I Should Have Written Yesterday…

There were no matches yesterday, I wasn’t alone and didn’t have anything else planned, so I certainly meant to write a post, most preferably a non-personal one. However, instead of doing that, I ended up spending most of the day playing a little game called Empires of Arkeia, finishing the whole thing in normal mode and then also the first two islands in legendary mode, which gets unlocked after you finish all eight islands in normal mode. And just now, instead of writing this, I ended up taking a break in the middle of this first paragraph to finish the third island in legendary mode as well…
It’s highly unusual for me to pay any attention to a Flash game, in fact it hardly ever happened before, but I was looking through the day’s posts on theCHIVE when I saw a comment that said that almost all of them were stolen from a little-known site called Izismile, so I went there to check, happened to notice that they have a games section as well and this was the only one listed on the first page that got my attention at first glance. Certainly didn’t expect that to result in so much time spent playing it, however, but I guess it shows that I haven’t been playing anything at all in probably over a month now.
Not sure if I’ll be looking into other games from there as well or not, but I guess I’ll be following both Izismile and theCHIVE from now on, at least for a while. It’s hard to give a verdict so quickly, but it does seem that most things gathered from around the Internet are indeed posted on Izismile slightly earlier, though I also noticed a few things posted there after first appearing on theCHIVE, so it may be that they’re both copying the same sources, though not necessarily each other. And it’s not quite everything that gets posted in both places, so let’s see…

Otherwise, various talks that I had last week gave me even more ideas of issues to write about, but ideas are certainly not the problem. What I’m lacking is the skill to put those thoughts into words properly and, more importantly, the mood to even try. It’s so much easier when I’m debating or arguing with someone, at least when it’s not someone I’d really want to support, but it would appear that I can’t even turn my side of such debates into posts. After all, that one about the punishments that those who would still try to have children after being told that they’re not allowed to do so should receive is still waiting in a file, as it has been for months now. But let’s see what I’ll manage to come up with later this week, if anything.

And speaking of the end of the week, I should also let anyone who may happen to read know that the site apparently won’t be accessible for about four hours at some point during the weekend, since I got a notice stating that the datacenter used by my host will undergo a major upgrade at that time. Let’s just hope it won’t happen Sunday afternoon or evening, when I’ll probably be struggling to post something.
