[timid cloak]

I wasnt saying you, I was mainly talking to qou, you were just the one to respond

[solemn elm]

then reply to the person you're talking about, or use their name.

[timid cloak]

Qou knows im talking to them

[patent flame]

If I was bullying u this whole time I'd be saying shit like "Haha u suck cannot beat gold stake shyt chopped shyt no naneinf" which is like none of these messages

I talked about the general mindset of players that makes them not win most runs in this game

[eager vessel]

got red deck gold stake!

[patent flame]

I can assure u losing is anything but fun

[patent flame]

🎉

[solemn elm]

you have been quite mean though, so I understand taking it as 'bullying'
it wouldn't hurt if you thought more about what you said, and avoided coming across as hostile in conversations like this where you don't already have good rapport with them

[timid cloak]

You said this which is mean even if you didn't intend it to be

Also this is a generalization which is what lilo was getting mad at me for

[eager vessel]

got checkered , blue deck, and now red deck. going to try to get yellow now.

[solemn elm]

yellow deck my beloved

[timid cloak]

I love yellow deck

[eager vessel]

me too.

money is almost everything in this game

[timid cloak]

Exactly

[patent flame]

This occasionally happens here i wouldn't say it if it ain't true

[timid cloak]

But theres not a way to know that its true

[solemn elm]

there are nicer ways to say things while still getting your message across / not making people want to stop talking to you because you're being hostile

that doesn't mean be nice all the time, just don't be so negative

[timid cloak]

How do you know that that person copes about their luck

(You dont, they just sent something they thought was funny and you decided to start a whole toxic lecture)

[green sparrow]

You insult ppl just to insult ppl

[timid cloak]

If they reject critique then you can ignore them

[eager vessel]

i actually do have a question. i’ve been brain rotted by playing too much checkered deck and i’m trying to fix it. what hands are most optimal to play in early stages?

[timid cloak]

Straights are the most common with no deck fixing

But full houses and flushes work if you have most of the cards

[patent flame]

In checkered it's obviously Flushes

But they're not good long term besides for ancient joker

[solemn elm]

full houses, straights and flushes early

until you get direction, that is

[patent flame]

But ancient isn't good in checkered

[eager vessel]

yes.. but that’s the problem i’ve been playing tooo much checkered deck where i only know how to build around flushes.

[patent flame]

Start playing other decks probably

Smth like yellow

Helps u diverse ur playstyle

[eager vessel]

well that’s what i’m doing. i’ve beat gold stake blue deck and now red deck trying to get better

[patent flame]

Oh goo luck

U can start playing for rtb grimbo supernova with pairs

Just an example thou

[eager vessel]

also, what tags should I skip.. i know it’s very dependent on what i need but what are some safer options?

[green sparrow]

Investment tag ante 1 and that’s abt it lol

There’s some niche other use cases for tags but 99.9% of the time ur just skipping for that

[patent flame]

Skipping with no reason is run murder

[eager vessel]

yeah. i’ve gotten burned by skipping too much. especially on the fucking negative tags 🤣 it seems so easy to skip that one but it always seems to fail 🤣

[patent flame]

And edition skips are never good

[eager vessel]

and i cannot beat black deck gold stake its been like 2 weeks of trying now

[strange meadow]

id beg to disagree at least early-game when youre gettin yourself situated

even just sumt small like a holo joker will help you stay alive an ante or two so you can have more time to get other things youll need

[eager vessel]

a holo joker early is an easy two antes clear

[strange meadow]

exactly

[timid cloak]

How many seeds are there again

[strange meadow]

at least three

[timid cloak]

True

Can there be os and 0s

[strange meadow]

i wanna say the game doesnt use every letter of the alphabet

[eager vessel]

agreed. defo atleast 3

[strange meadow]

i imagine itd be hard to tell apart a 0 or an O in balatro's text font

[timid cloak]

Yeah but did local thunk think about that

[eager vessel]

what’s y’all’s favourite early game joker to get?

[timid cloak]

Michael is my favorite first joker

[eager vessel]

very good one.

i honestly like rocket, even though it’s not a scoring joker it really helps with econ

[timid cloak]

Yeah

For econ it really depends for me

[eager vessel]

mail in rebate always a pick up too

[strange meadow]

i like tryin to get those scalable ones as early as possible, like spare trousers or hologram

[timid cloak]

Generally rebate is the guarenteed pick but I kinda will take any money

[strange meadow]

rebate is probably the best econ joker in terms of like, flat potential per round

[eager vessel]

my red deck gold stake win was with hologram and spare trousers

[solemn elm]

not in naturally rolled seeds

so in unseeded runs, you can only roll 8 character seeds, and no 0/O

so 34^8 seeds you can roll naturally

[timid cloak]

So theres a bunch of seeds that are seeded runs only

[eager vessel]

that’s a lot.

[timid cloak]

Thats strange

[strange meadow]

is "JIMBOWINS" a real seed

like the one from the teaser

[grim mist]

what did 0s and Os do to localthunk

[strange meadow]

awww...

[solemn elm]

you would need to input 9 characters, which isnt possible in vanilla

[timid cloak]

They look the same which makes typing it wierd

[eager vessel]

what are the details for the update, i know the release date is not announced but what are they changing?

