[oak wyvern]

Whey he mad about the place I'm goin

[dense jackal]

Probably too close to a curse word

Hey stalker

[oak wyvern]

He ll... helheim, Hela, heliante

[quick wasp]

Hiii stalker :DD

How are y’all doing

[dense jackal]

Seems to work

[dense jackal]

Good played a lot of stalker 2 today

[oak wyvern]

Oh but nooooo I move thos ls to close to that e and all of a sudden I'm being scolded by the dude I nube toubed in my "kill everything including the strelok" run

[quick wasp]

I should probably do the same. I’ve spent 18 hours on shadow of cherynoble, having to start over 3 times

Due to glitch and my game suddenly crashing out

I’m not even done with the game yet

[dense jackal]

Yeah that's stalker 2, very fun if it stops f@cking crashing

[dense jackal]

How fair did you get?

[quick wasp]

Right now?. I just got done taking the usb stick. But it’s been a while since I’ve played it

I think I got done with taking a briefcase from a apartment complex

It keeps piss*ng me off Because it keeps on crashing

[dense jackal]

I meant like what part did you get to in the 18 hours run before you had to start over

[dense jackal]

It keeps crashing now too?

[quick wasp]

Ohhhh. The radioactive lab where you get the suit

[dense jackal]

What suit again?

[quick wasp]

The one suit that protects you from radiation

[dense jackal]

Oh the end game suit before the generators

[quick wasp]

The what?

[quick wasp]

Yea i have to help some rescued scientists and then I get it

[dense jackal]

Oh wait are you talking about the og stalker games?

[quick wasp]

Yes

The og one

[dense jackal]

Ohh I'm dumb I thought you meant stalker 2 sorry 😭

[quick wasp]

Dw it’s fine, I thought I was having a Mandela moment Because you were talking about something entirely different

[coarse sparrow]

wrong chat rookie

[quick wasp]

Ohhhh I just realised 😭😭. My bad

[dense jackal]

We were talking about two different stalker games then 😭

[quick wasp]

Yea I guess so 😭😭. I just realised the 2 In the stalker channel name

[dense jackal]

Talk to cool kids when you play stalker 2 😎

[hearty compass]

we all know the coolest kids are the ones that rawdog vanilla SoC v1.0

[quick wasp]

Fair enough . If my pc can even run it, man I’m probably going to get a better pc I guess

[hearty compass]

no rush brother, you will play it when you play it, if you can run soc/cs/cop you already have access to peak sdalger

[quick wasp]

Apparently I need a NASA computer for this

[quick wasp]

Yesss. I got them most at steam bundle deal

[hearty compass]

(stalker 2 is still great tho, especially since a-life exists now, to an extent)

[quick wasp]

Like 10 euros, the a-life???!

[dense jackal]

I use my Xbox one (it becomes a nuke after 5 hours)

[hearty compass]

10 euros is a steal man you should be locked up

and yeah, a-life is the whole eco system simulation of the zone

[quick wasp]

Xbox one. Oh my god💀

[quick wasp]

Ohhhh. I didn’t know this but true I think it was 15 or something but my legally insane criminal mind should’ve been locked up for a good price

[dense jackal]

It's working its best especially with the mods I have on too

[hearty compass]

yeees it's really cool, stalkers fight and die and loot and travel even when you're not around, mutants hunt and eat and run from scarier mutants, its very cool. a-life is at it's best in Call of Pripyat, but my overall favourite stalker game is shadow of chernobyl

[quick wasp]

WHAT????

[worthy zodiac]

I'm playing it on gtx1080 and ryzen 5 2600x

[hearty compass]

atleast today it's my favourite stalker game, tomorrow it might be call of pripyat again

[hearty compass]

yeah dude it's a whole thing, it's like 50% of what makes stalker games so special to me

[dense jackal]

And sadly stalker 2 still haven't met how good the old game's a life was

[quick wasp]

I didn’t know this. I thought I was becoming very paranoid because some things just change little bit over time. But I never knew this was a thing, holy cow my love stalker has increased dramatically

[worthy zodiac]

I wouldn't say that CoP has the best A-Life. It's hard to say which game is best at it since it works differently in each one of them...

[quick wasp]

Basically I got the Truman show in my game

[hearty compass]

truth, but atleast it's getting there

@worthy zodiac yeah that is true, some people probably think the faction war a-life of CS is best, but it just really shines bright in CoP because of the map size imo

[quick wasp]

I’m on my 3d modelling laptop. Not super old or super fancy

[hearty compass]

yeah pretty much lmao, the people you see at camps dont despawn they just start moving around (until they die to something wacky, but even then you might find their corpse)

[dense jackal]

That is true I just wish we didn't have to use mods to make it better 😔

[worthy zodiac]

In the end, the best A-Life is A-life from some freeplay mods like CotZ...
I'm not a fan of CS A-Life either because of how predictable it is (even if you patch the game to make NPCs dots invisible on the map – you always know where will they go and where you-ll see them fighting)

[hearty compass]

soon man, soon. offline a-life is working now, and offline fights corpses even persist for a while too, so you can get that experience of coming across something and being like what the hell happened here

[worthy zodiac]

I really liked SoC with AMK on top of it

[quick wasp]

Crazy??. I thought it was weird they moved somewhere else and didn’t despawn

[hearty compass]

oh brother you have no idea, for the original version of soc they even wanted the NPCs to compete with the player for the main quest objective items lmao

[worthy zodiac]

Yeah, that's what makes it different from so many other open world games

[quick wasp]

That would’ve been awesome too. I got my favourite stalker to help me

[hearty compass]

but what we have is in the OG trilogy is already insanely impressive

[dense jackal]

I've seen that more often yes and I know sooner or later I won't need mods for a life anymore

[quick wasp]

I guess so. I thought there was more about this game then it meets the eye

[hearty compass]

it's a gem dude, a real life artifact

[quick wasp]

I always thought selling my 100 pistols and getting no profit back or anything was kinda whack

And seeing it become 2x more expensive

[hearty compass]

lmao yeah stalker economy is kinda funky

[quick wasp]

I experienced the Easter European pawn shop. Getting absolutely scammed

[hearty compass]

sidorovich takes good care of you brother, trust what he says and buy the 2000 ruble sausage

[dire sage]

I think the econemy is fine on anything that's stalker and rookie difficulty, once you play veteran it gets pretty unbalanced

[hearty compass]

brothers i must go to sleep, the last thing i did at work today was mess up the logging of our CI/CD pipeline so i need to be well rested tomorrow morning lol

be careful with that kind of talk, people might end up talking about snorks again

[quick wasp]

Alright good night stalker

[hearty compass]

goodnight brother enjoy the games man they're peak (also dont worry the mods are chill here)

i've gotten away with saying some wild stuff in here, just listen when they ask you to stop, they ask very nicely

[quick wasp]

Okay thank you. But I did see the sausages go up to 900 rubkes once,

[hearty compass]

it's prime sausage bro, sid made it on the toilet earlier

just dont google what tourist's delight is

[quick wasp]

Trueee. The sausage is made from Organic zombie meat, the zombies are given energy drink for every hour

[dense jackal]

I heard sausages

[quick wasp]

I thought that was going to be something horrifying. But no I found the funniest shyt ever 🤣🤣

[dense jackal]

Sausages are what made me rich in stalker 2

[hearty compass]

oh also dont translate the zombie VO's unless you wanna feel bad

[quick wasp]

Oh wtf???

