[glad oriole]

surely we're getting a 7s joker

[compact stump]

its funnier to keep 7s useless

[proper flame]

are we getting a balatro movie soon

[glad oriole]

(they arent)

[compact stump]

how

[glad oriole]

7s are mathematically the best rank for straights

or something

[compact stump]

well yeah

[timber sierra]

puh leeeaaasae 🥹 its my birthday tomorrow

[proper flame]

7's are mathematically the best card due to it being the gambling number

[compact stump]

we begging now?

[wintry halo]

likely story

[glad oriole]

its out when its oyt

[icy lotus]

wraith technically gives money here

[compact stump]

yes

[icy lotus]

elite ball thinking

[rare yew]

OK so if I added new challenges then keeping the achievement the same would be fine it looks like

[wintry halo]

yeah

[rare yew]

one thing I'd have to do is re-sort them so jokerless is last

[glad oriole]

i thinks so

[rare yew]

or just generally re-sort them by difficulty

[turbid wadi]

Same goes for all those new decks you're gonna add; messing with Completionist+

[compact stump]

will you sort them by difficulty?

[wintry halo]

even if golden needle is the pinnacle of inconsistency

[rare yew]

they kind of are already

[icy lotus]

i got wee ;-;

[glad oriole]

is jokerless supposed to be the hardest

[compact stump]

yh i agree

[turbid wadi]

Golden Needle was harder than Jokerless for me

[glad oriole]

ive heard some arguments saying cruelty or golden needle are harder

[stark raven]

Thats cool

[rare yew]

I did golden needle 2nd try

[wintry halo]

golden needle is far more inconsistent

[glad oriole]

woaw

[compact stump]

what

[glad oriole]

thunk que pro

[rare yew]

jokerless took me a while

[glad scarab]

hello

[rare yew]

I did jokerless with straights, is that the strat?

[glad oriole]

in fairness jokerless plays a lot differently than normal balatro

[frozen berry]

Yeah

[turbid wadi]

Generally

[glad oriole]

generally straights or 4oaks yeah

[frozen berry]

Well it is with blue seals

[wintry halo]

yeah but you need a bigger sample size

[frozen berry]

And probably without

[compact stump]

jokerless is def harder, golden is far more annoying and inconsistent

[glad scarab]

should i take the mime instead of something? i got many queens

[proper flame]

its cool to see a dev who plays his game

[stark raven]

I don’t remember golden needle being hard

[glad oriole]

yeah take mime over stm

[rare yew]

anyway the last like 5 challenges right now in the list are the hardest 5

it's generally sorted by difficulty

[oblique beacon]

I can't wait for localthunk to finally reveal the uno card expansion pass dlc

[glad scarab]

why? i have many queens

[frozen berry]

You have 128x mult before shoot the moon scores

[glad oriole]

stm scores AFTER photograph so its not helping very much

presumably

[turbid wadi]

Paid sponsor jokers. Brands give thunk a bag of money to get a joker added with their brand on it.

[glad scarab]

it dosent matter if i arrange teh jokers?

[turbid wadi]

"Oh boy, I got planet fitness"

[glad oriole]

it would be ideal to copy your photo with the brainstorm

and no it doesnt matter

[compact stump]

thunk u eating chip today?

[rare yew]

I would add a rocket league joker if they ever returned my calls

[icy lotus]

;-;

[glad oriole]

held in hand effects always go after played hand effects

[glad oriole]

what would itbdo

[proper flame]

joker which eats away your money for permenant buffs, gets more and more brand stickers on it

[glad scarab]

so ill remove the shoot the moon?

[oblique beacon]

Planet Fitness: Carbon copy of runner with +16 chips instead

[compact stump]

that would go crazy

[glad scarab]

and go for 5 of a kind build

[glad oriole]

yeah mime could have a big effects with steels

[rare yew]

why is game chat discussion happening in server chat

I'm not here enough

[glad oriole]

people do that sometimes

[wintry halo]

rl the one that started it all

yeah

[oblique beacon]

This is discord people don't know what a channel is

[glad oriole]

true!!

[rare yew]

I guess people use either channel for whatever right

[proper flame]

people dont chat about the server enough so people just dont feel a reason not to

[glad oriole]

wmt

[pliant sedge]

Same haha

[compact stump]

kinda yeah

[glad oriole]

sometimes i just be meowing in game discussion

[wintry halo]

pretty much

[rare yew]

we know

[compact stump]

off topic is just weird

[glad oriole]

:3

[granite urchin]

I mean the only thing we all have in common is balatro so we talk abt it alot

[compact stump]

lmao

[wintry halo]

server chat is more general while game discussion is more game advice or achievement sharing

[glad scarab]

so what joker should i place left first to copy

[proper flame]

the baron hate is the #1 topic of the entire server, its keeping us together

[granite urchin]

True

[glad oriole]

photo

[granite urchin]

Yea lol

[compact stump]

bloodtone and idol hate is stronger

[proper flame]

i love bloodstone

[granite urchin]

Uh oh

[glad oriole]

bloodstone gets more love than it deserves

[rare yew]

Ok chat here is the question I asked when I first started working on 1.1, I looked at all the content in the game and I asked 'would this benefit from having more content or would that be a net negative'

[proper flame]

natural negative

[rare yew]

so for example, I think having more jokers is a big positive

[glad oriole]

yes it is

ini

imo

more

variety

[rare yew]

but I don't feel that way about stakes

[pliant sedge]

It depends how you got about it

[turbid wadi]

I dunno, having more jokers is fun

[granite urchin]

I think the stakes could be tweaked but i like the amount

[rare yew]

because more stakes also means it takes longer to complete a deck/the game

[glad oriole]

yesah stakes are odd

[oblique beacon]

Hard agree thank you

[tribal knoll]

more strategies, more ways to play around w stuff, more possibilities is generally more fun, specially when you play multiple runs (the premise of a roguelike)

[wintry halo]

something I'd like to see get attention is to have existing jokers have more use cases and not idol/seance/baron levels of utility

[rare yew]

and the balance of stakes is pretty good with 8 of them

[proper flame]

what about multiple lines of stakes instead of it just being one line

[glad oriole]

ya

[proper flame]

so its like a tree

[oblique beacon]

More stakes is quite literally "moving the goalpost" in terms of balancing

[turbid wadi]

I like the rule twists that come with decks though.

