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. No. Jus...

In Which we talk about my Anno Week!

So, unfortunately I couldn't upload anything on the blog for the past 12 days or so, it is not an ideal scenario, I know, this happened for a couple of reasons, at certain days, I just couldn't figure out a thing to stream, at certain days, I wanted to play videogames in the morning instead of writing on the blog, at certain days, I wanted to draw something instead of writing on the blog, and some other days it was all of this at once! The main reason are the videogames though, and by videogames I mean Anno! That game just won't go away! You guys know it! I write about this awesome game every now and then, usually when I'm on my huge "Anno moods". I'm not like the Saxy Gamer, that plays Anno from 6 to 6 months, but I do have my seasons. What I agree with the Saxy is that when I have the Anno season, I feel like "this is the best game ever made". One of those that make you wanna change your gear just so you can play it better, one of those where you feel like postponing your blog posts just to play it! And every season, it comes with new things: this season I properly learnt how to build my own arctic base and get gas (and the pros and cons of gas), some layouts for houses, how to properly use specialists and Items, which makes Eli of the prison my new best friend on the early game, not only for the specialists he sells, but also for all the soap I sold to him for massive amounts of money! I was already getting a grasp on specialists and items my last Anno save, but on this more recent one, I took it to the next level for sure! And speaking of specialists, I also learnt how to use influence points, how scarce they can be, and why the Investors and the Palace are your best friends late-game, you wrap all your new knowledge to build a massive city in Cape Trelawney! Also, I finally learnt how broken the scholars are on late game, they can craft anything you need, as long as you have enough engineers and research points, they are so broken that makes the late game boring, even! I can't wait for the next DLC of the season, where they are bringing tourists to a whole new level, so the late game can get more flavour even! Tons of things added to my Anno knowledge, showing how crazy big this game can be! Anno was the biggest thing on this month of March! This, my new apartment that I'll be eventually moving in, spending sometime with Grandma... on the not so good note, my motherly grandparents were at the hospital due to Corona, but they recovered, thank Goodness, and I hope to see them again soon! Anyway, this post was just to tell you guys I'm alive and overall okay, the blog is also not going nowhere, and I hope to post more regularly this week that's starting! For today though, I think that's enough! Let's wrap things up, love you all, see you again real soon! Not gonna post any picture today with the post, let us wait for the next one, where I'm fully at my feet again with writing and stuff.
