Oi, when did 2021 disappear as a release window?
native ibex
Long before we know it did
slim garden
Well, shieeet
slim garden
Wasn't it on the website and then was gone?
shrewd wedge
The Info does say it's supsoed to be an Xbox release title
slim garden
But that would mean this year
tired anvil
Like Karlik already said, it was a cipher
slim garden
I don't know what that means
tired anvil
You know what an ARG is?
slim garden
Yes
tired anvil
Basically that
Running from 2018 till February of this year there was a cipher/ARG going on
And 2.0.2.1 on the website was the start of it
slim garden
Ah got it
Either way, either it's gonna be a 2 year wait or Microsoft's money sped things up a lot in secret and we might be surprised
tired anvil
Microsoft/Xbox on twitter said next year
shrewd wedge
Also gotta wonder when the game will be set, original STALKER was 5 minutes in the future but since 2012 is now past it's more an "alternate timeline" now, so could be set in its release year
tired anvil
So 2021 is still likely
raw oracle
They kinda did an oopsie and said next year
tired anvil
Just saying that the 2021 on the website was the year
Cordon looks changed, for all we know it could be 2014 or 2024
finite dragon
or 2013
shrewd wedge
maybe they go for 2022, 10 years after the first game is a round number
raw oracle
I will bet on 2021 or 2022 MAX
shrewd wedge
i mean for when they game is set, not released 😛
native ibex
Haha, I doubt that it'll be cancelled
shrewd wedge
was still so happy to see rookie village, amazing how recognizable it is with just those few features
native ibex
Really figured it'd be maintained.
Definitely not going to last long.
Maybe the Loners will move to a bunker by the end
shrewd wedge
Can also wonder if Cordon still is the outermost area of the zone or it expanded so much that it's now further in the middle
raw oracle
Why did it even get canceled the first time?
tired anvil
Sergiy stated it was personal reasons
tired anvil
Nice to have some of the original devs back
hard stirrup
which devs came back?
tired anvil
That's one of them yeah
I don't recall others, but I recall GSC stating that they have some
Dmitriy Iassenev is the most recent one to come back as far as I recall
shrewd wedge
What is it with "radioactive mutant wasteland" game devs breaking up only to later return with long awaited sequels/spiritual sequels?
native ibex
Their publisher let the game be cancelled over disagreements?
That's not how publishers get them dollars
tired anvil
The CEO canned the game
He said personal reasons, I think at some point he stated that he wasn't pleased with it either
What is it with "radioactive mutant wasteland" game devs breaking up only to later return with long awaited sequels/spiritual sequels?
Well, a good amount of the dev team disappeared during SoC actually to make Metro
GSC spawned at least 3 other companies
native ibex
So Sirgiy isn't new to STALKER development?
native ibex
Is that "lead programmer"?
Main?
hard stirrup
yea i think so
tired anvil
@native ibex Sergiy started GSC
And Dmitri made A-life in all 3 stalker games, then worked on Survarium but left Vostok in 2018. Now he's back at GSC
native ibex
Sounds like a pair of fine lads
tired anvil
They're alright
native ibex
But what is their favorite factions
hard stirrup
all of them
native ibex
Probably Duty
hard stirrup
stable pasture
Clear sky, Loners, Duty
Those are my favourites
native ibex
We have a brit here
hard stirrup
why not freedom? you dont want to sleep all day and smoke with yoru friends constantly?
stable pasture
Freedom stinky
stable pasture
Plus I really dont want to hang out with freedom
Because the smell of smoke is nasty
hard stirrup
smelling like smoke is probably the least of anyones worries in the zone 
native ibex
Was in boy scouts and had smoke buildup from the campfire for several nights and days.
Nasty smell.
stable pasture
Look
I'd rather smell like a swamp than smoke
One is more tolerable than the other
native ibex
