TehAmelie: i'm not sure how the voice of the chat gestalt position works if there's multiple people active. . .
Metric_Furlong: @TehAmelie unfortunately this is one of the few weeks where there aren't a bunch of those games on sale on GOG, which is awkward timing
Metric_Furlong: (oh right, another side effect of the chat gestalt postion: you all use Steam a lot less for games purchases now)
Metric_Furlong: @TehAmelie well, no one's told me to stop yet
TehAmelie: i got a couple of Wadjet games on steam i have yet to look at anyway
Metric_Furlong: @Didero indeed. the little 'making of' zine that comes with the game download is actually quite interesting on that front
Didero: Ooh, didn't know it had one!
Metric_Furlong: @TehAmelie which ones?
TehAmelie: hmm, i did play Unavowed, so only Technobabylon i guess
Didero: Oh yeah, I bought a Humble Bundle with a bunch of P&C games, but then didn't play 'em
TehAmelie: everyone talking about this new Avowed game puts me in a certain mood though
Metric_Furlong: @Didero it's somewhere in the zip archive from the itch.io download, iirc
Metric_Furlong: @TehAmelie Technobabylon's a good one, imo
TehAmelie: i'm pretty sure i got it from your recommendation
Marvoleath: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Play it Forward (Alex heads into The Zone on Play it Forward. Game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl) at Mon 10:00 AM PST (10m from now).
TehAmelie: and Hades 2 has updated. . .too many games
TehAmelie: maybe i can mod Elden Ring to load a random game from my computer when i go into a dungeon to reduce some decisions for me
Metric_Furlong: probably similar effort to dividing things into obfuscated strawpolls
TehAmelie: hoho
TehAmelie:
Metric_Furlong: this is a deep musical cut
goombalax: We Stalkin
richard_ermen: Oh sweet, time for more radioactivity =)
goombalax: this reminds me of a song from the Transistor OST
TehAmelie: we could say this game is. . .rad
TXC2: Hello Everybody
richard_ermen: Say, did they make the word because a geiger counter is a radio and the radioactive waves create activity??
richard_ermen: @TXC2 *waveS*
TXC2: hi richard_ermen

OmegaPlatinum: Hey Alex, Graham's talking nice about you on bsky
malsareus: starting in a strangers bunk, good start
PsychoI3oy: heheheheeh doody
TehAmelie: i think we can blame capitalism for forcing them to drive down costs of the reactors
TheMerricat: MMMM Reactor bread.
RocknGrohlNerd: @TehAmelie or #blamejames that is always an option
Mathanwitch: drop down on the roof from the other side maybe?
SkathrZira: Duty seems like the modern King Knut, trying to hold the sea back
richard_ermen: Is it just me or is a tiny amount of music playingh somewhere?
Graved:
I think you are supposed to jump up there from the other side
SkathrZira: I hear the music too
TXC2: richard_ermen there is, we're in a bar
TheAwkes: #ConspicuousBeamStub
RocknGrohlNerd: parkour achieved
richard_ermen: Ahhhh
Mangledpixel: maybe it's fashionable
Mathanwitch: Duty are Chornobyl "liquidators". you know - those guys who were cleaning up the graphite on the roof in the first days. there's some lore drops near the "Cage" in Cement Factory area
DoodlestheGreat: Hi ho.
Critterbot:
Whoopsie!
DoodlestheGreat: Well, THAT isn't it...
wench_tacular:
richard_ermen: Hello Ground my ooold friend...
TXC2: Hello DoodlestheGreat welcome
Mangledpixel: well that went well
richard_ermen: "Let the bodies hit the floor`..."?
Mangledpixel: "What a weird dream"
Mathanwitch: funniest thing there's probably 2 bullets and a bread in that stash
SkathrZira: SIr, a stalker just jumped around all over the place and then jumped out the window
richard_ermen: Funniest thing would be if there was just a little card with the words "haha sucker" printed on.
TheAwkes: This one was frustrating and I ended up just looking it up. Don't even remember any more.
SkathrZira: I believe there is a stash like that in the game
Graved: All of Stalker is doing things that are not worth it and somehow being satisfied by a total outcome
Genie_M: It's pretty surely not worth it, but that's not important
Creideiki_SE: Not worth it for the contents of the stash, but worth it for the Content™?
cluckiducks: Always
SkathrZira: If I don't get it the little icon will stay on the map, taunting me
TXC2: Creideiki_SE precisely
Mathanwitch: @richard_ermen if you meet a guy with "Legenda" nickname, you have a chance to find such stash, hehe
richard_ermen:
@Mathanwitch Oh boy 
SkathrZira: @Mathanwitch I remember him, I put so many bullets in him when I met him again
richard_ermen: Is that an open lava hole in the northeast?
Genie_M: Eek
Mathanwitch: I counted at least 3 mini-quests where bandits are just shamelessly trying to scam you
TXC2: "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT!"
richard_ermen: Have...have we jkust survived gettingt ZEUS'ed?
SkathrZira: Very very frightening me
Graved: gone fishing
TheAwkes: @richard_ermen Way cooler than that. In a very hot way.
richard_ermen: lol
wifi12345678910: @richard_ermen I think this was just a clsoe strike. Alex has been hit before
SkathrZira: You would also get hit if you were carrying as much metal

richard_ermen: That was quick
wifi12345678910: lmao
Graved: Classic
richard_ermen: loooool
Mangledpixel: convenient!
TXC2: EDGE
malsareus: looks like a very effective trap
TheAwkes: Some(one/thing) else often gets them. And sometimes you can fail a quest if you weren't involved in taking at least one of them down.
SkathrZira: There is a reason they dont give rookies grenades in the army
TehAmelie: maybe they got spooked by the lightning
richard_ermen: Just like real life, sometimes the best strategy is to wait for your enemy to blow themselves up.
TXC2:
SkathrZira we give them grenade launchers now 
Graved: imaging taking a quest and it completing itself before dialogue ends
SkathrZira: There must be a terrifying onosecond just after you activate your own grenade trap
Mathanwitch: @SkathrZira oh. that location you meet him the second time is SO cool. it exists in real world too
TehAmelie: things tend toward entropy in the zone, we might say
richard_ermen: I think these "Immersive Sims"-style games all do.
Graved: Skyrim is more rigid, I'd say?
SkathrZira: @Mathanwitch I have no memory of that location because of all the descending red mist
wifi12345678910: So weird question, were the mutants people that got experimented on or animals or artificial creations or something else?
