"Balatro fans are collectively distraught after its solo developer said the massively popular card game wouldn't include lesbian 'yuri' any time soon. The poker-themed roguelike game's anonymous developer, known online as LocalThunk, tragically said "Nope!" to requests that the latest content update acknowledge the lesbian ship between two of the game's Joker cards. In Balatro, Jokers are special cards that change the game's mechanics in a variety of different ways."
"One of the most popular synergies is between the rare cards Brainstorm, which copies the effect of the leftmost Joker card, and Blueprint, which copies the effect of the Joker to its immediate right. Putting these two cards together copies a card's effect several times over, which can be incredibly useful. Because of this, fans began jokingly shipping the two cards as a lesbian couple in a variety of memes, drawings, and other fan creations."
"Addressing the meme, LocalThunk posted to X, formerly Twitter, with the tragic news that he would not be acknowledging the lesbian card girls in the upcoming 1.1 update. "It's come to my attention that people [have] created a ship consisting of the Jokers Blueprint and Brainstorm from my game," they said. "I believe it's my duty to tell you all that there will be no Bluestorm yuri in the 1.1 update. I'm sorry everyone, but for me to implement sesbian lex it will take eight more years.""
Balatro is a poker-themed roguelike where Jokers are special cards that modify game mechanics and can synergize. Rare cards Brainstorm (copies the effect of the leftmost Joker) and Blueprint (copies the effect of the Joker to its immediate right) create powerful stacked effects when combined. Fans created memes and art shipping Brainstorm and Blueprint as a lesbian couple called "Bluestorm." The game's anonymous solo developer, LocalThunk, posted on X denying plans to include Bluestorm yuri in the 1.1 update and jokingly said implementing such content would take eight more years. Fans reacted with disappointment and jokes about waiting or creating content themselves.