Man I’m feeling sad. I thought they were speaking zombie gibberish

Like my game doesn’t translate the convo at campfire or even the zombie talking

[dense jackal]

The zombies make me feel bad for killing them for fun

[static compass]

Yep

The zombies are hella depressing

[nimble cipher]

garik_igor has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[static compass]

[spiral ether]

had to kill a zombified corps member and I think he was talking about his daughter back on the mainland 😔

[static compass]

[dense jackal]

[shut cosmos]

I saw a video on a dude saying they removed that from s2 lol

[spiral ether]

I dont know man, found him in the burnt forest

[river minnow]

What’s the knife even for?

Only use I can think of is killing incapacitated dudes without alerting other folk

But I use the silenced pistol anyway so idk

It’s range is ass (duh), it’s hit box is janky, and it couldn’t scratch butter

Not complaining, just wondering

[spiral ether]

theres an achievement for 20 stealth kills, but yeah, its not really useful in combat

[supple wedge]

Breaking open crates.

Probably should have been a crowbar.... oh.

[exotic relic]

doing backstab kills (impossible anyways) and breaking open boxes without using durability on your weapons

and opening up your beer bottles

[shut cosmos]

Does a life make || monolith || more active? I just beat siirca and i keep running into patrols of 10

[shut cosmos]

Monster parts

[river minnow]

Damn fr?

I only just recently found out I could open them (grenade mishap) and I’ve just been shooting them till loot pops out

[static compass]

Yeah, it's only used in animations, as a (meh) melee weapon, or breaking crates

[river minnow]

I’ve used the bolts more than the knife icl

Idek what the bolts do

I assumed they’d draw enemy attention but they’ve not done much so far

Maybe I can lob one at a snork to make it go away

I hate snorks sm

Waste of ammo, they drop nothing, and they like to swarm me and do spin kick bs

Go away man idc that your spine is out leave me alone💔

[indigo marsh]

Bolts are for anomalies and doesn't effect enemies attention

[river minnow]

Do they like, activate them or sm?

[shut cosmos]

Yes

Are you playing stalker 2?

[river minnow]

Nah, SoC

[static compass]

You throw bolts at anomalies to trigger them, then run through before they reactivate

[shut cosmos]

Oh. Yeah bolts if you throw them into anomalies they'll activate them

[tribal portal]

use grenades instead of bolts on anomalies

[river minnow]

I’ve just been running through them

I could’ve avoided getting toasted in those lightning tunnels and I didn’t even know

[shut cosmos]

Oh nah tbh it barely helps with the lightning tunnel

[river minnow]

I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing I just shoot things and do whatever random people tell me to

Found like 30 bottles of vodka in some army hideout or sm, downed all of them at once and got an achievement for it

My screen looked like mental for ages after but now my marked one might die from liver failure before the radiation poisoning gets him

[river minnow]

I hate them sm

Snorks, lightning tunnels, and random men with shotguns are my worst enemies

[indigo marsh]

For snorks shotgun are a pretty good solution

[river minnow]

I used to use one but sold it bc it was too heavy to keep around

That and my rifle is better and way more flexible

[shut cosmos]

It will be better in handling mutants btw lol

[thin locust]

I might be getting old, but dogs, cats and bloodsuckers are a tad too fast.

They turn on a dime w/o losing momentum.

[worthy zodiac]

I have a hard time with them cause of framegen

[thin locust]

Oh, might that me it?

Ill try that, thanks.

Getting bumrushed by 3 or 4 bloodsuckers that keep stunlocking you was fun.

Ended F1'ing the living daylight out of the corridors.

[tribal portal]

moments before disaster

[hardy bear]

For the flesh

[lunar shadow]

I hate the zombies in this game, how dare you make me cry my eyes out

[tribal portal]

go to icarus fight 1000 of them

[lunar shadow]

Fighting em is fine sneaking past em kills me

[exotic relic]

bro didn't listen to richer when he woke up

[tribal portal]

i am blind so i run into them anyway

[exotic relic]

the game tells you to throw bolts at anomalies to trigger then eg gravity, electric

there are some that are just avoid or tank them like the lava things and fire things or bubbles or flashbang

also btw @river minnow crouch thru the glass shard anomaly, it won't damage you if you crouch thru but running or walking thru will hurt you

[ripe thorn]

Does it still damage your armor?

Haven't tested it in a while

[wise flume]

did it ever?

[ripe thorn]

The rumor had it that it did

I don't remember what my testing yilded me, but I have an impression that it did
Maybe I'm trippin tho

[flint cliff]

To make the night more realistic, is it enough to lower the brightness in the game settings? To what value? I play on Xbox.

[exotic relic]

I would recommend against doing that until we get a good flashlight mod since the currently flashlight is literally useless in the open and NPCs just beam you at night and you have 0 hope in seeing them or shooting tjem

I would like if I could do super dark nights but it is unbearable any time you get in a fight and can't see anything cos your flashlight only works for 1 meter

also it's better to adjust your gamma not your brightness if you really do wanna tweak it @flint cliff

cos decreasing your brightness will make your days super dark

[wise flume]

I never really noticed to be honest

[wise flume]

This is the way.

[unreal raptor]

the flash light is a total joke — the latest mod that emulates the old flashlight from OG trilogy is great

[clear raft]

Modders doing the job that GSC refuses to do. Thank God for the SDK. 😅

[unreal raptor]

No idea why they don't fix the light. It's useless at the mo, just lights up your hands...

[elder beacon]

there's a mod that disables it

[exotic relic]

the Devs need to port ace's flashlight mod into console for authentic night time to be bearable otherwise you need "slightly dark" night time

[elder beacon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513215484

[wise flume]

I use customizable one... the default seems to be great

[wise flume]

I have no idea what the devs were thinking, but the game is set in like 2023 or something... not the 1800's with candle light.

[exotic relic]

1 meter range flashlight 🥀

skif just has his iPhone 16 flashlight with him

[wise flume]

and that you be about 10x brighter than the head tourch.

[supple wedge]

PS5 is happening

[sly viper]

1.5.1 not happening
yet

[hollow pelican]

1.5.1 what they doin its already delayed

[ripe thorn]

They probably want to do 1.5.1 and drop q3 roadmap at the same time

Or PS5 launch takes lots of work

They are never going to answer my question regarding upgrade USBs
Because only 1 USB is locked behind faction choice
Why can't we get that USB on both paths or just move it to non-forked mission

[drifting niche]

We need dlc announcement

[ripe thorn]

I think it's too early and base game needs tonns of polish

If they add Atleast some of the cut quests for later regions it's effectively like dlc content anyways

[supple wedge]

calm down

[lunar shadow]

Am gonna say it i like the flash light

[supple wedge]

It's late 2025.

[main frigate]

Have you seen that on the PS5 trailer Colonel is fighting somebody at the gates to the Iron Forest. Maybe its not related to anything or maybe its a tease for Iron Forest opening patch?

[supple wedge]

I tried one mod with a bright flashlight and it was terrible in underground. The old trilogy style one is better. Just needs inertia.

[supple wedge]

Yeah, nice spot

[ripe thorn]

Or it is a place with a lot of fighting when you go there initially and makes for dynamic setpiece
But I'm all in on hopium that it's new content tease

[main frigate]

You can be right but who knows actually. Iron Forest is coming 100% in near future

[ripe thorn]

I wish
I'm biggest S2 apologist, regardless of being Ukrainian I want this game to be 10/10 masterpiece

[candid plaza]

10/10 ps5 trailer

[ripe thorn]

But I prefer more content for existing zones and new one after
On the other hand, new zone will go nicely with new playerbase on ps5

[main frigate]

More side content is also very needed thats true

[ripe thorn]

I'm just freeroaming late game areas and it is soooo good visually and atmospherically but such a wasteland....

