I died when AA got lucky enough to find a house key but then put it in his backpack and proceeded to bash his wonderful katana into the door. They have to be in inventory or key ring.

AA:"we need to seek more stress and anxiety in life." Me with general anxiety disorder: "so I've been living life the right way after all!"

:comes to Ambiguousamphibian to relax and de-stress: "We need more confrontation in our lives, we need more hardships" Aw yisss, more struggle plz.

He’s my new favorite comfort streamer, anyone else feel the same

1:37 "You like memes and you like things that are inappropriate." AA just described an average internet user in one short sentence.

Practical reason for a sound suppressor: Reducing the volume of a gunshot to below the level that causes immediate hearing damage, which is real handy if you don't have hearing protection at the range. Doubly so if it's an indoor range and the acoustics make the building sound like a dozen marching bands are hate-fucking each other with their instruments.

I always recall a passage from Marcus Aurelius, 'You can't be a stoic unless you tell people you're a stoic.'

"Pause the game while looting..." a medal for this gentleman, anyone?

"I shit thee not, for thou posts are nary a shitpost." Very philosophical.

Guns are generally super loud, to the point of causing permeant hearing damage. Suppressers reduces the noise damage to a point were it's not as bad

It really is Water Displacement 40. 40 is the number of iterations until they perfected the recipe.

13:55 imagine you are somewhere in a Japanese island near Nagasaki and you wish to sail across the sea to Kentucky

I just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos. I stumbled upon your worm man video after my father died this year, and it's really helped me more than I can express on a KZfaq comment. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to get these out. As a petty dabbler in theology, and someone who lived in a Buddhist temple for a year, thank you for your wisdom and humor. 🙏

starts off the video with "we need to play it safe", immediately starts screaming to gather all the zombies chasing him

General rule if thumb is, if the rifle is chambered for 5.56 it can take .223 but if chambered in .223 then you're taking a chance firing the 5.56.

Welcome to another AA meeting. This week Rob will share a story of the time he drunkenly thought he was surviving the zombie apocalypse in the early 90's

Your videos brought Project Zomboid to my attention and I downloaded it today! It’s exactly the kind of survival game I’ve been looking for for years. So detailed, so freeform. I turned zombies off on my main game because they give me horrible anxiety. The only thing I have to worry about is starvation, and my own stupidity. I broke a window and got glass lodged in my hand. Weirdly, it’s helping me forget about how much I want to smoke. So thank you!

One more, I thought you guys were honestly talking about AA or Alcoholics Anonymous. I feel stupid, yet humbled. Before, I was shocked how many Alcoholics love this channel. And figured that's why their is so much amazing philosophy. Now, I know AA stands for amphibian. I like exploring these channels communities. And openly showing my stupidity.

my new catch phrase is "OUT OF MY WAY! I HAVE A LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE!"

this is such an underrated VOD. not because of the gameplay, but the intellectual pontificating and the introspective philosophizing

AA, your videos and sense of humor is seriously helping me get through this rough time I'm going through at the moment. Thank you for the content you provide!

I love the idea of ambiguous amphibian learning axolotls are real.

... That galaxy brain moment when ya realize that time can be stopped while looting. It changes EVERYTHING. >)X^D

