old telescope would make a good nebula rework i think

[rare yew]

why you replying to me I'm in chat

[rigid night]

What was old telescope?

[dapper creek]

yeah i saw this, i understand, just wondering if there was any further updates, don’t mean to pressure you

[solemn elm]

force of habit, why u replying to me

[cedar echo]

Mr. Bones and Lucky Cat would not be happy

[bitter flame]

Do u still play your game often ?

[long atlas]

i need to see this man redone

[rare yew]

because my reply is related to the message I'm replying to

[solemn elm]

at the end of every round you choose from one of two planets

[long atlas]

chocolate joker:

[solemn elm]

ohhhhh that's true /s

[glad oriole]

mrrow

[inner tiger]

LT: what was this deck supposed to be?

[rare yew]

what is with this chat

[glad oriole]

i am sorry

[rigid dove]

Also if he didnt þeyd confuse which message hes replying to

[rare yew]

why are you meowing

[glad oriole]

is just what i do :3

[bitter flame]

Habits u could guess

[glad oriole]

i can stop if u dont like

[cedar echo]

Old run that sadly ran into the one thing it was stopped by

[solemn elm]

thunk, do you have a 7's joker in the works?

[wintry halo]

discord channels left unmonitored for some hours

[dapper creek]

it’s always the way 😔 💔

[long atlas]

thats what the dogs gonna do trust

[cedar echo]

The plant is easy

[inner tiger]

pls don't clog up the chat while thunk is answering questions

[rare yew]

I guess this is general server chat but it's a little annoying seeing so many messages unrelated to anything

[tardy hound]

are ya bot or what

[inner tiger]

this is rare nowawadays

[bitter flame]

He's about to crash out

[solemn elm]

#thunk-chat...

[rare yew]

this is why I made thunk chat true

[glad oriole]

??

[solemn elm]

bring back thunk-chat

[rare yew]

nah people got mad

[dapper creek]

usually. not if you’re running a face card build lol

[glad oriole]

civil chatter still a thing!!

[wintry halo]

oh I copped a copy of project hail mary at walmart for 20 usd with tax

[glad oriole]

why

[rigid dove]

.-- .... .- -/-.. ---/-.-- --- ..-/-- . .- -.

[cedar echo]

I never run face cards lmao

[solemn elm]

english only please

[tardy hound]

please support mod on mobile

[rare yew]

because it was being moderated more than the normal parts of the server

[wintry halo]

without the movie poster

[dusky geyser]

Thanks for making a great game and being willing to answer questions Thunk

[bitter flame]

Real

[solemn elm]

because the owner of the server was always there...
fork found in kitchen

[rare yew]

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it

[dapper creek]

L

[rigid night]

This game makes me want to learn Lua

[dapper creek]

this. truly one of the game devs of all time

[cedar echo]

Face cards suck wym L

[bitter flame]

Game is fun. I even got friends that are COD tryhards to play the game for hours. They loved it

[cedar echo]

💔

[dapper creek]

as much as the game makes me mad sometimes, what a great game it is

[dapper creek]

☹️

[candid kernel]

i think the last time i ran a face cars build was with stm

which oh wait that was literally my last gold stake run

[cedar echo]

My play time is average 23-35 hours a week

[dusky geyser]

Genuinely one of the greats and I think you've got a bright future and all that sappy stuff
It's a lot of work to handle what you've done with such grace and I think that's awesome

[long atlas]

my favorite joker 🗣️

[inner tiger]

I've been dying to know what this deck from the game files of the demo? Maybe? was supposed to be. you can plead the fifth if you want

[candid kernel]

photochad is an once in a blue moon for me

[rigid dove]

Favorite face card build ive had

[rare yew]

There was a time way back before launch when this place was always on topic and we would point random messages to #🃏・off-topic, but since there hasn't been a lot of new stuff happening with the game over the past year or so I get why it's more random messages in the usual channels here

[dapper creek]

damnnn lol mine is maybe 15 (very rough estimate)

[bitter flame]

Uncommon sucks baseball card 😠

[rare yew]

so once there is a 1.1 to talk about I bet it'll be more on topic in general

[cedar echo]

Skill issue

[tribal knoll]

mine is around 30 to 40

[wintry halo]

it was really bad a few hours ago, ig two years of no updates makes people go insane

[dapper creek]

baseball card is amazing wym

[bitter flame]

Yeah ik just trying to ragebait bro a bit

[cedar echo]

L, fail, Ik I'm a great joker

[solemn elm]

i know you don't have a release window for 1.1, but do you have plans for a public beta test for 1.1 any time soon (~6 months)

[long atlas]

we need around the clock mods mayhaps

[rigid dove]

Like low A tier

[long atlas]

yall stop prying 1.1 it’s done when it’s done 😭 🙏

[wintry halo]

for the most part they respond within seconds

[solemn elm]

did you even read what i said

[candid kernel]

is this supposed to be #🕹・game-discussion 2

[bitter flame]

Atp Balatro is gonna receive a silent update lol

[candid kernel]

or rather vice versa

[long atlas]

yes and i now realize i misread it that’s my bad

[wintry halo]

game discussion but with opinions

[solemn elm]

that's okay

[rare yew]

it used to be more like design talk originally

[candid kernel]

so judt game discussion

[rare yew]

and game discussion was actual run discussion

[wintry halo]

so like art and such

[candid kernel]

i see

[dapper creek]

we know

[rigid dove]

Interesting

[rigid night]

We're just excited

[wintry halo]

ah
i mean there's only so much to talk about after playing one version so it'll probably change back to what it was slowly

[rare yew]

hopefully yeah

I mean it'll also be super crazy in here too

more people

so might have to make a new channel with mega slow mode

[dapper creek]

are you a millionaire yet

[bitter flame]

We are 200k fellas almost on the server

Is lit!

