it's a bandit leader, what do you expect?

The only reason Yoga gives a good gun is BC is a

[loud gate]

The way he says it makes it sound cooler

[gaunt burrow]

I mean, so are Borov and Sultan but there are no dialogues of them murdering puppies or them being a direct reason of their subordinates death

[indigo marsh]

But that's still not money tho but it's a sick shooter so I'll take it

[old jungle]

because they have very little lore, but I'm sure they also do such things

you can't become the leader of bandits without being pretty bad

[loud gate]

I can't wait to see how Sultan is doing, now that the Skadovsk is of the Bandits.

[gaunt burrow]

yes but Borov wouldn't be dumb enough to repeat Yoga's mistakes tbh

[nimble cipher]

spartan_mozi has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gaunt burrow]

he at least would be "nicer" to his subordinates

Scar did most of the work tho, even Lebedev admitted it

"Glad to see you, merc. We've done the impossible - we fought our way into the very center of the Zone, to the power plant, and mostly thanks to you."

even Clear Sky members themselves said that they aren't fighters

Hello. Normally I don't preorder games, but this time I NEED to do it, but I'm late to the party
I hope we get some update regarding preorders soon

[granite mortar]

preorders are only unavailable in US

thats long term problem by now

[viscid blade]

But in Europe?

[granite mortar]

or at least here in Czechia they are readily available

[viscid blade]

I couldn't get it on my country (Spain). The only website were they sell it says "reserves exhausted"

I guess I will have to wait....

[gaunt burrow]

don't worry, 5th September is the final release date anyways

less than 2 months left

[viscid blade]

Yes, but I want a physical edition. Sorry, I didn't mention that 😄

[worn oar]

You didn't get the likey part right

[worn oar]

[viscid blade]

[abstract obsidian]

Also want to pre-order the physical edition and the digital version for the extra story content.. about a month and a half away and no ability to pre-order or even a listing on the Xbox store has me anxious..

I wanted the Limited Edition to put that poster on the wall of my gaming room. I'm sad

[worn oar]

All pre-order bonuses and extra content are included in the physical edition.

Lmfao, I've seen two crybabies crying about the black character in S2 saying it will ruin the immersion @worn oar @gaunt burrow

Facebook is worse when it comes to BS

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah

They just mad he isnt merc
Because we all know black people can only be mercs

[indigo marsh]

I am surprised there is a stalker community on Facebook

[worthy lagoon]

They often have less brain cells than a corpse

[indigo marsh]

So real

[gaunt burrow]

I honestly think that this black guy being last or one of the last survivors of that UN expedition Hog mentioned would be pretty nice plot

because we never got confirmation that everyone from that expedition died

I finished shadow of chornobyl but now I have to 100% the achievements

reminds me of these people who cry about new movies swapping races of old ones

honestly if someone cares about something like that then i see them as racist

like i dont mind the character being race swapped or lgbtq as long as its well written

[worn oar]

The 100rads bar there used to be a good place tbh

It all went to $hit in there past years for some reason (wink)

[indigo marsh]

Isn't there a 100 rads on discord also?

[gaunt burrow]

there is

[indigo marsh]

And what caused it to go to shit?

[finite dragon]

like who agrees with me on this one

[worn oar]

Yeah!

[gaunt burrow]

not everything has to be about race or sexual orientation

[finite dragon]

yeah but nowadays you have people who cry about new movies race swapping main characters from old novies

[gaunt burrow]

they can cry all they want

their fault for focusing on such nonsense too much

[finite dragon]

it also makes them racist imo ngl

[nova wedge]

I had never seen adult men so suddenly passionate about the little mermaid when they announced the live action one

I can say for sure if the guy had Merc patch on his sleeve none of these idiots would bet an eye

[prisma goblet]

Omgggg homosexuality in an environment mostly composed of lonely men?!!!! 😱

[fluid abyss]

What is that supposed to mean 🤨

[gaunt burrow]

tbh I don't think that stalkers are homosexuals

[finite dragon]

RAAAAAAAGH RACISM ACTIVATED

[gaunt burrow]

I mean they do mention their wife in dialogue

and its also mentioned that GF of Freedomer Serega gave him a Guitar

[fluid abyss]

Better than using a Flesh light

[finite dragon]

i received my acoustic guitar from my mom

[gaunt burrow]

wholesome

[indigo marsh]

If this is true then why am I Monolith ?

[worn oar]

Zombified *

[gaunt burrow]

I mean, Monolith do be gay as hell too

[indigo marsh]

There is no zombified faction in STOC

[gaunt burrow]

most of the femboys I've seen here have/had Monolith role

[granite mortar]

Because it isnt faction

[indigo marsh]

The difference between zombified and Monolith is if you need to cook the brain before eating it or not

[worn oar]

Yeah but if you know you know

[granite mortar]

Brain of Cthulhu?

[worn oar]

Faulty products

[indigo marsh]

Mol1t is Monolith

[worn oar]

Felony

[granite mortar]

Mol1tis gods of zona

[finite dragon]

bit of years of improvement and i also got into electric guitar

[indigo marsh]

And he is a renegade too

So that doubles the chances

[granite mortar]

renegadis gods of zona

[gaunt burrow]

I didn't mean that all Monolithians are femboys, I meant that most of femboys I've seen here are Monolith

[indigo marsh]

[gaunt burrow]

and I say this unironically. too much gay-ness from Monolith faction

[indigo marsh]

[indigo marsh]

What about noon

[gaunt burrow]

what about it?

[loud gate]

[granite mortar]

Unfaultied products

[finite dragon]

even tho i never took any nicotine in my life

[gaunt burrow]

one of the examples

so yeah, I wasn't joking about that

[prisma goblet]

Noon is gay, real men follow Faust

[indigo marsh]

I might join noon if it becomes a faction in STOC

[prisma goblet]

[worn oar]

It will

[finite dragon]

ill stay a freedomer

[prisma goblet]

I hope that Faust will not be just a fanatic and that he will have good arguments. Stalker is not stalker if you can easily choose which faction is right

[indigo marsh]

I am joining bc Strider is so handsome

/ j

[gaunt burrow]

[finite dragon]

yeah literally all of the 9 factions seems to be right in their own mindset but nobody is right or wrong

thus this is what i like about factions in stalker

[worn oar]

Hand some

[indigo marsh]

Hand few

[finite dragon]

i can hand you some crepes i cooked yesterday in my fridge if you want

[worn oar]

Yes, I wouldn't say no to that

[prisma goblet]

Faust trailer when ?

