[upbeat coral]

I meant its small

hehe

[blazing lichen]

god damn now that is nice haha

i need to grab these

[upbeat coral]

its half the size of Lelops collection

[blazing lichen]

😳

[upbeat coral]

400 gigabytes...

[blazing lichen]

holy shit haha

[upbeat coral]

split across two drives

[blazing lichen]

thats bigger then my skyrim modpack 💀

the left is cotz?

feels grungier

decrepit

[blazing lichen]

ayo is there a fast way to send me all these?

[upbeat coral]

I have some mods on SSD (mainly those with big maps because my old HDD just wont load them)
Those take up roughly 130GB
But theres also unpacked AtmosFear, Absolute Nature and Absolute Structures so actual filesize of just story mods is smaller
and on my HDD its 356GB

[blazing lichen]

mine looks like this

the mugging is based

[blazing lichen]

i need an HDD for this

i want all the stalker content

i took the CoP ui mod lol

i got mugged once i was like ???

i wish there was mugging in stalker 2

i wish WE could mug haha

be like AYO

[upbeat coral]

you should play Return to the Zone
you dont get mugged
mercs will straight up abduct you

[blazing lichen]

😳

i HATE low grass render distances

idk what it is but it irks me

i need density like this or more

[loud breach]

me too but NPCs shooting through grass when you can't see them is also annoying

[blazing lichen]

true that also sucks ass lol

there is deff a fine balance if they cant see me in all the grass it wouldnt be so bad imo

this takes me back honestly

man i wish Dr.X didnt die

naw i get that tbh

it looks more like it needs a tweak vs bad

yeah something looks off and i like the sounds of that

[upbeat coral]

ngl I like these visuals

just wish the transitions between textures werent so rough

[blazing lichen]

fr wish it was smoothed out more

[upbeat coral]

yeah

thats what we got for using CrommCruacs mods

[blazing lichen]

ayo lol

pic of my cotz

💀

ayo is return to the zone a sequel to road to the north ? @upbeat coral

[upbeat coral]

no

[blazing lichen]

yeah thats super strange

[upbeat coral]

its spinoff to Goldsphere

[blazing lichen]

ah fair

cotz is honestly unique haha

comfy af

[upbeat coral]

CotZ is very unique
you dont see a good freeplay mod every day

[blazing lichen]

i love it so much its honestly spoiled me

even iwp cotz isnt as good

god this is PEAK

fr it feels clunky? idk seems restrictive

why cant we run and reload

it feels ALOT harder aswell

i had to go to vet

ive been playing cotz standalone on master for who knows how long and it just feels better balanced

im in the hobo phase of iwp cotz and it feels like gamma at times tbh

i get what you mean

i love the desolation feel

[upbeat coral]

I wish for buildo bridge

best bridge

[blazing lichen]

me when i see freedom 😼

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

god this is PEAK

[upbeat coral]

heres from build 1114
later builds would have the middle part broken off and lying on ground

[blazing lichen]

oh jeez

new road

[upbeat coral]

you would pass through the fallen part when going to talk to Kuznetsov or whatever his bildo equivalent is called

bildo Cordon was generally more vertical
with more cliffs and hills and stuff

and elements from it can be found in mods to this day
the watch tower at the bridge is present in Secrets of Cordon version of the map

[blazing lichen]

AYO there's been times I've gotten ROCKED by mfs hiding in the shadows

Enemies can and do sneak up on you aswell lol

Fuck now I'm torn between going back to standalone cotz and pausing iwp cotz

I think I'm on day 28 of my standalone cotz run

Fr that's dark as hell

It's so good lol

Monolith are some sneaky MFs esp up north they will go out of their way to flank you

If things get silent turn around

Was fighting a squad of 4 I took my eyes off of one of them and they flanked to the side of me and tossed a grenade

[upbeat coral]

still find it crazy how many artifacts The Exception has

heres without background

now this

is kino

[blazing lichen]

God damn that's alot

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

PEAK

[upbeat coral]

73 unique ones

[blazing lichen]

That settles it I'm finishing my standalone cotz run

[upbeat coral]

that is artifacts you can only get once in the mod

[blazing lichen]

Is expedition standalone? Or is it a part of a story collection ?

[upbeat coral]

Exception

its a single mod, no series

[blazing lichen]

Oops sorry lol

[upbeat coral]

needs to be installed on top of CoP tho

[blazing lichen]

Hmm I'm gonna have to buy cop on gog

[upbeat coral]

genuenly has the most fun exploration Ive seen in a mod

holy silent hill

[blazing lichen]

I love these

[upbeat coral]

DocX is Kojima confirmed

[blazing lichen]

God why did it have be X and not anomaly/custom and gamma devs instead

😡

[upbeat coral]

I would leave it at "why did it have to be X"

[blazing lichen]

I joke I don't wish folks to die

It's just always the good ones go and we get left with slop

[upbeat coral]

you know who doesnt joke tho?

mutants

cuz I killed them

heres all the parts

[blazing lichen]

Based af

👑

Is that a bat?

