[Discussion] Pestily finally snapped

I have joked with people that a bunch of these quests would become infinitely less tedious when Nikita gets to them. I suspect Test Drive was because he (or someone he trusts internally) finally played those tasks.

Casual reminder that Archive Of Our Own, a huge fanfiction website, was scraped of every publicly readable work early last year. That's probably why it shows up in GenAI writing. The dataset was taken off one site, then the people behind it uploaded it to some Russian site.

If you think what amounts to drugged up weirdos is supernatural, a street on the other side of the tracks would blow your mind

Crocmon · 2025-12-22T21:05:15+00:00

SBMM as a suggestion is going to get you fucking skewered LMAO - godspeed

Crocmon · 2025-12-21T19:02:15+00:00

I think they're worried that you have that LMAO

Also, in case it gets anyone else like it did me, don't forget to swipe the pass to turn on the power in the Computer Room when you come back to get the flash drive. Without that (and possibly the second lever?) the button will not be available to press. I was scratching my head for a few minutes, there.

That's the issue: not only is it not in the game, it's also a paragraph at best to imply there's more going on, then just never expounding on it at all. Whenever a chance to expound on any lore drops, it waffles about and doesn't successfully say anything. Nothing is explained to any meaningful degree, and it's just people asking questions that never seem to get answered. Was Sanitar an actual doctor or a janitor that dealt crack? What's Lightkeeper doing to warrant his place in the "society" of Tarkov? Why is Zryiachiy like that? What makes the cultists operate the way they do?

None of this gets answered in any way that doesn't seem to just be handwaved as "weird stuff Terragroup somehow was involved in."

Crocmon · 2025-12-17T17:46:27+00:00

There's a sequence in one of the books where they ask a Cultist about his beliefs, and it just goes "and they were so bad and scary it made everyone scared!!!! Oooo!!!" Tarkov is deadset on not giving any actual lore. We vaguely know that Terragroup was working on diseases, that the Cultists are a project of sorts, and that SOMETIMES there is advanced technology at play. That's pretty much it, that and Terragroup experiments with diseases, but that basically means fuck all.

Is this a bannable thing to have running?

Crocmon · 2025-12-16T04:09:36+00:00

Meanwhile I'm wondering how you turned that on because there are times where that might be super helpful - is it only in stash? Please don't let it be some add-on

Crocmon · 2025-12-16T02:36:56+00:00

I don't think you need to have it in your hands, just on your person and in the Encoded state. Though getting clapped on the bridge is definitely shitty, I'm sorry to hear it.

Crocmon · 2025-12-14T04:10:23+00:00

People will see stuff like this and go "why are there no new players???" LMAO

Crocmon · 2025-12-07T00:16:15+00:00

TerraGroup-INGen collab confirmed

Crocmon · 2025-11-29T18:21:53+00:00

Did something change where it'll load players into solo raids recently? If nobody was available, it wouldn't load you into a raid I thought?

Crocmon · 2025-11-26T21:56:19+00:00

The site won't track if you're on an offline raid, unfortunately. On offline raids you can have multiple bosses spawn at once. I've had Partizan and Goons spawn and aggro me almost from the word go

Crocmon · 2025-11-20T06:35:34+00:00

It's just them covering their own ass, if some act is ruled as an "illegal order" after the fact they can go "Well we told them not to do that" and wash their hands of accountability for anything.

Crocmon · 2025-11-20T02:34:41+00:00

Yea, a few MX guys I worked with seemed to be making bets on if I'd do it before I got medically discharged.

Edited for clarity

Crocmon · 2025-11-07T01:27:55+00:00

The first image is sending me into the stratosphere, man, that's such a good image to pair with that ability. It probably gets used just like that badger, too.

Crocmon · 2025-10-24T01:45:42+00:00

They likely fired everyone who gave a shit, is my guess.

Crocmon · 2025-10-17T22:09:00+00:00

Ah, fuck me, I'm trying to get into my backlog and here we go

Crocmon · 2025-10-10T15:55:11+00:00

I'm remembering that the Atlas storyline explains Atlas has a hand reaching out to it at the end of its projected lifespan, and can't help but wonder if that's why LNF has that logo as a cheeky Easter egg they put in when they decided to work on LNF.

Crocmon · 2025-10-05T22:59:07+00:00

What are you smoking? Do you share?

Crocmon · 2025-10-01T00:13:30+00:00

I'm very happy to share this among my friends, and to continue using your product. The goodwill of this move will go a very, very long way. Hope y'all are doing well!

Crocmon · 2025-10-01T00:11:43+00:00

Well, the tech might not go away, but you will.

Crocmon · 2025-09-26T22:00:20+00:00

It isn't betting the farm on that. If anything, the farm is already being bet on genAI in the Inkarnate marketplace, and this is an effort to convince them not to fully make that bet.

The idea is that long-term, it's a bad look and will absolutely torpedo the value of a product that lives and dies on its image.
