[twin timber]

I was using a mp7 for a while and one of the rock lickers dropped the special p90

With the laser

And then another one dropped the custom groza that has a 60 mag

[elder fog]

[twin timber]

Then when i finally won the rainbow emitter raid there was a group outside and one of the fuckers had the better PKM

Shame all of them were completely fucked so i'll have to wait until expert to fix the nice weapons

[oblique quest]

Which has WHAT NOW!?

[twin timber]

Yup

Groza thunder

I think you can get it from nimble

With a regular ass groza and a buttload of money

Laser sight, 60 bullet mag AND an integrated grenade launcher

I couldn't ask for a better gun

[sick yoke]

groza storm

[twin timber]

Oh yeah ur right

It's really funny that pripyat has way less radiation than radar

[oblique quest]

Oh cool, the Sphere I bought from Spore earlier was the Sphere-12.

Probably why it cost me 115k~.

[twin timber]

I wish i had 115k

The tiny little thermal scope costs this much

wait actually it's a thermal SIGHT

Not even a scope

[autumn fractal]

почему я не могу кидать скриншот

[oblique quest]

Actually, I had like 300k 'cause I already had 190k~ and then got a 130k payout from this task.

[prisma pumice]

is there any way to import Anomaly assets onto 3DsMax?

my map is done i just have to add objects and convert it

[oblique quest]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion ?

[prisma pumice]

oh didnt know there was a dedicated channel tHNAKS!

[twin timber]

The FUCK how are you getting paid so much

I barely get like, 8k per task

I'm using the groza as a literal grenade launcher

Since it's broken af and there's a lot of pseudogiants around

[trim sentinel]

Do companions need ammo for the weapons you give them?

I would assume yes

[oblique quest]

The quest from Hip for turning in three specific artifacts to Sid is worth hella cash.

[hidden heron]

https://i.imgur.com/9Esq7OE.jpeg

[twin timber]

Nah

They have infinite ammo

For Any weapon

[trim sentinel]

Yo, AK50 here yo go pal

[snow jackal]

Difficulty affects payouts

[twin timber]

However i think they don't use ap ammo

[hidden heron]

how does one make the img show up?

[twin timber]

I tried giving a gun with ap bullets equipped to my guy and he reloaded it the second i turned my back

That bastard

[snow jackal]

Disabled for reasons

People can still click the link to see

[hidden heron]

ah... crap... i bet some people ruined it because they just had to post nsfw or gross shit

[oblique quest]

True. Although I'm playing on hard/hard. But I also have a skill which is giving me 15% more task payout.

[trim sentinel]

What about armor? can I give them a spare Nosrog?

[hidden heron]

https://i.imgur.com/9Esq7OE.jpeg look at how many military there were in dark valley.... wtf is this normal?

i usually have 5 max

[twin timber]

Nah

They don't equip armors

[trim sentinel]

damn

[twin timber]

Unless you enable the mod that does that on mo2

But it's buggy af

[oblique quest]

Did you increase your stalker population value?

[trim sentinel]

they both got exos so it's fine, three renegades in exosuits, hell

[twin timber]

Grenade

[oblique quest]

But yeah, there are usually at least half a dozen or so hanging out there.

[twin timber]

The solution to exos is grenade

[trim sentinel]

[hidden heron]

havent touched it at all, none of the world settings in fact

[trim sentinel]

I can't hear you over the sound of my servos

[hidden heron]

there is a total of 12 military corpses now, damn

[oblique quest]

Not enough

[trim sentinel]

Lastly will they use meds I shove into their pockets?

[oblique quest]

I think they have their own?

[trim sentinel]

But if I give them better meds, will they use them? like scientific stimpacks?

[hidden heron]

Guys did grok mention what is coming in the next big update?

[oblique quest]

Uhh....

G3s?

[hidden heron]

huh? whats a g3?

[dusk vessel]

G3 the german battle rifle

[twin timber]

Aight, i found strelok's crib in hotel polissya

Got the decoder and his sketchbook

I can even sleep here

Gonna take a nap in pripyat

[oblique quest]

🐶💥🐶🐶🐺

Just another morning in Rostok.

Walk up to Dutier
Ask for task
Bring 3 marijuanas

[hidden heron]

ball-peen hammer? more like smol-peen hammer amirite?

[lethal patrol]

sweet, nabbed a hybrid armored from a sinner

[hidden heron]

damn this reminds me i should go search for one

[oblique quest]

Yeah, Barkeep totally sells all 4. The bootleg vodka in the metal flask, Stolichnaya in the flask with a cover, Nemiroff in the dark bottle, and Putinka in the light bottle.

Also, Nemiroff costs, like, half what I remembered it did

Get a bottle of that shit for like 1.2k~, which makes basic tools even cheaper than I thought.

[lethal patrol]

[snow jackal]

Is it specifically barkeep? Every vendor I talk to only has regular vodka

I hate going to Rostok

[snow jackal]

Unless I’m just totally missing it

[oblique quest]

I imagine every food vendor (other than Spirit).

So, say, Librarian and Skinflint probably do as well, for example.

[snow jackal]

So beard would have it right

[oblique quest]

Should.

[snow jackal]

I guess I’ll check him again when I’m home

[waxen plinth]

you can convert one type to another... somehow for whatever reason

they ARE used in different recipes though, so I guess it's useful? I mostly only use vodka early game (because Swamps) and to get cheap machinegun ammo

[hidden heron]

i just found out today that grok added an enemy marking upgrade to the binoculars... its something i actually thought of would be cool like a year ago or so

[snow jackal]

You can’t create stolichnaya

You can only create regular vodka

But stolichnaya is needed specifically for some crafts which is why I’m looking for a good source of it

[south stump]

Wait binos are useful now?

[tawdry flare]

bruh, found a way to make the game run in my potato pc in DX11 and more than 50 fps, but my head hurts after messing for hours with configs

[south stump]

Knife binos axe aks tac
Sounds like a peak build to me

[tawdry flare]

but, now i can use 3d scopes and the NVG shaders without issues

[coarse grail]

How can i get psy helmet now since i cant buy it from sakharov?

