Radiation is the utlimate horror. The Half-Life games don't have any kind of rad-poisioning, falling into waste just gives you a short damage over time. It's barely a mechanic, but just adding a geiger counter sound effect makes it feel like another enemy. The threat is enough. 'Roadside Picnic' and the film adaptation don't mention it once because to the characters it's something they will never understand, like it's a higher being. There's a ton of disinfomation and paranoia around Nuclear Power when actually it's a thousand times better than coal and oil. But I kinda get it. There's a vault where nuclear waste has been sealed in, and architects spent years working out how to make it obvious that the vault should never be opened - because the radioactivity will last longer than civilisation. Humans will either be dead or unrecognisable by the time it's safe. The thought that our society relies on such a power is insane. And that's before you remember The Bombs...
To me there's something so incredible scary to fight radiation. The fact that you may feel well, then sickj, then well again. And perhaps you'll live, but you'll wish you'd be dead. I think Chernobyl series from HBO portrayed the radiation so perfectly scary and this part of the divers was nightmare fuel
@@chegnarok interesting part is, in sum, the USA had more nuclear disasters from INES scale 4-5/6 Soviet Union just had the biggest ones like Chernobyl and Kyshtym disaster
Something that I did read from the contact with family and outside world is not just the bit of humanization, but also a reason for why these people volounteered to go down into that radiation filled hell besides the hope to save their country and the world. Hope for some approval from a family member who maybe concidered them a coward or a useless dunce, hope that besides saving the world and country your action will save the life of your significant other, or in the darker side: you have nothing else to return to in life, all familly passed away so a suicide mission to stop a power plant from exploding is not as a scary prospect, and if you die you will at least do a good deed. I am not saying this as some form of depression injection, but to point out that besides the "for all mankind" there are far more deeply personal mission why you would agree to march into a certain death

So what I learnt from signalis and this game is that as quote from a redditor: “ commies suck at boiling water”
usa had a couple of nuclear disasters too, not as big, but still. And lets not forget japan.

absolutely butchered the pronounciation of the names of the 3 liquidators 10/10
A British white man mispronouncing foreign names? Many such cases!
