oh im very much sure i tagged the right person over this
have you also read about why mr bmm
Where have I accused someone of something?
are we reading the same message?
I haven't seen that one
anyway uhh
im going to say something funny now because this conversation is such a nothingburger
It's not about that. But maintaing BMM so everyone is happy
uhhh uhhhhhhhhhhh
Watching the whole situation unfold really hampered my opinion of BMM, especially with how long it took for you to follow through with N's request, and now begging for him to reinstate his mods on your platform. That combined with essentially your complete absence within the community as a whole just makes BMM feel nothing more than a necessary evil. As soon as a competent competitor comes up, which I'm certain one will, expect a removal request from myself too
six seven
Everyone will be happy when that smods-side manager becomes a thing
imma go to bed
Why is everyone so passive aggressive? I wasn't begging anyone, I was just asking for feedback
sleep well frost
fuck everything
imm already exists idk why people don't use that instead
raah
who said anything about being passive
I understand. If a competitor comes, I'd be happy to archive BMM. And yes, you're right, I was abscent from the Balatro community for a while because I had more important things to do in my life then care about a program which install mods for a card game
honk shoooo honk mimimimi
does this automatically add mods or do you have to manually put them on?
youll always have to manually add mods to indexes/managers
I'm talking about a hypothetical competitior which does not exist yet
there simply isnt a way to automatically detect every balatro mod and add them
i was referring to bmm itself
anyway
It's manual
Y'all! I've just seen a sucker for love mod of this game!
Bleach and Pumice haha
Whats the latest smods?
zeebee2
1620a
Smods? What's that?
the latest release is whatever's at the top of the page 
thx
Ok btw love your pfp
oh i think i saw the problem
hmm. now i need to start being clever
i had a mod that said i was using dev version
ty
ty i didn't make it nor can i share it for reasons explained in my bio
Ok
its unreliable, its lazy and if there was real passion behind this project surely youd learn and put your 2 cents into it on how it should be and make it yourself instead of asking a sloppy robot to do it instead
i dont think there needs to be further discussion on why vibe coding sucks
learn to use your time wisely instead of thinking youre wasting it making something for the general public
just like astra said i expect a successor soon
i spit on the floor looking at this
this paragraph was long due 
i thnink its because i used the code download and not the libnk
Yes
ah so im stubid, thats the case
i think the main issue i have against the use of AI in programming is that you're not learning from using it
all well and good if it's able to do cool things, but can you do cool things?
also AI kinda stops programmers from socialising
that's a big reason, but there's also the ethical problems with the training data and the environmental problems of running the ai
meow meow :3
instead of asking someone who exists and who you might become friends with, you're asking a wall that can talk
I already know the stack that I am using, that's why I picked it in the first place. Not a good reason tbh
That I understand
yeah this one too.
anyway let's move on :3
mb i got a bit heated
uhhhhh
joker poker
balala
Mb big brother is watching
yo is there any mod that can give me hotkeys to change the cards n stuff
Handy probably
DebugPlus
"change the cards"?
thanks ñ
enyay
what if i add yummers to Opus Magnum
nommers
Chat is this Glucose
like i think my friend said there was a mod where u can like change the cards to glass holographic etc with keybinds but he says he cant remember what it is
Oh yeah that'd be DebugPlus
Oh, yeah thats debugplus
kk thx both of u
Hi, my name is Chat, nice to meet you
No don't say good morning it's the afternoon rn
good timening
Hmmm
timenings?