[snow jackal]

Did u kill him or something

[coarse grail]

no he just doesnt give me the option to buy it :/

[snow jackal]

You have to talk to him a bit before you can ask to buy it

If u try all the dialogue and he still won’t sell it then idk

[coarse grail]

exhausted all dialogue but no option to buy

ahhh

[snow jackal]

Did you accidentally start with the story disabled?

[tawdry flare]

#╭📖faq message

I remember that Faq, try to follow the bot commands part of that

[hidden heron]

THERE IS APPARENTLY ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING IT

one of the scientists that walks around in the swampy lake might drop it if you kill him

however i've heard you cant do it with a headshot but thats not confirmed

[tawdry flare]

ou, save scum on that one

[hidden heron]

yeah save scum that trick cause its not a guaranteed drop apparently

also entire yantar will try to kill you afterwards

[waxen plinth]

not if you get something like +1500 rep with scientists first

[lethal patrol]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/708725223817740301/1415040449126727842/image.png?ex=68c1c29d&is=68c0711d&hm=ff8e2215275a5193e850f88b2702a0bda3d78933eee30f46915627f2a2c66e79& man, not this sprinting animation with the rd74n

[trim sentinel]

Does the zoom function for the thermal scope not work on the Fish 2000 "Competitor"?

[shadow juniper]

i lk love this animation. makes me feel hard af. goes great with noso stomps

[oblique quest]

I do like the funny call of duty sprint, but moreso with SMGs, maybe bullpups. With bigger/longer guns it just feels weird.

[lethal patrol]

^

[shadow juniper]

in my mind it's logical to do the vertical sprint with long ass heavy-ish guns, almost looks like leaning the barrel on shoulder

[oblique quest]

In my experience moving quickly while holding long, heavy objects a more neutral stance holding it closer to the core is better.

Like, unironically butt down, tip up like you're doing a fucking musket charge.

[shadow juniper]

idk, i just find it logical to take weight off everything by just leaning it on shoulder.

[tidal basalt]

is there a hud mod that lays flat in the bottom?

[twin timber]

Damn, how i LOVE this rsh-12 revolver

It's such an upgrade from the rex

I can kill stalkers wild west style now even if they have helmets

[proper drum]

i've got the green barrel one today like 1h in the game to die 10 minutes later to the double ambush wanna try it once

[twin timber]

Doing ironman?

[proper drum]

i always play 1 life

[twin timber]

Hardcore

[proper drum]

then go and cry how game is broken to kill me with colission or no footsteps

[twin timber]

I'm doing my final invictus run

[proper drum]

by final you mean?

[coarse grail]

Ok i think my run is just dead since sakharov wont sell helmet no matter what

https://imgur.com/a/zZnFOAe

i just get this text but i don't know how to resolve that issue for him haha

[snow jackal]

Did you by any chance uncheck the story mode box before starting the game

Without realizing

[proper drum]

that's not the line

the line is "tell me about miracle machine"

[coarse grail]

im pretty sure i didnt because i didnt touch anyhting but difficulty setting

[coarse grail]

there is no option for that which is weird

in previous playthrough i had that

[proper drum]

whom do you play

[snow jackal]

Did you speak to Sid or Dushman and get the main story going

[coarse grail]

Loner

[snow jackal]

So Sid

[coarse grail]

I havent this playthrough but that never stopped me from getting it before?

[proper drum]

there's no need to start the story line for this line

[coarse grail]

i guess i can try that

[snow jackal]

It’s a matter of checking if story is enabled at all

Because if story is disabled you won’t be able to get the helmet

[coarse grail]

Ive searched the server and realized other people have same issue sometimes

idk

i saw 5-6 other people with same problem of not being able to get the dialogue at all

[coarse grail]

I am getting story missions to proc otherwise

[snow jackal]

Literally just go talk to Sid and if you can’t start the story, you fucked up. If you can start it, then something is bugged yeah

[coarse grail]

like i can take story missions from other npc's

[snow jackal]

Other NPCs ok but what about the main lost to the zone questline

Did you start and do quests for that one

[clever acorn]

is there any semi auto mag fed shotty that shoots 23x75 or can be upgraded to it?

[south stump]

No the Russians weren't that crazy

The ks is wild enough isn't it?
A 23mm anti aircraft gun barrel isn't enough for you?

[blissful ivy]

not really

[coarse grail]

Looks like you are right after all

[blissful ivy]

i want more

i want 40k bolter by the end of this decade

[south stump]

True, just give us a zsu truck

[coarse grail]

@snow jackal ty sir, i guess i will just start a new run (hobo stage euphoria)

[clever acorn]

i'm currently working on my "kill a house" build :3

yeah ig i'll go for the KS when i find onw, tyy

[snow jackal]

Unfortunate but yeah sometimes people accidentally uncheck the box

[coarse grail]

Eh its not that bad, i was only playing for one day so i didnt get super far

starting new run right now with toz 106

and leather jacket

[hard grotto]

I noticed the Swine suppressor doesn’t fit the ks23 or chimera hunter. what is it for? As far as I know those are the only 23mm in the game.

[hushed pier]

[twin timber]

Found a mod that's absolutely essential to gamma https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/batmobile-hip-replacer

[frigid gyro]

... a bat mobile ... not a pack mule or a wet towel ... seems inefficient

[twin timber]

I'm in desperate need of a decent gas mask or helmet but these damn stalkers are only dropping armors

Getting more radioactive than an instagram e-girl

How am i supposed to go north without even a heavy mask

[tawdry flare]

should i have enough ammo for whatever i find on the BS with a deagle with 100 rounds, a P90 with 550 ap ammo, and a remington 700 "Mod X gen.3" with 109 ball rounds and 70 ap rounds, right?

[dusk vessel]

the remington alone is enough

109 ball and 70 ap

[tawdry flare]

with my skill issue i'll see u.u

[waxen plinth]

rad resistance arts? More smokes?

[twin timber]

Artifact hunting without a decent mask?

I don't think so...

[twin timber]

It would be better to get there with an AK or some other rifle

There will be many heavily armored monos there that AP pistol ammo won't handle that well

Hope your aim is good with that remington

[dusk vessel]

id use the remington for the road

and then P50 for inside bs

deagle is just backup at that point

[tawdry flare]

yeah, deagle is more for any mutant i find in the way, i was thinking P90 for CQC and everything else remington

[dusk vessel]

it has quite good ap for being hp

most mono dont have that good armour

[tawdry flare]

im going with only ap rounds in the p90, the one that has 40 in pen

[dusk vessel]

damn

thats expensive as fuck

are you doing invictidus?

