HOLD UP

#

give me 10 minutes

weak hawk
#

high

somber smelt
#

I'd just like to remind everyone - please don't discuss exploits here. There is a line just make sure it isn't crossed, it's in the server rules

jaunty star
#

what is the line 🙏

somber smelt
#

This is kind of on the bug side of the line right now and Shadow has been helping me fix that

weak hawk
#

i set it to off and restarted the game, the sticker is there!

dusty willow
#

im still confused about what you mean by not discussing exploits, could you please explain it to me?

somber smelt
weak hawk
#

ill check

long crypt
#

thank you for letting me be a nusance

sudden relic
#

also cannot reproduce it with the new patch. But i am no expert with that bug, so it doesn't mean much ^^

somber smelt
weak hawk
#

medium is still there, im gonna set to high and restart again

jaunty star
#

so embedded content is a no

somber smelt
#

I can't be super specific but basically just be mindful of anything I might not appreciate being shared or discussed

weak hawk
#

aaand its gone! so its an issue with high

long crypt
#

ill try the same thing on the new version in a bit

somber smelt
weak hawk
#

lmao okay

jaunty star
#

bomb the issue

weak hawk
#

thatd do it

jaunty star
#

nuke it

somber smelt
#

You actually can't tell a difference anyway

weak hawk
#

yeah i cant tell tbh

somber smelt
#

It basically reloads the textures at super high res but medium is more than high res enough

weak hawk
#

medium will be the new high đŸ’Ș

somber smelt
#

I like how you think!

#

I'll just make it off/on, with medium being on

jaunty star
#

but the textures are intentionally pixelated

normal sun
#

some people may find it jarring to the eyes

somber smelt
#

When they are at a non 0 degree angle, the antialiasing is a little weird if you don't use high res textures

normal sun
#

i've had that experience with similar things in the past, although this one is fine for me

somber smelt
#

That is what the setting represents

weak hawk
#

oh hey my screen resolution setting is normal now too

somber smelt
#

The 'jittery' pixel art when you have it set to off goes away when you put it to medium

weak hawk
#

it used to have like 20 digits after the decimal

long crypt
somber smelt
#

Undocumented bug fix

weak hawk
#

nice

long crypt
#

ok Im updating now

#

Ill try to get to ante 7 again on this version

weak hawk
#

why was high smoothing killing the stickers though?

long crypt
#

0.9.0p right?

somber smelt
#

As of 0.9.0p (assuming this one is fixed) I don't think there are any more reproducible huge bugs, but please take that as a challenge

somber smelt
#

Theyre reeeaaally big textures

weak hawk
#

inch resting

normal sun
#

@long crypt check your collection

#

i want to know if vessel is there

long crypt
#

nope

#

cause I lost

normal sun
#

rip

#

i thought you only had to fight them?

weak hawk
#

nah you gotta beat 'em

long crypt
#

no you have to win

somber smelt
#

No participation trophies in Balatro

#

Actually there's a joker idea

normal sun
#

every joker is discovered upon buying them win or lose lol

#

also anything that isn't a boss blind

somber smelt
#

Okay lots of participation trophies in Balatro

long crypt
#

true, but not if you dont buy them

normal sun
#

you can buy them and savescum to get your money back while still discovering them

long crypt
#

true

long crypt
#

also Im trying to get to ante 7 and its failing so maybe new update makes it impossible

normal sun
#

i did with the astronomer because it was the last one and i genuinely believed i'd never unironically buy it

somber smelt
#

The venn diagram of people that do savescumming and people that are working on their collection seems like it doesn't overlap much

jaunty star
long crypt
#

You patched the bug also for the mouth

#

time to spend another day of my life exploiting the game

#

to get to ante 7 once

#

I could have maybe gotten to ante 8 👀

#

and may be able to still

somber smelt
long crypt
#

maybe not

long crypt
# somber smelt in 0.9.0p?

I did it once with The Hook but it didnt work as good so I looked past it but maybe that was just the auto clicker messing up

fast ironBOT
#
shadow_bulb1 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

long crypt
#

what did I say?

#

dumb?

#

what...

#

MEE6 has an out for me lol

#

does it tell the mods what I said that was bad

long crypt
#

Is there any way I can get the pre non-psychic bug patched version

analog lava
#

not unless you did this

long crypt
#

D:

#

I wanna try and get to ante 8

lime mauve
#

how do I update to 0.9.0p?

