In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In Which we chat a bit further about Humankind (thanks to my friend Matt)

Hello everyone and good evening, actually afternoon, but I usually write my posts in the morning, so this is like writing really late at night, but today I'm on that weird creative mood that I'd love to have it more often, so let's take the most of it! How are you today? How are things going? I do wish you the best! And how is the weather? Here, the weather is absolutely miserable, I'm struggling a lot with the heat, been sweating the whole day, is like being in a sauna where the thermostat is completely broken.

As we are chatting about one of my favorite games, and that is because of one of my favorite guys, here we also have one of my favorite colors, just for the sake of having a picture on the post! Hurray! Okay, moving on

I'd like to dedicate today's small talk on Humankind to my friend Matt aka MattMaddux, whom I was talking about the said game in the morning. Thanks for being one of my best friends, brother! As you know, as the variety gamer-streamer you are, if you ever want to play some Civ and has no idea where to begin, I'm your guy! 

So, a couple of considerations into the game: Humankind has good things, like the culture system that some may hate, and some things that aren’t as good, the bugs are the main thing that turn me off. I'd love to see some legendary leaders of history being teleported into the game, like, imagine Montezuma as Emperor of Spain, that would be the ultimate experience, the next logical step of having Brazil colonizing Portugal on Civilization V, I'd also say Civ VI but that one only featured Portugal on one of its lasts DLCs, so yea, that game took a while to be a complete piece. Back to Humankind: It is essentially a game in which you lead a group of nomads from the neolithic time till the contemporary era. As time goes, many things change, such as your culture for example, some hate that, I love it, as brings lots of flavor into the experience. You can be Babylon in the ancient era, then switch to Greece in the classical era. I believe it is as complex as Civilization is, in somewhat different ways, there are definitely similarities between those franchises, but it isn't as copy-paste as you'd believe, it also isn't a Civ killer. It has potential to make Civ 6 fade a bit, but that's all for now, what it can do, its impact. Also, You have two science victories and a fame victory. So, in some points is more limited than Civ. I do believe the game is more about the journey than the winning. Which is the same with civ.

Essentially this was my talk with Matt this morning, on his discord server, about the game. I thought it was interesting and I decided to share it here as well. Anyway, one reason I have a blog, when I'm in the mood, I talk a lot! I apologized for spamming his chat with my game stuff, but well, discord is a place for games, after all.

I'm glad I managed to put together a post in the freaking afternoon, how huge is that! And I thank you guys so much for being around! Love you all! And, as we draw to an ending here, on this post, I hope to return real soon with another post of me chatting about whatever. See you then!
