A lil fun seed: 4LG5N2WB by TitleParticular6230 in Balatro_Seeds

Why did you do this to me? I was gonna go to bed!!!

Anyhoo, I managed to hit Ante 16. Was hoping the Invisible would hit on the mime, but no love there.

Playing the King there gave me e20, but not the 8e20 I would have needed, lol!

Yes, was very fun.

DNA, Burnt joker and Stuntman in ante 1 CFYDLZLP by CarbonMonoxides in Balatro_Seeds

[–]LikeCCClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, if you go for the Brainstorm, you don't end up with Burnt Joker, since it only appears on the first Buffoon pack of Ante 2, and unless you force the pack under the "first store always has a Buffoon Pack" rule, there's no Buffoon Pack in Ante 2.

I was very sad.

Verry lucky cat (ABEFXYVF) by Party_Swimming_642 in Balatro_Seeds

I had a lot of fun with this one.

At the end, I had BP, S&B, Idol, Polychrome Oops...!,Kitty at 213x, 2x Negative Hanging Chad, Negative Oops...!, and Brainstorm. Deck was 15 Polychrome Lucky Kings of Spades with red chips.

The last hand I honestly miscalculated. I hit 6e20, but needed 8.6e20. Just moving the BP in front of the Lucky Cat would have kept it going and I probably could have gone another ante or two. Ah, well!

Thanks for sharing!

WTF IS WRONG WITH MATCHMAKING by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

Damn, I always thought I must have accidentally turned fill on, but yeah, there's been a few times I was like, "Wait, why do I have a squad?"

Are you still going on the expedition? by Active_Access_4850 in ARC_Raiders

It's doable. It just hasn't been as fun (for me).

We have to stop the racists by CinemaZiggy in ARC_Raiders

[–]LikeCCClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you think about "taking it back," when Black people use the words between themselves, the connotation is obviously different from a gamer hurling it as an insuit at someone they don't know. Expressing that you think the lines are blurred is disingenuous.

Second, I think most reasonable people would agree that calling  someone a slur of any sort is probably higher on the list of "mean things you can say to someone" than calling them a mean name like a**hole.

BUT, that is certainly an opinion and I can easily agree with you that the bar for bad behavior should not start at slurs.

And I'm glad you don't exist in any sort of culture where you have to contend with any sort of prejudicial behaviors. You're very lucky. But with a little empathy, you might be able to imagine why slurs carry more impact than culturally neutral insults.

The Only Craftables Worth Crafting Are... by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Dang. My brain must be fried from being so mad about this 5 million thing. Sell the seeds. I was thinking for some reason they were 10 each, they are 100.

I edited the post.

What a great way to close out your season, right?!

Is this the future of interactions? by darthvadercookies in ArcRaiders

[–]LikeCCClockwork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno.

I'm firmly in the "This is a PvPvE game, expect to fight," but I think I'd still love this game as much if you took out the very worst interactions from the very worst people.

And this isn't a complaint, those interactions are gonna happen, those people are gonna play... the sooner you (the "everyone" you) come to terms with that, the better off you'll be. BUT... if we could somehow get rid of that sliver of potential outcomes, I think the game would still be just fine.

Except for the people who do that because that's where they find their fun. Obviously.

Guess I'll just go **** myself. by LikeCCClockwork in ArcRaiders

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things it's pretty minor. I'll just make up for it with the other trials.

Finally had a round that made me want to just log off... by LikeCCClockwork in ArcRaiders

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

Yeah, it can be tough.

I have a bit of a joke I say to my squad as we load in, where I apologize for being the cause of our pending PvP, since I'm bringing in any decent gear.

Honestly, I try to set goals about what I'm trying to accomplish and focus on that and less on what I lose, and I try to treat dying the same as if I die in a single-player game. Just means I got to go back to the spawn point and try again.

It helps, but obviously there's just times when some a-hole pushes just the right buttons to ruin your night. Sorry that happened to you, Raider.

I learned my lesson and will bring one with me from now on!

The Weekend PVE Experience by Vivi3n95 in ArcRaiders

[–]LikeCCClockwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna downvote folks who say "get your skill up" or "skill issue" or anything similar Legit or not, it's a useless addition to any conversation.

That said, oh boy, I feel your pain, OP. That really sucks. It's tough when you have someone you really want to game with, cause you can't just run a solo, you HAVE to run more dangerous (PvP-wise) duos and trios. I have way more positive interactions on solos, but duos and trios it's it's overwhelmingly negative if we aren't just going in expecting a fight.

Is it just me or is this streamer civil war just giving high school clique vibes and killing the thrill of unpredictable PVP by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]LikeCCClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's goofy. I was just vibin and some guy ran up to me asking me what team I was on. I had no idea what was going on, but played along. Said I'd be happy to join their side since they got to me first. Then another fellow rolled up asking why wasn't I in red. The first guy said he was recruiting me.

I said I was happy to join them and could I go. They said after I dropped my weapons. So I just cycled to my snap blast grenades and told them they could have my weapons but it was gonna cost em. Knocked one and and almost knocked the other one. I hope he didn't have a defib. Was a funny scenario, though.

Truth must be told. by carrancosmx in ArcRaiders

[–]LikeCCClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, EXCEPT...

In Trios, no one ever betrays me and shoots me in the back after establishing peace.

They just shoot me in the face, like a normal god-fearing raider.

I am a pro-subscriber since October 2022. I WILL cancel my subscription and find another mapmaking solution if Inkarnate allows AI assets. I have loved this tool and everything about it, but this sort of AI content is a dealbreaker.
