It would be just like me to not get the “what’s coming” article for the next month out until we’re already 3 days in the month, but what can I say, I’ve been working on other projects the past few days and really making some headway into some things that I will, hopefully, write about […]
I’ve not been posting much over the past few weeks. Normally I say that this is due to me being tied up with other things or just not feeling it, but in this case it’s the opposite – I’ve actually been incredibly productive on fronts of both my day to day life and side projects, […]
Well, backlog week was kind of a wash – in those 5 days I only actually touched on one singular entry which was part of the backlog — the Japanese MacBook post. I wound up working more than usual last week (this week looks to be following the same pattern) and didn’t have time to […]
Today marks 13 years since I decided “fuck it, I need a website” and registered the domain name xadara.com. In the past I’ve gone over the history of the site — how it started as a site for a music game related personal project, became more of a “general purpose” blog with some static, outdated […]
At the start of February I said that “change” was coming to the site – a slightly different focus and flow was going to be the name of the game, so to speak. March is, honestly, going to be no different. I got a little sidetracked in implementing some of my plans this past month […]
I honestly don’t even know this this post will actually get published, let alone shared, as currently I’m unable to get the “new post” page on Xadara to load. Well, that is, unless I disable the Jetpack plugin — a very helpful tool (practically mandatory for any serious WordPress blogger) which helps with statistics collection, […]
This isn’t exactly news that anyone is going to care about — it was something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, but simply hadn’t done due to the massive amount of procrastination I do on a daily basis — but I finally got rid of the Xadara Facebook page, to the dismay […]
Yeah, we’re a month late on this one. Don’t quite know how that happened, but better late than never – this time around I have, straight from the Echidna’s mouth, the plans my friend “Prince Watercress” has for 2020. For those who don’t know who he is, I’ll give you a short primer: He’s been […]
I really didn’t want to end today without having written something. I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak recently with posts here, but today work really demanded my all and since I’ve gotten home I’ve felt like nothing but trying to relax. Still, I want to keep the momentum of this hot streak […]
Well, that’s it. The final post of the year, the one where I take a look back at the previous 365 or so days and ask myself “was this all worth it?” Okay, not really, but I like to see what all happened over the past year. As I kind of “go with the flow” […]
It took quite a few hours of downloading, image selecting, editing, uploading, and article refinement to make it happen, but it’s actually complete — every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode review here on Xadara has at least one image associated with it! I’d estimate it took about 5 hours of solid work to make […]
Last month a began a process to update all of my previous Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to have images from the episode being reviewed. This was something I neglected when starting the project and in retrospect wish I had done from the beginning. In any case, the last batch of episodes I did […]
I know, I know, it’s already March 5th, almost 6th as I write this, but hey, I haven’t done an update since last months “Coming Soon” article which I thought would feel more natural than these, but in retrospect was even more forced feeling! Instead of talking specifics, I’ll be a bit more general on […]
I had a long post planned here, but didn’t feel it was quite right, so I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. No, I won’t have the usual in depth explanations of what I mean here – I’ve done enough of that, and and won’t waste my time explaining it further. People choose […]
Oh, look, it’s the end of the year. Cool. While a bit arbitrary it’s still an event happening, and is usually sued as a good point for recapping the past and for starting something new. That being the case, why not recap 2018 here on Xadara and put it all into perspective? Let’s begin. The […]
