hello, i got my 3ds i think sometime in 2011, and its been well used up until i misplaced it in around 2017, and only just found it today. the most recent version update is 6.3.0-12U according to my settings. i’ve always wanted to mod my ds but i just didn’t know where to start. does anyone know what guide would be the most helpful in my case? (also what size sd card would be recommended)

I was doung some simulations of societys and realised there were no bridges is there like a mod or somth to add small bridges?

Currently, unless I'm mistaken, PMCs don't loot in the time before I load into a Scav run, so places like tech light in Interchange are still full of loot which is unrealistic to live tarkov.
Is there a mod that allows the PMC ai to loot or simulate looting in scav raids and normal raids?

I love rimworld and I have hundreds of hours on it. Anomaly is a great DLC.
That being said rimworld has a big flaw in my opinion, and that is the entire overworld and faction system. It's pretty obvious rimworld is primarily about the colony simulation and the overworld aspect is just a way to further that.
The caravan formation process is just awful and requires you to have items in a stockpile to grab them at your colony, which is problematic since you can only make a pit stop on your journey by settling a new colony. You can't stop without settling a colony. Transport is very slow unless you chain drop pods and use a transport shuttle permit, meaning any trips over 10 days is fairly impractical without using a large portion of the colony. Be honest, how many of you enjoy the caravan trip to sell hats or blow up the EMI dynamo or find part 1 of 5 artifact clues?
The reason this system is so underdeveloped I suppose is because apart from a few quests to visit a location there is basically no reason to use the overworld. Factions cannot be weakened by raids and its mostly so you can take their stuff. Being allied to someone just lets you call in a few favours over the comms console and they don't come to help very often. It just stops raids from that faction, which doesn't matter since any faction on the map can raid you regardless of distance or resources.
There are no roving warbands, no villages or outposts, no reason to visit an enemy city to curry favour or wage war. You can rescue a downed pawn or sell some dusters for a couple thousand silver and some relation points.
I think a DLC or update or whatever solely on the overworld would be incredible, the missing piece rimworld needs. Mechanoids and flesh beasts massing in the countryside, crossing the border into imperial territory, full of villages and forts. Raid the cannibal pirates to weaken their forces, discover lost cities, and fly to the landed ship in a comfy shuttle. I know many mods do this but they're just that, mods. Their capabilities are limited by the games overworld system, and they rarely integrate, causing a disjointed feel when adding lots of overworld mods.
What do you think? Is the overworld an overlooked aspect of the game or is it just a distraction that really needs no more expansion?

I'm a big fan of The Crew 1 and 2's ability to roam around the US, but dissappointed with its lack of VR. I recently learned american truck simulator has normal car mods, and a pretty detailed recreation of the US. The game and ALL dlc are on sale right now for 86.35, which is a pretty big sink. So I just wanted to know if anyone else has done this before or to get some tips from actual players, is it worth it? Can I drive from california to new york? I don't really care about hardcore racing phyics, just want the ability to take nice, long, relaxing drives. Thanks!

In relevance to AGI, I speculate that in the far future an AGI/ASI would be able to make a robot that is physically indistinguishable from a human.
But I need a definitive name for this.
Robotic/biological interior, but on the outside completely biological or mostly biological. Maybe very closely simulated "biological" material.
A robot that can sweat/bleed/breathe/goosebumps/etc. What is this type of robot called?
Mods, I'll delete this post when I have an answer if you like.

hey! looking for a duo or also open to group of people to play games from some of the mention genres above, but I play a little bit of everything as long as there's co-op involved. just to list off a couple:
V Rising (just bought for 1.0 and would love to play this one especially), Terraria (Vanilla or Modded), Conan Exiles, Ark, Grounded, 7 Days to Die, Scum, Rust, DayZ, Raft, ESO, Stardew Valley, Nioh 2, Monster Hunter World or Rise, FFXIV, Project Zomboid, etc.
I'm very open to suggestions too, will happily buy a game if you're willing to give me a good pitch. 10+ points if it's a cozy farming simulator, lowkey craving one of those bad right now..
little bit about me: I'm attending college for anthropology right now, and doing freelance voice-over work on the side. love everything artsy/aesthetic, fall is objectively the best season, and I'm a non-recovering coffee addict.
if that all sounds like your kinda thing, please shoot me a message/chat with a little bit about yourself and I'll pass you my Discord! I would love to get to

can you tell me where to get the long delivery on Euro Truck Simulator 2 mod because the one i have dose not wore where can i fine one that and no damange mod works from thsnk you

Working on FNV and im trying to use the system from helmet overlay, to add an overlay to the courier power armour and onto the vault tec set as well seeing as they are from 2011 and project nevada is out of use.
Does anyone know how, or have a tutorial on how to get the overlay to actually port across as the instructions on the mod themselves make little sense.

