Sidor mostly was trying to kill some of the bad-asses
That betrayed him, or did some bad things
They don't let stalkers take the center, preventing the 3rd disaster like this and thus, saving lives
Nah. Monolith members are asses
if Monolith did that becuase they'ze was smort, then it'd be chad. as is they are Scorched brain.
Nah. Monolith members are asses
@gusty trench Not sure how are they asses, but ok
Monolith does it unwillingly
But still does it.
If they weren't brainwashed - they wouldn't do it
You just mad, cause you're a fricking merc 
And you're a merc
And you're a Duty member
And you're a merc
And you're a Duty memeber
And you're a merc
Mercs are Nerds.
And you're a Dodo member

And you're a merc
So you confirm it. Nice
But you're a merc
What's the PRIMARY objective of Freedom?
@finite dragon
To study the Zone and benefit mankind
And not make it open?
thats also the ecologists goal innit
Research independently?
Crimson, if Freedom succeeded in opening the Zone, how bad would it be for The Zone itself?
Not as bad as making stalker-related anime trap pics 
still, freedom sounds like ecologists but with a bunch of weed and flecktarn
They respect the Zone and try to co-exist with it
Freedom doesn't do the research by itself.
Yeah, obviously after seeing them send an exo squad to push Pripyat in SoC 
But well, if they made access open, stalkers would flood and damage would be inevitable, right?
Also, if they succeeded, Ukraine would pretty much send large amounts of Spetsnaz to get rid of those Freedomers?
still, freedom sounds like ecologists but with a bunch of weed and flecktarn
Not really, they're like Ecologists, Clear Sky and Monolith in one. Freedom DOES do research and even invents their own stuff, they fight both the Government and Duty to keep them from making the Zone angry and they try to allow free access to the Zone. They also assassinate Stalkers who hunt mutants, instead of killing them out of self-defense, because this makes the Zone angry
They can't even send helicopters properly, dude...
Nope
#🤨┃stalker_memes It was somewhere there
They can pay you if you kill one of them in ShOC
Also one of the reasons why they decided to fight Duty
Dunno about CS
@finite dragon I remember showing you this. Do you have some memory losses?
https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Scarecrow
🤔
Freedom studies points of interest, such as Shamans and their relation with the Zone, but they also take measurements of background radiation, temperatures and humidity. They also take note of the presence of mutants and anomalies in an area. They also found out that you can generate anomalies with an artifact

But well, if they made access open, stalkers would flood and damage would be inevitable, right?
Also, if they succeeded, Ukraine would pretty much send large amounts of Spetsnaz to get rid of those Anarchists?
@pseudo rivet
Still impossible
Too few members
Most of them died during 2011
Besides, they're were holding the Barrier
From faction wars and their retreat to the Army Warehouses? Barrier too, right
Yeah, I see now, thanks
Also, Duty don't know that the Zone can't be destroyed, right?
Duty doesn't know that fighting the Zone makes it angry
I see. So basically, both factions wack 
If you wish

And Freedom's goal to make the Zone accessible by everyone can't be achieved
Neither Duty's and Freedom's goals can
Wack, I'm joining the Free Stalkers then 
Still, the primary focus is studying the Zone for the betterment of mankind
Heck, when you give the Heart to Professor Ozersky, Freedom will be the only group who actually took any interest into it and actually talks about it
Degtyarev kinda dumb, went through the underground of Pripyat which is full of mutants, dangerous gas and Monolith. He could've just taken the train from the Yanov train station 
Crimson's fart
I sniff that stuff for kicks

"Dangerous gas"
@pseudo rivet Hey, poor Deggy is a soldier not a scientist! Not like he'd be expected to know that even lethal toxins would have reacted and interacted with the surroundings over the 6 years that it was 'sealed' in there. 😆
Although it would've been funny if they went down there, opened the door and were like "...D-do you guys smell eggs?" 😁
does anybody know how to lower the capture time in call of chernobyl warfare
i cant find anything on the internet
I'm afraid not really, no. Have you tired asking in the 'Modifications' channel? Other than that, you could try unpacking the mod / game files and seeing if you can find anything in there that'll affect it. Usually what I do when I wanna change something in the game(s). 👍
Hello? Hello?
Uhh, hello, hello
Do you have ecologist suit?
Ecologist suit is kinda bad, SEVA is way better
bullet protection is everything in the Zone
Do you have SEVA suit?
I had it a few times in the games, yes
How many rubles?
which game though
I want to buy from u
?????
I hate to break it to ya, but the vanilla games aren't multiplayer, stalker
Buuut, my friend, I can show you some pictures... if I dig them up
Oh, it seems i cannot send pictures here
idi ko mne
Sometimes STALKER gives me an aneurism
Just wiped the whole military base to get some documents, forgot to save, random soldier comes and wipes me the frikc out
how do you forget to save
its 2nd nature for me to hit f6 everytime i kill someone
god its not clear sky its granata sky 
@finite dragon Honestly, I do that too. The only reason I know is cos I'll click F9 and be back like 10-15 minutes. I blame it on the immersion. 😁
@fair crater Ah yes, there's a very good reason why I class the finale of CS as the hardest in the series...But I'll not say any more lest I spoil the fun awaiting you! 😉
Chernobyl?
@gusty trench Nah, I mean, does it take place after CoP or before SHoC? Or what?
I wonder how progress on the game is going on
@oblique crypt it's a sequel, so after CoP
@oblique crypt it's a sequel, so after CoP
@grand pendant Thanks, bro.

