“Y’know I’m starting to think that CornerCornDog might be a fan of the Mario series”
Alright I’m back with another topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for quite a bit but didn’t find exactly what I wanted to say about it until recently. This will be focusing on two aspects of the Mario series that I find interesting to analyze in a versus context, and I think they will be fun to talk about and discuss. There will be a focus on the games, as well as supplemental material such as guides, booklets, trading cards, and websites. While I think there is a good argument to be made for manga like Mario-kun or KC Mario to be included as canon (especially considering the cartoon-esque approach to canon Nintendo takes for the series), I would rather focus on the video games for this post as to make sure it is as uncontroversial as possible. There may be a few pieces of evidence from the mangas, but they will never be the sole example of something, and will always be labeled as such as well (I am also not as familiar with them as I am the games, so there’s that as well). The Paper Mario series will be considered in entirety however, as it references the main series and vice versa all the time, with Paper Jam not providing any substantial evidence that Paper Mario from Paper Jam is the same character as the one in the Paper Mario games. Therefore Paper Mario will be treated as canon, as it is the answer that provides the fewest amount of inconsistencies.
(Seriously, people are generally fine with compositing for cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Tom Cat, or Popeye, but Mario, who’s canon is treated just as seriously by its creators as those cartoons, is expected to stick to a strict canon? That’s a topic for another time though)

1-ups

1-ups, specifically 1-up Mushrooms, are an item in many Mario games, typically described as being an extra life or, less often, an “extra Mario”. For a long time they have been disregarded as being canon due to being a game mechanic, similar to many other series and their extra lives. However, there have been many references or other indications of 1-up Mushrooms being a canonical item within the Marioverse. For example, Peach sends Mario letters with 1-ups in both Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2. In Super Mario Sunshine, Piantas can reward you with a 1-up mushroom. 1-up Mushrooms can also be bought at in-universe shops in Mario & Luigi (it’s even on the shop sign) as well as DDR: Mario Mix, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Super Mario Galaxy. A 1-up Mushroom appears as the emblem and trophy of the first cup of the Star Open tournament in Mario Tennis Open, and it also is used as Toadette’s emblem in Mario Kart: Double Dash. Sponsors from Mario Kart 8 have the 1-up Mushroom as part of their logo, and a shop in Coconut Mall appears to be selling 1-up Mushrooms as well.
Additionally, the afterlife of the Marioverse is seen in Super Paper Mario in the form of the Underwhere and the Overthere. It is specified that people are sent here not when they die, but when the Game Over, which is the term used in most Mario games for when the player runs out of extra lives completely. Extra lives are even mentioned by a soul in the Underwhere, who states that Mario must have no extra lives left if he’s in the Underwhere. This essentially proves that “death” in the traditional sense is just a mild inconvenience at worst as long as someone has plenty of extra lives. This is further supported by Whomp King in Super Mario Galaxy 2, whose dialogue changes depending on if you’ve faced him and died previously, with him referencing that he’s making the same speech again. It is pretty clear that 1-ups and Extra Lives are a canonical part of the universe.
Next thing to talk about is how 1-ups exactly work, as I’ve seen some disagreements on what they do. For full transparency, I will go over every appearance of 1-ups and exactly what they do in each game.

• In single-player mode of mainline games, the character is restarted at the beginning of the level with one less life, sometimes being kicked out of the level first. Super Mario 64 shows this even further, with Mario being kicked back to the hubworld before being healed back up to full, and after that happens a life is “used” essentially. Lives being used like this is also shown a little bit in the Galaxy games, with the tick marker going down after dying implying that the life is being used to make the character come back. This is also how it works in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.
• In multiplayer modes of mainline games, a life is used immediately upon death and the player is brought back after a few seconds. This is often via a bubble, though in Super Mario Bros. Wonder they just sorta spawn back in on their own.
• In the Mario & Luigi series, 1-ups are not passive. Instead they must be used by the other brother, reviving them and bringing them back up to a certain health. The use of 1-up Gloves as an accessory is the only way to make their effect passive.
  • Though the 1-up Mushroom doesn’t make an appearance in this game, the Pick Me Up item from Super Mario RPG functions much the same way.
• In the Paper Mario series, 1-ups only appear in three games. In Sticker Star, they aren’t even a revival item, instead being used as a basic healing item. This is similar to their role in Color Splash, though there they refill Paint instead of directly healing Mario).
• In Paper Mario: The Origami King however, 1-ups are passive revival items that are automatically equipped upon picking one up. Should Mario die in battle, the 1-up mushroom will instantly revive him back to full health.
  • This is identical to the function of the Life Shroom in the first three Paper Mario games, though they do not heal to full health.
• In Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, 1-ups can be selected if the player loses all of their team members in one battle, and they can continue in the level from where they were previously, notably reviving all downed party members with a single 1-up.
• In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, 1-ups are activated when the player fails a mission, allowing another chance at it. This isn’t exactly “losing a life” in the traditional sense because the character didn’t die, so they are more than likely just a game mechanic in this title.
• In some spin-offs 1-ups take on much different roles than they do everywhere else. In Mario Golf for example, they are used to increase the player’s level. In Mario Superstar Baseball, they let the batter bat once more regardless of if their ball was caught or not. These shouldn’t be counted really as they do not showcase the item’s typical purpose.

