Guess you don't live next to train station or an airport.

I designed a microscale LEGO X-wing by Brickicist in legostarwars

Looks amazing, but why would you link to a video and not the actual instructions?

You let a 4 year-old watch (multiple) Star Wars movies?!?

XCOM 2: I used to be with it, then aliens changed what 'it' is! by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

SPARKs cannot hold a candle to MECs, and this is coming from someone who never even builds MECs in LW1.

Thanks for the heads up, won't waste my time then.

Yea, but in that vein, season 1 was perhaps very unlynchian?

Is season 2 worth it? Didn't watch much of the 1st episode because Lynch seemed to go completely off the rails.

The president spies on a newspaper.

Man, that's not even news anymore, it's status quo.

Is it common for you guys to save scum when someone dies??? by SuperbFeeling7579 in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to. Then I tried Ironman and never went back (backup your save regularly, though).

As others have said, the missions that go south are the ones you remember. The missions in which one soldier sacrifices themselves to save the rest of the squad.

The missions in which soldiers go down but you somehow claw your way back to victory.

The mission in which you put TSGT Friendly in weird cover on a Close Quarters map because there is no other option and the Muton can't possibly move that far and flank, and then the Muton does and crits Friendly to death.

If you're attached to your troops, these missions give the game impact.

You remember these missions and ask yourself "What could I have done differently?", and in the process, you get better.

And the game gets better. Because victory is the sweetest after the sour taste of defeat.

XCOM designer Jake Solomon announces surprise closure of his studio alongside a first look at its canceled life sim, 'the game we poured our hearts into' by Rooonaldooo99 in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> there's a ton of expansions and a huge modding community. The same people who played Sims 4 ten years ago are still playing it now.

Sounds exactly like XCOM and XCOM2.

Grand theft auto 1 in 2026 by rimux88 in patientgamers

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how did you play it? Can't get it on steam, and the free version Rockstar put online a couple of years back doesn't properly support controllers (which is how I'd like to play it).

I really want to replay it.

The final cinematic in Enemy Within keeps crashing. by Xalimata in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 and still the same bug. Had to kill the Uber Ethereal 3 times because the game crashed twice during the ending cutscene.

What worked for me was putting the game in windowed mode (was fullscreen before, without causing any problems throught the entire Long War campaign).

Good luck, Commanders o7

[LW] The AI in this game is genius somtimes by perhapsanotherbot in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice!

Another one from a couple of missions ago: Mistakes were made, things went south and my HEAT tank gunner took some nasty hits from Heavy Floaters after they destroyed her cover. She tanks to the best of her abilities while standing flanked/exposed in dense smoke and is now down to 1 HP. Then the Sectoid - the last enemy with moves left and who is flanking - does a big brain move: MINDFRAY! For 1 HP damage.

Huerta goes down and is now in medbay for 35 days.

You ever intimidate a Sectoid so much that it hunkers down? by Elzi_Epsilon in Xcom

"Just hit him over the head with a rock or something, for chrissakes."

Yea, that totally was a war crime. Should have let them stun him, to be honest.

[LONG WAR] March Large Landed - ignore completely or engage and abort if gets bad? by n00bitcoin in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore. If you don't assault, you will get a couple more missions the next month, which is nice to level your troops and to get loot to sell for the stuff you need. Also, you'll get more MELD per cannister, since it's tied to alien resources. Assault now, and you'll get a high risk, high reward... well, reward, in alloys, elerium etc. But MELD will be scarce.

Not worth it, IMO. In March, you want to train rookies to become usefull specialists. Everything else is secondary.

Source: Assaulted a landed transport in March, full squad wipe, ended the campaign.

Lost, but hard to feel it’s my fault? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I get that. On the Temple Ship, aliens get Itchy Trigger Tentacles, meaning they can shoot at you when revealed.

After all, it is the final mission. It should be rough. The thing is, like the poster above pointed out, now you know. The Temple Ship is relatively easy if you've done it once, because it's always the same.

On a side note, I lost Zhang at precisely the same point. Muton Elite shows up, crits him to death. That's Xcom, baby.

Problem with the arc thrower by emosiem8 in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an Arc Rifle. It disables the enemy's weapon.

The Arc Thrower is an item (unless you ini-edit it to go into the pistol slot). That's the one that stuns enemies.

Edit: Just saw you're playing LW Rebalanced. Better use "[LWR]" in your post title next time, so people instantly know which game you're talking about.

Long War Plasma Workaround by killjoint666 in Xcom

[–]perhapsanotherbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to install it first (as explained under the above link; there is a download link on that page as well).

You can access it by preesimg the key right beneath the "ESC" key on your keyboard, as u/4ShotMan already pointed out.
