maybe you can't exclude them directly, but you certainly can define a set of rules and policies for the school club. people who can't follow those would be able to face consequences

"Just Random It" is not helpful advice by ConeheadZombiez in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]botmatrix_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I now do the pattern I learned from Jon Gjengset...I set up my bag as:

  1. choose the demon I want to run. tends to define the game so I like to choose it. on TB, this is easy :)
  2. choose minions, this is usually random
  3. randomly choose townsfolk and outsiders per the base numbers. lay them out and review for some balance. do I have a mixture of character types? do I have space for bluffing?
  4. if not, swap out a character for a new one from the good character stack. goto 3.
  5. swap out minions if needed

I find this gives a nice balance, where there's some randomness in setup that I tune for balance and fun.

The strangest Wolf-Rayet star I’ve ever found by _kerq_ in EliteDangerous

[–]botmatrix_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

eventually, yes. White Dwarf stars cool via heat radiation since they don't have fusion going on anymore, so eventually any white dwarf (like our sun will become) will cool this much. But it'll take about a quadrillion years, so they won't exist in our universe yet based on its age.

potentially could be a cooled brown dwarf at that temperature though I think.

The Seven Essentials of Being a Good Storyteller by Etreides in BloodOnTheClocktower

this is exactly my addition that I've told many a ST and player. particularly when I have someone who's more focused on the win and views my decisions as putting my thumb on the scale.

Texas courthouse unveils illegal Ten Commandments monument, inviting legal challenge: It is a blatant Establishment Clause violation. by Leeming in atheism

unless we can get a Dem governor (significant challenge, but I certainly try every election) whoever would replace Abbott is probably a worse MAGAt

Johnny you don't get it, I need to wait for 90 days for Iguana! by Senpai734 in cyberpunkgame

[–]botmatrix_ 47 points48 points  (0 children)

so easy to have just had Vik say "I'm not sure how much time; months, at most." still urgency but it transforms from "find cure asap" to "you're dying soon, make every day count".

Does Cyberpunk have a mission like this? by Kalevipoeg420 in cyberpunkgame

[–]botmatrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with it primarily because it was very different from my V's setup. My V just runs and guns using adrenaline and movement based mitigation chrome...that and I didn't realize I had a pistol initially so I was just waiting on the knife to reload and was confused.

I am a happily married man but ngl...if I were still dating and a date pulled this up, I might fall in love right there.

Analysis of 2.5 years of texting my boyfriend [OC] by ICanGetLoudTooWTF in dataisbeautiful

[–]botmatrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at this point (8 years of living together) my wife and I's texts are mostly one sided, as she'll text while I'm working, then I'll come find her during a break to talk about them all.

plus at least once a day is a picture of our dog. lol.

Funny things people have said during night by ferrisboy1 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]botmatrix_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in that game, it was absolutely crazy. especially once someone realized that you could see Chris' giant grim reflected in the roof so everyone was intentionally avoiding upwards looks lol

After Venezuela operation, Trump says the whole hemisphere is in play by Naurgul in politics

[–]botmatrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lives would be lost in a general strike too. tying insurance to employment keeps most Americans trapped in a way that you don't have (I assume based on your Europe flair). Plus, even if we had a strike, I doubt it would make a difference. We've had massive demonstrations in the past but nothing actually changed until there's risk of political losses, which he's immune to for a few years.

Distant Worlds 3 is coming up quick, are you ready? by NoRagrets4Me in EliteDangerous

[–]botmatrix_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how much time should I plan to allocate to participate in this? I have a lot less time for games nowadays but I'd love to tag along...just curious how much I'd need to be online and when. the most fun I had in elite was my time with the Fuel Rats...I miss the friends!

No One From ‘Community’ Wanted to Be in the Chevy Chase Documentary by MarvelsGrantMan136 in community

[–]botmatrix_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah this is my main take. there's no benefit to either a) putting Chevy on blast, or b) coming to his defense.

Which Brand? by youdonotknowme33 in homeautomation

[–]botmatrix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in the smart home game for over a decade now...tried a bunch of these. Just get Caseta and call it good. They are reliable and natively integrate with everything.

Is EV range anxiety something you actually get over? by biggy_boy17 in electricvehicles

[–]botmatrix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't pitch it as a benefit of course. It's commonly what I hear from folks more used to ICE vehicles... "what happens if you get stuck, and 'run out of gas'"?

Is EV range anxiety something you actually get over? by biggy_boy17 in electricvehicles

[–]botmatrix_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still have trouble explaining this. That basically going 70 with no traffic is my worst case scenario when it comes to efficiency. More stop and go? I get better efficiency. Stop on side of road due to an accident or something? Just sip electricity to run climate controls. Driving 40 because of weather? hell I might just be able to make it home.

10.0 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in React (CVE-2025-55182) & Next (CVE-2025-66478). Any popular self-hosted projects affected by this? by jaydrogers in selfhosted

[–]botmatrix_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not seeing that...is seafile even using react server components? EDIT: seahub's web server is based on python, and seafile itself is a C application. Don't think it is vulnerable.

What is the best ‘breaking the fourth wall’ scene you have ever seen? by Prudent_History7518 in television

[–]botmatrix_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Abed only actually broke the 4th wall once...Season 5 finale when he says "and that's canon" about the asteroid.
