[buoyant kestrel]

[rustic helm]

[gentle raptor]

high card is level high

[winged prism]

Start with every deck, play it to open it

[thick dust]

[dire meadow]

but there's something better that no one has every attempted before

[winged prism]

Highest Priestess

[thick dust]

wheres that one reddit post of someone playing balatro but with an actual card deck and a calculator

[buoyant kestrel]

amazing

[rustic helm]

playing uno rn

[thick dust]

wait that sounds so fun

[thick dust]

what the fuck am i looking at

[buoyant kestrel]

amazing

[gentle raptor]

greedy little german boy who's full of xmult

[rustic helm]

its a deck skin and a take ownership thing

[thick dust]

slaps xmult shaped belly

[gentle raptor]

I'm sick. I'm horribly sick because I've eaten nothing but grease and pepsi for a week now. I hate my parents they dont feed me properly

[rustic helm]

so its basically vanilla balatro

[gentle raptor]

That too!

[dapper helm]

can the mult cards be the draw 4

[violet venture]

BRITISH

[buoyant kestrel]

do you see it

the 50

that is the stone card

this is an order

[dapper helm]

why is the uno deck dark mode

[rustic helm]

sure bro

[buoyant kestrel]

50th anny uno

[rustic helm]

+50 chips
stone suit

[umbral pilot]

monopoly joker

[dapper helm]

wait the 50 coin as gold seal? 🤔

[buoyant kestrel]

true

[thick dust]

why. why would anyone want that.

[violet venture]

Project Moon mod

[honest zephyr]

instead of "Nope!" it's "Bloody 'ell!"

anyway i had the idea of making this image to respond to a message instead of typing out the response myself

[dapper helm]

homestuck pfp but hasn't even read it...

[buoyant kestrel]

conceptually goofy uno version

[thick dust]

does bro know about the sharpie bath

[buoyant kestrel]

remove a game mechanic and thats it

[honest zephyr]

unfortunately, i've heard about it.

[buoyant kestrel]

i mean i think some other fucked up shit is happening

but

[dapper helm]

finally, a colorblind friendly version

[honest zephyr]

...most modern uno versions have symbols on them for colorblind people.

[thick dust]

the saddest thing is is that i know about it not from being in the homestuck fandom but being chronically online on tumblr for the past 10 years

[buoyant kestrel]

oh what the fuck

double block??

[dapper helm]

i'm going to ignore this for the joke

[honest zephyr]

there's a binding of isaac mod that adds a bunch of homestuck themed items

[tacit oriole]

can i say some mod ideas inthis channel?

[honest zephyr]

and one item references the sharpie bath

[dapper helm]

whats the crosshair? do you shoot someone twice?

[honest zephyr]

+2 cards to a person of your choice

[buoyant kestrel]

there is a B.U.G. and its an actual gun

[thick dust]

death to whoever came up with that

[honest zephyr]

it's quite literally called "Sharpie"

[dapper helm]

wait is that reverse +4

thats fucked up

[buoyant kestrel]

(BUG being big ugly gimmick)

or something of that nature

i don't remember what it exactly stands for

[honest zephyr]

it has a unique trollsona costume for every character too

[dapper helm]

do you have images on hand?

[winged prism]

That sounds like something that would be in Fiend Folio

[rustic helm]

wheres reverse + block? (it exists)

[buoyant kestrel]

idk

[winged prism]

Fiend Folio has multiple homestuck references

[buoyant kestrel]

this is the marketing material

kill them ig

[honest zephyr]

fiend folio has the Perfectly Generic Object

[rain orbit]

Shadow jimbo

[rustic helm]

im not doing all that

[honest zephyr]

and the cosplay beggar

[buoyant kestrel]

as a break from uno

[winged prism]

There's also that house-sburb-logo thing, I think it's unlocked for completing a challenge?

[buoyant kestrel]

guess how you play this

[dapper helm]

i remember seeing that i think

[buoyant kestrel]

TRICK QUESTION! its just two games in one box

[dapper helm]

i need this

[buoyant kestrel]

but i know theres something insane like this

i just failed at finding

[rain orbit]

Get it
Cuz like
Shadow WingGaster

[dapper helm]

that won't stop me from making up some horrible scrabble but with dice idea

[dire meadow]

guys i have bad news

i'm probably gonna add exotic styled jokers to my mod 😔

[winged prism]

Okay its not quite it but still

[honest zephyr]

i think that's meant to be a monopoly house?

[buoyant kestrel]

the thing

[dire meadow]

ain't that a item from fiend folio

[honest zephyr]

dad's home+ is also a medieval torture method so we don't talk about that.

