ButButTheJesus: a shitstorm a brewin?
TXC2: Cptasparagus kinky

JollyGee29: Is it all still in that safe?
RebekahWSD: Gun went to gun heaven
ButButTheJesus: I lost one of my guns in a glitch, a monster made me drop it and then it was gone
SkathrZira: Me too, was it the two Burers in the cave?
GhassanPL: Is the game running at a low framerate or is it the stream?
TXC2: sweet tender vitels
GhassanPL: Must be something on my end then
Genie_M: There's some tearing sometimes probably vsync stuff but it's very stable
TXC2: we were looking for an other burer, that's why we stashed our non shotgun weapons
wifi12345678910: Hi Alex! How goes the hunt for the tiny jedi?
TheAwkes: The way it works out in the engine, some windows are jump-crouch some are crouch-jump, and some look like you should get through them but can't.
JollyGee29: Time to reduce your weight by storing your food in the special weightless container known as your stomach
malsareus: good evening, how irradiated are we this evening?
wifi12345678910: I thought there was one on the third floor of the other building
TXC2: hello wifi12345678910 and malsareus welcome
wifi12345678910: There's a door around the corner
RealGamerCow: that sure was a noise
sephchan: I keep mishearing that as "Pingu?"
Genie_M: Here we go
TXC2:
turns out Skif is a little chicken legged baby who can't do a 3 feet vertical leap with 80kg on his back 
TheAinMAP:
Genie_M: Emission should be truce time
RebekahWSD: Where would one even vacation to here? The seaside seems dangerous
TXC2:
that guy was VERY calm for having us shoot a shotgun right over their head 
malsareus: @TXC2 that's just Zone tuesday
TXC2:
Alex: drops a bunch of stuff he doesn't need. Also Alex: picks up more stuff he doesn't need
malsareus: @TXC2 Alex is recycling his stuff he doesn't need
DoodlestheGreat: Hi ho.
ButButTheJesus: spicy bolt

TXC2:
love how the first one when in and none of the others did
malsareus: that's carpet bombing for you
SkathrZira: Getting flashbacks to Medal of Honour Allied Assault grenade training
wifi12345678910: I don't think Skif is trying out for the baseball team any time soon
TXC2: good lord that muzzle climb
ButButTheJesus: right, I lost a gun to one of those
TXC2:
there
wifi12345678910: maybe it's for a mission you didn't pick up yet?
SkathrZira: Come get your real fake doors
TXC2:
cool game
malsareus: pffff
TXC2: !clips
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
DoodlestheGreat:
TXC2: oh it was
Genie_M: Now you jump easily
DoodlestheGreat: It would certainly save you all those grenades...
RocknGrohlNerd:
Dang it the furniture is so similar to one we had in my house when I was young. 
Genie_M: What's in the can exactly? Never could catch it
TXC2: Genie_M "meat"
JollyGee29: @Genie_M "Food"
malsareus: looks promising
ButButTheJesus: there's a smell
SkathrZira: You have mask, it'll be fine
TXC2: the fartchasm had a fastgasm
ButButTheJesus: this? good.
Walkingharder: Death totally isn't down there
Genie_M: Byeeee

RocknGrohlNerd: Or some matches
TXC2: a plot wall
Genie_M: I'm fairly certain there's a chem suit in the large building
Creideiki_SE: @RocknGrohlNerd Getting rid of underground gases by setting fire to them always works!
Genie_M: Red forest....
wifi12345678910: looks grey to me
Genie_M: It's really called that
TXC2:
400000% a psudeogiant is incoming
Walkingharder: A nice walk in the forest sounds relaxing
matthaus_c:
maybe we'll see two bloodsuckers fighting a chimera fighting a giant 
TXC2: "can't a man go for a nice walk anymore?!"
SkathrZira: Why is the forest red, I'm assuming it's something something radiation
elkae: just a lil constitutional
elkae:
good for helths 
Creideiki_SE: @SkathrZira "The name "Red Forest" comes from the ginger-brown colour of the pine trees after they died following the absorption of high levels of ionizing radiation as a consequence of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on 26 April 1986. The site remains one of the most contaminated areas in the world today."
Genie_M: Perfect midnight date place
matthaus_c: kool aid
SkathrZira: Water slows by a flat amount, if you're encumbered, it can stop you entirely
malsareus: is this how these guys all died
SkathrZira: That was an amazing shot for a M10
TheAwkes: Very convincing hallucinations.
TXC2: spooky
wifi12345678910: Psychic scavs?!
Cptasparagus: isnt that a pokemon food
TXC2: lets bug out and call it even
TheAinMAP:
Genie_M: You got its berry
TXC2: BIG MONEY!
