BLIND STALKER #2
Added 2023-07-25 14:10:20 +0000 UTCHey kids,
Continuing with STALKER because I would like to have a somewhat consistent release schedule for the series. You know, until October, when I have to do spooky games. The end of this video might qualify as horror but in the way that's adorable because they're trying but it's also awkward and jank.
Also, I've attempted to use Patreon's new video hosting feature to make it so that you can see it here directly instead of YouTube. If this doesn't work, I have a YouTube upload ready to go. We'll see. Let me know in the comments.
EDIT: Fuck it, here's the YT link, because people are having some buffering issues:

I had a lot more fun with this episode than the last and not just because I was crouching more and didn't constantly run out of stamina. Everything that happened was new to me and I was actually enjoying it. You know, except the times the game was killing me by what seemed like random chance, but even then I knew those deaths would, at the very least, be funny to watch.
Love y'all,
-Civvie

An even newer Patreon discord invite link!
Patron discord link:
If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.
Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload.

The intro to this series SLAPS!

punktum
2023-08-01 01:22:01 +0000 UTCIf it makes it any less confusing with where the videos are uploaded, my main YT account rocks my original handle.

2023-07-27 04:16:44 +0000 UTCYou aren't far off. Another one of the youtubers I watch reviewed it, and it is as confusing as you think it is. It doesn't get any better. Its like Deus Ex on LSD
Dream0fSkye
2023-07-27 02:00:56 +0000 UTCagree with drrockso20, it's full of little moments in the dialogue you'd get a kick out of, and plenty of weird mechanics that'll make you cross-eyed. basically all of which can be completely disregarded without consequence. mandy said it right when he described it as "a total conversion mod that took on a life of its own."

Burning Fish
2023-07-26 21:46:18 +0000 UTClol I tried that game for an hour once and it gave me the same kind of confusion as Cruelty Squad did.
Civvie
2023-07-26 21:27:20 +0000 UTCalso had another idle thought, would be fun to see you try and tackle E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy some day, see how you handle some Franco-Jank compared to the more standard Slav-Jank
drrockso20
2023-07-26 08:53:19 +0000 UTCThis is the part of the game where you meet the cultists. Tldr fuck monolith and his stupid cyber Para military group.

2023-07-26 07:48:06 +0000 UTCThe intro animation and that music are just so damn slick
Flakbait
2023-07-26 04:17:51 +0000 UTClove the CHUD reference, you are a man of good taste in cheesy 80 horror movies(come to think about it CHUD would be one of those movies perfect to get licensed for an FPS, something in the vein of Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor I imagine)

2023-07-25 21:03:12 +0000 UTCAh, looks like Patreon shoved an extra "v" into the link for some reason. The magic of the modern internet.

2023-07-25 20:51:40 +0000 UTCTry copying and pasting the link in your browser. The invite works, it's just that discord sucks.
Civvie
2023-07-25 20:49:50 +0000 UTCWoo, more Stalker! Good stuff, Civvie. Any chance for a new Discord link? The one in the post already expired.
ShinkazeVT
2023-07-25 20:46:40 +0000 UTCHell yeah! Glad to see you're enjoying the game! It's one of my favorites (at least, the series is. the later games have a few improvements and fixes to SoC)
PsychicGoldfish
2023-07-25 19:28:41 +0000 UTCOhhhh so THIS is the piece of entertainment media about nuclear scientists that everybody is talking about! No issues here. I watched on desktop with headphones. Thanks Civvie.

JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER
2023-07-25 18:22:49 +0000 UTCI was hoping Patreon's player would be better, but I guess it's still in early stages. YouTube link stays.
Civvie
2023-07-25 18:03:10 +0000 UTCStalker actually becomes playable once you find a moderately useful gun
Axiomatic
2023-07-25 17:39:51 +0000 UTCHey man just throwing my 2 cents in about the video, I usually stream YouTube to my TV. I can still watch the video on my phone obviously but a choice would be great, either way thanks for the content!

