I just did it on a seeded run for fun to see what would happen i didn’t really do much
bruh
owned
skill issue
I played this game for a month not winning any runs then won 4 runs in 2 days
the pain on loosing by a fraction
idk whats more impressive winning 4 runs in 2 days or not winning at all for a while month
nvm its defo the latter
praise john poker
the Twink survived btw
It's definitely the not winning
praise be
what exactly is ruminate
thas what you do to get the bugs out of a house
never heard that word lemme google it rq
'think deeply about something'
I'm ruminating your mom
I think burger is gonna be useful in this run (should I sell rocket now)
she rum in my ate till i think deeply about something
Now to get c++ and ignore c+
she ate in my room till I ruminate
nvm I like money
Big numbers would have been naneinf on plasma
is that fuckin 10^68
ante 24 serpent????
holy
what do these words mean 😭
mb
its 5.286e182 👍
I just rerolled till I got serpent
Baron Pog Baron build
when numbers get that big does it even matter
who cares if its 10^68 or 10^182
i misread mb
how do u survive ante 24/32 with serpent burglar
thats actually an unfathomable amount of difference
Yes naneinf is like e308 and then the number breaks
each exponent is 10 times more than the last one lmao its not linear
naneinf is like 1.8e308
it really is that powerful with red steel kings and baron mime combos
I'm saying my brain can't comprehend it
so theres no difference
both are stupidly huge
on plasma it effectively doubles your score when ur hitting numbers that high
I don't unless I was on plasma
well if i had a dna on ante 24 maybe i wouldve survived
oof
yea well the game can tell the difference and it does matter at high antes
me but poorer
alright
Also this is how
the cards look like candy and im hungy asl
Balatro lag generator
ok I cave I'm buying it
Took 20 mins per round
darn you indie devs
Peak game fr
you're probably already a multi millionaire but take my fucking money
will this break this time
Lewis is invincible ig
k I have it how do I get good
rocket is giving me 13$ per run now
Play alot I have 600 hours rn
That doesn't matter here
I'm chilling
sob
I'm worried for myself
watch ppl play ig
do some math
have fun
cles
using math on games is crazy work
idk how I feel about that
which is why I do it
I think I'll just come here if I want tips
Would've recommended that too
besides that I wanna figure it out myself cuz I spoiled too many games for myself by watching youtubers
so should I finally replace rocket
LMAO
Good idea
EXACTLY
I played through this game because I saw it on yt but didn't watch it but the title said "this game is addicting" or something like that
you do you
I have no regrets
how much have u played so far
when i got like 271k on one hand i was like "wtf thats so op"
Around 2 months of gaming
then i saw roffle
y'all are gassin up roffle like crazy who is he
I'm still waiting for Roffle and Murphy to compete in Multiplayer Balatro
balatro yt
Wait why your pfp look off
oh
He's one of the known balatro gamers
why did you point that out
theres also balatro university
damn
my mind just made it look normal
???
i think he is one of the people who got C++ achievement
irl?
i hate to say it but ancient joker may be a good joker
yt
I pretty much only watch Murphy
it is
I agree, if you play on checkered deck
i beat black deck black stake today with smeared + ancient (+ round 1 rocket)
so basically checkered deck
Get into it
save jimbo btw
mbreast
wtf
have you guys seen a ramen die
Yeah I hate that I noticed that
me eating ramen
yum
there should be like a special joker when you let ramen die imo
havent got a cavendish to die yet
😁
just like Gros Michel, he has Cavendish
baron needs a lot of setup
baron is one of those jokers you need to build everything around
I have a deck of playing cards rn
Hello good morning, I am looking for a texture pack that are the numbers larger than those of the game to not strain the eyes. Do you know if there is any texture pack? Thanks
damn so I just burnt 8 bucks
ofcourse you do
yea 😎
If you wanna persist on Baron build
then find alot of death cards or strengths
and probably an occasional chariot
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1320190307114946602 not exactly what you asked for but there's this
deja vu
i kind of want to make that now
he's probably on red deck so unlikely for him to get that
spectral packs tho
you get cards that look like kings
stonks
you just get more kings in your dcek
if u wanna use baron ur gonna want to turn your deck into kings
wait so if I have to hold kings in hand and all I have are kings then what cards would I actually play
or is it too early to think of that rn
@brave saddle I've already looked but all the ones I've seen are the same size as the game. Do I have to search with a keyword? Sorry for my bad english
Jen's Almanac has those deck skin
anything tbh
i have no idea what mod it was, but it's on Jen's Almanac
though you need your high card leveled up
@slow tulip hav u seen this one?
