    XCOM 2

    I caught a harvester ufo on the ground, and got me 4 more flight computers off it. I'm much happier now. Note- you need 12 alien surgeries and 12 stasis tubes for the 30% less healing time research (and thats a big-ass deal in Long War) so dont just sell 'em off. Edit 1- And now another...

    XCOM 2

    Oh you dog-diddling Hoosier whore! Turns out you also need 2 flight computers per satellite nexus to build the damn things too. I hate everybody. 8 power and 20 engineers too, btw, although that shouldnt be a problem by the time you've captured 6 comps. Bah. And I dont even have any flyable...

    Welcome. Still working towards my nexus tech. Another 2 days till the research is done, but I have the construction site ready for my first one, and what should be plenty of power (havent looked up how much it needs). Still probably 1-200 bucks short though, so not quite there yet. Now I'm...

    Grenades are your friend. I bombed the snot out of the first mission, and fortunately being the first mission (with tutorial off) you dont get a chance to dick with your troops loadout so all 6 of your guys have one, regardless of what you might normally carry. Sure you lose some weapon...

    Something that I didnt really pay attention to in the stress/aftermath of my month 1 supply ship till tonight - I got 4 intact flight computers out of that, which is what you need to research the satellite nexus, which should majorly accelerate your satellite coverage and be just generally...

    Apparently! I hadnt heard of the mod till this thread. I went and got the mod. I started playing the mod on classic difficulty based in Canada, because why not, eh? On my fourth fucking mission I had a large cargo ufo fly over Canada, waltz through 3 of my 4 planes and just ignore/avoid the...

    Can of Diet Coke

    I've gotten cans before on a plane. It might be that they cant give them to first class because just going "here's a can" isnt seen as very classy. Or it might be that the stewards have to open them to prevent foaming incidents from clutzy or stupid passengers.

    There's a difference between not going out of your way to mention that gay is involved somewhere in the transaction, which might be reasonable, and having to curtail your options to hide the fact. Forinstance going to buy a birthday cake for your straight friend Carol and telling the baker...

Consider- if this season does what many seasons have done and votes out strength then int challenges play to the people who are left and...
