As someone who loves STALKER GAMMA, watching Sam struggle through this is making me understand the joy of being a sadist. Thank you Sam, I am no longer bound by empathy, and I can take pleasure from your pain. I have ascended
Sam I never used the repair thingy since it was a pain in the ass. I just used shit guns until I could afford a new gun (the cheapest gun, usually a double barrel) and then worked my way up from there. I keep buying new guns and stripping old ones and selling them for parts. My main income is missions. @@GeneralSam

Yea, even stalker anomaly is a game that takes some time to get into. I started with clear sky then CoP, after that I installed a total conversion mod called call of Chernobyl which was the precursor of anomaly, the went to anomaly and to EFP, and I hated EFP, gamma is more for me

Gamma is undeniably one of if not the most atmospheric games of all time. Theres something about going on a long ass mission into the north, killing stuff and scavenging supplies, coming back exhausted and hungry and theres 4 guys sitting around a fire and one of em is playing guitar.
Facts. I couldn't put in more than like 10 hours due to difficulty, inconvenience, and necessary grind but the vibe, loop, and mechanics are all some of the best I've ever experienced in gaming
@@draxthedarkreaper GAMMA is just Anomaly with a butt ton of curated add-ons. Anomaly is the TC (Total Conversion) from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy that stitches all the maps together and adds more survival / crafting / mil sim elements. Both are great IMO.
@@AcherontiaStyxeh no we aren't, pretty much every song Sam played was....exactly the same melody with a slightly changed chorus, the only song that was different was the first one and then only slightly AI music generators will always be.....mediocre compared to someone who can make a unique song, not just copying information and reusing the same song styles over and over again with no real way for growth
@@nicholasbrown668 actually there about to release a whole album of a dead country singer using ai that took all of his songs and made lyrics for new songs with his style with minimum amount of editing
This game is one of those where you have to sit down and read all the headache inducing guides so you can suffer sightly less. And it's still one of the best fps experiences out there.
@@GeneralSam that's exactly what I did, I only played the OG trilogy a little bit so I didn't know what to expect, I basically just lived like a poor person with guns I bought at dollar general until I killed people with higher teir loot.
No need for any guide. Item description is more than enough. And worse case scenario your PDA > Guide > Gamma has all the necessary information. Loading screens as well.
I honestly didn't read any guides and had a blast. Most of the information you need to know is in the PDA guides, otherwise the rest you can figure out by experimentation. It's loads of fun, everyone should try it, and you can adjust the difficulty however you want to make your ideal playthrough
I agree they were pretty funny but its ai. You can go make the same exact thing in a couple minutes. Releasing an AI generated song would be kinda wack.
10:53 - 11:10 made me laugh my ass off! This game can be hilarious sometimes. Also a tip: you can also use your companions as a mobile storage (as long as you never turn your quest in that gets rid of the companion). What i like to do is go through the map and take as many companion quests as I can and have just my own personal army and mobile storage unit following you around. Its honestly so meta when you start massive looting. The repair system is very tedious and complicated. But theres a few guides out there that will help you understand it more, and once you get the hang of it, it becomes smooth like buttter. Its pretty much just swapping good parts on other weapons you find and replacing them with the bad parts on the weapon you want to repair. S+ video!
Playing GAMMA is like playing Dark Souls for the first time. Unfamiliar, extremely difficult, unforgiving. Once you learn it though it just becomes one of your favorite games. You die a bunch of times quit out and then find yourself playing it a few hours later and you get that rush when you do something as simple as build your first gun or find tools. But yes, LESS ACCESIBLE is probably the truest statement ever made about the game. Luckily the GAMMA discord freaking rules and there is always someone there in chat to help you out and help you. They also post crazy screenshots of the game doing what it does best. Insane situations.
Yeah. And you won't shut the fuck up about it. Just like Dark Souls players, your brag about your progress on some meaningless pixels on the screen for internet cred. (I do it too)
I only play gamma on the hardest settings. After hundreds of hours you feel like a legendary stalker, even from the beginning. But that's after I already suffered for hundreds of hours and learned and adapted
Quick Tip to All New Stalkers: Spawn in Cordon as Loner and run south till you find these green men and go up to them and they will give you a free green armor!
You can't have a weapon on you though, or they'll shoot you. Try stashing your weapon with a merchant, they hold onto the stuff you sell them indefinitely and let you buy it back for what you sold it for
Quick tip just for @dougcapler4583, Don't play fortnite, don't play lethal company, don't make really cringe low IQ videos with sex in the title and no views.
Actual tip: Pick mercenary, do local quest from faction leader to clean the home base, buy basic supplies, go north, kill monolith, get great gear and weapons with the help of mercenaries that are usually roaming around or fighting the monolith already, go east and then south to get to Duty base, sit outside their town baiting them out to kill them until they are all dead, use barman to get local quests, use the workbench that is now free, take the guide to the swamps or cordon for main questline/ companion Hip.
@@tosho_2979 if blud is using ai to write jokes then they aren't his jokes. Then I'm watching a video with no real substance. Obviously he's not doing that ya dummy nor is that a good idea
Technically, Fanatic can die. I've seen it happen in my own playthrough. He got ganked by 3 of the 4 hogs in the tutorial quest and that was it. They must have dealt incredible amounts of damage that it bugged his immortality. No more Fanatic and no free 'reward'. That playthrough also became my most successful playthrough, did 70% of the story andddddddddd the game crashed one time and corrupted that save. Will I ever start another playthrough of GAMMA? Probably. Will it ever reach that level of dedication and progress? Probably not. But anyways here are some tips for any newer players reading: - strip parts with high condition (green numbers) and then drop that gun. Can't sell it, why keep it? - food too expensive in the early game? go hunting and cook what you need to survive, store the rest near the Hunter traders. They'll pay you very generously for that meat if they give you a quest for it. - take any and all types of bullets. once you get a gunsmithing kit, disassemble the bullets you dont need. you can always craft new ones later. - always prioritize finding the toolkits. NEVER give them to technicians if you only have one. with one Basic Toolkit, you can make all the repair kits and tools needed to progress until midgame. - keep your loot and sell to specific traders only. Scientists will pay more for mutant parts and artifacts, Hunters will give quests to go fetch certain meats for very handsome rewards, etc. - i dont know if Grok fixed it, but you can hide in bushes and take pot shots at enemies if you are surrounded. It's not frowned upon but it does make the game feel cheesy. only use this during absolute EMERGENCIES. - forget the sirens, once you hear crows in the distance, you hide like a lil beech. if any enemy or friendly stalkers are caught outside in the storm, you get to see them die and wake up as zombies (psy-storm) - make every bullet count in the beginning, don't panic and start spraying everywhere, bullets are expensive. - always remember this in your travels, "South is safe, mostly mutants will try to kill you, maybe one or two bandits will try to rob you. That's all. North is not safe, Monolith will kill you or Red Forest or unmarked radiation hotspots with deadly radiation levels. Always fix mask and suit first, then fix guns. Dead stalkers can't use guns." Good hunting, Stalker.
Sam you gotta start putting the music you use on the description, bro. That shit was too fire for you to keep to yourself. The one starting at 4:40 and all the others please!
For anyone wondering their discord has a full step-by-step tutorial of how to install this (including which software you need to use), also they have a bunch of mods disabled by default like the guns only being 20% durability so it's worth checking the list and adjusting them, but I'd recommend anyone who wants to play stalker 2, to play this, you can play as any faction
@@redacted5736 not just "more," but "WORSE." have you ever been in sam's discord? it's like a rat king made of every rat that's ever lived, all their tails glued together by a mixture of mountain dew, pop tart crumbs, whiskey sugar, weed resin, and cum
a little history lesson here, there is an original nerd, the mod that started all of this is named... Misery The egregious inventory clutter weapons being rusted and fucked to hell PSI mutants having massive hp pools and giant PSI auras that nuke you in seconds Cats being faster than light assasins that give you red bleeds on every attack all Misery
I still listen to the Misery Radio songlist because it kicks ass. Also it made itself into my personal safespace. Running into Skadovsk overloaded while the Emission is starting, high on cocaine and hercules and without a backpack because you dropped everything when two chimeras cornered your loot whore ass. Ah i love it.
Misery is way more tedious in terms of it's mutant balance than any other modpack since. If I recall correctly I looked into the game files and found out Chimeras have like 2k health, and so much health regen that anything that doesn't instakill it (and I don't even know what could instakill a 2k hp chimera) will be useless against one. Might be this was a mistake they later fixed in a patch, but even so the fucking mutant HP pools were absolute dogshit.
