[lone vault]

peak game?

[near horizon]

I remember using it to beat blue stake on blue deck

[vague sleet]

what in the round 1 natural negative brainstorm

[thorn solstice]

sigh i hate orange stake

[meager plank]

Try gold stake it’s even more fun

[thorn solstice]

how did you get to gold stake on ghost man

[vague sleet]

i think its actually my deck with the most gold stake wins

[thorn solstice]

cant my highest is on ghost deck and im on orange stake and im making so many mistakes and i cant figure out what to do half the time

[vague sleet]

i find its really easy to find a good common scaling joker early and just commit to it with the hex for direction

like ride the bus, supernova, even runner or square joker sometimes

[thorn solstice]

i won purple with a negative nova and 2 polychrome stencils

that was all i had for jokers

[hoary kernel]

WIN!!!

[vague sleet]

just keep a mental checklist of what you need to score / where your scoring is coming from

[thorn solstice]

hands and card management is where i fall off im good with everything else

i cant understand how to trim deck and level up my hands in a timely manner

[fossil gulch]

tell me when the riff raff gives a photo

[vague sleet]

i tend to open a lot of standard packs in my runs until i find some blue seals, idk if thats optimal but as soon as i get a blue seal the game kind of plays itself

[hoary kernel]

ignore the reply i forgot to

[hoary kernel]

no but it gave me this

insane seed

well that was easy

[rough fog]

has anyone figured out any way of beating gold stake more frequently? I find myself pressing R for half an hour

[thorn solstice]

do i skip for a rare joker on 1st small blind of game on orange stake?

also is this peak jokers

[hoary kernel]

i would never skip for anything unless its the investment tag or the coupon tag

early game at least

[vague sleet]

i do it for funny but 80% of the time ur getting a perishable

[rough fog]

prob not. The joker probably wont be that helpful and you end up with no money

[thorn solstice]

ill get like a dollar from small blind

[stiff hull]

Fastest way is to just get rid of cards. Or change into cards you want.

This is why everyone will tell you immolate is insanely good. 5 less cards + 20 dollars is basically 0 downside

There’s also hanged man and death, cards that can help polish your deck immensely

To get all this stuff? Well that’s where the hopefully vast Econ youve developed comes in.

[thorn solstice]

my issue is when to start doing it or how to get the things to remove i get boned with luck 90% of the time

[stiff hull]

When to start removing? Immediately. Just get rid of lower ranks. Most jokers tend to synergize with face cards, and higher ranks give better chips anyway.

Now there’s exceptions to this like anything, but as soon as you have reliable Econ, you should be deck fixing

[sleek nest]

i love cryptid mod

[rough fog]

flush twelve

[thorn solstice]

i get fibonacci alot with the other one thats 2s,3s and 5s

[sleek nest]

yep

[hoary kernel]

winer

winner

[rough fog]

chicken dinner

[stiff hull]

Another thing, especially on orange stake: just because a joker is perishable doesn’t mean it’s worthless.

5 rounds is still almost a fifth of a whole run if you never skip, and they can stopgap holes in your build until you find something better

@thorn solstice

[thorn solstice]

this is information

[rough fog]

if i buy a perishable joker, can it still appear in the shop for the time i have it?

[vague sleet]

no

and i agree with this, esp in the early game

[fossil gulch]

riff raff?

[rough fog]

so there are times where its not worth

[vague sleet]

chances are you take a joker just to get through some of the earlier stakes and you plan to sell before 5 rounds anyway

[stiff hull]

No. 😦

[hoary kernel]

riff raff negative chad
ecto negative photo

[stoic spire]

i HATE good perishables

[thorn solstice]

i struggled with purple stake just to get thrown straight at another road block that will take me a few weeks to beat

[brazen phoenix]

orange stake moment

[thorn solstice]

womp womp skill issue ig

[stiff hull]

Once you get past orange stake, gold stake isn’t too bad. It’s all about having good Econ, which you should be doing anyway

[thorn solstice]

i have 2 polychrome hikers this is a very mid W but a W nontheless

[stiff hull]

W is a W

[slim junco]

i kinda like tarot cards

[stiff hull]

I love tarot cards

[vague sleet]

i find that situations like this make the game really easy just because you have a very clear goal

[brazen phoenix]

I LOVE TAROT CARDS

[lone vault]

went into the game files and removed the png for pareidolia

[brazen phoenix]

in balatro and real life

why did you do that

[thorn solstice]

still no clue what my goal is here

[lone vault]

i hate pareidolia

[vague sleet]

deck fix for straights -> play straights

[rough fog]

imagine playing tarot cards in irl poker. This would step up the game immensly

[brazen phoenix]

pareidolia is tons of fun

[thorn solstice]

and i lost because the game no give what need for cards

[stiff hull]

I played poker with tarot cards once. I got a full house and 4 people died

[lone vault]

so is the boss blind that draws all face cards down

not with pareidolia

[slim junco]

just got my first 100k million with it tho

[vague sleet]

if you lost that fast it sounds like you're playing way too quickly, slow it down think about multiple ways to get past the round

[brazen phoenix]

most runs have a boss blind that'll mess you up

[fiery flower]

poker with lucky cards 🔥

[brazen phoenix]

always buy directors cut

[lone vault]

there’s so many situations with face cards being debuffed man

[fiery flower]

twice the losses 🔥

[thorn solstice]

scholar or constellation ante 1 btw

[slim junco]

true but it worked fine af

[thorn solstice]

will get turned poly

[vague sleet]

constellation is one of my favorites

so im biased

[lone vault]

did this server turn around on pareidolia or something

[vague sleet]

and i find that with any poly joker you can get past ante 1 boss very easily

[lone vault]

pareidolia hater at day
pareidolia lover at night

[thorn solstice]

im plsying ghost deckl

[lone vault]

ante 1 and 2 are a breeze

[slim junco]

which deck would you guys consider the best of the best

[vague sleet]

ghost deck personally

[fiery flower]

in what way

[finite phoenix]

Yellow and blue

[brazen phoenix]

true ghost deck

[finite phoenix]

Are the best for winning as much as possible

[fiery flower]

for fun? for winning ante 8? for endless?

