Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 in ~tech
Slystuff Link ParentSlightly cynical but I wonder if this could lead to a price spike in devices too old to get iOS 26, providing that they don't backport the check to older versions via a security update.Slightly cynical but I wonder if this could lead to a price spike in devices too old to get iOS 26, providing that they don't backport the check to older versions via a security update.

Prior to age restrictions being rolled out, it was an easy way to separate out the odd channel without introducing role bloat. -

Slystuff LinkThis feature should also go a long way to help manage servers without age gating channels.This feature should also go a long way to help manage servers without age gating channels.
A new spoiler channel option. We know many communities use age-restricted channels not for adult content, but for topics people prefer to engage with on their own terms: spoilers, politics, and heavier conversations. We’re building a dedicated spoiler channel option so communities don’t have to age-gate their server just to give members that choice.

I finished this earlier today, having been gradually playing a chapter or two per session over the last couple of weeks. What at first felt like it would be a fairly straight forward how did we get to this event narrative based on the opening somethings happened tease, it ended up being a lot more with various little twists and turns and hints to them that can potentially seem obvious in hind sight. -

They recently also had a follow-up on the podcast in the wake of the Adobe animate announcement (prior to the update) which is worth a listen to in terms of how it would effect the game.

Hopefully they'll still release a separate outtakes video for the rest...From a few reports of people at the recording it sounds like even this was edited down, claims of it lasting up to an hour.
Hopefully they'll still release a separate outtakes video for the rest of the episode. Imagine there will be some great moments from later on that didn't make the broadcast.

Slystuff Link ParentFor the most part yes, but from my read of it I'd say the intended point is to check the local value proposition, compared to what the larger (mainly US focused) reviewers may say.For the most part yes, but from my read of it I'd say the intended point is to check the local value proposition, compared to what the larger (mainly US focused) reviewers may say.

- 29 games played (5 more than last year)
- 199 achievements (56 fewer than last year)
- 75/25 split between keyboard & mouse vs controller
Outside of using Fantasy Grounds, top games played were Hi-Fi Rush and Citizen Sleeper.
Otherwise the only stat that really stood out to me is apparently I played nothing via Steam that was released in 2025. All bar one every game played is listed under the "Recent" time frame of released in the last 1-7 years, the outlier being Spec Ops the Line, which I finally got around to playing this year.
Something that I've seen pondered/discussed elsewhere, but with this rumoured to have access to stores beyond the Xbox one, what that in turn means for online multiplayer access.
