hieroglyphica: Well, being unemployed has allowed me to catch just all the streams. It has that going for it
hieroglyphica: and my dog is happy
RedtheLily: reading the going live notification felt like somebody grabbed my head and spun really really hard
hieroglyphica: Alex often leaves one with that sensation

TXC2:
I think we in a kill everyone who isn't us situation 
TheAwkes: Sometimes nobody is a friendly.
Boiler_bot: zappy
SkathrZira: spicy water
DigitalSeahorse:
DigitalSeahorse:
DigitalSeahorse: hehe
TheAwkes: Just increment that caution dial by one.
TXC2:
heroine and pervatin, a winning combination 
DoodlestheGreat: Hi ho!
TXC2: hello DoodlestheGreat welcome
DigitalSeahorse: that's why they call them the 3 blind mice
DigitalSeahorse: they hang in 3s in your blind
TXC2: magic door!
TheAwkes: If there's any such thing as a good person in the Zone, Richter is in a firm first place for that title.
Boiler_bot: kicky knifey
Meltalar: im glad, there are no quick time events
TXC2: dang
DigitalSeahorse: that sure wasn't quick
Boiler_bot: Maybe don't take out the kni-oh well
hieroglyphica: They always take out the knife
TXC2: so we got stabbed AND it's raining?
RocknGrohlNerd: @TXC2 what a day, unbelievable
undecided44: Is that the sound of rain on the jeep, or a hailstorm on a tin carport roof?
hieroglyphica: Right? It sounds more solid than rain for sure
TXC2:
almost sounds like popcorn
TehAmelie: or a firefight nearby?
Strebenherz: oh shoot didn't realize early morning stalker stream. mornin yall.
hieroglyphica: There was definitely that at first
SkathrZira: SIRCAA, Some Idiots Researching Caribbean Artifacts Awfully
Strebenherz:
100
hieroglyphica: Morning!
JadedCynic: we haven't seen especially cold weather in The Zone - no sleet or snow or ice...so I'd say just really hard driving rain
TXC2: SkathrZira clap clap clap
DigitalSeahorse: rain on metal roof is pretty loud
SkathrZira: Alex really puts the L in STALKER
hieroglyphica: I think I forget how much insulation there is in modern cars
DigitalSeahorse: ptweee hotweed leaf right in the kisser
JadedCynic: yeah, that's the other thing - there's a LOT of dampening/insulating layers on something as 'simple' as a car roof
CaptainSpam: I sort of think it'd be hilarious if there were an easter egg where if you drink, like, 500 energy drinks in a single play session, you die instantly from your kidneys just noping out.
ArmondoSC: dont forget your artifacts
hieroglyphica: A summer ago, my in-laws Subaru developed a mice infestation, in the roof insulation
Boiler_bot: Oh my
hieroglyphica: Could make a limerick about that I suppose
DigitalSeahorse: or a heart attack after just one with twice the caffeine in it
JadedCynic:
Actually, in retrospect, it'd probably be better for your psyche to reverse the order of these two streams; get through the chore of W+P first, and then reward your self with Stalker 2 afterwards 
(ya, I know - scheduling and availaiblity etc)
JadedCynic: they shot first...we shoot last.
hieroglyphica: SIR, sir how dare
Boiler_bot: Sweet stash
JadedCynic: "You shoot at me, sir, in this, the hostile Zone, where it constantly seeks to consume us both at a moment's inattention..."
JadedCynic: I say GOOD DAY, sir!
Invitare: do do di do
JadedCynic:
"Hey! That guy over there's not miserable! Let's get him!" 
JadedCynic:
WetPaperSack: The running animation with a knife still makes me wince... can't get used to it.
ArmondoSC: do you have enough money to get the next leadlined pocket for your suit?
WetPaperSack: Can you get another rad-proof slot with this suit or was that some other get up?
WetPaperSack: Repairing your suit might also be more prudent
ArmondoSC: yeah it was like half his money to repair it too
Boiler_bot: So is this game good to play as someone's first STALKER experience?
WetPaperSack: Ahh, I missed that... stupid work wanting me to work and stuff
malsareus: good evening Stalker, are we helping Dalin make more Obilisk mistakes?
JadedCynic:
it's got some easter eggs that allude to the older games, but they're not NECESSARY to appreciate this game 
Boiler_bot: Cool!
DigitalSeahorse: they got rid of headbob in this one didn't they?
