TXC2: nothing but net
pyrrhos___: and find a mtg cube to play. a well designed cube seems like a great post apoc distraction
DigitalSeahorse: owee
RocknGrohlNerd: @pyrrhos___ that would be kinda hot
TXC2: SCORE!
DoodlestheGreat: Oooooo

TheAwkes: Lessons learned in the cat church.
PsychoI3oy: I was thinking the same thing
RocknGrohlNerd: the radiation stacks up pretty quickly

DigitalSeahorse: ORBs
Anubis169: figured
Genie_M: Bubbles!
JollyGee29: The Teslas chase you if you are on their movement path, or if you have any artifacts equipped
hieroglyphica: Well that field is sus
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: missed a couple streams and I see we are officially on the XFiles part of the plot huh
SkathrZira: It might be equipped artifacts that attract the lectric orb
RocknGrohlNerd: @Anubis169 yep, unfortunately
DigitalSeahorse: iodine is to prevent thyroid damage only
Anubis169: this whole area is death
SkathrZira: I wonder what a soviet tricorder would look like
DigitalSeahorse: or prevent taking on the bad stuff with overload of less harmful stuff
Anubis169: Psydog?

fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: those things have range activation?
ArmondoSC: does the game model range activation?
ArmondoSC: thats so neat
pyrrhos___: intrusive thoughts = class clowns in your head
Anubis169: When in doubt, C4 5 6 and 12
SkathrZira: You can tell this game is realistic because the empty casing come out the correct side of the gun
hieroglyphica: They always are
matthaus_c: twins, basil
RebekahWSD: Oh they're invisible! I was so confused
Anubis169: yeah they've got chameleon skin
DigitalSeahorse:

matthaus_c: piggu to the rescue
DigitalSeahorse: they brought pigs and dags
TXC2: that'll do pig
Anubis169: OWW
Genie_M: It's kinda silly they can't climb up
hieroglyphica: Noooo
Anubis169: ankles!
pyrrhos___: fear
ArmondoSC: thats no pig
DigitalSeahorse: eek
ArmondoSC: were gonna need a bigger rock
DigitalSeahorse: and the swap is full of pests
SkathrZira: He knows about the RPG
mwlsn: it’s raining pretty good here and I’m about to go for a walk… “I wanted to go for a nice stroll in the swamps” feels accurate
SkathrZira: He bravely ran away
TheAwkes: When they can't path to you, they hide, whatever weapon you're using.
RocknGrohlNerd:
@SkathrZira

pyrrhos___: taunt -> get bodied
malsareus: I vote we shoot that next time
SkathrZira: I don't suppose rocket jumping works in this game?
Anubis169: so now that we're back here...
malsareus: surely we're swaring vengeance
TXC2: SkathrZira most likely no
DigitalSeahorse: save some ammo and get to talk again
RocknGrohlNerd:
@mwlsn don´t get too wet/cold tho, walks are good, but... 
DracoFire87: Thaaaat does not sound friendly...
ArmondoSC: he took that to the FACE
RocknGrohlNerd:
that was a good jump
malsareus: hmmmm
Anubis169: ok, so about Iodine and human physiology?
malsareus: so our new friend ate an rpg
TXC2: pig tanked a rpg7?
DigitalSeahorse: range and iodine are two separate but life saving things
PsychoI3oy: rpg7 has a minimum arming distance too
SkathrZira: DIdn't eben slow down
PsychoI3oy: (IRL, not sure about in game)
Critterbot: Just ate a direct hit from an RPG, how rude.
matthaus_c: that tracks for a world where regular ass humans eat a 5.56 round to the chest with just a grunt
DigitalSeahorse:

DracoFire87: There's a variant of that RPG's loadout that can take out 750mm of rolled homogenous armor, soooo
TXC2: I gonna assume we have a single warhead version that can penetrated about 400mm of RHA Alex
SkathrZira: Perhaps shaped rpg round is not good against soft targets
Anubis169: there's a bit of a crossover
DigitalSeahorse: I see him
Anubis169: the warhead in-game is apparently the OG-7V Anti-personnel one, but the image is the PG-7VL HEAT
DigitalSeahorse: ow
malsareus: oh he brought friends
DigitalSeahorse: eeeek
JadedCynic:
"Now kiss!" 
DigitalSeahorse: ^
Genie_M: Chomp
DigitalSeahorse: make love, not war
Anubis169: So Pseudogiants can eat multiple RPG rounds, and even ground-pound to deflect them if the angle's right
Anubis169: advice: run
RocknGrohlNerd: noel fielding voice "eels eels eels"
LordZarano: "Could you assholes please just like" Taking a new tack with the YouTube viewers I see
DigitalSeahorse: cameraflage
SkathrZira: one down
matthaus_c: so, we were talking about iodine
malsareus: where do bridges keep their common sense? in the girders?
TXC2: so Iosus ?
JadedCynic: "Escape the swamp"? We CAN DO THIS
Anubis169: LOL
matthaus_c: LMAO
ArmondoSC: everytime
Critterbot:
Wow, how rude! 
Anubis169: and there's the unruly student
DracoFire87: I think the difference is that Ukrainian Jesus doesn't recognize the authority of the Pope?
DigitalSeahorse: hahahhaha
TXC2:
I am howling 
SkathrZira: Iodine appears to be the summon command
JadedCynic: "So getting back to the discussion-" *ANOTHER DAMN INTERRUPTION.
Cptasparagus: Did you see that the Ukrainian government is selling t-shirts that say "I'll wear a costume when the war is over"
JollyGee29: You couldn't have times that better if you tried
SkathrZira: @Cptasparagus I love that
malsareus: save us elextro monsters
DigitalSeahorse: they really don't want us to learn
DigitalSeahorse: HA
PsychoI3oy: i think the game is trying
malsareus: lord praise the electro monsters
JadedCynic: it is the smart Stalker that USES The Zone to defeat his enemies.
DigitalSeahorse: sizzle sizzle
SkathrZira: I once saw a snork leap at me through that glass shard anomaly, it died before it reached me
Genie_M: Nope
DracoFire87: So...iodine? ^_^;
matthaus_c: oh shit I caught a glimpse of green and thought we found an SV98
JadedCynic: oh! ALL the water gets electrified when lightining comes down onto that submerged metal tower
DigitalSeahorse: iodine
Anubis169: yupyup
DigitalSeahorse: iums
DigitalSeahorse: iodine 131
Cptasparagus: Fission and fission accessories
gualdhar: is this an electric guitar or are we just shockingly good?
JadedCynic: it's our venue - great light show
jessieimproved: what if you have hypothyroidism? does it help?
Anubis169: 🌈 the more you knooooow
DigitalSeahorse: I got some of those iodine tablets for free
RocknGrohlNerd:
@gualdhar 
TXC2: and now we know
JadedCynic: you can 'fill' your thyroid with 'benign' iodine, and kinda protect yourself...
PsychoI3oy: and it's preventative for only iodine, doesn't do anything for gamma/beta/alpha/xray/neutron radiation
Critterbot: I think you found one of those before.
DigitalSeahorse: by asking cause I live within 50km of a Pickering plant
JadedCynic:
Dev: Okay, you caught me when I was hungry, and the project lead wouldn't let me go for lunch until I named all the artifacts 
eid010n: I know that public facilities near reactors tend to have stocks of iodine issued to them to hand out as prophylaxis in case of a release. I knew a guy worked at a holiday park inside the designated radius of one.
Spluuga: exposure to nuclear reactor based hazards
JadedCynic:
what, waist-deep water? what did you expect; sprinting Usain Bolt-esque? 
TXC2: we've dropped a quick save right?
RocknGrohlNerd: waist-deep in bloodsucker as well
DigitalSeahorse: F
DracoFire87: Ugh, that knockdown is brutal
Transmuted_Elf: squidward sucks
Cptasparagus: Should have Paul on another keyboard just hitting quick save as needed
DigitalSeahorse:
he did
Anubis169:
The best way to protect against radiation is not to be anywhere near it 
JadedCynic: ohhh, the bloodsucker still arcs with electricity even 'cloaked'...hmmm

gualdhar: Let
Anubis169: good grief bloodsuckers move fast
gualdhar: Them
gualdhar: Fight
JadedCynic: fetch the little metal ball, bloodsucker
DigitalSeahorse: it's funny to see them flail out of the grass
A_Dub888: salutations stalkers, how fares the zone this day?
matthaus_c: durable bastards
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 we're in the swamps and it SUUUUUCKS
JadedCynic: you can almost see the 'predator blur' at times, but they're FAST
RocknGrohlNerd: @A_Dub888 there is infestation of bloodsuckers, kinda , sooo bit rough
TheAwkes: Overloaded, zero stamina, shredded armour. Yep, it's the swamp.
RocknGrohlNerd: road or even soil, at this point
A_Dub888: @rockngrohlnerd oh that’s what @txc2 meant when they said it “sucks”
JadedCynic: Drake, but yeah
Critterbot: Did you get the chocolate bar, or do you maybe not care anymore?
raulghoulia: nuke it from orbit. only way to be sure
JadedCynic:
the sentiment was DEAD ON 
Critterbot: Oh okay, cool. Can sell it at least.
SkathrZira: Getting stuck in a swamp is basically a Ukraine tradition
RocknGrohlNerd:
@A_Dub888 oh 100%