DoodlestheGreat: SCORE
SkathrZira: Legs and Dairy Arty Fact
ArmondoSC: time to stock up on vodka
SkathrZira: Or get one of them lead lined containers
TXC2: looks like a bunker to me
TXC2: Vodka to the rescue
SkathrZira: Vodka solves most problems, causes them too but different ones
pixl_nix: Apply vodka directly to problem
TheAwkes: Good guy Freedom, hanging out in the Zone.
SkathrZira: Whenever I have a problem, drink a bottle of vodka and right away, you have a different problem
TXC2: buy sausage ?
Genie_M: At least base stores have unlimited K
chaostreader: that’s not our problem. yet.
Scarbble: the visual sparkles around the edge of the screen are from radiation i assume?
ButButTheJesus: oh they havin a bad time
TXC2: Scarbble correct
richard_ermen: So its a sorta...."casual radiation", eh?
RocknGrohlNerd: is vodka an artifact, kinda maybe
TXC2: RocknGrohlNerd in that it's a miracle of science yes
TXC2: this game needs to chill with the real fake doors
Mathanwitch: @RocknGrohlNerd there is horilka-looking artifact in this game, but if you read it carefully - it's mineral water "Crimea". why does it give you drumk effect is unexplained though, hehe
TheAwkes: Skif out here single handedly keeping the autoinjector industry alive.
Strebenherz:
booo 
RocknGrohlNerd:
Alex! 
TXC2: Skif vs the Protag of bloodbourne
Strebenherz: also good morning y'all, hope you're staying warm in this "many places got snow" week
ghyllnox: Stick them in your butt. No not like that!!!
TXC2: hello Strebenherz welcome
Strebenherz: the random? event anomalies remind me of skyrim but also skyrim's random events looped pretty quick. these keep finding new ways to surprise
TXC2: them textures
SkathrZira: @Strebenherz @Strebenherz I live in Africa, snow is not an issue here
TheAwkes: @Strebenherz Anomalies are fixed, weather events and wandering NPCs are mostly randomized, though.
Mathanwitch: how's our love life situation going? any Skifter dates I missed
Genie_M: I want this as an almost useless superpower - look at someone and know their name
Strebenherz: @SkathrZira fair, well played
Strebenherz: @TheAwkes gotcha, so less "have some dice" more "hehe we set up shenanigans"
Cptasparagus: silent but uzi
SkathrZira: They squadaddled
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Strebenherz Hello @Strebenherz we had tropical -14 Celsius, this morning so I postponed my run, until the sun was out, and also just -8C. 
TXC2: I swear no one drops good loot in this game
TheAwkes:
On the bright side, it looks like you've learned to turn yours off, too. 
Mangledpixel: and that sky doesn't like you
Genie_M: No worries it doesn't like you either
Strebenherz: it's been around -15c/5f give or take here
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Mangledpixel
TheAinMAP:
SkathrZira: Here is my 6 word horror story, Limited Bolts And They Have Weight
shushu2539: the fire has eyes
TXC2:
SkathrZira get out
TheAwkes: Those lava ones are just there to fuck up your day. All you can do is move through them fast.
Mangledpixel: magma, the forbidden salsa
richard_ermen: Oh, is this one of those famous locations near the city?
TXC2: richard_ermen maybe not famous, but it's based on a location within the exclusion zone
SkathrZira:

richard_ermen: @TXC2 Huh, for a moment I felt really reminded of that outdoor swim track shot from the 2019 show
TXC2: richard_ermen it could be that
richard_ermen: Fascinating.
TXC2: maybe we need a plot coupon ?
RocknGrohlNerd: @Strebenherz oh that is proper cold! more that that and I would not go out
richard_ermen: Also, just to note it: The atmosphere here is great. Having Alex as pilot is basically icing on the cake =)
DoodlestheGreat: ~/Havin' some roofies.../~ No wait, that's a terrible idea.
A_Dub888: how do you do fellow stalkers! What level of Zone are we today?
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 we're in yantar having taken a brief detour into the red forest
Strebenherz: @RocknGrohlNerd that plus a lot of power snow the last couple of days. no ice but enough snow to bugger up driving
PsychoI3oy: A_Dub888, wearing an artifact that actively irrates just because it gives more carrying capacity
RocknGrohlNerd: @richard_ermen I couldn´t agree more, chat is equal part funny and informative about the game. and I know nothing about nuclear history so I just sit back and enjoy the ride
ArmondoSC: somebody hates these cans
A_Dub888: @psychoi3oy must be Wednesday. I never could get the hang of Wednesdays
Genie_M: Sometimes it's so pretty
TXC2:
it's interesting contrasting my playstyle with Alex's, 'cause I would have returned to base 4 times by now
richard_ermen: @RocknGrohlNerd Couldn't agree more =)
SkathrZira: @A_Dub888 I understood that reference
Balor213: Yantar?