[upbeat coral]

yes

they fly at night instead of crows

[blazing lichen]

I wish freeplay mods were more then just gun porn

[upbeat coral]

oh theres a lot of that in Exception

[blazing lichen]

This is almost the perfect amount

Glad you adjusted I found it pretty fast aswell

I went from gamma level graphics to cotz took a little but now I prefer it

[upbeat coral]

ehh

Id say perfect amount is 40-50

the closer to 40 the better

[blazing lichen]

i liked the amount in the trilogy

[upbeat coral]

thats 34 ish guns

Exception has 37 pistols

just pistols...

[blazing lichen]

holy lol

[upbeat coral]

Ive used like 2

immidiately switched to SMG and then a short rifle

[blazing lichen]

💀

alot of pistols only make sense is if there is a fast TTK and they are just as viable

but like pistols are kinda eh

[upbeat coral]

if pistol is something you throw in third slot and can wwhip up in under a second then its good

otherwise its just a burden

[blazing lichen]

fr i only use pistols for like if i am artifact hunting with detector out

got a rifle for people and a shotgun for mutants

[upbeat coral]

pistols would only be useful if headlamps only came with helmets and you had a separate handheld flashlight
which is an idea I kinda hate ngl

[blazing lichen]

and that souless gray filter lol

well not gray persay but washed out and feels bleak

i am glad GSC didnt ride the gamma train

Idk why the modscene likes dirty and bleak while the trilogy was colorful as hell

[neat dune]

zachary57. has been banned

Reason: porn bot

[blazing lichen]

Imagine being that much of a retard to click shit like that and losing your account lol

Guys I'm gonna click random discord porn links 💀

[upbeat coral]

Thats just how eastern bloc countries look
They are all grey
Just like mexico is all yellow

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

Not mods
Just misery and its poopy forks

[blazing lichen]

Oh true

[upbeat coral]

Altho I kinda like the autumn visuals of Call of Misery

Or at least in Road to the North it looked nice

[blazing lichen]

I wonder why they ditched it

[upbeat coral]

In some maps

[upbeat coral]

Cuz they hate fun

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

God I want Zaton where all buildings are acessible

But that would require new models and shit

[blazing lichen]

Is there a way to port soc ui to standalone cotz ? And fr I'd love to fully explore zanton

[upbeat coral]

Yes

Porting UI isnt hard

[blazing lichen]

Just rip files?

[upbeat coral]

Pretty much

[blazing lichen]

I wanna fully explore limansk

[upbeat coral]

That would require so many new models

MLR did pretty cool thing with Limansk where they let you explore bunch of new spots

No new buildings tho

[rich gate]

interesting name

[blazing lichen]

ill take a peak

[blazing lichen]

fr lol what mod is this

i dont really recognize that ui font and look

[rich gate]

Anomaly, I just found a pretty neat UI mod

anyway, I said the A word so

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[loud breach]

is there a mod that puts SoC on CoP engine?

or something similar

[blazing lichen]

there is radiophobia 3

@upbeat coral may know of other SoC ports

[upbeat coral]

Just download OGSR engine

If you meant you want stability and other improvements Xray 1.6 has over 1.0

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/ogsr-mod-repack-from-serega-lus-with-english-patch this one ?

[upbeat coral]

No no

Thats OGSR mod

[blazing lichen]

oh

[upbeat coral]

https://github.com/OGSR/OGSR-Engine

[blazing lichen]

sorry im stll learning all this stuff

[blazing lichen]

@sick sandgreat swamp at sunset is such a vibe

[rich gate]

chillin with Sin

honestly Sin was an interesting concept, I wonder what else GSC was thinking of doing with them before cutting them out

because most of the mods with sin are likely not even accurate to GSC's imagination since the info on Sin is so lackluster and vague

[upbeat coral]

OLR is somewhat accurate

Rest is just fanfictions

And not even good ones

[rich gate]

Lost Alpha seemed neat

with them

[upbeat coral]

And LTTZ/A word Sin...

Thats not even Sin

[rich gate]

they were apparently just mutants from x labs but were mistreated as hostile dark stalkers

[upbeat coral]

Concept was good but the execution and tasks were dogshit

Their last good task was the one at Cordon

[rich gate]

Honestly, I like the concept of Dark Stalkers

[upbeat coral]

Sin ≠ Dark Stalker

[rich gate]

no?

I thought that was the concept

huh

either way, they were still cool

what was that uh...

freeplay mod that adds Cut factions like Sin and Black Slugs?