I wonder how progress on the game is going on
@balmy compass With GSC? I hopefully well, but I think whenever someone asks them when it's coming out they bump the release date back by one day. 😆
Lets see if anything get revealed in the xbox launch event. I am sceptical though
If they release anything about S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 this can be realy great
But they wont, I bet 10 bucks
Mh k
I'm seeing some people type S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in the livestream chat
Same lmao
As @finite dragon said, it won't probably happen but if it does it would be absolutely amazing
Is the livestream in English? What's it being streamed on?
I don't recall it being mentioned in the games that will be shown, so I've big doubts
Is the livestream in English? What's it being streamed on?
Yes, Twitch, YouTube
Interesting. Thanks @tired anvil . I might peak in and out...Although I have seen the list and I agree with you, not on there then not expecting much.
It's not going to be shown tbh. The highlight is launch titles
Oh well, maybe some other time
And GSC is definetly holding out on gameplay to release it on 2021 so that they could satisfy the fan's needs after everyone were mislead to believe that 2.0.2.1. is the release date
What did they expect with putting 2021 in the first teaser lol
If COVID wasn't a thing, I would expect them at the Games Gathering conference in Ukraine again
But atm nothing
2021 was the ARG
I know. It was kinda misleading at first when nobody had a clue that it was an ARG
Best ARG I ever participated in
The first time i heard of it was a day before the ARG ended
Please one more teaser lol
Hahaha, NO

What units are there in the Duty faction? There's the Expeditional unit lead by Shulga, there's the Duty's taskforce unit lead by Skull. What other units are there? @pseudo rivet
Well
There is one that remains speculative
But basically Spetsnaz
Except it's Duty's Spetsnaz

Alot of ppl yelled in Xbox x launchs chat that they want S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 lol
Most of the chat was spamming "Free gold" "Juan" or something related to S2
Yea lol
I still hope that they show us something 
Don't we all
you guys know good russian cartoons?
must be old or new?
theres verify your clock
soviet cartoon from 1963
hope it helps]
Arghhh no stalker2 
you guys know good russian cartoons?
@fair crater, hm
well
a lot of
but there is a question:
have you watched popular, i'd even say classic, russian/soviet cartoons like "Ну, погоди!"?
нет
да
Давайте, товарищ "круче смерть" 

this cartoon used to be very popular in vietnam

but not much talking aint it
Can't know russian cartoons when my vocab is still not even basic
What matters is that I can say "Твоя мама су... super chill woman"

hey, quick question
whats the diff between health restoration and wound healing
for COP
Wound healing is bleeding
health restor is just normal DMG right
Yes.
alright thanks
Yeah, man
So if the largest faction is Mono, second comes either Freedom or Duty, what comes after? Mercs? Military? And what after them?

Freedom or Duty @finite dragon

So if the largest faction is Mono, second comes either Freedom or Duty, what comes after? Mercs? Military? And what after them?
Actual faction? Probably Final Day
Anomaly jerkfaces saying Sin leaders from Anomaly are canon 
That or that group of guys who tamed mutants
Yeah, but Anomaly boiz always claim that Anomaly is Canon
They just want Hip, honestly
And how do you deal with them, eh? They say Anomaly has deep story and lore 
Damn, it does?
It doesn't 
Generic same tasks for every faction when you replay the story except ISG maybe
Oh no 
Anomaly is deeper than Stalkan
Actual faction
You're joking, right? Ghost destroyed this faction a long time ago
@pseudo rivet Also Sin was supposedly mentioned in the design documents too. The ones here ||https://stalker-ru.gamepedia.com/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._Design_Document_v1.4.PDF#.D0.9A.D0.BE.D0.BF.D0.B8.D1.8F|| don't seem to contain anything about it. Is there a file I can download and read about them?
Woah, no kidding?
Man, I didn't know that
I wonder where the concept even came from