@@vanxthenecron3059 Nah. No thanks. That is waaay too hardcore for me. I don't like ironman in games. The new campfire save mod feels like a good in between.
Ive only got a few thousand hours on this game... its def not for everyone.... but it is also not COD. If you go charging in, guns blazing then you will die very quickly. Find me in the zone (Chernobyl Relay Chat Rebirth mod) if you wanna chat or trade Freedom scalps. I can ALWAYS use more freedom parts for the trophy mounts. Names NCG on there. Happy hunting, Stalkers.
@@SerbokratTrue, alot of guys have been playing post MISERY mods for so long that they've forgotten how easy it is to find stuff like ammo and food in the original games
Didn't EFP come before GAMMA? GAMMA is EFP, but more focused on crafting and survival aspects, whereas EFP was more weapons and combat focused. But there's a lot of overlap with both.
Old World is by far the most chad thundercock "mod", because it literally takes anomaly, reverts it back to Vanilla stalker just in a new engine just as a Fuck you to all the hardcore and tacti cool bloated mod packs.
Alot of new people jump straight into gamma without poking around first to learn what it is, gamma is for people who've played stalker for so long they find it easy so they want more CBT, for a beginer the base games or Anomaly is better.
Gamma was literal fucking pain for me. Some of the best gear and I would STILL get stomped by a random fucking dog if I wasnt paying attention. Diet CBT, 10/10

Gamma is undeniably one of if not the most atmospheric games of all time. Theres something about going on a long ass mission into the north, killing stuff and scavenging supplies, coming back exhausted and hungry and theres 4 guys sitting around a fire and one of em is playing guitar.
Facts. I couldn't put in more than like 10 hours due to difficulty, inconvenience, and necessary grind but the vibe, loop, and mechanics are all some of the best I've ever experienced in gaming
You mean stalker?
@@draxthedarkreaper GAMMA is just Anomaly with a butt ton of curated add-ons. Anomaly is the TC (Total Conversion) from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy that stitches all the maps together and adds more survival / crafting / mil sim elements.
Both are great IMO.
You mean fake stalker with fake atmosphere. Have you ever played the original games?

It's kinda wild how popular Gamma has become. It was already insane how it set Moddb's servers on fire, and now we're here.
The only balls smashed harder than a Gamma Player by Gamma are those of ModDb after every gamma video
The music in this is fucking awesome, wish they were actual songs
It's actually insane how good AI music is getting, we're so fucked.
@@AcherontiaStyxeh no we aren't, pretty much every song Sam played was....exactly the same melody with a slightly changed chorus, the only song that was different was the first one and then only slightly
AI music generators will always be.....mediocre compared to someone who can make a unique song, not just copying information and reusing the same song styles over and over again with no real way for growth

This game is one of those where you have to sit down and read all the headache inducing guides so you can suffer sightly less. And it's still one of the best fps experiences out there.
I found a beginners guide to stalker gamma and it was over an hour long.
I ain’t watching that shit lmao I just rawdogged it
@@GeneralSam that's exactly what I did, I only played the OG trilogy a little bit so I didn't know what to expect, I basically just lived like a poor person with guns I bought at dollar general until I killed people with higher teir loot.
No need for any guide. Item description is more than enough. And worse case scenario your PDA > Guide > Gamma has all the necessary information. Loading screens as well.
@@GeneralSam Judging from the title, sounds like you're the one who got raw dogged.
I honestly didn't read any guides and had a blast. Most of the information you need to know is in the PDA guides, otherwise the rest you can figure out by experimentation. It's loads of fun, everyone should try it, and you can adjust the difficulty however you want to make your ideal playthrough
sam for the love of all that is sacred and unholy, release the songs you made as a single that shit slaps
Stalker the album by Receding Hairlines
All AI made so basically just go make it yourself lol
I agree they were pretty funny but its ai. You can go make the same exact thing in a couple minutes. Releasing an AI generated song would be kinda wack.
“It’s AI so make it yourself”
Is the kind of logic that resulted in everyone becoming a “photographer” in the early 2000s
yo that song at 1:40 slaps
Yur
I need the link fr
Ai
true, if anyone got the link
@@megazord5696 pretty sure Sam made it with AI
10:53 - 11:10 made me laugh my ass off! This game can be hilarious sometimes.
