In Which November 2026 is welcomed with Christmas and more Artificial Intelligence Thoughts!

Good morning, my friend, cordial reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, and happy November!! The month building up to the best of the year! We are closer to the end of a deeply chaotic one, speaking of which, closer than not. 2025 was quite eventful, but 2026 makes 2025 looks as tepid as 2015 in comparison. As the Christmas part of the year unfolds, more and more breathe relieved, though the perspectives for 2027 are nebulous at best. October was a huge pile of anxiety. The glee of the first half of the month, where I live, turned to immense dread and resentment after the election results in Brazil. The events of such horrendous circumstance are still unfolding. I wrote it was as if the end of the Soviet Union... my more pessimistic side thinks it is more akeen to the Hungarian Spring, though. Perhaps, as Poland, we will have a anticommunist upheaval now, and reap the good rewards later. Perhaps we will have a moment of chaos before it implodes, like with the Soviet Union... the ca...

In Which I am struck with a writer's block, but I recovered

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! How are you today? How are things going? How is the weather? As for me, I'm okay, the weather is fine, somehow, at least in my house. When it rains, and it rained a lot yesterday, afterwards the tendency is a lot of heat, which sucks a lot, I think I mentioned that before, that airless weather, it is the worst thing!

Picture taken around 2015, I believe...

Well, I played a game today, one outside of my list of most played games, which is Egypt: Old Kingdom...  It is not that game which really captivates me, in spite of the fact of being a strategy game about Ancient Egypt, the old Kingdom, even. It is not a pharaoh, though, I got a bit fatigued and uninstalled it. I think my mind is a bit fatigued today, not ideal. I don't even know if I'll go to college anymore today, don't think it will be productive... It is a snowball, missing classes, one day without class invites the other, and so on. One step at a time, at the end of the day... I don't even feel like writing much today, unfortunately. just that odd bad feeling is all, don't know if it's the disappointment with the Egypt game, if it's something else, just feeling not there is all... Don't know if I'll play some more games, and it is a weird time of the day, I think. I don't like to do things that way.

I thought the drive to write was never going to return, as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were days in which I had none. but well, this Friday I recovered it! Back on Track: I am trying a new game recently, it is called Nebuchadnezzar, and it's a city building game set in Ancient Mesopotamia, often a forgotten land, and it should not, as it is the beacon of urban civilization, with this crowded streets, beautiful houses of clay and mudbrick, huge temples! I'm still getting a grasp of it, even if I have the game for a year now. I was expecting it since 2020, and I was one of the first people to purchase it in February 2021! It feels good to support this genre of game that I love, which is city building strategy games. The royalty of those for me are Anno 1404/1800 and Pharaoh, so far I'm yet to find games that can compete with those two. I could chat some more about the games I like, as I also play others on the Strategy spectrum, as you know, probably, such as 4X strategy ones such as Europa Universalis and Civilization, resource management ones... I just love those games.

I'm so happy to have finished another blog post, I don't like to keep the blog empty for too long, because doesn't feel right, doe it? Well, let's wrap things up saying that I hope to be back really soon with more improv words on my life and so on! Wish you all the best, and I see you all real soon!
