Crucible

I never tried it 'cause Xcom lore is really a mess already even without including a roswell prequel

I feel like an invasion of Mexico as a way to 'combat the cartels' has been in the consent manufacturing chute for a few years now

It might be because I'm an ancient wreck but I have a distinct memory of being a kid and a man telling me: 'women gossip, men talk shit.' in a way that definitely said he understood it was the same thing, but if you ever suggested he was a gossip his masculinity would be insulted. Also may have relation to a more religious upbringing, as 'idle talk' and gossip are prohibited in the bible and after church conversations were divided along gendered lines but the women were always described as staying late 'to gossip.'

The antagonism shown by the admins and mods every time they decide something behind the scenes then spring it on everyone unilaterally is so exhausting. If you hate interacting with users so much that you're making alts to harass people or just deciding to ban people who politely disagree with you then this really isn't the right gig for you

Banned for speaking too much truth

Tbh whether the site is a cozy safe space or if it's supposed to be the starting point of a vanguard party has been an issue which feels like it has been intentionally glossed over ever since federation
