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.

In which we talk about the Corn season with no Fireplaces

Good morning dear reader, happy Monday and I wish you the best! How are you today and how are things going? I wish you the best and hope all is well with you! As for me, things are alright, as my friend Ethan would say. Anyway, how is the weather where you are today? Here it is nice and cozy, quite a lovely winter, honestly! Such a nice thing! Well, it could be better if we had some fireplaces, but you really can't have it all. This corn season with no fireplaces reminds me of 2012, let me explain why...


In 2012, my grandpa went to the hospital in São Paulo. He ended up returning from there worst than he went, because the surgery he had to do was a disaster, in a way of putting it. That year we didn't have fireplaces in the Corn Season, dad didn't think was appropriate to do so, quite the shame, honestly, as I come to find out, in times like these it is as good having times of joy than in any other moment. No fireplaces in 2012. Well, that year is till this day remembered as the best year of my life for a number of reasons, they would sound trivial today, but back then it were quite the big deal, things such as having friends that actually like me, getting what you want to get, specially when that thing seemed out of reach, good grades in the subject that I struggled the most, having a blog with a nice story being written there, quite what I had in 2012!
This year, no fireplace as well, also for medical reasons, the Corona vacation, so to speak... and it got worse, now that you need to wear masks and all sort of thing, it is a bother... but it doesn't mean, again, that the year is going bad, I find 2020 to be a good year so far, maybe it's just me. I will miss the fireplaces though :( Lots of phases I had in past Junes, such as the era of cake on breakfast, 2018. And the Door Monster era: part 2, 2017. I also had a Door Monster era: part 1, in 2016;
In 2011, I had quite a nice fireplace, with lots of my favorite show as well, and Fondue! I absolutely love Fondue, it's been a while since the last time I had it, I'd love some more honestly! In 2009, the same thing, those were nice seasons!
This post is like a nice nostalgia session, I am glad to be speaking of past situations, well, thank you for being here, reading this, wish you the best dear reader, and I see you next time, and I hope the next time is soon...
