the game is an absolute blast, i honestly couldn't believe that you're a solo developer. the UI and aesthetic of the whole game is perfect, really excited for a full release!
I mean, according to christian doctrine the crucifixion was a huge pog farm due to it potentially saving the entire human race for reasons which I feel have never been adequately explained to me despite being a pastors kid this metaphor is cracking my agnostic ass up though
Wow I just listened to a podcast where LocalThunk talks about inspirations for the game and one was NL's Luck Be a Landlord streams lol, you have the gift of prophecy
the aesthetic of this game is insane. i love the music and all the different card designs on the jokers, and the wobbly floaty UI gives it such a dreamlike quality.
Pears hold up their end of the bargain. It's just that they hold up their end of the bargain only on one particular week in Autumn. All other 51 weeks they are not holding up their bargain.
What a chad dev. Saving the run like that. The fact that he coded the demo to be able to continue the run. That's awesome since ive played many demos where i cant continue my run after buying the game.
I was actually there live. The best was when he thought he lost and was suprised to see he lived. Also missed what allowed the broken run (the 1/25 lucky hit)
score on left = sum of the cards numeric values, score on right = multiplier which comes from the hand type (straight, flush, etc) as well as the effects from the joker cards on the top of the screen. every level has a small blind, big blind and a boss where the boss has some condition like you can only play 3 cards per hand. after every fight you get access to the store where you can buy more joker cards. thats about it
I feel like you could make this a add on pack to real poker in real life. Bonus pack, they would have to add like a calculator that's already rigged up to the cards like the one used in Monopoly with Credit cards.
My favorite part of the run was when he was trying to cycle through jokers to activate Joker Stencil, and he read a joker that said "+4x mutli per every 5 cards played" (which probably means that it only activates when you play 5 cards in a round, 'cuz otherwise that'd be *WAY* too broken) and he said "that's not even that good" and proceeded to buy a joker that added like 10 multi, instead.
@@TheLibraryofLetourneau Makes me wonder how Dan found this game. I'm always curious to see things like this get picked up by bigger streamers. It always makes me feel good for someone like a solo dev when someone like NL showcases their game and actually likes it
he was actually pretty pogged on the SAP weekly, its pretty easy to figure out since most people are going for draws to sloth hunt. its either early lioness spam or tempo on parrot tiger croc
I love trying to watch the dopamine numbers add up on the left and having to squint through the barrage of twitch cancer spamming the same stuff over and over like its the funniest joke they've made in their lives

Hey nice work dev
IT'S THE LEGENDARY ONE DEV GUY!!!
It's so cool to see this happen. I'm rooting for you!
Brother I got the demo after watching this and im tempted to make a new steam account just to play this damn game some more
Crazy to look back on this, it's like looking at pictures of your infant child now that they're 36 and make more money than you
Watching it is like moving in mollasses
Even later along, this really feels like a historic movement in the Enelle Canon
Crazy to see the actual moment he learned of Balatro and now I'm 50 hours into it, pegged out of my gourd dipped in mama liz's chilli oil.
Can't imagine being the dev on this game and seeing a bald man annihilate it with ease
free beta testing, he now knows what to nerf
Who else, but a bald man
Damn it hit really hard when I noticed he's bald.
He's bald by choice, like Krillin from Dragon Ball 🐉
Can’t imagine being the dev on this game and seeing a bald man.
Dan introducing Baldie to this game is like Judas selling out jesus but instead of being nailed to the cross he’s staring into a potential pog farm
I mean, according to christian doctrine the crucifixion was a huge pog farm due to it potentially saving the entire human race for reasons which I feel have never been adequately explained to me despite being a pastors kid
this metaphor is cracking my agnostic ass up though
@@Phoenix0F8 Been reading the book of Judas I see.
+2 binding of Isaac reference pog
@@Phoenix0F8 +2 on that metaphor
“You’ll always be Judas in my house”
I would've liked to see more of this game, I'm pretty sad NL never played it again.
so sad......
it's so wild watching this now and seeing how different balatro was in EA
Absolutely can’t wait to see this on the main channel. Haven’t seen pure dopamine like this since the Luck Be a Landlord days.
There is a vod channel called letorneau vods that sometimes has early access content