JadedCynic:
the only catch is, if you do feel like looking back at the older games after playing this...well...um, it's gonna be J A N K Y (and not just the specific game, just 'games from back then were so different' 
)
Laserbeaks_Fury: Nice of the helmet to have lights in them to highlight the sweet spot
TXC2:
Stalker games were not janky for late 2000's, they were janky full stop
hieroglyphica: In retrospect, I put up with a lot for a good game
JadedCynic:
@Laserbeaks_Fury Yeah, that tiny scratch on the faceplate has been BUGGING me my entire time in The Zone; someone keeps marking all their suits so every one I find or buy has that frustrating little mote of dust floating in my vision!
Laserbeaks_Fury: I do like big sandboxy games like this, but I worry the trend to AI is going to take away any curation in favor of filling out enormous maps with a bunch of generated chaff
JadedCynic: @TXC2 my point is, that - although Shadow of Chornobyl was janky for its own reasons, ANY game from The Naughty Aughts would be considered janky from today's perspective and even when STALKER:SoC did something 'right' it would still have to go through that filter for someone playing today. I absolutle adore Starflight - did things later games still haven't managed, but to load it up through an emulator now is still jarring.
SkathrZira: All the sand belongs to the guy who made the map
hieroglyphica: Yeah, what kind can get pretty specific for making good concrete too
Cptasparagus: Yeah and you get land from the landmine
TXC2: JadedCynic oh for sure
JadedCynic: just the right grit and size of particles...
DigitalSeahorse: this is the sand that makes all those sandbox games
hieroglyphica: Can't be salty!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Turns out the usability of sand is very granular.
JadedCynic: limestone ash in the mix
hieroglyphica: Heh
TXC2: cause they used volcanic ash and blood
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Laserbeaks_Fury 
enbycephalopod: we actually have a pretty good idea of roman concrete
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah I just read this, they mixed in limestone so when it got wet , it could reseal itself
hieroglyphica: We did figure it out fairly recently tho
Genie_M: We didn't need it until recently
TehAmelie: after the dark ages it took a while to even notice it was something special
SkathrZira: You just teach regular concrete to speak latin
TXC2: also it was only recently they figured out the mortar in great wall of China contained rice
hieroglyphica: You don't NEED it Alex, they do
WetPaperSack: They appear to be in the "Shooting At You" faction
hieroglyphica: @txc2 ooh, news to me! Thank you
JadedCynic: @Genie_M we didn't rediscover it until recently; our concrete has been eroding and crumbling for centuries, but roman stuff was holding on just fine; even when immersed in sea water...because of the secret ingredient we tracked down recently
JadedCynic: we NEEDED it always
Invitare: the secret ingredient is love
JadedCynic: volcanic ash added to the mix
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah I wonder why water resistant concrete is about to become very important
JadedCynic: which when the concrete got wet, would help 'reconstruct' the mass as water eroded it
Genie_M: Yeah but we were fine with bricks and stuff so there wasn't a heavy need to find something better - until skyscrapers basically

A_Dub888: thanks for slamming the door on us asshole
SkathrZira: The place with the guy with the bread, that was Sphere
TXC2: Serpentine!
DigitalSeahorse: hehehehhehehhe
WetPaperSack: Must be their workout day
DigitalSeahorse: just acting all tactical
JadedCynic:
poor ol' Noontide; it's like if AA got forcibly put in charge of a bootlegging operation, and made to sample their own supply to not get shot 
JadedCynic: "I must go, my people need me!"
SkathrZira: All these stashes have name, my stash would be called, incredibly hard to find stash in a radioactive hole full of mutants
ArmondoSC: so we gonna pop down into cordon?
RocknGrohlNerd: well the arrow sure points to something...
A_Dub888: @rockngrohlnerd the Zone?
hieroglyphica: Oof
JadedCynic: "Oh GOD, it's *Skif*. Er...hi, Skif - er...I - I was just on my way to the Cement Factory - my wife wants me to get some bread. Um, good luck, and maybe cya later?" *runs*

@A_Dub888 that is one possibility, yes
TheAwkes: 4 Hours of Emission to Relax and Study to.
JadedCynic:
ah! that passed promptly
A_Dub888:
@theawkes is that why you’re studying with the fridge open? 
TheMerricat: Chat, I have goldfish memory. Was just walked ng into the room and noticed that there was a drive thrurpg slide disappearing. Does LRR have something up on DTRPG now? Or was it an affiliate/partner link? And is it new? I don't remember them doing anything with dtrpg.
TheMerricat:
Well my phone botched the auto correct for that message. 
matthaus_c: you're thinking of the affiliation for Not A Drop To Drink
Zaghrog: ^
TXC2: and we're back
RocknGrohlNerd: so, so back
A_Dub888: @matthaus_c you mean Not a Drop to Thrink?

