Hey mr amphibian
FrogMan đž
Indeed the best hub for creating cursed situations such as this
Need to go back to Rimworld imo.
Two new Rimworld dlc's since you last done those videos.
Bro the app doesn't even work on every operating system (plus it's closed source).
Why does these challenges feels closer and closer to real life each time
anxiety run
Because they are lol
The gig economy is wild sometimes
@@ambiguousamphibian i felt the pain in that "lol"
I know right
âFor a millennial, this is considered a pretty good quality of lifeâ sir I come here for escapism not to be so viciously attacked by one of my own
I'm pretty sure the first few minutes of this video are a cry for help.
Home, no. Smartphone, yes.
I just tried to buy a house irl and it had been on the market for 13 hours before being sold âš millennial existence (and really anyone after us) is pain hahahaha
As a tax preparer, it's a good thing the different businesses seem to have been located in different buildings. That'll make Pimp Gandalf's Schedule C's a _lot_ simpler to prepare. Each building is 100% used for one business, each has its own expenses that can be allocated to just one-
You _have_ been keeping track of those expenses separately, right?
Bold of you to assume these businesses are legal
Even bolder yet to assume this man is not an undercover IRS agent investigating said "legal businesses"
Bold of you to assume he even owns the land he built on.
Bold of you to assume he's even in the country.
ââ@@Jawsomest said the indigenous people to the European colonialists... Edit: (well, more like bold to assume land can be owned -_-)
Only 3 dollars to talk to someone in a dark room is kind of a steal tbh
3 dollars to fill my social interaction quota for the week? Sold
The floor pizza is a bonus too
Not just anyone but a literal Wizard Pimp.
@@kleptrep94 I'd pay for that
@@kleptrep94 Does he pimp out witches or does he just use his wizard powers to keep his hoes in line?
the club members babysitting the children was oddly touching
And also the dogs
show where it touched you.
An excellent social commentary about the exploitative nature of capitalism, and finding our humanity again in an age of unending technological nightmare. AA is a genius.
I mean that is basically what goes down in crack houses/addict squats
@@HeatherDoe wait, fr?
It's always wild to me how well Sims 4 seems to model human misery
Any Sims tbh
â@@ReiDaTecnologia Anyone but the 1st 1 the 1st one is way too hard and a little too static. I loved it when I was a kid but even Sims 2 is better for proper human suffering
@@QueenAleenaFan in sims 1 you're the human who's suffering
â@@cathacker13best summary for the sims 1 đđ
@@QueenAleenaFan -- The really wacky part of the first Sims was how deciding to put out a fire took several hours. You couldn't get anything done simply because it took too long to walk there.
I don't know why AA's description of the club when he first opened it made me crack up so much, but it did.
"It wasn't very good. It was just me. A man sitting in the corner in the dark, with an unbearable stench, eating pizza off the floor...."
Like something out of Disco Elysium. Or Florida.
It made you crack up because itâs hilarious, no mystery about it.
@@dinglepringle1380 I didn't laugh right away though. It is the delivery he has, and then I started thinking about it as if it were a real life club
@@0v_x0 This entire channel is Idiot Doom Spiral's.
Its great New Yorks hottest new club is called The Cheese.
Iys got everything Mildew covered walls, old skinny guys that don't shower, ambient lighting, and old pizza, 5 bucks gets you through the door and you can have the Painterly done on you?
What's that, you watch said old man paint terrible pictures of dogs in the buff while you sit on his stained bedbug infested cot.
babe wake up new ambiguous amphibian video
Great taste in video creators đ
You should totally do a challenge run for Stardew Valley. Thereâs a lot of poetic opportunity for a game where you move into a sleepy town, befriend the locals by giving them the same thing every single day, shove aside all intention to enjoy your life, and mass produce organic goods with statistics and grinding with about two acres of farmland
Nahh it need a looong time for that. Different from sims4 here. Just need a day(in real life) and he can make some chaos
â@@DBT1007he's committed unreasonable amounts of time for our entertainment in other games, project Zomboid and RimWorld for example
I don't know, two acres seems a little optimistic in todays economy.
