going back to a normal flush 5

[gentle citrus]

HOW MUCH CARDS DO YOU HAVE IN HAND!?

THE ENTIRE DECK!?

[digital glade]

40

no thats not the entire deck

this is the entire deck

soak it in rq

also this is my reroll cost

that's the most broken part of this

[oak kernel]

Oohh it's antimatter deck

Mystery solved

[digital glade]

cryptid antimatter

[gentle citrus]

Y'Know, that there was like a hand called the "entire deck"

have you played that?

[fair thistle]

i think i remember an older version of Antimatter Deck for Cryptid where even the editions of everything was completely randomized

[shy pollen]

hey can anyone help me fix my issue?

[fair thistle]

it was so unreadable

[shy pollen]

so after i added lovely to my balatro files, aswell as steamodded, i added cryptid aswell as the talisman file

[full edge]

Either Talisman is nested (there is a folder named talisman in your talisman folder), or it's not named 'Talisman' with that specific capitalization

[shy pollen]

youre right

theres another talisman folder

and its fixed

thanks!

world record customer service right there

[wind turtle]

No, I'm pretty sure the name being specific was fixed.

[full edge]

Ah, I thought that was still on the dev version! Good to know!

[digital glade]

there is, but that's (I think) an entire normal deck, not sure if it would work in this case

[inner breach]

Is there anything here that would cause cryptid and brainstorm to not work? They always crash
Cryptid crashes when i try to start a run and brainstorm crashes the second the game opens, before the menu screen

[digital glade]

erm what

[fair thistle]

very convenient that credit card has mime before it in the collection because im playing a mod with a pack that specifically has a credit card and im also playing entropy where theres a card that lets you move a joker back one in the collection

[digital glade]

bought a few vouchers in the shop

my deck is 217 cards, getting there

okay what does flush 5 give me

oh god

this calc time is too much let's do a different deck

[heady sparrow]

I just drew SSJ3 Wario vs Creepypasta Wario in WarioWare D.I.Y

[lunar sluice]

hello

[jaunty galleon]

balatro

[lunar sluice]

would you like to see something that i think is pretty cool

[sharp anvil]

which mod is it that gives extra information under the jokers

[lunar sluice]

joker display

[jaunty galleon]

hit me

[sharp anvil]

ty goat

[jaunty galleon]

jokerdFUCK

[jaunty galleon]

OH

FINALLY

[lunar sluice]

jevonn was talking about wanting to make the dependency optional

and with the balance changes making this more feasible

i just coded it onto that branch

[solar sandal]

finally

[prisma hearth]

how to use card you create on jokerforge?

[solar sandal]

i am free from talisman (the mod)

[lunar sluice]

gotta make sure everything works because it still works just fine with talisman on too

so its doing some shenanigans

[jaunty galleon]

yeah if you’re hitting naneinf regularly the mod usually sucks ass. then again that’s my mo

[jaunty galleon]

some… aiko shenanigans

[lunar sluice]

without exotics it should not be any easier to hit naneinf if my changes get fully approved imo

[solar sandal]

ruby is rebalancing cryptid to be closer to vanilla

[jaunty galleon]

doesn’t the expo stuff need talisman

[lunar sluice]

nah

[sharp anvil]

wait so when installing mods do I throw the entire source code folder for the mod into the mods folder or just the .lua?

[exotic belfry]

[lunar sluice]

you can do exponentials in lua normally

i just need to readd the calc keys if talisman isnt there

[jaunty galleon]

the autumncircus cryptid dream is alive

[solar sandal]

well ig not completely free since i also have astronomica installed but i can just ban anything op from that mod

[lunar sluice]

im still unsure what im going to do with entropy tbh i think ill just make the stuff that really needs talisman only show up with talisman on

but tbf

its like not that many jokers

entropy is already pretty well balanced outside of like entropics which i went overboard with

and the solar edition

[solar sandal]

i can just ban those too if needed tbh though id have to actually get them first

since i'm not playing with full unlocks anymore

[full edge]

the mods folder should contain a folder for each mod. So if you download Grab Bag, for example, in your /mods folder there should be a /GrabBag folder, and inside of that will be the .lua files and all the other stuff!

[sharp anvil]

Thank you man, I figured it out!

[glacial folio]

ive added some more commands

but rn im just wondering why smods isnt working

and why isnt it my fault

i was hoping itd be my fault but i cant find anything on it other than an open issue with no comments

[jaunty galleon]

why the hell would you want to [download grab bag](#1334717157098913833 message) anyways

[full edge]

@umbral pilot the Americanness of your experience might make it less relevant, but I might pick your brain about it at some point, if you're okay with that. Though probably when it's less midnight for me 😛 I'm getting burned the fuck out on being a freelancer translator, and I'm still in the age range where traineeships would consider me, and programming's generally been easy enough to pick up, haha

[umbral pilot]

Please do, feel free to DM or @ me if you ever have any questions. My career so far has been very non-traditional so my advice might not be great, but I'll do my best.

[fair thistle]

m

[normal hollow]

im getting sent spam emails from some person named eremel

[umbral pilot]

strange creature

[fallow bramble]

You should talk to the mods about it, maybe he's on that server

[normal hollow]

im sure the balatro server doesn't have any scammers or bots

never seen one

[umbral pilot]

want free money?

[normal hollow]

omg mr beast?

[fallow bramble]

Well then its gonna be hard finding this guy

[umbral pilot]

omg really

[fallow bramble]

Yes

[full edge]

Haha, my main concerns when learning about new job avenues is how people there cope with burn out or hating their job 😛

[glass patrol]

where do i find a list of mods?

[full edge]

You can check out the modded balatro wiki

95 x 71 joker

[rain minnow]

why do you have yen

[zenith loom]

ask haya

[vital dome]

i call it the bullshittium

rhymes with grug

[rain minnow]

so + = * and * = ^?

[zenith loom]

mhm

[vital dome]

OKAY GUYS I JUST GOT INFINITE HIGH CARD

MULT

[wide mulch]

i love the effect on the name

[rain minnow]

looks like they did both though?

is that intentional

[zenith loom]

only visual

[rain minnow]

i see

[zenith loom]

theres a few bugs here

[vital dome]

thats why its called bullshittium

[zenith loom]

a few vanilla jokers also dont work properly like the suit mult jokers

because theyre just too hardcoded

[dense spindle]

i'm pretty happy with this joker concept i made but there's a big problem with it. i can't think of any abbreviation for it a la "grimbo" "squimbo" etc

"magenta" is too clunky of a word

[vital dome]

ill just remove the bullshittium factor of the build

[rain minnow]

magimbo

[vital dome]

magentabo

magentaboo

[dense spindle]

is the g pronounced as in gif?