Librarian going crazy with the clips this morning
i love the TOMP cameo. he just sits down perfectly framed. what a good lad.
Peloton is pretty good but the Baleton card game inside Peloton is even better.
NL: "Pears aren't holding up their end of the bargain"
Balatro Pairs: "Think again baldie"
Pears hold up their end of the bargain. It's just that they hold up their end of the bargain only on one particular week in Autumn. All other 51 weeks they are not holding up their bargain.
@@michaelcordeiro12 thats damn true

Dan introduced Balatro to NL? THE LORE
I've never seen him get as many +2s as the cyberpunk bar microbit
It was over the moment he said "robot waifu bartender".
The scriv was a golden choice of words
damn they already have a Northernlion collab card too! the zany joker card looks so good!
Before even opening this, I thought he must have gotten supernova and bus pass. That’s the only way to completely break the game like this
He's literally bussin'
Lol
Dan made balatro happen confirmed
Watching this early beta feels like watching old minecraft speedruns where they had to farm for ender pearls normally
What a chad dev. Saving the run like that.

Lmao, I laughed so hard when he missed both the 1 in 20 and 1 in 25 chance. What a cool game!
Well that roguelike poker game really popped off didn’t it
Cross Blitz: can't beat mini boss for like 40 minutes or something
Balatro: Absolutely dominates and surpasses demo limit
Beats the whole game on the first session
he would never play this for more than one stream...
This fills me with an odd sense of melancholy now that he’s beat all the decks on gold stake
Momma I made the librarian thumbnail
Shout out to Devin chat for helping NL finish this run
I should lean my lesson and figure out what’s going on early so I’m not completely lost when he plays this for a straight week
score on left = sum of the cards numeric values, score on right = multiplier which comes from the hand type (straight, flush, etc) as well as the effects from the joker cards on the top of the screen. every level has a small blind, big blind and a boss where the boss has some condition like you can only play 3 cards per hand. after every fight you get access to the store where you can buy more joker cards. thats about it
“a straight week” is so funny in retrospect😭😭😭
I feel like you could make this a add on pack to real poker in real life. Bonus pack, they would have to add like a calculator that's already rigged up to the cards like the one used in Monopoly with Credit cards.
Finally, Poker 2 released

Balatro ... potential bit right there, lookin forward to it
I've been loving all his Balatro videos so I had to go back and check the beginning. I love how interested he was right from the bat when introduced
this video got me to play the whole demo too lmao. game is hella fun
its insane that its just a solo dev, absolutely mindblown by the quality of the game
@@TheLibraryofLetourneau Makes me wonder how Dan found this game. I'm always curious to see things like this get picked up by bigger streamers. It always makes me feel good for someone like a solo dev when someone like NL showcases their game and actually likes it
They need to add Eggy Joker; gain one multiplier for each time you mispronounce the game's name
It's the Joker Mult Verse
The vid has everything. Pogging off, banter, rougelike domination, and Tomo.
So this is how it started.. what a legend
A year ago I woke up, put my feet upon the ground...
The beginning of a legend
Balatro very well may have been popular regardless, but this one moment of Dan recommending it to NL really skyrocketed it
this is the variety content we get treated to when SAP has a bad weekly, praise be
he was actually pretty pogged on the SAP weekly, its pretty easy to figure out since most people are going for draws to sloth hunt. its either early lioness spam or tempo on parrot tiger croc
@@TheLibraryofLetourneau fair enough, im projecting bc all ive seen is the crocs
@@TheLibraryofLetourneau insane to me that the strats for an emoji auto battler go this hard

This looks so good I might even watch it on NL's channel.

Legendary thumbnail. Wp Librarian
This game might have legs! I guess We'll see
Definitely gives that landlord slot game, but you have more control and feel smarter
I love trying to watch the dopamine numbers add up on the left and having to squint through the barrage of twitch cancer spamming the same stuff over and over like its the funniest joke they've made in their lives
Now this is a game. Can't wait to see the vid in it's entirety

There is a kfc map…🙄
The cuts in this video make it entriely unwatchable. Its impossible to follow the flow of the game, when you cut out 90% of the actual game.
What game are they playing in the beginning?
