That's, hmm... oof

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Not familiar with that, but in English, Naruto's speech vice, "dattebayo", is translated to "believe it".

Not that I'm aware.

Also, at least in my case, I use scripts to implement features on client side, like hiding posts by liking/disliking, or some redirect or similar buttons:

“Why?”

“Why not?”

With You and the Rain

Lelouch against his enemies overall come to mind, specially on the later half of the series.

Already did, and would also recommend it. 👌

The Big O would count?

...or maybe the login requirement was reactivated for everything and what I saw were the ripples of the small window it stayed active, given my test just now.

Appears to have been the solution. Tested a link yesterday night, after BentiGorlich's comment on the spike graph, and the direct links are back to being login-protected, though now feeds seem to be working.

Seems to be the case? Left an instance of Newsboat running as I went to do my chores, and just checking now, it already fetched a few communities' posts.

Though it seems concerning to me that scrappers are getting past the current protections. (Hopefully I'm not one of them, considering how much I still follow...)

(4/4) Remembered I could ask some AI to make things easier.

For kbin.earth feed, Grok says it's Cloudflare bot protection, likely because neither Newsboat or Feeder pass a valid browser agent.

For TBB, Grok for some reason had a hiccup, so asked GPT-5.4 on DuckDuckGo's AI bridge, and it said:

The problem is that the URL is not returning a valid RSS/Atom feed. It’s returning an HTML login page instead, so feed readers see a normal webpage with <form>, <input>, etc., not feed XML. That’s why one reader says “no feeds on the page,” another says “unsupported feed format,” and another says “malformed xml string.”

From the pasted page, the site is protected by login and the feed endpoint appears to require authentication or is redirecting to the login page. The presence of a CSRF token and sign-in form confirms the response is HTML, not feed data.

(2/4) Kbin.Earth's error on Feeder:

(1/4) Feeder tries to fetch info from the feed when adding it, and this error occurs for TBB:

Thought at first you meant enemies with invisible sprites like Intangr from FFVI and that one rare enemy from FFXII.

But on random encounters and turn-based combat, the mainline entries (the numbered ones) have been progressively more action-oriented and static encounters-oriented since XI afaik. Though on combat specifically, the first hack and slash (not counting non-mainline entries) afaik is XV.

But the series is pretty overarching, so if you check the non-numbered releases, or spin-offs of numbered releases, you get things like RTS (FFXII Revenant Wings), tactical RPGs (FF Tactics), souls-likes (Stranger of Paradise), hack and slash (Type-0, maybe Crisis Core), literal movies (Advent Children, Kingsglaive), etc. And whether enemy encounters are random, depends on the game too.

And lastly, feel free to crosspost the question to !finalfantasy too, so you can get more opinions. =)

I've only found smut ones, and sporadically only.

But if there are no sources for DRM-free anime, maybe worth for consumers to pressure for that. Could be a good time now that right to repair and stop killing games movements are gaining traction. =)

Oof. Quite a lot.

Not familiar with most, but makes me wonder how many of these are on physical media, sold DRM free digitally, or at least available elsewhere through streaming.
