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 Wrap up February, the longest short month

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend! Happy almost Friday!! How are you, today? How are things? As for me, I am okay, and the day is going... so far, not too bad. I played a game called Old World, I believe I mentioned this one here, a long time ago, at this point. It has a new DLC, that I hope to try it out. I also did some Civ 6, because why not... for continuation, I hope I can play Anno 1404, maybe. Definitely something other than the treacherous Europa Universalis 4. I think the dollhouse will come with a new DLC today, but I decided to uninstall the game, as the new "feature" of the game I considered egregious. That feature may appear small - it is just a shopping car placed on the UI menu - but it speaks volumes over where the company is... I think adding ads, which is precisely what this is, to a game that you paid for, that is pretty shocking. I am aware Sims 4 is for free now, but for most of its cycle it was not. I hate the controversies and the manufactured drama around the dollhouse, so I simply deleted it from the machine, Sims 3 is far superior anyway, even if it also has some ad placement in the game. 

We are reaching the end of the short but long month of February! How was your set of 29 days? For me, it was better than January, thank God. As January was depressingly uninteresting, February had more going for it, such as the beginning of the course of History I am doing! Some new potential friendships, continuation to ones I made in January, such as dear Evan. Progress on reading as well, I finished the book on Maria Theresa. I also started a new book, that was suggested by a colleague on the history course group. I may write more on this one when I proceed on it. I worked on 11 drawings on those 28 days, may work on another one today, the 29th and last... Memory is not the most accurate way of telling how the month actually was, but since I am not particularly in a good mood right now, neither in a bad mood, more of a neutral sort, I can say with more fairness how it went.

To wrap it up today's post, what would be my plans for March? It will be the Easter month, and I don't have many plans for it. I just hope it is lesser hot and abrasive than the previous two miserable months we had, miserable on matter of weather and solar incidence. I hope to have motivation to draw, enthusiasm to game. I hope I can have good events, and more than enough money to pay bills... time and energy and desire to read, also. I want a haircut, as well. I will see if I can arrange this tomorrow, March the 1st. I also hope I can sleep well, and drink less coffee... and may I can chat with dear friends such as Johannes and Evan and Charles and Mr. Gottfried... I can only hope.

With that, a paragraph for the end of February, and one for March desires and hopes, I trust it is time to end today's publication. When should I be back here? I truly hope around Sunday, less likely Saturday... until then, I see you real soon, and wish you the best!