SkathrZira: @wifi12345678910 Yes
Genie_M: In a way yes, the world "lives" around you, whether you do something or not
TheMerricat: Skyrim is a game where you never actually play the main mission and spend the entire 500 hours of playtime running around doing side quests and just farting around.
richard_ermen: Reminds me of Skyrims "Radiant Quests" System. Usually it creates some sort of randomized content so you always have "something" to do.
PsychoI3oy: they... became expired
Mathanwitch: @SkathrZira google "Плавуча дача на Десні S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2"
TXC2: wifi12345678910 they never really say where they come from, other then the blind dogs are just wild feral dogs from before
Mathanwitch: it's kind of an easter egg
richard_ermen: @TheMerricat To be fair, outside of Morrowind, the main quests of Elder Scrolls games can be a tad....boring AF.
Graved: hate to paypal money and not get my weed randomly
TheAwkes: It's nice that Stalker follows the Elder Scrolls model of open world more than the Ubisoft model of open world. Nothing in particular against the Ubi model, but we have enough Far Crys.
Genie_M: They are to tell a story - you play to write your own story
SkathrZira: The ubi model was fun, once
Mangledpixel: richard_ermen indeed. One of my favourite Skyrim mods is 'You are not the Dragonborn', which effectively removes the main quest
richard_ermen: @TheAwkes Agreed. Just imagine, suddenly the Riddler or whatever the Stalker-version would be telling you "And now, you get to search for my 99 hidden...ridd....stalker symbols! no morals!"
TehAmelie: 500 hour game that sometimes falls apart like the best W+P titles, i can see how Alex hasn't gone there
Genie_M: Ubisoft the game for me is fun once every 2-3 years
richard_ermen: @richard_ermen Oh that sounds sweet!
SkathrZira: I only play Stalker 2 and Bloons TD 6 now, possibly the only person who does
TXC2: the STALKER communist "open" vs Ubisoft capitalist "open"
Genie_M: Oh that's quick to respawn
Mangledpixel: well, it's an idea
richard_ermen: I remember liking AC Odyssey very much, but that was because I'm a massive history nerd for the ancient mediterranean world.
Graved: Help me, stepladder
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone
richard_ermen: herro
TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander welcome
SkathrZira: @richard_ermen You should read Stephen Fry's book, Heroes
richard_ermen: It's on my stash of "to be read" xD
Genie_M: Huh
richard_ermen: Sometime next year, most likely 8)
SkathrZira: We need a new anomlay, how about knives?
TXC2: leathery
richard_ermen: "Hehe, made you look."
Genie_M: I can imagine how much fun they had designing these environmental puzzles
SkathrZira: It really feels like the older generation of open world games
Mathanwitch: speaking of easter eggs. my favorite is Ward soldiers on Ikarus and SRIRACHA making Minecraft villager noises
cluckiducks: #truth
SkathrZira: Surely they would dissipate on the armor
cluckiducks: Hahahahaha
TXC2:
SkathrZira the 5 gallons to the mile fuel efficiency also puts a damper on things 
wifi12345678910: Maybe what you really need is a jet pack, I'm sure you can rig one up with some artifacts
SkathrZira: I know why stalkers doný use tanks but why dont the ISPF use them
DoodlestheGreat: Gas station toilets are all the same.
Lysander_salamander: The first chapter of "Roadside Picnic" had the main character take some scientists into the exclusion zone in an armored personnel car, and everyone was freaking out. A well-written bit of tension.
TXC2: wifi12345678910 the third game established that there are anomalies in the sky
Transmuted_Elf: just thinking on a thing, are there any prominant female characters in this game? any female stalkers?
RocknGrohlNerd:
difficult and impractical are my middle names tho
Juliamon: We've run into like... two
TXC2: Transmuted_Elf we have met one (1) trader
SidewinderSky: Not sure about he IPSF, but SIRCCA and the Ward has those little MRAP Humvee things around their bases, we just don't see them move in this game as far as i know
SkathrZira: @Transmuted_Elf There is one in the swamp, she runs one of the shops in the ships
Juliamon: the arena MC had a feminine voice
malsareus: women looked at the Zone and said "no thanks"
DoodlestheGreat: I think we saw her last time you were on with this game. It was in the Arena zone.
malsareus: " you have fun boys"
SkathrZira: The swamp lady actually has a fun quest
Mathanwitch:
@Transmuted_Elf I got to Rostok pretty late so I was 100% sure they literally forgot women exist for like half of the game 
richard_ermen: What if the Zone is secretly a "long-term-Widowmaker"?
TXC2:
I feel like most STALKERs don't get married
SkathrZira: To me a widowmaker is 1. a submarine and 2. a sniper rifle
richard_ermen: A submarine??
Mathanwitch: there's a lot of gay romance though, so it's not that bad

Thanks for subscribing, Sacrenos! (Today's storm count: 9)
wifi12345678910: To me, a widowmaker is a large dead branch that hasn't fallen off a tree or a blood clot
SkathrZira: My brain is strange, I do not know why it makes me think of a sub
Lysander_salamander: Was the movie based on that submarine any good?
SkathrZira: An ancient neuron is firing now, there was a movie I believe
richard_ermen: Soviet Nuclear Subs seem like a real success story.
TXC2:
Lysander_salamander yes, but it is beyond devoiced from reality
Lysander_salamander: maybe it's really thick mud?
TXC2: *divorced
TheAinMAP: I'm going to guess it's the mud under the water.
Barb4rian: ^
wifi12345678910: It's actually crude oil, that's why it's so sticky and you can't drink it /s
PsychoI3oy: heh, annual apartment inspection, the head maintenance guy was impressed by my workbench consisting of a sheet of plywood between two shelving units
SkathrZira: I am frightened of closed spaces and deep water, I would never want to be in a submarine
Lysander_salamander: I wonder what the fish are like in the exclusion zone.
shushu2539: all the shards share the same shape
SkathrZira: They are all the same shard weaving in and out of time
TXC2: like the one electron
SkathrZira: Yeah, Feynmans Electron theory
wifi12345678910: Can you get in the pipe?
Lysander_salamander: I wonder if some npc is holding it for like, a mission to go in a loot it
SkathrZira: I've noticed that the rusty doors don't open, openable doors look clean
Stormgod519: i do not like the sounds of that
Stormgod519: what in the hell...?