Looking at all of these, the most consistent portrayal of the 1-up is as a passive revival method, with every mainline game showing it as such, supported by games such as Origami King and Puzzle & Dragons. The only games where it isn’t a passive revival item is the Mario & Luigi series, and games where it isn’t a revival item at all. Sometimes the 1-up places characters back at the beginning of an area, or even boots them out of the area, but there are also examples of characters returning right where they were before, such as Mario Wonder and Origami King.
This will likely be down to interpretation, as most of this is game mechanics anyway, but I don’t entirely think it matters whether the character is revived exactly where they were. The revival is always shown to be nearly instantaneous, and never revives characters too far from where they were. The only time the character is sent a notable distance away is in Super Mario 64 when characters are sent out of the Paintings, which is likely due to the properties of the Painting Worlds and not the revive specifically. It should be noted that a 1-up Mushroom or Extra Life has never been used in a cutscene, so if we ever do see one, that would take the most precedent over anything else seen.
Now that we’ve established Extra Lives as canon, and that 1-ups are passive, nearly instantaneous revives, how potent are they exactly? What is the limit to their resurrection?
Well for starters, we’ve seen them revive Mario from being sliced in half, pulling his parts back together. They have been able to revive Mario from anything he’s died to in the mainline series, including being burned in lava, electrocuted, completely flattened, drowning, poison, sinking in quicksand, and getting sucked into a black hole. In Super Mario Galaxy, they are even able to revive Mario and Luigi from being disintegrated into nothing. However, their best showing comes from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, where they are able to revive characters from having their ghost form, essentially their soul (heck the Japanese name translates directly to “soul”)), being completely destroyed. This would give 1-ups the equivalent of Mid-Godly Resurrection, or being able to recover after complete physical and spiritual destruction.
It should be noted that this isn’t typical regeneration, as the character has to die for the 1-up to be used passively. This means that if a character receives a wound that is incredibly damaging but not fatal (such as losing a limb) then they won’t be able to recover passively. Of course, as shown above, 1-ups are sometimes able to be used as healing items as well, and other similar items like Life Shrooms can do the same. As such, it is possible that their healing capabilities outside of resurrection match the potency, but it is somewhat unclear. Regardless, 1-ups are an incredibly powerful revival item.
1-up Mushrooms or similar items like the 3-up Moon aren’t the only way that characters can get extra lives. The typical purpose of coins is to give the collector an extra life upon getting 100, which is referenced in nearly every description coins have across the series. Additionally, a character bouncing on eight enemies in a row without touching the ground will grant a 1-up, with each consecutive bounce also granting a 1-up, and it should be noted that there are specific challenges that the characters in-universe do for this, so it likely isn’t a game mechanic (it also should be noted that it doesn’t have to be different enemies, the same enemy over and over again will work just fine, even if they aren’t killed). The same challenges also exist for items like the Penguin Suit or Super Star defeating enemies in a row granting 1-ups. Something similar to this also happens in the Manga, giving support to it not just being a game mechanic. Finally, after Mario has collected 1000 coins, him dying will actually cause him to respawn and gain another life instead of lose it, and though the video says it's a glitch, the mechanic has been referenced in the official encyclopedia as being an actual mechanic. This only applies to Mario however.
The final thing I would like to talk about with 1-ups is who should exactly get them. While they are implied to be a common item, it would be wrong to assume everyone in the verse gets access to them. Additionally, I would like to mention exactly HOW MANY each character has access to. Death Battle have shown consistently that they max out a video game character’s arsenal when it comes to stackable items usually, so it is only fair to do the same here with 1-ups. They use characters at their peak, and anything less than the max amount of 1-ups that they’ve been shown to use would not be their peak, and would be intentionally nerfing them arbitrarily. I see no good reason why these characters shouldn’t be given the max amount of 1-ups that they’ve been shown to carry.
In Super Mario 3D World, the maximum any character can carry is 1,110 extra lives (represented by three crowns). This would apply to all the playable characters in that game, which would be Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Rosalina, as well as debatably Captain Toad since he can also carry that many lives. Most other games only allow someone to carry 99 lives at once. Super Mario Bros. Wonder would allow Daisy, Toadette, Yoshi, and Nabbit to carry up to 99 extra lives at once, and Super Mario 64 DS would let Wario carry 99 as well.
Mario and Luigi also have access to the Bottomless Gloves, gear that lets them use an item without taking the item out of their inventory. In practice, this would give a theoretical infinite amount of extra lives. I’ve seen the argument that opponents could remove them, but the gloves give no indication that they’re the cause of the infinite items, and gloves have come back with extra lives reviving Mario as well.
I would like to mention Bowser as well, as he is shown in his playable sections in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door to have an infinite amount of lives. This is likely meant to be literal, as no matter how many times you die in-game, he will always come back. It is unclear if these are meant to be the exact same as the ones seen in other games, since we don’t ever see Bowser collect a 1-up mushroom or anything like that, but assuming they are, Bowser would be able to come back to life after he dies an infinite amount of times. This would actually be consistent with Bowser coming back from seeming death before, such as blowing up as a firework or getting turned into a small star.
Bowser Jr. has shown to carry around 1-ups in his Junior Clown Car as well, though the exact number of how many is unknown.
I would also like to mention Donkey Kong. In the Donkey Kong Country and Land series, extra lives are given by balloons instead of mushrooms. These are indeed canon as they can be bought at shops, with Cranky giving thoughts on them as well. These can revive from anything in the Donkey Kong series, including being crushed, burning in lava, and even getting poofed into nothing. This would make the Life Balloons possibly Low-Godly Resurrection. It is possible that they have the same potency as the ones shown in Mario games, but nothing has shown that directly. These extra lives cannot only be obtained by collecting a balloon, but also from bouncing on eight enemies in a row, which is canon as Cranky Kong directly mentions it in dialogue. Characters in the Donkey Kong series can carry up to 99 of them, which would apply to DK, Diddy, Dixie, Kiddie, Cranky, and Funky Kong. Characters exclusive to DK64 do not get them as that game doesn’t use lives.
In summary, extra lives are canon in Mario and can be gained in multiple ways. They are a passive revival method that can resurrect someone from complete physical and spiritual destruction. Multiple characters have shown to carry them, with some carrying over a thousand at once. Many Donkey Kong characters can carry up to 99 balloons, which are passive revives that can revive from complete physical destruction, and can be gained in many ways as well.

Saves

Saving is a mechanic in many Mario games that has, at multiple points, noted to be canon. Save Blocks, items specifically used to save, have been referenced in dialogue multiple times, including most recently in the Super Mario RPG remake. Saving as an idea is also mentioned multiple times by in-universe characters. Additionally, there are entire characters that are sentient Save Blocks. Just like extra lives, the amount of times saving has been referenced in-universe indicates that it is canon.
What saving actually does for Mario is it allows him to save his “progress” and reload it if he dies. More specifically, it is described in-universe as saving all the events he has experienced so far. If he gets a game over (which is if he runs out of all his extra lives as discussed previously), it allows him to continue living at the last spot he saved at. What this means is that, essentially, saving is a form of time manipulation, rewinding time to the last spot saved after running out of lives, similar to items like the Retry Clock.
It should be noted that a “Game Over” in Mario doesn’t just occur after running out of lives. It can occur when Mario is incapacitated, such as mind control from Dimentio, cursed from a ghost, or falling into Tick Tock Clock’s pit which is stated to have no bottom, or even if Mario makes a wrong decision, such as agreeing to help Shadow Queen or not agreeing to help Merlon (it should be noted that these wrong decisions end up leading to the end of the world, and obviously not every bad decision Mario makes ends up in a Game Over, so it is likely that it is only activated by active decisions that will end up causing total destruction).
Now most times saving is brought up in-universe it is via a Save Block, which would not be standard equipment for anyone (Bowser has them inside his body, but he hasn’t shown the ability to use them while they’re in his body). However, it is stated in Super Mario RPG that, in-universe, Mario saves automatically whenever he enters a new area. Because of this, Mario should get all the benefits of Saving, and would automatically save at the start of a Death Battle. Unfortunately I was unable to find any other examples of characters saving canonically in the games, however I could be wrong so if you are aware then feel free to share them. I believe there was an example of Bowser using saves in the manga, but I wasn’t able to check this for myself. Other games obviously have saving as a part of them, but that seems to be more of “the player” saving rather than the characters in-universe saving like every other example I’ve mentioned, so I wouldn’t give saving to every character that is playable in a game with saving.
In summary, Mario has the ability to canonically save his progress so that when he dies completely, or is otherwise incapacitated, time will rewind until when he saved so that he can avoid that fate. No other character has this ability to my knowledge.

Oh and one more thing…

There’s just a couple more things I wanted to talk about.
So if you get a Game Over in Super Mario Bros Wonder, the character you’re playing as will still be shown as alive even though they died with zero extra lives remaining. I would ordinarily call this just game mechanics, but Prince Florian then gives dialogue about him giving you five more extra lives. This is kinda weird to me, since it clearly isn’t saving since there’s no time manipulation involved, and yet characters are somehow able to live and survive after a Game Over. I’m extremely hesitant to say that characters can simply revive themselves anyway, since that would mean there’s no point to extra lives, but I also don’t want to just dismiss the scene entirely since it is something that canonically happens. I’m interested to hear what other people think.
There’s something similar that happens in Super Mario 3D World’s multiplayer, where if characters run out of lives in a level, but a Game Over doesn’t occur (because the remaining character finished the level), then the characters will pop back into existence and get 5 more 1-ups. However to me I see this being more game mechanics than anything, since it is never referenced in dialogue or anything like that. I could see it being supporting evidence for the above example though, but again I’m not completely sure about that.

Okay so how would you kill Mario?

I don’t want to make it seem like I’m making Mario out to be an unkillable being who cannot be stopped, so just for fun I’ll list multiple ways to kill/beat Mario for good.

• Destruction beyond the spiritual level, as that’s the best his extra lives have showcased. Destroying his concept, the information of his being, his narrative structure, and more would all apply.
• Anything that would destroy him across all of time would be able to bypass the Saving, since there’d be no version of him in the past to rewind to. The D-Mat gun from Doctor Who is a good example of this.
• Any method of incapacitation that wouldn’t grant a Game Over. This is a little unclear as Game Overs can happen from quite a bit, but assuming that it wouldn’t work on anything it hasn’t shown to work on (and wouldn’t count as a wrong decision as that is very vague), abilities like permanent time stop, freezing him in place, sealing him away, or transmutating him would likely do the trick. Mario does resist a few of those, but assuming the hax are layered enough, he would be taken down by them.
• Any way to destroy data or information would likely be able to erase Mario’s save so that he couldn’t revive anymore.
• Resurrection Negation would prevent extra lives from being used.
• A strong enough Power Nullification should be able to prevent Mario’s abilities from kicking in. Again, Mario has a way of resisting it, but assuming it’s layered it would work.