But there is water
hard stirrup
swamp water
stable pasture
Yeah take a quick dip and immediately take some anti rad drugs
You'll be clean and not have radiation sickness!
native ibex
Some cultures have a specific use for the left hand
hard stirrup
stable pasture
Im just worried about them mutants
I can hear growling and im not sure from where
finite dragon
Blood sucker girlfriend for stalker 2 please.
native ibex
Bloosduckers with thick thighs
hard stirrup
bloodsuckers dont have a gender
finite dragon
Thanks to kill the joke
hard stirrup
native ibex
They look pretty masculine to me
finite dragon
the artists from internet don't say the that
stable pasture
Be careful strelok
Their may be hot mutants in our area
native ibex
Bloodsucker waifus are rather hairy, you know
finite dragon
Be careful strelok, scar with knife can save the zone
tired anvil
Pseudogiant
stable pasture
Rideable pseudogiants
native ibex
Psuedoduck
finite dragon
pseudodogs can be rideable
hard stirrup
duck has pseudo-flipper-slap attack
finite dragon
thanks doc.
native ibex
I don't really want to deal with HD bloodsuckers
finite dragon
HD pseudogiant
stable pasture
Spooky bois
native ibex
HD Chimera in scripted scene where it prowls around in a spooky building and you die if it finds you
hard stirrup
tiny pawn
im wondering if stalker 2 is going to be located in the other sie of the river bank
pseudo rivet
Likely
native ibex
Riverbank, you say?
pseudo rivet
Hopefully
tiny pawn
well think of it this way we dont know waht is on the other side of the river
native ibex
Zone catfish
finite dragon
yo should I get OGSE or Oblivion Lost?
hard stirrup
the other side of the river is where sidorovich came from
finite dragon
can we fishing in stalker and build a house?
tiny pawn
plot twist sidorovich is a mutant
finite dragon
in fact it would be curious, can fishing and build a base
hard stirrup
native ibex
Metro is kinda clunky
hard stirrup
what do you mean by that
hard stirrup
they said it would be seamless meaning no loading maps like previous games
finite dragon
wasnt that in the cancelled one?
native ibex
Well, playing the first one, sometimes the qte prompts wouldnt show up, sometimes the explorable areas were difficult to distinguish from instant death spots
stable pasture
The question now is
Do we get vehicles
native ibex
2033 just seems a little rough around the edges is all
pseudo rivet
Hopefully not
finite dragon
no, vehicles no
tiny pawn
i mean 2033 is 7 years old
native ibex
Dude, how we getting anywhere
hard stirrup
crimson hates vehicles
finite dragon
and i
pseudo rivet
hard stirrup
stable pasture
plz no more walking sim
tiny pawn
damn
native ibex
There you have it, folks, people that hate vehicles use swears.
Ban them now.
finite dragon
We got em.
hard stirrup
still think tamable duck is best idea so we can ride it
finite dragon
Like the laboratories in stalker soc?
Vehicles would be good in limited cases, but I feel like I'd rather explore the world on foot and just look at everything
stable pasture
boar pack
finite dragon
build a house like fallout 4 (?
native ibex
I feel like there must be boring areas in Chernobyl that are best ridden through with vehicles
Fields, for instance
hard stirrup
having vehicles wont prevent anyone from walking around though
native ibex
'Cause walking sucks
hard stirrup
true. but i dont think the devs wont implement some sort of fast traveling.
pseudo rivet
||inb4 Cardan and Nitro||
raw oracle
I think vehicles will break the immersion
pseudo rivet
Yes, they will
finite dragon
x2
stable pasture
Look im all for exploring and seeing the zones many attractions
But walking to the nearest trader or safe zone while overencumbered gets very annoying very quick
native ibex
Vehicles break my immersion.
They remind me that the world is a simulation.
pseudo rivet
Look im all for exploring and seeing the zones many attractions
But walking to the nearest trader or safe zone while overencumbered gets very annoying very quick