I forgot the name of it, played it before

[upbeat coral]

Legend Returns

[rich gate]

oh yeah that

I liked how you could fight alongside mutants

[upbeat coral]

Honestly I like the concept of mutliple large bandit gangs a lot

Id rather see that rather than some Sin or Dark Stalker shit

[rich gate]

Honestly it makes a lot of sense

different gangs and such

if only they had different names

you'd see multiple criminal gangs go to the Zone for similar reasons

[upbeat coral]

They do

Bandits and Renegades

Hehe

[rich gate]

lol

we should of had more

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
I would love to
Having Borovs Gang, Sultans Gang, Renegades, Black Slugs...

One can only dream

[rich gate]

one thing I hate about Anomaly

Sin is done dirty there

instead they are just little Monolith

anyway, cat

[upbeat coral]

I wouldnt even call them Sin

Its just Monolith

But edgy

And lame

[rich gate]

fr

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

Sin seemed so interesting

I hate how dirty they did them

[upbeat coral]

Like
Ohhh look at me
I worship the zone and wear black coat
Im so deep

[rich gate]

they would of made them different, maybe its own storyline too like with ISG

maybe actually compete with Monolith for control of the Zone

make them more interesting

but nah, they just exist with no purpose

[upbeat coral]

ISG doesnt make much sense either ngl

[rich gate]

they dont, but its kinda cool that they have the story

[upbeat coral]

Ehh

[rich gate]

I like Anomaly, but I also know how flawed it is

[upbeat coral]

Story is a strong word for knockoff CoC main quest

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

yeah lol, but still it has something

[upbeat coral]

This A word rule is starting to pay off

[rich gate]

Sin has nothing

like, zero

[upbeat coral]

Thats why Legend Returns is so much better

[rich gate]

without trader overhaul you have to increase goodwill with monolith to even get their better gear

[upbeat coral]

Each faction has some kind of story

[rich gate]

yeah, I like the concept of killing every faction leader as Sin lol

[upbeat coral]

So based

[blazing lichen]

i cant wait for 0.9.3 release for LR

[upbeat coral]

You mean 1.0

[blazing lichen]

ong

haha

[rich gate]

I wont mind a full update of LR

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral wanna see something horrific

[rich gate]

it was pretty cool

I had so much fun as Sin

[upbeat coral]

Sure

Why not

[rich gate]

Yikes

[upbeat coral]

Eh

[blazing lichen]

lol

[upbeat coral]

Ive seen worse

[rich gate]

I like it, quite a lot

[blazing lichen]

true

[rich gate]

but even I dont think its perfect

[blazing lichen]

drewski stuff

i think the perfect stalker game is soc

cs right behind it

[rich gate]

the story was peak

funny amnesia man

I love Strelok

[upbeat coral]

Fuсkers dug up one of my favourite story mods out of its game to call it "new immersive story mod"
Fuсks sake the mod is older than half of their fanbase

[rich gate]

he was an interesting guy

[upbeat coral]

This cat cant display my anger

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

My honest review on Anomaly? Good mod, but deffo not perfect

still flawed

[upbeat coral]

Shit mod

Play CotZ or something

[rich gate]

or just play old world addon ON Anomaly

[upbeat coral]

Oh yeah
OWA gud

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

it makes it better with the engine improvements

[blazing lichen]

COTZ is so damn good

i love it

(not iwp cotz)

[rich gate]

ngl COTZ was a good nostalgia trip, but it wouldnt be something id play all the time

blast from the past with CoC

[upbeat coral]

@blazing lichen rename yourself to Catmaster Kotus Lupercat

NOW

[rich gate]

I remember playing CoC when I was a little Aliwer

[blazing lichen]

better then anomaly

ong

[rich gate]

I guess you could be right on that lol

[upbeat coral]

Apocalipsis is better mod than Anomaly

[blazing lichen]

naw but fr we all have preferences

[rich gate]

yeah, we do

[upbeat coral]

And Apocalipsis fuсking SUCKS

[rich gate]

some like apples

some prefer oranges over them

etc

[upbeat coral]

Who tf preffera oranges over anything when tangerines exist

[rich gate]

but at least I dont praise anomaly to be the best mod in the world that should even replace trilogy

[rich gate]

lol

[blazing lichen]

true you're based for that

when i shit on the anomaly fanbase you are NOT included

you dont shit on the real games

[rich gate]

thanks brudda

[blazing lichen]

folks are either stalker fans or mod fans

you're both

[upbeat coral]

Hmm
We should bully Sir Crimson into getting cat themed 40k name

[rich gate]

although I play Mods more, I like STALKER for what it is

[blazing lichen]

yes ong

[rich gate]

although I agree that Anomaly plays different, I still got that stalker theme in it

[blazing lichen]

ive been playing mods since i beat the trilogy in may tbh

[upbeat coral]

But what could the name be

[rich gate]

still gotta finish CS and COP, but I like the trilogy

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

for what they are, yknow?

