Especially the original which included basically no documentation about how the fuck anything worked + bugs which would just cause you to lose inventory items or for weapons to not work the way you expected. Savescumming required. Still need to go back and actually beat that bastard.
xcom I think had a rogue like sensibility before they were big, when the expectation is failure and the game repeatedly throws almost no-win scenarios at you so that when you do magically pull off a miracle turn you feel like a tactics god and you remember how your rookie saved the day. xcom baby.

I keep hearing people ask,
so if you are truly wondering
what the secret
of people
who rarely get sick is,
I shall tell you:
the secret is not
to ask yourself
what you should do
to protect yourself,
no, the secret is
to ask yourself
what you should do
to protect everyone.

Hey folks,

I just had to renew my health insurance and I’ve got to pay my car registration this month—all while I’ve finally got the big move to a permanent new home underway. I could use about $300 so I don’t get overdrawn in a few days. See the post below if you can help. Many thanks.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The shutdown put incredible strain on so many families and dedicated civil servants, but at least it was all for fucking nothing.

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.
