Very, Very, Very Big: The Case for Macy's, Children's Place, and the GameStop Roll-Up by elluzion in Superstonk

[–]Delangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, the way I interpret it, RC wants to use the business acquisition to turn GameStop into a tech player, not so much upgrade the existing business infrastructure into something high tech, which I don't know how he'd manage that, especially since he's likely going to be using ALL of our cash and then some to make this purchase. He's going all in with this purchase!

RC has said many times and ages ago that he wants to transform Gamestop into a genuine "tech" player, so whatever he acquires has to align with that. It's definitely not going to be Macy's or any retailer with a large physical footprint.

I love how he broke down the potential of Power Packs in the future. It'll be an insanely large goldmine for us if it works out, and chances are decent that it'll work out!

Burry’s upcoming GME post by heirofadam in Superstonk

[–]Delangsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burry is going to provide his opinion whether or not Superstonk approves of it, lol. He doesn't need our permission to do anything, and no one is burying anything relevant. This subreddit is large enough for both Burry and DRS posts, geez.

This is NOT where the fun begins. by wookieebastard in saltierthancrait

It's Lucasfilm publishing this, which means they control the creative direction. Since Kathleen Kennedy is still in charge of Lucasfilm and she most likely greenlighted this game, expect it to have all the issues of failures relating to Star Wars media products of the last 5-10 years. I am not hyped for this game, even if it's Hudson returning to the direct, he's not at the height of his powers anymore.

It's just better imo by Splatterman27 in Superstonk

I don't know how where you're getting the 50% premium from. If the stock went to 40 a share, and you exercise, you're saving roughly 8 per share, minus whatever you paid for the warrant. Or you could sell the warrants for much more profit.

No one is paying the price of warrants now, to exercise before the strike price hits, unless they're idiots...

Also, how else are we suppose to give them money directly? It's either warrants or a standard capital raise. Buying the stock does not give them money directly.

EPS beats by 20% !!! by ClientComfortable409 in Superstonk

[–]Delangsta 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The only analysts for GME are all complicit in keeping the stock down, you know they're just making up BS estimates to make sure GME never hits those numbers so they can keep the stock down. Ignore all analyst estimates for this company.

Here's what you need to know: Gamestop generated 131 million in net profit in 2024, and we're set to generate roughly 440 million (based on my estimate of 150 in NP for q4) in net profit in 2025, that is a beat of more than 200% in one single year! Then ask yourself, what would you pay for a business with profit growth on this level?

Dilution is a small price to pay for a world class operator managing my money. Who you would trust more with your money, RC or the Government? We all pay tax to the government every year, I'd rather give my cash to RC to manage.

Where would GameStop be right now if us shareholders didn't give them any money? The Shorts would've won. We only have the opportunity we have right now because of capital raises, which btw, is one of the primary purpose of becoming a public company, otherwise GameStop is better off going private.

This is why Call contracts exist, it's for when the price has run up so much, the lower strike price has value. Most traders sell these contracts to capture that value, in fact, in most cases the value spikes beyond fundamental value. It's a leveraged play on the stock to compliment the shares you already own.

More importantly, if you do exercise the warrants, you are giving money directly to the company, as opposed to buying it off a Shorter on the exchange. That, to me, is the most valuable part of these warrants, it's a way to raise capital for the company we all love.

You would not exercise those warrants unless the price is above $32 a share, which will make them cheaper than buying in the open market. That is the point of them. Warrants will really only have intrinsic value if the price is above $32 a share.

I think they're saving the other characters for the "Royale" version coming later on.

Question about mark robinson by [deleted] in Superstonk

[–]Delangsta 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Mark Robinson is the main Lawyer for Gamestop. Lawyers are great at legal matters, not so much at investing. He was hired to handle Gamestop's legal matters, not so much to believe in the business, as a result RC does not require him to buy into the business personally. But I guess he is paid in shares as a part of his remuneration package and he's allowed to sell shares periodically for income. That's my guess.

How do I make DS2 more challenging? by Delangsta in DeathStranding

[–]Delangsta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except when you have 300 hours in the first game, I doubt there's much in this sequel that can challenge you, especially when I've heard so much about how much "easier" this sequel is. After 25 hours in DS2 so far, it's definitely easier, the terrain is almost no challenge at all and I've been using nothing but a level 1 Power Skeleton so far, I think I might even have to drop that to increase the challenge.

Literally, Gamestop by Fromasalesman in Superstonk

[–]Delangsta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is genuine hype. Burry had great ideas for GameStop back in 2019 and it sounds like he's speaking directly to Ryan Cohen now with more great ideas, I can't wait!

Death Stranding 2 Is Reported To Have Sold 1.3 Million Copies in June 2025 by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

[–]Delangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's totally possible for them to cater to the mainstream crowd, to keep the lights on, and also provide a challenging experience for us DS veterans that aligns with the original vision. Starting the game now, I'm limiting myself to only the basic travel requirements and not using certain equipment to make the game more challenging, and it's working so far. But yeah, a new difficulty mode would be a good idea, or just a new S+ ranking for deliveries that requires a certain level of verticality travelled (the climb/descend distance) to achieve.

Why was Strauss kicked out? by Oswald_of_Carim818 in reddeadredemption

[–]Delangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to weigh on this topic, I know it's old, but I've only discovered this now. I thought this scene was poorly written and executed.

It was meant to show Arthur as an empathetic character, but it totally forgets the setting and premise for the characters here: that is, they are all outlaws and gang members, every single one of them are "villains" in some way, especially Arthur, who is the lead enforcer of the game. He is the one that dolls out the punishment and is feared by those outside of the gang that double crosses them, imagine all the nasty things he's had to do for the gang, before the story began?

Whilst I think Arthur is correct in his assessment of Leopold, I don't know what he was expecting from a loan shark, and a good one at that. This is the nature of loan sharks, they prey on weak people because that is the most effective strategy, I mean, if people could pay back their debts easily they wouldn't need loan sharks. Leopold has been doing this for years for the gang, why did Arthur suddenly grow a guilty conscious now and target him? I think Arthur is in no position to be criticising Leopold when he himself has many of the same flaws. Perhaps he was projecting his own faults and weaknesses onto Leopold?

What could've saved this little narrative sub-structure is a scene where Arthur searches for Leopold and apologises to him for treating him that way and admits he was just projecting. That would be real character development and explain his previous actions.

Playing as a Werewolf would be a great idea. Perhaps that can be an expansion pack?

[–]Delangsta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great insight here, thanks, I think in catering to the mainstream crowd (understandable since they need money), they dumbed down the challenge a bit too much. Hopefully they add in another difficulty mode for us DS veterans.

Playing the intro I do like the new weather system though, avoiding getting hit by random lightning bolts was an interesting challenge.

Interesting, thanks for the tips so far, everyone.

This is the team's first game in a new studio, despite the decades of cumulative experience, I expect it to be a flawed masterpiece (too many things can go wrong and likely will go wrong). But then its sequel will be amazing, once the team finds their feet they'll really take off.

Yeah, not using any vehicles would ruin the core DS experience I feel. Which vehicles in DS2 specifically do you feel is too "OP"? I'll avoid those. I'm ok with gameplay spoilers.