false
i'm gonna take a break ^^;;;
What time is it then
its 67
I think your name should be GhostPepper cuz this is fire
Lowkey im bored and i havent done anything in a while
Should i update item remover
man i gotta get back into balatro modding,,, i probably missed out on so much
banner exists now
Holy shit they made Item Remover But Better
It is way more built up since I've seen you last
cryptid 2.0 announcement
They're making Jen's Almanac Prequel
25 new rarities 1e308 new jokers
Thats a bit too many
a tad
I'm still begging for people to play my mod to this day
aikoshen has the benefit of being played by some streamers in the past
play my hit mod called #1415395671241920592
Potential #⚙・modding-general message for inspection. 📋

holy gem
Wonder if they know it's back, or even left in the first place
its called polterworx now btw
i appreciate the source code being visible
Take the "No SWAP" challenge! run that mod and survive
uhhh is it bad that balatro crashed without the handler appearing
im guessing its a stack overflow
hello guys
hi
hello guys
yeah i love wordle
is there any way to play Modded Balatro on IOS
The rules of this server state that it's forbidden to discuss modding on anything other than pc
you should definitely not look up the steamodded wiki though
Aside from like steam deck and stuff cuz it uses steam OS which is linux
there is definitely nothing there for you
It's not that you're not allowed to mod on other stuff it's just against the rules to encourage in this server
i apologize
well it is because its against the terms of service of other platforms technically
I meant on localthunk's end
because thunk doesnt want those companies on his ass for supporting it
I thought it would be cool to have a modded version of Balatro right in my pocket.
wink wink
thanks
I mean it's your device do whatever you want, it's just good to note any possible consequences for breaching apple's tos
if youre planning to mod anything on mobile youre probably very aware
hey would anyone hate it if i fixed the deck creator mod?
i dont see why
i dont think theres even a ton to fix its just outdated patches for new lovely versions
or something related to that
belive me i tried getting help fixing ULTRACOINS for ULTRAKILL and people just acted like "how dare you stand where he once stood"
if it was in the new blood discord then im not surprised because that place is full of some weird mfs
ah true.
... i have no idea where to look
wait ill just loock for the crash
its looking for a file directry with "lua"
im fairly certain its some lovely module failing to apply since that seems to be the crash usually
its in `local function customLoader(moduleName)
local filename = moduleName:gsub("%.", "/") .. ".lua"
if moduleCache[filename] then
return moduleCache[filename]
end
local filePath = "Mods/Deck Creator/" .. filename
local fileContent = love.filesystem.read(filePath)
if fileContent then
local moduleFunc = assert(load(fileContent, "@"..filePath))
moduleCache[filename] = moduleFunc
return moduleFunc
end
return "\nNo module found: " .. moduleName
end`
the weird thing with this is that this isnt even using require which i think is what usually causes that error
wait, the crash is like about loading a ModLoaderHelper right
yeah. its looking for 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro\lua\ModloaderHelper.lua' no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro\lua\ModloaderHelper\ini
thers is no LUa folder.
so we just need to make it not look for a lua folder
or move it there
ill try moving it
looking in the code its trying to load files with require which is a quite outdated method i assume
as it isnt loading any lovely modules
ugh who made this.
if anything i think the mod at least would need a pretty big refactor since a lot of this code is like 2 year old methods
... welp not my job i barely understood .lua from cellua
Did I hear...
CelLua?
Oh the memories
I remember being a fan of cell machine before it inevitably died
hi meta
hello chat
hi metaaaaaa
so far the hatchet bug list is extensive but not game breaking
which is rly good news
you should add the scourge virus from invincible 👀
that's not a material -u-
☹️
You should add a gun
that's not a material -u-
I'm gonna turn you into a material
what am i doing
i can just make a mod of my own that adds the scourge virus
wire (might be a bit complex, idk)
You should add carbon dioxide
Uranus looks like a default blender ball
what do you guys think
Not enough nil for my taste.
im guessing something like this?
I have ideas for my own mod but i want to finish balatro repainted first
but i am kinda tiring of just following a list
I've discovered that while trying to make planets in blender
but i know if i left the mod in hiatus exist a 90% probabilities of i forgot
uranus irl be like
idk how even they discorvered it rotates in 90 degress
like, dude, there is no pole there
also here's diamond
btw, uhhh
i decided balatro repainted will take a break after doing the planet cards
:3
your art is really good, idk if i said that before
I second this
🫠
Silly face :3
:3c
all the secert code works were found btw
"Man whoever coded this joker is stupid as fuck"
Me looking at the joker i made
I'm trying to do an xmult joker but it feels wrong to have an xmult joker just be a jimbo edit/jimbo in a <costume>, usually i feel they do a little more with it
relatable
If i have a boss blind that discards cards at the start of the round, should that trigger yorick/castle/whatever
maybe i should come up with a different keyword for removing those cards for this blind
me opening feli's jokeria source code
why are there two metallic cinnabar
you can never have enough metallic cinnabar
mistake ^^;;;;;
that should be Reactive Cinnabar
thanks for pointing that out :3
also there's a stray pixel in the bottom left on the border
Changed it with campfire black
kinda better idk try the inner iris black and the bg being regular planet card bg blue
local 58??
