I wonder how the loading screens will be, that was the main thing that kept me from Starfield.
Did UE5 help beyond “pretty”?
Are they really more reliable than NAS “grade” HDD - and a ssd cache? I always saw SSD with a max write on them, and a NAS does plenty of I/O.
Admittedly I’ve never had an SSD go bad in my computers, but for some reason I never considered them as a good enough alternative for a NAS.
Are there any data you know of the top of your head before I go searching?
Are people really doing NAS with SSD? Not just for cache?
I, myself am prepared to do it in winter in an apartment.
My discussion is not on the how, but on how you fail to perceive that not everyone is yourself. Some people are more able, others less, some have a studio apartment, others a farm. Some live paycheck to paycheck others don’t. Some have 6 people in their household others do not :)
One size does not fit all. What is easy for you, might not be for others and vice-versa.
My roof? It’s hard to burn wood when you don’t have a fireplace. In summer of course we do it outside. But with the density of a city center that means that it’s hard to store enough wood/coal to make meaningful impact on the amount of water you need to boil to cook.
In winter it would be simply counter productive to go outside and be cold to boil rice.
It’s simply easier - and safer - to have water for drinking and food for eating.
Population centers have different needs.
Well, not everyone can burn wood, or has a storage place capable of having the 2L of water per person, different people live in different places.
The 3 days is so the state can come in and help, if you live in a big city center, the requirements are not the same as if you live in a farm.
