In Which November 2026 is welcomed with Christmas and more Artificial Intelligence Thoughts!

Good morning, my friend, cordial reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, and happy November!! The month building up to the best of the year! We are closer to the end of a deeply chaotic one, speaking of which, closer than not. 2025 was quite eventful, but 2026 makes 2025 looks as tepid as 2015 in comparison. As the Christmas part of the year unfolds, more and more breathe relieved, though the perspectives for 2027 are nebulous at best. October was a huge pile of anxiety. The glee of the first half of the month, where I live, turned to immense dread and resentment after the election results in Brazil. The events of such horrendous circumstance are still unfolding. I wrote it was as if the end of the Soviet Union... my more pessimistic side thinks it is more akeen to the Hungarian Spring, though. Perhaps, as Poland, we will have a anticommunist upheaval now, and reap the good rewards later. Perhaps we will have a moment of chaos before it implodes, like with the Soviet Union... the ca...

In Which I am a bit burn out of Civ

Hey guys! How are you? I hope the answer to that is well, if it isn't, I hope things may turn your way soon, I know the world is never that simple, but life moves forward, one way or another. How is the weather where you are? Here it is fresh for now, as I'm writing this post in the morning, I shouldn't get too used to it though, as summer comes, it will only get hotter and hotter, which is an issue for sure! But anyway, today I'm here to talk a bit about boredom and its causes, its most strong cause is my burn out of one of my favorite games, Civ VI, let's jump into it, and maybe on other posts I'll write it more about boredom, maybe it will become a small series on the blog! Can't promise that, but here's an idea for the future!


But first, here's another painting by the talented Eliseu Visconti, a brazilian painter we talked about a bit ago, I love his style, this one, Central Avenue (Avenida Central on the original), made in 1910, is quite lovely and reminds me of Civ V, which is a wonderfully beautiful game, filled with those impressionistic details! Not even Civ V though not even Civ V was immune from burning out, quite the opposite, and speaking of which...

So yes, I feel a bit burn out of Civilization, I don't know why, maybe I played too much, maybe the last paid update wasn't enough for me to feel excited about the game, since Byzantium is not a civ with bonuses I could properly take advantage of, and Gaul is in the same realm of the first one quoted. The Dramatic Ages also weren't enough for me to feel excited about the game again, I still bought the update and I don't regret it, but the fact is I still feel burn out. I think the main reason is though, that everytime I finish a civ game, I feel empty, like the feel after finishing a book, or even finishing a hard drawing that took me a longer time to finish than usual. When you do it before the end of the day, I feel empty for the moment, and the emptiness follows me for a while, which is scarying and also annoying. Everyone can suffer with this burn out, the Saxy Gamer, for example, feels the same way sometimes, by the way, he is an awesome Civ youtuber and streamer, and if you guys, like me, are into Civ VI, I suggest dropping him a sub and a follow, here are the links for his stuff:

His voice is smooth and silky, and he is so cool, he has a kitten named Eugene that like to chew him, it's so cute! I think he's a nice fellow, as well as a great content creator, and I think, even if his opinions many times are not my own, I think it's worth taking them into consideration! I mean, he plays on Deity, the hardest level on Civ, and I play on Prince for the most part, also I started playing on Civ II, he only played a bit of Civ V (my favorite civ ever) and Civ VI, though he played the crap ton of Civ VI, so much you can trust his judgement in the game. He is also very smart, and has an Youtube on Nuclear energy as well, I think it's awesome. He hasn't posted there too much, but I'm gonna promote his channel Isotopical too, so if you have interest in Nuclear Energy, this fascinating and underrapreciated world, give it a sub!

So, yea, this is it for today's post, I should write about this more in the future, but for now it's what I have to offer, thank you so much for being here, dear reader, love you, and I see you real soon!
