If you are literally not gay, don't click these

Yeah the new customization definitely makes this possible.

On your feet

Is buffposting the equivalent of late Long War era snekposting?

Basically, yeah.

Was snekposting a bad thing?

Some of it ventured into fetish posting

Sometimes it got a bit much, but we were way more active then so we could afford to be picky in what was "good" activity and "bad" activity.

These days any activity keeps us from getting catalogued for a while so I guess it's a good thing

But we finally lasted to bump limit, genuinely happy over that

Like enjoying alien snakes isn't fetishy in and of itself?

Yeah, long as it's game-related and not outright porn whatever keeps the thread bumped is fine.

>Like enjoying alien snakes isn't fetishy in and of itself?
Well the acceptable stuff stayed within the scope of what Firaxis actually put into the game. (A snake with tits).
The more "fetish" stuff featured sneks doing other stuff and being involved in other fetishes or was just straight pron.

Or low-tier fanfics about fetishizing snakes

Besides, sometimes there was just so MUCH snekposting that it became disruptive. Man, I remember /xcg/ back at X2 launch though. The ol' place was alive with the sound of music then.

We had Beagle as /ourguy/ and LnI to liven things up, storyposters competing for activity after X2 dropped, fucktons of discussion around Long War since it always had the depth to warrant having those discussions to begin with, and so on. It was good times.

Then there were the X-Piratezfriends, although they're one of the few constants. I feel we've always had 1-5 people playing X-Piratez at any given time. Starting to think it's been the same dudes this whole time.

I think we'll see all of the lost anons again save maybe for Beagle when X3 drops, but I might just be overly optimistic.

>I now remember Beagle's enthusiastic sneak peeks
>he said he loved the game back then

Maybe, just maybe, we'll get some t-shirt sleeves that don't mirror the arm tats when you throw 'em on.

>Starting to think it's been the same dudes this whole time.
Nah, I was the first, but I haven't been playing for a while now and I definitely see new people playing it from time to time, though there is one person who is very consistent.

>>Then there were the X-Piratezfriends3

I kind of wish there was more Org X-COM stuff going around like in the Pre-B12 day. That said, there will be more stuff going around once PP and Xenonauts 2 hit the place.

>>he said he loved the game back then

;_;

I enjoyed our XCOM Files posters. I really need to give it a shot myself sometime.

What if the commander is actually a defected ethereal?

No

If The Bureau is cannon then maybe it is.

Yeah, same, I just keep waiting for the mod to be a little more complete. But the guy who first posted and campaign posted about in the thread made it seem really comfy.

I like that rendition of the Outsider from XCOM EU, would love to have actually had that in The Bureau.

speaking of, Bureau ports when dammit?

Oh that was me, glad you guys enjoyed it. I did the posting for the the final PirateZ mission as well. And the fantasy football openxcom campaign.

So yeah, basically ran a campaign for a bit, commentated it with attached pictures, ran it on very easy to keep the roster alive. It was alot of work though for only Five! missions.

How long have you been around, Fubukiposter?

Okay no but seriously where is the new expansion

up your weewee

It's actually nothing.

Excuse me?

There are many steam DLC packages added to things that never amount to anything. Rome 2 Total War had something called Sandalwood added and it turned out to actually be nothing. It could be some internal development fuckery for all we know. It's best not to get your hopes up for something that is likely nothing.

No, user, Jake heard our prayers and is actually making a new expansion that will be officially announced at E3. This is, like, a confirmed fact. You'll see.

...

It'll be huge and fantastic and stuff and /xgc/ will be the liveliest thread on Veeky Forums, you'll see.

Stop it user, Stop!

>/xgc/
This will forever be my favorite meme.

XCOM 3 launch will bring back all our old friends and pistolposter will be back and we'll get along well with Beagle who will finish LnI and the magic of Long War will be recaptured and iterated upon and there'll be waifus for everyone

You'll see user!

>Beagle who will finish LnI
Who are you trying to fool?

But I am pistol poster...

Quite a lot before B12 hit us but all I really remember from those times is a more constant talk about Open X-COM.

You'll see user!

