As much as I would like to love S2 I kinda have a feeling that it isnt the ultimate stalker game we all wanted and that it will dissapoint. But then again I hope GSC proves me wrong.
pseudo rivet
Same, but I doubt they will
earnest urchin
i mean if fans perceive the series into something which it never was then its their own fault
pseudo rivet
GSC are also fans
It's not like they're the original GSC that made the trilogy
They probably have their own vision as well
We'll see
earnest urchin
yeah
flat prism
Man, they're such marketing geniuses because it doesn't matter how much gameplay you put out for this. It's a NEW STALKER GAME. People are going to absolutely lose their minds over pre-orders and physical items and retail editions etc. I can't just live off of one gameplay trailer, I mean, we're 4 months away from release and we've BARELY seen any gameplay, HUD, mechanics, or locations. It's mostly been concept art and I know it may seem like they're trying to prevent spoilers but come on, at least show us one old location that got a makeover? Show us some of the HUD?
pseudo rivet
Sounds more like bad marketing and the community craving for some actual news
flat prism
Right, but, have you seen the amount of people frothing out their mouths for retail and physical editions? Like, idk how people can pre-order a $340 physical edition when they don't even know what the game is like yet... crazy to think about
pseudo rivet
Exactly what I've been wondering for almost 10 years now, I think?
People see a new game, get hyped, pre-order and get disappointed
flat prism
Well you think people would have learned their lesson after so many dissapointments...
flat prism
It's a never ending cycle
limber crypt
I wonder if the game isnt ready to show just yet.
flat prism
4 months until release, you really think it's "not ready to show yet?"
pseudo rivet
Yeah, they've definitely got stuff to show
flat prism
I'm not trying to attack them in any way, either. I'm just kind of concerned about this whole "what does the game play like" thing
pseudo rivet
That and the lore and models
civic fiber
never preorder!
flat prism
The lore I'm not that concerned about unless they go down into some weird territory, the models I already know are going to look really good so it's just how the game plays and how polished it is
civic fiber
|| I've already preordered and forgot about it xD ||
civic fiber
>Me who got it for free and won't be able to run it at all
how so? Got it from devs and dotn have rig for it?
civic fiber
and there are no chips cause crisis and Eth miners?
I was looking how much 3080 dropped in price xD hah they arent even sold here, just not avalible, none of the gups are crazy
pseudo rivet
It's more so that I need to replace my entire PC
It's some weird business model that won't fit any new graphics cards
civic fiber
Well I build my rigs, but that's the problem right there- there's a massive shortage of chips in general and especially GPUs - just wait till Eth. changes the mining protocolls, and all the used 20 and 30 series flood the secondhand market
I purchased 2080ti in 2020 and I was like last thru the door xD
wait 2019 - before covid.
pseudo rivet
Kek
civic fiber
will see how the S2 will run - I belive that UE5 is gonna be ridiculously well optimized, since they are aiming at console market (they UE5 devs)
time will tell xD - it's not Xray xD so there's hope
😬