[winged prism]

Oh, then I'm being a dumbass

[winged prism]

Yeah

On fiend folio wiki there's 9 pages mentioning homestuck

[honest zephyr]

no i've read like. a bit

[buoyant kestrel]

peakest uno fan mod

[honest zephyr]

not all but a bit

[dire meadow]

> infinity
> look inside
> finite

[winged prism]

I've read all of base homestuck and a bit of epilogue but I don't remember shit

[umbral pilot]

mine

[dire meadow]

>craft

[buoyant kestrel]

i

[honest zephyr]

they have up to d20

but where's the d7?

where's the d12?

where's the spindown dice?

[buoyant kestrel]

true

[dapper helm]

i like to imagine the eye is just staring at the other players instead of looking at their hand

[buoyant kestrel]

gimme a coin

[rocky axle]

things appear to be working quite well

[honest zephyr]

what, pray tell, does that edition do....

[buoyant kestrel]

bloomed

[rocky axle]

oversaturated doubles the value of everything

for exmaple

[honest zephyr]

oh sweet jesus

[rocky axle]

10 cards now give 20 chips

hanging chad triggers 4 times instea dof twice

[thick dust]

super sayin ahh jimbo

[rocky axle]

SO IT TRIGGERS 12 TIMES

[rain orbit]

❌

[honest zephyr]

wait hang on let me check the cryptid modded balatro wiki page rq

[umbral pilot]

mmm high steaks

[winged prism]

Why si there a Joker hat

[umbral pilot]

I love high steaks

[winged prism]

Si

[honest zephyr]

erm well you can get the value of common jokers higher

[rain orbit]

Super saiyans have blue eyes

I think

[umbral pilot]

anyways hi im new to mods, what do you recommend

[thick dust]

damn didnt know i was gonna strike a nerve or smth

[buoyant kestrel]

jokers were invented by localthunk

its true

[dapper helm]

thats the hat of losing, you draw triple the cards with it on

[winged prism]

Of course

[rain orbit]

Super saiyans have blue eyes

[honest zephyr]

if you have cardsleeves along with cryptid, you can take the oversaturated deck AND the beige sleeve

[rocky axle]

oh things are getting WAYY BETTER

[rocky axle]

cryptid mod if you like chaos

[umbral pilot]

Do I need to install jokerforge to play with mods?

[dire meadow]

why does your balatro look like that

[umbral pilot]

is it on jokerforge?

[dire meadow]

play my slop

[rocky axle]

its a github install

[winged prism]

Play my slop

[dapper helm]

you need modthespire and baselib

[dire meadow]

meth: calling me joked?

[rocky axle]

welcome to the oversatured deck 🙂

(your eyes will hate you)

[umbral pilot]

jokerforge?

[dire meadow]

[umbral pilot]

do I need lovely for jokerforge to work

and how do I install it

[rocky axle]

dont you also need lovely to do mods as well?

[rain orbit]

Oversaturated edition probably

[thick dust]

oh damn rip (i never watched dragon ball)

[umbral pilot]

i dont have a credit card

[rocky axle]

correct!

[dapper helm]

oh wow

[dire meadow]

what if there was a enchantment that never scored

[dapper helm]

[rain orbit]

[buoyant kestrel]

lets cast some spells

[rain orbit]

Gold cards before you unlock golden ticket

[winged prism]

Enchant my Aces

[rocky axle]

gold stake is no longer a problem

[sterile nymph]

everything up to the second joker is not implemented.

[dire meadow]

it's like their in some king of... little big planet

[rocky axle]

oh. oh i see

[umbral pilot]

whgat do I use to make my game faster

jokerforge makes it really laggy

[dapper helm]

i never considered that little big planet could be balatro

[winged prism]

Fly my Aces

Please

[dapper helm]

next year

[winged prism]

That's soon

[dapper helm]

yes

[umbral pilot]

dont sy that

[thick dust]

h o w

ohhhh its cryptid nvm

[rocky axle]

okay so theres a black hole astral card that will put EVERY level from other hands into th emos tplayed hand

and somehow pair is my most played

funny considering i play flushed more than anything

[buoyant kestrel]

did you know that theres about two trillion ports of existing games

don't pay for anything ever again

[rocky axle]

but i cant play pairs now

[buoyant kestrel]

pairs are still good probably

math it out

hmm

1 mult

[rocky axle]

pairs are at 249

[buoyant kestrel]

insane chips though

may still be worth

[sterile nymph]

if only i knew what frida and the others would do.