#

my steam doesn't show an update

long crypt
#

if you go in it should auto update

lime mauve
#

it has not

long crypt
#

then idk

lime mauve
#

i just had to close marvel snap

#

we chillin

long crypt
#

I want to try and get ante 8

normal sun
#

did you update the game

long crypt
#

I exited out and it auto updates

normal sun
#

yeah that's what i warned you about lol

#

rip

long crypt
#

rip

#

I didnt think about ante 8 until afterwards

nimble basin
#

the expirimental chnage to debuffed cards are intresting

somber smelt
#

The visual one?

#

Or for blackboard

long crypt
#

guess its a no

nimble basin
#

the visual one i think the blackboard chaange is great

#

i is now easier to identify the cards but but also i might be easier to play the card without realizing like in psychic but maybe not

jaunty star
#

I feel like a middle ground could be best

nimble basin
#

yeah

#

reroll glitch has been fixed as well which is good

normal sun
#

not sure if intentional, but saving and quitting in a shop while holding undiscovered jokers creates a little ? overlay on top of them

#

not sure if intended

#

but i could see it being so

nimble basin
#

hmm

normal sun
#

ah yes i am

#

decided to put in the version number

somber smelt
#

It's a bug

long crypt
#

I tried every single version, hook bug was the psychic bug

somber smelt
#

but just wanted some context to recreate

long crypt
#

so I cant get ante 8 D:

#

unless I can get back to psychic bug version

waxen nest
#

I don't think playing full game content on the demo is exactly intended, even tho it's really funny and Majora's Mask level of jank

somber smelt
#

Please mind the server rules - namely #7

long crypt
#

yeah

#

only way I see without breaking rule #7 is you giving me a private version

somber smelt
#

The bug was patched - I think we can move on. This experimental version is designed for a small group of users to test a buggier build for me to fix any issues

long crypt
#

yes maam/sir

normal sun
#

yes thunk

nimble basin
#

Mr.Local

#

it would be funny if i named myslef globalthunk with the fool reversed as my pfp

long crypt
#

lol

nimble basin
#

or globalthougt

lime mauve
#

a negative fool, if you will

nimble basin
long crypt
#

lol

nimble basin
#

this is as far as i go

somber smelt
#

@long crypt was that bug report 0.9.0p?

long crypt
#

is what they said

somber smelt
#

The one you posted

long crypt
#

the one with ws_

somber smelt
#

Yes - I'd like to keep discussion around the issues and bugs in the current builds

long crypt
#

ok

knotty bobcat
#

You telling me the 22 times I used wheel of fortune and it was bugged the whole time -.-

jaunty star
#

wasn't really bugged, just inconsistent with seeded runs

#

from what I can tell

knotty bobcat
#

I’ve never gotten it to work

#

Ever

#

Like
Ever

jade panther
#

i ve gotten it to work like 4 times and ive only used it 20 times, maybe bad luck ig

jaunty star
#

:(

somber urchin
#

this beta branch rocks

agile flame
#

agreed

#

im a big fan of the new quality of life changes

atomic heron
#

got this error after trying to paste a seed

grave jolt
#

Debuffed cards arent greyed out properly? Was selecting a joker at the time the round started

lime mauve
#

that's intentional

grave jolt
#

ah

somber smelt
#

That was changed in a patch yesterday

lime mauve
#

greying out made it hard to tell the suit

somber smelt
#

So the deck preview is easier to distinguish

grave jolt
#

Gotcha, I didnt see that in the notes

jaunty star
#

I didn't see it either

#

white card jumpscare

ionic axle
#

To be completely honest I much preferred it with the greyed out as these cards don’t feel as debuffed as they used to

grave jolt
#

It does look a little less downtrodden but reading the suits Was pretty hard with em all grey

#

also still cant find it in the patchnotes from yesterday or thread op lol đŸ’„

jaunty star
#

I mentioned a while ago, but I feel like a middle ground grey works

somber smelt
#

There were no patchnotes for the patch yesterday

#

This is a form vs function issue I think

#

They are more functional now but don't feel as good

grave jolt
#

maybe if they were desaturated but not greyscale?

