Why does multiplayer feel easy for everyone except me?

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.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. I noticed the same thing in Cape Town.

That should give you a solid first pass.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. The surprising part is easy to underestimate.