true. but i dont think the devs wont implement some sort of fast traveling.
have been around for a long time
pseudo rivet
Or just don't carry too much
hard stirrup
clear sky freedom base broke immersion

finite dragon
No
hard stirrup
yes
stable pasture
I must sell something to someone
Cant just go and disable the brain scorcher without selling some souvenirs
pseudo rivet
Sounds like you don't have enough Energy artifacts
native ibex
We can make a Zone Tesla
pseudo rivet
I literally got 2 Moonlights, 3 Flashes and 3 Sparklers in Agroprom
stable pasture
My luck with finding energy artefacts are much like my conservation of medical supplys
It does not exist
native ibex
I'd like to speak to you, crimson, about our lord and savior: Anomaly Mod
hard stirrup
solaris what mod or game are you playing
pseudo rivet
Kek
tired anvil
Uh oh
pseudo rivet
Sounds wack
tired anvil
Clash of Mr. Vanilla and Mr. Anti-Vanilla
pseudo rivet
native ibex
Anti-vanilla? More like pro-fun
stable pasture
Well I switch between
SoC, CoP and CS
But most of the time im playing anomaly or call of chernobyl
finite dragon
I the chad vanilla
stable pasture
My luck in finding artefacts are just really poor
finite dragon
find artifacts is a adventure
hard stirrup
but i mean... which one so i know why you arent getting energy regenerating artifacts
native ibex
If you can believe it, Crimson doesn't like the term "Loners"
tired anvil
That's false
pseudo rivet
Nah, I do
tired anvil
He just prefers Free Stalkers
stable pasture
CoC and CoP
I at least have one energy artefact in all my SoC and CS as well as Anomaly
pseudo rivet
See, I just see Loners as a sub-group of Free Stalkers
native ibex
The 501st of the Free STALKERS
pseudo rivet
Heh
stable pasture
Funny thing is
I constantly pass by anomalies over and over
not a singular artefact in sight
native ibex
Gotta sleep for a few days
hard stirrup
in CoP it takes like 2 days for them to reappear
finite dragon
beautiful
hard stirrup
CoC idk maybe script error
stable pasture
CoC just has a shortage
pseudo rivet
Funny thing is
I constantly pass by anomalies over and over
not a singular artefact in sight
What game ||or mod||?
raw oracle
Never gotten a artifact outside of quests, and maybe once in pripyat when it just came out xd
pseudo rivet
SoC, right?
finite dragon
No, Shadow Of Colossus
stable pasture
Nah
SoC is ez to get artefacts
pseudo rivet
Yup
native ibex
We'll see Crismon fall in love with STALKER 2 modding
pseudo rivet
Which is why I dislike the SoC artifact system
finite dragon
Is very ez, the other games is most beatiful
hard stirrup
SoC energy artifacts appear at midnight till morning
pseudo rivet
Some people want it back, but I prefer detectors
finite dragon
x2
stable pasture
CoP and CoC
Ive just gotten used to Call of chernobyl not having artefacts at all, Had to install a rebalance addon to make them actually useful
since all I could find was jellyfish
mellow linden
In my first Play Through of CoP I didn't understand Detectors so I went the whole game without finding a single artifact
pseudo rivet
Dang
hard stirrup
lmao
native ibex
Only artifact a real STALKER needs is Goldfish
mellow linden
I thought they had taken them out of the game
pseudo rivet
Seeing your avatar, I assume you played SoC too?
finite dragon
the bengal?
stable pasture
I do have a bear detector quite quickly so that I can go hunting immediately and earn a quick buck, CoC makes that easy to get
And getting a veles in CoP is real ez
tired anvil
@native ibex what makes you think that Crimson will fall in love with s2 modding
native ibex
Better mods
mellow linden
Yah Soc was my first Stalker game
pseudo rivet
Yeah, a Bear detector can only find common and uncommon artifacts
pseudo rivet
Yah Soc was my first Stalker game
What about CS?
native ibex
Lore? More like bore
finite dragon
moonlight ?
pseudo rivet
Basically
mellow linden
I have it but I haven't played it much
stable pasture
Well I would have a veles by now
But sadly CoC tells me no
raw oracle
Never understood how artifacts came out of nowhere
native ibex
They defy the laws of thermodynamics
mellow linden
They just appear when you hold detectors
pseudo rivet
I have it but I haven't played it much
You should definitely play it after you've completed both SoC and CoP
stable pasture
I recently replayed Clear sky
Was fun
finite dragon
play them with starting order
pseudo rivet
Too late, he already played SoC and then CoP
mellow linden
Im guessing the detectors emit something that disrupts the artifacts making them visible
pseudo rivet
Something like that
hard stirrup
most memorable was SoC and it was my first game i dont remember the one i chose to play after
i think it was CS
mellow linden
I already know the story of Clear Sky from CoC and other sources
native ibex
Yo, mutant betting matches.
1 chimera versus 3 controllers, place your bets.
Fine new arena functions
pseudo rivet
I already know the story of Clear Sky from CoC and other sources
Yeah nah, CoC doesn't know a damn about Clear Sky
finite dragon
the controllers in CS is easy than soc
pseudo rivet
The actually think they want to destroy the Zone
Also, you moved on to CoC already?
mellow linden
Well not from what they tell you but the map layout
native ibex
That is the glorious ambition of the one true faction
mellow linden
Most of it I know from You tube
native ibex
Which is Duty
finite dragon
i prefer alone
mellow linden
It was the first Stalker game I saw and then I played through SoC, and then lost interest and then later played CoP
hard stirrup
wait you lost interest in the middle of SoC?
native ibex
Not having played vanilla is one of my unique standout traits
hard stirrup
bro
mellow linden
I played all of SoC and then left Stalker games and then picked them back up
pseudo rivet
Yuuup
stable pasture
I used to like Call of chernobyl but it just sort of fell flat for me after a few issues.
Then I moved to anomaly
And now I just play anomaly because it keeps my interest more
Im gonna start a game of warfare and see how fun that is
I really liked clear skys faction wars
native ibex
Warfare is dumb
