[brisk zinc]

me when i accidentally click reroll instead of next round (i had $6 moners)

[frank sinew]

oh wow pretty

[meager plank]

Now you have 1!

[frank sinew]

i have a lot of costume jewelry

[meager plank]

What is costume jewelry

[frank sinew]

god i hate doing that

Costume jewelry is like, stuff that is meant to look real but is fake

[meager plank]

So basically fashion jewelry

[frank sinew]

yeah

[meager plank]

I assume it’s usually more custom

[frank sinew]

i’m goth so part of the style is wearing as much stuff as possible

[meager plank]

I like the rings

[frank sinew]

if i was wearing actual pearls or jewels. lol

yeah i have a lot

[meager plank]

I do not have a ring I can wear

[frank sinew]

i prefer leather tho

[meager plank]

Not one

[frank sinew]

i have some but idk i’ve broken a lot lol

[meager plank]

I have a lot of fake pearls from previous family members

Real pearls are so much better looking but not worth the price

You can’t tell if it’s fake without knowing what real looks like very well

[frank sinew]

estate sales are worth looking into

[meager plank]

I live by a bunch of old dying people so good idea

My neighborhood is basically a retirement home at this point

[frank sinew]

that sounds so cursed out of context

[meager plank]

I don’t think it exactly sounds great with context

[frank sinew]

lmao true

[young bolt]

Fart

[meager plank]

Issue is since it’s mostly old people there isn’t much men’s jewelry

Since yk men’s jewelry consisted of exclusively watches and weddings rings for a while

[frank sinew]

yeah i get u

[meager plank]

My trick is weird

[brisk zinc]

crazy hand to get without using any discards

haven't even done any deckfixing

[frank sinew]

well at least you can buy someone’s entire precious moments collection for 10 bucks or whatever

[meager plank]

I go for moissanite jewelry and then I can ask a jeweler to put the gems on something else

I love the flares of moissanite

One of the ones I bought for like $15

Those gonna look nice on something else lmao

[frank sinew]

ooh nice

[verbal sky]

hi balatrines

[brisk zinc]

hi gros michael

[meager plank]

If you know local private jewelers and you don’t care for the original piece or the fact someone probably cried when they received it you can disassemble the original and put it on something else for surprisingly cheap

[meager plank]

I always buy you ante 1-2

[frank sinew]

Eh i’m too broke for that lol i just buy shit at craft markets

[meager plank]

One time I sold chicot for you

[frank sinew]

or antique stores

i reset a run while having chicot the other day

it was gold stake too

i do not like him

[meager plank]

Fair enough, if you want a really nice piece for something fancy it costs like 500-1000 to see the stones so it’s not too horrible

[frank sinew]

brother you need to help me in the small blind not the boss one lol

[meager plank]

I had this run and I got chicot

[frank sinew]

ngl if i sold like my brainstorm and got chicot instead id save scum

[meager plank]

I sold photo

[frank sinew]

Still save scum

that is a direct downgrade

[meager plank]

I just sold chicot and bought Michael

And then rerolled again and bought photo

[frank sinew]

only would want trib or yorick there

[meager plank]

Canio works without photo being there

[frank sinew]

yeah but synergy lol

you don’t have to reroll for a replacement

[meager plank]

At the end of the day it was a photochad run

Doomed to fail ante 13

[frank sinew]

idk if you have constellation i’m usually prioritizing planets

yeah true

more like ante 10 for me

[meager plank]

I don’t like photochad for anything but clearing new stakes after a drought

[frank sinew]

laughs nervously

[meager plank]

So much Michael but no cavendish

[frank sinew]

Because he never fucking breaks

Literally i have the worst luck

[stuck hull]

@meager plank it's happening

[meager plank]

I had 2 perishable Michaels that broke round 1 one time

[frank sinew]

the only time he breaks it’s like the first round i get him i actually need him

i have the michael curse i swear

[meager plank]

We honestly have very similar jokers

We just obviously have our preferences

[frank sinew]

i’ve been playing slay the spire more the past few days

[frank sinew]

ancient is one of my favorites i just can’t reliably find it

[meager plank]

Rebate would be higher but I’ve been playing a lot of gold stake

2 discards is not great with rebate

[frank sinew]

the rebate card or the purple seal always shows up when ur out of discards lol

[meager plank]

I hate ancient it never gives me what I need, I just love saying “she hangs on my chad til I’m ancient”

[frank sinew]

i love ancient but i also have like 900-1000 jupiter cards in my stats

guess what my first gold stake deck was lol

[meager plank]

I like how we have an early game +mult common in the same spot

I’m stupid

I was looking at my screenshot and my actual screen

[frank sinew]

my highest score ever was a dual ancient bloodstone combo

[meager plank]

My highest score was 3 blueprints and a brainstorm copying photo and negative chad

e17

[meager plank]

I have 700 Jupiter, it’s not that I like flushes it’s just that I get bloodstone and photochad so often

[frank sinew]

if ancient ever gets nerfed somehow which i dont think it can but still im going to cry myself to sleep every night

[stuck hull]

i dont remember what i did

[meager plank]

Woah

[frank sinew]

i’ve never broken e

my next goal

[meager plank]

