finite dragon
getting the good ending comes with decisions you make near the end of the game from the Pripyat tunnels to the evacuation. some of it.
i’m kind of worried about buying SoC because I feel like it will be like Clear Sky in the damage department.
finite dragon
despite me killing a pseudogiant without dying in CoP, i would die twice to a pseudogiant in Clear Sky
finite dragon
Bruh
You shoulda started with SoC
So the combat and general gameplay would get progressively better
Tbh it’s probably better just to avoid the pseudogiants
I recall them being able to take a beating before they died in SoC
finite dragon
should i join freedom in Clear Sky to gain some good relations with the bandits? will that compromise the missions with duty?
why wiould joining freedom help your rep with the bandits? @finite dragon
umbral mist
Anomalous Bread
pseudo rivet
You can join the Bandits
Freedom doesn't compromise your relationship as long as you haven't joined the Free Stalkers or haven't shot a Bandit before. Freedom NPCs will act hostile towards Bandits, though
@finite dragon
finite dragon
I have shot some Bandits at Cordon to get Sidorovich tools. I feel like the best decision is to stay neutral and get mugged every time I enter the Garbage.
finite dragon
hey guys
anyone know why my PC makes this noise similar to running GTA 5 with some graphics mod?
im playing soc
no lag whatsoever
it only uses 40% of CPU, task manager says.
topaz magnet
get your pc cleaned
finite dragon
oh really m8
this baby has 1 tb of storage and the game is a fresh AF plus it has 200 GB left
no other game produces the noise this thing does
finite dragon
what faction gives you the best gear?
pseudo rivet
Depends on your preference
Do you like long range weapons or close range weapons?
A good suit or exotic weapons?
pseudo rivet
Meh, you can only choose one of those, due to CS' upgrade tree
pseudo rivet
And armor?
finite dragon
It doesn’t matter since if you are in cover, you are able to win a firefight.
pseudo rivet
Sounds like either Duty or Bandits
Duty will give you close range weapons with good protective armor against bullets
finite dragon
Alright.
pseudo rivet
Bandits give you grenades when you join, a GP37 and a Bulldog 6 when you've won
As for Duty, they give you the Tunder S14 with the PS5 Bodysuit when you join, the RP-74 and the PSZ-9d Duty Armor when you've won
finite dragon
I need armor and weapons. So, I’ll side with Duty.
I just entered the underground because those snorks overwhelmed me.
I have no armor, no rifle.
I’m doomed.
And the controller.
And the bandits.
I need join Freedom to just get the equipment I need for this adventure.
finite dragon
i have no idea why you guys hate clear sky
my solution is to slap some gun mod on it and it's an improvement
plus something that fixes the constant respawning of bandits in the depot
the issue isn't just gunplay
stuff like atmosphere, story, and overall gameplay loop
story is ok
atmosphere is ok too
I hate how much of a shooting gallery the game is and how bad the story is
the atmosphere is a huge downgrade from SoC, the zone doesn't feel alien in it anymore
and how populated the zone is just makes mutants feel like jokes
the only thing i find wrong with this game is the bad faction wars system
and how you can see literally EVERY squad of humans and mutants on the map
there's never any worryign whats around the next corner, because you can see it on the map
w8w8w8w8
what about cop?
i always find a bandit or a loner just vibin every 10 meters
CoP is fun on a first playthrough, its an overall upgrade in story and quests and stuff, but stuff like most of the enemies not ebing hostile and the visuals are awful
but the quest design and world is a lot more interesting
what awful visuals
Vanilla CoP looks like vomit
bro
pseudo rivet
CS looks graphically the best
finite dragon
just slap some friggin high settings on it
its fixed if you use atmosfear and absolute nature and absolute structures
but in vanilla it looks awful
fervent willow
I just finished clear sky with OGSM CE mod and I very much enjoyed it. Very atmospheric and the story is not that bad
finite dragon
will stalker 2 support my bad pc
the only thing that makes it bad is the hilariously small amount of vram.

Nope, upgrade or get left behind

amazing
external gpus are a thing
now to find out how to get this stuff
just get a desktop bratan
bro
i come from a 2nd world country and it's already too much to ask from my parents for another one
this thing costs like 1k
and they're still paying 70/month for this thing
also my dad has this box thingy with monitor and stuff
desktop yes?
man
the only thing i need is to get one of these fellas
linus made a vid about it
there we go

right
and how do i get this stuff from where i live in?
yknow everything in my laptop is fine
Amazon 
i5 with 8gb ram
i dont need a pc
all i need is what linus said
something to connect a gpu to my laptop externally
and all i need is something of a bit cheap
like something that can double the number of what i have rn
and cop can look better without throwing me 20 fps.
friggin hell the 1 gb gpus cost like 20 bucks

CS Pseudogiants, though

Finished CoP for the first time and it was fun (except the part where I tried to mod it and broke the AI). SoC has to many firefights imo. I am playing them in a wrong order I know. Haven't played CS yet as I've heard it's the worst one.
finite dragon
No, it’s not.
pseudo rivet
It isn't the worst, yeah
robust forge
Imo CoP is the worst
pseudo rivet
It's just Dark Souls
Lots of people say it's bad, due to the game being released pretty buggy
finite dragon
CoP is just too easy.
robust forge
Yeah
finite dragon
You can kill two snorks and a five zombies with just a knife.
In CS, the Viper-5 will be your best friend in CS.
As I said, in CS.
lies
it'd only your best friend in the swamps
That goes to the double barrel.
later on (about 10 minutes)
ur bad viper gets replaced by ak
74?
yes
Haven’t tried it.
u have to kill military and you get a little bit below decent rifle
it will stay until you get 5.56
or 9x39
seriously noone uses shotguns afail
k
unless mods
then saiga is like sniper shotgun with slugs
Shotguns are poopy but not in swamps.
what not in swamps man
shotguns are the least harmful things carried by an enemy
idk
the real devils are makarovs
yes.
it takes like 2-3 bandages to stop the bleeding cuz medkits are ass.
PMm is just a monster in long range.
pseudo rivet
PMm Gang
finite dragon
i wish u could make enemies bleed too
pseudo rivet
They do
finite dragon
They just collapse.
pseudo rivet
Most of the time, you won't notice it
finite dragon
then how come they still keep fighting after like 3 bullets to the ches
t?
massive bleeding
pseudo rivet
Because bleeding takes a longer time to wound or kill them
pseudo rivet
Or spammed the ] button about 100 times
finite dragon
You could have a gas mask and still die to radiation.
also theres more list of complaining about cs
but the most frustrating part is the bleeding not stopping by itself
Sleep.
unlike soc which would heal within seconds

#Maketheenemiesbandagetoo

But you have a bullet in your body.
@finite dragon no beds in cs

It’s me against Freedom.
pseudo rivet
Then I suggest using a good Assault Rifle
finite dragon
Yes.
pseudo rivet
O
pseudo rivet
Aren't you supposed to help them take over the Army Warehouses?
finite dragon
I’m apart of Duty,
pseudo rivet
Fair enough
finite dragon
shouldn't you help them tho
pseudo rivet
Yeah
pseudo rivet
Not needed
finite dragon
how will u turn on the radio tower to help mercs get thru
im always friends with freedom
I guess I’ll deal with those Renegades.
pseudo rivet
You can meet up with Kostyan to get some help with destroying the Military presence
finite dragon
i can't agree with their habit of smoking weed but i do agree that there's no reason to destroy or screw with the zone
pseudo rivet
It's optional, though
finite dragon
BC it been proven that doing stuff like attempting to go deeper into the zone results in sending mutants and emissions
pseudo rivet
It's true
pseudo rivet
Or any aggression towards the Zone, really
finite dragon
emissions are 2
I’m in the Duty Outpost.
- release of energy
- immune response
sorta like living creature
release of energy is like that clear sky man said i think
pseudo rivet
Antibodies
finite dragon
it happens when the zone simply releases energy in the form if emissions
pseudo rivet
Which happen more frequently the more threatened it is
clever verge
Fora-12 Gang
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
is when a stalker goes too far into the north and the zone release dem energy until the stalker is 6 feet under or a zombie
pseudo rivet
Which happen more frequently the more threatened it is
Yes
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
the art of scamming
anyway
i don't have much to say but stalker lore is my fav
pseudo rivet
It is 2, though
finite dragon
huh
pseudo rivet
The Zone feels threatened, thus causing the Great Emission. Afterwards, it sends out Emission very frequently, making the Zone grow unstable and this could potentially cause the Third Disaster to become a reality
finite dragon
what's 3rd disaster and what could it do?
more space warping?
more brutal anomalies?
pseudo rivet
Destroying everything and anything within the Zone
pseudo rivet
Very close to the start of CS
pseudo rivet
Nope
finite dragon
just some gopniks lost in the swamps
pseudo rivet
Renegades are different from Bandits
finite dragon
renegades are like
pseudo rivet
Easiest way to explain it is like this
finite dragon
too bad even in the eyes of a bandit
pseudo rivet
SoC Bandits are actually Renegades
CS/CoP Bandits are actual Bandits
Bandits try to bleed you dry and tax you for money
finite dragon
renegades are a throwaway tutorial bandit that they didnt wanna just call bandits because there was a loner bandit war later in the game
pseudo rivet
Renegades try to mug you for equipment and money
pseudo rivet
Same in CS
finite dragon
jacks group is running a loan shark business
an example is vano
he bought seva and got into crippling debt
all within a few days or something
pseudo rivet
Renegades 
Rumors speak of a small order of outcasts, hailing from all sorts of factions and groups of the Zone.
Seen how not even Bandit gangs want to stick around these stalkers, its reasonable to assume that Renegades consist out of the worst and meanest scumbags of the Zone.
Sick of the rites of all of the factions, they seek to have payback for exiling them from the faction they previously belonged to, whilst also trying to prey on any unlucky lone stalker who crosses their path.
Basically this
finite dragon
Wow, I found a compass.
pseudo rivet
Nice
pseudo rivet
It's a part of a CS mission
finite dragon
that one in that mine in red forest aye
yup
take it to forester
he gives upgraded vintar
Should I really give up 6+ endurance for that?
native ibex
Who needs to run, when you are what's worth running from?
finite dragon
its a quest item, m8
i mean yeah you can run around with it
but its required to give it to forester in order to advance the story.
I don’t even have that quest activated.
pseudo rivet
You'll have to give it to him later
finite dragon
I’m TIRED of these scorched brain and fanatical monolith member tryna murder me at all COSTS.
Emission simps are easy to kill
Just wait till they gotta reload
But you have to rush monoloith
They dont hide from suppressing fire because they're insane

the clear sky main menu theme was just become a symbol of frustration and failure.
also, how do i kill this helicopter.
You shoot at it
Until it dies
finite dragon
Yeah, I got that already but I am in the final mission.
why are there very few campfire songs in call of pripyat?
i dont see stalkers gathered around fires at all
And just like the game, it is a disappointment.
Clear Sky.
You can die from an enemy spawning behind you.
Also, enemies throwing grenades like it’s Madden.
doesn't everyone throw grenades
tho
games realistic except when enemies respawn in the depot constantly
not a disappointment just slap some mods on top of it
and the game is an improvement
Yes.
I played vanilla though, and I managed to complete it.
Although, I don’t see any reason to replay it other than to see all the cool factions
finite dragon
with factions ull have to conquer their rivals
and as you know completing faction wars is impossible until someone fixes the thing that causes the base to respawn enemies
until then i too have no reason to play the game
native ibex
Does anyone else find army and scientific medkits to be pretty unnecessary?
finite dragon
lemme repeat
the only thing i find wrong with this game is the bad faction wars system
drowsy violet
I have heard and seen people play the Stalker games but I just recently bought Shadow of Chernobyl. Honestly this game looks interesting but the lack of a basic tutorial is a bit odd. I mean I don't expect the game to hold my hand the whole way just give me the gist of how things work.
Well at the start just for your PDA.
pseudo rivet
I guess I can give some basic tips
rancid coyote
Also controls
pseudo rivet
Press Control to crouch, Control + Shift to double crouch. This will allow you to become more accurate
rancid coyote
I always check the controls
pseudo rivet
You can use Q and E to look around corners. Pretty handy
rancid coyote
Use bolts
drowsy violet
It's rare to find a game that has a leaning mechanic.
The bolt thing I know of. To detect anomolies.
pseudo rivet
You can use your type of ammunition with Y. Types of ammo is usually normal or Armor Piercing
rancid coyote
[ and ] are hotkeys for medkits and bandages (in ShoC and CS)
pseudo rivet
You can switch the firing settings of your weapons with 9 and 0
drowsy violet
Well I just started so just a pack, the pda and this makarov.
pseudo rivet
Bolts can be used to trigger an Anomaly. This then gives you a small period to walk through the Anomaly before it recharges
rancid coyote
You can switch the firing settings of your weapons with 9 and 0
Useful if you want accuracy, you don't want to waste ammo and have some control over gun
pseudo rivet
^
pseudo rivet
The best start = playing Clear Sky first with no tutorial on Master.
Lol no
SoC, CS, CoP
drowsy violet
Tbh anything is better then the starting pistol you get I hear. Taking out these bandits may give me a few options.
rancid coyote
NATO weapons are rare, expensive and they break easily but are accurate
drowsy violet
So you are telling me to go local then for something durable.
rancid coyote
Yup
Hehe
But I'm a traditionalist
And this works especially with mods
Hehe
Also NATO stuff appears in the middle of the game I think
But still
5.45 > 5.56
drowsy violet
I did look up the weapons list. At least there is an AKM I can use. I don't know where that is anyways.

