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
I have more to say on Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft). Yes, I said that yesterday’s post would be the last, but it’s not. Why? Because I started watching RKG’s Retry Dark Souls II/Scholar of the First Sin (the first series they did after starting their own company), which led to me starting my own… Continue Reading
I haven’t played Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft, Elden Ring DLC) in a hot sec, so it’s been great to be able to revisit it. The more I write about it, the more I remember how truly breathtaking it was. Watching Krupa (of RKG) go through it in Lore Masterclass (additional show to their Elden… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I talked about what I liked about Shadow of the Erdtree (Elden Ring DLC, FromSoft, my GOTY), and one thing that I really didn’t like. The latter was how easy it was to fuck up the NPC questlines, which was somewhat my fault, but also the fault of the strength of the… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I revealed my actual Game of the Year, and I’m sure it was a huge surprise to exactly no one. Most of the time, I have to make up a game of the year award that I can bestow upon FromSoft because it’s not as if they have a game releasing every year. This… Continue Reading
