In Which we have the tone for 2026 more defined: Dialogue of the Jane Jacobs

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Of course, do let me know! As for me, I am okay. One hour at a time, at moments I am okay, at others I am exhausted, turbulence. Never quite good, I think I will be above okay when I can chat with dear friend. And with so many dear friends, and I will chat for hours and will have stimulating convos with so many handsome people. I love handsome people, unfortunately most, it seems, do not love me back, but anyway... even if this good state that I envision is not to be achieved that easily, frankly not even to be that much chased actively, if I can feel somewhat comfortable on my skin and have some hobby on the horizon, as well as a soft place to rest my body, I suppose this is okay enough. What can be said... I can ask for much more but I also will not insist. Could be worse... it is what it is.  Summer proceeds, the weather varies from some days with rain and a bit of relief, and much more with the heat being quit...

In Which I am scared of running out of titles for the blog's posts

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are you today? How are things going? As for me, I am okay! The release of the remaster of Pharaoh and the new continuing update to Vic3 has kept me happily busy! I think I have mentioned before also, classes are back, but I'm yet to properly return to studying, that is not ideal, I must return (or actually start) a proper studying routine. Hopefully today I'll do it, at least one class at the website. I am still to finish that drawing I started, but with the work I did that day, I'm more happy and disposed to return on drawing, perhaps today or any of these days I'll finish this one, and start a new one!! I am also on the adventure of reading the life of Lady Thatcher, as I mention I am on Volume two, and sometimes I get sad because thing seemed to be looking up in the 80's for freedom, while today it seems like we are close to a global dictadorship, either that or the apocalypse. It is very easy to feel dismayed and utterly smashed by how awful things are turning on the world, because the ideas of freedom are constantly being rejected, because the ideas of free markets and free enterprise keep being dismissed. I am aware and I fully subscribe to those, but as a "reward" I get to see the world collapsing due to their stupidity of following collectivism, socialism, that awful monster that destroys everything it touches... the book is a must, indeed a masterpiece of its own, a formidable work about an extraordinary woman. The world needs her more than ever today, and yet, like the Late Romans were denied of an Alexander the Great, we are denied of a Margaret Thatcher on leadership and ideas. On a lighter tone, I am always worried sick about repeating myself on the titles of my posts, this blog has been around for almost 5 years now, and sometimes I feel it's getting harder to not repeat myself in them, I was gonna type "in which I just chat about life" but I probably used that one before. Anyway, also, I am getting used to this keyboard I got, it's not one of those fancy ones, true, but well...

Isn't this image lovely? What a wonderful print! I found it on Pinterest, so many nice things there!

I really needed this! A post just to chat with you guys about what is on my mind, instead of a themed post. Both of those are important and balance is required! Balance, something I tend to fail at, alas. And what I'll do after completing this post? I really am not sure, but I think I could play some Vic3, continue my most excellent gameplay as France. Maybe continue my drawing, do another Pharaoh chapter, this time I'll be going to Meidum, to build some more stepped pyramids to Pharaoh Huni. They are not the very fancy pyramids of the mid-late old kingdom, but they have a certain charm to it! I've been sad because some have been so mean to this formidable project to revive the old city builder... The reviews plummeted, right now they are at 71% of approval, that hurts because I don't think the game deserves this backlash, at all. So many lesser games receiving more approval, I blame the sweaty gamers, what a plague in this earth those are. All of that being said, I am happy to wrap up this very productive post! I really hope I can return real soon with more thoughts and ideas... Hopefully one or two more posts before wrapping up February? Seems like it! See you again, as I like to say, real real real REAL real soon! Happy Weekend!
