GI Joe and Cobra unite to face Advent? I like that idea, lots of characters to choose from. You plan on making a lot? I just looked at some of the characters, and I knew Sgt. Slaughter was a GI Joe because I watch the '86 movie like two dozen times, but I just found out that Roddy Piper was a member of Cobra. I wanted to add some more to my like 170 Game of Thrones characters pool, and I had a list of everyone I wanted to add and marked off who was complete but I can't seem to find the list now, but it was mostly just down to super minor characters anyway.

Graveyard Keeper is done! Now to finish Stardew Valley. To 100% that I need to do the following: - Get the Qi Quest for Radioactive Ore to finish the Shipping/Crafting - Beat Prairie King without dying - Kill 18 more Pepper Rex's - Start a new farm and do the Joja achievement - Earn 10 Million gold I'm at just over 6 million gold now, I'm going to set up a second shed for more Kegs/Jars to try and cut down the time by a couple of weeks. I have like 136 kegs going now with Starfruit or Ancient Fruit Wine, plus a couple dozen fairy honey houses and then some extra income from my animals other crops/jelly. I'm really tempted to get Rimworld, but I think I should finish Stardew first.

Prepare to both love it and hate it. Let me know if you need any advice. I think the biggest beginner tip is to set all your resistance members in your first area to Intel. This will make help you find missions faster so you can get more time to infiltrate and therefore have easier missions for a while. Try to always get to 100% infiltration if possible, unless you just cannot and the reward is worth it. Skip missions when you need to, there is no penalty and its impossible to even try to do them all.

Rimworld might be my next game to get and try out. However, I want to finish off Stardew/Graveyard Keeper first. So that way I am only playing my Xcom2 Long War campaign, the Monster Train DLC and one other game. I have somehow too much to do now. I also kind of want to give Factory Town another go since it's been updated and I think I can plan out my town better.

Vanilla Xcom2 can be pretty absurd. Long War gets ridiculous in very different ways. I just had 2 pods of enemy reinforcements spawn together, right in front of a building where I had about a dozen soldiers on/around on overwatch. It was a bloodbath. Then 2 turns later another dozen enemies spawns in and a horde of lost. Flamethrowers came in quite handy for once. The downside is getting back into Xcom has put my Stardew Valley/Graveyard Keeper 100%ing on the backburner. Hopefully I get some done this weekend.

Put together a third squad of slightly undertrained soldiers, Black Market recruits and sparks so they can take care of a mission so you can do the bases. You can probably win with just 2 squads if your A team is max rank you don't lose anything by training new soldiers and using 2-3 of your A team to babysit them until they rank up.

That would have made things a lot easier. I can start to get laser weapons now (tier 2 of 5) and I just got a my first Exo Suit so now I have a Shredder Gun.

I'm only starting to get upgraded weapons and I wanted to do this mission because I needed extra supplied but holy crap, what a enemy pod to run into turn 1. I'm actually glad I found them first so I could initiate on my term otherwise I would have had no chance since I could fire an upgraded rocket into the middle of the group and kill 1 unit, damage the rest and shred all the armour. I killed 5 of the 8 turn 1, the Berserker was stunned and the Shieldbearer was disoriented so I was pretty safe. I took more damage from the 8 man Advent Pod across the map because I couldn't get the jump on them like I did here.

The Archon King at least gives you amazing armour. I will gladly let you get wrecking in Long War, but its just nice to understand the mechanics so you don't do what I did that first time and send 8 rookies to fight like 30 advent in the first week, or have to scrap a campaign hours in because you have no money and you badly need to upgrade your equipment and you just figured out how the economy works. You'll also need like 60+ soldiers and will still have times you need to turn down a mission because not enough people are available.

Just let me know if you need some pointers/help. It took me a while to understand how some of the campaign concepts worked and how to use them properly. The infiltration system is probably the most important to understand, with the resistance bases being something that can make your life a lot better if you know how to use them. Plus, it is always good to know how to avoid getting absolutely wrecked in missions that you will not be ready for the first time.

Xcom 2 Long War gets pretty wild out of nowhere, I just had two missions against 27 enemies in a row and I'm only starting to upgrade my gear. Thankfully I got pretty lucky with one of the missions and the other I was able to freeze 5 units at once to make a 9 advent squad actually manageable.

It's a rather big change. The main thing I wish I knew the first time I tried was that missions are skippable, you will have way more than enough to do so if a mission is going to be hard, or you are understaffed then it is better to just not do it and wait for something better to pop up. Also figuring out how Infiltration so you don't end up with 8 rookies vs 40 enemies in the first month of the game.

I highly recommend Long War of the Chosen. It's obviously a lot longer and harder but there are new classes, the need to have dozens of soldiers ready at all times because you will be doing multiple missions at a time. The story is not just hold off the avatar project, but you actually take over regions and Advent tries to take them back so it feels like more of a fight. You also use more soldiers per missions so fights are bigger and more chaotic. I think it's a lot more fun.

I watched that new Russell Crowe movie, Unhinged. It seemed like a modern day Duel from the previews. Legit one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.

Are Black Widow, Shang Chi and Eternals going to be one offs or are they dumping a whole season in a day? Either way, I get the model, make people pay for Disney+ year round and I do kind of prefer the wait because it builds anticipation. Some shows are better with the dump and binge method, some are better weekly, like I would hate something like Archer being released once per week.

I just started it and I'm not fully sure what show is being spoofed this episode.

My Farm in Stardew Valley has hit its money making stride and I'm making over 400k a week. I still have a bunch of stuff to do and I'll probably eventually start a temporary new farm just to get the Joja achievment.

The Assassin in by far the worst of the three, especially if you have her early on so you don't have great equipment to face her.

I finally went to Long War 2 instead of using like 200 mods. Maybe I'll play that today... thanks for the idea.

I'm like 60 seconds in and my first thought was "are they doing Malcolm in the Middle!?!?!?"

Schitt's Creek is a good show that has some really amazing moments and I think Alexis is an amazing character. I completely understand why it cleaned up at the Emmy's after that final season.

I have to raise $4.5 million for the obelisks/Pam's House. My Greenhouse is now fill of ancient fruit and I have a shed full of kegs so I'm about to start making a ton of money will I work on the Ginger Island stuff and try to get the last few artifacts I need. I think the cooking is going to take me the longest because I didn't know about Queen of the Sauce until midway through year 2, so I am playing catch up with the re-runs to get them all.

I just kept giving Shane beer because he loved them and then he tried to jump off a cliff and I felt like a complete ass.... then I kept giving him beer to get to max friendship like the monster I am.