This list is obviously not all-encompassing, this was just a couple of ways that I could think of off the top of my head. I made this because I specifically didn’t want the takeaway to be “wow this guy wanks Mario to be unbeatable”, because he obviously isn’t.

Conclusion

I already gave summaries for each part, but basically, the Mario series is cracked in terms of survivability. 1-ups are canon and can be gained in a multitude of ways, can resurrect even from complete spiritual destruction, and characters can hold up to 99, with some holding way more. Mario has the ability to canonically save whenever he enters a new area, and it automatically rewinds time to that point whenever Mario is dead or unable to fight in certain scenarios.
I have no idea how controversial this post is going to be, so this’ll be interesting. Thank you for reading this, I’ve had the idea of making this post for a couple months but irl work and personal projects kept getting in the way. I’ve been wanting to branch out more and not just be the guy who talks about Mario, but the Mario series is so fun and interesting that I can’t not keep coming back to talk about it. Huge shoutout to u/itownshend17 who helped me gather many links and sources for showing the canonicity of 1-ups and Saving.

note: I must disclose that I have no position on TSLA and this text is not a financial advice. Or else I might have trouble with 3 letters gov org. Do your own research. It is a yugioh deck advice and not a good one at that. I'm not a degenerate gambler like WSB redditor but a degenerate nontheless.
With disclamer out of the way, mixing musketeer and mekk-knight seems not too bad of a choice. Both are column based archetype that have advantage when going 2nd. The musketeer part can just normal summon a musketeer, activate something in their column, then trigger their eff, link summon max and generate a lot of advantage. Link into the vrains do help with our plan since it makes our link summon cannot be responded, ensuring max eff to go through.
Mekk-knight gives our deck a bit of muscle for the deck. Musketeer monsters are pretty small and any monster over 1800 require us to spend resource (desperado, steady hand, or cross domination) to get rid of them. Mekk-knight package gives us more option to just beef through the deck without activating any effects. Mekk-knight morning star can also helps us when we are forced to go 1st by discarding indigo eclipse and search world legacy secrets as double mosnter negate. You can also back morning star up using crooked crown to block zone in front of morning star if needed.

note: a modified slifer suship deck on the past. In hindsight obelisk might fit better with suship for these reasons:

1. both are aggresive go 2nd deck with minimal to no disruption
2. suship can stack their deck so "true name" already have synergy here. And since obelisk keeps his 4k atk points and targetting protection we can immediately put pressure on our opponent. Also the fact that we have 6 gunkan suship shari on our deck we can to some extent blind guess "true name".
3. suship and monster doll engine can swarm the field without normal summon, pretty good if you want tribute fodder for your obelisk either for tribute summon or activating his effect.

note: Purrely, the card, is still expensive (when I wrote this text), alongside several its important key card. And the fact that delicious memory got limited does not help either.
The deck is a blind 2nd deck aiming at OTK your opponent using epurrely happiness. Happiness can attack and after dmg calc, add 1 purrely quick play spell. Most of the time we will search purrely happy memory. We activate happy memory then chain happiness to attach happy memory to itself allowing it to attack again. Then on next attack, search another happy memory and halve the attack of 1 monster on the field. Do this 3 more times with the help of spright pixie and gamma burst and we might get OTK.
To summon happiness we have 2 ways to do it.

1. use the purrely happy memory to summon purrelyly from deck. Then purrelyly eff summon hapyness from deck. Giving you immediate access to 2nd attack.
2. use twin-spright engine to spam several lv2 on the field then hard summon xyz happy memory.

if we fail to otk we use happy memory as xyz material to summon expurrely noir. as meat wall. It can be our disruptive card and if not enought we can use spright smasher to banish opponent card or summon captain sargas to destroy card if you don't want to loose your lv/rank 2 monsters on the field or the more likely scenario, your expurrely noir does not have lv1 purrely as material. Zeus is obviously the better option if you have the budget.
The evil twin monsters are optional going 1st option. You can skip them if you want to make the deck even cheaper.

note: Salamangreat + bunch of handtraps, an old version of salamangreat, but cheaper. Not much else to explain. The deck can do bread and butter salamangreat combo that everyone understand. In case you don't understand it is 2 cards combo involving lady debug/foxy+spinny. Normal debug/foxy, search gazelle, link summon balelynx, balelynx search sanctuary, spinny hand eff discard target balelynx, gazelle eff special itself, gazelle dump rage/roar, activate sanctuary, xyz summon miragestallio, stallio eff summon jack jaguar, use jaguar+balelynx summon sunlightwolf, reincarnate link summon sunlight wolf again, jack jaguar gy eff shuffle sunlightwolf to special itself, wolf trigger eff add back gazelle.
The limit to gazelle still hurts quite a bit. And I add in some questionable handtrap such as tiamaton which was pretty good in MR4 (make a column using sunlightwolf, jack jaguar and roarage, then block other EMZ with tiamaton), but playing it now feels questionable at best.

note: I don't know why sam put archfiend into F-tier. It should be better. Based on the rule themselves (https://tsx1.com/pages/wheel-of-yugioh) any fiend archetype will have access to void apocalypse as foolish burial, and Dark spirit's mastery as lv8 Rota, and call of the archfiend + labrynth labyrinth as monster reborn for high level fiend. The Deck should works fine in this slower format as beater floater deck with good amount of GY recursion using trap as disruption.
You can use the void apocalypse to do some gy set up, sending empress/emperroheiresss. If you send heiress off apocalypse eff you can search call of archfiend to summon any fiend you have on GY.
Labrynth archfiend can special itself if a trap is activated (whose trap cards does not matter), and if summoned, she can search farewelcome, farewelcome can negate attack and destroy 1 card THEN set glitch or roar and if you have labrynth labyrynth on the field you can also pop another card on the field.

note: A bit of modification on the malicevorous deck back then. But now I add in some minor change in rank ups. Looking back at the list and the reprint of djinn buster, I thought to get the Number C version a look. And hooo boy what do we have here. Extra deck inspector boarder, but smaller, and only limit monster activation on the field. So it generally worse that inspector boarder. But it does not change the fact that I want to make a deck around him. So here we are.
Not much to be had here, just lv2 DARK spam. Malicevorous + spright are still our main engine. Soul scisor is our in theme shthana, we have some spright s/t as removal. Capshell and infernal prodigy is our draw power and extender basically.

note: SImilar to previous floo-control, but sadly since simorgh does not have recursion as good as floowandereeze we can't tribute our little birds as liberally. The plan is similar but now we have punishment (and malong and n'tss) and dreaming town also I just learned how fun sky battle is. Get 2 high lv simorgh (1 WIND and 1 DARK) then tribute those 2 to bounce all cards to the hand then BURN.
Geminoble knight

note: It's FIRE/WarrioGemini/Equip stuff deck. We're not gonna do isolde combo turn 1. We'll grind over several turns using ablation, and newer infernoble cards. We use gemini ablation to summon phoenix gearfried as spell negate and bring our gemini monster (that we might discard as cost) back from GY. Other good target for ablation is evocator eveque. He can bring 1 FIRE/warrior or gemini back from gy. His good targets are sublimation knight which can equip 1 monster from deck (effectively become pseudo foolish burial or emergency lv3 tuner if you equip turpan), renaud which can recover 1 equip spell or 1 FIRE warrior from gy, or oliver so we have lv4 tuner for lavalval exlord, draco berserker or black brutedrago (not included in the list but it is an option).
Bradamante is our way to equip durrendal or supervise from deck to our monster.
gemini spark can be removed if you want.

note: It's chemicritter deck. Not much we can do to make the deck works. Branded package is there as foolish burial for our lv8 chemicriter so we can bring them back using evocator effeque, fusion material for raptimus or swing of memories. We don't go to rank8 immediately since we don't have that many good rank8 for end board. Sometimes we just get meatshield and call it a day.
Neos-beat

note: Somewhat a modern take on HERO beat deck of good ol' time. Removing all the stun cards and replace them with more offensive cards such as spirit of neos, honest neos and some other stuff. It is not difficult to make some stun deck with neos as base. Expendable dai is our gemini spark at home. Spirit of neos can act as our meatshield and search protection of the element as our s/t negate. Honest and honest neos are our battle handtrap. Baldrake is your GY and ED disruption and more beatstick. Neos allius is our main normal summon and beatstick, can be searched by Emergency call, and reborned using Oversoul. All in all, this is a straightforward deck if you need to teach people how to play an effective deck.

