X-COM Explosion Still Missed

Text on the meme

"Summarize X-COM in one image" Missed!

What it means

A huge fiery explosion engulfs an industrial platform in an X-COM game screenshot, while the combat interface calmly reports “Missed!”. The joke captures X-COM’s notorious inaccurate shots: even an attack that appears to hit at point-blank range can somehow fail. It is used as a reaction to spectacularly failing an obvious task.
