[lavish turtle]

@finite dragon the masters in my game seem to just want to kill virtually everything that moves

[native ibex]

Conservative traditional Duty waifu

[signal dove]

A whole damn faction of wives who followed their husbands into the zone and ended up getting entrapped in the glory of the zone

[wispy walrus]

I mean the average person would probably struggle with it physically even unless they have a military background and stayed inshape

[signal dove]

Abandoned their husbands and now live as amazonians and girlbosses

[finite dragon]

Pretty sure one of the official entries say that Masters tend to be chill but on guard and ready to pull the trigger anytime cuz of the psychopathy

[signal dove]

Bandits but like the Gerudo

[south narwhal]

you watched too much marvel

[native ibex]

Girlbosses do not exist

[lavish turtle]

@wispy walrus pretty sure average person would have a nervous breakdown a week in

[signal dove]

I don't even like Marvel

[finite dragon]

Yea

[signal dove]

I just like GotG

[lavish turtle]

@finite dragon idk what triggered the guy in my playthrough, i posted a video. he is going POSTAL on freedom right now, i'm in the base as i type this, and i hear him getting closer lmao

[finite dragon]

Eh

[signal dove]

Start running @lavish turtle

[finite dragon]

Be scared as old man Scar starts to invade

[lavish turtle]

surely hes gonna die soon

[native ibex]

BOTW 2 looks cool.
Would like to be able to fly by the end of it.
Flying adds a lot to exploration

[wispy walrus]

Old man, isn't he already old

[finite dragon]

Ye

[lavish turtle]

like do npcs have infinite ammo?

[pseudo yoke]

Yeah

[signal dove]

I just want Revali back man

[finite dragon]

finally getting a group of Masters as companions and you feel like a boss

[lavish turtle]

how can you even lose

these guys seem to just not die

[signal dove]

Imagine being a master and some rookie runs up on you and guns you down because he saw you had a funny helmet

[finite dragon]

then again you have a group of slightly mentally deranged people with heavy weapons and specialized equipment

[signal dove]

Can't relate, I pulled the trigger

[native ibex]

We do not have the AI for effective teammates in video games.
Might get there soon, though.
Problem is that effective teammates do all of the work for you.

[lavish turtle]

its funny cus that guy has no heavy armor

yet the exoskeelton dude i seen

I 1 shot him

[signal dove]

Pog

[pseudo yoke]

You seen him?

[finite dragon]

Nice increasing the bullet faktor man

[lavish turtle]

i didnt touch any of the settings besides the ones that warfare preset does

[finite dragon]

Had some Masters with me in Exos

Gave one a fresh PKM

[wispy walrus]

its always funny doing my 1st freedom base pistol wipe in anomaly each run and all the traders/techs/leaders running at me full speed with no guns or the ability to

[finite dragon]

He went ballistic on the patrolling Heli

yay free 10k

then he proceeded to kill an entire checkpoint of Spetsnaz and rammed the butt down a sniper's throat

[native ibex]

They usually just die when I bring people along.

[finite dragon]

Teammates can piss off

Masters and Legend Teammates tend to be Juggernauts so yay

2 times they killed me with a shotgun by accident

[native ibex]

Idk if we're talking about vanilla or what

[lavish turtle]

you guys use any shaders?

[native ibex]

Yeah

Aggressor, I think is called

[finite dragon]

Yee

[wispy walrus]

I always do it on accident because the nearby missions just bring the whole base on me

[native ibex]

I do not like to raid bases. How can I use their traders later if I decide to join up with them another time?

[wispy walrus]

why would i join freedom

[finite dragon]

Especially Mercs

[native ibex]

Mercs bring the good stuff

[finite dragon]

Amen

[finite dragon]

I do

Especially the enemy ones

[wispy walrus]

I'm playing duty for the record lol

[polar zealot]

Does anyone have a good stalker storyline recap

[native ibex]

Basically

John Marston dies

[wispy walrus]

alien rock do the thing

[south narwhal]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

[polar zealot]

I only know that chernobyl power plant went boom

[finite dragon]

big circle with spoopy stuff and ethereal butt crack releases a super fart

[polar zealot]

THANKS👍

[native ibex]

It's all centered around a balding scientist who causes trouble

[wispy walrus]

yeah, just read the wiki, maybe the Russian one specifically if you want extra stuff the eng one usually doesn't have.

[finite dragon]

blue bois become white bois
Mindbreak ensues

balding man gets job to kill balding man

ptsd comes back

[lavish turtle]

i hope stalker 2 is moddable

[polar zealot]

Im surprised this community isnt toxic

[finite dragon]

kills people in jars

yay the giant buttcrack now has loose bowel movement

now it releases daily superfarts

[quick dune]

pretty much every game is moddable

[south narwhal]

it is, have you ever go without a proper suit into the zone

[lavish turtle]

@quick dune to a certain degree

[finite dragon]

get a specsuit

I mean for one thing

Mention the possibility of female stalkers and you'd have a bit of an argument there

then while the debate is ongoing some guy just comes in screaming while the trolls ensue

oh yeh and those who compare Fallout or Metro to the franchise

I like all three. Metro's book series was amazing

[native ibex]

Says who

[finite dragon]

Exodus just makes me go meh

Fallout 1,2 and NV were great RPGs. Quality writing and world

3 was okay but super green

[native ibex]

That's great and all

But

VTMB

[finite dragon]

The Masquerade?

[polar zealot]

Also Exodus has amazing gameplay and exploration I loved it

[south narwhal]

this is official server yknw

[tired anvil]

No swearing btw

[polar zealot]

Oh

Poop

[native ibex]

Da

[finite dragon]

Exodus just makes me meh on the story

Openworld could use some better structuring

Aside from that it is quality

[polar zealot]

I agree 2033 and last light had better story

But the gameplay

Love it

Especially gun mods

[finite dragon]

Can't argue

[polar zealot]

I cant decide wether exodus or last light is better

Big fan of both

[finite dragon]

Last Light for story and atmosphere

Exodus for exploration and openworld

[polar zealot]

Agree

[finite dragon]

Dont trash or attack stuff

just point out their good and bad points and explain

[polar zealot]

This is how real men argue

[pseudo yoke]

Exodus's open world is linear

[polar zealot]

Thats why I love it

[finite dragon]

You'd be surprised how many debates online devolve into flaming because of annoying gits

[pseudo yoke]

So hold on

You love the open world for not being an open world?

How does that make sense

[polar zealot]

Thats the internet lol

[polar zealot]

No let me explain

I was little sections of open world

Like levels

[finite dragon]

Just think of it like a sequential open world in phases

[pseudo yoke]

Yeah, no

That's a cope

[polar zealot]

That was awesome and fit the game

What does cope mean

[pseudo yoke]

Exodus has like two good levels, Volga and Novosibirsk

[finite dragon]

urgh Volga....

