Does this hobby ever get easier or is it always like getting kicked in the nuts by Ronaldo?
Filament some how leaked up and burned on. I just don’t have it in me to keep tinkering. I just want to print

Thank you for your advice and encouragement! Its comforting to know that its happened to everyone and its a common error.
After everything is cleaned up should i reseat the heat block before i remove the nozzle to clear the gunk or after?
I would suggest removing the nozzle, and clearing it if there’s a jam first, then seating the heat block to the break. Then the nozzle. Both the best break and the nozzle need to be hot as you’re doing the final tightening. I don’t know that the order really matters … it’s just how i do it. I do recommend being systematic about how you go through things. It’s helpful to have a process.
Systematic processes help you to not forget things, like forgetting to reconnect the BLtouch cable when doing stuff with the hot end. (Ooops.)
I’d also recommend keeping some of the more interesting failed prints as “art”. I may be weird but sometimes the spaghetti monsters look cool