so is scary face better?
nah ur on a photochad build
on
dammit
how many kings
so stick to smiley face?
currently 20
low
And also base chips
Yellow
depends
@brazen phoenix okay, thank you all for your help
im in tears
I see why this game is so addictive
crunch math
be a gambler and a mathematician
there is just so much shit to do all at once on a tight budget its like real life but with funny numbers
...Actually, given how smiley face is already foil I think the difference honestly isn't that big if you take scary face
Or just make big number
did I sum it up perfectly
yeah but for those "optimal" players, they usually calculate which one is more optimal than the other
yes
no problem LOL. yo sé un poco de español
let's go gambling!
yes
Yeah I play too late at night to try and be optimal
I have obtained death I'm almost there
i stay on the toilet for an hour frantically looking for a dna
the incredible photochad + baron mime
to becoming the best balatro player that has every existed
read how it works carefully
byebye smiley
ok
Just pull a hair or something
Good
death got me once
turned my steel queen into a two of clubs
I saw a video from rtgame where he had a whole bit of saying "turning the left card into the right card" like an anime villain, and that's lowkey been how I remember the order
Death confused me at first as in first like 10 times im dumb asf
op card go right useless card go left
It's 5 am I think I should go to sleep
But balatro is calling me
exactly 😭 when I was new to it i wondered "why does it copy the things I don't want it to copy" and then it hit me,hard
beautiful for both xmult and money
hell yeah
I need strength cards for those jacks tbh
ah damn, borja gone
which joker is your favorite
i thought he meant this
Depends
you can ping borja again
it is a good skin
what's it called?
@slow tulip
Simplified
hard question
do you have a transparent uncompressed version of that
hallucinatoin
wait so do y'all just remember the names of all the jokers and what they do
most
most of them
They should make a free random eternal skip tag
aka the useful ones
i can send you the DeckSkinLite folder
thats crazy
I don't know the names of a lot of the +mult or +chip when hand jokers
can you just upload it in #⚙・modding-general maybe?
But I could name the rest I think
100+ hours
what
they're pretty mid so they don't matter much
how many casualties have been caused by balatro
Though I haven't played that much resently
I can name every joker sadly I play alot
does a four of a kind count as a two pair for the spare trousers card
LOL
no :<
bug
it does not sadly
4oak ≠ 2 pair is a bug i think
I can't name them all rn I need sleep first
it still gives you the points, it just doesn't increase the number
you're probably fine
u dont need a 2 pair to use the mult u got
It's not a bug ._.
i thought you were doin a baron build
I was tryna get a flush cuz I had 4 hearts but I wasn't discarding the kings cuz of the baron
No a two pair is 2 separate pairs
and all 4 discards didn't give me a single heart
yeah
try it
my 3oak is level 2 but 4oak is still better
might just get there
ok I'ma math it real quick
Now for black deck gold stake your ready I think
ok I'm chilling
If i delete balatro on my phone will it delete my phone acc?
prob not
dunno
is that how they measure difficulty
Stakes are difficultys
black deck is objectively the worst deck
That's what I meant to use lol
hardest
I love black deck
what does it do
Same
it's hard
a big hard black deck
black deck is +1 joker slot -1 hand per round
What would happen if i use ectoplasm that say -4 hand size when i have 3 hand size
you lose a hand, in real life
u get all the cards in ur hand
believe whichever one u want to
I started playing the game 5 mins ago
Okay 👍
me when i lie
u die next round
is a hanged man good
good for deck fixing
hanged man is great for deck manipulation, you see cards you like more & you see cards you don't like less
Todays Balatrodle
building for a specific joker build
Okay okay ,thanks
Why do my screenshots keep not sending ._.
hanged man for deck thinning woooo 
oh ok so I can just remove a 3D and a 4C permanently?
reset
ye
everything in balatro is situational, it seems like there's nothing that's ALWAYS good to take except maybe blueprint
booprint
he just started so he prob has neither bp nor bs
valid, I always forget you unlock more as you go along
just unlocked stuntman like two days ago, never used it yet
Here the difficultys
ok so like how do I play this
jimbo dies and turns into an ace
ante 1 investment tag
all my screenshots are bugged with a billion exposure don't mind that
damn thats interesting
it depends on what the tag is, but generally I agree
I thought difficulty was just increasing the number u have to achieve glad its not that
Hdr moment
2 of them are
Yup
shame
Fun fact
This works
I'm too used to hdr I don't wanna go back
if it made my game look like that, I would want to go back
It doesn't make it look like that
ok so how do I play this
It's only screenshots
Kkqq, keep the gold
disabled it for some time I need help
but baron :(
baron is only goated if you got the kings to back it up
Level up your pants playing two pair and full houses
Baron won't help much without flat mult to back it up
or is baron just not the vibes for a noob
I started 5 mins ago this is legit my first ever run
you can get to the point where you only draw steel kings for your hand & if you have a decent base mult, your numbers will skyrocket
thats crazy
Baron is how you score infinity
takes luck & committing to that strat in the early/midgame when you realize you have the capability
5 copy jokers, baron, mime
And 44 steel Kings with red seals (88 if not using plasma deck)
Here's 49 on ghost
I think it was 49 atleast
It's really funny how 182 seems close to 308
Then you realise you're 126 zeros away
It is 308 just one deck away
I haven't pulled off naneinf, I've gotten to ante 13 with copies, dna, & mime though
I am so stuck it feels like I need to relearn actual poker bruh
Christmas
Just a week away
Won't help
It only takes like 40 ._.
the hands may be the same, but you have to derive the math that's contributing to your score & optimize your joker stack & hands played
81 in your case
I wanna blame it on dumbass hands I got but nah I just suck
Skill issue
So you have 88 Kings in hand
lmfao my friend got a negative luchador
yea this is not the game I play to relax
Use 100
Copy with blueprint and sell the blueprint when you want to proc luchy

mobile:
tbf I guess everything will click into place if I just get more hours in
Ye
Yeah pretty much
works with bs tho
Okay okay
I need to do some hw I'll get back to a new run later ty all for the help
babys first steps am I right
it's a tryhard time waster
"8.93e307"
I have months before I go home & I can afford to burn an hour or two on this game almost every day
ic
honestly not the "best" but pretty good for a random run (I didn't expect it take this long)
SINCE WHEN WAS BALATRO 15$ I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS 10
I was lowkey tweaking out when I saw it was 15$ like "Did localthunk increase the price???"
Not that it matters
Greedy twat /s
wouldn't another three 1.5x mults from in hand be worth more than a couple 1.5x base mults from playing it?
I'd argue the current amount is too low, and like, I thought it increased from 10$ to 15 because that just would make sense lol
2 triggers while in hand vs 3 in play
Doesn't matter as much since you got other faces but ye
fair
I play mobile, but I'm not opposed to buying it on PC & switch at some point
I guess so
It would only matter if hand was all kings
yeah I thought the jokers make in hand far more powerful than played polychrome
dear dagger fans, i would like to apologize for my ignorance, and from now on i shall never talk shit about dagger again
2x + 1.5x 3 times in play
1.5x 4 times in hand
i hope the content update makes us move on from red seal steel king hell
I'm still fixing my deck, though it's ripping through my money because of how unlucky I'm getting
I kinda hope for a photochad nerf to 1.5x instead of 2x
the only way for it to change is more retriggers
Dagger is fun when you're playing for fun
Dagger gets goated
there probably won't be a nerf to that, given I barely find a seed where I could pull it off
my $20 egg got something to say
No I'm not zzz
It's still just 40 flat mult+ it adds at the end of every hand
do you think it's more fun to play to 8 for stickers or go for silly strats in endless?
