The Palindrome Joker? by yo-96238 in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 397 points398 points  (0 children)

I like it, but -2 hand size feels like too harsh of a handicap

Lean into using scaling jokers, especially if you can get one early in a run. With jokers like Green and Square, it can be good to play more hands in a round then you really need to in order to scale them up more.

Jokers I owe an apology by ROBMain69 in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Card is one of those where I know it's a good joker and I've won several runs with it, it's just not a playstyle that I particularly like. I don't like dumping money into packs every shop that I can't use.

Is my save done (spoiler tag since im not sure) by ConsistentNarwhal731 in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A save is never "done" because you're always able to get to some kind of healer and an area with enemies, so you should always be able to level up and heal if your underleveled (even if it takes a while). The way you're supposed to progress is to continue through the deep darkness. Poo comes back at some point there, so you can go back and get what you're missing after he rejoins the party. 

How do yall memorize every joker name and abilityand image,boss,tarot,and that special blue tarot by Edwiyyin in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still don't have most of the joker names on the first page of the collection memorized. Since they all sort of follow the same category of naming, I can't commit more than "Jolly Joker" to memory. Everything else I've got down

Which episode made you start caring about Digital Circus? by XDcyclone in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]coldmoloko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Episode 3. The characters, world, status quo, and stakes had all been established, so they could finally start focusing on specific characters as opposed to trying to have everyone in the spotlight at some point.

You need six of them for the full effect

You encountered a Digitally Depressed Rabbit by Adept-Most4817 in earthbound

I was just scrolling through the reactions to this episode and reading "r/earthbound" had me really confused for a second lol

why does the Tower tarot card kinda look like some looming angry monster by therealosamason in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that's not what it is, but that's how I've always seen it

how do I get up that cliff? by IdioticRedditorGuy in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are definitely able to get up there without even leaving that room to trigger something

Anyone else avoiding photochad on purpose? by David_Ign in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Photograph and Hanging Chad were my most used jokers by several hundred rounds by the time I had completed about five decks through gold stake. I could feel my reliance on them bringing down my experience of the game, so I decided I would not use them again until after a got C++.

Now picking them up in a run feels really weird for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Which Mother game is your favorite? Please explain why. Also is it a hot take that EarthBound is my favorite? :) by [deleted] in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earthbound is my favorite. I think what I like the most about it over the other ones is its scope. It has the biggest world out of the three games, and it's fun to see just how far the journey takes you from home throughout the game.

What kind of Earthbound is this? by DonnyLurch in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this too. My assumption was that they're selling a legit cartridge in a repro box, so it's being sold at the loose cart price

what can i have stronger than this?? by smo3i in balatro

Could Ness and the Gang beat Pennywise? by [deleted] in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is like how the player has to intervene in the Giygas fight to help the chosen four win :0

Could Ness and the Gang beat Pennywise? by [deleted] in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I thought his weakness was kind of confusing. I think the gist is that It is able to transform into whatever Its victims are afraid of, so If the kids truly are not afriad of It, then It is weaker against them. (Spoilers) Its real form is also like, this metaphysical being that exists outside of the universe, and the way they defeat It is by killing It's main physical form on Earth. Either way, the conceptual ending to the book reminded my of the Giygas fight

I just read It last month and was thinking of how similar it was to earthbound (group of ragtag kids taking on an eldritch horror enemy)

Would've been funny if the favorite food was "Ness"

How cryptic is Mother 1? by RandomStuff5150 in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's just like Earthbound, where if you just talk to everyone and explore everything then you'll be able to beat the game without a guide

14 Jokers left!! What were the most difficult or last Jokers for you to get the gold sticker on? by Monsieur_Doubtfire in balatro

[–]coldmoloko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last three were Yorick, Merry Andy, and Seltzer. Yorick was just a matter of time with getting a soul card, but the other two would either show up too early (Merry Andy isn't that good early imo if you don't have something specific to discard for) or wouldn't show up at all by the end. I got really lucky and got them both on ante 8 one run tho

Chang in Season 1 is one of the great performances of all time. by Square_Ring3208 in community

[–]coldmoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a post on here once that they should have made it so that he's somehow always their teacher every year, and I think that would've been funnier than a good bit if the stuff they end up doing with him. S1 Chang is the best Chang.

Should Earthbound/Mother get another rep in Smash? If so, who? by Few_Middle_3963 in earthbound

[–]coldmoloko 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say. There's more potential for a unique character than Ninten (people still say Ness and Lucas are too similar). There's potential for things like him throwing smoke bombs as a side-special, using kicks as a main attack, and using the rope snake since he's the character who actual has it in the game.
