you made a very good game thank you for making Balatro 😄

[mental tulip]

thanks for playing!

glad you are enjoying it

[potent tree]

we're approaching 2 years soon...hot damn

[cyan sparrow]

😄

[mental tulip]

true

that was a wild day

[oak elbow]

Should’ve been game of the year

Balatro is perfect but I get horrendous luck

[tacit quail]

i bet the update won't happen until i'm on 149/150

i can see it in my mind

[delicate tide]

Woah

[tacit quail]

i MIGHT be the worst to ever do it

[stiff robin]

lmao we've all been there

[tacit quail]

5x reserved parking

i had to play the pair

[stiff robin]

has everyone unlocked all the decks ?

and yeah thats fair

gonna try to beat it with black deck wish me luck lol

[tacit quail]

my todd is so odd rn

my todd is SO odd rn

[shell oxide]

in a bit of a pickle right now and need some advice. i was going for a baron mime run but around ante 6 before i had the baron i fat fingered and sold my mime instead of something else by accident, well trying to recover i ended up getting a soul card perkeo and i already had telescope, my jokers are currently: perkeo, baron, blueprint, blueprint, brainstorm. but i need to scale faster. i have 15 double tags right now and i dont know if i should spend them on the negative skip i have next round, wait and try and get a spectral skip for ecto, or wait and try and get a voucher skip

[teal thunder]

mm banana

[potent tree]

you know in the future you can just exit to main menu and it won't disappear

[potent tree]

mega? or jumbo

[teal thunder]

i can only take one 😔

[potent tree]

very sad.

at least there's a non rental

[shell oxide]

wanted to show what skips i had

i think i’m gonna hold out for an ecto

[teal thunder]

nvm this run is goated again

i got chicot

[heavy hare]

[heavy hare]

depends

early game with a good joker yes

with externals yes (can't destroy externals)

[serene forge]

smartest photochad user

[lament bronze]

Never level up four of a kind to level 21, worst mistake of my life

[fervent wolf]

Do I take or nah

My first Balatro run done in a hot tub and this is how it goes

Lol

[potent tree]

you don't have the money. don't sell space jimbo

[fervent wolf]

Imma just click next round

[wintry lynx]

I fucking love you baseball card

[junior cave]

At long last!

[stiff thistle]

Time for C+… 👀

[junior cave]

I had been working my way through the stakes with Magic Deck and now currently Ghost Deck

C+ will depend how I feel about the other decks

I heard too many horror stories about Black Deck but I'm willing to try the rest

[potent tree]

right now plasma is my horror story

[junior cave]

Used to be more comfortable with the more vanilla decks but Magic has became a personal favorite since beating Gold Stake on it

[junior cave]

If you want to know my C+ progress, I got red, blue, yellow and Magic Gold Stake cleared

[stiff thistle]

🔥

[junior cave]

Plasma I heard is very rough having a roadmap on scoring

At first you want chips but knowing when to pivot for xmult is not easy

[lavish gazelle]

-39, Five Nights With 39

[potent tree]

better change your username

[fervent wolf]

How's this look

[potent tree]

noice.

[lyric wave]

what was the last joker?

[fervent wolf]

Erosion

[lyric wave]

dam

nice

grats on c++

[stark karma]

Thunk, I’m making a joker for my mod called wild banana and the art was going to be eerily similar to this

[fervent wolf]

Btw this seed has 3 nat negatives

So that was cool

[stark karma]

That looks like a plantain perhaps?

Very very exciting

[fervent wolf]

But yeah tysm here was the win which got me it

Got both hand vouchers which helped me a lot

[scarlet oyster]

can someone explain what the bean bug is

[fervent wolf]

If Crimson disables Bean it will give a permanent hand size increase upon saving and reentering

[lyric wave]

so essentially if your bean gets debuffed cause of crimson heart, you get out of the run and back in, you permanently get the hand size

[scarlet oyster]

hmm who to trust

[fervent wolf]

They're both the same

[scarlet oyster]

i was just making a joke

[lyric wave]

no we said different things

[scarlet oyster]

but thanks

[fervent wolf]

Trust me actually

I have c++

[scarlet oyster]

im not sure

[fervent wolf]

And I'm the best joker

[scarlet oyster]

i dont really like baseball joker..

[lyric wave]

but on the flip side you're baseball card

[scarlet oyster]

but checkered deck though

[fervent wolf]

@lunar zealot

[lyric wave]

I'm a bloodstone fan. clearly better at the game

[potent tree]

i've been trying gold stake plasma for 3 hours today already??

[scarlet oyster]

oh no

[fervent wolf]

DEFEND ME, THE SLANDER IS CRAZY

[lunar zealot]

Baseball card is a very good joker

One of the best in the game

[scarlet oyster]

i respectfully disagree

i think it is pretty boring runs

[lyric wave]

only because it benefits off of bloodstone

[lunar zealot]

I respect your opinion but i will note that your opinion is bad

nevertheless i can see your point

[scarlet oyster]

i just think its a pretty boring joker

[lunar zealot]

then again bbc can be quite fun too

[scarlet oyster]

@autumn parcel for sure agrees

[lyric wave]

bloodstone's the ONLY relevant uncommon in the whole game besides maybe oops, so it's the only thing you should use with baseball card therefore baseball card relies on bloodstone

[fervent wolf]

I am fun, best joker

[autumn parcel]

Ok what’s happening

[scarlet oyster]

baseball and boring

is*

[fervent wolf]

What about......seance......