shit
i accidently mixed them up
Local 58 is the moon
is 5 extra discards for an ante too much for a deck effect?
what?!- TwT
5 extra discards you can choose to use anytime during the ante
Sorry if lackbuster but here is the "Alpha" of balatro repainted, didnt do the spectrals, i am kinda tired of making the same again and again
Can you leave specifically black hole unchanged
That would be a little funny from expectation subversion
will be repainted
And then when you hover over it it says “some mf told me not to change it 💀”
but i dont want to do spectrals rn
chat is this cool or should i go outside
i have the most jokers ever
after too many jokers 2
ai said 🤓
pokermon jokers are pokemon not cards
What should I add to my mod, UberEnhanced
Elite ball knowledge
I'm still begging people to play my fucking mod like some kind of beggar 😭
My totally serious mod i was talking about
Would people not get repulsed from my art style?
(The logo is bad in purpose)
I saw your mod a lot of times on the wiki
I'm going to try it out just for you 💜
Adore the logo
got it <3
It doesn't work with balatros resolution
we'll see about that
we will seee
can anyone give me ideas on what i should use for a balatro mod?
i've kind of accepted that you should just make a mod for yourself because its not guaranteed that anyone else will play it
how do i make a custom rarity cuh
EW MIXELS
anyone?
what do you mean by use
jokerforge is a nice thing for beginners, it's easy but kinda sucks
ik but i need ideas for the name, desc, and jokers
ngl we can't help you out with that unless you have a theme in mind
and what part of it is supposed to come from you?
if not then just throw a bunch of cards in the air, pick them up, and hope some random idea spontaneously generates
"anyone have an idea for a mod"
if i did i would make it
i mean if i throw ideas at you and you do all the work i meannn
looks good to me
make a joker that has a 1 in 4 chance to retrigger a joker when it triggers
boom
that doesnt look like balatro
ok
what if you redrew the border and text as well
Great idea 🔥
You're supposed to sprite on 1x res
I meeeaaan it looks good I don't see what you're talking about
c o n s i s t e n c y .
its not consistent with balatro's art style
"Will it repulse people?" "Yeah it will" "Nooo, I don't think so it's fine actually"
That's not what she was talking about
She was talking about resolution and stuff
But it looks fine when it comes to the resolution
ah, here's your 1x sprite
Are you taking "it doesn't work with balatros resolution" literally? 😭
She said it wouldn't work but it looks fine in game
You can put sprites of any size, they won't look good
s("they won't look good", "they won't be consistent with basegame")
this is what we call mixels, where the resolution is different than intended resolution, or when the resolution is different across the image itself
it CAN look good if used properly, but it often seen as a naive mistake for newbie pixel artists
I have no experience with pixel art and I'm trying to improvise
Well
Draw over the joker with pixel art
I am BAD at making jimbo-like jokers
Yeah I am aware
Well most of your Jokers are actually Joker like
So
Do what this guy did
Take Jokers apart and piece the parts together
You've looked at my other jokers?
Yeah
That's good advice though tbh
Tbh atleast this example joker is an improvement
Kinda yeah
First joker of my personal mod
Did you forget- oh wait it has shading now
Is there an option to revert the menu changes?
I really really don't like it when a mod changes how the menu looks
whoops
like the colour
right
I want it 100% normal
i should probably have a toggle for it
what mods do I get
Like even the little goober that puts itself in the title name
💀
Saturn (16x speed is awesome)
Banner (helps filter out slop in mods)
Card sleeves (classic)
Ortalab (Probably the most professional mod there is)
Paperback (Introduces the spectrum hand and feels like an official DLC)
Fusion Jokers (Adds a new mechanic that adds depth)
Fusion Force (addon to Fusion Jokers)
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1502682917741002913 (obligatory advertisement of my own very shitty mod)
Oh and Galdur
Galdur is literally a mod that everyone should have
It makes navigating menus so much easier
How are you going to play solitaire then?
tanks :-)
your mod is not shitty
you should use thunderstorm mod manager
I'm scared of lightening
Wait what?