:(

I think I’ve gotten it 5 or 6 times

[frank sinew]

not that i haven’t tried lol

[meager plank]

But I’ve only gotten to e15 3 times

[frank sinew]

i was probably like one or 2 exponents away

[meager plank]

I never get it when I’m trying to score high

[stuck hull]

i'm gonna assume this was in the same run

[frank sinew]

i remember trying to go for a baron run and getting 2 constellations instead

[meager plank]

Can you adopt me

[frank sinew]

this was the last run i had lol

[stuck hull]

u r an obilisk hater we are already fam ❤️

[frank sinew]

i unlocked satellite here the last joker i needed, once i purchase all of them i’ll have unlocked every one

[meager plank]

You have enough Balatro money for my entire prom suit and jewelry

[meager plank]

The last joker I needed was hit the road and I regret unlocking it

[stuck hull]

yk what they call me

medinstead

[frank sinew]

can you tell i was trying to pivot out

don’t try to pivot out when you have 39 levels in pluto

[rich pawn]

Should I take ankh for wee joker?

[meager plank]

No I don’t understand other people’s runs because it takes me too long to register so I give up

[frank sinew]

always increase your wee size

it is always the optimal play

sorry i’m joking idk

[meager plank]

I’ve never had a big wee

[frank sinew]

me neither 😔

[meager plank]

It might work

[stuck hull]

yes

[rich pawn]

I mean I will have way more chips but I also want to scale the joker

[frank sinew]

i had like 18 queens in my deck or something

lmao

[meager plank]

I like the guy holding a gun to me like it’s a threat

Flush of wild cards

[frank sinew]

i understood why ppl liked baron so much with that run because shoot the moon was a blast

ik it was gonna fall off hard but i was zooming

[meager plank]

I like shoot the moon more than baron

Hot take

[frank sinew]

mime is so satisfying

I feel like shoot the moon is like a prep joker

it’s a easy way to pivot into it

[meager plank]

I use shoot the moon early game

I never use mime because I never have good deck fixing

[frank sinew]

you grab it and start stockpiling either a tarot joker or cards

that’s what i was trying to do

well actually i was trying to get to 400 dollars after that i was trying to roll into what i needed

the idol was a bonus

i couldn’t get the hand levels tho

[meager plank]

Have you ever played a flush of only wild cards

[frank sinew]

no lol

that doesn’t unlock anything tho

[meager plank]

I feel like that would be a cool way to unlock a wild card based joker

[frank sinew]

yeah

[meager plank]

Or just ancient joker

[frank sinew]

imagine if you had to unlock something like flower pot or whatever on that

[meager plank]

I never use flower pot

[frank sinew]

congrats on doing one of the hardest base tasks in the game have the worst joker in the game as the reward

[meager plank]

Obelisk

[frank sinew]

Hot take

flower pot is worse

obelisk you get value out of for at least 3 hands or so

[meager plank]

I feel as though red deck would be good for wild flush

[frank sinew]

flower pot most times is actively throwing

it only rlly works w splash lol

[stuck hull]

achievement

[meager plank]

Why am I thinking of strategies for a made up way to unlock a joker I already have

[frank sinew]

if you need wild cards to work with something like that for that low of a benefit it’s not good

[frank sinew]

lol

[meager plank]

Woah

[frank sinew]

like there’s already a counterpart to it seeing double and that works better because you just need one wild card

[plain bobcat]

where can i post memes i gotta show my balatro meme

[meager plank]

I don’t understand dusk hype, I don’t usually make it down to 1 hand left

[frank sinew]

x2 mult isn’t as good but easier to achieve

throwaway hands

[stuck hull]

first shop
it's a sign

[frank sinew]

My message got blocked? weird

anyways

it’s incredibly powerful late game but you’re throwing econ down the drain and you can fuck up the hand easy and you need to commit to one hand usually

it also ruins telescope

[rich pawn]

Run will end this blind but great wee joker

[frank sinew]

you can achieve the same effects of playing a flush five of hackable / sockbuskin cards

[split torrent]

you fools believed you could discuss the obelisk without me noticing

[frank sinew]

lol

i do not hate it as hard as he does

i just don’t like having to check my stats screen every 5 seconds

[split torrent]

this is why you put a chip in your brain that keeps track of that stuff for you like i did

[heavy wing]

obelisk is fun

[tardy cloud]

Oh no! You only have 1 joker slot and 3 jokers and you need to get all 3 to the shop before the player visit it!

If you leave Burglar with shortcut, he'll run away

And if you leave shortcut with Ride The Bus, the bus will crash

How will you take all 3 jokers to the shop ?

[sharp igloo]

Rocks :3

[calm saddle]

what if i take shortcut

then

no nvm

[frank sinew]

evil and intimidating roffle

[spice grove]

What do i sacrifice here

chad?

