I just love #TurnBased #games so much more than anything else. Especially today, where everything feels fast, loud and overwhelming, I need games that actually give me time to #think.

With #RealTime you react, with #TurnBased you #plan. That is a huge difference. I sit there, analyse the #situation, think three moves ahead, and when my #strategy pays off, it feels genuinely rewarding.

On top of that: #TurnBasedGames are almost always more #complex and #deep. #XCOM, #BattleTech, #TacticsOgre, these games demand real #thinking. No muscle memory, no reflexes, just pure #strategy.

In a world full of #notifications, #stress and constant #overstimulation, this is almost like #meditation for me.

My #pace, my #decisions, my #game.

Anyone interested in a GOG-code for #XCOM Enemy Unknown + Enemy Within?

The relaunch of the XCOM series combines base building with simplified but challenging turn-based combat in an aliens-invade-earth-scenario. I really liked it.

#Gaming #Videogames

Recently decided to play some #games in my #steam backlog. I have been playing #xenonauts. I have never played #xcom so I had no context going in. It has been really fun. I have really been enjoying the tensions and the witty lore dumps that happen as you progress. It also runs very smoothly on the #steamDeck, tho it does need to be docked.

I wonder if I'm like the only person out there who back in the 90s loved X-Com: Terror from the deep?

A lot of people say it's just a lazy asset swap, which it in some places is, but I always found the underwater exploration more ominous and curious than the land based first games in the series. Naturally I've finished both several times.

I only learned that people had hated the second game when the current era X-Com remake came out and I wondered if they'd make a similar sequel to it as the original.

XCOM seems to be dead. Sad.

April 9, 2026: Played XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Recommended.

The core tactical gameplay is often thrilling but becomes relentless and repetitive after many hours. Way too long for the gameplay to remain interesting; would be perfect if the campaign was half as long.

"Keeping teams together doesn't seem to matter to people, but for us it did": Star Wars Zero Company's director on what the industry can learn from XCOM 2

In an industry that is facing wave after wave of layoffs, Greg Foertsch details how keeping the XCOM team together made for a better sequel.

🔥 Surprise! #Anthropic is torching dev goodwill like a pyromaniac at a haystack convention. Meanwhile, #JavaScript is so disabled on x.com, it's probably qualifying for parking privileges. 🤦‍♂️🚫

Hab ja Ostersonntag Zeit also hab ich OpenXCOM Multiplayer nun auch auf meinem Retro-Computer "installiert" und versucht ein Spiel via LAN zu erstellen mit dem Notebook und siehe da es funktioniert 😃💪. Einige Mods funktionieren auch im LAN Spiel, welche genau werde ich noch herausfinden.

Guten Morgen und wie geil ist das denn bitte! Es gibt für OpenXCOM zwei Multiplayer Mods, einen als "Hotseat" und einen LAN Mod per Netzwerk 😃. Den LAN Mod habe ich gleich mal auf dem Notebook fertig gemacht, werd den noch auf meinem Retro-Spielerechner reinfummeln und das dann demnächst mal ausprobieren. Bin ich gespannt und erfreut zu gleich 🙂.
