In Which we have the nostalgia for the wrong year, and hope for Venezuela finally

Good morning, sir, happy Saturday, madame, jolly readers of this present post! All of you a dear friend in potential! How are you? As for me, I am tired but okay. A bit battered, true, I eat and feel no relieve of hungry feeling, maybe I need something more substancial, and we do have food here today, thankfully! It is the beginning of the month, and as such, mom did the groceries, I did some purchases of light snacks for myself. I am aware that some moments due to logistical issues, or sometimes lack of funds, we are out of our refreshments, but today is not one of those. So, my current lack of nourishment is just myself not wanting to cook, not right now. Even if this affects my mood, there is much to celebrate actually. On the third day of the year, Venezuela has finally reason to rejoice. The misdeeds of the demon dictador Maduro finally came to haunt him, as Trump, taking back the heeds of foreign affairs from the inaction of Biden, has arrested such bad and communist and evil (to...

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!
