I'm having real trouble playing Balatro because I keep imagining the default Joker like this.

- So uh Balatro is now canonically in Black Mirrorthe fuck do you mean balatro is in black mirror. thats hilarious
- Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA sports FC
- Almost exactly 3 years ago I started making a weirdo card game on my laptop because I had a few weeks of vacation to burn and thought it'd be a fun little project for me and my friends No idea how to describe just how absurd this all feels

- To this day I think the most productive night of my life was the evening I created the flame effect in Balatro. By 4 AM I had this
00:00 - Pointless Balatro lore: When I started Balatro dev I was living in my hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan. I had a bus stop outside my apartment (similar to the one in this image) and I based the art of 'Ride the Bus' on that bus stop!
- Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands I thought some good might come of this, this sucks
- After an appeal from my publisher, Balatro has been reclassified by PEGI from 18+ to 12+ This is a good step from PEGI - bringing nuance to their ratings criteria that used to be 18+ or nothing. I hope this change will allow developers to create without being unfairly punished
- Does this mean we can make Balatro: GOTY edition?PC Gamer's Game of the Year 2024: Balatro. trib.al/AMMRMps
- Just to clear it up - I’m way more irked at the 3+ for these games with actual gambling mechanics for children than I am about Balatro having an 18+ rating If these other games were rated properly I’d happily accept the weirdo 18+. The red logo looks kinda dopeSince PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA sports FC
- Balatro launched one year ago today I often say I made this game for myself and friends, but seeing so many people connect with Balatro has filled this past year with joy. Thank you players, your love and support have kept Balatro thriving! I appreciate you all naneinf! 🍌
- Looks like a few of you jokers got Balatro for Christmas! I’ll answer what surely is your first question about the game: Yes, Wheel of Fortune really is 1 in 4
