What indie looks like when you stop optimizing everything from my commute notes
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Gaming feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. That final turn energy is unbeatable.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. I would test it for 6 days before deciding.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. A little friction removed goes a long way.
