  • I got into Balatro finally, and holy fuck, it really is great. I wanted a turn based roguelike since I realized I didn’t have many of those, and I knew it’d be good, but it’s hard to find something I don’t like about the game.

    It looks good, the interface is good, the music is an awesome ever changing single chill song, it’s turn based so you can think about your decisions, but if your build is strong you can play pretty quick too. There are tons of build options and unlocks.

    There is a nice balance between playing hands and altering your build between rounds, I like that the money economy is low in number, similar to darkest dungeon and its low number damage stats even single digits matter. Learning the game and starting runs you begin to establish a build that you can add synergy to incredibly quickly. I just struggle to find anything bad to say about it.






  • Some of those cons could be true, but I think the bigger problem is that they only listed “sex and money” as the only pros.

    What are you doing in a relationship if that person isn’t basically a really good friend that you can laugh with, do hobbies with, watch and talk about movies with, share music with, etc.

    Sure you might have to hang out with mutual friends you don’t love (Though a good partner won’t force you to). You do need to spend time on their hobbies and likes if you don’t specifically share them. I’m not sure if I can vouch for the rest, though, those are some cons where you need to be really selective and find like minds to be with (don’t like to speak very often).

    the other two (manipulated for sex, fear of divorce) are more like things you should go to therapy to learn not to tolerate or worry about, respectively.


  • Was looking through people’s comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

    Today I had Blake’s Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider’s the only alcoholic drink I’ve ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don’t need to “get used” to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don’t count, that’s cheating (but delicious)




  • I mean, I’ve seen you on here enough to know that your brain trends towards negativity and that there’s a solid chance that if you put the time in you could get somewhere with it, even if it’s just average.

    I’m not saying everyone can just be Eddie Van Halen, I’m also not saying that you should just bash your head against the wall and learn if you don’t want to, but learning the basics of guitar is not intellectually difficult, it just requires dedication, and it’s cool if you like the sound of guitar, but don’t want to learn the technique, (which isn’t musical at all, it just ends up producing music).

    Life is hard enough as it is, try not to be hard on yourself.



  • To say you can’t is a convenient way to explain it. It’s okay to say you don’t have enough motivation to learn it. Even once you can play an instrument you still need the motivation to keep playing, and if you don’t, then that’s all good. No one thing is for everyone.

    No need to say you’re stupid or incapable, you’re absolutely smart enough and capable, you just don’t have the motivation to overcome the learning curve, and that’s completely acceptable.
