[pseudo rivet]

What if the Heart of Chornobyl theory actually is true?

[naive fog]

It's funny that to find out who he was, Strelok could've just checked the ranks and scrolled for a bit. He definitely was one of the better stalkers anyway so it wouldn't have taken long

[pseudo rivet]

If that's why the Zone is somewhat unstable?

[gaunt burrow]

Zone is alive and it reacts to people being in its center is what I think

[celest blaze]

that means monolith is the zones immune system? keeping it safe ?

[pseudo rivet]

I think the Burnouts of CS actually are the Zone's reaction, not one controlled by man as many believe

[naive fog]

Same

[celest blaze]

yeah i always felt the burnouts are not emmisions

[pseudo rivet]

That and the Emissions, with Stalkers basically being viruses and bacteria disrupting the system

Also, the Zone permits Stalkers into some areas while denying access towards other areas

The Burnout of CS changed the face of the Zone and made some places unaccessible, while granting access to unexplored territories

[dapper finch]

There are multiple threats

[gaunt burrow]

Zone before first trip of Strelok, Fang and Ghost used to be stable for years according to Kalancha/Beanpolev

[pseudo rivet]

But not an immediate threat

Professor Beanpolev enjoyer

[gaunt burrow]

[dapper finch]

I know it's bean-polev but I always read it as Bean Pole V

[pseudo rivet]

Thoughts on the Heart of Chornobyl theory?

[finite dragon]

Good morning

[gaunt burrow]

Morning

[pseudo rivet]

'Sup

[dapper finch]

What's the theory

[pseudo rivet]

Remember the artifact Strelok found at the CNPP? It's in one of the cutscenes of SoC. Theory is that this is the Heart of Chornobyl

At least, I came up with that theory

[dapper finch]

Oh like the Heart of the Oasis

[gaunt burrow]

Maybe

[celest goblet]

That would be interesting

[pseudo rivet]

Something like that, yeah

With the Zone having the same reaction as the Oasis did when Degtyarev grabs the Heart

[gaunt burrow]

But on another hand it could be C-Con as well. If you’re the only one who could potentially stop and fix the Zone, would you rather expand the Zone by a bit to remove or stop a threat, or just let it kill you?

You’re choosing a small L over the ultimate L

[dapper finch]

Something interesting about the Oasis is it seems like it might have been created by the collective rumors about its existence being fed into the noosphere, making it real.

Then take into account of the console trilogy

"Legends of the Zone"

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure, seems opposed to what they claim to stand for

[pseudo rivet]

Them making a bundle specially for us yellow lads is pretty cool, ngl

[dapper finch]

"The zone in our image, after our likeness" - Doctor, pretty much quoting The Stalker from Tarkovsky's film

[pseudo rivet]

Think it's more a case of "Legends" as in "past stories", in reference of HoC being in the future and those stories being like "legends", tales of old

[dapper finch]

The mechanics in that film are that what people take into the zone in the form of their thoughts is what shapes the zone

[pseudo rivet]

And the same is the case in STALKER

[dapper finch]

But also the things that shaped the zone

[pseudo rivet]

Hermit agrees

The Zone is what you want it to be

[gaunt burrow]

real

[dapper finch]

End of the latest trailer too

[pseudo rivet]

It's basically a reflection of your thoughts

[dapper finch]

It's just stalkers... amplified and warped.

[pseudo rivet]

The Zone may not be without it's dangers, but Stalkers can adapt or fight against it

Co-exist even

[dapper finch]

And that's a delicate balance, because it's a Loki-like god of trickery

[pseudo rivet]

Loki, you say?

[gaunt burrow]

Hermit is 1 woke ass character man

Love his character and ideology ngl

[gaunt burrow]

or rather philosophy

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom is based for basically aligning with their vision, too

[elfin echo]

Freedom is based for dropping 5.56

[gaunt burrow]

[elfin echo]

I really love them for that

[pseudo rivet]

I love Duty for the same except 5.45

Makes my IL 86 very happy

[celest blaze]

ngl i hope we get to see sin in S2 since it was cut from the franchise

[elfin echo]

Ehhh i gun them down for my amusement

[celest blaze]

i love the idea of crazy cults

[pseudo rivet]

Cringe, don't care

[celest blaze]

cared enough to comment

[gaunt burrow]

The Zone becomes much less important if it isn't a potential existential threat IMHO

If it's not growing, then Duty are just objectively wrong and Freedom are based and that's the end of it

[dapper finch]

What role would they play, unless that's the name for the new wave of monolithians who choose to stay

[gaunt burrow]

Then again, if it is growing then Freedom is objectively wrong and Duty are based

[celest blaze]

im not sure i just like the esoteric potential however idk how theyd fit properly

[dapper finch]

The Stranger might not be the worst candidate

[celest blaze]

fr

[pseudo rivet]

It's always a good idea to tell someone they're wrong and give yourself a 50/50 chance to look based or cringe asf

[dapper finch]

The Monolithians always had a false image of the zone, worshipping a trick within it, but The Stranger seems to worship the zone "herself"

[celest blaze]

true i just hope they explore the cosmic horror side of the zone more then pew pew pew action

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, with the Monolith being an illusion and not an actual alien crystal, that's pretty hard

Ngl, alien crystal Monolith would've been based

[dapper finch]

Then again, who knows, maybe they made the monolith real by wanting it to be real 😛

[gaunt burrow]

Monolith was never real

[dapper finch]

Key word, was

[gaunt burrow]

Doctor in SoC describes it as "an illusion, manufactured in a lab" and Strelok in Call of Pripyat says the following:

"It's all fake... The Monolith, the Wish Granter, is just a lie, a device that clouds your mind. And the people behind it are hiding out somewhere else..."

[pseudo rivet]

Man, 40k Ork lore going wild here

[celest blaze]

i wonder how they are gonna expand on this in S2

[dapper finch]

Yeah, but if the Psi fields turn off but some literally make their own emitters, what is it they hear?

[gaunt burrow]

. After you refuse to join the C-Consciousness and the sequence with teleporters at the northern part of the CNPP begins, at one point you will find yourself on a railing on the roof of the Sarcophagus, and you will be able to look inside through the holes in it - and the place where the Monolith was located will be empty. It's not certain whether this was an intentional thing, but it can still be assumed that the Monolith simply disappeared after the generators were destroyed

[dapper finch]

They seem to be setting up Faust to be as persuasive as Strider

[celest blaze]

man that makes it even wilder makes me wonder if what we did was all an illusion and fake

[pseudo rivet]

Strider? Persuasive? SInce when?

[gaunt burrow]

I do think that it was intentional tbh

[dapper finch]

The Strider trailer

[gaunt burrow]

You can even hear a voice announcing that the installation's power level is decreasing when you're destroying 6 generators powering it: https://vocaroo.com/11X8FoIJttS5

[pseudo rivet]

Persuasive though?

[celest blaze]

i wonder what truly happened then

[dapper finch]

He gives a really good warning of the danger of brainwashing.

[celest blaze]

did we truly even fight anyone ?

[pseudo rivet]

Persuasive though?

