🎙・server-chat

[brisk zinc]

thunk is kind active anyway

[cobalt falcon]

Well that's what players suppose to do here, give advice

[rare yew]

Tbf I didn’t chat here for like 10 straight months at one point

[cobalt falcon]

Btw I'll skip photo

I like the current synergy

[brisk zinc]

hey thunk i won my first gold stake the other day :D

C+ soon™️

[round birch]

localthunk you should drop a balatro openworld rpg game where your ultimate goal is to defeat the evil violet vessel enemy

[hot pike]

13 jokers left till c++🤑

[rare yew]

you should 🌞

[slim junco]

well i gotta say bye bye

[fair lantern]

what's C+ ?

[hot pike]

but still missing 2 vouchers to use

[fair lantern]

gold stake on every deck ?

[brisk zinc]

and many new jokers in 1.1 hehe

[hot pike]

a

[halcyon flame]

i think localthunk should add antimatter deck to vanilla balala

[hot pike]

beating the highest diffulculty on every deck

[round birch]

please no

[fair lantern]

ah yeah

[brisk zinc]

apparently i can't ping you but i'm curious

i'm asking if c++ will become even more difficult in 1.1

[fair lantern]

I've beaten blue and abandoned on gold stake

also trying to get C+ I guess

[rare yew]

We did chat about that here and where basically everyone landed is that it’s called completionist for a reason

[round birch]

actually how would that even work with only vanilla cards and jokers lol
all jokers on 2nd ante

[halcyon flame]

idk

[rare yew]

It’d be really weird for the completionist achievement not to be a 100% thing

[hushed solar]

its the big man himself

[brisk zinc]

that makes sense

[solemn elm]

there will be new jokers, and yeah they'll count towards it, but thunk has said that blue stake rework will probably make the game easier so

[rare yew]

I don’t care how difficult C++ is

[brisk zinc]

well in that sense i can flex with beating blue stake before the nerf 💪

[rare yew]

It’s the completionist achievement

[halcyon flame]

if thats true why is there completionist+ and completionist ++

[slim junco]

jk im back

[solemn elm]

same reason there's new game and new game+ and Ng++...

[brisk zinc]

tbf i agree with this, i was just curious about what u think :D

[slim junco]

how was using love like

[rare yew]

It’s arguably already “too difficult” for achievement hunters

But I love how hard C++ is

[fair lantern]

is C++ all challenges all decks on gold stake all jokers unlocked ?

[sly ridge]

nah it wasnt

[brisk zinc]

"too difficult" = skill issue

[hushed solar]

i mean it just takes time

[rare yew]

I’m talking people that try to 100% all games

[round birch]

add c+++ where you have to beat the game with gold stake 150 times with one joker for the entire run each time

[rare yew]

C++ is annoying for them

[brisk zinc]

yeah it's grindy tbf

[static sand]

C++ is not that hard once you know how to get consistent wins using only 2 to 3 jokers

[solemn elm]

Balatro is very similar to Isaac in that respect, the main difference being that Isaac has like 600 achievements with 10 being insanely difficult, and Balatro has 2

[brisk zinc]

for me c++ is only annoying in programming

[halcyon flame]

c++ is amazing wdym

[sly ridge]

i wish there was a special effect for doing 100% progress on all 3 profile saves akin to Isaac's infinity percent

[high drift]

[brisk zinc]

i didn't say it's bad

[high drift]

THIS GAME NEVER BEEN NICE TO ME ONCE

[rare yew]

c++ slaps, that’s how I made games for like 8 years

[brisk zinc]

it's annoying since i'm used to c without the ++

[round birch]

why are your $2 so small

[scenic helm]

Hey local, what’s your personal favorite deck/build

[halcyon flame]

i used to be a python programmer but c++ feels so much more intuitive

[slim junco]

how was it like making balatro in love

[high drift]

I spend all my money looking for burglar

No Burglar

[spice moth]

he means the icon

[hushed solar]

ty for making balatro

[brisk zinc]

one could say you've been robbed

[halcyon flame]

well obviously a burglar wouldnt want to be found :/

[brisk zinc]

heh

[high drift]

My precious chance to nan

Oh well

[cobalt falcon]

Done 😁

[high drift]

This game never been nice to me once

[cobalt falcon]

Easy run

[brisk zinc]

this game is sometimes nice to me

[halcyon flame]

the game hates me but loves me at the same time

[round birch]

the immaculate e136 run you just posted:

[solemn elm]

the game loves me because I'm good 💖

[brisk zinc]

if the score is within the 32bit int limit does it even count?

[halcyon flame]

ill be so close to getting the hand i need and then the game makes me spend like 3 discards and 2 hands and gives me a completely different blind winning hand entirely

[sly ridge]

it didnt roll a serpent thats the thing

[rare yew]

The other reason there won’t be a new completionist achievement is can you imaging how confusing it’d be for new players to have multiple layers of completionist in addition to + and ++

[brisk zinc]

makes sense

[rare yew]

For what is essentially a random subset of 150 jokers for them

[halcyon flame]

add c sharp then

[spice moth]

also is there some kind of chance of not pulling specific color cards bc of jokers? like i feel like once i get a joker that hits on a random color i just pull less of it or am i just that unlucky

[rare yew]

No

Negativity bias

[sly ridge]

thunk is reverse swirly effect from mobile for getting c++ ever happens on pc

[spice moth]

Oh wow, like the second i get a bloodstone whatever i just pull much less of that type card

[rare yew]

You don’t

[solemn elm]

? e136 isn't within the 32 bit integer limit

[brisk zinc]

i got throwback on ante 1 should i try the <12 rounds achievement rn

[rare yew]

It feels like you do, but it’s the same

[halcyon flame]

go ahead

[viscid bridge]

salutations chat

[rugged viper]

welovethunk

[high drift]

You little piece of shit Burglar

[wintry patrol]

probably the best situation to try it yeah

[viscid bridge]

[brisk zinc]

my cat's name is lilo

[rare yew]

[brisk zinc]

just thought i'd let you know

does thunk like cats

[rare yew]

They are aight

[brisk zinc]

fair enough

[round birch]

clearly a moment

[slim junco]

VOTE FOR JIMBO AS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF AMERICA FOR FREE MULT

[halcyon flame]

cats are pretty cool

[brisk zinc]

wait wtf

leo is typing

[high drift]

Naninf revenge soon

[brisk zinc]

my other cat is called leo

[high drift]

[brisk zinc]

both my cats in chat rn

[wintry patrol]

i would rather have a virtual card as the president than the current one

[halcyon flame]

lmfao

[viscid bridge]

Gary "Jimbo" Mcready for president when

[round birch]

thats my friend 😭

[static sand]

Completionist++* - (* Refers to the new ones) /s

[halcyon flame]

when will john jimbo be running for president

[brisk zinc]

also my kitty

[cobalt falcon]

What's the best winstreak record in balatro?

