In Which the Civ 5 mod Vox Populi has balance issues...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Wish you a happy Friday, and an excellent weekend that is to come next! How are you? How have you been across the week? As for me, I am okay, overall. The weather on my end has been more consistent, as the days have been relatively hot over a number of them. Not ideal, I hope for more rain to cone at some point!  I, for some reason, decided to take the dust off Civ 6, and play it a bit. I trust this is due my Civ 5 current fatigue. Is it my favorite civ? Absolutely. But that said, as I already saw what I wanted on the vanilla, I did mention this time and again, I have since shifted towards mods such as the big Vox Populi one. That gave this entry a rich afterlife with me, specially as Civ 6 fail to sit well overall.  Alas, this mod is not a silver bullet to revitalize a game that I have play more than enough at this point. I am happy to still try it, but this particular mod has a huge issue concerning wars, which is borderline...

In Which we Welcome February! Start of the new Course and other Topics du jour...

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend! Happy Monday! How are you today? How has the weather been for you? As for me, I am okay, and the weather has been somehow lesser hot than the worst of January... Not sure how that would proceed, though, so I think it would be premature to say the worst of summer is behind us. The diminishing on the most awful heat must be celebrated, but I still sweat profusely even during sleep, due to how strong the sun is. How incredible, don't you think so, that the fact the sun is some meters closer to earth is enough to cause the hemisphere to feel it in such way. Some days ago I booked a visit with an air conditioner repairer, and hopefully he will come next week at some point.... truth is, I don't know if I will go ahead with the visit, because I don't even know if I'd afford to keep it on. I can only say that this is an investment for later, rather than now. For now, I could get a second fan, perhaps, as a fan costs less in a month than an AC...



What to expect for the rest of February? I say this because we are already 5 days in... This post was supposed to have come earlier, but I got sidetracked, alas. Have I mentioned my course has begun? Yes, and it has been chaos, on the sense the tutor responsible has not answered yet for the now accumulating messages of the students, waiting for some fixes and for things to be put on their respective places. I won't let this weight in heavily on this course, yet. This discipline is the one of February, and this is the shortest month of the year... Ah... this is definitely a breach in organization. There are students less forgiving than me. So... yes. We'll see, we are 5 days into the month, the shortest one, as I mentioned. I worked on two drawings, so that is nice! I also got two sketchbooks for summer... For the month, then, I hope to draw, to reaad my book of reading, and also read the activities of the course, do the activities... if I can chat with any friend, I'd love that, as well! Friends are a blessing. What games will I play? Well, I have Sims 3, that I have been visiting for a bit... We have some games I neglected and now that  may revisit, such as Pharaoh and Europa... I am not sure, though... This is also the month of carnaval, a moment I hate so much due to its loud music and vulgarities. I do hate carnaval... I hope those who want to celebrate this, just go away and leave me be. Mom will most likely travel... Grandma may travel as well, so I could be in trouble, as far as I'm aware, as I'd have to spend the season on my own, so that means lunch and food in general would be significantly harder to get by... 

And with that, and also saying that I started wrapping up my project with the architecture office, which is amazing because I did it, and sad because I enjoyed working with them so much... I hope I may have the opportunity to do more work for them in the future... time to wrap up today's post, alas. I wrote 3/4 of it on the computer, so that is nice! With my keyboard and so on! It was a nice productive one I'd say. What is next? I hope to return here as the week progresses, to write some more about my daily routine, thoughts and ideas I may have, and so on. Thank you ever so much for being here, dear reader, and I wish you the best! Cheerio!
