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 we have my 4th Birthday Week on the Divagation Store!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday, and I wish you the best! How are you? How are things going? I do wish you the best, and hope things may be fine. How is the weather? As for me, I'm okay! I had an underwhelming day yesterday, just mentally I just existed, stayed in bed and did not much of noticeable. I did made some Anno 1800 progress and I also worked on this drawing I'm working on, but apart from that, most of the day was not that fruitful, I suppose some moments have to be like that, such is life. And I didn't write on the blog for almost a week because I had a bit of a crisis of meaning. My last post, according to the statistics (I wish I could hide those) was only seen 3 times, and those 3 times were by me, two of those by accident. I really don't write on the blog for viewership, when I want a post to be seen, it's usually for some specific friend (and I send him or her the link to it). If I wanted to have viewership? I might as well give up now, because seriously, I'm nothing special, or at least don't have much to offer except my take on stuff and my life rambles, as much as I love to express them, I have to recognize those won't change the life of most, neither would I claim otherwise, at all. It's like when I stream. If I wanted to do so for the views, for the money? I might as well not even try, not only it is demeaning to the people seeing me, but also to myself, up to much frustration, for most things, I think you'd be expected to go out of your comfort zone a bit, but for those specific goals I mentioned? Those would require a huge life dedication that would drain me of everything I have, and it would be for very little, if anything. So no, it's not for attention. I just like to do things I think are fun and creative, and I like to share stuff with those who care to see it, because yea, I also have a personal journal, it's not the same thing. And speaking of streaming, I always am at that limbo of taking it out of my life entirely or wanting to do it more often, but overall I'd do it because someone could stop by and I'd have a nice convo! Maybe even a new friend? I don't know, I see many saying Twitch is not a place for friendship. I don't think that's so, not entirely at least. And if meaningful connections weren't a thing, out of the question, I think Twitch would be a way more dead place than already is. I don't know, I suppose I see all kinds of lost souls there, people who have given up and are solely looking for some puppet to make their shadow of existence less miserable. I am certainly not one of those people, and I am not the only one who has Joye de Vivre, certainly I have not given up, and I don't think I'm even close to considering such awful endship. Well, dang, it's my birthday week, and here I am being all gloomy. But I swear to you guys, I'm happy, It's a happy week, of a month that is being productive so far! Even with financial hardships, even with uncertainty, even with college. I suppose that's what you would describe as someone with a healthy mindset: someone that is walking even with those reasons for stumble, walking and even smiling! Not because they are neglecting those, but because it will come out to place soon enough, you are sure of it, and have reasons to believe so. I shouldn't be so hard on myself! I'm not being gloomy, I'm just offering yet another one of my takes on something. It's one of the nice things about improv writing, you just sit here and let the words come out of your hands.


I suppose I should close this up with a best of instagram post. At least a picture to be the strawberry on the cake (most say cherry but I don't like cherries). This one was taken February, or end of January, of 2015. I was just on my way to high school when I saw this monitor of my grandma (this one is the mom's mom, not the dad's mom, I usually see the dad's mom more often) that was part of my childhood being discarded, a sign of the changing times of the 2010's, where tube monitors were being rapidly being replaced by the LCD ones we have now everywhere, a process that I could see very well since... 2007 I'd say, though back in 2007 those were the huge novelty, not the norm. An enchanting old ruin, this screen was, one that I'd never see it again. 
And with that, I think we are good to go! I hope to be back for my birthday post, maybe. I am never sure if I spend my day in bed in my birthday just cause I can, or if I be productive on the day... I just want to have some joyful time, there are different ways of having those. Anyway, it's a big post, thank you so much for reading it, makes me smile and look up for the future! And I should see you all again REAL REAL REAL SOON! Like I said, real soon, maybe this week even, maybe first thing next week, maybe by the weekend, but REAL SOON nonetheless! See ya real soon!