[wispy walrus]

I remember how at e3 volga was the forest map and it had a whole other river side lol

[pseudo yoke]

I gotta say the absolute worst thing about the entire metro series

is how often "Hold E" comes up

[polar zealot]

Anyway I might replay exodus tbh

[native ibex]

"Real men" No need to think this way. Why be a real man, when you can be the real you

[finite dragon]

True

It's an annoyance

[polar zealot]

Dont understand

[finite dragon]

but I still enjoy it

[wispy walrus]

exodus reeks of cut and rushed, there's even stuff suggesting they originally intended to have the characters from the previous game, but cut them if I remember right.

[polar zealot]

For me the only thing that seemed rushed to me some of the cutscenes

[finite dragon]

To be fair, lots of content in the STALKER series was cut too

[red cipher]

its kinda of topic but does anyone here know what is the upgrade path of an exoskeleton in clear sky cos i cant get one upgrade and i dont know why do i need a bluprint or something

[finite dragon]

Get more money, exo upgrades cost a lot

[red cipher]

i got 60000

cant be that expencive

[wispy walrus]

I think what happened with exodus is they had a plan, it took too long so they stitched together the finished assets and content they had.

[finite dragon]

hover over the requirements?

If you need Data, just buy stash locations and look for usbs and hard drives

Or just go to the Dutier mechanic

I killed the bandit base, that means i cant get the best armor upgrade in this playthrough?

[wispy walrus]

i think the exo upgrades are a freedom faction war win item aren't they, its been awhile.

[finite dragon]

Only SEVA upgrades

[wispy walrus]

think bandit does seva upgrades

[finite dragon]

Duty for HMGs and Exos

Freedom for Sniper Rifles

[wispy walrus]

i find it funny loner awards a seva on win, but the upgrades are bandit faction

[finite dragon]

Loner in Agroprom for pistols and the other thing I forgot

[red cipher]

it says other upgrades are required

but i got the first one

[finite dragon]

Clear Sky for SMGs? Dunno I just remember the AKs-74u

[polar zealot]

So you dont want to be a man?

[pseudo yoke]

Why would he want to be a man in the eyes of discord users

[finite dragon]

Hmm... 2-3 upgrades eliminate their other counterpart

Dunno what happened there

[red cipher]

i know but this one shouldnt

wait i take a sreenshot

[finite dragon]

bugs/10

[finite dragon]

standard courtesy?

Nothing wrong with being civil

[pseudo yoke]

Yikes

[lavish turtle]

actually arent duty always allied with military during warfare, so technically they should have an okay time fighting monolith

[finite dragon]

I just remember farming Military gear in the Cordon with an SVD loaded with JSPs

Then dragging back 800 kg worth of gear for enough money for the rest of the game

[lavish turtle]

and here i am

pinned down by duty

picking up each weapon, getting three shots off before the jam

and off to the next gun

[finite dragon]

I have no idea where the military gets so much manpower

Because they spawn nonstop in the Southern Checkpoint

[wispy walrus]

one could argue the military has Russian support or something lorewise given their tech, firearms, etc

[lavish turtle]

well they have spetznaz

which i guess just means special forces

[wispy walrus]

yes every eastern Slavic country does tho

[finite dragon]

Pretty sure i farmed at least 300 men for their gear at this point

[pseudo yoke]

@finite dragon it could possibly be that the Military in a country of a few million has more than a thousand guys

Dont you think?

[red cipher]

i posted the picture

[finite dragon]

The corpses have yet to despawn

[lavish turtle]

tbh I think the entire world would funnel cash into ukraine to keep that hell hole in check

[finite dragon]

I like this idea

[lavish turtle]

press conference with nato

Ukraine: So yeah demons exist now btw

NATO: billions of dollars

[native ibex]

I don't want to be what others want me to be

[finite dragon]

uhhuh, though I think they would have sent better equipped people by now and maybe armour

[native ibex]

Just whatever I'm happy being

[wispy walrus]

its arguable the Russians back them for the tech gain and the fact the ukrainians could easily pin the labs on them if they ever wanted to go public, so they could have made a supply the border control forces kinda deal

the spetsnaz probably are actual military while the grunts are dunno state border service

[finite dragon]

but eiii, it's not programmed or planned for the Loners to take over the checkpoint so its just endless spawns

makes good farming though

[pseudo yoke]

Do you know how poor Ukraine?

is*

[lavish turtle]

is the zone even a threat to the world

I forget

[pseudo yoke]

Apparently

[wispy walrus]

maybe, maybe not

[pseudo yoke]

Its constantly expanding after the C-Con is gone

[wispy walrus]

So, like

is the wishgranter real ya'll think

[finite dragon]

imagine if the APCs in the checkpoint work

[pseudo yoke]

No

[wispy walrus]

have you ever tho, if its a magical rock that controls evolution and turns people to stone it could easily convince the c-con that its just a hologram and they have control

[finite dragon]

just entertain the idea for a bit

[pseudo yoke]

Iirc, in some of the early builds it was a meteorite

[wispy walrus]

ye, it was based on the obelisk from space odyssey wasn't it?

[lavish turtle]

@finite dragon kinda feels like that'd be

everyone on the planets first priority

[finite dragon]

what

[lavish turtle]

1 tank would nullify most every mutant and faction

[finite dragon]

oh true

Then again it'd just break down because of the anomalies

But it'd work in the checkpoints and borders

[wispy walrus]

I know some people who headcanon that ALL APCS AND TANKS INSTANTLY DIE EVEN IN COVER due to emissions, therefore they can't use tanks, which is kinda dumb.

[finite dragon]

annoyingly dumb to be fair

If a few inches of concrete can stop an emission

Why not a tank?

[lavish turtle]

ok guys being newish to anomaly (and a modpack) are guns unironically supposed to jam this often?

[wispy walrus]

anyone who has used cars in a soup mod knows why vehicles dont work

[finite dragon]

What condition is the gun in

[lavish turtle]

40 percent, as every gun that drops is in.

[finite dragon]

ptsd from driving into a graviconcentric anomaly

[lavish turtle]

And to repair is like 40k rubles

[wispy walrus]

my fav was driving on one of those "poster" in bar anomalies

the invisible gravity ones

[finite dragon]

Yeah it'll jam every 5-10 shots

[lavish turtle]

damn thats incredibly annoying

[finite dragon]

0% and it turns into a bolt action

[lavish turtle]

mostly because unless there is an unjam button, it makes the gun non functional for me

[finite dragon]

Keep it at 80%+

[lavish turtle]

I'd like to, but i've never had a gun above 50 lmao

[finite dragon]

Also you'rr lucky for them to drop at 40..