[autumn parcel]

How is baseball boring

[lunar zealot]

Baseball is fine

[faint linden]

Orange Stake tips for your deck? I only beat Purple because of Canio

[scarlet oyster]

runs are very repetitive

[autumn parcel]

What

I mean it’s your opinion ig

[lyric wave]

so for checkered deck, you're a lot safer to just not have jokers in the early game (ante 1, don't go into ante 2 small blind with no jokers) to save money

having good econ is key to winning in balatro

[scarlet oyster]

guys

everyone should say their balatro hottakes

1 by 1

[lunar zealot]

Yorick is poorly designed and should be reworked if not removed entirely

[autumn parcel]

I don’t like trading card on blue stake and above

[lyric wave]

it's very obvious and bad bait

[faint linden]

Get Investment Tag if Ante 1 Small Blind?

[lyric wave]

yeh

[autumn parcel]

That’s what I thought lol

[lyric wave]

investment tag is always a take ante 1

[lunar zealot]

you say hot take and i give a fuckin hot take

[autumn parcel]

I just don’t get why people take trading card in gold stake

[lunar zealot]

for money and deckfixing

[lyric wave]

it's crazy good deckfixing if you can handle -1 discard in the midgame

also the money is cool

[scarlet oyster]

1 discard is worth money and deck fixing

[autumn parcel]

A lot of times you need to discard for something

[lunar zealot]

like what

[scarlet oyster]

you just have to play safer abbit

[lunar zealot]

pairs?

blue and purple seals?

which you can draw easier with a smaller deck?

gold cards?

[autumn parcel]

Not every single gold stake run is a pair run

[lunar zealot]

which you can draw easier with a smaller deck?

[scarlet oyster]

pair runs are mad boring

[faint linden]

Jupiter needs a buff

[lunar zealot]

straights?

[autumn parcel]

Hell no

[lunar zealot]

which you can draw easier with a smaller deck?

[autumn parcel]

What

[lunar zealot]

xoak?

[scarlet oyster]

absolutely

[lyric wave]

what are you discarding if you have a deck size of thirty

[lunar zealot]

which you can draw easier with a smaller deck?

[autumn parcel]

I just don’t like trading card it’s just opinion

[lyric wave]

imo it's balanced by just how easy flushes are to get

[scarlet oyster]

its a opinon based btw

[autumn parcel]

I may change my opinion later on

[faint linden]

They asked for hot takes

[lyric wave]

like flushes are on the same level as pairs to get on checkered, and three of a kind outside of checkered

[scarlet oyster]

guys im gonna say my hot take now

[autumn parcel]

Bouta be a cold take

[scarlet oyster]

if youre on ante 2 or below, eternal riff raff is basically always a take

[faint linden]

You're sexually attracted to Jimbo?

[autumn parcel]

That’s ball

[lunar zealot]

depends but usually i would say yea

[faint linden]

Damn it. Beat me to the typing

[lunar zealot]

Except on painted

[autumn parcel]

Riff raff is in my top 10

[scarlet oyster]

you can just get a lot of good jokers from it

[autumn parcel]

Since it allows you to get great jokers that’s guaranteed to not have a sticker like rental or something on it

And a lot of commons are amazing

[lyric wave]

one time I got photochad after one turn of riff raff

[scarlet oyster]

best common joker is rebate

[lyric wave]

100%

[autumn parcel]

You could say that

[lyric wave]

rebate needs a nerf

[faint linden]

So if I get that, it won't give me a Perishable at all?

[autumn parcel]

No

[lyric wave]

it'll never give it any stickers (no rental, no perishable, no eternal)

[autumn parcel]

That’s why riff raff is amazing

[lyric wave]

it'd really suck for riff raff to give you eternal foil jimbo

[autumn parcel]

Yeah

I love when it gives me negatives

[scarlet oyster]

if riff raff could give stickers it would be so bad

[autumn parcel]

Yeah

[faint linden]

Perishables are the bane of my existence

[scarlet oyster]

cause you could just get a eternal jimbo

[lyric wave]

that's why rare/uncommon/negative skips suck so bad

[autumn parcel]

I had a run earlier where my first shop all had perishables

And they were great jokers

[lyric wave]

ripppp

[scarlet oyster]

am i the only one who doesnt really mind eternal

[autumn parcel]

Depends

[faint linden]

Good for Madness

[lyric wave]

well ok negative skips are just bad in general lolmao but y'know

[scarlet oyster]

if its at least a half decent joker its not bad

[autumn parcel]

If I get a joker that’s decent but not long term it’s annoying

But if it’s great I can ankh easier

[lyric wave]

eternal stencil + ankh goes incredibly hard

[autumn parcel]

I love stencil

[lyric wave]

only gotten that combo once, although it solo'd the run lol

[scarlet oyster]

anymore hot takes

[autumn parcel]

Uhhhh

[lyric wave]

down with clubs and diamonds

worst suits in the game

by far

[scarlet oyster]

no way

[autumn parcel]

You could say that

[faint linden]

Vagabond is actually great

[scarlet oyster]

spades and diamonds suck

[autumn parcel]

How do spades suck

[scarlet oyster]

take been freezin in the freezer

[lyric wave]

spades are my favorite suit

[scarlet oyster]

they look bad

hearts and clubs on top

[autumn parcel]

This guy

[lyric wave]

then use the slay the princess skins

[autumn parcel]

He’s not talking about design bro

[scarlet oyster]

and ima bloodstone glazer

[autumn parcel]

This is true

[lyric wave]

hell yeah

[scarlet oyster]

binding of issac skins

better

by

a million percent

[lyric wave]

which suit is that

[faint linden]

99+ missed calls from Polychrome Arrowhead

[scarlet oyster]

hearts

[lyric wave]

among us >

[autumn parcel]

I use critical role for hearts

[scarlet oyster]

can we all agree glass red seal is one of the best looking cards in the game

polychrome too

[autumn parcel]

I once got a poly red seal glass king in a standard

[faint linden]

One more hot take: Jimball should be in vanilla

[lyric wave]

red seal gold poly king

[autumn parcel]

I love jimball

[lyric wave]

sorry jimball is fucking crazy good ;-;

[autumn parcel]

You could nerf it

[faint linden]

Funkytown rights are for Localthunk to figure out

[autumn parcel]

Cause it is from cryptid to be fair

[lyric wave]

obelisk is really good, and jimball is just better than obelisk

[faint linden]

Make it the sixth Legendary

[lyric wave]

make wario the sixth legendary

[autumn parcel]

Wario is amazing

If you get wario in cryptid your Econ is just set

[faint linden]

Community gets nuked by Nintendo

[lyric wave]

lul

[autumn parcel]

Why did cryptid remove Mario and luigi?

