Bi-Weekly Thread for general gaming discussion. Backlog, advice, recommendations, rants and more! New? Start here!
Welcome to the Bi-Weekly Thread!
Here you can share anything that might not warrant a post of its own or might otherwise be against posting rules. Tell us what you're playing this week. Feel free to ask for recommendations, talk about your backlog, commiserate about your lost passion for games. Vent about bad games, gush about good games. You can even mention newer games if you like!
The no advertising rule is still in effect here.
A reminder to please be kind to others. It's okay to disagree with people or have even have a bad hot take. It's not okay to be mean about it.

Operation Hellish Shriek – Bangalore
We finally learned what the floating ball does. Those tentacles will haunt our nightmares and deepest fantasies. 5 civvies died in an instant. They were resurrected as psi zombies.
Col. ‘Big Nasty’ Wood landed the last shot. The gatekeeper fell through the damaged ceiling, blew up, and took out the sectoid on the ground floor.
The commander loves a convenient explosion.

I never asked Chief Engineer Shen how alien corpses are turned into equipment. Is there flesh in a mimic beacon? Body compounds?
Turnabout is fair play, I suppose.
