[raw orchid]

@urban coral @wintry veldt I guess this dialogue of a random merc from Hogs squad confirms that Barrier was built by stalkers?

[urban coral]

Based find

In that case, the lore doesn't make sense

Raven says that it used to be held by the Military

[raw orchid]

true

1 sc

[sterile spear]

Looking at this with absolutely no context, but could it be that stalkers built it, military claimed it, then they were forced to retreat at a later time?

[wintry veldt]

I think its just a developer oversight, those are common in SoC, im suprised to see it in CS

[sterile spear]

I'm sure it'll be partially related to developer oversight but hey, mental gymnastics go brrr

[raw orchid]

speaking of Barrier

oops, wrong ss

[sterile spear]

Well it confirms the military at least held the barrier before Freedom got there

[raw orchid]

aye. then emission happened that cripped the military

@urban coral btw

why those freedomers say bandits, when Lingov was leaking info to mercs?

[sterile spear]

Interesting. The wiki on the barrier says it was made by the military which is wrong if we believe Hog's merc, everything here suggests it was built by loners but the military took it over for a period

[urban coral]

Likely cut content

[raw orchid]

Perhaps

[sterile spear]

Could've replaced bandits with mercs if they thought bandits are a bit too weak to take out freedomers

[urban coral]

Same thing with the Mercs at the Wild Territory

Replaced Freedomers

[sterile spear]

Mercs are just taking everyones villain arcs lol

[steel sapphire]

Scar is merc

[raw orchid]

this guy got no chills

[raw orchid]

@wintry veldt interestingly, Freedomers seem to worry about mutants more than Monolith

[urban coral]

Yeah, here's the mention of the Military holding the Barrier

[urban coral]

Keep an eye out for the Limansk mentions, by the way. They're interested

[steel sapphire]

How is Limansk strategically important at this time? Was it the only path North or smth with the brain scorcher active?

(Never played CS)

[urban coral]

Play it fr

[raw orchid]

I don't wanna spoil it for you sorry

[dim light]

Limansk is where all the bloodsucker femboys hang out

[sterile spear]

I mean I know the story of clear sky, minor details aren't there though

[sterile spear]

Planning on it over the summer

[raw orchid]

@urban coral @wintry veldt mercs emptying few clips on wounded Monolithians

[urban coral]

Thanks to the Emission, some areas have opened up thanks to anomalies disappearing in these areas

However, there are also places that have become unreachable due to anomalies blocking the area off

Like Rostok, for example

[raw orchid]

damn

Didn't wanted to spoil it to you @sterile spear but Crimson already did it lmfao

[urban coral]

Everyone at Rostok got trapped and basically got locked away from the rest of the Zone

[raw orchid]

anyways Crimson is right, yeah

give me few mins, I can find a dialogue about Rostok

brb guys

[sterile spear]

It's all good lol I already had a little knowledge on it. Didn't realize rostok got closed though that's interesting

[steel sapphire]

Welll

[dim light]

Is that why Rostok is so heavily populated?

[steel sapphire]

@raw orchid I wanna ask smth

[sterile spear]

For some reason I was thinking the brain scorcher covered the entire width of the Zone but remembering now that definitely ain't it

[dim light]

Because the people we're trapped inside?

[sterile spear]

Nah they had to evacuate Rostok when that happened, apparently.

[steel sapphire]

Why Im getting spoiler alert @raw orchid

[urban coral]

Here's the mention of the Zone's changes

[sterile spear]

It's populated because Duty's made it arguably the safest location in the Zone

[raw orchid]

dialogue about Rostok

apparently a lot of stalkers got trapped in there

[dim light]

Do you just keep a record of every person that you talk to?

[raw orchid]

now yes

[urban coral]

20 soldiers at the Army Warehouses

Check for yourself if that's actually true

[raw orchid]

On it

i'm at that part where you have to receive transmissions

might need some time but I'll count the bodies

@urban coral Kostyan is the only Freedomer who uses SA Avalanche, right?

[urban coral]

Yup

Not a NATO weapon, which is weird

[void kelp]

This may be about Scar, but it's not about my friend, Fandoms and headcanons seem unnecessary here…　

[raw orchid]

ok territory cleared

gonna start counting the bodies now

5 dead corpses on the bridge. these soldiers were already dead

8

10

16

[void kelp]

Don't worry, bro.
They won't show any interest in us. I think it's okay to talk freely without going overboard

i'm capturing their base again

double checking rn. last time I had 16 soldiers

including 5 dead bodies at the bridge

5 dead bodies

[sterile spear]

Damn, poor military

[raw orchid]

7

10

12

and 16

@urban coral i got 16 dead bodies once again

[urban coral]

Yep

[raw orchid]

5 already dead and other 11 got killed later

[wintry veldt]

Gub ebening yet again

Whatcha guys upto?

Aside from CS dialoge lol

[raw orchid]

counting total amount of soldiers at Army Warehouses base

both time I got 16 soldiers in total (5 were already dead)

[wintry veldt]

Why?

