Bonus Stream || Stalker 2

  Juliamon: because mom used lotion on her legs
  Juliamon: and she wanted to lick mom's legs
  Juliamon: you know how cats are
 DoodlestheGreat: Cat: *gee, your legs smell delicious.*
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Also is this W+P or Stalker?
  Juliamon: Stalker
  Juliamon: G is sick
 accountmadeforants: Get in here, Stalker
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @DoodlestheGreat More accurately "Your legs do not smell like you, must clean"
 DoodlestheGreat: Aw, best wishes for Grahm's speedy recovery.
 baltimore_667083: !box
  LRRbot: In the box is: a lasagna tray full of bran
  TXC2: branagna ?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh no! I hope he feels better soon and that his giant fluff nuggets are piling on with purrs to help
 accountmadeforants: And dang, yeah, hope G gets well soon
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Labrangna?
 DoodlestheGreat: In fairness, "W&P or Stalker" is silly. They're the same thing. >_<
  TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig  there we go
 margieargie: Well I'm certainly not gonna -complain- about a Stalker 2 stream... wish it could have been a bit better circumstances for it but
 Thefluffiestguineapig: We playing Stalker 2 or heavily modded Stalker one?
  TXC2: I assume stalker 2
 accountmadeforants: @DoodlestheGreat Yeah, but Stalker has *style*, and there's a lot of it.

 baltimore_667083: !advice
  LRRbot: All of the bones are in the skin.
 TheAwkes: Stalker 2 is no more a W+P game than unmodified Skyrim would be. There are bugs that get a little silly, but there's a real game going on and it's a good one.
 Creideiki_SE:  
 baltimore_667083: !badadvice
  LRRbot: Use the elephant gun.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Manae has the tendency to get the next right on the nose
  Juliamon: I'd call it talent
  Juliamon: and timing
 Manae: And the knowledge the Moonbase runs on MIcrosoft Standard Time (tm)
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Note: your bones should not be in your skin, if your bones are in your skin and not deeper see a doctor
 TehAmelie: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fun bit about an elephant gun
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Manae Ah yes, the least reliable of all the time zones
  Juliamon: Not *your* skin. *THE* skin.
   LoadingReadyRun: will get going shortly, game just finished downloading
 matthaus_c: who's ready to eat some Flesh meat
 TehAmelie: well, they maily just point out that it's a very large, very heavy gun with one shot that doesn't do anything but make the great white hunter feel big
 DoodlestheGreat: No problem. Take your time.
  TXC2: could I have FRESH meat instead?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @matthaus_c I would like to know what meat isn't flesh meat. Impossible things don't count because they don't claim to be meat
 matthaus_c: oh you're thinking lowercase l flesh
 TheAwkes: @Thefluffiestguineapig The capital F is doing the work here.
 Creideiki_SE: No fresh meat in the post-apocalypse. Everything is 25 years old preserves.
 matthaus_c: f that is
 Thefluffiestguineapig: OH, so Flesh meat tm
  Juliamon: ah, so fsteak
JoTyler: fLesh meat
 Metric_Furlong: @Juliamon "it's an older reference, but it checks out"
  TXC2: some man cooking steak
 baltimore_667083: !sir
  LRRbot: Sir? Sir! You come across the altar of a false god. What do you do?
 matthaus_c: @JoTyler 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I mean depends on which god
 TehAmelie: wait, how does Sir know it's a false god?
  Juliamon: TehAmelie Because it is not yours
 matthaus_c: it says right there on the pedestal
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie Exactly
  Juliamon: as is tradition, any god that is not your god is a false god
Cheese_Hammer: Blood for the blood god!
  TXC2: that's why you gotta be like that guy from the mummy, hedge your bets and follow all the gods
 Creideiki_SE: One god speaks the truth; all the others only lies.
JoTyler: did the liar tell you that
 matthaus_c: what if one of them says one only tells the truth, and the other says the other only lies
 TehAmelie: i thought we were done with the religious strength making one's government the right one since about 1700 AD
JoTyler: i'm your god-king now!!
 matthaus_c: god-daddy
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Creideiki_SE Unless you aren't a member of a monotheistic religion in which case may be rounding up or down
 Metric_Furlong: @TehAmelie well, retro stuff is very in right now
 TehAmelie: the year of our lord, she whispered, ironically
JoTyler: @matthaus_c XD

 BraveOthello: @jacqui_lantern234 you're hungry. Grab a snickers and brew again
 Creideiki_SE: Twitch informs us that a stream has started by replacing the static background image with the text "Error #5000".
 jacqui_lantern234: @BraveOthello instructions unclear, combo deck is now even more greedy
JoTyler: i eat the cards
vinopinguino: bonus stream?! *pikachu face*

 hieroglyphica: I dunno, I could go for a bonus watch + nope
 Drasvin: While Graham is away, Alex shall play.
 FarleyF: @loadingreadyrun it’s all good in the hood 
 jacqui_lantern234: @JoTyler youll have to pry my foil secret lair copies of alesha and whir of invention from my cold, dead hands
 BraveOthello: Wait, if I crack the eggs for value, I can't also scalp them for twice what the grocery store charged ... I think I've mixed my metaphors
 jacqui_lantern234: and im immortal
 butt_ghost: WOOO
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @hieroglyphica Wasn't the Alone in the Dark stuff kind of a watch and nope?
thedevil_risen1: I missed out on the islands @jacqui_lantern234 *sad pikachu noises*
 hieroglyphica: I'm sick, my main symptom is all my teeth hurt a bunch and a runny nose, I'm juiced up on cold meds and I'M READY
 jacqui_lantern234: hello windows noises
 Metric_Furlong: @Thefluffiestguineapig the Kathleen + Alex Alone in the Dark (2007) stream was the original 'Watch + Nope'

 BraveOthello: Nope. Still in the LARGE office
 Dreadelicious: English is hard
Gizmoloid: echo remains
JoTyler: it sounds like the echo effect is still on
  Juliamon: Is it a soundboard effect?
 DiscordianTokkan: Oh, I thought it was bette
 FarleyF: 
  Juliamon: Now you're muted
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I mean is it something the Nope Bois added?
Gizmoloid: no echo but far away just now
 TehAmelie: hi Alex!
 Nigouki: just beep all the boops until it's fine
 matthaus_c: just start pressing buttons, what could go wrong
 butt_ghost: there we go

  Simriel: Is it some kind of Dolphin/
NERVOUSHAIR: No
JoTyler: hmmmm nope
epsilon_vee: there's still echo
  Juliamon: Did not
 ButButTheJesus: 100 a Alex! a Stalker! huzzah!

TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/RockyTallCocoaDuDudu-yBvw0fc1ojjRlC52
JoTyler: do you have the stream open or something
 Nigouki: wrong mic knob?
 butt_ghost: ok wait no it's the right mic being hot
NERVOUSHAIR: The echo button did nothing
Gizmoloid: No difference from echo settings
 Strebenherz: Trans am
 matthaus_c: gender knob? is that what we're calling packers now?
 SymphonySolstice: oh hot mic maybe
 Nigouki: I blame Ben
 accountmadeforants: I don't think the echo dial did anything, increasing it didn't make it worse, if that helps
NERVOUSHAIR: Paaaaaaul
  Simriel: Ping paul on Slack?
 DoodlestheGreat: HEWWO
 SymphonySolstice: yeah
 butt_ghost: heard
 TreeVor84: that mic is normal
 DaxStrife: Yup, 2nd mic's on.
  Juliamon: No echo on that one

