anyone know what mod add the oops all ones joker ?
i am grate artiste
i saw them in six hundred suits
they are really good
i can show you the crown suit if you want
they better not be in six hundred suits, i drew these for my mod (not the face cards tho im garb at those)
they are not
that was fast 😂
i am on stand by
i think i just need to make a joker and crown suit will be ready to go public
at this point i have so many things i need for my mod especially jokers....
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1234173095154286662 if you want to get the link when i will post it
next release of Thac gonna be in like two years with 2x as much content as vanilla
is there already a jalous joker ?
anyone ??
not that i know of
this looks great, i take it youre working on a tarot card mod? how many are you planning to add?
i think there's one for each of the seven deadly sins if you use base + six suits + notes
i'm making a suit mod so it will be the bare minimum for now (suit, joker that buff the suit, blind that debuff the suit and tarot that turns card into cards from that suit)
That actually combines with my own question which is if there's a collected list of mods
yea i would love a list of recommended mods
i think itd be cool if more mods added unlockable things
i have like 5 tarot in my mod
not me cooking up unlock support
WOOOO UNLOCKS
lol thats timing
so its not possible yet?
that explains it
(that's all I've done for this lmao)
it's possible but it sucks right now
tbh the only other thing i should need is check for unlock
Gonna add a Joker called Stonecutter with the effect of x10 mult if you have the Royal Sampler (3-5-10-J-K). Or maybe it should outright let you unlock a new type of hand for the rest of the run
why those values?
It's a reference to the Simpsons xD
Homer is the chosen one for the stonecutters society (freemasons parody) and keeps being allowed to win poker by his subordinates, with one claiming he has "the royal.. er.. sampler!"
also no more key checking or anything, we're just calling methods directly on centers now
thats like so niche tho
because nobody goes for those cards unless they have that joker
lol thats great
how hard is it to mod anyways
seems like fun
Hi, does anyone know how to uninstall Lovely Injector??
it literally doesnt let me launch godot
im not trying to do anything with balatro rn.
just trying to work and it wont let me open
dont put the dll in random folders
Godot is probably using the same DLL as Balatro
Where did you originally install Lovely’s version.DLL?
you likely put version.dll somewhere it doesn't belong
As far as I remember right in the Balatro files
ok nvm version.dll was on my desktop...
got rid of that bih now the project loads. thanks gang
This is one of the oddest errors I think I've ever seen
Dont Put version.dll Into Random Folders 🤦
Accidental DLL injection…
i may try localizing the sprites into japanese to give myself a break from programming
the balatro grind don't stop huh
i'll probably just use the names in the current translation even if some of them aren't perfect because i don't trust myself enough to come up with better ones with my level of knowledge lol
yea this hyperfixation shit gets serious
real
?
^
i'll also probably keep the playing cards and tarot cards (and the word "joker") the same since from what i can tell the western versions of those are most commonly used in japan
if its really technical or requires learning a new language then i probably wont but if its not then it seems interesting
it requires learning some lua but it's a lot easier since you can reference other existing mods
there's also a lot of things that have been made mostly simple with the APIs in steamodded (adding jokers, consumables, etc)
it also requires criminal activity
true
im kidding
how would i get started?
if you have steamodded set up just download one of the example mods and use that as a base
alright thanks
don't do that
steamodded example mods are the most outdated balatro mods that exist at all
mb
it's better to go off any existing mods that aren't steamodded example mods or JellyMod
pretty much anything else is fine
is there any way to disable mods without having to reuse steamodded by verifying game files
if you're using the injector method, you'd just have to uninstall the modloader and re-inject when you want to use it again
but why do that when lovely exists? #1217867725532041369
I should probably overhaul that eventually, considering I wrote some of those

well yeah I'll probably include example mods in my rewrite
The fact that Five of a Flush mod is still in there is tragic
using lovely, you just have to rename version.dll to play without mods
Could I also pls get this? 👀
everyone should use my mod as an example (dont it sucks and i suck and everything about the code is godawful and the most convoluted way to do anything ever
oh not on experimental i see
(my game is in french but it's the same description as my joker)
you can have it be (Card.set_perishable and 3) or 4
so it matches the game version you're on
I think im having a similar problem, can i ask how you fixed it?
drawing dakuten at this size is always so painful
how do i upload something on github ?
