Lol. If you haven’t tried I, you really should. It’s like an Enemy Within Demake, with all of the same features and better strategy. You can get an Alien Grenade Launcher that allows you to strategically control the route of the grenade. It allows for absolutely bonkers strategies like blowing a hole in the top of an alien battleship, guiding a grenade in blind to the enemy command structure, and then dropping in afterwards like some sort of Hi-Tech Psionic SWAT Team. Makes the entire enemy team panic. And makes for easy clean up.
Absolutely loved that game.
Edit: I think Xenonauts 2 is supposed to be pretty similar.
XCOM: UFO Defense (1994)
It’s by far the best version of XCOM. I mean. The graphics are as great, but it has all of the same features as the modern version (not joking), and I think the strategy is by far better. You can also have your own base that you have to defend.

Can’t forget Stamets. I think I remember seeing a chain of about 10 posts from him all in a row on ‘All’. I was fairly impressed.
That’s a bad faith argument. No body wants that. Just because it exists doesn’t mean I’m defending it. The alternative is letting a paste-brained Putin-wannabe become King.

Alteon@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•Landlord Raises Rent to Cover the Cost of Never Doing AnythingEnglish21·1 month agoKeep being salty. I’m sorry mate, your inability to get ahead isn’t my problem, but maybe it’s just easier to convince yourself that your just a victim instead of being an unsuccessful bigoted little troll. This is a ‘you’ problem. I have zero guilt. Literally zero about owning property. If you need to call me a leech to make yourself feel better about being a complete fuck up, have at it. Hope it helps you feel better about yourself.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•Landlord Raises Rent to Cover the Cost of Never Doing AnythingEnglish51·1 month agoI don’t have to justify shit to you. I’m sorry you’ve disillusioned yourself that somehow I’m the enemy because of your inability to buy a house.
Your hatred and ignorance makes you no better than any other prejudiced hate group. You know nothing about me, but you think it’s okay for people hurt me and my well-being because you already determined I’m some sort of “enemy”. Hell, it’s how most monsters morally justify committing heinous and even monsterous acts against others that they perceived different to them…or against them.
Get help dude. Not sure where you fucked up in life that you think your behavior is acceptable, but seriously mate, you should see someone about it. It’s not healthy.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•Landlord Raises Rent to Cover the Cost of Never Doing AnythingEnglish104·1 month agoYou’re nothing but a small-minded bigot. You know nothing of my situation, but have already justified it in your head that I’m a bad guy.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•Landlord Raises Rent to Cover the Cost of Never Doing AnythingEnglish234·1 month agoI was this way. I don’t go crazy with rent, but I’ve been taking advantage of by EVERY SINGLE TENANT I’ve ever had. They couldn’t pay one month? That’s fine. I understand things are hard, just get back to me later the next month. They haven’t paid after 3 months? Here’s a rental assistance program, I’ll help you apply to whatever you need. Okay. You haven’t paid or tried to pay in 6 months now, nor have you returned by phone calls, I’m going to have to send you a notice of default and evict you. Okay. Now I’m a scumlord, I guess. And now they clogged all the pipes. Broken every dry wall panel and window, poured antifreeze into my well, and caused significant water damage throughout the house because I’m the bad guy. Cool.
Another tenant turned the house into a drug den. Another became addicted to opiates after a back injury and lost his job, and stopped paying rent because he needed it for more drugs.
Like. I get it, no one likes landlords, but my God. Everyone thinks they are entitled to treat your home however they want, and then are shocked when your upset that they don’t uphold their end of the bargain or take care of the house.
Long story short, people on both sides suck.

Our country is actively shooting itself in the foot, and blaming it on DEI.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•US National Science Foundation axes Equity DivisionEnglish211·2 months agoBecause we all know STEM fields aren’t already white-male dominated. Making it more hostile for women and minorities will reduce the amount of people that even want to get into the field, thus reducing actual talent. Studies also show that diverse groups tend to problem-solve better than homogeneous ones as they tend to consider a wider array of possibilities and avoid groupthink.
Fuck this frail white-ego bullshit.
