The red conversation option for pacifists makes me laugh every time
_"You will be our friends whether you want to or not"_
We will show them our peaceful ways... By force!
Literally the Tau
steven universe in space
My democratic pacifist nation of stone dragons has done this once. See, our neighbors were plant fascists and the sluglord crown. Both naturally tried time and again to annex our world, for we were placed at the only pathway to a fifth of the galaxy.
Alongside another militant kingdom, many a rebel faction and primitive species had to rapidly develop technology (often funded by us) to flee what would otherwise be slavery or genocide, and we welcomed them with open arms.
When the Great Robot Intelligence with which we have a defensive pact with to decided to punch and forcefully assimilate the fascists, we wound up invading the sluglord kingdom, and deposed their king. While regretful at the damage and loss of life, we soon wrote a federational agreement to ally with, support, and rebuild the slugs as a democratic nation.
Though there is concern over the power of the Great Intelligence, we have forseen greater dangers in the next century, and will devote ourselves to building up our nation to weather and protect the diversity of the galaxy, as has been foretold by the Holy Guardians.
Inst the Blorg?
FRIENDSHIP IS MANDATORY
We lost literally everything, but we have the moral high ground.
This is why Ghandi kept nukes
His Hidden agenda is nuke happy afterall lol
If we all get nuked, we will all be the same
based?
Words backed by nuclear weapons are best words
damn that was funny to watch
I laughed out loud when the lizards politically fractured into 3 factions with almost identical ideologies.
As if that doesn't happen normally in the real world.
separated only by their willingness to get vaccinated against a space virus
@@swankypants9366 the judean peoples front will have you know we are radically different from the peoples front of judea, thank you very much
@@internetdumbass But what about the Front of Judean Peoples?
One faction was pro alien one was anti robots/pro spiritualism and one was anti war
AA : Don't mind the icons, it's too complicated for anyone to understand
Me who has gone over 150 years into the game and owned a third of a galaxy : Correct, do not try, only hope.
Im 700 hours deep into the game and its starting to make sense!
And yet Stellaris is simple and accessible compared to other Paradox games...
I had to take an online course when first getting into EU4.
@@MadsenTheDane That's just what your ever smoothing brain is telling you.
@@7Rendar In other words, extremely shallow.
@@MadsenTheDane just wait until they update it again and change the whole thing

The important thing to remember about lava is that it's hot if you get really, really close, but the area all around the lava is totally safe and not very hot at all, pretty much. Yep!
i've been waiting for you to get to stellaris, literally the only game i know of where you can force people (through violence) to accept pacifism.
I say the whole galaxy shall learn of our peaceful ways. B Y F O R C E
Or force peaceful and prosperous societies to give up luxuries like sufficient food and housing and become theocratic enslavers where everyone is desperately unhappy, toiling in the salt mines to flavour your steaks. Because wars of liberation and vassalisation are available to the militarists, too.
Or seize their people to become steaks. Livestock slavery. Paradox.
@@archapmangcmg they're called HUMAN rights for a reason
@@DepressedCrow
And the xenos never signed the geneva convention either...
Some people like to be passive aggressive. I prefer to be aggressively passive.
Paradox guys be like: This dude is doing lots of videos about suffering, torture, war crimes, cannibalism and violence. He is the perfect man to advertise our E-rated game.
In that perspective stellaris can be much, much worse than any other game.
@@dinamosflams
Even rimworld? I mean sure, the SCALE is bigger in stellaris, but in rimworld you can watch a little pawn you've grown attached to get kidnapped, eaten, or cut the organs out of another little pawn-person.
The game has all of those things, but it's abstract, and therefore fine for kids.
Its not like young kids can understand what this game means
Stellaris actually has some pretty messed up concepts if you sit back and read some event material. Including religious sacrifice, forced assimilation, t*rrorism, g*nocide, racism (and xenophobia), and countless events talking about science experiments going horribly, horribly wrong. Honestly its right up his alley when you put it in that perspective 🤣
Rated E for everyone
I’m assuming you mean “everyone is either traumatized or dies”
my fleet of star eaters are rated E for Everything ;)
Yes, the sentient life forms I have converted into food producing livestock are rated E, for everyone to consume
One planet fill with prisoners with job
@@comet.x *Sad stellaris console sounds*
This is similar to my fanfiction (the everyone is either traumatized or dies part) but instead of being 8+ (8 years old and up) it’s 10+ (10 years old and up).