[loud gate]

This

[gaunt burrow]

Faust seems like interesting character ngl

he has potential

[worn oar]

Mozi summoned

No ping needed

[loud gate]

did you see today's video with Oleksandr Laptiy ?

[pseudo rivet]

Stranger/Spoiler Trailer when?

[gaunt burrow]

not yet tbh

[loud gate]

Watch. Now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYnHmyf3H6A

I'm pretty sure he plays Faust too

[gaunt burrow]

maaan that beep at 2:09

[loud gate]

When he went NDA he seemed so happy

[gaunt burrow]

"The duty of a citizen is to defend the independence and territorial integrity" based

fully agree with him

[loud gate]

I find it most intrguing when he mentions all the dialogue possibilities and what the character he played may do in a situation based on them

[gaunt burrow]

i just saw that part

pretty interesting indeed

[old jungle]

the storyline is going going to be crazy

[tropic summit]

Hey guys, any tips for Clear Sky? The bleeding mechanic has me dumbfounded

[old jungle]

No, in an interview GSC said there will be 4 endings.

[gaunt burrow]

add kevlar to your armor. even if you have a leather jacket

[old jungle]

Take your time and explore to find better gear

[gaunt burrow]

and later in the game look for artifacts that prevent bleeding

[old jungle]

When they were at a game event in China

[gaunt burrow]

those aren't available in the beginning

[tropic summit]

Thank you guys!

[old jungle]

I think it's probably only 4 outcomes for the main story, but there will be many more possibilities for secondary questlines a bit like in CoP

[finite dragon]

ignore anomalous glitch the game to get 31 knives from suslov then sell it to suslov to get money early game

[old jungle]

[finite dragon]

glitch the guides to get your money to negative then get mugged in garage to have more money than glitching suslov

[gaunt burrow]

I hope S2 won't have ending slides like CoP tbh

because you have to guess which slides will be canonical ones

[sand fiber]

i hope it does

[gaunt burrow]

and even now we don't know canonicity of many CoP ending slides

[sand fiber]

ending slides are the best, makes your every choice impactful

[gaunt burrow]

yes but what's the point if there is minimal info about canonicity of like 95% of slides?

[sand fiber]

yeah because there was no sequel
we didn't know what SoC ending was canon until CoP came out

[sand fiber]

who cares about canonicity of anything??

[gaunt burrow]

I do

[old jungle]

I'm really not sure.

[sand fiber]

stop then

[gaunt burrow]

[old jungle]

Probably we will never know, you gotta let it go Matt.

[sand fiber]

you can choose the canon to be anything, it's all up to you, the only difference ending slides make is give developers more leeway on future franchise entries

[grave socket]

How do I buy and sell my items in stalker shadow of Chernobyl?

[old jungle]

Use the trade menu with an NPC

[sand fiber]

go to Sidorovich and Barman

[gaunt burrow]

yes thats the issue. why did I spent so much time getting all the good ending slides in CoP if S2 likely won't reveal canonicity of them?

[grave socket]

Where are they?

[sand fiber]

there are also two traders in Duty and Freedom

[gaunt burrow]

whats the point then?

[sand fiber]

Sidorovich is where you spawn at, Barman is at Bar

[gaunt burrow]

I could just get bad slides and it wouldn't matter anyways

[grave socket]

Thanks

[gaunt burrow]

payoff is only in CoP, and this isn't satisfying

[old jungle]

There is no point, it's a video game. The more I think about it the more I believe S.T.A.L.K.E.R. canon does not really exist.

[sand fiber]

do you really need a developer to tell you "This is what happens!" for the story to feel satisfying

[gaunt burrow]

I expect developers to understand such nuances and understand the fact that such things matter

[sly viper]

technically thats how canoninity works, no?

[gaunt burrow]

at least to some

[gloomy knoll]

@gaunt burrow ever played fallout new Vegas?

[gaunt burrow]

nope

[sand fiber]

you choose things in the story, and in the end there is a grand conclusion of everything you've done, it is the objective best way to make an ending in an RPG

[gloomy knoll]

They have slides there too. And you don't need anything canonical because its YOUR choice. It makes each ending different

[sly viper]

an RPG with no connected sequel stories as an isolated experience sure

[grave socket]

My only options with barkeep is I want to know something I need a job and see you! I wanna sell my stufff

[sand fiber]

the button at the bottom of the screen

that says Trade

[grave socket]

Oh my gosh thank you so much I am 58 pounds

[gaunt burrow]

just because its your choice doesn't mean that devs should completely give up on majority of ending slides. there gotta be some conclusion or at least some insights

otherwise it feels lazy

[sand fiber]

the ending slide is the conclusion

what are you talking about

[gaunt burrow]

yes, and we don't know which conclusion is canonical one

[gloomy knoll]

Is it lazy to give the option for x hundreds of different endings?

[gaunt burrow]

because there are tons of ending slides

[gloomy knoll]

That sounds like the contrary to lazy

[gaunt burrow]

i'm not arguing about number of slides, your choices etc etc. I just want to see the actual canonicity of slides

[sand fiber]

because in no way does it matter?? canonicity is decided in the next entry, that's how RPGs worked for the past forever

[gaunt burrow]

rn we can have our headcanons, but some conclusion will be better imo

[sand fiber]

no??

