what happened after the first week? I am curious whether beginner stayed easy. I am curious whether arcade still feels good next month

I am saving this for the next time I overthink weirdly. The social part surprised me too. Co-op makes almost anything better

this sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I am curious whether arcade still feels good next month