[slim junco]

winrate ante 8

[brazen phoenix]

blue deck or abandoned deck probablu

[slim junco]

in that regard

[finite phoenix]

Then yeah blue and yellow

[fiery flower]

checkered imo

[vague sleet]

checkered, yellow, and maybe red

[lone vault]

i’m shit at the game so i’ve only reached yellow, green, blue, and black

[blissful anchor]

Rate my lunch

[slim junco]

checkered is so easy tbh

[magic swan]

goodness gravy..

[blissful anchor]

Bye bye Cavendish

[glad oriole]

rip cav

[stiff hull]

There is no best deck. However, there’s candidates for best. Yellow deck is great due to interest, abandoned deck is incredible because of the IMMEDIATE deck thinning, plasma for the ABSURD numbers you can reach with good chips, and ghost because spectral cards are incredible

[magic swan]

and sock n busk

[lofty minnow]

Whats aboumz update when?

[magic swan]

should i sell sock

[fiery flower]

for invisible

[finite phoenix]

No

[thorn solstice]

idk what to do in this situation

[blissful anchor]

Sell cav

[finite phoenix]

Sock is currently 4x cav is 3x

So yeah

Sell cavendish

[fiery flower]

how exactly is Sock 4X

[finite phoenix]

Brainstorm on photo

[lofty minnow]

When update?

[vague sleet]

did you skip any?

[thorn solstice]

no

[blissful anchor]

If you sell sock buy duper too

[fiery flower]

blueprint can accomplish the same and invisible will prop that up even further. I don't think Sock is necessary

[lone vault]

reroll and hope for the best

[finite phoenix]

Oh I didn’t see the invis

[blissful anchor]

Yeah it's cav bye bye guaranteed

[magic swan]

so like, do i sell Cavendish only?

[slim junco]

ehhh constellation kinda if you arent on a rly late ante imo cuz no moni?

[magic swan]

or

[finite phoenix]

Yeah cab and sock gone

[blissful anchor]

And optimally sock

[finite phoenix]

Cav

[magic swan]

okay okay

[vague sleet]

wait how are you round 3 but ante 2 already am i missing something shouldn't it be round 4

[blissful anchor]

Selling cav is a must but sock is your call

[vague sleet]

or does it not update until you beat a blind

ive never looked at it

[thorn solstice]

theres a parishable walkie and faceless which to i take

[blissful anchor]

Personally invisible too as what ever it dupes would be a ez amazing pick up

[stiff hull]

Bull. The answer is always bull.

Bull carries runs

[vague sleet]

i personally only take econ once i can comfortably pass rounds so i would take walkie

[thorn solstice]

keep eco or buy something

[vague sleet]

what are the ups and downs to both

[slim junco]

btw this was that pareidolia run isaac

:(

[stiff hull]

Keep eco

[slim junco]

i fucked up

[stiff hull]

It’s almost always better in the long run. You’ll be fine this early

[thorn solstice]

more money gen vs somewhat helpful joker

[vague sleet]

so then once you realize that, go with the more consistent option

[thorn solstice]

i like you

i blow a kiss your way

[stiff hull]

Helpful advice? In MY balatro discord?

[vague sleet]

mb, new here

[stiff hull]

Death to you!

[slim junco]

i had yorick x14 i think + blueprint on it, pareidolia + sock n buskin and crafty

i dont remember what else i had lmao

[stiff hull]

You must only spam “red seal steel kings” here. That or photochad

[thorn solstice]

you make things easier to understand and dont tell me answers i like that

[fiery flower]

you're forgetting something.

[stiff hull]

No I think that’s it

[hoary kernel]

thanks showman

[stiff hull]

Showman. So nice, you need him twice

[agile summit]

this run has so much potential but i cant find a single red seal 😭

is it worth selling out of burnt joker for sixth sense?

high card is lvl 15 rn

[fiery flower]

burnt joker my beloved

[pseudo hearth]

thats solid

[agile summit]

i just want a red seal

[pseudo hearth]

burnt isnt giving u much value if high card is lvl 15

[agile summit]

on ghost deck too like cmon

also i havent got a single spectral pack

in 11 antes

[pseudo hearth]

wow

uh

get 6th sense

[vague sleet]

update + if anyone wants seed

[agile summit]

too late now unfortunately

just gonna have to hope for some luck

its weird

[stiff hull]

Nice nice

[agile summit]

ive had two runs now where spectral packs just havent shown up

also the other day i had a run where for some reason after ante 8, i didnt get any tarot packs

not a single tarot pack in shop in about 20 rounds

[stiff hull]

Ghost deck doesnt make spectral packs more common, they just let spectral cards appear in shop

[agile summit]

yeah but you'd think in 12 antes and no rounds skipped id get one by now

[vague sleet]

are you just looking for red seal?

[fiery flower]

standard packs have them decently often

[vague sleet]

yeah i agree

sometimes you just gotta strength your way up

[agile summit]

yooo

my first spectral pack

bit late for a red seal now considering i sold DNA to survive

shouldve sold burnt first but eh

lol i got the red seal

arghh fuck

never shouldve doubted you DNA

wait i got mime we're so back

and another deja vu lol

where was this shop 10 antes ago

[wise plaza]

DNA would have been better then the Card Sharp

[finite shadow]

Why’d you sell DNA to survive? DNA would give you X8

Eh a little less with no mime

[wise plaza]

Giving up the card sharp or burnt would have been better

[vague sleet]

he has no red seal so i think 1 extra card in hand was not worth more than 3x maybe

[wise plaza]

Its worth it for when you get the red seal

[vague sleet]

he said he did it to stay alive so i assume he couldn't afford to wait otherwise he'd die

[wise plaza]

Especially when your economy is that way and it's a rare that your chasing

[agile summit]

i continued to get so lucky with jokers

[agile summit]

got mime, nat negative photo, and steel joker

actual cinema

made it to ante 14 before forgetting to reroll boss blind lol

but wasnt gonna make it much further tbh

[coral fern]

I think I got too many trousers on

[restive swallow]

you don't even got that many legs!