TXC2:
somehow thought that snork was an armadillo
SkathrZira: Snorks
TreeVor84: No one ever wants snork hugs
Lysander_salamander: sheesh
SkathrZira: Snorks are what happens when you eat the whole tin of meat
TreeVor84: snorks need to learn about consent
Mathanwitch: say no to snork hugs! embrace bloodsucker kisses instead
TXC2:
I want big steppy from a Pseudogiant
wifi12345678910: Isn't this where the controller in the basement was
wifi12345678910: and the tiny jedi
SkathrZira: What is a pseudogiant
Lysander_salamander: like, a Moa?
TehAmelie: i'm guessing it's a pseudospecies of human
SkathrZira: I'm imaging the skyrim giants with snork masks
TXC2: what if a chicken was also a man and also 10ft tall
SkathrZira: How do I stop?
Mathanwitch: @SkathrZira like a huge head with legs growing out of it's ears
DigitalSeahorse:
I hath arrived
wifi12345678910: Did you ever talk to those guys who had you kill the controller?
SkathrZira: @Mathanwitch Ah, nightmare fuel, I see
TXC2:
SkathrZira same as everything in the Zone: Vodka
Stormgod519: @DigitalSeahorse morning!
TXC2: hello DigitalSeahorse welcome
SkathrZira: I actually genuinely like vodka in real life
DigitalSeahorse:
TehAmelie: what if you could hose everyone down with vodka to pacify them?
SkathrZira: Mix it with fruit juice, get wasted efficiently
Stormgod519: ummmm
TehAmelie: or go Everclear 98% to save on weight
Juliamon: TehAmelie isn't that basically what molotovs do
Stormgod519: what is this place
SkathrZira: Chornobyl
DigitalSeahorse: a thing that inducts?
Juliamon: but with additional fire
wifi12345678910: the thing you use for a stove
TXC2: Stormgod519 we're under the merc base from call of Pripyat
TehAmelie: i guess, just very hot liquor
SkathrZira: A molotov is when you want to start a fire but don't want to be near the fire
TXC2: a Molotov is when filling a grievance with the government isn't enough
wifi12345678910: what an easy mission!

SkathrZira: We ready to induct something now
TXC2: a nice walk in the country
Stormgod519: wow, very stinky
wifi12345678910: As you see, stalker game n is based on stalker games n-1 and n-2. The base case is the first stalker game is based on the book and the movie.
TXC2:
it's funny to me that I only learned this month that this river empties out into the black sea on the other side of the country
calculated_uncertainties:
100 100
Mathanwitch: Noontiders are one of the few factions that are likable in this game. other one being the furries, sorry, I meant Freedom
SkathrZira: I would start the furry faction if I were a Stalker
DigitalSeahorse: uh
TXC2:
I don't want think about the cost of a furry suit that has built in NBC protection
A_Dub888: Hi friends, how’s the Zonussy?
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 welcome
SkathrZira: Some of them have water cooling, small step to integrate a gasmask
wifi12345678910: @A_Dub888 deep
SkathrZira: @A_Dub888 I both appreciate and hate you for that term
TheAwkes: Lots of moments in this game where participating in a scrap is objectively a waste of resources, but joining in is nice to feel like you're helping.
Stormgod519: did I just hear bees?
Stormgod519: something like that
Stormgod519: first prize, mother fucker...
TXC2: cutscene
wifi12345678910: Is he talking about santa?
SkathrZira: Must be
Stormgod519: no pupils...
Lysander_salamander: Oh, is this a cult leader?
richard_ermen: He's blind.
SkathrZira: Most definitely a cult leader
RocknGrohlNerd: #notacult
TXC2: or wannabe leader at least
richard_ermen: The background sound is fantastic.
SkathrZira: The cult is/was called Monolith
Mathanwitch: Faust is such a majestic character in this game. in a weird creepy and mysterious way. lots of very cool lore on him
TXC2:
different = Brainwashed and Crazy
SkathrZira: @richard_ermen The atmosphere of this game is perfect
DigitalSeahorse:
BS detected?
A_Dub888: so when do we pop a cap in his skull?
richard_ermen: @SkathrZira Agreed.
Stormgod519: well
wifi12345678910: Faust's arguments sound very familiar
Stormgod519: what is he gonna do...
TheAwkes: Noontide might be the only sympathetic faction in the Zone.
A_Dub888: “You can’t kill God” Says you, I play Shin Megami Tensei!
Mathanwitch: "I am blind, but it is you who cannot see" - gave me chills, omg
SkathrZira: @TheAwkes What about SPARK?
Stormgod519: oh you, youre finally awake
Mathanwitch:
@SkathrZira spoilers 
richard_ermen: "You'll have to speak up, there's an anomaly storm outside drowning out most sounds!"
TheAwkes: @SkathrZira Zero sympathy this go round. They've drunk the koolaid in a big way.
richard_ermen: Hammerspace!
wifi12345678910: Prison pocket
TXC2: in his pocket
Thisbymaster: his pocket
RocknGrohlNerd: in his buttcrack
richard_ermen: Clearly under his jacket.
Lysander_salamander: oh, good timing for a break
Thisbymaster: I want his pants more
Stormgod519: fair enough
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!
Stormgod519: i should get water, like a lot of water
wifi12345678910: I gotta go to class, see you Wednesday Alex!
RocknGrohlNerd: ok lets get water everybody
TXC2: so long wifi12345678910 stay safe
jessieimproved drinks the water she already has
SkathrZira: I have obtained liquid
RocknGrohlNerd: *applauds* @jessieimproved
RocknGrohlNerd: okey I also got some amount of H2O
goombalax: BTW the Bsky post didnt link the stream, though the stalker throwing bolt image was hilarious
Juliamon: I have been loving the memes Alex includes
TXC2: "events

Stormgod519: hi Back!
TXC2: and we're back
TheAinMAP:
TheAwkes: Lynx is great.
SkathrZira: Pressing shift swaps which weapon is being compared
TXC2: we upgraded our gun right?
Lysander_salamander: can it be modded for better range?
RocknGrohlNerd: @Stormgod519 sooo, did you get yourself some amount of water?
TXC2: oh Khors...
TheDevil_Risen:
Hey Alex
TXC2: hello TheDevil_Risen welcome
SkathrZira: This gun has a bayonet lug, think about that for a moment
Lysander_salamander: In the book, there's zombies caused by the zone. But they aren't hostile. They just return back to where they used to live and hang out. Kind of sad for everyone.