do you have an account?
yes
go to your repos and select new
i wonder if i should just make the blind chips say "small" and "big"
i feel like that'd make more sense
(minor body horror) What do you think of this? I'll probably add a gradient to the background once I figure out how to do gradients and masks on Aseprite.
i think it should make it
Maybe this is easier to see
i've done worse
I was asking less about the body horror and more about how the art looks
The warning was just a warning
maybe make the background less contrasting?
like make the teeth closer to the background color
or make the jar more opaque
theres a gradient tool in aseprite, click the bucket tool
what about masks
Reduced the opacity of the teeth
oh those are teeth
wdym by masks exactly?
i thought they were ||snapped off ends of femurs or similar|| made me think of undertale lol
masking layers i assume
A mask is an image layer that hides/makes visible part of an image
So... my mod is out, have fun with it https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1234173095154286662
At least it looks like bone ^^
not sure then, would have to ask lyman
Jar of Teeth
Earn $15 after each round
Permanently decreases by $1 per card played
It's a food Joker :)
yum teeth 😋
I also remembered to put the Tooth in the drawing just before sending it
my creations are haunting me
Clown salesmen living in cassinos are no base for a system of government
huh ? (don't understood)
oh
well in my mod i see a sort of complementarity : sword (creates crowns) = power = king (crowns) = french revolution = guillotine (blind added in the mod)
It's a reference to an old movie (I haven't watched but I know about it)
(by Monty Python)
nevermind, i found a very tedious solution
How about now?
Or maybe with a colorful background?
red is really nice
i like the colorful background but the top of the jar is now a little less visible
Maybe the rows of teeth could be aligned instead of alternating
I agree :<
could change the outline for it
How about now?
looks good yeah
my game randomly started crashing i don't know why
it's fabric design who made me crash
seems to be a conflict between that and x card
real
i already have too many blinds for me 😔
for me 50 isn't enough
never enough
gambling addiction
i'll probably do a final blind because there is not enough
with 50 blinds i only have 7 final blinds
hear me out
what if you had the ability to change decks mid game
me swapping between my own deck and the yellow deck for infinite $10
me when i erratic infinite loop to get the perfect deck
rainbow deck?
37 was too many for me so i added 8 more 
"Choose your own Deck"
Deck
which mod ?
oh ok so deck tag then?
i had sylvie's silliness and just added mystblinds
i already have both of them
lol deck packs
fr
me when i switch between plasma way too much and now the boss blinds are nan
i think you're reinventing vouchers
i really want to do deck switch mod myself since decks sound very basic
changing decks mid game sounds goofy and amazing
it does!
you can switch to black deck at like ante 7 and not get screwed
choice deck - pick a deck from 2 choices to start the run, at any point, you may permanently switch to the other deck
2 random decks sounds fun
tainted lazarus deck...
oh also paint oddities
cant forget those
red paint, blue paint, yellow paint, green paint, black paint, magic paint, nebula paint, ghost paint, abandoned paint, checkered paint, zodiac paint, painted paint, anaglyph paint, plasma paint, and erratic paint
perfect
and an api to let mods with new decks create their own paint
or, no, its automatic, much better
Yellow and anything else
erratic checkered...
yes that is a valid combination of two random decks
ah yes painted paint
yes
midas mask deck is inredible??
thought this was game-discussion for a second
glad this place is being used for modded game discussion
that's a very good use of it
yeah it is a good use
for the programming ers there's the other channel
midas deck is a free win
i dont think the mika decks are intended to be super balanced
nah it maybe would've been if i wasn't using an op modded deck though, other than that the modded stuff didn't really help me at all through the whole run
what is "T"?
hmm i have no idea why this error is happening
new run then ig
kinda sad but nothing i can do about it
Recursive table issue
The game sets anything that's an Object inside of a table "MANUA_REPLACE" when you restart a run
what does "restart" mean?
i probably didnt do that though
at least not the first time the error happened
image of the run
silver deck, ante 5
sorry if this is the wrong channel to post this in but can someone help translate this for me pls lmao usually i just delete whatever mod it says in the error message but it says like 5+ different ones
it happened when i was selling a joker
which joker?
