At this point, I’m just amused by my neverending review of Balatro (LocalThunk). We all know that I will write another post about Balatro at some point because that is how I do. In fact, I am going to write one now and give my completely arbitrary rating for this game. I explained my rating… Continue Reading
Yes, I’m back with part five of my ‘final’ review of Balatro (LocalThunk). Today, I have been grinding out the Big Hands achievement (getting 80 cards in a deck), and I haven’t geotten close. Well, I have gotten maybe 70 once? There are not as many useful tips when I Google as there were for… Continue Reading
Ok. I promise that this is the last post about Balatro (LocalThunk)*. In the last post, I talked about the grindiness of playing for higher stakes wins and *SPOILER* chasing my white whale, Stuntman (the last joker I needed to complete my deck). Now, I’m trying to do two of the last five achievements I have–well, one of… Continue Reading
I’m back for my fourth and definitely last post about Balatro (LocalThunk). I am sure I will be able to get everything I want to say written in this poist .Easy-peasy! (That’s sarcasm in case you can’t tell, given that this is the fourth post on the subject.) And, of course, there will be *SPOILERS*… Continue Reading
I still have things to say about Balatro (LocalThunk), so this is the (probably) last post on the game. In the last post, I mentioned that I knew the game was deep, but I was having more and more dissatisfaction with how deep the game was. I mentioned that it took actual days to get… Continue Reading
I’m here to talk more about Balatro (LocalThunk) and when the joy started seeping out of the game for me. At the end of the last post, I talked about how you get the Legendary Jokers and how soul-sucking it was for me to get the last two. When I alked people in the RKG… Continue Reading
I have put countless hours into Balatro (LocalThunk). Seriously. I don’t want to even look at how many hours because then I would have to acknowledge that it took over my life for several weeks. I took a break from it when I was getting stuck on–oh. *SPOILERS* Orange Stake. Or maybe earlier. This was… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was writing this and that, not with any real focus. But it was about Taiji, mostly. And, yes, I will be writing more about it again. I have said before that I am a mix of regulated and free-wheeling. This is evident with my Taiji practice, too. I do the same… Continue Reading
In my last post, I veered into the territory of FromSoft games as I was talking about Taiji because it was a comparison to something that I loved that did not love me in return. It’s also a reason as to why I love FromSoft games, I do not like most soulslikes. So many soulslikes… Continue Reading
More about Taiji (and maybe Bagua. We’ll see). In yesterday’s post, I highlighted some of the differences between Taiji and Bagua. Today, I want to talk about my love for Taiji because I can. And because it’s deep. And it’s one thing I love that actually loves me back. I’m not talking about people–there are… Continue Reading
