*long description*
After seeing the insanely popular videos by Tom Scott and MrBeast, where their thumbnails (or titles) changed based on the amount of views the video had, I wondered if that could be used to make a video game. So in this video, I turned my YouTube thumbnail into a rock, paper, scissors video game. Just comment !vote [your vote] in the comments, and come back when the thumbnail is updated.