[lyric wave]

what'd they even do? I forgor

[faint linden]

Free Luigi (not sure what he did)

[autumn parcel]

It said on the wiki I think

Let me check

[scarlet oyster]

im ngl

[lyric wave]

ah

they're in a different mod

;-;

[scarlet oyster]

obelisk is my least favorite joker by faw

far*

[lyric wave]

yeah I'm not a fan of obelisk

[scarlet oyster]

not saying its bad

[lyric wave]

I rarely take it despite how ungodly strong it is cause it's just not a fun play

[scarlet oyster]

just i dont like it

[faint linden]

Screw Obelisk

[lyric wave]

how close are yalls to c++ btw, if you've finished gold stake?

[acoustic kettle]

Far

[faint linden]

Erratic is still locked

[potent tree]

are you FUCKING kidding me

[faint linden]

At this rate, C+ looks easier than C

[lyric wave]

lmaoooooooooooooo rip

[potent tree]

i ankh and it hits stuntman

my kinda luck today.

[lyric wave]

which jokers are you missing?

[minor eagle]

I hate how cursed this run looks lmao

[potent tree]

i've spent 4 hours today alone on plasma gold stake

[lyric wave]

here's my stats btw

[acoustic kettle]

Fluh

[minor eagle]

Why, just why.

[faint linden]

I'm missing like 11 including Hit the Road, Shoot the Moon, and Satellite

[potent tree]

i must do all decks in order. after this i just have erratic left

[faint linden]

10

[potent tree]

i am not doing that seed

[lyric wave]

note that you don't have to win the run with x joker, you just have to buy it or have it at some point in the game

[minor eagle]

Oh, lmao. I thought u were looking for a specific run or smthn. I'm trying to do that rn, but can't even do red deck on green stake 🤬

[faint linden]

I know

[lyric wave]

try a different deck, you might do better with a different one (I migrated to checkered after a bit lel)

[faint linden]

How cursed would C+ without C be on a scale of 1 to 10?

[lyric wave]

10

esp because I'm doing c++ before c+, lol

[potent tree]

i dunno but i'm gonna do it

my last voucher is tarot tycoon

[lyric wave]

has illusion but not tarot tycoon

[acoustic kettle]

Like 3

[urban laurel]

I got excited until I remembered what deck I'm on

[fringe crest]

took me 80 souls to find trib

[lyric wave]

play gold stake, then

[fringe crest]

i wasnt good enough then

[faint linden]

Missing Yorick and Chicot as well

[fringe crest]

[mental tulip]

[fringe crest]

buff yorick

[urban laurel]

Informative

[lyric wave]

nerf blue stake instead of buffing yorick imo

[fringe crest]

who doesnt like yorick

[acoustic kettle]

???

[lyric wave]

yorick's very very good on white stake

[fervent wolf]

Thunk are you proud, I just got c++

[mental tulip]

buff yorick is a wild suggestion

[wintry ice]

yorick is already broken above blue stake

[fringe crest]

plsplspls

i love yorick

[potent tree]

three and twenty years before he buffs yorick

[wintry ice]

it turns you into luigi

[acoustic kettle]

23 xmult per 23 cards discarded

[mental tulip]

if anything nerf yorick

[lyric wave]

blue stake's being nerfed in the update, right?

[fringe crest]

PLEASE NO

[mental tulip]

blue stake is different

[acoustic kettle]

[fringe crest]

anything but that

wait

blue stake nerf confirmed?

[mental tulip]

like a year ago lol

[faint linden]

Is it fine if I play on my gf's account since she has Game Pass?

[fringe crest]

no way

[potent tree]

he said different. doesn't mean it's a nerf necessarily

[faint linden]

She's allowing it

[mental tulip]

I don't know if it's a nerf

[fringe crest]

dm me it

[mental tulip]

it's different

[lyric wave]

interested to see how that turns out

[fringe crest]

totally

[wooden plaza]

Thunk did you tease a new joker? Coming from a reddit post

[marsh apex]

🍌🍌🍌🍌

[fervent wolf]

Nah, buy the game yourself frfr

[acoustic kettle]

Pinned effect like on the knife's edge?

[faint linden]

Looking for job

[amber forge]

I thought it was just different art for the banana, not a new joker

[fervent wolf]

It is 7 dollars.....or 10 on mobile

[lyric wave]

that'd actually be a really cool stake idea

[wintry ice]

could i get a link to the teaser

[fringe crest]

buff lusty

[faint linden]

15 on Xbox

[wooden plaza]

Oh let’s go!

[tawdry folio]

Will the new update make it any harder to get C++?

[lyric wave]

the early game suit jokers are just meant to be that; early game jokers to start up the run

[fringe crest]

i think hes gone

[fervent wolf]

Thats still not much for one of the best games to ever exist

[fringe crest]

the one time i talk here he shows up

[delicate tide]

Technically cause like new jokers so more jokers to gold sticker

[fringe crest]

no way

[delicate tide]

But not really

[waxen quartz]

I'll stick with make matador something different than $28 on 1/3 of the bosses and useless on the others

[mental tulip]

I'm still here wym

[lyric wave]

hi still here wym

[mental tulip]

this is my house

[lyric wave]

I'm sheep liver!

