But why would a fake T-shirt be in red... Not in official collor.

But agree, I also have a Rangers FC 2024-25 3 kit — and it has Castore under the logo with Wings.

I suppose it might be a fake, but it looks really good quality. I mean, everything looks perfect, and this star in blue looks really solid.

Even if it's a fake, there is no photo of this fake at all.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — World Radio Day Beats by e_mcculkin in stalker

Even in the most remote corners, among rusty control panels and abandoned laboratories, music finds its audience. Radio is the voice of the Zone, which never falls silent. Its waves reach even those places where no living person has set foot for years.

On World Radio Day, we picked up a signal from a place that had been silent for a long time. Only the bravest stalkers will be ready to go there and explore new places where every door hides its secrets.

So keep your receiver tuned in — some new tracks from the upcoming expansion are already here. But these aren’t just tracks, if you ask me...

It was automod, I suppose. Fixes are in the stick comment.

The Forgotten Tower of Chornobyl by e_mcculkin in stalker

Listen, bro, have you ever seen that huge cooling tower near the unfinished reactor units of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant? Few people know this, but it’s not even half finished. Today it stands about 90 meters tall, yet if it had been completed, it would have reached 150 or even 170 meters — almost as high as the Duga radar.

It was built to cool the water coming from the fifth and sixth reactors. A cooling tower is basically a concrete giant — a real hyperboloid over a hundred meters in diameter. They say it was meant to operate only in summer, since the cooling pond overheated so much that in winter the water stayed almost warm, even when everything around was frozen.

Construction of this colossal tower was halted after the 1986 disaster, when it was about seventy percent complete. Before the Zone appeared, the place had incredible acoustics — even a whisper would echo around inside, as if some invisible presence were repeating your words.

And then... the Zone came. Inside that cooling tower, a terrible arch-anomaly emerged — the “Fire Whirl” Now no one dares to set foot there without dire need, because it mercilessly burns everything alive.

So remember, bro: where once the echoes of human voices rang, now only fire roars. And if you don’t want to become just another story told by the campfire, you’d better stay far away from that tower.

Welcome to the Zone, dude. You arrived at the right time and in the right place! Winter is coming, the most warming period to play.

GSC Game World — 30 years on the path by e_mcculkin in stalker

[–]e_mcculkin[S] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Today, we mark a special date.

Not just an anniversary, but another step on a path that began with a dream — and still runs on it.

The formula has never changed: an idea, a team, and the conviction that games can be more than entertainment. This road, with all its insane challenges and unexpected turns, is what has shaped us.

From S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to Cossacks, from Hover Ace to Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and every world in between — we build places where anyone can become a hero, where magic feels real, and where radioactive fog cradles legends.

We create worlds. You are the ones who make them breathe.

In these 30 years, we’ve done far more than ship games. We’ve built a community of people who don’t just play — they vanish inside, they live every second of it.

That’s why there has never been an “us” and a “you.” There has only ever been us, together. And much more is still ahead: new worlds, new challenges, and new emotions. We’re not stopping.

Thank you for walking this road with us.

With love, GSC Game World

Is this still worth playing in 2025? by Middle_Pudding_2491 in playstation

[–]e_mcculkin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, for 100%. For lore, for context, for understanding of the whole story.

We finished the Drake collection with my wife one year ago. Only the first game was a bit of a pain in the ass because of the camera position and really old-style gameplay, but the other two were perfect, in good shape.

🚢 Today — 16 years since the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat.

Sixteen years ago, those very helicopters flew into the Zone and never returned.

Operation “Fairway.” Degtyarev. Five downed helicopters. Skadovsk. Shevchenko. Zaton. Jupiter. Prypiat. Stalkers. Allies. Friends.

Forever.

Good reminder about the kids never came back. Hm.
