[pure lynx]

negitive skip came in clutch.

[worthy marsh]

[heavy whale]

so when you do modded it does disable achievements but you can go back into settings and enable them again after like 30 seconds

[worthy marsh]

interesting

[heavy whale]

its literally just one setting

[worthy marsh]

is there another mod i gotta download for that or is it literally just

in settings

[tidal spindle]

Hehe, goofy bugs

Love that game

[opal fog]

[vague remnant]

You might have luck

[opal fog]

i got the trio with judgement

my god

i also got sock and buskin with judgement

[tidal spindle]

Damgggg

[quasi cedar]

I beat purple

Mystic, scholar, pair, trio, yorick

[tidal spindle]

What is that run

Oh my goodnes

[quasi cedar]

Wtf

[tardy eagle]

god i don't think i've beaten more than white stake on the red deck

might be worth to revisit it

[swift trellis]

start simple, have a good run or two in most of the decks to get more experience then try climbing stakes on easier decks to get used to it

thats what i did anyway

[tardy eagle]

i just like having fun around with ghost/plasma deck

not to worried about getting completionist any time soon either tbf

[swift trellis]

thats fair

[agile pawn]

red deck was the last deck i did for completionist+

[waxen trail]

b-b-b-but-but GAMBLINGGGG!!!!

[opaque shard]

Bro who let Porky Pig in chat

/j

[red hamlet]

[waxen trail]

Just because I have about a month on balatro does not mean I'm a thigh high arm warmer choker wearing boykisser

[quasi cedar]

Let's go gambling

[waxen trail]

gambling? Where?

Darn you caught me, but srs I dont wear that stuff

I wanna wear thigh highs but not the other stuff

[pure lynx]

question. does a royal flush count as a straight flush? if not, whats the best strat for straigt flush builds with sience?

[sly grove]

what if jokers have flavor blrubs/comments/whatever

[waxen trail]

Do you have brainstorm?

[spiral ridge]

A royal flush IS a straight flush

[waxen trail]

No

[pure lynx]

i havent even started a run yet, but i wanna do a stright flush build with seince or howver you spell it. i think itd be fun. yknow what i mean?

[lost kindle]

this is why swash is goated

[spiral ridge]

The game counts Royal Flush the same as Straight Flush

[waxen trail]

Royal flush is Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10

Same suot

[spiral ridge]

When you play Royal Flush, it uses your Straight Flush's hand level

[lost kindle]

actually?

[spiral ridge]

Because Royal Flush is just the highest Straight Flush

[lost kindle]

i thought there was a planet for that

[spiral ridge]

So no need to differentiate

[lost kindle]

that i never found

[waxen trail]

Straight flush is like 10 9 8 7 6 of same suit

[spiral ridge]

"Royal Flush" is just an easter egg for hitting the highest Straight Flush

[spiral ridge]

Dawg

Are you actually stupid

[waxen trail]

Im right dumbass

[spiral ridge]

Ur literally not lmfao

[waxen trail]

Same suit equals flush

[spiral ridge]

That's correct

Same suit equals flush

However

Straight flush is simply just the idea of a straight and a flush

[waxen trail]

Straight flush is the same suit + a straight

[spiral ridge]

Straight is all the cards count down perfectly

[lost kindle]

bro what is hapening

[spiral ridge]

A K Q J 10

Is a straight

If it's a flush

It's a straight flush

[acoustic jolt]

What the fuck is happening

[spiral ridge]

Dawg thinks Royal Flush is not a Straight Flush

[waxen trail]

10 9 8 7 6 is also a straogjt

[vivid island]

https://tenor.com/view/confusion-uganda-pasta-confusion-of-da-highest-orda-gif-17341129

[waxen trail]

Its not

[spiral ridge]

It quite literally is

[waxen trail]

No

[spiral ridge]

It counts down perfectly it is a straight and a flush

[pure lynx]

yall sound like you guys are filling in the word count... is a royal flush a straight flush or nah?

[rare yew]

I will ban you both

[spiral ridge]

It is a straight flush

[spiral ridge]

What I do,,, 🥹

[waxen trail]

Oh no sorry localthunk

[acoustic jolt]

Mr Local Thunk to the rescue

[waxen trail]

I will stop

[spiral ridge]

Hai local thunk 🙏

[waxen trail]

The creator himself

[barren dust]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[rare yew]

I just had another banger C++ run, 131/150 now

[spiral ridge]

Also ur answer is four fingers

If u wanna maximize straight flushes get four fingers or even shortcut

[cobalt wing]

Oh huh it’s god

[waxen trail]

Oh nice

[spiral ridge]

Four fingers / shortcut work really odd with straight flushes but they're funny

[lost kindle]

thunk can u buff swash 🙏

[rare yew]

swash is goated wym

[lost kindle]

(its alr goated i waant it better)

[cobalt wing]

How are you doing Mr creator man

[spiral ridge]

Like for example with four fingers and shortcut " 10♣️ 8♣️ 7♣️ 5♣️ 4 ❤️ " is a straight flush lmao

[lost kindle]

further evolution of swash

where its +2 mult for the joker's selling price

[rare yew]

what is the most cursed straight flush in Balatro

including jokers

[finite phoenix]

That should be a straight flush without the 4

[waxen trail]

If one gets it wrong we get banned

?

