In Which I ask if I have been Fooled by AI

Hello, my good friend, reader of this present post! How are you, today? Hope you are okay, do let me know if ever possible! I am okay, just here, trying to stay afloat in a month that has been intense, concerning the news. In my personal life, apart from the unfortunate gain of weight over the past late months, and some moments of deep melancholia, boredom, and so on, I am quite okay... what else can I ask for? It is okay, I suppose.... I mean, I could ask for some more relief from this horrid heat, I could ask my brother to stop with the noise from his bedroom, I don't care if he can play musical instruments, I prefer to have my music on-demand, and I hate the podcasts he listen to (and he listens to them with no earphones). Anyway... I have a good chunk of an idea to share, perhaps you will appreciate it! Let's jump to it, shall we? I wonder, have I been fooled by Artificial Intelligence? Did I ever consider it could be more than just a useful gadget? With the possibility of ...

In Which we talk about the best cosmetic DLC of Anno 1800

Hello and good morning everyone! It is yet another wonderful week of Christmas Season! And this is the most important one! We'll have the 24th, Christmas Eve, and the 25th, Christmas day! How are your Christmas shopping going? Is the decoration in place? Not a Christmas person, personally? Nothing wrong with that! I just hope this endyear may be a very good moment for you, I sincerely do, because if I want a good moment for myself, I also want to see others thriving. Speaking of thriving, this month of December we've seen, at least for me, a slow Anno revival, they announced a new season, announced new features on the game, such as the return of Scenarios, which is awesome, and they released the new Cosmetic DLC, that was first mentioned a while back! The Vibrant Cities Cosmetic DLC!
And what I think of it? Well, I love it, I believe it's the best cosmetic DLC of the game, because it affects all the Old World residential tiers, and the market, too. It brings yet more flavor to your islands, much variety, and the only thing you have to do is change the skin of the buildings, and they added a skin-changer mechanic to the game, it only affects the tiers, I wish you could change the ships with it as well, but anyway, that's for another moment. My favorite part is that it adds the Holiday skin to the market building, you guys know how much I love Christmas, and most of the holidays are enchanting to me! But it goes beyond it. You guys know how the Engineer tier residences have a Hausmann-Paris feel to it, some (like me) like it, some don't, my point is, you can change it how they look now! You can give a brick-London feel to your city, or a more New Orleans feel to it with the colorful tones, or a more Broadway-Monaco feel to it with the nighttime tone! I don't know the general feel towards this pack, but I wouldn't be surprised if it became a fan favorite!


To celebrate such success, at least in my view, I bring you guys this psychodelic Santa I edited on Adobe Lightroom! I mentioned before, I decided to subscribe to the Adobe student plan, even if I'm kinda trapped in it for now, or at least until I can afford the cost of unsubscribing (again: BEFORE YOU SIGN UP WITH ADOBE, MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT IN SOME PLANS THERE IS A COST OF UNSUBSCRIPTION, AND IT IS A LOT OF MONEY),  it's not an uncomfortable prison, like, their softwares and features are AMAZING! I love Photoshop, I love Lightroom, I love Illustrator, and I love all the paid content! It is a very exciting moment in my life when it comes to creativity. 
Anyway, there is not much more to be said about this cosmetic DLC, it is pretty straightforward, and it is my favorite! I believe I should wrap this post up and prepare for this amazing christmas season, that I hope to post on the blog as well, make some drawings, all the awesome sauce. Wish you all happy Holidays and may the calendar keep brining happy Holidays to you!
Make sure to give this song a listen, it is a very good one!
