One of the things I find endearing about Lewis is that 1/10th of the time he just doesn't finish a thought or sentence. He just, goes on. "It's like, you know, when you..., and so, so I was doing this thing."
A good film in a language most of the world understands is less likely to remain niche than one which needs to jump the language barrier. As for this idea of giving Pyrion examples, they'll either be good enough to have wide appeal, thus they don't count, or they'll be bad enough to reinforce his preconceptions about British culture. There's no winning in this scenario, and that's by design.
1:00 - Lewis " I know nothing about shares and stock markets" 9:00 - Lewis "I will now lecture you on the intricacies of the stock market long and short positions, explain market CAP to you, and explain what the perfect portfolio is ."
@@pyrionflax you keep moving the goal post to prove your point. British movies work in the us, doesn't mean they aren't made for just the British audience.
Uk films: Dead Mens Shoes, This is England, Four Lions, 24 hour party people, Human Traffic, Cornetto Trillogy, 28 days later, Layer Cake, Lock Stock, Snatch, mean machine,football factory, green street, lots others am sure
I'm not from the UK and I've seen all of these, including Waking Ned Devine that Sips was talking about (I remember it being really funny). I mean, since the movies are in English they will obviously be watched all over the world.
The most quintessential British film I can think of, that Americans wouldn't understand, is probably 'I, Daniel Blake', Early man, Babylon and maybe His house. Also if you haven't seen Babylon its on UK Netflix; its fucking incredible! Would thoroughly recommend.
Options are not necessarily sold by banks, investors can sell (write) option contracts too. The owner of the option contract has the right (not the obligation) to buy X of the underlying (could be a stock like GameStop or an index) for a specific 'strike' price (specified in the contract). The owner is allowed to exercise this right before or at the expiration of the contract. The amount of the underlying, X, is usually 100, this is where the leverage/'multiplier' comes from. Option market makers who write lots of options will also have to hedge their risk which probably resulted in even more upwards pressure on GameStop stock price.
Amazing episode this week guys, I'm a fan of the games like Factorio and Satisfactory and you had some really good insights! I loved the deconstruction of fun and it was really engaging.
I'm French I've got no idea what pflax is talking about 😂 there's been what 4 or 5 good French film sens the 2000 and they've all been remade by Hollywood and failed ^^
They're making a big assumption that French films are made exclusively for the French. I'm sure many big French films and actors are also famous in Belgium, Switzerland, and even francophone countries outside of Europe like Senegal and French Guiana
He knows nothing about economics: "if someone's making money someone else is losing money"... But sonehow he got half the things right, which is impressive for Lewis.
Their online sales for 2020 were up 250% compared to 2019. A former lead for Nintendo joined the company and they're working with the online pet food company. There was real reasons to invest in gamestop
The overwatch system Pyrion mentioned is pretty much the Tribunal that League of Legends used to have. Apparently it worked well when the game was (relatively) small, but as it grew the system became less reliable until it had to be completely scrapped.
Previous titles before Cities Skylines was all about traffic management, so who is to say they didn't plan on making traffic management the core loop? It's the part I enjoy the most to be honest, making new interchanges and so on. Another great game which Tom played was "Freeways" a tiny game where you MS Paint style make interchanges.
I've been waiting for an FPS to implement gun jamming properly since forever. It's much less RNG than you might think, and there's almost always preventative measures (visually inspecting a mag before loading it into your weapon) it should be a compromise between going fast, risking a jam because you need that new mag loaded RIGHT TF NOW, and making sure you reload in safety, following the correct manual of arms for whichever weapon you happen to be reloading.
No offense but literally no one wants this apart from a very small amount of people. Make an indie game with it as a feature. Triple A devs will not make it a priority
If you enjoy Factorio and Satisfactory, another game to look at it is Dyson Sphere Program. It is at its core like factorio, however it is much easier to get into and you dont need to earn a masters degree to finish the game.
British films - Cornetto trilogy, inbetweeners, four lions, lock stock and two smoking barrels, east is east, kes, the firm. I don't know about recently specifically, I'm wary of the fact that these films go from the middle of last century onwards. Language is definitely a reason why British films are popular in the US, whereas French films are not. Ithink there's also the issue of our tv networks don't want to invest in film when they can have viewers returning weekly for a serial drama.
