Discord is a member of Netchoice, the trade organization that's fighting these laws in the US, and they've shown up for pretty much every lawsuit since they joined. I can't say for certain[1] but I HIGHLY doubt they are doing this because they want to.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

Heya!
here's a teaser trailer my goofy game, Parent Printer Driver Simulator, about when the internet was still awesome, and when you had to fix all the dumb errors on your home computer.
Part detective game, part nostalgia simulator.

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.
Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

Relooted is not only a neat puzzle game with grand heists and a charming cast, but also a challenge to who owns and tells African history. Plus, it's one of the few games to capture Africa's diversity well, pulling artifacts from all across the continent. My review:

Relooted challenges who gets to own and tell African history
Relooted, a game about freeing African artifacts from Western museums and collections, interrogates history through sharply designed heists. Read our review.

Siri, what happens when you fire all the Black and Brown smart people from newsrooms?
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
![“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fih2jbqfmjrza7yqgbtn5phi/bafkreigs7vvyitkf77yiu4ytu3cghqyojcmfqwajzktyymakgftxmjq434@jpeg)

okay yes the Titanium Court demo is exciting and it's *much* more exciting than I would expect if you just described the mechanics to me, it'd be reasonably fun regardless but it's absolutely carried by writing
