My 6-month experiment with multiplayer after a tiny failure

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

The detail that surprised me was how much my desk changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

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 playlist for a while.
