I'm hopefully going to find some time this weekend to get started on it. Can't wait to watch it!

So I thought I was going to come home and have a #DrinkInHand night after my long day at work. Got home at 8:30pm, ate, and was in bed passed out by 10:30pm. Then proceeded to sleep for 13 hours! I never sleep above 7 lol. Guess I was wore out.

So I legit just spent like 3-4 hours on Sea Of Thieves with a friend. It's the most fun I've had in a long as time gaming. What a great co-op game.

Good morning CT

Evening everyone. A pretty relaxed Monday for me so far although my GME shares took a bit of a hit. Still in the green but it was a lot greener this morning lol

Amc stocks doubled up for me and I'm making some good profits myself!

If we're talking about stocks, I hear Gamestops's is a roller coaster right now.

I wouldn't expect that to last, I heard companies were buying stock in order to manipulate the prices, sell off and then buy back when it bottoms out again. So be very careful with GameStop stock.

Yeah, it's pretty nice at the moment. I'm one of the idiots from WallStreetBets that has gone into it although not as much as the others. Only 7 shares for me

so that's what is going on, afraid I don't play stocks. Too risky and confusing.

Ah, yeah, be very careful! The game's fun while it lasts, but don't get caught when it goes back down and bottoms out!

Upon further inspection I'm apparently wrong, a bunch of hedge funds bought into GameStop in order to sell and drive the price down so they could profit on the buy-back when it bottomed out, which I was right about, but apparently it's the guys from WallStreetBets, as Ash mentioned, that have been doing the pushing to get the prices higher and cost these hedge funds a substantial amount of money. It won't last much longer, I would wager, because the games like this rarely do, but good on them for doing to the hedge funds what they were trying to do to others.
