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.

    Seriously, where did this BS come from?

    The components to build a science machine in Don’t Starve don’t strike me as much stranger than those to build crafting stations in other games. In my experience, they’re often unrealistic.

    And how the hell would I know this necessary recipe without looking it up?

    Did you miss the fact that the recipe is shown in the build menu?

      Maybe it is now? I don’t believe that was present when I played years ago.

        I think you somehow missed it, mate. Here’s a screen shot from the year of its release:
