i love roguelikes but i've always bounced off deckbuilders until i played one that i already had the rules of ingrained in me from a young age. (i'm talking about POKER and BALATRO).

years ago in kyoto I saw a slot machine called JOKER POKER WINNING TUNNEL and the words captivated me and now I feel like the visions in my mind have been realized.

probably only like 40 hours of my playtime are from leaving the game running overnight.

last night i had a nightmare that i was portraying the 7 of spades in a weird art film about solitaire. i looked up possible meanings of the 7 of spades in cartomancy and one of them was FRUSTRATION and i think that's fair.

2:12am going back for more balatro
