What is a novel coronavirus?**\n\n> A coronavirus is actually the name for a set of illnesses, including the common cold and other respiratory infections. A novel coronavirus means it\u2019s a new virus that originated in animals, but has jumped to humans. This particular 2019 novel coronavirus from Wuhan is called COVID-19 or 2019-nCoV.\n\n \n\n**How does the COVID-19 spread?**\n\n> This virus is really transmissible and can spread easily from person to person even before a person develops symptoms. It\u2019s carried on respiratory droplets when we talk, sneeze, and cough and these can land on surfaces or in someone\u2019s mouth or nose.  When it comes to respiratory droplets, 6 feet is the magic distance. That\u2019s how far these tiny, infected droplets can travel.  Being within 6 feet of someone who is sick can get you or your personal space contaminated with COVID-19.  \n\n> When droplets land on surfaces, we can pick them up with our hands and transfer them to our eyes, mouth, and nose when we touch our faces. This is why hand hygiene is so important.  Respiratory secretions (like snot and sputum) are also infectious so cover your coughs and sneezes.\n\n\n \n\n**What are the symptoms of the virus? Is it deadly?** \n\n> It typically causes flu-like symptoms. Some patients \u2014 particularly the elderly and others with other chronic health conditions \u2014 develop a severe form of pneumonia.\n\n> Patients develop symptoms like fever, muscle and body aches, cough, and sore throat about 5-6 days after infection. Most people will feel pretty miserable for a week and get better on their own.  Some people won\u2019t get as sick, but it\u2019s still important not to be out and about, so as not to spread the disease.  A minority of patients will get worse instead of better. This usually happens after 5-7 days of illness and these patients will have more shortness of breath and worsening cough.  If this happens, it\u2019s time to contact your doctor again or even go to an emergency room. Be sure to call first so they know you are coming.  \n\n> The numbers of people who have been diagnosed and how many have died are changing daily. As of early March, there have been over 97,000 confirmed cases, with a death toll of about 3,000 (more than 2,900 in mainland China). But these numbers are just estimates; it\u2019s still unclear how many people have actually been infected worldwide. Most of the deaths have been in adults over 60 years old who had other health concerns.\n\n \n\n**Are we all at risk for catching this new coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?**\n\n> Yes. It doesn\u2019t appear anyone is naturally immune to this particular virus and there\u2019s no reason to believe anybody has antibodies that would normally protect them. \n\n> The lack of previous experience with this pathogen is part of the reason why public health officials around the globe are working so hard to contain the spread of this particular coronavirus from Wuhan. When viruses come out like this that are both new (which means the population is highly susceptible) and can easily pass from person to person (a high transmission rate), they can be really dangerous \u2014 even if here\u2019s a low percentage of people who die from them. \n\n \n\n**Why do some people with the COVID-19 get sicker than others?**\n\n> It looks like only about 20% of people who contract this novel coronavirus need to be hospitalized. The other 80% get what feels like a bad cold and recover at home. A lot of this has to do with underlying medical conditions. People who are more vulnerable to any kind of infection \u2014 because of their age or chronic health conditions \u2014 are more at risk for getting really sick from COVID-19. \n\n> That said, some otherwise healthy people do seem to be getting sicker from this infection than we would expect. We don\u2019t understand why that is or what might be different about these patients. If you have COVID-19 and you are getting sicker and sicker instead of better and better, you should contact your doctor or visit an ER. Be sure to call first so they know to expect you.  \n\n \n\n**What kind of medical care do patients with COVID-19 need?**\n\n> About 80% of people who contract this new coronavirus will feel sick, but ultimately be just fine. It\u2019s the 20% of COVID-19 patients who get really, really sick that worry many of us in the infectious diseases field. A lot of these critically ill patients wind up needing to be hospitalized for their pneumonia-like illnesses. They typically require critical care and ventilation \u2014 special machines that help them breathe. And some need to stay on ventilators for weeks at a time. It\u2019s this portion of patients that is most concerning. Depending on how many cases develop here in the U.S., providing that level of care for so many people over a number of weeks runs the risk of overwhelming the nation\u2019s health care system pretty quickly. We can help prevent this kind of \u201csurge\u201d in patients by practicing social distancing (see below for more explanation). \n\n \n\n**Should people be more concerned about the seasonal flu or COVID-19?**\n \n> There\u2019s widespread seasonal flu activity going on right now all around the U.S.  But there are steps you can take to protect yourself from influenza. You can get an annual flu shot. You can take medication like Tamiflu that protects you from getting influenza after you\u2019ve been exposed. You can cover your mouth and wash your hands to mitigate the spread. And, like clockwork, this year\u2019s influenza strain is going to die out in the spring because it will have run its course. \n\n> The challenge with COVID-19 is that we probably can\u2019t contain it and we don\u2019t know if we\u2019re really prepared as a country for a massive coronavirus epidemic.  If we are lucky, it will slow down a bit over the summer but the next few months look like they are going to be pretty tough for all of us. We need to be as ready as we can for whatever comes our way and know that we will get through it eventually. \n\n \n\n**How can I protect myself?  Should I wear a facemask?**\n  \n> Take the preventive actions you do for the cold and flu. This includes avoiding close contact with people who are sick; not touching your eyes, nose and mouth; washing your hands thoroughly and frequently; and cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces you come in contact with regularly.\n\n> The CDC does not recommend you wear a facemask to protect yourself from getting COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses. Those who have COVID-19 and/or are showing symptoms should wear a mask to protect others from getting the virus.  Any healthcare worker taking care of someone infected with COVID-19 also should wear a mask.\n\n \n\n**Can I take an antibiotic or vaccinate against the virus?**\n \n> There is no antibiotic (they are designed for bacterial infections, not viral ones) to treat COVID-19.  Scientists are already working on a vaccine, but we don\u2019t expect to have a good vaccine until spring of 2021 at the earliest.  However, ongoing trials in China suggest that there are some existing antiviral drugs that may be helpful for the sickest patients.  In fact, the University of Chicago is part of a multi-institutional team that has mapped a protein of SARS-CoV-2 and found drugs previously in development for SARS could be effective for COVID-19.\n\n> For now, doctors can only treat the symptoms, not the virus itself.", "author_fullname": "t2_p1m75", "saved": false, "mod_reason_title": null, "gilded": 0, "clicked": false, "title": "COVID-19 Megathread #5", "link_flair_richtext": [], "subreddit_name_prefixed": "r/news", "hidden": false, "pwls": 6, "link_flair_css_class": null, "downs": 0, "thumbnail_height": null, "top_awarded_type": null, "hide_score": false, "name": "t3_fge7ve", "quarantine": false, "link_flair_text_color": "dark", "upvote_ratio": 0.95, "author_flair_background_color": null, "subreddit_type": "public", "ups": 1332, "total_awards_received": 0, "media_embed": {}, "thumbnail_width": null, "author_flair_template_id": null, "is_original_content": false, "user_reports": [], "secure_media": null, "is_reddit_media_domain": false, "is_meta": false, "category": null, "secure_media_embed": {}, "link_flair_text": null, "can_mod_post": false, "score": 1332, "approved_by": null, "is_created_from_ads_ui": false, "author_premium": false, "thumbnail": "self", "edited": 1584156482.0, "author_flair_css_class": null, "author_flair_richtext": [], "gildings": {}, "post_hint": "self", "content_categories": null, "is_self": true, "mod_note": null, "created": 1583848724.0, "link_flair_type": "text", "wls": 6, "removed_by_category": null, "banned_by": null, "author_flair_type": "text", "domain": "self.news", "allow_live_comments": true, "selftext_html": "<!-- SC_OFF --><div class=\"md\"><p><strong>This post is updated daily.</strong></p>\n\n<p>You can also follow the <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/live/14d816ty1ylvo/\">Reddit Live thread here.</a></p>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p>COVID-19 has now infected more than 144,890 people.

What is a novel coronavirus?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>A coronavirus is actually the name for a set of illnesses, including the common cold and other respiratory infections. A novel coronavirus means it\u2019s a new virus that originated in animals, but has jumped to humans. This particular 2019 novel coronavirus from Wuhan is called COVID-19 or 2019-nCoV.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>How does the COVID-19 spread?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>This virus is really transmissible and can spread easily from person to person even before a person develops symptoms. It\u2019s carried on respiratory droplets when we talk, sneeze, and cough and these can land on surfaces or in someone\u2019s mouth or nose.  When it comes to respiratory droplets, 6 feet is the magic distance. That\u2019s how far these tiny, infected droplets can travel.  Being within 6 feet of someone who is sick can get you or your personal space contaminated with COVID-19.  </p>\n\n<p>When droplets land on surfaces, we can pick them up with our hands and transfer them to our eyes, mouth, and nose when we touch our faces. This is why hand hygiene is so important.  Respiratory secretions (like snot and sputum) are also infectious so cover your coughs and sneezes.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>What are the symptoms of the virus? Is it deadly?</strong> </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>It typically causes flu-like symptoms. Some patients \u2014 particularly the elderly and others with other chronic health conditions \u2014 develop a severe form of pneumonia.</p>\n\n<p>Patients develop symptoms like fever, muscle and body aches, cough, and sore throat about 5-6 days after infection. Most people will feel pretty miserable for a week and get better on their own.  Some people won\u2019t get as sick, but it\u2019s still important not to be out and about, so as not to spread the disease.  A minority of patients will get worse instead of better. This usually happens after 5-7 days of illness and these patients will have more shortness of breath and worsening cough.  If this happens, it\u2019s time to contact your doctor again or even go to an emergency room. Be sure to call first so they know you are coming.  </p>\n\n<p>The numbers of people who have been diagnosed and how many have died are changing daily. As of early March, there have been over 97,000 confirmed cases, with a death toll of about 3,000 (more than 2,900 in mainland China). But these numbers are just estimates; it\u2019s still unclear how many people have actually been infected worldwide. Most of the deaths have been in adults over 60 years old who had other health concerns.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Are we all at risk for catching this new coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yes. It doesn\u2019t appear anyone is naturally immune to this particular virus and there\u2019s no reason to believe anybody has antibodies that would normally protect them. </p>\n\n<p>The lack of previous experience with this pathogen is part of the reason why public health officials around the globe are working so hard to contain the spread of this particular coronavirus from Wuhan. When viruses come out like this that are both new (which means the population is highly susceptible) and can easily pass from person to person (a high transmission rate), they can be really dangerous \u2014 even if here\u2019s a low percentage of people who die from them. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Why do some people with the COVID-19 get sicker than others?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>It looks like only about 20% of people who contract this novel coronavirus need to be hospitalized. The other 80% get what feels like a bad cold and recover at home. A lot of this has to do with underlying medical conditions. People who are more vulnerable to any kind of infection \u2014 because of their age or chronic health conditions \u2014 are more at risk for getting really sick from COVID-19. </p>\n\n<p>That said, some otherwise healthy people do seem to be getting sicker from this infection than we would expect. We don\u2019t understand why that is or what might be different about these patients. If you have COVID-19 and you are getting sicker and sicker instead of better and better, you should contact your doctor or visit an ER. Be sure to call first so they know to expect you.  </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>What kind of medical care do patients with COVID-19 need?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>About 80% of people who contract this new coronavirus will feel sick, but ultimately be just fine. It\u2019s the 20% of COVID-19 patients who get really, really sick that worry many of us in the infectious diseases field. A lot of these critically ill patients wind up needing to be hospitalized for their pneumonia-like illnesses. They typically require critical care and ventilation \u2014 special machines that help them breathe. And some need to stay on ventilators for weeks at a time. It\u2019s this portion of patients that is most concerning. Depending on how many cases develop here in the U.S., providing that level of care for so many people over a number of weeks runs the risk of overwhelming the nation\u2019s health care system pretty quickly. We can help prevent this kind of \u201csurge\u201d in patients by practicing social distancing (see below for more explanation). </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Should people be more concerned about the seasonal flu or COVID-19?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s widespread seasonal flu activity going on right now all around the U.S.  But there are steps you can take to protect yourself from influenza. You can get an annual flu shot. You can take medication like Tamiflu that protects you from getting influenza after you\u2019ve been exposed. You can cover your mouth and wash your hands to mitigate the spread. And, like clockwork, this year\u2019s influenza strain is going to die out in the spring because it will have run its course. </p>\n\n<p>The challenge with COVID-19 is that we probably can\u2019t contain it and we don\u2019t know if we\u2019re really prepared as a country for a massive coronavirus epidemic.  If we are lucky, it will slow down a bit over the summer but the next few months look like they are going to be pretty tough for all of us. We need to be as ready as we can for whatever comes our way and know that we will get through it eventually. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>How can I protect myself?  Should I wear a facemask?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Take the preventive actions you do for the cold and flu. This includes avoiding close contact with people who are sick; not touching your eyes, nose and mouth; washing your hands thoroughly and frequently; and cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces you come in contact with regularly.</p>\n\n<p>The CDC does not recommend you wear a facemask to protect yourself from getting COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses. Those who have COVID-19 and/or are showing symptoms should wear a mask to protect others from getting the virus.  Any healthcare worker taking care of someone infected with COVID-19 also should wear a mask.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Can I take an antibiotic or vaccinate against the virus?</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>There is no antibiotic (they are designed for bacterial infections, not viral ones) to treat COVID-19.  Scientists are already working on a vaccine, but we don\u2019t expect to have a good vaccine until spring of 2021 at the earliest.  However, ongoing trials in China suggest that there are some existing antiviral drugs that may be helpful for the sickest patients.  In fact, the University of Chicago is part of a multi-institutional team that has mapped a protein of SARS-CoV-2 and found drugs previously in development for SARS could be effective for COVID-19.</p>\n\n<p>For now, doctors can only treat the symptoms, not the virus itself.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</div><!-- SC_ON -->", "likes": null, "suggested_sort": "new", "banned_at_utc": null, "view_count": null, "archived": true, "no_follow": false, "is_crosspostable": false, "pinned": false, "over_18": false, "preview": {"images": [{"source": {"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/1XRzrD4BVPLQj-Lqh5HmejPCGyys12y9dBWoF0cVA-4.jpg?auto=webp&s=2bac0841487e0e77bd15306b5ebf1561c47338c5", "width": 140, "height": 140}, "resolutions": [{"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/1XRzrD4BVPLQj-Lqh5HmejPCGyys12y9dBWoF0cVA-4.jpg?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f393dd15f32daa25cdbd1dfed98a6b59147e780f", "width": 108, "height": 108}], "variants": {}, "id": "2SFRcwXAgIPRfZnZG6Gd276Bqe9JaZBkMoZu1MECgsA"}], "enabled": false}, "all_awardings": [], "awarders": [], "media_only": false, "can_gild": false, "spoiler": false, "locked": false, "author_flair_text": null, "treatment_tags": [], "visited": false, "removed_by": null, "num_reports": null, "distinguished": "moderator", "subreddit_id": "t5_2qh3l", "author_is_blocked": false, "mod_reason_by": null, "removal_reason": null, "link_flair_background_color": "", "id": "fge7ve", "is_robot_indexable": true, "report_reasons": null, "author": "RNews_Mod", "discussion_type": null, "num_comments": 9723, "send_replies": false, "contest_mode": false, "mod_reports": [], "author_patreon_flair": false, "author_flair_text_color": null, "permalink": "/r/news/comments/fge7ve/covid19_megathread_5/", "stickied": false, "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/fge7ve/covid19_megathread_5/", "subreddit_subscribers": 31379263, "created_utc": 1583848724.0, "num_crossposts": 0, "media": null, "is_video": false}}, {"kind": "t3", "data": {"approved_at_utc": null, "subreddit": "CFB", "selftext": "**GAME** | [Penn State](#f/pennstate)Penn State @ [Iowa](#f/iowa)Iowa\n--:|:-- \n**Location** | [Iowa](#f/iowa) Kinnick Stadium \n**Time** | 7:30PM ET \u00a6 6:30PM CT\n**Watch** | **TV:** [ABC](#l/abc) \n**Odds** | *Spread:* [Penn State](#f/pennstate) -3.5 - *Over/Under:* 43\n|| [Flair](http://flair.redditcfb.com) \u00a6 [Merch](https://shop.redditcfb.com) \u00a6 [Chat](https://discord.gg/qAD9YX7)\n||Made with the /r/CFB [Game Thread Generator](https://gamethread.redditcfb.com)\n\nThe unstoppable Nittany Lions travel to Iowa City in hopes of a win.

If you are highly sensitive to what you consider to be a spoiler, do not scroll past this point.**\n\n-----\n\n##Spoiler Policy\n\nEveryone has different ideas as to what constitutes a spoiler and what is worthy of spoiler tags and protection. When we determine our spoiler policies, we try to walk the line between enabling discussion on details of the game without ruining people's chances to discover new experiences in the game themselves. \n\nThe balance that we strike is as follows:\n\n### Non Spoilers - Discussion of these items does not require a spoiler tag and is allowed in any threads\n* Anything seen in gameplay from the Aonuma demonstration or the recent preview event\n* Anything seen in **officially released** ads\n* Anything seen in **officially released** trailers\n\n### Spoilers - Requires spoiler tags `>!spoiler!<`\n* Names or details for new characters (even ones seen in trailers)\n* Overall plot details and discussion\n* Gameplay elements not revealed before launch (info about shrines, dungeons, etc.)\n\n### **Failure to properly adhere to the spoiler policy may result in a ban. Don\u2019t ruin the experience for others!**\n\n---\n\n## Other items\n\nPer our standard rules, linking to emulators and ROM sites is not allowed. We will also remove comments from users attempting to instruct or lead others in emulation or obtaining ROMs.", "author_fullname": "t2_14d3cp", "saved": false, "mod_reason_title": null, "gilded": 0, "clicked": false, "title": "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Review MegaThread", "link_flair_richtext": [{"e": "text", "t": "MegaThread"}], "subreddit_name_prefixed": "r/NintendoSwitch", "hidden": false, "pwls": 6, "link_flair_css_class": "mod-post-tinted", "downs": 0, "thumbnail_height": null, "top_awarded_type": null, "hide_score": false, "name": "t3_13ek0tf", "quarantine": false, "link_flair_text_color": "light", "upvote_ratio": 0.92, "author_flair_background_color": "transparent", "subreddit_type": "public", "ups": 8698, "total_awards_received": 0, "media_embed": {}, "thumbnail_width": null, "author_flair_template_id": "29dbca68-2ae9-11e9-8f05-0e18b1db1596", "is_original_content": false, "user_reports": [], "secure_media": null, "is_reddit_media_domain": false, "is_meta": false, "category": null, "secure_media_embed": {}, "link_flair_text": "MegaThread", "can_mod_post": false, "score": 8698, "approved_by": null, "is_created_from_ads_ui": false, "author_premium": false, "thumbnail": "self", "edited": 1683811321.0, "author_flair_css_class": "mod-distinguished", "author_flair_richtext": [{"a": ":mod:", "e": "emoji", "u": "https://emoji.redditmedia.com/9jo1bo68v5f21_t5_3h47q/mod"}], "gildings": {}, "post_hint": "self", "content_categories": null, "is_self": true, "mod_note": null, "created": 1683803020.0, "link_flair_type": "richtext", "wls": 6, "removed_by_category": null, "banned_by": null, "author_flair_type": "richtext", "domain": "self.NintendoSwitch", "allow_live_comments": true, "selftext_html": "<!-- SC_OFF --><div class=\"md\"><h1>General Information</h1>\n\n<p>Release date: May 12, 2023</p>\n\n<p>No. of players: Single System (1)</p>\n\n<p>Genre: Adventure, Action, Role-Playing</p>\n\n<p>Publisher: Nintendo</p>\n\n<p>ESRB rating: Everyone 10+</p>\n\n<p>Supported play modes: TV mode, Tabletop mode, Handheld mode</p>\n\n<p>Game file size: 16.3 GB</p>\n\n<p>Supported languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese</p>\n\n<p>Official website: <a href=\"https://www.zelda.com/tears-of-the-kingdom/\">https://www.zelda.com/tears-of-the-kingdom/</a></p>\n\n<h1>Overview (from Nintendo eShop page)</h1>\n\n<p>An epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits in The Legend of Zelda\u2122: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch\u2122.

First is that Yahoo is showing completely different values depending on your IP. Try using a VPN with a different country and you'll see.\n\nSecond is that I stumbled upon the ***ENTIRE FUCKING GAME PLAN*** of the naked shorting scheme. I guess an insider spilled the beans anonymously on some forum in 2004.\n\nWhat is going on with GME over the last 9 months is a game plan called \"Cellar Boxing\".\n\n**The link is at the end of this post. If you don't give a FUCK about the Yahoo data, then just skip to the end and read that. Seriously EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THAT POST. It is like the holy grail. I got emotional reading it as it confirmed all of our combined DD about naked shorting, rule exemptions, dividends, zombies, even talks about shills.....EVERYTHING... in one fell swoop.**\n\nI wrote all this Yahoo stuff before I found that link and I just had to stop and stare at the wall for a bit.. This was going to be a much longer post, but I decided to just stick to the facts without speculative walls of text so you're not overwhelmed.\n\nBecause trust me, reading that post from 2004 is going to blow your fucking mind. It blew mine and everyone I showed it to.\n\nOkay so first point:\n\nHere's the Yahoo data from my IP in the USA\n\n​\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/0v9ody3ujxm71.png?width=546&format=png&auto=webp&s=99ce6f08beff4e7d7ad75923efb9e0dbc1f29c92\n\n​\n\nHere's the data from a European VPN\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/z4qg2kkwjxm71.png?width=831&format=png&auto=webp&s=93ca4f7615b0ced4f26f2eae9ce1d20f6c4eb209\n\nFirst thing that stands out to me is Enterprise Value.\n\nAccording to\n\n[https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/whats-difference-between-enterprise-value-and-market-capitalization.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/whats-difference-between-enterprise-value-and-market-capitalization.asp)\n\nMarket capitalization is the sum total of all the outstanding shares of a company. **Enterprise value takes into account** the debt that the company has taken on. Enterprise value, therefore, can identify strengths or weaknesses that market cap cannot.\n\nAnd [https://www.arborinvestmentplanner.com/enterprise-value-ev-calculating-enterprise-value-ratios/](https://www.arborinvestmentplanner.com/enterprise-value-ev-calculating-enterprise-value-ratios/)\n\n**A company with more debt than cash will have** an enterprise value greater than its market capitalization. Companies with identical market capitalizations can have radically different enterprise values.\n\n\\-----------------------------------------------\n\nI had thought perhaps they're doing some kind of fuckery with convertible preferred shares, or convertible bonds. Which they very well may be, but I can't prove that right this second. So I leave this idea in speculation land.\n\nBut let's hand it off to u/semerien for the actual reason for this discrepancy:\n\n**Total cash per share is 5.64**\n\n**Cash at 1.72 billion**\n\n**Which means Yahoo thinks there is just over 300 million shares**\n\n**Enterprise value is using that share count at current price**\n\n**57 billion for ev using 304 million shares at 190 price, cash at 1.7B and debt at 0.7 billion**\n\n***I may have rounded every single number cuz I'm lazy but what's a few 100 million in rounding errors***\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------Okay ok gimme my mic back lmao\n\nSo.. No speculation. Mathematical Fact: Yahoo's calculating on 300M\\~ shares for outside USA when factoring Enterprise Value.\n\nWhere does Yahoo get this data?\n\n[https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance-for-web/SLN2310.html?locale=en\\_US](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance-for-web/SLN2310.html?locale=en_US)\n\n* Financial statements, valuation ratios, market cap and shares outstanding data provided by Morningstar.\n\nOkay so Yahoo gets this specific data from Morningstar.\n\nWho does Morningstar get it's data from?\n\n[https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1289419/000110465906031591/a06-11178\\_28k.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1289419/000110465906031591/a06-11178_28k.htm)\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\n*We collect most of our data from original source documents that are publicly available, such as regulatory filings and fund company documents.