TXC2: Balor213 yeap
BrindleBoar: classic stalker
Strebenherz: kind of like bg3, i like how... MANY different adventures appear in this game. Like I'm certainly seeing plot things happen but there's so much different stuff and just organic stuff it's not like "oh i'm spoiled on game" it's "i wanna play this"
v_nome: Those are my emotional support grenades
ButButTheJesus: "no, I don't have a grenade problem SHADDAP"
Balor213: Mercenaries, a squad of them can have a mix of friendly and hostile mercenary stalkers @loadingreadyrun
SkathrZira: There's a pun here, I can smell it
Cptasparagus: skele friends
TXC2: "when life gives you grans, make granades"
SkathrZira: The Zone is what would happen if you gave Cave Johnson Nuclear Material
TXC2:
Call of Pripyat spoiled me on what I expect in a loot stash
Mangledpixel: wimdy
Mangledpixel: heckin wimdy
Balor213: Yantar scientific mobile bunker, no guarantee you'll get in
TXC2: sure is
SkathrZira: I bounced off the first games, Stalker 2 is the only one I've played properly
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Mangledpixel 
Strebenherz:
what just happened 
RainyMint:
Strebenherz: What was Alex running from
Mnemonicman: when did this become Let's Nope
SkathrZira: A mutant I imagine
ArmondoSC: someone wanted to say hi
JollyGee29: Got any Psi-Block?
SidewinderSky: controller was just leaning on the wall in his back yard like he was in king of the hill
Genie_M: Save.d.
TXC2: Mnemonicman always has been
MrSVCD: I did know this game had day light. Not that it helps.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @Mnemonicman From the start.
wifi12345678910: Was that a controller?
Balor213: @strebenherz there's a controller hide behind the Yantar bunker
Mnemonicman: @TXC2 good
TXC2: (projectile vomits)
Strebenherz: I'm sorry did the controller just TELEPORT you to it?
Strebenherz: WHAT?
A_Dub888: why are we occasionally rubber banding towards a Zone zombie?
TXC2: Strebenherz no, the controller does mind bending stuff
NightValien28: I don't think they can
Balor213: Closing the distance, and emptying the shotgun into the controller is RECOMMENDED
wifi12345678910: @A_Dub888 psychic attack
TXC2: A_Dub888 that's what it does
SidewinderSky: Good old Mercs, absolute failures at threat prioritization
NightValien28: A_Dub888 psychic zombie
Juliamon: oh this box is spicy
Strebenherz: I love the organic hilarity of "NOT FIGHTING THAT Y'ALL CAN HAVE FUN WITH IT"
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @Strebenherz They just screw with your perspective so you don't know where you're aiming. While your brain runs out of your ears.
ArmondoSC: ghosts?
A_Dub888: jeez what DOESNT the Zone have?
TheAinMAP:
Strebenherz: is there something inside the shed
ArmondoSC: radiation ghosts?
TheAwkes: Pills to make the ghosts go away.
Balor213: That was a hallucination caused by the controller
RocknGrohlNerd: beer is the mind killer?
Strebenherz:
The controller's nowhere NEAR HIM, it's still fucking with him?
wifi12345678910: @A_Dub888 people living happily ever after?
JollyGee29: I really like what they've done to the Controllers in this game. Much more interesting than just ripping your brain out through your face
Strebenherz: feet pics
BrindleBoar: show feet
NightValien28: them grippers
A_Dub888: @wifi12345678910 I mean, happy is subjective
NorthstarTex: send that to only fans
TXC2: wiki feet gonna have a field day with that one
Strebenherz: yes, yes it does
Strebenherz: "why did alex defcon run from something"
Juliamon: Frogs like "oh hey new enrichment"
Strebenherz: "oh it was BAD NEWS"
SkathrZira: See the little goblin, see his little feet
BrindleBoar: the continuation of life
wifi12345678910: Is there something at the container that 's interactable?
JollyGee29: You can clamber up the pile of trash next to the door, or follow the wires
A_Dub888:
upside: you don’t have to poop anymore
PsychoI3oy: if the half life series taught me anything about games, the generator near the shed is how you get in there
TXC2: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
Balor213: Do I tell him?
TXC2: Balor213 only if he asks directly
Juliamon: Please take note of the schedule update!
ScrapyardGhostTrain: No AFK? Hope folks are all fine.
TXC2: !events
A_Dub888:
@scrapyardghosttrain given the fish in subnautica, I don’t think Adam will be
ScrapyardGhostTrain:
@A_Dub888 Well, no, but that's a fate he (presumably) chose for himself. 
