      Hey salt, you may already know them but based on the music in your videos you might enjoy "Boards of Canada". Their album "music has the right to children" is a good starting point if you haven't heard of them. Also thanks for the video, it's always a treat.

      At 34:13, talking about saving frames with the goomba, did you accidentally say you lost or saves time backwards? Or did I just misunderstand what was being said? Not criticizing either, it's a legitimate question. Thanks also for these awesome videos!

    46:10 for those who don’t know, Dave Stieb was a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1980s. His most infamous accomplishment, and what Salt is referring to here, occurred in September 1988, when he had a no hitter broken up in the 9th inning with 2 outs and 2 strikes (basically the baseball equivalent of Pidgey’s motion control mishap) in back to back starts. The odds of this happening are around 1 in 240 million

      @@simonmagus2199 Content creation has its own community which shares optimizations just like speedrunning. While you're looking for tips on how to improve audio quality you'll come across all sorts of, let's call them "audience optimizations".
      Take the video we just watched: there are a lot of comments praising Salt for making an entertaining video which kept them interested for 31 minutes while talking about a game which the commenter has never played. He has really optimized his content creation process in order to consistently deliver a high quality product. But where do you draw the line between optimizations like re-doing your voiceovers to remove mistakes, false starts, stuttering, weird slurping noises, etc, etc ,etc and so called "sociopathic" optimizations?
      That is a question every content creator has to face on their own. On one hand, saying "we did it" helps the friends you've made in chat during your journey feel involved, and recognizes their contribution....on the other hand, doing stuff like that helps viewer retention and increases revenue for your stream. So is it humble or sociopathic? I personally like to think that it depends on the streamer themself, and comes on a spectrum. Some streamers may feel 80% humble and 20% entrepreneurial, others may have those numbers flipped. You can't really know from the outside how another person feels, or what their true intentions are, so I have often found it best not to even try to find out, and to only focus on how a person makes you feel on the inside.

    46:12 Clever name drop there :D For those who don't know, Dave Stieb was a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 80s and 90s who was notoriously unlucky in being able to finish no-hitters, losing four or five of them in the ninth inning.

      The use of a chart to plot out the world records and pan over them immediately reminded me of a Jon Bois video, and having him name drop Steib clearly shows that he watches his videos. Crazy to think that SummoningSalt might somehow manage to increase his production level to match Jon Bois.
      Hard to imagine this series of World Record Progression videos getting any more legendary, but it’s safe to say that we’re about to see some once in a generation videos soon.

      I mean by that logic, nobody would care to learn anything at all about things they haven't already experienced unless a creator of some sort frames it a certain way to keep a large audience engaged, which is a pretty sad thought. The story of this game's world record has always been interesting, I think Summoning Salt is simply helping us see what was always there!
      I do agree that the storytelling is amazing lol. I feel like the first sentence of your comment just feels uncomfortably similar to something like "I'm never going to space but I just spent an hour learning about Mars lol" which is depressing because lots of people act like everything they learn has to have some kind of immediate practical use, otherwise it's a waste of time. That's such an awful and destructive way to view information and knowledge lol :(
      I'm sorry, I'm just thinking out loud, I'm not accusing you anti-intellectualism or anything, but you got me thinking!

      @@thegoodgeneral check the list of Summoning Salt's recent videos. You will see one say "The Quest to Beat Matt Turk"
      He is a guy who set every world record in Mike Tyson's punch out. It took a league of speedrunners Several years to be all of Turk's records.
      So basically, Matt Turk is an absolute legend who dominated a game for years. He is a running meme in this community for how awesome he is.

      @@xanaxwizard You have time right now to change that. The world is headed towards damnation but you can escape it. The last 3000+ years have been a testimony in favor of God's word. Contemplate how to Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is Rome. From this part of scripture we can conclude that A) The God of Israel is the one true God, and He can predict the future or make it happen or B) The Nations and governments have been conspiring together for the last several millenia.There is a video here on youtube titled "From Babylon To America" by SchoolForProphets that covers this.
      You don't really need to speculate because you can start a relationship with God. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. Our time here is short so i would take full advantage of every moment you have. Have a great day!

    These videos always give me chills, but because I know this game so well the chills are chillier.
