[finite dragon]

I definitely do not like broken English

I want to gain the feel of the native language

[pseudo rivet]

I think it's funny

[finite dragon]

it just adds a touch of localism

[pseudo rivet]

But for Stalker, it's a nope

[lyric forge]

Hey I have to ask, what type of haircut does Strelok have? An anomaly must’ve formed that unique hair style.

[finite dragon]

I assumed he was bald lmao

[lyric forge]

Nah he has a mountain peak for head

[pseudo rivet]

Buzz cut

[finite dragon]

nah more like mount everest

[lyric forge]

My rear end he doesn’t, that hair cut looks weird

[autumn shale]

Mount Markeverest One

[pseudo rivet]

🤷

[lyric forge]

An artifact called hair cutter should help him fix it

Pretty rare I hear

[finite dragon]

What is anomalous bread lmao

[lyric forge]

What you don’t eat the bread of the zone?

Pig, you just eat sausage

I’m still trying to find who makes it

[finite dragon]

I'll eat my Doctor Sausage thank you very much

[autumn shale]

Attention a new mobile anomaly is discovered in the Zone. It is a stalker who neither smokes nor drinks alchohol. Can be enticed into approaching with a bit of milk and cream of wheat. Detection method - within 200 meters from the anomaly Geiger counter goes off the scale.

[finite dragon]

I'm the anomaly there

[autumn shale]

same

lol

[finite dragon]

I don't even touch vodka with a 300 meter pointy stick

[autumn shale]

tbh, I just find anti rad drugs better in game

[finite dragon]

I just find the nearest rad store in chernobyl

shoot the cashier on the way

[autumn shale]

vodka makes you just drunk and wobbly

hard to aim

[lyric forge]

I think in stalker 2, they should include an EASTER EGG where you find the person in the zone that bakes this bread.

[finite dragon]

very effective tho

anti-rad and vodka

ooh boi you're in for a tough time fighting

I also don't like how Anomaly for example has this item usage limit/time-out of sorts

It gives a message saying You already have the greatest efficiency for: Radiation

or something like that

[lyric forge]

Vodka is broken in SoC, if you drink to much, your body turns into a tornado, literally swinging your screen around

[finite dragon]

SoC reminds me slightly of half-life

[lyric forge]

Gotcha drink 12+ tho

[finite dragon]

I'll drink 30+

see how my screen becomes

[pseudo rivet]

Alright, I'm back

[finite dragon]

hello crimsonji

[pseudo rivet]

Hiya Indosat

[finite dragon]

What is your opinion on Vodka and Anti-rad drugs

[lyric forge]

Oh no it’s a freedom member, go back to eating your dead comrades you savage

[pseudo rivet]

Hahah

I'd prefer an anti-radiation artifact

[lyric forge]

Anti rad cost more but doesn’t offer downsides and reduces your radiation a lot -none.

Vodka is if your on your last and broke gopnik and have nothing else.
Downsides reduce accuracy and isn’t worth it unless running thru radiated zones quickly to get back to base

Also makes you more hungry

It’s cheap stuff, don’t use it

[pseudo rivet]

There's another solution, which would please Duty soldiers

[lyric forge]

And what would that be

[pseudo rivet]

Radioprotectant can prevent radioactive poisoning

[finite dragon]

oh right we forgot about radioprotectant

that thing is like the most heaviest and most effective apparently

[pseudo rivet]

Since Duty doesn't have artifact slots, they can consume a Radioprotectant and run into a radioactive field without harm

[lyric forge]

I never use that tbh, I never use meds, only anti rad, bandages, and med kits.

[finite dragon]

I rarely use bandages or meds

I just spam medkits

[pseudo rivet]

They're pretty handy for a Duty playthrough

Cheap too

Only 350 Rubles

[finite dragon]

how much is that in usd

[pseudo rivet]

🤷

[lyric forge]

5.41 USD

[finite dragon]

damn

I could buy a hotdog

or in this case

[pseudo rivet]

450 Rubles, sorry

[finite dragon]

still I could get like two breads and 1 smoked sausage with that money

[pseudo rivet]

Comes into the Zone with a baguette

[lyric forge]

Well, very rare artifacts can go upwards of 24k in CoP, that’s only 371 USD, very good deal for its powers it gives off

[pseudo rivet]

huehue

[lyric forge]

In CoC, the heart of oasis goes for 250k, that’s 3,865 USD, pretty damn good deal.

Compass goes for 100k

[finite dragon]

I could buy probably 5 spas-12s with that money

woops

no I could make a really high-tech gaming computer irl

Money gets you somewhere in the Zone

[lyric forge]

Yeah but would you rather have that or an artifact that can heal and give you advantages nothing else can.

[pseudo rivet]

SPSA-14 is 8630 RU

I'll let Ether do the math

[lyric forge]

133 USD

[finite dragon]

wtf

[lyric forge]

Stuff is pretty cheap in the zone

[finite dragon]

spas-14s are that cheap

[lyric forge]

Yessir

[finite dragon]

woah I could own a massive arsenal with just 20K RU

wait no

250K*

turn that to irl

damn son

[lyric forge]

250k RU in the zone is considered pretty cheap tbh

[finite dragon]

true

[lyric forge]

Try 1-3 mil

That’s considered alright

[finite dragon]

lmao

[lyric forge]

I had 4.3M RU before my file went corrupt in CoP

[finite dragon]

isn't there an achievement you get

for having 1M RU at one point in the game

[lyric forge]

And I only say 1-3 mil because of how much upgrades in guns and suits are.

[finite dragon]

upgrading even a basic pistol probs rips off 600K

[lyric forge]

Upgrades such as scopes alone like NVG scopes and longer target assistant zoom scopes can go upwards of 12000 RU

[finite dragon]

possibly even higher

dang

[pseudo rivet]

A Wealthy Client

[finite dragon]

One wealthy client

hmmmmm

[pseudo rivet]

You need to obtain 100000 Rubles

[finite dragon]

What would be the most wealthiest faction in the entire Zone?

[lyric forge]

100k isn’t wealthy, that’s probs how much to buy an exo and fully upgrade it... Alone

[pseudo rivet]

Faction, you say?

[finite dragon]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

Monolith

[lyric forge]

Yeah probs monolith

[finite dragon]

I was suspecting that

[lyric forge]

They have the wish scammer, I meant granter.
50 mil RU easily

[finite dragon]

hmm

What is your opinion on the Gauss Rifle?

