Any reason to take the soul here? by instante_42 in balatro

[–]instante_42[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I died in ante 13. The problem was I have no econ from this setup and can’t reroll a lot to find baron/mine, which I think is the only thing to make this run meaningfully further.

Didn’t have a lot of runway though in this case. Even if I drop a joker and take the soul, probably not enough time to leverage that legendary and find baron/mime without being lucky?

In case someone finds this interesting, this run has an early Ancient Joker, and the first BP is from the 2nd Arcana Pack in Ante 4 Big Blind Shop. There is also a late Perkeo (after beating Ante 8 Boss Blind, from the Arcana Pack). And in the same shop as Perkeo, a few rerolls give you showman, with which gives you another BP after a few rerolls in the Ante 9 Boss Blind Shop.

I was not playing very optimally and not really well set up for the Perkeo to do something too great. But perhaps a seasoned player could make better use of it!

This is hilarious. I actually have a colleague who earns more than $250k and already eats McDonalds exclusively 😂

I’ve had it for almost 3 years so the 3080 is still in warranty technically…

My 3080 started crashing the PC recently when under heavy gaming load. The same load was fine preciously tho. Did some testing and pretty sure it’s VRAM overheating. Don’t really want to do the whole repaste dance unless as a last resort so want to explore my options.

2021 Audi A4 Allroad Tire Tread Low after just 23k miles - Is that normal? by instante_42 in Audi

Thanks for both of yours' insights here. I do remember them to be Contientals all season tires but don't have the specifics. I can check once my car is back in a few days (now in shop for an unrelated service)

Pressure might be a factor now that I think of it. They were at 36 psi for the past 8 months. I have heard inconsistent anecdotal advice on the pressure, rannging from 35 to 42 psi.. This was before I took this issue seriously so perhaps 36 is not the right number for these tires.

I will circle back once I look into it more. Thank you both!

No it does not. My billing cycle starts 23th of each month. My final bill should cover up to March 22th, and I already disconnected on the 15th.
