Actually there's a reason

I might be incredibly stupid, if there's any better way to do this because I'm currently referencing it twice which is like.. potentially decoupling.. let me know please ;-;

 I was asked to make an AppSettings archiver, so this should work as a rough attempt ... for now.
 
 # How to install
-Copy `config.example.py` to `config.py`. Configure your destination directory, and your ROBLOSECURITY cookie if you wish to provide one. I would recommend using an alternate Roblox account, mostly out of precaution. Your ROBLOSECURITY is not transmitted to any other place than Roblox with this script.
+Copy `config.example.py` to `config.py`. Configure your destination directory, and your ROBLOSECURITY cookie if you wish to provide one. I would recommend using an alternate Roblox account, mostly out of precaution. Your ROBLOSECURITY is not transmitted to any third party with this script, only Roblox will see your ROBLOSECURITY. Some additional configuration options if you want to configure them are for overwriting the AppSettings list with your own (it could really just be anything with JSON), and a log level if you want to make things a little noisier.
 
 This project uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), which has very clear documentation on how to install it:
+
+You will need Python 3.12 or later, so install it.. please.
+
 1. `pip install pipx` to install PIPX
 2. `pipx install poetry` to install Poetry under PIPX (You will have global access to Poetry, PIPX performs some gnarly isolation while still allowing global access to tools)
 3. In this directory, run `poetry install`. This will install all dependencies required by AppSettings-archiver