Jk

[cobalt wing]

Probably one with 4 fingers and the one that makes it so they can be made with gaps and using wild cards

[spiral ridge]

Honestly good question

Probably just a bunch of different suits with Wild Card and a weird number combo

With four fingers and shortcut

[rare yew]

K J 9 8 6 can be a straight flush

[cobalt wing]

Yea

[spiral ridge]

Oh yeah smeared joker LMAO

[vivid island]

something like AD 10D 8H 6S 4H with 4finger shortcut smeared

[cobalt wing]

It doesn’t even need the 6

[rare yew]

omg

[quartz rune]

How much different is balatro on mobile

[rare yew]

you are right

wait no

it needs another card

K J 9 8 2

now that is a cursed straight flush

[spiral ridge]

I love it

[waxen trail]

Where is diamond💔

[finite phoenix]

It can also be 7 ♠️

[pine parrot]

fair and balanced gameplay

[lost kindle]

thunk i got a 10 hr art exam cn u wish me luck 🙏

[cobalt wing]

Not much different except it doubles the “makes you forget about all responsibilities in life” part

[spiral ridge]

I want an achievement for playing the worst ever hand to be a straight flush /silly

[quartz rune]

Alr ima buy it for my plane trip soon

[rare yew]

it deletes plane rides

[cobalt wing]

Yea pretty much

[rare yew]

I play it on every flight I go on

[tidal spindle]

Gl!

Though Im not thunk

[waxen trail]

[cobalt wing]

Getting it on mobile might be the worst decision I’ve ever made productivity wise

[rare yew]

I swap between mobile balatro and crossword puzzles

[lost kindle]

thank you shadow man

[tidal spindle]

Your welcome

[rare yew]

wait 10 hour art exam

[quartz rune]

And should I get it with Apple play for seven dollars per month or just straight up on mobile for ten dollars

[tidal spindle]

Yeah 10 hours is insane

[lost kindle]

yea i went w the art focus in my school

[spiral ridge]

Hey thunk I have a question

Does a Joker that only gives you info / something that doesn't technically help you progress against the Balatro dev rules

[lost kindle]

it was that or computer science

[tidal spindle]

Remember to stay determined then

[rare yew]

probably wouldn't fit why

[cobalt wing]

Creator of Balatro plays his own game 😱 bro is narcissistic 😡 how dare he play one of the greatest games of all time as creator of said game

[rare yew]

bruh who do you think I made it for

[spiral ridge]

Just thought of it cuz I remember seeing stuff like a Joker that just speaks random lines to make fun of you / a joker that calculates the scoring of your selected cards and I always wondered if that was realistic or not

[cobalt wing]

I know I’m joking lol

[tidal spindle]

Me and only me, trust

[rare yew]

the min/max strat would be to never take those jokers

[spiral ridge]

Very true ofc

[rare yew]

so no

[spiral ridge]

Makes sense ,,, abt what I expected

[red hamlet]

so a joker that has no use
and a joker that is just a calculator

[rare yew]

we already have a joker that makes fun of you every run

[quick gazelle]

ily jimbo ❤️

[lost kindle]

john balala

[tidal spindle]

Yo its john balala

The one and onlyy

[spiral ridge]

Not that I thought they were good Jokers but I just wondered if a Joker like that even fit the vanilla rules lol

[barren dust]

balala is crazy

[quick gazelle]

[tidal spindle]

And localthunk in the same area

[rare yew]

every joker in the 150 is useful at least sometimes

[lost kindle]

thunk how did you get ben starr to be jimbo?

[rare yew]

some more than others

[spiral ridge]

Hey thunk what do u think of balala joker poker

[rare yew]

it's slop lmao

[spiral ridge]

True lmao

[tidal spindle]

Yep

[spiral ridge]

R u just gonna leave it up there?

[cobalt wing]

Matador is best joker chat
Just traded perkeo for it 🔥

[spiral ridge]

Or like are u plannin on doing sum abt it

[rare yew]

what can I do

[finite phoenix]

wtf is balalala joker poker

[tidal spindle]

Photochad 😭

[lost kindle]

balatro rip off

[cobalt wing]

Baatro

[barren dust]

i think thunk would have to patent balatro before he could sue

[lost kindle]

balatro isnt patented?

[rare yew]

I have a trademark and I own the copyright

[spiral ridge]

Do u not have any sort of copyright over any assets in Balatro?

[barren dust]

👀

[spiral ridge]

They steal descriptions word for word in it lmao

[rare yew]

do they use any?

[barren dust]

i don't think so

just the mechanics

[rare yew]

assets aren't text

[barren dust]

which is why i said patent

[rare yew]

you can't really patent software like that

nor should you be able to imo

[barren dust]

true

[cobalt wing]

Patents in video games suck

[tidal spindle]

Copyright rules suck 🥺

[spiral ridge]

I mean they literally made the same game but worse ?

They copied p much every joker's mechanics

[shy vapor]

hot take I think patenting videogame mechanics is a bad idea

[barren dust]

like how bandai namco patented loading screen mini games and never uses them

[rare yew]

but legally they didn't use any of my assets nor call it Balatro

[barren dust]

listen i'm just saying! it's what he'd have to do!

