I would've gotten a Switch 2 if Tomodachi Life 2 was only on Switch 2 but you can play it on Switch 1 do uhh idc

[solemn elm]

i will never buy a new switch 2

[violet thistle]

Is switch 2 really worth it tbh

[solemn elm]

fuck nintendo

[signal sonnet]

Eh

They got a few games

[violet thistle]

Mainly the new ceo

[solemn elm]

nah fuck nintendo

theyve been horrible for decades

[signal sonnet]

Bro fuck Doug Bowser bro what did he even do

[violet thistle]

Fair enough

[compact stump]

is there a way to know how big is the new balala plush?

[signal sonnet]

Genuinely what did Doug Bowser do I can't name one thing

[oblique isle]

It is about the height of the average male torso

I THINK

[solemn elm]

new plush? i thought it was a yootooz

[compact stump]

mhmmmm

[compact stump]

look at server chat

[solemn elm]

???

thats the one we're in now twin

[compact stump]

off topic

i’m dumb dumb

[oblique isle]

Goober

[signal sonnet]

Ah hell mah they made the banana into a blush

[oblique isle]

I’m gonna ask my mom to get it for me for my birthday despite me being able to afford it

[violet thistle]

Does it give +15 mult

[signal sonnet]

I hope it has that thing where you cut the plush open and there's like a lil knick knack inside

But like Cavendish

[signal sonnet]

Yea

[compact stump]

lol that would be cool

cavendish inside

[signal sonnet]

But an actual cavendish banana in the plush

[oblique isle]

TRUE

[signal sonnet]

Not like a card or anything just a whole banana

[violet thistle]

And does it have a 1 in 6 chance of disappearing

[signal sonnet]

Yea

[oblique isle]

every time you squeeze it

[violet thistle]

Tough investment

[signal sonnet]

Gonna do my first Purple Stake run Blue Deck

I forgot Purple Stake existed

[violet thistle]

Fair enough

[signal sonnet]

Eternal Superposition 🔥

[oblique isle]

Asked her

[placid turret]

[signal sonnet]

I'm doing purple stake

[oblique isle]

I’m going to EAT you…

[signal sonnet]

Ah dangit bro

Eternal Gold Joker

[placid turret]

GUH

[oblique isle]

You’re salt

[placid turret]

i love early econ!

[oblique isle]

Salt is supposed to be eaten

[signal sonnet]

I like Gold Joker but I don't know if I want him eternal

[oblique isle]

Cloud 9 next shop

[signal sonnet]

I don't even have any mult Jokers yet

[oblique isle]

We all know cloud 9 is the best

[signal sonnet]

I only got Turtle Bean

[placid turret]

im the saltiest garlic salt ever

[oblique isle]

And I have 0 water in my body

You can’t make me negative dryness

[placid turret]

[oblique isle]

Wrong

[placid turret]

ill take your blood

[oblique isle]

I have none

[placid turret]

ill take your iron

[oblique isle]

That’s good for me

I mean uh

OH NO!!!

[haughty sable]

This genuinely unacceptable? You guys have to know how much people value their save data. Like for real: I'd rather you have not released a Switch 2 version until you can do it right.

[placid turret]

[signal sonnet]

Eternal Loyalty Card

[placid turret]

oooo

wait do you have any plus mult

[signal sonnet]

I have Greedy Joker

[placid turret]

good enough

[signal sonnet]

And Raised fist

Bro I'm not taking eternal loyalty card

[placid turret]

if you spend your hands on small blind you get a crisp 4x mult for the boss blind

[signal sonnet]

I'M NOT TAKING ETERNAL LOYALTY CARD

I'm starting a new run this run sucks

[placid turret]

BRO

[signal sonnet]

WHAT

[placid turret]

what wouldve happened if you TOOK LOYALTY CARD

[signal sonnet]

I WOULD'VE STILL LOST

[placid turret]

you couldve WON

YOU DONT KNOW THATTTTTT

[hot vortex]

Loyalty card is shit bro 😭

[signal sonnet]

Bro yes I do it's Loyalty Card

[placid turret]

throws cans of food at you

[signal sonnet]

ETERNAL Loyalty Card

Certificate or Wee

[placid turret]

wee 🤑

[signal sonnet]

Too late I already took Certificate

God damnit dude I just got an awesome shop

And I have no money

Hologram and Holographic Duo

I can't afford to sell my certificate man

Certificate and Hologram that's epic synergy

[placid turret]

🦞

[dusk tartan]

I have a classmate who's bragging about pirating balatro and they own this like WEIRD ass bootleg of the physical card deck??? it has the painted deck printed on the box and they claim it's handmade

[signal sonnet]

I NEED A MULT JOKER

[signal sonnet]

O yea I heard about that

[compact stump]

yeahh that’s the Temu one

[signal sonnet]

Apparently some of the cards are edited to have like uhh special editions and seals and stuff idk

[compact stump]

yeah

[solemn elm]

people who brag about pirating indie titles are weird

[dusk tartan]

they pirated it because "they don't like paying for things" and "I heard the ""devs"" are scumbags"

[compact stump]

the aces i think?

[solemn elm]

"devs"

one guy

[signal sonnet]

Holographic Abstract Joker my savior

[compact stump]

Only one guy btw

and he chill ash too

[light beacon]

I think a good comparison would be supporting a small business vs a big one

[signal sonnet]

I got uhh Eternal Rocket

[solemn elm]

i think its ethical to steal from chains and to pirate AAA titles

[dusk tartan]

when I tried to talk about balatro they got really angry for some reason (their friend group doesn't like me due to me being weird due to my disabilities)

[light beacon]

I'd much rather pay $10-15 for something I know I'm going to get a lot out of than $70+

[compact stump]

it’s not the right thing tho

[solemn elm]

how is it not?

