To a point. Moving shifts the seed (I think), and even if you can't do that, you can always take a shot you had no chance at to get another shot with who you really want to hit. Even if everyone's single-moved, if you miss a 90% shot, you can reload, take a 23% shot with someone else to eat that miss, and then give the 90% guy another shot at the RNG. If you were particularly persistent you could map out the minimum accuracy needed for each shot that turn and use it to get the maximum number of hits. It would be horribly boring to play that way, though.

Reloading a save to take the exact same shot over and over again without varying action order is just an exercise in futility, though.

That raises an interesting question, I think: Can you TAS this game? Has anyone tried to?

Jade, any chance that you and Guava do a couple of multiplayer matches against one another? See whose school of thought - defense vs offense - wins when pitted against each other?

This occurred recently. Ask anyone in Seattle, and they will tell you it's defense.

I kinda want to run a just punching campaign, cheating in unlimited meld and refusing to use any other attack if there's an option.

'So I hope you did what I did and read that mission name incorrectly in your mind first.' I actually did. For some reason, I thought it said Operation Pretentious Truck. :downs:

Also, yay SHiV! Got two kills and an assist on the cyberdisk. And the Outsider took cover behind it, which is always amusing. The Outsider also did something weird physics-wise, too: immediately after the revealed cutscene, it fell flat on its rear end for no apparent reason, then got back up.

Lacking the MSPaint skills to commemorate the whole event, I've resorted to GIMP:

Isis is in purple, with superhuman powers, fighting aliens?

Simple question.

Agreed. In addition, Delgado is French right? I say "La Bombe."

Wait, SHIVs have special animations for door kicks and window smashes? What sort?

I thought a Waddle Dee just pops out and bonks the door open with their face. Or is that just our LP's shiv?

Neither of us used the sniper overwatch bug on the next two videos currently processing, if that helps.

I'm working my way up to another try at completing this absurd game, mostly thanks to all the solid advice in these videos.

It's not quite as motivating as having Jade's dulcet tones reading X-Com official novels to me over Skype while I gently caress up base building but it's definitely a close second.

I had a thought that might be either great or terrible: on the next exalt mission, jade sends you and guava the video without telling you what happens, and you two commentate on it.

You should keep the surviving base security on staff somehow. Give them the base defenders medal of conspicuous unexpected usefulness.

Tony was the only one who 'died' through the whole run. Do you know how many things are gonna get named after that guy?

A country. An entire country will be named after him.