[cobalt wing]

Copyright is ok but patenting game mechanics is a terrible thing

[spiral ridge]

I thought bootlegging/ripoffing was against copyright ,,,

[cobalt wing]

Even worse if you never make another game like it

[quick gazelle]

nemesis system incident

[tidal spindle]

Yeah I phrased that badly

[rare yew]

they don't use any of my copyrightable assets

[finite phoenix]

I was gonna say the same thing xd

[spiral ridge]

Like they're just tryna copy Balatro fully for profit and avoid using it's name

[rare yew]

yes

that is what they are doing

[quick gazelle]

it’s so good but they never use it

[barren dust]

they're chinese they're good at it

[spiral ridge]

But like why is that allowed?

[rare yew]

because they didn't break any laws

[lost kindle]

hey what did we chinese do

[flint copper]

As a Chinese, this is true

[cobalt wing]

They’re doing that but they’re just barely in the clear so thunk can’t do anything

[rare yew]

if you're arguing why it's not ethical I agree, but it's legal

[tidal spindle]

Lol

[reef mirage]

btw did you already shared the rarities of next jokers or would never?

[spiral ridge]

I hate legality sometimes 😔

[twin meteor]

It's legally distinct

[spiral ridge]

I hate that they're doing that to u but it sucks that it's legal

[rare yew]

it's ethically shitty

[mental creek]

Balala is such a good game that it forces thunk to work harder so Balatro fanbase doesn't play it instead💯💯

[lost kindle]

every third world country's legal system

[rare yew]

actually it used to be called Balatro: joker poker lol

[lost kindle]

(indonesia)

[rare yew]

and they changed the name when we went after them

[spiral ridge]

WHAT

[quick gazelle]

how bold

[twin meteor]

If it was illegal it sounds like it'd be a nightmare to regulate that law and not have it be abused

[finite phoenix]

If I made a game called plumber obstacle crosser and just made a Mario reskin I feel like Nintendo would strike me down Istanbul

[twin meteor]

lmao

[finite phoenix]

Instantly

[tidal spindle]

How many times do you remember changing the name

[twin meteor]

They can't and shouldn't be able to

[tidal spindle]

I remember it was just called joker at one point right?

[lost kindle]

istanbul???

😭

[finite phoenix]

Typo

Xd

[lost kindle]

what a typo

[shy vapor]

he probably meant to say “instantly”

[pine parrot]

(not constantinople) /j

[twin meteor]

You shouldn't be allowed to own vague ideas like that

Plus you could say it's a parody

[rare yew]

I think anyone with eyes can tell that balala is a total slop copycat game, but legally it's distinct

[cobalt wing]

Maybe they wanted a fancy way of saying Joker: joker poker

[mental creek]

Yeah but they're just very intimidating with their lawyers so it usually doesn't go to court

[rare yew]

like if I DMCA'd them they could defend themselves in court

[mental creek]

I really thought that was a saying

[spiral ridge]

I wonder why DMCA is used as an action-word

[lost kindle]

a verb

[rare yew]

because it's an action you take, a DMCA takedown request

[spiral ridge]

Like "Yeah i'm about to Digital Millennium Copyright Act this guy"

[pine parrot]

because saying "invoke the DMCA" is too long

[tidal spindle]

Yeah, overall its just a not good situation to be in, and in this technological age it just becomes more prominent

[spiral ridge]

Ik it's just funny when you look at any sentence with DMCA in it and just say "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" instead

[lost kindle]

can someone copyright an english word

[twin meteor]

It's better than ATM machine

[lost kindle]

then DMCA someone for using it

[spiral ridge]

Because then half the sense is taken out of it

[twin meteor]

No

[cobalt wing]

Just checked it out to see what the fuss was about and yea it’s definitely copying

[rare yew]

no but you can trademark an english word

[lost kindle]

aw

thats

[shy vapor]

fym “aw”

[lost kindle]

crazy

[pine parrot]

someone ACTUALLY tried that once until EA came over and said "stop being a moron"

[barren dust]

like you know what Apple is right

[rare yew]

I have trademarked Balatro

[lost kindle]

uhh i need money

so

yea

[spiral ridge]

The fact the jokers are AI 💔

[rare yew]

in many countries, I think about 15 countries

[lost kindle]

balatro money is not real money

sad

[tidal spindle]

What if I trademark the word copyright

[twin meteor]

Didn't disney try to trademark the day of the dead

[shy vapor]

fr???

[red hamlet]

i mean yeah
it's slop

[twin meteor]

Like the holiday

[twin meteor]

How

[shy vapor]

oh yeah that

[red hamlet]

React bros tried to copyright React lmfao

[vivid island]

like "tetriminoes" is a trademarked word for tetris stuff iirc but "tetrominoes" is the non-trademarked normal word for the shaped formed by 4 squares

[flint copper]

Why’s everyone doing “Score x Mult” now?

[lost kindle]

thunk what do you think about the JD vance "accusations" for making the pope sick

[pine parrot]

look up "edge games" this is not a joke this genuinely happened

[twin meteor]

Yeah I think it depends on the context

[rare yew]

I wonder

[flint copper]

This wasn’t a mechanic in anything ever before recently

[shy vapor]

aight

[twin meteor]

Like you can use it in a mathematical context but not a video game

[spiral ridge]

Hypothetical question for you localthunk ,,, what would you do if a company contacted you about putting Balatro on an arcade machine

[cobalt wing]

Thunk learn from them it would be nice to see what you will score

Maybe as a joker tho lol cause it might throw the ui off

Ooh or a deck

[lost kindle]

one pair 😭

[rare yew]

Trademarks apply to specific industries only. So I have Balatro trademarked in the industries I participate in but not, say, car manufacturing

so you could make a car company called Balatro

[lost kindle]

so i can ask toyota to make a balatro car

[tidal spindle]

Yippee

[lost kindle]

im buyin that

[barren dust]

im makin a mexican restaurant named balatro now

[flint copper]

Is it not called that?