Considering they're common jokers that can be better than 4 uncommon and a baseball card?
so it doesn't get multiplied by a whole lot of other jokers
Up to you
I only really do stakes for decks rn
the entire run i was living on the edge until this bad boy shows up
not with my x6.5 cat
it's a life saver on runs
hello ipff,ntw
oh hell yeah
I don't know what I think tbh, I'm playing this game to burn some time for the near future
think I'll start a run
there isn't much counterplay to baseball card shenanigans, meanwhile the infamous green boss blind's gonna ruin your photochad without a vhs voucher
baron is peak in rich get richer, just as i predicted
ante 12 is the end of everything silly tho
i predict riff raff will be peak in on a knifes edge
I agree to a nerf though if baron high card gets one too
what, because everything after that is just grindy & redundant?
won knife's edge with a riff raff
Why tf would they nerf baron high card
baron hc really doesnt need a nerf lol
it's horrific in ante 8
because ante 13 is like 10 billion and nothing else other than a few specific strats work
It's pretty horrible In none endless
too real
baron high card is the only exponential growth joker in the game
ok i'll give you that
that's a skill issue
it is, but not that good
it make sense, that's what I mean by grindy & redundant- the game kinda plays itself at that point
baron without a steup is 😭
until you hit hand size limit
you can't pull it off which means it's not good? 😭
lol
it's one of the best combos for it's rarity in the game
im proving your point further
chad is top 15 jokers /gen
pair it with alot of negative cryptids and it really is exponential
kind of a dumb question but what does /gen means
genuine
srsly rn
do you think photochad could be nerfed? or do you disagree?
yeah but you need a linear supply of those
It's going to end bad but lols
Did you see this
I think that chad needs a nerf, not photo
Yes
y would u need a tone indicator to imply u are being serious when the whole point of those is to specify when u are joking?
annoying boss blind
....?
so that people don't think I'm joking
like, srry, im not very used to these things
what's wrong with the balance of the game that photochad needs a nerf
Tone indicators are for indicating tone
no worries
Mfw theres more than 1 tone
evil and intimidating psychic
chad is far too versatile for a common
Garfield!! Are you /srs or /j !!!!!
when u joke, the sentence can be implied multiple ways, but when u are serious, there is only one
there should be commons that are good
the best nerf would be a middle ground between current chad and old chad; making it retrigger the first two scoring once
there should be uncommons that are niche
lucky cards, gold seals, edition bonuses, chad can spam it all
there should be a legendary that's just kind of mid compared to other legendaries but is really good for almost any build
Old chad was D, current chad is A+/S
Problem is that chad is good, photo is good
And together they're brokey
there are some that doesn't make a whole lot sense tho, like i have no idea how /hj means after years
what did old chad do?
Half joking
chad is insane and photo is okay
why is bro saying zzz 💀 yo uare clearly joking
care to explain what's half joking?
it's a problematic tone indicator
chad isn't that good, not for every build
A funny dwarf
because it's vague
i know, i just don't know the description since people has a lot of those
i understand it but i know a lot of people don't so i agree /hj sucks
1 glass card and you have photochad that's more versatile
Today’s my birthday!