I mean, the art is kinda icky but I feel like the jokers are really good
I gotta update it soon though
So you're going to boot up Balatro, you have aikoshen installed. You will see Aiko on your title screen, click them
Oohh
Also Saturn is DEAD get Handy
Okie
It’s sounding like Galdur might be getting folded into Smods very soon
Btw is there like a discord server for maximus I have a bug I wanna report
Aight
Wait huh???????
Probably so that frontend doesn't get fired
How do I mod my cards?
I found some neat card mods that changes the face cards, and would like to mod them in
I got probably a heavy question on my shoulders. ... should I delete my Discord account, I want to but I don't want to miss talking to my online friends.
You're asking a biased audience here
But I need your help. I might want to have a happy life for once! Not bound by social media! Or maybe interact with you guys here, but I feel a pain in my stomach.
It's entirely possible to be on social media yet still avoid whatever you're wanting to escape
Discord for one is not algorithmic based, the likes of youtube, tiktok, instagram, etc. all use algorithms to push whatever negative message you're distressed about
This means you can do both simultaneously
If the issue originates from discord then it's the same process as if it weren't, but rather than cutting off discord entirely you only cut off the part(s) that are causing distress
Should I just get off Discord?
bruh
I'm saying if discord specifically is the issue you can just cut out the specific part(s) causing it, that way you don't have to leave everything behind
If it's algorithmic based social medias that are the problem then just stop using them or switch up what you watch
What's bothering you, Jade
The truth is, I want to leave Discord but I don't want to leave behind a community.
Is there any reasons why?
Why would you leave?
I... have that bad feeling in my stomach, like it's begging me wanting to leave this place for good... but I don't want to say goodbye interacting with actual humans like you.
Camostar especially.
You know what, how about this
Take a break
Come back when you feel better
We are still here
If anything, we want to see you get better
Sure, for how long?
Until you feel like you've improved or you feel better
Let's take criticism that you've been receiving from others and probably learn from it, not everything is about you, Jade
Did this stem from some kind of incident or something because aside from general anxiety I can't think of how this explanation can be the full picture
Probably an incident.
But I'm going to take a break.
Should I come back after a week or two?
I think that's the best you can do right now
Take your time.
Until you feel much better
take a break jade if its the right think for u
What do you mean probably
Just... rubbed some people the wrong way... that's all.
Something to take from my book is that even if I end up pissing someone off it's only a minor event in the lives of everyone involved, thus if I fuck up it's easier to apologize or simply just move on, if they got mad at something unreasonable or really small I know not to give a shit
Thing is, this has been going on for a bit more than a short event
At least what I can get between lines
If it's been more than one event then they should either push for a resolution or just cut it off entirely
In the end whatever space it's in is only a speck in discord's database, there's a lot more servers they can be in without having to stress over it
Why are people going around moist critikal’s videos saying “my farts are better than charlie’s farts”
So should I just go for the break or leave for good?
Ah yes, my own human excrement is far superior compared to the dastardly crap that this buffoon Charlie AKA penguinz0 could ever make
If you leave for good you will eventually regret it, cave in, and make a new account
Like what
Uttp slander likely
...true.
It's not worth the further complication so just don't go on the app for a few days or whatever until you're level headed enough to actually make meaningful decisions
It seems as though I’ve not noticed the serious conversation happening here
Quite one, yeah
Can you catch me up to speed
Dw guys I'm a professional (I am lying as I am a culinary major)
...guess I'll take a week long break.
What’s Jade leaving for?
Basically, uhhhh Jade was considering deleting discord for good due to a series of incidents from a server
Did they go into detail about said incidents?
Or do they wanna keep quiet about it
They said they rubbed the wrong people
...I just got people uncomfortable... that's all.
Oh, it’s one of those times. I’m sure you’ll find a way to navigate these feelings in a healthy manner.
Stay safe.
