[fringe stream]

Did the devs provide a fix for the “out of video memory error”?

[brave jetty]

Has anyone been experiencing that low FPS and latency after the new patch?

[marble heron]

I wonder when they are going to patch the random weapon switch glitch

[wispy knot]

wonder if they will use the old encasement, or the new one

[scarlet gate]

Has anyone anywhere come up with a name for stalkeresque fiction. Like that, the roadside picnic book, southern reach trilogy

Essentially an area on earth that is altered and is "anomalous" compared to the rest of the world

[wispy knot]

so like Singularity, where Katorga 12 has time travel anomalies but the rest of earth is fine?

[scarlet gate]

I was trying to think of a list of works that meets this description: Games: Stalker series (obv) and stalcraft, Chernobylite, Pioner (upcoming), Movies: Stalker, Annihilation, Alice in wonderland (kind of? Oz does exist on earth somewhere, it just cant be found) Books: Roadside Picnic, Southern Reach Series, Alice in wonderland (kind of, or does she enter thru a portal), Phantom Tollbooth (the area exists on earth)

[scarlet gate]

Exactly! I was thinking about that game but I couldnt remember if it had any anomalous stuff

[wispy knot]

i swear Singularity is so underrated

[peak field]

im doing a street kid middle ground my next run i wanna go full cyber blade assassin

[oblique fossil]

I saw you can buy new apartments

And they made it so that you can go on dates with your romance partner lol

[twin cairn]

wait fr? thats awesome haha

[peak field]

Omg cuberpunk

[twin cairn]

a member here actually told me to get this game so i got it on friday

[peak field]

So that was the sudden 11gb download i got for the game..

[oblique fossil]

I say dates, but it's more so you can invite them to your house

[oblique fossil]

No that's been in the game for a while

[peak field]

Oh ok

[oblique fossil]

@twin cairn not sure if you watch anime, but I've heard Cyberpunk Edgerunners is really good

It's a prequel to 2077

[peak field]

It is

[oblique fossil]

I've seen a bunch of spoilers, but I still need to watch it

I know you can find the character's items in game now

[twin cairn]

I deff wanna see it I heard good things about it

[peak field]

Its been like that for a long timr

[oblique fossil]

Yeah

I still kinda want the Trauma Team statue

It came out a month or two after the game launched

This thing is so badass, but it was like $400 back then

[smoky sandal]

🫦

[oblique fossil]

That happened to me, thought some Ward guy died all caked up

But alas it was his knees

[graceful cedar]

Well that's a new one

[median plover]

anyone know if the Warden Armor is sold anywhere im sorta late game and the original place to get its located (icarus base) is inaccessible due to quests

[graceful cedar]

Like a Ward Exoskeleton?

[median plover]

nah the pz-20 what ever convoy

[graceful cedar]

Do you need it for a quest or something? There's lots of much better armor options that you should have access to

[median plover]

fashion. mostly

[scarlet gate]

https://tenor.com/view/jackpot-devil-may-cry-gun-dante-pose-gif-14329655

My best guess would be any of the bases controlled by Ward I guess

Help.

What happened to my scope sorry I couldn't find proper channel where I can post images

[marble heron]

Reload a save. It's a glitch

[obsidian gorge]

Thanks

[crude tartan]

where can I buy scopes for my gun? Im using a viper 5 rn

[peak field]

That one guy at rostok has a lot of them

[crude tartan]

where can i find rostok

im currently at zalissya

[peak field]

Wait till u unlock areas outside of lesser zone

And then take a look at the map and find a vaguely rostok shaped place

[crude tartan]

are there any scopes i can loot within the lesser zone

[peak field]

I honestly have no idea, theres a scoped AK u can get in a sidequest tho

[magic bridge]

Have they just stopped answering questions on here? I asked one awhile ago if we would ever be able to upgrade to ultimate edition, since I'm missing side quest. Stupid to put quest behind a pay wall

[void kelp]

Really sad.

[pearl fractal]

[graceful cedar]

[wispy knot]

Metro Exodus is an amazing game, but I won't lie, the enemy damage output can get a bit annoying sometimes, and the fact that you can't really find medkits in the open like previous games, you need to craft them, which can be expensive

[urban coral]

The world is full with selective disinformation. The ones supposed to tell us what's up keep themselves shut

Still, this isn't the place to make that kind of post

[nimble blade]

so the trilogy played similar to stalker 2? in the sense of less survival and more like story driven, free roam I’m sure was available.

[rotund horizon]

It's still a fun game tho

I can see why 4A had to make It open world tho

[wispy knot]

true, true, but still, making medkits something you need to make instead of find on bodies of enemies, + making enemies do MUCH more damage, gets very annoying, bery fast

[rotund horizon]

I can't deny that.Even on the lower difficulties enemies can easily take you out

Wich is why stealth is the best way to clear out outposts

[upper lodge]

Damn, playing Stalker 2 has kind of made me wish I hadn't sold my AKM two years ago.

Reload the save or close/open the game.

