In the Balatro suggestions discord, a contentious topic is what the default reaction should be. Proponents of ☝️ claim that it's historically significant and what established members of the community already use, while proponents of again claim that it's more meaningful to the game of Balatro and should be widely understood by people who have played the game to be positive. But what if there was something we missed? I introduce: jokers_deli . is a reaction in the Balatro Discord, the Discord server for the game Balatro, a game in which players play poker hands, collections of up to five cards, small pieces of paper used in game playing, to defeat increasing score requirements of Blinds, coming from the Joker "Loyalty Card", a Joker that gives XMult on a cycle. Perchance. jokers_deli would indicate that you want the person suggesting to keep suggesting, just as a loyalty card exists to keep a person buying from your establishment. We should then redefine ☝️ as "sending the suggestion to heaven"—i.e. saying the suggestion is so bad you want to kill it immediately.
