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 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.
