Thanks - took ages but looks like it worked!
Took 4 hours and 2 database wipes to get the migration to even start properly last night, but its turned out ok!
Should be working now, with any luck!
I was like oh, I'll just sleep through this and when I wake up it'll be done.
When I saw how little it had done, I became the living embodiment of the "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" meme.
The long term plan is to get things to be a bit quicker :)

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.
Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.
How does it know about all of my tshirts?!
That's a poor take, steam doesn't set the prices. They take a cut, sure, but so does every store. The dev/publisher sets the price.
Games aren't too cheap, again the publishers set the price and I'm sure there's plenty of research that goes into that.
Im not sure what you think steam are telling publishers to do? The only rules I'm familiar with are the consumer protection rules, and the not selling a steam key cheaper than they're selling the game on steam.
I'm not sure what part of what you've mentioned is therefore a harm to the publishers? Where publishers sell their games for maximum sales is going to be based on where the users are. If another company wanted to change this then they need to focus on what makes the consumer go there. Epics idea to lock publishers into their store with big wads of cash is what is actually harmful to the pc market (and didn't work anyway).
As others have pointed out, competition here is usually dictated by shareholders which means the end user is exploited for maximum profit. One of the reason steam is so successful is that they don't have this problem.
It's also a plus for me too.

I make no apologies.

Ooh this is interesting. I never fully recovered mine after covid. Thankfully it didn't entirely go, but I still notice that it's missing sometimes l (not always a bad thing!)
It's a valid point - I'll mull over it. I'm not sure ofcom are going to download an app, but I guess we'll have to see what they actually do end up enforcing. As long as it doesn't break federation, then it's a simple removal of allowing api access to the uk users which would stop apps.
All done in nginx with geoip2. This should mean federation traffic is still allowed. The side effect of hiw I've implemented it is that apps are allowed too.
I've implemented it today, so definitely happy to see what side by side impact it has.
FYI I think apps still work (as I suspected they might with the way I was trying to set this up)
A vpn would work. Some people use one 24/7 these days if their router/device supports it.
Every time I see Kenshi in the wild I have to take a moment to praise what a great game it is. It has to be one of the first games I bought in "early access" in whatever format that was over a decade ago, and never regretted it.
For an indie dev it was an absolute achievement.
I'm hoping this is temporary and something changes and I can lift it in the near future. I'm hoping enough sites will shut down for someone with some power to take a second look at this
Haha I wouldn't dare get them confused 😅 how i wish I had an Irish passport
Doesn't it just!
Some of the wording in the guidance is the same phraseology that Age Verification companies use, word for word. Make of that what you will!