I loved SOC

[upbeat coral]

Heresy

[blazing lichen]

AYO play them rn

clear sky is PEAK

[rich gate]

I should continue trying to beat CS with only PM

[blazing lichen]

based as hell

[rich gate]

although I gotta admit it

I fell into the complete mod trap

and finished SOC with that

when I was new to the series

[upbeat coral]

Hmm
Maybe Crimson could be Lion El'Kotson

He likes Lion

[blazing lichen]

i like this

[blazing lichen]

i tried CoP with this

[upbeat coral]

I should add Complete 2009 to the bad word list

[blazing lichen]

@orchid berry its time to become "Lion El'Kotson"

[upbeat coral]

[rich gate]

lol

[modern dew]

Hi folks! Can someone please recommend me a mod for SoC that just fixes bugs and does not do any rebalancing or changing game in any other way? I tried ZRP but it seems to be breaking localization in the steam version of the game (half of the voice lines are in Russian even though I selected Ukrainian in game's properties in steam)

[upbeat coral]

Use OGSR engine

[blazing lichen]

^^^

[rich gate]

wait I thought it was just a mod, not an entire engine?

huh

[upbeat coral]

It fixes bugs tied to Xray while improving stability

Doesnt mess with gameplay

[upbeat coral]

Its a mod

But you can get just the engine

[rich gate]

oooooh

okay

anyway

[upbeat coral]

Thats the reason why so many old SoC mods have OGSR ports

[blazing lichen]

i wish i could port cotz to this

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

OGSR is exceptionally stable

[blazing lichen]

timeless look imo

[modern dew]

I'll take a look, thanks!

[rich gate]

average anomaly fan: turns stalker into some tarkov crapfest

me: likes stalker, has a few mods but does not turn it into a tarkov crapfest to make it as close to stalker as possible while playing with mods

[upbeat coral]

Im a mod cleptomaniac

I love my 500GB story mod collection

[rich gate]

lol

[blazing lichen]

based as hell

im slowly growing my mods

i just installed goldsphere

[rich gate]

mine is a little bit of tarkov with the body health system mod but otherwise I dont think I have anything tarkov-ey

[upbeat coral]

Its important to grow your mods in high quality black soil

[rich gate]

I just thought itd be realistic to hurt your body parts yknow?

[upbeat coral]

Still think Goldsphere has the best BHS implementation when it comes to faithfulness to the trilogy

[blazing lichen]

Then realism disappears when you heal

[rich gate]

TRUEEEE

[blazing lichen]

its tough to balance gameplay and realism imo

[rich gate]

breaks leg, pops a bandage and pills, somehow it comes back to normal

[blazing lichen]

i HATED gamma for this

you get lit tf up and pop some fent and your good lol

[rich gate]

I think Gamma is just an overcomplicated mess

its interesting, but I prefer to play Anomaly casually with a bit of challenge

[upbeat coral]

G word
That will be 2 cats please

[upbeat coral]

You too

[upbeat coral]

And one more for A word

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

Best rule I ever invented

[rich gate]

honestly if my PC was running STALKER 2 flawlessy id be playing it non stop over A word

[rich gate]

ong

[rich gate]

just kinda waiting on a few more fixes and I might come back to it

[blazing lichen]

i am disappointed clear sky and ecos dont have rad suits

duty, freedom, merc, loner, monolith all got radsuits

[rich gate]

thats weird, I thought all of them had it even not in A Word

cause my brain got used to it when playing too much of A word

lol

[upbeat coral]

I mean
They only appeared in CoP no?
Which means they were invented after fall of Clear Sky

[blazing lichen]

oh true yeah good point

[rich gate]

thats a good lore point yeah

[blazing lichen]

i gotta say rad suits > exos

[upbeat coral]

Best suit is SEVA

[rich gate]

I find it funny though

[blazing lichen]

also ignore im with freedom in that pic

[rich gate]

rad suits are just

[blazing lichen]

fr

[upbeat coral]

SEVA>>>>EXO

[rich gate]

Exos but without the exoskeleton

[rich gate]

honestly SEVA is based

walk around anywhere in the zone

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
Almost as based as helmetless seva

[rich gate]

without getting sick from radiation or hurt by anomaly

[rich gate]

strelok moment

[upbeat coral]

I like it for the artifact slots

[blazing lichen]

^

[rich gate]

honestly Seva just looks cool af

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[blazing lichen]

they looks based as hell

[rich gate]

I like STALKER because its unique from all the other "apocalyptic" games

ik, STALKER aint even apocalyptic

but still

[blazing lichen]

the zone is

its in a strange middle ground

[rich gate]

its got interesting lore, its got mysteries

[upbeat coral]

You dont have to say unique
You can just say better

[rich gate]

isnt it spreading?

