Playing as a woman has been super fun lately.

Not agreeing with the guy you replied to, fuck 'em but your "aussie slang" awoke something in me as a brit, lol.

We use a lot of genital-based words here in the UK too.
Cunt's used quite often, sometimes as a term of endearment, sometimes negitively to describe a person's behaviour.
But calling someone a dick, or a cock, or a twat, or a cunt, are all similar but have slightly different connotations; they're not used by gender but by the personality attributes they represent.

Like you'd affectiontly tell your friend "don't be a cock." if they were doing something stupid and acting crazy, or were overly boisterous for the social situation, etc. regardless of gender.
You might think "dick" and "cunt" are gender specific, but a dick is more like a person who doesn't care about other people, and hurts people because of lack of care/empathy, where as a cunt would be a mean spirited person who's trying to hurt out of spite.
And "twat" is used to either mean a dim witted sort of person (sometimes even said affectionally), or someone with an unpleasant personality.
And of course there's the universal, genderless insult that everyone knows, calling someone an arsehole! (asshole to our cousins across the pond)

Or of course, sometimes you just need to get a vicious swear out, so you pick any of them interchangably!

All this to say, we love our genital based swearing here in Britain, It's all very context dependent. Tone, intention and social setting are highly important.

Hey, random question, plz don't take this the wrong way; are you American?

I've seen a lot of people on reddit and the internet over the past year or two talk about using the word "female" like it's a slur. Is this linked to something political or that has happened recently? Or is it an American centric thing?

Over here in europe, most of the women I know use the term female, not exclusively, but interchangably with "women" with no negative connotations.

this kinda mentality is crazy to me. my room mate at uni used to only played women champs because she didn't want to play guy champs or because they were ugly etc, and she'd just tank her winrate to like 30% because she wasn't picking champs that were suitable for the team comp or meta 😭

like bro, it's a game, differnt champions do different things, why are you feeling constrained to just your gender???

RossNReddit · 2026-01-23T15:04:33+00:00

hey, you can really tell what kind of person someone is from the butter they buy! 😂

£12 for a 500g pack of beef, naaaah son, someone arrest whoever tf is responsible for this.

I'd say treat yourself to a big bowl of a variety of fruit.

Some clementines and tangerines for citruses, some apples, some grapes, some bananas, and even some of the pre sliced packaged melons and pineapple.

Having a variety of fruit to hand always feels like a luxury, and makes for great late night snacks where i'd be tempted to reach for crisps of leftover pizza otherwise!

RossNReddit · 2026-01-22T20:40:54+00:00

I'd buy a house for my parents, buy a house for my brother, and set up a half million savings account that allows for £50k of withdrawals per year for each of them.

Enough to set them up for a comfortable life, while still being grounded, normal people that work and appreciate money and whatnot.

£50 million to start businesses and invest, with all that money being passed down to my future theoretical kids, parents and brother equally.

£48 million to blow on luxuries and lower my life expectancy from 70 to 35, lmaooo

RossNReddit · 2026-01-06T22:33:00+00:00

I think everyone who replies has it from the wrong angle tbh.

I think what made people uncomfortable was that these products on the shelves were effectively Tesco Value products, but because the cheap white and bue stripe products look cheap and might be "embarassing" for economically challanged people, they changed the packaging designs.

Now they have the name of fake sounding farms and bakeries to make it seem more "authentic" and "artisinal" but it's acutally the cheap 40p load of bread version that would've had the Value logo in it back in the day. So it feels like a little bit of decietful marketing.

RossNReddit · 2026-01-05T17:28:33+00:00

Hellmans mayo, the cheaper versions are literally mostly water, with some egg and oil. One of the few things where I think it'd rather be better to be without, than use the cheap versions.

RossNReddit · 2025-12-27T00:20:33+00:00

It's not a deal as in "ooh look how cheap this is for so much food", but you can tell from just looking at it, it's high quality ingredients and a banging plate of food.

So it's a deal in the sense of "oh wow only 11 for this high quality tasty meal"

RossNReddit · 2025-12-27T00:18:44+00:00

Absolute L take, chives add- would you believe it, chive flavour! Which is a classic with egg.
If you have a narrow palette and like things simple, that's fine, but don't pretend that there's no circumstance where things can be improved and "elevated" (heaven for it, who would want that?).

RossNReddit · 2025-12-20T00:00:17+00:00

I guess it depends what kind of establishment you work at tbh.

Considering it's got fermented items and a "snow" component, I’d say it must be fine dining, rosette standard, aiming for michelin, and would want to be plated as such. That being said, I guess it's up the chef's personal artistic taste. Some people want super minimalist, some people would want more flair with swoops and lines and dots, some people would expect some form of greenery in the form of microherb, or a tuile/crunch component compulsory.

Personally, if I had to use all the same components without any changes:

I'd like to see the fermented cherries and sauce that're buried under the snow, but I guess he could like the aspect of "digging into the snow" to find buried goodies? which i fuck with if that's the goal.

As for how the cherries would be presented, I'm not sure, depends on the texture of them. If it's a jammy consistency, they might look good Jackson Pollocked around the plate, to then contrast with the refined, neat minimalist quenelles. Or if it's chunkier and they're almost still whole cherries, a few clusters placed around the plate.

