I’ve decided that it’s finally time to contribute something else useful to humanity.

My other video still covers some things that I didn’t get a chance to address here, but I feel like I’ve done a better job explaining things in this video (I recommend watching both).

If you’re still stuck, message me, and I’ll personally see to it that you’re pointed in the right direction.

If you enjoyed this, check out “The Adventures in Game Development” series.

The “XxStillAVirgin69xX” segment is dedicated to the surprisingly large amount of people who actually liked my nerd persona in the last video.