[raw orchid]

2 out of 3 trilogy games don't have a freeroam. only in CoP does the freeroam exist but ||you need to refuse to be evacuated in the final mission, but even if you refuse to get evacuated finishing the game is still possible ||

man idek whether to look forward to the next season of Invincible
"hey come watch him repeatedly get the stuffing knocked out of him with 0 character growth or progression"
nice show nerds

[nimble blade]

@raw orchid and anomaly is all three put together in free roam passion? Then gamma is an extension of that

[soft kindle]

it gets old watching the underdog remain the underdog for 2 seasons

[bitter spruce]

oh my GOD

play CoTZ

[twin cairn]

Cotz is way better then anomaly

Better quest system

[nimble blade]

no idea what that is

[latent estuary]

Yo

[twin cairn]

Call of the zone by doctor X the best freeplay mod out there

[bitter spruce]

also GAMMA "being an extension" is so wrong. base anomaly is more fun than unbalanced GAMMA garbage

[latent estuary]

Yeah, but it's just like, SoC isn't it

[bitter spruce]

more like CoP

[nimble blade]

apologies I wasn’t making a statement was a question, I don’t know anything about stalker

[wild mulch]

"shit one is less shit than shit two"

[twin cairn]

Cotz has dynamic quest lines and faction relations it really is awesome

[bitter spruce]

OBVIOUSLY

[nimble blade]

this was my first thing I typed here

[jaunty vortex]

is there a way to stop getting pings for media? I dont really watch videos and tried muting it but still get pinged

[latent estuary]

Yeah, but you still die to the cat hoards of garbage. Woe to the rookie loner who doesn't have much choice in work he can actually handle.

[bitter spruce]

what

[latent estuary]

Yeah, but you still die to the cat hoards of garbage. Woe to the rookie loner who doesn't have much choice in work he can actually handle.

[bitter spruce]

[nimble blade]

so what is anomaly?

[soft kindle]

mom come pick me up chuds are whinging about gamma again

[bitter spruce]

yeah repeating it makes it so much better

[latent estuary]

It's a mod.

Rip to a king

[latent estuary]

Idk, never played it

[soft kindle]

chud spotted
can't even get colours right

[twin cairn]

You should

[bitter spruce]

based d lite truth nuke

[nimble blade]

what does it do differently

[bitter spruce]

what is it then

[latent estuary]

Pokémon is always upping the ante.
And I thought anime Mewtwo was OP.

[bitter spruce]

dead internet theory is fuсkin real

what is this guy talking about

[latent estuary]

You will be assimilated

[nimble blade]

what does it do differently to other mods or mod packs or however they stuff works

[twin cairn]

This is what cotz offers

[soft kindle]

turqoise ya dingus

[bitter spruce]

its based on CoC and not on any Misery mods

[twin cairn]

I posted it but often it's wise to investigate these things if you're curious

[wild mulch]

tasks that can be enjoyed without first having to go through a lobotomy

[nimble blade]

what is CoC and misery 😂

[bitter spruce]

anomaly's only plus is the better engine, but its based on misery dog shit

[latent estuary]

Now can we get the guns of other modpacks and cleaning kits and the like

[nimble blade]

Reading it now, does sound really nice

[wild mulch]

CoC is old freeplay/exploration mod combining maps from the three games
Misery is poopy stinky wannabe hardcore mod that does "hardcore" the worst way imaginable

[bitter spruce]

Call of Chernobyl is a really old free play mod. Misery is a "hardcore" mod

[twin cairn]

There's cleaning kits already in base cotz and gun mods there's a bunch

[latent estuary]

I see, I see

[twin cairn]

It's my favorite freeplay mod that still feels like the trilogy

[bitter spruce]

you say that but enjoy road to the north

[twin cairn]

I don't recommend things often but I do recommend cotz

[wild mulch]

because RTTN has cool features of its own
and the Misery crap isnt significant, because the mod isnt hardcore at all

[soft kindle]

oh look at me i'm @bitter spruce and i'm scared of differerent colours
how dare people have a different opinions!!
wrongthink!! i'm gonna cream my pants

[nimble blade]

So cotz is based on CoC which is a bit more streamlined or less hardcore than misery which is what gamma/anomaly is based on

[bitter spruce]

what

[latent estuary]

Personally, I like my experience to remind of of CBT

[wild mulch]

based on CoC, upgraded with better tasks

[bitter spruce]

yeahhh, its ASS!!!!!!

pregnant man react me i LOVE PREGNANT MEN

[latent estuary]

You say that about everything, what would you know

[nimble blade]

does misery/anomaly have the level of a life as show in this? Or is cotz better in this aspect

[wild mulch]

no

[bitter spruce]

"transhumanist" ignored

[raw orchid]

as far as I know Anomaly has combined map of all 3 games and is freeroam

[latent estuary]

I'm forcing you to become a sentient can opener once the time of man is done.

[wild mulch]

Anomaly has like 8 times lower population density than Clear Sky
the mod is dead and empty
theres like 10NPCs per map

[bitter spruce]

a life is pretty much the same in all freeplay mods

gameplay is what matters in them

[latent estuary]

Yeah, why would there be like, a Taylor Swift concert going on in the zone? People get shot trying to get in and eaten on the other side.

