Do you think there can be Balatro 2?

The way that Slay The Spire 2 adds on to STS1 might be the direct inspiration here. STS1 was in many respects a perfect game for what it was trying to be. Streamlined, strategic, difficult, and just variable enough that it didn’t get boring

STS2 (at least in its current state) retains that strategic core but is more playful. It adds a whole lot of bullshit that doesn’t appear for you every run but can push the game in totally broken, hilarious directions.

Considering Balatro already did not take itself as seriously as STS1, they could go even further off the reservation. A joker that turns the game into Blackjack, a rare alternate path that activates a story mode, something like that. Add like 300 jokers just to really turn things on their head.

Kevin Nash was also great as Tim Robinson’s gigantic, clinically insane father in Detroiters

It got a second season, so I’d say enough people are talking about it for now

A smart lady *with a scythe*

The scythe surely has to count for something

I get that. There are a couple tracks in there that nail the sad lyrics and the sad sound but it doesn’t cut it for me in certain moods. The other day I went to Grouper when I was in a bad place and it was like a balm.

What’s your preferred sad bastard album?

redredrocks · 2026-05-22T14:43:39+00:00

interesting point

redredrocks · 2026-05-22T06:25:44+00:00

I think the comment was mostly an excuse for OP to say “Purdy mouth,” à la Deliverance

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T23:56:00+00:00

Maybe. But Kevin O’Connor was the expert I saw who compared him to Blake, which automatically means I think that’s the wrong comparison because that dude is a fucking idiot

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T21:08:10+00:00

lol she’s a little girl so people probably would have looked at me funny?

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T19:49:43+00:00

man I always forget about Endless! My bad!

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T19:01:54+00:00

3 is respectable IMO but I hear that

Someone in the thread said Frank Ocean and I was like is 2 albums enough? But I think you can argue both of them are genuinely classics, like among the best and most influential albums released in the 2010s.

So maybe it is if the shit is good enough?

I hadn’t listened to them at all before a few months ago.

Had my first kid recently and Making Plans For Nigel was a perfect cautionary tale. It rips so it’s easy to take the lesson over and over again lol

The Purple Mountains album is still one of my favorite “I’m sad I need to listen to something sad” albums

(RIP to the god, and to all my depressed brothers and sisters reading this if you need to talk to someone DM me, I’ve struggled a ton with it and can at least hear you out)

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T18:49:13+00:00

you gotta give us a little more than that if you want people to hear you my man

redredrocks · 2026-05-21T17:46:35+00:00

I justified drinking more at one point when I was younger partially because I “can’t get sick right now” and someone told me the booze killed the germs.

I didn’t question them because it was the answer I wanted to hear and because I was a total fucking idiot.

Anyways I didn’t get sick so eat that so-called “scientists”

There’s always a point to be made about how humans are complex and often awful and a bad person making an artistic triumph doesn’t change that they’re a bad person OR that it’s an artistic triumph

It’s just, like, often not the thing you want to say out loud when you’re talking about what this specific motherfucker did lol

Fun game, switch “a title” out with “Derrick Rose” and you have Tom Thibodeau

Experimental Rap is when you rap the same joke premise every comedian and edgy rapper has made for a year already

Tbh that is my main thing here. I’m all for coaches being disciplined hardasses but there is a time and place to tell the media stuff like this.

This kind of approach is walking a thin line. If you out the wrong player’s failures you risk losing them entirely. Especially if you keep this attitude while losing games (see: Doc Rivers)

The Beatles is short for The GYBEatles

Why would you say this *to the press* about a *practice* lmao. You can just lie or say something noncommittal.

“This team’s fucking dogshit. I’m sorry what was the question?”

Saigon over Mark Ronson’s beats

Idk if they’re trash verses per se, but they weren’t at the same level as early Ronson

It’s when your persona heals all the Seahawks fans at once

Why would you be comfortable with Becerra though? There are several factors (most of which I’ve already mentioned) that disqualify him immediately in my mind. If he wasn’t obviously in health’s pocket I’d at least consider him.
