hello its me lynn! this page serves as a record of things i have wished for. unlike a typical wishlist, this contains things like coincidences, rare events, forgotten media or unclear information.

- verylittlebeef, a streamer/soundcloud artist, uploaded a song to soundcloud around 2020-2021 about Simply (another streamer) and left part of the track open for him to record his own verse. her account and this particular song have been removed from soundcloud. i want to know if he ever acknowledged her, recorded anything, or if this track actually exists anywhere still. here's a twitch clip of part of the instrumental and her explaining the idea.
- there was a tower defense minigame on a minecraft server i played on (cubecraft) and i want to play it again. it was (silently?) removed and there are apparently no plans to bring it back. it was hard to find a decent video about it, but there's this one
- i want a kudos bar. after a lot of bad press about them being unhealthy, mars eventually announced they would stop making them, and in 2020 they confirmed they would not come back.
- after the dawn of youtube, there were many videos i watched, still remember, but can't find anywhere. (CW: implied gore) one of these was a promotional video for another website/event/media thing, and it started as a closeup of a guy on a hospital table/bed, and some kind of rodent like a gerbil on top of him. the gerbil says to the guy something to the effect of "next time it'll be your kidneys" and it cuts to a wide shot where he's missing some part or parts of his body and then a logo appears. i dont have much info about this other than it being published sometime between 2005-2007 because youtube was still very new and i remember vividly that my whole family watched it together just browsing the site at my dad's office and we were all creeped out by it
- music producer MARCIOZ removed a ton of his early tracks from soundcloud. i have been able to find archives of his work, but i can't really tell if any of them are complete. i want to be certain that i have a full archive of his music, or pay for it somehow, because i associate his music with a really special period of time in my life.
- this is a pretty weird one, but i remember the packaging of the charleston chew bar being less terrible?? the last few times ive tried them the plastic wrapper just tears too easily, or gets stuck to the inside of the bar and making parts of it inedible. im almost certain it used to just be like a normal candy bar wrapper and the inside of the bar wouldn't just leak out and adhere to the plastic. i feel like this is a very delusional and "why do you even remember this" kind of wish but it's here it's a complete list ok!!! i dont even want them to change the packaging or anything i just want to know if i have some weird false memory or if the packaging really did get worse
- there is a specific sound that i want to hear again, and i remember hearing it as a baby/toddler from the baby einstein program for vhs. i think it was like a yelling sort of sound, coming from probably the green dragon puppet, or something otherwise out of the ordinary. i have looked at many videos of baby einstein and while the puppets surely make a lot of sounds, none of them have itched my brain properly so i think i have still not found it probably
fulfilled
i want to find the name of a WiiWare app that let you create music using preset loops with multiple channels. it had a lot of different types of sounds, spanning many genres, mostly house/techno stuff, and im pretty sure you could only change the bpm or do very minor changes to the presets themselves. i think it was free(?) and the best part about it was that you could export to an SD card and i still have a CD that i burned one of the tracks to. i could probably upload that here if requested found! it was Mix Superstar
i also felt like this list would feel a little too... depressing without a little collection of things that i DID find and consider to be important to me. so yeah here's a list of stuff like that
important stuff AKA if these get removed from the internet i will cry
- full playlist of the first yogscast minecraft lets play series. incredibly sentimental to me, watched this during middle school
- full playlist of the is it a good idea to microwave this series. watched this sometime between late primary/early middle school
- this song was sent to me by a specific friend i met in high school that i no longer have any contact with. if you're reading this, hi brian! i miss you
- thecomputernerd01 parodies. mostly just this one that i can remember the most but they are all precious media to me
- one thing that took me a while to find was "pokemon spoof". i couldnt remember the name of it so for a while i didnt even try searching, but apparently it is literally just called pokemon spoof based on different uploaders and there's a specific moment in it where ash is thinking about a beyonce song instead of his pikachu getting stolen and when i fucking found it it was such a rush because i was thinking about it a lot
- full playlist of the bmnc pokemon parody episodes. i used to quote this a lot as a kid and i couldnt believe it was still complete. somehow this channel is unavailable but the videos are still up, so i hope this doesnt get removed eventually
- my introduction to music outside of mainstream media started in middle school, when a friend named tyler showed me this song. he asked me if i knew what dubstep was, and i said no, and he told me i had to listen to it. he also recommended some other doctor p songs and i eventually realized that i had already heard dubstep made by deadmau5 and liked that at the time. deadmau5 is somewhat famous for hating dubstep so i just think it's really funny that my first memory of electronic music is his only(?) dubstep song. both of these songs are important to me because they define the moments i started to become deeply involved with listening to music and after finding more and more music after that it became my primary interest