[rare yew]

I would way rather hone the stakes so they are better than just adding more

[granite urchin]

Over doing it

[rare yew]

seems way too complex

[wintry halo]

i like the number of stakes are fine as it is atm

[glad oriole]

hone like the voucher

[pliant sedge]

I think adding more stakes doesn’t make sense

[rare yew]

so anyway that was the first step for 1.1

[pliant sedge]

But changing them (like blue stake) could be interesting

[rare yew]

from that you might be able to figure out some things I am not adding new content to

[frozen berry]

I’d guess vouchers

[granite urchin]

I think that its difficult to add things like joker without the pool suffering from bloat but it just means u gotta add good jokers which i think u can do

[pliant sedge]

I guess no new decks

[wintry halo]

start with x voucher

[frozen berry]

Or no new poker hands

[rare yew]

I think I found a solution to adding an arbitrary amount of vouchers

[granite urchin]

Adding more vouchers is a flat nerf to anti matter and blank voucher smh

[proper flame]

we need a voucher that gives you 10 dollars when you buy it

and nothing after that

[granite urchin]

Now we thinking

[frozen berry]

Not necessarily but it is harder to unlock them yea

[rare yew]

where their upgraded versions show up more often if you buy the base version - so the larger pool doesn't mean you get less upgrades

[pliant sedge]

Woah

[wintry halo]

that's

interesting

[rare yew]

so I think I can add more vouchers, like an arbitrary amount

[turbid wadi]

Everyone suddenly much more excited about blank

[forest carbon]

gng should i play balatro rn

[rare yew]

and it wouldn't mess with anythign

[wintry halo]

how would that change for existing decks with a built in voucher start

[cosmic fable]

Hi

[pliant sedge]

It’s strange that no effects mess with vouchers

[granite urchin]

Depends on the numbers but yea thats really good i think

[glad oriole]

this would also be an indirect buff to Blank

[cosmic fable]

Yes

[compact stump]

yeah

[rare yew]

it wouldn't be a buff IMO

[glad oriole]

why not

[compact stump]

how?

[pliant sedge]

There’s a joker for like every action, but nothing for vouchers oddly

[wintry halo]

and a direct nerf to planet merchant lol

[glad oriole]

blank normally does nothing

[granite urchin]

I feel like no cus u still see blank less

[oblique beacon]

I'd wanna see it in play first but first impressions says that would widen the gap between good and bad ones

[proper flame]

how often to people even get antimatter before ante8

[glad oriole]

if you have a jigher chance of finding its ipgrade them it actually does something more often

[wintry halo]

in terms of general probability

[pliant sedge]

It buffs every voucher technically

[glad oriole]

itd is quite uncommon

[glad oriole]

depends

illusion is a downgrade due to the cost increases

slthough

[wintry halo]

and also bugged

[glad oriole]

if illusion worked with seals

hohihohoho

[compact stump]

how is it a buff to base vouchers if they show up less?

[proper flame]

i wish i could throw a voucher into the trashbin

i dont want more planet cards in my shop

[rare yew]

it would be like this:
every ante, it generates the primary voucher for that shop
if you have 3 base vouchers, then it rolls a 3/16 RNG:

• if true, then it picks one at random and gives the upgraded version of that voucher
• if false, then it picks a new base voucher from the remaining pool

[frozen berry]

That would be … wasteful

[rare yew]

so it would not impact the game at all if there are 32 vouchers

[wintry halo]

yeah it already cost 6 bucks for an enhancement and edition per card, I wouldn't wanna know how much more it'll cost with a seal

[granite urchin]

Hard to say its a buff/nerf because seeing it less doesnt make it weaker

[forest carbon]

"hmm id love to play sum potential pb runs" the humble baron in the first pack

[granite urchin]

Depending on the quality of vouchers it could be a nerf to voucher skip i guess

[proper flame]

the humble death in ante3

[glad oriole]

you realize hes gonna do nothing for like 6 antes

[forest carbon]

maybe

but it might not

[rare yew]

assuming the vouchers I add would be roughly the same power level as the current ones

then it's a wash

[pliant sedge]

It’s kinda sad you get so little vouchers in ante 8 gameplay, they’re so much fun

But I guess that’s what makes them special

[timber sierra]

fair

[proper flame]

you need a wee or some good money gen early if you want pb's even if baron could give you a billion score on ante1 it doesnt really matter

[granite urchin]

Its confirmed hes halfing the amount of vouchers in the game

[rare yew]

they're fun because you get so few of them

[granite urchin]

From 32 down to 16

[frozen berry]

Brain may not be working but doesn’t it already basically work like that

[pliant sedge]

Yeahh

[oblique beacon]

Yeah that kind of system works fine as long as the vouchers are generallyl the same power wise

[wintry halo]

would this be an incentive to be more picky on what tier 1 vouchers you should take generally or something different

[rare yew]

do the math again

[pliant sedge]

