Some 48 minute long adhd guide for anything? A bold strategy my lord.

[@Venoxium]

Truly a wild strategy. Tho these mod packs are great for someone with ADHD. Constantly something happening and new things to do. So it’s easy to sink a few hours into it without making any “real” progress.

[@saooran7364]

@@Venoxium You see the perils of the adhd? I thought this was a comprehensive guide for the "ants in the pants" people. Surely I will give it a shot!

​@@AirSnipers96 I once spent 24h straight programming. No coffee or anything. ADHD does have it's upsides, at times lol

[@Schrodingers_kid]

​@@Venoxium Agreed. People say that ADHD is a mechanism that was developed to ensure that we're constantly moving and not stagnating, but I really this that it's stagnation, but in a more vertical sense, where you still get things done, just not the ones that get you closer to the goal lol

[@lorenzmanalastas4839]

Don't underestimate yourself man, this is a really good guide. Covered all the important bases (weapon/armor repairs, healing and the general gameplay loop). Well done.

[@Venoxium]

Thanks!!!

[@nathanielferera7331]

Ive been playing Gamma for about 2 weeks with no guides or anything. Wanted to go in blind as much as possible my first play through. So i now wanted to watch a tutorial. For what you have shown tought me a lot. And was very entertaining to watch. You have done a great job. Please keep up on these tutorials. Me and others will appreciate. You got my like, comment, and subscribe. Hope all goes well.

[@dray3754]

This is definitely the best guide I've seen so far. I have ADHD and autism too. Your way of explaining seemed streamlined and informative. I'll be checking out more content from you now! Thanks a lot for the introduction!

[@Rikuyami_x]

Definitely helps massively with comprehension and not making a beginner’s guide too difficult to cognitively process and practice as a new STALKER player. Simplified, blunt, and exceptionally efficient guide.

[@kylebiemiller4313]

I’m not sure if anyone’s said this to you or not, but this guide was insanely well-organized. You followed a very logical (in my eyes) chain of events that a typical first gameplay would, assuming someone has an idea of what to do. I liked it, this guide was fantastic. Can’t wait to see the others!

[@Venoxium]

Thanks! Glad it helped

[@excelion7109]

I started playing GAMMA... well, today. And out of all the videos I seen about the game-mod (and that's more than few) your explanations and structure were the most clean and understandable about how the mod works and what is required. Great video!

[@Venoxium]

Glad it’s helped!!!

[@KristallFire]

Thats the perfect all in one guide gor gamma, holy crap. I played Stalker now for hours and still learned a few things. Very good Video.

[@enzocostaalexandre9915]

not a beginner in the gamma/efp but i like to view as many guides as possible in my free time, u just made one of the best guides i've seen, covered everthing important which a beginner must know, keep doing this mate

[@GamerMarine89]

So a thing with fanatic especially for newer GAMMA players. Dont finish his task. Do the hunting part. Then just ignore anomaly hunting. If you do this you get a free companion early game, can give him any gun off bodies he will use it if its better than his. As well as in new areas he will give tasks and possibly give you stash locations upon completion. (These tasks are normally mutant hunting so its easy money and possible stash)

[@heyisleo]

06:55 Reminder that you can heal you main health by standing next to a lit campfire, so only use medkits if your in combat and desperate, also no need to use cofin dablets after yadolin if your also not in combat anymore, just run it out of your system overtime. And sleep heals limbs

[@DatingTV]

Oh man, this video is just what I needed! I only ever (re)play the Stalker games with QoL mods and nothing else, so when I first touched GAMMA I was not super excited about it. This was perfect to rekindle my interest in trying out this experience again. Hats off, and I'm off to watch part 2!

[@zlbnjlbdslvn]

Please consider doing more gamma guides, like about the artifacts: best farming methods etc. For example I usually try to struggle through and craft at least 99% Empty and Wrench before attempting Scorcher.

[@Venoxium]

The funny thing about artifacts is I absolutely hate dealing with them LOL. I can definitely make a guide but I don’t ever use them in GAMMA. It’s mainly due to how grindy it is to repair the artifacts to 100%.

[@SpecShadow]

best artifact for Scorcher is Phantom Star + random junk artifacts to burn for powering Phantom Star. It let you skip most/all fights in Radar if you come from Red Forest entrance

[@wazman77show]

This was a really good guide. Thank you !

