Not sure where to find a Balatro thread with busted search.

Im having a hard time to see why its so fun but everyone raves about it.

Is it worth getting on Android or is better played on Steam/Steam Deck?

Golden Idol is also free on mobile/tablets if you have a netflix account. i played yesterday on my tablet and it was fine, sort of a point and click mystery solver like old Sierra games from the 90s or something. i don't get the hype for it tbh

i have no real problems with any of the GOTY contenders, they are all solid games that look great and don't have all the "my pronouns are" bullshit of something like Dragon Age. Its cool to see Wukong on the list. Lot of people are up and down on both Rebirth and Infinite Wealth so its interesting those two are there, I have a feeling they'll cancel each other out. I could see something like Balatro winning.

The Case of the Golden Idol?

That's free on Game Pass right now. I got a bunch of achievements out of it.

About time.
Absolutely nothing good can come from this. Look at how bad Sony has fucked up with Bloodborne over the years. The game never even got a PS4 Pro patch so it still runs like shit on PS5 (including Pro) in every way except load times, a PC port is never going to happen, etc.

Elden Ring 2, all the bosses are misunderstood creatures who have been misgendered and became evil, your job when attacking them is to figure out their correct pronouns and use it as a special attack to bring them peace. Then to reward you from saving them, there’s a cutscene of a gay sex scene between you and the boss. When fighting the final boss, you’re about to lose and come to the realization that you’re non-binary and accept who you truly are and become invincible and win the fight bringing diversity and acceptance to the land.

This game would be sure to save the gaming industry from toxic white male gamers.

Sony is in the middle of fucking up every single 1st party IP they have, including their own hardware and business systems. Shit subscription services, horrid UI's, bullshit proprietary hardware/codec feature sets, and DEI inclusion on their most popular 1st party titles.

This is exactly what we DO NOT need. Sony needs to get their ass kicked and I do not want From Software being roped into Sony's fucking mess of epic proportion.

I hope that NEVER happens.

Edit: It seems Sony is mainly after the manga/anime IP's, the game studios like From are a bonus. Still, I hope it never happens.

They cited sources familiar with the acquisition, lol
I mean Kadokawa officially responded that they've gotten the offer, not much more past that but it is in talks it wasn't just a rumor. Also worth reminding that Kadokawa group isn't just Fromsoft, it's also a very large amount of the manga and anime industry, which Sony is also a large part of(well the anime, not sure they own much in manga but could be wrong). These are both good reasons for Sony to want Kadokawa, since that'd give them both a strong game studio for PS exclusives and also a quasi monopoly on anime production(on which they already own a large monopoly in terms of exporting anime since they own Crunchyroll)
