I'm playing Death Stranding for the first time and I have no idea what's going on.

But it's so pretty!

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

i am seeking: a digital artist in the TTRPG space to do a few small character portraits in a particular style (think: 1920's sepia photo portrait).

can actually give a perfect example of what i want, as a prev artist did one *perfectly* but then ghosted.

willing to pay well for human work. anyone?

Some of you know this already, but I’ve been working on an MMO game called Spirit Crossing at @spryfox.bsky.social 💙

Would mean the world if you wishlist it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2321960/... Every share helps more than you think!!!
Thank you 💙

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.

Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Cranebones looks up surprised, saying. “Oh shoot! It’s Asexual Awareness week. Uh… Um…” He then switches to a more enthusiastic tone and proceeds to explain Asexuality incorrectly. “Hey guys! Asexuality is a thing! Wooooo!! Some people (like myself) were born with the ability to reproduce on our own and just kind of split into clones of ourselves.” A clone pops into frame saying, “Salutation!” Cranebones Prime responds with an “oh my…”

Cranebones Prime smiles ominously at their new clone as they say “But, because having clones is weird… we have to kill them.” Cranebones Prime stabs his clone in the neck, and blood spews out. A shot of the mountains with a red sky. Cranebones continues, “…and bury the bodies before anyone finds out.”

Cranebones Prime looks down at his hands which are covered in blood. Behind him, the sound of screaming is written in red and echos all around him. The text reads. “The blood on my hands will never come off. The screaming will never end.” A blank panel with a tiny Cranebones. Cranebones grins and gives a double thumbs up. “Now that you’re aware. Carry on and HAVE A NICE DAY!!”

Was looking through my old gallery on my iPad and found this thing I drew for Asexual Awareness Week in…2019?2020? Somewhere around that time.

I can neither confirm nor deny that this is what I mean when I say I’m asexual.

A meme of Captain Haddock from Tinton saying, "What a year huh?" Tinton replies, "Captain, It's January 3rd."

I made a simple toony horizon environment texture to figure out how to draw cel-shaded chrome. These refs might be useful to you guys too so here you go.

2025 was the year I stopped drawing for several weeks.
It's been months now since that happened, but I still freeze from time to time when trying to paint something for myself.

Don't know why, but is so much easier when I do artwork for others.

Anyways! go wash your drawing glove 🫠

I’m still trying to find a way to tell my little stories.

Bonus points if you know where this scene is from

do I know anyone who's got experience writing comics, that wants to help me with a one-or-so-page "experiment" 🤔

Ok done.

Here is a Reddit threat that explains how to disable Copilot in Windows, which I've just followed:

www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHel...

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation. "Text and image generation uses on-device AI technologies to quickly respond to requests. Turning this settings off will not affect apps and features using cloud AI technologies. Text and image generation Windows and anyone using this device can use Text and image generation.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Acá la niebla me tapó todo.

Oh boy, 4am.

What's the good in waking up so early if you can't watch the eclipse due to the heavy fog covering the sky?
It went from redish yo yellowish and I'm sleepy af.

Mine was filthy when I remembered to wash it

When was the last time you washed your artist glove?
