Can I Beat Rimworld as a TORSO?

- For old time's sake, I decided to play Rimworld as a torso and see if I could get one of the most limited characters back up to strength with four bionic limbs within 100 days.

I wanted to do something extremely unoriginal this time in memory of one of my favorite runs. Hope you enjoy!
More content, especially Project Zomboid stuff on the way soon I've just had a nice time travelling at home with family and friends. Hope you've all had a great holiday, whatever you celebrate! :)
you and Nurse all about torsos
It was only a matter of time until this came back
Glad your holidays have been enjoyable! Thanks for the content and by some weird virtual proxy, your company. It's been delightful. XD Travel safe and be well! 🙏
Are the live streams coming back soon, good sir amphibian ?
Love you Ambiguous. Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder :)
I just find it cool that Torsolo's doctor that installs his new limbs is also his lover.
Sounds like a series/movie trope.
The Florence Nightingale Effect.
You'll notice the "Got some lovin'" bonuses increase the more cyberlimbs Torsolo has. Hmmmmm....

It's been ten days and several reports, why is the sex spam still up?! Is YT taking bribes?
I shed a tear for Maverick after this; her initial human compassion having unfortunately set her mate on the alluring path AWAY from his humanity, and ergo, away from herself. It is reminiscent of those old horror movies where the spouse either grows to gargantuan proportions or shrinks to the molecular level, embarking on his solitary journey of discovery and eventual extinction, while those who loved him are only left to mourn....and to wonder.
i would love to see that made into a movie
@@FoxSenpie cyberpunk edgrunners
I was gonna say, this had the energy of a classic Victorian-era novel, especially the end of him "becoming more than human", turning on the one he loved, and wandering off into the wastes and all that. That whole genre and really horror in its modern form emerged because of society's freakout at the realization science gave us that we were just... Animals. Objects. Material. Matter. Meat.

Always eat with a table

For the want of a table the Kingdom was lost!
The ending is like John Wick, except instead of his dog it was all because he ate without a table.

torsolo in Italian is the part that you left when you eat an apple.
this makes it 10x more funny
The core?
@@R3GARnator yep thanks.
And it can also mean "dumb person". "Se proprio un torsolo!"🤣🤣🤣
That's almost poetic; The outer extremities of the noble torsolo were consumed by the world, flesh of apple and man alike in their fleeting life, eaten away to reveal a tougher core.
That is because the word torso is derived from the italian word.
Slogan of this survival is:
“It’s just can’t be worse so everything we do is good”

@@strogonoffcore I dunno but he probably should
I understood that reference
So... A woman falls from the sky, sees a guy with a singular peg leg and a singular arm ending in a wooden hand and said... "Yes. This is attractive."
I think Torsolo's charm was more in his intellect and character. 😬
I think she feel in love with a limb
Supply and demand.
"I can fix him. Literally."
The story is much sadder than that. She fell from the sky like an angel, helped him fix his broken body. Then helped him become more machine than man, only for him to lose his humanity and kill her. All over the course of about 2 months.

You should do a play through with the mod “eating without a table just kills you”
That would be so much fun to watch.
Sounds like that luciferium run he did awhile ago, after all. You can't force them to eat at a table right?
@@SoggyCoffeeAddict not quite, it’s literally as it seems if the colonist doesn’t eat at a table they straight up drop dead
@@SoggyCoffeeAddict with mods you can do almost anything
@@daltonmontgomery2507 yeah, but it's not really something you can control. Just like the luciferium, at least he doesn't have to travel. But still, you could fill a colony up with tables and chairs. You'd still have colonists eat without a table because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@SoggyCoffeeAddict There's a mod I have, I forget what it's called but it basically increases the range at which they'll find a table but...idk 200 cells comes to mind. It's super handy but doesn't completely remove the epic challenge of having a table available at all times.
I have two dining rooms in my current base and only ever suffer the cursed "Ate without a table" when people are caravanning.
"Thanks to all of my patrons, for each one of them is like another limb!"

