The first portion (pre best friend falling asleep) was annoying since player character was so guarded and not willing to express them self, picked up when Erika gave player character a chance to express them self and also went the distance to get the staffs clarification about the bath policy. Really felt like the writers put a ton of their attention and care and did a stellar job with that conversation. Erikas no labels outlook and her sharing that its hard to fit into high school even for someone that seems like a socialite like her was interesting

Okay do it now with eternal rental only because whenever I pick free joker for some reason I have to pay 3 dollars every round I have it.
@haruzuluxАй бұрын
Hmmm so gold stakes, with only eternal rentals. That sounds quite difficult, but interesting. I can give it a try sometime, though, I might just have to make that rental without selling any I buy just because eternal rentals are decently rare and at gold stakes it's really hard to go a really long time without any jokers. But yeah, rental makes you pay $3 each round even if you got the joker for free. Going to need a ton of econ creation for this challenge as even 5 jokers at rental will be $15 a round cost lol.

So how much weight do you put into reviews in choosing which indie games to buy.

While there aren't a ton of mainstream reviews for indie games, most get a number of smaller reviewers or steam reviews. I will often glance at those, but a lot of time I will just spend a decent chunk of time looking at video before I decide to buy one. A number I also just end up getting from bundles after the fact that I looked at and thought looked interesting but didn't pick up yet. There are a ton of indie games that come out each month anymore, and my budget and time really says that I can only get a few a month. Even if they are in general decently cheaper than bigger games they still add up. But I still love looking at all the creativity and discovering games to care about and talking about them with people.

The only one that really is changed with co op is rabbit and steel but that should be playable single player as well.

Finally got to the end, and spoilers on the ending incoming I feel that the video does its job well as a tutorial and demonstrates that RNG is very much a thing. It shows you can get the score needed for the usual targets of 100,000 with consistent results and common jokers quite effectively, and even beat that amount by a wide margin. I get the sense that you were worried about having a tutorial on beating the black deck that showcased a run that didn't beat the black deck. As other commenters have noted repeatedly, this tutorial helped them beat the black deck because this taught them how it can be done, even if you personally on this specific run got the worst final boss you could roll save perhaps the one disabling your spade suit. You were also handicapping due to the common joker extra requirement. But this run didn't feature usage of extraordinary jokers or extraordinary luck, and generally beats the black deck nine times out of ten, which is what we want to see. Consistency, as much as possible in a game where bad rolls happen. This teaches all those fundamentals and indeed, usually wins. That's what is most important and helpful, and it's appreciated. A good lesson is also that you can do everything right and still get the RNG that kills your run, that's part of having a game with RNG results that swing so wildly in your favor and against you in turn. Learning that you can do everything mostly right and still get the bad luck is part of the game, and meeting and exceeding the 100,000 they usually need is an achievement all on its own that will certainly lead to victory on additional attempts. Which is the encouragement folks need if this kind of bad luck happens to them. Future runs obviously won't be a waste of time if theyre already hitting the end goal target consistently.

Hitting Violet sucked, but made for a more dramatic finish and then yeah... I did feel a little bad about how it ended but I felt it still showcased what I wanted and if I had hit any other boss it would've been fine. I do want to add that the ante 8 bosses are all their own little pool and there are only 5 of them. (Descriptions taken from Balatro Wiki) Amber Acorn - Flips and shuffles all Joker cards - 100k goal on white stakes Verdant Leaf - All cards debuffed until 1 Joker sold - 100k goal on white stakes Crimson Heart - One of your Jokers is disabled on every hand. (Only one Joker is disabled at a time.) - 100k goal on white stakes Cerulean Bell - The Blind forces 1 random card in your hand to be selected, at all time - 100k goal on white stakes Violet Vessel - Extremely large blind - 300k goal on white stakes. Any of the others would've been fine, but breaking 300k with just common jokers is tricky but not impossible. I just realized I never actually edited in the proper win against the black deck I did right after recording this. I should do that.

