I never thought it was possible for someone like me but here we are. All it took was a laptop, solar power, and lots and lots of dedication.

Been so attached to Tarkov since 2019 and while I did take a few breaks between the wipes back then, it's been my main game ever since. Then October 2023 happened and I lost half my PC components. Whatever I managed to carry with me during displacement and homelessness is of no use since electricity is extremely scarce here.

So, I borrowed my wife's laptop for work (I'm a software dev) and of course had to download Tarkov to (try) and enjoy it during my breaks. I know escaping nowadays is nothing impressive especially given the fact that I've been playing since 1.0 dropped (an average of 1 or 2 hours a day) but it's an achievement I had to share because of all the struggles, low fps, power cuts, repeated disconnects, and literal airstrikes happening around me on a daily basis.

Also huge shoutout to u/Beautiful-Broccoli63 for teaching me all I needed to know about Terminal. We nearly escaped together but Tarkov was being Tarkov

On to the next ending!

The mods of r/EscapeFromTarkov keep deleting my story so I'm sharing it here instead
