Hey all - quick lil PSA - read on for ya boi: I know it's been a bit more re-release than new content lately (and it will probably as I compile all the old stuff into formats that the modern TH-cam seems to like better, though I've been taking some time to re-format the series workflow so that I can create content in a format that the modern TH-cam recommends while still providing similar experiences to the old Rimworld serialized videos so many of you have come out and say you really enjoyed on the channel. Making those series is a LOT of fun and honestly my favorite thing about storytelling, but in time investment, requires me to sit with the game for about 40 hours of gameplay, though, so yeah just wanted to give you a heads up why it's taking so long to create new series. It's a balancing act. I've experimented with a bunch of new formats this year, but I think I'm finally arriving what will be fun for both me and most people watching. Just wanted to say that - yeah so if you read this, I sincerely thank you. Just wanted to say that - if you give this video a LIKE and a COMMENT on what you want to see or most enjoy. I've done a lot of different content formats in the past and loved them for different reasons, but I'm curious what speaks the most, that'd really help out if you enjoy them. It all helps let the algorithm know what people want to see. Hope you enjoy for old time's sake :)

"DeepRim (continued)" is something you want to check out, basically the same just not roofs, but it has auto-transfer of items between layers and 'some' Power transfer.
My greatest play through was this exact start. Beginning with John. Sent him out knowing we had resurrector mech serum. Got his head completely erased by an elephants foot. RIP John. The greatest there ever was
The crab names evolving from crab based characters/puns to Will Smith movies/shows feels like watching the maturing process of a person. I will admit that The Fresh Pinch is the most based of them all.
Torsolo was 10/10 content. I watched the entire VOD and enjoyed every minute of it. Second best series was the Rimworld Naked Ice Sheet run. Thanks for the entertainment Mr AA!
While I do enjoy the one-off challenge videos, my favorite AA content has definitely been the longer-form, *less edited*/scripted series like the Sea Ice tribal Rimworld start. It's honestly a ton of fun to watch the emergent storytelling of a game like Rimworld or Kenshi flourish, and even slightly more scripted series like the Torsquad benefit from the natural chaos these games can create. Although to be frank, the true selling point of this channel has always been AA's soothing, pseudo-philosophical commentary and humor. Truly, a voice most mellifluous among men (and amphibians)!
It was actually this series that not only introduced me to your channel but to Rimworld itself. Thank you, AA. You're responsible for thousands of hours being sunk into this game.
I think about and quote the intro to the “extreme desert” all the time, recently started theorycrafting a desert colony of my own and it’s on a loop in my head
"How do you fail at making a campfire?" This would appear to be a statement by someone who is very used to the existence of lighters, matches or at least a flint and steel. Your dude is on an island with nothing, fire is a damn miracle. Think Tom Hanks in Castaway
I understand that for the people that have already watched this series, it may be frustrating to see these reuploads, but as someone who hasnt watched them I've really enjoyed it!
I always found that the hospitality mods (Spa, Restaurant, Shop) would make great run, maybe only allow money from visitors, no trading? I once had a rimworldofmagic Lich open an inn staffed by zombies in the arctic, ended up suprisingly wholeseome!
I love your sims 1 content or really your sims 2 to the sims 1 content because it gives me nostalgia and your words are nice and calming along with your project zombies gameplay
Suppose it's an outdated thing to point out by now, but the reason I believe for the small raids is that the different Z levels are considered different maps, so it would only send raids of the size of whoever was on the main Z-level and ignore the rest. Excellent video! And as for what I most enjoy, these compilation videos are my favorite so far, lets me just pause/play it whenever I have some time to AA & chill.
Torsolo's journey is what singlehandedly sold Kenshi to me (or rather convinced me to play it, as the game was bought for years, unplayed). I also quite liked Trapped Underground Rimworld video. It's not a series, but out of all videos you've made on the game that one was the most memorable to me.
I've found through Rimworld so it's nice to see a video about it again! It's also cool to see someone play the game right, since I absolutely suck at it lol
@natashik7855 overpriced dlc. game is only good with mods. aggressive scummy marketing towards df (the game they originally used to promote themselves in the first place) probably other things too
@@Hearthfyre That to me is strange, the graphics of rimworld are more technically functional than DF was for years, now it's about even, but they've never really seemed all that unique or appealing compared to other earlier graphical colony games like Towns or Space Base DF9. Though both of those games died miserably so I guess graphics that go beyond practicality into aesthetical is a weight not worth bearing.
I recognize that the 'all together' format is better for YT, but I certainly wouldn't mind a slower drip feed of 20-30 minute videos as time progresses over a masterpiece 3 hour video every three months that I will watch over several sittings. This is because videos being separated give natural stopping points to pause and come back later. My favorite format was the Factorio '100 days' a video deathworld challenge. While I prefer other story driven games like your Kenshi, Project Zomboid, and especially Rimworld content the most (and know I would enjoy the other 'rimworld like' games that are coming out), the 'three meaty chunks' format felt like a good compromise as a viewer. Substantial progress was made each video, with the mundane parts sped up. I do find your storytelling to be excellent, with my favorite series of yours put out being the rimworld sea ice accompanied by smooth jazz. Taking what can be considered the most boring challenge and making it deeply entertaining and exciting. Thus I do have slight worry for what may be left on the cutting room floor making the overall experience more shallow. My least favorite videos were the 10-ish minute challenge videos. They were still good, but did not foster the same level of attachment to that of your other series I fell in love with. I would love for an episode 2 for certain episodes like "The Movies" to see the progression/ narrative of becoming that top tier film studio. Or more detail/ gameplay of the 'across the obelisk' game that didn't require vod watching. Overall, great content and look forward to seeing what comes out in the future.
Oh my god. When did you hit 1 million subscribers. Almost 1.5 million. Holy shite. Oh my god, how many years have I been subbed to you? Well there ain't no reason why they all shouldn't be subscribed, but damn what took them so long?
nice! I only miss the nice little bossanova after each episode of your old videos! it was so cozy and I sometimes go to your other channel to hear it :)
i love your channel and content. been binging dead youtubers i loved lately n figured id comment this. just know if you decide to die on us youve been an amazing entertainer for us
The burning passion for all skills is probably more realistic than one would think. In that situation I'd be highly motivated to elarn as fast as possible too.
I generally enjoy the content you provide. I will admit I do kind of miss the poetic ramblings from the Torsolo run, but I've enjoyed plenty of other stuff. And as fun as Torsolo was, I do think part of the charm is the uniqueness. I wouldn't want all or even a majority of your content to be like that, as fun as it was. This is fun, and a way to repackage old content that modern TH-cam will like better. I'll confess to preferring the old method, but fully understand that ya need to work with the bs of the modern algorithm if you want to be a success. You're a fun storyteller though, so I'm happy to sit down for longer content.
I'd really love to see more RimWorld content, as to what exactly you should do in terms of series? I think all your ideas have been solid. Perhaps a mix of existing DLC for a unique experience for you and the viewer? Just an out of pocket suggestion.
Just arrived home with my sunday pizza and had an intense craving for your rimworld compilations. I CANNOT STATE THE JOY OF WHAT I FOUND Edit: Farter nooo, how could you 😭😭😭
i love your work and i love these challenge run videos! your rimworld and kenshi stuff is defs my fave, with the sims vids close behind. if youre up for it id love to see you play around w dwarf fortress again, esp now that adventure mode is almost out of beta. in general though the vids i most wanna see are the ones you most enjoy making!

ok :D
I'd say the "Previously On..." parts should be cut. Its just a 'randomly' interjected explanation of things we just saw.
Rimworld! Rimworld! Rimworld!
Always worth the wait for a Rimworld series! Take your time AA!
I'm mostly here for your Rimworld stuff! I don't mind if it takes a bit, I enjoy regular rewatchings too.

