I know right? It's awesome that they have it for phones, it actually plays better than on console. Balatro makes time just fly by, I can start playing at 8pm and then I look up and it's 11pm.

Also kind of enjoy watching some of the Balatro videos on YouTube like Roffle, helped me to figure out how to actually win a run.

Yeah I've played it a few runs almost every evening. So far I've been able to complete a run on the red and blue decks and unlock a bunch of stuff.

It's interesting how you can stumble into a very powerful setup. Last night I won the red deck by scoring something like over 3 million points on the final blind because I managed to get a level 8 Straight -> tons of multipliers. Then I promptly lost in the endless mode when I could not repeat that kind of stacking.

It's definitely a challenge to figure out how to get your jokers to play to each other's strengths.

The first week I was like "it's impossible to win a run", then second week it seemed like I won every run "it's easy when you figure it out", now after a bunch it's completely down to timing of when you get jokers and how much money you have.

Played an hour of Oblivion. Intro feels very Bethesda. I never played the original, but yeah… i understand where Starfield came from now… its really.. reeeeealy obvious that Starfield is Oblivion in a space setting. It’s ridiculously obvious. I hated Starfield for the promise it tried to make and I couldn’t play it. But Oblivion feels genuine at least, a fantasy rpg game. A good one to. I do sense the old game under the new graphics, there’s a “old” clunky feeling that I recognize from the games 15-20 years ago.

Cool. Will revisit Oblivion later. Runs great on Xbox X.

I loved Oblivion. One of the first things I bought after I started at a real job after college was an expensive video card so I could run Oblivion on high settings on my PC. A few years later I played the heck out of it on the Xbox 360.

If it's not available on Switch 2 maybe that pushes me over the edge to get a Steam Deck.
