Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima (www.pcgamer.com)

The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

Do you actually need the phone or can you use a screenshot?

Also, if they're accessing Baldur's Gate 3 fan fiction, shouldn't they have used the photo mode from Baldur's Gate 3? Surely no one is more entitled to read Minthara erotica than Minthara herself.

You likely can’t use a screenshot because it’s a static image

Good thing there's tools now to make a static image move.

Pretty sure it needs a live camera to access. It's less a photo and more a video.