[raw orchid]

we are testing how accurate the numbers are in this dialogue

[urban coral]

[raw orchid]

how many soldiers were there for you? @urban coral

[wintry veldt]

Its acurrate enough i suppose, he did say "about" 20, who knows some of them probably waltzed into an anomaly by the time he got to tell you that 😛 , cool detail nontheles, like in SoC when you pick up the military map, you can find kvarter as an actual characther

[urban coral]

Forgot, it's been a while

[raw orchid]

Understandable

[sterile spear]

By estimation 16 would be "about" 20, like Susena said a couple could've abandoned their post or died too

[raw orchid]

Sounds logical

[wintry veldt]

Im gonna probably replay Clear Sky tommorow, my internet is slow and also im far to sleepy to actually enjoy the game right now xD

Ill try to remember to recount dead military at the warehouses

[void kelp]

Open DM

[raw orchid]

tell me how many soldiers will be there for you

i replayed that part twice and so far both times I only got 16 soldiers in total

[void kelp]

Ok

[neon vale]

Nuh

But tampico isnt gay

[raw orchid]

another interesting dialogue

apparently Garbage used to be peaceful in March of 2011

[sterile spear]

Hm, peaceful by Zone standards maybe

[raw orchid]

I assume by "peaceful" he meant not as Chaotic as late 2011-2012 Garbage

[sterile spear]

They got one of the mercs

[hushed condor]

We have a moment of silence for the fallen mercenary

Thank you for the moment of silence, continue on

[sterile spear]

He was a good stalker. Anyway-

[sterile spear]

Yeah definitely, nowhere in the Zone could be described as "peaceful" unless you compare it to other parts of the Zone lol

[hushed condor]

To this we drink

[hidden gazelle]

[raw orchid]

@sterile spear check this

yet another foreign expedition, mentioned by Orest

[sterile spear]

Huh, I heard about a merc or two commenting on UN activity but didn't know it came with them being kitted. I'm guessing that's where the UNISG fanfic sprung from?

[raw orchid]

Dunno where UNISG came from

trilogy has some mentions of UN but UNISG is never mentioned anywhere

[hushed condor]

There was a cut scene of scar leading ISG to the Generators from what I’ve heard

[sterile spear]

Yeah, I've heard it was a mix of those UN comments and the cut ISG team from CS

So people (and by people I mean anomaly/gamma) took those and combined them

[raw orchid]

Mods aren't canon to original trilogy

[sterile spear]

Ofc hence I said fanfiction

[raw orchid]

Mods contain cut factions like Sin that never made it to the trilogy

[hushed condor]

I also heard there was a PDA entry about a UN expedition into the Zone as well that failed miserably

[hushed condor]

I’m talking about the cut content, not mods

[raw orchid]

1 min

[valid jay]

untrue! cancelled 2019 collab between Anomaly developers and GSC codenamed Anomaly: Origins of STALKER actually had Sin faction in it!

[raw orchid]

there's PDA entry called "The chronicles of egghead globalists"

it's pretty long but I can send you just 1 part

[hushed condor]

Lemme try to find it, hang on

[sterile spear]

Wouldn't that still be considered a cut faction?

[hushed condor]

Does it mention a convoy?

[raw orchid]

mfw text is too long

There was this large expedition, you see. The scientist alone counted about thirty, people form all over the world... All stars, you know, big shots and stuff... They were all rigged out: all premium-quality gear, heaps of it. Had a whole platoon guarding them, and a couple of our guides. So they all got onto their APCs and took off. Well, what happened them? Came back about a week later... Twelve people in a wreck of an APC. They got as far as the spiker by the Rotten Forest when they fell into an ambush... The looters... Oh yeah... The bastards couldn't care less where you come from... Finished off almost everyone. Only three people managed to get out across the border line, two stalkers and one egghead. The latter went bananas from all the excitement, so they had to send him off to a nut-house. Now he's writing a book about the Zone I hear. The stalkers didn't seem that bad. Must be down to the experience, we thought. Except... I guess they also lost it in their own way: One of them took off to the radar and vanished, the other went back to the Big Place. And the rest were taken by the Zone.

Ever heard about Station Thirty-Two? That's where they all bit the bullet. It was all quiet at first, pretty much normal... They'd be reading their meters, taking samples, poking their gear into anomalies... And then they all started going nuts. Every friggin one of them. Everyone slowly going off their rocker. One of ours, the one that retired eventually, told me about it... Some actually ripped their own throats open, other would smash their heads against the wall, and some would simply... Gun in their mouth and... And then the beasts started swarming all over them. Those few who were still sane enough barricaded themselves in the house. You get the picture, right? Dark night, all the local beasties outside, and people going nuts one after another inside. In short, in the morning those who still had it together broke out of there somehow. Went straight on, even got caught in some anomalies... Got to the Rotten Forest... But none of those who had been left behind have been found. they say loads of controllers were recorded in that area. that's how it was... Since then, no one goes anywhere near Station Thirty-Two, and the foreigners steer clear of the Zone...

[hushed condor]

I mean if they’re Globalists that sounds like a UN thing

[sterile spear]

Imagine getting ganged on by a bunch of controllers and that's how you go. Silly eggheads

[hushed condor]

Or some sort of government/scientific alliance

[hushed condor]

Tushkanos hurt dude

[raw orchid]

UN isn't mentioned only there, though

there are also few mentions of UN in the trilogy, 1 min

[sterile spear]

My money's on UN, given the amount of times they've been mentioned before.

[raw orchid]

In Shadow of Chernobyl, Loners at Yantar may also mention UN in their dialogue:

"Have you seen our smartasses, the color of the United, damn it, Nations? Lately they're completely chickening out. Gotta call in the whole regiment along with the airforce for protection just to take a few steps off the base"

In Call of Pripyat, UN will be mentioned by Nimble:

"Here it is - GP37, a new-generation assault rifle. Accurate, reliable, and convenient with a built-in optical scope. It was previously owned by a UN observer. Their group was sent to the Zone to investigate. However, the situation turned for the worse..."