TXC2: and we're back
TheAinMAP:
ButButTheJesus: hullough
RocknGrohlNerd: we are so back, chat
TheAinMAP: Ooh, Bonus Streams tonight and Saturday.
ArmondoSC: they were paved over
ArmondoSC: well, chopped down and buried
KharadBanar: I'd imagine they couldn't photosynthesize anymore if they're red
TXC2: it took months I believe, the HBO show had it happen over night
eid010n: Grew back green. The red was just dieback from the initial intense irradiation.
RocknGrohlNerd: Besiege stream ? with Alex? and Paul? in this economy? so hyped for that "
ButButTheJesus: better part of valour! better part of valour!
ButButTheJesus: (that's one of the character lines in Chivarly 2 I think)
LordZarano: 'The Red Forest is the ten-square-kilometre (4 sq mi) area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant within the Exclusion Zone, located in Polesia. The name "Red Forest" comes from the ginger-brown colour of the pine trees after they died following the absorption of high levels of ionizing radiation' - Wikipedia
ArmondoSC: chair
ArmondoSC: chair why?
ArmondoSC:
TXC2: Chair is playing the part of censor today
TXC2: thank you Alex
ArmondoSC: praise the alex
ButButTheJesus: chair is trolling
SkathrZira: It's preparing a sneak attack
Strebenherz: welcome back stalker
SkathrZira: The C in stalker stands for chair
Strebenherz:
200
Juliamon: what are you all talking about, it's a Perfectly Normal Chair
Juliamon: definitely not a mimic
LordZarano: Fun fact: "A study published in 2014 found that plant matter – leaf litter and trunks of dead trees – in the Red Forest area decays at a far slower rate than is typical for forest detritus. The researchers found that microorganisms responsible for decomposing forest litter do not act on such matter within the contaminated zone at nearly the rate seen in forests outside the zone."
A_Dub888: !card perfectly normal
LRRbot: Can't find any card by that name
A_Dub888: !card armchair
LRRbot: Entirely Normal Armchair | Artifact | During your turn, if this card is in your hand, you may hide it on the battlefield. / {0}: Return this artifact to its owner's hand. Only your opponents may activate this ability and only if they see this artifact. / {2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Destroy target attacking creature.
ArmondoSC: !quote chair
LRRbot: Could not find any matching quotes.
ArmondoSC: surprising
A_Dub888: !fondquote chair
TXC2: !findquote chair
LRRbot: Quote #4249: "He's probably going to try and kill me because I sat in the wrong chair." —Cori, about James [2017-06-02]

A_Dub888: #teamwork
ArmondoSC: oh right its findquote
ArmondoSC: thank you
Strebenherz: np
TXC2: quote is for the person saying it, findquote is for text in the quote
ButButTheJesus: @Strebenherz omg perfect
Strebenherz: @ButButTheJesus on a whim, but that one def works
TXC2: it not, Grazwhiler is the place in Germany where one was used
LordZarano: I guess chair doesn't say a lot
PsychoI3oy: wasn't that one of your usernames online at one point?
RocknGrohlNerd: this road? this..... country road?
A_Dub888: well it can’t take us home, ours got blowed up good
SkathrZira: It's more of path, maybe one of exile
RocknGrohlNerd:
thank you chat 
TheDevil_Risen: Hey Alex, how's stalking?
TXC2:
there could be a road from here to our home of West Virginia, but they won't build that bridge over the Bering strait like they should
TheDevil_Risen: hahaha
TheAwkes: There are some number of stashes that link to a note somewhere and have likely better things, and there a many more random stashes not linked to notes. You can find note-linked ones just exploring normally and clear them before getting the note.
TXC2: !clips
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
TheDevil_Risen: that's one determined rat
A_Dub888: @txc2 West Virginia or /western/ Virginia?
TXC2: A_Dub888 yes
DoodlestheGreat: Moby Rat
roseofloki: Love the look of this gun
TheDevil_Risen: the make u drop thing dude is a fun design tho
BrindleBoar: @roseofloki looks like a vector? not really a gun person, dunno
TXC2: got microwaved there
TXC2: the TDI Kriss
TXC2: but in 9mm, not fun 45acp
roseofloki: Delightful!
roseofloki: There any decent Bullpups in this game?
ScrapyardGhostTrain: L85.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: L1A1 was the FAL.
TheAwkes: There's a terrible one (the 221) and there's a great one (the bullpup variant of the 7.62 sniper)
roseofloki: I could see a Steyr AUG maybe making sense
TheDevil_Risen: got my payout from my redundancy today
JollyGee29: I've had good experiences in this game with the Dnipro (real name Malyuk)
TheDevil_Risen: and launched my first interplanetary space ship in Factorio
TXC2: TheDevil_Risen congrats
TheAwkes: Oh right. the Dnipro is that third. I used it a ton and still forgot about it. There are 2 good ones.
