@summer osprey is it just me or does this sound like nsfw?

[thorn nymph]

100% is. And was also spammed in another channel.

[hallow lichen]

when i see smth like this idk if to ping one mod or all of them

[thorn nymph]

Which leads me to ask, @summer osprey, quick question, do you guys get notified or CC'd with the normal Discord report function, or should we actually be pinging?

[thorn nymph]

I only go with 1 or 2 that are online, usually. I know the full-on community manager tagging is usually discouraged, unless it's like a 5-alarm fire infraction.

[hallow lichen]

how can these bots even post links, u dont see the pictures but u can still click on them which leads to the same elon musk scam

I think links were always allowed for all ranks, though it has been awhile.

Just in-general, when we submit an actual report on a post if you guys are notified. Assuming the "no" was for that, so all good! 🙂 Thanks!

[frail wagon]

No

[rustic ravine]

No indeed

I really don't fw any AI used for art forms

[dire drift]

where's the soul??? where's the love!!!!

[thorn nymph]

I've taken the approach that it's merely an expressive tool. Been hearing a lot of the input from Kevin Rose and others, and they're right, just like you would use others tools or even instruments, AI is going to give people a different kind of opportunity to build.

Same way I would build in-game worlds using dev tools.

[rustic ravine]

Is it still art if you don't have to put in any work for it

[thorn nymph]

Anyone can generate a random prompt, but crafting a decent prompt takes come creativity. And yeah, I'd say it's still art.

[rustic ravine]

Tools make things easy for us but I wouldn't say that's always a good thing

Some things are meant to be difficult and imo art is one of them, it conveys human emotion in physical or audible form and that's something that I don't think should be overruled by a machine

[thorn nymph]

Considering how much AI is used in The Finals, I'd say that's a very good thing. 😉

[rustic ravine]

Hence why I said it's not always a good thing. Sometimes it can be

[thorn nymph]

That's kind of like arguing that synthesizers are cheating. I get that it's not to the degree of AI, but it's still synthetic sounds generated through manipulation. I could go out and get a live recording of the sound of a snow storm, or I could create it with a synthesizer (like they did in The Last of Us). Getting your vision (or sound) out of your head is the ultimate goal. Don't get me wrong though, I get what you're saying.

[dire drift]

there's still a learning process with synthesizers so that makes it different imo

[rustic ravine]

I understand your points too and they are valid, but for the foreseeable future the whole AI situation just doesn't sit right with me. When I look something up and AI stops using random sources and straight up lying to my face I might start trusting/using it more xD

Next to the fact that you can just lie to it and get it to agree with you and it starts making up a whole BS story around your lie

Oh also I do acknowledge it can be a good thing (the finals as prime example) but I just don't like using it myself

Idk if I should turn hyper threading off cuz Ive heard it degrades performance. Might be the reason why spider man remastered runs so poorly for me

U know what fuck it

[shrewd venture]

Don't think it was outright confirmed

[nocturne tundra]

In 99% it makes no sense to turn off hyperthreading

You're effectively reducing your core count by 50%

[hallow lichen]

well im kinda seeing better performance in spider man remastered but i might have to test out a couple more games

nvm its the game itself i swear sometimes i have stable fps and then suddenly under 10 fps

[nocturne tundra]

Perhaps it's loading in shaders, should be stable after about 15min

factorio

almost anything tbh

gonna get inspiration from letsgameitout for that game

From The Depths
Deltarune
Noita
Rain World
Heart of the Machine
Colony Survival

[hallow lichen]

from the depths i could try, martincitopants strat would work fine

deltarune ive already played till chapter 2

the rest ive havent heard about but could give those a try

[prime ledge]

chapter 3 and 4 are out, I would 100% play them

not a game you put a lot of hours into but I think it's my favourite. so much to unpack and think about

tbh, are you even "making" when using ai for art and music, ai's doing the work

One who orders a dish from a restraunt is not a chef, they are the client

Except the chef is using trade secret ingredients and recipes but somehow gets away with it
And works for a corporation that tries to maximize profits and makes asking the chef as predatory as possible
And labels the "client" as the creator to feed their ego make them use their product more

Dunno how you'd embrace ai as a tool when you're using one that's most likely being trained off unconsented data

[lucid siren]

Willful ignorance most likely

[shrewd venture]

Not to even mention the environmental impacts and it literally gobbling the power grid

[rapid shoal]

Interesting

[eternal onyx]

I am a professional musician and in my opinion using generated music in the background for video content that is not directly related to the music it self is not negatively affecting anything.

