Today, though, nostalgia kind of sucks. Actually, it’s excruciating like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I remember UFO as a tactical RPG that’s a hybrid between an turn-based and real-time strategy game. Instead of waiting for a turn or moving as things happen, you move according to a timer. On first experience, it seemed neat.
The problem is, every time I mean to do something, I get interrupted. Usually, it’s from an enemy appearing. This would be fine except, every time a new enemy appears, UFO decides to give me a 360 degree view of the enemy because they apparently want to impress me with their character models.
I guess for 2003, they’re impressive. But here in 2024, it takes me out of the flow of the game. It’s so annoying that if I had a physical copy of UFO: Aftermath, I’d take it out into my backyard and shoot it myself. That’s how frustrating that is.
The other annoyance is that when I’m at the mission screen, I keep being pinged about new missions when I’m on my way to my current one. And apparently, I can’t just accept a mission. No, I have to travel there. And as I’m travelling, I keep getting nagged and nagged again that there’s aliens that have popped up somewhere on Earth.
Back in 2016 – when I first bought it – I used to like this game. It was unique and quirky to me. Today, I think this is one of those games that I’d like to forget.
I want a script that expands the threads of a Twitter post, in the form of a tree, because it's much easier to read this way, you don't have to click, expand, go back, all on separate subpages....

Our newly-released stealth & squad tactics heist RPG. If you like games like Invisible Inc, XCOM 2, Shadowrun or other tactical RPGs, I think you'll find this worth a look. We just started Early Access last month, but the game is very playable and we've already made over 20 updates adding new content and improvements.
Kudos to IBM's reaction after #ElonMusk endorsed even more antisemitic content on X
"In a statement, IBM said it “has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination, and we have immediately suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation.”

It makes me wonder that #Apple is still advertising on X.
Why is Apple still supporting this platform? I always had the impression that Apple is dedicated to diversity and equality.
But X.com is clearly not standing for these values.
