Initially, the sheer size of the game intimidated me. Getting started, like taking a flight to outer space? At first daunting, after trying for sometime, I started seeing patterns, I learned it! I’m impressed with that. It’s like navigating the streets of your home town after getting acquainted!
From there… I realized I had to put time in.
- Getting lost in space is a part of the journey
- Finding new planets was incredible!
- And making friends is amazing as well!
One of my biggest takeaways? Patience, patience, patience.
