In Which we talk about Verosimilitude in Video Games

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post, at the divagation store! How are you? I pray you are well? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, there has been some insane times, the past 3-4 days have been the longest months of all years I lived. I tried writing before, but at the end of the day, it would not be possible to think clearly. Today, I am on a more stable plan. I am really not sure how to write what happened without turning the whole post both too long, I may mention it, but for now, I wanted to just talk of more trivial things. I did play some Victoria 3 today! They will be releasing a new dlc in November 5th, adding a series of events and special content catered towards the Russian Empire. I wonder  if it will make the game joyless for the otherwise lovely time I have developing Russia. My default match in Victoria 3 is selecting Russia, passing lasseiz-faire laws, both freedom of trade and economic descentralization, alongside all it comes wirh it, such a...

In Which I finish the AEIOU mission tree part for Austria!

Hey there, friend! Good morning, how are you? I'm... okay, I'd say, it were a very exhausting couple of days, mentally, reason why I didn't update the blog. Today I don't think I have much to say, I mean, I could talk about college and how frustrating it all has been, could mention I haven't been drawing much, either, but anyway, like a new friend says "don't force yourself too much" and I don't plan on doing it. Nah, none of those things make me wanna write it here, or anywhere, for that matter. Again, I've been playing a lot of Europa Universalis, this time as Austria, where I managed to do the AEIOU on the mission tree for them, which was my goal! I mean, my goal was to get the achievement of the same name on Steam, BUT that I don't think I'll manage to do so, at this point, as Austria really is not the best colonial nation, and the mission has a part in which you have to adventure yourself in India, China and Australia! To be fair, I managed to complete I'd say 65% of the tree, so I'm pretty proud of myself already! Maybe I could play something else, next? I don't know, I was playing some AOE3 some days ago, could always revisit it. Maybe some Anno as well? I could just look on my steam library for something... There is an expansion coming for The Sims soon, yea, ANOTHER ONE, one of the two thousands out there. This one is focused on the teenage years. I guesss could be fun, specially for those looking to live the High School life. I don't know if I'll get it straight away, I've been spending very loosely the past months, I want a bit more austerity in expenditure and balance the budget better, I'm worried that my main credit card increased my limit, and that can invite me to make myself more financially fragile. Well, speaking of finances, here's my best of Instagram for today!


This one is an old one, back in July-August 2015, I believe, when I was doing a painting course, it was really nice, I believe I mentioned this course a couple times here on the blog, too! It's a reproduction of Amaryllis (that I'm probably writing wrong) by Piet Mondrian, a painter more famous for his geometric paintings. I mean, Mr. Mondrian has some pleasant works, but I really dislike his movement, I say I can see some value in it, without endorsing it, which I don't, at all.
I believe this post is getting too big, so I should finish it soon. I'm pretty happy with it, considering I wasn't expecting to write as much as I did! And again, thank you for being here, dear reader, you are the bestenerino! See you again real real REAL real soon!
