I dont even know where to start when it comes to the stock market. I want to buy some GME, but I don't know how to or what the best place to go is.
Any advice for a beginner?

I do both Fidelity (quick supplemental purchases and then immediate transfer to CS after they clear) AND Computershare (continuous purchase plan with periodic movement of accumulated shares from “PLAN” to “BOOK” status.
Most of purchases (non 401k/IRA) since 2021 have been in regular bi-monthly CS purchase plan.
It would take awhile to transfer shares and wait for a letter from computershare,to open an account.
A new buyer just getting share, may be better to keep them in his brokerage. At least for a few weeks, this is a lot to learn all at once.
How do you get them to change your shares from PLAN to BOOK? I followed the instructions on superstonk (using their online "contact us" option) and they denied me. They said, "Unfortunately, we are unable to comply with your request to convert the plan shares via email. In order to convert the shares from plan class to Direct Registration System (DRS) class as book entry shares. We advise you mail us a duly signed written request to the below listed addresses By United States Postal Service:"
Note I did not email the request, I used their online "contact us" window.
I always call and do the switch. There is a phone number dedicated to GME, make sure you call that one.
