[long atlas]

#🎨・fan-art or #🃏・off-topic

[wintry halo]

rocket is somewhat symmetrical

[gilded skiff]

That’s my boyfriends favorite card haha

[compact stump]

Rocket art is UNDERRATED

[gilded skiff]

We bonded over that because he likes baseball and I like poker

[tired pecan]

can we get flower pot emoji i need the 1x mult

[rare yew]

ok

[meager nymph]

can we see your first game....

[fierce rain]

on the flip side, what was the quickest joker to design/draw?

[compact stump]

yh idk abt that

[snow fog]

One of my favorite joker arts in the game

[tawny pasture]

looks dope

[dusky coral]

Clearly we also need the suit bosses to banish people to the shadow realm

[tired pecan]

have you guys heard of this cool little indie game "balatro"? its kinda new idk if yall have

[unique glade]

no

[compact stump]

murph choose a suit

[rigid night]

Honestly, I think it would be cool to see the knife that Dagger was based on

[snow fog]

That and castle

[meager nymph]

Thunk i can add emojis

[vivid island]

Sorry. I was off the screen a bit and didn't notice the warning. I've deleted the spam-ish post myself now.

[tawny pasture]

[compact stump]

Worst joker in game

[stray vault]

I love flot

[fierce rain]

oh bro

[compact stump]

and x1 mult!

[rigid night]

Only useful if you have Wild

[fierce rain]

he likes it better than obelisk

[rare yew]

it's prettier than obelisk

[tired pecan]

now make it actually trigger more than once in whenever it feels like

[snow fog]

If wild cards get buffed to not be affected by literally every boss flower pot will be pretty good

[stray vault]

Get a flash

Flash is flower pot + splash

[versed cove]

Obelisk is very cool and handsome though

[ionic hinge]

I would barf inside of the flower pot.

[rare yew]

you just don't like flower pot, it's objectively a good looking joker

if it had a good effect yall would adore it

[compact stump]

it is

[gilded skiff]

Maybe if it had better flowers /j

[compact stump]

well, duh

[tired pecan]

can we add a hammer joker that destroys flower pots and gains mult per each flower pot destroyed

[sharp cliff]

new obelisk no
i like old obelisk

[ionic hinge]

It looks like the small trash can you clutch when you have a stomach bug

[rigid night]

I like the art, but hate the effect

[versed cove]

Flower Pot is better than people think and I like the situations where it is good (although it’s a bit niche)

It is a more fun joker than people give credit for

[rare yew]

Club gang

[compact stump]

same with idol

[ionic hinge]

Like the pot.

[compact stump]

art is good

effect is not

[versed cove]

Exquisite taste

[fierce rain]

i honestly prefer blue stake to flower pot

[tired pecan]

top 10 situations where its useful:

thanks for watching!

[compact stump]

f yeah

[ionic hinge]

The flowers are very pretty

[dusky coral]

[rare yew]

welcome aboard bob

[ionic hinge]

But the pot

[dusky coral]

I was already clubs lol

[rare yew]

oh

well

[spark atlas]

Water and flower pot works well as I found out in mlb

[sharp cliff]

can we have just a regular red deck back

[rare yew]

can

[sharp cliff]

or decks in general

[rare yew]

I added it and it sucks

too detailed

so I removed

[meager nymph]

thunk do you have any interesting hobbies..

[sharp cliff]

hm

i see

[tired pecan]

are rumors about 1.1 dropping on 31st of february true

[rare yew]

probably depends what you find interesting

[meager nymph]

can you just list off hobbies

[stray vault]

That combo names flash

[fierce rain]

thunk how often do you shower

[rare yew]

once per day

[fierce rain]

good

[meager nymph]

we need chill-chat back

[rare yew]

but if I'm travelling, sometimes like 2 times per week

or less

[sharp cliff]

also onyx agate is
maybe my least favorite joker game design wise

[gilded skiff]

Ohh lucky 🍀 you travel

[tired pecan]

as a balatro player why do you at all

[sharp cliff]

why thunk you so agate

[dusky coral]

Colors are simply too exciting

[rare yew]

wouldn't you?

[ionic hinge]

If it was affordable

[fierce rain]

thunk why do you keep changing your pfp

[rare yew]

mix it up

i unno

[tired pecan]

funny

[fierce rain]

i just realized it’s not the balatro icon anymore

[meager nymph]

why do i feel like you have adhd

[ionic hinge]

And it wasn't by myself

[gilded skiff]

I wish I could but the most I go Is out of state haha, or the ren faire.. what do you think of them thunk?

