Interesting read, mostly accessible for someone who has not and will never play Balatro. (Roguelikes just are not my thing, and for an irrational reason I cannot pin down, card games are a really quick turnoff.)

Ever Tried Factorio?

Yes, but not sure where this question is coming from.

Awesome read. I bought the game few weeks ago and the tutorial was a huge letdown. I’m glad I took time and played the game instead of trying to understand the tutorial which made the game look so complicated and confusing. I hope they remake it someday and summarize it instead of overexplaining.
Been playing for ten hours now and hoping to win with each deck. So much fun!