jaunty star
#

@somber smelt being able to see how much temperance is is so lovely, I feel like making all that work was a huge coding endeavor

long crypt
#

ikr!

jaunty star
#

Why doesn't flush house have the checkered background?

rare sluice
#

So I just did a run where I played a flush house in the 1st round of the 2nd ante, and despite buying plenty of planet packs, I never saw a ceres (the flush house planet). Is there a way to check to see if it was a bug or if I just saw a statistical anomaly? I didn't save a screenshot of the seed, so it might not be possible

long crypt
#

nope

#

not as far as I know

dusty willow
#

i think abandoned deck should be unlocked very late for the main game. having 12 less cards in your deck and being able to ignore all face debuffs is very strong

long crypt
#

money also strong though

lime mauve
#

i mean abandoned deck probably won't be third

#

third and fourth will probably be green and blue

eager sleet
#

I just realized

#

the view deck thing already puts even more cheese on how piss easy the wheel can be

long crypt
#

?

#

oh true

eager sleet
#

ever heard of “process of elimination”

long crypt
#

I realized after

#

but also it hard counters blackboard

eager sleet
#

true

long crypt
#

but yeah that changes things

#

I just hail mary it and dont pay attention

eager sleet
#

oi @somber smelt

analog lava
#

it accounts for that

eager sleet
#

wait really

long crypt
#

Ill test

#

give me a bit

analog lava
#

ex. here

#

wait that’s not the right thing

jaunty star
#

it doesn't give you info you wouldn't have

somber smelt
long crypt
#

I just did a test

#

and it does account for that

#

but if you use sigil changing cards it will know what it is

jaunty star
nimble basin
#

new patch score

jaunty star
#

my bad for double ping local, forgot that replies do that 😭

woeful raft
#

bug: switching between remaining and full deck causes cards to "dance" - I think their rotations are temporarily reset for a frame or two (on a 144Hz monitor)

somber smelt
#

I'm a professional dev btw

woeful raft
#

re: deck preview, I tend to use it early on in runs (when it's more difficult to make a good hand), but later on (ante 3+?) I stop using it as my build is mostly locked in, and good hands can be consistenly made

#

I'm surprised I didn't use it that much later on - I felt like there was no need for it

analog lava
#

i felt the same way, later on you know what specific cards and hands you want

woeful raft
#

deck preview wasn't as min-maxy as I thought, except in earlier rounds

#

I agree that this is a neutral-to-positive change

#

other miscellaneous feedback:

  • card stats are awesome
  • stickers are cool
    • they don't show up during runs - intentional? is it worth adding this as an option?
    • "used this joker to win" may be a bit ambiguous. from what I can tell, it means "used to beat the final round", not "bought this in a winning run". however, that wording is very verbose 😱 - I think the current wording is nice and concise
woeful raft
# woeful raft I agree that this is a neutral-to-positive change

but, to be honest, I feel like the main benefit I got from this was being able to see a very quick preview of the deck (not necessarily cards remaining!). before this update, I used to go into "Run info" to check my deck very frequently to take a look at the suit / rank distribution, and having that be a hover away (in a very easy-to-read format!) was super useful

#

I feel like I played mostly the same as before, except with a bit more information

wicked wedge
#

Is the deck peek feature still in the experimental beta? Just got on for the first time in a couple weeks

wicked wedge
#

nvm, think I figured it out. experimental bit is over as I had the normal version in the main menu, not 0.9.0o

errant maple
#

only issues ive run into is not being able to select my deck with the regular controller navigation on steam deck. I have to use the analog sticks and move the cursor over to select different decks

errant maple
#

not on mine at least no. I can switch between the daily/continue tabs on top just fine but triggers dont do anything

#

so i post this and get white coat syndrome. dpad Navigation hasnt worked the past 3 or 4 sessions when trying to select my deck but just booted it back up now its fine. D pad works for deck selection.

#

dont mind me, must be pebcak

somber smelt
#

No I don't think it's pebcak, I think there might be some controller wonkiness with the deck preview

#

So even on reboot Right Trigger doesn't work?

errant maple
#

oh yea right trigger still does nothing for me.

#

right bumper does, dpad does. Nothing for trigger on deck select.