This information is available at no cost.*\n\n***For performance-related information (including total returns, net asset values, dividends, and capital gains), we receive daily electronic updates from individual fund companies, transfer agents, and custodians.*** *We don\u2019t need to pay any fees to obtain this performance data. In some markets we supplement this information with a standard market feed such as Nasdaq for daily net asset values, which we use for quality assurance and filling in any gaps in fund-specific performance data. We also receive most of the details on underlying portfolio holdings for mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and variable annuities electronically from fund companies, custodians, and transfer agents.*\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\nSo that answers the question as to why the float changed from **126M to 248M** in the same day.\n\nThis is not a glitch.\n\nOne way or the other, the data got pushed \"***from individual fund companies, transfer agents, and custodians\"*** *to Morningstar, to Yahoo.* Intraday.\n\nWhy Morningstar shows different than Yahoo? I won't speculate. But it can't be a glitch. Just based on the source and how it's updated. Speculate on why or how they're censoring it, not on it being a glitch.\n\nThese different values I believe are important because they paint a picture of intent to hide the true data. It's bits of the real data slipping through the cracks.\n\nLet's look at the numbers:\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\n**Enterprise Value in USA = 14.22B**\n\n**Forward P/E in USA = 36.67**\n\n**--**\n\n**Enterprise Value in other countries = 57.07B**\n\n**Forward P/E in other countries = $6,347.00**\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\nEV is calculated on 300 ish million shares. People say \"Yahoo's data is always screwy\". I don't think that's true. I think it's the opposite. The market is always being FUCKED with. As you'll see in the post I'm going to link to. And Yahoo just has a hard time cleaning it up and censoring it. Because of SO MUCH FUCKERY. And sometimes shit slips through unintentionally.\n\nForward P/E.. What the fuck is forward P/E some of you might be wondering?\n\n*(Side note: Yahoo gets this data from a data analytics company called Refinitiv.)*\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\n[*https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/forwardpe.asp*](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/forwardpe.asp)\n\n*Forward price-to-earnings (forward P/E) is a version of the ratio of* *price-to-earnings* *(P/E) that uses forecasted earnings for the P/E calculation.*\n\n[*https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/050515/what-does-forward-pe-indicate-about-company.asp*](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/050515/what-does-forward-pe-indicate-about-company.asp)\n\n*A company with a higher forward P/E ratio than the industry or market average indicates* ***an expectation the company is likely to experience a significant amount of growth***\\*. ... Ultimately, the P/E ratio is a metric that allows investors to determine how valuable a stock is, more so than the market price alone.\\*\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\nHere's an example for Tesla:\n\n[https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:TSLA/explorer/pe\\_ltm](https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:TSLA/explorer/pe_ltm)\n\n*\"Tesla's p/e ratio for fiscal years ending December 2016 to 2020 averaged 211.2x. Tesla's operated at median p/e ratio of -37.2x from fiscal years ending December 2016 to 2020. Looking back at the last five years, Tesla's p/e ratio peaked in December 2020 at 1,255.0x.\"*\n\nSo we all know what happened with Tesla. The P/E ratio seems to be pretty good at calculating the growth. The higher the number, the bigger the growth. A number in the thousands is basically **\"Oh shit we got a winner\".**\n\nThing is, you get the number by calculating the share price divided by the estimated future earnings per share.\n\n*\"For example, assume that a company has a current share price of $50 and this year\u2019s earnings per share are $5. Analysts estimate that the company's earnings will grow by 10% over the next fiscal year. The company has a current P/E ratio of $50 / 5 = 10x. \"*\n\nWell Gamestop's at 190, let's say for what ever crazy fucking reason we're expecting future earnings per share to be at 5 dollars per share. We're currently expecting around 1 dollar in January but for sake of argument let's pretend it's $5.\n\n$190 / 5 = 38.\n\nOkay interesting so far that makes sense for the USA calculation roughly.\n\nBut HOW THE FUCK DO WE GET **$6,347?**\n\nIt's impossible. Unless.. wait a sec..\n\n$31,735 / 5 = **$6,347**\n\nCould it be the true value of GME is actually $31,735 right now?\n\nI mean even if we use the 1 dollar per share earning thing from January, that's still assuming CURRENT VALUE = **$6,347 per share....**\n\nIt is my belief that based on these two numbers, the fact that they **change** depending on **your IP** \\+ the float being at **248M**, as well as **THE MIND BLOWING INFORMATION** contained within the post I'm about to link to in a second...\n\nThat the Yahoo thing isn't a glitch.\n\nIt's a hole in the fuckery veil they're trying to place upon our eyes.\n\nIt's to hide the fact that the float is shorted at LEAST 3x verifiably.\n\n*(I believe it to be 50x by now)*\n\nAnd also to stop us from deducing the actual share price in what ever dark pool of death the shorts are hiding in using these numbers. They're hiding the company's fucking growth from us.\n\nIn comparison for shits and giggles, I checked movie stock in the VPN and Yahoo's changing that data too.\n\nBut not to hide the shorts or hide growth. Instead to hide a decline.\n\nMovie Stock's Forward P/E is N/A for USA but for other countries it's **-68.71**\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\n[https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/negativeeps.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/negativeeps.asp)\n\n*\"A negative P/E ratio means* ***the company has negative earnings or is losing money***\\*. ... Investors buying stock in a company with a negative P/E should be aware that they are buying shares of an unprofitable company and be mindful of the associated risks.\"\\*\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\nIf I'm right about this whole thing, then this by itself is proof that GME is the MOASS and whoever's doing it, either Yahoo, or Morningstar, whoever doesn't want us to know that movie stock is obviously not the MOASS.\n\nNow........\n\nWhether you agree with me or not, you MUST read this post:\n\nArchived in case it gets deleted\n\n[https://archive.is/KSS6m](https://archive.is/KSS6m)\n\n​\n\nYou know what, just in case you're too lazy to click it, I'll copy and paste the whole thing.

It is known as \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d and it has to do with the fact that the NASD and the SEC had to arbitrarily set a minimum level at which a stock can trade. This level was set at $.0001 or one-one hundredth of a penny.\n\nThis level is appropriately referred to as \u201cthe CELLAR\u201d. This $.0001 level can be used as a \"backstop\" for all kinds of market maker and naked short selling manipulations.\n\n\u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d has been one of the security frauds du jour since 1999 when the market went to a \u201cdecimalization\u201d basis. In the pre-decimalization days the minimum market spread for most stocks was set at 1/8th of a dollar and the market makers were guaranteed a healthy \u201cspread\u201d.\n\nSince decimalization came into effect, those one-eighth of a dollar spreads now are often only a penny as you can see in Microsoft\u2019s quote throughout the day. Where did the unscrupulous MMs go to make up for all of this lost income?\n\nThey headed \"south\" to the OTCBB and Pink Sheets where the protective effects from naked short selling like Rule 10-a, and NASD Rules 3350, 3360, and 3370 are nonexistent.\n\nThe unique aspect of needing an arbitrary \u201cCELLAR\u201d level is that the lowest possible incremental gain above this CELLAR level represents a 100% spread available to MMs making a market in these securities.\n\nWhen compared to the typical spread in Microsoft of perhaps four-tenths of 1%, this is pretty tempting territory. In fact, when the market is no bid to $.0001 offer there is theoretically an infinite spread.\n\nIn order to participate in \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d, the MMs first need to pummel the **price** per share down to these levels. The lower they can force the share price, the larger are the percentage spreads to feed off of.\n\nThis is easily done via garden variety naked short selling. In fact if the MM is large enough and has enough visibility of buy and sell orders as well as order flow, he can simultaneously be acting as the conduit for the sale of nonexistent shares through Canadian co-conspiring broker/dealers and their associates with his right hand at the same time that his left hand is naked short selling into every buy order that appears through its own proprietary accounts.\n\nThe key here is to be a dominant enough of a MM to have visibility of these buy orders. This is referred to as \"broker/dealer internalization\" or naked short selling via \"desking\" which refers to the market makers trading desk.\n\nWhile the right hand is busy flooding the victim company's market with \"counterfeit\" shares that can be sold at any instant in time the left hand is nullifying any upward pressure in share price by neutralizing the demand for the securities. The net effect becomes no demonstrable demand for shares and a huge oversupply of shares which induces a downward spiral in share price.\n\nIn fact, until the \"beefed up\" version of Rule 3370 (Affirmative determination in writing of \"borrowability\" by settlement date) becomes effective, U.S. MMs have been \"legally\" processing naked short sale orders out of Canada and other offshore locations even though they and the clearing firms involved knew by history that these shares were in no way going to be delivered.\n\nThe question that then begs to be asked is how \"the system\" can allow these obviously bogus sell orders to clear and settle.\n\nTo find the answer to this one need look no further than to Addendum \"C\" to the Rules and Regulations of the NSCC subdivision of the DTCC. This gaping loophole allows the DTCC, which is basically the 11,000 b/ds and banks that we refer to as \"Wall Street\u201d, to borrow shares from those investors naive enough to hold these shares in \"street name\" at their brokerage firm.\n\nThis amounts to about 95% of us. Theoretically, this \u201cborrow\u201d was designed to allow trades to clear and settle that involved LEGITIMATE 1 OR 2 DAY delays in delivery.\n\nThis \"borrow\" is done unbeknownst to the investor that purchased the shares in question and amounts to probably the largest \"conflict of interest\" known to mankind. The question becomes would these investors knowingly loan, without compensation, their shares to those whose intent is to bankrupt their investment if they knew that the loan process was the key mechanism needed for the naked short sellers to effect their goal?\n\nAnother question that arises is should the investor's b/d who just earned a commission and therefore owes its client a fiduciary duty of care, be acting as the intermediary in this loan process keeping in mind that this b/d is being paid the cash value of the shares being loaned as a means of collateralizing the loan, all unbeknownst to his client the purchaser.\n\nAn interesting phenomenon occurs at these \"CELLAR\" levels. Since NASD Rule 3370 allows MMs to legally naked short sell into markets characterized by a plethora of buy orders at a time when few sell orders are in existence, a MM can theoretically \"legally\" sit at the $.0001 level and sell nonexistent shares all day long because at no bid and $.0001 ask there is obviously a huge disparity between buy orders and sell orders.\n\nWhat tends to happen is that every time the share price tries to get off of the CELLAR floor and onto the first step of the stairway at $.0001 there is somebody there to step on the hands of the victim corporation's market.\n\nOnce a given micro cap corporation is \u201cboxed in the CELLAR\u201d it doesn\u2019t have a whole lot of options to climb its way out of the CELLAR. One obvious option would be for it to reverse split its way out of the CELLAR but history has shown that these are counter-productive as the market capitalization typically gets hammered and the post split share price level starts heading back to its original pre-split level.\n\nAnother option would be to organize a sustained buying effort and muscle your way out of the CELLAR but typically there will, as if by magic, be a naked short sell order there to meet each and every buy order. Sometimes the shareholder base can muster up enough buying pressure to put the market at $.0001 bid and $.0002 offer for a limited amount of time.\n\nLater the market makers will typically pound the $.0001 bids with a blitzkrieg of selling to wipe out all of the bids and the market goes back to no bid and $.0001 offer. When the weak-kneed shareholders see this a few times they usually make up their mind to sell their shares the next time that a $.0001 bid appears and to get the heck out of Dodge.\n\nThis phenomenon is referred to as \u201cshaking the tree\u201d for weak-kneed investors and it is very effective.\n\nAt times the market will go to $.0001 bid and $.0003 offer. This sets up a juicy 200% spread for the MMs and tends to dissuade any buyers from reaching up to the \"lofty\" level of $.0003. If a $.0002 bid should appear from a MM not \"playing ball\" with the unscrupulous MMs, it will be hit so quickly that Level 2 will never reveal the existence of the bid.\n\nThe $.0001 bid at $.0003 offer market sets up a \"stalemate\" wherein market makers can leisurely enjoy the huge spreads while the victim company slowly dilutes itself to death by paying the monthly bills with \"real\" shares sold at incredibly low levels. Since all of these development-stage corporations have to pay their monthly bills, time becomes on the side of the naked short sellers.\n\nAt times it almost seems that the unscrupulous market makers are not actively trying to kill the victim corporation but instead want to milk the situation for as long of a period of time as possible and let the corporation die a slow death by dilution.\n\nThe reality is that it is extremely easy to strip away 99% of a victim company\u2019s share price or market cap and to keep the victim corporation \u201cboxed\u201c in the CELLAR, but it really is difficult to kill a corporation especially after management and the shareholder base have figured out the game that is being played at their expense.\n\nAs the weeks and months go by the market makers make a fortune with these huge percentage spreads but the net aggregate naked short positions become astronomical from all of this activity. This leads to some apprehension amongst the co-conspiring MMs.\n\nThe predicament they find themselves in is that they can\u2019t even stop naked short selling into every buy order that appears because if they do the share price will gap and this will put tremendous pressures on net capital reserves for the MMs and margin maintenance requirements for the co-conspiring hedge funds and others operating out of the more than 13,000 naked short selling margin accounts set up in Canada.\n\nAnd of course covering the naked short position is out of the question since they can\u2019t even stop the day-to-day naked short selling in the first place and you can't be covering at the same time you continue to naked short sell.\n\nWhat typically happens in these situations is that the victim company has to massively dilute its share structure from the constant paying of the monthly burn rate with money received from the selling of \u201creal\u201d shares at artificially low levels.\n\nThen the goal of the naked short sellers is to point out to the investors, usually via paid \u201cInternet bashers\u201d, that with the, let\u2019s say, 50 billion shares currently issued and outstanding, that this lousy company is not worth the $5 million market cap it is trading at, especially if it is just a shell company whose primary business plan was wiped out by the naked short sellers\u2019 tortuous interference earlier on.\n\nThe truth of the matter is that the single biggest asset of these victim companies often becomes the astronomically large aggregate naked short position that has accumulated throughout the initial \u201cbear raid\u201d and also during the \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d phase.\n\nThe goal of the victim company now becomes to avoid the 3 main goals of the naked short sellers, namely: bankruptcy, a reverse split, or the forced signing of a death spiral convertible debenture out of desperation.\n\nAs long as the victim company can continue to pay the monthly burn rate, then the game plan becomes to make some of the strategic moves that hundreds of victim companies have been forced into doing which includes name changes, CUSIP # changes, cancel/reissue procedures, dividend distributions, amending of by-laws and Articles of Corporation, etc.\n\nNevada domiciled companies usually cancel all of their shares in the system, both real and fake, and force shareholders and their b/ds to PROVE the ownership of the old \u201creal\u201d shares before they get a new \u201creal\u201d share. Many also file their civil suits at this time also.\n\nThis indirect forcing of hundreds of U.S. micro cap corporations to go through all of these extraneous hoops and hurdles as a means to survive, whether it be due to regulatory apathy or lack of resources, is probably one of the biggest black eyes the U.S. financial systems have ever sustained.\n\nIn a perfect world it would be the regulators that periodically audit the \u201cC\u201d and \u201cD\u201d sub-accounts at the DTCC, the proprietary accounts of the MMs, clearing firms, and Canadian b/ds, and force the buy-in of counterfeit shares, many of which are hiding behind altered CUSIP #s, that are detected above the Rule 11830 guidelines for allowable \u201cfailed deliveries\u201d of one half of 1% of the shares issued. U.S. micro cap corporations should not have to periodically \u201cpurge\u201d their share structure of counterfeit electronic book entries but if the regulators will not do it then management has a fiduciary duty to do it.\n\nA lot of management teams become overwhelmed with grief and guilt in regards to the huge increase in the number of shares issued and outstanding that have accumulated during their \u201cwatch\u201d. The truth however is that as long as management made the proper corporate governance moves throughout this ordeal then a huge number of resultant shares issued and outstanding is unavoidable and often indicative of an astronomically high naked short position and is nothing to be ashamed of.\n\nThese massive naked short positions need to be looked upon as huge assets that need to be developed. Hopefully the regulators will come to grips with the reality of naked short selling and tactics like \"CELLAR BOXING\" and quickly address this fraud that has decimated thousands of U.S. micro cap corporations and the tens of millions of U.S. investors therein.\n\n\\---------------------------------------------------\n\nHO....LEEEEEE......FUQ\n\nBruh..\n\nThis was written in 2004.\n\nI really don't have anything more to say.\n\n(Last minute about to finish this post and u/Hopeless_Dreams713  showed me a patent found by  u/Toxsic99\n\n[https://patents.google.com/patent/US7904377B2/en](https://patents.google.com/patent/US7904377B2/en) which I THINK is a fucking patent for ladder attacks but I have no more brain power to spend after reading/writing this.

It's pretty simple.**\n\n**Imagine your friend has a watch priced at $100. And you think tomorrow it's going to be worth $50. You say to your friend \"Hey lemme borrow dat real quick\" and you go and pawn it at a pawn shop for $100.**\n\n**What happened? So far you have a contract to buy back the watch to give back to your friend, but you also have $100.**\n\n**Tomorrow comes, and the price is $50. You go and buy the watch back for $50. You keep the $50 left over. Give the friend back is watch + like 5% interest and everyone's happy.**\n\n**But what if that watch increased in price instead of decreased?**\n\n**You go to buy the watch back, and it's $200?? Uh oh.. You now have a contract to buy the watch, and you'll have to pay $100 out of pocket to buy it back. So you lost money.**\n\n**You wait and figure it'll go back down. To your surprise, the watch price just keeps increasing. $300, $500, $1,000 to $10,000 to $100,000 to $10,000,000**\n\n**You owe your friend that watch at any price. No matter what. But you can keep waiting by simply paying him a fee every day to borrow. It's called a borrow fee, oddly enough.**\n\n**Unfortunately you only have limited assets. So sooner or later you won't have enough money to pay the borrow fee. And then you're forced to go bankrupt and sell all your assets and your house, and your car, and your boat, and your planes to pay for the watch.**\n\n**So that's what's going on with GME. But instead of 1 watch, it's billions and billions of shares. And they're making fake copies of shares that they don't even have.**\n\n**Sooner or later, they must buy back the shares. And at any cost. And they will be forced to sell everything they own to do it.**\n\n**Up until now we've only reverse engineered the idea and processes behind \"HOW\" they're doing it. This post from 2004 detailed every step of the way. And it is very emotional to us because we were right. And they tried gaslighting us for 9 months that we were wrong.**\n\n​\n\nEdit 11:\n\nThis question gets popped up alot. So if you're wondering about how it affects movie stock, look at this comment chain:\n\n[https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/pmj9yk/i\\_found\\_the\\_entire\\_naked\\_shorting\\_game\\_plan/hcjjw5o?utm\\_source=share&utm\\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/pmj9yk/i_found_the_entire_naked_shorting_game_plan/hcjjw5o?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)\n\n​\n\nEdit 12:\n\nSome people are saying Cellar Boxing doesn't apply to GME because it's not at sub penny levels.\n\nBUT YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE FACT THAT GME WAS AT 3 DOLLARS A SHARE.\n\nIn order to CELLAR BOX the stock, they would have to first NAKED SHORT IT TO HELL.\n\nThey short it from 3 dollars hoping for it to go to below a dollar and then get it into that cellar range. BUT THEY FAILED. That's what those people saying it's not relevant to GME are missing.\n\nIt IS relevant to GME. Because CELLAR BOXING was the GAME PLAN. Imagine you have a playbook with strategies on how to play a game. THATS CELLAR BOXING. Naked shorting is a PART OF the CELLAR BOXING PLAYBOOK.\n\nThe funny thing is ppl who are saying to \"stop talking about Cellar boxing\" are also talking about movie stock. So .....\n\n​\n\nEdit 13:\n\nBruh..

you. First is that Yahoo is showing completely different values depending on your IP. Try using a VPN with a different country and you'll see.</p>\n\n<p>Second is that I stumbled upon the <strong><em>ENTIRE FUCKING GAME PLAN</em></strong> of the naked shorting scheme. I guess an insider spilled the beans anonymously on some forum in 2004.</p>\n\n<p>What is going on with GME over the last 9 months is a game plan called "Cellar Boxing".</p>\n\n<p><strong>The link is at the end of this post. If you don't give a FUCK about the Yahoo data, then just skip to the end and read that. Seriously EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THAT POST. It is like the holy grail. I got emotional reading it as it confirmed all of our combined DD about naked shorting, rule exemptions, dividends, zombies, even talks about shills.....EVERYTHING... in one fell swoop.</strong></p>\n\n<p>I wrote all this Yahoo stuff before I found that link and I just had to stop and stare at the wall for a bit.. This was going to be a much longer post, but I decided to just stick to the facts without speculative walls of text so you're not overwhelmed.</p>\n\n<p>Because trust me, reading that post from 2004 is going to blow your fucking mind. It blew mine and everyone I showed it to.</p>\n\n<p>Okay so first point:</p>\n\n<p>Here's the Yahoo data from my IP in the USA</p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://preview.redd.it/0v9ody3ujxm71.png?width=546&format=png&auto=webp&s=99ce6f08beff4e7d7ad75923efb9e0dbc1f29c92\">https://preview.redd.it/0v9ody3ujxm71.png?width=546&format=png&auto=webp&s=99ce6f08beff4e7d7ad75923efb9e0dbc1f29c92</a></p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p>Here's the data from a European VPN</p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://preview.redd.it/z4qg2kkwjxm71.png?width=831&format=png&auto=webp&s=93ca4f7615b0ced4f26f2eae9ce1d20f6c4eb209\">https://preview.redd.it/z4qg2kkwjxm71.png?width=831&format=png&auto=webp&s=93ca4f7615b0ced4f26f2eae9ce1d20f6c4eb209</a></p>\n\n<p>First thing that stands out to me is Enterprise Value.</p>\n\n<p>According to</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/whats-difference-between-enterprise-value-and-market-capitalization.asp\">https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/whats-difference-between-enterprise-value-and-market-capitalization.asp</a></p>\n\n<p>Market capitalization is the sum total of all the outstanding shares of a company. <strong>Enterprise value takes into account</strong> the debt that the company has taken on. Enterprise value, therefore, can identify strengths or weaknesses that market cap cannot.</p>\n\n<p>And <a href=\"https://www.arborinvestmentplanner.com/enterprise-value-ev-calculating-enterprise-value-ratios/\">https://www.arborinvestmentplanner.com/enterprise-value-ev-calculating-enterprise-value-ratios/</a></p>\n\n<p><strong>A company with more debt than cash will have</strong> an enterprise value greater than its market capitalization. Companies with identical market capitalizations can have radically different enterprise values.</p>\n\n<p>-----------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p>I had thought perhaps they're doing some kind of fuckery with convertible preferred shares, or convertible bonds. Which they very well may be, but I can't prove that right this second. So I leave this idea in speculation land.</p>\n\n<p>But let's hand it off to <a href=\"/u/semerien\">u/semerien</a> for the actual reason for this discrepancy:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Total cash per share is 5.64</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Cash at 1.72 billion</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Which means Yahoo thinks there is just over 300 million shares</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Enterprise value is using that share count at current price</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>57 billion for ev using 304 million shares at 190 price, cash at 1.7B and debt at 0.7 billion</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong><em>I may have rounded every single number cuz I'm lazy but what's a few 100 million in rounding errors</em></strong></p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------Okay ok gimme my mic back lmao</p>\n\n<p>So.. No speculation. Mathematical Fact: Yahoo's calculating on 300M~ shares for outside USA when factoring Enterprise Value.</p>\n\n<p>Where does Yahoo get this data?</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance-for-web/SLN2310.html?locale=en_US\">https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance-for-web/SLN2310.html?locale=en_US</a></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Financial statements, valuation ratios, market cap and shares outstanding data provided by Morningstar.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Okay so Yahoo gets this specific data from Morningstar.</p>\n\n<p>Who does Morningstar get it's data from?</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1289419/000110465906031591/a06-11178_28k.htm\">https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1289419/000110465906031591/a06-11178_28k.htm</a></p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p><em>We collect most of our data from original source documents that are publicly available, such as regulatory filings and fund company documents.