TheDevil_Risen: @TXC2 0/
PsychoI3oy: BMP jousting
TXC2:
"better to have it an not need it...."
goombalax: if shit's all fucked sometimes you gotta get stabby
Stormgod519: @RocknGrohlNerd i have 2 full bottles that I will refill at least one of before I leave for my workout
SkathrZira: It's part of a complete squad rifle
TXC2: steward having a one man rave
TehAmelie: Strider? Quiet? is this a jail for Metal Gear characters?
SkathrZira: The idea for the bayonet lug, told to me by Ian from forgotten weapons is that the SVD was given to one guy in the squad to pick off longer range targets, still being a squaddies rifle meant it had to do what the other AKs and stuff did too
goombalax: its not their strong suit
DigitalSeahorse: a suit that makes you mostly dead instead of completely dead?
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Stormgod519 that is respectable amount :)seems like you have this hydration thing locked down
SkathrZira: It's a long gun, I reckon it would be pretty vicious as a spear
TXC2: back in my day we had drugs to take care of blowouts
SkathrZira: I reckon you could sit in the emission and chain smoke morphine
TXC2: CoP yes
Stormgod519: @RocknGrohlNerd i hope so
TXC2: and then once you used 3 of them you became immune to blowouts
SkathrZira: Watch for the mushrooms
Stormgod519: what was that...?
Stormgod519: JESUS
Stormgod519: that scared me lol
Stormgod519: nice
Stormgod519: okay, heart is pumping now
Lysander_salamander: wow that magazine empties fast
TXC2:
Alex recreating a scene from Ghost in the shell, only he's the bad guy part, and he wins
dumbo3k: lol, there is a door right there
Lysander_salamander: fish?
Stormgod519: oof
SkathrZira: dat booty
TehAmelie: that health bar empties quick too :3
NorthstarTex: dece booty
DigitalSeahorse: butts
SkathrZira: He was almost dead because bleeding
Marvoleath: nice tip
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Stormgod519 also enjoy your workout, you will crush it, I´m sure
SkathrZira: shortgun tiem
TXC2: "Blowouts will continue until zone improves"
RocknGrohlNerd: well, I feel like these bloodsuckers are not getting easier to handle, or at least not by much
SkathrZira: You just kinda learn when to duck
Stormgod519: @RocknGrohlNerd thanks friend
Stormgod519: @TXC2 "in the meantime, don't skip leg day..."
dumbo3k: Oh hey, our good ole pal, the UZI!
TXC2: Stormgod519 damn right
SkathrZira: All machine pistols are now UZIs
SkathrZira: It's basically a hoover situation
dumbo3k: @SkathrZira Yup, MP5? UZI.
SkathrZira: MP5 is sub machine gun
Stormgod519: why is that shotgun so fast
TXC2: it's full auto
Stormgod519: wow
Stormgod519: fast shottyyyyyyyyy
RocknGrohlNerd: wow, ehmmm
SkathrZira: It's a Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun
Stormgod519: PIG
dumbo3k: @SkathrZira yes, but the MP part of it stands for Maschinenpistole
TXC2: Piggu!
Stormgod519: holy cow this is jump-scaring me so much lol
Stormgod519: Welp, bacon is back on the menu folx!
SkathrZira: @dumbo3k I learned a thing today, thanks
TXC2:
Stormgod519 welcome to the Zone
DigitalSeahorse: ORB
Stormgod519: see, I thought I was gonna get more spooked watching lets nope last week, but no, this has got me more lol
RocknGrohlNerd:
I would not say to a chunk of bacon
Stormgod519: to be fair, Ben and Adam dont really do much anyway
Stormgod519: they just kind of talk for the first hour
TXC2:
the pork from those boars is probably self mircowaving as a bonus
Stormgod519: FROG
dumbo3k: Oh neat, Bullat also sets off anomalies
Stormgod519: is that one of those Blorbos I keep hearing so much about?
SkathrZira: I saw a very detailed spider hanging from a roof once, this game is full of cool stuff like that
Stormgod519: *Admiral Akbar voice engaged* 'It's a trap!!!"
DoodlestheGreat: I guess the bubbles reform after you pop them?
SkathrZira: I like how there's enough time to think, what was that clink sound, before the grenade goes off
SkathrZira: That jumpy anomaly also stops all fall damage
RocknGrohlNerd:
oh that is neat
TXC2: thing was in the older games, NPCs were super accurate with grenades, so that indicator was vital
dumbo3k: Look, Shell doesn't want anyone reading his Monolith Slashfic until it's done
SkathrZira: This game does have a grenade indicator, it's just an audio one and not a visual one
DigitalSeahorse: time to wrap up in a blanket
SkathrZira: Stream keeps lagging behind, probably because I am 16500km away from Alex
Stormgod519: what does that mean?
DigitalSeahorse: did anyone else hear a faint doorbell sound?
Stormgod519: i dont know this game lol
TXC2: Stormgod519 that we're right on top/ underneath an artefact
Marvoleath: underground maybe?
Stormgod519: @TXC2 okay. yeah, ive never played a game like this before
TXC2: maybe it's on the pipe?
Gaelan_Maestro: thats not a good colour

Thanks for subscribing, mostly_minerals! (Today's storm count: 12)
DigitalSeahorse:
TXC2: WHAT?!
dumbo3k: xD
SkathrZira: That's new
Stormgod519: WHAT?
mostly_minerals:
dumbo3k: zwoop splat
Lysander_salamander: that was some funky physics
Stormgod519: Slide!!! And it killed you!
DigitalSeahorse: super happy fun!
Stormgod519: that's so sad, that looks so fun
TehAmelie: just grindin some pipes
DigitalSeahorse: weeeeeeeeeeeenope
DoodlestheGreat: WHEEE! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
SkathrZira: Never seen that anomaly before
DigitalSeahorse: slide physics is an interesting add
RocknGrohlNerd: sick grid tho, but next time we would need some trick as well to multiply the score
SkathrZira: Now I wanna see Stalkers at a water park, in full gear
DigitalSeahorse: a well?
DigitalSeahorse: oh
Mathanwitch: @DigitalSeahorse spicy well xD
Barb4rian: I got that reference!
DigitalSeahorse: well well well
RaidenFirewing: oh no psychic potato man is back
Lysander_salamander: yay time for grenades
Mathanwitch: trashed guns lying around. never a good sign
DigitalSeahorse: oof
TXC2: that burur was 100000% turning to look at yes
Stormgod519: where gun?
DigitalSeahorse: uhoh
RaidenFirewing: uhhhh gun?
