My favorite low-effort upgrade for console
I tried this in Cape Town with a friend and we both noticed teh same thing: teh social part mattered more than teh perfect plan.
This is probly obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. console got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam

this sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I would love to see a follow-up after 4 weeks. Co-op makes almost anything better

I disagree a bit. console matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. A little friction removed goes a long way

This reminds me of something a friend in Dublin mentioned. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The Warsaw example makes it feel concrete

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability

agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I noticed the same thing in Mumbai