Naw he’s doubling them

[glad oriole]

there are 16 base vouchers

[rare yew]

16 voucher sets

[granite urchin]

Lmao

I forget the /j

[rare yew]

suuuuure 🙂

[wintry halo]

likely story

[pliant sedge]

More vouchers is exciting for sure :D

[rare yew]

so anyway that's a solution for more vouchers

[frozen berry]

If you have 3 base vouchers there are 13 base vouchers and 3 upgraded vouchers in the pool, so the chance of an upgraded is already 3/16 currently

[pliant sedge]

And the system seems interesting too

[rare yew]

and I think more vouchers is largely just better, they are fun

[wintry halo]

im trying to think about this for ante 8 runs in particular

[rare yew]

as long as the voucher designs don't suck

[sick zenith]

yea this just increases the chance when theres more than 16 base

[rare yew]

but if I can add an arbitrary amount of vouchers then I can only keep the good ones

[glad oriole]

i think magic trick should be better

[frozen berry]

Oh I missed that part

[granite urchin]

Thats the most important part imo

[glad oriole]

somewhat related

[pliant sedge]

Damn are some getting cut?

[glad oriole]

i dunno if its bad design wise but theres almost never a good reason to take magic trick

[proper flame]

the balance is around ante8 the endless mode is just for fun

[rare yew]

I think that's okay

[wintry halo]

speaking of sucking, whats gonna happen to skip tags or skipping in general when it's like self destructing

[glad oriole]

perhaps

[pliant sedge]

It’s good for some builds

[plush badge]

It's good for one build

[glad oriole]

its good for 1 joker

[pliant sedge]

The seal fix will make it way more worth it

[glad oriole]

true true

i love seals

[granite urchin]

Hologram maybe

[rare yew]

The one where I'm leaning on no new content is card enhancements

[pliant sedge]

More jokers can be added to make it more worth too

Makes sense

[turbid wadi]

+1 hand size skip tag would entice people to skip more

[rare yew]

new enhancements I feel would increase complexity a lot more than new jokers

[glad oriole]

fair cuz then theyd either be really rare or need new tarots

[wintry halo]

what about card edition via negative (+1 hand size)

[granite urchin]

Enhancements specifically or just all permanent card effects

[pliant sedge]

Add enhancements to consumables >:D

[glad oriole]

enhancements srent permanent ._.

[turbid wadi]

Editions/enhancements are the hardest stuff to explain to new players (that I coerce into playing the game, regardless of their interests)

[flat lantern]

minecraft golden apple type shit

[pliant sedge]

Polychrome Fool go brrr

[flat lantern]

Wait I read that as enchantment

[granite urchin]

Ur right idk why i said that

[flat lantern]

nvm

[compact stump]

thunk can we know what did this joker do??

[potent panther]

Consumables can have different editions now 🔥

[sick zenith]

perkeo nvm

[glad oriole]

it wasnt finished i dont think

[flat lantern]

whenever I try to play Balatro on pc game pass I just get a black screen

[pliant sedge]

We’ll never ever know

[glad oriole]

thats editions not enhancements

[rare yew]

it did nothing

it wasn't a joker

[pliant sedge]

Lmaooo

[granite urchin]

It scares me

[potent panther]

Waow

[pliant sedge]

Holy lore drop

[compact stump]

lol

[glad oriole]

it was just a thing lumpy drew

[flat lantern]

time to play slay the spire until I can get my tv mounted in my new room I guess

[glad oriole]

for the game

[proper flame]

are new decks getting added

[granite urchin]

The effect is to flashbang me in a dark room on my phone

[compact stump]

crazy

[turbid wadi]

But it says joker right on it

[glad oriole]

i think he said in his video that it never got accepted

[rare yew]

he drew it for me but I never used it

[flat lantern]

jokar

[compact stump]

LumpyTouch lied to us

[rare yew]

never had a design

[potent panther]

That's what they want you to think

[tawny pasture]

Agreed. Played a lot of modded enhancements .adding more just makes it confusing to what's already there

[glad oriole]

true true

[pliant sedge]

Was Vagabond drawn before given an effect too?

[rare yew]

yes

[pliant sedge]

Wow

Amazing

[oblique beacon]

Would extra editions fall under the too much complexity umbrella too?

[rare yew]

I'm not sure

[glad oriole]

vagabond is so awesome i hope he never changes

[rare yew]

probably?

I want to try a few things though

[pliant sedge]

Fuck yeah

[oblique beacon]

We need the elusive money edition !!

[potent panther]

New editions that i can only think of are uh

money

and tarot

[turbid wadi]

What about letting us use Friends of Jimbo is any suit? Rather than locking specific ones to specific suits?

[granite urchin]

I think that adding more tarot cards is also just difficult because it makes deck fixing harder.

[rare yew]

nah

[potent panther]

True

[pliant sedge]

Also there’s no more tarots to use lmaooo

[granite urchin]

See less deaths less strengths less hanged man

[potent panther]

Also we got all of the major arcana ones

[proper flame]

was the idea of a gift card joker made first or the idea of a joker which adds value to jokers

[pliant sedge]

Latter prob lol

[potent panther]

Yeah

[rare yew]

the issue with adding new tarots from the minor arcana is that tarot cards already have a very defined and central purpose in the game and if I add like 50 new ones then the game is WAY different

so I can't really do that

[potent panther]

True

Then add a new booster pack smh (/j)

[granite urchin]

I agree

[pliant sedge]

You gotta add the eleven of swords trust me, and the ten of swords and the nine of swords and the…

[rare yew]

Oh booster packs was another one - that I could probably add to

[oblique beacon]

Arbitrarily select a couple minor arcana for new features

[compact stump]

new booster pack would be fuuuuun

[pliant sedge]

Yoooo

[turbid wadi]

Most of the design is so good already; like - what other tarot effects do you really need?