Hi sheep liver, I'm baseball card

[faint linden]

Ultra Cavendish: Cube mult and 1 in a million chance to break

[fringe crest]

localthunk any tips for learning coding

ive been trying to learn java rn

[lyric wave]

only obtainable if your cavendish breaks

[faint linden]

Yep

[wintry ice]

w3schools

[lunar zealot]

Is it a full house

[mental tulip]

you can't learn to code in a discord video game server

[lyric wave]

we gotta have cavendish bananas go extinct irl so we can know what the next banana is called in balatro

[fervent wolf]

It's a 4oak

[fringe crest]

oh are you going to patch the glitched seeds?

pls no

they are so fun

[lunar zealot]

That is not possible

[faint linden]

I picked up the C++ language from books at my local library

[lyric wave]

how

[marsh apex]

New banana will be called Flhorban 920

[fervent wolf]

Where will I get my hashbrowns from then?

[fringe crest]

it looks like hologram

[mental tulip]

[lyric wave]

Yes, please

[delicate tide]

Yes

[fervent wolf]

Ahem 🍌

[delicate tide]

Top 10 sells

[fringe crest]

is there gonna be any new changes to soundtrack

[lyric wave]

honestly based

[faint linden]

That's it. We're debuffing rares here

[opaque vale]

is it a plantain, localthunk??

[lyric wave]

how do you improve upon perfection

[fervent wolf]

Plant don't scare me

[acoustic kettle]

Sell all bbcs from niw on

Got it

[opaque vale]

it’s definitely a plantain

that’s the twist

[fringe crest]

go above and beyond

[amber forge]

Baseball card was never seen from again, many wonder what happened to them

[mental tulip]

Jk, so I went to my local botanical garden with my family and I took a bunch of pictures of banana leaves from the banana trees there

[plain briar]

goated start

[heavy heron]

OBSERVATORY FOR THE WINNN YEAAAAA

[mental tulip]

and I made a tesselated banana leaf pattern on the new banana card for the background from my 'ahem' research

[wintry ice]

is it a joker that creates cavendishes

[potent tree]

tesselation?? like the demo voucher???

[fringe crest]

showman

[opaque vale]

shout out botanical gardens, they’re amazing

[lyric wave]

yes it's riff raff

[heavy heron]

oh hey isn’t this that guy who made that one game we play

[acoustic kettle]

Creates mihelles

[mental tulip]

I think you might be cooked

[acoustic kettle]

[twin dragon]

add this thunk

[potent tree]

blame the wiki!

[marsh apex]

🍌🍌🍌I was here for banana lore drop 🍌🍌🍌

[lyric wave]

[amber forge]

Nice, are there any other jokers getting new backgrounds? (especially white background jokers)

[mental tulip]

what is wrong with the white background

[faint linden]

[heavy heron]

not as good as a rainbow background!

[mental tulip]

it's more like a real joker card

[heavy heron]

🌈

[amber forge]

For some it's fine, but others like Acrobat seem a little plain

[heavy heron]

are we talking about cavendish or michel

[faint linden]

That would make everything look Polychrome

[opaque vale]

thunk, question for you: was gary “jimbo” mccready heartbroken when Tyrese got injured in game 7?

[heavy heron]

oh…. yea that’s true….

[acoustic kettle]

Will pairs be even better than ever

[heavy heron]

how about all the backgrounds are holographic instead then?

oh wait…….

[lyric wave]

new nanner

[wintry ice]

the gay agenda

[heavy heron]

NEW BANANA?

[lyric wave]

yessssssssss

[heavy heron]

what does it do

[amber forge]

I guess now that I'm thinking about it, Acrobat is the only one that comes to mind where a white background seems plain

[lyric wave]

no clue

[faint linden]

I'm all for it if we get x1.5 mult

[lyric wave]

but we do get a new banana

[heavy heron]

3 banana jokers

wow

[acoustic kettle]

+300 chips

[heavy heron]

i think the dev really likes bananas!

[fringe crest]

is the wild card buff going to be just being able to apply it to 2 cards instead

[heavy heron]

+50 chips, 1 in 6 to die

and when it dies

[faint linden]

He's gone. I was going to ask if Cavendish had to break

[heavy heron]

+100000 chips!!

[acoustic kettle]

I don't think so

[wintry ice]

no

[amber forge]

Oh yea I forgot about the wild card changes

[fringe crest]

what is ittt

[heavy heron]

well that’d be a good buff..

[fringe crest]

i love wild card

[wintry ice]

he said that making it 2 cards isn't gonna be necessary with what he has planned

[heavy heron]

and it’d be nice if wild cards didn’t get debuffed by the bosses

[lyric wave]

he's just lurking and also probably will not tell us a whole lot about the actual mechanics

[fervent wolf]

Months ago, my first ever gold stake win

[wintry ice]

also having more of them wouldn't solve the issue that it's a nothing enhancement

[heavy heron]

pov my wild card that can imitate any suit decides to imitate the one that is debuffed by the boss

[acoustic kettle]

It always gets debuffed

[heavy heron]

i know

which is what i mean

[acoustic kettle]

[heavy heron]

like my wild heart gets debuffed by the goad…

[lyric wave]

did you rip an ecto or was that baseball card nat negative

[faint linden]

That's the joke

[tawdry folio]

I wish wild card just applied to the suits and was not considered an enhancement. I feel like should be separate from enhancements

[distant scarab]

dear mr thunk,
why do you give me trib blueprint and sock then plant me one ante later... i cant take it no more

[fervent wolf]

Ecto all the way

[heavy heron]

even though wild cards “can be used as any suit” straight from the definition

[fringe crest]

i think he left this time

[pale sluice]

i cant believe they made bananas a real thing

[mental tulip]

you know why

[fringe crest]

everytime

[wintry ice]

litmus test

[distant scarab]

😭

[heavy heron]

i looked up what that is and it says it’s a test for acidity or alkalinity

[fervent wolf]

Mr Thunk, why do you keep giving me so many nat negatives. Am I perhaps your favorite?

