Sure, tl;dr as I understood it:

• Person lists keyboard on Facebook Marketplace
• Gives Meta AI assistant full, ‘always-allow’ permission to handle the listing, respond to messages about it
• It accepts a lowball offer from someone, tells them to come pick it up at the seller’s house without informing seller
• Buyer shows up at the address, waits a while, gets annoyed, leaves and gives negative feedback
• Seller responds in an amusingly earnest way to the bot like ‘bro you gotta never do that’
• Meta says it’s probably seller’s fault for giving instructions somewhere
• Buyer and seller eventually make up and keep doing business

“You gotta never do that ever again” is a great line, gonna have to enter that into my vocabulary lol.

existing users who haven’t used it for six months will also be barred.

Wow, that really is awful. If I don’t use Reddit every six months I’m permanently kicked out of it? (Am I reading that right?)

I rarely go there, but when I do want to look up something I like to have the option.

(pls don’t pretend like new reddit exists, thx)

One of the worst stretches so far!

• The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
• Super Smash Bros. Melee
• Super Metroid
• Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I get why that’s so annoying. But I’m not sure why it would drive new signups here. Isn’t that more of an issue for people who don’t want to create an account?

Feels like we need a really strong Fediverse/Threadiverse search engine to fill the gap left by Reddit ending open access.

The worst is when you see something you’re curious about and ask for clarification, and they just paste your question into the LLM and paste its response back to you.

The one review I read said it’s kinda worth it:

I even picked up on things I hadn’t realized would become more important later on through this playthrough, such as the Reinford Company name-dropping or the references to Crossbell’s political situation at this narrative juncture. Replaying the story was a great refresher for me, too! It allowed me to appreciate just how much detail Falcom poured into the overall Trails narrative.

Can you enjoy this remake if you’ve already played through SC? I can wholeheartedly say yes, as replaying the story again illuminated some plot points for me in ways I hadn’t expected. From a storytelling standpoint, even the remake’s 3D graphics and voice acting help present key story reveals, shedding additional light on things.

Tho for my part, I struggle to say I’d want to spend dozens of hours replaying most story-focused JRPGs. I could imagine considering it only with my handful of favorites.

I had totally missed the news that the last part of FFVII remake wouldn’t get a functional physical edition. So disappointing! Especially in the last year of discs. Don’t see why it can’t be on 3 discs, or have been made with 2 discs in mind.

Not doing physical is a way bigger compromise to me than anything else they could have landed on.

Left the headline mostly in tact to avoid over-editorializing, but I think the idea that there was no other choice is absurd.

Yup!

Good excuse to switch banks. Every once in a while you can get some kind of sign-on bonus for the trouble too.

I thought the faces looked good, except young Zelda looked a little weird to me.

Off-topic

;)

It’s the same thing, but locally scoped. So it only reviews and modifies one file. Helpful when you want to focus on one thing at a time.

I think their point is that by and large consumers are stupid and willing to put up with almost any garbage like that. What makes you think otherwise?

Security issues for sure, that’s what I mean to acknowledge by saying it takes some level of maintenance.

But like, the feature set and UX don’t have to keep improving forever, IMO. The draw of something like this should be the community, the humans you interact with.

It’s always strange to me that software can never be complete or mature, it’s straight from ‘getting new features’ to ‘dead’. Not picking on the comment in OP, the announcement post reads like that too mostly. I get software requires some level of maintenance, but I wish we treated feature-complete as a good thing, something to celebrate.

Anyway, it was also weird to me how Tildes didn’t seize the moment with the Reddit drama a couple years ago. As I recall, they just weren’t trying to be the target of that migration. That was the first time I’d heard of it. Seems a nice place, from all my impressions of it.

It’s amazing how an appealing product can become so grotesque just by attaching Meta’s name.

Glad there’s a way to free them up.

When I was a kid, I saw my mom cut expired cards in half when throwing them away.

Ever since then, I always strategically cut my old cards into several pieces, making sure to break up the number, chip, date, name, etc. I’ll throw them away in separate trash cans and maybe wait to throw some pieces out after we take out the trash for a week.

Lol, it’s pure silliness, no one is desperately piecing cards together out of my trash. (In reality, you’d probably just find compromised cards online, or go hit someone with a wrench.)

But this headline makes me feel ever so slightly justified in my goofy behavior.

I haven’t tried it, but there’s a line in the article “Offline play is unaffected.” Does that mean there is an offline mode, or just that there still won’t be one?

Ideally I’d like to see them do a physical console release next year with the final build. But I know that has no chance. Also ideally, and probably just as unlikely, would be great if I could play it on Linux. AFAIK there’s anticheat that wouldn’t let me play online if I tried.

Nice, keep it up!

It’s clear Sony’s not changing course, but probably still good in general if the industry keeps hearing that physical media is important to people.

Better than writing angry comments is to buy physical over digital, if any of it. Don’t give a cent to their online storefronts if you don’t like that becoming the future.