[potent panther]

Interesting...

[pliant sedge]

I genuinely had a dream you added a new consumable

[rare yew]

I'm not saying these are things I'm adding to

just these are the things I could add to

without wrecking the game

[granite urchin]

This is not a suggestion i have considered the balance of at all but i think a tarot card that gives a random enhancement random rank and random suit could be fun

[wintry halo]

just brainstorming

[granite urchin]

Like a wheel for playing cards

[glad oriole]

is there a possibility we get more spectral cards

[pliant sedge]

Spectral

[winter maple]

that feels like spectral

[granite urchin]

Spectrals do that already kinda

[pliant sedge]

I don’t think new legendaries are on the table

[rare yew]

Oh yeah, I guess you weren't here for this but way back in this discord when I first added spectrals I did so because I wanted an infinitely expandable set of consumables

[compact stump]

not for wnhancements

[potent panther]

Spectrals are fun to think of

[rare yew]

they also happen to be risk/reward themed

[potent panther]

Some ghostly otherworld term

[glad oriole]

sick

[rare yew]

but yeah I could add as many of them as I want I think

[pliant sedge]

Goated

[rare yew]

as long as the designs are relatively similar in terms of power

[wild lily]

oh thunk is here
guess ill go to sleep now

[wintry halo]

as rare as they are to find or generate I don't see why not

[compact stump]

do you plan on changing/reworking any spectral?

[glad oriole]

oh yeah on topic of spectrals

immolate

why does it give 20 dollars

[pliant sedge]

That’s not super consistent within the spectrals themselves tho lol

[oblique beacon]

^^^^^^^

[pliant sedge]

Immolate and Incantation lol

[rare yew]

because $20 is $20

[granite urchin]

Cus i like money

[compact stump]

immolate is a win win most of the time

[potent panther]

True...

[glad oriole]

fair enough

[rare yew]

that's not what I meant

[proper flame]

immolate hits my good cards so much

[winter maple]

its the same with tarots though. some are just objectively better

[pliant sedge]

Yeah I suppose

[rare yew]

I mean that as long as the new spectrals are on average the same power as current ones

same with jokers

[pliant sedge]

I see

[wintry halo]

whatever that means

[rare yew]

doesnt' mean all current jokers or spectrals are the same power level

[granite urchin]

Truth nuke

[proper flame]

plushie joker when

[potent panther]

Immolate was meant to be like a high risk high reward but most of the time the hand drawn in spectral packs kinda suck

[granite urchin]

It exists

[rare yew]

but if I add 100 jokers that all give X100 mult then that messes with game balance in a big way

[compact stump]

yeah kinda

[proper flame]

i mean a joker thats a plushie

[pliant sedge]

Are there any taboos you have when designing jokers? Other than the rule book you’ve written? Effects that you know will never be in the game?

[oblique beacon]

Hey the cryptid mod is trying it's best ok

[wild lily]

picking immolate is always a 9/10 choice cause it deals with both things at once

[potent panther]

Yeah

[granite urchin]

Wee joker is a plushie in my headcanon

[proper flame]

truth

[rare yew]

that list of 10 rules is pretty much the only guidelines

[rare yew]

it covers pretty much all of it

[pliant sedge]

Peak

[potent panther]

Crazy

[vocal plover]

what is yall favorite deck

[white lichen]

mad trading card is eternal

so idk if i should take em

[compact stump]

i feel like ouija is worse than other spectrals

[rare yew]

let me find that list

[wintry halo]

and pin it

[wild lily]

top 3 goes to blue, ghost and prob yellow

[plush badge]

Painted deck best deck

[rare yew]

1. Jokers should have a theme: This theme should be both visual and somehow relate to the effect and name. Some good examples of this are Delayed Gratification, Pareidolia, Gros Michel

2. Jokers should have one effect: A Joker effect has up to 2 parts; the effect (+4 mult), and the optional condition (if played hand contains X). This is a bit more complex with scaling Jokers but generally similar. I sometimes see suggestions to add an entirely different effect to an existing Joker, such as allowing straights to wrap around Ace for Superposition, but that would give the Joker 2 effects

3. Jokers with powerful effects should be conditional. The interesting part of a game like Balatro are the tough A B choices you are always evaluating. When powerful effects have harsh drawbacks, it makes those decisions more interesting to think about, and the drawbacks themselves have opportunity to synergize with other mechanics in the game

4. Jokers should generally ‘Fit in’. Jokers as a set are much more interesting when only a few of them have totally wacky effects/visuals than if all of them were crazy and unique. Boring Jokers are also good because they are more reliable without being tied to oppressive conditions

5. Jokers shouldn’t always be the ‘right choice’ on an average run. As I mentioned before, this is a game designed around meaningful A B choices and if Jokers choices are 100% lopsided that interesting decision goes away

6. Joker descriptions should be short, ideally 3 lines of text or less. This is for a few reasons. First, I have an awful attention span so seeing a wall of text when I hover over something sometimes means I just don’t read it. Second, forcing the idea to be succinct also correlates to an idea with broader synergy potential. If an idea takes too long to describe, I usually just scrap that idea entirely

7. Joker descriptions should be simple. This is the one I struggle with the most, but I usually joke and say it needs to be written in crayon. Something that seems complex to me as the creator of the card will be unintelligible to a player

