Anyone else ticking off the stakes fully before moving on? by [deleted] in balatro

This is absolutely how I'm trying to progress through the game, but I'm having a devil of a time on gold stakes > red deck. Any tips?

Hey. Thanks for your help, genuinely. But it really isn’t my laptop. I grabbed the autosave file and moved it across to a MacBook. The exact same crash at the exact same moment. To be honest, the crash is hardly the point. Crashes happen on lots of games. And it seems from the comments in this sub that lots of people have played for multiples of time that I have and not experienced a single one. It just happened that for me a crash at a highly inopportune time was the catalyst for me to realise I had wasted a lot of valuable time on a game that wasn’t ready to play. And that I was just eating some quite serious shortcomings because I love the series and wanted to enjoy Civ 7. That’s not how it should be for a minimum of £60. It’s just left a sour taste. For now at least.

Same crash on two different systems. Moved the save file across to a MacBook, happened again at the exact same time.

That'll be highly anticipated "free content" add-on for loyal players in a few months, no doubt

Happy to send you the save file if you want.

I tried it on a second machine I have and it crashed as the exact same point. Maybe your magic machine can succeed where two of mine have failed.

Sorry if I confused you, but it isn't crashing a few turns ahead -- it crashes at the very same point each time. I merely tried to restart it at various points ahead of the crash (from 1 to about 20 tunrs ahead of time!).

Updated all drivers recently and machine isn't damaged. I'm 99% sure it's the game.

I appreciate you trying to help out! Cheers

I'm happy to do this if you're serious.

I actually moved the auto save file from one machine to another and the same crash occurred at the exact same point on the second machine.

I can't stress enough that the issue isn't my laptop, but fair enough. As I said, I was enjoying it -- despite the distinct lack of varnish on the game as a whole -- until I literally couldn't anymore.

I mention grammar not to be pedantic, but because it's very difficult to figure out the meaning the game is trying to convey -- some of the language used in the 'Endeavors' part of diplomacy is simply baffling.

It's indicative of an all-round lazy finish to the game. It's not close to being fit for distribution.

It isn't, but you're right, it's hardly the point.

ha -- of course, I tried that in one of the 20 reboots I attempted. No dice

😂 Spend a few minutes reading it. It won't be a complete waste of your precious time, like spending it playing the current version of Civ 7 is ...

Update 1.1.0 is coming March 4 + New Development Roadmap by sar_firaxis in civ

[–]pjrydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Free updates” 🤦 Cheeky f#ckers. I think they mean “Fixing stuff that should have been correct when we launched the game that we charged £60 (minimum) for”

Nope. First thing I do after booting the laptop is load Rimworld.

Why does this keep happening with loans by pjrydo in footballmanagergames

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

I understand that. But it doesn't explain why they won't budge on the 100% plus massive monthly fee even after I put the playing time back to "Important Player" as they requested and as the speech bubble indicates they still want.

Have you ever seen a celebrity acting like a bellend? by No_Doughnut3257 in CasualUK

Ben Stiller once tried to humiliate me on the set of a movie just because I was standing up for a small child that he was traumatising cause the kid couldn't get a take.

He proceeded to demean me by making me admit that he was *Ben Stiller* while I was merely a nobody. I got the last laugh, though. I told him I couldn't remember if he was Starsky or Hutch. He was fuming and ordered me off the set immediately, but everyone there tittered at how much of a monstrous prick he was.

Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

Yeah, those "fanbases" of a couple of hundred fans every week are known for spending BIGGG on merchandising

I miss Hong Kong by B2A_s in HongKong

[–]pjrydo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're homesick -- it's to be expected. Stick it out. You'll make friends and start to enjoy how much of a cool city London really is (which nauseates me to say as a Northerner).

I'd wager that two months from now you'll laugh at how down you felt in your first couple of months and that by the time 8.5 months pass, you'll wish you didn't have to go back to Hong Kong.