Bide your time, we will wait for your return
This truly was a balatro guys
put me in
astarghfirullah
We should add
Add joker
You should release on github anyway, you can set it as a pre release
Hello guys
my mid mod
my mid-est mod
Hey, is there any tutorial for adding mods to balatro?
she
ok so im tryin to make a skin mod and man its so hardd
more so the codein
does anyone got any tips?
my niche mod
how so?
geometry dash
i mean, i did hit the target audience with NothingIsScary (gd community)
lmao
im doing commissions now
Like a texture pack?
Malverk is cool
Is there a mod that lets me choose which suit sigil copies? 💔
theres such thing as skill issue
Yeah I really don't care?
It just generally feels like there's no use for it if it's like the deck fixing equivalent of wheel of fortune where it has a 3 in 4 chance to mess up your deck fixing progress
And only a 1 in 4 chance to not set you back
well if you're using it on cards that aren't your target suit it's actually a net neutral card
just draw better 
The real skill issue is how i just accidentally pressed quit while trying to go into the options settings
Yeah you know what
valid
but either way that mod doesnt exist
you just gotta get better
I just checked 2v2 code, why tf they have function which returns G and many other checks
I mean sanity checks is good but in not that degree bro
return G??
Is there a mod that removes all the rng from the game
lmao
the root????
thats not even a sanity check
Huh????
thats just G with extra steps
Is it like used in the mod
I tried, but there's problems:
- Particles rely on rng
- shop queue relies on rerolling, if you keep same number output all the time, game will stuck
Oh lmao
In short it's possible only if you manually adjust this in places where this can be done
otherwise game just stuck trying to reroll just another UNAVAILABLE from pool
I was trying like returning single number
e
Then realized that this not work, I tried returning number + increment
it works but meh
Anyway, so so much sanity checks
Only sanity check you should do is checking existence of G.GAME
Everything else exist all the time
I'm sorry we have PvP balatro?
Long time ago
yea????
Cool
there always has been pvp
Damn
but 2v2/coop/FFA is less popular due to it being kinda new
Fuck you mean always
Play my 2v2
just play pairs bro
Malverk is the goat
Two pairs
im gonna wash your ass
free will
Okay
It's more about just getting luckier???
If someone kept failing wheel of fortune roles would you also tell them "just get better"?
only on plasma
one of the easiest blocks of my life goddamn
if you rely on a wheel to win you a game then you're doing smth wrong bro
I mean yeah that would be funny
Did you seen Doc? He forgot how to lose
if someone kept failing wheel of fortune until they lose the game yeah they should get better
Guys, what is this luck?
take none
youre right
or is it negative
using pointer to get pointer❤️
I mean thats what you must do
Yeah true
to get pointer in slots
When find second and slap plinko
and congrats you have infinite pointers
or any other way to mate infinite code cards
alot
dark skin for Balatro, it's blue deck
1 in 4, it said so on the gamba tag
👀
fish
salty ghost doing so much alchemy, theres no way each one get unique effects 
correct :3
these are just layouts that get added to ur grid :>
oh ya @plush hound i'm doing ZzzZz now, what kind of art did you want again?
this is its label
there are two
yo sup anyone want to play crypted?
you should #1326135270759993364
oh right hold on
sorry i was eating 😭
nxkoo
aiko
fitting for the John Misprint of retro games to be in a misprint themed mod
👀
it's bound to happen
gotchagotcha ^u^
by "sticks out of the spectral frame", what do you mean?
like, a soul element?
i think means just, doesnt stay within the border of it
right, gotcha
ngl it wouldve been rlly funny if u made emperor V2 from ultrakill
Should I lowk translate my Spanish mod to English or nah
Most of the references are like very niche to foreigners
Mario Paint gnat attack
i had photochad 4fingers and smiley face and just got planted
begging for what
Id lowk need to do that for a bmm release tho 🤔
Play my mod #1326135270759993364
grezzo due and Mexican Drug Dealer didnt need reference changes to be enjoyed by foreigners
Wait a second.... i dont think thats your mod...