JadedCynic: @raulghoulia I mean, it's not a bad idea (apart from the certainty part)
ArmondoSC: id say we should nuke the swamp from orbit, but i think it would just make things worse

SkathrZira: Today I learned about the Russian suitcase nuke
TXC2: Uranium and Plutonium ?
DigitalSeahorse: you were gonna explain range distance too
Anubis169: yeah inverse square law
Anubis169: 'cause it's too close for inverse 4th power law
JadedCynic:
man, I watched someone play this with english dubs and it was jarringly 'wrong' 
ArmondoSC: isnt fire just a form of radiation?
cheezweazl: Also bees
Anubis169: well it's transmission of energy really
shushu2539: shielding from fire is tricky
PsychoI3oy: heat is just infrared radiation
JadedCynic: increase distance, increase shielding, decrease duration
SkathrZira: Radiation and heat energy all carried by the humble photon
TXC2: stay away from the Sun, keep things between you and the Sun, limit exposer to the Sun
DigitalSeahorse: if you're handling a screwdriver with a demon core there's not really any amount of short time that would help you, criticality and you just get to save others farther away from it
JadedCynic: same principles for 'burrns' - for the 'shielding' water works great too in the infrared radiation range
Spluuga: Our military training book gave us the term "magic rain coat". This was because the the procedure to survive from fallout was to dig a hole and use the rain coat as a tarp. Wait for the fall off to land/dissipate, then brush it off and take it with you..
Anubis169:
Spluuga!! 
Anubis169: it's been a while
ArmondoSC: is this a trap?
JadedCynic: if you DO get burned, immediately start applying running cold water (to draw the heat out of your body as fast as possible to limit its damage to your cells)
TXC2: sun burn is caused by UV radiation, so it all the same really
Spluuga: Also we used the rain coat as a protection against live lit napalm..
Spluuga: @Anubis169 Hewo :3 Been busy
Critterbot: IIRC it was Faust who gave you that pistol.
matthaus_c: they're cribbing Clear Sky's colour >:|
JadedCynic: thankfully as working as a fry cook, hot oil actually transmits heat relatively slowly, so you get more time to react before the heat gets INTO your body
matthaus_c: protagonist spotted
Critterbot: Oh it's these jokers again.
Spluuga: @Anubis169 No, it didn't even stop before burning through it without touching, hence the name.. "Magic rain coat"
JadedCynic: MOVED?
JadedCynic:
and not DESTROYED? 
TheAwkes: Not gone, just in a box.,
TXC2: !TOY"!!
JadedCynic: "I am DIS-A-POINTED!"
TXC2: "
SkathrZira: Just picked it up and carried it away
DoodlestheGreat: Great, now we have a Wish Granter with Siracha. Not my idea of a meal.
matthaus_c: of course Scar speaks like fucking Shadow the Hedgehog
JadedCynic: they stuck it in a wooden crate, and shoved it in the back of a storeroom...
Anubis169: yeah and it granted them in very twisted annoying ways
SymphonySolstice: cool monolith
TXC2: a literal genie if there ever was one
BlueDaNewb: If videos taught me anything it’s not to trust monoliths.
DigitalSeahorse: Elephant's foot only grants death wishes
JadedCynic: "where you stand (in the light or in the dark) isn't so important as which direction you face" - Granny Weatherwax
BrindleBoar: he said he's volunteering you for the front
SymphonySolstice: yes
TXC2: yes
malsareus: a mere matter of bullets
DigitalSeahorse: lol
DigitalSeahorse: good, just bullets
SkathrZira: Just a flesh wound
JadedCynic: "this. this is a refreshing break from the effing Zone"
TXC2: the sweet kiss of hot lead
matthaus_c: wonder how effective it'd be to air drop pseudogiants on enemy bases
SkathrZira: Calm down Wesker
RocknGrohlNerd: @matthaus_c depends on the hight
JadedCynic: @matthaus_c you're assuming they'd let your aircraft confine them long enough to get over the target; I'd say it'd be the loss of some useful planes and crews
Anubis169: DUDE
JadedCynic:

Anubis169: that is fucking brutal
DracoFire87: WHoof. Him DEAD.
SymphonySolstice: rough
PsychoI3oy: close range 12ga?
JadedCynic: someone's had some marksmanship
shushu2539: maybe its a tatoo
Anubis169: what calibre is your rifle Alex?
RocknGrohlNerd: he wont be in GTA7
TXC2: perforated
DigitalSeahorse: that was shark bullets
TXC2: Anubis169 5.45x39
JadedCynic:

DigitalSeahorse: hehehe
JadedCynic:
bravo, alex 
DracoFire87: Ahh, the old Ukrainian burial ritual. You send 'em off with their sausage.
JadedCynic: 'sometimes, if you can't laugh, you might as well cry'
SmilingWorlock: I, too, would like to be buried with my sausage one day
Transmuted_Elf: so did the mission force you to align with a faction?
JadedCynic: THIS is why you hoard so much sausage - for last rites of bodies you find!
DracoFire87: Honestly, perfect slavic humor, that
moist_but_crunchy: @SmilingWorlock that's a hell of a sentence to enter stream on
Anubis169: So regarding radiation, is there any realistic way to decrapify something like a truck that's been irradiated? or is it just disassembled and scrubbed as parts
DracoFire87: Bury me not on the lone prairie, but put a sausage in my hand...
SmilingWorlock:
@moist_but_crunchy Well, welcome 
JadedCynic: ah, it's almost like a 'surface stain'
Anubis169: was gonna say skimming it and reshaping might've been a thing, but it's too difficult and you'd lose too much metal
TXC2: wouldn't be worth the effort really
Anubis169: 'cause it's just the stuff on the surface of the metal in the grain, right?
JadedCynic: but yeah, the more complicated the object, the less worth it to 'clean' it becomes
SkathrZira: The amount of effort to clean the truck is so much, it's easier and probaby cheaper to just get a new one
JadedCynic: but for simple scrap metal that may well get resmelted anyway; cool
JadedCynic: but yeah, finished products are write-offs
Anubis169: Jaded: Does smelting.. for lack of a better term, denature the isotope to the point it doesn't do anything anymore?
BrindleBoar: "The working conditions of metallists are very hard, safety equipment, although it is mandatory, virtually does not exist. Only a few of them use it. most of them wander all day amid radioactive clouds created by the blasting process, breathing radioactive particles. But the fact of using or not the protections is a personal choice. A mixture of fatalism, popular beliefs and difficulties to wear the protective mask during the entire work shift."
Laserbeaks_Fury: What do they do with the flash from that
TXC2: "we take the metal, and we shotgun the radiation clean off"
Anubis169: or does it just shield it to the point it's meaningless
BrindleBoar: Sounds like they shouldn't be doing that, but okay.
Spluuga: Oh, our nuclear waste final disposal site is soon ready to start operations.
Anubis169: Ladder!!
SkathrZira: It is a fundamental tenet of physics that you cannot change nuclear decay rates
Anubis169:
SkathrZira: you can if you start messing with travel speeds 
TXC2:
SkathrZira yeah that would have....implications if we could 
Anubis169: (yeah i know it's decaying at the same rate, it's just time that goes fucky)
SmilingWorlock: Natural decay rate, yes, but what about unnatural decay, aka smashing things
RocknGrohlNerd:
@SkathrZira there is a "in soviet russia.." joke somewhere
I´m sure of it
Anubis169: Today on "Deadliest Coffee"
JadedCynic:
a FAKE, it should be reiterated 
cheezweazl: I used to have one of those from Maine Yankee (the old nuclear plant in Maine)... back in the 90s
Anubis169: Yeah it's not like a bit of the Berlin Wall, they're indexed
matthaus_c: I guess a vinyl figure of Pelly will do...
JadedCynic: I've got a vial of some of the first crude oil pumped out of the Hibernia submarine field...
ShaneLeeAtk: What do you mean you parted out our entire fissionable fuel source FOR TOURISTS?!?
TXC2:
man, how much fake Berlin wall is there floating about? 
LordZarano: And it contains less radiation than those equivalent tons of coal
Anubis169: not that much TXC2, the wall itself was massive
DigitalSeahorse: they gave you a replica right?
TXC2: Anubis169 oh sure, but it just feels like one of those tourist trap kinda things
Spluuga: Yeah there's all kinds of neat things on reactor designs and the systems around them
JadedCynic:
@TXC2 ironically, someone took some debris and broke it up and sold it a 'bits of wall' only for it to turn out to be an even more historic location, 
Anubis169: nah the tourist trap is the price they charge for 'em, there's not much need for fakes, just a price hike
TXC2:

TXC2: and we're back
ArmondoSC: aww shit, here we go agian
DigitalSeahorse: 1986 calendar of course
ArmondoSC: holy hannah what a payday
DigitalSeahorse: Lead
TheAwkes:
Protected pockets are 
DigitalSeahorse: and you've got a sole on your tummy
JollyGee29: The blueprints just unlock upgrades at all technicians
JollyGee29: I don't think there is a way to view what you have
ArmondoSC: i like that the launcher is already broken
TXC2: given what launchers have to do the fact they don't break every time they're used is a miracle of engineering
DigitalSeahorse:

TheAwkes: Medium radiation is a lot, when it's not being balanced. Even weak is annoying.
JadedCynic:
one really awesome artifact with buffs but loads of radiation, and then four more artifacts whose chief purpose is just to reduce that radiation 
SkathrZira: Stop if you taste pennies
TheAwkes: And any extra rad protection from artifacts reduces your exposure to rads in the world, beyond what's in your pockets.
DigitalSeahorse: endurance is good
TXC2: so zoomy now
SkathrZira: Performance enhancing artifacts
JadedCynic: the elaborate balancing act to get the most out of them is great; I know I'd do that if I was running a ttrpg game...
TXC2: probably hard to get good Audio equipment in the zone
SkathrZira: The ward steals it all for their progaganda
PsychoI3oy: do you have ammo?
ArmondoSC: always forgets the ammo
TXC2:

ArmondoSC: wut?
ArmondoSC: big orb
BrindleBoar: that is a very large bubble
shushu2539: thats strange, like a giant bubble
ArmondoSC: hot orb
BrindleBoar: too spicy to ponder

Thanks for subscribing, Zael250! (Today's storm count: 10)
DigitalSeahorse: un vash
accountmadeforants: Beware: Sassy cows
DigitalSeahorse:

SkathrZira: ACOG for slugs I guess
accountmadeforants: Boss man has the good stuff
DigitalSeahorse: woooo
TXC2: good lord how much is this scope?
QuixoticScrivener: is there character progression in this game, or just gear progression? like, can we get stronger and raise the encumbered threshold?
SkathrZira: Only with equipment
JadedCynic: @QuixoticScrivener not to my knowledge, no - just 'gear up'
JadedCynic: your own 'skill' of the player is more a factor
TXC2: means player skill has to go up, not character
JadedCynic: reaction time, precision, perception, etc
accountmadeforants: I agree, especially if a game has a leveling system but still just scales everything to your level. At which point... why bother.
Strebenherz: No hp levelling or damage levelling
JadedCynic:
and of course *learned*experience*of*The*Zone* 
matthaus_c: the best player character power is quicksave quickload
Cptasparagus: I looked into how the vector's action functions and it makes my brain hurt
JadedCynic:
the secrets are in figuring out HOW this part of the Zone will try to kill you 
matthaus_c: za monolit
JadedCynic: Yeah, the writing is nice
accountmadeforants:
@matthaus_c Your level in Chronomancer is the number of saves you have. 
Strebenherz: Makes you think in universe about how to avoid dead, not how game stats
Cptasparagus: the time when that one guy was two guys superimposed
JadedCynic:
or kiting that pack of bloodsuckers into an electrical field in the swamp 
matthaus_c: the stories tend to be very stupid
Strebenherz: The day to day is hilarious and scary
JadedCynic: the *overarching* 'main story' yeah
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think that's valid. I hates how present the MSQ of Fallout 4 was
Strebenherz: You had a goddamn fistfight with a drunken guy while he was eating half a loaf of bread, that was magical
Laserbeaks_Fury: The balance in BotW and TotK are way better
accountmadeforants: That's a lot of games with great gameplay loops. Hell, I don't think there's ever been a good Monster Hunter story mode.
JadedCynic: "I'm here and surviving and slowly learning and getting better" "okay, but why are you here?" ....*shrugs*
TXC2: m-m-m-m-multiball!
FeistierErmine subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 74 months!
JadedCynic: @accountmadeforants wait...you're trying to tell me Monster Hunter games have *stories*? *skeptic*
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, FeistierErmine! (Today's storm count: 11)
matthaus_c: ahh good ol Compass
matthaus_c: fleecing Noah for like 4 of these was so fun
JadedCynic: Pinballing from anomaly to anomaly
accountmadeforants: @JadedCynic It's the part in between you buying the game and actually playing the game
Laserbeaks_Fury: There was a little bit of LN Disonance in Fallout 4 where the game lent itself to wandering and exploring, but the MSQ was "WHERE'S MY BABY?!?"
TXC2: "back in my day Compass was a quest item" "shh granpa, to bed with you"
JadedCynic: @Laserbeaks_Fury and 3, and...and...
JadedCynic:
at least with the TES games, BethSoft could fall back on "you're a prisoner, and if you don't run this little errand for the Emperor, you'll be executed" 
TXC2:
Fuck you game 
SkathrZira: Ask them not to start until you are in shelter
BrindleBoar: the Red Forest has to be the scariest place on earth to weather a storm
JadedCynic: sinkhole created by an irradiated bulldozer falling through...
ArmondoSC: out if the frying pan i guess
ScrapyardGhostTrain: "shelter"
matthaus_c: fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
SkathrZira: "ShELtEr"
TheAwkes: Damn. I've never been directed to a death cave during an Emission! I feel left out now.
CaptainSpam: I mean, technically it's shelter.
JadedCynic: ^^^
SkathrZira: Out of the frying pan
hieroglyphica: Handled like a stalker
JadedCynic: THAT is what alex loves
BrindleBoar: there was something next to that ammo box
TheMerricat: For some reason the storm reminded me, for anyone who enjoyed Alex's Pacific Drive PIF, The game is included in this month's humble choice bundle if anyone wants it.
hieroglyphica: The victorious 'Eat shit!' is always my favorite part of an Alex let's play
JadedCynic: heck, a classic D&D module starts with the party taking shelter from a sandstorm into a cave...
TheAinMAP:

SkathrZira: A major part of The Hobbit is sheltering in a cave that turns out to be spicy
TXC2: SkathrZira also Empire strikes back
SkathrZira: If you right click in the guitar mode, you strum upwards
shushu2539: maybe a mutated boar throws a rope
TXC2:
has been activated
TheMerricat: You are in a maze of twisty passages. All the same.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Nice o fthem to leave meds after the trap
TeodorantZMX: hello I just wanted to say that alex is cool
SkathrZira: That is true
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Here's a tourniquet to bind up that limb you just lost"
ArmondoSC: another one!
JollyGee29: I literally just found this last night and was chuckling to myself when you ended up in that cave
SkathrZira: I have not lost my arm, it's over there, I can still see it
Laserbeaks_Fury: I heard you like RPGs in your RPG
TeodorantZMX: does this game have kanisters that explode if you melee them?
TeodorantZMX: that is my enduring memeory from the og stalker talking sim
TXC2: TeodorantZMX not that we have seen
TeodorantZMX: does this game have Zastava weapons?
ArmondoSC: did they turn on you?
TeodorantZMX: i am from the country that makes zastava weapons
TheAwkes: The repeating theme of Mercs doing fucked shit in the zone and attacking you when you interrupt them is great.
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Not my circus, not my monkies"
BrindleBoar: just walking through gunfire because it's not personal
ArmondoSC: they heard you got an RPG and they want it
shushu2539: it may be something valuable nearby
hieroglyphica: Byyyyeeeee
SkathrZira: I think it's a scripted event, happened to me as well when I went into the cave
Cptasparagus: they dropped here to get it too
JollyGee29: This entire area seems to have more A-Life than elsewhere
TXC2: TeodorantZMX most of the weapons in this game are either of Soviet or west European origin
SkathrZira: Beeg masheen
hieroglyphica: They look terrifying active and not
SkathrZira: You ever want to make an entire hill go away? I have the machine for you
hieroglyphica: I am rehabbing a cultivator, which is a machine that saws the earth, and it reminds me of a teeny tiny version of that
hieroglyphica: I would like to destroy my lawn so I can remake it with clover
SkathrZira: Those things negate fall damage
Laserbeaks_Fury: "How did you guys even get killed?" *gets shot 50 ft into the air*
JadedCynic:
careful, alex - do you REALLY wanna know? 
TXC2: "how did these guys even die?" "look, not everyone has protag powers like you damnit, get some class consciousness"
JadedCynic:
thanks to the zne, you don't even need conveyor belts to move loose earth 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Thats a good visual marker
JadedCynic: Zone*
Laserbeaks_Fury: the floating leaves
SkathrZira: Mebbe quicksave
JadedCynic: ^^^
JadedCynic: hmmm...
TXC2: !advice
LRRbot: The face is where the hitpoints are.
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh i see
TXC2: are we being shot ?
JollyGee29: Might be worth it to find and kill that poltergeist
SkathrZira: There is a mutant throwing stuff
TXC2: I think there's two
JollyGee29: If you take off your artifacts, the tesla will leave you alone at least
DigitalSeahorse:

CaptainSpam: Gravity. Always trying to murder you.
DigitalSeahorse: xD
DigitalSeahorse: hehehehh
Strebenherz: could you look back at the skeleton for a moment?
TXC2: the story telling
Strebenherz: or wait movin nevermind
TheAwkes: Too dangerous to leave. *~sits down, stays forever*
LordZarano: Smash cut to...
DigitalSeahorse: ow, right onto nails
DracoFire87: This is where the highlight reel cuts to it not being worth it, doesn't it?
SkathrZira: I hope not
SkathrZira: Who left all these holes lying around
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would simply not be in the murder kill Zone
JollyGee29: I could never do an iron man of this. I'm over 250 deaths and haven't even finished the plot. Mostly from falling to my death
Anubis169: You didn't even do ironman on your Call of Pripyat Misery Mod stint a few years back, and everybody was saying "go on do it etc etc"
Strebenherz: did you just get shoed
Anubis169: (austin powers) Who throws a shoe!?
TXC2: I MIGHT be able to ironman CoP, but I know that game like the back of my hand
JadedCynic: "Who throws a SHOE? I mean HONESTLY!"
DigitalSeahorse: probably
TheAwkes: There's a bit of a trick to it, and it's a pain in the ass, but it's doable.
Cptasparagus: in the tradition of George W Bush
Abelzumi: Something something Bush
Abelzumi: Eyyyyyy
JadedCynic: hivemind high five! o/\o
Abelzumi: Hive-five?
JollyGee29: Robbed
SkathrZira: Maybe don't jump
Anubis169: I like where your heads are at Stalkers
TXC2: Bush didn't throw the shoe, he dodged it, quite well really
Cptasparagus: @TXC2 actually it was also him throwing. time travel.
DigitalSeahorse: hmm
SkathrZira: Like that Red Dwarf episode with JFK
TXC2: Cptasparagus I would believe that Bush would travel in time to stop himself being president
TheAwkes: DAMN, my dude. That was smooth. Took me ages trying to be careful to do that.
Anubis169: SkathrZira: We've been copied more times than that poster of the tennis girl scratching her butt!
BrindleBoar: how are there so many rats, what are they eating
tknomncr: That's alot of rates
Strebenherz: wrong neighborhood, this is rat country
TXC2: the Zone needs Cats, lots of em
shushu2539: cangarats
TXC2: GAUSS?! oh mama!
Anubis169: Gauss ammo!?
JadedCynic: how are thesre so many and no food? they should've eaten each other by now
Anubis169: worth it, 100% worth
TheAwkes: Molto bene.
Strebenherz: they remind me of jerboas from ark but stalkerfied
SkathrZira: Evil Chinchillas
Anubis169: so many rats x_x
Anubis169: LOL
FarleyF: !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!)
Anubis169: already on it
Strebenherz: i love that they're just jumping around more than attacking
JollyGee29: The real question is, what are these rats eating?
JadedCynic: ^^^^
SkathrZira: Shoes
Strebenherz: stalkers, who drop loot, which lures more stalkers?
TheAwkes: @JollyGee29 Curious stalkers, obvs.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @JollyGee29 Knowing rats? Each other.
SkathrZira: Jump off the tower, it will be fine
TheAinMAP: Why are these rats even up here? Wouldn't they like it on the ground more?
DracoFire87: How did the rats GET up here? It required Alex to do a bunch of gnarly jumps!
BrindleBoar:
you did bring a parachute, right 
TXC2: rats can climb
Strebenherz: anomaly decided to have an afternoon of rat flinging
Strebenherz: SHOE
JadedCynic: @TheAinMAP they can climb just fine; maybe driven up here by the poltergeist, but why haven't htey eaten each other by now?
DigitalSeahorse: shoe enough
Strebenherz: maybe there were a lot more rats before they went lord of the flies on each other
DigitalSeahorse: for shoe
Anubis169:

DigitalSeahorse: oh minecraft foliage
Anubis169: vertigo
BrindleBoar: just another day in the zone
TheAinMAP:

DracoFire87: TFW when you'd rather a firefight than more of this eldritch BS...
BrindleBoar: you know things are bad when you're running towards the gunfire
SkathrZira: New gun though, yay
QuixoticScrivener: you’re getting paid?
DigitalSeahorse:

ArmondoSC: youre at like 75 weight
JadedCynic: never liked poltergeists since I first encountered them in folklore, and nothing in the Stalker games has done anything to change that feeling...
TXC2:
this journalist got everywhere 
Anubis169:

JollyGee29: Shot him through the world!
TXC2: MY GODS ALEX!
Anubis169: He never saw it coming
JadedCynic: wow, he wasn't quite dead
QuixoticScrivener: it was a ghost corpse!
DigitalSeahorse:

TXC2: you didn't have to delete them from exsitance
JadedCynic: as Miracle Max would say, he was "mostly dead"
SkathrZira: He became gone
JadedCynic: apparently Alex learned the Undo function???
Anubis169:
by the way Alex, I blame you and this game for getting me hooked on tinned mackeral again. No clue why i stopped, it tastes wonderful 
CaptainSpam: That corpse had unfinished business in this mortal coil! The corpse specifically, not the person.
ArmondoSC: tornado!
DigitalSeahorse: a big dust devil
TXC2: why that look like Mushroom cloud?
NorthstarTex: at least an EF1
ArmondoSC: well
NorthstarTex: that train does not look ok
SkathrZira: Thats not how trains work
ScrapyardGhostTrain: That train had a bad time.
DracoFire87: Uhhh, I don't think trains are supposed to collide like, um, that...
TheAinMAP:

DigitalSeahorse: pretty seams of welding or somesuch
Anubis169: so big it's throwing off a sense of distance
TXC2: Sproing
hieroglyphica: ~danger zone~
NorthstarTex: is it moving?
Anubis169: danger will robinson!
hieroglyphica: Seems like it
shushu2539: to deanomalize them?
DigitalSeahorse: he looks distressed
NorthstarTex: o7
DigitalSeahorse: like when Coney lost his ears
Invitare: 30 to 40 feral dogs
hieroglyphica: real unexpected, dog storms
Anubis169: there are so many!
DigitalSeahorse: o7
Anubis169:
bunker 
Anubis169: for bunking in
TXC2: the train station
SkathrZira: Are these guys in Train-ing?
DigitalSeahorse: nice big 4H club building
hieroglyphica: Gotta love distant howls
TXC2: BIG IRON!
TheMerricat: according to google you are supposed to be able to shoot into them and the bullets just hang there for a few seconds. but that was a google search.
Anubis169: Do you feel lucky punk?
TXC2: it's like the gun from blade runner
SkathrZira: 9mm Revolver, seems wrong somehow
DigitalSeahorse: woah
MDK_Marshal: Holy Bus, are we hunting armoured horses or something?
DigitalSeahorse: heavy
Anubis169: !powah
Anubis169: !power
TheAwkes: @TheMerricat Yeah, standard slow-zone business.
Anubis169: gah it got taken out
DigitalSeahorse: "Heavy!" - Niel
ButButTheJesus: hi folks, we over-cucumbered?
TXC2: ALOOOOOOOOHA!
JollyGee29: Consider how texture filesizes have ballooned, it's probably over 10mb now
DigitalSeahorse:
odd music choice
SkathrZira: It's a lighter for meat
TXC2: meat lighter = slow cooker ?
TheAwkes: You can make it a shotgun.
JollyGee29: Yea, you can turn the revolver into a shotgun
TheAwkes: It's my favourite shotgun in the game by a wide margin.
DigitalSeahorse: to light your meat candle
Anubis169: that's 3mm
TheMerricat:
I don't know _what_ it is, but the picture of it in the Stalker Wiki makes SCP entries look tame. 
TheAwkes: It's not a type, it's 12/70 buck.
TXC2:
make it fire 12 gauge? turn it from a wrest beaker into an arm smasher 
TXC2: *wrist
Cptasparagus: what about 3 rocket launchers
Anubis169: one for the week and one for sunday best
TXC2:
RPG7s are disposable right? just like the m72 LAW 
Anubis169: is the amount you were carrying, the reason why your stamina was draining so fast?
TXC2: Anubis169 most likely yes
Anubis169: ooo nice
Anubis169: LOL
DigitalSeahorse: xD
TXC2: true of the AK in real life TBH
TheAwkes: The AK variants really suffer in penetration and stability at this point in the game.
ScrapyardGhostTrain:
Time to upgrade to an AN-94. 
SkathrZira: 2 shot burst and 4 times the maintenance
hieroglyphica: My dog has commandeered me for naps, so adios y'all
Anubis169:
later heiro 
TXC2: so long hieroglyphica nap well
hieroglyphica:

SkathrZira: Slugs
TheAwkes: It's the equivalent of what's on your SMG, there.
HouseofShadow: To see further.
Metric_Furlong: aesthetics
