The Taniyn Newsletter Vol. 23: Digging In
Hello hello!
I often feel like I don't deserve to shake the tip jar for all the creative stuff I do because I already have a full-time job. But I feel like I've been putting so much of myself into this stuff on my weekends off that I can be a little more selfish and start doing that. So I'll be slapping my ko-fi link at the end of these newsletters now. Hope that's alright with y'all. :)
With that said: let's see what's good!
Interesting Stuff
Retro Game Corps on the RGSP
I got one of these and I love them! I've brought them up before when making A Quick Guide on Retro Handheld Emulators, but Russ of Retro Game Corps just put out a video explaining the pros (and some cons) to the device that explains it in better detail than I could. Check it out!
Earthbound Battle Backgrounds
For some reason I was reminded of this website that generates Earthbound battle backgrounds! It still works! Sadly the Android live wallpaper doesn't anymore, or I would have definitely grabbed it again. It's cute!
Planted this Week
Thoughts on Dome Keeper
This is a very cute and good Infiniminer-type game crossed with a tower defense. I'm super into it so I wrote some quick thoughts, despite being burnt out on writing lately, so check it and the game out!
Media Corner
Besides Dome Keeper, I finally finished Rise of the Ronin. It was fine! The worst of the Team Ninja games so far, but that still led to me putting 60 hours into it and giving it like a 7 or 8 out of 10 lol. Besides that, just been bouncing between Nioh 2 and Wo Long. They are my cocomelon, and will give me something to do with my hands until Visions of Mana and Gundam Breaker 4 come out...on the same day...whyyyyyy...
I sat my sister down to watch The First Slam Dunk since I knew she wouldn't otherwise. That's my third time watching it, and it's easily one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. Definitely give it a look if you haven't.
On the music front, Asian Kung-Fu Generation just dropped a collection of singles called...Single Collection. Very cool. I also got a vinyl of the FLCL singles that were all compiled by the Pillows, so that'll be fun to listen to.
Status Update
My fiancé and I recently started a ritual where we list what we've been grateful for about each other before we go to bed. It can be 3 things or 300, but at least one thing should be said. It's been very nice to both give and receive, especially after a very difficult week for me. Give it a shot!
Signing Off
Hoping this upcoming week is a little easier for me. And I hope yours is too! Thanks for reading! Hit the ko-fi link below if you like what I've been putting out!