You got what you wished for
âThe hottest club in SimTown is LiB Club. It has everything: cats in top hats. Pimp Gandalf. Messy greaseballs.â âWhatâs a messy greaseball?â âItâs when you smear homemade cannolli filling over your body and dance with a strangerâ
How I miss Stefon. XD
Nice!
I was hoping to find a Stefon reference in the comments!
- eating off of the floor
- in the dark
- unbearable stench
- bed and various activities outside
You've managed to make a sim live like a rimworld pawn and frankly it's a thing of beauty
"And so, with a heavy heart and a full bladder... I soiled myself and fulfilled my animal needs."
Absolutely legendary.
Pimp Gandalf is a character I can really empathise with. He's so relatable
Pimpdalf
Is it because of his appearance or because you too like to soil yourself behind big expensive solar panels?
@@BlareWolfgang yes
You have no idea how long it took us to figure out his name on the stream
Pimp Gandalf is quite possibly most millennials when in our late 60s. This is dystopian fiction made right here.
We need more of Pimp Gandalf's journey to enlightenment and self-actualization
Perhaps he could become the next Gerald Williams.
The modern diogenes, though less self centered, he set aside his own wellbeing to provide an escape for the community around him.
Was he drinking everyone else's booze? Probably. Checks out. đ
As always, the mix of Sims 1/SimCity 3000 soundtrack makes the video. AA knows whatâs up.
DEFINITELY the two best soundtracks in the Simming worldâŠ
3:39 "It was just me - an uncomfortable man of an unbearable stench, standing in a dark room in a pimp hat, eating pizza off the floor."
This is the start of a novel
I think Pimp achieved peak success when Mayor Whiskers and his dapper top hat visited.
I love these Sims challenges. I have 4 but have only played it like once. Sims 3 was so much better.
The mix of painting any textures you like and an open world is just unbeatable. If only the 64bit OSX version was ported to windows/Linux x86-64. :/
I need to vent somewhere, sorry in advance. Sims 3 wishes was so much better than Sims 4 wants and fear. The best would be sims 2, but the fact that Sims 4 forbid me from choosing my own wants and force me fears that is essentially a coin toss to overcome is soo annoying. I know I can turn it off, but without the wishes system, what am I going to work towards when thereâs a massive gap of space to my next Aspiration objective? Also, how they choose the wants is atrocious. In other sims game it makes sense that I never bat an eye, and if it didnât I could just change it or ignore it. In 4 the moment they like a certain music genre they instantly want to hear it and now every home I ever made had to have at least a speaker. God, how did they make such a bad move.
I enjoyed that one much more as well. Deeper WAY deeper customization options
3 was better due to intentional decisions by Electronic Arts, the owner of the franchise.
EA decided to blatantly strip out game features and sell them as add-ons, and then add a WHOLE pile of expensive DLC on top of that. It's ridiculous.
They bungled it up so much, that Paradox is going to be publishing a The Sims competitor game. They picked up the crown from the Sim City franchise when EA screwed that up in 2013, hopefully they'll do the same for The Sims.
I just wish I could get Sims 3 to run competently with the content available for it. It becomes super laggy if you add all expansions, nevermind a story progression mod like NRAAS.
As a millennial I can only say it's a sensible level of aspiration
Whatâs wild to me is I can almost see a place like this existing. It kind of makes me think of those gentrified mini-plazas they stick in small towns. More or less a glorified strip mall with some outdoor features.
I need this mod! A live in bar is what I've always wanted in sims 4.
The mod is by LittleMsSam, it works great!
It always feels like a reward when he uploads a video like for doing such a good job
I always "bust out" when this man uploades.
Anyone else kinda sad that he didn't have a mod that simply causes the sim to die when he steps off the lot? Would've made the ending more amusing.
This video is inspirational. Someday you too can become a successful hermit
You and Josh from let's game it out honestly are the funniest things on CZcams right now.
As a millennial, can confirm Pimp Gandalf is living the dream
I find that roof panels and turbines are usually the best, cause I'm 99% sure those can't break or get dirty, since you can put them on the roof where your sims can't access them. I think they're a bit more expensive, but not having to repair or clean them saves so much time
We just spent 10 minutes talking about Fight Club. Those toddlers are learning so much from their mentors!