"Just a sec. Here's a modular FT-200M rifle, the brainchild of Belgian gunmakers. Accurate, all-purpose, handy for both righties and lefties, comes with an optical scope and a grenade launcher. I got it from some unlucky UN observers..."

[hushed condor]

Still confirms UN are in the Zone

[valid jay]

globalist in east europe was (still is) a blanket term for the west/whoever you don't like

[raw orchid]

and of course, this

[hushed condor]

Oh mb

[sterile spear]

Yk if ecologists were as geared as their lore makes them out to be they'd be a pretty sweet faction. Instead we get wannabe teletubbies for like 90% of the trilogy

[sterile spear]

Meh, foreigner is foreigner at that rate no?

[valid jay]

?

[raw orchid]

ecologists aren't fighters though, nor are they meant to be fighters

Kruglov may be an exception but still

[sterile spear]

Kruglov my beloved

[raw orchid]

real

[hushed condor]

At the same time they should have at least a protection detail that is like Military and not need to hire stalkers

[raw orchid]

I mean even most advanced armor can't save you

[valid jay]

Yk if ecologists were as geared as their lore makes them out
in lore they're explicitly not geared, it's military's duty to protect them

[void kelp]

Whatever was added in the mod is not canonical.

[raw orchid]

besides hiring stalkers is safer and more logical

[raw orchid]

^

[hushed condor]

It’s not a matters of protection from anomalies since they already have that enough with their suits, its more of combat protection

[sterile spear]

I thought the lore said Ukraine spared little expense when it came to keeping the Ecologists equipped? I guess that doesn't include protective equipment past suits

[hushed condor]

Imagine in S2 they have ecologists be just juggernauts

[raw orchid]

[sterile spear]

The buff scientist would go so hard in the Zone

[raw orchid]

first of all, why would ecologists need armor for combat protection? they are sent to the Zone by governent to research it

not to fight and kill other people

[sterile spear]

Even reporters wear body armor in a warzone

[hushed condor]

They work (most of the time as seen in the games themselves) work next to psi-fields which have Snorks and Zombies

[sterile spear]

It's kind of a "you can't help it so might as well go all out" idea

[hushed condor]

One shoots bullets and the other just kicks the everliving life out of you kung-foo style

[raw orchid]

they are mostly in their bunkers, BUT,

[sterile spear]

Ideally ecologists would wear SEVA suits everywhere considering they've been targets of multiple different factions but ik Ukraine ain't gonna be spending that money lol

[hushed condor]

I’m not saying give them like Exoskeletons or Skat-9s but give them atleast something

[raw orchid]

Sakharov did mentioned that they have to leave their bunker sometimes

[hushed condor]

Send them out in a tank top and under pants

[raw orchid]

soo perhaps you do have a point

safety never hurts

[void kelp]

^ 🤔❓

[valid jay]

geared as in military gear

[raw orchid]

on another hand hiring stalker still seems way safer and logical

for ecologists of course

[hushed condor]

Logical yes, safer eh

Debatable

[sterile spear]

CoP kind of explored this idea with ISRIT, "officializing" or deputizing a few loners, but obviously that hasn't been expanded on since

[raw orchid]

Topol and his group are exception I guess

if they survive they will even become scientists and get more advanced armor

[granite tangle]

check this

[raw orchid]

but originally they were free stalkers

[granite tangle]

and this

[sterile spear]

Either that or a dedicated security team, but like you say they didn't come in as ecologists so it's definitely not the standard, for now at least

[valid jay]

scientists aren't military trained

they're here to conduct uhhh science not fight

[hushed condor]

But they got some training just in general whether it be natural or not

Or else they wouldn’t be given a firearm

[sterile spear]

Certainly they'd learn their lesson after the military cut and run though, right?

[raw orchid]

I agree but still, Sakharov did mentioned about them having to leave their bunker from time to time

[sharp moss]

nobody cares sir, their theme is that they research stuff not fight

[valid jay]

they would probably teach them basic pistol handling but nothing more than that

[hushed condor]

Again, neither are a lot of Loners but they have to in order to survive

[hushed condor]

Still some form a training

[raw orchid]

anyways, even if ecologists will get better armor for combat then they still lack basic combat skills

[sterile spear]

Well of course, doesn't mean they can't have something to protect them from bullets lol

[sharp moss]

Besides you already had a faction that researched and fought at the same time

[sterile spear]

Poor guys were just told "good luck" when they've been attacked by like 3 different factions

[raw orchid]

they're researchers, I can't see them lasting long even with some kind of advanced military gear

[hushed condor]

Wait a minute, how did we go from talking about UN canonically being in the Zone to Ecologists and body armor

[sterile spear]

That role was kinda wasted on Clear Sky tbh, sucks they were a one-shot faction

[sterile spear]

That's my bad I'll take responsibility for that one

[hushed condor]

Not your fault man, I just was confused for a minute

[raw orchid]

as for UN it was always canon

so yeah

[void kelp]

Very passionate

[sterile spear]

I just saw the opportunity to call ecologists teletubbies so I took it lmao

[hushed condor]

I can’t get out of my head Ecologus

[past rampart]

I Hate those eggheads

[raw orchid]

i tell you more: even 1 cut faction called "final day" is canon

final day was mentioned by barkeep in SoC

[hushed condor]

Final day seemed cool

[sterile spear]

Isn't there rumor they were supposed to be the precursor to CS?

[hushed condor]

Didn’t they get transformed into Clear Sky though?