[gaunt burrow]

Monolithians worship something thats not even real basically

[dapper finch]

What more do you want, it wasn't much dialogue in the trailer 😂

[gaunt burrow]

at least trilogy Monolith

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-force-unleashed-gif-23620078

[celest blaze]

i wonder what S2 mono will be like

[gaunt burrow]

Monolith before CS used to "protect" the Zone, according to dialogues

[pseudo rivet]

It's not persuasive then

[dapper finch]

He's literally trying to persuade Skif to consider his actions.

[gaunt burrow]

Strider got that former brainwashed Monolithian rizz, end of story

[pseudo rivet]

And Strider in CoP describes the Monolith in a way it feels like it isn't his brainwashed side talking. He calls the Monolith "An alien crystal which brought life from planets beyond"

[pseudo rivet]

Not persuasive

[dapper finch]

Sigh...

[misty kite]

freedomers when they see black men without their clothes on

[gaunt burrow]

I wouldn't take his words for granted, tbh. He also mentions that "a few years" of his life were gone, when their brainwashing only took place only a year earlier

[elfin echo]

huh?

[celest blaze]

?

[pseudo rivet]

To be fair, it is CoP. That or he didn't mean it literally

He also says "Years long coma"

[dapper finch]

That might just be how it was advertised within the early Monolith faction, or by C-Con or Group propagandists.

[pseudo rivet]

That's what I'm saying

It's how the original Monolith sees the Wish Granter

[gaunt burrow]

ngl lore of older monolith should've been explored more imho

[pseudo rivet]

I think seeing Monolithians as far as the Great Swamps is pretty interesting

HAS to be an older Monolithian, of course

But interesting to see one all the way over there, tbh

[gaunt burrow]

absolutely

[dapper finch]

I hope we get some real deep lore and thematics explored

[gaunt burrow]

"I heard a whole faction went missing in the Zone. You ever heard of Monolith? Well, they used to protect the Zone from others, but they made a move towards the center right before the Emission. Nobody has heard from them since, but recently some real aggressive stalkers have been attacking from where the Scorcher is, killing everyone and asking no questions. I know because I saw them myself around the military warehouses, and I reckon they might be those same Monolithians who disappeared. It wouldn't surprise me, because their uniforms looked real similar."

One of my favorite dialogues

[finite dragon]

I will kill the wiki page and you won't be able to stop me

[gaunt burrow]

direct confirmation that older Monolithians already had the same uniforms as trilogy ones

[finite dragon]

Need to rework the dialogues

[dapper finch]

Fun fact: Announcing your strategy is a great way to doom it

[pseudo rivet]

New Monolith dialogue can be found as early as the Garbage

Pretty interesting, tbh

[gaunt burrow]

dw I got them saved

[finite dragon]

By that I mean to create better pages

Like the Russians did in their wiki

[finite dragon]

Yeah it won't happen because I'm too lazy

[pseudo rivet]

Mag dump dialogue though?

[gaunt burrow]

Honestly tho, I always wondered who hired Hog to kill Monolithians and why

[pseudo rivet]

That one just tells you how resilient those bastards are

[gaunt burrow]

I have that 1 as well I believe

[pseudo rivet]

They legit dumped multiple clips into one and he just wouldn't let go

THEY

[gaunt burrow]

this one right? @pseudo rivet

[pseudo rivet]

More than one person dumping multiple clips into a Monolithian

Yeah, that's the one

[still ridge]

Monolit…

[gaunt burrow]

Monolithians in the games grunting in pain and recoiling from the wounds is wacky as it directly contradicts the lore

Kinda wish that wasn't the case

[finite dragon]

Is it possible to kill the freedom armory guard without making everyone mad

Mf took an explosive barrel that was like an inch away from him

[gaunt burrow]

yes, very

theres heavy implication that snorks used to be male soldiers before

[gaunt burrow]

remember that video I sent you about how to kill people in Rostok without alerting anyone?

[finite dragon]

Oh right

[gaunt burrow]

try the same method, it should work

[finite dragon]

Incredibly difficult to pull off

Wow what's that sticker bro

[gaunt burrow]

you might get lucky

[finite dragon]

Let's go gambling!

[gaunt burrow]

making a hardsave before performing that action is recommended tho

[glad spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/danger-alert-siren-alarm-red-light-gif-16931369

[finite dragon]

Might also try to roll another barrel into him

The barrel part is incredibly tedious I feel like Sisyphus

[finite dragon]

There's a good reason why GSC added butt shading for snorks. I mean just look at how shiny the outline is.

[gaunt burrow]

[finite dragon]

I mean snorks are humans that have been transformed by the zone so it may be zoophilic which is way worse

[gaunt burrow]

it would be both gay and zoophilic

[finite dragon]

Yeah Freedom doesn't like it when I accidentally drop an explosive and steal half their things

[finite dragon]

It's theoretically possible for a female to turn into a snork

[gaunt burrow]

doesn't exists

[finite dragon]

However since like there have been no female characters in the og trilogy

And we've seen a female mentioned once in some dialogue

[dapper finch]

Simple solution - get yourself snorkified too

[finite dragon]

Chances are there exist no female snorks

[gaunt burrow]

yes but theres no confirmation of that. absolutely all snorks in the trilogy are male

[finite dragon]

Okay but that's painful and I don't wanna be a part of a species that jumps at stalkers and lands nowhere near and then gets shot by said stalkers

Imagine developing incredibly powerful legs that allow you to jump and cover recording breaking lengths just to miss

And then get shot with a shotgun

[dapper finch]

me missing with the shotgun too so it goes on for a while

[celest blaze]

To be fair snorks start it

[gaunt burrow]

nah, not really. some stalkers literally have a wife: "Nothing. I don't know squat. I grab a bite here and there, trying to make enough for my daily bread. It's too creepy going into the Zone itself - to hell with it. And there's no work at home, my wife's on my case - gotta live somehow. Here at the Garbage, if you look around for a day, you can get some artifacts together. And it'll do for your bread and butter."

[celest blaze]

It's not to late to delete this post

[gaunt burrow]

Freedomers also have gfs (at least mentioned Serega in Clear Sky does)

[dapper finch]

This is the internet, it's always too late

[finite dragon]

I mean snorks are basically cripples

[celest blaze]

Can snorks even consent

[finite dragon]

Snorks when I unscrew the wheel off their wheelchair

[gaunt burrow]

"A note made on the handle of this guitar with a ball-point pen indicates that it was a gift to someone called Serega from his girlfriend." - Description of Serega's guitar

[dapper finch]

It's not like they ask

[celest blaze]

True

[gaunt burrow]

.

[finite dragon]

Don't zombies talk about coming back to their children

[gaunt burrow]

bruh, that is just a myth, meme or call it whatever you will

[celest blaze]

Bloodsuckerussy is hard to resist ong

[gaunt burrow]

in the lore Freedomers either kill or avoid mutants

[flint grail]

Man why is that the first thing I read when I open this chat

[dapper finch]

"It's too creepy going into the Zone itself - to hell with it. And there's no work at home, my wife's on my case."

