Hello, my great friend, reader of this post! Happy Sunday Funday, good afternoon! How are you, today? How is the weather? As for myself, I am okay, overall! Happy enough, not entirely sad. Tepid. I'd take this over melancholic any day of the week, to be fair. Issues? Sure, there are issues, but I am fine. Won't destroy this mood just because I can't pay my bills right now. I will enjoy the tepidness while it lasts, and hopefully will aim for more joy, if I can. Minor problem: I decided to try some Civ 4 this weekend, and it has been quite a misadventure. The game is chaos, and it always ends with some civ with a massive army on my doorstep, which is frustrating, to say the least. Can't say this is a major problem, but still. I hope I can play something else, as soon as I'm back in the machine, as now I am taking a break to stretch my legs... In the list of games, I have Caesar IV in mind, where I will rebuild the city of Carthago. We'll see how it goes. On other realms, I Have been finding hard to return to reading, hard to concentrate, I always have my head somewhere else. It sucks, I want to do a bigger effort to read just a bit more, which would be progress in comparison to now, where I read not at all. We'll see, we always see...
Some flowers to start the week in the most correct way!
The friendship apps have been a mixed bag. I did find out most people there are not really looking for friends, honestly I wonder what they are realistically aiming for in the first place. It is a shame, but if the soul is rotten, a pretty face won't hide it for long. That being said, I did meet some seemingly extraordinary folk there, so I guess they do fulfill their promise, even if not entirely. I mean, better than Instagram I suppose, if the odds of someone looking for a pen pal in the friendship app is maybe a 40/60, on Instagram, odds are 10% friendly 90% terrible. I still follow people there, on Instagram, but most of the... I hate this word... content there, is trash. Anyway, at least with the person blocking me, I am more free to handle my own affairs. I just hope I don't fall for anyone again, or anyone that will treat me like he did. I deserve a break from such situation, because no one should ever pass through what I did. Anyone deserves a fulfilling friendship, that is mutual and that enriches life both ways.
Anyway, For me, I suppose this year of 2024 has been a year of revival of old games! As I have been playing more ones released before the 2010s... I can name a few: Caesar IV is the more recent entry, but there has also been Grand Ages: Rome, Civilization 4, at the beginning of the year, and thid weekend... also Sims 3... Anno 1701, a title I've been trying to get into for a while, now, sometimes I also play Anno 1404, which I love... you get the picture, even if I also sometimes will play Anno 1800 and Victoria 3, I like me some old games... and It is not that I grew tired of Civ 5, that is not the case, it is just that one sometimes want to try a different experience, that hasn't been visited in a while. There is also Civ 3, but Civ 3 is a bit more archaic, and harder to get into. That says something, because as I mentioned, Civ 4, at the difficulty level I'm in, the noble one, level 4, it is quite a frustrating experience. One that I don't know how to remedy, if that is even possible... still, it's not as bad as Civ 6 on Emperor difficulty...
I do hope this new week is a nice one! It will be closer to my birthday! I wonder what I'll do, who will I hang out with, if any person at all. I mean, most likely I'll spend the day with mom, which is lovely, but I'd love to talk to a friend, Johannes for example, though I am really not holding my breath, you know he is not reliable. This birthday, I mentioned I wanted a new phone, but I think this will have to be postponed, better is to pay my bills... anyway, should I wrap today's post here? I think I wrote enough for a post, which is always amazing, given sometimes it is hard to even write a single line. I am satisfied! When should I be back? Well, the month is on its last quarter, I may do one or two posts and we'll be done with July, and into August we go! Hopefully a post this week is in order, but I won't promise what I can't keep. In any case, thank you dear reader for being here! Wish you the best, always! Happy new week!!!.
