Twitter’s new multicolored verification, according to Elon Musk, will go live next week

Elon Musk announced that the social network will likely roll out a new multicolored verification system next week after botching the initial launch of Twitter’s “power to the people” verification system.

According to the owner of Twitter, under this system, businesses will receive a gold checkmark, government officials will receive a grey checkmark (likely resembling the “official” checkmark it is currently testing with some prominent accounts), and the blue checkmark will be reserved for people even if they are not famous. That would imply that the new $8 per month paid plan on Twitter as well as legacy verified accounts would use the blue check mark.

Before the new verification system goes live, the company intends to manually authenticate each verification, Musk continued. Given that Twitter Blue subscribers will see a blue checkmark, it’s unclear what he means by that. Additionally, Twitter’s smaller staff will be under pressure to manually review each verification in order to prevent any spam or impersonation.

Musk added that people could have a second, very small logo to show that they are affiliated with a specific group. Additionally, that organization must confirm that the person actually works for or is a representative of them. He continued by saying that it was decided to apply the blue checkmark to all individual accounts because a person’s notoriety is a matter of opinion.

Musk suspended the redesigned Twitter Blue program earlier this month and announced that it would start up again on November 29. The Tesla CEO, however, postponed this strategy this week until “there is a high degree of halting impersonation.” It should be noted that he had never previously discussed the use of multiple colors for verification.

He didn’t say whether the distribution of the Twitter Blue revamp will coincide with the implementation of this new verification system. Currently, it’s likely that this verification restart only applies to already verified accounts, businesses, and government officials – not to paid subscribers.

Once Twitter Blue is ultimately reintroduced, Twitter will have taken another step toward eradicating spam and false accounts. Following a modification in the company’s rules last week, newly formed accounts must now wait 90 days from the date of account creation before they may subscribe to Twitter Blue.

Numerous accounts started using false identities when the new verification mechanism was first introduced by Musk-led Twitter on November 9. Twitter promptly stopped the initiative as a result. He is currently making every effort to prevent a repeat of that mayhem.

Earlier today, Musk announced that starting next week, Twitter will provide “a broad amnesty” to all suspended accounts based on the results of a vote he conducted a few days ago.

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.