Creepy zone, wife at home

[celest blaze]

Lol

[gaunt burrow]

in fact bandits are more likely to be mutant f*ckers since one of their dialogues in Clear Sky mentions them thinking that mutants are hot

[dapper finch]

It could've been worse tbh

[gaunt burrow]

"Which Zone are you asking about? This one? This is just a children's playground compared to some other joints I've been in. A real paradise for a thief. Barbed wire and armed soldiers? Well, that's nothing. We got our own army. Move around all you want, get unlimited packages from the outside, and get hammered all you like - it's nothing but a joyride! Only problem is - no women. They don't like it here. Sometimes I get a craving so bad that even mutants start looking hot to me..."

[finite dragon]

There exists a test wether or not something is morally dubious to have intercourse with or not and you need to fill in 3 things.

Is the thing you want to smash an adult of it's species
Does it have human level intelligence or higher
Does it consent

If one of these isn't filled out you're either a rapist, pedo or zoophile or maybe all

[gaunt burrow]

no one in the trilogy mentions female ecologists

[celest blaze]

@flint grail atleast you didn't have to read this

[dapper finch]

Lol probably just someone in a SP-99 putting on a voice

[finite dragon]

Bro's making his own stalker game

[dapper finch]

Not like you'd ever know

[gaunt burrow]

wait wait

hold on you mean PDA entry called "On Loneliness"?

yes that's "On Loneliness" PDA entry. want a screenshot?

[finite dragon]

@gaunt burrow do you use my google sheets with stalker dialogs?

Or do you have your own thingy?

[gaunt burrow]

#📸┃screens_and_videos

[gaunt burrow]

I usually copy dialogues from my own Reddit posts XD

[finite dragon]

@gaunt burrow Do you have the dialogue where a freedom member talks about the brain scorcher making you retarded in SOC

[dapper finch]

"She was all glowing on the inside"
With the zone, I take that literally

[gaunt burrow]

"You look out for yourself! You know that the Scorcher is very close; if you go north, you'll be another dead retard." ths one?

[finite dragon]

Wow I can't believe the brain scorcher makes people play gamma if they get too close to it

[gaunt burrow]

some Freedomers start the conversation with that phrase

[flint grail]

Yeah you have a point thats a lot worse

[gaunt burrow]

💀

[dapper finch]

Now you're getting the full stalker discord experience

[flint grail]

*queue spy kids steve buscemi quote "Do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?"

[gaunt burrow]

I think it was Zone's f*ckery

sort of mirage if you will

1 girl called Leska almost made it into the Zone but got caught at its border with a "pretty boy" (Orest's dialogue)

[dapper finch]

Yeah the last line makes me think he's soaked up a few too many rads

The women don't go to the zone, they go to the shimmer

[finite dragon]

I made these RU-UA-EN dialogue sheets on google for when I was translating the games, of course I gave up. But now they're just there for easier reference than opening the game files every single time.

SoC: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uO46YsZ1Fznl-QDie8ciTdX6Lqanfg3pMT1uKw2T1tA/

CS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GSUspxSJ6GjSVFTSLpn3t7BIO5Gp2RuK4WyBZymNNI8/

CoP: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18lDG9U-6-mXeHQl1SVdRU8nZDWkPWliA4HZRwWgMAks/

RU was the original text, UA was the post-release reworked RU texts that got translated, EN was the old pre-release RU texts that got translated.

[gaunt burrow]

I don't think they go/try to go into the Zone in the first place, we only know that only Leska tried entering the Zone

[finite dragon]

Military actually does something besides getting shot by Strelok

[hazy helm]

Went from a code explorer searching the depths of files to a boring analyst looking at a white sheet

[finite dragon]

Literally a Loner vs Ecologist analogy

[gaunt burrow]

thanks for that 👍

[finite dragon]

No, THANK YOU

[gaunt burrow]

for?

[finite dragon]

Being the most based community member

[dapper finch]

"Officially cool"

[gaunt burrow]

appreciate it a lot

[finite dragon]

Replaced SurDno as the new king of the lore

[gaunt burrow]

I'm not as knowledgeable as Surdno, Crimson, Dugout and many others tbh

[finite dragon]

Yeah well the wiki editors are most knowledgable, the rest just use the knowledge from them

Damn we actually need to rework the wiki qwq

I've been trying to mess around with the commons.css but it's real weird

Like okay, color this, color that, but where does the formatting actually come from

[hazy helm]

If you are up to it translate the Ru wiki into En so ppl stop using the Ru wiki

[finite dragon]

I already did it a bit.

[pseudo rivet]

I've only got the stuff in my head, you've got the sources

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/he-is-the-messiah-monty-gif-19570851

[finite dragon]

I was working with SurDno to actually bring over the functions from the Russian wiki. But all of the code is in Russian. And basically SurDno said to just import it as it is. I said no and called him names.

[hazy helm]

Lmao

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao fr

[finite dragon]

And now Tagaziel, the admin of the wiki, lost trust in me because I disappeared hahahhaha

[hazy helm]

I would help you but my summer is allocated with Unity work

[finite dragon]

Passive aggresively chewed me out on the wiki forums thing hahaha

[pseudo rivet]

We worked for only a really small time on the wiki and I believe most of it got deleted anyways

[hazy helm]

Who are the eng admins anyway

[finite dragon]

English? Yeah, I feel that. That's why I stick to untouched stuff. ARG, builds, that sort of stuff. I once rewrote the Pseudodog article to remove the mentions of spliced DNA which was never referenced in-game and was fanfic. It got reverted the next day.

[hazy helm]

Why and by who?

[pseudo rivet]

Basically, yeah

[finite dragon]

I know Tagaziel who is basically the only seemingly active admin, but mostly on other wikis. Then there is Vector_Sigma who is the community representative, i.e. the guy who is like above the admins and oversees like multiple wikis.

[finite dragon]

I don't remember. It was like 9 months ago

[hazy helm]

Seems like each of them does a shit job lmao

Time do make our own wiki
With blackjack
And hookers

[pseudo rivet]

Oh yeah, Tagaziel

[finite dragon]

No they both do a good job. They both are very easy to talk to and happy to help and adjust the wiki as needed. They are just not focusing only on the stalker wiki.

There isn't much that can be done on the stalker wiki without completely reworking it tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Worst is that it's just fandom and everyone can access it

[finite dragon]

Admins can close off stuff

I hope to get admin once the ball gets rolling on the rework.

[dapper finch]

If anyone wants to start fresh I'm a glutton for bulk edit punishment

[finite dragon]

My only wish right now is to have someone who knows fandom css and js to come help out. Like I know a bit of programming but this crap is actually hurting my brain

It's funny how the english wiki is running on actual spaghetti code

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css

[hazy helm]

ask Mol1t to help you make a GSC affiliated wiki

Proffit

[dapper finch]

Better to get off Fandom ASAP

[pseudo rivet]

Speaking of, I was just about to ping Mol1t for a lore question

[finite dragon]

"temporary hacks" have been there for 12 years

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, I don't think he knows the answer, but it's worth a shot

[gaunt burrow]

Doesn't sound like a bad idea tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but it's never going to happen

[gaunt burrow]

Believe me Billy if I knew about coding and stuff like that I'd be the first one to help but I got no idea about such things

[hazy helm]

I can look at JS and CSS
I am taking uni classes on this

[gaunt burrow]

I can only provide and write dialogues

[pseudo rivet]

Same

[loud gate]

Why are you even less cool now

[pseudo rivet]

We're the Lore Guys™️

[finite dragon]

1. Too much work to port like 1200 pages, by myself
2. Fandom wiki is established
3. Would piss off the admins and they're too nice :(
4. There's a rumor going around that GSC devs are/were using the Zone Chronicles / RU wiki to develop the plot for Stalker 2.