[nimble blade]

what about gamma, I know people’s hate for it, but trying to understand and compare from someone who has never touched anything besides stalker 2

might just try the trilogy purely vanilla or maybe some QoL mods

[bitter spruce]

GAMMA is trying to be a hardcore tactical shooter

[wild mulch]

shares every single issue Anomaly has, but introducess new ones on top

[bitter spruce]

but misses the point of everything stalker and creates an unbalanced tedious grind

[soft kindle]

i find it hilarious that there's people in here whose whole identity is hating anomaly/gamma despite that those modlists have brought innumerable stalkers to the zone

[latent estuary]

True

[twin cairn]

I'm just a vanilla enthusiast tbh

Cotz is the limit for me

[latent estuary]

I would not be a fan if only the original trilogy existed. Stalker 2 is very interesting, but those crusty animations and models of the vanilla original games... yuck.

[soft kindle]

here's one

[raw orchid]

so you like vanilla? name every single mentioned character

[nimble blade]

what would be the point of stalker? as I kind of like the free roam idea select a faction and start location and work from there (I’m really bad with story)

[twin cairn]

😳

[bitter spruce]

stalker 2 is peak

[wild mulch]

what an you do when the mods are ass and their fans insufferable more often than not :3

[latent estuary]

It will be. When the enemy stops teleporting behind me.

[bitter spruce]

more arcadey than hardcore. more focused on FUN than realism

[nimble blade]

also kind of enjoy a bit hard survival-esque mechanics or situations

[bitter spruce]

but if you want a more true stalker freeplay experience then you would like CoTZ

[soft kindle]

play the modlist and avoid the community
gamma discord is rubbish. get the mods and set the discord to mute

[nimble blade]

nothing tedious though (like pre update stalker 2 repair cost)

[latent estuary]

Oh, yes, you're truly the honey that catches so many flies...

[bitter spruce]

truer than that would be vanilla CoC

[twin cairn]

I wanna do this soon

[wild mulch]

introducing unecessary elements
stalker games were never complex and hard
thee mods think that "stalker experience" is making a cross of Green Hell, Rust and DayZ
Completelly missing that stalker is about environment, atmosphere andsetting

[random onyx]

quality over quantity

[latent estuary]

Which are you

[bitter spruce]

then just play stalker 2. stalker 2 just goes more for the survival sim aspect, while staying pretty true to stalker

[soft kindle]

stalker encourages toxic gatekeepers. the worst of those go over to Gamma and become mods.
get gamma and avoid the discord. That's my advice.

[wild mulch]

what I mean is that anomaly/gamma players flood every server/forum and ask retarded questions making the media basically unusable for actual stalker conversations

[bitter spruce]

well gamma is just really unfun but if you really want to play it you can

[soft kindle]

subjective opinion but ok

[wild mulch]

heck I wanted to look up what engine CoC uses and all I got was "gamma this gamma that, what is strelok?"

[latent estuary]

Grok should create STALKER offshoot series simply called GAMMA

[raw orchid]

its more complex than that. you're oversimplifying the whole issue without going into details

[soft kindle]

i see much more gamma/anomaly hate than the reverse, but ymmv

[bitter spruce]

Grokter Studios presents GAMMA: STALKER ZONE

[whole sable]

Disable brain scorcher?
Through MO2 or the menu settings?

[bitter spruce]

because its BAD

[raw orchid]

why don't you talk about the fact that this community is full of people who treat these particular mods as the only thing worth attention, have little recognition and respect for the original games, recommend newbies to start with them, advertise these mods in a way that distorts the concept of the series, may expect the sequel to be akin to these mods, constantly repeat the same stupid jokes based on something that is only present in these mods, confuse canon lore with mod lore, don't know anything about other mods, of which there are hundreds, and treat any criticism of their favorite modpack as "gatekeeping" and "elitism"?

[random onyx]

make gatekeeping great again

[bitter spruce]

ignore this guy, his pfp is a nazi anime girl

[raw orchid]

[wild mulch]

eww

[latent estuary]

Based

[random onyx]

all opinion is subjective duh

[bitter spruce]

shut UP

[soft kindle]

yes and?

[nimble blade]

is cotz a mod pack or just a mod? what are other famous things to try other than gamma/anomaly. I think I saw drewski do a winter one? or do these modpacks/vanilla have seasons

[bitter spruce]

its a modpack id say. but its standalone so you don't need to do much

[whole sable]

It is a mod

[soft kindle]

oh look more NPCs crying about anomaly/gamma way to prove me wrong lads

[raw orchid]

can I get an answer to that? @soft kindle

[bitter spruce]

winter mod just retextures everything to be snowy

[raw orchid]

and no I don't hate any mods, i'm just saying how it is

[soft kindle]

idk what you're on about
i frequently see the OG trilogy recommended

[twin cairn]

This

[nimble blade]

graphically it looked really nice

[raw orchid]

mods themselves aren't an issue, a lot of people who play those mods are

[random onyx]

very unukrainian of you

[raw orchid]

its worth to make a distinction

[twin cairn]

The mod community is slop

[wild mulch]

CotZ is mod of a mod
it takes what CoC did well and makesit better in pretty much every way

[nimble blade]

