I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.

And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”

I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.

    Cyberpunk 2077.

    I don’t care much for the story and it gets too much into the way of me trying to enjoy the world.

    Also I despise that Silverhand guy.

      Oh man, I love all of it so much! I thought Silverhand was a riot the whole time. And I thought the whole “I’m dying and I need a fix right fuckin’ now!” plot line just fit the world really well.

      But you know, just cause I dug it, doesn’t mean anyone else has to.

      Ugh, yeah silverhand is painfully annoying. I absolutely dislike the trinkets in this game. Collect garbage simulator. I also often heard how the city felt truly alive. I never really got that feeling. Yeah it’s nice looking at all, but there are always the same 4 people at the same place talking nonsense to each other.