[inner tiger]

okay i feel like a dork for asking a third time, sorry lol. Would you be able to tell me what the idea for this deck was back in the day? @rare yew

[bitter flame]

He been farming golden ticket

[wintry halo]

a new channel? for like when the update comes out and activity is at its highest? im lost

[long atlas]

i read renfaire at first i love renfaire

[rare yew]

yeah essentially

[dapper creek]

gonna have to google that one

[rigid dove]

Ren fair? Like rendog from hermitcraft?

[long atlas]

renaissance fair

[rare yew]

so the players can chat about the new content and I can chat with them without people like.. meowing. And saying they can beat each other up

[candid kernel]

the

[solemn elm]

i love slowmode, most people don't and I think it's just that they spit their messages out as soon as they think of one

[dapper creek]

ohh

you saved me a google thanks haha

that does sound cool

[long atlas]

it’s sooo fun

[candid kernel]

a 5 second slowmode is fine

[solemn elm]

thunk-chat had higher slowmode iirc

[rare yew]

it would depend on how many people are there

[candid kernel]

god i remember when game discussion was insufferable with random images

[wintry halo]

man that would be a blessing

[rare yew]

we did like 30 second slowmode in thunk chat and that was good

[dapper creek]

you love slowmode? wow 💀

[solemn elm]

it makes people not split their messages 40 times, yes.
i'm dyslexic, so anything that makes something more readable is awesome

[dapper creek]

that’s fair honestly, but not in a general chat like this

[long atlas]

well in servers with big people it stops spam

[rare yew]

It makes it easier for me to follow

[dapper creek]

i understand that but when you have something meaningful you want to say but can’t, it’s so annoying

[rare yew]

This is fine for server chat, since this is the main chat for a large server now

[wintry halo]

i think 15 seconds minimum would be sufficient for existing chats from all the conversations I've walked into regarding things not balatro

[rare yew]

like it can be spammy

[dapper creek]

unfortunate but still definitely take it

[solemn elm]

you should just type more in one message rather than posting 4 messages to say the same thing then /gen

[long atlas]

wait we should do a poll if we should bring back thunk chat

[dapper creek]

true

[rare yew]

this is a dictatorship

[solemn elm]

i think it's more of a thunk vibes thing rather than a community desire thing

[dusky geyser]

I'm also curious about this

[candid kernel]

i mean most meaningful words should take alteast 5 seconds to type

[long atlas]

yknow fair enough

[dapper creek]

bro leans to the right 💀

i won’t get political in here tho

[rare yew]

please don't

[bitter flame]

U just said something political lmao

[dapper creek]

don’t worry i’ll save that for twitter

[rare yew]

just stop

[long atlas]

ew yucky politics anyways i just had a fire pizza

[candid kernel]

talk about hanging chad and fist instead or something

[dapper creek]

yeah but i will stop

not the time or place for it

[long atlas]

do yall microwave or air fry/oven something to warm it up

[rigid night]

Who is Joseph J. Joker? I've seen his Business Card but I have no clue what he is

[candid kernel]

air fry

[bitter flame]

Political talk so boring! Can we talk how blueprint loves brainstorm instead

[rare yew]

some person with a business card clearly

[fathom fjord]

Air fryer is the goat of all kitchen appliances

[rigid dove]

Jospeh J joker is joseph j joker (pay attention) /ref

[bitter flame]

How much money does Joseph J Joker has

[long atlas]

it’s like if it had the speed of a microwave and the crisp power of an oven

[rare yew]

how would I know

[candid kernel]

1 in 2 to give 2$ per face caed

[rigid dove]

You made him

[solemn elm]

i know you've talked about it in the past but have you decided whether you'll let people disable content by expansion/update or DLC like RoR2 or was that dealt with previously and I'm just not aware?

[rare yew]

Nah I made his business card

[long atlas]

enough to give you money for every face card apparently

[rare yew]

I have not decided no

I lean towards just updating it for everyone

since it's an update not DLC

[solemn elm]

the modding community is very active and there are already tools made to disable certain content, so i think it's fine to update for everyone, personally

[long atlas]

what if you pulled a minecraft and made all past versions accessible through a menu

[rare yew]

there's plenty of precedent, and I'm trying to make the game better so I feel like 1.1 is better than giving the option

[bitter flame]

Joseph J Joker greedy then he never gives me money

[rare yew]

if I were to give the option, it'd be within steam

[solemn elm]

steam already has that with depots

[rare yew]

like a 1.0 depot

[fathom fjord]

You may have said this already but is the mime quick time thing going away in 1.1

[wintry halo]

prob

[bitter flame]

120%

[solemn elm]

how do you feel about pre-release/demo versions being out there in the wild

[rare yew]

how should I feel

[solemn elm]

i don't think there is a "should"

[bitter flame]

He feels like a fool!

