The Taniyn Newsletter Vol. 26: Discourse But Positive
Yo!
By the time you're reading this I'm hopefully treating myself with a deep tissue massage. I need to expel the demons inside of me.......[1]
Okay! It's newsletter time!
Interesting Stuff
Capacities
I quite like Capacities, but I had to drop it because it was online-only. But not anymore! So I'm recommending it this week. If you're looking for a nice, easy to use PKM app, check it out. I still love Obsidian as my personal system, but I'm back to using Capacities for work since I like to keep those two halves of me separate.
Phosphor
A nice collection of free icons! Check it out designers.
Mirlo
A neat bandcamp alternative! I love alternatives.
Microsoft PowerToys
Quick question: why aren't these just added to Windows by default? Another godlike decision from the Big M, huh. "Here's a great bunch of features that make Windows significantly more useful, but also you have to find them yourself. :)" Cool! Currently in love with FancyZones, Peak, and Always-On-Top[2]
Planted this Week
Thoughts on the Discourse Forum Software
Just some words on the software I use to run Auldnoir! I'm quite smitten with it. The true thesis in here is about how I enjoy forums as a whole though, lol.
Media Corner
Games
So first I was depression-holing Rune Factory 4 again, which was going great. But then I got gifted Diablo IV, so I'm depression-holing that instead. Quite efficiently I'd say - I was given it on Friday and I'm already here:
Oops!
TV/Film
I'm binging Love is Blind: UK finally! It's quite boring, innit? Br*sh people are too normal, sadly. There's been a bit of drama but nothing nearly as egregious as on the American version. Nobody does unhinged reality TV like the US of A baby, WOO. Gonna binge the most recent season with my fiancé to get some real tea going.
Music
Some albums / tracks for you this week!
Capsule's Pride - Nathan Micay
Shout out to eramdam for this one!
Apostate of Hate - The Babayaga
LOST CORNER - Kenshi Yonezu
Status Update
Honestly not too bad of a week overall. I'm taking some time off next week, which I'm glad to be doing. I almost didn't because I'm either a workaholic or worried about what it'd say about me if I took the time off, but now I got plenty of time for Gundam Breaker 4 and Visions of Mana babyyyyy. Not sure if I'll be dropping a letter next Sunday, we'll see!