Neither he is profiting from the music or entering copyrighted regions so I'm not really sure what you are mad about.

There are more artists on Spotify that are 100% AI bands with not a single human behind than you think so maybe hate on them first?

As an artist my self i think (at least currently) the only reason to start to dislike generative art is where it starts to compete with real artist.. well maybe i'm still ignorant so we can discuss this

[shrewd venture]

I think you, like, skipped over every talking point.
And using ai bands as an argument is misrepresenting statements and isn't topical...

[eternal onyx]

well Eve is refering to AI creative tools in general and i am responding to it

[shrewd venture]

They specifically pointed to environmental harms of ai

[eternal onyx]

You are absolutely right and NJShadow is the client all the way and there is nothing wrong about that. The music only serves as a part to fill the background of a video game gameplay

[eternal onyx]

how exactly

[shrewd venture]

Your ethos statement also has nothing to back it up.

[shrewd venture]

Here.

[shrewd venture]

And to that I can say that there's plenty of free music out there that can fit videos.

[eternal onyx]

as far as i know AI are mostly trained on NVIDIA GPUs, the only thing it physically consumes is electricity and sand (to make the chips)

[shrewd venture]

Yeah I'm not sure you know about the sheer amount of power ai uses.

[eternal onyx]

and generated music is a completely legit choice, i'm not saying that i will use any in the future in my gaming videos but right now i feel comfortable seeing others do it

[shrewd venture]

Not to mention that the biggest AI company isn't even profitable.
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/openai-now-worth-500-billion-possibly-making-worlds-126162606

[shrewd venture]

Yes, and this is an opinion.

[eternal onyx]

well all im saying from the beginning is that i PERSONALLY feel like using AI generated video behind a the finals gameplay is legally and ethically okay.

Also suno is not from open AI, if you hate open ai doesn't mean you need to hate ai as a whole

technically you could train a AI model from your pc

[shrewd venture]

The facts is that ai is

• Legally questionable and stands in a grey area, sometimes using unconsented data
• Uses a lot of physical resources that strains infastructure
• Economically presents all the signs of a bubble

[shrewd venture]

And that is not what is being argued about

[shrewd venture]

Openai was an tackle at economics, not morality or legality.

Am I talking to a brick wall? Maybe, I do need to sleep though

[frail wagon]

real

[eternal onyx]

sorry that's my problem i was trying to say that AI as a digital technology does not directly represent the immense physical consumption of resource. and that is to support the argument that if you dislike the actions of a certain company such as open ai does not necessary mean you should hate over AI in general.

[eternal onyx]

i like how you are here the entire time but didn't send anything only to refer to the most unrelated sentence in this conversation

[frail wagon]

I don’t like breaking server rules!

I support the use of ai in general. I only have an issue with it if you’re using it to generate music, art, writing, etc.

[eternal onyx]

are you referring to Rule 2: Be respectful or Rule 7: No polarizing or intentionally controversial discussions

[frail wagon]

Rule 7

[dusty kernel]

those ai bros are really desperate for attention, there is a discord challenge to use comet ai browser for 15 minutes for 5000 orbs

and by "use" i mean open it and leave it open on login screen 😂

[eternal onyx]

I agree on that. but its only when AI music is unhealthily competing against real artist it becomes a problem, and that surely exist which i mentioned previously. The ai usage we are talking about here in the beginning is using ai to generate a track behind a video where the content is not related to the music it self, lets be clear that youtube does not allow copyrighted music which in this case is most music on streaming services. the only choice is to use free licenced music, which includes copyright free music and ones that you are granted permission to, or music you created by your self. AI generated music currently maches to music you are granted permission to.

i don't think AI is a polarizing or intentionally controversial discussion, however you are indeed being a bit disrespectful in the beginning.

[frail wagon]

I just think it’s funny that Suno trained their AI on copyrighted material.

[eternal onyx]

i only used chat gpt and gemini for basic information and coding help, all im saying here is i dont think NJshadow's use of ai music is a completely misstep

[dusty kernel]

and that is what AI should be for, usage of AI beyond that should be illegal

especially if you use it to make profits

[eternal onyx]

i wish thats true tbh, makes things easier. i'm glad to see platforms such as pixiv or art station have developed ai related rules now.

