Is it scoring enough points when the boss blind is Violet Vessel? The potential of running into Plant when playing photo chad? Is it hitting a wheel of fortune? Curious to hear what you think!
It doesn't necessarily stress me out but rather annoys me, but I really dislike having to rearrange blueprint and brainstorm to copy different jokers for different situations. I always end up messing it up and forgetting triggers
Eternal jokers. It's stressful to be locked into a single joker for the rest of the run, inhibiting it in the lategame. The only exceptions to this is an eternal blueprint/brainstorm.
Battery running low because I'm spending 2 hours in the toilet playing Balatro on my phone
Something that stresses me out is when the game tosses me into scaling +mult with Ride the Bus, and then trying to discard face cards while playing something like pairs. Only scored face cards reset the bus, and if you have a hand full of them with no discards, you will be screwed if you don't burn them in earlier hands. Every time I toss what should be an unscored face card into a hand, I get a bit of a sweat I fucked it up and will blow the run. A learned stress after absently mindedly clicking and making a two pair instead of a pair on more than one occasion, it's not a nice feeling!