I think having 3 mimes is funny

[pastel pendant]

Yeah, ditch chad

Having 2 Shoot the moons gives the +mult but keeps the poly mimes to the right, where ×Mult Jokers are most effective

[spice grove]

Found a way to ruin the run by doing 3 mimes 🤣🤣

[viscid quiver]

bell is annoying af

[thorny plaza]

Anyone wanna join my java Minecraft server/SMP DM me

[echo surge]

also violet vessel

[royal wharf]

[brisk zinc]

well this is quite nice

3oak build lmao

well there goes my astronomer ☹️

it got my constellation to 4.2x mult

[deft merlin]

I mean after 1 hand and the jokers effects get played you can figure out what is what

[cold merlin]

Wee finally got myself 12th deck... Black was a torture... I would take Plasma over it anytime...

Also got a gold sticker onto Riff Raff which is nice

[brisk zinc]

i don't like plasma that much tbh

maybe because idk how to play it

[cold merlin]

Yeah I wing it all the time... And Plasma is very easy to just wing it

I suppose people who prefer to do known strategies won't like plasma as much

Black deck though... one less hand is brutal on gold stake

[brisk zinc]

i wouldn't say i like or prefer known strats but the plasma deck is just so different and i played like 40 hours on "normal" decks before unlocking it so it feels like relearning the whole game

[cold merlin]

Ah I mean you will get a hang of it

[warm pier]

Thats why it's goofy

[brisk zinc]

maybe i'll just have to play more of it

[cold merlin]

Just play more balatro... I mean I did plasma deck to gold stake after completing all the challenges... as a new player, yeah it is a bit intimidating

[brisk zinc]

i can't possibly play more than i already do lmao

i'll just have to play that deck in particular more often

[cold merlin]

I didn't mean "play more per day" I meant just keep playing and you will get better

[brisk zinc]

yeye i get u

[cold merlin]

Nebula, Painted and Anaglyph left for me for C+

[odd epoch]

Howdy! i wanna ask if i could yall opinions on dna, recently i got pack bc i said it was not as good some people think so i wanna know if im only dumb for thinking that

[brisk zinc]

dna is very good

[stuck hull]

4

[cold merlin]

DNA is insane, in a right deck...

[brisk zinc]

but not the most useful in every build yea

in some strats it's almost necessary

[sly ridge]

dna is great if you have a card worth copying, otherwise it may add bloat and make new better cards harder to deckfix for

[brisk zinc]

especially if you get it early game it's super good for deckfixing

[cold merlin]

Basically DNA is good when you need to make your deck only copies of 1 card... which is advanced play

[brisk zinc]

the funny 3oak run

1337 when you see it

i can get ante 13 pretty consistently now which is cool because i thought i'd never get that far even once lol

[brisk zinc]

you will get perkeo and chicot

and the one you don't take is trib

[turbid ermine]

It was caino and Chicot

[brisk zinc]

could be worse

[turbid ermine]

Fair

[odd epoch]

the soul you didnt pick up was perkeo trust me

[brisk zinc]

speaking of soul cards

it's either chad or brainstorm

the order is so good with eternal shortcut

i don't want to sell either ☹️

[odd epoch]

i mean

hear me out

[cold merlin]

I mean it is fine to skip the soul sometimes

[odd epoch]

that

[cold merlin]

half of them suck anyway

[odd epoch]

i was about to say that

[brisk zinc]

but like

[odd epoch]

is 1 in 5 to get perkeo

[brisk zinc]

20% chance it's trib

it hurts but i guess i'll skip it this time

[cold merlin]

Trib on Ante 4?

[odd epoch]

and then you sell it bc you dont have nothing to copy, then is chicot and you close the game

[brisk zinc]

even if it is trib i'll probably get the plant lol

welp i skipped it lol

[cold merlin]

Trib is like you get it and need to multiple kings and queens...

[brisk zinc]

well yea but with chad and buskin even 1 or 2 kings can get big mults

[odd epoch]

but what if you dont get it

[brisk zinc]

i'm gonna lose ante 6 anyway watch

[cold merlin]

Like on Ante 1-2 or if you have a disposable joker Soul is fine, but if you already have a build Soul is like meh

it is just no matter what you sell there it will break your build, so not worth

[brisk zinc]

good point

i desperately need xmult now tbh

[dire seal]

How does that even happen 😭

[sly ridge]

guys ive done it

[dire seal]

Ooh nice

[odd epoch]

no way, you are the balatro

[sly ridge]

maybe a wee bit

[odd epoch]

bro IS balatro balatrez

[drifting jackal]

i saw his wee

its not even wee at this point

[sly ridge]

previous record was e97 and it just jumped to naneinf this run

crazy things

[brisk zinc]

yea i'm not touching purple stake until the update

[odd epoch]

bro make wee upgrate with A's

[brisk zinc]

this shit is so ass

[odd epoch]

soldier jumpscare

[odd epoch]

im so close to get gold stake on red deck

[brisk zinc]

i'll beat black stake jokerless on every deck before i can do purple once

[drifting jackal]

i am elon musk

[odd epoch]

alr go the 2 free ones

[wheat iron]

i need a little help

[dire seal]

I forget which effect purple stake had

[stuck hull]

sell cavendish

[stuck hull]

also copy photo

[brisk zinc]

just faster ante scaling

[dire seal]

Ah right

[brisk zinc]

the worst thing is blue

i beat blue once and purple is just that but even worse

[wheat iron]

thx

[sly ridge]

blue isnt so bad when you accept the fact that sometimes you have to give up a hand to find your hand