I won't speculate. But it can't be a glitch. Just based on the source and how it's updated. Speculate on why or how they're censoring it, not on it being a glitch.</p>\n\n<p>These different values I believe are important because they paint a picture of intent to hide the true data. It's bits of the real data slipping through the cracks.</p>\n\n<p>Let's look at the numbers:</p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p><strong>Enterprise Value in USA = 14.22B</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Forward P/E in USA = 36.67</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>--</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Enterprise Value in other countries = 57.07B</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Forward P/E in other countries = $6,347.00</strong></p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p>EV is calculated on 300 ish million shares. People say "Yahoo's data is always screwy". I don't think that's true. I think it's the opposite. The market is always being FUCKED with. As you'll see in the post I'm going to link to. And Yahoo just has a hard time cleaning it up and censoring it. Because of SO MUCH FUCKERY. And sometimes shit slips through unintentionally.</p>\n\n<p>Forward P/E.. What the fuck is forward P/E some of you might be wondering?</p>\n\n<p><em>(Side note: Yahoo gets this data from a data analytics company called Refinitiv.)</em></p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/forwardpe.asp\"><em>https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/forwardpe.asp</em></a></p>\n\n<p><em>Forward price-to-earnings (forward P/E) is a version of the ratio of</em> <em>price-to-earnings</em> <em>(P/E) that uses forecasted earnings for the P/E calculation.</em></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/050515/what-does-forward-pe-indicate-about-company.asp\"><em>https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/050515/what-does-forward-pe-indicate-about-company.asp</em></a></p>\n\n<p><em>A company with a higher forward P/E ratio than the industry or market average indicates</em> <strong><em>an expectation the company is likely to experience a significant amount of growth</em></strong>*. ... Ultimately, the P/E ratio is a metric that allows investors to determine how valuable a stock is, more so than the market price alone.*</p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p>Here's an example for Tesla:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:TSLA/explorer/pe_ltm\">https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:TSLA/explorer/pe_ltm</a></p>\n\n<p><em>"Tesla's p/e ratio for fiscal years ending December 2016 to 2020 averaged 211.2x. Tesla's operated at median p/e ratio of -37.2x from fiscal years ending December 2016 to 2020. Looking back at the last five years, Tesla's p/e ratio peaked in December 2020 at 1,255.0x."</em></p>\n\n<p>So we all know what happened with Tesla. The P/E ratio seems to be pretty good at calculating the growth. The higher the number, the bigger the growth. A number in the thousands is basically <strong>"Oh shit we got a winner".</strong></p>\n\n<p>Thing is, you get the number by calculating the share price divided by the estimated future earnings per share.</p>\n\n<p><em>"For example, assume that a company has a current share price of $50 and this year\u2019s earnings per share are $5. Analysts estimate that the company's earnings will grow by 10% over the next fiscal year. The company has a current P/E ratio of $50 / 5 = 10x. "</em></p>\n\n<p>Well Gamestop's at 190, let's say for what ever crazy fucking reason we're expecting future earnings per share to be at 5 dollars per share. We're currently expecting around 1 dollar in January but for sake of argument let's pretend it's $5.</p>\n\n<p>$190 / 5 = 38.</p>\n\n<p>Okay interesting so far that makes sense for the USA calculation roughly.</p>\n\n<p>But HOW THE FUCK DO WE GET <strong>$6,347?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It's impossible. Unless.. wait a sec..</p>\n\n<p>$31,735 / 5 = <strong>$6,347</strong></p>\n\n<p>Could it be the true value of GME is actually $31,735 right now?</p>\n\n<p>I mean even if we use the 1 dollar per share earning thing from January, that's still assuming CURRENT VALUE = <strong>$6,347 per share....</strong></p>\n\n<p>It is my belief that based on these two numbers, the fact that they <strong>change</strong> depending on <strong>your IP</strong> + the float being at <strong>248M</strong>, as well as <strong>THE MIND BLOWING INFORMATION</strong> contained within the post I'm about to link to in a second...</p>\n\n<p>That the Yahoo thing isn't a glitch.</p>\n\n<p>It's a hole in the fuckery veil they're trying to place upon our eyes.</p>\n\n<p>It's to hide the fact that the float is shorted at LEAST 3x verifiably.</p>\n\n<p><em>(I believe it to be 50x by now)</em></p>\n\n<p>And also to stop us from deducing the actual share price in what ever dark pool of death the shorts are hiding in using these numbers. They're hiding the company's fucking growth from us.</p>\n\n<p>In comparison for shits and giggles, I checked movie stock in the VPN and Yahoo's changing that data too.</p>\n\n<p>But not to hide the shorts or hide growth. Instead to hide a decline.</p>\n\n<p>Movie Stock's Forward P/E is N/A for USA but for other countries it's <strong>-68.71</strong></p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/negativeeps.asp\">https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/negativeeps.asp</a></p>\n\n<p><em>"A negative P/E ratio means</em> <strong><em>the company has negative earnings or is losing money</em></strong>*. ...

It is known as \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d and it has to do with the fact that the NASD and the SEC had to arbitrarily set a minimum level at which a stock can trade. This level was set at $.0001 or one-one hundredth of a penny.</p>\n\n<p>This level is appropriately referred to as \u201cthe CELLAR\u201d. This $.0001 level can be used as a "backstop" for all kinds of market maker and naked short selling manipulations.</p>\n\n<p>\u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d has been one of the security frauds du jour since 1999 when the market went to a \u201cdecimalization\u201d basis. In the pre-decimalization days the minimum market spread for most stocks was set at 1/8th of a dollar and the market makers were guaranteed a healthy \u201cspread\u201d.</p>\n\n<p>Since decimalization came into effect, those one-eighth of a dollar spreads now are often only a penny as you can see in Microsoft\u2019s quote throughout the day. Where did the unscrupulous MMs go to make up for all of this lost income?</p>\n\n<p>They headed "south" to the OTCBB and Pink Sheets where the protective effects from naked short selling like Rule 10-a, and NASD Rules 3350, 3360, and 3370 are nonexistent.</p>\n\n<p>The unique aspect of needing an arbitrary \u201cCELLAR\u201d level is that the lowest possible incremental gain above this CELLAR level represents a 100% spread available to MMs making a market in these securities.</p>\n\n<p>When compared to the typical spread in Microsoft of perhaps four-tenths of 1%, this is pretty tempting territory. In fact, when the market is no bid to $.0001 offer there is theoretically an infinite spread.</p>\n\n<p>In order to participate in \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d, the MMs first need to pummel the <strong>price</strong> per share down to these levels. The lower they can force the share price, the larger are the percentage spreads to feed off of.</p>\n\n<p>This is easily done via garden variety naked short selling. In fact if the MM is large enough and has enough visibility of buy and sell orders as well as order flow, he can simultaneously be acting as the conduit for the sale of nonexistent shares through Canadian co-conspiring broker/dealers and their associates with his right hand at the same time that his left hand is naked short selling into every buy order that appears through its own proprietary accounts.</p>\n\n<p>The key here is to be a dominant enough of a MM to have visibility of these buy orders. This is referred to as "broker/dealer internalization" or naked short selling via "desking" which refers to the market makers trading desk.</p>\n\n<p>While the right hand is busy flooding the victim company's market with "counterfeit" shares that can be sold at any instant in time the left hand is nullifying any upward pressure in share price by neutralizing the demand for the securities. The net effect becomes no demonstrable demand for shares and a huge oversupply of shares which induces a downward spiral in share price.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, until the "beefed up" version of Rule 3370 (Affirmative determination in writing of "borrowability" by settlement date) becomes effective, U.S. MMs have been "legally" processing naked short sale orders out of Canada and other offshore locations even though they and the clearing firms involved knew by history that these shares were in no way going to be delivered.</p>\n\n<p>The question that then begs to be asked is how "the system" can allow these obviously bogus sell orders to clear and settle.</p>\n\n<p>To find the answer to this one need look no further than to Addendum "C" to the Rules and Regulations of the NSCC subdivision of the DTCC. This gaping loophole allows the DTCC, which is basically the 11,000 b/ds and banks that we refer to as "Wall Street\u201d, to borrow shares from those investors naive enough to hold these shares in "street name" at their brokerage firm.</p>\n\n<p>This amounts to about 95% of us. Theoretically, this \u201cborrow\u201d was designed to allow trades to clear and settle that involved LEGITIMATE 1 OR 2 DAY delays in delivery.</p>\n\n<p>This "borrow" is done unbeknownst to the investor that purchased the shares in question and amounts to probably the largest "conflict of interest" known to mankind. The question becomes would these investors knowingly loan, without compensation, their shares to those whose intent is to bankrupt their investment if they knew that the loan process was the key mechanism needed for the naked short sellers to effect their goal?</p>\n\n<p>Another question that arises is should the investor's b/d who just earned a commission and therefore owes its client a fiduciary duty of care, be acting as the intermediary in this loan process keeping in mind that this b/d is being paid the cash value of the shares being loaned as a means of collateralizing the loan, all unbeknownst to his client the purchaser.</p>\n\n<p>An interesting phenomenon occurs at these "CELLAR" levels. Since NASD Rule 3370 allows MMs to legally naked short sell into markets characterized by a plethora of buy orders at a time when few sell orders are in existence, a MM can theoretically "legally" sit at the $.0001 level and sell nonexistent shares all day long because at no bid and $.0001 ask there is obviously a huge disparity between buy orders and sell orders.</p>\n\n<p>What tends to happen is that every time the share price tries to get off of the CELLAR floor and onto the first step of the stairway at $.0001 there is somebody there to step on the hands of the victim corporation's market.</p>\n\n<p>Once a given micro cap corporation is \u201cboxed in the CELLAR\u201d it doesn\u2019t have a whole lot of options to climb its way out of the CELLAR. One obvious option would be for it to reverse split its way out of the CELLAR but history has shown that these are counter-productive as the market capitalization typically gets hammered and the post split share price level starts heading back to its original pre-split level.</p>\n\n<p>Another option would be to organize a sustained buying effort and muscle your way out of the CELLAR but typically there will, as if by magic, be a naked short sell order there to meet each and every buy order. Sometimes the shareholder base can muster up enough buying pressure to put the market at $.0001 bid and $.0002 offer for a limited amount of time.</p>\n\n<p>Later the market makers will typically pound the $.0001 bids with a blitzkrieg of selling to wipe out all of the bids and the market goes back to no bid and $.0001 offer. When the weak-kneed shareholders see this a few times they usually make up their mind to sell their shares the next time that a $.0001 bid appears and to get the heck out of Dodge.</p>\n\n<p>This phenomenon is referred to as \u201cshaking the tree\u201d for weak-kneed investors and it is very effective.</p>\n\n<p>At times the market will go to $.0001 bid and $.0003 offer. This sets up a juicy 200% spread for the MMs and tends to dissuade any buyers from reaching up to the "lofty" level of $.0003. If a $.0002 bid should appear from a MM not "playing ball" with the unscrupulous MMs, it will be hit so quickly that Level 2 will never reveal the existence of the bid.</p>\n\n<p>The $.0001 bid at $.0003 offer market sets up a "stalemate" wherein market makers can leisurely enjoy the huge spreads while the victim company slowly dilutes itself to death by paying the monthly bills with "real" shares sold at incredibly low levels. Since all of these development-stage corporations have to pay their monthly bills, time becomes on the side of the naked short sellers.</p>\n\n<p>At times it almost seems that the unscrupulous market makers are not actively trying to kill the victim corporation but instead want to milk the situation for as long of a period of time as possible and let the corporation die a slow death by dilution.</p>\n\n<p>The reality is that it is extremely easy to strip away 99% of a victim company\u2019s share price or market cap and to keep the victim corporation \u201cboxed\u201c in the CELLAR, but it really is difficult to kill a corporation especially after management and the shareholder base have figured out the game that is being played at their expense.</p>\n\n<p>As the weeks and months go by the market makers make a fortune with these huge percentage spreads but the net aggregate naked short positions become astronomical from all of this activity. This leads to some apprehension amongst the co-conspiring MMs.</p>\n\n<p>The predicament they find themselves in is that they can\u2019t even stop naked short selling into every buy order that appears because if they do the share price will gap and this will put tremendous pressures on net capital reserves for the MMs and margin maintenance requirements for the co-conspiring hedge funds and others operating out of the more than 13,000 naked short selling margin accounts set up in Canada.</p>\n\n<p>And of course covering the naked short position is out of the question since they can\u2019t even stop the day-to-day naked short selling in the first place and you can't be covering at the same time you continue to naked short sell.</p>\n\n<p>What typically happens in these situations is that the victim company has to massively dilute its share structure from the constant paying of the monthly burn rate with money received from the selling of \u201creal\u201d shares at artificially low levels.</p>\n\n<p>Then the goal of the naked short sellers is to point out to the investors, usually via paid \u201cInternet bashers\u201d, that with the, let\u2019s say, 50 billion shares currently issued and outstanding, that this lousy company is not worth the $5 million market cap it is trading at, especially if it is just a shell company whose primary business plan was wiped out by the naked short sellers\u2019 tortuous interference earlier on.</p>\n\n<p>The truth of the matter is that the single biggest asset of these victim companies often becomes the astronomically large aggregate naked short position that has accumulated throughout the initial \u201cbear raid\u201d and also during the \u201cCELLAR BOXING\u201d phase.</p>\n\n<p>The goal of the victim company now becomes to avoid the 3 main goals of the naked short sellers, namely: bankruptcy, a reverse split, or the forced signing of a death spiral convertible debenture out of desperation.</p>\n\n<p>As long as the victim company can continue to pay the monthly burn rate, then the game plan becomes to make some of the strategic moves that hundreds of victim companies have been forced into doing which includes name changes, CUSIP # changes, cancel/reissue procedures, dividend distributions, amending of by-laws and Articles of Corporation, etc.</p>\n\n<p>Nevada domiciled companies usually cancel all of their shares in the system, both real and fake, and force shareholders and their b/ds to PROVE the ownership of the old \u201creal\u201d shares before they get a new \u201creal\u201d share. Many also file their civil suits at this time also.</p>\n\n<p>This indirect forcing of hundreds of U.S. micro cap corporations to go through all of these extraneous hoops and hurdles as a means to survive, whether it be due to regulatory apathy or lack of resources, is probably one of the biggest black eyes the U.S. financial systems have ever sustained.</p>\n\n<p>In a perfect world it would be the regulators that periodically audit the \u201cC\u201d and \u201cD\u201d sub-accounts at the DTCC, the proprietary accounts of the MMs, clearing firms, and Canadian b/ds, and force the buy-in of counterfeit shares, many of which are hiding behind altered CUSIP #s, that are detected above the Rule 11830 guidelines for allowable \u201cfailed deliveries\u201d of one half of 1% of the shares issued. U.S. micro cap corporations should not have to periodically \u201cpurge\u201d their share structure of counterfeit electronic book entries but if the regulators will not do it then management has a fiduciary duty to do it.</p>\n\n<p>A lot of management teams become overwhelmed with grief and guilt in regards to the huge increase in the number of shares issued and outstanding that have accumulated during their \u201cwatch\u201d. The truth however is that as long as management made the proper corporate governance moves throughout this ordeal then a huge number of resultant shares issued and outstanding is unavoidable and often indicative of an astronomically high naked short position and is nothing to be ashamed of.</p>\n\n<p>These massive naked short positions need to be looked upon as huge assets that need to be developed. Hopefully the regulators will come to grips with the reality of naked short selling and tactics like "CELLAR BOXING" and quickly address this fraud that has decimated thousands of U.S. micro cap corporations and the tens of millions of U.S. investors therein.</p>\n\n<p>---------------------------------------------------</p>\n\n<p>HO....LEEEEEE......FUQ</p>\n\n<p>Bruh..</p>\n\n<p>This was written in 2004.</p>\n\n<p>I really don't have anything more to say.</p>\n\n<p>(Last minute about to finish this post and <a href=\"/u/Hopeless_Dreams713\">u/Hopeless_Dreams713</a>  showed me a patent found by  <a href=\"/u/Toxsic99\">u/Toxsic99</a></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://patents.google.com/patent/US7904377B2/en\">https://patents.google.com/patent/US7904377B2/en</a> which I THINK is a fucking patent for ladder attacks but I have no more brain power to spend after reading/writing this.

It's pretty simple.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Imagine your friend has a watch priced at $100. And you think tomorrow it's going to be worth $50. You say to your friend "Hey lemme borrow dat real quick" and you go and pawn it at a pawn shop for $100.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>What happened? So far you have a contract to buy back the watch to give back to your friend, but you also have $100.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Tomorrow comes, and the price is $50. You go and buy the watch back for $50. You keep the $50 left over. Give the friend back is watch + like 5% interest and everyone's happy.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>But what if that watch increased in price instead of decreased?</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>You go to buy the watch back, and it's $200?? Uh oh.. You now have a contract to buy the watch, and you'll have to pay $100 out of pocket to buy it back. So you lost money.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>You wait and figure it'll go back down. To your surprise, the watch price just keeps increasing. $300, $500, $1,000 to $10,000 to $100,000 to $10,000,000</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>You owe your friend that watch at any price. No matter what. But you can keep waiting by simply paying him a fee every day to borrow. It's called a borrow fee, oddly enough.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Unfortunately you only have limited assets. So sooner or later you won't have enough money to pay the borrow fee. And then you're forced to go bankrupt and sell all your assets and your house, and your car, and your boat, and your planes to pay for the watch.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>So that's what's going on with GME. But instead of 1 watch, it's billions and billions of shares. And they're making fake copies of shares that they don't even have.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Sooner or later, they must buy back the shares. And at any cost. And they will be forced to sell everything they own to do it.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Up until now we've only reverse engineered the idea and processes behind "HOW" they're doing it. This post from 2004 detailed every step of the way. And it is very emotional to us because we were right. And they tried gaslighting us for 9 months that we were wrong.</strong></p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p>Edit 11:</p>\n\n<p>This question gets popped up alot. So if you're wondering about how it affects movie stock, look at this comment chain:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/pmj9yk/i_found_the_entire_naked_shorting_game_plan/hcjjw5o?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3\">https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/pmj9yk/i_found_the_entire_naked_shorting_game_plan/hcjjw5o?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</a></p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p>Edit 12:</p>\n\n<p>Some people are saying Cellar Boxing doesn't apply to GME because it's not at sub penny levels.</p>\n\n<p>BUT YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE FACT THAT GME WAS AT 3 DOLLARS A SHARE.</p>\n\n<p>In order to CELLAR BOX the stock, they would have to first NAKED SHORT IT TO HELL.</p>\n\n<p>They short it from 3 dollars hoping for it to go to below a dollar and then get it into that cellar range. BUT THEY FAILED. That's what those people saying it's not relevant to GME are missing.</p>\n\n<p>It IS relevant to GME. Because CELLAR BOXING was the GAME PLAN. Imagine you have a playbook with strategies on how to play a game. THATS CELLAR BOXING. Naked shorting is a PART OF the CELLAR BOXING PLAYBOOK.</p>\n\n<p>The funny thing is ppl who are saying to "stop talking about Cellar boxing" are also talking about movie stock. So .....</p>\n\n<p>​</p>\n\n<p>Edit 13:</p>\n\n<p>Bruh..

