--- APOLOGY

I want to apologize for all the technical issues with this video. I wanted to try using screen recording in 1440p and despite brief testing looking good, it has proven to result in an absolutely abysmal frame rate of the screen capture, as well as audio corruption in the last part of this video. I have realized the full extent of the problem is even worse than I initially thought very late in the production. I decided to finish this video and publish it in the hope if it may be useful regardless, and also to not feel like I have completely wasted my effort and time making this.
