Prediction: the race for Florida Governor begins now. Whichever Democrat mayor ends up Cuomoing in the next few weeks will most likely face off against DeSantis in 2022.

Confession: I don't think that Tiger King on Netflix is all that especially strange. Yes, there's unusual stuff, but I've been on the internet long enough that maybe I can't see why people are acting like their jaws are on the floor.

I just found out my 2 favorite bands of all time Hall and Oates and Squeeze are touring together and coming to Tampa. If anybody here works in promotions let me know.

Is that what marbles are for? I used to flick them at each other for some reason and it always hurt to do

I've seen some really f***ed up, repugnant shit on the internet and Tiger King still amazes me.

"I’m broke as shit, I have a judgement against me from some bitch down there in Florida"

So quotable. I lost my shit with that campaign video.

Yeah you draw a circle and try and hit them out,, but marbula 1 is its own entity.

Marbies is an interdisciplinary sport.

Ubisoft seems primed to have a decent month of offerings for April as they've promised a month of giveaways, discounts, free trials etc.

Right now, Rayman Legends is free to keep on the Uplay store.

I’m missing hockey.

 

[Hoek]

Still okay so far. I miss going to hockey games but other than that haven't really felt an urge to go out anyway.

I got bored so I grabbed a miner license ($30 for 10 years), some gold pans and buckets. Taking the kids "camping" overnight near a river bed a few times with the time off and everyone indoors.

I'm hardly an investing expert, but since interest rates kept getting cut, savings accounts aren't paying out much (as if they really ever were).

If you've never invested in stocks (nearly half of adults don't own any stocks), now would probably be a good time to start legging in. (put a set amount in each day/week/month/quarter/whatever) So you're buying everything on a deal while the market is down. Even if we're talking like $10 a week, it'd make more long-term in a portfolio than a savings account. (once interest rates go up, things like savings accounts and CDs will begin to have higher returns, although the stock market will still easily outpace them)

edit: for sure though have an emergency fund and pay off your high-interest debt (credit cards, etc.) first if you need to.

Epic Games and Twitch Prime free games are now up.

Epic:
Gone Home is pretty lame if you don't like walking simulators.

Amazon:
I just played through Etherborn in the past few days as it was part of March's Humble Choice Bundle. It's decent. A puzzle game that takes about two hours to complete. I don't think there's really anything to go back to.

Kathy Rain was a good game I thought. It's a lot like last month's giveaway Whispers of a Machine.
