In Which Fortunately Life Keeps On Moving

Good evening, my friend, reader of this post! How are you? Hope your new month started okay! How is the weather, now that the seasons are moving to another moment? As for me, I am okay, I'd say. Tepid... the month started slowly, yet it is not that promising, given the college discipline for this month seems to be very hard to execute. I am concerned with my woes and laments because they seem hard to deal with. But, overall, I suppose I am okay.  I hope I can work on a drawing real soon. I keep mentioning it, as to bring the moment closer. I detest that feeling of "my next drawing will be my last one". I hate it, but given the work they take, and given I don't even know how to draw properly, and I tried to at least get some classes on it, yet my mind never stays with me while I try to do it. Not sure exactly what causes such confusion. Drawing for me is intense, it is a physical activity, and very filled with adrenaline and at times I feel exhausted afterwards. I am r...

In Which I lose a game of Civ VI :(

Good evening dear reader! How are you and how are things going? I do wish you the best! How is the weather? Here it's pleasant, for the most part... also, I'm here just writing on the blog after a long day of Civ, I'll talk about that in a minute, but before that, did I told you guys I reenrolled in college! Yes! I'm coursing graphic design now, I'm very lost, and I have a couple of activities to do already, but I hope things may work out just fine, I wont let the activities accumulate, in an ideal world at least, and I'll manage to have a nice course, hope so. I skipped the first semester because I transferred from another institution, but well, I'll see what to do, I'll figure things out. Well, I've been trying to play some Civ this morning, even during class, as the class was an online one, I watched the class through my phone and played on the computer. Anyway, as always, it was a journey, and today I'd like to talk a bit about it.

It was an interesting match to say the least, it started really well, and I built most of the wonders I wanted to build, which is the most important, I was ahead of the competition in punctuation, I at some points could have won a cultural victory, could have won a diplomatic victory, but it was not meant to be in the end. Before that though, the end game was very rough, I went on a dark age, Kongo declared war on me, and of all civs this was the most annoying and definitely made my path to victory a rocky one. I managed to get Giant Death Robots and captured two of his cities, burning to the ground one just to intimidate, it was a mistake of their part to declare war on me, but in the end, it was not my game. A obscure civ, Australia, managed to, in a very sneak way, achieve a science victory, I did NOT saw that coming! It was devastating, but well, I get to try a bit more tomorrow, absolutely out of the question playing more civ today. This is a thing on Civilization, it is rough in the beginning, just rerolling to get the nice starting location and so on, but as soon as you get things going, it's magic! I don't know if I'd do anything differently, don't know if it would have altered the final outcome, but anyway, like I said, another chapter on civ begins tomorrow. And of course, this is not the first time I lose on this game, I hope it may be the last one (unlikely but anyway). This post is just about this, my lost on Civ, just as it's part of the grieving process. Well, anyway, I'm glad to be here. Hope you are having a good day, wish you the best tomorrow, and I see you real soon!
