[long harbor]

Same dude..

I just can't control myself but rage over a random emoji

[finite dragon]

Happens when something becomes literally overused

[worthy lagoon]

Just ignore it lmao

[long harbor]

can't

[finite dragon]

I mean, it's hard to when literally every single person reacts with the same emoji

[worthy lagoon]

[finite dragon]

Just saying

[long harbor]

i'm just laughing at a sdalger meme when suddenly

a 🤨 shows up

[worthy lagoon]

[finite dragon]

Bruh

I honestly have no idea what people find funny in this: 🤨

[long harbor]

it's just too annoying

like it's something at the back of my head and all of a sudden i think about it

and gets upset

[worthy lagoon]

It's because of this

[long harbor]

shut up weeb

[worthy lagoon]

I ain't liying

Someone posted a picture of it

[long harbor]

yeah i saw it

[worthy lagoon]

And then everyone started spamming the emoji

[long harbor]

the other day or yesterday i don't remember

[worthy lagoon]

But then someone else removed it

[worthy lagoon]

Nah, it was a week ago

[long harbor]

at this point im just begging GSC to ban this emoji because it's giving me PTSD

[worthy lagoon]

Or even more

[long harbor]

😩

[worthy lagoon]

[long harbor]

SHUT UP WEEB

[finite dragon]

It's rather annoying

[worthy lagoon]

Just ignore it lol

[finite dragon]

This

[worthy lagoon]

As long as they are not spamming

[finite dragon]

They literally are

That's the thing

Every single meme has that emoji at this point

[worthy lagoon]

Reaction spamming isn't considerated spamming as long as the emotes are SFW

And such

[long harbor]

the STALKER justice system

[finite dragon]

Just wait till more and more people will start getting annoyed by that

It's just a matter of time tbh

Even those who are spamming that will get bored sooner or later

[worthy lagoon]

How can you literally get annoyed by literally a reaction that doesn't afflict you in any way which is only contained in #🤨┃stalker_memes

You are making that thing yours problem even if it's not

[finite dragon]

Because it's being used literally on every meme

Even on memes that won't fit under that emoji

[worthy lagoon]

And?

[finite dragon]

It's annoying because overused. That's it

[long harbor]

it's like some child's bragging/saying a dead meme repeatly

like that one kid who just found out about "AMOGUS" 1 year after it dies then keeps saying it to people

[worthy lagoon]

So basically i should punish those people just because you think it's an overrated meme even if they are using SFW emojis and not spamming

[finite dragon]

Kappa

[worthy lagoon]

While you can just ignore it

[finite dragon]

Did I say that you should? Not at all. Just that it's kinda hard to ignore when it's being on every meme

[worthy lagoon]

Smh, they are not even reacting with external emojis or country flags

[finite dragon]

And literally on EVERY meme

[raw garnet]

I need to learn Ukrainian/Russian to read STALKER memes

[finite dragon]

Not even exegerration

[worthy lagoon]

And?

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah okay that's fair

Just don't go and target those who react with that emoji

[long harbor]

just ask for translation

[tired anvil]

Man, you probably weren't even around here for the Strelok chain

[finite dragon]

It's the overusing that causes the meme to stop being funny exactly

[tired anvil]

The 🤨 is nothing in comparison

[worthy lagoon]

[raw garnet]

Itd be annoying to constantly ask the meme poster to translate

[finite dragon]

Strelok's emoji at least is more fun, loo

[worthy lagoon]

[tired anvil]

Or just use a translator

[finite dragon]

Plus I actually love that emoji so nothing against that

[worthy lagoon]

Kinda difficult to write Cyrillic without a keyboard for that

[tired anvil]

You don't need to write to translate it you know

[worthy lagoon]

Even if digital keyboard exist

[worthy lagoon]

Nani

[open lintel]

https://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/russian.htm

[tired anvil]

That's a waste of time

Man y'all behind the times

[worthy lagoon]

I mean, there's Windows keyboard either way

[tired anvil]

Lemme go to the meme chat and grab a Russian meme

http://prntscr.com/26quclp

Takes seconds to use a translator 🤷‍♂️

[long harbor]

at least it's a good emoji + it's something you can use to tell the original artist how you enjoyed the meme

[finite dragon]

Also depends on the meme tbh. There are memes that can be on Russian yet still can be understood by English speakers

[long harbor]

not spamming some random senseless emoji

[long harbor]

yeah lol

[tired anvil]

It was literally a chain going on for days

There was no such thing as telling an artist how much you enjoyed the meme back then

Hell think it was even weeks tbh

Stalker 2 When

[void vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-kitten-cute-hole-gif-16790852

[modern glen]

guys

i just found out that there's fan made stalker on psp (playstation potrable)

[still ridge]

That’s cool

[modern glen]

im gonna check it out on real hardware

[still ridge]

stick detector is gonna be tier 1

In place of echo detector or before it

[modern glen]

Alright

Managed to run stalker on my old psp

[amber stone]

how's the game

[modern glen]

terrible, but i've downloaded two versions

changed my mind

its great

only the map is kinda empty

no trees extra buildings etc

[vernal magnet]

Is it based off of SOC? Or is it closer to the cursed mobile version?

[modern glen]

its based off soc, i could make a stream playing it

[vernal magnet]

Yea I'm curious to how it looks 🤔

[crimson tinsel]

If you were a mouse you'd be scared as hell

[void vortex]

[crimson tinsel]

And the cat's breath would stink as well

Bruh

[void vortex]

gif's don't work here

[crimson tinsel]

[modern glen]

i will make a stream next hour

[solid dome]

As if yours doesn't

[crimson tinsel]

I don't breathe

[solid dome]

Everyone's breath stinks. Depends how noticeable it is.

Either you wash your teeth or not, this guy knows the truth

Lock, stock & truth

[modern glen]

alright quick decision: should i try streaming stalker on psp?

[vocal dew]

"wash" teeth LOL

[solid dome]

Doubt you can do that from the console itself

Using camera, for sure, if one can stream the open space...

