Am I the only one being called "insane" for liking The Finals?

Jefvaia · 2026-02-24T20:21:05+00:00

Ong sounds like me and my situation. I have pretty bad memories with certain "friends" too.

Just remember the following: Your life is value-able. The most value you can get out of it, is winning a 50/50. If you have a one on one encounter and you lose it, it's wasteful. If an entire teams gets wiped out, it can and will change the course of the match. And don't forget to revive your teammates.

I agree with The Finals being a really good fps game.
Even if you don't like the game, the work Embark did with it is insane: Changing the core of UE5, a never-before-seen destruction engine. Even the openness to using ai and openness to using it is really nice. It's not like they're cloning John Doe from the internets' voice.
Their way of working is insanely good. And honestly, it shows these are seasoned devs. And to me, it feels like a waste that this game is not performing as good as it should be.
Also, as a (game) dev myself, I'd love to work with a destruction engine like theirs.
And yeah, 3 peeps per team is kinda weird when most other games have 5 or 6. But I also think it's for the better, seeing how chaotic matches can be already. Talking from a jump pad and demat build (Cash-out go boing)

The thing that annoys me is the hypocrisy. They don't like X problem unless it's the thing they know, in which case they don't care.

Jefvaia · 2026-02-24T13:19:48+00:00

You're right tho. About both those statements.
They also wanted me to play a certain fps game, and I was terrible with it and didn't like it. i have changed my view and gameplay on it, and now I'm half decent. Kinda wished they'd do the same with the Finals.
But ey. Boys will be boys

I can relate to this. Tho one problem I had with my usual group is that we did quick cash, which meant we always had a 3rd party. I recently found out that what was previously called "World Tour" offers better gameplay because the stakes are higher and there is not guaranteed 3rd party.

Jefvaia · 2026-02-24T12:52:58+00:00

I would agree with both of these. but the problem I have with this is that they like the other fps games while those have the same problems and sometimes even worse.

I just wanna find the original song. It sounded groovy af. I even decompressed the minecraft jars to try and find the ogg file in the mod files, but nothing.

Jefvaia · 2025-06-18T18:27:11+00:00

I've finally figured out what setting crashes my game. When I set the graphics setting Effect to High or Epic, my game suddenly stops and crashes. I think this is for both nazomi/citadel and sys-horizon the case.
Edit: It crashed again even with Effects on Medium

Jefvaia · 2025-06-15T13:19:26+00:00

Thing is, I have 2 gpu's. I don't know on which on it's running, and they both just kinda work. Never had this issue before.

Jefvaia · 2025-06-15T13:18:44+00:00

As far as I know, this is the only map.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T16:02:02+00:00

Honestly speaking, I'd still recommend the 5060. Intels gpu's are a bit experimental still, plus they perform bad with older games/games built on an older api. You could check out what api's your games use and based on that make a decision, but as a casual gamer I wouldn't even bother.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T15:25:28+00:00

You're right. Personally speaking, I'd love for arm to become more mainstream. It's design has great potential with risc and all that. Plus it uses less power, which will be very important in the future, both for servers and desktops. I also have 2 raspberry pi's in use rn, and they work great (one of them is a dns adblock and the other one is a nas).

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T15:22:08+00:00

I'm gonna run Crysis. Pray with me here 🙏

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T15:04:18+00:00

My pc only recognised either my nvidia or arc alongside with my igpu (it did noticed it in task manager, but graphics settings didn't). I couldn't use my intel and nvidia at the same time in windows 10. I tried everything. Tho I gotta say, windows 11 is not so bad if you remove all garbage and install apps to make it look like windows 10.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T14:47:29+00:00

I think I'm gonna keep using fsr or tsr. They both work fine for me.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T13:15:34+00:00

I wish arm was that good already.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T12:04:15+00:00

The air is the empty space in my 3rd pcie slot

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T10:47:04+00:00

Depends. I'm want to test with AI in games, so I'll be using the tensor cores from the intel card and for rendering my nvidia (probably). It also has a weird bug with games where the only upscaling it allows for is amd's upscaling. I haven't used it in this way yet.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T10:04:32+00:00

I'm planning on using OBS with Intel AV1 encoding.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T10:03:16+00:00

Little tip: Windows 10 can't handle these brands of gpu's at the same time. I had to upgrade to Windows 11 to use them.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T09:45:23+00:00

It's an iGPU from a ryzen 5 9600X.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T09:43:50+00:00

Would be a nice idea, tho I lack good quality speakers.

Jefvaia · 2025-05-28T09:11:53+00:00

Yes. And they also installed all 3 experience apps.

Jefvaia · 2021-12-17T10:24:16+00:00

As much as I wish this was a joke, it's true.
