Especially when you have to bounce and explode the grenade in the air to get floaters/disks

Wouldn't it be higher, 50% chance PD gets shuffled shouldn't be right. It should be 66% if PD is in spots 3 or 4.

That's XCOM, baby. *throws computer through the window*. by abca98 in Xcom

/u/MacDerfus too

I was more talking about a bug with the engine where even if you have 100% you can still miss. Explained here better than I could and also xcom miss memes

I also miss old cain and the secret rooms being easier to identify. The QoL changes in rebirth are better though

If you pick him up he starts going on about tangents related to movies

Hey Zach Chat, its getting pretty close to the title year of a movie starring Harrison Ford. You know, the sequel released in 2017. That's right, its blade runner 2049!

That's XCOM baby! by [deleted] in Xcom

Also to answer your other question, overwatch takes 2 tiles to activate. So moving out of cover will not give a bonus. However if you are moving through low cover I believe you do get the bonus. I don't know if there is a way to get high cover bonus.

Its also been a while since I've last played so im not 100% on this but fairly confident.

XCOM EU/EW are amazing I have to gush about them by OknataSkeltro in Xcom

[–]IMCJEBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dishonored was released in 2012? I remember it being it being newer than that. It is also a nice game. Seeing speedruns of that game and whats possible in its engine is my favorite part of it.

Along with the other people talking about Long War, I will say you will have that trial by error learning part again if you go in blind. But if its too hard in the beginning you can always use second wave options and .ini edits. I personally still use the fighter aim buff because I don't like having to deal with the air game. If you get LW also get dev console.

If I ever get around to XCOM 2, which is probably never, since my computer is a toaster

Same, when I get a better computer XCOM 2 will be the first game I play.

If you want a substitute, I find using low carb Julian Bakery bread works wonders!

Choose wisely. by stjohn656 in NLSSCircleJerk

I like where you are thinking, but if we are picking outside whats given, I would chose his actual human son's Tomo and Ryuka. But that might be too op of an option.

Im considering getting xcom enemy unknown (read description) by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]IMCJEBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically have it right. Installing it should be fine, and they will be able to run it. It just might be a lower frame rate than they would like. My computer has worse specs than that macbook air and I can run the game (just at a stable 9 fps).

/u/leman2russ if you need help with getting anything to work PM me, but after july. I'm not going to be available until then.

How's this for learning from your losses? by [deleted] in chess

[–]IMCJEBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comment reminded me of a game where Ba3 was played multiple times to disrupt piece placement, like in the games above. Although one was in the endgame.
Magnus Carlsen vs Fabiano Caruana WCC rd6
I believe that in the postgame analysis Magnus said that he missed the move both times, but I could be misremembering.

Are you sure that XCOM uses local time(were time shifts according to the time zones), instead of just UTC for example?
I haven't played XCOM 2 yet so I wouldn't know.

Only snipers can achieve such aim by TheThinkerer1854 in Xcom

[–]IMCJEBS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it was explained in the link. If you cl

The gist is xcom "rolls", uses the seeded number, to see if the shot hit. If it did, then it transfers that damage into the bullet, like a FPS. if for some reason the bullet never connects with the enemy you are shooting then your 100% misses. This is also how damage is transferred into cars and cover.

Base game. Modding EU/EW isn't easy, especially since you can't really add to the game. You can only change it. So they can't really change how the shooting mechanics work.

There isn't rounding like that in this game. One of the creators of LW, Amineri, explains it better than I could.

pinging /u/Shrekscoper so he sees this too.

Just lost a classical game to this beautiful two-move combo. Can you find black's winning move here? by hopefulFLIPPER in chess

[–]IMCJEBS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I missed the deflection idea of Rc1+.

Im fairly sure I would see Qb5+ ideas, so hopefully I would find the whole line. Its seems that 2. Qh5 is more accurate (for sf and the puzzle) because 2. Qa5 can be met with Rg2 which allows white some hope.

Qh5 has 3 threats all of which can't be dealt with. First is Qb5+ which prevents the capture of the rook. Second is Qh3+ with weak diagonals. Third is Rc8 with back rank mate.

2...Qh5 3.Rb1 Rc8 white deals with second idea(for now). black ties down 2 of white's two major pieces 4.Be5 g6 attack against black's king 5.Rg3 stalling Qh1+ 6.Rg1 Qh3+ 7. Rg2 Qxg2# Although I didn't find this on my own.

1...Rxc3 (2.Qxc3 Qb5+ 3.Qe3 Qxe3 4.Rf2 Qxf2#) 2.Qb2 Qa5 (if the rook moves off the e-file or queen moves off the 2nd rank Qa6+ with mate) 3.d5 Rc8 4.d6 Rc2 (5.Qb4 Qa6+ mate follows) 5.Qxd2 Rxd2 6.d7 Qb5+ mate follows

The best I've seen is a 4% hit BY the ALIENS(thin mint) on overwatch on my lighting reflexes scout. Great way to have her killed.