[long atlas]

robots gaining sentience:

[inner tiger]

We may not get an answer.. this question has had me curious for a long time. only two unknown decks on this page: https://balatrowiki.org/w/Decks he could be toyig with the ideas maybe so has to stay silent

[rare yew]

the only versions that are out there in the wild are versions I released to the public

so I don't really think about it tbh

they're worse versions than current version

still WIP

although someone showed me a mod of a 'prerelease' version of Balatro that was clearly just a mod with things I've leaked about old Balatro

[wintry halo]

i think for damage control in this channel he has to stay silent

would be my headcannon haha

[solemn elm]

I do believe I've seen that

[rare yew]

and it didn't make sense to me because there were things that didn't coexist in it

[long atlas]

i think of different version accessibility like the different smash games
like ultimate is obviously better but people still enjoy playing melee and stuff like that

[solemn elm]

can i get a matador leak :3

[wintry halo]

no

[solemn elm]

would love to see how you're treating my boy

[rare yew]

lot of people asking for leaks in here

[long atlas]

i can give one

[solemn elm]

call a plumber

[inner tiger]

there is a chance im summoned to the conference room and scolded

[dapper creek]

es krim 😋

HOLY W SHOWMAN

[rare yew]

that's a goated showman

[solemn elm]

I wish I wasn't so desperate for new content, but I am. balatro my beloved.

[long atlas]

some could say… the greatest showman…

[dapper creek]

i like this one they’re funny

[bitter flame]

LMAO cricket is funny

[rigid night]

The wording of the High Stakes achievement hints at possible higher stakes than Gold. "Win a run on at least Gold Stake difficulty". Will that ever happen?

[wintry halo]

im just hoping the update doesn't coexist with another major game title release like gta6 or sts2 or some other starter

[inner tiger]

i know not to ask about new contesnt was just curious about old relics, really.

[solemn elm]

did you fix any of the typos in the code for 1.1

[rare yew]

omg no

[solemn elm]

selzer

[wintry halo]

lmao

[long atlas]

first time for everything 🥀

[dapper creek]

do you know how to see the code?

[bitter flame]

Selzer funny asl

[rigid dove]

If you say it 3 times your question wont suddenly be answered

[solemn elm]

7zip

[dapper creek]

ohh

[solemn elm]

hold on lemme find my favourite one

[rare yew]

can you not

[solemn elm]

oop sorry

[bitter flame]

LMAO

[dapper creek]

poor guy

[solemn elm]

he caino get a break

[bitter flame]

Brother

[rare yew]

bruh I just want to come in here and chat what's with the 3rd degree

[rigid night]

We're excited

[dapper creek]

yes

love this man

[long atlas]

my wee joker is shaking from excitement

[bitter flame]

WEE

[fathom fjord]

Never cook again

[solemn elm]

tiny balatro

[sonic shard]

how rare is it for thunk to drop by

[long atlas]

i burnt pasta once

[dapper creek]

smol 🥹

[rigid dove]

She 2 on my wee till i 8 chips

[long atlas]

some could say it’s quite… wee…

[rare yew]

so pre launch, that one deck was going to be a daily challenge deck originally. That was on the roadmap for 1.0

[fathom fjord]

How what. On a pot?

[bitter flame]

Balatro Balatrez esta jugando a Balatro

[rare yew]

it was actually in one of the demos, a reference to an upcoming 'daily challenge mode'

[wintry halo]

woah

[solemn elm]

yeah :(

[wintry halo]

that's kinda like btd6 advanced challenges in a way

[long atlas]

you’re asking me bro i put it in a pot of water and forgot about it and now i have burnt noodles

[rare yew]

but I don't think daily challenges will work for Balatro

[fathom fjord]

Balatro battle pass: everyone gets the same (hidden) seed and highest score wins

[rigid dove]

Eternal used to be a daily challenge?

[dapper creek]

oh yeah i do have a question. on oops all 6s, why is the example listed 1/3 —> 2/3? the odd denominator feels really weird to me and doesn’t fit with the rest of the game

[rigid night]

They could, like making jokers have the opposite effect for example

[solemn elm]

localthunk has since learned the pain of promising content

easier to keep someone in the dark than to let them down

[wintry halo]

requires a lot of maintenance

for having daily challenges

[rare yew]

people cheat them and I really thought it'd be cool to have a global ranked leaderboard. I thought I came up with a cool way to make it uncheatable, where the game actually records inputs and simulates those inputs on a server to validate the score

and I actually made that version of the game, and tested it with a headless version of Balatro

that part worked

[solemn elm]

"headless"?

[rare yew]

but people can scout seeds with a seed searcher, and I have since learned that other turn based seeded games have this problem

[small sand]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[rare yew]

the whole leaderboard is full of scouted runs

[long atlas]

unfinished i assume

[rare yew]

headless means it doesn't render anything

[wintry halo]

yeah just scout it on a different account and then play it on your "main"

[small sand]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[dapper creek]

real

[solemn elm]

Balatro has cost me like £130

[long atlas]

how bro 😭

[bitter flame]

Real! Balatro really showed me there's more than being a sweaty. It showed me to enjoy the game

[rare yew]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_software

[solemn elm]

3 digital copies, special edition, jimbo plush, card deck, desk mat, & something else i think

[dapper creek]

decapitated balatro

[solemn elm]

balatro my beloved

[rigid dove]

Baltro is tied wiþ celeste and deltarune for my favorite

[long atlas]

headless horseman joker would be sick

[dapper creek]

omg

[long atlas]

i wonder what her special interest could be

[dapper creek]

i want

[solemn elm]

1000 hours in Balatro...

[dapper creek]

i’m nearly there too haha

[long atlas]

it’s okay dawg me too

[solemn elm]

when 1.1 comes out I will redo C++ on all 3 of my profiles

[dapper creek]

some merch

[bitter flame]

Are u playing balatro rn?