Hallo zusammen, da ich seit meiner Kindheit gern zocke und in den Jahren sehr viele verschiedene Spiele gesammelt und ausprobiert habe, wollte ich mal meine persönlichen Empfehlungen und Geheimtipps teilen und nach euren fragen. Los gehts:

• Transport Fever 2
  • Mein aktueller Favorit. TF2 ist ein Tycoon-Spiel, bei dem man auf großen Maps Transportlinien für Passagiere und Güter einrichten muss. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf dem Bahnverkehr, was auch sehr schön umgesetzt ist.
  • Es gibt auch Bus- und Straßenbahnlinien. Der Gedanke ist, dass man in den Städten Zubringer vom/zum Bahnhof etc. baut. Die Passagiere können also auch umsteigen.
  • Als Fahrzeuggattungen gibt es neben Zügen noch LKW, Schiffe und Flugzeuge
  • Kampagne und Freies Spiel möglich
  • Als drei Regionen mit eigenem Map-Typ und Fahrzeugen gibt es Europa, USA und Asien.
  • Mod-Support mit Steam-Workshop
  • Man kann in allen Fahrzeugen selbst "mitfahren"
  • Aktuell bei Steam reduziert für 17,99 zu haben. Wie bei allen Spielen auf Steam gilt: Ihr könnt es ausprobieren und zurückgeben, wenn es nicht läuft oder gefällt (innheralb von zwei Wochen, wenn es nicht länger als zwei Stunden gespielt wurde).
  • Dreiköpfiges Entwicklerteam aus Schaffhausen (Schweiz)
• Mashinky
  • Ebenfalls ein Tycoon-Game mit Zügen, Autos und Flugzeugen
  • Anders als bei TF2 ist nicht Geld die einzige Ressource. Stattdessen gibt es verschiedene wie Kohle, Holz, Öl (und Geld), die für den Betrieb verschiedener Züge in den verschiedenen Zeitaltern nötig sind. Entsprechend müssen verschiedene Transportketten angelegt werden, um diese Ressourcen zu erzeugen.
  • Ebenfalls anders: Man baut die Gleise und Straßen im einem Raster (45-Grad-Winkel möglich). Grafisch fällt das nicht so sehr ins Gewicht, das Spiel sieht trotzdem gut aus.
  • Mashinky ist noch in der Entwicklung und wird steitig verbessert/erweitert. Mir sind jedoch so gut wie keine Bugs aufgefallen, der Umfang ist ebenfalls ordentlich.
  • Wird von einer Person entwickelt. Der Entwickler gibt regelmäßig Updates über den aktuellen Stand und Updates.
  • Mit persönlich sind die Transportketten irgendwann zu komplex geworden, weshalb ich eher TF2 spiele. Für viele hier dürfte Mashinky aber passen.
• Simrail
  • Ein Zugsimulator eines polnischen Entwicklerstudios mit polnischem (?) Rollmaterial
  • Schöne Grafik, detaillierte Zug-Bedienung
  • Statt Zugführer zu sein kann man auch die Rolle im Stellwerk einnehmen. Im Multiplayer können beide Rollen kombiniert werden
  • Ich habe nur die kostenlose Demo gespielt, weil es mich persönlich nicht ganz abgeholt hat. Muss aber nicht am Spiel liegen, denn ich fand es gut umgesetzt.
• Railroader
  • Ebenfalls ein Simulator mit Fokus auf Dampfloks (gibt auch wenige Dieselloks)
  • Man muss ein Transportunternehmen aufbauen bzw. Geld verdienen
  • Habe es kurz nach Release gekauft und fand, dass es sehr zeitintensiv ist. Möglicherweise wurde das inzwischen besser ausbalanciert, denn es ist auch noch in der Entwicklung und wird entsprechend verbessert/erweitert
  • Man kann/muss die Waggons selbst kuppeln und auch die Druckluftleitungen verbinden/lösen und auf die Ventile achten. Dafür kann man aussteigen und rumlaufen (geht aber auch aus dem Zug heraus).
  • Wem die Karriere zu mühsam ist kann auch ein freies Spiel ohne Geld starten.

Ich freue mich auf eure Tipps!
Edit: verzeiht die Formatierung. Habe es auf dem PC geschrieben mit Bullet-Points und Unterebenen. Da sah alles gut aus. Aber jetzt auf dem Handy merke ich, dass es scheinbar auf Mobilgeräten nicht funktioniert

Hello! I have a Ryzen 5 2600 with a GTX 1660 super, Asus TUF B450 and a 650W Bandit Power PSU. It's not really enough for me now. I usually play modded Minecraft and I would like to play Microsoft Flight Simulator in the future. What should I upgrade? Is it worth upgrading now or I should wait for new components/lower prices?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the game and was curious if there are any ways to practice the game solo since I only get to play a couple of times a week at our locals. For example, I'd love to put my deck into some game/sim and see how it fairs against another specific deck.
I see that Tabletop Simulator has some SVE Mods but I've never played it so I'm not to sure if that's something that's viable. I also have tried the official online game but noticed the rules are different so don't think I'd get too much out of it (maybe I'm wrong).
Thanks!

