The Taniyn Newsletter Vol. 21 - Borfday Week
Look! I'm back when I said I would be! Never say I don't keep my promises. (You can still say that)
Anyways let's get to it!
Interesting Stuff
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond HUD by Jon Wofford
A very interesting look at the HUD UI/UX for Samus in the next game. As someone with a career in this area, I had a blast reading this!
Wiby
Remember when Google didn't suck? That's what this is!
Curiomatic Fonts
A bunch of cool fonts I stumbled upon! I've added it to the Fonts page as well!
Gen AI - Too Much Spend - Too Little Benefit
Highlighted this great article on why the AI bubble is falling apart.
Planted this Week
Thoughts on the Baten Kaitos Origins Battle System
It is, in fact, time to duel.
The Appeal of Grind Games
I wrote about why it's fun to do the same thing over and over and over again!
Romancing SaGa 3 Tips
If you ever get around to playing this sick-ass game, keep this around to get started!
6 Hours of Trails Through Daybreak
Wrote some thoughts on the new entry-point into the Trails series.
Media Corner
Got a lot of stuff during the Steam Sale, which means, of course, that I'm playing Nioh 2 again. I've also been playing The First Descendant, which I might write about. Is it the best game I've ever played? No. But Doritos aren't the best food I've ever eaten, yet I still like them. Does that make sense?
Status Update
It's my borfday week! I'm going on vacation, so no newsletter next week. I'm looking forward to hanging out with friends, eating some good-ass food, and not being at this desk for a few days. I love my battlestation, but if I sit at it for too long I start losing my mind, not gonna lie.
Signing Off
Have a wonderful day!