[fringe crest]

mr thunk can you nerf bl**dstone

[heavy heron]

no sorry he already has a favorite

(it’s probably not me)

me!!

[fringe crest]

no

its me

[lyric wave]

bloodstone's already pretty underpowered without dice

[fringe crest]

totally

[heavy heron]

no it’s me

[fringe crest]

no

[acoustic kettle]

[pale sluice]

legend says rng is calculated by the various bees that are pushed into every copy of balatro for the 3DS

[wintry ice]

can we revert obelisk to the demo version

[heavy heron]

what was it

[wintry ice]

surely this wouldn't break the game

[lyric wave]

what'd it do in the demo

[amber forge]

RNBees

[fringe crest]

[heavy heron]

you want obelisk to be 0.5x but are fine with throwback being 0.25x

[wintry ice]

throwback shoukd be 0.1

[fringe crest]

throwback is so mid

[heavy heron]

see you get me

[acoustic kettle]

Throwback to .5 wouldn't even make it good

[lyric wave]

yeah throwback overpowered

[stray kettle]

Mr thunk, thank you for changing my life

[fringe crest]

ohhhhh

[wintry ice]

[faint linden]

Honestly thinking of getting "BALATRO" as a custom license plate

[heavy heron]

[fringe crest]

ima get balatro plastered all over my first vehicle

[wintry ice]

can we remove nebula's downside

[opaque vale]

will never forget when I first bought the game and I let the dishes pile up.

my gf told me to do the dishes, but I said “I’ve had no time!” she then told me to pull up my iPhone screen time and show her how much I’ve played Balatro

[mental tulip]

no

[heavy heron]

ppl will look at that license plate and be like “wow! what’s balatro?! lemme check the app store for it!”

easy advertisement

[fervent wolf]

Making my license place c++ when I get one

[lyric wave]

mm yes time to search up the guy who passed me's license plate on steam

[mental tulip]

horse me more and I'll make nebula have 0 slots instead of 1

[fringe crest]

[trim anchor]

[potent tree]

@serene forge horse

[heavy heron]

[fervent wolf]

[exotic orchid]

I am making a balatro themed linux mint.

[fervent wolf]

Would be fun

[heavy heron]

pov my nebula run had 0 planet pakcs

[lyric wave]

nebula hater here time to sabotage

[faint linden]

DM me the ISO

[heavy heron]

0 slots is funny

you use an emperor game just explodes

[opaque vale]

first we lose out on banana lore bc of you, then we miss out on consumables in nebula??

[mental tulip]

wait until you learn about what I did to flushes in 1.1

I removed them

[lyric wave]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[heavy heron]

NO

NOOOOOOO

PLEASE

[fervent wolf]

YAY FINALLYYYY

[stray kettle]

[exotic orchid]

Idk how to do that. I just ditched windows few days ago lol.

[fervent wolf]

Ty Mr. Thunk

[mental tulip]

the only hand is 3 of a kind now

sorry

[heavy heron]

MY FLUSHES.. they're bleeding.. they're dying..

[fervent wolf]

I play 3oak anyways lol

[paper juniper]

[lyric wave]

[amber forge]

I always hated having to make choices, this helps a lot 👍

[trim anchor]

funni

[stray kettle]

Mr. thunk what are your thoughts in pirating?

[mental tulip]

too uniform

too flushy

[paper juniper]

Fair enough, carry on.

[stark karma]

Add a pear joker which eats your pairs 😋 😋 😋

[pearl sapphire]

real

[fervent wolf]

As long as Thunk keeps me as a joker, I will be content

[heavy heron]

thunk pls don't touch them..

[fringe crest]

buff baseball

[mental tulip]

oh god

[heavy heron]

i like hygiene

i flush a lot

what can i say

[pearl sapphire]

11888 is crazy

[wintry ice]

uhm thunkinator can we remove 10 uncommons

[pale sluice]

you gotta stop wasting so much water nurturyy

[heavy heron]

sorry..

[wintry ice]

oh wait that would chsnge nothing about baseball

[stark karma]

Checkered deck main

[mental tulip]

balatro was a mistake

[heavy heron]

you can imagine how much i flush on the water

[fringe crest]

you ruined my mental health

[heavy heron]

no actually

[trim anchor]

did any of yall finish checkered deck without playing a flush

[heavy heron]

i hate checkered

LOOLLL

i never play it

[acoustic kettle]

Make bbc an uncommon so i can do 5 bbc build

[lyric wave]

heresy

[heavy heron]

sorry..

you see i like when flushes actually propose a challenge

[lyric wave]

horsey

[pearl sapphire]

i mean on one hand my productivity 📉
but on the other hand, my gambling knowledge 📈

[heavy heron]

honestly though

[fervent wolf]

Same here

[faint linden]

So were Post-its and penicillin. Mistakes can be good. In this case, the best game ever.

[fringe crest]

ima get into poker because of balatro

[amber forge]

Hopefully 1.1 adds a seasonal battle pass

[heavy heron]

i think i've understood a lot about a deck of cards ever since i played balatro

[stark karma]

Talking like Hayao Miyazaki

[pale sluice]

should’ve removed the jokers and added jeremy smh it would’ve sold 2 balatrillion copies

[heavy heron]

like in theory cards are a basic concept but i feel like i understand them a lot better

ever since i played balatro

[pearl sapphire]

exactly

[acoustic kettle]

New decks are paid dlc

[heavy heron]

like when i go gambling now, i'll aim for 5oak

[lyric wave]

we should name naneinf balatrillion in an actual math field

[heavy heron]

and a flush five

that's what i learned!

