Did you hear About the man who stopped breathing?

[ionic hinge]

Oh yes. I stay away from Earth but I do fancy their interwebs or whatever they call it nowadays I'm from a star system called 2mass j18 the rest is too much too to list those humans love their numbers and letters.

[void bison]

[ionic hinge]

Of course wait a minute... This isn't a private chat...

[worldly canyon]

What does balatro mean

Is it some random word localthunk made or does it have an original meaning

[meager spade]

[worldly canyon]

"I'm not like all the other jokers"
Bitch u give +4 mult 😭

[small sand]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sharp cliff]

it's actually not you don't get it /srs

[stray vault]

It is

[sharp cliff]

it's seriously not

it means cold beans is soon

which it is releases tuesday if we're diligent over in the cold beans development server

i would know

i made the server

[stray vault]

It still is spamming

[sharp cliff]

is it?

[stray vault]

It has meaning whatever or not but only a couple of people understand it

[sharp cliff]

seems like 1 message to me

[stray vault]

And

He replies in that way several times

To me it is spamming behaviour

[sharp cliff]

ok

to you ride the bus is bad

[stray vault]

If you judge one's message being spamming or not just by it has meaning or not

[sharp cliff]

we are not the same

[stray vault]

Then i can type in morse

And send it over and over

It still has meaning

But it annoying for others to look at

[sharp cliff]

.... --- .-. ... .

it's called a reference

not spamming

[full trellis]

Ladies

Ladies

[stray vault]

But you send it over and over

Its like talking in another language

[sharp cliff]

i'm assuming you can read
it would be annoying to look at if you couldn't read

[full trellis]

Y’a pas le feu au lac

[stray vault]

To justify my saying this guy sends messages like this over and over

Not only one time

[raven ice]

wait one god damn minute

[sharp cliff]

lol

[raven ice]

i know morse pal

not getting out of this one

[sharp cliff]

i know only bad words and horse...

nearly every letter i know is from some swear and that's how i remember

[raven ice]

dawg

we cannot be fr

[stray vault]

Well whatever

Its my point of view on spamming

[raven ice]

its not spamming

[stray vault]

Mer personally dont care about ppl spamming tho

[sharp cliff]

its not spamming

[sharp cliff]

horse

that was spam to your average person

[raven ice]

i could talk in a language that i know and others dont and it wouldnt be spamming

[sharp cliff]

but to the esteemed horse enjoyers
they know

[raven ice]

hestur

[stray vault]

Just that the mod brought it up so I quote some spamming message

But i personally couldn't care less

[stray vault]

Thats basically spamming

Lmao

[raven ice]

well youre taking it this far over morse

[stray vault]

Reaction spamming is also spamming

[full trellis]

—-…—-

[raven ice]

thats a rule btw

[stray vault]

Replying horse every comment is spamming

[raven ice]

confirmed by localthunk

[sharp cliff]

tf is emdash doing

who invited emdash

[stray vault]

Well its fair

Since he is the owner

His words are the rule

[sharp cliff]

can we ban this guy

[raven ice]

yeah

[full trellis]

Wtf is en dash

[raven ice]

not in the know

[sharp cliff]

the extra long dash

is it meant to be s o s?

[full trellis]

I don’t speak lines and dots

[raven ice]

yes

it is sos

kinda

3 dash 3 dot 3 dash is sos

[sharp cliff]

i think your computer went to correct -- into an emdash (—)

so it went —-…—-

[raven ice]

prob

[sharp cliff]

instead of --- ... ---

[raven ice]

i never knew it was called a emdash

[sharp cliff]

apparently it's em dash not emdash

smh

[worldly canyon]

Yo my priestess at my local church just disappeared and she said something about a second jupiter and uranus?

[tidal bobcat]

Really? Mine talked about a mercury and earth

[modern helm]

i'm not religious but i saw an image of a crocodile the other day

[visual basin]

you ever played crash bandicoot

[deft dome]

Hey guys, how does one join the multiplayer balatro server

bc mine bugs and doesnt let me join

[stray vault]

They dont allow accounts created less than 3 months join

So wait until your account reach 3 months old

[meager dagger]

is there a way i can change the mod location? my C drive is filled up

[modern helm]

i'm trying to help someone through some mental hardships but they keep doing the 'it won't help' thing

[stray vault]

average behaviour of someone with mental hardships

[modern helm]

i mean yeah as someone with the same issues it's pretty normal

[stray vault]

Honestly dealing with people with mental issues is hard

[modern helm]

it's just a loop and it's frustrating when you're trying to help

[stray vault]

Your normal encouraging word or advices wont help

[modern helm]

um, explain this????