[tawdry flare]

it was kinda hard to make more than 550 but just in case

[dusk vessel]

the guns you have are enough for the whole cnpp

[tawdry flare]

nope, i just don't trust in my skill xD

[twin timber]

Does anyone know the SSS settings to make reflex sights stop blinding me with NVG on?

I've tried changing things around a bit but amounted to nothing

[tawdry flare]

i would go with an ak, but the last one i got in kinda good condition got... urh... let's say i should have repaired that long time ago xD

[twin timber]

UBGL is your best friend

Monos love to bundle together and rush you

[dusk vessel]

40 ap is a lot

you only need fmj rifle rounds for bs

those got around 30

[twin timber]

Ye but remember, monos have innate damage reduction

[scenic trench]

what?
no they dont
since when

[twin timber]

Because dealing with them all using AP ammo wasn't annoying enough

[tawdry flare]

isn't sin the one with innate damage reduction?

[opaque moss]

you need a green reticle

[twin timber]

You know the "shield" thing sinners have? theirs are just a little bit stronger

[scenic trench]

and the unicycle

[proven raptor]

loud incorrect buzzing sound!!!!!!!!!!

[twin timber]

Monos also have that

[scenic trench]

the rocklickers dont have that

[twin timber]

A lot of the reflex sights are impossible to see anything with NVG on, which ones work?

[proven raptor]

ok nvm apparently it's true

20%

never knew that

[twin timber]

Yup

[opaque moss]

no clue tbh, i just know that you need a green reticle like the eotech or a very thin red dot

[twin timber]

Their STRONG FAITH in rock christ makes damage smaller

Ah man, i think i'll just stop going out at night

[tawdry flare]

didn't know about that 20% damage reduction, well gonna pack some more remington ammo and heals

[small ermine]

Even with that 20
They fold super fast if you do hit them

[tawdry flare]

keyword, hit, i miss 90% of the time xD

[small ermine]

Just click on em harder

[tawdry flare]

gonna try u.u (already got folded in the barrier defense)

[small ermine]

Hide behind rocks
Rocks are friends

[tawdry flare]

2 monolithis went up to my position and blasted me point blank

[small ermine]

Mag dump in cqc

[sick yoke]

all 3 of the hostile north factions have some amount of damage/ap reduction

the damage reduction barely even matters though except for sin cause of how ridiculous the headshot multi is

[twin timber]

As much as i hate to admit, the 5.7 guns are good to deal with armored targets

...If they're like, VERY close that is

Hitting a lot of hits from like, medium distance is TERRIBLE with them

[dusk vessel]

high rof

low recoil

high enough ap

[shadow juniper]

umm, wtf, can anyone explain this to me?

https://streamable.com/b9xxun

[twin timber]

FN five-seven >>>

Grok even added the laser sight kit to it that i wanted so much

[quasi python]

"Hey Donnie! I could use some help back here!... This a two man job!"

[quasi python]

I own one IRL

My fav pistol

[twin timber]

Rich fuck

How does it feel to shoot gold

[quasi python]

Yea they sell guns on military bases here in Florida AND the dude was having a sale.

[twin timber]

Damn, nice

[dusk vessel]

its more the ammo thats expensive on the 57

[twin timber]

In this shithole i live in

[tawdry flare]

that one has extra damage against poor people isn't it(?

[twin timber]

I have to pay thousands

Fuck gun control laws, dude

They only help the criminals

[quasi python]

Yea I farm XP on poors, but there is barely any homeless crackheads here in Panama City... They all in California lel

[quasi python]

I'll be ordering a SCAR once I come out of debt from the 5 7

[twin timber]

Funny thing is

[quasi python]

Meh

[brisk warren]

anyone know why my game looks like this all of a sudden? https://i.imgur.com/IjWkCMW.jpeg

[twin timber]

Here handguns are like, 10x the price they are supposed to cost

And bigger guns are their supposedly normal price

[brisk warren]

the weird tree lighting

[quasi python]

You live in a dumbacrat state?

[twin timber]

Imagine paying 4000 on a regular standard taurus pistol

And 1500 on a literal hunting rifle

This country is a joke

[twin timber]

Yes

[dusk vessel]

at least you get to own them at all, without having to go through a few years of trouble and hundrets of euros

but when do you pass it you can own a dmr no problem

[twin timber]

Oh that's also a requirement

Gotta get a loicense to own

[quasi python]

Yea I feel ya man. Used to be stationed in Cali and gun laws are dookie there

[twin timber]

Then another loicense to carry outside of the house

Both of these processes cost thousands

And they also have the choice to deny you the licenses if they want to

[quasi python]

They just do a background search on a laptop AT the gun shop here 🤠

[quasi python]

Yea bro the central and the south is the place to live. Much better than western US.

[feral warren]

Only red reticles work because Beef's NVG is like that. Also, play with the gain sliders in MCM.

[twin timber]

I'm not murican unfortunately

[quasi python]

MURICAN

[dusk vessel]

me neither

[twin timber]

Already did

[quasi python]

Oof

It's all g. Every country is fucked rn.

[twin timber]

Had to put the offset to 0.5 and the threshhold in 0.9 to not get blinded by every light source

[dusk vessel]

true

germany is beyond fucked

[twin timber]

Germany is becoming a third world country real fast

[dusk vessel]

it is what it is type moment

[quasi python]

I got a German friend. He loves shooting guns here.

[twin timber]

Y'all already got the extremely corrupt government that hates it's native population down

[dusk vessel]

that ones in charge rn

[twin timber]

With the Afd candidates dying in droves? i dunno about that, chief

[quasi python]

Meh I think the media really blows things up in the US.

[twin timber]

Oh wait you said charge not change, nevermind

[dusk vessel]

not the chat for this anyway

[quasi python]

True

Good talk

[twin timber]

I just wanted to own a sig p226, man

[quasi python]

ANYWAYS GUNS

[twin timber]

My fav pistol

It's so good looking

[dusk vessel]

ill prefer a usp always

[twin timber]

The government denies me my excalibur

[quasi python]

If I couldn't own the 5 7, the FNX is my next fav.