[vital dome]

magenta boo

boo

[dense spindle]

i think i'll go with majimbo or similar

[rain minnow]

WHY DOES THIS SERVER BLOCK EVERY TYPE OF MEDIA EXCEPT FOR FILESS

[dense spindle]

gif spam got really annoying i think

[rain minnow]

i guess its easier to send a link than to manually upload the gifs

[vital dome]

someone say a random escalating joker

[jaunty galleon]

green

[oak kernel]

blue

[solar sandal]

joker printer...

[solar sandal]

magrimo

[vital dome]

is my wee relatable?

[vital dome]

i prefer saying, bullshittium

[vital dome]

idk why but made me chuckle

[jaunty galleon]

ok modding-chat are you ready for an IDEANUKE

[gray cove]

It was good knowing yall and i just wanna announce that i’ll be leaving Balatro modding , i’ve had my great time with it and with the community, it was a pleasure but i just need to continue with my life and find other stuff that interest me ,more
With all this been said (i’ll still be in the server but not as active) Adios

[vivid flame]

nooo

actually

Productivity +100%

[vital dome]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thanks for helping me with those weird crashing

ill miss you

ok back to the bullshittium

[teal sky]

I hope it turns out well for you

[vital dome]

is this relatable

i think i just shit myself...

[jaunty galleon]

i might make shattered blinds based off of the 12 zodiac signs (yeah i’m aware of ortalab’s zodiac cards)

it’s a good number and the theming is strong

[zenith loom]

the devious exponential photochad...

[digital glade]

oh god

[zenith loom]

having so much fun with this

[limber sandal]

how do people put images in their text

[zenith loom]

[limber sandal]

DETROIT BECOME HUMAN??

[digital glade]

excuse me what?

so just jokerless but legit impossible?

[limber sandal]

i guess lol

[viscid minnow]

its not impossible

[digital glade]

let's see you do it

[viscid minnow]

this is more possible than vfd deck on ascendant

[zenith loom]

wow i just started playing that like 2 days ago

[old mango]

i'm booting up to a black screen and it is related to mods

anyone have any idea why

nothing is going on in the love console

all just normal info

[viscid minnow]

wait nvm

i just relised the lack of joker slots

[old mango]

my game works when i delete steammodded tho

[digital glade]

try waiting a few seconds

[old mango]

i waited 5 minutes

[digital glade]

oh dang

[old mango]

yeah no idea whats causing it

[digital glade]

me neither

[old mango]

i know its steammodded just no idea specifically

[prisma hearth]

pls help

[digital glade]

imagine if vouchers stayed between runs

some1 needs to do that

[oak kernel]

Says it's from aikoyoris so probably go there https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1326135270759993364

[digital glade]

like a custom deck that did that

[viscid minnow]

roguelikes dont need starting loadouts

also we already have zodiac

[digital glade]

and maybe like keep giving the same vouchers in later runs that stack effect

[digital glade]

what does zodiac do again?

forgor

[viscid minnow]

gives some vouchers

okay

[digital glade]

well even if this game is a roguelike it would be cool

[viscid minnow]

im restart pc

THE GAME IS A ROUGUELIKE

[digital glade]

don't care

cool fun mechanic

ooo oooo eeee eee

[viscid minnow]

anyways my computer IA LAGing

[digital glade]

skill issue

[fallow bramble]

More autumn gaming

[zenith loom]

was considering trying to bring back new game+ from the demo in a standalone mod

[digital glade]

okay what would really be cool would be a mod that allowed having multiple editions on the same card

like a polychrome negative joker

[zenith loom]

so quantum editions?

i think it's hard to do that

[wind turtle]

I'm working on an update to my mod that does that and more.

[digital glade]

or a steel gold gold-stamped red-stampled blue-stamped purple-stamped wild mult bonus card

[digital glade]

oh hell yeah

ping me when ready

okay early throwback on cryptid glowing deck is INSANE

pretty sure it increases both the current mult and the mult increase

yeah just beat a boss blind and now its x15 mult

this is insane

here's current setup

and I lost

best hand 833k

[old mango]

still have issues with this god forsaken black screen

scowered the server and the internet

no resolve

[digital glade]

*scour

[old mango]

thanks

[digital glade]

really nothing unusual in the console?

[limber sandal]

made my first shader

[digital glade]

thats crazy

[limber sandal]

its effect could totally be made with ui but i cant be bothered

[old mango]

absolutely nothing unusual

[digital glade]

what versions of balatro/smods you using?

[old mango]

all just info

[old mango]

recent for both

[digital glade]

huh

[old mango]

most recent version

[digital glade]

any other mods?

[old mango]

just one that i made

but disabling it changed nothing

even smod on its own just doesnt boot

[digital glade]

thats really weird

[old mango]

yea no good

[limber sandal]

{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord / iResolution.xy;
    vec3 bg = texture(iChannel0, uv).rgb;

    float speed = 0.0059;
    float t = clamp(iTime * speed, 0.0, 1.0);

    float borderPx = 0.5;
    float thickness = borderPx / iResolution.y;

    vec3 col = bg;

    float borderPos = 1.0 - t;
    if (uv.y > borderPos) {
        float alpha = 0.5;
        col.r = clamp(bg.r + alpha, 0.0, 0.8);
        col.g = bg.g * (1.0 - alpha);
        col.b = bg.b * (1.0 - alpha);
    }

    if (uv.y < borderPos + thickness && uv.y > borderPos - thickness) {
        col = vec3(1.0);
    }

    fragColor = vec4(col, 1.0);
}```
first shader

now i gotta figure out how to put it in balatro

for a boss blind

basically a timed boss blind

gives you 2 mins and 50 secs to beat it

will have to throw random shit in to make it actually tense

since that big time number has a purpose

[old mango]

tried a different version of smod, same issue

no idea what the issue could possibly be unless its lovely

[glacial folio]

btw is there a mod that allows for faster game speeds

[limber sandal]

morespeed

[glacial folio]

i dont understand

i mean that name is quite self explanatory

[limber sandal]