[stray vault]

^

Im actually having to deal with this

[modern helm]

you're mentally ill too

[stray vault]

Kinda

I randomly rant in this sv about stuffs

But like

Sometimes i genuinely dont need advices

I just need ppl to know my problem

[modern helm]

i wish more people understood that

[stray vault]

So my recommendation is

Dont try to give advices

Just listen and show sympathy

[modern helm]

i have mental illness bro

[inland kindle]

so emotionally u need help

[modern helm]

right ToT

[stray vault]

Giving advices to mentally ill people is not always helpful

Actually in very rare cases they are helpful

Unless you are some kind of therapists

Imagine being super tired emotionally and ppl encourage you with "everything will be all right"

🙂

I mean like

If i believe in that i wont have mental illness

🙂

[modern helm]

that's not how mental illness develops

[stray vault]

Yeah but i mean

If i have a slightest sight of optimism my problem isnt becoming so unbearable

I dont know how but many of my friends endure the same problem and they overcome it so easily

[modern helm]

[stray vault]

Meanwhile its so hard to deal with myself

And i hate myself so much

[icy raft]

yababasgaus

[stray vault]

You know like

Whenever i start doing something i always expect the worst outcome to come to me

[icy raft]

ride the bus is a good joker why you dont like it

[stray vault]

It always happen

100% it will happen

[icy raft]

yes true

[stray vault]

My friends try their best to encourage me how decent I am as a person but that doesnt help at all

I still hate myself and dont believe in myself

To the point that my brother straight up told me i wouldnt be able to do anythif. With this loser mindset

Well

Its true

[icy raft]

true

[stray vault]

Well i happen to rant here again

🙂

Sorry for that

[icy raft]

never again

[bleak mauve]

Can someone give me a few tips to do 100mil chip run?

[modern helm]

[bleak mauve]

I ask maybe i should do right deck and stake

Plasma is probably your best bet, but any should be lenient enough for this.

I got kicked form my steam family library so i can't play balatro on my profile anymore and it makes me very sad

[opal gate]

Why'd you get kicked

[modern helm]

so they could replace me with their younger sibling (the family's owner) :/

like i understand

i'm just like i can't replace the games i loose couldn't they have asked someone who can afford to replace the games they lost instead

[boreal scarab]

I would say this is worth it

Heard its really good

[signal sonnet]

I hate shoveling snow why does everyone say winter is better than summer

[hot vortex]

Winter is a 10/10 season because there is plenty of school breaks. The bugs are gone. I dont gotta mow twice a fucking week. And snow and lots of holidays

[signal sonnet]

Yea I mean, fair enough

At least I'm not mowing the lawn in the hot ass sun getting eaten by bugs

[hot vortex]

[signal sonnet]

[vivid palm]

would you rather weigh 5kg or 10kg

[void bison]

im dead either way

[shy dove]

ill weigh anything once

[stray vault]

Yes

[wintry halo]

hopefully you're good at balatro as an overall roguelike because sts has a far higher learning curve

makes gs streaking feel like a cakewalk

or at least decent

[placid turret]

hello jimbocord

[warped sphinx]

adult skeleton weighs 10+ kg this is literally impossible

[warped sphinx]

its very fun buy it

[shy dove]

im like 2 adults and 5 children in a trenchcoat

so i can get away with it

[boreal scarab]

Morning

[warped sphinx]

you big as hell

[shy dove]

well yea but we just lose both adults and like 3 or 4 children and i can weigh less than 10 kg

[placid turret]

id like to imagine the children act as the arms legs and head

[shy dove]

or just seperate us and only lose the adults

one of the adults might be gone for good anyways so like in reality its like only losing a sixth of me

[soft kraken]

I'm Jimboing it

[placid turret]

arent we all?

[soft kraken]

We all love Jimboing it

[placid turret]

True!

[boreal scarab]

I love Jimboing it

[soft kraken]

Same

[junior bobcat]

I have a urinary tract infection

[soft kraken]

Damn bro you okay??

[junior bobcat]

Hello gamers, I hope you are all having a great day!

