Huh, that looks interesting. The art style especially for the thumbnail gives me strong Evil Genius vibes.

I think we should bring back candy cigarettes from the 90’s. Kids won’t be influenced because its not real smoking.

SkyezOpen,

I thought you were joking about the recent kerfuffle, but no, you’re really this stupid.

satans_methpipe,

Shouldn’t you be sitting in your own waste in front of a slot machine? Hurry along. The pot is getting hot! Just one more round!

SkyezOpen,

I can type with one hand and pull a lever with the other, thank you.

But really quick, explain how balatro is gambling for the idiots among us

satans_methpipe,

Poker is a gambling game. Balatro is loosely based on poker. Throw in some additional luck/randomness and change the money aspect to points. Gambling and addiction in general are devastating.

It would be interesting to compare brain activity of a gambling addict at the casino with a dedicated balatro player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

echodot,

You don’t gamble anything though. Have you even played the game

satans_methpipe,

Yes. It walks, talks, and quacks like a casino.

heavydust,

But it lacks the main feature of a casino: taking people’s money.

echodot,

Have you played the game because it really sounds like you haven’t. It sounds like you’ve just seen pictures and made an assumption

There is no gambling mechanic, other than matching poker suits there aren’t really any poker mechanics, there are no other players.

Don’t feed the troll. They don’t actually care if it’s gambling or not.

TheSambassador,

Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

satans_methpipe,

You know that isn’t a reasonable take. Nice try kiddo

Korhaka,

Neither is yours.

Korhaka,

Poker is a gambling game.

False. It is a card game, sometimes people gamble over card games and poker is a common one. You can gamble over yahtzee if you wanted to.

gami,

Obvious troll

satans_methpipe,

Actually, can you explain to me how balatro is not gambling or encouraging gambling?

vxx, (edited )

It’s a strategy game with almost zero luck involved. It doesnt scratch the gambling part in the brain at all.

It’s all about multipliers and making numbers big, which is satisfying. You don’t put any currency in it, not even virtual.

All you can win is a “You Won”

You’re doing runs and don’t expect anything in return but having a good and fun time. A time that cost you about the power your device draws.

Edit: Ive played a lot of Poker in the past. Balatro doesnt make me think about playing poker at all.

satans_methpipe,

Almost zero luck? So there is a component of luck in the game dressed like a casino?

Korhaka,

Its incredibly simple, no money changes hands.

TheGreenWizard,

What are you gambling?

SomethingBurger,

My sanity if Wheel of Fortune fails again.

I’m so happy I could die. Big props to the developer for making it free. I’m gonna buy the game again regardless.

RobotZap10000, do games w Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - 1.0 Release Date Trailer
@RobotZap10000@feddit.nl avatar

Neat! I got the game two months ago, and I’m having a lot of fun! I learned of it from the “OG” DRG, which I’ve had for a lot longer (and played much, MUCH more), but it’s great when I just want a fun, quick and simple game to play. I’m still dumbfounded how this game rips off most of its assets, mechanics and even weapons from its predecessor and STILL be completely different, while also actually being fun!

SacralPlexus,

I’m a huge DRG fan but wasn’t interested in Survivor because that’s not the type of game I usually play. A friend bought it for me so I felt obligated to try and it and holy heck it is so much more fun than I thought it would be. It is my go-to game when I’m on my Steamdeck.

I like that the companion seems to be more talkative.

I have been waiting for this for so long that I even forgot it’s coming. This game released 6(!!!) years ago and ended on a cliffhanger with a “to be continued”. And it’s still going to be free, hell yes!
