AA just sounds like he’s talking through a smile the whole time, im really glad he enjoys himself so much. a lot of people make videos and hates parts of it, he really seems to just enjoy everything
My first rimworld game, I played in easy mode, super immune colonist, naked brutality; landed, 5 seconds in, gets the plaque... slowly died...😂 I love rimworld
First RW game was crash landed colonists Rabid squirrel bit all my colonists, they got infected, didn't know how to draft, didn't know how to tend to wounds
I heard you mention how you wished they would put a loading bar over the infections - there's a really good mod that does exactly that called Compact Hediffs, I think you would enjoy it a lot.
Great mod, awful name. I mean only those who made mods themselves or used debug menu to cheat away an infection would know what the heck is a hediff 😅 Makes it harder to find the mod for a layman player
dude youre the reason ive got 1800 hours in rimworld, and while im sure you were a kickass teacher, youre a phenomenal entertainer and the challenges you play always have so much spirit!!!
Its kind of wild how pleasant AA is in his live streams and content. I truly love the sort of prose ridden existential type lets plays and such, but he really does exude a nice comforting vibe throughout the live sessions.
Hearing you excited to finally be able to just play the games you enjoy makes me so happy for you. I'm glad you've decided to lighten the load on yourself and get some help with video editing! I hope you have a long and wonderful career on youtube and i'll be here for it!
I cannot even begun to describe how excited I am for this playthrough!! I work a stressful job, and Rimworld is how I blow off steam in my free time 😊 Very exciting to see AA back in my favorite game!
I just want to say thank you. You changed my entire view on gaming when I found you playing Rimworld. It completely changed my taste in games. In turn my overall decision-making in life started changing. I know it sounds ridiculously unrealistic to say that someone watching another playing video games could change their life. However you changed mine in nothing short of phenomenally amazing ways. So Thank You. Thank you so much.
It's actually pretty chill just getting to see your normal personality on stream. I mean I love the persona for your regular videos, but it's nice having the variety.
Since you very briefly mentioned visiting Germany in Summer, I can very much recommend visiting Hamburg. Not just as a proud Hamburger (and also learned tour guide), BUT primarily as a person that very much appreciates both the 'old' and current culture and spirit of the city :)
I remember one time early on in Rimworld I had a huge colony ending infestation and I had this GENIUS idea to make a big structure out of wood, lead them in it and then set it on fire. Amazing idea. Didn't work though, because crazy thing, wood walls and doors get broken stupid fast...
I once wanted to set a defensive massive fire using just the natural forest. Looked very promising, but this is rimword so *of course* that's when the rain started XD
@@mirjanbouma set up a LOT of fences (takes 1 wood each), send a hauler to bring all the materials, cancel the building so all 1 units of wood droop to the floor then disallow all wood so nobody takes it out of there. Way cheaper and works like a charm! Just be careful and don't let a builder build it all as its very quick.
Having this as a background podcast, it was so f*cking hilarious hearing some guy talk about philosophy and serious sh*t while constantly hearing *POP* "SQUEEEEAAAK" in the background. XD The best.
I had no idea you were a teacher and it makes so much sense! I’m a physics teacher so I don’t have to have as much of a filter 🤦🏻♀️ Grats on the new editor situation - can’t wait to see the new (old) games coming to the channel soon!
Three cheers for John Passionman the Editor! I enjoy all the variety content but certainly miss RimWorld as well. On another note, I do find it odd that you don't like ideology. Because you like challenges and the needs of the ideologions create extra challanges on top of the basic ones. but hey, whatever you find fun to play~
I really didnt bite the your highly edited story vids. They are cool and all, but… these streams are very… friendly. You have amazing personality, and it shines through this format. Ambiguously amphibian bing is definitely on my watchlist now.
I got into this guy through his kenshi videos when he was still making them pretty regularly and I can’t believe how far he’s come since then. Love everything about all of these videos.
I think Ideology can be great but only when you feel like a campaign that is focused on your ideology, or defined by it. If that's not part of your plan then having ideologies enabled is more of an unwelcome complication and hindrance. In other words I'm glad they made the DLC, but also glad they made it optional on game start!
Gotta say i love your vids man. i throw em on when im at work and you do well to describe most scenarios. Ofcourse i look during the action😂 but i aspire to be able to speak and play at the same time its definitely a learned skill. This is a long comment. Admire ya, keep it up ❤
Ahhh yay I've missed rimworld from you! I recently got back into this game myself ^^ a thrumbo self tamed on my playthrough the other day! I've never had that happen before, it was awesome, that thing is wildly helpful during raids. Eats a crap-ton tho 😭 anyway, it's time to get comfy and enjoy this vid. Cheers, and thanks for the great content as always.
The size and difficulty of raids depends on your colony wealth more than the difficulty. If you only have one colonist, it takes a much longer time for the overall difficulty to increase because it takes that much longer to build things and collect items
LOVE to hear about the current happiness since you have brought so much entertainment, joy and laughter in my life sir! You are a wizard of words and glow with the mastery of the english language. Just keep being yourself and it will all work out. Cheers!
