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 have no desire to do anything

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post, and happy Wednesday! How are you, how are things going? As for me, it's been an unproductive couple of weeks I'd say, at least I have little desire to do things. At least, not many games bring me much enthusiasm at the moment, can only force myself at times, and even in the morning I feel like that. And about drawings, I'm stuck at this big one, and I'm almost done with it, but the little there is to do in it feels like so much herculean effort I just can't bring myself to finish it, so I haven't been drawing much, because I don't want to start a new one and left this one unfinished. Maybe this is some sort of melancholic mood? I don't know, I feel stable, just lacking the desire to do things most of the time. I have a drawing to finish, when I finish this one I'll do new ones hopefully. I have games to play, but what's the point on playing them if I don't have the desire to carry it through? I have this nice book to finish, but sometimes I just don't feel like reading... I'm kinda stuck, slowly moving... Besides the world of my pleasant activities, college is sort of there, stuck, as well. There is no magic formula for things, of that I am sure. I am brought to this now because I think many things are due to the fact I'm waiting for September at this point. On the gaming side: waiting for the content of the games I play, not only Anno, but also Europa and even the lovely but underplayed Airborne Kingdom. On drawing, I am expecting to get a drawing tablet next month, so I hope to achieve it... it could boost my production, not only propelling this unfinished drawing to its completion, but also bringing many new very good nice ones! And on college, well, my coordinator is evaluating what disciplines I'll be able to be dispensed of, so this semester doesn't hurt my pockets too much, and speaking of which, situation concerning finances are not good, but I suppose it could be far worse. I got this, even if for that, I'll also need to wait. I applied for three jobs recently, this Tuesday, but I am not expecting to hear from any of those, I know how those online applications go, I dont think they're reliable, neither is my resume that much of an impressive thing. The first half of this post is complete! Now, I shall start paragraph 2 with a Best of Instagram pic!


Writing this post was a personal achievement, because of the mood I find myself into. It won't be the last post on this blog, I hope, but also, I have been slower on writing these days, like I've been slower in most things. I looked at the window now, and wow, Summer is indeed coming, because it's 5AM and the sun is rising! On the heyday of winter, it would only start getting brighter at 6AM or so... Summer, I hope it's a cold one. Like that quote, featured on Civilization 4, Agriculture tech, by Virgil: O farmers, pray that your summers be wet and your winters clear. My version is: O Dan, pray that your summers be cold and your winters rainy. I like this quote as a point to start wrapping up today's post! Thank you for being here, dear reader, my friend, I appreciate you! And I see you again real real real soon, hopefully next week at the latest. Please be well, and make sure to enjoy the weekend, do it safely, no alcohol, cause that is a bad substance that bring our lives so much disgrace.
