In Which Civilization has a SimCity moment, a bad omen

Hello there, my good friend, kind reader of this post! Happy Friday! Hopefully another beautiful day, maybe we should indeed give it the benefit of the doubt! How are you, my friend? How have you been? I have not write much these days, alas... It is that thing of having some stuff in my head but not being able to take them out to my satisfaction. I mean, we could as well be seeing the collapse of the Civilization franchise, for example. I think I wrote it before here, that I am not optimistic about this title, that their heart (if at all) is in the wrong place for this entry... I could smell the miasma, but now it is clear: reality is even worse than the predictions and projections of before. The Steam consensus, this morning, got as low as 33%, an absolute catastrophic number for the franchise, it is a snapshot of the bad User Interface, the lack of customisation on the game, its mechanics ossifying the main building, or ot is what is implied on even the milder of reviews.

Music of the Week! In which we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?

And hello again!!! After the album of the month, time for the song of the week, our last of August!! The day is still fresh, I'm still on my slippers, and I hope you're still fine! 
Today I wanted to bring a song by one of my favorite artists: Riley Elmore!! He was my absolute favorite on season 11, back in 2016, and I became a mad fan of his, and I still am! Riley is just superb, but if I start talking on him this post will be much bigger than I was intending too, so let's just leave the appreciation post for later, for now we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?


Here's Riley, btw

He released this song recently, and I was very excited and curious to hear it, cause he's amazing and I'm such a fan! I was expecting something Jazz from him, since he's a jazz singer, instead the song has a lot of R&B and it's much more like a modern pop song or a contemporary jazz, it was something I wasn't expecting, so it took me a while to get comfortable with it.
But listening to it for the third time, I was completely sure that song was fantastic! Riley's voice is so soft and subtle and milky, I love it so much, and in this song we experience it at its best! The lyrics are nice and the whole track is really well produced!! I cannot wait to see what he's coming next, cause he's so wonderful!!!! I definitely should make an appreciation post on him very soon!
And if you don't have Spotify don't worry! The song is also on Soundclock, and you can listen to it right here!

And that is it for today!!! Thank you so much for following me on this musical Friday!! You're the best!! And let's say Goodbye to this very nice August! Hope 2019's August be fine too!
