EW!!!
Oh no
this basically means you cant really play crossy in its entirety since some mods are talisman incompat
amulet
I think we should kill Talisman, Steven
damn...
should i mimic the comically long descriptions
“i know what you did.”
Since when is it called a blondwie
It's blondie isn't it
i dont know dude
the seed pulling EVERYTHING IT CAN to stop me from getting a coupon tag:
me when amulet
it's an issue that i know cryptid specifically had with the latest smods, next smods update should fix it and i'm pretty sure that's planned to release by the end of the month
bleh
well that makes 2 additions that dont work for now because of the respective mods
requiem for a coupon tag
it should be based on wins
Ok, so I downgraded smods and still getting crashes in cryptid
ok but WHAT would i do for it
just from a balance perspective, making it based on losses sucks
easy for a player to spam lose runs, and just 16 runs gets it up to x2 mult. 64 for it to get up to x3
something saturn (the planet) related I guess
balatrue
you have to cheat to spam win runs...
(optimizing fun and whatever)
i found a cool youtube channel called "MzIzMzM4MzczODMzMzMzMA" who makes ytpmvs of old famous youtube horror videos
well post a link doofus
making crossmod content with a quality of life mod
you shouldn't actually, saturn the mod tends to crash/cause issues with other mods installed
blechk!!!
do

high roller has three 
yeahhhh i dunno man
ok but
how awesome are they
🐢
who said it was
one of them acts like context.mod_probability :3
same here :3
MDJ_mod_amount_and_key
i MIGHT pass on this one first
the release is based on the alpha branch
ohhhh
meta do u do lsp
eh good enough
Hungry
i don't use vscode so it doesn't usually cross my mind for my own mods. i do try to put it together where i can when i'm doing SMODS PRs tho
sorry it wasn't an actual question i just wanted to show my contexts
cool stuff 🔥
Wait does that override the lsp hints for the original calc context lsp annotation or does it add to them
that art is pretty fun
Oh i will have to do some more lsp annotations then
lily

hii lily
lily!
awesome
i thought it overrided them for some reason
i accidentally opened DNSpy instead of VSCode
hi lily
i would have thought so to
hi triangle plus
i s hould mod ror2

i accidentally open yugioh master duel instead of vsxode a lot
jet stream sam gif
hi meta
Jet stream gif
jet gif
Undertale tsunderplane
you can't hide that from me
hmmm jetstream sam but like. a hot lady with a sword. and abs
im feeling so lilyous today
how woke
of you
im lowkey about to pass out from sleeby
ha No
did you know that:
i'm woke and gay and ultragaywoke
now you know
ive got 0 clue what to do for this one
no way
which one was it
next thing you are gonna tell me is that you are the second demigirl i know...
gwuh
i lvoe my loading scre
wunkus...
woah did you see that some skeleton just ran into my user bio you should take a look
oh im sorry you need to make a joker with an elaborate soul animation now
scream emoji
gato :3
yeah i saw then
soy la gata
would they be relatively easy to make
gata -w-
placeholder art vs jimbo
waking up to people talking about how fun blindside is is awesome
what do the zodiacs even do
here you can have mine it's peak
blindside SUCKS>... it doesn't have crossmod yet smh
you will explode
i mean i know it says DOES NOTHING but i dont believe that
placeholder art for a new card type im making
this still has placeholder art
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1414344673580814499
nuh uh i'd parry it
OOOH interesting
my placeholder art looks stupid
does anyone wanna
attempt to ror2 multiplayer
i haven't
ror2 multiplayer
before
there is no such thing as placeholder art i just do the art
not sincel... the incident
ok FLEXER!!!
theyre from my old mod because im too lazy to make individual placeholder sprites
i just realized . looking at my commits i seem very apathetic and hateful
how unlily...
i will genuinely keep giggling at the thought of SystemClock crossmod content
Why did steamodded fail to load
because you suck
it doesn't like you
it knows this
thats so funny
im gonna put victins on hold then since I dont wanna do art right now
Crossmod content with handy when
egh
i will learn how to pixxel art tommorw i s wear!! i swaer i wl art tommorow
- me sayng thngs that wll never happen...
fucking stupid thing
generally i try to keep my commits informative
it doesn't always work tho
i feel like ive seen that before
no have braime
my commits are shit because aqu is private for now
WHERE IS THE 3!!
once its public i will probably stop giving the dumbest commits ever
but until its public , github is just a way for me to not lose my project if something goes bad
ugh its old
old and moldy mods
when you're looking at the github repository on github.com, click the "# Commits" text right under the green code button
yoo its !!!
oops!
ok actually
fun fact: this consumable has 4 different descriptions
why?
- information overload bad
- telling the player information when relevant good
mine are boring
:p
:p
:p
I dont wanna do art > Looks inside > ArtBox
its the collectables mod
with a modifer collectable
yeah its like the automatic crossmods specifically for enhancements
with some unique art
maybe ill make an enhancement for it
actually maybe just a joker that makes collectables im too lazy for that
what’s this wheel for
it has non-collectable content too lol
would a joker that inverts negative operations (like 1/x for below 1 mult, i thnk like log(x^y)/log(x) for below 1 expo) be common
since
those thngs don't come up usually
ik!! bu thats what i know it most for
and the sick art
im making a mod that has no content by itself but has 1 piece of content for every compatible mod with it
i think some of the enhancements that it adds already are pretty cool
i really like how clay and marble cards have special conditions/interactions with gameplay
when are we gonna have a joker that
uh
i forgor
maybe uh
gives you
3 mult
amaazng
know
Oker
'm bored honk mmmmimmimimiiimimimimimimimimimi
Who ate his ass uh I mean what
i’m
gay
hi chat
Hi!!
And so it begins
i had to look at the deltarune wiki to see what TP actually was supposed to stand for within the context of deltarune so i could clarify that
Lmao
Sometimes I forget that TP = Toilet Paper is a joke from deltarune itself
I should add a 1 in 300 chance for it to say
TP (Toilet Paper)
or something
Absolutely
I'm glad that toilets prove that deltarune monsters aren't magical
Therefore can shit
And then the next time they hover over it after seeing the Toilet paper description
it will say
TP (Yes you read that right)
Awesome
so far its alright
brat
Chat I'm so scared is it gonna win /j
Rarities????
Do they mean...
Ranks?????
Or do they mean every two of a Joker rarity...??????
chara why would you make me do genocide runs
Because I am evil and I made the Dark Fountains and pushed Wingdings Gaster into The Core.
they do mean joker rarities
so i get x2 mult if i have two common jokers? seems kinda weak for a legendary ngl
no
well yes, but you also get x2 mult if you have just one common joker + t&m, because the common + legendary pair is one unique pair of rarities
but if you pick up a common, an uncommon, and a legendary (that legendary being t&m), then you get x4 mult
add a rare to it and you get x7 mult
(second example: common+uncommon, common+legendary, uncommon+legendary is a total of 3 pairs)
(third example: the 3 pairs from the second example, plus common+rare, uncommon+rare, and rare+legendary, for a total of 6 pairs)
Thalia et melpomene, photograph, pareidolia, blueprint, canvas, rotten egg, cotton candy and duplicare makes… uhh…
yea it certainly helps that cryptid adds epic, exotic, candy, and cursed jokers
with all 8 rarities, you get 7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 28 unique pairs, so it maxes out at x29 mult (assuming you don't have any other mods that add even more rarities)
Oh wait so pareidolia, t&m, and photograph is 3 unique pairs?
yea
like i said in the examples i listed: a common, an uncommon, and a legendary is 3 pairs. common+uncommon, common+legendary, and uncommon+legendary
i do not know if i will have to make a second edition of debuffing cat jokers
add giygas to balatro
those who knows
melt n shrimps
It hurts, G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].name ...
snails or shrimp
.
. what
btw I think the Jawbreaker candy is crashing cryptid
how many times am i going to have to explain this lmao
Working on a dumbass self-insert thing right now........
Idea for joker Bad joke: x1.5 per 2025-2026 meme jokers
Chat, give name any joker from base game
Joker
Hmm
+4 mult 😛
What the hellf is fake mult 😭
Perishable can spawn with Eternal type shit I would assume
Oh! Yeah that's exactl y what was happening
im pretty srure thats the only direct sticker incompat
Fake mult disappear if with this mult you can win round
The mod that added the stake probably has more stickers like that
cryptid crashes so much bro lol
Or not, no idea
So it more useful than +4 mult, but can make lose
i always crash with Fast Food M
Oh, it is cryptid. Then probably yeah
Ghost mult maybe better name
damn wait yea
what happens if you xmult it tho
do you only lose the original fake mult count
well the problem would be keeping track of ghost mult then
It would show like chips * mult (ghost mult)
oh so a scoring parameter
this should work right????
I think so
yea
Huh
am i missing a flag
Second life:Turn 1/2 mult into ghost mult
Ghost Hunter: Ghost mult can't be reduce
hmm
This is joker?
Why would you even want to have the first one
well uh did you restart the game between adding the in_pool
You can play more hands
yes
Oh, does it like stay between hands??
Like x0.5 mult if you wining
i did
ah
the shop state is saved
it doesnt actually change the pool until you exit the shop i think
Ghost mult disappear if current score + previous score > blind score, otherwise it add all score and that score can't reduced
ok but what if i die
Than you die
Maybe
Hm
I just unlock idea for different mult
Indecisive mult: change to chips, if it add more score
Glued mult: Mult, that stay in hand
If ||played hand|| contains a ||2||, ||all played cards|| become ||2s||
I would add ghost mult and test if it good
Glued mult stay in playing hand, so if you have 10 glued mult, then all (or next?) hand starts with +10 base mult for current round
Maybe boring idea
Indecisive mult actually interesting idea, maybe change to If current mult more than chips, then convert to chips
But not always you have mult more that chips
how on earth are you going to code tjat
mult x chips<+(chips+indecisive mult) x (mult - indecisive mult)
in all cases, indecisive mult will go to whichever of mult or chips is currently lower
Only once, because it transform into chips, not indecisive chips
youre making mini plasma deck
yea i mean in the moment, when you score indecisive mult, it will pick whichever parameter is lower at the moment of scoring before the mult is added
assume x > y
(x+1) * y = (x*y) + y
x * (y+1) = (x*y) + x
(x*y) + x > (x*y) + y
x * (y+1) > (x+1) * y
adding to the smaller value is always stronger
what if if mult * 4 > score, then convert to chips * 4 for balance
it change at current on scoring, not in final
can you make it so that theres a chance of discovering a secret hand 🤔🤔
There mod that add many poker hand and one hand is lucky base hand
just at random?
yes
highestpriestess
i looked at the code
and oh my god
patches?
i rather have an intimate intercourse with a pencil sharpener
what
she means she doesn't like the high priestesses code
Ultimate Gambit
i remember they use py to compress all of the hand types somehow
single unmodified 2
1 in 1500 chance to get this hand
(modifiable by Oops! All 6s and similar effects)
thats what i usually do
Can help
i guess it only adds two challenges
wait yea wtf
😭
it should be at least yaml
Name = Ultimate Gambit
Desc = {
A single unmodified 2
1 in 1500 chance to get this hand
(modifiable by Oops! All 6s and similar effects)
}
Base Chips = 2
Base Mult = 1e35
Level Chips = 0
Level Mult = 0
Eval = {
(2 of *),
}
Card Count = 1
Unmodified = Yes
Chance = 1500
Author = HotlineJolteon
Example = 2 of Diamonds
DO NOT ADD JOKERS
wtf
thats why i asked here
Chance
uhh where are the lua files
"Chance" with patch something
what
wait
wait no
are they really just making the lua file by literally concatinating all the text files
they did
jfc
ask ruby
lua HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO JUST INCLUDE AND RETURN A TABLR FROM A FILE
when she wakes up
what are they DOING
i miss my wife notmario
i know
since when could you code like that what mod is this
highest priestess
is that how you make poker hands? never made one so i dunno also WHY are they in .txt is there not another file ext for it
its in parser_hands.lua
this mod is user-friendly and dev-hostile at the same time
HOLY why is the hand parser 25000 lines long
😭
wait so the .txt files are useless??
i assume a github runner runs the python code on the text files
i think the txt files provide the stats and localisation
i can try and help
cryptid, entropy, aij
you probably want to make a pokerhandpart
just hook G.FUNCS.evaluate_play it looks like
i add a hand in my mod
can i not just use global calculate and pseudorandom
for unlocking the hand? or scoring it
unlock
how do you plan on scoring it after
like a regular custom hand type
Like chance unlock after every hand played or what
what will the hand be
when selecting a card
my mod adds hands
When selecting card for hand or any card and unlock
67
A 6 and a 7
base chips 60
base mult 7
i think you could do that in a modify_hand context?
My mod will remove high card
no
my mod adds hands
card for hand
turn on experimental features
which
you'll see them
poker hand all and blaze
well obviously the wording ones
not just wording ones now
no one fucking remembered what i added a week ago
this is so sad
😭
rip 4oak
im sorry i dont play mods
it's only been 10 days
I play only my mod or mod for testing
so still a week because it's not halfway into new week yet
-# at least they remember u
I think any mod that add new hand is bad or yahimod
i only add them for higher hand count
like hand that can play with base cards
Like wordle hand is fine
twin flupple
Spectrum my favorite poker hand idea, too balance
it's twin triple with a flush
Idea Tongs: Hand containing two cards, one a flipped version of the other.
Ace <-> 2
King <-> 3
and etc
(8 doesn't work)
collect my crossmods
Collect?
Synergy with beelatro mod
?
oh :(
i hope my mod can be as notable
cross with me
um
I will cross
cross with me :3
Don't know about that
I just
Have zero knowledge on neonflame lol
I'm watching Better Call Saul
would u consider crossmodding me
I'll think!!
That's gonna be a self-insert Flace with a selectable ability...
Kinda like Aikoyori's joker but yknow, not a Joker
flace?
Flying Ace
oh
i got money from lucky cards twice in a row i almost cried
woe
Gotta cross with Revo's Vault because he's crossing with Flaces
Aikoshen because play
Partner because funny
Hmmm
Maybe neon because flame
only took the entire game to find a crossy joker with how saturated the pool is
lol
@wanton rapids help me with wording
sure
i can also help
okay so
I think I saw my mod on the wheel.
yeah you put it there did you not
I hope I can still add 5 more jokers before Wednesday.
Adds Polychrome to each Jokers/Cards for each played Full House during this round, resets at end of round
i know this is slop but
if all jokers already has editions
it moves to cards held in hand
and then the deck
right ok
Ok so, Lapis Lazuli, Harley Quinn, Asura, Noise, and Vegeta.
does CreditLib work on decks
I already said Lapis makes all Blue (Club, Bonus, Foil) cards always score and retrigger.
when a full house is played, a random joker gains polychrome for each full house played
if all jokers have editions, target cards in hand, then in deck
or if you wanted to be more vauge
Vegeta, they give +1 Ascension Power per scored card, increase by +1 when a blind is beaten.
Add polychrome editions to each jokers/cards equally of number of times played full house in this round? Im not about wording, I'm about effect
Asura, x2 Ascension Power per scored, and x1 more when a boss blind is beaten.
like it triggers when hand played or at end of round
when a full house is played, a random joker or card in hand or deck gains polychrome for each full house played
Noise gives a random chips and mult between 10 to 1000 for each scored card
And Harley Quinn is literally Canvas.
ohhhh
No, I am not a Joker
ok sorry
its fineee
You are clown?
applies polychrome to jokers or cards in hand/deck for each full house played this run
honk honk suckers
should be good
why full house lol
youll see
Adds the number of times poker hand has been played this run to Mult
hmm
I will edit it, but I cant change it now
thats just Supernova
yea
this deck is some bullshit
what did you do to red deck
this run?
not round?
it resets at end of every round
oh wait you said its a spectral right
yes
what happens if you get it in a pack
it moves to your cons slot
Add Polychrome edition to a random Joker or Card the number of times Full House has been played this run
oh
fuck 😭
also imo its a bit weak for a spectral
this is like negative invisible joker
dont worry about that
so i have become death
btd6 mentioned
why do i feel like this is actually a custom consumable type
Oh my god bruh
hyperop
What the fuck is Balagay
i have an effect in mind but should it trigger when scoring a gold card or using a talisman
holy mother of god
Using Talisman is way too specific for a joker
resets at end of round, also remove the parenthesis aroudn the s
sure
You can make a variable for charge/charges
do u really need to add a special case for if theres exactly 1 charge
most jokers just use "1 charges"
the family i think
Well that's just what I would do idk man
Localthunk when the assignment is to ignore full house
But also ig both the pair and 3oak ones work with full house soo
since i dont wanna just do ^mult i just made it give base mult with a formula using exponents
so technically just ^mult but worse
or you could use my "i had to do it to em" joker for tangents or hypercam joker from morefluff
vanilla exponents
Reset should be removed? Because it have "this round"
I wrote quickly because I was busy and 100% of my writing was wrong.
Or also should be "at the start of round* so it useful on spectrals packs
any balala wanna waste their brain power on 2v2 :3
seems pretty talisman coded t o me
Turns every instance of "Straight" to "Gay"
Oh
So you'd play a Gay, or a Gay Flush
Mrow
"playing card with a with a gold seal"
mow
im going to disect you in minecraft
I'm a gem
said noone ever
Gang he just said it 💔
Now make mod for steammodded
thats interesting
Starspace
Idea for my mod
Big blibnd
this image is edited btw
idk why, but this reminded me of the time my friend unironically thought that balatro would be better if you could skip all blinds
that big blind chip was not from the screenshot
oh
that whole ui section I edited in
Pizza with extra cheese
he deleted the game cause he it was "too easy"
i'm not friends with him anymore
HUH
valid /lh
i think fries go well with burgers
I think tacos go well with Mountain Dew Baja blast
I think
Wrong
Does nobody like lemon? 😭
Was if it wasn't and thunk was just curious
nuh uh
Thunk isn't curious
Is that a wheel of mods?
its a wheel of mods not the wheel of mods
you could say
this games kinda fun but by god does it hurt my brain
what am i looking at
yes
A second scuffed thanos portrait has hit the Kino
My first instinct was to say that he looks like Mike "Breaking Bad" Whatever-his-second-name-was
tbf that's an accurate assessment
I'm bad at portraits which is why I use stylized joker art for all non-legendaries that makes faces just a vague blob of colour, haha
but i don't have that luxury here
yeah
What
see you would have won by so much more if you got me
totally /j
the Vito art looks pretty good tbf
totally
a lucky accident, but yeah, pretty proud of that one, haha
i like the art for Remy too
what game is this
Tabulo
500 Jokers might be real after all
hello sleepy
Lets steal other peoples sprites instead
brilliant!
What the fuck
is this even Balatro anymore Jesus
that’s super sick
mojijoker
I just forgot off topic exists but nobody uses it
is this a balatro mod or its own thing
Lol even
its own thing
can i have a link i fucking love chess
.
It feels very VERY inspired by balatro but it makes you really think
Self-inserting reminds me of not being an artist
fuck its not free
Why the hell are there now so many cards in the main menu
I indirectly caused this 💔
Why did you expect it to be free 😭
i had high hopes 😔
Barely any roguelikes are free
Rabbit Hole
john free:
the game
IF I RECEIVE
I didn't like rabbit hole that much
ONE MORE VIDEO CALL
It pissed me kff
you need to get Jim Carrey in there, either as The Mask or as Truman
Me neither I just kinda remembered it randomly
What other roguelikes are free
Truman show isn't a legendary, but he'll be in the final version. Got about 5 other Carrey movies in there already, I think
Uhhh R1999 gets hit by a second permanent roguelike mode soon... That's close enough, ig
is Liar Liar one of them
Though not the mask because I marked that as being a midas mask skin for when I thought I was going to reskin all vanilla jokers, haha
somebody stop me im smoking the track
Probably stuff akin to vampire survivors
someone should make a Balatro mod that's only Jim Carrey references
That would fuck
I was forced to play holocure when i didnt have any wifi and I think it was pretty good
I remember seeing AI generated gacha balatro on play market 😭
Gacha mechanics are so ass I refuse to even entertain a single game that has them
Nope. I'd have to check because there's 350 jokers in the mod, but it's Yes Man, the Number 23, Eternal Sunshine, Truman Show, Peggy Sue Got Married, and Batman Forever
Unless he's in a voice only role in some movies I've missed, that should be all of 'm
Play store, whatever the fuck google market thing is called idfc
heavyu weapns guy
Made me hate all the Genshins and ZZZs and other garbo
That is an extremely
Weird prejudice
When your experience came from gacha life
Of all games
is gacha life even a gacha games
*Gacha World
no
yes
Funny…
hop on gacha life twin 🥀
Saying ANY "gacha" lunime game is like a mainstream gacha game is like saying Barbie is a ploy to get people to go to the casino
See I don't need to try high calibre drugs to know I shouldn't try drugs after taking the shitty gas station version
A good number of gacha games don't even legally release here
This is a really dislikeable view
Im not saying gacha games are good
But you are using an incredibly bad medium to judge it
idk the number of gacha game is often in a bad number tbh
gas station enhancment pills ain't near as good as the real ones 🙏
like some of them are fine, but there definitely should be fewer
I have NEVER seen someone say Gacha games from lunime are anything above dress up games
This is the one
enhancement pill is when you run a vampire build
oh shit it actually had a gacha
Thats where the gacha part in its name came from
shit then i might be remembering the wrong one
either gacha life or gacha club
speak for yourself that's how they nearly got me but I was a broke Polish kid so it didn't work out
Every lunime game has gacha and paper dolls its just that everyone who plays it plays it for the paperdolls
i know that much
I wanted an RPG
and i don't care enough to find out which one im thinking of
dude PLAY BATTLE CATS
i just know one exist because i was made aware of the fact against my will
WHY WOULD YOU GET HOOKED ON A LUNIME GAME! WTF!!!
happy birthday
merry christmas
I was like 11 when I was into gacha life
i think i was in the gacha life community at one point but modding chat is not ready for this conversation
I should make Gacha life balatro mos
n
what woyld gacha life even have content wise that would have a balatro purpose
unless you're just gonna make a joker out of every sigle clothing options
what if you dress up your jokers
What was the mod that uhh
Let you make custom jokers
Mid run
It should be like that
There was also a game that I think was gacha but it was like dragons and elementals and shit and it had seasons and I forgot its name
It was like a decade ago
This is extremely niche
My experience with gacha games as a kid was beating up omnipotent godly humanoid cats with sentient balls of mochi
look my experience was being an autistic child that accessed the forbidden crack of Doodle God and forever developed numerologic thinking
and if a game had elementals and connecting shit and such i would just go OUGHHH
forever impaired brain functionality because the concept of combining elements to make more elements rewired my brain chemistry
Cat Ears : Subtract 1 from Lucky Card's denominator for each Jokers held that are wearing Cat Ears, minimum 1
it's like oops but slightly less strong, cuz typiocally you'd be down to max 1/3 and 1/15, which is good but again not oops
Baseball Cap: +4 Mult for each Uncommon Joker. +8 Mult for each Uncommon Joker wearing Baseball Cap
Top Hat: applies Showman
to the joker that is wearing top hat, or in general
either could work tbh
honestly showman only for 1 joker in exchange for a joker slot is a good tradeoff
Cap n Bells: Clears currently worn Hat and gives double the sell value of the Joker that wore it
This chat be talking about anything and the that somehow stems into concepting a Gacha Life mod
Can't wait till we get to Othello World or smth
The chat is dumb and can't read
I said Gacha World like 4 times and they kept saying Gacha Life
same thing tbh
Also I am dissociating from this idea
gacha world is like. gacha life's twin sister
Gacha World is what I briefly played in 2016 and which gave me the vitriol necessary to never play gachas
gacha world/life really is only good for like
those cringe stories/reactions you see flying around yt that one of my friends just obsessed over back in 2023
ah
refer to
ok so i was only talking about gacha life ig
Yeah Gacha World is ass in that it's a gacha rpg game
Different kind of bad
my 13 year old self was deceived by promise of RPG with elemental stuff
yeah, honkai/genshin/zzz also are gacha rpgs, but they got more popular because of advertising, graphics, and story
Yeah
And the thing is that the gacha aspect like, heavily sours anything it might have to offer to me
I'd rather dedicate time and money to a title that doesn't feel the need to use psychology tricks on me
yeah, if you just make everything non-linear unlock or a shop system, it might be good
like pokemon or something
Does Genshin actually have redeeming qualities besides like graphics and music? Idk back when I tried it I felt like the story is a total nothing burger
final legendary art is done
idk the only grpg i've played is zzz
I tried Genshin just to see what it was about and I feel like any flowers it story receives are measured with a very specific bar, because it's not great
The story only gets good in the very later parts but surprise surprise youd have to dedicate alot of time to reach that point
zzz was actually kinda fun for a while too, the base characters are cool, ellen joe sucks except in the story, and the one girl that i forget the name of that has a chainsaw can stunlock enemies
gacha's a strange way to tell stories, regardless, as are live service games, and I think quite often you end up with a situation where investment gets mistaken for quality
yeah this exactly
Sometimes its not about telling the story
Its marketing for the character
So that's why the quality for story telling differs alot
Not that there's anything wrong with enjoying something regardless of quality. I've seen 10 fast and furious movies, ya know. But I'm generally snobbish about games and think it's kind of rare for any game to tell a good story
My favorite game story-wise is Thomas was Alone if you've ever heard of it
if you want a good story, play vivid/stasis
fantastic characters, fantastic songs, everything is great
Thomas Was Alone is amazing in that it manages to anthropomorphize rectangles of different proportions
Through gameplay and association alone
i really enjoyed Thomas Was Alone. There are some RPGs I think have good stories, but my general feeling is that video games are a medium that's less conducive to linear storytelling and more towards exploring worldbuilding and puzzle-like meta fiction kinda things
oh wait we're still on rpgs? oh lol, vivid/stasis isn't an rpg
rhythm game with puzzle elements
i'll give it a try haha
it went from racing to science fiction
i exaggerated it a bit
it went from terrible in a way i didn't care about to okayish to terrible in a way i love, haha
Thomas Was Alone isn't as much an RPG as it is a narrative game with puzzle elements
That manages to really nail characterization for what's effectively rectangles
