The entire stupidity of LAME Dimension began when Mr. Prez and ChairGTables met in the same elementary school in Guam and quickly became best friends. They became super glued together when Mr. Prez showed Chair a game he was making based off the profile pic of the popular kid in their class, causing Chair's jaw to drop. Chair endlessly begged Mr. Prez to pass on his skills of game development, and thus The Stick Figure Returns Team was born. At this time, their central focus was more towards making silly comics together and showing them to their classmates, but the non-stop explosions in their comics is what drove the spirit of LAME Dimension games.

Mr. Prez and ChairGTables were soon known by their class to be the loud idiots who can't stop laughing in class while coming up with dumb new plans for their games and comics. The two mistook this as popularity. This is when the ancient LAME Dimension website was born and thought they can sell their games in floppy disks to their classmates, despite their games not able to fit inside a floppy disk. With this new confidence, Chair starts working on games without the assistance of Mr. Prez. Despite finishing a few games, this sixth grade dummy also thought that compiling together characters in MUGEN can also count as a game they can distribute.

As Mr. Prez and Chair experiment and learn more about making games, their endless hype just won't stop. This year was the most amount of projects they started on, as the two keep starting projects on the fly whenever they think of something dumb during class. The two realize that they made games beyond Stick Figure Returns, so they changed the team's name to LAME Dimension. They were close to picking Toilet Games though.With their classmates' curiosity beginning to increase on their strange quests, the team's number begins to increase. However, just as this wave of new members arrived, Mr. Prez transfers schools away from Chair.

With the two being separated, Chair became a temporary leader figure for LAME Dimension in his school while Mr. Prez tried to gather new members in his new school. Compared to last year, there was a huge decrease in the number of games developed, but this was because the team is occupied with a major project: Final Flames. This, however, began a short wave of conflicts between Mr. Prez and Chair, as Chair was obsessed with finishing the game with a serious deadline, while Mr. Prez wanted to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. Soon enough, Chair graduates from middle school and transfers schools, returning the LAME team size back to the original two.

Chair knows that in order to make a good first impression in his new high school, he has to make his first year a very explosive one. With the hard work of Chair and Mr. Prez, the two were able to finally complete the project they were very passionate for: Final Flames. In the end, it was not a very good game, but it surprised their class that a random game developer came to their school out of nowhere. But they didn't let the hype stop there. They made a ton more games, with a few leading to long term effects in their lives, such as the creation of AYA in a visual novel, and meeting the leader of Secksmen through Chair disrupting class with his weird ideas.

With their biggest project out of the way, the team's hype for developing games died down a little, hindering the progress of their beloved sequel to Final Flames and cancelling multiple other projects. In the meantime, Chair becomes extremely active in the fighting game scene. With the arcades slowly dying in America, Chair knows that all the strong challengers are to be found in tournaments. Chair soon transfers over to a fighting game team called the Secksmen, which is simply just a friend circle of the only people in Chair's highschool who played videogames. After the "panties incident", this friendship was going to go beyond just fighting games.

After Final Flames 2's project files was lost due to the team's weird development process of keeping project files in a thumbdrive to pass on to each other, it was a struggle for the team to maintain their passion. Instead of focusing on long term projects, the team started doing tiny projects again, making it an enjoyable experience for the team to laugh with each other again. Despite projects being quick, a few would end up being extremely relevant to the team. Imouto RPG was a project brainstormed in the toilet and was developed two days before a plane trip, but this included a long term reoccuring character: Liz.

This was the year when LAME Dimension graduated from high school to college, but this also means that Mr. Prez's distance to Chair continues to increase, as Chair will move from Guam to mainland USA. Chair tells Mr. Prez not to worry, as Chair will never stop developing games for LAME Dimension, and will use his new knowledge in college for their games. In the meantime, the Secksmen too will have to disband after graduation, but before they part away to different parts of the world, the four created characters for Chair's future game. And thus Isuzu, Mashiro, Hazuki, and Chizuru were born, which are important characters of LAME Dimension.

Chair continues to enter fighting game tournaments under the Secksmen team name, despite the team disbanding. Chair knew that being in a larger land means more strong opponents, giving him more reason to become stronger. Chair eventually decides to help events by streaming their fighting game tournaments. With this, Chair uses his newfound knowledge from his college courses to re-do the ancient LAME Dimension website and create programs for the stream, such as the iconic idiot bot AYA and the explosive giveaway program RNGenocide. With Chair participating in events, new opportunities open for LAME Dimension.

