A gentle rant about indie and expectations for absolute beginners

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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.

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

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. This is more useful on a tired Monday morning than on a perfect day.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.