[prisma goblet]

Every endings are cannon because there was a dragon break caused by the activation of the Numidium, different realities overlapped at the same time

[gaunt burrow]

well it doesn't matters for you ok, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person who wants to see the conclusion

like, we already know that SIRCAA is a thing meaning that good ending slide of Strelok is canon

Striders good slide too

[gloomy knoll]

Well

[gaunt burrow]

more insights like this would be good

[gloomy knoll]

We dont know which good slide still

[gaunt burrow]

to understand what actually happened after CoP

instead of just guessing everything

[gloomy knoll]

To me that makes the most fun in RPG's. Not having everything fed to you but you actually having to think about it yourself

[sand fiber]

you don't need to "understand what actually happened", because that is decided by you and how you play the game, and later by the next game in the series

[gloomy knoll]

Mass effect doesnt have a really canon thing either besides the main story

[gaunt burrow]

I respect your opinions but I still stand by mine

I would like an actual closure

instead of guessing games and headcanons

I mean if S2 will reveal canonicity of if not all than at least majority of CoP ending slides then its fine by me

[sand fiber]

do you want to watch a movie or play a non-linear game

[gaunt burrow]

none

i want to eat shawerma

[sand fiber]

i actually have no idea what your point even is, no media can or should explain and conclude every detail that happens in the story

[gaunt burrow]

ending slides aren't "all the details"? those aren't just minor details that should be skipped

theres big difference between actual ending slides and plenty of other minor details, its not even a comparison

[sand fiber]

i actually have no idea what your point even is

SoC had multiple endings and plenty of quests with variable conclusions too

[gaunt burrow]

its simple. I want S2 to reveal which CoP ending slides are "canonical" ones

[gaunt burrow]

not the same

Strelok appeared in CoP

[gloomy knoll]

I mean the ending of CoP was : Strelok left the zone with Degtyarev.

[gaunt burrow]

meaning that he did't go to wish granter and/or joined C-Con

we actually got a conclusion to SoC story

[gloomy knoll]

Everything else is sidequest related unlike it was in SoC

[gaunt burrow]

but with CoP story we didn't

[sand fiber]

great, that's what happens when sequels get released
sooo uhhhh why did you say that ending slides are bad

[gaunt burrow]

or rather, with ending slides of CoP

but yeah, you got the point

[gaunt burrow]

I don't recall saying that ending slides are bad, I said that I could get bad ending slides instead of good ones and it wouldn't have mattered anyways

but I guess "bad slides" are subjective

[sand fiber]

it would in the context of you roleplaying

because that's what stalker is, an rpg

[gaunt burrow]

personally I consider my teammates dying, Sultan taking over Skadovsk etc as bad slides

[gloomy knoll]

That is the fun about RPG's. Everyone plays them differently

[gaunt burrow]

differently or not whoever actually picked Sultan's side should be sent to the arena

[gloomy knoll]

Works only if you get caught by Duty and sent to Rostok... But with Duty and Freedom stuck at Yanov essentially it just aint working. Plus they have their own troubles in Jupiter and wont bother with another area infested with mutants

[gaunt burrow]

@sand fiber @gloomy knoll my headcanon is that Degtyarev canonically got all these achievements and all good slides

[granite mortar]

My headcanon is that he didnt give a rats ass about anyone except Vano

[trim fractal]

Relax dark humour its called liberals

I think vapes became popular only in 2016, but I could be wrong

Do strelok likes beer?

All the new stalkers are soy boys who vape instead of strong well built and handsome 🥰 dudes like scar

I have the theory that strelok pretended to have amnesia

valid theory

I personally dont fw Wolf. But hey it only costs 1 bullet to get rid of him

[trim fractal]

True

[polar orchid]

does stalker have time travel that we know of?

what if every ending actually happened, just on different timelines

[warm linden]

Greer

[warm linden]

As far as I know, no

[granite mortar]

It does
Streloks Group had to time travel in order to make the Jupiter stashes

[warm linden]

There are time distortion anomalies however like the one in Jupiter

[ancient stirrup]

Someone on Reddit posted about a day one DLC is this true?

[granite mortar]

Because calling it inconsistency would be giga lame

[granite mortar]

Doubt it
Reddit guys arent exactly trustworthy

[warm linden]

These are spatial anomalies

[granite mortar]

Yeah thats Spatial Trap
Not time trap

[warm linden]

Or whatever the hell the scientists called the anomaly that trapped the duty founder

[north herald]

this constantly bad talking about a game that isnt even out is really a big thing on reddit

[granite mortar]

From Clear Sky we know its just isolated places in the real world

[ancient stirrup]

true but I was wondering if it is true or not

[warm linden]

Some of it is valid, unfortunately there is such a massive flood of misinformation

[warm linden]

Funny thing in call of pripyat I actually tried to jump into the spatial anomaly that trapped the duty founder lmao

[north herald]

yes, you are absolutly right, they are some valid wories. The nfts for example, but at least they removed the idea after the backlash. Other companys would have probably ignore that

[polar orchid]

i jump into every anomaly, just quicksave first

[warm linden]

Although I did find it weird that the duty bodies were perfectly fine unless the anomaly preserved their bodies as well

[granite mortar]

Damn
Even funnier fact
Spatial Anomaly (great mod btw) mod explains what happened to Duty in the trap
Its absolutely schizo, I love it

10/10
Cant recommend enough

[warm linden]

Oh
From the PDA we find they just kill themselves lmao

[granite mortar]

Yeah but there it was more in depth

[north herald]

I dont know tbh if its true. But lately its pretty stupid what people post there when it comes to s2

[warm linden]

Yet again the PDAs were never in depth about stuff

[indigo marsh]

Omg is that a Spatial Anomaly reference

[warm linden]

Skin them alive

OGSE to be more specific

[warm linden]

He's a goldsphere shill
Don't worry about it

[granite mortar]

Piss orby my beloved

[north herald]

"Keep your expectations low, and pirate the game" people are so weird on reddit

[solar vine]

whats so hype about goldsphere

[granite mortar]

DO Worry about it
Ill make you play Goldsphere at all costs

[indigo marsh]

SoC but it's standalone so you don't need SoC to overwrite the file

[sand fiber]

just finished watching HouseMD, the ending was kinda underwhelming 😭

[granite mortar]

Theres no hype
Its just me being extremely loud

[hazy helm]

It's the predecessor to RTTZ
And in many ways I undercooked compared to RTTZ

[solar vine]

oh, kind of like rasiophpbia?

[hazy helm]

RTTZ is better

[granite mortar]

Radiophobia is poopoo
But yeah

[solar vine]

dude I have never modded my vanilla stalker games you guys are speaking a foreign language to me

[hazy helm]

All my homies hate Radiphobia

[granite mortar]

You just download it and play
Its standalone

[sand fiber]

assume every mod is total conversion until stated otherwise

[granite mortar]

So true

[solar vine]

I know what a standalone game is

[indigo marsh]

Yeah but radiophobia is SoC overhaul and Goldsphere is story mod

[hazy helm]

You played all 3 games?

[granite mortar]

Yes
Now you know
No need to thank me (but you really should)

[solar vine]

oh

[hazy helm]

One is shit and the other is good

[solar vine]

yeah

[hazy helm]

Potatoes potatos

[hazy helm]

Legacy OGSR should be a good jumping board for this type of mod

[solar vine]

ive only played them once though, except CoP, ive beaten it 3 times

[granite mortar]

Damn
Replaying the worst game smh

[sand fiber]

so based

[hazy helm]

As long as you played thru all of em at least once

[solar vine]

is it also standalobe

[warm linden]

What's HouseMD?

[granite mortar]

As said before
Assume all mods are unless specifically stated otherwise

[sand fiber]

a tv series about a fuсked up autistic tboy that cures people

[hazy helm]

Yes

[granite mortar]

Anyways
Check this if you want to know more about Goldsphere

[warm linden]

Oh I thought you were referring to an obscure doom mod
I didn't like that show, wasn't a good representation of autistic people as it gave people in general the wrong impression

[granite mortar]

Omg its just like True Stalker frfr

[solar vine]

thank you

[warm linden]

I got to play true stalker
Yeah it's false advertisement

[granite mortar]

No problem
Ignore my 3 page anomaly rant please
Or dont, I didnt say a single lie there

[sand fiber]

you are thinking about the Good Doctor, a shіtty series with shіtty autistic representation

[solar vine]

why did the person who made this hate anomaly so much

[granite mortar]

Its very meh
Nit as meh as Anomaly
But compared to other story mods .. eh

[granite mortar]

I made it
Its because Anomaly is abysmal dogshit

[solar vine]

oh YOU made it

[granite mortar]

:3

[warm linden]

Either way
Shoot me

[solar vine]

why no clear sky

[granite mortar]

Huh?

[warm linden]

He didn't make it

[granite mortar]

Its mod hub
Mods only

[warm linden]

Goldsphere is very good at trolling

[sand fiber]

😭

[granite mortar]

So good I got Grok to answer the most stupid questions known to man

[warm linden]

Goldsphere? Sounds like a new grok mod

[solar vine]

wym

[warm linden]

He didn't take his meds

[granite mortar]

That is based Syak
He is based version of Syak who his based himself so he is based based syak

[warm linden]

I just woke up
I'm not sure what to do today

[covert slate]

this was a good watch

[warm linden]

Please take your meds

[solar vine]

what

[granite mortar]

Never
Im aspiring student of our Lord and Savior Krezzins masterful craft of schizo posting

[indigo marsh]

Is he based because he made NLC7 or he made NLC7 because he is based?

[granite mortar]

Dont mind me

[sand fiber]

play "Video Games"

[warm linden]

He didn't take his meds

[warm linden]

But it's 8 in the morning

[solar vine]

you replied to me though

[granite mortar]

He is so based he made the most based mod which made him even more based

[granite mortar]

:3
No I didnt

[sand fiber]

i have 6 hours left before the exam and that's what i'll be doing :3

[warm linden]

Be me
Play NLC7
Uninstall because it's garbage

[solar vine]

what exam

[indigo marsh]

I AM a SURGEON

[granite mortar]

Heresy!

[warm linden]

What exam today?

[sand fiber]

english

[granite mortar]

Damn
Living in sea must be crazy

[solar vine]

what type of english

[warm linden]

Use irl copy paste

[sand fiber]

no type of english because i'm a ukrainian taking a russian english test made for people who know the language on a middle-school level

[solar vine]

the 2.49 hot and ready mcchicken in california is 3.49 the west is falling

[worthy lagoon]

Although medically speaking he does the right stuff compared to House MD and other series

[still ridge]

it's over

[finite dragon]

my english is still worse than you

[solar vine]

why is angela here

[solar vine]

youll be fine

[indigo marsh]

It's a show about a crippled doctor with an addiction to pain killers, specifically Vicodin. Also he is good at his job but is kinda an ass.

[granite mortar]

Thats just Doctor Strange ripoff

[solar vine]

what does this mean

[sand fiber]

doesn't matter, House is the cuntiest doctor planet earth has ever seen, and that absolves him of any medical malpractice lawsuits :3

[sand fiber]

no that would be sherlock holmes ripoff

[worthy lagoon]

I have seen doctors that are way more cunt than him

[worthy lagoon]

You asked for Angela

[granite mortar]

It cant be a ripoff
They are literally both the same person
That being Botanic Colourbadge

[indigo marsh]

Isn't the doctor strange the guy who does magic

[sand fiber]

hate irl doctors tbh

[granite mortar]

Hes a doctor with crippled hands who is an ass but real good at his job

[worthy lagoon]

Irl wouldn't exist such thing

[indigo marsh]

Dr House has to use a cane

[worthy lagoon]

Everything he does is just dumb

[granite mortar]

How cak you tell?
You arent real either

[indigo marsh]

Also Dr strange doesn't commit malpractice

[worthy lagoon]

At least it's not as bad as 911

[granite mortar]

Strange uses cape
To choke people

[indigo marsh]

This reminded me of that one housemd clip

It's not similar to the thing that you said to strange does

But it reminded me of it

[worthy lagoon]

Most medically accurate TV show

[grim palm]

[celest blaze]

Strelok is a chad

[calm bough]

[queen ice]

How’s everyone doing today?

[regal sapphire]

good hbu

I told my brother I would play dark souls 3 if he played SoC and he accepted

💪

[celest blaze]

Aye haha that's chaos

Ecologists went to war with merc and military in my run atm

Bro...