That's up from 162 in 2018, 140 in 2017, 9 in 2016, and 5 in 2015. I usually go 3 or 4 times per week, mostly on weekends. I keep track of dates/theaters/movies/ratings for fun and save all of the stubs.\n\nMy ratings are what I give the movie right after seeing it, with no real 'checklist' or anything, mostly just initial thought/enjoyment/opinion. It's not meant to be taken super seriously, I'm not a professional reviewer.\n\nThis is my full ranking for the year, from favorite to least-favorite, with a few small reviews/thoughts thrown in:\n\n--------------------------------------------------------\n\n**Monos - 10/10** - *Hands-down my favorite movie of the year and honestly high on my all-time list. It's Apocalypse Now meets Lord of the Flies, with some Beasts of No Nation thrown in. It builds a unique, lived-in world that's believable and brutal. Beautifully-filmed, some of the best shots of the year (the ending shot gets seared in your mind). Modern and grounded look at a militia/cartel fighting against an unnamed enemy in a Colombian jungle. It almost feels post-apocalyptic instead of 'cartel vs government', which I really loved. You get to imagine your own backstory as the story unfolds. Unforgiving and gut-wrenching, but hopeful too. Got a lot out of its cast. Can't recommend this movie enough. Really disappointed this didn't make the Best Foreign Language Film shortlist. \"Masterpiece\" gets thrown around a lot, but in my mind this is the only one this year.*\n\n**Marriage Story - 10/10**\n\n**The Farewell - 10/10**\n\n**Journey to a Mother's Room - 9/10** - *Biggest surprise of the year, came out of nowhere. Deeply-personal story between a mother & daughter. It's very basic on the surface, and there's not much story (you start at Point A, and end at Point A), but it's the most emotional movie of the year. If you don't cry at least 3 times during this, you're probably not human. It's all about the unbreakable connection you have to your parent(s), from the day you're born until the day you die. It only takes place over the course of a few months, but feels like lifetimes. Beautiful little movie about separation, loss, and human connection.*\n\n**Waves - 9/10** - *I could write 20 pages on how much I loved this movie. To keep it short, it's got a perfect soundtrack, perfect setting, awards-worthy performances (from Kelvin Harrison Jr., Sterling K. Brown, and Taylor Russell). Visceral story that grips you from the first minute and doesn't let go until the closing shot. Unique use of colors and aspect-ratio. It takes a huge risk structurally that pays off. It's also the only movie I went to see twice this year. Really worth it too, picked up on a lot of stuff on the second viewing. Would've went a third time if theaters kept it playing longer. Every tiny decision/action has a huge impact. Just watch this.*\n\n**Last Black Man In San Francisco - 9/10**\n\n**Birds of Passage - 9/10**\n\n**Apollo 11 - 9/10** - *The best documentary of the year. Probably the best editing (and use of sound) I've ever seen/heard in a documentary. It's unique because they don't use interviews like most documentaries do, it's real sound the whole through. Impressive use of archival footage/audio.*\n\n**Uncut Gems - 9/10** - *This movie wasn't on the Best Original Score shortlist for the 2020 Oscars. This aggression will not stand.*\n\n**The Mustang - 9/10**\n\n**Wild Rose - 9/10** - *If this doesn't win the Oscar for Best Original Song ('Glasgow'), I've lost all faith in the Academy. The ending concert scene had me crying like a baby. Jessie Buckley is gonna be big. Best music-drama since A Star Is Born.*\n\n**Transit  - 9/10**\n\n**Ad Astra - 9/10** - *Top-notch acting, great atmosphere, world-building, existentialism, beautiful VFX, engaging score. Best opening scene of the year. Thoughtful commentary on modern society all wrapped in a Heart of Darkness blanket. If you're into space/exploration movies, then I recommend this. Surprised at the backlash this movie has gotten on /r/movies.*\n\n**The Report  - 9/10** - *This was a really good year for legal-thrillers and The Report was the cream of the crop. Tight, Sorkin-like script with top performances from Adam Driver & Annette Bening. Could change a lot of minds about the war on terror and use of torture.*\n\n**Parasite - 9/10**\n\n**Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - 9/10**\n\n**Midnight Traveler - 9/10** - *If you feel like life is unfair and the odds are stacked against you, watch this movie. It puts everything in a different perspective. Every problem you have is going to seem minuscule compared to what this family went through. It's eye-opening and should fill you with anger.*\n\n**Luce - 9/10** - *It's Kelvin Harrison Jr's world and we're just living in it.*\n\n**The Irishman - 8/10**\n\n**Mickey and the Bear - 8/10** - *Camila Morrone puts in the best breakout performance of the year. PTSD, drug-addiction, alcoholism, rural Montana, toxic relationships, James Badge Dale, following your dreams. What's not to love?*\n\n**The Art of Self Defense - 8/10** - *The best dark-comedy of the year. So many great one liners. It's like Yorgos Lanthimos directing Death of Stalin, set in a karate studio. Surprisingly violent and depressing, but in all the right ways. Jesse Eisenberg's best movie since.....The Social Network?*\n\n**Peanut Butter Falcon - 8/10** - *\"Am I going to die?\" \"We all do, it's only a \nmatter of time, now stop being a little bitch.\" - Favorite line of the year, really stuck with me.*\n\n**Everybody Knows - 8/10**\n\n**Mary Magdalene - 8/10**\n\n**Knives Out - 8/10** - *Well-crafted whoddunit with an ensemble cast. Just a genuinely fun time at the movies. Ana de Armas with well-deserved leading role for once. A few of the characters are a tad bit unrealistic (and basically caricatures), but the movie doesn't take itself seriously enough for that to be a problem. Daniel Craig hamming it up with a Southern accent was fun. Old school film with a modern twist.*\n\n**The Lighthouse - 8/10** \n\n**The Dead Don't Die - 8/10** - *This movie really isn't for everyone, but I loved the dry humor and purposefully-bad chemistry/dialogue. The line delivery was off-putting but hilarious. Everything is extremely on-the-nose and it works. I could watch 10 hours of Tom Waits talking to himself.*\n\n**Us - 8/10**\n\n**Villains - 8/10**\n\n**Ford v Ferrari  - 8/10** \n\n**Midsommar - 8/10**\n\n**Jojo Rabbit  - 8/10** \n\n**Official Secrets - 8/10** - *Keira Knightley with one of the most underrated performances of the year. Another really good legal/political-thriller that exposes the dark side of government bureaucracy.*\n\n**Pain & Glory - 8/10** \n\n**John Wick 3: Parabellum - 8/10**\n\n**Queen & Slim - 8/10**\n\n**Amazing Grace - 8/10** - *Great concert-documentary. Some of Aretha Franklin's performances in this should give you insane chills. I actually had this one rated higher right after watching it, but then looked up some of the people shown on screen and it turns out some were real pieces of shit, while preaching to people like hypocrits. Felt gross and took a lot of the magic out. One of my few revised scores this year.*\n\n**A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood - 8/10**\n\n**Joker - 8/10**\n\n**Non-Fiction - 8/10** - *It's very French (talky and sexual) and the writing seems impressed with itself,  but it's a good adult-drama that surprised me. I'm a big fan of Olivier Assayas and this is some of his best work.*\n\n**Rocketman - 8/10**\n\n**Stan & Ollie - 8/10**\n\n**Hustlers - 8/10**\n\n**Avengers Endgame - 8/10**\n\n**Doctor Sleep - 8/10** - *It gets bloated and probably needed to be 20-30 minutes shorter (there's a shit ton of side-characters), but it was a worthwhile sequel to The Shining. Didn't feel like a cash grab and carries its own weight.*\n\n**Booksmart - 8/10** \n\n**Little Monsters  - 8/10** - *I'd recommend watching this based just on Josh Gad's character. So over-the-top and hilarious. When he starts chugging hand sanitizer might be the most I laughed in a theater this year. Also Lupita Nyong'o playing & singing on the ukulele to a bunch of kids is exactly what I needed in my life. Cute zombie-comedy with a ton of heart.*\n\n**Spider-Man: Far From Home - 8/10**\n\n**A Hidden Life - 8/10** - *If there's a song from this year (or this decade even) that I'd want played at my funeral, it's James Newton Howard's theme from this movie. It's so beautiful and perfectly captures the feel of the movie. That song broke me down every time it played. I can't imagine this movie without it, it's that good. It's a shame this movie is getting ignored this awards season.*\n\n**Never Look Away - 8/10**\n\n**Toy Story 4 - 8/10**\n\n**Pavarotti - 8/10**\n\n**The Biggest Little Farm - 8/10**-  *If you're really into the inner-workings of a Californian farm, then this is the documentary for you.*\n\n**Abominable - 8/10**  \n\n**The Current War - 7/10** \n\n**Artic  - 7/10** - *Well made, solidly-acted. I loved the small details about survival that this movie brings up, makes it very grounded and realistic. I'm kinda bored of survival movies in general so this didn't blow my mind or anything.*\n\n**Bombshell - 7/10**\n\n**Honey Boy - 7/10** - *Pretty big letdown because I had really high expectations for this one. Lacked the emotional punch I hoped for. Didn't land for me at all, kind of like Boy Erased last year. I appreciate how honest and revealing it was, took a lot of guts for Shia LaBeouf to put this out there but it's forgettable. Lucas Hedges' Shia impression was reallllly on point though, that was worth the price of admission right there. Mid90s last year was a 10/10 for me and I expected the same for this. It was good, not great.*\n\n**American Woman - 7/10** - *Sienna Miller's performance in this is awards-worthy. The accent she does is perfect and it might be the most underrated role of the year. The movie gets way too tearjerky at the end though. It's basically 2 hours of bad shit happening to a good person, which gets a bit overwhelming.*\n\n**The Beach Bum - 7/10**\n\n**Captain Marvel - 7/10**\n\n**Spies In Disguise - 7/10** - *Looked pretty generic based on the trailer, but was actually pretty funny.*\n\n**Cold Pursuit - 7/10**\n\n**Tolkien - 7/10** - *Not much happens but it felt really comfortable. Solid performances all around and they handled the WW1 scenes better than I thought they would. Expected to be bored out of my mind based on the reviews and trailer but it flowed well. As far as \"Nicholas Hoult Biopics of Famous Writers\" go, it's miles ahead of Rebel in the Rye 2 years ago.*\n\n**Jumanji: The Next Level - 7/10**\n\n**Sauvage/Wild - 7/10**\n\n**Detective Pikachu - 7/10**\n\n**Maiden - 7/10**\n\n**Dark Waters - 7/10** - . *Good performances and an okay script, even though it beats you over the head sometimes. Total waste of Anne Hathaway. She's way too good of an actress for a boring, generic, 'supporting wife' role with just a few lines. Not even sure why she was in this. Overall, a solid legal-thriller, which is a genre I really enjoy and I've been missing since its late-90s heyday. Pretty crazy story too, scummy and evil corporate greed is always interesting to explore on film (like The Insider). Should've been 20 minutes shorter and less on-the-nose*\n\n**Adopt A Highway - 7/10**\n\n**The Wedding Guest - 7/10**\n\n**The Hummingbird Project - 7/10**\n\n**Motherless Brooklyn - 7/10**\n\n**The Lion King - 7/10**\n\n**Last Christmas - 7/10** - *It's really easy to bash this movie, a lot of the humor falls flat and the twist is ridiculous, but I couldn't help walking out with a smile. I love how committed Emilia Clarke was to the character, and her interactions with her boss and family were legitimately heart-warming at times. Also did I mention how ridiculous that twist is?*\n\n**Richard Jewell  - 7/10** - *This was decent. Even though it's clearly Clint Eastwood's personal crusade (and thinly-veiled propaganda piece in some regards) against the FBI & the Spooky Media\u2122, it still told the story effectively/semi-believably. Some of the characters (Hamm/Wilde obviously) were pretty ridiculous caricatures though, was hard to take anything they said seriously, I mean come on. You just roll your eyes at most of what they say. Some of the situations and encounters are too-conveniently set-up but that's easy to overlook. It had very solid performances (Hauser was great, especially when he finally let's his emotion show, in that scene where he kicks the table). Much better than The Mule, and 20x better than 15:17 To Paris.*\n\n**Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker - 7/10**\n\n**21 Bridges - 7/10**\n\n**Before You Know It - 7/10**\n\n**Hobbs & Shaw - 7/10** - *This is peak \"Stupid Summer Popcorn Movie\" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's The Meg of 2019*.\n\n**Fighting With My Family - 7/10**\n\n**Pet Sematary  - 7/10**\n\n**Downton Abbey - 7/10** - *Never saw a single episode of the show before watching the movie, but it still felt familiar/safe to jump right in.*\n\n**Yesterday - 7/10**\n\n**Greta  - 7/10** - *It's a cheesy, predictable, non-scary horror film but I liked it. Sometimes you just need Isabelle Hupert to play a psychopathic serial killer. Felt very old-school, a movie straight out of the 1980s.*\n\n**Judy - 7/10** - *It's the definition of Oscar bait and is emotionally manipulative, especially towards the end, but it does a great job at humanizing a Hollywood legend.*\n\n**Frozen 2  - 7/10**\n\n**Aladdin - 7/10**\n\n**The Souvenir - 7/10**\n\n**Zombieland 2: Double Tap - 7/10** - *Nowhere near as memorable/iconic as the first one, but it still got a bunch of laughs from me (especially the Thomas Middleditch/Luke Wilson scene). Above-average for a comedy-sequel, but I could see this one not aging well*.\n\n**The Two Popes - 6/10** - *Two solid performances but underwhelming overall, too many cheap-looking flashback scenes, not enough Pryce/Hopkins. Reminded me of Can You Ever Forgive Me? last year, depending on the 2 leads to carry a weak movie/premise on their back, to disappointing results. Highly-overrated movie.*\n\n**Ready Or Not - 6/10**\n\n**Anna - 6/10** - *It's basically Red Sparrow but slightly worse*.\n\n**Saint Frances  - 6/10**\n\n**Hotel Mumbai - 6/10** \n\n**Shazam! - 6/10** - *Low-stakes, formulaic, superhero movie clearly made with strict budget limitations. It hits all the notes you'd expect a movie like this to hit. It was decent.*\n\n**Alita: Battle Angel - 6/10**\n\n**Loro - 6/10** - *One of the more disappointing movies of the year. On paper it sounds amazing, a sprawling biopic of an infamous/corrupt Italian politician/mogul by Paolo Sorrentino who's not that far removed from a masterpiece? Sign me the fuck up. But nah, this was a shallow, surface-level (like my reviews), pointless dull knife of a biopic. Too much shoehorned religious imagery too. Tone is all over the place. It can't decide whether it's serious or funny and gets lost in-between. It looked nice at least. It also wins this year's \"Most Nudity\" award, easily beating the rest of the field.*\n\n**Teen Spirit - 6/10**\n\n**The Upside - 6/10**\n\n**Gloria Bell - 6/10** - *Great performance from Julianne Moore but this just felt like \"Middle-Aged Crisis: The Movie\". Just couldn't connect to it. I imagine the original is a lot better.*\n\n**On The Basis Of Sex - 6/10**\n\n**Stockholm - 6/10**\n\n**Give Me Liberty  - 6/10**  - *This is an example of a movie that has its heart in the right place but bites off a lot more than it can chew. There's a beautiful, emotional story in here somewhere, but it's too muddled with ineffective editing tricks and too many side-stories. It's sweet in some ways and the true-life characters bring a lot of charm, but it didn't do that much for me. A lot of 'year-end' lists have this as one of the most overlooked movies of the year, but I don't see it. Rough editing, bad soundtrack.*\n\n**Child's Play - 6/10**\n\n**Good Boys - 6/10** - *Just watch Booksmart instead*.\n\n**Styx - 6/10**\n\n**Woman at War - 6/10**\n\n**The Lego Movie 2 -  6/10**\n\n**Missing Link - 6/10**\n\n**Long Shot - 6/10** - *The chemistry between Charlize Theron & Seth Rogen was great but the jokes couldn't really match it. It's a unique mix of politics & humor, but fell short of being an actual crowd-pleaser.*\n\n**Echo in the Canyon - 6/10**\n\n**Cyrano, My Love - 6/10**\n\n**Dora the Explorer - 6/10**\n\n**Brittany Runs A Marathon - 6/10**\n\n**IT: Chapter 2 - 6/10** - *Way too long. Felt like a never-ending series of fetch-quests. Good CGI & acting though.*\n\n**Mister America - 6/10**\n\n**Crawl - 6/10**\n\n**Trial By Fire - 6/10** - *Great performances by Laura Dern & Jack O'Connell get overshadowed by an overly-preacy script. It doesn't let the audience make up its own mind.*\n\n**The Third Wife - 6/10**\n\n**Godzilla: King of Monsters - 5/10** - *This needed less humans, more monsters.*\n\n**Glass - 5/10**\n\n**Escape Room - 5/10**\n\n**Terminator: Dark Fate - 5/10**\n\n**Dumbo - 5/10** \n\n**All Is True - 5/10**\n\n**Brightburn  - 5/10**\n\n**The White Crow - 5/10** - *One of those biopics where the movie doesn't do justice to the story. Reading the Wikipedia page on this guy's life, you'd except an Oscar contender. Instead it was just okay. Watch Cold War instead. It's basically this movie but better.*\n\n**High Life - 5/10** - *Unpleasant.*\n\n**Where'd You Go Bernadette? - 5/10**\n\n**Scary Stories to Tell Dark - 5/10**\n\n**Her Smell - 5/10** - *This movie made me physically nauseous. The tight, claustrophobic, haze-filled shots in the first 2 acts really threw me off. It's temporarily redeemed by a reallllllly good third act and a solid performance from Elisabeth Moss. But then deflated by a terrible final scene.*\n\n**By the Grace of God - 5/10** - *Based on the critical acclaim, director, and subject matter, I walked in expected to be blown away. Basically expected Spotlight, but this movie completely derails at the halfway point. Hard to sit through*.\n\n**Blinded by the Light - 5/10**\n\n**The Best of Enemies - 5/10**\n\n**The Aeronauts - 5/10** - *This is mis-marketed as an intense survival story but it's really just a boring biopic with too many flashbacks.*\n\n**Fall of the American Empire - 5/10**\n\n**Family - 5/10**\n\n**The Goldfinch - 5/10** - *It turns out an unfilmable novel really is unfilmbable, who would've thought? Shoutout to Jeffrey Wright & Finn Wolfhard for actually trying.*\n\n**Angel Has Fallen - 5/10**\n\n**Gemini Man - 5/10** \n\n**Late Night  - 5/10**\n\n**Black and Blue  - 5/10** \n\n**Diane - 5/10** - *This was just depression-porn. Sometimes it works (Mungiu/Zvyagintsev), sometimes it doesn't (this movie). It's such a bummer. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone but Mary Kay Place's performance makes it watchable and engaging sometimes.*\n\n**Destroyer - 5/10**\n\n**How To Train Your Dragon 3 - 5/10**\n\n**Rafiki - 5/10** - *I feel bad for this score because I get that this is a really important/significant movie for African Cinema, but I just couldn't get past the terrible acting, bad (like baaaaaad) dialogue, and lackluster story. Again, pretty big achievement that this got made and reached a global audience, but yeah, in a vacuum, it's undoubtedly a bad movie. Felt like an amateur movie on a shoestring budget.*\n\n**Captive State - 4/10**\n\n**Wild Nights With Emily - 4/10** - *This movie is what happens when someone asks the question \"hey, what if we turned Emily Dickinson's life into an SNL skit?\". I get what they were going for, and Molly Shannon is great, but this was extremely unfunny and probably the longest 84-minute movie I've ever seen.*\n\n**Dark Pheonix - 4/10**\n\n**The Addams Family - 4/10**\n\n**Midway  - 4/10**\n\n**To Dust - 4/10**\n\n**Rojo - 4/10** - *The only memorable thing about this movie is that there was a power outage about 90 minutes in so they comped my ticket and gave me a free drink. So that was cool, I guess.*\n\n**The Kid Who Would Be King - 4/10**\n\n**MIB: International - 4/10**\n\n**The Kid - 4/10** - *There's a 98% chance that this movie is some kind of tax write-off or money laundering scheme. It somehow got 2 big names (Pratt & Hawke), co-starring the son of the producer in his first movie ever. Directed by Vincent D'Onofrio for some reason (???). Was dumped by Lionsgate in a few hundred theaters with 0 marketing/promotion, and flopped hard. It's dated, boring, and unoriginal. Cheesy dialogue. Literally a story that's been told a million times before, usually in much better ways. No reason for this to exist. Chris Pratt has the worst fake-movie-beard of all time in this, that's kinda worth checking out.*\n\n**Ramen Shop - 4/10**\n\n**The Good Liar - 4/10**- *The most convoluted, needlessly-complicated plot of the year. Helen Mirren & Ian McKellen both phone it in (I don't blame them, they were given trash to work with). I hate when movies try to crowbar \"WW2 flashbacks\" into their movies when it's not needed.*\n\n**Climax - 4/10**\n\n**Harriet - 4/10** \n\n**Lucy in the Sky - 4/10** - *Once or twice a year, a movie comes along that has such a frustrating/stupid/anti-climactic ending it makes me actually angry. This is that movie. Natalie Portman had another movie like that last year (Vox Lux). Hey Noah Hawley, what the fuck?*\n\n**Freaks - 4/10** - *This movie would fit well in the \"Good Idea But Bad Execution\" subreddit.*\n\n**Tel Aviv On Fire - 4/10**\n\n**Ma - 4/10**\n\n**Frankie  -  3/10**\n\n**Stuber - 3/10**\n\n**Serenity - 3/10** - *In a year full of batshit-crazy twists (looking at you, Last Christmas), this easily had the batshit-iest twist. It's something you actually have to experience yourself, and be fully-immersed in it, to appreciate how mind-numblingly crazy it is. How they got A-list talent for this script is a total mystery, but it probably involves of a lot of favors and cocaine. It's almost \"so bad its good\". Almost. I can't wait for the sequel, Free Guy, next year.*\n\n**Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil - 3/10** - *More genocide than I expected for a live-action Disney fairy tale movie.*\n\n**Donnybrook - 3/10**\n\n**The Photograph - 3/10** - *Zzzzzzzzzz...*\n\n**Charlie's Angels - 3/10**\n\n**Hellboy - 3/10** - *This movie is like that annoying kid in middle school that tries way to hard to be edgy. It's gory and vulgar just for the sake of being gory & vulgar. It reminded me of the Predator reboot last year, had the same kind of dated/forced humor that seems to have no real target audience (except for the aforementioned middle school edgy kid I guess). Bad CGI and a boring villain. iirc it also had a lame sequel-bait ending which I hate.*\n\n**Happy Death Day 2U** - 3/10 - \n\n**The Sun Is Also A Star** - 3/10 - *It's filmed like a generic music video and has the emotional depth of a puddle.*\n\n**Don't Let Go** - 3/10\n\n**The Invisibles** - 3/10\n\n**Playing with Fire  - 3/10** - *This was just like Mark Wahlberg's Instant Family last year, except that it was worse in every imaginable way. No lie, the end-credits bloopers were by far better than anything else in the movie. It was the only time I even chuckled or felt any type of emotion.*\n\n**Cats - 2/10** - *There's not much more I could say that already hasn't been said. Yes, it was bad. No, it wasn't the worst movie in history. For me, it was just so boring. Forgettable songs (except Beautiful Ghosts), no story/plot, nonsensical ending. Just wanted it to end. Jennifer Hudson just floating into space for no reason, Judi Dench giving me unwarranted lessons about raising cats, Ian McKellen slurping milk from a bowl, Extremely-Hairy-And-Naked-Idris-Elba, Cockroach Genocide, etc. These things all happened and we can't change them, and for us to grow as a society, we need to just move on and learn from our mistakes.*\n\n**Rambo: Last Blood - 2/10**\n\n**The Sound of Silence - 2/10** - *More like The Sound of Boredom, amirite? No but seriously, that's all I got. This movie was the closest I got to falling asleep in my seat this year.*\n\n**Synonyms - 2/10**\n\n**Black Christmas - 2/10** - *Extremely cheesy dialogue, cop-out violence, boring/predictable jump scares, low production value (bad even for a low-end Blumhouse movie), some of the worst one-liners you've ever heard, unrealistic/2D characters. Shitty ending. Wayyyyy too heavy-handed with the message. About as subtle as a flying brick to the forehead. Amateur acting, cutaway for every death, etc etc.*\n\n**After the Wedding - 2/10** - *Overacted, muddled garbage.*\n\n**47 Meters Down Uncaged - 1/10**\n\n**Shaft - 1/10** - *Crude, unfunny, soulless, grating, pointless. There's a million adjectives I could use to describe this reboot, and none of them are positive. This is one I'm surprised I didn't just walk out of. Probably didn't have anything better do do that day.*\n\n**Jexi - 1/10** - *This year's worst movie. It's just the kind of movie that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, like you need to watch something else to get the stink of this one out of your mind. It was just so mean-spirited, from start to finish. Not a single joke landed, you just hated all of the characters. There are no redeeming factors. On the technical side, it was very basic, looked like a cheap music video. No memorable scenes, no good lines of dialogue, no originality in any way. None of the \"cheerful\"/\"pick-me-up\" moments earn any kind of emotional reaction. If you had a freshman high-school film student remake Her as a shitty comedy, this would be it. The fact that I paid money to see this is something I will never live down.*\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\n**Movies that I saw outside of theaters, not included in the list:**\n\n* **The King - 8/10** - Netflix\n* **Paddleton - 8/10** - Netflix\n* **El Camino: A Breaking Bad Story - 8/10** - Netflix\n* **High Flying Bird - 7/10** - Netflix\n* **Dolemite Is My Name - 7/10** - Netflix\n* **Triple Frontier -  6/10**  - Netflix\n* **The Boy Who Harnessed Wind  - 6/10** - Netflix\n* **The Laundromat - 5/10** - Netflix\n* **The Highwaymen - 5/10** - Netflix\n* **Velvet Buzzsaw -  4/10** - Netflix\n* **Bird Box -  4/10**  - Netflix\n* **Six Underground - 2/10** - Netflix\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n**Movies that I saw in theaters in 2019, but are not included in the list due to original release date:**\n\n* **If Beale Street Could Talk - 9/10**\n* **Cold War - 9/10**\n* **Capernaum - 9/10**\n* **Mary Poppins Returns - 7/10**\n* **The Charmer - 6/10**\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------\n**Movies that I haven't seen yet but will see in the next few weeks:**\n\n* **Little Women**\n* **1917**\n* **In Fabric**\n* **Tremors**\n* **Just Mercy**\n* **Midnight Family**\n* **A Million Little Pieces**\n* **The Earthquake Bird**\n* **American Son**\n* **Portrait of A Lady On Fire**\n* **Clemency**\n* **Beanpole**\n* **The Kingmaker**\n* **The Song of Names**\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n**Here is the distribution of theater visits by day of the week:**\n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/aIlGc6d.jpg\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n**Throughout the year, I've gone to 13 different theaters. 9 at major chains, and 4 at indie theaters.

