Putting this in place of @GuyWTriangle@hexbear.net 's weekly thread since it’s Wednesday so it’s late! Title, what are you playing this week?
I’m on my bullshit playing Korean MMORPGs again, this time playing Dark Ages by Nexon. I plan on trying out Maple Story and Mabinogi too. I like this game but it’s kind of bullshit they charge money for it still and the private servers are totally dead 
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net if you could pin this please.
I’ve been playing the occasional Balatro run. I’ve gotten to that point of my life where I appreciate the consistency of the high card build more than the power of the usual flush spam. Also I had a successful Obelisk run, one of those jokers that’s very good in theory but you need to have the right setup to successfully pivot using it.
I’m almost gold on all decks. Been wanting to do more edits to the images, though. It’s really simple modding and gives me a reason to draw/edit stuff.
Huh, how’d you do the Obelisk run? Pivot into high card or pair or something?
I had played around 10 flushes. I basically had to get a bunch of copies of a single rank of card, then I played every hand type I could. The secret is to always avoid playing pairs and high cards, because if you play those too often you’ll max out on the hands you want to use as discards. Eventually, I had several copies of an 8 card so I was consistently drawing 3oak, 4oak, 5oak and flush of a kind, which allowed me to play each of those in moderation so I simply kept powering up the obelisk across the course of the run.