i forget whose mod it was but it was a legendary one that was something like "doubles the base value of all owned jokers if possible"
i'm going to guess in that case it was not possible
try from the top down; the several entries likely just mean that multiple mods are hooking the same function, but its still most likely that the crash happened on the hook thats misbehaving
it's probably an error cascade from a single issue
lmaooo i mean it worked at first!! it just killed my game when i wanted to sell it
that description sounds like Dagonet from Mikas anyway
i suspect all the calls of the same method are related to each of the jokers you had
would it work if i just avoided that joker in the future or is that not the issue? sorry im not super familiar with some of these terms lol
Can someone help me with a steamodded issue I'm having?
you could either avoid Dagonet or directly disable him in the config for MikasMod
which iirc is just at the top of its .lua file
(.lua files are plaintext, meaning you can just straight up open them with any program that can handle a .txt file; if you dont have anything fancy for it, default notepad will do)
Recently, I had an unexplained crash here or there when using steamodded, then when I reloaded Balatro, it did not load steamodded version. I fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling, then reinjecting into steamodded injector. This fix has stopped working, and I'm now unable to successfully drag Balatro into steamodded injector. it gives an error that disappears too fast for me to read lol
attempt 2
ty so much for the explanation !! ill try that rn
idk if that sounded sarcastic but i promise it wasnt lmao
ez
well, i expected an explanation to be necessary; not to be rude but i get the vibe that you're not someone who's particularly familiar with programming or perhaps even computers as a whole, though unlike a lot of people you're approaching the topic with interest rather than frustration. am i correct?
that was rather long-winded and unnecessary, huh
woof
you are definitely correct, i'm v new to all of this stuff but am super interested especially seeing everyone's ideas and artwork and stuff and i appreciate the time and effort put in by everyone making them :) and im hoping that being in here helps also with me learning to fix some of the stuff on my own with explanations like yours!!
silver deck is awesome it just gave me philosophical joker
Verdant Leaf synergy
yeah its a good joker
we did it boys
we found a use for philosophical joker
but its good though it has lots of very practical uses
This is the error I get when trying to drag Balatro into steamodded injector exe file. Unsure why it's all of the sudden not working. Any ideas?
you're dragging the wrong balatro exe, find the right one in steam > balatro > settings gear > manage > browse local files
This seems hard to hold on to long-term
Just realized that lol. Surprised that hadn't happened before. Thanks for response!
Is this how my Balatro files are supposed to look like?
I'm having the following problem: no matter how I add or delete files from Balatro/Mods, my 'Mods' list doesn't seem to change. I've tried installing mods on both 1.0.0 and beta
had a fun deck idea
Delays the loss of money to the start of the next ante
lagging deck
I was doing a run with it and got the leftmost joker debuffed modded boss
we did it boys
the rest of the joke
would be pretty funny to buy everything ante 1 and then have like -$1000 ante 2
now you can buy a ton of stuff ante 1 and still have interest
also stealing the name
rerolls 10000 times
yeah pretty much
student loans basically
just buy a winning build ante 1 and never buy anything ever again
the loan deck
infinite planets works as well tbh
better yet with that joker that sets your money to 0 (i forget if its from mika's)
er
or wraith
joker that sets your money to 0 upon start of a boss blind
wraith would genuinely be awesome with lagging deck
true
free rare and you get to buy things again
devoted joker from jank jonklers
luckily this is an idea for the cryptid mod(the mod for unbalanced jokers/vouchers/boss blinds/etc)
so it fits perfectly
oh nice
you should see the other suggestions
in this very nice sheet for the mod
should i play it? ive been avoiding it since i prefer playing balanced things but i certainly am interested
(if you see Enemui that's me)
Help?
it's still in concept phase so we're still just accepting ideas
midas' deck is insane ngl
*when it comes out
k
ngl
unnamed really just sounds like free flush fives
and i love it
effarcire is so funny to me
DRAW YOUR ENTIRE DECK.
the point of the boss is just "give up one single joker and don't be stupid" lmao
aka old bell
very fun old balatro
old bell is probably like leftmost undebuffed joker though
keep a single useless joker and put it to the left
why is it doing this
i love how current acorn is one of the easiest final bosses
and old acorn is probably 2nd hardest
Hold R simulator
Erratic is like that but not as much
erratic creates goofiness
then people should simply just stop doing that
i can never settle for a raised fist or a banner im starting this game with triboulet and nothing is going to stop me
it's got this weird artifacting
i dont think silver can create legendaries but i could be wrong
i fish for about half an hour on old balatro playlists
it shouldnt because judgement is worded the same way and it doesnt
then i find random stuff
does anyone have a full list of all the old tags?