Imagine all the zones have the richness of lesser zone

[hardy bear]

It’s good if you can create your own meaning by admiring the stories these places tell not through quests or words

[main frigate]

Yeah, and more advanced random quests would be also cool. But thats propably a modder thing via SDK

[main frigate]

Agree, that's what I like that every place is unique is S2

[ripe thorn]

Like the mutant parts gave additional layer of meaning to the adventure on its own
Now I want chimaera or pseudo in my life

With improved a-life I had great shootouts in randomest of places, but the lore....
Where is my lore

[main frigate]

I like that they put effort into making this trailer. Like they created a full voicelined cutscene for this. Not only a random game shots anda sign with PS5

[ripe thorn]

Custom animations as well

I don't recognize the bunker but mb it's already someplace in game

[main frigate]

There is lore on the found PDA but would really like some more info to find in the locations which we explore (its history etc.)

Like old papers or notebooks from 1986 or 2006 when Zone was created. These things would really expand the lore

[ripe thorn]

Kinda like f3 or new vegas environmental storytelling
We have that in places

But nearly not enough

[hardy bear]

Yeah I never really wanted much of that hardcore survival stuff people kept clambering for leading up to its release, I just wanted an environment and overarching narrative that made it a reflexive experience, and it did that

[naive goblet]

WHENE THE RELEASE DATE

[static compass]

Soon™

[thin locust]

Valve time.

[naive goblet]

FINALLY IVR BEENCPLAYING ON A 1650 NOW I CAN PLAY IT WITH GOOD GRAPHIC SETTINGD

[finite dragon]

LoL how is this game still so damn broken and full of bugs and performance issues?? i played 83 hours in the launch and quit after that to wait them to fix it and i just came back to check up on things and seems like EVERYTHING is STILL as broken as it was :DD like... What?

and now they are releasing console version?? how can they be working on console version if the game does not even work on PC??? :DD

[drifting niche]

why don't they say anything about the patch

[short oak]

Me too. I personaly liked the new animations for using items,but i still think that they coud’ve added more sidequests and made a better ragdoll like it was on anomaly and radiophobia 3!

[hardy bear]

More content is always nice

[naive goblet]

is it likely to come out this months

[ancient loom]

I watched a video where a guy said the Drowned doesn’t jam but the first time I fired it, it jammed straight away lol he said that it’s a feature of the gun no jamming and can’t break. Is this correct?

[tranquil tartan]

Wow thats a really nice trailer. Maybe A life 2 is nicer

[ancient loom]

Is there a mod channel?

[celest goblet]

#en-mods-general

[ancient loom]

Thanks. Is there a way to get it to show up in the list?

[exotic relic]

top of the channel list says
"browse channels"
click that @ancient loom

and then scroll down to mods

it also means you can remove the Ukrainian channels too plus other unecissary channels since there is way too many

[ancient loom]

Thanks bro

[feral apex]

Never really cared for this game on pc but ps5 pro is going to be something I’m sure

[static compass]

And Helldivers is coming to Xbox

More divers lesgoo

[nimble cipher]

legendgamer1870 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[plain minnow]

I’m actually preordering that tomorrow when the money comes in

Current playthrough is going fine so far, no bugs, think I might keep the default sight for my GP-37

[feral apex]

I'll be there to support!

[static compass]

[vocal pewter]

Hey all any help would be greatly appreciated. Im recieveing a message on my xbox series x when booting the game up that my mods are unavailable. Says "according to the privacy settings your account is not eligible to interact with user-generated content. All previously installed mods are disabled" why am I recieving this. Yesterday I had no issues downloading and playing with mods. Today I turn it on to that. Please help!

[naive goblet]

helldivers was traded for stalker.. my conspiracy

[hazy helm]

if it means more idiots fighht each other bc more games were released on more platforms
do it more

[lucid pagoda]

When I've had that message pop up I just close the game and restart then it tends to be fine

[drifting niche]

What happened to the patch

[terse swallow]

so any mods that ppl think are essential/super cool since tools dropped?

[winter stump]

Night Vision

[timber sequoia]

Lets go

[terse swallow]

a proper night vision mod got made? 😮

[winter stump]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1180

Yes, it works incredibly well too. Fascinating how the devs weren't capable of this.

It's not just a reshade, night & day difference when you turn it on.

[hollow pelican]

Why are 8 people disliking announcement xD

[twilit mist]

something wrong with newest patch? why so many thumbs down?

[hollow pelican]

Dont tell me that flying issue got worse 💀

[warped relic]

Gonna miss those flying ragdolls

[short oak]

Attention stalkers! An emmission is comming with new patch!

[tranquil tartan]

WOW amazing update, what would be more amazing is A life 2!

[covert stone]

Does it work ok with 1.5?

[winter stump]

Yes.

[covert stone]

Cheers 🙏🏽

[storm kernel]

nah

[hollow pelican]

I would suggest they should just focus on one thing on each patch they do from now on begining 1.6 with performance lighting optimization

[covert stone]

Gonna be so good when stalker 2 is finished 👻

[storm kernel]

emissions arent real, it's just freedomers trying to steal all the good artifacts and replacing them with bad ones!

[hollow pelican]

I never got any rare artifact in 30 hrs of playtime bru

Yeah the lighting is so messed up sometimes, theres a lumen mod on nexus that makes it a bit better at least

[covert stone]

It was released unfinished bro

[storm kernel]

nah

[covert stone]

Are you fr

[tranquil tartan]

these devs are amazing releasing the game on another platform unfinished gotta love it

[storm kernel]

a life and ai was bugged but it was so peak

[covert stone]

Or am I being rage baited

[storm kernel]

goty 2024

[hollow pelican]

Lacking in some aspects like nvg , side quests and render distance

[storm kernel]

on my soul stalker 2 best game of 2024

[hollow pelican]

goty 2024 was astrobot 🤣🤣

[covert stone]

I love the game dont get me wrong but it was unfinished

[hollow pelican]

Tga awards kinda like a joke after that

[tranquil tartan]

ngl you shouldnt have an opinion

[covert stone]

Real

[storm kernel]

tga been a joke since overwatch somehow beat doom 2016 and dark souls 3

[hollow pelican]

Fr

[storm kernel]

ngl sounds like u just got filtered

[manic oriole]

Is 1.5.1 gonna break all my mods again? 🥲

[tranquil tartan]

I finshed it man lmao

[hollow pelican]

No i dont think so

[manic oriole]

Pray

[hollow pelican]

Since it dont use skse or anything like that

[tranquil tartan]

shit ending too fetch quests unfinished go here open 20 valves ok now go here pick up this

[hollow pelican]

Kill this guy and kill that guy

Why? Coz i said so

At least reward was worth it

The lesser zone and garbage had best quests wild islands was also scary but swamps suck

[storm kernel]

swamps are peak atmosphere

moody as hell

[covert stone]

It said no in the patch notes

[naive goblet]

did they do optimization in this update?

[molten void]

So any major bugs this patch to know of?