Farter got done dirty. He just revealed to you that he was willing to guard you, and he never even got the chance to prove himself.
Dicks out for Farter
Farter getting sold is sadder than the opening scene of Up

So upsetting!
Can birds even fart?
@@Shmandalf yes, not audibly but my parrots would sometimes pull some dang salty broccoli trails behind them when flying around.
Farter will be remembered.

really bad idea, make a colony with every starting colonists from your previous playthroughs
Including the 1000 colonists
Orange from Sea Ice would rule them all without a doubt
@@21beamer60 That would be fabulous
There are some really op (also useless) colonist in that list. Gotta make the map a really hard challenge.
Orange would dominate
Man.. I wish the Z-levels mod wasn't abandoned
So many of the best mods for Rimworld ended up abandoned. It actually put me off playing it again for quite a while
"DeepRim (continued)" is something you want to check out, basically the same just not roofs, but it has auto-transfer of items between layers and 'some' Power transfer.
Me too 😥
You and everyone else, including me. 😢
Wait it was abandoned? Nooo
1:37 When you said "Giganticonda" the subtitles wrote "gigantic Honda" and this made me laugh unreasonably hard :D

It must be the best.
I remember watching this when it came out. Every time you release a Spore, Kenshi or Rimworld video it makes me want to play those games again.
"How do you fail at making a campfire?" This would appear to be a statement by someone who is very used to the existence of lighters, matches or at least a flint and steel. Your dude is on an island with nothing, fire is a damn miracle. Think Tom Hanks in Castaway
love this format style ambiguous, could genuinely watch for weeks and never tire
I genuinely love that you're rereleasing these. Having them edited together makes them much easier to rewatch.
"How do you fail building a campfire" spoken like someone who has never even tried it..💀
8:56 Dude, I have no idea why, but your "What the fuck" was SO funny. My sides hurt from laughing
2:31 gay dude AND a misandrist? tough.

love it
You know what I’ve actually enjoyed every format you’ve ever put out so do what you love and what ever that is ill watch and enjoy it anyway
I understand that for the people that have already watched this series, it may be frustrating to see these reuploads, but as someone who hasnt watched them I've really enjoyed it!
Yay the funny frog man posted.

I love both series like this, and the funny challenges like the happiest Thompson's Gazelle #3. I've been a fan for years and you are doing great
best video ive ever watched, the whole thing, trust me
Ah yes. You wrote this 2 mins after it uploaded. I believe you. 😌
@@wifipigeon01 This is a re-release bro.....

Are you telling me a crab fried this rice?
YESSSSSS AA I LOVE YOUR RIMWORLDS PLEASE 8 BILLION RIMWOLRD VIDEOS
Saw you asked for feedback and honestly, I really love the longer length Rimworld videos!
I like all your formats, but your 20 minute edited ones including a random existential monologue are the best content on TH-cam.
I really love this long form series, really makes me miss AA's Rimworld series'.
Love your storytelling, never encountered Undugu before so its cool to see you re-edit it for new TH-cam
When I burn out, I always watch your video to give myself motivation to play RimWorld
_honestly I do this many times already_
You are my white noise when i'm playing in Rimworld, buddy xD
"although I don't understand you, as long as it makes you happy I support you" I wish more people shared that view AA
can we point out his name is Rick Sanchez 14:58

It was AA and Nurse they got me into Kenshi and PZ ....... I think spiffingbrit got me into rimworld

I've found through Rimworld so it's nice to see a video about it again!
It's also cool to see someone play the game right, since I absolutely suck at it lol
I believe in Undugu ✊️ i havent seen the video yet so lets see how he wins 😎
i have never heard of this game, but somehow i wake up to gameplays of this every single time thanks to TH-cam auto play, and yet i love it

> Mods it

lmfao deadass. rimworld only does better on youtube cause graphics.

These long compilations are great. I’m still in the middle of the Torsquad story and it’s so moving.
The true mystery is where the horseshoes came from.
Ayyyy, i think one of the episode in this series was the first thing I watched from you! Nice to see it again 😊
