When Balatro tells you to play four of a kind, you do it.

[@Mikes_NotSane]

"where are these queens, man?" Datto before meeting Danielle

I know he already said he'd been watching Northernlion play this game, but hearing him immediately say "money's on sale" drove it home for me

[@Henry12151]

I didn't even know he was watching NL, but the second he said that I knew he had

[@timm8o475]

EXACTLY it's honestly so funny 😂

[@Ganobrator]

33:00 the perfect ratio between chips and mult here was extraordinarily satisfying

[@Beeks20]

My favourite datto content is him playing random things, which is why I love stream highlights. This channel has been a blessing since I stopped playing Destiny.

[@lennyjnr123456789]

I watched the VOD in bed whilst recovering from surgery to distract me from the pain. Your Balatro content is peak cozy comfort. Loving the the chill variety to wind down streams. Can’t wait for slay the spire.

[@lumina6123]

This game actually looks super fun. Between Helldivers and just getting a PS5 to replay old exclusives and other games, I’ve been eating so good. May be adding this to the pile of games to play, thank you for introducing me, small KZbinr!

[@upstartmyst3734]

The biggest thing I've learned while playing is that steel cards are a trap unless you have the one joker that gives Xmult for steel cards in your deck. They are applied before all of your jokers so you basically only get them applied to the base value of the hand. 10/10 game BTW

[@thatoneguy1900]

Watched the whole thing, I did really like it. Datto man i gotta say you're a real likeable dude. I'm really enjoying the new channel and new content. Keep up the great work. I gotta go play this now and try a 4 of a kind build!

[@myownaccount5058]

Why is this random ass card game the most random ass entertaining thing I’ve watched someone else play in forever?

[@jetblackchamp]

Because BALATRO BALLIN

[@therussbuss5314]

It's a "simple" game with a high skill ceiling, and a very nice art style with great sound design. You can tell the dev put a lot of passion into it.

[@vegancardigan]

Flashy colors + big number go bigger + datto perfect entertainment + long videos too

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic563]

If this looks fun to you, you should play Balatro. Balatro is a bit like eating an entire cake alone, but without the crushing regret and risk of diabetes.

[@MackAttack9090]

Keep in mind for Blue Joker you never get it's full potential, each card you draw lowers the amount of chips it gives

[@115Foxlight]

The NL thumbnail I'm pegged up

[@zeeejay]

This is fun to watch cause I feel like I understand it as you explain stuff going along

[@corbinboyd1]

This game has its hooks in me. NL is the goat for bringing all the much deserved attention to this game. +2 in the chat

[@Smexican217]

28:45 bro really hit 3/4 on wheel of fortune, he’s unbelievably GOATed

[@stockton.t8318]

Thank you for the introduction this game is a blast to play 🫡

[@victorb7562]

I'm so glad you uploaded the first vid on balatro and I choose to watch a video about a random game I never heard of because I really enjoyed the vid and the game seemed fun. I bought it on release and man this game is so good. It is so simple and so complex at the same time and super satisfying when you just keep hearing the jokers proc.

[@damiansmith5294]

That first 1.4 mil was absurd. Awesome seeing it go even higher.

[@jawshoeadan]

Datto, I watched your first Balatro video and I am already addicted

[@lux8837]

Wasn't expecting to find the Venn diagram sweet spot between Datto, NL, AND Balatro, but thank god I did.

[@Swim_XIV]

Playing the mobile game and I'm obsessed. Love going back and watching these

[@binosario]

Datto officially coming out as the new King of Queens in this video

[@MrTrufax]

What a crazy ride, this was so fun to watch!

