[red hamlet]

so no need to change it

~1080 for hte wall to nane-inf

691 for violet vessel

[cold dome]

violet vessel is easier than the wall confirmed

[red hamlet]

no, it just has a higher scaling

so each chicot takes away more

[opal fog]

tbh holo joker is peak

i love it sm

it pairs with another good joker

which is dna

[cold dome]

it makes me very happy that the violet vessel gets ruined by chicot stacking
so many great runs died to it (like 2 runners + stuntman)

[red hamlet]

Marble yoker

straight stoning it

[cold dome]

almost won

[past perch]

Why didn't you sell the beans?

[cold dome]

what would that have done?

[past perch]

Nothing

[strong thorn]

I would have simply sold bean and gotten a soul from the arcana obviously /j

[wise skiff]

Is there a way to win here?

[cold dome]

pick a god and pray

[cold dome]

in hindsight i probably could've sold bean and tried to get more scoring, but oh well
bean was helping me scale the runners

[wise skiff]

Hell yeah

[jolly wyvern]

Hello chat what do I do if I love balatro but I’m really bad at it

[cold dome]

play
play more
succumb to the addiction

keep gambling

[jolly wyvern]

I have it on my phone and my friend bought it for my computer so I have this part down already

[past perch]

Ehm...

[red hamlet]

number enjoyer

[cold dome]

hologram enjoyer?

[glossy anchor]

I BEAT THE ORANGE STAKE

[past perch]

Yeh

[glossy anchor]

I'm literally a god

[jolly wyvern]

Yayyyyy I don’t know how hard this is to do but proud of you

(I have not won a single game yet)

[cold dome]

now beat gold stake on black deck

[jolly wyvern]

Y Ú C K lmao

[hushed pond]

Blue stake is when it gets hard imo

[red hamlet]

yeah

red and green isn't htat bad

black stake is a buff to certian things (ankh, madness)

blue stake just sucks

[cold dome]

rework 🥰

[jolly wyvern]

How does ante work in this game?

[hushed pond]

Oh yeah, isn't blue getting reworked

[red hamlet]

it's just a set of small, big and boss blind

[ionic spade]

Is there cross progression between mobile and PC?

[red hamlet]

no

[hushed pond]

That will be awesome

[glossy anchor]

thats just easy no, all i need is ante 1 triboulet blueprint and perkeo

[red hamlet]

it's planned tho

[strong thorn]

Blue stake rework leak || minus 2 discards ||

[red hamlet]

now beat gold stake black jokerless

[glossy anchor]

maybe brainstorm but I can do without

[ionic spade]

For how long is it planned tho?

[red hamlet]

[cold dome]

whenever you beat the boss blind the ante goes up, and the score requirement increases
beat ante 8 to win the game

[ionic spade]

Oh no

[cold dome]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-tm-soon-space-gif-23401891

[glossy anchor]

just give me a deck of 100 polychrome glass kings

[ionic spade]

Sadly I am not surprised by that answer

[glossy anchor]

and a bunch of flush five planet cards and cryptids

[jolly wyvern]

Ty

[ionic spade]

Where is localthunk when we need them

[cold dome]

-2 hands, -2 discards, vouchers no longer appear in the shop

[hushed pond]

Jokers cease to exist

[red hamlet]

nah
4oak

[cold dome]

4oak is boring
go big or go home

[strong thorn]

Small blinds and big blinds are now the flint

[glossy anchor]

4oak is going big

anything else is wayy too much

[cold dome]

not as big as 5oak

[glossy anchor]

but not as "not big" as 3oak

[red hamlet]

it's more consistent and the scaling is barely different

if you're gonna play 5 cards
skip to flush five immediately

[glossy anchor]

4oak is difficult to enough to draw on most runs before ante 9

[cold dome]

5oak is also cooler

[red hamlet]

yeah well

i'm just a lil guy

[supple sorrel]

U

[glossy anchor]

exactly, if I have a flush five its probably because I'm not done death-ing

[strong thorn]

What it feels like to play flush 5

https://tenor.com/view/fare-rdit-edit-capcut-dans-eden-fare-gif-8982140739262909087

[glossy anchor]

it just pollutes the planet pool

[solemn elm]

you go 5oak when the extra trigger(s) are better than the planet scaling you have on 4oak, and when you need the higher base

[glossy anchor]

I meant 5oak sorry

[cold dome]

how it feels to do a straight flush build

[red hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-cat-girl-talk-fast-online-chat-gif-16273991575876544877

[past perch]

Do you think it's a good idea to use this Joker? I haven't even figured it out yet.

[red hamlet]

if you're gonna play a lot of two pair, yeah

oh wait

madness, no

bad idea

[gaunt wren]

Good ol two pair build nothing beats that
fucking dies

[red hamlet]

the one on the right tho
yea

[ember root]

Naw

[cold dome]

two pair tastes so good when you ain't got an opp in your face telling you it's "bad actually"

[red hamlet]

two pair is just

good

[glossy anchor]

trousers enjoyer

[red hamlet]

i prefer skirts tbh

[glossy anchor]

I just love wearing trousers, apparently they can arrest you if you don't

[red hamlet]

skirts and dresses

[lusty raptor]

Should I pick the dice? Yorick is at X6 and lucky cat is at x8. My deck has quite a lot of luckies, although i think most of my mult is comming from flushes with ancient

[red hamlet]

if you want big pp scaling on the cat yeah
otherwise, put that bitchass blueprint on the ancient joker bro

unless glass

[lusty raptor]

i dont have glass lol i have it on chad so i can farm lucky

[red hamlet]

when you inevitably start dying

[lusty raptor]

wow

the numbers

[red hamlet]

yuuuuuup

[lusty raptor]

ive always wanted to do a lucky cat run though

[red hamlet]

cat would need 5x waht it is right now to be equal to just having that bp on aj

[worn gust]

I was a lil confused

[red hamlet]

did you play a 5 of a kind?

[worn gust]

Yh

[red hamlet]

yuuup

[gaunt wren]

The Skibidi Build I see

[worn gust]

Playing 2s

[red hamlet]

there's also flush five and flush house

[lusty raptor]

mi deck right now looks like this

i started playing mainly with ancient and i also had bloodstone so thats why i have so many hearts

[worn gust]

Ik but i'm playing like every other hand lol

[past perch]

Is it a good idea to use the Joker Midas and then buy the vampire?

[red hamlet]

yeah

midas will make them gold
vampire will immediately take it away and scale

.5x if you play 5 faces

[past perch]

Then I could wait for the Joker Pareidolia to come out

[red hamlet]

yuuuuuuuuuup

[cloud umbra]

I’m hundreds of hours in and only just got Idol to work for one of my gold stake wins

[ember root]

Yes that's one of the most famous combos

[red hamlet]

idol suuuuuucks big

[cloud umbra]

Yep

[ember root]

It's just infinite scaling for Vampire

[red hamlet]

bro thinks he's 🗿

you will never be

[cloud umbra]

It’s more decent for typical runs (not god runs with all identical cards) when you play flushes revolving around all 1 suit

I made everything I could clubs and it kinda sorta worked

[red hamlet]

yeah but like

[solemn elm]

eh

[red hamlet]

just use

[cloud umbra]

I would’ve but I needed the gold sticker

[solemn elm]

sure, but it isnt good there

[red hamlet]

idol still mid af

[solemn elm]

it doesnt do anything for your score

[cloud umbra]

Absolutely mid

[solemn elm]

its just a carry-along joker

[red hamlet]

god this plugin is hilarious 🗿

[cloud umbra]

I was amazed I actually did it and actually got it to help me

[ember root]

It's not mid it's either garbage for ante 8 runs or top tier for flush five endless runs

Wrong reply

[red hamlet]

so it's mid

[cloud umbra]

It evens out, making it mid

[red hamlet]

endless doesn't exist anyways

[cloud umbra]

“Endless”

[ember root]

But it doesn't even out :(

[red hamlet]

yeah

[ember root]

It's two extremes

[red hamlet]

cause endless doesn't exist

so it's just garbage

mid

[cloud umbra]

Ya

[ember root]

So it cannot be mid

[cloud umbra]

Kind of one of the weaker uncommons

[red hamlet]

i'm going to 🗿 you to death

at least iy's not loyalty card

[ember root]

Don't you dare

[cloud umbra]

I actually prefer loyalty card

[ember root]

What if I said Loyalty Card is better than Idol

[hazy drift]

Who out there evening their steven

[cloud umbra]

It pairs really well with Burglar

[cloud umbra]

Meeee

[red hamlet]

who out here 🗿 ing it up

PEAK

[cloud umbra]

I feel like I get Steven in every single run nowadays

[restive dawn]

Do I even take this guy..

[red hamlet]

no

[ember root]

Peak plugin lmfao

[cloud umbra]

Yes you’ve got the money for the rental

[red hamlet]

it's so good

[hazy drift]

I have never seen that shit before
Yes

[red hamlet]

it works with too

[ember root]

When you use all your discards and hands and still don't get the flush that AJ is targeting

https://tenor.com/view/mario-super-mario-bros-depression-sad-mario-and-luigi-gif-14815881022592239601

[restive dawn]

I like evening my Steven’s

[red hamlet]

bro is not 🗿ing it up

[lusty raptor]

thats a bit odd

[cold dome]

that killed a black deck run for me

[hazy drift]

That's a really evened steven

gurt: yo

[red hamlet]

it should be 3 todds and 2 stevens

[cloud umbra]

Bro really evened his Steven

[red hamlet]

you will pay for your transgressions

[cloud umbra]

But have you odded enough your Todd??

[restive dawn]

Here’s the seed lol

One of my first ever runs

3 invis jokers

[ember root]

Should've put the Stevens and Todds symetrically

[red hamlet]

no

should've had 2 stevens

[ember root]

Maybe that would've saved the run

[red hamlet]

and 3 todds

[ember root]

[red hamlet]

2 EVEN STEVENS
3 ODD TODDS

[restive dawn]

Well

[red hamlet]

AND BRO RUINED IT

[restive dawn]

I can’t pick what invis chooses 😭

Man I still haven't found pregnancy test in nubby

[red hamlet]

anything on weed is so peak

Next time I see a pregnancy test I’ll be like OOO REFERENCE

YOOOOO NUBBY

[gaunt wren]

The 7th kiss

[cloud umbra]

What’s your favorite Nubby common item

[red hamlet]

beach ball

(i don't play nubby)

[cloud umbra]

lol

[solemn elm]

pants

[red hamlet]

i had a good chance of being right if i just say any item

[cloud umbra]

You would’ve been right sort of but that item is a rare 🤓

[glossy anchor]

If i fix my deck to all spades can ancient joker still select hearts?

[red hamlet]

[cloud umbra]

It can yea

[restive dawn]

Whoever told me to take the baron was a legend lmao

[red hamlet]

yes
it doesn't care about your deck

[cloud umbra]

You’re welcome

[red hamlet]

it's so it's not op

[ember root]

Poop Butt

[glossy anchor]

well that sucks

[ember root]

Goated early game

[cloud umbra]

I love Poop Butt

[red hamlet]

it would be op as fuck on checkered lmfao

[glossy anchor]

that sucks baad

[red hamlet]

(it still is with smeared)

[cloud umbra]

I fw the finger puppet early game

And Cheese House

[formal merlin]

big fan of crazy straw because it's been in like two of my three wins so far

[cloud umbra]

I enjoy the scaling of Crazy Straw

[glossy anchor]

smeared makes every deck checkered, no?

[cloud umbra]

Yep

[formal merlin]

i should play more of nubby's number factory

[solemn elm]

crazy straw is baller

[ember root]

I'm also a fan of spamming Jacks on force summons builds

[cloud umbra]

I absolutely hate Glass Tony

I’ve tried for hours

[solemn elm]

jacks + kazoo + croissant infinite

[glossy anchor]

but you can fix to all wilds, if wilds weren't debuffed by everyone and thier grandma

[red hamlet]

yeah but that's effort and doesn't make it op
which is why idol is allowed to check your deck

becuase it takes effort to get it nice and juicy

[glossy anchor]

I see

[solemn elm]

so much effort that its unreasonable to expect it to be useful within ante 8 [idol]

[red hamlet]

remember your meds, chat

[red hamlet]

yuuuuuuup

[lusty raptor]

okay so now i do get rid of chad right

is this going to kill me?

[solemn elm]

whats yorick at

[lusty raptor]

x7

cat is x10

[solemn elm]

damn

[formal merlin]

it makes playing with aj significantly more interesting

[glossy anchor]

jj?

[red hamlet]

[formal merlin]

if it was the way you'd expect, aj flushes would be the exact same as normal flushes

ancient joker

[glossy anchor]

ohhhh

[glossy anchor]

makes sense

[formal merlin]

it's actually very fun trying to thin your deck while keeping your deck even

imo

[glossy anchor]

but you'd expect it to check the deck since rebate and idol do it

[red hamlet]

rebate kinda has to

same with idol

imagine if idol didn't check your deck

[glossy anchor]

I had a run of flush five kings and dies cuz I because I thought ancient was similar

[red hamlet]

1/52 it checks the card you actually want

[glossy anchor]

after fixing the entire fucking deck

[red hamlet]

rebate has a 1/13
idol has a 1/52
AJ is 1/4

rebate is absolutely getting nerfed
idol has to check cause otherwise it would be even more useless
AJ is already strong

[glossy anchor]

makes sense, but going based off assumption its not something that comes to mind immediately

[red hamlet]

you can giga buff AJ with smeared joker as well

[glossy anchor]

idol is kinda ass

compared to aj

[red hamlet]

yeah we established that

it's also why it's uncommon and aj is rare

[glossy anchor]

but it can get strictly better

[red hamlet]

so can AJ

[agile pawn]

idol takes a lot of setup

[past perch]

What?

[red hamlet]

hell yeah

stoners

[lavish anchor]

i think, people will say "high need baby" as a slur.

[red hamlet]

what

[red hamlet]

imagine if idol could hit stone

peak

[shy dove]

okay i checked i interpreted this to mean additional retriggers

[agile pawn]

i'm not sure how i'd feel about this tbh

[red hamlet]

this is so sad

chemicals are so cool

[left sluice]

what exactly is a held in hand ability?

[red hamlet]

not played

[past perch]

Is it a good idea to sell the red card to use the Joker that copies it?

[cold dome]

stuff that triggers when it's in your hand but not played
like steel cards, gold cards, and blue seals

[left sluice]

i see, thanks

[agile pawn]

stone

[red hamlet]

also shoot hte moon and baron

[cold dome]

rock and stone

[agile pawn]

shoot the moon my beloved

[left sluice]

whats the method to turn an entire deck into a held in hand ability

[red hamlet]

death (tarot)
cryptid (spectral)
dna (joker)

[cold dome]

tarots
lots of tarots

[left sluice]

i see

so like 1 card at a time

unless i have multiple dna

how do u get like insane amounts of consumable slots then

[limpid tree]

i still won in that one turn but oh my god it could've been over

that was also my first win on nebula deck

only one left to win on is erratic

then after that it's just trying to get gold stakes for everything

[past perch]

😭

[red hamlet]

Perkeo creates a copy of a consumeable that is negative

meaning it doesn't count to the 2 (or 3 with a deck, 4 with a voucher) slots

[left sluice]

so i want to have a perkeo with cryptid

[red hamlet]

or death

[cold dome]

you can't get 4 consumable slots ever (not counting negative consumables)

[rare yew]

These enchiladas are insane

[past perch]

Oh my god what should I do?

Lmao

[red hamlet]

i'm ngl

i thought magic deck started with 3 slots by default

i forgot it because of hte voucher

lmfao

[left sluice]

can i get legendary jokers from shop jokers? or only booster packs

[red hamlet]

only from Tarot or Spectral packs

through Soul card

[tawny pasture]

enchiladas sound good. i had a costco hotdog which is kinda close right?

[cold dome]

legendaries can only be found from the soul in booster packs
you will never find them in the shop

[rare yew]

Absolutely

[tawny pasture]

hell yeah

[left sluice]

soul cards appear in tarot and spectral?

[red hamlet]

yup

[cold dome]

yes
just very rarely

[red hamlet]

They're a spectral card but have a chance to appear in tarot packs as well
because it would be too rare otherwise

(idk if that's the actual reason ngl)

[left sluice]

is it possible to get like full steel deck without perkeo?

[cold dome]

it appears in tarot packs because it's based off of one of the tarots

[past perch]

Nooo!

Damn

[solemn elm]

hot dog -> sausage wrap -> burrito -> wet burrito -> enchilada

[tidal spindle]

I had a cheese sandwich

also howdy thunk, its been a while 🙂

[shy dove]

bootstraps haters be like: okay it HAD to be the todd right

although to be fair this run was stupid

[tidal spindle]

polychrome legendary moment

[cold dome]

chip joker to the left of mult jokers :(

[shy dove]

early clearance sale -> investment -> polychrome yorick

but like

[red hamlet]

what

chip jokers can be anywhere

also it's on-card trigger

so it can be wherever

[shy dove]

okay so i do normally have them like that but amber acorn shuffled them

but also it doesnt matter

[tidal spindle]

Also I still cant read your name seriously XD

[red hamlet]

it's a good name

[cold dome]

chip jokers to the right of mult jokers throw off the vibes

[red hamlet]

i'm gonna throw you off a cliff into a nice ball pit

[shy dove]

could say the same for you, "shadombulb."

if that's even your real name.

[tidal spindle]

It isnt

my real name is John Balatro

[shy dove]

called you out on your lie immediately

[red hamlet]

ok shadow_bulb1

yeah

get him, shadowspussy

[shy dove]

and like always they fold to the pressure

[tidal spindle]

Thats it

Im about to rage on reddit about this

m

is that a cryptid reference

joly jokerssss

[cold dome]

maybe (yes)

[tidal spindle]

Its an english alphabet reference

[agile pawn]

putting my chip jokers to the right of mult jokers just to spite you

[cold dome]

NOOOOOOO

[red hamlet]

putting my chip jokers in my pocket

Im just never gonna take chip jokers now

[safe ledge]

nuh uh

[red hamlet]

still

could be worse

[safe ledge]

isn't the plasma deck the one where chip jokers are better ☠️

[red hamlet]

well, yes, but no

chip jokers tend to give bigger numbers which are better on plasma

but in reality it's better to get a good xmult going

[safe ledge]

IT'S LITERALLY NOT EVEN OPEN ON MY PC I CAN'T GET IT TO GO AWAY

[tidal spindle]

Chips are better but its hard to win late game

nah dawg

cop roleplayer

big red flag

[safe ledge]

jokingn't

[safe ledge]

usually I troll the cops on there

[red hamlet]

and what do you do not usually

huh?

punch the innocent?

[safe ledge]

I figured out how the game tells you if you ran a red light

so I can bypass it

[cold dome]

reported for no-no words 😡

[safe ledge]

so I do that and the cops get so confused why it says I haven't ran a red light

they get so mad and for what

[tidal spindle]

Vonnegut 😭

[red hamlet]

it's over for you

[safe ledge]

I'd love to play Minecraft if all the realms I play on didn't die in 2 weeks

[tidal spindle]

Tbf Ive only taken the joker once so makes sense why you might forget

[safe ledge]

💔 I've sunk so much into this account in the last 5 years

[red hamlet]

should've thought about it when you picked that name, buddy

[cold dome]

realms 👎

[red hamlet]

realms

bro is on bedrock

10 years without a pause button in singleplayer

[safe ledge]

java has realms too?

😭

[red hamlet]

nah

that shit don't exist

[safe ledge]

java literally has realms lmao

[red hamlet]

nu-uh

[safe ledge]

but yes I play on bedrock because barely any of my friends also play on PC

[red hamlet]

side note tho

why the fuck did they make bedrock so shit

lmfao

[safe ledge]

java is better for modded but I grew up with Xbox 360

[cold dome]

realms on java is even more nasty

[red hamlet]

what do you mean the game makes a server for SINGLEPLAYER and it LAGS

[safe ledge]

because if they made it good then they'd have to cut off mobile support which is a big L

[red hamlet]

like it's legit fucking hilarious that it took them so long to make a PAUSE BUTTON for SINGLEPLAYER

at least the clips are hilarious

[safe ledge]

ok we get it

[cold dome]

money

[red hamlet]

it's honestly not even a dig at bedrock

just mojang

[safe ledge]

like I'm not gonna argue about which ones better I just prefer bedrock

[cold dome]

me watching hardcore bedrock players die to some stupid bug (they can't even load a backup)

[red hamlet]

like they want to keep the game sandboxy without real goals so players can have their own goals or wahtever they said

or how they said they're not gonna add industrial stuff

[safe ledge]

I have a survival world for me, my best friend and my step brother

[red hamlet]

but then make the auto crafter anyways lmfao

[safe ledge]

I carved the Roblox man face into a mountain

[red hamlet]

at least the ghast update lets people make merry go rounds

so tahts' neat

[cold dome]

i love stripmining for 11 years straight in vanilla

[red hamlet]

or moving platforms

[red hamlet]

i legit cannot play not modded anymore

it's so goal-less

[safe ledge]

the entire game is just 2 week Minecraft phase, modded or not

[cold dome]

same
minecraft is a game engine and the default experience is bad

[red hamlet]

mining for 3 hours to have enough cobblestone to make my cool castle

waiting another 2 hours for it all to smelt

oop

that's 5 hours gone

i'm bored

[cold dome]

kid named gt:nh

i feel like if you think that the entirety of minecraft's fun comes from "2 week minecraft phases", then that's probably not a very good game

[humble girder]

I love Cryptid man. Throwing balance out the window is fun.

[red hamlet]

well it doesn't

it's just that for a lot of people it does because minecraft's main appeal is creativity and stuff

and a lot of people tend to prefer just having a clear goal

like how in terraria there's bosses upon bosses and it constantly feels like you're progressing

you can get a full diamond set in minecraft in like 3 hours

netherrite isn't a huge upgrade for most cases
enchantments don't do enough to matter unless you're playing on higher difficulty than normal

[cold dome]

so true bestie
minecraft as a game? mid, fine if you're playing multiplayer i guess
minecraft as a game engine? incredible, the things people do with servers/mods is insane

[red hamlet]

it's why i'm always gonna keep saying that terraria is better than minecraft

cause minecraft does not have enough going for it to warrant being a good "game"
and why i'd love if they added more bosses and stuff to do

like if the warden wasn't just a big scary guy that drops a fucking skulker block when you kill him but an actual boss that drops something cool

or if the spooky forest they added had a cool generated park area

twilight forest does minecraft so good

cause it adds actual progression

[cold dome]

tbf the warden isn't meant to be killed, you're supposed to stealth around him
but for the most part i agree with you

[red hamlet]

no i know

[cold dome]

unfinished for 7 years (caves and cliffs reference)

[red hamlet]

I just kinda wish that it was like a scary early game threat

and you can get some goodies from chests and stuff if you sneak around

but then you can come back later in full diamond and kill it for a cool drop

like even the eye it has in the chest as a trophy

or use it to make a staff that shoots out the beams, but weaker

[jovial parrot]

everybody knows it's Jimbo

[red hamlet]

yuuup

6 mult

[cold dome]

i strongly dislike mods/mechanics that exist just to be a nuisance in the early game
although maybe i'm just too modpack-brained

[oblique marsh]

carry him to the red sticker

[red hamlet]

well it's not supposed to be a nuisance

Like how in Terraria you can't enter the dungeon before killing skeletron

[cold dome]

i unironically won a green stake run with a natural polychrome jimbo

[red hamlet]

or hwo you can't enter the abyss without progressing in the calamity mod

It's honestly why i'm so burnt out on balatro

[jovial parrot]

alright fine

[red hamlet]

never really feel a sense of progression
cause once you beat gold stake, it's really just a collectathon and it doesn't really change at all

[jovial parrot]

and I just got a runner

this is gonna be good

[cold dome]

i really need to give terraria a proper shot
it's been in my backlog for ages

[red hamlet]

it's really really really fun

early game can be a slog

but having that variety of playstyles between mage, summoner melee and ranged is fun

and it is completely playable without a wiki

since you have the guide to give you tips and stuff

and can guide you

hell, you can stumble onto the correct path most of the time

[gusty mesa]

crazy run i got doing challenges

[olive pendant]

dat a lot of packs

my game's gonna crash

[opaque shard]

The perkolator

[red hamlet]

#⚙・modding-general

[olive pendant]

my 2d copies 2's 4.2e8 times
ehehe

[opaque shard]

Open them all then silly

[red hamlet]

#⚙・modding-general

[olive pendant]

skipping a pack gives me a random tag :P

[meager plank]

I just beat blue stake with 13 jokers

[cold dome]

my joker :D

[neon wren]

has 10 million joker slots, doesn't bother to buy jokers 🙂

[olive pendant]

game crashed

obviously

i think 4e8 retriggers + all my at least 20 brainstorms + my canvas was too much

:(

weak ass pc

[olive pendant]

10m every round*

[austere peak]

Too many jokers are unnecessary and crash the game a lot

[cold dome]

the skill curve in cryptid is learning how to not crash the game
also it's not your PC's fault (probably), balatro has a hardcoded 4 GB limit

[olive pendant]

is there a mod to make it calculate shit anyway?
I like chaos :P

[austere peak]

No

[olive pendant]

D:

[cold dome]

if talisman doesn't work then i don't think so

[austere peak]

U can get mods to optimise it

But i dont think there is anything else you can do

[meager plank]

I finally got nest egg achievement

[cold dome]

https://tenor.com/view/minimum1-gif-26677264

[olive pendant]

u're right

[safe ledge]

that is so true

[neon wren]

with say idol, it's only e500k anyway

[olive pendant]

pathetic

[neon wren]

oh input cut off at 4mill. so a lot more. than 28 brainstorm copies of it...

[dawn canyon]

what do i do here

its cruelty challenge

[safe ledge]

pathetic, I wouldn't even use you on white stake

[dawn canyon]

PATHETIC I WOULDNT EVEN INVITE YOU TO MY SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY

[olive pendant]

pathetic, i wouldn't even play balatro mltiplayer with you

[safe ledge]

the one I had in my head 😭

[royal zenith]

Average runner plasma deck run

[slim junco]

What do I do?

Am I cooked

[shy dove]

this is a game winning setup

[slim junco]

How tho

[shy dove]

just save your money unless youre somehow dying now in which case take the spectral pack and hope for card creation

[jovial parrot]

How does Balatro work on console anyways

[slim junco]

I’m dying

[shy dove]

you have decent +mult and strong xmult

[slim junco]

Do I take hanging chad?

[shy dove]

do you have like any planet levels

[slim junco]

No

I’m on gold stake

[jovial parrot]

Bruh

[shy dove]

you can get planet levels in gold stake

just like try and play 2 pair with face cards ig

[woeful sapphire]

Light work

[jovial parrot]

Jack I'm gonna discard you

[slim junco]

Do I take hanging Chad?

[woeful sapphire]

Why

[slim junco]

What if face cards get disabled

[woeful sapphire]

Me?

[shy dove]

hanging chad doesnt help you with your scoring problem

more +5s is not the answer right now

[slim junco]

does anyone use GIMP here?

need some help rq

[loud plume]

Finally had a successful wee joker run I see the hype now

[ripe sable]

someone pick a suit

[serene wyvern]

i need your seed

[gusty mesa]

i never get these seeds in my regular runs

[lime mist]

lmao

[red hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/loya-phelps-loya_phelps-discat-head-tilt-gif-20016295

[loud plume]

Yeah I ain't the best with photos and I got no idea how to get a ss on the steamdeck

[quasi cedar]

Currently suffering purple stake 🥲 had a double blue print ancient joker then hit the window on ante 7

[acoustic shell]

As soon as I unlocked blue I went "what..?" And just played lower stakes lol

[quasi cedar]

LMAO

[meager plank]

Do I need chips and mult for plasma deck

[quasi cedar]

I just spammed chips tbh

[meager plank]

I used anaglyph deck and got 16 jokers to win

[quasi cedar]

Imo spamming chips is ALOT better then mult in the plasma deck

[meager plank]

My first run on plasma deck and my first 2 jokers are both hanging chad

[quasi cedar]

Unless u get like ofc baron or blueprint ancient

[quasi cedar]

Get that

Hiker

Hack

Stuff like that

Hiker + retrigger scales really fast

How i beat blue stale red dexk

[meager plank]

No photo double Chad 😔

[quasi cedar]

Photo + chad is actually op tho

[meager plank]

But plasma deck

[quasi cedar]

on plasma

I promise u

Chips

Atleast how i understand it is the mult is less worth it for plasma

Idk

[finite shadow]

@red hamlet obelisk doubters in shambles rn. Best joker in the game.

[quasi cedar]

Has anyone done the math

[quasi cedar]

Lemme see the run info

I don't believe this

[finite shadow]

Can be. But only to a certain point.

[red hamlet]

frfr

[finite shadow]

White stake you can effortlessly win with only chips

[quasi cedar]

I mean of ur trying to do a late game run u prob want negative x mult jokers + chips for plasma

[red hamlet]

Obelisk is just peak for when you're guaranteed to pivot

[quasi cedar]

But like if ur just tryna beat ante 8

[red hamlet]

like if you're playing weak hands a lot and don't have a set path

[finite shadow]

But people that will proudly say you don’t need mult on plasma surely have not beaten or can not consistently beat plasma on purple stake and higher

[red hamlet]

used it once in a run where i played a lot of 2pairs to buff pants
then i got obelisk and i moved to full house

[quasi cedar]

Have any of y'all beat red deck purp stake?

[finite shadow]

Nope

[finite shadow]

Yes.

[quasi cedar]

How???

[red hamlet]

i got it golded

[quasi cedar]

I feel clueless

[red hamlet]

stay above 25 dollars to max passive income

stop skipping if you're skipping

early on a good joker that helps you live is good enough
then try to get a scaling guy

[finite shadow]

The same way I beat every other deck on gold stake with every joker in the game idk just win

[meager plank]

BRO

SOUL???

[quasi cedar]

Wb soul?

[meager plank]

My first plasma deck and I have 2 hanging Chad and I just got soul

[quasi cedar]

WHO IS IT

[meager plank]

Idk I’m stalling to open it

[quasi cedar]

DO IT

DO IT

[meager plank]

Literally shaking rn and I yelled “what” when I pulled it

perkeo

How to use perkeo well

[quasi cedar]

Oooh perkeo

[meager plank]

Round 7 perkeo goes crazy?

[quasi cedar]

Observatory voucher

I mean

Idk what else

[finite shadow]

But long story short @quasi cedar In the very early game, yes, chips are better than mult on plasma deck, but in the late game, mult is objectively exponentially better. Chips can’t multiplicative scale, only additive. Mult can scale infinitely, chips can not. So when you evidently get your mult higher than your chips, it’s quite literally just ^2 to whatever your mult is

[quasi cedar]

What you could do is spam wheel lmao?

[finite shadow]

Lots of people fall for the “just play chips” approach with plasma up until they try purple stake and further

[meager plank]

Huh

[quasi cedar]

does perkeo copy spectral?

[finite shadow]

Yes

[meager plank]

How do I get spectral cards in my collectible slot

[quasi cedar]

But u can't normally get it there can u

[finite shadow]

Yes you can

[finite shadow]

Sixth sense or seance

[quasi cedar]

OH ROGHT

i was thinking cryptid + steel

[finite shadow]

What

[quasi cedar]

They got perkeo

[finite shadow]

Yeah

[quasi cedar]

Get cryptid

[finite shadow]

It’s not that easy lol

[quasi cedar]

Copy a bunch of steel cards when u need

[meager plank]

Can I just make my entire deck stone with this for the memes

[quasi cedar]

I mean ik

[meager plank]

Does anybody want the seed

[quasi cedar]

U could lol

[quasi cedar]

Yes plz

[meager plank]

I’ll give it to you when I finish the run

[finite shadow]

Naneinf is a very complicated thing

[quasi cedar]

Np

[meager plank]

I used the card that copied a joker and deletes all the other ones to copy Chad if you want double Chad

[quasi cedar]

Kid named Baron:

[quasi cedar]

Ooh

[umbral hazel]

I'M JONKLING.

[quasi cedar]

IT'S THE JONKLER

[finite shadow]

@quasi cedar I can tell you’re new to the game, but ngl totally loving your enthusiasm! If you do ever have questions about this game I’d be happy to answer or help you out :) I’ve beaten everything there is to beat on balatro. I love this game

[finite shadow]

Yes kid named baron is a very essential part

[quasi cedar]

Everything?

[quick mantle]

Hello

[finite shadow]

Yes

In the middle of doing it a second time rn on phone

[quasi cedar]

OOH

Is anyone willing to help me with my runs rn?

Bc I'm on my 4XX reset i think

[ocean wolf]

Hi chat I am a guy who really really sucks at the game

[quasi cedar]

Hi a guy who really really sucks at this game. I'm Yuki

[finite shadow]

Sure. What’re you stuck on?

[quasi cedar]

Still purple stake 🥲

[finite shadow]

Which deck?

[quasi cedar]

Red

[quasi cedar]

Wtf

What I'm currently facing

[shy dove]

yeah only noobs say that

like drspectre

[quasi cedar]

U mean balatro university?

[finite shadow]

Are you saying doc thinks chips are better than mult on plasma?

[shy dove]

yes the majority of his plasma deck runs he uses chips only

[quasi cedar]

Everytime i get madness, u have no eternals, and Everytime i have an eternal, i get no madness

[finite shadow]

It’s possible, but not optimal, and I find that hard to believe, given it’s quite literally an objective mathematical fact that mult has infinite scaling potential compared to chips’ finite scaling potential

[fickle cargo]

Hello, I play on mobile but have an Xbox and I’m wondering if there’s any way to switch my stuff over to my Xbox account so I have everything?

[finite shadow]

Mult is better than chips on plasma deck. If you think otherwise, you have not beaten it higher than purple stake enough. It’s actually a fact

[shy dove]

notably, ante 8 bosses are not infinite

[finite shadow]

I was using infinite and finite as an adjective there

Seriously think about it though. It’s so much easier to get your mult higher than chips. Is it not?

What’s the best way to make a bigger number. Adding or multiplying?

[vale fog]

adding... 0s to the end of it

[finite shadow]

Which is possible with the mathematical function……

[vale fog]

y=f(x)

[finite shadow]

And the function in which f and x are interacting is called….!

[vale fog]

sex

[finite shadow]

Bingo

[quasi cedar]

True

What do i buy here

[shy dove]

right, i like how multiple strong sources of xmult will show up lategame and i dont need to sacrifice other scoring for it

[meager plank]

@quasi cedar
VIWRYYR9

[red hamlet]

i'd hit the pack

[finite shadow]

To play plasma deck on a higher stake it requires you to play a completely different way. Like night and day difference. You need a scaling xmult joker, and of course you’ll be using only chips for the first few antes. While you’re using high chip jokers, you scale your mult jokers behind the scenes and then when number can be big, you fully pivot to mult, and then boom, your number is quite literally ^2 what it would be on any other deck

[quasi cedar]

Which one

[finite shadow]

Naneinf is e308. That’s what you need to score. On plasma deck, you hit naneinf at e154 ish

[red hamlet]

buffy obv

[finite shadow]

@red hamlet help me here

I’m being told that chips are better than mult on plasma

[shy dove]

are we talking about the same thing here

[finite shadow]

Wdym

[shy dove]

im talking about ante 8 you are talking about endless

[finite shadow]

No

I’m talking about in general

[shy dove]

you're saying stuff like what naneinf is

[finite shadow]

I’m making a point at how it squares your score

[shy dove]

yes it does square your score which is why chip only strategies can be good

[red hamlet]

i mean to be fair
chip jokers tend to have higher values by default with things like arrowhead or using stone cards

[finite shadow]

“Yes, it squares your score, which is why scoring by means of addition versus scoring by means of multiplication” doesn’t make sense?

[finite shadow]

I know. I’m not denying chips are necessary on plasma early game. But try beating a 1.6 million violet vessel with just chips without wee and retriggers

[shy dove]

okay no wee is fine but then just saying no retriggers is like lol

yeah if you get rid of all the good chip only jokers chips will suck

[finite shadow]

What? If you’re playing chips only, retriggers don’t do anything

No. My point is it’s not possible outside of one or two extremely niche uses of specific strats

[shy dove]

okay literally retriggering arrowhead/odd todd was how i beat gold stake on plasma deck you are being silly here

[red hamlet]

ok but that's just

Try beating naneinf iwthout baron mime

or perkeo

or anaglyph

like

lmfao

"Try beating this thing without [insert thing that's useful for beating it]"

[finite shadow]

Beating ante 8 and naneinf I’d say isn’t a real comparison

[honest canopy]

Stop giving Dr Spectred new ideas

[red hamlet]

It was a comparison

[finite shadow]

Realistic*

[shy dove]

he has done every last thing weve said, including beat plasma deck without xmult retriggers or wee through the bull

[red hamlet]

Like you can't just exclude certain items and go "my point is perfect"

[shy dove]

i actually dont remember if he retriggered there but idt he did

[finite shadow]

I’m not saying it’s impossible, and I’m not saying it won’t work. All I’m saying is mult is better. And it is genuinely

[mild tide]

hello guys

[red hamlet]

Ok but you actively said "Try beating it without these things"

[finite shadow]

I feel like if a deck win is dependent on one joker then my point of it being suboptimal stands stronger

[red hamlet]

Like it somehow makes your point better

[shy dove]

okay so sirkus (if that's even your real name) says that mult is better meanwhile one of if not the best player at the game says chips are better

[red hamlet]

But it's NOT dependent on those

[shy dove]

you excluded like

7 jokers girl

[red hamlet]

You excluded all retriggers

lmfao

[shy dove]

and an entire friggin seal

[finite shadow]

Mult is better

[red hamlet]

i still hate this image

[finite shadow]

I still hate you

I apologize if at any point it seemed like I was invalidating either of your guys’ points, was never my intention. I do feel the convo becoming less of a convo and more of an e-fight and would be down to change subject :P

[red hamlet]

It was a guy in a town hall meeting
They said they're gonna rebuild a school that burned down
Bro got up, malding cause his farm got ravaged by disease, and said he had concerns about the tax burden of rebuilding the school

[edgy lava]

Damn the lore

[finite shadow]

Hm. That’s yucky of him

[red hamlet]

like yeah the painting is called Freedom of Speech
but come on man lmfao

[shy dove]

many years later we no longer have a department of education

[red hamlet]

we still do

cause they still need to know who has college debt so they can apply insane interest rates

[finite shadow]

God bless usa

[west spear]

the game, you guys lost the game

[opaque shard]

Fuck you

Sorry that was rude

[worthy marsh]

gold stake is literally impossible

how do people do this

[plucky tangle]

no clue

i keep losing to black stake 😭

[west spear]

no flat mult all eternals

but its nebula deck so its a bit more understandable

[worthy marsh]

idk what ur talking about bro

[west spear]

you have no flat mult options

[worthy marsh]

what

[west spear]

and duo and runner contradict eachother

[west spear]

+mult

[plucky tangle]

also the hack is not doing much, nothing happens on retrigger

[west spear]

only xmult can work if you somehow have another good mult source but

[worthy marsh]

ok i feel bad now

lol

[west spear]

I dont see none of it here

[worthy marsh]

it was ante 9 and i picked up every shit joker with no syncronicity for the ss

[west spear]

oh ante 9?

then it doesnt matter.

[worthy marsh]

yea

[west spear]

Anything past ante 8 is just a competition for quicker baron mime

especially in gold stake

[worthy marsh]

ye

[west spear]

just have fun and die in 3 rounds more than usual lmao

[worthy marsh]

i cant bro

i cant take playing gold take longer thhan i have to

so i just go new run

[meager plank]

What

It sent once but I thought it sent twice so I deleted the first one but it deleted both because only one existed

[cobalt wing]

FIRST EVER SOUL CARD HOLY

[plucky tangle]

nice

[red hamlet]

HI BAE 😍

[plucky tangle]

what did u get?

[quasi cedar]

Let's gooo

[quasi cedar]

Lmao

[worthy marsh]

what was it

[quasi cedar]

Okay what do i buy here

[cobalt wing]

Canio

[worthy marsh]

ngl keep it as is

[quasi cedar]

Ooooh

[worthy marsh]

ur only xmult is card sharp

[cobalt wing]

but also FUCK

[worthy marsh]

gg take it

[meager plank]

Sorry for the ghost ping, I got perkeo again on my 2nd plasma deck run

[worthy marsh]

oh

nvm

[quasi cedar]

-# j mean u could sell canio

[quasi cedar]

LET'S GO

[quasi cedar]

I mean i have +30 on super nova

[meager plank]

What’s even better is I have the voucher that gives me x1.5 for every planet card held in collectible slot

Sadly it’s flush rn so I’m kinda selling

[meager plank]

This run would be better if you played high card

[quasi cedar]

You're set. It's ggs

[quasi cedar]

Aw

[meager plank]

No I’m cooked because my jokers are mid and I’m holding flush with steel kings

[worthy marsh]

lock in then twizzy

[pure lynx]

should i take the second negative? :/

[quasi cedar]

Yes

[red hamlet]

no cause it's for face cards

and you're playing faces cause of photo and sock

that shit staying at 0

[zinc gust]

I mean get it it's free

it's literally a negative

[quasi cedar]

It's negative tho

8/156 dollars

[umbral hazel]

I'm jonkling✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓

[pure lynx]

i mean, yeah... now if the negitive was a baron tho. yknow?

[quasi cedar]

I don't c y not tbh

[zinc gust]

even though it has no use

it's still a negative

take it or leave it

[quasi cedar]

Yeah

[zinc gust]

it serves no harm

[quasi cedar]

Unless u REALLY need that 8 bucks

[zinc gust]

which you don't because

you have like 156 dollars

[pure lynx]

ima take it. its an extra slot. and more chances to get baron.

[zinc gust]

sure

[pure lynx]

well... should i pivot towards baron? or should i do towards the moon? i mean... im gonna win either way. but.

[quasi cedar]

I lost on ante 6 this time

[pure lynx]

rip.

[heavy whale]

after two months of playing it finally is happening, my first even Naneinf

[quasi cedar]

Explain to me what I'm looking at

[heavy whale]

burrrrr

[quasi cedar]

True

[pure lynx]

thats a lot of negitives.

[quasi cedar]

Oh u got perkeo and cryptid didn't u

[heavy whale]

but in all honesty is 205 red seal steel kings + barron with two copies and mime with one copy

[heavy whale]

yep

the rainbow is is perk

[quasi cedar]

I luv cryptid

[heavy whale]

my ears

what is happening to the numbres

[quasi cedar]

The answer is

[red hamlet]

The answer is booooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiing

[quasi cedar]

L take

[rose frost]

lmfao

[quasi cedar]

The actual answer is everything is happening

[rose frost]

it was a perkeo

[rare yew]

it sounds like a giant jet engine warming up doesn't it

[heavy whale]

indeed

[quasi cedar]

Ooh

[quasi cedar]

Hi dev person

[heavy whale]

AND THE NUMBERS ARE GONE WE GOT NANEINF

[quasi cedar]

Thanks for the awesome game

[quasi cedar]

LET'S GO

[red hamlet]

anything past ante 8 is boring as shit

[rare yew]

congrats!

[heavy whale]

i still have over 100 steel kings to go

[quasi cedar]

...

You could've come farther

Just saying

Yk

Alittle

Like

Idk

10 more for laughs

But then ur headphones would break

[heavy whale]

oh no your absolutley, but like i forgot to copy perkeo for like three antes straight

[quasi cedar]

You can copy perkeo?

[heavy whale]

blueprint brainstorm

[rare yew]

well you can't

but blueprint can

[quasi cedar]

O

OH

That's busted

[pure lynx]

wow... uh... this is probably the best set of jokers ive ever had. compared to what ive seen, that sucks. :/

[heavy whale]

i could have went so much further if i optimized better, i think next time im gonna go for a full ante 39 run

[quasi cedar]

Honestly pretty good

[opal fog]

owo gets a chicot owo

[heavy whale]

this seed def had the possability for it but i played it badly

[quasi cedar]

My best set was uh

Lemme see

[heavy whale]

well maybe not

the vouchers kinda sucked

[opal fog]

id love 2 yorics

[rose frost]

i'm so gonna go naneinf with this

[quasi cedar]

My best was Hiker, walkie talkie, hanging chad, chicot, the hack, juggler

[rose frost]

time to pull an all-nighter

[opal fog]

what did you get

trib?

[heavy whale]

with what?

[rose frost]

perkeo

[opal fog]

delicious

double perkale

[heavy whale]

oh with perkeo you need a very specific combo to go naneinf
or well one of a couple very specific

[quasi cedar]

Anyways back to purple stake for me

[heavy whale]

why purple?

black stake best stake

[quasi cedar]

I haven't gotten higher

[restive crater]

gl

[heavy whale]

ah, want some advice one noob to another?

[quasi cedar]

I have reset atlest 420 (nice) times

[quasi cedar]

YES

[heavy whale]

boom

[heavy whale]

well... okay would you mind if i dm you so we can talk more in depth? i dont like clogging up chats

break the universe
$11

[quasi cedar]

Sure

[heavy whale]

heh, thicc

[quasi cedar]

Break the universe?

[heavy whale]

naneinf
its the max int score limit

[quasi cedar]

Thick (decks) save (necks)

[quasi cedar]

Y'all call that breaking the universe?

Or is that the achievement

Is there an achievement

[heavy whale]

its 1 with 309 zeros behind it

[quasi cedar]

There should be

[heavy whale]

officially no but its a milestone people like to hit

[quasi cedar]

You have to hit e308?

[heavy whale]

gotta pass it

[quasi cedar]

That's

[simple violet]

[quasi cedar]

I'm now extra proud of y

[heavy whale]

its not hard as much as it is alotta luck