[fierce rain]

also why didn’t you ever change the file name of balatro from the Love engine thing

it bugs me

[tired pecan]

why did you choose specifically those 3 jokers for the server banner art thing

[rare yew]

bro what is it today and people claiming I have a brain disorder

[compact stump]

lmaoo

[meager nymph]

LOL

[cinder wharf]

I wonder what suit i am

[tired pecan]

i have a no brain disorder

[stray vault]

Purple

[cinder wharf]

Uh nvm lmao i thought t was automatic

[fierce rain]

ok but like why is balatro called love

[wintry halo]

what'd I miss

[fierce rain]

it bugs me so much, especially on mac

[rare yew]

It's fine

[snow fog]

Do you plan on reworking loyalty card

[tired pecan]

jimbo is completely understandable, but why the other two?

[rare yew]

it don't matter

[ionic hinge]

Or maybe it's because I don't like doing things for myself

[fierce rain]

it does!!

[compact stump]

ait

[fierce rain]

it shows it to me all the time when i’m on mac

[ionic hinge]

Or by myself

[fierce rain]

like any time i open or close the app

[ionic hinge]

Or mix of everything

[meager nymph]

whats the joker you are most proud about

[compact stump]

wait why do you get to have agate in the name

[versed cove]

I get that people want loyalty card reworked

But it would make me sad it’s a really cool joker as is and much better than people think as a way to beat bosses

[fierce rain]

and also that logo is so low quality grah

[rare yew]

make balatro and you get it too

[fierce rain]

i had to manually change it to one i found on reddit

[snow fog]

Really have you found any use for it

[compact stump]

will i get sued?

[versed cove]

Yes, as a way to beat bosses

[snow fog]

It’s mostly baseball card fodder for me

[rare yew]

loyalty isn't getting a rework

[sharp cliff]

i'm trying

[rare yew]

it's discount luchador

[meager nymph]

true or false: balatro is still alive due to mods

[mild orbit]

WHAT

[compact stump]

FALSE

[rare yew]

lmfao

[ionic hinge]

False

[fierce rain]

you should give us the name of a joker but not tell us the effect, design, or context at all

[mild orbit]

false

[rare yew]

his he ragebaiting what is this

[mild orbit]

true

[sharp cliff]

only because of MY mods

[tired pecan]

Joker

[compact stump]

[meager nymph]

[rare yew]

ban?

[meager nymph]

but its like

[fierce rain]

[versed cove]

[tired pecan]

🔨

[meager nymph]

[rare yew]

don't be shitty

[fierce rain]

[meager nymph]

[gilded skiff]

Let’s change the topic, beagles! Aren’t they awesome. It should be a card

[tired pecan]

SHUT UP! 如果有人翻譯了這個，那會很有趣 UNITED SUITS BLAST!

[rare yew]

I did warn you

[fierce rain]

[fierce rain]

[stray vault]

Gg

[mild orbit]

[meager nymph]

[fierce rain]

yes

[sharp cliff]

can we all just slow down

[snow fog]

Not even a QA tester wow

[sharp cliff]

[mild orbit]

eh maybe because there were playtesters in beta

[meager nymph]

thunk can you time me out for 10-30 min

i pleed guilty

[compact stump]

NO

24 HOURS

[fierce rain]

[compact stump]

7 DAYS

[sharp cliff]

[rare yew]

I don't know if I even want that guy in here

[sharp cliff]

i'm like halfway through I

[arctic pendant]

mr. thunk, are you afraid of accidentally copying jokers from mods

[meager nymph]

im sorry guys

[ionic hinge]

So evil

[meager nymph]

ill just leave

[rare yew]

I did a 24 hour timeout

[sharp cliff]

why he doesn't play them

[mild orbit]

he's said before that he doesn't really look at mods but maybe

[rare yew]

you can come back tomorrow, just follow the rules

[fierce rain]

no pfp makes me think that you are an alt from the guy he just muted

[rare yew]

please

[stray vault]

Who

[autumn shell]

[wintry halo]

[rare yew]

[rare yew]

#🙋・frequently-asked

[arctic pendant]

Oh sorry

[fierce rain]

free speech

[rare yew]

no worries!

[versed cove]

What happened this time

[rare yew]

[fierce rain]

[stray vault]

Thought you are american

[spark atlas]

What about British people

[sharp cliff]

idk there are some pretty big solo mods
it really seems hardest to maintain game balance

[snow fog]

I mean Canada is in America the continent so technically American

[fierce rain]

british people aren’t real

[stray vault]

British accent is cool

[rare yew]

Ryan Gosling AND Ryan Reynolds, the 2 best ryans

[fierce rain]

[stray vault]

Even tho i don't understand british

[neat gull]

Does RyanAir qualify for best Ryans? /j

[compact stump]

i like color

[fierce rain]

i’m genuinely not a fan

[gilded skiff]

In the discord?

