[hard plank]

[deft ore]

wooaaaahhhhh

[prisma latch]

killing you

[hard plank]

i already added this

[obsidian delta]

Two tribes done

[harsh glacier]

non modding chat regular message jumpscare

[prisma latch]

im going to kill everyone here

[harsh glacier]

wtf,,,,

[clever solar]

has anyone here done this before? the doc doesnt say much (smods.deckskins)

[tropic egret]

my krita crashed

[tropic egret]

yay

[harsh glacier]

here in modding chat we can guarantee that we only talk about balatro modding 26% of the time

[prisma latch]

what does your sou joker do

[sleek granite]

and that 98% of balatro players cant read

[half matrix]

any jsab references in balatro mods??

[normal hollow]

there's an example in the smods examples repo iirc

[prisma latch]

if you tell me it destroys all scored cards

im going to kill

[tropic egret]

does this

oh wow it's ugly

[wanton rapids]

not yet

[clever solar]

ok ill look

[frigid mica]

Someone suggested Asriel to be the 6th joker of my Buster Buffoon Bundle. What’s his ability gonna be?

[hard plank]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Aikoyori's_Shenanigans/Jokers

[harsh glacier]

kills everything

[clever solar]

would be cool tho

[harsh glacier]

including your run

[frigid mica]

I haven’t added noisette yet

Wait

[prisma latch]

ok thank god

they do different things

[hard plank]

it's completely different yeah

i just realised Slovenia is a real country

[frigid mica]

Noisette gains extra retrigger each time a boss blind is defeated, retriggers the rightmost joker, is that possible?

[prisma latch]

wait hang on sou with revive seal is crazy

[prisma latch]

???

[tropic egret]

this is the joker

[hard plank]

just heard it over TV

[harsh glacier]

holy shit checkerboard

ike the checkered deck

[half matrix]

i have a theory

[harsh glacier]

(balatro reference)

[prisma latch]

what did you think solvenia was before.

[hard plank]

it did not register to me as real before that moment

[harsh glacier]

solvenia doesn't sound like a real country

[half matrix]

what about slovakia?

[hard plank]

Slovenia

[harsh glacier]

sounds like a made up one in an isekai

sorry to those solvanians out there but it really sounds fake

[sleek granite]

this just in
countries are fake

[hard plank]

it's Slovenia

[sleek granite]

its all fake
its all made up

[harsh glacier]

slovenia still sounds fake

it ticks all the boxes for country name tropes

😭

[half matrix]

Czechoslovakia

[harsh glacier]

Czechoslovakia is fine since you can't read it the first time properly

[hard plank]

i know friends from Czechia

[river lion]

im bored anyon neding sprites for their cards?

[hard plank]

and my brain associates Czechia and Slovakia together so according to my brain Slovakia is real

[deft ore]

can you sprite a madeline (the food)

[stuck gorge]

oh my g

[hard plank]

show work pls

[clever solar]

yall but once i finish making the text file thats gonna have the skin then what do i do? or rather where do i put it?

[tropic egret]

Prattville, Phenix City, Vestavia Hills, Alabaster, Opelika, Gadsden, Northport

[hard plank]

I'm pissed off how is not 1234567890

[tropic egret]

those are the cities from my first dnd campaign

aren't those wonderful

[normal hollow]

your mods folder as its own mod

[clever solar]

ok

[stuck gorge]

whyso

[harsh glacier]

aikoyori.

[hard plank]

it doesn't really make sense with keypad looking like that imo

[tropic egret]

aikoyori has never seen a calculator before

[clever solar]

so just slap the 1x, 2x, json, and lua in a folder and call it a day?

[stuck gorge]

[normal hollow]

yes

[clever solar]

ok

thx

[hard plank]

counterpoint

[harsh glacier]

aiko this is a numpad

[river lion]

xd

[harsh glacier]

what 900n1's making is a calculator

albeit a shitty one if you encounter it irl

[gray cove]

Hard pass on that one

[wanton rapids]

what does the calc button do

[deft ore]

idk

[harsh glacier]

it calcs for your calc

[gray cove]

Show extra stuff

[normal hollow]

calc is short for calculator btw

[gray cove]

