Google's move to AI means traditional SEO doesn't work anymore so every big company is now desperately doing Reddit AMAs to try and get their responses ingested by the Gemini slop machine and farted out in AI summaries

Shoutout to the person that sent me a tell in #FFXIV last night telling me they've been listening to me since the #FFXI days. You have no idea how much something like that was needed right now. Take some time today and tell a creator you appreciate their content.

That feeling when you're working on making sure some stuff is backed up and you realize... Pet Food Alpha may have... skipped episode 269? We have no post for it, I have no mp3 for it... what the hell happened?! #FFXI

every single time this happens the next reporter should ask the same question. and then the next. and the next. he’s not going to cut off access. he craves attention too much for that. call his fucking bluff.

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

Phone notification: Air quality alert Me: Oh shit? *taps* Phone: literally searches "air qualtiy <town name" there's no air quality alert active! The sooner we can get rid of this AI bullshit the better man. It just doesn't work.

This weekend... has not been good for me. Car broken into yesterday, and then got some news today. (nothing life threatening) Will share more when I'm able. Please send good vibes.

Me exploring and seeing an "Occult Mimic" saying outloud to myself "lol I'm not gonna fall for that!" Right as someone runs up to it and gets aggro. Man, the SOUND I made lmao! #FFXIV

I've done so many pot FATES in North Horn that just don't give me an imp. Is there RNG in this or am I totally missing something? #FFXIV

So in my continuing development on Hymnus, I was getting models and vfx hooked up for all of the early development zones sat in #ffxi game data and.. Found an airship? I've never seen this mentioned or documented anywhere, I thought it was neat. Very different from what we finally got.

I'm so fucking Tired with a capitol 'T'

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Seeing so much AI news today "so and so made a video" "so and so got caught using Chat GPT" How are people still not realizing this shit is bad? How are people not realizing that a large portion of people will absolutely cancel them if they admit to this stuff? They're as dumb as the billionares

Hank Green noooooooooooo t.co/Ixfcxv0XTF

Insane behavior from the same company that released the PSP Go and then went "oh shit, people love their phsyical media". Lesson succfessfully unlearned!

Sony’s controversial decision to discontinue PlayStation discs is not having any impact on its business now, and it doesn’t see any negative impact in the future, either. https://bit.ly/4x8858H

This is really awesome, but that weird border they have on older gamers bothers me. I would play SO much more of this stuff if they just gave us a regular plain black border around older games.

Super Mario Sunshine coming to Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 13

These are really cool! It's such a shame that for conventions like this or PAX, that we really have no idea what kind of #FFXIV presence there's gonna be there until a couple of weeks beforehand- never really gives enough lead time to attend if you wanted 😢

"All the ff14 otakon badges for the public" by Vash2002 http://redd.it/1vb8cxp

Seeing that Need for Speed is on sale on Steam and then realizing that Underground isn't on it so why even bother

Seeing a lot of comments from people that worry about the #PSBlackout because they use their console for streaming and we are thinking, "Damn, you are so close."

Wonder Man was fucking great, what the hell Marvel???

IGN@ign.com · 6d ago

Marvel's Wonder Man TV series has been canceled and will not return for its planned second season. https://bit.ly/4fE07Nv

Hit our cap on data this month so now we'll have to pay an extra fee. Boy I can't wait for digital only consoles! Not only will we not save on the games, but we'll still get fucked by increased data usage! Bonus shoutout to... wait, FF7 Revelation might not get a physical? What the actual fuck???

Such an interesting reward from the cumulative Allied Society quest... a set of clothes with one dye channel that the people in the quest don't actually present to you and an emote from the Benchmark. #FFXIV

its been fucking me up playing FF11 a lot this year and realizing how much they keep micro dosing FF14 players into secretly playing FF11

To all Warriors of Light in North Horn right now in #FFXIV! MATH CHEAT SHEET! If your number is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37: STAND ANYWHERE BUT PRIME! If an even number greater than 2: STAND IN PRIME! Hopefully you can divide. Good luck and Hydaelyn bless

I am convinced this is a thing. I don't know how. I don't know what. But like... it's gotta be a THING. #FFXIV

Would watch

Yoshida told me at PAX in 2013 that they would "never" add Cloud and Sephiroth to #FFXIV Welp. gamerescape.com/2013/09/01/i...

Lol not having a Blue Mage update in Dawntrail, but adding PHANTOM Blue Mage in Occult Crescent is wild #FFXIV

this image is going to drive me insane

Please rememebr- if you're going to screenshot someone's article for a post, at least source it and link it. This should be a common courtesy practice for everyone.

Was able to catch some of the CCRC before falling asleep last night. Damn, @rookuri.bsky.social and @lythi.bsky.social looked amazing and were absolutely killing it behind that desk! Amazing job you two!
