The scathing roast he doles out to that chatter who didn't understand that Steve Carell was gay in Little Miss Sunshine legitimately had me in tears. Bro does not sugar coat it.

[@puransu20]

The first Blind is most always a one-trick if you use your discards to find a high straight and better hand. Once you get your face card, Aces and 10s you just wait on either a straight/flush draw or full house, it's a given to get $10 after the first fight.

[@ProjetoSaga]

I literally cheered "Balatrooo!" after seeing the thumbnail hahahha

[@Senorgato029]

The secret power of four fingers is how much easier it makes flush variant hands (straight flush, royal flush, flush five) easier to hit as these hands have massive base scoring

[@murrayb1969]

I get so pogged every time the Wrothful Joker comes up

[@Sheamu5]

I can't wait for the final release, game is fun but after 6 runs I've seen about everything.

[@seeker_of_knowlage3568]

Yeah I heard final release have 100+ jokers. This is just the demo and not the beta.

[@aleckgabriel9944]

The first run really proves that Obelisk fucking Blows

[@sergnb0]

Wdym there was no obelisk involved

[@DukeChameleon]

Obelisk fucking blows 😳c=3

[@Psycho5275]

@sergnb0 He's lost runs before with Obelisk. IMO Obelisk incentives the player to not take good hands if it's given to you too many times. This run, he was given flushes so he took the flushes

[@sergnb0]

@@Psycho5275 obelisk is just a “build around” archetype, if you play it badly it can screw you and if you play it properly it Carries like crazy. The run he lost with obelisk was absolutely his fault, he choked it like crazy when he was managing it pretty great until then. There’s not many jokers in the demo that can give you a 3x mult and all of them require you to play around them. Obelisk is one of the easier ones to manage.

20:10 "I don't want the store to have more options", spends 6$ to reroll the shop to get more options

[@TheDormantPsycho]

As soon as he said this I searched for this comment I’ll never understand the inner machinations of this man

[@SnowFaceChamcham]

At some point we'll have to accept that there's a method to the madness, somehow. the man has a gigantic following and is getting paid a fair sum to play video games in front of a webcam. I used to get mad whenever he did or said something contradictory or was just bad at a game (**cough** shapes **cough**)

[@mjoflaherty126]

I really get the feeling that Balatro will blow up over the next few years and become a pillar in the deckbuilding genre.

[@WhiteKnuckleRide512]

Idk, it’s fun but it seems a bit overhyped. The demo just doesn’t have too much run variety

​@@Yeshua_Akbaryou should get Slice & Dice. It's $7 and NL-approved.

@@WhiteKnuckleRide512 I'm surprised you feel that way, i have over 40 hours in the demo which is just insane. And i have to pull myself away from the damn game.

The last run is by far the best run you have ever played. What saved you on the final boos was the extra 2 hands.

[@TheMarkoSeke]

[@timbrown6457]

Throwing away 18 mult for $20 is classic NL

[@yjre]

That guy who didn't realize Michael Scott was gay in little Miss sunshine subscribes to the same definition of "watching" as my younger sister who puts a movie on and browses TikTok until something loud happens

[@TimTim3000]

I think it'd be far more interesting if Dean Norris played a gay guy and Steve Carrell played a cop. That's not how Hollywood works of course.

40:50 wait that was not the plane. You should have destroyed 4-4 and then another 4-4. It would have been 12% better chance instead of the mere 6% you got. Do the math. Now you made it worse in term of chance. You betrayed math.

[@BibzBall]

Thanks for pointing that out, I thought I was going crazy like he actually mentioned "I need to destroy an entire set" and then proceeds to destroy two half sets? That just makes things worse doesn't it?

[@atreidesemperor1003]

This was honestly his best run I love how creative he gets with the game now

[@Kurobeau]

Im with the chatter on this one. Tune the mic volume down and crank that ost UPPP!

[@KevinAccetta]

So I just had my best run with a very nice Straight combo jokers. 1. +1 mult for every hand played (had like 40-50 by the end) 2. Copy leftmost joker (another 40-50 mult) 3. Straight/Flush now need 4 cards 4. Straight can skip a rank to work 5. Even cards add mult (forgot how much) Had lvl5 straight at the end too. And a bunch of buffed 9s, 10s, and Qs due to duplicating the already buffed ones (each with +chips and +mult, 20 and 10 or respectively, or something like that). I was getting like 60k+ per straight. And like 3k-5k just from playing a random high card. I just played high cards to get more permanent mult for the two jokers and finished with a single straight. I might have some of the details wrong, still not a balatro expert lol

In my life of watching streamers and KZbinrs. Nothernlion and JonCJG are only streamers "youtubers" i support. Ive given JOHNCJG (fellow canadian as well as old school machinima creator) money just because i know hes at bottom and didnt start it nor got wealthy from youtube or his content. I wont give Nothernlion money because i know he's wealthy as sense of lot of people give him donations already and has a house as well as lives in Canada in a very above average way but one of the 2 only streamers id say i support and enjoy his content as well as very knowledgeable in lot of things which so many streamers lack as well as knows how to be humble.