TXC2: I swear everyone in LRR has bad direction awareness
JollyGee29: "Integral-A" is the fake name for the Vector
JollyGee29: The Riemann is also way heavier than a normal one
vinewood_og: In exclusion zone, Gorillaz listen to you?
TheAwkes: You can press shift to swap which spot is being compared if you don't want to have to change the slot a weapon is on to do that.
Mathanwitch: Sasha Boole on the radio
RocknGrohlNerd:
@vinewood_og
TXC2: switching back to our AK74 ?
JollyGee29: One thing about the vendors in Rostok that isn't ever explained, Ragman will buy red quality weapons
TheAwkes: If you have a yellow and a red of something and want to use one, you get better value repairing the red and selling the yellow than repairing the yellow and throwing away the red.
Anubis169: gotta be brutal
TheAwkes: Spitter is the custom variant.
Anubis169: LOL
JadedCynic:
oh right...that's what I was gonna do wednesday afternoon...oh well, been running errands for like 4 hours now - cya all in the VOD. 
Anubis169:
later Jaded 
RocknGrohlNerd:
@JadedCynic see ya
TXC2: hello JadedCynic welcome to the vod
Strebenherz: @JadedCynic Take care, best wishes on errands
ArmondoSC: dont forget to sell those 8 rifle grenades you dont want
ArmondoSC: oh right
TheDevil_Risen:
@TXC2 
Mathanwitch: there's reputation system in the game. if the trader is green, it means you get better deals. you need to help out the faction in the field and do their side quests to level up relationship
ArmondoSC: wow
Anubis169: do the NPCs in this have unlimited money for selling?
TXC2: Anubis169 at bases yes
TXC2: SPF 5 million lip gloss
Mathanwitch: there's trash bin right across the ragman door. I leave my junk guns there, hehe
JollyGee29: Ragman will also just buy red quality guns
Anubis169: what's the rifle behind the trunk lid?
Mathanwitch: yeah, ragman is no good for anything else but selling red guns
Mathanwitch: bad prices
ArmondoSC: i love that we just have an RPG round in our chest
TXC2: "seven six two millimetre, FULL METAL JACKET!"
RocknGrohlNerd: not all rounds are anti-mutatnt? just these?
TXC2: do we need 38 sausages?
Mathanwitch: @JollyGee29 yes but not 0% durability red guns. like the ones that are lying around near the burer spawns
TheAwkes: @RocknGrohlNerd Yellows are more damage to unarmored foes. Which makes them good against mutants and bad against armoured humans.
RocknGrohlNerd:
got it thx @TheAwkes
roseofloki: Bullpup sighted!
ArmondoSC: i dont think so
Marvoleath: @ArmondoSC I definitely read this as chest, the body part and was wondering
TheDevil_Risen:
put some sausages away ?
JollyGee29: That is like 15kg worth of sausages
TXC2: put away the artefacts we're not using ?
TXC2:
victory
RocknGrohlNerd: @TheDevil_Risen that is easier said than done
ArmondoSC:
@Marvoleath
TXC2: the F was that?
A_Dub888: Russel?
ArmondoSC: the crows just reset i guess
RocknGrohlNerd: ka-kaw? Serge entered the chat?
TheDevil_Risen: also, random q, how much does 57 bandages weigh?
ArmondoSC: how much of our coupons are we gonna spend on repairs tho?
RocknGrohlNerd:
@A_Dub888 boo also it took me 10 second to get the joke
JollyGee29: Considering how many random MP5s there are in the Zone, you can just *find* some 9x19
JollyGee29: If they don't have a cost, they have already been "purchased"
TheAwkes: Green means you have it.
TheAwkes: Blue means it's the most recent addition.
ArmondoSC: and there goes all the money
TheAwkes: It lets you revert one mod if you don't like it.
Marvoleath: cant get sleep for dinner? D:
TheDevil_Risen: random q Alex, how much does 57 bandages weigh?
JollyGee29: Bandages are 0.05kg a pop
Strebenherz: O brg to differ game, can totally fall asleep hungry
Strebenherz: I beg*
JollyGee29: Might grab a few of those sausages as a snack
ArmondoSC: you know how much sausage in in the zone? were gonna be fine
JollyGee29: The guide color is grey-ish
JollyGee29: It's weird
Anubis169: that's not supposed to be greyed out
Marvoleath:
NeoGabi shakes her pom poms, cheeirng you on! 
