How so? India games resemble Christian games but with a once-per-ruler Subjugation CB you can use. The main thing I found frustrating last time I played India was the huge amount of waiting I had to do at the awkward stage where I controlled most of India, but not all of it, and had no way to attack the remaining king, so I couldn't make the empire yet.

Difficult in the sense that only Hindus can holy war, and Hindus cannot holy war against Buddhists and Jains, thus if you're not managing marriage claims your expansion will be slow. I suppose you could start as a Muslim and holy war all over India and then convert to a Dharmic faith for that extra control. Buddhism is the GOAT for long-lived philosopher Kings and heirs. I suppose India is also fun if you enjoy dealing with the pandemics and plagues. Lotta disease outbreaks

Sweet fornication the TV babbling heads were citing harvard studies claiming a link between using less eye-stabbing color themes on social media and being depressed, and saying that wanting less eye strain is a reason to pay extra attention to your child's mental health. Their flailing insistence in calling it "filters" make me think they might be talking about stuff like f.lux, too.

Someone make it end before it starts, high intensity/bright color schemes are the headache devil ;_;

Similarly, people who like soothing music should be tested for mental health disorders, and put on a steady diet of Crazy Frog, Hamsterdance and Sandstorm remixes.

The fact that a bunch of people are saying that 'Deus Vult' is a Nazi meme now makes me angry. Like WTF Deus Vult is Deus Vult not some shitty edgy right wing meme godwillsdamn it.

My favourite one was talking about how "Deus vault" was some top secret code word. WHAT IS IN THE DEUS VAULT?

Reminds me of how searching for Caliphate in the UK got kids done in on a watchlist for terrorism, even though there's a thousand year history full of reasons why a kid in school might want to learn about history.

Obviously, it's the Nazis' secret gold.

Sorry man, but I think  it  either was an alt right meme from its inception or it was hijacked very early on (if so, it wasnt that hard to hijack to begin with). That doesnt mean that liking the meme automatically makes you a nazi, but behind that meme there is a very perverse message.  I certainly wouldnt want to be seen reposting it, just as I wouldnt like to be seen reposting Beppo the frog's memes:  both are guilty by association with some very disgusting movements, regardless of the reason why you're posting them.

I'm not judging mind you, but you ought to be aware of the impression you can convey

I find that India is one of the places where your dynastic game has to be the strongest. The lack of viable casi belli means that you have to think one or two generations ahead and really work your family's claims.

Interesting. KnowYourMeme does associate it heavily with TheDonald and alt-right stuff, but I wasn't aware of that, and had seen it used frequently in a RP, non-political sense by people online who don't appear to have any right-wing affiliations.

A good meme ruined by politics, perhaps.

Eh, I won’t judge anyone if they use it here. Looking through the search function, bay12 has used quite often, though mainly in the context of a religion getting too uppity and self-righteous.

Also this video is hilarious and I don’t want to take that away.

Deus VUlt got an alt-right connotation when alt right started screaming deus vult with which they mean 'crusade, kill muslims'

[TD1]

Yea, never heard it used in that context. From my experience with it, it's a tool in your irony belt.

Coffee ice cream is nice though