I'd also throw in This Is England to the list of films, never hear about many fans of it from other countries, but near enough everyone I've met has seen it, granted im from Nottingham where it was filmed but still
23:00 Dyson Sphere program, satisfactory, factorio, Factory town, games like them are amazing. They are time consuming and addictive like nothing else. Though Pyrions analogy of them isn't quite right. I hate cleaning, and 'order' is probably the last thing I have in my life or on my list of needs. People who like factory building games either usually have a love for mathematical puzzels, or they find creating the perfect efficiency in an automated system satisfying. If my cleaning would be automated and done for me by "input that 'thing' here" and I could tweak it to cut down in cost/time/ energy and make it efficient, then yes, I'd probably love it. I know it's a niche genre, maybe nerdy and that not many people love it, but the reviews on the previously mentioned games are incredibly positive and numerous because they scratch that special itch like NOTHING else does.
Another thing to know about death row is that unless you're in like the Bible belt, it's more of an "honorific" sentence. The cost to kill someone is so high that it's better just constantly put off the execution and just keep them there for life. In my state of Pennsylvania we have numerous death row inmates, and more as the years go on, but we haven't executed anybody since the 80s.
I don't understand pflax's gripes about the british film industry. If it's the same damn language of course they're going to export it/sell it where they can. It's like saying disney is only making marvel films for the UK. I took a quick google search and came across this: mashable.com/article/best-british-movies-2020/ As an american, I had only heard of 3 of these films and had only watched one. (Mostly because the other two don't appeal to me as they are british period pieces...)
Couple of points: - Gamestop still had a couple of years of making money (~30% of games are still physical purchases) - Gamestop had large stock purchase by e-retailer millionaire who had ideas of how to turn it around - MOST IMPORTANTLY the hedge funds shorted (borrowed) 140% of the stock available! - This is why the price went up. Because hedge funds HAD to try to buy more stock than actually exists. - This creates a feedback loop where people buy the stock because they know they can name their price to the hedge funds.
The bit that confuses me the most about Pyrions comment about British films made for British people is kind of why it's even an issue. There are films funded by british production companies and a cast full of british people but you want to know which of those films are looking to activley limit who would want to watch the film? The fact that another country could enjoy such a film doesn't mean that it wasn't already Britain centric. It's like saying "What happened to British car making industry? Why don't they make cars specifically to work in Britain only."
In Fabric is a good example of a contemporary British independent film, the entire mood of the film seems fairly impenetrable to a non-British audience
Hot Fuzz, The Inbetweeners Movie, Anuvahood, Attack the Block, Shaun of the Dead, This Is England, Trainspotting, Four Lions, Brothers Grimsby, The Full Monty, Quadrophenia, Alan Partridge, tonnes and tonnes and tonnes. Also just because a movie is liked in other places doesn't make it any less British does it? I'm sure French movies aren't as popular across the world because French isn't as much of a commonly spoken language as English...
Sips is such a great example of privilege. I don't mean that as an insult. It's true of all of us to an extent. There are absolutely important things that Sips cares about, including things that don't harm him. It's not like he's a vegetarian because he thinks he might be eaten next. He's a pretty good guy. And that's exactly my point. His explanation of not caring about Wall Street is an attitude we all have to take with certain things, because there are only so many things we can give our attention to. I put effort into staying informed about certain things, but I don't have infinite capacity to be involved in everything I care about. And there are plenty of things that I brush off the way Sips brushed off Wall Street--not because I don't think they deserve my attention, but because my attention is already directed toward so many other things. Of course, privilege also covers advantages like a lack of racial discrimination, being able-bodied, etc. Sips' views on Wall Street don't really cover that. But he has (and I have) the advantage of being able to choose not to worry so much about Wall Street, and that's a pretty nice advantage by itself.