You're joking, right? Ghost destroyed this faction a long time ago
Just the leader, faction probably still exists, who knows
Other than that, there are no factions
CS is definitely dead
And the rest are groups, not factions
Well then, if they say Anomaly is canon, I will say that Stalker Reborn is canon too 
Just the leader, faction probably still exists, who knows
CS is definitely dead
Ahem...
Crim... if Novikov survived, why others can't?
others can survive, faction can't. Lebedev was the only man keeping the group from falling apart, and with him gone the others scattered around, left the Zone, or i would say some joined Freedom
So the Final Day faction doesn't exist too. 😎
i'd say they disbanded moments after CS, but they definitely got more chances to survive than Clear Sky, since only the leader was killed and we never hear of him being "the glue that keeps the group together"
Barkeep says "they were pretty wild, those boys", could also mean that the change in leadership was for the better
so, I heard something bout e3 or something something
did they show something new from stalker 2?
so, I heard something bout e3 or something something
microsoft presentation about their consoles and some games that are already out
e3
did they show something new from stalker 2?
No.
Who supplies Freedom with weapons and gear?

Ashot keeps secrets very well... 
Nobody knows. Even NATO 

Where can I download Anomaly RC18?
On Moddb there's only 1.5.0 patch if I'm not mistaken
On their server, as I know
Any links?
@brisk harness Give him an invite to server. Or a link to this version.
I'd appreciate that very much. Btw, is it still standalone? Just so I know if I have to install CoP before the mod
Or if I have to install 1.5.0 before it
-unmute @brisk harness

@finite dragon
You already know this
@finite dragon
You already know this
@pseudo rivet Perhaps I do, but I probably forgot.
Mind reminding me?

I don't actually know for sure, but I've assumed it's a combination of the Mercs, leftover / looted ISG stuff, and Stalkers just bringing their own stuff. Considering Freedom's ethics & form of hierarchy, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of stuff was donated by existing or ex-members; kind of like a 'Gun Cooperative' in a way - People get given and then give back after missions / raids etc to ensure everyone has enough to go around.

@leaden hamlet
Played too much Anomaly
@finite dragon
Black market, just like most traders
Played too much Anomaly
@pseudo rivet Fair, also true. Haha! But, at the very least, my Merc idea was based on Hog's relation to Freedom in Clear Sky. And I thought almost all the NATO kit was from failed ISG expeditions?
Kostyan owed Hog, so that's why
And most NATO weapons come from the black market
Just a few that made their way to the Zone through expeditions from the UN, not ISG
OOOOOOOOH I see now, fantastic. Many thanks for the corrections mate! 👍 😁 👍
theres nothing wrong with spending the little time left of life playing stalker right?
Just so you know, ISG doesn't exist in Vanilla
@pseudo rivet Yes, good to know. 😁
theres nothing wrong with spending the little time left of life playing stalker right?
@fair crater That...Sounds ominous my friend. Is everything alright? 😟
just asking for a friend lol
imagine your old self rotting away on bed playing storker
Are you sure? If you wanna talk mate then I'm here to listen. 🙂
I can imagine that, yeah. Quite clearly, funnily enough.
@fair crater You still there, friend? 🙂
aye im not sucidal im not a stalker you know 
Okay, that's very good to hear! I'm sorry for bothering you...I might just need more coffee! 😅
🙏 
😉
Lmao
Rip
you have been through the zone, this is just a flu
Curable or not
It's more or less weaker than some colds I've had
I'd like to be able to taste food, however
vodka?
Rip
maybe try inhale some vodka aye? they cant resist the power of superior alcohol
Vodka suppository
@native ibex OH MY GOD! Moon I'm so sorry to hear this... 😟
Awww mate, I hope you make a swift recovery. It IS possible and I've got every faith that you'll pull through! Just be sure to look after yourself. 😀
As for the food thing, I haven't got any experience with taste-loss from Covid, but maybe try seeking out something with cinnamon in it. My Mum lost her sense of taste when she had chemotherapy & cinnamon was the only thing she could taste. Maybe worth a try?
No, it's fine
Very weak so far, don't worry about me.
I stronk young man
Duty Stronk
friendlyneighborhoodmerc
Hush
I had assumed you would be but didn't want to say anything. Then you're going to kick it's backside by all accounts, but please please do be sure to look after yourself; Respiratory things can change (both ways) extremely quickly! I'm sure Voronin will be welcoming you back in no time! 😁
Yeah, I'm fine.
It's the missing money from work that will do the real damage.
hey atleast you are not in college
hey atleast you are not in college
@fair crater
In a few months, however...
Gonna be in college in January
i managed to get a remote job and still blined it up dont be like me
Edi, you aren't even old enough to drink
May you have a speedy recovery, moonglum 🙏
@native ibex Very true, but focusing on that won't make it any better. In fact if you stress too much then it could have the opposite effect! You're young, strong, as you said, and I'd wager you're sharp as a tack and dang smart on top of all that! Focus on today & trust that someone as great as you will be able to tackle this & anything else that gets thrown at you, money trouble included! 😄
Sure sure
I just hope my great grandma up in West Virginia don't get it.
She has one lung and she's 96
She was more my mother than my actual mother
¿?
cope 
@native ibex Wow goodness! We're in a situation with my Grandma who's almost 90. All you can do is try and keep your distance until you're feeling better & hope for the best. Again, worrying about anything else past that isn't likely to be of much help; you can only control what falls within your own sphere of influence. I'll say this, though, if she's got one lung and lived to see 96 then she' likely to be stronger than she looks! 😁
@fair crater New Zealand? 🤔
vietnam
Woah
Aye, she's one of the greatest women to ever live, my great-grandmother
yeah yeah i play stalker
@fair crater Oh I didn't know they were Covid free. Very interesting!
Vietnam? You mean they moved on from straw huts?
no
@native ibex Hah, I bet she is! You don't get to that age without being kind of a badass. 😁
Aye, she's one of the greatest women to ever live, my great-grandmother
the gov just put everyone in a week lockdown and boom
covid free
sometime lack of democracy is a good thing 
Australia is 100% rabies-free I hear
(Rabies is absolutely terrifying)
yeah dying by rabie sucks
I wish the idiots here did that before
But nooo, everyone disregarded the issue and here we are now, not even knowing the real figures of both deceased and infections
Yeah
i love democracy 
People shouldn't HAVE to comply
I'm American, so, it's their choice, and I'll have that over 1984
Cooler has taken the blackpill
i took the redpill
yeah just don't be a detriment to the human race and slow the spread of a sometimes-lethal virues by complying
As a fellow human being, I humbly ask you of this
I agree. It's rarely lethal, and we all have progress to make and kids to feed.
Well, I don't have kids, but I have college to fund.
people keep gathering to protest
@native ibex doesn’t stop me
Age just prevents me from legally purchasing it
woah, are you talking about stalker 2 plot or smth? 
Yeah
yeah 
The great coof anomaly shall devour us all
the wuflu
But seriously, I'd hunker down if it were of much higher lethality.
Imagine if prions (mad cow disease proteins) were airborn
Current president's political rival was the president back in the 2009 Ah1n1 outbreak. While I dislike him, must recognize at least he did the bare minimum to control the epidemic. But because that, thanks to aforementioned current president pettiness, he refused to take the same control measures bc I don't want to be like my rival hurrr 🤤
just go in quarantine for one week, except for essential workers
I assume I'll be out of work for two weeks, but there's no reason I couldn't work the purely infected patient ward while I have it.
That's where I got it from in the first place.
also i see a very stoopid thing about mericans: "you cant gather because covid but i can protest in mobs because is just"

But the flu is... in my experience... much more painful.
pneumonia is the worst tbh
Lethality is irrelevant
ngl if it were more lethal with the same contagion it would be more problematic
also i see a very stoopid thing about mericans: "you cant gather because covid but i can protest in mobs because is just"
@fair crater
Only if the mob votes democrat
im trying to be subtle
Subtlety is the greatest asset of the meek
But then there's the post covid effects....
post covid clarity
Frankly I still think us Americans will be wearing masks and following the same precautions in summer 2021
because some people just can’t take it seriously, and endanger everyone they know
can people not gather in mob pls 
All I want is a 6800xt or even an RTX 3080
cases are still going up in the US
dumb americans smh 
even in my state, which has done an excellent job at preventing more cases
Frankly I still think us Americans will be wearing masks and following the same precautions in summer 2021
What makes you think only the Americans will?
I know where you're coming from, but maybe this pandemic will last as long everywhere else
You can call me dumb, but, I'm barely suffering, and I've got it
Well what’s your age range
The young and strong take priority over the old and withered, and that's just how I feel.
you’re not a senior citizen, so you should be fine
but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to affect you
you are not going to die, but its the fact that this flu spread faster than the zone

Yes, but what does spread matter if severity is laughable
depletion in meds
The world population
hospitalized people
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/551229668469243917/771229768963063848/missing-image.png
@grand pendant
You fool, the 6800xt won't be available until next year either
What if the entire world was infected, given the fatality rate
Do you know how many people that is? 2-3% of the world population?
so what? better wait for the better
We already have a lot of people who don't produce anything useful
so they can die aye 
Like India
"If they are going to die, then let them, and decrease the surplus population!"
Or something like that, said Scrooge
Mind giving me a tldr of how you got to this from a stalker convo or smth?
I don’t think this is the appropriate channel...
the zone is linked to the pandedmic

Who can say, old Gajunas, who can say?
Mind giving me a tldr of how you got to this from a stalker convo or smth?
As yes, this is #⭐┃nospoilers_general
stalker 2 has covid 
Arguable
Clearly Sky is worse than the coof
cs suk
moonglum has covid so it started there
from a story point of view, yes
Arguable
Back on the rails, prove me wrong
I liked it. It's as big as ShoC, but you can repair and upgrade guns
Gameplay wise it has nothing on CoP
It has Ashot and Yar
cs has more bugs then the virus in moonglum's lungs rn 

