if it wasn't for the mansion? I am bad at words unless I'm talking shit

@miramiraotw
if it weren't for the mansion I think I'd have stuck it out for sure. I like xcom enough to trust that this all goes somewhere eventually, and I think I could handle the tone in smaller doses, but it's so fuckin extra

I like wotc a lot in spite of it basically being unrecognizable as an x-com (like, ufo defense) thing. it feels well aligned with what firaxis had been linearly building toward and while I don't exactly love the hero stuff or the deluge of menus or supervillain monologues it's a massive update that almost feels closer to a companion piece to vanilla xcom 2 than anything else. I never finished it cos I got around to it late, but I think of it pretty fondly when I look at it as it's own weird thing

lmao, these things happen. fuck em!! (but also someone please make an "oops all combat" mod so I can enjoy this one day)

totally, it takes a team to make something like dmc and you can't really wipe your hands of that by ignoring it. whatever distrust they get's more than fair, I'm just either naive or sentimental enough to believe hellblade came from a well intentioned place even if it was a place within a developer that's proven to be pretty rotten otherwise

shame about the shimmies, but I bet they look fabulous