How do you know that

[hard plank]

you are solving the thing as if you're inputting passcode to open something

[harsh glacier]

but its formatted like a calculator

so its a calculator

it has operations

[plush hound]

calc my shit gng

[hard plank]

literally the only operation is the flip +/-

[harsh glacier]

ts is like the fucking ladder vs. stepladder debate ong

😭

[full edge]

calc is short for calcium because math was done on bones

[harsh glacier]

wtf,,,,

[stuck gorge]

stop talking about my numpad layout i can make it be however i want to

it's just convenient to code it that way

[normal hollow]

i think it's cool when the keys fall

that's my opinion

[harsh glacier]

i think

that's my opinion

[deft ore]

therefore you are

[hard plank]

the keypad looks suspiciously like the one you use to open something like a safe

that's just my opinion

[wanton rapids]

okay well this is a start

[deft ore]

void

[sleek granite]

aikoyori do you not have a numpad on your keyboard

[harsh glacier]

got damn +4 mult

[hard plank]

don't you just love dynatext

[normal hollow]

good, i hate dynatext i want it gone

[hard plank]

yes i do but i think the 1234567890 layout fits better than 7894561230

[sleek granite]

well i think

[harsh glacier]

but n',,,,,

[hard plank]

but

n

[harsh glacier]

the bobbing text ,,,,

[hard plank]

if you're gone

[harsh glacier]

aikoyori

[normal hollow]

just :juice_up the normal text

[stuck gorge]

ok it's properly working now

[hard plank]

mistakes have been made

[terse portal]

what did you think was gonna happen

[hard plank]

i dunno

[terse portal]

[stuck gorge]

ralsei is the knife theory

[deft ore]

krerdly canon

[terse portal]

I forgot discord has an inbox
I can just jump to message

[hard plank]

Friday Night

[hard plank]

nuh uh

[terse portal]

I WAS PINGED HERE

I HAVE AN OBLIGATION

[wraith seal]

can you add the flickering | at the end too

:3

[terse portal]

omg hi bepis

[wraith seal]

hii

[terse portal]

hiiii

[sleek granite]

omg hi bepis

[wraith seal]

i think my pc is reaching its end

[terse portal]

but improbable?

[wraith seal]

like, literally, the lag spikes are getting worse

[hard plank]

i don't think 1+1 = 8

[wanton rapids]

oops...

[normal hollow]

baltro

[hard plank]

where did everything go

[wraith seal]

omg hi autumn

[terse portal]

bro held r

[stuck gorge]

i dont feel like it but i'll make the buttons jiggle a little when clicked on

[hard plank]

AUTUMN HELLO

[stuck gorge]

it does wdym

[prisma latch]

how do you test a shader again

like how do you open the live update test window or whatever

[hard plank]

watch it with debugplus

[sleek granite]

im sorry ;;

[prisma latch]

ye and how do i do that

[terse portal]

can you make it so it crashes if you divide by 0

[wraith seal]

i will now learn to shader

wish me luck everyone

[stuck gorge]

you cant do operations you're just inputting numbers

[wraith seal]

i will either come out with an enchant shader or stop modding entirely

;3

[hard plank]

watch shader Mods/rendomsidkwhatitsnamex/assets/shaders/shaderfile.fs

[stuck gorge]

may you find your shaders shaded

[terse portal]

put the shader in the bag this is a stick up

[hard plank]

tho i sketch my shaders in glsl.app first

[terse portal]

easter egg

[hard plank]

the problem with shaders for beginners

is that you need to know what you can do

you can't print anything

[sleek granite]

ofc not i dont own a printer

in this economy???

[terse portal]

book of shaders though

[wanton rapids]

oops ???

[deft ore]

john mods

[terse portal]

what are you doing

[wanton rapids]

i do not know

i will find out eventually

[primal valley]

this looks SO WEIRD lmao

he doesnt fit in at all </3

[hard plank]

what mods do i play

i will ask this question in game discussion

[stuck gorge]

accidentally made the buttons bigger but i kinda prefer them like this, what do yall think

[wanton rapids]

i would argue that he fits in more than most mfkaa jokers

[round ore]

try cryptid

[frigid mica]

IS THAT OUR SAVIOR?

[round ore]

it will keep you entertained for a while

[wanton rapids]

yeah aiko you should try cryptid

[primal valley]

rash out

[wraith seal]

Cash Out ($10)

[frigid mica]

Y’all say this don’t work out because he too big, right? Think of a pose I can use for this legendary joker.

