[@abandonment]

using the tarot card to flip those face down cards is such a big brain move

[@snowyborne]

i really hope they dont remove that, it's a very clever and funny way to deal with unknown cards

[@RiPJaJa]

They won’t, it’s required for cards like strength, hierophant, empress, etc etc

[@virtualmartini]

@@snowyborne it's how it's meant to work I do the same thing

[@n0etic_f0x]

This game is easier if you are autistic. I do not mean that derogatory I mean... that is how I play the way you can hedge your bets is so fun. You can just do insane shit.

[@iconica9516]

turning the cards into bonuses to see whats on them is the most indirect genius olexa play ever

[@xXChaoticRavenXx]

Oh boy olexa playing the full game finally! Can’t wait see him use all the new jokers in this video! Tyler only using one joker the whole game:

[@xXChaoticRavenXx]

Great video tho. Can’t wait pick this game up myself

[@OlexaYT]

Tomorrows epi will be better 😘

[@makytondr8607]

It’s the alien in him.

[@blu8009]

@@makytondr8607would the alien also happen to own a rock?

[@Kraus-]

Like some kind of alien's rock?

[@hephestusbh1803]

Thanks Olexa, this run was very fun to watch once it got started. Im so excited for more Balatro videos it is by far my favorite olexa series. Its just so unique and fun to watch, i hope you enjoy playing it and you continue to get good views

[@iconica9516]

i cant believe i had to wait for a full release to hear an "up the ante" joke

[@bluedude3313]

I am so deeply, deeply hyped on this series, I've been so hooked and I am so excited.

[@Justbmoretransparent]

Don't apologize, that was incredible, I was hooked in for every second of that run! Half the time screaming "you idiot!" The other half in disbelief of how much of an idiot you made me look just cooking through that run. Simply fricken amazing! 😅🤯👌

[@Phrostbitex]

Don't you ever apologize for putting out a long video. I love it. 😂

[@ThanosAverroes]

I'm so jealous, i wanna play the full version now !

[@Depressed_Spider]

Should have sold the jokers before taking a spectral card that destroys them.

[@hopper_love]

Yes

[@noctyria1003]

That's a good tip, haven't thought of that. Thanks!

[@That-_-Guy]

Ohh no.. I’m not gonna like this video 😂

[@Ka_muu]

can't believe I checked the store page for this an hour ago because it wasn't on my steam games list and didn't realize it now had a release date...

[@Feraligatrfjhgujvgh]

28:07 kills me, dude had a straight flush Remember kids, you can use an Ace to make a straight on Kings-through-10s and Aces-through-5s!

[@OlexaYT]

Brother we got it in one hand anyway, who cares lmao

[@Feraligatrfjhgujvgh]

@@OlexaYTbut big number goes brrr 🤓

[@That-_-Guy]

@@OlexaYTIt’s all good haha, can’t always play perfectly no need to respond to guys like this

[@Dyingwood.]

@@OlexaYT reply to the nice people ; - ;

[@OlexaYT]

I respond to comments that give me something to reply to haha

[@EMANUELEBINACCHI]

Im insanely excited for this series. I hope ot lasts as long as brutal orchestra or further

[@mcaelm]

The part at the end where Tyler turned his straight into a straight flush only for it to be way worse was pretty funny. Good thing it didnt matter at that point

[@gunfighter009]

Wait are Olexa and Alienrocks both named tyler?

[@shadowofdeath8000]

Hilarious tbh. That's the kind of absurdity that makes it fun to watch imo

[@MazterOfDisaster]

been waiting for this release just to watch you play it xD love the extra long video:)

[@derrmeister]

28:10 does the Ace not count as a one towards the straight flush?

[@EMANUELEBINACCHI]

It does, olexa just a lil dumb

[@derrmeister]

@@EMANUELEBINACCHI probably not dumb, just blind sometimes

[@PlaneShaper2]

While I have disliked some of the dev's changes, I definitely enjoyed seeing you subvert the Wheel with a single Tarot card :)

[@Steam_Dad]

I'm soooo hyped. This game is awesome and play great on the Steam Deck.

[@krayolakraken]

It's absolutely worth the long video.

[@corey3642]

I'm really loving this soundtrack. So relaxing.

[@Lucygoos-e2e]

great video personally i lovee the balatro vids no matter the length

[@sandwichqueen]

I love how organized, in a chaotic way the winning deck was. Sad to see it go. But it reminds me of me. I may look like I'm in chaos (that's because I'm partially am), but I'm also organized.

