I tried doing culture the boring way and it worked after 4 tries

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

The detail that surprised me was how much a tiny balcony changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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