Also a tip: you can also use your companions as a mobile storage (as long as you never turn your quest in that gets rid of the companion). What i like to do is go through the map and take as many companion quests as I can and have just my own personal army and mobile storage unit following you around. Its honestly so meta when you start massive looting.
The repair system is very tedious and complicated. But theres a few guides out there that will help you understand it more, and once you get the hang of it, it becomes smooth like buttter. Its pretty much just swapping good parts on other weapons you find and replacing them with the bad parts on the weapon you want to repair.
S+ video!
I need this music in a playlist
The music in this video is 100% AI Generated, Poor Jippy...
Agreed. But also, it kinda slaps and I want it.
I want it too lol

Playing GAMMA is like playing Dark Souls for the first time. Unfamiliar, extremely difficult, unforgiving. Once you learn it though it just becomes one of your favorite games. You die a bunch of times quit out and then find yourself playing it a few hours later and you get that rush when you do something as simple as build your first gun or find tools. But yes, LESS ACCESIBLE is probably the truest statement ever made about the game. Luckily the GAMMA discord freaking rules and there is always someone there in chat to help you out and help you. They also post crazy screenshots of the game doing what it does best. Insane situations.
this guy gets it
Yeah. And you won't shut the fuck up about it. Just like Dark Souls players, your brag about your progress on some meaningless pixels on the screen for internet cred.
(I do it too)
Exactly my experience, I even uninstalled the game before giving it another try
I only play gamma on the hardest settings. After hundreds of hours you feel like a legendary stalker, even from the beginning. But that's after I already suffered for hundreds of hours and learned and adapted
Quick Tip to All New Stalkers: Spawn in Cordon as Loner and run south till you find these green men and go up to them and they will give you a free green armor!
is South the military base? I forget.
@@devynstewart6307yes, yes it is
You can't have a weapon on you though, or they'll shoot you. Try stashing your weapon with a merchant, they hold onto the stuff you sell them indefinitely and let you buy it back for what you sold it for
Quick tip just for @dougcapler4583, Don't play fortnite, don't play lethal company, don't make really cringe low IQ videos with sex in the title and no views.
Actual tip: Pick mercenary, do local quest from faction leader to clean the home base, buy basic supplies, go north, kill monolith, get great gear and weapons with the help of mercenaries that are usually roaming around or fighting the monolith already, go east and then south to get to Duty base, sit outside their town baiting them out to kill them until they are all dead, use barman to get local quests, use the workbench that is now free, take the guide to the swamps or cordon for main questline/ companion Hip.
Holy Moly, General Sam on GAMMA, no fucking way. I hope you'll enjoy the ride.
ITS HIM
Sad to hear AI has put poor Jippy out of a job :(
Is it really ai?
Yeah the AI stuff really takes away from the experience I think. Can't beat real music just yet

STALKER HOLY FUCK

nah he played gamma
big difference

Me: I dont see Aqua anywhere.
fr lettuce isn't here (probably due to the restraining order)
Cause he's good at it. When you finally do see him is when you should be the most afraid.
Please drop that “zone” song on all platforms
Technically, Fanatic can die. I've seen it happen in my own playthrough. He got ganked by 3 of the 4 hogs in the tutorial quest and that was it. They must have dealt incredible amounts of damage that it bugged his immortality. No more Fanatic and no free 'reward'. That playthrough also became my most successful playthrough, did 70% of the story andddddddddd the game crashed one time and corrupted that save. Will I ever start another playthrough of GAMMA? Probably. Will it ever reach that level of dedication and progress? Probably not.
But anyways here are some tips for any newer players reading:
- strip parts with high condition (green numbers) and then drop that gun. Can't sell it, why keep it?
- food too expensive in the early game? go hunting and cook what you need to survive, store the rest near the Hunter traders. They'll pay you very generously for that meat if they give you a quest for it.
- take any and all types of bullets. once you get a gunsmithing kit, disassemble the bullets you dont need. you can always craft new ones later.
- always prioritize finding the toolkits. NEVER give them to technicians if you only have one. with one Basic Toolkit, you can make all the repair kits and tools needed to progress until midgame.
- keep your loot and sell to specific traders only. Scientists will pay more for mutant parts and artifacts, Hunters will give quests to go fetch certain meats for very handsome rewards, etc.