[coral fern]

Even my pants need pants

[quick cypress]

Nah mate, they just live in the arctic

They gotta layer up

[coral fern]

The trouser quadruplets have successfully won

[gentle hollow]

Best build

[coral fern]

Truly a build for a winter wonderland

[gentle hollow]

Yeah

[blissful bone]

balatro

[unreal aurora]

baltro

[blissful bone]

[quiet igloo]

Yo this hand is sick

[unreal aurora]

Is that a typical S-tier build?

No offense intended

[sharp shell]

average buffoon pack off gold stake 🙏

[slim junco]

ahhh its round 2... i wanted that bloodstone! :(

[half whale]

whats best to copy here? im mainly playing full houses of kings and queens

[half whale]

worst feeling in all of balatro

[timid cedar]

Full houses with stuntman? Also running plasma like a normal deck is funny

Erosion activates after photograph btw so probably change that out for some more xmult if you can

[unreal aurora]

Question. With four fingers how does a royal flush work, I asssume JQKA?

[half whale]

i only recently unlocked plasma so i dont really know how to play it

[ornate depot]

10JQKA

[half whale]

its on +48 so

[unreal aurora]

With four fingers

[timid cedar]

Royal flush is defined as a straight flush with all ranks 10 and above, shortcut doesn’t change it

[ornate depot]

oh shit me I forgot to read the message

[timid cedar]

The +48 is after the x2 of photo, so it is significantly weaker

[ornate depot]

roffle voice : reading the question explains the question

[slim junco]

truly

[half whale]

so what should i copy thn

[ornate depot]

am I blind? I seem to be missing most the merch people mention. all I see are white shirts. no mug. no plush. no black shirts or anything

[timid cedar]

Still trio, just try and get rid of erosion for another xmult

[half whale]

alr

[tender void]

Credit card in the buffoon pack

[half whale]

just found bloodstone, worth swapping out erosion?

[timid cedar]

Are you able to consistently play hearts here?

[tender void]

How many hearts?

Show deck

I wanna see your deck

[half whale]

its average tbh

[timid cedar]

Probably not bloodstone then

[ornate depot]

how many discards/hands

[half whale]

5 hands 4 discards

[slim junco]

imagine

[ornate depot]

yeah not with showman. didn't see the fella there

[tender void]

Nah id say your deck is above average

[ornate depot]

I'd say you're too invested to 3oak gaming for that

[half whale]

so no bloodstone

[timid cedar]

The most triggers of bloodstone you can get in a single hand here (playing full houses), is 3 with rng on your side

[half whale]

thank you

[half whale]

true

[timid cedar]

What’s your base mult on your hand

[half whale]

k then next round

[tender void]

Damn

[half whale]

full house has 14 base

is steel joker good enough?

[slim junco]

why cavendish is common quality lol that thing kinda good

[timid cedar]

Hold for a sec

[sharp shell]

trio prolly

[timid cedar]

Yes, steel is better than erosion

By 7

[half whale]

alr

[timid cedar]

I just did a bit more math and it turns out that having erosion and instead copying stuntman is better than a 1.6 steel, but getting steel to 2x is better, plus more planets would make it better quicker

This is still the right path because steel is scaleable

[river vessel]

I need wheel of fortune math, it can't be 1 in 4

[timid cedar]

It’s /

[river vessel]

understandable, have a nope!

[slim junco]

what happens if you run out of cards to play or draw

u instantly lose done you

[merry dirge]

you die

[unreal aurora]

So like is it actually death, is the game taking place in an endless void where our soul is forced to play this game for eternity or is this like some kind of meta game like Pony Island where you're playing as a guy playing some casino game?

[merry dirge]

yeah it might be closer to 4 in 16

[merry dirge]

the lore of balatro is a crazy jester thats completely full of himself is forcing you to play a weird messed up version of poker because he loves watching people make big numbers. when you die you go through 1 million years of torment in 7 seconds

[river vessel]

I dunno but I wanna know the lore of why Wheel of Fortune doesn't do wheeling or fortuning

[unreal aurora]

Serious or no

[merry dirge]

its all jimbos torture fantasy

[full granite]

I think it's closer to 64 in 256

[merry dirge]

not serious. i dont think balatro has much in terms of lore

[merry dirge]

yeah thats about right

[river vessel]

Jimbo is making me see, what he sees. Endless pain, all in one little tarot card chance

[onyx sorrel]

It's like this

[merry dirge]

why do you think the glass card chances are so high despite being the same as wheel?

[wintry cove]

Gambling always comes first

[full granite]

Not all 1 in 4's are created equal. Some are more equal than others

[merry dirge]

chicot lives on in that discarded soul card

[full granite]

🐷

[river vessel]

glass card chances are not 1 in 4, in the proper sense. Neither is thy wheel

literally what Protanly js said

[merry dirge]

actually guys. isnt discard a weird word. like its literally just discard like yeah im gonna not have this card. absolute cinema

idk if thats a stupid thought

[wintry cove]

Discord isn't a weird word

[merry dirge]

would you say reddit is a weird word then

[wintry cove]

Readit is normal

[river vessel]

You say discard to tell me how many chances you have to make a better hand

I say discard to show off my shiny Canio

We are not the same

[wintry cove]

Neg canio is better

[wintry cove]

Rental canio is better

[spare kite]

is this fair?

