    When these narrative-driven extreme-valuation names reverse, it is sudden and brutal. I've seen it too many times, and been in the midst of the corpses and flaming wreckage. That being said, I fully expect the stock to go parabolic now that I'm out.

    Closed out my NVDA position. Being in a crowded trade at all-time highs because of AI hype makes my hooves twitchy.

    The Whale

    Oscar bait. Aronofsky and Brendan Fraser's return is compelling. Could be great.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Rogue Trader is one of the best RPG settings I've come across. You're the captain of a merchant vessel starting with a lowly frigate, and eventually making your way up to owning a grand cruiser, while exploring uncharted reaches of space. The fact that you're somewhat outside the bounds of...

    I have to admire it. They lured almost everyone in with inflation and FOMO before dropping the hammer on them. S rank execution.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    FromSoft storytelling is on another level. I recently played Octopath Traveler, and the meandering wordy endless dialogue to convey their afterschool special moralizing made me realize how much I dislike most JRPG stories. My favorite story of all time might be Hyperlight Drifter, because they...

    The market taking off from here and everyone congratulating each other for making it through feels too easy. Tons of new traders over the past 2 years that have yet to experience the agony of a choppy market designed to shake them out. I have a feeling that we have to retest the lows.

    You have to think about the amount of money that it takes to move AAPL. Significantly more than some meme traders have.

    Weak hands are skittish as hell right now and looking for any reason to sell. +20% year over year growth for a 2 trillion cap company. Are you kidding me?

    I allocated into some indexes just now. Didn't want to try to pick names. There's a lot of air pocket risk like NFLX next week.

    One of my favorite theories for correction bottoms is that they happen when the funds start having to sell their darling stocks. Their AAPLs and GOOGLs. They first sell their trash, but when they have to resort to their core positions, it signals capitulation.

    This is pretty true. Famously Isaac Newton blew up trading stocks. Really smart people can get caught up in loops of rationalization. The market doesn't give it a shit.

    NVDA is looking real interesting here. I expect chip shortages to 2023. Is it time to buy PYPL yet?

    Cowboy Bebop

    Saw the first two episodes and am having fun with it. The faithfulness to the look of the anime makes it surreal at times, like cosplay characters running around a sci-fi set. The main 3 leads of Spike, Jet, and Faye are solid, and work well together imo. A lot of artistic license taken by...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    I don't think Furor liked the guy. I think he just liked the association of fuhrer with absolute leader. It's like someone calling themselves TheRipper. It doesn't mean they idolize Jack The Ripper. Nothing one way or the other can be proven unless the man himself is here, and I'd love for...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Well, he's never actually told me personally that's what he was naming himself after, so I guess it could just be a coincidence, the same way Suineg being genius spelled backwards could be totally unintended. Let me ask you the same thing though. Knowing what you do about Furor, do you really...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    If Furor is a reference to Fuhrer, and Fuhrer is a reference to Hitler. Furor is a reference to Hitler. Transitive property. It would be like if I called my character Mine Camphor. It would be a Hitler reference if I intended it to sound like Mein Kampf.

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Fuhrer is a Hitler reference. When people in America say Fuhrer, they're making an association with Hitler. I'm not sure where the confusion is.

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Whoah. You're assuming an awful lot here, and blowing thing out of proportion. I don't think Furor is a nazi sympathizer. And I don't think he was trying to make a statement or get a rise out of people either if that's what you're asking. I do think Alex chose the name because it sounds...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    To take up the mantle of power and fulfil his destiny. Really though, I don't know what people were expecting. His name is a Hitler reference. "Planedefiler" is also suggestive. Personally, I'm impressed by how he turned Blizzard into his personal dojo. It's obvious that he had a cult of...

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    They really went all in. How many black supporting characters does it take to equal 2 main white leads? All of them it seemed like. It also looked like every other race had somehow vanished. That's what they call progress I guess.

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    Little of it makes sense. The worst part for me is if these aliens destroyed all the world's militaries even with technology 30 years ahead of our time, how is sending a bunch of gimps with ancient weaponry a few thousand at a time going to make any difference?

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    Required reading. Well, the first half anyway. Loved the main character's perspective. It's like some psychopath's version of stoicism. Perfect for soldiering.
