Balatro.

Almost every single mention of it I see online makes it sound like the most freaking addictive drug. Any of you seen that Star Trek TNG episode where this weird addictive headset game takes over the Enterprise? Just like that.

It's probably a good game, but all those posts feel really off putting to me.

I don't like that kind of game. I didn't like Balatro. I'm more into realism and simulation though. I had no idea why all of my favourite sites couldn't stop talking about it. Honestly, I think standards have fallen a lot further than we thought. Again though. I'm surviving until the release of Elder Scrolls 6. Balatro was never really on my radar.

i am not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but talking about standard falling and then looking forward for TES6, is crazy. bethesda is the prime example of standards falling lol
