More playing, trying to beat hard on coop and failing.
Slowly realizing I'm not too keen on practicing this too much.

- After another hour of struggling, got the normal clear with the previous friend.

Then tried to play solo for grinding the story and get a damage-less run on normal, utterly failed

- Then jumped to public lobbies on my own and got the hard clear with a 4-player party after lobby-hopping.
(total playtime of the day: 4h 15m)

Initial gaming with a friend! We were getting smacked even on normal mode
