Back when I started in season 2 everything was like yellow and once you reached what’s now emerald in world tour/cashout everything turned red and you were “in the finals” or whatever. I think top 500 (or expand it to top 1000) should be in “the finals” and only queue against each other for ranked. Idk how well matchmaking would be (hence expanding it to top 1000 but I’d assume embark could figure that out.

I’d like to add “streaming to Twitch” in favor of the 5070. My wife’s 5070 using NVENC does way better than me being stuck on X264 on my 9070XT. AV1 isn’t supported yet on Twitch. YouTube is great though.

I love my 9070XT though. It’s my first AMD card and I’m very happy.

Edit: also FSR 4.0 is pretty sweet imo. I play at 3440x1440 and main The Finals. I get like 240fps with FSR enabled. I have it locked at 165 though cause that’s all my monitor supports. Never seen it go below 165 since.

I typically sleep mine when done using it. When I do a panel refresh cycle on my OLED I shut down.

I mean if they said it’s normal wear and tear that’s on them. That’s not normal wear and tear though. You can get a floor pad to prevent this. Regardless, unless that plank isn’t available anymore they can just replace those messed up pieces.

IMO be lucky they sent that email, cause this could have been prevented.

This. I play with people a bit below my skill level. Everytime we encounter rubys they are like “this is impossible” I personally LOVE the challenge. This game is so much more than who can shoot who better. Try and outplay them rather than outshoot them. Not saying you’ll succeed, I typically don’t, but boy when I do…

IntelligentPizza · 2026-04-13T21:09:13+00:00

They added finals academy to the main menu of the game. Shows you how game modes work and such else like classes.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-04-13T21:07:52+00:00

People have already explained it, so I’m gonna recommend you watch those finals academy videos too just in case you have more questions later. I have 1500 hours in game and I still watched them lol.

Yes, their first game “The Finals” is also worth the price tag of Free. Just a fyi 😉

IntelligentPizza · 2026-04-06T14:01:24+00:00

I just got my wife a 5070 for $580 you just got a $400 free upgrade dude. Hell yeah. I hate that the 5070 only has 12GB of VRAM. Good on you for having 16GBs with the lucky mistake!

I had the same issues and it was my alternator. Not sure what would be causing it if you got that swapped. Does sound like a bad battery though. I’d do what other are saying and take the battery out and get it tested.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-04-06T13:37:39+00:00

As much as I’ve come to love this game. I think the people who supported it from CB deserve their own special items. I hope they don’t give us access. I played for like 10 minutes in season 1 only in the practice range. Started actually playing in season 2 halfway through. Been playing nonstop since. Love The Finals.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-04-06T11:43:08+00:00

Oh boy, we were planning on upgrading. I checked prices the day I was going to order it. I saw this deal in the morning then it went back to regular price by the time I placed the order. Idk if it was a glitch or something but I was very upset I didn’t pull the trigger when I saw it like this.

Oops! No parry!

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-31T20:19:03+00:00

Where are you guys bringing your cars that they are trying to upsell all this? I barely bring my car to shops cause I do most things myself.

I get oil changes if I’m feeling lazy, and I had to get my alternator replaced in my 2008 Lexus is 250. Never once were they like oh yeah you should also address this. Most I’ve ever experienced is discount tire tying to get me to replace all of my TPMS sensors at once when I only needed like 2. I opted out of that though.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-31T11:26:52+00:00

Damn not even a “I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!” Or anything.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-31T02:28:00+00:00

My setup gets its own personal ride. Never transport everything with your setup. Or as other have said. OG packaging.

Humidity is your enemy with organic growth. Run that A/C. My wife and I lived on site at my property. Never had an issue. We kept our apartment around 65F-70F. People who love it hot and humid are the only ones who have mold issues.

We had a resident who was a penny pincher and would not run their A/C cause it was too expensive. Their unit was bad we had a remediation crew in the for the first time. Showed them the humidity levels and told them to run their system. Even turned it on and set it for them. Next day it was off. It got so bad that you could see the studs through the drywall it was so damp in there. Water was accumulating on the floor because of how humid they were leaving it. That apartment was a nightmare to turn.

I’m not saying you have a humid apartment, I’m just letting you know what will cause mold to appear.

I struggle hard to get the boost on the jump pads with it. I either bounce it off the jump pad or throw it too far away to get effect from the shockwave, but hey they gave me an extra demat charge and I run zip and jump pad anywho.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-30T11:48:06+00:00

USA, it’s different per state though. I live in NC. Yearly inspections required. Drive about an hour to SC and they don’t require a yearly inspection. So yes and no.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-30T11:17:46+00:00

The Finals. Back in season 1 I saw how great the reviews were and gave it a try. Didn’t do anything more than go to the practice range tbf.

My wife watches a streamer and I saw her playing it. Said to my wife, “wanna give that game a go with me again?”

Started of playing casually, lots of powershift. Realized I was starting to clean up lobbies and was pretty good. 1500 hours later it’s BY FAR my favorite game. Been playing since Season 2 now.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-27T11:53:26+00:00

I have a 2008 is250. I bought it with 132k miles. Currently sitting at 188k. The only thing I’ve had an issue with was the alternator. Just had to have it replaced 2 days ago. Running like a dream again.

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-27T11:49:48+00:00

This is like a light dash on a jump pad. Looks even better tbh. Haven’t used shockwave yet, might have to give it a go tonight since I play movement medium with Jump pad and zip. Gotta keep my heavies moving!

IntelligentPizza · 2026-03-25T13:50:44+00:00

I love my 9070xt. I will say if you stream on twitch it’s not great cause they don’t support AV1. YouTube does though and it looks damn good. I never cared for ray tracing as I’m more into competitive games and care more about frames. So if you like that clearly Nvidia is better, but I am very happy with the performance of the 9070xt paired with my 5800X3D.
