The constant need to make time-pressured decisions with imperfect information and no ability to save-load your mistakes gives it a real ironman #XCOM vibe, and I feel the same desperate need to rescue a run when things start going awry.

And again, this is a city builder. It’s crazy and unique and I had a great time with it.

#2K has currently a winter sale, which includes big discounts for #Civ4 , #Civ5 , #Civ:BE , #Civ6 and #Civ7 ! This also includes the Civ7 DLCs (besides Tides Of Power, which is currently free).

For people who already have all the civ games, there are also discounts for #Marvel #MidnightSuns, as well as #XCOM 1 and 2 (among other, less interesting games ;) ).

The sale runs until January 5, check it out here https://store.steampowered.com/developer/2K/sale/2kwintersale2025?tab=10 .

X-COM: Terror from the Deep was released 30 years ago, at some point in the first half of 1995.

Been playing a bunch of Open XCOM recently and decided to tweak the speed of how soldiers and civilians move, and now the humans run around like Mr. Frog

#SaudiArabia is a major source of misinformation in America seeing a crowned Saudi prince is the second largest stock holder in #X.Com & they pretty much own & heavily influence #Foxnews & they have A Prince that killed his family members based on twitter accounts www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Who’s advertising on Twitter? ...

There are two ways to complete the Newfoundland mission in #XCOM.

You can do as Bradford says: set the radio beacon and run like hell from the pursuing swarm of angry giant alien bugs.

Or you can line up on the upper deck of the fishing boat, shoot *all* of the aliens from up there, and *then* set the beacon and leave.

Believe it or not, the latter is the easy way to complete the mission. Bugs can't shoot back.