[compact stump]

If it was the right thing everyone would do it

[solemn elm]

thats a fallacy

i think killing people is generally bad but people still do it

that doesnt mean its good just because people do it, or vice versa

[compact stump]

It’s not the same

[solemn elm]

it's analogous

you used a fallacy instead of just explaining how it's not right

[compact stump]

It’s basically stealing.

[solemn elm]

it is stealing

[compact stump]

It’s actually stealing

[solemn elm]

and i think that stealing isn't always wrong

[signal sonnet]

Stealing is bad

[solemn elm]

i think stealing is actually right sometimes

[compact stump]

I think you are wrong

[signal sonnet]

Name one instance where stealing is right

[solemn elm]

do you think that a starving mother and child stealing baby formula and bread is wrong

[solemn elm]

just did

[signal sonnet]

How tf did bro respond that quickly

[compact stump]

i’m not not saying it’s not ethical to do in some cases

I’m saying it’s not the right thing

[dusk tartan]

I think a better comparison is that you're being provided with a good/service and yet you aren't willing to pay for it. it's like not paying your food at a fast food restaurant you're currently eating at because you would rather buy food from the local family owned restaurant

[solemn elm]

???

youre using the word incorrectly then

righteousness is a moral and ethical quality

[signal sonnet]

I just need help with my purple stake run bru

[solemn elm]

it's immoral to kill people (usually), therefore it isn't right to kill people (usually)

[signal sonnet]

Should I take Eternal Photograph

[ionic hinge]

Morality. such an interesting philosophical thing to ponder

[daring zodiac]

I mean what is right and wrong?

Is there even such a thing?

[solemn elm]

well yes

i dont think there is objective morality but i think that people understand what they believe to be right and wrong

if you believe something should not be done then you believe it to be wrong

[compact stump]

i see your point

[boreal scarab]

There's not objective morality, but there is subjective, basically

[compact stump]

Aren’t rules somewhat objective morality?

or they try to be

[placid turret]

objective morality will never exist if free will exists

[compact stump]

like the law

[solemn elm]

no

[boreal scarab]

They try to be, but its ultimately subjective

[solemn elm]

they don't try to be though

[light beacon]

What about people who believe absolutely heinous things to be what is right

[signal sonnet]

Why are we discussing morality in the Balatro discord

[placid turret]

for something to be objectively right everyone in the world must think its right

[little anvil]

i just hit ant12!

[boreal scarab]

Idfk

[daring zodiac]

Because morality is interesting

[compact stump]

why not

[signal sonnet]

Crash help me with my Purple Stake run

[light beacon]

If you want to talk about game go #🕹・game-discussion

[little anvil]

300 million is absurd 😭😭

[signal sonnet]

Ok

[solemn elm]

that also doesnt make it objective, that makes it agreed upon. objective morality would mean it's an intrinsic property / something that can be proven

just because everyone believes something doesnt make it true

[obtuse snow]

what is localthunk's favourite vegetable

[placid turret]

well, id say its the closest thing to it. theres always gonna be an outlier that thinks otherwise

[obtuse snow]

tempted to cook a thunk inspired dish for iftar

[compact stump]

broccoli

[boreal scarab]

Dawg, I havent even passed white stake

[obtuse snow]

problem is, i hate most veggies

[solemn elm]

i love broccoli

[shadow wadi]

Free Will is one of those things that we're not sure actually exist in a deterministic universe.

That said, a deterministic universe also doesn't prove objective morality.

[placid turret]

same

[light beacon]

broccoli is one of the few vegetables i don't like

[obtuse snow]

broccoli is weitd

[compact stump]

steamed broccoli

[obtuse snow]

i can only eat it in a stirfry

[compact stump]

i like it steamed

[placid turret]

broccoli is great in most ways

[daring zodiac]

Brussel sprouts

Make some brussel sprouts

[placid turret]

except in some kinda sauce

soup? yes but sauce? no

[compact stump]

he’s veg too btw

[placid turret]

cool

[solemn elm]

steamed broccoli is the worst way of cooking it imo

other than boiling

[placid turret]

how do you like it then

[solemn elm]

fried

[compact stump]

i’ve honestly never tried any other way of cooking it

[daring zodiac]

American af

[solemn elm]

frying doesnt mean in a fuck ton of oil...

[compact stump]

Doesn’t that gets dry?

[solemn elm]

frying just means

in a frying pan

[daring zodiac]

Well that’s how I took it

[boreal scarab]

Oh, I was thinking air fryer

My bad

[compact stump]

yeah

[solemn elm]

thats baking

[daring zodiac]

For all I know you could be battering that shit up

And frying it

[solemn elm]

then i would say battered

[daring zodiac]

It’s just called fried

[solemn elm]

for certain foods yes

but frying doesnt mean it's coated in something

[boreal scarab]

If its baking it, why is it called an air FRYER?

