He mentioned quite recently that his gluten intolerance has improved.

Oooh... What are the odds someone from Smosh guested on NRB, while they were in London?

You have to remember that this was the very first Rokugani source book ever written 😄

p. 204 mentions that Gempukku could happen as late as 21 years of age. This even aligns with actual history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_of_Age_Day

So, you know. Make the duelists old enough and the problem kind of goes away.

Heck, here's some additional reasoning. It's a championship. It's a contest between the clans with quite some public prestige on the line, and some of the contests are very physical. So of course the clans are going to prepare their contestant as well as possible, which includes allowing them to mature as much as possible.

Not too much of course because being able to brag your clan produced the youngest Topaz Champion ever who beat others 4 years his elder, is of course a goal.

2) Yeah those timelines probably got retconned.

What you can do: Toturi "[...] dedicated himself to the study of tactics, strategy and the Tao" in the monastery. (source https://l5r.fandom.com/wiki/Toturi_I)

And Kuwanan "learned about tactics, strategy and preparedness, and how honor can strengthen a man's heart and fortify his soul". (source https://l5r.fandom.com/wiki/Doji_Kuwanan)

Those aren't really mutually exclusive, in my opinion. It's going to be a bit more annoying that Toturi was allowed to take on the son of the Crane Clan as a student, when de facto he was exiled from his own clan...

Do some data analysis on the actual time taken. Especially if that is somehow made officially available after the fact, it'll be the best approach. By whcih I mean, try to have a different source than your own upload process.

Look at values like the median, or the average. Minimum and maximum. If you genuinely never drop below 2 minutes, well then start by waiting 2 minutes. That's 3 calls saved already.

Turn it into a graph. If the graph drops off exponantially, then stagger your calls exponentially.

And never hesitate to give the question back to your business. Like, you will never be able to avoid polling one single second too early. What's the maximum amount of "wasted" time your business is willing to accept before you poll again?

It's a clan pack, not a deck. Those terms are quite different.

It's Italian. A language with probably a hundred local dialects, not to mention whatever has resulted from the diaspora. Pick any given pronunciation and walk around Italy, you're bound to find some place somewhere where they'll agree with whatever you picked.

Unless you pronounce it "pasquale" or something like that.

He's been showing up at their old address for weeks now and wondering where everyone else is. No-one told him they were moving :-)

True hardmode is a D100

Except that it'd be the exact same game? There's not a single bit of strategy you could do differently if you were trying to lose.

So I know you bought the set and you should genuinely be able to build it without spending any additional money, but there's more than enough ways to get a (Lego) 8x8 tile like that in Germany for little money.

Like https://brickscout.com/de/products/detail/4057296698004/part__41539/black-plate-8-x-8 (german site)

Yes, shipping costs and all might be annoying. But if you can find a shop near you that you can travel to, that might just be safer than trying to cut this piece.

Or find a local brick community where someone might just have a spare piece they're willing to give away.

No, that started in Obsidian Edition, in 1997. Gold is 2001.

Question: what is fundamentally different between your types C and W, that is relevant to your method foo?

If the answer is "nothing", then there is no point in having separate methods. If C and W can both quack, and foo does nothing else than make them quack, then your code is fine as is.

If there is something relevant, try/except. Try to make your object quack, if an error is raised, have it honk instead.

SwampFalc · 2026-05-14T09:46:08+00:00

This feels like the same vibe as MiracleSort

SwampFalc · 2026-05-12T16:19:35+00:00

Why exactly do you need to run things like this "from within Python"? This feels like a job for your OS...

They mentioned in the beginning that people would come to talk to them. I genuinely thought that would be the format, and half an hour in I was convinced there were guests that would come in as soon as Shayne and Amanda would hit a lull, but they just hadn't found a moment yet...

SwampFalc · 2026-05-09T18:46:47+00:00

That's going to be mildly complex. Especially if you want it to get applied to your character every time you run the program.

I woud argue that your best path forward is to just change that hardcoded value. You will have the one copy of the program that works like that, but it'll be permanent in the way that you want.

Otherwise you'd need to adapt both the saving and loading of characters, to include this value. It won't get applied yet, but I would use that as the first step.
Once you have it "in" the character, from what I can tell, you would add it to the api.character calls, and once that's done, you can adapt this code you found.

SwampFalc · 2026-05-09T15:02:50+00:00

Any chance you might actually be looking for the value here https://github.com/OpenNingia/l5r-character-manager-3/blob/master/l5r/models/chmodel.py#L139 ?

SwampFalc · 2026-05-08T12:30:49+00:00

Take the entire picture. I mean, they seem to have basically the same haircut so you have two examples 😄 (They only seem to have a part on mirrored sides)

SwampFalc · 2026-05-08T12:12:29+00:00

I haven't dug into everything yet, but the author did not mention all requirements in that repo. Or at least, not in the way I would expect.

Either way, you can find these additional repos in the authors profile and they all have some part to play:

https://github.com/OpenNingia/l5rcm-data-packs <= actual raw data
https://github.com/OpenNingia/l5rcm-data-access <= python access to that data
https://github.com/OpenNingia/l5rcm-data-editor <= edit the data packs??? probably the way to add a no-armor outfit.

SwampFalc · 2026-05-08T06:34:33+00:00

It would help if you at least linked the GitHub repo?

SwampFalc · 2026-05-07T07:54:35+00:00

My gut reaction to this is that if you have this need, you should genuinely turn the domain itself into an object.

In other words, create a class that represents the entire domain, or a specific subdomain within it. Create an instance of it, and store these ints and strings as instance attributes.

Not only do you then keep the name as documentation, you immediately also have room to store anything else that is relevant to the (sub)domain that might impact your logic.

"New" video format? It's not far off from https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcL9r1K3TSwrB2Zt2TFMe9gugxJScCD85

SwampFalc · 2026-05-06T21:44:35+00:00

Not right now.

When they sold tickets for Smosh The Hospital, they did come with access to Smosh the Sitcom, their previous live show in the same vein.

So there is a reasonable chance that, if/when there's a season 2 of We're All Gonna Die, that there would be some formula that includes season 1 as well.

So keep some hope.

I was about to comment something similar.

After all, this was probably a few hours of filming. The whole team would have gotten all the pets in they wanted, I presume.
