I have discards despite the Burglar

[inner pewter]

Burglar takes my discards away when i pick the Bossblind
Chicot kills the Water bossblind (start with 0 discards) and discards return to me

[rigid forge]

well seems intended

jokers with at the start of the blind effect proc before boss blind, so it looked something like this

1. Burglar procs
2. Water procs
3. Chicot disables Water, returning your discards

pretty cool and rare interaction tho

[inner pewter]

Yeah definitely so

[uncut rapids]

Does it? Then I'd also argue that e.g. Drunkard should give discards when Burglar is equipped

[hushed oracle]

no cause drunkard happens instantly

by that I mean on get you get the discard, not at the start of the round

[rigid forge]

Drunkard is not at the start of the blind effect

its permanent

i mean, it doesnt apply at some point

[uncut rapids]

when you add it to your joker slots and remove it from your joker slots but I get what you mean

Thought about it for a bit. You're right, it does indeed make sense for Drunkard/Burglar to behave this way within the rules specified (as arbitrary as they are to be fair)

I also think I figured out why this interaction still bothered me

The Water doesn't actually do anything, it sets the discards from 0 back to 0

the "inverse" of that, which is what chicot does, should be reverting that and setting it to... 0?

[hushed oracle]

You know what might be happening, water might make it go to -3, then the game just says nuh uh, but chicot still thinks it went to -3 so gives you +3? idk

[uncut rapids]

oh, interesting

[hushed oracle]

thats my hypothesis anyways

also my wording sucks so bad LOL

[uncut rapids]

by that I mean on get you get the discard
could've definitely used some punctuation marks too lmao

[hushed oracle]

yeahhhhhh but I mean nobody rlly cares

(this is why Im a math person)

[uncut rapids]

hmm, as far as I can tell that shouldn't happen, but I've said the same thing before about glass joker and immolate, so idk

[hushed oracle]

I think its funny

but agree it shouldnt happen

also glass and immolate shouldnt happen, I still dont know why that exists

[uncut rapids]

glass and immolate is a weird bug tbh, I also couldn't figure out why it doesn't work, only what doesn't

[solemn lark]

Technically the chicot shenanigans arent “intended” but this time there isnt really a way around it

[plucky quiver]

i feel like this shouldn't happen and idk why it does

because burglar first reduces the discards to 0

then the water looks at discards

it saves the discards it reduces

which is 0

[plucky quiver]

then when the disable function is called from chicot it shouldn't add 3 discards

[rigid forge]

balatro coding shenanigans

[uncut rapids]

yeah exactly my thoughts too 🤷

[warm oracle]

Wouldn't it go water reducing into burglar doing nothing to discard into chicot putting back the discards maybe?

From burglar needle interaction jokers do activate after bosses

That order makes most sense to me at least

[solemn lark]

True but chicot’s “disabling” of the Water is just giving you discards

Which, in concept, is the same as disabling

Chicot is such a funny legendary

[uncut rapids]

chicot is such a plate of spaghetti

[plucky quiver]

burglar goes first

[plucky quiver]

truee

[uncut rapids]

doesn't Needle go before Burglar? 🤔

[plucky quiver]

huh

that's a good point...

but then why is not consistent

like

riff raff going into crimson heart

doesn't debuff riffraff

yeah that explains it then

;~;

it's going after the water

yeye i get it

i understand

the event shenanigans

[hushed oracle]

the logic is not logicing

[uncut rapids]

it's

1. Water
2. Burglar
3. Chicot
   right?

[solemn lark]

Burglar, water, chicot

Wait nar

You right

[hushed oracle]

wawa burg chicken

literally a lunch order 💀

[solemn lark]

Chicot is chicken confirmed

[hushed oracle]

Real

[plucky quiver]

water burger chicken

yes