[finite dragon]

I keep insulting Vasim and his legacy :3

[loud gate]

stalker2 wiki exists

[gaunt burrow]

Lmfao

[pseudo rivet]

Certified Arch Anomalies moment

[loud gate]

@worthy lagoon Change him to [BASED]

[hazy helm]

To be completely fair, the Zone Chronicles wiki is pretty well in point

[finite dragon]

No change me to [Oficialy Least Cool] please

[hazy helm]

Aye aye capn

[finite dragon]

I mean like the seperate wiki before it got merged with RU wiki, and afterwards too

[pseudo rivet]

[Oficialy Least Cool] please

Nice name

[finite dragon]

With the misspelled officially

[pseudo rivet]

And your name being changed to "please"

Without a capital P

[hazy helm]

It gives it charm

Billy, I shall crown you Officially Based King
If you make a new wiki

[celest blaze]

4. Seems crazy to me

[pseudo rivet]

Not really, tbh

[celest blaze]

Pretty sure devs know their game better then fans

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, let's just look at the fact that Rock thought Sandman was canon

[finite dragon]

Hm... What if we created a Discord for "le vvikki f ixers" and started coordinating

[celest blaze]

Who's rock ?

[finite dragon]

They already forgot

[celest blaze]

Ngl I wish bethesda devs would take from fans emils writing is shit

[sly cedar]

Bethesda basically is officially fanfic when it comes to TES.

[gaunt burrow]

We might give it a shot actually, why not

[finite dragon]

Endorsement would be good, but what is there to endorse? Need to rewrite to high standards.

[pseudo rivet]

Mfw I keep forgetting Rock's new position in the team

[celest blaze]

@gaunt burrow should be part of the lore team imo

[finite dragon]

You don't have to code stuff, you can just fact check and gather info

[pseudo rivet]

Basically the first "owner" of this server who was active

[hazy helm]

TES lore was made by the community in one forum anyway

Return to roots and all

[gaunt burrow]

I can do that. I can also provide you guys with dialogues if something

[finite dragon]

Wait he was owner? I thought it was Tapik...

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/a-mere-technicality-air-quotes-gif-25068039

Basically the guy who was active around here at that time

[finite dragon]

Rock_4 was the OG Mol1t

[pseudo rivet]

Before Mol1t was McCulkin

Before McCulkin, Rock_4

[finite dragon]

McCulkin and Rock_4 existed at the same time

[pseudo rivet]

McCulkin doesn't like me

[pseudo rivet]

As do McCulkin and Mol1t

[gaunt burrow]

why?

[loud gate]

You will never believe who he was

[finite dragon]

Do something like I do to Mol1t and DM him "I love you, I love your work and have a nice day"

[pseudo rivet]

I was a vocal mod, tbh

[pseudo rivet]

[sly cedar]

Dwayne Johnson?!

[finite dragon]

Mol1t was there in the old days? of like 2018-2019?

[loud gate]

Well, you have Artemida and Mol1t now

[loud gate]

No.

[pseudo rivet]

No, much later

[finite dragon]

See? My point.

[loud gate]

Mol1t has been around since 2022.

[pseudo rivet]

Cringe and based

[finite dragon]

Can't believe this game's development is so long that THERE ARE GENERATIONS OF COMMUNITY MANAGERS

[loud gate]

What is cringe about Artemida

[pseudo rivet]

It do B wat it B

[finite dragon]

Rock_4 was something like a millenial while Mol1t is more of a Gen Z I'd say

[pseudo rivet]

Banning me

It do B wat it B, tbh

[sly cedar]

I looked up the anniversary of the first release date once, and it made me feel 50 years old.

[loud gate]

Incredibly based.

[pseudo rivet]

Certified moment

[loud gate]

So much time passed some CMs aren't even CMs anymore

[pseudo rivet]

Rock, basically

I keep forgetting his new job

[loud gate]

Tapik, for example, recently got promoted to Marketing Designer

[finite dragon]

We've waited so long, we've truly become Shadows of Chornobyl

[pseudo rivet]

Ah yes, Narrative Designer

[finite dragon]

Actually when my dad introduced me to stalker SoC on release day, he was something like 24 and today he is 56. Time flies.

[loud gate]

I think, Pastorazzi and Maxizol also aren't CMs anymore, as they don't even have the GSC role anymore here.

[finite dragon]

Aww Pastorazzi....

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

GSC when new dev interview

[fossil fiber]

Artemida wanted to ban you? Good

[finite dragon]

[pseudo rivet]

Love you too

[gaunt burrow]

why dissing my bro Crimson like that?

[loud gate]

Maybe she should do it again

[pseudo rivet]

He hates me for not liking HoC back in the day

[gaunt burrow]

what did he do?

[fossil fiber]

It has to be done

[loud gate]

Enemy of McCulkin is an enemy of the great STOC State

[hazy helm]

back in the day?you still don like it!

[pseudo rivet]

I do think "Enemy" is relative, to be fair

[finite dragon]

Disappointed to see the lack of people lining up to get stomped by Artemida

[fossil fiber]

This

[pseudo rivet]

I disagree with a few designs, yes

[loud gate]

"I like bad games like SM2" mhmm-mhm

[pseudo rivet]

At least that looked fairly promising

And they showed off actual gameplay pretty early on

Stalker Online

[sly cedar]

It's only been 17 years since then. But it is over a decade since the first speculated release date:
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/stalker-2-eyeing-2012/1100-6273454/

[pseudo rivet]

Wild to think I've been here since Day 1

[loud gate]

Math isn't mathing

[hazy helm]

SMT2 isn't bad
It's P4 that's shit

[loud gate]

What do you have against Persona 4?

[fossil fiber]

You met Jesus?

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, actually. On this server

[finite dragon]

MOZI IT IS CALLED HUMOR

[pseudo rivet]

He's more of a Rebel than you'd think

[hazy helm]

Shit game

[loud gate]

Humor isn't humoring.

[fossil fiber]

Vasim told me yesterday he is Gamma fan now btw

[loud gate]

Go back to playing NLC7 or GAMMA like a noob

[finite dragon]

Would make sense why he's... the way he is right now...

[loud gate]

✨ Nothing New ✨

[pseudo rivet]

Can't wait for the day he's going to tell me "I'M A MISERY FAN NOW"

[hazy helm]

Why don't you play SMT1 like a real man wuss wuss

[fossil fiber]

He probably already is. Just very shy about it

[loud gate]

No bad games to be played by Mozi.