You know who Pablo motos is idk bru but fine
play revos vault https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1460803688418377863
@plush hound how's this
I wasn’t talking about reference
Please
idk who the fuck MIT AIA is and yet i rly liked BDD
I won’t publish my mod here yet tho 😬
Un sol corpo un sol spirito un solo signore
Alright I’ll just trust on my gp
I should fucking add Grezzo Due to Jokeria tbh
I have to do censorship of some “explicit” topics which is changing a joker with a dingaling as a texture cuz my artist didn’t think of anything else
Anyways opinions on custom suits??
do whatever u like
Yall like playing with more than 4 or nah
its your mod
Im not gonna remove a core part of the mod i just want to know what people think
I personally do not but yeah it’s your mod lol
good rule of thumb is if u like ur mod and have fun with it you add it
I did i just need some more jokers new mechanics and decks
We have like 98 jokers by now
Impressive
Lots of them
I have 150 thought of in ideas
Many Jokers
One thing Edmund mcmillen taught me is just to inflate my game
i have a lot of jokers concepted but like 20% are implemented
i have yet to do more jokers and im tempted to give sigils to existing cards because having 3 cards that are weak and do nothing is useless
112 jokers #OKAYMAN
It’s starting to get to a point where i might be just “”””borrowing”””” a lot of ideas from Isaac
I added curses lol and it’s super fun tbh
I have thought of a legendary joker that sets your ante to 1
Yes ik cryptid alr did that
Still
ts R key
I personally DO!!!! add 100 suits NOW!!!!
I have placenta too
i just guessed it was R key because my friend suggested an R key joker with that exact effect to me before lmfao
My mods custom suit is the POOP suit dude idk what got to my dev
i dont actually play isaac 😭
Id also love to add a boss you can only get to when reaching ante 8 in a set amount of time
making a joker (programming) vs making a joker (art) coughing baby vs hitler
Okay HUSH
coughing baby hitler over here
Ok it’s getting evident
Actually adding paths would be cool
Id like a timed boss, a huge boss at ante 14 and maybe 2 more bosses that you can only get with specific conditions
You know how in the No Players Online you combine souls of those made up video games and get new made up video games
I wish there was a game that just took on this concept but like
As it's main thing instead
you are missing out on a lot
Copyright hell but for ng would be fun
Made up video games!!!
Then ok
Can I extract aikoshen's soul and store it in a bottle or smth
please don't 🥺
Okay I won't
aikoyori almanac not real
Is there a mod that lets you add any card in the game to consumable slots or voucher/jokers?
Not a new one but for example you can add blueprint for free
DebugPlus?
Is it on neus?
why are you downloading mods for balatro off of nexus
We don't like Nexus and probably not
#1209506514763522108
the worst mod site ever created
Because most of the mods are on nexus and it's convinient
no?
most mods aren't on nexus and its the worst way to download mods
and pretty much all the mods that are there havent been updated in over a year
IMM is far easier
Most of the ones i need
.
all of the ones you need are on the other methods of downloading
It's kinda dumb to use Nexus when you're literally on this server
It's just easier to find mods there
it is not
The mod search is vastly bigger
#1209506514763522108 exists 😭
What are you talking about
like 99% of mods are in the forum
What are YOU talking about 😭
at LEAST you could use the balatro mod managert
thats really not that good but its still better than nexus
I like how the conversation went from me asking for a mod that would make so i can give myself a blueprint joker and it's not 4 flaming me for using nexus
I guess amount of porn mods on nexus is pretty big but like idk man
Ts not the reason 😭
I do big dawg
mod devs
no mod devs use nexus anymore
i think ive heard of maybe 1 actual decent quality mod being uploaded there in like a year
or updated
I won't judge but it's not like they're good or anything
anyway
Haven't seen any actual porn ones tho
I think i have it i just dont know the commands
hold tab
Hover over a card in collection > press 3
The deny is RIGHT there 😭
Aight
why do i have to log in to download mods
You have to log in to discord to download mods
why do i need a separate account
no you dont
theres like 1 mod hosted on discord
github, IMM
when i already use discord to ask for questions anyway
everything is on github basically
Discord is separate account too
or IMM yeah
#1209506514763522108 is an easy way to Alternatively get them, but to have a forum post they need to publicly available on something like github
Internatioal mod manger idk
is it easier to just use an existing account that I'm already using or make a brand new account to download from a site
except imm is kind of
anyway that's besides the point
not really being developed right now i think
point is nexus is not popular around here