[placid turret]

i like fried cauliflower

[solemn elm]

for marketing

[boreal scarab]

Yay, capitalism

[solemn elm]

its always for marketing

its just a small oven

[daring zodiac]

True

Air fryer will change your life

[little anvil]

why so many c++

why no python

[solemn elm]

do you know what C++ is in balatro context

it's an achievement

[little anvil]

no

[solemn elm]

did you think everyone just knew C++

[little anvil]

oh 😭

[daring zodiac]

Because we only code with C++

[compact stump]

lmao

[placid turret]

yep

[little anvil]

im new to the game lol

[light beacon]

balatro programming club

[solemn elm]

how is that more logical though i dont get how that's a common misconception

[little anvil]

yes 😭😭😭😭

[boreal scarab]

C++ is getting every achievement, basically

[little anvil]

no i just thot like

[daring zodiac]

It’s getting every gold sticker

[boreal scarab]

Because you'll get everything on the way to C++

[compact stump]

C++ means Completionist++

[daring zodiac]

In every joker

[solemn elm]

no you wont

[boreal scarab]

Thats what I meant

[solemn elm]

i didnt

[little anvil]

you are a c++ glazer

[placid turret]

wild card flush

[solemn elm]

challenges

[placid turret]

uhhhh rulebender

[boreal scarab]

Otherwise just Gold stickers on every Joker

[light beacon]

c+ is "win a gold stake run on all decks" right

[daring zodiac]

Tiny hands

[obtuse snow]

yeah i know

[light beacon]

idk if i'm gonna go for c++ but i'll at least try to get c+ eventually

[daring zodiac]

I didn’t think I’d ever go for c++

But the game is fun

So I did

[light beacon]

gold stake yellow deck was kicking my butt, i'm too addicted to flush builds

[little anvil]

it really is

[daring zodiac]

Oh my sweet summer child

[solemn elm]

C+ takes less time than C++ does, it just feels grindier

[little anvil]

i tucking love gambling

[compact stump]

i know i will go for c++ but my gold stake win rate is fucked

[daring zodiac]

Me too dude

[solemn elm]

C+ is 120 wins, C++ is ~50 wins

[daring zodiac]

He’s on his flush ark

Arc

[little anvil]

whats c++^2 then 😭

[solemn elm]

did it twice

[little anvil]

wowzers

[solemn elm]

ive 100%'d the game on steam and mobile

[little anvil]

truly gaming

[light beacon]

flushes are just very fun! and there's a lot of cool suit-based jokers to work with

[rain moat]

Glad there is a Switch 2 edition of Balatro but I WISH there was a upgrade pack

[boreal scarab]

Im going for all achievements/trophies, so I guess Im doing C++ on both mobile and Playstation

[daring zodiac]

Everybody goes on their straight flush arc

Soon after

[balmy rover]

[fierce rain]

the bottoms of my hands end up running along my mousepad and it kinda burns

i had to refund Drag x Drive for that reason specifically

[placid turret]

shit that sucks

[fierce rain]

yeah a little bit

[nocturne bramble]

very glad to see a sw2 version sadly i only have the game physically on switch so i think im out of luck,
i dont really mind that much
i mainly got it physically to put it on my shelf because i usually play on pc

[fierce rain]

yeah i saw that

that’s kinda buns

[placid turret]

they should sell a bigger shell for the joycons maybe

[fierce rain]

i don’t understand why it doesn’t work physically when so many other games work like that

[compact stump]

la

[fierce rain]

i’m sure hori or somebody makes an accessory

[compact stump]

i want the new plush

[placid turret]

[light beacon]

and i can export it as an image sequence as a gif

[compact stump]

i lowk wanna try

thx!

[placid turret]

krita

my friends use that

[solemn elm]

its like photoshop but good

and free

[placid turret]

yeah they say its a bit hard to learn tho

[solemn elm]

it has less tutorials than photoshop but it's pretty good imo

[tawny pasture]

my rotating banana army grows

[solemn elm]

omg

[placid turret]

banana fractal when

[signal sonnet]

I finally got Stuntman

[solemn elm]

we should get a banana joker in 1.1 but it's a joker wearing a banana

and we can shorten it's name to banoker

[signal sonnet]

Now I'm only missing ONE Joker

[light beacon]

what would it do

[solemn elm]

thats so peak, nominate me as the balatro dev for 2027

[placid turret]

banoker??

[signal sonnet]

It's Chicot btw

[fierce rain]

my arm feels like it’s falling asleep but i’m not even laying on it so i dunno why

[signal sonnet]

I can't exactly force Chicot to show up so uhh I'll just kinda unlock him when I unlock him

[solemn elm]

Copies the effect of the last joker that was sold or destroyed

honestly actually kind of a sick idea

[fierce rain]

#1FridgeFan when #2RefridgeratorFella walks in

[signal sonnet]

Who tf

[light beacon]

I was kinda thinking some ridiculous xmult but risk of self-destruct higher than

[solemn elm]

refrigerator doesnt have a d in it btw

its so stupid

[fierce rain]

no it totally does

[solemn elm]

"fridge" from "refrigerator"

[fierce rain]

you’re lying

[signal sonnet]

You can spell Refrigerator however you want

[solemn elm]

no it doesnt

[fierce rain]

WHAT THE FUCK

[fierce rain]

HOW HAS NOBODY CORRECTED ME

[fierce rain]

[fierce rain]

I FEEL LIKE A DUMBASS

[fierce rain]

YES

WHAT THE HELL

[signal sonnet]

Umbass

[fierce rain]

WHY DID THEY DO THAT

[solemn elm]

read mow as gary from spongebob saying it

[signal sonnet]

There's no d

[solemn elm]

"mow"

[signal sonnet]

Who said Balatro wasn't educational

Now you know

[fierce rain]

which means refridgeration is spelt refrigeration

this is bullshit

[solemn elm]

frigid doesnt have a d before the g which is where refrigerator comes from,
re-frig-erator

but fridge does lol

stupid ass

frigid just means cold btw

[signal sonnet]

Orange Stake run early game Constellation

[fierce rain]

my girlfriends father is a refrigeration tech and he’s seen me spell refrigerator with a d before

why didn’t HE correct me

[placid turret]

😭

[solemn elm]

lmao

[fierce rain]

I FEEL LIKE A DUMBASS

[signal sonnet]

Happens

[fierce rain]

I’ve written ESSAYS with the word refridgerator in it and i’ve never been corrected

