I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guqrd. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

I liked him on the Knicks. Great effort and skill. I hope he can show the same in OKC and get lits if playing time.
- Comment on It Would Take 'Star Level Player' for LeBron to Take Pay Cut 4 days ago:
I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to salary cap and contracts and was wondering this exact thing. At what point is having a potential winning team more important than a few million for someone who is possibly a billionaire by now. Apparently Lebron couldn’t just play for a couple of million and get a superstar teammate instead. Good to know.

The Villanova 4 are complete!
- Comment on NBA Player Tiers: Kevin Durant, Steph Curry hang on in Tier 1, but how much longer? 1 week ago:
Overall a good list.
Minor nitpicks like healthy Embiid should be in 1A for me and the gap between Tatum and Brown being too big. As a Knicks fan I like Brunson so high. Ibhopenhe can cement that evaluation next season.
Then there is KD. His skill is unquestionable, but if we speak of value, he isn’t 1B for me. IMO he has become a poison pill since Brooklyn.
Teams change up their whole structure and trade away the kitchen sink to get him. What do they get? A strong team on paper that doesn’t produce results.
When the going gets tough he requests a trade. The team is left with a roster built around him and few to no draft picks.

Why does nobody ask the important question?
Will the players be required to be on his podcast when asked?
- Comment on NBA Rumors: Monty Williams Fired as Pistons HC with 5 Years, $65M+ Left on Contract 2 weeks ago:
Imagine being such a bad prospect as a franchise, you have to offer a coach a six year contract and $80mio.
And then imagine such a bad season, you rather let him go and eat the rest of his contract, rather than have him continue the work.
Some real geniuses in Detroit.

With the obvious off season move out of the way, we can look forward to their next moves.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x10 "Life, Itself" 4 weeks ago:
Discovery has always been a mixed bag for me.
I was fine with their changes to the Klingons, but disliked the emphasis of action.
I liked Pike and Spock (an Strange new Worlds), bit disliked the final battle with a million ships/drones.
I liked the jump into the future, but disliked the reason and resolution of the Burn.
I liked the threat of the DMA and its consequences, but the interpersonal relationships of the crew lost their appeal to me.
Season 5 was one of the weakest for me.
The Breen and the new XO two positives for me.
The crew, the Progenitor Tech and the search for it were all boring for me. Especially the established characters are more annoying than interesting to me.
Mol and L’ak ruined the season for me, more specifically Mol. A cross between a tantrum-having toddler and rebellious teenager, she added nothing to the plot. Her random connection to Book was blatantly manufactured and added nothing.
I actively had to stop myself from skipping scenes with her. I was close to just stop watching this season, since the rest wasn’t too compelling either. I really dislike when antagonist keep sticking around, because the heroes try saving them (from themselves). It’s okay to let a horrible person bleed to death, Michael.
I’m glad it’s over. It could have been better, but also worse. I think this season showed it was a good decision to end it now.

Discovery had its ups and downs for me over the seasons. The Progenitor tech. Breen. Both interesting. Moll and L’ak and the forced connection to Book ruin it for me. I get annoyed every time Moll opens her mouth.
I enjoy shows that add personal connections into their story, but Discovery is excessive and misses quite a lot.