[lost kindle]

its just pair in balatro

[twin meteor]

One pair lmao

[rare yew]

BUT if you use any assets from the game that violates trademark still, in any industry

sorry violates copyright

[flint copper]

Isn’t it one pair irl?

[lost kindle]

what counts as an asset for balatro

[cobalt wing]

NOT THE MATADOR

[lost kindle]

idk ive never been to a casino

[rare yew]

any jokers, music, art

[lost kindle]

im 16

[flint copper]

Me either

Omg I can now

[spiral ridge]

?

[flint copper]

That’s crazy

[cobalt wing]

Gamble

[rare yew]

I'd do what I normally do with my email inbox

ignore it

[spiral ridge]

LOL

[lost kindle]

so if i build a restauraant named balatro, and hang pictures of jimbo on the wall

[tidal spindle]

Based

[lost kindle]

am i gonna get DMCA'd

[rare yew]

lmao you can't DMCA a building

[spiral ridge]

RIP Balatro Arcade for all zero people who wanted that

[lost kindle]

yay so can i do that?

[twin meteor]

DIGITAL millenium copyright act

[cobalt wing]

Jimbo is one of the best jokers ofc you would

[lost kindle]

oh right

[flint copper]

What pictures?

[lost kindle]

either jimbo or swash

[tidal spindle]

Should hang up egg

[lost kindle]

or trib

[tidal spindle]

Since its the best joker

[rare yew]

you wouldn't believe how many emails I get for board game adaptations

[lost kindle]

nah egg would be the cover of the menu

[barren dust]

thunk you have saintly patience for some of these questions

[cobalt wing]

How would that even work

[spiral ridge]

If I draw the Egg face on an Egg and put it as a decoration in a restaurant am I screwed /j

[rare yew]

I'm just chillin

[lost kindle]

irl balatro when

[tawny pasture]

Oh so you DID get my email 😠

[rare yew]

poorly

[tidal spindle]

You can use this egg

[sand talon]

bruh its local thunk

[flint copper]

Movie adaptation when

[cobalt wing]

I mean as a card game I can see the vision but a board game?

[lost kindle]

can i be the producer 🙏

[spiral ridge]

Board game wtf 😭

[twin meteor]

Terribly

[rare yew]

Balatro board game would suck, I'm sorry. I hate board games and every pitch I have seen has been way too complex

many include a calculator and like... come one

that's awful

[cobalt wing]

Oh hey Murphy

[spiral ridge]

A CALCULATOR???

[tidal spindle]

Based, but yeah Ive seen a few to

[lost kindle]

thats just math class man 💔

[twin meteor]

You'd need like 4 or 5 different calculators and hundreds of cards and so many different decks

[tawny pasture]

Special edition comes with a ti84

[sand talon]

is this a bug?

[tidal spindle]

Yep

[spiral ridge]

Special edition comes with a super calculator supporting up to e5000

[sand talon]

oh its edited lmfao

[cobalt wing]

Oh thunk best idea for Christmas update

[lost kindle]

how would perkeo work in a balatro board game

[vivid island]

special edition comes with an abacus in jimbo themed design

[tidal spindle]

No it isnt

[cobalt wing]

Turn every joker into jolly joker

[rare yew]

I think it'd be sick to come up with a board game adaptation that stripped away all the complexity but gave the same engine building vibe of the game

[spiral ridge]

Clones matter and breaks the laws of physics

[lost kindle]

how r u at 19k ante

[flint copper]

Just duplicate matter

Doy

[tidal spindle]

Bugs

[rare yew]

I have seen nobody make that type of board game pitch yet though

[lost kindle]

mitosis

what if the board game has one dealer

and intead of dong math to gain chips

[vivid island]

tear the card into two halves and count both halves as valid

[lost kindle]

we lose em to get a chance of gaining more

[spiral ridge]

RIP Bozo

[rare yew]

if you need to do mental math to score points, no go

calculator, no go

[cobalt wing]

What if the board game comes with a free human to strap to your wall and calculate the hands

[flint copper]

Balatro dating sim

[lost kindle]

thunk do you hate casinos

[twin meteor]

I think at the point where balatro becomes a decent board game it wouldn't really be balatro anymore, it'd be something totally different

[blissful canyon]

I think a version of the game or a game mode that uses blackjack could be really cool.

[lost kindle]

lusty ojoker

[rare yew]

I think that would be fine

Balatro is a video game

[lost kindle]

what if there were slots beside you aas well

[rare yew]

the board game adaptation could be its own thing

as long as it's fun

[cobalt wing]

And then use those as ripped jokers

[tidal spindle]

Thats valid

[twin meteor]

Yeah

[lost kindle]

monopoly x balatro??

instead of money its chips

[twin meteor]

I think there have been like, 3 good video game board games

[lost kindle]

and ppl have to get the most xmult

[rare yew]

I honestly think people want a board game adaptation as a collectible and not to play

which sucks

[lost kindle]

i'd do both

[tidal spindle]

Me when the motels are full houses

[lost kindle]

i gtg do my 10 hr exam

cya guys

[rare yew]

[flint copper]

[tidal spindle]

Ah, well you could still atleast tell me a bit about how you felt and what it was like

[tawny pasture]

the wife and i picked up the stardew valley board game. its complex enough to be engaging but still feels like the game.