I think i should clarify though. On selecting between red/yellow/abandonded deck to start a run. not deck preview in the middle of a run. That works fine. Miscommunication on my part.

somber smelt
#

Yeah trigger isn't supposed to do anything for those menus, right now triggers are only used to look at deck mid run

errant maple
#

yea thats my bad on that one. should have clarified more. Regular dpad navigation was giving me issues for deck selection on starting a new run.

dusty willow
#

@somber smelt i thought you said you changed/were going to change to do list to always change the poker hand needed for payout right

somber smelt
dusty willow
#

doesn't look like it, i'll replay my seed and try and get a recording if i can

#

unrelated but golden seal flip animation looks a little bit goofy

#

not sure if its supposed to look like that

#

the continue from shop crash still exists, just not with packs this time

#

ok yep; i got a recording of it @somber smelt

dusty willow
#

also i think it would be great if this type of joker was more explicit in its wording/explained in the tutorial because it's quite counterintuitive that this would apply to four of a kind/five of a kind hands even though it does

long crypt
#

"+10 Mult if played hand has at least 3 of the same of a card"

dusty willow
#

even though it does say "contains" i believe a lot of people take it as "ONLY the three of a kind" hand (and this was my experience too)

#

i think it would be best explained in the tutorial instead of rewording all of them imo, crazy joker works on straight flushes

#

although tutorializing semi-edgecases probably isn't ideal

high minnow
#

It does exactly what it says on the label?

normal sun
#

it's easy to skim over. i don't remember if i did or not, but i could understand.

dusty willow
#

pretty sure it happened to aliensrock at some point

jaunty star
#

Did anyone find out if splash + superposition + four fingers gives you a tarot on 6 7 8 9 A

dusty willow
jaunty star
#

yeah for sure

#

"+10 mult if hand contains three cards of the same rank" works so much better

normal sun
#

oh splash. yes it works

jaunty star
frail socket
barren briar
#

Honestly, when I first read it, i also thought it meant it would only activate on 3oak

#

A good change would be to underline the word "contains" to make it more explicit

#

So people notice it instead of skimming over

sharp compass
#

i call that a shrödinger's win

#

did i win?
the game: YESN'T

nimble basin
#

thunk i think you have nailed the debuffed card look

nimble basin
#

but i think straight need a buff or more jokers (might be different but using straights is asking to lose a streak in the demo

dusty willow
#

straights got buffed in the newest patch

#

they're pretty good now

nimble basin
#

what was the buff?

dusty willow
#

buff to the planet and the base chips i think

nimble basin
#

hmm

dusty willow
#

maybe just buff to the planet, i think they nerfed base flush chips

normal sun
#

flush chips were reduced by 5 but had mult increased to 4

#

and straights also had base mult increased to 4

#

so now it's possible to one-shot first blind with some full houses, straights, and flushes, so long as you have high enough cards for the remaining chips

dusty willow
normal sun
#

that's no moon...

dusty willow
#

the moon tarot is in the shop

#

would this hand count for the "the hand must contain a flush" joker

normal sun
#

yes

nimble basin
#

one shots arent possible with abandoned straights but thats fine i think

normal sun
#

oh yeah

#

abandoned flush is difficult too

#

đŸ€”

nimble basin
#

if it had the same value of flush it could happen

normal sun
#

it being only 40 cards probably still makes it completely consistent tho

nimble basin
#

for flushes it can happen but its rare going for full houses are still easier in abandoned but the other decks are now more viable

#

a question for thunk

#

why the change to make randomly selected cards consistent it makes seeded runs less broken and doesnt really change regular runs

dusty willow
#

what is abandoned flush

#

abandoned deck

#

nevermind

#

i did make a list of what combinations work for full house on first blind

normal sun
#

uhhhhh abandoned flush is uhhh 5 cards with no suit? :)

dusty willow
#

full house
(2 cards, 3 cards)
3, 10
4, 9+
5, 9+
6, 8+
7, 8+
8, 7+
9, 6+
10, 5+

#

any 4 of a kind+ also wins

#

although you could just add to 35 instead of memorizing it

nimble basin
#

just in case other people who pop into the thread are confused 75x4 is the number to aim for so if you hand chips+card chips >= 75 then you one shot first blind with the higher base chip value full houses have alot of options and they are easier to draw into in abandoned

dusty willow
#

only straights starting with 8+ can one hand first blind

#

does dna work with psychic

long crypt
#

nope

dusty willow
#

sad