[pseudo rivet]

But does money actually mean something for them?

Probably not

[lyric forge]

It’s bad and gets outclassed if you know how to hit headshots

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[lyric forge]

It’s just a very expensive 1 hit

[pseudo rivet]

Still, pinpoint accuracy

[finite dragon]

from afar?

[pseudo rivet]

It's like every gun, it has it's strenghts and it's weaknesses

[lyric forge]

Yes, but who wants a guass rifle really over any other 1 tap to the head with good accuracy?

[pseudo rivet]

Pinpoint

[lyric forge]

It’s reload is trash and RoF is trash

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[lyric forge]

But the zoom is great

[pseudo rivet]

But it's almost a guaranteed kill

Exceptions being some mutants

[lyric forge]

Do you want to take multiple people out? VSS Vintorez is better off, or SVD-S

[finite dragon]

the ammo itself probably costs a lot

[lyric forge]

It’s 2000 for 10 rounds

[finite dragon]

wtf

[pseudo rivet]

SVU is the best for both Medium and Long Range Combat

[finite dragon]

true

What about SVD?

[pseudo rivet]

Vintar BC is good at Close to Medium Range with some exceptions for Long Range

[lyric forge]

What gets most stalkers is the fact that it 1 hits and is pin point accurate, no one cares about the downsides, which makes it trash.

[pseudo rivet]

SVD is purely Sniper, focused on Long Range

[finite dragon]

O

[lyric forge]

Yeah..

So unless you wanna waste 2000 for 10 rounds on an electric gun, be my guest, the only reason I used it was to 1 tap chimeras and the mercs at Pripyat during the assasination of that 1 merc in the exo.

[pseudo rivet]

SVD can be very devastating

....If you can actually lock on to a target

It's zoom can be very hindering in Medium Range Combat

[lyric forge]

Gauss rifle also doesn’t 1 tap in SoC, nor can enemies 1 tap you with it on master(I had the military armor on tho, so it may be different)

[finite dragon]

Thank god STALKER does not have that mechanic where you have to make the sniper hold still

[pseudo rivet]

Heh

[finite dragon]

basically a massive inconvenice

realistic but inconvenient

[pseudo rivet]

If they'll do that in S.T.2, it would be annoying

[lyric forge]

I kinda get the fact it stays still, fluid and smooth makes it feel better for me.

[finite dragon]

ikr

just locks on

[lyric forge]

I kinda hate*

[finite dragon]

also I love stalker for it's basic death animations

[lyric forge]

Staying THAT still is dumb

Literally no shake

[finite dragon]

true

realism

gotta have it

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, at least a little bit of shaking would be nice

But the Breathing Mechanic is getting annoying

[finite dragon]

bro anomaly replaced the breathing sounds with what would sound akin to a diabetic man

[lyric forge]

What I do wanna see in Stalker 2 is destructible environments, changes up the combat situations a lot and puts you in a more intense situational awareness

[pseudo rivet]

That would be nice, but doubtfully

[finite dragon]

woah lots of big words i like and i do agree

again doubtful

[lyric forge]

Yeah look at crackdown 3, how they wanted to implement it in MP, it would cause massive FOS drops

FPS*

[finite dragon]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

Indeed

That's why I think it's doubtful

Although, it could be added as an option

Maybe like Borderlands 2 did

Although, not entirely the same

[lyric forge]

Maybe how BF does it, just not too intense.

I have heavy hopes for GSC to get S2 correct.

I don’t want to see it flop

[robust forge]

You're talking about destructive environment.

?

[lyric forge]

Yes.

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, he is

[robust forge]

You know, let's look at it from in-game side

What weapons do most stalkers use?

[pseudo rivet]

AKM-74/2

[finite dragon]

Personally I like the AN-94

just because it has a unique ironsight

[robust forge]

Yeah, I don't see it being RPG-7 with anti-concrete warheads

[pseudo rivet]

Duty, Military and Monolith

[lyric forge]

I get it won’t be as common for structures to break from just bullets, but grenades breaking apart parts of cements walls and such would change it even in the smallest.

[pseudo rivet]

Very limited

[finite dragon]

the AN-94?

[robust forge]

I'd like to see the paint falling off after the grenade blast than the wall just exploding

But yeah, small parts should be able to destroy

Maybe something like Spec Ops: The Line

[pseudo rivet]

Grenades dropping on the ground, mud blasting up and creating a cloud

[lyric forge]

Well, I don’t want it to entirely be exaggerated as a big explosion, rather a huge chunk or side breaks off cause you to perhaps be able to peak and give you better views on the enemy around you.

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be nice

[finite dragon]

yes very gud

dang it

wrong channel cause it's somewhat art

[pseudo rivet]

#🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay

[lyric forge]

And in instances, at the end of all stalker games, it’s the most intense, meaning grenades, RPGS’s, etc. I want to see how immersive they make S2

[finite dragon]

grenades man

they save lives

they devastate lives

they end lives

[pseudo rivet]

But, to be honest, if that environment has been destroyed, that would mean it will have to stay destroyed for the whole entire game

[robust forge]

I didn't like the stalker's mid-end transition

[finite dragon]

let's take destroying yanov station

[robust forge]

You went from guns to anything but them

[pseudo rivet]

Otherwise, it would be weird to see an old wall all fixed up

[finite dragon]

you basically single-handedly destroyed your relations with freedom and possibly other loners

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

also isn't it a place of history

where Duty occupies it for a swift period of time

[pseudo rivet]

Nope

The other way around

[finite dragon]

poof

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom controlled Yanov Station and let Duty inside when an Emission was approaching

[finite dragon]

OOOOOOOOOOH

forgot about the emission

[lyric forge]

Grenades are trash in stalker, before you throw another and try to spam them, they run like sonic from them. Under battle grenades launchers explode on contact, way better.

[finite dragon]

did they make a truce or something?

[pseudo rivet]

Afterwards, yes

[finite dragon]

o so that is what uhhhhhhhhhhh

the freedom dude named after a scandinavian god

i forgot

[pseudo rivet]

Loki

[finite dragon]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

God of Chaos

[finite dragon]

yet he is the opposite

just walks around his room most of the tmie

time*

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

"Come on in, man. Relax, take a load off."