 Nigouki: wait what, why is echo back now
 butt_ghost: ???
 NimrodXIV: oh noooo
 SymphonySolstice: welp
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh nooooooooo
Gizmoloid: Other mic still hears you?
 NorthstarTex: sadly it didn't fix it
  Juliamon: WHY DID THAT CHANGE
JoTyler: it's not the mics it's a source or an open window
 Lord_Hosk: its echoing now
 Laserbeaks_Fury: It's gotta be two mics on
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Paaaauuuul
NERVOUSHAIR: It was doubled with the crapshot
 Brozard: oh no
 Nigouki: Ok chat, just pretend we're in a tunnel the whole itme
  TXC2: what is this sorcery?!
 Brozard: This is the real game
 TreeVor84: oh god what did the Nope boys do to the setu]
 SymphonySolstice: 
 Patorik: Cool technology!
ElmoTheRed23: need to turn off one of the mics. they are both picking up your voice
 Lord_Hosk: HOW was it not echoing when it was over there and now its echoing
 matthaus_c: such is life in the zone
thedevil_risen1: Ok who squid gamed Alex
 Brozard: Use both mics at the same time, cancel the echoes out
Archonic_Energy subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 92 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Archonic_Energy! (Today's storm count: 7)
JoTyler: it's not that both mics are on at the same time
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I think this is more that Ben and Adam were the last ones in here and they mess with everything
 Natimus_Prime: Why is tech so difficult to work with?  Why can't things just work like we ask them to?
 raulghoulia: This Is wizardry
 TheAwkes: @Lord_Hosk Witchcraft. Must be cursed. Time for fire.
  Juliamon: yeah I'd blame the Nope bois
 accountmadeforants: In fairness, this is a complex setup
NERVOUSHAIR: A second nested source is running somewhere in your stack !!!!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Genuinely seems extremely complex
JoTyler: the nope boys didnt do anything weird during stream so i dont think it's them
 matthaus_c: blame them anyways
 Wolfstrike_NL: Don't worry Alex, it's all of the audiance that's in their underwear
 accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig Presumably Ben did, because he knows more than enough to actually do damage 
 raulghoulia: I need an old priest and a tech priest
thedevil_risen1: It's ok Alex
NERVOUSHAIR: Beeeeeeeeeen
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Oh absolutely
 butt_ghost: Is anyone else around to assist?
 matthaus_c: it's chill, this is fun
 NimrodXIV: no worries, it's a complicated setup
NERVOUSHAIR: I need 3 priests
 KV1NN4: It's gunna be okay!
 jacqui_lantern234: youre doing youre best, and i appreciate you, alex 
Thisbymaster: Stalker 2, get eaten by a invisible monster
Flyingdelorion: Blame James?
  Simriel: You are doing absolutely fine dude, this is Not Problems
  TXC2: no worries Alex
 Strebenherz: Take your time, all good.
 DaxStrife: Relax Alex, just breathe.
NERVOUSHAIR: Audio is hard
splott2k: wait, i'm late to the party, why is this a big deal?
 TreeVor84: We totally get it and understand Alex.  Something is set weird that you aren't familiar with.
 DaxStrife: No difference.
epsilon_vee: no different
NERVOUSHAIR: @splott2k double audio
JoTyler: @LoadingReadyRun did you have a second window open or something for the crapshot?
 Dreadelicious: As someone who's about to go into audio engineering this is a learning moment for me
ace_also: cool anomaly
 SymphonySolstice: beeeeen
Thisbymaster: are both mics turned on?
NERVOUSHAIR: The crapshoot was also doubled
 Dreadelicious: The Ben
 iris_of_ether:  
 matthaus_c:  oh hey, a use for this emote 
 DaxStrife: The stream *started* with an echo. Even the Bonus Stream into had an echo.
  Juliamon: Everything has been doubled from the intro on
 DiscordianTokkan: Ben is also echo. 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Dreadelicious Genuinely Ben is a sound engineer, so he would be a good one to bounce ideas off
 SymphonySolstice: everything is doubled yeah
 accountmadeforants: Yeah, there was echo in the intro as well
JoTyler: it seems like a source is doubled
 matthaus_c: wouldn't it be fucked if Alex was echoing but not Ben
 Nigouki: imagine if it was just Alex voice getting echo but Ben is fine, ultimate cursed
 matthaus_c: AYYY
 accountmadeforants: Fixed
Gizmoloid: YAY

 Gaelan_Maestro: i leave for a few min and the place goes to hell *tsk tsk*
 Dreadelicious: We'll see there's your problem, that stuff shouldn't be on fire
 TheAwkes: When you only put 3 holes in the film instead of 4 like it tells you to.
 matthaus_c: this is how that Brazilian disaster happened
JoTyler: dont pick up the glowing rock
 iris_of_ether: My mom has absolutely ended a microwave that way
thedevil_risen1: Yeah looks like my office when I come back from a couple of days off

 DoodlestheGreat: I haven't seen a TV dinner with foil in ages.
 Strebenherz: I've definitely set pizza rolls on fire with a microwave
 SymphonySolstice: good now
 TreeVor84: I remember being introduced to STALKER with your IDDQDerp streams years ago.
 matthaus_c: game is overwhelming you a bit
Master_Gunner: I remember you streaming this back in like... 2009?
 KBKarma: Volume seems fine.
 SohNata: I feel like your run of the original STALKER was one of the first streams LRR did
 matthaus_c: awesome
  Simriel: I think we first talked about Stalker on Bird Website about... a decade ago?
 KV1NN4: game louder than you by twice
 KBKarma: Ah, better.
 Wolfstrike_NL: nice
thedevil_risen1: 
 KV1NN4: Improved thanks!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: If possible can we make the subtitles bigger? My eyes are crap
 KBKarma: A more accurate spelling?
 matthaus_c: it's the correct spelling, ya
 DaxStrife: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/FinePatientCatNomNom-O8yjwA28N3Usn3yg
  TXC2: the Ukrainian spelling and not the Russian spelling
 Alness49: The SIRCAA, who make a tasty hot sauce
Gizmoloid: Was always the Ukrainian spelling
 Nigouki: it's de-Russification, which is very appropriate
 accountmadeforants: It's the Ukrainian spelling, though I also didn't know until this game
 Coloneljesus: that's why we're here
 PotatoWraiths: wow that is a wild setpiece
 DoodlestheGreat: This is your jam.
 matthaus_c: let's talk about guns and sieverts
 TreeVor84: I'm looking forward to the info dumps
 DiscordianTokkan: Like Kiev vs Kyiv
 DaxStrife: Give us all the dumps, Alex.
 ButButTheJesus: its the Ukranian romanization instead of the Russian romanization, is what I read
 ConspiracyOfCartographers: That is why we are here
  Simriel: The English V.A is BAAAAD
 GasCityGaming: My dad could understand it, I cannot lol
 Metric_Furlong: A science machine!
  TXC2: "keev"
 Metric_Furlong: emphasis on 'dead'
JoTyler: well sure it's probably fused to his skin now lol
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Yup, definitely a science machine that is going to end poorly
 KBKarma: I watched Matara's playthrough of this. She commented on how close Ukranian was to Russian.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Same root language
 Mangledpixel: to rhyme with "Steve"
  TXC2: Ukranian also probably older
 Laserbeaks_Fury: are we talking like Spanish and Mexican?
thedevil_risen1: Man why is it always the Ural drivers?
 SymphonySolstice: it's like portugese vs spanish
 GasCityGaming: When Kosovo and all that was going down in the 90s my dad could also kind of get the jist of what they were saying
 TheAwkes: Playing this game is what made me finally upgrade from my 3070 Ti to a 4070 Ti Super. It just won't play nice on 8GB of VRAM.
 DaxStrife: "Zone is hangry today."
 DoodlestheGreat: Would it be fair to compare the difference to that between Portugese and Spanish?
 RealGamerCow: @Laserbeaks_Fury From what I've been told, yes
 DigitalSeahorse: YAY
 matthaus_c: Portuguese and Spanish are more distant than Ukrainian and Russian
 Nigouki: nice Samovar
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Is that a science machine or a weapon?
 DigitalSeahorse: Get out of here, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Two!
thedevil_risen1: Not as secret as some of the docs on the WarThunder forums am I right?
 DoodlestheGreat: I could use a cup of coffee.
JoTyler: that's where all the V I B E S are
TheAinMAP: 
 Lysander_salamander: hello everyone!
Gizmoloid: I so wish I could explain pronunciation difference between Y and I in Kyiv. But I think that's pretty much impossible to do in English text.
 matthaus_c: the artifacts are the thing most people come for, but then there's also the weird god at the NPP
  TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander  welcome
JoTyler: hi @Lysander_salamander !
 RealGamerCow: I used to work in a company with about 40% Russians, and someone on my team was Ukranian, and he gave me a few examples how they are different.

 RealGamerCow: Ukranian is slightly less harsh than Russian
 DoodlestheGreat: I go there for the food.
 matthaus_c: I need to do a Monolith run in Anomaly sometime
114 raiders from Seabats have joined!

 Laserbeaks_Fury: have fun stormin the castle!
  TXC2: Amentur  oh really? neat
 KBKarma: But yeah, Matara noticed that she could understand enough Ukranian to understand the barks when, for example, the enemies threw 'nades.
 DigitalSeahorse: WASD
 Lysander_salamander: darn, muscle memory is going to be messy
  Simriel: First piece of jank?
 DaxStrife: Pretty sure there's already a mod that converts it to the old "correct and broken" controls.
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Are you going into this vanilla?
 TheAwkes: Q and E are quick-use, press and long press each use a different item. It takes a while to get used to.
 KBKarma: Sound maybe?
JoTyler: Accessibility?
 theymerLoviatar: friend of mine translated the Stalker TTRPG to english
Amentur: @TXC2 There's a whole list of side characters that show up. It's been rather wonderful
  Simriel: That Makarov is a QUest item so you can never not be carrying it
 DigitalSeahorse: bigger subs would help cause my eyes are too dry today
 KBKarma: LORG.
 DoodlestheGreat: Lorge
 Mangledpixel: Lorg
  TXC2: Amentur  nice
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Lorge subtitles
thedevil_risen1: Large!
Scarbble: bigg
 DigitalSeahorse: *blinks a bunch*
 Nigouki: pulsing, mutated subtitles
 KBKarma: And now I wait for Gaius to have his big speech.
 SkylerRingtail: First playthrough, or has Alex been playing at home?
 KBKarma: The former.
 enbycephalopod: velykyy if were following the game audio
JoTyler: @SkylerRingtail first touch
  TXC2: could we have the tiktok subtitles that only show one word at a time? 
 TheAwkes: You'll really want to reassign those quick use buttons for purposes of not dying.
  TXC2: SkylerRingtail  first playthrough
 BraveOthello: @txc2 plz no
 enbycephalopod: великий in Cyrillic
 Strebenherz: Tell me, for whom do you simp?  @kbkarma