Poor Maverick
She found a lonely Torso in the woods and decided to help him. By chance, she happened to have the medical knowledge to grant him limbs so that he could again move and manipulate. Through hours of surgery they bonded. Torso found her sophisticated culture and philosophy interesting and attractive, and Maverick was moved by Torso's desire to once again be able to accomplish what others find so easy. Torso and Maverick fell deep into love for one another. But it was too good to be true. Torso became distant, locking himself away for hours to study. He yearned ever more to bypass the physical limitations of his form. Torso's slight aloofness and awkward personality descended first into neuroticism and then psychosis and extreme paranoia. He became obsessed with perfecting his body, replacing his organic parts with experimental technology, he removed anything he deemed imperfect. The night of Torso's final surgery Maverick awoke to the wails of megasloth and fauna alike. Torso had been stirred into some kind of trance, mowing down everything in sight while ranting about slight errors in NBC sitcom Community. Maverick spent hours nursing a catatonic Torso as he mumbled incessantly "Why does Shirley make the signum crucis if she is a Baptist?" and "Why are there palm trees in Colorado" and "Shouldn't Jeff have been automatically disbarred for a minimum of eight years as per Colorado Bar Association's rules?". After days of diligence and patient coaxing Maverick finally made a breakthrough when she absentmindedly complimented the evident talent in the writing staff of NBC sitcom Friends. The lucidity granted by this disturbance allowed Torso a greater vision of the real world, in which he found himself sat in bed and eating. With vague memory he recalled, to his absolute loathing and discomfort, the many meals his beloved Maverick had fed him without the aid of a table. This appalling affront to basic etiquette and standard practice drove Torso through a death spiral catharsis, after which he feigned recovery and set his plan in motion to enact revenge. He seduced Maverick, she had become reluctant in the past weeks, and professed his love for her repeatedly throughout their lovemaking and, at the climax of their union, whispered "So, did Troy break his shoulders? or his knee?". Maverick reeled in horror as Torso produced a rifle and began filling her with lead like she had fed him non-table served food. Maverick's body slumped like Pierce in the trampoline episode, Torso moved on, walking into the sunset a savage of ration and logic, no longer human.

Wow, truly a beautiful journey. What a great start to 2022, especially. Great work! You're the CZcamsr that actually got me into Rimworld very recently. I bought it during the sale this Christmas, never would've tried it if I hadn't seen your ice sheet series.

Assuming this was intentional, I see what you did there.

I can't believe how much Torsolo abandoned his humanity by the end, it's poetic. He really had gone so far from where he started, he thought eating without a table would be nothing to someone like him. His story of progress and overcoming challenges became a story of how he died.
Oh my god, Torsolo was so strong he defeated the third dimension
Not gonna lie, I miss your rim world play throughs. It actually really made me relaxed and helped me through lockdowns. I’d love to see more
Yes, more rimworld please!!!

Rimworld is what brought me to your amazing channel and I’m glad to see you’re still having fun with it!
...I absolutely loved this narration and quest. Your references were on point, bro. Even if the gyre widened, Torsolo, the center, could eventually hold... with the appropriate prosthetics.
Edit: ...until he lost his grip...
After watching every single Rimworld related video on your channel I decided to get the game and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My colony's dog got killed so I decided to store it in the freezer in case I got resurrector mech serum but my colonists decided to butcher and eat it instead. 10/10 Would freeze my dead dog again
Fyi you can forbid items (corpses) and your colonists won't touch them!
Welcome to Rimworld, we know you will enjoy your time here.
PS the Geneva Suggestion is exactly that
Torsolo struggled so much with building that wall the first day not because he only had one wooden limb, but because he was holding the nails with his wooden hand and pounding them in with a rock glued to his forehead. He often forgot he didn't complete a section before moving on to the next because of his self-induced concussions.
I recently found your channel and I have thoroughly enjoyed every video then just like the others this one is an absolute amazing art piece thank you for existing
I really like how cinematic this episode felt.
This will be the third or fourth time I will watch this. This man’s voice and cadence is so relaxing.
I have fallen asleep by accident while listening to Say's smooth voice more times than I care to count, no regrets.
You are insane and brilliant, every time I see your Rimworld videos I just have to watch them. I am captivated by your wit and your incredible storytelling - not to mention your awesome grasp of the game! Thank you for this... great Monday evening viewing! 🐝
I need more Amphibian rimworld in my life
I love your scripts…so well written and witty
alternate title: rimworld - the kenshi experience
The Torsolo experience was a fantastic playthrough and I'm happy to see another run for it, short as it may be. I'm sure he's off terrorizing some other colony somewhere, possibly having replaced his bits with archotech parts, trascending even bionic cyborgs.
Glad to see more rimworld, not been subscribed long but so glad I found your channel, I've been systematically going through and watching all your content and you even convinced me to purchase rimworld for myself keep up the splendid work.
Welcome to Rimworld!
Torsolo always manages to put a smile on my face
fun fact, a torsolo in Italian means the part of an apple you dont eat, therefore, useless junk.
i've been following you for a year right now, and I LOVE your voice, even if I cannot understand everything you're doing ...I love your Rim World playlists! , been watching them 2 times over again...
That was the best one ever. A perfect subject for the patented Ambiguous Amphibian droll philosophizing.
Seems like it distilled a lot of the goodness from the Kenshi series into a Rimworld gem.
“I hopped on my peg leg to extinguish the fire with my wooden hand.” Absolutely brilliant
Nice! I was needing SOMETHING... and what I needed? AA's calming voice and the Rimworld Torsolo experience.
Torsolo lives on, not just on the desolate world of Kenshi, but now on the Rim, perhaps one day to amass an army of fellow Torsos to challenge the Empire for what he has a right to take.
The eating without a table joke is still not dead, thank you
I missed the rimworld playthroughs!! I'm glad more rimworld content came :)
I love your storytelling.
You should try out the Vanilla expanded Ancients mod next. You can get neat super powers
I found your channel like two days ago and I love you cadence, your jokes, and sudo intellectual philosophizing on video game events... It is very entertaining.
Your narration is beautifully poetic!
This reminds me of something that happened recently. A prisoner named Worm tried to escape and was severely injured. As punishment I decided to 'purify' him. By the end of my endeavour Worm had no eyes, ears, legs, arms, one kidney, one lung. He was perfect and it became so clear to me - The Worm Loves You. The Worm is Perfect. We must worship the worm. So for some time the colony existed solely to care for this lump of flesh called The Worm until he was finally allowed to rest.