[grave whale]

guys

how to stalk some1 on discord

some1 teach me

[vernal magnet]

Teach you what?

[finite dragon]

That's a neat part, you don't

[vernal magnet]

[finite dragon]

Heh, possible

[grave whale]

Eeeee

Oops

Lmao

What is this server then

Doesn't it teach u how to stalk ppl?

[finite dragon]

Lmao, no

It's about game trilogy

[grave whale]

I started a verbal world war in a gaming discord server

I dont Think im supposed to be enjoying it

[finite dragon]

Only thing I asked there is thing I found weird about Clear Sky's plot

And that's all

[solid dome]

What is that? Can't bother looking up right now

[grave whale]

Ima get popcorn

[finite dragon]

You already answered that question lol

[earnest urchin]

i dont edate

bring me artifact and might my mind

[vernal magnet]

Your really underestimating how desperate this community is for interaction especially on a no news binge for over 6 months

I'll feed the trolls dessert if they keep making me laugh

[earnest urchin]

[old elk]

just watched the trailer again
i have to say it really gives the feel of stalker.. through gameplay
the cutscenes are also nice, although a little "fresh" for my standards

[earnest urchin]

its epic

simply nostalgia bound fans are angery

[soft ice]

Is there a new trailer

[raw garnet]

So I’ve just finished searching through Strelock’s stash. I managed to exit through the way I came from but the PDA is still telling me to find a way out.

Anyone know why this is happening?

[modern mason]

There is another exit you can take, maybe that's why

Lemme find the map

[raw garnet]

but I already found a way out…

[modern mason]

I know

[raw garnet]

does the pda want me to go back in so I can find another exit through all of the aggressive stalkers and mutants?

[modern mason]

Perhaps you have to go through a specific way to trigger the quest

I've only gone through the way you're supposed to do idk

Also

The military and mutants should all be dead if you have killed them already, or were you meaning to replay it?

[raw garnet]

this is my first game

like

I’ve ran past a mutant and a couple military underground in order to enter the pipe to Strelock’s stash

[modern mason]

Ok

So what are your current tasks

Screenshot them or something

[raw garnet]

I just got off

I’ll screenshot them tmrw

[modern mason]

Its fine then don't

[vernal magnet]

100%

The E3 trailer was awesome.

Has the right visuals, great audio, atmosphere on point. Like idk wtf people are expecting

[earnest urchin]

yep

[raw garnet]

tmrw

[modern mason]

Nah its fine

Just follow the quest markers and you'll be fine

[soft ice]

It was a great trailer

[empty hull]

Honestly I was a little taken back by the trailer

It feels like they are trying to be like Metro and STALKER at the same time

Personally, I would wait and see the reviews and gameplay footage before shelling out sixty bucks.

I'm definitely not paying 120 dollars for super-secret-VIP campfire songs.

I mean come on, what is that?

[soft ice]

How metro and stalker

The only thing I don’t like is the ridiculous system requirements

Hopefully modder can make it easier

[empty hull]

I just think the visuals and cutscenes aren't very STALKER-like.

[soft ice]

How tho

[empty hull]

I do know that STALKER had cutscenes before, but they weren't really that crazy.

[empty hull]

First of all, it looks like an entirely different game

[soft ice]

Yeah because it wasn’t made in 2007

[soft ice]

It’s a trailer

Idk what you mean it’s not in game cutscenes

[empty hull]

I don't know, I guess you are right

Half Life Alyx looked completely different, and you couldn't even play it on mouse and keyboard, yet people loved it

I shouldn't be so pessimistic.

[earnest urchin]

the cutscenes in SHoC sucked balz tbh

[knotty sedge]

SoC is also older than my sister

[soft ice]

Not worse than cop ones

Cop ones were literally just like source film maker animations

[cyan cloak]

But CoP ending is cool tho

Definitely want to see it in HoC, dynamic ending

[earnest urchin]

[knotty sedge]

[cyan cloak]

(this count as anime?)

[knotty sedge]

eh

close enough

[earnest urchin]

[knotty sedge]

[still ridge]

I reckon it’s to run it on standard graphics levels

[soft ice]

Yeah fr

[still ridge]

ie not on lowest settings possible

[soft ice]

Minimal specs are

I think the recommended specs are for 60 fps on max settings

I don’t even know if you can get 60 fps on anything wiyh the minimal specs

[vernal magnet]

Half Life Alyx was a borderline religious experience for me. It was unlike anything else I had ever played and its a modern classic. They nailed it

only people who didnt invest into VR hate it because they feel gatekept. Objectively as a product and piece of art its incredible and a testament to what developers can create when they aren't holding the product back by anything less than the high end hardware of its release time

[vernal magnet]

doubtful. The game is going to have full raytracing features akin to something like Dying Light 2 and its going to be extremely performance impacting. Recommended is for non RT 1080p 30/60fps "high settings" more than likely

until we get one of those sweet graphs closer to release that detail the requirements in more detail when they are closing in on the release date

[soft ice]

They should lower that lmg

Nobody has that stuff

In the middle of shortages too

[vernal magnet]

3080/90 or better for High/Ultra RT and beyond

[soft ice]

Do they not know their audience? I don’t think a single person in ukraine has a 3080ti

[vernal magnet]

no way. why hold the game back? the original games were much the same, pushed the limit as hard as they could go. its totally optional lol

as i upgraded over the years i loved cranking stalker higher and higher and getting better FPS

[soft ice]

Uh optional to play the game?

Not everyone wants to pour thousands into playing a video game

You get that

[vernal magnet]

nobody is forcing you to run max settings bud

stick to the recommended specs without RT

[soft ice]

Even low settings. How much would that of cost now?

Think about it

[vernal magnet]

if you want the next gen experience, you have to pay to play

they are using an engine base that has RT native features. why wouldn't they implement them?

[soft ice]

So you’re saying all new releases should be totally inaccessible to people who don’t want to spend thousands of dollars in video games?