[twin timber]

Huh, i thought they had stopped making these

[dusk vessel]

speaking of not long ago the german gov seized all opposition members guns

[quasi python]

Nah they still sell

[twin timber]

Yeah i remember that

[quasi python]

Germany is becoming England

[dusk vessel]

nah

its even worse here. nobody has the balls to say anything or protest

were that far gone

england is at least fighting back

[quasi python]

Yea but Germans are still cool. British people make it a priority to fight Americans lol

[twin timber]

The germans i know are just rude and annoying fucks

[quasi python]

I was on one of their bases and they LOVED talking shit and trying to fight us.

[twin timber]

But that must be just tourists

[quasi python]

Yea probably.

Tourists are never a good representation of a country.

[opaque moss]

for me its the complete opposite ngl

[dusk vessel]

its gonna depend

most germans are very chilled

[snow jackal]

Mein Gott

[quasi python]

Yea I like germs

[twin timber]

Apply alcohol

[dusk vessel]

i like being german but im seeing my country fall apart before my eyes and there is nothing i can do

[quasi python]

My germ friend loves everything I love. He's gonna fly to Florida soon to shoot guns and alligators

[twin timber]

Damn what did the lizards do

They're just chilling

[quasi python]

It'll pull through in time.

[quasi python]

Nah fuck spicy lizards.

Sneaky bois

[opaque moss]

not them gators

[quasi python]

Yea I told my buddy that wants to start fishing, I'll come, but I'm bringing my SCAR

If I see something big in the water move I'm blastin

[twin timber]

Just don't fall in their mouth and you're good

[dusk vessel]

they arent crocodiles

theyre mostly chill unless u annoy them or make a mistake

[quasi python]

They got water noodles here too but I haven't seen any

water danger noodle

[boreal isle]

anyway to make warfare less laggy?

https://gyazo.com/bfde3b85d0c2772bf808307b4d4d9fe7

curious what those mods do

[proven raptor]

rewrite the engine

[boreal isle]

F

[blissful ivy]

warfare sucks anyways ngl

[mint copper]

warfare is the only real way to play, monolith warfare all day

[blissful ivy]

no, im gonna just murder your kind

damn fanatics

[mint copper]

monolith never dies

[blissful ivy]

youd be surprised

[small ermine]

no they really dont die

[timber nimbus]

monolith forever in our hearts

[quasi python]

Is there a way to see how many lives you have or if you gained a life?

[coarse grail]

Why would anyone ever want to play as a monocuck

[quasi python]

Mercgang

[coarse grail]

I like mercs for the patch lootbox thingy

But thats about it

Loners are the real gigachads

[quasi python]

I like killing for money

And good guns

And the ACE SEVA

[coarse grail]

Loners are the stalker equivalent of playing a human warrior in rpg's

As god intended

[quasi python]

Boners

[coarse grail]

It do be like that sometimes

[quasi python]

Guys how do I call in an f22s to shoot down this heli

I know one of my Merc pals has a CIA contact

[radiant star]

pda > radio > airstrike

(use hp against it, its just a big mutant)

[half folio]

someone know how to make all stashes in debug visible on map?

or how to delete all items in all stashes

[snow jackal]

lol did u hit the item limit or something

[half folio]

no, i have rn ~46k, but want optimize it and delete unused things

and i everytime see "you have this items in your stashes "count"" but its not match with my stash, its say i have 10 parts but when i look in statsh i just have 3 parts

[snow jackal]

yes that means u placed 7 meat in manually placed stash or stashes across the zone

theyre somewhere lmao

item reporting for quests only includes manual made stashes and not static ones, so youd need a command or something to show all those, dont know if that exists

[hybrid pelican]

since gamma can be a bit grindy, what keeps the game fun for you when you are doing the more common and uninteresting tasks? Like running from this base to that base. Grinding quests early. Stuff like that

[tawdry flare]

i took my time going to BS, and it's easier than before, it's the inside the same as before the latests versions of gamma or did it got changed too?

[blissful ivy]

its just not hard

or you spontaneously got 20% better at game

or you got more gear than you needed

[coarse grail]

I try to be sneaky and tactical. In the past i never used mines and IED's because i used to just sell them for cash.

But now i would find a point i cant defend and place mines where j think enemies would pathfind towards.

And also sneaking around and headshotting people almost point blank is fun

[tawdry flare]

nah, it's just too little monos, i remember in the first roadblock in radar getting blasted by at least 5 monos, then in the bus stop there was another group, now i barely found 2 monos before getting up to the mono camp

[snow jackal]

can confirm did bs a few days ago, road up to radar was sparse as fuck

[coarse grail]

As far as grind goes, idk i dont mind it honestly. Stashes are lootboxes for my monkey brain. I feel engaged with the grind cause it rewards us with loot often

[tawdry flare]

i was expecting some pain in the road, but or now almost nothing (tho i already found 4 monos near the camp)

[snow jackal]

inside is tougher at least without quicksaving

[tawdry flare]

then i did good bringin 600 ap for the p90 and all of my meds (5 red medkits, 4 bandages, 1 yadulin and 2 ibuprofen )

not even inside and already got my head damaged

holy sh*t got 3 shoted by one monolith inside the bs

[hybrid pelican]

are we allowed to speak of other stalker games?

are we gonna get smited by the moderation staff?