[dapper helm]

what if i want to support the people making the games

[rocky axle]

but i play three of a kind and still won

[buoyant kestrel]

then do it ig

[rocky axle]

i can play literally anything and ill still win

[dire meadow]

i hate money, so other people must hate money

[dapper helm]

thank you for the advice ❤️

[buoyant kestrel]

there are 959 versions of uno

on that workshop

[dapper helm]

doesn't regular uno come preinstalled

[buoyant kestrel]

with your xbox yeah

[umbral pilot]

next lovely update will probably be a paid expansion just fyi

[dire meadow]

BasilSob

[umbral pilot]

enjoy your hoverboards, peasant

[dire meadow]

i have the oldest xbox known to man, and i don't have uno!

[rocky axle]

i need more money

[winged prism]

Oh, I guess I'll be using Balatro Plus patching tools instead ig

[umbral pilot]

you have to pay for those too, they're locked behind the patreon lol

[dire meadow]

what about

using 7zip

to open up balatro

and manually code patch stuff

[umbral pilot]

7zip is paid

[dire meadow]

BasilSob

[buoyant kestrel]

99,800 workshop entries

[umbral pilot]

it's ok the paid expansion will include lovelygpt

[winged prism]

Well duh, but they're better

[thick dust]

i think u should make ur screen brighter its a bit dark

[dire meadow]

kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you kills you

[rocky axle]

its possible

[umbral pilot]

you cant kill me because you're a glutton

for the hoberboard

[buoyant kestrel]

i should make a mod that just patches the whole game out

no more game

[thick dust]

why do u want to murder ur eyeballs

[winged prism]

Balatro Plus tools are locally harvested

[rocky axle]

chat do i axe yorick for bullet

[buoyant kestrel]

no

why would you

[rocky axle]

because gold stake

[thick dust]

fair

[buoyant kestrel]

thats boss only

[rocky axle]

8x mult

but yes only bosses...

[buoyant kestrel]

boss only means its lowkey useless

unless you skipmax

which you may or may not can afford to do

(but also yorick SCALES!!!!!)

so it is still a bad idea

[rocky axle]

yeah but oversat screws over yorick scaling

i have to discrd 46 CARDS in order to get two muilt

[buoyant kestrel]

i mean its still better

[thick dust]

get more discards

[buoyant kestrel]

just evaluate if you want to do that grind

and that yeah

[umbral pilot]

ninja banana

[dapper helm]

this is a great idea

[timid arch]

yes?

[dapper helm]

call it "immolate"

[rocky axle]

wow

yorick might have to die

wait its rental perish.

[timid arch]

sacrifice the yorick

lock will show up in 5 rounds trust

[buoyant kestrel]

surely

[winged prism]

Poor Yorick

[rocky axle]

OH OKAY

ILL TAKE IT

[buoyant kestrel]

replica gamble

do it

[rocky axle]

already done

[granite forum]

i like how this is so below average

even for like

modest

[rocky axle]

it is?

[buoyant kestrel]

yeah

horribly so

shittiest luck ever ig

[granite forum]

i mean 902 dollars

that sounds like bad skill imo

[buoyant kestrel]

balatrue

[timid arch]

It's still fine, it's just on the low end of what's possible with cryptid

[buoyant kestrel]

honestly there ain't no practical difference between modest and mainline
and madness is also basically just mainline but with built in unlock all

the gamesets don't do anything lmao

[timid arch]

money is doing great for no econ and 5 rentals

[buoyant kestrel]

tweaks for a couple jokers pretty much

like i don't think you should be able to see a single arrow on modest

[granite forum]

yeah

[timid arch]

?

[thick dust]

any non-cryptid mods that have ^ mult or anything with ^ so i can see if it's just cryptid crashing for me when anything ^ happens?

[rustic helm]

what about random slop mod

[violet venture]

Aiko

There's a few jokers with an ^ mult focus

Lantern being a good example

[leaden vector]

What in tarnations

[winged prism]

Imagine

A mod

[past lava]

woof

[buoyant kestrel]

why so expunged

[timid arch]

what if there was a card that interacted with played but unscoring cards

extremely original idea that surely no mod has ever looked at before

[winged prism]

Never before

[timid arch]

I got another idea

everybody knows xmult

but what about

xchips

[winged prism]

Seems like a concept someone could really fixate on

[violet venture]

...

[keen knoll]

xhandsize

[timid arch]

fire emoji

[errant monolith]

yeah looks like anything ^ just crashes the game for me

[winged prism]

Are there any opinions on con air?

I hope for at least two

[dire meadow]

what if it was a legal move to play story of undertale in #⚙・modding-general

[meager snow]

Too late snans dustale (the bad version) you’re memories are all gone

Hit bro with the izanami

[dusty token]

hmmmm

[meager snow]

Then again this implies a GOOD version of dustale exists lol.

