This video is possible thanks to the kind help of a bunch of creators:

First, thanks to ‪@lordknightfgc‬ for his expertise!
Second I want to thank the following creators for their permission for me to use their footage - this video would not be possible without their help:

Ghost from ‪@TheWeebCrewPodcast‬

The Dancing Vtuber during the Patreon credits is ‪@JuniiHejjiko‬, who I did a Persona 4 Twitch stream with, so it's not just some random cameo

‪@EasyMusicLesson‬ for their kind permission on letting me use the Recorder rendition of Specialist

I technically stole the Overcooked 2 example from ‪@gamematterschannel‬, so please check out their discussion on Procedural Design as a more-indepth look:
