Keeping my console gaming routine simple

A few things from my attempts:
- Keep the first step visible
- Remove one annoying decision
- Appreciate the boring repeats

Wanted to like this, but I'm not convinced. The constraint might be the real story.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. I can already hear the menu music

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability
