Balatro: You can click on hold Jimbo's Big Naturals in place.

Thanks for sharing my mod! :) I just released 2.0, which does horrible things like put boobs on Cavendish for no reason.



If you want to see all the cards, it's at the bottom of the readme on Github.

You're really making sure that Balatro earns that PEGI 18+ rating.

Edit: Just a thought, Cavendish should have some comically massive honkers.



I deliberately made them a little less impressive than Gros Michel's, since Cavendish is the ol' faithful banana that isn't nearly as good as the tragic Gros Michel (supposedly, never had one). Which is not to cast aspersions upon smaller chests, but this is a 'big naturals' mod, after all.

this is incredible work holy moly
Thank you! It was fun doing a silly little project and getting to flex my pixel artist skills. I'm really humbled by the positive reaction it's gotten on social media.

Also it was very funny to find out that modding Balatro can be as simple as "open the exe with 7zip and drop some files in". All the lua files and png files are in there just raw rear end. (My mod only replaces pngs, but I can see how lua edits would be very simple.)

it even changes Satellite

121 out of 150 jokers are affected, as well as any Seals/Booster Packs/etc that have Joker imagery! :buddy:

Spoiler for, obviously, every joker in the game. Anything without a green strikethru has a pair hidden in there somewhere!

Thank you for making my unreasonable suggestion for Banner a reality!

Also, Shortcut has a minor edit so it doesn't deserve the green slash.

Also also thank you for making me realize that Blueprint is one of the only Jokers looking to the right (because it's copying that Joker)

Oh my god, I totally forgot I put a pair in Shortcut. I went and added that to the patch notes and fixed the number on the Github page, thank you! Whoops.

A pair of jugs so subtle that even I overlooked it... (It's in the clouds in the top right, for anyone looking.)


Ariong posted:

Yes, the subtle ones are my favorites. Walkie-Talkie, To the Moon, Reserved Parking, Oops all Sixes, Eight Ball, Loyalty Card, Hanging Chad.

My suggestion: For Gift Card, make the loops on the bow slightly larger.

Check out the numbers on Credit Card. :v:

I thought about that for Gift Box but wasn't sure if it'd read correctly... I'll try it anyhow! Thank you!

I gotta say I feel very demoralized having like two runs in a row end on the boss blind of Ante 8. I know this is why you pick the reroll voucher but it never came up for me. I keep getting that stupid one that forces you to always pick a card when I have something like straights or flushes, on a higher difficulty so I have very few discards and hands to maneuver around it. :negative:

I know the answer is 'get good' but gently caress

Ariong posted:

I can tell you the solution to this, although of course it's easier said than done. What you want to do is get your economy set up so you can buy every arcana and standard pack that comes up and sculpt your deck to make it overwhelmingly likely that you will get the hand you're looking for.

I tried to focus on this and had luck with a nice Flush deck, thank you :)

Also got a duplicated Runner + Blueprint while in a Plasma deck run on a higher stake. I ended up with a setup where I could basically do anything I wanted because the game would drop a zillion chips onto it and say "I win". Obviously wouldn't last long in Endless Mode but it was deeply satisfying.

Burglar is the best econ joker because it's also an extremely effective "win the round joker"

I didn't properly respect Burglar until I went into The Needle and I learned that when it says gives you 3 hands it loving means it. Only play one hand? Not with my friend the Burglar around, buddy!!

A little belated to the "is it optimal to skip ever" discussion, but:

Sometimes I'll skip a blind or two during The Pillar (all cards played during this ante previously are debuffed) because gently caress that thing

I finally got past Ante 11, yay!!!! :kimchi: I had two Barons, a Mime, DNA, Castle, and a Blueprint. Had some silly mistakes and should've worked on getting Steel Cards into my deck sooner, but was nonetheless really pleased with getting to Ante 13.

Double posting to say if anyone is hesitant on phone Balatro, go for it. I'm really shocked how well it runs, my phone is a little older and buggy by now but it's very smooth. I do find the dragging to sell/use a little awkward and I really which they'd just put in a double tap/long tap option, but aside from that it's really impressive.