PsychoI3oy: can you mod the 9mm revolver to take 9x39mm?
PsychoI3oy: oh
PsychoI3oy: i thought it was 9x19
PsychoI3oy: that does explain the stoppin powah
TehAmelie: does that mean the bullet is almost 4 cm long?
PsychoI3oy: I wonder if anyone's made a revolver that fires .300 blackout.....
TXC2: the rhino can fire either 9x39 or 12 gauge
TXC2: TehAmelie yes, however 9x39 is a rifle round and thus has a much longer case then 9x19 pistol round
Mathanwitch: hi everyone. I missed the Skifter date, haven't I
JadedCynic: VSS yeah
TehAmelie: big thicc shots
TXC2: hello Mathanwitch no date yet
JadedCynic: powerful round with subsonic profile for better suppression
matthaus_c: extremely large bullet kill high value target very quietly
JadedCynic: wiat, the Durga? oh dear...
malsareus: everyone stepped out for a smoke
JadedCynic: @matthaus_c put down sentry silently but with certainty

JadedCynic: IKR? big amplifier
Mathanwitch: @txc2 wait, we seem out of SIRCAA. weren't there a moment where Richter sings us "krai miy ridnyi krai" and then you talk about how life sucks
TXC2: Mathanwitch after we got stabbed yes, I though you meant the "date" Ricter promised in Pripyat
TheAwkes: Who would turn an immense antenna array into a psychic mind control amplifier? Surely not the absolutely batshit cult leader trying to restore the power of the Monolith, right?
DigitalSeahorse: another lathe?
A_Dub888:
How’d Richter get from NsBurg to Pripyat?
JadedCynic:
I'll see you yautja and raise you a tech-free variant that makes it a common interaction than a kitted out sweaty alien big game hunter

Mathanwitch: @txc2 oh yeah, this one is a bonus one conditional based on whether you side with Ward or not
JadedCynic: "ignorance is bliss"
malsareus: sounded big
JadedCynic:
just the ventilation system kicking in, I'm sure
Strebenherz: i am impressed and terrified at stalker, that it still surprises alex
ButButTheJesus: just the wind
JadedCynic: sudden gusts of air through pipes...
Natimus_Prime: No such thing as too many rockets.
JadedCynic:
large stiff bearings on huge fans stirring for the first time in a while... , I'm sure
JadedCynic:
that's just condensation being sucked through the vents where it was building up, honest!
A_Dub888: @natimus_prime isn’t that how we got the Nuclear Arms Race?
jaymyers33: that sounds like a fun time ahead
JadedCynic: @Natimus_Prime *laughs in not being encumbered and slowed to be an easy target*
DigitalSeahorse:
JadedCynic: yeah the candles and lamps will help slowly burn off any accumulations of natural gas that blow in...
JadedCynic: nice small engine shop...
JadedCynic: yeah, I remember the chap you rescued talking about 'having to turn on the ventilation system again' I assumed that was just so you didn't suffocate from stale 'air' in the deeper parts of the tunnel network...wish I'd paid more attention...
DigitalSeahorse: gamers don't look up?

DigitalSeahorse: hmm
DigitalSeahorse: wooo
JadedCynic: we went here previously...
TXC2: "much like how we punished left handed people, gamer society punishes those who look up."
RocknGrohlNerd: @Natimus_Prime correct, there is zero historical precedent to that, ceiling famously empty 100% of time
TehAmelie: we didn't need all those legs right
Natimus_Prime: Who needs bones anyway? Just replace your legs with springs, Inspector Gadget style.
RocknGrohlNerd: @TehAmelie agree, I have too, and I barely use them
TXC2: the flesh is weak
TehAmelie: yeah, one is probably enough
JadedCynic: @TehAmelie with every incautious drop that ends in a crunch, Skif gets a couple of millimetres shorter...
TXC2: we got ear pro right?
JadedCynic: *from 2min in the future* WHAT???
TXC2:
ah yes, the greatest from of protection: not giving a shit
RocknGrohlNerd: of course, where else would someting interesting be, than a stinky cave, right?
JadedCynic: yeah, we won't need a suit better suited to environmental resistance than combat, right? #Padme
JadedCynic: wait, bubble sounds familiar from the old games
JadedCynic: yay!
TXC2: JadedCynic it is
DigitalSeahorse: lol
TheAwkes: If you find this cave earlier in the game, before turning the ventilation on, it will just straight kill you with poison gas.
malsareus: bullet, the true omni key
TXC2: it's all coming together
A_Dub888: things can make sense in the Zone?