[terse portal]

do you need cream for that

[frigid mica]

No T pose because 2018 sucks balls

[terse portal]

This looks awesome wtf

[wraith seal]

that pose when he crouches down to Judgement

[plush hound]

i have gonorrhea

[sterile hornet]

[wraith seal]

or, wait

one sec

[plush hound]

VvvvrVvvvvr

[frigid mica]

I’m gonna stress so hard on this one because I don’t actually know how to draw anatomically correct bodies

[frigid mica]

Ahh I forgot about that mf

[full edge]

I don't think the art really reflects anything like the vanilla legendary style, but that's sick art. Love the scribbliness (unless that's just because you're still sketching, but even then I still like it, haha)

[frigid mica]

It’s not meant to

[plush hound]

i fw siiva HEAVY

[wanton rapids]

morefluff...

[plush hound]

ITS NOT MF

[half matrix]

joker idea: Horray for Friendship: gains X1.25 when face cards are played
rarity: rare

[latent crescent]

@hard plank did you encounter an issue with gamepad like: when you select search input and close "gamepad keyboard", gamepad buttons stop working at all?

[frigid mica]

I’m here to see MF DOOM

[full edge]

Gonna figure out how I do this shading in a less five o'clock shadow way and in a more 'divine cheekbones' way

[wanton rapids]

gains x1.25 is way too strong for a rare

[round ore]

guys do you see it

[plush hound]

mold

[round ore]

it's granite

[normal hollow]

amogus

[sterile hornet]

yeah literallynoone
i checked and apparently they restored all the videos they privated, which is nice

[round ore]

lesbian pose

[half matrix]

any suggestions becus i broke it lol

[frigid mica]

That’s epic sause

[hard plank]

i haven't checked

[sterile hornet]

since they were rebranding and didnt want the non serious stuff

[sterile hornet]

THY SESBIAN LEX IS NOW

[sterile hornet]

oh my god

[frigid mica]

Frieza pose

[sterile hornet]

its the 🫵 the thing

[frigid mica]

Shadow pose

[round ore]

frieza is my favorite lesbian

[frigid mica]

Shadow is my favorite lesbian

[full edge]

just because you're around, @sterile hornet , as an amazing pixel artist, do you have tipson how to make the shading work better fgor cheekbones?

[sterile hornet]

Frieza is the adam and eve to the lesbians
he birthed us all

[plush hound]

WAIT

[hard plank]

frieren

[round ore]

frieza is the nb monarch

[frigid mica]

Ok so

[half matrix]

changed joker function: gain x0.01 multi when face cards are played

[frigid mica]

You want that pose of Minos?

[round ore]

im sorry, it's lesbian

[plush hound]

HE'S A DUDE THO

[sterile hornet]

what are you aiming for
what is divine cheeckbones

[round ore]

should i try deltarune i only played undertale like 10 years ago back when it was THE hype shit

[prisma latch]

not for long

[hard plank]

shadering time innit niko

[round ore]

He's lesbian now, i dont make the rules

[frigid mica]

You want this to be the pose?

[wanton rapids]

i think i've done something wrong here

[frigid mica]

What the hell

[hard plank]

bright

[round ore]

is that loss

[sterile hornet]

ah, the lesbian polycule is happening

[hard plank]

no

stop

no

[frigid mica]

Maybe

[plush hound]

im not DOING it

[wraith seal]

i mean, it looks epic :3

[frigid mica]

THE GAME

[sterile hornet]

hm try turning your pc off and on again mhm mhm

[wanton rapids]

oh i forgot to clear. im stupid

[sterile hornet]

schizo

[hard plank]

you will fract() and you will like it

[full edge]

haha, divine cheekbones is probably too strong a term 😛 More so just any definition for the cheekbones at all. This is the non-pixel art version of the joker, which is of course just the gone girl poster

[plush hound]

i will NOT vec

[round ore]

loss is in balatro

[hard plank]

stop

[primal valley]

??????????

[hard plank]

you will vec4 color = vec4(1.); and you will like it

[sterile hornet]

i think in your version, the eyes are too close together, the forehead needs more space too? and the hair slit at the top, you can see in the reference image is glowing blue to an extent

[plush hound]

no..

