In Which a Train of Thought is Kept Longer than it usually is... A short comment on the Nature of Work as well

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Tell me, how are you? How is the weather? For me, it is the coldest it has been in a year or so. 21 Celsius, and I must say, I love it. I want to enjoy every minute of it, it will likely not be as cold anytime soon. And I am okay, though again, a lot of mental turbulence due to specially loneliness. I am affected by trauma also, and I really prefer not to use such word, it risks raising the level of hyperbole, and devaluing the rest, but I have no other word for it, it is trauma, and it exhausts me, it is like a pike in my brain, I hate it, it hurts physically. Of course, when I write such vulnerable line, I risk attracting some bad thought by someone, that desires to analyze my every move. I don't like that. Instead, this is just about some sad events over the course of high school and hints of it after, with some bad interactions on social media. This is not to invite scrutiny over my ideals, they are my own in spite of the ...

In which we talk BRIEFLY about my first impressions on Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition!

Hey guys and good morning and happy Saturday! How are you today and how are things going? How is the weather? Here it is HOT! I don't wanna say too hot, but you guys know me, I'm a person that prefers the cold, anyway, I wish you the best, as usual! Today's post is gonna be improv as usual, and it will be a bit its and bits because I'm watching the Saxy Gamer Livestream while I write! I had class today also, which is odd, but the teacher explained the situation, so yea, it happens! Today I'd like to ramble just a bit about the DE of AOE! What does that mean? Let's jump in to see!

So, I've been a long life fan of Age of Empires, been playing since 2005, so I even got the Remaster of AOE III, my favorite, in pre-sale! When the day come, October 15th, took FOREVER to upload the game! The download part was somewhat fast, but the unpack of the game? Dear God took 105 years! Anyway, so I played it, and I lost my first game playing as Sweden, the new civ added, I'm a bit rusty on the game, because I haven't played it since February, so I think that's excusable, even if I lost it on stream. What I've seen from the game, they changed some stuff. Example: The Iroquois and Sioux Civs are no more, being replaced by more "accurate representations" or whatever this means... It's interesting that they care so much about "accuracy" because have you seen the Metropolis for Russia, St. Petersburg?

This screenshot is from 2014 as you can see, so this is not the definitive edition at all, but they didn't change the look of the metropolis, just made it 4K quality, so yea, moving on, you must agree that...

It definitely do not look like that at all, and this comes from a game that puts Elizabeth I and Frederick II of Prussia on the same map, and it goes on, anyway, this is merely aesthetics, the most significant change is the fact that you don't need to level up to unlock better cards on the game, which is a big bummer if I do say so myself, because that kind of takes away the investment and the care you have for that city state, but I don't know, I get it, it can have its good side, but I still think it's kind of a bummer....

They changed the banner for Russia as well, and changed the images for the leaders. I think the most significant one, apart from the aesthetic changes, is the card system indeed. It is a bummer as well that you can't customize the home city for Sweden, Stockholm, even if it does look gorgeous already. I also found some glitches while playing, but well, enough with the rant, I think the remaster is okay, a 8-10 for sure, but those are only my first impressions, because the thing was only now released, we gotta see my final opinion as time goes by, if I remember I'll try to write it down here as well... Anyway, you guys know my improv style, thank you so much for being here, means a lot! Have a peaceful weekend and I see you real soon!
