Q: Should we allow questions about unreleased hardware available for pre-order?

There's been a lively discussion in chat as to whether we should allow questions on hardware specs where the information is available, and the hardware is available for purchase, but the hardware is not physically available to consumers yet. Specifically, this question: Will the “Knuckles” Index...

Anything I should change in that?

Frank

@SaintWacko A thought just struck me: all hardware gets firmware updates.

Might have to create an answer around that, though.

SaintWacko

@Frank Yes, hence "relatively" fixed

Is the question phrased well, though?

I haven't posted on meta before, not sure if there are certain protocols I should be following

Frank

I think you could mention the XBox One as one of our driving forces for disallowing unreleased hardware questions. Would balance out what aspect we're trying to change.

SaintWacko

@Frank Oh, I had meant to ask you if there was a question on the site about that

Frank

There's an answer that we point to for that. Not sure if I can find it, but I'll look.

SaintWacko

16:09

I wasn't really using consoles anymore at that point, so I'm not especially familiar with the issue

Frank

Just how many times has Microsoft announced something about the XBox One only to retract it later? — badp ♦ Oct 25 '13 at 6:07

That, and the attendant question is likely where that comes from.

SaintWacko

@Frank Were these announcements after the Xbox One was available for pre-order?

@SaintWacko I don't recall.

I just know they were majorly hyping it as a core feature.

Q: Can I copy PS4 games to USB stick(not external hdd)

So I recently bought a PS4 slim and I I have been running out of storage for new possible games. I came to ask whether I could transfer my games from my PS4 to a USB stick and not an hdd. Actually in my place, hdd cost a lot more than a 2TB usb stick. Was planning on purchasing a 2TB flash drive....

There's an article here from Sep 2013 about preorders being open.

Wait, no, that's just the release date.

But has links to be able to pre-order. So...maybe?

SaintWacko

@Frank Ah, well, I added a sidenote about it

Q: Can I upload a map of a friend to a Minecraft Realm?

Currently we are playing multiplayer with normal "hosting" when he is online, but I have been thinking of buying a realms server. However I would need to upload his map to said server as we plan to continue playing on this world. We are both on XBOX ONE but I do have access to a Windows 10 PC if...

Moacir

@Lazers2.0 I googled to know how much is a 2tb flashdrive and found out that it is mostly scam, and also there are listings that claim they are 10 Reais (With 140 shipping fee)

user15026

Bridge, there are, at most 28 days til my husband is here.

user15026

So that's a thing.

SaintWacko

@Ash 🎆

Moacir

@SaintWacko I thought this was a ship wheel

SaintWacko

16:48

@Moacir It does kinda look like that

user15026

@SaintWacko :D

MBraedley

@Ash hurrah!

Moacir

I've been looking for the minecraft Advancements, and How Did We Get Here? is for sure the hardest

Dragonrage

@Moacir which is that one? its been ages since ive played

Moacir

@Dragonrage Requirements: Have every status effect possible in survival mode without using commands or external software.

Which are, currently, 28

Dragonrage

16:56

oh, i remember that one. i worked with a few friends to get that one once

we had lots of potions we had to brew

Moacir

You took a dolphin to the end?

There is one that is drink all potions

This is not it

Dragonrage

it may have been before they added the dolphin to the end, that doesnt sound familiar

Moacir

First, find an unexplored ocean monument (such that it still contains elder guardians) that is within 1024 blocks of a stronghold. Build two nether portals: one near the stronghold's end portal, and the other near the ocean monument. Confirm that both portals lead to the same portal in the Nether, and that the portal in the Nether leads back to the stronghold.

Second, find an unexplored end city (such that it still has shulkers guarding the entrance) that is near an end gateway portal. Do not approach the shulkers, or they may accidentally attack each other while trying to attack you. Plac…

Dragonrage

but they were splash potions to add status effects

Moacir

Yea, this is the advancement before this one

This one requires a lot of things

Like having a buff that lasts 10 seconds that is caused by a shulker

Having a debuff of being withered by a wither or wither skeleton

And a buff that is swimming with a dolphin

And a debuff from an elder guardian

I mean, it is a lot

SaintWacko

17:08

@Moacir Geez lol

Unionhawk

I mean it's really just a job of transporting an elder guardian, dolphin, and wither (or skeleton) to The End

and also having a dozen or so potions

user15026

that sounds...complicated

Unionhawk

not easy but possible?

Jason Berkan

It's times like this that I'm reminded that the Minecraft game a huge percentage of people play is not the Minecraft game the developers are working on.

user15026

Hm?

> before telling your friends "you are valid" be sure to check:

Moacir

@Unionhawk I dont think it is possible to move the elder guardian

GodEmperorDune

source

there we go, ffs

Moacir

Done

GodEmperorDune

thanks

Moacir

17:50

I have to use screenshot.guru to see tweets since they are blocked here

Unionhawk

@Moacir well that debuff lasts like 5 minutes so

I'm pretty sure it's possible but not needed

Moacir

I think I am going to start a new world just for this

It has been a long time since I played minecraft

Also, I still wonder how you get the dolphin to the end city

I mea, I know that you have to throw an ender pearl thru the crystal to go there

But you would have to make a path all the way to the portal with water so the dolphin can reach the city

This is just to get both the dolphin and shulker things at the same time

Unionhawk

the wiki says 27 so idk

because yeah I do count 28

so maybe the dolphin effect doesn't count?

but then again also can you have both slowness and speed?

