In Which the fields turn to Magenta

Good evening, my dear friend, jolly reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday! How are you? Hope you have been okay so far? I am okay... it has been quite an exhausting couple of days, as I have been following the situation in Iran more closely than I'd like, as it turns out. I am not sure how to proceed, even, the news are quite depressing. They talk of dozen thousands slaughtered, and the count grows by the minute. I thought the islamic regime would not take too long to fall, and though in retrospect that may be it, given there has been, in reality, less than a month since the height of the protests began, still, in two days or so, the devil Khomenei has been responsible for 12 thousand dead or so. One can expect that regimes with messianic complex, and gnostic at that too, would be capable of evil deeds, given they would always have the sanction to do so in their twisted minds. But... twelve thousand, or more, and the numbers will grow and grow fast. And it is not a move that...

In Which I go to the beach with grandma and my aunt!

Hey everyone! Good morning and I wish you the best! How are you, and how was your weekend? This weekend for me was quite nice, I went to the beach with family, but really I just went there to be a part of the decoration as the say goes because I wasn't feeling like beach much, I was much more feeling like saving Byzantium on Europa Universalis, task that of course I failed, many many times. Eventually for the sake of my health, I decided to put this desire on hold. I still wanted to play Europa, so I decided to switch to France, because France has Versailles, it has Louis le Grande, and so on. Let me say that France kick butt in this game! Apart from a lot of loans, and a huge war against Austria and England because I annexed Brittany (they deserved every bad thing that happened to them! I can't remember what bad thing Brittany did against me, but they totally have it coming), my game with France is going swimmingly! And I didn't even had to reroll many times to achieve an optimum start, all my previous runs as France went swimmingly, in one way or another. Unlike Byzantium, who starts on their way out, France starts on their way in, so much good going for them! What I'm saying is, if you love your happiness and your life, don't go for Byzantium because frustration will be inevitable trying to save them from the evil and overpowered Ottomans, choose France instead and nurture a fancy court and many territories! Or you could also choose Portugal and spread wide and free across all territories in the globe! Really, unfortunately, as much appeal that saving the Roman Empire has, it's really hard to achieve it. Still some stuff I need to work on my French Run. I want to eventually Colonise the Americas also, I want to develop my navy, pay off my loans without having to mothball my forts and reducing my spending on my very essential big army, finish annexing my stuff in Ireland... on Ireland, though, I need to be careful because annexing subjects have a penalty in your diplomatic reputation, so many its and bits on this game, it makes it remarkable! Again, it is not a civ killer, or any game killer, but all I can say is welcome into my list of games that I tend to play! In the ranks of my beloved Anno 1800, Age of Empires 3, Civilization 5... Humankind is not on that list YET, but doesn't mean I don't love it. Well, this was supposed to be a post talking about Beach and family, and I ended up talking about Europa Universalis instead, oh the addiction! As you guys know, when I'm into a game, I tend to speak a lot about it! 

Returning to the beach, lots of dogs because my aunt who loves dogs was there as well! This is a picture I took when some of them were eating at the same time, so cute! It's their dinner time. That first black dog, her name is Chanel, got so mad when I got close to take the picture because she thought I was going for her food, started barking and grunting at me. No worries, though, she is usually a very nice dog, just don't mess with her food! I did forgot to take my meds when I was away unfortunately, but nothing too concerning, I'm back home and resumed my routine of medication, got myself a haircut yesterday, now I just need to shave! One step at a time! Speaking of things I should do, there is this project for College I should be doing also... but like I said, one step at a time! It will be fine! 

This post is getting big, isn't it? Well, so I should finish it here, and I would also like to thank you for being around! Thank you for reading! Much love! See you all again real real soon!