8. Jokers should synergize with general keywords/stats, NOT specific Jokers. Basically if a Joker synergizes with ‘face cards’, that’s good because it’s a pretty broad term and many things in Balatro also apply to that term. But if a Joker specifically says it synergizes with, say, Shortcut, then the large Joker pool will just make that synergy frustratingly rare. Ensuring effects augment the core keywords and numbers in Balatro also ensures there will be meaningful emergent synergy between Jokers that aren’t necessarily designed with each other in mind, and as the Joker pool expands it also ensures there won’t be synergy ‘dilution’. This also means no Joker Exodia

9. Jokers should work in tandem with existing keywords/stats/mechanics, not introduce new ones entirely. This is essentially ‘mechanic creep’, and dilutes the synergies in a similar manner to #8

10. Visually, Jokers should all contain the word ‘Joker’ in the art. Legendary Jokers are the only exception. They should also keep a similar art style and colour palette to form a cohesive visual set

[winter maple]

high risk high reward and/or helps you decide how to deckfix if you get early

[wintry halo]

gguh

[rare yew]

that's from my reddit post

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1czo9g0/guidelines_for_joker_design/

[proper flame]

i wish it would give -1 hand size for like 3-4 antes or smt its just not worth it

[granite urchin]

I agree with the guy who said to pin that

[glad oriole]

thunk are rhere any plans for new legendaries

[compact stump]

higher risk than reward IMO

[pliant sedge]

Is rule 9 something that’s bendable for you? Or is it locked

[rare yew]

why

like I'm not adding Xchips if that's what you're asking 🙂

or exponential mult

[glad oriole]

Xchips is already in the game
its called mult

[compact stump]

why is brainstorm the only one with a 90 degree angle?

[proper flame]

is xchips even any diffrent than xmult

[plush badge]

Only on plasma

[frozen berry]

On 14 decks no

[oblique beacon]

The only possible difference is when playing plasma deck

[pliant sedge]

No of course not

[glad oriole]

yuh

[proper flame]

people just obsessed with the blue ig

[frozen berry]

It just makes it even more confusing for ordering jokers for new players

[rare yew]

the sharp corner is the unfolded corner of the napkin

[oblique beacon]

But it's blue so it's different!

[pliant sedge]

There’s just some jokers with very unique effects like Perkeo or vampire

Or blueprint

[glad oriole]

brainstorm

[deft urchin]

first gold stake run win and of course it was a baron build

[wintry halo]

reporting bloodstuh for breaking rule 8

[glad oriole]

💔

[granite urchin]

They are unique effects but they dont introduce any new mechanics

[compact stump]

so its just the theme?

[rare yew]

They do have complex effects but they use the same keywords as other jokers

[pliant sedge]

I suppose yeah

[granite urchin]

Negatives exist already

[pliant sedge]

I seeeee

[glad oriole]

i mean perkeo introduces negative consumables

[rare yew]

like the building blocks are set

[deft urchin]

it was a pair build at first lol

[glad oriole]

but yeah

its nothing technically new

[rare yew]

it doesn't introduce the negative keyword

[deft urchin]

nat negative task list or whatever its called saved

[pliant sedge]

Yeah but it’s kind of a mashup of two existing things ig

[glad oriole]

mhmhm

[granite urchin]

Negative playing cards when/j

[compact stump]

please no

[pliant sedge]

Loool

[winter maple]

cryptid mod? idk

[glad oriole]

probably wont happen
blue seals dont need to become even stronger

[compact stump]

cryptid is something else

[potent panther]

cryptid

[proper flame]

negative seals that just do nothing

[potent panther]

like the spectral

[glad oriole]

cryptid is a bad example theyve added everything thunk wont

[compact stump]

the mod

[potent panther]

no

[granite urchin]

Lmao cosmetic seals

[potent panther]

shhhhh

[glad oriole]

new enhancements new tarots Xchips ^mult

[proper flame]

shiny shiny

[pliant sedge]

Never playing cryptid for this reason lol

[oblique beacon]

Cryptid is just "haha that's funny" with balance being completely ignored

[frozen berry]

They’re called red seals smh

[glad oriole]

its fun ngl just very much not vanilla

[granite urchin]

Ill take my +2 chips

[winter maple]

I think thats the point of the mod lmao its meant to be so broken you cant get anything under e20 past ante 3

[glad oriole]

wow the sky is blue

[pliant sedge]

I get it

[glad oriole]

wow clouds

[pliant sedge]

More seals could be pretty fun

[proper flame]

we need a 1/2048 chance for a joker to be shiny

[glad oriole]

it is

[turbid wadi]

Cryptid is an extreme example of "they didn't stop to think about if they should"

[pliant sedge]

Blueprint seal :0

[proper flame]

it does nothing other than take away the chance for other enhancements

[glad oriole]

cryptid is so broken you can beat ante 8 in 1 round

[glad oriole]

theres an achievement for it

[granite urchin]

Speaking of chips onf of my favorite jokers is HIKER! I think its effect is very unique i

[proper flame]

you can beat ante e308 in one round

[granite urchin]

I like jokers with unique effects that open up interesting synergies

[glad oriole]

yes hiker is cool

[rare yew]

You can extend a lot of that list of guidelines to other aspects of the game, but I can break those rules a little easier in other areas

for example, decks

[glad oriole]

you can do literally everything in 1 round via crustulum

[compact stump]

my fav is Oopps all sixes, unique effect and really fun to play with

[pliant sedge]

Oh thunk speaking about jokers adding no new key words, Mr bones is the only joker in the game with a percentage in it’s ability

[glad oriole]

or ccd deck

[wintry halo]

and ig seals

[rare yew]

Plasma deck has a totally different scoring mechanism

[pliant sedge]

Actually I’m pretty sure the only mention of a percentage in the whole game

[winter maple]

1 in 2 and 1 in 4 doesnt count?

