Vol. 52 - Incremental Progress
This week: thoughts on gacha, the endless march of time, and a bunch of nostalgic catch up.
Have you taken a day off work if you’re able to? If you haven’t done it in a while, you should! Get some rest gamer.
You know what else will help you relax? This week’s sunday paper, provided your resident minty fresh writer. Which is just a bunch of words to say: on to the stuff!
Interesting Stuff
I Hate the Word Content
I was going to write a post about this, but this blog post is literally everything I was going to write, to the point that if I went through it I’d probably be accused of plagiarism. So go read that instead!
CRKD Rhythm Guitars
I promise this isn’t a sponsorship — was just taking a trip down memory lane and remembered how my family was always unable to afford Guitar Hero. So it might be time to make good on some envy removal.
DDR Home Pads
Just reread the last paragraph and then click the link. Something something nostalgia arc real, alright??
Obsidian Bases
They’re available to everyone now, not just catalyst users! Yippie! Check out the documentation. Again, not a sponsored post, this time it’s just because I’m a zealot!

Status Update
Not including the newsletters, I’ve written 157 posts in taniyn.quest this year! I’m quite happy with that pace. Assuming I stopped today, that’s a post for almost every other day of the year. That’s a lot of writing!
Also: I am taking some time off, LOL. Could you tell from that intro? I again encourage you to do so yourself, if you can. We’re ⅔ of the way through the year. Catch your breath!