[snow jackal]

people talk about efp all the time so probably as long as ur not shilling any scams

[hybrid pelican]

nah

i tried stalcraft these days

and i wanted to say if anyone else has had experience with it

i like the modularity of the weapons there. gamma has basically nothing like that

[tawdry flare]

i have like 2k hours there, it's a good game but sometimes the grind can be a real pain, take it slow there

well not 2k, more like 1,2k

[hybrid pelican]

i just got my 70 hours and i finished the story. i'm in the north section but my gear is severly low

i just have a +7 tishina

indeed the grind can be tougher than in gamma

but it scratches a massive itch i had for multiplayer/coop gamma

or rather stalker

[blissful ivy]

its shit

[hybrid pelican]

it has no similarities to gamma

[blissful ivy]

nothing but a time sink

wastes your time for a long time just to get anywhere

playing 200 hours to progress? yeah no im good

i mean playing shadow of war for 200 hours is much better, since im actually having fun with the grind

but stalcraft? bro going to the same areas for the same shit

for ages is misery

also the PvE content is just worse than SoC somehow

the "chimera" is just bullshit, since its just fast as all fuck

[hybrid pelican]

well what i dislike is that there is 0 incentive to ever return to the south ever

[tawdry flare]

well, it's more of a pvp focused game

[hybrid pelican]

and the AI is really bad

[blissful ivy]

thats not even good

its the fact

thats the fucking gameplay SUCKS ASS

PvP sucks, PvE sucks, the fucking grind sucks

its just all-round not a great experience as is

[tawdry flare]

can't argue about the grind, it sucks

[blissful ivy]

and the artifacts? dont get me fucking started

getting a detector requires HOURS OF GRUELING BULLSHIT

JUST TO GET IT

[carmine cypress]

stalcraft is like communism, it works and is perfect in theory but not in practice

[blissful ivy]

otherwise, its just not fun to look for shit

[tawdry flare]

dont remind me the artifacts, they just reworked most of them and what i had is definetly fcked up

[blissful ivy]

no its not

its shit in theory

its shit on paper

its shit in practice

its just shit

i stand by my opinion and claim

[carmine cypress]

multiplayer stalker mmo is a good idea

in my opinion

i stand by my opinionand claim

[blissful ivy]

its a good idea sure, and im pretty sure klean is gonna do better with fucking DAYZ

which is a god damn feat with how shit that engine is

[carmine cypress]

oh well yea for sure

[blissful ivy]

built from literal shit code, and hes made it work so far

im impressed actually

[carmine cypress]

Kleans stalkerZ will be miles better

[blissful ivy]

i been watching as it goes

stalker survival is turning out well

[tawdry flare]

good idea maybe, horrendously executed

[hybrid pelican]

i wish gamma opened up a bartering system. and a flea market for players. i mean there was a mod out there to talk to other players through a chat window. using some sort of plugin

[blissful ivy]

stalkerz died almost 2 years ago

the pvp one

the RP one is still alive for some reason

[carmine cypress]

Kleans StalkerZ not stalkerZ

[blissful ivy]

and that shit on life support

its dead

[blissful ivy]

yeah its not called that

its called stalker survival, to avoid confusion

[carmine cypress]

ik

[blissful ivy]

if you want to shorten, just ssurv

easier

[hybrid pelican]

i know grok posted an announcement about a revamped stalker that was fanmade

[carmine cypress]

nah

[hybrid pelican]

played a couple of hours and dropped it

[carmine cypress]

what was it?

[blissful ivy]

real

most stalker mods are just bleh

even this one

gamma is only good once you fix all the bad shit in it

[hybrid pelican]

looked a bit more cartoony

[blissful ivy]

which is like, 10% of the pack

[hybrid pelican]

gamma gives me the same fever as minecraft

fun as fuck to sink into it on occasion

[carmine cypress]

yea

im taking a break from cs and playing this for a while

[coarse grail]

Real

[hybrid pelican]

but then i need a break. the game lacks new content. and i find myself playing the same thing every time

[carmine cypress]

then im back on that shit

[blissful ivy]

see minecraft is different for me

i play it long term

since the reason it dies so quick

is because you progress too quick

you just kinda breeze through it all

[carmine cypress]

modded minecraft is fun

[blissful ivy]

thats why you just gotta fuck around, do anything but the progression

for a while

mods help

[coarse grail]

If by long term you mean 2 week phase then yes

[blissful ivy]

no

like months

mate

what is your attention span

you fucking house fly

[hybrid pelican]

well yes minecraft gives you some things to do but at some point you need to explore the sandbox element or you get bored to death

[blissful ivy]

yes

[hybrid pelican]

me and my girlfriend built a zoo and set out to find and take home every animal

[blissful ivy]

you go explore

[coarse grail]

You'd be surprised...

[proven raptor]

wait so you have to play the sandbox game as a sandbox game? i can't believe it

[carmine cypress]

minecraft progression is a joke

[blissful ivy]

no more of that bullshittery with "i need my protection 4 netherite, or else im playing wrong"

that shit is lame

just gimme iron armor and some shit to do

thats it

[coarse grail]

Real

I play minecraft with iron tools forever lol

[hybrid pelican]

well most people play it with a linear playstyile and the endgoal is the ender dragon

[blissful ivy]

no i wouldnt, ive seen 8th graders that read at a 3rd grade level

nothing surprises me

[proven raptor]

that's their problem

[coarse grail]

I meant rhe other way

[carmine cypress]

i have a 2yr old world i revisit every few months

[blissful ivy]

ok

anyways

[coarse grail]

By the time i was 18 i had 5k hours in dota 2 for example

[blissful ivy]

yeah no people are doomed

[hybrid pelican]

i've seen friends in my servers go for diamonds on day 1 and at that point it kills it for me

[blissful ivy]

but yeah its ok

[blissful ivy]

youre going to hell for that

not because you spent lots of time on a game

[coarse grail]

We live and we learn

[blissful ivy]

but because its dota 2

what the fuck

[hybrid pelican]

at least gamma bottlenecks progress like that so you can't have gauss rifle on the third day of playing

[blissful ivy]

really now?

i beg to differ

[carmine cypress]

i have like 1k on my main in CS

[hybrid pelican]

although i found a gauss rifle on a monolith in AW

[carmine cypress]

plus another 2k on alts

[blissful ivy]

why would ANYONE voluntarily play CS for long times

unless youre playing with friends

the whole time

that shit is dull

and miserable

[carmine cypress]

i think its fun

[blissful ivy]

you are a creature

that is all

[tawdry flare]

different people has different aproaches to games after all

[coarse grail]

Whats your highest play time on any game?

