In Which the Civ 5 mod Vox Populi has balance issues...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Wish you a happy Friday, and an excellent weekend that is to come next! How are you? How have you been across the week? As for me, I am okay, overall. The weather on my end has been more consistent, as the days have been relatively hot over a number of them. Not ideal, I hope for more rain to cone at some point!  I, for some reason, decided to take the dust off Civ 6, and play it a bit. I trust this is due my Civ 5 current fatigue. Is it my favorite civ? Absolutely. But that said, as I already saw what I wanted on the vanilla, I did mention this time and again, I have since shifted towards mods such as the big Vox Populi one. That gave this entry a rich afterlife with me, specially as Civ 6 fail to sit well overall.  Alas, this mod is not a silver bullet to revitalize a game that I have play more than enough at this point. I am happy to still try it, but this particular mod has a huge issue concerning wars, which is borderline...

In which we talk about the Moonlight Scene!

Hello dear reader, and good morning! Happy Sunday and I do wish you the best! How are you today and how are things going? Wow, let me tell you, I'm a bit groggy, because I took a sleeping pill at 1AM and that thing was strong! So strong, I finally managed to wake up at a reasonable time, 8AM, instead of the 5AM time I usually wake up. Why did I took the medicine? Because I had a huge Burger King dinner yesterday, two cheeseburgers, delicious, two french frie portions, delicious, and two cans of soda, also delicious. All of this made my stomach so full, at the end of the day I couldn't sleep, so here we are at the starting point of this post all over again! I don't regret nothing, believe me.

So, I've been hit hard with the writer's block disease this week, which sucks a lot, and not a whole lot happened that I could mention worthy of an entire post, alas for me. But well, as I went on an adventure (more like a misadventure) yesterday, I managed to do something on Illustrator, the program I began learning last week, and I'd love to share the result with you guys, and a small story on the subject!

There is this tutorial on Adobe Illustrator that I tried on doing (this one right Here) and wow, I thought it was gonna be pretty straightforward and stuff, it turns out it's super complicated! Just my tries on doing the clouds, more than once they went terribly wrong! I had to do the work all over again two, three times, until I got a somewhat acceptable result somehow. But, according to the guy, I should've gone further and have done the animal also, to which I said "hell no". So, this is my final result:


A lonely but powerful moonlight scene, obsfuscating the stars even! This is what I have to offer for today, it's not much but I'm glad with the final result, something that I could use as my lockscreen even! Actually, feel free to do so, if so you desire! Today's post is ending right here, but I hope to come back real soon with more words and interaction! Have a wonderful Sunday! And happy new week!
