I'm just personally astounded that he just rolled up into a random subpost of a post that didn't directly @ him to decide to have it out with me. Hubris is an interesting thing.

Here's another fun side effect of this stupid idea:
Imagine if you will hundreds of gposers, perhaps thousands, using Brio all piling into the inn room instances. The same instances shared server-wise by Duty Finder and Housing activities. Do you see the problem yet?

Brother is out here like "I just turned off outgoing packets lol, they'll never know!"while SE's data analysts are like "gee that sure is a lot of players who are suddenly not sending any packets to the server."

I've had such a love hate relationship with plugins and modding. I love some of the more convenient things that make the game feel better to play. I hate a good majority of the visual aspect. Unfitting attire, hilariously disproportioned bodies, plastic faces...

it must suck to be a cat. you are born into this world, no one feeds you. you live a long life, but no one feeds you. you have never been fed, not once, not ever, never ever

Getting Global Age Assurance Right: What We Got Wrong and What's Changing Discord's CTO addresses community concerns about age assurance: no mass ID collection, new vendor transparency commitments, and a delayed global launch until second half of 2026.

Not quite a 'win', more like a compromise and that's IF their internal systems to verify account age without intrusiveness work. Still it's better than nothing to see we scared the CTO shitless.

ooh that one is *IS* still there. That region specifically has had so many holes.

PSA for Discord's new age verification!

If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.

Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+

It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

Just Precis things.

Yesssss! <extremely loud hooting and hollering> Congratulations to you both!

A couple of the streamers on the list have mentioned their meow recordings were done YEARS ago (four for one, I heard another was five or more) and none of them were paid for it because it was a voluntary thing. I wouldn't put it past McMuffin to not be aware of at least some of them.

I have been ready to enact angry yammerings on many people because I keep running into this. Roleplayers who just want to play house and pursue romance only and not like...tell a story are rampant. It's near impossible to find random pick up RP anymore in XIV because of this.

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)

Her accent pleases me as a NYer. Its that Harley Quinn accent but less exaggerated which is close to my own accent (when it comes out). I love it.

Probably goes without saying but I'll say it anyway so there's public record among the voices crying out at @discord.com ...if you think because I've supported for so many years that I wouldn't drop Nitro easily over this privacy breach, you're mistaken. Add another cancellation to the list.

Discord will now force everyone to verify their age or they’ll be “Teen by default” - Dexerto Discord is preparing to roll out a new Teen By Default program, introducing age assurance systems for all users on the platform.

Fuckin'....

I have never played an OSR style game but from how they've been described to me they kinda fit a niche that I enjoy with tabletop these days. Creativity and roleplay over stats and rolls sounds like big fun.

Big fan of easing friends new to the practice into it. It can be a hell of an addiction if it hits just right. My literal first introduction to tabletop was Warhammer 40K Dark Heresy...which is not new player friendly in the least. Trial by fire is rough, I was just lucky to have encouraging friends

Oh see now I'm gonna need stories of how this went LOL

I'm on a kick tonight please forgive.

Oh no I wasn't implying anything like that at all! Just being my usual self and throwing what I hope can be a little helpful or whatevs in!

I know World of Darkness basically straight up says vampire society is ubiquitous with crime. They use mundane crimes and murders to cover up vampiric activity, the higher the crime rate in a city, the better it is for vampires to make it a home. Could be possible for any vampire-containing setting.

The god machine writing the world's plot is malfunctioning because of the sheer amount of shitfuckery going on in the past...month.

I wish I could be this relaxed.