[strange meadow]

thats so sad

[solemn elm]

yeah theyre not able to be rolled for clarity, and even in seeded runs 0/O are the same

[timid cloak]

Matador rework and chad is gonna be uncommon

[grim mist]

a lot of gameplay changes

[timid cloak]

Idk abt anything else

[solemn elm]

proof for the chad uncommon change?

matador rework, blue stake rework, and at least 2 new jokers have been confirmed (not what they are, just that there will be at least 2 new jokers)

[eager vessel]

but i like chad common

[solemn elm]

other stuff is just speculation iirc

[eager vessel]

made riff raff so awesome when you got photochad

[timid cloak]

Idk i thought i heard doc say that maybe he was reading a chat

[strange meadow]

riff raff is kinda neat

[grim mist]

what if blue stake gave you -2 discards per round instead of -1 /j

[timid cloak]

Yeah its guarenteed golden joker but it could also give you good jokers

Cause lowest sell value other than jimbo is 2

[solemn elm]

riff raff is incredible tempo

[strange meadow]

yea but only if you have slots open

[solemn elm]

which is why a1-3 its the best joker you can find

[eager vessel]

riff raff is also kinda econ at the beginning.

[timid cloak]

Yeah but you will absolutely have slots open in early

[strange meadow]

yeahh

[grim mist]

riff raff gave me runner on ante 1 it was pretty awesome

[strange meadow]

idk me personally i try n fill my slots early as possible

[solemn elm]

eternal riff is worth taking on most decks, the exceptions being painted, and yellow depending on the options youve already been presented with

[eager vessel]

i have a painted deck balatro playing cards

[strange meadow]

i kinda like golden joker more than riff raff when it comes to economy tbh

it feels more consistent

[timid cloak]

My priority is econ so anything that doesnt give econ is a skip and I dont really ever get more than like 2 econs before ante 4

Well obviously I need one scorer

So i dont die

But yk what I mean

[strange meadow]

have we never considered just bribing jimbo to let us win

maybe theres a bribe jimbo button

yknow like tipping the dealer

[timid cloak]

Jimbo is a pro baseball player hes probably rich

(Baseball card is signed Jim joker so)

[eager vessel]

anyone beat eggless omelet?

[timid cloak]

Doc did probably

[strange meadow]

actually wait this could totally be a joker wth

like a joker that lets you pay a lil fee to skew cards in your favor

like lite deckfixing

[timid cloak]

50% less interest and 50% less blind money but 50% less blind requirement

[jolly dune]

Alguien español?

[subtle grove]

Yo

Te recomiendo hablar en inglés

[jolly dune]

Sabes como se desbloquea el blueprint

[solemn elm]

a 2x thats effectively always rental, but it can be actually rental

[timid cloak]

Also honestly mime is really good for 8 ante

[subtle grove]

No

[jolly dune]

😦

[timid cloak]

It can be good money and good scoring and good planets it can do like everything

[subtle grove]

Pregunta con el traductor

[eager vessel]

once had a abandoned deck red seal gold cards with mime and i felt like jeff bezos every shop

[timid cloak]

I never see anybody take mime early but mime alone can get you through the first few antes as long as you get some packs

[jolly dune]

how to unlock the blueprint

[timid cloak]

And then it can also be a ton of money

[timid cloak]

Beat ante 8 unseeded

[strange meadow]

aw fuck i wish my spanish was better

[timid cloak]

Right?

[strange meadow]

necesitas ganar el ante 8

[jolly dune]

Pense que era descartando una escalera real xd

[timid cloak]

My 100 day duolingo streak is sadly not enough to speak much spanish

[strange meadow]

dude i was in a uni-level spanish class

eesh

[timid cloak]

I feel less bad now

[strange meadow]

"i thought i had to discard(?) a ladder(???)"

dawg i am struggling

i should be better at this

[timid cloak]

Ladder could be scaler

The other one could be delete or sell

[strange meadow]

i think its about a straight flush

one of the things is to discard a straight flush

[small hemlock]

Chat...

[timid cloak]

Thats for brainstorm

[strange meadow]

which is like blueprint

[timid cloak]

And it has to be a royal flush

[strange meadow]

so itd make sense if they thought they had to discard that

[strange meadow]

i spose real is pretty similar to royal

[timid cloak]

Yeah

[small hemlock]

I wrote "perkeo" on google to yknow, get a new pfp

And i found this
What the fuck is this
This mf's name is Clemens Perkeo

[timid cloak]

Thats the inspiration for perkeo

[small hemlock]

No, my femboy perkeo headcanon is ruined 💀

[strange meadow]

your what.

[timid cloak]

Nuh uh perkeo from balatro is a different person ong

[small hemlock]

How can i ever unsee this now

[strange meadow]

yeah nah thats just like a dude

twink death was years ago for him

[timid cloak]

Arguably not true

[strange meadow]

look at that photo there n tell me thats a feminine guy right there

[timid cloak]

Look at this one though

[solemn elm]

hes just not dolled up today smh

[strange meadow]

ohhh

[small hemlock]

Doll up perkeo

My beloved

[strange meadow]

i have a lot of questions

firstly. where can i find more of this

n secondly how is it that literally every fandom ever has the obligatory "twinkified lore accurate" version of whoever exists when the reference is literally a single photo on a card in a poker game

[strange meadow]

dont goat react me okay i know what i am

[timid cloak]

😭

[strange meadow]

i dont need this

so judgemental...

i weep

[timid cloak]

Goat means greatest of all time

[strange meadow]

cry sob sniffle

[small hemlock]

It can also mean throat goat...

