    Bunch of Johnny-come-latelies around here. *looks around* Oh. Blackberry sold, recouped 80% of the initial investment. It didn't go above 79% all week until this morning. They can rocketship it all they want but I wasn't seeing results, and a steep decline seems inevitable. Also got out of...

    I concur, but right now I've got buying power in RH that I'm trying to use (rather than having to pull more funds out of the bank). They must be completely backlogged because all of my transactions across all of these apps are on hours-long delays.

    Any Robinhood users here know wtf the deal is with buying crypto on there? It says I have no buying power, even though I've got over $300 worth of buying power on there now. Unless that only applies to stocks and there's a different fund for crypto? Either way it isn't giving me any choices...

    Wow, GME tanking. Had a chance to recoup my initial investment this morning and held instead, now I'm down to 75% of said investment and trending downward. Rebound potential good or GTFO now?

    Nevermind, it's fixed now. I'm selling Blackberry today and putting it into QQQ and SAII.

    Now that I have two greatswords, this looks even more like a Witcher 3 clone. Ubisoft has really been lacking in originality the last few years eh? Fenyx Rising is a BOTW clone, and AC Odyssey ripped off a bunch of Marvel movies (and Star Wars Ep 8).

    Fallout 1+2+Tactics collection with current-gen resolution and balancing tweaks to the early game. Who can I throw money at to make this happen? In addition to the ten CRPGs above, I've also now gotten ahold of Pillars of Eternity 2 and Warcraft 3 (plus expansions). Never played any of the...

    I wish they'd release a Fallout 1 and 2 Remastered set like they've done with all of these other games. It's really conspicuous by its absence, and should sell like hotcakes...unless FO4 and 76 really did burn the audience too much. The first two have been at the top of my "missed CRPGs I'd like...

    Not a bad idea. This seems like something to play when you're hankering for an AC game and have nothing else to play for a couple weeks. ...if that ever happens. So far I'm also finding it to be the least AC-like AC that I've played, and it has more in common with Witcher 3. Which isn't the...

    Alright, I'll go for the arrow skill that blows up walls. Also the Bear skill bonuses since those affect 2H if I'm understanding the game right. Is the dual 2-hander smash down barred doors thing a skill as well, or just a passive bonus? Looking at the list Daidraco posted, I see another...

    You can get one two-hander from one of the town merchants (Ravensthorpe, merchant upgraded to L2) if it's an upgrade: I'm still looking for a second one. Missed my chance to get that really good spear in Norway cause I'm in Britain now. Not sure how far along I am with the game. Guides make...

    Ever get a dose of nostalgia about something you never actually experienced? Like someone else's second-hand nostalgia? I just got that reading this. I may not have played any CRPGs growing up, but I sure was into the AD&D and Forgotten Realms stuff. Being as socially inactive as I was, a lot of...

    What would you rate Origins on that scale? I've been using the starter axes the whole time since I haven't found anything better. However I just learned the skill for dual-wielding two-handers + increased greatsword damage. Now I just need to find two greatswords. I bet I'll like the game a lot...

    15 or so hours into this and man, I don't know if I can do it. I love the England setting, and the visuals are stunning on PS5. However the gameplay is super-repetitive and the battle controls just feel sluggish. I'm not particularly interested in the main character or his band of immigrants...

    At this point, I'll probably sell GME whenever it goes over my initial investment. It keeps getting within $10 of it, but never quite going into the green. Also interested to see what happens on Monday, so I'm okay with staying in it. It'll be a good idea to be seriously on the ball with this...

    So someone recently edited that in? Jeffrey Psaki is definitely a manager at Citadel, that much can be confirmed easily enough. I don't see anything concrete saying they're actually related or that it's anything more than a coincidence. I could be wrong but yeah.

    Wait, they're seriously gonna treat this like the retail investors are the bad guys? We sure about this? Cause that's very off-brand for Warren. I expected this to be one time in 2021 when the Democrats could be counted on to be on the right side of something, but it might just be AOC.

    After paying February's bills I've got $480 left in the budget for this/next week to play around with on stonking. I could throw another $100 into Gamestop whenever it dips, and hang onto the rest until I do some more research. Thinking BTC if it dips below 30k, maybe some Palantir, hard to tell...

    Coinbase. If you want to get really froggy and avoid fees, also sign up with Coinbase Pro. Buy on Coinbase, sell on Coinbase Pro. I think that'll dodge some fees, from what I've read. Haven't tried it myself yet. Either way, start by getting Coinbase. That in conjunction with a stock platform...

    It was both, I'm all about sticking it to the man. However I also don't know what I'm doing yet. This week has been a crash course, hopefully I'll take away enough knowledge to get the ball rolling on some more legitimate stock trading (something I've wanted to get into for years).

    Yeah, I love the idea of just being turned loose in a hostile world, where every direction you go in will lead to a different adventure. The original Zelda did that, and it was what got me glued to Fallout 3 when I first fired it up. Unfortunately for the most part outside of EQ I've spent...

    Even before the memeing of the last month, Tesla was on a long climb. Now debatably it'll fall back down to normal for a while and this is a bad time to invest, which is where my being a n00b shows itself. BTC though I'm pretty confident will keep trending upward like it always has. I'll put...

    Getting out of AMC, held long enough. The price keeps rising during the time the transaction has been sitting there pending, too. I'm putting that into Tesla or BTC, enough meme stocks for me. Keeping GME but it seems to be stalling out, so I don't know how much longer I'll stick with it. Maybe...

    I'm just glad HD versions of all of these things exist now. There's even an HD version of the original Wizardry on PC. Ultima series next? Crazy stuff. In my middle age I'm going to make up for all the CRPGs I missed growing up.

    Wow, impressive late night gains in GME. At this rate it'll break its own record tomorrow, hopefully. AMC is lagging quite a bit unfortunately. Noob question: If you sell in the middle of the night and it goes through the next day at 9:30 or so, does it sell at the price it was at when you...

    What do you use for Doge? Don't remember seeing it available in any of my apps. Considered investing in it yesterday and didn't, bad move. I did put $500 in Bitcoin when it dipped to 30 though, could make a quick $100 profit but I'm going to leave it alone.

    I'm not seeing it, I stopped watching or reading any of those news networks months ago (except when I'm forced to, since they're all perpetually in everyone's face) I do know a couple of them put out articles trying to tear the redditors down, though. They were mentioned earlier in the thread...

    Did you ever get your money back? I'm still pissed that I have $400 locked up in Robinhood from when I signed up for it and then decided to go with Stash instead. I still haven't fixed that issue, and they don't have a customer support phone number of any kind to call and cancel anything...

    Just talked to them, they said they can do a block on Robinhood accessing my account but it'll cost me a $25 fee. Whatever. I'd rather wait and let Robinhood take the money and then just withdraw it back, but at this point I don't know if there'll be a Robinhood in a week to do that. $25 it is...

    I put $400 into a Robinhood account earlier this week before all of this happened. Ended up using Stash instead, so that $400 "buying power" is still sitting in Robinhood untouched. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it out and close the account. They haven't actually taken the $400 out of my...

    I wanted to get Fidelity to begin with, but ended up going with Stash.

Until I get in touch with them to sort it out, Fidelity is...