[hazy helm]

Slanderous lies made to blasoheme against my image

I shall sue for damages

[loud gate]

lies

[pseudo rivet]

Bad games? Ask NozAr. Seems to know a lot about them, tbh

[fossil fiber]

It's ok. We don't judge

[broken latch]

No way

[hazy helm]

Shut up Fallout 3 player

[fossil fiber]

Fallout 3 is better than NLC7 though

Fallout 3, my beloved

[hazy helm]

Cope so hard rn

Seethe even

[loud gate]

"cope"

[fossil fiber]

Wdym? You agree?

[hazy helm]

Skill issue
Massive one
Maybe if you stopped turning on that god mode to get all that footage you get+

[hazy helm]

you coping so hard rnh

[fossil fiber]

Fallout 3 is goated and you know it

[elfin echo]

What do i do if i have both regular and army medkits,do i put the army medkits in my personal stash(i'm playing SoC rn)

[loud gate]

What

[hazy helm]

How can it be good
It ain't even got an amnesiac in its plot
We all know all good games have an amnesiac MC

[hazy helm]

Use both as you see fit

[sly cedar]

Army medkits are better, so if you wanna conserve them for later that makes sense. But not dying makes more sense, if you wanna hold onto them.

[loud gate]

@pseudo rivet Why did you ruin my #bots troll

[fossil fiber]

Searching for you father is literally the most immersive story of all time

[pseudo rivet]

Ayo we agree on something? Is this real?

[pseudo rivet]

Didn't realize it was a "troll" and I don't see how either

[hazy helm]

🤌 in my search I found your mother
Now I can be the father figure you always lacked

[fossil fiber]

It's def better than F4

[pseudo rivet]

100% agreed

[loud gate]

Fallout..

[hazy helm]

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

Man, we are, like, brothers or something!

Fallout Tactics lore, my beloved

[elfin echo]

yeah it's just i have a lot of regular ones and they're very commonly found in the wild

[hazy helm]

Yea but FO Tatics is actually fun like

[pseudo rivet]

Fr, the world building is pretty awesome

Even if it doesn't make sense with the older Fallouts, it basically stands on its own, separate from the rest

[sly cedar]

It makes more sense than current Fallout either way.

[celest blaze]

Fallout 3 > new vegas tbh

[pseudo rivet]

True

Tbf, F76 does have an interesting setting, but it was boring, empty and broken. But now that they've added in a ton of actual MMO stuff, well, it's just weird

But I have to say that the Free States are kinda interesting, but extremely underutilized

Reminds me of the Brotherhood Outcast

Interesting, but no platform to even stand on

[sly cedar]

Actual MMO stuff my foot. It's worse than the oldest WoW world bosses. Most of the "content" is just fast-travelling and shooting stuff like always, but next to more people than on average.

[pseudo rivet]

Basically

[sly cedar]

Fortnite is a better MMO than FO76.

[pseudo rivet]

I really don't like that it's basically "You NEED to have this armor and this type of build. You NEED the meta."

Like, what's the point of all the other armor sets if there's clearly just one or perhaps two types that are straight up better than the rest

[sly cedar]

That's the neat part, there isn't a point to anything!

At least, not since they dropped the PvP focus because they can't stop bug abuse.

[pseudo rivet]

I don't see how that's the neat part, but yeah, there's no point to anything

And you can't even make your own server without paying money, nor do you have a server list

[dim topaz]

IMO Fallout has been bastardised so much that no matter how much they add to games like 76 it will never get old fans to play it.

[pseudo rivet]

True asf

Or, at least, they're two entirely different entities

[dim topaz]

Van Buren when

[sly cedar]

I feel like old fans will never be satisfied even if the game is good, because it's an entirely different thing. Imagine if Stalker 2 came out and it was an isometric RPG.

[dim topaz]

Idk, I loved New Vegas, and even 3 to an extent. 4 and 76 just.. no

[celest blaze]

Thats not a fair comparison 76 aint bad

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, only thing 4 has going for itself are the factions and those are kinda... well, let's just call them "unfinished concepts"

[celest blaze]

each fallout game is good in its own way

[dim topaz]

like most things modern bethesda

[pseudo rivet]

Basically

[celest blaze]

isometric is based just zoomers dont like them

[pseudo rivet]

I still see every Fallout game as it's own separate canon

[pseudo rivet]

Tbf, I think NV would've been better that way

[celest blaze]

same honestly

[pseudo rivet]

Although F3 as a FPS works

[celest blaze]

ngl i wish fallout stayed iso

[pseudo rivet]

Because the map actually isn't boring unlike NV

[finite dragon]

Guys
How does stalker do with windows 11

[celest blaze]

does great

[pseudo rivet]

Should work just normally

[celest blaze]

your specs matter more then op system

[finite dragon]

Even anomaly and heavey modded stuff?

[celest blaze]

thats hardware dependent

[finite dragon]

Can I anomaly with macintosh?

[finite dragon]

I'm upgrading to i3-12100 and GTX 1660 ti

[dim topaz]

I played both the originals and gamma on win 11, basically no issues, barely any crashes

[celest blaze]

idk i use apple products

[pseudo rivet]

To be fair, why play mods when you can play Vanilla?

[sly cedar]

Technically, maybe, but it's going to be a pain.

[finite dragon]

Because I actually like having fun

[pseudo rivet]

So yeah, Vanilla

[celest blaze]

goofy take

[dim topaz]

[celest blaze]

i did the trilogy vanilla just fine

[finite dragon]

Weirdos

[celest blaze]

it sounds like if you NEED mods stalker aint for you

[pseudo rivet]

Welcome to STOC

[sly cedar]

Vanilla is generally fine. I'd just recommend using bug fixes from stuff like ZRP for SoC and SRP for CS. I didn't have any issues running CoP with no changes.

[finite dragon]

Gunslinger is so fun

[pseudo rivet]

Too bad it takes all the upgrades and stuff away

[celest blaze]

i liked the upgrade system tbh

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER Official Community

[loud gate]

I agreeeeeeeee

[pseudo rivet]

S.T. because the OG website shortens STALKER to S.T.

STOC

[celest blaze]

STOC

[pseudo rivet]

If you don't like the name, you can blame me for that

[finite dragon]

What does stoc stand for

[gaunt burrow]

"Help me Stepbro, I'm STOC"

[pseudo rivet]

Mfw legit said that here

[celest blaze]

[finite dragon]

LoL

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Ohhh

[dim topaz]

And that's why you advocate for STOCk STALKER?

[pseudo rivet]

Anything better than cock STALKER, tbh

[dim topaz]

how about CoC Stalker

[pseudo rivet]

Empty and boring

And enemies are bulletsponge-y as hell

[sly cedar]

What mod is that, so I can make sure to stay away from it?

[elfin echo]

Looks like duty is shooting at me on sight,i just went to the checkpoint of the bar guarded by duty members and they openly fired on me

[gaunt burrow]

[pseudo rivet]

Either Anomaly or GAMMA, I forgot

[gaunt burrow]

yes bro, shooting and killing everyone has negative consequences

[celest blaze]

Call of the zone > call of chernobyl

[dim topaz]

It's called Goldpshere

[elfin echo]

I did a mission where you had to kill the master stalker,and there were a lot of duty and freedom guys in the army warehouses

[sand fiber]

I WILL GROK YOU

[elfin echo]

What do i do now

[pseudo rivet]

Wait, consequences of actions are real? Why did they add that in the game? They're not even real in real life

[celest blaze]

Fr

[sly cedar]

Darn, I heard Goldsphere is good, I was going to play that after CS.

[sand fiber]

do play it

[celest blaze]

Goldsphere is great

[gaunt burrow]

so both Freedom and Duty are hostile to you? sounds wacky ngl

[sand fiber]

@granite mortar convince them that goldsphere is good

[pseudo rivet]

Sorry to hear bro, you probably want to try Misery instead

[dim topaz]

Fite me guv

[celest blaze]

Bros on monolith difficulty

[gaunt burrow]

if whole facitons are hostile only way you can make them neutral again is by reloading previous saves (if you have those)

[elfin echo]

only duty it seems,haven't killed enough freedom

[gaunt burrow]

otherwise it can't be fixed

[sly cedar]

🤢

[elfin echo]

yeah about that,my save scumming only has the latest save

[dim topaz]

Misery pog

[pseudo rivet]

Or just accept the consequences of your actions and bear the burden of your actions

[gaunt burrow]

Ok whole Duty is hostile to you? thats bad because Rostok is strategic location

from there you can go to Garbage, Wild Territory or Army Warehouses. and getting shot everytime you are at Rostok doesn't seem like a good perspective

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, to be fair, it's on him for being a dummy and killing them

[indigo marsh]

I wish there was a stalker game where there was consequences for murder but you can still commit mass murder.😔

[gaunt burrow]

riperino

[pseudo rivet]

SoC and CS

[elfin echo]

looks like i have to kill everyone

[gaunt burrow]

I mean, you can wipe out whole Rostok but that takes too much time. and besides you'll have to do it all the time

simply not beneficial in a long run

[pseudo rivet]

In CoP, with everyone being Neutral, it's so boring

[indigo marsh]

Only in Peak Sky can you do it without major consequences(as long as you finish yantar missions)

[gaunt burrow]

real

[still ridge]

Yeah that’s why you have to make enemies with the bandits

[indigo marsh]

Does misery fix this?

[elfin echo]

No worries guys,i'll get by

i'll just kill all of them

[still ridge]

You fix it yourself by killing bandits

And you still have monolit and mercs

[pseudo rivet]

Which isn't even possible. Only Freedom or Duty can be turned into enemies and they become Neutral if you do the Mutant Hunting quests

[still ridge]

my game must be bugged out every time I do a new play through then

[gaunt burrow]

I believe that factions in CoP won't be fully hostile towards you no matter how many of their members you kill

[pseudo rivet]

Dunno about "fixing" it, but I don't know the answer either way

[pseudo rivet]

Nope, Freedom and Duty are the exception

[gaunt burrow]

aha

how can 1 even turn Duty or Freedom hostile?

[dim topaz]

It fits with the theme of CoP, which is F.R.I.E.N.D.S.H.I.P

[gaunt burrow]

never happened to me tbh

[dim topaz]

the real zone is all the friends we made along the way

[still ridge]

The quest with the armory

if you help either of them the other will become hostile

[pseudo rivet]

Ez, kill them, for example, at the Warehouse and become a Friend. Never complete any of Trapper's missions

[gaunt burrow]

you mean quest related to Tachenko's PDA?

[still ridge]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

Morgan

[gaunt burrow]

I always sell tachenko's PDA to Owl to get "A man of balance" achievement

[still ridge]

Morgan yeah

[gaunt burrow]

His PDA I also sell to Owl

[still ridge]

GRAHHHH when will there be more material for me GSC

PLEASE

[pseudo rivet]

Bro legit goes for Man of Balance

[gaunt burrow]

I do

[worn oar]

That works too lol

[pseudo rivet]

Friend of Freedom/Duty, my beloved

Duty wack tho

[gaunt burrow]

A Man of Balance, my beloved

[still ridge]

Who do you think will be more wack crimson, Ward or Noon

[pseudo rivet]

Like, why even? You have access to less equipment and you're locked out on the PSS-2x

[worn oar]

That was my choice too

[pseudo rivet]

Ward

[worn oar]

Ward duh

[still ridge]

Strider my beloved

[gaunt burrow]

🤝

[still ridge]

noon will be so cool

[pseudo rivet]

We'll see

[gaunt burrow]

eh, not really a big issue for me. Fully upgraded Exo, and guns such as GP37, Strelok's SGI etc is all I need

[still ridge]

Man the intro seems pretty sweet https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nYA39J08BQ8&pp=ygUac3RhbGtlciAyIHN1bW1lciBnYW1lIGZlc3Q%3D

[pseudo rivet]

Tbf, I never really run the Exoskeleton

[granite mortar]

Did someone sa Goldsphere?

[pseudo rivet]

What's even the point of the Energy Recovery upgrade instead of enabling Sprinting?

[worn oar]

We don't know much yet, but you can clearly see their position.
On the other hand, the Ward is quite tyrannical? It's also quite connected to SIRCAA yk? That speaks much

[granite mortar]

I would say what I think but Wolf would beat my ass...

[gaunt burrow]

Yeah I never upgrade energy recovery tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Like, I've got an idea why, but still

[gaunt burrow]

To have a choice of what to upgrade, I guess

[pseudo rivet]

Like, it's not like you can reduce it by sprinting

And jumping isn't faster

And Burers drop your stamina either way

[dim topaz]

it's just so goofy man it's like Pathologic, Ring and Stalker had a dumpster baby

[pseudo rivet]

But I suppose the Energy Recovery can help against that

[granite mortar]

Thats the point retard
Its meant to be weird

[still ridge]

Noon is cooler by default because strider is the leader

[granite mortar]

Thats what makes it stand out

[gaunt burrow]

1 snowflake and 1 shell usually are enough for me

[sand fiber]

so, the best thing ever conceived by humankind?

[elfin echo]

I find it funny that no one in the bar cares that i just murdered several people a few moments ago

[gaunt burrow]

i had 2 snowflakes in my previous playthrough

[dim topaz]

No you see it's only retarded ironically, therefore it's good

[worn oar]

agreed

[gaunt burrow]

real

Ward sounds wacky so far

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Ward just a potentially less cringy Duty who's probably going to be a bigger pain either way

[dim topaz]

I wish we had more SGF footage like this

[loud gate]

[worn oar]

Fun fact? Duty doesn't like ward.

[granite mortar]

Its not retarded
The Zone was made to look and be weirr because its nit the same Zone as in the trilogy
If you werent retarded and could connect 2 dots together you would know that
But you throw crap at the mod without even finishing it doofus

[raven grove]

Duty only likes Duty, the asshats

[loud gate]

I can confirm

[pseudo rivet]

It do B wat it B. I mean, Ward literally took over Duty's job

[still ridge]

You mean more cringy duty

[hazy helm]

I don't think ward wants to destroy the zone

[worn oar]

Not really

[loud gate]

Ward percieves to protect and study the Zone

[elfin echo]

Will people respawn in the bar?

