    Taking the edge off.

    Missing a 95% chance shot in Xcom and subsequently having your whole party wiped out by aliens

    Pick one

      Ayyyyy, if a missed 95% shot fucks things over that bad then you probably weren’t handling the situation that well in the first place!

        Hah, you can try to stay on top of it. But no matter how hard you try, there’s always a chance of that one little mistake that turns into a cock-up cascade and leaves most of your squad dead and one remaining soldier trying to crawl to evac.

        I love that game, but I’m probably a masochist.

          Look, it’s alien invasion simulator not friendly fun-time simulator, sometimes everything goes to shit and you need to roll with that!

          i exclusively play xcom on ironman because i tend to reload on the tiniest misstep - and then i get annoyed about myself, because i cant accept anything else than perfect. ironman fixes that for me :-)