[finite dragon]

LMAO

I RECOGNIZE THAT LINE

[pseudo rivet]

Always was very welcoming

[finite dragon]

pretty chill and very warming and welcoming

literally bring some vodka

have a good old time at Yanov during an emission

[pseudo rivet]

In contrast to LT. COL. Shulga

[finite dragon]

lol lieutenant sholda is what I would call him

or mispronounce lmao

[pseudo rivet]

"What's your business here?!"

Very direct and pretty loud

[finite dragon]

I don't find him in Anomaly weirdly enough

either that or I just couldn't find him cause im blind

[pseudo rivet]

Those games made their own lore 😁

[finite dragon]

foops

[lyric forge]

Why are pseudogiants so hard in CS master, I hate the stamina system in that game.

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom controls Yanov Station in CoC and Anomaly

CS is the hardest of the games

Red Forest, right?

[finite dragon]

yes Freedom always does

Loners, Freedomers and sometimes Ecologist come on down to the old and run-down former train station

oh wait anomaly exists in 2018

[pseudo rivet]

I try to stick to Vanilla and understand the Lore

[finite dragon]

big wew

oh isn't CoC technically vanilla

[pseudo rivet]

Nope

[finite dragon]

what the dingdong

aaaaaaaa

[pseudo rivet]

Vanilla means that the game hasn't been modded at all

[finite dragon]

is the lore vanilla

[lyric forge]

@pseudo rivet no, I think aprogram

[finite dragon]

probs not

[lyric forge]

The pseudo on the top hill.

[pseudo rivet]

CoC has features or items that the 3 games don't have

[lyric forge]

He just EATS bullets

[pseudo rivet]

A Pseudogiant

In Agroprom

CS

...

[finite dragon]

lmao pseudogiants

[pseudo rivet]

Well, that's a first

[finite dragon]

they are hell on earth

[lyric forge]

Im not too familiar with the zone map lemme get it

[pseudo rivet]

If it's true, you can see how Duty attracts DANGEROUS MUTANTS

The only Pseudogiant I know of in CS is in Red Forest

But that's a forced spawn

[finite dragon]

ANOMALIES AND BANDITS, NONE OF THEM CAN STOP DUTY ON IT'S TRIUMPHANT MARCH ON SAVING THE PLANET!

[lyric forge]

No it’s not that one, and this one site on a hill, you enter and there are duty member on the road just sitting there, walk to the left up the hill and it’s a pseudo giant

[pseudo rivet]

Huh

[lyric forge]

Can’t think of the name........

[pseudo rivet]

That's very weird

[lyric forge]

Yeah anyways

The stamina system is to blame for me dying to it

SoC>CS stamina system

[finite dragon]

Anomaly has the same thing of CoC, possibly the same features and newly implemented things as it

but has a completely new map

called Meadow or Khurotuk

something like that

[lyric forge]

Haven’t played Anomaly, wouldn’t know.

[pseudo rivet]

I'll send a Map to you, see if it's the area you mean

[finite dragon]

It's located on the side of Cordon, like close to the Eastern Tunnel

[lyric forge]

Gotcha

[finite dragon]

you can enter it to avoid garbage

I eated so much food, I am about to vomit...

and reach dark valley

I don't geel very good

[pseudo rivet]

Welcome back

[finite dragon]

feel*

Loners and Bandits inhabit it

Thanks

and oof welcome back

I have 2 percent battery

and yes send me the map

[pseudo rivet]

Try using the john

[finite dragon]

imma play anomaly and take a snip of it

[pseudo rivet]

Have fun

[finite dragon]

Oh and anomaly has a story mode

[pseudo rivet]

CoC, too

[finite dragon]

Probs CoP or starts all the way back at SoC

[pseudo rivet]

Although, I never tried it

[finite dragon]

probs as far back as CS

check #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay

Oh my God... I feel so bad...

[pseudo rivet]

Try the john for a bit

Maybe it will help

[finite dragon]

The John?

whats that?

[pseudo rivet]

The toilet

[finite dragon]

oh

I don't feel like I have to go to toilet

I am just feeling sick

[pseudo rivet]

Sorry, General Krylov said that once and now it's stuck in my head

[finite dragon]

dont worry

I bet when New Years comes around in Stalker

Everybody will be at pease

Peace

But I doubt that could even happen

[shrewd dagger]

NLC 7 Build 3.0 has the best stamina system in the series

(replying to previous comments)

[lyric forge]

Yes that’s my comment about it.

The fact that walking doesn’t speed up stamina kinda hinders me from a lot.
SoC was great because I can still keep a steady pace of running. I also had 4 flash so that just makes it even better.

[shrewd dagger]

in NLC once you pass the max weight value, you're not just frozen in place

[round reef]

gtg start streaming

[dapper saffron]

Buy fallout 3

[magic perch]

[blissful cliff]

By all stalker games

Don't care if you already have them

GSC needs more money for s2

[dapper saffron]

And then skyrim

[magic perch]

[pseudo rivet]

Buy Fallout 3

[small eagle]

One time I took one and a half houre to catch the OASIS artefact in call of pripiat but I was so happy when I get it👌

I have a question
One time in call of pripiat at the Skadovsk a guy could trade a guitare with me but I didn t realized so I stoped talking to him but when I realized it I went find him outdoor and I killed him to get the guitare but there was no guitare.
So can we buy and play the guitare in stalker call of pripiat?

[blissful cliff]

Trade with person, that is walking

But you couldn't use guitar

[finite dragon]

a dude pinged the moderators

[robust forge]

Ah

And so another poor souls have been collected

[finite dragon]

yeah

why is the Duty radio so boring?

Just some intense cllassical music

[pseudo rivet]

They have the most songs of all the factions

[finite dragon]

Really?

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

3

[finite dragon]

well

[pseudo rivet]

And Dirge for the Planet

[finite dragon]

I'll listen to all of them

[pseudo rivet]

They're in the Duty Chat at Faction Wars

Our Server

Not this one

[finite dragon]

Okay, thx

[pseudo rivet]

[robust forge]

Loners have the best radio

Metal with a recorder

[pseudo rivet]

Clear Sky have the best one

Pretty chill

Love the organ and bass

[robust forge]

Why is there no eco radio

https://youtu.be/DeURxOmtLQA

It should be like this

[finite dragon]

but the bandit radio id the best one

and the most iconic one

[pseudo rivet]

Iconic, sure

But Clear Sky's radio takes the cake

[finite dragon]

Nah

the freedom one is the best :))

[robust forge]

I'd say that it's CS radio for me

It's very chill

[finite dragon]

what is booster role

[finite dragon]

why the hell are the spawns so quick in yanov

looting some zombified stalkers. three zombified stalkers spawn next to me and kill me

[small eagle]

No there is Yanov the train station in call of pripiat

[exotic dragon]

hey

do you know some good anti dooty jokes?