That makes no sense

Im sticking with phantom forces then

[vernal magnet]

no your ignoring what im telling you

once again, nobody is forcing you to max the games graphics out

you can run the game with "high" instead of ultra and not use RT

[soft ice]

Yes but even on low it’s not accessible

[vernal magnet]

nobody is forcing you to run max settings and buy thousands of dollars in PC hardware. thats optional

it absolutely is

how is a 1060 no accessible?

[soft ice]

You still need a pretty good laptop and that costs a lot of money now

[vernal magnet]

nobody is forcing you to use a laptop

[soft ice]

Or a pc?

You get what I’m saying

[ashen axle]

slava ukrayina#0566 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vernal magnet]

and i would argue that RTX laptops are actually rather easy to acquire for MSRP

500-600 bucks

good to go

[soft ice]

500-600?

Isn’t that gonna be in the thousands af least

[vernal magnet]

no

not unless you paying scalper prices for a 3080ti laptop

and why the heck would you do that anyway...

when stalker 2 releases at the end of this year mind you, the RTX 4000 will be out

that means the game will be supporting 3 generations of "legacy" GPU's

10 series is a very accessible entry point

i got a 3070 for 800 bucks by being patient

[soft ice]

It’s gonna be scalped asf tho

People are gonna be filling up trucks outside of warehouses

[vernal magnet]

so dont buy scalped computers? yea obviously its bad times for stock but if you pay close attention its not even hard to get this stuff on the medium/high end

[soft ice]

That’s why the 3080 is several years old but still the king of graphics cards

[vernal magnet]

i mean its not the king per se but its very high end

[soft ice]

In a normal environment iy would be outdated and cheaper by now

But with scalpers and Crypto nope

[vernal magnet]

true but your also getting annual cycles of release now

[soft ice]

Yeah but you shouldn’t have to be doing all that stuff just to be able to play video games

[vernal magnet]

i would argue this is better for the used market in general. by eliminating low end products you reduce E-waste. High end products last longer

[soft ice]

You shouldn’t have to be tracking down cards and still paying too dollar

Top

[vernal magnet]

then those products end up on the used market for cheaper when the new series comes out. which is now in an annual rate instead of biannual

[soft ice]

Yeah, if they were designed to last that’s a good thing, but not only are they not designed to last but they aren’t accessible at all

[vernal magnet]

whats not designed to last?? GPU's are durable AF for the most part

[soft ice]

Its supposed to be that old ones get cheaper every year but they just aren’t

[vernal magnet]

i still got win98 GPU's man....

[soft ice]

They’re getting more expensive

[vernal magnet]

AGP for christ sake

[vernal magnet]

except they are

[soft ice]

I mean they’re not designed to last years without becoming outdated like you said

[vernal magnet]

at least now they are

[soft ice]

Didn’t 3080 come out in 2017

At like 200 bucks

[vernal magnet]

lmao no

[soft ice]

Look at it now

[vernal magnet]

what drugs are you taking man

my old 1080ti came out in 2017

[soft ice]

I mean 1080

Yeah

[vernal magnet]

and it was 750 MSRP

i paid 1100 on ebay for mine, and sold my 970 for 375 dollars

so i made 20 dollar profit off the 970 and got the 1080ti for MSRP

if you want something, it is obtainable and reasonable

[soft ice]

1100?

[vernal magnet]

i sold my 1080ti for 650 and copped the 3070 for 800 MSRP

extremely accessible even in the current market

[soft ice]

800 is really good for the 3080ti tho

You go super lucky

[vernal magnet]

3070. not a 3080ti

[soft ice]

Idk how much those cost

[vernal magnet]

i noticed

i recommend Digital Foundry on YT for graphics breakdowns

i would argue the difference between low and high without RT these days is much more minimal then it used to be

[soft ice]

Ok but you realize you shouldn’t have to be doing all this stuff to play new video games

Its like a massive scam

[vernal magnet]

i disagree man, im 30 years old. its not a scam, its called the cost of hardware.

you realize how incredibly hard it is to Research and Develop these things?

[soft ice]

Huh?

Like develop new cards?

[vernal magnet]

their use is far beyond video games

[soft ice]

That’s not why they’re expensive

It’s because of scalpers and crypto

[vernal magnet]

they have ALWAYS been expensive lmao

[soft ice]

I hope it improves I guess with china and russia banning it

[vernal magnet]

yes its bad these days but its never been dirt cheap man

[soft ice]

They used to be like reasonably priced tho

[vernal magnet]

for low end stuff

never the high end

500 bucks in the old days. keep inflation in mind

that was just the GPU

[soft ice]

Its even worse now

I mean 3080tis cost in the thousands and 10 years ago 500 for a really high end gpu isn’t bad?

[vernal magnet]

yea but your original point was "you think its ok to pay this much to play games?"

[soft ice]

500 is pretty reasonable, maybe uou can keep the entire cost of the laptop under 1000

[vernal magnet]

and i said, yes, for the enthusiast market

[soft ice]

I just uno that you shouldnt have to invest this much time and energy to play new video games

Thjnk

[vernal magnet]

there are so many RTX laptops in the mid end below 1000

[vernal magnet]

i think its the most fun i have had my whole life lmao

[soft ice]

Good for you then

[vernal magnet]

different strokes for different folks. you wanna play games easy? buy an xbox or playstation

[soft ice]

Ok but mid end laptops canr run games like stalker 2 well

[vernal magnet]

you wanna be an enthusiast? PC

[soft ice]

Haha Xbox or play station are scalped roo

And I don’t like controllers

[vernal magnet]

for what, 750-800? woopdie doo

they dont get exploited by mining the same way

[soft ice]

But I’m not too into video games because especially with things like stalker, it’s just not rewarding for the amount of energy uoh out into it

Like I spent so long trying to have fun in ankmaly

[vernal magnet]

then dont play? or buy an xbox series S for 300 and be done with it

[soft ice]

But that’s different

I don’t like controllers

[vernal magnet]

i dont understand how you expect to get next gen graphics for cheap ever, let alone 2022

[vernal magnet]

thats a tough one. it is what it is

[soft ice]

I just think that when video games aren’t accessible it’s a joke. Because again having to invest this much money and energy just to play video games is really ridiculous if you think about it

[vernal magnet]

except they are accessible

buy an xbox series S

taada

[soft ice]

No

[vernal magnet]

you complaining about an enthusiast market segment. which makes no sense

[soft ice]

Plus that costs like the same amount of money?