#1214967538585174077 is basically reviving those bosses so you can ask them
needing assistance
i thought you just had a slideshow on ngl
I can send them
no it's got this weird lag
i have 0 idea how that can happen so idk
if only there was a balatro source that details EVERYTHING new and old about balatro
ngl obsidian orb (cryptid mod concept) sounds like a really fun final boss
thank you
btw is there a mod that adds daily challenges? that was one of the main things i was looking forward to when it released
my name in the cryptid mod sheet is Enemui btw so any ideas you like might be mine who knows
the amount of hard counters holy shit
that's the reason why they were reworked
that is probably why
literal run enders
no and i don't think we should touch that code
alr ill make it a deck then
daily deck - start run with two random eternal jokers (please only play this a maximum of once per day)
easy
gimmicky decks pack?
"please only play this a maximum of once per day" are you gonna die if i play twice 😭
is that a pack of decks which are gimmicky or smth
idk maybe lol
man i wonder if the gimmicky decks pack is a pack of gimmicky decks
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1215786968433164328 yeah pretty much
curse deck is very funny
i should find it then
found it
how do i install it? i cant find the github link anywhere
just zip files
i cant find zip files either
delete each mod one by one and try again
the base 2 i need are lovely and steamodded right?
yeah
i don't know much about any of those other than oddityapi and enhanceapi which shouldn't be causing that
deleting them fixed it
oddityapi on its own may cause issues
if theres no oddities loaded
that issue, idk tho
misread that as oddity yap pi
what are good base mods to start with?
morefluff ig
what is the average ante in which the first flush house is played? 4?
heavily depends
idk how you'd define average ante for something like that
is ante 2 small blind flush house good then
i mean getting a flush house is easy
true
yes pretty good
getting a flush house consistently?
oh ok
another league
easiest way to flush house is checkered deck with a shop 1 death or strength
wait so if flush house is easy then why do so many people think straight flushes are hard?
that would allow you to play flush house on ante 1 round 2
cause straights are hard
because they are
they arent
you're overlapping a straight and a flush
yes straights are easy and flushes only require 1 consumable most of the time
alternatively you can have one of the utility jokers that make straights/flushes easier
full house (easy) + flush (easy) = medium
straight (medium) + flush (easy) = hard
straights are not harder than full houses
its cause you can't stack your deck to make straights more consistent
the hard part about straights is getting 5 cards in order
^
thats very easy to do
you can though
if you have a 25 card deck with only 5 copies of the 5 you need for a straight you can still brick the draw
as someone who prefers straights, it's not terrible when you go for face cards
but it is more difficult than full houses
AKQJ10 is a decently hard draw already, AKQJ10 with a single suit is entirely implausible in regular play
ok clearly people arent listening to me so im just going to leave and play more modded balatro instead
yeah, straight flushes are something you have to actively work towards if you roll straights imo
i don't get them that often even if preferring straights as a playstyle
you haven't really said much in detail
ok chat what modded deck should i run today
Codex 1.1 and More Fluff with HouseRules
sketched from ortalab if you have that on or lemon lime deck
lmao
what alchemicals does the codex start with now?
codex deck*
its still the same 2....
its the flush house deck
also my personal favorite
wild or wildin
bowling ball chicken scratch (to the tune of "we didnt start the fire")
uh
midas' deck + any suit changing cards is good enough ngl
thats actually so real
john egbert rose lalonde

how much do you have memorized
none
same. i almost remember 1 line from the slay the spire one but unfortunately i don't
is it possible to mod the game on mac or would I need to reinstall balatro and a mod loader using whisky GPTK and would that even work
whats your pfp now
miku
miku miku beaaaaaaaaam
i have no idea what that is lmao
walks into chatroom full of chronically online catgirls
"i have no idea what miku is"
hatsune miku the vocaloid, this art is of a version of her that appears in the mobile rhythm game "Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!" more commonly known as "project sekai"
i mean im chronically online and partially catgirl so like 3/4 there
thom yorke and miku collab when
i could see it
lyman you just reminded me of my annoying as fuck radiohead phase
i hope youre happy
whats a radiohead
idk i think its a topical ointment

whats a radio

thanks
weezer jumpscare
rivers cuomo legendary joker
fuck i want to make a really bad weezer joke for jankjonklers just to be extra annoying
maybe just make a pinkerton joker and call it a day (it cant be traced back to weezer)
raditude tarot
not raditude...