[upbeat coral]

No

Thats Duty propaganda

[rich gate]

I fell for it... 😦

[upbeat coral]

Or
It wasnt until S2

Sircaa doing weird shit

[rich gate]

SIRCAA moment

[rich gate]

if they didnt do it Skif wouldnt be here

[orchid berry]

Heresy

Ayo Aliwer is alive

Based

[upbeat coral]

Oh come on

Crispy

[civic pewter]

Legend Returns 1.0 is the Freeplay 2

[upbeat coral]

Join us

[rich gate]

I do not die.

[upbeat coral]

Real

[rich gate]

[orchid berry]

Spoken like the real Aliwer

[rich gate]

Is it out yet?

[upbeat coral]

No

[rich gate]

I wanna play it again

DARN IT

it had a skill tree didnt it?

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[rich gate]

or something like from skyrim

with like levels

I dont remember, mind is foggy

its been years

[upbeat coral]

The perfect freeplay mod

[civic pewter]

Yes, have a skills system different of Legend Returns Addonpack

[rich gate]

I mean, I am enjoying Anomaly so far, either my own modpack or Old World Addon

[rich gate]

OWA is pretty cool though

[upbeat coral]

Anyways
Do yall preffer the Skill Tree where you choose what to level up
OR
The GTA style skills where they improve the more you do the thing

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

when it comes to stalker, id say GTA style

[upbeat coral]

Agreed

[blazing lichen]

same

[rich gate]

I got something like that already

on Anomaly at least lol

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral am i peak now ?

[blazing lichen]

bro you need to loot bodies

[rich gate]

I do, but its so slow to level up

I might need to tweak it a bit

[blazing lichen]

ah

[upbeat coral]

Not until you leave Cordon and recognize the first Roadside Picnic refference

Second one actually

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

i need to read the book

[upbeat coral]

Yes

You do

[rich gate]

honestly, Xray engine is an anomaly

it breaks, then works normally the next day

[upbeat coral]

I need to learn how to create tasks
So I can finally do something productive with the games

[civic pewter]

Call of Chernobyl X-Ray:

[rich gate]

lol

man Call of Chernobyl

[upbeat coral]

Still better than UE5
That shit has more mood swings than average Twitter user

[rich gate]

simple times

[rich gate]

explains why I dont play S2 yet

this engine makes my PC cry

[blazing lichen]

Call of chernobyl is still great imo

[upbeat coral]

Fuсk UE5

[rich gate]

the fans go so loud

[upbeat coral]

And fuсk Lumen

And AI LODs

[rich gate]

true, but kinda outdated for my tastes

[upbeat coral]

Grrr

[rich gate]

its a shame theres not many addons for it tho

[blazing lichen]

I play old and new games so outdated doesn't exist to me tbh

[rich gate]

I wish I was like you

so I can enjoy CoC or COTZ again for a long time

[blazing lichen]

You can still

[rich gate]

haha good point

[blazing lichen]

Esp after the S2 disasters imo

I'm disappointed I preordered deluxe

It's been uninstalled since like Nov 24

[rich gate]

my friend bought me ultimate as a gift for sticking up for them for many years

[blazing lichen]

I feel you 100%

[rich gate]

I called him insane but they wanted to do it for such a long time

[upbeat coral]

I HATE LUMEN

KILL LUMEN

BEHEAD LUMEN

KICK LUMEN OFF A CLIFF

DROP KICK LUMEN INTO CONCRETE WALL

SLAM DANK LUMEN INTO TRASH CAN

THROW LUMEN INTO FRUIT PUNCH

PUSH LUMEN UNDER PSEUDOGIANT

In other words

Screw Lumen

[blazing lichen]

You have an awesome friend honestly that mfs gonna be by your side until the end

[rich gate]

yeah

[blazing lichen]

Yeah fuck lumen

I bought someone morrowind so they could experience peak

[rich gate]

its crazy cause I cannot afford gifts at such price rn

but they told me not to worry about it

[upbeat coral]

I bought someone the trilogy and they ended up playing EFP

[rich gate]

still repaid them with something for christmas tho obv

[upbeat coral]

Neber again

[blazing lichen]

😭

I'd rather just play tarkov

[rich gate]

it wasnt of the same value, but they loved it

[upbeat coral]

At least one of my friends has played through the games
That I totally didnt give him offline installers to

[rich gate]

they even got me a damn picture frame of STALKER 2 boxart

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

still gotta find a place to hang it somewhere on the wall

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

Id rather jump into Whirligig

[rich gate]

when I introduced them to stalker, they went nuts

they played trilogy, not sure they finished it but they went far on SOC

[blazing lichen]

Oh no I mean if I'm gonna turn stalker into tarkov I'd rather play the og game idk why you'd wanna turn one game into another

[upbeat coral]

Cuz Tarkov bad

[blazing lichen]

Me but when I bought it I got sucked into stalker right away

[upbeat coral]

Its like adding tanks to minecraft cuz War Thunder bad

[blazing lichen]

I wish stalker 2 looked like shadow of chernobyl

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

Also
I finally got Tunguska

[rich gate]

some Serbian introduced me to it and I went nuts since

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell

[rich gate]

I got addicted to this cheeki breeki meme but the first game I played was Lost Alpha

cause I was broke kid back then

[upbeat coral]

Already shot down multiple helicopters and chinese drones that would all outrange me before

[blazing lichen]

Stalker trilogy was the first games I bought when I moved to pc March 2023

[upbeat coral]

Heresy

[rich gate]

I am sorry, lord.