[cobalt wing]

Oh yeah thunk will there ever be x chips jokers
Sorry you probably get asked that all the time

[tidal spindle]

They have a board game

[tawny pasture]

i backed the terraria boardgame as well recently and it looks like im gonna spend an hour setting it up but im excited regardless

[blissful canyon]

When I was in high school I made a black jack board game I called OPPA!!! The premise was that to move forward you had to use black jack. If you didn’t bust you could move forward 1 space, but if beat the dealer you could move 3. If you got blackjack you could move 5. Jokers triggered events, one of which was sending the player back to the start. Game ended once the player made it to the 21st space.

[cobalt wing]

Holy yap

[rare yew]

omg

[tidal spindle]

You gotta share us the results

[cobalt wing]

Cool

[tawny pasture]

if you search for it on kickstarter youll find it. it looks insane lol

[rare yew]

You know it's cool that people can get into board games but as a game designer myself I feel a bit in the 'out' group because I dislike them so much - that probably would hold me back from making a good one

most game designers I know are hugely into board games

as you can imagine

[twin meteor]

The what

That's wild

[tidal spindle]

I cant remember the ladt time Ive played one

[tawny pasture]

i really only like the stardew valley board game. the wifes family is big into them so when my brother and sister inlaw were in town we played with them and had a blast

[rare yew]

I play card games. My fav board game is probably bananagrams

[tidal spindle]

My family doesnt do it often due to being old so I kinda dont know the feeling

[cobalt wing]

Oh yeah Murphy love your vids I’m subbed

[tidal spindle]

Sweeeet

[cobalt wing]

Holy peak

[tidal spindle]

Did you win?

[tawny pasture]

thanks!

[twin meteor]

I love board games but I haven't played one in ages

[rare yew]

my eyes glaze over if the instructions are more than 1 page

[wary sigil]

another day, another jank build

[blissful canyon]

I love blackjack so much I wish gambling was real

[tidal spindle]

LOL

[cobalt wing]

Man I wish

[tawny pasture]

the less i have to read the better. dyslexia is a hell of a drug

[past perch]

Does this Joker really exist?

[tidal spindle]

Those who know…

[tawny pasture]

like case in point lol

[tidal spindle]

Yes

[rare yew]

I think my distain for reading actually really heavily influenced Balatro

[twin meteor]

lmao

[reef mirage]

hmm never occured to me how these action video games could be turned into a boardgame

[cobalt wing]

That might even be more text than the d10 joker in the cryptid mod

[tidal spindle]

Im lucky to live without anything like dyslexia or worst

[past perch]

Damn

[rare yew]

whenever I play video games and I need to read any kind of long description I feel like alt+F4ing

[tidal spindle]

Dang

[pine parrot]

thanks for that AM(?)

[cobalt wing]

Fr

[tawny pasture]

terraria is going to be insanely complex i feel but im down to give it a shot. its my favorite game of all time so i had to scoop it to see.

[rare yew]

I cut a lot of jokers that were good design wise but just had too long of a description

[wary sigil]

As a card game player, reading is my natural enemy

[flint copper]

Polterworx

[cobalt wing]

Terraria never really worked for me personally

[tawny pasture]

i appreciate the brevity of balatros descriptions

[tidal spindle]

Cereemonial dagger:

/j

[twin meteor]

I've just started playing it again recently

[blissful canyon]

I keep asking ai to push the limits of the game to get the best possible hand and it told me if I played it, it would take like an hour to calculate the score

[rare yew]

ceremonial dagger is about the cap

[flint copper]

I wish the wording was a bit more consistent tho

[cobalt wing]

Yeah isn’t it part of your joker guidelines that they can’t be more than like 1 or 2 sentences

[finite shadow]

Yeah

[rare yew]

yeah basically - one idea and about 4 lines of text

[heavy whale]

is this completionist?

[rare yew]

sometimes 5 if I push it

[heavy whale]

oh, hey thunk

[tidal spindle]

I remember the fay localthunk sent every joker and we all worked on the wording

So you can blame me

[finite shadow]

Consider yourself blamed!

[tidal spindle]

Should be

[twin meteor]

I still haven't found 2, they've never shown up early enough

[tidal spindle]

Congratz!

[heavy whale]

i feel cheated, i got three achievements and steam dosent recognize any of them

[finite shadow]

Sometimes you have to win a game before they show up

[tawny pasture]

some of the achievements you have to play another game

[tidal spindle]

I hope that gets fixed

[cobalt wing]

The only wording I really have a problem with is matador lol

[finite shadow]

Happened to me on completionist+ and ++

[heavy whale]

well some of these i got around 5 games ago

[cobalt wing]

Sometimes it triggers and sometimes it doesn’t

[tawny pasture]

consider it a victory lap

oh, damn idk then

[finite shadow]

But you don’t get the $8 if it doesn’t trigger right ?