i've seen your homestuck jokers lyman
put the weezer joke in jankjonklers, surely it can't be worse than homestuck
i have to tastefully reference every autistic hyperfixation i had as a kid
no taste, only haste
chicken :)
chicken :)
bunco did a square joker i can get away with doing one too
Square Joker (Alt Art) lets gooo
neck chi :)
collect the squares to form a cube
square joker art being a word square with the word Joker in it lol
Please rate my new tarot by its overpoweredness:
(This includes ones like the Sin Jokers, the Hand Jokers, Joker, Scholar, and Gros Michel)
im cooked
i don't think you have enough money
holy shit
nice
typical run
WHAT A TELESCOPE DOES TO A WOAMN!!!
op
YIKES
i still dont have a blueprint or brianstorm 😭 PLEASE I WANT TO COOK MORE
might need to nerf Universum to X2 lol, it seems a bit too busted
yeah you think
rookie numbers
is this with the cryptid thing that removes interest cap
nope its with a roulette wheel
GAMBLING!!!!
yay cryptid mod is now "out"
(it has 2 jokers that have to be spawned via debug menu)
local has a secret debug menu that can spawn jokers and more
_RELEASE_MODE = true
there's a mod which enables debug menu and a mod that enhances the debug menu
noice
I also have debug menu enabled in the code
I mean it was also "out" a month ago
I added 1 more joker now 
lmao
then I kinda let it be on the backburner for a while
sounds like isaacmod
i think itll be a lot better for my sanity if i wait on isaacmod until smods 1.0 tho
dont wanna have to refactor a huge monolith of code
some of these ideas are wild lol
No idea why I'm getting error but mechanically square joker rework is FUNCTIONAL!
I'm currently working on a mod that has the goal to rework jokers, vouchers and a few consumables to be a lot more interesting. It's a pleasure to have square joker be the first, even if this isn't final :)
You need to return a local variable
The variable would be whatever field is being dynamically updated
I dunno how you have your code formatted but I presume it'll be either self.ability.extra or self.ability.extra.chips
So you can define multiple variables when you return local vars
and you would go by order of how you returned them
if it's just one the description will be #1#
if you had 2 local variables returned for a joker that has a 1 in 3 chance to do something,like the game's global probablity (for stuff like oops! all sixes!) and your own probability (defined in that order), you would write it out similar to #1# in #2# chance of blah, where 1 is the game's global probability, and 2 is your defined chance variable
I do use that, though I didn't know it goes past 1! Thanks for informing me :)
So if I have #1# I still need to return it right?
Might as well drop what took me 3 hours to do here
aye, if youre using joker api it should look something like this
function SMODS.Jokers.your_joker_here.loc_def(card)
return { card.ability.extra.x_mult }
end```
YAY IT WORKS
Thank you!
if you change the order, does it make the small one go 3 times?
i played modded rn, but i wanna go back to normal how do i disable steammodded again?
did you use lovely to install steamodded?
ah yes
you can pop the version.dll in an empty folder somewhere, do not put it in a folder that isn't empty or it'll be mildly annoying when you try to open exes from that folder
also good morning modding chat
gm :)
Gm gamers, what we conceptualizing?
Blackjack
we conceptualizing a healthy lifestyle including good habits (impossible)
This is a gambling rougelike
you're right.... maybe this concept is better suited for ortalab....
what we're really conceptualizing though is more tags to add with the tagAPI from codex arcanum
Nice joke
could maybe add way too many tags and bloat the pool then make a few overpowered ones that are now exceedingly rare
50+ tags and one of them spawns a legendary joker
Healthylifestyle Including Good Habits CARD
something based off keeping full interest, not skipping and/or not using any probabilities
for tags i think it'd be cool to have a bunch that spawn jokers based on specific categories, like "create a space themed joker" or "create 2 food jokers"
"create a +Mult joker" and the other ones
btw autumn you should include an oddity tag next update
i'll do that when tag api
like when its part of steamodded?
also since i have the background for the face cards i can do any texture as a bg for them now...
rn theres no tag api at all, integrated or not
afaik
codex?
oh i do still need to update.