[@ryanwhite3287]

I have been so northernlion pilled since you spoke of him

[@haeundaemoon7816]

That run up to the ending was incredible, I didn’t know you could get mult just that high

[@lucyarisato6850]

YES! MORE BALATRO! 🎉

[@codyromrell6897]

HOLY DATTO PLAYS BALATRO? I didn’t realize bro I’ve played since the early days of the demo. Such a banger

[@darktriadsun8440]

The most nl coded thumbnail I've ever seen

[@tylermosca497]

the 1.4 mill goes crazyyyy

[@AfroSamuraii_]

I have a love/hate relationship with Balatro so far. lol It feels like the boss blinds in the latter half of the antes are handcrafted to fuck you in this game. The roguelike aspects of this game are a lot more subtle than in most of the genre. You unlock different kinds of jokers and decks to use during the game, but there isn’t anything that directly improves your performance per run. The cards that appear in the shop aren’t really based off your run either. I had a run where I focused on flushes with spades, and all the tarot cards I had appear would change cards to every other suit. The jokers were a similar situation. It was aggravating. lmao It’s still really fun though. I’d thoroughly recommend this game.

[@dhlphoenix]

Seeing him skip dna on a 4oak run hurt to see

[@Sasquatch152]

Picked up this game because of your vids and I'm loving it

[@djlee_exe]

3:00 - NL Balatro video 4:00 - Datto Balatro video Life is good

[@mathiaszipfel1788]

This game kinda reminds me of Shotgun King: the Final Checkmate, might be worth givin’ it a try Datto

[@Mr.Toast117]

Loving this game so far! Fits right into my monkey brain of pattern recognition and "make number go up"

[@YuriG03042]

SLAY! 💅🏽 15:12

[@Tris_speak]

I love thus so much for no reason

[@ChrisProfrock]

The Blue Joker gets worse the more you have to fish through your deck for Queens so the mult was probably better.

[@Subsistence69]

Thats it, Im buying it Edit: Okay Ive been playing this for 2 days now and the GODLY rng Datto had on this run is unreal 😭😭😭

[@M4GG0TK1NG]

I feel like the jump from 1.12 mil to 7.2 mil seems crazy scaling i feel like making at least 1 more in between would still be challenging but not unobtainable

[@Malaphor2501]

Not picking up DNA in a 4 of a kind run is crazy.

[@ripaether8887]

wow your jokers in the first one are just insane. Ive literally never gotten wheel of fortune tarot card to proc for me and i have easily used it over 15 times.

[@jeffm7007]

Me screaming BRO YIU HAVE TO PLAY FIVE OF A KIND TO UNLOCK ITS PLANET CARD

[@Gaffroninja]

Ever since you streamed the demo a few weeks back I have been chronically addicted to this game... what have you done to me Datto I demand answers!!!!

[@BONKwhatup]

Well this looks like a new unhealthy obsession for me

[@Bas1i0n]

glad to see i'm not the only one saying money's on sale when i see money tarot cards cus of NL

[@alexward976]

You could make a third channel just for Balatro and I wouldn’t complain.

[@batmanslarynx]

So jealous, I've gotten nowhere near this sort of luck.

[@coookienomster7933]

any chance you can make chat a little bigger? I like reading it but it is so small on screen hat its hard to see

[@deadclicks]

NL thumbnail type beat

[@iamthief]

yes, more balatro pls

[@poncho_bear3384]

I love NorthernDatto

[@Goose683]

I'm building a pc just for this game. looks so fun

[@BenjyF563]

What is datto if not American NL? 🤔 I hope Balatro becomes a regular thing for the channel, super fun to play and watch

[@sleepingbeluga4000]

Loving the baltro

[@Neon_tedious]

Would love for this to become a mobile game

[@naughtttt]

I gotta play this now

[@IoRomulus]

I did really like this ; )

[@Silvermud21]

I love this game

[@aneudycruzguzman3081]

This game needs a cellphone version, my productivity would drop to 0

[@TobiSamaEatinCookies]

Why am I invested

[@hem9483]

love it

[@moonay52]

I am so lost lol

[@wyatt6054]

First (Datto is a cutie patootie)

[@Wakeofchaos25]

Lots of us have kind of moved on from Destiny. Smart of you to do the same (even if you go back when things are hyped). I need a Balatro playlist!
