woman cringe

[lone finch]

Hippie, I see you are a man of culture.

[finite dragon]

[lone finch]

Maybe freedom isn't that bad

Tho having sexy time with a blood sicker isn't my thing.

[tired anvil]

It's also not canon

[lone finch]

I know. It's just a meme.

But still. Anarchy not my taste.

[verbal hemlock]

Oh, you like the military?

Name every member of Operation Fairway.

[tired anvil]

@finite dragon @lone finch we shall

[finite dragon]

Yes

[lone finch]

Duty are trators and it is quite sad that the military doesn't have the manpower to destroy and forcefully integrate duty.

[finite dragon]

Duty suck

#mercsOG4life

[lone finch]

Most of the guys they hire end up doing a better job than the military would’ve done tbh. Lefty, Topol, Hatchet, Strelok, Scar, other loner guards

Still doesn't justify that loners are people braking the law.

[finite dragon]

hm weren't you a dutyer before?

[verbal hemlock]

Duty protects free stalkers from bandits and assists the Ecologists

Most of Duty’s flaws lie in their rhetoric, while their actions are mostly positive

[finite dragon]

Duty sucks

MercsOG4life

[verbal hemlock]

this exact faction setup also reminds me of another notable faction in another series... cough cough Brotherhood of Steel cough cough

[lone finch]

He is traitor, as you can see the perfect example why we need the military to get in the mud and stop the madness and eradicate the all of the factions exept ecologists.

[finite dragon]

FNF X S.T.AL.K.E.R. when?

Bruh im a merc

[verbal hemlock]

Duty and the Brotherhood are both written to talk all of this garbage to make them seem more morally gray while most of their actual actions save lives and make the Zone/Wasteland a safer place

[lone finch]

I see you are a man of fallout new vegas. Duty is actually very different from brotherhood.

[verbal hemlock]

well if you’re thinking of New Vegas’s Brotherhood, sure

[soft ice]

Is there a limit to how many times you can quicksave in soc

[finite dragon]

When?!?!?!!!??!

[verbal hemlock]

the Brotherhood in New Vegas is a whole unique situation

[finite dragon]

cringe ass faction war. everyone is bad the end

[finite dragon]

Yes

[lone finch]

Duty are not crazy religous technology worshiping crazies, they so not kill people on sight for owning tehcnology, and they let people join them. Very different then BOS @verbal hemlock

[finite dragon]

How to become a better person at the zone: go to the brain scorcher

[lone finch]

Go to a military outpost turn yourself in, we will totally not have a trail and shoot you.

[finite dragon]

Duty: stinking anarchist
Freedom: stinking boomers

[lone finch]

Military:Chads

[finite dragon]

Bruh ur a military

[lone finch]

Yes

[finite dragon]

The military killed my friend

[lone finch]

Good

[verbal hemlock]

The Brotherhood doesn’t kill people on sight for owning technology either lol, find me some actual evidence of that. And they let people join them in most of the games in the series (the only times they don’t, in 1, 2, and part of 3, is because they are preparing for war against a massive faction and don’t want to be infiltrated or otherwise troubled. Even in those games they make deals with traders and save lives on the outside.

[finite dragon]

Now time to pay

[verbal hemlock]

Duty and the Brotherhood are a very similar idea

[finite dragon]

Duty and military is cringe.

Freedom and mercs are swag

[lone finch]

BOS confiscates technology and if you refuse they will kill you.

[finite dragon]

weird. when i posted my memes, everyone suddenly to argue about faction

[verbal hemlock]

No, they don’t. Like I said, there’s no actual evidence of that ever occurring. I’ve had this debate on the actual fallout wiki a million times lol

[lone finch]

Freedumplings and mercs = anarchists, bandits, lawbreakers and cringes.

[finite dragon]

:(

[lone finch]

Idk man I played fo1, 2, and new vegas, the dialogue of npc shows that the BOS are super hostile to outsiders especially if you have good technology.

[finite dragon]

Dooodie,militari,dumbdits,freedumb,ecocklogist,boomers,rock worshippers,memercs

[lone finch]

On FO1 they send you to do an impossible mission.

[finite dragon]

Im running out of ideas

Ok understandable

Im just gonna go to FNF fandom

Bye

[verbal hemlock]

The Brotherhood is concerned with technology falling into the wrong hands, they’re afraid that history might repeat itself and wipe out humanity once again. Thus they collect and protect technology, and eventually their plan is to give it out to the right people to build civilizations when the time is right. An example of the Brotherhood actually fulfilling this goal is seen after the events of Fallout 1, the NCR exists as it does in 2 and NV because the Brotherhood gave them advanced technology to rebuild and create a civilization.

Duty believes that the Zone is a threat to humanity, and thus they try to ‘destroy it’, while also protecting free stalkers from threats and assisting the ecologists in their research, both things that the Brotherhood also does in most of their appearances.

[finite dragon]

Oh my god

[lone finch]

Doody are trators, Mercs are western spies, bandits are criminal scum, freedom are anarchist bastards, ecologists are useful nerds that should work closer with military, monolith are abominations and must die.

[finite dragon]

Yes

[verbal hemlock]

That entire mission is more of a “we’re preparing to fight a war against the biggest threat the wasteland has ever seen, here’s an impossible and vague task so you can get out of our hair.” They didn’t expect people to actually try it, they just didn’t want to be bothered at the time.

[finite dragon]

FNF X S.T.A.L.K.E.R. WHEN?!!?!!

[finite dragon]

Gordon freeman join the ecologist

Cuz hes a nerd

[finite dragon]

Mercs are NATO

[lone finch]

Yes western spies

[finite dragon]

Also what is NATO

[verbal hemlock]

the entire thing is basically a polite way of them saying “go away, we’re trying to prepare for a war here and we aren’t recruiting at this time”

[lone finch]

North Atlantic something something orginization which is a military alien ce between western nations.