[brisk zinc]

oh i know that

[dire seal]

I've beaten gold
But only on checkered

[brisk zinc]

it is so bad

[sly ridge]

and playing pairs is the go to for consistent gold wins

[uneven edge]

bye bye cav

[odd epoch]

ts so ass

2669, nice,

[stuck hull]

what's wrong with it

[odd epoch]

uhmm, i thing nothing really

im a jimbo gamer

[stuck hull]

this is crazy

[odd epoch]

JIMBO IS KEY I PROMESE

PEOPLE SAY LIKE JIMBO IS A MEME BUT IS GOOD I PROMESE

[stuck hull]

that's just crazy

[odd epoch]

GOLD STAKE JIMBO

SOON

[sly ridge]

glad im not the only one with awful banana luck

[drifting jackal]

hear me out

[odd epoch]

also i use brainstrom

bc sometimes i just wanna meme

[brisk zinc]

why perkeo in there ☠️

[lavish zenith]

why is brainstorm higher than blueprint for you

[brisk zinc]

photochad main

[drifting jackal]

photochad enthusiast

[odd epoch]

we all have chad in top 3 to top 1

[drifting jackal]

man i love ghost deck

[odd epoch]

just give me the money

[stuck hull]

money money money

[odd epoch]

MONEY, KILL, MONEY

[drifting jackal]

"Ho-ho, mighty money!"

[odd epoch]

i love big hands

[brisk zinc]

how do i make my bp and bs look like dat

[stuck hull]

you gotta love them more

[brisk zinc]

HOW do i calculate my hand score in plasma deck

this is why i don't like plasma

needle is impossible

i have no idea if this is enough and idk how to calculate it

[drifting jackal]

((Chips+Mult)/2)^2

[dusky oasis]

Only one way to find out

Send it

[brisk zinc]

thats true

[odd epoch]

just ship it

[brisk zinc]

thank you for an actual answer

[odd epoch]

is not that deep

[brisk zinc]

yea but i'd like to know for future anyway

[odd epoch]

plasma is just a chill deck

[stuck hull]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1332731481604489237

[odd epoch]

so cool

[brisk zinc]

i man i have the dusk so it can't not be enough

[drifting jackal]

use excel 🫠

[brisk zinc]

thank you

[odd epoch]

I am the daughter of brainstrom and blueprint

trust

[brisk zinc]

i thought they're gay

[odd epoch]

they're

woke cards

in my card game

[cold merlin]

Nope Needle is super easy with Plasma... you need to just get bunch of jokers that give you +100 chips or something, and easy win

[brisk zinc]

i meant it's impossible because i don't know how to calculate the score so it feels like rng

now i know the formula tho

[odd epoch]

Nope? say that again...

[brisk zinc]

[odd epoch]

Again? say that

[wintry flint]

I solved my addiction to twitter by changing where it is on my home screen so whenever my muscle memory tries to open it i open balatro instead

[cold merlin]

oh that is why you were bad at plasma... yeah there you need to just maximize the sum of chips and mult... in any way possible

[sly ridge]

demon core

[drifting jackal]

very high card

[brisk zinc]

i solved my addiction to balatro by just kidding no i didn't

[cold merlin]

just a little bit of leveling

[odd epoch]

THE card

[drifting jackal]

imagine how much of plutonium the man ate and how bright he is shining

[brisk zinc]

sounds simple enough

[cold merlin]

Actually once the only achievement left for me were C+ and C++ I kinda stopped being addicted, now I just play from time to time, to get a few more stickers

[drifting jackal]

early chips are very great, later on you need Xmult in order to scale

[brisk zinc]

i'm nowhere near that yet

[drifting jackal]

like a single stuntman can provide free 1-4 ante

[brisk zinc]

i'm getting 300k hands on ante 5 rn so i think i'll be fine

[cold merlin]

Yeah plasma is like start with + chips jokers and try to switch into bunch of xmult in late game

[drifting jackal]

exactly

[cold merlin]

though

not always

[verbal birch]

Oops, all Xmult

[cold merlin]

just getting +700 chips is enough to beat Ante 8

+700 chips you need only for violet vessel really, for other ones you need even less

[drifting jackal]

hands levels is the key for that

[cold merlin]

yep

but I mean you can get there through jokers too

[brisk bone]

beat gold stake for the first time

[cold merlin]

the ones that scale chips

[drifting jackal]

gg

[cold merlin]

grats... which deck?

[lime mist]

who needs chips when you have maximum mult

[brisk bone]

Ghost

and tyy

[cold merlin]

I see

my first one was Checkered

[drifting jackal]

ghost deck enjoyer

[cold merlin]

I really love Checkered

[drifting jackal]

🤝

[cold merlin]

Flush builds are my favorite

[brisk bone]

checkered was the one i used to use the most

but thrn i went towards ghost

[brisk zinc]

checkered is cool but i always feel obligated to go for a flush build which can get boring

[brisk bone]

i always go flush either way

[brisk zinc]

i say this while doing photochad every other run

[brisk bone]

literally just had photo chad

[cold merlin]

I almost never do chad

[brisk bone]

this gold stake run

[cold merlin]

or photo

[brisk bone]

lmao

[cold merlin]

But yeah I do flush builds even on not checkered

[brisk bone]

i do flush 99% of the time

and build towards flush 5

[cold merlin]

Yeah I did that before... but lately I prefer high card or pair builds

[brisk bone]

high card is good too

[cold merlin]

Like today I did black deck with pair build

[drifting jackal]

i dare you to play straight flush

[cold merlin]

I did that once...

