In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means.

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!!!