[buoyant kestrel]

soundcloud is the earth of the ut/dr music community

[rain orbit]

People lost the plot on it so much that when I read a document chronicling canon facts I was in near shock about the stuff even I didn't know

[meager snow]

One of my 8 opinions: Undertale AUs all suck actually. Every single one of them.

[rain orbit]

What about this

[meager snow]

Except Undertale Yellow if you even count that as an AU but I honestly don’t as it’s more an imagining of events left ambiguous than altering anything existing

[buoyant kestrel]

even all five of mine ☹️

rip

[meager snow]

I don’t know yours

But every single Undertale AU I have seen is somehow ass

Without fail

[buoyant kestrel]

i don't know the exact count since some vanished but its four/five

[buoyant kestrel]

ts!underswap

peak shit trust

not finished however

[meager snow]

Would need to look into it more tbh

[meager snow]

And Underswap is legit a neat idea just needs good execution

[rain orbit]

You have to recall that these things are made by amateurs, the big leagues are made by semi-professionals

[buoyant kestrel]

also some king of tory fox

[winged prism]

ts!underswap is actually a great take imo

[buoyant kestrel]

https://toryfox.neocities.org/underswap/home

[rustic helm]

fory sos

[meager snow]

Again dunno a lot about TS

Tory fox is pretty funny tho

[buoyant kestrel]

sans got a genocide battle

ts is goated

[rain orbit]

I guarantee you a lot of the info you think you know regarding stuff is actually not true

[meager snow]

I am being a bit harsh for the bit plenty of AUs are just.. fine. Like they’re not actively infuriating.

[buoyant kestrel]

literally first thing after ruins too

[meager snow]

Worst offenders are usually the overly edgy ones

[winged prism]

Play the demo it's pretty fun gameplay-wise too

[meager snow]

From Underfell to every single dust whatever

[buoyant kestrel]

very true

[buoyant kestrel]

https://soundcloud.com/swapfell-i-hate-you

you need to observe

[meager snow]

I hate you from what I have seen of it is an outlier

[buoyant kestrel]

https://gamejolt.com/games/Swapfeller/778349

[meager snow]

Remember I’m speaking of the majority here, of course you can pull up the actually good diamonds in the rough

[buoyant kestrel]

not really unless you're talking about fells as a whole

i've seen like two million aus i've liked

[meager snow]

I was speaking of fells there

[rain orbit]

I can tell you don't know much about the true facts regarding them

[buoyant kestrel]

fells as a whole don't get much attention

so there isn't going to be as much good stuff

since there isn't much stuff

[meager snow]

Most Undertale AUs are just… fine. IMO. I was playing it up for the bit.

[rain orbit]

"One of the good ones" head ahh

[meager snow]

But I dunno none of them really grasp me

Like none has quite truly hooked me in

Best they get is a passing “neat”

I hate you is interesting due to its unique visual style and story but is incomplete

[rain orbit]

It'd do wonders to not grade them the same way you would a professional work

[meager snow]

I mean thing is it’s kinda hard not to compare an Undertale AU to Undertale

[rain orbit]

I don't mean comparing them to something

[buoyant kestrel]

most good takes are incomplete since they're good enough for the game grindset

[meager snow]

Yeah which is kinda sad but also understandable

[rain orbit]

I mean the quality in general and whether or not it captures one

[buoyant kestrel]

or mysterious disappearance

those are the options

[meager snow]

I think only one that ever really got me hyped was Undertale Yellow and again I’m not sure if I’d count that as an AU in the typical sense

[buoyant kestrel]

https://soundcloud.com/hallohack/tracks

also this

[meager snow]

Since it kinda does its own original things instead of altering the existing

[rain orbit]

Many conventional aus also create new things

[buoyant kestrel]

missing scene type shit

[rain orbit]

What sets yellow apart is that it tries to insert itself as a prequel to undertale

[buoyant kestrel]

missing scene being when you write an unseen scene

[meager snow]

I think I just prefer more originality, a different version of the same character is still just that. Don’t be afraid to distance from the original work a bit.

[buoyant kestrel]

this is just that

[meager snow]

Hence why I Hate You also sticks out

[rustic helm]

i have a question, are there any unnecessary lines here?

[quartz socket]

My favourite undertale au is ||deltarune||

[dusty token]

idk what causes the blind ui to bug so much rn

[rustic helm]

ok

[buoyant kestrel]

it was very little to do with undertale

except that it is a deltarune prequel

[winged prism]

Oh there's also this huge ass webcomic called Inverted Fate ig. It is NOT an underswap take, people do tend to think of it that way

[meager snow]

Yeah I think that’s what an AU needs to really capture my heart tbh, just don’t be afraid to actually make your own thing a bit.

[buoyant kestrel]

inverted fate is a swap

[rustic helm]

[buoyant kestrel]

not UNDERSWAP

[rain orbit]

People do that plenty, you just keep throwing out details regarding individual ones because they're generally blending together for you

[buoyant kestrel]

theres an au that just removes sans lmao

no more sans

its so funny

[meager snow]

That is fair enough and in part I feel the waters have been muddied a bit in my mind due to all the similar takes

[rustic helm]

no more ice cream

[winged prism]

Whatever the fuck happens to sans in deltarune just didn't happen

[meager snow]

How many more swaps before I crash out and go back in time to strangle Toby Fox

[buoyant kestrel]

https://soundcloud.com/absence_official/014-lorem-ipsum

[rustic helm]

🤹

[buoyant kestrel]

sans theme

[buoyant kestrel]

so much is different though

since sans isn't there

[meager snow]

It’s also probably worth mentioning I’m not like a super huge Undertale fan, I like it a good bit and acknowledge it is legit an incredible game but I wouldn’t say I’m deep in the fandom

[rain orbit]

Bruh

[buoyant kestrel]

papyrus isn't confident at all anymore and KNOWS something is up

[meager snow]

But I used to be into it more and was around for the AU craze

[buoyant kestrel]

like uncanny valley type shit when seeing his house which clearly should contain two people

[meager snow]

Younger me had to witness the horrors of Glitchtale and Underverse

[buoyant kestrel]

https://soundcloud.com/absence_official/040-river

also this

theres another river person now

wonder who that could represent

[meager snow]

Which is also probably part of what made my distaste for AUs in general

I was exposed to pure unfettered ass

[buoyant kestrel]

theres a comic slowly being made

[granite forum]

meey crhrismats

[buoyant kestrel]

gimme a second hold on

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fGA3BalPG5YRdBPZiqHsaBDHDjyy9VNGrcb-sV09ocI/edit?tab=t.0

[rain orbit]

It's like complaining that all pills do the same thing and saying you're not a doctor when your pharmacist starts explaining

[meager snow]

Look again I was being a bit dramatic and I am not a very serious person, I don’t hate Undertale AUs or anything just a lot of them look either overly edgy, unoriginal, or both.

[umbral pilot]

blundertale

haha

[buoyant kestrel]

the edgyness doesn't even exist anymore really

thats like

[rain orbit]

Do you or do you not like them

[buoyant kestrel]

done

[meager snow]

And then there’s the whole multiverse thing which makes me want to [REDACTED]

[buoyant kestrel]

[meager snow]

The answer can be both believe it or not

[quartz socket]

Human.I remember you’re genocides

[rain orbit]

It never disappeared, it just branched

[buoyant kestrel]

where lmao i can't find it

[meager snow]

And again I think I have some kind of trauma from my old days deeper in the Undertale fandom when the fan base was at peak shit

[buoyant kestrel]

(maybe it went into the shitposts...)

[meager snow]

IDK honestly my view is likely a bit dated should give more recent AUs a fair look

[rain orbit]

The nonchalant kind or the creepy kind

[umbral pilot]

idk anything about Undertale

cool game

[meager snow]

But also not as into Undertale as I used to be so I just don’t really care that much

[buoyant kestrel]

oh you mean that

i know about those

[winged prism]

Its like he's in some king of...

[meager snow]

Sounds like some neat ones have cropped up tho

And also the brainrot is undeniably funny.

Human I remember you’re Glitchtale writing

[rain orbit]

Like I said earlier the best way to approach it is to keep in mind that they're made by unprofessionals, they all have their own vision meant to either build off of or directly improve other things
Many do end up being similar and/or badly written but that's because visions align and amateurs still screw up sometimes

[keen knoll]

hey guys joker idea

theoretical shredder (common)

a random card in the first discard is considered to be destroyed```

[winged prism]

I love how some people absolutely seethe when someone treats Deltarune as a better game than Undertale

Like pack it up buddy

It's been 10 years

[meager snow]

When a developer gets better with practice and time

[rain orbit]

Deltarune is undeniably better than undertale

[buoyant kestrel]

it is though

[meager snow]

(Literally inconceivable)

[winged prism]

It absolutely is

[buoyant kestrel]

objectively within the art department at least

like holy crap

[meager snow]

Undertale was already a great game Deltarune is just sprouting wings and taking off that peak

[quartz socket]

I absolutely seethe when people play deltarune rirst like come on

[buoyant kestrel]

undertale was quite literally practice

like actually

[meager snow]

Which is crazy for how good it is lol

[quartz socket]

Yeah

[buoyant kestrel]

he wanted to make deltarune first

[rain orbit]

The difference between deltarune and undertale is that deltarune is harder to make stuff with because it's incomplete and has a more rigid story

[buoyant kestrel]

from the dream wing gaster gave him

[meager snow]