Chair continues to staff for multiple gaming events, and he eventually got to a point where he would start bringing LAME Dimension games to add more explosions into event game rooms. This would reel in new interest into LAME Dimension games, pushing Chair into putting more quality into games. Chair soon gets a sudden increase of attention through the Nutshack, resulting in Chair making the Nutshack game for charity. But what was even more sudden was a member of the Siivagunner team, Sylvysprit, approaching Chair and offer help in the music department, closing the gap between LAME Dimension and developing games commercially.

The year of 2017 was the death of LAME Dimension, or so that's what we thought. Though Mr. Prez left LAME Dimension at the start of the year, Chair was slowly able to revive the creative spirit of LAME Dimension. This new revival brought new faces, as Chair brought on his friends into LAME Dimension projects, shaping their class projects into games that go into the LAME Dimension lore. Thus, the year LAME Dimension was doomed was actually the year where LAME Dimension made so many games again. Final Flames 2 was finally recovered and finished. With Quarter Game being their first release on Steam, this was the mark of a new beginning.

The year 2017 may have given LAME Dimension the revival it needed, but the full force revival happened in 2018. The team finally has talents and friends for all departments. With this, nobody really has to focus on working on multiple areas of the game anymore, as there are multiple artists, translators, and composers now. Though the release of Super Ledgehop may have turned the team into serious indie developers, Chair still tries to retain the silly, easygoing feeling for the team in respect to Mr. Prez's original vision. Now that Chair has graduated college, there's more time now to explore games beyond school project limitations.

With Chair being away from the cluthes of school, LAME Dimension's selection of projects are now selected on their own will. But that doesn't mean they should back away from challenges. When a new engine was released for the Game Boy, LAME Dimension made sure they were among the first to create a game with it. The team still continued to join game jams to analyze their own skills, and surprisingly, the team consistently gets good placement. Soon, the Toejam & Earl social media was looking for a game developer. Chair did not hesitate with making a mockup, got the job, and continues to become a stronger developer for LAME.

This year is where the fighting spirit of LAME Dimension burns bright. It was observed that for one of the largest fighting game tournaments in the world, modded characters are allowed to be played. It was their opportunity to advertise in a funky way by creating their own character for tournaments. With this, the LAME community was all fired up to play fighting games with everyone. Not only that, but the Secksmen all united together again to represent their LAME characters for AnimEVO, with almost every member placing Top 8. The LAME lore was coming to life and it brought the community closer together.

Chair switched jobs where he is now able to use his programming skills. As time went on, he was able to obtain more web development skills, so Chair decided to start moving the website out of Weebly so that the workflow and adding updates can be streamlined. The amount of projects has been reduced, due to the increased focus on developing Hazuki Dies. However, Chair was able to bring in a whole new audience by bringing Super Ledgehop to Games Done Quick, being the first game developer and VTuber to run their own game there. It also brought together many people from different communities that Chair befriended along the way, reinforcing friendship from many places.

There weren't any public projects that were released this year, as the team was starting to put a stronger focus on developing Hazuki Dies. There were more involvements, however, on events as well, such as Chair hosting the Project Justice brackets at the largest fighting game event in the world, Evo. This higher involvement at events led to Chair creating tools for utility purposes, such as a thumbnail generator for tournament matches.

This year was a huge win for LAME Dimension, as the demo for Hazuki Dies was finally released, although, much of game has to be reworked considering that it was not optimized for writing dialogue and localization, which consists of most of the game. Despite this, there were many cheers from the team and friends, as their hard work can be seen by many in Steam Next Fest. Chair also wanted to be more involved in the game development community, so he took voice acting classes to help out his friends and to meet new people. This led to Bodega Court being their first fully voiced game, as Chair asked his entire class to help with voices.

With Hazuki Dies demo being released, the spark for smaller projects came back once again. Multiple small projects were created, and the team finally joined a game jam again after years of not joining one, leading to the creation of Fonzi Fuddy, a game that is loosely connected to the overall main LAME Dimension series. Emoman, a series that once ended abruptly in LAME Dimension's early years, finally had its proper conclusion as well, as the final entry to the series has been completed. This was made to help people understand the connection more with Emoman characters appearing in Hazuki Dies. As the year went on, Chair continues to voice act for more game projects.

The amount of hangouts with local LAME Dimension members have increased dramatically, which eventually led to the revival of old school LAME Dimension's desire for filmmaking with how much they've been together. Soon, they've decided to enter a film contest and ended up getting an award with Dime Counter Infinite. Numerous fun activities were had together, and more projects were created suddenly on impulse, whether it's joining another game jam or making a promotional live action video for the next Project Justice Evo tournament. With this, their motivation for Hazuki Dies burns brighter.
