My hat’s a tactical cap with hook-and-loop mounting points, where I change out various morale patches based on what I’m feeling that day.
(A lot of times it’s the X-COM “vigilo confido” patch haha.)
So does the hat choose my personality? Or does my personality choose the hat? Who’s to say. It’s flexible and open to change at least. :D
That sounds wicked! I should totally decorate my PC case with an emblem like that too! I’m still using that Corsair C70 that looks like an olive drab ammo box. :D
Awesome (and super spooky) chryssalid figure! I didn’t even know they made those. 😲 It definitely does the creature justice!
Now I wonder what other figures there are, but I realize at this point I’m probably better off making my own fan models to 3D print. XD
I don’t wanna know how old X-COM WoTC is. I always start it, make a bunch of progress, and then have to abandon it for like half a year at a time. One of these daaaays!!!
I gotta go back and try the classics too. There’s open source engines for them now! :D
Surprisingly, I haven’t been able to find much merch other than the chryssalids, but it’s so far after the fact now that yeah, custom stuff is basically the only way. The chryssalids are still on eBay for about 10 bucks.
I played Enemy Unknown, but most of my time over the past decade(?) has been WOTC. I would have the same pattern of sinking hours into it, then getting distracted, then restarting. Over the past few months, I’ve been really grinding out Legendary+Ironman and finally just beat it for the first time ever. It took dozens and dozens of attempts. I’m eager to go back and play the original stuff too. I have them on steam, but the UI seems like a challenge to get used to.
PS: I created an XCOM community here when I joined lemmy, but it never really took off. It’s probably too niche to have regular content with the size of lemmy. https://lemmy.world/c/xcom

I’m a big XCOM fan, and I love that you have a Vigilo Confido patch.
Right on! Just for you…
I’m on overwatch. 😉
Damn, that’s cool.
I have that Vigilo Confido as a sticker on my PC case, and I picked up one of these Chryssalids to live on a shelf above where I usually play.
❤️
