Urban Dead, the long-running zombie MMORPG you can play in your internet browser, is shutting down next week, after almost 20 years due to a new UK law.
“The strongest protections in the Act have been designed for children,” an explainer says. “Platforms will be required to prevent children from accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content.”
Fuck them kids. Monitor your children’s internet access if you don’t want them seeing weird shit. Same as unsupervised access to television, books, magazines-- anything. The world is not for children.
Since the dev team is A Guy, hopefully he chooses to hand off to someone in a slightly less stupid country. Short as that list has become.
That’s why I homeschool “my kids” in a dank cellar, where they also eat, sleep, and shit. I’m saving them from “the world” /s
Seriously - it is a balancing act, and something that every parent should struggle with. You can’t protect them from everything, especially as they get older. Education is key.
One can only try, for the alternative is the hole. It’s all about establishing a healthy routine, you see: “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

Those scare quotes on “my kids” are by far the most alarming part of that sentence.

I remember being in the US Army Infantry group and using a forum to plan attacks and defenses and to get rezz’d.
