In Which I talk about city streets and how details matter

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post!! How are you? How have you been, in this mid-week? Hope you are well, I do wish you the best! I was desiring to write something on the blog sooner, but I either lacked the motivation, or lacked idea on what exactly to write, or both, and unfortunately, usually both. My mind has been on a burning out alert for some weeks now, and every move I make I dread causing me to snap, I would fall on the floor and weep until I could no more. The summer heat does not help, even if this summer in the grand scheme of things is not really that abrasive. Statistics are useful, but daily life can amplify one's situation. It is summer, and it sucks, no matter if the weather is slightly less hot than some years ago... I will talk more about heat as follows, because thanks to a book I am reading, I have even more reasons to do so! Let us jump to it shall we? Now, of course I may change my mind, because that is how a chaotic mind with OCD goes, wh...

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!