Codex Arcanum!
ok fair but if its going to work differently in 1.0 and theres not going to be a release between that PR merging and 1.0 then i see little to gain from using it Right Now
yeah right
another 6 months now that you asked
now you have more to gain from using it Right Now!!!!
but Still Nobody Will Be Able To Use It
Thac 0.4 is basically going to be the SMODS 1.0 update
how big 0.4 winds up being depends entirely on how long SMODS 1.0 takes
6 months of thac content for next update...
are the new suits for thac?
yeah
what would compat between them even look like?
like, what does Thac bring to the table that makes sense as an alchemical?
jimbo jumpscare
SIX THOUSAND SUITS
Pure chaos and fun
fr fr
i have no idea
/j
like you can already run ThAC and Codex together i just dont know what would be the point of crossover content
temporary joker stamps maybe? idk
why is it thac and not tac
Btw what does thac stands for ?
TheAutumnCircus
we keep the Th for our fallen comrades...
I was thinking about what it mean since yesterday 😂
chat i am strange and incomprehensible
lesgo, actual card type / rarity badge overriding
Sick
I need to find ideas for my blind mod and i already have some
i should continue my trend of thac having everything except jokers and start making some blinds
make jokers. (jk)
what if i make one blind that counters all the minor arcana at the same time
makes them kinda risk/reward since they get bonus effects on flush
yeah
strictly better but much more likely to run into a blind that just says "stop having fun"
it's not like some vanilla blinds are totally unfair i'm not gonna say names
"you're having fun ? well f- you !"
real question is what is the Thing That Counters The Tarot
the blind name would be longer that your screen
oh no, why is this 4 up there in the corner 💀
found that don't know if it can be usefull
my search history be like "guillotine, sword, counter tarot card" i'm behaving like a f- knight
blind name: The Salt
(just a picture of the twitch salt emoji)
i can do the sprites if you want
The “text in top left” will remain a staple in Steamodded API
more goldens
what do you think ?
as i said, this one is MoreSpeeds
but you're right
not using alchemical symbols as blinds
i have another idea
not using minecraft textures as blinds
no no i'm not using the texture just the shape 😂
death
you're cooking, gj with the gold stakes
The name is temporary :)
What are your guy's thoughts on this rework? To powerful, around the middle, still useless.
unrealistic
Can you elaborate?
why would you lose debt
is that better ?
There are laws in some places in the world that after a certain number of years banks can't force you to pay, it's to prevent corruptions from putting you into permanent crippling debt
hm
From a gameplay standpoint what do you think? :)
thinking about it... would "Hands containing a Pair have 0 base chips and mult" be a decent Blind? less auto-shutdown than Pairs entirely not scoring like betablinds
you would need flat mult somewhere in your cards/jokers but you could score something
what do you think gnostic ?
i didnt consent to this
Getting good interest is a little harder, and it's not always easy to get the most out of the debt wipe, it's an interesting mid ground, much better from my play test and allows for some really silly shenanigans.
I'm short you're trading off apart of the long term for a massive short term boost, helps if you're currently struggling and you're confident that you can recover.
(Also rewards a style of spending not rewarded anywhere else in the game, and I think that's intentional... Oops)
just wanted to help a little my bad 😅
I like it :)
thx
what if a hand has no +mult
no jokers with +mult*
might call it The Horns
Does mods only work for the release branch, os can i mod experimental aswell?
you can mod experimental but modded jokers will not be able to be perishable
Thanks
I think no 3OAK is more forgiving
When I had this issue, it was because I didn’t define the UI element as a local variable, so it found its way to the global context
maybe just 0 base chips then, keep the mult
it's not even my issue 💀
A lot of the modding threads dont have a link to the mods, am i missing something? For example the Fusion mod.
discord moment tbh
you cannot go to the top of the thread after you've visited it once
I figured i could just hold down "Home" But there are still no link, nor pins in the threads.
