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
