In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which I end Up Skipping a week on the blog

Hello everyone, and good morning! How are you today? How are things going? I hope 2021 has been smooth and on the calm side, and I do wish you the best, as I always do, as I always will do, it's the best I can do, after all. How is the weather? Here, it's been, so far, a somehow, more mild summer. It's been really hot still, and when I have to leave my house I struggle with the heat a lot, BUT, at home, with the fan on, I don't face too much struggle. Maybe I do get sweaty when I'm on the kitchen doing stuff, which sucks, but I've seen some cloudy days, which usually I don't get to see much this time of year, so yea!

Sorry for skipping last week, it happened a bit on the unpredictable side, I didn't write anything on Wednesday, on Friday I also did not, and by Saturday I just decided to skip the week altogether, not ideal, but anyway, it happens, it is what it is. I mean, I always try to keep the blog updated, and I do like to write on it, BUT it is hard, sometimes you are just not on the mood, even if the ideal is to push through and write it anyway, the strengh to go to the computer and start writing is lacking, unfortunately... And even writing on the phone can be complicated, too. Plus, writing on the phone is not something I'm used to anyway, at least for the time being.

I was navigating through the Steam store today and I found some threee games I got my eye on. Lethis: Path of Progress, The Political Process and Democracy 4. That being said, each game has its own downs that were very hard to overcome: Lethis only has 67% or so of rating on Steam, which is not good at all. I would only get a game on such low rating if I already knew it previously, already had an experience with it. Both TPP and Democracy were on early access, and were expensive for unfinished products, with Democracy reaching about 50 reais! Like what! I know I have this itch to get those games, but 50 reais is a bit on the pricy side, specially for a game that's still being developed! I don't know, if I had more money I'd spend it, but I don't have as much, so I gotta be careful where I spend it! If they were cheaper I'd have gotten them, too, anyway... Dang, those games sound cool, even Lethis, but Lethis, for a 67% rating game, still is expensive, reaching about 37 reais(?)... All of this teaches me the advantages of having patience: Patience so you can get them on a better finantial moment, patience to wait them being fully released (hopefully SOMEDAY they will be, and I'm waiting with much interest), also, it is good to have friends who you can chat about this stuff and they can tell you their take, helping you decide it better (I'm very hard to take decisions of this sort!). We'll keep on waiting...

And guys, I hope in this week I can get more posts on the blog, I'm not sure right now what to talk on it yet, BUT with time, themes may surge. I'm really hungry, so perhaps a snack is in order... Also, today is stream day, so I should do a stream, I'll probably do it in the afternoon... Not my favorite moment to do a stream, BUT the morning is passing by fast. Thank you ever so much for being here, and I see you real soon, hopefully sooner than in 7 days.
