Just discovered #Showgunners, a turn-based #tactics #game set in a dystopian reality show where killing is entertainment. It’s like #XCOM meets The Running Man, with live commentary, deadly traps, and a thirst for fame.

You fight through brutal arenas as a contestant, facing enemies, environmental hazards, and sudden twists. Combat is punchy and fast-paced, with strong visual flair and a slick sense of showmanship.

What caught my attention? The mix of classic tactical gameplay with a satirical media-circus vibe. It’s stylish, violent, and surprisingly smart.

Definitely worth a look if you're into tactical #games with personality.

Gestern Abend mit einem Freund UFO - Enemy Unknown gezockt in der OpenXCOM Version.

War mal wieder ein schöner Abend gewesen aber nicht das Spiel was ich dachte da wir bei Multiplayer Spielen eben noch laufende Missionen bei Master of Orion 2 und Siedler IV haben 😁 aber UFO ist auch gut.

Things I enjoyed about Chimera Squad:
👾 Shorter missions and more granular saves - I have less time now than I used to, but I can still play full missions. The shortness can still be balanced out with difficulty.
👾 Less realistic graphical style - I liked the visuals of the previous installments, but I was amazed by this style. This episode also had higher performance than XCOM 2 and required less space.
👾 Characters you can get to know and remember - I like games with small optional dialogue scenes. My favorite characters were Verge the sectoid gentleman and Patchwork the curious drone pilot.
👾 Mixed turn order - It's similar to Final Fantasy X's battle system. It added a new puzzle layer I liked.
👾 Diversity - The team is open to everyone and only skills matter. Aliens, hybrids, humans, men, women, people of color, people with disabilities, and people with different life traumas all work together to make their city a better place to live. I really enjoyed that. If there's any way for the world to heal after the events of XCOM 2, this is it.

Heute im laufe des Tages (zwischendurch) die beiden aktuellen Versionen von OpenXCOM (normal & extended) auf meinen Retro Spiele Compi installiert. Die werden am Donnerstag Abend genauer begutachtet und gespielt bzw. angespielt 😃.

Playing #XCOM2, I am once again lamenting the absence of a real-time recap at the end of turn-by-turn tactical skirmishes showing how short the actual action was compared to how long it took to plot it. Similar to the Civilization game end recap showing the growing and shrinking of each civilization’s influence over the ages in a rapid fashion

Wow, the “temporary” security control between 🇭🇰&🇲🇴is straight out of #XCom. Run by grumpy mainland-Chinese immigration in a dystopian temporary compound halfway across the bridge. #Macao’s 25th anniversary of the “return to the motherland “ is coming up, and authorities seem afraid. CTM SIM-card vending machine was also in-op for the occasion. Let’s see if I can find one in the city tomorrow.

Some local coverage in English: macaonews.org/news/city/macau-

tl;dr : Kann ich alte Steamspiele auf MicroSD Karte von unterschiedlichen Steam-Clients bespielen?

Seit einiger Zeit spiele ich ältere Spiele auf dem Steamdeck oder am PC. So habe ich zum Beispiel #xcom bei Steam gekauft und auf dem Steamdeck und auf meinem Manjaro-PC am laufen.
Je nachdem sitze ich ne Session am Sofa mit Steamdeck oder am Schreibtisch mit PC. Es wurmt mich, dass ich nicht den gleichen Spielstand habe.
Neuere Spiele unterstützen Cloud-Spielstände. Kann man bestimmt einbauen, aber mein Plan war es auf die MicroSD Karte zu schieben. Kann es am PC aber nicht sehen oder hinzufügen.
Wie löst ihr das?