i tried to ping a mod to pin it once but pinged the wrong one and ever since i've given up on that thread getting a pin
some threads do have pins though
i ping the same two mods for my general bullshit lol
i try not to ping the same one too many times
if the github mod page was instead perhaps a google sheet
if only it wasn't a github readme
The Ram
conflicting visual styles 
YO THATS SICK
8 player balatro
i mean
8 suit balatro
I do like it
the ram
these suits even have magical powers
8 player balatro....
thats just jimbo's invitational
Jimbo, Todd, Steven, Andy, Chaos, Mr. Bones, Sock, and Buskin all show up
each minor arcana suit gives a special bonus when a flush of it is played:
Cups - +1 Hand
Wands - Scoring cards get +10 perma bonus chips
Coins - +$5
Swords - X2 Mult
The strength seems pretty different
they each accomplish different things
what about vanilla suits?
Cups lets you keep rolling, Wands is long-term investment in your cards, Coins is MONEY, Swords kills the blind you're on right now
Nothing
that seems unfair
Disagree
when you play a flush of vanilla suits, you score chips and mult
#SomeSuitsAreMoreEqualThanOthers
other than this?
minor arcana suits will not be in your starting deck
I think Wands could at least give +15
ah
i was actually considering making Wands give Perma Mult
which i think is just generally more interesting anyway
perma mult seems too much tho
it wouldnt be 10 of it
I think that could work, but I do like a suit gives xMult and another gives Chips
I kinda would like Wands to do something Green though
I like the xMult
Is fits the color and theme
unfortunately not much is Green-flavored in balatro
not sure of it
It could just generate something random
The River
conjure a random consumable....
The Wave? The Breath?
homestuck reference
not sure about the design
Homestuck reference
yeah
the air conditioning
the aquarius
press button receive bacon
The A/C In Summer
bruh
Maybe two
The River 👍
I like this too
aquarius is too long
im pretty sure all boss blinds (not ante 8 bosses) are 1/2 syllables
this is a regular boss right?
yup
Actually I retract the Wave, I think a more fitting design would reference that Japanese painting
So what
The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious blind when
Ante 40 boss
I disagree
i disagree
That Blind names need to be short
every boss has a nice simple name
with my poor english this conversation sounds so horrible
they dont need to be short, they need to be simpel
Aquarius is a nice simple name
no its not
its not like we're using proper english here either
Non-romance speakers smh
its a wonderful ante 8 boss name though
Disagree
It’s not a colorful object
i created a war ._.
excuse my aro ass
Native Anglophones versus non-native Anglophones

quaso
the river for poker theming
I suggest The Wibbly
the standard boss blinds are based on the letters of the phonecian alphabet which all have bespoke symbolic meanings
the showdown boss blinds are based on <color> <suit>, primarily using "alternate" suits found in foreign language poker decks
What’s the theme?
Its a term in Poker
Oh I didn’t know the Boss Blinds were inspired by Suits
The Golden Gold Boss Blind when
this
Still, there’s only so many of those
yeah
I still think it should either be The River, or The Flow
since The Wave was retracted
The River works, but I like Aquarius too
i like Aquarius too, but it doesn't make sense for a Balatro boss blind name
for my blinds, i'll be going for various other "characters with symbolic meanings", stretching the definition to include things like emotes
showdown blinds i might base on suits in other mods
Agree to disagree
i'm making blinds but i don't have ideas for the effect
make the effect based on this lmao
Can't play 5 cards for The River, since the River in poker is the final card
sounds good
🤝
play less than 5 cards per hand
can't appear on ante 1 ofc
I think that’s too harsh for a normal Boss
Even for a Final Boss it’d be harsh IMO
The better hands need 5 cards
^
In standard Poker
In Balatro, often the better hands for high level play are High Card and Pair
But in most situations most players are aiming for the 5-card hands IMO
I think that’s biasing you :P
so i agree with this
damn you, human nature!
i would love to hear more ideas though, for the sake of @celest musk
But maybe it can punish 5 cards in another way
i usually aim for 5 card hands cause they're fun and it feels more like i'm playing the game when i have to think
I was thinking also it could punish all hands but the last
Though that’s similar to needle
base chips and mult are halved or something idk
I thought that but then it’s weaker Flint
5th scoring card is debuffed? not sure how that'd be balance wise
playing a 5 card hand removes discards
Also @dapper helm with your new pfp I hadn’t recognized you lol
Niche Water
lmao that happens so often
i'm drawing, i go to discord and i see all of this 😂
better than a niche flint considering how awful Water is
thoughts on this though?