Enough hands to royal flush each time
Maybe they could tone it down to the first card of the first hand every round
it's fine as is, is the thing
i don't feel obligated to go photochad every run. in fact i rarely do
black deck is the death of me
chad doesn't always help me. there is no joker that always helps you
I barely beat black deck on white stake, I'm avoiding it
there is no joker that is always welcome and there is no joker that is never welcome. that is good
I have it upto purple stake rn, i hate how much I restart runs with black deck
-1$ is a pretty big deal apparently
one thing i see a lot of people do and complain when the run goes wrong is always going for specific strats, like even if it utilizes 2 commons, the majority of runs, they aren't showing up, i always try to let the runs decide what to give and try to work w/ them
snowballs into the worst earlygame experience you could imagine
northernlion rant about how you can't just try a build
who's that?
that's the essence of roguelikes
someone do the calculations on this
Which one should I copy, the giga chad or the mime (I have alot of kings and decent amount of glass ones)
eh
you take what you get
guy who was mad at chat for suggesting they "try the duck build" in super auto pets
if you've not experienced the highest end of difficulty I don't think you can really say the balance is fine for that
same reason y extra $2 interest in yellow is so good
painted deck > black deck
you're definitely pigeon holed into the strats that work, one of them being photochad, because of how common and strong the combo is
that's not saying anything
also free invis joker!
yes
erratic deck so fun tbh
the most annoying one to get is also the most worth it
idk maybe because I'm used to using more jokers
oh yeah, free straights 
just play on painted deck imo
beautiful
almost impossible to not have a pair in hand
well well well
I play for achievements, then I mod if I want new content
Easy 5oaK 🥲
Rip a ouija
Now I remember, my last one Joker is 1M chips...
flush five setups
it's S9AQ4SLY if you wanna try it
Is it normal to have never ran into cavendish despite having apparently 129 completed rounds with gros michel according to the stats page?
Genuine question I'm convinced the thing doesn't actually exist at this point
A lie made by the Obama administration
this is insane
@balmy horizon Green Joker + Obelisk + 2 Cavendish:
The conditions to make cavendish possibly appear is sort of up to chance and then you usually have to reroll for it considering its one of the many commons
random joker concept:
"Shiny joker"
uncommon
has a 1 out of 3 chance to turn a card played into a polychrome
I maybe doomed
Make it rare
Polychrome is a hella strong effect, too strong for uncommons
I guess that makes sense
btw, funny how the only 1 in 3 Joker that ever existed is Bloodstone pre buff, which is just funny
Ummmmm
2/6 banana with oops 
and it barely gets triggered not unless you have oops all 6's back then
oops doesn't count
Hope you run out of gas in the middle of town
Damn
already, never again
He is the petromancer, he can summon more petrol
No way I survived
Holy shit
My commute to work is gonna rock if I get this job
I get to look out the window and look at cool cows
this seed has soul btw @random tendon
it gave Perkeo
This shouldn't win orange stake
it could
how did it happen? lol
did i mention it has a bp too
full house!!!
im brok 
Is there any way to see past ur top 10 most used jokers/consumables etc
yes balatro stats
i accidentally about 22.5gb worth of balatro footage and now its eating my ram
Yeah past the top 10
Didn’t know this was gonna go so hard
Finally failed with my 3 burglars
Nicee
Do you live in that neighborhood that’s on a steep hill?
Noice
I'm just lazy to put up my phone
a good balatro time after a hard days work
- music is soothing
funny
dsbm truely calms my nerves
Not yuri jokers 💔

Someone posted a reddit walk-through earlier today but idk where the link is
Oh my, im getting crazy nat negatives, (clown and hallucination)
Moss rock
Negative chaos is crazy
how did you do this
as in like
how do u not have the analog look
teach me
analogue is the wrong word don't bash me
the arcad-y look
ykwim
Yuh but u need a pc i think
Yes
I dont have one
don't ignore me I know you see me
turn off crt and crt bloom
Ahh sorry
omg ty I've been having a headache the past 10 mins cuz of that
All good
Personally I think it's a bit dumb but there's probably some legal mumbo jumbo involved
okay, I had no idea that hanging chad + photograph was so powerful
I didn't expect it to retrigger photograph
I think its bc pirating games on mobile is 10x easier then on pc
Just download the apk and ur good to go💀
I'm so hyped
I'm about to go by the bit with the cows
SWANS
God my work commute is gonna rock
Lmao no
It's a lot easier on pc
Ive done both and mobile is easier wdym?
Ads
The 🏴☠️ support in pc is way better than mobile (it's practically non existent)
I do
It's not like it costs much
Oh okay, let me just
Oh it's 60 dollars 🙂
It's just that I still pirate games for benchmarks and if I hate the devs but love the games
Also no demos nowadays
I do? Ive only pirated games that i have bought on other platforms that arent indie games
15 bucks goes a long way
This^
15 bucks goes a long way for the developer of the game who gets to decide how much to sell their work for
I will NOT be paying for games 2 times and i will NOT be buying games without testing them
And most people that pirate games are poor people that can't spend 20-60 dollars on games, since they spend it on more important stuff
Brother i dont think that 15 bucks out of the millions matter to miyazaki💀
Not all people are willing to spend that much
Plus you're not the only person buying it
Then they're welcome to not play the game
There's like thousands more
This too. Im 14 how tf am i supposed to get money if i dont get money from my parents and cant get a summer job
no way i hit polychrome on wheel and aura.
also WHY Justice copies are gone from the shop the moment i get Canio
Okay, so tomorrow I'll put you to work painting my fence and not pay you for it, is that okay with you?
Thats like saying homeless people arent welcome to live cuz they dont have money
Piracy is always a problem of economics, it's almost never because somebody doesn't want to pay
Literally the creator of Ultrakill himself that he pirated games, which was the only way he had access to those games as a child
Thats why i love hakita
Gonna say this but thank you for posting
No, no it's not
Piracy was never a price issue, it's a service issue - Gabe
Yes it is tho
It literally is
I get the point
Culture should not exist only for those that can afford, because if that's the case, then that culture is long gone
Give people a convenient platform/service with a reasonable price, they'll spend their money there
But even the there are people who cannot spend money on side bits
but comparing piracy and homeless people is crazy
rolls eyes
"rolls eyes" 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
It gets the point across
"all vaguely cultural things should be free or society is dead"
Yes 🙂
yeh... sure
I mean, why not
because creating cultural works costs time, effort and money
Also if piracy is a proplem and it matters if people pirate games then why do game devs still make games if they wouldnt earn profit?
and the people doing it deserve to get paid
Yeah
And they do
Devs already made the game
The money you're spending is gonna go into shareholder pockets
Unless it's indie
It's not because we don't want to support them, people sometimes don't have a possibilty to buy the game
If devs didn't get paid cause of piracy
Why is mojang still in business
And do you think those shareholders will pay for the next game if the don't actually make any money?
If you can afford to spend money of games, go for it
But if you can't, you shouldn't be excluded
"if piracy is a problem, why is the company that sells the single most popular game of all time making money" <-- hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@balmy horizon I think I've found a way for both the Green Joker and the Obelisk to work together:
I'm not condoning anything but access to culture is important, look at libraries
Do you know how fucking popular minecraft cracks were?
You have to be 12 to not know that
Even i have a minecraft cracked version 💀
Word of mouth is also going to support a creator more than 15$
Even 12 year old me knew how popular cracked mc was
word of mouth of how to crack the game?
yeh - that's going to do great for the dev
.<@
Word of mouth about how good the game is dumbass
I say this again
Piracy was never a price issue, it's a service issue
except that's bullshit - as all the minecraft cracking highlighted
it was way easier to buy the game than to crack it
I mean word of mouth for the game, as in advertisement, playing a game and supporting it with good ratings or just recommending the game is extremly important
it is a good way for the game to grow and more people to play the game
Tell that to gabe himself
hi
And I don't think LocalThunk made the game for money
That's his quote
hi
Okay, well, when you paint my fence for free I'll tell everyone how good a job you did of it - that's surely worth your time and effort painting my fence
HIII
It wasn't CHEAPER
For people who DO NOT HAVE MOMEY
oh... so money is the issue?