Toby watching in pure confusion as his practice for the game he actually wants to make rakes in millions of dollars:

[meager snow]

Love how everyone thinks Gaster is gonna like show up as this reality warping final boss in Deltarune when he mostly exists in minor motifs and possible speculation

[buoyant kestrel]

hes not gonna be a boss

hes there though

[winged prism]

He's gonna show up as green

[buoyant kestrel]

you talk to him

you cannot deny me that

[errant monolith]

calling it gaster shows up as a hamburger bun vendor

[buoyant kestrel]

and he is green

(green is actually a pretty solid theory)

(it means nothing)

(hes probably green though)

[umbral pilot]

green

[buoyant kestrel]

(like how sans is blue and pap is orange)

[umbral pilot]

green reminds me of something

[granite forum]

we dk what he even looks like

[umbral pilot]

or someone

[granite forum]

we just have a good guess

[winged prism]

When the COPIES are MONOCHROME

[rain orbit]

GMoney

[meager snow]

I’m not saying him being a prominent figure is impossible, but imagine how funny it would be if it turns out he was just the egg guy and the voice talking to you at the start is someone else entirely then the eggs like IDK end up making an omelette that’s just a good healing item

[buoyant kestrel]

the egg guy is not gaster

it would not make sense at this point lmao

[meager snow]

Fair nuff

[rain orbit]

What if they egg guy is humptey dumptey

[umbral pilot]

egg

[buoyant kestrel]

the egg guy is weird though

[meager snow]

But still imagine how funny it would be if gaster was a nothing burger

[granite forum]

hold up

[rain orbit]

catstare~1

[buoyant kestrel]

they got beef

silksong sea of sorrow more like deltarune ur mom of tomorrow

[buoyant kestrel]

egg guy gonna throw down with gaster frfr

[rain orbit]

Shin megami tensei black ooze

[winged prism]

I remember watching a video about how Deltarune is the Project Libitina... That was weird and very far-fetched. Obviously.

[meager snow]

The egg guy is actually Gaster’s old roommate (waaay back, before Gaster was even royal scientist) and Gaster never fucking did chores

[buoyant kestrel]

gaster just gets pulled behind the tree and you can still never see the egg guy

but you can see gaster get whipped around

[rain orbit]

What if the egg guy is one of the chickens from my backyard

[granite forum]

deltarune is tomorrow silly

[meager snow]

Oh yeah right wasn’t that like the game the DDLC devs teased then just nothing became of it

[granite forum]

not that other thing

[meager snow]

That was weird

[rain orbit]

(I have like 3 dozen eggs without needing to buy them)

[meager snow]

Wonder what happened with that

[winged prism]

It was like teased to become something in 2018? Wow, the same year as deltarune chapter 1... So connected so unironically!!

[rain orbit]

[meager snow]

Shame too cuz the way they teased it was lowkey sick

Hidden textures of a character in the game files along with lore previews is crazy work

i cant believe toby fox invented the idea of knights

mike

[winged prism]

Tricky Tony inventing the name Mike

[meager snow]

Remember pre-chapter 3 when everyone made Mike the antagonist and it lowkey spawned some fire fan concepts lol

[meager snow]

Then we got ch 3 and Mike is just Tenna’s schizo delusion

[winged prism]

Which one

[buoyant kestrel]

the one from before

[rustic helm]

what do you guys think

[meager snow]

Not to be confused with mic. Who is very much real, and is inside the walls

[buoyant kestrel]

mike was real at some point
we know this now

confirmed

from a newsletter of all things

[meager snow]

Oh neat

[buoyant kestrel]

yeah t hat one

the one with the ass comment

[ornate bone]

THe joke is about the three mikes.

[rustic helm]

guys?

[meager snow]

Also I think I recall a literal microphone PNG showing up in the dark briefly near where that secret fight is

[ornate bone]

god you can't read can you.

then again you lot allowed shayy to rise to power

[winged prism]

Yeah, in the room you appear in after the fight ends

[ornate bone]

so who can really be blamed?

[meager snow]

Implying the real Mike is a realistic giant microphone which is honestly the funniest shit

That’s just my headcanon now

[buoyant kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmiprtB197A&vl=en

[solemn kraken]

Yo quick thing I forgot to announce this bs here, I updated the Neco-Arc joker replacer mod:
https://github.com/Matowaar/Replace-All-Jokers-with-Neco-Arc
That's about it, merry Xmas everyone

[winged prism]

No the ass comment is genuinely 100% is about three mikes 😭

[buoyant kestrel]

mikes ass: variable (now)
tennas ass: variable (he can change size)
mike (from before)s ass: probably somewhat variable (just the vibes i get)

[dire meadow]

real or fake

[winged prism]

Can Tenna choose which body parts to change?