It's like a masterclass of minimalism and conveying emotion and character through gameplay and actions
I mean, outside of RPGs I think games just are less often very story focused. I'm really into how games can use the mechanics to push story, though, so I'll check Vivid Statis out because it seems like it'd fall into that category
I'm still wondering what the fuck did Edmund McMillen mean when he commented "Soon" on my Time Fcuk tiktok
I also really love Hacknet and its DLC Labirynths
But something like Celeste isn't a story that works if you're not experiencing the gameplay, for example, and I love how those two tie together
i think we're straying from modding btw lol
Typical day in #⚙・modding-general
play tangents
when part of the joke of the joker is less in its appearance and more in its function
or when the two tie together
It's a part of making Kino jokers I really think is fun. Trying to tell a story through the mechanics of a joker
i feel like this is the key to a good joke mod tbh
-# Posted in the wrong channel there, ope:
Lowkey thinking about reposting my Mod in #1209506514763522108, just so it displays the new Logo 
the description will just say +4 Mult but when you score, you gotta do the SAT test
see that's only funny once at most
A good joke is one that doesn't age poorly
you can put image links to replace the logo

@dusty token I removed embeds forever ago and now it doesn't work like that :<
One of my favorite designs I've made is this Ocean's 11 joker, because it lets you feel clever when you max out its value to -20, and then destroy it. Really makes you feel like you're actually able to do a heist
that's neat
Balatrostuck nation has this shitfuck called Jocker and all he does is he just doubles every single blind, like it will spawn negative copies of itself, and he's the biggest piece of dogshit and people lose runs to him all the time because the joke of Jocker outweighs the fact he's a horrible card with situational utility at best (each copy of jocker sells for -2 dollars - you don't even get money from it)
and for jokers where the joke is in the mechanics, the reason the dark knight destroys jokers is because it's the movie where Batman fights the joker
abstract Joker ...
every time Jocker pops in the shop I see people wrestle their thoughts
i love the song for the oceans 12
oh god
a horrible idea came to mind
supercommon jokers
a spectral card that has a cost of making supercommon jokers appear, which are more common than common jokers and weaker than common jokers
it takes significant mental effort to go "no i am not throwing the run"

insane scene where that plays, haha
yeah see this is neat
this is flavorful but its not on the nose
a good joke should be telegraphed well but not obnoxiously obvious
which is why cryptid is my behated
Oh, as far as narrative through mechanics, also really happy with the LotR joker, which needs to be carried by another joker, gives it great power, but also slowly drains and corrupts it
because some of the "jokes" of cryptid are a low 4/10 for me
oh hell yeah
yeah this is good design
also interesting double textbox
issue with jokes in games is that they have to either be unobtrusive or remain funny after seeing them a bunch. Though Cryptid's more explicitly a joke, and Kino's me thinking it's inherently funny that you'd be able to get a joker based on steven spielberg romantic ghost comedy flop Always
yes exactly
if a joke makes you groan after seeing it for the nth time its like
not that good
pingas stratergy
numerator and denominator refer to the top and bottom (respectively) of fractions
wait i'm not niko
my bad
there's a layered joke/reference in Balatrostuck in the form of the sword Caledfwlch, that has a 1 in 3 chance to be X3 Mult, but if that chance fails it's +3 Mult instead
this is a reference to Dave Strider's struggle with masculinity and heroism, seen in the sword Caledfwlch which alternates between its full and 1/2-sword versions - when the sword is full, it's drawn with association to heroic aspiration and strength, when the sword is represented as broken, it's an allusion to subverting that rigid view of heroism and allowing vulnerability even if it doesn't serve a heroic or fighting purpose
The full sword is also symbolic of Dave's Bro, whose sword is literally the Unbreakable Katana - a full sword that cannot be broken by any force, a beacon of "heroism" in a form that disqualifies any attempt at being more than an archetype
And then Dave's Bro / Dirk in the mod is associated with XMult due to this idea of strength and heroism
No
I think putting thought and effort and love into the effects of the Jokers and thinking about them on a textual/referrential level is good
It shows a deeper understanding of the media/culture surrounding a subject
Like look at some of the Thunk Jokers
And how a lot of them reference various bits of american culture

This is a pretty alright video
2 in 1
yeah slap it again
... slaps it again
i find everything funny, that might just be my mariana trench standard
HEY NO
I think that's a reductive approach that eliminates nuance that could be achieved
nuance is nerdy
you have a funny way of uttering your thoughts, i must say
kids nowadays call it geeking
i dont wnat to play a game with subtext