[blazing lichen]

I love shooting down air mains

[rich gate]

but at least its better than idk...

Anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

A cat
NOW

[rich gate]

as my first game?

[blazing lichen]

I go out of my way to kill heli pilots

[upbeat coral]

Yes
By a long shot

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

I should reinstall warthunder

[rich gate]

I remember getting scared by throwing objects in lost alpha

only to realize it was the burer all this time

[upbeat coral]

Yes
Updates been decent lately

[blazing lichen]

Burers are intense lol

[rich gate]

I was in the underground level, I think agroprom

[blazing lichen]

I just HATE 10.3 us ground my teammates are idiots

Alot are click bait abrams owners

[upbeat coral]

Agroprom isnt underground level in Lost Alpha
Its single map

[blazing lichen]

Or 2s38 owners 😡

[rich gate]

oh

maybe it was some different underground area

I was a kid back then so I dont remember now

[upbeat coral]

I got PTSD from 2S38s and I dont even face them

[rich gate]

I was like 14 or 15 or smth

[upbeat coral]

Few days ago I shot a house because it was blocky just like 2S38

Also Ive been shooting the dump truck beds filled with trash because they look like STRV 103s from distance

War

[blazing lichen]

Goldsphere menu music goes so damn hard holy

[upbeat coral]

War never changes

[upbeat coral]

Yes

It was custom made for the mod

[blazing lichen]

Better safe then sorry

[blazing lichen]

I'm already loving this mod

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[rich gate]

I am now the NV courier

[blazing lichen]

[blazing lichen]

Lol

I'm thankful there's English translations as I don't speak Russian

[rich gate]

Gotta see Doc Mitchell

man FNV was a peak game too

[blazing lichen]

You know I need to play new vegas haven't since I moved to pc

I've only ever played console nv

[rich gate]

its pretty good

especially with mods to improve the game a little

like bugs and such

[blazing lichen]

My first experience with nv was ps3 and oh MAN was that cursed

[rich gate]

man that merc that shot me in the face

he trashed my gas mask

[rich gate]

how bad was it? I only played it on PC

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere so good you dont have to even leave the main menu to love it

No
It doesnt remove good stuff unlikE ZRP

[rich gate]

what is goldsphere about?

[blazing lichen]

making some pesto chicken so I got the menu music on rn

[upbeat coral]

About being the best mod of all time

[upbeat coral]

Based

[rich gate]

okay, so what is it about?

[upbeat coral]

Goldsphere is about Jekan (this beautiful man: ) who ventures into the Zone in search of Wish Granter (Golden Sphere in Pripyat aka first Roadside Picnic refference) to wish his life problems away
This all takes place in 2008 and the wildly different Zone slowly shifts to the way we know it as you progress and leave your impact on the maps

[rich gate]

interesting

so basically a doomer wishing

[upbeat coral]

12/10 Jekans recommend

[upbeat coral]

Duh
Jekans PDA profile picture is fuсking black and white

[blazing lichen]

pic goes hard

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

I need to try Reborn actually

just to see how silly it is

I saw some vids

clearly best mod

[blazing lichen]

i need to play all the mods tbh

[upbeat coral]

Not silly at all

Just pure peak

[upbeat coral]

The mods release at faster rate than you can play

[blazing lichen]

i need to try to peaks you mentioned

[rich gate]

I want a Strelok version of Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Just skip mods that dont get seal of approval

They not wurf it

[blazing lichen]

sounds good to me 🫡

[rich gate]

I like how Anomaly has got disapproval instead of just No lmao

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[civic pewter]

Medpribor and Agroprom-his undergrounds originally was a one level

In Shadow of Chernobyl Agroprom is in total two levels for... ¿Narrative?