Wanted to give my $0.02 on the topic of consequences. Consequences for death, lawlessness, complacency, neglect and how it relates to your overall experience.
Personal opinions here. Also more considering the end state of the game not the current state.
For me, Star Citizen is the perfect game to have harsh consequence and that consequence is an essential ingredient so we can have profound experiences in this space life simulator.
For me the closest parallel is the Altis Life mod on Arma. In Altis life, players by default live as law abiding citizens making a meager wage so they can buy things like a home or vehicles. Players can go pick apples and have a near 0 risk of danger, and that is how it should be. Players can then decide to take on risk and become a bounty hunter, police officer, or criminal. Poppy field are more lucrative than apples but they are outside of protected areas, far from law enforcement.
I love this sorta environment because players choose the risk they are comfortable with and people who KOS or troll end up facing harsh enough consequences to curb the behavior in an immersive and fun way.
If you wanna run drugs, run a proper force or accept the risk.
The experience ends up more profound than anything else. Please don't make the consequences softer so people can get back into the action faster.
My hope is most citizens will be living low risk lives in the verse, hauling in protected areas or maybe joining the fight against criminals. Hoping only 5 to 10% of players end up doing illegal stuff because of the chaos and consequence.
Thanks for reading.

Fall of the Dungeon Guardians is a grid based dungeon crawler developed by Mana Games. Released in 2015, Dungeon Guardians asks us, "What if World of Warcraft dungeons were really big? Like, REALLY big?"
We play as an unfortunate group of souls who have been tasked with guarding a prison. What was supposed to be a boring job to pay the bills is now a fight for our lives as nefarious forces begin their work.
DG is a blobber. You control a group of four characters that are perpetually stuck together (hence, blob) as you move about a grid based dungeon. Solve puzzles, murder goblins and dragons, get sweet phat lewtz and try not to stand in the fire too much.
The Good
The sheer amount of customization in how you play the game is pretty amazing for how small the team is. Between the in game options and the small but active community that knows how to mod the game you can customize it pretty easily. I disliked that bosses dropped the same loot as normal enemies and lo and behold you can configure how much they drop and the quality of it by editing a few lines in an .ini file.
I also appreciate that while the combat is real time, it doesn't require you to do the 'square dancing' that you see in games like Vaporium or Grimrock. You're expected to stay toe to toe. Combat is well balanced around this which is impressive. We've all played RPGs where by mid/end game nothing is a threat anymore but here everything even up to the last boss remains an acceptable challenge. That being said...
The Bad
Anybody remember playing World of WarCraft circa 2006 and how combat involved staring at your action bars waiting for cooldowns? Yeah. That's here. Fortunately you can queue up 6 attacks in a row (3 by default, but you can up it to 6 in options which I strongly recommend). Even still, most fights require constantly watching for buffs to fall off, timing your cooldowns, waiting for stacking abilities and keeping an eye on what the enemy is casting so that you can interrupt big power attacks.
I honestly can't remember what most bosses looked like because I was so focused on my action bars the entire fight. Even with active pause I was having flash backs to raiding in WoW and how my life was watching bars fill up and debuffs count down. Game needs a trigger warning for former raid healers.
The Ugly
Loot falls into that +more gooder cycle. No interesting choices to be made as each class has an obvious best stat to focus on and if the loot that drops doesn't have that particular stat it's garbage. Due to the random nature, you can end up never replacing some items leaving your character feeling underpowered.
Fortunately you can save scum loot. Loot is generated at time of death. If you're having bad luck getting an item, you can save right before an elite/boss dies and just reload until you get an actual upgrade.
Final Thoughts
The puzzles are fun to figure out, the dungeon layouts are well done and the various boss fights are interesting to figure out even if the combat does involve staring at action bars. Dungeon Guardian is another in the ever growing line of "If you like RPGs but aren't familiar with gridders, go play Grimrock 2, Bards Tale 4 and Operencia first. If you now like the genre, then this is an easy pickup."
Interesting Game Facts
The lead developer is super active on the Steam forums for his game. It's been 9 years and he's still answering questions daily. He's active on Reddit as well though he mostly makes Tennis simulation games these days. Turns out sim-Tennis is more profitable than building dungeon crawlers.
Thank you for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts, questions and experiences!
My other reviews on patient gaming

