Question for an upcoming video:
Added 2025-05-09 23:10:21 +0000 UTCHi there Patrons!! In a video I'm currently working on, I'm going to be able to store digital things inside of a pokemon save. However, I'm unsure what would be the best thing to do for the video. I have a few ideas, but would love to hear if you have any!!
Basically, I will be able to store the binaries of any file that is 10kb or smaller.
Some Ideas I've had include:
- Small ROMs
- Pictures
- Hyper-compressed, short videos
- encrypted stuff
- executables
etc.
Any fun ideas are welcome!! Bonus points if they would make the title engaging!

follow-up question for clarity: is this kilobits or kilobytes? because crouton.net is about 8 kilobits

Depending on the scope of the video and project, something fun in terms of engagement could be using the concept to make some sort of ARG or puzzle. Maybe you store some sort of password, URL, or QR code that viewers could decode/play around with?