☝

[strange meadow]

why we associate the greatest of all time with a lowly stinky farm animal ill never know

[timid cloak]

Its an acronym

[strange meadow]

[small hemlock]

I decided to do a joke run, got photochat and scary face...

NO

DON'T PLANT REACT

[strange meadow]

oooh scaryyy

oooh

[strange meadow]

well like. yea. but like. even still. smelly animal

[timid cloak]

Goats arent smelly ive seen them irl

Theyre Lil dudes

[patent flame]

Smells nice I've been to a barn before

And their shit isn't as contagious cuz they only eat grass

[small hemlock]

Smiley, chad chad photo and hologram

We're cooking

[brazen lake]

😱

[umbral hazel]

I'm jonkling it ☃️

[molten horizon]

I just needed a ballot, but it never appeared.

[willow kite]

calling it ballot is crazy, but ok

[timid cedar]

It quite literally is a ballot, so it isn't that crazy

[molten horizon]

The original name is very long so it's better to call it ballot

[willow kite]

Hanging chad, or just say chad

[patent flame]

This should be a lesson to not rely on jokers that potentially never appear

Understand the concept "The shop does not give what u want"

[jolly dune]

What do you recommend to me to be able to win balatro?

[patent flame]

Supernova...

Check the run info for how many times u play a hand type

[molten horizon]

What does a supernova actually do?

I never used it

[patent flame]

Gives mult based on the amount of times u play a hand type

So the best usage for this joker is playing easy and consistent draw hand types like pairs

[olive ferry]

Before glass?

[slim junco]

what am i missing

[valid badge]

best combo?

[willow kite]

1 kidney bean

[willow kite]

nah jk, its juggle tag and Top-up tag

[outer swift]

Morning yall happy Thursday, hope you guys have a good one.

[slim junco]

ah

[meager plank]

I think instead of copying the leftmost joker, brainstorm should copy whatever joke you’re thinking of, doesn’t matter if you have it or not

[willow kite]

i had to slept 13 hours to not feel tired

[small hemlock]

thinks of most people's ability to pull girls

Best joke ever

[meager plank]

[willow kite]

thinks of my leftmost joker

[meager plank]

Woah dude.

[small hemlock]

What if i think about Brainstorm

[outer swift]

Goddamn 13 hours is no joke

[meager plank]

Nothing happens sadly

I tried that one in testing

[willow kite]

well congratulations you now have 2 brainstorms that do nothing

[meager plank]

My brain exploded

[small hemlock]

Thinks about obelisk

[meager plank]

No

[willow kite]

how did you survived that explosion?

[valid badge]

would you lose?

[meager plank]

I’m an obelisk hater, brain exploding isn’t a very big explosion

[valid badge]

nah, id win

[small hemlock]

Skill issue ☝

[willow kite]

me too

[valid badge]

i won in 1 hand

[small hemlock]

Skill issue on the game's part
Cause they tried to stop you, yet they failed

[meager plank]

Have you considered discarding

[valid badge]

why

[willow kite]

La planta right now:

[valid badge]

i won

like

[meager plank]

[willow kite]

yo wheres the other half of yours screen? did it grow legs?

[queen timber]

?

[meager plank]

Hahahahaa I actually laughed at this

[valid badge]

im playing secret challenge

[willow kite]

that was like the worst joke i ever made

[valid badge]

every 2 boss blinds the ante is cut in half

[meager plank]

It was so funny dude

[willow kite]

thanks xd

[meager plank]

I’m still laughing at it

That’s like the best joke I’ve ever seen

[meager plank]

This is what happens when you sell DNA

[willow kite]

i dont understand, like the dna turns into a mini blackhole?

[meager plank]

Yes

[willow kite]

i still dont understand the logic xd

[solar jacinth]

Hi

[willow kite]

Greetings

[meager plank]

The DNA has nowhere to go, it decided to hypercompress itself until it is a mass so dense that it starts to crumble the fabric of the universe

Or other times it just goes back in the shop

Is it worth the risk?

[jolly ravine]

showman is already really good it doesn’t need another buff

[meager plank]

Showman should make it so you can get whatever joker you want whenever you want

[olive ferry]

nahh

[jolly ravine]

new spectral card that turns every card in your deck into a single suit and rank

but -100, debt possible

and you might kill your build

as rare as black hole

[olive ferry]

the downside is that it will shock you with 500 miliamps of current and beats you up

[jolly ravine]

.

[olive ferry]

-6 hand size

🙏

literally useless to use those cards now 😭

[jolly ravine]

lets be fr I don’t think this is a bad idea

spectral cards are supposed to have game changing effects

[meager plank]

New spectral card that sends a power surge to your device and breaks it

But you get x2 mult

[jolly ravine]

is it worth it?

[meager plank]

About as worth it as making DNA a mini black hole I’d say

Selling DNA might break a very large doll house.