I see

[soft kindle]

if anything it's THIS community which ostrasizes you if you don't enjoy the OG stalker games

[twin cairn]

@random onyx change your pfp

[raw orchid]

even in this Discord at least 1 case of someone recommending other user(s) to start with Anomaly

comment of cool_lad guy, i can find tons of examples like this but won't dwelve into this

[soft kindle]

yeah they recommend anomaly if you've come straight from the vanilla titles
it's in the FAQ

[nimble blade]

Thanks for all those who replied to me and answered my questions. Google wasn’t doing me much justice

[twin cairn]

Cotz > anomaly

[wild mulch]

[wild mulch]

"some dude in grass"

[rotund horizon]

This hurts to read

[raw orchid]

whole point is that some people actually recommend others to start with Anomaly, and that fact remains even if you yourself haven't seen that issue

[latent estuary]

If you tell someone to start with Clear Sky, they'll probably commit homicide. Anomaly is a service to the world.

[raw orchid]

i already provided 2 proofs, and I'm 100% sure there are tons of such scenarios

[raw orchid]

yeah ngl no one should start with CS lol, starting with SoC is the way

gotta admit though, I'm actually guilty of this because Clear Sky was the first stalker game I've played

[latent estuary]

"Go here."

Gets mowed down.

"LOL, jk, you were really supposed to go this way"

[twin cairn]

Please ping me or mods when you see this just dealt with

Yep

like EN Wiki saying that "Strelok is one of the first stalkers" even though OG trilogy never gave us the date when he actually entered the Zone, EN Wiki saying that Loki is leader of Freedom even though he just knew its leaders while all of them were on the big land and entered the Zone after Freedom was already formed. tons of such examples

doesn't seem like founder of Freedom to me

The grid of the cage divides your world into before and after, but it's not always bad after, because there can be scary things on the other side

yes you can. its all stalker related and server related questions

just ask there

[gloomy matrix]

This channel is for asking questions about the game Stalker 2, not for making suggestions about the server.

[bitter spruce]

what do you even have a suggestion about

[gloomy matrix]

Do not make suggestions there, it would only disrupt their service.

no its asking gsc about anything

i can tell you for sure though i have asked, many have asked, and have not had an issue

so its up to you vro

[gloomy matrix]

Do what you want

[bitter spruce]

im telling you that

[neon vale]

Youve never played it?

[gloomy matrix]

I had never even heard of stalker before the Xbox announcement, and if it weren't for gamepass I probably wouldn't play it , But now after a few hours of gameplay the game is really fun so I'll probably buy the trilogy when I have money left over.

[neon vale]

Clear sky (the best one) is on sale for like 3 bucks right now

Thats as much as a candy bar

[bitter spruce]

just lay the $10

[gloomy matrix]

Not in my country , Anyway, if I buy it, it will be the trilogy.

[bitter spruce]

how much is it

[neon vale]

8 billion yuan

[gloomy matrix]

50 BRL Normal price, 1 USD=6,05 BRL Approximately

It's not expensive, but it's not like I have the money to just buy it, I usually put it on my Xbox wishlist and buy it when possible.

The 3 together cost 107,99 BRL (70,19 on sale), a good price

[sacred idol]

candy bars cost more... candy is expensive these days

[torn fable]

@gloomy matrix Agree
@steep quarry heh, true

But it's China, so all we can do is make it as good as possible

[sacred idol]

I dont even buy candy in my country

if I want candy I go to Germany

[torn fable]

The cat will also live in a retail envoirment. I could dropship something like this

[steep quarry]

stalker chooses his path

[steep quarry]

several cardboard boxes glued together and the cat has his own Disneyland

[gloomy matrix]

It looks good, as always read the reviews to find out what people think and how their cats reacted.

[steep quarry]

It’s better to read reviews of cats

[torn fable]

Oh no there is no reviews
the cat will be free in the retail enviorment during the day, but the owner wants him to be inside some kind of confinement at night to prevent damage to handmade artisinal embroideries in the store..

[steep quarry]

maybe cats just don't speak Chinese?

[neon vale]

What country

Belgium?

[steep quarry]

bad idea, cat... hand embroidery... claws itched...

[steep quarry]

any country where chocolate is bad and expensive

[torn fable]

That would explain some things..

[neon vale]

So just america and canada?

[steep quarry]

perhaps Poland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Austria?

[neon vale]

Latam chocolate is awesome and ive never heard complaints about european chocolate

[sacred idol]

Denmark

[neon vale]

I forgot people actually live in liechtenstein

[steep quarry]

If you are chugging vodka it is definitely not appreciation

[sacred idol]

San Marino is about a 100 something years old as I recall

[gloomy matrix]

All normal people feel good eating chocolate

[steep quarry]

in northeast Italy

[torn fable]

"city of london" is a special old area of london that has a partially separate government, with some BS going on

[neon vale]

It has existed since roman times iirc

[stray osprey]

I like making my own chocolate shapes

[sacred idol]

The city probably has but the state itself is pretty young

[stray osprey]

Adding own décor on them is fun

[gloomy matrix]

Here they have strong cocoa production in some areas of the country, it is worth it if you have the money to buy it

[neon vale]

The traditional independence date is in september 301

[torn fable]

