When i started (20 years ago), my parents just rented a set for the first little while to see of i would stick to it, i reccomend going this route.
I also reccomend a full size kit, be it electric or acoustic vs. Just getting a simple drum pad. The feeling of a full sized kit is vastly different in my opinion.
Electric: Can be loud or can be silent to the environment around you. Light weight. Customizable digital options for sound. Can usally find a kit the is of defent quality for a decent price.
Acoustic: no volume nob and no headphone output, so consider your playing environment. Feels different than electric, hitting skins and bare metal just feels better to me in general. Looks sexy AF. Decent kits are not cheap, and cheap bad kits sound like cheap bad kits.
Hi-hat, kick drum, snare, crash and/or ride cymbal, floor tom and 1 or 2x tom-toms would be my reccomendation. Electric you will have a wider selection of sounds, seeing you can usually program them for different usage.
Edit: just wanted to add, a drum pad is still a starting point, so if thats your best option go for it! Hell, even some different sized plastic buckets is a start worth pursuing.
I haven't owned an Apple product since the ipod nano, so the only lightning cables im used too, are user owned devices, which are normally chewed up without the little side clips functioning.
I've also never had a usb-c just fallout/ feel non-secure. You'd think with the increased surface area with the usb-c ring fitting between the port wall and the center peg of the port would increases gripyness logically. Vs The single peg insert of a lightning cable.
Brother, im not claiming you complaining about a point of contention is an issue at all. Get off your high horse. We all know the game has performance issues
Also those games you listed are bing impacted by slow access times of your HDD. They just are not impacted as much as the one you are currently complaining about.
Starfield has a SSD listed as a min req for the game. You not meeting the min req WIIL cause issues.
Intel 670p nvme drve is $0.035/gb a WD blue 7200rpm HDD is $0.030/gb. Its a roughly $3-5 difference per TB.
If you really need that $3-5 bro, i can send you it lol.
What about the rest of your specs? You got a pentium 2 in that thing and 512Mb of ram or somthing sheesh? The futures now old man.
Yeah physical spinning disks haven't been relevant on mondern systems outside of cold data storage since roughly 2016. Price difference between SSD and HDD are pretty much the same up to the 1-2tb range. Its also listed in the minium requirements for the game.
Think its time for a modern storage medium my dude.
Yea its doable. Really depends on the games anti-cheat. You'd want to check each game.
Battle Eye based anti cheat games like R6S and Tarkov gave me issues last time i tried a similar setup. That was a few years back however, and with valves proton push, much of the compatibility has improved since then.
Yep i can. 30 Male Canada. Grew up in the praries just outside a small town. All we had for fun growing up besides games was old cars and dirtbikes. Currently drive a automatic however.
Oh that sucks, but also doesn't sound like the normal behaviour most are experiencing with the game. Myabe try verification of the game files. Almost sounds like somthing on your end causing issues.
Id still reccomend making a topic on the Larian forums or yo their support team. They'd likely either have more info or potential solutions for your specific issue.
Cause i had 724 quick saves when i completed my first campaign run of 64ish hours and never experienced any abnormally long load times or save file courptions.
Worst i had was a bricked long rest cutscense that i was able to circumvent via clearing any pending new dialog options in the camp before resting.