I finally fulfilled all the conditions for unlocking jokers! Now I just need to find them and use them in runs! :kimchi:

Some of them feel pretty out of the way and hard to get on accident, like discarding five Jacks or playing four sevens of clubs.

I also have to get that voucher for thinning my deck to five cards... What's the best way to do something like that? Lots and lots of spectral cards?

You can get the 4x 7 of clubs by turning 7s into wilds too :science:

DNA is also pretty rad. Especially if you manage to copy DNA via something like Blueprint or a Spectral card.

TACD posted:

Is there a general rule of thumb for what cards to make gold / steel / blue sealed? I vacillate between “cards I won’t ever want to play in my main score generator” on the basis they need to be held in hand, and “cards I might/ will play in my main score generator” on the basis that I can then still use them in an emergency.

I alternate between the same schools of logic. One thing I do really like to do is slap steel/gold on blue seals (and vice versa) so they do double duty.

I also like to pick low cards to bias myself towards higher cards for more chips + avoid stuff like "all face cards are disabled" hitting those cards.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but what's everyone's thoughts on Erosion?

I kept seeing it when I already had an established deck with lots of additional cards and thinking "that seems neat, wish I could do something with it" so once it came my way at the start of the game with holographic on it, I took the plunge.

Ended up a fuckin' ball and chain around my ankle for most of that deck, would've ditched it had it not been eternal. It just feels like it gives you way too little for how much it takes to get set up, the game doesn't give you a ton of tools to prune your deck that heavily unless you luck upon Trading Card (which I did get, briefly, but I had to give it up for a legendary joker) or have a rube goldberg machine of purple seals.

It's a cool concept and I love playing with Trading Card, but it needs a little buff :(

Had some real bad luck in my play today, couldn't really get anywhere and choked once on the last boss thanks to Violet Vessel or whatever it's called with the very large blind. Did my best but could never pull up something with good Xmult to make it past that. :(

Made it to the end of Painted Deck with this. Granted, it was only Blue Stake, but it was really fun to actually get decent value from Flower Pot for once in its life.

Whoopie Cushion - while you hold this joker every single sound effect in the game is replaced with farts of appropriate length (for example, opening a card pack goes PRRRRRBBBBBBBTTTTT and using a planet card goes pbt pbt pbt)

Pride - X2 if hand includes a pair of face cards, so two kings, two queens, etc

Drag Show - X4 if hand has 4 or more queens

... I just made myself want these :negative:

Got it. That's a lot more to think about, I've probably missed out on so many chips from not ordering my hand and played cards.

I guess this all means that Xmults that happen in the joker phase are generally better than +mults in the joker phase... especially as you get later into the game, and you've got more and more multiplier points racking up from the playing cards, adding a little +15 at the end is not worth so much as doing a X3 on the whole thing. And on the flipside, Xmult joker effects that get triggered in the "played" phase are generally not as good as +mult effects in that phase, since you'll be multiplying a much smaller number. I hadn't considered any of this math before.

All of this is accurate, yeah! That said, steel cards are still extremely good especially when you have a bunch fire off at once and a high base mult from using a bunch of planet cards.

Big fan of Pride, maybe Drag Show should make all face cards count as queens, so you can play X of a kind easier?

Okay yeah that's really funny, making kings and jacks count as queens. Would be great for Shoot The Moon too.

The Wheel

Gains an additional 0.1x mult for each successful wheel of fortune effect applied

Honestly it would be really funny if there were a card that gained mult every time a positive effect failed to proc (so Lucky Card, WoF, Space Joker, etc). Call it Black Cat or something themed after bad luck.

Speaking of DNA, I just started a run where I skipped the first blind for a free rare joker, which was DNA, and then in the first shop I bought a Hologram. "Legendary run" I thought, before immediately losing to the following boss blind because of bad luck, but mostly due to being bad at cards, if I'm being honest.

I swear the hardest part of this game for me is getting through the first few rounds with a standard deck and no mults. I'm not good at poker...

Here's my secret tip. You know how Two Pairs are super easy to get? Full Houses aren't much harder, and they have a higher base point value than Straight or Flush while using all five cards. Just go with the highest Two Pair you drew and keep discarding and hope you got lucky.

Getting some good Full Houses is a great way to cruise through earlier hands without much to work with. :)