mellow linden
I've played Gunslinger for my second playthrough of CoP and it was cool but didn't add much more then immersion
native ibex
That's a lot
pseudo rivet
Thinking on giving Gunslinger a try
native ibex
Careful
hard stirrup
you havent played gunslinger yet????
native ibex
Don't wanna get hooked, do ya
mellow linden
The guns are the best out of any mod I've seen
pseudo rivet
No, I only play Vanilla
hard stirrup
bruhhhhhh
pseudo rivet
I'm a bit of a lore guy
stable pasture
Whats the main draw of the gunslinger mod?
native ibex
The guns
pseudo rivet
So, I play Vanilla to keep everything as normal as possible
mellow linden
Guns and Less things on the screen lmao
hard stirrup
guns are high quality but its vanilla
mellow linden
oh and there is a cool realistic PDA
native ibex
They got wiki pages for that, Crimson
stable pasture
Just vanilla with some added cool things and a load of guns
Yeah thats not gonna hook me in
Probs play for like 1 to 3 hours and then just go back to playing anomaly
pseudo rivet
I don't know why they decided to change things like the PDA and the Gauss Rifle
Honestly looks wack to me
timber violet
but wait guys, can we trust this fenec guy? what is his role in the world? 
mellow linden
Nah minimaps are always better if they are part of the gameworld in my opinion
timber violet
whats that
hard stirrup
crimson you are like a purist in terms of features to stalker games?
mellow linden
instead of just a random screen popping up
finite dragon
it’s a game world
pseudo rivet
crimson you are like a purist in terms of features to stalker games?
Of lore, I guess
native ibex
Fenec is really an insurgent from the Epic Games Store
pseudo rivet
Like, even I don't like some things in STALKER
timber violet
Fenec is our savior, the one who answered to our biggest concern and saved us
pseudo rivet
Like the passive health regeneration and the minimap
I personally think that only a Tactical Helmet should unlock this
native ibex
Well, in the zone, you are watered down wolverine
pseudo rivet
For obvious reasons
hard stirrup
ok so realism
stable pasture
mmmm
realism my favourite part
pseudo rivet
Kinda, not really
native ibex
Would you enjoy a game over for crippling knee injury?
pseudo rivet
Like, I still prefer gun balance
Would you enjoy a game over for crippling knee injury?
Definitely not
stable pasture
Their is immersion
And then their are tedious features that are busy work
pseudo rivet
Basically that
stable pasture
I just got used to that
And I use guides to travel between the great swamps, bar and I think yantar?
pseudo rivet
CS had chad Guides
native ibex
New game plus with equipment from last save
pseudo rivet
Meh, usually not a huge fan of NG+
I mean, it's just the same with your previous equipment most of the time
stable pasture
NG+ is cool for a bit
But it removes the feeling of slowly getting more stronger over time
pseudo rivet
Basically that
finite dragon
i like stocker.
stable pasture
The game where you stock shelves?
Bro thats what I like as well
pseudo rivet
native ibex
Stocker, call of Wal-Mart
pseudo rivet
Oh yeah, who mentioned that about the artifacts again?
About how detectors detect artifacts?
native ibex
They should be rarer? I agree
pseudo rivet
Charon
native ibex
I say they should have an artifact or two that are as rare as shiny pokemon
stable pasture
But what would they even do to compensate for their rare value 
pseudo rivet
@mellow linden
The Svarog detector shows us that all artifact detectors are indeed work with frequencies
A prototype of an expanded functionality anomalous frequency scanner.
native ibex
They let you see the easter eggs
pseudo rivet
Then again, it says "anomalous frequency scanner"
Mind that Detectors are also geiger counters and anomaly detectors
native ibex
But can you watch adult content on new detectors?
pseudo rivet
hard stirrup
according to anomaly they are powered by double A batteries
pseudo rivet
Kek
hard stirrup
pretty powerful
stable pasture
I mean it has to get powered by something
native ibex
Fallout nuclear power cells
hard stirrup
i think artifacts should be able to harness some power to power devices
wasnt a popular idea though
native ibex
Rather they should reduce power loss to keep balance
pseudo rivet
I mean it has to get powered by something
There's some sort of USB entrance beneath the Veles and the Svarog
Not sure about the Echo and the Bear
tired anvil
Hey Crimson
pseudo rivet
Yes?
tired anvil
If by the time S2 comes out, you have the specs to run it and all, are you doing a PMm run?
pseudo rivet
I'll first play the game legit
I don't want to make a joke out of my first playthrough
native ibex
Mosin only
tired anvil
Not confident..I understand 
hard stirrup
yea gajunas quit being silly bro
tired anvil
pseudo rivet
Wack
native ibex
Gajunas has the right of things.
True gamers do handguns only.
stable pasture
Knife only
tired anvil
But yeah Crimson makes a good point
Even not making a joke run, there's new stuff
So sorta encountering smth new/strong af and only having a PMm might not be the easiest of options
native ibex
Pacifist glitch-only run
tired anvil
I'll probably go for a pacifist run
I imagine characters backstabbing you somehow though
hard stirrup
it would be next to impossible to only use a handgun first playthrough in stalker 2
pseudo rivet
Yeah, the Echo does indeed have an entrance beneath it
hard stirrup
you would be tempted to see all the guns
tired anvil
Sounds like a challenge, but I'm not sure how willing I would be to do it
stable pasture
So guess they are charged by some form of cable
grim blaze
The number of words below this message indicates how many dogs I've eaten today
pseudo rivet
I guess so
hard stirrup
bear detector is best artifact finder device in my opinion
stable pasture
It is fun to use
hard stirrup
it only takes 4 double A batteries
native ibex
Nah, I need 4k artifact detection screen for my 2020 detector
pseudo rivet
Echo pretty dang neat
native ibex
120fps
tired anvil
Speaking of batteries, can't wait to search for those for a flashlight or smth
pseudo rivet
Yikes