[spice moth]

you will never know i might just be your cat in disguise

[viscid bridge]

what does /s mean in this context

[round birch]

localthunk are we gonna get an xChip joker

[solemn elm]

thank you

[brisk zinc]

#🙋・frequently-asked (no we will not)

[viscid bridge]

pretty sure he's denied the possibility of that

[halcyon flame]

im pretty sure balatro university has a 60+ one but i feel like theres gotta be someone with a higher one

[solemn elm]

Certificate used to be an xChips joker, ish

[brisk zinc]

Here's the said lilo

[wintry patrol]

i am this way and it’s honestly good because it means i never run out of games to play
since i play each one for so long :p
personally i found c++ fun though idk

[round birch]

rest in peace xChip

[viscid bridge]

huh, neat

[round birch]

why does he look so goofy i love him

[solemn elm]

it swapped the mult and chips

[rare yew]

One of my friends that I originally made the game for (the friend that came up with the idea for the flaming score effect) got a 99 win streak

[brisk zinc]

she* is a very goofy goober

[halcyon flame]

woah

[cobalt falcon]

Damn, that's gonna be hard to beat!

[brisk zinc]

and a criminal

[spice moth]

Genius idea

[round birch]

sorry i love her

[spice moth]

I feel like the fire animation is one of yhe best ideas ever

[halcyon flame]

how did they react when they lost the 100th one

[round birch]

fire animation is fire

[rare yew]

Lmao he fumbled the 100th

[viscid bridge]

that is actually wild.
how does one get a streak like that

[halcyon flame]

i feel like i would crash out if that happened to me

[slim junco]

hey thunk what would be your reaction if someone made a statue of jimbo besides the statue of liberty

[spice moth]

i feel like you are plotting something

[cobalt falcon]

What's your winstreak boss?

[brisk zinc]

i'd like to see that happen

[wintry patrol]

with practice white stake kinda becomes really easy tbf

[viscid bridge]

that isn't a hypothetical, that's a plan

[slim junco]

nah not now maybe six years later if i don't forget

[solemn elm]

that's incredibly easy, genuinely

[viscid bridge]

i suppose, i just suck at learning synergies :(

[rare yew]

My best is 15, I got it doing a lap of all decks as I was working toward C+ (black stake iirc)

[wintry patrol]

lol

[spice moth]

Still, 99 is a lot of time spent

[round birch]

unless you get only a joker and sly joker for the entire run and get no good jokerless sets

[hallow venture]

sock - cat edition

[patent flame]

It's grindy but it's really fun

[halcyon flame]

thats cool asf

[cobalt falcon]

Easy is not, but you get used to it especially on white stakes

[patent flame]

When the games are good ofc. This is one of them

[round birch]

i was gonna say sock and catskin but that sounds so horrible

[wintry patrol]

my highest gold stake win streak is 4 idk how tf drspectred got 67 😭

[hallow venture]

sock and buscat

[halcyon flame]

practice idk

[cobalt falcon]

The rng factor is always there to screw people

[spice moth]

cat and dog skin

[viscid bridge]

twiddles thumbs with my win streak of 2. impressive, i know

[round birch]

NO

[patent flame]

Wow same

[halcyon flame]

god that is horrible

[hallow venture]

was there before game released tho

[solemn elm]

I've done a 15 streak on gold stake across decks, a 100 streak on white would be nothing - if I went for it, I'd probably end up getting 10,000 or so before my brain turned into mush in the nursing home

[sly ridge]

the rng factor is there to make complex decisions on the go

[patent flame]

Doc probably takes like early rentals

[viscid bridge]

-# i am not good at balatro, at all

[round birch]

i feel you bro

[viscid bridge]

🥲

[cobalt falcon]

I think I can top 20 in white but then every game becomes heavy because you don't really want to lose

[patent flame]

It's kinda weird to me tbh seeing ppl around me are not great at this game, and I'm just here winning like 5 gold stake runs a day

Out of fun

[round birch]

i have yet to gold stake but whenever i play it the game gives me 20 jolly jokers in a row

[rare yew]

I honestly think I can do 100 on white, that’s my toxic trait

[solemn elm]

white doesn't really matter if you're semi-decent
losing a run on white is 100% entirely your fault

[wintry patrol]

yeah i also don’y really try for streaks tbf because
i don’t find it fun

[frigid mural]

Think I’m in the 20s by accident that’s the real meta

[wintry patrol]

i prefer taking risks for fun and silly runs

[solemn elm]

that's not really toxic - it's very achievable, it'd just be very boring

[cobalt falcon]

Agree

[patent flame]

My toxic trait is 200 streak on white stake and all of them are baron run attempts

[halcyon flame]

there should be an in-game leaderboard for who has the highest streaks

[rare yew]

No

[solemn elm]

in-game leaderboard would not be good

[rare yew]

People will cheese it

[solemn elm]

every single game with an in-game leaderboard just leads to abuse

[cobalt falcon]

Is enough to have strong econ and you basically cannot lose

[rare yew]

No way around it

[wintry patrol]

yeah idt an ingame leaderboard fits with the game

[slim junco]

i love cheese

[halcyon flame]

fair enough

[patent flame]

It's a single player game... Ppl are already puzzled when starting out no need to complicate it

[spice moth]

cheaters and competitve ppl would ruin it quick

[solemn elm]

competition isn't really the problem, it's the cheating and cheesing

[spice moth]

multiplayer aspects should stay in mods

[cobalt falcon]

Ig leaderboard not a good idea

[viscid bridge]

yeah, no im not good at balatro. do mind that i got the game almost 3 weeks ago and im not the type of person to play games very often, so thats a big factor, but im a casual enjoyer of balatro gameplay-wise. lore-wise however, i will pick up any piece of lore i can find because its funny

[halcyon flame]

i just felt like it would be cool to be able to honor people who have been able to master the game and get absurdly high streaks :/

[cobalt falcon]

Most of those would be cheaters

[round birch]

balatro 478 page lore book

[patent flame]

Peak lore is todd and steven being the besties

[wintry patrol]

personally i think forcing competition into a singleplayer roguelike will just discourage a lot of new players

[rare yew]

I made a system where the game tracks all your inputs and sends that to a server to simulate your run to verify your score for a potential daily challenge mode, but then it occurred to me that won’t even stop the cheating because people would just pre scout the seed with a seed searcher to hyper optimize the run and that’s nowhere near what I want the game to be

[viscid bridge]

is that actual lore? im too deep into the balatro hole

[halcyon flame]

i understand implementation would be difficult, but in an ideal scenario i think it would be cool

[solemn elm]

Jimbo is forklift certified /srs

[viscid bridge]

i really should note down balatro lore from time to time

[spice moth]

daily challenge would be fun for ppl getting bored

[round birch]

it has lore?

[rare yew]

Not difficult - impossible

[viscid bridge]

oh i know, i look through the wiki lmao

[spice moth]

that did everything

[patent flame]

I do that when i was new to the game

Now i remember every single joker and its effects

[brisk zinc]

me when the negative tag is vagabond 💔

[patent flame]

And utilization methods

[slim junco]

hey thunk what do you think of the erratic deck ten of spades seed

[solemn elm]

it's been partially implemented - remnants in the code and mentions previously. it's just not playable yet

[round birch]

me when the negative tag is a square joker

[patent flame]

U are given peak 💜

[brisk zinc]

yea if you have shit econ

[viscid bridge]

banana lore.

[spice moth]

i mean everyone does after atleast 20 hours i feel like

[patent flame]

I been playing for months now

As a way to spend my spare time

So a gold stake run just feels like another run

[viscid bridge]

i only do it if i get fixated on something. I am too fixated on balatro to function

[hot pike]

stuntman better

[spice moth]

Id never think you thought that

[halcyon flame]

why do you need bad econ for vagabond? just spend all your money in the shop

[frigid mural]

This tha only game I play in my phone

[cobalt falcon]

Going to play Blue Stake on green deck, bye chat

[patent flame]

I can say I'm fixated but I wanna move on to stuff like limbus

[round birch]

what do you think of three stuntmans with blueprint and brainstorm

[patent flame]

Cuz limbus seems really cool

[rare yew]

Later chat

[halcyon flame]

cya

[wintry patrol]

o/

[patent flame]

Bye!

[brisk zinc]

i don't want to waste my $50 just for one tarot

[slim junco]

later

[brisk zinc]

cya thunk

[round birch]

see you later balatro manguy

[hot pike]

Bai thunk

[hot pike]

remove the BP and bs and you have 3 of the best jokers

[round birch]

yeah but the bp and bs copy the best jokers

[patent flame]

The nefarious psychic:

[hot pike]

yes but are they stuntman

[viscid bridge]

what are y'alls favorite jokers anyway
i feel like i know which joker stuntman glazer favors but like, what about you guys?

[spice moth]

shouldnt it be stuntmen

[hot pike]

I mean my second fav gotta be midas mask

[round birch]

isnt it even impossible just to play a hand atp 😭

[viscid bridge]

im into the classics personally, live laugh love jimbo

[halcyon flame]

i feel like gros michel is super underrated, very good early game mult plus it opens the door for an extremely good joker later on

[round birch]

shhh

[viscid bridge]

neat!

[slim junco]

keanu jimbo

[viscid bridge]

LIVE LAUGH LOVE MICHAEL

[round birch]

so what if you have a full set of 5 stuntmen

[patent flame]

Yep

[hot pike]

2 handsize is enough 🥀

[spice moth]

you die😭

[patent flame]

Stuntman is good. But don't be like this guy guys

[halcyon flame]

agreed

[round birch]

😭

[hot pike]

stuntman is not good,it's the best

[slim junco]

thanks u for da advice

[round birch]

how many times ive played a high card on psychic 💔

[hard gyro]

Hi

[slim junco]

if you are a stuntman irl

[hard gyro]

This is so funny

[hot pike]

and DNA on mouth and needle :-:

[round birch]

wait so are you hologram or jimbo

[brittle dagger]

flex

[hard gyro]

I am bit of both

[halcyon flame]

that one flush five:

[brittle dagger]

(high card only 9 antes)

[brittle dagger]

its a screenshot of mr playing it to try save the run

[hard gyro]

You played a stack lol

[brittle dagger]

current scoring wasnt enough

[viscid bridge]

brb fellas hold on uhhhhhhhhhh

[halcyon flame]

rip

[brittle dagger]

burglar + brainstorm lolol

[slim junco]

i love spades they're adorable

[halcyon flame]

for some reason i default to spades even though i never get arrowhead

[round birch]

true why is world 10x more common than any other

[halcyon flame]

no clue

[brittle dagger]

slightly different flex
+500 chips, -4 hand size
lolol

[patent flame]

I love arrowhead and blackbuh

Arrowhead > all uncommon suit jokers

[halcyon flame]

even blood stone??????

