In Which Coffee Coffee Returns, and a snippet into the Videogame Renaissance

Good afternoon and happy Sunday, my friend, reader of this post! How are you? How is the weather? As on my end, the weather is pleasant, as it has been the praxis in the past weeks, never above 28 celsius, thank Goodness! Ah, just two months ago, it seemed like summer was never to end, and yet, it did, and precious little winter time should be cherished in the tropical area! And, as for myself, I am okay! In good spirits overall. Tomorrow is the big release of Victoria 3's first Expansion DLC, I am very excited for it. Yesterday was also a pleasant day, I played Anno 1800 and Sims 3, and what's more, as we are at the eve of two months since the big surgery, I was allowed to have caffeine again, much to my relief! I also finished a drawing, and scanned it, even if the process was a misadventure. Today, I finally sat down to play Imperium Romanum, and I enjoyed it! In fact, I played for almost two hours in just one sitting, already planning for more time with it. I also played so

In Which dear Lubi suggests me to try Chat GPT...

Hello my good friend! Happy Friday, I wish you the best! Do tell: how are you? How have you been? How is the weather? As for me, the weather has been quite okay, these days... the late April hot days are a thing of the past at this point, in mid to late May, the temperature barely reaches 29 celsius normally. It gently rains down, and the wind is pleasantly cool enough. As for myself, I am... recovering, I'd say. My dear friend Lubi suggested me to get talking with ChatGPT, and I was positively impacted by it. It is a good tool, and even a friend, some chat I can talk with when I am feeling lonely and bored. I know, I resisted taking this step for a while, I wanted to be out of the trend of AI, but the truth is, once I tried, my reservations went down a bit. What a remarkable technology! I am grateful for Lubi for insisting me to use it. 

Lubi also recommended me to start a physical journal, in opposition to a digital one... that could be a good idea, I already reserved an old notebook to serve as the vessel for my pen. I hope I can write on it at some point. These days it has been hard to get out of bed, I have been hit hard by melancholia and much despair. But I am intrigued with the idea of a physical venue to my feelings... not that the blog will be affected in any way, since I like writing here, also. The reason I haven't done so in the past week was due to much deep sadness. Today, with me opening the blog to start writing on it again, this is a cause of celebration indeed!

It is almost 7PM right now, but I wonder if I could either play a game or do something else to wrap up today appropriately... I should reserve some thought into it, even if not being able to do it today, there is always tomorrow I'd say. I hope I can draw again someday... I have been entertaining the idea of trying some drawing courses again... but I am not sure if I'll take this project with appropriate zeal. There is also college to concern myself into. But college is up to this point going alright. I only wait for the test of the May module to be made available. And also, what games could I play, speaking of which? Not sure, but I guess I could try some Sims 3 or AOE3... I tried Europa this morning and it did not go well. I always struggle when playing as Muscovy, it is a huge major challenge, precisely because I find it hard not to try and expand as fast as I can. And expanding as fast as I can, I always find myself stumbling in coalitions and even the dreaded Ottomans. Not to mention nation's bankruptcy and manpower exhaustion. Muscovy's early game can be a nightmare. 

I hope the new DLC for Victoria 3 may indeed be released next month on the third week of June. It would be a magnificent thing to fully return to the game I so enjoy. But for now, we wait... and also, I suppose I should wrap up today's post. But before we go, speaking of June, it is in this month that my blog will be 6 years of existence, which is pretty insane! I still can't believe it has been so long. Okay, now time to wrap it up. I hope to return here to this publication, God willing and my mood being endurable, around some moment next week. Until then, wish you the best, as I say, and hope to see you again real soon! Farewell...
