In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In Which I hardly share any drawings here these days...

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend, and happy Saturday! Weekend time is here, isn't it lovely? How are you, today? How is the weather? Here, it has been slowly changing from the previous horrid summer to a more mild temperature of winter. It is already possible now to sleep on blankets, which I appreciate, and I already had the opportunity to use my sweater, the other day!! I am very happy with this switch, I hope it indeed continues, as it should. As for myself, I am okay, a bit uninspired today. I got a new Chef Restaurant game on Steam, but after playing it for a bit, I decided I did not want the game, and requested a refund, alas. The reason why I did that is because the game is in first person, which I greatly dislike, as it makes me motion sick, even. And second reason is because I can't get past the whole "pronoum" thing. Unecessary, and I am done on financing woke games as a whole. I stopped with Sims 4 in favor of Sims 3, as an example. This incident with the game left me unmotivated and clueless on how to spend the rest of my day, as I was planning on trying this game more closely. I will see what I can do instead. 

My friend Charles returned to play Age of Empires, that made me want to return to the game as well! Both Age of 2 and 3, though very little space is left on my laptop after I installed both games, and as I had to purchase the new DLC for AOE2 that I was missing, the refund I got with Chef Life is diminished... anyway, what civ should I play first, going back to AOE2? And what other civ should I try in AOE3? Entertaining questions! I hope I can do a game with the Koreans or Burgundians. And also, I hope I can play some more Germans in Age of Empires 3, as this is my favorite civ! Cannot wait till they release the new DLC for Age of 3, but that will still take a while, as it is scheduled to the end of 2024. Let us hope it is not postponed or anything.

Apart from games, I have not been drawing much, given how tired I feel during the mornings and afternoons... Every time I lay down, I immediately feel my eyes heavy. Sometimes, even as I sit down, is enough to make me want to snooze. Such a bother, because I cannot have coffee, so my sleep time is completely off. But that being said, as I waited for Age of 2 to install, I did a small drawing, nothing special, looks like most of my other ones, I did it just to make something while the game was downloading. It is what it is...


Here is the said drawing! It is one of my boys... it reminds me of another one I did some years ago, but I can't remember it properly as it has been years since I did it. I guess I could share it online... on Instagram, but I should not expect that many likes anyway... I have not been that creative when it comes to drawing. It is frustrating to look at the sheet of paper and not feel any inspiration whatsoevet, any idea at all... to think of which, I guess I could do a Croissant, but not sure. I have been dreaming of them due to not being able to eat them yet, unfortunately, as I am recovering from surgery still. I am not 100% yet.

With that being said, I am happy to share a drawing here on the divagation store, since I don't do that as often no more. Anyway, happy weekend, dear friend! Thank you for reading and for being here! Hope to see you again at some point! As for me, I should be back around next week or so, for some more thoughts and ideas, and hopefully not as many laments...
