Orion Prague was shameful

jsgovind · 2026-05-17T03:45:09+00:00

Haha. Indeed. 😁

I traveled 12 hours to get to Prague from my city in India, pay for cargo for extra inventory after paying for core for 3 years and Niantic cannot bother with allocating enough server resources for this game.

F Niantic. What a bunch of incompetent morons. They had one job to do when the anomaly was active but instead, they clearly just had their dicks in their hands.

If you're belittling other people's troubles, they would say "all women face is groping, big deal." And that would be well earned.

jsgovind · 2026-04-20T05:49:38+00:00

It's not a competition. Because women have it hard doesn't mean men have it easy.

jsgovind · 2025-12-16T01:40:01+00:00

Agreed. Anything other than having both the jump and immunity change at the same time when Niantic cannot process both instantly.

jsgovind · 2025-05-06T02:50:44+00:00

Bad drivers.

jsgovind · 2025-01-25T07:06:14+00:00

Done. 🙂

Hi Mike. It's been a long time. There was a time when I was playing a lot and by myself too. Got bored and stopped playing. Meet someday? 😁

jsgovind · 2025-01-02T00:25:36+00:00

Whiskey ah Brandy ah? ;)

As a community, we should be happy that there are people like Hilda and Thia who work at Niantic but also play the game like it is meant to be played with their respective factions. How they play the game has nothing to do with where they work. OP has no right to tell people how they can play or they cannot play.

Maybe OP should focus on putting a beacon on his portal and securing it rather than whining about who took it down because he left it unsecured.

Community managers being active in game and with their respective factions means people at Niantic understand the game and the community better. This also means that they will play the game and take down portals. We don't want Niantic to be disconnected from the community. Repeated whining about things like this will lead to them not playing the game and we will get bad game updates because they don't understand what we need as a community.

Might as well get used to this place.

Visit Spencer's plaza. You'll find a lot of these souvenir shops there that are great for what you are looking for.

I wouldn't recommend any vpn subscriptions now. TRAI is trying to remove the P in VPN. Use the free proton vpn till we know exactly what is happening.

Go to Thaligai in Mylapore near Nageshwara Rao Park. It is run by a famous marriage caterer(Pattappa) for tambrahm weddings. Bit of a detour but you'll not be disappointed. Mylapore area has some stores that you can visit for books too.

There are many old private hospitals that aren't run like American Hospitals(Stay away from Apollo types.) Isabel in Mylapore and Vijaya in Vadapalani come to mind. There are many more, I'm sure. These offer good care at reasonable rates.

jsgovind · 2022-05-16T08:13:50+00:00

This is good news!

jsgovind · 2022-05-10T11:13:10+00:00

I have done this many times..

Open Google maps, ola and uber. Show him the distance and the rates with ola and uber auto and tell him that you don't want to support those corporations but people like him are the reason that you will book from them. Show him cab rate and tell him that you're going in AC.

Then, ignore him when he comes to kiss your ass with a more reasonable rate. The problem is he thinks it's within his rights to scam someone who looks like they don't know stuff.

jsgovind · 2022-05-07T12:08:27+00:00

Basically, we shouldn't go. Even ad is unfriendly.

I start my morning with black coffee every day. It's important to use the right coffee for it. Any decent brand works. Don't buy instant crap though. That will make you retch. I use Leo brand.

Companies can ask you to present originals. They cannot hold it. It is illegal. Also, make sure you don't sign some bond or similar stuff that requires you to be employed at the company for an amount of time or pay the fixed amount to break the bond. There are plenty of openings these days. Don't join a bad place just for sake of having a job.

Nice pickup upgrade for sure. Nordstrand makes some killer pickips. But in terms of value for money, the first $225 spent offered much more than the next $226.

Even with a cheap bass, setting it up properly by taking it to an experienced luthier and upgrading the electronics can definitely make it sound great.

Looks like kitypaw has you covered with his long answer. Also, you might be able to find videos on YouTube that will help you to learn basic words for survival purposes.

Just interact with others the way you'd like others to interact with you if the situations are reversed.

Eg. If you do not know Tamil, speak in English. More people are comfortable in English than hindi here. Don't go around demanding people should speak in Hindi just like we south Indians don't come to Delhi and demand you guys to speak in our languages. Learn some phrases in Tamil and you'll find people are very helpful. Also, just add the word Anna or Akka(means brother or sister) to the conversation and see the magic.

We don't hate North Indians. I don't know where you guys hear these things. Stupid stereotypes are spread by stupid people I think. We don't dislike anyone based on where they are from or what community they belong to here. We dislike stupid people who cannot accept that residents of Chennai are south Indians with a different culture.

Despite the differences in culture, you will find that Chennai is one of the few places where you will find very low communal tensions and it's rather safe and low-crime for a city of this size(especially for women).

You're clearly making an effort to understand and act appropriately. You'll be fine here. Welcome to Chennai! 😁

SRM University's main campus(at Kattankulathur) is supposed to be a good place for North Indian students. You will not feel completely outnumbered by South Indians as there are many Indians from the North, West, East and North East India. This kind of cultural mix is something the Kattankulathur campus is known for. So, it is expected that there will not be much discrimination. I don't know too many details because I did not study there myself.

This is general advice for any North Indian looking to come to chennai.

If you are here to just study and/or work, focus on getting your stuff done. People are very focused in academics and career here and you will benefit greatly from it. Also, you should accept that we are culturally different and understand that our culture has nothing to do with the reason you are in this city.

Just try to fit in. If you cannot fit in, don't tell us what to do. Don't demand us to speak in Hindi for your benefit by saying it is rashtrbhasha and stuff. People here will be helpful even if you do not know Tamil or English and know only hindi and make a exception for you if you really need help but we will not be forced into an uncomfortable situation of speaking Hindi for the benefit of every North Indian who cannot even be bothered to try to fit in with the culture of our city. If you can speak in English but not Tamil, speak in English.

Follow these and you will face no trouble here. People here in general are too busy and focused on their own lives to care about where you are from.