[rare yew]

I'm redoing C++ in 1.1 too

I'm pumped

[rigid dove]

No im on discord

[dapper creek]

@solemn elm where’d you get ur balatro merch

[wintry halo]

me four

[solemn elm]

fangamer & makeship

[dapper creek]

k thanks noted

[rare yew]

we sell stuff on the Playstack website too!

[hexed canyon]

Noted

[inner tiger]

thanks thats actually not at all what I expected

[dapper creek]

might have to get the calendar before i forget and it’s halfway thru the year 😂

[inner tiger]

really cool pipe design though

[solemn elm]

have you considered making a Shirt that's the erratic deck pattern all over

[wintry halo]

what we got now is a cool looking red maze design

[rigid dove]

I mean we have challenges section which is (presumably) þe same but not time locked for no reason

[long atlas]

we need spare trousers pants

[solemn elm]

balatro pyjamas would go crazy

[rare yew]

why you þ

th is right there

[dapper creek]

omg yes

[rigid dove]

More efficient

[rare yew]

not for me

[wintry halo]

mix and match

[solemn elm]

do you have a þ key on your keyboard

[dapper creek]

why he so thorn

[rigid dove]

Icelandic

[bitter flame]

Not for me either no idea what are you saying sometimes

[dapper creek]

ahh thought so

[long atlas]

it’s a one letter difference dawg plus it makes it so hard for everyone else to read

[bitter flame]

Ohhh

[rigid dove]

Its about þe principal

[bitter flame]

Huh

[wintry halo]

what does an icelandic keyboard even look like

[solemn elm]

principle

[dapper creek]

you forgot the ☝🏼🤓

[solemn elm]

principal is a job

[inner tiger]

theres acctually two on here. But my first guess is that the other deck is misinformation

[solemn elm]

the 2nd deck is already known

[rare yew]

those were both unused

[long atlas]

i always assumed it was beta plasma because of the design looking like chips/mult balancing

[rare yew]

wait was the 2nd one foil

[inner tiger]

I see the design on he bottom a lot in mods. And this is from a Wiki, so i just didin't think it was real tbh

[solemn elm]

my source is Math, who asked you.

[hexed canyon]

Idk man was it

[rare yew]

uhhhhhh

I'd have to check

[hexed canyon]

😭

[rare yew]

there was a different deck used for editions

[inner tiger]

this makes sense lol

[rare yew]

but this might have also been used

[solemn elm]

ya ik there was foil holo and poly at 8/4/2 or a similar ratio of cards in deck

[inner tiger]

god i keep replyinh to the wrong thing tonightt

[rare yew]

3/2/1

[solemn elm]

and then there was braided deck which was your most played hand gets 3 levels iirc

and silver deck...

start with a random joker

[rare yew]

all that content was bad tho

[solemn elm]

starting with a random joker is good in theory, but in practice it has the Erratic Deck problem

[wintry halo]

what a fun and absolutely necessary roguelite feature 👅

[solemn elm]

where people just reset until they get a joker they like

[bitter flame]

Sometimes bad is fun. Only sometimes tho

[rare yew]

the edition decks only make sense in the context that they used to be the only way to get editions on playing cards

[rigid dove]

So before aura

[solemn elm]

did you ever consider making Silver Deck like Eden in Isaac where you get a "token" every time you win, and starting a run on Silver Deck uses up a "token"

[rare yew]

no, if anything I was considering making your seed only reset when you defeat a blind/go through the next shop

so you can't hold R for different starts

without wasting a lot of time I guess

[solemn elm]

that sounds like something I would like to be in the game now...

[rare yew]

yeah me too

THAT would be controversial to add now

[wintry halo]

ofc the majority would prob complain

[dapper creek]

as someone with a less than 1% win rate no thanks

[long atlas]

make it a toggle maybe? automatically off for new players perhaps

[rigid dove]

How

[dapper creek]

tfym how lol it’s balatro

[rare yew]

no, giving players options for game design is asking them to design the game

that's my job

[solemn elm]

btw with new content, how much of a consideration are achievements, i.e not adding more decks so C+ isn't grindier, same with C++, etc

[rare yew]

I should be the one serving the best game I can and letting the chips fall where they may

[dapper creek]

you don’t win 😭

[rare yew]

pun INTENDED

[long atlas]

bars

[rare yew]

they'll be grindier

[solemn elm]

do you plan to add any new achievements? :3

[rare yew]

if I do they'll only be silly ones

[rigid dove]

Will þe blue stake change make it easier or harder?

[long atlas]

good because those are the fun ones

[rare yew]

that þ is so frustrating to read man

[solemn elm]

you should just do what you did for tenor gifs and ban messages with þ

[rare yew]

oh good call

[solemn elm]

😎

[rigid dove]

Ok fine

[solemn elm]

its annoying to me as well so im all for it

[wintry halo]

im wondering how the shop and setting ui improvements would look like

[rigid night]

localþunk

[solemn elm]

every time i read it as a p

[long atlas]

localbunk 🥀

[rare yew]

timed that guy out

[dapper creek]

ngl i think that’s your problem

[wintry halo]

every time I read it I short circuit

[inner tiger]

what about like an "iron man" game mode. you can never reset and all stats are recorded, with a leaderboard?

[wintry halo]

woah

the c++ dream

[rare yew]

oh damn

wait how would that work

[inner tiger]

im thinking right now it could only work i guess at the end of C+

or maybe its one deck

[rare yew]

no like mechanically

how would that work

what is 'you can never reset'

[solemn elm]

you can make a profile like... "hardcore mode" and you can't hold R or play on lower stakes, you can only go up to higher stakes unless youre at the highest stake, uhhhh

[long atlas]

i assume it’s like you HAVE to finish a run whether game over or winning

[rigid dove]

Remove the new run button until you win ir lose a run?

