XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released 14 years ago today. I played this game a LOT until it was replaced in my heart by XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. 😁 Now please give me a real XCOM 3. Memories of nights spent fighting strategically against the Alien invaders while taking care of a baby with a flu.

For everyone across the bridge

A Mastodon Post by Yuuko Shirakawa that reads “The following is an excerpt from Weird Non-Fiction’s new column, Mind Slap! by Kyle Peterson, “University campuses throughout Dublin have been reporting sightings of tiny scarecrow like automatons for the last 3 weeks. These creatures are most frequently sighted between 11:00pm and 3:00am on or around the Trinity college campus. These automatons are usually seen dancing, preforming acrobatics, or sparring with other automatons before exploding. The remains of these automatons are then usually recovered by either another nearby group of automatons or mysterious group of masked students. The affiliation of these students is unknown but an anonymous source has told Weird Non-Fiction that these automatons may be affiliated with another character that has appeared at Trinity, a self-styled extraterrestrial wizard named Darth H8er, from the planet Fuckin A. Local experts in the occult have also noted similarities to the “Candy Witch” phenomena. Weird Non-Fiction reached out to Darth H8er for comment, he declined. When told that this silence could be construed as creating a hostile environment for normal students on campus, he replied “Don’t hate me cuz I’m mystical Wizard, maybe if you drop that yee-yee ass Harry Potter shit, you’d get some witches in your tower or better yet, one of them might ask you to come churn her cauldron instead of that rogue or barbarian she’s fuckin with, Wizzzaaard!” Mind slap will have more on this story as it continues to develop.””