[past rampart]

They can't be shaken for coins because high command is the one sending them

[raw orchid]

they were wild apparently

[past rampart]

and most of the time i can't do anything to a stalker if he works for them

[hushed condor]

Easy counter to that my friend, shoot them and claim “friendly fire”

[sharp moss]

They weren't told good luck the UAF were supposed to be there to get shot for them

[raw orchid]

no idea about that

[sterile spear]

Whoops, bandits got 'em

[hushed condor]

I think that was uh, Stalker Anarchy Cell or something

[past rampart]

Not a good guy but neither a back stabber

[sterile spear]

Yeah that's what I mean, military just said "good luck you're on your own"

[past rampart]

I Take bribes because at some point they get sick of it and i shoot on sight so mission complete

[hushed condor]

Same energy as “I’m a villian, not a monster.”

[sharp moss]

This dissolution of factions would just end up with everyone looking the same

[raw orchid]

you're kinda dead. how can you take anything?

[sharp moss]

"Why don't bandits have readily available exos? Everyone else does!"

[hushed condor]

First playthrough of SoC I just shot the Major because I wanted his AK lol

[past rampart]

Well i stole a car from a merc

[hushed condor]

I sucked at aiming and just hipfired

[past rampart]

the problem is he was in the swamps

[sterile spear]

Fair point, I was mainly thinking from an "official vs paramilitary" lense

[raw orchid]

Limansk Bandit in Clear Sky does have Exoskeleton and RP-74 but yeah, that's special case

[hushed condor]

Thats probably like a 1/500 bandit type

[raw orchid]

yeah. very special case

[sterile spear]

Buff bandit go brr

[sharp moss]

It's another small thing i hate Anomaly for

[valid jay]

loners are there to fight and collect artifacts

[sharp moss]

They just gave everyone everything for no reason

[hushed condor]

Not a lot of them are trained to however, most of them are there to take part in the artifact trade

[valid jay]

i don't think anomaly devs know what worldbuilding is

[sharp moss]

Why does CS need a SKAT when they have their own version of heavy assault armour? Idk lol just throw it in there

[void kelp]

"The Final Day" as a faction is not contactable.... At least in Vanilla's SoC 🤔

[sterile spear]

Balancing, I imagine. Can't really have game progression if you're too busy dying in Army Warehouses

[hushed condor]

Some work as security and some, some as bounty hunters

[urban coral]

International troops also patrol the Perimeter

[raw orchid]

in Vanilla SoC final day was only mentioned by Barkeep

Ghost killed leader of that faction

cya Kuznetsov

[hushed condor]

Major when he sees a person who didn’t pay the bribe pass the checkpoint via the tunnel

[sterile spear]

Ukraine just lets other armed forces patrol the border...? Or do they mean like on the Belarusian side of the Zone?

[urban coral]

Definitely

[urban coral]

Probably both

[valid jay]

UN forces most likely?

[void kelp]

How did Barkeep get the information? I can't help but wonder about the following.

[valid jay]

idk east slavic agreement seems possible too

[sterile spear]

Ah, yeah perhaps.

[valid jay]

stalker is set before 2014 after all

[raw orchid]

he's a trader, they get a lot of information. Ashot in CS even said that his info saved many lives

[valid jay]

it's traders job to know things, otherwise they wouldn't be alive or traders

[urban coral]

Free information? No way

[hushed condor]

Ashot my beloved

Mr. $20

[raw orchid]

About the "border control", I got something interesting for you

[urban coral]

YUP

[hushed condor]

The only reason why I didnt attack freedom in clear sky was because Ashot and Yar

[urban coral]

This one is interesting

[void kelp]

You are like a god in the zone!
Thank you!

[urban coral]

One hell of an overreaction

[raw orchid]

Anytime

[urban coral]

Nice

[hushed condor]

And the other reason I didnt attack freedom in CoP was because the VA for Loki died (Rest in Peace)

And Yar

[sterile spear]

You've got dialogue for everything don't you lmao

[void kelp]

Ohh, Thank you!

[urban coral]

We do

[raw orchid]

wanna see?

[urban coral]

I'm still missing some, though

[sterile spear]

Sure

[void kelp]

x50

[candid cloud]

W.

[urban coral]

The cut ability to spawn anomalies is also canon

[sterile spear]

That's supposed to come back in S2, correct?

[urban coral]

We don't know

[sterile spear]

Ah, just rumor then

[urban coral]

Would be neat, though

[valid jay]

well you can check

[sterile spear]

Oh?

[urban coral]

Chad

[sterile spear]

And it's organized, to boot

[raw orchid]

I will take screenshots of dialogues in SoC and CoP as well

after finishing CS

[void kelp]

cot

[raw orchid]

CS generally contains a looot of interesting dialogues

[void kelp]

Wow, Alex

[raw orchid]

I also like how Khaletskys dialogues

[urban coral]

@raw orchid
You've seen that dialogue that talks about how CS anomalies are different compared to the older ones?

[raw orchid]

I have

will try to find it

[urban coral]

Got that one too

[raw orchid]

this will also do

i love how tons of characters mention the large emission

[urban coral]

[raw orchid]

shows the impact it had on the Zone

[sterile spear]

Ooo he just made me think of something. We really don't see the Zone from outside the Zone that much, would be interesting to hear what regular citizens/news agencies think of it

[void kelp]

im staked on artifacts

[raw orchid]

generally civilians (most of them at least) would have a bad opinion about the Zone

[urban coral]

Proof there's no mutants beyond the Perimeter

[sharp moss]

The detectors are one of the worse ideas of the CS tbh

[sterile spear]

Probably, but how much do they know of it too?

