Illustration piece to mark the 28th anniversary of Xenogears, release in Japan on Feb 11th, 1998. This was inspired by Kunihiko Tanaka's unfinished sketch of the main cast together at the end of the game

Happy 28th anniversary to Xenogears, the game that started a long saga of games and stories~✨

ok. ARE there any mare replacements with any sense (read: no public syncshell equivalent)?

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with.

Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

Digital illustration of Final Fantasy 14’s Wuk Lamat, painted in front of a lush green flowery landscape against a clear blue sky. She is drawn from the waist up and is holding her great axe in her hands, facing towards the sun with a big warm smile.

Final Fantasy 14’s Wuk Lamat won the patreon poll so here she is~

I haven’t gotten to Dawntrail myself yet but all the art I’ve seen of this lady has been amazing. Love me a big buff kitty! I bet she gives great hugs…

A screenshot of Dalamud in the settings window. Under the Look and Feel tab, you can enable multi-monitor windows to move your plugins to be shown on a different screen.

not sure how many know since it was news to a friend when i told them, but you can move dalamud windows to another screen if you have multiple monitors. it helps with stuff like gpose as many plugins are on-screen at the same time

open dalamud > settings > look & feel > enable multi-monitor-windows

As a reminder, because McIver had the temerity to attempt oversight of ICE in her own district, the regime is actively prosecuting her and threatening her with a long prison sentence. But she's not backing down.

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-.
this is also -the point of age verification-.

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

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)

Don't think I've posted either piece here yet?? Anyways have some dads too

Uhoh those the were load-bearing witches.

YIPPEE

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

Crusty compressed jpeg screenshot of 6 Facebook groups called “Bro, We Are Teens” with a few variations

me and all the other 30+ year olds in our discord servers after none of us give them our IDs and face scans

Sorry to vent on main but I'm just so sick of being a grown-ass adult online who can't openly enjoy talking about or drawing sex stuff even in completely adult spaces where all minors are completely banned just because everyone has gotta be such fascist controlling fucking babies about it

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.
