Unofficially, thanks for a million subscribers! I love you
And we love you too, frog man!
Good job. 👍
Congrats amphib! You deserve it man your vid’s are amazing!!
You deserve it
A million you welcomes brother
I can't believe I voted for this mayor on a platform of clean energy, only for him to turn around and build coal plants a mere eighty four years into his first term.
German "Green Economy" in a nutshell.
I really dislike the coal power plant in SC4. You know, even Battersea powerplant in London already had scrubbers back in the 1930s and did not emit soot into the atmosphere.
I always wanted to make a BAT scrubber annex (like SimCity 5 style) to the coal powerplant. Scrubs the air and it generates revenue - that's right. In real life coal scrubbers use limestone to capture the sulphur and turn into gypsum for making plaster, and the ash can be turned into bricks.

Someone keeps messaging me that is using your picture that I won a pc
A great documentary on the history of the Netherlands, thank you!
Can't wait until we turn into a big square in the north sea.
Oh no rly 🥺☹️😦
🤣🤣 Wenn Holland nicht wär, läg‘ Aachen am Meer. (If the Netherlands didn’t exist, the city Aachen would next to the ocean)
I was just about to comment this, but alas, I am too slow (by 7 hours)
I for one am rooting for their eventual victory over the ocean
If some die, it's a tragedy.
If millions die, that's Sim City.

I love how even AA can't resist the pathalogical need to say "Challenge Everything" just like everyone who grew up with these games.

i love you too
i love all these simcity challenges, because it seems like no matter what it is they wind up independently re-creating the arc of 20th century american urban development
You have reached a very important insight about Sim City! From this, you could come to related conclusions regarding other popular games, if you were so inclined.
@@TheSoulHarvester pokemon is the prophecy of the crow and octopus uprising
I know this is meant to be a funny observation but it turns out this is true--SimCity was designed to run by 1980's standards of manufacturing and social progress. You literally CAN'T win the game without exploiting an impoverished underclass and then gentrifying the fuck out of it
Ambiguousamphibian is so good at “challenge runs/starts” that even his UA-cam channel growth was insanely efficient. Congrats on the 1M and keep up the great content.
Is he going to plunge us under the sea too???
The end caught me slightly off-guard.
13/10 would Reconcile again.
The beginning made me really appreciate the kind of subtle storytelling that can be done with simply the geography you create in a fictional world. Taking the time to make it a volcano that eroded rather than just raising the ground up. It's the little things.
I do appreciate how ominous "reconciling the edges" sounds. Like it's truly some great, cataclysmic event.
it honestly is. And it doesn't just affect edges when you hit it. It demolished my MLB stadium and all of my monorail stations even though they were no where near the edge of the map. It's really is the "f*** it, I'm bored" button.
30 thousand casualties in an instant
I know a lot of gaming youtubers with amazing voices but no one has a voice so hauntingly beautiful, flowing like an endless stream of melancholy and yet strangely energized. AA should be narrating Gothic novels but here we are
Wow, now that you say that,.you're right!
5 seconds in and I'm already laughing my head off. "cHaLLenGe evErYtHinG..." Oh, it's beautiful.
Omg. It killed me too. I need a clip of that just to hear it whenever I want.
I think he said 'charge everything'
@@yaboi8940 “charge for everything”
AA once again drowns his subscribers with love like the metaphorical water that killed millions this video. Also happy 1 mil, you deserve it!
I started classes today and my sociology teacher sounds exactly like you so I imagine his lectures about culture and society as a sims video of yours and i have to admit it makes the class more interesting
You can tell when AA's doing a seablock (adjacent) challenge by how unhinged he sounds in the first few seconds of the video.
That "ChAlLeNgE eVeRyThInG" told me all I needed to know.
I find it hilarious how often in city builder games the only available mode of personal transportation is cars on paved roads, even when the island you're building on is so tiny you could cross it foot in minutes.
Id like to see a tiny island run again, but it has to stay a kind of small island, like 20x20 squares in size or something. Just to see how high tech and big you can make it.
I don't know what kind of person I am for laughing so hard at the end, really enjoyed this "island" challenge. A big congratulations on 1 million, very well deserved.
oh no! our edges! reconciled! i love your editing and commentary for these videos and how much nostalgia there is in them. wish they were longer!