[naive fog]

He tweakin

[celest blaze]

Clear sky for me is fighting monolith in the red forest and Jupiter/zanton

Clear sky is usually neutral with alot of factions

[lethal orchid]

A bandage and a medkit and I would be fine

[celest blaze]

You'll love up north

Red forest is insane rn cuz I'm at war with freedom so it's a 3 way fight between me the monolith and freedom. Duty is nowhere to be seen chad sky stacking mono bodies

[lethal orchid]

Clear sky second best faction

[celest blaze]

First *

[lethal orchid]

Second only to ecologists

Clear sky is just slightly more militant ecologists

And thus less dedicated to research

Which makes them second to us

[sand fiber]

clear sky is just a wannabe freedom

[loud gate]

Clear Sky as a faction actually sucks

[lethal orchid]

Ok monoloid

[celest blaze]

Clearsky was the only faction to actually fight the monolith

[lethal orchid]

What faction even are you

[celest blaze]

They pushed to the CNPP and tried to stop strelok, they seiged limansk, they tried to save lives

[sand fiber]

freedom

[loud gate]

ccon

[sand fiber]

that too

[celest blaze]

Freedom to busy sleeping with mutants

[lethal orchid]

Wait can I join

I'd rather be in the c con faction than scientists

[celest blaze]

C con are scientists ??

[lethal orchid]

Is there a way to do so in the discord

[lethal orchid]

Not ecologists though, pretty big difference

[celest blaze]

All scientists are the same

Only thing that changes is field of research

[lethal orchid]

I suppose any ecologist would instantly join c con if presented the opportunity

[celest blaze]

I don't think they would tbh

Even strelok refuses to join them

[naive fog]

Y would he tho

He's a stalker not a scientist

[celest blaze]

Most sane people would refuse the c con imo

[naive fog]

Ye

[indigo marsh]

Military

[celest blaze]

Military rushed in once clear sky did the heavy lifting

[indigo marsh]

Not really the CS raid took place during CS

Also the military raid took place during SoC

[sand fiber]

operation Monolith and CS raid are unrelated

[celest blaze]

Let me hype clearsky

[indigo marsh]

Also for the fighting part military fought Monolith during CoP too

[indigo marsh]

The faction that raided cnpp and achieved their goal

[celest blaze]

🗣️

[calm slate]

Just wanted to report to y’all. Been playing stalker on the PlayStation portal and it’s been great! Finished SoC and moving onto Clear Sky now!

[celest blaze]

💪👑

[sand fiber]

will he succumb to the Clear Sky brainrot i wonder

[celest blaze]

Just cuz you hate clear sky doesn't mean it's brainrot

[sand fiber]

it very much is

[celest blaze]

Clear sky is a great game

[celest blaze]

Proof ? Let's see evidence

[sand fiber]

mid compared to SoC and CoP

[celest blaze]

Cop is worst game in the franchise

[sand fiber]

i WILL make a two hour videoessay talking about how CS is not a stalker game

[calm slate]

I’ll have 0 shame lowering to novice if I need to just get through it. 😏 but we’ll see!

[sand fiber]

CoPE

[celest blaze]

The only good thing about CoP is it gave us call of the zone

The only people who hate clear sky are those who have issues of skill

[lethal orchid]

Ok that's false

[celest blaze]

Soc and cs are much better stalker games

[loud gate]

All suck, Build 1935 rules

[indigo marsh]

I love listening to video essays/history vids while doing monotonous activities

[lethal orchid]

It's the least good in the series but it's still pretty damn good

[celest blaze]

AYO

[sand fiber]

CoP > CS and that's simply the truth

[celest blaze]

That's an opinion

[naive fog]

CoP was a graphical downgrade too

[celest blaze]

Idk if stalker 2 will manage to surpass clear sky

[loud gate]

Build 1935 > CoP > CS and that's simply the truth

[sand fiber]

sooo true bestie

2005 SoC was much better than release

[loud gate]

CS will be fighting a losing battle

[indigo marsh]

Graphics don't matter

[naive fog]

But imo CS and CoP are tied I never know which is better

[celest blaze]

Call of the zone > CoP imo

[loud gate]

sorry, I am drunk

[naive fog]

Depends on the mood really

[celest blaze]

All good lol

I mean I like all the stalker games I just like heated debates

[celest goblet]

The new game will have a lot of technological advantages

[naive fog]

Who doesn't like all stalker games ?

[loud gate]

I like them all except ShoC, CS and CoP

[celest blaze]

Fr gamma is the only good stalker game imo

[queen ice]

CoC is my favorite stalker game

🍿

[loud gate]

Nah,

[sand fiber]

metro builds are my favorite stalker game tbh

[loud gate]

My favourite is Metro Exodus

[celest blaze]

For me my ranking is clear sky > shadow of chernobyl > call of the zone > anomaly > call of pripyat

[queen ice]

I actually kind of enjoyed Exodus redux

[naive fog]

I prefer base 2033 on Ranger Hardcore

[indigo marsh]

The debate usually boils down to which of the 3 is the best

[loud gate]

CotZ b etter than CoP?

[sand fiber]

^this man hates good games^

[celest blaze]

Honestly yeah tbh cop felt so rushed and it's main quest for hunting for heli crashes was kinda mid

[loud gate]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-stop-coping-subhuman-coping-just-right-gif-20747920

[naive fog]

Side quests were cool tho

[loud gate]

Sounds like so much CoPe

[indigo marsh]

Anomaly higher than CoP

[celest blaze]

Side quests were cool I just like cotz more then cop

[loud gate]

unacceptable

[celest blaze]

[celest blaze]

Clear sky still my number 1 though

[loud gate]

You're lucky that's the case..

[celest blaze]

[loud gate]

I emptied the can of NonStop

[celest blaze]

[naive fog]

Im in a CS mood recently, I'm playing through OWA as clear sky and I'm replaying it in a bit to get 5 playthroughs on all games

Playing a shit ton of Doom 64 too tho

[celest blaze]

Aye I gotta do that

[queen ice]

Somebody’s about to have the jitters

[celest blaze]

I may take a small break from stalker in August to get fresh for Sept 5th been playing the trilogy and mods since may/june

[naive fog]

Im kinda doing that

[loud gate]

You will play GSC's other games 🫵

[naive fog]

I have a backlog of shit to play

[celest blaze]

Ong same

[indigo marsh]

[celest blaze]

I may hop back into war thunder but high tier is honestly hell

[naive fog]

Hop on enlisted

[celest blaze]

Enlisted based game

[queen ice]

Im glad I got out before it went ballistic

[indigo marsh]

Enlisted is WT but good and infantry

[naive fog]

I main Soviets

[celest blaze]

I'm top tier us ground and OH MAN it's suffering

[naive fog]

As with everything

[queen ice]

The day we got Cold War vehicles fighting tigers is when it all went to hell

[indigo marsh]

You can't pick tho

[indigo marsh]

Unless you can and I didn't see it bc I'm blind

[naive fog]

You turn off random choice or whatever and main a faction

[queen ice]

Ex-US/Sov/German main

I remember having to fight the Bradley in the panther II

[naive fog]

I used to main Soviets on Stalingrad

[queen ice]

I was losing my mind

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. The game kept putting me in Japan and I kept losing.