[solemn elm]

oh my god

[fierce rain]

i never lost marks for grammar

[solemn elm]

that means your teachers are also silly

[fierce rain]

this is a big deal for me i’m a massive grammar nazi

[signal sonnet]

This run is suck

[placid turret]

A WHAT

[solemn elm]

yeah ive never liked that term

[fierce rain]

are we sure we don’t spell it ‘refridgerator’ in canada

[placid turret]

WHO made that term

[fierce rain]

i’m really grasping for straws

[signal sonnet]

A what

[fierce rain]

fellas it’s a very common term

[solemn elm]

im sure you dont

[signal sonnet]

Bro just say Grammar Shark

[solemn elm]

it isnt

[fierce rain]

it very much is

[signal sonnet]

Nobody says this bruh 💔

[fierce rain]

everyone says it

[light beacon]

it used to be but you don't really hear it anymore

[fierce rain]

maybe it’s part of my dialect

[solemn elm]

???

[signal sonnet]

I have never heard anyone say that until now

[solemn elm]

5 people in this server have EVER said it

[fierce rain]

i hear people say it irl at least once a month

[solemn elm]

this is a server with 170,000 people and it has been around for years

[fierce rain]

i’ve never heard another term for that

[placid turret]

im concerned how it even became a term

[solemn elm]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar_Nazi#Ethical_critiques

oh wait

[fierce rain]

istg it’s prolly a regional dialect

[solemn elm]

just go to the top of that page

"origins"

[signal sonnet]

Do I take Eternal Crazy or Wrathful Joker

[light beacon]

You heard it a lot more in the 00s

[solemn elm]

wrathful

[placid turret]

holy shit the logo is even worse

[signal sonnet]

How tf do you respond so fast

[solemn elm]

brain works

it works against me sometimes

its the ADHD

[fierce rain]

istg i’m so sorry

[solemn elm]

its alright, you didnt know

now you do

[fierce rain]

i literally have only ever heard people say grammar nazi

[knotty lodge]

Where is John balatro

[olive smelt]

same

[light beacon]

:o adhd gaming

[fierce rain]

who the FUCK says Grammar Shark

[signal sonnet]

More people than whoever tf says that other shit

[placid turret]

grammar police is the only one ive heard

[knotty lodge]

I want to tell him to pls not merge both switch versions of balatro into 1 copy

[solemn elm]

ive just used the word pedant

[knotty lodge]

I want to share licenses between my family

[light beacon]

You could just say like "stickler for grammar" or "grammar police"

[knotty lodge]

Not like I can buy a second one on switch anyways

[fierce rain]

oh i’m still not gonna stop but i won’t say it here anymore

not consciously

[solemn elm]

it probably wont be merged

[solemn elm]

grammar police is one ive heard a lot

[knotty lodge]

Another w for John balatro

[signal sonnet]

Eternal Runner

[placid turret]

Question Time.
Spaghetti or Rice.

[signal sonnet]

I actually just found out uhh Clearance Sale and the other one actually make cards sell for less

[fierce rain]

i’ve heard grammar police before but only a couple times

[solemn elm]

rice

[light beacon]

Depends on my mood but I eat spaghetti more

[solemn elm]

id rather have fusili than spaghetti

[knotty lodge]

Are we going to get a water buffalo joker

[light beacon]

A good white rice is 👌 though

[knotty lodge]

Seeing as the horse joker has been talked about

[signal sonnet]

Is it just regular white rice or can I change it

Like what if I want pork fried rice

[placid turret]

any type

[fierce rain]

even my teachers have been like “i’m not a grammar nazi, just write down the ideas and don’t worry about spelling” and stuff like that

[signal sonnet]

Rice

[solemn elm]

its just the base

[fierce rain]

istg people say it constantly here

[solemn elm]

id rather have rice than spaghetti

if it was rice or pasta id have rice, but it'd be a closer call.

[knotty lodge]

Imo it depends

[placid turret]

BUT just plain

[light beacon]

Spaghetti depends on the sauce

[knotty lodge]

Nah spaghetti then

[ionic hinge]

Oops I dropped my favorite French fry in a vat of acid.

[fierce rain]

alfredo sauce brochacho

[placid turret]

you can have brown rice but not with pork or smth else

[signal sonnet]

Me when I run out of discards and only then get my purple seal

[light beacon]

i like rice but it's not beating a good pesto/vodka sauce

[solemn elm]

if it was plain rice or plain pasta id have pasta all the way

[signal sonnet]

So then by that logic can I not have like Meatballs in my spaghetti

[fierce rain]

i want to put ice in a deep fryer

[solemn elm]

i think youve just not had good dishes with rice then

[placid turret]

[solemn elm]

water in hot oil starts very hot fires

[fierce rain]

[ionic hinge]

No it wouldn't have dropped ice in a deep fryer luckily it wasn't that much so it didn't start a fire

[placid turret]

wrong reply 😭

[solemn elm]

thats why you dont put oil fires out with water

you cover it

[signal sonnet]

Did you mean to message me

[light beacon]

I've eaten small portions of plain pasta before

[solemn elm]

i did not

but its funny

[light beacon]

It's not bad

[fierce rain]

FridgeFan, you will die if you eat spaghetti.

[light beacon]

Then again I've also eaten plain tortillas as snack food

[solemn elm]

tortilla chips are just exactly that, usually with a bit of salt

[signal sonnet]

Ok

[solemn elm]

i fw tortilla chips

[fierce rain]

just stay away for your own good

[signal sonnet]

My birthday is really soon

[fierce rain]

[signal sonnet]

I sure hope somebody gives me a happy birthday that day

[fierce rain]

the curse doesn’t care who’s birthday it is

[light beacon]

I hope she made lotsa spaghetti!

