If you are replacing it then take your bad set of snips and go to town.
If you want it back then in the absence of hot air or IR options, or even just the tip is too big you need to get a bit more creative. You can try flooding some solder in there to in turn melt it and suck it all out. Looks fairly tight though so you risk having to redo the resistors and cap (no idea what value the cap is either).
The more advanced still skill is get a fat old soldering iron that can kick out some heat/has enough thermal mass. Build a wall around the part (snipped off legs of standard through hole components will be fine) and flood it with solder such that it is molten on at least one side at a time to ease it up, clean and go from there). You might get away with the lesser option of tin said snipped off leg and put it in there, it will then get the final distance the pins to allow you to desolder it.

Thank you, managed to get it (relatively) clear after hacking at it with my flush cutters carefully for half an hour

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.+1 -

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+1 -

also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics -

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.+1

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) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

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:
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) -

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.+1
