Right.

I genuinely like this idea, because it would allow to reach both goals.

The problem I see is that this would probably go down the same as the bodycam idea, with inconvenient recordings vanishing due to “technical issues”.

You’d need an independent third party doing life recording and delayed release. Subjectively, the US don’t have a great track record with these.

Easier idea: Just publish last week’s encryption key. Probably won’t happen because some tech supplier will lobby for a more expensive solution.

Anyone who hits enter on a dd command without triple-checking it gets exactly what they deserve.

A smart player will try to keep the owl out of LoS during most of the round, so sacrificing action + reaction for “I attack it once it comes out of cover” is the best most NPCs can do.

There is a plausible economic incentive to do this:

Reputation.

This happens less in markets with few, big sellers and lots of customers locked into long-term contracts (like ISPs), but it does happen occasionally in high competition markets where customers can take their business elsewhere easily.

Restaurants are a good example - where I live, a host might hand out a round of after-meal shots on the house to encourage a big table of uncomplicated guests to come again.

Fly-By helps against opportunity attacks, but not against readied attacks.

Which, to me, is fair, because readying attacks requires the foe to sacrifice their main action and reaction.

When I DM, I always keep the idea in my back pocket that an enemy that has been distracted by a familiar too often will ready an attack to get rid of it the next time it is in range.

It’ll still eat their action, might miss, and I telegraph it sufficiently that an attentive player might adapt their familiar’s behavior, but it’s a thing that can mix up combat and keeps players on their toes.

I don’t know about you, but to me, the fact that he showed genuine humility and willingness to step beyond his initial chauvinism (after some hands-on lessons about fighting women) had a lot more to do with that than his charm.

Games that calculate a lot of pathfinding or similar in the GPU will end in a CPU-melting stutter fairly soon when run on Vulcan.

Satisfactory is a good example or this: It quickly becomes unplayable with any halfway complex setup.

If you’ve got a Linux native version, then you’re fine.