[fierce rain]

yes

[rare yew]

it could be more subtle

[fierce rain]

i liked it initially but i really don’t like it now

[wintry halo]

yeah I was skeptical about adding more vanity roles accessible to everybody

[rare yew]

the emote is fine

I like the emote

[fierce rain]

kill all the vanity roles

[rare yew]

no

[compact stump]

no

[fierce rain]

[gilded skiff]

It’s nice I feel like I get to show off tho

[wintry halo]

emotes with very subtle almost white color fill

[sharp cliff]

[rare yew]

I'm gonna make them a little more subtle and see

[wintry halo]

eh idk what's more distracting I'll give it a week

[fierce rain]

[stray vault]

What's confusing about it?

You are heart

[sharp cliff]

i think localthunk also picked a very light color

[stray vault]

I am spade

[sharp cliff]

not different enough

[stray vault]

Thunk is club

And wtf is rough gem

Whatever

[fierce rain]

i liked having thunk as the only colour person in chat, excluding a couple people. i complained about it often but i think we should go back

[wintry halo]

thing is my pattern recognition focuses on color first

[sweet herald]

Awwww no more yellow thunk

[gilded skiff]

Server admin type lol

[fierce rain]

we should just never change anything about this server ever again

[rare yew]

how is that

[wintry halo]

color roles are still fine I'll just get used to it eventually but having saturation kinda

hmm

[fierce rain]

i cannot tell the difference

[wintry halo]

I go to a tattoo convention, and my partner is walking around with the Jimbos Fish and Chips T shirt from Playstack. Someone comes up to us and taps her on the shoulder. It's a woman saying her boyfriend is such a huge fan (the boyfriend is standing there bashful) and my partner is like "oh no way I love it too! Number go up!" and then they ask where she got the shirt

and that's about it

[sharp cliff]

-# be quiet

I was out in Vancouver with my buddy a few weeks ago, and I was on the skytrain (mass transit) going downtown. And he gets my attention and tells me someone next to him is playing Balatro.

I have never seen Balatro before in the wild. It took almost 2 years.

But it was funny because like. I don't want to be mean but uh. This guy was definitely a certain sort of person

[fierce rain]

do you ever wish you could tell people you made balatro?

[rare yew]

he was wearing a big purple cape

on the train

[fierce rain]

oh yikes

[slim junco]

Idk I just started playing yesterday

🥀

[sweet herald]

Oh… interesting

[steel fiber]

oh that's pretty neat- wait, what's yikes about that?

[slim junco]

I already enjoy the game so much

[stray vault]

Not a cape

[neat gull]

[compact stump]

[arctic pendant]

[sharp cliff]

i read septology on the train

[fierce rain]

i look like a normal white guy with glasses

[rare yew]

[sharp cliff]

while listening to music

[rare yew]

it's KINDA funny

[slim junco]

🥀

Normal

Sob

[rare yew]

[stray vault]

It is indeed funny

[rare yew]

[fierce rain]

[arctic pendant]

Yes

[compact stump]

thats just usual balatro players

[fierce rain]

it’s not

i promise

we’re better than that

[stray vault]

[compact stump]

LAME

[rare yew]

according to my sample size it is

[stray vault]

I play balatro on buses

[sharp cliff]

i don't wear a purple cape (also me when i LIE)

[neat gull]

The only time I've seen Balatro in the wild was during a work shift, I load online grocery orders into cars. I bring an order out to a doordasher, and through the back of the car I catch a glimpse of Balatro on his phone while I'm loading groceries into his car 😭

[compact stump]

wild

[snow fog]

My senior year of college all of my I got into a situation where all of my roommates were furries. It’s how I even heard of Balatro. And everyone I know from that fandom plays the game.

[fierce rain]

well maybe you should come to new brunswick. i’ve seen at least 12 random strangers playing balatro

[sharp cliff]

okay well now it's my wild balatro story time

[compact stump]

balatro scaner atp

[slim junco]

Who even is the creator of balatro

I’d like to meet them some day

[pseudo patio]

I've seen Balatro in the wild ONCE. And it was a gas station cashier playing it while we were checking out.

