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.
Terraria. I’ve tried 3 different times now and I just can’t get into it
terraria is a game that’s hard to start. especially if you don’t know anything about it beforehand. terraria has a lot of stuff.
it has so much stuff that I’m still surprised every now and then and ive got like 3000 hours in it total in the game.
Yeah I had to really force myself to like it, start with YT videos before playing it myself, and constantly have 8 wiki tabs open. If you can get past that, it’s an awesome game with potential to waste hundreds of hours.
I tried so hard with Terraria back in the day but never could get into it. I suppose it was partly because I approached it thinking “2D Minecraft” which it is not
The beginning of that game is quite slow, but it does pick up, and it has a lot more to offer than I thought when I first picked it up. It can also feel a bit inscrutable as there’s little to no direction offered to the player. Personally, I make liberal use of the wiki to counteract that. I’m betting there’s spoiler-sensitive guides out there, too.
