I’ve been doing an incredibly good job at accomplishing absolutely nothing over the past few months with regards to this website. It’s one of those cases where once you break the habit of working on it, you never get back to it. That hasn’t been intentional, but the past 4 months have been quite transformative …

Moving Forward
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 …

The State Of Xadara And What I’ve Been Working On – 6/18/2020
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 …

What’s Coming For May 2020 On Xadara
Well, you can’t say April wasn’t a productive month here on Xadara. Hell, things almost felt down right normal the past month, especially when you consider everything going on globally right now. So, with one month ending and another beginning, it’s time for the “What’s Coming” article for May 2020. Right now I’m in a …

What’s Coming For April 2020 On Xadara
We’re in quite a unique time in history, what with the whole Coronavirus situation and how that’s affecting life for most everyone on Earth in some way. That being said, most people are trying to, in one way or another, keep things pretty normal in their lives during this, and that’s no exception here on …

13 Years Of Xadara
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started as a site for a music game related personal project, became more of a “general purpose” blog with some static, outdated …

It’s Good To Be Back
It’s been damn near two weeks since the last entry on this site and, now that the chaos has settled, it’s time for things to get back to normal around here. To say that when I wrote the “change is inevitable” entry I didn’t expect it to be such a dramatic case of life imitating …

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Frontier? (Or, Another WordPress Theme Change)
As you might have noticed, things look very, very different around here. That’s because I found a new theme I liked — this one going by the name of “Pen” and amazingly, for all its raw power, complex code, and beauty it’s free (with some premium options, of course.) To say the previous theme, Frontier, …

A Look Back At 2019 On Xadara
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” …

A Week Of Transition
Here we are, the final day or so of 2019. While I’m not one to get into the whole “new years resolution” thing (mostly due to the arbitrary nature of years, more on that in the future maybe (joke not intended)) I am one to take the opportunity of such an event to shake things …

What’s Coming For December 2019 On Xadara
Now that the insanity of this past week (including Black Friday) is over, just what do I have planned for December 2019? Well, to start off with, I’m going to bloody rest. This past week has been non-stop work for me in one form or another – I cranked out more articles than normal for …

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, …

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 …

Adding Images To AVGN Articles – The Final Update
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 …

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 …
