I'm guessing flak is from the AE, right?

Spoiler: I'm spoiling this because it might count as FTL spoilers? Maybe? Also, slightly off-topic but give me a break, first FTL win and all that. (click to show/hide)

As for boarders - I took drone control out really quick on the second round (beam drone + assault drone spam is what usually killed me) so no problems there, in 3rd round first 2 guys and then shortly after 1 more teleported to me but with some careful micromanagement I successfully repealed them with 0 losses... I might have even killed them, iirc, seeing how I destroyed their teleport relatively quickly, I might have done that before they had chance to tele back, I'm not sure.

Also, one thing I've learned when I started playing FTL again - sensors. I mean wow, does one guy on sensor, even un-upgraded, change the game for me. It really helped me for instance to know when the guys on flagship's guns were dead, I could then just break the guns and focus on something else.

I really need to try a bio-beam build.

Managed to win using the Escape Pod and spending ludicrous amounts of food (either unlocking the med pod) without pausing (unlocking the sanitary pod) and opening every door (drill pod) in the same run. That only leaves the Armory Pod (No dead heroes, which happened a lot) for future tries. All in all, quite happy.

Dungeon of the Endless

[Graknorke]

After multiple iterations and messing up my rescue by doing things such as blowing up my soldier with artillery, blowing up civilians with artillery, and blowing up my artillery with orbital artillery, I managed to rescue a whole 67 people, which was enough to beat the level. Woo, responsibility for humanity!

Atom Zombie Smasher
I bought it literally because it has 'Atom Smasher' in the title. It's actually pretty fun, didn't find out it was by Blendo until I played it. Also can someone explain their obsession with Buenos NUEVOS Aires? I'm not sure I get it.

nuevos aires, and it is because many of blendo games previous games are set there.

AZS is so weird. I love the surfer tunes but it got very repetitive after a while (the music not the game, game is great). It's also really really haaaaard.. ;-;

[Itnetlolor]

Took on a whole room of scrags, then suddenly a shambler (forgot about them being this early on Hard), and before I could catch my breath, another fucking shambler. I had a shotgun, super shotgun, and a regular nailgun. Took minimal damage, and conserved a surprising amount of ammo during the fight. Primarily because of the nailgun's surprising accuracy, relative to the crap accuracy of the (super) shotgun.

Quake, Hard Mode

I forgot how enjoyable it was to maul all kinds of beasts to ska music; since the soundtrack isn't available still.

Just as well, I just realized that I keep mental notes of how much damage my weapons do, and how many shots I need to clear a room. It's like my brain was playing DoomRL while I'm playing these classics. No wonder I owned those shamblers. I counted the amount of shots needed for the first one.

I changed the game.

You see, when I first walked into that Medical section...

I was the prey. The hunted. No weapons, only distractions. Distract the beast, hide from it, run from it, delay it.

And then I found my first Molotov schematic. I put it together hiding under two tables, just after watching the Alien chase a man into hiding (The guy hid literally behind the NEXT table over, and I was close enough to touch either of them as the Alien killed him. I had to stay within like two feet of the Alien as I scurried around so it wouldn't see me.)

I waited, and checked my tracker. The Alien was scurrying around in the vents above me when it heard the insistent 'Beep---Beep--Beep-BeepBeepBeepBeep' of the tracker.

It dropped down into the room I was in, and sniffed at the body. It stood there for awhile, obviously knowing something strange was up here, but not knowing what it was. It finally took a couple steps, coming into my view. I watched it's legs pump twice, carrying it to the door. It's tail slithered along the ground right next to me.

And I look over to my friends in our darkened room and I say, "I have an idea..."

I hopped out of cover, whipped out the Molotov, and threw it directly into the center of the Alien's back, in the middle of the four 'coolant towers' (That's what I think of them as. The big spire things.) The ensuing burst of flame engulfed the monster, and I followed it as it ran from me, screeching shrilly.

The beast in my mind twisted it's face into a feral grin. Afraid of fire, are you? I'll teach you to fear me...

Now I am no longer the hunted. I am not the prey. We are warriors, and this is a battle. War I can do, motherfucker. That sneaking around hiding from you like a little bitch thing? Yeah, I was only doing that until I found how to fight you on a level playing field. 

Then I found Taylor and Samuels again, with a Marshal named Waits and some unnamed deputy. We went to the Marshal's offices, and I received a flamethrower.

That beast in my mind? It howled with delight when I saw I had 500 flamer fuel.

Yes. This is war now.

I haven't played Alien: Isolation or survival horror games at all but I think you ended up missing the point.

[MaximumZero]

For some of us, that is the point of survival horror.

[NullForceOmega]

I agree with Hans and MZ, the appropriately human response to survival horror is to snap and kill the damn thing.  I am an apex predator, not a meal on legs.

Took some effort to find, but these sound packs are still as funny as when I first used them. MST3k and Simpsons are always a good source of entertainment for this game.

Grab a key, inevitable enemies spawn, "Krusty: GUESS WHO, FATBOY!!!", die from laughter and enemy fire, "Mr. Burns: What a disgraceful display...". Also Homer going crazy as the sounds for melting in acid or lava is a funny way to get killed.

Just as well, hearing rotwilers scream "Snausages!" or hearing mooks say "Again?" as you kill them is always pretty funny, as well as the commentary for collecting loot. Like ammo pickups: "HUZZAH!"

[Tawa]

Beat All-Star mode with Villager and like almost 200% damage.

Bloody hell, kid. You're a friggin' psycho.

The thing about humans is we're designed to be prey- after all, we don't really have claws, fangs or anything, but instead we went 'fuck that' and armed ourselves with spears and such.

What.

No, this is the exact opposite of how it worked. Humans are predators. We have binocular vision, omnivorous dentition, we're skilled at endurance hunting and working in packs, we have increased intelligence to anticipate prey behavior... The list goes on. We don't have big fangs or claws, yeah, but we are actually quite dangerous with our blunt striking fists if we choose to be. 

Edit:
Sorry, I misspoke. Humans are the apex predator of earth. We are outdone in detail, but we shine with our general ability. We are so predatory that we eat EVERYTHING living.

[MaximumZero]

we are actually quite dangerous with our blunt striking fists if we choose to be. 

Indeed.
