A tiny win from Cairo that made my week in real life

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.

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

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 is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Honestly, great taste. I can already hear the menu music.

Big fan of this approach. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi. I can already hear the menu music.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I keep a note about console for exactly this reason.