[hybrid pelican]

i tried cs2 and 80% of my games were aimbotters and walls

[carmine cypress]

also CS wasnt always just about the 5v5 until recently

[blissful ivy]

4k hours or something like that, idk ps4s dont say your hour count

[carmine cypress]

surf, zombies used to be big in GO

[blissful ivy]

so if im to guess 4-5k

all on dayz

worth every second

[coarse grail]

Then you should know bro

[hybrid pelican]

i used to do that in 1.6 and then dropped it

[blissful ivy]

what?

logic?

i just said i wouldnt know because they DONT tell you

XD

i used to be on PS4

for the longest time

[hybrid pelican]

silksong dropped though which is big for the roguelike community

[carmine cypress]

i also had like 700hrs in tarkov

[blissful ivy]

silksong can suck my nuts, idc

its not that big of a deal to me

[coarse grail]

No, i mean if you spend 4k hours on some game you ought to know why anyone would play CS to a degenerate degree

[hybrid pelican]

why do you want your nuts sucked by a video game

[blissful ivy]

difference, is that CS is kinda just shit

[carmine cypress]

what game did you have 4k hours in

[blissful ivy]

idk man

[blissful ivy]

dayz, an absolute shitshow, but the people make up for it

seriously

[coarse grail]

Look man, im not going to sit here and pretend dayz is good. Like we are all adults here...

[blissful ivy]

if it werent for the hilarious/insane people

[hybrid pelican]

before Gamma I used to play tarkov. oh boy. that was the true masochism. I promise you Gamma is more fun

[blissful ivy]

itd die

[carmine cypress]

dayz isnt great

[blissful ivy]

like

years ago

[blissful ivy]

just said otherwise buddy

cs isnt either, rather the contrary

[carmine cypress]

im not saying it is

[blissful ivy]

to me, its in the same boat as like, tf2

when it was having its bot crisis

abyssmal dogshit

[hybrid pelican]

for me Hunt Showdown gotta be the most fun shooter. gamma would take the cake only if the AI wouldn't be so bad

[carmine cypress]

so what games are good then?

[blissful ivy]

not CS

lmao

or dayz

[carmine cypress]

i did enjoy that

[blissful ivy]

come to think of it

Shadow of War is good

same with the first game

[carmine cypress]

youre just a negative mofo arent you

[blissful ivy]

DOOM

and eternal

[carmine cypress]

doom is good

[blissful ivy]

uhhh

what else

[coarse grail]

Shadow of war is goos, but nowhere near 4k hour playtime good

[blissful ivy]

fuckin uhh space marine 2

[blissful ivy]

you lack motivation if thats the case

shit is gas

easily 5k hour material

maybe not all in 1 year

or even 2

but after 3-4 years, i could see 2-3k or more hours

it took me 5 years to get dayz to 4-5k hours

[coarse grail]

Ma6be when i was a teenager, now i got bills man hahhaha

[blissful ivy]

but i also have other games, put like 400 hours onto helldivers

[carmine cypress]

helldivers was fun

[blissful ivy]

put like 100 into DL

65 hours in ready or not

200 hours in SM2

[carmine cypress]

you play the newest doom?

[blissful ivy]

yeah i play games

[blissful ivy]

no, dont even have eternal at home

played at cousins on his rig

he has a really nice one too, 40 series, amd ryzen 9

32gb ddr5 and all

[carmine cypress]

what about yours

[blissful ivy]

nvme

[coarse grail]

I got that

[blissful ivy]

i have a 3060 12gb, i7 12th gen and 16gb of ddr4

and an nvme + hdd

im getting moar ram

but otherwise its staying the same

[carmine cypress]

oh i have the exact same as u but 32gb of ddr4

[hybrid pelican]

i've got my trust 1050 ti

the real gamer setup

[carmine cypress]

tank of a card

[coarse grail]

I got a 4070ti super

Buttery smooth

[hybrid pelican]

my machine can load up gamma in almost 60 frames and that is with the lowest shadowmap

i know i know, impressive

[blissful ivy]

yeah, until you want space marine 2 on higher settings

[carmine cypress]

i mean that isnt bad

[blissful ivy]

then it just wants to fucking die

[coarse grail]

To think i went from rx 580 at 1080p 60hz to 4070 1440p 244hz sheeeesh

[blissful ivy]

even in 1080p

[hybrid pelican]

nonsense, 1050 ti supremacy

[carmine cypress]

its a 1050ti its served its purpose

[blissful ivy]

its just not having a good time

3060 just doesnt like SM2

i might just see if i can fit a bigger GPU

if i cant, i will just make it fit tbh

[carmine cypress]

its outdated now but lasted pretty long

[hybrid pelican]

i've had this custom built pc since like 8 years ago

[blissful ivy]

thing is, im just gonna make my case fit the card

[carmine cypress]

@blissful ivy where u from if you dont mind me asking?

[blissful ivy]

if it dont fit, just cut a fucking hole

[blissful ivy]

canada, sadly

shit sucks

ngl

[coarse grail]

Get a new one friend, life is short to not enjoy tech

[carmine cypress]

french?

[blissful ivy]

fuck no

id let them leave if i could

they wanted to, but now they dont

fucking goblins

[blissful ivy]

no you never get a new pc

only new parts

[hybrid pelican]

i have to get some money. i just graduated bachelors and already paying tuition for my masters.

[blissful ivy]

not worth a whole new one

[carmine cypress]

1050ti prob means he uses a laptop

[blissful ivy]

just get a gpu or ram

[blissful ivy]

custom pc

usually thats not laptops

[radiant star]

fart

[coarse grail]

If its 8 years old idk how much room he has for upgrades

[carmine cypress]

but you pushed to far

[coarse grail]

Platforms dead prob

[blissful ivy]

me in class:

[blissful ivy]

linkin park reference?

"I tried to fart, but I pushed too hard, but in the end, it doesn't even matter"

[coarse grail]

How old are you

12

[blissful ivy]

yes

no but yes

inside, yes

outside, no

[coarse grail]

Not a good spot to be in

[blissful ivy]

what you mean

[coarse grail]

I dont mean this in relation to you personally, but in general few things are more unnatractive than (wo)manchildren

[blissful ivy]

mfw its a joke

literally just a joke

[carmine cypress]

schrodingers douchebag

[blissful ivy]

fuck you

[summer condor]

LMAO

[carmine cypress]

[blissful ivy]

they didnt find it funny, but i dont care, its still a joke

albeit not a good one

[coarse grail]

I didnt mean anything by it

[blissful ivy]

schrodingers douchebag only applies to more offensive jokes, where they test the waters to see if theyre "joking" or not

this aint that

[coarse grail]

If anything im projecting lol

[blissful ivy]

just a lesson in schrodingers douchebaggery

[carmine cypress]

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

idc ngl

[oblique quest]

Unless maybe you get an inexpensive prebuilt and then just throw a better graphics card in it. That was what we did a couple times, anyway, because it was super economical.

