XBox console with the load screen of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Machine Games made a great and fun game with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I can't put this down and I'm taking my time doing all the side quests. Use of the journal and camera for puzzles and hints just fits. It can get challenging but doesn't feel tedious.

I hope they let him keep it in the end!

Skipping Bot Fight Mode is not possible since it is not part of their Ruleset Engine. The only option is to disable it.

Chat "resolve iss did" errors were not from my PDS but relayed from proxy. Data path is Client > PDS > api[.]bsky[.]chat (proxy) > PDS (did.json). This error was due to Cloudflare WAF blocking the api proxy lookup to /.well-known/did.json due to Bot Fight Mode.

Thanks. I'll check those out. It's hard to put this down knowing how close I am to getting things to work.

I tried that and switched to Private Browser too. No CORS message in the console - just 401s. I'm wondering if the old did:plc is cached since I am using the same handle. If I may ask, which Discord did you happen to see it-API Touchers or PDS Admin? I'll try scrolling thru them.

I get notifications that contain the DM message so that part is working.

That's interesting. I added that header to the response but there is no change. Here is the log from docker:
{"level":50,...,"name":"xrpc-server","status":401,"message":"could not resolve iss did","name":"AuthenticationRequired","msg":"error in xrpc"}

Migrated to using did:web as identifier. All but DMs seem to work. I am getting a "could not resolve iss did" error.
