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.


Haha maybe it’s as simple as that!
The recent Link’s Awakening remake was pretty well received, reckon they’ll keep making both classic and botw-style Zelda games in the way games like castlevania do?
Well the problem isn’t seems they’ve given up on the classic Zelda formula. Botw sorta ate it and spit out the bones, which is why I dislike the game so much. It’s a pod person that replaced Zelda and is living in its place.
Meanwhile you have another legacy game series like Resident Evil that in the same span of time seems to have figured out how to evolve the formula twice now into something new without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
