“Discord will listen, Discord cares”

Discord is opening in the stock market *this year*. Discord doesn’t care and soon it won’t even be up to them—it’ll be the investors making all the decisions. www.reddit.com/r/technology...

Worst of all, the dev just asks for everyone to WAIT until March? When it’ll be too late for people to move their communities? When you’ll lose access to your account unless you comply?

How many more red flags do you need??

I’m sorry but this is coping

Nothing is being walked back in the post below. It’s literally ONE dev, on Reddit, admitting that:

- the AI they’re adding to tell if you’re an adult will STILL lead to adults having to comply

- there’s a huuuuge risk with giving them your ID

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)
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!

I'm creating bespoke, by-request character assets for the winner of a monthly drawing on the Ironsworn Discord. So far, I've made a Sundered Isles FORGER asset for canny crafters of forged objects and identities, and a Starforged BEARER asset for those gifted (and cursed) with an eldritch relic.
A mockup of character asset cards, which are poker-sized cards. The first is FORGER, and reads: - You carry a relic of eldritch power. Envision its form and nature. When you make a move wielding or aided by this object, use a D8 relic die as your action die. If you roll a 1 on that die, the powers backfire; in addition to the outcome of the move, Endure Harm (-3) or Endure Stress (-3). If you are separated from the relic, this asset counts as an impact. - When you roll a 7 or 8 on your relic die, you are one with the eldritch powers of the relic. Take an automatic strong hit and +1 momentum. - When you successfully Fulfill Your Vow in a quest (extreme or epic) to free yourself of the relic, activate this ability at no cost, make a final roll of the relic die, and discard this asset. On 3–8, you embody lingering powers of the relic; improve a stat by +1. On 1–2, improve a stat by +1, but the relic leaves a mark; reduce your max health or spirit to 4. The second, FORGER, reads: - When you prepare or craft a forged object or document, roll +shadow or +wits. On a strong hit, it’s a flawless reproduction; you or an ally may reroll any dice when making a move using the forgery as leverage or proof. On a weak hit, it’s subtly flawed; you or an ally may reroll one die when making a move using the forgery. On a miss, as with a weak hit, but you waste time or resources in the process: Lose Momentum (-2) or Sacrifice Resources (-2). - When you or an ally Resupply using a forgery as payment or collateral, take +1 supply on a hit. - When you prepare forged identification, you or an ally take +2 momentum when first adopting the persona. In addition, for as long as the ruse remains undetected and relevant to the situation, increase the imposter’s momentum reset by 1.

New #ttrpg review day!

This time a look at Astroprisma by @crescentchimera.bsky.social

It's an absolutely gorgeous, tightly designed and packed-full-of-fun solo+ space exploration game that does nice things to my brain.

I love it so much.

"you should make your thumbnails easy to understand"

ok sure but have you considered building a thumbnail around (1) absurd reference that nobody but me is going to get??