 KBKarma: @Strebenherz I do not recall enough of that. But I can almost repeat his new speech verbatim.
 Nigouki: secret boss of the options menu
thedevil_risen1: I
 better_seasons: To use solt 2 and 4 you hold down slot 1 or slot 3 key its odd
thedevil_risen1: Feel
 Strebenherz: @kbkarma they got rid of how very glib ircc?
JoTyler: "how do you like stalker2?" "the menus were great!"
thedevil_risen1: Slightly
thedevil_risen1: Insulted
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Nigouki That would be the secret boss of a lot of games
 DigitalSeahorse: neat
thedevil_risen1: 
  TXC2: as the Gods intended
JoTyler: i believe you auto lean if youre against the wall next to a door too
 BusTed: chugalug
 KBKarma: @Strebenherz They did. They cut it down a bit. Still quite long, still completely unskippable.
 TheAwkes: It's both toggle and not toggle. Long press doesn't toggle and short press toggles. Running is the same behaviour.
 fragilepaper: Hey @jotyler o/
 Drasvin: I think one of the options let you change lean to hold if you want
 DigitalSeahorse: time to get effed up on death mushrooms?
JoTyler: hi fragilepaper ! 
 KBKarma: They removed the "how glib" because they removed the dialogue options a bit ago.
 Izandai: uh oh
 KBKarma: Hi crabbies!
 KBKarma: Sea!
 DoodlestheGreat: Now's the time to make all these changes.
 DigitalSeahorse: uh
 DoodlestheGreat: OOPS
 Lysander_salamander: keyboard why?
thedevil_risen1: Ummmm
  TXC2: has Ian been messing with the keyboards again?
thedevil_risen1: Did someone change your keyboard layout to azerty?
 Izandai: WHAT
 DigitalSeahorse: turn fire into something else? like water?
 DiscordianTokkan: wat
thedevil_risen1: WHAT
 DigitalSeahorse: wat
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, is the keyboard mapping wrong? Are you pressing C and it is giving you different inputs?
 Izandai: 
 KBKarma: Hey, bug!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this the keyboard Ian took apart?
 Gaelan_Maestro: is your keyboard settings on a different country?
 Lysander_salamander: peculiar
 DaxStrife: It's already haunted.
JoTyler: the zone is already getting to you
JoTyler: you found an anomaly!
Gizmoloid: why would it even be AZERTY???

 TheAwkes: That may have paved your quick-use buttons.
 DigitalSeahorse: euro jank?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Gizmoloid Previous W+P game but I thought it was a while ago
 matthaus_c: eurojank is a key feature
 JoTyler: aww thanks fragilepaper !! 
 JoTyler: i was just noticing that my prime sub has already been used this month XD
 DigitalSeahorse: that looks like a climb hole
 matthaus_c: saw so many people afraid this game would be too polished, while I was farting around in the Anomaly community
 accountmadeforants: I'm still amazed this game came out at all and in as good a state as it did. It seemed dead in the water for so long
 CaptainSpam: So just to confirm, this is not a stealth PiF, correct? 
 DigitalSeahorse: hi JoTyler and fragilepaper
  TXC2: CaptainSpam  not yet
 JoTyler: hiiii DigitalSeahorse ~<3
Gizmoloid: @thefluffiestguineapig yeah, I remember that one XD. I was mostly bewildered why would there be azert related issues in a Ukrainian game - we don't that standard.
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 SkylerRingtail: @CaptainSpam I think Kathleen would Do A Murder if she had to wait for Metaphor: ReFantazio
 JoTyler: shove that tablet right into your eyes
 Gaelan_Maestro: new technology!
 fragilepaper: Hey DigitalSeahorse! o/
 DaxStrife: Straight to the sewers.
Mysticman89: ah, I'm guessing PiF schedule wasnt playing right so it was just like, yolo bonus stream?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Are we taking the ring to Mordor?
 Nigouki: sample the pipe juice
 JoTyler: @Mysticman89 today was going to be watch+play but grahams sick
 notthepenguins: @SkylerRingtail a very real concern tbh
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Probably Kathleen with a JRPG for the next while
 DigitalSeahorse:  chopsticks
 DoodlestheGreat: knif
Mysticman89: ah, well i hope G feels better soon
 Nigouki: This Saturday, on Alex's GameBunker
 DigitalSeahorse: tuna?
 Izandai: Maybe!
 DigitalSeahorse: canned mystery food
 DoodlestheGreat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh, probably Metaphor.
 JoTyler: worst case, alex plays it on his home stream lol
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Sure, let's go with tuna
 Nigouki: oh it's definitely not tuna
 Laserbeaks_Fury: it's NOT a TUNA
  Simriel: One of the first mods I saw was reskinning tourist deligt and the energy drink back to Stalker 1 name and testure
 accountmadeforants: Maybe just calling it "Canned Food" was stretching the marketing budget
 Thefluffiestguineapig: It's tuna ***
 Nigouki: it's probably tushonka, which comes in beef, veal or pork varieties
  Juliamon: it's Subway tuna
 DigitalSeahorse: FF
 DigitalSeahorse: both same button
  TXC2: no dishonoured style looking through the keyhole

 DigitalSeahorse:   
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheAwkes Is it his first day in the zone? He helped to take an artifact from a burning building and launch in a homemade rocket out of the Zone
 GhassanPL: Dang, Alex playing stalker, it's 2014 all over again 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Drasvin with more generosity!!
  TXC2: a carbine version
 BlindPathfinder: butbut youuu could seell it laaater
 Mangledpixel: well, sucks on some axes
 Nigouki: U is for ukorocheniy, literally "shortened"
 TheAwkes: @Thefluffiestguineapig That was his home. He's looking for answers.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheAwkes OH did a meteor destroy it or something?
 wedge_x: so manly
 Thefluffiestguineapig: NOPE
 Creideiki_SE: As The Chieftain has taught us, a tanker's rifle is mostly for spraying bullets enemywards while you run the other way.
 JoTyler: that jiggle, damn
TheAinMAP: Oh
thedevil_risen1: O lord we spamming
 KBKarma: What, you don't eat meat from the tin with a combat knife?
 niccus: good eatin
 Nigouki: that meat was far more questionable than I expected
Bearudite: that goop was dire
 TheAwkes: @Thefluffiestguineapig The relic did it. The why of it is revealed in the mid-game.
 Izandai: At least it's precooked?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @KBKarma Not while standing after just having been shot at!!
 GhassanPL: Ah, the familiar sight of post-soviet canned meat 
 matthaus_c: that's a Flesh!
  TXC2: poor man pig
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Izandai That's a big assumption, we know it is preserved
 KBKarma: @Thefluffiestguineapig Well, you're missing out!
 Amentur: Fleshes have gotten bigger
 DoodlestheGreat: Ummmm... Tshonka.

 Strebenherz: Is this a good game to start the series with?
 JoTyler: probably something about the rigidity of the atomic structure?
  TXC2: they're denser?
 SkylerRingtail: Is it related to the whole pre/post-nuclear steel conundrum?
 KBKarma: She ain't on Twitch right now. I saw her in Discord earlier.
 RealGamerCow: It sticks to wool as well, when I interviewed at a reactor they asked us what our suits were made of.
anumbskull1 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 38 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, anumbskull1! (Today's storm count: 24)
 Thefluffiestguineapig: It might be related to the relative ease of turning metal atoms into ions but I will not pretend to know the actual answer
 DigitalSeahorse: maybe it's the same reason metals stick together in outer space and smol fractures just heal themselves?
  TXC2: Strebenherz  not sure, we've only just started it
 JoTyler: oh interesting,. is that a static cling sort of thing?
 TheAwkes: Ain't no binocs, sorry. But you can get optics on some weapons.
 DigitalSeahorse: nobody knows why
 Amentur: @Strebenherz The older games do play somewhat differently. Smaller scale and sligtly older design choices
  TXC2: the best of the old games was the 3rd one
 TheAwkes: I actually ended up playing this at a much narrower FoV than usual because identificantion and engaging at distance is so important.
 Izandai: @DigitalSeahorse I doubt it. That happens because there's nothing to oxidize the surface of the metal, which is the thing that stops metals from cold welding under atmospheric conditions.
 Strebenherz: When did this one come out?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @DigitalSeahorse Or why the metal pieces used for accuracy guaging just stick together for no reason? And they do that on earth
  TXC2: Strebenherz  last November
 DigitalSeahorse: that too
 DigitalSeahorse: metal is sticky
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @DigitalSeahorse But only when made extremely smooth
Bearudite: imagine when stalker 3 comes out and there is smell-o-vision in games
 DigitalSeahorse: yes
 notthepenguins: absolutely not
 DigitalSeahorse: I wouldn't either
 Nigouki: it would be every moist smell ever all the time
 DoodlestheGreat: Smell-o-vision Borderlands would be worse.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't want to play smell-o-vision in most games
 JoTyler: ozone and rot
Bearudite: mmmm cosmoline, dirt, mold and desperation
  TXC2: like wet dog smell, only there's no dogs
 niccus: hey why is the smell-o-vision kit warm
 Nigouki: yep
 DigitalSeahorse: only smellovision I'd want to play is pleasant non floral smells
chuck_ivan: correct
  Simriel: The idea of "Smellovision STALKER" made me gag then laugh out loud, thanks
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok, my neck is not tolerating watching the stream, I will see you in the vods
 JoTyler: @Thefluffiestguineapig feel better!
  TXC2: so long Thefluffiestguineapig  get well soon
 DigitalSeahorse: also non grasses and non molds
 DigitalSeahorse: no common allergens
Snowwraith: I think they're down with the dirt now.
  TXC2: I sees me a science bunker!
 KBKarma: Yes. Their blood.
 GrassVortex: oooh, I see Alex have entered The Zone
 BlindPathfinder: the bloodsuckers in this are very irritating
 TheAwkes: The concept of the Science Bunker™ is one of my favourite things in these games.

