[neat turret]

mod that calculates ur hand score

[silent thistle]

wtf

[normal hollow]

likely multiplayer, but divvy's preview also should work

[neat turret]

thanksssss

[fallow bramble]

Isnt divvy's preview outdated

[normal hollow]

there are no other ones at least

fantom is broken afaik because they started working with multiplayer

[plush hound]

aren't you outdated

[fallow bramble]

True...

[plush hound]

:3

[storm forum]

Feeling dated do be a common feeling.

[plush hound]

uncs all around me

[upbeat wraith]

tell your cool ideas

[wind token]

balatro

[upbeat wraith]

yeah no way

[frigid furnace]

Just woke up and I misread your name as having your pronouns (or half of them)

[wind token]

pronoun

[latent crescent]

pro

[oblique storm]

what the fuck

[oblique storm]

can anyone explain how to use ts

pleas

[cloud willow]

insert the file into your code

rename the synthb specific functions and their related strings

make sure the file is being ran

and you can now put use and can_use in joker definitions

[oblique storm]

like this?

use = function(card, self, context)
can_use = function(card, self, context)

[cloud willow]

what is ability???

[oblique storm]

oh right context

fuck

[cloud willow]

no contexy

context*

just self and card

[oblique storm]

so just
use = function(card, self)

[cloud willow]

please go double check your lua knowledge

[oblique storm]

i'm still new to ts

[cloud willow]

self always comes first if its included

[frigid mica]

:blunder: vs ⚗️

[frigid mica]

Does anybody remember that one Balatro multiplayer addon

It was so fucking insane in a bad way

Why would you do that to the opponent’s computer

[mossy panther]

thank fuck got the joker to work as intended, all it took was one nights rest

[unkempt current]

More pressure

yum

Guys what would be a good color/gradient for my 3rd divisor thing?

Currently it's green but I'm not sure if it fits

[strange brook]

how would I change the color of the box around text in a local var (e.g. {X:newColorHere,C:white})?
The colour loc_vars accessed with {V:1} only changes text color, while the box_colour loc_vars change the background.

[normal hollow]

(SPOILERED BC OF A CRYPTID MOD SECRET)
|| is talking about the cryptid mod secret Crash card effect allowed ||

[unkempt current]

Not everybody plays cryptid here so I guess

[woven crag]

i dont think people really care about mod spoilers

and its not like theres a rule about it

[ashen blaze]

whats gioing on

cant start a run

[ashen blaze]

no i already reported you to the mods expect a ban in these 24 hours

[urban crow]

so i use balatro mod manager and i have mods like yahiamod, why i dont have the cards

[ashen blaze]

balatro mod manager usually has outdated mods

[urban crow]

so yahiamice mod no work?

[ashen blaze]

idk just get it from github or wherever else its found

not mod manager

[shy olive]

anyway

anyone got a lua code for the crash card easter egg

[normal hollow]

i have lua code for a lot of things

[urban crow]

bro

its ONLY

on mod manager

[wicked jasper]

literally the first result 😭

[normal hollow]

if it's on mod manager it's on github

that's how the mod manager works

[junior rock]

me when i lie

[urban crow]

i got it

still no work

no modded cards

no stuff

[wicked jasper]

you

don't have smods

[urban crow]

smods?

[wicked jasper]

😭

[urban crow]

nobody told me ineed that

[wicked jasper]

[urban crow]

Thank you

[wicked jasper]

literally the mod loader

[ashen blaze]

steamodded

[urban crow]

uhhh

[urban crow]

how do i get

it or use it

[shy olive]

yeah it lets me input a lua code

[urban crow]

i dont read that never

[shy olive]

what should i input

[normal hollow]

start today

[urban crow]

lets see now

[urban crow]

thats why people are help for

[wicked jasper]

and you wouldn't need help if you read the instructions

[normal hollow]

no?

people are here to help not spoonfeed you

[wicked jasper]

you're meant to strive towards being able to do things without needing to ask for help

[narrow lily]

a man so intelligent i have to screenshot them

truly impressive

[ashen blaze]

https://www.google.com/search?q=steamodded

i believe in you

[wicked jasper]

how can i find it, this isn't grok gpt

[urban crow]

im dumb not my fault i was born with brain issues

[narrow lily]

google.com is a useful resource for gaining basic sentience.

[wicked jasper]

half this server's autistic, no excuse

[narrow lily]

ontop of that like this is basic reading comprehension and using google.

[wicked jasper]

frrr

[woven crag]

-# Only half?

[wicked jasper]

good point

the whole server is

[narrow lily]

I can understand maybe not understanding you needs smods

but like

after that point

[umbral pilot]

anyone have the glopglorp mod

[wicked jasper]

glopglorp 😋

[crude verge]

Intruder.

[latent crescent]

alert.

[narrow lily]

Red spy in in the base

[urban crow]

question, how do i give my self any card

[narrow lily]

the debug plus mod

[frigid furnace]

#1228149931257237664

[narrow lily]

hover over the card in gbe collection and press 3

[umbral pilot]

oh hey I know the guy that made that

[crude verge]

RED SPY IN THE BASE?!

[umbral pilot]

cool despite being french

[urban crow]

gbe?

[narrow lily]

the collection i mistyped

[narrow lily]

im not walking you through this gain a fing brain and think holy

[granite spear]

where i can download blindside mod?

[unkempt current]

That thing

[urban crow]

im dumb :p (adhd and autism)

[narrow lily]

same here buddy and i can figure it out you aint special

[ashen blaze]

https://github.com/LunaAstraCassiopeia/Blindside

[latent crescent]

not in this capacity dude

[ashen blaze]

that doesnt make you stupid

[granite spear]

thanks

[urban crow]

i am stupid

[unkempt current]

Put your cursor on top of your card, press Ctrl and 3, and oh wait it spawned

[urban crow]

thank you

[unkempt current]

You're welcome
-# Don't forget to press Ctrl and 3 at the same time

[narrow lily]

do you need to press control and 3? I thought it was only 3. The more ya know i guess

[toxic cloud]

iirc other keybinds require Ctrl

debug effects on hovered joker (pressing 1 to unlock, 2 to discover and 3 to spawn) don’t need it

[wicked jasper]

yea they don't

[granite spear]

what i have to do next

[ashen blaze]

Unzip into mods folder

[granite spear]

i cant found it

[ashen blaze]

Do you have steamodded

[granite spear]

no

[ashen blaze]

.

But instead of yahimod its whatever you wanna get

[limpid lake]

so am i, i can still figure things out, it just takes more testing

[echo hatch]

https://github.com/Naruyoko/ExpantaNum.js I can't wait till talisman/amulet adds expantanum /hj

[granite spear]

where i put the unzip steamodder?

[unkempt current]

The more you knoww

I am a

I thought you need to click with Ctrl because it said so in that tab thing

I'm sorry for mindlessly sharing misinformation

[lean dune]

in. your. mods. folder.

[rain orbit]

The hardest part of knowing everything is dealing with those who know nothing

[mossy crest]

does this seem the right rarity?

[rain orbit]

I'd put it at rare, massive flush hands potential

But that's just me uncommon can work too

It's like smeared joker but with more labor involved

[mossy crest]

and smeared is an uncommon

it has the downside of forcing you to use hands for making tarots which would take a couple hands to become as good as smeared but with the upside of the benefits lasting after it's sold

[rain orbit]

Oh I thought smeared was rare

I forgor I guess

[mossy crest]

thank you for your advice

[rain orbit]

[crude verge]

I want to have my PC back

but my small cousin is playing roblox bloxfruits or some shih like that

[misty crane]

why was i l0ve tv blocked by mods lol

[agile quest]

do i still get achivments with mods if i disable them?

[misty crane]

no

i learnt it the hard way

[agile quest]

how do i get the ability to get achivements again then

[misty crane]

enable them in the mods menu

[agile quest]

if i enable them then i get achivements?

[misty crane]

yeah

[mossy crest]

wait

I am once again asking for balancing feedback

[crude verge]

I want to redesign this for some reason

could be peak

[rain orbit]

Why are they on your pc

[crude verge]

My aunt forced me to share pc with him

Is that or become kinda homeless-

[rain orbit]

Bruh

[mossy crest]

If you do i could include it in the mod and i will credit you ❤️

[crude verge]

Send me DM so i dont forgot

[mossy crest]

The idea behind this is that it is a sidegrade to photograph

[crude verge]

Btw, that effect should be intant rare

Unless u are making number slop

[mossy crest]

while photograph gives a direct x2 mult and works better with +mult stacking it requires a face card

omni-joker eventually gives x2 mult but only if you play a 5 card hand and it doesn't work as well with in hand +mult jokers

[mossy crest]

photograph is an uncommon right?

[crude verge]

Oh, that makes sense

And just realized is 1.2

my blind ass read 1.5

[mossy crest]

lol

[crude verge]

Yeah, is balanced

[mossy crest]

i try really really hard to make this mod feel like vanilla

[crude verge]

Is hard to make any mod vanilla at all

Unless you read localthunk's mind

Is you want the jokers to Look like vanilla

use pop references and relativelly abstract ideas

But the effects, that is tuff

[mossy crest]

tbh it's more like vanilla with hot fudge and sprinkles

[mossy crest]

so much of my jokers are references it's crazy

[crude verge]

Balatro references are normally pop culture things and not direct references

[mossy crest]

yeah i know

mine are very blatant

[crude verge]

Making direct references is not bad, i love them actually

but is you want to make your mod look like balatro vanilla... yeah, they dont work at all

[mossy crest]

i honestly dont care if it looks like vanilla, i mean my cards arent even in the same art style

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1502682917741002913

this is the mod btw

if you wanna check it out

[crude verge]

Rapid watch and now i want to be artist of your mod, i thinks many ideas could go hard

And i like jimbo-like joker designs

[mossy crest]

almost all of them are jimbo-like

but if you wanna be an artist for it you are absolutely welcome

[crude verge]

Recurrent artist

I do request so you are welcome

Example of how my pixel art goes

[mossy crest]

holy peak

[crude verge]

Here some "Jimbo-like" jokers i made for my repainted mod

[mossy crest]

omg

[crude verge]

I could lend you the tricky one if you want (I have to get my pc back before giving the original sprite btw-)

[mossy crest]

my mod has tricky and the joker aswell

[crude verge]

With credits, i dont cate giving art i already make out

[crude verge]

like, I make this because i like doing pixel art, i dont care too much about "This is mine and only for my mod!"

[mossy crest]

this is one of the jokers i am more proud of

[crude verge]

Your tricky looks very good too

[mossy crest]

Splendid jokers are legendary equivalents that can be found in the shop but are very rare

i set it to the lowest weight that joker forge will allow

[crude verge]

Mine is more simple to be honest, just took like 10 minutes to do counting corrections and shading

[crude verge]

Things that change your entire build, my favorite

[mossy crest]

i have like 10 splendid jokers i think

they're fun to make

[crude verge]

Nothing to do but i am kinda proud of this Sisyphus alternative design i made

I made this for fun and i will add it to chaos mode

[mossy crest]

What does it do?

[crude verge]

My mod is a repaint (Basically a meme texture pack)

is just the new art for hiker

[mossy crest]

Ah

Do you have one for the obelisk?

[crude verge]

Not rn, but will be a 5G tower

You know, that one meme of a 5G tower with a girl becoming a skull

[mossy crest]

oh lmao

i was gonna suggest the monolith from expedition 33

but now that i think about it i got an idea for that

[crude verge]

I want the mod be more meme based than reference based

[mossy crest]

makes sense yeah

[crude verge]

even if to be honest like 70% of the mod is just references

I have the whole list for every card except clubs 2 to 10

Dont have enough plant/leaf jokes

[mossy crest]

Just do one for every plant that is a drug

it'd be so ironically funny

[tardy sigil]

@kindred pecan you have inadvertently convinced me to make a ytp mod, of course with as many michaels as i can come up with

[torn thunder]

What was that mod that allowed consumables to have editions with respective effects?

Like for example a polychrome planet card would give X1.5 to chips and mult of the respective hand

[tardy sigil]

i have absolutely no idea

[mossy crest]

That's called the observatory voucher laughs uncontrollably and then has a seizure and dies

[torn thunder]

Nvm i found it

It's aurinko

[mossy crest]

thanks, i am 100% going to be using that

[tardy sigil]

i also thought of this LOL

[torn thunder]

Made by jenwalter btw, the dude who made the mod that can help output numbers beyond comprehension

[proud meteor]

my mod is on the index!!!!! :D

[crude verge]

There is like opium and no much more

[thorn fog]

Hey, guys

What are some must-haves I should get to optimize my Balatro experience?

I know about the calculator, but I don't know any other ones

[normal hollow]

Handy

also JokerDisplay and PlayLog but those are self advertising

[quartz flame]

can i still play jen’s almanac?

[normal hollow]

yes, it's called polterworx now

it has its own server

[quartz flame]

And is it active?

[normal hollow]

yes

idk what the url is because im not there

[quartz flame]

damn i had no idea

thanks buddy

[thorn fog]

What does PlayLog do?

[late spoke]

im so funny

[normal hollow]

adds a log

[west hill]

Galdur

[normal hollow]

speaking of music, ill share this again

[thorn fog]

Okay, so I know what JokerDisplay does, as well as the calculator and PlayLog, but what does Galdur and Handy do?

[normal hollow]

galdur is an improved deck/stake selection menu

[west hill]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1270516504470880357/1270516505058218044/galdur-screenshot.png?ex=6a084df3&is=6a06fc73&hm=e69726734a826876d885964b046cad036273a5c8f1abdb736b6f5079c74ace3b&

it definitely isnt

im pretty sure they have either a 1 week or 2 week account creation date minimum

[rain orbit]

Someone should just pin this here so people don't have to grab the link over and over

[normal hollow]

they probably don't want to advertise an unofficial server

[ashen blaze]

bro there is no way this is a cryptid joker

[torn thunder]

anyone tried beige deck(cryptid) photochad?

[rain orbit]

You say that while ignoring the polychrome "polychrome becomes better" joker

[ashen blaze]

better than 6 chip obelisk

[rain orbit]

Lmao

Thats not obelisk

[crude verge]

my original nickname is gingerbench, later i was called "ginger", and then someone was trying to make fun of me and called me "La ginger" because i speak spanish

so thats my new nickname

My nickname was "Femtanyl" for some time but then realized a music artist had the same nickname

[cloud willow]

#1209506514763522108

also use amulet instead of talisman

[unkempt current]

Oop you already responded

Was about to say that before actually reading

[woven crag]

tbh i advise using google to find cryptid

[cloud willow]

yeah

its pretty popular, jt should come up

[woven crag]

Since too many people have posted cryptid crashes in modding forum so its impossible to find there

well yeah but its harder than highcard

[oblique storm]

working on some joker sprites for my mod

:3c

[crude verge]

i was thinking about making a "Beta" of my repainted mod with the consumables via malverk

thats will be like when the mod is half done so i think is a good way to let the people experience the rot

[crude verge]

Riff raff repainted

[mossy crest]

LMAO

[woeful wasp]

do mods let you mess with the weight of tarot/planet/joker(/spectral if ghost deck)? I'm just curious

asking because I noticed in #🕹・game-discussion the weights have an oddly specific value of 9.6 when redeeming certain vouchers and I'm like "there's no way it makes that big of a difference right" :clueless:

[rain orbit]

Mods let you mod the game, so yes

"Mods" can do anything, something like consumable weight is trivial

[woeful wasp]

alright

[paper island]

peak

[paper island]

I'm gonna share some of my stuffs about my take on harder stakes

if i want to make my own mod tho

is it too evil (all of it will be not combined with gs)

[tribal tangle]

gng you need cryptic to win this

[paper island]

yeah it's too evil

i should tone it down xd

or make it a separate

actually I'll nake it separate instead

[wicked jasper]

also why is one of these a lowering of blind req

[normal hollow]

I think Glue allows it but you can also use the debugplus console with eval G.GAME.joker_rate = 9999 or whatever card type

[keen knoll]

jimbo with real hands is scary

[crude verge]

This is made kinda badly in purpose

is the repaint for vampire

the first to understand the reference wins a week without internet

[keen knoll]

vampire should be a My Immortal reference lol

[crude verge]

IS MY INMORTAL

[keen knoll]

oh

[crude verge]

is... uhhh, how was she called

[keen knoll]

i never really thought about what the mc looks like lol

evony dark'ness dimentia-ravenway

[crude verge]

i used the design of the fan comic as reference

[keen knoll]

oh

erosion should be that one meme of the kid hanging over a pit lol

[paper island]

uhh my idea is

on first ante it's at 1x blind requirement

2nd ante it's at 1.75x blind requirement and goes on

it increases by 75% every ante

[rain orbit]

To me your pfp looks like stoat po3 and hh andonuts combined into one

sorry if i got it wrong

[ancient sinew]

but that doesn't look like 2v2

I imagine it's the same as 1v1 but whoever gets the most points wins the round for both of them

[manic pumice]

Thanks ❤️

[ancient sinew]

(I don't think they know the joke chat)

[rain orbit]

Your name sounds like if balatro had fake player npcs

[winged prism]

I will totally add 2v2 multiplayer in J&! 0.3 update, I just need to figure out how to fit it in with the mewgenics content pack

[rain orbit]

Once my mod is fully released I will try to figure out multiplayer compatibility

It's just rather slow with only being a 2 man job and the other one does all the coding

[winged prism]

I mean

[rain orbit]

I nice

[winged prism]

Isn't multiplayer mod like compatible with most things by default

[crude verge]

[wicked jasper]

was hit with the striking realisation that, after turning all my ocs into their own card type, i was left with no common jokers

[winged prism]

No idea about resource packs, but balatrostuck is a pretty big content mod

[plush hound]

homestuck fucking sucks tho

[winged prism]

I mean

Duh

[winged prism]

If you're going as far as getting homestuck mods I bet you know that

[plush hound]

😭

valid

[half hound]

Im writing a docker compose that let you test your mods in a dockerize way. You have to bring the code for mod and balatro game. the docker ship love + lovely + smods and setup xvfb and stream the virtual screen over local connection as hls. Is it ok to release this docker as public repo. <@&1133519078540185692>

[hot perch]

unsure, will forward it to the relevant people

[half hound]

thanks

[static vale]

speaking not as a moderator, but as a software engineer: do you really need docker for this????

I guess it's an okay way to prepackage a bunch of deps together

is this intended for automated testing?

