We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

Honestly loving the new iPhone 17 Pro. I have never owned a Pro model before. Not entirely sold on the cost for what you get. But the camera is clearly powerful af, screen at 120hz is quite stunning, so far it just works but better, and sometimes thats good enough for me after being 5 years behind.

Atlus announced they will be holding a Metaphor ReFantazio 1 year anniversary livestream on October 10th.

The broadcast will feature a "special message"

I don't think this would be the place for a Switch 2 Edition reveal, but will be happy if proven wrong.

Alan Wake 2 on the PS5 Pro sure does look sexy! I think the Quality mode is pulling almost 60 fps with PSSR?! Incredible

I also have to echo what @gene.meme said. @erikaishii.bsky.social acting is so damn good. Emotional, powerful, but sometimes theres touches of humor and vulnerability. You can hear the development of her character.

Also shoutout to Master Yoshida and Oyuki’s actors. Best friends forever. 🥰

Waiting for Ghost of Yotei to stop being so incredibly gorgeous to look at.

Ghost of Tsushima was one of my favorite games ever. Sucker Punch decided to compete with themselves and strive for even better writing, world design, combat feel. For me, this game is near flawless 25 hours in.

EA's bombshell deal to go private could be good for investors, but bad for employees. Leveraged buyouts almost always lead to immediate mass layoffs, and more than half of EA's current cash flow will likely go toward servicing the debt.

Ghost of Yotei has no business being so fucking stunning to look at. Every inch of this game is the most beautiful Japanese scenery. Only @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social could one-up themselves in quality. 😂

@erikaishii.bsky.social ‘s acting in Ghost of Yōtei is truly powerful and impactful. Every word oozes emotion and purpose.

Also, @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social how in the hell did you make an even PRETTIER game than Tsushima?! Ray Tracing Pro setting is actual magic. This is revolutionary.
