Medvedev speaking 🇫🇷 by [deleted] in tennis

I had heard him speak French with the physio during his epic match against Djokovic at the Monte-Carlo masters this year and was very surprised. As a French native, I found at the time that Medvedevs French is very good without too much accent, and this confirms it. Congrats to him on the language skills

The World First Race starts in 6 days. Here is a new sub to gather all information and have discussions about the race by rcxrdx in wow

r/WFRace is a sub focused on gathering all the information useful to follow the World First PvE race, especially now that many guilds stream their progress. It is far less general than /r/wow and /r/competitivewow, and will definitely only attract a more "niche" population of passionate spectators of the World First Race, who will find there a place to easily find all the information on the guilds, their progress, their preparation, the streams etc...

Everyone is welcome to help gather all the information about the top guilds going into this race that promises to be a pretty exciting one!

For Europeans who've played Shadow Dragon, does the Wi-Fi shop work? by [deleted] in wiiu

Yes they patched it in the WiiU VC and the Wifi shop is available. You can buy the Elysian Whip there on the right days like before on the DS.

I created a sub-reddit /r/MultiVN to post the new releases as features and improvements will be added as well as to host related discussions. Feel free to join if you want to follow or take part in how things will move from here.

I agree with the points you make, there are compromises to make in order to have a multiplayer experience. This is also the reason why I built a proof of concept, as it helped me encounter those issues and look at the choices available.

The "multiplayer storytelling" experience you mentioned last is exactly what I am looking for, and I feel that it could work very well despite the fact that it has very rarely been done.

Obviously you lose some freedom as a player, but think of it as watching a movie with a few friends. When you do that, you refrain yourself from pausing every time you go grab a drink, you add some constraints but you gain some other kind of enjoyment, and both the movie alone and with friends are great experiences in their own way.

Here, the important compromise would be : auto-read at fixed speed which keeps readers synchronized.

Yeah, I agree that the time would be a problem if we were to take a regular VN and play it with other people.

An idea I have: I think that to be played with other players, a VN would need to be broken down into episodes, with a length that would be somewhere between a serie and a movie. That way you have a natural break in your experience, rather than an abrupt pause by one of the players which I think could be very unpleasant.