[compact stump]

ionno

[stray vault]

Not the furries

[compact stump]

some local they say

[fierce rain]

who’da thunk it

[slim junco]

Wait ur joking…

[stray vault]

So people who play balatro be like wearing capes on public transits, being furries

[rigid night]

Mine was a receptionist at a doctor's office. I told her to use the World to play a Flush House

[tawny pasture]

Never seen it in the wild but there was some cool balatro cosplays at magfest. They had a lil meetup

[stray vault]

What else

[neat gull]

I need to get out to gaming/CC conventions sometime, they sound like a riot

[pseudo patio]

A bit of the trans community

[neat gull]

Been to PAX East once and loved it, but my experience ends there

[stray vault]

A massive bit ig

[snow fog]

When I was still in college I saw Balatro everywhere on campus

[arctic pendant]

Oh Isaac players

[sweet herald]

I know a lot of trans people that play Balatro (me included)

[rigid night]

A pansexual computer engineer

[fierce rain]

guys i play balatro on transit and im a normal weight nerdy white guy with glasses

[sharp cliff]

i was on the plane and my brother went to the bathroom and came back to tell me that he had seen a kid playing balatro

I was also playing balatro at the time but i was playing seeded (ALEEB, all 5 legendaries in first tarot packs)
kid walks by
absoluely horrified
Like

In shock

[slim junco]

I looked it up

Wait a minute

[stray vault]

And an asexual computer engineer

[sharp cliff]

not even my best balatro run either

[slim junco]

Ain’t no way

[sweet herald]

That being said a ton of people I know IRL play Balatro in some form or fashion

[snow fog]

In the library you could see on like 10% of laptops

[sharp cliff]

should've seen my e181

[rare yew]

I think it's dope

But also - it's hard to tell, maybe the trans community is just more active on discord too

[slim junco]

Localthunk are you lowkey the real creator?

[rare yew]

or like online circles

[fierce rain]

obviously

[snow fog]

And every geek oriented club had a large group of students who played it

[sweet herald]

Hat could very well be true

That*

[slim junco]

Nah like seriously

Are you really the creator

[fierce rain]

yes ffs

[compact stump]

i would like a kebab

im hungry

[slim junco]

dies from shock

[stray vault]

He is

[rare yew]

yes

[stray vault]

Look at his role

[fierce rain]

this guy is so cringe omfg

[snow fog]

I think they are more online than the general public hence more likely to game

[stray vault]

I would mpreg react

[rare yew]

don't be rude

[compact stump]

Wait!!! i thought Playstack made the game

[slim junco]

Yes I am I get that a lot :3

[sweet herald]

O_O

[fierce rain]

[sharp cliff]

no playstack made unbeatable

not balatro

silly

[compact stump]

mimimimi

[sharp cliff]

ahhhh

[compact stump]

ITS A JOKE

[sharp cliff]

it's a new day

[stray vault]

I mean its ok if he doesnt know

[slim junco]

Sob

[stray vault]

Shouldnt call someone cringe for not knwoing something

[fierce rain]

ohare, what do you think about capes and busses

[sharp cliff]

trains

[fierce rain]

yes yes sorry

[rare yew]

You are straight up bullying them

[fierce rain]

[slim junco]

As a femboy furry this lowk hurt 🥀

[compact stump]

BAN

[fierce rain]

[compact stump]

8136 DAYS

[slim junco]

Also I’ve never been on a buss

[stray vault]

What

[fierce rain]

don’t make this worse

[stray vault]

You are femboy furry?

[compact stump]

im just being silly

[rigid night]

This is why we elected Gerald Ford

[stray vault]

We need to ping skinky

[rare yew]

Please follow rules people

Rule 1

[stray vault]

Where is skynky

[slim junco]

What did I do…

[rare yew]

you did nothing

you are good

[fierce rain]

am i not allowed to say hes cringe

[rare yew]

you're being mean

[stray vault]

Isnt it insulting to be called cringe

[snow fog]

I mean it’s not worth your time to be mean to people online

[rigid night]

Come in at an unfortunate time. You're good. This is just some guy being mean

[sharp cliff]

i am openly cringe

[snow fog]

It’s kinda just not fun for anyone

[slim junco]

Also being kinda homophobic 🥀

[fierce rain]

its not homophobic dude

im pan

[granite urchin]

Im cringe and free

[arctic pendant]

localthunk, how did you advertise balatro initially for the 48 wishlists you got according to your blog post?

