Balatro

This is going to sound so tragic, but right now there’s a game called Balatro. It’s like poker, and it’s possibly the most addictive thing ever created. It’s currently on Nintendo Switch and Steam deck, but it’s going to be released on phones, and at that point I think humankind’s activity is going to drop about 25%. I play that in short bursts when I’m writing to reward myself. I do like Ghost of Tsushima and Dave the Diver too, but there’s loads more.

Lost in ante 15, It needed 7.7e16, and I only managed 6.5e15.

If anyone is interested, the seed was KZ33819M

This is the furthest I've been ever. That was quite the rush of adrenaline :-D

The dev says this is one of three big announcements. One could possibly be a release date for the mobile version, but I'm not sure what the third could be.

I got absurdly lucky in the early game and got a negative Ballot and a Triboulet, along with Spare Trousers and some other decent jokers. I worked on getting more kings and queens and building up the trousers. Then I got to The Needle, went through all my discards without getting a pair of kings or queens, and lost. Sad thing is I had Director's Cut, but I'd been beating every blind in one hand so I thought it was a sure thing.

Just wanted to rant a bit.

New deck just drop !
