I haven't done it and don't intend to. I do have a VPN if I felt the need to view adult content or DM someone.

I second Shark VPN, it's a great service and cheap as chips.

But how will we survive come the zombie apocalypse? And more importantly how will we look cool without a katana and wakazashi slung from our hips?

Crucible: A Solo Roguelike World-Building RPG Crucible is a solo RPG about a character being transformed by their world, and what that tells you about both them and that world.

I just backed Crucible: A Solo Roguelike World-Building RPG on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/pot...

Looks great, what game is it?

Thanks Dave, that's what we're hoping as well. She has a real flare for the OSR vibe but can so loads more - she's just getting started!

Smashing Alistair, hope you enjoy the game and the artwork

Yes please! I loved these & would dump a load of cash to have them again. A particular favourite was a golf based marble run type game a friend had, just brilliant fun. I had a few, one with a big gun and tanks, one with gangsters, some kind of slot machine and a few I don't remember too well.

Folks, go and back this Kickstarter by @potatocubed.bsky.social - and not just because my daughter @fl3shdog.bsky.social created all the art, it looks like a great game with some cool ideas and could be a great step into solo RPGS if you're looking to try that www.kickstarter.com/projects/pot...

Always interested in new Dolmenwood content.

That's a great move if you can do without video games. I don't use Windows for anything (Mac for home and work), but I do have to set up Windows machines for some of our team and it's just awful.

I get that, it's more a matter of principle than managing risk. If I desperate to use those Bluesky features I'd have to reconsider.

And if I'm desperate I cans always change my VPN location to the USA.

Just got the Age Assurance thing on Bluesky. I'm not doing it as I'm not bothered about adult content, but I will lose DMs. I think most folks who've DMd me in the past know me on Discord, so that's the way to go for now.

It's that link in my post, just click it through. Here again surfshark.club/friend/szU8w...

I avoid google where I can, but with entirely de-googling would be a huge undertaking. Maybe a project for when I retire.

We've yet to make that step in my company, but I do have something lined up with NordLayer when the time is right.

I'm using Surfshark, it's very cost effective and there's no device limit. I have a referral link for 3 months free that anyone can use surfshark.club/friend/szU8w...

Also shows how futile the restrictions are when they're so easy to work around.

I started using one a couple of months back without knowing what was coming. I have it set to UK right now, but access from the USA or elsewhere in the world is a click away.

Bravo sir, very well done!

VPNs are going to become essential bits of tech to bypass these stupid restrictions.