I like how scared and unsure you sounded as you said “challenge everything” ❤️
The square looked weird. People had to die to correct it.
That is life. (Or more specifically death, the end of life.)
The subtext to this video is amazing. The transition from agriculture to the industrial revolution, the inability to give up dirty industry just to enrich ourselves, the eventual comeuppance from rising sea levels… beautifully executed.
I love that every SimCity video eventually nose-dives into apocalyptic choices. I could watch these all day
This was by far the best 'blowing air out my nose under great pressure' video of yours I have seen in a little bit. Loved it. Also, your EA voiceover in the beginning was stunningly perfect.
Sim city 4 was probably the greatest sim city ever. Literally has branching paths and everything, maybe even more so than the last one they ever made
I love that you include music from the game soundtrack, it's so nostalgic and also a great musical score
Poetic, Funny, Political, Nostalgic, Entertaining...
All carried by great narration and script.
Genius work right there, thanks, I love those, keep'em coming!!!!
Big shouts for reaching the fabled one million subscribers, Ambiguous Amphibian. Your content is refreshingly chaotic with a very special twist bespoke to you.
While I ask that you keep this awesome content coming, remember to do so at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I’ve seen far too many UA-camrs “take a break” due to fatigue or burnout, only to never return.
Just take care of yourself. People like me will be happy to wait.
I’m very happy with this Sims/SimCity kick you’ve been on. Congrats on the 1 million!
Showing the mistakes really makes it clear how hard it is to finish these challenges. Sometimes when watching someone who knows how to deal with certain conditions makes it looks far easier than it really is.
Man, I always perceived you as a niche Zomboid UA-camr, crazy that you're already at 1 million. You deserve it though, keep up the good content and stay ambiguous
You're content is incredibly good. Greetings and love from Germany.
Grüße
I've got to say, The Sims 1 build music makes me feel more emotion than any song I've heard before
That was wonderful! I was cheering at the end. Best romance plotline I've seen this week.
I would enjoy watching you play openttd changing a small, mountainous island into the most efficient system physically possible to cram in such a small space
I generally laugh a lot with your videos, but this one's the first that also gave me existential anguish. WELL DONE!
Congrats on 1 mill!! So deserved, I was instantly hooked on your content from the first video I watched - can't wait to see where you go from here ^^
That ending, he knew I was happy at the screams. Thank you for your hard work.
Just discovered your channel today and I’m so happy I did. It’s so entertaining and I could easily see you working in land development/city planning based off of this and your rollercoaster typhoon vid
I'm loving these Sims challenge videos ❤️
I like it when his madness starts blinking through. Love you too
You deserve every one of those subscribers. The voice, the mood, it’s so different and interesting.
I still love this game so much. As old as it is now, the music, atmosphere, mods, and just how much of an open city building game it was makes this still one of the best city building games of all time!! It is so intrinsic and complex!!! It's still amazing! SimCity 4 will always and forever be in my heart, memory, and my childhood. :)
I don't know why, but I really enjoy your 10 minute video format. Nice little entertaining bite sized videos that are easy to digest and leave the viewer satisfied, and possibly questioning the meaning of life afterwards. Good stuff 🐴👍
This channel truely has the best content ever! Its so creative.
I was just playing SimCity 4 this morning, so this was a nice surprise. Fantastic work as always.
I love these Sim City vids. I played this game so much as a kid, and these videos are a perfect mix of AA's halarious and clever storytelling, and raw nostalgia 👌
That ending had me laughing. Thanks AA, it's been a rough month and I needed that.
Pollution in EVIL, so anyways I taxed the poor and dirty and burned down a block, then changed my mind about pollution anyways. Good to have a new AA video. Also, congrats on a million bro!
You tell the best stories in your videos, I'm always so eager to see what happens!
Love your videos yo, my favorite SimsCity game is still "Societies" I absolutley loved laying buildings down specifically one at a time rather than by sections. It actually gave more realism when it comes to city layout; & the I absolutley love the different types of cities you could make. I really wish someone would come out with a new version of it.
