Katana ZERO

Katana Zero is a blisteringly fast slash-em-up with action that’s an absolute adrenaline rush.

This game has been under my radar since its release on the Nintendo Switch. I finally went ahead and got it and I am not disappointed. This game is a lot of fun! There’s a little bit of a learning curve and at first it might seem a little difficult but so far I haven’t lost my coolness –– or my patience.

I, shouldn’t have done it. I should have just stayed with what I have and not look around. But, the always curious — always unsatisfied — nerd in me, wanted to try. As I have mentioned before, I went ahead a created a Blot account. I wanted to see what it had to offer and why some of the cool kids I know use it, and I get why! It’s a very neat service and now that I got my system figured out even more so. However, I can’t decide, whether to keep my Mb setup or Blot’s. I made a list of the things I like and like-less from each service and…

It’s even! Can’t come up with a solid conclusion. For now I am maintaining, or rather, posting to both services in the hopes that one day I’ll make a decision but until then I’m just going back and forth in my head.

I normally don’t get work stuff get to me. A long time ago I learned it’s better to be a little desensitized and just play the corporate game and play it well. Today though, seems it has gotten the best of me and it took a year for that to happen. Today I’ll stay alone in the office chill and do my work alone before I get in trouble.

I have been playing around with Blot for a few days now and it’s an amazing service and there are many many things I love about it but… Is it really for me? I gotta say, Micro.blog has spoiled me rotten, everything from hosting, to posting (with or without images) and “managing” the site it’s so so easy and worry-free in many ways. I got all my Drafts actions and Shortcuts set in a way that makes everything 100x easier to post. Whereas, Blot requieres a little bit more “tinkering”, and as I am sure there are ways to make everything easy and more automated, I am having a hard time with it. I do appreciate all the help I have gotten so far from different members of the community, specially @joshsullivan whom I have been bombarding with questions for days. But for some reason trying to make it work and some of the stuff that I am having difficult with, it’s causing me more anxiety than anything else. Perhaps I’m just getting a little frustrated by overcomplicating things for myself with something that seems like an easy fun thing. I might still try a few things before I decide to give up on it. Like I’ve said, I don’t want to feel anxious about something that should be fun.

Why is that every time I get something new or learn something new, I don’t have anything to write about? Or at least nothing that will require me using my new stuff. For example, when I got my new 11" iPad Pro along with the keyboard, I was looking for any excuse to write and use my new toy. Nope! Got nothing — for a while!

Now, not only setup a Blot account (which I’m still playing and testing with) but also a sweet way to include images to my posts using my favourite app Drafts! I got nothing!

So I decided to just write this post, with no added value whatsoever, throwing random images simply because I want to test said workflow thing!

It seems like I can make this blot thing work. I found, or rather, someone directed me to this combination of Drafts/Shortcuts actions created by Craig Mcclellan that let me add image links to my blog post and then I can post from Drafts to Blot (or even Micro.blog if I wanted to).

I’ll keep you updated…

Last night had setup a blot account and today I got pretty much every post exported to it. Everything went pretty smoothly I think except that some of my links are, not broken, but the formatting it’s wrong. I guess I can fix that somehow. I love the look of the default theme, I think was one of the reason I wanted to give blot a try, not the only reason though. Anyway now that’s done, now I’m thinking about how this move may affect my blogging workflow. For sure it seems like Ulysses pr iA Writer would be two good apps for writing and editing my blogposts since they integrate with Dropbox well. But I feel like I’m also adding more complexity to the way I blog. Right now the way Micro.blog handles my posts and images it’s super easy and convenient. Whereas with blot I’d have to create folders in Dropbox and add these images “manually” in ways I’m not used to. Also now I’m thinking that I’d have to upgrade my Dropbox account because eventually I’m going to run out of space and that would be another subscription I need to worry about. I’ll keep playing with it, see how I feel about it and the changes that will come.