I’m having a bit of trouble getting homebrew on my wii for mkw. Does anyone know if the letterbomb is different for mac address vs mac lan address? My wii is connected to the internet via Lan adapter so should I be using that when I input the info into the letterbomb?
Do I even need homebrew to download CTGP?
update: My wii is stuck on the letterbomb letter after i’ve clicked it, nothing else is going on.

the Sandisk/Diablo/Smart lawsuits have strengthened Netlist's patents. Especially those of the NVDIMM applications.
The big heavy old main patent is still so current that it describes the basics and can be used against Micron, U.S. Patent No. 8,301,833 ('833) "Non-Volatile Memory Module"
This product family invented by NETLIST has been established in the last few years and the share is growing more and more.
The NETLIST friendly letter of licence demand to Micron describes the following.
"Netlist has determined that these and other Micron NVDIMM products employ inventions disclosed and claimed in certain Netlist patents (including, for example, U.S. Patent No. 8,301,833*) where it is our understanding that Micron's NVDIMM products infringe on one or more claims ......*
A rate of xxx per-unit to be applied to Micron's manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, and importation of NVDIMM products.Using this NVDIMM per-unit royalty rate, Netlist is prepared to execute a license to Micron that will (1) compensate Netlist for Micron's NVDIMM infringement to date ofcertain Netlist patents as described above, and (2) provide a license to Micron for future sales of NVDIMM products for a term offive years from the effective date of the agreement. Netlist is prepared to conclude an agreement with Micron that utilizes either a running-royalty or fixed (paid over time in installments) payment structure over the license term."
**What can NETLIST expect?**Can you rememberthe presentation by Sandisk Rob Callaghan? It was made for the SNIA! Storage Networking Industry Association . Within this association, a special interest group has been formed to look at the NV market.
In 2018, they made projections for 2021 and estimated that up to 12 million units could be used.
​
in 2018 SNIA forecast 12 mill units for 2021
Netlist Comments on Standardization of NVDIMM-H at JEDEC
"The Storage Class Memory space has drawn multi-billion dollar investment from many industry memory vendors and continues to gain additional interest among the industry," said Mark Webb, Analyst at MKW Ventures. "We are forecasting this market with revenues over $900 million in 2019 and $5.1 billion by 2025."
Micron leads this market, so there could be a couple of surprises after the Claim Construction Hearing on 12 May

Hey Everyone! I am back with The Analyst Score today. I've posted about this score a couple of times on Reddit, but I've been having troubles gathering the needed data. Well, I got access to some new data, so it's back.
I love this score because in the past it has shown great, market beating returns, while holding what I'd consider some great companies. Of course, the nature of the score and the data means that I cannot backtest, so I have no idea how this will eventually perform in a bear market.

How It Works

I monitor the day-to-day changes in analyst recommendations for almost every stock. Why? Well because I wanted to know how analysts perform as a collective. The answer, it seems, is quite well.
I store all of the analyst recommendations and then once a month bundle all the changes up together, weight all the companies against each other, and give them a letter grade (A+ through F). The stocks you'll see mentioned throughout this post are A+ rated stocks. To be an A+ rated stock, a company must have only had buy recommendations by at least five "good" (according to my model) analysts.

How Has The Score Performed?

Stocks meeting the top criteria in July 2020 have returned more than 70% since then (as a basket). Stocks in the November run (my last run) have performed admirably too. All A+ rated stocks have returned 18.48%, while narrowing things down to larger firms (say over $2B) have returned 22.55%. The market (S&P 500) during the same period has returned just 3.82%. A link to the November data is below [0].
Trying out different variants, I've looked at having higher-quality analysts only, and I've looked at different sectors. Health Technology, for example had just two companies score A+ that had market caps in excess of $5B (for safety of principal). Those two companies have returned 32% and 68% since 11/24 when the score was run.
Another variant, only using stocks covered by 10 analysts is where I've settled though for a trial run in a Public trading account. There were 14 companies covered by 10 analysts in November and they have returned 22.56% since then.

What Makes Up Your Portfolio?

Today, there are 17 and I've already made the investments via Public and will continue to update here on Reddit, and on my YouTube channel.
Here are the 17 stocks that I invested in:

• Microsoft Corporation
• Enbridge Inc
• Equinix Inc
• Global Payments Inc
• HCA Healthcare Inc
• ConocoPhillips
• RingCentral Inc
• Phillips 66
• D. R. Horton Inc
• Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc
• Signature Bank
• Builders FirstSource, Inc.
• Lumentum Holdings Inc
• Maravai Lifesciences Holdings Inc
• Chart Industries, Inc.
• Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
• Immunovant Inc

Each month I will add new A+ stocks, and sell stocks that have dropped to B or below. Stock buys are for 5% of the portfolio.
The portfolio can be seen on the brokerage app Public, but I'm not certain I am allowed to link there in this subreddit.

Where Can I See The Data?

I put the A+ companies up on Google Sheets. Google Sheets are a bit fickle, especially if something happens to the company (acquired etc.), but they work for quickly conveying the information.
Above, I promised the end of November / December data and that can be found here
[0] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OwlopOmSpdul_rtoDJ0B2Oov2nPbInHVIF_UQI6iMKw/edit?usp=sharing
The current data (A+ rated stocks today) is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jEGkmtRhjAMY106V283poSXvtI_yImy8C9ZFOOZOUlk/edit?usp=sharing
​
I am happy to answer any questions about the score, or any of my other scores if you've seen my other work. As with all the data I post, this score is not the holy-grail, it's probably not even a grail, honestly. For me it's another tool in the arsenal for finding great stocks.

budget: electricity price hike for some / what affects the price?

Earlier we learned that 90% of users won't see an increase next year. Heavy users will pay 3 more Drams.
Public Services Tariff Department provides details: 10% of the consumers, who use >400kw/h per month, will pay AMD 3 more for electricity next year. The nuclear plant will stop next year for a major renovation. As a result, 560 million kw/h less electricity will be produced. It will be substituted by thermal power plants (which produce electricity at a higher cost, therefore it sell at a higher price). Moreover, 330 million kw/h was supposed to be imported from Artsakh but most of the power infrastructure went under Azeri control.
As a result, there is an AMD 16.5 billion deficit. It breaks down to AMD 3.4 per user.
Another thing that had an impact was currency value changes. It introduced AMD 4.6 billion in deficit.
There were infrastructure upgrades last year which should be compensated by raising the prices. Prior loans should also be repaid. Due to the deviations of the production structure this year, additional damage has occurred in the system, which must be also compensated.
There were positive developments, too. The losses during the electricity distribution reduced from 11% to 7.5%. This had an effect of AMD 8.5 billion. The operational and maintenance expenditures were slashed by AMD 4.7 billion.
With the aforementioned positive and negative combined, we had an AMD 25.9 billion deficit. It breaks down to AMD 5.35 per consumer per kWh.
We were supposed to spend AMD 6.7 billion on the third electric network with Iran but since the project was delayed, we spent the saved funds to reduce the aforementioned deficit. Another AMD 8.2 billion came after holding talks with the govt about refinancing nuclear loans.
After these changes, the deficit was reduced to AMD 11 billion.
That breaks down to AMD 2.27 per consumer if it was raised for every consumer, but we decided not to raise it for low-income or small users. As a result, AMD 3 will be raised for 10%, for larger users.

