• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The hardest part of learning a new instrument is sticking with it. Learning on a pad is kinda boring, adding a barrier to playing. Learning on a drum kit is more fun but bothers everyone around you, adding a barrier to playing. Small electric drum kits are a good route, and like you said you can use headphones, but can also plug in any speaker and jam with some friends or plug in to an aux in and jam with a song. The pounding on the electric kit is still kinda loud, especially if there’s someone who lives below you, but there’s ways to insulate and minimize the floor noise.

  Also makes sure you get some real sticks, not whatever crap they include with an ekit.

  Drums are super fun and I hope you successfully get your foot in the door with whatever gets you consistently playing! Lmk if you have any questions.

  Idk much about power washers other than I’ve rented one from home depot once and it worked fine. I’m sure you could get a used one pretty cheap too.

  I have the Earasers with their case and keep it on my keychain. Super happy with them. Use them as drummer for all the rehearsals I do without my IEMS or any loud concerts I go to. Super comfortable and I can still talk to people fine with them in since they don’t muffle the sound too much.

  Just got a pair of eargasms too but haven’t put them through their paces yet, but they’re a different style of earplug that’s more substantial but might have slightly better sound. They’re also a little cheaper usually and they come with a case.

  If you get the Earasers case make sure to sinch it tight when closing otherwise it has a habit of unscrewing in your pocket.

  Ty I figured someone would point me in the right direction. On an aside, absolutely no one irl I’ve talked to has ever heard of Lemmy or the fediverse which is disappointing. I wonder how we get fediverse stuff to grow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  *if we can fund it

  I’m probably going to start donating $5 a month to the Lemmy devs (or whomever is the best to donate to) Vote with your wallet people!

  Was thinking of adding those but wanted to keep it HL specific. But yes the Portals are must plays. Pretty much perfect games. I remember watching the ending of 2 over and over because it was so dope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, I haven’t actually played HL1 but I enjoyed BM a lot, and figured it’d be the better reccomendation for someone just getting into HL.

  What parts of the atmosphere do you think BM missed? When I watched videos of HL1 gameplay it seemed that BM did a great job having a graphically updated but similar vibe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo the best enjoyment to time ratio is:

  1. Black Mesa (the Xen level at the end was redone and extended compared to in HL1 and it’s cool but if it starts to drag just move on)

  2. HL2 (main game)

  3. HL2: EP1 start it but maybe skip and watch a playthrough if you get bored

  4. HL2: EP2

  5. HL Alyx, if you can play it on a decent headset. DO NOT MOD IT TO PLAY IT WITH MOUSE/KB it will be extremely boring since it’s designed for VR

  Have fun, there’s simply nothing else like Half-Life games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Krafton acquires Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush IP from Xbox⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having recently played through Hifi Rush after the studio closed, it reads very differently when you know the characters who go up against Vandalay and Kale, the most corporate of corporations and evil CEO, are killed by a real life evil corporation.

  This is great news and even makes playing through the 1st game more enjoyable knowing we’re (hopefully) getting more!