2023-07-25 17:17:18 +0000 UTCIโm afraid to pull your finger
Civvie
2023-07-25 17:15:54 +0000 UTCWorks good here on Patreon for myself. Civvie if you're reading this pull my finger

2023-07-25 17:13:02 +0000 UTCAnything that even minutely puts up a fight against the YouTube monolith is good
Nomp
2023-07-25 16:44:01 +0000 UTCFair. They don't seem to have the tech solid yet.
INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!
2023-07-25 16:37:34 +0000 UTCI've been getting a couple of complaints about this and in the future I think I'll exclusively use YouTube again. Not sure exactly how Patreon's video hosting works but I was hoping it would be a little kinder with the bitrate than this,.
Civvie
2023-07-25 16:29:29 +0000 UTCThe captions are usually auto-gen for the patreon release, yeah. I have a person who does the English and French subs for each video and usually they use the time between patreon and public uploads to nail the subs and timing down. EDIT: I only just realized you were talking about PATREON captions, which I didn't even know were a thing. That's nice too.
Civvie
2023-07-25 16:28:33 +0000 UTCIt keeps stopping to buffer every few seconds on my phone... might be safer to stick to YouTube. They may shafter folks with their algorithm, but at least they don't stutter-stop you every 3 seconds.
INSANITORIUM STUDIOS!
2023-07-25 16:28:26 +0000 UTCI like the viewing in Patreon! Would certainly be nice to have the option to use either, seeing as some users did not have a consistent experience. Also, I noticed the captions look mostly fleshed out (save for a "Thanks for watching!" and a "See you next time. Bye" persisting for the first minute or so). Usually it's auto-captions for the Patreon release and then cleaned up for the public release. As always, great video! Your commentary delivery is one-of-a-kind.

2023-07-25 16:15:51 +0000 UTCthe Patreon video worked for me up to the point of getting the story from the barkeep and then it froze on that dialog overlay while the audio continued

2023-07-25 15:47:29 +0000 UTCThe discord link didn't expire, discord just hates me and it's userbase. I made that link today for this post.
Civvie
2023-07-25 15:41:34 +0000 UTCGreat video as always though Patreon video kept buffering and discord link expired
Ryan Kaspy
2023-07-25 15:40:15 +0000 UTCYup, video working here. Patreon one, in the browser.
Beard McGowan
2023-07-25 15:30:32 +0000 UTCPatreon worked fine for me, minus taking a wee bit of finagling to get the player controls to disappear in fullscreen. Also, dang, this is making the Fallout itch act up again.

2023-07-25 14:42:16 +0000 UTCGod I can feel your pain at the end of the video. Peak STALKER experience.
BT
2023-07-25 14:41:31 +0000 UTCSo glad you brought the series format back, love it. Honestly wasn't anticipating the "bro" you got from that npc lol I might have to play this game myself after I get through the 80 other games I've started thanks to you, Civvie.

2023-07-25 14:39:20 +0000 UTCGreat episode, keep em coming CV!

2023-07-25 14:38:52 +0000 UTCThat's fair, I usually watch my YouTube on a TV too. Kinda glad I uploaded a version to YT as a backup.
Civvie
2023-07-25 14:36:11 +0000 UTCWorks but looks quite a bit crisper on YT for me. Convenience wise, I prefer YouTube because of cross-compatibility with other devices. I usually click the link you provided and then have it in my watch history on those other devices (Switch/Deck, FireTV) where I then actually watch the video, like a true couch-potato.

2023-07-25 14:17:40 +0000 UTCVideo is working for me in the Patreon app. *edit* actually some stuttering and buffering with the Patreon player. Much smoother on YT. Also, a C.H.U.D joke!

2023-07-25 14:15:18 +0000 UTCNot to be a stick in the mud, but could you post the YT regardless? Means I can stream it to my TV, instead of being locked on my phone~

2023-07-25 14:14:33 +0000 UTCHmm, did you upload to youtube aswell? The patreon video player is having issues for me