[hazy helm]

What we know about ward seems to indicate a diff relationship with the zone

[loud gate]

They literally protect the SIRCAA

[worn oar]

Ward is a lapdog for SIRCAA and SIRCAA wants to control the zone

[granite mortar]

Ward protects the Zone from people
Duty protects people from the Zone

[pseudo rivet]

To act as the Zone's police, I mean

[loud gate]

I think they have common interests, sir

[dim topaz]

If you weren't autistic you could maybe comprehend that you don't need to finish something to know that it's not for you. You sound like one of those people who go "watch one piece it gets so good by episode 400"

[hazy helm]

Wdym,Freedom policies their own territories does that make them obsolete because of Ward

[granite mortar]

Not being for you ≠ being retarded crap

[hazy helm]

Every faction protects their own territory

[worn oar]

The ARG document kinda suggests that they are not in good terms with anyone altogether.

Free stalkers call them tyrants

[pseudo rivet]

Duty's words, not mine

[dim topaz]

Okay, very good, baby steps. Now try applying the same logic to other mods when addressing them 🙂

[sand fiber]

it's autistic
it's weird
how the fuсk is this supposed to be a bad thing 😭

[loud gate]

One of their tasks is to protect the Institute lol

[dim topaz]

It's not, not inherently. But it's not what stalker is for me.

[gaunt burrow]

Freedom doesn't tells people what to do tho. Duty does (Loners in Clear Sky even have dialogue where they complain about Duty) #📸┃screens_and_videos

[loud gate]

They are def. in some kind good "terms" if they do that.

[worn oar]

Wrong! Especially after operation zenith

We'll know more soon

[gaunt burrow]

Freedom is definitely more tolerant than Duty

[hazy helm]

In SoC Freedom policies not just against factions that are enemies with them but also against stalkers who do not align with their own views
See the murder missions freedom gives

[loud gate]

Oh really

[granite mortar]

I do
Whenever I talk about mods I try to adress the issues and the good stuff too
I dont go like you and say "muh it retarded" and when I am asked why I think about the mod in way I do I have no problem explaining it
You just repeat few random slurs again and again

[elfin echo]

So i won all arena fights

[dim topaz]

actually you're the one who used the word retarded first lol I just said it's goofy

[loud gate]

Again, why would Ward, an army formed out of mercenaries and military men, have interest and protect the SIRCAA, if they weren't on some "terms" at the very least.

[gaunt burrow]

Lukash only gives you like few assasination quests of stalkers. first assasination quest where you have to neutralize a stalker is because that stalker show one of the Freedomers

[granite mortar]

I called you retard because you acted like one :3

[still ridge]

If you guys don’t make up and kiss I’m going to kick you both

[gaunt burrow]

"There's a fellow who's walking around not far from here. He shot one of ours down once. And something like that can't be forgiven. Will you take the job? We'll pay, don't worry."

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom protecting mutants makes sense
Freedom protecting people from going to the Barrier makes sense
Freedom hating Military makes sense as well

[gaunt burrow]

Second quest about Scarecrow, well Scarecrow was already WARNED

[still ridge]

Just kidding… unless?

[still ridge]

Freedom protecting mutants

[hazy helm]

Many stories and interactions with freedomers show that they do police who is in their territory thru their own rules

[gaunt burrow]

"There's a group of stalkers, they live at the Agroprom. Average guys, they understand that the Zone is a place of freedom, that laws don't apply here and you just have to live right, based on your own morals. And now they're thinking about maybe joining us. Yeah, help them fight off the bandits? And we'll send you some ammo." - Protect the stalkers at Agroprom

[cyan canopy]

Booty and Freedumb

[still ridge]

Real

[dim topaz]

okay let's backtrack a bit. remember when you said "Not being for you ≠ being retarded" try using that heeere, yes?

I know you can do it you're so close

[gaunt burrow]

Mozi said "stalkers who do not align with their own views" meanwhile both of Lukash's sidequests about assasination of that neutral stalker and scarecrow was absolutely justifiable

[worn oar]

Do you want to kick some duty ass? Join freedom

[naive fog]

It sometimes does = retarded tho

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

1 stalker literally wounded Freedomer. it was an act of retaliation

[indigo marsh]

There are more stalkers inside the duty base then the freedom base

[gaunt burrow]

Scarecrow was also warned

[loud gate]

when did Mozi say that

[cyan canopy]

Is there way how to recruit Strider? i mean getting man of balance and Friend of Freedom in same time?

[gaunt burrow]

ffs

[hazy helm]

My point is that both Duty and Freedom police their one territories thru their own rules, Freedom may be more lax but it's not like they are a lawless bunch, they still are a cohesive group with tenets

[gaunt burrow]

you guys both have the same pic lmfao. I mistook you for Mozi, Vasim

[hazy helm]

Hahahaha

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

sorry man @loud gate

[still ridge]

I think you do some other tasks

[hazy helm]

[loud gate]

It helps our names are both highlighted in a similar colour

[pseudo rivet]

But yeah, I do think Ward will be worse police than Duty

As in, MUCH more annoying

[naive fog]

Ye

[cyan canopy]

I bet it will

[naive fog]

But will the edgy 12 year olds move on tho

[hazy helm]

we should give you Admin so that our disguise is complete

[gaunt burrow]

seriously man this is getting confusing sometimes LOL

[still ridge]

Me on my way to help korshunov with literally one quest before shooting them on sight

[indigo marsh]

Ward is a police faction tho so it makes sense

[still ridge]

Even if you don’t help them they’ll probably become enemies with you at a certain point anyway

[pseudo rivet]

Both are

[cyan canopy]

I guess this would be named SIRCAA

[still ridge]

Debatable

[indigo marsh]

Duty is more like the military but less corrupt and actually functional

[loud gate]

no

[cyan canopy]

Lets hope Grandpa Sakharov are okay 🙏

[loud gate]

[still ridge]

ward will probably be more incompetent than duty despite being funded by SIRCAA

[pseudo rivet]

Still cops

[indigo marsh]

I agree(not really)

Freedom , duty , and ward are all cops

[naive fog]

Duty and military should be chill cause they're practically the same except duty does something and they're better people

Like ye I get they're deserters but still they should be chill

[loud gate]

Where did you get that from lmao

[naive fog]

And stalkers*

[indigo marsh]

Currently (as of the trilogy) most of duty are stalkers

[still ridge]

That they’ll be incompetent?

[naive fog]

Ye

[pseudo rivet]

Most of the current Dutyers are former Stalkers, so no

[naive fog]

Ye Ik I did add that

[loud gate]

That they're funded by SIRCAA, the incompetent part I understood is a guess

[naive fog]

Still should be chill tho

[loud gate]

A wrong one

[dim topaz]

Wait I'm so confused, is he talking about Batman during the stalker footage lmao, "press Y to dodge" I was like wtf

[gaunt burrow]

Next time I'll mistook @hazy helm as @loud gate

[still ridge]

Yes he’s talking about a different game

Someone is just playing it in the background

[cyan canopy]

Living copy irl

[pseudo rivet]

It isn't directly said that they're funded (To my knowledge), but their goal IS to protect SIRCAA's discoveries

[loud gate]

Is that the same thing now?

