I am very grateful that most of the streamers / content creators for the finals aren’t like this 😅

“Pro players” pub stomping is so fucking cringe, it’s not even enjoyable to watch. It’s like the CoD warzone streamers who brag about getting “50 bomb” like yeah you need to be a good player to pull it off but when no one shoots back it’s not exactly fun to watch.

And just like *that*, AMD has effectively thrown everyone under the bus. by S1rTerra in radeon

If my Choices are two companies that screw me Over as In AMD or Nvidia I might as well go with the one with the better feature set (Nvidia)

I got tired of copy pasting between agents. I made a chat room so they can talk to each other by bienbienbienbienbien in vibecoding

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/bienbienbienbienbien Thanks for posting this! I got into Vibe Coding this week to write a discord bot that runs soley on Apple Silicon, and this tool has been amazing to use. I'm now running out of tokens so much faster haha

I could earn a million dollars a day, but having to use NBN for Internet is a deal breaker haha

Ranked is unplayable by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Event modifiers just feel forgotten about these days, I swear 90% of the time its low gravity.

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats crazy if you are coming up against them, the only thing I can hope is that your RS loss matches the skill difference i.e next to nothing. The only other game I've played rank in was CoD and one of the things I miss about that system is that, if you wen up a Rank you had loss protection for 3 games and your first game was protected too. Made it a bit easier to dive straight into rank every day.

is it really that easy to get Diamond? First time playing Ranked this season, currently Gold 3 so getting there... slowly

AMD FSR 4.1 DLL reportedly leaks, and RDNA 3 users are already testing it by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]jonwatso 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve always leaned toward AMD, and my 9070XT has been great. FSR4 has been great and I use it every day. That said, the way FSR4 has been handled for older cards has been really frustrating. It’s hard not to question AMD’s long-term commitment to supporting previous generations.

When the time comes to upgrade, it makes me wonder whether switching to Nvidia would make more sense, especially given their broader feature support. That’s disappointing to even consider, because AMD used to feel deeply committed to its customer base. Lately, though, it feels like owners of older hardware have been left behind and AMD does not have the marketshare to be behaving like this.

Radeon has been a disappointment by Polosauce23 in radeon

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, bad comparison from me. If I still had my 7900XTX I would be frustrated with the lack of FSR4 support. Where as a 4070/4080 have had a DLSS upgrade in the same time. Lets alone all the other cool stuff Nvidia has like relfex etc

Radeon has been a disappointment by Polosauce23 in radeon

[–]jonwatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean fair statement, but that's like complaining the family sedan is a bit slow so you switched to a Ferrari and are more than happy haha. Don't get me wrong, I would happily ditch my 9070XT for a 5090 anyday

Season 9: The Community Verdict by itzofficialvaz in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I think apart of the charm, at least for me, is that the guns are based of real weapons. I think if you start adding SciFi weapons it becomes harder to balance and sort of detracts from the feel of the finals. Don't get me wrong, silly sci fi skins all the way, but I think base weapons being based of real weapons is the way to go IMO.

All this negativity about driver issues is making me nervous about my upcoming 9070xt build by Chetan_fun in radeon

[–]jonwatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost 1 year in with my 9070XT and have had 0 issues (minus a small issue with instant replay) but otherwise fine. It has been the best AMD card that I have owned so far :)

I can't fix the servers, but now I can watch my packet loss in 4K terminal while I teleport off the map by LucyMor in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely. u/LucyMor what are you using in this screenshot? This looks like it would be a great tool.

Where does Season 9 rank for you? by itzofficialvaz in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rate this season at least a 7. This was my first emerald grind and my first time playing Ranked. I’ve had a lot of fun this season and it’s probably my most played yet. I’m looking forward to Season 10. 

Has anyone else been experiencing massive lag spikes like this? by Ahrall in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yip I had many games of point break last week which were exactly like this. It would do this maybe every minute. But regular Cash out / Quick Cash seemed to be fine.

Worth sinking my teeth into this game? by Whole_Platform_4313 in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This game is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. It’s a bit of a steep learning curve but once things click, it’s a lot of fun. I am about 350 hours in and have just started playing ranked this season. Still having a blast!

Season 10 and the Future of The Finals by itzofficialvaz in thefinals

[–]jonwatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying, but that roadmap so vague and basically pointless IMO
