Another casualty of the UK Online Safety Act: all interactive fiction (inc traditional parser text adventures) games stored at http://ifarchive.org are currently geoblocked to UK users. IFTF folks are trying to work out a solution, but there is no clue how long that might take. IFArchive holds 30+ years worth of generally amateur/free IF games - a vast number. Including my own. Which I can't play online right now. Not that I want to but it's ironic! #interactiveFiction #OnlineSafetyAct #games

Meanwhile the intfiction forum where this might usually be discussed is still down 36 hours later, after a Linode cloud server outage. Fortunately there is still the IFTF Discord. But it's far from a great situation. #interactiveFiction #cloud
And IFComp is also likely to be affected, including the next competition opening for judging in just over a month. IFTF folk are currently urgently reviewing that. I wonder if I'll be able to play any IFComp games this year. #IFComp#interactiveFiction#OnlineSafetyAct #game#IndieGame