its the atmosphere that makes Stalker. Its what made Metro as well (4A is made of former Stalker devs). They need to nail it or else the game will dissapoint.
flat prism
Yeah, atmosphere should most definitely be priority for Stalker games
fickle bison
according to the ask gsc channel, GSC will not announce about any upcoming reveals as a rule
fickle bison
there will be more news and reveals, we just wont know about them until they drop lmao
flat prism
Well they better start pretty soon lol
fluid abyss
hello hello
fierce trench
I mostly hope that the game plays well, runs well and has good side content. Loved the hand-crafted feel of CoP.
And I also hope that GSC won't go on a marketing rampage like CDPR in an attempt to sell non-existent features, but from the looks of things, they have more integrity than that.
tired anvil
Well
fierce trench
So, if anything, I actually prefer them being maybe too quiet than too loud.
fierce trench
Yeah, that's one thing that makes me scratch my head. I wonder what went on at GSC that day.
fluid abyss
yea... that was a close call
some people I've talked to said it was too close, and that it shouldn't have happened in the first place
tired anvil
People love money, that's all I see 
flat prism
I'm actually quite glad they didn't pull a Battlefield 2042 and show us gameplay only 4 months before release
fluid abyss
either way, I do not mind if GSC has to postpone release to add all of the juicy features that would make STALKER, well, STALKER
flat prism
Stalker 2 had a proper reveal trailer, proper teasers, and a solid E3 trailer
fierce trench
I'm still not sure how to feel about it. On one hand, it was a really dumb, out-of-touch decision that should never have been considered, but on the other hand, very few companies would take the L from the outrage.
tired anvil
Not really an L since they listened and avoided more chaos tbh
fierce trench
And GSC aren't just some indie studio, either.
tired anvil
That part is funny
fluid abyss
I just want the physical preorder for US, man
tired anvil
Half of you guys say they are indie, other half says AAA
limber crypt
Considering the absolute dumpster fire that is the western game industry. All GSC has to do is release a game that doesnt crash on launch on PC and has no MTX and they are already ahead of the competition.
flat prism
Half of you guys say they are indie, other half says AAA
I think they're definitely AAA because there are literally 300 plus people working on the game and they have the latest, most up to date and high tech stuff they're using to develop their game
tired anvil
Western
Good thing CDPR ain't Western
fierce trench
I can't think of [m]any indie developers who got their hands on UE5 early, for one.
fickle bison
How did the new GSC get over 300 employee's when their only previous game was Cossacks 3 🤔
tired anvil
Well
flat prism
New company, basically
fickle bison
new company implies starting capital, money for equipments and employess, and licensing fdee's
fickle bison
Sergiy has a private motorcycle track and hosts stuff
oh wow
fierce trench
Don't they have their OG programmer who developed A-Life on board?
fickle bison
yea
fluid abyss
stoop, I can only get so hyped
fierce trench
That alone is a good sign, in my opinion.
fierce trench
Man's developed AI that still manages to beat some modern games' AI and surprise players to this day, even if it might be buggy.
tired anvil
Ain't even that buggy tbh
fluid abyss
one time in CoP I encountered a squad of like 12 guys, and they all had the same model
tired anvil
Lmao
limber crypt
>Western
Good thing CDPR ain't Western <:yehidniy_rock:801389347471491092>
Agreed.
fierce trench
In any case, I hope the NFT kerfuffle was just a one-time occurrence, like when Valve tried to implement paid mods and then backed out almost immediately after receiving backlash and realizing it was a dumb idea.
wide aspen
i found all the tools exept one in cop
i didn't find it
last one i think is in pripyat

yeah, there's one there
iirc its in the anomaly infested basement of a building somewhere

there is 2

iirc its in the anomaly infested basement of a building somewhere

Does anyone have the picture of the Lamborghini with the stalker license plate

Stalker 2 had a proper reveal trailer, proper teasers, and a solid E3 trailer
Some people don’t think so lol
flat prism
At least we got it well before release
Battlefield 2042 did everything within a 4 month gap
And I mean everything...
fierce trench
The fact that they didn't invite Keanu Reeves to play Sidorovich is already comforting.
CP2077 was like the perfect example of all bark and no bite, and it doesn't look like S2 is heading this way.
tired anvil
No bark and no bite?
hearty finch
I feel as if sidorovich left his bunker the zone would tremble
cedar forum
Aren't there more traders?
hearty finch
i meant if sid left his bunker and ventured into the zone
who knows what that old man is capable of

