Just spent 21 months in prison.

Any good releases I might have missed after March 5th 2024? Already have Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Edit: forgot to mention I really enjoyed Cyberpunk before getting arrested, as well as AC: Oddysey

    Oof. I’ve played a lot of Balatro, but I finished blue stake and went “any more than this stops being fun.” Can’t imagine going all the way to gold for every deck. Is it just a completionist thing? Or is the challenge of it fun for you in moment to moment gameplay?

      For a really long time I never thought I’d do more than one gold stake. That first one was the only completionist feeling one to me.

      I later discovered Dr. Specter’s Balatro University and also watched a lot of Major League Balatro. I learned a ton and thought that maybe I’d give harder stakes another try. There’s a lot of dopamine to be had in applying theoretical knowledge to overcome something you previously thought was nearly impossible.

      Black stake is a whole other beast though. Dr. Specter himself says if you really want to beat it you should be prepared to reset over and over for hours on end.

        Sounds interesting! I’ll have to look into those, thanks for the mention! That last bit, I think, is what kills it for me at the higher stakes, I like having the POTENTIAL for victory every run. Having an occasional impossible run isn’t the end of the world, but when it’s more assured losses than potential wins, there’s a line
