The most of the cons are mentioned in the description. The only advice except for technical issues is that the player should have imho better feeling whether he is actually doing well or not.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Split82","author_uid":"1000253","time":"2017-12-05T11:02:13Z","epoch":1512471733,"modified":1512471734,"text":"3596! :) This is really awesome.

Goes very well with the theme. Very relaxing.
