In Which the fog of the terrain is present and the birds scream confusely

Good morning, dear friend, reader of the present post! How are you today, sir and madame? How is the weather? Here, glorious winter, the one of 2026, makes itself known more and more and more, and I urge it to come faster and to FREEZE the land. Oh eternal bliss of the cold winds and the heavy rains, how I love it, so much! And I am okay... I think. Just a bit 6 out of 10 these days, as a rough estimate. At times, 5 out of 10, at times almost a 7. But under the weather nonetheless. I always feel frustrated when I cannot write, or draw, and yet because this is a hobby, it would not be fair to treat it as my main trade. I went on this direction before and it is not a profitable approach. God knows what I will do for a living, but likely it won't be hard drawing or hard writing, not as a main avenue. After some days of writer's block, I did have some thoughts that I wanted to share AND that I know how. Finally a positive alignment on that field! It promises to be a long post, so i...

In Which we talk about the Launches of October!

Hello everyone and good morning! Happy Thursday! The best day of the week if you ask me! Definitely on the top 3! How are you? How are things going? How is the weather? As for me, I'm okay, yesterday was a nice day, so is being nice today, played some Civ V, which is a good game to play while listening to music, that one is an old pal! Humankind is amazing and all, and Civilization 6 may be more dynamic, but none of those managed to bury Civilization 5 for me! I may play some Age of Empires 3 soon, which brings me to the point that I wanted to chat with you all today!

For starters, on AOE4, it's artstyle is already causing some division in the fandom. I don't like when things are unanimous anyway, so we shall see how it will end...

Age of Empires 4 is just a couple weeks away from us! Being released in October 28th (as far as we know, because it's a trend that games are being postponed for more polishing), it is one that I wasn't paying much attention so far, but that it might be a good addiction to the series! I heard some AOE3 personality saying the game is good, potentially very good, so that's exciting. I also heard my friend Mac saying it wasn't good and he is not excited for it. There is this division on the Age of Empires scene, some people stick to AOE2, some are more open to AOE3, even preferring that one.. We have all kinds of humans, that's the final truth. There is some controversy over the pricing of Age of Empires 4 as well, as it is much more expensive than the rest of the series. Some people point out that this is the standard price for "triple A games" (whatever that means), they are probably right. My wallet tends to hurt when thinking about it. I have other games that cost a lot as well, such as The Sims 4, Humankind was expensive as well (though I didn't purchased it, it was a christmas gift by my dear friend Nik6las). Anno is an interesting one, because the base game is expensive, but the DLCs are affordable, in comparison to The Sims, for example, who just got more expensive this year. Whatever the price is, I can tell there is a pressure for AOE4 to be awesome, not only in comparison to the other AOEs, but also on its own feet. I don't know if it will be like Civ 5 who outdid his previous Civ 4, or if it will be another Civ 6 where the fanbase gets torn in many things, it is hard to tell. I can conclude this by saying: please be good!

And on that train of thought, we have a new Operational System coming soon, also in October! Windows 11 really came as a surprise, even if I've heard rumors about it in the end of 2019, or was it beginning of 2020? Can't recall, but you guys got what I mean, it's been a while that I first heard that name. I never really got into Windows 10, and Windows 7 I feel got old better than Windows 8, so I'd like to see how this new Windows will play out. It's also coming sooner than I expected, not by a lot, but kinda, at October 5th! 2-3 weeks to go! I hope my laptop can be upgraded as soon as it is released. I mean, it's a new computer, so odds are it can. How about you guys? Excited for the new UI? Or nah? Are you passionate about OS stuff? I am not as much, but I think it's cool, specially because I don't work with it, so stuff like this are usually nicer when you aren't the one developing it!

Anyway, this post is getting on the long side, you guys know what I think about long posts, so this will be the last paragraph. And speaking of paragraph, I didn't even updated the quote of the week, such a bother. Hopefully, even if my schedule, if any, is more on the "freestyle" side of things for now, I'll at least update the quote of the week! You guys also know that sometimes it's something I forget to do, or that I'm not inspired in the moment to pick a quote, am out of ideas, so on... well, this is the end of today's post, I hope to see you again real soon! Wish you, again, a very nice day!