[wintry cove]

No

[spare kite]

D:

[meager plank]

Obelisk is worse

[wintry cove]

Obelisk sucks

[unreal aurora]

The wording on it confuses the hell out of me

[meager plank]

The fact it resets sucks

[untold kayak]

Finally reaahed Ante 8

[hazy timber]

guys i just bought this game and im already addicted

literally got it an hour ago

[meager plank]

Soul is the worst tarot card never take it

[merry dirge]

it is a pretty good game man

[hazy timber]

ill keep that in mind

[merry dirge]

he is lying to you

[untold kayak]

Thats how I felt when I bought the game

[hazy timber]

i played for a bit and i lost at the 16,500 big blind 😔

[hazy timber]

oh 😭

[merry dirge]

i got super into balatro, back out of it, and now back into it while i make a texture pack for it

[hazy timber]

should i get it on mobile as well

[merry dirge]

i mean you'll understand when you see the card that it is special and actually good

[merry dirge]

if you're willing to pay an additional fee, it's great on mobile. some people prefer the mobile controls

[hazy timber]

im a big poker fan so this was right up my alley haha

[meager plank]

$139 and it’s not mine

[merry dirge]

this is what seed money + to the moon type shi gets you

[hazy timber]

yeah i might when my paycheck arrives—it'd be fun to have something to do on the go while waiting for example

[merry dirge]

definitely good for long waits my man

[hazy timber]

do y'all also play poker btw? i wonder how many people got into this bc of that

[hazy timber]

fs! time flew by

[merry dirge]

nah. no clue how to play real poker but the way the hands work is pretty simple

easy to get into regardless since its just a numbers game

[hazy timber]

texas hold em is pretty easy

[unreal aurora]

honestly poker is cake compared to balatro

[hazy timber]

wym by cake lol

[unreal aurora]

easy

[hazy timber]

ohhh. yea

[unreal aurora]

As in "easy as cake"

[hazy timber]

poker is way less complicated

[merry dirge]

all i know about poker is that new players use like computer algorithms to understand exact chances. kinda like chess nowadays

[unreal aurora]

True

[merry dirge]

who decided cake was the easiest thing ever tbh

[hazy timber]

i usually just play for fake money—i have an incredibly addictive personality and nithing good would come out of playing w money 💀

[hazy timber]

ur right it takes ages to bake a cake

[unreal aurora]

Time doesn't really mean difficulty tho

[merry dirge]

yup. definitely spent money on stuff that i literally just dont use at all in the future

[merry dirge]

making a cake is simple maybe if youre just following a recipe but it cant be the easiest task ever

why dont i just say easy as sitting on my ass all day watching TV

[hazy timber]

I’m kind of confused about one thing in Balatro though. At then end when you buy your joker cards, there’s the option to buy and use a planet card immediately. What’s the point in doing that? The chips get lost and you waste $4 as far as I can tell

[wintry cove]

You just use it immediately

[hazy timber]

Yeah but it doesn’t carry over to the next round

Like what’s the point

[wintry cove]

Usually it does carry over

Are you playing any mod or something

[hazy timber]

Not on my end. I tried it once and I started with zero chips

[hazy timber]

No just vanilla

[wintry cove]

Ask in #🕹・game-discussion

[unreal aurora]

It levels up your poker hands

[hazy timber]

Eh doesn’t rly matter maybe it’s a bug

[hazy timber]

Oh?

Like when you get the same hand you get a bonus or something?

[unreal aurora]

Yeah check out run info

[merry dirge]

planets permanently increase chips and mult of the poker hand they control

[hazy timber]

Ah I see

[merry dirge]

more difficult poker hands have planets that give more chips and mult

[hazy timber]

That makes sense now

Thanks yall

[frank sigil]

hey guys whats the best deck to beat gold stake?

[merry dirge]

also if youve seen the gros michel joker. a new joker can be obtained when it gets destroyed. just a little thing for you to look out for

[untold kayak]

Just won my first run.

[frank sigil]

nice job

[hazy timber]

ow i havent seen that one yet

[merry dirge]

probably the deck you like the most. besides that im not goated enough for advice

[hazy timber]

good job!! highest i got so far is 16,500

[unreal aurora]

It looks like a rotten banana

[merry dirge]

ah well its a common so youll find it soon. its a banana

[hazy timber]

no wins yet 😔

[merry dirge]

thats just rude, it isnt rotten really

[unreal aurora]

Oh true

[frank sigil]

bro my gros michael survived a whole game somehow 😭

[hazy timber]

an elderly banana

[unreal aurora]

Also baseball card should count rare and legendary cards too

[merry dirge]

very true actually

[frank sigil]

i did skip alot though

[merry dirge]

i dont have the game sense to know if this is balanced

[hazy timber]

damn now i wanna play some actual poker 😂

[unreal aurora]

I mean it just makes logical sense

To me at least

[hazy timber]

people always look at me weird when i say i dont play poker for money

its just fun!

[merry dirge]

i mean the public perception is that the thrill of poker is lost without the real stakes

[hazy timber]

idk losing so much money would just make me depressed

the thrill of winning is quite enough

[merry dirge]

whatever floats your boat, especially if it isn't economically unhealthy

[hazy timber]

yeah i just know id have a gambling problem

i alr have an opiate problem dont need that piled on 😬

[elfin spruce]

opinions on hiker joker ?

[frosty kiln]

Get him early... and than sell him later on

otherwise dont bother

😭

[elfin spruce]

yeah id figure that would be the best way

im at ante 2 rn so its a good place to pick up

[merry dirge]

not a joker i think about and not a joker i ever pog for in the shop

[hazy timber]

i personally love the one that gives you straights and flushes with 4 cards

[unreal aurora]

Four Fingers! Love it too

[zenith dove]

balatro am i right

[wintry cove]

What is balatro

[zenith dove]

if you figure it out lmk

[merry dirge]

i think its about uhh.. blackjack? ive heard

[unreal aurora]

This build is 🔥

[elfin spruce]

what is this jokerr 😭

[merry dirge]

it takes up a joker slot but gives you 27 dollars

also its really small and hard to find

if that counts for anything

[elfin spruce]

it says it gives +6 chips

that is all

[merry dirge]

well it does that but are we really counting that as an effect

it's -27 dollars thats the main effect

[elfin spruce]

i mean

[slim junco]

???how did you even find that

[ionic osprey]

suboptimal joker order?

[merry dirge]

random. cryptid mod video it seems

[hazy timber]

balatro might be my new fav non-rockstar game

is it indie?

[merry dirge]

wow that is all X mult

[merry dirge]

yep

[merry dirge]

that looks like brainstorm so i think you'd play lucky card hands with brainstorm on chad until the winning hand where you switch it to cat if its big enough

[slim junco]

what are yall posting omg

[hazy timber]

thats amazing, kudos to the dev(s)

[merry dirge]

localthunk is pretty cool dev

[hazy timber]

they sure are

[merry dirge]

why are you the cartomancer. may i have one tarot card per blind

[slim junco]

oh oh its modded didnt notice it

[slim junco]

me like tarot

me give u tarot

[quiet junco]

IM VERY MADGE

[slim junco]

whys it

[quiet junco]

MICHEAL DIDNT WANT AN ORANGE STICKER

[slim junco]

also whats that profile my guy

[merry dirge]

well wouldnt it only matter till gold sticker regardless

in a general sense

[slim junco]

why not some cool street fighter alex like me that me like tarot

[merry dirge]

also if you really want gold sticker michael, i think you can get a perishable one to debuff and then just lug it around for 8 antes

[untold mesa]

Swap the Lucky Cat and the Hanging Chad

[half whale]

im up against verdant leaf, what should i sell

[slim junco]

first legendary i unlocked was yorick hehehe

[half whale]

or do i just try to power through the card debuff

[timid cedar]

Probably don’t need to sell, you only lose photo to the debuff

[half whale]

i did just find a red seal glass jack that scores 8 million

[half whale]

alr

[timid cedar]

Glass won’t work here

[merry dirge]

assuming a normal hand with debuffed cards would then be 1 million i think, you should be fine

[half whale]

did it with the debuff

[timid cedar]

[merry dirge]

[slim junco]

chad

gg

[half whale]

they were scoring around 100,000 without the debuff

thanks for the help guys

[merry dirge]

oh i forgot to account for another double from red seal photograph so that makes more sense

this really s my

[meager plank]

She nopes on my wheel till I foil

[shy stirrup]

the absolute devastation in my head when i first tried to do this

[meager plank]

She triggers my lucky til I cat

[severe geode]

How do i get the tag next to the usernames some people have here

[half whale]

she photos my chad till i retrigger

[sinful cobalt]

I need plasma deck bro

I need to hear the sounds of balance

[meager plank]

She socks my face till I’m buskin

[merry dirge]

düng

was that a good imitation

[sinful cobalt]

It’s perfect

[merry dirge]

thanks

[sinful cobalt]

She raise on my fist til I mult

[meager plank]

Chicot is a scoring joker

[boreal niche]

i tried desaturating jimbo and now it just looks like droll joker lmao

but hey envy baby by kanaria

except it's balatro

[slim junco]

if i dont get cartomancer pre ante 2 i just restart

[meager plank]

She hangs till my chad retriggers

[slim junco]

do one with the cartomancer and tarot

[meager plank]

What does cartomancer do

[merry dirge]

she cartomances on my select blind till i +1 tarot

[meager plank]

👎

[merry dirge]

since when are you the authority on this template

[meager plank]

She does carts in my basement

[meager plank]

I am so sorry you’re right

[meager plank]

👍

[sinful cobalt]

Huh

[slim junco]

gives u for free a frickin tarot card each time u select a blind, aint it sick?!

i love it!

best joker ingame n can die over it

[meager plank]

She selects my blind till I tarot idk

[restive swallow]

she tarot on my blind until i death

[meager plank]

Technically if you get the very large blind boss blinds and Chicot disables them, it is helping your scoring

[slim junco]

that ones good tbh

[meager plank]

She selects my tarot till I’m blind

[slim junco]

tarot dont kill tarot inmortal!!1!11!

[sinful cobalt]

Interesting

[slim junco]

that doesnt makes sense

[meager plank]

Correct

[sinful cobalt]

She plasmas my deck till I balance

[merry dirge]

chicot assists in the vague idea of "scoring" while fighting violet vessel but does not assist in "getting a higher score" which is a more traditional take on the term

it'd be like saying mr. bones helps my scoring by not killing me

[meager plank]

She’s erratic on my deck till I beat ante 8 with 14 6’s

[slim junco]

yall just bein so freaky

[meager plank]

Let me be semantical

[restive swallow]

5x polychrome chicot

[merry dirge]

yeah chat is a bunch of freaks but it is past midnight where im at so whatcha gonna do

[sinful cobalt]

She Carto on my mancer till I hermit

[meager plank]

Hang your chad

[restive swallow]

[slim junco]

peak

[merry dirge]

but i like my chad no need to hanged man him

[meager plank]

I hope your chad doesn’t get fully removed from the ballot

[merry dirge]

[meager plank]

She nope on my wheel till I foil

[onyx sorrel]

Soul

[meager plank]

She’s spectral in my tarot off the perkeo

[merry dirge]

perkeocet

[restive swallow]

she run this joke into the ground till i balatro discord

[merry dirge]

i mean what else is there to talk about at 2 in the mornjng

[meager plank]