[fierce sail]

AI as an assist tool and not a replacement

[eternal onyx]

spotify's ai problem is the worst in the music industry.

please read my writing if you want to argue because i think i made my stand point clear enough.

also i am a music artist and i never used ai in any of my creative process and probably never will.

[eternal onyx]

i just researched and this is a valid point, sorry for my ignorance about this.

[rustic ravine]

What program do you use?

[eternal onyx]

Previously logic pro, ableton and cubase right now.

[rustic ravine]

What do you think of the ol' FL studio

Been interested in getting into music on the side recently so wondering what softwares I could/should look at

[eternal onyx]

Very few professional producers use fl studio, most are hiphop producers, it is a very capable and reliable software don't get me wrong, the reason is the design of fl studio is build best for edm and hiphop so it is a bit different comparing to traditional DAW workflows.

[eternal onyx]

what type of music are you interested in? rightnow in 2025 i wouldn't recommend starting with flstudio, i could elaborate more if you are interested. other than that, you could say that the most popular DAWs out there are all industry standard. logic pro (mac exclusive) is the easiest to start with, good for both composition and production, if you use a mac its a consideration. Ableton is the best for electronic music, music production, not so good for composition and this is where Cubase comes in, it is the most capable where it has the most features but is the hardest to learn and master.

Ableton has a free version, garage band is the free version of logic pro, and cubase i believe also offer a free version.

honestly after using fl studio, logic, ableton, and cubase i would recommend ableton, their stock instrument and plugins are the best in quality right now. and the design is very intuitive

@shrewd venture i just searched about specifically suno ai again and i got to say you are right, there are real cases of musicians getting copyright claims because their music is involved in ai training without consent. this changed my perspective about the situation.

[gleaming ether]

+1 for ableton, but i haven't used a lot of different DAWS.
i just remember how disorienting/confusing i find working with FL Studio compared to Ableton. but obviously that's a "getting used to" thing

[rustic ravine]

Drum n bass

[eternal onyx]

then i would absolutely recommend ableton

[rustic ravine]

I'll look into it

[eternal onyx]

oh sorry ableton lite is the "free" version of ableton but it usually comes with hardware instrument purchases. i actually have a instrument that comes with ableton lite maybe i can try send you that and see if it registers

@rustic ravine

[rustic ravine]

I'm stuffing my mouth with tuna rn hold on a minute xD

[rustic ravine]

Alright so you mean like it's a code for a download?

[eternal onyx]

its a serial number, it comes with a small keyboard i purchased last year, because i already have ableton i didn't use it

i can send it to you and you'll be able to use ableton

*lite

[rustic ravine]

If you don't mind, that would be awesome

i feel compelled to share this synth lol. damn time flies.

[eternal onyx]

wow this is so cool

i'll look further into it maybe i'll buy it some day

[eternal onyx]

@frail wagon@shrewd ventureSorry guys when i was trying to arguing i obviously don't have enough idea about what's going on recently with generative AI models relating to both visual and music. My claims would only be reasonable if suno is using 100% copy right free music. but clearly this is not the case. I also texted some of my producer friends and they also informed me with issues relating to AI copyright violation from unconsented data gathering. apologies for my ignorance.

I also just watched through two videos specifically talking about the problems in AI music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkAORPiaEA&t=246s AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXLRTjk9Jk if any one is also interested

sorry i shouldn't start arguing without recent knowledge and thank you for motivating me to look this up:)

[lethal silo]

it’s not hard to imagine humans themselves going out of their way to recreate already existing works in order to feed to an AI ethically. there is a term for this i think already in use for getting around patents. white walling or something i can’t remember. it’s something they should be pushed to do frankly versus how it is now.

that’s kind of vague but hard to convey maybe. i just can see it as definitely possible.

the idea let’s say is i Soc study painting for 4x years and create my own legitimate pieces of art based on whoever i studied and my own mind. but then turns around and sells it to AI for infinite money or something. or music etc.

i could see a very young person being offered this as a deal almost.

[eternal onyx]

this sounds dystopian af, though i could even assume that it is already happening.

[lethal silo]

truly lol

i personally just want to see a working ontology of the human brain… assuming that is an eventual goal related to AI

the technique i referred to is called white rooming apparently.

