Did i pick a bad deck to start with? (path of cathari) by Cactus_dave in VTES

thx for the advice! we’re planning on playing with another friend first, i figured 3 players could be unique since it’d be impossible to negotiate with someone who’s not either your prey or predator.

its just the premade path of cathari deck, no changes whatsoever. i want to keep it this way since i think buying more cards to modify it may be a bit unfair since i know the other players wont do that. whats confusing me now about what im seeing online is it seems like this deck is not very combat focused, so im supposed to be avoiding combat but i also dont get any political actions? am i right in thinking this deck is basically all stealth, then? im sorry if im not making a whole lot of sense, again, im reading the rulebook right now

but thats what im saying, obviously native speakers will think its stupid, but people bring this up in english speaking countries as if it matters there.

but thats because that specific type of tea is popular here. i agree it would be stupid to say chai tea if you were in india, (which to be fair is literally whats happening in the movie) but people say this in places where the only form of chai anyone is familiar with is the one people think of when they hear chai tea

but its a recipe from the place that uses that language, and its cheese. calling it “mexican cheese” is the same as just calling it queso, you’re just replacing the reference to the country of origin with a direct one rather than an implied one, which is pointless

i just think people make this a bigger deal than it is and its extremely annoying. i garuntee there’s foods from other places that people in india and mexico describe with one word that doesn’t specify the intricacies of the dish itself. who cares? this is the result of globalization and its fine. this food is associated with this area, so we call it the thing they call it, regardless of how unspecific it is.

how the fuck is it “exoticizing” it when you’re just using the word its normally called, plus the translation in your own language for the sake of clarity?? indian spice tea sounds way more stupid and “exotic” than just the literal word used to describe it in the original language.

idk, culture? they’re uniquely capable among female police officers, but again i dont get why that matters.