[ionic hinge]

I won two games and only have 32 joker gold stickers left

Other than that Mr thunk my day is pretty bland and boring.

[hasty socket]

Hi Mr president

[olive smelt]

hello and thank you

localthunk you think it'd be alright if I added Jimbo to my game as a reference to balatro? #🃏・off-topic

I can give you or email you more details

it's still very early in development

[boreal scarab]

Work is the name of the game around here

[languid kiln]

Hey thunk hope you are having a great day.

[placid turret]

woke up late and feeling slobbish... feeling okay i guess

[elder cloud]

Mentally prepared for another week of Uni, hope you are as well gamer!

[signal sonnet]

Add like an ice Joker who can like freeze a random card in place and have it retrigger the next hand idk

[edgy fjord]

This is the moddest joker I've ever seen

[signal sonnet]

Idk I just throw ideas at the wall I don't check to see how good they are

[signal sonnet]

The what

[edgy fjord]

But still a good idea but it doesn't fit in the game

[dusk tartan]

add a fire joker that levels up your selected poker hand upon discard

[signal sonnet]

And throw away my good hands? I think not

What a preposterous idea

[sturdy sigil]

Sure am!

[void bison]

thunk are you a trysexual

[narrow garnet]

No theyre Canadian

[spring escarp]

I failed a math exam, but the rest it's a great day

I hope you are having a great day too!

Hello

[glacial dock]

Did you see what happened in Mexico?

Xddd

[daring zodiac]

What happened in Mexico

[rustic flame]

Anyone one know where do I post images like in irl (I got an irl oops all 6's)

[orchid raft]

what didn't happen in Mexico is a better question 😭

[ornate depot]

off topic maybe?

fan art if not maaaaaybe?

[gritty sun]

hey, i'm somewhat new to balatro

why did i not unlock Rule Bender after completing a challenge?

are there stakes to challenges also?

or what is considered a "run" for them

can't post media here but i completed On a Knife's Edge

(or should i ask over at #🕹・game-discussion)

[fiery flower]

perhaps you need to win another run to update the achievement. I haven't had to troubleshoot that in a while so that's the best I've got.

[gritty sun]

so what i did is i entered Endless mode and then i quit out and started a new run

i do have a checkmark next to the challenge so technically it should be completed?

are there any other requirements? i'll just SAM it if not

i was just assuming i misunderstood the achievement

[placid turret]

[glacial dock]

I think they killed a cartel leader, and it's basically absolute chaos.

Do you know who El Chapo Guzmán is?

Basically the same thing

[elder sleet]

Hey

I don't know much English, only Spanish. Can someone tell me what the "comodines" in Balatro are called in English?

[compact stump]

Jokers

[elder sleet]

no wild cards ?

I know it's stupid, but oh well.

[compact stump]

no, wild cards are “Cartas versatil”

[elder sleet]

ª

Okay

Thanks

[sharp hollow]

i'm trying to make art of my sona as spade face cards

for queen i'll put her in a dress

any ideas on what to do for king or jack

[ionic hinge]

Jack is in peasant clothing and king in Royal clothing

[brave bluff]

what a pizza tower

[sharp hollow]

hmm

[broken torrent]

Do you guys have any tips for double or nothing

It’s like the one challenge i can’t figure out

[tawny pasture]

Planets. Scaling mult/xmult jokers. Also you can change the debuffed cards into active ones again by changing the enhancements iirc. Been a while since I've done it.

[sweet herald]

Good timezone Balatro chat 👋

Hope everyone’s having a good day today

[neon wren]

also matador triggers on any hand with debuffed played cards. it's auto-win

[hexed tartan]

I'm. Have a fantastic day, I just got the best run of the week

Thunk you should subtract

[cold idol]

obelisk is peak

[elder sleet]

Well

Im a joker now

[gloomy robin]

Me when I lie:

[cold idol]

i don't lie mate

i'm being very serious

[cloud rain]

Obelisk is good

[meager patio]

is baron or idol better

i have the option to buy idol and my deck is mostly kings

[cyan wadi]

i beat yellow dekc gold stake can i officially put C+++++++++++ next 2 my name?