[placid turret]

repo! the genetic opera

[fierce rain]

that’s mama luigi to you.

[signal sonnet]

If you guys don't tell me to have a happy birthday on my birthday I'm gonna be depressed

And then uhh blow up my microwave

[light beacon]

Where's the dinner?

[fierce rain]

DUDE WHATS YOUR FUCKING BIRTHDAY

[signal sonnet]

You FORGOT?

[fierce rain]

It’s a stone luigi

[signal sonnet]

[solemn elm]

AND WHATS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

[signal sonnet]

And you forget when my birthday is

[fierce rain]

I DONT HAVE ONE

[solemn elm]

we dont have those here

[signal sonnet]

I thought we were FRIENDS

[fierce rain]

[solemn elm]

we have national insurance numbers though

[fierce rain]

we have social insurance numbers

[solemn elm]

probably the same thing

[fierce rain]

yeah

[placid turret]

we have social security numbers

its just a birthday and 4 secret digits

[signal sonnet]

I'm so sad I think I'm gonna blow up my toaster now

[fierce rain]

mine starts with 132, which means i was born in Nova Scotia, Canada

the rest of the numbers are random i think

[rare yew]

please don't share your social insurance number in the Balatro server chat

[fierce rain]

IM NOT

[placid turret]

1984

[rare yew]

(things I never thought I'd need to say)

[fierce rain]

I COULD GUESS YOUR FIRST 3 NUMBERS IF I WANTED TO

[signal sonnet]

Can't do anything here bruh💔

[placid turret]

lmao

[fierce rain]

ITS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE

[light beacon]

what is social insurance

[fierce rain]

is there a 6 or 7 in your social security number

[placid turret]

what is social

[signal sonnet]

Probably idk

[fierce rain]

you don’t know it

bro should get on that fr

[ionic hinge]

At least I still have my chicken quesadilla

[signal sonnet]

I forget things

I have it written down somewhere

[fierce rain]

memorizing ts is an important part of being an adult

[signal sonnet]

Ok Boots say yours rn

[fierce rain]

13267676769

[compact stump]

what the fuck did i came back to

[placid turret]

stuff

[fierce rain]

it’s not 13267676769

[signal sonnet]

Yea I figured

[placid turret]

222222222

[fierce rain]

it’s actually 132420696721

[signal sonnet]

Hi Gleb

[light beacon]

I'm gonna go flush the toilet in balaclava poker card game some more I think

[supple cedar]

Do you get balatro for free on switch 2 if you have a physical switch copy?

[fierce rain]

no

bullshit ik

[solemn elm]

no

[signal sonnet]

Who even owns a Switch 2

[fierce rain]

and i don’t think there’s any way to upgrade it

[solemn elm]

there's no upgrade, it's a separate version

[signal sonnet]

Why did they name it Switch 2? That's a stupid name

[solemn elm]

its the 2nd one

[supple cedar]

That sucks

[fierce rain]

ikr should’ve been the Switch U

[signal sonnet]

They've had second versions of consoles that aren't just "Console 2"

[solemn elm]

yeah

[placid turret]

the ds and 3ds

[solemn elm]

also the 2DS

[rustic plover]

Tell that to playstation

[fierce rain]

bro we’re on the playstation 5.

[signal sonnet]

I don't play Playstation I don't care

[placid turret]

oh wait xbox 360

[signal sonnet]

Cuz it's the 360th

[fierce rain]

no it’s because they only sold 359 Original Xboxes

they had to do something special for the next generation

[solemn elm]

and then xbox one is cause neo is in every one of them

so theyre all the one

[fierce rain]

and then we all know how big of a flop the 360 was so we got the One

[fierce rain]

oh yeah that too

[solemn elm]

and then X is cause you gotta solve for it

[fierce rain]

and the S because Sugma Balls

[solemn elm]

low calorie thunk

hicalthunk

[placid turret]

my ears are melting

[solemn elm]

on his bulking arc

[signal sonnet]

S stands for Small

[fierce rain]

slim…

[tawny pasture]

we got one because my wife wanted one. And ive been using it for animal crossing update lol

[fierce rain]

i bought it on black friday

[signal sonnet]

Fair

[solemn elm]

ill eventually get a switch 2 second hand whenever i have a big enough reason to get one

but im definitely not buying one new

fuck nintendo

[fierce rain]

played 80 hours of legends za and it’s basically been collecting dust since

[tawny pasture]

we got it at costco for a good deal, im typically not a nintendo fan overall

[signal sonnet]

Tbf my Switch is in very poor shape so maybe I should get a new one

[placid turret]

i have a wii

[signal sonnet]

Or just new controllers

[signal sonnet]

A WORKING Wii?

[solemn elm]

i have a DSi and a 2DS

[signal sonnet]

Cool me too

[fierce rain]

i’d recommend upgrading sooner than later. people are projecting the Switch 2 to go up in price because of the RAM shortage

[solemn elm]

i homebrewed both of them

[signal sonnet]

I used to have a 3DS but I lost it

[placid turret]

dude i should mod my dsi and 3ds

[plucky breach]

Legit

[solemn elm]

people project a lot of things

insecurities, stock markets, you name 'em

[solemn elm]

YES

homebrewing my DS' was the best thing ive ever done on consoles

[placid turret]

BUT I DONT HAVE ANY SLOT FOR THE MEMORY CARD TO IMPORT THE JAILBREAKS AND EVERYTHING

[austere ore]

movies

[solemn elm]

fuck nintendo for closing the eShop but it also means theres no reason for me not to just get every single game ever

oh wait

[austere ore]

pushmo

[plucky breach]

I just wish more third party games had a proper switch 2 versions
I’d buy persona 5 for the 4th time if it ran well on switch 2

[austere ore]

pushmo is one of the best 3DS games

[fierce rain]

i have an OG 3DS (got it in my buddy’s will), OG 3DS XL (my childhood one), New 3DS XL Galaxy Edition, Wii, Wii U x2, Nintendo Switch (launch model, unpatched), Nintendo Switch 2, PS2, PS Vita, PS4 x2, PS5

[solemn elm]

i might get a 3DS XL

[plucky breach]

Remember when people cyber bullied Sony to not close the PS3/Vita store and it’s still running?

