Feeling pretty depressed and hearing voices and seeing things... I'm currently playing Fire Emblem Three Houses to distract me. So far, it's kinda helping...

I might just buy animal crossing because I think it'll be more engaging

Witcher 2 on Xbox One is painful, so I think I'm gonna stop. The graphics look like something from SNES... https://i.imgur.com/w8DTl66.jpg

Got 3 new controllers... I couldn't resist the phantom magenta one...

Omg!

[newtus]

You got Xbox???

Yup. Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS4 Pro, two Nintendo Switches (I have the launch switch and want to move to the better battery one), three 3DS XLs, one 2DS XL, about 35 game boys (because I repair GB Colors, GB Pockets, GB original, GBA SP, GBA, and micro for fun), SNES Mini, real SNES, a couple of DS Lites (some to repair, but some work fine), a hacked PS One Mini, PS2, GameCube, Sega Genesis, and N64.

I think that is about everything

Edit #1: 2 game boy micros

Partial collection:
Collection in progress - Album on Imgur

Edit #2: and yes, those are real boxes. The Game Boy Color is in a sealed box

I should check out that game. Thanks for mentioning that it's on PS4. Though, it looks like Amazon doesn't have any PS4 versions in stock, only Switch versions. At least it's on Switch though.

I'm gonna have to buy a memory card for my Switch soon, I don't have one yet and I have so many games I want to get so I'm definitely going to need one since it doesn't have much memory to begin with, will try to get a 400gb one

Is there any reason for a 400GB one instead of a 512GB one?

Since you're in NY, check this out:
SanDisk 512GB Extreme UHS-I microSDXC Memory SDSQXA1-512G-AN6MA

I know it's kinda expensive, but I think it pays itself off, especially since it supports 4K gaming (and thus, less lag/delays). Switch I think is 1080p, so it technically doesn't "need" 4K support, but the fast RW speeds are ideal.

$30 difference between 400GB and 512GB, but if 512GB is out of your budget, then yeah, 400GB would be fine. But I just thought I'd point out that there isn't a huge price difference.

I have a Lexar 128GB high speed micro SD. I just checked and it's this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lexar-128...pter/153046567

Back when I got the switch in 2017, the 128GB cards were like $100, so that's the only reason I have 128 instead of 512 or whatever. I do think that Sandisk is a better quality brand, though. But I got Lexar because all the Sandisk and Samsung ones were sold out. (Everyone buying the Switch at once and buying micro SD cards at once.)

Thanks! I'll look into this, I didn't realize there was a 512GB one

yep

I think I will upgrade to a 1TB microSD card when the price of those cards go down. They've gone from $500 to about $250 now over the span of 1 year. I expect in a few more years, when 2TB cards come out, the 1TB will be around $100 or $150.

Btw, I think B&H is the best place to buy microSD cards instead of Amazon. Some of Amazon's "expected delivery dates" for simple things like microSD cards are around April 30th! And B&H has a good price anyways. I buy lots of stuff from them, including my 2 PS4 controllers I posted earlier.

@newtus, when I have money next week I'm likely gonna buy the game coffee talk, it looks super interesting, thanks for the recommendation

I bookmarked that website so I can use it when I'm ready to buy one, a lot of times on amazon when I was looking through reviews of different SD cards I'd find a lot saying they were fake. I don't really know what that means but I'm glad I now have a reputable place to buy them since I don't know much about electronics

When people say they're "fake," they mean that some random Chinese company (or whatever) manufactured a micro SD card to look like a Samsung one, a Lexar one, a Sandisk one, etc.. The problem with those fakes is that they tend to be unreliable because they're so cheaply made. So basically, there's a high failure rate, which for you, means that you can lose all your data because the card is cheap and will stop being read by your Switch (or whatever device you put it into).

The way the card "fails" is when it gets too hot and physically burns out. (You can see burn marks on it. The shiny "gold" plating on the underside of the micro SD will turn to a dull, non-shiny brown... sometimes even BLACK.) If you're using something like a Switch, that card is being read constantly and thus gets a little warm. The amount of heat a fake card can tolerate is much less than a legit card. And if you want to see for yourself (once you get a micro SD card), just play a game on Switch for an hour, turn off the Switch, and right away open up the micro SD slot. You'll feel that the card is warm to the touch. A fake card would feel VERY hot, almost to the point it burns your fingers.

I would say that you should only buy microSD cards from places like B&H, Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart (but make sure on Wal-Mart that the item says it's "shipped and sold by Wal-Mart").

Also, Amazon has been having issues with people getting fake DualShock 4 controllers and Xbox One controllers, so I just buy from B&H or Best Buy instead. It may cost more money, but at least I know they're not fake. So I really avoid buying any kind of video game hardware from Amazon. I'll only buy games because other video game stuff is hit or miss with Amazon. Sometimes you get legit stuff, sometimes you don't.

Forgot to say...

There's an example of a fake micro SD card and what it does to your switch!
