  • Abomination Vaults has a mimic encounter where one is pretending to be a door and the other is pretending to be a weapon rack with a nice axe on it. Gets them either way.

    You might also want to look into Rotgrind's Mimouthouse. It's exactly what it sounds like.










  • Depends entirely on where in Europe you're going - There are technically more countries where you'll be able to use German, but it's often limited to specific areas of them that are right next to Germany, so neither language is super useful for Europe in general.
    You'll have better results working on your feelings of being a dipshit who only knows one language - even if you learn a new one you aren't going to be speaking the local language for a lot of the trip, but the locals will probably speak some English, so you'll be doing a lot of communication with a mix of that and a translator app. Plenty of locals won't speak any English though, or any other foreign languages, because like you they don't have a need for a second language; neither you nor they are dipshits for not knowing how something you have never needed or used works.







  • I'm not saying the guidance is good or sensible, I'm saying that you currently have the same options as LFGSS - spend an inordinate amount of money verifying users or shut down. It explicitly calls out your solution as unacceptable, regardless of your feelings. Yes, the methods are unreasonable, yes the government wants complete control over the internet, no it's not going to make a difference when you cop your £18 mil fine. Welcome to the UK, it fucking sucks, get used to it.


  • You need to actually read the guidance, an "I am 18" checkbox isn't going to cut it.

    Stage 1: Is it possible for children to access the service or part of it? Under the Online Safety Act, ‘children’ means anyone under 18.

    You can only conclude that it is not possible for children to access your service if you are using age verification or age estimation (together known as age assurance), which prevents children from normally being able to access that service.

    [...]

    Examples of age assurance methods that have the potential to meet the above criteria include:

    photo-ID matching
    facial age estimation
    reusable digital identity services.

    Examples of age assurance methods that are not highly effective include:

    payment methods which do not require the user to be over 18
    your terms and conditions say the service is for over 18s only