[naive fog]

Last game I shot down a plane with an SV-38 while it was flying high in the air

[indigo marsh]

And whenever I played as soviet or the US I kept winning

Except I usually got japan

[naive fog]

When was this? Before release?

[indigo marsh]

No a month ago

[naive fog]

Damn

[indigo marsh]

I suck playing as japan

[celest blaze]

😭

[naive fog]

You pick your faction and turn off the randomiser

[celest blaze]

Panther 2 vs Bradly is BEYOND cursed

[queen ice]

Used to love running the M103 back when 7.7 was top

[indigo marsh]

Chadley second to none

[queen ice]

There’s not fun in trying that anymore

[celest blaze]

M103 is a goated tank I loved the super pershing and t34 (us one )

[queen ice]

T26E4 is actually my best statistical tank

[naive fog]

Gn guys

[queen ice]

4:1 KD with it

[indigo marsh]

Gn vro

[queen ice]

German mains lose their shit if you angle it ever so slightly and hide the MG port

[indigo marsh]

I was researching 6.7 US heavys before I became Goldsphere Pilled

🟡

[celest blaze]

I've become cotz pilled

[queen ice]

Idk man, the whole BR compression issue paired with the horrible economy back then really kicked me off

Got the T30, called it quits after. Too much nonsense going on

[celest blaze]

It's still bad now you made the right call

[queen ice]

I’ve heard some positive aspects regarding economy but that’s still not enough for me to go back, don’t think I ever will tbh

I had no issues doing well as I regularly got 4-10 kills per game and usually one 1-2 deaths, but it just wasn’t fun anymore

I’ll miss absolutely zooming around in the M41 and bullying tigers though

[celest blaze]

I loved bullying German players those mfs were BLIND

[queen ice]

Real

[queen ice]

Tiger H1 players were comical

Sorry, ping. 2AM shenanigans

[loud gate]

[frank egret]

Went to the bandit camp in call of Pripyat and killed all the bandits because stealing is bad, then I realized they were holding a guy hostage so I saved him. Cool stuff in this game, man.

[polar orchid]

i just accidentally killed a guy who said "dont shoot"

[leaden meadow]

Gordon Freeworld?

[celest blaze]

Don't worry my finger always slip on the trigger to surrendering bandits or freedom

Accidents suck man

[tropic summit]

I’ve gotten a bit better at clear sky 👍 it’s fun so far

[polar orchid]

its cool that you can let the death screen play on for as long as you want

got overrun by bandits and they eventually came over and started dropping voicelines, then a bunch of mutants started attacking them

[valid thicket]

You can't do that on the Xbox version sadly

[tropic summit]

Im able to on xbox in CS

[valid thicket]

Oh, I can't on SoC

[umbral rune]

13 hours until new stalker 2 media!!!

[pale pivot]

There’s gonna be new media?

[umbral rune]

Idk just usually at 12pm they reveal some and i think it's been two Tuesdays in a row

Complete guess

[loud gate]

7 weeks in a row

[umbral rune]

And that's why I love you mozi

[narrow tartan]

What's the whole "Day One DLCs" thing?

[loud gate]

Because I spawn into the conversation out of nowhere?

[umbral rune]

The reddit drama?

[loud gate]

There's one extra small quest for people who buy the ultimate edition as a bonus for support devs.

[loud gate]

Reddit - the place of so many so-called "fans"

[umbral rune]

Yea I try not to use it anymore as any community revolving around any game I like is absurdly negative.

[narrow tartan]

Uh, it looks like a lot more than that

[loud gate]

No, that's just reddit, really

[narrow tartan]

ULTIMATE EDITION INCLUDES:
Season Pass With Access to All Future DLCs, Including 2 Story Expansions

Additional Story-Based Side Quest

Single Player: 1 Costume Skin & 3 Weapon Skins

Multiplayer: 3 Costume Skins & 7 Weapon Skins for Multiplayer

PRE-ORDER ULTIMATE EDITION NOW TO GET EXCLUSIVE BONUSES:
Extended Campfire Content: more guitar tunes and tales that you can hear in the game around the stalkers' campfires

'Early Bird' Weapon Skin

'Early Bird' Costume Skin

'Early Bird' Multiplayer Badge

this is kinda worrying

[loud gate]

So where is the other day one DLC?

Unless you count skins as DLC

[narrow tartan]

Pre-Order

I mean, "the extended campfire content" is a bit odd

Is the base game going to restrict the OG's guitar songs under DLC?

[loud gate]

I assume all songs from that are new, but I can't give you an exact answer really

[warm linden]

Metro exodus save corrupted
It's so over

[celest blaze]

Reddit is cursed and should be used for tech support only

[umbral rune]

Printer error 740# gang wya!

[gloomy knoll]

how will I make fun of strange people and folk on twitter and facebook then?

[hazy path]

It's been 8 months since I checked this 'cord. All I can say is...when game?

[celest blaze]

[celest blaze]

Never

[hazy path]

So basically the unsaid is now said

[celest blaze]

Jk Sept 5th 2024

[nimble cipher]

benis5596 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hazy path]

can't wait. considering the state of modern gaming it's going to go hard as FUDGE

[celest blaze]

I'm beyond pumped

[hazy path]

if you delay something until it's good you have the edge over 98% of modern live service releases so I guess I'm pumped too

[loud gate]

I go on reddit and every time I see a post, it's always some "it has pre-orders bonuses" - and the posts always don't even have correct information.. makes no sense for people to constantly repeat the same shit and react like it's something new

[celest blaze]

Ong a delayed game will eventually be good but a rushed game will always be bad

[hazy path]

that was true back when people didn't have social media

[celest blaze]

Reddit is honestly upsetting sometimes

[hazy path]

now people just complain about whatever releases until it drowns out anything else

[loud gate]

Wait, if you're a fan and you follow the game, wouldn't you already know all of this?