Do you think GSC could be bought by Microsoft after Stalker 2?
They did it with Double Fine (Psychonauts 2)

but i won't use them at all
like a merc suit and the normal suit that u start with
ive already got a wind of freedom suitt
knotty sedge
Merc suit is better than both iirc
amber stone
waitt lemme checl
no wind of freedom is better
ok does anyone know where tthe x16 lab is
worthy lagoon
Y'all dumb
SSP-99M is the BEST suit there is in SoC
Ya guys clearly don't understand...
knotty sedge
you can't get that early in the game though
amber stone
you can't get that early in the game though
i already have some good stuff
worthy lagoon
you can't get that early in the game though
True but it's still the best suit
amber stone
i just wantt to get a specific stash to get more ammo for the vss
worthy lagoon
Play by exploring the game
It would ruin the experience if you know the locations of all the stashes
amber stone
no i dont know all locations
amber stone
itss just a tutorial on how to get some gear for early game
worthy lagoon
Get the coordinates
wicked sleet
yeah don't watch those, you can literally get endgame gear before you even strart first quest, it will ruin your game
amber stone
you might be right
worthy lagoon
the x16 lab
That's because it's a secret, you will that later in the game
Just play the game by exploring the maps
amber stone
ohhhh
worthy lagoon
You get stash coordinates by looting corpses and by buying informations
amber stone
thats suicide
wicked sleet
have toilet paper ready
knotty sedge
X16 is best lab
amber stone
yeah
gusty drum
thats suicide
It's zone lul
wicked sleet
ha ! western spion !
amber stone
which one to choose
worthy lagoon
trs 301 or sgi 5g?
Knife
finite dragon
Wow. How did you get a wind of freedom suit already? When did you even start the game?
amber stone
right now
amber stone
but both are really good
which one is better
finite dragon
I’m assuming you’re playing SoC?
knotty sedge
which one is better
You choose. SGI can't use a scope but a the TRs can, but the SGI is more accurate and does more damge.
amber stone
its actually my first time speed running lol
amber stone
You choose. SGI can't use a scope but a the TRs can, but the SGI is more accurat...
hmm
what do you think @finite dragon
worthy lagoon
on what difficulty are you playing?
amber stone
master
worthy lagoon
good
finite dragon
It’s a game I wouldn’t recommend speedrunning the first time but wow, at least you’re playing and that’s great
amber stone
are not very good to look at
finite dragon
My first playthrough lasted 33 hours and it took me around 5 hours of gameplay to get to the second area and I enjoyed every second of it
I liked the atmosphere very much

I wish it took me that long. I complete almost every quest and still isn't nearly that long.

As long as it's not bugged textures and such even a game with a 2007 graphics can destroy a game made in 2022

For a game from 2007 this is honestly very impressive graphics
New Vegas, which is from 2010, doesn't look as good
tired anvil
CS from 2008 looks better than a lot of stuff out there
finite dragon
btw panas which is better trs 301 or sgi 5k?
I usually choose the TRS, the SGI is also good but the TRS is better for CQB and furthermore it can be used with a grenade launcher
gusty drum
As long as it's not bugged textures and such even a game with a 2007 graphics ca...
Actually, there is a fix, which fix everything, something similar to wide-screen fix in early gta's.
amber stone
I usually choose the TRS, the SGI is also good but the TRS is better for CQB and...
so the trs?
finite dragon
Well I’m not a gun expert but I’d say the TRS
gusty drum
CS from 2008 looks better than a lot of stuff out there
Soc has full dynamic shadows, when bf3 get it only in 2013
wicked sleet
honestly i never had problem with stalkers graphics wise, maybe gun textures but those can be modded easily
and yeah night storm on full dynamic lighting is awesome
amber stone
Well I’m not a gun expert but I’d say the TRS
if you're in a playthrough are you gonna choose the trs?
finite dragon
if you're in a playthrough are you gonna choose the trs?
TRS overall but if I know I’m gonna run through the woods for a long time I’d go for the SGI as it has a longer barrel (therefore greater accuracy and decreased recoil) and it jams less
Honestly during my first playthrough I knew nearly nothing about guns, this game is what got me into at least learning the basics
amber stone
alrighty then
im literally stuck
i used a bug to get over the duty checkpoint and now i cant go past it
finite dragon
Where are you in the game now and what are you up to
finite dragon
So…in Rostok?
amber stone
no in garbage
keen hollow
better be able to have some interactions with monolith
finite dragon
Make sure you didn’t slaughter the Duty guards on your way
Because if you did everyone in rostok will be hostile
wicked sleet
now go make money to the arena
amber stone
ok after 2 hours of soc
i can give my review
first of all the game is very atmospheric and immersive
but its weapons arent helping
and im not a big fan of just running around the map
there is no fast travel option as there in anomaly
which sucks for me
but i did enjoy killing bandits and stuff
but running around the map just isnt my thing
worthy lagoon
now go make money to the arena
Virgin move
rustic elbow
there is no fast travel option as there in anomaly
-wants immersion
-fast travel
hushed aurora
but running around the map just isnt my thing
Do you do the main quests?
wide aspen
yo any cop expert?
waxen crypt
I think the no fast travel stuff is unique and makes you familiar with the map to the point where you know exactly where you’re going
amber stone
anomaly is my first stalker game
amber stone
Do you do the main quests?
yes
waxen crypt
Then again I’m still on the 2nd mission of the main quest so my opinion shouldn’t matter