Ah, the humble Torsolo graced our screens with his wisdom and perseverance once again. Also, glad you had a nice holiday, AA!
I have to know if that ending was staged or not XD Regardless, a cinematic masterpiece as always, Mr. Amphibian!
That was strangely beautiful and poetic. Thank you for delivering your story with such prose.
Loved it. Nostalgic about the kenshi run because that's where I found your channel. Keep up the great content
Hey, I really enjoy your rimworld videos, but it always frustrates me that you never managed to build your own rocket and leave. I would personally love watching an extended series like the ORGANization again.
Always enjoy your Rimworld videos. You have a great voice for story-telling, and Rimworld is a story generator.
Man I loved the Torsolo Saga back in Kenshi so much. Glad you brought it back. Just started with Rimworld myself. Feels like Kenshi back in the day.
that's gonna make me rewatch the whole torsolo experience thanks!!
great video, so glad Kotton gave that shout out hope to see more rim world.
I love your commentary and playing rim world
Surgery really is something of a wildcard. One time, my colony doctor fell ill from an infection in his left leg, and with no hope of building up immunity in time. So, I put my second-best to the task of saving this poor soul's life. He somehow managed to fail to sever the infected limb initially, but on the second try, the runner-up doctor found purchase - in the unconscious doctor's heart and right kidney. It is beyond me how he went from amputating a limb to destroying a heart, which leads me to believe this was an intentional flub. The 'manslaughterer' is still the colony doctor to this day.
This title made me burst in laughter, since i watched a few videos of you allready and kinda know what kind of commentary i can expect. Looking forward to the next 14 minutes!
the last minute was the most surprising top 10 anime betrayal of 2022 so far.
AA your narrated plays are the best entertainment this side of lockdown
God tier narration I could listen to him talk about anything.
Torsolo and Gerald Williams are some of my biggest inspirations
If they can survive and thrive as the worst possible humans alive

Neverminding the fantastically ridiculous premises you start from and the fabulous narrations you compose, you are just so. god. damned. GOOD at this game. This playthrough was a downright masterclass in beautiful simplicity and ruthless efficiency. I adore you.

I could "watch" these blind, the narration is the key of these videos.
Bravo! 🎉

I watch your videos when I feel ill. Your voice is smooth and soothing to me, and your videos don't feature frantic editing or loud noises. So a few videos in my nausea subsides. Ty
YES, I loved the kenshi version as soon as it came out, can't wait to watch this at 7am!
I love your videos dude. I've been binge watching them for a week or so now and your style is so fresh lol. Idk if you'll even read this but keep up the good work!

Another great video. I very much look forward to the philosophical speeches about the hubris of man. Keep it up.