[daring zodiac]

No

Tbf you could just lie and put it there anyways lol

[long atlas]

oh absolutely you get a pass

[amber rune]

Why do people say “its a bird” when they mistake it for superman, who loudly exclaims that they see a bird

[long atlas]

you’d say the same for an egg salad sandwich

[cyan wadi]

yuno ball

[long atlas]

in all honesty i assumed it was people debating whether it was a bird or a plane

[amber rune]

What lame ass mf debates with strangers on wether an object in the sky is a bird or a plane

[long atlas]

what’s superman’s kryptonite

[cyan wadi]

me.

[long atlas]

well if you see a fast moving object in the sky you’re gonna wonder if it’s a bird a plane or a ufo

[cyan wadi]

what's achilles' achilles heel

[scenic cliff]

Thunk you should divide

[long atlas]

i’m not saying thunk should multiply

[scenic cliff]

[amber rune]

Thunk you should expand

[long atlas]

thunk you should exponent

[scenic cliff]

thunk you should integrate

[long atlas]

thunk you should add -chips and -mult and /mult

i think it would be beneficial to the gameplay

[scenic cliff]

More punishment for no reward

[long atlas]

add -mult is three operations in one sentence and it makes sense

[marsh geode]

hi everone, how guys duinh

[ancient sequoia]

How'd Spiderman get his powers

[cyan wadi]

what thing object is Spongebob based off

[placid turret]

evil green joker

evil ice cream

evil ride the bus

evil popcorn

hell even evil ramen

instead of disappearing / giving no mult they go into the negatives

but sell for more

[fleet nova]

meeeeowww

[long atlas]

hi yes hello that’s me

[elder sleet]

@brazen briar

Jimbo, why are you certified to operate a forklift?

[brazen briar]

Because I went to forklift school because I had a bachelor's degree

[elder sleet]

How many times have you driven one

[thin glen]

Hello

[brazen briar]

Around 200+ times

[thin glen]

I like credit card

[cyan wadi]

how many tries did it take you

[slim junco]

name checks out

[brazen briar]

5

[thin glen]

Thanks

[elder sleet]

And another question, do you get paid to be a wildcard or do you just do it as a hobby

[brazen briar]

As a hobby, but the company from time to time does give me 100-1000 bucks

[scenic cliff]

That money ever came misprinted? I've heard those are pretty common

[elder sleet]

Okay, I guess being a joker isn't so bad after all. Maybe they'll pay me, though I doubt it.

[brazen briar]

Some times they give me horse bills but most of the time it's real bills

[brazen briar]

It's like every 2 drives

You get paid

[elder sleet]

I have just one question, this is the last one: is the green Joker your brother or what is he?

[cyan wadi]

kinji safari

[brazen briar]

Hes a distant cousin

[urban quartz]

Jimbo what is the highest chip number you've ever had

it's limited by the number of packs you can see

[sharp cliff]

oh wait

i was thinking ankh ecto dupe on typecast

[minor prairie]

what the fuck why is thunk canadian now

this is unacceptable

[sharp cliff]

*non perishable

[minor prairie]

i only let MURICAN indie game devs develop my favorite balala roguelike

[sharp cliff]

perkeo in arcana, credit card in bufoon, ecto and ankh shop 1

[rare yew]

wait

diet cola plus arcana skips

[sharp cliff]

by ante 8 showdown you can get 14 more perkeos

or rather

16?

[rare yew]

maybe it is unlimited

you can get an arbitrarily large number of double tags

I don't know what the record is for 8 antes but I'm guessing it's a lot

[rare yew]

look who's talkin

[sharp cliff]

there is limited number of money you can get

[rare yew]

Mr. Tim Horton over here

[minor prairie]

i literally cannot believe this

[sharp cliff]

unless you can pull off infinite money before ante 8

then it truely is unlimited

[minor prairie]

i've been mapled

[fierce rain]

Nah that’s me

[rare yew]

the limit to how much money you can get without glitches is arbitrary though

[fierce rain]

I fuckin love Tims dude

[rare yew]

like there is no maximum

[minor prairie]

ha

[fierce rain]

They may be a shit corporation but mannn you cannot beat the Sausage Farmers Wrap

[minor prairie]

get out country'd

[fierce rain]

What does that even mean

[minor prairie]

we're having a war over here please stand by

[fierce rain]

Me and Thunk can share Canada

It’s pretty damn big

[minor prairie]

sorry this continent aint big enough for the two of us

[fierce rain]

He can have the west and I’ll have the east

[sharp cliff]

i mean tbf perkeoing every tarot except temperance and emporor is not a glitch

it's an exploit

[fierce rain]

I haven’t even popped the $400 achievement yet so yeah

I got really close once

$397

Around 4 months ago

One less reroll

And I would’ve had it

Flew too close to the sun in that regard I suppose

Idk man I never really play for gaining interest

I love spending money

I know it’s not optimal

But boy do I love it

Vagabond is my best friend

Instant pickup every run

[rare yew]

Mr. President you keep spending that money don't listen to the haters

[fierce rain]

Hell yeah

Am I just going to keep being referred to as Mr President

[rare yew]

Well you keep responding to it sooo

[fierce rain]

It’s habit

Mannn

Coloured decks are lame

[rare yew]

wow

[fierce rain]

Ghost, Plasma, and Checkered is where it’s at

[rare yew]

my poor sweet yellow deck

[fierce rain]

I haven’t played a coloured deck other than for getting the gold stakes in over a year

Like I never play coloured decks for fun

Tehe

[fierce rain]

Why is the $10 that crucial

I’ve never understood

Hey man

If that’s what it takes

Yeah I’m interested in spending that money 🤑🤑

[rare yew]

$10 before the first round is like $10 plus half a golden joker

[fierce rain]

I fuckin love flushes

[balmy sapphire]

checkered was the first deck I got gold stake on

[fierce rain]

They’re phenomenal

[balmy sapphire]

I ❤️ flushes

[fierce rain]

Plus flush five is super duper easy peasy on checkered

[balmy sapphire]

you get it

[rare yew]

Where are my fellow magic deck enthusiasts? And my painted deck connoisseurs?

[fiery flower]

magic deck???

lucky cards???

[balmy sapphire]

I’m grinding magic deck right now

[fiery flower]

I've been summoned

[rare yew]

Painted deck is the most fun deck that seems boring as hell

Like the difference between how fun it sounds and how fun it actually is is very large

[fierce rain]

I’ll be so fr I’ve only ever played painted deck for gold stake

I never actually played it casually

Not once

Completely skipped over it

[fiery flower]

I don't personally go with it more than other decks, it feels more limiting in my experience.

[rare yew]

Missing out

[fierce rain]

Hand size is lowk useless to me unless I’m going for a baron mime build

Fuck man now I wanna play Balatro again

[fiery flower]

hand size has a lot of different benefits

[rare yew]

The humble blue seal:

The lowly gold card:

[fierce rain]

Ugh thunk what are the requirements for unlocking painted deck

[rare yew]

I unno what do I look like, your google search bar?

[fierce rain]

I don’t wanna get out my laptop

[fierce rain]

Yes

I’m just gonna play PS4 remote play ngl

[eternal shoal]

yo thunk you should make a black seal

[fiery flower]

the urge is immense. But if I start again I won't get anything else done for weeks

[fierce rain]

Winning a green stake run fml

Alright let’s grind out to green stake

[fiery flower]

that would look cool

[fierce rain]

I know I know but that’s at least an hour on a fresh save

[eternal shoal]

yea iono what it would do lmao

[fiery flower]

look cool

[rare yew]

You ever just go on white stake and skip every blind

And win in like 7 mins

[fiery flower]

every time

all the time

[fierce rain]

Fellas what deck do I grind out: Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green?

[fierce rain]

Ohhh that’s smart actually

[rare yew]

Yellow

[crystal spade]

green is fun

[fierce rain]

And I need that trophy on ps4 too

Let’s just do that

Good idea Mr thunk

[fiery flower]

what's life without a little bit of luck

[fierce rain]

You’re so smart

[rare yew]

No I’m not don’t flatter me

[fiery flower]

I do

I play all the stakes

sometimes even put my life on the lucky cards

[fierce rain]

Ok you suck

[rare yew]

Ty ty

[fierce rain]

No

Problem

[fiery flower]

they always hit

[rare yew]

Hey do you think people are mad that I made the hard deck one of the first ones you unlock

[fiery flower]

which one is the hard one

[rare yew]

Which do you think

[crystal spade]

black?

[eternal shoal]

thunk have you done an unseeded naninf

[fierce rain]

My first ever win was on Black Deck

[fiery flower]

I honestly don't know

[eternal shoal]

r u like hella good at the game

[rare yew]

I never play endless

[fiery flower]

I think green deck is the one I've struggled with the most

[fierce rain]

Is black the hard one?

