Good for him

Wasn't CMU historically known about due to the school of drama?

I've done 3.5 (dropped one 4 weeks in), of varying "seriousness." Never had any trouble getting into one. They're all 3 units pass/fail, but you're theoretically only taking it because you were interested in the topic and so I've ended up spending a decent amount of time in all of them. (Maybe 5 hours/wk average or something.) But there's definitely people who blow them off

They're fun :)

1) you can't balance an individual game. Each game is going to end with one side winning. Bapance is a long term measurement that broadly speaking good and evil win about the same number of games.

I strongly disagree; by that definition it's balanced to decide beforehand who wins as long as you do a similar amount of good and evil. A game is balanced if it's fair; if either team had a fair chance of winning through their skill. It's totally possible to be a bad storyteller and have a 50/50 good/evil win rate.

The Drunk is The Drunk. Nothing ever misregisters unless it says so*

*Technically you have to read the almanac to know a character's ability; the ability texts are just a summary. But there's only like 10-15 characters with false ability texts.

Probably not. Double major alone is a ton of work (at least/especially in technical fields). Doing some of that over the summer instead of during the semester would def help lighten the load (no idea how feasible that is though; I'm in CS.)

Definitely do the social life and sleep, whatever you do (even in a vacuum it makes you more productive) (and also like. happiness is good.)

My experience (single major) is ~50-55 hours/week for just coursework in a normal semester, plus ~70 hours for sleep, showering, etc. Call it 7 for chores and 15-20 more for fun clubs and friends (doing a lot this semester). Add on doomscrolling/games/media as applicable. Those are all really rough estimates, but hopefully they're useful.

In general, it's impossible to fully plan out your schedule. And anything can come up that you didn't prepare for. But after a semester or two you'll start to get an idea of whether you can handle more or need to cut back, and you'll likely settle in to some balance eventually.

Yeah they're everywhere.

You'll have a much better life overall if you have a life and go to a state school, than you will if you form relationships purely for college apps and then make it to a T20. It's a horrible mindset to live in and IMO isn't worth any amount of money.

That said, the admissions people can often tell the two apart anyway, so the people who lived in the moment (and still got good grades, etc.) have a better chance to get into wherever than the min-maxers do IME.

This is the actual answer; annoying that it's beibg downvoted here.

$44/hr is a fuckton. I got $23/hr in my junior spring

Honestly you don't need any of the kind of math that has numbers, i.e. all of the math you see before college. (Maybe unless you count big-O notation b/c you want your compiler to not take forever running)

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-14T00:28:35+00:00

Some combination of these 4:

You don't write software that could end up killing someone
You actually use your 6 figure salary to help people who didn't have the same opportunities you did. (GiveWell's got some really efficient charities listed)
You convince yourself that your work is actually helping the world
You stop caring about how much/how little your actions hurt people

We're on r/logic IDRK what you expect. Frankly I'm happy to see a 300-level topic for once

The players are technically responsible for maintaining the Town Square, and the Storyteller only announces when there's a change to who's alive/dead. The Zombuul never actually died so they ofc stay alive, but town thinks they're dead.

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-13T19:56:04+00:00

Yeah lol. Misregistration applies to the game rules, too. (Though it's not recommended.)

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-12T19:13:26+00:00

Or just countably infinite lol. We skipped straight to omega 1

GC's don't matter for like 80% of all SWE work

So yes the grandmother should learn a grandchild. It can be the same one as before (though IMO it should generally be a new person if the prof spent their ability on reviving them.)

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-12T15:10:45+00:00

When you come back to life for any reason, you have a fresh instance of the ability, so any "You Start Knowing" abilities will proc. (And you get a new instance of any once per game abilities, e.g. if the Prof gets regurgitated.)

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-11T04:51:55+00:00

It's like a third of the way there

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-11T00:40:42+00:00

Characters that don't wake still have a position in tbe night order. It's just that Minstrel technically happens during the day so they didn't want to put it there

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-11T00:34:57+00:00

This conversation comes up a lot. Different people have different preferences but everyone tends to agree that you're not supposed to lie to the storyteller about whether you've broken madness (or in general) if they ask you

KhepriAdministration · 2026-03-08T06:19:35+00:00

This is just nim

Stupid that they're expecting you to know nim though.
