It's literally a popularity contest. You go to the webpage and cast your vote. Generally, the Game of the Year will be the game which generated a lot of buzz, usually by doing something really innovative. Wukong and Elden Ring part 2 are both incredible games, but Balatro (as accessible as it is) has drawn in a lot of /new/ players to the rogue-like deckbuilding genre.
Just realized i havent been commenting much so just wanted to say; even tho I've mostly stopped playing balatro after getting completionist+, I still watch nearly every one of your videos to help myself to sleep, or just to keep tabs on where the streak is at. Just wanted to be another one of the voices reminding you that your dedication and consistency you've shown is appreciated :)
36:47 I gasped for a moment here, thinking that Drac sucking the wild card was going to make the hand a non-flush. I can't believe I'm still learning nuances like this.
pretty sure that the hand counts before the cards are sucked (sometimes i think the bus crashes when a stone card turns into a face card but it does not)
Managed to beat Gold stakes on Anaglyph deck with Madness + Red Card, getting 5 new gold stickers as a bonus last night 🙏 love your videos and they’ve helped me improve my balatro game tenfold since finding you!! Just need to beat Gold on Black Deck and Erratic Deck and I’ll have beaten all stakes 👏✨
Balatro just got a GOTY nomination, man... we were praying for times like these
honestly I still feel like this is a bit random this year to have this game be on the game of the year nominees but I respect your happiness
it came out this year didn't it

Docs yellow deck is so consistent he is trying to get away with more and more now...
The ultra-rare Flush run back-to-back?? Is this even the real Doc ??
Love this series
dang that skip for the double spectral pack didn't turn out well. Maybe the chance of getting 1-2 immolates makes the skip positive EV, but idk.
1/4 of the Spectral Cards are Seals, all of which are "good enough." And with two Packs, you get to see 4 cards.
Hex would’ve been decent too
ur vids help me sleep ngl
thanks :)
WOOOOO