i like it
Hmmm, a bit weak but it works
but it feels very empty
interesting
you will be missing out on a few chips at most, since you can move your cards around
unless you have all glass
or all luckies, which then you might miss out on money or mult
i think it'd be about the same level as the psychic yeah, mostly easy as long as you pay attention but can technically ruin you in very specific situations
still feels too niche
could also make it be "5th card used in scoring" more specifically to make it count held in hand effects
having a super unlikely situation where the boss counters you doesnt seem much
playing a 5 card hand debuffs all cards played
bosses with 3x base requirement with "lesser" effects
you can still score, just not from the cards you played
Eh, that’s one rule I prefer to stick with
Do 2x base unless it’s like. Needle
Oh
what about this
i like it personally
This can be a boon or a curse
ok i like it
I like double-edged curses
whats with vanilla boss blind balancing anyways? why is the serpent a thing
he's gaming
It is fun tho
true but like how is it a boss
now i need something for the ram
It’s the only way it could be anything
So you have The Aries and the Aquarius?
Also I think it’s more of an Íbex, no?
the blue one will be called the river and this one (red) is the ram
make it 2 card draw and watch as everyone screams in horror at a now very difficult boss
Don’t íbices have long horns?
i was like what is an ibex then i went on google
Reverse tooth, discarding a card loses $1
What about setting $ to 0? 🤔
What is it?
it's because of the color that you went on money changing ? 😂
No the horns
ox moment
A ram hits you and stops you
in french it's a "bouquetin"
^ i like this but more as a balance patch on the tooth
well we arent balancing vanilla
Malheureusement je ne connais pas ce mot-là
france
did you use google translate or you're french too ?
Not French, in France
oh nice
Also Belgium moment (I’m not Belgian either FTR)
about the ram blind now ? 😂
I think horns need to be more forceful
Talons or claws I could see punishing discards
Agreed
gonna rename it
thats sick
but still have no idea for his effect
"thats stick" 😂
i propose this
dude i just got off a game of team fortress 2
this... is a bucket
dear god
i don't really see the point but i guess some easy boss can't be bad
there is more
no
counters higher value hands
I think that was the animal I was thinking of when I said íbex
Homestuck moment
How was my French by the way? 🤔
i need to get back to homestuck i don't have the refs anymore
what the hell is homestuck
Let me tell you about Homestuck *starts singing*
oh no
it was good
It’s a webcomic which used to be quite popular in the internet, about four kids/teens playing a game that endanger the world. Then it gets complicated with aliens, time travel, universe travel, etc.
sounds like jumanji
"then it gets complicated"
Nice 😎 I was confident it made sense but not sure about the vocabulary choice
It’s like Jumanji but Guy Fieri was the President of the United States
thats badass as hell
it sounded like very polite french
Actually I think the ICP were co-presidents and Guy Fieri was like a Senator? I don’t remember
I don’t know much slang
guy fieri was the antichrist
it's okay your french is good
guy fieri is the antichrist
I have the impression I can pass as French as long as I don’t open my mouth 😂
😂
Me: *speaks French*
French people: *answer in English*
oui !
i don't know why we do that
the worst is that most french people are bad in english
i have an idea
is it me or some of these are vanilla ?
i think thats on purpose
At least regarding service work, I can understand employees wanting to expedite the process.
maybe
no they shouldnt be vanilla
like vanilla symbol but different color no?
celtic runes here
But in the small bookstore I went to, which was otherwise empty, the salesperson was replying to me “yes” and “no” even though I was speaking French
interesting
C’mon person, I can understand “oui” and “non” 😭
row 4 and 8 i think
Isn’t the bottom one Flint?
ansuz is superficially similar to The Window
wynn is superficially similar to The House, The Head, and to a lesser extent The Fish
by having your blinds and the vanilla one side by side they're not the same but similar
^
I’d suggest distinguishing them more
i like how similarity to vanilla only matters when i do it
but honestly your blinds looks good
i think some of the lines need to be thicker
diagonal ones specifically
its not personal. i don't mind them being similar to vanilla since they're still different enough to tell at a glance, just saying cause you said they weren't supposed to be vanilla and some are similar to vanilla
yeah 45deg angles right
ya