[brittle dagger]

melikez rough gem. 😁

[brisk zinc]

ok now how in the fuck do i do less than 12 rounds

[brittle dagger]

full-skip

[round birch]

true

[patent flame]

Ew... Why would u like the betrayer 💔

[brittle dagger]

pray to find throwback lol

[brisk zinc]

i had throwback on this run

[halcyon flame]

but the funny numbers 😦

[brittle dagger]

skip all sb and bb

lel

[patent flame]

The bloodstone proc without oops: 1, 2, 3

[brisk zinc]

and get score where

[round birch]

did bro just unlock jimbo

[brisk zinc]

no that's small jimbo

jimblet

[halcyon flame]

i like big number and blood stone gets big number

therefore i like blood stone

[hot pike]

do any deck, find uncommon tag, hope it's throwback,win

[patent flame]

U unlocked jimbo. Gg

[brittle dagger]

dude i did <12 rounds on accident, one of the first things i did

[patent flame]

I did that too

[brisk zinc]

oh lol

[patent flame]

Didn't know that would reward me an achievement

[brittle dagger]

also yall wanna try high card only run

cmon its fun to be rerolling for ante 1 charm tag 😁😁

[slim junco]

High card scary

[brittle dagger]

(i did it on plasma deck)

[halcyon flame]

high card is not for me

[brittle dagger]

(just find hierophant make bonus cards and have banger)

[brittle trellis]

WHY IS BALATRO SO ADDICTING

[brisk zinc]

because big number go up

[hot pike]

pair is just better

[halcyon flame]

because big number becomes bigger

[brisk zinc]

dopamine and whatnot

[brittle dagger]

this high card only channenge is actually my 2nd ever hc build
(1st was right before and its what gave me the idea)

[brittle dagger]

doesnt hc scale fast

heard that somewhere

[hot pike]

10 chips vs 15 chips

[fossil badger]

Now that's color

[brittle dagger]

fr?

[hot pike]

pair has 1.5 more chips when leveling

[brittle dagger]

15*?

what about mult tho

[hot pike]

1

[brittle dagger]

hmmmm

same as hc?

[hot pike]

yes

[patent flame]

Betrayer gay flush mult gay flush mult gay flush mult 4 dollars voucher with -1 joker slot

[halcyon flame]

high card is literally the hand you get when you cant make any others, why would it be better than any of them 😭

[hot pike]

only time I would use hc is doing held in hand effects such as shoot the moon gold steel cards etc

[brittle dagger]

also i should mention flush house
pretty strong early ante, just carry a suit tarot into a run and it should be trivial to make one
one-shots the early blinds easily, and with a bit of leveling it can go far

downside: a bit hard to draw one later

[halcyon flame]

coming from the guy with 2 hand size

[wintry patrol]

the issue with flush house is it's very hard to draw without a lot of deck fixing

especially if you're in blue stake+

[hot pike]

Ive done more pairs than hc while using stuntman:-:

[halcyon flame]

literally how

[brittle dagger]

i just made bonus card aces and hanging chad +bs +scholar

[patent flame]

This is why vagabuh is peak

[hot pike]

yk what I'm already gonna say

[patent flame]

With lucky tarot hits u build a flush house hand

[brittle dagger]

credit card vagabond
haha tarot generator go brrr

[halcyon flame]

vagabond is just a tarot factory

at the very worst its $1 every hand you play

[patent flame]

Nah it's Broke guy making tarots at the streets of jimbo city

[halcyon flame]

broke guy who somehow can generate a damn near limitless amount of tarot cards from absolutely nothing

just hook up a conveyer belt to that guy and hes a factory

Pulled straight out of his Jimbo ass

Childhood is cherishing Flush.
Adolescence is coming to terms with High Card.
Adulthood is realising that any hand type can work.
- The Art of Balatro, Jim Tzu

something

mayb

[halcyon flame]

adulthood is flush five

[brittle dagger]

mayb 🙂

[brittle dagger]

honestly thats still kinda childhood

lag

internet jsut shut off for a minute

[halcyon flame]

yeah that happens

[patent flame]

Truth nuke childhood is when you idolize flush. Adulthood is realizing high card makes more sense

[halcyon flame]

guess im still a child because i just dont like high card

[patent flame]

It's ok. Every new balatro player is newborn child

Soon u will realize the beauty of high card

[halcyon flame]

i get that it has potential to do super well but it doesnt feel good to play

[left glade]

high card is very boring

i'm a newborn child, just play balatro for 50 hours

[patent flame]

High card haters when they found out the beautiful potential of Shoot The Moon

[hard gyro]

What is this

[halcyon flame]

i did and still dislike it

[brittle dagger]

i did a high card only run for no reason (plasma white stake) and i still dont rly get it :<

i like my retrigger enhanced cards more

[patent flame]

High card is more consistent to play

And with the right jokers

U get stronger every hand 💜

[halcyon flame]

flush is also consistent

[brittle dagger]

i just like doing this more ok?

[left glade]

(only baron)

[brittle dagger]

it just works

[halcyon flame]

straights are also relatively consistent

full house is consistent

[patent flame]

It's ok. U are new so i forgive

[halcyon flame]

what makes high card special

[halcyon flame]

exactly

[patent flame]

New players once they discover green joker square joker card sharp stencil blackboard

[brittle dagger]

seed for anyone who wants to try

[hard gyro]

What's special about that seed

[halcyon flame]

none of those jokers are specific to high card?

[brittle dagger]

not rly i just got fucked by no straight draw on my double perkeo run

[patent flame]

It can be

Blackboard all u need to do is just remove hearts and diamonds from the hand

[left glade]

blackboard is bad

card sharp is good

[brittle dagger]

not when i have a one shot that i need to use all my discards for

[halcyon flame]

straights are definitely the least consistent 5 card hand imo (excluding secret hands and straight flush)

[patent flame]

Blackboard Good*

[brittle dagger]

fraeky kfc jumpcare

[halcyon flame]

isnt blackboard actually better for larger hands? because that means less cards in hand and so more likelihood of blackboard activating?

[patent flame]

No

Better for smaller hands and smaller hand size

If u want it to be consistent

[halcyon flame]

if u want it to be consistent just do deck fixing

[patent flame]

U need deck fixing for all cards to be spades or clubs yeah

[alpine orbit]

larger hands have more specific patterns while smaller hands let you throwaway a few cards (specifically you can play all the non club/spade cards)

[uneven edge]

the only hand that’s more consistent is flushes

full houses and the secret hands are less consistent because you don’t have them immediately lmao

[alpine orbit]

aren't straights more consistent than full houses?