[eternal shoal]

oh nahh that’s crazy

[fierce rain]

What’s the hard one

[eternal shoal]

true it’s hella luck

[rare yew]

Come on now black is the hard one

[fiery flower]

sure is fun to go for

[fierce rain]

Literally how. It was my first ever win.

I struggled so hard on every other deck prior

[eternal shoal]

dude i struggled on black for so long

it’s wild

[rare yew]

White stake

[fiery flower]

it's hard but I think I've lost more on multiple other decks

[fierce rain]

Well yeah

But comparatively

[fiery flower]

probably in the long run

[fierce rain]

Black is easiest on white stake compared to everything else

[rare yew]

it’s the hardest

The extra joker slot means nothing until mid game

[fierce rain]

Nuh uh

[rare yew]

And even then it’s only as good as your 6th best joker

Minus 1 hand is horrible

[eternal shoal]

riff raff off rip trust

[fiery flower]

where's potential man when you need him

[fiery flower]

idk

[rare yew]

Humble plasma:

[fiery flower]

yellow deck fixes my poor ante 1 decision making

[eternal shoal]

rough take bro i’m ngl

[rare yew]

Boots is baiting

[fierce rain]

I’m genuinely not

Maybe I’m just built different

[eternal shoal]

i ran my win streak up to like 30 on ts just cuz

[fiery flower]

surely

[rare yew]

Must be that

[flint copper]

There should be a deck for every stake colour and stake for every deck colour

[eternal shoal]

i heard smb say jack black plays balatro is that true

[rare yew]

I have a close friend, one of the people I made Balatro for, and he wanted to get a 100 streak on his Switch. He hit a streak into the 80s or 90s on 3 separate occasions and lost the streak on all 3

[fiery flower]

why

[rare yew]

And now he doesn’t talk to me about Balatro anymore

[fiery flower]

well you never know

[eternal shoal]

that’s unlucky asf

[fierce rain]

What do you mean by a streak

[rare yew]

Stats screen

[fiery flower]

the game has a habit of being addicting

[fierce rain]

God I have no clue what you’re talking about

[rare yew]

He was white staking it too

[fiery flower]

I thought you were built different

[fierce rain]

Ohhh highest win streak

Sorry I’m dumb

[rare yew]

He was telling me he could get like 10 wins on a good night

So that was basically a month or 2 of him grinding Balatro white stake

[fierce rain]

Tfw you see Vagabond in shop (your beloved) but you’re skipping all blinds on yellow deck so you have 84 dollars and he’s lowk useless

[eternal shoal]

thunk u should add multiplayer into the main game frl

that shit sounds like a hassle but it would be fire

[rare yew]

Absolutely not

[eternal shoal]

lmaooo

[rare yew]

Never going to happen

[eternal shoal]

any specific reason

[fierce rain]

Obelisk

[rare yew]

I’d rather boil alive in a molten vat of lava

[fierce rain]

How disgusting

[eternal shoal]

now that i’m thinking about it, it would ruin the game

[fierce rain]

NATURAL NEGATIVE VAGABOND

[eternal shoal]

never touched ts in my life

[fiery flower]

sounds like a nightmare to try and make secure

[fierce rain]

MY BELOVED WANTS ME

HE WANTS TO JOIN THE SQUAD

[rare yew]

I don’t want to make a multiplayer game

[eternal shoal]

yea anticheat too it would be bad

[fierce rain]

DUDE I LOVE YOU BUT NOT TODAY

[rare yew]

Dealing with the community would suck ass too

[eternal shoal]

i was gonna say that

[rare yew]

It’s so much more chill single player

[eternal shoal]

add unmoderated vc for 1 day

[fierce rain]

Plus you’d have to host servers

[rare yew]

I’d rather just keep making the game I wanted to make

And not capitulate and make something other people want that I don’t

[fiery flower]

I think it's one of the only games that's replicated the feeling of immersion where time flies by for me. Really only Minecraft has the same effect.

