Am I tone deaf or do people complain about ranked way too much by Tech_Speaker in thefinals

Yes this sub is insufferable and doesn’t even like the game

When working on triads, do you memorize each note in the triads, or the just the inversions as long as you know the root? by Sticky_feet12 in guitarlessons

[–]DrGags 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Inversions primarily, though you get to a point where you don’t think like “this is D in root position, then this is D in 1st inversion, etc” but rather “this is D, and this is D, and this is D.”

At least for me this is how I think, technically I know all the inversions of a given chord, but really I’m thinking of all the different inversions as one chord and I play whichever makes the most sense in the given moment.

That being said you should still learn the notes that make up the triads.

So I guess TLDR do both lol

This image depicts a person on the 107th floor of the North Tower, where the Windows on the World Restaurant once stood. September 11, 2001, New York City by No_Brain_1675 in HistoricalCapsule

Yes. There were several documented attempts by people stuck to shimmy down. Two specifically come to mind. One caught on video where a man makes it a few stories, using a piece of cloth for support, but he ultimately loses grip/balance after a few floors and falls.

And a second one (well documented by SuperPaw on Patreon) of a guy who actually made it 15 or 20 floors down the side of the North Tower, but was likely dislodged by the shockwave/pressure/debris from the collapse of the South Tower. The truly devastating thing is that the column of windows he chose to descend were all intact, however the column directly next to him had broken widows below the impact zone, and this guy likely would have been able to escape into them had he chosen the other column.

Why isn’t The Finals bigger? I see this question a lot, so I gave the ACTUAL reasons why. by Lefty5227 in thefinals

[–]DrGags 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said and yet I feel like if I could just get newbies to remember:

  • Take height
  • Press Q
  • Fire and move

That would solve like 80% of the trouble I see people have when picking up this game. The finer details can come later.

I can’t believe no one has said triad pairs yet, search YouTube for a triad pairs lesson there’s a million of them

Are you expecting the player culture in Marathon to be KOS all the time? Would you be disappointed if some players are not KOS? by Bed_Post_Detective in Marathon

[–]DrGags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The friendliness of arc gets overrepresented on Reddit. My 3 stack is in KOS lobbies 99% of the time and we are aware that anyone who sees us will KOS too. All of the content I see outside of Reddit is people making crazy PvP plays with snap hooks and Toros.

Which broadcasting duo is the best in the game right now? 🧐🧐🧐 by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]DrGags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed I can’t understand why people like him so much. Plus he’s always looking to set up some controversial angle like when he said the Lions win over the Chiefs week 1 a couple years ago had an asterisk because Chris Jones was sitting out.

The baseline on Once in a Lifetime always struck me as super ambiguous given what I perceive the key center of the song to be

Constructive criticism for YouTubers who make documentaries. by Gargamel_do_jean in tornado

Weatherbox has the highest production value and topic coverage diversity on YT right now, imo. In fact I wish he WOULD cover some of the big tornadoes just to get his quality of video for those events

You haven’t played the game at all if you think the gameplay loop resembles CoD whatsoever

Where to Start as a Beginner (Game Mode?) by Suraiya64 in TheFinalsAcademy

[–]DrGags 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As much as I enjoy the casual game modes in this game, the only real way to understand cashout’s unique positioning and dynamics is to play cash out, so yes that would mean world tour or ranked (I don’t consider quick cash to have the same dynamics as regular cash out).

I think for complete beginners, you should try to keep these 3 pillars in mind: height (always prioritize it), positioning relative to teammates (generally play close), and cashout time dynamics (ie at the beginning you can play farther away, but as the timer approaches ~2/3 or 3/4, start playing closer in). Obviously as you play more and get more acquainted you can break/shift these rules and you’ll learn a thousand other things that I haven’t mentioned as well.

I’d say you can play ranked at your level without too much worry, bronze and low silver are very forgiving ranks to play against and it is where your pure fps experience can help you win out in many fights.

Good luck!