 richard_ermen: @TXC2 lol =)
 PotatoWraiths: LOL
Bearudite: Nat oh no
 richard_ermen: @matthaus_c Aye, I'm guessing we're not Strelok this time round though?
 Amentur: Neato 
 SajuukSjet: the opening of the bunker reminded me of the british nuclear watch bunkers, but this turned out much larger then those 
Snowwraith: Love a yellow medkit.
 DigitalSeahorse: NATO in Chernobyl Zones?
Bearudite: the big wheel one?
 DigitalSeahorse: finally!
  TXC2: oooh that noise activated the neurons
chuck_ivan: sound of the game is a bit low
  Simriel: STALKER fans be like "A Cache of random junk? My favourite"
 richard_ermen: Wo...what killed THESE scientists?
 JoTyler: @chuck_ivan thats because alex is also quiet
 richard_ermen: And don'T say "too much science".
 JoTyler: and it drowns him out
 richard_ermen: That laptop looks like a Lenovo 2002
 DaxStrife: I refuse; copy ALL the floppies!
  TXC2: that WIN98 interface
 Izandai: Ugh, unrealistic game, didn't have to flip the USB over to fit it in.
 KBKarma: That wasn't a floppy, it was a USB stick.
 TheAwkes: Don't worry, there's only a few hundred stashes, both marked and unmarked.
chuck_ivan: not you, the game
 JoTyler: yeah gotta eat the mic lol
  TXC2: ALEX NO!
 DigitalSeahorse: om nom nom
 Strebenherz: You wouldn't copy a floppy car would you?
 Izandai: Use that image responsibly, chat.
 JoTyler: @chuck_ivan yeah sorry, i meant that we turned down the game because it was loud over alex
 KBKarma: @JoTyler Delicious muffler.
 richard_ermen: Never trust the people willing to piss on the scientists they previously worked with
 A_Dub888: Hi friends, what level of radioactive are we?
  TXC2: hello A_Dub888  welcome
 JoTyler: @A_Dub888 just starting so still pretty low, but climbing 
 richard_ermen: He's basically saying "you figure it out", lol
offbeatwitch: that looks safe
 DigitalSeahorse: this is big font?

 A_Dub888: The System. Is down
 BusTed: yoink
 iris_of_ether:    
 matthaus_c: @Gizmoloid it was detecting that! 
Invitare: Slugma?
 DigitalSeahorse:  Slug!
 matthaus_c: holy SHIT
 KBKarma: Oh yeah, that thing.
 jacqui_lantern234: 
 SajuukSjet: well, having watched Well There's Your Problem, that suspiciously placed pressure vessel is probably a culprit 
 iris_of_ether: 
 richard_ermen: And now we know what killed the scientists
 PotatoWraiths: @Invitare Slugma BALLS
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 BusTed: that was fast
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 TheAwkes: Bloodsucker, my beloved. 
Bearudite: I wonder if you could make a D&B machine with radio active mats
 matthaus_c: they really just throw a fucking bloodsucker at you
 BlindPathfinder: this is the bit where i decided to lower the difficulty
  TXC2: we STALKERing now !
pattem0re: Jesus Christ
 Lysander_salamander: they were a lot more bullet-sponge in the first week of release
 ButButTheJesus: so I died like 7 times there before I could kill that one
 DigitalSeahorse: not a son of a bitch but yeah
 Amentur: Yup 
 A_Dub888: @potatowraiths Sugmeez NUTS
 Metric_Furlong: so do we think the game is staying true to the authentic Stalker experience? 
 Nigouki: it's fine, we have backup NATO rounds
 GrassVortex: yuup, they are not messing around with the difficulty at the start of this
 KBKarma: Matara's video of this game involved a *lot* more screaming. Turns out she is terrified of horror games.
Natural_Ones_Only: Chernobyl Sucks, yeah
 ButButTheJesus: @Lysander_salamander ah ok
 DigitalSeahorse: Joan is a very nice lady
 matthaus_c: yo the detector works out of your pocket now?
Natural_Ones_Only: Mhhm, Geiger counter noises
Bearudite: its always fuses or generators isn't it
Snowwraith: @matthaus_c That's the standard anomaly noise. Separate thing.
 A_Dub888: @digitalseahorse you’re a very nice <pronoun>
 DigitalSeahorse: that crack in the plaster was shaped like Italy
 DigitalSeahorse: A_Dub888 thanks!
 DigitalSeahorse: and ditto
 SkylerRingtail: So radiation is a damage muiltiplier?
 matthaus_c: @Snowwraith ah I see, I played with those off previously

 DigitalSeahorse: glug glug
Bearudite: wait if we get speckles does that mean we have camera eyes?
 KBKarma: To be fair, Alex, vodka also doesn't cure radiation poisoning, so we're already on some thin ice regarding reality.
 JoTyler: cewrrtainly makes you feel better about it though lol
 KBKarma: Apparently so!
 DigitalSeahorse: bubble
 CataclysmicReverb: @Bearudite My guess is the same AR glasses that're giving us a compass and fit bit red bar health meter
 KBKarma: The only time I've had vodka is in a white Russian.
 Lysander_salamander: it's for plot
 Nigouki: vodka cures perception of radiation poisoning and what you can not perceive can not hurt you :V
chuck_ivan: you should place your scanner there
 KBKarma: It's a friendly booble.
 DigitalSeahorse: gloop
 PotatoWraiths: the blop is blorping
 KBKarma: In your bag and all!
 DoodlestheGreat: Well, you needed your coffee.
Gizmoloid: the man is a unit
 DigitalSeahorse: boop
 TheDevil_Risen: But Alex, isn't today the best day for new discoveries comrade?
  TXC2: all 25KG of it
 Izandai: That seems fine.
Bearudite: strong like mule, dumb like ox, hitch to plow when horse die
 KBKarma: Wow, it has a big impact for such a tiny machine.
 DigitalSeahorse: failed
 Metric_Furlong: oh I see, it's static grass
 wedge_x: someone says blyat, drink
 Fuzzra: I keep a lot of weird (but useful) shit in my bag. The scanner is a bit bulky even for me.
 DigitalSeahorse: Blyat!
 richard_ermen: @wedge_x If you do that in this stream, you'Re gonna die of alcohol poisoning really quickly, won't you?
 Nigouki: good to see these fuckos haven't changed
Gizmoloid: lol "noisy" - he asked if "charging is always so... inconspicuous" too bad they're losing the sarcasm
  TXC2: Bandits, bandits never change
 wedge_x: @richard_ermen something something, Zone drinks you
 DigitalSeahorse: hard to stealth while you're beeping 
 KBKarma: They're shooting at you, they're bandits.
  TXC2: MY BOY!
 Amentur: Viper, my beloved 
Natural_Ones_Only: And this
Natural_Ones_Only: This is my Boomstick
 DigitalSeahorse: does this version still make you slow down when you're encumbered?
 TheAwkes: An upgraded Viper is an excellent early game weapon, and a useless mid-to-late game weapon.
chuck_ivan: Press G to unload
 KBKarma: The fire?
 DigitalSeahorse: sounds like they're in a building
digital_play_gr: follow the mission over your map
  TXC2: !backseat

  TXC2: windows noises!

 CataclysmicReverb: damn you sticky keys

 DeM0nFiRe: I thought the ding was me for a sec and then I remembered I am listening on my phone lol

 Nigouki: @DigitalSeahorse Poltergeist. Invisible but killable mutant that hurts you by throwing physics objects at you
 TheAwkes: F5 is a Stalker's best friend.
  TXC2: is this game autosaving?
 Lysander_salamander: is that some sort of crouch-jump thing?
 Patorik: So, how does this one feel so far? Is it running into that problem people worried about, where it wasn't enough like the mods of the first game?
 CaffeinatedLemur: wait... a modern STALKER game that autosaves!?  Is that allowed? Are the Authorities aware?
 DigitalSeahorse: @Nigouki ah I missed the flying object
MrSzpertoPacaray: Shoot the glowing thing

 Lysander_salamander: wow
 JoTyler: you can kill ghosts???
 CaffeinatedLemur: whelp
  TXC2: right chat I'm off
GedankenPalast_: 
 DaxStrife: People do that. In Florida.
Mysticman89: anomalies seem like they'd just grab your buillets and hurl them back
 JoTyler: yeah i'd just assume it would spit your bullets right back at you XD
 spicyFerret_: I may be stupid.
  TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Alex
 Izandai: *Florida has entered the chat*
 wedge_x: silly, everyone knows you nuke hurricanes
Mushbie: @JoTyler no, but that isn't a ghost 
 Natimus_Prime: Florida Man shoots at hurricane, gets hit by own bullet
 A_Dub888: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/InexpensiveOddCaribouDatSheffy-7MAePPq-tQLZQMPz
digital_play_gr: that’s a Poltergeist and you can shoot and kill him
 JoTyler: ahhh gotcha
 Strebenherz: Conflicting Pacific rim experience?
 orangeceltic71: No Watch & Play?
  Juliamon: Graham's sick
 JeremyDevoid: I had a friend who decided to do the shoot a hurricane thing to slow it down that the southern US tried several years ago. It went as well as you would expect. Lots of wasted ammo for no reason other than to be dumb butts
 orangeceltic71: Ah. Thanks for the update.
 A_Dub888: @TXC2 Sleep well STALKER
 DigitalSeahorse: oof
 Lysander_salamander: dang
Natural_Ones_Only: Do we need to kill thsi ghost?
 NorthstarTex: classic stalker
 DigitalSeahorse: kicked the bucket
 better_seasons: ahh in zone bucket kick you
 CaffeinatedLemur: @TXC2 good to see ya, sleep well
 Nigouki: I hope so
 JoTyler: do we still have a death counter?
chuck_ivan: you can
 Nigouki: cuz otherwise it's miserable
GedankenPalast_: Do you want to know?
MrSzpertoPacaray: Yes you can kill the poltergeist.
chuck_ivan: I killed it
 DigitalSeahorse: gotta go fast?
grandchickenlord: I’ve kind of wanted to get into the stalker games, but bounced off them before. do you think this game is a good intro? does it got a good stalker mouthfeel?
 Nigouki: SoC did have a whole room to teach you to shoot and kill the ghost
Gizmoloid: how much ammo does it take?
 better_seasons: also yes it can be killed but absolutly bullet sponge at the moment
digital_play_gr: 250 hours in the zone I think I know
 A_Dub888: As Serge would say: "Oh buckets"
 SkylerRingtail: Clearly the answer to bucket-throwing poltergeist is to throw a grenade at it. Surely.
GedankenPalast_: Alex, pressing L or the mouse wheel is also flashlight.
 DigitalSeahorse: I think it's too soon to tell if this game is good intro
 DigitalSeahorse: this is first play through only an hour in
grandchickenlord: how’s the mouthfeel so far?
 TheAwkes: No Stalker game is a good "intro" to Stalker, really, but Stalker 2 is a good Stalker game, without doubt.
 Nigouki: try the NATO rounds, they have +50% effectiveness against ghost of communism
 A_Dub888: *cocks gun* Zone's haunted *fires a few rounds but does nothing* Well..... shit
 KBKarma: Right, I'm back, what's happened?
 DigitalSeahorse: just don't start with Clear Sky
 Nigouki: there we go!
 Nigouki: SUCCESS

 DigitalSeahorse: 
 JoTyler: @KBKarma alex is having a vengeance with a ghost
 JoTyler: and won!!
  Juliamon: It wasn't a ghost, it was just an invisible asshole!
 Greendrag13: Howldy! You taking down some lumpy lads?
 KBKarma: @JoTyler Wooo!
 Lysander_salamander: well, that's an odd-looking creature
 CaffeinatedLemur: eww, eat its liver to gain its strength and its heart to gain its power
grandchickenlord: if you think about it due to gravitational anomalies the center of mass of a creature might be very far off
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 A_Dub888: @Juliamon porque no los dos?
 DaxStrife: The ghost had meat! Meat Ghost!
 TheAwkes: Ah, I see you, too, punish asshole mutants for being assholes after you kill them.
chuck_ivan: F5 for quick save
 Nigouki: they're really doing a fucking speedrun of all the fucked up monsters of the original games, which makes me worried for whatever is new....

 ButButTheJesus: what is it
 SquareDotCube: Cult
 Wolfstrike_NL: The Bat Sign?
Mushbie: a cult
grandchickenlord: @skylerringtail so “what’s that precious?” I’ve heard Alex say that phrase a lot, and I love it. but is it a reference to something or something?
 Wolfstrike_NL: Are we in Gothem
 enbycephalopod: definitely not a cult tm
 brainbosh: It's been so long since I played these games I have no idea what anything means lol

 notthepenguins: ah gotcha, indicator of weirdo territory
 MrTulip: I'm sure it's fine
 MrTulip: It's just some hobbyists
 Amentur: They were mind controlled puppets who were *VERY* well equipped and aggressive
  Juliamon: "What's <object> precious?" is a Gollum reference
 NightValien28: chiki and briki stalkers
  Simriel: No Monolith around here... Monolith is gone...
 CaffeinatedLemur: they are .... special bois who win special prizes
 Izandai: @grandchickenlord @SkylerRingtail Lord of the Rings?
 Lysander_salamander: is the armor or clothing also something you can loot?
 enbycephalopod: 30 lus chamber?
  Simriel: 1 in the chamber
 Amentur: One in the chamber
 TheAwkes: 30 in the mag, 1 in the chamber.
 GasCityGaming: chamber?
 CaffeinatedLemur: 30 in the mag, 1 in the chamber
 JoTyler: "what's taters, precious?" is the original line
 enbycephalopod: You did not
chuck_ivan: 30 mag + 1 loaded
 Amentur: No
Mushbie: you did not
 TheAwkes: You have not missed it.
 KBKarma: You'll get bolts later.
 Nigouki: get your cult uniforms from temu!
 JoTyler: nope
grandchickenlord: @izandai yeah but the tone, and context never seems to fit the lotr precious.
 Lysander_salamander: later you get bolts, after some plot
 TheAwkes: You will not get binocs.
 CataclysmicReverb: 30 rounds by design, but the mag spring has a little more give than it should
 Amentur: On a similar note: there are no binoculars in Stalker 2
GedankenPalast_: Sadly no binocs
 KBKarma: fffffffff
chuck_ivan: unfortunately, no binoculars for you
 CaffeinatedLemur: @Amentur wait, really?
 JoTyler: then how do you get special eyes
  Juliamon: Not sure why they decided against binocs
 Lysander_salamander: I wonder if someone is going to mod in binoculars
GedankenPalast_: @CaffeinatedLemur Model wise they are there...you can't buy or use one
 KBKarma: Zeppelin?
Mushbie: blimp
 brainbosh: a dirigible?
 KBKarma: Or the sky is broken.
 Delta4904: Barrage Balloon?

 DoodlestheGreat: Swamp gas reflecting off a weather balloon
 TheDangerWaffle: @JoTyler MY BRANNDDD
 CaffeinatedLemur: @GedankenPalast_ well huh.  Modders are gonna mod then
 niccus: it's the future, we use apps instead of bolts now *chucks phone into anomaly*
 jacqui_lantern234: @TheDangerWaffle im such a fool! 
 brainbosh: That makes me wonder if a hot air balloon is safer than a helicopter in the zone lol
 accountmadeforants: A good year in the zone is when most of the deaths are just by gunshot
 enbycephalopod: The safe keeps things safe
 enbycephalopod: this message brought to you by safe
 TheAwkes: @CaffeinatedLemur I never felt the need, you generally end up carrying a gun with optics to do the job.
 Amentur: @CaffeinatedLemur The modders are also going to have to give me those night vision goggles I can clearly see on some NPC armor 
 KBKarma: They had more important things to worry about?
 CaffeinatedLemur: @TheAwkes oh, fair enough, good point
 KBKarma: What could go right?
 matthaus_c: @Amentur oh don't worry. modders LOVE nvgs
 KBKarma: They're natural! They're just weird.
 CaffeinatedLemur: @Amentur best I can offer is GameBoy camera image quality thermal... with 3 degrees of contrast
 Izandai: Oh fuck
 KBKarma: Look, duders.
 Nigouki: in the years since the last game, the noosphere has been overloaded by gooning
 KBKarma: Where did they even come from?

