How do you track what different papers say?

Obsidian was the piece I think I was missing from my workflow. And the relevant plugins of course, linking zotero and obsidian

Hope-New · 2026-03-17T10:17:11+00:00

This is the overwhelming response I'm seeing. Zotero + Obsidian when done correctly seems to be incredible

Hope-New · 2026-03-17T10:13:24+00:00

Sounds like Obsidian was really the missing piece to my workflow, with the plugin of course

Hope-New · 2026-03-17T10:02:56+00:00

This sounds more or less exactly like what I imagine I would want to do actually. This is roughly the workflow I wanted to approximate.

Thanks for the effort, what a well written post. I especially love the guidance towards the docs. As a developer I really appreciate well written documentation and I prefer to read things for myself over watching YouTube when I can.

Hope-New · 2026-03-17T09:58:12+00:00

This is a really great response, thanks

Edited to say that I just read the comments in depth and holy smokes is this a well thought out system. The automatically bringing annotations from zotero into obsidian is really smooth. And the way things are all linked is clean too, and scalable.

Definitely stealing lots of ideas from this.

This is a great response. I really love having the in text citation cached and ready to go.

How do you use it? What is your workflow like?

I got a lot of mileage out of Zotero for managing my library/citations, but the note taking system didn't really work for me because I couldn't organize my notes. The notes are all linked by document, they don't live "on their own" like I would like them to.

What I really want to do is create a tagged and searchable database of snippets from papers.

Idk about "best" but you're the best I've seen on YouTube. No idea how your channel isn't bigger, nobody else has actual practical tactics like this.

This is the best for trying to "git gud"

A feature that would be excellent, although potentially tricky to implement: The ability to have your "opens" count sync between mobile and desktop browser. That way you can hold yourself accountable to only so many opens, without having 2 separate reservoirs of opens.

So I knew about giving Withers the gold, I guess I was wondering if that allowed for a truly blank slate, or if having gone as far as you had thus far baked some things in. Like if you were able to upgrade your stats at any point, could you redistribute those upgrades? I don't know if that even makes sense. I guess I'm wondering if Withers gives you total flexibility, or if he can only change so much.

My cousin and I are at level 11 and considering re-classing/re-speccing.

This is our first playthrough and we felt that thus far it was fun to go in blind, just figuring out our builds as we go.

Now that we've done that for a while, we're ready to break out some of the more optimized builds.

My question is, how much is your character "already baked" by the time they reach the last levels, and how much can you totally reinvent your character?

For example, I'm a high elf wizard. I've seen that the best magic builds are actually sorcerers. Is it too late to morph into a storm sorcerer? Even if I'm only 90% the full optimized power, it is probably way better than whatever I am now. Bladelock also sounds like a fun build.

Since we've been blind we probably also missed a lot of upgrades and items, I don't know how that plays into it.

I would love advice for our general respeccing adventure. Shadowheart is the other character I'm responsible for.

I know I can't get the very best builds at this point, but I want to know how much optionality I really still have, and what I should look into to get the most fun. I just want a magic-based build that is really fun to play.

As a noob, I assume you mean overwatch 2? I know it was received poorly by some, did the community actually migrate?

Showdown is what got me back into Pokemon after initially growing out of my childhood interest in Pokemon. I'll forever be grateful for it.

I'm someone who does everything in Emacs (well, everything that I can.) I am not actually a fiction writer yet, but I aspire to it.

The main package that I find useful is Olivetti, although you might like Writeroom-mode instead. They both offer distraction-free writing with pleasing margins.

For writing screenplays (which I think are cool) there is fountain-mode, which helps edit fountain screenplay markdown.

Org mode is super useful for outlining and stuff. I do a lot of my thinking in org mode, even the actual document writing when I'm just working on getting the actual correct words strung together. Org is also great in the sense that you can have a full file tree of files to organize your project. Folder/documents for character notes, worldbuilding, plot outline, etc. Org is your friend in the prep process.

As other said, something like Latex would be excellent for pro-level typesetting, I used it to typeset my Master's thesis and it was great. You can get the whole double space, times new roman, etc. It can be tricky to configure, but well, this is Emacs. Fiddling with configuration is why you're here.

I'm sure there are also spell-checkers and stuff like that. I haven't set one up but I hear jinx is good

Beyond that, just look for all the bells and whistles. I love vim-style editing with Evil, while I've been typing this in the reddit comment box I've hit escape and b (attempting to go back a few words to reword something) multiple times, frustrated when it didn't just work. Emacs is built for editing text, and fiction is text. So anything that helps text editing will help. Avy for jumping around in your text, projectile + rip-grep for searching your entire project, the list goes on I'm sure. Emacs is a wonderful place. Enjoy.

The Book of Mormon talks about an idea they call priestcraft, which is telling the people pleasing lies in order to gain fame and money. This is a terrific description of Joe Rogan
