In Which we talk about Verosimilitude in Video Games

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post, at the divagation store! How are you? I pray you are well? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, there has been some insane times, the past 3-4 days have been the longest months of all years I lived. I tried writing before, but at the end of the day, it would not be possible to think clearly. Today, I am on a more stable plan. I am really not sure how to write what happened without turning the whole post both too long, I may mention it, but for now, I wanted to just talk of more trivial things. I did play some Victoria 3 today! They will be releasing a new dlc in November 5th, adding a series of events and special content catered towards the Russian Empire. I wonder  if it will make the game joyless for the otherwise lovely time I have developing Russia. My default match in Victoria 3 is selecting Russia, passing lasseiz-faire laws, both freedom of trade and economic descentralization, alongside all it comes wirh it, such a...

In Which we chat about new games and a new story idea!

Hello dear reader of this post and good morning! How is the weather where you are and how are you? As for me, I'm alright overall, I do have to exercise today, which is a bother, BUT well... the weather is okay, a lot of sun, that is for sure. Today's post is just some different thoughts tied up together, let's jump to it, shall we?
I have this idea for a story I should develop here on the blog soon, it will be some tales on my imaginary civilization: Danieria. It should start with the region of the dry rivers of Shaat's. Should be a place for cultural cities with abundant food and fortune. Just to think of it I have some ideas that contradict each other, so that's the challenge of writing and creating your world! Speaking of World...
There is this game I was playing recently called Old World, is one of the Civ-Like games that came out on the spawn of this year, though was on early access through 2020. It has a lot of Crusader Kings also, which is pretty nice, I like Crusader Kings and other Paradox games, my favorite being Victoria II. I feel like the fact this one is not available on Steam to be something not playing on its favor, however. I hope it may be released on it soon. It doesn't help that the much expected Humankind was released roughly one month later. This new take on the Civ genre is receiving mixed reviews so far. I can't say much, I only played it since yesterday, but so far I like it, I may change my mind, start to dislike it, but so far it is something that catches my attention! It's quite fun to start a game as the Egyptians, become the Greeks on the Classical Era, become the Franks on the Medieval Era, and so on! I like it, sounds fresh. I do have to say the game has some weird graphic glitches, I wonder how my old computer would handle such a game, probably wouldn't go too well, my new one was definitely an upgrade, that happened due to a necessity of getting a new machine, because that old computer broke down, unfortunately... Sometimes bad things turn into good ones. Not without its trade offs, but still. This post is basically just me gathering some ideas and putting it together because I don't feel much inspired to write today. I should've written it when I woke up, but well, I do want to do stuff no matter the time, though real life is not always like that! Timing is a thing, very much so! And to wrap things up, I would like to share a tree that I see on my bedroom window.

It is indeed lovely to have such a pleasant view! The birds like to sing around it, the air is fresh and pleasant, quite lovely! Anyway, with that, I'm wrapping up today's post! Thank you ever so much for reading, my friend, I see you again real soon!