City of london has it's own little government and is excluded for national taxes, so like a semi-vatican state

[neon vale]

Then it says independence from the papal states in 1291, and a formal constitution in 1600 and 1974

[steep quarry]

Italy became unified in the second half of the 19th century, and before that it was like a patchwork quilt, San Marino is a relic of those times

[torn fable]

italy became unified way before 0!!! ( I am being silly, I know you mean unified in modern times)

[steep quarry]

it's not that expensive

[steep quarry]

then you need to go and grab it

[gloomy matrix]

Much more expensive compared to already processed chocolate

the empire could not be Italy, the empire is states and peoples gathered together, the empire is primarily an idea, not one blood, and I’m talking about unity, as a national state in modern times

[torn fable]

hey did you know some madmen monks walked from rome to china? by foot? And stole some silk worms and hid them in their staves and then walked back

[steep quarry]

@torn fableand in Byzantium lived mainly Greeks, Slavs and Semites

[torn fable]

History has so many great stories they could make games about it forever and barely have anyone writing the story.
Good games lik KCD

[neon vale]

And empire always has a central state and people though

The central people of the roman empire were the latins, who would directly become the italians

[steep quarry]

they honestly offered to buy them, but they were refused, and they stole them

[torn fable]

That's the joke. Rome had fallen but they still considered themselves the great roman empire

[torn fable]

I mean... They should have realized they walked a bit to far to just "say oh ok, ill go home then"

[steep quarry]

they never considered themselves Italians, in Italy there were Romans, Etruscans, Greeks, Samnites and many many others

[gloomy matrix]

KCD?

[steep quarry]

technically it was, they were her

[torn fable]

But they put garum on everything and I imagine it tasted like worstershire but stronger

[torn fable]

Kingdom come deliverence, a medieval RPG similar to obvlivion in how it works

[neon vale]

The etruscans, samnites and others were completely wiped out (barring some greeks) and assimilated into latin culture, the latins would end up becoming italians over centuries

[gloomy matrix]

They are still well known to this day then 🤷

They left a "legacy"

[torn fable]

I mean its not like they were exactly wrong but usually a country or empire folds when the capital falls

[steep quarry]

in the Middle Ages, all spy networks were in one way or another tied to monastic orders and a network of monasteries, because it was the monks who were quite literate, knew languages ​​and customs, had time to prepare and were quite often strong warriors, because many monastic orders were militant

[torn fable]

The quest in KCD where you sign up as monk and are tasked to learn to read and copy books by hand is unsurpisingly quite boring

[gloomy matrix]

Realistic

[steep quarry]

at Hannibal's invasion they rebelled against the Romans admirably, and even at the end of the Western Empire there were still tribal uprisings in Italy itself

[torn fable]

but I swear over all it's grreat- try it if you havent

admirably
wtf a traitor hannibal fanboy????? (Yes im joking again)

[steep quarry]

Previously, the capital, namely the place where the ruler sits, followed its ruler, and not vice versa, in many empires and cultures, and the fall of any city did not end anything

[slender cobalt]

Hi guys

[torn fable]

Hmm I don't really know of many such cases. Specifically where the whole empire of named after the capital city, then the capital falls, yet they consider themselves the [capitals empire]... Maybe it did but I dont know about it
I think with the loss of the capital which the whole empire is named after, it's ruler and parliament/elite, most at least get a new name

[steep quarry]

by the time of the fall of Rome, the capital was in Mediolanum

[steep quarry]

it's like with corporations, they can sell a brand, but the brand itself will make its name, and it doesn't matter who produces it

Yeah, but imagine egypt invaded and took everything to the east up to syria. Then egypt is invaded and all of it is taken by another country. But then the state in syria considers itself egypt and having the pharaoh

Hey

Anyone wanna look at pretty girls

[slender cobalt]

Alrighteh

[steep quarry]

The stalker's gaze caresses only the sight of mutants and zombies

[steep quarry]

and as for the conquered lands by different empires, everything is complicated and depends on the situation

[torn fable]

What if its just a mutant controllin with psi emissions

[steep quarry]

But we don’t know this for sure, do we? Maybe this idea was instilled in us?

so shoot at everything that moves, and a bullet at everything that doesn’t move, just in case

[torn fable]

LMAO actually that makes me think wouldnt it be hillarious if there was fake mutants

[steep quarry]

and in fact, stalkers see each other as mutants and therefore attack everyone

[torn fable]

In some noob zone like dig site in garbage, maybe some crazy guy dresses up in a trench goat and have some things attached to fishing wire, hoping to scare other stalkers to drop their shit
It probably would just end with him shot but it would be funny and kinda realistic for a drunk and high idiot

[steep quarry]

but they beat the crap out of him

[mossy fable]

Witcher 3 with ray tracing is nice

[torn fable]

We cannot know when or if somethinf will be fixed. We're just players. We can just take a guess like "soon' or" a long time"

[steep quarry]

translation difficulties, perhaps

[gloomy matrix]

The next gen update (which was the version I played) is very nice

And the best part is it's free.