[clear locust]

hello baltroids

[slim junco]

fuck you

i was too scared to reroll

i was also trying to unlock random ass jokers

one of them was play 4 7 of clubs

[wanton steeple]

love when a good run ends because after 10 lucky cards not one procs money to get a boss reroll voucher until I get on the boss

😄

literally would have won if the game proc money a round before

and just as a final fu from the game it gave me a hermit on my final hand with 8 ball proc

almost like this game knew how to tell me to go f myself

Alright back to playing

[leaden walrus]

Chat I hit my first billions :3

[obsidian gull]

Omg I just found really good seed with perkio tribulate and canio

[slim junco]

any hope for this run?

[obsidian gull]

Wait I'ma make a thread in like mevr chat

[wanton steeple]

it's white stake so you should have an easy run with that

[leaden walrus]

Personally as a certified gambler
Since you got 1.5 mult on the delayed gratification, I say go for 4 of a kind

[slim junco]

i got straight flush

[leaden walrus]

Or just flushes since that's easier and a lot less risky

[slim junco]

what the fuck is this

[sleek kraken]

space

you're in the solar system now

[leaden walrus]

Damn, mods work quick here
That's nice

[slim junco]

if i reroll and dont get anything i swear

[leaden walrus]

Tbhhh idk if a reroll is a good idea
You only got 7 dollars

[slim junco]

hot ass

more… precious…

holy shit

[lunar geyser]

on glass chalange

[honest canopy]

Guys it's finally over. Thank you to anyone who tuned into my streams, hung out or chatted. It was a fun journey! Onto naneinf, win streaks and (eventually) 1.1 !

[slim junco]

i fucked up because i had no flat mult 💔

[waxen skiff]

peak.

[hard dust]

hello

uhh

[willow kite]

bro did completionist^4

[worthy dagger]

finally over

[honest canopy]

<@&1133519078540185692> someone seems to be trying to speedrun a ban 🤔

[digital tusk]

anything else?

[supple mountain]

yes

[worthy dagger]

funny thing: it took 199 wins but I had to get that extra win number 200 to get the achievement

[supple mountain]

i like cracking femboys

that’s all

[digital tusk]

im not even mad at you im just disappointed :( please reconsider how you spend your time and how your actions affect others

[analog river]

just called out of work for the second day in a row to spend more time with my partner before she goes on vacation

[digital tusk]

i’ll time them out for a week so they have time to consider

if any other mods are feeling harsher please moderate at your discretion i don’t mind

[willow kite]

What^3?

[patent flame]

I'm a femboy ur weeird don't text me

[willow kite]

say that to thanos

[austere ravine]

was there an update?

for 1.1?

[patent flame]

No

[austere ravine]

thought want to make sure

[willow kite]

now that you asked, it got deleted

[austere ravine]

how come?

[lavish marsh]

Can’t a simple man just play flushes withought the temptations of photoChad

[wanton steeple]

Photochad failed me in a run

Friendship ended with photochad

[lavish marsh]

I’m kinda doing both Ngl

Cuz I also got an oops

[glad oriole]

its better to take it

[lavish marsh]

I did

[glad oriole]

droll joker kinda sux

[wanton steeple]

Curious

[lavish marsh]

I’m running photochad and bloodstone

[wanton steeple]

If the new update comes out before you get C++

Does everyone who hasn't finished C++ have to gold stake the extra jokers to get the achievement

Or will it be it's own thing

[wintry patrol]

i'm pretty sure localthunk has said there won't be anything like that

because it's just confusing to new players

[wanton steeple]

TF2 moment

[wintry patrol]

so you'd probably just have to gold stake the new jokers

[wanton steeple]

If there's a QOL I'd love

It is a progress tracker for gold stakes stickers

Instead of overall stickers

Would make it easier to track the achievement

[wintry patrol]

yeah it would be nice if you could like
only show missing gold stake stickers

[wanton steeple]

Instead of going page to page

[wintry patrol]

there's a website you can put your save file into to check it but that doesn't work for mobile or console

[wanton steeple]

It actually would

[wanton steeple]

You just need away to access the save file

The game save file is basically universally the same file

[wintry patrol]

yeah the issue here is it's way, way harder to access said file outside of pc

[wanton steeple]

Android technically possible

Just need a work around

But way too much for the average user

It's why I use balatro mobile makee

I can transfer my saves back and forth

From my phone to PC and vice versa

[raven trench]

does bus stop reset if u score a face card?

[lavish marsh]

Do u mean ride the bus?

[glad oriole]

reading the joker explains the joker

(yes it does)

[raven trench]

no it just says +1 molt for each hand you play without a scoring face card, it doesn't imply it resets, unlike other jokers do, hence why I asked

[wanton steeple]

Yes it resets

It should explain it resets

[minor iris]

👅

[wanton steeple]

Free DNA

And doesn't hog a slot

[minor iris]

so fire

😔

unfortunate

[glad oriole]

would be even cooler if dna was good

[wanton steeple]

Still waiting on the run where I get Blueprint/brainstorm, stone joker, DNA, chad, and Marble

On plasma

[minor iris]

L ragebait

[glad oriole]

-_-

just because uou dont agree with what im saying doesnt mean what im saying is ragebait

the word’s lost all meaning atp

like is it so implausible to you that someone has a different opinion that the only logical conclusion is that they’re attempting to rage bait

[honest canopy]

Why is DNA not good in that situation?

[glad oriole]

well its just generally a pretty mediocre joker

and since i have no other context im just assuming its not very good in that situation

[honest canopy]

Wait so you think it's not good in general or in that situation only?