Book Recommendation: Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight Also, about the gun stuff. First, the question "why should anyone have this" is because other government sponsored civilians (e.g. police) can have them. We've already established just in the last year or so that police don't receive enough firearm training as is, and have been documented misusing their force with little to no penalty. Having the potential to do bad things doesn't prevent the government sponsored civilians from owning body armor, suppressors, or "weapons of war"; thus, other civilians shouldn't be prevented either. Having a monopoly of force creates a "when" not "if" problem for citizen rights. Second, despite media's representation of firearms, they are a statistically insignificant number of deaths; from 2019's FBI numbers there's 13,000 pistol murders and 300 rifle murders a year. Your doctor is more likely to kill you with bad handwriting than a bad guy with a gun, and it's hard to become a doctor. Speaking of ease of obtaining, it's easier to get a driver's license than it is to get a gun, they don't even call the fbi (heck the wait time for a suppressor is a year, costs a $200 tax stamp, and requires a ton of paperwork like your trying to get a passport). If you look at deaths, cars are pretty much an apex predator to the human race lol. There's a lot of people I don't feel comfortable with operating a car or voting, but you try to add more regulation to those and suddenly "muh rights" becomes a more universal problem. Third, suppressors are literal car parts, it's the same tech as a muffler, for $20 you can buy a pack of two fuel reservoirs from Amazon that just need a single hole drilled to make it a suppressor. Suppressors don't stop the non-hearing safe crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier (130dB is still loud, 140dB is the hearing safe limit). It doesn't stop the loud metal on metal sound of the bolt cycling (hit a pan with a hammer to simulate volume if you don't have a ar15 or ak to cycle); so tactically, it does not make you more stealthy or lethal. Its not easy to conceal after being shot either, suppressors get incredibly hot (you can see heat waves after a mag or two). Its purpose is to reduce muzzle flash to reduce people zeroing in on your location from 300 yards away during low light situations, to reduce concussion affecting the aim of those near you, and to keep short barrel rifles/pistols from flashbanging you with every shot indoors. For most civilians though, it helps protect hearing and keeps you from pissing off those near you at the range (shooting some guns is the equivalent of shouting in the ear of your bowling lane neighbor and bumping them lightly while they're trying to bowl). It's particularly annoying if your lane neighbor brought their kids. I have to wear ear plugs under my comtac hearing production for indoor ranges. But the main reason for civvies to want one is.... it's cool and makes a cool sound lol. BTW, this post isn't meant to be hostile, just informative (with a slight bias :P), and I don't mind if you disagree. Murica baby!

Hashima island for anyone who didn't know was a Japanese island which boomed because of a large coal deposit located on it with a population peak of almost 55 hundred people. The nickname for the island was "battleship" island and inevitably once the coal mine ran dry, they didn't have a source of income profitable enough to sustain them and unfortunately had to relocate the entire populace of the island back to the homeland. I recommend looking it up, the pictures are haunting like Chernobyl and you (if they're still doing it) can take tours of certain parts of the island where the infrastructure isn't completely in ruins or unstable.

AA having an existential crisis and Revelation in one thanks to the suggestion to pause while looking is weirdly hilarious.

“Daewoo’s pretty good” According to my real life experience, no it’s not.

If challenge is all it takes to keep that chat member happy, I'd say they're too easily pleased. Survival games without challenge are boring, I'll agree simply because there is literally nothing else to them. Games with good stories, interesting characters and gameplay that isn't too repetitive are generally fun, with or without challenge.

Hey AA, I hate to be the one to tell you, but the four numbers in the username of the donor at 11:00 are a code for some bad people, so bad I can't mention them on the platform. Watch out if that person is in your discord and such.

Key lime pie is pretty easy to make, key limes and juice are sold everywhere. If you can't find any mix 2 sweet lemons with 1 lime which is close. When looking for good keylime pie make sure it isn't dyed green and ask if they make their own. Enjoy your new pets and remember the euphemism is 'palmetto bug.'

> Realizing that all the philosophy talk has been in earnest > Liking the channel even more

This man is having a philosophical discussion about the viewer expectations and assumptions of his content, while playing a videogame where he’s guiding zombies into a crowd on an empty parking lot, and avoiding certain death by casually walking away from it. Now this is my kind of KZfaq content

These action maps are fun to see. The "Can I survive locked in a trunk with all my limbs chopped off?" videos Pulled me in but the action maps make me want to play

dude lmfao @ the Dexter's dad comparison, that one is spot on

You could use a suppressor to keep from going deaf but still hear things around you.

Why use a suppressor? They're fantastic for hunting. A bunch of old timers have garbage hearing from hunting without any hearing protection. If you wanna bag a deer, you need to be able to hear it moving through brush. Suppressors are great for letting you keep your ears open and are also great for protecting the hearing from those around you.

when you said we seek more stress and anxiety to harden ourselves against them, i realized why i enjoy playing tarkov

“Live the stoic life.” Words that I have lived by for decades.

I’m gonna have to disagree with your comment of the crossbows mod? I used a crossbow to clear out fort red stone! Thing is awesome for long range sniping, and it’s silent! Also a good way to train the aiming skill without having to waste any bullets

an AA longplay of PZ.... I want to cry of joy

240b is a full auto machine gun, it almost hurt to watch it used like a rifle, although far better for ammo consumption, also a suppressor while yes it does reduce sound, its mainly used to reduce muzzle flash

“If you don’t like it you should probably leave now” LMFAO

And this... this is what i love.. enjoying seeing you enjoying yourself instead of the slew of time skips skipping alot of your personality of fast shortened play throughs

love the almost giggling voice you have when you tell the stories makes me laugh

the internet is built with mighty bricks. each particle of the brick is made from shitposts fired to perfection.