mmmmm

tired anvil
Lowkey would hate that tbh

Curious if there's going to be a Collector's edition or smth
native ibex
Comes with real AS VAL
hard stirrup
im buying it if there is
pseudo rivet
Curious if there's going to be a Collector's edition or smth
"Collector's" Edition
Yeah, right
lyric forge
One small issue I’m hoping they fix in Stalker 2 is importing and exporting items into and out of your inventory more efficient and quick.
Instead of double clicking to just transfer over a magazine worth’s of ammo, you should be able to both type AND have the option to drop all in/out.
Also the one more annoying thing is double clicking an item fast and swaying my mouse not even an inch, and the item just goes straight to the top of the inventory. Super annoying haha.
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
The helpers
tired anvil
Most likely starting at 60
pseudo rivet
Probably 60, like most modern games
tired anvil
Unless GSC takes into account the fact that a good portion of the fans are from Eastern Europe, and make it 40 instead
native ibex
We getting that $10 price bump
pseudo rivet
torn wren
60 eur ?
tired anvil
Yes
hard stirrup
100$ for sidorovich edition
pseudo rivet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
dawn whale
the sidorovich edition includes a tourist delight
tired anvil
Actually, a little neat detail would be a small discount if you own the trilogy. Like the game is already attracting fans who have never played the games
So owning the trilogy, giving you a small discount would be nice

if stalker 2 gonna come on GoG then It should be cheap since drm free games are cheaper right ?
tired anvil
Not really?
Well sometimes
Though GOG is already ready to sell s2
Has a page for it and stuff
torn wren
Denuvo DRM was causing price increases I guess
dawn whale
sometimes, also sometimes gog tends to include more stuff, like soundtrack, unlike the official store, example ubisoft games
pseudo rivet
Yeah
tired anvil
Example stalker lmao
native ibex
All GOG added for VTMB was fan patch
tired anvil
Pretty sure GOG version has the soundtracks

