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 Chaotic Thanksgiving post!!

This post was written yesterday, on thanksgiving! I started typing it right after midnight, but I could not finish it, and trying to go back to it, in the evening, bore no fruit. Hence, I am posting it today. 

I did have much much anxiety yesterday, that I could not recover from until this early morning, that was a major factor that destabilized me. In any case, I won't add anything to what I wrote yesterday. The post will remain finishing a bit abruptly. We will hopefully return to a more regular post soon! I may write to wrap up November and begin December...

Good morning, my good friend, reader of this post! Happy Thursday and happy Thanksgiving! Today, when our good american friends are having a day of bounty and rest, I would like of course to express my gratitude over the friends I have, how happy I am to have someone to chat with! It is a huge joy! And, how are you? How have you been? What are you grateful for? I do hold conviction there is always something to be thankful of... in any case, I am okay, Id say... neither too melancholic nor too gleeful. I did have a terrible moment just now, but it is okay, I eventually will surpass such extremely destabilizing situation. The weather has been heating up, at days reaching 32 celsius by lunch. Quite a sauna, I am not fond of this weather, I miss Winter. My sole consolation is the ongoing christmas 2024 season.

On the realm of games, today I would love to play some Sims 3, only haven't done so already because I also wanted to play Victoria 3 and Civ 5. Maybe, next time I return to the computer, I will do it. The hardest part of any game, I'd say, is really going further the play button and the menu. Specially with a sandbox one, where I am usually very much out lf ideas in what to do. At least the performance of the game is recovered, it took a nose dive when I decided to try some mods for the game. It was not a good trade off, hence I removed them. 

The past few months I reunited so many books on my files, I don't even want to get new ones anymore, I already have plenty to read. It has been a season with very slow reading progress, too, unfortunately. The book may have finally captured me, after a while of struggling with the material, but I am still with my distracted soul, and lacking the desire to push forward when I don't want to do it. 

So, today, in this tepid moment, where I did suffer but not that much, suffered due to being reminded of a past trauma, I really wanted to get over the situation even if briefly, to mark the occasion of thanksgiving, and to also come around and wish you a good day! I am unsure how to finish it, the post, given I started writing in one moment but left it to finish on another, quite distant from that one.