[vernal magnet]

and if you purchase medium end laptop or desktops, they are not terribly priced overall

stop trying to buy a 3080 lol

you didnt even know what a 3070 was

let alone how much its MSRP was

[soft ice]

No I’m complaining that it would literally costs you thousands of dollars to play stalker 2. Im not spending thousands to play fancy bideo game. I kinda hope it flops for that and they learn their lesion

[vernal magnet]

get a 3060ti desktop prebuilt off the shelf and be done with it if you want a good deal

these OEMs are killing it out here

[vernal magnet]

this statement is objectively wrong. it does not cost thousands of dollars to play stalker 2.

[ebon plover]

gpu prices relly do be off the chart tbh, especially 3060s

[vernal magnet]

and your mad at GSC for it lmao

[soft ice]

Show me a system under 1000 dollars that can run stalker 2

[vernal magnet]

are you in the USA first off

[ebon plover]

pretty sure my 1070ti will play on medium no rtx just fine

medium/high

[soft ice]

Yeah I think that it’s not responsible to make a game that’s completely inaccessible to most of their audience

[soft ice]

No

[vernal magnet]

then its beat street dont know what to tell you about a market outside the USA

[soft ice]

Probably even worse

[vernal magnet]

see this guy gets it

[soft ice]

Let’s see how your 1070ti runs it then I guess

How much does your system cost

[vernal magnet]

"most" hmmmm

[ebon plover]

my 1070ti cost me 600 like 5 years ago lol

[vernal magnet]

5 years ago

[soft ice]

So before all the scalping and stuff huh

[vernal magnet]

your blaming GSC for scalping situation then??

dude give it up

[soft ice]

You need recommended graphics to get 60 fps correct?

[vernal magnet]

you dont understand game development clearly

[ebon plover]

buy a prebuilt and sell all the parts you don't need

[vernal magnet]

NO lol

[soft ice]

No once again I’m blaming them for not making a game that’s more accessible

[vernal magnet]

you just dont know any better

[ebon plover]

recommened is high graphics 60 fps on whatever res they say it's recommended

[soft ice]

No I should NOT GAVE TO RIP STUFF APART LIKE A CRACKHEAD TO PLAY A VIDEOGAME

[ebon plover]

lol wtf

[vernal magnet]

buy a minimum spec machine lol what is so hard to comprehend lmao

[ebon plover]

he lives in ukgraine I think so he has to give his whole paycheck to putin

[vernal magnet]

get something slightly better if you want 60fps stable on low settings. you dont need minimum or recommended. theres room inbetween as well mind blown

[ebon plover]

might be why he cant afford low end pcs

[vernal magnet]

its a pet peeve of mine when GSC gets blamed by people for making a groundbreaking game. Complaining like they dont know their core audience at all and make a game they cant play. what a joke.

[ebon plover]

yeah well I get his point of not being to play the game max graphics

[soft ice]

I hate their core audience now because it’s just milsim tarkov player who only played anomaly

[vernal magnet]

xbox series S is about as accessible as it gets. if hes hellbent on a keyboard and mouse than wam bam thank you m'am buy a minimum spec PC

[ebon plover]

but what you gonna do, either pay that 1000-2000 bucks for the gpu or cry about it ?

[vernal magnet]

it sounds like you hate everything though lol

[soft ice]

Uh no I like stalker

I like phantom forces

[ebon plover]

if it's anything like tarkov I'll be effin happy about it

[soft ice]

I kinda like playing unturned sometimes but not pvp

[soft ice]

Wtf

[ebon plover]

just the gun play I mean

[soft ice]

Why would it be like tarkov

Oh

[vernal magnet]

a real fan would be happy they are actually getting a stalker 2

[soft ice]

So you just mean good gunplay?

What does stalker 2 matter to me if neither me nor anyone I know can run it lmaoo

[ebon plover]

I want realistic sim-like gun play like tarkov yeah

[vernal magnet]

a real fan remembers 2011

[ebon plover]

and stalker 2 even if it doesn't deliver gunplay that good, modders will

but stalker 2 is very welcome too anyways

[soft ice]

Im worried it’s gonna be like SoC and fire af but tarkov players who only played anomaly are gonna hate on it because it’s not like tarkov

[soft ice]

They can’t even deliver gunplay that good to anomaly tho

[ebon plover]

how can you hate on it when you can mod it to your liking

[vernal magnet]

bro but who cares? all that matters is that GSC makes a good game and that you love the game they make

[fair crater]

anyone used arbidol?

[soft ice]

Just incompetent poles who like turning stalker into tarkov bs

[vernal magnet]

there will always be idiots

[ebon plover]

??? go see blindside plz

[soft ice]

I rly canr love it if I can’t play it

[soft ice]

Wait isnr blindside just reloads?

Does it make it like as good as gunslinger

[vernal magnet]

gotta pay to play. Thats not GSC fault. there are no free lunches in life

[soft ice]

Uhh no

Im not playing thousands of dollars to play some Russian fallout bs

[ebon plover]

blindisde is as cool as gunslinger tbh, just waiting on his other packs, and for other anims, you can get FDDA and the like

[vernal magnet]

or play it later when you can obtain a PC in your price range thats capable

[soft ice]

But like is the gun shooting as good

[vernal magnet]

why make it so the rest of us cant have what we want?

