So I'm upgrading my memory stick and found a 8gb lexar stick for under 40$ and thought score. Problem is the really low transfer rate ( around 400 bytes per seocond) and yes that's bytes not kilobytes. Any suggestions? If I cant fix it ill go spend the money on a Sony branded one but wanna avoid that.

Lexar are shit for any memeory, and expensive for the crap quality honestly.
You should have went with Sandisk, i've had my 8gb Sandisk for 2 years now no issues and only paid $30 for it.
Although if you rather go cheap but dependable and are CFW'd you can get a photofast dual micro sdhc to produo adapter and some cheap x2 4 gb micro sdhccards, if my Sandisk ever kills over i'm going that route,
If something goes south it's cheaper to replace a bum micro sd than it is a produo also the adapter it's self is inexpensive something like $7 on Amazon and can do up to 16gb x 2 micro sd (32gb of storage.)
EDIT: 1000th post!

Actually some Lexar sticks are faster than SanDisk and Sony. You just got a fake (or a defect, but that's like a 1:2000 chance).

It's supposed to be "if my Sandisk ever keels over", as in bending over to vomit or just to die. Grats on your millenial post btw.

Well my only other option I have available to me currently for 8 gb is a Sony Pro hg duo for 54$. In Winnipeg the memory media is for some reason really over priced it sucks. Also I've had problems with lexar microsd before with 2 different cards and they both had low transfer rates and lost memory. Sounds like future shop be getting crappy cards

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    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

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @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:
    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)

    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.
