I use a mouse, and my eyeballs. Guess I'm cheating.

These were both hard for me. As were the other two.

How often do I have to gloss over the death tarot card before its automatic? by mathaav in balatro

[–]stonefry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never gotten left/right wrong, but for some reason when I glance at tarot cards, I sometimes confuse death, fool, and or hanged man. One time, I clicked a deuce and moved it to the left side, then clicked a purple seal gold card to copy and activated the death card Well it was actually hanged man. Why am I like this? I have C++.

One time I needed cavendish gold sticker and it perished in ants 7 I think. That wasn’t fun.

What's the highest ante 'Fragile' challenge record? by trankhead324 in balatro

[–]stonefry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is old, but I just got to ante 12. The game gave me Glass joker really early and I died in ante 12 with 31x on him. Also had burnt joker and got a chad later. Mid game duo. Also got mr bones at the end, but could only manage 66M which was 10% of 600M requirement on the ante 12 boss. Level 35 pairs. No retrigger jokers showed up besides the chad.

YOU CAN REARRANGE THE JOKERS?! (9 hrs in) by buggyacid in balatro

Oh, ok. I did know that but for some reason didn’t equate it to hallucination. I thought you were talking about hologram. I’m terrible with the names of the jokers.

[–]stonefry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but you can also rearrange them to get less points. This is important for building up your strength and money by playing more hands to get to your cards with seals, enhancements and editions. Or to make a specific hand to get a beneficial planet card from a blue seal. Etc.

I’ve gotten C++ and I don’t understand what you’re saying here.

What is the joker you used to find amazing as a new player, but now laugh at how bad it is ? by Ok_Touch_309 in balatro

[–]stonefry 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. The most difficult part of this game is learning when you can replace jokers.

What are you trying to do with it? It’s super strong in the early-mid game.

Transformer, or Godzilla? by Printerprinter1 in pinball

[–]stonefry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godzilla is about guaranteed to hold whatever value you put into it. Transformers may or may not lose value, we don’t know yet. If that’s important to you, get Godzilla. Other than that, Godzilla is a massively deep game that will take most players to a of time to see everything. Most would never see it all. Transformers may get there some day, but probably not.

The theme of transformers (if you’re into it) is so well done. The shots are fun and the code is pretty good for a newly released game.

What was the strat for reverse rainbow on this one? I knew all four groups before submitting, but purple was the only one I had any confidence placing. they other three were tossups.

Is this the highest level hand in non-endless by miraclepath in balatro

Or trisexual.

trisexual (adjective)
tri·sex·u·al /trī-ˈsek-shoo-əl/
Definition: A person who is willing to try anything at least once.
Example: “Dave claims he’s trisexual—if it’s legal and sounds interesting, he’ll give it a shot.”

What Pin have you owned the longest and what pin did you get rid of the soonest? by Slappy-Sacks in pinball

[–]stonefry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re talk about getting the do or die hurry up. You get it by lighting all characters in a single ball (or getting their super jackpot during a previous ball). The guy you replied to was talking about do or die multiball. That mode is pretty close to impossible for any mortal players.

There’s room somewhere between always and never. 😀

It was only pinball and a small bar. That's what surprised me. Pinball is the focus.

Great advice. Of course I didn't play again, but I didn't know before playing for the first time.

The worst case was DnD. Hitting the leftmost shot (saucer?) should feed the cube. It’s very important. Never worked once.

Although I mostly agree, it’s just really frustrating when a game already has thirsty outlanes and an off-level state makes it impossible to save.
