Technically, but I'll maintain my own headcanon on that one. :) There's nothing in XCOM 2 that is really contradictory to the loss having occurred after you "win" in XCOM.

Still undecided. Reviews seem cautiously optimistic, but not to a "this is so much better than The Outer Worlds" extent, and I'd want it to be definitely better if I'm going to dedicate time and money to it.

Oh, I still enjoy XCOM, and when I really get the mood for it I'll start with that one. It's just that I know I'll then want to dive into XCOM 2 afterwards, so it's a longer commitment.

I've been playing Elite Dangerous for a couple of months, and am the same way when it comes to the game's Engineering system. Yes, there's lots to tweak, but it's so much grinding to unlock initially (seriously, at one point I was doing tasks to unlock the engineer who'd let me unlock the...

Honestly, no idea. I got through to some form of main-plot conclusion back when it first came out, but it was all very metaphysical and as I understand it there are a few different endings. For the few hours I've played so far (a bit of tutorialised exploring and base building on one planet...

So far, the only thing that's tried to kill me is the weather.

I've decided to give No Man's Sky another try for the first time in years. Appropriately for the season, my starting location is the planet of the pumpkins.

One thing I did appreciate in Mass Effect Andromeda was the broader engagement ranges resulting from the more open-world design, making sniping viable with both weapons and powers.

Indeed, to me Back to the Future is the perfect top-tier trilogy. The first one stands alone as a great time travel story while leaving the door open to sequels, the second is a little weak pacing-wise during the future section but does a masterful job of weaving its plot into the original...

Isekai in general could do with being a little more rare. And more well done, for that matter.

Yeah, the Maquis were ultimately just one plot thread too many for the writers, which is a shame, because a lot of the themes involved with them were ones that the show liked to explore. But with the tides of multiple conflicts sweeping across the region, it was tough to keep them relevant...

A common pitfall / feature of the Let's Play genre. A recent / ongoing series on Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning got me re-playing that one for awhile, and I got quite into it, going through around 4-5 of the main regions. Unfortunately the game is not without stability issues, and a persistent...

The full word is "Adventure", but for a moment I thought "Seriously, they're doing advent calendars for Halloween now?"

I do enjoy the scenes of the Defiant being flown like it's the Millennium Falcon. An example of the better ways that the mirror universe setting allows them to cut loose.

Well, it's not southern hemisphere, but it's definitely "Christmas, but summery".

Add engineer Enrique Muniz somewhere in that large gap. Sadly RIP as a designated redshirt, but they really built up his rapport with O'Brien in that one episode.

There's also the factor that Molly, as a child actor(s?), is around even less than Keiko, and almost never without her, which kind-of gives the impression that Keiko is doing somewhere around 90% of the child-rearing, with Miles only occasionally involved.

An unfortunate result of multiple factors in the show's production. As a recurring character she tends to show up only in Miles-centric episodes, and since the standard procedure for such episodes is "O'Brien must suffer" it tends to not show a rosy portrayal of their relationship.
