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 Have a Wonderful Morning Sun, and also Some Mood Swings, Ups and Downs...

Happy Sunday, dear friend, reader of this post! Good morning, and I wish you the best! How are you, and how was your rest? How is the weather where you are? As for me, I am. reasonably okay... when I started the drafts for this post, I was in a good mood. Yesterday I deteriorated towards a worse kind, and today... I think I am quite well... I am on this videogame burn out, yesterday this was specially the case: I can barely open a game, I dread compromise and commitment... Weather, again, is miserable, too hot and humid for existing. But still, I endure, somehow. I went th the house of grandma yesterday evening, after my amazon package arrived, bringing some paper and drawing related stuff I ordered. I am here, not only because I enjoy the place, and to pay a visit to grandma, but because this summer has been harsh, and I want at least to sleep with an ac unit. Not sure for how long will I be staying over, specially because I also like my good old (it is starting to get old at this point, since I moved in 2021) apartment, but I mean, I will be taking one day at a time. At least for today, I will be here. I also am typing this blog post on the computer, instead of on the phone! Both venues have their pros and cons... but I can't help, at the moment, of feeling more on a productive mood, to be in the computer, instead of laying in bed... I won't trash myself for staying in bed, but well... anyway.

Really, a small source of frustration these days have been the fact finding poetry of the parnassian kind is extremely hard, and this in a time of internet and search engines. Google has been a very unreliable and subpar search engine though, and I more often than not, do not trust it, as I should not anyway. My friend Charles found a website, but it is locked on another region, so I had to use a VPN, and I don't understand much how that works. Something to get more used to...

I was slightly in a better mood on Friday, but on Saturday, because I could not make myself press start on any game, I was sad again. I cannot stand just not doing anything, but also... ah, I will return on mentioning dear friend, won't I? It is that I do not want to make him wait, once he is available to chat. And how I want to chat with dear friend... How I fear overwhelming him. 

And today, I am slightly more inspired. I hope I can, after all, press play in any game. And I took some wonderful pictures as well, as the roses and other flowers were so beautiful, and plentiful, and the morning sun was shining... I also talked once again with a new friend, that I am very fond of... always good to chat! An auspicious start to Sunday, for sure.  Hopefully lunch will be not so scorching hot. I know the food will be good, grandma's house always have good food! Another reason to rejoice is the fact I am using my new huge messenger's bag, that I got for Christmas! I love to make full usage of anything I purchase, and I regret when I purchase something I don't use till I cannot use it no more. I like to purchase new things when possible, but only if I can see myself using and abusing of them.


This picture I am sharing today is likely one of the best I've taken in a while! I am very happy with how it turned out! I cannot wait to share it with everyone! I hope someday I work on drawings inspired on it.

One reason I'd like to be in a better conditioned environment is that I cannot draw while suffering with sweat and so on. Will I draw while I am at my grandma's? God knows better than I do, but at least I have no excuse of not drawing because it is too hot. The chair may be uncomfortable, I very much prefer the one I use at my house, but well...

This is a good point to wrap today's post, don't you think? I will add in this possible last paragraph that I could use some shaving, and I hope to shave at some point, soon, if possible, today. When should I return to the blog, to journal and share my thoughts, and so on? Most likely before next weekend... I hope way earlier than Friday. Until then, thank you for being here, I wish you the best once and once again, and I see you real soon!