[finite dragon]

Ok

[verbal hemlock]

North Atlantic Treaty Organization

[finite dragon]

Ok

[lone finch]

Ah yes FO1 sending the main guy on a sucide mission, very nice of you BOS

[verbal hemlock]

basically “Soviet Union bad, let’s make a pact to prevent them from messing with us lol”

[finite dragon]

Does mercs wears a bacpack?

[lone finch]

Yes

[finite dragon]

what fallout had anything to do with this

[verbal hemlock]

like I said, they didn’t actually expect or force anyone to try to go on the mission.

[verbal hemlock]

I was just comparing Duty and the Brotherhood, seeing as they’re basically the same faction idea at their cores

[finite dragon]

ok

[lone finch]

Idk he just started randomly comparing bos with duty even tho they are very different, so yeah. Idk man I guess fallout is so popular that even stalker can't rest in peace without somebody mentioning fallout.

[finite dragon]

Ok

When the ecologist is sus

[verbal hemlock]

It wasn’t like a “go on this desperate suicide mission or we’ll kill you and wipe out your whole family.” it was “if you wanna join us, do this impossible mission that we don’t even really give you the details for because we don’t expect you to actually try it and we just want you to go home”

[verbal hemlock]

I was just comparing the writing of Duty to the writing of the Brotherhood. Both Duty and The Brotherhood are (lazily) written to say rhetoric that makes them seem more morally gray or bad whereas most of their actions are actually positive and help people.

[lone finch]

Ecologists are good people, they just need to ditch the loners and mercs in favor of working closer with military.

[finite dragon]

is it worth it to join bandit in clear sky?

[gusty trench]

no

Bandits can suck my olive.

[limber lagoon]

was there any news about stalker 2 that i missed? or nahh?

[gusty trench]

naaaah

FAQ was updated

[verbal hemlock]

I hope we can get some more details soon

The part in the recent video about Duty and Freedom will never meet in agreement is slightly concerning lol, I hope there’s some way to get them to agree to a truce or some questline like that in the game

I get the whole point is that they’re opposing forces but it would be nice to see them working alongside each other for once, even if only reluctantly to fight against a bigger threat.

CoP was drifting towards that scenario, but the bigger idea in CoP was that both factions were in heavy decline and eventually people just started leaving both

[lone finch]

Hmm, well monolith are the biggest threat, but the problem is is that how can you make Anarchists and Authoritarians cooperate especially when one wants to to destroy the zone and the other one wants free zone.

[verbal hemlock]

Yep, this is the problem we face

The thing is is that Duty and Freedom’s actual actions beyond their ideologies are pretty similar

[lone finch]

That is why just give the military all of the tools

[verbal hemlock]

they both protect free stalkers, collect artifacts, work with ecologists, fight baddies, etc. Working together at least in the short term would be largely beneficial for both of them

[lone finch]

The military in a twisted sence is the most neutral faction.

[verbal hemlock]

I wish the military was more of a neutral/interactable faction than an enemy faction

CoP was also drifting towards that with the Fairway guys, I hope we see a deeper version of the military in S2 where they’re more than just bad guys to shoot at

[lone finch]

Military aren't enemies they just hate lawbreakers and shoot on sight, because let's be honest what would happen if you bring a guy form the zone, he could have possessions or something beyond our understanding that might cause a lot of problems

[verbal hemlock]

Oh yeah for sure

I understand the reasoning behind it, but it would be cooler if the military in practice was much more willing to deal with and work with free stalkers, at least groups of them

My game ideology is heavily influenced by New Vegas where you can basically make deals between all of the factions and there are only a few preset to be natural enemies lmao

[lone finch]

Explain to me, how can you work with someone that literaly breaks the law. But in all fairness I agree working with loners as expendable meat is ok by my standarts.

[verbal hemlock]

Every time I have to fight military guys in SoC, CS, and Anomaly, I’m just thinking like, “damn, I wish I could’ve talked to them or worked for them instead”

[lone finch]

No, I see the wisdom of using free stalkers as meat.

[verbal hemlock]

Well, the military clearly has very little oversight in the Zone. A lot of military guys are extorting free stalkers, so it’s not too far fetched that they might make deals or work with them as well

[lone finch]

Exactly, extort the free stalkers take the valuables and bring any shiny, or intresting things to the ecologists and give an empty promise to the free stalker and send him on some mission to betray his friend or something.

[verbal hemlock]

The military groups in the zone would be a lot better off and they would lose a lot less men if they were more agreeable with free stalkers and neutral/good factions

[lone finch]

Indeed. Don't shoot stalker on sight, and use them as expendable useless meat.

[verbal hemlock]

See how much Major Degtyarev gets done when he acts as a free stalker and works with the different groups instead of shooting them on sight

He basically saves everyone’s lives and improves the situation in Zaton, Yanov, and even in Pripyat

and benefits quite well himself

[finite dragon]

why military in every game is always bad lol

[lone finch]

Yeah, but you see he cares a little too much about free stalker.

[lone finch]

They have to.

[verbal hemlock]

It would be cool if there were questlines in Stalker 2 to make different factions agreeable with each other

[lone finch]

When you are dealing with maintaining a permite and any mistake of letting someone out may mean destruction of civilizatikn then I think they have to be mean.

[verbal hemlock]

like in New Vegas

[lone finch]

No.

I don't want stalker to become like new vegas

I want stalker to stay like stalker.

Of you being a worthless nobody

[finite dragon]

and no woman

[lone finch]

[finite dragon]

no 80s card game, no people wearing fancy suit in the middle of wasteland

[verbal hemlock]

Imagine a whole subterfuge and diplomacy questline centered around making a truce between Freedom and Duty or having them work together temporarily to fight a separate threat (something on that scale would assuredly be heavily involved and detailed due to the magnitude of the result)

I’m not saying I want STALKER to turn into Fallout

But the particular element of diplomacy and faction maneuvering would be great in STALKER

[verbal hemlock]

uhhhhhh... Scar, Strelok, and Deggy would like to have a conversation

All three of them basically change the zone overnight

[finite dragon]

reason i like duty is because of their uniform

[verbal hemlock]

lol

[finite dragon]

and freepoo because they are nice

[verbal hemlock]

me too my man, me too

[opaque parrot]

Same here lol

[verbal hemlock]

Hmm

[lone finch]

I mean in the start, also I do not want nv quests.