[raw orchid]

not a lot

only those who are in the Zone know what's really going on

[raw orchid]

and don't forget: everyone who's in the Zone without governments permission is technically a criminal

hell soldiers even have orders to kill everyone on sight but military is corrupt also

[sterile spear]

Kinda funny to think about in that regard, most of the world has no clue about the Zone past it's a dangerous place and should be avoided

[raw orchid]

Suslov mentioning that Zone's so called lockdown is just a myth

[urban coral]

Well, it depends. People know of the Zone, so it's not a secret. Freedom tries to prevent the government from covering up what's happening in the Zone, so they're probably acting like "journalists", as it were

There's also Arkady

[sterile spear]

I imagine Freedom has some kinda website they manage talking about the Zone, assuming governments don't shut down their IPs all the time

[sterile spear]

Arkady?

[void kelp]

They most likely use 4chan

[sterile spear]

lol funny enough I wanted to say 4chan but wasn't too sure

[urban coral]

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

Although the bio is cut-content

But they're accurate

[raw orchid]

you guys wanna know how corrupt military is? check these dialogues

[sterile spear]

Ohhh, I see now ty

[urban coral]

There apparently was a cut character called Journalist as well

[void kelp]

I'm playing Stalker Trilogy in Japanese translation, but I can't understand the task content or conversation here. All I can tell is that Scar is VERY cool…

[urban coral]

How did you get the nickname "Journalist"?

Just something from my past. I used to be a journalist, a good one at that. I came to the Zone with an editorial mission: to write about the difficult lives of the military stationed here. The army welcomed me with an all-nighter of boozing, followed by, umm, a night safari, let's say. I don't remember the trip - I'd had a few, to say the least, but I took a few shots here and there. At some point I passed out cold, and when I woke up it was morning, I was lying on the ground by myself, with vehicle tracks ending right next to me...Just like that, a car was driving along just fine and then "bam!" - nothing. My bag and papers gone as well... but I guess the Zone liked me, as it let me find people again. Except this time it was some other group - they locked me up in a basement, saying I entered the zone illegally and might be contaminated, so just sit and wait until we work things out. Or you can give us some green and we'll let you go. I've seen plenty-a-day wasted in that basement before Ashot came and bought my freedom. Now I'm in Freedom, and I'll be grateful to Ashot to the end of my days. We go way back, he and I, the things we've seen...and I hope to God and pray to the Zone that we'll still see many more before our chapter is done.

[raw orchid]

another example of military corruption

CS member mentioning buying weapons from the military

[urban coral]

Yep

There's also SoC dialogue of their corruption

[raw orchid]

from deserter, right?

i forgot to take screenshots of SoC dialogues sadly

[urban coral]

Nope, from a regular Stalker at the Cordon

[raw orchid]

aha

@urban coral 🇷 🇺

[sterile spear]

Freedomers have got some of the weirdest stories on how they ended up with them

[raw orchid]

community generally has a lot of misconceptions about Freedom

[raw orchid]

such as freedomers having sex with bloodsuckers when in reality that dialogue is meant FOR bandits

but duty and freedom NPCs at the garbage also share bandits dialogues

[sterile spear]

Ik that one, kinda sucks that became the butt of the joke for them

Ngl I like a lot of what freedom stands for in the Zone but community misconception has kinda spoiled 'em for me

[valid jay]

realistically speaking some freedom members might have tried to sex a bloodsucker

[sterile spear]

Then again I used to roll with Duty so it's probably more likely I don't know what I believe for the Zone lol

[raw orchid]

you know what's another funny thing?

many people think that this dialogue is only for freedomers

[urban coral]

Duty doing more bad than good?

[raw orchid]

although this dialogue literally says "a real paradise for a thief

[sterile spear]

Their hearts are in the right place at least

[raw orchid]

why would a Freedomer brag about being a thief?

[sterile spear]

People see what they want to see and this is just proof of it

[urban coral]

Besides, you can read it in the way it's written

[sterile spear]

^

[raw orchid]

aye

[urban coral]

Freedom dialogue is written with a different tone

[raw orchid]

from how it's written that dialogue obviously is meant for bandits

[urban coral]

Bandits usually brag

[raw orchid]

i kinda hate bandits attitude ngl

[urban coral]

It B wat it B

[raw orchid]

speaking of bandits

[urban coral]

Wish they were a little bit more competent

[raw orchid]

this dialogue confirms that some bandits were supposed be stalkers

[urban coral]

At least armor-wise

[raw orchid]

supposed to be*

[urban coral]

Obviously

[raw orchid]

beard also directly says that many bandits used to be stalkers in the past

[urban coral]

And that some of them aren't that bad

Some of them are decent folk

[raw orchid]

bro Crimson

Yoga is 1 f*cked up person

bro is wayyy out of line fr

[urban coral]

Depends

He says one thing, but does the other

[urban coral]

It's just kinda how Bandits are

[valid jay]

he's bandit leader, what do you expect

[raw orchid]

this is just messed up damn

[raw orchid]

I mean still, Sultan is also 1 but he doesn't seem as bad as Yoga

Sultan at least stands up for his friends

[sterile spear]

How is one "supposed" to become a stalker?