 Lysander_salamander: nice of him
 TheAwkes: It didn't occur to me until now, watching this, that narrative smoke is the only smoke that ever happens in the game.
 niccus: doink

 A_Dub888: How did Richter get the Qwopter into The Zone??
 PotatoWraiths: friend bolt!
Snowwraith: Whirligig I think right?
 matthaus_c: they have to be
Mushbie: so the secret tech is to store all your weapons in the safe :3
offbeatwitch: this comes up in Otherside Picnic as well so I assume it's a roadside picnic thing?
 matthaus_c: they weren't in Roadside Picnic
 Lysander_salamander: I think they were briefly mentioned in the novel.
offbeatwitch: nvm then!
 BlindPathfinder: thez are just missing the bits of cloth tied to them
 Metric_Furlong: someone chucks a bold into one of those anomalies once in the book, if I'm remembering it correctly
 matthaus_c: @Lysander_salamander oh shit fr
 Lysander_salamander: I read the novel recently.  Not what I was expecting.
 Metric_Furlong: (the book, funnily enough, is set in Canada)
 NoxStryx: They mention them in the novel im pretty sure
 KBKarma: There's also an anime and a manga called Otherside Picnic.
grandchickenlord: it seems like any small object would work. like pebbles. but bolts are cool
 Metric_Furlong: the book is good, can confirm
 ButButTheJesus: a r t
 Fuzzra: Ooh, I didn't know they were directly related.
 DigitalSeahorse: @KBKarma  a menga too!
 Metric_Furlong: a Tarkovksy film being slow and arty, you say? 
 KBKarma: @DigitalSeahorse Yup, it's far past where the anime went.
 Lysander_salamander: It reads sort of like those mafia novels, where the main character joins up because he thinks it'll make him rich and respected.
  Juliamon: ah, I did wonder if Otherside Picnic was related
 DigitalSeahorse: manga*
 KBKarma: From what I've heard, directly inspired by Roadside Picnic.
offbeatwitch: otherside picnic dares to ask what if roadside picnic was lesbians
 KBKarma: Yup, 100%.
 matthaus_c: same deal reading Solaris
 NoxStryx: @grandchickenlord i think in the book it is just a jar of small useless bolt and metal bits. I wish that the game had like a bunch of different models so each time you pull out a new thing the throw it is different
 Metric_Furlong: @offbeatwitch there are some other tonal differences as well, to be fair
 KBKarma: Ah, he's cursed.
grandchickenlord: I’ve never read the book but I love the concept behind it.
 Lysander_salamander: aliens showed up, did some stuff that messed with the physics of some areas, and pretty much ignored humanity.
 Fuzzra: I learned a lot by reading the books for Day Watch, Night Watch,. etc. Then I learned they were written by a dick.
 DigitalSeahorse: LoadingReadyRun have you read or seen Outside Picnic?
 DoodlestheGreat: Siracha?
 Amentur: There's a couple new factions
 matthaus_c: can't believe they're powercreeping Duty and Freedom
 NoxStryx: I find that anything translated from slavic languages has a different feel. Always wonder if it was a translation issues.
 KBKarma: Yeah. The aliens stopped on earth for a sort of picnic, treating humanity like ants, and then moved on.
  Juliamon: ah, that new faction smell
  Juliamon: (wait, no, that's just poo)
grandchickenlord: like aliens arrived, barely even noticed us, and left a bunch of trash that to us seems like unimaginable supernatural objects because of their technology
 ButButTheJesus: @Juliamon could be both
grandchickenlord: kind of reminds me a little of the comic book “Trees” where alien ships arrive, and don’t really pay any attention to humans, just do their own thing. while humans keep having to react to what they do
 NoxStryx: I think the book is free on the authors website if you like ebooks
 Lysander_salamander: Probably influenced SCP in a few ways
 Fuzzra: "This is the world we inhabit and it is normal for us."
 wedge_x: kindle should have the most recent translation, which is decent
 matthaus_c: so many things in this series would definitely be SCPs
Bearudite: fallout wiht much less whimsy
 micalovits: Also a lot of comparisons to the Metro games
 matthaus_c: @Bearudite well. differently placed whimsy I'd say
 Fuzzra: @micalovits Ah, I do love a bit of Metro.
 ButButTheJesus: right, I think the original was the same year as Bioshock and a year before Fallout 3
 matthaus_c: if r/stalker catches a whiff of anyone comparing it to fallout tho... 
 NoxStryx: Doesnt one of the book characters have like a furry white daughter because of his exposure?
Mysticman89: metro exodus just casual has anomalies for some reason
 matthaus_c: I need to try Metro again. I bounced off of 2033 because of the sheer amount of cutscenes at the start, never tried one again
 PotatoWraiths: I don't know why it feels so weird to see your character's own shadow
 Fuzzra: My favourite aspect of Metro, for gameplay, is the value of a good airgun
 Izandai: Huh, weird.
 DigitalSeahorse: and partying with a dead guy to the music of rebel Russian musicians
 brainbosh: Be lucky if you could get them from 10 feet away with a makarov lol
 matthaus_c: could make that shot with a 1911 god's perfect gun
Mysticman89: enhanced versus regular being distinct gasmes on steam for many of the stalkers mean I got to 100% them twice in only slightly differing degrees of fidelity
Mysticman89: er, metros
 PotatoWraiths: borked
 brainbosh: did you drop the mag or was that just hte animation?
 TheAwkes: Your compass does, within a narrow range. But the map doesn't.
 hieroglyphica: That was just the animation
 Fuzzra: @Mysticman89 If you're old enough to have boxes of old games with codes on the back of the manual it's always worth seeing if Steam will accept them.
 Amentur: You can see bodies with loot on the radar up top
 matthaus_c: boar alert boar alert
grandchickenlord: 30-50 wild boars
 DigitalSeahorse: this giant piggie went wee wee snort all the way after you
 Mangledpixel: boar boar boar booooarrrrr 
 brainbosh: pigs will outlive us all
 matthaus_c: boar packs fuckin suck so bad
 KBKarma: The only animals not affected by the aliens were the octopuses.
 matthaus_c: there has to be a Minecraft mod set in the Zone, right?
 KBKarma: Doggies. 
 BlindPathfinder: he
 Izandai: Oh my god that is so many dogs.
 silenceaux: Oh wow that's so many
 Izandai: And they're all so mad.
 JoTyler: @matthaus_c lol nether gte just takes you to the zone?
 KBKarma: Knife time?
 NightValien28: we got the whole pack
 DigitalSeahorse: these doggos are already dead
 hieroglyphica: So many dogs!
 L0rdX33n: dedicated pack
 DaxStrife: Knife time
 JoTyler: matthaus_c actually that's just kind of Vintage Story lol
 JoTyler: minecraft+anomaly
 brainbosh: No dog meat?
 matthaus_c: @JoTyler ayo?
 matthaus_c: never heard of it
 Izandai: Such riches!
chuck_ivan: F5 for quick save
 DigitalSeahorse: knotty
 Fuzzra: Beer and a grenade. The breakfast of champions.
TheFickleCat: Beer
 DigitalSeahorse: woo
 DigitalSeahorse: save?
 JoTyler: matthaus_c oh, Vintage Story was originally a minecraft mod, that makes sense. but yeah, wilderness survival sandbox with horror themes, although i think it's specifially more lovecraft inspired
 CataclysmicReverb: @matthaus_c I think that's the one that's kinda a spinoff of some really old but really strong ultra crunchy minecraft modpack
 JoTyler: yeah it's v crunchy, but if youre into that, it's pretty neat
 matthaus_c: looking at the trailer rn, this looks sick
 KBKarma: Is that technical alive?
grandchickenlord: @fuzzra and I think the bear has more calories
grandchickenlord: beer
 DigitalSeahorse:   quack quack
grandchickenlord: depending, they might exactly equal actually. I found 251,000 j for a grenade, which is 59 kilocalories.
 KBKarma: Li'l bit radieractive there bud.
 DigitalSeahorse: right through the hogweed
Boon_33: Don't worry, the radiation is treating the cancer, he got from the other radiation.

TheAinMAP: 
 matthaus_c: that bloodsucker is a bit long in the tooth
 DigitalSeahorse:  good thing we saved
 Marvoleath: I think it did eat it, with the rest of you

 KBKarma: It's OK, it can't swim.
 KBKarma: I was wrong, it can.
Boon_33: CSTO standard 7.62 clay mover rounds.
 Fuzzra: I love the way ammunition calibers are seen very differently depending on whether they're the same size in metric or American customary.
 matthaus_c: the roar had me fearing a pseudogiant ngl
 KBKarma: Do you know, you could be in trouble.
 Nigouki: "failure to extract" is what my parents called me 
 JoTyler: lmao

 SkylerRingtail: Aww, couldn't grab the shotty in time

 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 TheAwkes: The Zone is more hostile in the beginning with no gear than in the endgame with upgraded weapons and exoskeletons.
Reaper_IsMyName: 4 rounds and a dream
 matthaus_c: you can't prone? that's uncharacteristic
 DigitalSeahorse: how low can you crouch?
 Delta4904: Skif and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
 TheAwkes: You can't.
 DigitalSeahorse: dangit

