THE FINALS broken on Linux - again

The environmental destruction in this game is really impressive. This and the range of gadgets and weapons enables all sorts of crazy builds and strats.

The main mode (which isn't even my favorite in this game) is a pretty unique 3v3v3. You see a really interesting mix of galaxy brain plays with really dumb ones lol

My favorite mode is Power Shift, which is "king of the hill" on a moving platform, tug-of-war style. The platform you fight for takes a path through buildings and structures, which are destroyed as it moves. It's just the right amount of chaos and necessary teamwork for my tastes!

They've done a couple of special, limited-time modes since I started playing and they were both really fun too

Of course there's also TDM, for when you just want to do that.

I was booted from nearly every match I played yesterday, so I am eagerly awaiting a fix so I can play again

New Hampshire lawmakers were asked to wear orange to honor victims of US gun violence. A lawmaker responded by saying he would wear black because “violence is associated with African Americans"

In addition to income/wealth disparities, black communities are disproportionally policed. Black people are disproportionally arrested, charged, and convicted. Their sentences are disproportionally harsher.

It's systemic racism through and through. The evidence is plain, but racists (like the subject of the OP) see the numbers as confirming their bias and ignore any other possible explanation.
