In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which I go to the cinema for the first time after three years

Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things going? I haven't been around much, have I? Sometimes we have more productive months, sometimes more laid back ones. How is the weather where you are? Here it is fresh and reasonable, with lots of rain, the way I like it. Yesterday I went to the cinema for the first time in three years, with my aunt, my cousins, and grandma... it wasn't that good of a movie, I think, kinda dragged a bit (a lot, actually) and I felt sore for sitting for so long in a chair that isn't that comfortable at the end of the day. It was good to go out I guess, otherwise I'd just have stayed home, and I usually don't do much in the evening, because I have that mental block that time of day... 

And I think I've been reasonably okay, I'd say... just kinda getting unmotivated too fast, too easily, which is concerning, to some extent... I hope to play something other than Europa, such as Anno 1800, because I have this Anno game sitting for a while, maybe it's time to return to it? I've been trying Humankind the game yet again, but it's a game that... I just don't feel connected to. Plus they are about to update the game, hopefully soon, so I can test it out. I could play Age of Empires, could be a good call!

One of the things I don't like doing when it comes to my blog is posting the link to it on Twitter, I don't know why, it sucks... I don't even think I like to post it on my discord either... because I don't wanna bother people there. I haven't been streaming much, either... I mean, I think streamers mostly do more harm than good to other people, they act all friendly when they are not sincere about their friendship feelings, I want friends, not circus clowns to take advantage of my fragility and my need for love and friendship and connection. I do have some streamers I like, that I consider friends, such as Matt, Hyper, Luth, those are my favorites, I mean, they are super fun and nice and the kind of people I'd like to have around. I like Flo as well, he is nice, fits all the other categories I pointed out... I met some good folk, but the bad ones I met, and I get frustrated with the good ones as well sometimes, those factors make me discouraged to stream. There are so many weirdos out there, too... maybe I'm one of them? I don't know, I don't think I am, I know I like friends, I am fragile and needy, but I have content, I am interesting, and I'm genuine, so much so it can hurt me at times, so I'm not one of the weirdos. I do have some social skills is all I'm saying.


Here's one of the paintings I did, back in 2015, on the art course, it is Patinhos no Lago by the brazilian painter Eliseu Visconti, I have it hanging on my wall here, I mean, this reproduction, not the actual painting. I like this soft impressionism style, it suits me well, though some artist critics of the past were mean to it... Roger Scruton talks about it on his book about Beauty and Modern Culture, he actually have a good thesis on modernism, makes me look at it in a different way, though it doesn't redeem the movement too much... Anyway, this post is quite a success! I'm very satisfied with it, so I'll end things here, and hope to return for another one real soon! Wish you the best, dear reader of this post, and if you are Matt, Hyper or Luth or one of the good streamers, thank you so much. I appreciate you. I truly do.