[pseudo rivet]

They can shoot the ground as much as they want to destroy the Zone, but it won't make them little more than a meme

[exotic dragon]

nice one

[finite dragon]

Wow the Renegades are the toughest, meanest faction

One or two duty dudes against 3 skilled Renegades

Probs gonna end in a massacre on both sides

hopefully renegades are not yeeted

as in deleted

[pseudo rivet]

For now, it doesn't seem that way

[finite dragon]

o

[pseudo rivet]

I've asked Rock for the details, but I don't hear much from him

[finite dragon]

im probs the only one wanting to keep renegades alive lol

or trying to

@pseudo rivet sorry for the ping,but I am really curious, are Duty muslims?

I mean

I found this one Duty video

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, I noticed the same

But no

They're not

They're Ex-Ukrainian Soldiers

[finite dragon]

interesting

but why do they look like they are?

[pseudo rivet]

🤷

Extremist?

[finite dragon]

I'll post a pic in #565840889021333504

send me it

also oof religious conotation to a game's faction lol

I am just curious

still send me a pic in dms

just as curious as you

[pseudo rivet]

It's nothing

Fake news

[finite dragon]

sorry for the ping (again) @pseudo rivet but Clear Sky's leader was a romanian dude?

Or did I mess up things

[pseudo rivet]

Lebedev?

I doubt he's Romanian

Don't worry

Ping me all you like

[finite dragon]

But is there any romanian dude in any Stalker?

[pseudo rivet]

From my knowledge, no

[finite dragon]

oh

thats suprising

also Lebedev seems like its a Romanian name

Like from the regiin of Transylvania...

[pseudo rivet]

As far as I know, everyone there is either Ukrainian or Russian, with exceptions of the Mercs, who come from all over Europe

Germany, France, UK and even US

[finite dragon]

Nice

I hope there will be atleast one romanian guy

From now I am the only romanian dude, with an unnofficial character

fan made

[shrewd dagger]

one stalker from every country

[finite dragon]

I am the only Indian dude

lol

[small eagle]

If you are a Indian is it real that Indians take shits on the road?

[finite dragon]

Okay what the heck dude, stop assuming things like that

[small eagle]

IL86 or TRS 301? I prefer TRS.

[shrewd dagger]

I prefer real weapon names and not using awful vanilla guns

[blissful cliff]

Lr-300 of course

[lyric forge]

Yeah in my scenario I’m still playing vanilla.

[pseudo rivet]

TRs 301

Depends on which game

CS

Alright

So

Those weapons suck in CS

You're better off with an AKM-74/2, an AN-94 or SGI-5K

Or anything like that

[lyric forge]

Really?
I haven’t got back to a TRS in CS yet.
I kinda favor the TRS over the AKM for having a more clear sight and just a line to aim with.
Also I don’t like the alignment with the gun sight to the reticle in CS, it’s off by a good margin.

[shrewd dagger]

I play chocolate

[lyric forge]

Was only able to pick the TRS up and sell it since it didn’t have any in the mag

[shrewd dagger]

I believe the SG-550 outclasses all of them in both games

99% sure

[lyric forge]

Really? Hm..
I didn’t have a good experience with it in SoC due to its sight and not being able to equip an optic, but in CoP I mainly used it at the end, Stelok’s SG.

[shrewd dagger]

That was the downside yeah, no optic

[lyric forge]

I think the only time I used it was to test it in SoC? Never carried it, I preferred my Sniper TRS.

And speaking about Sniper TRS variant, from the second I picked it up, all the way till the end of the game, I couldn’t believe it’s condition didn’t drop at all. I never used it much for Auto seeing as it’s fire rate was horrendous and bound to get me killed regardless with AP ammo or not, it held up with great accuracy.
I would’ve thought running the gun thru full auto at some points would deteriorate, but no, it held up.

I used the TRS sniper as my DMR/sniper many times, and used the SA avalanche as. My CQC-Medium range go-to, followed by Big Ben in some cases.

[finite dragon]

@finite dragon nice. im south indian btw so hi fwend

bck to stalker

What do you guys think about the great and epic Obokan or AN94

[pseudo rivet]

Acceptable

Accurate and fast at close and mid range

Does have a bit of recoil

Depends on the game, really

[lyric forge]

I kinda skipped the AN94 and went straight to either 5.56 or 9x39

that and akm for me are only acceptable for beginning of the game.

[finite dragon]

The burner anomaly in the wild territory tunnel is so annoying

Like how am I supposed to get through that

Reeee

[robust forge]

don't ree

[finite dragon]

Particularly on ironman

[robust forge]

the first thing you have to do is remove the swear

because mods don't like that

just a good advice

secondly

[finite dragon]

Why can't they just get a filter bot

[robust forge]

try to hug the columns

[finite dragon]

Alright I guess I'll try that with another character

Thanks for the advice

[robust forge]

you're welcome

[finite dragon]

So I was like 2/3 past the anomaly in the stalker anomaly mod, then two lurkers came out of nowhere and killed me

Why did they add those things.

[covert wharf]

hella lol

[robust forge]

Hi

[shrewd dagger]

play better mod

[finite dragon]

no stalker anomalie is bettur

just don't get the recent update

p much kills fps

[shrewd dagger]

bu cac tao

[finite dragon]

I got the recent update xd

thing is, anomaly is the only 64 bit mod, based on call of chernobyl that allows me to go through the truck cemetery without crashing due to lack of memory.

but generally speaking, getting past specific anomalies, as well as obtaining artifacts is a pain. am i a coward to disable ironman mode?

[halcyon nest]

Yes

[finite dragon]

Now who declares one is a coward and one to be not

No, you are not a coward

you aren't a coward for disabling ironman mode or a coward to dare play in it

[shrewd dagger]

thing is, anomaly is the only 64 bit mod, based on call of chernobyl that allows me to go through the truck cemetery without crashing due to lack of memory

False

Other such mods: Call of Chernobyl - Back to the Roots, Call of Chernobyl by stason174, A.R.E.A.