{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord / iResolution.xy;
    vec3 bg = texture(iChannel0, uv).rgb;

    float speed = 0.0059;
    float t = clamp(iTime * speed, 0.0, 1.0);

    float borderPx = 0.5;
    float thickness = borderPx / iResolution.y;

    float freq = 50.0;
    float flash = (sin(iTime * freq) * 0.02) + 0.5;

    vec3 col = bg;

    float borderPos = 1.0 - t;
    if (uv.y > borderPos) {
        float darkR = 1.0;
        float brightR = 0.9;
        col.r = mix(darkR, brightR, flash);
        col.g = bg.g * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
        col.b = bg.b * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
    }

    if (uv.y < borderPos + thickness && uv.y > borderPos - thickness) {
        col = vec3(1.0);
    }

    fragColor = vec4(col, 1.0);
}```
this shader should seem a bit more accurate to the original material

No.

isn't Nopeus just a better version of MoreSpeed tho

https://github.com/lord-ruby/RubysBalatroCollection

[brisk seal]

hi missingnumber

[dreamy abyss]

i should watch some speedruns of that and i think it was Uplink(?) sometime

[whole nova]

don't use this

[dreamy abyss]

hi mathguy creator of the hit balatro mod hit

[whole nova]

don't get mods from thunderstore at all actually

[old mango]

still a black screen i genuinely can't do anything

[whole nova]

(in its current state at least)

[lunar sluice]

hello

[limber sandal]

i jsut did manual download

[dreamy abyss]

hi ruby

[whole nova]

what

[lunar sluice]

on thunderstore you can manual download the mod

[limber sandal]

so any shader wizards know how i can get this shader to play for exactly 170 seconds as a screen overlay

[full edge]

I'd make a note of this one the #1209564621644505158 thread, as it's definitely not a common issue

[lunar sluice]

which is basically the same as downloading the github release version

assuming its updated

[whole nova]

still though, morespeed is outdated

[limber sandal]

yeah that happens to me sometimes too, just restart

[limber sandal]

didnt know

[whole nova]

nopeus or even just handy work a lot better

[old mango]

i have quite a few times, about 30

[kindred hollow]

can someone help me install mods on balatro?

[limber sandal]

uh oh

[whole nova]

this shouldn't be happening period

[lunar sluice]

nopeus is starting to get a little out of date i think handy would be better but im not sure about the current state of handy animation skip

[whole nova]

not sure what's happening here but definitely not normal

[limber sandal]

anyone?

[whole nova]

from what i've seen animation skip can end up skipping some non-animation stuff? at least in my mod when i was testing some increments didn't happen iirc

though i could be wrong, would have to check again

[lunar sluice]

not sure i didnt test it

[whole nova]

there were definitely some little bugs though

[lunar sluice]

since i never actually use it anyway

[whole nova]

without anim skip it worked just fine tho

[lunar sluice]

i might actually need to start using it now that the branch of cryptid im working on doesnt even need talisman anymore but idk

i usually just use talisman animation skip for testing but i never have it on when im actually playing

[whole nova]

no talisman requirement?!?!?!

[lunar sluice]

it was something i was working on earlier

jevonn wanted to do it anwyay

and considering how hard it is to get more than 1 e now anyway

[whole nova]

sick

[lunar sluice]

i thought it was a good enough idea

[whole nova]

damn you REALLY balanced it

[lunar sluice]

i mean

exotics are still exotics

and they arent even changed yet

but theyll definitely be harder to scale as fast

when scalae and value manipulation both get nerfed

[whole nova]

makes sense

[lunar sluice]

the main culprit though which is equilibrium deck was taken out back and shot

now it has a much more fun effect imo

which also happens to be more balanced

[old mango]

making me so upset because i'm trying to work on my own mod and i've uninstalled the game, reinstalled several versions of lovely and smod and it still doesn't work and it's like nobody else has had this issue it's crazy

[latent crescent]

wdym

[lunar sluice]

like i literally dont know whats going on with it

i dont remember

[sleek granite]

balanced cryptid... one of the timelines

[latent crescent]

I tested it with Talisman and optimized it a far as I can

[lunar sluice]

idk if its even finished or not

[whole nova]

it should work just fine with latest smods release and latest lovely

[lunar sluice]

equilibrium is definitely still strong but like

only things that can already show up can show up now

so no hidden consumables or spectrals (unless you have ghost sleeve) or exotics/legendaries

[tepid prism]

-# That’s my favorite part tho…

[pastel estuary]

any mods i can add onto cryptid?

for more broken stuff

[hardy brook]

Yo

[latent crescent]

[pastel estuary]

rn i have jen's almanac and cryptid

[old mango]

lovely has no issues so i cannot fathom it

[lunar sluice]

huh reroll cost broke for no reason its just not scaling at all

stupid old ass overrides always breaking stuff

[whole nova]

it should be working perfectly, for all i know this is a display thing? not sure

[old mango]

there no sound either so thats not it unfortunately

[latent crescent]

It is finished. I done everything except calling incoming event queue functions immediately on unsafe because of reasons we discussed in DMs

[lunar sluice]

makes sense

i just didnt actually know thats why i said i wasnt sure

[old mango]

does the lovely console usually end on applying 2 patches to engine/text.lua

[latent crescent]

I event stopping event queue processing during talisman calculations to keep fps in acceptable state

And spare time use for very agressive gc

Further optimizations will affect events order, which I personally preffer to avoid

That's about it

[hardy brook]

Odd question: Where is the framework for jokers located in the files?

[old mango]

solution for my issue has been found

unsure why, but deleting line 6 of logging.lua in Steamodded/src

[whole nova]

what do you mean? like, joker code?

or the github repo that recreates vanilla additions in smods?

[hardy brook]

The joker code itself

i wanna add a new card type like the jokers

[whole nova]

hmm

...that may be a little difficult

like, an entirely new card type, separate from jokers, consumables, and playing cards?

[hardy brook]

yes

[sleek granite]

not actually that hard just extend SMODS.Center

[whole nova]

i would probably just extend the joker class itself and call it a new thing

yeah or just extend a center

[hardy brook]

How do I do that

[sleek granite]

smods src/game_objects.lua

[hardy brook]

SMODS.Joker = SMODS.Center:extend {...

I just make one for my new type?