[rare yew]

I get to do that as the guy calling the shots

[eternal shoal]

fr i lose track of time hella

[fiery flower]

start playing at 7 PM to get some runs in and end up playing till 12 or 1 in the morning

[fierce rain]

Plus aren’t there already multiplayer mods

Just play those

[rare yew]

Yeah exactly

[eternal shoal]

i do i was js wondering if it was ever gonna happen

multi is buns too

some of the custom jokers are creative tho

[fierce rain]

Tfw you don’t read the boss blind and it’s lowk the mouth so you genuinely just lost the run

HE DID IT

[eternal shoal]

penny pincher is my goat bro

[fierce rain]

LETS GOOOO

final hand I got enough cards to make another full house

Lets gooooo

[rare yew]

If I ever sold the Balatro IP I’m sure whoever buys it would implement multiplayer though

And like a season pass or some shit

[fierce rain]

Don’t sell it

You have no reason to

[eternal shoal]

bro dead don’t sell

[rare yew]

It’d print money for them

[fierce rain]

Please you don’t need more money

[rare yew]

lmao I’m not selling

[fierce rain]

Thank god

[eternal shoal]

good good

[rare yew]

I’m just saying there’s a big financial incentive

[eternal shoal]

u created a niche community that’s hella peak

did u ever think it would get this big

i never thought about that

idk what would happen lmao

[rare yew]

And if it was run by a big ol team that wanted to maximize profits they’d absolutely make a multiplayer mode

[fierce rain]

You could also just not sell and have a passive income stream the rest of your life

[fiery flower]

we do not need a balancing team like Clash Royale has 🙏

[rare yew]

I could sell and have a passive income stream for many many lives though

Ever think of that

[fierce rain]

Fine then

Sell it

Do it

No balls

You won’t

[fiery flower]

17 broken legendary Jokers for $5 each

[fierce rain]

I know your morals

You would never

[rare yew]

One sec calling Tencent

[fierce rain]

I’d love to listen in to that call

[fiery flower]

only ten cents? that's not worth it

[rare yew]

They did call me early on once

To discuss business

[fierce rain]

Did they want to acquire thine video game

[rare yew]

I think so but I told them that wasn’t going to happen before they said a number

Kinda wish I heard the number

[eternal shoal]

what’s the most you’ve been offered for it

or for a percentage of it

[rare yew]

I just tell people it’s not for sale

[eternal shoal]

mmm yea

[fierce rain]

$7 and a Junior Chicken McValue meal (he’s vegetarian)

[eternal shoal]

i would too tbh

[rare yew]

So I’ve never had a serious offer

[fierce rain]

I’ll give you $20 cash

Not even joking

I’d dish out that change

Right here right now

[rare yew]

You already did for 0%

When you bought the game

[fierce rain]

Fuck uh

$21?

[fiery flower]

and I'll buy it again, you can't stop me

😡

[rare yew]

Oh no!

Oh dear no!

[eternal shoal]

thunk does apple rip u off i heard they be doin that

[rare yew]

Absolutely not

???

They’ve been a great partner

[fiery flower]

actually if I do that for my mobile device I might never get anything done. I have to keep it on my console so it takes effort to go and play it

[fierce rain]

Yeah dude I have like 4 copies so technically I’ve dished out 4x that for 0%

[eternal shoal]

fr i’ve heard bad things

[rare yew]

Well you’re now hearing a good thing

[balmy sapphire]

dw thunk, i got balatro 3 times

[eternal shoal]

i guess an

i am

[fierce rain]

Do you control when Balatro goes on sale or is that all playstack?

[rare yew]

Uhhhh I do technically have “control”, but I trust them so they just do it

They handle a lot of stuff like that so I don’t have to think about it

[fierce rain]

And did you and Playstack make the decision to put it on PS+ and Gamepass and allat or was that Sony and Microsoft coming up to you

[fiery flower]

apple bad cause it's old

not very tasty

[rare yew]

I don’t know how much of that process I’m allowed to talk about tbh

[fierce rain]

Weird

Alright

[rare yew]

But both Playstack and I were involved

[rare yew]

Sign a few NDAs and that’s what happens

[fierce rain]

I’ve just always wondered if the developers and publishers get approached or if they’re the ones approaching

[rare yew]

It happens both ways

[fierce rain]

Tbf I can prolly google it and find an answer

[rare yew]

If a game is a big potential seller the platform will likely approach the pub or dev

[fierce rain]

Hey man, don’t answer what you don’t want to/can’t.

[rare yew]

But you can also pitch

[fierce rain]

Oh sweet

[rare yew]

Same goes with getting a publisher

[fierce rain]

But I don’t suppose you can tell me which one you guys did, eh?