"A democratic people so that we would never get anything done.." I actually died laughing..lol.
Haha wow guys he actually died lol
@@tacticalpossum7090 you're laughing? he actually died and you're laughing?
it's sad everyone is giving up on democracy nowadays, rather than fighting to build better democracies.
@@SolarFlareAmerica Democracies are Oligarchies, true democracy can't be achieved.

He chose the genocidal space geckos for peace, how ironic
I feel like he has to know. It’s too perfect.
DR TYGAN WHERE IS THAT ARMOR RESERACH I REQUESTED?!?!?
“I selected the most lovable, adorable species.”
**Picks Prikki-ti, literally genocidal in the lore**
Priki-ti-ki a extremely xenophobic herbivore lizard....... meaning they definitely kill us at given chance....
@@Mr-Ad-196 But they look so adorable :3
I thought they were Gecko nation.
@@theblackbaron4119 yes cute enough......I think one of em killed a senior staff child or something and afterwards they aren't allowed as pet.........
I expected him to go on a xenocide since he picked them.
Absolute Gandhi-kissed content. Peace and prosperity for all, Namaste.
Funny... this video doesn't look like a 13-15 year old girl.....
An absolutely scholarly reference
Nukes of peace
Lmao, love that reference. Makes me wanna watch that playthrough again XD
Cease the means of production my friends. And make a society of peace and prosperity.
He did it. He played Stellaris as a true pacifist.
And got immediately vassalized because he hasn't learned you have to expand as quick as possible.
Yeah, he didnt connect any of his settlements early on either.
Yeah you need to rush a Federation if you plan on ignoring your military. You need someone to protect you and being vassals will you lose you the game if you get integrated.
Yes we shall follow his belifs
I always play Xenophobic psychopath and build wide
@@ST-ly8uf boring
I remember doing a pacifist run once. 200 years of no war acheivement. Not because I was good at being a pacifist, but because my fleet was bigger. Most boring race I played.
I did the same thing once, but ~10 years before I got the achievement the War in Heaven started. I couldn't be bothered to try again
Oof
I tried a couple of pacifist runs but all I keept getting were empire's like fanatic purifiers and the like. The one last I did that was what all but one of 10, which was a hive mind, were either swarm or purifiers.
I just wonder if their is bias in the empire picks or my luck is just bad as I have had many megacorp runs where 8 megacorps and no one else.
Yeah I've been thinking of just setting up a Scion empire on a tiny galaxy to just fast forward to 2400 and get the achievement but it might still take too long haha.
🤔 I have OCPD and the build phase and management phase is always my favourite in these games.
Family building and management for CK, Grand strategic plans and force compositions or army templates for HoI, Colonization and mission completion combined with tag swapping for Eu4.
Don't get me wrong, I like fighting now and then and "sitting down" brash loudmouths, but I probably wouldn't think the situation as boring as many others would
You play as pacifists to be friend of everyone. I play as pacifists to harvest their organs. We are not the same
You play as Pacifists to make peace with everyone. I play as Pacifist to make sure everyone is peaceful. We are not the same.
In this game, as a Pacifist, you can abduct their people.
You can also freedomize your enemies, breaking off a chunk to give to rebels you bankroll. So very American.
But the best trick? Become friends with a militarist, form an alliance, and laugh as he drags your 'defense' fleets into half a dozen wars.
@@JoshSweetvale OMG America would never do this
You play as xenophobic militarists to purge the stars of xenos. I play as xenophobic pacifists to keep xenos off my lawn or else. We are not the same.
@@ananousous American: looks to the hidden camera and smiles smugly
There's an episode of M*A*S*H where Radar signs up for a sham literary school and starts using unnecessary adverbs and adjectives constantly. I just realized AA has an uncanny resemblance to the cadence Radar was using in that episode but in AA's case it's relaxing instead of hilarious.
"Alas, alak! The peaceful quietness was detonated by a herd of chopper that was transportising punctured personnel. But our gallant doctors, the miracle medical mortals, are ever ready to treat the sick. The wounded were aided copiously by super-smart surgeons whose knowledge is superseded by nobody I know." --Radar
the correct word for this is "verbose" I, in my most humblest opinion of the greatest minds to ever walk this beautiful Earth , believeth so.
Rob said tranquility is through the door. I say thanks Aa for showing us that door for you are the key that unlocks that door to that shows us so much more opportunities to be grateful.
