No shade, your videos are wonderful to sleep to. I eventually watch later, but when I'm dying from migraine, you are my savior.
Same ! This guy is amazing if ur incapacitated . Slow pace and dry humour . Btw beta blockers are great for migraine . Hope u feel better soon !
I feel your pain as someone who gets migraine on the regular. Not listened to AA while suffering though. I'll have to give it a try 👍
I thought I was the only one who religiously sleeps to his voice lol, I’m pregnant and have wild dreams and when I fall asleep to his videos I seem to have pleasant dreams instead of nonsensical nightmares. So soothing 😴
@@lexiperplexi453 congrats on being pregante , may your baby be big brain and always chill

"We could rename the districts, ... but I have a life..." - AmbiguousAmphibian, 2022
Inadvertently makes a one-road city in his first few minutes of play- “I don’t want there to be any major problems”
It's the easiest way to not fuck up.
“A giant main road” had me laughing

Yep, authentic 1st gameplay, legit.
35:10 The elementary school I went to had like undeniably lower ceilings. I went back on the day I graduated high school since I still occasionally kept in touch with some of the teachers I had in the neighborhood I lived in, and I was freaked out by how small everything felt. Everything that wasn't the front office and the counselor's room- from the room sizes to door handles to the ceiling height- was built with children in mind which is wild considering the like two hundred adults that have to staff the building
Two hundred adults in an elementary school? jeez... My elementary school had like 40 adults for the 400 kids.
The foreshadowing with your comments on your typical discontent by the end of the game was beautiful
Intentionally unintentionally creating class divisions with housing and access to employment... Carnegie would be so proud
I've never heard so much rage for the radio in this game lol. I'm here for it.
Dude your voice is so awesome. Sometimes you sound like Kermit a little and it makes me LOL. You have such a great sense of humor too. Man you're my new favorite streamer on RUclips.
"we never actually need a fire department..."
"OH GODS THAT'S ON FIRE"
Hamlet would have been a VERY different play if he was just cool with all the terrible things that happened to him. Dad murdered? Oh well, he had a good run. Mom marries your uncle? At least they already have a history together. Denmark ain't so rotten after all!
Also family marrying uncles, aunts/nephew, nieces was well, common the royal sphere.
So your mom marrying your uncle? Whats new
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 there's even cultures where if a man dies his wife marries his brother. And a man marries his wife's sister if she dies.
@@DrPonner basically every culture until the last 200 years. Not easy for a young widow to remarry
@@DJMcFlinty it really wasn't the case for "basically every culture". It certainly wouldn't be as notable if it were.
@@DJMcFlinty in white cultures that is
Watching the red line get closer and closer to the next chapter when the disasters begin like *1 DAY REMAINS*
My man accidentally made fucking Grove street
You have an incredibly soothing voice
OMG I’ve been waiting my whole life for AA to play cities skylines. More please!
Oxygen Not Included pls sir Ambigousamphibian 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
this
More yes!!!
"I do want the proletariat to eventually seize the means of production" same brother
Always a happy ending.
Communism: It just works.
I'm cool with it as long as it happens s far away from my country.
Hey Amphy, would you ever do a '20+ year Revisiting' of Civilization 2 ? I feel like that game just doesn't get enough recognition for how damn good it was at the time.
hell yeah that would be great.
Ah, this is one of the very few games I actually pick up again and again after months or even years of not playing.
I know you won't see this but I really think you would like Song of Syx amphibious one
I love your sim city and skylines stuff.... in fact I love all your series in general and one of the few people I can watch a live stream.
Perfect to watch while attempting to rectify my Kafkaesque dysyopian engineering assignment
Your content is addictive, man
Playing your VODs in the background while I clean my room. You get more watch time, I get my occasional laugh at your sarcasm while doing something meaningful with my life :D
Keep up the good videos bro. May not be the most popular but your the best gaming channel I’ve seen in years
You're*
What if we’re in a simulation but AA is our player? 🤔
You know too much.
The good lord says he can get me outta this but he's pretty sure you're fooked.
It would explain the last few years
We're screwed
Love it. Wondrous. Dystopirific.
*me half asleep listening to this*
Heh. Bauhaus.
After watching so much city planner plays watching this is an experience hahahaha
Right! I would love to see some real city planner play this!
I dare you to watch Graystillplays' run of city skylines.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 I’ll do right after I finish this comment… I’ll update you in a bit.
Edit: do you know the playlist I’m kinda lost honestly, looking though them all!
Edit 2: I found it, never mind!
@@internalizedhappyness9774 Ah apologies. I uh was cut off from the internet and the data wasnt working. Glad you found the videos though!
Opinions so far?
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 I was overwhelming but understandable why people could like it.
I love to learn new words and so I ended up watching videos and learning about the story of "Kafkaesque" and its my new favourite word.
I love to listen to every episode while at work
This is the content I live for
“This city is starting to look like San Francisco.” So there’s poop and needles on every corner?
Your voice is so soothing. I love watching your longer vids before bed.
Oh God bless- just what I needed to relax and get ready for bed! Love what you do Ambi 💕
When you said to just let the kids self select out I died laughing. Subscribed right then. :)
Your vids help me unwind❤️❤️
