This is the biggest monstrosity ive ever seen. Its like the guy let the game create the collision for every single slight surface or wall.

There were no Gay Baby Jails this episode. Current GBJ drystreak: 26 So, this one has been haunting me for days. How do i approach this video? Well i conclude that there is a lack of information on this hack. Most of the time, the game also simply crashes on death. Meaning that if you die, you can get out of GBJ which should be possible in most locations in the hack. This ones very, very weird

[@Montewtf]

In the original gay baby jail. Simple couldnt escape because if he exited the course the game crashed. A crash isn't a gay baby jail but if a location traps you and the only way out is to exit course and crash the game intentionally then its exactly the same as the original gay baby jail

[@Tinkerer_Red]

I came back to this video days afterwards just to see your verdict on this. Because at this point GBJ's aren't decided by Simp, they are now decided by you. We're far to deep into a dry streak... any day now guys.

In BOTW, Shrines have puzzles that you have to do to unlock your final reward.