[dapper creek]

i don’t mean to nag and i know it’s hard to answer every single question but i would appreciate an answer if possible

[solemn elm]

bloodstone used to be 1/3

[rare yew]

but I could just like.. lose a run intentionally instead of holding R

[inner tiger]

You have to play every seed, and have to give it your all because maybe theres a %finished weight

[rare yew]

that's what holding R does in the normal game

it counts as a loss

[solemn elm]

it doesnt btw

[dapper creek]

really? wow 😂

[solemn elm]

it doesnt increment the loss counter in your profile, it just resets your winstreak

[inner tiger]

Im spitballing i havent thought of this til now

[solemn elm]

so holding R lets you avoid the Mr. Bones unlock

[rare yew]

omg Lilo

[solemn elm]

hi what's up

[dapper creek]

what winstreak? 💔

[rare yew]

I mean that it resets the win streak

[solemn elm]

sorry :P

[rare yew]

like it doesn't count as nothing

[dapper creek]

ik lol i’m just saying i don’t win twice in a row

[solemn elm]

u should make it count as a loss in 1.1 though

[rare yew]

should I

[wintry halo]

im all out of rhetorical questions for today

[dapper creek]

maybe if i played white stake i could

[solemn elm]

cant be having people who hold R seem like they have a higher winrate (only viewable with external tools or checking the file manually)

[long atlas]

that’s the death of erratic deck

[rare yew]

I'm not dumb

back on track

[solemn elm]

i think that's a stat you should add in the base game btw

[rare yew]

ok

What would not allowing resets look like?

[solemn elm]

as you can see wins in game but not losses

[rare yew]

ok

[halcyon sleet]

hi localthunk!!

[dapper creek]

what is this 😭

[wintry halo]

i need to see how many times I've died to flint haha

[rare yew]

Like in other games, losing immidiately might be considered a reset

for an ironman game mode, I don't think it's that different to just throw a few hands away if you want to restart a run

[long atlas]

deck starts you with 3 negative mr. bones

[rigid dove]

Why

[long atlas]

not eternal but unsellable

[halcyon sleet]

a tv show called corner gas

[dapper creek]

uh ok

[long atlas]

to prevent throwing and losing the point of the deck (lack of resetting)

[rare yew]

StS has a partial solution to this where they have the whale bonus only if you make it to the boss in the first act

so it incentivizes not resetting

or Neow

[long atlas]

if anything this should be a challenge not a deck

[rigid dove]

Yeah but then you could save them for anye 8

[long atlas]

make em perishable

[wintry halo]

so maybe a special stake for iron man mode in the form of adding some sort of event at the start of the next consecutive run?

[rare yew]

well that doesn't feel very 'iron man' to me

[long atlas]

foxy jumpscare every new run

[inner tiger]

yeah i think that would be cool. I know the doc could help us with correct formulas, but a bland deck where you have to beat every stake and you can't reset. Maybe a loss makes you restart, or maybe each loss counts against you with a percent completed modifier (ex: 3.3/8 if you died during ante 3 big blind.) You also must play every stake in this game mode All boss chip scores would have to be the same for leaderboard purposes, so no violet vessel. And maybe to be truly iron man (in the true iron man mode I'll bring up later) every ante 8 boss is V V lol). anyway, you cant repeat stakes you've won, and the sum of your winning score [total boss blind chips? total run chips?] multiplied with the percent loss modifier [tbd how that would work] is your score on the leaderboard. maybe each stake is weighted because you can score like crazy on the lower stakes. Or keep it as is.. and high scoring low stakes is just part of the game. since people will optimize that and break it lol there could also be another category,

true iron man: timed or most chips. a loss sets you to restart to white stake. just win 8 games in a row white to gold and the fastest time or mostest chips is number 1. All time, year, month, day.

People love this game a loooot obviously. And i think people would love to see their name on some official balatro board somewhere and not a third party speedrunning website.

[rare yew]

iron man would be like... as soon as you lose or reset it erases your save file

[inner tiger]

yea not the best name lol

marathon deck

[long atlas]

sends you back to white stake

[idle salmon]

Yo I started writing down some concepts for a balatro card game (physical cards)

[sacred frost]

Why is cavendish liked so much even tho it is only 3x mult? (I started playing an hour ago)

[long atlas]

wait that’s actually a cool idea you have to win every stake in a row or else it resets

[inner tiger]

cant replay stakes you've beate i should have said

[dapper creek]

do you guys like my whatsapp pfp

[long atlas]

guaranteed 3x with no caveat

[inner tiger]

because there are no prerequisites.l

[candid kernel]

3x is usually just what you need

[rare yew]

Oh what if like - you have to beat a stake with every deck before it 'saves' that stake being unlocked

so you beat every deck on white stake, red stake, then lose on the 3rd deck on green stake and you have to start back at red deck green stake again

running the gauntlet 8 times

[wintry halo]

so like around the world x8

[rare yew]

lol what is around the world

[dapper creek]

can u make obelisk usable 🙏🏼

[rare yew]

is that the name

[idle salmon]

That'd be pretty sick

[dapper creek]

around the world by daft punk 🙏🏼

[inner tiger]

sounds like the ultimate challenge and would make me cry lol

would be a true badge to wear

[long atlas]

should just be unique to one deck though that’d be hell for every deck

[dapper creek]