[sleek granite]

yeah i think so

the game is generally not very picky about card types

[hardy brook]

Alright

[sleek granite]

so defining a new one isnt actually that hard

[whole nova]

it wouldn't be SMODS.Joker

[hardy brook]

I know

[whole nova]

you'd make your own type in your mod

[mint spindle]

hi

[whole nova]

alr just clarifying

[hardy brook]

i was looking for the orignal filetype

[lunar sluice]

you can make it under the smods table too

[jaunty galleon]

the mod manager people are frying my head, hello modding-chat

[lunar sluice]

it doesnt really matter that much tbh

[whole nova]

yeah fair

[harsh glacier]

hi guys

[whole nova]

generally has the same effect

[brisk seal]

you don't necessarily have to use SMODS

[sleek granite]

hi grab bag

[brisk seal]

to make object types

[lunar sluice]

well yes

you can do whatever

just keep it consistent if you do it more than once

but i think using smods looks cleaner imo

[sleek granite]

you are technically correct but doing it through smods is easier so shut up

[jaunty galleon]

it’s me grab bag. i have some grab bag ideas, for grab bag

[whole nova]

it's just a matter of preference

[hardy brook]

I may just do it for ease, but if i can translate it to lovely later on, then that'd be better

[sleek granite]

i should add grab bag crossmod

[hardy brook]

Crossmod?

[lunar sluice]

i think its referring to YourMod.X = SMODS.Center:extend vs SMODS.X = SMODS.Center:extend so its not really easier here

[whole nova]

...it's easier?

[sleek granite]

i will cross your mods

[jaunty galleon]

yeah, when the mods cross

Cross my Mods

[hardy brook]

So for example: Ortalab X [Mod]

[lunar sluice]

of course making a new card type without SMODS.Center:extend is harder but that was not the distinction being made anyway

[sleek granite]

shinku i have like 10 ortalab crossmod jokers in my mod

[viscid minnow]

how do i get entropic jokers? i completely forgot

[hardy brook]

[More]

[lunar sluice]

find beyond

[vital dome]

i call it, the bullahittium

[lunar sluice]

invert gateway or something

[viscid minnow]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hardy brook]

You can never have enough

[vital dome]

bullshittium*

[jaunty galleon]

what unique grab bag thing would you want to crossmod

[dreamy abyss]

a

[viscid minnow]

pissandshittium was the best joker for like a few days

[digital glade]

pissandshittium?

[viscid minnow]

it was ^^^mult

[sleek granite]

i could do something where it makes card(s) with your seals or enhancements or something, or otherwise make jokers that synergize thereof

[digital glade]

I have questions

[viscid minnow]

akiyoris shennanigians

[digital glade]

ah yes

[vital dome]

sorry if my joke is not original

[sleek granite]

River Card is interesting to me mostly because it is the only water elemental card i am aware of

[jaunty galleon]

oh i was thinking ephemeral cards or shattered jokers or something

[sleek granite]

oh that too actually

[viscid minnow]

also how does shatterd work

[jaunty galleon]

i have ideas for shattered blinds and enhancements

[viscid minnow]

i always find it in inverse packs

[jaunty galleon]

no idea why that happens

i’ll look into it, are you playing with cryptid or talisman by any chance?

[sleek granite]

ephemeral cards i think im more likely to just make as an Oddity, my own consumable type, Probably, unless i have an idea that would benefit from the flavor of ephemeral cards

but shattered jokers are conceptually cool and i might poke at that

[kindred hollow]

why does this mod doesnt work?

[jaunty galleon]

temporary cards are fun too (ephemerals mostly create temporary cards)

[sleek granite]

lol

[mint spindle]

you need a newer smods

hold

[sleek granite]

at this point i could set up something to randomly generate temporary cards using a random mod's temporary card mechanic

[mint spindle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[jaunty galleon]

how many other mods have temporary cards

[sleek granite]

i know aikoshen has a sticker that makes a card kil at end of round

[jaunty galleon]

yeah grab bag has that but an edition

[sleek granite]

yea

[kindred hollow]

now what

[jaunty galleon]

editions look cooler that’s why

[sleek granite]

im pretty sure theres more too

[kindred hollow]

i clicked on it

[digital glade]

genius idea what if I loaded all the mods in mod manager at once

[mint spindle]

okay now unzip it and put the folder inside in Mods

[kindred hollow]

ok

[vital dome]

i might not make it

[digital glade]

oh dear

[kindred hollow]

done

i think

[mint spindle]

b

[digital glade]

oh just thought of an idea that would probably legit break the game

[kindred hollow]

b

[digital glade]

for adding decimal values add them like ints rather than decimals

just break it

[vital dome]

ummm... guys

i did a do...

[digital glade]

did what

[vital dome]

a do

[iron hull]

how OP is "turn first scored face card into steel"

[digital glade]

extremely

[vital dome]

half OP

[digital glade]

pareidolia

[iron hull]

true

but thats synergy

[vital dome]

boy, oh boy

[lunar sluice]

me when combination of 2 jokers is stronger than 1 joker

(no way)

[vital dome]

guys 6 FPS gaming!

[lunar sluice]

its not really that op but it is strong still

[digital glade]

actually ykw do that sounds fun in a broken way

[vital dome]

ignore the money

and the ante

and the rounds

[iron hull]

im not trying to make my mod super balanced im tryna have fun

[digital glade]

oh then do it

[lunar sluice]

i mean its very fun but also its not even that unbalanced

[vital dome]

THATS THE SPIRIT!

[mint spindle]

sob

[lunar sluice]

having a bunch of steels in your deck isnt that bad since you still need to draw them

and you still need face cards which isnt that easy without other jokers

[digital glade]

make the entire deck steel

pareidolia

[vital dome]

make a joker called the bullshittium

[digital glade]

my favorite joker (no joke)

[vital dome]

he just does bullshit

[lunar sluice]

wow no way 2 jokers that work together are strong when together

(crazy)

[digital glade]

stop the cap

[kindred hollow]

worked, tysm

[lunar sluice]

idk the relevance of pareidolia here other than it synergises well with the joker

[sleek granite]

i will find pareidolia every time (clueless)
the 3000 joker collection:

[vital dome]

ante 4 duo: even todd, odd steven

[iron hull]

trying to work jokerforge since it doesnt have a thing for first triggers deliberately

[jaunty galleon]

for an uncommon, it’s like a b tier maybe

[vital dome]

BOY OH BOY

[lunar sluice]

also yeah i think youre really overestimating how likely you are to find pareidolia

[errant vessel]

ty balatro mods for teaching me to read my boss blinds

[digital glade]

oh no

all 4 of those are amazing

[lunar sluice]

take rocket 🗣️

[digital glade]

well the left one kinda sucks but still

[dense egret]

3 and 4

[digital glade]

ye I agree

[sleek granite]

golden joker and rocket 🗣️

[jaunty galleon]

can’t you just set a config variable in the joker to true at the start of the round and false when you steel a face card, and only do the effect if the variable’s true?