[heavy whale]

but i guess if i need to i can run a quick one through plasma since that only takes a few minutes

[rare yew]

matador is garbage

[cobalt wing]

Yeah

[cobalt wing]

Glad the creator agrees

[twin meteor]

Matador is annoying but I like the theming

[rare yew]

it's actually a good joker but the design and consistency is horrid

[finite shadow]

Yea I mean. Yea

[heavy whale]

it has potential but i think the main issue with it is its too limited but thats just me

[finite shadow]

It’s kind of a “oh look the psychic. Oh I have $30, 4 jokers, and there’s a matador in the shop” type thing

[tidal spindle]

Its rlly good econ early game

[rare yew]

the main issue is that it doesn't work when it should and maybe works when it shouldn't

it's unintuitive

which is a cardinal sin for a joker

[flint copper]

It should work all the time

[heavy whale]

i feel like im the only one who dosent find it unintuitive

[tidal spindle]

I mean Im unintuitive and a joker, so I guess Im a cardinal sin

[rare yew]

should it work for debuffed cards for example

[finite shadow]

It’s intuitive- just inconsistent

[tidal spindle]

I feel like I understood most of it, just a few side cases and a bit of testing to confirm

[rare yew]

It's not a good joker

[tidal spindle]

Yeah

[rare yew]

I hear it come up all the time that people just don't know how to use it because they can't rely on it

[cobalt wing]

Yeah it really should work for debuffed cards

[heavy whale]

i think either my dog is dreaming about being chased or casing something, either way they suddenly got loud

[rare yew]

Matador will have a new effect

[twin meteor]

My cat is yelling at me

[twin meteor]

He likes yelling

[cobalt wing]

Matador buff confirmed????

[heavy whale]

thats just because its cat

[tidal spindle]

Guys, hear me out, matador is stronger than perkeo, change my mind

[heavy whale]

they said that a while ago lol

[rare yew]

new effect, not a buff

[tidal spindle]

Yep

[twin meteor]

Nice

[cobalt wing]

Yeah rn I feel like the only two bad things in the game are matador and wild cards

[cobalt wing]

Oh ok

[finite shadow]

Wait wdym debuffed cards? It works for the four suits and plant and whatnot, right?

I would’ve sworn it does

[tidal spindle]

Good things wild cards also being changed

[digital quiver]

gg

[cobalt wing]

Oh yippee

[finite shadow]

So excited for this

[tidal spindle]

It does

[digital quiver]

wild card buff? :O

[rare yew]

doesn't for the discard one though right?

the one that discards 2 random cards

[tidal spindle]

You mean hook, no

[cobalt wing]

Idk

[heavy whale]

nope

[flint copper]

It should

[rare yew]

it absolutely should

[flint copper]

Does it for Serpent?

[tidal spindle]

Yeah since playing the hand actiavtes it

[rare yew]

not if you play 3 cards

or discard 3

[digital quiver]

does it work for the "only 1 hand type can be played"

[rare yew]

it's bad, I have a better design for it

way simpler

[finite shadow]

If you play the wrong hand yeah

We trust you thunk

[tidal spindle]

I watched a video on how it worked like 5 days ago and I still dont know

Its an enigma

[cobalt wing]

Alr chat gotta run cya
Thunk you keep doing what you do best

[rare yew]

the problem with a joker like that is that it ends up being a bunch of edge cases

[tidal spindle]

Cya

Have a good night

Or day

[cobalt wing]

It’s 2pm XD

[reef mirage]

shouldnt it if intended for bug fixing. Then it would always trigger per hand on serpent & the discard random cards boss?

[tidal spindle]

Its 12am for me

💀

[finite shadow]

Yeah that’s like the whole point haha

[cobalt wing]

Go to bed

[tidal spindle]

I am in bed

[rare yew]

like I see people say 'oh make a joker that removes the downside of other jokers' or something and that ends up being manual edge cases for every joker in the game

[cobalt wing]

Sleep

[tidal spindle]

I wad reading and saw Localthunk so thought Id chill here

[digital quiver]

which jonkler is this

[tidal spindle]

That would suck to code

[woeful sapphire]

What deck should I use

[tidal spindle]

(Probably)

[finite shadow]

Pixel art smoothing off

[cobalt wing]

What is your resolution

[digital quiver]

uh

dw about it

[rare yew]

turn on pixel art smoothing holy

it has no impact on performance

I should remove that option

it doesn't do what it says

it was mostly a debug tool during dev

[boreal tide]

RAJHHH BEAT GHOST DECK GOLD

[finite shadow]

I used to swear by it off because it felt more raw and then I turned it on and can’t even look at it off anymore

[finite shadow]

Poggies

[digital quiver]

bruh

[tidal spindle]

I remember when turning it off and on caused photograph to become a mid of green joker and drunkard or somethinglol

[woeful sapphire]

Has anyone actually finished a balatro university video

[boreal tide]

most brain dead build

[tidal spindle]

In the january demo iirc

[shrewd fable]

breaking no contact to tell someone ur leaving the steam family so they have to buy their own balatro copy is such a weird experience

[boreal tide]

genuinely just brute forced it

[tidal spindle]

Fun times

[rare yew]

I mean it's not like a game engine has a 'pixel art smoothing' toggle

it's made up

[digital quiver]

oh

[boreal tide]

like bro

[digital quiver]

goated

[twin meteor]

Nice

[tidal spindle]

That was my first gold

[digital quiver]

which joker is that though

[tidal spindle]

I got it like, a day after the game came out lol

[woeful sapphire]

What deck should I use

[digital quiver]

only think I'm missing for c

[finite shadow]

I love brain dead builds

[shrewd fable]

vhich one

[digital quiver]

for what

[rare yew]

what it actually does when you turn it on:

• doubles the resolution of all pixel art and renders everything at half scale so the game can anti-alias the lines within the sprite with the GPU

[digital quiver]

the one I'm missing 😭

[tidal spindle]

EGG

[woeful sapphire]

Idk

[finite shadow]

Plural!

