In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

In Which I am once again Exhausted

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things? As for me, I am okay! Took me some time to wake up, but that is fine, I can afford the extra sleep. I do like my morning moments but I also like to wake up fully rested. Even after some coffee.. I still feel tired. I do not think my weekend helped much. I had some bad moments, such as terrible nightmares. Never ideal.
How is the weather for you? Here, it depends on the day. At the moment, it is raining, so that is nice. Rain brings some freshness, even if winter is already turning to spring. And in the tropical area, usually spring is just more summer…


I was thinking, these days… is the game Humankind really worth the trouble, in the end, years after it was released? I am sad to say, in the end, I am prone to believe not at all. Why? The pacing of the game is off, and that is a big flaw, one that also really prevented me from enjoying Civ 6 more. There is just too much happening all at once for me to actually like playing it. The organization issues are chronic in many ways. They really don’t see to comprehend the issues the game have, either, instead focusing on non-issues by the side. The cultures they added have no charisma at all, either, being more of an ESG move than something that seems spontaneous. More of a white guilt thing, which I detest. I think most of my criticism, and the huge flaws of the game, can be summarized in what I said. I want to like this one, I just cannot, however. One more time uninstalling… what else is there to be said?
Will I draw, today? That is a good question, and I don’t know how I’ll answer to that. I don’t like feeling like staying in bed all the time, specially when I will actually have stuff to do. But well, I am sleepy, at the end of the day. It has been exceptionally hard to write on the blog, once again, these days… it is very frustrating. At moments, it seems like my brain is hibernating. Just don’t feel like doing much, at all. Don’t seem to be excited or happy about anything. It sucks. I dislike this.
So, this small post is an achievement of sorts, I wrote with my eyes wanting to close and my hands barely can hold the phone. No, I won’t have more coffee, but also, it is true I am exhausted… sick of living sometimes.