I had Four Fingers and Shortcut

[brisk zinc]

royal flush focused build

[cold merlin]

straight flushes are really easy with four fingers + shortcut

[brisk bone]

my favorite decks are ghost n plasma

[cold merlin]

because your 5th card can be of different suit to finish straight and it still counts as straight flush

[brisk zinc]

i noticed that the other day

kinda cool

[drifting jackal]

i just made my deck of A, K, Q and J of single suit

iirc hearts

[brisk zinc]

i may have fucked up

didn't notice violet vessel is 600k instead of 300k because plasma deck

[cold merlin]

Oh yes... plasma double the points

[brisk zinc]

i knew that but completely forgot about it lol

wait i have the dusk still

there is hope

[slate fog]

at which hour did you guys win your first run?

[vernal tartan]

I have never seen a rflush run in the wild before

[slate fog]

like hour of play

[brisk zinc]

cmon be fr

[brisk bone]

dude 2 times in a row when i tried to beat balatro in 12 rounds for the unlock i got violet vessel

costing me tje run

[brisk zinc]

do i just play the level 1 ace pair and hope for the best

i have the justice for xmult but i don't think it's enough

[toxic gulch]

w

[uneven edge]

use the justice

[brisk zinc]

yea ofc

[red narwhal]

If I turn a heart or diamond into a wild card will it still be okay to have in hand with black board?

[brisk zinc]

yes

[red narwhal]

Thanky

[uneven edge]

what level is pair or high card

[brisk zinc]

both level 1 lmao ☹️

i had like

no celestial packs this run

[uneven edge]

yikes

[brisk zinc]

unlucky

[uneven edge]

justice that king

[brisk bone]

turn ace into glass and make sure to copy tne chad

[uneven edge]

and tbh copy the chad

since its goas

glass

[brisk bone]

or tbat

[brisk zinc]

yea

here goes nothing

[brisk bone]

actually yeah king high card

[brisk zinc]

nope

[brisk bone]

rip

[brisk zinc]

well now i can install the yuri bs bp mod

[brisk bone]

[brisk zinc]

linux racism?!?!

does the mac x86 work on linucks

both are unix based so maybe maybe not

[brisk bone]

imo eternal sticker should shield jokers from being debuffed by blinds

[dry briar]

brotha

should i

[trail cairn]

always take the speculative baron

trust

[dry briar]

😭

lets see

how

[trail cairn]

lol

[dry briar]

shouldnt have taken it

😭

[gusty gorge]

Be me
Have no drumming experience
Plays rock band for the first time

[muted crystal]

Got a PS5 just so I could play balatro

[solemn junco]

me when my balatro just shows a black screen on my computer

[muted crystal]

Is the screen turned on?

[slate fog]

the boss blind made me do 44,000 chips when i was doing like 15,000 the last blinds

i lost

[dry briar]

not prepared for the wall

[slate fog]

Nope :((

Man I never won a run yet

[brisk zinc]

best mod of all tiem

[dense jasper]

jimbo is cuter

[chrome spoke]

Omen glove is the best voucher tbh

[tepid sonnet]

telescope is so much better

[chrome spoke]

Nake 1 way

Name

[tepid sonnet]

if youre tryna do any run with that hand

boom

you have that planet card

[chrome spoke]

Obelisk runs:

[tepid sonnet]

or if its a baron mime run and you want pouto

pluto

[tepid sonnet]

well obelisk sucks anyway

[chrome spoke]

@verbal nest @split torrent @steady badge

Get him

[brisk zinc]

what do you mean i get 2 souls in 1 run

[steady badge]

🫵

[brisk zinc]

i sold chicot and got chicot back from the soul card

this game

[tepid sonnet]

HAHAHAA

[chrome spoke]

Chicot is the beat one anyways

[brisk zinc]

at least plant won't fuck me

[chrome spoke]

He can score literally millions of chips

He scored 2 million on the wall ante 10 for me on one run

[willow silo]

what is wrong with your brainstorm

[brisk zinc]

:D

they're gay keep scrolling

[willow silo]

Is this an alternate jimbo

[split torrent]

no it’s real

[brisk zinc]

ya it's a mod i just isntalled

[willow silo]

thank you obelisk lover

Obelisk sucks by the way

Genuinely dont see how its useful

[split torrent]

[brisk zinc]

is the +mult worth on plama deck

i still don't know how to play this deck

either i sell chicot for this or i don't

[split torrent]

do you have good levels on your planets

[brisk zinc]

straight is level 5

that's why i'm keeping the order

[split torrent]

i don’t think i’d take it then

[brisk zinc]

okay

other hands are kinda zzz

i'm just focusing on straight

i'm actually stupid

spent $10 to reroll the boss while i have chicot

at least no plant

i think i got the hang of plama deck

xmult wins again

[clever crown]

