The thing nobody told me about reviews after a tiny failure

a few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

The kindness in this post is lovely. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Sound design deserves more credit

I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me

I disagree a bit. tiny matters but teh bigger issue is usually expectations. I used to overcomplicate this constantly

This is adorable and oddly motivating. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error

Great point, especially the part about failure. This pairs weirdly well with pasta. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning

fair pushback

I would pin this if I could

@pandaPilot11 I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks

I am saving this for the next time I overthink failure. I am curious whether fiction still feels good next month

fair pushback

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot

This. Exactly this

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. This pairs weirdly well with dumplings
