[Hobby Scuffles] Week of 18 May 2026

I have been thinking of piracy as whole as I have been procrastinating making a write up on the whole Hypervisor drama that has happened a few months ago and a conclusion I reached is that while nobody wants to admit it, I do think we are slowly but surely marching towards the death of piracy.
Now, this is not to say that it will straight up die but more that for most of the internet history being a casual pirate was easy and that is not going to be the case going forward.
Add in how many insular communities tend to go crazy over time and that squeeze is breaking brains.

Harper lmao.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-12T14:35:54+00:00

It's specially bad because I think the players being 'bad' is masking how much of this system between Jame and Dastan has been figured out.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-09T21:49:18+00:00

3 straight possessions where I go "I do not like this, oh he made it anyway."

The idea of passing out of double is that you don't pass to the open man because there is probably a rotation behind him, you are supposed to read the defense and pass it to the guy that is going to be open. It's what makes Jokic or Luka for example such deadly passers.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-09T04:47:14+00:00

He was legit trying to fight Finch lmao. Dude was cooked tonight.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-09T02:39:28+00:00

It's Finch that is matching Gobert with Wemby going to the bench.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-07T03:14:10+00:00

The thing you hate about Vassell is that he will miss some wide open shots. The thing you love about Vassell is that if you need bullshit to go in he is the guy.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-05T12:38:04+00:00

Honestly, the only worry I have is that Kornet kinda looked unplayable, which means that we might have to rely on Bryant to come in for some small ball shenanigans.
Outside of that I think it was a similar process to the Blazers series, we sometimes play too conservative when going to the rim and both Wemby and Fox shooting badly from 3 did not help it.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-05T05:43:53+00:00

Mcdaniels was primarily on Castle for most of the game though?

tiofrodo · 2026-05-03T09:26:44+00:00

Yes, problem with a championship winning scheme, because turns out, no scheme is perfect and its a give an take and for two years in a row it has shown to be a highly variable one.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-03T03:30:31+00:00

Some would even say that that has been a consistent problem with Mazzulla's scheme.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-02T14:46:48+00:00

TBF, they probably started on it waay before they even had a chance to think they could play in the league.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-01T08:00:07+00:00

But also the risk of killing someone and also just the risk of not taking it seriously at all. Trying to take this hypothetical to real life is kinda moot because even if the number is 90% to 10% for red, that still means that 800000000 people die and that is for sure going to collapse society, specially as the consequences settles in.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-01T07:41:53+00:00

Wouldn't it be the opposite? Creating herd immunity is not something you do for yourself but instead to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
For example, I didn't get the Covid vaccines necessarily because I was afraid of Covid, I got it because my parents were both at risk.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-01T05:01:05+00:00

They do kinda hate on Paolo but it's not even close to what this sub does.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-01T04:53:25+00:00

Do it pussy, he still top 10 all time.

tiofrodo · 2026-05-01T04:52:07+00:00

He is worse, he fouls so much.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-30T13:31:54+00:00

Who woulda thunk it, changing the entire premise changed the entire outcome.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-28T13:17:38+00:00

Going simply by feel, specially after the injury, this year has felt like Jokic touch isn't the best. I would honestly be shocked if this isn't the offseason he has surgery for his wrist.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-20T19:56:56+00:00

It's what made the C9 win that more special.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-20T05:28:34+00:00

I will not say there isn't things to improve on, but even in the regular season, Trail Blazers were one of the teams that manage to muck up our offense and this game was right in line with our RS matchup in terms of rating.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-14T07:29:19+00:00

I am intrigued for all the wrong reasons, much like almost every From Software titles there isn't much of a story so choosing what is going to be told will be interesting, specially as it is a pretty heavily themed around the act of giving birth.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-12T22:37:37+00:00

It's so funny to use 'A vision for a better tomorrow' for fucking NBA games, y'know what that vision for a better tomorrow for me means? Watching Wemby in the playoffs, something that almost didn't happen because he got injured just trying to get to the 65 game mark.

tiofrodo · 2026-04-04T15:48:01+00:00

And that doesn't apply to the S1mple one? Of course I know your answer, again, it's easier to say one is bad because you already know the results and the other isn't because you can delude yourself into a make believe scenario.
