Spam email can be quite hilarious at times. Especially hilarious are spam emails which threaten you with some kind of horrible outcome if you don’t comply with the demands listed. Yep, extortion email! These, sadly, actually work in some cases, hence why they keep going. You can find a previous example of this in an …

About That Post Scheduling Plan
As mentioned in the “What’s Coming For October 2019” article yesterday, I’m planning on a Monday through Friday schedule for posts this month, on a trial basis at least, to see how that affects things. There’s a few reasons for this, which I’ll go over here. Perhaps other bloggers may enjoy my insights and thought …

What’s Coming For October 2019 On Xadara
Oh boy, another one of these “what’s coming” posts where I talk about all the stuff I want to do, but never get done, around here. This months article will be no different, so let’s cut to the chase. Last month I decided to just “go with the flow” and while that was quite relaxing, …

We’re Preparing For Black Friday Already. Joy.
In past years I’ve written about working in retail during the holiday season, from the perspective of both an employee at big box retailers as well as one in a one-off game store. Honestly, I always want to write more about retail, but never seem to make time for it. Now, however, is as good …

So Much To Write, So Little Time
I feel like I write these kinds of entries far more often than I should, but then again I feel like there’s always something new coming up throwing a wrench into the works. I’ll keep this one brief — I’ve got a nice little list of topics I’ve wanted to cover recently (consider it the …

Memphis Weather Sucks
Fall begins here in the Northern Hemisphere on September 23rd. When you think of fall, you think of cool winds coming from the north, leaves falling off trees, Halloween and maybe Thanksgiving, jackets, and not having to run the AC all damn day. At least, that’s the way television and such have portrayed it for …

What I Learned From A Few Weeks Away From Facebook
A couple of weeks ago I made a decision to take a break from Facebook and just see what would happen. I’ve been a user of the social media site since about 2009 and for as useful as it’s been it’s also been quite an annoyance in my digital life — more so in recent …

The Kurisu Yamato Sabbatical | What I’ve Been Up To The Past Few Weeks
When I said at the beginning of the month that September was going to be a “when I feel like it” month for publishing content, I wasn’t kidding — I’ve written almost nothing the past week and a half, but for good reason. As mentioned in a previous update, I’ve been taking a break from …

What’s Coming For September 2019 On Xadara
At the end of every month I like to set up a “goals list” for the next month on this website in the form of these “What’s coming” articles. Each month I make some progress but never really “complete” these goals. This month is going to be different, as I’m not going to set any …

The Only Reaction Image I Will Ever Really Need
I was watching an old episode of Oddity Archive the other day and while it was based on a rather grim topic (nuclear disaster preparedness in the UK) an image was shown in the episode for a brief moment. It’s a rather funny image that I think speaks for itself – two men are carrying …

Making Time For Myself For Once | Escaping Social Media
So, there’s been another gap in me writing here and as usual I’d like to write about it, for what use it is to others who may read this. As usual, it’s had to do partially with me being tied up with other things, but also has to do with me spending time doing something …

It’s Funny, I Still Haven’t Opened My PlayStation Classic
I thought some of you out there might find it a little funny, after waiting nearly a month for the thing to come in, and having it in my possession for over a week and a half, I still haven’t even opened the dang thing! There’s a few reasons. For one, I’ve just been preoccupied …

The “Final” Space Article (For Now, Anyway…)
It’s been a few days since my last post here, and even with that the last few posts were all Apollo 11 related. The 50th anniversary was quite an event to be a part of, even passively as I was. More so than the actual shared experience, intensity and emotion was found in my own …

Amazon Is The Beast You Made It
The massive online retailer Amazon just finished up its “Prime Day” sale, a mid summer event where they offer deals which would normally be reserved for people with a “prime” subscription. At least, that’s the idea, there are claims all around the internet each year that the prices shoot up and then sales are taken …

I Don’t Game As Much As You Would Think…
I write about gaming quite a bit here. It’s one of my main hobbies and something I’ve enjoyed for as long as I can remember. The thing is, I don’t actually sit down and play games as often as people may think, or as I’d like to. While you may think I spend all my …