[proper flame]

not even crustulum just that joker which gives you money for selling jokers is enough

[pliant sedge]

Those are probabilities

Not percentages

[compact stump]

thats probabilities

[winter maple]

so is 25%

[pliant sedge]

Like 25% is

[rare yew]

I don't think that's a keyword though

[pliant sedge]

That’s a percentage

[glad oriole]

meeeh cryptocurrency isnt that op
unliss you have the tier 3 of liquidation

[granite urchin]

Mime my favorite jokers in the game its like everything in one

[pliant sedge]

I seeee

Writing down notes

[winter maple]

they mean the same thing in this context

[oblique beacon]

You could always just say "half" if it causes issues

[proper flame]

it lets you reroll for wayy longer

[pliant sedge]

Nope!

[winter maple]

wait how does bones work again?

[glad oriole]

another cryptid joker that can basically go infinite is pity prize and a copier

[pliant sedge]

1 in 4 and 25% are completely different

[plush badge]

One fourth ≠ one in four

[rare yew]

it's just language, I could replace it with 'one quarter' but that feel less clear

[granite urchin]

Keyword “%”

[pliant sedge]

You can’t have 1 in 4 of a cake

[proper flame]

does oops all 6's affect bones

[compact stump]

no

[glad oriole]

you can

[pliant sedge]

It also cares about your final score which is very strange

[proper flame]

thats probably why its %

[glad oriole]

its just a weird way to word it

[wintry halo]

double quarter pounder incident

[pliant sedge]

1 in 4 and 1/4th are different yo

[glad oriole]

why dont they just call it a half pounder

[rare yew]

okay I think we all get it 🙂

[granite urchin]

If u have two bones do they both did

[glad oriole]

well 25% and 25% chance are different

[proper flame]

americans think 1/4th is bigger than 1/3rd

[granite urchin]

Die*

[glad oriole]

sorry thunk

[pliant sedge]

Sorry lol

[glad oriole]

as an american
what?

[forest carbon]

"death on ante 3" they said

[wintry halo]

Americans thought they would get less of what they actually ordered calling it a half pounder and ended up with lower sales

[glad oriole]

whuh

[simple ore]

I've never had an issue with the 25% in bones, it rather opens up the possibility for percentages to be vanilla

[potent panther]

I do wonder

[rare yew]

aight I'm out of here lmao

[wintry halo]

later

[compact stump]

lool

[simple ore]

✌️

[glad oriole]

oh cya thunk

[pliant sedge]

Bye!!

[potent panther]

Oh alright

[compact stump]

cyaa

[potent panther]

Byeeee

[granite urchin]

See ya thunk meister

[tawny pasture]

Later dude

[wintry halo]

scoring cannot exceed 50% as a boss blind

[young ice]

I just got a seed with 2 invisible jokers in the first 3 antes or so

[turbid wadi]

Wendys had that problem with advertising 1/3 lb burgers. Dopes thought they were smaller than 1/4 lb

[forest carbon]

misclicked i think

[proper flame]

1/3rd pounders sold way less than 1/4th pounders because customers saw 4 and assumed it was bigger than 3

[glad oriole]

hello murph

[compact stump]

murphy was just sitting back and reading this

[granite urchin]

Yea oop

[compact stump]

lmao

[wintry halo]

i miss wendys food

[glad oriole]

Sorry boss

[glad oriole]

[compact stump]

lol

[pliant sedge]

Really interesting how rare jokers are some of the most divisive

[glad oriole]

based? based on what

[pliant sedge]

Makes sense

[neon salmon]

Yea

[granite urchin]

Unique effects r unique

[compact stump]

easiest way to get calories? whiskey.

[pliant sedge]

Yuuup

[forest carbon]

mime is optimal rn right?

[glad oriole]

except my boy vagabond

<3

[granite urchin]

Easiest way to get calories is to eat food imo

[glad oriole]

get you some red seals gang

[compact stump]

yh im just joking

but alcohol does have lots of calories, it messes up w the muscles tho

[forest carbon]

like ive seen any

[granite urchin]

Yes

[compact stump]

not recommended

[granite urchin]

1.5 from steal 1.5 from baron 1 trigger from mime then 1 trigger from bs

Optimal

[pliant sedge]

People hate him lol

[glad oriole]

u know what else has lots of calories

uranium baby

[glad oriole]

true

i lied

i just wanted to glaze

[pliant sedge]

[forest carbon]

how am i supposed to die on ante 2

impossible

[glad oriole]

u know what

thats fair

[jovial estuary]

You know what sometimes an ecto just hits the best possible outcome

I had given up on ecto since it never hit what I wanted it to

But then I learned that you should never stop gambling and it hit my brainstorm

[forest carbon]

theres a chance

no there isnt

[graceful drift]

What were the chances?

