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 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.