[torn fable]

Right now, most of the devs they still have are probably all working on bugfixes

[torn fable]

Many games without RTX look significantly better. RTX is a marketing ploy

[steep quarry]

just like that all his dreams and hopes were shattered

[mossy fable]

I just like how Witcher 3 feel's more alive with Ray tracing

[mossy fable]

Very true it's nice still working on my death march playthrough

[torn fable]

Looks pretty much like normal wither 3 (not great) but RTX is still just a cop-out for devs to make you pay the price for their inability

[gloomy matrix]

😐

[slender cobalt]

Witcher feels like assasin's creed 2 to me for some reason

[gloomy matrix]

I don't know about PC but the differences between the previous game and the next gen patch are notable, and the game is relatively "old"

[slender cobalt]

And by that I mean the vibe, not gameplay and maybe a bit of the graphic style?

[steep quarry]

Now too many people are chasing a beautiful shell, forgetting about what should be inside

[slender cobalt]

What

[gloomy matrix]

I played it, cool and fair difficulty, the others are very simple

[torn fable]

Which NVidia developed because they realized the same cores they need to make for compute in datacenter could be put on consumer GPUs, saving money, and when they push "RTX" libraries to add zero-effort effects (But very big effort for the GPU), they could get a competitive advantage

RTX isn't going to be relevant in the next 5 years just like it hasnt in the past 6, actual ray-tracing takes much more power than any GPU can deliver and Nvidia isn't even improving much generation to generation cause they have no competition and they can use as many chips as they can make to sell to AI datacenters

[simple sage]

hellraiser988 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[mossy fable]

The wolves though are a pain

[torn fable]

While people talk a lot about diminishing returns, we are very far from the point that adding more texure, model and shading detail won't add anything, especially with how little extra performance it takes and how much better games look compared to raytracing which takes exponentially more power while offering graphics you cant even tell from the original, or quite often worse

[gloomy matrix]

Oh yeah, normally I just used the fire signal(yard?) repeatedly.

[mossy fable]

It didn't like the word I used for pain lol

[mossy fable]

I find wolves more dangerous than anything else on death march

[torn fable]

Whats a wolf

[mossy fable]

Something that hunts in packs and will eat you

[torn fable]

Really, i only saw dogs and psychodogs
OH you are talking about witcher.... hahahah

[gloomy matrix]

The game is very fair, you just have to get the oils (normal and improved), the right swords and armor.
Very "canonical" with proper preparation all fights and boss fights are simple

[mossy fable]

@gloomy matrix oh I know it's just the 8 on one with wolves that tends to be an issue especially when they head off screen

[steep quarry]

[wild mulch]

[torn fable]

Well there is a little bit of a problem with that, goth will often include dark pantyhose or even net stockings, both which are quite taboo in china

the ritual

[steep quarry]

Why? Can't everyone wear whatever they want?

[wild mulch]

Weird looking cats
But cute nontheless

[bitter spruce]

Well i suppose they can but they have some things that are a indication of being a sex worker

[wild mulch]

Omg
Cat

[bitter spruce]

they execute you for speaking against the dictator

also if you're on the Internet past your curfew

[outer moon]

xi is just a friendly party leader

He just wants to party.

[torn fable]

I find it quite strange because here wearing dark pantyhose would be considered a bit more modest than bare legs, but somehow it's considered quite vulgar there.

[steep quarry]

you depend very much on the opinions of others, as I understand it, and try to be like everyone else

[bitter spruce]

its true

[stray osprey]

winnie the poo is uninvited to this party

[gloomy matrix]

If If she were holding a cat she would be an excellent choice of wife.

[outer moon]

Well known, actually, don't wear that in China

[bitter spruce]

no communists allowed!!

[stray osprey]

[outer moon]

At least if chinese and not a hooker

[torn fable]

Agreed but dont have any pic with paopao(the cat) in this outfit

Xiaojie on IG

[outer moon]

I haven't killed anyone in over 35 years so it wasn't me.

[rotund horizon]

Omg,cat

[torn fable]

Oh not me but operating within china and with chinese people such things are aparently important
yk what xiaojie means right?

[steep quarry]

everyone says that

[outer moon]

I retired in '95, my killing days are over.

[steep quarry]

Well, in my country everyone is an individualist, on the one hand it’s difficult, but on the other it’s not very boring

[mossy fable]

Oh I know I had cats that were indoor and outdoor

[bitter spruce]

[torn fable]

小 xiao = small, 嘿 jie = sister. But it doesn't mean little sister. That is xiao mei. In the old time they would use xiaojie for service workers like waitresses, but now it means female sex worker

Cremation which they botched and ditched the ashes as they were supposed to call us and never did

[wild mulch]

[bitter spruce]

[lament zealot]

There’s more than one?

[gloomy matrix]

It's a girl apparently, in any case she's a bundle of cuteness

[steep quarry]

Half the time those clowns just give you random ashes.

Our neibours had a huve furnance, that could cremate even small cows

[mossy fable]

They looked into there computer and said oh yeah we were supposed to call I'm sorry I'm like bruh how tf does the I'm sorry cut not doing your job

[lament zealot]

Tone the heat down a bit and you’ve got a whole cow roast 🤤

[torn fable]

Yes the girl I like posting is a girl yes I guarantee

[steep quarry]

and bad neighbors?

