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. I did not h...

In which we talk about Coloring Pencils and Christmas Gifts

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday! What a lovely moment! Happy December and happy Christmas season, the best moment there is! How are you? I do wish you the best, and I hope the weather is mild and calm winds refresh your home! I have some stuff I'd like to chat with you guys! Let's jump to it, shall we?

Today I bought, for the first time, Airpods, to mostly replace the earphones I currently use. My current Earphones are okay, just are not doing too well quality wise, which is never a good thing. One bad thing about my purchase is that I spent a lot of money on it, more than I was willing to spend, basically spending most of my Christmas money on it. Made me sad and stressed out. Time will tell if I made the right decision or not, that's for sure! As there is nothing much on the horizon that I'd like to spend my money with (of course, I'd like a new phone, but a new phone is gonna take me a while to save enough to get it) and I still have some money left, hopefully it will take a while before I spend it, and also, I hope to not spend it on food! Specially because I really do need to lose weight! My situation this December is not ideal, you can't have a perfect Christmas season, can you? I will eat some food this Christmas, of course, but I'll try to not overeat and stuff, that wouldn't be ideal at all! I was thinking of getting new color pencils as well, but I have so many already! Can you have enough of them, though? If you ask my pencil case, he'd say "Daniel, that's enough" the poor thing is so packed with stuff!

One good thing for today, I mentioned above that I want a new phone, but my current phone, not only is beloved by me, but also is still kicking hard, even if I got it in like 2017, 3 years ago! The memory is still not even half full, which is amazing, and I have the cloud, that helps. I'm getting worried with the fact it will soon be outdated, BUT well, like I said, my particular phone is still kicking!

One last thing, I was chatting with someone about color pencils, and I want to share some knowledge here as well, when you color, make sure you do the circular moves, not the straight one, as the circular move allows for a lot more freedom when coloring! If you color it on straightline, you must do it on one direction, or else the change in direction will show, and will be ugly most of the time! The freedom of movement is not the only benefit, it also allows for better results when merging colors! If you want to do a gradient and so on, it is really helpful to do it in circular movements! 

I am thinking about what to write next on the blog, my mood switches from moment to moment, but I'm thinking about writing on the campaign of Anno 1404, when I was a kid I thought "wow this is so well made" but today I'm like "this is so dumb!" This is for another post though! As for today, it's getting a bit long, so I'll end the post here, I wish you the best, and I bid you farewell!