[uneven edge]

yep

[halcyon flame]

i mean from my experience blackboard can still be triggered consistently with larger hands

[uneven edge]

full houses are way less consistent

[halcyon flame]

really? i feel like i get full house much more conistently than straights

[wintry patrol]

it's far easier with smaller hands

[alpine orbit]

the math says otherwise

[halcyon flame]

damn

[uneven edge]

way easier with smaller hands

pair or high card you can just get rid of 3-4 cards you don’t need and get blackboard proc’d

[left glade]

i love astronomer

[alpine orbit]

this is why blackboard is almost effectively unconditional to pair builds

[halcyon flame]

its 3x mult either way, as long as you can get it it doesnt really matter how easy it is

[wintry patrol]

it definitely does

[alpine orbit]

flower pot:

[uneven edge]

I mean it does matter

if you can proc a 3x mult easier

that matters a lot

[alpine orbit]

i wouldn't put flower pot and blackboard together

[wintry patrol]

if you can do it more easily you can focus on deck fixing for other things and adding gold cards and such

instead of using suit changers

[halcyon flame]

fair enough

[wintry patrol]

if you're playing pairs or high card blackboard is usable with 0 deck fixing

[uneven edge]

they all benefit from high cards and get better usage

[alpine orbit]

i think blackboard is the best static xMult in the game

(after cavendish)

[patent flame]

Yep

[uneven edge]

cav

oh

[patent flame]

Easy to deck fix and easy to use without deck fix too

[alpine orbit]

arguably best uncommon too but there's hologram

[halcyon flame]

what ab card sharp

[alpine orbit]

too many counters

[wintry patrol]

card sharp has weaknesses

[brisk zinc]

canio

[alpine orbit]

needle kills it

[proper spear]

cavendish is still better anyways

[wintry patrol]

needle and eye

[patent flame]

Countered by eye potentially mouth

Mouth when u fuck Up

[wintry patrol]

yeah and mouth sometimes

[alpine orbit]

water too

[wintry patrol]

canio isn't static xmult it's scaling

[brisk zinc]

oh i didn't see the whole convo sry

[uneven edge]

it’s ok

[patent flame]

Seeing double would be good if it's 1x more

[brisk zinc]

yea cav is probably among the best then

[patent flame]

But it's fair considering how easy it is to use

[alpine orbit]

seeing double is really nice tbf

[wintry patrol]

clearly family is the best static xmult because the number is the biggest

[patent flame]

Not among, The best

[proper spear]

i am a seeing double enjoyer

[patent flame]

It's easy to find because it's common

And is unconditional

[proper spear]

gros michel:

[alpine orbit]

LOYALTY CARD

[wintry patrol]

loyalty card is a 1x multiplier

[patent flame]

Loyalmid only good with a burglar setup 💔

[alpine orbit]

also I've been liking acrobat a bit more

it's nice

has its problems

[patent flame]

I love acrobuh but I'm crying rn

[proper spear]

loyalty card is on average a x1.5 mult

[wintry patrol]

acrobat is nice for hand scalers like green joker or supernova or ride the bus

[patent flame]

Cuz i lost a gold stake run with vessel

With it and burglar

Literally 10k chips short

With steel too

[alpine orbit]

F

[wintry patrol]

loyalty card would've been better

[halcyon flame]

yeah but unless you have burglar or nacho tong it isnt consistent enough to activate every blind

[patent flame]

Not in the seed

[proper spear]

yeah

[alpine orbit]

blackboard is in S tier

for me

above campfire

i think

[patent flame]

Imagine scaling and then u just accidentally one shot

[alpine orbit]

it's just so...

it just works

[patent flame]

That's why i don't like loyalty

Outside of burglar uses

[alpine orbit]

what's everyone's favorite scaling xMult

[patent flame]

Obelisk

[proper spear]

obelisk

[patent flame]

Obelisk made me win more gold stake runs

[alpine orbit]

so uhhhh

[proper spear]

same

[alpine orbit]

i might have changed my mind earlier

[uneven edge]

obelisk

we are obelisk glazers

[alpine orbit]

but glass joker is fucking nuts

[uneven edge]

yorick is a close second

[patent flame]

This is the best build u can ever ask for to win gold stake

[alpine orbit]

i was so unfamiliar with its game man

[wintry patrol]

lucky cat

[patent flame]

Yea it scales insanely fast

[uneven edge]

safest build possible

[alpine orbit]

glass joker is crack

[patent flame]

And u benefit from glass cards too

Really good

[alpine orbit]

it's like canio except it's probably better???

lol

[patent flame]

Yea

[uneven edge]

actually it’s campfire I change my mind

[cobalt falcon]

Omg black deck is brutal at blue+ stakes...

[alpine orbit]

fair campfire is amazing

[patent flame]

U so right

[alpine orbit]

probably yorick for me tho

yorick then campfire

[cobalt falcon]

3 hands 2 discards

[proper spear]

welcome to hell

[wintry patrol]

lucky cat is just very fun for me

[patent flame]

I'm a little bit biased with rarities

[alpine orbit]

yeah it's quite consistent actually

[patent flame]

Cuz to like yorick u only ever get like

0.3% chance to have it

[proper spear]

gato is fun

[alpine orbit]

i keep getting trib

it's so meh early game

[patent flame]

I hate trib in gold stake

[alpine orbit]

i literally died

[uneven edge]

trib on abandoned :

[proper spear]

that’s what i’m saying

[alpine orbit]

using a trib

like trib doesn't work

it doesn't do anything useful for me

[patent flame]

Trib is too expensive to setup for

[wintry patrol]

trib is very good but it's disappointing when you get it because you'd rather have any of the other legendaries for gold stake

[proper spear]

i’ve died on like 3 trib runs in recent memory

[patent flame]

And it can spawn in abandoned

[alpine orbit]

i got it early and was so excited and then i died because i had trouble with literally all aspects of my scoring

it genuinely would've been better if i just sold it

[patent flame]

I'd rather have a perkeo to get me out of debts from being forced to take hand scaling jokers alongside rentals

Trib makes me in debt Even More

Cuz if i don't setup for it i brutally fucking die

[alpine orbit]

i tried and i died

[patent flame]

