@@AeroViro for a successful Balatro run, you typically need a good source of chips, a good source of +markiplier, and a good source of ×markiplier. ×markiplier can be especially hard to find, as only uncommon or rare jokers can give this type of markiplier.
I've avoided playing or watching gameplay of this game for a moment just like this. Shenpai is the perfect context to go in blind with. I'll even have to go watch RTGame's video after this one, let alone anyone else's that was more timely.

Shen sounds like my luck getting Gold Stake done with the Black Deck. Oh, I manage to make most of my Deck Face Cards to exploit the Face Card Multipliers? Immediately see Face Card Disabled and I can't do shit, every damn time.

@@fernandozavaletabustos205 yeah. ^^ for Jimbos Friend 3 I think the announcement trailer had Ben Starr, the voice of Clive Rosfield, playing the titular joker.
theres something about watching a new player play a game youve been so "hardcore" about. The nonchalantness of it all makes me realize I've been playing the game too seriously, and I need to just relax and let the game happen instead of looking for the perfect run.
that fake ending really fucked me up, i had just made a meal to eat and watch the rest of the video and im like 3 bites into my meal and its ends and im just thought i like froze in time or something
I watched the vod for this yesterday! She was s quiet concentrating, Ultrakill levels of concentration, which is so funny seeing from a game that requires 0,2 actions per second
that fake youtube screen at 9:55 actually got me for about 2 seconds. Also good choices, jocat, alpharad, rt game, doug doug, doobus goobus, that made it feel so much more real because I watch all of those people constantly
14:28 Oh my god, I NEED to see more of Shen playing Balatro, her reactions are incredible. I never thought I would hear someone say "thats big yuri" after seeing a mystic summit LMAO
I know nothing, have seen nothing, and have currently no idea what’s making this game so huge. I feel like learning anything is unleashing roko’s basilisk.

I've been binging Roffle videos lately, and it's somewhat jarring to see somebody new to the game playing at the base speed. Like watching your little sister play Mario 64 after watching speedruns for a week.
Shen you have no idea this video changed my Balatro gaming forever. I realized a bunch of STUPID things that I missed before because I’m stupid and my first Balatro game after this video I won and got over 2mil I can’t believe it you saved my Balatro gaming fr. I was wondering why I was losing so often, it’s cause I’m stupid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If anyone was wondering what I missed it was: I DIDNT REALIZE THE TIMES MULTIPLIERS, TIMES’D. THE. MULTIPLIER. SO WHEN SHEN POINTED IT OUT I WAS LIKE “😃 wow I’m stupid I got 40 hrs on this game dude”
24:51 That's just unfair, I've done so many games and have never gotten cards that good out of a pack, heck I rarely get one that even has a modifier. That's insane

Honestly same
"what? You're not getting 15E133 chips on your first game? what are you doing???"

Also weird watching new players play on the default speed, like; Click... click... click... click...

9:34 THAT WAS A DIRTY TRICK AND I LOVE IT
Watching her skip that spectral pack was painful
I nearly keeled over watching that happen
I've been binging Roffle videos lately, and it's somewhat jarring to see somebody new to the game playing at the base speed. Like watching your little sister play Mario 64 after watching speedruns for a week.
They need to make a co-op or versus mode so we can see RT and Shen play this together
6:03 "Okay we're doin a Red Card strat she's goin head-first into some more strateg- NO NOT THE SPECTRAL WAIT!!"
I love the fakeout 🤣 it actually got me, great editing.
9:55 I knew it was a joke but honestly the recommended vids here are not too far off from my current ones.
9:50
"I have to end my stream!!!"
makes a fake end video
me: freaking FALLS FOR IT after leaving the video and noticing the video had time left
Your reaction to playing Balatro is exactly what my roommates hear from me at 3am raging at the game lol
Alt title: Shen remembers her poker days _very_ differently
My dad is also a big poker fan so I figured showing him this game too and played a run. He liked it for the little bit we did
My mum's a big solitaire fan, so I figured I'd show her this game. She despised the very idea of even attempting to interface with my hobby 😞
@ sad and damn that was just mean of her 😔
9:56 i hate that this is actually my youtube reccomendations and i clicked onto another video before realizing
Love seeing Shenpai going bankrupt from going all in
I hate that 9:55 got me, I genuinely thought the video was over because that LOOKED like my recommended
the fact that the "ending the stream bit" was edited so well that i thought the video acutally ended and closed the window
"I feel like i'm dying" sounds like the average gambling experience, tbh
The edits to the mini is so good im dying
I think the best part of all this is the swanky yet oddly relaxing music in the game’s background as Shen descends into madness.
Its crazy how she actually got my recommended feed exactly right at 9:56
Shen: Cannot get Straights due to always missing one card
Also Shen: Pass up Four Fingers
9:54 why was that so accurate?? Shen knows her viewers too well...

That fake end video screen was so close to what the videos on my end screen looks like its crazy.
The high pitched noises in the video were a little too much, I couldn't finish the video because it set off my tinnitus. 😭
I’m so sorry! I already relayed to my editor to absolutely keep them out in the future.
@ thank you so much Shen! I appreciate it a lot and thank you both for your hard work with the videos 💖

9:55 this recommended screen is so freakishly close to mine I actually thought the video was over
0:51 our girl out here running Four Fingers and Shortcut, living the Straight Run Dream
this video shows the ups and downs of going for straights lmao
Shen during early playthrough costed my mentality with how many hands she can do
9:54 I love that the recommended channels are so similar to what would actually show up for me XD
The helicopter noises when she figured out you could move the cards sent me 😂
9:54 god damnit you got me
Watching you learn all this after just picking up the game myself was a delight. Awesome seeing you work out that xMult goes last for best effect. :3
Welcome to Balatro, Shen. You may never recover from the addiction, do not resist
19:22 made me spit out my coffee onto my phone. Cant even be mad
Funny that Rin and Shen upload Balatro on the same day

1:40 congratulations for SOMEHOW doing better than Asmongold