[ripe patrol]

1.5.1? it just dropped so no one has tried much yet

[candid plaza]

how big is 1.5.1

[dire nimbus]

the biggest update

[candid plaza]

in terms of gb

[dire nimbus]

idk maybe 5mb

[candid plaza]

i liked when npcs flew after headshot 😡

[zenith creek]

OG Stalker had mutant loot

[dire nimbus]

yeah but not tacticool guns

[winter stump]

Why did you delete your posts lmao.

[static compass]

Only SoC

[dire nimbus]

never finished soc only clear sky and half trough cop thats why i remember why they had no mutant loot

[winter stump]

You should probably beat the first game, considering how good it is.

[dire nimbus]

got burn out in the lab where miracle machine is

i enjoyed clear sky the most best atmosphere

[flint cliff]

Today on xbox non there is a update and now 2 mod doesn't work. Better ballistic and Realistic death 😒

You?

[dire nimbus]

shouldnt mod the game in such an early state

game is only like 10% finished (content) hope it wont become gamma 6.0

[dense jackal]

Better ballistics doesn't work now?

[winter stump]

If you don't mod the game in its current state, you might as well not even play it lmao. It needs mods.

[flint cliff]

Yes 😒

[dense jackal]

Whelp it's time to check if mine works or I'm breaking a TV

[dire nimbus]

i enjoy the game 100% vanilla unlike other stalker games rip to the playstation players will never get mods

[dense jackal]

At least their saves won't break so that's a plus for them

[dire nimbus]

still no custom guns and stuff rather get my save breaking at 99% of the story than playing without my aks-74us

[dense jackal]

That's sadly true

[tiny token]

I know the artist of that twink link 🐱

[winter stump]

I bet you do.

Also, your house looked like shit.

[gritty knot]

[hearty compass]

"Fixed an issue when the A-life mutants and NPCs could be found in the restricted areas (such as Hubs, Main Quest locations, etc."

so does that mean that the hub npcs are still going to be static like in zalissya again or? i really liked that i found a guy i met outside chilling at the campfire in zali after i came back from my quest

and that when i went to the hub in garbage they were being attacked by mutants but fought em off, it made it feel really alive

[molten void]

If I had to guess, it means like INSERTSPOILERSHERE & mutants

PMed you one I saw

[hearty compass]

ooooh yes that makes sense i assume thats what they fixed lol

[zinc apex]

Stalger 2

[river minnow]

Is ||Kruglov|| supposed to die at the start of ||take radiation measurements||?

Bc as soon as he steps out of the ||lab|| he gets lit up by zombies

[ripe thorn]

That's a question for EE trilogy topics

[indigo marsh]

You can progress through the story even if he dies

[flint cliff]

Better ballistic now is ok in Xbox

[indigo marsh]

You can keep him alive if you want

[dense jackal]

Good to hear

[hearty compass]

but no lol youre supposed to protect the little egghead

try your best brother i believe in you

[worthy lagoon]

What if i still play modded xray engine

[winter stump]

Have fun with it I suppose?

[hearty compass]

yeah i am 99.999% sure thats what they meant by the way, just saw an a-life squad walk into slagheap from beyond the hill (nvm just one of the hub patrols)

[boreal mountain]

is the game running better yet?

[surreal yarrow]

Hey guys, after installing games and stalker trilogy and 2 I got left ~100 gb on my 1tb SSD drive. Is it okay? And won't it break?

[static compass]

What do you mean?

[surreal yarrow]

Like with that much space left will my pc be okay?

[static compass]

Should be yeah

@dire dagger Thoughts?

[dire dagger]

I mean

That’s the whole point lol

Technically when you get close to filling an ssd they get slightly slower but that’s all that happens

[static compass]

As long as you've got some space for updates I suppose it's fine

It won't break your PC if that's what you're asking

[surreal yarrow]

2 years ago I wouldn't even worry about filling whole disk. Maybe I get older....

[surreal yarrow]

Thanks man

[static compass]

You're welcome

[spare crater]

just noticed knife animation for stealth kill has become an anomaly.

also found out mods disable the facial animations for dead npcs.

SSDs are designed to be filled. Especially since they already have preset redundancies. Whenever you buy a 2tb SSD for example, you only really get to use 1.8 - 1.9tb, but you can fill all of it.

That being said, constantly writing & overwriting shit eventually wears it out.

[thick wolf]

It's probably a good opportunity to have a big feature push at the same time to boost sales

e.g. a 2.0 version

[glass sleet]

Do they have a dead zone setting for controller yet?

[thick wolf]

Yea

It can feel pretty good once you configure it. I'm on xbox

[supple wedge]

Pc does as well.

[orchid gale]

What’s up handsomes

[orchid gale]

God you’re so cute

[static compass]

I'm no PC expert tbh

[orchid gale]

You’re perfect the way you are 🥹

[static compass]

Yay

[orchid gale]

I am building another new pc

[static compass]

Noice

After I move I plan to get a better one

Right now I'm stuck with a laptop

[orchid gale]

I have a laptop too!

[static compass]

[orchid gale]

I’m trying to sell it but no one wants it lol

Do you have a cooling pad for it?!?!

[static compass]

I don't... but I probably should with how hot it gets

[orchid gale]

It’s a good idea It helps so much ngl

Dropped the temps by 15c

[static compass]

Those multi hour Helldiver sessions take a toll

[orchid gale]

I didn’t even check if he’ll divers 2 is on sale with the steam summer sale

We still have to play it

[static compass]

Not sure, but it's coming to Xbox soon

So more divers, yay

[orchid gale]

Imma go buy it

[orchid gale]

Wait it’s coming to gamepass?

[static compass]

No, just coming to Xbox

[orchid gale]

Damn

[static compass]

Sadly not gamepass

Comes out August 26th

Maybe they'll do an ODST crossover

That would be based

[orchid gale]

If it’s on sale I’ll just buy it

[orchid gale]

That would be fire ngl as long as they add Emile from halo reach

[static compass]

Someone already made an OSDT warbond concept

[orchid gale]

Damn it’s still 40$ 😔

[orchid gale]

Oo what weapon! Spartan lazer?!?!

[dense jackal]

I just saw some grasshopper I didn't know they were in the game

[supple wedge]

Seems like a good price. The game isn’t exactly old.

[orchid gale]

Yeah but I’m also not working rn and I don’t wanna go back

[supple wedge]

The ol’ time vs money trade off.

[frozen yacht]

did 1.5.1 break any mods?

[dense jackal]

Some people have been saying bb but it varies from person to person

[frozen yacht]

bb?

[dense jackal]

Better ballistics

[frozen yacht]

ahh

im seeing reports of mass crashing now is that accurate

[dense jackal]

For me no but you might get tho cuz again it varies from person to person

[supple wedge]

Where?

[frozen yacht]

reddit

[supple wedge]

That’s where I just checked and couldn’t find people saying it.

[naive goblet]

when is S2 coming to PS5 do we know which quarter of the year?

[supple wedge]

Q4

[naive goblet]

Shiiitt mannn praying for october release.

[supple wedge]

For clarity they said “Late 2025”. Make of that what you will.

[wooden slate]

anyone know how to make stalker 2 perform better its stuck at the same framerate with low graphics settings and epic graphics settings. i got a 9800x3d so i should be getting good performance but im not. my fps is set to no limits

[naive goblet]

Cap your framerates.

[tribal portal]

i have this in fallout 4

no matter which graphics i use i am stuck at 80fps

[wooden slate]

idk what it is im deleting the appdata directory to get rid of mod changes

played this game back in january and got pretty decent fps with the same setup

[naive goblet]

no matter what improvements you make you’ll always be limited by the limitations of the human body and your genetics.