[mossy fable]

Someone mentioned i could have sued but honestly it wouldn't have brought my cat back

[pastel ingot]

Sorry for your cat 😪 once I hat a cat too. She was 23 Years old as she died. I think it was the oldest (but simply the best) cat on the world.

[bitter spruce]

gotdam!

[mossy fable]

Both of mine died back to back this year

[outer moon]

AFU Forma?

[lament zealot]

Huh? The Forma were mutuals with

[mossy fable]

That one that was supposed to be cremated was the younger one he died at 16 the oldest was like 24 or 25

[gloomy matrix]

What girl am I talking about Xiaojie

She really is a cutie

[mossy fable]

this was the older one

[outer moon]

I think he was in my clan for WT? Or another.

[torn fable]

Oh no. The best neibours anyone ever had. Always very kind and accepting, quite traditionalist christians but accepting of everyone, they had 1 disabled child of their own but adopted another. Invited everyone to holiday dinners. They helped my mom with so many things. Probably best people I ever met. but the woman got diabetes and organs failed, causing them a lot of suffering

[gloomy matrix]

Cute and chubby cat

[gloomy matrix]

To live is to suffer

[torn fable]

Who is xiaojie? it's kind of like saying "sister" in chinese, hard to know who you mean

[mossy fable]

He went via 2 strokes and blood loss after falling from the second stroke and smacking his fang through his tongue

Nothing we could do around here as no one would treat him because we don't have a animal hospital that's an actual animal hospital

[lament zealot]

That’s wild, I hopped on WF years ago after years of inactivity and he invited me to his server (dead now lol)

[gloomy matrix]

The name of the cutie I use as pfp

[outer moon]

First is Fisher, second is Le' Orange.. Fishe died.

[mossy fable]

He died June that was Bobo, Bear died in September from cancer aka leukemia

[steep quarry]

[gloomy matrix]

People name cats after things, my cat's name is Mel=Honey(English translation, but it's a name so it doesn't make sense to translate)

[pastel ingot]

I know, its very rough to talk about it now... But i think the Offtopic is the only forum i can post it. 😑 The Stalker Madness has arrived my brain. So i need MOOOOOORRREEE.

Does anyone see a STALKER XBOX Series X-Skin to buy ? I only found one for PS5 😅

[torn fable]

My lovely cat ear, MIA in the zone (probably found wish granter)

[outer moon]

Warframe! I used to play with him yeARS AGO!

[gloomy matrix]

🙏

[mossy fable]

Kinda tough seeing Bear consistently hungry while just deteriorating

[gloomy matrix]

Cute

[mossy fable]

He got cat food and human food and would gain no weight and acted like he was never fed

[torn fable]

He was a un-castrated male so he would go on raids and wild missions, gone for days a country side cat like that... I guess one day he found what he was looking for one way or another

[outer moon]

lE' oRANGE EATS LIKE THAT AND STAYS SKINNY, HE IS VERY OLD.

[lament zealot]

Small world

[mossy fable]

Bobo was scared of going outside Bear he would wonder about but always come back so Bear I was never worried about

[torn fable]

A death while out adventuring is not a bad one, not something we need to super sad about like soccer moms

[mossy fable]

Honestly Bobo died in my arms and I had to snap myself out of it to go to work

[torn fable]

Aww. That's terrible to have work right after. I only had one die in my arms... ok 2 but I repress the first memory. She was nearly 20 and didnt seem to mind, it was just kind of her time

[wild mulch]

Omg
Cat

[mossy fable]

Where I worked they sold cat food and stuff

So it made it more rough

[steep quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/hiqs-gif-23474002

That's so bad couldnt you boss cut you some slack 😭

[mossy fable]

I didn't cut myself slack they said I could go home I chose not to

😔

[mossy fable]

I even walked to work I had plenty of time to make the decision but I felt going to work was more important

Came back and buried him at a buddy's

They don't know how I managed to whip myself into the mindset of working within 6 hours or less

[neon vale]

@rotund horizon

[bitter spruce]

frank

[torn fable]

you did well anyway

[mossy fable]

They knew something was off immediately though as since I normally arrive 30 minutes before my shift i normally try catching up on what's going on but I immediately went to the back room for a moment

[steep quarry]

[bitter spruce]

weaver keeps telling me to tell you to stop calling him

[mossy fable]

Basically I went from being silent for 30 minutes to flipping a switch and acting like nothing ever happened

[torn fable]

Well we gotta learn to mask
We like stalker I think it's a indicator that you're not exactly normal

[mossy fable]

Honestly what I exactly do doesn't feel the same as it used to

Whatever I did he was basically there with me so not exactly the same

[steep quarry]

why is this?

