Dreaming of a Post-Apocalypse ┃ Why Stalker, Tarkov & Into The Radius are so Compelling

[@bennettleffewww]

This is why I like Eastern European horror. It doesn’t give the feeling of impeding doom or a sense of importance to the story’s protagonist. It promises the experience of a never ending bleakness that humans have carved a way into.

[@TheONLYFeli0]

Have you ever played Pathologic 2?

[@karlthomson9245]

This is an exquisite thought.

[@AllisterCaine]

I've called it "postsoviet radiation/cosmic horror" it is distinct yet related to lovecraftian horror. You don't see the danger most of the time, but you can always sense it. But still I couldn't stop going deeper, my curiosity was always stronger than any fear or anxiety. That's what made stalker so special. Because everybody has a wish deep, deep inside... And that's why we go against all odds.

[@NM-wd7kx]

​@@AllisterCaineLovecraft was fucking terrified of everything in such a deep & all pervading way that it acts as brick & mortar in his writing. Given the motto of Slavic history is 'and then it got worse' the idea seems to fit.

[@krieger8825]

You're going to die, it matters not how but when, cuz good body armour is too damn expensive

[@blue_kit_red]

Describing DayZ players as wild, untamed, and unpleasant due to the nature of the game is so spot on. I remember the last time I played, my friend found a group that was eating corpses of other players and since they needed bodies to overwhelm people we joined. We trekked across the landscape in search of our next meal, beating everyone to death, before devouring them. We ate our own fallen, and filled our pockets with flesh. We became a horde of intelligent zombies capable of strategizing. One of the best experiences I had, never found another group like it.

[@celanvaril6200]

Nah when u put it like that it sounds so terrifying lol

[@ASatanW]

It's like an idea for a book

[@Loy_Otterton]

I bumped into a random player on the new map the first time I played it and we ended up hunting down fellow freshies to eat them. One guy was chilling by a fire in a house, so he walked up acting friendly and as soon as my buddy started attacking I blocked the sole door way with my body and blocked him from running. It all felt a little too real tbh, crazy times

[@The_Cosmic_Navigator]

I remember a quote about smoking in the zone..."If I was concerned about my health I don't think I would have come to a irradiated hellhole."

[@mogo-wc7xw]

besides, the magic anti-smoking artifacts will magically cure your lung cancer

[@jarvy251]

"It's a vibe" is the best way to put it. My favourite thing to do to relax is hop on Tarkov and go on tranquil walks in Woods with a friend. Not a lot of action, but that's the point. It's like a discord voice call but occasionally broken by intense bursts of violence. When we do punch someone's ticket and secure the area, the conversation turns into something you'd probably actually hear people say as they casually pick over the belongings of their victims. "What the shit, my guy has enough cigs in his pack to put mechanic in the ground." "Check out homeboy's AK, there's like 5 flashlights on it" "All that razzle-dazzle didn't help him see me. Hey, your dude got any food on him?" For a game known for being brutal and unforgiving, it really is funny how comfortable you can make it.

[@georgerice6488]

That scene where the mc is spying on the evil henchmen after the kill a side character (it's a canon event)

[@xeviusUsagi]

"It's like a discord voice call but occasionally broken by intense bursts of violence" Yeah, it reminds me of walking around my city during a pub night

[@Veri7a]

Will to Live Online is another one you may like. I started with that and then found Tarkov. I knew I was in familiar territory when I found Tushonka and Mosins. LOL.

[@IlQSTO]

True

[@mightyheadge9511]

My attraction to Stalker Gamma in particular is the feeling of not being the main character. I despise being the one to save the world time and time again, but the feeling of being just another Stalker in the zone is kind of soothing despite the dangers that lurk around every corner.

[@ABSolution2468]

Every time the PDA updates a kill or a stalker finding an artifact, I am reminded that the world of STALKER is so much bigger than any stalker. Your accomplishment is one of many, and any could be yours. Every life as every faction is just as canon as the other.

[@minhducnguyen9276]

It's even better when you remember that most stalkers are there because they wanted to be there. In order to get into the Zone you either get a license like the scientists at ecologist camp or the military or you smuggle yourself in. My stalker being an ecologist is probably some student freshed out of the university hearing the promise of scientific advancements and fame and signed up for this. Now he's wandering the Zone facing horrors far beyond what he imagined before getting into there. But it doesn't mean there's no artifact or discovery to be made. The Zone giveth and the Zone taketh, it goes both ways.

