I aspire to have the same level of confidence that Woolie has when he maintains that opening hands are not determined by chance, but by algorithm, a claim created purely from vibes.
Every once in a while, there's some drama in the Yugioh or Magic communities where a competitive player is just like, "Stop blaming variance for your losses! Either you suck or your deck sucks!" We all dunk on the dipshit, tell him to go play chess and have a good time.
Every time I've read stories about people supposedly meeting him, they've all said he has a good sense of humor. That's enough for me. Laugh a little, the world's miserable enough.
"less cards in your deck means a higher chance to draw the cards that are in it" is such a core concept of all card games, but a lot of people get stuck on wanting more cards for more options.
this conversation threw me straight back to Pat's deranged rant about Inscryption where he simply could not comprehend the concept of deck thinning and how losing one decent card made the game suddenly unplayable (in his head). Everyone, including the game itself, telling him "a smaller deck is a better deck" and it such a foreign concept to him. Like a PTSD flashback. I'm so glad he understands now it's like a weird euphoria for me.
For real, after the Slay stream I really wished I could just sit him down with an actual deck of playing cards and demonstrate the principle to him physically And honestly, it didn't help that while he was playing Slay, Twitch chat was yelling all sorts of advice at him, all at once, some of it contradictory. He really needed a sherpa for that stream
I don't think he "killed" mind goblins, Balatro judt dressed Goblins in a prettier way so they did not disturb him. Chances are, he will encounter a game similar to Spire and then will go "I guess I **just** don't like these kinds of games" or "these games are all ***bad*** but Balatro is ***good***"
Once again a fan choses to laser focus on one sentence only to lack listening comprehension to absorb the entire video. This is whypat and woolie call chat and comments stupid XD
Ballatro is a great starter card game. There are so few variables that you can focus of learning the way card games work. I'm not surprised that Pat is finally learning basic deck/probability rules.
@@Rhaethyn One guy(Roffle) did a card that hit such a ridiculous number, that it took more than 4 minutes to calculate. It took a while for it to hit a "okay, it's a naneinf, won't count further".
Sort of like how Dive Kick teaches you the fundamentals of fighting game footies, as woolie has put it in the past, I think Balatro does the same for deck building. As a mobile game, I've been playing it on my steam deck for the past few weeks, and it is great. Not just saying that in entertainment factor, because it is a no duh, but also in resource intensity. Played 4-5 hours straight and still have 50% battery life remaining. As an achievement hunter, this has one of the most 'not gonna get it' hard achievement I've ever seen (as of last checking still nobody has gotten it according to completion rates). Just RNG, on top of difficulty, on top of lucky enough to succeed all over again dozens of times.
I'll have to try it out. Midnight Suns successfuly defeated my aversion to card/deck building games and now I can see the fun. Now I need to play Balatro and Slay the Spire.
One game that I'm still mad isn't on mobile is DARKEST DUNGEON. Neither of them are on mobile. The first game is on switch with touch screen controls but I can't get a phone version really? Come the fuck on Redhook.
I don't understand why so many people write Ballatro when on the screen and steam it says: "Balatro". And it's not like Woolie is the only one that did this error, but so many people I saw at first. Why is that?
I can see why Woolz thinks that two pair is somehow algorithmically more likely, I had a run that started with two burnt jokers (courtesy of an early ankh card) and had two pair juiced up to lvl 30 by ante 8 because it was so easy to draw that discarding it wasn't scary at all. Most brainless run I've ever played, barely required any deck manipulation.
31:04 I wouldn't feel bad about not making flower pot work, that joker is notoriously terrible. Even in the beta patch where the suit disable bosses can still use the card's base suit (debuffed cards count for NO SUIT with flower in the base game) it still sucks pretty bad. Even wilds can only count as one suit, it just auto-selects the suit. I think smear joker works the same. Also flies in the face of using death/removes to duplicate and trim your deck, which most high value jokers benefit from. Flower just sucks unless you're desperate and even then it often fails you.

Every time i draw a flush house/five of a kind/etc first draw I think about Woolie's sheer bravado in saying that.
I noticed the tendency to have two pair in my opening hand. It started to feel like that game drifts towards what you use the most.
The very next run I started after listening to that had an 8 card straight flush, J to 4 all Clubs. Woolie shot a big shot with this one

@@XShrike0I'm afraid it's simple statistics. Two pair is just a very common hand
As a Christian I make the executive decision that saying jesus took one for the team is funny as fuck.
As a Catholic, I second that decision.
He took the biggest one, for the biggest team!

thats literally what he did!
Me too!
16:22 Pat: “are you sure that’s not confirmation bias?”
Spoiler alert, it was in fact confirmation bias
Oh no, who could have predicted that?
"less cards in your deck means a higher chance to draw the cards that are in it" is such a core concept of all card games, but a lot of people get stuck on wanting more cards for more options.
Just have search cards so I can get more cards and still get what I want

