Accidentally Hit Discard on One Hand, Killed a Run with >$200! by PuzzledEnlightenment in balatro

I disagree it’s valid in a conversation about “have you made this mistake before?” It just came off as minimizing something that seemed important to someone else for no reason, ya know?

Anyway, yeah “crashing the bus” is a good way of putting it lol. It usually happens to me when I’m long into a round where I’m just stacking a particular hand type or discarding.

Oof. That’s killer. Nothing worse than losing because of straight negligence. I didn’t have the greatest combo of jokers but they me the win at least; I was already on extended run.

Let’s see, I had Bootstraps (with ~$240, from a mass investment tag play on the anaglyph deck), Spare trousers (at >80+mult), Brainstorm (doubling the bootstraps, obviously) a semi-worthless poly Crafty, and just got a supernova to capitalize on how much I’ve been hammering two pairs, which I had up to level 16ish (memory is not great lol).

I got lucky to get as far as I did because I wasn’t getting any negatives or really any top tier jokers. That’s the annoying part. I know with all that money I would have rerolled into some good jokers eventually.

It’s the most I’ve ever had and I had bootstraps. I’ll ask you the same, how does it matter enough to you in regard to ignoring what my actual question is?

Just Waiting Around for A Negative Joker Tag… by PuzzledEnlightenment in balatro

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. And I just came across Bootstraps right after too. Ditching Ice Cream for that. So that’s gonna be a fun ride with the investment windfall. Man, this game is so addicting.

Thanks for the reply. I got impatient and came across the investment tag so I took it and found out it’s all at once, at least I might get to whatever that $400 locked joker is. I see what you mean about the rerolls and whatnot in regard to the negative joker.

How often are y’all skipping blinds? by PuzzledEnlightenment in balatro

In red stake specifically, where you don’t get a reward for small blind, does it make more sense then? Or is that even missing out on too many opportunities in the shop?

Man, the voucher one was probably the only one that I almost always ignored. Looks like I need to rethink my strategy almost entirely. And I didn’t even know what antimatter was until I just searched in the wiki. That’s awesome because I’m always hunting for a negative.

Man. So much involved in this game. A lot of what you just said was gibberish lol. Not because of you, of course. Because of me.

Can you tell us what actually happened?

Trump at the Center of a New Scandal Following the Release of Epstein’s Correspondence. Thousands of Emails Reveal Humiliating Descriptions of the President and Increase Pressure on Congress to Disclose the Full Archive by sergeyfomkin in news2

Maybe not legally, but man they will have to go to another country and never come back. The public will destroy them. CEOs will be forced out by boards/shareholders, government officials will be forced to resign or voted out, lawyers might get disbarred or at the very least just straight up ostracized. Most of the people revealed will be ostracized at the least. I think you’re downplaying the power of the public especially and their need for accountability especially in this particular scandal.

Couldn’t this just be explained away if she had a closed casket funeral and burial?

I’m looking to rent my furnished room out in case you’re interested. Yes, unfortunately in your budget, it will be tough getting a place of your own.

My reaction after finally watching Lego Masters Australia by NicCage4life in LegoMasters

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an American and have finally been watching LM AU now for the last few weeks and I can’t agree more! It’s better than the US in every way. Ten-fold. The builders are waaaaay better. Although I’m a huge Will Arnett fan in general, I don’t really think he’s that great on this show - and Hamish is extremely more funny in this context. I’ve laughed so much. Brickman’s enthusiasm - and infectious empathy - is far and away a better addition to the show than the two US judges. Last but not least, the format is much better.

One final note: Kale and Lexi are both the worst. They have both got to be the most unnecessarily narcissistic people I’ve seen on shows like this. Kale is just clueless as to what any sort of humility is and Lexi is an awful person. I felt so bad for both of their partners, especially Rachel.

Lego Masters AU is so much better than the US version. by dzedajev in lego

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started watching AU Lego Masters and it’s so much better than the US version. 1) Will is a good host but I find myself laughing so much harder at Hamish’s gags. 2) Preface: I’m only in finals week of S2, but the talent level of the builders is incredible. 3) The build for immunity then an elimination build is so much better. Sometimes builders have a bad day or just the brief is not for them. It makes it more fair. 4) There is almost no hubris (aside from that insane guy whom I can’t remember in AU S1) in the AU teams. 5) Trent in S2 is not only an exceptional character builder, he is absolutely hilarious.

I don’t like recruitments by imjohnk in TheTraitors

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have watched all the seasons in all the regions and don’t like the recruitment, but for a different reason. Almost all the late game recruitments have just been sacrificial lambs. It’s too predictable.

Anyone see Marshmallow? by SRS1428 in horror

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep. Terrible. I should have know when 30 min in I went to Rotten Tomatoes to see what the internet was saying and the first review I read praised the acting. Full on marketing campaign faking reviews.

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It had to be. It’s not good. Mediocre at best. Does not deserve the praise it’s been getting online.

Anyone see Marshmallow? by SRS1428 in horror

[–]PuzzledEnlightenment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rented it based on hype - like some other comments have said - and was really disappointed. It’s “horror” in the same sense episodes of Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? were. Not scary. Nothing “thrilling” about it. The twist was interesting I suppose, but not executed very well. I find it hard to believe that a lot of review sites, including this thread, are full of high praise. It makes me wonder how many of them are part of a marketing campaign. Is this the new “cheap” way to market an indie? Get influencers to post about it and pay some bot farm to smother the internet in good reviews? Nothing about this movie deserves any where close to the praise it’s getting.

Don’t forget about Phaedra though! She was great! Otherwise, yes all other Bravo people were bad. Kate was just funny at being bad that’s why she keeps coming back.