[glad oriole]

its not very good in general

there are some situations where its worth taking

but its not good 100% of the time

[wanton steeple]

DNA good ur just wrong

DNA make copy of good card

Therefore good

[honest canopy]

Several Rare jokers can be bait in the wrong situation

[glad oriole]

its not as simple as that

what if i dont have a good card

[wanton steeple]

Skill issue

[glad oriole]

then its not worth wasting a hand for

[wanton steeple]

[glad oriole]

shut up

[wanton steeple]

Just draw a good card

[glad oriole]

come up with better arguments

[lavish marsh]

I forgot how much the scaling starts to get crazy at anti 12 lol

[wanton steeple]

Yeah most builds won't make it past ante 12

Without a good legendary setup

I would have gone into like ante 15

But the plant killer my run

[tender shuttle]

balatro discord server

[wanton steeple]

Because it took out my glass cards

Really curious about the wild card rework

[glad oriole]

you dont need a legendary to pass ante 12 brah

[minor iris]

sure as hell helps though

negative egg :)

[wanton steeple]

That's why I said most builds

Majority of builds fail at ante 12

And if ur lucky ante 13

My two pair build wasn't making it past ante 12 until I got triboulet

My glass kings and queens were e# on ante 6 lol

Would have gotten further than ante 13 if wasn't for the damn plant killing my run

[vivid palm]

c hair

[glad oriole]

that depends on the legendary

[cinder marlin]

yu

[lavish marsh]

Wait wild cards are getting reworked?

[wanton steeple]

supposedly

pretty sure localthunk said himself they were

[lavish marsh]

Hopefully they do because right now they are pretty weak imo

[wanton steeple]

yeah

they get killed off by every boss that disables a suits

only joker they'd probably be useful with is Ancient Joker

[glad oriole]

so true

[wanton steeple]

but good lucky getting an entire deck of wilds

to make acient joker work with wilds

lol

[meager spade]

its real balala hour

anyway i really wanted that Pack 3 trailer version of Balatro theme song it sounded like the ragtime version of it and i like it cause its creepy but i guess no one mentioned it i will

[earnest summit]

w

[near yew]

do i keep playing high cards to boost him or do i start playing two pairs every hand

[uneven edge]

what’s the incentive for pivoting

[glad oriole]

both

[near yew]

its my only leveled up hand

[glad oriole]

play higj cards to scale and two pairs to score

[near yew]

at what point do i fall short and die

[glad oriole]

idk

[uneven edge]

you need to find x mult

[glad oriole]

if u get an xmult u should be okay

[near yew]

true

[uneven edge]

if your castle is at a decent chip level then planet scaling shouldnt be a game changer

[near yew]

localthunk give me a xmuly plz

[uneven edge]

you have mult sorted out

[near yew]

120 its not so bad

[uneven edge]

yeah thats good

[brisk zinc]

they should add a joker that gives 1x mult if hand contains a high card

[merry girder]

guys.

[near yew]

well i have jimbob

[uneven edge]

so best joker in the game?

[brisk zinc]

yes

[merry girder]

I'm sorry but I'm I need to show you guys sumn

[uneven edge]

fire

[brisk zinc]

your +mult is sorted

[merry girder]

peak arrived

[brisk zinc]

[near yew]

dies to psychic, ZU tier

[brisk zinc]

all hands contain a high card

[uneven edge]

how does high cards die to psychic

[near yew]

uts high

the psychic fucks up their mind and scare them

[uneven edge]

true

[brisk zinc]

this is a high card that has 5 cards

one of the best

[uneven edge]

bro literally got handed the win

kinda

[near yew]

i see

what do i replace

[brisk zinc]

summit probably

you already have enough flat mult from rtb

[near yew]

alright

[proper mortar]

+ hologram>>>>

[brisk zinc]

certificate and marble joker pair well with it too

[near yew]

the fish

🤔

[brisk zinc]

try to beat it in one hand

gets very annoying if you can't

especially if ur playing big hands

[near yew]

oh i thought it was EVERYTHING

i might kiss hologram on its hot lips

i get it now

[near yew]

i guess i could

[brisk zinc]

yea that basically upgrades hologram every single round

but also your deck will be full of stone cards

you win some you lose some

[near yew]

its not going to far anyway

hmmmmm

illkill to the moon

[brisk zinc]

yeah

don't need 2 money jokers on ante 8

unless you plan on going endless

[near yew]

wooo

[brisk zinc]

yay

first blue stake?

[near yew]

i feel smarter now

third after plasma and checkered

[brisk zinc]

ah nice

[near yew]

so first without a broken deck

[brisk zinc]

wait i haven't even done blue stake on red deck yet

[slim junco]

What's the best deck to play?

[brisk zinc]

whichever you enjoy the most

my most played is ghost deck

[near yew]

i like anagllyph

[brisk zinc]

this might become a funny run

[near yew]

cryptid?