(Sells joker)
(Judgement tarot creates the same joker I sold)

[brisk zinc]

yep

[brisk zinc]

love getting this shop on checkered deck

[wintry patrol]

the humble overstock:

(and like every other voucher)

[chrome spoke]

3rd best

[wintry patrol]

🙄

[tepid sonnet]

rank all vouchers

[chrome spoke]

Gimme a tierlist

[wintry patrol]

how is nacho tong better than grabber

it's the same thing but you need grabber to buy it

[next sail]

bleh

[wintry patrol]

anyway here

[next sail]

and how is blank "not worth" even though you need it for antimatter

[next sail]

have you ever made an obelisk deck

[wintry patrol]

yeah i've used obelisk

it's quite good

[next sail]

quite rare to see someone who values it

[split torrent]

.

[next sail]

it's fun for making kind hands

[next sail]

it's john obelisk himself

Holy shit

[wintry patrol]

i think most gold stake players will tell you it’s very good

it’s just undervalued because a lot of people either don’t know how to play it well or are too focused on endless

[woeful moat]

I know what I have to choose I just don’t know if I have the strength to do it 💔

I want negative bean so bad

[sharp igloo]

Blank is a must buy before you unlock antimatter

[chrome spoke]

Blank on its own is useless

[wintry patrol]

if you’re just considering ante 8 blank is good to pick up in like the first half of the game when you have the money to spare
but it often doesn’t pay off before ante 8 is over

[sharp igloo]

Fair. I’m just trying to unlock antimatter

[meager sage]

So we making tier lists now

[cursive fractal]

To me no voucher is an ante 1 pick

You’re already strapped for cash over there

Also seed money and money tree are way too low

They may not be #1 but they’re very nice to have

[wintry patrol]

the thing is seed money isn't just $10, you also need to keep an extra $25 for it to work well

[cursive fractal]

The extra passive income is really helpful especially considering it doesn’t take up a joker slot

[wintry patrol]

so it's more like $35

[cursive fractal]

If you’ve got extra cash might as well take it

[wintry patrol]

it's partly a joke ik seed money isn't the worst voucher

i just think it's funny that it's so expensive for basically being a negative gold joker

[cursive fractal]

Technically speaking to the moon can double it

And also a lot of the time seed money helps me get to 50$ on its own

[wintry patrol]

0.4% chance of any joker being to the moon 💔

[cursive fractal]

I mean it’s just a slight meme and wasn’t meant to contribute to the debate

[wintry patrol]

yeah ik

[meager sage]

Here are my thoughts

[dry briar]

the -1 ante are not that bad,also the spectral cards in tarot cards are great imo

[opaque shard]

Hieroglyph is definitely better than you'd think

[dry briar]

real

[opaque shard]

-1 hand is risky but that extra time to scale can do wonders

Also telescope is easily ss

[meager sage]

Only with perkeo

[meager sage]

Depends on the run

Im kinda traumatized after completing the black to gold stake

[hybrid swan]

blue deck lobotomy

[wintry cove]

How is discount voucher not at ss

[cursive fractal]

Here’s my list

[sage escarp]

😭

[opaque shard]

Planet cards can easily replace any chips/flatmult joker I think

[wintry cove]

Discount is s😭

[cursive fractal]

They ruin temperance/sell value

Which is a big downside for me

[opaque shard]

Now hone in D is a bit of an exaggeration

Editions can be good

[cursive fractal]

Waste of 10 dollars

Less likely to hit a negative

😭

[opaque shard]

Is that true

In any case it's not like a negative is that necessary most of the time

[elfin tapir]

well it’s always nice to have

[cursive fractal]

More jokers with editions -> less tries for one to be negative

[opaque shard]

In any case you're not gonna make a build based on getting a negative

[cursive fractal]

Not as impactful as other vouchers in the slightest

[meager sage]

Oh wait i was mixing telescope and observatory

[cursive fractal]

Neither are you making one on holographic or polychrome

😭

[elfin tapir]

negative tag is the best one in the game

in no particular situation*

[opaque shard]

There are more uses for them anyway

[meager sage]

Now thats glazing, holy

[cursive fractal]

Glazing what?!

[opaque shard]

Donuts

Mmmm

Can we add a donut joker

It does nothing I'm just hungry

Sell this joker to get a free donut coupon on your nearest donut shop

[elfin tapir]

how long could you survive if you were trapped in balatro with nothing but the food jokers

[meager sage]

Overstock at S? i get they give more options but they arent that good

[opaque shard]

Overstock lets you see more jokers

[cursive fractal]

Overstock makes all your rerolls 1.5x times as valuable

[opaque shard]

Yea

[cursive fractal]

And overstock+ makes it 2x

So like it’s an even better reroll voucher

[meager sage]

Now it get worse if you pick the tarot and planet vauchers, no jokers, only consumables

[opaque shard]

It's still a buff

[cursive fractal]

Yeah

[long blaze]

seeing 50% more shops for free is an s tier opportunity value

[cursive fractal]

And the “falling off” was your choice to begin with

[opaque shard]

Plus tarot and planet merchants aren't that necessary either

[meager sage]

I know that

[long blaze]

tarot merchant is a flat deck fixing benefit

econ and deck snowball

[brisk zinc]

x10 mult is crazy

my fattest yorick ever

[velvet tinsel]

[dusky oasis]

Extinct!