[blissful ivy]

HA never go pre built

regardless

you know for a fact they may have given a decent GPU

but they def fucked you on the BIOS

its gonna be absolute shit

(id know, my bios sucks because pre built)

most of them do that

i dont even get XMP

thats how bad it is

[oblique quest]

Not in my experience. It was perfectly fine.

[carmine cypress]

do you have a omen hp?

[blissful ivy]

but for the most part, they cheap out on mobo or bios

[blissful ivy]

no

its a fuckass acer

regrets are known

[oblique quest]

Maybe it's a different story because this would have been maybe ten years ago.

[carmine cypress]

acer boards should have xmp i thought

guess not

[summer condor]

tbh its mostly what youre looking for if youre a hardcore gamer and want maximum price performance dont do prebuild but if you cant be fucked to figure it out and just want a game box that you turn on and it works who cares

[coarse grail]

That mobo is your netherite 4 not allowing you to enjoy shit

(Said the guy who built his own pc)

[hybrid pelican]

where did xcvb disappear to

[blissful ivy]

who

XD

[hybrid pelican]

the guy who made the interactive pda mod

[carmine cypress]

its not even that, pc masterrace mfs always cry when people dont try to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their shit and instead just let it be as is

[oblique quest]

Also, if you can get a prebuilt that costs, like, 200 bucks for the entire thing, for what would have been an OK low-midrange build a couple years ago, that's a pretty sweet deal for a major upgrade if you're using a PC that you built years ago that's total trash by today's standards.

[carmine cypress]

exactly what i did, went from a 1050ti laptop to a prebuilt desktop i can’t remember the specs of for a few years

[summer condor]

yea that sounds like a good move

[coarse grail]

Where you guys from

[oblique quest]

Like, it was a wholesaled economical PC intended for office workers. Shit even had a speaker in the case. Threw a better GPU in it once or twice and used it for a few years, then I put together a list of parts which was a solid mix of economical and effective and replaced the guts.

[carmine cypress]

florida

[blissful ivy]

my condolences

[carmine cypress]

youre canadian

[oblique quest]

Hey, could be worse, could be California.

[coarse grail]

Sounds fun

[carmine cypress]

im not in south Florida so its pretty chill here

[coarse grail]

I imagine florida as a place where when you buy a gun they give you a watermelon as a bonus gift just cause

Florida has watermelon vibes in my mind idk

[oblique quest]

I don't mind that I have to physically keep notes to keep track of Hip's questline, but it is weird that it's the only tasks that are like that. Not going in the PDA, requiring you to keep track of what you're doing and why in a notepad.

[radiant star]

#╟❓general-offtopic is so neglected

[carmine cypress]

tbf #╟🔰☢newbies-chat is the most active

[oblique quest]

True. But, hey, sometimes the conversation drifts off topic then back on.

[sick yoke]

how do you "cheap out" on bios

what

[carmine cypress]

i think he means like a cheap HP mb that doesnt have xmp in bios

[sick yoke]

then ??????

mobo OR bios????

[blissful ivy]

you just get a really shitty bios setup, with less options, and a worse ui

mine for instance, no XMP

also really dumbed down, missing like half the options

[oblique quest]

Thing is, if you're using just whatever you could get your hands on at the time, anything is an upgrade.

[snow jackal]

A is confused that youre referring to them as seperate when the bios is directly tied to the motherboard you have

[blissful ivy]

probably for more beginner pc users

[blissful ivy]

true

that slipped my mind

[sick yoke]

yeah

[carmine cypress]

does it really matter when i get 240 on max settings anyway

[blissful ivy]

but yeah, the mobo in most pre builts has a really mediocre bios

some come with a good mobo

mine sure didnt

[oblique quest]

My point of view coming from poverty level hand-me-down gaming where sometimes I would be managing cinematic framerates on the lowest settings is "hey, if it runs smooth, good enough for me bub."

[blissful ivy]

but hey, at least i have a functional pc

that keeps up with modern titles

the XMP thing isnt even that big of a deal imo

it sucks

but i can live without

[carmine cypress]

just get new ram sticks

you can get higher mhz speed on your ram without xmp by buying specific sticks

its what i did

[blissful ivy]

yeah i know

i just need 3200

thats what my current set is

[oblique quest]

I recommend getting 32GB, too. 16GB used to be way too much, unless you were a 3D movie editor or some shit, but now it isn't even always enough.

[carmine cypress]

im getting 64 soon

[blissful ivy]

its enough for the minimums on anything today

but 32 is best for all experiences

[carmine cypress]

ram is cheap enough to change and generally universal

[blissful ivy]

mfw my planned upgrade is ddr5, making it useless

[oblique quest]

Yeah, unless you want Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown to fucking crash your PC because they hogged it all and chugged it to a failure point.

[coarse grail]

Im thinking about 128 lmao

[blissful ivy]

scamkov

scams money

scams ram

got it

hunt means something, since its not a shitstain

[carmine cypress]

i enjoyed tarkov for a time

i still do since im good at it

[oblique quest]

I also enjoyed it for a time, and then switched to SPT and enjoyed it much more for a much longer time.

[carmine cypress]

but i see why alot of people shifted away from it

[snow jackal]

we packing 32 of ddr5 at 6200mhz

cl28

[carmine cypress]

i played SPT for a bit but ended up going back to multiplayer since i love Labs PVP and reserve bunker fights

[oblique quest]

Mostly because it's dishonest. And even when it is being honest, most sweats are playing that shit like a jankier call of duty, and that's (ironically) kinda boring.

[carmine cypress]

yea no i played like a sweat

[blissful ivy]

pay for advantage makes people leave for sure

so does cheater problems

so does a toxic community sometimes

so yeah

no shit people left

[oblique quest]

I think they rolled back pretty much every advantage the Unheard edition gives you, but still, the initial version of that bombshell was what made many people (myself included) say "fuck it dude, I'm getting SPT up and running."

[blissful ivy]

thats because if they do it once, theyre liable to do it again

[oblique quest]

TRUE

[blissful ivy]

its like someone cheats on you, then you give them another chance, theyre likely to do it again

[oblique quest]

It was definitely a trust break, and running it back only reduced the damage it did.