Stormgod519: it gone
TXC2: Stormgod519 enemy made us drop it
DoodlestheGreat: My father worked for Rockwell International, so that Rocky Flats joke was right in my wheelhouse.
DigitalSeahorse: gun clipped through ground?
PsychoI3oy: coughloadgamecough
Lysander_salamander: oh noes
RaidenFirewing: oh that would be baaad
DigitalSeahorse: fuck
SkathrZira: One of the greatest anime betrayals of all time
TXC2: this is cursed place
RaidenFirewing: yeah the grass just eats weapons it seems?
Mathanwitch: what rifle?
SkathrZira: I lost my shotgun completely like this once
goombalax: the enemy cannot pull a trigger if you disapparate his rifle!
Stormgod519: damn
TXC2: he got hands!
Stormgod519: is this what a Tonberry looks like...?
Lysander_salamander: could be in the lake?
DigitalSeahorse: loadsave
richard_ermen: Stalker Version of a Tonberry.
dumbo3k: oh I think you jsut walked over it
RaidenFirewing: feels like a reload at this point
SkathrZira: Yes but Tonberry has more knife
Mathanwitch: reminder that skif pistol can't be stolen this way. just shoot him in the face
richard_ermen: Clipped through the world.
DoodlestheGreat: Relad your save?
dumbo3k: I saw what looked like a wooden stock, back near the water
RocknGrohlNerd: first he, evaporates your main squeeze and than throws hands
DigitalSeahorse: maybe we should paint our guns neon?
Stormgod519: damn
Stormgod519: he clapped you
Marvoleath: the camo on the rifle too good
TXC2: "why do you need a anti-tanker in EVERY Squad?" "Burers" "what?" "BURERS!"
RocknGrohlNerd: well nothing a pair of granadas (or dozen of those) could not solve,
Stormgod519: what's the odds of us getting hit by lightning?
dumbo3k: @RocknGrohlNerd I fear it could throw the grenades back
DoodlestheGreat: Wasn't that a Barenaked Ladies song? ~/If I had a rocket launcher.../~
RocknGrohlNerd: dang it, have thought about that possibility
TehAmelie: a rockets launcher can be exchanged for millions of dollars
DigitalSeahorse: good plan, break line of sight
Stormgod519: damn
Stormgod519: landed all those hits
SkathrZira: A rocket launcher?, I wanted some peanuts
dumbo3k: @TehAmelie That is an expensive Lawn Chair
Mathanwitch: my veteran burer strats: 1) pick up ALL the guns lying around in stealth before the fight. 2) shoot burer in the face with skif pistol since he can't take away quest items
DigitalSeahorse:
RocknGrohlNerd: strong performance by Skif there
Stormgod519: Ow
Marvoleath: that stormy weather looks excellent though
Mathanwitch: yep, there's a second one xD
Stormgod519: this guy's a barrel of laughs
RocknGrohlNerd: okey that was funny
DoodlestheGreat: WELP
DigitalSeahorse: doh
jpost042: where'd the second one come from?
SidewinderSky: As the strongbad says: Dere is two of them

Thanks for subscribing, MAPBoardgames! (Today's storm count: 13)
s_t_a_l_k_e_r_ll: yes, thats a tricky spot
Marvoleath: did it shot you with your own gun? X
Mathanwitch: the Zone just likes to have a good laugh at Skif
Stormgod519: jesus
s_t_a_l_k_e_r_ll:
TXC2: Game please!
DigitalSeahorse:
oh s_t_a_l_k_e_r_ll is in the chat
Mathanwitch: ded
Stormgod519: damn
Stormgod519: he really is a barrel of laughs
SkathrZira: Just duct tape the grip to hand, what could go wrong?
DigitalSeahorse:
Stormgod519: damn
Mathanwitch: rude
DigitalSeahorse: LOL
Stormgod519: Gun go away
SkathrZira: Betrayal!
Stormgod519: now that's using your head
TXC2: gun now in that wall
DigitalSeahorse: burried in the wall?
dumbo3k: It looks like it yoinks it out of your hand and forces you to drop it
RocknGrohlNerd:
get back in the game s_t_a_l_k_e_r_II
Stormgod519: he's not in a talky mood
DigitalSeahorse: yes, send me back to my save!
Mathanwitch: try using skif pistol
Stormgod519: aight, i go to workout
Stormgod519: take care Alex. Cya chat
Stormgod519:
TXC2: so long Stormgod519 stay safe
RocknGrohlNerd: C Ya @Stormgod519
RocknGrohlNerd: good plan Alex
DigitalSeahorse: good plan
dumbo3k: Best plan
Mathanwitch: always best plan
TXC2: and save?
SkathrZira: Reminds me of Jumanji when the vines take his car and he just yells "Fine, take it
DigitalSeahorse:
SkathrZira: SVD is a DMR, not a sniper rifle
dumbo3k: I mean, couldn't laser on a sniper rifle be useful if you ever have to hip fire it at closer range?
RocknGrohlNerd: sneaky sneaky sausage
TehAmelie: 1950s comedian voice: does your Prince Albert run?
richard_ermen: Fascinating.
Mathanwitch: in stalker you absolutely DO hip fire with a sniper rifle. gauss sniper is the best shotgun in the game
TXC2: hip firing is a thing you see in movies FAR more then it happens in real life
richard_ermen: Gunsexual?
TheDevil_Risen: they are tools of war
TheMerricat: "A sniper rifle is typically optimized for engagements well beyond 300 yards. As such, they are unwieldy at closer distances. A DMR, on the other hand, will retain some capability for close quarters combat, while still being accurate out to 500-800 yards. A DMR will have a better optic than a standard service rifle."
TXC2: guns were invented to kill humans
TehAmelie: bombs have more nonviolent applications
SkathrZira: The longest ever confirmed kill was with a scope .50 cal heavy machine gun, so who even knows what category a gun is meant to be
NorthstarTex: never knew golf trophies were magical for dick enlargening
dumbo3k: @SkathrZira To be fair, I'm pretty sure that was fired by one of the worlds best snipers
goombalax: Meet the sniper callback is immaculate
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @NorthstarTex It's entirely in their mind.
richard_ermen: I mean a Golf Trophy is also just a price for being really good at using a club skillfully.
TXC2: SkathrZira that's been since been surpassed
SkathrZira: @dumbo3k Yeah, and then a guy called Barret did a thing
TheMerricat: Categorically the best gun is the finger gun. They require no ammo are silent, and have infinite range.
richard_ermen: Finger Guns are also kosher.
