Last week I wrote about a particular bug in Stalker 2 and how similar it was to a bug I encountered in Stalker: Call of Pripyat way back in 2010. I wasn't mad about it: it gave me a warm fuzzy "some things never change" feeling you might have for a quirky old car whose radio volume goes up when you turn on the headlights. Weird, but harmless.
In the same article I also wrote about how that harmless jank can easily give way to immensely frustrating jank, like another bug I encountered: An artifact I was on a mission to collect never materialized, eventually forcing me load a save from much earlier in the game, which cost me an hour of progress. Nothing warm and fuzzy about that.
