Chat in literally every Balatro stream: "You can speed up the game" "Change speed!" "Yo, did you know you can make the animations faster?" "speed up game pls" "make animations faster!"
It has been funny seeing all these creators, who are (on average) a bit older than their viewership, picking up Balatro watchers, who are both way more experienced at the game than their streamer, and also very into jingling keys and subway surfers background video and ADHD fidget viewing, BEGGING to have the game go faster for people who haven't even seen all the tarot cards yet.
At the end of the stream you can literally see how the wheel were turning in her head when she was counting how much % it is to draw her cards. In that moment, a Balatro player was hooked ^^
Nobody told Voxy! You can move the Jokers to have them combo better. Example. Moving all of your 1.5-4x jokers to the last space in the top so they activate last.
I've now seen several people who play card games for a living try out Balatro. I'm continuously astounded at their lack of visual comprehension and unwillingness to read O.o
@barrett627 I realise most of the streamers have ADHD. Rarran and Voxy for sure, but SO DO I! Not an excuse. Maybe it's engagement bait? If so, it's working as intended.
Balatro's wording is INSANELY concise for everything. If something sounds vague, you can probably still work out what it's very, very likely to mean if you actually think about it.
Balatro is pretty easy to beat unless you get a bad boss early on like the Needle or the Wall before you can build your deck to beat them. (Or if you're doing a higher difficulty or challenge run, but that's neither not really relevant).
I’m surprised chat let you play for 4 hours without telling you how to turn up the game speed! Go to options and turn that sucker up to 4! Game goes so much smoother
am love this have always wanted to see gameplay of this, have heard so much about it for months how good it is. I am for sure 100% buying this game, I'm scared of the time sink but I can't wait to grind it !!
Blank indeed does nothing, but it unlocks ability to get a voucher in later shop that gives you an extra joker slot... Though before you get that ability you need to buy blank 10 times and then buy blank again more times and hope RNG is on your side
48:06 the irony is that if she hadn’t done those last 2 discards and just played the full house when she had it then the last joker would have been worth enough to win it for her.
It's so weird seeing so many play this now a year after release. I'm never that far ahead of the curve usually lol. I'm not into MTG so not seen this streamer before but I'll check this out. Also looks like a young Becky Lynch.
Oh no......... they finally got Voxy. Your life is now over until you play the shit out of this game and you know it XD This monstrously addictive game is pure fun and pure digital cocaine. It's so much fucking fun to play! The way things trigger is super similar to resolving the stack in MTG
Standard packs are only really good if you're fishing for something specific, or have a Joker that benefits from adding/having more cards in your deck. Enhanced or no, you don't want to start cluttering your deck with extra cards.
Chat giving bad advice is a little irritating; half the people typing stuff didn't know what Supernova did lmao At that point just let Voxy figure it out on her own instead of spamming the chat with misinfo
Beginners always make the blunder of going for plays even if the play has no planet upgrades or joker synergy. Remember, unless you are out of discards and don't have any other choice, go for a hand your jokers will boost that preferrably also has been leveled up by planet cards. A diamond straight flush means nothing to you if you are a heart normal flush build. A full house means nothing to you if you have two pair significantly upgraded and full house with no upgrades.
So, anyone want to explain to me how this person is a MTG player? This game is a lot more simple than the millions of things that go on in Magic and she's having a hard time with it, lol
With how often she questions "what does that mean" on things that quite literally say what they mean I kinda hope this is just a stream gimmick. Otherwise she's out here getting groceries and screaming at the produce: "What do you mean sack of potatoes? Does that mean it's a sack of potatoes? I don't understand". It's extra weird, because the game legit has some stuff that's weirdly phrased or really unintuitive, but instead she questions everything else.
There's different levels of explanation; don't assume they mean the most basic, literal level. Example: "+8 Mult when hand contains a pair" 1. Card adds to score when hand has 2 cards of same number 2. If Hand is a Pair, add + 8 Mult 3. If Hand contains a Pair you get +8 Mult doesn't just apply to Pair. "Contains" means that it counts Hands that are nested, like Full House which technically contains a Pair. This counts any Hand. 4. This Joker is good early on, as the +8 Mult can shore up the initial low score of Pair Hands, and also work with other Hands. However, it's not a run-defining Joker, and you can easily pivot from it later in the run.

Balatro player: "Balatro is a very fun and addictive card game with a lot of complicated intricate decisions" MTG players: "oh you sweet summer child" 🤓
Guys what crack did they put in this game oh my god
The digital carboard kind 🤣
The best kind. I have seen people compare it to hard drugs in game format.
The crack of Uranus
My personal Game of the Year of 2024
Just wait til you try it on mobile. Its even more addicting because its in your pocket at all times and the best toilet game ever.
"Jokers are enchantments, vouchers are emblems" genius way to onboard an MTG player lmao.
💯
And Debuffs are counterspells. Packs are booster packs. And singles are... well the same.
Imagine Poker enthusiast Richard Garfield hearing a full-time Magic player call Clubs "these little clover things." This is cinema.
It's a forest, obviously.
Imagine Richard Garfield playing this game tho
As local thunk intended
Doyle Brunson just made a turn in his grave ^^
@@Ticketman99 he does play balatro
1:37:33 The sacred mantra.
"Convert the left card... into the right card..."
The price of failure for not repeating the mantra will be the DEATH of your run(or at least that perfect card you wanted 2 of).