@dense forge has apparently achieved this impossible feat

[long atlas]

i did know that i watched the video

[inner tiger]

no surprisees there and i didn't say impossible

you just have to be VERY good

like the doc lol

[idle salmon]

I heard localthunk is from Saskatchewan which is pretty cool cuz I built hella irrigation pivots there

[dapper creek]

well it is impossible. but he did it anyway

[rare yew]

it's true

[wintry halo]

figure of speech for like "going through everything"

also something I did in elementary school where we learned multiplication with flash cards but it's in like a basketball knockout style. idk if other ppl call it that, that's just what my school had

[dapper creek]

it’d be damn freezing there right now haha

[long atlas]

-30f and reportedly -40 in some other parts of canada

[idle salmon]

It's wild cuz the developers of cuphead are also from Saskatchewan, so two of my favorite game devs live where I work

[dapper creek]

god damn

[rare yew]

They're also from Regina! Where I'm from

[wintry halo]

though idk how you would make it not as tedious for like the general gamer

[rare yew]

little city of 200k

[dapper creek]

where you work? you live in a different state to where you work?

could be close to the border

[dapper creek]

that’s cool

[idle salmon]

Ima have to move there when I get into game dev

[dapper creek]

now i can stalk you /j

[idle salmon]

🤨

[rare yew]

I've never actually talked to them, I should reach out

[long atlas]

CUP FOR KING CHALICE FOR QUEEN AND MUG FOR JACK ITS OERFECT

[agile pawn]

[rare yew]

I don't know how their art style would translate to pixel art

surely someone must have made something like that

[dapper creek]

aww

[halcyon sleet]

it’s about a fictional town in Saskatchewan called Dog River

[inner tiger]

[dapper creek]

i was gonna say you could ask them in person

[dapper creek]

[rare yew]

Oh nice!

[long atlas]

i think it could work

[dapper creek]

i’m not surprised it’s already a concept lol

but yeah all you gotta do is put it in 👀

[long atlas]

deltarune balatro when

[dapper creek]

surely

[idle salmon]

I've also seen some hollow knight balatro art work and it's pretty cool

[rare yew]

also the guy that made windows task manager is from Regina

[dapper creek]

ooh that would fit too

[halcyon sleet]

I got my copy of the season 1 dvd signed by the creator Brent Butt

[dapper creek]

anything pixelly would be good

idk

[idle salmon]

Regina is so goated I'm going to have to move there

[long atlas]

considering some of the bosses are literally based on playing cards lol

[dapper creek]

unfortunate last name

[dapper creek]

oh yeah true

[rare yew]

He's a comedian so goated last name actually

he's the Butt of every joke!

balatro trivia for yall i just remembered: what joker does blueprint copy in the joker menu

[halcyon sleet]

trivial pursuit

[cloud rain]

photochad

[rare yew]

let me guess

pls

I have to enter my mind palace

[long atlas]

fire away (no cheating you made the game)

[rare yew]

is iiiit burnt Joker (I have no idea)

[sonic shard]

invisible?

[long atlas]

it is ||wee|| joker!

[rare yew]

no way

[idle salmon]

I took some screenshots of our convo so I can brag to my friends

[halcyon sleet]

no wee

[long atlas]

yes way you can check

[rare yew]

I don't believe you

[rare yew]

it's a conspiracy

[idle salmon]

Didn't see this earlier but I live in Alberta and I travel to Saskatchewan every Monday

[rare yew]

that photo is modified

[long atlas]

even blueprint loves wee

[sonic shard]

brainstorm was close to invisible..

[rare yew]

wow burnt wasn't even close

[wintry halo]

looks like blueprint to me

[idle salmon]

Yo thunk do you think you'll release more balatro merchandise?

[long atlas]

we don’t know which one brainstorm would copy because it copies leftmost and there are 3 leftmost jokers but it’s canio drivers license or stuntman

[candid kernel]

bp and bs are both copying chip jokers

[rare yew]

definitely

working on more

[sonic shard]

which joker is ceremonial dagger gonna destroy in the joker menu

[idle salmon]

Frick yeah! Can't wait

[halcyon sleet]

Balatro on the Intelivision II /j

[sonic shard]

I like to think of it like book reading order

wait no then it would go all the way back to jimbo

[long atlas]

mime or banner i think

[wintry halo]

thanks, my local walmart ran out of bananas the night before winter storm prep

[long atlas]

just reroll the stock till cavendish shows up

[sonic shard]

if you had to guess one

[long atlas]

ugh i know summit and stencil and four finger and misprint are all on that page too so i added that to the brain stew but

banner final answer

[sonic shard]

eyy

[long atlas]

holy shart that was hard i had to go deep in the brain chasms

i know this page specifically because i was pissed that 4 fingers was the only one for a while without a stake pin so i just stared at it in shame

[sonic shard]

lol

[long atlas]

even more pissed because i grew up a flush main child so im like “why is the best card for flushes not been used”

[buoyant cliff]

You can drag jokers there :P

[rare yew]

I was doing some work on performance for Balatro today, and I discovered a bug where flipping a < to a > raises framerate by like 5% (and is also more correct)

got that bad brain

[buoyant rune]

how splendid

[buoyant cliff]

I can see why

[compact stump]

chat lowk died

[long atlas]

everyone went sleep

[rare yew]

I'm still watching sports

[long atlas]

is the score good yet

[compact stump]

What sports do u like

[inner tiger]

OK that whole time I was typing up my marathon / iron man deck proposal. Let me know what you think, I know the original concept caught your eye

#🎙・server-chat message

@rare yew

[dapper creek]

damn

[calm imp]

what to take...

