  I don’t know, I’ve probably never been nearer to a life of crime then in the depths of the black deck.

    Black deck is my last gold stake and I feel exactly the same way.

      Oof. I’ve played a lot of Balatro, but I finished blue stake and went “any more than this stops being fun.” Can’t imagine going all the way to gold for every deck. Is it just a completionist thing? Or is the challenge of it fun for you in moment to moment gameplay?

        For a really long time I never thought I’d do more than one gold deck. That first one was the only completionist feeling one to me.

        I later discovered Dr. Specter’s Balatro University and also watched a lot of Major League Balatro. I learned a ton and thought that maybe I’d give harder stakes another try. There’s a lot of dopamine to be had in applying theoretical knowledge to overcome something you previously thought was nearly impossible.

        Black stake is a whole other beast though. Dr. Specter himself says if you really want to beat it you should be prepared to reset over and over for hours on end.

  All that DANGEROUS gambling in Balatro is probably what led to doing time.