And it gets killed by a single boss

[alpine orbit]

miserably

[uneven edge]

I got a trib in a GS abandoned deck and I never felt more disappointed

[alpine orbit]

pareidolia S tier joker

[proper spear]

ooh, 10 dollars

[uneven edge]

F tier*

[patent flame]

U understand it

[alpine orbit]

yeah trib is like +20 mult or +$10 for me

[uneven edge]

actually it’s like a very low D for me

[alpine orbit]

unironically yes

probably D

[uneven edge]

pareidolia CAN give you money

[alpine orbit]

just because it works with a few things

[uneven edge]

in the very niche situations

[alpine orbit]

which automatically makes it better than baron

[alpine orbit]

quite well too

[patent flame]

It makes faceless better

[alpine orbit]

like parking

[vale fog]

pareidolia + faceless/reserved parking

[patent flame]

And parking in abandoned

[alpine orbit]

yeah that's actually a good one

[patent flame]

Idol doesn't do shit early

[alpine orbit]

Idol doesn't do shit early

[uneven edge]

yeah I’d say it’s a low-mid D tier joker

[proper spear]

idol just generally does nothing

[patent flame]

Wow ur right

It never does anything

[uneven edge]

F is too harsh when stuff like idol showman throwback exist

[patent flame]

Fuck idol and fuck the heart betrayer 💔

[proper spear]

bloodstone?

[alpine orbit]

throwback is more useful than idol

[patent flame]

Yes

[alpine orbit]

it uhh, does something

[uneven edge]

it still belongs in there

[uneven edge]

it’s so ass

all the real ones hate bloodstone

[alpine orbit]

ehhhhh idk i skip sometimes so throwback isn't that bad for me

[proper spear]

that it is

[alpine orbit]

bloodstone is F i don't care

bottom 5 joker

literally never procs when i need it to

[proper spear]

weird ancient joker

[alpine orbit]

when im farming it procs every hit

[brisk zinc]

chat should i get ecstacy to see how it affects my balatro performance

[left glade]

the universe asks me to play high cards

[uneven edge]

don’t even compare it to AJ

[alpine orbit]

i will not engage with this

[brisk zinc]

you just did

[proper spear]

no

[patent flame]

This is proof btw

I somehow managed to make this abysmal shit work in gold Stake

[alpine orbit]

i mean throwback has 1.5x mult sometimes

that's literally better than 1x mult (idol)

[patent flame]

3x mult throwback btw

I took standard tags

For holopeak

[alpine orbit]

i was also too harsh on stone joker

this thing

this thing is pretty good

im shocked

[proper spear]

yeah it’s good chips

[alpine orbit]

4 stones and i get +100 chips?

sign me the fuck up

[hearty acorn]

Do I copy Idol or Sock and Buskin?

[patent flame]

Hell yeah

[alpine orbit]

i used to think that you have to play those stones but playing pair builds really changed that

[hearty acorn]

I have the copy on sock but idk

[patent flame]

Literally outscales runner and castle

[vale fog]

chips gaming

[proper spear]

idol

[hearty acorn]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

idol if it's on the card you're playing

otherwise no point

[left glade]

i win

[patent flame]

The nefarious plant:

[proper spear]

not necessarily

[hearty acorn]

That build counteracts itself

[alpine orbit]

why do u have baron and photochad

this is so sad

[hearty acorn]

Well if you’re playing kings held in hand

[patent flame]

Also the amount of money u have is important too

[hearty acorn]

But if you just ignore the baron you’re fine

[left glade]

idk

[patent flame]

U need to have this motion .

[hearty acorn]

I figured the sock and buskin would be the same thing

Cause the card is getting triggered no matter what

Same amount of triggers

[uneven edge]

copy idol

[brisk zinc]

o shit i didn't even see your deck lol

ofc idol in that case

[patent flame]

If u have lucky cards probably best sock first

[hearty acorn]

Why wouldn’t it be the same thing as if I copied the sock

[patent flame]

Don't miss out on muhnee

[novel hearth]

just finished my 3rd gold stake run. Happy to see egg being useful outside of income

[hearty acorn]

Isn’t it same amount of triggers

[patent flame]

I'm not a mathematician... If only i can explain

[wicked grove]

eggbuckler LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

wait, i use eggbuckler

shortcut LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[novel hearth]

got it really early along with shortcut so why not?

[patent flame]

Have some respect on this combo 💔

[proper spear]

3 x2 triggers x 3 triggers= 9 triggers,
2 x2 triggers x 4 triggers = 8 triggers

so copying idol is better

[glossy carbon]

Hey !

How's everyone ?

[gilded condor]

its crazily fun in plasma

i had a marble + dna + stone joker run

4k chips on stone joker

[barren geyser]

Balatro X Fortnite collab when

[harsh owl]

...Dare I?

And yes, I'm using Throwback on ourple stake. FIGHT ME

[brisk zinc]

what would you sell tho

also what's the tb xmult

[harsh owl]

It's at 2.5

[brisk zinc]

crazy

i don't rly know what to sell in your case

[harsh owl]

Yeah, I got two really early polychrome tags so I didn't need to do the chips -> xmult pivot

[patent flame]

I'd sell the random poly joker

But that would make the score too balanced probably

[harsh owl]

Yeah

[patent flame]

If it's not plasma tho

I'd buy it

[harsh owl]

This run has had some insanely worth skip tags

Like what do you mean $40 handy tag???

I'm so glad I got back into this game

[barren hare]

is there any way i can go back a blind? i forgot to reroll

its seeded anyways im not tryna cheat

[quiet shell]

If any of you has c++ how long did it took?

[harsh owl]

Nope

Sowwy

[barren hare]

crazy i gotta waste an hour again to get here 😭

[harsh owl]

Damn

[scenic helm]

ya hate to see it

[slim junco]

Best starting shop

[scenic helm]

so good

[slim junco]

Especially since you can’t buy brainstorm

Not that it’d help that early

[scenic helm]

i mean its first shop i have time if i could've bought it

[slim junco]

Yeah true

[scenic helm]

that would be insane

[slim junco]

How much does hex sell for

[scenic helm]

only 2 😦

[autumn flower]

how do I win red stake

its not possible

it simply isn't

[scenic helm]

getting econ online early is necessary

[autumn flower]

what

[scenic helm]

your money

gotta get interest going too

[autumn flower]

econ online?

okay so getting money

[scenic helm]

yup

[reef crane]

like this?

