I kinda blacked out in the end and decided to risk my Thermalist position over an extra city. Plus it didn't come to me that animal cards could produce so many points even when they come later in the game...

Both 2P on Elysium.
What I did notice:
For the first game, I got stuck on cards I definitely do not get to play (sold them in the end).
I never bothered to bulk up on steel, power and especially plants.
I hardly paid attention to the award parameters, so the opponent could easily pick one up, leaving me no chance to snatch it.
Seems like even though all the cards look good per buying phase, you have to let some go.
I started on the 3 plant spot in the middle on both. Are there better spots to begin?
On paper, this one's a good corporation, but it could still end up poorly without the right cards and certain conditions.
And just my two cents, but the cruelest thing about BGA is even though it's clear the other guy is the superior with no window to close the gap, it seems like they have the incentive to keep going, and I have to sit there and watch. How does one have that?
Someone posts something that's obviously not true, and someone (kinda foolishly) calls them out on that, and suddenly this guy doubles down plus an anecdote that the people related to the post pulling up with a white van and killed off their extended family.
For the record, I'm not asking as if I'm new to this, it's just that I'm honestly pretty bugged by how many times I've seen this on that platform and the like that I need to make sense of it.
My last game if you want to check it out and maybe give a little input.

Got a little kick of this game after finally getting a physical session yesterday. Not great, but I immediately get a feeling I could do a lot better than that.
I sort of did; I managed to collect some good point cards and scored some decent milestones, but I got beaten mercilessly on all awards (2 of which got snapped on the last gens, one after I miscalculated my remaining supply and underestimated my opponent's).
And obviously the greeneries, how does one compete with that?
I think I clocked over 5 hours+ on a huge honeycomb (Edit: oops, sorry, it's square, honeycomb plays out a bit easier :)) one of this alone.
I mean if she didn't do Hercules like that, why would she be involved in this? In fact considering his age and background, this somewhat equates her doing it to Muffin of all people.
Except maybe that's because she featured in an earlier piece as a proxy for the artist getting brainwashed by Daniel slander-slop on Instagram or the like. (And I blame a couple of YouTubers for that.)
I could try to just let go the fact that kids are constantly getting dogmatized by such kinds of content, but the line was drawn when Bluey gets involved, and especially the part when one of said YouTubers did a piece on Muffin.
