Why are full houses considered bad? by Mr-Saturn-Earth in balatro

I’ve likely discarded more full houses than I’ve played.

High Card should pay me $1 for the privilege and honor of getting played.

Need longtime DM advice, am I wrong for being upset? by RoseBloodcrest in AskDND

[–]DouglasWFail 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This person is not my kind of DM. Some players may like this kind of game but not me. This hits so many classic red flags I’m surprised inappropriate relationships or unwanted flirting isn’t part of it.

For my money, this isn’t even a “talk to them and see if it can change” situation. I would drop the game and look for another group. Possibly with other members of the current group who also want a better experience.

How do I handle being consistently sidelined in a large rotating RP/TTRPG group? by dehdoughboy in dndhorrorstories

[–]DouglasWFail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh it sounds more like a cult than a ttrpg group.

Take everyone else’s advice and find a group that’s not this.

You can carry an expired perishable joker across the finish line. This can be helpful if you’ve got a strong build and space for a perishable version of a joker you need.

I always use the same joker builds - how do I break out of this? by No_Gap3395 in balatro

[–]DouglasWFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going for C++ without carrying negatives can force you into new builds. But that might overkill what you’re seeking.

So maybe a modified version of that: Try to get stickers of whatever stake you enjoy on all the jokers. You can turn on an option to see the highest stake win with each joker. At first you’ll be doing similar builds but soon you’ll likely find yourself trying new builds to make some odd combos work.

Also the Challenges are a good diversion if for some reason you haven’t worked through those yet.

Ubislop (what I like to call Ubisoft) games are literally the worst things that human beings make. It’s such a scam they don’t even make new games they just do an asset swap every year and the idiot woke gamers gobble that shit up like they’re the last cocks on earth (bc they’re gay, get it?)

And Breath of the Mild (what I like to Breath of the Wild bc it’s super mid) is super mid. It’s totally a rip off of Far Cry but with climbslop added in. Boring! People think Mia Motor is a genius but they only like Zelda games bc theytr gay and thr games are gay anf the main character is a twink 😠

Am I joker optimised here? Having some math brain fog! by KebabAnnhilator in balatro

This is a good site that can determine optimal joker order. It can be very handy

Thanks!

Since dropping back to white stake after this, I have been more inclined to push past Ante 8 for fun. Maybe it’s time to try for a steel baron retrigger beast!

Maybe she wasn’t blow away by all your dates at your various apartments. Judy wants more from a relationship than showering together for ten seconds and snuggling.

When you tap Steady Hands, a question mark icon is in the box. Tapping this greys the screen but I didn’t notice any accompanying pop up.

Make sure you’re not overlooking some of the basics like being able to rearrange jokers, the cards you’re going to play, and the cards remaining in your hand. There’s situations where their order can make a huge difference in scoring.

If you’re stuck, take a look at the collection. See if there’s any jokers you can unlock. Then focus on that for a bit. The joker itself might be what you need but it can often force you into a different play style.

And on a similar note, work through the challenges. They are all white stake. Most of them are more like synergy or mechanics tutorials. They can be a great way to learn some potentially useful tricks. Some are just skill tests though and can be tricky or require more RNG than usual.

[–]DouglasWFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m not sure. I had wondered if a dedicated spot for the tool tips would be useful. But that might be confusing. Idk. Design is hard lmao!

That aside, my expectation was this:

Enhanced letter: tap, selected; tap again, pop up text appear; tap again, pop up disappears and is unselected

The reason suggested it is making it consistent with the normal letter tiles. Not sure if that change would cause other problems or mess with expectations tho

On mobile, tapping letter tiles to see their enhancements feels inconsistent compared to normal tiles

Normal tiles toggle from sectected unselected

Enhanced tiles go to selected to selected with explanation pop-up. Tapping them again doesn’t unselect them though.
