In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again. Ordinary changes, but enough to make me want to write about them, and even to start a new pos...

In which I wait for the new Civilization VI DLC!

Hello everyone!! Happy Thursday to you! I'm in anxiety-excitement mode, how are you? How are things going? I wish you the best, and hope everything is going well for you! How is the weather where you are? I hope it is calm and fresh, here it is cold, which is amazing! I'm wearing a sweater and my socks, and I'm hyping about the new DLC coming out today for Civ VI, so let's talk about it! Shall we? We shall!


The new Ethiopia DLC is coming out today with a new Civ that I already mentioned, and a new game mode: the secret societies one! Ethiopia is the one thing about it I'm mostly excited about! This coming back civ is based on the ancient Kingdom of Ethiopia-Abyssinia, a nation in Africa famous for being the only christian nation surrounded by a sea of Islam. Menelik II, the leader coming to represent the civ on the game, said so, and was very proud of his dominions, making much to expand its borders, fight rival nations in Africa and Europe, as the new italian Nation had a little bit too much interest in it to leave it be, bringing some railroads to the country and also abolishing slave trade, so he took some key steps in modernizing the country. Ethiopia has always been an isolated country, a country of highlands and orthodox faith, the lonely lion of Judah, and this is represented in Civilization as well, in their faith based gameplay, being able to build extra special churches on hills, being able to have extra faith from trade route and resources. This is not a new approach to Ethiopia, as Civ V had a very similar approach to it, being leaded by the famous poet-king Haile Selassie, a descendent of Menelik! The Ras Tafari Makkonen! And in a crazy move, the unlikely influencer behind the Rastafari movement in Jamaica, a whole continent away, and that doesn't have much to do with the actual christian beliefs of Haile. Well, he was quite the figure, so is Menelik, so is this Kingdom in Africa, that once tried to be an equal to its european brothers in faith.
Well, now into Secret Societies! They appear to be quite interesting, I can't wait to put my hands in them, we'll have 4 different societies, that were already revealed, but that I forgot the name lol, and also forgot what they do, in spite of watching their annoucement video more than once. Also, they are coming with a diplomatic district, which appears to be really interesting, but it pales in comparison to Ethiopia, and even with the secret societies. Many are in hype mode about all those new changes, and I am one of them!
Well, I'm still waiting here, the pack will be released at 1PM! All this waiting is killing me! I should play something in order to apease my soul, or hang out with some friend, well, anyway, I'm waiting!
