In my experience it can be alleviated with the help of the game’s mechanics.

For example Pandemic is a terrible game for that (it’s a good game, but completely has the default you mentioned) because all the information is public, you know what cards the other players have, and in terms of mechanics, each character has its own power, but it’s really easy to have everything in mind at the same time. So an experienced player will have a good vision of the strategy and will possibly railroad everyone.

On the other hand, games like hanabi hide some parts of the information, so a player cannot really know enough to do the strategy by themselves.

If you make the player characters very different from one another, you go in that direction as well. I know how to play my Gloomhaven character, and I mostly know what the other characters do, but I don’t know the exact actions they have, it’s too much. Same with Aeon’s End, the more the game goes on, the more different the decks end up.

So yeah, in a nutshell, there are mechanics a game can use to prevent a single player to have too much of an influence on the game

Not sure about Frosthaven, but Gloomhaven is on Tabletop Simulator, and there is an actual digital version on Steam.

discombobulate

I boot on a custom EFI app to control my dualboot (instead of systemd-boot or grub) that asks a service on my proxmox server which OS I’m supposed to boot.

Overkill, but it allows me to control my dual-boot without a keyboard in my computer (because it’s a Bluetooth keyboard so I can’t really use it in grub anyway)

Okay, but to be fair, metro 13 is not a good experience.