nuclear plant will purchase more fuel from Russia

Metsamor NPP signed a contract with Rosatom to purchase nuclear fuel in 2021. It is for the ВВЭР-440 nuclear reactor that has a capacity of 407MW.
The NPP produces 40% of Armenia's electricity. It has produced 1.8905 billion mkw/h between January-September.

new bill to reduce judicial system overload

Justice Ministry drafted a new bill that aims to reduce the burden on judges who are currently assigned to hundreds (or thousands?) of cases. Everyone complains about slow trials.
The bill introduces a sub-specialization of the examination of motions for application of precautionary measures, the search operations, the implementation of investigative measures, as well as the investigation of corruption crimes. (Google Translate)
"New judges will be hired to hear the aforementioned cases. This will result in a workload reduction for others. It'll also reduce corruption risks."

anti-corruption: ex-Culture Minister wanted by police / offshore scheme

Investigative Committee: Hasmik Poghosyan was the Culture Minister in 2006. She was also vice-president of a "culture" organization. She illegally gave a Yerevan-owned property to the organization. Her accomplice was the organization's president Armen Smbatyan, who would later become Ambassador to Israel.
The appropriated AMD 201 million-worth property was then deposited as an investment in an LLC company established by the "culture" organization. It was registered as LCC's property.
The LLC then made the $550,000 transfer to an offshore firm belonging to the Minister's family registered in the British Virgin Islands.
A felony case is launched against the ex-Minister (wanted, arrest) and her accomplice ex-ambassador (bail).
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038861.html
Defendant ex-Israel ambassador Smbatyan commented the story this way: "This is an old story. We were just trying to protect the building by making investments. The building is there, we haven't done anything."
https://factor.am/323958.html

felony case against Kocharyan's business for "forcing workers to participate in anti-Pashinyan protests"

Read yesterday news for the original story.
Police say: we examined a claim made by the wife of an employee and found that the director of a [Toyota Yerevan] business, located on Isakov Avenue, urged 30-35 employees to take part in the next day's protests. Among them was the auto-electrician, [the husband of the woman who made the claim]. The man refused to join protests so he was told he couldn't work there anymore.
A felony case is launched per Code 143.1 "մարդու և քաղաքացու իրավունքներն ու ազատություններն... խախտելը աշխարհայացքից, քաղաքական կամ այլ հայացքներից...".

opposition resumes the rally / building blockade / "armed coup" incitement

The 16 opposition parties, allied or part of the former regime, have resumed the demonstrations today. They continue to demand Pashinyan's resignation and the appointment of their own candidate Vazgen Manukyan as PM.
As promised yesterday, they attempted to encircle the government building in the morning to prevent Pashinyan and the government cabinet from being able to enter and hold a session. The police formed a wall around the entrance.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038786.html
The demonstrators were unable to get too close to govt building entrance in the morning because police forces went there first and blocked the areas that could be used to approach the building entrance.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203636
There was a confrontation between several demonstrators and the police while opening the Tigran Mets road, while demonstrators were attempting to prevent officials from leaving the building. The demonstrators complained about excessive force. Police said they'll investigate the claims. 69 people were detained.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038823.html , https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203651
The demonstrators were unable to achieve the main goal. When asked to comment on accusations that the opposition is "indecisive" and the "number of protesters gradually dwindle", the ARF co-leader Ishkhan Saghatelyan said, "There is such concern. Many citizens urge us to take decisive action. I think what we do today is a decisive action. Citizens who are disappointed in us for not taking decisive action should come to the public square right now because the whole government is in this building. What other decisive action should we take?"
Opposition's PM candidate Manukyan commented, "If we want to take a civilized approach then the people must come here. If 100,000 people were here, the issue would be over now. There are such 100,000 people who are dissatisfied, who understand that the country is collapsing, but they are sitting at home."
Full: https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203659
One of the demonstrators, volunteer Sargis Karapetyan, called for an armed coup against the government. He was arrested and charged with Code 301.
ARF Ishkhan Saghatelyan disagreed with the calls for an armed coup and called it "unacceptable", adding that "we can invade the government building any time we want but that's not the goal".
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038849.html , https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203669 , https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203678
HR Ombudsman: During one of the demonstrations today, calls were made for an armed coup. This is reprehensible. One of the leaders of the demonstrations made it clear that violence is unacceptable. The organizers of the opposition's protests must keep in mind that the opposition is also an institution of statehood, the state of human rights in the country also depends on the opposition.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038819.html
There was a confrontation between the opposition demonstrators and several family members of POWs and missing soldiers. The families asked demonstrators to go home because they believe the protests hinder the process of POW exchange and search operations.
Families believe that Azerbaijan is intentionally delaying the process to fuel more protests in Armenia. The families also asked demonstrators not to hold parties and play loud music in the squaare out of respect to their fallen/missing sons.
https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/203665

other opposition news besides protests

LHK has launched a campaign to organize a committee to spend 10 months and investigate details about events that occurred before, during, and after the war. They invited the top-6 political parties to join. That means 3 Parliamentary parties (QP, BHK, LHK) and 3 non-Parliamentary parties (HHK, ARF, Menq).
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038853.html
BHK will hold a meeting to discuss the issues faced by bordering settlements.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038797.html

government session was held despite protesters' attempts to blockade it

traffic tickets pardoned
The govt approved a resolution, yet to be approved by Parliament, to cancel several types of traffic citations issued between September 27 to December 27. "There were violations of traffic rules due to extreme necessity, during the war."
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038805.html
aid packages for Artsakh
Pashinyan: we have multiple aid programs for Artsakh residents. An AMD 6.4 billion for 87,000 residents as a one-time payment. AMD 600 million for 2,000 recipients whose homes went under Azeri control. AMD 940 million aid to Artsakh to pay December pensions. AMD 3.1 billion aid to help pay Artsakh public sector salaries in December. AMD 1 billion aid to fully subsidize 3-month utility bills for residents. Other 8 aid packages are in progress. These are part of the Roadmap.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038802.html
Artsakh children receive gifts
Artsakh preschool kids will receive another AMD 20,000 as New Year's gift. It can be collected this week from HayPost or ArtsakhPost post offices.
Pashinyan: For obvious reasons, there will be no New Year festivities, but children should not be deprived of holiday events; there will be performances for children in theaters.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038806.html
ambulance cars
Healthcare Ministry purchased 30 ambulance vehicles and received 12 as a donation. The govt donated 5 of them to Artsakh.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038791.html
co-subsidized programs
Infrastructure Minister: we planned AMD 10 billion in infrastructure upgrades but spent an additional 4.6 billion. Overall, 29 billion was spent with the help of local governments. That's about 5 billion more than last year, despite the pandemic-year.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1038837.html
meeting with volunteers
A group of volunteer soldiers were invited to a govt building to discuss issues.

Syunik border demarcation continues

Pashinyan: Border checkpoints are currently being installed in Syunik province, with some complications. We are convinced that this work must be done. It's necessary to ensure the safety of Syunik and Armenia in general.
There are two settlements where questions and painful situations may arise: Vorotan and Shurnukh (check the archive of my previous posts for details for each). Works are carried out on daily basis here. If certain issues arise from the point of view of the interests of our citizens, the government will come up with full compensation. The interests of our citizens will be fully protected. (the two villages were built partially on the other side of the Syunik border; some could lose their homes).
There is a flow of misinformation around the topic. For example, there may be hundreds of publications about one case, with bells and whistles, to give the impression that it's a widespread occurrence. I want to repeat that there can be no question of a single millimeter of concession from Syunik and the internationally recognized territory of the Republic of Armenia.
On the other hand, this does not mean that the aforementioned processes should be considered as demarcation or delimitation, they are different issues. At this stage, certain border points are being located, the purpose of which is to ensure safety. This new situation raises some emotions, but I say again, we must overcome this stage as calmly as possible in order to achieve the full functioning of the new security system that we are building today.
I spoke with the commander of border guards this morning and gave specific instructions on how to manage this process so that it goes as smoothly as possible so that the interests of our citizens are maximally protected. This was discussed with the MoD, General Chief of Staff, and others.
We know with a centimeter-precision the areas where we can have border disputes. We held a meeting 10 days earlier and there was an order to contact residents of these bordering regions to inform them in detail about the ongoing processes, and that their lost properties will be fully compensated.
 