[finite dragon]

truck cemetery sucks anyway

[feral verge]

Except in Warfare; it's pretty dope there

[finite dragon]

Gotta love that Trophy AK47 in vanilla CS. It can't be modified but its raw firepower will make everything on the wrong side of the barrel just ouright eradicated, even the exo dudes. Ammo is hard to come by at first but it's not much of a issue when you reach that tank in Red Forest.

[lyric forge]

AKM is good, yes.
Ammo is common
Good damage
okay fire rate
accuracy eh
5.56 or 9x39 is better suited though.

[finite dragon]

I know, but that special AK there uses 7.62mm

vanilla CS

you mean literally unplayable

patched vanilla CS

Patched CS with ZRP+alternative ballistics+less frequent blowouts

This

[finite dragon]

Doesn't it use 7.45

7.62x39

oof

Damn I forgot, that special AK in CS used 7.62x54

[feral verge]

Special AK that uses .50 BMG when?

[finite dragon]

This
https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Trophy_AKM-47/2

[pseudo rivet]

It's ammo is hard to get and costy, but it's pretty good

[finite dragon]

Yeah, that tank in Red Forest sure helped too

[pseudo rivet]

Tank Machine Gun?

Heh

[finite dragon]

Yes, thank God for these 4000 rounds of 7.62PP

[pseudo rivet]

Do you really need to have that many?

I mean

It's already rare to reload a normal RP-74

It's weighting a lot, too

Besides, it's meant for close quarters

[feral verge]

You got the tank PKM and only took the rounds?

[pseudo rivet]

Looting the ammo is handy, though

[feral verge]

What the hell is wrong with you?!?

[finite dragon]

The more the merrier

[feral verge]

It's a 4000 round PKM; it's Christmas in a tank

[pseudo rivet]

2000

[feral verge]

Oh excuse me, 2000 round magazine PKM

[pseudo rivet]

Still a whole lot

It's ridiculous, really

[finite dragon]

4000 if you decided to unload the PK tho

I gave it to the Duty afterward so ammo is all I need

[pseudo rivet]

But the Trophy AKM-74/2 doesn't use the 7.62x54mm PP

So 🤷

[finite dragon]

It actually does my dude

[pseudo rivet]

That's ridiculous

[finite dragon]

If not I would have took that PK for myself already. That why I like that AK shooter.

[pseudo rivet]

They are of a worse quality, so that should reduce the damage

[finite dragon]

Its damage and penetration is on par with 9x39 right?

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely not

I believe the Trophy AKM-74/2 to be even stronger than the RP-74

Or just as strong as a SVD

Let me check

A little bit weaker than a SVD

And also weaker than the SVU

[finite dragon]

But then, imagine the firepower you can dish out with its automatic fire with power nearly on par with SVD

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

[finite dragon]

That nasty section on CNPP rooftop was a little bit easier thanks to that shooter

[shrewd dagger]

Yeah GSC was too lazy to add 7.62x39 and make an actual AKM

[finite dragon]

oi lads, what mods would you suggest for CoC 1.5? I'd like to make it more similar to Misery, yet the modpacks that I've found enjoy making the game easier

[shrewd dagger]

None really, CoC 1.5 has some addons but it's ultimately an unfinished, buggy mod since the dev team quit mid-development

I suggest trying Call of Chernobyl by stason174, which is another mod entirely

Though I'll probably stop suggesting that soon after the upcoming update to Call of Chernobyl - Back to the Roots

[finite dragon]

oh?

haven't heard of that one yet

[shrewd dagger]

It is a custom CoC hybrid (1.5 R7 as a base, with some rolled back changes to 1.4.22 due to bugs) + STCoP 3.2 (best weapon mod) + custom changes and I'll see about implementing Warfare after the next update

[finite dragon]

I've been thinking of trying out Dead Air again, though I've already played through it and I recall more than frequent crashes

Also that sounds fairly interesting

[shrewd dagger]

Dead Air's also awaiting a big update

and so is A.R.E.A., which I'll recommend once the update is out

A.R.E.A. is CoC 1.5 + MLR 8.3 + some Misery stuff + some cutting edge engine changes, it's gonna be the first mod to actually have great particle effects

[finite dragon]

I'm playing on a potato laptop so I'm afraid that fancy particles do not sound as exciting for me hahah

[shrewd dagger]

Hah, yeah you won't be getting that part of it then, but it'll still be an interesting mod after the next update

[finite dragon]

By the way, quick question

Are you boredgunner on moddb?

[shrewd dagger]

the avatar always gives it away

[pseudo rivet]

Heh

[finite dragon]

oh so you are lmao

thanks for uploading the mod on moddb, I barely speak Russian and vk doesn't tickle my fancy a lot

50 mbps download speed on wifi yet moddb always decides to download at 100 kb/s, thank God there's a gdrive mirror

[shrewd dagger]

moddb servers suck

[pseudo rivet]

CoM does exist, but I have no knowledge of mods, so maybe Saint Jester knows something more apt

[finite dragon]

I don't remember them being like this before

Aye, he just recommended me the best modpack that I've seen yet

[pseudo rivet]

Nice

[shrewd dagger]

CoM got effectively replaced by Last Day and neither of them are worth playing, but there are lots of forks/evolutions from these mods

[finite dragon]

CoM meanwhile felt a bit underwhelming, it's like Misery, but without the main features like choosing your class and etc etc

Last Day iirc was really empty? Or maybe I'm mistaking it with something else

[shrewd dagger]

yeah it is

Dead Air is an evolution of CoM essentially (can't recommend at least until the new update), Amomawy is a fork of Last Day (I can't recommend this either, needs a lot of work but it is a beta after all)

[obtuse vector]

best stalker?

[shrewd dagger]

NLC 7 Build 3.0 is best stalker

[robust forge]

It will be when it gets a translation

[shrewd dagger]

The machine translation isn't that bad, you get over it pretty quickly until it stumps you later in the game but then you just look at a guide/video

[lyric forge]

So I think my CS game progress is kinda broken?

I didn’t bother to capture part of a territory controlled by bandits, so I left since I didn’t have the sufficient supplies and items.