[pseudo rivet]

No

[still ridge]

sponsored would be a better word

[pseudo rivet]

But the connection Edillon made is understandable

[still ridge]

if they’re SIRCAA bootlickers it would make sense that they’re paid to do it no?

[pseudo rivet]

@loud gate and @hazy helm are the new PDK of STOC

[hazy helm]

Fr

Send me the PFP

[loud gate]

Well, there's no mention that they're being paid by the SIRCAA

[still ridge]

It’s not a big leap

[loud gate]

It COULD be the case, but not known for now

[still ridge]

mmm it was revealed to me in a dream

[pseudo rivet]

Wait, PDK? But I thought y'all mfs Professor Gosling asf

[loud gate]

[hazy helm]

I was gonna change PFP tonight, go back to old fang

[pseudo rivet]

I need Freedomer Gosling

Can i join freedom in this game?

I am not denying, good sir. I am just saying there's no confirmation

[pseudo rivet]

Tbf, I was thinking of changing back to a STALKER profile

[hazy helm]

In CS yes
Not I'm SoC nor CoP

Where did you guys get the Professor Gosling pics from tho?

[celest blaze]

if stalker 2 does great GSC should make a movie with gosling as protag

[naive fog]

A proper stalker series would be awesome

[indigo marsh]

Probably nifty_yt
The first part atleast

[worn oar]

Lapdogs as I said

[naive fog]

Kinda like Ołowiany Świt

[loud gate]

I need someone to gib me that merc one, STOC, help.

[loud gate]

They have the weapons though

[pseudo rivet]

Sauce?

It's the best one ngl

[loud gate]

Good question

[worn oar]

Hummmmm they are mercs technically

[celest blaze]

[loud gate]

Welp, the faction is composed out of old mercs and military afaik

[still ridge]

[naive fog]

[still ridge]

[naive fog]

Damn that's good

[worn oar]

Shitt! I'll make you one mozi

[loud gate]

[naive fog]

[worn oar]

Yeah! Arsenal is not one of their worries lol

[pseudo rivet]

Yup, Freedom one looks like ass as an avatar

Welp, back to the classics then

[elfin echo]

Yo i just found a wind of freedom suit

[naive fog]

Niice

[loud gate]

Makes it better

[naive fog]

Men, I need to ask, do I have permission to join the Ryan Gosling gang because my pfp needs an update

[worn oar]

Give him the freedom gosling

[pseudo rivet]

It do B wat it B

[naive fog]

Or am I just a lil experienced bro

[worn oar]

New pfp huh? That's a rare sight

[elfin echo]

Oh yeah,what happens if you kill all the duty guys at the farmstead then do the mission with max

[worn oar]

Join our small gang crimson

[naive fog]

I'll take that as a no

[pseudo rivet]

Only if there's a good Freedom Gosling

[still ridge]

Good material in here

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DMtZwuP4v-s

[naive fog]

[gaunt burrow]

[celest blaze]

[naive fog]

#💬┃en_offtop message

[gaunt burrow]

no?

[worn oar]

Which one is your favorite?

[elfin echo]

something is wrong with the mission

[gaunt burrow]

feel free to put it

[worn oar]

Choose your faction

[naive fog]

Wait a sec lemme think

[elfin echo]

idk why but it seems that me prematurely killing the duty guys at the farmstead has done something

[gaunt burrow]

that "Destroy the Duty company" squad is bugged sometimes

[elfin echo]

oh,so me killing them before the mission has nothing to do with it?

[indigo marsh]

Can mods change a server profile PFP? or is it only nicknames

[naive fog]

Bandit, military or clear sky are all good

[gaunt burrow]

not exactly. I mean if you take that quest from Lukash and then kill literally all of Skulls Dutyers and Skull himself then it still might be bugged

[elfin echo]

merc or freedom

[gaunt burrow]

Typical SoC moment

[elfin echo]

damn

[sly cedar]

No, but they can ban you if you don't comply.

[celest blaze]

[pseudo rivet]

[naive fog]

[worn oar]

I'll make you one later then! The ones that mozi had are zombified, freedom, and scientist

[naive fog]

[worn oar]

I still wonder how you managed to reach masters that fast, brotherman. It's a real feat one is not capable of accomplishing that easily

[worn oar]

True

I too got used to you with it

[finite dragon]

What's it with people using my face as their pfp

[naive fog]

Just replace the head

[dim topaz]

[finite dragon]

No I mean my face

[gaunt burrow]

I like chatting here a lot

[worn oar]

@loud gate look what you've done

[gaunt burrow]

[pseudo rivet]

You're acting as if you're literally me

[finite dragon]

The identity theft is real

[naive fog]

Now all that's left is to make a separate cult server

Cult meetings and shit

[worn oar]

[naive fog]

We need a new channel

[pseudo rivet]

I'm more of a Collector's Professional Killstreak Ullapool Caber enjoyer

[naive fog]

Pls ping me if you do cause my brain is not working today

[worn oar]

Fish memory, but sure, I'll do if I remembered

[naive fog]

[indigo marsh]

[naive fog]

If need be y'all can infect my server that I got goin on

[worn oar]

[indigo marsh]

No bulat

[worn oar]

Ahh, add it to the list if you found it #📸┃screens_and_videos

[worn oar]

You know the drill

I was going to say something, but fuck... fish memory kicked in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BKHq7v7bWI this is a monolith gosling vid

[solid dome]

Mans going nutters with them gifs

[quartz snow]

My question is - is there a wiki community for EN Stalker wiki editors? Somewhere where people can work together

[hazy helm]

there isn't, but you can hijack this channel

[solid dome]

@loud gate may know sheit as well, come in moziman

[hazy helm]

hey

[solid dome]

[hazy helm]

arent you the guy that keeps posting NLC7 in twitter?

[quartz snow]

I asked him, he doesnt. He is busy dying to the Soldier of God (Rick) in Elden Ring

[solid dome]

He posts NLC7 propaganda?

[loud gate]

[quartz snow]

I post a lot of stuff ;d and its bad . But yes, Clear Sky and NLC7 propaganda

[hazy helm]

Gawdam

[hazy helm]

keep going brother

[solid dome]

NLC7 superiority!

[solid dome]

Bruh....

[quartz snow]

@finite dragon Yo

[solid dome]

You know BIlly? Really?

The Zone really is expanding, ain't gonna lie

[quartz snow]

Yeah

Well we can hijack here to make the Wiki better

It s decent right now but we can improve it. Problem is I am terrible at the technical Wiki stuff (infoboxes for example). I need to learn

[finite dragon]

Infoboxes are EZ, I want to revamp the entire .css

But that's my own project.

[quartz snow]

What do you want to change specifically?

I probably cant help, but asking.

[solid dome]

Which one you refer? STALKER Wiki?

[quartz snow]

Yes. The EN wiki.

[solid dome]

Haven't checked it out in months

[solid dome]

Man of culture

[finite dragon]

A few things. First off, the general look, make the background a bit neater than just the SoC art slapped behind the box. Make the color darker. Rework mobile so it's also a bit neater, something like the Wikipedia app with collapsible sections (everything is possible). That's the first part
