I haven't played all the way through EW, but MECs are amazing. I love them very much. In EU my Sniper pairing was what it all about- get them in the sky and have them pinging enemies halfway across the map with squadsight when the sightlines were favorable.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Even if the interrogation isn't fatal, what else would they do with a live alien? Throw it in Gitmo for indefinite detention? Ain't no alien signed the Geneva Conventions, plus most of them have had their ability to make moral decisions surgically or genetically removed. My glee at discovering you murdered the crap out of your extraterrestrial detainees after torturing them for information makes me think that I'm going to be a hardcore Earth First zealot if we ever discover life from other planets for reals. Death to the alien!

2. Carapace Armor. We're getting to the point where an unlucky crit killing a member of our Amazon brigade would really hurt. 2. Foundry Weapon Development. SHIV SHIV SHIV! It's even better if they're tachikomas. I'm also a fan of anything that links back to the original xcom LP, it's one of the first I ever read and was a large part of the reason why I ended up on SA. Attack the Block for movie night. Nothing like some bruvs from the council flats wiping out an alien invasion on their own to show how badass humanity is. Plus, John Boyega by all rights should become a huge star, especially if the new Star Wars is good.

Speaking as an Alpha++ CisHet-kin SJW, there's a place for that stuff and based upon your past work I think you're a good enough writer and insightful enough to avoid making anything too cringeworthy.

Tomn posted:It occurs to me that XCOM's legal department must be the unsung heroes of the Alien War, given how many legal hoops there must be to allow every single country in the world to grant access to an international strike force to blow the gently caress out of everything, anywhere, at any time. Speaking as someone who has worked (briefly) many, many fields adjacent to actual national security issues, my understanding is that the system can handle it. But yes, I'd imagine the redacted files could crush a person.

Jumpylegs would be the most fun, but I'd probably kill myself jumping over my apartment building when I land on my head. so regeneration it is!

Yeah, adrenal neurosympathy would be cool in a lot of ways... but if it also triggers off of other brain chemicals I don't want to make everyone around me deal with my depression. Well, more than they already do. And as I said, jumpylegs would be really awesome if I thought I had the dexterity to not kill myself while using it. If I missed the part where the mod gives you that incredibly precise level of muscle control sign me up and excuse me while I go relive my favorite parts of Assassin's Creed (running around on and climbing famous landmarks)Chard posted:I have to say I would choose bioelectric skin. Having an entirely new sense organ, plus electric-shock skin, would be pretty boss. I've been scuba diving a few times and it's awesome but you're so out of your element it's hard to appreciate everything. Being able to literally feel the life around you... that's the stuff of dreams. That's an extremely strong argument. Depending on how healthy the bone marrow regeneration makes you (it seems like extremely, considering the rate of regeneration) I might change my answer. Especially since the number of calories you have to eat for regeneration to be feasible would be insane.

In reality? We're probably not the only planet with intelligences in the universe. Will we ever meet any of them that we can comprehend? Not unless there's some loopholes to physics as we currently understand them. In this world? Same answer to the first part, but we'd be pretty likely to shoot first and make first contact later after the X-Com conflict.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:It often happens as soon as someone mentions it. That's the power of awareness, I suppose. I to this day regret complaining about people from the soccer forums voting my LP down. I went from a decently rated LP to way, way too high. I should be voted one as penance, but only after you vote this a five, because this is a damned good LP.

Yeah, as a routine you might want to try just not posting anything you feel the need to caveat with "you should probably ignore this." It might not come naturally, but it is the type of habit you can learn. Base defenses are awesome, they were one of my favorite parts of original X-Com.

Rumda posted:I know its a rare occurrence but you dont need to post every thouht that eners your mind. If they're on the spectrum it's not that simple. Heck, people who aren't on the spectrum can have a bad habit of not saying what comes into their head. But that's not in and of itself an excuse to just tack on an apology to stuff. Editing/filtering/censoring one's statements is learned behavior that might help prevent that sort of thing, in that it becomes a simple if/then question. "If I feel the need to put an apology on this because I think it might come off in a way I don't intend, then I should just delete the comment and move on." It may or may not help, I have no expertise in cognitive behavioral psych, but it might be worth trying if they really don't mean to offend.