Anubis169: we are not horny enough for this quest reward
ArmondoSC: i do like the music they gt in this game
TheDevil_Risen:
NeoGabi: @ArmondoSC I was just thinking the same thing.
TheAwkes: Used this scope tons. A little zoom without killing too much of your FoV for close fights.
TXC2: we 10000% had 3 arms during that rifle transition
TheDevil_Risen: pigu?
TXC2: 2 shot bust like the AN94 had in the first game
TXC2:
also exaggerated in that there was more then 4 of them
JollyGee29: The AN94 in SoC was great, yea
TheDevil_Risen: AK replacement, with hyper burst
Balor213: @jollygee29 it was great in ALL of the original trilogy
TheDevil_Risen: there's a good thing on royal armouries about it
TXC2: double the lethality at 100 yards
TXC2: duplex is the coolest shit
KharadBanar: That's 100% more bullet per bullet!
TXC2: artefacts move within anomalies
Genie_M: It's moving around
TXC2: I think it's passing overhead
JollyGee29: Artifacts constantly move around, the little shits
JollyGee29: You just have to be very fast
KharadBanar: the SUCC
Juliamon: It probably won't even be worth it
Juliamon: but at this point you gotta
JollyGee29: Ooh, Crown is a nice one
Balor213: It's a crown
richard_ermen: "Super-crazy complicated" sounds like the general theme in western weapon innovations.
JollyGee29: Wikipedia claims that ~2000 AN94s were made
richard_ermen: I wonder why western engineering never goes for "simple, cheap, easy to make"
TXC2: richard_ermen and yet this was Russian
richard_ermen: @TXC2 Ah, damnit *sweat*
richard_ermen: Maybe the russians finally learned the epitome of western technology? Pointless innovation?
TXC2: it was after the fall of communism, so maybe
ArmondoSC: it money
Genie_M: What did you think?
richard_ermen: Good ol'gamerskills, almost killing the player because the fall was 2cm too high
KharadBanar: the Soviets had their share of pointless innovation
JollyGee29: I didn't put any suits on my price/weight spreadsheet because I think they all pass the ratio I want anyway
TheDevil_Risen: got track?
richard_ermen: @KharadBanar Oh guaranteed, but we get less documentaries about those outside of the east, I guess.
richard_ermen: That's a frightening ambient sound.
WetPaperSack: What?
Wolfstrike_NL:
Let them kid have their fun
WetPaperSack: I may have had my headphone volume a little TOO high there... mawp
TXC2:
there's probably not as much documention on the Soviet attempts to replace the AK74 compared to the THREE failed attempts by the US to replace the M16
KharadBanar: @richard_ermen I recently watched a video about the Mielec M-15, a cropduster biplane with a jet engine
KharadBanar: That's about what I mean when I say pointless Soviet innovation
ArmondoSC: i think we lost that in a reload
richard_ermen: Interesting thing to notice, why do the models stand up when being shot in the head from the headshot? Are they resetting their position in death?
JollyGee29: You should have 20 round magazines at base
ArmondoSC: or wait, are we thinking about the grom?
TheDevil_Risen: oops
JollyGee29: The extended magazine that got lost in a reload was the Groza that we recovered
TXC2:
KharadBanar how much of that was a make work project for the jet engine factory?
richard_ermen: Operation "All those Assholes"
ScrapyardGhostTrain: TXC2 " it was at the insistence of Soviet officials that jet propulsion would power the type."
KharadBanar: @TXC2 I think it was just because someone high up thought "jet engines are the future, so they go in all planes now"
TheDevil_Risen: hahaha
LiveFaust:
Oh no! 
TXC2: ScrapyardGhostTrain KharadBanar sounds right
richard_ermen: Were Jet Engines the Wunderwaffen of Soviet Planes?
LiveFaust: Uncle Ruski, no relation.
KharadBanar: more like Blunderwaffe if you ask me
RebekahWSD: Boondocks is great
Strebenherz: Wait. Boondocks was an anime wasn't it
TXC2: Strebenherz no it was American made
ArmondoSC: there was alot more dudes than i thought
TXC2: Anime is a medium
richard_ermen: Anime is a mistake.
JollyGee29: Boondocks was an American production, actually
richard_ermen: Was Boondocks the one about the black family being constantly foulmouthed speaking truth?
TXC2: also not to be confused with the Boondock saints
ScrapyardGhostTrain: If the French can make anime, so can other countries.
TXC2: richard_ermen yes
richard_ermen: Then I understood that reference. Yay.
terribleplan: Distinction without a difference?
KharadBanar: Genres of animation aren't a neat taxonomy, just like music genres aren't
richard_ermen: All Genre isn't real anyway.
Juliamon: Genres aren't hard lines.
