Xcom: Enemy Within, Long War mod. Firaxis made a masterpiece of a series with Xcom and Xcom 2, and I’m finally delving into the Long War mod made by Pavonis Interactive, and it just adds so much refinement to the game.
And I’m working on finally getting save scumming out of my system, once and for all lol. Its long past time I stopped being a scrub and got good.
I remember playing them as crazy as a kid, the first had a extremely 90s UI, and the mini map was just a normal map scanned in and then zoomed and scrolled as you drove around.
The second one had better maps, but still weird bugs, you could drive up the side of a building and accellerate, when on the roof you would drive out in the air and just park floating next to the building.
It could be, maybe, just maybe, and here me out here, that the comic is not the absolute, actual depiction of one’s day to the second, just a generalism to get through the point. Which can be done through not too dense heads which are able to do a bit of imagination and not taking a comic literally. Geez.
A Steam Deck helps! I can lay in bed after the kid is asleep and knock out a half hour/hour session before sleep. Let’s not talk about the advisability of using devices in bed…
I used to make time for gaming with my friends every day by sacrificing my sleep. I only realized how much it messed with my health once I started getting a full 8 hours of sleep. Now I mostly play during the weekends.
Try getting old. I used to want 9 or so. These days, I seem to just wake up after about 7 hours. I don’t really use an alarm anymore. I just get up when I am awake and know that getting back to sleep isn’t going to happen. Even nights after a good workout, I pop awake after about 6 1/2 to 7 hours. Never used to be this way. But, I just seem to need less these days.
There was a lot of custom modded vehicles for a Midtown Madness 2 and I loved digitally hoarding them and trying them all out as a kid. There was one modded vehicle that was an 18 wheeler tractor that had its speed adjusted to be totally borked fast (not just “that’s cheating” fast, more like “I’m not sure the game engine can handle this” fast). You would hold forward on the truck for a second or two and then let go and then you would zoom forward and get launched half way across the map. Some of my formative experiences in life with the world of janky mods that do hilarious stuff.
heck no but I just googled it and check this out there is still a midtown madness mod file website! its got tons of cars and levels www.mm2x.com pretty cool people take the time to preserve this stuff and keep it up
