LocalThoughts

Lately I have been able to look back on a surreal chapter of my life with a bit more clarity and appreciate how remarkable this time has been. I have seen a lot of discourse around Balatro, both positive and negative, and as the creator I think most of it isn’t really meant for me. In turn, I don’t know if what I say about my game can really be that important because I think my art should speak for itself.

However, I love seeing other artists share their ethos and creation process. I learned a lot from reading about my favourite artists, musicians, game developers, and creatives. I am also very aware of my survivorship bias. The omission of this bias is something that always bothered me when I read about stories like mine, so I wanted to share more of the what happened and how instead of here’s how you should do it and why. At the very least this will serve as a reminder for how this all went down when the details are foggy in my memory in a few years.

That is all to say - I don’t really know anything but try and enjoy this blog anyway!