Discord is not an existing account idk why would you complain about making an account to download mods while saying that there is mods on discord
HOWEVER i think theres like an official mod manager (as in from steamodded) in the works
you can just look on GitHub bro it isn't that hard
if youre using discord then your discord account already exists (= existing)
Had to create it at some point
then you already have it
yes but i didnt NEED to create it just to mod one game
i created it because i wanted to
Oh please, you already use discord and you most likely didn't create your account for modding
You create a nexus account to mod many games
its a modding website though
What is the point of complaining about making account to mod
i shouldnt need an account to begin with
@sterile basin
literally no other platform for mods needs an account
It's used to track downloads and unique downloads
To sort mods by downloads
modrinth:
you can track regular downloads without an account and just only track unique ones from logged in users
You can track this shit without needing an account what are you on
also you dont even need to track unique downloads
How do you track unique downloads without an account
I'm curious
thunderstore and modrinth both track just any downloads and this works just fine
why would you need to track that
Helo
unique downloads is a pointless statistic
in 99% of situations its pretty much the same rankings as all downloads
So you can't download your mod 1500 times and push it to the top of the fucking front page 😭
a problem that only exists because the site is built to encourage the Bigger Metrics Equals Better Content™ mindset
(like 99% of the internet is built like that these days)
there are a few ways to detect it
At this point i don't even know what people are talkin about
The fuck is bigger metrics equals better content
Mindset
again i insist on not recommending downloading from nexus
well, what's the purpose of sorting by downloads?
You don't because why tf you need that. Even if anybody ever cared, making account requirement because of that is ridiculous
Yeah that's the point of this whole fucking discussion
for a majority of games the top most downloaded is in the tens or hundreds of thousands of downloads
you are not going to be able to just spoof that many downloads unless you genuinely dont do anything else in your life
I said why 2 messages below
There's probably tools to do that
and in games where it is less it is very possible to just, say, put a per-ip cooldown on tracking downloads
Since you get paid for mods on nexus it makes sense if you pay to get more downloads
That's still very fucking dumb
and the site needs metrics to determine how much to pay people
bigger metrics = better (worth more $$$) content
i mean
downloads dont even say anything anyway
Becauuse people tend to download things that are good
if someone downloads it and thinks it sucks it still counts
idk what you're saying anymore
you cant tell if something is good without downloading and trying it
Idk what YOU'RE saying anymore
something something dont judge a book by its cover
Implying that Cryptid is good
we are derailing the argument
anyway
there, just like that
bigger metrics = better content
Well they don't always do
i don't recommend nexus because of its gated downloads and less than stellar publishing experience
theres a reason the majority of modding platforms dont sort by most downloaded by default
this is what i wanted to say
no more derailing
What is wrong with publishing
i cannot automatically publish a release onto it
most downloaded is also usually more of a hall of fame than actual quality, if a mod got downloaded hundreds of thousands of times years ago but now arent really played at all for whatever reason then it probably isnt actually good by today's standards
when you make a release on GitHub you would want to put that thing on other sites too
also i think thunderstore does it just much better
since it uses a likes system
Can't we have like one single popular website for mods that doesn't suck ass and has every mod
i mean youll never have one site for every mod
nah
best we can do is a site that indexes all the other sites
because uploading a mod is always a decision
xkcd competing standards meme

geometry dash is like
gd has had mods very late in its life
7 times older
And it got proper mods in like 2023
so the ceiling is higher
still before balatro did
Not the point
twin i just said why
also yeah
They got one single mod manager for every mod
twin
there isnt as much ask for a balatro mod manager
listen
gd modding requires more knowledge than balatro modding
you're comparing numbers and tables
Genuine question why
Why what
context clues say "one of the preceding messages, of which there are several"
GD modding uses C++/Rust
There's one message that is worth replying to
which basically means it delves deeper into the inner workings of the game
balatro modding is quite literally just downloading some files and moving them
"there isn't as much ask for a balatro mod manager"?
