In Which I talk a bit over my clock of christmas celebration and some other topic(s)

Good morning, my friend! How are you, today? How was your week, and so on? As for me, I am okay. The weather is heating up, certainly summer is on its way. I miss the colder days of winter already. There is the good side of the upcoming changing of seasons, though, and that is the fact that this also means therr will be the height of Christmas, soon!  You know, I say height because I do my best to start the season as early as I can. I may try and have a Midmas around June-July. Started this experiment in 2025, and I love the idea, but alas, I did not go too far with it this 2026, because I was a bit sad and stressed out over college bureocracy and other woes, not in the mood, and since it was more optional, I did some image searching on Pinterest and Pexel for some nice wallpapers. As with some places in the world, I am more emphatic on it around September, but Loosely, it depends on my energy levels. It is hard to be on full jolly mood by oneself, it is a season for sharing all th...

In Which Civilization VII is just a bad title as a whole

Good evening, my friend! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are okay? Let me know at some point! And tell me about the weather as well! As for me, I am okay..? It is complicated, as I am facing so many anxiety peaks the past few days. Some moments I don't feel my mouth, others, breathing becomes harder than it should. I am tired, also. But overall, the weather is nicer than before, so there is that.

You know, I don't like bringing attention to dead horses, but I did notice Civilization 7, a title who's infamy grows by the day, released a hefty update a day ago. Because they did produce a lot more music to it, that caused me to be quasi-excited to see where they'd go from here. Released the new things, I went to go as far as playing it. I can say, now, that I am excited to try Civ 5 again, as such. 



Ah, I never had many hopes for Civ 7, having calling it a Humankind ripoff from the first official trailer. They did actually try this time, though, to bring this stillborn entry to life, and for the first time since its launching. Imagine that I am frustrated, then, to say I still feel repulsed by this entry, or at least they will have to spend much more time and money to bring it to a funcional state. I would suggest move away from this one, try a new Civ title next, instead of turning the fate of Civ like what happeend to Sims 4, another stillborn entry. I do have a snarky language here, but I am not rejoicing exactly in this immense failure. It is just, the game is too loud concerning User Interface, the colors are mute and the environment ambience so uninspiring I could cry out of frustration. I spend money on this dang title, I want to at least move past turn 30 with it, but so far I have had no real desire to play it much. In fact, I feel a bit repulsed by it. I have not look to get a repulsion, but it has found me, and the more I see of the 7th entry of Civ, the more I detest it. Maybe I will keep on trying, but it becomes more clear it will not stand the test of time.

Just really disheartening to see the fall of something I like, such as Civ. It has become routine it seems, to see many things we used to look up to become rotten. Here as well, woke is to blame, and the left marxist view that is the destruction of all goodness. All the bad lessons were learnt with some failed projects in the field, such as Humankind, which really did not help. 

Apart from the games, and the fact I hope I can do a drawing today at some point, there is also my college activities that I should pay attention to. I suppose they can be done. I am dreading the internship situation, I wonder if they will allow me to even move semesters, given I could not do anything of the sort. I have so much in my mind that causes my mouth to dry up and my heart to sink, so I would love not to add that in the basket either. Just tired. 

I also am happy I finished another post here on the lovely publication. At times I feel disheartened if a post is not the one of my absolute mad dreams, if a post does not change my life forever and I write the spell to charm the whole known universe. It is profoundly frustrating the lenght my mind goes not to do anything. Well, it is a miracle then, at least today, that a post came out! I trust we should celebrate that? I certainly am happy you are here, reading and sharing your time so generously with me. I hope I can return with more thoughts and ideas real soon! Hopefully before next week! Until then, farewell just for now!
