One-time pads require no machines and are unbreakable in theory, though in reality they’re a pain to set up and use so people reuse keys out of laziness, making it possible to analyze and decipher encrypted messages.
Security is only as good as its weakest link, and people are morons.
There’s a much cheaper model, the Zero, that’s good enough for messing around with and performing simple server tasks like PiHole. Even it has had its price increase multifold over the years, though only to fifteen bucks from an original price of five.
It’s also much smaller than the already tiny Pi, being able to fit in a standard orange pill bottle. Though the downside of that size is smaller and fewer ports, so you need a USB OTG adapter (preferably a hub) and micro HDMI adapter to plug things into it if you don’t want to run it headless.
Bethesda has the worst difficulty settings. If they’re going to make it a lazy enemy stat multiplier, they should copy what Metro did with Ranger Mode and make both sides deadlier and more fragile, while lowering ammo drops/increasing ammo prices. Combat becomes harder but way more satisfying, instead of Bethesda’s method where every enemy becomes a damage sponge and hard mode turns into a miserable slog.
Need to light the campfire? Prestidigitation! Also works to extinguish it.
Dropped a spoon on the ground? Prestidigitation! It’s clean again!
Lost the spoon? Prestidigitation! You have a new one for twelve seconds, long enough for a quick stir.
Forgot a spice and the flavor is off? Prestidigitation! Your meal now tastes exactly how you want it to.
Need to call the party to eat? Prestidigitation! You create a flare, the sound of a chime, or just spread the smell of cooked food around.
Left the food out too long and now it’s cold? Prestidigitation! It’s the perfect temperature again. Also works for chilling drinks (your booze hounds will thank you).
Post-meal cleanup? Done in under a minute no matter how messy the barbarian eats, thanks once again to prestidigitation.
Simple Mobile Tools (the creator of Simple Gallery, a very popular gallery app) sold out to a scummy ad company. This is a fork of the Simple Gallery app that won’t include all the telemetry and ads the new owners will inject it with.
Excellent news! Now to wait for PolymorphicShade’s SponsorBlock fork to follow suit.
“Finally, the Big Bad has been slain and the adventure is over! Time to leave the party and go back to my wife and kids!”
“… Leave?”
Ah, Pass Without Trace. A spell that ranks alongside Goodberry for outright negating entire types of challenges.
I may or may not have made my DM cry by playing a druid with those two spells in a survival campaign where the party was being hunted.
And the average damage is wrong for the peck and missing/obscured for the talons.
Brown Bear Barrage.
Or Giant Scorpion Tsunami if you want maximum pants-shitting potential.
(I could only find one CR4 large beast, the giant coral snake from Curse of Strahd, but no good spell title came to mind.)