But hey, you guys are happy with the new trailer, right?
tired anvil
Wasn't cool leaving us hanging with the cipher for 2 years
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
Yes Crimson
native ibex
Like, people in the trailer comments are saying things like "The rumors are true"
As if it didn't have an announcement way back
tired anvil
I'm happy about the fact how everyone was hyped for Halo yet s2 trailer got double the views
native ibex
Halo has faltered, apparently
hard stirrup
stalker is the most known, unknown game
tired anvil
Halo was never popular in my area personally
native ibex
Who cares about green soldier man, we need slav MC
pseudo rivet
Never much cared about Halo, honestly
native ibex
Imagine all the Kyles not knowing the significance of STALKER 2, just wanting to see the next COD
hard stirrup
everytime you bring up stalker to a gamer guy hes always like "oh yea i like that game"
tired anvil
Out of curiosity I watched a few reaction videos to the s2 trailer
So many ppl thought it was metro lmao
tired anvil
Or some said “ay this looks like that old stalker game from years ago, can't be it”
Then they see stalker2 and are like “oh damn when'd this get revived”
pseudo rivet
Metro has already been milked dry and recently got a game released
tired anvil
Exactly
pseudo rivet
Tfw how the heck do you think the trailer is about Metro?
native ibex
All hail 2020, for the price of the trailer was the souls taken by the pestilence, and I want more still
tired anvil
Took 7 months of the world being on fire for the s2 trailer
And the Xbox YT page breaking lmao
Almost fixed but not yet
native ibex
Looks like the same views as halo to me
native ibex
Let's make STALKER more renowned than halo, boys
pseudo rivet
Ayy
tired anvil
I have the s2 trailer on loop muted in the background
native ibex
Man, I can't wait to see more of Duty walking around in bright red

If they don't mess up the models
And add the Steel Helmets
And actually work on the backpacks
Because, man, that looked bad
tired anvil
Well, at least on Duga man it didn't look that bad
native ibex
The weird pack on the guy heading towards the array?

Duga man didn't have a backpack

That Leather Jacket looked wack
native ibex
Including bubble head suits?
tired anvil
Just look at the old s2 models, that idea is out
Dude bubble headed Kruglov is chad

Bubble head suits are quite phenomenal for stalker ambient
Especially when you're exploring an X lab
tired anvil
Wait I just thought of a pretty wack theory
glacial quartz
I like the blackened version of the bubblehead armor
pseudo rivet
Yes
tired anvil
If you look at Cordon in the trailer, you can obviously see plenty of puddles, grass etc

glacial quartz
Omg

I still can't believe how good cordon will look in New Gen graphics!!!
native ibex
Is that model imposed over the grass
pseudo rivet
Leather Jacket with no hoodie, no backpack, no pouches, no canteen, no straps
And, worst of all
A beanie

Well, stalkers are just free folks, they aren't supposed to be heavily armed with armory etc?
native ibex
That's a good representation of your average rookie loner
glacial quartz
Exactly
native ibex
He is on guard duty
glacial quartz
There are no tourists in the zone
native ibex
Didn't want to be weighed down doing his rounds

There are only stalkers coming back to the zone

Isn't it just tradition to overhype Halo then get disappointed at this point
Stalker left us thirsty Slavic (and other nationality) bois waiting for more for a decade

You know whats kinda messed up, the constant fear that stalker 2 will end up a horrible mess. I know it wont but its just a testament to other game creators in the current year/s
tired anvil
Well, if it helps, Sergiy said that the game will either be legendary or won't be at all. And we know for a fact that he isn't scared of shutting it down since last time
hard stirrup
no dev is ever satisfied to the "final" product
native ibex
On who's dime?
tired anvil
Hmm?
tired anvil
Big boy Sergiy will close it if he thinks it sucks
hard stirrup
wouldnt be a smart move
tired anvil
Didn't stop him 10 years ago
tired anvil
Tbh yeah, despite plenty of companies being always so confident, I've more faith in GSC
native ibex
It'll be an immersive sim.
Those are hailed as legendary, oftentimes
pseudo rivet
For sure
native ibex
Like Thief or VTMB
tired anvil
“It will either be legendary or won't be at all”
We got a trailer so hopefully the former still applies

Yeah, it's pretty lame
bright musk

pseudo rivet
Shows you how the media can be
tired anvil
Quite, but at the same time it's not always that bad
pseudo rivet
If it already wasn't known
tired anvil
Makes some people behave more normally I'd say
pseudo rivet
I prefer it like this, yeah
tired anvil
I enjoy swearing but it is what it is

well media can be pretty brutal

Moderators get injured all the time, it's part of the job. But if you lose a few fingers, get a bad break, that's it. You step down. We rely on each other too much to let our infirmities become a liability. A Moderator knows when it's time. Only I didn't. Somewhere along the way, something broke inside me. I couldn't find us a way out of this rule. I wrestled with it, and it took me down a dark road. I wish I could explain it to you.
bright musk
try it
arctic rover
BUT I FLOWN IN ANOMALY :DD