[blissful ivy]

lots of that

[oblique quest]

Anyway, I got my Kar98k fully modded (sans caliber change ) and got the scope for it (thanks, spore!), runs like a dream.

[blissful ivy]

didnt ask +

[oblique quest]

Imagine talking about STALKER in STALKER chat, SMH.

[blissful ivy]

real

[carmine cypress]

see i didnt have this issue cuz armor didnt really do much and it was just free kits

[inland spade]

I finallly got a heavy armour. Skat9 to be exact

[carmine cypress]

nice

[blissful ivy]

fuck off nerd

[carmine cypress]

just get good?

[blissful ivy]

that would mean playing escape from nikitakov

not happening

[carmine cypress]

just get good in general

[oblique quest]

Due to the nature of the game, the extra starting resources are a fleeting advantage at best, and can be scooped up by other players and redistributed after a week or two anyway.

The real painpoints are starting with better drip (which could also be more effective camo) and more stash space.

[blissful ivy]

im not bad at video games, im bad at games like tarkov

if its not tarkov, or adjacent

i can perform to a decent extent

[carmine cypress]

yea i mean i hated that unheard and all the p2w stuff happened but in practice i didnt suffer from it even as a standard edition player

[oblique quest]

OK, actually, saying the trigger word (standard edition), that was what reminded me: the real painpoint is being stuck with a 2x2 ass case. That shit sucks.

[carmine cypress]

grinding for epsilon is the best part of the game

im lying

ts was ass

[blissful ivy]

cold take: tarkov is a slab of cold dogshit drizzled in caramel sauce

then called it ice cream

and then the pigs ate it because they love the slop

[carmine cypress]

tarkov is the 3 month gf you got pregnant

[oblique quest]

Nah, that's call of duty. Tarkov is more like surstromming. It's really fucking weird and different and some people love it, and it is objectively pretty awful, but there's also really nothing like it.

[blissful ivy]

no i mean it

cod is just a husk

it was only good 10 years ago or so

and the last good one was 2019

[carmine cypress]

tbf those animations and assets are pretty solid

[blissful ivy]

but back when they were good, they were fun

yeah thats it tho

otherwise slop

[oblique quest]

It peaked with MW2. After that, they were like "uh oh, we balanced the game a bit too crazy, nobody is allowed to ever have fun anymore."

[carmine cypress]

2019 was fun

[oblique quest]

The first MW2, I should specify.

[carmine cypress]

in the beginning

[blissful ivy]

it was good at 2019

not only fun

but it restored my faith

in cod

only for them to FUCKING SHATTER IT

retards

[carmine cypress]

i enjoyed early comp s&d

good banter and gunplay

[blissful ivy]

i was a casual

i just enjoyed executions

best addition

i loved learning how to hide from everyone

just to sneak up and piss off nerds

[oblique quest]

I miss dual-wielded weapons being allowed to actually be good.

[blissful ivy]

best part was when they quit because you caught them

idk why, but it just damaged their ego to get executed

[carmine cypress]

and then they merged CW into warzone and the m14 was OP

[blissful ivy]

i remember that

i liked warzone pre CW

[carmine cypress]

shouldve kept them seperate

[blissful ivy]

but warzone really only died when vanguard

[carmine cypress]

true

@blissful ivy i think the difference in how we plays games is that i enjoy chasing leaderboards

and you play more casually

[blissful ivy]

leaderboards are for schmucks

genuinely

who cares

[carmine cypress]

i like being better than the next guy

is not as much about the leaderboard as it is about just being better

[blissful ivy]

i just like pissing off people like you

[carmine cypress]

its why i play CS still

[blissful ivy]

maybe not you

but most people like you

get real pissed

when you sneak up on them

so fun

[carmine cypress]

u are right that most people who play how i do are kinda pricks

but ultimately how i play is casual to me since games are how i unwind

even if my casual is your competitive

[blissful ivy]

thats great for you, but the rush when someone gets pissed and yells slurs at you is awesome

sure some would say its weird to like being called slurs

[carmine cypress]

that still happens

[blissful ivy]

but when theyre that mad

its music to my ears

you drink their rage like a fucking elixir

cant get over it, like a drug, ragebait was my art

[carmine cypress]

I prefer making people happy

theres enough negativity in other parts of my life

[blissful ivy]

making people happy + cod dont go together

its one of those types of games, that makes people angry

majority of players at least

[carmine cypress]

well im not on cod

i also just mean in general

[blissful ivy]

i just mean cod

im part of the problem

[carmine cypress]

i hate seeing people upset online or irl

[blissful ivy]

hitting people with a cinderblock brought me joy

and it brought them rage

which brought me more joy

[carmine cypress]

ofc i do get a kick out of hearing people go off in cod tho lol

[blissful ivy]

like a positive feedback loop

i get a kick out of anything like that

even if theyre not going off

even if its just behind the monitor i KNOW theyre fuming

thats enough

me sleeping peacefully after causing someone extreme rage ^

good morning

[vapid yacht]

afternoon

[celest sparrow]

[upper dawn]

people in cod deserve to have to crash out

they genuinely still play a game that has nothing other than microtransactions

[upper dawn]

not people who like getting degraded, that is. and plus, ragebaiting is actually fun as hell.

[latent elbow]

Cod gameplay was awesome before they introduce stupid omnimovment with buffed aim assist and shitty skins to appeal 9yo from Fortnite

[upper dawn]

i only liked cod 1

[normal island]

Calling people slurs hardly counts as "ragebaiting"

[upper dawn]

getting called slurs idiot

[vapid yacht]

Weird fetish

[hollow wadi]

Sounds a lot like not STALKER

Shoo

[upper dawn]

meh does it really matter?

at least i dont like vore

[vapid yacht]

couldn't tell

[upper dawn]

oh youre from efp

did it get updated from 4.2 yet?

i just got banned randomly one day so i cant tell

[vapid yacht]

No man I'm still waiting for the v5

[vapid yacht]

The hell did u do

[upper dawn]

i dont know

i woke up to having received 3 warnings from a mod overnight

[latent elbow]

[upper dawn]

genuinely

HOWEVER

i did get hacked around that time
