and by cheap i mean CHEAP because i'll edit a vod down into a highlight reel for $10 per hour of footage!

My usual rates for cutting down vods is around $15, but I wanna support the community more and give a little 33% off sale for yall specifically :)

DM me if you're interested!!

#compsplatoon guys i STRONGLY encourage everyone to make highlight reels of your teams' tournament runs!! they're really fun to watch and the amount out there right now is pretty low!

if you don't wanna edit em yourself tho i AM a freelance video editor and it'd be pretty cheap for highlights..

and people say vac is bottom tier

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 16d

lowkey better than chump bamboo cuz it covers bad matchups

1

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 16d

in sz bamboo is also better at the objective than every charger except pen and it’s even if u run chump bamboo
also ppl completely underestimate how good vbamboo is into one shot chargers, if ur running that the matchup is significantly easier

i’m not saying to just play ur best and expect ur xp to rise, obv u have to have self reflection on if ur making the right plays, but if ur doing that and gaining points then the changes ur making to ur gameplay r right
if u try to play differently and u start losing xp ur playing worse

1

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 16d

u won’t consistently gain points if ur getting lucky wins though (at least in tako top 2k leaderboard) so if ur consistently climbing ur def improving too
obv vod reviewing is the best but it takes a ton of time and xp is the most objective way to quantify ur improvement apart from vod reviews

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

ah ok, ye i totally agree

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

i meant it more as the xp gains reinforce u making correct decisions n playing better so u cant ignore ur xp

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

bamboo doesn’t get screwed over
there’s many very high xp bamboo players, maybe it’s tougher but if ur not here for a challenge why play x

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

i don’t think x rank is unfair. if ur good enough u r able to win 99% of ur tickets
stuff being out of ur control means that u have to adapt and do stuff u normally don’t, so saying “u only need to do what u can” kinda sounds like ur blaming stuff u could overcome if u think outside of the box

rice @rice1.bsky.social · 17d

the point is to get a higher xp bc if ur gaining xp ur improving as a player

Apparently there is x rank discourse now so daily reminder that it is never your fault and if you blame your teammates that is a sign of very high skill

I wanted to give an update on the Balatro 1.1 release date:

TL;DR is that it will not be coming out in 2025, it is still coming out for sure, and I'm sorry. The new timeline is "it's done when it's done"