Oh, also Beretta and TOZ-66 aren't available in stock SoC.
Beretta can be dropped by Duty and TOZ 66 is sawn off
drowsy violet
I honestly do not feel like shooting at people who at least have moral standards.
rancid coyote
Yes
pseudo rivet
Yep
pseudo rivet
All your actions have consequences, so think everything through carefully
drowsy violet
I know this game has multiple endings.
finite dragon
Yes, that time in the Pripyat Underground, and you ended up leaving Zulu, Sokolov, or Strider, or Vano for dead? There is a consequence.

@drowsy violet
Some people can't stand the bugs
- They're part of fun
- If you really have problem
DO NOT PLAY COMPLETE MOD
Play Zone Reclamation Project
tired anvil
play no mods

pseudo rivet
Play absolutely Vanilla
rancid coyote
The best option
pseudo rivet
drowsy violet
I am playing vanilla.
finite dragon
CS crashed once for me.
rancid coyote
Hehe
finite dragon
But the game is still good.
rancid coyote
Game's great
finite dragon
Clear Sky has so much stuff to do.
tired anvil
just dont read this chat at all and go play kek
drowsy violet
I mean I am liking what I am seeing so far and I haven't shot anyone yet.
rancid coyote
Yay
pseudo rivet
Also, it's a pretty bad tip, but it may save your life. When you need to finish off an enemy, but your gun is empty, you can drop your weapon and grab your pistol to finish off the enemy. To do this, press G to drop your gun and press 2 quickly after to equip your pistol
rancid coyote
Actually not fighting is way more profitable in this game
finite dragon
Well, you aren’t gonna be friendly no shoot no kill man for long.
pseudo rivet
Takes more time
finite dragon
Knife is the best gun.
rancid coyote
It even has ammo
finite dragon
Use it when you are killing snorks.
rancid coyote
@drowsy violet
So yeah
Good luck to you, stalker
Really, I recommend doing what the plot tells you to do in one location and exploring later
Don't shoot everything on sight
Also when you end playing the trilogy
Welcome to the world of mods!

Anyone knows Agata Christie band?