"Like an Airbnb, just for the day And you have to stand among a bunch of other lonely depressed adults who are willing to endure unthinkable sensory unpleasantness" I died
3:04 Oh the face of the pizza lady when she has to witness the degradation of your sim. This is too real.
Another video that's a better social commentary on life in 2023 than most professional studies
Brilliant work AA
I'm so glad Paradox is going to be publishing a competitor to The Sims. If it goes anything like Sim City and Cities: Skylines, we'll finally have a good life-sim game again after EA screwed it up through greed and laziness.
Wait, what????? I haven't heard anything about this! I really liked Victoria 3 despite popular opinion. The models are definitely Sims quality; the gameplay just needs to be good.
hmmm. greed and laziness is absolutely the reason why Paradox want to do this in the first place...
you are aware Paradox's DLC strategy is exactly the same as that of The Sims 4, right?
@@daniellee4003 I don't know...CK3 has only had 4 DLCs in 3 years...
@@daniellee4003 I disagree, I play stellaris (a paradox space-strategy game) and they have some medicore DLC's sure but I've nabbed all the good ones on Steam for sale at only a few bucks each.
EA has never in all my years sold their $1000 worth of SIMs 4 DLCs at a rate worth buying even on Steam, and that makes a huge difference IMO.
Sales matter, because I don't buy games new. Steam is a godsend for the modern day cheap-ass gamer.
No
1:24 That was a great shot of Bob Pancakes! Bravo, AA!
Now this is the amphibian that I fell in love with all those months ago. Take me back.
1:50 - I absolutely love that callback painting to a simpler and more bizarre time... Spore.
I LOVE the outro music!!! AA you are one of the best youtubers thanks to your choice of games and the narrative and commentary you provide, really insightful and funny, keep it up!!
9:32 _And so, with a heavy heart and a full bladder, I soiled myself and fulfilled my animal needs_
That's going straight to the collection titled "phrases I need to use in relevant context before I am allowed to die"
I did a two month stint in rehab with your sim. dude had a suprisingly similar story, the babysitting and fighting, the painting and solar panels, its uncanny
the vibes from your streams and your videos are so different and i love both, so i love that i got to see this video in both forms
I was having a lot of anxiety from my new job, but this video made me laugh. I feel better now. Thanks AA
really fun concept would love to see more sims
I am ALWAYS up to watch a 10 minute video of you playing the Sims like it's Rimworld
"And so, with a heavy heart and a full bladder, I soiled myself."
Pure poetry.
Club Pimp Gandalf has it all. A broken man soiling himself. Awkward adults avoiding eye contact. Sheet rock.
I love everything about this video, thanks for making my day
Not gonna lie, running an Eco Nightclub sounds fun. I guess I know what I'm gonna do when TS4 addons get less outrageously expensive.
For now TS2 Open For Business is my jam. And well, you can run a furniture store. You could even play the game without buy mode, cause you can place / move stuff from your inventory...
This is basically how it looks when youtubers or tiktokers make "creator houses"
Yooooo I was wanting to dip into some Sims 4 mods, perfect timing!
Dude this video is your best so far!!!! I love you
If there's two things that hold true about millennials are that we can set our bar pretty low just to socialize with others and to spend as little as possible just to make ends meet, kudos to all my millennials out there, stay strong.
woooođđ
Bravo on the N7 profile picture đđ
As a zoomer I have evolved past the need for human contact.
â@@MassEffect1988 Does this unit have a soul?
@@kathrineici9811 Agreed! I am not a zoomer. x3 But dealing with people is just boring and annoying. You've got the right idea!
I love how you always use the best music from The Urbz đ
good to see that EA STILL hasn't fixed that glitch where sims just fight and argue with each other autonomously
I wish this was a longer upload, this whole dynamic is great and Pimp Gandalf needs to come back.
"Someone whose haggard countenance and scrawny build proclaims to the world, 'there's nothing left for me in this life.'"
great i'm catching strays
can't wait for the live action adaptation of this video!
One of the only channels i have notifications on for. Love this shit.
God, I love these Sims videos.