[finite dragon]

uhhh... disassemble

and stick with a TOZ

[lavish turtle]

also, scopes when gun on floor, pick up and they have no scope

is that just gfx

[finite dragon]

3d model issue

[lavish turtle]

figured

also whats TOZ?

[finite dragon]

Double barrel

whats a TOZ he says

every rookie's beloved

[lavish turtle]

true

this shotty I found is the onyl thing keeping me alive lmao

[finite dragon]

Butcher sells them for cheap

bless him

[lavish turtle]

I do have warfare squads set to 1 though

[finite dragon]

now watch as i kill this exo with the sheer blunt trauma of 30 buckshot shells

[lavish turtle]

Hmm I see, i can probably just pick guns up, strip them of parts that are sellable and drop the husk

[finite dragon]

4 quests and you can buy a decent gun

The Kiparis in 9x19 or 9x18 is a great bandit killer

[lavish turtle]

first quest

kill 20 monolith

:^]

[finite dragon]

patches or kill them?

[lavish turtle]

patches

[finite dragon]

Oh

[lavish turtle]

Oh my god

[finite dragon]

Camp around the warehouses

[lavish turtle]

now I know what my freedom playthrough was going so bad in rotosk

just spawned in as duty

endless duty boys

[finite dragon]

Rostok is fortified to the brim

Expect at least 20-40 of them

[lavish turtle]

im guessing you stick with 1 gun

like one or two guns you really like

[finite dragon]

More than 8 might be in Exos

[finite dragon]

3 actually

[lavish turtle]

i cant imagine upkeeping 8 guns

[finite dragon]

A Remington 700

[lavish turtle]

actually i need to see if duty are allowed to do all quests in anomaly

[finite dragon]

AK-12 I repaired via parts

and a Saiga-12s in full auto

[lavish turtle]

so part selling is a good idea if the gun is super low durability?

[finite dragon]

Yep

Tho if you want a specific gun

Look for the parts it'll need

When it drops

[lavish turtle]

screw it im playing duty

[finite dragon]

Buy 2 repair kits

Repair 2 parts it'll need to max

Then use standard lubricant and stuff to make it reach 100

[lavish turtle]

so keep pickin up aks

make a franken AK

[finite dragon]

uhhh no, find the parts of an AK you want

Find the broken AK you want

Use the other parts you got to repair it

Repair the parts you're going to use as replacement

Basically

Oh look this fancy AK12 needs a 5.45 barrel and a trigger set

Oh look this AK74 has those parts

Imma disassemble the AK74

[lavish turtle]

ah yeah

[finite dragon]

Repair the barrel and trigger

[lavish turtle]

i meant more so like lets say those parts were bad on mine, but good on this ak, strip and replace ect

[finite dragon]

then using repair kits, swap it in

Then toss it into a barrel of gun oil and lube

[finite dragon]

You got it

[lavish turtle]

prob gonna end up getting steam rolled by monolith

[finite dragon]

Though using gun oils every 30 minutes needs to be a habit

[lavish turtle]

Hopefully you can come back from that, but I doubt it

[finite dragon]

But it drops everywhere yay

[lavish turtle]

how do you use them?

[finite dragon]

i hev to keep my gun in 95+ all the time

Uhh

First of all there are 3 things you need to know

Some tapes and oils repair equipment with at least _% condition

and can be used with random junk you find to increase the repair

others can only be used on certain types

and lastly, part and equipment repairs are different

Yeah it's complicated

But beats paying the mechanic 4k if I can just toss it into the 20 pieces of glue tubes I have

[robust forge]

I am afraid of asking what mod you're playing

Because I know that it will result in mental anguish

[finite dragon]

Anomaly, the complicated PoS it is

[robust forge]

I knew it

[finite dragon]

You play it for more than 5 hours and you get used to it

[solid prism]

[finite dragon]

Then again I hate it

[robust forge]

Just, one small question for the records

[finite dragon]

and love it

and hate it

[solid prism]

We're too late

[robust forge]

@finite dragon have you played vanilla trilogy beforehand?

Please say yes

[finite dragon]

Ofc

[wispy walrus]

im late but

[robust forge]

Thank god

[finite dragon]

SHoC with Monolith Gauss Snipers everywhere

[wispy walrus]

if you're using anomaly and dislike jams, try blindside and AWR anims, they have dedicated unjam anims that're quicker as they just pull the bolts instead.

[finite dragon]

Clear Sky with that crappy gauntlet ending and the bug where Strelok runs in the air in the same space for a free kill

And CoP hell for the good ending in Misery

Its harder to get the good endings in CoP with Arsenal Overhaul cuz of the buffed up damage

So....

Exo time

[thorn gulch]

also the recoil of some guns being bad but its still a good game tho

[finite dragon]

Sky Reclamation Project and Arsenal Overhaul

Got softlocked in the Hospital cuz I quicksaved in front of a Monoboi with an AK 103

Cue me dying to 2 bullets in an Exo

Every

[wispy walrus]

I remember how when I was young i'd run the vanilla ARs in semi 24/7 because i didn't know what recoil control was, meanwhile I now eyeball anomalies in misery and nlc and can recoil control misery 7.62x51 like a laser

[finite dragon]

Time

I

load

Then I had to change the difficulty from Master to Rookie to survive the first burst

swapped back to Master after the Hospital grenade spam bs

oh yay chasing Strelok through portals

i hated it

Enjoyed the environment and map

Only to realize I can just fall down and survive

[robust forge]

All three games have really bad endings tbh

[finite dragon]

And walk over to the other building

And see Strelok running midair

And crouch and fire randomly

yay thats my ending i guess

[wispy walrus]

its almost like heavily scripted action scenes just don't work in xray

[finite dragon]

I have experience controlling the AK in CS so yeh Misery's recoil wasnt something new

[wispy walrus]

[finite dragon]

And Artefact Hunting is really easy for me if you give me 6 bolts, enough vodka and a decent detector

Because at first I was intimidated by the anomaly spot in the Red Forest

Then I realized I could just toe around it

[wispy walrus]

eyeballing > using bolts

[finite dragon]

say that to burners

also fruit punch/goo piles

[wispy walrus]

I can eyeball both

[finite dragon]

Some with stean rising are safe to walk on

Others just...

hahhhhhh

[wispy walrus]

i've been doing it for 8 years

[finite dragon]

Woah a Vet

Only been doing it for 3 years

[wispy walrus]

tho I struggled a bit with some NLC anomalies.

[finite dragon]

shush

i still have PTSD from Doppelganger and Dark Road

[wispy walrus]

NLC kinda is like that tho as I try to backtrack a lot, therefore I rush it and it has hard to see anomalies, moreso than misery forks if I remember right.