SkathrZira: psi nonsense
ScrapyardGhostTrain:
@TheMerricat Not true. They go 'pkow'.
NorthstarTex: well that path leads to nope
DigitalSeahorse: a 3D glasses anomaly
Marvoleath: the best gun is one that you never have to use
RocknGrohlNerd: weeell, thats the problem right there, your boat is on land, no wonder that it does´t work
TehAmelie: to quote a certain Major, "if you want to play at long range sniping why not go launch a cruise missile at an elephant"
SkathrZira: @TheMerricat replacing the barrels is a pain though, literally
DigitalSeahorse: nuuuuuuu
SkathrZira: Well you didnt drown
TheDevil_Risen: nooooo
TheDevil_Risen: F
TXC2: quite the ignominious death
TheAinMAP:
richard_ermen: Killedby getting stuck in radioactive swamp plants.
richard_ermen: Quite the realistic death
richard_ermen: I love how Alex describes it as if we're ina a sort of "The Office" situation.
Mathanwitch: spray and pray
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Full-auto is to make the enemy hide behind things not shooting at you.
TXC2: suppressing fire
TehAmelie: what is it Jake Gyllenhal says in Jarhead, "the infantryman dies for 30,000 poorly placed rounds"
SkathrZira: Machine guns are less accurate on purpose to spread the bullets around for better suppression
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Unless it's a Vickers. Then it will literally shoot forever as long as you keep the water topped up.
SkathrZira: @ScrapyardGhostTrain And make tea from the water afterwards
TehAmelie: and only 17 moving parts!
richard_ermen: Reminds me of stories from WW1 where soldiers were peeing on early machine guns to keep them firing
DigitalSeahorse: gunmetal tea mmmmmm
DigitalSeahorse: bweh
RocknGrohlNerd: @SkathrZira delicious tea
SkathrZira: @richard_ermen They were peeing into the water jackets to replace the water if they were out of supply
TehAmelie: i guess you wouldn't drink a LOT of gunpowder that way
SkathrZira: The correct amount of gunpowder to imbibe is zero
Creideiki_SE: I would worry more about the heavy metals than the gunpowder.
TXC2: the difference between mortars, howitzers and cannons
richard_ermen: @SkathrZira Huh.
TXC2: Medics are at Platoon level
TheMerricat: "Gunpowder had originally been produced for medicinal purposes. It was eaten, in hopes of curing digestive ailments; inhaled, for respiratory disorders; and, as mentioned, rubbed onto skin level disorders like rashes or burns."
TXC2: I have been looking to this recently
richard_ermen: @SkathrZira You tell that to "Gunpowder-Eater" yourself then.
Master_Gunner: Fun story about the Vickers: When the British were decommissioning them in the 60s, somebody had the idea to "dispose" of the ammunition the fun way. They put *five million rounds* through a single gun over the course of a week.
DigitalSeahorse: everyone gets first aid primer in an ideal squad
SkathrZira: @TXC2 Mortars go thump, howitzers go clunk, cannons go boom
richard_ermen: He literally executed that guy. Wtf.
TXC2: Monolith never left baby
TXC2: SkathrZira exactly
dumbo3k: @SkathrZira And Rocket go FWOOSH
richard_ermen: I love how he missed at 8 feet distance.
SkathrZira: cyanoacrylate was originally an attempted replacement plastic for aircraft canopies but it was way to sticky so the inventor repurposed it in several ways, including a spray for medical use
TXC2: 155mm shells are $800 a pop
DigitalSeahorse:
drones are tools
SkathrZira: I love all the ingenuity and mechanical intricacies of guns, not too stoked about what they are for
DigitalSeahorse: did everyone in chat hear about the drone hitting Chernoybl containment? we talked about it on previous ep
TXC2:
yeah this war has made me question why the hell Soldiers even have phones on their person on the front lines
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Or locating gun batteries based on the metadata of photos the crews upload.
ConvergingMinds: Games like this is why I looked into videos made by veterans who play games like fallout, just to hear them talk about things like weapons and such. I find it rather educational on how militaries differ and such.
TheMerricat: Still don't know what the point of them doing that was @digitalseahorse
DigitalSeahorse:
dumbo3k: @TXC2 Pretty sure they aren't supposed to, but grunts are gonna be grunts
TXC2: dumbo3k indeed
DigitalSeahorse: TheMerricat I think they didn't even know
Mathanwitch: drones covered 90% of all the hits when there was artillery shell hunger. they don't replace artillery normally. but they kind of did in the darkest hour
Mathanwitch: they are dirt cheap too
DigitalSeahorse: silly dunderheads
SkathrZira: @TXC2 It's a common practive for soldiers to have Nintendo Switches on their person because 99% of soldering is waiting
Creideiki_SE: @TXC2 How else are you going to get famous? Write with pencil on paper like some WW2 peasant?
DigitalSeahorse: lol
TXC2:
Creideiki_SE that some civil war shit
SkathrZira: Is knife missile like flying crowbar?
Creideiki_SE: True, WW2 had typewriters.
Lysander_salamander: kind of like with the Manhattan Project, when a bunch of the scientists working on it changed their address for a scifi-magazine and they got clued into that.
TheMerricat: "The Hellfire R9X missile is a non-explosive missile that deploys six blades in the shape of knives to hit targets. It's also known as the "ninja bomb" and the "Flying Ginsu". The R9X is a version of the Hellfire missile, which is the main weapon carried by MQ-9 Reaper drones. "
richard_ermen: Can we modify our weapons to get a sort of string attached to our arm so we can't lose our guns?
DigitalSeahorse:
SkathrZira: @richard_ermen We call those slings
RocknGrohlNerd: so its a spear
Mahtamori: It solves a very specific problem: how to kill someone with a hellfire missile without killing his family
richard_ermen: So its an Assassination Missile?
TheMerricat: "The R9X was used to kill Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone attack in Afghanistan"
TXC2: richard_ermen pretty much
dumbo3k: @RocknGrohlNerd Kind of, exceept the blades pop out sideways I think, isntead of forward
richard_ermen: Creepy.
Mahtamori: And that missile was put to use and did work
TXC2:
"at some point" like we didn't already kill a hamas leader that way
Mathanwitch: also discussing drones and missiles is just part of smalltalk nowadays in Ukraine. one would go to the coffee break with a colleague and we would like "oh, did you know that shakheds they're shooting at us every day may have thermobarric payload now?" and you're like "yeah..."
richard_ermen: That's a question we all are asking ourselves.