Anyways fast forward to when I’m heading to it now that I’m ready.
My radio turns on and I hear loners have captured and killed the bandits that were there.
I go over there, wait a minute or two for backup to secure with me, yet none come?
Guess I just gotta take the whole camp by myself and forget that objective.
Don’t recommend me mods either, but is this common for vanilla to happen?

[shrewd dagger]

yes

your progress doesn't seem broken though, just faction warfare progress if anything

[lyric forge]

Yes tyt was my concern, though if I just go head on to their main base, may that override that mission or no?

That*

[obtuse vector]

I was talking about which base game thats the best to mod lol

[shrewd dagger]

@lyric forge I'm not sure if it can work that way, been way too long since I played it but it can't hurt to try

and SoC has the best mods

If you want to make a mod and use some game as a base, it depends on the type of mod you want to make

[obtuse vector]

Bet, ive only played the base games but i want to start on some mods now

[shrewd dagger]

I suggest the newly released OGSR which you can find on moddb

[finite dragon]

Hi guys

What's up

[lyric forge]

@shrewd dagger Alright I guess.
Though I’m trying to take my time with this game to enjoy it to the fullest, hopefully it’s not stuck like this. I don’t know if these missions can even expire either.

[obtuse vector]

Opinions on clear sky? And cop?

[shrewd dagger]

Clear Sky has no great mods because it's too broken and unstable to use as a serious modding platform

unless you are insanely devoted

requires mental illness to be that devoted ^

CoP has some good mods, but a ton of copypasta aimless freeplay mods

[obtuse vector]

clear sky was quite broken in a way i played soc the most

[lyric forge]

SoC best stalker

[finite dragon]

^

[obtuse vector]

which stalker do i need anomaly for?

<@&610444946968805386>

[magic perch]

standalone mode, dude

[shrewd dagger]

Is tagging helpers allowed

[magic perch]

[obtuse vector]

im new to the community lmao, but is any stalker fine or does it matter

[silver arrow]

Well, we have only one helper - Dezodar

So, yep

[magic perch]

[shrewd dagger]

special snowflake

nobody else likes to help people

[magic perch]

[shrewd dagger]

stalker amomawy requires Escape from Tarkov to run

[pseudo rivet]

Why did that ping me?

🤷

[obtuse vector]

it sayes cop but the map is clearly soc

[pseudo rivet]

It's CoP

You'll need CoP for it

[obtuse vector]

ah okok

[shrewd dagger]

no you only need Escape from Tarkov

[pseudo rivet]

That too

You need both

[obtuse vector]

i wish i could run that lmao

[magic perch]

yep

[obtuse vector]

escape is literaly hide and seek with guns

[late bramble]

you dont need CoP for Anomaly

its standalone

it has its own launcher and engine

[obtuse vector]

oh shit

[shrewd dagger]

Indeed you only need Tarkov

[obtuse vector]

so just download it

[shrewd dagger]

Not CoP

[pseudo rivet]

[magic perch]

yep

[obtuse vector]

lmao

bet'

[magic perch]

unpack and play

eze breeze

[pseudo rivet]

You also need to buy the Lonesome Road DLC of Fallout: New Vegas

[magic perch]

[obtuse vector]

lmao

[shrewd dagger]

Note most stalker mods these days are totally standalone like that

[magic perch]

useful tips

again and again

[obtuse vector]

i thought i needed mount & blade

[pseudo rivet]

[shrewd dagger]

Fallout NV > Stalker

[pseudo rivet]

But yeah, you could ask on the Anomaly Discord

That's a big ouch

[obtuse vector]

im on the fence about fallout and stalker games tbh

cant hoose4

wtf

[magic perch]

Fallout NV > Stalker

different games

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[magic perch]

cannot be compared

[obtuse vector]

agreed

[pseudo rivet]

NV is really barren

[shrewd dagger]

I can compare apples to oranges, and whatever I want

[magic perch]

[shrewd dagger]

oranges > apples

[obtuse vector]

i cant wait for a remaster of NV

[magic perch]

NLC7 nutshell

[shrewd dagger]

unmodded stalker is barren too

[magic perch]

[pseudo rivet]

The Mod Community is making a remaster of it

[obtuse vector]

i kno

[shrewd dagger]

It'll fall through, might have already

[pseudo rivet]

The map feels really empty

[shrewd dagger]

NLC 7 is indeed the best stalker experience there is though

[pseudo rivet]

Weapon selection is good and so are the mods

[magic perch]

NLC 7 is indeed the best stalker experience there is though
That's your opinion

[shrewd dagger]

It is an AlternativA FactA

really deep bro

NLC is the best until S.T.A.L.K. H.E.R. Predator comes out

[finite dragon]

does anyone have the system.ltx file to download

[shrewd dagger]

I have system.ltx.exe

[finite dragon]

I have system.ltx.exe.setup

[finite dragon]

Also I realized my phone comes from the years where STALKER takes place

At least 2015

Or probs 2014

quite a fun fact

[finite dragon]

stalker takes place in 2012

[shrewd dagger]

except for Clear Sky which is 2011

[compact lintel]

how to get the artifact from parking lot?
it's COP

[random loom]

Run

...and maybe jump in attempt to avoid the electricity

[compact lintel]

wat?

i'm already have a svarog detector

I can see the artifact in radar

but i can't grab that

[pseudo rivet]

Then it's glitched

Or you'll have to walk closer to it

[compact lintel]

thx

maybe glitch, also

[finite dragon]

guys, i have a question about the infiltration mod and having a companion with you. if your companion sees you disguising yourself, and then you tell him that you want to travel on your own, will he attack me?

[finite dragon]

Yes he will

[lyric forge]

@compact lintel its best to re visit the anomaly and see if it fixes, some though for me like claw anomaly, the artifact will spawn I. The wall and stay there.

[compact lintel]

NO, it was always same that.

it's always stay in the chair.

but it isn't appear.

[lyric forge]

The electric anomaly right? @compact lintel

Shock*

[compact lintel]

ya

[lyric forge]

Yeah I had that problem too.
What I did was just hug the wall as much as I could all around it and eventually it appeared.
I was spamming space bar jumping and leans to get as close as possible to it, eventually it worked.

Also I was throwing screws to see if it could appear

If it does appear and you can’t reach it, just shoot it with a rifle or so, had to do that a couple times at one anomaly due to them floating above me.