[raw orchid]

"Where do I begin... I guess it goes back to high school. I had a good buddy, a best friend, if you will. We hung out together, smoking, drinking and whatnot. Only he wanted more and more thrills. He got into drugs: some weed at first, then smach and then coke, when he started getting some coin. I told him, "You gotta get off this shit, Tolyan, before it's too late." But he didn't listen. He scored some bad shit one day and that was that. I found his dealers and got even for my buddy... Got my picture took and all hell broke loose - the slammer, the gang fights, the shiv in the belly... Got out, started a business, got busted again... When I got out again, I left all that shit behind and set my sights on the Zone. Spent a couple months toughing it out, then got promoted. So now I'm in charge here, upholding the local law."

[valid jay]

sultan?

[urban coral]

Well, simply get un-Rookie'd

[sterile spear]

Oh bandits aren't considered stalkers are they?

[raw orchid]

absolutely not

[sterile spear]

And just to confirm we're not calling loners stalkers rn, are we?

[urban coral]

Yes, but no

[raw orchid]

doesn't seem like Yoga would do the same imo

[urban coral]

They're not Free Stalkers

[valid jay]

uhhh yes they are? stalker is anyone who's in the zone

[urban coral]

Loners are Loners, Free Stalkers are Free Stalkers

But everyone in the Zone is a Stalker, as it were

Except Military and Scientific personnel

[sterile spear]

Gotcha, cause I've heard people say bandits aren't stalkers because they don't exhibit the cultural code of the Zone, or something like that

[urban coral]

With the only exception being Military Stalkers, of which some are former Stalkers hired to work for the Military

@raw orchid
Not everyone seems to mind the Bandits' taxes, though (Oh no, a Freedomer having Digger dialogue?! The horror! )

[raw orchid]

me on my way to create more misconceptions

[past rampart]

Good night stalkers

[raw orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/rabenmann-rabe-jben-gif-20475626

[raw orchid]

gn bro

[urban coral]

Goodnight

I forgot to make a screenshot of the mention of what actually gets found in the Garbage heaps, as well as them using some of the CNPP parts to maintain their equipment

[raw orchid]

how ironic it is?

Borov himself in SoC looks like he ate Yoga

[sterile spear]

lmao that first paragraph is me everytime I hear a reddit or discord freedomer start talking about how it's all chill drugs 'n stuff

[raw orchid]

give me a minute or few

[urban coral]

I found some very old screenshots I've made once

[urban coral]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/651163265354956802/776144189506322435/IMG_20200922_130548.jpg?ex=65df749a&is=65ccff9a&hm=8928abf4d31a5b3e940ff258a26b902b1e731e8335603e8d0789e8e4f23e4bcc&

[urban coral]

That's one

[urban coral]

Garbage loot:

Transistors
Rotors
Canned meat
Vehicles
Diesel engines
Military radios

Reason:

Souvenir from the Zone
Use parts to repair gear

Luckily, I wrote it down

[raw orchid]

Basically

@urban coral I never understood that part tbh

"someone else is wearing his boots" what does he imply?

[urban coral]

I assume he means that someone has taken over his role

[raw orchid]

makes sense

it's also interesting that bandits even during CS events had eyes on Dark Valley base

[urban coral]

Yeah

I assume this is part of that (presumed to be) cut content we talked about earlier

[sterile spear]

Could also mean someone else is literally wearing his boots- looted his corpse, or whatever was left.

[urban coral]

Eh, don't think so

[raw orchid]

Same tbh

I was always under impression that he didn't meant it literally

[sterile spear]

Yours is probably more likely, that was just my first thought before I read yours

[raw orchid]

and that dialogue had some other meaning

[urban coral]

After all, he said "if you know what I mean"

[raw orchid]

yeah

[sterile spear]

Emissions don't zombify, do they?

[urban coral]

No direct confirmation, no

[sterile spear]

Then you're probably right about someone taking his role

[urban coral]

Although, with Emissions being the release of psi-energy, I wouldn't see it as impossible

[raw orchid]

Sakharov mentions psy-field but not your ordinary emission

[urban coral]

Yeah

Just for the record, don't believe the lies of mods, psi-emissions are not a thing

[sterile spear]

Emissions may be too powerful or all-at-once to zombify compared to a psy-field

[sterile spear]

psi-storms?

[valid jay]

aren't all emissions psi-emissions

[urban coral]

Fanon asf

[sterile spear]

Gotcha, never really understood the psi-storm's existence in mods considering what emissions are supposed to be

[urban coral]

Psi-emission is basically another word for simply psi-energy, as you can see in anomalies or from Controllers and such

[urban coral]

Emissions are the release of psi-energy, so yeah

There definitely is a connection between Emissions, Zombified Stalkers and the nervous system

[raw orchid]

normal emission is basically a discharge

[urban coral]

Also, Zombies are mentioned in SoC, but it's up to you if you see it as canon or not, because it's probably just undeleted/unaltered information

[sterile spear]

Nice job, Duty

[urban coral]

I do agree with Lebedev, though

The Zone definitely tolerates people in some areas, while it doesn't in others

[sterile spear]

Well, it did before Strelok, at least

[urban coral]

Hermit is proof of co-existence with the Zone, after all

All Shamans are

Although we haven't seen it in action

[raw orchid]

Zone being alive is something that many characters say and speculate

hell we literally have shaman/hermit who says that mutants don't even attack him anymore

[urban coral]

Even Dutyers such as Shulga

[sterile spear]

I mean it's more-or-less confirmed at the end of SoC

[raw orchid]

Exactly

[urban coral]

Although we do see Uncle Yar walking through a field of zombified stalkers with you and them not being hostile towards you, so there's that

[raw orchid]

Shulga even thinks that the Zone is a living organism

[sterile spear]

Makes sense, can't kill something that isn't alive to begin with afterall

[raw orchid]