Very well done tutorial, you're moving at a nice pace and we can always pause for the on screen text portions. You're doing a very nice job explaining things in a way that's actually helpful to new players. Plenty of people are making Balatro content, some of it geared toward experienced players who are going for the highest possible scores, some going towards a general audience, some for newer players. Of the content for newer players, nothing I've found so far is better than this content. This one video is worth anyone's time if they fit the category of a newer to average experience player, especially if they are indeed struggling with the black deck. Thanks for making this tutorial, even as a stand alone video I'd advise non-subscribers to stop in and watch it in full and bless it with likes and whatnot. I see you've made more balatro content and it's worth subscribing and investigating all that just from the quality of this one alone. This video specifically helped me understand the ordering of cards in a played hand, I'd already mostly understood the ordering of the jokers for their bonuses, but not completely it seems. I hadn't considered to put the cards that can give multiplicative mult at the end of the hand like you should with jokers, since more commonly I'm not even playing cards that multiply mult, and additive stuff doesn't much matter order-wise. That tutorial on ordering the cards in your hand so the joker that triggers face cards applied at the end, where it would score more, was a bit of finesse my own play was lacking.
@haruzulux3 ай бұрын
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm not strictly a Balatro content creator, and I never expected to make something quite like this when I started the game. However, I love the game, and I spend a lot of time trying to help players get better at the game. I noticed plenty of people explaining the basics, and plenty of people explaining advanced tactics, but nothing really in the middle, and learning all the little things in the middle helps so much in Balatro. This video actually started out as a tips and tricks video that after much internal debate this was the most logical structure I could come up with to help teach most of the tips and tricks. I could've made a list and gone through them, I mean, I did have a list I started with, but I know I struggle to retain information that way. One thing I noticed, a lot of players that struggled to win had a mindset of was that they needed good jokers to win. I could tell them that wasn't true, but just telling someone that rarely works. So, that's why I eventually came up with, and play tested way more than you saw in this video, playing with just common jokers. I figured if I showed playing with just common jokers, then someone would see that if I can win with common jokers they could win with these tactics using the full set of jokers. I'm always really glad when this video helps people out. I will also mention that I do have plans for future Balatro content, but I can't promise how quickly it will come out. Not only do I need to fit it around the other stuff I'm working on, but while I don't mind uploading my fun runs with some commentary I figure I should focus on making videos with a bit more to say. That being said I have been playing with the experimental patch quite a bit, and like my recently posted Vampire video there are a few spots of the patch I will likely want to highlight.

Plenty of people are making Balatro content, some of it geared toward experienced players who are going for the highest possible scores, some going towards a general audience, some for newer players. Of the content for newer players, nothing I've found so far is better than this content. This one video is worth anyone's time if they fit the category of a newer to average experience player, especially if they are indeed struggling with the black deck. Thanks for making this tutorial, even as a stand alone video I'd advise non-subscribers to stop in and watch it in full and bless it with likes and whatnot. I see you've made more balatro content and it's worth subscribing and investigating all that just from the quality of this one alone. This video specifically helped me understand the ordering of cards in a played hand, I'd already mostly understood the ordering of the jokers for their bonuses, but not completely it seems. I hadn't considered to put the cards that can give multiplicative mult at the end of the hand like you should with jokers, since more commonly I'm not even playing cards that multiply mult, and additive stuff doesn't much matter order-wise. That tutorial on ordering the cards in your hand so the joker that triggers face cards applied at the end, where it would score more, was a bit of finesse my own play was lacking.
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm not strictly a Balatro content creator, and I never expected to make something quite like this when I started the game. However, I love the game, and I spend a lot of time trying to help players get better at the game. I noticed plenty of people explaining the basics, and plenty of people explaining advanced tactics, but nothing really in the middle, and learning all the little things in the middle helps so much in Balatro. This video actually started out as a tips and tricks video that after much internal debate this was the most logical structure I could come up with to help teach most of the tips and tricks. I could've made a list and gone through them, I mean, I did have a list I started with, but I know I struggle to retain information that way. One thing I noticed, a lot of players that struggled to win had a mindset of was that they needed good jokers to win. I could tell them that wasn't true, but just telling someone that rarely works. So, that's why I eventually came up with, and play tested way more than you saw in this video, playing with just common jokers. I figured if I showed playing with just common jokers, then someone would see that if I can win with common jokers they could win with these tactics using the full set of jokers. I'm always really glad when this video helps people out. I will also mention that I do have plans for future Balatro content, but I can't promise how quickly it will come out. Not only do I need to fit it around the other stuff I'm working on, but while I don't mind uploading my fun runs with some commentary I figure I should focus on making videos with a bit more to say. That being said I have been playing with the experimental patch quite a bit, and like my recently posted Vampire video there are a few spots of the patch I will likely want to highlight.
Looks interesting!
