With the implementation of the latest online safety rules in the UK, where age verification for users is now mandatory and sometimes even requires one to submit documents for official approval, surely not everyone is fine with that, and with every intention of circling around digital barricades, the Internet has all the tricks you can find, this time surrounding a guy and Discord.
You can use Death Stranding's photo mode to bypass Discord's age verification https://t.co/o9n0c0lwkI pic.twitter.com/mvYmhZZCVp

According to one Dany Sterkhov on X, he managed to skip through the first phase of “looking out for a flat face” by using the face of fellow Internet meme grandpa “Hide The Pain Harold” a.k.a András Arató but when it came to the second phase of “open your mouth please”, there are essentially no photos of the guy doing a shout or being flabbergasted, so Dany has to look for something else.
And then the Photo Mode in Death Standing gave the guy some “eureka” and sure enough, he got profiled into the “Adult” group and may now access whatever content he wants.
Looking from another perspective, it pretty much says a whole lot of positivity in Death Stranding’s Decima engine and its capability to capture and render all the details, which is further enhanced down the line for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Gotta give credit to Kojima even if the latest package delivery service game is more “movie-esque” than the first.
