Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

I'm too dumb for StS, Balatro hits that sweet spot in difficulty for me

You say that, but I never made a spreadsheet to optimize my Slay the Spire runs. Balatro is way harder and more random.

Still fun though. I'm 50 hours into Balatro and loving every minute of it. Just made a hand calc spreadsheet last night as I'm pushing into blue stakes and need to optimize every move to keep the numbers going up.

Playing on the gold stake, I think I don't make it past the first ante like 80% of the time. I might be too greedy or just bad at the game, but in StS I can make a decent run on ascension 20 at a much higher rate.

You should be able to play Flushes, Straights, or Full Houses and win in the first Ante without any buffs. Does the -1 hand size from Gold Stake really hurt that much?