[opal fog]

who doesnt have 2 yoricks couldnt be me

[river vessel]

Chat do copied seeds count as wins or nah?

[opal fog]

idk mine is unseeded

its actually impressive to me

[pastel galleon]

If you mean for like the collection or getting the higher stakes, then no, has to be unseeded to progress them further

[river vessel]

Ohhh I see, ty.

[opal fog]

i am so suprised

T2ENR6C5 this seed is amazing

[meager lily]

no

[opal fog]

tell my 2 yoricks that i love them

they had x8

i was doing the omelette challenge

[uneven island]

can I get my data restored if I got some proofs? dont feel like winning again on blue stake because data didnt save

[opal fog]

if i had more planet cards

[opal fog]

skill issue just get 2 yoricks like me

[uneven island]

if I had allat luck data would save

[wicked grove]

Bored out of my mind

[fringe fossil]

What does nane inf mean?

[drowsy mesa]

Naninf refers to the “scoring limit” of balatro where your score is too big to calculate anymore

If your score gets big enough it breaks and just displays as naneinf

[wicked grove]

Not a number to the power of infinity

[drowsy mesa]

(You have to hit like e308 minimum to get naneinf)

[prime glen]

Best ordering for BP to pass this blind?

[timid cedar]

You have more than enough chips from scary and 2 blokers, leave bp on abstract and pray

Play 3oak Jacks unless pair is a much higher level

[prime glen]

It’s a little higher

[timid cedar]

Then yeah, the only real play is a pair of jacks with bp on abstract

[frigid night]

Its my first time playing and I choose those ones and no matter what I put I win bc lol

This run cannot get any better surely

A third would be impossible

Right...?

[restive swallow]

a third wheel has hit the jokers

[brazen phoenix]

go my cavendish extinction

[wraith wharf]

The game didnt do the funny

[restive swallow]

imagine if it did tho...

you'd be a legend of folklore...

[rose comet]

hang it in the louvre

[wraith wharf]

Def

[rose comet]

how can i improve this?

[wraith wharf]

Getting money

[brazen phoenix]

when you're done with DNA you could replace that

[wraith wharf]

Money is life in balatro

[brazen phoenix]

truw

[restive swallow]

if i'm honest with you my guy

you're probably not gettin much further

[rose comet]

money...

[restive swallow]

with how quickly endless antes scale

im talking about the joker?

stop being gae

[steep sphinx]

guys look how big my wee is

[dry briar]

[high drift]

????

[wicked arrow]

gay

[timid cedar]

It could be because the calc adds more cards from dna, I’ve never used dna on there so not 100% sure

As in the calc could consider this to be your first hand, adding a card with dna to it, despite you having already used dna in the actual game

[high drift]

Ohhhhh

[timid cedar]

That’s all I can think of

[high drift]

Yeah you're right

Its reduce alot when I remove DNA

Fuck it

Random seed run

Yet no ecto

[timid cedar]

Alright, glad I could help with that at least. Genuinely didn’t know the calc properly added DNA to scoring

[vast raft]

[unreal aurora]

I just realized Royal Flush and Straight Flush have the same scaling

I need a minute 😞

[timid cedar]

Wait until you realise that they are the exact same hand, one is just the highest scoring version if the other

[unreal aurora]

I mean yes but in poker they're considered different

[timid cedar]

Not really, a royal flush is just given a different name since it is literally the best possible hand in normal poker, it’s still just a straight flush, just a higher rank than all other straight flushes

[unreal aurora]

Yes that's what I'm saying

In poker a Royal Flush and a Straight Flush are not the same, and one is considered the better hand

[timid cedar]

A royal flush is just the best straight flush, it’s not different

[unreal aurora]

Every poker ranking I see has royal flush as part of the ranking and thus in my mind that's considered its own hand type

You can disagree but that's how I see it

[cold merlin]

it is recognized by Balatro, just uses multiplier from straight flush

there is even unlock for discarding a royal flush

[unreal aurora]

I know

[cold merlin]

really powerful unlock

[unreal aurora]

But it's the same scaler

There's no "Royal Flush" planet card

[cold merlin]

Well there is such thing in video games called "Balance"

[unreal aurora]

I don't disagree with balatro doing this it just frustrates me

Although I would argue nothing is balanced in this game it's all literally just luck of the draw

[cold merlin]

Well yeah unfortunately doing it would be unfun... even if it is frustrating

[cold merlin]

balance is not only about that... Balance is also about how fun it is

Having an extra weak planet for very specific hand would make it planet rolls unbalanced, which then would be unfun whenever you see it in a pack or shop

[unreal aurora]

I would find it fun for there to be a planet card for royal flushes that appears if you get them like the ones for Five of a Kind, Flush House, etc. simply because you can consistently make them if you stack your deck, same as you could with the examples I already shared

[unreal aurora]

Make it work like the Five of a King, Flush House hands

I'd argue Straight Flush is a "weak planet" for similar reasons

Because straight flushs are difficult hands to make and scaling them is pointless unless your deck is stacked for it

[cold merlin]

Yes but having 2 weak ones would be even worse

and hiding it behind unlock would be weird

like 5ok

[unreal aurora]

See my previous point, where the royal flush planet only appears after you start making them often like the FooK card

I don't think it would be weird personally

[cold merlin]

trade offs have to be made during game design... and they are often unsatisfying

[red hill]

ay

how to pronounce?

