Quick rant on my RNG

[SKIBIDI CHUKROK]

I just need to vent about my run. It was almost perfect with so many good jokers, and I got them all by ante 3 with these effects:

1. Played heart suit cards give +3 multi when scored
2. Retrigger all your face cards (negative)
3. Played face cards give +5 multi when scored
4. Played face cards give +30 chips when scored (holo)
5. All cards are treated as face cards (Poly)
6. Flush gives +80 chips

I was using the checker deck, which is perfect for playing flush for either hearts or spades. With this combo, I basically get at least 60 chips + 16 multi per each heart card played, which means I'm guaranteed at least 500 chips + 100 multi per hand (including the basic flush combo and some planet upgrade).

The run went so smoothly, I rarely had to think! And that, my friend, is where I went wrong. I forgot to prepare, and in ante 5, the boss's blind says face cards are debuffed... and that's the end of my run. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why does RNG love to ruin me when I have a near-perfect combo?

end of rant, thank you for reading. love the game!

The game is respecting your time? Lol

Classic face-plant.

Lesson learned: do not depend on face cards. Unless you've already faced The Plant.

My Triboulet re-trigger build failed for the same reason so I learned my lesson, chose to aim for an Aces build instead, and cleared both the 100M hand achievement and Ante 12 with it.

If you really want to play a build with an obvious weakness (like face cards, suits, single hand type, discards, hand size, etc.) then either prepare for the worst (always check the next boss and/or have Luchador, Chicot at hand) or live with it. Like people here keep reminding, it's not the RNG's fault if you could see it coming yet did absolutely nothing.

is it not enough everything is random? sometimes you're forced into a face card build because thats literally all there is.

Sometimes you lose. That's life zoomers. Cope.

[Grimmhammer]

Yeah... The boss will get you man.

Also... F the Fish...

The game is fun but the RNG is insane at times. For example, i encountered the Blueprint Joker after 74 hours.

I've tried to beat orange stake about 100 times now and RNG keeps giving me the same Jokers every game AND they are almost always perishable.

I miss the old days when this kind of rant happened conversationally in the school yard rather than permanently polluting the internet like microplastics.

That's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Having some games go wrong makes it all the more enjoyable when a run just works. That's what I love about this game. Every single run is different and you won't win them all.