[@bbittercoffee]

17:32 turns out he was the joker all along

[@kch8919]

I am ready to consume all the content on this game

[@excalibur7867]

Frostrain is a small rogue-like strategy game you might want to check out.

[@OlexaYT]

On my list yup

[@tangri4807]

Fantastic! Very interesting to watch)

[@BlackSwordsman_]

Bro the missed straight flush at 28:05 hurts😂😂

[@ethanlocke3604]

Splash would go insane with a high card build

[@madmandan1000]

Please do more I have the game I played demo and playing it now but love to watch more content on it as it’s always going to be different than what I get

[@pr0fet]

Balatro is the King of the 2024 NextFest in my mind. Such a solid game, innovative game with lots of replay-ability.

[@dicepudding]

Aiiieee I don't want to wait til tomorrow to play it myself! I might even have to play another round in the demo now just to satisfy the cravings...

[@sleepyjoe333]

You god damned time traveling space wizard

[@iconica9516]

that debuff bling actually needs to be nerfed the moment i saw it was permanent i knew that there was no saving that

[@bluedude3313]

The Best Fluid of the Year has Arrived. It's Water!

[@cirecrux]

This is the Presidents’ Day gift I wanted

[@Dkgow]

I know the game comes out tomorrow, and that we don't know all the hands yet, but I do hope they went with a 5 of a kind flush and called it a "Flush of a Kind"

[@Gaswafers]

The joker arts slay me.

[@Picksol]

28:07 missing that straight flush 😭

[@OlexaYT]

We got it in one hand, it’s okay

[@kklokey]

bro this needs to be an app that would be a gamechanger

[@Simon-tr9hv]

That boss blind is straight unfair, it need to be temporarily, or only appears at late stage and higher difficulties, so the impact isn't as drastic, cos if I see that boss, I'm just straight up restarting

[@OlexaYT]

It is extremely brutal honestly. Only thing that I don’t like about the full release

[@paulkanja]

Istg it's brutal even late run 😭

[@TheDeadCobraTheDeadCobra]

So many decks so many Jokers this will be interesting how many plays can be done Make sure to remove the ! don't just leave them

[@errorperson13]

the arm is so disgusting i love it but also oh god im afraid for when i actually get my hands on this game tomorrow lol im not that far in yet but i wonder what other heinous bosses have been brainstormed because this is gonna be a good time!

[@crazypyro777]

Damn, this video totally baited me into going to steam and checking it was released.... 19 hours to go for us plebians.

[@OlexaYT]

I explained the situation in the first 30 seconds of this video lol

[@takaneru6001]

@@OlexaYT I also saw the thumbnail and immediately checked... only for disappointment.

[@crazypyro777]

@@OlexaYTHaha, I also saw the thumbnail/title only before going to check. You can only expect so much from us youtube commentors. 😅

[@bignosh]

library of ruina reference i think

[@krystenmcgann974]

I missed why we were going out of our way to not play full houses at the beginning there

[@robertjarrell9754]

I came out on my lunch break to go ahead and buy this game since steam didn't alert me it released today... Imagine my disappointment to see it still doesn't release for 12 hours. 😢

[@ookamiueru]

Played the demo. Flush is a little bit too OP given the rules and nature of the game, and you don't have to think all that much. Every discard can increase likelihoods of flushes. With straights or houses, you often need to gamble what you might get, and series of bad luck is all it takes to lose. Reduced the game to a very simple winning strategy. Probably not how you're supposed to play the game.

[@OlexaYT]

The demo was focused around flushes, the full release really isn’t

[@shadowofdeath8000]

Love this game

[@botman9607]

Love your videos

[@helicoidcyme]

lets goooooooooooooooooooo balatroooooooooooooooooooooooo

you unlock new decks by just buying cards for the first time

[@KitoBallard]

The Arm seems to be a way too strong of a level 1 boss..

[@queen-patches233]

completely missed the chance for an over 9000 joke

[@taco_engineer]

Do you know what's special about 5's and 10's in poker? You can't make a straight without one.

[@bestosensei]

Can this just become a balatro chanel?

[@OlexaYT]

No but we’ll be posting it daily for a bit!

3 of a kind is a BAD HAND in pretty much any game, especially this one.

Not necessarily man, especially in this game if any poker-related one.

21:33 bro.. u cant sell the other joker before destroying them.. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
