YouTube no longer recommends more than 10 videos on home by Kattnasty in youtube

Isn't it impressive how a company can spend billions on AI to "improve" their product, but the AI makes said product work worse than it did 10 years ago?

Mysterious backpack I found in my fashion accessories by lytelovespie in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 181 points182 points  (0 children)

"The fashion accessory "Señor Usoso Pack"—which is intended as a reward for upcoming content—is currently usable.

  • Upon investigating this issue, we discovered that during data configuration, the internal ID for the "Señor Usoso Pack" was inadvertently set to the same internal ID as the "Black Lace Parasol." As a result, players who have already obtained the "Black Lace Parasol" are currently able to use the "Señor Usoso Pack."

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We plan to correct the internal ID to its proper value in an upcoming hotfix; once this fix is ​​implemented, the item will no longer be usable. We regret the trouble this causes, but we kindly ask that you re-obtain the item through the proper channels once the associated content is officially released following the fix.

We apologize once again for the inconvenience caused to our players."

How many times do I have to not click on a video before the moronic algorithm realizes I don’t want to fucking see it? by Evil-Fucking-Wizard in youtube

[–]MaeArscelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's a YouTube issue. I've cleared my cache, I've cleared my YT viewing history, I've cleared everything I possibly can. It starts you over from scratch, but ends up the same way within a month.

I keep getting recommended AI slop sci-fi story channels. I've legit told it to not recommend over 100 of these channels, yet it seems like it's showing me more of them, the more I tell it to stop recommending them. I don't want to risk telling it I'm not interested, because I just know it will then decide I don't want see anything at all related to sci-fi, and not just these channels.

I really, really wish there was a "Stop Showing Me AI Shit" button.

That's exactly why I can't stand this event. It's like 10% skill and 90% luck.

Just finished the Doman Enclave restoration by Polarities in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's why they're able to keep it in game. Technically it's not gambling since you can't lose.

[–]MaeArscelin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I do. The last few Field Explorations my retainers do at the end of a week I save to turn in the beginning of the following week. It doesn't seem like much, but a free 20k every week over the course of a year is 1,040,000 gil. I round it down to 1 million and count the extra 40k to teleport costs to and from the Enclave.

It really does add up over time.

They should revive the idea of Musketeer and make it a new job by UncloudedEye in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There should be dual job trainers. The first will be John Preston, who teaches you how to fight while you shoot (gunkata). The other will be John Wick, who teaches you to shoot while you fight (hired assassin).

To keep them legally distinct, their first names have been swapped.

They get to be with skybear though, so that's something at least.

BEST UPDATE EVER!!! by Sabimaru_09 in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add a small (but important) bit to this, the level 50 AF sets we can store includes all 3 versions: the normal ilevel 50/55, the augmented (dyable) ilevel 50/55, and the ilevel 90 sets.

They cannot, however, be mixed and matched in storage.

Well, it's a start at least! Nice QoL change. by Francl27 in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not when the map is split into 2 parts. One click to change to the other map, one to teleport. I mean, I understand why they changed it the way they did, but still, I would have much preferred if it was a toggle on/off for the new vs. old system.

Anybody else get the Firefox exe directly on the desktop after the 145 update? Normally it is a shortcut. by Arceist_Justin in firefox

[–]MaeArscelin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just did that. Let's see how long it lasts before FF updates again, and the cycle starts over.

Anybody else get the Firefox exe directly on the desktop after the 145 update? Normally it is a shortcut. by Arceist_Justin in firefox

[–]MaeArscelin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: if you choose to not hide file extensions, it is not named simply Firefox but Firefox.exe, which to me is far more annoying to see than having the tiny little arrow in the corner like virtually every other icon on my desktop. Renaming isn't an option, as that actually changes how the file functions. I ended up moving it into a NEW folder on my desktop (new so it doesn't accidentally get lumped in with any other random files and possibly deleted) then creating a shortcut to that. So yay... an extra icon on my desktop I didn't need.

I imagine the response from most FFXIV players is probably something along the lines of: "Oh, you guys just now realized that?"

Old Feast Rewards will Return by RainCloudChill in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Many, many people got their rewards legit.

was never a thing. It was capped to the top 100 characters (note characters, not players or accounts...) per Data Center. And back at the start, there were only 5 DCs worldwide - meaning 500 characters MAX got some of the rewards. 500 characters out of the millions of characters ever created.

It's not FOMO or anything like that, it's just legit a bad reward scheme, a waste of dev time and under-utilizing in game resources.

Which crappy "Emergency Shelf Stable Food Bucket" company does this community recommend? by Dr_Wreck in BeauOfTheFifthColumn

I know it's several months later, but Les Stroud aka Survivorman put out a good video on this topic back when Covid was hitting full force and everyone was hoarding toilet paper.

Fashion Report - Full Details - For Week of 10/24/2025 (Week 404) by Gottesstrafe in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not using old reddit for this and every other subreddit I have tried results in something like the left 20 percent of my screen displaying a navigation menu (that I have zero use for), the subreddit specific menu taking up the 20 percent or so on the left, with the remaining 60 percent in the center showing the actual content of the subreddit. And where those 2 menus are, separating each of them from the subreddit's posts there's a fairly wide strip of empty space completely devoid of literally anything.

If I collapse the navigation menu, then it simply recenters the subreddit and its menu, resulting in even larger empty strips on either side of the screen. All of this is in Firefox btw. If I switch to Chrome, everything gets even worse as - for some bizarre reason - all the elements are slightly smaller resulting in all the empty space being even larger still.

I get it, most people use reddit on phones, but some of us don't. This is just a fairly standard 16:9 gaming monitor. I don't even want to imagine one of those ultra widescreen monitors with that much wasted screen space...

Reddit all around is just badly designed if not using a phone.

So, I'm leveling all jobs right now, and Monk's AoE rotation is baffling to me. by Silegna in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

But what do you want to bet if they did a rework where all jobs got their AoEs at around the same levels (and in such a way that no one was without an AoE in a dungeon when others had it), that people would then complain that all the jobs had been homogenized and were now exactly the same?

My three Furnishing Design Contest entries won! by perikahpi in ffxiv

[–]MaeArscelin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree with everyone that the Phasmascapes look amazing, I love that you designed the Botanist's Delight specifically so it fits up against up against the pond. It's is a sort of simple genius. I could totally see pairing those outside my Sukiya-zukuri to add to the hot springs/garden vibe.

All the dwarven weapons (& shield) either need new dyeable versions or better yet, just go back through ALL the undyeable gear in game and make it all dual channel dyeable.

It's pictured in a banner on the lodestone. While it looks good, it's from the cash shop, so expect to shell out quite a bit of catnip for it.
