Which year was the best era for Youtube?

I always add a few low-level player friendly rule tweaks, but my favorite house rule is “dice extension”. The old idea of a 20 being a critical hit was never sound when you might have needed a high roll even to hit. Instead, for every dice of damage or healing, if you roll the maximum value, you get to roll again and add the new value on top of the max. Repeat for additional max values. This happens often enough to add fun to normal encounters, and eventually you will have that Epic Story where all seemed lost until the die roll quadrupled up.

We are 6 frames away from a perfect Super Mario Bros speedrun. The greatest achievement in speedrunning history. It might happen later this year. These runners will go down in history as the only ones to ever hold the record untied.

After 7 years, I've finally done it. 4:54,365, I'm the first ever brazillian to have untied WR in any% of smb1, and it's way better than I ever expected to have it be. HOWEVER, the grind is not over. There are still 6 frames to be saved until I'm done. Stay tuned! :)

Back in 2019, a YouTuber named Game Champ 2000 ( @Gamechamp3k ) decided to attempt one of the most insane Pokémon challenges ever created. He was going to beat Pokémon Blue on original Game Boy hardware without taking a single point of damage the entire game. But here's where it got brutal: he set one rule for himself. If any of his Pokémon took even one HP of damage at any point, the entire save file had to be permanently deleted. No soft resets allowed and no backups whatsoever. Even getting poisoned or confused counted as an instant loss. Pokémon Blue is basically rigged against you. That's because every move in the game with 100% accuracy still has a hidden 1 in 256 chance to miss. This means that a random freak miss from the AI could erase weeks of progress in seconds. So Game Champ spent hours grinding battles against Metapod with Harden, biking back and forth to abuse the daycare for free levels, and manipulating the dumb Gen 1 AI into picking moves that physically couldn't hit him. But the Elite Four was the real nightmare because you fight all five trainers back to back with no Pokémon Centre between rounds. One critical hit from Lance's Dragonite ends everything. After 222 hours of grinding across 12 straight days, Game Champ finally beat the champion with total damage taken across the entire game being zero, marking the first time anyone had ever done it in history. What a feat.

Pokémon Red and Blue had one random truck near the S.S. Anne. That was enough. Kids became convinced Mew was hidden underneath it, and rumours spread through playgrounds, forums, and fake cheat websites. There was no Mew. Just a truck and millions of disappointed children.

The original Space Jam website is still online. It looks like the internet refused to move on from 1996. No autoplay feeds, no infinite scroll, no algorithm. Just a website stuck in time. You can still view it here: spacejam.com/1996/jam.html