- i dont know if Grok fixed it, but you can hide in bushes and take pot shots at enemies if you are surrounded. It's not frowned upon but it does make the game feel cheesy. only use this during absolute EMERGENCIES.
- forget the sirens, once you hear crows in the distance, you hide like a lil beech. if any enemy or friendly stalkers are caught outside in the storm, you get to see them die and wake up as zombies (psy-storm)
- make every bullet count in the beginning, don't panic and start spraying everywhere, bullets are expensive.
- always remember this in your travels,
"South is safe, mostly mutants will try to kill you, maybe one or two bandits will try to rob you. That's all. North is not safe, Monolith will kill you or Red Forest or unmarked radiation hotspots with deadly radiation levels. Always fix mask and suit first, then fix guns. Dead stalkers can't use guns."
Good hunting, Stalker.
Also don't forget,
- Freedom Bad
- Duty Good
yeah gonna need a full release of that banger
also both stalker songs. lmao
I need a full version of this song at 4:40, it’s got that New Vegas jive
Yes please
SAM PLEASE
you can't he had somebody make it with AI, so let's hope he posts it
I need it!
i beg
The music for the video has been insanely good god damnnnnn
Release the music from this. I need that weed song boss
i hate that the song at 1:30 is stuck in my head
The continued screaming as he zooms out on the map and realizes he's in Scrub-ville is more entertaining to me than it should be.
real
dude is that AI generated music or is there really holly jolly music just for finding zoneweed and suffering as a stalker????
I can't believe I'm giving the rat credit, but I'm pretty sure Sam wrote that shit and put it through that Suno program. The lyrics scream Sam
And if I'm right, he needs to release them honestly. They slap
@@Chordgaille Let him hire someone to sing the damn thing because the lyrics slap and yet the AI Singer sucks ass.
The difficulty of this game is so overrated by the community, it’s honestly not even that hard. (I save scum every second I can)
God tier song. Call that shit the tummy ache ballad or smth
Better title: Blood in my Stool.
we gonna talk about the absolute bangers he dropped in this vid
Sam you gotta start putting the music you use on the description, bro. That shit was too fire for you to keep to yourself. The one starting at 4:40 and all the others please!
Hahahaha calling Grok even nerdier than the Anomaly devs is perfection! Its true though, Grok is a super nerd....but also Grok's the man!
❤
Playing Stalker is like being homeless and fresh out of heroin
deam that song absolutely slaps, i need that on my spotify XD
AI music is Sam’s best friend, the chaos he can instill within his people will be otherworldly.
The music is so good, I was literally in the comments trying to find out how to get it lol!!
Bruh everytime i start hardcore playing a game this goober starts playing it 🤣 im like 50 hours into my playthrough of gamma. Love the vid ❤
For anyone wondering their discord has a full step-by-step tutorial of how to install this (including which software you need to use), also they have a bunch of mods disabled by default like the guns only being 20% durability so it's worth checking the list and adjusting them, but I'd recommend anyone who wants to play stalker 2, to play this, you can play as any faction
God I cant wait for the new influx of people to join to just complain about the setup and difficulty just because of this video.
@@wonderbread6100 It's gonna be Operatordrewski all over again but with even more goobers
Operator Drewski was the reason I started playing GAMMA. I remember that time well.@@redacted5736
@@redacted5736 not just "more," but "WORSE." have you ever been in sam's discord? it's like a rat king made of every rat that's ever lived, all their tails glued together by a mixture of mountain dew, pop tart crumbs, whiskey sugar, weed resin, and cum
This goes so hard. Especially the music. We need more.
safe to say Sam fired Jippy and found out how to use AI music makers
All I want is a Stalker that updates that graphics and gunplay/combat
There's a mod called "anomaly custom" it looks absolutely beautiful but it's a bitch to install
Radiophobia 3 is rly good. Standalone overhaul of Shadow of Chornobyl
a little history lesson here, there is an original nerd, the mod that started all of this is named... Misery
The egregious inventory clutter
weapons being rusted and fucked to hell
PSI mutants having massive hp pools and giant PSI auras that nuke you in seconds
Cats being faster than light assasins that give you red bleeds on every attack
all Misery
ah Misery, I still remember how abysmal the performance was with the og Pripyat engine
Called misery for a reason
Back when they spawned you next to a Merc base with a Skorpion LOL
I still listen to the Misery Radio songlist because it kicks ass.
