its really hard to turn off that side of your brain! youre not alone in this because even some pals I've talked to who are interested in this jam are having a tough time turning that off too.
i agree with catsket's advice! i want to add to their points too: make it extremely low effort. examples include: make that sprite in 10 seconds with your non dominant hand! trace over your old drawings in ms paint! base the story off a shitpost! keep all the typoes in! the most important thing i hope youre able to take away from the jam is having fun learning something new and having fun making something :D