[errant vessel]

pare and ballot imo ....

[lunar sluice]

chad and rocket

are probably best

[digital glade]

yup got chad and rocket

[errant vessel]

fair and real

[jaunty galleon]

you’re welcome. the shame is so funny it’s one of my favourite grab bag additions

[digital glade]

I immediately got photograph after

[lunar sluice]

the shame is pretty cool tbh i need to play grab bag at some point

[digital glade]

photochad is real

[iron hull]

that's abouttt what i was trying to do

[lunar sluice]

i actually need to play more mods in general

[iron hull]

i think its really cool that a tool like jokerforge exists btw

[vital dome]

please dont look at the fps

[errant vessel]

I DIDNT EVEN READ THE NAME lol omg thats so awesome ty bro

[lunar sluice]

after im finished with balancing cryptid (and probably entropy) i will do that

[errant vessel]

hey ... hey r u ok

[digital glade]

whats fps?

[lunar sluice]

i think i will make entropy a standalone mod

[jaunty galleon]

wheel of misfortune is up there too because it hates you but X3 Mult is just too good to pass up

[digital glade]

earlier today I played a flush 54 that took 330 seconds to score

[lunar sluice]

and make the cryptid stuff crossmod stuff

[sleek granite]

cross the mods

[lunar sluice]

i dont wanna remove it because i put a lot of effort into making it interesting but also i think its gotten to a point where its less important that it even builds off of cryptid in the first place

so id rather just not do that

[vital dome]

no... no im not

[sleek granite]

ill make reverse tarot pettable to rotate them into 45 degree rotated reverse tarot

cartowomancer is my favorite stupid joker

[lunar sluice]

its very funny

[iron hull]

this should work right

[wary rose]

ante -2 naneinf 🗣️🔥

[digital glade]

some1 make a sort jokers button that like moves all the mult mult jokers to the back

because I play with negative deck so ~200 jokers

it's annoying to organize them

[errant vessel]

yea ... yea i figured LMAO

[jaunty galleon]

cart-owo-mancer or carto-woman-cer

[digital glade]

cart-o-cancer

[sleek granite]

the former

[vital dome]

do you think i look mentally stable?

ofc not

[sleek granite]

it lets you pet cards to rotate them 45 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise if possible

[jaunty galleon]

shame. i wanted a random Female Tarot Card every round

[vital dome]

thats what balatro does to me

[amber river]

i cant tell if thats a joke or not

[sleek granite]

yes it is a real joker in my mod

[mint spindle]

woah what is this

js curious tbh

never seen that before

[lunar sluice]

i still need to get fraud cards finished so john morefluff mario can make rotated fraud cards

but im ass at tarot art so im mostly doing other stuff in the meantime

[whole nova]

joker forge

[lunar sluice]

and hoping someone else finishes it before me

[whole nova]

basically scratch for mods

it's sick

[sleek granite]

like diseased

but its cute tho

[digital glade]

some1 make a vagabond-like card but for tarot cards

and I don't mean that straight flush one

[lunar sluice]

in the past i would have hated joker forge because i value coding things from scratch more than anything but i actually dont really care that much anymore

it looks fun for people who dont know how to code

[iron hull]

jonkler :D

[digital glade]

like create if < 10 $

[errant vessel]

no u right thats mb honestly

[sleek granite]

isnt vagabond the vagabond of tarot cards

[digital glade]

one spectral card later

[tranquil vessel]

you're so right for that

[digital glade]

also I had a royal flush build

for hearts

[lunar sluice]

replica moment

[digital glade]

at least I have walkie talkie

[lunar sluice]

i do not like replica

[digital glade]

not tooooo bad

oh wait if I get idol.....

[lunar sluice]

replica is like hammerspace where it feels like its designed so high hand size builds can be over the top for no reason

by not having a limit

[digital glade]

okay I was scoring 110k before now I'm scoring 25k

good enough for now but I need idol

[mint spindle]

uh link?? jolly jolly

[iron hull]

hmmmm

[whole nova]

[iron hull]

thinking of joker mechanics

[vital dome]

um............................

[iron hull]

theyre based off album covers and for homogenic i wanna do something with the line "I'm a tree that grows hearts, one for each that you take"

[sleek granite]

yeah stuff with no hard cap i would say should depend on your selection limit imo
-# (i.e. aikoshen alphabet cards)

[vital dome]

i guess i can abort now?

[whole nova]

just abort it's not gonna be worth it

[jaunty galleon]

GOATed reference

[iron hull]

so ♥️ and maybe destroying cards

[whole nova]

"i wanna see how high the number gets" statements muttered by the utterly mad

[iron hull]

kero kero bonito :p

love

[digital glade]

guys does mail-in rebate pick from deck like idol or just any card?

[hardy brook]

Syphilisation?

[whole nova]

pretty sure it's deck

[lunar sluice]

these were my notes on replica

[sleek granite]

it should be idollike

[lunar sluice]

this is kinda funny

[digital glade]

super sure?

[iron hull]

every discarded heart card does something idk

uhhh

[sleek granite]

its a strictly better (and not by a short margin either) version of multiple vanilla cards? sounds like cryptid

[lunar sluice]

rebate takes from your deck but it doesnt update if you remove the card that it picked to get that rank

[digital glade]

oh cool it works

[lunar sluice]

replica working on selected cards is good i think

[digital glade]

yay

free money

[solar sandal]

sigil is the other one i think

[iron hull]

or maybe ancientjoker like

[lunar sluice]

it makes it different enough

[iron hull]

switches suits

[lunar sluice]

personally id just remove it if i had to remake cryptid from scratch but tbh id rather not remove stuff thats already there if it can be reworked instead

some stuff still needs to be removed though

like the nostalgic hand type blinds

they are just not savable

thunk removed those for a very good reason

[sleek granite]

"nostalgia" for getting your teeth kicked in by a semi truck

[tranquil vessel]

I like the thought of the nostalgic blinds though

doesn't mean they're good game-design wise but

[lunar sluice]

i mean some of them are fine its basically just the hand type ones that are bad

[mint spindle]

i can't import my mod metadata for some reason :(

[whole nova]

no clue, ask in the thread lol

[lunar sluice]

i think nostalgic blinds could probably be a seperate mod imo

[sleek granite]

tbf it could be a cool thing if its like only on a particular deck or challenge or something

[lunar sluice]

that was another thing someone proposed

i think its an okay solution

i mean it sucks because playing nostalgic deck is pretty cool and the blinds are still unfun even when they are on the deck

[sleek granite]

i think having a specific mode that sucks and is optional for players to interact with is alright

[lunar sluice]

but atleast normal gameplay where you decide to do a pair/flush build doesnt just randomly die because of rng

[sleek granite]

maybe nostalgia deck + sleeve gets blinds....

