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 think of reasons to look up for the future!

Good morning, reader of this post, my friend! How are you this Sunday? I do wish you the best, and hope you are doing okay. As for me, since last post, I've been more disposed somehow, I guess just writing can heal a bit. Just to see the words around you, I suppose. I don't like to wait is all, I don't like to feel time is standing still, I like passing my time in fun nice ways! The good news is, the wait for the new Europa DLC and patch, this one will be of number 1.34, seems to be almost over! They gave us some strong hints that the release should be this 25th of August! LudiEtHistoria mentioned something of the sort on one of his videos, also! Now that's a reason to be joyful! But truth is my mood was more motivated before I knew that for sure, I guess I just like doing things too much for spending too much of a long time without doing them, motivation comes naturally, from time to time. Also, being in bed all the time can get old as well, can even hurt your back, something we were supposing to rest, when in bed. Even with the expectations of getting the iPad the upcoming weeks, which was preventing me from drawing the traditional way, I returned to scribbling and doodling! I already started the draft for some things, so that is good! I should make a small list of things to look forward to! One of those is the new Europa Universalis DLC, but what else?

- For one, the new Anno 1800 DLC, that is scheduled for September the 20th! It could be delayed again, but anyway, I am looking forward to it, somehow, warts and all.

- Possibility of getting an iPad and get into digital art, that's a strong reason to be excited, even if it's not a certainty.

- The new Airborne Kingdom DLC, that seems like it will come out free (as far as I know), seems pretty neat! Seems like the skies will be a trend for September and October! Let's wait and see if those releases are a success.

For now, those are the main hobby related reasons to be excited, but I am sure more can be quoted, even if I can't recall them at this precise moment. I think, sometimes, even following your own routine can be a reason to look up for each new day! I look up, for sure, to every new moment that I wake up and take coffee and jump into the computer with that renewed energy, even if the less-than-ideal chair can drain things a bit. Here, another reason to look up for the future: I may get a more comfortable chair at some point! I don't know when, but that is a lovely possibility!

Closing today's post, we have Mr. Vintage Fan! Super cool gear I saw once when I came to visit the house of a friend of my uncle, close to the beach! He had a lovely swimming pool there, that I also took pictures of, and that I will look for posting it here right now...


There! I usually don't post two pictures on the same post, but those lovely waters are very inviting, those clean tiles and clean grout as well! A thing I abhor is dirty grout, it's disgusting!!!! I hate it and can even think of it without feeling uncomfortable. An enviroment must be clean, clean, clean like a hospital. I wish I could keep my bedroom imaculate all the time, but alas, the dust comes into it in a rate that is too quick for me to keep up with. I have to clean my fan yet again, I suppose, alas... Could be fun, maybe, and this gives me another reason to look up for the future, perhaps? A clean fan! Clean, clean, clean like a hospital, the way I love it. Now, that is something I can get behind at, a house should have clear colors, have a healthy balance between some clutter but also space to breathe, I don't like modern stuff much, but there is something to be said of clean, clear tables, a lot of breathable air, too. This is certainly not an achievement of modernism, I must tell, it should be something we humans should strive for, cleaniness, and be clean, smell good, be so happy! Anyway, this post is getting a bit too big, but I just can't help it! I love talking of clean enviroments, not necessarily all white, I like some color, as long as it is pastel, clear, bright! I am thinking if I should play some Anno next, after I am finished with the blog... maybe some The Sims, that guilty pleasure game? I mean, I'm building a new house... we'll see... And I hope to be around for a new post real real soon, I don't like to have the blog without an update for too long. And it's a pleasure to be here! Happy Sunday! And I wish you the best! Hopefully two or more posts before the end of August! That's the loose plan! Cheers!
