That 1/4 inch slope is basically a rite of passage for anyone who's ever worked on an old house. Spent a full weekend once shaving a cabinet door before realizing the floor dropped 3/8 inch across the room. You learn real quick that level means nothing in these old places, just gotta measure from the ground up.

Wait, so @the_sean is saying sweating is worse than crying now?

Oh man, zeroing it out is key! I've seen guys panic over a false reading too, nothing worse than that heart drop when you think you soaked up a month's worth in one spot. Now I just tap the screen quick before I cross the threshold and it saves so much headache.

I hit 60 plays on my copy of Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion and didn't notice until I was packing up after a session. It's wild how the numbers sneak up on you when you're just having fun with a game. That little feeling when you realize you've spent that much time with a deck is honestly kind of sweet, right? There's something special about a game that just clicks and keeps you coming back without you even keeping track. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one who gets blindsided by their own play counts.

Read somewhere that git reflog saves your bacon in those moments.