It is a (not) Christmas miracle!
We've come a long way from Pat going 'I'm sick of building decks! I'm done with deck-builders! No more deck-building.'
It was building as a concept. Like he hated doing decorations in monster hunter world
How long ago was it that they both agreed "builds are a mistake" and how soon after did they walk it back?
Little did he know...
Woolie flatlineing on math so hard he just says the game picks your hand
Friendly reminder that you should drag your multiplicative jokers to the right, so that it calculates at the end and not before your additives
Isn't the order usually Whatever -> Add chips -> Add multiplier -> Multiply multiplier?
Why would the chips have to come before the mult...?@@XShrike0
Also your played cards
@@XShrike0 Add chips doesn't matter, it's just add mult before mult mult
Thanks for the tips!
WOOLIE the pairs thing is the same as the weird math behind the odds of people sharing a birthday, it isn't rigged >.>

@@violetshadowstone5250 nah, you're wrong
True that!
17:08 Woolie gushing over jokers that don't contribute to scoring tells me he's going to struggle on higher stakes.

"if the banana dies you get the ability to buy the cavendish which is the good banana"
wtf are you talking about ?
This is still about a card game?
It’s about a card game but it’s also about the dangers of monoculture in the fruit industry
Made it to ante 17. Blinds hit cookie clicker numbers at that point.
I think my highest score was like 5x10^71? Stupid. So dumb. I love it.
@@Rhaethyn One guy(Roffle) did a card that hit such a ridiculous number, that it took more than 4 minutes to calculate. It took a while for it to hit a "okay, it's a naneinf, won't count further".
This card game sounds like complete gibberish. I bet my wife would love it.
Jesus was said to have a great sense of humor so we can't rule out he was snickering while rising from his tomb 😅
Now I just imagine him Kira laughing as he rises from the dead
Like Gol D Roger from One Piece, he laughed!
I guarantee every other protestant church made an april fools easter joke themselves on sunday.
Also Catholics.
The mind goblins are so occupied with being a parent that everything else suddenly clicks.
it sounds more like balatro is, itself, a mind-goblin.
Ballatro The GOBLIN SLAYER
Also the mind worm slayer.
Mind Goblin deez nuts
I don't know the last time I've seen a game have this much of a chokehold on so many different groups of people
Rising from the dead is a strong april fools bit ngl

Pat is speaking faster than he thinks and then regreting it. Oh no
I get what woolie is saying about the first hand bias because i consistently get one card short of a straight every game
Two straights one card short with a gap in between.
I'll have to try it out. Midnight Suns successfuly defeated my aversion to card/deck building games and now I can see the fun. Now I need to play Balatro and Slay the Spire.
One game that I'm still mad isn't on mobile is DARKEST DUNGEON.

I wanna see Pat give all those deck builders another shot.
Oh, Hanged Man tarot card my beloved
My deck has no bad cards (because I set them on fire)
i just knew pat would like the number go up game
You keep spelling Balatro wrong. That's bad SEO, Woolie! How're you gonna meet Mr.Beast with bad SEO, Woolie?!
I don't understand why so many people write Ballatro when on the screen and steam it says: "Balatro".
And it's not like Woolie is the only one that did this error, but so many people I saw at first. Why is that?
Meanwhile I keep calling it "Balatros" (I have not played the game)
Same way people mispronounce names even when they hear the correct pronunciation several times
CUZ ITS BALLIN'
I am not even sure how to pronounce at this point. Bal a tro? Ba la tro? I keep hearing it pronounced Bal at tro.
more like balls in your mouth atro
Finally, the "Pat stares at card games" arc can begin...
I feal crazy trying to figure out what there saying
I can see why Woolz thinks that two pair is somehow algorithmically more likely, I had a run that started with two burnt jokers (courtesy of an early ankh card) and had two pair juiced up to lvl 30 by ante 8 because it was so easy to draw that discarding it wasn't scary at all.

Can't wait for pat to come in and say "wow this buildcrafting and these builds are so good!"
i KNEW there's something about those blank vouchers. I'm going for it next time!
props to the thumbnail
Yeah!
Balatro is one of the few times your maths teacher was right that you’ll use what they taught in the future.
Another talk from Pat about Mind Worms!
ok, what about balatro tho
6:17
oh i guess that explains it
fine, il play some more balatro.
Oh nooo please don’t twist my arm~
Also try Slice and Dice!

Got my Malevelon Creek cape, good job guys!
I want balatro everything. I want a balatro chess. I want balatro scratchers. I want to balatro my firstborn son
I want Balatro Connect-4
Balatro Uno is gonna be fire
fym episode 267? Is this still april fools or are there 4 phantom episodes? I just heard that whole conversation in 263
I once erroneously sold a Joker, for that sell a Joker boss blind, in the shop. Rip
I've already spent an embarrassing amount of time on Ballatro
Balatro*
Talking about melavolon and a new enemy type before they dropped new enemy types lol
Ballatro
Goblins? Don’t say that too loud you’ll make Vaush think you said Louis and he’ll show up with the horse pictures
What does Vaush has to do with this?
What I’m gathering from this is that Balatro is an actual antipsychotic
yo hang on does youtube make you censor the word "miracle" now?
no lmao his mic just clipped
Balatro GOTY lock it in
Love celebrating Jesus's second birthday
Balatro* 🤓
I dont get the appeal
I do think its funny that they're all in on the card games tho
Like.
Me too!
