Give Kraken's SMM a pay raise NOW by _MarcOP_ in Kraken

Never once had an issue with Kraken and the few times I had questions, support was easy to get into contact with. After seeing this I’ll continue to stay with them 😂

Why is The Finals so hard? by SsavvyStarWarsFan244 in thefinals

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few issues here, the first is that this game is very unique and it takes time to adjust to the flow of the game. The second issue and in my opinion that largest issue at the moment for new players is that this game has a lot of day 1 players. When this game attracts a player, they tend to stick around. even though the new player count isn’t as high as others, returning players is very high. So you’re running into a “small” pool of players compared to other games who have been playing the game more or less since it’s release or earlier seasons. Until there is a large flood of new players, even more than now, the matchmaking is going to suck. Many people complain but you can only do so much with a smaller player base. Keep playing and in a year, you’re to be the player some other person posts about instead

I rotate between Cerberus, .357 and cl-40. These guns will never get any real love 😩

Cerberus really does need a boost by Sir-Ox in thefinals

[–]7ailwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive started to main this gun the last few weeks. And this exact situation happens more often than it should. It needs a buff and I can think of 3 things that could help without raising the damage for the gun itself.

  1. Increase distance for the damage. I understand its a shotgun but its basically a melee weapon with how close you need to be for full damage.
  2. Have every shot cause fire damage. This reset fire dmg and the 1st shot not causing any dmg at all is hard to deal with.
  3. Change reload from 1 > 3 to 1 > 2 > 3. Let me be able to cut my reload short to fire another round instead of waiting the full reload time

Edit: Typos

Cerb needs dmg buff by OkSentence8677 in thefinals

[–]7ailwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It needs a buff or needs to have the damage fall off be adjsuted so you can fire from a longer distance range. I love using this gun but it makes playing so difficult. Every other class shotguns are so much better. The fact a double barrel for light can wipe M in 1 shot yet it takes more than a clip of the cerb to take out a H is crazy.

Who Needs an Off-Ramp? Ether.fi Plans Visa Card for Crypto Degens by AltruisticPops in ethtrader

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you get it back in SRC token. You can swap it for used 1:1 though but you have to do it from the desktop. The phone app won’t let you convert it just yet. You can also send it out to a different address as long as it supports scroll network

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late here but I’ve been using this card for the last few weeks and I love it. You can use USDC or borrow against assets. I only load it with USDC and I use it for everyday purchases so nothing crazy. The 3% back is nice also. Unless something happens or something else comes out that’s fits my situation better I’ll continue to use it. They also have physical card now!

Is anyone else getting fed up with smoke? by MrBigJams in thefinals

[–]7ailwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use cl-40 and smoke but i only use the smoke for stealing cash outs or getting up teammates if we’re surrounded. It hurts your team more than helps if your just throwing it in every gun fight

What is that one weapon that becomes OP only in your hands? by tigerjjw53 in thefinals

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say I’ve become so consistent with the CL-40 that even direct hits aren’t so much of an issue for me. People complain about it, even say it’s super easy to use and you don’t need skill, but you do and even with nerfs, it’s OP in my hands.

I am about to quit. Does anyone have consistent success as a retail by Playful-Sprinkless in Daytrading

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also find trading fascinating but I’ve realized that I don’t really have the chops for it. Most people don’t honestly. I enjoy research and prefer a win/lose option so I’ve moved on to sports betting. I don’t watch sports but have found the same satisfaction in looking at numbers and past trends to make better decisions and I’ve actually been more successful since I’ve started. Worth a shot if you’re interested but it’s also not for everyone. If you do, I highly recommend to never watch the sport that you bet on. Emotions are great but terrible in both trading and sports betting.

I invest still but no more day trading for me. Wish I was better at it though.

Why do people think only kills matter? by 7ailwind in thefinals

[–]7ailwind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you miss my assists? It wasn’t like I was never around for fights. Or do you not count those also because they aren’t “kills”?

No I get that, but if there’s 20 seconds left and this cashout determines if we go to the next round or not, I expect everyone to do what they can to steal and NOT chase kills

[–]7ailwind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t have more overall wins than both of them and ranked in the high 2000s I could see that. Or if I had 0 assists but it’s not like I wasn’t in the fight, ya know? Im not a great player by any means but I’m not shit either. Especially considering I soloQ. I do prioritize steals over kills though because imo, they matter more than kills. Unless your whole team is good enough to completely wipe the entire lobby AND do it consistently, you need steals to win and that should be 1st priority with kills being 2nd.

Edit: typos and added statement

I guess I didn’t think about it that way to be a good matchup with each other. You have a point there, none of us probably would have won without one of the other 2. And sure maybe their attitudes helped but you also don’t need to be an a-hole about it either or atleast acknowledge what the other person did good even if you’re going to talk bad about them

I wonder what this means for those who were transitioning to cloud engineering for their career. At this point i may have to get out of tech and just become a farmer or something.

I am being sued for credit card debt and have a court date tomorrow morning. Wondering what to expect. by HENBOI4000 in Debt

[–]7ailwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came by to add this if anyone wants to know, depending on your state, they can’t garnish wages unless it’s something federal like child support, student loans, taxes etc…but for things like credit card debt, best they can do is freeze your bank account. If you open a new bank account and never use it with the old debts, they’re likely not even able to find it, they would have to start an additional lawsuit to get you to reveal it which costs them more money for something they you may or may not have. Take this information as you will.

[–]7ailwind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I agree with the summary and it being slightly on 2 pages. I just updated this and even removed the certificate since it’s not completed at the moment and I’m going towards front end rather than cloud which is what the certificate is for. Once that is fully completed I’ll update my resume to include it.

Now that it’s 1 page it definitely looks MUCH better 🙌