[neon vale]

he better pay me back or ill gouge his other eye out

[bitter spruce]

talk to marshall or something I dont care to be in the middle of this

or sev, she has a lot of money

[torn fable]

Not like anyone studied it, but stalker has always been deeply psychologically about going into unexplored, dangerous territory in search of [what you wish for] which normal people never dare, then, not only that but we also need to be resistant to psychological manipulation as stalkers which normal people are not, easily being zombified

[steep quarry]

Entire generations of gamers have grown up with stalkers, in our country it’s a whole subculture, and the Zone is not far

[mossy fable]

Example do I enjoy this stuff still yes but is it the same definitely not he normally sat there and watched me do this stuff

[bitter spruce]

@neon vale also how's the wound healing

[torn fable]

Nice. Not common in WEU. And I think not really in US either, but recently a lot more customers
I saw a stalker cosplayer in 2012 though... Wait no must be earlier

[bitter spruce]

any kettle chip fans in the chat

[steep quarry]

They just don’t understand all this, they need to live it themselves, and not see it in the game

@torn fableI still remember the black snow in winter, which was with radiation from Chernobyl

[mossy fable]

Basically this is me working on tech

[torn fable]

Shirt thats crazy

[mossy fable]

Working on tech isn't the same anymore

Ends up just being another reminder that he's not around

[torn fable]

Here he is, guy cosplaying stalker, august 2010

It was just weebs otherwise so stood out pretty well

[rotund horizon]

Me fr

[steep quarry]

cats live 9 lives, just go to the shelter and take the kitten that your heart points to, give another happy life to the poor guy who was unlucky

[neon vale]

what country are you

[torn fable]

Heck at this point maybe he is here

[steep quarry]

looks more like a German in the First World War

[neon vale]

i swear my guess changes every hour

[mossy fable]

Honestly I'm probably never getting another cat still have not completely come to terms yet kinda lost a lot within the last few years

[torn fable]

Yeh but you take what you get

[bitter spruce]

this is not a stalker cosplay

[torn fable]

obviously 14 years ago but iirc he was actually a stalker

[mossy fable]

Lost my grandmother in 22 lost my step grandfather in 23 and lost both of my cats this year

[steep quarry]

oh, I'm from Ukraine

[torn fable]

You know him?

[bitter spruce]

look at it

[gloomy matrix]

It would be cool to have a cat in stalker (a normal cat)

I saw the Amazon zombie movie (the last one) it was really cool, one of the main characters is a cat

[neon vale]

tbh it doesnt look much like stalker, looks more like a world war 2 reenactor

[steep quarry]

This is the Krieg death squad

[wild mulch]

Thats what I wanted to say

[raw orchid]

Agreed. Doesn't gives stalker vibes

[torn fable]

Bro it's 2010 all cosplays were a mess we took what we had I made some stuff out of pringles cans. It doesn't matter if he doesn't look just like a guy in the game, what matters is if he was in the game we wouldnt look out of place (if he was less clean)

[mossy fable]

Anyone I have mentioned how much loss I had to within barely 3 years said wow

[torn fable]

Sure many things to be desired but I sure didnt see a lot of people liking stalker back then

[steep quarry]

grieving and not moving forward, you lose yourself

[neon vale]

im gonna do a bandit cosplay when i finally get the motivation to

[torn fable]

I also want to

[neon vale]

its freezing out now though so maybe ill wait for spring

bandit would be pretty easy, just a gas mask, trench coat, some spray paint, and some thug wear

[mossy fable]

Honestly I'm just getting by

[torn fable]

But uhm... Most stalker suits look a bit bad.. Not like bad in the game, but ugly if you were to wear it

[steep quarry]

three Adidas stripes, a cap, sneakers and a cigarette behind the ear, and a purse

[torn fable]

If you had a real good lathe and CNC bro you could make a hella real exoskeleton

[neon vale]

its less of the suit and more of the helmet

[torn fable]

As we say here. "levels of suffering are constant".

[mossy fable]

Honestly combine all of that with my deteriorating health lol

[rotund horizon]

can't belive I leveled up cuz of Don Quixote

[raw orchid]

"It is what it is" is best medicine imho

[rotund horizon]

don't mind the red dead redemption server

[torn fable]

Yeah "it is what is it is" is essentially the same as "levels of suffering are consistent" but when I say that sometimes people make a big deal out of it

[torn fable]

What even 837 items do you want to buy for $32'000 each
Amazon mostly has stuff resold from alibaba anyway

[steep quarry]

Top was before bottom is after

[torn fable]

You want 837 mac pros? Cant play stalker on that bro.

[neon vale]

[mossy fable]

The modchip has its own OS but you can see some of the upgrades I added

[steep quarry]

these are her colors

[torn fable]

whomst

[mossy fable]

Like RTC expansion is a real time clock mod that's way better than the clock capacitor and the 128MB RAM is an upgrade

[raw orchid]

Bro why are you choking the poor thing?

[neon vale]

thats how you grab them

[torn fable]

Ok a little bit serious I want a radiometer that has a nice click

[steep quarry]

I got her out of the net and let her go, I just held her so that she wouldn’t hurt herself

[torn fable]

You know any on aliexpress?

[raw orchid]

I wouldn't even grab them, they'd come to me instead. Cuz I'm built different

[torn fable]

I dont want my radiometer sounding beep like a nomaly detector

[neon vale]

like a geiger counter?

[mossy fable]

how the real time clock mod arrived

[torn fable]

Yes geiger counter I thought in english its also called radiometer

[raw orchid]

Aha got it. Thanks for helping her then
