This week's episode is a special one, because being ill (again) brought to light the realities of just how hard it is to parent on your own and that in turn finally gave me some inspiration on how to support a great campaign that's running right now via The Dad Shift and Pregnant Then Screwed.

It can be difficult to own up to your mistakes, especially in a workplace and especially in an industry still suffering from so many layoffs. But it's essential for learning and growth, developing (and re-establishing) trust, and so-on.

Handling mistakes is also essential in game design, since failure is often an expected part of the experience, which is why we're covering Tolerance this week.

It was only after everything was uploaded and scheduled that I realised I should instead have gone with the Creed line "I'm having a little trouble motivating..." for the title of this week's QAuDHD.

Oh well!

This week we're talking about how to test Discoverability in your game, and also chatting a bit about self-motivation and (shudders) homework!
