Dear reader, I have some sorry news to report—Balatro is taking over all of gaming. No RPG, no strategy game, no charming indie hit is safe. If you have a videogame, you are getting absorbed into Balatro, until all is rendered poker, praise be to the Almighty Blind. This is the part where you imagine me sacrificing a goat.

In celebration of its undeniable conquest of our conscious and subconscious lives, Balatro has released its third free cosmetic update, Friends of Jimbo: Pack 3, which adds 8 more games to its already-swelling, Lovecraftian mass of crossovers, for 16 crossovers total as of the time of writing.

As with prior packs, these updates are cosmetic-only skins you can slap on your deck to make you feel a little better when the boss blind inevitably tanks your entire run because you forgot to check what it actually was in a points-addled haze. Or does that only happen to me? Anyway, here are the following games added:

I’ve also gone ahead and taken screenshots of each of them, because Christmas has me in a festive spirit. Don’t say I never gave you nothing.

As always, the card sleeves are free and, after a quick update, will be in your game already. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and wash my brain of the psychic hazard that was opening the game again to take those screenshots, I can feel the hankerings arriving again.
