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 I frustrate mysef over the bad Civ V match

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday! It is the last one of 2020, what? How could this happen? It seems like I was making my first drawing of this year yesterday! Do you guys remember how slow the beginning of 2020 was? It was marked to be a bad one, and at a certain point it was being like that. It improved ironically as the world went bananas over the Kung Flu. As I was at home, nothing but me, my videogames, my immediate family (brother and mom, that yes, stress me overtime, but not as much as my other family members do (love you guys, promise)), my discord family, with no pilates or college concerns for the foreseeable future, yes, after a huge blow in March, it was when started to turn around for the better. How are you? Hope your last Monday may be a blessed day, one way or another. So, how is the weather? Here, oddly enough, it's been a more mild summer somehow, with rain and winds, even if it doesn't make it less hot at moments.

And with the Last Monday, we had the last Sunday! How did you spent it? I decided to play Civ V yesterday, and this revealed to be a grand mistake in the end, even if I took no risks and chose playing as Rome, one of my favorite civs. I mean, it started well, good starting location, which is crucial, and I built all the classical era wonders I wanted, it was a game that seemed to be going well, until someone reached the MODERN ERA in like 1690, like WHAT!!!! I was barely at the Reinassance era at that point, so it was a huge red flag. Other civs started reaching the modern era and when I noticed, I was rank 9 of 12 in researched techs, which is another huge red flag, the final blow, that showed me the game was lost it was when someone built Broadway, a wonder that I usually build on like the 1870s onward, something was truly unbalanced on that game, and I dropped it in the end, wasn't worth stressing over it indeed! I spent like two hours in that dang game, and for what? I ended up miserable! Without the will to play anything, really, totally bummed. Well, I didn't learn my lesson, because I was trying Civ V again later that same day, yes, this is how I spent my last Sunday of 2020, but it wasn't a bad thing in the end, like, every day is a blessing, even when the day wasn't as good as the last one...

Today is just a quick rant on some not so great things that happened to me, can you believe this Wednesday is going to be my last post of the year? That's crazy! And the anno domini 2021 will start on a Friday, I like the sound of it. Anyway, thank you for being here, I see you again real soon!