[lunar sluice]

boss blinds that target a specific strategy are weird and its the reason why no one likes the plant

unless you never use face cards your run can just sometimes die randomly because of bad luck

[jaunty galleon]

i have a few mean shattered boss blind ideas. it's surprisingly difficult to design a boss blind that doesn't just kill certain strategies instantly

also man fuck this stupid zodiac bullshit

[vital dome]

one strange thing i started doing is when i finish cans i bite them

[lunar sluice]

theres a little leniency since i mean you can target inconsistent strategies more (and you should)

but

for the most part your blind shouldnt just be "if you play a full house you die"

[vital dome]

so uhhh... to keep on the modding balatro talk uhhh... joker cola

[limber sandal]

if you beat the blind you die

[heady sparrow]

...so Vagabond?

[limber sandal]

joka jola

[dreamy abyss]

||nameless nadir|| says hi

[heady sparrow]

unless you mean a tarot card version of Vagabond

[jaunty galleon]

gold staked a deck

ymmv

[heady sparrow]

hi missingno!!!!!

[limber sandal]

whar

[dreamy abyss]

hi

[heady sparrow]

which sprite we feelin today

uhh

[solar sandal]

none i think

[lunar sluice]

i was gold staking every deck before mods but i got bored and only did orange stake

since i find rentals to be a little annoying

idk if i finished black deck either actually

but definitely the others

[mint spindle]

wow it actually works

kinda peak

[dreamy abyss]

missingno or da h poke for today

[sleek granite]

'M pokermon cryptid crossmod....

[wide mulch]

your exported jokers or your import JSON?

[mint spindle]

grouchy jimbo tomorrow

[lunar sluice]

i am not exactly a purist when it comes to mods i love playing with a ton of mods on (to a reasonable extent) but i definitely do like to complete stuff as much as i can before i get bored first

[wide mulch]

beautiful art, you love to see it

[mint spindle]

also increased price because it's insane early-game

[lunar sluice]

this is really offtopic but i think it kinda depends on the game too

[digital glade]

I would've called it shy if that doesn't exist already

[lunar sluice]

stuff like tboi i would never play without mods because im forgetful enough to need item descriptions

but if i stopped making balatro mods i could see myself returning to pure vanilla at some point

[wide mulch]

valid

[digital glade]

yeah there's sly joker but not shy joker

[lunar sluice]

i used to play with way more tboi mods on though

[mint spindle]

okay but grouchy jimbo is funny

[lunar sluice]

now its basically just a few synergy mods, planetarium chance, external item descriptions and excelsior

[mint spindle]

(idk why it just is)

[digital glade]

that too

[jaunty galleon]

ortalab? more like, uhhhhhhhh

[lunar sluice]

entropy x ortalab real whenever i make it standalone

but thatll be in the future

[silent thistle]

died, not what it seems...

[jaunty galleon]

(not crossmod, just busting the zodiac monopoly wiiiide open)

[lunar sluice]

idk the way i interact with games and their mods is a little strange at times i think i am just a strange person

often i find myself turning to mods pretty quickly just to see whats going on and then playing with less and less mods as time goes on

i did it with balatro when i first started using mods

[sleek granite]

honestly i might wind up with cryptid crossmod for some of the less ridiculous aspects of it when a talisman-independant version drops.... i rember there being a few neat things but i feel like ill have to wait to see what ruby cooks up here ig

[digital glade]

does castle pick from deck or true random?

[mint spindle]

photo of grouchy jimbo tomorrow

[lunar sluice]

you can already try it out right now but its not the main branch (and its dubiously official at best) but its also kinda halfcooked

not every idea that i think needs changing is changed yet

[wide mulch]

photo of jokerforge with a photo of grouchy jimbo

[mint spindle]

😭

[lunar sluice]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/tree/balance-things

i think it has a good shot of becoming official considering everything cryptid beurocracy wise but i wont say that its 100% guaranteed

[jaunty galleon]

how's THIS for a hard boss blind

[lunar sluice]

its just a branch cause i have branch perms and im lazy

and i like people in the server being able to see the progress

[sleek granite]

playing a 13-letter word undebuffs 2 random suits

[harsh glacier]

balatr

[jaunty galleon]

it would break ties by picking the lower poker hand available

haven't played a pair yet? good news!

played everything but a straight flush? idiot

[mint spindle]

alright gusy now its time for the best joekr EVER!!1!!1

[digital glade]

boss blind: all face cards are drawn face down
me: laughs

[iron hull]

is this heat

[digital glade]

and I know EXACTLY where the modified cards are

[harsh glacier]

played everything but the secret hands

[jaunty galleon]

i might do most played poker hand instead. still mean but not that mean

only issue is that benefits high card again

[wide mulch]

is this bjork or am I tripping

[sleek granite]

yeah you probably dont want to include unrevealed secret hands for exactly the case mentioned above where aikoshen will kill you irl

[iron hull]

inspired by the line from the album:
"I'm a tree that grows (rank up) hearts (♥️) one for each that you take (discard)"

[iron hull]

yes this is bjork

[whole nova]

bjork she is so strange ❤️

[jaunty galleon]

no, fuck you, play REAL hands, silly pair players

[wide mulch]

bjorkmod incoming

[iron hull]

actually good idea

[sleek granite]

oh i like that actually

thats a cool blind

[harsh glacier]

my boss blinds kinda doo doo and probably too mean

[wide mulch]

I like that a lot

[sleek granite]

is the undebuffing before scoring

[whole nova]

the comprehensive record mod will come eventually

[harsh glacier]

this is so fucking bad late game

[wide mulch]

because I hate the forced pair/high card builds you have to run at gold stake for consistency

[sleek granite]

blind with a defense stat

[whole nova]

im just gonna fill it with albums i like and nobody else is allowed to submit theirs 5 downloads 0 stars

[digital glade]

that could go negative chips

or just 0

oh scored

[harsh glacier]

it can go negative

[wide mulch]

I want more jokers that benefit specially full house and flush house

[digital glade]

do you mean like the left part of the equation or the result of the equation?