TehAmelie: it does sound like something from Bulletstorm
dumbo3k: See! The laser helped!
SkathrZira: Straight up Scarfaced it
shushu2539: hans grubber
richard_ermen: "Glory".
Marvoleath: he talks a lot for a guy with a gunhole in his forehead
DigitalSeahorse: monolithical
SkathrZira: My fav die hard fact, the stunt man dropped Alan Rickman on 2 when he said he would drop on 3, that look of terror is genuine
TehAmelie: i read a book about a mental hospital for the people who design gadgets for spies where one guy turns out to be a cloud of centimeter drones in an overcoat. that's one defense against that missile huh
RocknGrohlNerd: gees we get it guy, you love monolith, stop monolithing about it
TehAmelie: huh that man was just full of sausage
TehAmelie: or did we fill him with sausage?
TheDevil_Risen: ok going up the shops, enjoy, bbs
SkathrZira: My stash is so secure, not even I can get to it
DoodlestheGreat: !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!
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!
DigitalSeahorse: ack my joints
NorthstarTex: @SkathrZira Just like Krog's version of encryption
ScrapyardGhostTrain: TehAmelie Was that an Iain Banks novel?
RocknGrohlNerd:
@TehAmelie we can ask, the age old question, "what is man?"
richard_ermen: Hot Mike?
dumbo3k: Mic5?
TXC2: "2 factor? nah dude I'm on 7 factor"
Darleysam: Spicy Michael
TehAmelie: no, it was an author i'd rather not name
TehAmelie: bet Banks could have done it better though, come to think of it
DigitalSeahorse: Mike always was hot
DigitalSeahorse:
and so is Alex
TXC2: and we're back
TheAinMAP:
A_Dub888: Alex, wink if you’ve been taken over by an alien bug?
DigitalSeahorse: hehe
Mathanwitch: I also disagree somewhat that war in Ukraine is a social media war. it may be so in the west since it's easy to believe whatever when you have safe sky above your head. for Ukraine this war is very much rooted in reality. very few can ignore reality when it's literally falling on your head in favor of some alternative facts on social
TXC2:
A_Dub888 of course he has, we had a crapshot about it
TXC2: Mathanwitch it is a war SEEN on social media, for good or ill
DigitalSeahorse: the medium is the message
SkathrZira: The vietnam war was televised but not live so far as I know, all the footage was edited and screened first
TXC2:
it's always been funny to me that argument for US involvement in Vietnam was to prevent the spread of Communism, then the US lost and yet communism didn't really spread all that much
DoodlestheGreat: Yeah, the Harvey Kurtzman EC series.
SkathrZira: The Korean war could have been subtitled, how the world failed to learn the lesson of WW2
DigitalSeahorse: woops
Creideiki_SE: The TimeGhost History YouTube team is doing the Korean war in real time. One episode per week, covering what happened that week. They did WW1 and WW2 in the same style, and it's excellent.
RainyMint: Oops
SkathrZira: You lucky bastard
TXC2:
no game has ever made spiral stairs easy
DigitalSeahorse: a lighthouse!
RocknGrohlNerd: okey, now I have to ask, chat and Also alex, how much of modern history, meaning history after WW2 is tought in your respective countries, for example in Czech Republic History classes in high school end with WW2, moder history is not mandatory, and tought via voluntary classes
TehAmelie: now this is a screen you don't want to sit too close to i bet
Lysander_salamander: a light-house in the middle of land?
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Don't bother making sure it's switched off before you do anything to it or anything, it's not like electricity can kill you.
TXC2: RocknGrohlNerd only because I did history in school did I learn about the Vietnam war and the Arab-Israeli conflict
SkathrZira: I am South African, None of it was taught to me in schools, I learned about it because my grandfather fought in it so it was sort of a family thing
walkeroftales: DEBATE MY IDEOLOGY, ALEX. why are you so afraid of the free marketplace of eye deals?
TehAmelie: i've learned five times more history from tumblr than i ever did in school
TheAwkes: Safety squint.
TXC2:
I've learned most history from Age of empires 2 then school, and I did history in school
SkathrZira: You can get sunburn from welding
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Many nations, arguably especially the ones who should know better, are extremely bad at teaching important history in mandatory education.
RocknGrohlNerd: interesting , thank you @TXC2 @SkathrZira @TehAmelie
WookieCookie64: Canadian public school taught me a lot about the CP Rail. More than anyone should know, or need.
TehAmelie: do you like arc smelters? they melt scrap iron really fast while giving everyone hearing damage
DigitalSeahorse: I got a big switch in a breaker panel in my room
Lysander_salamander: is it when the devices act as capacitors, and collect electricity right out of the air?
DigitalSeahorse: I won't be touching it
DoodlestheGreat: I learned barely past the Civil War when I was in school in 70's Los Angeles, mostly because the instructors would waste time on BS that had nothing to do with the lessons. And they all taught out of books that were barely up-to-date to the 50's.
SkathrZira: Russia has such fun ways of doing things, like rocket engines, they light them with giant matches
DigitalSeahorse: eek
richard_ermen: For some reason, whenever Alex says "Switch", I think pf a Nintendo Switch whicvh makes it even more bizarre.
TehAmelie: were they giant safety matches at least?
DigitalSeahorse: your yank buddy
DoodlestheGreat: Then I got into Junior College, in classes where everyone there was there on purpose, and instantly had more details filled in in just one semester than I'd had in K through 12.
Mathanwitch: @TXC2 yeah. what I meant that it had a super uniting factor for a change. 80% of us are on the same page instead of constantly fighting on social. twitter (and now bluesky) is a good crisis communication tool. while being absolutely toxic during peaceful time
SkathrZira: @TehAmelie I do not believe so
TehAmelie: a safety match is a two component explosive, i realized the other day
DigitalSeahorse: another slide?
DigitalSeahorse: Rubber!
TXC2: Mathanwitch ah I see, neat
Balor213: @richard_ermen did you know that Nintendo once made erotic playing cards
DigitalSeahorse:
DigitalSeahorse:
SkathrZira: Mica?, now its Yourca
TXC2: Ourca comrade
DigitalSeahorse: that guy ate a lot of bananas
RocknGrohlNerd:
@DoodlestheGreat thank you for that it is interesting to see how is this handeled (or maybe not handeled) elsewhere in the world
Marvoleath: @Balor213 was it after or contemporary to the love hotels?
richard_ermen: @Balor213 A....what? Really??