[finite dragon]

Ngl the Tarkov addicts trying to change the entire game to pseudoTarkov is annoying

Making the game more hardcore than it already is...

[wispy walrus]

NLC imo is hardcore stalker done right, but its hard to play machine translated

its not stupid hardcore survival game style hardcore, but more stalker centered hardcore imo

[finite dragon]

oh look a 5.45 brushed your left little finger? Its broken now and you dropped your 100% and it fell in a Fruit Punch say goodbye to 20 quests worth of upgradez

stop

I quitted Tarkov

[wispy walrus]

NLCs kinda unique, a lot of the trading is barter based and item trading

[finite dragon]

Because of the LABS

[wispy walrus]

or quest reward based

[finite dragon]

THE LAAAAAABBBS

[wispy walrus]

I like tarkov, but its not a good game.

[finite dragon]

Pretty? Yes

Satisfying? When you get it yes

But the rage

[wispy walrus]

it has nice features, just the rest not so much.

[finite dragon]

No

[wispy walrus]

its kinda a mash of directionless ideas, with bad balance

[finite dragon]

Im pretty new and i undrrstand using bolts etc but how do i get through an anomaly? theres an artefact inside and it seems ebery direction is covefed in an anomaly

Ntm I can only play it on my PC back home because my laptop starts to explode

[finite dragon]

Throw bolts

[wispy walrus]

throw them till they just fall flat with no particle effect

its a safe path

[finite dragon]

Mark the area where anomalies are

yes but i cant find that

Look fot a safe path

Edge at the sides

ive checked and it seems rberywhere is covered

[wispy walrus]

it can happen in cop, the artifacts roam and can roll under anomalies themselves.

[finite dragon]

Throw a bolt if your gut says something is wrong

[finite dragon]

Yeh you just need to have it materialize and then shoot it out

[wispy walrus]

if ur really dedicated chuck bolts at the artifact physical item and it might roll out lel

nades work too sometimes

[finite dragon]

A Goldfish once got blown into a tree branch in the Red Forest

I blew it out with a shotgun

And it landed in a pack of snorks

yay

[native ibex]

Usually the artifact just disappears after being launched by an anomaly

[finite dragon]

I already detected it

And followed it as it flew away

hah....

was nice to hold an MP5 and a double barrel with only one hand

[native ibex]

Huh

[finite dragon]

Blame Clear Sky

in summary

World great

Gunplay good

Ending segments very bad

[quick dune]

mp5?

since when did gsc get proper lincensing

[pseudo yoke]

They dont need it

[finite dragon]

🇲 🇵 5️⃣ 🇦 1️⃣

[quick dune]

viper 5

[finite dragon]

arsenal overhaul says hi

[quick dune]

what game are u playing

[finite dragon]

This was like 2 years ago

Clear Sky with the SRP and Arsenal Overhaul combo

[quick dune]

why would you use mods

[finite dragon]

because the base game stuttered everywhere?

and my frames dropped every 5 seconds?

[quick dune]

i more meant arsenal overhaul

[wispy walrus]

the only valid way to play cs is ogsm or old story

[quick dune]

the only valid way to play any stalker game is vanilla

[finite dragon]

I already finished all three in vanilla

[quick dune]

did u finish clear sky as a bandit

[finite dragon]

so stop with the reprimands

[finite dragon]

ahhhh the worst memelord route

[quick dune]

the best faction choice

[finite dragon]

[finite lark]

hey guys im loss, how to escape the last floor of the lab

the fire guys block me

halp

[quick dune]

specify

[pseudo yoke]

@finite lark Kill the pyrogeist

[quick dune]

what lab, who ate the fire guys

are*

[finite lark]

how to kill them

[quick dune]

shoot the particles

[pseudo yoke]

Shoot them

[quick dune]

in the air

[finite lark]

ok

[finite dragon]

Shoot glowing fire ghost thingy

Until you hear it moan in pain

and explode in tomato juice

[tired anvil]

Just don't shoot the one that already fired, shoot the one floating around

[quick dune]

ketchup

[lone leaf]

Use shotgun on ghost

They don't enjoyit

[finite dragon]

Yes give them their daily dose

[finite lark]

kk

i dont have shotgun i have grenade launhcer

[finite dragon]

perfect

[tired anvil]

Uh oh

[finite dragon]

Aim for glowy ghost

[quick dune]

their daily dose is sitting at agroprom or labs to collect dust

[finite lark]

time to mikael bay the game

[finite dragon]

Dont die from big boom

[finite dragon]

Shhh we have RPGs and the Military for that

[finite lark]

yea i stole it once

[finite dragon]

Gotta love semi auto shotguns

[finite lark]

i putted things in a crate in the bar, will it dissapear?

or it will stay

[finite dragon]

I can end fights in seconds with it

@finite lark it wont dissapear

Crates are for that

[finite lark]

okok

will ever the bar acces NVG for sale

[limpid ruin]

literally just want the physicals to release already

[finite lark]

yea

[limpid ruin]

although being out $340 is going to suck for a minute

[pseudo yoke]

I just want an option to buy it

[worthy lark]

everyone preordering meanwhile i'm out here waiting for gamepass on launch day

[pseudo yoke]

Good for you

Enjoy losing access :)

[worthy lark]

a month is plenty of time to test the game enough to decide if i wanna buy it or not

and as long as the save files are not cloud only I won't even lose progress

[tired anvil]

I'll cope and seethe if it's broken until the patches arrive

[worthy lark]

if it's broken it's just the optimal sdälger experience

i almost hope it's kinda broken on launch so we can have a new generation of vanilla gatekeeping neckbeards

[lavish turtle]

in anomaly, why would my guy never regen stamina again, even though fully healed, fully fed and hydrated

[worthy lark]

do you have any artifacts that lessen stamina regen and how much are you carrying?

[lavish turtle]

literally fresh spawn with no artifacts

[worthy lark]

gotta say no idea then

[wispy walrus]

there's a certain stage in carry weight between yellow and no icon that make you not regen stamina while walking

[lavish turtle]

think i found culprite

my radiation thing is blinking red

[worthy lark]

mans got no stamina because of growing new limbs

[lavish turtle]

good to know some bases are in iradiated areas where your allies can infinitely stand xd

[clever hazel]

they're simply built different

[worthy lark]

just drinking vodka 24/7 no problem comrade

[lavish turtle]

hm even with no rads its not regenning

[worthy lark]

x-ray engine propably falling to pieces

[worthy lark]

Start up a new save and see if it still isn't regening

Do you have your backpack etc equipped for the extra carry weight?

