I have two 128 gig micro SD cards for Switch use. looking to buy a 256 gig card so I don’t have to swap cards.

However a lot of amazon users complain of counterfeit micro sd cards. What stores are best to purchase from in order to have the best chance possible of genuine merchandise?

also for 256 gig cards, and higher, any difference between Sandisk and Samsung for long term reliability? Thanks.

Sandisk has issues with Android/Linux compability on Switch, so better avoid it.

The best way is to go to local electronic store and buy there.

you can generally tell by price, just check the sd card after you receive it. if it's fake, return it. amazon will refund you immediately after shipping instead of them waiting to receive it, so it's a good situation.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
