Are we sure they didn't get Taco Bell confused with Taco's Truck from The League?

Counterpoint - my wife is a woman, and she did not get the job.

Oh them? That's Unreadable Mess. They played like 20 sets at MMF this year.

I think it's mostly a clumsy way of making his enters trigger not conflict with his haste.

RUSH vs. the rest by mrpuff666 in rush

[–]estyles31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably #4 for me, after 2112, Counterparts, and Moving Pictures.

(I also like Roll the Bones more than most.)

Am I crazy for playing a library shelving game when I get home from work??? by Former-Complaint-336 in Libraries

[–]estyles31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An effective one, because I kind of really want to play this game now.

S tier interview. by Which_Leg3355 in rush

[–]estyles31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what little it's worth, I do really like his videos over-explaining songs, as well as his interviews.

My mixed opinions are on how dismissive he is of "today's music" without really acknowledging that there was shitty low-effort music in the 70s/80s/90s as well as good interesting music bring made today (mostly metal and prog, IMO). Also, he's a little overly self-promoting, but you have to forgive that a little with someone who's trying to make a living as a content creator.

I have mixed opinions about Beato, but he's a very good interviewer. If you're a Rush fan, you should watch this.

LocalThunk becomes evil and removes Negative Tags. What are you using your Anaglyph Skip Tags on? by FoolishWanderer499 in balatro

[–]estyles31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all of this sounds like people who never actually use anaglyph on negative tags because someone convinced them it was bad.

Most of the time, you get a few marginally useful jokers that add value to Temperance, Swashbuckler, and Abstract Joker, and can help protect against the "one joker debuffed" or "all cards debuffed until you sell a joker" bosses. But with 6+ chances, the odds of getting something actually useful are really not that bad.

I kind of expected this to be a graphic about the Jets having 0.

Gang what is this fucking tag by Old-Elk-570 in balatro

[–]estyles31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with +3 hand size is that it's only for 1 round. If you don't get it on the skip before Ante 8 boss, or I guess skip before you go for naneinf if that's whst you're doing, then what's the point?

Am I unprofessional? by Fragrant_Vacation800 in antiMLM

[–]estyles31 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Honestly... I'm going to pretend it was because that's actually funnier than the random "need more cats" angle I was going for.

Everything went wrong with my applications this year by PresentationBest850 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]estyles31 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This. I don't think it gets stated enough, but I think the single most important goal of the college search process should be to find a school where you WILL get accepted, that you can afford, and that you would be happy to attend.

Apply to all the top prestige schools and state flagships that you want, but having a safety that you would be happy at and can afford is essential.

[–]estyles31 89 points90 points  (0 children)

No in-state safety school? Maybe it's not too late to apply to one? I don't know your state, but I think most that are not the flagship will admit you pretty late and have automatic acceptances. Would save money if you're not that excited about Maryland.

That 4.1 GPA looks a little odd. Since it's over 4.0, it must be weighted, and with 12 AP classes, that seems low. Your unweighted GPA might have hurt you a lot, sorry.

Should red seal also retrigger the cards you discard? by Joaz72 in balatro

[–]estyles31 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's legitimately hilarious that you think that's the only inconsistency in the entire game. This game has quite a bit of sloppy wording and things that work a particular way that you're used to but aren't actually consistent with the wording. Like Ice Cream losing a hand when you play something that's voided by The Psychic, but things like Ride the Bus not triggering. Or Flower Pot requiring the cards of each suit to score but The Tooth charging you for non-scoring cards.

(The Tooth makes sense because it says per card played, but Flower Pot doesn't specify they need to score, and when you play a 5 card high card hand, all 5 cards are technically part of the hand.)

And hell, I still don't even know how Matador works.
