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 I get New Old Games, Recovery from the Surgery, new Charging Cable, and Etc...

Good morning, my great friend, reader of this post! Happy Saturday! How are you, and how was your week as a whole? As for me, I am okay, recovering from that big surgery I talked about some moments before, on the blog. I downloaded some very old games into my computer! I got old Empire Earth and old Zoo Tycoon! But, when it comes to play them, I am overall very aprehensive, lethargic, on doing it, for reasons I struggle to comprehend. Maybe it is the fear of missing an important message online, maybe I am struck with option paralysis, due to the sheer amount of games I have on my disposal on my computer at this point... I think the option paralysis is the stronger contender this time, I am terrified of wasting my time doing a game I won't like in the end, that won't be remarkable. Anyway... apart from my concerns, I got a new charging cable today, finally is time to put my older one in the drawer of old electronics. It is nice, as I can charge my phone considerably faster now, and with more quality. And when it comes to my phone... since we are on the two year milestone of having this one, I start to think of maybe getting a new one... but would that be justified, and do I have money for such enterprise? I don't think so, on both ends. Neither is my phone obsolete yet, neither does it concern me at all. My iPhone 11 has been a blessing ever since I got it, never causing me concern. The only thing weighting against it is that the new models look more polished, but as I said, nothing to complain about. And no, I would not have money for such enterprise, either. Neither for a new iPhone, nor for an iPad... it is sad, but for now, it is what it is... maybe someday, when I am working, hopefully on something I enjoy, I will have money to finance a new one, but time will tell. Speaking of iPad, I am yet to return to drawing... as with the new old games, I guess this is due to option paralysis, fear of messing up... stagnation. Those should not be my concerns on a hobby, and yet, they come and they ravage my joy.



I miss my coffee time more than anything, it is causing my sleep schedule to become quite chaotic. I sleep in the days because I am that exhausted, and when it comes to the evening I am awake, but burn out, so can't do anything productive either. Coffee is on the horizon for me, but more close to my grasp is the end of the liquid diet, and beginning of the mixed one! Concerning the liquid, so far I can safely say I SURVIVED! It was a major challenge and frustration, but I am almost at the end of this step, ready for another one. As usual, I dream of croissants, cheese and coffee, sometimes even soda pop comes to mind...

Again, on the realm of nice things to come: EU4 DLC "Winds of Change" is set to be released next week, on Thursday! I can't wait to return to Europa! It will be excellent. Sadly the Victoria 3 new DLC will have to wait further, going to be released next month instead. But that is okay, I suppose it is better to delay the product and do the finishing touches, than releasing it prematurely and risking breaking the game and the trust of us fans into the product.

I want to get over my option paralisis and lethargy when it comes to the new old games and drawing. But procrastination is not necessarily an enemy, not all the time, it exists for us to be mindful of where we spend our time with. What else is there to be said?

Before we go, I also have some extra news: I think the surgery is doing its work, and I am losing weight!! I am perceiving myself to be less chubby at this point, and my clothes to fit me better. Soon I should see if I can try some old ones as well, to see if I can start to expect using them once again. I cannot say for sure of course, but it is looking promising! And, with that, I'd like to wrap up today's post with a Thank you for being here, and to wish you the best for next week! I am quite sleepy, so it is one reason for me to start this wrap up, but also because I think I already wrote enough for today! When to expect to see me again? Hopefully soon, around next week, before the weekend I hope! Until then, keep on going and on being excellent to one another! See you again real soon.