[soft ice]

Im not doing that wtf

[vernal magnet]

low specs means low game. bad AI. small world. trash game

[soft ice]

And uou say the rest of us like everyone else has 3080tis

[ebon plover]

this. no shame in it I do it all the time

[soft ice]

SoC is low spec, is it bad?

Roblox is low spec

Unturned

[vernal magnet]

no it isnt. SOC was insane in 2007.

[ebon plover]

roblox is bad tho

unturned too

[soft ice]

Low spec in 2021

You’re literally a tarkov player

I don’t wanna hear it

You probably play Muslims

[vernal magnet]

so then you waited to play huh? like i said?

[soft ice]

Milsims

[vernal magnet]

bro checkmate lmao

[soft ice]

What?

[ebon plover]

wat

[soft ice]

Milsims

[vernal magnet]

what relevance does SOC have being low spec in 2021?

[soft ice]

I said

[vernal magnet]

stalker 2 is trash spec in 2033 cant wait to see ya there lol

[soft ice]

Its not hard to run on todays laptops

[ebon plover]

SOC was probably very high spec amazingly wow for it's time

[soft ice]

That would be funny asf if they released an SoC level game tho

[vernal magnet]

SOC was not possible on 2007 laptops. whats your point?

[soft ice]

Like just soc spec

[ebon plover]

even if it probably wasnt well known

[vernal magnet]

damn bro these Ukrainians really want stalker 2 to be the same xray engine unironically

[soft ice]

It looked preyyy bad even for 2007 standards honestly

I hate the X-ray engine

I hate it

[vernal magnet]

looked amazing then, aged well now

[soft ice]

Outdated a#bs

[ebon plover]

UE5 is gooooood tho

[soft ice]

It looked amazing by 2004 standards

[ebon plover]

yeah aged well just not the gun models

but it's fine

[vernal magnet]

people still be posting screenshots of original trilogy with great visuals.

[soft ice]

But it ganged so much 2000-2010

[dire dagger]

I mean building a game on the xray engine would not go over well in 2022

[soft ice]

It’s funny because there so much easier to run than ankmaly

[vernal magnet]

bro your either a clown or your just trolling or someone pissed in your cereal this morning

[soft ice]

But run to much better

[ebon plover]

ok you have a potato

gotcha

[soft ice]

Ankmaly still looks like outdated bs even with a thousand mods running on a 3080ti

[vernal magnet]

whats your PC specs dog

[soft ice]

Idk why ankmaly runs so bad tbh it looks like terrible

My pc specs? Terrible

[knotty sedge]

Wtf are you on

[ebon plover]

a rtx potassium and a Gala apple 2500

[vernal magnet]

gotcha found the guy who doesnt understand game engines

[soft ice]

Yes it does? I’m not gonna pretend it looks even close to modern standards at all

[soft ice]

Original trilogy doesn’t look bad

Run bad I mean

[vernal magnet]

you try taking the Duke Nukem build3d engine and mod it to look as good as stalker and run good. ill wait. go ahead

[ebon plover]

anomaly with mods is very modern standards

wat

[soft ice]

Nahhh

Anomaly wiyh mods looks like a 2009 game modded tk try and look modern

[vernal magnet]

this dude is trippin

[ebon plover]

how old are you @soft ice ?

[soft ice]

It can look pretty, but it runs like shir for the way it looks and it doesn’t look that good

[ebon plover]

he's proably 12

[vernal magnet]

this dude hands down under 18

[ebon plover]

yea

[vernal magnet]

13-16

[dire dagger]

im excited for stalker with rtx

[soft ice]

Like just considering how anomaly looks it should be running a lot better

[dire dagger]

idk about you lads

[soft ice]

Don’t you think?

[ebon plover]

yesss

[vernal magnet]

dabs you up my man

[ebon plover]

oh no not a dab

I,m out

[dire dagger]

Like i mean the game isn't a fast pace multi player shooter

[soft ice]

United States should give israel more money

[vernal magnet]

no dabbing someone up is old school. its like a closed fist bump

[dire dagger]

it doesn't have to run at 200 fps to be playable

lol

[vernal magnet]

you youngins my god

[dire dagger]

at 4k

[ebon plover]

ahh I can respect that then

[vernal magnet]

you take a stab at explaining to that guy lol

[dire dagger]

a shooter like stalker is to be immersive

[vernal magnet]

dude is a concrete wall

[dire dagger]

so it's about the graphics and the story

id never describe stalkers gun play as "excellent"

[soft ice]

I don’t like playing a game below 60 fps do you understand that? I played SoC at 25 fps and I enjoyed it but I still don’t like playing games below 60 fps and I think that’s acceptable

[dire dagger]

but it was not terrible

[soft ice]

Gunslinger is resllt fire tho I love gunslinger

Really

[ebon plover]

hmm gunplay is going ot be important for me though, and if nothing mods will help achieve that

[soft ice]

Im sure it’s gonna be good

[dire dagger]

i mean stalkers gun play was not bad

it was just not spectacular

[soft ice]

If it’s gunslinger level it’s good, gunslinger is actually really good even by modern standards

[ebon plover]

trailer wasnt very good gunplay wise tho

[soft ice]

Better than a lot of games now

[vernal magnet]

points to low settings on minimum or greater PC

[dire dagger]

didn't look very finished

if you ask me

[soft ice]

I cant wait to play lost alpha gunslinger

[soft ice]

What?