[sturdy tusk]

Thats how I feel, long as it looks good enough to my eyes idk what fps it is

And the default 60 works just fine for me

[supple wedge]

What is bad performance?

[wooden slate]

im getting like 35-40 fps and some slight stuttering and changing graphics does nothing. suspectings its something inside of the game itself. I have a 9800x3d so cpu bottleneck is impossible. Had a cpu bottleneck back in november/december when i tried to play this game and it was unplayable 24 fps

[supple wedge]

Yeah, that’s not right, I’m getting a locked 60 with the 9800

I asked because sometimes people aren’t saturating 144hz and call that “bad performance”

[tribal portal]

whats your gpu amd is your display connected to the graphics card

[wooden slate]

rtx 4070 super

[supple wedge]

Not sure that’s particularly relevant.

9800x3d and a 4070S getting 35-40 fps at low settings isn’t expected.

[wooden slate]

stalker 2 is cpu bound so this is not relevant

[wraith socket]

How much Ram do you have? SSD Storage?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[supple wedge]

I wasn’t the one asking the question. It’s working fine for me.
FruitSlicer has those specs and is having issues.

[wraith socket]

I was just responding to the specs you provided and saying GSC's recommended settings were not relevant.

[elder beacon]

what are your exact settings

im on a 4070 + 75800x3d + 32gb 3600mhz

i get a minimum frame of 60 max of 107

i run textures - shadows - effects on high everything else on low

i use fsr 3.1 on aa native with 65% sharpening

no frame gen

[wraith socket]

To anyone just mentioning your video card, or even adding your CPU
and complaining about your frame rates, without giving info on Ram,
SSD storage and many other details, like Tom above, you're not giving
us the whole picture. There are so many settings that can affect that.

[supple wedge]

Then ask for that and don't just show that very arbitrary specs sheet.

That specs sheet is either wrong or misleading.

And I say that as a person who personally doesn't have issues with framerate. So I'm not just being salty.

[wraith socket]

That is what GSC provided. If you don't find it useful, that's not my fault.

[wooden slate]

i got 32gb ram and ssd

[wooden slate]

everything is on epic except hair and shadows which are on low and medium

[elder beacon]

thats your problem

[wooden slate]

ye but in the message i said even on low, i restarted the game and it was the same fps

[wraith socket]

Try the High setting then.

[wooden slate]

like every setting on low

[elder beacon]

this game is drunk

and its so unoptimized that we have no perspective on how much impact settings have

[wooden slate]

ive tried high medium low and epic and there is legit no difference in FPS

restarting the game each time i changed settings

[elder beacon]

what mods are you using

[wooden slate]

vanilla

im gonna do a complete fresh reinstall to get rid of any leftover data maybe

if i havent done one before

[elder beacon]

start by verify the files

verifying the game files

if that doesn't work, do you use any programs like wallpaper engine

anything that's constantly rendering

[wooden slate]

no

a few weeks ago my boot drive died, had to do a complete reinstall of windows

completely fresh windows

[elder beacon]

11?

[wooden slate]

10 enterprise

tried 11 dont like it

[elder beacon]

what are your temperatures like

[supple wedge]

asrock motherboard? x3d chips had issues with them and games

[elder beacon]

good shout

[wooden slate]

i fixed it by deleting everything in the stalker 2 steam install folder then verifying files and that magically fixed it? i dont know why but i get a playable 65-70 fps now and the lighting delay bug is gone now

[wraith socket]

It can really be a mystery sometimes, with so many people having different hardware and software settings from each other.
There are many people here who have finished the game with no problems, and many others that can't even get it to launch.

[wooden slate]

guess something was going wrong during the install because i also did a fresh reinstall of stalker 2 yesterday and had the same fps problems

[analog helm]

maybe something to do with shaders recompilation. If it caches it - that could be the reason

[mint helm]

I has a stutter/lag spike every now an again but nothing major - Settings are Low-Med @ 1080p: 11600K, 32GB Ram ,NVME SSD and a 3060

[empty gorge]

@karmic seal oops

[tribal portal]

lmaooo i just scored a 3 pointer with a ipsf soldier

he flew so high he fell on top of antenna

[tribal portal]

my game feels awful at optimised settings with 9800x3d 3090ti at 1440p

[candid plaza]

no nvidia fg sadly for 30 series 😭 thats why i retired my 3080

[tribal portal]

they hinted it at CES but still nothing of it

doubt they will give us official FG for 30 series

[dire dagger]

Frame gen is ass bro

[tribal portal]

since all nvidia cares nowadays is profit

[dire dagger]

How about instead of generating frames you go generate your self some bitches

[tribal portal]

I dont need bitches i got monolith

[dire dagger]

I got adderall pills

[tribal portal]

yes and no

[dire dagger]

Game can’t accept inputs on generated frames so

👎

[mint helm]

Only thing that's noticeably is the Hair Textures at low and the aura around npc's during cutscenes

[ripe patrol]

Hot take: Frame Gen is amazing but people hate it cuz they play at 60fps with frame gen and the it feels like dookie. Having 45fps+ (80-90 with framegen ex) is paramount to having decent experience

[hazy helm]

Áce, you shouldnt say bad opinions

we need you having good opinion to eventualy get hired by GSC and make ALife

[ripe patrol]

The problem is not framegen and Nvidia, problem is unoptimized games or people thinking frame Gen allows them to run the game at max settings

[empty gorge]

wym flew so high? flying ragdoll not fixed?

[tribal portal]

no

[late crater]

Yo wsg yall

[ripe patrol]

You mean Shay? Lol I have nothing to do with alife

[empty gorge]

wym no? ay papi

[ripe patrol]

Only visuals and VFX stuff

[hazy helm]

you are the gateway to the plan... youll get shay in... youll see...

[tribal portal]

not fixed i updated my game yesterday

[candid plaza]

im having 200 fps on x3 fg with 50 ms input on dlaa everything on epic and honestly it feels way better than when i played on my 3080

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

Frame gen is so terrible

[dire dagger]

You need 90 to 120 fps before frame gen is even semi useful

[ripe patrol]

I already told GSC guys that Shay should be CEO

[empty gorge]

[dire dagger]

[empty gorge]

[ripe patrol]

Wrong. If the game plays at 45-60 you're already getting good frame time and input lag, Like you're used to

[ripe patrol]

You can try new transformer version if you want cuz now it's butter smooth

[hazy helm]

framegen is a joke bc its usually marketed by people as a ho your poor? use this!
when in reality, framegen is only really useful for 4k and if you use it at an ACTUALLY useful resoltuion, its completely useless. people use 1080p

[orchid gale]

Nah frame gens bad because it makes the game feel like it’s playing at 50 fps regardless of the actual frames your getting due to the input lag

[tribal portal]

I use dlaa+fsr fg game runs smooth but damn the ghosting is annoying

[empty gorge]

frame gen bad cus fake frames, finito

[hazy helm]

upscaling in and of itself is a complete joke made to appease lobotomites who only think that multiplying their screen size will get them happiness and validation

[dire dagger]

When I tried it getting 80 I found the input lag unbearable

[orchid gale]

Frame gen bad because it’s not a 6ft tall girl who puts cigarettes out on me

[dire dagger]

[tribal portal]

awchyally makes the game sharper

[empty gorge]

but i can fix her

[hazy helm]

you should fix alife first

[orchid gale]

No she’s going to fix ME

[hazy helm]

[tribal portal]

80 base or 80 with fg

[empty gorge]

alife is so dank and unique, gsc put patent on it and has not shown any proper sign of 2.0 in 8 months, they really building up the hype

[orchid gale]

I did a cardinal sin with my new computer GPU 😔

[dire dagger]

80 base

[tribal portal]

pc issue ig

do you have reflex turned on

[empty gorge]

expert marketing strategists at the helm of gsc, expertly navigating the current

[ripe patrol]

Skill issue. I have 45 base and 45ms input lag which compared to like 42 without FG

[orchid gale]

Jack what are you playing to get 80 fps your cards a tank ?!?

