Spiff: "Maybe UA-cam should start screwing its creators." RT, who has been dealing with UA-cam crap all year to the point of using UA-cam as a curse word: "Haha, yeah."
UA-cam has become so malicious now, even censoring you in live chat without showing you and sometimes comments as well (let me know if you can see this, should be able to as its a reply) Like its not the creator moderating, had a talk with someone about it, its algorithmic suppression in the background for some bloody reason (If you minimise and reopen chat, many a message of your own will not reappear, as in it was never truly sent)
yeeeah, Spiff has gotten pretty lucky. If you look at some creators like literally every anime themed youtuber or directly monetized channels, it's been a real shitshow. At this point in time, having your own sponsors is really your best bet
I really desperately need to see the other side of this stream, this side was so calm and chill and everything went over so easy. I can only imagine how it went for the other two.
I think a vassalized nation should retain player control. Then when they meet the conditions they can rebel, but if their people like their new overlords it is harder. So basically they are forced to work to support you as with real life, but may attempt sabotage now and then.
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding, but player vassals already do retain the original player's control and depending on the agreement also pay the overlord if they set it that way. Unless you meant a suggestion relating to vassals of vassals?
I really like this split format with the general overview, and then the follow up with more details and less concern about spoilers. You gave some great tips that would make running this campaign smoother
As someone that doesn’t play or have stellaris knowledge, I really enjoy the way spiff both nerfed himself and found ways to exploit within those nerfs As I’m watching on my phone though the border makes the gameplay illegible
Even on pc its rather illegible - I'd say the border was a horrendous call, If it was to not cover up the game, congratulations its not worth seeing any of the text now anyway, if it was to show the goals, like ck3, we really didn't need that
The real twist is that by having a galaxy with just players, it essentially buffed spliffs nasty fascist empire from the beginning. They have to be stronger to counter the potential federations of factions that you'd usually find in a normal game, so the others can't benefit from the "Good" play-style, and likely were doomed from the start.
Not from the start bu Hazzor and AA were pretty screwed after around 30 minutes , they were slower to get things started and it is not easy to recover from that without a strong AI faction that might attack Spiff and RT.
Does anyone else have their youtube autoplay choose this video multiple times over the past few months despite having watched it completely multiple times.
I had it do that to me multiple times with like a 3 hour history video of like the history of the nazis or something along those lines that would autoplay while I was sleeping once whatever I had playing finished and it was weird AF. Haven't had it appear again since then but I was always so confused cause it had played thru the full thing several times at that point
I've fallen asleep to a video and woken up to this stream about 16 times now. When UA-cam knows I'm not actually watching it defaults to either Spiff or BigMooney06, my most watched channels.
To be fair, Stellaris takes a long time to play and this guy is a youtuber. Probably has to spend a majority of his time playing other games, and editing videos and such if he doesn't have an editor.
Spiff you should get the boys together to do a stream where are you exploit the specialized vassal system. Great void God only knows how broken that can get what with dedicated research vassals, dedicated resource vassals, and dedicated military vassals.
Tea Spilling Military here (forefathers): I started falling asleep bc of the time I was watching this, but you have fantastic TACT! That’s what woke me up. Damn, I’m almost positive I’m older than you, but the way you react to I imagine , maybe your boss? Is fantastic and I’ll try to take a page out of your book.
"they never said we werent allowed to exploit" I would say that should go without saying but they knew who they were playing with and that was their mistake not explicitly putting that rule in place :P
wait, wait, wait... I have seen this entire video multiple times and I just Caught some math I never did before ... Hazzor = 40 hours , AA = 29 hours that equals 69. AND Spiff - 400 hours , RTGame = 20 hours that equals 420. did anyone else catch that??? It's a battle between 420 and 69 !!! LMAO .... Unfortunately they later say RT has only 5 HOURS and ruin the math
Havent watched it yet, but i am assuming we are playing on 3.8.3, with the infinite unity exploit alive and well. After watching Montu exploit it on stream, was waiting for a Spiff “perfectly balanced” Stellaris episode for a week. Sadly, 3.8.4 has fixed that particular “feature”
It's partly because we are in a very busy time period for streamers so the fee is high. That and I need more money to fund spifftopia 2 which is a stream project that should hopefully come to fruition in December
When spif said he had lots of hours in the tone he made, I was expecting 2k+. Then he said 400. I laughed. I have 2k myself. And I dont consider that very much considering I havent played more than 100 hrs in the past year
I'm genuinely shocked that spiff only has 400hrs. He's the person who originally convinced me to play stellaris and I now have just shy of 1000 hours more than him
I'm getting real tired of Spiff playing these games(?) and making them look so fun lol. I purchased rim world after one of your play throughs and thought 'wow, this is not my game.' now I'm probably going to go get this game because it looks so dang enjoyable when he plays.
I love how all modern science fiction and fantasy games just rip off names, places and themes from older works and simply drop or add one letter as if it absolves them.
Haha Spiff taking about 400hrs as a lot. I have over 1200hrs in at least 10 games.... 20 games.... I'm gonna stop counting now. What I'm saying is I like games lol

