[limpid onyx]

😭

turn off lunar client vro 😭

[brisk pendant]

It's called poker

[long coral]

it is off i thought

[long coral]

but i want to include jokers and tarots, stuff like that

[slim junco]

I do have another open joker slot

[long coral]

Frieren?

[brisk pendant]

What did you want help with then?

[toxic plover]

someone already made one smh

[slim junco]

good show, you should watch

[long coral]

I need help with figuring out how to proceed. I ran a mock Ante 1 game around 20 minutes ago and found some flaws, and am struggling to continue

[long coral]

have it on my list

[brisk pendant]

It's honestly a pretty limited idea, you'd need a calculator to play the game normally, and there's very little if anything you can do that you couldn't in the regular game

[long coral]

My goal is to make a close to balatro game that has the feel of balatro but can be done physically

as well as is simple to pick up and play without trying to understand rocket science

[brisk pendant]

Well you should probably try deflating the numbers for one thing

[long coral]

fs

[brisk pendant]

Are you making it multiplayer?

[long coral]

I would like to, yes

[brisk pendant]

Go all in on making it multiplayer cause a singleplayer card game sounds sad

[livid berry]

Aka balatro

[long coral]

alright, then how should i start? cause my original thought was to get it working single player physically, then transition to multiplayer

[brisk pendant]

Well first you figure out how it has to be changed to fit the format

Physical games are a lot more limited cause you have to have the players do everything manually

[lost kindle]

im schizo

[long coral]

that's one of the issues i've noticed

[livid berry]

I'd change the shops to bidding so there's interactivity with other players there

[lost kindle]

i just saw ppl posting abt falg joker and stone discard joker in the same pack

[cedar glade]

rookie decision on round 7

[long coral]

that's actually a really good idea, thank you

[jovial parrot]

Yeah I know but

Negative tag is always a fun gamble

Plus at least even if it sucks you can have something to feed the leaf

[cedar glade]

on white stake its not an issue tbf

[long coral]

Also, is it OK if i screenshot some of these messages? i need proof for my class that i'm not just pulling stuff off GPT

[brisk pendant]

Yeah

Another thing you'll have to change is how easily builds can steamroll everything. There's not much of a game if one person easily wastes everyone else regardless of their hand.

[true obsidian]

balatro run
looks inside
fuck

[long coral]

so i'd need to balance some of the jokers?

[brisk pendant]

It's a complicated meta thing so you might have to rebalance a lot

[long coral]

aah. I might only put one of each joker, so it's way harder to steamroll

[weak tangle]

oh boy thats an interesting gold stake start

[brisk pendant]

Considering how rarely you change jokers in vanilla, and how rounds will take a lot longer in person, you'll probably have to change the way you acquire and hold jokers

[slim junco]

just get green joker now

[long coral]

what about making you pay rent on certain jokers, making the rent increase slowly, so as to encourage players to switch jokers?

[brisk pendant]

Could be an idea

Also you may want to reduce the joker slots

[long coral]

fair enough, too many and the points start stacking up too much

and with the tax idea that would get costly fast

[weak tangle]

nah rental kinda ate me

[brisk pendant]

Enhancements, editions, and seals will be really hard to adapt, as with most forms of deck fixing.

[slim junco]

oh true

[long coral]

damnit i forgot about those

[lean trench]

Everywhere I go i see his face

[long coral]

actually, the whole editing cards thing would be difficult.

[brisk pendant]

The most you could do is include an extra deck

[long coral]

I'd have to include multiple extra decks, but that gets hectic....

[weak tangle]

can u not just have little stickers u can stick on to represent an enhancement

[brisk pendant]

You could turn tarots and spectrals into "action" cards though

[weak tangle]

then just have a cap on how many u can have

[long coral]

what about taking the stickers off?

[weak tangle]

maybe a little token

[long coral]

then there's the issue of how it attaches to the card

[brisk pendant]

Instead of having to get 3 heart cards, just put the sun on the table and say these cards count as hearts for this hand

[weak tangle]

idk itd just look clunky however u did it

[brisk pendant]

There's no way of sticking things to the cards that's both cheap and functional

[long coral]

I can't tell if it was a joke like putting the whole sun on the table or not

[dusky oasis]

Balatro is so cool i wish cards were real

[long coral]

we could have sleeves?

[brisk pendant]

You need something that you won't be able to see before you draw the card

[long coral]

i guess even if it was clear backed it would still be simple to tell cards apart... unless all the cards had sleeves? and all you do is swap the sleeves out

that still doesn't help with the editions...

or seals...

[brisk pendant]

It's fine if you can't adapt that part

Things always need to be dropped when adapting from the screen to the table

[quasi cedar]

Beat erratic on white during attempt 5

Now on to gold stake red

[long coral]

i was hoping to avoid that as much as possible, but it can't be helped in this case scenario

[brisk pendant]

It's better that way

[long coral]

I guess even when i play normal balatro i never really use seals

[brisk pendant]

Physical games have to be simpler or they'd be way too complicated and take too long

But you can rework the ideas into something that fits the format

[long coral]

yeah... I think having enhanced sleeves would be keepable, but editions and seals might need to be lost

[weak tangle]

imagine wanting to play this with somebody and having to explain balatro to another person

would takes ages for me

[brisk pendant]

You can take seals and replace them with consumables, or something more ingenious

[long coral]

i guess instead of consumables you could have something similar to "mauls" from cryptid mod balatro, but have them be positive?

[brisk pendant]

Maybe a dice roll tells you which cards in your hand have an edition, enhancement, or seal

[weak tangle]

wouldnt add stuff to the game

its already gonna be complicated

[long coral]

probably a d20 or d100, and have the higher numbers be certain editions, while making the lower numbers be plain cards?

[slim junco]

is there an eta on when around the next update will be?

[long coral]

it would be replacing editions and seals

[slim junco]

thunk please brother if you can hear me from heaven, add potrait mode to the next update for mobile

[agile pawn]

Soon™

[brisk pendant]

I think you could just have a single 13-sided die corresponding to the ranks, and you roll it for each type of upgrade you have

[long coral]

and certain tarots give you the option to roll the die to enhance a card?

[brisk pendant]

Yeah something like that

[weak tangle]

are you not then rolling a dice like 20 times per turn

for every card

[long coral]

so i need to revamp tarot cards, take out editions and seals, and balance jokers, as well as make the shop a more interactive option

[brisk pendant]

You only roll once per hand, per upgrade

You could probably cap the number of enhancements, editions, and seals to keep it short

[long coral]

that would be helpful fs

We still haven't even touched planets or vouchers...

i have an idea for vouchers though

[brisk pendant]

Those are the easy part

You can mostly keep those as is, just grab em and keep em face up on the table

[long coral]

well, with the idea to make shops a bidding thing, there's the possibility you get more than one voucher

[brisk pendant]

You could do that, I think it would be important for everyone to get the chance to have a voucher

[long coral]

the idea i had was making it kinda like a playing field situation from yu-gi-oh, where everyone bids on a voucher from 2 displayed vouchers, and the winning voucher gets played in the middle of the board, doing an effect

[brisk pendant]

Honestly does it need to be different at all?

[long coral]

not necessarily. you could put a cap on how many vouchers there are and call it a day

or how many vouchers a person can have

and yeah, planets are simple enough

[brisk pendant]

Simpler is better for board games

[brisk pendant]

I don't even really get this idea

[long coral]

fair enough, and considering balatro is an already complicated board game

[brisk pendant]

Could they not just be permanent upgrades for a specific player?

[long coral]

hmm. wouldn't it be too broken if someone had all the vouchers?

[brisk pendant]

It comes at the cost of economy

All the vouchers = less of other things

[long coral]

which would make you lose jokers and tarots, making it more difficult

This has been really helpful! I appreciate the time you gave

I'll be sure to put you as a source

[brisk pendant]

I want to ask one more thing about your design

[long coral]

absolutely

[past perch]

What do you think of my game so far?

[brisk pendant]

What's the win condition and how will the players compete for it?

[long coral]

that's.... hmm

[ripe sable]

it's really long

[long coral]

I need to figure that out...

[past perch]

Do you think I should change something?

[brisk pendant]

Most intuitive is first to X total round wins

[ripe sable]

no like your screen is super long

you're gonna lose ante 7 i think though

you need more xMult than blind skipping and planet cards

[long coral]

that seems like a possibility, but score stacks for antes. is there a way to lose in the game?

[brisk pendant]

Since everyone is getting stronger as it goes, that's basically your ante

[ripe sable]

isn't there a multiplayer balatro mod

that does that

[long coral]

what if instead of having you do the normal balatro thing and slowly accumulate points to beat an ante, you have to collect enough points at once to progress to the next ante?

[brisk pendant]

Yeah but there's only so much you can take from it for a board game

[brisk pendant]

I don't get it

[weak tangle]

what if instead of like spectral cards u had cards that sabotaged somebody else

like -1 hand size this round -1 hand this round etc

[ripe sable]

oh, a board game. yeah that's an awful idea

[brisk pendant]

I think the more directly players compete the better

[weak tangle]

like u give somebody else a boss blind

[long coral]

depending on the number of players ppl who have the highest score after x hands progresses to the next ante, everyone else stays behind?

[ripe sable]

at the end of the day, poker itself is basically a balatro board game.

[long coral]

then how do i define antes?

[brisk pendant]

You don't need them

[ripe sable]

antes are a thing in poker, big blind, allat

[weak tangle]

do it like the balatro multiplayer mod

[ripe sable]

just play poker

[weak tangle]

give everyone 3 lives

[ripe sable]

💔

[brisk pendant]

Generally you want to keep everyone playing as long as possible

[long coral]

i could never get it to work

[brisk pendant]

First to X wins is the best format because nobody has to quit

[ripe sable]

you can also play poker....

[long coral]

i've heard you, and no

[brisk pendant]

Never thought of that

[long coral]

this is a school project, so trying to pass off poker as a school thing is a no go

[solemn elm]

me when i lack whimsy

[long coral]

and then the points to stack?

[ripe sable]

a school project about balatro

[long coral]

score, not points

[long coral]

correct

[ripe sable]

yyup

😁

[ripe sable]

do you go to balatro university

[long coral]

no i go to a high school

[terse ferry]

What the fuck

[brisk pendant]

You could do that or just have one hand per round

[ripe sable]

why are they making you do balatro assignments

[fringe patrol]

If only the marble joker wasn’t eternal

[long coral]

they aren't. we do personal projects and present them at the end of each semester

[terse ferry]

It was meduaa

[brisk pendant]

You'd need a massive deck to keep the game going so it's probably best to keep rounds short

[worthy pilot]

New to the game so I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. But I won with the red deck and it isn’t counting it as I won

[ripe sable]

a massive What...?

[brisk pendant]

You haven't finished the run yet

[ripe sable]

i think you could make that easier on yourself tbh

[fringe patrol]

Continue tab isn’t highlighted tho ?

[long coral]

So balatro, but compacted like uno or something?

[solemn elm]

past a8, the run has finished lol

the win counts once youve beaten a8

[brisk pendant]

You need to actually end the run

[ripe sable]

so this is what i'm saying, you're making poker by trying to condense balatro

[worthy pilot]

That’s what I thought, it said I won and I finished the run so idk what’s going on

[long coral]

quit it

[brisk pendant]

Not even close

[solemn elm]

clearly the run has ended

because theyre not IN the run here

[fringe patrol]

It might be a bug

[solemn elm]

its a bug

but explaining it away as if its intentional is moronic

[fringe patrol]

Cuz c+ achievement is bugged

[long coral]

just throw the next round, should work

[solemn elm]

theyre not bugged in the same way

[ripe sable]

so if you have balatro with a small deck of cards where everyone plays 1 hand and the better hand wins, that's not poker?

[solemn elm]

C+/C++ is bugged because the check for the achievement comes before you meet the condition, so you need to play 1 more run

[brisk pendant]

You made up that entire scenario yourself

[long coral]

better hand wins, people get paid according to the winning hands, and then you go to the shop

[fringe patrol]

Yeah but I’m assuming if they play a round on red then intentionally die it may give the win from before?

[solemn elm]

that isnt a solution for this bug

it just doesnt count sometimes

[ripe sable]

okay then explain it

[solemn elm]

you just need to win again

[fringe patrol]

Ah i see

I haven’t encountered that sort of bug before

[ripe sable]

oh so you get money from winning, i see, that's still poker

[solemn elm]

its common on mobile platform(s)

[solemn elm]

thats just not poker

[brisk pendant]

Well you can't just do better hand wins, you have to include scoring so there's more than just playing the strongest hand

[ripe sable]

then what would it be

[solemn elm]

exactly what theyre trying to go for; a physical, multiplayer variation of balatro lol

[ripe sable]

im trying to make sense of what seperates a balatro board game from just playing poker

[long coral]

thank you

[brisk pendant]

Just about everything

[solemn elm]

the additional rules and elements

[long coral]

with that logic what seperates balatro from online poker?

[solemn elm]

everything that isnt poker

[ripe sable]

it isn't multiplayer and is a roguelike

[solemn elm]

also in poker youre actually gambling

youre staking something you already have

[long coral]

there are mods that fix the multiplayer thing. is that just poker?

[brisk pendant]

Jokers, tarots, planets, chips, mult, shops, vouchers, spectral cards

[ripe sable]

you don't have to. you could also play for nothing and see what hands you have

[ripe sable]

no because it is still a roguelike

[terse ferry]

B51A8HCD

[long coral]

cause what we're making is a rougelike multiplayer balatro

also why u hatin

[solemn elm]

trying to equate it to poker when its not even close

there are poker elements, but it isnt poker.

[ripe sable]

i'm a hater and y'all are falling for the bait

[solemn elm]

that just makes you a bad person

[ripe sable]

no kidding

[long coral]

alright, well, i'll look over the advice you've given me @brisk pendant and i'll give you updates. tyvm!

[ripe sable]

-comparing hands with cards
-physical
-getting money when winning
-multiple players

it may be close guys

[long coral]

no, cause ur losing nothing

and it doesn't have to be money

[ripe sable]

you don't have to lose anything in poker dawg

[solemn elm]

so spain is germany because theyre
-both in europe
-both countries
-both have an official language
-both have a population greater than 1

[long coral]

his argument follows the same logic as urs

[ripe sable]

apples to oranges bud

[solemn elm]

which is my exact point

[ripe sable]

specific things

[solemn elm]

its flawed to say one is the other because there are major differences

[long coral]

i gotta go, but i wish upon you testicular torsion, @ripe sable .

[ripe sable]

i dont have testicles

[sharp compass]

.

[brisk pendant]

@ripe sableFuck off

[long coral]

I wish upon you blood pee

[ripe sable]

aye aye

[brisk pendant]

You're not trying to contribute to the conversation, you just want to argue

[solemn elm]

found as many similarities as you did

[ripe sable]

[long coral]

ty again GIVL, gotta go do math now 😭

[brisk pendant]

Childish honestly

[sharp compass]

So many black holes (help)

Black holes

[brisk pendant]

You'll get exactly what you asked for when everyone hates you for trying to annoy them on purpose

[solemn elm]

stop being a hater for the sake of hating and then maybe you'll actually be accepted

[worthy pilot]

Threw the next round and it’s the same thing, it keeps giving me the rewards though so I’m just gonna give it time

[brisk pendant]

I'm not gonna give you any more attention

[long coral]

restart game maybe

[ripe sable]

everyone loves me actually i just pointed out an inconsistency in calling a balatro board game something other than simply poker

sorry... sigh

[brisk pendant]

Blocked you, not gonna read that

[long coral]

eat lead

[solemn elm]

same here

[uncut spear]

balatro

[livid berry]

Rare footage of 8ball not being useless

I know the joker is so bad, but its one of my favourites to use

[shy dove]

its not that bad since it is tarot generation 🐈

[glad oriole]

why mult cards

but yea 8ball isnt too bad

[shy dove]

lets be so fr its fine theyll make it through the round 😭

[glad oriole]

probably but mult cards suxx

[glad oriole]

it actually does kinda snowball because the more tarots you get the more 8s you can create

[livid berry]

Steven and wrath are just there for hand mult so I can copy campfire

It takes so long to snowball usually

[thick moss]

Ah yeah it's useful as fuel for the campfire good eye!

[glad oriole]

as are any tarotgen jokers

[glad oriole]

thats the main issue with it yea, chance based jokers just be that way

[uncut spear]

i’m such a fool

[thick moss]

how ...

[uncut spear]

how fool?

uhhh

arcana packs

!!!!

[thick moss]

see I was looking for a specific gif of a horse but I can't find it

[uncut spear]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-reaction-reaction-elite-dangerous-borann-boys-gif-25049405

[thick moss]

it's the pixel art one where it prances up and then stays there for an uncomfortably long time

[broken peak]

i love double builds

[uncut spear]

i love erosion

[smoky prawn]

i lost again at balatro

i am not good

[uncut spear]

get back up and try again

[finite shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-chat-cat-fall-hello-chat-cat-gif-24961178

[uncut spear]

you can do this

[shy dove]

why does this have to be a double build this is just a build

you have mult and chips a normal and quite powerful combo

[broken peak]

i mean like two different synergies

i once had both baron mime and photochad at once

that typa thing

[noble star]

Interesting name

[shy dove]

i could say the same for you, "shaw."

if that's even your real name.

[noble star]

Why, I am John Shaw

[dusky oasis]

Bro is this dude

[opaque shard]

What if we discovered an actual 9th planet

What hand would it upgrade

[frigid marsh]

the royal flush

[sharp compass]

is apparently straight flush but that's very good

[frigid marsh]

why isnt there royal flush in the game anyways

[zenith sequoia]

Hola

[dusky oasis]

There is, but it's just a straight flush with a unique name

[open tinsel]

straight flush is more logical tho

[ionic osprey]

Inject 5 negative perkeo into your save file

[real fern]

Just had crimson heart as my boss blind for ante 8 and it didn't move a single joker

Like a real big win moment

Wait no

Not crimson heart

Tf am I on abt

Amber acorn

Had to check after I said it to see if I was right I forgor the name

Glad I did

[quasi cedar]

Lucky

[real fern]

Like it would have thrown the whole thing coz only one x3 mult is a bit sad to my like 28 base mult

But 3x 4 times

That is gud

[strong thorn]

Just got five gold stickers in one run let’s absolutely go

[ionic osprey]

chat what do i do

[signal yacht]

You Balatrod

[strong thorn]

ANTE 1???

Oops all Perkio

[tidal cave]

install the discord desktop app

[signal yacht]

Lmao

[ionic osprey]

ah yes a desktop app that's still written in javascript.

[wintry patrol]

guys i think his run might be fake but i don't know

just a guess

[hushed pond]

wooooo gold stake ghost deck is done

[slim heath]

Nah

[hushed pond]

btw mail is best econ joker you cant convince me otherwise

[slim heath]

Was Blueprint the first joker you got?

[hushed pond]

rolled it off a tag but yeah

[wintry patrol]

nobody needs to

we all agree

[slim heath]

Nobody wants to

[marsh otter]

i think burglar + blueprint is best econ

[wild prism]

Is Bootstraps gonna get. A buff

[wintry patrol]

stop trying to bait me i don't want you

[wild prism]

Who thinks bootstraps need a buff

[hushed pond]

maybe every 4 dollars?

[wild prism]

Maybe 3 for every 5 $

[hushed pond]

that works too ig

[wild prism]

Make it a 60% conversion from dollar to mult

Or maybe

Nvm

[half drift]

yarbis pon balatro

idk what im doing

balatro balatro balatro

[wild prism]

You may be goated…

[tidal cave]

is that aspect that significant?

[tidal cave]

no one. bootstraps is """weak""" because its insanely powerful with the right setup

you should only take it if you have good money generation (farily easy to get)

gold cards, gold seals, seed money

lucky oops all sixes, whatever

any kind of money generation makes bootstraps very powerful

it does NOT need a buff

[wild prism]

I know it CAN be goated but I feel like the mult per $ should at LEASY be like 1/2

It’s like a 10% buff

In comparison to if bootstraps was 100% efficient

[tidal cave]

ive had it give me over 100 mult

[verbal zephyr]

my beef with bootstraps is that if you have the money to make it work the run is won anyway

[tidal cave]

extra win

[tidal cave]

i still think you should download the app

[meager plank]

Brain joker highlights highest possible hand

[tough dome]

wait how the hell do you break balatro like that

ik its fake but like

[meager plank]

Mods I think

[young bolt]

i love my life ❤️

[lavish zenith]

jokers are good when they're good and bad when they're bad

tier lists are silly nonsense

[tough dome]

do you put the blueprint on stone joker when selecting the blind

please tell me you do

[warped sphinx]

i won my 2nd ever black stake run because of bootstraps and double bull

[young bolt]

oh wait i didn't think about that

[warped sphinx]

bro

[young bolt]

thank god the run is still going

[lavish zenith]

bootstraps is a solid joker btw it's great flat mult

[warped sphinx]

supernova is the best flat mult joker ever 💯

[lavish zenith]

nah i kinda dislike supernova

[warped sphinx]

the joke is that supernova is terrible

[lavish zenith]

i mean if you've got a high card setup it's good i reckon

[warped sphinx]

supernova is good early game its pretty much useless after like ante 6

[lavish zenith]

there is no such thing as terrible. it is terrible when and only when it is terrible and good when and only when it is good

[young bolt]

and also i have splash which makes the run much better

[lavish zenith]

splash, the perfect example

sometimes it is good. sometimes it does nothing for you

to say it is any tier is just plain silly

[young bolt]

it does nothing when you like an idiot just selecting the highest cards

[lavish zenith]

splash could go hard with like a pair run or a 3oak run or smth

[lavish zenith]

no that's actually when it's the best, making cards score that wouldn't score otherwise

[warped sphinx]

tse (these) takes are pmo

[solemn elm]

supernova is retroactive

this is true for bus and green joker, not of supernova

[lavish zenith]

high card is the obvious application for splash tho

[solemn elm]

supernova is the only one of the three that stays relatively powerful no matter what stage of the game you find it

[lavish zenith]

the time when you find the joker matters as well

[warped sphinx]

me on ante 14 with my +54 mult supernova

[lavish zenith]

even joker is good if it's like. the literal first thing you buy

[solemn elm]

endless doesnt count

[lavish zenith]

like +4 flat mult is kinda nice for super early game

[solemn elm]

because in endless both chips and +mult really dont matter, its xmult that matters when youre past a8

[lavish zenith]

falls off hard obviously but that's okay

[solemn elm]

by which i mean within a8

endless doesnt exist for balance arguments

[lavish zenith]

endless doesn't count as a stage of the game. you've already won

[solemn elm]

endless is postgame

its like doing a victory lap in isaac

[weak pine]

First w, i find that just buying saturn and brute forcing straights over and over never fails

[lavish zenith]

balatro is a game about building the car while you're driving it. sometimes you get ride the bus in your first shop and brother? you better be taking it

[warped sphinx]

congrats

[weak pine]

accidentally played a level one straight flush right off the bat and screamed in agony

[young bolt]

chat am i fucked

[warped sphinx]

no

[weak pine]

Is ayoub like a cool version of yakub

[lavish zenith]

you put a bajillion stones in your deck so you'll have a hard time drawing anything good. maybe you could grub for like a 3oak?

[rare yew]

137/150 gold stickers chat I’m cookin

[lavish zenith]

yooo

[young bolt]

nah uh, victory lap is replaying the game with all your items, endless mode is just keeping going

[solemn elm]

still, endless doesnt matter for balance discussions imo

[young bolt]

who's yakub

[solemn elm]

what are the last 13

[weak pine]

https://tenor.com/view/yakub-glaze-lebron-james-lebron-gif-7450672780557101522

[lavish zenith]

i mean endless is its own sort of zen that shouldn't be ignored balance-wise

[young bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-gif-27442765

[lavish zenith]

just should take a backseat to balancing non-endless, if nonendless needs any balance tweaks at all

[neat sphinx]

How much vram do you need for this game

[warped sphinx]

3

[weak pine]

one balatrabillion

[solemn elm]

it can run on integrated graphics, you dont need vram

[lavish zenith]

i might question if straights are all that good? feels like they don't mesh well with many jokers except ones that make it easier to play straights

[grave crest]

came to share this with the general chat since this is the most raw luck I've ever gotten in this game and it actually scares me how I pulled any of this (I lost here but the jokers are what's important)

my baby twins

and canio too ig

[solemn elm]

straights are very good

[warped sphinx]

is this seeded

[grave crest]

no that's why I'm sharing

[warped sphinx]

[grave crest]

I actually lost my mind when I pulled canio after a charm tag skip

[solemn elm]

the problem with straights is draw consistency

[grave crest]

like mid run

[lavish zenith]

what is a hand type that could use some love

[solemn elm]

planet scaling : draw consistency, straights are one of the best

[solemn elm]

full house

and 5oak

[lavish zenith]

full houses are great

[solemn elm]

they scale like shit

+2 +25 is only 5 chips better than venus

[warped sphinx]

does anyone even play straight flush besides seance value

[young bolt]

i fucked

[solemn elm]

for going from 3 -> 5 cards

[young bolt]

😦

[clear tulip]

Full houses are great if you can make them consistently, which is hard

[rare yew]

Full house will get no love from me

[lavish zenith]

they scale really good? pivot to flush house goes hard too

[rare yew]

Worst hand

[clear tulip]

At least in the early game

[lavish zenith]

the dev hates my favie !!!

[solemn elm]

im talking specifically about full houses.
flush house is its own hand.
+2 +25 is NOT good for a 5 card hand

[young bolt]

damn even the maker of the game agrees

[grave crest]

yes now EXPLODE!!1!1!1!1

[solemn elm]

they scale better than flushes, but for worse draw consistency its really not that much better

[lavish zenith]

i don't have any trouble getting full houses early game

[grave crest]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-run-fast-meme-bumble-bee-gif-12734932526654691281

[solemn elm]

that doesnt make them worth running though

[clear tulip]

Abandoned Deck is the only decent deck for Full Houses since you only have 40 cards

[lavish zenith]

the pivot to flush house is key

[clear tulip]

Makes it more likely to draw into it

[warped sphinx]

me after discarding my 3 clubs and 2 hearts just to draw 2 clubs and 3 hearts

[lavish zenith]

or to just plain 5oaks

[solemn elm]

flush house is usually only viable in checkered, outside of very niche circumstances

[solemn elm]

which also scale like shit

[lavish zenith]

???

[solemn elm]

you go from +3 +30 to +3 +35 from 4oak to 5oak

[candid mountain]

we should get the square pants joker

[rare yew]

Deck fixing for full house is usually the same as deck fixing for 3oak/4oak/5oak, the latter two scale much faster than full house

[solemn elm]

theres very little reason to go 5oak over 4oak

[solemn elm]

and 3oak scales only 5 chips slower than full house 😭

[rare yew]

And is more reliable yeah

[clear tulip]

What's 3oak?

[lavish zenith]

ive entered a strange world where people don't like full houses

[candid mountain]

hey its localthunk

[solemn elm]

im glad youve played more of the game and engage in balance discussions more than you used to

[young bolt]

balatro teaches us math ☝️

[grave crest]

also wanted to say I killed all my face cards in 2 rounds with canio, I love him dearly

[rare yew]

I did this so much pre launch

[solemn elm]

oak = of a kind

[rare yew]

Like way too much honestly

[clear tulip]

Thank you

[lavish zenith]

i find drawing for full houses easier than drawing for flushes in many circumstances. also it contains pairs, 3oaks, and two-pairs, synergizing with a fair bit of jokers

[solemn elm]

at the start sure, but when you account for deck fixing flushes are much easier to fix for

[lavish zenith]

they scale alright, i like scaling them more then flushes and they're basically equal

[clear tulip]

Let's face it we all play Balatro a bit too much

[lavish zenith]

full houses are easy to fix too i feel

[grave crest]

yes, it is quintessentially crack 2

the sequel

[lavish zenith]

well, not easy, but like. not hard

[solemn elm]

harder than for flushes

[lavish zenith]

consider: fixing for flushes and full houses simultaneously

[young bolt]

this game ruined people's lives in a good way

[grave crest]

yes. I am a changed woman

[solemn elm]

flush house isnt consistent unless youre getting serious tarot gen +/ youre on checkered

[lavish zenith]

??

[solemn elm]

im talking within ante 8

[lavish zenith]

yes ?

[grave crest]

or changed man to... woman? idk being trans is weird

[clear tulip]

True, I discovered this game just as soon as I got hooked onto poker, it was meant to be lol

[solemn elm]

you cant just ??, what bit do you disagree with

constructive conversation and discussion <3

[warped sphinx]

what do you mean?

[lavish zenith]

i don't have issues fixing for flush houses?

[red hamlet]

Barely 100 hours for me

[clear tulip]

[red hamlet]

No real run in like 2 months

[lavish zenith]

theyre not much harder than flush fives

[solemn elm]

fixing for flush houses requires you to fix both ranks and suits, which makes it very inconsistent

[young bolt]

just say you're trans and that's it ☝️ everybody knows wht trans is ☝️ "optimus prime"

[solemn elm]

which also isnt super viable within ante 8

[lavish zenith]

i don't believe that

[solemn elm]

huh

[lavish zenith]

i simply believe the statement is incorrect

[clear tulip]

I think I'm somewhere around there, I can either go without playing for weeks or spend literally all day playing

No in between

[young bolt]

least play time for a balatro player

[solemn elm]

youre welcome to, but youll find very few people who think flush fives are a viable hand to consistently draw within ante 8

[warped sphinx]

[clear tulip]

Balatro also became a lot more for me when I started playing higher stakes as well

[lavish zenith]

they're usually ante 6-8 but they're the end phase of many of my runs

[grave crest]

[shy dove]

you're a woman dw

[solemn elm]

are you a white stake player

[lavish zenith]

no ?

[warped sphinx]

last time i played erratic deck i had an instant flush house in hand so i can see where you're coming from

[grave crest]

apologies tro I am Optimus prime actually

[lavish zenith]

i do play a lot of erratic

[grave crest]

thank you

[solemn elm]

then im not sure why you have that opinion

[solemn elm]

autobots, girl out

[clear tulip]

Erratic Deck is fun because it's basically instant deck fixing

Once had 9 kings in a deck

[grave crest]

Hehe hehehe more than meets the eye

[warped sphinx]

thats something a decepticon would say

[lavish zenith]

ive been playing a lot of >gold stake cryptid lately tbh

[grave crest]

apologies tro I'm actually nemesis prime sorry

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-run-fast-meme-bumble-bee-gif-12734932526654691281

[warped sphinx]

i can't get cryptid to work 💔

[solemn elm]

not conducive to reasonable balance opinions

so thats not surprising

[lavish zenith]

i should dive back into vanilla and reembrace my full houses

[warped sphinx]

[red hamlet]

Silly puppyyyyy

[lavish zenith]

you seem to be looking for reasons to discount what im saying based on character more readily than anything else

[grave crest]

[solemn elm]

not reasons to discount, reasons to explain

[lavish zenith]

ah ive gtg now

what is the correct way to say balatro? bala tro? or balatro?

[red hamlet]

a balatro (/ˈbɑːlɑːtroʊ/ BAH-lah-troh)

[wintry patrol]

the funny thing is i'm pretty sure localthunk has said there's no objective way to pronounce it

[stable raft]

okay good phew

[stable raft]

alright

ive been saying it the "right way"

[meager plank]

My friend is the 17th highest ranked volleyball player in my state

[stable raft]

CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!!

[wintry patrol]

so i guess we have two different options which are both "correct" for the pronounciation lmao

[dusky oasis]

Chicken joker

[stable raft]

local should add a chicken jockey jocker

just a zombie joker

what effect would it have???

hmmm

[wintry patrol]

chicken jockeyr

[stable raft]

yes

[meager plank]

I say buh-lah-tro

[wintry patrol]

yeah i do as well

[rare yew]

I didn’t make the word up

[stable raft]

yes

[wintry patrol]

wait

[stable raft]

oh hello

[vague remnant]

Chick-en jock-ey

[stable raft]

yeah it means like jester

i think

[opaque shard]

Localthunk jumpscare

[meager plank]

It’s not an English word we say it wrong all the time technically

[wintry patrol]

i did not realize it was a real word LMAO

[vague remnant]

what does it mean

[stable raft]

wait. a STEVE JOCKER

[opaque shard]

I'm gonna be unique and different and pronounce it Baylatroo

[wintry patrol]

well i'm still going to pronounce it wrong then

[stable raft]

it means jester

like royally

i think

[meager plank]

I thought it was like courtyard jester in specific but I don’t remember well

[wintry patrol]

In ancient Rome, a balatro (/ˈbɑːlɑːtroʊ/ BAH-lah-troh) was a professional jester or buffoon. Balatrones were paid for their jests, and the tables of the wealthy were generally open to them for the sake of the amusement they afforded.

[stable raft]

yeah maybe

[stable raft]

there ya go

[rare yew]

Its like if I made a game called “dungeon” and people were like “how do pronounce it”

I unno

[stable raft]

fair

[wintry patrol]

lmao

[meager plank]

doon-gee-on

[rare yew]

Why y’all asking me

[stable raft]

local have u seen the minecraft movie?

[wintry patrol]

ask the ancient romans

[meager plank]

How do you personally say it

[wintry patrol]

they probably know

[opaque shard]

It's like pronouncing gif, there's technically a correct way to pronounce it but that correct way sucks balls

[red hamlet]

[meager plank]

I hope Balatro gets added to English dictionaries over your card game

[opaque shard]

It is at least similar

[frosty turret]

do yuo like balatro

[stable raft]

i would assume he does?

idk maybe not

some ppl hate what they make/do

[wintry patrol]

yeah i don't think he does he made the game just to spite people probably

[meager plank]

Idk because a lot of people hate their kids and they made the kids

[rare yew]

I play that shit every day

[opaque shard]

My dad doesn't hate me

I hope

[stable raft]

so do i dude

[meager plank]

You were in a YouTube video

[red hamlet]

ok but why would it

[meager plank]

Because it becomes the most popular game and then people start using the word in conversation to describe something

[opaque shard]

I'm aware

[meager plank]

Balatro
(Slang)

[red hamlet]

No 🗿

[stable raft]

balatro should be a substittue for the word joker

[meager plank]

You dislike blue stake because you want to play 5 card hands

[red hamlet]

it already is

or a casino related thing

[red hamlet]

it's literally from rome

[meager plank]

I’ll get Kai cenat to say it so then it is like rizz

[red hamlet]

it'll catch on in a brainrot way for like a month before dying out again

[red hamlet]

yeah but rizz actually means something in the first place

[meager plank]

I can make Balatro mean something trust

[stable raft]

say it in an interview than everyone will notice it

tell everyone to say it

and ull make a joker

[rare yew]

But Balatro means something too lol

[stable raft]

or smthn

[stable raft]

CHANGE THE MEANING

[red hamlet]

yeah but like
it's just a different word for Jester

[meager plank]

CHANGE IT

[stable raft]

FOR THE SAKE OF BALATRO

CHANGE THE DICTIONARY

YOU HAVE POWAH

[red hamlet]

how the hell would you use that in a sentence similar to rizz lmfao

[meager plank]

Ok but there has to be words that technically mean something else but we don’t say it as what it technically means

[stable raft]

you have so much balatro dude

hes balatroing her up

[rare yew]

That rizz comparison makes you sound like a balatro

I had the idea of a golf roguelike before funny enough

[red hamlet]

they should make a steam review game

where you review games

[inland flume]

Its almost imposible to win but too funny tho

[opaque shard]

Is it good

[red hamlet]

and it's just endless minigames

[rare yew]

[raw aspen]

i love this review sm "if youre looking for

*a game

[inland flume]

Like ur idea

[vernal sedge]

No the best part is it’s no games, and you call the game discord

[slim junco]

when is balatwo coming out

[opaque shard]

Understandable

[jovial parrot]

to be fair though it also requires the least amount of skill

which is both the worst and best aspect I suppose
