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

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

Repeatability matters more to me than the perfect answer.

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