Spiff versus ManyATrueNerd stream when?
@@tacticalpoet Great idea!
I have 1400h in ck2
As a challenge, play stellaris as a pacifist and try to conquer over 50% of the galaxy in vassals or territory. Good Luck

It seems Spiff doesnt know that the twitch changes would have made their tos the same as youtube's has been since 2015 as well.

Hazzor has a vod up. Havent watched it yet though
Spiff said he has over 400 hours. It got me curious to look at my time. A few minutes short or 1350 hours. Dang this game has sucked my life away.
@@mannmann7130 He meant "A few minutes short of 1350."
I am nearing 3000...
2650 in rimworld!!
i am about to reach 2500 hours. i am starting to question what i am doing with my life

I love this
But how do you force a human player to do that?

I really hope you have more stellaris in the works, this game is surprisingly fun to watch especially multiplayer stuff.
Would highly recommend Lathlan if you enjoy stellaris content. TOOOOONS of great stellaris over there
@@AubDenashi I recommend him too for long form stellaris. This stream really sparked that stellaris itch again so who knows :)
@@thespiffingbrit Maybe a collab with lath?
@@thespiffingbritalso Montu
37:45 The whole time Spiff is explaining the mole people event his mouse is hovering over the "nuke" button, I love it.
400 hours of stellaris? That’s like 2 full games ❤
laughs in 6600
I really like this split format with the general overview, and then the follow up with more details and less concern about spoilers. You gave some great tips that would make running this campaign smoother

Honestly I really like this stream setup. I hope there's more long form content with friends
This was epic. Love Spiff, RT and AA and very much enjoyed my intro to Hazzor. Keep it up gents!
Spiff has rookie numbers in this game. He needs to pump those house up.
“The Good Friday Space Agreement”
Burst out laughing fair play, comedy.
OMG the most British thing Spiff has ever said. Paraphrasing a bit: "Oh look survivors of the nuclear holocaust. Let's enslave them."
Does anyone else have their youtube autoplay choose this video multiple times over the past few months despite having watched it completely multiple times.

The Brit with only 400 hours made me realize how much time I’ve sunk into the game
Yeah... he's the person who originally convinced me to play the game and i now have just shy of 1k hours more than him

yeah... not a fan of the stream border, but i think there is a fix..... i think i need a bigger tv?
also im not getting any notifications of ANY streams... how do i fix?

Spiff you should get the boys together to do a stream where are you exploit the specialized vassal system.

Dan did well, after knowing what to press... though 'more military' was often called out, will be legacy.

Anyone else think that Quill 18 and AA would make for a hilarious North American team?
"they never said we werent allowed to exploit" I would say that should go without saying but they knew who they were playing with and that was their mistake not explicitly putting that rule in place :P

Jokes on you
🚀🚀
🚀🚀🚀
Space America drinks Earl Grey Coffee
"Reform the goverment, that means even more power!"
No need to ask spiff who he votes for haha
I give props for reference to the dancing sickness.
Finally I know that AA and Spiff aren't the same person
That's what they want you to think
How do you know that spiff wouldn't exploit double personality in real life hmmmmm?
wait, wait, wait... I have seen this entire video multiple times and I just Caught some math I never did before ... Hazzor = 40 hours , AA = 29 hours that equals 69. AND Spiff - 400 hours , RTGame = 20 hours that equals 420.

If Britain and America found a way to peacefully coexist....so basically Canada.
Really enjoyable stream! Love to see more with this group!
Visited the UK from Monday - Wednesday it was great, also doing great Spiff!
@spiff, Rumble Tumble should have been called "Admiral Boom, Minister of all explodie stuff"
Essentially you have a general around just to keep president spiff from commiting war crimes. i love that dynamic man thats hilarious as hell 😂
Love the stream idea... hate the border. With passion.
"we mix coffee and tea" Spiffing Brit dies*
Spiff slowly turning into Stalin towards the end was the logical conclusion.
"Don't make me unface reveal :)"
@spiffingbrit can you remove the boarder next time? It makes the already small game smaller on mobile
YES GLORIOUS STELLARIS CONTENT Thank you Spiff
If love to see you do a 10-15 player game sort of like your TTD battle Royale
And here I am still playing Masters of Orion
If spiff conquered the universe in the future, I wouldn't be surprised lol.
Thinking that Space Floridians would vivisect an alien to see what it tastes like is only missing one thing...a BBQ grill.
Naming that one planet Texas is right. The damn knights of toxic would think their deity was here with the amount of swamp ass going on.
I love these group streams😊
The blue background will contrasts with Stellaris, I'm not sure why you need to have it around the game window
bro as soon as I start watching Hazzor’s videos I find out that you played a game with him, I stg this algorithm is wild 💀💀💀
Havent watched it yet, but i am assuming we are playing on 3.8.3, with the infinite unity exploit alive and well. After watching Montu exploit it on stream, was waiting for a Spiff “perfectly balanced” Stellaris episode for a week. Sadly, 3.8.4 has fixed that particular “feature”
2:25 I have never heard anyone pronounce the word "ambiguous" like this.
Embeegoos
yeah im waking up to spiffing brit again...
Spiff and AA! Love it!
It takes a Spiffing Brit to make a great evil overlord.
I love anything stream with AA and spiff!!! ❤
Dans realization of becoming Necron was so sad lol
WHY THE F IS THIS IN MY SEARCH HISTORY WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN SEARCH FOR IT!!
Fall asleep, spiff appears and you watch a dozen of his old streams.
"Galactic Force Projection" is probably the worst thing in stellaris.
I See No unballance here
In a play through me and friends did we got a 2 for 1 expabd council, doubled lord of war position
Spiff has broken my UA-cam.. it always plays this or the harvesting organs on rimworld… idk what black magic BUT. It’s always in my “up next” queue…
Man Dan hav9ng 5 hours in game is like playing an 8th of a game or less. I have 60 hours and have played lass than half of three games
Spiff: Their military will be worse though!
*Yankees have entered the chat*
My world... This video has forced me to drink coffee, shame shame
They paid you $20,000 to stream?! Holy wow
It's partly because we are in a very busy time period for streamers so the fee is high. That and I need more money to fund spifftopia 2 which is a stream project that should hopefully come to fruition in December
Now that's some Peltian roleplay.
i just woke up... this man is a genius
I've been wanting a collab with you and amphibious for so long
Huh, last time i played, there were only 2 rows of tradition trees.
Man.. what a dream to get paid 20k to play a game that you already love playing XD
That kinda money changes lives
When spif said he had lots of hours in the tone he made, I was expecting 2k+. Then he said 400. I laughed. I have 2k myself. And I dont consider that very much considering I havent played more than 100 hrs in the past year
I got the game a month ago and already put in 100 hours xD
I’ve watched 2 hours of this while asleep
Lol. Spiff thinks 400 hours is alot in Stellaris 😆
How was satirical saturday not the first thought both of you had for a name?
Good luck to Dan dealing with a Dictator ^_^
I'm genuinely shocked that spiff only has 400hrs. He's the person who originally convinced me to play stellaris and I now have just shy of 1000 hours more than him
These games eat time like potato chips
I imagine the border looks fine on pc but on mobile it makes it rather annoying. Not really sure the need for a border
You can zoom in using two fingers😏
Danke!
400 hours? Those are rookie numbers!

Why isn't potato in this game? I'm sure potato is all for the proposed Irish cow genocide.
The destroyers are almost not worth it tbh, between upgrading the corvettes and unlocking the cruisers
WDYM cruiser is literally the best ship type in game not counting the crisis or fallen empire ship.
