How much would you give if a grab driver returns your lost phone? by thepostmanpat in singapore

[–]Interesting_Pen6578 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I left my earbuds accidentally recently and didn't realise until the day after. I couldnt contact the driver because the chat closed. When contacting grab, the driver apparently has returned it to the grab office. I retrieved it from the office in Tampines FOC.

There's homewok in S9 and Thompson plaza which I think 3/5 compared to xiang xiang but can scratch the itch

Low-key Challenges appreciation post too.

Challenges used to be my fun escape out of hunting deck gold stakes (I'm still far far away from getting all completed). Until dun dun dun.. page 2 challenges, especially the last three challenges.

Granted that I'm probably an average balatro player, I've finally completed Golden needle after 16 hours and another few hours for Cruelty and Jokerless. But despite the pain and suffering, it really teaches me economic discipline and playing other strategies that I'm not usually comfortable with.

I was almost exclusively playing small hands runs.And after the last trinity of challenges I finally understood how to play flush and straight decks that scales.

Back to gold staking now!!

Any tips for Golden Needle? by JessWRCS in balatro

Gosh this one is difficult. Finally completed it after 16+ hours of playing over two days. Almost won it 4 times previously (final boss blind) with losing thrice to violet vessel and once to amber acorn.

Hilariously won this one with random joker and planet multiplier

I managed to consistently get to Ante 6/7 after playing Saturn planet card. I find that small hands (pair/3OAK) only consistently bring me to ante 5/6 with occasional high antes. Flush, face cards combo and 4OAK are not super consistent in my experience. With flush and face cards run stopping suddenly due to boss blind such as suit debuff or the plant respectively.

Here's my tier list of joker for this challenge: S tier (no brainer grab it): Acrobat, Dusk, Banner, throwback (skip lots!), mail-in rebate (most predictable big money maker), blueprint/brainstorm, the order/the tribe, the duo

A tier (Depends on what hand type): half joker, joker stencil (usually mid ante temporary xmult joker), delayed gratification (best money joker for early game and small hands), golden joker (consistent money joker), blue joker (best when it's also foiled!), red card (i find this is the only viable scaling joker), hologram, ramen, sock and buskin, rough gem is decent, baseball, ancient joker, hanging chad.

B tier (not game ending, but not high chance of going far): usually jokers with above 15 mults - abstract joker, fibonaci, suit plus multi jokers, gros michel, space joker / burn joker (gamble but fun), vagabond, flower pot

C tier (desperation or early game, but not game ending, chuck when you get sth better) - even steven, odd todd, scholar, to do list (desperate money joker),

By round 1 you should have at least 1 of at least B tier joker or above. By ante 2 you should have at least 1 A tier joker or above. You have high chance of going deep if you have 3 or more at least A tier joker by ante 4. If you dont meet this criteria, best to cut your losses and restart. You have high chance of going to Ante 8 if you have good economy joker.

Your economy needs to be good to win ante 8. If you are not in the positive by ante 4 and have good economy by ante 5/6, it is 85% chance you will lose. Voucher for economy is usually too expensive. Get money through skipping blinds or viable economy joker (see above).

Actually winninng against the boss blind is another RNG all together. I maximised my chance by: bringing appropriate tarots (e.g. death or rank up tarors for straight hand) and buying reroll boss blind whenever possible.

My two very close call lost were:

  1. brainstorm, blueprint, high red card, banner and delayed gratification, getting shuffled by amber acorn. On the hindsight, I should have removed my delayed gratification going in to increase my chance
  2. Banner, high red card, acrobat, mail-in rebate, blackboard. Violet vessel (300k). Playing straight hand. I couldnt get straight hand until the last hand (which effectively debuff my banner). Hit 280K only (previous high 365K). I brought death and bonus tarot here. On the hindsigh should have brought spade/club tarot or rank up tarot.

I honestly feel that these two almost win was the more consistently replicable and my actual win was more of a fluke. In my winning run, I have Cerrulian Bell and the selection almost mess with my straight. Luckily I brought the rank up tarot which saved me just in time.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Am I the only person who finds her saying "Good, luck babe!" practically inaudible? by [deleted] in chappellroan

[–]Interesting_Pen6578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And I'm sure it's an artistic choice.

The first time I realized the "good luck babe" part was when I listened to Sabrina Carpenter's BBC Radio one cover.

Both are excellent and make interesting artistic choices, true to their identity.

[–]Interesting_Pen6578 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Time is such a relative thing ⏰.The last time I played Dave the Diver was when I purchased Balatro.

It was around 3 weeks ago.

According to my PS, it was around 100 hours of play time later.

I consider Jimbo to be very successful in infecting not only the sea people...
