I love Balatro, but it is absolutely uncanny how if a suit or type of card is debuffed in a round then your starting hand will have AT LEAST four of that kind of card.
I suppose it’s proper if a game about building the best cheating deck also cheats back.

In the 90’s Nine Inch Nails did a remix of “Eraser” that had the vocal track slowed down, but if you used the CD player’s scan forward function the vocal played at normal speed.
People these days miss out on stuff like that. See also: tracks hidden before the first track.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

As a longtime player of Call of Cthulhu and other cosmic horror games, it never fails to weird me out when the term “sanity check” is used in a business setting.
I mean, business is definitely its own cosmic horror, but it always causes an out of context error in my head.

Well, I can’t wait to hear the reasoning when my investor-owned water utility raises rates again because of this.
My favorite in the past was “you conserved too much water when the governor ordered it, so we have to raise your rates again.”
Anyway, this is great news and IOU’s are still terrible.