[unborn zephyr]

Hi balatrians

[rare yew]

You can either be approached or have to pitch a publisher for funding

[fiery flower]

hello

[languid kiln]

Hey thunk love your game bye thunk

[fierce rain]

Hmm

Interesting

[rare yew]

Like I was approached by 3 pubs

Or maybe 4

I didn’t have to pitch luckily

[fierce rain]

So at what stage did Playstack get involved? I assume your game was already out on steam before you even considered Publishers

[rare yew]

It’s all in that Balatro timeline post

[fierce rain]

God I should read that sometime

[rare yew]

https://localthunk.com/blog/balatro-timeline-3aarh

[fierce rain]

Ah well I’ve put it off this long

I might as well read it now

Cya in like 5 mins

[rare yew]

I wrote it partially as a kind of FAQ for these kinds of questions, it’s more thorough than I can get in a chat

[frank sinew]

hey does anyone know what the canvas/pixel definitions are for the jokers? someone wants me to do some art for a mod and idk what dimensions i should use in asperite

[rare yew]

69 by 93

[compact stump]

Hello chat

hello thunky

[rare yew]

No way is that Cleb

Hi Cleb

[compact stump]

Is that Localthunk?

[rare yew]

[compact stump]

guy that made oops all sixes?

goated

[unborn zephyr]

Thanks rui

[frank sinew]

thank u sm!!

[twin prairie]

thunk just in here vibing and I'm just going on a mute spree

[frank sinew]

wait pixels right?

[rare yew]

👋 hello!

[twin prairie]

i love the suit Maple Leaf

[rare yew]

Yes usually when I make them it’s 71 by 95 pixels but that includes a 1 pixel border on all sides

[compact stump]

it’s because he’s a gardener

[rare yew]

Thank you an American chatter was making fun of me for it

[twin prairie]

instant ban

[frank sinew]

alright this would be my actual first time doing pixel art if i do the mod lol

[compact stump]

gl!

[rare yew]

Have fun!

[unborn zephyr]

Grrr

[languid kiln]

And remember to drink water ;3

[unborn zephyr]

Stop deleting stickers

[rare yew]

Lmao the sticker insta yeet

[frank sinew]

uh lemme see if i can grab it if you wanna check it out

[unborn zephyr]

[rare yew]

Stickers are automodded here

[languid kiln]

Okie.

[unborn zephyr]

I love rui

But not as much as I love toya

[compact stump]

Thunk how was your day

[unborn zephyr]

[rare yew]

Uhhhh it was kinda sick actually

[compact stump]

I’m all ears

eyes

[fiery flower]

😍

[autumn shell]

Damn it a stupid dog bit my gf’s face

[twin prairie]

@rare yew have you heard/tried Gambonanza?

[languid kiln]

I'm all hands ^^

[rare yew]

I am working on a top secret project right now and it was a lot of fun, kind of game design related

[compact stump]

damn , she ok?

[twin prairie]

we love a project with an nda

[autumn shell]

Yeah but it looks pretty bad

[rare yew]

I have heard of it but I’m not really playing much right now

I still haven’t gotten around to Mewgenics yet

[compact stump]

ohhhh

i wanna know now

[stray vault]

Slay the spire 2 is coming

[boreal niche]

there's a dead pixel on shortcut :clueless:

[twin prairie]

It's definitely taken a lot of inspiration from Balatro, but it's really fun. I think it's cool that Balatro-like is debatably a sub-genre of Roguelites

[compact stump]

where.

[boreal niche]

check game-discussion

now if we could pretend that i didn't use ms paint

and then actually act like there is a dead pixel

that would be great

[compact stump]

I hate you.

[fierce rain]

God damn dude

What a story

[quartz glade]

where

[stray vault]

Same question

[twin prairie]

It was a joke

[languid kiln]

Yeh pixels are a bit bigger

[compact stump]

true

[twin prairie]

now no one knows what you referenced

you just look crazy now

[coarse comet]

might be a shot in the dark but i think its on the shortcut joker

[rare yew]

Glad you liked it!

[fierce rain]

I’m glad you finally pushed me to read it

[compact stump]

It’s very good written too

imo

[languid kiln]

That's an amazing story honestly.

[autumn shell]

Anyone here heard of Crypt of the Necrodancer?

[fierce rain]

This is really funny to me because your message about his story being well written has improper grammar

Not to be overly critical

Love you cleb

But the irony
