I got an email yesterday evening from YouTube regarding their partner program and some upcoming changes to it — the long and the short of it is they will no longer be allowing people to pre-sign the contract associated with the program; you’ll have to wait until you meet their stupid threshold to monetize before […]
After the pretty terrible showing last month from the Games with Gold lineup, I’ve gotta say I wasn’t hoping for much this time around. At first glance the selection looks like a joke, but once I looked a little more closely I’m seeing more to enjoy this time around. Let’s take a look. Starting off […]
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 […]
This is just a post to update readers that things are as fine as they can be on my end of things. The world is in a hell of a state right now — well, mainly the US is. The continued political strife is as heated as ever and, exactly as anyone with any sense […]
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 […]
Right, I’ve spent pretty much all of June taking a break – as my buddy Prince Watercress put it, kind of a “lost weekend” situation, but an intentional one of me just not caring about writing stuff. I’ve put out a few things here and there, but have otherwise been slacking very intentionally, resulting in […]
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 […]