[autumn shale]

Imagine if we could just crawl under them

like in roadside picnic

[lyric forge]

I haven’t read that book yet

And I want to watch Stalker movie

[robust forge]

The movie is great

Can't say anything about the book since I haven't read it

I need to order it in physical form

[autumn shale]

I read it only in PDF format

[lyric forge]

Yeah I’ll order it also in physical form.

The movie idk

[autumn shale]

it was pretty good and seems to have a lot of references to soviet union back in 70s

especially the political system but since we cannot discuss politics here, I won't go into details

[lyric forge]

Ah..
I heard though that they critiqued that movie and said it was awful though?

Poorly executed is what I meant

I’ll have to find it.

[autumn shale]

the movie is partially based off the last chapter of the book

[robust forge]

No

It's on yt

With English subs

[autumn shale]

but only partially

[robust forge]

And the movie is very good

[autumn shale]

It basically has it's own storyline that heavily borrows plot elements from the book

[robust forge]

It's just that people don't understand Tarkovsky

Have you seen his "Solaris"?

It's on the borderline of something delusional

[autumn shale]

The thing is... STALKER is a very slow and philosophical movie in a way. Modern audience is used to faster pace

[robust forge]

That's Tarkovsky in general

[autumn shale]

yeh

[robust forge]

I need to watch "Mirror" and "Ivan's life" aswell

[autumn shale]

It's a recurring thing with slower movies, people nowadays often don't get them because they are too slow for them as they are used to the kind of movies we have nowadays, with fast moving rapidly changing plots. It's just that in order to properly understand the movies you gotta slow down and appreciate the detail

[robust forge]

Also I need to watch that polish Oscar-applying movie called "the painted bird"

[shrewd dagger]

my top 2 all time movies are stalker and solaris

[robust forge]

Tarkovsky's Solaris is as good as the book

[autumn shale]

I might take a look at Solaris sometime

[lyric forge]

I’ll have to check on those also

[lyric forge]

@shrewd dagger forgot to ask, is stalker and Solaris in Russian language with English subtitles? I prefer if it was.

[shrewd dagger]

yes

[lyric forge]

Thank you.

[finite dragon]

in call of chernobyl, is it safer to go through pripyat or the cnpp area?

[lyric forge]

Where are you trying to get to @finite dragon

[finite dragon]

oh woops I keep confusing the lore of Call of Chernobyl, Anomaly and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series

[shrewd dagger]

n00b

[finite dragon]

hello again

how are you today

[robust forge]

Hi

I'm pretty good

Although a bit tired because I couldn't sleep today for some reason

[lyric forge]

Same

3am and still awake, got work at 9

[robust forge]

I'm omw to a EU project about personal PR and soft skills

[lyric forge]

Nice..

Probs diff time zones? I’m EST.

[robust forge]

I'm CET, I think

[finite dragon]

it's 10 a.m in turkey

[lyric forge]

Jeez it’s early for you proamulus

[robust forge]

It is

9:11

[lyric forge]

Idk why I’m awake tbh

[robust forge]

Although I'm used to waking up on 5am anyways

[lyric forge]

It’s hard to sleep tho, especially when I try and I pass out about close to 4

Umma try to get some sleep, later you all.

[robust forge]

Cya

[finite dragon]

@lyric forge Well, I have a mission in the CNPP area, a reverse bounty hunt.

But, perhaps its better to go through to CNPP via Pripyat?

[finite dragon]

Guys,I meed help, I am stuck in the deepest level pf the X18 lab

how do I excape?

The door is hold by someone

in SoC

Kill the big red sparkly things @finite dragon @finite dragon

How?

With bullets?

Shoot them

Use grenades

okay then

Thx for the help

Knifing is hard, but possible

I killed one

now I have flashbacks

Dude

I got so scated

scared

Omg be careful you will meet absolutely no one when you are going out of the lab

well

I just got warned

And told to get out

I guarantee you will not shit your pants so be careful

Okay then :))

I have my upgraded AKM wiht me

so no worry

Well

On the hall I go!

Military...

a whole mag on a single soldier...

what

ah I got killed

A soldier was hiding behind the door

not nice bro

soldiers in soc are annoying

agreed

I kille them

But dude

they are too hard to kill

I escaped the bandit base

[cerulean bolt]

play on veteran

2 headshots of akm on soldier -> killed

soldier looks at you -> lost to the zone

[lyric forge]

@finite dragon Is go thru Pripyat tbh.

I’d

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

Just wait until you meet the Monolith my friend, these guys are as tough as the military but packed with more firepower like AS Val or NATO-weapon loaded with AP rounds. And they are as many as the Bandits too.

[cerulean bolt]

these guys seem easy i have an exo

wtfwtf why cant i see anything

hello mystery wolf

[finite dragon]

Hello there stalker

I still hate these Monolith with Gauss tho. Even with exo these guys can take 80% of your health in 1 hit

yeah gauss is annoying

The Gauss is basically worst weapon in first 2 vanilla games imo. One-hit kill, pinpoint accuracy? Hell yes? Ammo is as scarce as the RPG, rate of fire is even slower than a shotgun? YES. Not to mention that by the time you got Gauss, most of your current weapons is 10x better than it too.

[shrewd dagger]

The Gauss is underrated

It's quite simply the best sniper rifle, the most powerful and accurate gun with the most range, and makes such quick work of pseudogiants

what do you consider to be 10x better than it?

[finite dragon]

Of course the Gauss is the beast when it's come to sniping, but in vanilla SoC, I doubt by the time you go to Pripyatwhether it would be practical to pick it up since things like SVD or VSS can handle its work while there's hardly ammo for the Gauss.

[lyric forge]

If it wasn’t for the rate of fire I’d like it, but it’s only purpose for me in all the games was just for chimeras and pseudogiants

[tribal jolt]

It’s really good for stealthy sniping I believe

[lyric forge]

Yeah it is

Seeing a blue beam go across the map to hit an enemy with a loud boom is quiet(just kidding lol)

[finite dragon]

At least the Gauss got a massive boost in ammo source in CoP, that's what I love

[lyric forge]

Yeah but the price for ammo is crazy

[finite dragon]

Well farming money in CoP is easy as hell tho

Besides you only need like 100-150 rounds at you're pretty much set for the later part in Pripyat

[lyric forge]

I don’t think you’ll need that much, much less.
Probs around 40 is good enough.