@lavish turtle

[lavish turtle]

yup

22kg of items im carrying

[worthy lark]

All i can really say is try a new save and restart the game, if it still doesn't work it's probably reinstall time

[lavish turtle]

wonder if its better to just start as a free stalker and join a faction later

[finite dragon]

I'm thinking of starting a hardcore Ecologist playthough for Anomaly

Imagine playing anomaly

Kot dissaproves

[quartz owl]

has GSC said anything about the combat in the trailer? they activated godmode to not die quickly, to not get the screen full of blood etc??? I want stalker, not call of duty, that was a very bad part of the trailer, but the game was awesome anyways. Any info regarding this?

[bold lion]

https://nintendosmash.com/the-developers-of-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-responds-to-fan-criticism-of-poor-ai/

Perhaps, that will answer your question.

[wispy walrus]

did stalker ever have good combat ai in the first place

[bold lion]

Enough to make the game enjoyable.

[clever hazel]

for its time

[pseudo yoke]

It still does

[clever hazel]

i saw a post on reddit that was like "lol npcs aiming into random corners" like no dude they aim where they heard you

it comes off as janky these days because it lacks some of the polish of modern games with like animations and more specific soundbites for that stuff but

it's still better than most games, enemies still try to flank you and sneak up on you and stuff

clear sky was best tho rip

[quartz owl]

it's not the ai

and yes it did for its time, and mods can make it better than todays far cry

i was saying god mode call of duty style combat, I hate it

[wispy walrus]

apparently I can't use certain words for bad, so let me retype this sec

The player has always had a ton of Hp, and the ai has always kinda just stood there in place or they either just congoline rush you

sure they might act fine othertimes but naturally they kinda act really dumb

[potent bluff]

In SoC they can flank you and stuff

So I think it's a good AI

But I agree sometime AI act kinda dumb

[wispy walrus]

a lot tend to forget, but in base game you're

REALLY tanky hpwise

[tired anvil]

A lot also say otherwise

[wispy walrus]

people are just so used to misery forks they think you die quick

but you can easily tank buckshot in cop, 5.45 in shoc, etc

[quartz owl]

thanks, just what i imagined

[clever hazel]

in cs you start bleeding to death if you get a rock in your boot it rules

vanilla shoc had some balance issues with that stuff though for sure

[wispy walrus]

cs will always be cs

[clever hazel]

it's very easy to become an unstoppable death machine

[quartz owl]

of course the trailer would be horrible in normal way because it would take 5 minutes of tactically taking 1v1s, healing, cover blood on screen, dying etc

[wispy walrus]

its the unique child

[quartz owl]

my favourite as well is clear sky

[clever hazel]

the trailer's also clearly being played with a gamepad

[wispy walrus]

man, i still dunno what a gamepad even is

[clever hazel]

so there's some amount of aim assist

[finite dragon]

Never played on gamepad...

[clever hazel]

it's the baby version for the baby conference, gsc knows why stalker sold well enough to not shovel that trash onto pc too

[quartz owl]

yes even in master its tanky

[clever hazel]

otherwise sergiy won't be able to afford another ferrari

[quartz owl]

my favourite too, but people dont like it because of thebugs. just install SRP

[wispy walrus]

every mod tries to not make you tanky, people just naturally think its the norm

[finite dragon]

Yeah..

[quartz owl]

just spam medkits

[wispy walrus]

FRANKLY

[quartz owl]

the lab part was really bad, too slow cuz of controller

[wispy walrus]

CAN'T BLAME people for not playing vanilla

[tired anvil]

You don't need any mods if you l2p

[finite dragon]

Man in every Arsenal Overhaul you just die to getting touched by 7.62x39 or 7.62 NATO

[tired anvil]

Yea I can

Vanilla is perfectly fine

[finite dragon]

Vanilla damage is perfectly fine

[wispy walrus]

it is, but im not gonna play it more than 3 times

[tired anvil]

If you mean it like that then yea sure

[quartz owl]

yes, they confirmed the skins for multiplayer etc are actually good items, not pink panties with helmets with wings (their words)

[tired anvil]

There's people who completely ignore it though

[wispy walrus]

my point is tons of people probably haven't done vanilla in like 7-8 years lol

[quartz owl]

i dont know how stalker is so unknown worldwide, it sold like crazy, millions and millions of dollars

[finite dragon]

It's ridiculously outdated in the graphics and animations department so stands to figure that people would mod it

World still is pretty

[quartz owl]

the games need mods

[wispy walrus]

least it looks better than fo4

[quartz owl]

I played vanilla first with vanilla+ mods (bug fixing)

[finite dragon]

ahem

[wispy walrus]

every time i play fo4 the lod makes me wanna barf

[clever hazel]

i think cop definitely needs mods to be really enjoyable

[finite dragon]

Fallout 4 beats STALKER Trilogy when it comes to character models and animations alright

But it's shallow everywhere else

[wispy walrus]

cough not till fo4

fnv has some PRETTY IFFY animations even compared to stalker

[finite dragon]

New Vegas is just meh on that department

[clever hazel]

yeah nv was always kind of just an ugly game

[finite dragon]

Writing good, graphics bad

[clever hazel]

even compared to fallout 3 honestly, the desert lod looked soooo bad

yellow soup hills in all directions

[wispy walrus]

it took fnv till 2020 to get diagonal walk anims

2 0 2 0

[finite dragon]

weird

[tame notch]

red rock canyon was decent tho ngl

[finite dragon]

Zion Valley was great

[tame notch]

Oh hell yea

[finite dragon]

prettty

Atmosphere and Worldwise STALKER has it in spades

[tame notch]

honestly the DLC's in general had good world design

[finite dragon]

Fallout tends to either have it good, barely there or what am i looking at

[clever hazel]

fo4 was such a bizarre game visually

[tame notch]

oof the atmosphere in STALKER cant be beat

straight up

[finite dragon]

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas had the best writing in the series

[clever hazel]

things up close could look great but like ten feet away all the buildings are just the lowest quality lod imaginable

[finite dragon]

Fallout 1 just radiated so much depression in the world

[tame notch]

Thing is I was the hugest fallout fanboy around the time fo4 was announced

[finite dragon]

2 was... oh god it was both tuned up and down at the same time

[tame notch]

preordered it and everything

[wispy walrus]

i never liked the fo4 art style, its been a fact since fo1 that pre war was a gothic metal looking architecture but MUH RETRO 50S THEME is all bethesda thinks sells to the ignorant masses

[finite dragon]

Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are just Brotherhood of Steel knob-sucking fan-fiction

[tame notch]

at first i thought it was fine but then after giving it a closer look

it was so damn underwhelming

[wispy walrus]

fo3 had perfect pre war architecture

[finite dragon]

