    I like the Firaxis XCOM games because I can actually win.

    However, the fact I do win also disappoints me. The originals have an unbeatable sense of hopelessness that if I do ever win, it will feel so much better. Kind of the same with Nethack. I’ve played easier roguelikes and won; but I have never beaten Nethack without cheating. If I ever manage to beat that legit, I’d absolutely lose my mind with feel good brain juice.

      That’s impressive. I still haven’t been able to beat legendary ironman on XCOM 2.

      I’d like to get into the old ones, but the UI is really dated and I’m having trouble figuring out what I need to do. Maybe I need to watch a short video or something.
