Much as I dig the newer Chaos Gate; Original is still an uncontested vibe; it just hits different, even now. Aesthetic, presentation, music; all have aged well imo.
The actual game itself... archaic by some peoples std's but classic XCOM has endured when so many others have faded for good reason.

End of the New DLC Season in #TheDivision2, Haven't played b/c the last 3 months have been much like the start of the year; /ROUGH/. Figured I'd crash thru the Pass & Seasonal content over the next few days.

Mistakes were immediately made.
Introducing, "Mr.Scrunkles".
He is ORANGE.
He Meows.

looking at Dogs for adoption was a terrible mistake.
I mean, just look at this idiot, "Tynamo".
He's perfect.

I've played ALOT of Crystal ROMhacks this past year & I gotta say, they've mostly been great.
Warts an'all.

The mechanics & aesthetic of the older games holds up, esp with some more modern touches and QOL changes. I.E. no need for a HM slave.
I've had a lot of fun with stuff like Coral Version esp.

It's been a stressful few days, sadly with a few more to come.
But I'm having at least a starting to have a little fun with the FishTank already.

My new Womier 60% keyboard is officially kicking my ass.
Not only does it weigh, a lot more than i'd expected, but the smaller form factor has cut keys I didn't really think about that I use everyday.

This is going to take SOME adjustment. Esp the lack of a DEL key & the tiny ENTER key.

Would have said either one of your lamentors pieces or Londo, but then you dropped this the other day.

I know m'not doing great, b/c Stuff like this is always VERY tempting when m'feelin a special kinda down. A "Project".

3d printed 54mm XV8 Battlesuit.

Not really intended for INQ54, but would make a WILD one off HVT or "GM Break Glass" encounter. Also, I'd get to have fun w/a cool big robit.
