In Which I Love Chocolates and Easter Bunnies and Specially in the Easter Season

Good afternoon, my good friend, reader of this post! How are you? How have you been over the past few days? I hope you may have a nice weekend! As for me, I am okay. Tuesday I had the therapy session for the psichoneurological exam, I still need to sort the internship issue, and also need to draw blood for my doctor appointment. On another note, I have not drawn much since finishing that big project I trust I mention another time, but I did work on a piece that satisfied me! Hopefully will do more before the end of March, but we'll see. As for the weather, I am please to say that the past two days or so have been more on the fresh side, thanks to the rain. I wonder if it can be kept until June, when the temperature will decidedly shift towards lesser heat. I am of course not holding my breath, autumn is volatile. Such variation means flu season is ongoing.  Before many of us noticed, we reached the end of March! To be fair, this time of year does not, in my opinion, passes as fast ...

In Which we say a delayed Hello to April!

Hello everyone, it is great to see you! Good morning! Happy Wednesday! How are you today? How are things going? How is the weather? As the circle of life goes, I need a shave once again, I should take care of that soon, though I could use new razing blades so the shaving can be more smooth, but well, one step at a time. I was having an appointment with my therapist recently, after I told him my lamentations he passed me some tests to do, and we reached the suspicion I may suffer from Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), me and half the guys I know... Dang, it is a modern day plague, reaching far and wide. Well, I went to the psychiatrist soon after, and after more talking (where the magic happens) we reached an understanding I may indeed struggle with it. And the worst part is that it makes perfect sense. I'm messed up, I have already Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and now one more to the books... The only thing I seen to suck at getting is the good things, the bad things though? Those pile up higher by the minute! Is this what to expect for April? Mental disorders and lack of hope for the future? It does seem like the ceiling fell over me, and my legs, arms and neck are broken and a toxic waste fire started and we are seconds away from a nuclear explosion, my life seems like that sometimes. Luckily, there are videogames! And those are coming with a lot of good things real soon: Anno 1800 season 4, the first DLC of it, Seeds of Change, bringing the Haciendas to the game, they are coming out this Tuesday April 12! Next week! How crazy awesome is that? More news arrive on Victoria 3, also, and I'm more excited by the minute to try it out. I mean, Victoria 2 is one of my favorite videogames ever, so Vic3 has potential!


This picture was taken from this DevBlog from the Anno union, I will talk about a bit on it bellow, but you should check the source material also cause it's really pleasant to read!

I should probably chat some more about the Haciendas! To be fair, this first DLC is quite straightforward in which it says is gonna deliver: your own farm estate in the new world! A place that should be the heart of your agricultural-based, commodity driven New World economy! I am excited, specially for the new quarters for the Obreras, you can never get enough of them! They are also bringing fertilizers to the game, to further boost your plantations and farms! The Haciendas do remind me of the palace of the Old World, but with its own twist... Either way, there is a problem of space, because, as you know, the islands on the New World are extremely challenging logistic and spáce wise, they have tortuous rivers and mountains in the most unconvenient locations. But well, I heard new island models are coming into the game, that should help! Anyway, this post is getting big, so I should wrap up things for now and save it for a new post, in the future future future - as would say my friend MattOverYonder (now he changed his username to MattWanders), he is awesomenerino! And this future is real real soon, so no worries! Wish you the best once again, and see you REAL SOON! Cheers!