[half matrix]

what if a Balatro mod has a Minesweeper

[normal hollow]

i would play it

[solar sandal]

meow

[round ore]

balatrosweeper

[solar sandal]

hello chat

[sterile hornet]

i think you should just try to get pureref of some other software, to compare the reference image side-by-side

[normal hollow]

nya

[sterile hornet]

haii

[hard plank]

🏳️‍⚧️

[full edge]

Oooh, all good insights. I think some half shades might help me move the eyebrows a bit, as the full pixel makes them feel too far apart. Generally the issue of my approach of tracing for general shapes and only then really pixelating it in a pixel-art style, I guess! Appreciate it!

[sterile hornet]

ice cream

[sterile hornet]

mhm mhm

[full edge]

I'll look into pureref, literally never heard of it

[plush hound]

trans right!! ^^

[solar sandal]

True

[sterile hornet]

i used it since its free, you can put videos, and seemingly infinite amount of things
obviously as most of these software do, it also is pinned to your screen (by choice if you dont want it) so it just stays there

[full edge]

That's so much easier than flipping layers constantly, haha

[half matrix]

see eyes

[sterile hornet]

trans wrongs is being too cute

[sterile hornet]

mhm

[full edge]

I use the reference layer in aseprite a lot too (all the Kino tarots use it), but aseprite's reference layer kinda sucks to work with, haha

[wind token]

I’ve had a heat advisory for the past three days

[sterile hornet]

plus it doesnt get pixelised when you scale it down to fit the pixel size of your drawing

[sterile hornet]

i see isee

[plush hound]

how do you word this better

im

so stupid

[wanton rapids]

okay this is a start

[plush hound]

john mods

[hard plank]

notmario

i beg

[wanton rapids]

let me finish this okay

[solar sandal]

what are you cooking

[half matrix]

what if i put mlg memes in the balatro mods

[plush hound]

i already did

[full edge]

Yeah, the pixelization I have currently is just because the current joker arts for Kino are all already just pixel crushed shrank down version of the posters, with the title changed into joker or a joker-pun, haha. I'm not unhappy with my pixel art skills, but my personal style is generally very pokémon-esque, or involves humanoid shapes without a head, so human heads have been an issue in doing this, haha. I'd love to teach myself anatomy on a pixel scale a bit better so I can convert a lot of these posters more so than trace them

[half matrix]

what about ytp?

[solar sandal]

its your balatro mod, do whatever you want with it

[full edge]

Though ngl, really like the end result of some of those traced jokers, just not all, haha

[wanton rapids]

player... i remember... your sells....

[plush hound]

havent

[azure dagger]

"This Monkey will double your cash.
If you didn't buy anything from the last shop,"

[plush hound]

tysmmm

[half matrix]

dinner

[plush hound]

as promised

i will now lay eggs

[azure dagger]

in this economy?

[full edge]

good point, think I'm gonna watch Chicken Run 🤔

[plush hound]

THATS A PEAK MOVIE

GOD

[half matrix]

what if balatro has a pvz mod

[plush hound]

i remember playing the videogame on my PS2

[plush hound]

none as of now but that would be peak

[plush hound]

free money

[full edge]

I watched it as a kid, but I haven't in like 20 years, haha

[river lion]

frfr and chiken 2 was as great as the fisrt

[solar sandal]

few pvz joker ideas
sunflower - earn $4 at start of round
wall-nut - 0.9x blind size
chomper - destroys joker to the right and earns 1.5x its sell value as money

[latent crescent]

Nvm I fixed it. Rerendering input immediately after inserting value breaks controls

[plush hound]

make it real

[solar sandal]

i can't code sorry 🪦

[plush hound]

how about

you and i

cook

[brittle nexus]

rare should be better imo, uncommon is cheated asf

[latent crescent]

[plush hound]

oh dont worry about the rarity

im learning 😭

ill set it all to the fair rarities

once im done with all of

[river lion]

if u gon do a pvz mod lemme do them sprites :D

[plush hound]

these

[brittle nexus]

om a begginer too x)

[latent crescent]

nope.jpg

[plush hound]

dont deleye that

itll crash

the game

[brittle nexus]

tf2 cow ahh png

[lunar sluice]

offtopic but you should add 5000 different types of bananas a progressions from cavendish

me when i hit the 1 in 10 trillion chance to get the next banana

[solar sandal]

cool berdly pfp ruby

[latent crescent]