Of getting two legendary jokers in the same run

Random seed btw

[forest carbon]

idk but got it yesterday

[graceful drift]

Beautiful

[forest carbon]

ik

took the second one for trib but got the chigoat

[jovial estuary]

Bloody water man

I figured something out today Mary Andie + water = not good

[plucky hazel]

I need to know, has anyone seen any good furry jokers or textures around this server or in #🎨・fan-art

actively looking for it

[graceful drift]

Good what now? 😭

[plucky hazel]

Nothing weird to ask

furry joker textures

[graceful drift]

Ik ik

I'm just joking

[deft urchin]

ten billion dollars

[graceful drift]

YES

[jovial estuary]

Raise that by a factor of ten

[forest carbon]

twin doin ts on gold stake btw 😭 😭 😭

[deft urchin]

one hundred balatrillion dollars

[placid pecan]

I GOT AN IDEA

[graceful drift]

Didn't notice omg

That's crazy

[forest carbon]

lets destroy the france gng

[placid pecan]

Balatro but you can only play one hand every round

[glad oriole]

10 nonillion actually

[forest carbon]

thats called needle

[placid pecan]

Exactly

[placid pecan]

Every single round is needle

[graceful drift]

Check my jokers out

[forest carbon]

peak

[placid pecan]

Not just boss blinds

[graceful drift]

I'm buying that negative btw

[jovial estuary]

No that wouldn’t really be possible

[forest carbon]

ts gunna be e10000

[placid pecan]

You ever heard of modding

[graceful drift]

Bet it will

[jovial estuary]

Not talking about that part

[deft urchin]

ngl im confused why its 0 bucks lol

[graceful drift]

You know the sticker?

That one that they give you when you skip a blind

[forest carbon]

fr i also was thinking about ts

[glad oriole]

golden needle challenge:

[deft urchin]

well yeah but if it was a negative tag it woldve hit the heart joker

[forest carbon]

ye but the lusty joker would be affected then

[graceful drift]

I use the double sticker thingy and wait for a free negative one to appear so I can always have two

[graceful drift]

Who

[jovial estuary]

?

[graceful drift]

😭

[deft urchin]

he has such a way with words

[forest carbon]

look at the name of the red joker😭 😭

[placid pecan]

Get the one where it’s every card face card, infinite money

[jovial estuary]

Haven’t heard of the lusty joker?

[graceful drift]

Sorry my native language is not English

[glad oriole]

theres a challenge called golden needle
1 hand, 6 discards, discards cost a dollar to use

[graceful drift]

I'm trying my best rn

💔

[deft urchin]

lol its fine i thought so

[jovial estuary]

Yeah

[tribal knoll]

he's playing balatro on spanish so i dont think so

thats prob why

[graceful drift]

Is my English that bad?

[graceful drift]

Thanks man

[tribal knoll]

reg joker names don't really translate 1 to 1

[jovial estuary]

That makes sense

[forest carbon]

ohhhh

[deft urchin]

no its understandable you were just being very vague

[graceful drift]

What does vague mean

Like lazy?

[forest carbon]

fr

[tribal knoll]

dificil de entender

o obscuro

[graceful drift]

Dios

[jovial estuary]

No like obscur

[graceful drift]

Qué vergüenza

[deft urchin]

not descriptive enough to figure out what exactly you were talking about

[jovial estuary]

I’ve no idea how to speak Spanish, but can I can usually decipher what Spanish words mean because I can speak French

[placid pecan]

How about a challenge where you MUST play a specific hand every round or you fail the challenge

[tribal knoll]

people have already done that

[placid pecan]

I mean at least once

[jovial estuary]

So what the mouth?

[placid pecan]

…why do you have to ruin everything

[graceful drift]

Alright I'll try again

[tribal knoll]

sounds like a reset fest now that i think a little bit more about it

[graceful drift]

I wait for this thing to pop up

[deft urchin]

double tag, yea

[forest carbon]

i remember that someone said this some time ago already

[graceful drift]

And wait for this to appear

[tribal knoll]

your early game can easily get screwed up by having to nail straight flushes or high cards to win

[graceful drift]

So I can have lots of negative jokers 🤤

[deft urchin]

yes lol

i understand now thanks

u did good 👍

[forest carbon]

have you ever played anaglyph deck?

[graceful drift]

Thanks to you for letting me know I was sounding vague

Or whatever that means

[graceful drift]

I'll look that up in Spanish rq

No, I have that deck but no

[unkempt stag]

balatros dias, mistah prisas

[timber sierra]

just installed cryptid 😻

[unkempt stag]

how you doin?

[forest carbon]

it gives the double tags after every boss blind

[graceful drift]

Fine, thanks for asking

[graceful drift]

Yooo that sounds great

I should play with that more often

I got almost all jokers

Fun never ends ✌️😂

I'm so unemployed

🥹

[forest carbon]

much double tagss + negative tag= many fun

[unkempt stag]

lol

[graceful drift]

YES

‼️

[forest carbon]

go play ts rn twin

[graceful drift]

I got the game pass for 1 dollar just for Balatro

Now I have it on PC, mobile and PlayStation

[unkempt stag]

ok so

one question

[jovial estuary]

See you guys later I have to lock in on a final project

[unkempt stag]

can i drop something here
(not an image, just some info that if i do not show i will explode)

[forest carbon]

buy it on steam twin its like 17 bucks

[graceful drift]

That's exactly why I don't have it

I'm broke

[forest carbon]

sad

[graceful drift]

I don't have a j*b either

Whoops sorry

I'll censor that word

[forest carbon]

well then take a loan

[graceful drift]

My bad

✌️😂

[graceful drift]

No

I'll look that up too

Oh the hearts one

Yeah

[forest carbon]

[graceful drift]

Sending my prayers rn

🙏🙏

[forest carbon]

[calm kestrel]

[forest carbon]

[glad oriole]

douvle rare skip is ass for pv

[forest carbon]

[glad oriole]

peak would be vagabond

trust trust

[graceful drift]

WOW

‼️‼️

He's SO nonchalant

Can I get an autograph

⁉️

aw man

[tight vessel]

What do I get rid of for photograph

[forest carbon]

how much onc anio

[tight vessel]

6x

[forest carbon]

prolly sock then

[calm kestrel]

So bad I've gotten completionist ++ like 3 times by now

[forest carbon]

alr and

[calm kestrel]

Jus sayinnnn if I was bad that wouldn't have happened

[graceful drift]