[ebon plover]

exactly

[vernal magnet]

you said you wanted 60 FPS

[soft ice]

That part of the trailer was scripted and pre programmed

[vernal magnet]

gave you the answer lol

[dire dagger]

also did you notice how none of the enemies ever shoot at skif

[soft ice]

You know

The ai wasn’t actual ai from the game

It was just programmed for that

[ebon plover]

they shoot but no damage lol

[dire dagger]

nah they don't even shoot at him

[soft ice]

Listen to me

[dire dagger]

they shoot around him

[vernal magnet]

E3 God mode presentation. tale as old as time

[dire dagger]

it's very obvious they do

[soft ice]

It was programmed specially for that

[vernal magnet]

that whole trailer was scripted

[soft ice]

It wasn’t an actual gameplay sample

[dire dagger]

oh im sure

[vernal magnet]

thats fine though. who cares if it was scripted lol

[dire dagger]

i mean some of the screen shots

might be the real game

[vernal magnet]

its a trailer

[ebon plover]

it was still gameplay footage lol

[dire dagger]

but we can only hope

[soft ice]

So stalker 2 ai isn’t actually going to be like that

[dire dagger]

well duh

[vernal magnet]

yea exactly still ingame in engine

[dire dagger]

i sure hope the ai in stalker 2 isn't storm trooper ai

[vernal magnet]

of course not

[ebon plover]

hope it's going ot be horror 😄

well just enough horror elements

[vernal magnet]

facts

[soft ice]

The only scary thing is gonna be the fps

[dire dagger]

i hope it gets as spooky as metro exodus was for me

the first few times playing

[ebon plover]

sigh

[soft ice]

The scariest thing is the gpu prices

[dire dagger]

gpu prices are what they are

[ebon plover]

yeah I gotta replay metro exodus, I'm just finishing my second playthrough of anomaly first doe

[soft ice]

Im playing 2033

[vernal magnet]

Its almost like you dont know what Resolution Scaling does

[soft ice]

Yeah I literally don’t

[dire dagger]

exodus is an extremely beautiful game with rtx

[ebon plover]

sadge I didn,t play with rtx yet

one day

[vernal magnet]

then stop complaining about FPS lol

[dire dagger]

the super edition

or what ever its called

it looks so good

[soft ice]

Like how I turn my resolution down in games to get more fps? Yeah I know what that is? I do that

[dire dagger]

you crank all the details to max

[vernal magnet]

well no, its Upscaling

[dire dagger]

and enable dlss

id turn down settings

but lower resolution ?

[vernal magnet]

also they literally have 3rd party mouse and keyboard options for xbox dont they?

[dire dagger]

no idea

last console i bought was the nintendo switch lol

[soft ice]

Stop telling me to buy an Xbox

[vernal magnet]

this sounds like an under 18, no money, console is the only option sounding problem to me though lol

[dire dagger]

what even is the argument here

im totally lost

[ebon plover]

he hates that he wont be able to play max graphics stalker 2

pretyt much

[soft ice]

I literally just said that stalker 2 should be more accessible because you should’ve have to spend literally thousands to play a video game. That’s all I said and I think it’s reasonable

[ebon plover]

cries about it

[vernal magnet]

this guy thinks GSC sucks and that they should learn a lesson for making a game that apparently has such a high barrier of entry

[dire dagger]

well yah buy a 3090

[knotty sedge]

But GSC does suck

[ebon plover]

yeah but minimum is gonna be playable like on what

[vernal magnet]

you literally said they should learn their lesson lmao

[dire dagger]

if you want max settings

lmfao

[ebon plover]

a 150ti or 1060 ?

[vernal magnet]

like imagine having specs below a 1060

sorry dont care lol

[soft ice]

Yeah I hope they do learn there lesson when nobody can run thier game

Let’s see I guess

[dire dagger]

the 1060 is the most used gpu on steam

lmfao

[ebon plover]

yeah

[vernal magnet]

steam stats would argue that friendo. only one under a 1060 here is you

[soft ice]

1060 is minimum specs right?

[ashen axle]

IcyyTrollface#0223 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dire dagger]

it makes the most sense

[soft ice]

So not even enough to get 60 fps?

[dire dagger]

who knows what the base line is

minimum spec does not have a standard method of measurement

but i doubt it will be less then 60 fps

[vernal magnet]

even consoles show us sometimes that 30FPS is the minimum anyway with Dying Light 2 for example. if you want more than you gotta pay more. not hard to understand and not a problem for GSC

[dire dagger]

my guess is the game will be playable on a 1060

at 60 fps low settings 1080p

worse case you take it down to 720p

[vernal magnet]

exactly

900p possibly

[dire dagger]

yah

[vernal magnet]

resolution is going to cost you

[dire dagger]

for sure

i doubt the game will even be playable on a sub 6gb gpu

with out using like 50 percent of 1080p

lol

[vernal magnet]

i only argue no because its UE5 and we have seen how well asset streaming works

if it was any other engine, id agree

[soft ice]

30fps sucks

[vernal magnet]

agreed

[soft ice]

I hate playing games at 30fps

I like at least 50

Preferable 60

[dire dagger]

i mean ill play an rpg at 30 fps

or a hack and slash

[soft ice]

Like my biggest problem wiyn anomaly is that I can’t get 60 fps

It sucks

[vernal magnet]

agreed

[vernal magnet]

its a mod dude

[soft ice]

Actually I probably have bigger problems with anomaly

You don’t like anomaly either

[dire dagger]

well anomaly is a heavy modified version of a game that already is not very stable or well optimized

[vernal magnet]

program it yourself if you dont like it and find out how hard it actually is

[dire dagger]

well

actually it is very well optimized

it can run on a Pentium 4

lmfao

[vernal magnet]

xray engine has its roots in quake 1

[soft ice]

It’s worse optimized than the original games by a lot

And by most other mods

Worse than coc

I hate it when people say it’s the most optimized mod because it’s obviously not

[vernal magnet]

yea because of the high graphic settings. otherwise it runs just fine on potatos

[dire dagger]

https://gyazo.com/5ef0f55c9ddc9d843c5557365666fd09

like bruh

[vernal magnet]

bruh

BRUH

[dire dagger]

a radeon 9600?

[soft ice]

Nah even on low settings it runs bad, unlike for example absolute nature which looks fire and runs at 60 fps consistant

[dire dagger]

a xp 2200+

[vernal magnet]

can you run Half Life 2 bro? like are you good? we concerned for you at this point

[dire dagger]

when this game came out

that was a total potato

the core 2 deo

the first i7

was around when cop came out

lol

[vernal magnet]

i had my 1080ti for like, 5 years....