TXC2:
ok that is CLEARLY night vision on that guy's helmet
malsareus: round 2, shotgun boogaloo
A_Dub888: nade around the corner?
RocknGrohlNerd: @A_Dub888 I like the way you think
Natimus_Prime: Skif's special power is that he can see briefly into the future, so he knows when he's walking into a trap and can prepare accordingly.
JadedCynic: @Natimus_Prime it's what the Alpha Artifact 'blessed him with' when it tore his apartment apart...short-term precognicance
JadedCynic: this is The Zone
A_Dub888: It's hidden in a Sloppy Joe
JadedCynic: Dum Dum our enemies
TXC2: "gentlemen! it's a nuclear device!"
Natimus_Prime: Why is it always mind control? If you need robots, just build an army of robots!
A_Dub888:
@TXC2 "Can you 
it?"
TXC2: A_Dub888 only the once
TXC2: Natimus_Prime the cruelty is the point
JadedCynic: get a little bactine on those cuts
A_Dub888: @Natimus_Prime Humans come prebuilt
SkathrZira: Humans have a built in repair system

JadedCynic: 3...
JadedCynic:
TXC2: sniper shotgun
DigitalSeahorse:
JadedCynic: kinda aweome, but also terrifying
JadedCynic:
JadedCynic: finally!
SkathrZira: Has there ever been a laser rangefinding auto zeroing scope?
JadedCynic: that's what the Vintorez was made for - sneaky infiltration requiring powerful and accurate shots
TXC2: SkathrZira not auto zeroing, but there's a new scope the US army is testing that uses laser range finding
JadedCynic:
yeah you got their attention and then they...ahem - got deep into the weeds, to pardon an expression
JadedCynic: breeching!
SkathrZira: I would wager that no gun is an indoor weapon
A_Dub888: anything is an indoor weapon if you try hard enough
TXC2:
every weapon is an indoor weapon if you don't care about how much indoor is left afterwards
JadedCynic: yay, always a good sign
SkathrZira: Just read the wiki on them, fascinating
ButButTheJesus: @TXC2 turn your indoors into your outdoors!
JadedCynic: yes, alex but you don't put their heads on pikes or leave messages written in their blood
malsareus: Akex going "I wanted to do that"
A_Dub888: ^
TXC2: ButButTheJesus exactly
A_Dub888: @TXC2 It's a great way to reduce clutter
JadedCynic: @TXC2 *laughs in 16/45 turning 'indoor combat' into 'outdoor combat' from 30km away*
SkathrZira: An RPG is always an outdoor weapon, use it indoors and it becomes outdoors
TheAinMAP:
JadedCynic: dangit, why are they becoming brainwashed puppets making them fight SMARTER??? that's now how this is supposed to WORK!
SkathrZira: Going oof after being shot in the head is wild
JadedCynic: *sends alex back to grenade training*
ArmondoSC: i remember this building
A_Dub888: "We don't want to take your dang survey!"
JadedCynic: *breathes*
JadedCynic: NICE
JadedCynic:
welp, again - some of the devs got first-hand experience with them. 
TXC2: that was a big selling point of the OG Stalker game was the realistic bullet physics
JadedCynic: always sosig
JadedCynic: um
DigitalSeahorse: uh

DigitalSeahorse: *backs away slowly*
JadedCynic: yeah, compared to the rest of the Zone, that was pretty decently hidden
DigitalSeahorse: another twister?
JadedCynic: something triggered an anomaly...I'm worried as to WHAT
JadedCynic: did some dude just buy it?
SkathrZira: @JadedCynic It is an anomaly of it's own
JadedCynic: @SkathrZira and it drops uncommon weapons full of just the ammo we need? HANDY
SkathrZira: The zone provides
JadedCynic: nice crown, but no gods, no kings
JadedCynic:
where are we - is it Strelok's death truck?
TXC2: we're in the north part of the cordon
TehAmelie: i've been wondering, do we have infinite bolts or just a lot?
SkathrZira: infinite
JadedCynic: N O S T A L G I A
TXC2: TehAmelie infinite
TehAmelie: how many bolts could there be in the Soviet empire? (infinite)
SkathrZira: The most common artifact, it just generates infinite rusty bolts
JadedCynic:
@TehAmelie it's a special artifact (you can rationalize it as gathering loose bolts when we move around in buildings and vehicles, etc...
