This is going to sound a bit crueler than intended... but, oh well.
I've decided to try to start watching Biffa again, with a very different perspective: I now pretend that he's someone's dad who only played Civ once or twice back in the 90's and has now stumbled upon his college age son's Steam account with the Civ 6 GS preview build, while he's off streaming Fortnite or something. (Which would put him in my age range - although in my mind's eye I project him as about 10-15 years older.)
I still highly disagree with his self-assessment of his abilities ("I'm just not a min-maxer").
*Cough* He doesn't even know what I would consider the mid-level nuances of how to play the base game. For example, he's unsure why he can't use his Great Writer a 2nd time (hint: he doesn't actually have any theater squares).
But it honestly seems like he's having fun playing!
He's certainly not on auto pilot, and he's trying to experience what the game has to offer.
He knows, at some level, that the Inca like the mountains. He's bumbling and stumbling through the game mechanics trying to take advantage of that, not actually understanding why the Inca like the mountains.
He's even been willing to read the comments on his videos and try to play better, but it really hasn't helped much.
Instead of yelling at the screen, I am actually cheering him on when he doesn't screw the
entire turn up. I was even happy for him when he
but you know little victories and all that!
Is it Valentine's day yet? God, this last week and a half is gonna kill me!