I always wondered why the BoS looked like good guys all the time there

When in New Vegas they were hardheaded fanatics dying out while being assholes

[clever hazel]

bethesda loves the brotherhood for some reason

[wispy walrus]

fo76 did the bos good, they showed they weren't nice guys, but show they hoarding tech actually saved lives and giving it to untrained people got got them killed

[finite dragon]

And 2 having them just be an organized military with both realistic pros and cons

[tame notch]

honestly I'd rather have Dwayne the rock johnson wearing clogs stomp on my hand than finish the game with the minutemen

such a missed opportunity

especially with the introduction of Nuka World

and the raider factions and stuff

[finite dragon]

Imagine the Minutemen with STALKER Faction AI

[tame notch]

and EVEN THEN

there was no consequence to siding with the raiders

like preston gravey would sulk until you get rid of the raiders

[wispy walrus]

i'd pick fo76s getting a farming town killed by giving them m202s without training and them blowing themselves up on accident over MUH SYNTHS BAD as bos justification anyday, the 1st one atleast is relatable

[tame notch]

the option to

fight the minutemen wasnt there

[cold saffron]

Does anyone know if Stalker 2 will have a coop, i know it has a multiplayer due to their website mentioning multiplayer skins. Im new to the stalker series and would like 2 to be my first, I did play into the radius a vr clone of stalker

[finite dragon]

Because Bethesda doesn't understand the universe and with each game has progressively ruined the lore, world and game-play of Fallout. It used to be just a futuristic world but the futurism presented in sci fi novels and comics of the 1950s presented in a way that made sense. But now Fallout is OMG 1950S FUN TIME OMGALUL LOOK OUR CHARACTER IS ACTING LIKE DISCOUNT BATMAN OMGG!!!!11!!!! LOOK PRE WAR JET SOYBOYS LAP IT UP

[wispy walrus]

think they said no coop already

[finite dragon]

"clone"

[wispy walrus]

u wanna know why fo76 bos is well written

[tame notch]

pretty sure the multiplayer will be a deathmatch mode

[wispy walrus]

its cuz a new studio wrote it xd

[finite dragon]

Bethesda built fallout around lies and more lies

300 endings

[cold saffron]

Is it really no coop but a deathmatch

[cold saffron]

^

[clever hazel]

they haven't gone into mp details much afaik but it'll probably just be what it was in SHOC

[cold saffron]

can i get the source of it

[clever hazel]

deathmatch, capture the artifact etc.

[wispy walrus]

why is that shocking, every stalker game has had deathmatch mp

[tame notch]

[tired anvil]

They only said mp, they didn't say what type yet

[wispy walrus]

I was pretty sure someone asked in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive

[cold saffron]

I just want to explore with my friends, guess thats going to be a kill for us, il still play the game but like not oging to enjoy it that much without them

[tame notch]

deathmatch and capture the artifact seem like safe bets

[cold saffron]

I dont mind still gonna play it regardless

[clever hazel]

what if s2 mp is literally just survarium

[finite dragon]

Even though their presence in Fallout 76 makes no sense due to the fact that in every other game its stated that the BoS wasn't even founded at the time of Fallout 76 or the fact that the surface was livable at the time as Harold states in Fallout 1 that there was a Nuclear Winter at the time where you couldn't see the sun.

[tired anvil]

I'd say there is a decent chance to expect coop, but we have 10 months to find out

[wispy walrus]

yeah, fo76's prob is they set the year too early

[cold saffron]

zOh really so theirs some hope

[tired anvil]

Yea

[finite dragon]

This guy understands fallout lore more than bethesda

[tame notch]

Why follow previously established lore when you can just retcon it for no good reason

[wispy walrus]

I mean at the same time its stated like

15 knights died on the way there lol

[finite dragon]

Its not hard you need to play the games and have more the a room temperature IQ

yes lets just poop on the morals and lessons of the other games

[wispy walrus]

the whole plot is actually based on WHY THEY DIED

[cold saffron]

Thanks for awnsring my question, i got some hope

[finite dragon]

Bethesda just need to get rid of their writing team

[tame notch]

man the bethesda fallout games (3 and 4) are devoid of player choice

your choices

dont matter

even then

you're severely limited

oh you wanted to kill the BOS the minute you met them?

well too bad

[finite dragon]

Lonesome Road DLC: "War Never Changes, but men do through the roads they walk"
goes on to talk about how horrifying for mankind would be for more nukes to land in America

[wispy walrus]

the pro wastelander leader actually gave a bunch of settler laser weaps to fight raiders, they died and the raiders stole the weapons and killed aton of knights, the pro-traditionalist wants to bring them to the elder court over it, and that's why the paladin keeps trying to stop or make them go independent lel

[tame notch]

the plot doesnt move without them

its stupid

[wispy walrus]

its actually hilarious

[finite dragon]

FO76: haha nukes go brrrr

[wispy walrus]

so she doesnt get in trouble for messing up

loooooool

[finite dragon]

fo 3: Aliens caused it all

Because why not

[finite dragon]

That was weird wtf

[jovial elbow]

Hey yall

[finite dragon]

Lemme forget Zeta

The Pitt was great

[wispy walrus]

its absolutely top tier hilarity, that the "good" help the people side actually got a ton of people killed and is trying to dodge accountability by trying to split the chapter off

[finite dragon]

Wtf was Zeta

Ive seen fanfics eith better writing than recent bethesda games

@wispy walrus TBH I never played more then 15 minutes of Fallout 76 because of performance and game-play. I really, really hated Fallout 4's game-play loop and I hated even more Fallout 4's Survival Difficulty because its what I call "Daily Chores Survival". So tbh I have no clue about Fallout 76's plot just the bare basics I learned though arguments and videos.

[wispy walrus]

oh yeah, it'd be way better as an sp game, its got a nice plot actually, just its mp

[hushed current]

The Pitt was ok the only thing about it I really liked was the moral choice of who should lead the Pitt

[wispy walrus]

way better than fo4

[finite dragon]

Amen

Yeah I was getting disconnects constantly dropping from 60-15FPS depending on the direction I looked

All of NVs DLCs made sense (even the one with the brains) while 3 just had Zeta pop out of nowhere

[south narwhal]

NV one of best games i ever played

[finite dragon]

like wuuuut

[finite dragon]

eat the baby

[wispy walrus]

everyone still sides with the "good" side because the traditionalist who wants justice for the people they got killed acts like your classic military hardman, and HE'S MEAN

muh feelings

[finite dragon]

People are sort of afraid to pick what is practical and go for the ideal

[finite dragon]

All of New Vegas DLC's where written by series veterans and had a giant book of stuff not to contradict when they where writing it. Also it was all based off of a canceled Fallout game

[hushed current]

I still remember that rumour good times

[wispy walrus]

they have an entire quest line about farmers buying stolen BoS tech and blowing up 5 people trying to use it untrained

[south narwhal]

who are you talking about

[hushed current]

Witch fallout are you referring to?