TXC2:
the zone is where all the 10mm bolts go
TehAmelie: ha
DigitalSeahorse: I think that feel is mutual
JadedCynic: I have two longarms and I call them "Going Quiet" and "Going Loud"
JadedCynic:
@TXC2 Mind. BLOWN.
rabbitgta: Can't be a mechanic without your 10mm socket
JadedCynic: ♫ You're in the army now! ♫
SkathrZira: Any good mechanic will have two
malsareus: check ifthey have dogtags
RocknGrohlNerd:
@JadedCynic 
JadedCynic: never trust when everyone in a group all looks the same...
SkathrZira: I don't know why but I am reminded of the games of 10 years ago where every single game had to have a bow in it
malsareus: "not my problem"
Strebenherz: another day in the zone
DigitalSeahorse: more floating gun
DigitalSeahorse: got that sinking feeling? try floating gun!
malsareus: they seem busy, let's come back later
TXC2: now this, this is Stalker
TheAinMAP: oUCH
TheAinMAP: Ouch again.
TheAwkes: You have demonstrated a habit of bolting anomalies and then standing where they were instead of going all the way past them.
Strebenherz: having played hardcore minecraft the experience does become monotonous in how safe you have to be
DigitalSeahorse: yiss come rats, or not
TehAmelie: i'd hate to play this with even some mild ironmanning, like one save per hour
DigitalSeahorse: smart rats
Strebenherz: no ironmanning, but limited bolts go
TXC2: Strebenherz you monster!
JadedCynic: it all comes full circle...
TXC2:
I think we shot that one boar from the inside
TehAmelie: that was almost "shave and a haircut"
DigitalSeahorse: reminds me of where that old lady was milking cow and the liquidator came and told her to evacuate and they shot the cow
SkathrZira: He looks bandity
Natimus_Prime: The odd thing is, that's basically just the normal size for wild pigs. those aren't mutants at all. Pigs are way bigger than most people think.
JadedCynic: yep
Fuzzra: Ah, yes. Walk off those boar wounds . . .
JadedCynic: people only ever see 'pet pigs' which are usually dwarf breeds, or worse yet just piglets that the pet-owner gets rid of when the animal grows beyond what they expected
JadedCynic: boars are one reason why our ancestors invented the longspear...
SkathrZira: I recently discovered LazerPig
JadedCynic: gnite moose
JadedCynic: o7
JadedCynic: ♫ take me zone...Chornobyl roads...to the place...I belong...♫
TXC2: of course there's a firefight here
JadedCynic: yeah, let them expend their infiite NPC ammo on it

JadedCynic: I watched someone go back to Shadow of Chornobyl around the same time you started this PiF...the deja vu I'm feeling....
JadedCynic: oh GOD

Mathanwitch: hey, Sydorovich, watsup you old fart
SkathrZira: He does the chicken thing if you watch for long enough
ButButTheJesus: @DigitalSeahorse oh is it that guy that says that?
JadedCynic:
@ButButTheJesus yup! *nostalgic sigh*
Strebenherz: " ASS KICKED BY OUR WARM SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY" XD
Mathanwitch: in this game I finally realised why stalkers hate his guts
JadedCynic: I'd like to think it was the same voice actor, but it's been quite a while...
ButButTheJesus: @JadedCynic ah ok I remember hearing the quote a bunch from my first playthrough years ago. I think I remember this song from my starting Stalker 1 last year too

brb, I have cold chicken in the fridge - feeling like making a tribute!
Mathanwitch: @TXC2 people in the overnight trains used to do it without plate, just using yesterdays newspaper instead. it was always either chicken drumsticks or hard boiled eggs.

ArmondoSC: wolf is the guy in the first game that helps you in the begining
Strebenherz: wait how long have you had a guitar
ArmondoSC: always
Strebenherz: intriguing
TheAinMAP:
TheAwkes: You get to grab the guitar from your first bed and stash room in the first town.
DigitalSeahorse:
JadedCynic:
I was so impressed to see that
DigitalSeahorse:
Strebenherz: that was very good guitar sounds, points for letting you /play/ an not just prescript the notes
DigitalSeahorse:
ArmondoSC: pork, its whats for dinner
Mathanwitch: habar in stashes and quests here is very good if you get here early game
JadedCynic: "Hey, stalkers - ribs are back on the menu!"
ArmondoSC: ah man that was Luda
JadedCynic: dangit - he's got NVGs
TXC2: suddenly we're in Silent Hill
RocknGrohlNerd:
@JadedCynic everybody does, yet somehow we do not 
JadedCynic: *grumbles impatiently over at nexus mods*
TheAwkes: Skif really has a finely tuned skull-based sense of hearing.
TXC2: was that PC on a BOIS screen?