I like more from github

[plush hound]

im adding the fucking seedling for the banana 😭

[lunar sluice]

what if there was a game called deltarune

[plush hound]

mhmm

[plush hound]

impress your e girl with your gaming skill

[lunar sluice]

of course

[plush hound]

ill hit you up when im done

[lunar sluice]

also can you add a tier 0 banana which comes before gros michel and now gros michel is locked by default

and it has a 1 in 2 chance to break and gives -4 mult

[plush hound]

you know what

that is funny

hold on

im adding that to my list

[lunar sluice]

not cavendish

i mean gros michel

[solar sandal]

gross michel

[latent crescent]

Sounds like idea for Roblox game

[river lion]

o shit we figthing for it >:D

[plush hound]

i mean you can go first

im still busy working on Tangents

[wanton rapids]

oh wtf new ruby pfp

i didnt even notice it was you

[pine fractal]

guys i need some help the game keeps crashing when i want to see my deck mid-run due to the cartomancer mod any ideas why?

[wanton rapids]

anyways glowing text is too hard i cba

[solar sandal]

okay more pvz ideas
small sun shroom - earns $2 at start of round. after 2 rounds, grows into sun shroom
sun shroom - earns $4 at start of round. after 2 rounds, grows into large sun shroom
large sun shroom - earns $6 at start of round

[plush hound]

aiko time

[solar sandal]

hmmm what else
imitater can just be a reversed blueprint

[plush hound]

sun joker will give you money in different ways

[solar sandal]

especially gold bloom
i think instas should be consumables

gold bloom would just give you $8

[river lion]

cherrybomb = playing a hand with 5 cards destroys them and wins the current blind
grave buster = sell it to remove the eternal from joker to the rightt

also i believe some people already tought of ideas for a pvz mod lemme search real quick

[half matrix]

Deltarune Tomorrow: 1 in 2 chance evolves to a Deltarune Today (adds X2 multi)

[lunar sluice]

i usually change my pfp more often than this

[latent crescent]

deltarune forever

deltarune chapter 5 tomorrow

[fair thistle]

Berdly made entropy /j

[prisma latch]

holy shit its berghley

[river lion]

@solar sandal theres a sugestion anmed the sheet sugestions and people just did 1 idea for every pvz1 plant there

[solar sandal]

oh ok

[half matrix]

Any custom friends of jimbo mods?

[prisma latch]

many

[half matrix]

What if Balatro x Jusr Shapes and Beats as a Friends of Jimbo pack

[fair thistle]

damn right--

[wanton rapids]

counterpoint balala

[lunar sluice]

i dont really care about awards i think balatro deserves it because balatro is just some guy and astrobot is made by sony

[fair thistle]

countercounterpoint - joker poker

[lunar sluice]

awards dont mean the game sucks its just a way to get a lot of recognition

and balatro deserves recognition more even if its not more deserving of what the award stands for

which

idk how i feel about the last part

but its irrelevant

[full edge]

I would've only realized three weeks in if you hadn't said something, haha

[fair thistle]

I think uhhh.... Me /j

[lunar sluice]

i think balatro is a better pick because award or not everyone loves astrobot

it doesnt really change anything if astro bot gets an award

[normal hollow]

i wanted either astro bot or balatro to win so im happy with the result

[fair thistle]

that's what I was kinda thinking too

[lunar sluice]

its more meaningful if whats basically some random indie game made by some random guy wins the award

and yes i like both of them although i havent really played astrobot myself

[prisma latch]

sony when they won: "oh cool another award"
localthunk if balatro won: "HOLY SHIT AN AWARD"

[full edge]

Awards are weird anyway

[prisma latch]

it would have been more meaningful for balatro to win

[lunar sluice]

i just think which game is better isnt really important to who deserves the award more

[fair thistle]

my brother refuses to play balatro

[latent crescent]

Wukong and Balatro was in my expectations

[normal hollow]

rather than think of astro bot as a sony game i think it's more meaningful to think of it as a rare non-nintendo platformer winning the award

[stark shale]

gonna test something real quick

[full edge]

I think you forget that the team of a game gets the award, and they're still stoked as hell

[latent crescent]

