In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In Which we say Farewell November! First official month of Christmas Season!

Hello everyone! Good morning, happy Monday! Merry Christmas Season, Happy Thanksgiving season also, I know the hype for saying thank you died out a bit, but it is always important to say so anyway! And happy second last day of November! How was your month overall? My month was alright I'd say, just enjoying the computer, didn't spent much overall, as the end of October saw me refunding AOE4 for lack of having a proper machine to run it. I did spént some at the end, because it's Christmas anyway, I got a subscription for some music course, that I believe it can add something to my life, I got Stellaris, which is a game I've been on the fence to get it for a while, this end of November is not only Christmas, but also the season of big discounts, so better take the best of what we can get. Christmas decorations arrived late, unfortunately, but fortunately I already took some pretty wonderful pictures of it. In spite of some bad stuff that happened yesterday, which I'll tell, won't hide anything from you guys, a friend blocked me for the like 10th time on Discord, always feels like the last time we'll chat, but well, anyway. Time moves forward, and sometimes I get sick of his lack of thick skin. And I'm saying this because sometimes I feel really sick of being "moderate" or "looking the both sides", nah, I'm representing myself, I'm saying that without the care of looking biased. Anyway, Back to Christmas! Took some nice pictures, more to come, of course, and I'm glad I got to have a very big night of sleep, because otherwise I'd still be sad and upset due to friend issues. I had a very good breakfast, which is nice, also! And I'm already searching for some wallpapers for December, of course it will be filled with Christmas and wonderfulness! Let me share one of the pictures I got:


Found it on the internets and I'm very happy to see it! All the beautiful blue of the night and the yellow of the reindeers! A dream come true! I've been talking to a friend from Austria these days, he is wonderful and we have a lot in common, such as the love for Christmas, a love that many share, thankfully! In my fashion, I'll also change subject just like that, I will remember this November as the Europa Universalis era, one that came after the vacumn that I was having after the Anno 1800 era. Important to say, I still love Anno, and they are coming with some more content soon, not sure if it'll be the last content for the game, ever, and they will be working on a new title for the franchise in the future, so we better enjoy each moment! But yes, I've been playing lots of Europa, it is a mad fun game, it puts me in the charge of running a nation, waging wars, raising monuments and upgrading them, expanding territory, taking care of the budget, of the diplomacy, describing like that, reminds me of Civ, but it's only superficially similar to Civ. Well, I'm overstaying here, the post is getting long! You guys know how I feel about long posts, don't you, at this point? Can't believe it will be 4 years of blogging this 2022! Wow! Well, hope I can write some more real soon, specially when December arrives, but maybe (30% are the odds) before that also. See you all real soon, wish you all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