[sleek granite]

i have a joker that benefits hands that contain but arent full house

[harsh glacier]

i should make it say score and not scored chips

[digital glade]

flush house

[jaunty galleon]

yeah

[sleek granite]

actually there might not be one for full house i forget i do have a cycle of those

[jaunty galleon]

wait for grab bag 0.8 trust

[sleek granite]

spectrum gaming

[kindred hollow]

what does "tried to compare number with table" mean? game keeps crashing bc of that

[solar sandal]

what mod does this btw

[zenith loom]

yes please normalize using the word "score" instead of "chips" 😭

its so confusing

[jaunty galleon]

overflow iirc?

ok least played poker hand is back

[wide mulch]

doesn't SMODS call it chips tho

[harsh glacier]

this is bad because it basically becomes the plant when you only have 1 rank in your entire deck

[zenith loom]

its called chips in the game code

[harsh glacier]

this is per hand btw

[zenith loom]

but its still confusig

[wide mulch]

I had this exact confusion earlier today when trying to make the "check blind requirements" condition for jokerforge lmao

[zenith loom]

im debating removing my finisher blinds

they kinda suck

[kindred hollow]

.

[jaunty galleon]

EVIL FUCKED UP BOSS BLINDS

[harsh glacier]

remove thy talisman

[sleek granite]

blind that makes you play the sans undertale fight before your hand scores and your mult is multiplied by your HP% after the fight

[digital glade]

oh god

[whole nova]

the game is trying to compare a number to a group of objects, which it can't do, so it crashes. check your mods and if you have talisman, that's probably the culprit

[harsh glacier]

blind that kills you irl

[whole nova]

in theory it would probably be pretty easy ngl, i'm sure you could find a love2d recreation of the sans fight

[zenith loom]

i need more fair, fun blinds

[sleek granite]

yeah absolutely

[kindred hollow]

so, i gotta uninstall talisman?

[sleek granite]

the trick is that sans WILL damage you at the end of the fight

[whole nova]

one of my friends fully recreated the entire deltarune battle system and is currently fully recreating the engine in love2d

[sleek granite]

like thats just how it works

[jaunty galleon]

i'm trying to make those but also these are intentionally a lot harder than normal

[whole nova]

(it's absolutely insane btw)

[zenith loom]

this could use a nerf tbh

[whole nova]

try that and see if it fixes the crash, or update the mod if possible

[wide mulch]

I actually don't mind a boss that debuffs pairs because realistically just play three of a kind

[kindred hollow]

ok ty

[jaunty galleon]

these are supposed to be somewhere inbetween bosses and finishers

[sinful latch]

you likely have some other mod that is conflicting with talisman
either find that mod and remove it or just remove talisman which is way simpler

[jaunty galleon]

three of a kind contains pairs

[sleek granite]

perma debuff pairs lol
no more jolliness

[wide mulch]

oh shit contains

[wind token]

Hi chat, I’m tired, can y’all read me a bed time story /j

[wide mulch]

once

[harsh glacier]

everyone dies

[kindred hollow]

how do i know if it conflicting with talisman?

[harsh glacier]

the end

you don't

[jaunty galleon]

the boss blind itself does nothing (debuffs after scoring), but it permadebuffs a bunch of your cards for the rest of the run until you can change their enhancements or destroy them

[harsh glacier]

its up until the table comparison crash that you know

[digital glade]

you get married

[sleek granite]

i would not recommend killing the player for not playing a High Card, Straight, (most) Flush, or Straight Flush but maybe thats just me

[sinful latch]

you could remove mods one by one until it stops crashing
but dont
just remove talisman

[wide mulch]

if u remove talisman and it works then it's talisman

[kindred hollow]

ok tysm

[wide mulch]

changing a cards properties un-debuffs it?

[digital glade]

okay some1 def needs to make a mod to remove the $ caps on hermit/temperance

[jaunty galleon]

it's not a hard counter tbf, i just needed a boss that permadebuffs a lot of cards, and at least it's not lady luck striking you down

[sleek granite]

oh the debuffing is after got it

[wide mulch]

utility joker that uncaps all caps on everything

[digital glade]

yes

[harsh glacier]

hermit is absolutely op with this lmao

[sleek granite]

sorry i dont type very fast on my phone lol

[wide mulch]

except interest maybe

[jaunty galleon]

yeah

useful for a few challenges

[digital glade]

it also needs to remove the caps on max jokers/consumables/hand size

[wide mulch]

genuinely never knew that haha

[wide mulch]

it also removes your kneecaps

[harsh glacier]

it also removes your soul

[digital glade]

stop the cap

[sleek granite]

good get it away from me

[wind token]

I love pancakes

[harsh glacier]

hi guys

i have never eaten waffles

[dense spindle]

wow this "forklift" joker is pretty good (+2 consumable slots)

i got like seven early immolates with erosion

[digital glade]

yoooo jimbo got forklift certified?

[dense spindle]

didn't realize my most abundant rank had only 5 cards that's really funny

[digital glade]

hot dawg

[wide mulch]

EXTRA CREDIT MENTIONED

[tall perch]

Makes sense, he needs something to deliver those e100 chips to peoples' houses.

[jaunty galleon]

The Discard One

[sleek granite]

hook 2

[jaunty galleon]

yeah it's def closest to hook

[wide mulch]

who, in this server made extra credit

[jaunty galleon]

be glad i already added pike as a finisher

[digital glade]

okay some1 make a spectral card to create a copy of all cards in hand

[sleek granite]

no

[digital glade]

make it super rare

like soul

[sleek granite]

that is a horrible idea

[digital glade]

it's a broken idea

[jaunty galleon]

i feel like that's actually not that good?

[digital glade]

and I'm here for big number get bigger

[digital glade]

see I'm playing with an all-negative deck

of steel cards

[jaunty galleon]

oh ok that's different then

[sleek granite]

statements dreamed up by the utterly mad

[jaunty galleon]

it's like an evil immolate

[digital glade]

it's not super good in all scenarios but could also be amazing

[sleek granite]

i say as if my mod doesnt have a joker thats just marble joker for negative cards

[jaunty galleon]

sure, you might have a few good cards to copy, but chances are you've also drawn junk

[digital glade]

okay fine if y'all aren't doing it then I am

before my current run dies

[limber sandal]

[tall perch]

I could imagine a case where, say, a semi-thinned deck might accept 4-5 extra junk cards in exchange for also getting 4-5 extra glass cards or something.

[digital glade]

time to call the mod shenani-gain

or shenan-again

which one?