and all but one of them go into the exact same location
Balatro is a singleplayer game made on love2d, you can literally extract the game's executable and Lua is easy as fuck
I can guess because c++ is harder than lua
you need to be aware of more things that aren't abatracted like memory management and race conditions
If there is 3 messages from ONE single person in a ROW then i'm replying to them
unlike lua where everything is abstracted
Trying to disagree for no reason
That makes sense
very specific method of conversation you have
it does not generalize to everyone on the entire internet
if you look into love2d you'll see that it uses C libraries for stuff
doesn't matter
Not the point of the fucking conversation
Stop gripping to anything just to flame me
let me put it in simpler language
Aight thanks
do you know Minecraft
Bro i get it
not what i'm doing
I understand why gd modding is harder than balatro 😭
it's easier to mod Java because you can just extract the files
You made it crystal clear big dawg
Literally is
use context clues
it is harder to mod on Bedrock because the code goes thru a lot of steps to become a glob that runs on the machine
You're not gripping to anything just to flame me you're ragebaiting
Alrgiht
you say "use context clues"
i point out that the context clues are ambiguous
??>?? ?? ? ? ? what could it have possibly meant by this
You complain about me not replying to a person which i obviously meant the message to
Java compiles into a jar then runs that JAR in what essentially translates to machine code
you were asked "why what"
this constitutes evidence that it was not "obvious"
It is pretty obvious
Ok dawg
not obvious enough
Someone told me that gd is harder to mod than balatro
I asked why
That is the most obvious and normal question
consider that this literally doesnt matter anymore
Why would i ask why if there isn't as much ask for a balatro mod manager
WHY
because you want to know maybe ?
thats generally why you ask questions
to get an answer
It makes more sense to ask why gd modding is harder than balatro modding
that seemed like a thing you might want to know, considering you're here wondering why there isn't one centralized modding source
That is the harder question
subjective
but
again
I have a old chat with ideas, i Will see that i guess
this really. doesnt matter
Most of the people aren't familiar with coding languages games are written on
nah, comparing programming languages is super straightforward, social questions are the hard ones
bear in mind that you're saying this in a modding-centric chatroom
Go outside and ask 10 people if c++ is harder than lua
look
Guess how many people would respond correctly
i dont think having a 10 minute long discussion about the meaning of a single message is very productive
i study comsci i probably know a thing or two about computers
Not in #💻・modding-dev
why should i? this isn't about people on the street, it's about the balatro modding community
ohhhh my god
Sonion rings 😭
Most of the people in modding community just download shit from nexus and enjoy their life
for someone who likes context clues so much, you sure aren't noticing them
are you fr
Do you think i know what language my cyberpunk mod for unlimited perk points is written on 😭
well now i don't
Main problem of mod manager is: hosting mods is not free. You need infrastructure + api + preferrably website for all of that
or you offload that shit to GitHub for some reason
not only that, it need be able to download mods, resolve versions and deps
which in current state where metadata file can be any name is like 
whotf authorized this
i call for manifest.json
i call it metadata.json
that might work better
anyway, it should be one defined filename
i agree
Zoned back in hello
Incorrect, most people download Cryptid and never try anything else
Hopefully I'm wrong but like
i would venture that the majority of people who just download cryptid and call it a day aren't really in the community
most people just
most people dont just download shit from nexus because jokerdisplay is not there
they just wanna play a mod
this is not even a funny bit because i made it, i do think this proves that wrong since it's a very popular mod that is not there and it only got added to thunderstore recently
Trending balatro mods on Nexus have 1-3 likes what are we talking about
I wish there was a mod that would add JUST cryptid decks 💔
please play my shitty mod
What is it even about
Sorry, those are called "endorsements" apparently
i guess that you could play cryptid and use its gamesets menu to ban everything else except the decks
that kinda sounds like a pain though
America
after 3 fucking months of being without internet i open discord
and this is what i see
Ok
you can do anything you want
ok
You can play scrabble or solitaire
Can someone give me a peak pfp
I'm sorry bro i have to keep shilling to make ends meet
aiko did anyone pointed to you that insanely aggressive ways to promote your mod can have opposite effect?