[verbal hemlock]

NV quests is basically half of CoP lol. There’s a reason why I call CoP New Vegas before New Vegas

[lone finch]

But still they didn't magically change the faction relations and make military love free stalkers

[verbal hemlock]

I’m just spitballing the idea, it doesn’t have to be a magic and instant transformation between the factions, it can be more detailed and expansive, over a larger course of time, etc

maybe it can happen over several questlines in different places, that eventually the two groups would become more amicable to each other

On a different note

[lone finch]

God you make me hate Fallout. I hate when people compare fallout and Stalker. Both are different and both have there own way, I enjoy stalker because it doesn't have voice actors and huge side quests and only the main story, I enjoy stalker for its ai and very amazing athmosphere etc

[verbal hemlock]

damn I hope I haven’t made you hate fallout more than I hate myself

[lone finch]

Bruh don't hate yourself

There is no need.

[finite dragon]

Can we agree that fallout 1 and 2 is the best game

[verbal hemlock]

Yes, Fallout and Stalker are both very different and are unique in their own ways, but CoP and New Vegas are two games that do a lot of the same things, and I only compare them in positive ways, I love both of them.

[lone finch]

Fallout 1 is the best of the series yes I agree 100%

[verbal hemlock]

My favorite is Fallout 2

But I love all of the games

I’m like, one of the few people that loves STALKER, Metro and Fallout, and every game in each series. A lot of people have to hate one or the other or the other for some reason

[lone finch]

Fair. But I didn't really like it because of more lighthearted wasteland.

[verbal hemlock]

I see your point there lol

I like the thick atmosphere of Fallout 1 and 3, more akin to Metro and STALKER

2 is a different idea, and thus has a different atmosphere/more lightheartedness in some places

[finite dragon]

i never played those 2 games but the story is very interesting

[lone finch]

Maybe because being an Eastern European gives me an attraction to bleak, desolate, hopeless atmosphere. I don't hate all of the fallout games, i just don't like fo4 and 76. Stalker games, I like them all tho I only played once all of them, but anomaly is a mod, but it gives me what I want a complete sandbox where you are nobody and a worthless peace if meat.

[finite dragon]

i once bought fallout 3 to see if the game is good. I regret it

[verbal hemlock]

I try only to compare Fallout, Metro, and Stalker in positive ways

[lone finch]

Idk i played fo3 i liked it, it was fun.

[verbal hemlock]

Fo3 is a very complex game for me

[lone finch]

???

[verbal hemlock]

it does a lot right, and a lot wrong

[lone finch]

Ah

[finite dragon]

the gameplay is kinda ass

[verbal hemlock]

I mean complex in terms of my mixed opinion on it

[lone finch]

Yeah all of the 3d exept 4 have clunky trash gunplay

[verbal hemlock]

I love it tho, but I recognize it’s issues and the issues people have with it

A lot of people compare 3 to New Vegas and 1 to 2, I honestly think it’s easier to compare 1 to 3 and 2 to NV, despite the different gameplay styles

1 and 3 are both like, the barebones apocalypse, mostly wasteland with a few settlements and factions sparsely spread out

2 and NV are much more post-post-apocalypse, new civilizations and such, less focus on the dark post-apocalypse

[lone finch]

Fo1 is the only game that athmosphere comes close to Stalker.

[verbal hemlock]

I can see why you say that

I think 3 comes close as well though

[finite dragon]

stalker gauss rifle is inspired from fallout 1

[verbal hemlock]

Yessss

[finite dragon]

the only thing that makes me happy

[verbal hemlock]

Well, it was Fallout 2, but same idea lol

[lone finch]

Eh stalker gaus rifle seems less retrofuturistic and that is why I like stalker less restrofuturism.

[lone finch]

Not in sound design

[verbal hemlock]

lol, I see your point there

[finite dragon]

I can't remember how i started to like stalker

but the game makes me depressed because of the atmosphere

[verbal hemlock]

All I know is that I am happy I’m a fan of Fallout, Stalker, and Metro, that I can enjoy all three of them.

We’ve got STALKER 2 on the way, a new Metro game in the works, and somewhere deep down, a new fallout is being conceptualized

that’s the best part

[lone finch]

I got into stalker through racevyk and then wanted to play the game so badly, but didn't have a pc yet so i waited then when I got one as a kid pirated all of the main games (cousins help ofc) and after a while my pc broke so I got a laptop rememberd stalker exists and so I got anomaly and here is where I'm now.

[verbal hemlock]

Hmm

I wonder if there’s a Metro modding scene.

[finite dragon]

i don't think so

[verbal hemlock]

obviously mods are a huge part of STALKER and to a slightly lesser extent, Fallout

never heard of any Metro mods though, story or otherwise

[lone finch]

Idk metro didn't intrest me much i read the books, but didn't really like it. I'm just not for linear shooters.

[verbal hemlock]

I hear you

Exodus was a lot more open though, and I expect the next game to be much more open with the addition of multiplayer

We will see how the situation develops

brb

[lone finch]

To me, multyplayer is a the last tought, I hope stalker 2 will not have multyplayer, but rather good ai and a very well advance A-life sistem

[verbal hemlock]

It depends on the nature of the multiplayer

But yeah I hope STALKER 2 doesn’t waste any assets on the multiplayer function

[finite dragon]

imagine stalker coop

[lone finch]

No

[verbal hemlock]

now that would be the life, man

in a perfect world free of developmental constraints we could have both the full singleplayer experience and the full cooperative experience

they’d both be great

[finite dragon]

there's a mod for stalker named Ray of hope?

[lone finch]

In a perfect world I would be making stalker game and we would have votes on what to add

[lone finch]

Yeah there is, but hasn't received any new stuff

[finite dragon]

Well that's sad

[lone finch]

I'm sounding very elitist I know, but I would love stalker to stay the same as it is just with better graphics, better more immersive hud (I play without huff most of the time) more immersive gun repair and food systems, better ai, better A-life and very nice sound design to immerse me.

[verbal hemlock]

I hear you man, I understand your view. I however, think there’s a lot more potential for other aspects to develop and be a bigger part of the game, interactions with factions, choices, dialogue, more in depth questlines, etc.

[finite dragon]

graphic is the most important thing in gaming these days

[tired anvil]

I mean, better dialogue/options is a given

Idm if feature wise it stays pmuch the same though

[verbal hemlock]

I think it’ll continue the trend that CoP started

[lone finch]

Honestly to me it doesn't matter. I just don't want to become that open world like any other big games

[finite dragon]

cyberpunk cough

[lone finch]

I don't want stalker to lose what stalker had. I don't want stalker to lose its soul.

[verbal hemlock]

It won’t lose its soul

trust me on that

CoP changed a lot and was structured differently, yet it didn’t lose the soul of STALKER

[finite dragon]

we still have funny man screaming cheeki breeki

[lone finch]

Indeed :D

[quick dune]

anybody playing some cs multiplayer?

[hushed current]

The only way I see freedom and duty working together is if there was a threat that needed there corporation to defeat I feel a much stronger alliance could be made with freedom and the ecologists since they both have an interest in researching the zone

[remote oak]

I know that discussion was earlier @lone finch but I hope they also just deliver a stable immersive stalker game and then build upon that with all of the considered suggestions / updates. I think some games have so much going on it looses stability or authenticity.. cyberpunk.. or like any other game coming out now that has a money hungry publishers or companies behind them instead of passionate developers but GSC are good at what they do I wouldnt be worried

listen to this and tell me the ads for freedom aint better than duty ones

[gusty trench]

@finite dragon
Loners - free stalkers that came into the Zone to earn money, hide from police, to get get a new experience.
Bandits - came to earn money by robbing and using Loners as slaves.
Mercs - came to earn money by killing people and doing contracts. Most of the factions kill them on sight.
Duty - volunteers, ex-soldiers and deserters. Want to destroy the Zone.
Military - just military
Monolith - want to defend the Holy Monolith and the Zone from any intruder. Kill on sight.
Freedom - anarchists that counter the government and other factions like Duty
Ecologists - they research the Zone and its creatures
Clear Sky - same as Ecos but work for a group of scientists and want to coexist with the Zone

[finite dragon]

Thanks bro

All this in what type of stalkers games?

[wicked current]

sounds like soc

[gusty trench]

They all present in Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat but such factions as Renegades (Bandits but worse) and Clear Sky present only in Clear Sky

[finite dragon]

Ok thank

[pseudo rivet]

"Bandits but worse" as in mugging and killing people instead of taxing them

[tired anvil]

@finite dragon What game are you starting with btw

||It should be Shadow of Chernobyl||

[finite dragon]

Call of prt

[pseudo rivet]

Check spoiler

[finite dragon]

But is infinite game?

[pseudo rivet]

Well, the games do have endings

But yeah, they are "infinite" games

[finite dragon]

Cool

You can enter in the NPP?

[pseudo rivet]

In SoC, yeah

[finite dragon]

Soc?

[pseudo rivet]

You can reach the CNPP in CS, but you cannot enter it

Shadow of Chernobyl

SoC

CS is Clear Sky

And Call of Pripyat is CoP

[finite dragon]

Cop?

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Call of Pripyat

[finite dragon]

Ok, sorry

[pseudo rivet]

No worries, you're new

[finite dragon]

Some guiz on yt enter in one of npp and swim in water

[pseudo rivet]

[wary cove]

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds like another game, tbh

There's no swimming in STALKER

[finite dragon]

Thanks guys you are very kind

[finite dragon]

No no in real life

[pseudo rivet]

Oh

Yeah kek

[finite dragon]

Is famous

Super sus

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[wary cove]

the closest to "swimming" in the game is walking almost waist deep in the water

[finite dragon]

Hahahah

[pseudo rivet]

Or low crouching in Zaton's water

[wary cove]

pmuch

[pseudo rivet]

You'll be under the water

[finite dragon]

Guiz what is your favorite stalker?

[pseudo rivet]

Mine is CS, but a lot of guys would disagree

Not here, though

Surprisingly a lot of CS fans here

[wary cove]

I like all of them but cs>cop>soc in that order

[finite dragon]

I know pretty much everything about Chernobyl and I've never played a Stalker, I mean I played it but on a computer that lagged hahahahah

Sorry the English

[tired anvil]

No worries

Though if you like Chernobyl that much, it would be best for you to start with Shadow of Chernobyl

That and it's best to start with it in general

[finite dragon]

Okke

But the game that all create meme like on yt, what is?

[wary cove]

[finite dragon]

Salame

I know is a stupid question

[tired anvil]

?

Oh

I'm not sure if I understand your question. What meme?

[finite dragon]

Like the video

[wary cove]

got an example?

[tired anvil]

They're from all the games

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat

[finite dragon]

The guy whit 300000subscrubers

[tired anvil]

They're from all the games

[finite dragon]

Oh sorry

[timber veldt]

[tired anvil]

Woah, the real Tobu Fox is here

[wary cove]

Nikolai?

[tired anvil]

Creator of the world famous game...Unturned!

[verbal hemlock]

I’m never one to rank games in a series

[finite dragon]

?

[verbal hemlock]

because I usually love all of them

[tired anvil]

Same, but I love SoC the least, whilst a lot love it the most

[verbal hemlock]

But Clear Sky and its version of the Zone just have a very special place in my heart

it’s really just like SoC but with more people and more stuff

[hushed aurora]

CS Gang, tbh

SoC but better

[verbal hemlock]

basically

[finite dragon]

Yes!!!

