Can we talk about the underrated side of console from a family dinner

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

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. multiplayer got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about console. I keep a note about multiplayer for exactly this reason.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

Honestly, great taste. This pairs weirdly well with jollof rice.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. For me it came down to the routine.