TXC2: *BIOS
RocknGrohlNerd: oh good old northon commander on the pc
WetPaperSack: Probably had to set it to 66MHz
RocknGrohlNerd: or bios, yeah

Fuzzra: I didn't notice the PC, the enema bag distracted me.
JadedCynic: ugh...
RocknGrohlNerd: so many dudes, kinda cringe if you ask me
WetPaperSack: To be fair, enemas tend to be pretty distracting
Fuzzra: @WetPaperSack D:
Anubis169:
RocknGrohlNerd: if you're gonna say that, please at least use 'cringeworthy' 
JadedCynic: I just skimmed through what nexus has for S2; I did find a binoculars mod, but nothing yet for night vision. I'm annoyed that some chad made a mod to REMOVE the 'scope meshes' ...dude doesn't even know how to use a PSO properly!
TheAwkes: @RocknGrohlNerd It's Norton. I double checked when I found it in game the first time. My first DOS GUI.
Lord_Hosk: Shotgun from long range not great?
WetPaperSack: Isn't the Vintar the gun you need for your mission?
TheAwkes: @Lord_Hosk Stalker shotguns fall somewhere in between Doom shotguns and Tarkov shotguns.
Zaghrog: teh VS Vintar is indeed for a mission
WetPaperSack: Sweet
RocknGrohlNerd:
@Anubis169 aaah cringeworthy the proper british variant, like Crimothy and Jimothy.. will keep that in mind
JadedCynic:
good timing; caught him as he was loading a grenade
BrindleBoar: Well.
JadedCynic: there's that envrionmental storytelling
SkylerRingtail: lmao
ArmondoSC: um
BrindleBoar: just shrugs it off
bippityjones: they're cool
TXC2: that Vog looked tiny
bisaflau: "must have been the wind"
Zaghrog: wow, remarkably cool dudes
TheAwkes: Freedom bro shrugging off a 3x39 to the dome.
WetPaperSack: Sorry, finger slipped
WiJohn: I didn't see anything
Mathanwitch: oops. and that's how you lose a few rep points with a faction xD
Anubis169: hehehe
ArmondoSC: didnt you have a stash down there?
TXC2: "dude you just got shot" "nah, couple of love taps, it's nothing"
Gaelan_Maestro: causal head shots between friends
RocknGrohlNerd: @TheAwkes oh hell yeah, that was one lucky guess on my part (norton was also my first)
JadedCynic: Chad: "Tsk, another scruffly little Stalker with an itchy trigger finger - I'll have to get Supply put some fresh paint on those riccochet marks"
WetPaperSack: You can't yadda-yadda the zone
JadedCynic: not even merely gas masks, but rebreathers with hoses
RocknGrohlNerd:
@WetPaperSack but... ..can you bada bing, bada boom the zone?
JadedCynic: aw HELL! I just realized it's 5pm here..weird that the sun's stull out (no, I'm STILL not used to GDDST yet)
JadedCynic:
I was feeling peckish, but the light streaming in through the window was telling me 'it's not supper time yet'
TehAmelie: i'm filtering the twitch compression through my brain, imagining all this greenery is beautiful
JadedCynic: meanwhile it didn't get light until like almost 9am - nobody ever talks about where they're 'saving' the daylight FROM :9
RocknGrohlNerd: @JadedCynic what does GDDST stand for ? God Damn Daylight Savings TIme?
JadedCynic: @RocknGrohlNerd precisely; got it in one
JadedCynic: I literally got a HANGOVER from the changeover this year
BusTed:
TXC2: Controler time!
JadedCynic:
DAMMIT, Controller you gotta DIE now
Anubis169: we're in troublle
TheAinMAP:
DigitalSeahorse:
TheAinMAP:
DigitalSeahorse:
TXC2: controller, what do?
TXC2: !advice
LRRbot: CRIME!
TXC2: SOLD!
hieroglyphica: Great advice
TheAwkes: What do you do with any mutant? Put rounds into it from a safe distance.
JadedCynic: man, wait - this is the same cave...I remember finding a Vintorez in a cave with a Controller!
Strebenherz: !findquote controller
LRRbot: Quote #461: "That's where I store my birth control: on the roof!" —Graham [2015-07-15]
lycorisss77: Hello from Ukraine!
Anubis169: Hello from U...K
TehAmelie: hiya
hieroglyphica: Hello!
TXC2: hello lycorisss77 welcome
lycorisss77:
hieroglyphica: Oh noooooo
RocknGrohlNerd:
@TXC2 oh gawd that got me for some reason it made me laugh AND clap at the same time. thank you
Anubis169: good grief this thing is eating our ammo for breakfast
hieroglyphica: This amount of vision distortion is actually very close to what my migraines are like
TXC2:
RocknGrohlNerd you're welcome
Mathanwitch: just like the classic Sydorovych feat. bandits song sings "тільки но минув Кордончик замаслинив контрольорчик" (just when I passed the Kordon I got killed by a controller)
Anubis169: very well done Alex
BusTed: nasty
hieroglyphica: I'm glad you survived!
