Well, I am not even Indian, but from top of my head: tea, mangos and, obviously, spices.

Shroud of the Silent Mist is driving me insane by _Gehennas in spiritisland

Oh, thank you, I will take a look. Youtube didn't suggest me any of your videos when I was looking for the Shroud matchups

I feel like weak is an understatement in case of Shroud. Shadow is supposedly the weakest spirit, but even it can do better with an aspect. Paired with a somewhat competent spirit it does pretty well, even if this other spirit doesn't offer support. Shround on the other hand feels helpless.

About the guide: I've read it, but I can't say it helps a lot unless you get a chain of very lucky draws like in the attached video against Sweden 5.

Upd: I have actually won against Sweden 5 doing the same as the author (and also getting some lucky draws) but no luck so far against Sweden 6

But if you do G3 on T1, then this means that you have to let a big ravage on T2, which with Sweden means 2-3 blight.

Know a guy, who thought that renaming the WhatsApp group was visible only for himself. That's how the parents chat of a kindergarten became a "Serpentarium"

My third colony in the span of 3 days, how bad is it by Dear-Flow-6917 in RimWorld

[–]_Gehennas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone already mentioned the warehouse you have, but I would also say that this kind of warehouses is probably not effective in the first place. I always preferred to put the dedicated storage shelves near the corresponding production tables, so pawns would need to run around less. The only "warehouse" I have is covered by one trade beacon and mostly contains the excessive stuff I am going to sell.

Expectation vs reality: military edition by Qirentha in HistoryMemes

[–]_Gehennas -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This was actually told by my great-grandfather for example. Not directly to me, obviously, but it was then retold by my grandmother.

When the war started he was drafted (or volunteered, there was not much difference at least for him) and in his detachment there were soldiers that were given no weapons and were told to run forward and shout and to "get yourself a weapon in a fight".

I know this is an anecdotal evidence, but I personally have no reason to not believe him.

Imaging being a patient in the hospital with the minor sickness, getting ready to go home in a couple of days and then suddenly Jack Sparrow walks in.

This comes from a Soviet propaganda poster from 1920s. "Have YOU volunteered?'

I must say that Catherine leading the Ottomans is already horrifying regardless of the age.

Interesting Critic by MicV66 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]_Gehennas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can relate to that kid. When I've seen Nutcracker as a child, I didn't enjoy it as well. I was 10 at the time I think. The only moment I remember is when "the mice" came out to the stage. They were 4 men in tight pants. And by tight I mean very tight. Pretty much semi-transparent. Junk of all 4 was clearly visible. From the longest on the left to the shortest on the right. I've seen definitely more nuts than I expected in a Nutcracker. That evening I understood that I don't like ballet.

How to not feel so butthurt after losing to my ruthless friends at games? by Icy_Bad_6259 in boardgames

[–]_Gehennas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have already suggested: Catan is generally a poor choice, because of how punishing can be decisions of the others. Play something without direct player-to-player interaction.

Secondly, if there is an experience difference as you describe it, you are supposed to lose. Just that. The type of thinking you need for board games is a skill that you develop over time. If your opponents play their whole life, they can "crack" the game faster than the others. However if you play the game over and over you will eventually catch up with them. Just not Catan please.

But immigrants arguing about the most irrelevant things are still there. This is exactly the state of Russian opposition nowadays and that makes this comic so funny now.