[brisk zinc]

yes

[near yew]

crazy

[brisk zinc]

need a break from grinding every deck to gold stake

okay lmao

the run has become funny

imagine pareidolia now

[uneven edge]

surprised no one hit the "erm #⚙・modding-general please" yet

[rigid canyon]

Best joker? There is one right answer also I'm not biased

[brisk zinc]

eternal jimbo

[rigid canyon]

It's clearly cartomancer

[brisk zinc]

never would've guessed

[rigid canyon]

A lot of people say that

They just don't know about him

He is the goat

(Not biased btw)

[brisk zinc]

nah i like him too

[rigid canyon]

[deep grail]

[robust warren]

Can you DM the mod to me too

[brisk zinc]

[tribal scaffold]

[rain tartan]

BRO THE PLANT CAN SCREW OFF

I JUST HAD A CRAZY PHOTO CHAD AND HE KILLED ME ON ANTE 8 ;((((

I was scoring almost E's

[cinder marlin]

hi

[rain tartan]

2x blueprint, brainstorm, photo, hanging chad

[livid basin]

can the plant even come on ante 8?

[glad oriole]

hai

[rain tartan]

Yeah

[livid basin]

but isnt that the finisher blind?

[rain tartan]

It came on ante 8

[ancient radish]

what are your go to's for plasma? im on third run and find out going full chips is key but fails at high rounds

[rain tartan]

It can come on any boss blind on a multiple of 8

That's when the finisher boss blinds can show up

[rain tartan]

I go for all mult

[white otter]

got my first soul!

[rain tartan]

Because of xmult

[outer gorge]

congrats

[livid basin]

the finisher blind is on ante 8?

[rain tartan]

Yeah

[brisk zinc]

every ante divisible by 8 🤓

[livid basin]

but you got the plant on ante 8?

[white otter]

AND A PERKEO

WTFF

[livid basin]

nice

[rain tartan]

That's what I said already 🤓

[brisk zinc]

didn't see :ner

[rain tartan]

I just said I did

[brisk zinc]

d:

[livid basin]

but that shouldnt be possible

[brisk zinc]

more holos

[rain tartan]

But it happens all the time

It is entirely possible

[livid basin]

sure you didnt get it on ante 7 then progressed into ante 8?

yeah

[rain tartan]

No

[livid basin]

we got trib

[rain tartan]

Was trib a good hit for you

[livid basin]

no

[rain tartan]

Imagine brainstorm

[livid basin]

yeah

sock and buskin aswell

[rain tartan]

Sock would go crazy

[livid basin]

but the plant on ante 8 isnt possible

you sure it wasnt the leaf?

[rain tartan]

No

Face cards debuffed

Plant

[livid basin]

but that just cant happen on ante 8

[rain tartan]

But it did

[brisk zinc]

yea it's not possible

[livid basin]

468 million on four of a kind

[rain tartan]

I didn't have the voucher to send you forward an ante on ante 7

[livid basin]

there is no forward voucher

[rain tartan]

Oh sry

I meant back

So I don't know how I got The Plant but I did

[livid basin]

no

[strong prairie]

you can get plant on ante 8

by getting plant on ante 9 then going backwards one ante

[livid basin]

oh

yeah

thats true

[brisk zinc]

but if he just said he didn't have that voucher

[rain tartan]

I don't remember taking it how can I check my vouchers

[livid basin]

oh yeah

20 dollars

[livid basin]

run info

[strong prairie]

run info -> vouchers

[rain tartan]

Im on the death screen

So I don't think I can

[strong prairie]

yeah not anymore

[livid basin]

PLEASE

[rain tartan]

That shop tho

[livid basin]

3rd invis

[brisk zinc]

oops think he on the team

[rain tartan]

Another blueprint

I'm summoning it

[livid basin]

another holo

8x

[rain tartan]

Another blueprint can copy whatever you want

[livid basin]

i got holo

im saying

[rain tartan]

Oh

Not bad tho

What ante you on

[livid basin]

selling for sock or brain

12

trying to get alot of kings

[rain tartan]

Ooh

Keep cooking

[livid basin]

e11 with level 1 five of kind

on the trib

blueprints

[rain tartan]

Cooking

[livid basin]

i have a few blue seals

about a billion with high card

2 with enough steel cards

[uneven edge]

purple stake+ is a huge focus on x mult

[livid basin]

big loss

painted deck time

troubadour

big hands

big 12 actually

12 hands

size

oh yeah

[brisk zinc]

get a baron now

[livid basin]

im cooked

i dead

[brisk zinc]

forgot to read the boss blind part 897545

[livid basin]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

nvm i didn't even have a reroll voucher so it wouldn't have mattered anyway

well that's enough balatro for today

or at least like a few hours

i'm not addicted

[dry bay]

is this the extra credit mod or what?

[glad oriole]

cryptid

[sharp compass]

Wdym

[brisk zinc]

cryptid mod

[sharp compass]

Yeah cryptid

[rain tartan]

YO WHAT DOES THE PLANT HAVE AGAINST ME GUYS, I JUST TOOK THE ANTE VOUCHER AND GET THE PLANT IN ANTE 5

[dry bay]

ah cryptid

[sharp compass]

That boss comes from cryptid

[glad oriole]

cryptid my beloved

[glad oriole]

not to mention canvas

and Chad

[uneven edge]

the plant is easy asf

[sharp compass]

Also
How can i apply editions to images

[rain tartan]

Plant hates me

[brisk zinc]

and membership card

[uneven edge]

I can name 10 boss blinds harder than the plant on the top of my head

[rain tartan]

Not when you go face cards

[brisk zinc]

plant is only hard if your only score source is face cards

[glad oriole]

face card build users when the boss designed specifically to counter face card builds counters their face card build

[uneven edge]

so dont rely on face cards for your scoring source

[rain tartan]

That's literally mr

[brisk zinc]

that's why you can't put all your eggs into one basket

[sharp compass]

Plant is the "worst" because face card builds are powerful and better
Like look at photochad

[uneven edge]

and also you can go face cards and still live the plant lmao

[uneven edge]

photochad still deals with the plant easily

one glass = photochad

on a regular numbered glass card

[rain tartan]

Probably not with my build I think I'm cooked

[sharp compass]

The worst blind I can think of is

Uhhh

[uneven edge]

just a learning curve

[sharp compass]

Violet vessel?

