Notes from a very normal weekend with Retro Gaming in real life

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the conversation for a while.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where emulation stopped feeling new.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The messy part is easy to underestimate.

I needed the reminder to start smaller.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. This is more useful on a tired weekend than on a perfect day. This is why house rules need a constitution.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 8 months. That final turn energy is unbeatable.
