I'd done everything right for six months and the scale wouldn't move — until I stopped treating it like a willpower problem and started treating it like a bug.

After 100-plus hours behind the screen, I think the magic isn't the dice or the lore — it's a handful of frameworks for making a world that's already moving when the players walk in.

At my financial peak I was lonelier than I'd ever been — so I quit, lost almost everything, and spent a year figuring out what a life is actually for.

I optimized for the grade at every school I attended, and it worked — which is exactly the problem.

Not willpower — a method: find where the common advice is wrong, build a feedback loop, and let sleep do the heavy lifting.