"You can speed up the game"

The real title of this video should be "I've Got Eyes Only for Uranus"
🤨
Explaining balatro mechanics in Magic terms was. *chefs kiss* chat
You can play MtG, you can play every cardgame in existence
"omg they're EMBLEMS" took me out. Also her recognizing the needle as the phyrexian symbol lmao
At the end of the stream you can literally see how the wheel were turning in her head when she was counting how much % it is to draw her cards. In that moment, a Balatro player was hooked ^^
1:28:47 this clip NEEDS to become your donation audio
I love how the chat explained the rules with enchantment and emblem comparisons :D
The rare “please give me as much back seating as possible” twitch stream of Balatro blind
2h in and voxy has not noticed that discarding is not a mulligan 😂
Your graveyard is not a second hand here.
Nobody told Voxy! You can move the Jokers to have them combo better. Example. Moving all of your 1.5-4x jokers to the last space in the top so they activate last.
To be fair, the game told her, she just didn't understand at the time (or maybe she forgot)
Chat told her a couple times. I think the game might of as well at some point.
@@IronDino the game does in the tutorial
The game told her at 8:22, followed by a "what?" 😂
I've now seen several people who play card games for a living try out Balatro. I'm continuously astounded at their lack of visual comprehension and unwillingness to read O.o
I'm always astounded by people's refusal to read! People see a basic short sentence and go "too many words" it's so sad
@barrett627 I realise most of the streamers have ADHD. Rarran and Voxy for sure, but SO DO I!
Not an excuse. Maybe it's engagement bait? If so, it's working as intended.
I loved play Magic and play Arena every single day, but I f'n hate reading all the text on some of those cards. But here? It's like 10 words max.
Balatro's wording is INSANELY concise for everything. If something sounds vague, you can probably still work out what it's very, very likely to mean if you actually think about it.
Nah, it's just Streamers.
Streamers are unable to read 😂
MTG player says "this card has too many words on it" lmao
Oh no... a new addiction...
been waiting for this since the balatro tweet dropped
Yay, I'm stoked this is happening :) Had wanted Voxy to play Balatro a while back
Did Voxy really build an Uranus deck?
The script writes itself.
Another one for the deck.
I've never clicked a thumbnail so fast in my life.
Weasel make number go up. POG
i tried to get voxy plays balatro in infinite craft, got markiplier and asmongold, still working on voxy
great time watching you play this game
"do the diamond ace" "all diamond cards are debuffed" I laughed so hard there
She got so damn lucky on the first run it got me crazy!
One of the highlights in watching this on UA-cam is that I can set the speed to x1.5.
I keep hearing "Dollers" and I find it unbeliveable funny
Holy crap. She got it on her second try. It took me like 15 tries before I got my first win. 😅
streamers almost never do a truly blind run of a game. it's their job to entertain.
@macmacox it's a blind run she just kept asking chat when she didn't know what to do (which was the entire run)
@@macmacoxif I say I’m doing a blind run, it’s 100% a blind run.
Balatro is pretty easy to beat unless you get a bad boss early on like the Needle or the Wall before you can build your deck to beat them.
(Or if you're doing a higher difficulty or challenge run, but that's neither not really relevant).
I hope she eventually figured out what the word pair meant lol
A full house being 3 pair and 2 pair is hilarious to me
2:23:13 That was THE discard
I’m surprised chat let you play for 4 hours without telling you how to turn up the game speed!
Go to options and turn that sucker up to 4! Game goes so much smoother
I couldn't wait for her to try it
Balatro is very fun. It’s kind of poker adjacent, which is fun.
am love this have always wanted to see gameplay of this, have heard so much about it for months how good it is. I am for sure 100% buying this game, I'm scared of the time sink but I can't wait to grind it !!
you look like X Men character
4 and a half hours? Oh they got her.....they got her good.

I need to see more game play :)
Whaaaat? I have more than 100 hours into this game and I never realized I could move tha card on the main screen!! 😮
Welcome to The Tribe!
"brand new game" ... released 11 months ago :D
But yeah, it's a great game, and it's nice to see so many new players give it a try.
Drove me nuts with skipping all the standard packs. I don't think she ever realized they usually have enhanced cards in them.
Standard packs are only really good if you're fishing for something specific, or have a Joker that benefits from adding/having more cards in your deck. Enhanced or no, you don't want to start cluttering your deck with extra cards.
oh no
Literally what I thought when I saw this video
Voxy, excelent live stream! When you can, try the game Slay The Spire. I think you'll enjoy it.
2 hours it took her. she said it. its fun.
Chat giving bad advice is a little irritating; half the people typing stuff didn't know what Supernova did lmao
At that point just let Voxy figure it out on her own instead of spamming the chat with misinfo
I've never heard of this game.
Non-rogelike player plays a rogelike for the first time
So I know she wasnt adapting to the jokers that came up and forced things she wanted. Lets see if she realizes that.

Oh I'm so hype
@voxy now @rarran is the balatro master. You should seek his holy guidance...
Or RTGame
@@IronDino The dude that fakes his runs? nah
Hey Voxy, you accidentally mispelled "Hearthstone" in your title.
In this stream Voxy figures out there is a reason why this game was nominated for GotY, and it was not some grand conspiracy.
Like is she color blind to standard packs? They are so good