[uneven edge]

try to branch out your builds

[uneven edge]

yeah

1.2 million score is rough

you need to score 3x what you'd usually get

[rain tartan]

All I know how to do is face cards builds lmao

[uneven edge]

sometimes it can be a breeze

[rain tartan]

So yeah

[sharp compass]

Even worse when you're barely over the req

[uneven edge]

thats why you branch out and start experimenting with different builds

you'll improve quicker too

[brisk zinc]

isn't it 1.2 million only on plasma deck and higher than green stake?

[uneven edge]

1.2 million on purple stake +

[brisk zinc]

oh yea purple yeah

[sharp compass]

I once experimented with pair builds when I got burnt joker (is that the name) and it was good
I also tried a straight build (unsuccessful because I wasn't able to find that 10)

[rain tartan]

I'm trying Black Stake on plasma, what should I go for

[uneven edge]

and gold stake is typically the discussion always

[brisk zinc]

fair enough

[rain tartan]

I can't seem to beat it

[uneven edge]

spam chips

[glad oriole]

dont rely on face card

[brisk zinc]

chips for early-midgame

[glad oriole]

s

[sharp compass]

Chips are good for plasma

[uneven edge]

you can get away with spamming chips until purple stake

[brisk zinc]

i beat plasma blue stake with wee joker carrying

[uneven edge]

after purple stake it gets rough

[glad oriole]

because surprisingly most runs arent face card builds

[uneven edge]

that is the name

[glad oriole]

or shouldnt be

[brisk zinc]

+800 wee + brainstorm

i had no xmult

[rain tartan]

"I'll make it a face card build 🗿"

[glad oriole]

thats a really good way to lose

[uneven edge]

pair builds are the meta

straight hand is like

[glad oriole]

forcing builds is like one of the worst things you can do in balatro

[uneven edge]

top 4-3 hands

[glad oriole]

u gotta go wit da flow

[brisk zinc]

pair builds go hard asf on blue+ stake

[uneven edge]

yeah its the sole best hand

[glad oriole]

f blue stake for making pairs so meta

because pairs are so monotonous

[brisk zinc]

well it's getting a rework in 1.1

[rain tartan]

I know, I am just super unsuccessful with any other build than face cards 😭

[glad oriole]

yep

[jolly talon]

What are they gonna rework blue stake to

[brisk zinc]

nobody knows

[uneven edge]

we dont know

[brisk zinc]

except maybe thunk

[glad oriole]

well it’d be good to practice other kinds of builds so that this isnt an issue

[uneven edge]

its just going to get reworked

since it's just not a good stake

[brisk zinc]

all we know is that thunk himself hates current blue stake too

[jolly talon]

Damn you thunk for being vague

No one likes blue stake

So awful to play

[glad oriole]

thunk doesnt do leaks

[rain tartan]

Ok guys I got an obelisk early is there a way I can work with that

[brisk zinc]

that's why pairs are meta on blue+

[uneven edge]

yep

[rain tartan]

On plasma

[brisk zinc]

easy to get without discards

[uneven edge]

thats immediate run direction

[jolly talon]

Spam your highest played hand until it's 12 or higher

That's what I did

Then pivot to some other hand

[uneven edge]

since ur on plasma you can get away with spamming something like flushes

for awhile

[hard gyro]

I named my son blue stake so I can tell everyone I beat blue stake

[jolly talon]

Preferably like

High card or pair

[uneven edge]

not high card

on any other deck it'd be pairs but

plasma gives early easy scoring

[rain tartan]

How long you think I should spam flush for

[hard gyro]

500

[uneven edge]

15 hands

[hard gyro]

Hey zoahl

[uneven edge]

you dont have to stop there

[hard gyro]

Nice cat name

[uneven edge]

hi

thank you

[jolly talon]

Don't forget to also deck fix for in order to gain more scaling for obelisk

Like flush five and five of a kind

[rain tartan]

Took cloud 9 for the first time ever basically

Lmao

[jolly talon]

But those are harder to pull

[jolly talon]

Good as golden joker. Better if you can death 9s and strength 8s

[rain tartan]

Yeah true

[jolly talon]

I just don't see much people use cloud 9 outside of early game unfortunately

Wish it had something else to add

Or maybe give a dollar or 2 for every 9 played

And let it get scaled up

[rain tartan]

Yo guys do I ankh or do trance?