[autumn flower]

see the strat i tried prev was just doing everything, then I got jokers and upgraded just one, i've tried only flush, only straight, only 2 pair with the 4 card joker thing

but the game fucks my ass every god damn time

[scenic helm]

buying everythning is whats screwing you

[scenic helm]

yes.

[autumn flower]

okok well I figured that much

I just finished a only 2 pair

I was on level 8

[sonic field]

sixth sense came in clutch (hex and ankh) now i just need 1 retrigger joker

[autumn flower]

I died ante 6

[scenic helm]

manifesting chad

[sonic field]

dang lol

[scenic helm]

thanks mods

[autumn flower]

okay I got a drool joker im doing purely flush

is there something I can try keeping in mind for red stake

[scenic helm]

thats good

[autumn flower]

like am I missing something cus I feel like i'm straight ass

I don't buy tarot cards tbh, I just focus on joker and planets

and the voucher

[stray dirge]

Do yall have the teirlist maker that I made this

[autumn flower]

oh shit

[stray dirge]

I need to change campfire

[autumn flower]

ohr also why do rare jokers suck ass

[tribal lintel]

jimbo s tier

🔥

[stray dirge]

Not all

[autumn flower]

what's the first one?

[scenic helm]

just resist spending money unless something rly good comes along or it helps your econ, do that until your drool joker isnt able to help you win blinds

[stray dirge]

In where

[autumn flower]

the tierlist

[stray dirge]

What teir

[autumn flower]

S+

[stray dirge]

Jimbo

[autumn flower]

what does it do?

isn't it the 4 mult

[stray dirge]

Plus 4 mult but it’s jimbo so s+

[autumn flower]

lmao okay gotchu

[scenic helm]

we love jimbo here

[stray dirge]

Mhm

[autumn flower]

no thats valid

[scenic helm]

i would disagree with chicot

[autumn flower]

is there a good video I can watch to learn

[scenic helm]

i just watch a lot of roffle and dr spected

[stray dirge]

No the needle and a lot are fucked with him

[scenic helm]

i mean id put it in a

[stray dirge]

Well it’s chicot he helps

[sonic field]

i went from 200 bucks to 20 and still no retrigger joker lol

[scenic helm]

for the fact of only "plant"

[sonic field]

ohh invis

[scenic helm]

love gambling

[autumn flower]

how is half joker D

[slim junco]

Campfires good if you have Econ

[stray dirge]

No what about the everything debuffed unless you sell a joker

[scenic helm]

it kinda sucks

[sonic field]

i hope it copies poly brainstorm

[scenic helm]

real, i made it through the plant with it

[stray dirge]

Yea I had a 6.75x

[autumn flower]

what's econ????

the card which says you can get upto 10 r

[scenic helm]

just depends on your build if you're relying on jokers, or cards

[autumn flower]

but isn't it based purely on luck

[stray dirge]

So yes s+

[slim junco]

Economy

Money

[scenic helm]

but for the most part you're correct. but it only shows up 1/5 times

[slim junco]

How much you have

[autumn flower]

oh

so having econ is just being rich

nice

[stray dirge]

Yea but don’t they all

[slim junco]

Yes

[scenic helm]

we can also disagree yk😂

[slim junco]

Also is that wee joker in S?

[stray dirge]

And agree

[stray dirge]

Mhm

Same with pants

[scenic helm]

interesting

[slim junco]

What’s it do again

[sonic field]

omg what do i do im barely winning

[scenic helm]

i would agree with pants to an extent

[stray dirge]

Chips for 2s

[slim junco]

Oh

Eh

[scenic helm]

only if your wee can get super big

[stray dirge]

I’ve seen some fun wee runs

[stray dirge]

And it’s baby jimbo

[slim junco]

I just couldn’t do twos

[slim junco]

What’s the far right one

[scenic helm]

seltzer replace invis

[autumn flower]

pareidolia is useless as is right?

[quiet shell]

You def need retriggers, could buy seltzer and voucher

[slim junco]

Yes

Only if you’re running a face build

[autumn flower]

but is it effective to buy it regardless

[scenic helm]

its good with biz card

[sonic field]

invis

[autumn flower]

biz

okay i'll just watch a yt vid

[stray dirge]

It’s pareidolia tho

I like him

[quiet shell]

I find it funny when i buy paradeloia and midas mask

[sonic field]

was thinking of replacing bp

[autumn flower]

true

[quiet shell]

Full gold deck

Useless tho

[stray dirge]

Also this is a list of what has worked with me

[sonic field]

what about vampire?

[autumn flower]

why does your game look so glitchy and badass

[scenic helm]

true, i think that's better

[jovial elk]

tbf vamp midas is one of the golden combos

[sonic field]

settings

[stray dirge]

Settings

[autumn flower]

how tf is mrbones in B

am I tripping

[stray dirge]

I might change mine

[autumn flower]

sweet ty

[quiet shell]

Oh yeah but that implies finding 3 exact jokers and finding a 2 combo is already hard

[stray dirge]

He’s helped me

[slim junco]

Mr bones saves me

[autumn flower]

yeah so why is it in B

also tf does it's req even mean

[jovial elk]

i forgor there were even half of these jokers in this game istg

[autumn flower]

it's saved me every time regardless

[autumn flower]

lol i'm just starting out so i'm getting a select few

[stray dirge]

Because I don’t use him often

[autumn flower]

wtf 😭

[quiet shell]

Me with common jokers

[stray dirge]

I don’t use him but he’s good

So b

[autumn flower]

what's this mean though?