i finished tthe first 2 main quests

its right tho, half the game happens between locations

What is your current quest?

I think you enjoy anomaly more if you play it after the base games

Thats what I’m saying yeah

I played all the base games and then coc and then road to the north and then misery and then anomaly

i have to meet mole in agroprom

there is a mod for fast travel type ZRP mod, and it adds more stuff like how long does the stuff you breaked desapear and enchanted night vision and some tweaks

@amber stone I’m just curious, when did you first start playing anomaly? How did you find out about anomaly? What was it like jumping into the world with no background?
amber stone
but most people are telling me to play vanilla
worthy lagoon
Real chads have played OLR

What were your first impressions
I didnt realize anyone found stalker through bluedrake
amber stone
i thought it was a crappy stupid game at first
wide aspen
bro start vanilla even if you hate it use ZRP and tweak the game a lil, or else you wont understand crap and read every dialog and pda you find @amber stone
worthy lagoon
My suggestion is play the trilogy first, as you are doing rn, do not look up at guides, do what do you think it's right, explore the Zone, it's all yours, find its secrets by yourself
amber stone
bro start vanilla even if you hate it use ZRP and tweak the game a lil, or else ...
alr
then i found eft
wide aspen
ZRP gives u teleport but u have to restart game
amber stone
i was really interested in that game
wide aspen
yeah but teleport is great
worthy lagoon
bro start vanilla even if you hate it use ZRP and tweak the game a lil, or else ...
Why ZRP?
wide aspen
ZRP is good no?
worthy lagoon
Teleport ruins the experience
soft ice
It’s just bug fixes
worthy lagoon
Especially in SoC
wide aspen
gives tweaks and crap
amber stone
anyway
soft ice
You’re already 1/4 of the way through just do vanilla
worthy lagoon
Let him play the vanilla as it is
amber stone
i wanted a free alternative to eft

many people said play stalker gamess
worthy lagoon
anyway any cop expert here?

That’s a wierd comparison to make they’re different

many people said play stalker gamess
Stalker=/=EFT
amber stone

What did you think when you started playing anomaly?
amber stone

What did you think when you started playing anomaly?
"ok what in the world is going on"

Here's my suggestion, ignore those who compare EFT and STALKER and those who says it's an alternative, play the game as it is and have fun, enjoy the story, and remember, if you explore the Zone you will always be rewarded... Sometimes... @amber stone
amber stone
i didnt know you have to equip it

