      I think the Cyberpunk genre does cover jank but functional approach to technology like this. Technology is so prevalent and often discarded every aspiring techie can weld together junk to do whatever they want. They way James did it, with pliers, hot glue and duct tape, is very reminiscent of how William Gibson described the Rastafarian space station and the the Finn's tech in Neuromancer.

    I see that you've taken a lot of inspiration or got some guidance from Wade. The camera looking down on a table with hands doing most of the talking, the random pet interlude at the end of the video, and you've even got the SNES equivalent to the ShrekPod. Feels a little empty without music but I'd say you got something going here!