That's up from 162 in 2018, 140 in 2017, 9 in 2016, and 5 in 2015. I usually go 3 or 4 times per week, mostly on weekends. I keep track of dates/theaters/movies/ratings for fun and save all of the stubs.</p>\n\n<p>My ratings are what I give the movie right after seeing it, with no real 'checklist' or anything, mostly just initial thought/enjoyment/opinion. It's not meant to be taken super seriously, I'm not a professional reviewer.</p>\n\n<p>This is my full ranking for the year, from favorite to least-favorite, with a few small reviews/thoughts thrown in:</p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Monos - 10/10</strong> - <em>Hands-down my favorite movie of the year and honestly high on my all-time list. It's Apocalypse Now meets Lord of the Flies, with some Beasts of No Nation thrown in. It builds a unique, lived-in world that's believable and brutal. Beautifully-filmed, some of the best shots of the year (the ending shot gets seared in your mind). Modern and grounded look at a militia/cartel fighting against an unnamed enemy in a Colombian jungle. It almost feels post-apocalyptic instead of 'cartel vs government', which I really loved. You get to imagine your own backstory as the story unfolds. Unforgiving and gut-wrenching, but hopeful too. Got a lot out of its cast. Can't recommend this movie enough. Really disappointed this didn't make the Best Foreign Language Film shortlist. "Masterpiece" gets thrown around a lot, but in my mind this is the only one this year.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Marriage Story - 10/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Farewell - 10/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Journey to a Mother's Room - 9/10</strong> - <em>Biggest surprise of the year, came out of nowhere. Deeply-personal story between a mother & daughter. It's very basic on the surface, and there's not much story (you start at Point A, and end at Point A), but it's the most emotional movie of the year. If you don't cry at least 3 times during this, you're probably not human. It's all about the unbreakable connection you have to your parent(s), from the day you're born until the day you die. It only takes place over the course of a few months, but feels like lifetimes. Beautiful little movie about separation, loss, and human connection.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Waves - 9/10</strong> - <em>I could write 20 pages on how much I loved this movie. To keep it short, it's got a perfect soundtrack, perfect setting, awards-worthy performances (from Kelvin Harrison Jr., Sterling K. Brown, and Taylor Russell). Visceral story that grips you from the first minute and doesn't let go until the closing shot. Unique use of colors and aspect-ratio. It takes a huge risk structurally that pays off. It's also the only movie I went to see twice this year. Really worth it too, picked up on a lot of stuff on the second viewing. Would've went a third time if theaters kept it playing longer. Every tiny decision/action has a huge impact. Just watch this.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Last Black Man In San Francisco - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Birds of Passage - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Apollo 11 - 9/10</strong> - <em>The best documentary of the year. Probably the best editing (and use of sound) I've ever seen/heard in a documentary. It's unique because they don't use interviews like most documentaries do, it's real sound the whole through. Impressive use of archival footage/audio.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Uncut Gems - 9/10</strong> - <em>This movie wasn't on the Best Original Score shortlist for the 2020 Oscars. This aggression will not stand.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Mustang - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Wild Rose - 9/10</strong> - <em>If this doesn't win the Oscar for Best Original Song ('Glasgow'), I've lost all faith in the Academy. The ending concert scene had me crying like a baby. Jessie Buckley is gonna be big. Best music-drama since A Star Is Born.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Transit  - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Ad Astra - 9/10</strong> - <em>Top-notch acting, great atmosphere, world-building, existentialism, beautiful VFX, engaging score. Best opening scene of the year. Thoughtful commentary on modern society all wrapped in a Heart of Darkness blanket. If you're into space/exploration movies, then I recommend this. Surprised at the backlash this movie has gotten on <a href=\"/r/movies\">/r/movies</a>.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Report  - 9/10</strong> - <em>This was a really good year for legal-thrillers and The Report was the cream of the crop. Tight, Sorkin-like script with top performances from Adam Driver & Annette Bening. Could change a lot of minds about the war on terror and use of torture.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Parasite - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - 9/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Midnight Traveler - 9/10</strong> - <em>If you feel like life is unfair and the odds are stacked against you, watch this movie. It puts everything in a different perspective. Every problem you have is going to seem minuscule compared to what this family went through. It's eye-opening and should fill you with anger.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Luce - 9/10</strong> - <em>It's Kelvin Harrison Jr's world and we're just living in it.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Irishman - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Mickey and the Bear - 8/10</strong> - <em>Camila Morrone puts in the best breakout performance of the year. PTSD, drug-addiction, alcoholism, rural Montana, toxic relationships, James Badge Dale, following your dreams. What's not to love?</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Art of Self Defense - 8/10</strong> - <em>The best dark-comedy of the year. So many great one liners. It's like Yorgos Lanthimos directing Death of Stalin, set in a karate studio. Surprisingly violent and depressing, but in all the right ways. Jesse Eisenberg's best movie since.....The Social Network?</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Peanut Butter Falcon - 8/10</strong> - <em>"Am I going to die?" "We all do, it's only a \nmatter of time, now stop being a little bitch." - Favorite line of the year, really stuck with me.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Everybody Knows - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Mary Magdalene - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Knives Out - 8/10</strong> - <em>Well-crafted whoddunit with an ensemble cast. Just a genuinely fun time at the movies. Ana de Armas with well-deserved leading role for once. A few of the characters are a tad bit unrealistic (and basically caricatures), but the movie doesn't take itself seriously enough for that to be a problem. Daniel Craig hamming it up with a Southern accent was fun. Old school film with a modern twist.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Lighthouse - 8/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>The Dead Don't Die - 8/10</strong> - <em>This movie really isn't for everyone, but I loved the dry humor and purposefully-bad chemistry/dialogue. The line delivery was off-putting but hilarious. Everything is extremely on-the-nose and it works. I could watch 10 hours of Tom Waits talking to himself.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Us - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Villains - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Ford v Ferrari  - 8/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Midsommar - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Jojo Rabbit  - 8/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Official Secrets - 8/10</strong> - <em>Keira Knightley with one of the most underrated performances of the year. Another really good legal/political-thriller that exposes the dark side of government bureaucracy.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Pain & Glory - 8/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>John Wick 3: Parabellum - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Queen & Slim - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Amazing Grace - 8/10</strong> - <em>Great concert-documentary. Some of Aretha Franklin's performances in this should give you insane chills. I actually had this one rated higher right after watching it, but then looked up some of the people shown on screen and it turns out some were real pieces of shit, while preaching to people like hypocrits. Felt gross and took a lot of the magic out. One of my few revised scores this year.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Joker - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Non-Fiction - 8/10</strong> - <em>It's very French (talky and sexual) and the writing seems impressed with itself,  but it's a good adult-drama that surprised me. I'm a big fan of Olivier Assayas and this is some of his best work.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Rocketman - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Stan & Ollie - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Hustlers - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Avengers Endgame - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Doctor Sleep - 8/10</strong> - <em>It gets bloated and probably needed to be 20-30 minutes shorter (there's a shit ton of side-characters), but it was a worthwhile sequel to The Shining. Didn't feel like a cash grab and carries its own weight.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Booksmart - 8/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Little Monsters  - 8/10</strong> - <em>I'd recommend watching this based just on Josh Gad's character. So over-the-top and hilarious. When he starts chugging hand sanitizer might be the most I laughed in a theater this year. Also Lupita Nyong'o playing & singing on the ukulele to a bunch of kids is exactly what I needed in my life. Cute zombie-comedy with a ton of heart.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Spider-Man: Far From Home - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>A Hidden Life - 8/10</strong> - <em>If there's a song from this year (or this decade even) that I'd want played at my funeral, it's James Newton Howard's theme from this movie. It's so beautiful and perfectly captures the feel of the movie. That song broke me down every time it played. I can't imagine this movie without it, it's that good. It's a shame this movie is getting ignored this awards season.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Never Look Away - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Toy Story 4 - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Pavarotti - 8/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Biggest Little Farm - 8/10</strong>-  <em>If you're really into the inner-workings of a Californian farm, then this is the documentary for you.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Abominable - 8/10</strong>  </p>\n\n<p><strong>The Current War - 7/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Artic  - 7/10</strong> - <em>Well made, solidly-acted. I loved the small details about survival that this movie brings up, makes it very grounded and realistic. I'm kinda bored of survival movies in general so this didn't blow my mind or anything.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Bombshell - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Honey Boy - 7/10</strong> - <em>Pretty big letdown because I had really high expectations for this one. Lacked the emotional punch I hoped for. Didn't land for me at all, kind of like Boy Erased last year. I appreciate how honest and revealing it was, took a lot of guts for Shia LaBeouf to put this out there but it's forgettable. Lucas Hedges' Shia impression was reallllly on point though, that was worth the price of admission right there. Mid90s last year was a 10/10 for me and I expected the same for this. It was good, not great.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>American Woman - 7/10</strong> - <em>Sienna Miller's performance in this is awards-worthy. The accent she does is perfect and it might be the most underrated role of the year. The movie gets way too tearjerky at the end though. It's basically 2 hours of bad shit happening to a good person, which gets a bit overwhelming.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Beach Bum - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Captain Marvel - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Spies In Disguise - 7/10</strong> - <em>Looked pretty generic based on the trailer, but was actually pretty funny.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Cold Pursuit - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Tolkien - 7/10</strong> - <em>Not much happens but it felt really comfortable. Solid performances all around and they handled the WW1 scenes better than I thought they would. Expected to be bored out of my mind based on the reviews and trailer but it flowed well. As far as "Nicholas Hoult Biopics of Famous Writers" go, it's miles ahead of Rebel in the Rye 2 years ago.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Jumanji: The Next Level - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Sauvage/Wild - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Detective Pikachu - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Maiden - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Dark Waters - 7/10</strong> - . <em>Good performances and an okay script, even though it beats you over the head sometimes. Total waste of Anne Hathaway. She's way too good of an actress for a boring, generic, 'supporting wife' role with just a few lines. Not even sure why she was in this. Overall, a solid legal-thriller, which is a genre I really enjoy and I've been missing since its late-90s heyday. Pretty crazy story too, scummy and evil corporate greed is always interesting to explore on film (like The Insider). Should've been 20 minutes shorter and less on-the-nose</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Adopt A Highway - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Wedding Guest - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Hummingbird Project - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Motherless Brooklyn - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Lion King - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Last Christmas - 7/10</strong> - <em>It's really easy to bash this movie, a lot of the humor falls flat and the twist is ridiculous, but I couldn't help walking out with a smile. I love how committed Emilia Clarke was to the character, and her interactions with her boss and family were legitimately heart-warming at times. Also did I mention how ridiculous that twist is?</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Richard Jewell  - 7/10</strong> - <em>This was decent. Even though it's clearly Clint Eastwood's personal crusade (and thinly-veiled propaganda piece in some regards) against the FBI & the Spooky Media\u2122, it still told the story effectively/semi-believably. Some of the characters (Hamm/Wilde obviously) were pretty ridiculous caricatures though, was hard to take anything they said seriously, I mean come on. You just roll your eyes at most of what they say. Some of the situations and encounters are too-conveniently set-up but that's easy to overlook. It had very solid performances (Hauser was great, especially when he finally let's his emotion show, in that scene where he kicks the table). Much better than The Mule, and 20x better than 15:17 To Paris.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>21 Bridges - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Before You Know It - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Hobbs & Shaw - 7/10</strong> - <em>This is peak "Stupid Summer Popcorn Movie" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's The Meg of 2019</em>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Fighting With My Family - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Pet Sematary  - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Downton Abbey - 7/10</strong> - <em>Never saw a single episode of the show before watching the movie, but it still felt familiar/safe to jump right in.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Yesterday - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Greta  - 7/10</strong> - <em>It's a cheesy, predictable, non-scary horror film but I liked it. Sometimes you just need Isabelle Hupert to play a psychopathic serial killer. Felt very old-school, a movie straight out of the 1980s.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Judy - 7/10</strong> - <em>It's the definition of Oscar bait and is emotionally manipulative, especially towards the end, but it does a great job at humanizing a Hollywood legend.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Frozen 2  - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Aladdin - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Souvenir - 7/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Zombieland 2: Double Tap - 7/10</strong> - <em>Nowhere near as memorable/iconic as the first one, but it still got a bunch of laughs from me (especially the Thomas Middleditch/Luke Wilson scene). Above-average for a comedy-sequel, but I could see this one not aging well</em>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Two Popes - 6/10</strong> - <em>Two solid performances but underwhelming overall, too many cheap-looking flashback scenes, not enough Pryce/Hopkins. Reminded me of Can You Ever Forgive Me? last year, depending on the 2 leads to carry a weak movie/premise on their back, to disappointing results. Highly-overrated movie.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Ready Or Not - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Anna - 6/10</strong> - <em>It's basically Red Sparrow but slightly worse</em>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Saint Frances  - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Hotel Mumbai - 6/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Shazam! - 6/10</strong> - <em>Low-stakes, formulaic, superhero movie clearly made with strict budget limitations. It hits all the notes you'd expect a movie like this to hit. It was decent.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Alita: Battle Angel - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Loro - 6/10</strong> - <em>One of the more disappointing movies of the year. On paper it sounds amazing, a sprawling biopic of an infamous/corrupt Italian politician/mogul by Paolo Sorrentino who's not that far removed from a masterpiece? Sign me the fuck up. But nah, this was a shallow, surface-level (like my reviews), pointless dull knife of a biopic. Too much shoehorned religious imagery too. Tone is all over the place. It can't decide whether it's serious or funny and gets lost in-between. It looked nice at least. It also wins this year's "Most Nudity" award, easily beating the rest of the field.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Teen Spirit - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Upside - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Gloria Bell - 6/10</strong> - <em>Great performance from Julianne Moore but this just felt like "Middle-Aged Crisis: The Movie". Just couldn't connect to it. I imagine the original is a lot better.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>On The Basis Of Sex - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Stockholm - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Give Me Liberty  - 6/10</strong>  - <em>This is an example of a movie that has its heart in the right place but bites off a lot more than it can chew. There's a beautiful, emotional story in here somewhere, but it's too muddled with ineffective editing tricks and too many side-stories. It's sweet in some ways and the true-life characters bring a lot of charm, but it didn't do that much for me. A lot of 'year-end' lists have this as one of the most overlooked movies of the year, but I don't see it. Rough editing, bad soundtrack.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Child's Play - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Good Boys - 6/10</strong> - <em>Just watch Booksmart instead</em>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Styx - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Woman at War - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Lego Movie 2 -  6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Missing Link - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Long Shot - 6/10</strong> - <em>The chemistry between Charlize Theron & Seth Rogen was great but the jokes couldn't really match it. It's a unique mix of politics & humor, but fell short of being an actual crowd-pleaser.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Echo in the Canyon - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Cyrano, My Love - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Dora the Explorer - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Brittany Runs A Marathon - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>IT: Chapter 2 - 6/10</strong> - <em>Way too long.

Good CGI & acting though.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Mister America - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Crawl - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Trial By Fire - 6/10</strong> - <em>Great performances by Laura Dern & Jack O'Connell get overshadowed by an overly-preacy script. It doesn't let the audience make up its own mind.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Third Wife - 6/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Godzilla: King of Monsters - 5/10</strong> - <em>This needed less humans, more monsters.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Glass - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Escape Room - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Terminator: Dark Fate - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Dumbo - 5/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>All Is True - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Brightburn  - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The White Crow - 5/10</strong> - <em>One of those biopics where the movie doesn't do justice to the story. Reading the Wikipedia page on this guy's life, you'd except an Oscar contender. Instead it was just okay. Watch Cold War instead. It's basically this movie but better.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>High Life - 5/10</strong> - <em>Unpleasant.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Where'd You Go Bernadette? - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Scary Stories to Tell Dark - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Her Smell - 5/10</strong> - <em>This movie made me physically nauseous. The tight, claustrophobic, haze-filled shots in the first 2 acts really threw me off. It's temporarily redeemed by a reallllllly good third act and a solid performance from Elisabeth Moss. But then deflated by a terrible final scene.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>By the Grace of God - 5/10</strong> - <em>Based on the critical acclaim, director, and subject matter, I walked in expected to be blown away. Basically expected Spotlight, but this movie completely derails at the halfway point. Hard to sit through</em>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Blinded by the Light - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Best of Enemies - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Aeronauts - 5/10</strong> - <em>This is mis-marketed as an intense survival story but it's really just a boring biopic with too many flashbacks.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Fall of the American Empire - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Family - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Goldfinch - 5/10</strong> - <em>It turns out an unfilmable novel really is unfilmbable, who would've thought? Shoutout to Jeffrey Wright & Finn Wolfhard for actually trying.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Angel Has Fallen - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Gemini Man - 5/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Late Night  - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Black and Blue  - 5/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Diane - 5/10</strong> - <em>This was just depression-porn. Sometimes it works (Mungiu/Zvyagintsev), sometimes it doesn't (this movie). It's such a bummer. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone but Mary Kay Place's performance makes it watchable and engaging sometimes.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Destroyer - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>How To Train Your Dragon 3 - 5/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Rafiki - 5/10</strong> - <em>I feel bad for this score because I get that this is a really important/significant movie for African Cinema, but I just couldn't get past the terrible acting, bad (like baaaaaad) dialogue, and lackluster story. Again, pretty big achievement that this got made and reached a global audience, but yeah, in a vacuum, it's undoubtedly a bad movie. Felt like an amateur movie on a shoestring budget.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Captive State - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Wild Nights With Emily - 4/10</strong> - <em>This movie is what happens when someone asks the question "hey, what if we turned Emily Dickinson's life into an SNL skit?". I get what they were going for, and Molly Shannon is great, but this was extremely unfunny and probably the longest 84-minute movie I've ever seen.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Dark Pheonix - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Addams Family - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Midway  - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>To Dust - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Rojo - 4/10</strong> - <em>The only memorable thing about this movie is that there was a power outage about 90 minutes in so they comped my ticket and gave me a free drink. So that was cool, I guess.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Kid Who Would Be King - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>MIB: International - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Kid - 4/10</strong> - <em>There's a 98% chance that this movie is some kind of tax write-off or money laundering scheme. It somehow got 2 big names (Pratt & Hawke), co-starring the son of the producer in his first movie ever. Directed by Vincent D'Onofrio for some reason (???). Was dumped by Lionsgate in a few hundred theaters with 0 marketing/promotion, and flopped hard. It's dated, boring, and unoriginal. Cheesy dialogue. Literally a story that's been told a million times before, usually in much better ways. No reason for this to exist. Chris Pratt has the worst fake-movie-beard of all time in this, that's kinda worth checking out.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Ramen Shop - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Good Liar - 4/10</strong>- <em>The most convoluted, needlessly-complicated plot of the year. Helen Mirren & Ian McKellen both phone it in (I don't blame them, they were given trash to work with). I hate when movies try to crowbar "WW2 flashbacks" into their movies when it's not needed.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Climax - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Harriet - 4/10</strong> </p>\n\n<p><strong>Lucy in the Sky - 4/10</strong> - <em>Once or twice a year, a movie comes along that has such a frustrating/stupid/anti-climactic ending it makes me actually angry. This is that movie. Natalie Portman had another movie like that last year (Vox Lux). Hey Noah Hawley, what the fuck?</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Freaks - 4/10</strong> - <em>This movie would fit well in the "Good Idea But Bad Execution" subreddit.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Tel Aviv On Fire - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Ma - 4/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Frankie  -  3/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Stuber - 3/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Serenity - 3/10</strong> - <em>In a year full of batshit-crazy twists (looking at you, Last Christmas), this easily had the batshit-iest twist. It's something you actually have to experience yourself, and be fully-immersed in it, to appreciate how mind-numblingly crazy it is. How they got A-list talent for this script is a total mystery, but it probably involves of a lot of favors and cocaine. It's almost "so bad its good". Almost. I can't wait for the sequel, Free Guy, next year.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil - 3/10</strong> - <em>More genocide than I expected for a live-action Disney fairy tale movie.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Donnybrook - 3/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Photograph - 3/10</strong> - <em>Zzzzzzzzzz...</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Charlie's Angels - 3/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Hellboy - 3/10</strong> - <em>This movie is like that annoying kid in middle school that tries way to hard to be edgy. It's gory and vulgar just for the sake of being gory & vulgar. It reminded me of the Predator reboot last year, had the same kind of dated/forced humor that seems to have no real target audience (except for the aforementioned middle school edgy kid I guess). Bad CGI and a boring villain. iirc it also had a lame sequel-bait ending which I hate.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Happy Death Day 2U</strong> - 3/10 - </p>\n\n<p><strong>The Sun Is Also A Star</strong> - 3/10 - <em>It's filmed like a generic music video and has the emotional depth of a puddle.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Don't Let Go</strong> - 3/10</p>\n\n<p><strong>The Invisibles</strong> - 3/10</p>\n\n<p><strong>Playing with Fire  - 3/10</strong> - <em>This was just like Mark Wahlberg's Instant Family last year, except that it was worse in every imaginable way. No lie, the end-credits bloopers were by far better than anything else in the movie. It was the only time I even chuckled or felt any type of emotion.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Cats - 2/10</strong> - <em>There's not much more I could say that already hasn't been said. Yes, it was bad. No, it wasn't the worst movie in history. For me, it was just so boring. Forgettable songs (except Beautiful Ghosts), no story/plot, nonsensical ending. Just wanted it to end. Jennifer Hudson just floating into space for no reason, Judi Dench giving me unwarranted lessons about raising cats, Ian McKellen slurping milk from a bowl, Extremely-Hairy-And-Naked-Idris-Elba, Cockroach Genocide, etc. These things all happened and we can't change them, and for us to grow as a society, we need to just move on and learn from our mistakes.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Rambo: Last Blood - 2/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The Sound of Silence - 2/10</strong> - <em>More like The Sound of Boredom, amirite?

Shitty ending. Wayyyyy too heavy-handed with the message. About as subtle as a flying brick to the forehead. Amateur acting, cutaway for every death, etc etc.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>After the Wedding - 2/10</strong> - <em>Overacted, muddled garbage.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>47 Meters Down Uncaged - 1/10</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Shaft - 1/10</strong> - <em>Crude, unfunny, soulless, grating, pointless. There's a million adjectives I could use to describe this reboot, and none of them are positive. This is one I'm surprised I didn't just walk out of. Probably didn't have anything better do do that day.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Jexi - 1/10</strong> - <em>This year's worst movie. It's just the kind of movie that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, like you need to watch something else to get the stink of this one out of your mind. It was just so mean-spirited, from start to finish. Not a single joke landed, you just hated all of the characters. There are no redeeming factors. On the technical side, it was very basic, looked like a cheap music video. No memorable scenes, no good lines of dialogue, no originality in any way. None of the "cheerful"/"pick-me-up" moments earn any kind of emotional reaction. If you had a freshman high-school film student remake Her as a shitty comedy, this would be it. The fact that I paid money to see this is something I will never live down.</em></p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Movies that I saw outside of theaters, not included in the list:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The King - 8/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Paddleton - 8/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>El Camino: A Breaking Bad Story - 8/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>High Flying Bird - 7/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Dolemite Is My Name - 7/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Triple Frontier -  6/10</strong>  - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>The Boy Who Harnessed Wind  - 6/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>The Laundromat - 5/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>The Highwaymen - 5/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Velvet Buzzsaw -  4/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Bird Box -  4/10</strong>  - Netflix</li>\n<li><strong>Six Underground - 2/10</strong> - Netflix</li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Movies that I saw in theaters in 2019, but are not included in the list due to original release date:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If Beale Street Could Talk - 9/10</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Cold War - 9/10</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Capernaum - 9/10</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Mary Poppins Returns - 7/10</strong></li>\n<li><strong>The Charmer - 6/10</strong></li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Movies that I haven't seen yet but will see in the next few weeks:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Little Women</strong></li>\n<li><strong>1917</strong></li>\n<li><strong>In Fabric</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Tremors</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Just Mercy</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Midnight Family</strong></li>\n<li><strong>A Million Little Pieces</strong></li>\n<li><strong>The Earthquake Bird</strong></li>\n<li><strong>American Son</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Portrait of A Lady On Fire</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Clemency</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Beanpole</strong></li>\n<li><strong>The Kingmaker</strong></li>\n<li><strong>The Song of Names</strong></li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Here is the distribution of theater visits by day of the week:</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/aIlGc6d.jpg\">https://i.imgur.com/aIlGc6d.jpg</a></p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Throughout the year, I've gone to 13 different theaters. 9 at major chains, and 4 at indie theaters.

To view the Nintendo Direct presentation in its entirety, visit\u00a0[https://www.youtube.com/live/DXUmjX7DsP8](https://www.youtube.com/live/DXUmjX7DsP8).\n\n**GameChat Enables New Ways to Play Socially, All Together**\n\nWith the new online feature GameChat\\*\\*, people can play games and talk like everyone is in the same room, even if they are miles apart. Whether sharing a victory or just waving hello, GameChat makes it feel like online friends around the world are on the same couch. Once GameChat is up, players can start a chat with friends anytime by pressing the C Button on the right Joy-Con 2 controller. The system\u2019s built-in mic can be used to voice chat while playing games with up to 12 people in different locations. Up to four friends can share their screen, and if they connect a compatible USB-C camera, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera (sold separately), they can also video chat, seeing each other\u2019s faces as they cheer, shout, or laugh while playing. Additional friends can join the chat via audio only. Until the end of March 2026, GameChat can be used without the need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Afterwards, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required.\n\nWhen initiating a GameChat session, the user invites people from their friend list. Safety features are in place to help players have a safe and secure chat experience, such as the ability to report a person while in a chat session. In addition, Nintendo recognizes the important role parents and guardians play in their children\u2019s online experiences, so children under the age of sixteen will need their parent or guardian to approve their use of GameChat with an updated version of the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls App.\n\n**A Multitude of New Features and Experiences**\n\n**A large, vivid screen that allows smooth motion expression**\n\nNintendo Switch 2 has a large 7.9-inch built-in LCD screen that displays in full HD at 1080p while maintaining the same thickness of Nintendo Switch. Even while on the go, Nintendo Switch 2 offers vivid, detailed game experiences, as well as smooth graphics showcasing character movements and their rich facial expressions.\n\n**Joy-Con 2 controllers attach to the system with a \u201csnap\u201d**\n\nJoy-Con 2, the newly designed Nintendo Switch 2 controllers, magnetically attach to the Nintendo Switch 2 console. In addition, either Joy-Con 2 controller can be operated like a mouse by sliding it on a surface like a table or on a pair of pants. They can be used in multiple ways, including for games that require aiming.\n\n**A new freely adjustable stand and a new USB-C port**\n\nThe angle of the new stable stand on the back of the Nintendo Switch 2 system can be adjusted freely so that players can find their preferred viewing angle. While Nintendo Switch has one USB-C port on the bottom of the system, Nintendo Switch 2 has a port on the top of the system as well, which makes it possible for players to use the included AC adapter to charge the system while playing in tabletop mode. It is also possible to connect a compatible USB-C camera, like the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory to enjoy video chat on GameChat.\n\n**Powerful processing speed and graphical performance**\n\nNintendo Switch 2 has significantly improved CPU and GPU performance over Nintendo Switch, resulting in faster processing speed and enabling new visually advanced gameplay. It also makes it possible to achieve more detailed graphics and faster loading times.\n\n**Crisp audio quality and spatial 3D sound**\n\nOn Nintendo Switch 2, the sound quality is more natural and clearer with an even more balanced sound range. When playing in handheld mode or tabletop mode, players will be able to experience games with even more immersive, three-dimensional sound.\n\n**Internal storage of 256 GB**\n\nThe internal storage of Nintendo Switch 2, where digital games and save data are stored, is 256 GB, which is 8 times the storage capacity of Nintendo Switch. For additional storage, Nintendo Switch 2 only uses microSD Express cards, which have faster data reading speeds than previous microSD models.\n\n**Nintendo Switch games are also playable on Nintendo Switch 2**\n\nIn addition to Nintendo Switch 2 games, Nintendo Switch 2 can play compatible physical and digital games released on Nintendo Switch. Some Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers and peripherals, such as the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, will also be usable on Nintendo Switch 2 by connecting them wirelessly to the system. For more information on the compatibility with Nintendo Switch games and accessories, please visit the\u00a0Nintendo website.\n\n**The new Nintendo Switch 2 Dock**\n\nBy connecting the Nintendo Switch 2 Dock to a TV, users can output video at up to 4K resolution and play games at up to 120 fps, via compatible games and TVs.\n\n**Multiple people can play one title with GameShare**\n\nWith GameShare, a new Nintendo Switch 2 feature, players can share and play the same game with others who do not have the game. If one person has a Nintendo Switch 2 system and a game compatible with GameShare, that person can invite others to temporarily play the same game together via local play with their Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system. Between Nintendo Switch 2 systems, GameShare can also be used along with GameChat for online play, so that players can chat with others while all of them play the same game.\n\n**Virtual game cards add benefits to digital games**\n\nWith virtual game cards, players can easily manage all their purchased digital games, play games on two different systems, or even lend or borrow games. The virtual game card menu shows all of the digital games purchased with a user\u2019s Nintendo Account, making it easy to access the games and load them on the system. Once a virtual game card is loaded onto a system, it can be played even if the system is not connected to the internet, and other users who are on that system can also play the game. Additionally, digital games can be lent and borrowed among members of the same Nintendo Account family group in the form of virtual game cards via local wireless communication.\n\n**Nintendo Switch Online**\n\nNintendo Switch Online\\*\\* will be available on Nintendo Switch 2. On Nintendo Switch 2, players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be able to use features like GameChat along with existing online features. For a limited time, all Nintendo Switch 2 owners can access GameChat without a Nintendo Switch Online membership through the GameChat Open-Access period, which lasts until the end of March 2026. After that time, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to use GameChat. In addition, for Nintendo Switch 2 owners, Nintendo GameCube \u2013 Nintendo Classics will be released right at the system\u2019s launch. Players with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership and a Nintendo Switch 2 system will be able to access a growing collection of Nintendo GameCube games with clearer image quality and higher resolution than the original releases. The classic game lineup available at release will be\u00a0*F-Zero GX*,\u00a0*The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker*\u00a0and\u00a0*SOULCALIBUR II*. Along with the classic games, a dedicated wireless controller designed after the original GameCube controller will be available for purchase\\*\\*\\* by paid Nintendo Switch Online members.\n\n**Variety of accessibility features**\n\nIn addition to existing accessibility features on Nintendo Switch, to support players\u2019 wide range of gameplay styles, Nintendo Switch 2 offers a variety of new accessibility options including the ability to adjust font size, enable screen reader, and speech-to-text features within GameChat.\n\n**Safe and secure game experience on Nintendo Switch 2**\n\nWith the Nintendo Switch Parental Control app, parents can easily support their children\u2019s gameplay by using their smart device to check what kind of games their children play or set limits on how long the system can be used daily. As for GameChat, children under the age of 16 will need the parent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s approval on the Nintendo Switch Parental Control app to start a chat, which makes it possible for parents and guardians to manage their children\u2019s chat experience securely.\n\nNintendo Switch 2 will be available for pre-order in North America from participating retailers beginning on April 9, 2025.\n\n**New Games for a New System**\n\nNintendo Switch 2 will launch with games that highlight its new capabilities while bringing everyone along for the ride.

Whether sharing a victory or just waving hello, GameChat makes it feel like online friends around the world are on the same couch. Once GameChat is up, players can start a chat with friends anytime by pressing the C Button on the right Joy-Con 2 controller. The system\u2019s built-in mic can be used to voice chat while playing games with up to 12 people in different locations. Up to four friends can share their screen, and if they connect a compatible USB-C camera, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera (sold separately), they can also video chat, seeing each other\u2019s faces as they cheer, shout, or laugh while playing. Additional friends can join the chat via audio only. Until the end of March 2026, GameChat can be used without the need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Afterwards, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required.</p>\n\n<p>When initiating a GameChat session, the user invites people from their friend list. Safety features are in place to help players have a safe and secure chat experience, such as the ability to report a person while in a chat session. In addition, Nintendo recognizes the important role parents and guardians play in their children\u2019s online experiences, so children under the age of sixteen will need their parent or guardian to approve their use of GameChat with an updated version of the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls App.</p>\n\n<p><strong>A Multitude of New Features and Experiences</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>A large, vivid screen that allows smooth motion expression</strong></p>\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch 2 has a large 7.9-inch built-in LCD screen that displays in full HD at 1080p while maintaining the same thickness of Nintendo Switch. Even while on the go, Nintendo Switch 2 offers vivid, detailed game experiences, as well as smooth graphics showcasing character movements and their rich facial expressions.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Joy-Con 2 controllers attach to the system with a \u201csnap\u201d</strong></p>\n\n<p>Joy-Con 2, the newly designed Nintendo Switch 2 controllers, magnetically attach to the Nintendo Switch 2 console. In addition, either Joy-Con 2 controller can be operated like a mouse by sliding it on a surface like a table or on a pair of pants. They can be used in multiple ways, including for games that require aiming.</p>\n\n<p><strong>A new freely adjustable stand and a new USB-C port</strong></p>\n\n<p>The angle of the new stable stand on the back of the Nintendo Switch 2 system can be adjusted freely so that players can find their preferred viewing angle. While Nintendo Switch has one USB-C port on the bottom of the system, Nintendo Switch 2 has a port on the top of the system as well, which makes it possible for players to use the included AC adapter to charge the system while playing in tabletop mode. It is also possible to connect a compatible USB-C camera, like the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory to enjoy video chat on GameChat.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Powerful processing speed and graphical performance</strong></p>\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch 2 has significantly improved CPU and GPU performance over Nintendo Switch, resulting in faster processing speed and enabling new visually advanced gameplay.

For additional storage, Nintendo Switch 2 only uses microSD Express cards, which have faster data reading speeds than previous microSD models.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Nintendo Switch games are also playable on Nintendo Switch 2</strong></p>\n\n<p>In addition to Nintendo Switch 2 games, Nintendo Switch 2 can play compatible physical and digital games released on Nintendo Switch. Some Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.

For more information on the compatibility with Nintendo Switch games and accessories, please visit the\u00a0Nintendo website.</p>\n\n<p><strong>The new Nintendo Switch 2 Dock</strong></p>\n\n<p>By connecting the Nintendo Switch 2 Dock to a TV, users can output video at up to 4K resolution and play games at up to 120 fps, via compatible games and TVs.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Multiple people can play one title with GameShare</strong></p>\n\n<p>With GameShare, a new Nintendo Switch 2 feature, players can share and play the same game with others who do not have the game. If one person has a Nintendo Switch 2 system and a game compatible with GameShare, that person can invite others to temporarily play the same game together via local play with their Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system. Between Nintendo Switch 2 systems, GameShare can also be used along with GameChat for online play, so that players can chat with others while all of them play the same game.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Virtual game cards add benefits to digital games</strong></p>\n\n<p>With virtual game cards, players can easily manage all their purchased digital games, play games on two different systems, or even lend or borrow games. The virtual game card menu shows all of the digital games purchased with a user\u2019s Nintendo Account, making it easy to access the games and load them on the system. Once a virtual game card is loaded onto a system, it can be played even if the system is not connected to the internet, and other users who are on that system can also play the game. Additionally, digital games can be lent and borrowed among members of the same Nintendo Account family group in the form of virtual game cards via local wireless communication.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Nintendo Switch Online</strong></p>\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch Online** will be available on Nintendo Switch 2. On Nintendo Switch 2, players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be able to use features like GameChat along with existing online features. For a limited time, all Nintendo Switch 2 owners can access GameChat without a Nintendo Switch Online membership through the GameChat Open-Access period, which lasts until the end of March 2026. After that time, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to use GameChat. In addition, for Nintendo Switch 2 owners, Nintendo GameCube \u2013 Nintendo Classics will be released right at the system\u2019s launch.

As for GameChat, children under the age of 16 will need the parent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s approval on the Nintendo Switch Parental Control app to start a chat, which makes it possible for parents and guardians to manage their children\u2019s chat experience securely.</p>\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for pre-order in North America from participating retailers beginning on April 9, 2025.</p>\n\n<p><strong>New Games for a New System</strong></p>\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch 2 will launch with games that highlight its new capabilities while bringing everyone along for the ride.

Go outside. Actually meet people. Form groups and do things together like every generation before you did for all of human history. Even in a small town, you can find people to hang out with who have mutual interests if you try. \n\nI'm Gen X. I was a feral kid who practically lived outside when I wasn't in school and growing up all of my connections were face to face. I cannot fathom going into a public forum and complaining about how I feel so cut off because an app was shut down. And don't hand me some sob story about how some people have this or that limitation when it comes to leaving the house. Yes , I'm certain some people are limited in their ability to leave their house, but the reality is most Tik Tok users are perfectly capable of going out and socializing. Instead, they've chosen to make apps and social media their entire interaction with the rest of humanity. That's not healthy and it never will be. I've seen about a dozen posts this morning across the different social media platforms I frequent and they're all versions of this same lament you've posted here. Talk about a tempest in a teacup.\n\nI don't use Tik Tok. I'm familiar with what it is and I've even been on it briefly, but there's nothing there that was that appealing for me, so as someone who specifically chooses to go outside and do things in person, I actually find these reactions funny. It's meant to be entertainment, not a lifestyle. A don't even get me started on how worthless the app is for getting news that isn't laden with conspiracy theories and misinformation. Anyone who gets their news solely from Tik Tok is not well informed, no matter how much they've convinced themselves they are.\n\nPlease feel free to down vote this comment. I don't care. I'm one hundred percent correct here and stand by what I'm writing. Or to borrow a quote from Rick and Morty, \"Your boos mean nothing to me. I've seen what you people cheer\n\nReply \n\n> As a gen z, may I ask an honest question? (Fair warning that you might see this as a \u201csob story\u201d as you said, but I\u2019m not whining, it\u2019s just facts. How are we supposed to go out and make friends in this world, when some of us can\u2019t drive anywhere cuz we don\u2019t have a car, because we can\u2019t pay for one, because the older gens won\u2019t give us jobs? (and yes, I went to college and hold a degree) and even if we did, where are we supposed to go to meet people? My mom is gen x, and she said people used to hang out at malls, and fast food places, etc. now, you go to those places and there aren\u2019t many young people like there used to be. We don\u2019t have a physical \u201cthird place\u201d. My town doesn\u2019t really have any clubs or community events for things I\u2019m interested in. TikTok (and i suppose Reddit) is/was the closest we had. And most people you do see, are busy doing their own thing. So tell me, what are we to do? Go up to random people in stores/coffee shops and be like \u201chey, I\u2019m John Doe, wanna be friends?\u201d Cuz that doesn\u2019t actually seem like the best approach. When\u2019s the last time you went up to a stranger, talked for a while, and then kept in contact afterwards? I wish it were that easy, I long for actual face to face, and I wish at times I\u2019d be born in your time and grew up the same way, but that\u2019s much harder in the world we live in now. I wish no hate to you, or gen x. I only wish you\u2019d try to understand a little. (And honestly, if you could provide me with a clear understanding of your perspective as well, I\u2019d be glad to listen. I\u2019m all ears for solutions, provided they\u2019re not just hating on us for being online) Just so you know, I had friends in highschool, but we grew apart for various reasons, so I\u2019m very capable of talking face to face.\n\n\n\n\n----------------------\n\n**Hate against Reddit and other app section, also my friends are dead**\n\n> Idk why it feels like I lost a friend almost. It pisses me off that all these people on Reddit just hate on us because we liked an app. Pretty sure everyone is addicted to something because it helps them get by day to day. I liked TikTok cuz it distracted me, I got to see cool stuff, talk to people and relate to them and help shelter animals get adopted. I guarantee you that most these people taking shit probably used the app at least a couple times and if their source of escape or favorite apps, games, tv shows etc whatever were taken away they\u2019d feel like shit too. I\u2019m not even just sad about tik tok. I\u2019m sad about a shit ton of stuff going on in the world and it\u2019s just gonna keep going downhill from here. https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4ptv7/i_feel_lonely_in_a_way_that_makes_absolutely_no/m7ysfts/\n\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4qfes/i_feel_like_my_world_got_smaller/m7z0dlw/\n\n> Typical reddit rxn, someone shares vulnerability and they're told to go outside and touch grass. People are allowed to feel their feelings.\n\n> The silliest part is that if reddit gets banned next, they'd lose their collective mind\n\n> its why i dislike this site too because its been like this as long as i can remember, people on TikTok are generally much friendlier and less judgemental, it was easier to build or have some semblence of community\n\n> People really do need to go out and touch grass.\n\n-------------------\n\nMore redditors trying to calm tik tokkers down\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4xbf7/people_arent_upset_enough/m7z7wg4/\n\n> No offense, but reading this forum is like looking at a substance abuse subreddit. You people are legitimately demonstrating withdrawal. It\u2019s a social media application that boils down to dopamine fodder, and honestly, your brain is better off without.\nI don\u2019t mean any disrespect either by saying this. I truly get it and hope you guys find solace. It will be better in the long run without the brainrot, though the short term does suck, I feel for you all.\n\n--------------------------------\n\nFinal big rageout drama\n\n> It's now 8 in the morning, Been up all night with my thoughts, I think this is a plot to make us more isolated and alone. I don't know what to do anymore. Where am I going to get information on new books to read from Booktok and share my experiences. Where am I going to learn about the world and find new hobbies? All of my recipes I saved on the app are gone, how am I suppose to eat without paying exorbitant prices for restaurants. I'm so done\n\nReply \n\n> MOTHERFUCKER YOU HAVE THE INTERNET\n\nReply\n\n> I don't have time to find 100 different websites to cater to my needs. I have a job and classes. With TikTok I can just scroll and it will show me the data I need. What, am I supposed to spend 30 minutes finding a good cooking website, endure 10minute videos on YT? With Tiktok it gives me what I need immediately. Where do I even go for news and fun science facts?\n\n\n-----------\n\n**Update** - A Gen Z just set fire to a congressman's office due to the ban https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/local/2025/01/19/tiktok-ban-cited-in-arson-of-us-congressman-glenn-grothmans-office-in-fond-du-lac/77825530007/ - These kids are unhinged.", "author_fullname": "t2_va111r44", "saved": false, "mod_reason_title": null, "gilded": 0, "clicked": false, "title": "Not even 12 hours after the ban, r/TikTok and others devolve into infighting and name-calling as the most addicted users are suffering severe withdrawal to the point of wondering how they will survive the next few days, while others remind them they have the internet.

I was a feral kid who practically lived outside when I wasn't in school and growing up all of my connections were face to face. I cannot fathom going into a public forum and complaining about how I feel so cut off because an app was shut down. And don't hand me some sob story about how some people have this or that limitation when it comes to leaving the house. Yes , I'm certain some people are limited in their ability to leave their house, but the reality is most Tik Tok users are perfectly capable of going out and socializing. Instead, they've chosen to make apps and social media their entire interaction with the rest of humanity. That's not healthy and it never will be. I've seen about a dozen posts this morning across the different social media platforms I frequent and they're all versions of this same lament you've posted here. Talk about a tempest in a teacup.</p>\n\n<p>I don't use Tik Tok. I'm familiar with what it is and I've even been on it briefly, but there's nothing there that was that appealing for me, so as someone who specifically chooses to go outside and do things in person, I actually find these reactions funny. It's meant to be entertainment, not a lifestyle. A don't even get me started on how worthless the app is for getting news that isn't laden with conspiracy theories and misinformation. Anyone who gets their news solely from Tik Tok is not well informed, no matter how much they've convinced themselves they are.</p>\n\n<p>Please feel free to down vote this comment. I don't care. I'm one hundred percent correct here and stand by what I'm writing. Or to borrow a quote from Rick and Morty, "Your boos mean nothing to me. I've seen what you people cheer</p>\n\n<p>Reply </p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>As a gen z, may I ask an honest question? (Fair warning that you might see this as a \u201csob story\u201d as you said, but I\u2019m not whining, it\u2019s just facts. How are we supposed to go out and make friends in this world, when some of us can\u2019t drive anywhere cuz we don\u2019t have a car, because we can\u2019t pay for one, because the older gens won\u2019t give us jobs? (and yes, I went to college and hold a degree) and even if we did, where are we supposed to go to meet people? My mom is gen x, and she said people used to hang out at malls, and fast food places, etc. now, you go to those places and there aren\u2019t many young people like there used to be. We don\u2019t have a physical \u201cthird place\u201d. My town doesn\u2019t really have any clubs or community events for things I\u2019m interested in. TikTok (and i suppose Reddit) is/was the closest we had. And most people you do see, are busy doing their own thing. So tell me, what are we to do? Go up to random people in stores/coffee shops and be like \u201chey, I\u2019m John Doe, wanna be friends?\u201d Cuz that doesn\u2019t actually seem like the best approach. When\u2019s the last time you went up to a stranger, talked for a while, and then kept in contact afterwards? I wish it were that easy, I long for actual face to face, and I wish at times I\u2019d be born in your time and grew up the same way, but that\u2019s much harder in the world we live in now. I wish no hate to you, or gen x. I only wish you\u2019d try to understand a little. (And honestly, if you could provide me with a clear understanding of your perspective as well, I\u2019d be glad to listen. I\u2019m all ears for solutions, provided they\u2019re not just hating on us for being online) Just so you know, I had friends in highschool, but we grew apart for various reasons, so I\u2019m very capable of talking face to face.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>Hate against Reddit and other app section, also my friends are dead</strong></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Idk why it feels like I lost a friend almost. It pisses me off that all these people on Reddit just hate on us because we liked an app. Pretty sure everyone is addicted to something because it helps them get by day to day. I liked TikTok cuz it distracted me, I got to see cool stuff, talk to people and relate to them and help shelter animals get adopted. I guarantee you that most these people taking shit probably used the app at least a couple times and if their source of escape or favorite apps, games, tv shows etc whatever were taken away they\u2019d feel like shit too. I\u2019m not even just sad about tik tok. I\u2019m sad about a shit ton of stuff going on in the world and it\u2019s just gonna keep going downhill from here. <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4ptv7/i_feel_lonely_in_a_way_that_makes_absolutely_no/m7ysfts/\">https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4ptv7/i_feel_lonely_in_a_way_that_makes_absolutely_no/m7ysfts/</a></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4qfes/i_feel_like_my_world_got_smaller/m7z0dlw/\">https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/comments/1i4qfes/i_feel_like_my_world_got_smaller/m7z0dlw/</a></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Typical reddit rxn, someone shares vulnerability and they're told to go outside and touch grass.

Many branching story paths, along with a riveting soundtrack by <em>Celeste</em> composer Lena Raine, set the stage for your journey. <em>Harmony: The Fall of Reverie</em> launches first for consoles on Nintendo Switch this June.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The Nintendo Direct presentation also featured a montage of upcoming Nintendo Switch games, including <em>Blanc</em>, the poetic tale of a wolf cub and a fawn, which launches Feb. 14; <em>Disney Dreamlight Valley</em> \u2013 the hybrid life-sim and adventure game featuring Disney and Pixar friends \u2013 which is available now in Early Access; plus, enjoy a bundle of 10 classic action-packed games with <em>Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection</em>, launching April 14; the acclaimed action-RPG <em>Tales of Symphonia Remastered</em> returns graphically enhanced on Feb. 17; and Japan\u2019s most-played baseball game series has a new entry that will captivate you from the first pitch, <em>WBSC eBASEBALL: POWER</em> <em>PROS</em>, launching on Nintendo Switch \u2026 later today!</p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<p><strong>What is a Nintendo Direct?</strong></p>\n\n<p><em>A Nintendo Direct is a pre-recorded video presentation (Today's is approximately ~40m in length) to make game announcements and provide fans with general updates directly from Nintendo.</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>What if I can't watch the Nintendo Direct or Treehouse live due to work/school/etc.?</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you want the latest news the moment it's announced, consider joining our <a href=\"https://discord.gg/switch\">Discord server</a> and chatting in the #nintendo-direct channel we've opened up for this event.</li>\n<li>If you want a spoiler-free experience, we will edit in a link to a VOD replay (once it's available). This will take you directly to the video so you don't accidentally see any trailers if you visit the Nintendo YouTube page directly. Just don't scroll down!</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><em>There WILL be spoilers here on the subreddit, so watch the video first.</em></p>\n\n<p>If you see any posts that should actually be here in the MegaThread, please do us a favor and hit the report button.</p>\n\n<p>Our SOP for posts is as follows:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>We will allow <strong>one</strong> post per announcement.\n\n<ul>\n<li>The post we allow may not necessarily be the one that was submitted first. We typically will receive about 15 of essentially the exact same post in the span of about 60 seconds. From those, we will select the one that has the <em>best title</em> and <em>links directly to the original source</em> when available.</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li>Commentary on the announcement(s) should take place either in this thread or on the related separate announcement post. Each person's specific opinion does not need its own post.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- SC_ON -->", "likes": null, "suggested_sort": "new", "banned_at_utc": null, "view_count": null, "archived": true, "no_follow": false, "is_crosspostable": false, "pinned": false, "over_18": false, "preview": {"images": [{"source": {"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/gKj4HIlt--2UfC9n_aWCPDs1X99qZYzuGoaR26sgXVk.jpg?auto=webp&s=44768b89edf0820a881a65b459ada2dd9a3d2d93", "width": 512, "height": 288}, "resolutions": [{"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/gKj4HIlt--2UfC9n_aWCPDs1X99qZYzuGoaR26sgXVk.jpg?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e9b122423e9c90b62410ccd7d6ce429dff337099", "width": 108, "height": 60}, {"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/gKj4HIlt--2UfC9n_aWCPDs1X99qZYzuGoaR26sgXVk.jpg?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=6b1611cf6eca3a378238f638c9a19d64bb3033a8", "width": 216, "height": 121}, {"url": "https://external-preview.redd.it/gKj4HIlt--2UfC9n_aWCPDs1X99qZYzuGoaR26sgXVk.jpg?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=49336d1f0821b478fcaa32c13a41b29139134ed9", "width": 320, "height": 180}], "variants": {}, "id": "D32xjiyvMB3p2k6XixIcAt6LTaBgjcTZK-yLWKWuw3g"}], "enabled": false}, "all_awardings": [], "awarders": [], "media_only": false, "link_flair_template_id": "3956cb7e-b339-11e7-a85c-0ef82308ff7e", "can_gild": false, "spoiler": false, "locked": false, "author_flair_text": ":mod:", "treatment_tags": [], "visited": false, "removed_by": null, "num_reports": null, "distinguished": null, "subreddit_id": "t5_3h47q", "author_is_blocked": false, "mod_reason_by": null, "removal_reason": null, "link_flair_background_color": "#228822", "id": "10x530w", "is_robot_indexable": true, "report_reasons": null, "author": "NintendoSwitchMods", "discussion_type": null, "num_comments": 3568, "send_replies": false, "contest_mode": false, "mod_reports": [], "author_patreon_flair": false, "author_flair_text_color": "dark", "permalink": "/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/10x530w/02082023_nintendo_direct_megathread/", "stickied": false, "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/10x530w/02082023_nintendo_direct_megathread/", "subreddit_subscribers": 7926655, "created_utc": 1675876816.0, "num_crossposts": 0, "media": null, "is_video": false}}, {"kind": "t3", "data": {"approved_at_utc": null, "subreddit": "LiverpoolFC", "selftext": "###**YOU'LL NEVER WILDLY SPECULATE ALONE**\n\nThis should act as your one stop shop.

Now we find ourselves in that old familiar clearing at the end of the path. This is the final weekly update that we\u2019ll have before we blast off on another adventure.\n\n\nOur new launch trailer is making the rounds. Here it is if you haven\u2019t had a chance to watch yet.\n\n\n[Video Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFYJTudJ540)\n\n\nToday, you\u2019ll find us ticking all the boxes on the pre-flight checklist. There are some final items we want to cover before you set out to investigate the mysteries of the Moon. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find during a lengthy final scroll:\n\n\n\n* Combat Changes\n* Progression and Economy Changes\n* Patch Note Preview\n* Ritual Weapons and Perk Changes\n* Set It Straight\n* Wear It With Pride\n* Bungie Rewards\n\n\nLet\u2019s start the clock.\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Combat Changes\n\nAs discussed [previously](https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48072), damage numbers in Destiny 2 have been a bit out of control. We\u2019re making some adjustments so the numbers shown are smaller and easier to comprehend without affecting the percentage of damage you\u2019re dealing. We\u2019re also adjusting how your Power works when you go up against enemies tougher than you. Here are some more details on what to expect.\u00a0\n\n###PvE Damage Numbers Display\n\nGoal: To provide players with useful and legible feedback for damage dealt to enemy combatants across many years of Power progression.\n\n\n\n* Displayed damage numbers for damage dealt to non-Guardian enemy combatants are crunched\n\n\n   * Damage dealt is displayed using fewer digits to enhance readability of damage output\n   * Occurrences of displayed damage getting capped at 999,999 should be significantly reduced or eliminated\n   * The exponential curve used to calculate damage numbers for display is replaced with a new linear curve that is built to last for many years\n   * As players grow in Power, displayed damage numbers increase at a much more measured pace than previously\n   * **This is a UI update only; player damage output, whether measured as hits to kill, time to kill, or DPS, remains unchanged by this update**\n\n###**PvE Difficulty Tuning**\n\nGoals: Widen the sweet spot where fighting higher-level combatants provides a fun, challenging, and rewarding combat experience for a more enjoyable Power climb. Also, allow players looking for even greater challenges to confront much higher-level enemies.\n\n\n\n* Combatants that are 10\u201340 levels higher take less time to kill and deal less damage\n* Higher-level combatants continue to increase in difficulty up to 100 Power levels above the player\n* When enemies are 100 Power levels or higher above the player, they are immune to damage\n* Nameplate icons on higher-level combatants have been updated to reflect these changes\n* These changes affect only higher-level combatants; the at-level or over-level experience remains unchanged\n\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Progression and Economy Changes\n\nEvery Season brings with it some tweaks to the Power climb. Shadowkeep is going to deliver significant changes to how you grow in strength. We also want to make you aware of changes to various currencies and the [Eververse Trading Company](https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47935) before you set out to power up your gear.\n\n###Rewards Power and Progression\n\n\n\n* All non-powerful rewards now drop 3 to 0 points below your highest equippable Power level, up from 15 to 20 below\n* Year 2 powerful reward sources have changed to Legendary rewards\n\n   * These sources no longer have a chance to drop a random Exotic instead of the Legendary gear\n* Bonus Exotics that drop from Nightfall: The Ordeal will drop at the character\u2019s highest equippable Power level\n* Under- and over-leveling activities no longer adjust how much Power is received from the rewards\n* Experience no longer fuels a player\u2019s character level, which has been changed to be level 50 for all characters\n\n\n   * Experience instead progresses the Season Pass, Seasonal Artifact mod, and Power progressions, as well as the unlocking of destinations for new characters\n   * Experience rewards have been rebalanced with the introduction of the Season Pass and Seasonal Artifact progressions\n* The Power granted from the Seasonal Artifact is additive with the Power of the player\u2019s equippable gear, but does not increase the Power of gear drops\n* All existing gear has had its Power increased to a minimum of 750; new characters will begin Destiny 2 at Power 750 as well\n* The Power bands for Season 8 are as follows\n\n   * Floor: 750\n   * Soft Cap: 900\n\n\n      * All drops up to this point will be upgrades to the most powerful item in your inventory or vault\n      * Beyond this point, only powerful and pinnacle rewards will increase a player\u2019s Power\n   * Powerful Cap: 950\n\n\n      * All non-powerful/pinnacle rewards are capped at 950\n      * Pinnacle rewards are the only way to raise Power above this point\n      * Powerful rewards are equivalent to the character\u2019s highest-equippable Power beyond this point\n   * Pinnacle Cap: 960\n\n\n      * This is the highest Power at which gear drops; also known as the \u201chard cap\u201d\n      * The Seasonal Artifact bonus Power allows characters to attain values above this level\n* Prime Engrams\n\n\n   * Prime Engrams now gain charges more quickly, drop more frequently, and have a higher maximum charge cap (nine charges, up from six during Year 2)\n   * The Power gains have been rebalanced for the increased frequency, providing +3 Power, down from a range of +4 to +7\n   * Players who have completed the \u201cPrime Example\u201d quest prior to Shadowkeep\u2019s release will earn charges, but those charges won\u2019t drop until the character has reached 900 Power\n   * This will help players avoid spending charges early for gains that are most beneficial during the Soft Cap to Powerful Cap range\n\n###Bright Dust\n\n\n\n* Bright Dust is now earned by completing Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard weekly and repeatable bounties\n\n\n   * We chose to grant all of Bright Dust from ritual weekly bounties rather than spreading it out across the weekly and daily bounties so players could more easily earn Bright Dust without having to make sure they complete every single daily\n   * Players will be able to do the repeatable bounties as many times as they like\n   * Any Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard completed bounties need to be turned in before maintenance begins on 9/30 as these changes will reset them; other bounties\u2014Gunsmith, clan, Eververse, etc.\u2014can still be claimed after Oct 1\n* Eververse items no longer dismantle into Bright Dust, and instead grant legendary shards and glimmer\n* New Eververse items for Season of the Undying will become available for Bright Dust two weeks into the Season\n* Eververse items no longer require Bright Dust to reacquire them(or re-roll perks) from Collections; instead, they cost the same materials that reward items of the same type/rarity use\n* Fireteam Medallions have been removed from the store, deprecated into Fizzled Fireteam Medallions, and can now be dismantled into Bright Dust to recover their purchase price (50 Bright Dust)\n* Gleaming Boon of the Vanguard price has been lowered to 150 Bright Dust\n* Gleaming Boon of the Crucible price has been lowered to 500 Bright Dust\n\n###Eververse\n\n\n\n* The Season 7 Best of Year One Engram has been retired, and in its place, players can now obtain the new Season 8 Nostalgic Engram\n* The Seasonal Milestone no longer grants a bounty; instead, it directly grants a Bright Engram\n* The Season 8 Nostalgic Engram is no longer earned at level up\n\n\n   * Instead, the Bright Engram is now included in the free rewards of the Season Pass that are visible before level 100; it\u2019s also awarded every 5 levels after level 100\n* The Eververse storefront is now available via the Director\n* Eververse bounties (standard and IGR versions) have been deprecated; any remaining bounty notes can be broken down into Bright Dust\n\n\n   * You can still complete and turn in any outstanding Eververse bounties until they expire\u00a0\n\n###Glimmer\n\n\n\n* Players can now store up to 250,000 Glimmer\n* Glimmer rewards from the majority of sources in the game have been rebalanced\n\n\n   * Most open world sources (public events, Lost Sectors, chests) have been significantly increased\n   * Passive Glimmer gain on kill has been reduced\n   * In addition to directly awarding Glimmer on kill, combatants will sometimes drop additional Glimmer chunks\n* Weekly bounties award a large amount of Glimmer in addition to their other rewards\n\n###Spider\u2019s Exchange\n\n\n\n* The Spider welcomes new opportunities with four arms open and now deals in materials from all planets\n* However, the Spider has noted changes in market value, and has adjusted his exchange rates accordingly:\n\n\n   * Glimmer exchange now costs 10 Legendary Shards or 20 materials, and yields 10,000 Glimmer\n   * Tangled Shore daily bounties no longer award Glimmer, providing instead Etheric Spirals (in keeping with his competition)\n   * Weekly wanted bounties no longer award gear, but now provide between 3,000 and 15,000 Glimmer in addition to the Enhancement Cores currently offered\n\n###X\u00fbr\n\n\n\n* X\u00fbr\u2019s inventory pool and Fated Engram now include world-drop Exotics from Year 2\n\n\n***\n\n\n##Patch Note Preview\n\nWe\u2019ll have a bunch of bullet points for you to peruse next week. Here\u2019s something to tide you over until then.\n\n\n* Added rally banners to Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, and Spire of Stars\u00a0\n\n\n* \u201cThe Shattered Throne\u201d Dungeon is now available at all times instead of on a three-week cycle\n\n\n   * It can also be launched and reset from the Director\n\n\n* Black Armory forges are now accessible through a Director-launched playlist on EDZ\n\n\n* Weapon mods are now treated as reusable unlocks instead of consumables; any mods you have in your inventory will be converted to unlocks\n\n\n   * If the only copy of a mod you have is already in a gun, you will need to reacquire one to unlock it\u00a0\n\n\n* Discarding an Enhancement Core no longer deletes the entire stack\n\n\n* Borealis and Hardlight now match the Prism modifier when changing elements on reload, rotating through Void, Arc, and Solar\n\n\n* Fixed an issue where the Hunter\u2019s Tempest Strike melee ability couldn\u2019t be performed if the sprint button/key was set to Hold\n\n\n* The Phoenix Protocol Hearth perk will no longer award bonus Super energy on kills and assists to Warlocks inside a Well of Radiance if they do not also have the Well of Radiance (Attunement of Grace) subclass equipped\n\n\n* Fixed an issue where allied Golden Gun projectiles weren\u2019t going through Banner Shields\n\n\n* Fixed an issue where the Queen\u2019s Wrath perk for the Exotic Wish-Ender Bow wasn\u2019t correctly highlighting players if their shield was depleted\n\n\n* Players who\u2019ve obtained the Salute emote in the past can now correctly select it in their collection and assign it to their emote wheel\n\n\n* Multiplayer (buddy) emotes will now have a visible indication of where a player can stand to interact and initiate the emote\n\n\n* Failing the first encounter for any Black Armory forge will no longer award planetary destination materials. \u0ca0_\u0ca0\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Ritual Weapons and Perk Changes\n\nIn Season of the Undying, pinnacle weapons will become ritual weapons. They will no longer have special perks and will instead be curated rolls. A previous article incorrectly showed two new pinnacle weapons. The good news is you will be getting three ritual weapons for each of the ritual activities: Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit. Here\u2019s the **Destiny Dev Team** on why we made this difficult decision and some information on upcoming perk changes.\u00a0\n\n\n>\n>**Destiny Dev Team**: The decision to stop creating extremely powerful pinnacle weapons was made for a variety of reasons. The first was that the band in which \u201cpinnacle\u201d perk can exist is actually quite small, and most of them far exceeded the efficacy they should have been at. Another issue is that they cause problems in the player ecosystem, particularly in the case of the Crucible pinnacle weapons. Due to the nature of PvP and PvE, anything that works well in PvP is likely going be extremely effective in PvE as well. This forces players into the Crucible if they want the \u201cbest\u201d loadouts. Even the title of \u201cpinnacle\u201d set a variety of unrealistic expectations. Rather than being the absolute height of Legendary power, they were supposed to be interesting novelties to chase.\n\n\n>\n>These problems became more pronounced the more of them we produced. In the end, we decided to move away from pinnacle weapons. If you managed to collect them all, we hope you enjoy them!\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>While we\u2019re on the subject of weapons, here are a few important notes on changes to how perks will work.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>###Reduced the effectiveness of the following perks in PvE:\n>\n>\n>\n>* Rampage, Kill Clip, Swashbuckler, Multikill Clip, Desperado, Surrounded, Master of Arms, Onslaught\n>\n>\n>   * In general, these perks use the same damage multipliers for PvE that they did in PvP\n>   * The change to Rampage does not affect the Huckleberry\n>   * Onslaught and Desperado now change bullet impact values while active in PvE\n>   * Surrounded no longer multiplies precision damage on top of base damage, as it was benefiting some weapon types more than others as a result\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Legendary weapons have become too powerful overall. In many cases, they even outclass Exotic Primary weapons, so we\u2019re walking them all back a bit. All the way back in original Destiny, we had a perk named Crowd Control, which was Rampage\u2019s predecessor. Crowd Control capped out at a bonus of +15% extra damage. At this point in Destiny 2, Rampage caps out at about +67%. That\u2019s a 447% increase from the original iteration. Legendary damage perks have become so powerful, they simply invalidate non-damage related perks.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick preview of the three ritual weapons you can earn in Season of the Undying. Because these weapons are no longer pinnacle weapons, the quest required to earn them is not as in depth as previous seasons.\n\n\n###Vanguard\u2014Edgewise\n\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Edgewise.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/8OoNWkJ.jpg)\n\n\n###Crucible\u2014Randy\u2019s Throwing Knife\n\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Randys_Throwing_Knife.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/PM5QsSk.jpg)\n\n\n###Gambit\u2014Exit Strategy\n\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Exit_Strategy_1.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/QCvyZEs.jpg)\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Set It Straight\n\nDuring the run up to launch, we\u2019ve been dropping videos, articles, interviews, and information all over the internets. Along the way, the fact-checkers called us out a few times. Today, we\u2019re issuing some corrections to previous transmissions.\n\n\n1. There was a shot of Trials of the Nine armor in the launch trailer by mistake. We wanted to clear up any confusion and let players know that the Trials of the Nine set will not obtainable in Season of the Undying.\n\n\n2. We also had to revise our gameplay calendar for Season of the Undying. The menu of action is the same, but we are adjusting the timing of the Nightmare Hunts. The new schedule looks like this:\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Destiny_SoU_Calendar_EN.png)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/RbcJnvC.png)\n\n\n3. Back when we were first talking about finishers and some of the mods that go with them, we talked about how one of the mods enabled you to spawn Heavy ammo for your fireteam when you executed a finisher. That was still in flux at the time, and for balance reasons we ended up making a mod that will spawn Heavy ammo for yourself and a mod that will spawn Special ammo for your fireteam.\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Wear It With Pride\n\nAt Bungie, our mission is to build worlds the inspire friendship. Our games become places where people\u2014all kinds of people\u2014can gather to share meaningful experiences. One of the most important aspects of friendship is acceptance. Earlier this year, we took to the streets as part of the Seattle Pride Parade. We also offered up a Pride Pin via the Bungie Store that was rumored to have an emblem that would come with it. The rumors are true, and we\u2019ve chosen International Coming Out Day as the advent to deploy the in-game expression of acceptance.\u00a0\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Pride.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/58LI4EX.jpg)\n\n\nFor the details, along with a personal story to capture the spirit of that day, here is one of our own\u2026\n\n\n>\n>Hi Y\u2019all,\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>My name\u2019s Nigel. You may know me from things like the [Shattered Throne Ride Along](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/418163901?t=00h12m01s), or this [wonderful fan video](https://youtu.be/UDpZbFdJ14Y?t=52) made during our St. Jude\u2019s charity stream. This is my first TWAB post and I\u2019m a little nervous, so I\u2019m going to use one of my favorite TV shows, Golden Girls, as a crutch.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Picture it. Tempe, Arizona 2009.\u00a0 A sophomore in college. At this point in my life, I\u2019d never really had a girlfriend or really found myself attracted to a woman. I refused to believe I was gay. Having seen so many coming-out stories go poorly, with family and friends abandoning people they loved, I didn\u2019t want that for myself. So I ignored it by playing video games.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Dragon Age: Origins had just released, and my twin brother had been bugging me for a good week to buy it and play it. Quickly I found myself wrapped in magic and steel for an untold, but probably perfectly healthy, amount of time. During this time, I found myself conversing with one of the male party members, simply trying to raise his approval.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>That\u2019s when it appeared. The option to flirt with this character. I was as the kids say, \u201c[shooketh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcMrh0MnCxw).\u201d I sat for what must have been twenty minutes before deciding to click on it. He flirted back. My heart skipped. I was a ball of nerves and anxiety as the conversation continued with another chance to confess romantic feelings to the character. I thought I was going to vomit all over a simple choice in a video game. I debated with myself, what did it mean that I wanted to flirt with this character? Why did I suddenly feel like my entire existence would be changed with this one conversation? I clicked it.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>And that\u2019s when I learned about [rejection](https://media.giphy.com/media/a9xhxAxaqOfQs/giphy.gif). From a digital character. He wasn\u2019t gay, and my heart sunk. But his next words were something I didn\u2019t know I needed. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with who you love. You are my friend no matter what.\u201d I spent the next two hours on the floor [crying](https://m.imgur.com/a/8WgexWA), finally feeling that it was okay to be gay. I felt more comfortable than I\u2019d ever felt in my life. I vowed, if I ever got the opportunity to pay it forward, I would.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Well I\u2019m helping to pay it forward. I\u2019ve spent a lot of my time at Bungie helping to make sure Destiny is a welcoming place. I have marched in the Seattle Pride Parade. I have helped set up the Trevor Foundation and other LGBTIQA+ charities. Most recently, I helped create those wonderful Bungie Pride Pins you keep seeing on our streams. I\u2019m happy to announce that, on October 11, International Coming Out Day, we\u2019ll be releasing a Pride emblem for your Guardian if you\u2019ve purchased this pin. If you missed the chance to buy the pin back in June, mark your calendars, because we\u2019ll be restocking our supply on the Bungie Store.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Destiny and Bungie are places where we can foster community and work together, no matter your background. We at Bungie want to make sure no matter who you love, or who you are, that everyone belongs in the Tower. Or the Farm, if you\u2019re into that.\n\n\nNigel speaks true. Thanks for being excellent to each other. Any players who previously purchased the Pride Pin will be receiving codes for the emblems through email.\u00a0\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Bungie Rewards\n\nLast week, we showed off a preview of the World\u2019s First belt and some of the emblems you can earn in our upcoming pinnacle PvE activity. We weren\u2019t quite ready to show off the awesome jacket Bungie Rewards will be offering, but the design is ready for the runway.\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Raid_Jacket.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/4TwWvYX.jpg)\n\n\nAny player who beats the \u201cGarden of Salvation\u201d raid and claims their code before the weekly reset on 10/15 will be eligible to purchase the raid jacket through Bungie Rewards. We are giving you some extra time to Power up this time. We know many of you don\u2019t enjoy rushing through content, so even if you aren\u2019t ready to take on the raid before 10/15, any player who completes \u201cGarden of Salvation\u201d during Season of the Undying will be eligible to purchase a special raid T-shirt through Bungie Rewards.\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Raid_Shirt.jpg)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/UOzP0Wd.jpg)\n\n\nSo\u2026 the shirt has some spoilers on it, but we\u2019ll share out what it looks like after the raid is completed.\n\n\nThat\u2019s not all! Players can also claim a free Eris Morn papercraft mask by completing the main Shadowkeep quest by the end of Season 8. If you\u2019re already receiving Bungie newsletter emails, you\u2019ll get a direct link the next day, or you can visit [www.bungie.net/rewards](http://www.bungie.net/rewards) to redeem it. Stay tuned for more Bungie Rewards throughout the season.\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##Full Steam Ahead\n\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127469/D2_DPS_Gif_.gif)\n\n\nPlayer Support is waiting in the wings to support our next launch.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is their report.\n\n>\n>###Upcoming 24-Hour Maintenance\n>\n>This upcoming Monday, September 30, Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 will be taken offline for extended maintenance on all platforms.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>**This maintenance will last for approximately 24 hours**, starting at 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC), ending with the launch of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep on October 1. During this downtime, players will be unable to log in to Bungie.net or access Destiny API features.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>For the latest information on this maintenance as it occurs, including download availability and emergent issues, players should follow [@BungieHelp](https://twitter.com/bungiehelp) on Twitter or monitor our support feed on [help.bungie.net](https://www.bungie.net/en/help).\n>\n>###Pre-loading Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Update 2.6.0\n>\n>Right now, [all PC players can pre-load Destiny 2 on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085660/Destiny_2/), which includes pre-loading for [New Light](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/NewLight) and [Shadowkeep](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/Shadowkeep). Since New Light makes Destiny 2 accessible to everyone for free, no purchase is necessary to pre-load.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Existing console players will be able to pre-load Update 2.6.0 during the maintenance leading up to launch. The moment we confirm that downloads are available, we\u2019ll sound off from the support links provided above.\n>\n>###FOLLOW UP: Delay in Forsaken License Transfers for Migrating PC Players\n>\n>[Last week](https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48163), we discussed the likely delay of Forsaken license transfers for migrated PC players on Steam. With the announcement of our upcoming 24-hour maintenance, we hope to mitigate any possible delay in Forsaken license transfers following the launch of Shadowkeep on October 1. If any such delays occur, we\u2019ll be sure to sound off from the support links provided above.\n>\n>###PC Migration and New Characters on Steam\n>\n>Following the launch of Shadowkeep and Destiny 2 Update 2.6.0 on October 1, players who link their Steam account to their Bungie.net profile will be able to manually trigger PC Migration.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Players should be aware, however, that any new characters created on Steam before performing PC migration will be overwritten when players migrate from Battle.net. This will result in the potential loss of new characters and gear, as well as Silver, Eververse items, and Season Passes\u2014if purchased on these new characters before performing PC migration.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>To make things as simple as possible, here\u2019s the recommended order of operations for players who perform PC migration to Steam after Shadowkeep launches on October 1:\n>\n>\n>\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>\n>1.\u00a0[Link your Steam account to your existing Bungie.net profile](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/PCMove) and initiate PC Migration. Please ensure you are linking to the same Bungie.net profile associated with your Battle.net account. **Once manually triggered, PC Migration cannot be undone.**\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>2. If desired, [enable Cross Save](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave) so your preferred characters are available when you log in to Destiny 2 on Steam. PC Migration will still transfer your Battle.net characters to Steam, even if another set of characters is selected for Cross Save. This also determines which characters receive any Silver or Season Passes purchased on Steam before logging in.\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>3. On Steam, download and install [*Destiny 2*](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085660/Destiny_2/). If you have not yet downloaded Steam, [click here](https://store.steampowered.com/about/).\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>4. Log in to Destiny 2.\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>5. Your Battle.net characters, licenses, and Silver will already be migrated to your Steam account, however your Cross Saved characters will appear if Cross Save is enabled.\n\n\n\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>**IMPORTANT**: Since purchased Silver and Season Passes are applied to the first character set that players log in with after purchase, we **strongly** recommend that players enable Cross Save before logging in to Destiny 2 on Steam. This will ensure that your desired characters are receiving your Silver and Season Passes on the Steam platform. Cross Save-enabled characters will be able to bring their Season Passes with them to any platform after they have been applied.\n>\n>###REMINDER: Destiny 2 and Silver Purchases on Battle.net\n>\n>This week, we\u2019d like to remind PC players that Destiny 2 game content and Destiny 2 Silver can no longer be purchased from the Battle.net Shop.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Existing PC players can continue to play on Battle.net until Destiny 2 undergoes maintenance for Steam launch. Players should also be aware that in order for recent Silver purchases to successfully transfer to Steam, **players MUST log in to Destiny 2 on Battle.net\u00a0****before 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC) on September 30, 2019\u00a0****to claim their purchased Silver.**\n>\n>###**REMINDER: Battle.net Code Redemption for Destiny 2**\n>\n>As another reminder, **players should be aware that any Battle.net code they possess for Destiny 2 content MUST be redeemed on their Battle.net account before they perform PC Migration**. Players who have already prepared for PC Migration have until the start of Destiny 2 maintenance on **September 30** to redeem any unused Battle.net codes\u2014to have that license transfer to their Steam account.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Players who migrate to Steam after our October 1 maintenance must also ensure that their Battle.net code is redeemed before they link their Steam account. Once a Steam account is linked, their Guardians, Silver, and game licenses will be migrated from Battle.net to Steam. **This is a one-time process that cannot be repeated for new licenses**. For information on Battle.net code redemption, players should visit Blizzard\u2019s [How to Claim a Code](https://battle.net/support/article/11263) knowledgebase article.\u00a0\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>It\u2019s worth noting that all content previously included in the base Destiny 2 game, Curse of Osiris, or Warmind, will be available to all players for free through the launch of Destiny 2: New Light on October 1.\n>\n>###Steam Limited User Accounts\n>\n>Next week, Destiny 2 officially launches on Steam. Before it does, we\u2019d like to make players aware of Steam\u2019s Limited User Accounts.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>In short, any player whose account has spent less than $5.00 USD on the Steam Store will have limited access to community and social features that are commonly used for spamming, phishing, and other abuse.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>This will also apply to any Destiny 2 player new to the Steam platform who migrates from Battle.net. For more information, please see Valve\u2019s [Limited User Accounts](https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3330-iagk-7663) support article.\n>\n>###Premonition Legendary Pulse Rifle\n>\n>Following the launch of Shadowkeep next week, players will be able to view new items added to Destiny 2 using the in-game Collections. Before then, we\u2019d like to make players aware of a known issue with one particular weapon listing.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Following the launch of Shadowkeep, the Collection listing for the Premonition Legendary Pulse Rifle will state that it is \u201cfound by exploring the Moon.\u201d This weapon\u2019s specific source is actually the new dungeon, which will become available sometime after Shadowkeep\u2019s launch.\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>\n>Players who encounter other issues following the launch of New Light, Shadowkeep, and Steam PC should report them to the [#Help](https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help) forum.\n\n\n***\n\n\n\n##MOTW\n\n\n\n[Image Link](https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127469/D2_movie_of_the_week.gif)^^^[imgur](https://i.imgur.com/HQMBI5G.gif)\n\n\nAll right, let\u2019s see what we got.