Moacir

@Unionhawk I think so

Two different potions

Null effect but yea

Hello!

Moacir

18:01

Hello!

Unionhawk

actually also, is there a way to get Luck or Bad Luck without commands

Moacir

Bad omen you need to kill illagers

And not go close to a village

If it required Hero of the Village it would be impossible afaik

Dagelf

Hi All, is there a way to move a post from one exchange to another?

Other than reposting, that is...?

Moacir

@Dagelf I think so but not without moderation intervention afaik

Unionhawk

mods can do it yeah

but it depends

Dagelf

18:03

I apparently asked a stats question on a math forum... O_o

The Mattbat999

Oof.

user15026

Theoretically yes, mods can, if it is on-topic and a good question for the target site and all of that (with a few more caveats I am sure I am missing)

Dagelf

Just leave it to them, I suppose?... :-D

user15026

@Dagelf flag it if you really feel it's a candidate for moving and then they'll decide

Moacir

@Dagelf You can try to flag it as off-topic and direct the-- What @Ash said ^

Q: What would happen if role blocker blocks role blocker blocking first Role blocker

Did you make it past that heading...ok. So what would happen if a role blocker (say courtesan) tries to block another role blocker such as a dire wolf while other (DW is blocking them(court) on same night. Would it bounce and do nothing, they both get message, does one over power other?

Outer Wilds is better than ever now

I wish there were new planets but also there is so much new shit to find so I'm not even mad

This is almost certainly gonna be my favourite game this year

Moacir

Oh, I thought outer wilds was epic exclusive

Half Empty

For now yeah

I really don't care that much, I've been waiting for this game for like 6+ years

Moacir

You decided to bite the bullet?

I thought you were avoiding

Half Empty

No?

Moacir

Oh, I misunderstood then

I have been misunderstanding lots of things lately

Half Empty

20:58

I haven't bought anything on the store yet until now but I'm the one who thinks Epic has a good chance at taking over the market in the next decade

Anyway, game is good

Q: I accidentally updated, but my replays are still there - why?

I have a ton of replays saved, which I wanted to convert to video before the update hits, as the new update comes with balance changes, which I would expect would make the replays from older versions unplayable. From what I understand, the replays you take after each match are simply a recording...

Dragonrage

i see meta questions i want to look at, but ive been swamped with dealing with prod issues the last two days :(

Half Empty

dude this game is scary!

Ronan

@HalfEmpty I told you

Half Empty

I am at Giant's Deep

place is awesome now

like awe-inspiring

Ronan

Yeah it's so cool

Have you checked out the crystal?

I was exploring there today

Half Empty

21:21

the comet?

not yet

Ronan

No on Giant's Deep

Half Empty

With all the ghost matter?

Ronan

Yeah

Half Empty

And the red jelly things encased in ice?

Yeah I just left there. Only thing I've seen so far

Found Feldsparr's log entry

I already know how to reach the core... but I'm gonna wait til I find the clue

Ronan

I was surprised there was no ship log about the red jelly

Half Empty

21:22

yeah me too

Wow I was trying and trying to climb out of the water at a thing I found and the rings affect gravity so I can just walk on them

the gravity here is too strong for jetpack

Neat, it's like a maze

Ronan

Have you been hit by a cyclone yet?

Half Empty

I tried to go in the big one but it wouldn't let me. They used to shoot you out into space in the old game but for now I just avoided

Ronan

I think you have to be on an island when it hits

Half Empty

oh yeah

It made it zero G. is that what happened?

I was at the crystal

Ronan

It flings it into space

Half Empty

21:24

Definitely found a puzzle now

Huh. I was on the crystal island and everything got really dark and it went Zero G for maybe 30 seconds

I assumed the storm hit me

Ronan

That sounds like space to me

Half Empty

OH it flings the entire island

RIGHT one used to do that

That's dope omg

I need to turn down my graphics a bit here i think

oo yeah ocean quality. I want high but I can't

Ronan

Trying to steer the ship under the clouds is surprisingly difficult

Half Empty

Did you go to the place on Giant's Deep with the rings you can walk on

and the 'puzzle' to solve

This is crazy

Ronan

Yup, I'm not sure what puzzle you mean though, I might have to return

Half Empty

21:28

I mean I picked up a projection stone

It's not really a puzzle

so far? There are some sweet diagrams

Ronan

Oh there are projection stones all around

Half Empty

yeah I put it in a thing and almost pooped

It like warped me somewhere

Ronan

That'll happen the first time

Half Empty

there's a diagram of like three projection stones

I think I have #1

Haha yeah I'm in space

trippy

sun's lookin pretty red I have a feeling I'm almost out of time

okay, now I found a scroll

I think I'm gonna set it to freeze time while reading dialogue, assuming that counts translating

Oh it's separate. I'll just enable all

My ship won't thrust

I guess I'll just leave it in the water

I thought I fixed it

Ronan

The damage indicators are the screen on the bottom left

Half Empty

21:36

Yeah it's fine

Might be jammed but the thrusters aren't even doing anything. I kinda left it in the water attached to one of those gravity rings

weird. they burn if I hold the match velocity button

Well, there goes the universe

I keep landing on not-landing-zones

This is definitely new

I'm having trouble tracking who is who in the translations