SkathrZira: They have always called themselves a toy company
TXC2: Nintendo is over 100 years old, they've made a lot of thing
SkathrZira: They just view games as modern toys
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Balor213 how erotic are we speaking
richard_ermen: Fascinating.
SkathrZira: Japan 50's erotic so probably exposed ankles
RocknGrohlNerd:
spicy
TehAmelie: exposed neck bases
SkathrZira: Fully clothed but a suggestive pose
RocknGrohlNerd: yeah I assume it was some time ago since the company is as TXC2 mentions, kinda old
RocknGrohlNerd: yes Alex I have
SkathrZira: Some of those pens undress the lady when you click em
Balor213: @marvoleath yes, @richard_ermen yes, and @rockngrohlnerd I heard some described as nudes
SkathrZira: No press for you I guess
TheDevil_Risen: Back from the shops, i miss anything?
richard_ermen: Those naked ladies pens felt ancient when I found one in the 90s
TehAmelie: my babysitter had one of those pens. i was too young to appreciate it so i just thought it was the most hilarious thing since Calvin and Hobbes
DigitalSeahorse:
I have a mug where there's a puppy on the inner rim so you drink the tea to safe the puppy from being scalded
richard_ermen: That sounds lovely
SkathrZira: I have always wanted to get the Star Trek mug which is heat activated and shows them being transported
DigitalSeahorse: puppy likes a warm drink too
RocknGrohlNerd: well there are sharp bits , I wouldn´t advise it
Balor213: Access to that building is based on a side mission for the Ward
DigitalSeahorse: there's kitten and puppy on the outside
SkathrZira: I like many things that would be distressing if I was submeged in them
TehAmelie: now i wonder what temperatures are safe to operate transporters in
TehAmelie: Picard brings his hot tea, gets misplaced into a sun
SkathrZira: I remember a TOS episode where they transport into a sub zero location
TheDevil_Risen: that's a nice touch that the NPCs loot their kills
TheDevil_Risen: adds to the immersion
Laserbeaks_Fury: the question is does the gear go poof, or does it move inventories
Balor213: That's for a Ward side mission @loadingreadyrun
TheDevil_Risen: 1234?
DigitalSeahorse: hehe
TheDevil_Risen:
vingris_: Yellow lock?
SkathrZira: I know this code and I'm not telling
vingris_: Can you shoot it?
RocknGrohlNerd: acces denied? cowards
DigitalSeahorse: xD
TXC2:
it's tactical Alex, you wouldn't understand
DigitalSeahorse: Gucci
SkathrZira: I like that rifle, I use it on mah game a lot
TehAmelie: does it happen you loot some body and they have a gun put together wrong?
SoundGuy0dB: that keypad door was a fun little puzzle once I worked it out
SkathrZira: Now I have sown back together wrong playing in my head
RocknGrohlNerd: (dies)
DigitalSeahorse: bleedy
SkathrZira: @SoundGuy0dB I gave up and googled it
RocknGrohlNerd: those subtitles, are crackig me up every time,
Marvoleath: wouldnt it freeze easier above ground?
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Time to yeet a dozen grenades into the sky to lose weight.
TehAmelie: i lived in a house where the water pipes froze whenever it got too cold. they were just badly insulated for north Sweden though
SkathrZira: @Marvoleath I think air conducts heat better than the ground
DigitalSeahorse: one of the last things grandma taught me was about water pipe return hose for backflow allowance
SkathrZira: Gotta prevent water hammer
just__fitz: What is the 1 sentence pitch for this game, I've never played or seen it before
RocknGrohlNerd: yes @Marvoleath it might but, its easier to repair
Lysander_salamander: yay the lizard lived
DigitalSeahorse: or air escape
SkathrZira: @just__fitz Survival in the most hostile environment imaginable
Lysander_salamander: is there an in-game camera in this game?
TehAmelie: come to think, the game could almost work just as it is if rebranded to Southern Reach
TXC2: Lysander_salamander possibly for the cutscenes
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would be suspicious of a dog distraction
Lysander_salamander: I mean, for taking pictures of scenery and neat bus-stop art
TehAmelie: the Zone and Area X, both alien environments imposed on Earth
Mathanwitch: ah, Zaton. my favorite location in the game. I didn't have access to Ikarus, because I said fu to Korshunov, so I had to hobo around without a proper base and trade with the bandits on one of the ships
TXC2: Lysander_salamander ah, not that I know of, but I've not played this game of the series
DigitalSeahorse: pipes need air to move freely in them to function as intended
SoundGuy0dB: I keep meaning to check if there’s a good mod yet for NVG’s
TehAmelie: doing pushups out of boredom, that's dedication
SkathrZira: The only mod I have is to make it run properly on my 6 year old PC
TheMerricat: Totally normal thing to do when someone barges into your room, start doing pushups to intimidate them.
TehAmelie: at least he didn't do them with elevated feet
RocknGrohlNerd: @TheMerricat makes absolute sense !
A_Dub888: “How did you get in here stalker?” The door was open…
SkathrZira: I think that man is talking but I can't hear anything over that moustache
RocknGrohlNerd:
TheMerricat: Oh this guy is either the one or the one who fucks it all up, isn't he?
DigitalSeahorse: he's got a Bob's Burgers mustache
SoundGuy0dB: this mission chain is about the furthest I’ve been. I keep getting distracted by wandering around and looking for new mods for guns & blueprints.

SkathrZira: I live on that continent and it's hilarious when people mix em up
richard_ermen: Wtf.
TXC2:
what's the bet that people think of Africa as one place because of colonialism ?
Marvoleath: Isnt Africa the continent with the most countries atm?
SkathrZira: More ignorance I would say
DigitalSeahorse: YOU'RE not real, Mr NPC
Marvoleath: Africa - 54 · Asia - 48 · Europe - 44 · North America - 23
lightfut: Lol yes Africa is tied for the most continents
SkathrZira: @Marvoleath It has 54 countries if my memory serves
RocknGrohlNerd: I would believe it it is absolutely massive
A_Dub888: *slaps roof of continent* You can’t fit so many countries in this bad boy
richard_ermen: Since Africa remains divided by many imperialist lines, new countries do spring up over time where the people go "Wait, we're not [european concept of a people]!"
SkathrZira: North America has 23 countries?
TXC2:
of course Africa is big, it's the size of Greenland
SoundGuy0dB: no guide sadly
richard_ermen: I think you mean "Red White and Blueland"?
Marvoleath: NA included central America in this breakdown, I believe
DoodlestheGreat: This has been a nice morning.
