[fierce rain]

i’m honestly alr

[glossy orchid]

So you just admited to loitering?

Mods ban this guy

[fierce rain]

it’s not loitering

[solemn elm]

loitering is such a stupid term

"waiting"

[fierce rain]

technically there’s only 2 businesses in this parking lot and one of them is the one my mother works at

[solemn elm]

WAITING IS ILLEGAL

[fierce rain]

and she’s second highest in the company

i’ll be fine

[glossy orchid]

Tbh loitering has to be the stupidest thing to be illegal ever

[stoic lagoon]

Oh look, that person is peacefully passing time

GET HIS AHH

[fierce rain]

i’m sure i’ll be ok. i’m technically a paying customer

[glossy orchid]

Even when its like a homeless person sleeping in their car in a parking lot why would that be illegal they aren’t bothering anyone

[fierce rain]

i also live in a small town so loitering doesn’t really exist

everyone just hangs around everywhere

and nobody cares

cops do it too

[glossy orchid]

Yea same here

Ive never even seen a cop around where i live

[fierce rain]

the cops love chilling in the back of the sobeys parking lot

i’m not sure why

that’s a grocery store idk if you guys have sobeys

[glossy orchid]

Maybe thats where the most crime happens idk

[glossy orchid]

No never heard of that

[fierce rain]

unlikely but also likely i guess

there’s a mcdonald’s really close to that and a tim’s on the other side of the parking lot

[glossy orchid]

We only have lidl

[stoic lagoon]

My favorite game, New Yorker or Canandian

I say New York

[fierce rain]

i do suppose it’s a large parking lot in the center of town

[fierce rain]

i’m canadian

[stoic lagoon]

Frick

[signal sonnet]

So like is it worth it using Hex I'm at Ante 3

[fierce rain]

there it’s now in my name for less confusion

[opal gate]

Netanyahu please save my black deck run

[fierce rain]

restart your run

bad seed

[signal sonnet]

I've got Foil Flashcard, Smiley Face, and Sixth Sense

[glossy orchid]

Oh no

Absolutely not worth

[signal sonnet]

Ok

[fierce rain]

don’t restart your run but not worth

[ornate depot]

you're Canadian?! Misleading us about his country of origin is definitely the worst thing Tricky Dick Nixon ever did.

[glossy orchid]

Id just sell hex for interest indont think an amazing joker is gonna come down from the heavens now

[fierce rain]

land of the free more like land of the pee

[signal sonnet]

When are they gonna add the Joker that lets you play 3 pair vro

[fierce rain]

because people smell in america

[stoic lagoon]

What about not putting the water in the gate

[fierce rain]

like piss

[stoic lagoon]

Listen here, bud

Hockey hockey maple syrup

[signal sonnet]

Is good

[fierce rain]

hey man i went to boston once

[glossy orchid]

Crazy the the president of the united states said this

Sometimes

[fierce rain]

it was all traffic, overpriced shit, and reeked of piss

[stoic lagoon]

Ewe that's the north

[fierce rain]

that’s east

[glossy orchid]

Just watch out for the evil malicious plant

[stoic lagoon]

I'm in Louisiana, EVERYTHING is north

[signal sonnet]

I remember I had this one deck that was like, Pareidolia, Smileyface, and Photograph and I got screwed over by the Plant

[fierce rain]

maybe neast if we wanna get specific

[glossy orchid]

Yup

Thats balatro

[stoic lagoon]

Balala be delulu

[ornate depot]

Timothy Hortons

[stoic lagoon]

Timothy Chalamet Horton hears a who

[fierce rain]

i am pushing a vote to kill the next person who calls balatro ‘balala’

[signal sonnet]

What does The Serpent even do bro

[stoic lagoon]

balala

[signal sonnet]

They're so easy

[stoic lagoon]

Now end me

[fierce rain]

goodbye, little one

[glossy orchid]

Try discarding only one card

Youll see

[signal sonnet]

No yea I know

You get three back

[stoic lagoon]

[fierce rain]

i lowk love it but i want it to be nerfed too

but then again i’ve also died to it on higher antes

[signal sonnet]

Yea it's kinda broken with how easy it is

[fierce rain]

it’s really only a threat in endless

[signal sonnet]

Skill issue

[glossy orchid]

The only boss blind that is just straight up a benefit to you instead of a challange

[fierce rain]

in like ante 13 or 14

high above beating the game

[signal sonnet]

The farthest I've gotten is Ante 12 and that was with Mr. Bones' help

[fierce rain]

oof bro

[glossy orchid]

Ante 13 is where the numbers start getting all silly and the letter e shows up

[fierce rain]

i think my highest run was ante 15 where i had 2 polychrome canios

[signal sonnet]

Cool I don't even have Stuntman yet

[glossy orchid]

How does one achieve that

Invis joker?