been a while since I've heard that lovely voice of yours my friends and I love to quote. happy to see you uploading more rimworld and zomboid videos they're my favorite! I had seen every video you had on both games and even picked up both titles, i hope you continue uploading them from time to time
1:05:37 - The way he made the art assets for the pawns (and walls) was by copying Prison Architect. He said so himself. He said he "isn't very artistic", so instead of coming up with a unique style he decided to make it similar to PA, which was simple and easy to understand.
32 and got into academics last year, into my second year right now. It's got it's negatives, but the positive out weigh them! I work in a molecular biology lab doing graduate level research.
I found you from rimworld, youtube reced said spiffing britt is watching this channel so i was like good enough for spiff good enough for me and im glad i clicked its been a good few years now im subbed to main channel
To this day, I STILL make all my initial colonists full passions/zero skills. AA, check out the Better Spike Traps mod and if you don't consider it too op you might want to use it. It allows you to put two traps next to each other.
@@SirDistic I phrases my question a bit weird, in hindsight. What I meant was do you need materials to rearm them (like in vanilla, basically rebuild) or are they truly reusable?
@@mirjanbouma Well you need materials to build it then materials to rearm it. But the cost is like 15 instead of 45 or whatever. I just use wood unless I'm on a biome with little to no wood.
I always loved your Torsolo series with Kenshi. I don't play it anymore but I still like rewatching the series because of the story telling experience.
If John Connor's name was Blaxthorius Jammathor, the terminator would only have to track down the one Sarah Jammathor listed in the phone book. His name had to be generic for the movie to happen.
As a Celcius person I have memorized 3 simple farenheit conversions which approximate the temprature in farenheit. 1 degree difference C is 2 degree difference F, 0C or freezing point of water is 30F and 40C is 100F. It's not very accurate but it's close enough. 90F is 35C, 80F is 30C, 50F is 10C, 10F is -10C are all simplified conversions that are easy to remember. using just those first 3.
I subscribed to Prepare Carefully because of AA, but another mod I found which I like better is Prepare Moderately... I never figured out Prepare Carefully's point system (which is probably just Rimworld's point system), but with prepare moderately, I can set certain parameters and the pawns roll themselves. For example, I have one that I use: No bad traits, limitations or health issues. Melee skill above 6. Must have Nimble *and* Tough. I can sit back and look at my phone while the mod goes through literally hundreds of thousands of pawns for me. Normal pawns take like 2 minutes at the most, but if you have some time, you can get just about anything you want. I always had trouble getting something "realistic" when I was able to edit everything... but now I can get someone who is a psychically hypersensitive jogger with a passion for social and not feel bad about it.
hey aa just noted on your playthrougs you are scared of psychite and other weak drugs but the "adiction chance" only works when you consume that drug while on tolerance, for first dose you have to look random addition chance which for low tier drugs its usually none and also it says it's safe consumption interval
Usually i only ever hop online to educate myself.... but i do enjoy coming on to watch some of your content once in awhile. Im not gonna tell you which videos i watch because its actually quite random, but the livestream rimworld is enjoyable, but im never here to watch it live, so yeah
i know it might be alot to ask but if you put the mods that you use in the discription that would be great because i love to install all the mods and play along i just think its very fun to do and it helps to expand the mod list love your vids and streams tho keep it up
Hey AA have you considered revisiting the 100 colonist ant farm. I really enjoyed the concept and I think Ideology and Biotech introduce a lot of new ways to make the strategy work (or at least make it interesting)
The minigun has forced miss,but I find it's really good against large numbers of unarmored targets on open terrain, where you don't have to worry about collateral damage
i'l honestly surprised to hear this man talk about getting hate been watching for years at this point i don't understand how anyone could be a hater towards him
i was just thinking about doing a playthrough with 0 skills all passions, but with a tribe. but first i wanted to cook something to eat, so i put on youtube to watch when i cook, and look at the video the mindreading youtube algorithm recommends for me. its even a 2 month old video. but now i want to do it like this.
Love your content man I found you from the bannerlord release stream or something like that love watching you play my favorite games and listen to your banter top tier youtuber
Oh, no! I was one of thoes people who complained about myself getting distracted by the sub shout outs. It's not to say don't do it, but as a person with ADHD, names without context just distract me disproportionately. I learned to get over it for your VOD channel, but since you were looking for feedback, it is a thing some struggle with.
Regarding the whole "Please put your toe into my drink, it will make it taste better. Well, it doesn't have to be your toe." joke... Search for the Sourtoe Cocktail of Dawson City. The bar that serves it is on their second human toe after the first was swallowed in 2013.
Rimworld and AA is just like goat status. Not a single rimworld video misses, he’s what got me into this game.
Literally the exact same thing, I'm actually on my way to finish the game for the first time today!