[dire dagger]

45ms is unplayable

[empty gorge]

45MS INPUT LAG WTF

[dire dagger]

You crazy bro

[empty gorge]

i crash out above 15 wtf

like if i get 10-15 thats a no, wym 45 ace

[tribal portal]

you arent playing call of duty

[ripe patrol]

Broh wtf are you guys even on

[dire dagger]

What are you on bro

[empty gorge]

im playing medal of honor okay

[ripe patrol]

Base 45fps without any deferring is about 20ms

[dire dagger]

[tribal portal]

why do you need so low response rate

[empty gorge]

idk it just feels smoother

[orchid gale]

45ms input lag is genuinely unplayable

Aiming is impossible

[dire dagger]

That’s multiple frames of lag

[empty gorge]

the lower the smoother, i dont care if im playing tetris, give me a smooth experience

[tribal portal]

hey they fixed the checkmark

[orchid gale]

💯s always been the real man’s checkmark anyway

[empty gorge]

ace really gave an opinion that had him like that meme of the guy standing up and being honest

[tribal portal]

imma throw my 3090ti into trash and buy 9070xt fr

[empty gorge]

"what opinion got you like this"

[ripe patrol]

When playing a game at 60Hz with 45fps, the maximum input lag due to the refresh rate is approximately 22.2ms, and an additional 22.2ms due to the frame rate, for a total of roughly 44.4ms.

[orchid gale]

I picked up a 4080 super oc for kinda a steal yesterday and I’m so happy about it

[tribal portal]

good for you

[orchid gale]

Thanks!

[dire dagger]

That’s like doubling your input lag

[ripe patrol]

This math is wrong it should be more like 38ms

[dire dagger]

I traded my 3090 for a 9070 xt

I love it

[ripe patrol]

This is without framegen

[empty gorge]

aint no way i get that tho? i get like 110 fps with fsr and i got like max 16ms

[tribal portal]

nobody wants to trade my 3090ti for one

[empty gorge]

base i run like 65

[ripe patrol]

Y'all confusing monitor refresh rate input and delivering a frame

[tribal portal]

its in great condition too lmao

[dire dagger]

Why would they it’s worse

Lmao

Direct downgrade in very way

[tribal portal]

you traded your 3090

[dire dagger]

No

I didn’t mean literally

[orchid gale]

Yeah but jacks handsome

[dire dagger]

lol

I swapped it

I still have it on my self lol

[orchid gale]

Lemme mine crypto on it

[dire dagger]

Nah

[tribal portal]

i had someone offering me 700 for it

[dire dagger]

That’s about what it’s worth imo

[orchid gale]

Or dual slot it and run fsr and dlss

[orchid gale]

USD?

[tribal portal]

had someone offer me 2 waterblocked 2080ti for it aswell

[tribal portal]

yuro

another dood tried to trade me a 3090ti for 3090ti

he had msi suprimx

[orchid gale]

In Canadian prices that’s a steal ngl

[dire dagger]

I’ll trade you a direct downgrade for an upgrade

What a steal

[ripe patrol]

Yes at 65 fps you'll have a frame time of about 17ms, then you add the delay of the monitor to refresh the frame, at 120hz (which I assume you have a high refresh rate monitor) you add another 6-7ms, with fsr you pretty much double your base render input lag which is another 17ms, you're running at about 40ms and you don't even know it

[orchid gale]

You shoulda robbed that man

[tribal portal]

i like my metal brick

its like 5lb in it

[ripe patrol]

Download Special K to measure your actual frame delay, not just input lag

[orchid gale]

Yo this guys a nerd

[ripe patrol]

Das me

[tribal portal]

downgrade to stupid

someone offered me 60 for a brand new 6600xt

i love ebay

[ripe patrol]

I guess Nvidia reflex will just show you the GPU render and frame times, which is not the whole picture of rendering and displaying a new frame on your monitor

Also, fake frames have existed well before Frame Gen. Frame Gen is just AI powered so they really let you render a whole frame instead of parts of a frame using temporal data

[orchid gale]

Honestly frame gen auto turned on once while I was playing delta force and I just thought my game was lagging really bad

The input lag was so noticeable I spawned in looked to my left and instantly opened settings

[ripe patrol]

And by AI powered I don't mean AI software ffs. I mean complex die architecture in your GPU that can handle such math at high speeds

[orchid gale]

Only AI I need is the spicychat AI ong

[ripe patrol]

I think good frame Gen requires tinkering which is not optimal for the layman. I use software and NVIDIA hacks to make sure im getting the best out of it. Reflex + boost does an amazing job at keeping the pacing stable but you pay it back in losing frames

[dire dagger]

Chud logic spicy chat

https://tenor.com/view/chudlogic-chud-logic-evil-gang-evil-gif-11587451429599961940

[ripe patrol]

Anyways, the tech is obviously evolving. Transformer model goes hard if you want to try forcing that via de NVIDIA app. You can also try to force a better experience reflex + boost using Special K software for example, but it's not very intuitive to use, and will make hooking sw like Reshade not work

[orchid gale]

Trade me GPUs

[dire dagger]

No

[orchid gale]

🥺👉👈

You don’t even know what gpu I have

[hazy helm]

jack you got a spare m.2 right?

[dire dagger]

You have a 4080 super

[orchid gale]

Correction 4080 super OC

Please 12vhp scares me

[dire dagger]

I sold my last spare one a little while back

[orchid gale]

It’s going to burn my house down

[dire dagger]

To fellow stoc member @outer marten

[hazy helm]

damn

Ill postpone getting one then

[orchid gale]

Samsung 990 evos are cheap on Amazon rn for prime day

[hazy helm]

Ill prolly get one of those Crucial P310

[orchid gale]

Iirc crucial p3s are super inconsistent

[tribal portal]

990 evo are yuck

[orchid gale]

Prone to failure

[tribal portal]

true

wd sn770 are good option

[orchid gale]

990 evos are a step in the right direction for me

Kingston nv3s are my vice

Mhmmmmm cheap storage I love gambling on cheap storage

[tribal portal]

the " 5th gen "

which is a lie since its 2 lanes

[orchid gale]

Yeah but 77 cad a terabyte

Sometimes I put 77$ on black and when it hits I’ll buy storage just so I can gamble twice in one day

[tribal portal]

just get a 990 pro

they are known for their reliability

[orchid gale]

Hell nah that’s 150 a tb for me

The evo is 100

[tribal portal]

what the

what currency

[orchid gale]

CAD

[tribal portal]

i suppose then get the evo

its a cacheless ssd i think

[orchid gale]

Yeahhh I love cheap storage anyway makes me smile

I cheap out on storage, cpu coolers and psus because free will

My psu costed less then my nvme did 😌

[tribal portal]

bomb

one day your whole pc just gonna get fried

[orchid gale]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-gif-27535478

[orchid gale]

Well thermalright is just goated I’ve decided

But yeah I found an MSI 850 watt psu for like 113 on Amazon for prime day and I just decided to gamble on it

[tribal portal]

had a friend do a dum dum

[orchid gale]

What they do?!?