Hey everyone, this will be my first attempt at a serious post on this sub. I’m not exactly practiced in articulating my thoughts (I’m more of a fiction writer) so please bear bull with any mistakes and please correct me if I’m wrong. The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation, I’m not an expert (or a financial advisor) on any of this. I'm here to learn, not to teach.
This post will be the first in a series of me reading through the entire Diamond Handbook (2nd) and just commentating on points I find interesting or discussion worthy. I will be asking questions as well as giving my own personal thoughts based on my understanding of the events that have transpired. I became an ape right after the sneeze, and followed a lot of the discussions back then, but have been zen for a while so I haven't fully kept up with a lot of the new developments.
I haven't actually sat down and read DD in a long time, so I decided to give myself a refresher and actually look at the Diamond Handbook (2nd) for the first time. I had read a lot of these posts as they had come out, so I had never felt the need to look at the full PDF before. For the apes that haven’t read it either, I recommend giving it a read. You can find the full DD library in the pinned post of this sub, and the Diamond Handbook is the first one there.
As I have been reading it, I’ve quickly realized that some of the stuff is a little outdated. That can’t really be helped since so much DD has been done between then and now, but this brings me to the two reasons for this post. The Diamond Handbook is likely the first piece of DD a new ape will be recommended; I want to spark discussion to clear up some things that are misguided or outdated in this handbook. The second reason is more of a personal challenge. Whenever someone denies the legitimacy of the DD, an ape usually responds by saying something like “Well, read the DD and prove it wrong”. The average MOASS denier won’t do this though, in my experience they just think it’s ridiculous on a conceptual level, and won’t take the time to actually look through all the DD available and construct a proper debate. I can’t really blame them for this though, spending so much time on something you have no interest in doesn’t sound like a fun time.
But I have a lot of interest in this, and I am an aspiring author who writes 400K word fanfictions for fun. I’ve got the time and the writing willpower. I am very big into trying to understand how a reader will interpret a piece of my writing, so I’ll be looking through that lens and will be writing this with the assumption that you have already read the Diamond Handbook (2nd). Please take the time to respond/correct what I say here, I want to learn.
With all that out of the way, let’s get started.
​
The Mother of All Short Squeezes (MOASS) Thesis, Published on May 26, 2021, by u(slash)HCMF_MACEFACE
Before we even get into the meat of this section I already see a bit of an issue. A lot of the language implies that MOASS is imminent, take this section for example:

*“If you don't believe me, just look at the chart of GME which our DD (Due Diligence/research/analysis) has been forecasting for a while now. The below pattern has only preceded massive spikes in price, but this time, those on the other side of the trade are going to have a much harder time suppressing the price like they did in January and March. Thanks to the activity on 5/25, we have entered the end-game. The MOASS is beginning.”* 

I think most new apes will look at this, then look at the date of posting (three years ago), and think this is delusional thinking. They will say that MOASS did not ‘begin’ because it hasn’t happened yet. This would be pretty short sighted though, GME has always been a Deep Value investment, long positions are called long for a reason. ‘Buy and HODL’ is such a repeated mantra because that is the investment strategy most apes employ. Like most investments, it takes a long time to realize gains. Your retirement account will be growing for 40+ years before you cash that thing out, GME is my retirement plan so I don’t expect it to be much different.
Just because the sneeze happened in a week doesn’t mean MOASS will, in theory it should be a very long event as both the shorts and longs have a test of wills to see who caves first. However, the sneeze was the ‘beginning’ because it was exposed a lot of the fuckery that is going on in the market right now, I think that is the message that should be taken from this section.

*“These terms are key to understanding the theory and speculated value of a GME investment. Hyperlinks to Investopedia, "the world's leading source of financial content on the web", have been included for most market terms and concepts and it is recommended to check them out if they are not clear. We will be breaking down some of the more complex terms and concepts within the post and framing them within the context of GME.”* 

After the introduction, this post does a great job of explaining all the concepts of the stock market that are relevant to the MOASS thesis. However, I do wish it mentioned some other stock terms for the sake of new investors. Since none of the DD is supposed to be financial advice, I can’t really blame them for these omissions, but at the beginning the OP does say they wanted the post to be good for newer investors, so I think some more pointing in the right direction should’ve been provided. I do appreciate the link to Investopedia, but this DD is already a novel, and the average reader might forget about that link by the time they finish it. So an additional link should’ve been provided at the end.
The two big concepts I see missing are Options and Wash Sales/Stop-Losses.
Options are interesting because they create a different type of buying/selling pressure compared to just buying/selling stocks regularly. There are concepts like gamma ramps and stuff that can be relevant when discussing catalysts for price movement. However, options are pretty scary for most investors, I’ve only ever bought one, and forgot about it so it auto-exercised for me (lol), so it’s not a concept I would call essential. I just think it’s better to be educated than not.
The much more egregious omission is that of Wash Sales and Stop-Losses. Wash Sales are extremely dangerous to new investors who still make decisions based on emotions and are not used to the volatility that comes with GME.
If you are unfamiliar, a Wash Sale is when a person sells a stock at a loss, then buys the stock again within a short period of time. As an example, let’s say you bought a stock at $50, then the stock goes down to $40.00 and you no longer feel comfortable with your investment. You sell the stock at a loss. You lost $10.00 on this transaction, but it’s not all bad. When you go to do your taxes, you can report this $10.00 loss to the IRS. This is good because if you make a $10.00 profit off another trade, you now don’t have to take taxes out of that profit, since the IRS will see this as you breaking even in the grand scheme of your portfolio. You didn’t actually make any money, so they aren’t going to tax you for it.
A Wash Sale is triggered when you buy back the stock you sold in a short period of time, this can even apply if you buy a stock in the same sector. So if you buy a stock at $50.00, sell it at $40.00 then buy it again. That $10.00 loss you took can no longer be reported to the IRS as an actual loss. So when you make $10.00 on some other trade, the IRS won’t see you as breaking even, they will tax you on that $10.00.
For a stock as volatile as GME this can be very dangerous, I know people who brought in the peak, then as the price went back down they triggered a Stop-Loss (auto-sale you can program to trigger when a price falls), only to then buy back in when the stock dropped even lower, creating a wash sale that fucked their taxes.
We say “Buy and HODL” a lot, but I think the ‘why’ of it has been lost in the meme. I personally buy and HODL because averaging down is a lot better for me than accidently triggering a Wash Sale. I fucking hate the IRS and don’t want any of that smoke.

*“SPOILER: GME and \[Popcorn\] have tons of FTDs reported.”* 

I just kinda don’t like the mention of the Popcorn stock here, it has never been a deep value investment. If you are unfamiliar with the Deep Value investment strategy, please take a look at the old Roaring Kitty livestreams. In summary, Deep Value investing is defined by looking for stocks that are extremely undervalued and unpopular due to no fault of the company. These external factors that are making the stock undervalued can be anything, shorting, COVID, stuff like that. But what makes it a Deep Value investment is always strong management within the company. If the company is not mismanaged in any way, then it is very unlikely to go bankrupt, and will have opportunities to make a comeback. GME has Ryan Cohen leading, a proven successful businessman that has already taken precautions to ensure GameStop never goes bankrupt. Popcorn just doesn’t have that. It is very short-squeezable, but it’s not deep fucking value.

*“Short sellers must eventually close, or cover, their short position.”* 

Ok, but why ‘must’ they? This is another point I think has been lost in the memes. There are two problems with just saying ‘shorts must close’ without providing context. The first is the simple fact that there isn’t a due date. Unlike a common car loan or mortgage, a short position doesn’t operate on a time table. They can wait forever to close, unless they get margin called.
This next part I’m a little shaky on, I’m probably getting some things wrong here:
Ok, well how are they going to get margin called? The problem I see is that these Short Hedge Funds (SHF) are making a lot of money by selling naked shorts. It’s really hard to get margin called when they are literally printing money, and since they don’t have to report these their books just look to be filled with an infinite amount of cash.
So, there are a couple solutions to this:
1, Government regulation. If the SEC puts a stop to naked shorting, these SHF can’t print money anymore. Eventually the interest from their positions will eat them alive, and they will get margin called. Unfortunately, MOASS has the potential to destroy the economy like in 2008, so they probably aren’t too keen on just doing this without creating some kind of safety net. So I can’t really count on them to help, because the government has a vested interest in keeping MOASS from happening. It’s just not something I believe will be the catalyst. Although they might just do it on purpose given the right reason, like pinning the economic collapse on a scapegoat, or by GameStop forcing their hand by exposing the fraud somehow. I’ve seen a lot of apes hoping for one of these reasons to come to pass, but for me, I don’t see enough motivation from the participating parties.
2, A price run-up. If the price of the stock can unbalance the books of the SHF enough then they could also get margin called. I’m not counting on this either, since the price is manipulated by the process of naked shorting. Sure, they are digging a bigger grave when they suppress the price like this, but it can also help smaller SHFs with exiting their positions with OTC stuff. Over-The-Counter trades are trades made off the lit exchanges, historically it was intended to kind of simulate a transaction between two individuals, like buying a video game from a buddy off the books, no taxes, no regulation. Unfortunately, this is abused by institutions and can’t even be used by individuals, making dark pools of trades full of fraud and undermines the free market. Smaller SHFs that are more at risk of getting Margin Called due to their lack of collateral, can make OTC trades with the big naked-shorting market makers to ‘close’ their positions using fake shares. Of course, this only passes the buck so to speak, but it’s a viable strategy for them since the big SHFs that take on these ‘bucks’ are less likely to get margin called. A lot of historic short squeezes happen because a small SHF gets margin called, then drives the price up and causes a bigger SHF to get called, and so on until they’re all in the grave. This is why I don’t really give a shit if the price goes up to $80 in a week, it’s not enough, the buck has been passed. (To be clear, I don’t have proof that this is the reason for the uptick in OTC transactions, it’s just a theory. If a smarter ape than I can get on this that would be great.) But, even if a price run-up itself doesn’t cause MOASS, it may give motivation for the true trigger:
3, Interest Rates. Here is the big one that I look at, that I believe will be the true cause of MOASS. Now please, correct me if I’m wrong again, I am just an ape who dropped out of college. So, from what I understand a Short institution has to pay a certain amount of interest to the people they borrow the stocks from. This is the cost of borrowing and is how these Lenders make money. For a long time, the interest rate was at like 1%, this means that selling one naked short could cover the cost of the interest 100 times over. However, let’s say that the interest rate becomes 110%, sounds crazy, but this would mean that borrowing the share would cost more than the share. This would destroy the balances of the SHFs and ensure they get margin called. Why would this ever happen though? Because these lenders want to make money. These lenders are the real winners of MOASS, and they aren’t talked about enough in my opinion. Lenders can’t sell the shares they’ve lent out, their income is in the interest rates, there has to be a balance here between it being more profitable to lend the shares or to sell them. If Lenders start to think that lending their shares aren’t making them more money than the alternative, they will raise interest rates to make these profits until SHFs can’t pay them, then the SHFs have to return the shares, causing MOASS with the massive buyback, then lenders can just sell the shares on the way down. Lenders have a monetary business interest in causing MOASS, so they are the most likely cause of it in my opinion.

