In Which I recall some older days, and mental tiredness due to a game I am ambivalent about

Good morning, friend! I wish you, of course, a wonderful Tuesday. How are you? And how have you been? How is the weather? Here it has been not as hot as in late march, I think we are indeed approaching the height of Fall and the gates of Winter, but also, not as coherent as it can be, in the beautiful greys of June and July. As for me, I am... Okay? I did have a messy couple of months, when I think about it, as I described to my dietitian yesterday. I think some therapy could do me good? I certainly miss it. I of course can't return now due to the lack of funds, but it is not as urgent, either, given I am stable as long as I have my medicine for mental regulation of the humors. Right now I am just tired, guess a reason to write today's post, I was not planning to write as much in the beginning of today. I am mentally exhausted. It is how I feel after every match of Victoria 3, which is a game that it is haed for me to say if I actually love it, or just play compulsively. Defini...

In which we talk about the Soundtrack of Anno 1800!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday and Weekend! Wish you the best! How are you today and how are things going? I hope all is well! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, hot and hot, wish it was fresher, but no, unfortunately the weather has other plans for my region, and so be it, well I have my fans, wish I could turn on the AC but I guess it's too early for it, anyways, I have something to share with you guys today! It is about Anno as well!!!



So, the soundtrack of this game, in contrast to Anno 1404, is less progressive in terms of how you build your city, which means it doesn't change overtime, so being more static, but even so extremely beautiful and cinematographic, in fact I think this was the objective of the whole game, to be both cinematographic and a videogame, which is a tendency these days, much more than it was in Anno 1404, which is fine, the games are different, even if they share similarities, I love them both, I'm just sad that Anno 1404 is so poorly optimized, always crashing on computer, even on my new one, that is better than my old one, anyway, back to the soundtrack, it is calm and formal, gracious and discrete, just like the victorian aesthetic of the 19th century, a century that valued dignity, discrete behavior, politeness and everything related to it, the same for this Soundtrack. And it doesn't stop there, it has some latin vibes to it too, inches and hints of it here and there, which is more than amazing in my opinion! Definitely worth the try! Anno has such a wonderful soundtrack, I should write more about it in the future if I can! And well this is what I have to offer for today! Thank you so much for being here dear reader, you are the very best! Hope to see you again next time! Happy Weekend to you!
PS: Here is my Anno 1800 Logo, isnt it cute? I love it so much!!!