[placid turret]

WOW

[oblique isle]

I got a Wii and Wii U

[solemn elm]

im very glad

[oblique isle]

I got black I got white

[solemn elm]

unless it becomes insanely costly, it shouldnt be closed down

[fierce rain]

yeah i like spending money

[solemn elm]

and for a multi-billion dollar company like Sony or Nintendo, they can afford to.

[placid turret]

dude the prices have skyrocketed ever since i took a look

[fierce rain]

they’ve been on the rise since 2020

i’ve been telling people for years to get one sooner than later

and they never listen

and the price keeps on climbing

[plucky breach]

Retro gaming in general is a scam
I was in Tokyo last month and legit, 3DS costs more than Switch Lite

It’s insane

[signal sonnet]

Nintendo when you pirate a 20 year old game they don't sell anymore

[fierce rain]

technically we aren’t supposed to talk about piracy here

[stable isle]

don't get the discord server subpoenaed

[signal sonnet]

What's wrong with pirates

[fierce rain]

but you best believe my 3ds has h-shop

[signal sonnet]

They go yarg and have hooks and stuff

[fierce rain]

and my vita has PKG-J

[compact stump]

i want a ps vita

[plucky breach]

Good thing I got my 3DS on December 31st 2019 I guess😁

[placid turret]

i have 6 3ds games and 2 ds games

and 2 software games

[fierce rain]

honestly you would’ve been fine up until March 5th 2020

[placid turret]

i have rhythm heaven on software

[steel fiber]

i wish my B button on my new 3ds XL wasn't... i don't know have happened, it jhst, wasn't resposnive

it wasn't like that before

[placid turret]

DUDE MINE TOO

[fierce rain]

highly recommend

[solemn elm]

i bought 32GB of DDR5 RAM like a year ago for £80 and that same ram is now £330

[placid turret]

ITS ALWAYS THE B BUTTON FOR SOME REASON

[solemn elm]

fuck AI

[fierce rain]

i’m really happy i upgraded my M.2 ssd in September instead of waiting like i planned

[plucky breach]

I think Switch Lite will become the new PSP/Vita in terms of consoles people hold near and dear to their hearts

[steel fiber]

i wonder if it's an issue on the non-XL new 3ds

[compact stump]

i had one like 11-12 years ago

[fierce rain]

WHAT HAPPENED

dude you should buy one

check facebook marketplace

[compact stump]

nahhh but i want the old games tho

[placid turret]

i have an old office pc in storage i could dismantle it

[fierce rain]

we can start a minecraft world together

[compact stump]

imploded

[fierce rain]

oh yikes how

[compact stump]

lmao you can do that?

[fierce rain]

yeah online servers are still up

[compact stump]

it just broke

[placid turret]

the jimbcord minecraft smp

[compact stump]

idk how

it broke

[plucky breach]

People want for the Cappuccino Assasino VS Tung Tung Tung Sahur fight to have a better choreography and now Xbox Series X costs a grand

[fierce rain]

weird

[compact stump]

ohh that’s fun

[fierce rain]

we should start the JumboCord SMP (only works for Minecraft Playstation Vita Edition)

[compact stump]

now i wanna check marketplace and shit like that

[fierce rain]

you should

there’s one near me for $80

[compact stump]

a 3DS Would be fun too

[fierce rain]

they’re not impossible to obtain like the 3ds

[placid turret]

yo streetpass

[compact stump]

i still have it actually

just no charger

[plucky breach]

Minecraft PSVITA edition is honestly one of the most weird ports I’ve seen
It’s not barely functioning like the 3DS one but it’s not quite on the level of PS3/360

[fierce rain]

oh dude chargers are cheap

[signal sonnet]

How many people have you genuinely street passed that you don't know

[solemn elm]

1

[fierce rain]

so many

at school

[solemn elm]

and it was 8 years ago

[fierce rain]

and stuff

[placid turret]

1

[signal sonnet]

I streetpassed like maybe 8 people total

[plucky breach]

I’ve never have seen a single street pass

[compact stump]

3DS are?

[fierce rain]

yall ever take your 3ds to a comic convention and rack up like 80 street passes

[fierce rain]

yeah they’re so expensive

[placid turret]

i have streetpassed 3 people in total

[long atlas]

like 25

thank you smash bros 3ds

[compact stump]

monee…

[placid turret]

i had the demo

also hello jan

[long atlas]

my 3ds broke im so pissed abt it

[fierce rain]

cleb i wish i could send you a charger

[long atlas]

hola salt

[fierce rain]

i legit have 5

[compact stump]

damn

[placid turret]

i used to have 2

[fierce rain]

but alas privacy rules say we must stay anonymous

[placid turret]

but i gave one away

[compact stump]

It’s been like 10 years without charging it

[fierce rain]

just find one online or on marketplace

they’re cheap

[compact stump]

wonder if it still works

prolly not

[fierce rain]

it likely does

those things are wonderful

alr gtg

[signal sonnet]

Did you know they make single use chargers

[compact stump]

who

[signal sonnet]

Did you know glob

[placid turret]

nintendo???

