Comment on Balatro: Friends of Jimbo – Reveal Trailer

The attention to detail is amazing.

I think the Castle joker (seen in the trailer) resembles Schloss Neuschwanstein ( …wikipedia.org/…/File:Adolf_Hitler_-_Schloss_Neus… ). Painted by Hitler, the whole discarding cards to gain more power takes a bit of a sinister turn.

There are loads of other awesome art details

I have to disagree. I don’t think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler’s painting of Neuschwanstein.

Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.

What has Hitler got to do with this? Huh? What the hell. And how would that metaphor even work … Discarding what to gain more power?

You are reaching a hell of a lot here

  Unless there is something else about the word castle, or that artwork that is relevant? Considering how on point so much else of the artwork and names are