[unreal aurora]

I don't think it's a terribly tall ask to be fair, as a hobbyist dev, but like I said already, this is all just my opinion anyway

[cold merlin]

Yes but then if you luck out and get it randomly, and you did level up straight flush, it would be very sad that you got it... and getting strongest possible combination being sad is not good game design

There are this corner cases you need to think about in player experience

[red hill]

😔

[cold merlin]

you didn't even say what

[red hill]

huh

the game name man

lmaoo

[cold merlin]

oh

it is a Latin word

so pronounce it like Latin

[red hill]

i assumed

fair enough

[unreal aurora]

Ohhhhh true great point actually

I guess royal flushes can be considered a nice little easter egg nod to poker or smth

[cold merlin]

There are so many weird jokers in this game with weird names... that I had to ask for clarification 🙂

Balatro is Latin for jester

[red hill]

oh yeah understandable

i should’ve js said the word

[unreal aurora]

Is there a joker named Balatro in the game? 🤔

[red hill]

good question

[cold merlin]

yeah you are hobbyist... and I have to worry about player experience professionally as a software developer... That is why I think about such things

There are so many weird things that players might like and not like... it is insane

[unreal aurora]

Trust me dude I’m not unaware of the player experience variable 👍

Being a hobbyist doesn’t mean people haven’t played my projects

[cold merlin]

Yeah it is just about experiencing many successes and failures and trying to predict best case and worst case corner cases and how people would feel

no easy task... comes with years of experience

[unreal aurora]

Thankfully being a player of games one's self can help learn good design through osmosis, at least on the player-side. Technical-side is an entire other ballgame

A good example I think is Tarkov. The lead dev has made it quite clear in the past (can't say for the past three years though, don't play anymore) that he is making the game he wants and he doesn't care if people think it's too hard or whatever

Tarkov is an extremely unoptimized game with many anti-player mechanisms that make the experience quite excruciating. Idk how I found it fun for so long, maybe the desire to overcome the annoyances outweighed the desire to have fun

Omg wow gros michal just fucking died after its first round 😭

Yay Cavendish

real what a garbage deck

I hate it so much

I get why it’s considered good but bleh

[jagged acorn]

its okay

idk about black deck being better though

[half whale]

when your trib build gets past the plant

why do i always only get the good seeds when im trying to unlock stuff

ok wtf why did my jokers move

[jagged acorn]

yo is that a blueprint and hologram joker

[safe ledge]

teaching my friend how to play and they got soul on an ante 1 skip??

[viscid quiver]

happened to my friend

and Yorick too

[tribal void]

the balatro experience is getting a legendary and dying due to a stupid mistake 3 antes later, then your friend gets a legendary on their first run and gets to ante 16

[alpine cloak]

whats the missing joker here?

last joker i need to unlock

[placid hedge]

since when was this a feature

[glad oriole]

what, perishable?

[timid cedar]

Perishable negatives reducing joker slots when disabled

[glad oriole]

uh

[timid cedar]

It’s a known issue

[glad oriole]

is that not how they always worked

or how they’re supposed to work

if you play a debuffed polychrome card you dont get 1.5x mult

why would negative be any different

[timid cedar]

No, it can permanently reduce it to 4 slots in some scenarios

[glad oriole]

it didnt in this scenario

so thats clearly not the question

[timid cedar]

Well there is literally nothing else in that pic to talk about

[glad oriole]

unless the reduction happens after the joker is sold

[placid hedge]

I hate ectoplasm

[glad oriole]

which they havent done

[glad oriole]

good

[timid cedar]

The case I was talking about only happens when invis copies a debuffed negative apparently. So that is likely not the case

The pic might actually be talking about baseball working with debuffed uncommons

[glad oriole]

i dont think it does that

[timid cedar]

Which has always been the case. I guess that’s just one of the few traits debuffing doesn’t remove

It does

[glad oriole]

and if it does then its very unclear in the pic

[timid cedar]

Baseball does work with debuffed uncommons

[placid hedge]

No I just didn’t know negative was affected by debuffs

[glad oriole]

yes, all editions are

[placid hedge]

And ectoplasm hit it

[glad oriole]

thats your mistake tbg

like no offense

[timid cedar]

That’s unfortunate, but also on you for not selling the debuffed first

[glad oriole]

ectoplasm while you have a perishable is too risky

even if the debuffed joker retained the negative effect it wouldnt be worth it

because having a negative debuffed joker provides no benefit aside from 3 dollars of temperance valye

which if you ask me

-1 handsize for 3 dollar temperance value is not worth it whatsoever

[charred ether]
