Hi-fiber Granola:
If a consumable/food joker would trigger a use, expend this instead (remaining 12)
(And in works for: seltzer, bean, ramen, banana going extinct, icecream, popcorn etc)

Life Savings:
Gain $3 dollars at end of round for every passive joker (including this joker),

(Works automatically on passive jokers like bean, four-fingers, juggler, smeared, but also, scoring jokers that did not meet trigger conditions this round; Loyalty Card, Greedy, etc, does not work if the joker triggered Foil/Chrome/Poly)

"food jokers" are a fanmade term

#

and so are "passive jokers"

#

Yeah but whatever., if needs be you could literally make a list one-by-one of joker interactions. It would be completely no problem to code.

It would not matter in the slightest.

#

(And it’s embarrassing that anyone would think it would be, unless they were going out of their way to criticise a frivolous joker idea)

There's 150 Jokers in this game

#

You'd have to display the information about if a Joker is food or passive

#

(is Chicot passive? It displays messages when it disables the blind)

#

(is Diet Cola passive? it doesn't trigger at all while held)

#

It's prescriptive game design

I’m drunk. I can’t point out how pointless this point is without being rude. I’m just gonna log out 🤓

joker specific jokers are lame

#

Cool. I’ll just stop interacting. 👌

I feel like passive is an easy fix; reword it to give $3 per joker owned that doesn’t give chips, mult, or xmult and it’s okay

"Gain $3 dollars at end of round for every Joker owned that does not directly increase your Chips, Mult, or money"

#

Oh yeah I forgot money

#

But yeah I think it’s workable

obtuse geyser Sep 17, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

Yeah

drowsy hound Sep 17, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

The only actual flaw imo is a lack of base value

#

Held back by the same flaw that makes satellite weak early game

#

I was rebutting the idea of classifying every joker one by one under tags as "food" or "passive"

#

as was suggested

Yeah that’s fair but I think we should look at ideas for what they’re worth and see if there’s a way to get that idea to work in vanilla context

#

Like keeping the spirit alive if that makes sense

obtuse geyser Sep 17, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

Makes sense

#

That said, Jokers referencing whether a Joker has the capability to give a certain type of scoring (or scoring at all) isn't defined well in the code

#

I don't know how I feel about going through and giving every Joker a "category", so to speak
