fix tarot death card text

[_galaxy]

I ALWAYS get confused which card becomes who.

how about "the left card becomes the right card" even if the text isn't fancy?

"Select 2 cards, convert the left card into the right card"
How is that hard to understand? Is the word "convert" too complicated for you?

You got a fair point, 50 hours in and I keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up somehow. I guess that's a personal skill issue tho.

Ruining a great run due to death misuse is just part of the balatro experience.
Converting that beautiful red seal glass king into a 3 of clubs? Everyone should do that at least once before dying.
But don't worry, doing it right becomes second nature after a while.

That's fair, but like... having to stop and think about what the card does every single damn run is just not fun.

I kinda like these kind of 'trolls' the game hands me as it keeps me on my toes. I cannot count how many times I've discarded a hand I wanted to play too. :)

I mean the sense of humor in this game is different, and I like it.

I hope it is left the way it is.

The wording you suggest is no clearer than the wording you're objecting to. That part of the wording is as unambiguous as it can be. There is room for ... neater... wording by instead saying 'convert the left card into a copy of the right card' (adding 'a copy of'), but it's not actually any more or less clear about the card's function. (There are reason table top games will tend to use such wording, but they don't apply to computer/video games)

The thing about this card that trips people up is that, with the cards in the default order, you almost always (there are exceptions, of course) want to turn the Right card into a copy of the Left card, which is the opposite of what it does. The need to first rearrange the cards makes it somewhat unintuitive, and would probably be better if it worked the way people Expect (turning the usually-worse card into the usually-better card when everything's in the default configuration).

But that's not actually a problem with the wording.

It's not like it picks if it says left or right randomly, and you have to read it to figure out which it is. It's always consistent behaviour. If you mess it up once, that can be attributed to a text issue. If you mess it up afterwards, that's a you issue. To quote a proverb: "A donkey never hits the same stone twice."