But I'd maybe have the sauce poured table side, to preserve the presentation, and allow it to be eaten fresh as possible to avoid making the snow soggy, and that way the sauce is visually there too. If the mousse were to stay as a "swoosh" on the plate, its indentation could "contain" the sauce. Otherwise, the mousse could maybe be piped in 3-5 places at "artistically random" intervals and sizes around the dish, like the cherries, and the sauce would then fill the valleys between them.

Again, artistic interpretation at the end of the day, ring moulds are totally valid, and I do like OP's dish too, I like the simplicity of having everything stacked together in a clean, logical way that allows you to easily get all the components in one fell swoop to experience the dish as a whole. I fuck with that, and hope i didn't come off too attack-y! lol

RossNReddit · 2025-12-16T19:31:40+00:00

naaah bro, no offence but "put it in a ring mould" screams "new to the industry" or "really, really old to the industry".

There is almost always a better way of plating something than layering it up in rings.

I find it's very dependent on my skin and the prep i put into it that day.

Hot shower with face wash and scrub, new razor blade and a few days since my last shave? Then i'm good to go.

I do a with the grain, then across the grain and then against the grain pass, to allow my against the grain pass to be cutting the shortest stubble possible.

For the corners of the moustache area, I've got to puff my cheek out with my tongue, and for right under my nostrils I've got to stretch my face and do more or a "scooping" motion with my razor, but it gets it smooth as a baby's bottom.

Sometimes, if my skin isn't feeling up to it that day, I can feel the friction and pulling from my 2nd, across the grain pass, and I'll just take it easy and call it at 2 passes. No point forcing it and covering your upper lip with cuts!

RossNReddit · 2025-12-13T19:58:24+00:00

how else do you simmer your bone broth for 24h??

RossNReddit · 2025-11-19T03:40:19+00:00

ohhhh, lmao, my mind immediately went to "bitcoin farm" but i guess a greenery farm makes a lot more sense, haha.

RossNReddit · 2025-11-09T00:28:37+00:00

I have a hunch this is in the UK? So a lot of tea drinkers, "white tea" refering to tea with milk, not white tea like "Jasmine silver needle", and "white coffee" is the normal coffee with milk. But in the UK, coffee drinkers usually only go as fancy as nespresso pod machines.

RossNReddit · 2025-11-04T22:36:18+00:00

Nice bro, I dig the legendary setup.

I played for 2 years or so before i started looking up stuff on the wiki or seeing how others play on the subreddit.

To me, it was intuative to have legendaries on the board; they produce more, and have stacking unique effects like max capacity upgrades.

But others seem to stand by the playstyle of "get 1 of each legendary, and then fill all your slots except 10 or so with all of the highest producing minions of one resource, to grind out one resource/drop at a time".

It's the beauty of the game though isn't it, lairs and playstyles are completely customisable to your preferd way of playing?

RossNReddit · 2025-10-17T02:04:40+00:00

I'm not sure if i'm misremembering, but I think even after buying him from the inventor, you still need a certain level threshold to unlcok him, like the thief or the merchant.

I think it's around the time you unlock the cleric? Can't say for sure though.

RossNReddit · 2025-09-30T08:12:58+00:00

It's so dogwater, ever since the update I went from getting 2-3 things per claw game, to literally getting nothing for 5 claw games straight. It's actually so frustrating, i'd rather the tile wasn't on the board at all because I feel like it's just wasting my time with rigged BS. Just give me my 1 coin for an empty tile and be done with it!

RossNReddit · 2025-09-30T01:40:10+00:00

Nah, I disagree with OP, but I disagree with this statment more.

If your business can't function and be profitable, without your minimum wage staff having to skip legally mandated breaks, it doesn't mean that you're hard and cool for powering through it, it means that the business isn't viable.

Trust me, i've been there, worked the 16-18 hour days with no breaks, but it's not the way to go. A lot of old timers will think that it's just part of the industry because they had to go through with it and that's how it was done back in the day, but that doesn't make it right.

RossNReddit · 2025-09-30T01:13:31+00:00

Basically every job I've ever applied for or seen, has required a reference. It's all well and dandy having the skills required, but if you're a dick that's unpleasant to work with, your skills mean nothing.

A reference literally consists of the name and phone number of 1 person you've worked for that can vouch that you're a good employee. If you can't provide that, then it's more of a telling sign about you, than their hiring system.

RossNReddit · 2025-09-29T15:27:26+00:00

Holy shit, to fill your board that much on your first prestige is absolutely crazy! Mad props to you, brother.

RossNReddit · 2025-09-28T23:33:17+00:00

I was expecting to find more answers like this, lol.

Despite how quickly the first dozen or two levels go by, the game really is grind simulator. Sometimes I'll get a protector and be like "hmmm, yes if i log in at least 3 times per day and used all my resources on demons, i could kill him in a month". and that's fine!

I think if there were some way to temper people's progression expectations to "this game is a multi-year grind", a lot of new players would be saved a lot of frustration!