Here's my suggestion, ignore those who compare EFT and STALKER and those who say...
yeah thats what im doing

yes but monolith are like gsc tweaked the monolith to be hard
even on rookie mode
but after all those deaths i learned how to beat them

they are good shots but still all you need for CNPP is a VSS with 200ish rounds

if you're playing clear sky and have big patience like me

but a youtuber called clusterplays is ussing it

just bring every guns you find to the trader
bring it until you can't bring no more, you'll get money
abstract fiber
either he's on an old build or has done some manual work to get it functional, aka downloading the mod and then going through and deleting all of the gamedata and such save for the shader parts
if you could get it down to just the shaders, lighting, etc it might work fine, but you'd need knowledge of what to delete or a guide
amber stone
so you cant download it can you
abstract fiber
i never found anything of the sort though

it's not worth it imo, it looks good but that blown-out contrast gets to be a bit much after awhile

amber stone
im using agressor reshade but its not that good

try prosperity's reshades, there's 12 presets and you can tweak them as you please
but afaik expedition is a lost cause
or, well, more trouble than it's worth if you've never dissected an anomaly mod

it's super annoying and difficult

What is anomaly anyway?
anomaly is a (sort of) fan made standalone mod of Stalker: Call of Pripyat but with EVERY Stalker map stitched together
it has a questline and quests similar to the first sdalger but has visual elements of the third sdalger game
gameplay wise it's all over the place and there are quite a few buggy and useless aspects to it that mil-sim fans like to circlejerk over
that is anomaly 
waxen crypt

I like it a lot, but I hate the people who only play it because they saw bluedrake or operatordrewskis video on it and think it’s just like tarkov. And didn’t play the base games

fluid abyss
Imagine, a rare voiceline after Freedom members kill a bloodsucker: "Man, I wish these things could be domesticated"
dammit
dusk oasis
fluid abyss
I say the s word a bunch normally
so this server being stinkers about it is gonna lead to many more warnings in the future lol
dusk oasis
Yeah I've had 2 already

dusk oasis
When I'm not in a professional environment, swear words are deeply integrated into my vocabulary
oh well 
fluid abyss
dang there is no picture option in this channel? makes sense for spam but bruh
Duty "no fun allowed" picture here
anyways, I think one thing that they should do is add a LOT of voicelines
one thing I find annoying in games is once you've played a few dozen hours, you start recognizing pretty much all of the voicelines
in the case of Stalker I don't speak russian so it takes a bit longer, but still the sounds enemies make start becoming familiar after a while
having tons of voicelines would mean that even veteran players can come across voicelines they've never heard before
dusk oasis
You make a really solid point actually
I notice that with tarkov, whenever I hear a scav day something, I'm like "oh yeah I know that line"
fluid abyss
"Shoot and Scoot!" -Payday 2
"I'm green to green dude let's go" - Insurgency
"Tenno SKOOM!" - Warframe
etc.
dusk oasis
Having a lot of diversity in the voice lines would make every encounter feel fresh
fluid abyss
yes
I think there was a game I played once, that had rare voicelines... I don't remember what it was though
I think the only issue with that game was that the rare voicelines were TOO rare, to the point where yeah I never heard them before but I've heard the common ones a million times
dusk oasis
Yeah, whereas for stalker it would be better to just have such an immense amount of lines that it would be rare to hear the same one a bunch of times
fluid abyss
mhm
ahh what was it... there was another game that did this
half life 2, maybe?
oh wait
Insurgency sandstorm
in sandstorm, if you taunt an enemy player and they taunt back, they can start a short back-and-forth of insults
usually its only like 2-4 responses long
but that tiny detail of enemies responding specifically to what you said is really cool
I've only played a little, but apparently Titanfall 2 also does a thing where NPCs spawned in a squad will react accordingly to their squad's condition, even crying out in anguish when they're the last one left in their squad (even during a multiplayer match where their presence is generally negligible)
dusk oasis
Yeah seeing a fleshed out voice line ai system would be awesome
fluid abyss
I think Stalker 2 should do a similar thing with their squads sometimes (not too often to the point where it becomes repetitive)
dusk oasis
Maybe they'll have a built in companion system similar to how anomaly has
fluid abyss
I have not played any stalker mods
Is that like companions from fallout?
Or is it more like replaceable squadmates from half life 2
because personally I don't really like the idea of having set companions that follow you around
I'd prefer mercs or guns-for-hires you can enlist, or that can enlist you, to help out on missions
depending on how huge you want to make the scope, you could have a fair and balanced way of making sure the player doesn't just straight up kill the other stalkers and take their stuff (and repeat)
idk, I feel like companions would make things complicated
lone wolf ftw
dusk oasis
Oh it's done well
It's like someone you hire for and can get rid of
And if they die they are literally g o n e
And sometimes it's someone you are temporary helping out
And if they die, the task will fail and they never pay you
fluid abyss
those tasks will need to be expendable side quests
dusk oasis
They are
fluid abyss
cuz I dislike side quests that easily fail and you can't redo it
dusk oasis
I'm sure GSC will do a good job with a companion system, it not, mods will save the day
fluid abyss
For the backstabbers out there, intentionally kill one too many mercs and you have to fight off against a super beefy merc that will betray YOU instead first chance after walking out a good distance from the safe zone.
dusk oasis
cuz I dislike side quests that easily fail and you can't redo it
Quickload lol