The fragmented and cursed nature of your empire causes me physical pain.
Well done sir!
But, it's physical peaceful pain, right?
@@seymour47 that goes without saying
Playing a pacifist has a knack. You need kindness, guile, and planet splitting weaponry.
"There is no shame in deterrence having a weapon is very different from actually using it." -Ghandi before nuking the whole world into oblivion.
Maybe not planet crackers, just put a shield around them, let the people thousandsnof years from now deal with those racists
I too sought peace in my playthrough, peace through death, destruction and repopulation with robots. All worlds became machine worlds and there was peace across the Galaxy. The machines did not fight amongst themselves like the filthy fleshy ones, as the machines were many and also one.
Ah so you were the brotherhood of nod
I for one welcome our new Geth overlords.

ok but did they have butts?
@@lostgem8225 Many but one, but also many more... :)
Stellaris:Rated E for everyone
Also stellaris: Has option to setence entire species to slavery or genocide
Also Stellaris: has an option to eat sentient species, crack whole planets in half, AND LITERALLY ANIHILATE ALL LIFE IN THE GALAXY BY ASCENDING TO GODHOOD
Big deal
is it not more fun that way?
Slavery, it’s E for everyone.
Well naturally; In Stellaris, slavery and genocide are for everyone.

The funds from this video will finance an exorbitantly expensive Thanksgiving dinner composed mostly of exotic reptiles I found on my trip to Florida. Thank you Paradox
Or else what? Stab me?
Controversial Opinion :
Ambiguousamphibian is just wowcrendor from a shakespearean parallel universe.
Yes hello fellow amfibian I breath air
I love that you're getting sponsors now, you deserve all the success!
How dare you assume my sentience, AA!
Those "cute little aliens" as you called them is actually the potrait used by one of the most evil and racist lil factions in the game which can spawn and make your life a living hell xD
Whaddup with all the likes dafuq go enslave some aliens instead of reading youtube comments
The prikki-ti sure turned around on their ways
This doesn't mean they're NOT cute, though.
ecks dee
they remind me of the geck because they are so cute but they are megacapitalists
Never trust a space lizard.
“We may not have an empire anymore, but we have the moral high ground.” What a quote.
*aa:* i select the cutest portrait-
*me:* oh those cute molluscs with the happy little faces!
*aa:* [picks prikkiki-ti]
*me, crying:*
I use moded races but I feel your pain. They're easily the cutest of the default races. With the moths and Prikkiki-ti being after it though (Despite the later being canonically genocidal ... ironic for a pacifist.)
I remember trying to teach my friend the difference between different kinds of slavery after he had to deal with a slave rebellion cause he set his slaves to chattel instead of domestic ahhh good old kids game
All I can see right now is that meme of the Dude overexplaining things LOL.
This guys voice is almost nostalgic from when he played kenshi. His voice is also damn near soothing and comforting.
Please do more kenshi...
Kenshi with the Genesis mod would be dope
More over the holidays, Okran willing
@@ambiguousamphibian See, for me, the holidays are all about that Narko
@@ambiguousamphibian YESSS thank you sir
Waiting for more Kenshi with bated breath.
The way AA makes videos, turns a 12- 13 minute video into felling like a 30-45 minute video. Truly a talented amphibian.
You know, given the track record of pacifism in Stellaris, I'm surprised that AA didn't start a war to purge the xenos.
Who knew Geico could help you save money on your car insurance AND pacifiying a universe
And in less than 15 mins at that, Happy Holidays
Having played stellaris since they released Utopia I still do not recognize some symbols and all i can say is I have done nothing but play a min max style since nemesis released but this has truly inspired me to become an empire that will "peacefully" appropriate land and resources so that we may achieve true transcendence into a higher plane of pacifism
“When it came to choose an Advisor, i think its obvious what i choose”
*Intensly clicks Communism*
We may not have an empire anymore, but we have the moral high ground.
As a Swede I can relate to this video.
Swedes have never had any moral highground, the world still awaits answers on what you're doing with all those moose in the long dark winters..
@@lookbach I agree on the first part...
@@lookbach A gentleman does not question, a gentleman does not answer. It is between a gentleman and his beloved moose.
