Home sweet post-apocalyptic home. Game is ZERO Sievert, it’s like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadows of Chernobyl but much bigger pixels and less progress permanency. BRB, making another run to Igor’s cabin for butter.

homophobic stalker fans r unreal to me because like... Who do you think everyone is fucking .. ? theres no women in the zone.. and if gay men are brought up its often in a gross "joke" about the gay men assaulting straight men. What?? No??? i saw one time a wonderful piece of fanart of strelok, ghost, and fang in dresses and everyone on reddit was so rude about it. as if its not fairly common knowledge men in the military often used to do drag for fun? Where is the difference?

i feel like realistically yes there are many straight men in the zone but also you are very wrong if you think there's no gay men, just statistically. There were definitely men in there sewing their own clothes for drag shows, various small gay bars for those in the know, men making each other discrete gay patches for their favorite jackets. Things of the sort.

gay people always exist. everywhere. whether you think so or not. just statistically, there were definitely many gay men in the zone. this isnt some wacky concept

Daniil Dankovsky from Pathologic would be stuck in Pathologic. He is very screwed.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

Stalker SoC, CS, and CoP were all extremely amateur in design and execution, even if the core idea was good and visual presentation of the world great.

Stalker 2 on the other hand is an entirely different beast. It’s taking all of the individual elements of the originals, and crafting an actual cohesive narrative arc out of them. The guy behind Hardcore Henry (2015) brought his skills to the table with the choreography. People don’t move that much when talking, but cinematographically it’s very well done. In terms of characterisation and emoting it blows actual big name RPGs out of the water. I felt for characters in stalker 2 in a way I haven’t in a lot of games.

More (spoiler free) thoughts on STALKER 2

Haven't beaten it yet, but still really enjoying it at hour 39, although I think Steam's internal counter is glitchy. Whatever. Might have left it on accidentally while running errands or something.

Q: Is the game polished and finished? A: No.

Q: Is it unplayable? A: It's very playable, and at the risk of sounding like I'm coping, (which I am, I really want this to be good) It's fucking STALKER. If you've played the old games and can make some concessions to STALKER being STALKER, you'll enjoy it. That said, not everything works lmao. There's a couple of situations and quests that are softlocked currently, based on what I've seen the few times I've googled stuff.

Q: Does the game have (X from the previous games) in it? A: Probably, it's got a lot in it. The first three games established a lot of lore, and 2 sits at a comfortable distance from them while still bringing back a lot of old memories and characters, either directly or in passing. The game uses many setpiece locations from the older series, but remade and re-positioned. It's not like Clear Sky where they literally copied over maps from SoC and added some new ones. This game has an entirely new zone, with many old memories.

Q: Should I wait 2-3 weeks until either GSC or the modding community patches it up to play it, if I don't want to bang my goddamn head against a wall A: Honestly I don't see why not. The meat is here. GSC is slightly infamous for buggy coding but the vibes are immaculate. If you played Metro Exodus and wished it was less linear, more complicated, and much more open-ended, this is what you've been waiting for.

Q: You sound like a shill. A: I probably am. I love this series.

F!soc s/o who is a silly lil weirdo and blatantly obsessed with the gang. A Yandere, basically

F!soc isn’t a full on stalker or murderer, but she expresses her love strangely since she was raised in a dysfunctional household. If the gang gets hurt in a rumble, f!soc will beat the shit out of the person who hurt them with a blank face and wide, dead eyes (imagine a cat with very shrunken pupils). If any other soc’s harass the gang, f!soc will very calmly ask “want me to kill them?”

And f!soc absolutely can, bc she’s beyond smart enough to understand how to garner sympathy. so if she was ever caught (emphasis on ‘if’) she’d be able to make a concrete alibi on the spot and then go with it

I LOVEEEEEEEE

This and yes ofc pooks

F! Yandere s/o x greasers

Ponyboy Curtis

-he’s a little creeped out at first ngl

-“Should I kill them?” You ask him, a serious, dead look in your eye

-“G-gods no y/n!, Jesus!”

-he knows you do it out of care, and feels a bit bad for snapping like that

-so he gives you a hug of appreciation

-he knows you would do it for him though

-and he absolutely knows you’d get away with it

Johnny Cade

-he’d kill someone for you too

-but when you ask him all he can do is shake his head

-he couldn’t imagine actually killing

-he doesn’t want you to live with that

-he loves that you two are sort of mutually down for eachother

-it’s strangely comforts him

Sodapop Curtis

-he’s the most creeped out by it by far

-“ whoa whoa whoa y/n lets not go that far…”

-he knows that it’s out of care for him

-, but it doesn’t make him feel any better

-he’d feel horrible living with that

-Really knows that you’re overprotective about him and he definitely holds you back from Socs

-he tries to calm you down, stroking your face and holding you close

Darry Curtis

-also pretty creeped out

-Definitely tries to stop you

-And tells you that he appreciates you being protective over him

-doing things like killing people… it’s not something you do

-I think pony boy and soda pop might be a little creeped out by you until they really get to know you

-but you seem to make Darry very happy and they support that 

Dallas Winston 

-he thinks you’re joking at first

-I think he just be shocked when he found out that you aren’t

-Like doesn’t even really know how to comprehend it

-I’m aware that he doesn’t have much of a moral compass

-but he still doesn’t take killing lightly

-Especially with his experiences in New York

-I don’t even know if he’d stop or not because I feel like hes just stand there in shock

Two Bit Mathews

-he also thinks you’re joking at first

-Definitely pulls you away like let’s not do that

-he’s a little bit shocked

-“Don’t kill no one for me, y/n.” He’d grin to break the tension a bit “I ain’t THAT special.”

-I think that humor is kind of his coping strategy to when he scared

-so I feel like he would kind of immediately make a joke

Steve Randle

-he simply tells you not to kill the person

-Almost questioning of your relationship after that

-but deep down he knows that it’s just you and your dysfunctional household you grow up in

-And he loves you a lot

-he would probably kiss you on the head and tell you softly to never do that again

Decided to write a Stalker Fanfic, you can read it here Focuses on Scar/Shram and Strelok! Basically the Clear Sky plot if Scar never trusted Clear Sky and instead of hunting him down worked together with Strelok. Spoiler warning for SoC and CS!
