I have to admit, when I saw last week that Balatro creator LocalThunk was struggling to 100% his own game, I felt a bit of schadenfreude. That final achievement he needed—Completionist++—is locked behind a truly brutal grind, and as someone who's always looked at what's required to earn it with horror, I felt some vindication in seeing its creator unable to reach their own near-impossible goal.
Alas, he's had the last laugh—LocalThunk announced over the weekend on X (formerly Twitter) that he has finally done it, reaching full 100% completion of Balatro.
