Just like Tetris, someone's found Balatro's "true ending" by chasing a score so high that it actually crashes the game

Balatro cards featuring The Witcher 3 characters.

Someone has finally 'beat' Balatro, wiping those jokers' smug smiles away, by achieving a score so high that it actually crashed the poker-themed roguelike.

Streamer Nandre broke the "high score limit" in the game a few days ago, but he's more recently one-upped himself while on stream. In the clip below, after passing ante 39, you can see Nandre reach a score so high that it forces the screen to glitch and white-noised cards to fly about the screen. I'm not good enough at Balatro to know what build he's rocking, but whatever it is, Nandre's hand of cards is too big to even be visible. The glitch continues until the game properly crashes and leaves us all staring at a blank screen.
