actually, don't buy any flash memory from amazon at all since the stock is probably polluted with third party seller counterfeits
I have had a 100% success rate over the years but I only buy ones that are directly from Amazon and I only buy brands I've already heard of.

So just don't risk it to save a few bucks and you should be fine is what I'm saying.

Hmm, what have we here?
I have a guilty pleasure of reading the reviews for obvious scam flash storage.

“It’s a scam”
“It’s just programmed to say 2TB”
“2TB for 30 dollars is a scam”
“It’s fine, I right click and it says 2TB”

Is Friends of Mineral Town still worth playing? I can’t decide if I should do a run before moving on to Stardew.

Honestly yes. It was peak (handheld) Harvest Moon. Stardew Valley has a bit more to it, but FoMT has more charm, in my opinion. I wish they'd put a port on Switch.

The horse in stardew is still slow as gently caress, it's only a 30% increase.

I stopped playing Stardew very quickly on PC because of the movement speed.

Oh, but you can use items to speed up? Or the movement speed could just be decent in the first place!!!!!!!!!!

Movement speed is super slow, I wish it was like 30% faster when you run. Walking speed is glacial and makes the game way harder and no fun. Palm slam that 'auto run' button day one.

Movement speed is fine, the horse makes it trivial, and the carts and totems even more so

Also drink coffee and eat pepper poppers if it's THAT unbearable

I also purchase direct from Amazon and once got a fake SanDisk because of co-mingling, only found out when it failed and I went to SanDisk for warranty repair. Since then I run them through a utility that checks the authenticity of a card.

That said I'm buying a 200 GB from them right now because them prices, so welp

What's the deal with odd sized ad cards; i.e. 200gb? Are they just 256gb ones that couldn't make the cut?

In lots of science fiction humans undergo shocking physical transformations to adapt to generations living on other planets and stuff. It seems I'd need that to be able to play portable video games comfortably.

Don't be, the thought of playing that game without a mouse feels seems like hell. And not the good and fun hell that DOOM has, the bad hell.

I like Hyrule Warriors but I didn't think they'd put as much care (and more) in this one. Hats off to Koei Tecmo, the reviews are rolling in and they're all positive.

Love the visual style as well.

Golf Story

I'm at Lurker Valley. I've rescued the baby turtles and made friends with the big turtle. Completed the kiddie course as well as whatever side quests I could find. Where do I find a shovel? And how do I find/return the idol? I've searched everywhere and can't figure it out. Help!