 TheAwkes: Just your every day casual disorienting howl.
 matthaus_c: I would /hope/ there aren't any of the psychic bastards this early
chuck_ivan: thats why you quick save
 accountmadeforants: Depends on if you're in the habit of getting your blood removed from your body
 NorthstarTex: 
 DigitalSeahorse: what if they're too smart to cross the electric fense?
 DigitalSeahorse: fence*
  Simriel: Is there anything more STALKERthan hiding in a corner from a bloodsucker
 matthaus_c: they sure are lmao
 Izandai: 
Reaper_IsMyName: oh it counts your deaths thats cute
 azureHaights: "I'll wait. i WILL wait."
 KBKarma: I'm a bounce. Work tomorrow.
 KBKarma: Have a good one Alex, everybody!
Boon_33: hey chat, When I watch this Vod back, will the question (what stalker/why stalker) be answered?
 accountmadeforants: Rude of them to walk into an alley while being invisible. Normally the point of going into an alley is being highly visible so you get shot. >:(
 DigitalSeahorse: arf
grandchickenlord: should’ve looked that gift horse you rode in on in the mouth
 JoTyler: Boon_33 what do you mean?
 Lysander_salamander: there's a mod that lets you mantle head-high objects.  Which is nice
 JoTyler: or is that a reference i dont get lol
Boon_33: @JoTyler I don't know much about the stalker games. did Alex go into it?
 DigitalSeahorse: do you know much about Chernobyl?
 matthaus_c: the most polished turd
 DigitalSeahorse: cause the zone is it's base
grandchickenlord: yeah I know that. I have that fondness for E.Y.E. divine cybermancy. the jankiest shit. but I love it
 DigitalSeahorse: and areas around it
 j_crane330: 
 AtomicAlchemical: Can't remember if I've heard you answer this already Alex, but did you ever read the Soviet-Era Science Fiction novel that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. film and game IP is heavily inspired by?
 AtomicAlchemical: yay!
 jacqui_lantern234: yeah, turns out nuclear plant meltdowns are grim as hell 
 AtomicAlchemical: love Roadside Picnic
 DigitalSeahorse: I think last time I played Pripyat I got stuck cause someone kept beating me to a door I was supposed to get through first
 Gekyouryuu: I gotta remember to watch/read Otherside Picnic
 Gekyouryuu: yuri anime about an anomaly zone
 matthaus_c: manga based on the book
 DigitalSeahorse: it's a manga and an anime
 Izandai: An anime/manga that's a yet third lineage.
grandchickenlord: other side picnic is a yuri manga also based on roadside picnic
 Amentur: Otherside Picnic is an anime also inspired by Roadside Picnic
 DigitalSeahorse: that's why I was asking cause chat was talking about it and you didn't comment until now
 notthepenguins: yes
 NightValien28: yeah its real cool
Mysticman89: is there a heavily soviet stalker type aethetic dating sim game yet?
 Brozard: starring Blyatsune Miku
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 jacqui_lantern234: after i read roadside picnic
 notthepenguins: Otherside Picnic
 matthaus_c: what better setting for a yuri story?
 notthepenguins: It's by all accounts VERY good
grandchickenlord: yeah. two girls exploring an alternate dimension that works a bit like the zone
 Izandai: 
 matthaus_c: @Brozard holy shit
 DigitalSeahorse: Brozard 
 Lysander_salamander: Otherside picnic is a novel series, about two young women that explore spooky limnal spaces and harvest them for resources for a research institute
 NightValien28: its like a japan inspired zone
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 notthepenguins: more the anomalies, less the radiation
 Lysander_salamander: Like, those meme spooky microfictions
grandchickenlord: it’s also inspired by Japanese urban legends
Boon_33: Godzilla
  Simriel: I'm fine, Fukishimi with you
 accountmadeforants: Japan definitely doesn't have a history with radioactive fallout
 DigitalSeahorse: those brave seniors helping with cleanup
 AtomicAlchemical: I love the background of the novel's creation and the fact that the authors only got away with setting it in North America because they were able to convince the censorship board that it was a critique of capitalistism
 Gekyouryuu: anime came out pretty much exactly 4 years ago. started in January of 2021
 notthepenguins: But yeah, I'm genuinely surprised you haven't heard of it, Otherside Picnic seems like very your jam. Moody af too.
Boon_33: bug or feature?
 AtomicAlchemical: No you are the guy at the top of it
 DigitalSeahorse: hehe
 Izandai: Do a flip!
 DigitalSeahorse: so high
 notthepenguins: simply hide your loot at the most visible point
 Gekyouryuu: @notthepenguins I think I mentioned it in chat back when the anime was coming out, but chat is a large beast, and comments are easy to miss
 Nigouki: can you do a flawless nade kill? :V
 accountmadeforants: Maybe someone relied on everyone assuming there'd be a guy atop the tower to hide their stash.
grandchickenlord: it’s also very distinct from roadside picnic or the stalker series setting or story wise , but it’s super inspired. like they even throw bolts to find dangerous invisible anomalies.
 Amentur: 
Boon_33: if only you brought a couple rocks up there with you.
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 Lysander_salamander: 
 notthepenguins: "Were" being the operative word
 DigitalSeahorse: hope they weren't frendos
 Nigouki: @Boon_33 kinetic grenade :3
Boon_33: @Nigouki mk1 anti-goliath
 rentar42: Reminds me of one of the Sam & Max games: "I hope there wasn't anyone in that bus ... that we knew".
 DaxStrife: Oh he fighting boars.
 DaxStrife: Was that guy named "Valve?"
 DigitalSeahorse: this fight is a boar
 azureHaights: vadim is vadead
grandchickenlord: retroactive moral justification
 KV1NN4: How sweet, a corpse bouquet
 azureHaights: Biblically accurate bandits
 DigitalSeahorse: they wanted to save money on their coffin
Boon_33: @grandchickenlord 
 Nigouki: that momentary temptation to stab the gas cylinder
chuck_ivan: talk to him
 Nigouki: yeeeeeeesssss
goombalax: special sale today only
grandchickenlord: looks he still alive, he’s jiggling
 NightValien28: shake it shake it

 DigitalSeahorse: 5 finger sale

 Marvoleath: !heychat
  LRRbot: Please ONLY offer advice when the streamer uses the phrase "Hey, chat...". Let them try to learn the game on their own, even if it means they miss a thing or two.
 DigitalSeahorse: only help if he asks for it
Bearudite: what about fronseating
 Metric_Furlong: don't backseat unless you want your sack beat
 azureHaights: coopin's
 matthaus_c: this is the kindest type of man you'll find in the Zone
 JoTyler: what about ghostriding
 terribleplan: @Marvoleath jinx
 jacqui_lantern234: Chopin's? 
 DigitalSeahorse: Alex can frontseat as much as he wants
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 schordash: wonder if they have promo cards too
 azureHaights: Solid human, nothing incorporeal about him at all
  Simriel: Ditch anything Red you don't wanna use
 TheAwkes: Anyone who doesn't try to kill you on sight is The Zone's version of a good guy.
 DigitalSeahorse: we need a gas mask
Boon_33: Well chat is 80% post-soviet nuclear survivalists, so how are we not to give him advice? 
  Simriel: Red weapons can't be sold
 DigitalSeahorse: at some point
 Lysander_salamander: yay
grandchickenlord: @simriel why?
 DigitalSeahorse: what's that
 matthaus_c: can't wait for a mod that lets you scrap guns for parts
 Clench_Eastwood: OI BLIN
 JadedCynic: 
 matthaus_c: oh BOY
 rentar42: this is fine!
 DigitalSeahorse: death hole
 GrassVortex: 
Boon_33: Alex will never need a soundboard.
 DigitalSeahorse: "This hole was made for me!"
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: why did I recognise that alarm sound ¬¬
 Clench_Eastwood: yes comrade, skull means cream of ice inside
 JadedCynic: Alex IS his own soundboard
Boon_33: @JadedCynic samesies
 Clench_Eastwood: rick!
 Ehrin_CB: pickle!
 Greendrag13: No, its the eating kind
 Nigouki: full on cucumber!
 Lysander_salamander: they don't let you hold the pickle?  Sad.
 DigitalSeahorse: pickle surprise!
 tergonis: oooo bulb of garlic too
Boon_33: @fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn movies 
 JadedCynic: @Clench_Eastwood yeah, that icon is clearly "warning: ice cream headache ahead" 
 Clench_Eastwood: exactly
 rentar42: ok ... about that knife ... what is that made off and why is it a sledgehammer?
 DigitalSeahorse: we're all rooting for ya!
 NorthstarTex: that area is made of "NOPE!"
 JadedCynic: throw a bolt?
 terribleplan: Quincy Jones - Ironside
 azureHaights: It's the theme to Ironside
 Amentur:  
 DigitalSeahorse: it's hot in here
 Clench_Eastwood: 
 DigitalSeahorse: spicy!
 matthaus_c: chat I think we're cooked
Boon_33: so, wow, natural gas is cheap there.
 Clench_Eastwood: ya, this is just how they do fireworks
 JadedCynic: whew
 TheAwkes: A successful cavity search.
 DigitalSeahorse: hot cavity?
 DigitalSeahorse: wat
 matthaus_c: we've found it, it's The Ussy
 JadedCynic: TOASTY
 Clench_Eastwood: well thats in our pocet now
 DigitalSeahorse: a cavity from a cavity
Boon_33: "the area is a little flamey, but it's no Uzbekistan." 8/10
 DigitalSeahorse: eeeeeeeeeeek
 JadedCynic: ding
 micalovits: Friends!
 matthaus_c: we're eating roast pork tonight
goombalax: Cheevo!
 Clench_Eastwood: thats a hard nope
 Ehrin_CB: Pet the dog!
 JadedCynic: welp
 KeytarCat: cheevo get!
 Amentur: Grilled Flesh 
 Ehrin_CB: don't like that
 DigitalSeahorse: hehe
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 NorthstarTex: what I'm picking up is nasty stuff is near artifacts
 Clench_Eastwood: free lunch!
 matthaus_c: it's cool that Bloodsuckers know to avoid anomalies but Fleshes don't
 JadedCynic: Venya - where are you?
 DigitalSeahorse: that looks very uncomfy
 JadedCynic: did he get got by the Fleshes?
Boon_33: dude has bad luck
 DigitalSeahorse: LOL
 JadedCynic: bye, Venya...you utter GOOB
 matthaus_c: I live, I die, I die again
 Marvoleath: not even a thank you, serves him right 
 JadedCynic: "no cure for stupid"
 matthaus_c: uh oh is it spetsnaz
 Clench_Eastwood: Alex, if I never played any of the other stalker games would I be able to get my bearings with 2 pretty quick?
 DigitalSeahorse: welp
 Lysander_salamander: it seems to have a pretty good tutorial
 JoTyler: yeah i dont think you need to know anything about the others to play it
 Clench_Eastwood: cool
Boon_33: ty
 DigitalSeahorse: aside from the no prone thing
 matthaus_c: if you've never played them, none of them are truly /easy/ to get your bearings in, but it'll be fun figuring stuff out
 Amentur: Not having played the others can even help because you then don't try to lean and suddenly heal yourself 😅
 Clench_Eastwood: he must be brotherhood of steel 
 DigitalSeahorse: rude
 DigitalSeahorse: just stomp on your search
 azureHaights: hweh
grandchickenlord: which outfit are you with the fashion police?
Boon_33: dude has a great kit. (totally don't follow him home, that would be rude.)
 DigitalSeahorse: bweh
 Nigouki: now we can consume his sausage
 Clench_Eastwood: cold but kind
 DigitalSeahorse: coocoo
 matthaus_c: with enough radiation an infection can turn into a friend
grandchickenlord: on the plus side being infected with radioactive bacteria would make it very easy to identify on scans
 DigitalSeahorse: one would be a bit coocoo to choose to live here
 Ehrin_CB: I'm sure rent is cheap enough
Boon_33: @grandchickenlord I don't think the subsequent generations would stick out necessarily.
 azureHaights: fwoomp

