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 say Hello to January and 2022!

Hello everyone and happy new year and happy Saturday, though it doesn't really feel like a Saturday, does it? I'd say something of a Sunday/Monday vibes, anyway, how are you? How was the great event of seeing 2021 turning into 2022? Did you get to see the fireworks? As for me, I spent in my bed for the most part, half time asleep half time hanging out with a streamer friend when someone was around. I could hear the fireworks but that's all, apparently was quite the event! I was way more inspired to write the post before lunch, but since I had the meal I lost most of my train of thought. I really wanted to write a post this 1st day of January, so here we are!



For this January I decided to go for some clouds in my laptop wallpaper, I change them monthly, also changed them on my phone. It is of custom that I also change on twitter, but since I observe the fact one should take decorations of Christmas down January 6th, this is the moment I'll be doing the change. Overall I don't do tendencies for the WHOLE year because the year has 365 separate days in 12 months and so on, I can't even predict what I'll eat for lunch tomorrow most of the time! I don't know if season 4 of Anno will be a success, a failure, anything in between, we can only guess for now. I heard there will be an event later this month hosted by the game studio that develops Humankind, Amplitude, if so, I hope it goes well and it brings some news on the game that could be, but at the moment isn't quite it. I commented was still better than Civ 6 in my opinion, someone disliked that so much it made him wrote back to me on the comment session of Youtube... I won't say I won't play Civ 6 anymore, but I haven't properly touched the game since May, so this could be a red flag for Firaxis if I'm not the only one with this tendency. I just feel Civ 6 is too mechanic, it leaves very little for the imagination. It's fun, because Europa Universalis have a ton of mechanics as well, it is a very complex game that is just hard to get into, and yet, it is more satisfying than Civ 6 (though losing to the ottomans for the 10th time as Byzantium is not fun either, but it's a different feel). At this point I'm just divagating (if there's such a verb). Speaking of EU, I recently joined the server of a guy who do EU4 videos and so on, his username is Ludi Et Historia on Youtube. I think he is charismatic, and I'm looking forward to hang out and possibly grow a friendship with him and with many on his community... but who knows, I could get upset and leave the server sometime soon due to some disagreement, or just the mood, like I left Taka's server, well, so far it seems okay, let's see how it goes, I was not happy with his not so appreciative of Christmas Holiday message for his youtube followers, as you all know I love Christmas to bits, but well... again I ramble (I was gonna type wramble, cause of course I would). 

In conclusion, there is very little I can tell about 2022, let alone February, let alone tomorrow, let alone if I'll get out of this chair and put the dirty clothes of the bedroom in the laundry machine, we can only go one step at a time I suppose. I do hope it may be fine, and I may clean everything up, and that things at Ludi's discord work out well, and so on. And I hope things go well for you as well, dear reader, thank you yet again for being around, and have a wonderful rest of the day! See you again likely real soon.
