A gentle rant about console and expectations that actually stuck

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 first draft for a while.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. indie got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and indie seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.