[tired anvil]

One hell of a “DLC”

[verbal hemlock]

all of the areas actually have more than one purpose in Clear Sky

[hushed aurora]

Exactly

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

Nikolai moment

[wary cove]

[verbal hemlock]

In SoC it’s like every area has a very specific purpose for the main quest and that’s it 😂

[finite dragon]

Yes!! He

[pseudo rivet]

Plays mods

[hushed aurora]

You only have to visit Agroprom like twice, tbh

In SoC

[tired anvil]

You want SurDno to kill you huh

[hushed aurora]

Whilst in CS it's a more common place to visit

[pseudo rivet]

Impossible

[finite dragon]

He's not here is he

[verbal hemlock]

CS: “what if we actually filled most of the enemy-shoot-up places from SoC with factions and questlines ”

[finite dragon]

Sorry guiz but who is tubu..

[tired anvil]

Tobu?

[finite dragon]

Is famous?

[tired anvil]

Just a creator of a game

A bit famous, but nothing special

[pseudo rivet]

Toby Fox made Nethertall

[finite dragon]

What?

[verbal hemlock]

Toby Fox ❤️

[pseudo rivet]

This isn't him, though

[verbal hemlock]

Man is a genius

[tired anvil]

Developer of a game called Undertale

[verbal hemlock]

I just started playing Undertale recently

And it’s brilliant

[finite dragon]

Is the creator of undertale?

Wtf

[tired anvil]

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

Not this guy, though

[finite dragon]

WHAT

[pseudo rivet]

He's someone with a similar name

[tired anvil]

Edo, where are you from?

[verbal hemlock]

He’s from Edo

[finite dragon]

Yessir

[verbal hemlock]

they moved the capital of Japan to there once

[finite dragon]

The zone

Hahahaah

[tired anvil]

Ah, so you're Ukrainian

[finite dragon]

I like how in CS factions are building their strength and seems like the zone will become a better place and then in SoC you see everything fell apart, its kinda depressing ngl

No

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Pizza

Pasta

[tired anvil]

Oh, Italy

[wary cove]

Italian

[finite dragon]

Pizza is good

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

Italy

[finite dragon]

By guiz I need to go

[tired anvil]

Bye

[finite dragon]

Thank

[pseudo rivet]

Cya later

[finite dragon]

But I see message

Lol

[wary cove]

read you later 👋

[verbal hemlock]

Yep. Clear Sky got flattened at the Plant, Duty and Freedom beat the crap out of each other, and the free stalkers never managed to unite and gain strength. Quite sad

[hushed aurora]

Cya

[verbal hemlock]

I like that Spatial Anomaly fills in the gap of Beast assassinating Father Valerian, shows how the free stalkers are still disorganized and weak during SoC.

[finite dragon]

cya?

[pseudo rivet]

See you

[tired anvil]

Cya - ciao

Bye bye

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

ciao?

[pseudo rivet]

As in "See you later"

[tired anvil]

So much for Italian

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

hhahahaha

bye

[verbal hemlock]

there are several different wavelengths in this channel currently

we’re all on different ones

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

The scientists of the C-Con

[pseudo rivet]

We Are In The Beam

[tired anvil]

We can also abuse that one command a lot

[wary cove]

what was that

[tired anvil]

you mean this?

[pseudo rivet]

We Are In The Beam

[wary cove]

I forgot discord had text to speech

nice

[hushed aurora]

It does

[tired anvil]

So did I

[hushed aurora]

It's kinda kek

[tired anvil]

Kinda trash

[hushed aurora]

Yes

[wary cove]

still laughing about Vova killing my laptop yesterday

[tired anvil]

Ayo what

[hushed aurora]

Yeah

[tired anvil]

That's a story I haven't heard of

[hushed aurora]

Grace tried streaming the Holy Run, and well laptop crashed

[wary cove]

Did a drunk holy run and laptop crashed

ye

[wicked current]

haha

[tired anvil]

Your fault for being drunk

Someone recently crashed their whole PC/windows by quicksaving on one of the mines in Limansk

[pseudo rivet]

Red Forest?

[tired anvil]

Amazing how much power CS has to this day

[hushed aurora]

Lmao

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

[wary cove]

well, Scar was the drunk one

[tired anvil]

Where'd you get Red Forest from ?

[pseudo rivet]

What mines in Limansk?

[wicked current]

scar must be some sort of prophet

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

The ones in the city

Before the ambush

[wicked current]

hospital tunnels?

[tired anvil]

No before those

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Like barely past the start of the city

[wicked current]

aha

[pseudo rivet]

Oh

[hushed aurora]

I think i remember them

[pseudo rivet]

Actual landmines

[tired anvil]

Yeah

[pseudo rivet]

Kewl

[wary cove]

bobby trap mines (?)

[tired anvil]

What type of mines did you have in mind?

[pseudo rivet]

Mines

[tired anvil]

You step - you kaboom

Oh

Digging mines

[pseudo rivet]

Dig dug pickaxe mines

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

I want more dig dug pickaxe mines

[pseudo rivet]

I want more dig dug pickaxe mines

[wicked current]

yeah, i thought of tunnels lol

[pseudo rivet]

Decently underused in games

I remember when Reckoning: Kingdom of Amalur gave the player their own mine which they could expand

I was like "Oh man, I can dig my own dungeon. What a neat concept"

Turns out that you can only upgrade that area to expand a little bit

[tired anvil]

Me in the CS mines: oh nice, tunnels

blocked

Day ruined

[wary cove]

now that's rant video material

[tired anvil]

For sure

[wicked current]

the renegade viet-cong tunnels.

[wary cove]

everybody: complaining about low crouch and bleeding
CS connoisseur: unaccesible map areas

[pseudo rivet]

Renegades underground base

😎

[hushed aurora]

Pretty based

[tired anvil]

If you complain about the bleeding, you're too new and suck

[wicked current]

the bushes are speaking in cheeki breeki.
(did renegades scream that quote?)