"looking forward to that feeling of inadequacy" @ about 2 hours in, checks out

Spot on about conflict. At the risk of weird-flexing, I've been training Brazilian Jiujitsu for the past eight years and that theme seems to be the biggest take away. It ( much like a tough vidya game) puts you into a moment of controlled conflict where we can inoculate ourselves to fear and discomfort. I highly recommend BJJ to gamers as its the game that never ends

Your voice, it’s heavenly.. lol no seriously, just found your channel the other day and I really enjoy your content!! Can’t wait to see more!

"I have been agonizing about what space marine chapter to play." The only correct answer to "What space marine chapter" is the Salamanders.

"could you imagine if we had a *water* salesmen??" *looks at water bill* *sweats profusely*

Good day AA~

There are other philosophy ideals besides stoicism. I do see the parallels between Buddhism & stoicism, but ive always felt there wasnt enough room for happiness within the stoic world view. Love the videos !

This is the video that inspired me to try zomboid. A year and some change later I now have 2500 hours in the game. Bizarre.

Yessir, .223 and 5.56 are indeed interchangable in real life... kinda sorta. The main difference being 5.56's ability to handle higher pressures than the .223 cases, as 5.56 is essentially NATO's military designation for .223. In reality, it's not considered safe to load 5.56 into a barrel chambered in .223, but it is considered safe to load .223 into a barrel chambered in 5.56. There is some debate on whether that causes a loss of accuracy, though I've never noticed that personally. Oof, that was explained like a minute later

"we need to search for more stress and anxiety in life so that we can grow" bitch I eat stress and anxiety for breakfast

Love these long play videos great for my post Amsterdam comedown

MVP was the person who told AA about the pausing while looting thing. God damn smartest person alive.

After like 2:14:00 Most philosophical monologue I’ve ever heard through gunfire

.223 and 5.56 are not always interchangeable, but sometimes are. Almost any gun that fires one will fire the other, but .223 has a little less stank on it so a gun that fires 5.56 won’t always cycle correctly firing .223, and firing 5.56 from a gun that fires .223 may overgas and damage it over time.

the amphibian overjoys me, excruciatingly makes me happy however a good mod is simple stat bars

Im covered in warts, ya know? - Frog West

The thing about experiencing emotions is, we don't have set defined emotions biologically we have feelings and biological responses and we call this arousal a specific emotion, this is why if you're really angry and really sad you might have trouble discriminating between the 2 because both arousal states are active at once, or they share the same arousal state and either/both emotions fit the feelinf

Im so hyped to find out about the pausing while looting thing. Game changer

As a doll collector who frequently gets made fun of for my hobby I loved your Warhammer comparison. They’re such similar interests but one is treated lesser merely due to its association with femininity which I think is very telling of how our society views women and women’s interests more than any difference between these products. Like with the obsessive amounts of money some use to accessories their guns to be needlessly combat ready even though they’re just sitting on the shelf while mocking me for dropping money on accessorizing my dolls is frankly ridiculous especially when they’re both just hobbies and mine at least isn’t doesn’t have the potential to kill anyone (unless you count almost choking on lil plastic shoes which I have admittedly done in my younger years). Most modern gun collecting doesn’t particularly interest me personally as I feel like most the end goal of it is to make them as theoretically dangerous as possible which is, like, fine or whatever especially if you like to practice at gun ranges but I’d rather collect old af weapons that have some antiquity value inherent in them and like to study the history surrounding them rather than ever use them. At least with that you’re preserving pieces of history. But I guess that’s not where current weapon collecting communities are at nowadays which is a bit sad as it feels less about collecting and more to prove how ‘bad ass’ and ‘powerful’ you are for spending all your funds on a mini arsenal while completely removed from any combat zone.

Another white noise video for sleep!! Thank you

suppressors protect your ears, guns can be real fucking loud to the point of actually causing hearing damage.

