I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.
And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”
I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.
Ark raiders. It was fun first, dropping randomly and going into abandoned buildings to loot stuff and watch out for any machines but after I played the next mission with friends, I died, lost my whole equipment (I was happy for having a nice weapon with some mods), I realized that you lose everything when you die. The other players just immediately shooting at us the next mission didn’t help at all. Never touched the game again and uninstalled it right afterwards.
It’s just too frustrating. The items I loot can also be collected from a chicken in the base so there’s no need to play the game at all.
