@Cerulean Does this mean we're never gonna get a Balatro cartoon? :'(

Maybe it's time for me to write some fanfic, put it in a world where the game's got Yugi-Oh properties. "Yorick! Activate!"

Yeah, though, I really am enjoying the fact that instead of "plot" or "worldbuilding" (or a half-assed template-fantasy attempt at them), Balatro has ATMOSPHERE. I feel like there are vague hints at a malign ghost inside the machine; I'm pleased it seems disinterested in feeding us any details.

re: balatro 

@chimerror i think you mean the gold seal and I *think* that might actually be different! there's a mention in the achievements about getting gold stickers on *jokers* -- it might even be the same gold seal, maybe there's a way to start getting them on jokers instead of deck cards?

cripes this friggin game and its SYSTEMS, just paralyze every person on the spectrum for the next year why dontcha :D

re: balatro 

@chimerror yeah i was today years old when that finally dawned on me :)

re: balatro 

@chimerror I think my record so far is 100k but there's SO MUCH MORE STUFF HIDDEN so I figure some of it's bound to multiply yields

e.g. i figured out what the blank voucher does but i won't spoil it -- just keep at it, it will pay off eventually

@KinkyTurtle @anthracite Hey, if that's the ONLY thing this weird-ass comic achieves, it's a success. :D

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much everybody hates the clowns immediately on first sight. >:D

The latest post on Cracking the Cryptic's Patreon channel is a Sudoku puzzle pack designed by a puzzle constructor known as Riffclown.

When I see the name, I keep having to remind myself it's not a "No Pizza on Luna" update from @anthracite.

That horrifying moment when you look at the achievement list and reallze JUST HOW MUCH THERE IS TO UNLOCK. *scream*

(What the hell are gold stickers?!)

Also, just curious, how long did it take the rest of you to figure out you can still score a hand with a disabled card, it just doesn't contribute its value? Probably not nearly as long as it took me. :)

@spottyfox That would be very good indeed... but a Nancy movie scripted by Olivia James would have me waiting out in the parking out for tickets all Star Wars style...

@chimerror Oh, I know all about it, I played the demo! I'm just happy other people are playing it!

I am NOT good at it.

@LeDiva Wizard of Oz. Also most of Star Worlds, all of Lord of the Thrones, and all of Game of Rings.

@Orb2069 I think the bhakarwadi aren't supposed to be spicy, more like sweet and salty, but no guarantees on the others. :D

@Orb2069 This is *really* making me miss living in Davis Square, with 3-4 really good Indian groceries in walking distance... I have trouble finding snacks that hurt me enough. :>

@anthracite Yeah but I think I got a follow-up case of full-blown bronchitis, and you have MUCH better lungs than I do so you'll almost certainly beat that...

pinball, parasocial relationships 

holy fuck

behold the rotation viii

it's like the kobold to a standard cabinet's dragon

i am gonna marry this machine someday 🙀

@anthracite I think an act of ACTUAL SACRILEGE AND DEFACING THE IMAGE OF A GODDESS is worth a little hassling.😼

I regret nothing! Did it all for you, Urmah, just like I promised. Thank you for your patience and continued professional attention towards our privy.😽

re: Vacation part 2, day 1 

@Momentrabbit @trouffee Yeah, how the heck are we gonna afford that kind of thing on a corporate drone's salary? :D