[@barkinpeker1907]

I got ADHD and aspergers too. Best guide i’ve ever watched for GAMMA.❤

[@xmaserbex7392]

Nice, now we need a guide to which weapons to go for first for each faction

[@niyiu3547]

Everything A class, which you can repair without a toolkit. MPs and pistols mostly. Grind missions with those, until you get the basic tools in a gold stash. With that you can repair B class stuff and so forth. Depending on difficulty, you can pick an M1911 .45 in character creation and.45 Hydra Shock ammo can carry you to Rostock easily. Hydra is expensive and the 1911 only has 7 rounds per mag, though, so you gotta be accurate. Hydra Shock shreds any monster easily, so if you find an UMP45, you're pretty much set for moster killing the entire playthrough.

[@ARoyaleWithTrees]

as a seasoned stalker veteran, this guide actually taught me some new things about gamma. Honestly, good work fellow stalker!

[@Dilbravishlah]

Depending on what you're irradiated with drinking is still common advice if you get an uptake because you can reduce the effective half-life by pissing like crazy so in that case beer is a bit more effective than vodka.

[@magnusberge]

19:25 Fun fact: if you turn off story mode then you dont have to turn have to turn off MiracleMachine, then nothing but heavy radiation is preventing you from going north

[@Theuber8990]

as a guy with adhd myself, all this info was super digestible. Perfect guide for me lol

[@LydiaOfTheNorth]

Definitely one of the better, more complete guides for GAMMA. Also suitable for non-ADHD-people, but they might have to watch it in 0.75 lol

[@Venoxium]

LOL yeah. Slowing down my speech causes me to either stutter or completely lose my train of thought. I watch vids at 2x speed so I’d imagine I speak close to 1.5x.

[@sunder11111]

Changing the sprint key to shift makes you way more likely to accidently shift click and drop items from your inventory

[@Venoxium]

While that is true, I’ve rarely done that and the convenience of Sprint being Shift is nice

[@Hydus]

that was such a well put together video...precise, no downtime and the most impressive part is actually going through the most important mechanics for new players WHILE doing it live did you just wing the narration or did you at least have bullet points? I cant tell haha in any case great job my dude Edit: you did say scripted but nah dude as you said your style is way better

[@Venoxium]

I winged everything! My ADHD brain cannot follow a script. I can write bullet points but actual sentences are a no-go. So a majority of the guide series is just "I think this needs to be explained" and then I record for around 1hr30mins & see where that ends up.

[@Hydus]

@@Venoxium nice dude. well you nailed it..also i just saw that there was an 8:34 hour version so im just gonna listen to that while im doing my first gamma game

[@derrick9605]

Shoutout to Richard Gamma for such a great game.

[@thelastminuteman7513]

I personally advise against starting with a shotgun. Mainly because A they are the easiest to find build, repair, maintain and acquire the parts and gear to do so and B because even in poor condition they are generally more reliable especially the double barrels and even the pump actions. Semi-autos tend to be less reliable but clearing jams fairly easily so if your smart and quick you can clear the jam side step a charging mutant and get him when he comes back around. Playing my cards right I can usually get a usable shotgun together before leaving the cordon maybe with a little venturing into the swamps. So I usually forgo the sunrise suit and start with an SKS and Vityaz PP-19 like you. Believe it or not you can wreck boar with the SKS and the ammo is plentiful and cheap enough.

[@novaca9826]

Sometimes these mods can go a bit overboard. But overall i think its great for extending the life of these games

[@alexmcgreal836]

[@Venoxium]

[@levitatingbusinessman2560]

As an experienced S.T.A.L.K.E.R., this guide is really really good but it's also too much meta gaming :) I honestly think the best way to learn Stalker is just by trial and error. Preferably with a beer. (maybe a joint)

[@ChrisisCroissant]

I was quite surprised when i heard "autistic, combined with ADHD" because as an autistic person myself, i think your voice sounds pretty alright :> Anyway, thanks for the video, and a think it explains a few things (like the repair system) pretty well

[@Venoxium]

They made STALKER 2 with the intention that some people hadn’t played the OG trilogy. I definitely recommend playing them sometime (they’re on sale for $10 bundle atm), but it’s not required to understand STALKER2.

The wheel is called “Quick Action Wheel” and the Garbage to Rostok mod is now included in the newest version of GAMMA.
