

[stoic locust]

Yeah, it's not like I'm impatient or anything. I live life in the ultra slow lane anyway. I just hope they'll be alright and make use of the support they have from the community.

[celest goblet]

SoC could run on older hardware, but on the higher settings it was pretty demanding for the time

[hard ember]

the pleasure of being a short story enjoyer is that what is left out is yours to own, belonging to your imagination, so less is sometimes more, i rather watch a 10 episode .KR/.JP tv series (which weirdly is always 10 episodes) then follow Star Trek over several decades

[stoic locust]

Absolute bliss on my Inspiron (i7) laptop.

[granite mortar]

Who plays Stalker on high details anyways?

[hard ember]

beyond 10 episodes the creatives are just being forced to stress over nothing and they just create fillers

[stoic locust]

Clear Sky actually surprised me with how beautiful it was.

[granite mortar]

it is

[hard ember]

so if there wasn't a Stalker 2, you'd survive dawg, Stalker 2 would be your imagination rite?

[stoic locust]

Lol. True. I've only played vanilla so far anyway.

Spent a lot of time on them though.

Speaking of, I booted up Call of Pripyat last night and was reminded I can't complete the help ex-Monolith quest because one of the brownie-points quests was bugged early on (the one with the meeting). I didn't restart then because I didn't think it would be important. Is there a console command to get past that? I did all the other side missions.

[gaunt burrow]

which quest?

[granite mortar]

helping strider to join faction

[hard ember]

there's this bug where the ex-Monolith would slaughter your join-our-faction diplomats

[gaunt burrow]

ahhhh

[granite mortar]

hehe

[gaunt burrow]

never encountered that bug honestly (and don't want to)

[hard ember]

it's not the worst to just leave that mission be... mebbe miss out on an achievement and can't bring strider with you ||into the Pripyat 1 tunnel||

i had the bug too and it was the only bug i couldn't get around before || heading into Pripyat 1||, no harms done

[granite mortar]

yeah but you will miss the most badass moment of the trilogy

[gaunt burrow]

you can get both man of balance achievement and recruit Strider into Freedom

generally becoming friends with Freedom is easier than with Duty

[hard ember]

it's okay i am just here for the story, i am not unpaid beta tester of bugs

[gaunt burrow]

just tell Loki about Magpie/Flint, complete Yar's sidequest, get Mutant Hunter and friend of stalkers achievements

diplomat achievement as well

[granite mortar]

yeah but the moment is really good, shows how skillful strider really is

[stoic locust]

No, for me they're fine, but I can't win over Duty/Freedom at Yanov because I couldn't complete that early mission with the bandits in Zaton. The AI just didn't allow the mission to take place.

[gaunt burrow]

you mean Hit quest?

it got bugged for me once, cutscene wasn't starting

[hard ember]

yeah on my final play through i was very cautious to keep all the books and pdas and give them to Freedom, that helped with reputation

[gaunt burrow]

transaction sidequest* sry

[hard ember]

i had all this book/pda garbage in my inventory but i'll survive

[gaunt burrow]

you don't even have to sell anything to Loki tbh

[hard ember]

it's not really for the money, i was just worried about reputation, i failed several play throughs due to playing it a lil loose so my final playthrough i just sorta play it by book

you do you, i am not saying you gotta play it like i did

just sharing what worked for me

[gaunt burrow]

telling Loki about Flint/Magpie, completing Yar's sidequest and getting Mutant Hunter, A friend of stalkers and Diplomat achievements are enough for Freedom to become friendly

Personally I'd sell PDAs to Owl for trafficker of information achievement

[hard ember]

yeah ^ that's the way

the fandom wikis are pretty clear about pros and cons and how to go about it

i just read and did my thing

[gaunt burrow]

ye Wiki is accurate in that regard, but when it comes to lore and cut content, it's far from perfect

so you gotta do your own research there

[stoic locust]

Yeah, that's the one.

[granite mortar]

What about Zone Chronicles?

[hard ember]

yep, wiki made no sense with resolving the strider-join-us bug

[gaunt burrow]

I never managed to unbag it so I just started the new game, which helped

very idiotic bug

[stoic locust]

Yeah... Well, I'll try it next playthrough then.

[gaunt burrow]

can't tell

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

I do my research instead of relying on Wiki when it comes to the lore

[azure zealot]

Gotta be honest wont play Stalker 2 if its not coming out for PS5 ( i literally cant play it )

[granite mortar]

Ive heard from Vasim, Choco and Eruiq that its much better than Eng wiki

[gaunt burrow]

from what I know is that RU wiki does seem more accurate than EN one

[hard ember]

i am kinda thinking about getting that new PS5 that's suppose to come out
curious about the japanese console controller

there were some youtubers saying that the GPU inside the new PS5 Pro would be like this interim RDNA 3.5 with some of AMD's latest ray tracing tech (the youtubers are going by X tweets/leaks/rumors tho)
i was googling about what exactly are worthy ps5 exclusives, it's a short list but a cool list
i might skip an xbox this time around..cus already have a PC that ran most of the xbox catalog

[granite mortar]

Hmm, Zone Chronicles doesnt count Loners and Renegades as factions but they count C-Con

weird

[gaunt burrow]

does it counts bandits as faction?

[granite mortar]

yeah

[gaunt burrow]

not a proper faction as well

[granite mortar]

wait, theres more down, ohhh
Theres popular stuff up and then theres list of all groups down

[sand fiber]

skill issue!

[granite mortar]

Yes

[sand fiber]

yes
