In Which we talk about Verosimilitude in Video Games

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post, at the divagation store! How are you? I pray you are well? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, there has been some insane times, the past 3-4 days have been the longest months of all years I lived. I tried writing before, but at the end of the day, it would not be possible to think clearly. Today, I am on a more stable plan. I am really not sure how to write what happened without turning the whole post both too long, I may mention it, but for now, I wanted to just talk of more trivial things. I did play some Victoria 3 today! They will be releasing a new dlc in November 5th, adding a series of events and special content catered towards the Russian Empire. I wonder  if it will make the game joyless for the otherwise lovely time I have developing Russia. My default match in Victoria 3 is selecting Russia, passing lasseiz-faire laws, both freedom of trade and economic descentralization, alongside all it comes wirh it, such a...

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.