[warm linden]

You know what's the worst part about playing metro exodus on ranger hardcore? The button prompts
They make the prompts invisible and because of that I don't know what to press

[loud gate]

Or is it just agenda?

[celest blaze]

You think it could be a Russian op?

[umbral rune]

No man's sky

[hazy path]

lmao I always play every game on the hardest difficulty because I have a latent inferiority complex and that shit cost me hours of frustration

[warm linden]

Who the the hell makes a difficulty mode where they make button prompts invisible?

[hazy path]

but I refused to lower the difficulty...pride on the line

[loud gate]

nah lol,

[warm linden]

Not even that just
Why make button prompts invisible? Are they stupid?

[celest goblet]

reddit is just like that

[celest blaze]

I'm just prepping for gamma players to downvote the game because you don't have to spend 5 hours to find basic tools

[warm linden]

The worst part about metro exodus is literally the beginning of the game because it's a dedicated tutorial

[loud gate]

Most boring 2 hours ever

[umbral rune]

Every metro game

[nimble cipher]

benis5596 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[loud gate]

Nah, 2033 and LL's intro pace is good. Exodus straight up sucks bad.

[warm linden]

At least they make it like it isn't a tutorial
They don't scream instructions in your face

[hazy path]

"what do you mean you want to know about mechanics we didn't tell you about? didn't you play through the game already on easy?"

[umbral rune]

Yea I guess it's Moreso that it's patronizing

[warm linden]

Like Jesus Christ I don't need to be told how to sneak and how to distract enemies

[indigo marsh]

Skippable tutorials are the best type of tutorials

[celest blaze]

Fr

[loud gate]

Doom Eternal starts up without any tutorial

[hazy path]

at least shid like tomb raider reboots tell you that if you play on "realistic" you are pissing in the wind when it comes to the game introducing mechanics

[warm linden]

It's so bad that it actually stops me from replaying the game and everytime I replay it I'm just like oh god I have to do this again

[umbral rune]

I feel ya

[warm linden]

Sorry if I'm being whiny it's just
Why patronise the player so much?

[indigo marsh]

Stalker also doesn't really have tutorial for CS (minus the artifact hunting one) and CoP

[warm linden]

With other games the tutorial is just straight up optional

Or the game is forgiving enough where you can actually learn

[celest blaze]

I feel tutorials should be optional hell I think even arma has optional tutorial

[warm linden]

Instead it feels forced
Worst part about exodus is the unskippable cutscenes, like I have to sit through all this

[loud gate]

It's not really a tutorial in CS, he just tells you some side notes

it teaches you what to press, but now how to press

[still ridge]

Stalker 2 will have more of a tutorial approach with the player character being taught the mechanics of the zone

I bet

[loud gate]

I can tell you, you are right

[still ridge]

I mean, it makes sense

[loud gate]

there are some pop-ups in the first 30 minutes of the game explaining some basic stuff, but after that, it's all on yourself afaik

It's nothing ShoC hasn't done .

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. It's the similar for SoC. It's just tiny little words on the screen the first time you encounter a mechanic and you can revisit it on the pda

[still ridge]

GRAHHHH mol1t gib us more content tomorrow

PWEASE

[loud gate]

TODAY

[polar orchid]

stalker is the type of game that should assume you've played some games before. i cant imagine stalker being too many peoples first game

[hazy path]

arma has an optional tutorial because if it wasn't for youtubers telling you how to play the game, nobody would be playing arma

[still ridge]

It’s 11:47 for me

[loud gate]

ye

[loud gate]

PM or AM

[still ridge]

What’s it like being in tomorrow

PM

[nimble cipher]

benis5596 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[still ridge]

PMm

[celest blaze]

Idk Arma been around before youtube I think

[loud gate]

Well, it's 7AM for me
13 hours to go

[warm linden]

No

[celest blaze]

Milsims have always had a scene above nornal fps

[still ridge]

I get to sleep and see what happens in the morning

[hazy path]

if you look at the steam playtimes of SoC like over half of people got filtered by having to shoot some half-drunk gopnik assbutts in a car park

[loud gate]

Operation Flashpoint*

[still ridge]

[celest blaze]

So many people got filtered by chad sky's swamp lol

[hazy path]

OH NOOOO I HAVE TO RELY ON MY MEMORY AND BUY AMMO? NOOOOOOOOO

To this day soy enthusiasts on yt seethe about CS and SoC beginnings

I am forced to think they played the game in the 2010s and were already brainrotted and dopamine-pilled

[warm linden]

Tbf it is poorly made
Game gets good once you get to cordon but man the beginning is just not good

[hazy path]

It's objectively bad but I remember it being challenging and interesting and not hurting my fee-fees, guess YMMV

[warm linden]

Idk
Whenever I see swamps I think about the souls games and have a PTSD attack

[indigo marsh]

I think I am the only person who liked the swamps

[hazy path]

I liked it too. I thought it was cool and engaging and challenigng.

[celest blaze]

I kinda liked the swamp it was fun wiping the renegades out

[hazy path]

Some people really need shid spoonfed to them. Like they can't make their own fun no matter what. It has to be busting out their neurotransmitters or it's just not happening.

[gloomy knoll]

Swamps are perfect artifact Farming Territory

[warm linden]

Why did they remove manual save for exodus ranger hardcore? Are they stupid?

[indigo marsh]

😡 why are you killing the members of the best faction

[warm linden]

I don't wanna go through Moscow again

[hazy path]

beginning of SoC and CS told me that I am more than happy to engage in rawtismo farming of resources as long as I get nice looking environments and fun combat

[celest blaze]

🗣️🔥

I'm kinda bummed renegades aren't in call of the zone

[hazy path]

it's a hard world of suffering and you rise above it by save scumming. who could ask for more?

[indigo marsh]

Actually?

[hazy path]

whats that?

