Over the years here on Xadara I’ve covered all kinds of topics — historic triumphs and tragedies, science and technology from the futures of space travel to something as humble as the rotary phone, and all manor of entertainment media from gaming to television to movies to just, whatever. This website has always been an extension of me as a person, but over the past few years the spirit has been… unfocused… here. That is to say, as life continues and I spend my efforts online focusing on other aspects of the web (primarily YouTube) and a heavy, and time intensive focus on combating pseudoscience and all kinds of, for lack of a better term, outright evil being spouted day in day out by so many people in some form of power.
Still, my joy is found in more modest things — old tech, gaming, sci-fi movies, absurdist animation from my late teens, I still like all these things, but my sharing of my appreciation of these things has been stifled here, over the past few years.
In a sense, to me, as the author here, Xadara felt… disjointed.
I’ve been thinking about this fact off and on for a while now — years. It’s finally come to me that honestly, that’s a strength and not a weakness — this is a site about what I as the person I am wish to write about and share.In the same way as me streaming Castlevania: Symphony of the Night randomizer gameplay on the same YouTube channel I debunk christofascism on, as facets of me as a person, so too should my site continue to be — anything and everything that I wish to share because, in the end, it’s all me and my thoughts.
The subject should not determine if I write about it or not — I should just type what I feel a passion to express int he moment, and let it be, as I did a decade ago.
I guess you could say we’ve come full circle. Maybe. Hopefully. We will see how this week goes.
Science. Technology. History. Gaming. Society. Skepticism.
Entries about the above, and more, will return to regular publication here.