[signal sonnet]

Did you know that

[signal sonnet]

NOT NINTENDO

[compact stump]

WHO

[long atlas]

dude my pokémon y corrupted my 3ds and bricked it

[signal sonnet]

Idk some company

[placid turret]

HOW

[long atlas]

glob you don’t know yourself

[signal sonnet]

You charge your phone once and then throw it away

[oblique isle]

It’s not how, it’s Y

[compact stump]

AHHHH

[long atlas]

idk the lumiose bug or whatever

[plucky breach]

Oh yeah fun fact all NEW line 3DS consoles didn’t come with a charger because Nintendo wanted to save 3 pennies per console

[signal sonnet]

It's ok Glub

[placid turret]

the new 3ds line was so weird

[oblique isle]

Didn’t it use the same charger as the previous one

[long atlas]

my pokémon y cartridge is corrupted and my 2ds is bricked that’s all i know

[plucky breach]

Yes, but it’s funny that Nintendo themselves thought that the majority of people already had chargers so it didn’t need one

[placid turret]

they had the weird ass mini circlepads

[plucky breach]

All DS and 3DS have the same charger

[oblique isle]

C stick moment

[long atlas]

i never used it idk why it was there

[fierce rain]

false

[solemn elm]

i think its fine as long as you make sure people choose to get one or not get one

[oblique isle]

Only reason Minecraft can only work on the new line

[long atlas]

it was a nice texture though

[plucky breach]

Or was it DSi that had the same charger as 3DS

[placid turret]

yeah the dsi

[plucky breach]

Oh

[fierce rain]

the ds had a proprietary charger, the lite shared a charger with the gameboy advance sp, and the dsi shared its charger with every 3ds

[plucky breach]

I just have a DSi and 2DSXL and they have the same port

[plucky breach]

Ok ok good to know

Actually I knew that one of them had the GBA port, but I didn’t know the fat DS had a proprietary port

[placid turret]

i loved the giftwraps that you got when you downloaded smth from the eshop

[plucky breach]

That’s so cool I agree

[fierce rain]

real

much better than the inserting keycard animation

or the vitas bubbles shaking

[oblique isle]

Oh boy I love opening gifts

Oh that’s a bomb

3ds blows up

[fierce rain]

what happened to clebs vita

apparently

[plucky breach]

That’s how you mod a Wii btw

[solemn elm]

im hoping switch 2s get homebrewed quickly

[fierce rain]

letterbomb my beloved

[fierce rain]

it won’t

really sorry bout that

but they’re completely lost

[oblique isle]

Nintendo would air strike them

[solemn elm]

the homebrewing community is full of talented people

im sure theyll find a way

[fierce rain]

eventually

but not soon

not for years

[placid turret]

they might aswell take the software and import it to another device

[plucky breach]

There have been signs of progress because I’ve seen people upload custom text to console but nothing close to downloading games

[placid turret]

the Switch 2 Phone

[fierce rain]

that was patched

and was a backend through the orignal switch mode

nothing was able to affect the fw of the switch 2

[solemn elm]

being patched doesnt mean that much

[compact stump]

i keep mistaking ur pfp as solid snake

[solemn elm]

if it was possible at some point it means there exist switches where it's possible

[plucky breach]

If I had a quarter for every time that a Nintendo console was hacked through backwards compatibility I’d have enough for a McDonalds cheeseburger

[placid turret]

lol

[plucky breach]

Ngl same

[gray monolith]

Does switch 2 balatro have mouse controls?

[compact stump]

it lowk has the same colors

[plucky breach]

Not with real mice, only the ones on joycons

[gray monolith]

Also yeah the switch 2 is under lock and key, so was the switch 1 but then Nvidia did an oopsie

[gray monolith]

That's what I was asking lol

If I wanted to play with a regular mouse I'd play on PC

[solemn elm]

3DS and the Wii U were both hacked due to backwards compatibility

i dont know of any others

[gray monolith]

Wii was iirc

[plucky breach]

Wii

[gray monolith]

Early wii homebrew took advantage of the gamecube compatibility

[plucky breach]

And I think Vita was also hacked through backwards compatibility

[light beacon]

The SD card slot is also a big culprit lol

[gray monolith]

My guess is that the switch 2 will eventually get a hardmod but not for a WHILE

[plucky breach]

Shout out to Cubic ninja for being so badly programmed it modded the console

[solemn elm]

i dont think thats true

i know of Twilight Hack but thats all i can find

and thats not necessarily due to backwards compatibility

cause it released for both of them

[light beacon]

Switch 1 softmodding still requires a 2017-2018 system

I don't think switch 2 is getting anything big for many years

[placid turret]

my friends are spam calling me

aAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[solemn elm]

my friends got turned into SPAM

please help

[plucky breach]

Switch 1 was modded so fast mostly due to Nintendo picking an off the shelf soc and nvidias own documentation helped to hack the system
But switch 2 is a completely different story

[solemn elm]

people have said why switch 2 probably wont be homebrewed, but people also said that for years about the xbox one and it eventually got homebrewed because microsoft got lazy

[rain moat]

Apparently you can't transfer save data

[solemn elm]

it's being worked on, but for now you can't

[gray monolith]

I just play with everything unlocked

[rain moat]

any idea when that will come?