Is chatter on to something

[restive swallow]

tbh

it could be worse

[meager plank]

She geek on my bar in the grass

[restive swallow]

I could have insulted you all and called you redditors

you guys are at least cool

[onyx sorrel]

I am a redditor

The based one

[restive swallow]

I can tell

[merry dirge]

i am a redditor if i am to be honest with myself

[meager plank]

Sorry for the grass jump scare

[restive swallow]

I'm also a redditor

[merry dirge]

yikes! put a warning on that

[meager plank]

I use Reddit to solve my technology issues

I don’t have an account

[onyx sorrel]

Have that "day 18, which joker is the most underrated?" Posts followed

[meager plank]

The muddy underrated joker is matador

[restive swallow]

who wants to see a cat

[merry dirge]

i kinda dont like those posts but whatever keeps the fandom alive idk

[meager plank]

My cat has central heterochromia

[restive swallow]

no way homophobia ❤️

[half whale]

its 3pm for me

[brazen phoenix]

this one is true

i think matador is a crazy econ joker

[merry dirge]

we are quite opposing in this way

[meager plank]

Only in the middle tho

[restive swallow]

it's literally 8:10am idk what these fools are talkin about

[sweet mantle]

Im not sure why but that hand took a while…

[onyx sorrel]

Who you calling fools? 😡

[restive swallow]

you 😡

[meager plank]

Imagine if you negatively hung your chad

[sweet mantle]

I really dont know why

[meager plank]

????

[sweet mantle]

But its chad, photochad even!

[restive swallow]

wait don't be sad i was goofin

[onyx sorrel]

You have oil lamp.

There's no why!

[sweet mantle]

I do

[onyx sorrel]

Modding chat is down the hall to the left 😠

[sweet mantle]

Wondering how long until it crashes lmao

I meannn its also just a chat thing y’know so eh

[onyx sorrel]

I think you need the e's for it to crash cryptid

[sweet mantle]

Well… idk about that, had several crashes at low scores in past few runs, i dont know why or how tho

[onyx sorrel]

Oh well that's a normal cryptid bug crash

[sweet mantle]

Well triggering this card 2500 times now, so lets see lmao

[onyx sorrel]

If you want to crash using score it's probably making it to the e's

[onyx sorrel]

Wait do you genuinely have scoring animations on?

[sweet mantle]

I think ill crash first tbh

[sweet mantle]

Um… so you see i had the mod to turn off animations… but i accidently removed it before this run while removing other mods to stop crashing

Sooo um, yes.

[onyx sorrel]

That's 20 minutes of your time

Or even 30

[sweet mantle]

Got handy, but doesnt seem to have a skip animations

Just speed increase

Wait, couldnt i re add the mod then continue run… worth a try

[onyx sorrel]

You could prob

Idk I haven't really played cryptid

I played it for 1 hour

Then dipped

[sweet mantle]

Ye tbh i havent done much either

Ah ye so got the animations skip and ok well seems it crashed first time lmao,

So thats that time to sleep lmao

[merry dirge]

i don't really have the desire to play more cryptid. i feel like even once i 100% the game i'd rather a vanilla+ mod

[slim junco]

cryptid cryptid cryptid, is it the equivalent to calamity mod for balatro?

[merry dirge]

not really

[sweet mantle]

Its just super broken lol

[merry dirge]

in the sense cryptid is intentionally quite unbalanced

it's just very filled with content so it has the most notoriety

[slim junco]

lmfaooo

calamity is too

in the way of everything is so op

[onyx sorrel]

Atleast in calamity you have to try

[slim junco]

true

[restive swallow]

cryptid is a mod made to be unbalanced

[slim junco]

been playin calamity since 2018

[onyx sorrel]

Cryptid is just "yo do you want free 10000x mult?"

[slim junco]

XD

sounds fun fun

whats the equivalent to calamity then?

[onyx sorrel]

Calamity is "helo, I reward you this op thing... now fight this thing that makes your op weapon have a challenge"

[sweet mantle]

Calamity mod for what? There a balatro mod named. that or? Cuz i only know of the terraria mod called that lol

[onyx sorrel]

Terraria

[restive swallow]

we love mods they're fun

[sweet mantle]

Ok ye, in that case: eh, its kinda different tho since in terraria its balanced lol, everything is op, enemies and us

This is just score go big number very easily lol

[sweet mantle]

Hmmmmm so how does that work… lol

[slim junco]

that seems so unplayable tho

[sweet mantle]

Well ig since not negative it wouldnt do much?

Or is it…

[slim junco]

calamity is the most popular and loved mod in terraria

so i was askin like

the equivalent in balatro

[sweet mantle]

Yeah figuerd but wasnt sure lol

I do enjoy modded terraria

Not played it in ages tho

[merry dirge]

cryptid challenge comes from not crashing the game past ante 8

[slim junco]

you are kidding thats the whole idea about it

its

genius actually??

original af

[zinc shore]

Ey

Guysss

This good or sum

[merry dirge]

hello freaky fellow

[ionic osprey]

WHO NEEDS JOKERS

[zinc shore]

😈🙏

[zinc shore]

This good

Like the setup

[merry dirge]

technically hologram doesnt like throwback here because you'll get less card packs, and because you want to find a joker that makes more cards like marble joker or dna in the shop as well

and skipping blinds isnt too good if you dont have to

[zinc shore]

Ok thank smart fella

🙏

[elfin tapir]

also hi

[merry dirge]

youre a bit far in but in general here id pivot to get more face cards, maybe remove droll joker for juggler and use those standard packs

but also get money somehow you are a bit broke

[zinc shore]

Ok boi

😈🙏

[merry dirge]

i wish you luck freakmeister

[slim junco]

best thing my eyes have seen today

[slim junco]

gg

[zinc shore]

Hell yea yippe

[merry dirge]

weird to see that many blue seals since usually red seals are getting copied in bulk

it looks really visually pleasing

[dry briar]

[merry dirge]

blue

we need a brainstorm emote for our blueprint

[ionic osprey]

i cant find a king with red seal in the standard pack lol

[merry dirge]

its okay you got there in the end

[dry briar]

theres no brainstorm emote?

