You can also extinguish burning units by having them hunker down.

Good to know, thanks

How often do children catch fire such that they need to roll on the ground to smother the flames Ive never even heard of a kid catching fire

I guess if they stop drop and roll out the flames it wouldnt make the news

Maybe its holdover widsom from back in the day when everybody washed their clothes with gasoline and people started smoking at age 9

BahamutZERO

let me tell you the tale of the time my friend's little sister tried to sneakily set our hair on fire while we weren't paying attention, as a prank

Hobnail

It seems like if specifically just your head was on fire stopping dropping and rolling just means youll die lookin silly

BahamutZERO

my anecdote was more meant to illustrate children being very irresponsible with fire in general but that's a good point, I don't want to die looking silly, that would be awful

This literally happened in my library less than a month ago.

Baidol

Did you use your drone to quell the fire?

Jedoc

If I had a drone, it would definitely be all out of charges from combat protocoling unruly teens.

How many dangerous actions taken by children have been inspired by Home Alone?

Hobnail

I remember the first home invader I killed with a brick

Pinfeldorf

There are still a pile of home invaders in the basement of my childhood home with their skulls crushed in by a pendulum paint can. Ah, the memories.

I have a distinct memory of trying to walk off the back of our deck (like, a foot drop) and hover in the air like a looney toon and when I couldn’t I decided it was because Bugs Bunny was a professional.

I’m sure some kids have done some dumb shit because of Home Alone.

Same.

Crippl3

balls are funny

Platy

I wonder if that whole obsession started with Whoopie Goldberg biting a KGB agent in the balls and making him see stars and stripes in Jumpin' Jack Flash

Hobnail

I think thats definitely what it was

So many civvie deaths. Does XCom even care about the People?!

sarukun

The severity of the mismatch between a regular joe and a motherfucking berserker is too damn funny.

Snicketysnick

If civilians wanted to protect themselves they could simply join XCOM and be issued a set of nice armour

sarukun

Maybe they’ve got a condition, Snickety.

Maybe they come from circumstances, and can’t exactly contribute.

C words.

Jedoc

Berserkers always make me hungry for prosciutto.

Hobnail

It doesnt make me feel good about myself when a xray declines the flanking shot on my nearly dead trooper to obliterate Viggo Mortensen from The Road and I like it I am glad

Jedoc

Parry, please. Nothing like carving up an alien's stupid weird guts and then completely no-selling their buddy's attempt at vengeance.

Sorry you got mashed by a Berserker, BZ. We'll go pretend to give you a twenty-gun salute.

Also, the Gremlin didn't get mashed, right? We can still bring it along on missions? Because that little guy was definitely the MVP of the partnership.

Fencingsax

Hey, that could have gone worse.

Snicketysnick

I think I speak for everyone when we say "...." Zero.

wow, I can't believe @BahamutZERO is fucking dead

Baidol

I think Bahamut might have lived if they hadn't missed their second-to-last shot.

Also, get back here Tofy you coward

BahamutZERO

my silent mime ghost will haunt my squadmates, always miming silently at the edge of their vision

Brovid Hasselsmof

Bahamut's squadmates spot her in the barracks at base, can't believe their eyes, call out to her but she doesn't seem to hear them. They rush over as she walks behind a couch and descends a flight of stairs, but when they round the couch there's no sign of her, and there were never any stairs.

Pinfeldorf

The stairs were the friends we made along the way.

Baidol

Is XCOM so desperate for funds we're making critical infrastructure out of the corpses of our friends?