[dire dagger]

1080 ti was killer

[soft ice]

You know what requires no minimum specs? HOES

[dire dagger]

that joke

was so amazing

i might just die

[vernal magnet]

except hoes go after high value dudes with money lmao

[dire dagger]

true true

[soft ice]

Why no girl like me with my clearly expensive rtx 3080ti…

[vernal magnet]

those minimum requirements might be higher than stalker 2 dependin how you look buddy lol

[dire dagger]

your complaining about specs

and you have a 3080 ti

[soft ice]

Yeah

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/head-scratcher-confused-perplexed-huh-clash-with-cam-gif-10198268

[soft ice]

I do have a 3080ti

[dire dagger]

and i have a 3090

[soft ice]

That’s definitely something I have for sure

[knotty sedge]

[vernal magnet]

yall are on beat street

i have a 4080

[dire dagger]

BRUH

[vernal magnet]

[soft ice]

I have a 6000

[dire dagger]

whats the spec like

[soft ice]

And a i10

[vernal magnet]

[soft ice]

100 gb ram

[dire dagger]

i mean you can easily get 100 gbs of ram

[vernal magnet]

damn bruh save some cores for the rest of us

[dire dagger]

you can get 100gbs of ram in 4 slots these days

lol

[vernal magnet]

got me acting up i might have to complain about not getting 60fps in Stalker 3 with my 3070

[dire dagger]

i might have to burst into tears that i can't run the game at 4k ultra settings at 200 fps

on my 12900k and rtx 4090

[soft ice]

You can have my extra core, 10 gb of my extra ram and a extra 20 from my 6000 (I only have 5980 now)

[vernal magnet]

you mean i cant get 4k 144FPS for 180 dollars? man F GSC

[dire dagger]

well you go down to 5970 and thats a real card

lol

[dire dagger]

ikr bro wtf

[soft ice]

Alright then you can have 30

[dire dagger]

@soft ice this is your gpu now

[vernal magnet]

i dont mean to sound like i eat caviar everyday here fellas but ill let you in on a secret

i prefer 90fps

60 honestly doesnt do it for me

[soft ice]

I cant send pictures so

I don’t notice the different between anything over 60

[vernal magnet]

my god would you just look at that cooler artwork

[soft ice]

I’ve never really played a game at over like 70

[vernal magnet]

they sure dont make them like they used too

[dire dagger]

i have a matching pair of those btw

lol

ive tried to get a game to work with 2 of them

but no luck lol

only game i got to scale at all was stalker

[vernal magnet]

i remember that chick in a tech demo i think lol

[dire dagger]

and even then i never got more then 60 percent usage

a lot of games support 2 way crossfire

by very very very few support 4 way

[vernal magnet]

what an absolute unit of length on that card with what looks like an 80mm blower fan

[soft ice]

I always have my cpu at 100 percent usage, I payed for 100 percent I’m gonna use it

[vernal magnet]

jesus christ we really ran that back in the day

[dire dagger]

it has a 300 watt cooling capacity

it's an overclocking beast

the asus version of that card

[vernal magnet]

thats 50watt shy of a 3080.....

might need a pair of those coolers for it

[dire dagger]

can run at over 1ghz

on both cores

[soft ice]

Yo blindside isn’t bad

Not really gunslinger level tho

[vernal magnet]

blindside animations are godly though

my dude chris is a beast

[dire dagger]

i have 2 motherboards i want to try and get to play stalker 2

[soft ice]

It makes me kinda want to play anomaly

My problem wiyn anomaly is it runs like sh*t and it’s not fun to play

Kinda a shame so many good modding resource were put into it

[mystic anchor]

My dream for a future stalker (or metro) title is for NPCs to complain when you shine your flashlight in their face

[vernal magnet]

have you tried turning the settings down?

[soft ice]

I mean I run it at dx8

I tried dx9 for a while

I got like 20 fps on dx9

Dx8 I get like 45 which is pretty bad

[dire dagger]

30 series has garbage dx8 support

[vernal magnet]

what in gods name are you playing on?

a smart fridge?

[soft ice]

Not a gaming laptop I’ll tell you that

[dire dagger]

my mans cpu must be a celeron

[soft ice]

But I run absolute nature gunslinger fine

60 fps consistant at higher settings and the game looks pretty

[vernal magnet]

this honestly explains so much

well not that line

but the DX8 45fps

that...is a loaded statement

[soft ice]

It’s a struggle yeah

[vernal magnet]

im sorry man, that is rough

[soft ice]

Haha it’s ok

[vernal magnet]

ok all jokes aside

are you like opposed to piecing a machine together?

[dire dagger]

i have gpus from 2003 that probably have better dx8 support then modern 30 series

[soft ice]

I don’t really understand why ankmaly runs so bad though? Like on a technical level it doesn’t seem to be doing anything that cop doesn’t do

[vernal magnet]

MGS1 PC port flashbacks

[soft ice]

Like building a pc? I don’t know that much about tevbicak stuff honestly. I’ve thought about it but just like generally I don’t play video games enough o justify upgrading

I mean like, I would be spending hundreds if not over a thousand and for what? Just to play stalker anomaly?

[vernal magnet]

try thinking of it like this, building a PC is a great skill to learn no matter what, and you can take pride in understanding how yours is put together and how it works.