yes
I thought "service was the issue, not money"
USE YOUR BRAIN
There isnt not a single dev that would give a single fuck if someone dosent pay for their game. If there is one its their proplem their game isnt making money
Quoting the creator of Ultrakill: Media shouldn't be only available for those who can afford it
For the most part it is, but it doesn't overrule that most people can't afford it
People pirate games because they're too expensive. They shouldn't be excluded from participating in gaming culture because they can't drop 20, 30, 60 bucks on a game
As a games dev - I have never met a single games dev who is not really fucking angry about people pirating their games
I mean, if I had a bissnuess and I gave you it and you told all your family and friends about me, that would be extremly usefull
I will NOT be paying to enjoy music
What games did you make
I bet its called fuck and all
Devs that get mad at piracy are either rich or work for triple A studios
Is that why all the painters in my local area work for free? I mean - I can call any one of them up and say "yeh, come paint my fence, I promise I'll give you word of mouth" and they come round in SECONDS!
Brother ur the only dev who cares i know the creator of a indie game and he has said he could not care less abt it
To be honest, I can't say you would work a 9-5 for free
Prolly those ps2 graphics "horror" games where a mission is to start a generator
oh... huh? Painters want to get paid in more than word of mouth? I never would have guessed!
turns out that people doing a job want to get food on their plates and a roof over their head
Problem is
DEVS ALREADY GOT PAID
I wonder if the same applies to games developers
This is such a hectc conversation
God I hate people stuck in capitalist mindsets
- Not indie devs - indie devs just took a huge risk on their time investment and only get paid after the fact
Just cuz ur game is ahh and dosent make money dosent mean every game is
It's almost as if I mentioned that earlier
If you pirate an indy game you're litterally taking money out of the dev's pocket
@dapper dust , what's your issue with piracy? (curious, not trying to belittle you)
is it just the fact that the developer doesn't get paid?
Dev not getting paid, wah crime
uTorrent and piratebay in 2025 💀
Old ahh pic
The people pirating weren't gonna pay for the game anyway, while the people who pay were always gonna pay for it
My issue is that if you value their work enough to play it, you should also have the decency to pay the price they're asking. You can argue till you're blue in the face about "zomg, capitalist mindset", but we live in a capitalist world, and games devs don't get to eat if you don't pay them
if the world magically changed to a perfect communist utopia, then great, don't pay
but we don't live in that world
Pirating by definition is not stealing, that's just what corpos are trying to narrate it as, it's technically borrowing, because nothing was actually stolen
I use steamrip or fitgirl now
Lets say theres a homeless man on the street who cant afford food do you think its right for him to steal food or not? @dapper dust
Yes its right for him to steal food
I know a friend who pirated a game but eventually bought a copy
it's an offline game but he bought it anyways
No court would convict a guy stealing food
(it's cheap but still)
But it's a crime? So it's still wrong for him to do it right?
Yes, but there's a difference between necessity and wants
Oh so sealing is right now
Legally, yes
Morally, no
See this hole in ur point
Do not conflate legality and morality
This is the same with piracy
At any point the corpo can just go "you don't own this anymore c:"
So buying isn't owning anyways
This is incorrect as games aren't food
Piracy is peak cause its also media archiving
Yes, I believe that all people have the basic right to enough resources to live. That isn't equivalent to "everyone has the basic right to play computer games for free"
this is why we sail the seven seas matey
I would say piracy is illegal, morally bad, but has enabled many people to play many more games when they can't afford it yet, and thus can be argued as a net gain for the gaming industry
Also aint in some countries people get paid less then 5 dollars a month?
Hell, you can't even buy some games in certain countries
It's only morally bad if the people that are pirating have the actual means of paying for it
I would love for someone to pay for a 60$ game in a country like that
@dapper dust
Respectable take, they do deserve to get to paid for the work they do, and I don't said they shouldn't.
Piracy has been and will always be a important part of it because if we are in a capatilist world, there are always going to be money issues. People don't pay because they don't want to, it's almost entirely economics.