*“This is the GME MOASS thesis. GME is a stock that stands to hit an unprecedented price point due to the fact that manipulators of the market have failed to bankrupt GameStop thanks in huge part to the Legendary Keith Gill AKA* u(slash)DeepFuckingValue*, Ryan Cohen, and all of the GME investors who took part in this saga. It may not be today, this week, or even this month, but one day soon, these toxic participants have no choice but to buy the stock to close out their short positions.”* 

I don’t think this is necessarily inaccurate, but I think it’s misguided, and the language here is a bit to emotive for my taste. I think the reason the company didn’t go bankrupt is because of the strategic share offering made by Ryan Cohen to build up more cash than the company’s valuation (at the time). All the other stuff was just dressing, DFV and retail did not make RC do this, this move by RC is what ensured the company literally can’t go bankrupt, until then (and at the time this was posted) it was still a risk in my opinion. So this huge thanks feels kinda like a pre-cum celebration, and I've never really liked putting Keith on a pedestal, he's just an individual investor, just like the rest of us.
​
FAQ, Published April 12, 2021, by u(slash)BYE_TRIANGLE

*“Why does Holding do anything?”* *“They need your shares to cover their short positions! They got greedy. Thinking GameStop would fail, the short sellers started Naked Shorting the stock. Long story short they created synthetic stocks with their special privileges as Market Makers. But they can’t cover a short with a synthetic share. So because of the Naked Shorting, the Short Sellers, multiple large greedy money managers, and Hedge Funds need a total number of shares greater than the number available to purchase. THEY NEED EVERY SHARE, EVEN YOURS CONAN!”* *“aRe YoU GuYs MaNipuLatIng THe MaRKeT?!”* 

Holding does something else that I think is really important. It proves that retail is not responsible for the manipulation of the price. You see it in the mainstream media every time the price fluctuates, they say that retail and Roaring Kitty is driving the price up for the memes, and that the ‘meme stock craze is dead’ whenever the price falls, claiming that retail is selling. However, it quickly becomes clear to anyone with the willingness to research that retail holds. Holding doesn’t move the price at all, so they literally can’t blame this sub for the fuckery that happens.
Now, on the flip side, I know people on the old sub to buy and sell with these fluctuations, they did it during the sneeze and I’ve seen comments claiming to do it last week. I think this is why Roaring Kitty really had to speak to congress about this, because a legitimate-seeming argument could be made that retail was buying and selling at high volumes. The loss and gain porn on the old sub could be presented as evidence. Here though, apes hold, we glaze purple doughnuts.
So when MOASS does happen, the massive price increase will be only due to buying pressure from SHFs, so they are the only ones that can take the blame for what happens next.

*“No one knows how high the squeeze could take the stock price. The best rational reasoning says that these numbers \[500k per share\] are possible through the laws of supply and demand. Furthermore, it is likely that the Short Percentage is a lot higher than reported, with many suggesting that the short-sellers, cumulatively, need more than 100% of the float to cover.”* 

A lot of naysayers will claim people are insane for thinking that phone number prices are possible. They will cite that it would make the company’s valuation higher than the amount of money in the world, which is true. However, with the nature of fraudulent naked shorts being fake, the price is fake too, and the valuation of the company doesn’t necessarily mean that the whole float will be sold at those prices. Yes, it shouldn’t be possible, by all accounts it wouldn’t make sense, but it is possible due to the naked shorting. Also, institutions that own shares likely won’t HODL out for the phone number prices, they will sell when they think it’s safe, and when they won’t get in trouble with the SEC for destroying the economy. The infinity pool (the shares that will be sold at these prices) will be a small fraction of the total amount even among retail investors. So the argument that I see against the possibility of this doesn’t hold a lot of weight.
Keep in mind that even though ‘buying pressure’ moves the price up, someone has to be willing to sell in order for someone to buy. So as the price creeps up from $100 to $1000 to $100000 to $8675309 someone will be selling on the way up to get there.

*“Synthetic long positions could be used to disguise their short positions as well, the mechanisms behind this practice utilize the options markets and could explain some of the crazy options activity that we have seen in GameStop the last few months.”* 

So uhm… I don’t understand ‘Synthetic Longs’ at all. Could an ape with more wrinkles elaborate on this? From what I can extrapolate, this may refer to an institution purchasing a naked shorted share from someone else?

