  No expectations, no adapting to the market, just a guy making something that seemed cool. This is why we love indie titles, the passion behind just making something has resulted in some of the greatest games of all time

  Localthunk being only dimly aware of deck building games, yet releasing a deck builder thats going to cast a shadow over the genre for years to come is incredibly funny

  Funny story the dev posted recently on twitter. At first he had not so many jokers. But the publisher in a called said the wrong number of jokers.. and instead of correcting them, he started drawing and working to reach the number the publisher said in that call.

  LocalThunk even made a claim in his will, that even after his death, Balatro IP will NEVER be used in a gambling/casino.<br>He&apos;s just all around good dude. So nice to see Balatro and him succeed in this day and age.

  Balatro has an 18+ rating, then EA FC, Madden, NBA 2K should all have a 21+ rating. Its essentially hardcore gambling.

  Important thing I think is worth mentioning here. The dev recently posted on Twitter that when he had his will made he had a thing in it that specifically stated in legalese that Balatro would never ever ever be used for gambling related stuff no matter what happens. Like nothing being associated with casinos or slot machines etc.

  balatro is like a little pocket dimension for me to chill in. i have it on my phone so if i&apos;m dealing with a flare of awful medical issues i can just curl up in bed and play a few runs while i wait for meds to work or things to calm down enough for me to get back to life. its not infuriating for me when i lose a run. i just go &apos;oh okay i should do this or that&apos; and move on. the music is right up my alley too for when i need to rest. its just so good.

  The fact that Glen seamelessy integrated footage from The Game Awards that happened LAST NIGHT shows you how serious he takes his craft. &nbsp;I&apos;m hitting the like button on this video SO HARD....