Piracy allows for people to spread media alot faster, even if it may seem unmoral, but I think it's important if you wan't to create something not solely for money.
Media and enterntainment is an important part for culture, that's why we have libraries and everything, just sadly they don't always what the need or want.
And to have easy access to to games or movies is important for it allows people to create creative works as such before, because if you look at anything, it was based or inspired by something that the developer/producer/etc. watched or played back in the day.
We think piracy is important because of word of mouth marketing and the ability to enjoy culture without being held back by money.
Idk if my rambling makes sense
TL;DR: Piracy allows for faster spread of media and it's important for culture or smth
cough sony technically not letting people buy their games in over 180 countries cough
In any case if you want to be capitalist, just remember the pirates were never gonna pay for it anyway
I agree, there are nuances that determine whether it is more or less bad, but at the most surface level, piracy is stealing, which is bad
If they can't pirate it they wouldn't suddenly buy it instead, so they're a non factor when it comes to sales
👆
As I said, piracy by definition is not stealing, it's borrowing
Meanwhile people who have the money to buy it are gonna buy it anyway even if its piratable
I agree with this
I wonder if the creators of Battleships are gonna sue me for playing their game on a piece of paper
Piracy is not stealing, piracy is the act of stopping a sale from happening
Pirating isn't a completely free endeavor, it comes with issues such as compatibility, searching, and updates having problems
Alr thats it ill call the police
I had the means of pirating dead cells, but I never did since I can save money for it
And most consumers won't bother with it
Is it really a problem if the sale wasn't going to happen in the first place?
I have had to pirate games cuz i cant save for them
It will either
Happen in the future or not
The pirates didn't stop other people from partaking in the sale
never said it was a problem, I think that was the definiton of it, idk
Otherwise it's just seller's remorse
It's the definition corporations ans the law gives
To justify cracking down on it
Few days ago we talked how taking estrogen is good now were talking abt piracy i love this server
I love taking estrogen
(im a male btw)
Just like as a prank ofc
Who wants to be my estrogen pumped pet under my bed
I dont take estrogen but i support it
mmeee :3
Also I don't fully understand why old movies have so much support for archiving, but old games don't, especially when those game publishers don't even earn any money from it anymore
Games just aren't taken as seriously as a media
People unironically argue games can't be art
This
Ironically, after this advert was released, it increased piracy lmao
Similarly with animation
It made it so cool
How
Animations just get overlooked constantly because it's considered "childish"
Animation byitself is literally art
In terms of accolades and recognition that is
Me in 2077 with a techtonic ripper mk4 sealing a 4mil one or a kind car thru the internet
They only think that because most animations are popular with children
Mainly talking about the movie scene like Hollywood and shit
Same with games lol
When animation is a medium to show your art
Explain that to adults
And the average citizen
Animations do have much more recognition than games do though
Chat, kinda offtopic and I'm sorry but anybody know what I should do today?
Drugs
May have gone a little overboard >-<
Pirate games
(Don't do drugs, kids)

perkeo or the rocket
My dealer's sick
My dealer's sick
Sad

Off topic were talking abt estrogen again
Perkeo if not going endless
Make your dealer better again
the US law right now:
Cure him
💀
Build won't last into endless much anyways

Ontopic again let's talk about estrogen
My pillow looks like this
What is wrong with you
The yellow man's pillow
Goon juice
Yellow deck?
I've had it since my childhood
All the cards are lucky diamonds
This is actually dried goon juice prolly
It's probably mostly sweat
It's just sweat
A lot of sweat
I don't use pillows when the hand exists
Years of sweat
Thats what a gooner would say
Every man has a trauma
insert a pee joke
$10 intro blueprint is just a psyop
It's to trick you into feeling bad and then losing
Yellow deck could buy it
Now here's my actual pillow
Off topic were talking abt estrogen and goon pilllows
Yellow could buy it and nuke the interest
does your pillow start with 14$? 😭
Not as bad as concrete floor
Unironically, I think concrete floor goes hard
I mean it is hard

Das un joke, ya