"Do zombies have body heat?" They wouldn't.. and would. Cooling in the body is what greatly increases decomposition. So theoretically while standing still for long periods they would have none. But there has to be some sort of function which would indicate heat has to be generated to energize the body. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed and all that.. But by those rules eventually the zombies would have to break down and just.. die from lack of sustenance when the body breaks down. That means this exists well outside of natural laws already. Since PZ zombies don't break down and instead continue to walk around until handled I would say they don't have heat. They don't use enough energy to put off any and therefore wouldn't show up on thermal mappings.

The "WD39" bit earned a sub lmao

1:37:50 Interestingly enough, yes. There indeed were 39 other formulas before that one. As for what 'WD' stands for, it really is 'water displacement'.

your videos are such a worthwhile use of my time, by god.

SCUM has the best weather simulation I have seen. The clouds in that game are fckng gorgeous!

"We gotta spray some WD 39 in there." We don't have to explain what we do with WD69

The pause trick is high tier. Very nice.

Ironically in Florida they still have knife sharpener people driving around with that weird ass ice cream man sounding song from time to time.

.223 caliber and NATO 5.56mm are the same cartridge and projectile. The load, the amount of powder is the difference. 5.66mm uses more powder, resulting in more pressure. This is why you can shoot .223 from a gun chambered for 5.56mm, but not the other way around.

Wow this is genuinely a nice video posted here... In a philosophical sense of course

jiminy Christmas you monster!!! Ambiguousamphibian You DO sound exactly like Dexter's dad! good god that's all I can hear lmfao this is amazing!!

This is where the game “Forbidden Siren 2” takes place

Watching this, oh man. You're the best company. Reminds me of me and my ol' best buddy, you might like him, we've all got that fascination with history/language and philosophy (and Warhammer). Great amounts of knowledge in some weird niche areas and a wonderful friendly attitude. I love it. Makes me nostalgic but also idk. You're a legend 🙏 Don't start that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stream without me!! I'll figure out how to Twitch properly so I can sit in on that, no matter what time it pops up (tho ... it's best played at night...) XD

Your voice works like a charm, it helps me sleep. No you are not boring, the way you talk is very interesting and your quips are so out of the blue it wakes me up at the same time . You bring me p a i n HAHAHAHA

Haha, the amount of shotguns that were missed in the first couple of buildings is definitely not zero.

The WD in WD40 stands for Windex Dispenser. It's just special blends of Windex designed in labs to perform better in more high-caliber scenarios than standard Windex. Yw.

Keep up the super work my friend. I do not have the means to play this game myself so i really love these videos

You heard him boys, with any luck in a few years this amphibian is going to transcend memes as well

I’ve cut my hand and ripped nomex gloves on hungarian ak safeties a few times. Never on any other countries ak/akm/ak74. Water displacement 40 was used to keep corrosion and rust of missiles. It’s not a great penetrating fluid compared to stuff like pb blaster.

I actually met the person that made that map, he's my roommate ( Woldren ), he's such a gentleman, btw nice gameplay

Laying here listening to AA not understanding why someone would want a suppressor while being kept company by the constant EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE of tinnitus. Life is suffering.

Shitposting, in a way, is philosophical. I feel Diogenes would appreciate the shitpost.

Dude you're humble as fuck, I like that

Coincidentally I'm painting Blood Angels marines as I watch this video, had no idea AA likes to paint and model. I've never played a 40k game but I like to paint them. I think you should give him a consideration too, there's a ton of guide for BA since they are the second most popular chapter. And they have a pretty ornate, baroque style of armor that is just so appealing to paint.

I know I’m commenting on an older video but I figured why not? Lol. Veteran is especially beneficial in the current build because I noticed beta blockers are not as plentiful as they once were, especially zombie corpses (maybe that’s just my awesome luck, who knows.) Loving the video so far!

37:18 after making the life-changing realisation that axolotls are indeed real creatures, i hope that your sojourns since this stream have led you to meet one, for truly they are the most glorious of creatures

"above all else we want to just play safe" then yells OVER HERE! at all the zombies

19:00 That is sooooooooooooooooooooooo genius! It's such a stupid idea I never thought of trying it. lol

Thanks for the regular posting. BTW the "ELA" gear is from an operator in Rainbow Six Siege.

Not me staring at the benelli m4 whilst he complains about no shotguns

I think I heard the best pronunciation of "água" I've ever heard from someone who has english as a native language

accept emotion. simple yet elegant

all that running around at the beginning got me thinking you should just lead them all off the edge just to see if they actually would lol

Good ol regular shitepost. I enjoy these. Good job 👍🏼