[finite dragon]

But then again the Wild Card ending is completely debatable from techno heaven with Enclave Batman and super cyborg leader to hellscape

[wispy walrus]

fo76 bos

the quest line is fo76 IS ODDLY pro traditional bos

[finite dragon]

There's a mod you can download that does exactly that, you get maxed out Evil Karma and all of the Pitt comes to kill you

[south narwhal]

oh i havent played

[wispy walrus]

like to a high extreme

[finite dragon]

And now starfield xbox exclusive

[hushed current]

Oh that’s why I haven’t heard of it

[wispy walrus]

but people overlook it because most fallout playing is extreme casual now

[hushed current]

Thanks for answering

[finite dragon]

Auld Lang Syne baby

I can't wait for all of Starfields ships to be just elaborate hats for our characters.

[hushed current]

How long until the chance to pre order S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 runs out?

[finite dragon]

What?

[finite dragon]

Probably a month before it releases

Safe guess in 2022

If you don't know what I am talking about. Fallout 3's tram for the Broken Steel DLC is a hat that a NPC puts on and then runs down a track.

[wispy walrus]

anyway, reason why fo76 BoS is good, pro traditional bos and has actual logic shown to why fo3 bos doesn't work unlike fo4 is because a new studio wrote it lel

the main studio can't write to save their lives

[hushed current]

Yeah I saw videos of that

[finite dragon]

Isnt Bethesda infamous for sucking up good companies then destroying them once they're done like EA?

Maybe Microsoft will give us new vegas 2?

[wispy walrus]

the publisher yes, the studio, no

[finite dragon]

The Publisher that used to be ZeniMax is yes.

[jovial elbow]

Hey everyone. I'm just getting into the stalker games

[hushed current]

I personally didn’t like how the fallout 4 brotherhood was written but I’m glad you find value in them

[finite dragon]

Start with the trilogy

[clever hazel]

not really? id made a couple dooms that were alright and arkane is still arkane

[wispy walrus]

ok, everyone lets halt the fallout lore and help the new guy lel

[finite dragon]

Good they are very fun

[hushed current]

Glad to have you here hope your having fun

[finite dragon]

mind you id get cautious about the IPs they buy

[jovial elbow]

I got the bundle on steam, Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat

[finite dragon]

Play it in that order then

Dont play clear sky first

With ZRP, SRP and (forgot the other one)

[jovial elbow]

Shadow, then clear, the call?

[hushed current]

That’s great the order of release for the games are shadow of Chernobyl clear sky and lastly call of Pripyat

[hushed current]

Correct

[finite dragon]

Play it like ARMA or pubg and you will be fine

Rush and ur dead

[quartz owl]

exactly, tactical shooting and gameplay

[finite dragon]

Timeline wise its Clear Sky, Shadow of Chernobyl and them Call of Pripyat

Vanilla with community patches for first experience is recommended for all 3

[jovial elbow]

Barely played arma, never played pubg lol

[quartz owl]

play it life IRL

[finite dragon]

Then go and mod it to whatever you want

Just not Complete

[quartz owl]

play it like your life is real and only 1 in the game

[finite dragon]

Anything but Complete

^^^

[clever hazel]

do people even still recommend complete lol

[finite dragon]

Yes

[clever hazel]

ew

[finite dragon]

y e s

I see it in some threads all the time

[clever hazel]

i saw someone recommend misery once for a first playthrough of cop and i wanted to drink myself to death

[wispy walrus]

how'd complete even end up as the 2013 gold standard anyway

[jovial elbow]

What's complete?

[hushed current]

Dose complete actually fix the glitches?

[finite dragon]

Heh, nope

It adds more and slightly changes tbe gameplay

and makes it too easy

[hushed current]

A shadow of Chernobyl mod

[finite dragon]

repair kits everywhere

[wispy walrus]

didn't it actually make thehp even tankier than it was

[finite dragon]

There's one for all 3

[hushed current]

Oh

[clever hazel]

complete is baby mode

[jovial elbow]

Voice channels are on push to talk, bruh

[wispy walrus]

wasn't uhhh

redux better, I always forget

[finite dragon]

I remember a video of Pewdiepie playing Misery as a first and repeatedly facepalming

[clever hazel]

oh god

[finite dragon]

I don't mine the repair kits I just hat e the reduced aggro range, increased accuracy, less incoming damage and extra carry weight

[hushed current]

I like Felix but that video confused me

[finite dragon]

yes lets go to the bloodsucker den with only a leather jacket and an VZ61 all will be fine

wtf is an anomaly

[wispy walrus]

not naming anynames, but he didn't spend 2 hours hunting one chimera atleast

[finite dragon]

look radiation

[wispy walrus]

l i v e

[south narwhal]

i played once some mod for CS that made enemies taking irrational amount of ammo, even in the head, annoying

[hushed current]

The only mod I played for clear sky was faction wars and I highly recommend it

[finite dragon]

There's one Youtuber that quitted SHoC and has been dissing it all the time because of Agroprom Underground

[wispy walrus]

ogsm is my favorite cs mod

[finite dragon]

Guy's a total bore and an asshole to watch

[clever hazel]

faction wars makes cs a completely different game in really cool ways

[finite dragon]

Uhhh Forsen

he sucks

[hushed current]

Can’t be as bad as darksydephils short time playing shadow of Chernobyl

[finite dragon]

IMAGINE GETTING FILTER BY AGROPROM

AND NOT BY THE BRAINSCORCHER

[finite dragon]

Watch one of Forsen's videos and you'll get why I say he's a boring ass

[wispy walrus]

I just say agroprom underground on nlc is complete suffering, same with most misery forks, if the army is in there is just a complete quicksave spanfest

[clever hazel]

imagine not even making it to a lab before you quit

[south narwhal]

is it working with OGSM?

[wispy walrus]

throw sucks in at the same time and ur in for a bad time

[clever hazel]

there might be patches for it i'm not sure

[hushed current]

Ogsm?