[buoyant kestrel]

i mean

tenna can choose how the squash/stretch happens

it isn't always a 1:1 downscale

so it wouldn't be a stretch

[solemn kraken]

fakerinho' 🗣️

[winged prism]

It would be a stretch if he decided so

[buoyant kestrel]

indeed

[dire meadow]

what if you did this for every mod ever

[buoyant kestrel]

i imagine tenna could just make his head really....
wait a minute

SPAMTON HAS IT TOO

[dire meadow]

extreme spamton close up ❌
big head mode ✅

[solemn kraken]

I was deadass thinking about it, like uploading the full ver of the mod to Gumroad as an optional ¨support me¨ thing, and if it reached X number of sales I would do it again but with the entire Cryptid mod

[dire meadow]

cryptid slop

do it for uhhhhhhh

my mod ujel

[meager snow]

I mean his body doesn’t match proportionally, so I do think Spamton can just canonically warp himself

[solemn kraken]

there's content there like, hundreds of jokers

decent amount

[buoyant kestrel]

both tenna and spamton can do so

[dire meadow]

why couldn't he just see past the dark with that ability

[meager snow]

Can’t forget the endless wideness when you choose WRONG

[buoyant kestrel]

they do not have to care about proportions

[meager snow]

Wideton my beloved

[meager snow]

You see, you are now making the mistake of assuming Spamton is capable of a “thought”

[buoyant kestrel]

also its so funny because the fandom willed the mikes into existence

they would not exist otherwise

[winged prism]

I hope snowgrave chapter 5 will have a boomer shooter minigame 😛

[buoyant kestrel]

spamton is only capable of scamming and endless terror

nothing else

[buoyant kestrel]

might actually

[worn rain]

merry cristma

[meager snow]

No thoughts in brain

[buoyant kestrel]

theres evidence

[meager snow]

Just [#1 rated salesman 1997]

[buoyant kestrel]

not even kidding we might snowgrave the hometown

if not in 5, 6

[meager snow]

Kris crashes out and pulls an American classic

[solemn kraken]

havent tried Entropy yet, could do

[winged prism]

Yeah the thing with like the secret board KINDA mirroring hometown layout

[meager snow]

People calling Cryptid slop (they have never made a Balatro mod much less one of that scale)

Also isn’t like kinda the entire point of Cryptid to be a bit stupid

[buoyant kestrel]

the more important part is all of the enemies

[solemn kraken]

it would have to get to that milestone I mentioned tho, doing the entire base game for free was something I wanted to do real bad but it was time-consuming enough to be an overall loss for me

[buoyant kestrel]

the fact that the layout matches somewhat helps

[meager snow]

It’s kinda a giant shitpost, an endless slew of in-jokes and fun ideas. And honestly that has its own charm to me.

[solemn kraken]

so at this point it would be more like ¨if ppl actually want it¨ kinda deal

[winged prism]

It would be so funny if it was a boomer shooter minigame where you have to shoot Ice Shocks at everyone tho...

[dire meadow]

cryptid slop

[buoyant kestrel]

true

[rain orbit]

Guys is this peak

[dire meadow]

what if there was a 100 cryptid splinters that removed the bad design choices

[buoyant kestrel]

(though i think the snowgrave route as shown in the MANTLE game is a trap)

[ornate bone]

Cryptid is for maniacs who want to see the game scream and shake.

[meager snow]

I won’t pretend Cryptid is amazing or anything but it accomplishes it’s goal if you ask me which is just kinda being funny and wacky

[winged prism]

Man doomori was fun back in the day

[dire meadow]

omori 👀

[meager snow]

And pushing Balatro to its absolute limit

[buoyant kestrel]

(and i also think you can side step this)

[winged prism]

I'm technically present in doomori 2

[dire meadow]

yea but that can be filled in with other mods

eemult and other wunk

[meager snow]

Look if you ask me the greatest sin a game/mod can commit is being boring, and Cryptid certainly does NOT do that

Yeah it is probably a bit overhyped

[solemn kraken]

is there a way to disable some jokers from cryptid btw? I have fun turning it on from time to time but lately I've been consistently pulling jokers that just insta-win the run, like the Discord legendaries

[dire meadow]

cryptid does that sometimes

[solemn kraken]

And at that point I just reset

[buoyant kestrel]

.

[dire meadow]

slop run where you just play high card and win

and then you go all the way back to ante 1 so its even more unfun

[meager snow]

I just view it in the context that it’s.. well, really not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest. It’s kinda a meme mod. And it is pretty damn funny in its pure chaos.

[buoyant kestrel]

its not very chaotic when you get a run going

[meager snow]

Really? It isn’t to me.