Also it made itself into my personal safespace.
Running into Skadovsk overloaded while the Emission is starting, high on cocaine and hercules and without a backpack because you dropped everything when two chimeras cornered your loot whore ass.
Ah i love it.
Misery is way more tedious in terms of it's mutant balance than any other modpack since. If I recall correctly I looked into the game files and found out Chimeras have like 2k health, and so much health regen that anything that doesn't instakill it (and I don't even know what could instakill a 2k hp chimera) will be useless against one. Might be this was a mistake they later fixed in a patch, but even so the fucking mutant HP pools were absolute dogshit.
the song went so hard
Yeah that beat went too fucking hard
can someone please give me any information about the song @1:28 ?
For the love of god, what is that blood in my stool song. Google has not been so friendly to me in my search....
AI generated I believe.
@@whitehawk4099 awww damn. It's a lost cause then :(
@@whitehawk4099 what banger AI produces this level of musical goodness?
Stalker Gamma the one game where the first thing you do in a confrontation is not fight back, it's to save.
You know how GAMMA is even harder and less accessible than Anomaly? By default in GAMMA you can only save at friendly bases and campfires.
Thats why i exclusively play ironman (one life)
@@vanxthenecron3059 Nah. No thanks. That is waaay too hardcore for me. I don't like ironman in games. The new campfire save mod feels like a good in between.
Yeeeah im gonna need all the AI songs asap. That first song was hitting home
Ive only got a few thousand hours on this game... its def not for everyone.... but it is also not COD. If you go charging in, guns blazing then you will die very quickly.
Find me in the zone (Chernobyl Relay Chat Rebirth mod) if you wanna chat or trade Freedom scalps. I can ALWAYS use more freedom parts for the trophy mounts.
Names NCG on there. Happy hunting, Stalkers.
Funny enough Anomaly isn't even the first part of this "mod chain", more like the fifth.
Ah, yes.
I love leaving the Rookie village only to get immediately eaten by a Cat that runs at lightspeed.
"Blood in my Stool" absolutely slaps
Give us the "Strollin' in the Zone" song Sam
you can just tell Sam has never played stalker beforre
Possibly but Anomaly/Gamma is still a different beast from vanilla
@@Serbokrat Yeah, i had played the three mainline games before gamma and it still beaten me hard like a prostitute on the weekends
@@SerbokratTrue, alot of guys have been playing post MISERY mods for so long that they've forgotten how easy it is to find stuff like ammo and food in the original games
stalker was never popular here in america, so not a big surprise.
@@Serbokrat vanilla is easy. Anomaly/gamma is harder
I came here for the title.
Stayed for the music
Did he make the song about the AK cuz it hits so hard
GAMMA is all sneaking around and jumping guys and then getting domed as soon as you sprint to loot a guy
GAMMA is an enemy combatant crests over a hill 800m away from behind you that you never see or hear and domes you.
You forgot the dogs+boars combo, but yes.
Didn't EFP come before GAMMA? GAMMA is EFP, but more focused on crafting and survival aspects, whereas EFP was more weapons and combat focused. But there's a lot of overlap with both.
The hardcore GAMMA nerds will shun you for this but you can adjust the durability dropped guns spawn as
GAMMA fans when you disable one tedious mod that barely effects the gameplay among 450+ of them
why is this music actually really good.
Old World is by far the most chad thundercock "mod", because it literally takes anomaly, reverts it back to Vanilla stalker just in a new engine just as a Fuck you to all the hardcore and tacti cool bloated mod packs.
100% old world is the best analmeme addon
fucking hate tacticool gun porn in my stalker
damn right
I love anomaly, but I also can't help but agree that Old world is a great thing.
never thought i’d see the day where sam plays stalker let alone gamma
I love how this is basically a musical
Alot of new people jump straight into gamma without poking around first to learn what it is, gamma is for people who've played stalker for so long they find it easy so they want more CBT, for a beginer the base games or Anomaly is better.
I broke my hand while getting scared by a cat jumping me in red forest.
10/10 would play again
Gamma was literal fucking pain for me. Some of the best gear and I would STILL get stomped by a random fucking dog if I wasnt paying attention. Diet CBT, 10/10
