Q: Can you run games that require a Memory Card on a PS Vita Slim or PS Vita TV without it?

LemonSome games like Project Diva f/f 2nd require a Memory Card to be inserted in the console for the game to work. Is possible to run this type of games without a Memory Card in the 2nd Generation PS Vita (Slim) or the PS Vita TV? (as both consoles should have 1GB of internal memory)

percyjacksonminecraft 2213I am making a one block skyblock that is going very well except the blocks fall off the edge when they shouldn't because a command block should tp the item to the infinity block.

Q: Minecraft running slow but resource usage is low

DakkaronI am trying to help a friend of mine get his Minecraft instance running decently. He has a workstation laptop with an i7 (3rd gen, not sure which exact model), a Nvidia Quadro K3000M, 16 GB RAM and an SSD. So hardware-wise it's not a gaming laptop but should be strong enough to work decently. In ...

Q: Changing gamerule from server console has no effect

IceFreez3rI implemented a datapack, that changes certain gamerules like mobGriefing or doInsomnia based on the preferences of the players that are currently playing on the server. The datapack works in a test world realiable, but when I put it on the server the gamerule changes have no effect. If I check t...

Q: destiny 2 cross save ps4 and pc

cosmin avadaneifor my ps4, I have the forsaken DLC, and I wanted to cross save to my pc (which has Forsaken and Shadowkeep). The question is, will I have access to the Shadowkeep missions and content if my main account is my ps4 account which doesn't have Shadowkeep?

 
3:07 PM
@SaintWacko first dose
 
When did Arqade became so hostile to good questions?
I ask a perfectly good question about the amount of endings and their trigger conditions in chono trigger, and as a result get a hostile comment on it, a downvote, as well as hostility in the answer and the answer got downvoted too...
(I already edited the answer to remove the hostility, as well as flagged the comment)
 
Arqade is full of gamers I'm afraid
4
 
I think this has been said over and over but it's worth repeating
Downvotes are not hostile
 
3:24 PM
so far, i'm not really feeling side effects other than soreness at the injection site
 
@Yuuki Yeah, it was the second dose that really knocked me on my ass
The first dose I just took tylenol for a couple days
 
Downvotes by itself are certainly not hostile, I know, I was here when this site was started and have provided a couple of the very first questions and answers.
But when you get a downvote and a hostile comment on the question, as well as hostility from an answer, it makes the site very unwelcome.
And the answer itself got a downvote too, even when it did answer the basic question.
 
But hey, you got your pity upvotes by complaining so job well done?
 
@alexanderpas The comment states "this question indicates little to no research effort", which is a valid reasoning for downvoting based on the hover-over message.
 
@Niro Yeah, that was exactly my feel on it
@Wrigglenite Now that was a bit hostile
 
3:28 PM
If the argumentation in that comment was applied strictly, we could remove most of the site. Just because it's answered in a Wiki on the game doesn't mean it's a bad question
3
 
@MadScientist Exactly my point, thank you for recognizing it.
 
@MadScientist I tend to agree with this, but I have to respect reasoning that matches up with the downvote's tooltip
 
I still wouldn't intentionally ask this kind of list question here for old games. But the argument "it's on a wiki so don't ask it here again" ist really dangerous
 
@MadScientist Yeah, that's essentially saying "We don't want to be a competitive source of information"
 
I do hate how it discourages questions on old games
 
3:32 PM
i've dithered back and forth on whether searchability should matter for questions. the fact of the matter is, seo has made it way easier to find answers for gaming questions. if you could find the answer with a quick google, pretty much the only questions you'd be able to ask on arqade would be minecraft crash reports
and i know how much we all love those
 
@Yuuki My favorite
 
The other point is that Arqade is heavily question-limited, not answer-limited like e.g. SO. So there isn't really much benefit to being overly strict with questions that don't have fundamental quality issues
 
@Batophobia I feel like the "little to no research effort" message is one of those idiosyncrasies that are caused by the incessant fetish of the administrators that every site on the entire network should follow the rules that made the original 3 so successful, even though those rules may not make sense in content
I've tried to make the case on Meta before that not every rule that makes sense for Stack Overflow makes sense for other networks (for example, Worldbuilding really does not work well if you insist that questions need to have 1 objective answer)
but, well
they take the view that if a site doesn't fit the rules set out for Stack Overflow, then maybe that site isn't a good fit for the SE model
 
And in the case of chrono trigger, little to no research would be asking if the game has multiple endings... since that fact is mentioned in the actual game manual.
 
Yea, I wouldn't mind there being a meta that clarified Arqade's stance on expected research. Like, I think this is fair to be downvoted, but asking for triggers for various endings could reasonably be acceptable. Especially if you're trying to avoid spoilers and just want to know what might be.
 
3:37 PM
You know
You're not going to change anyone's mind
 
@Batophobia Haha wow, that's a bad one
 
People vote however they want
The best thing you can do is vote however you want, too
 
@Wrigglenite But the site policy, in this case, clearly encourages voting a certain way, and that site policy is what is being discussed here
 
True, but at least we could point to a discussion of what we mean by research. After all, any question that's on-topic should be answerable by playing the game, so everything could be a lack of research
 
And people vote regardless of policy
 
3:39 PM
it's definitely a thing you can do, not sure about best
 
Votes are inherently personal
Trying to argue that the motivation for someone's votes is wrong is not productive
 
You're saying that votes are not at all colored by site policy?
 