Mathanwitch: fantoms go pew pew
TehAmelie: why are psychics also super tough? don't they know wizards are supposed to be squishy
Lord_Hosk: Don't we all
RocknGrohlNerd: lets go Alex
hieroglyphica: Yesss I donate to the radiation pups
ArmondoSC: you ran past the doctor alex
HorusFive: Kyle Hill was able to do it- I feel like it's at least possible (maybe not now)
Mathanwitch: it takes 48+ hours nowadays. and I traveled from London, not NA. but people will totally be happy to see you though
DoodlestheGreat: Because Pooty-Poot needs his oil. Baby oil.
Anubis169: that's a James Turner Cop Moustache
TXC2:
yeah, too many people treat it like a quirky place to visit, and not like the war grave that it kinda is
asthanius: permafrost takes
loufghyslaufey: Gosh, these facial models kinda go hard, ngl
Strebenherz: the rake didn't deserve that hole
SkylerRingtail: The world will breathe easier when he's gone. Among...others.
Lord_Hosk: and thats how Alex got canceled
JadedCynic: kinda makes me think of Franco Nero...
Strebenherz: agreed though fek 'em
Anubis169: nah not controversial, anybody not in his arm's reach would agree with ya out loud
TXC2:
Anubis169 if I was in his arm's reach i'd be chocking the bastard to death, but hey ho
TehAmelie: nobody gets within arm's reach of Putin, he's gone like the emperor in the movie Hero
Anubis169: careful saying that in text, one of my friends managed to get banned by Twitch's hidden chat monitor the other day under the violence rules
Gaelan_Maestro: those bandages look like burritos
Anubis169: he's still appealing
TXC2: Anubis169 yeah I do worry about that
Anubis169: wow!
TXC2: sport hunting!
Anubis169: All of them
HorusFive: All of them
ANeMzero: clown car of a village
BrindleBoar: out of the woodwork
DoodlestheGreat: It takes a village.
TehAmelie: comrades working together
SkathrZira: The whole Stalker playerbase is here
Anubis169: LOL
Gaelan_Maestro: how much pork do they eat? cause ike id not waste that meat
TheAwkes: If you hunker down through an emission here the two shelters get pretty packed.
loufghyslaufey: Aw, chucklenuts. There goes the Tarkov again...
JadedCynic: Perfectly FINE desitnation
DoodlestheGreat: Well, THAT doesn't concern us at all.
WetPaperSack: An apt description
TXC2: Death Cave, heck of heavy metal band name
ForOhForError: visit beautiful Death Cave
shushu2539: all caves are death cave in the zone
loufghyslaufey: Wait. Did they just turn up in the perpetual view?
TehAmelie: yet they singled that one out with that name, it must be special
TXC2:
shushu2539 in the world, do not enter the holes of the earth
JadedCynic: "Death Cave" is just where the local black metal band rehearses - good accoustics and the poltergeist there actually calms down when they play
TehAmelie: have you seen this map of missing people in the US compared to the map of caves?
Anubis169: Shitter's full
WetPaperSack: More like Cpt. Double Tapp
JadedCynic: funny how everyone looks the same under NBC gear...
loufghyslaufey: Ah, so a black box theatre, but more plus(premium) than an ordinary black box.
ArmondoSC: it flew once
TXC2: not just the answer, it was BETTER
JadedCynic: oh! is HE the reason we got footage?
Lord_Hosk: It flew once unmanned
ArmondoSC: via auto pilot
Genie_M: 1 complete and one almost fully built
BrindleBoar: they definitely made more than one, although less than two also sounds correct
Greyah: It's fascinating to me that such enormous projects can wind up just... abandoned. And now it's just sitting there.
Lord_Hosk: and the soviet union determined that a space shuttle was a complete waste of money and the Americans were dumb for flying it that the soyouz were a much better spacecraft.
SkathrZira: Guerilla journalism
BrindleBoar: the size of the bribe alone would send you to space. But you can just break in, because no one is guarding it or actually cares
JadedCynic: history recorded for all time; not lost and forgotten forever
Strebenherz: they what
TXC2: why, to get turbo cancer?
ProcyonFlynn: Well at least they have friends with the same hobby.