Context: Artsakh's Qashatakh region, south of Lachin, was mostly occupied by Azeris during the war. The parts that weren't occupied had to be given to Azerbaijan as part of the agreement to "return the 7 regions". Qashatagh is one of the 7 regions adjacent to Nagorno-Artsakh. Qashatagh borders Armenia's Syunik province. Naturally, new borders have to be drawn here between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Some Armenian settlements and roads were built on Syunik-Qashatahg borders, which are now Syunik-Azerbaijan borders. This created disputes and concerns by some of the bordering residents because their settlements became close to borders overnight.

More details about border village Shurnukh. It has a road that became a border. 11 houses are on the Azeri side of the road.

daily fake news: Azeris dancing "a few meters away from Lake Sevan"

Gegharquniq governor: Some media outlets and Facebook users circulated a video claiming that Azeris were dancing a few meters away from the Lake Sevan. The video was recorded elsewhere and is unrelated to Sevan. Be respectful to the army and soldier. They are during their duties of protecting the borders.

daily fake news: Azeris open fire on Armenian vehicle near Tegh village

A priest participated in a demonstration and claimed that "Azeris opened fire at an Armenian car that didn't stop near Tegh village on December 10th."
Fact checker contacted Tegh mayor who said the priest "misunderstood" the story, which went like this: "Armenian car was traveling on border road, Azeris tried to stop it probably to ask for cigarette or something, the car didn't stop. After that, there were sounds of gunshots but they came from far away. It's possible that it came from the front lines. Could also be fired by our troops, we don't know."

daily fake news: Syunik residents are taken hostage

BHK MPs spread yet another misinformation, according to a fact-checker. MP Lianna Manukyan circulated an Azeri video of Armenian POWs recorded elsewhere a while back, and claimed that it was a recent incident in Syunik.

conscript recalls the battles in Fizuli, Hadrut, and Shushi

19-year-old Gor Ghazaryan: before the war, we would visit front lines in large vehicle columns. But on September 25th (two days before war) it was different. They took us there one by one, with different routes.
We reached the front. They told us the situation is tense. We observed how the opponent brought equipment. At 4:00 AM we received a Level-1 alarm. We noticed that the Azeri village lights, which were usually off at night, were lit. That meant the population was being evacuated. We waited for the attack.
The fight began in the morning with a barrage of artillery fire. It was working around the clock. When we exhausted all our reserves, we couldn't hold the post any longer with 8 people because the opponent brought 7-8 tanks: one tank for each of us. We decided to retreat. We moved back three defense lines where our artillery was.
Eventually, we reached Fizuli Crossroads (south) which is 30km from the original front. We took a rest for 3 days before being sent to provide a shift change to Artsakh Hero David Ghazaryan's unit. Ghazaryan "Kombat Davo" was killed earlier. Everyone spoke about him. For me, he was the image of the hero during the war.
We fought in Hadrut for 10 days before entering a forest. There, we waited for instructions for several days. We learned that Hadrut and Martuni parts were encircled and our troops had to retreat. The retreating troops met us in forests, and together, we went to Stepanakert. From there, we went south near Qarin Tak (just south of Shushi)
The situation was intensifying every moment. We had a strong army in Qarin Tak. We took positions in various parts. There were fierce battles for 5 days. The opponent got closer and it turned into a rifle battle. We were disadvantaged because they held better positions.
We retreated that night to where the "Shushi" sign is in red letters. Three days later I was wounded from an explosion there. They took me to Stepanakert. Three days later I found out about the fall of Shushi.

Healthcare Minister Torosyan: it's been two weeks since we haven't had a patient at home who is waiting for a free hospital bed. Moreover, some hospitals returned to their original duties. Please continue to follow safety measures: distance, hand washing, masks. The death rate in Armenia is 1.5%, which is low; it's 10% in some countries.
Pashinyan: we were better prepared for the 2nd wave. During the 1st wave, there was a lot of criticism, most of which was politicized. We were shown various examples to show how poorly the coronavirus was managed in Armenia, but our prediction came true about the countries being in the same situation eventually. There were countries that had virtually zero cases while we were at our peak. Now, these countries have passed us or will pass soon.

fight continues over anti-smoking bill

We learned last week that several QP MPs introduced a bill to delay a government bill that would ban smoking in public and enclosed areas, as well as the display of cigarettes in convenience shops. Healthcare Ministry advised the MPs not to touch the law and let it go into effect in January. The MPs want to delay it until 2022.
Today Healthcare Minister Torosyan unloaded a tirade on the cigarette industry, calling them powerful, manipulative, and being able to "blackmail" to achieve their goals. The Minister is against delaying the bill, saying it's necessary for public health, especially in the age of pandemic.
The bill to delay the bill will be discussed in Parliament soon. There will be a debate.

Armenian wine has attracted the French attention

Winemaker Tigran Avagyan approaches the fermentation keg with a glass, fills a quarter with red wine, slightly bends the glass, and shows the color of the young red wine. It will graduate in February.
Tigran graduated from the Komitas Conservatory's folklore department and works as a realtor today. He would not have imagined a few years ago that today he would be a winemaker. "Wine is a way of life. It enters the human soul and never leaves."
[skipping story] Today, he exports small quantities of "Sutak" wine to France. Recently, a French sommelier paid a visit to learn about the wine. He was surprised that it was produced in a home environment. "He was probably picturing a big factory."

I've been seeing a lot of posts asking for this. To the best of my ability I'll list what I've found with evidence. I'm addressing Alex Mahan as "EvaX" instead of "YanDev" because I don't think it's very accurate to call him a developer.
Important note: I don't condone the harassment of Alex Mahan. While it is fine to be outraged over his behavior, harassment of any kind is not encouraged. The purpose of this post is to bring to light the morally inept behaviors that have been expressed throughout the years, not to create reasons to harass Mahan.
About CannotGoogleMe: There is now proof beyond reasonable doubt (99%) that confirms CannotGoogleMe is EvaX. Subject is under 2015.
Lastly, if I'm missing any information or if someone would like to make a better timeline, feel free to take from this post or build off of it- you can copy-paste! The goal is to make a comprehensive list to get the facts straight so that everyone is better informed.
The notes about his age is to prevent any arguments about his age ("he was only a teen when he wrote that!"), and to give a better example of... is this a good reflection of how an ___ aged man should behave? Also provided as a DEFENSE for EvaX himself (as seen in "ideation of killing his parents) as he is speculated to only be 16.
(Please comment any info/evidence I'm missing instead of messaging me)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under Construction /Ambiguous dates / Misc.
Ideation of killing his parents (2000's- unknown date)
EvaX has been known to be a frequenter of sites like Gaia and 4chan. He posted about wanting to kill his parents; someone advised him to move out but he didn't want to as he was a dependent. While this is worrisome behavior, the speculated time of the post places EvaX to be in his late teens (most likely 16?), so it's not quite relevant to his behavior now besides building a background of repeated behavior and an unstable/ dangerous mindset.
Abusing Stream Watchers
Called a person an a*tistic little b*tch in a stream. Unfortunately it was deleted and I cannot find any evidence of it (if found I'll put it here), but this was also part of the stream that was captured by a kiwi before being deleted (speculated to have occurred on 2009 or 2015, based on the dates, making EvaX ~21 or 27).