Well, we might've lost Finland, Åland, Pommerania, Estonia and finally Norway but damn, when i sit down in my 100% locally sourced beige wool blanket and enjoy a couple of fairtrade vegan bean-paste meatballs after a long day of electric scootering I think that it isn't that bad after all. It's not easy having the moral high ground, the air is pretty thin up here. If only more people were as good as me but, then again, not everyone can be the bestest.
@@apotato6278 This guy gets it :D
You have the best narrative voice, both literally and metaphorically. I'm convinced you can make most any subject sound simultaneously like 5D chess and a soothing story.
I lost it at "My first species, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
Ya know watching this as someone who plays Stellaris is actively painful yet equally as entertaining
It just dawned on me that Stellaris is rated E for everyone....
The game that allows you to actually RP as Adolf Hitler and build Concentration camps and exterminate all life....
I love it.
It's all in good fun
I tried to RP as Adolf Hitler. My neighbors managed to be even more evil. "Bro I just wanted to enslave and slowly exterminate you, why are you farming and eating sentient creatures?"
@@calebsmith1548 Lmao true. The game can let you play even worst. Especially when you get into the modding scene.
I guess E for Everyone includes the fascists. Who knew?
@@abebuckingham8198 Ha! That's funny.
"Pretty much every single thing in this game has a lizard in charge of it." Much like real life.
If you arent great at critical thinking
@@aevum6667 With that face I wouldn't be suprised, probably a stoner
@@aevum6667 imagine invoking critical thinking as an insult replying to a meme...70 IQ move booger eater.
Stellaris fits your style quite well. Keep the poetic commentary coming you thoughtful froggy!
I love when the two political parties formed and had the same ideas it remind me of the scene in futurama where with the two clones running for presidents
Wasn't it 6+ before? So turning people into food was okay, but adding dolphins required 10+?
Yeah well you need a PhD to know how to play.
It only makes sense, dolphins are the monsters of the seas
I'm having Nam flashbacks to UberDanger's Ghandicus Spore video. Let's see if these guys have any better luck.
This was so good. Last video on Stellaris I saw was from Spiff and his approach was...."Noone can hear warcrimes in space..." The serenity of this content is enlightening.
4:03 thank you for the 40k refrence
“Our only aspiration, like that of the Tau, was the greater good.”
Oh god, this isn’t gonna end well.
It brings me great amounts of joy that you are playing stellaris I hope you replay it again with mods or other empires
One world, united under forced pacifism
The old masters lead me to this place, and for that I thank them.
We thank Torsolo for giving us the peace to accept worldly desires and limbs and to live a life free from needs and wants. We thank the lizardmen for bestowing on us the patience and wisdom to fight with peace and love. We thank Gerald Williams for granting us insight into how the fruits of labor can bring joy and prosperity.
Happy Thanksgiving
Each AA video is a glimpse into a beautiful, highly educated ADHD mind. And I'm living for it.
For the first time in a very long while I literally laughed out loud *when the fire nation attacked*.
bravo, space cowboy.
I loved how you described megacorporations! They are my favorite to play.
Well this is an unexpected but welcome surprise! I have a feeling you'd enjoy things like clone army death cult if you're into making more content for this game, that one gets pretty interesting
Or clone army + shared burdens/reanimators for necromancer clone communists
or just clones I guess idk I just think they're neat
edit: also your editing brings A LOT of improvement for watching this game, it's super refreshing
Perfect AA video to watch before sleeping. Bless you brother.
I know this isn’t a Kenshi video but I just want to thank you for playing Kenshi, you have got me to start playing it, and I love it
Really appreciate the effort you put into sound and its harmony
Yup he explores new shores and makes my day
Cheers mate ❤
Ooo tasty. Stellaris is always some good stuff. Love that the multi-player carries dlc some from the game host.
Noobert?! The prophets truly are gathered
Legitimately just started playing stellaris these past two weeks, was overjoyed to see youd done a vid on it
The correct way to use Fanatic Pacifism:
Make allies and goad enemies into attacking you. Bismarck antics.
Ambiguousamphibian: "The book says don't hit back."
Indeed. Pacifists can claim a lot in a defensive war.
Also reforming your gov is a valid option if you absolutely have to attack. It's a government policy, not a suicide pact!
Hey AA, have you seen/played Battle Brothers?
I think you'd enjoy it, and it could fit into your content genre fairly well. It's a game where you build a mercenary gang during medieval times. The combat gameplay is turn based with an overworld that's real time. You slowly gain a larger party until you get wiped, it's ironman by default.