[wintry knot]

finally I’ve been unmuted after 2 hours
tbh i don’t know why i was muted

and chat is now dead

[rare yew]

Oh I'm not sure, that wasn't me

[calm imp]

hes just a fool

[wintry knot]

I don’t know what I did to get muted

and at that for 2 hours

[fiery bobcat]

what was the last message you sent

[wintry knot]

idk

[rigid night]

Mine was a classic FAFO

[rigid night]

Jimbo muted you

[wintry knot]

why tho

[rigid night]

Dunno

[fiery bobcat]

just checked u said bring back sideways joker

[rigid night]

He's literally a fool. What's your excuse?

[wintry knot]

what is the point of muting me for that

[rare yew]

I think it was a mistake, sorry

[wintry knot]

It’s ok I just got confused and was worried I did something wrong

[rare yew]

no I think you are good, you might have caught a stray

[wintry knot]

you did mentioned muting two people

I think you may have misclicked or smth

[fiery bobcat]

I think a mod doled out some extra 1h timeouts in the chat tonight, apologies! Some chatters caught some strays

no hard feelings I think they were just trying to reduce spam

[dusky coral]

A bit late to the conversation, but that sounds cool (and also very hard lol)

[rare yew]

yeah I don't think I'd actually add that

the game is hard enough to 100% as is

[wintry knot]

cheese joker trust

[lethal tusk]

localthunk you mind manifesting me this gold stake win with your mind powers?

[dusky coral]

I guess nothing is stopping me from doing the gauntlet myself (not that I'm going to)

[novel fjord]

I removed slowmode. Forgot I left it on earlier today

[wintry knot]

cool

[mossy tartan]

Has balatro mobile been messed up forever

[lethal tusk]

wdym?

[mossy tartan]

Like none of my data seems to save and the issues seem so widespread

[lethal tusk]

that's a phone issue

[mossy tartan]

I guess, but my phone works with every other game

I’ve seen stuff abt iCloud but if that’s the case I wish I could desync from iCloud or whatever

[sharp igloo]

Has anyone done a Blackjack themed Balatro-like?

I know there’s a decently popular slots-latro game, but I haven’t heard of a Blackjack one yet.

[glad oriole]

hello balacord

i return from my mute

[wintry knot]

same

[cinder wharf]

cavendish when it comes to not showing up for 9 antes and only showing up when you dont need it

[olive ferry]

washendish is so not a common

[crystal gazelle]

anyone online? re installed windows cant remember how to get to my mod folder

went to app data roaming then balatro but the mods folder isnt there

[placid shard]

Cave and dish immediately being extinct right before a boss blind is amazing yay

[timid cedar]

question for #⚙・modding-general

[silk breach]

bro pulled a 0.1 percent on his bling bling

[slate thorn]

I just want to say Balatro is the best mobile gaming experience

[placid shard]

I'll be honest i pirated the mobile version then liked it so much i bought it

It really is that peak

[tribal knoll]

Whatd udo lol

[brave bluff]

how handsome

[wanton steeple]

one hell of a casual run

[cinder wharf]

should obelisk be uncommon

[tribal knoll]

i think its fine as it is

its way too good as it is

[wanton steeple]

I will forever be obelisk biggiest hater

had to carry a negative version to ante 8 to get c++

[tribal knoll]

obelisk is objectively a good joker for consistent gold stake wins thoughh

[cinder wharf]

do u just use aneglyph for negatives to get gold stickers for bad jokers or do u just play with -1 hand size

question for the c++ gamers

[wanton steeple]

aneglyp and plasma were the decks I used

[boreal niche]

Obelisk is great

just that new players are disincentivized from gravitating to it

and first impressions are everything

you have to understand balatro is a lot of people's first roguelike

[storm bolt]

Question guys, when does someone earn the "Balatro expert" title, what do yall think

[tribal knoll]

my first roguelike was fear and hunger

[boreal niche]

my first was hades

[cinder wharf]

balatro is my first roguelike

the only other games in my steam library are valve games i got for like half a dollar on sale

[acoustic geode]

You don't

[exotic sparrow]

You just play whatever deck you're best at

[flint copper]

Not sts?

[acoustic geode]

Well balatro is my first

[wanton steeple]

balatro has helped me get over my rut of terrible game addiction

[storm bolt]

You say you don't but that's weird, there are plenty of people who mastered it

[wanton steeple]

Funny card game more fun than triple a pew pew game

[flint copper]

Excuse me, what is that server tag

[tribal knoll]

hes a goon like a mafia member

[wanton steeple]

[tribal knoll]

nothing weird with that

[storm bolt]

Xdd

[flint copper]

What’s the white liquid, then?

[wanton steeple]

I'm a goon for hire

It's um... drugs

[brave bluff]

been playing balatro since 2025 and I just unlocked brainstorm...