[rich gate]

Meanwhile I'm playing it

[upbeat coral]

For engine limitations I guess

[blazing lichen]

i mean i played it still will play OWA and OWR but i like more purpose

[upbeat coral]

Underground is full of life and 2007 PCs would have a hard time

[upbeat coral]

Hope you mean Original Weapons Renewal by OWR

Hehe

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

Original Weapons Renewal for Anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

For CoP

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

oh right

silly me

[upbeat coral]

Didnt even know A word had such mod

[rich gate]

Me neither

also, discount SEVA

[upbeat coral]

Its a good design choice

[blazing lichen]

You're redeemed for using monopeak armor

[rich gate]

I am even playing as monopeak

[blazing lichen]

based as hell

[rich gate]

I would of played Sin if they actually had purpose and werent discount monolith

but now its either Monolith or Bandits that I like to play as the most

[blazing lichen]

that other group of dark stalkers woulda been cool to add

they are smaller i forget the name

but they were cut content for soc

[rich gate]

I thought Sin were the ones for SOC

or maybe Sin is just a fanfic of dark stalkers

[blazing lichen]

they are but there was a smaller group

[rich gate]

hmmm

strange

[blazing lichen]

lemme see if i cant find the name

it was only like 5 guys to be fair lol

[upbeat coral]

RU wiki will have them if they exist

[rich gate]

oh yeah

isnt the monolith suit just X labs armor?>

like

x labs guard staff

[upbeat coral]

Could be

[rich gate]

you can find one in one of the labs in SOC right?

[upbeat coral]

It was in X-18 but I dont think its definitive proof

[blazing lichen]

it was from anomalus dugout video hold up

[rich gate]

why would Monolith leave their suits in x-18 tho

[rich gate]

it was yeah

[upbeat coral]

I mean
Anabiotics were also in X-8 despite being supposedly invented by Ozersky

[rich gate]

but its a good theory to be fair

[rich gate]

good point actually

[blazing lichen]

they were called the dead

half zombified stalkers

https://youtu.be/P8V-HkCy3oQ?t=560

[upbeat coral]

In other words

G word players

[rich gate]

that would of been cool af

[rich gate]

lmao

[blazing lichen]

lol

[rich gate]

I guess I am half dead then

[blazing lichen]

naw you fine

[rich gate]

A word moment

lol

[blazing lichen]

you own the games and dont shit on them

[rich gate]

yeah

[blazing lichen]

you dont praise anomaly and gamma as the only real stalker

[upbeat coral]

Half zombies
Hmm
Reminds me of that professor in OGSE

[rich gate]

I praise Anomaly as a good mod, because I like it

but I know not everyone does

[rich gate]

and I am cool with that

[upbeat coral]

Yes

Everything in CS is perfect

[rich gate]

clearly GSC had best game design in mind when it comes to "bugs"

[blazing lichen]

damn AD did some digging as the english fandom wiki doesnt even have the "the dead" group on there

[rich gate]

thats why he the goat

funny French man

[blazing lichen]

fr haha

[upbeat coral]

Cuz its poopoo

Full of misinformation and lacking the interesting stuff

[blazing lichen]

whats the best wiki?

[upbeat coral]

Zone Chronicles is miles better
Even if you have to autotranslate it

[blazing lichen]

ill look there

i didnt know that existed

[rich gate]

or simply check out anomalous dugout

he has some good vids on the stuff he researches

he may not have what you want but...

he does good vids

[blazing lichen]

its good to know fandom sucks no matter the franchise lol ( for elderscrolls we use UESP and avoid fandom )

[rich gate]

hmmm

I should get the Oasis

dont have a spare container tho

shame its not as good as the one in COP

that artifact cures world hunger in COP

[upbeat coral]

Imagine needing containers

Couldnt be me

[rich gate]

fr fr

[upbeat coral]

Ngl I dont mind containers

[rich gate]

I mean, S2 added them

[upbeat coral]

But I fuсking hate modules

Uhh

[rich gate]

but they only uh

work on suit upgrades

basically, they negate the radiation from the artifacts that give it, so you dont have to use another artifact that drains radiation

[upbeat coral]

Lame

Like
Really lame

[blazing lichen]

is goldsphere on SoC engine ?

[rich gate]

they are expensive though

[upbeat coral]

On OGSE engine

[rich gate]

and only certain engineers can give that upgrade for you

[blazing lichen]

its lighting is very nice

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[rich gate]

SOC had some good lighting

[blazing lichen]

OGSE and SOC make S2 look like ass ngl

[upbeat coral]

Its still lame
Takes away that sweet feeling of creating the perfect artifact lineup

[rich gate]

I think its also only limited to a certain amount of artifact slots

like 2 slots or smth

and in return it also adds weight to the suit when you add that upgrade to it

so its a tradeoff

a big one

[upbeat coral]

Still lame

[blazing lichen]

AYO lol i thought i could be cheeky

[upbeat coral]

Hehe

[rich gate]

at least they didnt make it like in Anomaly, but yeah

I think its an interesting idea regardles tho

[upbeat coral]

Containers only make sense if artifacts irradiate you even when they arent in slot
The moment they remove radiation from artifacts in slot, its ASS

[rich gate]

its got a tradeoff though, so you gotta think about if you want your exosuit with artifact slots to be heavier or not

so no containers if you dont want your exosuit to be extra heavy lol

[upbeat coral]

Its just lame and doesnt make sense

[rich gate]

yeah...