With respect for the British film industry, it's basically the minor leagues money-wise compared to Hollywood. If you're a talented British actor or director or screenwriter, you want American money because you'll get millions more than if you tried to focus exclusively on the UK (and plus plenty of American studios love being part of British period pieces and plenty of contemporary British set films are wholly palatable to American audiences). For the French, it's a whole other language. Sure, American blockbusters get subbed and dubbed, but there will always be a demand for an actual native language film industry in non-English speaking countries, which by their very nature wouldn't have the same international draw as English-speaking films. UK and Ireland and Canada and New Zealand and Australia all speak English and there is a very obvious place with loads more entertainment dollars available. So, if you want a British or Australian or whatever film, there's really no reason to try to stay in territory when the avenues for success are much higher cooperating with Hollywood. And same goes for TV. Something's popular in the UK? Great! Let's make an American version with a higher budget and ten times the number of episodes. Meanwhile, if there's a really good high budget American show, it just airs in the UK as BBC can't remotely match that production quality (note: not saying quality of content necessarily) over the span of dozens to hundreds of episodes. Much like Hollywood, the American TV industry is just staggeringly massive compared to the UK's.
I often feel like the quantity of episodes in American television is off putting. I would rather watch 2 seasons of high quality television with 6 episodes a season rather than 25 episodes a season where the intent is clearly to advertise as much as possible. Stuff like HBO is a bit different admittedly. I feel like 10-12 episodes a season is not a bad middle ground.
Imagine a car dealer sells you a car. But you don't actually get a car, you just have an "electronic" car. Which they have electronically copied thousands of times and sold to other people. That is what brokers and hedge funds did with GameStop. When you eventually decide to "claim" your car, along with the thousands of other people who bought the same car as you, suddenly the price shoots up because the supply didn't actually exist. It was made up. That is a laymens explanation of short selling phantom shares. Brokers/Hedgefunds do this to many stocks. Their plan is that they do this, grind the company value all the way down to nothing to the point where they go bankrupt. When a company goes bankrupt, all those "cars" they sold dissapear and never have to be paid out. They can also do this by "borrowing" shares like Pyrion explains in the video. The end result is the same.
It just doesn't really make sense to only market your film for Britain and Britain only, as Sips said the language barrier exists, if a film is made in French of course France is gonna be a huge market, however an English film has America as a market so why wouldn't we try to get garner that audience.
Untranslatable English films... seriously Pyrion? "The Bed Sitting Room" (1969) and "ZARDOZ" (1974) are two films that come to mind. They absolutely *drip* English untranslatability... Right down to Sean Connery's Fu Man Chu mustache and loin cloth. Somehow.
The only argument for cheating I've found was ok was from Pat from SBF. He was saying how someone would buy cheats for their games because they paid for the game so they deserve to enjoy it and they can't enjoy it unless they win therefor they cheat to win so they enjoy the game. A dick move but I can see where they're coming from even if it's throwing everyone elses enjoyment under the bus.
I don’t view that as a valid reason to cheat because you’re ruining the experience for everyone else, like why would I wanna pay money if I know I never have a chance of winning unless I also cheat
@@livid_spider Less of a valid reason more of one I can understand. If you don’t have fun unless you win then cheating would mean your always having fun. I agree tho that killing everyone else’s fun is pretty selfish but this is cheaters we’re talking about.
@@zorgalop GME is a special situation, and I'm one of the degenerates holding my handful of GME to bleed interest from shorts, not to make money. A lot of those still holding GME are like me, almost just holding it like a collectable or momento rather than a normal stock. GOOGL is up 7% today, and ethereum and bitcoin are rocketing. I'm way up in the markets today and excited for tomorrow.
Has lewis never been to gamestop . com. They have an online presence and sell games/systems new/used. It's a drop in the bucket compared to Amazon, but it does exist lol.
So let my backlog of triforce get to almost a year. But for a British film that doesn't translate don't you have a British version of a film like the mighty ducks but instead of hockey it's Cricket or something?
When you purchase stocks with the intent to change the price to be inaccurate of the business value, it is market manipulation and therefore illegal. That being said, where a firm will talk to the media about shorts is also market manipulation. So its illegal both ways and the SEC isn't going to be able to call any of these due to it being heavily under funded
No, that's a complete hypothetical. I'm sure some people are genuinely trying to invest and make a profit, but ignorance can't really be helped. The majority of people posting about it are saying they know full well it's not an investment, but don't care because for every dollar they burn, the hedge funds burn a thousand. I'm retarded, this is not financial advice, I'm not even sure they're right, but I don't care either. DIAMOND HANDS WAAAAAAAAGH

It just doesn't really make sense to only market your film for Britain and Britain only, as Sips said the language barrier exists, if a film is made in French of course France is gonna be a huge market, however an English film has America as a market so why wouldn't we try to get garner that audience.
