The times of change are upon us. I'm moving to WordPress!

This was bound to happen sooner or later - I am moving from Blogspot to WordPress in a couple of days.

Yeah, no "normal" post this time, sorry. Lately I've decided that I'm done with Blogger. The platform was never that good to begin with. It had formating issues, the mobile app is a joke and lately they've cut the number of words in the search description. Especially that last change proved to be the main tipping point for me, as it hit my analitics very hard. I honestly don't know what kind of stuff people at Google are smoking, but it looks to me like they literally hate their premiere blogging platform and anyone who's using it.

Out with the old...

Back in 2014 I've decided to start using Blogger because it was convinient. I was able to control all of my social media platforms and accounts from one place, and for a time it proved to be a good decision. Unfortunately not anymore. The pitifully small ammount of tags that I can use for each post is just irritating, and sometimes when I've applied changes to a article, it messed the whole blog layout. As I've mentioned before, the Blogger mobile app is just... bad. It's useless really, as it has so few options available that it's not even funny.

Not to mention that I don't really own my blog in the first place. What the fuck, Google?

Choosing Blogger in the first place was a mistake and I plan to rectify that mistake as soon as possible. This week I'll move "It always rains in Nuln" to WordPress and I'll never look back. This platform was suggested to me by multiple people online, and it generally has a very solid opinion, so I think it's going to be a good choice in the end.

Oh and for the record - you were right, Andreas. I should've done this a long time ago.

Hopefully there won't be any problems and glitches, and my next post will be posted on the WordPress domain. The layout of the blog will almost certainly be different, but I will try to keep the current style as much as possible. I hope that WP has some cool widgets on offer. Another thing that I disliked a lot about Blogger, was that their selection of various addons and plugins was rather poor. Not to mention that Google removed some of them without any forewarning or a word of explanation...

So... that's it really. I'm sorry that this is just a boring PSA post, but I had to write it and inform you, my good readers, about the upcoming changes. I'm a creature of habit and so even though I dislike Blogger a lot, it will probably take some time for me to adjust myself to WordPress. Not to mention learning all of its mechanics and how-tos. However, in the end, I think that moving my blog to this new domain will be ultimately a good choice. Only time will tell, eh?

...in with the new!

Until next time!

Xathrodox86 reviews: "Mordheim: Warband Skirmish" (don't play this game!)

That's it. I've finally hit rock bottom. I've decided to review a friggin' mobile game... and a shitty one at that. Why are you people still following me? Seriously? All right, all right - let's be completely honest. For some time now I've been suffering what one might call a "writer's block". I don't know what to write about! I do have a bunch of book reviews in my head, as well as a couple of articles about the Adepta Sororitas (shout out to Sami who suggested this on Twitter), but still, I'm kinda burned out. I'm getting ready for my wedding, which is also a lot of work and stress, so there is also that, but still... I need to let off some steam, and what better way to do that, than review a shitty mobile game! Hang tight. We're in for one hell of a ride! "Mordheim: Warband Skirmish" is a 2017 tactical mobile game, created by the Legendary Games studio and released for iOS, Android and Amazon. It's a mobile...

The End Times: what went wrong? - part 2. Swearing intensifies

The End Times are in full swing. In January of 2015 we'll find out what everyone's favorite furry race will contribute to this world-shattering event. Meanwhile I still have to finish my thoughts on the whole thing and review both "Glottkin" and "Khaine" supllements. So let's get to it. On my last post I've written about things that I didn't liked in the "Glottkin" book. There are a few of them, I'll admit that. Particualry as I'm an Empire player, many of these "revelations" irk me to no end, however they are nothing compared to the complete shitfest that is "The End Times: Khaine". Now, just as was the case with Glottkin, this won't be a review. I'm saving my full opinion on the book's mechanics and units for later. I just want to share some of my personall thoughts about the fluff and the direction that the End Times themselves are heading to. Also I won't be talking about the "...

Sharing is caring! On the topic of my WFRP collection

Image
I've been regularly playing RPG's since late 2008. For me it all started with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, a classic title and one with a huge following. During the course of my long and ilustrious career as a Gamemaster (don't like being a player, sorry), I've decided to collect as many fan-made material, as possible, for every system that I've ran. This includes Warhammer 40,000 RPG's, classic World of Darkness and, of course, the venerable WFRP. For that last title I have undoubtedly the biggest collection of freebie goodies, which "weighs" 3 gigabytes and consists of nearly 2000 files. All are catalogued, labeled and sorted in their respective directories. There are fan-made materials for all 3. editions of Warhammer Fantasy RPG, something that can be interesting to anyone, who's a fan of the Old World (and beyond!). There's artwork there, as well! Altough not that particular piece (picture by Bartek Błaszczeć ) Now I want to shar...