[pseudo rivet]

Avoid getting shot

Git gud

[hushed aurora]

L2P

[tired anvil]

Psure they did, yea

[pseudo rivet]

Renegades have all the Bandit voices

[tired anvil]

Except the special one when you clear the fishing hamlet

[native ibex]

Hey guys

[tired anvil]

Hello

[native ibex]

I was thinking we needed more burner anomalies for S2

[pseudo rivet]

'Sup

[wicked current]

hey hey

[native ibex]

Maybe 3 for every 10 feet

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

I was thinking you still need to play at least one of the vanilla games

[pseudo rivet]

[native ibex]

Never

[pseudo rivet]

Git gud

[native ibex]

I'm even bored of Anomaly now

[pseudo rivet]

Vanilla moment

[wary cove]

time to play the trilogy

[tired anvil]

Yea well it's arguably worse than the games so

Not even arguably tbh

[pseudo rivet]

The reality of freeplay mods

[hushed aurora]

You have to

[wary cove]

fact

[hushed aurora]

You have no choice

[leaden hamlet]

Wasp swapping factions like he does clothes.
How's it going dood?

[native ibex]

"Play vanilla", the serpent whispered to Eve

[hushed aurora]

It's actually the opposite

[tired anvil]

https://gfycat.com/faithfullightdairycow

Best thing to come out of Anomaly

[wicked current]

doing alright, felt like blue today.

[pseudo rivet]

It's actually the oppposite

[hushed aurora]

Play "Mods" is what the serpent said

[tired anvil]

It fits you good

[pseudo rivet]

We're telling you to not play Anomaly

[native ibex]

I light play vanilla with some weapon mods

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

[hushed aurora]

The thing about weapon mods, they don't fit and they turn out boring

At some point

Maybe it's just me but vanilla weapons have more charm to them

[wary cove]

imagine not embracing PMm true power

[native ibex]

Enemies take a mag in normal

And the slides and bolts move slower than the firing rate

[wicked current]

for me by now playing the vanilla games is to play a classic game, because of how technically different from todays standards.

[hushed aurora]

No, not really

[wicked current]

[hushed aurora]

In SoC one headshot is enough to kill most people

[tired anvil]

I'll replay the trilogy vanilla before touching S2

[soft ice]

In SoC one headshot is enough to kill most people
@hushed aurora i think it should always be like this

[tired anvil]

Well, it is

[hushed aurora]

It is

[wicked current]

git gud

[tired anvil]

Hits different when Wasp says that ngl

[wary cove]

until 2050

[soft ice]

I’ve played games where it isn’t

[pseudo rivet]

The only difference is with guys with a Skat, Bulat, PSZ-9d or an Exoskeleton

[hushed aurora]

Ah, i see

[soft ice]

Like i definitely think a lot of multiplayer games turn everyone into bullet sponges

[pseudo rivet]

They'll take a couple more shots to the head due to their protection

[tired anvil]

No 😭 , they denounced my theory and said it'll come out before 2050

[soft ice]

yeah

[tired anvil]

More so, they said 202_

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

Real shame

[wicked current]

[leaden hamlet]

Nah that second 2 is clear upside down. 😔

[wicked current]

just play on an easier difficulty

it doesn't hurt

[leaden hamlet]

Dah heck, could've gone for a 20226 joke 😁

[tired anvil]

Playing on Master is pretty easy tbh

[tired anvil]

Or turning the 0 and counting it as a bad infinity sign

[hushed aurora]

Master is regular imo

Feels like normal difficulty,

[wicked current]

dunno. the most times i've replayed the stalker games is three, with soc.

[leaden hamlet]

It may be to you, it may be to me, and a whole slew of other people, but it really isn't the case for everyone.

[tired anvil]

I'm well aware of that

But I'm also surprised

[wicked current]

having a better time on veteran or stalker difi.

[tired anvil]

Like I'm generally not that good at FPS type of games, but there's people that struggle on novice then mention how they are at least decent on other games, so idk

[wicked current]

well it's purely opinion

[tired anvil]

Well, and skill in that matter if it's genuinely hard for some

[wicked current]

depends on the people as you say.

[finite dragon]

gajunas, my beloved

[leaden hamlet]

Opinion, skill, all that, there are multiple factors, but in all honesty it doesn't matter. It shouldn't matter - You don't miss out on anything by playing at a lower difficulty.

[tired anvil]

🤨

[tired anvil]

Actually you do

[leaden hamlet]

Actually you dang well don't!

[tired anvil]

You don't

And I can say what

You miss out on Olympic God tier grenade throwing distance and aim if you play on the lower difficulties

[hushed aurora]

Olympic God tier grenade throwing is probably the best thing i've read so far today

[wicked current]

bandit toll-gate moment

[wary cove]

also AI not being braindead might change the experience for many new users I guess?
Personally I had struggle with SoC first gameplay after being used to RE4 slow ai

[leaden hamlet]

In the case of Clear Sky, missing the "Olympic God tier" grenade-throws by the enemies would be preferable. 🙃

[tired anvil]

Adds to the experience

And fun

[wicked current]

does the difficulty affect the AI?

[tired anvil]

Yes

[leaden hamlet]

And, again, that's subjective, and brings us back to the point at hand - Where I still say the difficulty you play at doesn't matter.

[hushed aurora]

You had that ready to send didn't you

[wicked current]

not what i meant

ehhh

[tired anvil]

Subjective, but you miss out on it

They don't act any other type of different, Wasp

Walking around/sitting/tactics stay the same

[wicked current]

let's see..
i meant if the difficulty-

[quick dune]

all you need to know is that master is the best

[tired anvil]

It's pinned

[wicked current]

yeah exactly that.

stalker human AI is scary bro

[leaden hamlet]

If you aren't accustomed to playing games such as STALKER, or shooters in general, you'll honestly get the same experience at lower difficulties that you & I would at harder ones.

[tired anvil]

My first experience would beg to differ ngl

[tired anvil]

Oblivion Lost AI though...

[wicked current]

i dunno about that one

legit, i don't know.

[tired anvil]

AI able to beat the game before you if you take too long

[hushed aurora]

^

[wicked current]

ah yeah.

[hushed aurora]

Basically

It was a pretty neat concept

[wicked current]

would be cool.

[tired anvil]

And it did exist actually

[wicked current]

more games need to do cool things.