Unprofessional Interactions Compilation

Mulberry
YanSim's main artist has some allegations against her for tracing art. Not a callout for her, just that it means there are stolen images/ traced art in the game, and I'm not sure if people want to support that.
Spaghetti Code
A very long video that does a good job in covering the code. The video is segmented if you wish to look for a specific subject, and is also in the description.
Loserz Message Board
2006-2007 (~18-19 y/o)
EvaX was part of the Loserz Message Board (Loserz webcomic forum) and has made some questionable posts and comments about women and general incel thoughts. Most of his activity were in 2006-2007 (18-19 y/o), so hold these against him with consideration of his age.
Playing a Porn Game with an Underaged Character
2006 (~18 y/o)
EvaX frequented a forum to guide him on a game called Rapelay, a pornographic game centered around sexually assaulting a mother and her two daughters, one of whom is underaged. While the forum has no pictures, click at your own risk due to the nature of the game.
Alleged Pastebin of EvaX addressing Streaming Abuse
EvaX has/had a private website where he streamed and interacted with people, and this is apparently a response to EvaX abusing mod powers (banning, censorship, etc.)
​
Volunteer Mistreatment
Many volunteers have stopped working with EvaX after harsh treatment or problematic behavior. Will be updated with more information
​
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2005-2012 (17- 24 y/o; "Life of a Sex Slave" was written in 2009, making him ~21 y/o).
Disturbing Fanfictions
EvaX wrote many stories, some about rape and human trafficking (sex slaves). Read at your own risk. In one of the stories, a character was 10 years old when she first experienced rape (and it goes on until her late teens).
2006 (~18 y/o; site lists as 20 but it's either wrong or EvaX forgot to update copyright)-
Name Origin / Confirmation
EvaXephon's name is a combination of Alex Mahan's favorite animes, NGE ("Eva" coming from Evangelion) and RahXephon (Xephon). EvaX has a fanmade site to compare these two animes and confirms that they are the origin of his username.
Rage tendencies
In a conversation in a forum post, EvaX mentions "rage" tendencies and that he has been forbidden from screaming to relieve stress. He mentions hitting objects and more screaming. There are more incel posts at this time.
2008 (~20 y/o)-
Incel / misogynistic Gaia Posts
EvaX confirms he is NotDepressedAnymore (the UN for most of these posts).
EvaX posts an "incel" post on Gaia where he blames his physical appearance for the lack of attention from girls ("I'm a nice friendly guy and I just want people to give me a chance [...] I guess my face makes me look like a creepy, weird guy, so no one wants to know me or be around me"). Here's a similar post. And another one. Aand another one. Aaaaaaaaand another one.
Branching off of this, EvaX has sexualized women and "creep'd" on them. In one post, he mentions staring at a girl's breasts and wonders if his creepy behavior made her cover up.
2009 (~21 y/o)
Sisefs- soliciting nudes and engaging in online sex with a minor
In a post from the victim herself, she confirms that she was in a relationship with EvaX, with EvaX KNOWING she was 14. He justified this relationship by saying that since he was homeschooled, he missed out on dating in high school. She was in MIDDLE SCHOOL.
He asked her for nudes, sexted over skype, and masturbated to her on webcam.
Here's a chatlog with a different girl; use control-f to find "sex". It's predatory. Sisefs is mentioned in the chatlog, but EvaX lies about his experience with her and her character (most importantly, that she was a minor):
" She did a bunch of bad stuff, like...she lied about her age, and she started a website to give people a place to say bad things about me, and her parents took away her Internet privileges because she was taking nude pictures of herself and sending them out to people. She sent me her nude pictures (and she sent them to like 100 other people too) and somehow, this means "EvaXephon requests child porn from minors". I deleted all of her photos as soon as I discovered that she had been lying about her age the whole time. She was not a good person at all, and I am very glad that I don't know her anymore.""
He also wrote this in context of his experience with Sisefs in 2015 (~27 y/o).
He later makes an tumblr post addressing Sisefs in 2015 (~27 y/o) and general pedophilia/ sisefs situation in 2017 (~29 y/o).
Tumblr user Wunkolo talked to EvaX about this and this was part of his response in an email.
​
2011-2014 (~23-26 y/o)-
"VideoGameBabes" Twitter
EvaX is confirmed to be the owner of the twitter account "VideoGameBabes". The account is centered around writing about... hot video game "babes", and while that in itself is kinda problematic, he goes beyond that by making a pedophilic comment- "Japan has produced yet another game about fondling underage anime girls. All praise to glorious Japan!"
​
2014 (~26 y/o)-
Luna Scythe / Skullgirl Programmer Rant
EvaX worked on a hack-and-slash called Lunar Scythe, and he posted it to a skullgirls forum. There has been criticisms from people, as the main character looks like a generic edgy girl (and bears similarity to Ruby?) and has an overly "sexy" vibe. The description of the game literally says
" At the beginning of the game, Luna dies. As Luna’s spirit looks down at her own body, she feels nothing but apathy. She didn’t want to live in a world filled with human filth*, anyway.* "
EvaX showed his game to Mike Z., the lead programmer of Skullgirls. Here's the pastebin transcript of when Eva X and Mike Z had a conversation about the game. He gave EvaX criticism and EvaX blew up in a later post.This is why some people have called Yandere Simulator a "Spite Game" in response to YS fans calling Love Letter the same.
Senpai's Little Sister Controversy
EvaX originally wrote Senpai's sister to be cute and innocent, but wanted to make her "lewd/ jailbaity". This is problematic because Hanako is underage. His defense was that it would make people feel less guilty about killing her.
He later states that Hanako and Senpai are only 3 months apart (same parents) when that is biologically impossible. Also controversial due to incest implications- however, this is a common trope in anime.
Unfortunately, a lot of the posts/ evidence are in yandere_simulator and that is currently in lockdown (and most likely deleted). I'll update if given pictures.
​
2015 (~27 y/o)-
Addressing suggestions to remove panty shots
I think the post speaks for itself. EvaX thinks people are too sensitive when they tell him to remove a feature in the game that is literally creeping on underage girls, and he wants to implement rape into a game about murdering minors?
Admits he has no formal training
The reason why his code is spaghetti is because he learned while messing around in free programs and from his experience at a company.
Existence of Sex Doll ( "Mai Waifu" character namesake )
CannotGoogleMe is confirmed to be EvaX. Controversial as it is heavily implied that EvaX has bought the doll using Patreon money, as well as naming a class 1-1 (freshman) underage character after his sex doll, placing her at around age 14-15. They have similarities, such as pink hair (which was inspired by a Momoka cosplayer EvaX saw). Forum posts start at 2012, but doll posts begin at 2015.
Click links with caution. First is the "Mai Waifu" and gets close to nudity but has spoiler tags, while the "Samus" one is less risque.
​
2016 (~28 y/o)-
Censorship on Yandere Simulator Wiki
While EvaX is the "dev", he doesn't have the right to remove posts on a fan-run wikia. He barged into the wiki and started removing posts and comments and got banned, then started a flame war with another user. They told him "you aren't above the rules" and EvaX starts attacking his personality and credibility (ad hominem fallacy).
Ayano in Crush Crush (A Porn Version exists)
Crush Crush is an idle dating sim, and EvaX agreed to let Ayano be made into a dateable character. It is partnered with Nutaku (a well-known adult company) and has a NSFW version (link to twitter, not the game. Safe to click). The 18+ version has a still image of the main character (a white blob) doing it with any of the dateable characters, Ayano included.
Ayano is 18* (Ayano previously was listed to be around 17, but has since been boosted to be 18). There is a classic tactic for people who draw/make/etc. porn to say that all characters depicted are 18+, even if specified otherwise. This seems like a similar case.
Sex License
In a conversation with someone EvaX addresses as "N", he talks about an idea to bypass the age of consent. EvaX did not condone "N" demonizing pedophiles, and defended his idea for a sex license- a test to see if an underage individual is ready for sex (his argument being that people have different maturities regardless of age).
" Intent on forcing me to answer a question that would allow her to brand me as a pedophile, she demanded to know if I would permit a 14-year-old to have sex with a grown man if the 14-year-old had passed the “sex license test” that I had proposed.
Well, obviously, if there’s a test that objectively proves that a person is ready for sex, and a person passes that test, then that person is objectively ready for sex. This is simple logic, but “N” lacked the mental capacity to figure this out for herself."
​
2016-2017 (~28-29 y/o)-
Nemesis Origin / Stolen concept
Nemesis was based off this art as stated by EvaX himself. To EvaX's credit, he did change Nemesis's hairstyle with the artist's approval, albeit the character design is still very, very similar. (In Mission Mode, it is revealed that Nemesis is Hanako from the Mission Mode alternate timeline, meaning she is underage).
​
2017 (~29 y/o)-
Stolen Art Used in a Video
EvaX stole multiple fanart from teenagers across some art platforms (Deviantart, tumblr, etc.), blacked them out, and used them to tease new characters. A user has made a very descriptive post about this on the wikia.
Some of these characters are from licensed video games and anime (Elsword and Durarara), so I'm concerned about the legality of using a different company's character to promote your own, even if it's through STOLEN fanart.
​
2018 (~30 y/o)-
Calls Patreon his Tip Jar
EvaX says the patreon is his tip jar, not the budget for the game. He SOMETIMES compensates volunteers with money from it, however. This is noteworthy as most people assume that the money they're giving him are to support the game, not buy an extra switch or a sex doll (allegedly).
​
2019 (~31 y/o)-
Announces crossover with Project QT (Porn Game)
Ayano is in the crossover, and EvaX defends this choice by saying "YanSim was never intended for children; my audience is mostly adults". Click the first link at your own risk. This is problematic because Ayano is underaged* (even if EvaX says "ALL CHARACTERS ARE 18 EVEN IF SPECIFIED OTHERWISE HURR DURR").
​
2020 (~32 y/o)-
Discord Speedrun Ban Arc
EvaX made a post addressing what happened to him in 2020, with the "Discord Speedrun Ban Arc" being the first. He states that this started on Jan 20, 2020, and on the same day he posts a tweet about suicidal ideation. Not so much as a demerit to him, but just a reflection of how he handles stressful situations and his poor state of mind. (Important note: even if you think EvaX is a terrible person, harassment is not okay).
Announces crossover with BITC (Porn Game)
Ayano and Nemesis are in the crossover. EvaX just makes a simple post announcing it. Same underage problem applies (as aforementioned, Nemesis is Hanako from another timeline, making her underaged, while Ayano had her age changed to "18").
Intimidating rival games and threatening suicide to the Dev of Love Letter
To the developer of WMN (telling him to take down the game and lie to the fanbase)
and to the developer of Love Letter (suicide threat)
Puts discord server and subreddit on lockdown; censorship
No description needed.

