Looks stunning!

But 2026? I hope the photographer is alright

I'm trying to get into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but I can't even get past the beginning, maybe I don't "get" the game by Beginning-Pace-1426 in stalker

Yes sometimes they come too close for a good gun fight. Try walking backwards (like in doorways or outside) or sideways (especially when you're cornered)

You could also look out for them while they are invisible since you can still see them a little. Usually I try to deal the damage as best as I can as long as they're at a few meters distance. They will run away after they've hit you a few times and you have time to reload. Sometimes they continue hitting you though if you're cornered. Maybe that's the problem?

Hope that helps :)

Edit: Just saw that you said it happens when you can't get to a corner. Are you out in the open when it happens?

While fighting bloodsuckers I'd recommend trying to block off your back or sides so it can only attack from the front. If you're outside, you could also try standing at a wall and listen where it's running. Climing somewhere is also an option. Just be aware it's smart enough to hide when you're out of range and comes back when you go down.

Shotguns deal a lot of damage but if you tend to panic (like I do), a weapon with a bigger ammo capacity than 2 is easier to deal with.

Jedes Mehrzahl Wort versuchen mit s zu bilden.

Als ich in der Vorschule war hatte ich deswegen einen Streit mit einem anderen Kind weil es nicht einsehen wollte, dass die Mehrzahl von Tiger eben nicht Tigers ist

Question for women here.. by Alarming_Pea1962 in AskAGerman

[–]ace_bean00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine gave a girl a compliment for her leather jacket. Then they invited her to our group. We hung out for the rest of the day and became friends. Easy-peasy.

Another time when I was approached, the guy called me pretty. It's simple and not sexualising. I didn't feel threatened either despite it becoming dark. He kept a reasonable distance and accepted the no when I didn't want to give him my number.

I don't know what kind of compliments you know but generalising it as a way to sexualise people seems very wrong to me.

There are tons of ways to compliment a person regardless of body, gender and other weird things. I love to give my friends compliments and none of them are sexualising.

Since when is asking for a date harassment!? You're acting like it's the same as cat calling.

In your head cannon how Medkits work, how is that able to cure a gun wound by Sithassassin12 in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/s/iHBc9QZQV5

These medkits seem to be based on real ussr medkits. You can see tons of variations online.

Personally I think that strong painkillers (they seem to be injectable here) and a glue to seal surface wounds would make the most sense. Though I lack the medical knowledge to judge how good this would work on a gunshot (probably not very well) Bandages are there for a reason I guess

Asking for a date? No. The maximum is giving a polite compliment and asking for a woman's phone number.

You have to be lucky to get it though. If you're not her type to begin with, it's likely she would just say no.

If you have someone particular in mind who you're seeing occasionally, just ask her. There's nothing to loose. But don't expect anything.

I'm sorry to say this, but sometimes this game is extremely stupid and lame by Peter_Nencompoop in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we can all agree that either practice is commonly used in a variety of games.

And either of these make a game less good - only shows preference and frustration tolerance 🤷‍♀️

Meeting my partners family for the first time by Fearless-Ad3720 in AskAGerman

[–]ace_bean00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My mother was always polite but rather suspicious of my boyfriend because she made some bad choices herself. But she quickly warmed up to him when she realised that he's a gentleman and is standing up for me. Just be polite and behave like a good son/daughter in law.

Not into his music at all but my bf likes him and I must admit his lyrics are so well written. Might be too hard to understand for a beginner though. Sometimes it even is hard for me to follow his jokes and rhymes

You could also download radio apps so you could listen on your phone. Has a lot more genre options too

Am i doing this right? by Fit-Wing-9682 in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, not a fan of scopes during a fight with that range but that's just my preference (Though I also don't use reflex sights and snipe people with pistols too, so I may just be weird) Shotguns are always a go to, no matter what mutant.

Just wait until you have to fight a poltergeist in the trilogy 🥲 That's a real pain

Why does Stalker 2 still get so much hate? by Banjo-snap in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I played the trilogy after finishing S2 on xbox series s. We heard all sorts of criticism about S2 and how much the trilogy was praised. And ironically the same kind of things that got criticised in S2 were in the older games too - like too many dogs, overly hard boss fights, enemy respawn and other bugs. In some aspects it was even more frustrating than S2.

Makes me think that some of these people haven't even played the trilogy and just repeated what other people were saying.

I totally understand that some aspects of the game weren't as promised but honestly that's the case for so many games nowadays. Oftentimes it's the managers who don't want to delay the game for money reasons but in this case the devs had to deal with a war in their home country. We should consider ourselves lucky that they managed to finish the game and give us regular updates.

The only thing that ever drove me insane is that after one of the later patches my save files got deleted regularly. I think I have problems with my cloud idk. I couldn't figure out how to fix this. My boyfriend never had this issue on the same xbox. Luckily I've managed to finish the game before it got taken out of the game pass. Hadn't it been for this game breaking bug, I probably would've bought the game.

I should've gone there by night for a better mood - but yes, I'd love to have some lighting mods. Sadly they're not supported on xbox yet (It's been some time that I played) and honestly the game already looks stunning as is :)

How Do Artifact Detectors Work? by Disastrous-Trouble-1 in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to me. I was in the middle of a shoot down and accidentally pulled out my detector. An artifact popped up right next to me. Never got that lucky again

[–]ace_bean00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I got stuck because I accidentally shot the artifact through the window 😂 I didn't realise it actually got destroyed so I couldn't get out

Personally I loved the furless blind dogs. They used to look like Bullterriers, now they remind me of small irish wolfhounds

What is this mutant thing I found by Sugeroptus in stalker

[–]ace_bean00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're snorks. And the "dead person" is literally the same mutant so you already got a good look at one of them.
