What's that, you watch said old man paint terrible pictures of dogs in the buff while you sit on his stained bedbug infested cot.

- eating off of the floor - in the dark - unbearable stench - bed and various activities outside You've managed to make a sim live like a rimworld pawn and frankly it's a thing of beauty

You should totally do a challenge run for Stardew Valley.

I think Pimp achieved peak success when Mayor Whiskers and his dapper top hat visited.

3:39 "It was just me - an uncomfortable man of an unbearable stench, standing in a dark room in a pimp hat, eating pizza off the floor." This is the start of a novel

As a millennial I can only say it's a sensible level of aspiration

What’s wild to me is I can almost see a place like this existing. It kind of makes me think of those gentrified mini-plazas they stick in small towns. More or less a glorified strip mall with some outdoor features.

I need to vent somewhere, sorry in advance. Sims 3 wishes was so much better than Sims 4 wants and fear. The best would be sims 2, but the fact that Sims 4 forbid me from choosing my own wants and force me fears that is essentially a coin toss to overcome is soo annoying. I know I can turn it off, but without the wishes system, what am I going to work towards when there’s a massive gap of space to my next Aspiration objective? Also, how they choose the wants is atrocious. In other sims game it makes sense that I never bat an eye, and if it didn’t I could just change it or ignore it. In 4 the moment they like a certain music genre they instantly want to hear it and now every home I ever made had to have at least a speaker. God, how did they make such a bad move.

3 was better due to intentional decisions by Electronic Arts, the owner of the franchise. EA decided to blatantly strip out game features and sell them as add-ons, and then add a WHOLE pile of expensive DLC on top of that. It's ridiculous. They bungled it up so much, that Paradox is going to be publishing a The Sims competitor game. They picked up the crown from the Sim City franchise when EA screwed that up in 2013, hopefully they'll do the same for The Sims.

As a millennial, can confirm Pimp Gandalf is living the dream

Anyone else kinda sad that he didn't have a mod that simply causes the sim to die when he steps off the lot? Would've made the ending more amusing.

This video is inspirational. Someday you too can become a successful hermit

I find that roof panels and turbines are usually the best, cause I'm 99% sure those can't break or get dirty, since you can put them on the roof where your sims can't access them. I think they're a bit more expensive, but not having to repair or clean them saves so much time

3:04 Oh the face of the pizza lady when she has to witness the degradation of your sim. This is too real.

"Like an Airbnb, just for the day And you have to stand among a bunch of other lonely depressed adults who are willing to endure unthinkable sensory unpleasantness" I died

We just spent 10 minutes talking about Fight Club. Those toddlers are learning so much from their mentors!

Now this is the amphibian that I fell in love with all those months ago. Take me back.

1:24 That was a great shot of Bob Pancakes! Bravo, AA!

Another video that's a better social commentary on life in 2023 than most professional studies Brilliant work AA

1:50 - I absolutely love that callback painting to a simpler and more bizarre time... Spore.

This is basically how it looks when youtubers or tiktokers make "creator houses"

Club Pimp Gandalf has it all. A broken man soiling himself. Awkward adults avoiding eye contact. Sheet rock.

If there's two things that hold true about millennials are that we can set our bar pretty low just to socialize with others and to spend as little as possible just to make ends meet, kudos to all my millennials out there, stay strong.

I was having a lot of anxiety from my new job, but this video made me laugh. I feel better now. Thanks AA

there are raw, nameless emotions communicated by Pimp Gandalf's selfies

really fun concept would love to see more sims

the vibes from your streams and your videos are so different and i love both, so i love that i got to see this video in both forms

Dude this video is your best so far!!!! I love you

I love everything about this video, thanks for making my day

good to see that EA STILL hasn't fixed that glitch where sims just fight and argue with each other autonomously

would unironically love to watch a movie about just a himbo opening a bunch of businesses in his own home

One of the only channels i have notifications on for. Love this shit.

can't wait for the live action adaptation of this video!

I love how you always use the best music from The Urbz 😄

Not gonna lie, running an Eco Nightclub sounds fun. I guess I know what I'm gonna do when TS4 addons get less outrageously expensive. For now TS2 Open For Business is my jam. And well, you can run a furniture store. You could even play the game without buy mode, cause you can place / move stuff from your inventory...

This is where Gandalf went after falling to become a Gandalf the White

"Someone whose haggard countenance and scrawny build proclaims to the world, 'there's nothing left for me in this life.'" great i'm catching strays

"And then I hired a barista, to work the counter, and serve delicious Italian pastries to the patrons. Who were still fighting. Despite my expensive offerings of custard." The cadence combined with the erratic Italian music and judgmental AA face is potent, sweet Jesus.

Another great AA video. Especially with the Sims. Why am I not surprised about its high quality? Bro knows how to bring these challenges head on...

I'm beginning to get it, these aren't "challenges" these are AA's daily life routines.

AA and The Sims is the best combination one can hope for on KZread

5:47 - 5:51 Oh, wow; the mayor of Brindleton Bay graced Pimp Gandalf's club with his presence. What an honor. I mean, Mayor Whiskers has always been a down-to-earth, for-the-people kind of mayor, but taking the time out to visit the establishment of a struggling and impoverished newcomer to the area is downright neighborly.