The fact that Lewis don't understand that this recession is worse than 2008 is worrying. I don't know if most people do understand that yet
Shane Meadows makes British movies like Flax is describing
I got a couple myself before it blew up
Untranslatable English films... seriously Pyrion? "The Bed Sitting Room" (1969) and "ZARDOZ" (1974) are two films that come to mind.
They absolutely *drip* English untranslatability... Right down to Sean Connery's Fu Man Chu mustache and loin cloth. Somehow.
DIAMOND HANDS
Quadrophenia is pretty flippin British
Any guy richie film. The inbetweeners films and the festival. Things like layercake and rock n rolla
The only argument for cheating I've found was ok was from Pat from SBF. He was saying how someone would buy cheats for their games because they paid for the game so they deserve to enjoy it and they can't enjoy it unless they win therefor they cheat to win so they enjoy the game. A dick move but I can see where they're coming from even if it's throwing everyone elses enjoyment under the bus.
I don’t view that as a valid reason to cheat because you’re ruining the experience for everyone else, like why would I wanna pay money if I know I never have a chance of winning unless I also cheat
@@livid_spider Less of a valid reason more of one I can understand. If you don’t have fun unless you win then cheating would mean your always having fun. I agree tho that killing everyone else’s fun is pretty selfish but this is cheaters we’re talking about.
@@blade6309 I mean cheating isn’t winning there’s no skill in it that’s like fishing with dynamite
@@livid_spider What? I mean winning a game like apex or csgo not in life lol
@@blade6309 I know what you mean I was just saying what’s the point in winning if there’s no possibility of losing
Shaun of the dead is 100% a british movie, no one outside of the uk has watched it
I lost 700 pounds on gamestop...i'm retarded
Hold
Yeah I haven't lost a penny yet because I'm still holding
Sell
@@zorgalop GME is a special situation, and I'm one of the degenerates holding my handful of GME to bleed interest from shorts, not to make money. A lot of those still holding GME are like me, almost just holding it like a collectable or momento rather than a normal stock. GOOGL is up 7% today, and ethereum and bitcoin are rocketing. I'm way up in the markets today and excited for tomorrow.
@@darlantro respect man, you have more balls than me
Has lewis never been to gamestop . com. They have an online presence and sell games/systems new/used. It's a drop in the bucket compared to Amazon, but it does exist lol.
I mean with spiff, he just exploits the broken mechanics in the game, it isn't the same as hacks, since hacks are just simple GOD MODE
So let my backlog of triforce get to almost a year.
But for a British film that doesn't translate don't you have a British version of a film like the mighty ducks but instead of hockey it's Cricket or something?
big bois did get hurt and they made it 'illegal' because of stock manipulation lol
Most hackers and cheaters steal accounts from paying players.
Paddington
Americans liking British movies doesnt make that movie less British.
There's a lot of memers in csgo that hack. Hvh is about having superior coding or having access to people who have it
It's not that serious
LETS FUCKING GO
alan partridge alpha papa
Canada is too British to not get UK, I would assume US would be the same.
The worst part about it is the fact they shorted more than 100% of the stock in existence, fucking wasters man.
When you purchase stocks with the intent to change the price to be inaccurate of the business value, it is market manipulation and therefore illegal. That being said, where a firm will talk to the media about shorts is also market manipulation. So its illegal both ways and the SEC isn't going to be able to call any of these due to it being heavily under funded
Buy AMC while it's cheap and hold!

Louis has no idea what derivatives are lol
I understand the position but a lot of people buying GameStop are getting fucked over by a couple people making millions
No, that's a complete hypothetical. I'm sure some people are genuinely trying to invest and make a profit, but ignorance can't really be helped. The majority of people posting about it are saying they know full well it's not an investment, but don't care because for every dollar they burn, the hedge funds burn a thousand. I'm retarded, this is not financial advice, I'm not even sure they're right, but I don't care either. DIAMOND HANDS WAAAAAAAAGH
Simon Vercoe they're saying that but it's just cope