[merry dirge]

[dry briar]

irs tru

[zinc shore]

[zinc shore]

Yea i think

[marble coral]

Yeah, you can do it

I have balatro on gamepass and on steam, and the gamepass balatro on my pc has same save as balatro on my xbox

[merry dirge]

i have it apple arcade and on steam

i dont think i can transfer

[novel turret]

Is there a way to mod balatro on mobile?

[merry dirge]

probably not in any way convenient

[novel turret]

(I've bought balatro twice now and if the answer is no I will buy it on steam just for mods)

[lament quest]

unless you wanna prettty much mod ur entire phone

[novel turret]

Zamn alright

[merry dirge]

well ive got a mod coming out soon

[novel turret]

That's awesome, have you teased or talked about what your mod would be adding?

[lament quest]

Yyooooo

Cool

[merry dirge]

it's in the art channel if you scroll up a bit

[novel turret]

Fanart?

[merry dirge]

texture pack that changes jokers, consumables, vouchers, decks, as well as adding flavor text and editing text when applicable

maybe a bit more i forget

[lament quest]

Yooooo

Send

[novel turret]

HAH depressed jokers

[lament quest]

Trust

Adolf...?

[merry dirge]

it is kinda funny

[restive swallow]

no

not at all

[onyx sorrel]

Out of any people, you pick adolf 😭

[slim junco]

but thats most likely because its a local save file

not because they are connected

is it

[vernal tartan]

No that’s lebron James

[slim junco]

love the potato from pvz haha pretty good job!

[merry dirge]

thank you discord user cartomancer lover

[slim junco]

[finite river]

Most useful yorick 😭😭😭

[slim junco]

[hoary ledge]

[restive swallow]

So close!

You'll get em next time

[primal helm]

HI

[hoary ledge]

my banana died the hand before that

i did not have any mult joker 💀

[restive swallow]

I'm too old to understand this image

[lament quest]

Lamp

[restive swallow]

Oh I get it now I understand

[lament quest]

Bro is lamping it?

[restive swallow]

That depends

What does that mean

[merry dirge]

there is this cool series yknow. if undertale was realistic

and sans yknow. he says absolute lamp in one of the episodes

it is a spin off of the absolute cinema meme

[lament quest]

This guy gets it

[merry dirge]

meant to convey some sort of ultimate feat

[lament quest]

Me frfr

You frfr

Us frfr

[restive swallow]

Alright buddy we get it

Lamp or smth

[lament quest]

Me at bros enlightening

[merry dirge]

i think this qualifies as image spam to be frank with you

but either way i am in need of rest and will likely sleep now

it is almost 4 am

and i have school yikes

[lament quest]

It's 8pm for me

Funky

[rich pawn]

Wil discovering a joker make it appear more often?

[lament quest]

It will make the name appear

But if it's like seeing double they can't appear before unlock

[rich pawn]

[worldly thistle]

This server should have one of those new tags that goes beside the discord name called Jimbo

[warm mist]

jwdhhxhaisbdgsa

[warm mica]

n word

[brisk zinc]

2 of my favorite card designs i think

[restive swallow]

I love the sideeye of blueprint

[brisk zinc]

same

[thin gull]

wild ass jokers

[small hemlock]

Good morning!

I just joined

[half whale]

my favorite joker art is vagabond

and yet its one of the worst jokers in the game

[hoary drift]

balatros dias

[small hemlock]

I just finished a run

[hoary drift]

same

[brisk zinc]

i just got a nice run going

[small hemlock]

I started playing a week ago

[brisk zinc]

don't do it to me plant

[small hemlock]

I'm loving this game man
It was free on PlayStation plus so i got it

Ended up liking it too much, bought the game on mobile lol

[hoary drift]

whats the 4th joker

[hoary drift]

wow

[brisk zinc]

brainstorm

kinda like blueprint but it copies the leftmost card

so in this case hanging chad

[hoary drift]

i lost this really good run i had with blueprint

💔💔

[brisk zinc]

i always get blueprint and brainstorm when the rest of the run sucks 💔

[hoary drift]

leftmost is ballot

[brisk zinc]

on good runs i never get them

[thin gull]

no steam?

[brisk zinc]

yea but its name is hanging chad

[hoary drift]

what

[small hemlock]

Nope :((

[brisk zinc]

hanging chad

[hoary drift]

wow i never knew wth

[half whale]

yeah i called it the ballot for a long time

[small hemlock]

Also, is the checkered deck the best to unlock the "win a run without playing a two pair"?

[kind spoke]

[half whale]

i mean i guess but i dont think its that hard to win a run without playing two pair

[brisk zinc]

checkered is probably the easiest for unlocking brainstorm at least

[small hemlock]

I always default to use it..

[half whale]

i did for a long time as well, try to maybe go for full houses instead

or flushes

[small hemlock]

I sent this to my gf the other day
"Whenever i win runs, why is it always you two"

[half whale]

cause as we all know playing any hand other than flush is a total mistake. full house is ok

[slim junco]

my woman scolded me because i stayed up playing balatro yesterday but i did it today anyways

[small hemlock]

Got it
Pray that i don't get spades or hearts debuffed :'))

I'm still getting used to the names of the things

[hoary drift]

two legendaries and the pillar decided to rpe me

[half whale]

evil and menacing splash:

[small hemlock]

Why are two jokers with different backgrounds? The 2nd and the 5th

[half whale]

legendaries

[small hemlock]

Ooooh, i see
I didn't unlock them yet i think

[hoary drift]

you get them from soul spectral

[half whale]

yeah theyre the ones with question marks

[hoary drift]

the soul 😝😝😝😝

[half whale]

on the unlock requirement

souls have an 0.3% chance of spawning in arcana and spectral packs per card

at least i think thats how it works correct me if im wrong

[small hemlock]

I see
I don't use spectral packs as much
I don't know how to use them effectively

[slim junco]

speakin of legendaries, only way to get em is through spectral?