TXC2: it is fair to say that the Boondocks is influenced by anime
MAPBoardgames: If you shoot them, they become hostile. So the distinction is easy
TXC2:
KharadBanar Taxonomy is never neat
richard_ermen: The way we're clicking on skulls, you'd think they give some sort of premium on heads.
KharadBanar: sometimes it's pretty close
JollyGee29: There is already a faction patch mod for Stalker 2, too
malsareus: like scout badges?
richard_ermen: "Roosevelt"
malsareus: killed 50 guys with headshots in foggy weather
MAPBoardgames: How about a mod that gives you a tiny snippit of their personal life when you headshot them?
richard_ermen: Please tell me he's wheelchair-bound
TXC2: Theodor or Franklin ?
richard_ermen: That moment when Alex just starts an entire faction war and kills the entire sideplot by just waltzing in and shooting everyone.
ArmondoSC:
"oops"
Juliamon: He enjoys the aesthetics, anyway
DigitalSeahorse:
slept too long
Bruceski: I wish I spoke Ukranian so I could know how that "freeze motherfuck-- I mean halt, stalker" line read was. Interesting tone.
richard_ermen: I wonder what Alex So What'll be after Stalker 2 is done.
TXC2: we had Stalker in Talking sim right?
Mathanwitch: I would certainly love a good old Talking Simulator where you two comment on it
richard_ermen: I think so.....many years back?
Strebenherz: The thread of fate has been severed...
richard_ermen: "This world is doomed...."
TXC2: Zulu is from call of Pripyat
richard_ermen: Great Scott, now I have flashbacks to killing Caius Cosades in Balmora...
richard_ermen: Its...it's colloquially known as a basement?
DigitalSeahorse:
Juliamon: No mention of Stalker on the wiki page for Talking Sim. Good opportunity there.
TXC2: Juliamon indeed
richard_ermen: So it really was a "being-murdered-hole"
ScrapyardGhostTrain:
JollyGee29: There was a Talking Sim of the first STALKER, but just one episode
QuixoticScrivener: Greetings chat and Alex!
richard_ermen: Aye, its'....about 8 years old
TXC2: hello QuixoticScrivener welcome
MAPBoardgames: Those are some rad tanks!
richard_ermen: @QuixoticScrivener herro
Mathanwitch: @Bruceski I missed that one. but feel free to ping me next time, I'm native in Ukrainian
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Mi-8?
richard_ermen: Oh, was that a Metal Gear Solid Reference?
richard_ermen: What a fool, bringing a gun to a knife-punch-fight.
Juliamon: This game definitely deserves a TS episode anyway, it's a good lesson in understanding what the playerbase wants in a sequel.
richard_ermen: OMG xD
Marvoleath: !clip
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
MAPBoardgames: @Juliamon agreed
Mathanwitch: I'm super happy Ukraine is planning to build more nuclear. and not for AI or other BS. we just need more power to compensate for the lost ones
Juliamon: Stalker fans want just one thing and it's disgusting *smash cut to a tin of Tourist's Delight*
ScrapyardGhostTrain: "It is now known that virtually none of the [air-dropped] neutron absorbers reached the core." Those poor air crews. All that risk, for basically nothing.
richard_ermen: @ScrapyardGhostTrain Reminds me of Gorbachev writing about Chornobyl. "It was at that point, I basically understood that the entire apparatus was poisoned."
TXC2: ScrapyardGhostTrain feels like the same thing with the miners who dug for the heat exchanger
matthaus_c: there's prolly a lot to say about GSC getting to make this game /at all/, too. they were working on a Stalker 2 and a new iteration of the X-ray engine when they shut their doors years ago. it's not common a studio gets to come back and make a AAA title after something like that
Cptasparagus: like me
richard_ermen: Can we repair that Vintnar?
TXC2: and then an actual war comes to their country
richard_ermen: @Cptasparagus Stahp it!
matthaus_c: @TXC2 eyup
WetPaperSack: Free is my favorite price
Mathanwitch:
nuclear is going to be ten billion percent more safe than what we have now: diesel generator on almost every balcony 
JollyGee29: "Bet. We'll shoot a giant bullet very slowly."
TXC2: Nuclear releases less radiation then coal power plants do anyway
matthaus_c: yep, 9x39
TXC2: and then american gun nuts looked at it and yes, but what if 5.56 sized
TXC2: and then 300 blackout was born
matthaus_c: for comparison, 7.62x51 was what NATO landed on when they wanted an Irresponsibly Large round, and that is now largely considered a Bad Move
Mathanwitch: @TXC2 yep. it's the safest afaik. but radiation is too spooky to be popular
TXC2: Mathanwitch indeed sadly
MAPBoardgames: Nuclear has bad PR.
