Completed #XCOMChimeraSquad today after a total of 20 hours playtime. Played it on Story difficulty as I still suck at tactics games.
Y'know, I thought it was alright. Sure, not as good as XCOM 2, but not bad for a spin-off title. It's like a weird mini XCOM 2, with a slightly different play style.

We should tell him to sit and spin.
Trump announced new tariffs on eight countries, saying the US will impose a 10% duty on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland starting Feb 1, 2026. The rate would rise to 25% by June unless a “deal” is reached for the “purchase of Greenland.”

Just came back from checking out the #NintendoSwitch2 Edition of #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons, and I'm so damn glad that crafting now takes ingredients from your home's storage AND you can craft multiples of the same item in one go.
Hotel seems cool, even if it is the DLC all over again.

Here is my #NintendoYearInReview. Yeah, I didn't really play a lot on my Switch 2 in 2025, despite getting it day one. I'm hoping to play a bit more in 2026, but that all depends on how busy I become. #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitch2

If there's one thing I'll never understand, it's the encouragement of fighting in ice hockey.
"B-B-But, it's part of the culture."
Doesn't make it any less dumb. Surely, if you want to fight or see people fight, you'd go watch/participate in ACTUAL combat sports? Boxing is right there, dummies.

I doubt they are. And Twitter is currently a containment site. I'd dread to think what would happen if all those UK Twitter users decide to flock to other places.

Spent like the past few months slowly chipping away at a PS2 game called #AirforceDeltaStrike. Never really played any of these air combat sim games, and I heard this was a decent clone of the Ace Combat series that's somehow even more anime.
It's alright, actually.

I built him. He is 6 foot tall. He is named Erick Snowan, after Erick Rowan. He shall stand when all else have perished.
Oh boy, it sure is snowing out there. Finally, the time has come once again to build a bulky snowman and name it after a WWE wrestler. I've already done Big Snow and Braun Snowman. Maybe I'll go with Snowen Hart? Or Snowman Reigns?

Bah, my #Retroid #RetroidPocket 4Pro has somehow developed a crack and the backplate is a little loose because of it. I don't know if it is the battery bloating. I hope not, as I've only had this thing since Christmas 2024. That's only a year, and I haven't used it THAT much.

I see that some accounts on Twitter are seething because their dating site was deleted.

I ended up quitting that silly XCOM 2 modded game. Every mission was leading to a squad-wipe. Turns out, too many raider factions leads to just more guns shooting at you, rather than at each other, and a lot of these raider factions are OP.
Oh lord, I am suffering in this new game. I am losing so many XCOM soldiers. Easily one on every mission. I may have gone too far in a few places with how many bad guys I'm fighting, and deciding to play on Veteran.
Also, my luck is so bad. I've missed so many 75%+ shots. It's actually a curse.

Been playing a bit more #XCOM2 now that I beat the game for the first time recently, but this new game I started has like 200 mods. I put so many different factions into this bad boy.
It's a little painful, though. I'm playing on Veteran Ironman, and I'm losing so many soldiers. It's insane.

I see the Americans are back to their usual ways, i.e. making a mess of South/Central American affairs. Worked out so well like 50 years ago, didn't it?

They really spent the last like 40 minutes of #StrangerThings doing an epilogue. Well, I'm glad it's over. Should've really stopped it after they originally killed Vecna.

I finally beat #XCOM2 with the War of the Chosen DLC for the first time after like 61 hours. I played on Rookie difficulty, as I suck at strategy games, but I still had a lot of fun. I took my sweet time beating it, as I wanted to make contact with all regions and get OP units for the final mission.

They just had to stretch out Stranger Things that little bit more by making us wait until January 1st for the finale, huh?

Here is my 2025 #Steam Year in Review for anyone that cares. I have definitely played less on Steam this year, although I've still played 7 new games, which is the same as last year.
Still in the middle of playing XCOM 2, but not featured was how I finished the Classic Marathon series this year.