[stark karma]

Now you are become Balatro, destroyer of productivity

[fringe crest]

yes add in game transactions

[mental tulip]

oh yeah how do you feel about 1.1 being paid DLC, 59.99?

[pearl sapphire]

battle pass

[mental tulip]

for a season pass of course

[heavy heron]

jesus chueys

[amber forge]

I want to watch a daily ad for +1 Gem

[pale sluice]

1 balillion go put that into googology wiki now

[heavy heron]

isn't balatro like 5 bucks

[pearl sapphire]

nah, make clicking play cost $4 real money

[low lintel]

Does it come with a Battle Pass or do I have to purchase that separately?

[potent tree]

no amount is too much for me

[heavy heron]

making the DLC 12x the price of the game is crazy

[timid marsh]

the only season pass actually worth that amount

[trim anchor]

dude I think thunk just made the entire balatro community hangry

[lyric wave]

I'd still buy it

[fervent wolf]

I already dropped 65 on this soooo

[fringe crest]

john balatro are you gonna make another mod form anytime soon

[faint linden]

Go into an Old West saloon, play a Flush House, and get shot 🗣️

[mental tulip]

59.99 and a 30 dollar pass

[fervent wolf]

What's 60 more down the drain for Balala

[stark karma]

I cannot imagine a crazier torture than having to work on this game while also having to play this game to work on it

[heavy heron]

what's the-

what would the pass be

[pearl sapphire]

depends on how long the season is

[mental tulip]

it fucking rocks

[thorn dust]

mr. thunk can you please make black deck have -2 hands per round instead of -1. i heard from the community that black deck is too easy for gold stake wins so can you make it a bit more difficult so C+ feels fun to achieve. i think thiswill adress the problem of +1 joker slot being too OP. please do it it would make my day a bit better

[pale sluice]

rerolls now cost diamonds which you can buy with real money 😍

[low lintel]

Does the pass at least come with new card skins for level 100? :(

[stark karma]

I bet it does so much man

[lyric wave]

bloodstone spotted layer 6 column 1

[fervent wolf]

Agreed

[mental tulip]

I have the best job on the planet it's so sick I'm so lucky

it's the best

[pale sluice]

no but it comes with VC lobbies with 0 moderation

[fervent wolf]

Immediate termination

[stark karma]

I’m so fucking jealous

[heavy heron]

you get to make balatro AND play it

[mental tulip]

I'm having a blast making 1.1 lately too

[heavy heron]

what more could you ask for

[fringe crest]

localthunk please become money hungry i want you to take my money

[stark karma]

Smug bastard

[fringe crest]

make more balatro merch

[amber forge]

Is it going to have a name, or just 1.1?

[heavy heron]

1.1 is a good name

i like 1.1

[wintry ice]

the 9 in my deck when i use the magician:

[fringe crest]

balatro two

[stark karma]

It’s Balatro

[opaque vale]

thunk I want you to know you’ve created the greatest video game of all time. I never thought I’d find a game better than Tetris, but I did — and you made it

[fringe crest]

balatro in space

[trim anchor]

yeah make a Balatro themed theme park

[mental tulip]

I have a feeling you're going to tell my why you think 1.1 is stupid as a name

just go ahead

[fringe crest]

balatro: return of jimbo

[mental tulip]

but no it's just 1.1

[lyric wave]

because that's how much constellation gains per tick, and I HATE constellation

[fervent wolf]

Balatro: the final hand

[pearl sapphire]

yeah you should make it 26.1

[fringe crest]

pls be return of jimbo

[trim anchor]

name it like a minecraft update name

[pearl sapphire]

like minecraft and apple for some reason

[heavy heron]

i wouldn't be surprised if you changed the main screen title from balatro to just 1.1

it's a good name

[wintry ice]

or

[stark karma]

It doesn’t have Bal or A or Tro in the title

[opaque vale]

balatwo

[amber forge]

Ok, was just curious since other updates were "Friends of Jimbo"

[mental tulip]

John 1.1

[pale sluice]

Balatro 2 releases June 2015

[heavy heron]

yesss

[fringe crest]

localthunk where should i get food

[low lintel]

Balatro: The River

[faint linden]

I would buy a Jimbo plush as a debugging buddy

[low lintel]

Terraria final update moment.

[acoustic kettle]

Is the 1.1 update gonna be balatro 2

[mental tulip]

that was just marketing

[heavy heron]

get some chinese food

[mental tulip]

like the game version wasn't friends of jimbo

[fervent wolf]

You have popcorn, cola, and ice-cream in game. You even got beans

[faint linden]

And bananas

[fringe crest]

youre right

[acoustic kettle]

One singular bean

[fervent wolf]

And bananas

[pearl sapphire]

next version: 27.1 (gotta be ahead of apple and minecraft)

[fervent wolf]

And even ramen

Like

[heavy heron]

and rocks

[thorn dust]

who is horse reacting every message that localthunk is typing LOL

[lyric wave]

also bloodstone looks like a jelly filled donut

[stark karma]

You even have baseball card 🤤🤤🤤 I’d eat him any day

[fringe crest]

i hate bl**dstone

[lyric wave]

@fringe crest

[heavy heron]

i think it's because localthunk said "keep horsing around and i'll change nebula to 0 inventory slots"

[fervent wolf]

Thunk is so kind, providing us with food for our gaming

[heavy heron]

so now there's just horses everywhere

[wintry ice]

girl wants to be fork so bad

[stark karma]

Cuz he’s the goat

[fervent wolf]

We don't have to leave the game to eat or drink ever again!

[fervent wolf]

WHAT

Not me!

[pale sluice]

Balatro will be adding ai face age verification and you cant play the game until you give them your passport drivers license and DNA sample

[fervent wolf]

NEVER me

[fringe crest]

roblox

[heavy heron]

HA! that joke has me

hoarse

[opaque vale]

Balatro 1.1 powered by Palantir

[heavy heron]

...

[pearl sapphire]

removing all gambling elements if you're under 18

[amber forge]

It's the only way to comply with the 18+ age verification

[pearl sapphire]

don't worry, all that's limited is you can't click play

[fringe crest]

i need to have more caffine

im past twice my daily limit

[low lintel]

So does it just become an idle game then?

[pale sluice]

oh yeah and poker is too mature so all cards are removed

[stark karma]

Banter aside, it seems like this update will have a decent ammount of jokers

[mental tulip]

at least 2

[stark karma]

If Thunk is willing to show some

[pearl sapphire]

it becomes a raid shadow legends ripoff because loot boxes are more child appropriate than funny card game

[lyric wave]

bloodstone comes with a built-in oops all 6s in underage balatro

[mental tulip]

I have shown 1

[opaque vale]

will there be 3?

[fringe crest]

i feel like the card "shoot the moon" is too mature for a childrens game can we do something about this

[stark karma]

You wouldn’t show at least 50% of your jokers would you?

[mental tulip]

I would

[lyric wave]

shown 1 as in shown its stats, or shown the banana from earlier?

[fervent wolf]

I think Lusty Joker is as well

[pale sluice]

jimbo 2
gives 5 mult

banana peel
does nothing, sorry I was hungry

[thorn dust]

mr thunk will there be FOUR bananas ???

[heavy heron]

...you did?

[trim anchor]

maybe if you asked very nicely

[heavy heron]

can someone show me the new one he showed

[lyric wave]

banana

new banana

[low lintel]

Mr. LocalThunk sir. The people want to know. Are you implementing a 67 inspired Joker?

[stark karma]

And considering your lollipop post, it means we have a pretty good guess what those at least two jokers are

[mental tulip]

it's more like 0.2

[opaque vale]

may you please make 3? :3

[heavy heron]

oh wait like an icon?

[fringe crest]

localthunk im getting tired i cant horse react anymore

[fervent wolf]

Hopefully NOT

[low lintel]

If you can do walkie talkie 10-4 surely you can make a 67.

[fringe crest]

pls dont ban

[acoustic kettle]

No

[heavy heron]

ohhhhh hehehehe

[lyric wave]

he showed a cropped image of a new banana sprite earlier

[acoustic kettle]

Banned

[heavy heron]

banana...

[little pike]

balalo

[faint linden]

Play a 6 and a 9 of hearts for bonus mult

[low lintel]

We need the topical and zany references.

[stark karma]

Here it is for people unaware :0

[low lintel]

67 will be implemented.

[heavy heron]

NO

please god no

[opaque vale]

yes

[mental tulip]

Might be an orange

[opaque vale]

please

[lyric wave]

7-high straights already exist

[fervent wolf]

[stark karma]

Orange you glad to see me?

[heavy heron]

weird ahh looking orange

[low lintel]

BLOONS COLLABORATION ANNOUNCED!!!!!

[fervent wolf]

Go I'm berrie happy to see you, go play more two pears. I have bean waiting for you to to so

[wintry ice]

hey thunk didn't you show an image with a new text color

[pale sluice]

has any community made content / mods inspired you for 1.1?

[stark karma]

Or maybe a convergent evolution into cavendish?

[mental tulip]

no

[trim anchor]

no

[stark karma]

Another way to potentially spawn cavendish?

[lyric wave]

also that is a fancy ass background, banana legendary joker??

[stark karma]

It’s not that fancy compared to the others?

[faint linden]

Cube mult after Cavendish break would be interesting

[stark karma]

Just more jungly

[opaque vale]

any new legendaries planned for 1.1?

[stark karma]

It would not

[trim anchor]

someone search every type of banana ASAP

[lyric wave]

it's not more fancy than the others, but it gives a different vibe

[lyric wave]

cavendish

[wintry ice]

legendaries are going to stay based on actual jesters from real life or literature from what i know

[pale sluice]

the yellow one
and banana bread

[pearl sapphire]

all of the new jokers are just going to be banana variants

[lyric wave]

ah alr :p

[stark karma]

Someone suggested this as a joker

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flhorban_920

[little pike]

A plantain is a ‘nana

[trim anchor]

banana bread joker would go hard

[low lintel]

All Jokers will be food jokers until morale improves.

[little pike]

It’s peak…

[stark karma]

Something about thunk being more present in the community these last few days has made me quite suspicious about his progress on the update 👀

[mental tulip]

don't be

[stark karma]

I won’t

[little pike]

Content update tomorrow!!!! /j

[mental tulip]

it'll be a while yet

[stark karma]

He’s dropping it in 5 mins yall

[faint linden]

I know Triboulet was asked how he would like to die and had his sentence commuted to exile when the king laughed at his quip of wanting to die of old age

[wintry ice]

uj

[lyric wave]

I might get c++ before 1.1 happens

;-;

[opaque vale]

it’s ready when it’s ready?

[lyric wave]

race against the clock

[stark karma]

Of course lol

[pale sluice]

well be fine take your time Mr thunk

[stark karma]

We’re like hungry swarming piranhas hahahaha

[wintry ice]

he also slapped the king's ass

[trim anchor]

its silksong all over again

[little pike]

It’ll be peak no matter

[thorn dust]

sorry localthunk has had so much fun making balatro 1.1 he decided to make it a different game entirely. you will now wait 7 years hoping for future updates

[opaque vale]

thunk I’ll let you know when I c++, I’m 141/150 — when I complete it, you can drop 1.1

[low lintel]

Hopefully the dailies aren’t too time consuming for the 1.1 battlepass…

[pearl sapphire]

if localthunk doesn't know if update is ready or not, then it could be either ready or not and no one knows. and if the update is released when the update is ready, that means it could be either released or not right now.

[little pike]

Except Balatro is good!