[small hemlock]

So i just stay away from them rn

[half whale]

soul

[hoary drift]

spectral packs are the best

[slim junco]

rip

[slim junco]

NUH UH

[half whale]

always take spectrals

[slim junco]

tarot are

[hoary drift]

nuh uh

[brisk zinc]

i always open spectrals but often skip

[slim junco]

spectrals are either trol picks or completely over powered

tarot are all of em

perfect

[brisk zinc]

i once won a run solely because of an early spectral

also they can have soul cards too

[small hemlock]

Man, your banner gives me ptsd
I had 4 wheels back to back in a run, all of which gave me the nope 😔

[slim junco]

fit every kind of situation no matter what

spectrals are specific

[worldly marsh]

aint too late to go to bed

[slim junco]

it is

[worldly marsh]

(unless youre having sleep troubles in which case communicate that)

[worldly marsh]

real

[slim junco]

you got tricked! if cartomancer wasnt a thing id be wheel lover!

[small hemlock]

[brisk zinc]

my body is a machine that turns into

[slim junco]

gg mundo vs gnar matchup wish me luck against this cancer gameplay

[small hemlock]

I'm still struggling a bit with the names
What does the cartomancer do?

[slim junco]

every time one pops up i call my brother to show him

[brisk zinc]

chat do we take these

i'm still afraid of seeing the plant on ante 7

no reroll voucher

[hoary drift]

if you have the face card perk joker then yes

[small hemlock]

"All face cards are drawn face down"

[brisk zinc]

that wouldn't be as bad as plant tbh

[hoary drift]

no lol it doesn't apply

[slim junco]

@small hemlock

[brisk zinc]

brainstorm photochad goes hard

[slim junco]

thats what it does!

[hoary drift]

what does the plant do again

[small hemlock]

Oh! I know now! I use the other one, 1 in 2 chances to do that when i buy a booster

[brisk zinc]

i did not get the plant on ante 7

thank you jimbo

[small hemlock]

Also, i have a question
Aside from the obvious, what does this do? (Or rather, doesn't do)

Or do i need to buy it to be able to buy the voucher on the right?

[elfin tapir]

yeah it only exists to buy the 2nd voucher

it does nothing else otherwise

[small hemlock]

So it does something 🤭

Misleading text, unplayable, fix please

[elfin tapir]

yeah

[small hemlock]

So, I'm assuming you need to buy the left voucher so that the right one becomes available in the run, is that right?

[long basalt]

How do I get the mod for pvp

And ranked

[hoary drift]

it does nothing

or does it?

[brisk zinc]

disables all face cards

told ya photochad goes hard

[hoary drift]

[brisk zinc]

dude if i find a blueprint on this run it's over for jimbo

[long basalt]

Can I ask how to get the mod for pvp in Balatro?

[brisk zinc]

#⚙・modding-general probably

[small hemlock]

Friend send me this 💀

[elfin tapir]

i am speechless

i hate obelisk even more

[brisk zinc]

not a fan of obelisk either

chat is it over for me

guess i'll brainstorm the mime and hope the steels are enough

[small hemlock]

Steel is 1.5x when in hand, yeah?

[brisk zinc]

yea

and mime retriggers it

and brainstorm retriggers the mime

here goes nothing

i lost gg

[small hemlock]

So it's 1.5^10?

[brisk zinc]

fuck plant all my homies hate plant

time to finally try blue stake

[hoary drift]

obelisk is so bad

[small hemlock]

It resets when you play your most played hand, yeah?

[hoary drift]

yeah

[small hemlock]

Yeah, the only reason I'd take that would be if it was polychrome

[brisk zinc]

i already hate this

[pallid hawk]

this game loves me

[small hemlock]

Banana, my beloved

[brisk zinc]

love how the bananas are historically accurate

[slim junco]

just wait to see cavendish lmao

[dull valve]

this guy sucks ass im glad i got his sticker

[pallid hawk]

time to pivot

[small hemlock]

0.01% to kill itself but it's a unconditional 3x right?

[slim junco]

yes

aint it

peak?!

[brisk zinc]

i probably have a better chance at beating green stake on every deck before beating blue once

[agile pawn]

i lov cavendish

[small hemlock]

Pants, throwback and Cavendish sounds like the dream

[slim junco]

pants are ok too

[pallid hawk]

it's time

[slim junco]

i like simple hands

[small hemlock]

I'm a two pair girl so

[slim junco]

my dream is

to have a run

on high card only

from round 0 to ante 8

that'd so funi

[brisk zinc]

i mean you can get naneinf with high card so

early game is probably rough tho

[small hemlock]

I kinda did that in the clip i sent earlier xD

[pallid hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As_ZnoknRuA

[slim junco]

ya i havent figured out how would i do so

[slim junco]

imagine

[slim junco]

genius

[small hemlock]

Is it cheating if you do high hand, but use Splash?

[slim junco]

i mean

no

[pallid hawk]

no, it still counts as a high card play

[slim junco]

its high card

but

imagine

just winning

with exclusively

high card

thatd so funi

like only 1

from 0 to start

splash hc aint technically cheating but...

whats the joke :(

[small hemlock]

Okay, imma try to unlock the two pair joker

[pallid hawk]

the video i sent doesnt use splash at any point

[slim junco]

but does it throw 4 to get rid of a bad hand