There are some side jobs I could do. Though main quest is telling me to grab this briefcase in one place and bring it to the 100 Rads STALKER Bar.
finite dragon
Get some Anti-Rads.
drowsy violet
Personally, I like doing a bit of prep work before going into somewere that I can get killed.
finite dragon
Do a side quest that will get you money and then buy the anti-rads (Buy three). Then go to the main quest.
drowsy violet
I did that jellyfish artifact mission. I got just a bit over 3000ru and two bottles of vodka.
I got like five makarovs in my inventory.
finite dragon
why do you need that much though.
Gotta love when a balding man with no tshirt makes you trip balls and commit suicide
what
@finite dragon controllers
In the gunslinger mod they make you shoot yourself
Or commit seppuku with a knife
oh ok
It spawns phantoms that attack you
Yeah, I’ve seen a controller before.
For some reason the DX11 rendering mode messes with the culling on certain objects
So i could only see the controller if i was in the building
Yeah, that could be a bug or something. I haven’t played with gunslinger.
rancid coyote
Guys
- He's playin vanilla
- No spoilers
@drowsy violet
Do some sidequests for money and eq but ignore them if you don't want to do them
Also sell unnecessary stuff
I suppose you don't want to know useful items locations
finite dragon
Also, you can’t sell guns in bad condition.
Also, you can bleed to death. So, always keep five bandages to stop bleeding.
rancid coyote
Bruh
- He's playin vanilla
@rancid coyote
ShoC
You can sell guns with bad condition
rancid coyote
Still some
finite dragon
yeah
you only make 50
it’s rare that you find a weapon that’s good in condition. maybe in stashes.
rancid coyote
Eh, who cares about guns jamming
This was part of a climate
Also for sure you'll learn game on your own
finite dragon
guns will jam at some point.
but you can’t keep a gun throughout the whole game.
because it will break and you will not be able to shoot a single shot.
hey guys
is it true that soc has bias for 5.56?
tbh i find the round quite good
especially gp37
and ft200m
finite dragon
200k roubles from freedom trader
or get one free but damaged at the barrier when monopoop kills a freedom member
i use some repair mod
and i can easily fix it
finite dragon
petty.
drowsy violet
Ok, so last night I stopped playing for that night seeing a scene of some what I am guessing are bandits shooting at dogs. Though who knows if they were bandits but they had assault rifles.
drowsy violet
Oh I did pick up a grenade. That might help take the bandits out. Might get one or both because of spreading.
drowsy violet
Just experienced my iirst crash.
native ibex
I actually haven't more than one crash on Anomaly
drowsy violet
Ok, now I understand why people play this game. It is actually pretty good.
I just picked up an AKM-74 U
native ibex
Nono
We play it because it's a miserable time
If you can believe it, some of these dudes play it for the lore
gray gazelle
Hey
So i was playing shadow of chernobyl
And now im enemies with freedom
How do i fix
Help
finite dragon
@gray gazelle what did you do?
finite dragon
do you have the quest to go to the north?
gray gazelle
No
finite dragon
Have you finished x-16?
gray gazelle
I did the thing where the duty guys raided their base
The one with the wall exploding
finite dragon
if you've done x-16 then talk to barkeep aboyt heading north and you'll get a quest
unfortunately freedom guards the barrier to the scorcher, so you'll have to deal with that
or just load a save before you killed freedom
gray gazelle
So there is no way to like
Make them not hate me anymore
Like new vegas or something
finite dragon
Why would there be? you killed several of their members
this game isn't an RPG
there isn't any karma reset or anything
did you expect this game to be an RPG or something lol
gray gazelle
Well
There was the attitude thing in the top right corner
So i fugured there is like a attitude bar
finite dragon
There is no way to fix relations with a faction after you become their enemy
and the game never implies that there is
gray gazelle
But never implies there isn't
finite dragon
You know what happens when we assume chief?
gray gazelle
And i also noticed that when you give hurt stalkers medkits their attitude changes from neutral to friendly
finite dragon
yes thats a thing
native ibex
Then they die the next day by standin completely still while being attacked by snorks
drowsy violet
I just got done with two massive fire fights. The last one probably had around seven bandits.
Finally found an AKM-74/2 off of one of the military enemies I bagged.
pseudo rivet
drowsy violet
Yeah, this game just went from quiet to completely tits up in my first hour of playing. Group and solo shootouts with not just bandits but russian military. I Already almost have full weight capacity in my inventory as well.
What are some good weapons I should lookout for besides Avtomat Kalashnikova? A sniper rifle my help.
drowsy violet
In some sewers they told me to go down to flee the military after shooting up this compound with some guys.
rancid coyote
Sniper rifles are endgame stuff
drowsy violet
I just ran into more military in these sewers.
finite dragon
||Expect more when you get out||
rancid coyote
Hehe
Also sniper rifles aren't so useful
Expensive, expensive ammo
Usually you fight when enemy is close to you
drowsy violet
I can tell. I am literally hiding behind the wall to the previous room taking potshots with a smg at any unfortunate military troop entering the area.
rancid coyote
You can get some scopes for rifles later
drowsy violet
I see a bright orb that is supposed to be a flashlight. bang bang bang
rancid coyote
Did you meet funny thing in the underground?
drowsy violet
Yes. I filled it with a mag and a quarter worth of 545x39.
rancid coyote
Hehe
Also some advice
Shotguns ain't so useful against humans if you're using buckshot, they're good against mutants tho
Pistols aren't useful at all but can be helpful at CQC
drowsy violet
So never leave a safe zone without a shotgun. I killed some mutated dogs next to a stash with it.
rancid coyote
SMGs are combination of rifle firepower with lighter weight, they are not accurate and recoil makes them useless on higher distances
Rifles are heavier but have less recoil and you can attach scopes and stuff to them
drowsy violet
Also, I like the AI so far. It's far more advanced then most enemy ai I have seen in a game.
rancid coyote
Sniper rifles aren't really useful, there is only one good, VSS Vintorez which is more of an assault rifle than proper sniper weapon.
Also, I like the AI so far. It's far more advanced then most enemy ai I have seen in a game.
You can say 2 things about stalker AI
- It's great, very advanced etc
Actually it had to be downgraded because it was too good
- It's dumb as hell
:)
finite dragon
Stalker AI will just surprise you how bs it can be sometimes.
drowsy violet
I'm playing on normal and I honestly feel challenged. I mean, I have actually died a few times.
rancid coyote
Normal is actually easy
Take this
Manipulating with difficulty can help
Also
Do you want some useful item locations?
drowsy violet
The military troops actually feel like professional military.
rancid coyote
Hehe
You know
In ShoC you have one advantage
Enemies don't use grenades
That changed in Clear Sky
And it hurt
finite dragon
Clear sky laser guided grenades
They don't need mortars in CS if they have hand grenades.
rancid coyote
You can shoot trough some stuff
drowsy violet
Also, back at the compound I actually threw a grenade expecting it to go through the window in the room I was in. It bounced off of it and landed right by my feet. My reaction was to reload the save.
rancid coyote
Hiding behind the wooden walls isn't the best idea
Also, back at the compound I actually threw a grenade expecting it to go through the window in the room I was in. It bounced off of it and landed right by my feet. My reaction was to reload the save.
You can use right mouse button to adjust power of the throw (idk how to say it)
Same with bolts
Also different ammo has different stats
For example 9x39 rounds are dealing high damage but have bullet drop
Buckshot is actually a buckshot
Slug is one bullet
Also normal ammo is better against mutants and enemies without armor
Usually
Shotguns work a bit different
drowsy violet
I wished I hadn't used all of my grenades else I would be blowing these guys up due to spacing.
rancid coyote
Hehe
Good luck
Also remember to always save some ammo
And be ready for the worst
And you know, typical stuff, on longer distances you use single fire (press 9 or 0 to change mode, some weapons like MP5 or AN 94 have burst mode), full auto on CQC

