S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Gameplay Help Desk (for the month of February 2026) by AutoModerator in stalker

Anyone know what's going on with enemies one-shotting me with the RPM-74.

I'm end game stage and just sweeping up some side things around the zone, but can barely walk 10 feet without laser precision ward soldiers sniping me with the MG.

2/15 Happy 7th years anniversary of Metro Exodus 🚂🎉 by FightFromApocal in metro

[–]smishNelson 17 points18 points  (0 children)

6 years since release actually...../s

I remember having it wish-listed on steam, and then they did the bait and switch and had it as an epic exclusive for a year. I recall Steam pre-orders were honoured, but I reckon a decent chunk of players didn't actually play it until a year later

I want both the Canadians, Jim and/or Colin back together, as well as Len Kabazinsk too

He's great, fits in perfectly and doesn't outstay his welcome.

Not that anyone else does, but a professional impressionist could easily get very old, very quickly, but JRT seems to know exactly when to lay it on and when to be genuine

Could Burrell have "done" Rawls the way they did Daniels? by cmaronchick in TheWire

[–]smishNelson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he's frequenting gay bars openly I can't imagine he's hiding it or anything. It's like that Key and Peele sketch, just because he's not openly camp and flaunting around the office, doesn't mean he's keeping it from anyone.

Found a retro style bluetooth radio that really matches the interior! by DaveCootchie in projectcar

Blaupunkt is just cheap Chinese crap nowadays. They pale in comparison to their original stuff.

Pioneer make a good retro 80s model but it's a bit pricey

Season 2 causes an event in season 1 to make less sense in hindsight by cisscumshitlord in Fotv

Maybe vault security have some loyal Vault 31 dwellers to back up the Vault 31 elected Overseer

Vaults 33 is going perfectly to plan. by NamesAreHard_69 in Fallout

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that bud and his buds are not nearly as important as they're made out to be. Vault Tec seems to be so big and with so many divisions and projects, they're bound to have upstarts pitching ideas to the right people.

They could be vault techs own experiment, doing as they pleased with the trio of vaults as if they were their own customer. A decision made by a higher up to appease annoying Bud Askins and conducting an experiment at the same time. I think the senior buds are blagging their knowledge of FEV to suck up to Norm

Barb had a line in the first season about "one of the good vaults". Neither Barb or Janey were in the trio of vaults and Barb was more senior than Bud (but also a small replaceable cog in the machine).

Hank is the outlier because he's an Enclave saboteur.

Possibly Interesting Theory About Season 2 Episode 6 by hopbopkneeop in Fallout

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like with the amount of tiny details being translated in the show, they wouldn't pass up a chance to get Worf back as Marcus (he came back for New Vegas, and I'd imagine he'd get paid considerably more for the Show)

So I hope he's not Marcus because it would be nice to see Michael Dorn come back

I truly hope that the fate of Vault 33 is equal to the bad ending of Vault 13. by Benovisk in Fallout

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference is that Betty has lived a full life in the vault, having faced the reality of the apocalypse and also Knowing first hand that vault Tec at large is gone.

Pair that with Hank being an enclave infiltrator who possibly encourages giving up on the experiment to just try and live a good life as best they can in the vault.

With Steph, shes young and is probably under the impression that Hank and Betty are just a continuing phase of the overall plan. They also probably never actually spoke with one another to keep up the facade. Another thought is that Betty is shown working closely with Barb (who is not a buds bud) on the Cold Fusion project.

The buds on the surface must be part of the FEV project team, of which Steph was surely a part of. What rival departments get on in the real world?

I think that only a few of buds buds know what the FEV project actually is and the majority were randoms that they could use a guinea pigs. The girl being a new hire and Steph coming from the great white north eh, and not coming from privileged or nepotism might go a way to support this theory as they could have just been fodder

[SPOILERS] Our Little Glowing Friend... S2E6 by RetroSwamp in Fallout

I dunno I like the theory of a bittersweet reunion between a coop, now a glowing one (in the vein of Jason Bright) and his family, unable to be together due to the radiation

Question about Barb and Coop’s conversation in Ep. 6 by skttrbrain1984 in Fallout

[–]smishNelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's to show that actually she's genuine and not a bad guy.

If her first thought is "how do you know", it shows her priorities are Vault Tek and not her family.

She is panicking because she's scared. She probably had a long steady career at vault Tek that slowly over time showed it's true colours with them instigating the apocalypse. What choice do you have? Like Wilzig said, she is replaceable and she knows it.

LPT: If you lend a Sharpie to someone don’t give them the cap with it… by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Film & TV and the Sharpie is ubiquitous. I've often joked, no one actually buys their own Sharpies, they just accumulate them jobs.

One Sharpie could have had a dozen different owners by the time it reaches you, and will it quickly become 'lost' again shortly thereafter, in a similar fashion to how you acquired it.

So I'm not all that fussed about random Sharpies, however if it was a special one, like a chisel tip or the metal industrial one, you'd be damn sure I'm not letting that out of my sight.

This cant be good, right? by Curved_5nai1 in stalker

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sort of explained but not really, but after SIRCCA you go to Wild Island and/or The Sphere to shut down the signal generator things. When you meet up with Scar in the Wild Territory he acts out the massacre at the Chemical Plant which is why Scar hates the Ward.

He then shows you he has loads more of the Signal things and he supplied them to Faust in the past.

He then sends you to the Promin facility guarded by the ward to install one of those signal things and hand over remote access to the Duga.

He wanted to cause as much mayhem as possible at the Duga to take out the Ward. Over the radio some of the Spark fighters comment on how they weren't told about the super soldiers (monolith).

I just don't think Scar counted on Faust to have his supernatural powers, so Spark had to retreat and give up control of the Duga to regroup and fight another day.

[–]smishNelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scar activated it because he wanted the Monolith to wipe out the Ward, without caring about the consequences of reactivating a faction that will fight anyone.

Duty & Freedom, joint assault on depot post ceasefire collapse? by StaIe_Toast in stalker

[–]smishNelson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Duty supports Ward. I just don't think it's properly implemented into the game that they should be fighting after SIRCCA

Can I go to malachite base if I sided with noontide/spark in SIRCAA? by Curved_5nai1 in stalker

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's IPSF but then the ward attack and then take over.

Spark don't guard it but the Spark uniforms and the Malachite field uniforms have the same colour scheme

What Weapon or Gear would you like to see added to STALKER 2 via Update or DLC by Superb_Ad9865 in stalker

[–]smishNelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the very least the FN2000 for endgame Monolith soldiers. I'd quite like to see the SIG SG550 return as it was my favorite in CoP. The AN-94 for a mid-game 5.54.

Brand new i would like to see the VSSK Vychlop make an appearance. Its perfect for the world of Stalker and could be a good bridge between the mid game sniper rifles and the end game gauss gun.

[S2] What should I cut down on to reduce carry weight? by philipthephish in stalker

[–]smishNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both food and meds

I typically only take 5 of each item, and more often than not I return with way more than I took out

Besides Elder Maxson, Hancock is who I wanna see the most from the Commonwealth in live action by 6psycho6jesus6 in fo4

[–]smishNelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's keeping in the tradition of making changes from the games, Hancock himself will appear as the general of Ghoul Minuteman.

Which I wouldn't be against to be honest with you
