In Which we talk about Verosimilitude in Video Games

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post, at the divagation store! How are you? I pray you are well? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, there has been some insane times, the past 3-4 days have been the longest months of all years I lived. I tried writing before, but at the end of the day, it would not be possible to think clearly. Today, I am on a more stable plan. I am really not sure how to write what happened without turning the whole post both too long, I may mention it, but for now, I wanted to just talk of more trivial things. I did play some Victoria 3 today! They will be releasing a new dlc in November 5th, adding a series of events and special content catered towards the Russian Empire. I wonder  if it will make the game joyless for the otherwise lovely time I have developing Russia. My default match in Victoria 3 is selecting Russia, passing lasseiz-faire laws, both freedom of trade and economic descentralization, alongside all it comes wirh it, such a...

In Which I go to the cinema for the first time after three years

Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things going? I haven't been around much, have I? Sometimes we have more productive months, sometimes more laid back ones. How is the weather where you are? Here it is fresh and reasonable, with lots of rain, the way I like it. Yesterday I went to the cinema for the first time in three years, with my aunt, my cousins, and grandma... it wasn't that good of a movie, I think, kinda dragged a bit (a lot, actually) and I felt sore for sitting for so long in a chair that isn't that comfortable at the end of the day. It was good to go out I guess, otherwise I'd just have stayed home, and I usually don't do much in the evening, because I have that mental block that time of day... 

And I think I've been reasonably okay, I'd say... just kinda getting unmotivated too fast, too easily, which is concerning, to some extent... I hope to play something other than Europa, such as Anno 1800, because I have this Anno game sitting for a while, maybe it's time to return to it? I've been trying Humankind the game yet again, but it's a game that... I just don't feel connected to. Plus they are about to update the game, hopefully soon, so I can test it out. I could play Age of Empires, could be a good call!

One of the things I don't like doing when it comes to my blog is posting the link to it on Twitter, I don't know why, it sucks... I don't even think I like to post it on my discord either... because I don't wanna bother people there. I haven't been streaming much, either... I mean, I think streamers mostly do more harm than good to other people, they act all friendly when they are not sincere about their friendship feelings, I want friends, not circus clowns to take advantage of my fragility and my need for love and friendship and connection. I do have some streamers I like, that I consider friends, such as Matt, Hyper, Luth, those are my favorites, I mean, they are super fun and nice and the kind of people I'd like to have around. I like Flo as well, he is nice, fits all the other categories I pointed out... I met some good folk, but the bad ones I met, and I get frustrated with the good ones as well sometimes, those factors make me discouraged to stream. There are so many weirdos out there, too... maybe I'm one of them? I don't know, I don't think I am, I know I like friends, I am fragile and needy, but I have content, I am interesting, and I'm genuine, so much so it can hurt me at times, so I'm not one of the weirdos. I do have some social skills is all I'm saying.


Here's one of the paintings I did, back in 2015, on the art course, it is Patinhos no Lago by the brazilian painter Eliseu Visconti, I have it hanging on my wall here, I mean, this reproduction, not the actual painting. I like this soft impressionism style, it suits me well, though some artist critics of the past were mean to it... Roger Scruton talks about it on his book about Beauty and Modern Culture, he actually have a good thesis on modernism, makes me look at it in a different way, though it doesn't redeem the movement too much... Anyway, this post is quite a success! I'm very satisfied with it, so I'll end things here, and hope to return for another one real soon! Wish you the best, dear reader of this post, and if you are Matt, Hyper or Luth or one of the good streamers, thank you so much. I appreciate you. I truly do.