I mean, my entire body has bugs.
It's called the digestive tract.
I haven't seen that many bugs myself
I still get surprised by the bug talks, I must've gotten a special bug free edition
PMm gang
The most buggy is SoC imho
PMm Gang
CoP gameplay is meh regarding combat, 1.6 was quite bad for the weapon sway
PMm Gang
yeah I haven’t encountered any bugs
Except a pack of blind dogs running stationary into one another
Lmao
It was a freedom mission I think
CoP had the stationary dogs as well
Grenade took out like 7 blind dogs since they were all close together
In Pripyat where you meet up with Sokolov and Vano
They just standing and biting them there
how about granata indicators pointing everywhere when there is one
I think that’s good
I had a lot the first time I played it
I'm replaying it with SRP and so far so good -except the sleeping bag keeps crashing
I miss clicked and ended up in 'recent mentions'.
I don't even know how to get there sober.
I stop what I’m doing and sprint in the other direction

i would like some cosmic horror in stalker 2
I'd like to play it
Cosmic horror? Just read about Lovecraft's space god
cosmic horror best horror

Which one tho
there’s like 20
There's like 20
man loftcraft is so good, i love his cat too 
The dumb one that vomits existence unwittingly
I mean some of STALKER’s mutants are pretty cosmic...
I enjoy lovecraft's stories probably the only thing im willing to read in pdf
i reallt fond of the unsettling idea of the great being beyond comprehension
Appearance and ability wise, at least
they arent that big
everything is cosmic, get good

they arent that big
Big/=/Cosmic
What rebel said
I mean, reality is perhaps above average human comprehension.
When some people realise that life is nothing more than an illusion brought on by interactions between particles, they neck themselves
bloodsuckers can be easily compared to aliens IMO
well the scale does do it, the zone aint really it
Dude the Colour ain't as big as Cthulhu but it's still cosmic
yeah
bloodsuckers can be easily compared to aliens IMO
Sure, why not
Monolith was also originally some alien crap
The... colour?
bloodsuckers remind me of the aliens in “Signs”
I mean that’s based on roadside picnic if I’m not mistaken
The... colour?
Ever read Colour out of Space?
No
the film
I read high fantasy almost exclusivly
Read it
the film has nicholas cage
All the space stuff is a reference to roadside picnic, but it was cut
what?
Regarding the monolith’s original role
As some meteorite ig, but iirc there was never plans for implementing it as such
I noticwesd
According to STALKER Design Document v1.4 from March 2002, the Wish Granter (referred to as the Black Monolith) instead of being an illusion was supposed to be an evolutionary module created by civilizations older than Earth's bacteria. The Monolith was supposed to control the evolution of all creatures on Earth to breed a race of conscious immortal beings with the help of viruses, natural disasters and war. Civilizations perished under it's rule until humankind appeared. 1000 years ago the Monolith was damaged and fell to the Earth, forming a 10 kilometer Zone around the CNPP. It is it that was supposed to be responsible for the mutation of the Zone fauna.
how is this related to Roadside Picnic?

might've read about it on the intro of RP
The book begins a decade after something alien, (called Visitors by human scientists) very briefly (approximately 12-24 hours) landed at 6 different locations around Earth (called Visitation Zones by human scientists). Neither the Visitors themselves nor their means of arrival were ever seen, but the people who lived in those areas reported explosions and loud noises that blinded some and caused others to catch a type of plague. Some areas of the Zones later became labeled by scientists as the 'First Blind Quarter', 'Plague Quarter', 'Second Blind Quarter' based on the effects the Visitation had on the population. These 6 areas (some populated towns) became infested with deadly phenomenon and littered with mysterious objects with various properties whose original purpose was incomprehensible by humans and so advanced that it bordered on the supernatural. Each Zone was perhaps the size of a few square miles in size, with abandoned buildings, railways and cars, some slowly decaying while others looking brand new. The Visitation Zones became extremely deadly areas to all forms of Earth life containing space-time anomalies, and random spots capable of killing by fire, lightning, gravity or other bizarre ways. The laws of physics sporadically worked in the Zones.
This old Monolith from builds is related to the Monolith from some movie. Space Odyssey?
anomalies, artifacts, the zone in its entirety, etc etc
Cosmic Odesssy lol, 2001 A Space Odessy and i think it has literally nothing to do
Ah
But i might be wrong or smth
Monolith definition
noun
1.
a large single upright block of stone, especially one shaped into or serving as a pillar or monument.
not really, but i see where you're coming from
the monolith are brainwashed femboys
the Black Monolith is different
^
the Monolith is something else, and the Wish Granter is an illusion
the wish granter is pimp
Erectstone
sid is a pimp
more so an "alien module" or smth, don't remember that exact dialogue so well
Well, now I'm not making money and I'm barely sick.
I mean
Well, we've been here a while, so we keep a pulse on things. Recently the Monolith faction turned up out of the blue. Some time ago I had a contract on a few Monolithians. Those guys are something else, I tell ya. Always going on about the Monolith, a genetic module, whatever it is. So, then they get up and leave on some kind of pilgrimage, beyond the Radar. We thought that was it - rest in peace, you silly bastards. But lo and behold - our pilgrims come right back, even crazier than before. Now I'm wondering as to what they got hold of, there in the center of the Zone. Could they have found the actual Monolith? Or did they find jack right alongside crap, and the frustration of it all made them go completely haywire? Hey, with those psychos - who knows
I guess the real danger of covid is being unemployed.
genetic module
indeed, and you can make other people unemployed too
Yeah, about that
See, Monolithians believe that the Monolith is an alien crystal from space that has brought the creation in the galaxy
There’s space-time anomalies, a lot of things are not too far fetched when taking into account all the wacky stuff in the zone
Other people wouldn't be unemployed without this overblown fear state
Jack crap 