Love you too AA, and yes I am pleased with the screams of the damned as their lives and land crumble apart to be reclaimed by the ocean
Maybe this comment will not be read, but thank you. I've been sick since a few days and I'm listening to all your videos. They have been a great help to keep me smiling ♥
Congrats on 1,000,000!!!! and thank you for the great content always :)
Just binged most of ur content now I’m caught up to the current lore, good stuff man!
Back in my day all we had was 5 wind turbines on an island, those were the good days :(
This guy should go into politics and become real life city mayor. I don't know how about you guys but I would vote for him
It's all fun and games until the Rimworld experience kicks in and he takes a very literal interpretation of "cutting the homeless population in half".
@@AiluridaeAureus that's fine I'm not homeless UwU
I'm so glad I found this channel. All of your videos make me laugh. I've also become obsessed with base-building games thanks to you.
Your voice is really calming, thanks for posting!
9:52 yes, yes I am
10/10 would live on this island.
I love @ambiguousamphibian sultry voice and educated vernacular that gives his videos a sense of alleviation. Even though his videos are comprised of despondency.
Love your storytelling as always AA, keep up the great work.
Always amazing work! Great job, always looking forward to your next video or VOD :D
Loving these challenge videos, especially with the older Sim City games.
dude you are hilarious!! I love your playthroughs of these classic games and congrats on 1 million subs :)
Bro your videos are EXCELLENT. This had me hysterical!
i was on my break from work with my head aching so much
your videos bring much needed joy
The level of satire in this video could fill a proverbial sim ocean.
I watched your every sims video at least 10 times each. Thanks god for another one 🙏 please make more :D
really enjoying the videos man great work
aww, I feel like ambiguousamphibian understands me, as a youtube viewer, so well after seeing this video! 15/10 would watch a million more videos from this channel, lol.
Stumbling upon your videos was one of the best things that happened in my journey though UA-cam. Your narration combined with nostalgic strategy games and witty jokes is something strangely soothing.
Hopefully you can extract more juice out of Sim City and other Sim games for our entertainment. You have become my Sim drug dealer. Congrats on the million subscribers!
By the way, did you play Sim Coaster? I had fun with that.
00:30 I was so happy to hear background music from Freelancer, one of my favourite childhood games!
I love your channel. It's literally all the games I played 15 years+ ago and exactly how I played them 😂 😂 😂
your video on that 100 years sim city thing got me to break down and nestle back into simcity 4. Thank you
I remember back in the day I would bring one floppy disk to school with me each day to fill with custom buildings and mods just for this game. It was just endless fun
1. I love your Sim City/city planner videos, they are delightful. 2. You got me back into playing RimWorld, and now I shall never see the sun again.
Congrats on 1 mil subs!
As a long-time SimCity fan this was fantastic.
Congrats on the subs Sse- I mean AmbiguousAmphibian!
Congrats on the million dude, you have come a long way!
Congrats on 1 million subscribers!! This is a huge accomplishment!!
There is no UA-camr ever that I am more jealous of than ambi-amphi. The fact he makes a living playing some of my fav games of when I was younger makes me both happy and extremely angry. I used to receive so much crap being told I was "waisting my life" playing so many games that if I only kept doing it and finding a way to make money from it, I could of shoved all the crap back in everyone's face lol
Congrats on 1M!! Another great video as always! :D
Congrats on a million subs king!!! Lots of love ❤️
I rarely comment, but damn, I love these kind of videos that you make! Good script writing, keep it up man!
I knew this was going to be great from the EA impressions and as soon as I heard "Attempt #1" lmao
yoooo i remember sub you while still 40k man you deserve it Congratulation for 1m subscriber!!!
This is literally the best youtube channel ever
This went from the funniest video I've seen om along time to a very dark video in like 2 seconds lmao,
Another banger!
I adore the idea of some subway connected island, take a train to dot island and enjoy a nice high-density walkable city.
This made my heart happy.
Also well done on your content interacting with one million followers brains AA 💕 We love you as well
congrats on the 1 mil subs you definitely deserve it my ambiguous lizard friend
SimCity4 is still the best SimCity... Love to see I'm not the only one still loving it!
I subbed to you when you were at 200k to see you at 1mil brings a tear to my eye you deserve this you're so good!
Oh hey, congrats to 1.000.000!!! You earned it
Yesss please make more video's like this on this amazing game!!
this took a turn that I fully appreciate
