    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...

    HOLD THE LINNNNNE! Am I doing it right The recovery seems to be surging now, most likely since everybody has had time to find an app that'll actually let them buy it again...

    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. The problem is that some employer already opened a Fidelity account in my name at some point, and I couldn't open a new one or use the existing one to trade stocks. Until I get in touch with them to sort it out, Fidelity is...

    I'm with you for now. How can it go up if people aren't allowed to buy, though? Utter horseshit. I'm holding, tomorrow will be interesting. I don't suppose anyone can step in and save the day in terms of one of these trading platforms opening GME to people so it can have a big resurgence.

    Put $500 (combined) on AMC and GME yesterday morning. Didn't expect much of a return but was hopeful. What's going on now seems like total horseshit though. Down about halfway on the investment and WANT to hold the line, but it seems like I'm not being given any choice in the matter.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Would Pathfinder be a good game to start with out of this group? As in, the first one I play all the way through? I'm looking for the most user-friendly one to start off. Maybe the easiest one. Granular difficulty settings usually accomodate that. Or would Pillars of Eternity be a good one to do...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    How can I avoid that when I play it? Just put Kingdom on autopilot? I think the only time I ever lost 60+ hours on a game was the infamous Velius fight in Final Fantasy Tactics. Like a lot of other players, I got boxed in on that fight and my party had no chance of defeating the boss (since...

    For real though, what it did was pique my interest and give me an understanding of the basic fundamentals. It also held my interest, which I doubt any actual finance class could have as a teenager. Course, now I'm studying up on whatever I can get.

    Good points. I think you're right about what the BTC ceiling is right now and that it'll exceed that, but not this year. I'm thinking I'll drop some funds on it as a long-term investment, leave that alone, and see what happens with it over time. Meanwhile, try doing some swing trading of BTC...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Welp, I got 'em all. Now I have ten CRPGs to play: Planescape Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Basically catching up on like all the CRPGs ever. Not sure...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've seen a lot of people say that Planescape: Torment is their favorite game of all time. Probably a comparable number to things like Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. I mean it has HYPE around it. I can't wait to check it out. Is Torment: Tides of Numeria a sequel to it? It doesn't seem...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Grabbed Planescape Torment + Icewind Dale, the Baldur's Gate duogy, Neverwinter Nights, and I think I'll get Pathfinder: Kingmaker soon. I've heard Divinity: Original Sin 2 recommended a lot, but what about the first one? Are they both worth a run? Looks like the second is pretty cheap on PS4...

    So uh...when's a good time to buy into Bitcoin? I feel like it's going to surge under Biden while everything else drops, due to being disconnected from the banking system that they can now ban people from. Unless they're going to go after it for that very reason. And maybe I'm wrong and it's...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I've got World/Iceborne on PS4 and I really like this style of game, it's something I didn't realize I needed. I should have figured this out when my favorite parts of Final Fantasy 12 and 13 were the optional hunts. Dunno if I'll ever actually finish this monstrosity, but if I do, what other...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    After ignoring CRPGs for years, I got Torment: Tides and Pillars of Eternity on PS4 and like 'em so far. What else is worth getting from the genre? There's a Baldur's Gate duo-gy, and an Icewind Dale + Planescape Torment two-fer. Thinking about grabbing 'em both.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Welp, I finished Cyberpunk and I'm almost done with Yakuza 7, Ys 7, and Fenyx Rising (been bouncing between them for the past month). Think I'll get back to this next. I left off midway through, with a few territories in England conquered. What I'm reading has me pretty worried though. Why did...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Had a chance to get this for a measily $23 so I did. Hopefully I enjoy it. Been wanting to play a good modern Star Wars game for years and the Lego Star Wars series just doesn't really tickle my pickle the way I want. Main concern here is that I don't know if I have 20+ hours to put aside for...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I didn't say it was worth $1500, I said I've got about that much worth of relic draws on the account. I assume FFRK accounts are worth a lot less, even moderately well-geared ones like mine. Regardless, if anyone wants to make an offer or see the wares PM me and I'll send screenshots. At this...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Not gonna lie, stuff like that can make mediocre games a lot more tolerable. There have been a few times where I was on a stronger painkiller for a week or two and spent that week or two destroying my backlog of games I couldn't be arsed to finish under normal circumstances. Even the dull ones...

    JRPGs

    I probably won't get to Ys 8 before Ys 9 because time isn't gonna permit it. So I'll be going 7-9-8. At least the story isn't super-important to follow in order. 8 sounds like it's got some issues. I'm really into the Souls style of attacks feeling deliberate/weighted. One of the reasons Hyrule...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    If anyone's interested in getting into this and wants to buy my account, shoot me a PM. Haven't played it in about a year now but it's pretty up to date for that point. Tons of level 99 characters and weapons in the 8 or 9 star range, including most of the chase weapons for the Final Fantasy...

    Best phone games?

    Anyone know how feasible it is to play games like Dragon Quest 5 or Final Fantasy Dimensions with a controller on a tablet? As much as I like them on phone with touchscreen controls, I feel like it'd be a much better experience to put them on a tablet with a controller plugged in. Specifically...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    That's a shame. I've had a couple of people now lose their shit at me and stop talking to me because of some innocuous viewpoint I had, like "letting men play in women's sports is doing a disservice to women" type stuff. I'd be willing to bet that most right-wingers have at least a couple of...

    Anything I should look out for in Ys Seven as far as the last boss goes / anything else? I'm basically speedrunning the game. Gonna take more time with Ys 8 depending on how much time I've got until Feb 2nd.

    JRPGs

    I'm a ways into Ys Seven now and it's fun. More or less 2.5D like 6 was IIRC. Was kinda expecting it to be 3D like 8/9 but this works. On emulator it looks very much like a Wii game as far as resolution and clarity go. I had to try it on four different computers and each one had a different...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    This is something I would have been super into 5 years ago. Never platinumed any of the three, or even checked out any of the DLCs. ME1 and ME2 were two of my absolute favorite games from the PS3 gen (played them on the trilogy re-release). I mean they really got me thinking about space and the...

    Music Keyboards

    I've got about 20-30 things to sell around here and haven't gotten around to listing any of them on Amazon. This thread has reminded me that I totally could have gotten a lot more overall if I'd gotten all of the selling done a month ago. As for the keyboard, my only worry with the first one...

    Weird how Ys 5 never got a western release much less a remake. You'd think they would have tapped into it by now. I've never played Ys 4 either and have to figure out which version to go with whenever I get around to it. The TG16, Super Famicom, and Vita/PS4 versions are all pretty different...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Here's the thing. I like the idea of Sephiroth time-hopping to interfere with the heroes. However, just reviving Zack with no explanation is ridiculous and diminishes Crisis Core. The ending fights with the Whispers also felt like Kingdom Hearts bullshit with platitudes and nonsensical bullshit...