[wispy walrus]

ogsm has added story stuff

[hushed current]

Oh

[wispy walrus]

old story mod is its newer ver i believe

it has stcs as well

[finite dragon]

I want a reanimation and retexture of the weapons for all 3 games without the cranked up damage

[clever hazel]

faction warfare is essentially anomeme's warfare mode but like properly expanded into a really cool fleshed out strategy/tactics thing and not a chaotic tire fire

[finite dragon]

Agroprom isn't even remomtely hard compared to to the Brainscorcher where I swear to god 90000 Monolith get aggro'd by a single shot froma AS Val and start long arming grenades like they are trying to break the world record

[south narwhal]

i probably played OGSM if i remember correctly, but it was still not possible to get a bandit base

[finite dragon]

Dying from 2 rounds to 7.62x39 makes me go wtf

[wispy walrus]

gunslinger is that, gunslinger quite literally is just vanilla cop

[finite dragon]

While

In

An

Exo

[clever hazel]

yeah gunslinger is vanilla cop with cool weapons and engine stuff

[hushed current]

Only thing I really enjoyed about gunslinger was all the guns it had

[wispy walrus]

WELL ENGINE STUFF IS DEBATABLE

[finite dragon]

All 3

[wispy walrus]

its using injectors lel

[finite dragon]

The Controller rework was neat

[clever hazel]

oh it's not an openxray fork?

[finite dragon]

Why Burers

[wispy walrus]

they actually a added a groza a few days ago, they even have a non gp25 ver

[finite dragon]

WHYYYY

[clever hazel]

i figured they were making actual source edits

[finite dragon]

Can the Groza support a suppressor?

[wispy walrus]

yup

has a custom mesh even

[finite dragon]

Thank God

[clever hazel]

i never played gunslinger tbf i just remember drooling over the little videos

[finite dragon]

All the Grozas I've seen in mods refuse a supp

[wispy walrus]

gunslinger actually uses injectors on the engine similar to how an enb would

[finite dragon]

While even a M98B can take one

[wispy walrus]

that's mostly a fault of the times, they started before openx ray even was a thing

[clever hazel]

yeah i can imagine

is that meme co-op mod still being developed

light of hope or whatever

[finite dragon]

Nah in the RoH server and it's just people asking when

And nope

[wispy walrus]

guyzzzz its literally tarkov xd

[finite dragon]

So

ouch

[wispy walrus]

the instant i saw open pvp, gearloss, i just went

NOPE NOPE NOPE

[hushed current]

Only one mod I managed to get working for call of Pripyat I’ll post it in en_modifications and I really enjoyed the oblivion lost mod for shadow of Chernobyl but I gave up because of how repetitive it got at the end

[finite dragon]

Ray of Hope will never see the light of day

[wispy walrus]

ray of nope

[finite dragon]

It's just dead

[south narwhal]

is there any way of reducing amount of ammo in looted guns, or preferably set a variable amount, because it has always a full ammo

[clever hazel]

i really liked the animation stuff ray of hope was going for but i never thought the mod as a whole looked very appealing

[finite dragon]

While the Ruskis are stringing others along

You see all these notifs in RoH and its all Russian

And being French

what

whats going on

[wispy walrus]

I mean RoH is mainly a russian team

they're just dragging the weirdos called the western fan base along for the ride

[clever hazel]

respectable tbh

[finite dragon]

Soon enough there'll be a closed beta and it's just a contract to say it's working along with a NDA

[wispy walrus]

most of the "hype" in the western community is the same guy who hyped up anomaly aton

[finite dragon]

Anomaly is decent, good even and lives a bit up to it

RoH is just stringing along everyone else

[wispy walrus]

mind you, using tarkov players to hype up your mp mod isn't exactly the best course of action, but that's just me, its fine for an sp thing.

[hushed current]

I only managed to find two clips of foren playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl those and his reaction to Seth’s review

[finite dragon]

Just watch one

He's incredibly boring

And he's mostly in Twitch

[hushed current]

Agreed but at least his gameplay wasn’t infuriating

[pseudo yoke]

Lol just learn Russian

[wispy walrus]

a man of wisdom

[finite dragon]

ah yes why dont i waste 7 months of my life

[wispy walrus]

if nlc wont translate itself

i translate myself instead

[pseudo yoke]

How is learning a language a waste of your life?

Smoothbrain views

[finite dragon]

So? Learning a language just for one mod is mostly not going to be used anyway

[pseudo yoke]

Learning a language in general has more uses than just a video game

But I can already tell that viewpoint is wasted on you

[finite dragon]

You make it sound as if I'll be using Russian more..

[clever hazel]

knowing russian is incredibly useful as a stalker fan

[hushed current]

I remember a guy who learned elvish

[wispy walrus]

a ton of people do that

and i think they're all nerds

[pseudo yoke]

Knowing any language that has actual use in the world is a good way to improve yourself

[clever hazel]

in general learning languages is cool and good

unless you're some weirdo studying like the game of thrones languages

[finite dragon]

Mmhmm

[hushed current]

I personally would be interested in learning Ukrainian polish or Finnish

[pseudo yoke]

Why Ukrainian?

[hushed current]

I find Ukrainian culture to be underrated it and there people are pretty interesting

[finite dragon]

^

Finnish too

[hushed current]

Yeah the Finnish have a very sad history that makes you respect them for all the hell they survived

[finite dragon]

Just dont try learning Japanese and the dialects

I have no idea how they got so much dialects in that island of theirs

[south narwhal]

russian is really useful language when you need more sources in technical, mechanical and thermodynamical field

[finite dragon]

Interesting

[south narwhal]

if there is no good sources on some topic in english then there is a good chance it is in russian

[finite dragon]

.... cramming one more language to learn will definitely be a pain though

[south narwhal]

as for me, i have really no excuse for not being able to read in russian, as it is mainly learning alphabet and most words you can understand

[finite dragon]

is it worth the commitment?

[finite dragon]

Don't beat yourself there

Being bilingual is already something solid

[limpid ruin]

anyone want to buy me a pc so i can run this damn game

[pseudo yoke]

No

Start an onlyfans

[south narwhal]

you need fans for that

I don't live in the Ukraine nor do I have any film making skills

But basically, a documentry like series following a small group of stalkers but filmed in the same way as Restrepo or Armadilo

I WOULD CRAP MYSELF

If I was sitting at a campfire talking with some other loners

And some dude with no face, just a blood suck grabbed my character, spun me around and said "Blow out coming soon fellow stalker" and then disappeared

So STALKER 2 has a 64Km square map
Does it mean 8x8 or 64x64

[wispy walrus]

it says 64km squared from everything I've read

8km squared would be the same as every map in shoc, cs and cop together if I've read right

for reference RDR2 is like

50km squared I believe?

64x64

tfw 4 decked out duty chads go 4v40 in freedoms main base, die and the only people mourning them are... freedom people in side chat

[pseudo yoke]

Proof that it's 64x64

[finite dragon]

The closest game comparsion I could find for the map size of 64km squared is Farcry 5 at 60km

Steam page

PUBG's first map if you remove the water is also 64km squared

No way

That big?

And to think you can play in that kind of map on your phone