[slim junco]

If you score 25% you’re safe

[autumn flower]

this is wild

[jovial elk]

no i mean that cause i just finished challenge 20 and haven't used a joker in weeks ;-;

[autumn flower]

okay no way i'm getting under 25

so it's literally the mvp

[slim junco]

If you get a quarter of the required chips it saves you

[scenic helm]

if blind is 10k, if you score 2.5k, you dont die

[autumn flower]

oh shit

well i'm tryna finish red stake rn

thats op

my S+

[jovial elk]

fair

i need to reacquaint myself with jokers lol

[quiet shell]

I golded sticker mr bones by accident haha

[sonic field]

lets go triple poly bs

[autumn flower]

Doubles all probabilities means what?

[scenic helm]

hugeeeee

[autumn flower]

ante 10 am I losing it

[slim junco]

Increases the chance

So

[autumn flower]

chance of what though, only if you have those few jokers w the chance thing r

[slim junco]

For wheel of fortune is normally 1 in 4
Now it’s 2 in 4

[sonic field]

also lucky cards

[autumn flower]

what's wheel of fortune

[slim junco]

And boosts luck cards

[autumn flower]

ohr lucky cards ion use tho

[slim junco]

Tarot

[autumn flower]

ohr

[jovial elk]

it can be pretty busted on luck cards fr

[autumn flower]

not for me tho

[sonic field]

1 in 4 chance to give foil holo or poly to a random joker

[autumn flower]

is there another tierlist

[quiet shell]

Lucky cards increase chance to hit glass cards to break and wheel of fortune

[sonic field]

its a tarot card

[slim junco]

It also breaks glass easier

[slim junco]

Ik

[autumn flower]

ohr yeah

[autumn flower]

kinda wish I bought it now nvm

[sonic field]

glass joker time lool

[quiet shell]

Also there is the red dice joker that 1.5x score for each heart card played every 1 in 2 with dice is guaranteed

[slim junco]

I mean if you got canio and glass face it would be big

[jovial elk]

thats my fav combo ngl

[autumn flower]

woah

[jovial elk]

especially if you get a boss reroll voucher

[autumn flower]

that's pretty mental

[scenic helm]

love a lucky bloodstone

[slim junco]

I still need to unlock lockers

[sonic field]

i love when lucky cards give mult and money in 1 proc

[quiet shell]

Oh forgot its name

[quiet shell]

Solid combo ngl

[scenic helm]

SO REAL

[quiet shell]

Op in checkered deck

[scenic helm]

the dopamine

[jovial elk]

real

[stray dirge]

I fixed it

[slim junco]

I love me checkered deck

[jovial elk]

king in S+ feels a bit generous but fair enough

[scenic helm]

i love it too, but it defo makes the game less fun as you get better

[slim junco]

Yeah

[quiet shell]

Hits better with hanging chad haha

[stray dirge]

What about e runs

[scenic helm]

so real and when you have oops and get 100 money in one hand 😄

[autumn flower]

wtf is the point of the nothing voucher

[slim junco]

Buy it ten times and you get the voucher that gives you a free joker slot

[jovial elk]

i won't deny the potential to be based but it relys on one card and needs to be duped and such

just a lot of setup needed

[quiet shell]

Basically buy it to unlock an op voucher

[autumn flower]

buy it 10 times

tf

[slim junco]

Yes

[autumn flower]

I thought there might be something like that

in one game tho?

there's ante 8 though wtf

[jovial elk]

like i'd put it in S like just cause its not as applicable in all runs thats it

[sonic field]

buy it go to main menu rejoin the run and buy it again until you unlock the voucher

[quiet shell]

Im having a hard time trying to get gold sticker on bean

[autumn flower]

💀

wow

[quiet shell]

I had the chance but nowhere on earth did it say that bean expires before stickers 💀

Couldve skipped ngl

[autumn flower]

this stuff confuses me what does it even mean

like if I have 5 jokers it removes one for a rare?

and the other one removes all of them and just replaces it with a random joker?

[green thunder]

No it wont let u use it

[autumn flower]

that's

so stupid

whats the point like lategame

[quiet shell]

U have to free 1 joker spot

[green thunder]

Ankh duplicates a random joker

[autumn flower]

OH

WAIT THAT SO GOOD

sorry

[quiet shell]

Generally not worth it unless you low on cash

[green thunder]

But destoys the rest

[autumn flower]

can you guys recc

I really wanna get red stake finished tonight

[quiet shell]

Skip

Or sell the least important joker for wraith if you ddont mind the -23$

[autumn flower]

imagine 2 bonesd

[autumn flower]

which one

[quiet shell]

Doesnt do much

[sonic field]

bruh i need hanging chad quickly

[green thunder]

Depends om ur deck

[autumn flower]

but like all my jokers are good rn

[autumn flower]

7m am I losing it

[orchid raft]

hope you can find it

[green thunder]

7m isn't bad

[quiet shell]

Just skip the chances of getting a useful rare joker with your build is low

[autumn flower]

yeah okay i'll just watch a youtube tutorial later

[green thunder]

I can find photo but I can find CHAD

[autumn flower]

I was thinking of using ankh on misprint and removing but all of my jokers are good rn r

do u reckon I remove mr bones and get another misprint

[quiet shell]

Nah

[autumn flower]

alr so skip

[quiet shell]

Ankh destroys the rest of your jokers

[autumn flower]

oh wait

[sonic field]

seems like i lose at ante 12 small blind like every single run

[autumn flower]

i'm

no I have issues you saved me ty

[quiet shell]

No worries

[green thunder]

The way the ankh works is that it destroys all the other jokers but the 1 it copies

[sonic field]

me when eternal

[green thunder]

My best hand is e13 and that was a decent run

[stark oxide]

Erm does anyone know what happemd here and how can I fix it?

[tranquil oak]

Eternal Madness is where it’s at

[hoary kernel]

you need some sort of multiplicative joker
something with mult but in a red box

rn you're justgoing to struggle without that

[hoary kernel]

its cryptid idk what you expected

your run is over when
a) you get bored
b) game breaks/crashes

[stark oxide]

Aww

[sonic field]

seeded runs be like

[stark oxide]

No fix then

[sonic field]

modded runs too

[hoary kernel]

thats why i never do seeded ;)

[quiet shell]

I kinda want to do the seeded negative perkeo haha

[green thunder]

Try restarting ur game then continueing

[quiet shell]

Just to see how much of a difference it is