Forester also mentions that the Zone gave him some sort of special powers

he also refers to the Zone as something alive

[urban coral]

And is challenging him

[urban coral]

Getting cheeky, at least

[sterile spear]

This conversation is oddly pushing me more towards Freedom lol

[void kelp]

I would like to know why Scar did not die after being caught in the Great Emission in the first round of CS and the opening = early tasks
Well, there may be a circumstance that these are simply event cutscenes

[urban coral]

Yeah, Freedom does believe they can co-exist with the Zone and study Shaman behavior as well

Or just study the Zone in general, tbh

[raw orchid]

Chad Chekhov is aware about Shamans

[sterile spear]

If only they weren't so weird about it half the time

[void kelp]

What we mustn't forget is that Scar is the only one who can survive the emissions. He was exposed to something so terrible that a normal person would die from the initial shock wave 🤔

[raw orchid]

Scar is definitely not your ordinary man tho

[urban coral]

Yup

[urban coral]

That and potentially Degtyarev thanks to the Anabiotics

[raw orchid]

Zone apparently left some mark on Scar too

Hell you can literally consider Scar as superhuman

[urban coral]

He definitely gets superhuman abilities during an Emission

As mentioned above

[raw orchid]

literal superhuman with increased motor skill, durability etc

this can also explain Scar's superiority over others

[urban coral]

Doesn't work in-game, though

[raw orchid]

aye

[void kelp]

The watchtower scene, for example, is a nightmare for ordinary people and for Clear Sky troopers

[raw orchid]

still though, lorewise at least Scar is superhuman

[urban coral]

Beanpolev also apparently gave Scar some medincine off-screen

[urban coral]

Dutyers as well, but only when we're discussing the amount of drug injectors they can upgrade into their suit, which isn't the same as Scar's situation, but definitely places them above a normal human's capabilities, despite the risk it poses to one's health

[raw orchid]

fair

[coarse rapids]

https://youtu.be/qLZenOn7WUo?feature=shared

[urban coral]

And artifact users, of course, but that's basically not seen at all

[raw orchid]

doesn't SoC's PDA entry about Duty and even Krylov himself confirm that they're not using artifacts?

[void kelp]

Thanks for the info!

Scar seems like a funny cynical uncle to me, but I him

[raw orchid]

from Krylovs dialogue I was always under assumption that Duty just sells artifacts for new guns

[urban coral]

Not really, SoC's PDA entry says this

A clearly militarized group noted for its strict discipline, with members living according to a code.

Only Duty representatives refuse to trade unique items from the Zone with the outside world. According to rumours, all artifacts found by members of this group are passed to scientists.

Every member considers it his primary objective to protect the world from the Zone. Most of the group's operations concern destroying monsters, and so Duty's raids often save regular stalkers from many daily problems.

The faction has long been in a fierce war with Freedom.

Despite this, we do hear from Duty members in CoP that they sell their artifacts to Hawaiian, which basically means they're hypocrites or the rumors are fake

[raw orchid]

it says that all artifacts found by members of this group are passed to scientists tho

[urban coral]

According to rumours

[raw orchid]

and Krylov saying that Dutyers not using artifacts for their personal gain

Also damn

CoP gotta be my least played Stalker game tbh

[urban coral]

Also, I wouldn't see "use" and "sell" as the same thing

[raw orchid]

Aight that's a good point

touche Crimson

Aight I'm getting sleepy. Guess that's a good night

cya guys

[urban coral]

https://tenor.com/view/ocelot-metal-gear-laugh-gif-15938049

[void kelp]

From reading the referenced info etc., Scar doesn't seem to care about his own death. Maybe, he realizes some kind of despair

gn. the gods of the zone

[narrow smelt]

This would be great news if I liked the souls like genre

[narrow smelt]

Gn bro

[ripe merlin]

This goes hard

[narrow smelt]

Sterlok

[void kelp]

He definitely gets superhuman abilities during an Emission
During a quick evacuation, the emission alarm forces him to dash

[neon vale]

nothing makes me feel more like a bitter assholе than when i click on a dont starve video and see comments about terraria

It's more of a DSLR vs smartphone comparison

[crystal lagoon]

I see, it’s ok you don’t have to

[sly wigeon]

Spoiler: the phone loses in quality a little but it's always with you

[crystal lagoon]

Fair point

I got a crappy iPhone 10

[sly wigeon]

I've got a Canon EOS 1200D and a Galaxy A33. My phone is so bad in comparison

[crystal lagoon]

nice

[sly wigeon]

It's easy - have you got any pretty places around you?

[crystal lagoon]

not rly i live in australia

[sly wigeon]

Or something you might want to capture, to save?

[crystal lagoon]

the city has some nice places

but thats far away

[sly wigeon]

Well, go there. Don't be lazy. If you haven't got a camera - use the Pro mode on your phone.

[crystal lagoon]

yeah fair its like an hour and abit away.... and i use public transport....

[sly wigeon]

By the way you can take so much photos when on a bus or a train

[void kelp]

I'm starting to like this server, so I think I'll boost it

[raw orchid]

morning

@urban coral this seems to imply that mercs (some of them at least) used to be stalkers before

[void kelp]

I saw somewhere a story about a drug that mitigates the effects of emissions, but why did prof. Beanpolev give it to Scar? Why did he have it?

[raw orchid]

According to him best he can do is reduce the negative impact of emissions on Scars body

in simpler words, slow down the process and give Scar more time to stay alive

[void kelp]

Perhaps you are taking copious screenshots of CS conversations? If so, great...

