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.

Fuck off right now. I just got to this stage in life. Ugh. They are so comfortable though…
Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn’t know it was an arrow at the time.
I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?
I just missed my flight. I was stressed and upset. This greentext…holy shit. I’m in tears laughing. Thanks!
Yeah…
That’s a good one. I actually like that one.
Nah bruv, that’s that citrus fruit that grows from trees in Cali (or Italy if your in the EU).
I tried playing it while unemployed. Did not click with me. At all. I just don’t get it.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Gov. Abbott deploys over 5,000 Texas National Guard troops ahead of planned 'No Kings' protests27·23 days agoI mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an ‘enemy’ to be afraid. It’s the reason we’re attacking their rights, not yours, it’s the reason that we’re enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.
Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the ‘other’. It used to be “orientals” and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900’s. Then the blacks, the ‘marihuana’, and communism in the 60’s and 70’s. In the 80’s, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90’s, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000’s. Now it’s the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don’t stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn’t as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It’s all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they’re ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.
In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the ‘welfare queen’, and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new ‘others’ were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County20·23 days ago100% this. There’s been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there’s been major protests all over the US about it. Like… we’re for sure doing it.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County34·23 days agoAh yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I’m assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot…
Alteon@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans Plan to Ditch Trump’s Birthday Military Parade1·23 days agoThat would be a beautiful thing… Wouldn’t it?
Alteon@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans Plan to Ditch Trump’s Birthday Military Parade2·23 days agoMajor news outlets will not cover the protests. They will happily film the parade though. They will put forth an air of cautious optimism to endear dear leader to their outlet. The only way this gets any MAJOR public attention is if people stop the parade. It will be stopped, there will be a LOT of police action, which will prompt riots, which will prompt more attention. Trump may use it to enact martial law, but he’ll do so at his own detriment. It will not look well at all, but the cancellation of his parade, plus the chaos that will be martial law will only spark more civil discourse throughout the nation.
It’s about to get hairy, folks.
How about we stop deporting people don’t like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?
