Drowning in a glass of water

I spent the whole day yesterday - the *whole* *day* - trying to get URL rewriting to work on my test site, with those RewriteCond, RewriteRule and other niceties, instead of working on the actual blockers that I have. Because where the game is in the website’s tree does not matter - if it is on www.mathieu-brethes.fr/blog or game.mathieu-brethes.fr , it’s the same result. But the game logic needs to work and the issue with translations and links needs to be addressed before release.

Why do I keep chasing unimportant issues instead of fixing the blockers? I’m not sure why I do this, but it’s finished now, I’ll work on the problems that prevent me from releasing the game. Now.