[shrewd fable]

oh lol no clue

let me open the game and check

[woeful sapphire]

Green stake

[boreal tide]

feels good but feels bad at the same timr

[finite shadow]

@digital quiver it’s stone joker

Btw

[tidal spindle]

Kinda makes sense to me

[shrewd fable]

ok makes sense as to why i dont have it either then

[digital quiver]

how to get

[shrewd fable]

marble?

[digital quiver]

have stone card?

[shrewd fable]

itll just show up

[finite shadow]

Idk

[tidal spindle]

Need stone card in deck to appear

[rare yew]

you don't need stone for marble

[finite shadow]

The dude who made it is here tho ask him

[digital quiver]

ghost is fun try that

[rare yew]

you need stone for stone joker

[tidal spindle]

Unless its marble

[plush gulch]

Morning

[digital quiver]

it's stone joker right

[tidal spindle]

If its marble than should just appear in shop

[tidal spindle]

Mornin

[digital quiver]

I have marble

[tidal spindle]

Than yeah need ateast 1 stone in deck for it to appear in shop

[finite shadow]

Yeah it’s not locked you just need to discover it

^

[digital quiver]

😭

I don't use stone

[reef mirage]

i mean, eventually we want to play all the decks. But if you meant for nicer run, then plasma, ghost, or checkered are my personal picks.

[tidal spindle]

It was my last discover to

[digital quiver]

that's probably why

[tidal spindle]

For same reason

[finite shadow]

Just put one in your deck

[rare yew]

stone joker is amazing

[finite shadow]

My last discovery was the damn vouchers

[rare yew]

it's soooo many chips

[tidal spindle]

You can borrow my stone card

[digital quiver]

I don't use stone cards though 😭

[finite shadow]

No matter what I could do illusion and petroglyph never would show up

[digital quiver]

LOL

[finite shadow]

Rock

[reef mirage]

and chadding the stones in plasma is nice and simple

[tidal spindle]

#Glitches for the win

[digital quiver]

wait do challenges count towards collection

[acoustic jolt]

I think he likes Stone Cards guys

[digital quiver]

aw

[tidal spindle]

, just glitches

To bad the glitch requires frame perfect inputs

[acoustic jolt]

Awww

Sad

[tidal spindle]

Its a good thing I have a frame by frame mod for it though

[digital quiver]

🙏

[twin meteor]

I've never really used stone cards

[digital quiver]

about to die in ante 3

[tidal spindle]

Watch bro get it instantly

[tidal spindle]

Tbf they dont rlly have a use besides chips for small hand builds

[vale fog]

hold R

[tidal spindle]

And normally you get the chcips from planets from blue seals

[digital quiver]

nooooo I need the jimbo

[acoustic jolt]

I've played stone cards a whopping

0 times

[tidal spindle]

Based

[digital quiver]

this is my tarot usage

notice how tower doesn't exist 💀

[barren dust]

stone joker is better than wee joker imo

[acoustic jolt]

I think he likes money

[heavy whale]

well to those of you who said i needed to beat a run to get the achievements, i did it and nothing

[digital quiver]

which ones

[tidal spindle]

All murphys fault

Trust

[heavy whale]

speedrunner
extreme couponer
completionist

[digital quiver]

speedrunner is so fun

what is extreme couponer

[heavy whale]

all 32 vouchers

[vale fog]

high priestess higher than hanged man 🗣️

[tidal spindle]

Ah

[digital quiver]

ah

[tidal spindle]

I didnt even know that was an achievement

[digital quiver]

bro I don't get a lot of hung men

I swear

[tidal spindle]

Oh also that reminds me, I wanted to do an all achievements 1 run thing with glitches

[tidal spindle]

Ive been so busy with other things I forgor

[heavy whale]

in one run

not possible

[tidal spindle]

Woah

I just had deja vu

[digital quiver]

1 run???

[tidal spindle]

O_O

[heavy whale]

one achievement is to gold stake every deck
another is to get a gold sticker on every joker

[tidal spindle]

I mean I dont know how many I can get but I think most besides the ones you said above and a few others

[digital quiver]

yeah idk what bro is cooking ngl

oh

[heavy whale]

thats called Max%

and its a thing in basically every game. its not doing everything, but its doing everything possible that can be done in one save

or there is max% multi save
though thats just c++ here

[tidal spindle]

Nah Ill just desync my cloud while deleting and 100% unlocking my profile so that it thinks I did it without the unlock all button

[red hamlet]

completionist base isn't possible in one run because you need to get to ante 12 AND beat ante 8 in under 12 rounds

[tidal spindle]

But yeah Ill try max%, all I need is the luck, but I only need a few requirements

[tidal spindle]

Just skip antes

Duh

(I say like its the most common logic ever)

[digital quiver]

does this scale enough for ante8

surely

[tidal spindle]

Ehhh

To bad the 2 eternal jokers will fall off late game

[digital quiver]

xd

oh that's cool

[tidal spindle]

Ig if you get blue seals from packs and enough stuff you should be fine

[heavy whale]

So anyone got an idea on how to fix my broken achievements?

