I haven’t seen so much hype for a game in a while. The best part is that it’s worth the hype. It’s a highly enjoyable game.

Only scoring cards receive bonuses from jokers. Adding a random diamond to a hand doesn’t yield diamond related bonuses unless it’s part of the “hand” as it were

[@KevinAccetta]

I gotta say, I've put on some of Malf's and Ryan's Balatro vids as background audio while I play other stuff, but you've actually made me interested in the game.

most anticipated game of 2024 right here

Welcome to cilantro

It hurt so luch to see him discarding a 5th card so many times

[@Kurobeau]

I havent watched the whole vid yet, but I hope to god someone told Baer that only scoring cards get scored, not played cards. (or that he figured it out himself)

`It hurts to see peoples' panties in a bunch over a KZbin video

The one downside with the game is the amount of back seating that comes with it in the comments and chat, but beyond that it's a very hype little game. I could easily see this be an indie GOTY

Baerlatro let’s gooo

[@liorb1970]

what a great game

[@chrisseddon5823]

Oh shit. I dunno how i feel about this. My fave fun streamer playing a game that i watch high level players play. Gonna have to not be judgey here.

[@helicoidcyme]

woo! bearlatro

[@Zoth87]

I'm only half an hour in, so Baer might figure it out yet, but a couple of things I wanted to say that he seems unaware of. You can use multiple discards right after one another and that you can play a hand with less than five cards, since without specific jokers cards not actively part of the hand don't do anything (might still be played just to cycle them)

[@bubbles69138]

Baer.. you realize you also get bonuses for skipping ;)

[@ericlamb4501]

Sorry but this is resident sleeper for me

[@RequiemsGrace]

Baer... Man. I've been a fan, a daily viewer, even someone who goes back and re-watches your old series, for almost 8 years now... But seriously. Dude. The first stream I catch that isn't a sponsored ad, or darkest dungeon... and it's POKER? When people say someone's changed... I feel like that would be an understatement :/ Your entire thing used to be random, off-the-wall fun content with great commentary... But for like 2 years now it's essentially been watching the same 10 videos on repeat... I don't know what happened, or what could've caused this, or maybe it's just me growing older... But Baer, please... I look forward to a time where you step out of the shadows again man.
