💾 Final Fantasy 14 on Switch 2 is basically a roommate

Square Enix's MMO lands on Switch 2 on August 4 — bringing 117.2 GB of install size, nearly half the console's entire built-in storage. On PS5, smart compression keeps it under 60 GB. Switch 2 gets no such deal.

🔸 All five expansions included in that 117.2 GB
🔸 Sixth expansion Evercold arrives January — an SD card is now a necessity
🔸 First month is subscription-free while servers stabilize

Square Enix now holds every size record on Switch 2. Apparently competing against themselves. The date was confirmed by director Naoki Yoshida at Fan Festival 2026 in Berlin — in full Bastion armor, as IGN reports.

🚨 Pavel Durov added to Russia's terrorist and extremist registry

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been added to the list of terrorists and extremists maintained by Rosfinmonitoring, Russia's financial intelligence unit.

Individuals on the registry are barred from interacting with media outlets, publishing information online, organising public events, and participating in elections. Financial activity is restricted to tax payments, wages, and compensation for damages.

🎮 Blade is everyone's pick — just nobody's making his stuff

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls just set a genre record: 33,233 concurrent players on Steam — edging Street Fighter 6's 2023 beta (32,787) and nearly doubling Tekken 8's (15,035).

Of the whole roster, Magick and Blade dominated — with Blade the clear favourite as an Assist pick. Fitting, given the franchise's rough shape elsewhere: Kevin Feige recently called himself a "gigantic loser" for failing to get the Mahershala Ali film made in seven years, and the Arkane-developed game faces an uncertain future as Microsoft weighs selling or closing the studio.

For now, there's Marvel Tokon on August 6. Fans are voting with their character select screen.

🔓 One missing tag, hundreds of Claude chats on Google

On July 25, a Reddit user searched site:claude.ai/share and pulled up hundreds of strangers' Claude conversations — wallet seed phrases, apparent Social Security numbers, private legal questions. The cause: a missing noindex tag. Share links were meant to be unlisted, but without that crawler instruction, any link posted publicly became an indexed page.

By July 26 Anthropic patched it, Google cleared the results. Bing is still surfacing links — and a GitHub repo has already archived 453 chats, 11,241 messages in plain text. That copy isn't going anywhere.

🔍 The FSB terrorism charge against Durov — and what it might set up

Background: Telegram's founder Pavel Durov was detained in France in August 2024 on charges that the platform enabled drug trafficking and fraud. A terrorism facilitation charge has now been added — and Durov responded by posting a profile photo of himself dressed as an ISIS fighter, the same provocation he used after the original charges.

As The Bell reports, the key question is why now. One scenario the outlet raises: the charge is a procedural step toward designating Telegram first as an extremist organization, then as "undesirable" under Russian law — a status that would effectively ban the platform and expose anyone operating within it to criminal liability.

⚽ Zidane is back — this time on the touchline

Didier Deschamps had managed France for 14 years — longer than anyone in the job — before stepping down after a 2026 World Cup semi-final exit to Spain. Big shoes. Enormous, actually.

Zinedine Zidane has been confirmed as his successor. The 1998 World Cup winner with France hasn't been in management since leaving Real Madrid for the second time in 2021 — four years away from the dugout.

The man who lifted the trophy as a player now inherits the mission of lifting it as a coach. Whether lightning strikes the same country twice is the whole question.