Astro Bot unknown game for me

[lunar sluice]

astro bot winning would be cool too

[prisma latch]

yknow thats true acc

[fair thistle]

lmao

[lunar sluice]

embrace the comedical effect

[fair thistle]

[normal hollow]

as opposed to a Rare platformer winning the award because they're all bad

[fair thistle]

Balatro is technologically advanced because it's not fucking bloatware lmao

(joke)

[full edge]

I don't much care about game awards due to marketting pressures being even more of a bias than in movie awards, but I don't think it's fair to negate how much an award win can mean to a dev just because they worked on a triple A published game. Also, people don't know what indie games actually are, so the general public's notion of what would be better as far as an indie game win vs a publisher win is whacky, anyway

[normal hollow]

you didnt have to install the Balatro Launcher Sponsored by Ubisoft???

[full edge]

that said, Astrobot was amazing, but Balatro is an amazing achievement in UI design and such a good game that I don't think it'd be weird if it had won

[lunar sluice]

well yes the general public just has weird views about video games most of the time

i dont think its really a surprising point even if i agree

[wraith seal]

guys

booting up balatro froze my laptop

its been 1 minute

what now

[full edge]

I think that point's more towards any notion of 'indie games deserve awards' generally, rather than it being Balatro specific, because people in comment sections often just decide what's indie based on pixel-artness, haha

[normal hollow]

uninstall windows

[full edge]

But also, the actual industry's responsible for that too

(Dave the Diver being an indie nominee, etc.)

[prisma latch]

i should. get an artist to help me maybe. but hell no im a coward

[normal hollow]

i hated that

[lunar sluice]

this is generally my sentiment

[wraith seal]

my cursor teleported by the end of the video, wow

[lunar sluice]

it would be very cool for an indie game to win a big award even if both of the games deserve awards even if the devs of both games would be really happy with the award

[stuck gorge]

hell yeahhh

[wraith seal]

all my artists approached me first

so that helps a lot :3

[hard plank]

hello ruby

[wraith seal]

im too scared to ask people to draw for me lol

[normal hollow]

bepis is popular

[prisma latch]

damn, lucky

[lunar sluice]

hello

[prisma latch]

lol

[sleek granite]

i get around needing an artist by not giving a shit

[lunar sluice]

i did a lot of the original art for entropy myself then people just showed up and decided they wanted to help

i wouldve been fine doing it all by myself

[wraith seal]

i think it would be cool to have a slight hover effect too

🤔

not so much that it makes pressing the buttons annoying

[prisma latch]

ive conveniently been stepping around all of the joker art that would involve drawing any sort of character

beacuse. i dont wanna

it scares me

[lunar sluice]

just keep placeholder art forever

[wraith seal]

thats

[sleek granite]

i just have 70 copies of

[wraith seal]

also the main reason why bsr uses art of weapons instead of characters

:p

[terse portal]

Okay

[wraith seal]

you literally made placeholder jokers an archetype.

[sleek granite]

yea

:3

[prisma latch]

i have a cool placeholder sprite. but then i made it into a joker. so i no longer have a universal placeholder sprite

because a joker is already using it.

[fair thistle]

Place Joker

[sleek granite]

i have a cool placeholder sprite
then i made 5 jokers that use it
i still have a universal placeholdr sprite

[stuck gorge]

hm.. i dont want to do a check every frame to see if the mouse is colliding with each of the buttons though

[runic halo]

You have artists???

[sleek granite]

see here

[wraith seal]

mhm! its now mostly th30ne thats handling art for yggdrasil

[runic halo]

Epic

[wraith seal]

but id like to not work on relics for a while to give them time to work on their mod too :p

[wraith seal]

[fair thistle]

[fair thistle]

tell your players youll update them later with real art

[terse portal]

i plan on adding an option to change my jokers’ sprites to the old ones

will this make four of them into placeholders? Yes

[hard plank]

try me

[full edge]

kinda just don't have too many jokers that are based fully on war movies, though I guess that'd be a fit. I haven't seen the movie, though, but I guess I can just figure out an aces based effect 😛

[deft ore]

no thanks

[terse portal]

Nothing ever happens

I can’t find chud joker

[wanton rapids]

aces cannot be used for straights if there is a 2 or 3 in played hand

there there's the aces high joker
