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 a small Throwback Thursday with Screen Savers and CDs!

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend, and happy Thursday! How are you today? How are things going? I wish you not only the best, but also a wonderful Christmas week! May it be peaceful and wonderful as well! How is the weather? Here, it is as hot and miserable as it can possibly get, I might have to take yet another shower because the heat is really bothering me... It is a downside of Christmas season on the tropics, I suppose. I arrived here at my grandma's for the next few days, and I really hope they may be peaceful and pleasant. I should pray for it. Maybe this heat may be a nice opportunity to go to the pool? Who knows? I am here thinking on how to make my day better, could play some Anno 1800... still have a lot of cool things to do at Crown Falls, Manola, and the other islands. I could work in some drawings, once the heat subsides, I got new pens, so that is fun. Last time I wrote here at the divagation store, they were still to arrive. Well, they're here now, so that is really cool! I have two doodles to wrap up, and then I will move to another drawing, I hope! Another Christmas one, that is for sure! And speaking of Christmas and special ocasions, this post I am writing at the room where I started the blog! How awesome is that? It is my former Grandpa's Office, where at July the 8th of 2018, I laid the first foundations for this project that still continues to this day, with fortunately no signs of stopping! I know, it has been a while since the schedule for the blog has been gone, but it is what it is, as long as I have random thoughts that I want to share with yalls, the blog stays!


Speaking of random thoughts and ideas and so on, why not a throwback today? Do you guys remember screen savers? They were a thing till around Windows 7, I guess, It was a part of my computer set up to also set a good one for when you left the computer without use, those days having accounts and passwords was not as common as it is today. When Windows XP and its immediate predecessors were around, screen savers were indeed a huge thing, so this Yellowstone Screen Saver CD comes to play! It still is around somewhere at my grandparents house! Dang... Imagine that, today most Laptops at least don't even have a DVD Driver to speak of, let alone a humble CD one... Does it bring nostalgia? Up to a certain point, because CDs were sort of a pain, specially when I was a clumsy child, I'd not treat my CDs for games the best way I could, and I'd try my best, even!
I think this post is another personal achievement, because I didn't have much planned today for a blog post, and yet here we are, talking about stuffs that were a thing some decades ago, having a cozy Christmas time, I hope! I should wrap things now, though, the post is sorta getting big, you know how I feel about big posts, not a huge fan of those... I am also getting used to a new keyboard. I decided I don't want to use my laptop's keyboard anymore, so I got a separate one at the market, and I really like it, but still getting used to it. Anyway, I should be back at the 24th or 25th (maybe the both) to wish you all a Merry Christmas day! We'll see... till then, farewell, my friend!