Now we find ourselves in that old familiar clearing at the end of the path. This is the final weekly update that we\u2019ll have before we blast off on another adventure.</p>\n\n<p>Our new launch trailer is making the rounds. Here it is if you haven\u2019t had a chance to watch yet.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFYJTudJ540\">Video Link</a></p>\n\n<p>Today, you\u2019ll find us ticking all the boxes on the pre-flight checklist. There are some final items we want to cover before you set out to investigate the mysteries of the Moon. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find during a lengthy final scroll:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Combat Changes</li>\n<li>Progression and Economy Changes</li>\n<li>Patch Note Preview</li>\n<li>Ritual Weapons and Perk Changes</li>\n<li>Set It Straight</li>\n<li>Wear It With Pride</li>\n<li>Bungie Rewards</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start the clock.</p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Combat Changes</h2>\n\n<p>As discussed <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48072\">previously</a>, damage numbers in Destiny 2 have been a bit out of control. We\u2019re making some adjustments so the numbers shown are smaller and easier to comprehend without affecting the percentage of damage you\u2019re dealing. We\u2019re also adjusting how your Power works when you go up against enemies tougher than you. Here are some more details on what to expect.\u00a0</p>\n\n<h3>PvE Damage Numbers Display</h3>\n\n<p>Goal: To provide players with useful and legible feedback for damage dealt to enemy combatants across many years of Power progression.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Displayed damage numbers for damage dealt to non-Guardian enemy combatants are crunched</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Damage dealt is displayed using fewer digits to enhance readability of damage output</li>\n<li>Occurrences of displayed damage getting capped at 999,999 should be significantly reduced or eliminated</li>\n<li>The exponential curve used to calculate damage numbers for display is replaced with a new linear curve that is built to last for many years</li>\n<li>As players grow in Power, displayed damage numbers increase at a much more measured pace than previously</li>\n<li><strong>This is a UI update only; player damage output, whether measured as hits to kill, time to kill, or DPS, remains unchanged by this update</strong></li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>PvE Difficulty Tuning</strong></h3>\n\n<p>Goals: Widen the sweet spot where fighting higher-level combatants provides a fun, challenging, and rewarding combat experience for a more enjoyable Power climb. Also, allow players looking for even greater challenges to confront much higher-level enemies.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Combatants that are 10\u201340 levels higher take less time to kill and deal less damage</li>\n<li>Higher-level combatants continue to increase in difficulty up to 100 Power levels above the player</li>\n<li>When enemies are 100 Power levels or higher above the player, they are immune to damage</li>\n<li>Nameplate icons on higher-level combatants have been updated to reflect these changes</li>\n<li>These changes affect only higher-level combatants; the at-level or over-level experience remains unchanged</li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Progression and Economy Changes</h2>\n\n<p>Every Season brings with it some tweaks to the Power climb. Shadowkeep is going to deliver significant changes to how you grow in strength. We also want to make you aware of changes to various currencies and the <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47935\">Eververse Trading Company</a> before you set out to power up your gear.</p>\n\n<h3>Rewards Power and Progression</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>All non-powerful rewards now drop 3 to 0 points below your highest equippable Power level, up from 15 to 20 below</li>\n<li><p>Year 2 powerful reward sources have changed to Legendary rewards</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>These sources no longer have a chance to drop a random Exotic instead of the Legendary gear</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Bonus Exotics that drop from Nightfall: The Ordeal will drop at the character\u2019s highest equippable Power level</p></li>\n<li><p>Under- and over-leveling activities no longer adjust how much Power is received from the rewards</p></li>\n<li><p>Experience no longer fuels a player\u2019s character level, which has been changed to be level 50 for all characters</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Experience instead progresses the Season Pass, Seasonal Artifact mod, and Power progressions, as well as the unlocking of destinations for new characters</li>\n<li>Experience rewards have been rebalanced with the introduction of the Season Pass and Seasonal Artifact progressions</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>The Power granted from the Seasonal Artifact is additive with the Power of the player\u2019s equippable gear, but does not increase the Power of gear drops</p></li>\n<li><p>All existing gear has had its Power increased to a minimum of 750; new characters will begin Destiny 2 at Power 750 as well</p></li>\n<li><p>The Power bands for Season 8 are as follows</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Floor: 750</li>\n<li>Soft Cap: 900\n\n<ul>\n<li>All drops up to this point will be upgrades to the most powerful item in your inventory or vault</li>\n<li>Beyond this point, only powerful and pinnacle rewards will increase a player\u2019s Power</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li>Powerful Cap: 950\n\n<ul>\n<li>All non-powerful/pinnacle rewards are capped at 950</li>\n<li>Pinnacle rewards are the only way to raise Power above this point</li>\n<li>Powerful rewards are equivalent to the character\u2019s highest-equippable Power beyond this point</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li>Pinnacle Cap: 960\n\n<ul>\n<li>This is the highest Power at which gear drops; also known as the \u201chard cap\u201d</li>\n<li>The Seasonal Artifact bonus Power allows characters to attain values above this level</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Prime Engrams</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Prime Engrams now gain charges more quickly, drop more frequently, and have a higher maximum charge cap (nine charges, up from six during Year 2)</li>\n<li>The Power gains have been rebalanced for the increased frequency, providing +3 Power, down from a range of +4 to +7</li>\n<li>Players who have completed the \u201cPrime Example\u201d quest prior to Shadowkeep\u2019s release will earn charges, but those charges won\u2019t drop until the character has reached 900 Power</li>\n<li>This will help players avoid spending charges early for gains that are most beneficial during the Soft Cap to Powerful Cap range</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Bright Dust</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Bright Dust is now earned by completing Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard weekly and repeatable bounties</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>We chose to grant all of Bright Dust from ritual weekly bounties rather than spreading it out across the weekly and daily bounties so players could more easily earn Bright Dust without having to make sure they complete every single daily</li>\n<li>Players will be able to do the repeatable bounties as many times as they like</li>\n<li>Any Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard completed bounties need to be turned in before maintenance begins on 9/30 as these changes will reset them; other bounties\u2014Gunsmith, clan, Eververse, etc.\u2014can still be claimed after Oct 1</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Eververse items no longer dismantle into Bright Dust, and instead grant legendary shards and glimmer</p></li>\n<li><p>New Eververse items for Season of the Undying will become available for Bright Dust two weeks into the Season</p></li>\n<li><p>Eververse items no longer require Bright Dust to reacquire them(or re-roll perks) from Collections; instead, they cost the same materials that reward items of the same type/rarity use</p></li>\n<li><p>Fireteam Medallions have been removed from the store, deprecated into Fizzled Fireteam Medallions, and can now be dismantled into Bright Dust to recover their purchase price (50 Bright Dust)</p></li>\n<li><p>Gleaming Boon of the Vanguard price has been lowered to 150 Bright Dust</p></li>\n<li><p>Gleaming Boon of the Crucible price has been lowered to 500 Bright Dust</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Eververse</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Season 7 Best of Year One Engram has been retired, and in its place, players can now obtain the new Season 8 Nostalgic Engram</li>\n<li>The Seasonal Milestone no longer grants a bounty; instead, it directly grants a Bright Engram</li>\n<li><p>The Season 8 Nostalgic Engram is no longer earned at level up</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Instead, the Bright Engram is now included in the free rewards of the Season Pass that are visible before level 100; it\u2019s also awarded every 5 levels after level 100</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>The Eververse storefront is now available via the Director</p></li>\n<li><p>Eververse bounties (standard and IGR versions) have been deprecated; any remaining bounty notes can be broken down into Bright Dust</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>You can still complete and turn in any outstanding Eververse bounties until they expire\u00a0</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Glimmer</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Players can now store up to 250,000 Glimmer</li>\n<li><p>Glimmer rewards from the majority of sources in the game have been rebalanced</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Most open world sources (public events, Lost Sectors, chests) have been significantly increased</li>\n<li>Passive Glimmer gain on kill has been reduced</li>\n<li>In addition to directly awarding Glimmer on kill, combatants will sometimes drop additional Glimmer chunks</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Weekly bounties award a large amount of Glimmer in addition to their other rewards</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>Spider\u2019s Exchange</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Spider welcomes new opportunities with four arms open and now deals in materials from all planets</li>\n<li><p>However, the Spider has noted changes in market value, and has adjusted his exchange rates accordingly:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Glimmer exchange now costs 10 Legendary Shards or 20 materials, and yields 10,000 Glimmer</li>\n<li>Tangled Shore daily bounties no longer award Glimmer, providing instead Etheric Spirals (in keeping with his competition)</li>\n<li>Weekly wanted bounties no longer award gear, but now provide between 3,000 and 15,000 Glimmer in addition to the Enhancement Cores currently offered</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>X\u00fbr</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>X\u00fbr\u2019s inventory pool and Fated Engram now include world-drop Exotics from Year 2</li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Patch Note Preview</h2>\n\n<p>We\u2019ll have a bunch of bullet points for you to peruse next week. Here\u2019s something to tide you over until then.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Added rally banners to Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, and Spire of Stars\u00a0</p></li>\n<li><p>\u201cThe Shattered Throne\u201d Dungeon is now available at all times instead of on a three-week cycle</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>It can also be launched and reset from the Director</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Black Armory forges are now accessible through a Director-launched playlist on EDZ</p></li>\n<li><p>Weapon mods are now treated as reusable unlocks instead of consumables; any mods you have in your inventory will be converted to unlocks</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>If the only copy of a mod you have is already in a gun, you will need to reacquire one to unlock it\u00a0</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><p>Discarding an Enhancement Core no longer deletes the entire stack</p></li>\n<li><p>Borealis and Hardlight now match the Prism modifier when changing elements on reload, rotating through Void, Arc, and Solar</p></li>\n<li><p>Fixed an issue where the Hunter\u2019s Tempest Strike melee ability couldn\u2019t be performed if the sprint button/key was set to Hold</p></li>\n<li><p>The Phoenix Protocol Hearth perk will no longer award bonus Super energy on kills and assists to Warlocks inside a Well of Radiance if they do not also have the Well of Radiance (Attunement of Grace) subclass equipped</p></li>\n<li><p>Fixed an issue where allied Golden Gun projectiles weren\u2019t going through Banner Shields</p></li>\n<li><p>Fixed an issue where the Queen\u2019s Wrath perk for the Exotic Wish-Ender Bow wasn\u2019t correctly highlighting players if their shield was depleted</p></li>\n<li><p>Players who\u2019ve obtained the Salute emote in the past can now correctly select it in their collection and assign it to their emote wheel</p></li>\n<li><p>Multiplayer (buddy) emotes will now have a visible indication of where a player can stand to interact and initiate the emote</p></li>\n<li><p>Failing the first encounter for any Black Armory forge will no longer award planetary destination materials. \u0ca0_\u0ca0</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Ritual Weapons and Perk Changes</h2>\n\n<p>In Season of the Undying, pinnacle weapons will become ritual weapons. They will no longer have special perks and will instead be curated rolls. A previous article incorrectly showed two new pinnacle weapons. The good news is you will be getting three ritual weapons for each of the ritual activities: Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit. Here\u2019s the <strong>Destiny Dev Team</strong> on why we made this difficult decision and some information on upcoming perk changes.\u00a0</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Destiny Dev Team</strong>: The decision to stop creating extremely powerful pinnacle weapons was made for a variety of reasons. The first was that the band in which \u201cpinnacle\u201d perk can exist is actually quite small, and most of them far exceeded the efficacy they should have been at. Another issue is that they cause problems in the player ecosystem, particularly in the case of the Crucible pinnacle weapons. Due to the nature of PvP and PvE, anything that works well in PvP is likely going be extremely effective in PvE as well. This forces players into the Crucible if they want the \u201cbest\u201d loadouts. Even the title of \u201cpinnacle\u201d set a variety of unrealistic expectations. Rather than being the absolute height of Legendary power, they were supposed to be interesting novelties to chase.</p>\n\n<p>These problems became more pronounced the more of them we produced. In the end, we decided to move away from pinnacle weapons. If you managed to collect them all, we hope you enjoy them!</p>\n\n<p>While we\u2019re on the subject of weapons, here are a few important notes on changes to how perks will work.</p>\n\n<h3>Reduced the effectiveness of the following perks in PvE:</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Rampage, Kill Clip, Swashbuckler, Multikill Clip, Desperado, Surrounded, Master of Arms, Onslaught</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>In general, these perks use the same damage multipliers for PvE that they did in PvP</li>\n<li>The change to Rampage does not affect the Huckleberry</li>\n<li>Onslaught and Desperado now change bullet impact values while active in PvE</li>\n<li>Surrounded no longer multiplies precision damage on top of base damage, as it was benefiting some weapon types more than others as a result</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Legendary weapons have become too powerful overall. In many cases, they even outclass Exotic Primary weapons, so we\u2019re walking them all back a bit. All the way back in original Destiny, we had a perk named Crowd Control, which was Rampage\u2019s predecessor. Crowd Control capped out at a bonus of +15% extra damage. At this point in Destiny 2, Rampage caps out at about +67%. That\u2019s a 447% increase from the original iteration. Legendary damage perks have become so powerful, they simply invalidate non-damage related perks.\u00a0</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick preview of the three ritual weapons you can earn in Season of the Undying. Because these weapons are no longer pinnacle weapons, the quest required to earn them is not as in depth as previous seasons.</p>\n\n<h3>Vanguard\u2014Edgewise</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Edgewise.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/8OoNWkJ.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<h3>Crucible\u2014Randy\u2019s Throwing Knife</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Randys_Throwing_Knife.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/PM5QsSk.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<h3>Gambit\u2014Exit Strategy</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Exit_Strategy_1.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/QCvyZEs.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Set It Straight</h2>\n\n<p>During the run up to launch, we\u2019ve been dropping videos, articles, interviews, and information all over the internets. Along the way, the fact-checkers called us out a few times. Today, we\u2019re issuing some corrections to previous transmissions.</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><p>There was a shot of Trials of the Nine armor in the launch trailer by mistake. We wanted to clear up any confusion and let players know that the Trials of the Nine set will not obtainable in Season of the Undying.</p></li>\n<li><p>We also had to revise our gameplay calendar for Season of the Undying. The menu of action is the same, but we are adjusting the timing of the Nightmare Hunts. The new schedule looks like this:</p></li>\n</ol>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Destiny_SoU_Calendar_EN.png\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/RbcJnvC.png\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Back when we were first talking about finishers and some of the mods that go with them, we talked about how one of the mods enabled you to spawn Heavy ammo for your fireteam when you executed a finisher. That was still in flux at the time, and for balance reasons we ended up making a mod that will spawn Heavy ammo for yourself and a mod that will spawn Special ammo for your fireteam.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Wear It With Pride</h2>\n\n<p>At Bungie, our mission is to build worlds the inspire friendship. Our games become places where people\u2014all kinds of people\u2014can gather to share meaningful experiences. One of the most important aspects of friendship is acceptance. Earlier this year, we took to the streets as part of the Seattle Pride Parade. We also offered up a Pride Pin via the Bungie Store that was rumored to have an emblem that would come with it. The rumors are true, and we\u2019ve chosen International Coming Out Day as the advent to deploy the in-game expression of acceptance.\u00a0</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Pride.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/58LI4EX.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<p>For the details, along with a personal story to capture the spirit of that day, here is one of our own\u2026</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hi Y\u2019all,</p>\n\n<p>My name\u2019s Nigel. You may know me from things like the <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/videos/418163901?t=00h12m01s\">Shattered Throne Ride Along</a>, or this <a href=\"https://youtu.be/UDpZbFdJ14Y?t=52\">wonderful fan video</a> made during our St. Jude\u2019s charity stream. This is my first TWAB post and I\u2019m a little nervous, so I\u2019m going to use one of my favorite TV shows, Golden Girls, as a crutch.</p>\n\n<p>Picture it. Tempe, Arizona 2009.\u00a0 A sophomore in college. At this point in my life, I\u2019d never really had a girlfriend or really found myself attracted to a woman. I refused to believe I was gay. Having seen so many coming-out stories go poorly, with family and friends abandoning people they loved, I didn\u2019t want that for myself. So I ignored it by playing video games.</p>\n\n<p>Dragon Age: Origins had just released, and my twin brother had been bugging me for a good week to buy it and play it. Quickly I found myself wrapped in magic and steel for an untold, but probably perfectly healthy, amount of time. During this time, I found myself conversing with one of the male party members, simply trying to raise his approval.</p>\n\n<p>That\u2019s when it appeared. The option to flirt with this character. I was as the kids say, \u201c<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcMrh0MnCxw\">shooketh</a>.\u201d I sat for what must have been twenty minutes before deciding to click on it. He flirted back. My heart skipped. I was a ball of nerves and anxiety as the conversation continued with another chance to confess romantic feelings to the character. I thought I was going to vomit all over a simple choice in a video game. I debated with myself, what did it mean that I wanted to flirt with this character? Why did I suddenly feel like my entire existence would be changed with this one conversation? I clicked it.</p>\n\n<p>And that\u2019s when I learned about <a href=\"https://media.giphy.com/media/a9xhxAxaqOfQs/giphy.gif\">rejection</a>. From a digital character. He wasn\u2019t gay, and my heart sunk. But his next words were something I didn\u2019t know I needed. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with who you love. You are my friend no matter what.\u201d I spent the next two hours on the floor <a href=\"https://m.imgur.com/a/8WgexWA\">crying</a>, finally feeling that it was okay to be gay. I felt more comfortable than I\u2019d ever felt in my life. I vowed, if I ever got the opportunity to pay it forward, I would.</p>\n\n<p>Well I\u2019m helping to pay it forward. I\u2019ve spent a lot of my time at Bungie helping to make sure Destiny is a welcoming place. I have marched in the Seattle Pride Parade. I have helped set up the Trevor Foundation and other LGBTIQA+ charities. Most recently, I helped create those wonderful Bungie Pride Pins you keep seeing on our streams. I\u2019m happy to announce that, on October 11, International Coming Out Day, we\u2019ll be releasing a Pride emblem for your Guardian if you\u2019ve purchased this pin. If you missed the chance to buy the pin back in June, mark your calendars, because we\u2019ll be restocking our supply on the Bungie Store.</p>\n\n<p>Destiny and Bungie are places where we can foster community and work together, no matter your background. We at Bungie want to make sure no matter who you love, or who you are, that everyone belongs in the Tower. Or the Farm, if you\u2019re into that.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Nigel speaks true. Thanks for being excellent to each other. Any players who previously purchased the Pride Pin will be receiving codes for the emblems through email.\u00a0</p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Bungie Rewards</h2>\n\n<p>Last week, we showed off a preview of the World\u2019s First belt and some of the emblems you can earn in our upcoming pinnacle PvE activity. We weren\u2019t quite ready to show off the awesome jacket Bungie Rewards will be offering, but the design is ready for the runway.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Raid_Jacket.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/4TwWvYX.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<p>Any player who beats the \u201cGarden of Salvation\u201d raid and claims their code before the weekly reset on 10/15 will be eligible to purchase the raid jacket through Bungie Rewards. We are giving you some extra time to Power up this time. We know many of you don\u2019t enjoy rushing through content, so even if you aren\u2019t ready to take on the raid before 10/15, any player who completes \u201cGarden of Salvation\u201d during Season of the Undying will be eligible to purchase a special raid T-shirt through Bungie Rewards.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127658/Raid_Shirt.jpg\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/UOzP0Wd.jpg\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<p>So\u2026 the shirt has some spoilers on it, but we\u2019ll share out what it looks like after the raid is completed.</p>\n\n<p>That\u2019s not all!

Stay tuned for more Bungie Rewards throughout the season.</p>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>Full Steam Ahead</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127469/D2_DPS_Gif_.gif\">Image Link</a></p>\n\n<p>Player Support is waiting in the wings to support our next launch.\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>This is their report.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Upcoming 24-Hour Maintenance</h3>\n\n<p>This upcoming Monday, September 30, Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 will be taken offline for extended maintenance on all platforms.</p>\n\n<p><strong>This maintenance will last for approximately 24 hours</strong>, starting at 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC), ending with the launch of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep on October 1. During this downtime, players will be unable to log in to Bungie.net or access Destiny API features.</p>\n\n<p>For the latest information on this maintenance as it occurs, including download availability and emergent issues, players should follow <a href=\"https://twitter.com/bungiehelp\">@BungieHelp</a> on Twitter or monitor our support feed on <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/en/help\">help.bungie.net</a>.</p>\n\n<h3>Pre-loading Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Update 2.6.0</h3>\n\n<p>Right now, <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085660/Destiny_2/\">all PC players can pre-load Destiny 2 on Steam</a>, which includes pre-loading for <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/NewLight\">New Light</a> and <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/Shadowkeep\">Shadowkeep</a>. Since New Light makes Destiny 2 accessible to everyone for free, no purchase is necessary to pre-load.</p>\n\n<p>Existing console players will be able to pre-load Update 2.6.0 during the maintenance leading up to launch. The moment we confirm that downloads are available, we\u2019ll sound off from the support links provided above.</p>\n\n<h3>FOLLOW UP: Delay in Forsaken License Transfers for Migrating PC Players</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48163\">Last week</a>, we discussed the likely delay of Forsaken license transfers for migrated PC players on Steam. With the announcement of our upcoming 24-hour maintenance, we hope to mitigate any possible delay in Forsaken license transfers following the launch of Shadowkeep on October 1. If any such delays occur, we\u2019ll be sure to sound off from the support links provided above.</p>\n\n<h3>PC Migration and New Characters on Steam</h3>\n\n<p>Following the launch of Shadowkeep and Destiny 2 Update 2.6.0 on October 1, players who link their Steam account to their Bungie.net profile will be able to manually trigger PC Migration.</p>\n\n<p>Players should be aware, however, that any new characters created on Steam before performing PC migration will be overwritten when players migrate from Battle.net. This will result in the potential loss of new characters and gear, as well as Silver, Eververse items, and Season Passes\u2014if purchased on these new characters before performing PC migration.</p>\n\n<p>To make things as simple as possible, here\u2019s the recommended order of operations for players who perform PC migration to Steam after Shadowkeep launches on October 1:</p>\n\n<p>1.\u00a0<a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/7/en/PCMove\">Link your Steam account to your existing Bungie.net profile</a> and initiate PC Migration. Please ensure you are linking to the same Bungie.net profile associated with your Battle.net account. <strong>Once manually triggered, PC Migration cannot be undone.</strong></p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><p>If desired, <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave\">enable Cross Save</a> so your preferred characters are available when you log in to Destiny 2 on Steam. PC Migration will still transfer your Battle.net characters to Steam, even if another set of characters is selected for Cross Save. This also determines which characters receive any Silver or Season Passes purchased on Steam before logging in.</p></li>\n<li><p>On Steam, download and install <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085660/Destiny_2/\"><em>Destiny 2</em></a>. If you have not yet downloaded Steam, <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/about/\">click here</a>.</p></li>\n<li><p>Log in to Destiny 2.</p></li>\n<li><p>Your Battle.net characters, licenses, and Silver will already be migrated to your Steam account, however your Cross Saved characters will appear if Cross Save is enabled.</p></li>\n</ol>\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Since purchased Silver and Season Passes are applied to the first character set that players log in with after purchase, we <strong>strongly</strong> recommend that players enable Cross Save before logging in to Destiny 2 on Steam. This will ensure that your desired characters are receiving your Silver and Season Passes on the Steam platform. Cross Save-enabled characters will be able to bring their Season Passes with them to any platform after they have been applied.</p>\n\n<h3>REMINDER: Destiny 2 and Silver Purchases on Battle.net</h3>\n\n<p>This week, we\u2019d like to remind PC players that Destiny 2 game content and Destiny 2 Silver can no longer be purchased from the Battle.net Shop.</p>\n\n<p>Existing PC players can continue to play on Battle.net until Destiny 2 undergoes maintenance for Steam launch. Players should also be aware that in order for recent Silver purchases to successfully transfer to Steam, <strong>players MUST log in to Destiny 2 on Battle.net\u00a0</strong><strong>before 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC) on September 30, 2019\u00a0</strong><strong>to claim their purchased Silver.</strong></p>\n\n<h3><strong>REMINDER: Battle.net Code Redemption for Destiny 2</strong></h3>\n\n<p>As another reminder, <strong>players should be aware that any Battle.net code they possess for Destiny 2 content MUST be redeemed on their Battle.net account before they perform PC Migration</strong>. Players who have already prepared for PC Migration have until the start of Destiny 2 maintenance on <strong>September 30</strong> to redeem any unused Battle.net codes\u2014to have that license transfer to their Steam account.</p>\n\n<p>Players who migrate to Steam after our October 1 maintenance must also ensure that their Battle.net code is redeemed before they link their Steam account. Once a Steam account is linked, their Guardians, Silver, and game licenses will be migrated from Battle.net to Steam. <strong>This is a one-time process that cannot be repeated for new licenses</strong>. For information on Battle.net code redemption, players should visit Blizzard\u2019s <a href=\"https://battle.net/support/article/11263\">How to Claim a Code</a> knowledgebase article.\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that all content previously included in the base Destiny 2 game, Curse of Osiris, or Warmind, will be available to all players for free through the launch of Destiny 2: New Light on October 1.</p>\n\n<h3>Steam Limited User Accounts</h3>\n\n<p>Next week, Destiny 2 officially launches on Steam. Before it does, we\u2019d like to make players aware of Steam\u2019s Limited User Accounts.</p>\n\n<p>In short, any player whose account has spent less than $5.00 USD on the Steam Store will have limited access to community and social features that are commonly used for spamming, phishing, and other abuse.</p>\n\n<p>This will also apply to any Destiny 2 player new to the Steam platform who migrates from Battle.net. For more information, please see Valve\u2019s <a href=\"https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3330-iagk-7663\">Limited User Accounts</a> support article.</p>\n\n<h3>Premonition Legendary Pulse Rifle</h3>\n\n<p>Following the launch of Shadowkeep next week, players will be able to view new items added to Destiny 2 using the in-game Collections. Before then, we\u2019d like to make players aware of a known issue with one particular weapon listing.</p>\n\n<p>Following the launch of Shadowkeep, the Collection listing for the Premonition Legendary Pulse Rifle will state that it is \u201cfound by exploring the Moon.\u201d This weapon\u2019s specific source is actually the new dungeon, which will become available sometime after Shadowkeep\u2019s launch.</p>\n\n<p>Players who encounter other issues following the launch of New Light, Shadowkeep, and Steam PC should report them to the <a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help\">#Help</a> forum.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<hr/>\n\n<h2>MOTW</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/127/127469/D2_movie_of_the_week.gif\">Image Link</a><sup><sup><sup><a href=\"https://i.imgur.com/HQMBI5G.gif\">imgur</a></sup></sup></sup></p>\n\n<p>All right, let\u2019s see what we got.
