This is the first video of this channel, I'm not really happy with it and it's taken way to long to make because (in these last few months I've learned that) making videos is hard. Might remake it at some point when we get closer to the methodology video. In the meanwhile I'm looking forward to making the next one with all the acquired knowledge.

i think i also have a curious cat? probably the same handle

with this little ludic prose I'll leave you, here's hoping it doesn't sucks.
Pay attention to each phrase's commencement, it'll help a ton
youses who might want to partake in, what for
me is a non-trivial effort, as it should be for you too,
in as much as the partaking is those that have partaking as a known,
in as much as ignoring that the referant and the signifiers are 'tree',
per order of the lattest, the ultimate (from spanish), will in there each be find
7 (or more, definitely more) tunes (or pieces) aid
Questers to have these pieces won.
Might the rewards not be exactly quite heaven.
Even still, the mechanic is still what they believe in.
