A gentle rant about multiplayer and expectations with a chaotic constraint

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I noticed the same thing in Jakarta.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about constraint. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I noticed the same thing in Mexico City.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. The Berlin example makes it feel concrete.
