This is true. I’m sure Balatro addicts have pored over every line of LUA script in the game, and they would have spotted anything resembling a pity system. Balatro is unusual for not fudging the probabilities at all, and I just had to wrap my head around that. That one time my lucky cards triggered 7 times and didn’t give me any +mult and I died… that was just 7 honest misses in a row, which had a 21% chance of happening.

I actually went back and tried Plasma Deck yesterday, Playing like I have a brain, I finally beat White Stake, made it to ante 12, and got the achievement for 100,000k in a single hand. I kept my options open and adapted to the upcoming boss blinds like I should, and I had a good run.

Always check the boss blind in the first shop of an ante so you can prep.

That one is huge. Some boss blinds can wreck you if you don’t see them coming. If you spot a problematic boss blind early, you can use a shop or two to find a way to survive it. Be flexible.

In desktop Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+C lets you click on an element and inspect it. Then, just press the Delete key. Page scripts can’t block this. On mobile, you have to rely on adding more filter lists.

I’m afraid so. I posted this thread an hour ago and it never left Fedia. We might have to pester @jerry@infosec.exchange on Mastodon, but maybe this mention will reach him.

Here’s the sketch.

I wondered about that. I made a thread about 5 hours ago and it didn’t make it out of Fedia’s…um…bubble.

/r/FloatingIsFun is still set to restricted. We only had about 500 members there at our peak. Somehow, a new post made it in on November 5, and I approved it. Otherwise, it’s mostly frozen in time since June 2023. My own test sub /r/HitstunAdminPractice is still restricted too.

Nice. I’m gonna give Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard a chance to write like me. Here goes:

Artificial intelligence is not a problem with the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure y yo no se que es eso de la vida de mi vida y no me gusta que me lo diga así sea yo no soy yo la que no me gusta estar contigo y tu como estas mi amor y tu como estas mi amor 😍

Uh, thanks for the Spanish? Translated:

Artificial intelligence is not a problem with the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure and I don’t know what that is about the life of my life and I don’t like it when you tell me so be it I’m not the one who doesn’t like being with you and how are you my love and how are you my love 😍

A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I’d be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn’t about emulation.

I bet !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I’d look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.

Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, !Balatro@lemm.ee is the only safe bet I have.

Never send an AI to do a lawyer’s job. Did that registrar have anything to fear, legally?

Same here. I always use the high contrast cards. Are more decks coming?

I recently started Super Mario World: Return To Dinosaur Land, and it feels like a natural expansion pack to the original Super Mario World with new levels. I’ll Learn 2 Kaizo someday. Also still poking at Super Street Fighter II Turbo and !Balatro@lemm.ee.

I’d say ani.social is in need of a retro anime community. Go create one! I might join it, even. I hear people talk about the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) like it’s retro now and I feel really old.

Sub.rehab can help you find equivalent communities to the subreddits you visit. If there isn’t a Fediverse version of your community yet, start your own. That’s what I did.

If you’re nostalgic for Old Reddit, use “Old” Lemmy.

Has anybody found a way to turn Microsoft’s ads off yet? I’m tired of dismissing their prompts to switch to Edge and Office 365 every few months.

Gah, it happened again. This reply to this Bluesky post didn’t make it to Bluesky. I wonder if it’s because I included two links to Xitter.

Whoa, yeah. I sent a second reply, and that time it actually made it to Bluesky. I’ll chalk it up to early adopter jank. We’re used to it on Lemmy and Mbin.

I’m trying Bridgy Fed, but it’s too janky. My Bluesky friends and I are able to follow each other and see each others’ posts. But, I tried to respond to a Bluesky post and Bluesky never saw my reply.