Juliamon: It's like how planes are statistically safer for travel than cars, but the failures are catastrophic
matthaus_c: please don't notice all the environmental disasters from coal mining and oil drilling
richard_ermen: Coal.....bad?
TXC2:
nuclear is good when working, VERY BAD when not, coal/oil is bad when working, only slightly worse when not
Juliamon: we've all just normalized the dangers of what we already have
TXC2: it's the boiled frog fallacy
MAPBoardgames: But coal companies make enough money to hire good PR and advertising.
matthaus_c: when you want to run for reelection, you really want people to put the blame on the tech
Mathanwitch: but recent years has made Ukrainians very pragmatic. spooky, not spooky - not the main concern. does it work? is it efficient? can we survive next winter on that?
Invitare: Reminds me, years ago I worked with someone who had worked at Chernobyl. She left before the incident
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Yeah, let's not forget the time that oil drilling made a lake disappear & a river flow *backwards* for days.
TheAwkes: Coal was widespread before we understood how bad it was. Nuclear didn't come around until after we understood the hazards. I think that has a ton to do with it.
TXC2: TheAwkes oh indeed
TXC2: if coal and nuclear came at the same time, nuclear would have won, coal had a 100 year head start
TheDevil_Risen: what's more amusing is the time that they blew up an entire US town with natural gas by not connecting the new pipe to the pressure sensor at the junction of the old pipe
TheDevil_Risen: TL:DR stupidity will always kill
MAPBoardgames: Nuclear IS spooky though. We are going to create an explosion, which occurs constantly.
DigitalSeahorse: Fukushima too?
richard_ermen: A bloodsucker? How'd they get a lawyer in here?
MAPBoardgames: We harness the awesome power of the splitting atom! To boil water.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @MAPBoardgames No that's your car.
virgil82: Wasn't Fukushima a confluence of natural disasters?
TXC2: virgil82 yes
MAPBoardgames: No, @ScrapyardGhostTrain that is a series of explosions.
Mahtamori: There were also some reports of them not having necessarily taken the typhoon barricades as seriously as they should have
matthaus_c: mmm delicious green soup
virgil82: Like, an earthquake an order of magnitude greater than anything on record AND a tsunami higher than the highest one on record?
Mathanwitch: and with Fukushima around 2000 people died. but there's a catch. only 1 died due to the accident and the rest died due to evacuation, which turned out to be unnecessary. so it was also a series of bad decisions
TXC2: Fukushima was biggest tidel wave in decades causes water in the cooling pools to empty too much, reactors overheat due to lack water, oops
Mahtamori: There is a nearby power plant which when told to build preparing for a 5m wave built a barricade for a significantly higher wave, and that place had minimal downtime
Bruceski: The impression I got for Fukushima was that it was similar to the Challenger "we have those safety margins in place for a reason" shuttle.
MAPBoardgames: As Practical Engineering says "You can always spend more money for more safety. You have to draw the line somewhere."
MAPBoardgames: You don't need a containment building on Russian reactors. They are flawless and never go wrong.
Balor213: Where Chernobyl had one of its reactors melt down, and the core melted through the bottom
JollyGee29: You found Duty's new base!
TXC2: doody!
MAPBoardgames: heh heh. He said 'dootie'
Juliamon: classic Duty being doodie
Mathanwitch: @MAPBoardgames unprecedented technology. they do what no western reactor is capable of doing. like. literally exploding. analogov nyet!
matthaus_c: Duty has the most sane outlook on the Zone fwiw
JollyGee29: The technician in this base is an asshole
TXC2: duty vendor selling a G36?!
TheAwkes: You don't come to the Zone in the first place if you're not a Wankbiscuit.
matthaus_c: god I hope you can ask Voronin about them getting their asses kicked out of Rostok
TXC2: it's an expensive gun Alex
TheAwkes: Are you using a specialized ammo in it? The increased degradation is significant.
JollyGee29: This base is set up so poorly. There is a bed in the northwest building
Mathanwitch: @matthaus_c Duty is the faction that corresponds to Chornobyl liquidators - those first responders who had to cleanup the graphite stuff off the roof with almost bare hands
TheAwkes: Bad layout for a video game, but makes sense for the usage of the existing buildings in kayfabe.
DoodlestheGreat: im in ur base, killn ur doods
Mathanwitch: every faction in the game has some kind of Ukrainian lore background
DigitalSeahorse:
DigitalSeahorse:
TXC2: I wonder if this is the same cement factory from Call of Pripyat
matthaus_c: sure is
Balor213: @txc2 several vendors should have them, Hamster and Ragman are the only two who I know of that never carry the G36
TXC2: neat