[eternal onyx]

i used to dislike the idea of AI so i never even used chat gpt before fall 2024, but now i think text based ai is fine overall, i wish that games could intergrate language models into NPC so you could for example talk to them and they will talk back.

yea now i don't think i am certified enough to talk about ai regarding art, its super messed up and complicated even for an art focused lawyer.

[lethal silo]

i saw a mod for Red Dead where every time you shoot someone you get a monologue of their thoughts but it was written by other people lol.

i’m also not pro ai but i’m not starkly against it either besides the obvious immediate issues we face today.

it’s a complicated topic.
all you can really do is game out scenarios. would it be worth it to a big company to actually farm human talent in exchange for lots of money? afaik even now Suno still isn’t going to be generating genuine beauty.

my favorite comment on it has to be “i just get drunk and have it make songs about dinosaurs driving cars” or something.

Also: That particular scam is really weird - doesn't seem to be a single method people get hacked - might be a trojan from something entirely else

[atomic cypress]

eh ok i can understand this after what happened lol

[hardy briar]

In ”the finals”😭

[ornate maple]

Ah, well, we're in off-topic

[atomic cypress]

i have known this website long ago before they started with the fake tweets, most likely phishing

was just wondering around how stupid these scams are for anyone to fall for but welp..here we are😂

i like to go to scam websites to know how they deceive someone into falling but man they're so obvious I'm like who built this website must be a seal or a dolphin can't be a human at all

[ornate maple]

From my research it doesn't look like most actually fall for the scam in the images - it could be a file virus or token theft, not exactly sure. Worth asking your friend, if you're in touch with them, whether their antivirus showed anything or if they have other suspicions

We have to stay on top of scams for safety reasons, of course, but I admit they are pretty interesting to look into in general 😅

I wish I could take pictures like this but my smartphones auto-filters suck so much they make everything blue/grey
I should probably see if there any apps that turn off such filters cause you can't do it in settings

[nocturne tundra]

theres usually a pro mode that turns off all the auto stuff

[rancid walrus]

Hey. I just got perm banned FOR CHEATS which i never used, i AM LITERALLY SILVER and de-ranking, can't boot the game. How do i make a complete refund of all in-game purchaces?

made a refund for arc raiders, i guess the same will happen with BeSt AnTiChEaT

[atomic cypress]

well i don't think an anti-cheat will ban you without using cheats genius, doesn't take much braincells to know that

[rancid walrus]

sure there is no false-positive bans ever

[atomic cypress]

you can try to refund what you bought from steam, but know that this will permaban you from any nexon game or service as they say in their Tos

[atomic cypress]

chances are so slim even if you have other programs that considered cheats, as long as they're not interfering with the finals or tampering with the files of the game you should be fine, you can appeal your ban if it's reported by players and embark can look in it and help you but if it's an anti-cheat detecion it's perma and they won't be able to help you with it, chances are anti-cheat ban is 99% positive

and this is coming from experience ifykyk

[rancid walrus]

i have 20 years old steam acc with 400+ games and many hours in CS2/dota etc, with zero ban history, and then suddenly finals "detects cheats"
crazy

[atomic cypress]

i don't really know much abt you so idk, i know software.

[rancid walrus]

yeah i understand wym

cheaters should die in agony

[atomic cypress]

i mean you can still contact embark support

[rancid walrus]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1lqhw7j/ban_banned_from_the_finals_without_cheating/

so this guy received the same ban as me, they didn't explain him anything, and HE SHOULD SOMEHOW influence support, be nice and wait for unban?

[atomic cypress]

if this happens with many players might be shitty denuvo anti-cheat fault

[frigid trench]

Hi guys

[rancid walrus]

i am done with embark games, first time ever I AM BANNED FOR CHEATS in my gaming history, crazy

i just contacted their supp but i am 100% sure it's a time waste

[atomic cypress]

personally i don't trust denuvo for shit so i may expect their shit anti-cheat to be falsley banning people, but either way you should contact embark support to sort it out

[rancid walrus]

i have clean windows 11 PC just for games, there is literally NO SOFTWARE except discord steam and chrome

[atomic cypress]

the reddit post you sent says that the guy have done 3rd party transaction..might be the case with you?

[rancid walrus]

how is this possible idk
the guy in comment section from the post above:

It's very concerning that we've been seeing more and more of these posts in the sub lately. Assuming you are telling the truth, I really hope you manage to sort this out. Best of luck.

but i think it's not players' fault, it's embark fault and they should solve this on their end

[rancid walrus]

what is 3rd party tx? RMT?

