Over the past few months I’ve written very little. I’ve been making a lot of time for myself, working on some other projects which I intend to write about here and, most critically, somewhat stepping away from so many things which are a source of stress in my life. Be it stupidity online, situations in […]
It’s been damn near two weeks since my last update, and I just wanted to chime in and say I’m fine and things are okay on a whole, beyond the fact it’s nearly 100 degrees every damn day now (38 Celsius for those of you in the rest of the world) and that’s incredibly exhausting […]
I’m not going to lie – I didn’t even want to write this one. I know I’m normally one to be optimistic about the games coming each month, but for July 2020 the selection is a joke. Yes, I’m saying that. I certainly always try to look on the good side of what’s being offered […]
Well, when I said I was taking a break and just “going with the flow” in June, I didn’t think it would be that extreme. Yes, I published a few entries, and took time for other things, but certainly took more time for myself than I intended. Ah well, it happens. So, moving on to […]
I’ve not written much this month as I’ve been recently taking quite a bit of time to just indulge in some other hobbies of mine and detach from all the chaos going on in the world right now. I covered this in a bit of detail in a previous entry, and touched on some of […]
The fact that Google has so much power over how people run their websites is nothing short of a travesty to the very nature of the world wide web. They, in effect, strong arm website authors and administrators into using various techniques and standards or face some kind of search or display penalty, even if […]
Yesterday Sony finally showed off the design of the PlayStation 5 and all I could think upon seeing it was that it looks nothing like the developer systems which everyone seemed to think the actual hardware would resemble. In two entries I covered this subject. In January I wrote “No, the PlayStation 5 is not […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d have to be aware of the rather chaotic state that things are in in the United States right now – between the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also had yet another issue of police oppression and this one seems to be the straw that broke the camels back, as […]
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 […]
Yes, you’re reading that correctly – XadaraCast is back! Yes, I make that sound far more exciting than it is, because we all know the internet totally needed another podcast but damn if I haven’t for years really wanted to have one of these going and damn if each time I try things just kind […]
You know the drill – new month, new games to look at with the Xbox Games with Gold program. The Xadara tradition continues with what looks like a pretty okay month. Let’s get going. On the Xbox One we have Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse and Coffee Talk. Okay, another Shantae game. Cool, I still […]
It’s incredible how many people can’t follow basic instructions and are unable to do something as simple as cover both their mouth and nose with a mask when out and about. I know I’m not the first to talk about this, and this article has been planned for a few weeks but I never got […]
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, […]
If you’ve been to this site at all in the past few months you certainly will recall the rather beautiful, yet very “heavy” theme I had switched to, known as “Pen” and will certainly notice that, for now, I’ve switched back to the older theme I had been using: Frontier. This isn’t because I don’t […]
Nothing lasts forever, especially in the realm of technology, and as much I hate to admit it even the items in my modest collection can, and sometimes will, give up the ghost and just become inert hunks of plastic, metal, and sometimes glass. That, however, will not happen without me putting up one hell of […]
