Started a normal abduction mission (with Long War, might I add. This is, approximately, my 5 millionth abduction mission.) in a.. really shitty position. Seriously? Behind this building with no cover except the building itself? Thanks, Skyranger pilot.
Anywho, I send my sniper up to the observatory area to get him a good Squadsight spot, and put two or so men in the downstairs room of said observatory, when all of the sudden a Cyberdisk appears! My first. I was not glad.
My soldiers and the 'Disk exchange fire after it literally oneshots our SHIV, and then a few Thin Men decide to show up. All's rather well and good, considering, even when my medic tanks two (ONLY TWO??) damage from the 'Disk's grenade... but another 'Disk shows up. Its Drone buddies zap my scout, whom is then shot by the Thin Men, another Thin Man oneshots my infantry unit, my sniper's actually in a super shitty spot... I restarted.
XCOM - Enemy Within

That sounds rather like my first rounds against Cyberdisks in Long War.

Yeeeaaaah, Long War will seriously kick your ass. I've actually restarted a mission several times just so it generates with me in a spot where I can actually get cover in the first turn, since otherwise by the end of the second turn my team's dying and the aliens are breaking out the anal probes.

What made me happ-

Wait. Am I in the WTF thread? Oh, wait, no, they're discussing Argentinian spikes of lutefisk laced with drugs in cocktails...

Hmm.

Yeah I got nuthin'.

It's also an exceedingly bad idea to not be nice to cats. (See also: the Duchess, the Tiger Keeper, or tigers, lots of tigers. Dear god.)

Isn't there a deity in Lovecraft's works that will murder you dead if you abuse cats?

You mean Lovecraft himself wouldn't personally hunt you through space and time?

According to Atomic Robo, that's perfectly plausible. Lovecraft is himself a Lovecraftian horror that wants to consume the universe from its point of observation that lies outside of time.

Does this only work in .34? Because I just tried it in 40.24, nothing happened.

Try it with other entity tags like PLAINS or FOREST

It took me a moment to remember that those tags refer to humans and elves. I was busy imagining a dwarf glancing outside and crying in horror as giant slabs of savannah dirt dramatically advance on the fortress.

I accidentally wandered into an evil zone... Apparently I was playing as a Japanese schoolgirl, since I was immediately surrounded by half a dozen giant spiky tentacles.

Larix, you are truly amazing. This guide is awesome!

Basically I'm mostly convinced that you're the Dwarven God of Mechanics.
Yes I'm a huge fan of your work.

Some kinda giant demon-hog decided he didn't like the way I was sedately wandering around harvesting grass, so he headbutted me into oblivion.
