This might be 2023's best roguelite (Balatro)

[@chopman5152]

The amount of times chat said “you missed the flush!” when he had 4 cards of the same suit and not 5 was hilarious… couldn’t tell if they were trolling on purpose or just didn’t understand how poker works

[@Camothor10]

I mean maybe they were just being hopeful for a good discard

[@meinnase]

maybe they thought he got the joker that lets you get flushes and straights with 4 cards? After the first boss when he chose the voucher that did nothing instead.