[atomic cypress]

yeah paying someone to buy you in game items

[rancid walrus]

no i play with my friend and we buy things by ourselves

[atomic cypress]

no idea then, track anything you did in the last couple days you might find something that may cause a flag and ban

[ornate maple]

It also helps our support team to receive these reports, since not only can the team look into the appeal, they can also note if there's any issues to investigate

[atomic cypress]

waiting for the support to respond

[rancid walrus]

i did nothing, this PC is only for games
it boots only to play games, that's what i am saying

[rancid walrus]

yeah but why community should waste their time, get "standard copy-paste replies"?

aren't you a community manager who should communicate and propagate the issue to team?

what is the point of this discord server and reddit posts? i just found 4 more same posts

[atomic cypress]

i hope they solve it for you, since they implmented denuvo anti-cheat i expected this to happen ngl

[rancid walrus]

what is denuvo anti cheat? why should we (users) care about that?

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1d3yd69/anyone_else_been_suspendedbanned_for_seemingly_no/

hahahaha the guy was banned for being afk permamently i am crying

[ornate maple]

We do communicate issues we notice here to the team, however we're unable to investigate your suspension to see whether it was wrongly issued - for that, the support team is needed

[rancid walrus]

I investigate reports in reddit, some of users banned permamently for afk, some of them banned for toxicity, some of them banned for no reason at all and support can't give it to player.

The question is pretty simple: why there is no direct ban reason in this little window which prevents game from launching?

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1l2yeuy/temporarily_suspended_from_finals_for_no_reason/

"You have violated our code of conduct". But which rule exactly? Why? There is no reason, how to guess WHAT HAPPENED to account?

I donated like 200$ to this game in skins, got banned for no reason, nobody explains, just "be nice and wait for a supp to appear"

[proven lantern]

Uh. What's happening here?

[sharp phoenix]

This is Discord, CMs don't have access to your account.

[rancid walrus]

sure, but this is escalating issue according to reddit

team doesn't care

[proven lantern]

Just know that not everything on reddit can be trusted and the devs are pretty active in listening to feedback

[rancid walrus]

Questions again (this disturbs me):

1. Why there is no ban reason visible? Just "annoy our support team so they can explain in 7 working days what happened"
2. Why people get bans for AFK (support team confirmed that according to screenshot from support response)?
3. Why poeople get bans for being toxic and the game is not launching? Just ban a chat, no?
4. Why there is false-positive bans from anti-cheat system and there is no way to appeal that?

[rancid walrus]

sure reddit could not be trusted, but this happened to me just when game loaded the match and i can't open the game until year 2059 🙂

so who to trust? what was the ban reason? why support replies IN 7 WORKING DAYS?

[proven lantern]

Daym. I'm shure Embark will fix it. The reason it takes a long time for a reply is litterly just that they have a lot of work all the time with support. It just takes a while.

[nocturne tundra]

Seems reasonable for a game that you can play for free

[rancid walrus]

They could save their time by displaying the exact ban reason. The “banned permamently” window leads to cheat bans, but on reddit there are plenty of other reason

[sharp phoenix]

1. Most games don't have a full on ban reason because a cheater gets banned and then knows what triggered the ban, it makes figuring out how to fix the problem on the cheat side easy.
2. If you're griefing games and going AFK for whole matches multiple times, deserved really.
3. I guess it depends how toxic you are.
4. You can appeal bans like you have done by creating a ticket. Most the threads you have posted are like 3+ months old, not exactly reliable data at the moment.

[ornate maple]

Either way, we don't have responses on account issues through Discord - the support team is there to help with account and technical issues. We appreciate that you've brought the topic here so we can take note of it, however we won't be able to assist you properly

[rancid walrus]

I donated 200$+ in it. They have a business model

[nocturne tundra]

That's on you

[proven lantern]

Nate! How is my fav bird doing?

[rancid walrus]

I am digging reddit right now and their “banned permamently/banned temp” window leads to the same “banned for cheats” support topic. But users post screenshot where support say that they are banned for “being toxic or afk”. That’s misleading

[ornate maple]

Good good! Busy week, how are you?

[rancid walrus]

So confusing player by BANNING with NO REASON visible is not a right thing, what do you think?

[nocturne tundra]

Dude go outside and touch some grass until the support gets back to you, complaining to random people on discord won't get you anywhere

[rancid walrus]

Sure it is. But business could not run if it has unprofitable model?