The "I don't pay attention to voices" thing reminded me, I've just replayed Ocarina of Time, intentionally trying to be told about things rather than just going where I remember I need to go next, and I have no idea how I got anywhere in that game as a kid
 
Especially since you can't know why people vote
@SaintWacko I'm saying you can't tell others how to vote
Because votes are private
 
@Wrigglenite No one is saying you should
 
3:41 PM
It's not just votes, it's also comments which influence votes.
 
i feel like it's good to change some of these site policies regardless of whether or not that will influence how people vote
 
Maybe people agree?
 
@Ronan Man, LadyWacko tends to ignore quest text in games, and it drives me nuts
To the point of "Who's this Arthas guy?"
 
@SaintWacko which one?
 
3:41 PM
@Ronan I'm pretty sure I did it by talking to everyone, often multiple times
 
@Yuuki In WoW
 
@SaintWacko You kind of have to in OoT, the way you find about where to find the hookshot is to talk to one guy in the corner of Kakariko
 
@SaintWacko again, which one? (joking that blizzard is basically redoing the frozen throne storyline in their newest expansion)
 
Actually, talk to one guy and then pull open all the graves randomly
 
@Yuuki Oh, this was back during WotLK
Didn't realize they were redoing it lol
 
3:43 PM
Because yeah there's always a pointer to where you're meant to go next, but often it's held by random generic npc #67
 
i mean, did they play warcraft 3?
 
@Yuuki I doubt it
 
It does mean I discovered you can do the water temple before the fire temple though. I didn't realise it before
 
then that's a little more understandable that you wouldn't know who arthas is
especially if you didn't play warcraft 3 and you didn't play an undead character
 
@Ronan oh yeah, there's nothing gating water temple on megatonne hammer, is there
 
3:44 PM
@MadScientist I agree. SFF.SE actually had "it's on a wiki" as a close reason (general reference), but it eventually got removed since it was a terrible close reason that was applied really arbitrally and inconsistently.
 
@SaintWacko one of their newest trailers is almost a shot-for-shot remake of the ending cutscene for frozen throne
 
@Yuuki Man, I still need to play the last expansion
 
@ToxicFrog You need the bow in the water temple, and in the fire temple for a side path, but it means you can do fire, forest, water; or forest, water, fire
 
@SaintWacko for wow?
 
@Yuuki Yeah
 
3:45 PM
Although you're explicitly told to go to the forest temple first, then just about the other two
 
I haven't played Shadowlands
 
i dunno, i dropped because the storyline just doesn't interest me anymore
 
Yeah, I always did forest -> fire -> water, and I don't remember if that's because fire was clued more strongly than water, or if it's just because it matches the order you do the child dungeons in
 
Also, naturally I went digging, and I agree that comment was too hostile, due largely to "I don't understand why this question even needed to be asked", so I've gone ahead and deleted... just in case anyone else goes snooping and wonders what comment was being discussed.
 
@Wipqozn Thanks
 
3:47 PM
@ToxicFrog It's designed for it, I thought I got a glitch because you only get the Nocturne of Shadow cutscene after beating the water temple and entering Kakariko from the field. So if you do water then fire and just walk down the hill you don't get it
 
@Wipqozn Thanks for that!
 
@ToxicFrog The main way you find things if from Navi, she'll say things like "Doesn't Death Mountain look weird"
 
@Ronan hey listen
 
Chat is still the great resource it always was, even if the most of the old people are gone.
@Ronan hey listen

@Ronan hey listen
 
If it was still 2016 every one of those would have been starred

@Ronan Ah, 2016. A simpler time. A time when memes were memes
 
the fire had only just begun
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein we don't star things like we used to. [--gaming] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-politics] [-stars]

Q: Is asking about the plot of a game accepted here?

aminabzzSometimes we have questions about the story of a game when it's confusing for us to understand one point; and many other reasons. Can we ask these questions here?

 
so the update for pioneers of olive town has greatly improved performance, from what i can tell
to the point where i'm okay with recommending it to people now
there could definitely be some qol improvements that they could make (and i think they are making in their next update)
but before this recent update, the quality of the game was way below what i've come to expect from marvelous
 
I've just pre-ordered Cozy Grove that's coming out in a few days and it looks relevant to your interests @Yuuki
 
@Ronan ooo
and also ~ooooo~
 
I'll let you know how I find it, it seems like the kind of game you'll only know if you like it once you've played for a bit
Also has your switch turned up yet?
 
@Ronan it's currently on the way from chicago (i think)
just says "in transit to next facility"
 
4:35 PM
Ugh
 
@Ronan That caught my attention as well
 
i haven't really been looking into the switch release schedule, mostly i just pop into the eshop every week or so to check recent releases
 
@Yuuki I love to shop on the eshop every wednesday
