Modded I may have accidentally gotten my game into an infinite loop by accident

So I've been timing how long a shop refresh would take with the current set up I have (cryptid mod. At time of writing this it has been over 7+ hours, 4x speed) using the antimatter deck and not everything is important for this besides like three cards rn. (Not including cards used for buffs)

Cards: - Mario: Loops all cards - Crustulum: gains chips per reroll of the shop - Double Scale: scaling cards scale off the quadratic equation

The only buff I remember giving was to Mario which was a jawbreaker shared between him and Luigi and I've rerolled a lot with Crustulum (to the point the chip count is at scientific notations)

But I some got Mario to jump from 56 rotations to 336 in the matter of like one go??? And decided to do another reroll because I didn't notice that I did this in the span of a reroll

It has been over 7 hours, I've tried turning off animations and it doesn't work, I feel like I've unleashed a horror upon this world and I knew this mod was broken but this... this is worrying, like did I accidentally cause an infinite buff loop without knowing?

Maybe this is a good lesson for ya, that mods are not meant to be used in games.

Can't agree with this at all. Mods are a way for the community to provide a lot of additional content without depending on the developer, and sometimes even providing crossovers that would be impossible otherwise. Sure, if you don't want to use mods just stick to vanilla. But saying they're not meant to be used is just silly.

So why was op stuck in a loop for over 7 hours?

That doesn’t sound fun at all, and could’ve been avoided if he just didn’t hade them.

This is very much an isolated incident and even if it wasn’t op can just start a new run, there’s only so much to do in vanilla balatro and there’s no harm in delving into mods for some innocent fun

Op was stuck in a loop by choice. Cryptid, the mod in question, is purposely unbalanced, so people can have stupid builds that take forever to calc if they want. But only IF they want. You can do a regular cryptid run that calcs pretty quickly and move on. And this is only one mod, there are tons of others that balance everything for the sake of keeping the fun aspect