[tired anvil]

Some recent source code leaks showed that it was developed for real and isn't just a myth

[quick dune]

so an ai can ||meet doc and open the c-con door, stop its plans, etc?||

[tired anvil]

Something like that, yea

Maybe not the Doc part, but ±

[wicked current]

no, the story was different back then

[tired anvil]

It's hard to get complete details due to it being scrapped and being basically over 15 years ago

[quick dune]

so it would know where ||the decoder was stashed||

[wicked current]

theory: oblivion lost was an intelligence project.

non-artificial.

[tired anvil]

Ukrainian Special Services paid GSC to make an AI capable enough of understanding human behaviour

[wicked current]

yes!

no wonder they had to scrap it.

[tired anvil]

We just weren't ready for it

[verbal hemlock]

Lmao

[native ibex]

Must be a whole different game

[sharp spear]

ukranian skynet

[native ibex]

That's why everyone speaks Russian

Anti-Russia training measure

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

[native ibex]

Why is everyone hating on Ukraine these days

Russian propaganda?

[robust forge]

Just being polish

[finite dragon]

Hi guiz

[tired anvil]

Hey

[tired anvil]

Literally nobody is though

[finite dragon]

Someone have Mac?

[tired anvil]

@pseudo rivet does

[pseudo rivet]

Unfortunately

[finite dragon]

You have a Mac?

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, unfortunately

[finite dragon]

Bro

No

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

No

Windows gang supreme

[finite dragon]

The graphics is so good

hating Ukraine? what are you talking about stalker

You have installed micr on Mac right?

[pseudo rivet]

Doesn't really matter when a Mac is just a metal brick

[finite dragon]

You have Microsoft in Mac?

[pseudo rivet]

No

[finite dragon]

How you have stalker

Is not for Mac

[pseudo rivet]

Physical copies, Steam, GOG

[finite dragon]

Oooou

[pseudo rivet]

I play them on Windows

[finite dragon]

Then you have micrsf in?

[tired anvil]

He plays them on Windows like a normal person

[pseudo rivet]

No, just a Windows PC

[finite dragon]

You have Mac or not

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

Ahahhhahaha

[pseudo rivet]

Agreed

[finite dragon]

Ok ok ok

Image yourself stalker x minecraft

[tired anvil]

It exists

[pseudo rivet]

STALCRAFT

[finite dragon]

Hahahahahahaha

[toxic coral]

The feeling when you finish CoP with the best ending after reloading a million times because Sokolov gets slotted every time

[wary cove]

[toxic coral]

Pretty funny how Kovalsky tells you to protect strelok and that they will take care of themselves but if you give strelok the notes the ones who need babysitting is the military

[finite dragon]

Well you had to protect strelok because you are the main protagonist? xddddddd

[toxic coral]

well yes but if you give him the notes he practically becomes invincible

[finite dragon]

which notes? i don't remember

Guiz pls

Hahwhwahahah

[toxic coral]

the three stashes at Jupiter?

each containing a note?

[finite dragon]

oh

i think i sell them at yanov

wait you can't sell it

[toxic coral]

you can sell the notes to owl but if you keep them you can give them to strelok and he gets a boost

[tired anvil]

You lose him in the underground often?

[toxic coral]

he becomes more aggressive and a massive health bonus

[toxic coral]

no, underground is fine, evac

[tired anvil]

Ah

[toxic coral]

at the end

[leaden hamlet]

Kovalsky bought the farm on every single playthrough of COP I ever did. Up until a few years ago, I honest-to-god thought his death was scripted. 😆

[toxic coral]

yeah, in this playthrough i found out you can actually save Tarasov and his squad and actually managed to save all of them, except the sniper of course

and i decided to not leave in the helicopters and actually found out that Yar moves to the laundromat

so that's pretty cool

[native ibex]

Anomaly 2 when

[finite dragon]

What is the best game for you to play without making history

Guiz?

[native ibex]

What does that mean

[wicked current]

sorry, making history?

[finite dragon]

Gordon freeman join the ecologist

Adrian shepard join duty

Dr coomer and kleiner join the ecologist too

Barney join the mercs

Gman is rock

[native ibex]

Any wish is met with
"That would be a considerably large nudge"

[finite dragon]

Ok

[native ibex]

You didn't even need to reply if that's all you got

That was so bare it actually took away from my mood

Like how a dry cracker dries ones mouth

[wicked current]

[hushed aurora]

DeSync emote, nice

[native ibex]

Only mercs have time for being bros

[wicked current]

The chad self-employed mercs, vs the virgin 9-5 ecos

[finite dragon]

Freedom is in our eyes,and we are coming
Anarchist and any bandits will be uppended
Duty oh flame of anger
Duty struggles with the zone
Oh Our brave stalkers, voronin will lead us
Enough surrender zone nation

Dutyers will be singing that song

[finite dragon]

Yes

[finite dragon]

Свобода в наших глазах, и мы идем
Анархист и любые бандиты будут перевернуты
Долг о пламени гнева
Долг борется с зоной
О, наши храбрые сталкеры, воронин нас поведет
Достаточно нация зоны капитуляции

There

[finite dragon]

Свобода в наших очах, і ми йдемо
Анархіст та будь-які бандити будуть підняті
Обов'язок о полум'я гніву
Чергова боротьба із зоною
О, наші хоробрі сталкери, нас поведе воронін
Досить зони капітуляції нації

Bruh

[native ibex]

Is that latin

(I know it isn't)

[finite dragon]

ew mercs

[native ibex]

What is the relationships of Mercs and Freedon

[pseudo rivet]

Shakily neutral

[hushed current]

I think it’s mainly neutral with some mercenary outfits allied to freedom like how hog is friends with kostyan and how they help each other there’s also Leshiy who was a mercenary working with hog who later joined freedom

[pseudo rivet]

That's just CS, tho

Shakily neutral

[hushed current]

The problem with factions like renegades bandits loners and mercenaries is there not one major group of people working together to achieve one goal there a bunch of sub groups with there own goals

[finite dragon]

New duty propaganda

[pseudo rivet]

Cool

Make a rap out of it

[finite dragon]

Bruh

[hushed aurora]

Kek

[hushed current]

For example looking at call of Pripyat all freedomers ecologists Military and dutyers work together and want the same goal to be achieved while mercenaries outfits under Hog Vulture Hook And scumbag Skull have different wants and desires similar Bandits gangs lead by Sultan Jack and Shishak aren’t working together and each do there own crimes independently

[finite dragon]

No

[pseudo rivet]

Then what's the point of writing rap lyrics?

