Yeah, see, the thing about losing at XCOM is it only makes you want to play more XCOM π
Good news and bad news. Good news is that XCOM 2 still gets very challenging when you reach the summer months. The bad news is I could not locate the resources for better armor, nor could I obtain the second squad size upgrade, prior to the summer months. “That’s XCOM, Baby!”
On the positive side, I received this achievement π

DO NOT RUN THE FAUCET OVER YOUR GAMING KEYBOARD.
Just because it worked in the 90s, and just because you did it to another one only a few weeks ago, does not mean it will be fine βthis time.β
It will not be fine βthis time.β β¨οΈπ§π

What if there was a catastrophe on Earth and all the humans had to upload their brain patterns to corporate servers in order to avoid extinction? And what if, in doing so, they accidentally fell into an anarcho-communist virtual utopia? Yep. This game can sim that! Started out of the gate going extinct. Now we all live in the Oasis. And there are no masters. Itβs actually one of the more utopian campaigns Iβve had. Hasnβt even been a war ππ€πͺ

The second city proceeds well. Finally got that bus system that the stream suggested last evening. WE PAY OUR BILLS FIRST, CHAT! Got a couple of gimmie achievements. Also, can I just say, as a gamer of many decades, NVIDIA DLSS technology is absolutely amazing. Also, here is a video game television of city-building.