buffalo, ny, the videogame! very nice
"I don't have THAT much of a lobotomy"
I love these videos
Please do a full wii sports video! Pump that nostlagia juice into my gluteus maximus frog man!
Every time I see "Kafkaesque" I think "Kefka-esque," as in Kefka from FF6. Which is ironically applicable, lol.
I have syphilis.
Congrats man
I guess the elves aren't as clean as they come off.
I'm honestly suprised he hasn't played this, I really thought he made a video on this.
Spiff has, and they're friends. I think I found aa from spiff actually
He has kind of, here it is: ruclips.net/video/xWMyhlOGhRU/видео.html
The tsunami never materialized because the ocean was too dense from all the doo-doo in it
This vid is giving Ignatius J. Reilly vibes.
No health care like North America, Canada and mexico ''what''?
Terence Mckenna was a visionary!
Ambiguous you want a copy of Age of Empires 2 The Age of Kings? I have a disk that I'm planning to get rid of...
Oddly enough, This makes me want to buy a Wii.
Love ur vids ..ur funny guy
It would be great to see a video of you doing No Mans Sky.
THIS JAZZ IS SUBLIME.
I love Terrence McKenna
THIS JAZZ IS SUBLIME
Everyone take off your balaclavas 😂
GGs.
You’re so funny have my children
birb will have your obedience...
or else...
3:30 🥰🥰 YES You know his name!!??!? I *knew* I liked you for a reason. What about Blind Willie MacTell?
Had to Google Kafkaesque thanks for the homework jerk
God cds were a bad idea. I can still remember the original marketing ad for them. A guy putting jam or something on it then wiping it quick an it still working. Seemed awesome at the time, but looking back the amount of times a disc wasnt recognised because of a fingerprint was ridiculous. I suppose anything would have been amazing tho. The games on tapes were torture. It would take 15 mins of screeching to load a game that to call it pixel art would be generous. Oh an at any given point it could crash an u had to start over. For everytime it actually loaded an u could play there would be about 5 crashes on avg. It could basically take u all morning to load the game an it was pointless after school coz by the time u got it working it was dinner bath an bed. Good times, good times. Games never actually loading is probably why kids back then went out more.
Create a massive nuclear powerplant on the moon. Use it to create enough energy to send electricity wirelessly via a series of massive tesla coils.
I will install this to move the poo.
Well, Canada is in north America and have health care ^^'
You sound a lot like Anthony Jeselnik!
I heard about that Polygon coverage of Sim City's "hidden politics."
Mostly that it was proof that if you look hard enough you can conjure politics from anything.
OH GAWD he's binging Sims again, quick chat, an INTERVENTION. 🤣🤣 I brought my gun with me. YELLING WILL HELP! It's Always Sunny has taught me these things work.
stubbed my Libya the other day
Cool, cool... But this ain't no Simcity 4 if you know what I mean.
another video of you suffering on zomboid please
No he should make a Louisville a better place to live after the zombie apocalypse repairing home and residences for all for the potential residence that could return home.
Make the city the best place live in project zomboid is essentially the challenge I propose he should take head on!
XD eveyone just take off your balaclavas
You have the same accent and similar speech patterns as Daniel from SL. Which means you two probably are from the same place or grew up in the same area. You’re from Manhattan you say?
Lol yes i was yelling at my screen. Im no pro, but I've learned a lot from some pro RUclipsrs.
"bird is on some conscience altering substance" I wanna know what kind of drug changes your morals while you take it. Or is this some kind of Pinocchio deal with a cricket?
this roundabout is positively giant
Also people who honk in traffic jams are trash
15:20 is pretty much the opposite
The power line in the water isn’t dangerous tbh.
A lot of islands get there power from underwater power lines.
They just have to be insulted (above ground lines are insulted by air)
Calling math class fun is hearsay
@@amandak.4246 not heresy, it's a different word.
@@amandak.4246 though it is heresy despite that
doo doo dumping simulator
Nemo L’orangefello
u kind of sound like seth
wiifit bruh
Why does he sound like elon
more zomboid my good sir =D
I second that decree!
P.s if AA could do a tutorial on how to run a project zombie sever / other tricks of the trade, I would be grateful!
seth?
56:54 The English don't call the rubbish "garbage", that's reserved for when something isn't very good. You also don't roll the R in Basura, only with a double R, like in Tierra. You still don't do a rhotic R with basura though. Rhotic Rs are regional in England and regional to the US accent and aren't really a thing in other languages either.
Ah Terrance McKenna. Really weird, interesting stuff. I just hate the way he talks 😅
I love you seth
What are these ads he keeps talking about?? Edit: nevermind I wasn't paying attention
Yes AA, destroy those greedy capitalists! Embrace the fascist you were meant to be!

Kafkaesque…. Is that a Joe pera reference by chance? Much love AA
Err... no. It's a Kafka reference.
It's like the term "Lovecraftian" when inexplicable eldrich horrors begin weaving their way into a plot (both in the metaphorical and in the literal sense).
Kafka himself didn't invent the dystopian genre, but he does have a specific flavor within the genre. The dystopias he melds are usually ones in which "everyone is watched" in a creepy and unerving way.
@@sloshed-rat excellent summation! I’m familiar with the term but only due to an episode of Joe Pera Talks with you! If you’ve never watched, definitely give it a whirl!
Joe Mama
Hey aa, love the content as usual but i have come to make but a humble request. Simply put your charming philosophical shitposts and genuinely insightful takes i feel would go very well with a pokemon nuzlocke run. Would you please consider suffering the pain of losing virtual pets that you have seemingly bonded with for my and hopefully others enjoyment?
Level and flat just like earth
