Wow!!! Despite weeks, sometimes months of inactivity, there are now 50 newsletters in the Taniyn Quest repository. This is kind of a big deal for me! Almost 3 years ago when I switched from a traditional blog to publishing a [[Digital Garden]] through [[Obsidian]], I was actually really scared about it being a flop for me. Granted, that’s a silly fear when I’m not making a profit off of my writing (or any money at all really), but I pride myself on setting personal goals that I aspire to reach for my own creativity. I worried that switching would destroy my pace of writing and that no one would want to read my stuff — but both of those things are untrue! I’m writing more than ever, and I actually have double the subscribers I used to, which is a dub in my book. I don’t really have anything special planned for this 50th issue, other than the yapping you saw above, but I will simply say: thank you for being here and reading! I never expected even one or two people to read what I write, so I appreciate you for reading my silly little thoughts. Thanks again! Okay stuff tiiiiiiime— ## Interesting Stuff ### The Best Electronic Music on Bandcamp — July If you want to [[How to Find Music|find music]], then Bandcamp is always a fine place to start. Let me push you along with a [bunch of sick electronic music from last month](https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-electronic/the-best-electronic-music-on-bandcamp-july-2025)! ### The Mane Quest It’s [a website for horse games](https://www.themanequest.com)! Share with the horse gal (or guy or nonbinary pal) in your life. ### Obsidian Pets Someone put vscode pets [into Obsidian](https://github.com/LucasHJin/obsidian-pets). There is zero utility to this plugin, so of course I installed it immediately. ![[Vol 50 - Holy Crap there are 50 of These-1754843354946.png]] ### 6 Hours of GameCube Menu Music [I use this to write all the time now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMuAuHsos4Q). I have the .mp3, but here’s a YouTube video you can use too! ## Planted Recently Lots of writing about ways of working lately, dunno why! Hope it’s helpful though. [[A Day and You]] I wrote about two questions my therapist asked me that have really helped me out lately: “what does a productive day *actually* look like to you” and “what’s good about you?” [[A Good Note]] I love Obsidian and writing and note-taking, but I think Productivity Weirdos™️make note-taking feel very obfuscated while simultaneously being the secret to unlock the powers of Gods or whatever. So I wrote about what I think a good note actually *is*, why you’d write them, and how to not let them bog you down. ## Media Corner ### Games Playing: - **Diablo IV** - **Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven** - Yes again, what of it? - [[Granblue Fantasy Versus - Rising]] ### TV/Film - [[Superman (2025)]] - [[Predator - Killer of Killers]] - **Spaceballs** - [[My Melody and Kuromi]] ### Music Some absolute bangers this past week. - [[Anyway]] - [[Anamanaguchi]] - [[Metal Forth]] - [[Babymetal]] - **I Love My Computer** - Ninajirachi - **Seikatsu EP** - lilbesh ramko ## Status Update *In my Sonic the Hedgehog voice*: WOO! FEELING GOOD! I’m thinking about finally starting up a [[Plexamp Server]]. I can’t remember if I’ve brought it up here, but if I have then you can tell I’m thinking about it because I brought it up twice, lol. I already have a HD and DAS that I’m thinking about so I’ll probably act on that later in the year when I’ve got hella downtime [[IsA]]. ## Signing Off 50 issues! As many issues as how old I feel I’ve aged this year! Jokes aside, thank you again so much for reading.
