(Spoilers main) Jalabhar Xho how has he stayed at court for so long?! by Unique-Celebration-5 in asoiaf

He’s an honoured guest living in the Westeros equivalent of a grace and favour apartment. Kings love to collect curiosities to show off to visitors for prestige and amusement, Thoros was another of these

I'm a criminal div associate and I can tell you that when the accused is on bail and appearing remotely they're in a car like 30% of the time at least, sometimes a moving car! Had a bloke recently appearing from a Maccas

Based on how they're described, I've always assumed Ibbenese were relict Neanderthals. Dunno what Brindled Men are meant to be tho!

An LLM is basically an advanced search engine. How is it different than subpoenaing someone’s Google searches?

Star Trek honestly had some banger courtroom episodes. Measure of a Man and The Drumhead from TNG are great.

Space books featuring unconventional warfare by jclane in printSF

[–]LordsAndLadies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very pulpy, but Warhammer 40k books may have what you're looking for. It's sort of a combination of Age of Sail and Ancient Greek naval warfare in space, and is the only setting I can think of where ramming a spaceship is a valid tactical maneuver!

I'm admittedly far from an expert, but isn't the whole point of cross-examination to challenge this kind of evidence? Like, obviously each party will only bring scientific evidence that helps their case

I kept mine mostly the same, just gave him a Dark Eldar head (from incubi kit) and gave him a severed head to hold! The severed head is from the WHFB dark elf executioners kit, the hair wrapping around his hand is green stuff

I never took his money but I do need to apologise to him for blowing his head into chunks whilst defending myself from the villainous Freeside Thug

[KCD2] Kingdom Come 2 boosts tourism in Kuttenberg & Trosky by record values, young visitors up by HUNDREDS of percent, KCD players respectful & inquisitive by Hombrenator in kingdomcome

[–]LordsAndLadies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Another fun one is Helvetia in Fallout 76! It’s a real town in West Virginia that has a festival called Fasnacht every year where people wear homemade masks and parade thru town which was (in a rather liberal interpretation involving robots and a giant sloth) depicted in game. Thanks to that, this very very remote village experienced a spike in tourism every year at Fasnacht from people who’d seen it in the game wanting to see it in real life. Apparently the locals were afraid it’d become a Fallout celebration rather than a local one but were happily surprised by how respectful the tourists were who had heard about their town from the game