[raw orchid]

wdym?

[void kelp]

I appreciate it because it shows me SS and logs I need to know!

[raw orchid]

ohh

I got confused for a second. English isn't my main language

[raw orchid]

because of that, some misunderstandings might happen

[void kelp]

[raw orchid]

Scar being aware of the Mobius ring

[raw orchid]

[void kelp]

Tea costs 0.90 bgn

It used to be 0.80

The west is crumbling

The free world no longer exists

[raw orchid]

The West has fallen

[void kelp]

The Mobius ring has been going on for a long time, both theoretically and physically. It was "imposed" on me by Clear Sky…
No, nah, it's like a job I took on. I was just saying that kind of anomalous thing

[sly wigeon]

Indeed

It's too much

Inflation is hitting the weakest (school kids) the hardest

[teal oracle]

Cta jump scare

[crystal lagoon]

I believe in him

[crystal lagoon]

The west rly is falling apart mainly America tbh I think it’s not going to be the superpower it is rn in roughly 50 years

[sly wigeon]

It was a joke

I was kidding

[sly wigeon]

Build more houses

[crystal lagoon]

Welp I tend to take everything to political just ignore me my bad

[sly wigeon]

Poor kitty

[narrow smelt]

Oh damn bro I mean go visit lol

[narrow smelt]

I was half expecting a German natsi march at the end lol

[narrow smelt]

Until trump comes into power and we’ll bounce back

[glass bobcat]

💀 he ain't a nazi bruh

[narrow smelt]

We just need to start focusing on ourselves

[narrow smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-vultures-everybody-new-gif-12847039774498163445

[crystal lagoon]

thats not just a german emblem btw its been around since medivale times

🤓

its also used in russia

and other places

[glass bobcat]

I think you didnt watch full interview where kanye was talking about Israel

And im not "kanye meat rider" lmaoooo

[narrow smelt]

I said I am not u

“I am a Kanye meat rider”

[glass bobcat]

yhym

[narrow smelt]

I wonder why he’d wear such a thing 🧐. “I’m anti semetic, I’m still the king”

He even says he sees good things in h1tler bru

I’m all for his music he’s one of my fav artists oat but he’s kind of a piece of shit outside his works

[glass bobcat]

[void kelp]

Was Scar personally interested in Strelok? Did he just track him down as Lebedev told him to?
Whether they had any grudges or other feelings toward...

[crystal lagoon]

maybe scar just looking for good friend

[raw orchid]

Scar only wanted to stop Strelok

[glass bobcat]

After 2 minutes of googling, i found a few things hitler did and it wasnt about killing people

[raw orchid]

Strelok doesn't/shouldn't even remember Scar after CS events

[crystal lagoon]

scar just wants strelocks friendship :(

[narrow smelt]

Why not praise other people then?

That’s like me praising Ted bundy because he donated to church on sundays

Even tho he killed like 20+ people

[void kelp]

It's all business. Clear Sky hired me. And I'm a mercenary

If I didn't do something about Strelok, I might die first

[glass bobcat]

I he doesn't "praise him" 💀

In short he said that Jews won't tell him who to love or hate and that most CEOs of huge companies are jews

[narrow smelt]

Yea bro he does

[narrow smelt]

It’s a fact that a lot of CEOs are Jews

[glass bobcat]

Isn't it kinda suspicious?

[gray jetty]

My ceo is Gary

LETS HEAR IT FOR GARY

[narrow smelt]

No it means they worked their asses off to get to those positions. Now it’s just sons and daughters of sons and daughters who hold those positions but they worked their asses off since the holocaust

[gray jetty]

Alright I’m gonna shut this convo down right now n

Interesting suv

[narrow smelt]

Has about 80k miles

[gray jetty]

No pop ups

[narrow smelt]

Well…

The trunk pops up

[gray jetty]

Sure

[narrow smelt]

Take that 🫵

[gray jetty]

Celica all trak

[narrow smelt]

Not an suv my brotha

https://tenor.com/view/toyota-fortuner-trd-sportivo-toyota-logo-toyota-fortuner-suv-gif-14976708

I mean it’s reliable asf

[narrow smelt]

What happens if someone wedges a coin in the edge of the pop up headlights

[glass bobcat]

I meant this car

But it's more like a suv

[gray jetty]

Nothing

[narrow smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-explode-gif-25528415

[narrow smelt]

Test it

Slab on some pbj on there for good measure

[gray jetty]

My cars not a Pontiac lmao

Pop ups actually reliably work

[narrow smelt]

My dad would grill me if I tried to get a car that has pop up headlights

After a while they might not work

Then ur screwed since u can’t see squat

[gray jetty]

Nah that’s if you buy a shit ass car

[narrow smelt]

Well I can only afford shit ass cars rn 😔

[gray jetty]

You buy them on a Japanese car they last forever

[narrow smelt]

Well ofc I only would buy Japanese

[gray jetty]

My car is 30 years old

Pop ups still work perfectly

[narrow smelt]

I’m assuming u prob had to put some time into fixing it up

I doubt a 30 year old car is gonna work out of the box

[gray jetty]

It does work out the box

[narrow smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/scared-dog-gif-16703095789183044093

[gray jetty]

But it’s got its share of issues for sure

Suspension is shot for one

You hit a big enough pot hole car will almost contact the pavement

[narrow smelt]

Damn

My brake discs are rusted to all hell

[gray jetty]

My cars breaks just suck ass

[narrow smelt]

Same

I can’t afford to fix it damn

Tf Apple 😡