*“While at the same time they employed the use of social engineering to slowly depress the positive sentiment for the stock on Reddit and elsewhere.”* *“You may have been called a Shill for one of a number of reasons. This community is very inclusive and open to everyone, but because of the blatant attacks this forum has suffered a lot of people are understandably paranoid. (Myself included). Please, unless you really are a shill, don’t take it personally.”* 

I want to address this, because there is a lot of misconception about SuperStonk. A lot of people will claim that this sub is just an echo chamber cult that can’t handle anyone questioning the narrative. This may seem true on the surface, but I think the reality is just that we’ve become hyper sensitive to the social engineering the old sub fell victim to, and I remember this sub being attacked with that as well. So whenever we see a post that has extremely emotive language, we become skeptical and down vote it. Emotions have no place in investing, that is a common rule touted in even the oldest investing books, so posts that try to incite an emotional response are shot down. Apes aren’t about to be manipulated again. That being said there are emotive posts that still get upvoted, ones with positive hype-filled narratives. Since these get upvoted and the negative ones don’t that sometimes gives the impression of an echo chamber. This is because the facts do support the MOASS thesis, so a hype title and opening paragraph is just more agreeable with the facts-based narrative. Some people are just scrolling on their phone and don’t have time to read the whole post.
However, if you go into the comments of these posts, there are apes investigating the profile history to determine if posters are bots, regardless of the pushed narrative. If you look past the upvote counter, apes are very skeptical of any post that isn’t based in fact or harmless memes. The comments rule the post, and I have to say I’ve very proud of this sub for staying vigilant in the wake of Reddit restricting moderation tools.

*“Ryan Cohen clearly believes in Gamestop, to the point of announcing that he will be taking equity as compensation. In fact, as of writing this all of the new Gamestop board members are going to be taking equity as compensation. This is seen as an incredibly bullish sign of the company's future success.”* 

This is one of the principles of Deep Value investing, I wish this was elaborated on more of why this is bullish. This means that the board, and more importantly Ryan Cohen, is tying their individual self-worth to the company. Due to this tie, they will essentially ‘go down with the ship’ if the company goes down. This means that the board and Ryan actually have an interest in the company doing well, instead of having an interest in making money off the company. You may think this sounds like the same thing, but it’s not. If RC cared more about money than the company, then he could destroy the company to make money (this is what’s happening to popcorn), but by tying his worth to the shares, the only way for him to become richer is for the company to flourish.
I don’t really like the language being used here, stuff like ‘clearly believes’ ‘seen as incredibly bullish’ are all pretty emotive and doesn’t actually explain why these are positive growth signs for the company, they are just saying it is ‘bullish’, the average new investor isn’t even going to know what that really means. Even though GME is extremely manipulated, causing Technical Analysis to become increasingly difficult to depend on, the investment is still rooted in fundamentals of deep value.

*“Below is a shortlist of some of the potential catalysts people are speculating about:* 

-A Stock Split, or some similar move from Gamestop that recalls shares
-Gamma Squeeze
-Gamestop’s Q1 Earnings Call
-Some speculate Gary Gensler (Newly appointed head of the SEC), may make some move that sets things in motion
-DTCC rule changes taking effect
-Appointment of a new CEO”
Yeah… this feels bad man. I’ve talked about this already, but we can rapid fire down this list.
The stock split didn’t work out, since those in charge of distributing the splits did it fraudulently. Gamma Squeeze is the kind of thing that could trigger a smaller hedge fund to get margin called and cause a domino effect, but I’ve shared my theory of the OTC action. Earnings are nice, but public sentiment has always been more tied to the media manipulation than actual facts. Fucking Gary.
On the subject of bringing in new talent, I do feel like a big move will happen soon. We’ve already seen a lot of job offerings from the Corporate side of GameStop so this could be the next phase of the plan. I really think that RC has spent these last few years taking precautions to make sure the company can’t go bankrupt, the last thing he wants is to turn out like Toys-R-Us. A lot of downsizing happened, so now he can start thinking about upsizing again.
I’m not necessarily saying that these things can’t trigger the squeeze, but I am saying that depending on something to start it is just inviting disappointment. I think the ‘no dates’ rule has been sorely forgotten lately with all the hype and speculation around Roaring Kitty’s tweets and stuff. I am a zen ape, it happens when it happens.

*“First of all, it is incredibly important to note your potential biases when determining if someone is just a shill trying to spread FUD. Not all FUD is invalid, someone may bring up a solid point against an otherwise great DD, and that could scare you. Remember that just because you do not like what someone is saying, doesn’t make it invalid. It is important users here work with constructive criticism to refine their theories.”* 

Damn, wasn’t I just talking about this? This critique isn’t going to just be wagging fingers, this is really good stuff that still applies today, and from what I’ve seen apes are doing a great job of distinguishing between FUD and legitimate criticism. I also want to take a second to thank the mod team, especially after their tools were restricted, they’ve been a great help.