[hexed thunder]

all of my 2026 wins so far 💔

[storm bolt]

vro... 💔

What's yall favorite combo

Just don't type photochad

[cinder wharf]

bro has not consumed any balatro media online

bros just been rawdogging that shit

[wanton steeple]

it took me awhile to understand the game lmao

I was runninng flushes until I learned about how broken pairs are

[cinder wharf]

i wouldve uninstalled the game after my first run if i didnt just pay 10 dollars for it

i didnt even know any poker hands at that point

[wanton steeple]

I installed pokernight and the invetory after 100% balatro

unironically was better at the game than i was back then just going all in all the time

balatro made me a better gambler

just excited for 1.1

need more things to do

balatro probably the most replayable game I've had since my ps2 collection

[boreal niche]

Midas mask/vampire

[boreal niche]

sts is my most recent

which im playing right now

[tribal knoll]

hack and wee

[boreal niche]

Let me tell you it is hard as fuck

[tribal knoll]

or the classic photochad

[boreal niche]

harder than balatro at least

[tribal knoll]

slay the spire?

i bought it on sale

is that even harder than balatro? lol

[flint copper]

I can tell

[flint copper]

^

[cinder wharf]

im always on like 5 hp narrowly trying to survive

[wanton steeple]

The last thing I need to do in balatro is get a unseeded/modded naneinf

Prety much done everything

[tribal knoll]

gold stake every popular mod deck

and be #1 multiplayer most consistent player

[wanton steeple]

I could never play against people who eat sleep breath balatro

but i've been playing pokermon

it's basically balatro 2 lol

[tribal knoll]

balatro isnt just a cards game, its a lifestyle

[tribal knoll]

seen it

looks cool

couldnt run it though

it kept crashing

[wanton steeple]

is it the balatro_logo_alt error?

[tribal knoll]

screen would be frozen

[wanton steeple]

Oh

that's nromal

[tribal knoll]

cpu usage bumps up to 95%

or 100%

[wanton steeple]

sometimes the mod takes a monute to load

[boreal niche]

As someone who has basically 100%'d balatro

[tribal knoll]

and it'd never load

[boreal niche]

Sts is hard as balls

[tribal knoll]

it wouldnt load

[boreal niche]

mainly because skill isn't really transferable

[wanton steeple]

it's a pretty big mod so it takes some effort to load

[tribal knoll]

and my cpu and memory would keep going up

[wanton steeple]

what's ur specs

[tribal knoll]

16gb

ram atleast

[wanton steeple]

gpu cpu?

[tribal knoll]

uhhh

[wanton steeple]

the fact it's struggling to run is strange

[tribal knoll]

amd ryzen 5 pro 5650u

integrated w radeon graphics

i'm on a laptop

not an actual pc

[wanton steeple]

I doubt it be ur intergrated gpu but it being a gaming laptop that are basically portable heaters with poor airflow

might be why

even then those specs should be able to handle it

[tribal knoll]

idk normally i don't hear my fans even when i'm playing other games but when i was running the modded balatro it started heating up a lot

and the fans would turn on

[boreal niche]

is dr doom a virgin

[tribal knoll]

depends on what timeline

[boreal niche]

oh my god

[tribal knoll]

dr doom is in a wheelchair in a diff reality

permanently so

so yeah prob

[tribal knoll]

idk but its funny

i ran yahimod just fine though

and cryptid

but pokermon wasnt letting me

[wanton steeple]

it could just be windows be dogwater

[tribal knoll]

well i'm still on w10

i should prob update

[wanton steeple]

win11 ain't much better

it's so bad I finally jumped to linux haven't looked back lol

[tribal knoll]

jesus

[wanton steeple]

recent updates broke local accounts

and people couldn't use notepad

lol

[tribal knoll]

thats wild

[wanton steeple]

If u plan on upgrading would recommend looking into a linux distro

it's not worth it anymore

[tribal knoll]

i'll finish 100%ing balatro and then move over to slay the spire

[tribal knoll]

nah i'm gonna just get a pc prob

i cba with laptops anymore i think

lol

[wanton steeple]

you laptop still has decent hardware

some linux distros are designed to be lightweight

probably breath new life into it

not joking when I say my linux partition boots so fast

my internet isn't fully stable by the time my desktop loads lol

had to put things like steam and discord on a delay to keep them from getting stuck in offline mode

[tribal knoll]

tbh im really clueless on all that stuff so its something i gotta look into but i might consider that

its not like i'm gonna completely abandon my laptop either

[wanton steeple]

Most linux distros have an option to manually partition to dual boot for you

if laptop is strong enough just use a virtualbox and try it out

before u decide to install it

The only rought thing about switching over is looking some software like photoshop and vegas but most things will run perfectly fine with a compatibility layer like wine or steams proton

lol I saw this in another discord

scams have really gotten so low effort can't even press prntscrn no more

[lilac mason]

How tough to do is that. Got Slay the Spire as a gift but never opened it

[stray vault]

Who is talking about linux

Im linux hater

Linux is cringeeeee

[stray vault]

Fuck the game im so stupid i cant win ascension 1

I actually won with defect but i forget to take the burning elite so I cant fight the heart

Im stupid

[boreal niche]

I dont fight heart tbh

for one im climbing and for two the game tells me i win when i beat act 3 so i take it

[sinful bay]

guys how do i convince my friend to play balatro

he says it sucks

i think he needs to be executed

[stray vault]

People have preferences

Maybe he likes the hardcore rouge like games like slay the spire

And balatro is too easy for him

🙂

[brave bluff]

man my favourite card has to be queen of spades

not that photochad is very strong ante 2 anyway

you knew the boss blind was water on golden needle you should have at least gotten something

READ

[long atlas]

first off they sell unripe bananas at grocery stores too second there are literally yellow ones there too

i think there are actually multiple plantains some are green some are yellow if i’m not wrong

[graceful drift]

Fresh green plantains...

[obsidian blaze]

wharever

[spice pollen]

I did it

I bought balatro

[long atlas]

but generally unripe plantains are green and it gets more yellow (and then black) the more ripe it gets just like bananas

[graceful drift]

Congrats bro

Enjoy the game man

[long atlas]

ONE OF US 🗣️

[obsidian blaze]

u did it ,thrice