[finite dragon]

Idk

[finite dragon]

Voronin told me to do it

Ah yes

I cant sleep

Cuz today its my end of semester test

And its 1.29AM here

1am here

[tired anvil]

Anomaly and CoC are standalone

Misery is bleh

[hushed aurora]

Don't play it with mods first time

[tired anvil]

Plus, the games all run on pretty much the same engine, so the compatibility is practically identical

[sharp spear]

misery still balanced than anomaly tho

[hushed aurora]

Good,

[hushed current]

Anyone here play lost alpha and if so is it any good?

[sharp spear]

i did but stopped playing it even early game

mainly proverb being annoying and stopping me from doing a quest

[native ibex]

You find anonaly too generous?

[sharp spear]

"too generous"

cats aimbot people in anomaly

while in misery they are just normal mutants

[native ibex]

Cause I tell you, I think I could buy a house for one magazine of 5.56 on the hardest economic diffculty

[sharp spear]

you havent seen the real economical issues in dead air

haha venezuelan inflation go brrr

[pseudo rivet]

Don't worry about that, get the others too and start with SoC. No need for mods

[tired anvil]

Inb4 BlueDrake or whatever the name was

[sharp spear]

yeah bluedrake but it was his vid for anomaly

[finite dragon]

yes, stalker have story?ù

[pseudo rivet]

All the STALKER games have a story, yes

[leaden hamlet]

Bliddy good story at that. 👍

[hushed current]

Agreed you can really get lost in the lore

[frail spire]

True, mostly due to how poorly it's spread around maps

Barring labs of course, those are always good

[solid dome]

Lemme do a TL';DR of the labs

Enters X-18 expecting boring corridors, empty rooms, and stupid AI
Leaves X-18 with mental disorder, back pain, sore throat and dehydration

Is this appropriate?

[quick dune]

should i attack the southern outpost in cs or not

[hazy helm]

thats the point of those factions

[solid dome]

Go guns blazin

[toxic coral]

Sure, do it but keep in mind if you stay there too long the military will start coming back

[quick dune]

will they still come back if i have the respawn fix

[remote crow]

Naming my new parakeet after a STALKER character, put ideas into the en offtopic!

[hushed current]

I don’t recommend it unless you want military gear early

[hushed current]

I know

[quick dune]

isn’t military gear mostly aks

is there anything interesting there or should i just leave it

[hushed current]

Yeah and sadly there’s nothing really interesting as soon as you kill one soldier another one shows up so it’s impossible to wipe it out and get a chance to explore it like in shadow of Chernobyl

[hushed aurora]

You get good ammo

And tons of stuff to sell

[sharp frost]

Mmyes Pat the radioactive frog

[hushed current]

Fun fact in shadow of Chernobyl there’s a chance to get beta armour at the check point it has a chance to spawn in the box’s in the attic becareful however as breaking those boxes might cause the loot to fall down onto the ground level

Oh before I forget jef if you join the bandits in the faction wars try to take out the main stalker base as fast as possible otherwise the war might end up in a stalemate

[soft ice]

When i was playing it, all the soldiers attacked rookie village for some reason so only one guy was left defending the checkpoint and i was able to get in really easily

[finite dragon]

I wonder if vanilla anomaly use the graphics as the og trilogy?

Or just fully new graphics

Ik the models for stuff is from the trilogy

[quick dune]

i already joined the stalkers and i killed alot of bandits

sultan is not proud of me

but is there any way to beat the game as a bandit

without using glitches of course

[hushed current]

Oh well I’d say pragmatically there the best faction to join

[quick dune]

easily the best faction in all of stalker

[hushed current]

Not my favourite but i love there life style and most members they would probably be the third faction I would consider joining

[crystal temple]

[finite dragon]

Hi

[native ibex]

Not much

[finite dragon]

So i have a morgan pda and Idk which faction should i give in yanov

[wary cove]

Depends on who you want to side with

[tired anvil]

Freedom

[finite dragon]

and where is magpie? i don't remember how i find him

[finite dragon]

Skadovsk

If you don’t want to side with anyone and keep a “balance” sell to him

Although freedom and duty are more economically viable

I gave It to Duty IMO

I gave the pda to freedumb and i think i should get any achievement but i don't see the message pop out

Because you get access to the hidden duty stash bunker In Yanov and can take anything

maybe a bug

Oh ok

[finite dragon]

Holy crap I just realized you didn’t say owl but you say Magpie

He’s in Yanov

[solar river]

If ur talking about the friend of freedom then you need to do more missions for them to get the achievement i think

[wary cove]

Morgan pda, tachenko pda, magpie identity & recruit strider group

[tired anvil]

[shut cobalt]

@misty osprey Heratic

[finite dragon]

[solid dome]

Nah doesnt work this way

It spawns once you go away

[toxic coral]

Yes but it depends on where the game considers you to be away

[finite dragon]

Hi guiz

[toxic coral]

Whats up stalker, thinking of placing an order?

[finite dragon]

Don't let the door hit you

i didn't hit the door but i keep hitting the wall

[toxic coral]

If you got beans, spill them. If not, go hiking.

[finite dragon]

Pizza whit salame

[quick dune]

someone should name themselves nimble and offer people guns

[toxic coral]

Okay, something reliable, good handling and taste.... Alright, it will cost 1000 roubles and i'll need 200 of that right now.

[finite dragon]

[toxic coral]

Uhh, is that some sort of new artifact? You see, i cant bribe the army with a piece of a rock. Importing food isn't the cheapest yes?
