Appreciate all the humor around the Microsoft outage. Your average joe in the corporate is obviously grateful for it. But once we are done with all the silliness, I need y'all to understand a couple of things:
- regardless of what anyone says, this was not an accident or some bug.
- your entire economy rests on the tech infrastructure that is in place. we are all connected, and that has its pros and cons.
- now think the same outage, but for a longer period of time, and across various platforms and services, and across continents.
- in those conditions, you're talking about big businesses practically coming to a halt, mass disruption in civil services like police, medical, fire brigade, etc. and that's just the tip of it.
Again, if you are not prepared, whether as an individual, group, corporation or government, you will be in trouble very soon.

โ ๏ธ Warning: Long rant incoming.
Iโve been waiting for someone in the national NBA media to address this, but apparently nobody wants to.
Why was Luka Doncicโs first NBA Finals loss treated as proof that his style of basketball couldnโt win a championship, while Victor Wembanyamaโs was treated as another step toward greatness?
Luka averaged 29.2/8.8/5.6 against a 64-win Celtics team, and the national media spent the next two years questioning his defense, conditioning, leadership and whether his style of basketball could ever win a championship.
Wemby loses 4โ1 to a 53-win Knicks team, struggles down the stretch, and suddenly weโre reminded that even Jordan and LeBron needed time. Itโs all about growth, valuable lessons and gaining experience.
And this hypocrisy doesnโt end with the Finals. It carries directly into the MVP conversation.
Lukaโs individual brilliance is constantly filtered through questions about his defense, playing style, team success and whether he can actually win.
Wembyโs brilliance is celebrated as evidence of what heโs becoming. His shortcomings are treated as things heโll eventually overcome.
One player has to constantly justify why he deserves an MVP. The other is talked about like winning one is inevitable.
Nobody is asking for Wemby to be torn down. But why does one generational talent have to overcome a narrative the media created while the other gets the benefit of the doubt?

KD praises Yaxel Lendeborg:
"I love his game. He's a skilled big that can play 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the offensive side of the ball. He can shoot it. He can handle it. He's strong, long and athletic. ... That right there shows you he's a different level of athlete. A winner. He won in college. He's been though a lot of adversity. ... He came here fully grown and he's ready for anything that's thrown at him. It was fun to play against him."

Getting your build specialization grinded : UNFAIR ADVANTAGE - PERMANENT BAN!
Making an optomized build in 5 minutes : UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!
Shooting 40 foot half-court fadeaways, naming yourself BITCH IM CHEATING, and consistently greening smothereds - Not banned.

The knicks are actually developing young players, expanding their rotation, experimenting, keeping the main guys rested and ALSO winning games in the process
Waited my whole life for this shit

KAT's postgame interview was like listening to a TED talk. Give this a listen:

Yaxel Lendeborg says playing point guard in NBA 2K taught him to read defenses and anticipate defendersโ next moves, making real basketball feel slower
"I played point guard every year in 2K. Iโve learned how to make reads. I learned how they're going to defend this and this and that."
"So then when I get into an actual game, itโs kind of already slowed down for me. I know guys are going to try to bait at this move. Theyโre going to try to reach in this lane."
"So then itโs like, having three options at all time. And thatโs kind of something I developed from 2K."

I really need you to think for 3 secondsโฆ
This dude is LOSING HIS CHANNEL, a channel that has posted SOLELY 2K for over 10 years, because he talked negatively about the game in videos.
No leaks, no cheating, nothing against TOS, and his channel is GONE.
He canโt TALK negatively, but over 50,000 current players can CHEAT daily.
Why does nobody seem to care?
Why arenโt any creators speaking up on his behalf?
Is it because they canโt profit off it?
Dudes want to go to community day again that badly?
Community is losing the plot bro.
Quick to buy a season pass, quick to make a goat build, but when a legit OG in this community is being taken out right before your eyes itโs SILENCE.
Stand for something for once people.

After over a week off the game I just played again, and I played the same cheater, who's NAME HAS "IM CHEATING" IN IT, 5 TIMES IN A ROW, ON GOD, STRIKE ME DOWN IF IM LYING, 5 TIMES IN A ROW. I EVEN BACKED OUT TO RESET THE Q, AND PLAYED HIM AGAIN, BUT GOD FORBID SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE AN OPTIMAL BUILD IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.. I've actually hit my breaking point.

"plainly unfair and diminishes the in-game experience of players"
sounds oddly familiar to another issue in 2k that's been going on for 6 years and isn't being addressed
