Can we get a tactical turn based zelda game? Please 🙏

Sketch:

This really wasn't mean to be anything more than a sketch but I had some time this evening and wanted to see how it would look.

Started this on June 11 2022, five minutes before midnight, inspired by Little Mix's "Salute" and its message of girl power of all creeds ("Get your killer heels, sneakers, pumps, or lace up your boots") Worked, and worked, abandoned, and now... March 5th, 2024 I have finished it. I feel accomplished, finally free and excited to share.

My biggest ambition was to have two versions: one of my Diane, my personal ideation of the Commander. Representing the strategic brains and power behind the entire resistance, my idea of the "killer heels" of the dynamic since I hc her to have many pairs. The other version was to be the female Avatar to present a placeholder for any one person's female Commander during the final battle (and to me, it's still Diane and calling back her roots as a Marine in her youth, a nod to "she's still got it.")

Everyone should be able to recognize Lily and her engineering genius, and of any front line soldier (my favorites here shown are Thérèse and Jane Kelly.)

If you're an X-COM head like me and/or in the mood to kill Nazis due to recent world events I can highly recommend Classified: France 44 👍

Some games need to know when they're over and not drag on forever tbh

SURPRISE! I AM NOW IN THE XCOM FANDOM

so far I've only played Enemy Unknown/Within, haven't got XCOM2 or Chimera Squad yet. But I do know that the aliens eventually start becoming allies to humans and tripped and now I have a Thin Man OC. she's very Gender

Having the alien designed for infiltration be the seventh of many subjects Strike One brought in meant the captor couldn't resist asking Dr. Vahlen to nickname her "Bond". Bond stuck with it after she turned to the humans' side, figuring it was as good a name as any, and slowly worked her way out of the "do what you're told and never deviate from the Elders' desires ever" mindset she had been living with. Once the wars are over she gets into Hollywood.

There's a more detailed version of the backstory I have for her but it requires explaining other OCs I have already lol I'll do that some other time. probably on main. I'll find out how well I understood what I read of XCOM2/CS when I get those games on sale

but the more rumpled-but-still-basically-standard Thin Man is her in XCOM EW/EM era after her capture, she doesn't get changed back into a Viper for XCOM2 since she's already gone to the humans' side by then, and her losing the suit entirely for a more casual one is once she's retired from military service and integrated into human society and the film industry.

[rollforrandom]

I know the "Canon" is that XCOM failed in the first 1-2 months of the invasion, but does anyone else feel that's not -quite- the case? Hear me out:

The ADVENT mechs look very similar in design to the MEC trooper from EW, minus the actual person in it. This could just be standard mech design/reused assets, but it makes sense if the Elders found that humans had made something useful with MELD, they would take it for their own purposes.

The ADVENT troopers use magnetic weapons, which while not fully Canon to EU/EW (the main one was the railgun for MEC troopers), are rather prominent in Long war, a mod that helped inspire aspects of XCOM 2 and whose development worked with/for the actual game studio when XCOM2 was developed. But why would ADVENT use a weapon like that if they have plasma? Cause XCOM already designed it. It was cheaper, designed for humans, by humans, and coopted by aliens

Bradford's forces are too well organized at the start of XCOM 2. They have a WHOL ALIEN SHIP, with a launchable drops hip? That's not something that just "goes missing" without repercussions. Especially if we get stomped into the dirt with no resistance in 2 months. This feels like an opportunity was taken while the world was still in turmoil, fighting was going on, and XCOM grabbed what it could while the aliens were suppressing major dissonance across the globe. Something that according to the elder, didn't happen. And we all know we can trust them /s

This is all just theory and hypothetical. But I am really into that rn, especially other theories like "The commander/player is actually the Ethereal from the Bureau" level of theory. Tell me if you agree/disagree/want to hear more rambling.

Random Starcraft 2 voice actor fun facts:

Stettman is voiced by Robin from Teen Titans. Yes, the same Robin who's still being mangled by TTG. And if that wasn't enough, General Warfield is voiced by one Gary Anthony Williams, who is both the voice of Dr. Tygan from XCOM 2(there's a good bit of overlap between SC2 and XCOM2, with John De Lancie being the most notable example) and also Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks. Yes, really. I'm probably gonna have more of these, and I'll send as many as my un-adhd-medicated brain commands.