[sleek granite]

what if i make a spectral that creates a copy of each card in your hand ||and puts them into your graveyard||

[digital glade]

stop stealing my ideas

[jaunty galleon]

I Think It's Time To Sell That Oops! All 6s

[digital glade]

:angy:

[pastel estuary]

first cryptid crash

[jaunty galleon]

i blame morefluff

[digital glade]

okay going with shenanagain

that name totally isn't going to be annoying to spell right and cause errors down the line

of course not

[tall perch]

The mod prefix can always just be shortened to 4-5 letters so the full spelling won't matter.

[zenith loom]

today i comitted a modding cardinal sin

[digital glade]

made it shen in code

[zenith loom]

(i could not use config for some reason)

[sleek granite]

gotta love blinds (no)

[digital glade]

if SMODS.Atlas then
  SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "shen",
    path = "shen_atlas.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
  }
else
  print("No atlas")
end

And I get this error, why?

[whole nova]

what's the if/else statement for..?

[digital glade]

was having errors with Atlas being nill earlier

oh its probably because I didn't fix that error

yeah apparently Atlas doesn't exist

agreed

[tall perch]

Why are you dividing by 0.25? That's the same as multiplying the score by 4.

[zenith loom]

was a placeholder

[digital glade]

and faster to multiply

[sleek granite]

so this is that you dont have the actual image file shen_atlas.png

[zenith loom]

it actually sets it to your current ante

[digital glade]

I do

and apparently SMODS.Atlas is null and that's the problem

[sleek granite]

ok then give it to balatro

[digital glade]

wdym

[sleek granite]

stop hoggin all the shen_atlas.png and share some

also there is #💻・modding-dev

[digital glade]

excuse me what

oh my god why am I STILL in the wrong channel

this already happened mb

[heady sparrow]

mrrrp

mrrow

[jaunty galleon]

are these hard but fair

[iron hull]

new jokers yay

[heady sparrow]

The Bull is impossible (since you can't play the least played hand if no hands are allowed LOL), and The Twins is just kinda bad

I'm not a fan of permadebuffs

[jaunty galleon]

the bull permits you to play the hand specified ofc

[sleek granite]

id make Bull give more than one option

[iron hull]

bull seems like a run killer since its gonna be straight flush 99% of the time

[jaunty galleon]

how often are you playing every single hand up to straight flush

i'm not, usually

[iron hull]

well more often than you'd think

except 4oaks

[jaunty galleon]

i'll have it not pick straight flush or the secret hands, to be fair

if it lands on a 4oak that's on you

[lunar sluice]

tbf how many runs do you actually play 3oak in

its not that bad

[iron hull]

when a 3oak is presented i usually play full house

#1 full house fan

[jaunty galleon]

yeah

full house my goat

[sleek granite]

it shouldnt be too bad but it sounds very easily like itll turn into "oh my deck literally cant play that"

[zenith loom]

im a complete idiot and forgot you can put whatever you want into loc_vars

this is way better

[jaunty galleon]

any others you think you don't think are fair to play against? keep in mind none of these show up in normal runs, you need to start shattering things

it's a balance mechanic more than anything

[sleek granite]

the rest seem challenging but possible to overcome

[jaunty galleon]

i like bull conceptually but

hm

how about the hand changes every play or discard

moving target

[sleek granite]

that could work

[jaunty galleon]

although now instead of challenging you to make the hand and being able to prep for the boss blind, you just give it away to the luck of the draw

[sleek granite]

yea

[old mango]

is this too powerful?

[sleek granite]

i was trying to words

but youre better at it

[jaunty galleon]

i guess if you get two blinds to prepare,with ephemeral cards making any hand that isn't a straight flush is totally possible with just 1 ephemeral card. or, if it's lategame and you have deckfixing so you can't make the required hand, you're probably able to skip the boss blind anyways

[sleek granite]

ohh if its visible before the blind maybe you can like skip a blind to reroll the hand

sounds wacky but...? :?

[jaunty galleon]

i like that idea tbf, but the least played hand is put there so that it doesn't pick something easy as shit like High Card

[wide mulch]

I think so

2x mult added per round

[old mango]

would 0.05 be better

[jaunty galleon]

i want you to see like, 3oak or 4oak and have to think about your approach a little

[sleek granite]

unless you have never hihg carded?

[jaunty galleon]

fat chance

[wide mulch]

I would say so, but I'm not a balancing expert lol

[iron hull]

is this interesting

[lunar sluice]

i usually dont high card tbh unless my discards are shitty

[sleek granite]

same

[lunar sluice]

but i also dont really need the consistency because i always stop at ante 8

[jaunty galleon]

in every run i have to high card like, at least once

[lunar sluice]

#1 flush fan

[solar sandal]

True ...

[lunar sluice]

when i was looking up balatro guides when i first started playing everyone always said dont do flush builds but i do flush builds way more than i did then tbh

[jaunty galleon]

also, i do want some visual indicator about which blinds have shattered and into what. if you know bull's in the pool you'll have some prep time

[lunar sluice]

the best way to do flushes is aggressively fix your deck or just dont do any deck fixing

[wide mulch]

I love that album

[lunar sluice]

if you only fix your deck a little youll probably get fucked over by rng more than if you dont do anything and 1 specific suit is always easy to make a flush for

cause of blinds

#1 ancient joker fan

[whole nova]

hell heah

yeah*

gotta love lauryn

[iron hull]

[lunar sluice]

ancient joker deck fixing fans when i just do not modify my deck in any way and profit

[whole nova]

album jokers mod... i would make you if i had art skill...

[lunar sluice]

i mean that too

but its not even needed

[iron hull]

thats what im making :P

[lunar sluice]

flushes are a strategy everyone always goes for because they are easy

[whole nova]

peak

[iron hull]

i'm not that good at pixel art tho so i cant unfortunately make more complex covers

trying though

[whole nova]

well i always have suggestions lmfao

(also can do a little programming depending on what you may need)

[iron hull]

rn i made Civilisation (Kero Kero Bonito), Homogenic (Bjork), Fetch The Bolt Cutters (Fiona Apple), Brat (Charli XCX) and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

[wide mulch]

mbdtf should be easy

[whole nova]

i mean, they look pretty awesome to me

[jaunty galleon]

woa how did you manage brat

[iron hull]

[lunar sluice]

yes

[whole nova]

maybe slightly risque lol

[jaunty galleon]

teehee

god it's such a green cover

[iron hull]

[iron hull]