[tribal portal]

he bought 1200w psu from his friend

but didn't use the new psu cables kept the old

[orchid gale]

Didn’t swap the cables?!?

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

Omfg my roommate did a similar thing

[tribal portal]

luckily he didn't fry the whole pc

[orchid gale]

So he’s stubborn and I was helping him build a pc, I told him to swap the cables that give the ssd power but he didn’t want to and refused to listen

Fried his hard drive

[celest blaze]

[orchid gale]

What got crispy!?!

[tribal portal]

nvme gpu and motherboard

his cpu survived somehow

[orchid gale]

Noooooooooo

Legit two worse things to blow up ngl

[celest blaze]

a good lesson though

[orchid gale]

For trouble shooting

[tribal portal]

laziness got him good

[orchid gale]

You could teach me a lesson I bet 😏

[celest blaze]

[tribal portal]

chill

[orchid gale]

Sorry, I am contractually obligated to flirt with based D

[celest blaze]

ong

[orchid gale]

I mean like don’t get me wrong I’ve taken some “creative liberties” when building PCs

[tribal portal]

i did it on veteran difficulty

itx for my first pc

2.5k build

everything worked surprisingly

but broke off the gpu clip last time i took out the gpu for cleaning

now its just being held in by the screws

[orchid gale]

My first build I took the cpu out of the pc while it was running because the power button didn’t work

And I didn’t put the cooler on yet

[tribal portal]

not surprising since the gpu itself is like 2.2kg

[orchid gale]

So I panicked

[tribal portal]

pain in the ass to put inside

[tribal portal]

damn

[orchid gale]

I LOVE mini PCs!! They are so cute

[tribal portal]

biggest pain was actually power button front io cables

corsair didn't bundle them together

so i had to figure out where each one of them goes

[orchid gale]

I helped my friend build an itx and it went surprisingly smooth, it had a vertical amount for the GPU but the cpu cooler he bought was buns so he has to run his cpu in eco mode to avoid thermal throttling

[orchid gale]

I like this game lowkey 🙂

[tribal portal]

not in itx because everything is so cramped

[orchid gale]

I have baby fingers that’s why he made me help him

But I feel like it depends on the case, his front panel was easily assessable which made it nice

[tribal portal]

I have gigantic hands

actually made me cry how annoying it was

[orchid gale]

I will help you build all the itx PCs

God made me have the build of a 13 year old imma put it to good use

[tribal portal]

you are Salem tech experts guy

racoon like fingers

[orchid gale]

Tiny raccoon like fingers

[orchid gale]

Haha yeah!

[tribal portal]

hes fun to watch

linus got boring

[orchid gale]

Nexus for politcal views

Racoon fingers guy for enjoyment

[tribal portal]

hope i get to build more PCs since i really enjoy it

[orchid gale]

I never liked Linus much, I like his video where he made a pc that had a radiator on both sides and the case was like 70lbs tho

[orchid gale]

I know me too 🙂 I low-key put myself in debt building this newest one

[tribal portal]

samee

my cpu was not adequate so i returned it first week

[orchid gale]

What did ya end up getting :p

[tribal portal]

7600x3d

returned for 9800x3d

[orchid gale]

I just got yours but without the 3d

It was 200 cad on prime day!

[orchid gale]

This is the way

[tribal portal]

where can i show you

[mint helm]

DM's

[orchid gale]

Dm or off topic has image perms

[tribal portal]

quite proud of what i managed

[mint helm]

I also need to upgrade cpu

[storm kernel]

make a mini PC with a 5090 and Core Ultra 9 285k, you now have a cute little fire hazard!

[celest blaze]

god man i wanna all out so bad but i mainly play older games so its already overkill with what i have 💀

i wanna know what its like to have a 5090 and an overclocked top of the line i9

[orchid gale]

I9 14900k would be the real fire hazard

And don’t upgrade the bios version

[orchid gale]

Get the 6000 series 96 gb vram

[tribal portal]

overclock it too

[orchid gale]

With a cheap Chinesium red dragon power supply

Rgb mandatory

[tribal portal]

doubt it would let itself be overclocked when it crashes at its standard frequency

[orchid gale]

I’m going to take off the motherboard transistors

It couldn’t stop the overclock if it wanted to

[tribal portal]

aircool it for maximum throttle

[orchid gale]

And then eat them, like tic tacks

[celest blaze]

will do

[orchid gale]

But a stock air cooler from the an i9 9600

[orchid gale]

(Don’t it’s like 12 grand and it’s a server GPU)

[tribal portal]

only need like how much 10k

[orchid gale]

USD maybe haha we only speak Monopoly money tho

[tribal portal]

some guy just reminded me of bmw drivers and how last week i almost slammed into one going 50

[orchid gale]

Can we do a custom hardline loop!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹

[tribal portal]

let me pay 200 for the water pump alone

[orchid gale]

Km or mp

[orchid gale]

Yesssssssssss

[tribal portal]

km

[orchid gale]

Ah they woulda been fineeee

[tribal portal]

turned on right blinkers then slammed on the brakes and turned left

[orchid gale]

Average bmw moment

[tribal portal]

with the right blinker still on

[orchid gale]

Honestly at least they used their turn signal though

Baby steps, baby steps

[tribal portal]

is there like a special driving school for future bmw drivers

feels like it since i only see bmw drivers not use them

[orchid gale]

Yeah it’s called daddy’s money ed I believe

Need to get grandfathered into it though

Do you have a focus rs?!?

[tribal portal]

i wish

those early 2010s look fire

[orchid gale]

Dang we coulda been twining

I have a 2017 one I just know they are popular in Europe

[tribal portal]

those are good looking too

[orchid gale]

They look like little beetles haha

[tribal portal]

i dont have expensive car myself yet im only 22

[orchid gale]

Having a car that goes stu stu stu is what boosts my status from twink to femboy

[tribal portal]

ffff-femboy you say

[orchid gale]

Haha yeah

[tribal portal]

😳

[orchid gale]

I’m 22 aswell but god said it was time to be a train conductor

[tribal portal]

good for you im still stuck doing apprenticeship

[orchid gale]

Pain

[tribal portal]

my car cost 1.5k tops

[orchid gale]

I love my cars they make the pain subside slightly

[tribal portal]

but i drive dad's car every next week

[orchid gale]

In cad that like 80 grand tho

[tribal portal]

2k cad

[orchid gale]

Same difference

[tribal portal]

yeah i make that money in 3 months 😭

poor asfuck I just wanna be done with this shi soni can be earning big money

[orchid gale]

[orchid gale]

Valorant !?!

[tribal portal]

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

War thunder ?!?

[tribal portal]

my mental illness for the last 10y

stalker broke it tho i cant even go back to playing that slop

[orchid gale]

I’ve never played it, people always tell me to stay away and it’s not worth it

[tribal portal]

good.

[orchid gale]

Like a toxic ex

[tribal portal]

indeed

toxic relationship with that game

[orchid gale]

Toxic relationship with me instead 😔👉👈

[tribal portal]

but it always draws you back to it no matter what you do

i considered deleting the account but thats 20k down the drain

[orchid gale]

I had this problem with Stalcraft once

[orchid gale]

What about selling the account?!?

