Hi everyone, We have some exciting news to share! Introducing our very first "Friend of Jimbo" collaboration! You can now personalise your decks with brand-new cosmetic card skins featuring fan-favourite characters from The Witcher 3, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, and Among Us. This update is completely FREE and available now on Steam and consoles. Add some visual flair to your game by swapping out the traditional face cards—Kings, Queens, and Jacks—with beloved characters like Geralt, Yennefer, and Jaskier from The Witcher! This "Friends of Jimbo" surprise is the second of three major announcements about Balatro this summer. The first was the promise of a major content update in 2025, revealed earlier this month. Now, the real question is...what’s our final surprise?  Trailer: [YouTube - Official](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qChMssQkk3M) — [Nintendo](https://youtu.be/8188WZxHSkU)

Has anyone found since installing Balatro it is using battery even when you're not running it? I noticed recently my battery has been running down a bit more than usual. I then noticed since my last charge it says Balatro has been using my battery even though I haven't played and it's not running as an app that I can close in the background.
So, I won my first run after starting this madness a few days ago. Violet Vessel thought it could raise to 300k, so I decided to kinda ‚nope-out‘ and bought a suddenly appearing Mr. Bones in my last store before Vessel. I got to 25% with just playing pairs.
Mine is Abandoned Deck because I like playing with numbered cards and feel like face cards get hosed too often

I had a Pair run and pivoted to include Two-Pair synergy too. Throughout the run, I upgraded Pair a lot (Lvl 10 or so) and Two-Pair barely. If I play a Two-Pair, does the multiplier only trigger as if I played a Two-Pair or does it also trigger the Pair multiplier? Trying to figure out it if makes sense to invest in the pants joker or if I run the risk of losing because I don't rack up enough points. Thanks! Edit: Ended up not going for Two-Pairs, unless I had to because of boss blinds, and got to 11/8. Pretty good :)
For real, it's all because I got that crazy fuckin banana joker. I'd have been cooked without it.