You'll see

;_;

Godspeed, pistolfag, you're alright.

Glad you're still with us man.

Speaking of our old memes, anyone remember BIG

BLOCKY

ARMOR

I was positively giddy at the time.

When did /xcg/ actually start? I came here a little before E3 2015 was announced. I found out about it from Veeky Forums.

Thanks user. I'm still here everyday and do alot of stuff, I just don't advertise it.

Of course

Friendly reminder to never forget

Big Sky died for our sins. They were the hero we needed but the ayys took them away from us. Damn you, ayys!

Big Sky isn't dead you hack! Has a name, no body, not dead.

X2 launch was good times

Of course.

Someone asked for them to write the Ben on right?

Who is this and what's the story here? I came to /xcg/ a little after X2 release, wasn't there on release day or anything.

Holy shit I made that specific edit, although a different user made the first one. Ages ago.

I do wonder what became of Cyclopsposter. He was good people.

A femanon came in asking for a mod to be uploaded for a pirated copy and offered tits in return, some user named Ben picked up on it

Jake's wife

Oh no.

That was definitely a bad idea. Oh well.

>I do wonder what became of Cyclopsposter. He was good people.
He got what he wanted and stopped cyclopsposting. One of the Star Wars alien mods was a cyclops.

>A femanon came in asking for a mod to be uploaded for a pirated copy and offered tits in return, some user named Ben picked up on it
Well, good job Ben. Also, femanons in /xcg/, more likely than you think, apparently. Makes me wonder about the demographics of the XCOM games: is it just dudes who play it or is there a strong female playerbase?

If I remember correctly, it xcg/ was not really that much of a thing after vanilla but then, after a few LW betas, a lot more interest got us into getting more into the game.

I really didn't show up until like b13, but the way I heard it that was when we really started gaining traction. Right in the middle of b15 and X2 launch is our peak in terms of activity but I'm not sure

Also, fuck me the poster feature is nifty but I do miss seeing screenshots of runs that weren't just photobooth close up shots.

...

>femanon and Ben
Based Ben, reminded me of that /v/ poster who faxed a Dota 2 key

kek who has a fax machine other than doctors and lawyers?

could be canadian or aussie, or just some dude who wants some old tech

Not really considering it's literally just one guy who has an obsession with the mod doing it.

enough with this stupid snekposting false equivalence

even if they were the same it's still cancer

cool

>getting this angry over an hours-old post

>wheredoyouthinkweare.poster

how does the age of a post impact its arguments?

It means you were looking for something to get upset about.

is this your first time in a /ded/ general?

Not so different from you constantly looking for opportunities to talk about your various fetishes.

Why are you ASSuming I'm a snek or bara poster?

I know it's you.

>it's you
How are you gentlemen?
All your base are belong to us.
You are on the way to destruction.

dont die on me now, xcg

I fucking hate aliens so much, God damn.

I was hoping to see actual dick, but I see nothing.

He's working on it. Adding genitals and making them look good is a difficult process.

What the fuck? I reinstalled windows and lost my character pool, saves still here, but character pool is gone.

Character pool doesn't go into the Steam cloud.

So I caved and gave the Engineer a ballistic shield because they deserve something other than dedicated grenades man. Now I'm trying to balance it.
It already restricts you to sidearms when you pull it out, but it also provides half-cover. But even mobile half-cover that you can fire from is pretty powerful, even if it's only sidearms.

WHY. WHO THOUGHT THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.
Now i need some help, i decided to restore my pre-wotc character pool and i need to know name of face mod i'm using on this screenshot
tried to find myself but i can't find any face mods at all

>play LW2 legend
>finish campaign but holy shit that was hard
>want more, decide to play rookie campaign for lols
>holy shit this is easy
>research and equip plasma
>advent is still deploying tier 1 troops with 4 hp, occasionally there's tier 2 officer with laughable 9 hp
>have 15 master sergeants by july
This is absolutely hilarious, I guess once you play highest difficulty in long war(applies to lw1 too) there is just no going back.

The looks like the hybrid head from repurposed gear. Hard to tell though.