[tardy sigil]

why do you need a docker for testing a balatro mod 😭

[spare geyser]

chat how do y'all feel about blinds like this?

where rather than a deck/joker check its a skill check in the minigames

[tardy sigil]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they can be good

but like somethimes they arent

[spare geyser]

i have tried to make both of these blinds forgiving by giving you the whole 3 hits before you die

[paper island]

aight imma just

[half hound]

Im writing this for improve testing experience in https://github.com/coder/balatrobot. Now I have up to 6 instance of balatro running test in parallel ensuring that the the API of balatro behave as expected. Rn i have two main issues:

• 6 balatro window spawned on my screen (I can run in headless mode but sometime I have to test GUI related so windows are required)
• the default love.errhanlder love2d function logs error into the window without exiting. It would be nicer if the game exit on crash and reporting errors to stderr (or logs). This it's also useful to close the loop if making use of coding agents.

[paper island]

if i want to make a mod

my take on decks

[wicked jasper]

art could be better but i love stuff that adds interactible onscreen shit like this

[paper island]

ik I'm horrible at ts

[spare geyser]

but also have a guy who plays my mod who doesn't really like said bosses so im wondering if its a thing of wow these are too difficult or what

[paper island]

cool concept

[spare geyser]

the art could be better all around in fortlatro tbh but im not good at balatro art its all fortnite shit for the most part im only really good at the coding aspect and dont have money to be paying good artists to make ALL of this shit

[paper island]

for a joker what pixel size should i do

[spare geyser]

like how much would i even need for an artist to draw this much stuff

[wicked jasper]

71x95

use the basegame sprites for reference

[paper island]

ok thanks

[spare geyser]

personally i make the 2x first then shrink it down to the 1x

[paper island]

been a while i haven't opened pixel studio

[spare geyser]

the 2x is just double the size of the 71x95 1x tho

[paper island]

hmmm

ok fine

hi

[spare geyser]

when you do the opposite it makes the 2x all blurry and bad? do y'all just not play with pixel art smoothing or what?

[tardy sigil]

no you just scale it properly so it doesnt look blurry??

[spare geyser]

how? when i scale up a 1x to a 2x it becomes blurry?

[tardy sigil]

well depends on your art software, but if you have something good, there should be options on how scaling is done, and if there is, set it to Nearest Neighbour

[spare geyser]

even when they are the proper size for a 1x/2x

[tardy sigil]

theres probably a nearest neighbour upscaler online website or something

for example here is my 1x

and here it is upscaled

[spare geyser]

theres my 2x and 1x lol

[plush hound]

you gotta change the uhh

fuck what was it again

you gotta change your sampling

or filter

the one that says bilinear

change it to the nearest neighbour

or anything linear

[spare geyser]

y'all gonna hate me

[plush hound]

what's your editing app

[spare geyser]

ms paint 💀

[plush hound]

For Hard/Crisp Edges (Nearest Neighbor):Select the area you want to resize using the Select tool. Press Ctrl + W to open the Resize and Skew menu, then type in your desired percentage.

lets say you have 1x

just type in 200 percent

[spare geyser]

i mean that works but like heres 1x upscale next to a thing just created at 2x

[plush hound]

i mean to be fair both of those aren't in the best quality 😭

I'd recommend using paint.net next time

it's mostly identical to paint

it's just a little more advanced

this is coming from a person who drags and drops memes on a joker

[spare geyser]

the shit i be drawing when i do even draw because theres no fortnite art for the thing

feel like if i tried to draw everything here the mod would look way worse than just using fortnite assets lol

[plush hound]

there's a certain charm to a mod that has poorly drawn assets

minty's joker for example

[spare geyser]

have heard this a few times here but i feel like if i really wanted to do that for everything here it'd be like a year before the mod got any updates lol

bit of an exageration but like it'd take forever

[austere whale]

hi balatro fans

i have been gone for

a while

so

i played a lot of modded

it was fun

are there any new mods?

like half major mods

or mod updates even

i'm just behind from modded news by about 77 days

[spare geyser]

play fortlatro!!

[woven crag]

I think the cryptid rewrite got announced less than 77 days ago

That will be coming at some point

[fallow bramble]

PlayLogs

[austere whale]

fortnite mod ??

[austere whale]

a whaat

[austere whale]

should check it out

found out doc played a mod again

it was called redbull or something

how is it

[woven crag]

Cryptid is getting remade from scratch and it will be Better

[tardy sigil]

use kleki.com its so good and its just a website

[woven crag]

No longer will it suffer from bloat

[austere whale]

that's
great great news
i have a lot of problems with the current mod

[spare geyser]

yes! it adds lots of fortnite shit and even minigames

[austere whale]

sounds fun

[tardy sigil]

cryptid will finally be... good?

[woven crag]

Indeed

[austere whale]

the only good cryptid i played was entropy

[woven crag]

The current state of the rewrite is already very fun to play imo

[austere whale]

there's a playable current state???

[woven crag]

Well its not public but im a dev for it so :P

[austere whale]

oh wow

sick

pretty sure there aren't any videos about it or anything

so we just have to wait and see

[woven crag]

yea

[austere whale]

kinda pawesome

[woven crag]

Very excited for when everyone does get to see though

[spare geyser]

damn if only fortlatro had a team whos not just me maybe it could have art and get rewrites and shit

[austere whale]

lol

i also technically made a mod

it's not much

[woven crag]

thats real lmao

[austere whale]

just a queen of hearts reskin

[spare geyser]

well everything starts somewhere

[woven crag]

True

[austere whale]

i had problems even doing that 😭

[spare geyser]

the first version of fortlatro def sucked

[woven crag]

i also started as a little sponge

[spare geyser]

but now we have all this shit and its still all done terribly by me

[austere whale]

ignore that there is no original king or jack

[woven crag]

👀

[austere whale]

hell yeah, that's a lot of stuff

[spare geyser]

👀

[austere whale]

👀

[woven crag]

I want to shill my mod more

I definitely should because i actually made a release again

[spare geyser]

nice

[woven crag]

Like 5 months since the last one and the last one had the wrong version number in game 😭

[tardy sigil]

BALATRO SPRINGLFIELD UPDATE TOMORROW

[austere whale]

currently playing a mod called balatro plus

it's nice

nothing too special but

[spare geyser]

of the things people probably steal from fortlatro y'all should really steal this fr

[austere whale]

i do like some of the ideas

[spare geyser]

fortlatro can automatically update itself to the latest available version and restart

[austere whale]

oh my guh

i remember first time seeing something similar in handy

very good feature

[spare geyser]

yeah we gotta get more mods doing this fr

[woven crag]

Holy shit cryptid is 2 years old already

God damn

[austere whale]

waow

[spare geyser]

just like fortlatro!

[lost bolt]

holy shit cryptid is 2

[austere whale]

i remember scrolling through github a few days ago, there was a list of random mods and tools and everything, fortlatro was there too

[woven crag]

Cryptid 2 you say?

[spare geyser]

although fortlatro didn't release publically until jan 11th 2025 i started it back in 2024 when old calc was a thing

[austere whale]

wow

[spare geyser]

fortlatro actually USED to have a setting in the config to allow you to choose wether to play it on old calc/new calc

but thats been removed for a while now

[lost bolt]

newercalc tomorrow

[woven crag]

newer calc bros wii

[lost bolt]

greencalc

[spare geyser]

mfw newercalc breaks everything and i have to recode all of fortlatro

[austere whale]

who's oldcalc

[spare geyser]

a way older version of smods

[austere whale]

oh dam

[woven crag]

older form of card calculation

[spare geyser]

a long time ago back in like the end of 2024

smods changed how they calculate cards and stuff

and anything using that old method just crashes on modern smods

[woven crag]

oldcalc was pretty much just vanilla calculations i think

and a lot of checks were janky

[lost bolt]

thunkcalc

[spare geyser]

yeah

[woven crag]

now we are blessed by smods

[paper island]

my take on harder stakes (if i ever wanted to make a mod)
give me a feedback on should i nerf or buff what

[spare geyser]

sucks they couldn't have kept support for all the old ass mods developed then with that shit tho

[woven crag]

automated messages... xchips...

[spare geyser]

thats what i tried to do for a time with that whole setting but further updates to smods just made that like not viable in the slightest

[lost bolt]

im ngl 90% of these are just

very bad to deal with

[paper island]

welcome to kaizo balatro

old one was worse

first stake i was like

fuck it

2x blind requirement

(don't)

i thought like if gold stake is already bad

why not make it worse

[tardy sigil]

when are they making newcalc luigi U deluxe

[paper island]

the ones that's not that bad is valueless sticker and -1 consumable slot

[lost bolt]

i guess that makes sense

[paper island]

so true

[lost bolt]

-1 consumable slot is pretty bad especially on nebula deck but it's not as bad

[tardy sigil]

yeah valueless seems like a pretty cool concept

[woven crag]

Actually i think youd be pleased to know that the creator of entropy is also the lead of the cryptid rewrite project

[paper island]

but eternal sticker kind of take away the charm of valueless sticker

by getting eternal valueless

[tardy sigil]

is it still gonna be le unbalanced

[austere whale]

👀 👀 👀 👀

[paper island]

thanks

i kind of

[lost bolt]

brown stake forces you even harder into pairs, platinum crimson and diamond makes eternals that arent xmult basically useless

[paper island]

think it by myself

[woven crag]

its going to focus more on doing crazy shit than just bigger number

[tardy sigil]

woaw

[woven crag]

Though it most certainly will not be vanilla+ or anything because thats kinda just incompatible with cryptid

[paper island]

my other idea is weakened sticker (^0.98 mult and chips every time it triggers) but it make it either too hard or people can avoid it at all cost

[woven crag]

Here is the balancing statement

[paper island]

i hope they didn't nerf primus

[lost bolt]

Uh

[paper island]

my fav cryptid joker

but it's kind of weak

exponentia is better by a lot

[woven crag]

Primus is a strange one yeah

[paper island]

i would say it's high legendary

wait no

low exotic*

it doesn't really do that much except if you stall score

[woven crag]

its definitely near iterum level probably?

[paper island]

for exponent

[woven crag]

Which i think is good because iterum was the first exotic and definitely a good balancing point in my opinion

Instead of whatever current cryptid is doing

[spare geyser]

i tried to make a harder stake but its ehhh

[paper island]

finisher blinds always appears in 8 stakes

i would say make it 6 stakes instead

or 5

[toxic cloud]

finisher blinds appear every multiple of win ante, starting from win ante

[lost bolt]

something something "i was the first" ass

[paper island]

isn't it always at ante 8 16 24 32

[toxic cloud]

those are all multiples of 8

smh

[paper island]

so that's why i said reduce the interval by 2 or 3

[woven crag]

8 is the win ante

[paper island]

so like

finisher antes occured more

to make it at least a bit harder

:xd:

[lost bolt]

bro was the second joker but never got added 😭

[paper island]

free ante 39

i would make it each wild card for silly but whatever

[lost bolt]

cryptid would never give free ante 39

never

[stable juniper]

harder than high card, easier than pair ^^

[paper island]

oh shit it's from cryptid

[lost bolt]

really? i wouldve thought it slightly harder because you get more chips from the planet card

[stable juniper]

hmm, I was thinking of nerfing it actually

[lost bolt]

its sort of like

[paper island]

ngl should i buff gray stake so that 65% of jokers have valueless sticker instead of usual 30%

[lost bolt]

its easier to play than pair with default hand size, but harder if you have any hand size reduction

[paper island]

I'll take that as a no

[lost bolt]

i dont think you need to do that

since i assume its compatible with other sticker slots

[paper island]

i only see like max of 2 stickers most of the time

lemme check if I'm high

yeah there's nothing says that there's only 2 stickers max

so I'm probably high

oh yeah valueless sticker nerfs ceremonial dagger too

yeah thank goodness i scapped weakened sticker idea

^0.98 mult and chips is brutal

100k mult turned into 79k mult real quick

holy shit it's very brutal LOL

fuck it I'm adding it to my list

[paper island]

addition

[compact loom]

i dont understand ouija in the slightest.

[paper island]

wouldn't affect early game that much but when the requirement is scaled up very high and you need to finish ante 12 to win

it's horrible

[keen knoll]

i also have a mod with a custom hand

[unkempt current]

It sounds weak, and that's because it is
But because of how exponents work it becomes brutal the more score you have

I personally like exponents

[paper island]

true

0.8x would never

as a grinder i already felt like what 0.02 exponent change looks like

multiple times

[unkempt current]

Makes sense

[paper island]

unnoticeable start but brutal end

[unkempt current]

That is why i like exponents
They're literally unbalanced

[paper island]

while 0.8x is just

[unkempt current]

I managed to still balance them by forcing them to go before scoring
So you rely on your low base mult for the effect to be good

[paper island]

noticeable start noticeable end

nothing too threatening

[unkempt current]

-mult is the opposite
Noticeable start unnoticeable end

[paper island]

not really

since i make it triggers every time a joker is triggered

[paper island]

^

[unkempt current]

Oh I have a very bad idea
=Mult||™||
=Mult sets your mult to that value,
=8 mult will force your mult to become 8.
This can become brutal when your score is bigger than the value
-# I came up with the idea of =mult months ago

[unkempt current]

Ooh

Yeah exponents are bad for this

[paper island]

😭

[paper island]

at least it makes the stake more playable

than 0.8x

[wanton rapids]

entropy has had =mult for ages

[unkempt current]

I know

That's because ruby took it from me and implemented it

[paper island]

yeah 0.8x is beyond unplayable

it literally nerfs photochad to the ground

[unkempt current]

That's a sticker?,

oop

[paper island]

if

i want to make a mod

that's my take on the hardest stake

[unkempt current]

This whole thing reminds of tax
A planned 3rd factor in my mod that divides your score

[paper island]

if both photo and chad has weakened sticker (0.8x ver)

it'll do ONLY 2.6X

[unkempt current]

It nullifies the Chad effectively

[paper island]

that's why i did ^0.98 instead

it at least nerfs some build but not nerfs it to the ground

take example of baron mime

20 steel kings

fuck the calculation is harder than i expected

i think it does almost x8 million mult for ^0.98

but if i do 0.8x

i think it does 48x idk

or 1.4kx

[paper island]

my take on new decks if i made my own mod

• might remove first one

[unkempt current]

mmmm taxes

[plush hound]

wait what

[unkempt current]

Yes that's what happened

[mossy crest]

Are these balanced or should i be thrown into a giant hole filled with boiling water?

[unkempt current]

I came up with the idea in the suggestion discussion channel in the cryptidcord and ruby just implemented it in the mod
It was in the very early stages of the dev of the mod and I was in there

i don't think I was credited for that...

[tardy sigil]

Seems fair for rares I suppose

No offence but have you tried making better art

[mossy crest]

LMAAOOOOO

you are getting screenshotted

[tardy sigil]

Im being genuine 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[mossy crest]

that makes it funnier

[tardy sigil]

Can't argue with that

[long hare]

"No offence but have you tried making better art" is what i want to say to many people who make custom jokers, thanks for saying something i couldnt

[long hare]

tbh you should learn how to make art closer to balatro's style, at least make it pixel art

[mossy crest]

nuh uh

anyway i already got an artist to work on the art side of the mod recently

[tardy sigil]

facts dont care about your feelings or smth idk i just hope people can make good art otherwise people aren't gonna give a shit about the mod you make

[unkempt current]

We all want to say that but we don't (or even can't for me)
But you've decided to go all in

[mossy crest]

she is the one who is making balatro repainted

[tardy sigil]

Oh sick

[unkempt current]

mmmm

[unkempt current]

Wait why is Todd and steven

[mossy crest]

but i can make good art, its just that i cant do good pixel art

[unkempt current]

Oof that's true...

[unkempt current]

that makes

That makes sense

[mossy crest]

but uh yeah, thanks for ganging up on me and telling me my art looks like shit 👍

[tardy sigil]

Tbf you do see a lot of really good artists lose all skill when trying pixel art

Its a lot different than you think

[unkempt current]

okay

[unkempt current]

I didn't say your art was horrible

[long hare]

tbh its the opposite for me
all my skill is in pixel art but my trad & digital are terrible

[mossy crest]

and i am limiting myself to a smaller canvas so the cards translate well so i can not put as much detail as i normally can

[unkempt current]

You just need to train
The only way to get better at something is to train

[steel horizon]

Least op misprint run

[unkempt current]

That used to be something brutal for me when I started pixel art

[tardy sigil]

Buzz lightyear store gif

[unkempt current]

You would be correct

That is generic

[mossy crest]

i mean, i dont even think it looks bad, it is just that it doesn't conform to the style

[unkempt current]

It's alright

[mossy crest]

but like is it balanced? i wanted opinions on that and not the art style

[unkempt current]

I don't see any balance or scale

[tardy sigil]

Really?

[unkempt current]

Oh this is rare versions of the guys

[tardy sigil]

Yeah

[mossy crest]

yeah, its their mothers who are proud of their gay sons

[unkempt current]

I also came up with the same exact idea, I just used Xmult and Xchips instead

[mossy crest]

yeah, i was gonna do that but i think the thunkster said that Xchips went against his rules

[steel horizon]

Do i keep going?

[unkempt current]

That doesn't force me to not use them

This is probably the only time I decided to be inconsistent with thunk

I like Xchips

[mossy crest]

yeah, Xchips are like a modding staple

[steel horizon]

Think e55 is aight

[mossy crest]

its like tomato in yo food

not everyone likes it but it is certainly common

[unkempt current]

Why do people not like it
What's wrong with more variety

Thunk's reasoning is fair but if you said "it is similar to Xmult" then that doesn't stop me from being more creative

I guess

But at the end of the day everybody has their opinion

[steel horizon]

Think it's a lil capped

[mossy crest]

well yeah, they do the same thing if it is not on plasma deck

BUT there are things like joker positioning that does make it different

also there is the philosophy of "Mult is XChips"

[unkempt current]

Mult feels like Xchips, but mathematically it is not
Yeah it also makes you think more about joker positions, like an alt Xmult that cares and interacts with chips
It also technically is different on playing cards because X1.5 then +50 (from a joker) is not similar to +50 and X1.5

Help this pjone

[winged prism]

Making XChips Jokers while also trying to balance would probably involve figuring out numbers you don't have a reference for. Idk I never bothered touching XChips

Like it definitely would have to be lower numbers than XMult

[mossy crest]

Yeah, during cards being played is also an exception where Xchips is unique

I was gonna have an Xchips but only when cards where being played but nah

[stable juniper]

:3

hmm. actually i might redo Bonzi Buddy, and have her sitting there instead of possessing him :3

[exotic belfry]

Bonzi would never let his beautiful likeness be taken over tbf

[placid falcon]

My first joker

[mossy crest]

Absolutely love the idea

[placid falcon]

Thanks, I also made these vouchers to go with the theme. I cant tell if theyre too strong though, tier 2 makes all numerators = denominators (so 100%)

i have to say, TOGA's Stuff is the most difficult mod to give good Ghost Cards support for, so far

like what do i even do here
