Before I go to bed for the day I'm just gonna leave this here because I definitely didn't just spend an hour playing when I should probably be resting. Someone just made an accessibility mod for Balatro and now I understand why this game blew up. If you haven't heard of it, you're basically making the best poker hands possible with a standard card deck trying to reach increasingly higher score targets. For reaching them you get money which you can use in the shop to buy various upgrades and special cards that let you get even higher scores, which gives you more money... And that's how the game loop works. All this is accompanied by some very chill background music and satisfying sound effects. Another win for #GameAccessibility for sure. You can find the mod here forum.audiogames.net/topic/541…

Speaking as someone who is both awful at and enthusiastic about poker, this sounds like fun!

@Scott So far, it's another case of a mainstream game making me feel kind of dim. I bought it, got the mod installed and working, it speaks through NVDA, I just... don't have a clue what most of the stuff it's saying means or how to play. @pitermach

@jscholes @Scott I'm struggling to get the mod working, have followed the instructions twice over and it is just like... maybe I'm too tired tonight heh.

@jscholes @Scott Okay so figured out how to play, now need to figure out which key it is to buy cards in the shop between rounds. I can see how this will become quickly addicting and fun. I can see why people are really enjoying this.

@blindbat84 @jscholes @Scott It’s right bumper on a controller or E on keyboard. It’s also how you use consumable items. Left bumper or Q to sell something

@blindbat84 @jscholes @Scott They’re listed in the documentation here, if you go by table a few times you should see it. And on that note the keyboard keys to buy and sell are V and Z by default, sorry I’m playing on controller. github.com/Aurelius7309/BlackH…

@jscholes @Scott I am too now because it is simpler, and more chill. I think I'm going to liket his game if I can understand it, heh.