Ante 2 - Plasma - black Stake
Obelisk, Fibonacci, Cloud 9

I could ankh the obelisk

[brisk zinc]

cloud 9 kinda forces you to deckfix for cards that aren't that good for anything else usually

[twin thorn]

Hello

[jolly talon]

True. There's that

[brisk zinc]

nannan

[jolly talon]

And how rebate is better

Common rarity

[brisk zinc]

rebate is broken

[jolly talon]

No deck fixing

And still gives more money

A dollar more

Per discard

[twin thorn]

Do you like teto

[rain tartan]

Help quick pls

[jolly talon]

I like teto

[brisk zinc]

i don't know anything about teto

[jolly talon]

Oh

Uhhh

[brisk zinc]

just that pic

[jolly talon]

What other jokers do you have

[rain tartan]

Thats all

[jolly talon]

Oh

Sure then

[twin thorn]

[jolly talon]

You got nothing to lose

[rain tartan]

Ankh obelisk?

[brisk zinc]

i feel rebate should either be made a rarer rarity or get the per-discard money reduced

[rain tartan]

Okay

[brisk zinc]

it's just too good rn

[jolly talon]

Nooo don't nerf my glorious king 💔

Or mail letter

It's been there for me at my roughest times

When it was the only econ option I could find

[rain tartan]

I love hanging chad being 2 retriggers on the first card IDC if it's broken

[jolly talon]

It's only broken with some combos

Like trib

Glass

Lucky

Photograph

[rain tartan]

And photo 💕

We love photochad

[jolly talon]

Red or gold seal

About it

Wait no

2's

And jokers that work with certain ranks

Like fiobonacci

And wee

[rain tartan]

Yeah a lot

[brisk zinc]

chad with wee is so nice

[wide mica]

What's the theoretical highest scoring build with 5 jokers, no repeats, no use of consumables, no seals and no enhancements

[brisk zinc]

naneinf

wait no

[rain tartan]

Xd

[brisk zinc]

i didn't read the whole thing

[wide mica]

The question also asks for prep because imagine a lvl 60 hand

Or a 10x constellation

[brisk zinc]

planet cards are consumables

[wide mica]

Oh shit yeah

Hm

Trib build?

[jolly talon]

Execute this user NOW

[cyan garden]

WHAT

[rain tartan]

We died with the obelisk run

Nothing good showed up

[wide mica]

Damn

[wide mica]

Okay so let's formulate a function with retriggers and such

I remember having a function for trib already

[rain tartan]

We making it to ante 4 with these runs 🗣️

[wide mica]

Wait no consumables means no deckfixing

Hmmm

[brisk zinc]

you can still have a king/queen full house to get max score from trib

[wide mica]

Nothing said about standard packs though

[young bolt]

KB43VR
Ts seed is lowkey goated

[wide mica]

They're not consumables

[rain tartan]

True

[wide mica]

Theoretically, if you got 5 base edition kings of the same suit, had idol, trib, blueprint, brainstorm and sock you could do a theoretical highest score

[rain tartan]

Yo chat it's madness time, got madness on ante 2

[wide mica]

I said theoretical two times

[brisk zinc]

you can also get polychromes for the jokers with skip tags

those aren't consumables

[rain tartan]

Im on black Stake so eternals can show up too

[wide mica]

Okay hold on

[brisk zinc]

you can also get edition cards from standard packs

so theoretically you can get a flush five of kings with polychrome on each

and red seal

wait no seals

[wide mica]

NO SEALS

[brisk zinc]

but poly yes

[wide mica]

Hm

I guess editions are fair game

If it's allowed on jokers

5 polychrome kings of the same suit would yield 32 x 7.5 without idol, just trib

[brisk zinc]

buskin and chad would give +7 retriggers in total

i can't maths anymore it's too late

[rain tartan]

I have a madness run that has potential

[wide mica]

Oh shit I didn't count Chad i was counting brainstorm and blueprint

Long-term retriggers are better i think

Like all 5 retriggers

[rain tartan]

WAIT I HAVE A POTENTIAL MADNESS + CEREMONIAL DAGGER RUN

That'd funny as crap

[brisk zinc]

Don't open if you want to do the math yourself
idk how accurate this is but it's some online balatro calculator i found

[wide mica]

I didn't wanna do the math myself lol thanks

What if instead of Chad it's like

Idol

[brisk zinc]

lemme see

5.8e20 if it hits king of spades

over 3 e's higher

[woeful moat]

I really don’t wanna lose my castle 🤞

But I must

HOLY

[brisk zinc]

wtf~2

[outer bay]

Damn…

[brisk zinc]

my invis joker always hit the worst shit

[wide mica]

Me after destroying the same card 3 times

[brisk zinc]

this was amazing

[wide mica]

Truly the invis of all time

[jolly talon]

That's pretty bananas of you

[devout cradle]

@placid birch But why didn't you wait three months?

[light hare]

latro

[brisk zinc]

ba

[young bolt]

#letubisoftmakeamariogame

[brisk zinc]

#killubisoftwithlargeknives

i don't like them

[young bolt]

Wait i got a better one

#letubisoftmakeabalatroandisaacgame

[brisk zinc]

do NOT let ubishit touch this game

[brisk zinc]

2 years from now you'll have to pay for each card played

irl money

[young bolt]

There would be real gambling too

[brisk zinc]

ubi is one of the worst major game studios that's ever existed

imo

[young bolt]

They made good games before tho

[brisk zinc]

yes i agree

i'm not talking about all of their games here but they have a tendency of ruining their good titles for no reason other than corporate greed

[woeful moat]

Unseeded btw

[brisk zinc]

i will never forget the old rainbow 6 siege before it went to shit