[finite dragon]

Agree

Still nothing is more awesome than the sound when it's firing, sounds like a thunder of zeus struck someone

[pseudo rivet]

I'd still go with a SVU

[lyric forge]

Yeah..

I never really used snipers much in stalker, I used my AR’s mainly as DMR’s for long range

Although,

In Arsenal overhaul, I would love if the Mk14 EBR was in the official game as a DMR

[finite dragon]

Yeah, would be nice if we can see some of the 7.62 NATO weaponry in the new game too

[tribal jolt]

I usually try to be stealthy whilst using a sniper and shotgun

FN FAL would be cool

or a G3

[finite dragon]

Oh yeah

Old but hard-hitting boys

[tribal jolt]

Only mercs should use em

[finite dragon]

Yeah, fancy stuffs like SCARH

They'd like that

[tribal jolt]

SCARH would be cool

it’d be cool to see more turrets

make defenses harder to just rush at

[finite dragon]

As long as it's not like that one in Cordon then I'll be fine

I'm having PTSD from that

lol

uses southeast exit from great swamps to cordon
sees weird sign upon exit
gets killed in 2.372387562738 nanoseconds
screeches
loads save
does it again
deletes system32

That PKM is cursed I can tell you that

At first I thought it was a minigun firing at me or something

"STALKER DETECTED! OPEN FIRE!"

PKM is autokiller gun

just 3 rounds to the foot will kill you

*Me taking cover behind that tree and crying

Such a life in the Zone, and I'm not even there yet.

[lyric forge]

Depends on your difficulty @finite dragon
In my case, I was on master, I was getting constant 1-tapped to the head and if you’re exposed for just barely 1 second, you’re Swiss cheese.

That is probs the most frustrating moment so far for me in CS-master.

[finite dragon]

lol I always play in master

[lyric forge]

Up next is bandits throws literal 4 grenades at once at me

[tribal jolt]

I just play on Stalker cause I ain’t a tryhard

[finite dragon]

Up next: Monolith spawn right behind me

lol tryhards

[tribal jolt]

I hope difficulty just affects how much loot there is and how low health you have in the next game

cause making people into bullet sponges just makes the game annoying to play

[lyric forge]

Than play master

[finite dragon]

Master better

[lyric forge]

And hit headshots more often, followed by using AP rounds

[finite dragon]

ooh I got a good question

What is your favorite type of ammunition

[shrewd dagger]

7.62x51 or bust for assault rifles

[finite dragon]

heh 7.62x51 is my 2nd favorite

Aimbot aim+Grenade teleport
CS in a nutshell

yeah they always manage to make grenades land next to me very easily

I got blown up by the Military in Cordon

I literally did not notice the grenade being thrown at me

next thing you know

gets out VSS vintorez

massive blinding and jumpscary explosion

[drowsy vale]

i liked when they had the large amount of bandits waiting for you

[finite dragon]

The grenade actually homing into your position

[drowsy vale]

and you couldn't do shit except try like 20 times

[lyric forge]

@tribal jolt are you a run and gun type person or more of a patient player?

Because run and gun you’ll be dumping mounds of ammo into enemies, it’s best to tap for headshots at them.

In my case run and gun isn’t possible, pro AI will 360 body slam me.

[tribal jolt]

patient

[finite dragon]

I tried to run and gun to clear a house with a PKM, it's awesome as long as you're indoor

[lyric forge]

Yeah

Fast paced isn’t the way to go in stalker

[finite dragon]

Yeah, and the magic word is: "Take cover" too

[lyric forge]

Even then some cover is hard to take

Like the MG at cordon, the torrent shoots through a whole tree log with ease.
And on another occasion, some parts of wooden shipping crates can be kinda shit through at the tip. I was hiding from renegades behind a nice wooden box, crouched to the max, and still shot and killed me.

I just alt f4’d and went to playing F.E.A.R series after that.

[finite dragon]

Glad I found that PSO scope in swamp

Took me dozens tries to bring the gunner down

Ah, FEAR, now that's the name I haven't heard in a long time

[cerulean bolt]

F5

throw grenade

see if it lands

F9

repeat

[finite dragon]

*F6 and F7

[cerulean bolt]

he doesnt space out save and load so he doesnt accidentally save scum to a quicksave from 2 hours ago

[lyric forge]

Enemies just run fast as hell from grenades, as for me, as soon as it lands, you have .5 seconds before it blows up.
As for fear yeah, I’m on F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate on extreme difficulty, it’s so annoying.

[finite dragon]

Imagine saving while you're in a Whirlgig

[cerulean bolt]

i lost my first SoC playthrough to save scumming

[finite dragon]

Accidentaly

[cerulean bolt]

i quicksaved in sidrovich's bunker with military outside

they came in and because no guns allowed!!!!!! i couldnt fight back and died every time i loaded

[finite dragon]

*auto_save loading intensifies

[cerulean bolt]

Loading save tryhard_quicksave...

Lost to the zone

[finite dragon]

Can't believe I lost my 2 hour of progress thanks to a whirlgig and forgot to save

I like how Sidorovich closes himself off from hostile factions

Sike

[cerulean bolt]

plot twist: sidrovich works for the military and runs a stalker trap so the rookies run in when raided and are flushed out

[finite dragon]

That's why the military attack Cordon rookie village if you raid their checkpoint

plot twist: Sidorovich's room is a secret chamber that makes rookies become mind-controlled by Sidorovich the Monolith

Bet he has a control room like that dog in Silent Hill 2

[finite dragon]

my computer is an anomaly of its own lmao

one day stalker works smoothly like butter

another day it refuses to load until it is manually shutdown and restarted

That's XRay Engine for us

[cerulean bolt]

welcome to michaelsoft binbows

[finite dragon]

So I'm preparing for vanilla CoP's master this time. I have one thing to ask though. Is it even possible to recuit Strider while getting "A Man of Balance" achievement at the same time? I missed him on the first run b/c of that.

[finite dragon]

Any ideas, stalker?

[finite dragon]

fun part of stalker is massacring other loners

in my anomaly save I killed off the entire rookie village in cordon

starting first with hip

lol

[pseudo rivet]

Nice

[cerulean bolt]

why yes i work for the military, how could you tell, stalker?
