Damn, can I get a tutorial on how to read this tutorial? It seems pretty long.

jkjk, I gave it a read and found quite a few nice pointers. Thanks for the blog post ^_^

I would add that sometimes a tutorial is just needlessly hard / unintuitive, and that (at least for topics, not editorials), it doesn't hurt to browse what others have written after some frustration.

    That's a very good point, and I'll even add that reading another resource sometimes helps me with understanding the first one that I didn't understand.

Well, I find it kinda stressful that we are supposed to READ the tutorial with a link "how-to-read". Could you make a video on this one, please?

      Instructions unclear, made a "5 unknown facts about the tourist" video instead.