So, seen how they believe that, genetic module wouldn't be too far off
so yeah, Black Monolith, Monolith and Wish Granter are different
Sid is just Belarussian general who fled for his war crimes
You stole my idea, cooler
Stop
cry me a river
You all stole Mez's idea smh
🙄
a
Please STALKER, I'll do anything for a sparkler
anything?
so that's what that poor stalker thought was a woman ecologist
catfished in the Zone
yikes
Kek
makes do
Apparently not
We all have to make compromises in such drastic times
its entirely possible since women arent in there
I'm wiling to say there are more women than femboys
They don't even look like women in prisons, and, well, ahem...
Female ecologists literally makes perfect sense
Yo can we not talk about femboys in stalker
Idk man you can't control other ppl opinions and arguements to redirect the conversation to another topic apparently i can confirm
tomboys in stalker make sense
anomaly turning storkers into thirsty femboys
I feel like the most likely candidate for female stalkers in the zone are Ecologists
It has to be freedom
Low testosterone hippies
Idk Yar has some pretty high testosterone
we already got spies
Okay, for what they literally say, it's basically a meteor that has brought the beginning of life from other planets
Pavlik, Lingov
Twig
Degtyarev
using that charisma perk
Guess I'm too used to the stereotypical trash ones
Deggy smile 
the man-zombie wandering in the zone with cat ears and ragged dresses
Okay, for what they literally say, it's basically a meteor that has brought the beginning of life from other planets
there is also a direct mention of the Black Monolith, dialogue they forgot to cut
Anyone seen the female models for some mods
Anyone seen the female models for some mods
Cursed
They’re laughable
People say many things. Some even say that everything that happens in the Zone and the Zone itself are alien handiwork. The theory is that they left a module, the Black Monolith, somewhere in the center, which changed everything around it. A sort of global experiment on mankind. It's like a weapons testing facility for them, you know? Stalkers collect artifacts and sell them on, which means that every large science research center probably has a few. And that's how the Black Monolith spreads its influence around the world. Nobody knows what the consequences will be. Maybe artifacts are just trinkets and maybe they really do affect humans somehow. Maybe this theory is a load of bull, but who's to say the Zone isn't here spreading artifacts around for a reason? If only we could get some answers from the people who've been beyond that damn radar. They could tell us if there's really a Monolith in the center or not - that would clear things up some
Hip is a femboy confirmed
Hot female duty members 
anyone seen the female models in metro 
All I saw was me being called rabbit, and I'm not into that kink
Pretty sure a female from Metro or smth got shown at the Xbox conference last night and ppl think it's S2
@tired anvil can I get a source
maybe they're the same but name changed
step on me duty mommy
Honestly, I can only try to get the pic for you Edi
CoP
ok that’s fine

I was watching the stream myself and I didn't see the part at all
So I'm confused myself a little
still 
Didn't someone post smth about it in one of the channels here?
Probably Anna in a radiation suit or something
Conservative Duty GF with big milky
people will be flocking to duty like no tomorrow

Irrelevant
No clue what this is about anymore, tbh
ok, stay with your men
did I stutter? 
@still ridge
No clue what this is about anymore, tbh
Same
Dudes really thinking this is S2
Lol how
Lmao bruh
A random ass frame, not even sure where it's from unless I'm blind and didn't see it in the Xbox stream
Just one frame?
In case it is, I'mma Scarlet Flower

Anomalous reefer
zone-produced weed is pure suckage, doubt it can even hit ya
unless planted on anomalies
I tried weed.
Never worked on me from anyone.
Whether eaten or smoked.
skinner weed
wirlweed 
if eating weed doesn't hit you, you got played
My dude
Nah, I'm just too much of a chad for weak old reefer
Seaweed
Well, as far as law enforcement is concerned... of course not
i dont even get to have weed 
or you got some of that paraguayan crap imported lmao
mfw weed is still illegal in most states but cigarettes have been legal forever
Cigarette actually pose a legitimate threat to your health...
Cigarettes are feminine.
Men smoke cigars or not at all.
cronge
Be like Big Boss.
Sneak cigars into wherever you're going.
I do that but with joints
imagine Boss going to the zone
Legal state 
Big Boss riding into the Zone with Shagohod
or sneak
there was an Iroquois in the Zone
Oregon just decriminalized small amounts of hard drugs
Always a good move
People should go to rehab for hard drug use, not prison
Let's decriminalize small amounts of murder to one-up them
the US prison system is focused on punishment rather than rehabilitation
Punishment is the way to improvement
i say we multiliate them
people who are addicted to dangerous drugs don’t deserve prison
They deserve rehabilitation so they can set their life on track
Duty veterans will need it
Did zulu quit drinking? I know cardan did
i once watched a movie about a death sentence where the victim get to decide what to cut off the prisoners body each time untill he dies
not talking about that 
i once watched a movie about a death sentence where the victim get to decide what to cut off the prisoners body each time untill he dies
Tf

🙄
i dont remember its name
Duty veterans will need it
Oh yes the adrenaline shots
Duty are too soft on visiting Loners
and more stuff i don't quite remember
They literally leave loners to die
So do other loners
And flint
duty works with the army right?
Duty are too soft on visiting Loners
during 2011 they pushed rookies near the borders
there’s scummy stalkers in every faction
duty works with the army right?
could be, high ranks got contact with veterans
And that's soft
aye screw the army
but Duty and the Army have a KoS relationship
thats what they say
Also zulu when you get to Pripyat in CoP


Don't think he played CoP either

i read rp if that can do something 
installed mods
game glitched
mad
ZRP
Well zulu was smart enough to just leave the area when he found out about Degtyarev and the army
srp
So you did play CS
he barely got to Garbage
strider’s remark after the encounter is hilarious
the loading/saving bug was not as severe in soc
What bug?
now i have to load accordingly or the game choke on itself
Monotone voice: “and I don’t give a rat’s ass who’s working for who”
somekind of remembering tasks state something
strider is a chad
Smoke grenades do anything useful?
Very
the state of one task get transfered to other saves causing havoc
my task's waypoints are all screwd up because of it
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not lol
But yeah, down with Vanilla
but there is dyed hair Freedom tomboy
BRB joining freedom
@pseudo rivet Who is Bruiser? 
Синяк?
Crimson's busy, but it's a folklore name
he's dead i think, in the Hatch into Heaven
Синяк is a slang name for people, that like to drink a lot

yeah, he is dead
i'd send the text but it's too long and full of swears
basically, a stalker attachs explosives to his bulletproof vest. Bruise and Loop kill him, try to rmove his vest and blow up

yeah, folklore has cool stuff like this
So. It's one of the bandits, that died robbing some stalker.
In the Russian version they sound like bandits
in english the guy talking he is british lol
lmao mez, you need to read english version
he is full on irish/british
it's "the Hatch into Heaven"https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_of_Chernobyl_PDA_entries#Local_folklore
Their names are names, that's given by criminals.

Bruise and Loop are just common nicknames, so english translation lost the meaning
thanks
What's a Sinyak
Bruise - Синяк - a man, that drinks alot
Loop - Цепа - I don't know what does it mean, since I don't know full bandit slang (
)
I know a lot of people, which can be called Sinyaks 
I still don't understand 'ы' pronunciation
I'm also pretty sure that I just cannot roll my r's as a result of genetics
In-game Bandits use these kind of words very often:
Маслина - olive
Короче - "so" or "like"
Подъехал - in the context of "came up"
Хренакнет - blow up
Жмур/ик - dead man
Типа - like
I still don't understand 'ы' pronunciation
Yeah. That's a weird one if compared to English
Балет is my favourite 

Is prohibited to translate here, no doubt
it has no translation, just balet. Meaning is sort of a jail term i'm not to keen with, but it could be a person doing small criminal jobs
Valet* but yeah
Why does not anyone speak Ukrainian
Those criminal things are big part of Russia. So most of us know it perfectly 
Why does not anyone speak Ukrainian
in the game? Freedom does
and bandits, sort of
Oh, neat
Why does not anyone speak Ukrainian
Well. They have their own translation
i heard Duty is just russian in both russian loc and ukranian
Yeah
I like to think the devs recognize the coming falsehood that will be Ukrainian independence
I even remember a discussion, like, why it was called "Долг" and not "Борг" or "Обов'язок"
You are slav, Meztinos?
Yes, I'm
Borg
Teach me the slang of the Rooskies
Krylov mentions something like that
first STALKER game i beat was Call of Pripyat
i was trying to do SoC but dark valley killed my PC every time
potato from like 2014
I'll sound like a complete and utter square if I ever go to Russia with only what I've learned from Duolingo.
The gopniks will beat me
And you skipped CS didn't you
Slangs of oldies, young men, younger, criminal slang, russian PC masters slang...

