While I'm posting here and no longer under any obligation to rep the company, I might as well share this incredibly funny story from behind the scenes that I don't think ever got out: Due to the constant problems we had around "The Chaser" being also a name of a sex thing online (you would not BELIEVE the kind of confused fan mail I had to sort through), in 2019 we had very seriously planned to rebrand our online channels.

After a laborious process whittling down hundreds of potential names we settled on another alcohol related term, a popular Australian slang term for wine, as we thought that was in the spirit of "The Chaser" but also uniquely Australian.

Literally the only reason we didn't end up rebranding was the whole company fell into an omnishambles in 2020, and we were all too busy both figuratively and literally putting out fires to even think about doing a full company rebrand.

And that, my friends, is how The Chaser through sheer dumb luck, managed to avoid what would have gone down as possibly one of the worst company rebrands in the history of everything, when that same name came to mean something else VERY different a few years later:

100%. Balatro had all the aesthetic hallmarks of a hack Inscryption or FNAF creepypasta ripoff where it would turn out Jimbo was Actually a real serial killer from like 80s Nevada and every joker is based on a victim or every shop you're selling parts of your soul or something (I was sure it was going to go in this direction when they capitalised "handsome Devil" like wooOOOoOOoo it was actually The Devil all along!!) and I've never been so relieved that it just didn't do that. It just was what it was, and there didn't need to be any ill-advised ARG or whatever.

feel like i dont need other roguelikes after playing balatro. like its just all the luck mitigation metagame & satisfying power variance of a good roguelike but without any of the skill based gameplay. like damn i guess thats the part i liked about binding of isaac anyways

the thing is that whenever someone says "pluto IS a planet" you don't know if they're actually a space fan who is prepared to love and cherish all the other bodies that would become planets if pluto was promoted again or the dumbest motherfucker on earth who thinks science should have stopped when they left 3rd grade

i dreamed i was watching a game of football (i can't actually remember if it was american or european football) and it was completely normal except that every so often a pink textbox with white text would show up at the bottom of the screen, much like any other sports network popup, except it was offering a paragraph or two of fantastical explanations for what was happening in the game
