    It probably differs quite a lot between different languages but it has been the opposite for my non-English results, it's the only search engine I've tried so far besides Google that automatically pulls up these results without me explicitly choosing the region for them and it actually does a better job than Google of ranking them by default.

    It actually is used in the game, you work for "The Taxman" and he speaks in emojis, but nonetheless the promo images are a point of frustration for me and other players (most of the reviews on steam mention it) because they make the game look like shovelware, cheap and low-effort, but the actual game is far from it. It's actually extremely fun, with a lot of smart mechanics and little details that show how much effort the developers put into it.

    Out of all the Lethal Company inspired games, this one actually seems like a step-up in terms of quality and if you have a few friends that you usually play games with, I hope you'll give it a try, it's on sale for about 7 euros until tomorrow I think.

    You don't suck, the first 20 or so hours are a grind, at least until you get a feel for the game and you unlock most of the jokers and playing decks. I found that for me at least in the beginning the Green Deck had the best results, until you unlock the other decks.

    The best strategy for winning is ensuring that you manipulate your deck such that you get the hand that you want to play almost every time, that means buffing your cards, duplicating them and removing the cards you don't want. The easiest hand to do this with is Flush, so maybe try focusing on that. Mind your economy, try to get to 25$ as fast as possible to take advantage of interest and always maintain a minimum of 25$. Also, most rare jokers that seem OP need a very specific synergy with other jokers, that's why Vampire is very good but the chance of getting jokers that work with it is very low (Vampire+DNA+Blueprint is a good one, also Blueprint is the best joker in the game hands down so take it when you see it).

    Lastly, don't sleep on the blind skips (always skip when it gives you a negative joker for example) and buy spectral packs whenever you see them, they can completely make or break a run.