[indigo marsh]

Shit mod

[hazy path]

like call of chernobyl plus?

[indigo marsh]

JK it's good

[celest blaze]

One of the best freeplay mods out there

I'd check the moddb page full dynamic quests etc I'm on my phone so don't wanna type it out

[hazy path]

I haven't played ship since GAMMA

[celest blaze]

it's mostly in anomaly you can play as renegade/sin/unisg

[hazy path]

unfortunately I am not willing to sacrifice story content for good playability so tbh I can't play the vanilla games anymore without feeling like something is lacking

[indigo marsh]

Unisg/sin

[indigo marsh]

Renagades

[hazy path]

any mod which lacks GAMMA levels of player controller, weapon feedback, animations, realtime stats, et cetera et cetera just feels so lacking

[gloomy knoll]

Oh dear benis you woke the horde

[celest blaze]

I gotta disagree hard with this

Gamma feels nothing like stalker it's a disgrace to gsc

[hazy path]

plus like spending 400 hours finding a wire brush to put together a railgun that uses sci-fi materials is peak gameplay amirite

[celest blaze]

I wish we never lost Dr.X

[hazy path]

my wife left me and i became financially destitute but I finally found the advanced toolkit guise its all coming together for me

[celest blaze]

You're finally entering the beginning stages of mid game I'm guessing it'll take 1000 more hours of STRESS and PAIN until you enter midgame

[hazy path]

a wonder why I don't play gatcha games

[celest blaze]

Same

[hazy path]

I spent 400 hours and as many bundles for a chinese computer game to make me feel loved for 90 seconds

nah fam we deal in pain and misery and that's why I can't use distilled alcohol made on a farm by a bunch of murderers on the lam on a "farm" as a suitable replacement for a chemical solvent which is chemically equivalent to ethyl alcohol to clean my dirty guns

[warm linden]

Are you kidding me
In the beginning of exodus, hunters dog tags stopped the bullet from killing me
It was a 7.39mm rifle round

[hazy path]

no bro we only use acetone you can't clean your type 56 you bought for half a pack of cigs and a fistful of sunflower seeds with ethy alcohol

NYET KHOROSHO

[hazy path]

I mean it's pretty cool of them to have an actual mechanic for plot armor

stainless steel balls yeet just as hard as factory ammo because reasons

[warm linden]

The dog tag is made from aluminium
It would not stop a rifle round let alone a pistol shot

Realistically we should have been dead

[hazy path]

it's aluminum that came out of the plot armor factory, it's 99% damage resistance

[warm linden]

Real

[gloomy knoll]

Faulty ammo? With the stuff they produce Underground you wont have an equal quality

[raven grove]

Someone who has a set of actual military issue dog tags here, I could snap them in half by breathing on them wrong

I wish you all a good day be well

[jaunty junco]

Good afternoon

[tropic summit]

The weapon jamming on clearsky is insane oh my god?? I reload because jam, BOOM cannot shoot first shot because another jam. 5 shots? Jam. 2 shots? Jam. I’m not mad, its funny but still

[calm slate]

Have they announced a fix or acknowledged the sound delay on console?

[still ridge]

Reliability upgrades

And keep your weapon in good condition

[warm linden]

I have returned from uni

[warm linden]

Less condition = more likely to jam

One thing I actually like about anomaly is I can repair my stuff on the road
For major repairs and upgrades I go to a mechanic

[frank egret]

Never play through stalker cop without dropping a 30 bomb on the bandit base

The next update will be posted soon and when it does, check the patch log.

Also, what game are you referring to?

[warm linden]

I might draw some stalker stuff

Should be fun

[nova wedge]

Cant wait to see

I got pressured into drawing my little pony stalker so thats happening, eventually

[warm linden]

Although I'm not sure if I want to do digital or draw it

Although irl drawing isn't appreciated as much as digital art though due to how accessible digital drawing is

[nova wedge]

I usually do sketches on paper these days and then line on pc. But thats largely bc I dont have a tablet to use

[warm linden]

Idk, I've done paper most of my life so looking at digital drawn stuff it looks like it takes no effort and you can just take back any mistake you make
You want to shade you use a tool for it, it's so easy
With paper it takes actual skill

This is basically me not seeing the appeal

[nova wedge]

Theres shortcuts but there is still a lot to get used to. I like the tactile feel of physical things more anyways-holding a pencil or a brush or a marker is different and requires you to use it a little differently. Dont really get that in digital

[versed crypt]

Epic

[warm linden]

Pog even

[versed crypt]

The realing

[sand fiber]

dats a very reductive way of looking at it

but enjoy what you enjoy c:

[warm linden]

like I said I was raised with paper so I'm a little biased :3

my school only started doing digital drawn stuff after I graduated c:

[versed crypt]

I prefer both...(I won't elaborate on how both can be preferred)

[warm linden]

real :3

[nimble cipher]

anthonyirwin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[forest ibex]

Both is good

Ai art bad

[nimble cipher]

universalheart_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dapper finch]

Well something dramatic happened

[red spruce]

Im going to walk into the army warehouses and scream at the bloodsuckers

[jaunty junco]

based, AI art has no soul

[red spruce]

AI "artist" after typing 5 words and watching an algorythm smash togheter a bunch of images it finds online into one amalgamation:

[jaunty junco]

I could go on a rant about AI art, sick of seeing it

[solid cosmos]

If it's not a detailed picture of a bloodsuckers butthole then I don't want the dang puzzle.

[north herald]

Ai is cool, but it should be definitly marked as something like this. Also it should not be legal to sell stuff that was created with ai. People with skills should be payed, not ai.

[jaunty junco]

AI art isnt even actual AI

its a machine learning algorithm

nothing intelligent about it

[floral bramble]

I want to play stalker 2 T.T

[jaunty junco]

wait a few months then

[worn oar]

We all do

[north herald]

Hello Sir, how are you doing?

[finite dragon]

Sams here only two more months left for S2 also cant wait for space marines 2 as well 🔥🔥🔥

[solid cosmos]

less than two months, actually

[worn oar]

Not really good

[north herald]

Why that? 😦

[worn oar]

Been waiting for 2hs now for my work car to be repaired, but the guy didn't even start..