Outside of the masterclass editing, cinematography, and scripting, at its core your videos are passionate about the topics they cover I’m hard pressed to find any other creator that could craft a video that treats the source material with such reverence, but at the same time it also feel like a good friend telling you about their favorite games THEN combine that with the overreaching theme of the apocalypse we have here and damn this video is going to make me install Tarkov Excellent project Timmm, I’m gonna watch this again and I hope everyone else does too

[@CosmicSphincter]

Into the Radius is one of the few VR games that is actually a game - not a roller coaster, but an actual game. It’s got some flaws, but what it’s good at it so good that it really makes you want more of it. I really hope CM can be successful at making a sequel.

I clicked on this video expecting another half-baked video essay. But what I really clicked on was a storytelling masterpiece.

[@shofer1703]

And more climate change propaganda BS

[@vanceifer1543]

I personally remember "into the radius" being the first vr game that I would actively stay on for long enough to get headaches and yet I would still stay on because it was so good.

[@theonemoo]

Your words at the end about feeling human, dreaming of simplicity in a battered world, and that juxtaposition against normal society hit hard. I had very similar feelings after coming home from Afghanistan and wasn't quite sure how to put it until now

[@davidchandler5432]

Really nice video! I can confirm that smoking in Into the Radius recovers stamina if you're hungry (turns the yellow hunger bar back into the blue stamina bar), but each individual cig only does a little which is why you might not've noticed it. It's like each cig equals a little bite of food. However, if you smoke semi-regularly, you'll often find you don't need to eat at all while on an expedition into the Radius. To cover my hunger requirement I only bring a pack of cigs with me on my runs, and at most I'll eat in the mornings after a sleep (if I sleep). I agree it's mostly just "nice" to smoke in Into the Radius though, and the impact isn't super huge-- it just feels right, in the game. You used to be able to chain smoke and endlessly sprint at the same time, that was a funny result of the cigs helping recover stamina, but that was fixed a while back.

[@raptorjesus6914]

There has never been a video that speaks to me so damn well. I've said this to my friends and family before; that sometimes I think that if the world went into the post-apocalypse era, I'd be more happier. Not because I want the world to end, or not that I'd definitely miss having internet and my computer, but instead that it's simplicity at its finest. Social media, profit margins, scraping up a job resume, detailing cover letters for the best candidacy, and spending the few hours I have playing games would all be gone. Life is simpler than anyone ever makes it to be, but we feel compelled to care about things that don't really matter because everyone else around us do. Sure, these worlds are harsh and definitely not for the faint of heart to survive in, but they give you peace of mind in a sense. The ability to just sit somewhere and strum a guitar in the radius, or sit in a house during an emission. And with the world going to hell more and more every single day, I am slightly upset that I will be the one to live IN the hell-razing apocalypse, instead of the peaceful hostility in its post-era. If an apocalypse ever did happen, I hope the world turns out more like Stalker than Fallout. In one, humans still have a soul, and the other is filled with the same things that destroyed us in the first place.

[@tripleglostercheese]

There's definitely something to be said about that feeling of "Man, I just want to be in the 'Zone again" that other game environments have never quite captured

I remember when i was a kid, and booted up STALKER for the first time. When i left Sidorovich Bunker and first laid eyes on Cordon. Jesus, it had an impact. As if something had clicked in my mind. I was about 12 years old at the time, you see. And i spent years trying to to put what i felt there out. Trough photography, writing, and drawing. The feeling of loss this game gave me, has changed me. Sometimes, i am transporte back to it. You know ? On cold nights or early foggy mornings. when i am out on the field.

You earned a sub, stalker. One detail I like seeing in STALKER and games like it, has alot to do with your identity bit at the end.

[@dragonfluf]

The last few years have really upped the appeal of the post-apocalypse for me. Widespread systematic failure on every level of governance makes me dream of seeing it all burn down, leaving only the parts of humanity worth remembering. Death is constant in these brutal settings, but despite that or maybe even because of that, the characters that remain live brighter than I every will. People often project primal brutality into these settings, but there's a lot more primal humanity in playing music around a campfire than there is in killing one another.

It took quite some time to get the fire started after gathering the material for a small campfire because it had rained a few hours earlier. But the feeling after I had succeeded and then lit my cigar was just great. My hands may have been completely covered in dirt and I accidentally charred the tip of the cigar but I felt like I had accomplished something. Only such moments provide me with a true feeling of success. Everything else feels like a cope. It was during this moment that I realized that the Unabomber was right.

I love Stalker's atmosphere the most because it's not completely ruined like in so much of America's post-apocalypse porn. The Zone is... weirdly enough, untouched.

Something makes money feel like a ball and chain.
