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.

    No real opinion on most of these, but I’d like to ask when you played Oblivion? I maintain that its one of my favorite games that absolutely does not hold up

      I find the repetitive demon portals boring and the story felt kind of meh. By far my least favourite tes game and I’ve been around since daggerfall.

      But these days I try and stay clear of Bethesda, feels like they’ve outgrown their suit.

      I was introduced to it around 2010 and I thought it looked mid. I then finally tried it in 2012 and it played exactly how I expected it to, which, in my opinion was not very well at all. I like Morrowind and Skyrim, though.