oh, it's not the map. It's usually a glitch with a bolt catching wrong light or smth
try quicksaving and quickloading until it stops crashing
all i know is, as far as i could tell it was just extreme lag
yeah, try what i said or just restart the game. PCs from 2007 had to run SoC
@native ibex But you can ping me, if you want to know what does some russian word mean
well i lost my saves and computer data to an emission that the local community of stalkers called a "trojan"
that could be the reason on why it worked bad as well, virus.
np
@finite dragon
Who are Marauders?
Are you asking him for real? 

It's so sad, that people responsible for the Stalker translations were incompetent af.
A lot of mistakes. Like tons of them.
SoC was full of mistakes, CoP is just total misinformation. CS seems to have even fixed some stuff
rip for the people who don't know Strelok had a whole faction thanks to a misstranslation (although there is a stash related to it)

Data brought up the faction stuff yesterday
h e y b r o
h o w d y h o
so yeah, there's a text that says all his "group" got killed during 2012, but how is that possible if their status was unknown? turns out they just misstranslated faction to group, willingly apparently, or they thought they were the same
Otter was either part of the Group or most likely, the actual Faction. Maybe just a psycho

i saw someone with a STALKER cursor in #📸┃screens_and_videos
i now have it installed as well and i do not regret it
its a bit faster than the actual one but it's still pretty neat
@finite dragon
Who are Marauders?
@pseudo rivet Not sure
Duty's nickname for the Mercs at the Wild Territory
Oi, thanks
Duty's nickname for the Mercs at the Wild Territory
@pseudo rivet Who says the dialogue confirming this?
Also, who is Co? (Character)
Random Duty NPC in Rostok
He's a guy part of a group which consisted of Bruiser, Seriy, Mole and him 
Just open up the mission details of "Save mole" (could've been "talk to mole or something")
You misread the heck out of that

it says Mole and Co. as im company
I indeed misread it then 
actually there are 2 dialogues, one says Mole and Co, the othet says Mole and Co. but keeps talking after the dot as if it wasn't finished sentence
I wonder why you said "No"
Basically confusion asf
Dolg moment
Doody
Misunderstanding
both dialogues i know are from Seriy and Seriy's flashdrive if he dies
both dialogues i know are from Seriy and Seriy's flashdrive if he dies
@grand pendant Seriy is the guy in the hangar, correct?
correct
He didn't drop no god damn flash drive when a bandit wrecked him, a task "Meet Mole" was asspulled right after 

Seems pretty obvious to me

Respect, dude

So, every detail has been discovered now?
regarding Co., sure
it's both
At least the 3rd time he's been told this now
We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.
Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith
yeah i shot him with a dragunov before he got through the other 2/3rds of his speech
@quaint lark My mate did that on his first ever playthrough and I was like "DUDE?!?!" but both in the sense of "wait you can do that?" and "how dare you cut him off!" 😆
is the psy protection upgrade for Cs-1 body armour in CS actually good or useless?
@quaint lark My mate did that on his first ever playthrough and I was like "DUDE?!?!" but both in the sense of "wait you can do that?" and "how dare you cut him off!" 😆
@leaden hamlet lmao
is the psy protection upgrade for Cs-1 body armour in CS actually good or useless?
@past shuttle I'd say go for it, but then again the psy effect makes me nauseous due to, to use the proper nomenclature, the "wibbly-wobblys" 😁
@pseudo rivet Mercs don't have a faction leader, right?
No, since it's not an actual faction
O, since they have no ideology or whatever? Just stalkers in The Zone making cash?
Because they are literally random dudes who got sent there for money
They are groups
Because they are literally random dudes who got sent there for money
Sent by who?
Do you not understand how mercenaries work
You get a contract, you go kill
they are tough like soldiers but also like loners
Yeah, I get it
its not easy to track down clients
Also Crimson, was Krylov the leader of Duty ever since it's creation in 2006? @pseudo rivet
Was Tachenko ever a leader?
Guess the founder of Duty never lead it 
who was the duty trader in ShoC?
@pseudo rivet I'm playing RoBeats, stfu
forgot the name
Petrenko
What's the context for all these questions again? @finite dragon
Colonel Petrenko
aha got it thanks

now I remember he reappeared in CoP
🤔
in Jupiter