Thank you for this wonderful birthday present
If memory serves, Eco Living has one or two solar panel roof tile options. I'm pretty sure it generates way more power than it should; or I might be thinking of that one Rimworld mod.
I'm also so sad there's no in between length of videos đ but happy for any AA time I get!
yessssss this was exactly what i needed
Another great AA video. Especially with the Sims. Why am I not surprised about its high quality? Bro knows how to bring these challenges head on...
You and Kevin doing sims videos around the same time with the same sponsor is actually awesome
I always look forward to Amphibian's uploads, they never fail to entertain in a unique way x3 fun challenge run and interesting to see what you can do with mods with sims
would unironically love to watch a movie about just a himbo opening a bunch of businesses in his own home
A thousandaire. I like the sound of that.
(AKA it makes it sound better than it actually is.)
5:47 - 5:51
Oh, wow; the mayor of Brindleton Bay graced Pimp Gandalf's club with his presence. What an honor.
I mean, Mayor Whiskers has always been a down-to-earth, for-the-people kind of mayor, but taking the time out to visit the establishment of a struggling and impoverished newcomer to the area is downright neighborly.
This was fun to watch, I'd love to see something like this but with a goal in mind like 10 million dollars or something, could be fun to do and maybe every 5 minutes you have to do some challenge or something to make you really hurry and get money as fast as possible before you get ruined by the challenges
"And then I hired a barista, to work the counter, and serve delicious Italian pastries to the patrons. Who were still fighting. Despite my expensive offerings of custard." The cadence combined with the erratic Italian music and judgmental AA face is potent, sweet Jesus.
there are raw, nameless emotions communicated by Pimp Gandalf's selfies
Thank you for the Life strats.
AA and The Sims is the best combination one can hope for on CZcams
Damn, I wish I had the idea of a club/bar/gym where the guests pay to look after kids/pets/me... Genius :D
I didn't know that CZcams measured amount of time since video release in seconds...
Amazing video keep up the good work!
this video feels even more unhinged than usual
i love it
i love all your stuff!!
There was a cat in a top hat, people were yelling at me in bed :D
Things that could've kept the bills down:
- Bill reduction decor. This includes various varieties of grass flooring, sand flooring, a strange sort of sand wallpaper(?), one specific hexagonal wood flooring, two specific types of wood siding, funky looking support beams, actual steel beam support beams, and thatch roofs. These are all from Eco Lifestyle, though I think one or two exceptions might be the sand flooring, which I think might be from the basegame, and the thatch roofs, which I'm pretty sure _are_ from the basegame.
- The Off-The-Grid lot challenge, which should do fine with all those dew/rain collectors and solar panels you installed (I wonder why you didn't use windmills so much. Are they less effective?). Candles can help prevent power use and specific plumbing must also be used with this Off-The-Grid lot challenge. Also, the roof mounted varieties of solar panels and windmills don't require maintenance.
this shits getting too real man, keep it up :)
I just started watching and I get an ad for the sims 4 curseforge, that may or may not have been a coincidence (also at the time of commenting this youtube on my end glitched and said there are no comments)
Earliest I've ever caught one of these! Huge fan, mr crypticwaterlizard
Your voice is lovely, thanks fĂłr posting! :)
This cat in a hoodie got my heart hah
Ambiguous I just wanna say that if I could afford it Iâd be a patron sponsoring, I love your videos and one day soon I hope to be backing this channel
Pimp Gandalf is one of my favorite AA characters. I hope we see more of him.
Always a good day when AA posts!
Man, I love your humor.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this has me in tears laughing. As soon as he got the pizza at 2:30 and started describing the first "club" business I just started dying omg đđđ
What a masterpiece ...again ^^!
yessss the philosopher persona
My man, I am genuinely curious. How much do you laugh while playing the games, and or editing your recorded footage? I would love to hear a "bloopers" like video of your editing process. I am sure it is quite amusing.
A masterpiece of a video.
This is the funniest video Iâve seen in awhile đ
This is probably the funniest sims 4 game play I've watched
I fucking love these videos so much and I canât explain why
The whole nightclub thing sounds like something stefon from snl would describe.
I hope you only make content you enjoy making. You are an artist