*“…but since then retail investors have been buying on every single dip in the price… That's more than two whole months of buying-the-dip. Now, I will not speculate on numbers here, if you want to know more you will have to read the DDs on that.”* 

This is pretty outdated now. Apes have been buying for three years now, and with the advent of Direct Registering we have a much better idea of how much apes hold. I can say with confidence now that retail owns a floats worth of shares. Since there is so much naked shorting, a lot of institutions probably own their own floats too.
I glaze those purple doughnuts, yum.

Citadel Has No Clothes, Published March 14, 2021, by u(slash)ATOBITT
Ohhhh, this one is special to me, I read it when it first came out, first time I was there on release night. Let’s see how it hodls up.

*“TL;DR - Citadel Securities has been fined 58 times for violating FINRA, REGSHO & SEC regulations. Several instances are documented as 'willful' naked shorting. In Dec 2020 they reported an increase in their short position of 127.57% YOY, and I'm calling bullsh\*t on their shenanigans.”* 

58 times. I don’t actually know how much that number has gone up, but I’m sure it has. I am reminded of an old saying, that if the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it only a crime for the poor. The crime being done to GME is class warfare, it’s nothing less.

*“$295,347,948,000 of that is split into options (calls & puts), while $78,979,887,238 (20.52%) is allocated to actual, physical, shares (or so they say). The rest is convertible debt securities.”* 

This is why I’m skeptical that it’s even possible for Citadel to get margin called by a normal price run-up. Let’s do some math here. GME’s float is at 232 million-ish shares, let’s say they shorted 300% of that, just to be conservative (lmao), so that’s 696 million. To take what the first post said, Margins don’t get called unless an entities’ collateral becomes less than 80% of what they’ve borrowed. If they use their entire $384,926,232,238 portfolio as collateral, then GME would have to soar to a price of… divide by 4, multiply by 5… $691.32 per share. That may sound relatively reasonable, but I don’t think a normal catalyst would be enough for that. I really think interest rates are the key, think about it, if they have to pay like 30% interest on all of those shares, their portfolio will be reduced by that much (kinda) and we can find a much more reasonable midpoint. Now brace yourselves, I’m about to spend an unreasonable amount of effort on something that is probably wrong because I don’t know shit about fuck about margins or getting called (I have a cash account and I lack rizz).
In order to calculate that we gotta do one of those double equation variable bullshit things we all hated in school, I forgot what they were called but I remember how to do them.
So, we have a few variables:
C = Citadel’s Portfolio = $384,926,232,238
S = Shorted Shares = 696,000,000
I = Intrest = 0.30
X = Price Per Share
Y = Citadel’s new portfolio amount after paying interest
So, X and Y are undetermined, but we have two equations to work with
C – I(X*S) = Y
This one calculates how much money is going to be in citadels new portfolio after paying interest, we calculate the interest by multiplying the cost per share, by the amount of shorted shares, and multiplying that by the interest rate, then subtracting it from their total portfolio.
Y * 1.25 = X * S
This one calculates the total amount those shorted shares have to be in order for Citadel to get margin called, by multiplying their new portfolio by 5/4 and calculating the total cost of the shares.
X * S has a direct value; we can plug the left side of the second equation into the first to get
C – I(Y*1.25) = Y
Now we just gotta isolate Y on one side of the equation.
C = Y + 0.3(Y*1.25)
C = 1.3Y * 0.375
C= 0.4875Y
C * 0.4875 = Y
Y = $187,651,538,216.03
Now we gotta find X, we can just plug in the other stuff.
(Y* 1.25)/ 696,000,000 = X
X = $337.02 per share for shitadel to get margin called on 30% interest.
Holy shit, now that’s what I call reasonable. See how much interest can completely fuck a portfolio? They lost almost half of their portfolio value to a 30% interest to this. This is why the whole market will bleed red on the run up to MOASS, they will have to sell half of their portfolio just to pay the interest.
Citadel is probably not a good example of this, since they print the naked shorts themselves... so they would be paying interest to... themselves... when they borrow them? Citadel is so fucked up, I don't have enough wrinkles for this.
But hey, I think the concept of what I said is fine. High interest rates can reduce collateral and cause margin calls. Hey, just out of curiosity, how much is the borrowing interest rate looking now?
16.5%
SHF are fucked.
​
Anyway, I’m writing this on a Wordpad document so I’m not sure if I’ve come up on the character limit, but I think I’m getting close so I’ll end this part here. Please let me know what I’ve got wrong or any insights you want to share, I’ll be sure to talk about any interesting comments when I do a part 2!
TLDR: I am reviewing the Diamond Handbook (2nd) and seeing what has changed in the three years since it’s been compiled. I have a bias in thinking that high borrowing interest rates are what will cause MOASS, and that is shown here. This is not meant to be an impartial analysis, just my thoughts. Not financial advice.