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

Dang no way to unlink it

[tribal portal]

not really

[orchid gale]

It’s truly so over

[tribal portal]

its a long procedure

the game actively forces you to spend money because the grind is truly awful

[orchid gale]

BuT iTs f2p

[tribal portal]

sure is if you want to play 30h to unlock single vehicle

[orchid gale]

I want a miku tank skin

[tribal portal]

oh you have it

[orchid gale]

No I’m jus trying to relate 😔

[tribal portal]

no its there

[orchid gale]

Wait Fr ? Haha

[tribal portal]

the playerbase mostly consists of mentally ill or femboys or furries or far righters

[orchid gale]

Best playerbase spread imo

[tribal portal]

if you come in normal you arent coming out normal

[dire dagger]

Look man far righters are funniest guys to find in online games

Cus they’ll still say gamer words

[tribal portal]

trap

i will not respond to that

[orchid gale]

If you dont say gamer words are you really a gamer?

[tribal portal]

oh hey a ch 53 helicopter

[orchid gale]

But no haha, on a real note there’s a game on the steam summer sale I wanna play so bad

It’s like an old war game 150 v 150 it’s only like 13$ I forgot what it’s called though

I looked it up, it’s holdfast nations at war

[tribal portal]

no cap wt made me question my sexuality

[orchid gale]

Wt?!?

[tribal portal]

i was so deep the rabbithole

[orchid gale]

Oh war thunder

[tribal portal]

i was for 2y with a mentally unstable femboy

[orchid gale]

Mentally unstable is fun, but only sometimes

[tribal portal]

no it aint

[orchid gale]

There’s different levels of it

[tribal portal]

he would get hurt by even simplest shit and then it would be sitting till 3am apologising

[orchid gale]

Needy, clingy, suffocation type is fire

[orchid gale]

Oh yeah that’s cringe

[tribal portal]

i can blame war thunder for my balding

the stress the sleepless nights

[orchid gale]

I blame gambling for mine

[orchid gale]

The grind don’t stop

[tribal portal]

now instead of playing war thunder whole day and wasting money i go cheeki breeki in the zone

[orchid gale]

Once my new parts come in I’m going to revisit stalker 2 I can’t wait

I just know my 4070 laptop would melt itself trying to run it

[tribal portal]

real

oh yeah and has made me socially awkward like many others

[orchid gale]

Ok genuinely, I think Covid gave me autism

[tribal portal]

covid was best time for me

i had a girlfriend i know no way for a war thunder player

[dire dagger]

Hell no everyone has

[orchid gale]

I was like an outgoing guy, after Covid I don’t leave my house and loud noises bother me

[dire dagger]

If you say otherwise you just coping

[tribal portal]

real war thunder gave me stupidity

i was a smart guy in med school now i can barely make sentences

[orchid gale]

I miss when I had a gf, god needs to drop the tall scary female dlc for me ngl

[tribal portal]

need god to unlock me the tall goth girl dlc

[orchid gale]

Tall goth with optional strap cosmetic when?!?

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

That lowkey might get me nuked but I said what I said

[tribal portal]

i want to be normal again 😭

[orchid gale]

I got ruined at 16 haha it is far to late for me

[dire dagger]

Gear head girls expansion pack

[orchid gale]

YES

But not the miata ones

[tribal portal]

i dont fit with my own generation anymore

[dire dagger]

Me neither im too jaded

[orchid gale]

Nah too off the meds

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

I like one of them

SYBAU has its uses occasionally

[tribal portal]

[dire dagger]

Skibidi rizz

[dire dagger]

Praise skibidi or perish

[tribal portal]

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

Yeah lol pretty sure

[tribal portal]

OH MY GOD FULL VOLUME TIKTOK

[twilit mist]

Will the game get story expansion/DLC at some point? Have the Devs said anything about it?

[tribal portal]

korhunov playing skif and then skif playing skif

[dire dagger]

No it’s a turkey tom tweet

[orchid gale]

I got bamboozled

[orchid gale]

Oh yeah the general guy sitting down at the tv haha?

[tribal portal]

colonel i think

[orchid gale]

Yeah smth was said about it

Nothing confirmed but we’re still waiting on a-life

[tribal portal]

cnpp dlc now

[worthy zodiac]

It will. That's why there's an ultimate edition that includes season pass

[tribal portal]

let me get brainwashed so i can serve monolith

[orchid gale]

There’s unused things and interactbles up in that area if you turn on no clip

[worthy zodiac]

I wonder if the dlc will be like an expansion to the base game or, instead, will it be some kind of new gamemode like freeplay or something

[tribal portal]

lymansk ples

[orchid gale]

Lemme get brainwashed so I can serve …

[worthy zodiac]

Yeah, and don't make it a linear shooting sequence this time

I'd love it if it was just another area with A-Life and stuff

[orchid gale]

Hopefully alternate storylines imo

[tribal portal]

need get that monolithian drip irl

[worthy zodiac]

Basically something like CS/CoP but on the same engine...

Would be kinda cool

SoC remake

[orchid gale]

I’ve tweaked for far too long in here, adios gamers and good luck in the zone

[tribal portal]

see ya

[orchid gale]

I will be back in 1 weeks time to hit on the mods again

[tribal portal]

[orchid gale]

I’ll miss you too 🥹

[sly matrix]

[orchid gale]

*flirt with

[hazy helm]

[orchid gale]

I can’t help myself, y’all are just too fine Fr

[pallid tundra]

Nice version 2.0 with ps5 release

[sly matrix]

Missed the chance to turn it into "hit on"

[orchid gale]

“It does say hit on”

[sly matrix]

...

[orchid gale]

Silly

[sly matrix]

Sometimes I hate my dyslexia

Oh shit, I misspelled "always"

[orchid gale]

Haha I thought it was a language barrier thing, that’s why I clarified

See this is what I’m talking about, just so damn cute

[mellow igloo]

guys can i play on 1660ti if i can can someone give a setting?

[twilit mist]

didnt they already implement it? wdym

[twilit mist]

oh yeah... I probably have that already hahaha

[orchid gale]

You can you’ll just have to upgrade the GPU

[worthy zodiac]

Did you buy the 110 dollars edition without looking what's included in it?

[orchid gale]

Nah A-life when?

[twilit mist]

Problem?

[worthy zodiac]

I'm playing it on the lowest settings possible on gtx1080 (~20% better than yours) with fsr 3.1 and framegen on... And I get 40-70 fps most of the time (yeah, with framegen). So yeah, you can't do much with that card of yours

[worthy zodiac]

Nah. Hope you enjoyed the game for that price

[flint cliff]

Can someone pass me the user manual? Thanks.

[twilit mist]

oh wait nvm I lied

I think I just have the normal edition, just got the preorder bonus in my dlc

[worthy zodiac]

Is there a user manual for stalker 2?

I thought new games don't do that stuff anymore since all of the tutorials are usually included in the game itself...

[flint cliff]

On Steam. There is it?

[tranquil tartan]

Thats a nice announcement but you should finish the game before releasing it on a PS5

[ripe patrol]

They still have 5 months before releasing it to PS5, hopefully by then the game will be in a pretty good state

[worthy zodiac]

#💬┃en_offtop message

I can see manuals for original games but there's nothing for stalker 2

[hearty compass]

Real

[orchid gale]

I keep it real

[static compass]

WE keep it real in the zone

[orchid gale]

The zone has NEVER been realer