Just exited the sewers into a military installation/.
This is my current situation. My armor is FUBAR, I have only a few loafs of bread to heal myself with, got loads of crap in my inventory including a 5kRU artifact, and on top of that I still have no idea who I am or what I did last night. However, I DO have an AK with over 200 ammo.

Ok i just got into some underground lab and there was a skeleton and his pelvis keeps on floating and yeting itself into me

The

Is it dangerous?
Is it an artifact?
Why is it attacking me?
Is it a joke by the devs?

The military troops actually feel like professional military.
It's because they are. There are normal grunts mixed with Spetsnaz soldiers

Is it a poltergeist
pseudo rivet

Yeah whenever I try and take cover they try to overwhelm me. Whenever I come out to try and take out one or two from my hiding place they lay down suppressing fire. I am thankful SoC doesn't allow the soldiers to use grenades.
pseudo rivet
You'll love CS Bandits
When you're in cover, an entire Bandit squad will throw grenades at you
Usually 2-5
Bandits love their grenades
ember dew
that's a great tactic
pseudo rivet
Bandits are pretty smart, yeah
It's part of the fun

I just started playing stalker games maybe 1-2 months ago.. god I have not enjoyed games this much in a while... lol
Finished SoC, then CS and now started CoP
Definitely one of my favorite game series now
Is CoP a lot shorter then the previous games since there is only 3 locations?
fervent willow
thats good to know. but then there is sooo many mods to replay these games
native ibex
Grenades suck.

And there is a big disadvantage for English learners when it comes to language learning
native ibex
You all have words, verbs especially, that change their suffixes depending on the sentence
Like 7 of every word
finite dragon
Yes thats true
native ibex
It's in most languages. We don't really do that.
We don't even teach the sentence cases.
finite dragon
I have been learning Turkish too Its hard
Maybe this is why English is world language
When the Russians learn english
The school says The is not pronounced di its pronounced ze
So the school was wrong
And the people have trash english right now
You know it man
Go to the CSGO People can't say hello in English 😄

finite dragon
In the cold war times government gives people guns gas masks
My father was have a ak47
When the union collapsed they take all of the guns from people
native ibex
And before cold war they take guns and religion
finite dragon
Man I am supporting this thing
Religions are useless
I am not an Atheist
But I am supporting this
If the religions allowed Caucasians and Russians will make a war
Russian Tsar times caucasians cremians made a war with Russians
It was so bloody
So Religions make the Soviet Union bad
Then the Lenin said no fuckin religions
native ibex