fluid abyss
stalker when you do some crazy quest just to be awarded a whopping 500 rubles
finite dragon
i don't mind the low income in stalker from the quests
bevause i simply pick up the people im killings guns and sell them to the closest shop
in fallout for example new vegas early game the most you'll get is a 9mm pistol and that's worth jack
fluid abyss
I guess, I think I know what you mean
finite dragon
the low levels at the beginning's weapons don't sell for anything
fluid abyss
isnt it the same for stalker tho
I just wish the weapons in stalker were more encouraged to actually be used
anything other than starting pistol or pistols that take a different cartridge: ammo only comes from certain enemies
SMGs: ammo only drops from certain enemies, is a weaker AK
shotguns: common ammo, not great for mid-high enemies tho
AKs: common ammo, harder to find on bandits but shreds them fast enough to not make a difference
Snipers: ammo is too rare or expensive to be confident in using it
rocket/grenade launchers: ammo is wayyy too rare and expensive to feel good using it

All the fallout games have this massive empty map

What about it
civic fiber
I dont know
It's like they aren't taking the game seriously - back in the 2000's the opinion that all videogames are for children was way stronger than now days. So the intonations are strange and weird and it often sounds like it was translated from english translation - which is the case for Metro games aswell.
UA/RU language is lot closer to Czech than EN, you can clearly see that in the structure of sentances
So while there is lots of emotion in the heavy rough voices of somebody who went thru hell of the original UA/RU voice actors the czech voices are relaxed and goofy.
Kinda like Metro gets ruined by fake russian acsent of the EN voiceactors. - Original is miles ahead in the acting part.

I get why they did it market-wise. People remember roubles from the USSR times. But the game specifically mentions Ukraine and the protagonist of the last game is an active agent of the SBU, which contradicts the thought that the Union never collapsed. It's just a silly gimmick they made that is too far gone to abandon now. But still silly.

A REMINDER OF THE RULES OF HUMANE TREATMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL SPECIMENS
For employees of the complex of laboratories X
- In cases where surgical intervention or an experiment with pain irritation is expected, anesthesia should be performed before the specimen is tied to the machine.
- The calculation of the anesthetic agent should be per kilogram of sample weight. The name of the substance and its amount must be recorded not only in the protocol of the experiment, but also in a special card No. 3-18.
- During the experiment, when it turns out to be longer than originally planned, additional administration of anesthetics is mandatory.
- During experiments involving the use of psi-radiation, with the exception of those aimed at establishing the maximum perception limits of Psi-A by samples, it is recommended to pre-administer the drug No. 11/4.
- At the end of the acute experiment, if it ends with the death of the sample, the experimenter is obliged to kill the specimen before the anesthetic agent expires.
- After the end of the surgical intervention, the specimen must be transferred to the postoperative protected room on a special stretcher that excludes the possibility of tissue displacement, sutures divergence, obtaining mobility, etc.
- If the specimen may experience pain in the postoperative period, the experimenter should anticipate this possibility and prescribe analgesics or anxiolytics.