That’s offtopic which you joined by your will. Same applies to you then?

[proven lantern]

I'm also doing good and have had a buisy week. Computer Electronics is not as easy as I expected but I think im doing ok. And next week is fully school free

[eternal onyx]

@rancid walrusYes you got banned sorry to hear that, and yes you spent money in this game and yes a ftp competitive game can ban you literally at any time, contact game support and a human will check your account (which I trust Embark will). If you did nothing that violated the game's rule they will call a false ban and unlock ur account. Unfortunately it will take time, and this is and has been the case for all competitive online multiplayer for a while.

[atomic cypress]

i knew the finals when it was in beta but idk why i never bothered trying it

just when s1 dropped and i saw some good footage of the game and the trailer i think i said that's worth a try

[full patrol]

i remember when off topic was off topic

[eternal onyx]

Cool though😂

[atomic cypress]

i mean even in the frinals chat sometimes they don't remember there's a game called the finals so

that's what i love about this server among any other, you can talk about whatever whenever wherever and find chill nice people all times

[eternal onyx]

Why

[atomic cypress]

i hated souls like cause i think all of em are just copy paste same combat system same weapons and attributes upgrades and character

but sekiro is actually different it's so good i recommend trying it

What is your favorite type of apple

[tepid wyvern]

so much msg at the minut looks like a twitch chat of a famous streamer with no restrictions, this close to just emote spam xd

[eternal onyx]

I enjoy all apples equally

[mystic burrow]

That's just false

[thorn nymph]

Any apple as long as it's cooked or processed, lol. If it's fresh, I have that cross-contamination pollen allergy, so like 99% of fresh apples will cause my throat to swell and get scratchy.

[mystic burrow]

What is your opinion on Red Delicious apples

I personally think they are the worst apple I have ever had

[thorn nymph]

Seem fine to me, though it has been ages since I've had a good fresh apple (without consequences, lol)

[mystic burrow]

So you like apple pie?

[thorn nymph]

Absolutely.

[mystic burrow]

Incredible

[mystic burrow]

What about candy apples

[eternal onyx]

that sounds bad

[thorn nymph]

Pass, too junky.

[mystic burrow]

Yeah same.

What is your favorite fruit overall

I love a good pineapple

[eternal onyx]

can i answer that too?

[mystic burrow]

Absolutely

[eternal onyx]

mangoes

[thorn nymph]

Peaches, Oranges, and Strawberries are like the S-Tier for me.

[thorn nymph]

My sis was freaking over those the other day, ha. Loves 'em.

[mystic burrow]

mangoes are really good too

[thorn nymph]

I think I had mangoes for the first time last weekend.

[mystic burrow]

Peaches 🤤

[eternal onyx]

i found my self loving orange made products including juices more than orange it self

[thorn nymph]

I go nuts on some manderines/clementines. I can destroy an entire bag in one sitting, lol.

[mystic burrow]

[mystic burrow]

True mandarins go crazy

What is your favorite way to prepare eggs

I like a soft-boiled egg with just a small amount of salt

[thorn nymph]

The Alton Brown method for scrambled. 1tbsp of milk per egg, and they come out amazing. Gordon Ramsay's version is a close second, but they put me to sleep EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[mystic burrow]

Ohh I know that recipe!

[eternal onyx]

those put in brunches

im not sure of the name

[mystic burrow]

Haven't gone to making it but I hear it's incredible

[thorn nymph]

The Gordon Ramsay turned into my fave, but again, unless I'm prepared to pass out afterwards, it's a no go, lol.

[mystic burrow]

like scrambled?

sunny side up? over easy, over medium

That's usually what they serve

[eternal onyx]

i searched it up its called poached

[mystic burrow]

Ohhh

[eternal onyx]

but i do like french scramble

[mystic burrow]

I'm not the biggest fan of custard-like scrambles

Maybe I should go to try it again one day'

What about your favorite source of light (other than the sun)

Like I could enjoy a warm-colored lamp as being the only source of light in a room

[eternal onyx]

warm lighting for the room, and then its basically any light from keyboards, synthesizers, and computers

[mystic burrow]

Wait
Synthesizers? 🤔

[eternal onyx]

music ones

i only have like two right now but if you have a wall of them its super slick

[mystic burrow]

Im poor and need new PSU and GPU

[trim wind]

done and done

[void echo]

Brother, I'm fighting for my life with my i7-6700k CPU

My GPU is practically brand-new. In every game, I'm CPU-bound

https://tenor.com/view/pain-suffering-happiness-ekrem-andrei-gif-3800599383294809594

[nocturne tundra]

My first pc had a 6700 non K :D

[trim wind]

Not crazy, its 10 years old

[proven lantern]

Ok what GPU do you have? Mine is about 2 or 3 generations behind and low end as well with 8Gig of Vram. It can barely run shit in 1080p medium😭. All other parts are doing well I just need more Vram and a better PSU to support a newer GPU.

[trim wind]

I think most games are moving to utilize 6-8 cores nowadays, and at least 16 GB ram, and more than 8 gb vram

[void echo]

GTX 1070 OC

I think Cyberpunk is the only game that pushes my GPU... and I'm also running 1080p. Funnily enough, I'm running TF in 2k upscaled (saw no difference in performance between 1080p and 2k upscaled, but the difference in sharpness is MASSIVE)

[proven lantern]

Exactly. I my GPU is showing up at the minimum requierment for all tje games i whant now theese days

[void echo]

idk why, but all my friends with the new GPU's and setups are always complaining about performance. I feel like hardware is severely underutilized in games. Optimization is dogshit

[nocturne tundra]

play factorio or doom eternal and enjoy peak optimization

[trim wind]

indeed

[void echo]

Why is optimization so baaad. The Finals used to have better optimization (in my case). I used to get stable 80 FPS, while my friend only got like 100fps. Forgot his specs, but he purchased his PC like a year ago

[trim wind]

You know what amazes me still? that eventhough people are running old hardware they expect Embark to just magically improve the tickrate for a game that fully relies on serverside destruction.. I don't think hardware exists that is both able to do that AND not costing an arm and a leg

[proven lantern]

I have an AMD RX6600. The drivers are ustabile and games refuse to use more than 4,5 GB of the 8 GB of Vram it has. One day i get over 160 fps in 1440p medium in The finals the next i barely scrape past 60 in the lowest with ultra preformance. The thing just refuses to work properly

[void echo]

Lol. I've always been super happy with my performance in The Finals. I've been bragging about my performance sine I joined the server (CB days).

[trim wind]

I think its because a lot of the performance is serverside stuff too

[void echo]

It's just a little disappointing to see that something was changed and that I'm getting roughly 20fps less and more stutters

[void echo]

10000%
But also, the game looks smooth. 60fps looked like 144 fps for me xd

[trim wind]

if the servers struggle your pc cannot make it up for the server

[trim wind]

[void echo]

Povich, I'm sorry... but why did you change your legendary pfp?

[trim wind]

I'm experimenting with hallloween pfps

[void echo]

fair enough

[proven lantern]

Just stutters!?!?! Me and my friend both run AMD while the 3rd friend runs a 1070TI. He barely has problems we have to deal with the game deciding to fuck us over every 2 days.

[void echo]

LOL.

I mean, stutters and lower FPS. Other than that, I'm enjoying the game :3

[proven lantern]

Yeah, the game has a LOT of preformance issues but I still love it. + I got a defect RTX 2070 for $50. I'm thinking I'll try to fix it and sell it for like $150. Cant get a job so why not make my own for the time beeing

[eternal onyx]

i got 9700x with 9070xt and The Finals in 4k high with FSR set to quality is able to maintain around 125 fps

[weary rune]

I have a question, why does the visuals show the number 32 and 8 and my number on my characters is 16 for example?

Does this have to do with any achievements or anything like that? Gameplay within the game and hours with everything else

[wary gull]

Wym?

does anyone know if arc raiders will have a battle pass`?

[subtle gyro]

It will be $40, I hope not.

[fluid drift]

im praying it doesn't 🙏

[proven lantern]

It's not scamming if I know I can fix it and then selling it $50 bucks cheaper than it goes for on the used market where I live.

