im getting better at stalker and its making me nervous!
dont think ive forgotten about my nature photography though. look how exhausted those dogs are, its a hard life in the zone
i forgot to update right after i played last time so i just wanna list off some quick highlights
ive been getting more stash locations off of bodies and friends, so ive been retracing my steps a lot back to areas that scared me so bad the first time i went. like this is the area where i had to fight so many goddamn bandits with my stupid pea shooter but now i have some special AK AND a gun with a scope AND silencers AND a stalker suit AND a better grasp of the claw controls and i fucking snuck around the perimeter picking people off until they figured out where i was so i threw a grenade and then ran to the other side of the bandit camp and just mericilessly shotgunned/knifed the rest of them. at first i thought the hanging skeleton was a message for me, but its really a message for them
before this last session every gunfight id get into id be filled full of bullets, lamenting how inobservant i was of a guy who should have been obvious to see, but now… now nothing can touch me
well unless its a fucking LAB BASE FULL OF MILITARY MEN. those fucking corner bastards in the tower CONSTANTLY spotting me before i could pick them off (this is pre scope toilet. im toilet). and like the little packs of idiot bastards were SHIT TALKING ME NON STOP WHILE THEY WERE COMING FOR ME. AND ITS LIKE FUCK YOU??? IM ONE PERSON IN A JUMPSUIT YOU ARE THE FUCKING MILITARY MAYBE BE A LITTLE LESS COCKSURE SINCE YOU’RE ABOUT TO FUCKING DIE ANYWAY
there was a SIREN GOING OFF CONSTANTLY thats loop isnt quite fucking clean so theres a little break between siren wails which IS KINDA WORSE THAN THE SIREN ITSELF. so i was really proud when i made my way up to the roof and whacked the fucking bell and shut it the hell up. this may have been the most satisfying moment in the game after making it to the bar and finally being able to sell all my shit that i found
so ive met the duty guys, made it to the bar and the games kinda open now. i got all these sidequests (that veronica gave me a mod for so they dont expire in two days, i can do them whenever), so im cleaning out my quest log a bit, but next time i play im gonna tackle some more of the main story. first though i NEED MORE BULLETS!
some say the true anomaly was the pac man metal siding the whole time…