Boon_33: uhhhh
 DigitalSeahorse: good time to save
 accountmadeforants: Ah, a cathedral to bad things happening
 azureHaights: Ah yes, good old chunky updraft
Boon_33: seems safe.
 Izandai: huh
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 Clench_Eastwood: I feel like its probably eating 20 bolts every minute
 rentar42: ok, I'm very impressed with the look and feel of this game so far ... turns out just modernizing stalker is actually quite a big deal
Boon_33: hehehe
 JoTyler: surrounded by spicy bubbles
 JoTyler: do the bolts remove them or just kinda reset them?
 matthaus_c: reset them for a bit
 JoTyler: gotcha
 accountmadeforants: I hope the bubbles have the decency to eat bullets
Boon_33: can NPC's hear your meter?
grandchickenlord: yeah decomposition will make you sour
 Izandai: Fancy
 JoTyler: oh that's definitely safe to touch
 Ehrin_CB: @JoTyler thankfully it hovers!
 rentar42: "It doesn't do anything ... no, it does nothing!"
grandchickenlord: but what will it do to me
 Lysander_salamander: another glitch?
GedankenPalast_: Press Q

 DigitalSeahorse: sparkly air
 JoTyler: knock knock!
 DigitalSeahorse: peekaboo!
 Izandai: Is it just me or is there radiation snow in our eyes?
 JadedCynic: maybe a prison?
 JoTyler: there is yeah
 Ehrin_CB: Ah sick, didn't know STALKER had zeppelins
 Ehrin_CB: well that's ominous
 JadedCynic: looks more a like a 'barrage balloon'
 micalovits: That sounds normal for Stalker yea
 JadedCynic: ^^^
Bearudite: wait its a zepplin? I thought those were rigid?
grandchickenlord: zeppelins are an emergent phenomenon. like how if you put a bunch of wheat in a jar mice just spawn
Boon_33: OBS/COMS balloon? air defense wires?
 JoTyler: it's the brotherhood of steel moving in
 matthaus_c: BoS and Monolith are not so different, but they would /not/ get along 
Natural_Ones_Only: For you, the day M. Bison graced Chornobyl was the worst day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday
 JadedCynic: oh yeah, they'd get along like siblings @matthaus_c
 Lysander_salamander: I wonder if it still kills you if you chug down 10 vodkas at a time
Boon_33: the shawshank pipe
 DigitalSeahorse: reused assets
frank_the_great: Stalker? I hardly know her!
grandchickenlord: sounded like a pig wolf
 TheAwkes: Going into the Cordon again was like coming home.
 kireawolf: @Lysander_salamander I sure hop so
scarletcynda:   
 JadedCynic: maybe ran too loudly?
scarletcynda: hiiiii hiiiii
Boon_33: war were declared
scarletcynda: i dont think ive ever decided to talk here ...
 TheAwkes: The IPSF doesn't mess around.
scarletcynda: "yup.. his mate saw ye"
 matthaus_c: oh yea, the railway from the cordon with the grav anomaly in the middle
Boon_33: enjoying the show @scarletcynda ?
 DoodlestheGreat: Or an old faction with a new name.
 JadedCynic: but yeah, that looks like an observation balloon - a  small gondola hanging below it?
 FarleyF: the IPSF aint no one to fuck with - just ask the wu tang clan
 JoTyler: it's just a weather balloon
scarletcynda: @Boon_33 AYeeee i started watching around  the  crapshoot times lol just never twitch
 Amentur: IPSF are basically renamed military. I can understand not wanting to shoot at actual Ukrainian military
 JoTyler: reflecting radiation light
 chaostreader: independent private special forces? it fits the letters but I doubt it’s right.
goombalax: @JoTyler *nods* Swamp Gas
Mysticman89: I was gonna say, these are details that make watching you quite enjoyable
 TheAwkes: I'm not sure if it's just because monitors used to be much smaller, but things feel scaled larger in Stalker 2 than the versions of the same things that were in Stalker.
 JadedCynic: IPSF....International Protective Security Force?  Multi-national coalition guarding the reactor site?
 rentar42: wait, there's thing in this? I love thing!
Bearudite: shrek is swampgaslighting us
Boon_33: @scarletcynda lotta good crapshots this holiday season.

 JadedCynic: @Izandai just too dang real   (everyone knows you should shoot the WOOD around the reinforced metal of the lock 
 CaptainSpam: "Your weapons are useless against me! *continues running*"
 DigitalSeahorse: sounds like HL blue suits
 AziraphalesShop: Does the new one still have the like  areas of instability/stalker game instabilty areas
 Izandai: ??????????????????????

 matthaus_c: sun rises east, stalker enemies have 40/20 vision
 JadedCynic: @AziraphalesShop oh YES
Boon_33: @CaptainSpam that's just being smart 
 PotatoWraiths: why is it spicy
TheAinMAP: That one's just a little past "brand new"

 DigitalSeahorse: that was Wilhelm
Boon_33: @jacqui_lantern234 ah, me too.
 AziraphalesShop: @JadedCynic Thank you for understanding my exhausted non-sentence.
Boon_33: @jacqui_lantern234 might send it next year
grandchickenlord: “what the fuck was that” is very essentially to the stalker experience I would guess?
Boon_33: I wish Ian would record the whole CD for Zen Master Holidays.
 MAPBoardgames: Alex is known for playing games where you say "what the f is that?" frequently
 AziraphalesShop: @grandchickenlord Yeah I'd say that's accurate
 rentar42: that sounds more "death" than "life", really

 MAPBoardgames: Live and let die?
 Izandai: They really hate rubberneckers in these parts huh?
 JadedCynic: @AziraphalesShop you were just as clear as the envrions    Alex has been through at least a couple of spots with anomalies (that yielded artifacts - one had some...'animals' show up as he tried to leave, and he aad to flee and let the anomalies take them)
 JadedCynic: 
 PotatoWraiths: hehehe
goombalax: maybe just scaled up? distances further apart?
 terribleplan: The MP5 slap is for all of us, Alex
TheAinMAP:

 matthaus_c: industrial schmeng

Boon_33: if only we had abundant flares... or abundant anything.
 MAPBoardgames: we have abundant exsanguination. is that good for anything?

 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 AziraphalesShop: 30-50 feral hogs
  Simriel: U.S folks got reall weirded out by the blue shotgun shells
 matthaus_c: just jorking that hog
 shushu2539: its just a friendly boar..or is it?
 Gaz_L: is this like the pigs in Dark Souls 2?
 NorthstarTex: that boar is regenerating
 matthaus_c: early game is pretty wasteful anyways
 MAPBoardgames: two buddys!
 NorthstarTex: the roommate!
 DigitalSeahorse: uhoh
 DigitalSeahorse: maybe they'll shoot the boars for you
 MAPBoardgames: While the one was running around just out of range, that's when the attack comes. Not from the front. But from the sides where the other two have snuck up on you.
 DigitalSeahorse: hehe
 PotatoWraiths: (dies)
 DigitalSeahorse: one little piggie
Boon_33: "running around just out of range" was one of my favorite activates, as a jerk child.
 Capt_clown: Was always curious how they had this as a FPS game when the movie is way way more cerebral.
 MAPBoardgames: 
 DigitalSeahorse: fewf
 QuantumTwitch: save?
goombalax: these feral hogs is why we need automatic weapons
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 FarleyF: i could see this as the game that would bleed CH into the real universe ala Alex's Stream
 JadedCynic: @Capt_clown doom and unreal etc sold a lot better at the time than did Kings Quest and Zork

 QuantumTwitch: GG
 JadedCynic: thanks for the fun!