This is too agreeable
ah, the return to AA's early career. I missed rimworld.
"Career" he says - I'm blushing
@Atomic Heart 🅥 Nobody was looking for this.
@@ambiguousamphibian The Saga of Torsolo stole my heart
So true, I loved his rimworld games
@@weckar it's a spambot. The fake checkmark is adead giveaway
My first rimworld game, I played in easy mode, super immune colonist, naked brutality; landed, 5 seconds in, gets the plaque... slowly died...😂 I love rimworld
lol. Bro landed right on the plague.
should've brushed your teeth
Super immune doesn’t cover preexisting conditions
First RW game was crash landed colonists
Rabid squirrel bit all my colonists, they got infected, didn't know how to draft, didn't know how to tend to wounds

Great mod, awful name. I mean only those who made mods themselves or used debug menu to cheat away an infection would know what the heck is a hediff 😅

dude youre the reason ive got 1800 hours in rimworld, and while im sure you were a kickass teacher, youre a phenomenal entertainer and the challenges you play always have so much spirit!!!

Late reply but any chance we could know more?
Did he teach you to fumble verbosely, yet carefully through life?
It's actually pretty chill just getting to see your normal personality on stream. I mean I love the persona for your regular videos, but it's nice having the variety.
Up is not jump and AA becoming friends over both being teachers is so wholesome
Since you very briefly mentioned visiting Germany in Summer, I can very much recommend visiting Hamburg. Not just as a proud Hamburger (and also learned tour guide), BUT primarily as a person that very much appreciates both the 'old' and current culture and spirit of the city :)
23:45 thats the sweetest ive ever heard someone be called an idiot before omg

I remember one time early on in Rimworld I had a huge colony ending infestation and I had this GENIUS idea to make a big structure out of wood, lead them in it and then set it on fire. Amazing idea.
Didn't work though, because crazy thing, wood walls and doors get broken stupid fast...
The idea is solid, just gotta make the floor out of wood and the walls and doors out of stone
@@Hakasedess and add in some wooden furniture. Francis John has done this with raids to great effect
I once wanted to set a defensive massive fire using just the natural forest. Looked very promising, but this is rimword so *of course* that's when the rain started XD

God I love the rimworld stuff, something about rimworld is just so entertaining to watch
No way. I JUST got back into RimWorld. And now AA uploads? Yeah, convince me we aren't in the matrix. LETS GO!
god same, I just started a new colony 2 days ago after not playing for months
truly serendipitous
Cnanda *IS* Rimworld. Only in Canada, or possily Austrailia, would a horde of carnivorous beavers be a possibility.

1400 applications for editor?! That’s awesome, congrats! You get what you earned, plain and simple.
I mean he has a million subs so its not that much
Very excited to see you return to the well of Rimworld once more
And solo runs are always incredibly interesting to watch
I missed this livestream, but am so excited to watch it through! I love your rimworld content.
Never thought i'd get an audio clip of AA yelling "STOP. PRAYING."
I had no idea you were a teacher and it makes so much sense! I’m a physics teacher so I don’t have to have as much of a filter 🤦🏻♀️ Grats on the new editor situation - can’t wait to see the new (old) games coming to the channel soon!

AA, I didn't get to catch the stream but watching this back has been a blast. Here's to more fun to come!
I got into this guy through his kenshi videos when he was still making them pretty regularly and I can’t believe how far he’s come since then. Love everything about all of these videos.
loving seeing this channel grow! keep up the great content AA
'Welcome everybody, I'm AA - Uh, I have a LOT of issues.." lol
RimWorld! I've been revisiting RimWorld lately glad to see some new content.
Hearing AA say that he looks breedable was not on my 2023 bucketlist, yet I am grateful to have experienced it all the same.
I would love to see more of John passionman in the future if you have time. It was a fun and chill time.
Ah yes. Good ol Rimmy, love it!
Such a wholesome dude. Glad you’ve been in a good mood!

Yeah sips has got me back on a RimWorld kick recently too
Also, you can cook over a campfire, if you didn't know. Im not sure if it decreases work speed or yield, but it's a lot cheaper than building a stove
The fact that a colonist will willingly walk into a spike trap, even though it only has a 2% trigger rate against friendlies, is poor game design