[proven lantern]

Damn. Mister moneypants

[trim wind]

oh boy, you're expecting a 2025 premium game at $40 not to have any monetization

I think we should be happy its only 40$ cause it's worth our souls

[subtle gyro]

Battlepass

[trim wind]

a battlepass is a type of monetization

but it's likely going to be similar to HD2

[subtle gyro]

I was thinking about that too

[trim wind]

100% earnable

though some tiny tiny monetization is probably still there for those without patience

idk, but it's going to be considerably less than THE FINALS I am sure

[frail wagon]

I think the battle pass will cost money, but they’ll let you get enough free currency in the battle pass to buy it

[meager needle]

dint even the tech test have a battle pass or some sort of

but its only cosmetics i think

[eternal onyx]

when we played tech test 2 they got helldiver 2 alike item bundles with progression

i wish they kept that model

[meager needle]

they hear us so maybe

[eternal onyx]

honestly i'm willing to spend more money in arc as long as it feels reasonable

not too much game studio passionate like Embark now days

[meager needle]

today i even got a new tv becose my old one was gettting bad an left side black wen starting it and now everyting is good so im set for arc raiders and other games with this new tv

[eternal onyx]

i got a "i need this for work" excuse so..

[meager needle]

they do makes game for fun not profit thats so rare nowdays sadly

[eternal onyx]

thats going to be very immersive, the largest i got is a desk monitor

[meager needle]

the closest is probably cyberpunk

[meager needle]

i rarly do too i just wen i finish a story im like bored to play a second time lol

[eternal onyx]

286 hours in and i only reached 41/57

[meager needle]

i even play balatro

[eternal onyx]

i'll play it next, got a ps5 controller too recently

[meager needle]

did take some time too get a run but now im having fun with balatro but its hard to finish

[meager needle]

with the new tv i need to stop giving out money for such stuff uff

at least until im not that sort of guy who spends all the money on unimportend stuff or if you think about it games dont make me food. all they do is train my brain but i also play chess and do martial art so 😅

[eternal onyx]

ur doing it right.

i have a bit of a over spending issue specifically on tech which i'm working on now

[meager needle]

are assists that important for heavy in the finals? I just got into gold 2 and have noticed that my elims dont seem to be as dominant as earlier ranks I use to top frag on mini gun but now I just get the highest assists everaging 15+ each round

[teal epoch]

I mean you're playing heavy mini gun you are not good at chasing on your own and minigun at farther ranges is more suppressive than damage

[brittle obsidian]

the higher you get up the more likely it is you will rely on your more agile teammates to finish kills, especially if you're using the mini gun. you're more so just suppressing fire. not many people are gonna fight you head on

[ivory cliff]

is that a bad thing?

like should I be chasing them more? I really want to main the mini gun to climb up and I want to improve in terms of game sense and skills

[brittle obsidian]

not at all. you're contributing, just in a different way

[ivory cliff]

ah ok ok cause like my last rank match I only had 9 elims and like 24 or 25 assists while my team had like 22 and 26 elims

[brittle obsidian]

as a mini gun user your objective is to plant yourself and not let enemies pass

elims aren't end all be at at the end of the day, you can have 30 kills but if you have least cash you still lose

[ivory cliff]

ah ok ok so whatever the case just play defense cause thats where the minigun shines

[brittle obsidian]

you can still push. say for example your light pushes a team and forces a chase, you stand off to the side and wipe em as they come out the door

also if you really need to finish a kill, push with RPG and blow them away LOL

[ivory cliff]

mm yeah yeah I do that sometimes also should I use c4 or healing orb on the mini gun?

my main loadout is mini gun, dome shield, lockbolt, and shield

[brittle obsidian]

I'd say that dome shield, rpg, and heal ball are a good loadout for minigun

you'll have the RPG for good entry damage or to finish off a low enemy

[ivory cliff]

ah ok thanks ill keep that in mind

[brittle obsidian]

and if your medium isn't running heal beam then you're gonna need the healing from heal ball to keep you sustained in extended fights

[ivory cliff]

oh ok ok so if there is a med healing me or light healing just dont use orb?

[brittle obsidian]

not necessarily. especially if you're solo queuing and you can't rely on your team for heals, also heal ball can heal all 3 of you

so you can sit in a corner with waist high cover, put the ball next to you, and you and your medium can teamshoot while the heal ball heals any chip damage the enemy who is peaking you manages to do

not many people are gonna sit there and tank your minigun once they peak, so heal ball will negate most of the damage they to you if you're positioned well

its mainly from the design perspective of apple

Don't worry, they will also be annoying eventually

I like android because I can do whatever I want with it.

the liquid glass effect is very pretty yes but it is not really implemented well enough to balance ux

the new ui design feels like those art projects for display but they aren't necessarily the best for daily use