JadedCynic: @ProcyonFlynn yeah, that used to be fun
TheAwkes: Oh, I think I remember the Xray video. Their detectors were pegging the scale from outside the house, and they had been spending a whole lot of time in the room with it?
Mathanwitch: but yeah, definitely consider visiting Kyiv or Lviv. especially considering the planes might start flying this/next year
DigitalSeahorse: they fixed up a room in Pripyat somewhere and painted it green, stashed a bunch of camp goods there
TXC2: my favourite part of the history of the space shuttle is the proto X-plane version called the Dyna-Soar
DigitalSeahorse: or was it wallpaper
hieroglyphica: whaaaa
Mathanwitch: best time is April-May, very beautiful chesnut blossoms
Anubis169:
i've always wanted to do a tour of the middle east, it has such a rich history... but ever since 2003, a bunch of places (and a couple countries) are off limits
Greyah: Death Cave is quite the evocative name.
Lord_Hosk: As I understand it the best time to visit is June 1985
Anubis169: Hosk, 2min in the box. Get in.
Anubis169: 👉
Mathanwitch: I still dream of that Japan trip we had to cancel in 2020
TXC2: Mathanwitch ooof
JadedCynic: be fair, Alex - you were REALLY BUSY at the time - overlooking it is totally understandable
DigitalSeahorse: !alex
DigitalSeahorse: yeah I wanted to meet at TCAF and it got yoinked away by covid
BrindleBoar: T_T
Anubis169:
My covid loss was a cancelled Rammstein concert in Cardiff with a prospective girlfriend, that died fast 
Anubis169:
You'll get there man
TXC2:
my covid loss was my attention
DigitalSeahorse: it robbed some visit time away from family too cause I'm not in same town as most of them
Zaghrog: My covid loss was any real form of celebration for me graduating with a Bachelor of Egineering degree. Just a binder handed to me at an office door.
Genie_M: It's been 20 or so years I've been to Cardiff - beautiful place
JadedCynic: my mom passed in june that year (dementia) and we never were able to hold a funeral for her. I've got a grudge with that virus
ANeMzero: I was sad to see Vancaf was cancelled this year. I know the publisher for Drainers was there last year and selling copies.
TheAwkes: Rude of these mercs to come to the bandit house while you're trying to clear it.
Anubis169:
Zaghrog: So when I started my degree, I bought a bottle of Glenfiddich 15y and will only open it when I pass. When I do, i'll pour one out for you too
Zaghrog: @Anubis169 Appreciated!
Anubis169: WHOA
JadedCynic:
@TheAwkes "you're trying to take what I've rightfully stolen!"
Anubis169: oh that wast nasty!
ArmondoSC: the one guy didnt die
ArmondoSC: hes havin a lay down
RocknGrohlNerd: @JadedCynic oh that is so god damn rough, I´m sorry to hear that. the grudge is well deserved
ArmondoSC: little nappy nap
ANeMzero: gave him the big sleep
JadedCynic: that's the nasty thing about armies - they're so damn big...
Mathanwitch: song about Canada on the radio
Mathanwitch: I used to hate it as a kid. now I love it
JadedCynic: accquired taste then?
Anubis169: is it anything like black pudding?
goombalax: isn't it in ukranian MREs?
SkathrZira: The best thing ever is biltong, never met anyone who doesn't like it
TheAinMAP:
JadedCynic: yeah, and that's ...well
Anubis169: that's the hidden stairs with 1 step
WetPaperSack: That was the express elevator
RocknGrohlNerd: @JadedCynic Eric Idle voice "I´d like to leave the army please"
DigitalSeahorse: you cook it first right?
SkathrZira: @RocknGrohlNerd Its dangerous, theres people with guns out there, proper ones too
JadedCynic: dried and salted
BusTed: let 'em cure
Juliamon: it's called "cure" for a reason
Mathanwitch: but salo is very popular. it's kind of like jamon, but a lot more fat, very little or no meat
Anubis169: the jumps already have been
BusTed: huh
DigitalSeahorse: curing gets rid of the brain worm I guess
JadedCynic: people are often surprised as to the many ways of preserving food that do NOT require heat...
JadedCynic: going UP!
Anubis169:
TXC2: Alex pls
JadedCynic: BRB, changing my pants!
TheAinMAP: lrrFINE
Anubis169: what on earth bent those beams like that?
TheAwkes: That's unfair. When I went through that I fell from a great height and died on the ground under the bridge.
Greyah: Goodbye ankles. Didn't need you anyway.
Anubis169: Ankles!
RocknGrohlNerd:
@SkathrZira 
this is a chat of cultured people, I knew it 
Juliamon: Better our ankles than our everything
