      If you can’t beat Russia in less than 6 months, retreat. The winter is too cold, and spring is too wet. This causes it it also be very humid, which is perfect for diseases.

    RNG stands for random number generator
    It's a perception (maybe) of how in computer games loot is distributes. Once you loot a chest or a monster the random number generator determines if you get some good loot or just crap.
    So praying to the lord of RNG once in a while will increase your luck to get good loot (very much like praying to the Lord in Heaven will make your lives easier).
    Obiviously the messiah of the lord of RNG is his son RNGesus.

    Explanation time!: "RNGesus" is a non-serious deity created by the video gaming community. His name comes from mixing Jesus and RNG, which stands for "Randomly Generated Number".
    RNG refers to mechanics that add randomness to a game, similar to dice rolls in Dungeons and Dragons. This is a term mostly used by the Speedrunning community, though the most broad part of the gaming community adopted it and turned into "RNGesus", a fickle god that grants his boons to anyone whenever he feels like it.