[tidal spindle]

Nope

Maybe close open game

[digital quiver]

this should win

[tidal spindle]

An excuse to post this screenshot

[digital quiver]

it's not even purple + so it's only 200k

[heavy whale]

Some of those achievements I got a week ago

[digital quiver]

._.

[tidal spindle]

A bit on the smaller side

[acoustic jolt]

I hate this game

[digital quiver]

LOL

[tidal spindle]

Since I didnt add quality of lofe mods yet so I wouldnt lag

[digital quiver]

just got incantation

ez scaling

[tidal spindle]

If anyone saw that, ignore that, its getting late 😭

[acoustic jolt]

You have to be fucking with me bro

[digital quiver]

99% of negative skippers quit before they win it big

[tidal spindle]

I heard you liked face card builds lol

[digital quiver]

😭

[acoustic jolt]

Buffoon pack had Midas Mask and Photo

This game hates me

[heavy whale]

I see you’re in the 99%

[tidal spindle]

Dw, I got a lot of negative tags this run 💀

[digital quiver]

it's 2.25x

good enough

[tidal spindle]

But it could be MORE

[digital quiver]

huhhhhhh

do I sell bus for blackboard

[tidal spindle]

My glitcches know no bounds

[heavy whale]

Much more
Many much more
Moosen

[tidal spindle]

Whats bus at?

[digital quiver]

29 💀

[tidal spindle]

And hand lvls

[digital quiver]

dw about the hand levels

[tidal spindle]

Bro did you not take any blue seals from packs 😭

[digital quiver]

THERE WERE NO BLUE SEALS

[tidal spindle]

Rip

Anyways if you can get lucky draws for chad and lucky misprint yeah, but you should win without that no?

[heavy whale]

Blue seals overrated

[digital quiver]

yeah

[tidal spindle]

Than whats the point lol

[digital quiver]

idk

funny

(I hate bus)

[tidal spindle]

XD

Based

Anyways Ima eep now

[digital quiver]

gn

[tidal spindle]

Good morning

And night

Since its 12:36 am

[twin meteor]

Most seals are grey

[digital quiver]

erm soul 💀

do I even take this

[heavy whale]

Why do yall think bus resets?

[digital quiver]

like do I lose the run if I take it

since it will be useless

[heavy whale]

Why would soul be useless?

[digital quiver]

ante 8 bb

[heavy whale]

Ah

[digital quiver]

oh I guess yorick can scale in time

[heavy whale]

Then yeah I wouldn’t bother.

[heavy whale]

Eh, it will only be like x2

[agile pawn]

almost lost 😅

[digital quiver]

yeah

[heavy whale]

Hey Luna, why does your profile say cute next to it?

Like is that a new feature?

[acoustic jolt]

Fuck you

[digital quiver]

alr lets see what it was

[acoustic jolt]

Here's hoping I get Faces in Standard Pack

[digital quiver]

I thought the seed analyser displayed that

[agile pawn]

[heavy whale]

What is it?

[agile pawn]

server tags

[heavy whale]

What does that mean

[digital quiver]

dang why you hate throwback

😭

[heavy whale]

I agree with them on that

[digital quiver]

I'm coping cause I did black deck gold stake with it

[heavy whale]

I can smell your cope all the way over here

[digital quiver]

😭

[heavy whale]

Belongs in a fire

[digital quiver]

[digital quiver]

wait is black hole a planet card

[red hamlet]

spectral

[digital quiver]

ah

[agile pawn]

that's what the thing next to my name is called

[heavy whale]

How does it work I mean

[jovial parrot]

Hey guys how come Petroglyph didn't unlock

[agile pawn]

join a server that has it unlocked and you'll be able to use its tag on your profile

[jovial parrot]

Does it just not count challenges

DAMN

[digital quiver]

oh maybe I should have taken the mime for blue seals

[jovial parrot]

Man that's such BS

[red hamlet]

Easily peak joker

Emperor? That's .5x right there

High priestess too

[digital quiver]

true

[agile pawn]

i find campfire cool

[red hamlet]

Fool? Might as well be emperor or high priestess

People who don't like campfire out themselves as weak econ havers

[acoustic jolt]

Ok fuck this I'm playing Anaglyph

[red hamlet]

(Though it can be annoying to play with it)

[agile pawn]

i liked using cartomancer with campfire when i was getting a gold sticker on it

[acoustic jolt]

Negative Photochad and 6 face jokers in a row while playing Abandoned

This can't be real

[digital quiver]

LOL

[cobalt wing]

You’re being encouraged

[acoustic jolt]

This game can't make up it's mind

Am I playing straights or what

[digital quiver]

become straight

ramen's biggest enemy:

[red hamlet]

[quick gazelle]

I’m john balatroing it rn

[agile pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/dogs-guitars-gif-7872133

[acoustic jolt]

Cryptid or Deja Vu

Thinking of Pivoting to Straight/Royal Flushes

[blissful canyon]

Bro is using Apple Arcade

Interesting

[digital quiver]

dang madness but all my jokers aren't eternal rn

[blissful canyon]

If I don’t get a royal flush in my first hand I restart the game

[icy lantern]

something clicked since yesterday and now im winning most of my runs

[digital quiver]

wonder if I should gamble this

[digital quiver]

same tbh

[acoustic jolt]

Deja Vu it is

[agile pawn]

what ante are you on