[stark karma]

Balatrosong coming 2031

[lyric wave]

lmao

[urban laurel]

1.1 dropping same day as sea of sorrow

Balatro 2: Jimbo’s Revenge

[opaque vale]

50/50 chance — it’s ready or it’s not

[stark karma]

Whenever it comes I’m really excited for it

[jagged arrow]

Im out of the loop, is it an update or a dlc?

[wintry ice]

update

[stark karma]

Even 2 jokers makes me giddy

[little pike]

Update

[lyric wave]

1/6

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro 2

[wintry ice]

doubt thunk would want to make dlcs

[opaque vale]

Nope!

[mental tulip]

free update

[lyric wave]

never lucky

[jagged arrow]

cool, c++ bout to get harder

[trim anchor]

Balatro 3, return of the plant

[jagged arrow]

Should I just do it now before the update comes

[opaque vale]

I now have a soft spot for the Pacers because of Balatro

[stark karma]

Uncommon version of Chicot that only disables the plant for all the really annoying players hahahaha

[spiral phoenix]

yall like fetty wap

[opaque vale]

so thanks thunk

[low lintel]

A guy like you needs the extra challenge of 1.1.

[lyric wave]

do you know what rarity new banana's gonna be yet also? lul

[orchid onyx]

does anybody listen to fetty wap?

[thorn dust]

maybe a chip uncommon

[little pike]

Now we need a C+++ achievement for all the update content

[jagged arrow]

will the achievement update on the update? Like it'll be removed or something

[spiral phoenix]

must feel like the blueprint the way u copying me

[trim anchor]

we need chicot to save jimbo in the Balatro movie, featuring chris pratt as the cavadish

[lyric wave]

idt you can remove achievements on steam

[mental tulip]

I don't think I'm going to add any new completionist style achievements

[stark karma]

Betting on chip common myself

[orchid onyx]

does anybody listen to fetty wap?

[mental tulip]

so if there are new jokers then C++ will just be harder for new people

[little pike]

“It’sa me a Jimbo”

[mental tulip]

but that's fine with me

[orchid onyx]

fetty wap?

[mental tulip]

I'll 100% the game again with a new profile

[lyric wave]

have there been any unrelated achievements released?

[stark karma]

Will C++ or C+ reset? Hopefully not

[opaque vale]

the streets demand a Fetty Wap joker with a x1.738 mult

[pale sluice]

bro I’ve made more art in the past 2 weeks than I did the entire last summer break because of this darn poker game

[acoustic kettle]

Won't it be easier since there are more scoring options

[lyric wave]

no, there are more jokers

[mental tulip]

absolutely not

[opaque vale]

(It’s me, I am the streets)

[thorn dust]

i think there is enough good chip jokers in there uncommon could use more love but the game's already a 10 so whatever choice he chooses ill definitely fw it

[lyric wave]

oh that's terrifying

[jagged arrow]

will there be new legendaries?

[little pike]

So C++ will just be completed by getting golds on all base game jokers after the update?

[orchid onyx]

does ANYBODY listen to fetty wap?

[mental tulip]

I might add new achievements for like little stuff, but I don't think the game needs it

[jagged arrow]

i have terrible luck on getting legendaries

[mental tulip]

no

[trim anchor]

I listen to mario 2d bros desert music, no I dont listen to fetty wap but I will tonight

[mental tulip]

C++ will be the same achievement, read the desc

[acoustic kettle]

I don't agree

[low lintel]

The implication is that the achievement unlock is not changed for anyone that already has it, but new players will have to still get it on all Jokers.

[mental tulip]

that's fine

[little pike]

Ohhhhh

Gotcha

[low lintel]

New jokers means new runs having to get lucky to find it. The difficulty of c++ comes from finding everything, not winning.

[pearl sapphire]

we need to have old minecraft achievements like taking inventory and that kind of stuff:
"Card Selector" select a card
"Hand Player" play a hand
"Hand Discarder" discard a hand
etc.

[orchid onyx]

start with My Way (Feat. Monty)

[low lintel]

Not be a mansplainer here lmao

[acoustic kettle]

Well unless the new jokers are all bricks

[jaunty robin]

i just won in THE dumbest way possible

[acoustic kettle]

[stark karma]

Localthunk do you consider mods and custom joker ideas to be info hazards and actively avoid them?

[thorn dust]

will these new jokers unlock more potential synergies? 🤔

[opaque vale]

I think it’s safe to say: This will be FUN when it comes out!

[orchid onyx]

anybody else listen to fetty wap

[old phoenix]

are there gonna be new decks or nah?

[jaunty robin]

THIS should not have gotten through 8 antes

[mental tulip]

I mean I just don't read them or look at them

not my thing

[acoustic kettle]

?

Decent mults

Wait that's hologram even

[lyric wave]

negative hologram

[jaunty robin]

i was going for a stone card build but it kinda turned into a wtf game

[stark karma]

I’d do the same, a really good sounding idea would mess me up so bad

[little pike]

My first ever win was accidentally a stone card build

[thorn dust]

• white stake
• good enough flat mult joker
• good scaling joker
• hologram
• a somewhat ok xmult

this is definitely good enough to pass ante 8

[opaque vale]

once had a stone joker/medusa build — what a blessed run

[jaunty robin]

shoutout to the glass joker at x3.25 and the negative hologram at x5.25

[little pike]

I used to think chips were more important than mult when I started 😭

[acoustic kettle]

Glass being somewhat ok xmult is crazy

[stark karma]

Bigger number :P

[acoustic kettle]

😭

[lyric wave]

yeah you're definitely gonna win in that case???? ;-;

[jaunty robin]

and my hand size is five

[orchid onyx]

if you listen to fetty wap react to my message 💪

[little pike]

exactly my reasoning 💀

[stark karma]

Hahaha

[opaque vale]

y’all got any favorite underrated synergies?
