Why didn't I look harder? I've been wanting to try the game and only have my tablet. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I'm going to see if I'm able to utilize it in my situation

I look forward to the economics research paper that this will cause:

"A study of the effects of 'Balatro' on GDP"

The music to this game is ingrained into my head

Playing this game on my Deck I was always thinking "I should be able to play this on my phone as well".

I will buy it, I will play it, I will enjoy it, and I will severely hope to never have thoughts like that again

Hope they support Portrait mode for the perfect commuter time killer

Fuck yeah bro. I'm about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction

Is it known if there is going to be a way to share progression between devices?

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I first read that as 'between divorces?' and my mind went, yeah that's a valid concern keeping a marriage afloat with this addiction.

Really wanted this on my iPad but got it on the switch instead.

If they realize they can sell individual jokers, etc...at $.99 a pop as DLC, the developer is about to be a billionaire and create so many new sick people in the world.

Can you sell DLC on Apple Arcade? On the Google Play Pass games all the dlc is included.