[solemn elm]

not sure

[rain moat]

I see

[solemn elm]

fair

no achievements on switch

[rain moat]

Oh btw, will you guys make a Switch 2 role now

[plucky breach]

But then again there weren’t a lot of people in Xbox one modding community to begin with so timeline got pretty stretched

[placid turret]

if they call one more time im gonna scream and force myself to join

[solemn elm]

pick up and deafen/mute

[gray monolith]

Not a lot of people bought an Xbox One in general lol

[rain moat]

(I technically have both a Switch 1 and 2 but I play on Switch 2 now these days. Gave my Switch 1 to my brother)

[rain moat]

At launch yeah

I think when the Xbox One S came out, it started to pick up

[gray monolith]

Nah, it was still a failure by then

[placid turret]

theyre gonna nag me to unmute so hard then

[rain moat]

Its doing better than the Series X

[gray monolith]

Everyone went to PS and while Nintendo took a hit with the Wii U they quickly rebounded with the switch

[placid turret]

i think they stopped thankfully

[rain moat]

and now we got Switch 2

[plucky breach]

Well yes but unfortunately it wasn’t enough

Bloodborne was just too good 😔

[rain moat]

Spider-Man 2018

That was a big one

[plucky breach]

True

Honestly it is so funny to me that the Xbox One reveal event went so badly that Xbox brand will never recover from it

[dawn lake]

man, the lack of save transfer is absolutely baffling to me

[rain moat]

Yeah, I may have to wait downloading the Switch 2 version

Or maybe I’ll download it but just keep it until save transfer is ready

[dawn lake]

I mean I'll still play it, it's just like

why?

I can't think of a good technical reason since plenty of other games have upgraded to NS2 editions without any issue

[rain moat]

I say just download the Switch 2 version of Balatro

And just wait until save data transfer is ready

Until then, play the Switch 1 version

[ivory lake]

Is it confirmed that a save transfer option is being developed?

Otherwise I don't think I'll upgrade yet, specially since I own it physical and we didn't get it for free

[topaz bear]

Guys read off-topic

[rain moat]

Ohhh you own it physical???

[ivory lake]

Yessir

[rain moat]

Oh ig this only works if you own Balatro aka Peaktro digitally on Switch

I own Peaktro on Switch 1 digitally

so I can probably get it for free on Switch 2

[ivory lake]

Yeah apparently you get it for free if you have it digital, at least that's what I read

[rain moat]

@ivory lake Lilo says it is being worked on

[ivory lake]

Oohh nice, that's good

Thank you

[solemn elm]

smithbodie, the community manager at playstack, said that a solution is trying to be found

[rain moat]

Alright

[slim inlet]

Hey, sorry if this has been answered already but does anyone know if an upgrade path for Switch 1 physical owners à la Hogwarts Legacy is being looked into at all?

[rain moat]

Uhh yeah

its only for digital owners

[rain moat]

Yeah that is what I read

[slim inlet]

Do you have any official sources? I'd like to make sure I'm not misinformed is all

[solemn elm]

#📢・announcements

"It's not an upgrade but a separate version that owners of Balatro on Switch get a full discount on"

[slim inlet]

Sorry if I'm being stupid and/or dense but I don't see anything about a upgrade for the physical version specifically

[solemn elm]

alucard said "its only for digital owners"

[slim inlet]

Just the digital version

I even tried getting the discount with my physical cartridge inserted, but it didn't work

[solemn elm]

thats because the license isnt bound to your account like it would be with the digital version

[rain moat]

yeah

I have the digital version

[static adder]

I will be real, this is still incredibly stupid

[solemn elm]

blame nintendo

[static adder]

First of all the way both Nintendo AND Localthunk are advertising this is INCREDIBLY misleading

[solemn elm]

?

[static adder]

https://x.com/BalatroGame/status/2026710990528614418

"If you own the Switch 1 version, you get the full owners discount for the Switch 2 version."

2nd of all the save data not transferring and Localthuunk advertising it as a "positive" is like... really weird???

https://x.com/BalatroGame/status/2026710992323764601

[solemn elm]

the physical cartidge is a license but isnt bound to your account

[static adder]

I get that

but maybe like

[solemn elm]

why would you expect it work on the physical edition if that license can be transferred /genq

[static adder]

mention that in the tweet?

[reef rivet]

nah man I bought balatro in physical version because of the new version 💀

[static adder]

Idk maybe email the owners of the physical edition a code? wasn't physical release a collectors edition

like a limited release?

[solemn elm]

you can still buy it

also how are they meant to be emailed a code?

you just buy it anywhere, you dont need to give your email to buy it

[static adder]

nm this was me thinking it was a limited release

still

oh wait there is a way.

[solemn elm]

its a special edition, not a collectors edition btw

[static adder]

Lilo

switch cartridges do have a way to track something

when gold points were a thing, you could get gold points once from a cartridge and thats it

you try any other system it won't give you gold points

[solemn elm]

that would be nintendo's problem to deal with

i doubt that developers have access to that information

[reef rivet]

it's possible for them to it, skyrim did it, hogwarts legacy did it, ea fc 26 did it, problably other game too

[plucky breach]

Current switch 2 versions of switch games work like a patch, so it doesn’t matter if you have digital or physical it’ll work just fine
The current Balatro switch 2 version is a separate executable so you can’t really do that

[reef rivet]

they had a separate version, not a switch 2 edition, yet, even for physical owner, it was free

[reef rivet]

is there a switch 2 physical edition ?

[static adder]

....why didn't localthunk do an upgrade path then

[plucky breach]

Backend issues

[static adder]

?

[plucky breach]

Or so we’ve been told

[static adder]

what do you mean?

[plucky breach]

Idk

[solemn elm]

nintendo is secretive about a lot, localthunk has said he isnt allowed to talk about the switch port much same with SmithBodie
"I am not allowed to answer that I'm afraid! all I know is that it's back end production stuff" - SmithBodie
"I actually can’t discuss much about the Switch port. For Nintendo reasons" - localthunk

[static adder]

I get that its nintendo things

but I think like its deflecting a bit

This is incredibly fucking shitty for consumers
