@Hapless23 I may check this out. I do enjoy Blackjack, and my anhedonia following purchase of the Fancy Toy has been odd, and rough.

@PrsdntRaygun I bounced off Balatro, Dice A Million, and Cloverpit but I guess blackjack is my drug of choice (helps that in the early game I could still advance the story while figuring out all the synergies even though I was losing a lot)

@DietCoke_Esq I’ve done it myself. That was after waking up with the spins, some frantic googling, and reading the Wikipedia entry. Still got it to work for me after a few tries. Prolly even better with a Dr.

I will note that no translator I know has ever just rendered it purely literally as 'many-turned' (Fagles is closest, 'the man of twists and turns').
It has gotten 'prudent' (1669), 'resourceful' (1946), 'of many ways' (1967) 'of many wiles' (1990), 'cunning' (2000), etc. etc.

For the benefit of this chuckle-nut who thinks 'complicated' is an error for πολύτροπον, rather than a translator's choice, here is the definition block for πολύτροπον from the LSJ - published in 1843 - with the relevant bit highlighted.

In Emily Wilson’s own explanation of why she misleadingly translated ‘polytropos’ (literally ‘many-turned’ or ‘many-turning’) to the pejorative epithet ‘complicated’ when describing Odysseus, she gives the correct translation:
Wish me well pocket friends, as I do you because
It is bedtime.
English
Hoping the night smells are better tonight and
Goodnight pocket friends
