Good morning to you, my friend, reader of this post, and welcome to another set of words by yours truly! I don't think I'm doing enough to celebrate the 4th year of my blog, I'm sad, but also, I don't want to force myself into anything, really, want it to be something natural in the end. Such as drawing, also, I, for one hand, wants to draw, but on another, I don't want to force myself and come out with mediocre work. I should do a brainstorm for more ideas for stories and so on... Anyway, as the title says it, I decided to go ahead and do the biggest spending of my financial life. Or... I don't know, I'd call it investment, because spenditure has that conotation of just throwing money out the window, money that I don't have, and that is not the case, I am not throwing money out the window, I am getting something in return, and that is a second screen. Why am I doing it? Because I am done with playing Europa Universalis, or any other game that requires a fullscreen, and getting sidetracked, missing messages, just get drowned into the game, I don't want that anymore, if I am to have more freedom of playing games, more freedom to do my things on the computer, I am getting a second one. One thing that opens up with it, for example, I have Anno 1800 minimized, I could have it maximized and playing it, while I also write on the blog, on the second screen, that's just an example. Now, it was a considerable investment, and I'll pay for it as the months go by, bit by bit, because I cannot afford the full price at the moment, but I also really wanted to have a second screen, to check discord, have something else on it, while I do the main work on the laptop. I felt bad doing that, because I believed it would put me in considerable jeopardy financially, but I am more at peace with my decision now, because things will work out. Nothing will really change on my routine, at the moment. It comes to mind: am I coping with it, by writing this? Am I having an episode of cognitive dissonance? Where my idea of right and wrong becomes divorced from my actions and words? I can't say for sure, I tend to be harsh on myself and say "yes, and you should be punished severely for your lack of delayed gratification", but I also understand my needs, and those include a second screen, because I use the computer a lot and sometimes getting sidetracked, getting too immersed in a game, it is bad. But I also want to play the game, so having this option of a second screen is a Godsend. Anyway, I was vaguely planning on getting an iPad for my birthday, which is, asking my mother if she could afford one for me, so I could start meddling on digital art. But with that second screen, this may be delayed or so. It's okay, though... the iPad was just a vague promise, the second screen is a concrete necessity, for me, as a gamer and a chatter and a casual streamer, as me. I like to putting my thoughts out there! This is one of the reasons to have a blog, after all! In any case, I wish you all the best, I believe I'm wrapping up things here because I wrote a lot! I want to also go and play some Anno, or maybe something else. Ideally I'd try some Europa, but I have two things coming that makes me wanna delay me playing Europa: the second screen, and the new flavor pack and update 1.34! We shall see how it goes. I believe I should save those for another post! Anyway, love you, my friend, see you again REAL REAL SOON!
