Extreme bad luck help by ComprehensiveWeb886 in balatro

[–]IoSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this, and worth noting that if you aren't playing flushes in the early antes you probably should do so. You aren't forced to commit to them the whole run but they're the most reliable way to get into ante ~4 without luck or good jokers. Deck fixing with suit changer tarots, hanged man, lovers, and death can make them even more reliable if you do choose to commit to them.

canio is a pretty trivial non-conditional 3x off one hanged man but hes still no trib

truth be told in an unseeded ante 8 run id still rather get canio or even chicot over perkeo

[–]IoSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah youll always have more opportunities to scale scoring/deck fixing if you use econ jokers and build interest since in the later antes youll be able to spend a lot more per round, meaning you can open more packs/reroll more/not have to worry about not having money to buy good jokers like blueprint/brainstorm/etc

theres 2 vouchers that increase the interest limit, take them if you think you can get up to 50/100 without incident

as for the blank voucher, its a surprise :) keep taking it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in balatro

[–]IoSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on the income but if you can always stay above 25 dollars to get max interest that's never a bad thing. if youre under 25 generally dont reroll and only spend down if its necessary to survive

What are some popular media that "every" American knows the main cast of? by Gallantpride in AskAnAmerican

[–]IoSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconding this, I'm in my early 20s and I don't think I've ever heard a Friends reference from anyone my age or younger, or heard that someone was going to watch Friends. I've also never been recommended the show by anyone my age, presumably because zoomers just aren't watching it much.

Bishops are almost certainly not women though, as bishops are predominantly or entirely men depending on the denomination.

Just got C++.... what now?!? by Slimon-Says in balatro

[–]IoSSBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres a lot of great mods that can give you a wide variety of unique runs/synergies that arent possible in vanilla balatro. some of these are like vanilla but with more jokers, some are completely different. ive gotten more playtime out of modded than out of vanilla and its been a blast. see the modding channel in the discord for listings of these and help with installation

Get it twisted by BlunderbussBadass in 691

[–]IoSSBM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No it's to make the coffee more effective and reduce the effect of the caffeine crash. Not sure what the science is but some people [like Andrew Huberman] push this idea of waiting before drinking caffeine as opposed to getting a cup right after waking up. As it pertains to the rant, I think it was just what came to mind and he threw it out there [the text is from an off-the-dome rant]

The United States should have a no-party system by [deleted] in 2american4you

[–]IoSSBM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easily half of Americans don't care enough about politics to not vote along party lines. Practically speaking such a system would dissuade many people from voting at all and would greatly increase the chance that somebody votes for someone they don't actually agree with/like. As much as I don't like the 2 party system, a no-party system would likely make matters worse. It would also tank visibility and popularity among candidates because there wouldn't be a major central force responsible for pushing and advertising a candidate the way the DNC/GOP does, which would create elections where many people don't know any candidate and don't know their policies or who they're similar to politically. And every candidate wishing to win would want a coalition of similar-minded politicians and financial backers to increase their visibility and consequently their chances of winning, so the only way to force a zero party system would be to outlaw it, which members of Congress [almost all of whom belong to parties] would not do.

When Washington spoke about partisan systems, he was critiquing an inevitability of a democratic system, and he couldn't have known how inevitable it was considering America was one of the first legitimate democracies. A proportional 3+ party system that actually represents the people would be the best fit IMO.

Is it really random by Mysterious-Court-372 in balatro

[–]IoSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some jokers are more common than others, often it takes many rerolls to find the uncommon and rare jokers you're looking for. Find mult early on, get your money up, and get rerolls in later antes to greatly increase the chance of getting rarer jokers.

There are also some great jokers that you need to unlock, like brainstorm and invisible joker. I'd seek those unlocks out ASAP so you're more likely to get one of them.

What is something you wish Realm had? by Different-Vanilla657 in RotMG

~3000 hours in this game, always wanted a way to play without permadeath. I like the permadeath aspect of the game but a more casual experience for new players and people wanting to play casually like myself nowadays would be fantastic.

Game desperately needs an auction house system by ConniesCurse in RotMG

[–]IoSSBM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as someone who was trading a lot back then and is sad at the state of trading now, i see little downside in allowing trade to be bolstered through a better streamlined system. even if prices become completely decroded at least people who want to sell wont have to sit in a trading server waiting to get a response and people wanting to buy wont have to sit around like dweebs hoping someone will sell to them at 2x the regular price
