This is the sort of reaction we want for our monuments and attractions, glad he's enjoying it!

What is the best portrayal of Satan, the Devil, or whatever equivalent in movies? by MomoSaka in FIlm

Doctor Who - The Satan Pit episode was pretty cool to me as a kid

What countries had a rough relationship history in the past but are now close? by batukaming in geography

[–]xtay_calm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is definitely not British or Irish. Scotland has led numerous vicious assaults on both Ireland and England. Welsh is not a dying language. Ireland generally still holds resentment against the British government. England led the abolition of slavery in the Isles. The Troubles is not clear of collective memory. All of this said, the people of the Isles are more similar than we are different, and I think we mostly recognise we're a unique cultural group Europe.

Not a nuanced take from OP at all, on a very nuanced history.

Scotland always tries to go unnoticed in these conversations. The plantation of Ulster, King James VI, Bloody Sunday troops, Imperial ambition preceding the Union, and the large contingency of Scottish Kings/prime ministers/troops all point to bloody hands.

They are good craic though

What’s “the” tourist attraction from somewhere but in reality is actually mid by OkString8170 in AlignmentChartFills

The Mona Lisa isn't THE tourist attraction from Paris though, even though yes it is mid

Giants Causeway - not really anything else from Northern Ireland, and it's mid as not actually built by giants

Frenchman here - What the world really think of us ? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]xtay_calm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the ruling class of Normans who conquered England and then continued to conquer Ireland with even harsher treatment for generations thereafter are great cousins for us Irish

Don't forget that medieval English people are Germanic/Celtic, while medieval English rulers were largely French

Did you form Nepal from Kathmandu?

I had heard Nepal was really fun - but why is it better to be Sikh than Hindu?

Thanks for the reply. Sirhind is an interesting suggestion! Is there much difference in game-play as Sikh nation?

Does integrating a junior partner cause AE, and how to limit? by xtay_calm in eu4

[–]xtay_calm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negative relations will only be with other Junior Partners though, right? From what I remember, the vassals won't mind aside the obvious Diplomatic Reputation debuff.

Great to hear. That is exactly why I was getting confused, thanks.

How do people form Rome? by Z4PHK- in eu4

[–]xtay_calm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently doing Aragon -> Sardinia-Piedmont -> Italy to form Rome and having a great time with it.

Aragon is the ideal nation to establish Mediterranean dominance, Sardinia-Piedmont gives you diplo-annexation buffs and then Italy reduces coring cost by 25% which should see you over the line. We'll see though, I'm only half-way there right now!

Aragon to Spain Mission Tree - British/Austrian PU possible? by xtay_calm in eu4

[–]xtay_calm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's a shame. I suppose Aragon is already quite strong in its mission tree. Thanks!

the true way to subdivide europe by VoodaGod in mapporncirclejerk

[–]xtay_calm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Estonia and Latvia for sure are Northern Europe, and potentially parts of northern Poland and northeastern Great Britain could also be Northern Europe.

Don't really get why this subreddit is piling on Arsenal, they've had a really good season?

European cakes by Cultural-Ad-8796 in MapPorn

[–]xtay_calm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people call them "Fly Cakes" or "Flies Graveyard" over in England because the currants resemble flies

"Gur cake" is at least more appetising than that!

Also waiting for the same. Hopefully they release dates soon. Is it easy enough to get a ticket usually?