Day of fetal development: 30
When dissecting the fetus at the junction of the embryonic and fetal periods, it is already possible to draw conclusions about the significant influence of psi on the course of organogenesis and morphogenesis.
More clearly there is a deviation in the formation of the skull: a significant increase in the brain section is accompanied by a modification of the jaw by the type of predatory species or primates. In addition, the anatomy of the cervical spine structure suggests fusion of the cervical and thoracic parts during further morphogenesis. Also among the mutations of interest is a neoplasm in the area of the right temporal lobe. According to the results of the histological study, this protoorgan is similar to the faceted eye, but still differs in its cellular structure from its insect counterparts.
In order to study phenotypic changes in more detail, tissue samples were sent to the laboratories of the Agroprom Research Institute for molecular analysis.

Eh, sweat it out in the gym. No problemo.
crimson tinsel
I dont bother about weight
Im always at 55-58 kg range
But the notion of lack of friends is upsetting
hushed prawn
That's featherweight dude.
crimson tinsel
Im a manlet
hushed prawn
Friends are overrated. Get comrades. Comrades are better. Some make good friends after all.
crimson tinsel
No comrades either
hushed prawn
Then find an activity in your area.
hushed prawn
Well, that would be a start.
crimson tinsel
I dont actually need anyone now because I got over it. The pizza situation was like half a year ago
All I need is books and a good pc to play S2 on
hushed prawn
Told ya.
crimson tinsel
Hm
What if you could make pizza in the Zone?
One bakery managed to produce bread without contagious agents in them
One problem though
Where do you get the cheese?
open lintel
mutate the flesh into a cow
crimson tinsel
Is the milk safe though?
finite dragon
crimson tinsel
Nightmarish cheese
hushed prawn
Eh, people are still living the real-life zone. It is definitely NOT recommended to drink the local milk OR eat anything grown there. But people do it nonetheless.
crimson tinsel
Le bruh
hushed prawn
I kinda expected the local potatoes and pumpkins to be bigger, somehow. Radiation and all.

Cheese to choke with
Cheese & choke challenge

I’ve always wanted to visit Chernobyl but with Russia looking to invade Ukraine, I think tourism will be a no no.
hushed prawn
We've been invaded, like, 8 years ago. They're just turning up the volume now. Come visit while it lasts.
tired anvil
Westerners finding out about the situation in Ukraine only now will never get old
hushed prawn
Yup.
wicked sleet
you should definitely go when safe, hell of an experience
tired anvil
It's always been safe
Unless you go to the border where you won't even be able to legally go, it will be perfectly fine and even safer than many other countries
wicked sleet
I'm aware, just not easy to convince people lol
tired anvil
Yea, I don't think many know the distance between the border and Pripyat either
hushed prawn
It's like 80km from Kyiv, a hour+ bus trip. Groups are going all the time, some are a 2-3 day stays in the local hotel for the station staff.
wicked sleet
i was in with tour guide, i'm no Shiey lol
hushed prawn
And the city itself is slowly crumbling due to disrepair, best to go while it still stands and is recognizable in the trees.
wicked sleet
hotel itself is basically ready to fall so i hear
hushed prawn
Go now, lick irradiated sewage lid, develop superpowers.
hushed prawn
hotel itself is basically ready to fall so i hear
Polissya hotel looked fine when I been there. I mean, fine as any abandoned building could be. The village houses are way worse, they are very much sunk into the ground.
wicked sleet
i've been in 2012, i imagine much has changed for worse since
hushed prawn
Definitely for worse. They have officially banned people from venturing into the village buildings and some in the city due to a possibility of an accident. Those staircases are not as stable as they were in 1986.
People still do it, obviously. But when you do, you need to be extra careful.