Did your screenshot irl

Almost but yeah

I printed the cards ✌️😂

I'm so obsessed with this game

[forest carbon]

lowk true

[tight vessel]

That's crazy lmao

[graceful drift]

I'M crazy for Balatro

🤤

[forest carbon]

ayo

[tribal knoll]

3d printing or regular

[graceful drift]

I just find funny that enjoy

[graceful drift]

Regular

[tribal knoll]

i might do regular and make the cards with some cardboard

[graceful drift]

But cardboard is thick enough to

You know, make it difficult when you want to shuffle the cards

[tribal knoll]

so whatd u go with

[graceful drift]

Cartulina ✌️😂

[tribal knoll]

i might spend the time to get like 30-40 jokers that way then

not all 150

[graceful drift]

I don't have all of them either

I just printed my favorites

[tribal knoll]

sounds like a ton of effort and money cause i'd have to pay for each printing lol

[graceful drift]

Yeah I payed like

40 bucks

[tight vessel]

Is that still the strat if I'm trying to get 100,000,000 chips

[forest carbon]

you mean points or blue number

[tribal knoll]

i think you'll get there easily with photochad good base mult and glass cards, also sock preferably

[tribal knoll]

points

there's no way anyone is reaching 100m blue chips

[tight vessel]

Trying to get this

[forest carbon]

ohh

[solemn elm]

hello

[tribal knoll]

also what color did u go with

white?

[graceful drift]

White ofc

Yeah

[tribal knoll]

and u just trimmed the b orders

makes sense

[forest carbon]

if you destroy enough cards and level ur hand high ts gunna be piss easy

[graceful drift]

With some scissors, yes

[tight vessel]

As in trash sock or keep it?

Just want multiple opinions

[graceful drift]

Balatro 🤤

[tribal knoll]

normally i make a ton of glass cards or set my deck for face cards if i end with a canio or a chad so pareidolia is quite useless specially by ante 7 or 8 and beyond

if im just looking for 100m chips

id probably just play a 5 scoring cards hand w atleast 3 glass face cards prob

granted my base mult is decent enough for that ofc

[tribal knoll]

if you intend on scaling canio prob keep pareidolia but retriggers (sock) on glass cards are massive for scoring

we dont really know ur base mult on ur most played hand or how setted ur deck is rn also

[forest carbon]

scaling canio is prollly gonna be enough with the blueprint (if the base mult is good ofc)

[tribal knoll]

i mean he could just play a full glass hand or get some steels on the deck and should easily get to 100m points aswell

[forest carbon]

ur saying full glass like he has a glass build rn

[solemn elm]

its definitely possible, probably done before if anyone on a Crimson/Bean run has taken bull for the hell of it

[forest carbon]

i mean scaling wee is definetly possible wish like a quintilion copy effects

[tribal knoll]

i mean if we're talking about mere possibility yeah its deff possible but i meant i don't think that run gets him 100m blue chips

[ivory latch]

mmm… beans 😋

[solemn elm]

bull is how you're getting there, realistically

[forest carbon]

uhhh

idk

[ivory latch]

🐮 moooo

[solemn elm]

have you seen how much money Crimson/Bean runs get?

[forest carbon]

500 octilion negative chads prolly

[forest carbon]

no

[iron portal]

Wena pal balatro has arrived

[solemn elm]

the largest $ ive seen is 2.7 million, but im pretty sure i saw someone beat that since then

[graceful drift]

Who let the cow out bro 😭

[iron portal]

Whats up everyone 🦝

[ivory latch]

omg hey 🐮

[iron portal]

How’s the run going

[iron portal]

Hi diva

[forest carbon]

so like get to like 10 mil money and get copy effects

[solemn elm]

p much

[tight vessel]

I'm at x11 Canio now

[forest carbon]

still need 5 triggers so invis needed

[tight vessel]

So probably sell paradolia and just dupe something right

[forest carbon]

again what is canio at rn

[tight vessel]

X11

[forest carbon]

i didnt see it

[tight vessel]

All good

[forest carbon]

sell pariedolia and sell misprint before poppinng invis

[tight vessel]

Yeye

[forest carbon]

any hits are good in this situation but canio or bp are the best

[iron portal]

LMAOOO

[graceful drift]

Muy bonito como se saludan

✌️😂

[iron portal]

No espanol compadre (read in gringo accent)

Or they’ll get ur ass

[graceful drift]

They will?

Okay um

It's cute how you two greet each other?

☝️🤓

[iron portal]

Yeah, yesterday like 4 guys were like: Erm you can’t speak Spanish because we don’t understand waaa waaa🤓🤓🤓🤓

[iron portal]

thank you for proving my point whoever you are

[graceful drift]

Yo it's completely understandable

[solemn elm]

It's almost like it's a rule

[graceful drift]

Is it?

[tribal knoll]

it is

[iron portal]

Somehow it is

[solemn elm]

You would know if you had read them

[graceful drift]

Exactly

I never read the rules

[topaz saddle]

Ante 2 crazy shit

[iron portal]

Unfortunately I’m blind…

[solemn elm]

thats a surefire way to get yourself banned from any server

[forest carbon]

fym 'somehow' its a rule so everyone can understand eachother

[graceful drift]

Blind? That reminds me of something

[graceful drift]

I just behave, I don't know

[iron portal]

Omfg here we go again

[graceful drift]

I'm not going to insult anyone

Or something

[iron portal]

Fine I’ll stop for now flacos

[graceful drift]

Yeah I honestly find it reasonable

[tribal knoll]

yo what size did you make the joker cards with

what measures

i'm trying to get them sometime soon