[buoyant kestrel]

its the same thing forever

until the end of time

[meager snow]

Huh

[buoyant kestrel]

because you get a build and thats it

you're good

[dire meadow]

jangling keys may move differently but its still jangling keys

[meager snow]

I just.. end the run?…

[buoyant kestrel]

time to watch the calc screens

[meager snow]

And go try to find another wacky build

[dire meadow]

Calcuating
Time Spent Calcuating: math.huge() seconds

[rain orbit]

Bizarrtro

[buoyant kestrel]

a majority of people will just run it out

[winged prism]

I made like the resource pack that replaces totem of undying with Doomori and that was included in the ending where Doomori gets shitton of sequels

[buoyant kestrel]

until like ante 16

[meager snow]

I mean fun thing about it is experimenting imo, so many fun synergies and wacky shenanigans you can get up to, sure they usually lead to the same endpoint (very very big number and a run that could go on forever if you wanted it too) but the journey there is the fun part

[dire meadow]

(which is actually ante -2)

[buoyant kestrel]

true

[meager snow]

Yeah maybe it’s cuz I play and think of it differently

[buoyant kestrel]

the ante fuckery esp pisses me off

i don't need the game to be easier

i'm playing cryptid

[meager snow]

I just kinda quit when I know this could go on forever

[dire meadow]

what if there was a joker that scaled with the blind size

[rain orbit]

Mod where negative antes make you need to reach negative score requirement and you get a prize for reaching ante -8

[meager snow]

Tho I do agree it could probably do with less setting the ante to 0

[magic brook]

No

[winged prism]

What if there was a Joker

[dire meadow]

and it was like

[meager snow]

Again I don’t think Cryptid is peak or anything I just think it’s a good shitpost

[dire meadow]

+4 mult at the start

then

[meager snow]

And also number go up

[winged prism]

What if there were... Flying Aces........

[dire meadow]

+4 mult but slightly better...

[solemn kraken]

Imho Cryptid suffers from being a meme mod in the sense that if you start to win, you win by such an amount of overkill that it removes any reason to keep playing that run, you know you just won

[magic brook]

Best i can do is

[solemn kraken]

It'd be better if you had fat wins that you earn, instead of insta-winning

[dire meadow]

what if there was a mod that punished you for overscoring 👀

[rain orbit]

Saitama syndrome

[solemn kraken]

Literally

[meager snow]

I mean it does literally state it is unbalanced. But yeah could probably do with being less easy.

[buoyant kestrel]

i like it in the sense someone would like watching a nuclear bomb dropping

i don't wanna be near it but its cool to look at

[meager snow]

It is just kinda fun to see how far you can push it yeah

[magic brook]

+blind size^½ chips

[solemn kraken]

Is Entropy like that tho', I mean a more balanced experience

Havent played it yet

[meager snow]

See people score numbers beyond mortal comprehension

[dire meadow]

no

[magic brook]

Is there scores beyond immortal comprehension

[dire meadow]

+blind size/75 mult

[rain orbit]

Square root

[dire meadow]

2^2

[umbral pilot]

1

[meager snow]

Look again I’m not gonna say it’s perfect and certainly not very challenging or balanced, but I feel Cryptid does it’s job which is being completely unhinged

[magic brook]

Na blindsize^0.3

[buoyant kestrel]

the amount of time they will live

[dire meadow]

what if there was a cryptid that retriggered

[magic brook]

Thats not a score tho

[solemn kraken]

Meaning?

[meager snow]

Also just has some legit really cool concepts

[buoyant kestrel]

you get it

[meager snow]

Like some of the code cards

Hook and rigging are fun to play with

[dire meadow]

its +4 mult at the start then uh

idk

🪱

[magic brook]

+🪱 mult

[meager snow]

Turns out lucky card build is pretty valid if you just remove the whole luck part

[dire meadow]

ok that scale way faster then i expected

+4 to +10???

[buoyant kestrel]

card

[magic brook]

@fair thistle
I need more ashes to throw

[buoyant kestrel]

card build

[rain orbit]

I've been fucking around too much I need to lock in on rekoj's

I. NEED. MORE. ASHES. TO. THROW. NOW.

Bizarro cryptid be like

[buoyant kestrel]

piles of asriels dust

[meager snow]

Entropy is defined as a principle of thermodynamics in which everything will eventually devolve into a state of spread out chaos, essentially representing the inevitability of change and “death”.

From this we can reason the entropy mod will eventually become bad

I think i should rename my mod

[winged prism]

JaruJaru is working on a new version of it btw 😭

[rain orbit]

No it's unbalanced but in the sense that it can barely beat white stake

[dire meadow]
