STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch
  • No, you can play them in any order. If you pick Claude as your MC in the second game the opening cinematic kinda spoils what happens in the first game but other than that there's nothing major really overlapping in the two games story-wise.

  • 06/21 Nintendo Direct MegaThread: With Announcement and links to their dedicated posts!
  • Considered one of the best in the series by a lot of people in the fandom. Had a pretty dark story compared to other games in the series, even the newer ones. To elaborate more would spoil some stuff but know there's more death and more mature themes. Probably why Nintendo is avoiding a remake. I suggest getting the translated rom and playing it. If you like Fire Emblem you'll like it for sure.

  • Reddit CEO Digs In Heels As User Outrage Engulfs Website
  • When I moved to Lemmy and learned about how federated sites like this work I realized how utterly impossible for something like what's happening to Reddit to happen. The biggest obstacle to Reddit users migrating right now is the fact that there's no equivalently sized community to move to.

    That would never be the case here. In addition to defederating like you mentioned, users not in the instance in question could easily set up an alternative community, as easy as it would be to open a new sub. Users in the instance in question could easily migrate to another instance. No need to find an alternative platform, no need to make a new account (in most cases), and no need to worry about a new community being active and well established.

    While I see downsides to the fediverse, I see some major upsides, especially in the wake of Reddit's implosion.

  • Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?
  • It's the lifecycle of social media sites. I knew when I left Digg 13 years ago Reddit would inevitably follow the same fate at some point. The problem we have now is that there are no alternatives of similar size nor established communities to replace the sites that are falling apart. Digg and Reddit were equal and provided an instant replacement of similar size for the exodus. Same with MySpace and Facebook. Now, the users of the big sites don't really have that haven to jump to and people don't want to spend the time building a new community. There is no Twitter alternative. Mastodon just doesn't cut it right now and the fact that actual companies use Twitter as an official mode of communication makes it harder to leave. Reddit is the same way. Every controversy draws users to alternatives, but nothing can match it's size.

  • So, how do we think this ends?
  • Reddit has weathered controversies bigger than the one that killed Digg. What Reddit has going for it is the fact that it's userbase is fractured into different communities and it's easier for people to stay in their own niche while ignoring the rest of the site.

  • Are all invite-only torrent sites like this?
  • The site I use has a bunch of torrents that are freeleech, that is they don't count against your ratio. Usually they were what is used to build your ratio up. There was also a points system where you earned points simply by being an active seeder, whether or not you actively uploaded anything (it went by how long you were actively seeding). You could then redeem those points for data amounts to be added to your upload. So like even if no one was actively downloading you could accumulate points just by being an active seeder and redeem them.