I was able to make it work on my cousins' Wiiu but I can't get to work on my wii. Now I have a SD card adaptor with a micro SD card that says 64 GB. I have no computer so I tried using my tablet. Every time it didn't work, I checked the Mac thing Dozens of times and it still won't work. Homebrew is installed, because I used the DNS method. Letter Bomb is not showing up at all. The Micro SD card has some important stuff on it because it has Switch game saves on it. The SD card has 2/64 GB on it because of the Switch Games. I do have a WiiU, but the game pad is destoryed so, I can't use the internet method. I have an original copy of MKW that came in a buddle pack when I first brought my wii. The wii is updated to 4.3U and it not showing LetterBomb. There is no other modded channel installed except for Hombrew(DNS) version. I need help. Someone.

Ugh, really REALLY need to clear space out! ASAP! Also, while I don't have a ton of feedback on here, I do have a lot on mangaswap (since I definitely tend to do more manga)
I'm just going to make a list by price of each volume and just have a few price tiers, making this easier. Shipping is not included, however.

Hello, Reddit! I have recently discovered a problem which could lead to the demise of our family. Earlier this year our Wii Console stopped working, which was fine as I bought another and started playing MKW again. But today my father and I have stumbled upon a life changing problem! He thinks he had a 3 star licence, but I know he only had a 2 star licence! Unfortunately, when we booted our old Wii up it still was not working and we could not find the answer. The problem with our Wii was that when I put in the disk, first it said unrecognisable disk. But after clearing out some dust by blowing into the console, it managed to load the mario kart disc. After pressing start it would display the warning about the wii remote but then crashed as usual and said "An error has occurred" and told us to turn off the console and take out the disc. So I was wondering if there was any other way to find our previous star ranking, is there anything on the Wii console, or on the mario kart channel?? We can still get on the mkw channel but not onto WFC (of course). We even searched through the old letters to see if MKW sent a letter when you got a star licence, but to no avail. Is there any way to 1) fix my wii to find the result, or 2) find any other way to find our star rankings.

So, do you know what the concept of a "smart contract" is? Do you what makes a smart contract different from other types of contracts?
First, make sure you can answer the above questions. I am happy to help if you need it. Once you are satisfied that you understand the answers to the above questions, you can proceed...
Do you know that Ethereum's entire purpose is to execute smart contracts faithfully, explicitly executing the code as written? Do you know that this is the one and only role it is designed to fill?
Make sure that you can answer those questions, too. Go read the Ethereum whitepaper if you need to. It's important that you understand this fact, too, otherwise you won't be able to appreciate where this leads...
Once you're satisfied that you understand smart contracts and the fact that Ethereum is built solely to execute such contracts, objectively and without bias, you are finally ready to get the point...
If TheDAO is bailed out, it wholly and irrefutably defeats the entire point of Ethereum. It demonstrates that Ethereum, at least in extreme circumstances, is not a faithful smart contract execution platform. It is not immutable. There are loopholes for when things don't go as planned, and this is going to happen, because bugs are evidently pretty easy to miss.
Right now, a valid contract is in the process of being invalidated retroactively by a central agency's intervention.
Every conceivable value to Ethereum is fundamentally undermined by this single demonstration. It is showing, right now, that the overlords and community are much more interested in propping up the price of the token (the permanently-inflationary token that was explicitly not designed to be optimal from a monetary view) than actually adhering to the Ethereum vision.
Read these chat logs where the Ethereum Foundation is frantically trying to get every exchange to halt all crypto trading, deposits, and withdrawals so that they could keep Ethereum from collapsing. The desperation is palpable. Ethereum has undeniably shifted into the "Pump N Dump Shitcoin" category at this point; whatever problems it was originally built to solve have been abandoned out of short-term, short-sighted greed.
In the case of Bitcoin, greed is carefully taken into account, and it serves as a propellant force to the growth and adoption of the network. In Ethereum, it is objectively preventing the system from doing what it was built to do. No matter how "cool" you think it is to be able to retroactively invalidate a "smart" contract if the community demands and/or it is otherwise coerced into happening, there is no way to deny that this is directly at odds with the point of doing things with smart contracts in the first place. If we just want to have a rule-by-mob or rule-by-central-agency contract execution platform, there are much simpler, much more cost-efficient, much more secure, and much more reliable ways we can achieve it. Again, the whole entire purpose of Ethereum was to make an inviolate Virtual Machine that follows programmatic contracts to the letter, without possibility of interference, and it was engineered with this purpose in mind. Many tradeoffs were made to achieve this (and personally I believe many poor design decisions were made on top of this, but that's not relevant to the point here), but up until now it looked like it might at least do what it purports to... maybe not efficiently or practically, but at least objectively. Now that this principle is being abandoned (despite the whole "this is our one and only 'get out of jail free' card, guys, we totally promise!"), there's no actual reason at all for Ethereum to exist, other than as a speculative toy. A pretty bad long-term investment, too, considering the non-competitive infinite inflation. Basically, at this point Ethereum is a giant game of Hot Potato. You want to find the Greater Fool and sell him all your ether, because the token itself is now firmly in the "shitcoin" category after the whole DAO fiasco.
So, yeah. Ethereum is a private company running a quasi-blockchain, which is basically just a really expensive, not-very-powerful, and really error-prone Virtual Machine that fails to demonstrate objectivity in execution or immutability of state changes.
The writing is on the wall.