[soft ice]

Yeah you’re right

Maybe I should look into it

[dire dagger]

me who has built like 20 pcs

[soft ice]

But I don’t play video games that much is all

[vernal magnet]

you might end up having alot of fun building it honestly

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/bromance-sig-curtis-alex-louis-armstrong-fullmetal-fma-gif-18194534

[soft ice]

Yeah

I honestly just play phantom forces and stalker lmao

[dire dagger]

i still have more fun building vintage pcs then modern ones

building modern pcs is just so much more annoying

[vernal magnet]

when i was young i had to figure out how computers worked to get my games to run. i used DOS, we didnt have windows yet

nowadays i work in IT

games led to a career is all im sayinhg

[soft ice]

Thats cool

[dire dagger]

@vernal magnet and working in ITi bet you get to handle parts with price tags in the several thousands of dollars lol

cough cough 96 core amd eypc cpus

[vernal magnet]

its always fun to build what isnt yours lol

[dire dagger]

id love to get to do that tbh

getting to slot in like 20 memory sticks into one board

would be so insanely satisfying lol

best i have is a board with 12 memory slots

and 6 memory channels

[vernal magnet]

i dont tend to work with that level of scale but one thing i love is the cold air in a server room man

so damn cozy

[dire dagger]

id love that yah

[soft ice]

https://youtu.be/f53PvdkVbQ8

[dire dagger]

i would have an excuse to wear my 3dfx jacket

haha

[soft ice]

Is this the current ak blindside?

[vernal magnet]

thats the hardest flex in IT lol

[soft ice]

I was looking at the asval ones and stuff and thinking it’s pretty cool

[dire dagger]

it's real too

it's from a german electronics show in 1999

[soft ice]

But this doesn’t look as good? It’s a old video thoigh

[vernal magnet]

yea Chris does quality work

[soft ice]

Yeah

[vernal magnet]

his mods are pretty up to date

probably just an old video

[dire dagger]

@vernal magnet this is my most bad ass board

[vernal magnet]

yea boiii. i sold my z97 FTW3 and it was a beast

[dire dagger]

thats the evga sr-2

[vernal magnet]

EVGA makes good boards

[dire dagger]

it doesn't have a z chipset

[vernal magnet]

people sleep on them alot

[dire dagger]

evga and asus are my boys

[vernal magnet]

i mean, i did switch back to ASUS. but EVGA was a good ride

[dire dagger]

that board can out perform a 9900k

so it's pretty god damn cool

12 cores 24 threads 48gbs of memory

7 pcie 16x slots

supports quad sli

[vernal magnet]

is that whiskey or scotch?

[dire dagger]

neither

[vernal magnet]

no wait

[dire dagger]

it's tea

[vernal magnet]

Apple juice

[dire dagger]

haha

[vernal magnet]

damn

apple juice is the move though

crispy as ice cold

[dire dagger]

im a prolific tea drinker

haha

[vernal magnet]

im a sweet tea fiend

[dire dagger]

ive come to love straight tea

no sugar

[vernal magnet]

i go for green tea sometimes

[dire dagger]

took me a while though

you gotta grow into the taste

[vernal magnet]

no forget all that the sugar is so good and we dont wanna live forever lol

[dire dagger]

i gotta live forever

i gotta see 2100

id be 98

but i wanna see it

but likely the world will end before then

so

;/

[vernal magnet]

right before i die

half life 3 announced

[dire dagger]

as long i meet some good lads

have a good time

before we are all atomized

ill be happy

[vernal magnet]

its all GG after 12-8-22

once we get that sweet sweet sequel

[dire dagger]

aye

if i get to play slalker 2 and it's good

ill be happy

then i can be sent to die on foreign shores

and ill be able to do it with a smile on my face

[vernal magnet]

or live in the woods

survival mode: on

[soft ice]

Wait was anomaly 1.6 announced?

[dire dagger]

i like to pretend anomaly is not real

i am content with my ignorance

[vernal magnet]

anomaly is hit and miss

its great when its good and its awful

[soft ice]

I literally can barely force myself to have fun in it. Such a shame it’s the face of stalker now

Retarded developers I hate them. Why did they have to do this? Retards

[dire dagger]

i still feel like anomaly is technically illegal

but maybe im missing something

[soft ice]

Yeah it’s a Brazilian asset flip game

[dire dagger]

i mean it'

s

free

meaning gsc makes no profit from it

it's not a mod for a game that you already own

[vernal magnet]

i mean not really, you gotta realize theres a whole core audience of this game from 2007 onward such as myself who saw the sequel as something that was going to bring in a mountain of newcomers totally oblivious to the original games.

[dire dagger]

it's a free game

[soft ice]

It‘s not really legal to redistribute asset and code made by gsc for free but gsc allows it

[soft ice]

Huh?

That’s what anomaly does

Less stalker 2

[vernal magnet]

so whats the difference?

[soft ice]

Anomaly has that affect more than stalker 2 does

[vernal magnet]

there is no "face of stalker" if its not stalker

ultimately

[vernal magnet]

no way

[soft ice]

They just play anomaly and that’s all they experience

[soft ice]

I’ve heard of more people discovering it through anomaly than stalker 2

[vernal magnet]

who is "they?", i want you to think of stalker on a global scale. most people play on console. stalker 2 is the first console release of a stalker game ever

[soft ice]

All because inbred ass developers wanted to ruin stalker

[vernal magnet]

stalker 2 is going to open the franchise to a wider audience than any single mod ever has or ever will

[soft ice]

I mean the annoying milsim tarkov players who come in hordes since YouTubers started to make anomaly vidoes

[soft ice]

I hope so

[vernal magnet]

how many people watched E3 and asked themselves "what is stalker?"

[soft ice]

I hope it over shadows anomaly

[vernal magnet]

anomaly is just going to be old news when stalker 2 comes out (if its amazing)

except for those who have older hardware or just still go back from time to time

[soft ice]

Damn that sounds so good

[vernal magnet]

except you know what the truth is

[soft ice]

I cant wait for the inbred retarded anomaly soys useless and waste of time work to be over shadowed forever by better stuff

[vernal magnet]

Anomaly will get updated in the new engine

along with many other mods

[dire dagger]

im gonna do nothing but play that game

from dawn till dusk

from 6am

to 12am

[soft ice]

Wdym updated?

[vernal magnet]

i feel you

[soft ice]

It’s not like you can just update something to ue5 and why would you do that

Idk

[soft ice]

Yeah Fr

[vernal magnet]

you think people arent going to want an open sandbox when stalker 2 hits?

[soft ice]

Isn’t Stalker 2 sandbox?
