“pattern noticing” is an antisemitic dog whistle about “noticing a pattern that all influential people are Jewish”. The wording of it resonates with neurodivergent people who don’t hear the dog whistle part so it’s been doing the rounds. Not your fault that conservatives ruin innocent phrases

I will say that new XCOM can be good at that too. It really is the most important part and I’m glad they didn’t leave it out of the remake!

OG XCOM has a really rough learning curve for sure. It is easy to understand the fundamentals of but it takes a lot longer to get it well enough to really enjoy. Once you do learn it I feel like it is different enough from new XCOM that you can enjoy both. I love new and old xcoms a ton.

I actually really like OG Dooms just as much as the new ones. I didn’t play either until just a few years ago so no nostalgia. They are very different and so I don’t feel like they step on each other’s toes too much.

Help! I’m being domesticated!
