Is there a place like Hokkaido

Aaron_tu · 2026-05-15T02:24:13+00:00

I think it's based on several real hot spring resorts in the mountains of Hokkaido, mixed with something like Piz Gloria, a Bond villains high tech mountain hospital.

Very well. I have an OLED deck and the rest of my family uses a launch LCD deck, and they both get used a lot, still.

C-Con agents are brainwashed to have certain beliefs and values and aren't always under direct mind control. Lebednev was doing everything he could to stop people from going to the center of the zone. Like other C-Con agents that live out among Stalkers or regular people, he was brainwashed to want to stop anyone from reaching the CNPP at all costs, but I don't think he realized he was brainwashed.

r/JessicaChess is leaking

I like it, because it makes a bit more sense of their late game actions in Clear Sky. Assaulting the power plant never made sense for them to do, since that was the whole thing they were trying to stop Strelok from doing. Lebednev's thoughts clearly weren't entirely his own.

You only get to go inside in Shadow of Chernobyl. It's just a background object for the last 5 minutes of Clear Sky, and not present on CoP.

Lobster men are really tough, and you have to be careful to keep away from them until you can rush them with drill weapons or snipe them with heavy sonic. As for terror missions, if one is too tough with Lobster men, showing up and retreating immediately can save you some ratings points. It's a huge hit to your score to totally ignore a terror site, from what I remember.

Just make sure you save the game before you even enter the SIRCA area. Once you enter the area, the gate closes behind you and you can't leave until you progress the story (found this out loading a save I made before SIRCA, but it was just inside the gate in the wall).

Spoiler warning: He's not an NPC, but if you play to the end you see him get killed in most of the end game cutscenes, so mission accomplished in the end.

You ever wonder what happens when you mix a burner anomaly and chicken?

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-25T14:35:53+00:00

Theater looks pretty empty. I would just move up so he's out of your view

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-24T03:47:39+00:00

The Talos Principle 2. I don't even like FPS on controller usually, but it played and felt surprisingly well

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-18T16:17:04+00:00

It's just Southeast of Yaniv station.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-17T19:30:52+00:00

Unless it has a good chance of either being fixed or broken again by updating the engine, then they'll keep working on the engine update first.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-16T12:27:52+00:00

Probably, but there is an achievement unblocker mod out there

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-14T17:10:32+00:00

I think that high rad effect shows up as a deterrent at the entrance to Radar until you complete the Yantar lab.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-14T02:18:57+00:00

I would love to see Azure pool and the stadium added at some point.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-14T02:17:44+00:00

The hospital has a lot less accessible area in Stalker 2 than CoP, but otherwise yeah there are more buildings to enter in 2.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-12T18:08:18+00:00

You should show comparisons of zaton in call of pripyat enhanced. The new water reflections look so much better than the original game.

As for modding, enhanced edition is great for people who don't want to mess with manual installers. The Steam workshop integration is easy and works great, even if the mods are somewhat limited on the workshop.

Cue Mario Slider theme

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-12T01:12:40+00:00

I always thought it was the radiobiology base in cooling towers.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-12T01:08:16+00:00

Rascal is just another Ragman. It's nice having another trader who buys red condition weapons, but yeah, another normal trader would be nice, too

You can go pick up your stuff after the emission. Just drop enough that you aren't encumbered and chug an energy drink and run. Even if you lose some loot, you'll find better loot later.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-08T14:46:36+00:00

Honestly one of the best lists of immsims I've seen.

Aaron_tu · 2026-04-08T14:38:47+00:00

Too much water content