[stray vault]

Homophonic

[rare yew]

I did not

[rigid night]

There their they're

[rare yew]

hence 48 wishlists

[arctic pendant]

oh just pure osmosis?

wow ok

[compact stump]

osmosis is a funny word

[arctic pendant]

blessed dev

[slim junco]

Oki :3

[slim junco]

Osmosis jones

[compact stump]

hence the blessed game

[stray vault]

Why do people mass react me

[rare yew]

new steam pages are usually found by youtubers/people that seek out ever game in certain genres

so if you launch a page and do nothing people will give you at least a few wishlists

[snow fog]

Really I thought most games just never got noticed

[slim junco]

That’s cool

[compact stump]

thunk make rebate so it gives 20 bucks

please

[arctic pendant]

I mean 48 is really not bad for literal zero advertising

[cedar island]

i see some new stuff has happened to the roles

[rare yew]

48 wishlists counts as never getting noticed

[sharp cliff]

this is balatro tho

[rare yew]

that would equate to 1 or 2 sales

[sweet herald]

That’s a ton of money my goodness

[sharp cliff]

*3

[snow fog]

48 is insane that’s 48 random people caring about a passion project

[compact stump]

should give 4 imo

[rare yew]

some bots

[sharp cliff]

current rebate is the best econ joker at pretty much every game stage

[arctic pendant]

though it is true you need a lot of wishlists for a good steam next fest

[fierce rain]

thats a decent chunk of bots tho

yeah

[snow fog]

Enough to pay 10$

[rare yew]

some people just wishlisting everything too

[snow fog]

Ahh I see

[slim junco]

I hate bots 🥀

They pmo

[sweet herald]

I wish I found Balatro earlier I was a bit late too the party
I’m very much enjoying my time here though

[rigid night]

I found this through Xbox Game Pass

[rare yew]

a wishlist has a very low purchase rate

[slim junco]

Me to

[rare yew]

like 1 wishlist isn't 1 sale

[fierce rain]

i started playing on christmas after the game awards

[zenith wadi]

Cool new roles

[neat gull]

I'm glad I found out when I did, the modding community has been very kind to me

[sharp cliff]

still salty about playstation ad winning 2024 game awards

[fierce rain]

how many sales do you estimate came from the advertising from the game awards? was it a large chunk?

[slim junco]

Salted crackers are the best

[sweet herald]

I discovered this game through YouTube and saw what it was, saw big number go up, buy immediately
You give me game where number go up I’m IN

[rare yew]

No idea, because it wasn't just the game awards that Balatro did well in

[tawny pasture]

Coming up on 2 years. Time flies.

[snow fog]

I honestly have a hard time convincing my friends to pick up the game

[rare yew]

there were like 20 different award shows at the time

[sweet herald]

Oh wow

[fierce rain]

fair enough

[sharp cliff]

i was playing poker with a friend and he showed me balatro because that's how he knew the hands

[snow fog]

It’s so good but nobody sees the appeal until the play it

[rare yew]

and year end lists from publications

like PC gamer GOTY

[fierce rain]

i convinced one friend to play it by having him watch me play all day in class

[rigid night]

Congratulations on the BAFTA

[compact stump]

Balatro was very awarded wasnt it

[fierce rain]

[rare yew]

[sweet herald]

[rare yew]

[sweet herald]

I’ll skim on Amazon or something that’s just a great shelf piece, and all the awards too

[sharp cliff]

[rigid night]

If you're at home, can we please see the knife that Ceremonial Dagger was based on?

[fierce rain]

[compact stump]

YEES

[rigid night]

Ok. I'll stop

[fierce rain]

[rare yew]

Oh no I don't have anything

[fierce rain]

[arctic pendant]

[rare yew]

I recorded the sound for ceremonial dagger from my kitchen knife

[fierce rain]

thats actually really cool

[rare yew]

I unno I didn't get anything

[arctic pendant]

[fierce rain]

[rigid night]

I should get a Jimbo plush as a debugging buddy

[snow fog]

I like to imagine you the person in the joker costume at the game awards

[fierce rain]

also how did you get all the other awards then

[rare yew]

That was Ben Starr (BAFTAS)

[sharp cliff]

i love hearing the +mult sound everywhere on youtube

[rare yew]

Playstack sent them

[sharp cliff]

and just the swirly background

[fierce rain]

you sent all your awards to playstack and they forwarded them?

thats really smart and really funny

[rare yew]

They coordinated

they just sent them to me when they got them

[slim junco]

Ugh I’m so tired but my bed is so far away

[rare yew]

I think it was like ~35 total

[fierce rain]

anyways yeah youtooz creators usually get a draft copy of the figure around a month before they start teasing it

so you can make tweaks and stuff

[rigid night]

You can make it! One foot in front of the other

[compact stump]

ben is the PERFECT one for jimbo

[fierce rain]

you might wanna look into that ngl

[rare yew]

Ben is Jimbo

[rare yew]

I can handle my business

[fierce rain]

ok sir

[slim junco]

But my couch is so comfy but if I fall asleep the leather will morph me into it like that one girl

[rare yew]
