Early this morning, I was greeted with a notification telling me about Facebook tips on how to spot false news on the social media website. They have ten of those and they would be helpful for people who do not know or cannot tell between legit news and fake news. Aside from that, Mark Zuckerberg’s firm is also taking a look at user behavior to catch dummy accounts posting such things.

The Facebook tips on how to spot false news are spot on. The first item tells the reader to beware of headlines, especially those that are written in capital letters and have numerous exclamation marks. It is followed by warnings regarding the URL string and the source of the purported news article. Internet-savvy people and critical people, in particular, are already aware of these points. However, there are those that still get duped by websites posing as legit news sources. That is why the social media platform tells its users to trust only sources that are known to them.

The last item in the list is perhaps a very important point. It says “Some stories are intentionally false.” It is then followed by an advice that Facebook users should think well and hard about the articles they encounter. Furthermore, it followed that up by saying that they should only share credible news. Since a lot of that has proliferated and caused damage to many people, it would pay for everyone to become vigilant.

Other than Facebook tips on how to spot false news, the popular communication site is also tracking user behavior. Mark Zuckerberg’s protect and care team is putting in place protocols that would allow them to weed out bogus accounts. In fact, the team led by Shabnam Shaik has already started doing so. He said that genuine people present themselves on social media the way they present themselves outside of it. However, suspicious accounts do not follow that pattern.

This new line of defense against the proliferation of misinformation has already led to the suspension of 30,000 accounts in France alone. But of course, the California-based social media website cannot do this by themselves alone. That is why people themselves have to be aware and always keep in mind the Facebook tips on how to spot false news.

Archaeology and anthropology consume my life, but hey! I like to read and write about tech, science, and geeky stuff too.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
