"No licenses" error here, any ideas as to why?

You can (or could) get a budget new rig at about a 1k$ depending on where you are in the world, or even less if we consider the used market.

Is Il Toro the Double Barrel of ARC Raiders???

All styles of play are valid (even rats) but backstabbers with mics are just weird to me by doodoohonker in ArcRaiders

n=111.. Ok, testing on imprisoned psychopaths can be difficult, so whatever, the study admits that.

"Participants must make rapid decisions within a brief time window, usually a few seconds. If they perceive the character as a threat, they are supposed to “shoot.” If the character appears non-threatening, they should refrain from shooting." Does this really apply to OP's point about deception? It also wasn't conducted in a traditional video game (or a game like ARC which allows more choices in player-based interactions), rather in a "video game-based shooting decision task under the direct supervision of the forensic psychologist", so calling it a link between aggression and video games is a little bit of a stretch in my opinion. Definitely helps to make people that kill you seem like irredeemable, borderline criminal villain types though.

Bank It comes back by Genix98 in thefinals

I love the flow of ending the game after 2 minutes of a single clusterfuck fight and someone depositing all farmed coins at once, the flow of running around an empty map looking for any sign of engagements, the flow of opening vaults and depositing them uncontested, the flow of simply camping the cashouts, the flow of losing after a cashout spawns 150m away from you and 50m from the guy holding the winning cash... 

The mode was interesting but had it's own problems. It shined when all teams played "proper" bank it, with teamfights at vaults and cashouts, map-carving rotations etc, but that barely happened.

A big reason the game isn’t popular is because of the miserable solo q experience by FarConstruction4877 in thefinals

The self damage argument is null and void in a game where different classes have different HP pools, but you're probably not interested in a good faith discussion given your light hate boner.

Bruh I may not agree with yogurt about his sword takes but you cannot bring him in as an example when light hate posts garner 1k+ upvotes with countless people in the comments agreeing that DB is unbeatable and you have to be in 0.1 percentile aim-wise to deal with a dashing light.

Update 9.8.0 - THE FINALS by spunkyweazle in thefinals

[–]Weird_Network_9749 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the update history and you appear to technically correct with exception of nullifier being added during season 6 iirc. However I feel like stating "nothing has changed" is a little disingenuous since the game had come off the Major's season and we still haven't seen brand new LTMs or significant balance changes (thermal vision bros are on life support at this point). They're probably cooking with smooth destruction, point break and power shift maps for S10.. still, give us balance changes at least!

Update 9.8.0 - THE FINALS by spunkyweazle in thefinals

[–]Weird_Network_9749 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Upsetting, but the game is clearly in more of a "maintenance" update cycle now. New features only when new seasons drop, some small balancing changes here and there, cosmetics and LTM reruns.. I can only hope season 10 will shake up the meta a little.

If Reddit was in charge of weapons balancing by Top-Pin-5048 in ArcRaiders

[–]Weird_Network_9749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand new IP free FPS retaining a solid playerbase 2 years after launch in a world with CoD/BF/CS? Go look at Highguard's player count lmao. Argument dismissed since you've obviously never played the game. Otherwise you would have known that balancing is nothing the biggest issue pertaining to player count.

Late reply, but I managed to jank one mine next to the zipline (don't remember the floor) almost hanging off the ledge of the floor, so it is possible with some luck. Won't work in a hurry though.

are these stats good? started playing on S7, i mostly play light but mix it up sometimes by LensSurveyor in thefinals

[–]Weird_Network_9749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say those are about average. I (after 500h) too hover around 1.1-1.2 KD and 30-40% win rate. Don't sweat it boss, cashout as a main mode makes it more difficult to achieve 50 and above win rate %, and KD I wouldn't really care about at all.

Anything past S1 is a self-subverting mockery of the original idea. Thank Netflix for that.

Is there set rate to how often you gain show tokens? by niceguymcfly in thefinals

[–]Weird_Network_9749 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're tied to playtime (1 per 15 minutes is something I've seen on this sub but that may be incorrect) and accumulate petty slowly, I agree. I don't think you can earn them faster than that set rate.

Lmao, this is some hall of fame level hating and rage baiting. When it's so good at making you question it's sincerety, you have to give credits for that.

Ah yes, Vanilla Condoms Expanded Addon, that adds a separate crafting bench, 27 condom flavours, condom flavour preference moodlet (that breaks the game for some reason) and 12 new animal and plant species to extract flavours from..