Haven't watched you since getting engaged glad to hear that relaxing voice again
Congratulations!
The slight break in your voice at 0:21 already has me balling.
Now that you included that ambiguous amphibian cartoon on top of your voice over its all I see when in hear your voice. That is what you actually look like in my mind
simply beautiful, your first few hours is almost as great as your first 1000. (edit: might i fix the title and say "Stellaris: Militarist, Xenophobe is for everyone" )
they make great ships for the true pacifist which allow you to fly to another world and encase that world in a protective bubble shield keeping them safe inside forever.....whether they like it or not
0:54 He's guided by friendship and love and no deltoid muscles to speak of... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My bad, that neck got super powers..
I love this channel 🤣🤣🤣
Your story telling skills in this are fantastic, love the vid.
First time I played I went with fanatic pacifists, because i thought I would just get by on diplomacy and trade… I laughed so hard all the way through this, knowing where it would inevitably end. Stellaris is a war simulator with only marginal diplomacy/trade features.
The worker is the best advisor voice, I made a whole civilization around it
Fira Na-Seter will always be remembered. The first true enlightened lizard, Kant would've been proud watching his universal history unfolding throughout the galaxy in the hands of the lizardmen species.
Sometimes empires which like you propose vassalisation to quard you from other empires.
Its not always a sign of agression, you can safely reject it.
the problem is, you forgot the sacred rule: if you want peace, prepare for war.
Can’t believe he’s a 40k fan. He truly is based.
the way you described and played your empire made me laugh so much,it was physically painful,i love it
"I selected the most lovable, adorable species"
*chooses the same portrait as the Prikkiki-Ti*
Who is gonna tell aa?

Rated E?!?!
No no no no no, Stellaris is most definitely a 4X game in the truest of senses:
eXplore
eXpand
eXterminate all
Xenomorphs!
A Stellaris game is never complete without any xenocide!
Bring out the exterminatus button and the holy flamer!!!
YES BROTHER! FOR THE EMPEROR!
You 40k larpers are the definition of cringe. It makes me glad our kind will never meet alien life at all sentient enough to form an empire.
Xenocide is a harsh word like to call it lag reducer
I love your commentary, you make me feel like I'm learning spiritual lessons about myself and I'm also laughing
After watching a few of these videos im surprised I am only now finding this channel. Ez sub. Keep it up :D
I adore your narration, such a lovely voice with a playful undertone:)
I love this. That fade to white transition killed my eyes though.
I just must say, the intro is fantastic
This is genuinely my favorite video of yours, hilarious.
I bought this yesterday and have been going through tutorial videos. This is the best by far
after binging his videos for few hours mention of greater good made me finally subscribe. Such a great narrating voice on him
Blorg is the only way to play. Inviting space friends to join your club, sending your "friendships" to convince them if they say no, and name your planets stuff like Blorg, Blorg 2:Electric Blorgaloo, Blorg 3:Blorg Harder, Blorg 4:Blorgus Journey, ect.
You made this game incredibly entertaining for me to watch. I don't usually like Stellaris content, but I will binge if you make a series of this
"If there's a ship, there's a lizard to be found there" wow... Inspirational
This is one of your best videos yet. Keep on amazing me Mr. Amphibian.
holy crap; the intro had a crow caw sound...that I swear came from behind me. i got spooked by it! [pretty low end headset...usually doesn't get me like that.]
(speaks in Ambiguous Amphibian voice) Oh this music, it reminds me, reminds me of the tale of Tor-soooolo the White and of the Tor-squad, in their never ending quest to rid the world of Kenshi from the evils of slavery. Let me regale to you their story friends. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
I especially love that he choose lizards which is usually computer generated as some madman that tries to kill everybody
The Tau reference, officially my favorite youtuber now
"I bring you love" It's bringing love! Don't let it get away; break its legs!
I love these simulator type game contents,I've been watching Let's Game It Out but he uploads after like every few weeks
Glad to find other channels
This voice sounds like a synthesized Carl Sagan and I love it. Subscribed.
ahh yes one of my favorite youtubers that can help me get some sleep with that soothing voice. thank you kind sir, thank you.
I'm not going to lie, a solid handful of some of the words you use in your "Ambiguous poetry" are beyond me.
0:49 someone's going to meet the Prikki-ti.
I once best the Stellaris lategame disaster without building ships, started with a faction and just unified everyone and gave them alloys
without building military vessels I should specify