[upbeat coral]

Some artifact have to be in physical contact with the wearers skin to work

[rich gate]

I find it funny how artifacts only emit radiation when you equip them

[upbeat coral]

Some need to even go through the skin

[rich gate]

yeah like Kolobok right?

[upbeat coral]

Yeah

[rich gate]

I find it funny how they dont emit radiation until you equip it on your belt

[upbeat coral]

Cuz they dont make contact

[rich gate]

even then, them being in your backpack

if they emit radiation, would it just... yknow

emit it like normally?

[upbeat coral]

No

[rich gate]

weird

artifacts are weird

they cool af though

they go hard

and thats what matters

if artifacts were real, id want a kolobok

it looks neat

[blazing lichen]

id want heart of oasis

[rich gate]

practically, that would be useful

youd never starve again

no more worries about groceries

[blazing lichen]

the electric ones look cool aswell

[blazing lichen]

youd be able to get ahead by skipping food lol

[rich gate]

lol

my stash by goofy

ik my UI kinda looks like Gamma, thats because its styled like that but its not GAMMA I promise you

I like the mods UI but nothing else lol

[blazing lichen]

Military are so lame "☝️🤓 erm we detained you and the police will be here soon to pick you up"

[rich gate]

lol

[blazing lichen]

Ayo that modern svt 40

[rich gate]

yeah, found it off a corpse

I am planning on getting it fixed when I am rich af

[rich gate]

its vanilla anomaly guns btw

I only added a mod that reanimates them all to be a little bit modern cause the vanilla ones are goofy af imo

none of the boomsticks and sharpsticks bs in my modpack

[rich knot]

It's so annoying when you forget about that anomaly or are not concentrating and then you run into it

[blazing lichen]

maybe after goldshpere ill give it a try

[rich knot]

Have fun

[rich gate]

it is time

[rich knot]

I tried collecting them after the first time I hit this anomaly then when I was starting collecting the items inside the Anomaly the instant I touched the anomaly it all reset again

[loud breach]

dafuq is this

[rich gate]

Finally...

[blazing lichen]

Goldsphere

[blazing lichen]

aye nice

[rich gate]

one small problem

I dont have containers

[rich gate]

sounds like a troll anomaly

[loud breach]

sounds hilarious, you had a crate in there?

[blazing lichen]

old stalker has such charm lol wonky ah shadows while running lol

[blazing lichen]

is that your body glitching out

[rich gate]

[rich knot]

That thing chews through armor

And health too

[rich gate]

[blazing lichen]

There's a house full of them lol

I first saw those in Lost Alpha back in 2012.

[blazing lichen]

Never seen these before tbh I'm enjoying goldsphere so far

[dire crow]

If you know, you know.

[dire crow]

Chymo loves Goldsphere. I think that's his favorite Mod.

[dire crow]

So there's no stamina bar?

[blazing lichen]

I can see why!

There is but its in SoC position bottom left

[blazing lichen]

almost time for insanity

[blazing lichen]

i wonder if we will ever see stalker 2 get an op 2.2

Holy kino

3 dislikes

Who would dislike this

Its perfect

Ugh

those

Grrr

[loud breach]

I'd call it Counter Stalker instead of Qualker

Because it looks like Counter Strike.

The position of the left arm, the gun moving back and forth when moving, etc.

[loud breach]

Yeah, so? Is it better to compare it to something (CS) that's more similar to it then? Or the ancestor of that something that looks much less similar (Quake)?

It looks eerily similar to Counter Strike 1.6

I just checked and Q3 had a different weapon sway, from side to side, not backwards/forwards.

The animations in the video you linked look like they were copied from CS 1.6

[loud breach]

I know that, did I ever say it isn't? I just said it's more similar to a mod called Counter Strike than to the original game called Quake 3.

[loud breach]

[blazing lichen]

Are yall a fan of mods based on soc/modified soc engines or cop/modified cop engines

I'll agree with this

I'm playing goldsphere I I swear there's like a warmth that cop version of engine doesn't have

Fr wish nights were a bit better

[atomic patrol]

Hoi!

I need some help. I used to play a lot of STALKER back in 2019, My first introduction was CoP mod, CoC

With Arsenal Overhaul mod and such.

I tried to get back into the series by playing Anomaly, I notice something.

In CoC, from what I remember, you can toggle flashlight, Geiger Counter, Binocular and such with a keybind, but in Anomaly, this only possible with O and IF you have it equiped

Is this exclusively for Anomaly? And is it possible to change it?

[upbeat coral]

Anomaly is a bad way to revisit the series

But yes
It is a feature specific to it

Handheld lamp shares slot with detector

Headlamp is still on L

We have a rule here
