Where can I report this for drug promotion?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Our society will crumble once this gets on mobile.

[-] Naz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

What, is the game really that good?

Card games have never appealed to me personally

[-] sag@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

It's not a normal card game.

[-] loobkoob@kbin.social 3 points 2 months ago

As someone who doesn't care for card games or poker: yes, it's really that good!

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Plays pretty well with steam link, but yeah, I’ll be in line for the mobile version as well.

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Check out Slice & Dice if you need a new drug. I still think Balaltro is ultimately better

[-] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's harder than Drugs. Only powerful person can handle this.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I try to get out but you drag me back in

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I feel like I play a good amount of rouge likes -- The best ones I finish one time, but Balaltro and Slice & Dice I have finished like 7 times each. Such great games.

[-] sag@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Slice & Dice is also one of my favorite. I am also playing Maniac lately

[-] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

You finished the full version of Slice and Dice? All modes, all difficulties? There's so so so many :/

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

7 times meaning 7 of the models/difficulties

[-] sag@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

I will create FAQ soon BTW

I like rogue likes and deckbuilders, but don't know anything about traditional card games. should I get it?

Edit: nevermind, I bought it. It's amazing 🤩

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I fucking hate the new updates, lol. Gold chip is brutal with temporary and rent cards.

[-] simple@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah the rates of new stickers should be a bit less but it's way better than what it used to be, at least you're not losing on ante 2 constantly due to bad rng

Been addicted as shit to this for like a week

[-] Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I've been thinking about a Balatro community for a few weeks now, but life has been too crazy for me to create it. I'm really excited about this! If you're looking for mods, please let me know. I'd be interested in helping out!

[-] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, I am looking for mods

[-] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Is this like Slay the Spire? I had a lot of fun with that rogue like deckbuilder for awhile.

[-] Dymonika@kbin.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not really. It's constant sudden-death; your run ends the moment you can't beat an enemy in X turns. The turn limit is your health that resets per conflict. I greatly disliked this aspect of it.

It's best described as Yahtzee with poker hands using a mutated deck that could have missing cards, duplicate cards, insane multipliers, etc.

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

To add on to what the_gmg said, there's a free demo of it on Steam that will give you a feel for it.

[-] the_gmg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, but poker themed. 'Combat' is a round of poker themed solitaire with a point target. This is followed by an opportunity to spend money to upgrade your deck with fancy cards or modifiers. The point targets are constantly increasing, so you need to keep upgrading to complete a run.

If you like Slay the Spire, I would definitely give Balatro a shot.

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
