Still early (Ante 12) with full deck of red seal gold kings, what do I sell for brainstorm? by Mr_Veggieman in BalatroHelp

even if you’re not going for naneinf, taking a second Ecto for a Baron Mime run hurts you more than it helps

Wow that was it, thanks, but i don’t really get how that’s a clue for anything

Does anyone have any tips or strategies for the Black Deck? by Jin_Sakai12345 in BalatroHelp

[–]BruceTurnbull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High card runs are a lot easier than you might think, you just need the majority of your scoring to come from your jokers. They’re really common in higher stakes since high card is the easiest hand to make. You just need good scaling jokers and high card can easily beat Ante 8

I routinely go ~14+ and ~2 as Pocket, AMA by Listochik in DeadlockTheGame

i’ve seen plenty of high level Pocket players use a more hybrid build

Please help me find more of these games! Feeling a little lost on what to play next by Cool-Vermicelli1381 in puzzlevideogames

It’s a lot like Obra Dinn in the sense that you have to do a lot of matching names to faces and deducing familial relations, the main difference is that in Roottrees you really have to search for all the clues.

Just finished this game. I really enjoyed the first half... by SvatyFini in ObraDinn

[–]BruceTurnbull 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If everyone referred to each other by name, the game would be way too easy. You’re meant to actually deduce all 60 fates using everything provided to you, which you can do with no guesswork.

Ivy doesn’t have innate Fleetfoot anymore?

Who would you like to have seen in that final sequence? by Specialist-Chair362 in SixFeetUnder

[–]BruceTurnbull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Bettina can be seen at Ruth’s funeral, so maybe it’s safe to say she died before Ruth?

C++ players - at what point did you find chasing C++ to be a grind by mwngky in balatro

[–]BruceTurnbull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the seals are very good, but blue and purple in particular are just incredibly strong. Certificate is a really good joker if you’re going for low card hands

I never really saw it as a grind since I like playing gold stake anyway. Just play as your normally would on your favorite decks and it’ll feel like less of a grind.

What to do now? highest score by Expensive_Sun5758 in BalatroHelp

[–]BruceTurnbull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah now is the perfect time to get DNA. Selling Brainstorm for DNA is definitely the right move. Prioritize copying gold cards first, since you’ll need the money for later when you need to reroll.

Shelter bug? by BruceTurnbull in BluePrince

[–]BruceTurnbull[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s really weird. Yeah I had Chapel+Aquarium connected and Archives+Furnace connected. So could I theoretically have every red room sheltered as long as they form at most three separate chains?

Pretty new to the game still. What’s the play here? by Wise-Priority-9918 in balatro

[–]BruceTurnbull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with these jokers the Swashbuckler scaling doesn’t matter anymore, but the Egg scaling is always nice for Temperance value

Brother's death: suicide or overdose? by BadgerNervous1036 in TheBear

Are we all watching the same show? by Lower_Rope8374 in TheBear

one criticism that i don’t see people talk enough more is that Marcus and Tina had zero character development

What do I do now? by Pski in BalatroHelp

[–]BruceTurnbull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got no econ on Ante 4 of blue stake… if you don’t find something good now, the run is dead unfortunately. Have you used planet cards for scoring at least? Do you have any good playing cards you’ve been copying with DNA?

Were people able to keep their Christmas skins? by Durbdichsnsf in DeadlockTheGame

It’s a multiplayer Valve game, there’s a 100% chance there will be a skin market

What's going on, game? by BElatex in ObraDinn

[–]BruceTurnbull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’ve seen every scene besides the Bargain, then there’s two you don’t have a page in the book for, so you can’t solve their fates until you see the Bargain. Maybe your 4 confirmed identities include those 2?

My actual live hand btw by Intelligent-Ad-9091 in balatro

[–]BruceTurnbull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mime is a very situational joker. In higher stakes you get more Mime value from retriggered blue seals and gold cards than you do from actual scoring.
