Huh. Weird. I only play devil's advocate bc i have never seen that glitch. If you use enter key to do it then it could have flashed by but maybe that is a glitch.

Sticky keyboard causing doubleclicks?

Simple solution: don't play Ironman. Fuck Ironman. Play the game the way you'd enjoy it the most, balance challenge with fun. I don't want to play Ironman and I find myself savescumming sometimes just because I don't want to get screwed over for glitches or (as I think in your case it wasn't a...

Would anyone like a Faceless smoothie with that? It's 100% organic and low-cal!

Did ya know that snakes can sense vibrations in the ground? It's why a rattlesnake knows you're there before you know they are. Well, Vipers will have that in LoE. Increased detection radii! And potentially being on a middle ground alerted status if they sense something but don't see us.

Ahh, I have yet to experience the ultimate scouting glitch.

X-COM: A Story of Despair: Epilogue “Indonesia. Eighty-seven percent lost.” The Overseer sighed. “Australia. Ninety-three percent lost. America. Seven percent. Dammit.” He scrunched up the paper, unwilling to go further. He’d already seen the numbers, after all. Every time he went back through...

X-COM: A Story No More Chapter 5: The End? Part Irrelevant X-COM HQ Ruins June 16th, 2018 0100 Hours There was only a dim light amidst the darkness, maintained by a small fire in the palm of the hand of an Inuit man. More than a day had now passed, and the twenty-four survivors buried behind a...

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 4: Final Stand Part 6 As Joseph reloaded the gun and they fell back closer to the room of choice it appeared they weren’t being given a moment to breathe. In their way was a Cyberdisc that unfolded with the reassurance of five drones around it and two flanking...

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 4: Final Stand Part 5 X-COM Headquarters June 14th, 2018 2300 Hours Commander Ross Jones stood before the hologlobe with his chiefs of staff nearby along with a few other members of importance. There was Central Officer William Bradford, Dr. Raymond Shen with...

Prepare yourselves for the final edition of "Story of Despair". After that it's the 20 years leading up to the present condensed into under 20 posts (I think that's how long it'll be once we finish anyway), and then the story will be ready to start once intros are finished.

"Hmm, maybe I'll give Chris's LP a chance." *Fifth mission in.* R.I.P. Frosty dumpy hopped onto a wall...

Awesome! Don't forget your character intros of course but I look forward to reading that.

Bear in mind something for when I show off the enemy profile page (sometime before the first mission): ADVENT guns aren't laughably weak compared to conventional ballistics. They actually do enough damage to oneshot an XCOM operative in Tac Armor without Nanoscale Plating. Word of advice, use...

Fact of the day: ADVENT doesn't use camo. They tend to, as Tygan points out, enploy heavy security rather than subterfuge. And when you have mag weapons you can kind of afford to just smash resistance outposts when you find them rather than have to be all sneeki breeki like we do.

Chapter 4 of "Story of Despair" is almost all action. Here's the first mission, the Indian Base Assault Redux.

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 4: Final Stand Part 4 Desmond happened to dodge an attack from one of the aliens in front of him, which caused his teammate’s shot to break the side of his helmet, just barely missing his head and Desmond whirled around in half shock. “Damn it Kevin, you...

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 4: Final Stand Part 3 “Of course.” Desmond said, rubbing her arm as he moved on with the rest of the squad. The next room they came to was one that was hidden behind a pair of heavy blast doors that when opened revealed a large, but still fairly small for the...

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 4: Final Stand Part 2 “Not like we needed another example of how callous the aliens are,” Atka noted, glancing over the smoking ashes of the enemy, all of them blown up prematurely, intentionally, or via the aliens’ deadman’s triggers. Shaking her head, she...
