I actually posted a similar question a few days ago and decided to just delete it and go ask around on Discord or Reddit as my expectations of anyone offering help I need here are pretty low due to how thinly spread volunteers time is on here. But on reading this thread, especially the part about the lack of people asking smart questions, I thought I would re-post and get some constructive criticism on the quality of my question so that I can learn to ask better questions in the future.