[signal sonnet]

DUDE I HAD 2 CANIOS ONE RUN AND IT WAS GARBAGE

[fierce rain]

ghost deck, arcana, and then anch

[signal sonnet]

It was my Invisible Joker run where you can onky have 4 Jokers

I got 2 Polychrome Fortune Tellers and then 2 Canios

[glossy orchid]

Yea okay ghost deck is just ghost deck

[signal sonnet]

And then proceeded to get ZERO Hanged Man cards the ENTIRE run

[glossy orchid]

Its just too good but i never want it to be nerfed

[fierce rain]

ghost deck my beloved

i’d marry ghost deck if i could

[signal sonnet]

I really got an awful seed bro I wish I saved it it's laughably bad

[glossy orchid]

The incredible value of having a polychrome joker in ante 1

[fierce rain]

this guy has awful seed

[fierce rain]

can i have your seed

i want your seed

[stoic lagoon]

🪴

Plant

[signal sonnet]

No

[fierce rain]

Plant

[glossy orchid]

You dude is rhat a balatro reference

[stoic lagoon]

🌳

[fierce rain]

🤡

balatro?

[glossy orchid]

Me when i play poker with the fam but i lowkey have a seizure because its balatro

[signal sonnet]

I think I got like, Hex and Ankh early but my only Joker was Fortune Teller so I kinda had to roll with it

[fierce rain]

me when i’m playing texas hold em with the boys and i whip out the banana (im gonna get +Mult)

[signal sonnet]

Then I got Canio and duped him with Invisible and then he stayed at 1x the entire game cuz I wasn't able to destroy any cards

[glossy orchid]

Me when i lowkey kill my entire family (its gonna upgrade canio for destroying face cards)

[signal sonnet]

Bro I keep forgetting about my Sixth Sense

[glossy orchid]

Stop doing that gang sixth sense is really damn good

[fierce rain]

i remember one game i had 3 polychrome barons and a mime

twas great

[signal sonnet]

I KNOW HE SAVED ONE OF MY RUNS IN THE PAST

W he gave me Familiar and I'm doing a face card run

[glossy orchid]

Theres this really niche strategy that no one has done before where you like make your entire deck steal red seal kings and then you get like big score

[fierce rain]

she be perking on my e till i o

[fierce rain]

no way

[stoic lagoon]

She super my nova til I mult

[fierce rain]

i’ll be so fr i’ve done all but one of the decks on gold stake and i’ve never made that strategy work in a game

[stoic lagoon]

[signal sonnet]

Okay so I have Smiley Face, Pareidolia, and Sock Buskin, if only I could get Photograph to make the true face card run

[fierce rain]

no matter how much i’ve tried

[stoic lagoon]

No scary face?

[signal sonnet]

Eh

[glossy orchid]

Make sure to buy directors cut in case of evil plants

[signal sonnet]

I know it hasn't showed up yet

[fierce rain]

you should get Sock n Buskin, Photograph, Hanging Chad, Blueprint, and Brainstorm trust

[signal sonnet]

Yooo Wee Joker

[fierce rain]

that’ll get you to AT LEAST Ante 4

[glossy orchid]

Thats such a good niche combo we should call it „photochad“ or something

[signal sonnet]

Okay I'm at Ante 5

[fierce rain]

it might get you to ante 6

who knows

[signal sonnet]

Is Wee Joker worth it idk

[fierce rain]

depends if you like twos

[glossy orchid]

With your current deck not really

[signal sonnet]

Fine

[glossy orchid]

If a hack and fib show up hell yea

[signal sonnet]

Should I take Baron I don't have that many kings

[glossy orchid]

No

Not as good as you think

[fierce rain]

fellas

am i a man

or am i a muppet

[signal sonnet]

Refrigerator

[glossy orchid]

If youre a man

[fierce rain]

if i’m a muppet

[glossy orchid]

Then youre a muppet of a man

[fierce rain]

then i’m a very manly muppet

[signal sonnet]

Is Ectoplasm worth it?

[fierce rain]

am i a muppet?

or am i a man?

[signal sonnet]

Probably idk

[glossy orchid]

Uhhhhh lowkey idk

[fierce rain]

if i’m a man that makes me a muppet of a man.

[glossy orchid]

Id take it but i do stupid decisions sometimes

[signal sonnet]

Me too

[glossy orchid]

But imagine a chad shows up and you wouldnt even need to sell anything to make space

That would be cool

[fierce rain]

nobody appreciates my singing

nobody loves me i get it

[signal sonnet]

So like am I understanding Seeing Doubke correctly

[glossy orchid]

No man we love it

[fierce rain]

FINE

i’ll just leave then

[signal sonnet]

You play at least one Club and one other suit and you get 2x?

X2 mb

[glossy orchid]

Idk seeing double is the one joker i havent unlocked yet

[fierce rain]

part of me wonders if the reason thunk isn’t chatting lately is because of that thing the wiki guy did

[signal sonnet]

What

[glossy orchid]

What did the wiki guy do

Is this some lore im missing

[fierce rain]

i honestly feel really bad because thunk is prolly uncomfortable to talk here now

don’t worry about what he did

i’m just saying

[signal sonnet]

Idk what Bro's even talking about

[glossy orchid]

No you cant edge me like that i need to know now

[signal sonnet]

Ah shoot Hologram is in the shop but idk if I should sell anything

[fierce rain]

fine the guy with the wiki in his name made a joke saying he had documented almost everything thunk said in the serve

r

and everyone found it really creepy

[glossy orchid]

No youre too late in the game i dont think its worth

[fierce rain]

and then thunk got really uncomfortable and said something along the lines of how he needs to be more careful typing here

[signal sonnet]

Oh I was expecting a lot worse

[glossy orchid]

Oh man i just searched up wiki related messages and saw it

Yeah i actualyl feel kinda bad for thunk

That is some yandere behavior man

[signal sonnet]

Well shoot I fumbled my run

[glossy orchid]

Goddamnit #1fridgefan

How could you

[signal sonnet]

Bro it happens

[glossy orchid]

You shouldve just been more lucky

Smh

[signal sonnet]

Well I'm not very good

So glad I started this run with Bloodstone only to get The Head as my first boss

[glossy orchid]

Tell that to the game discussion chanel they will spend 3 hours talking about how bad bloodstone is

[signal sonnet]

Bloodstone is kinda hit or miss

[glossy orchid]

The humble oops all sixes:

[signal sonnet]

Is Certificate worth it

I'm at Ante 3

Too late I already bought it

[glossy orchid]

Yes it can get you a ton of blue seals wich is good

And ourple seals

[signal sonnet]

I'm tryna do a Flush run rn since I got The Tribe

[shy dove]

dont

the tribe is a very mid xmult

[signal sonnet]

😔

[shy dove]

and cert will make it very hard to play flushes regularly

ur best off doing pairs

[obtuse snow]

the tribe sucks

[signal sonnet]

What do ya'll got against the tribe

[shy dove]

i dont think the tribe sucks per se it can be not nothing on the right builds and xmult is xmult

but its not very good

[glossy orchid]

Most „xmult if hand contains a ______“ jokers arent that great

[shy dove]

its not enough of a flush incentive

[shy dove]

nah

[signal sonnet]

I don't have ant other xmult Jokers bruh

[shy dove]

the duo is great and reliable

[glossy orchid]

Yes

True

[shy dove]

trio and family are solid 4oak incentives

[glossy orchid]

Cus theres like 5 hands that contain a pair

[shy dove]

and order is pretty strong and a good straight incentive

[shy dove]

well

no?

most of the time if you have duo you just play pairs anyways

[signal sonnet]

I did have a pretty fire Straight run last night that was pretty cool

[shy dove]

3oak 4oak all that could not count and duo would still be solid as hell

[signal sonnet]

I'm already like halfway through this run man

[shy dove]

<---- not a man

but okay

[signal sonnet]

I got uhhh Chad, Foil Lusty, Gros Michael, Tribe, and Certificate

[shy dove]

this is a very dies ante 6 build

[glossy orchid]

That lusty gotta go

[shy dove]

actually if you can get cavendish

you might be alright

maybe glass cards can save you if they dont smash to bits

[signal sonnet]

Cool I got a Judgement card and replaced my Foil Lusty Joker with Swashbuckler

[shy dove]

still definitely not an ideal situation

[glossy orchid]

Oh man

[shy dove]

tbh

[signal sonnet]

Yea I wasn't saying that as a good thing

[glossy orchid]

You shouldve just waited for something better in the shop

[shy dove]

that was wrong on tennas end and even wronger on your end

lusty is providing a lot of your scoring as it stands

[signal sonnet]

So uhh this shop has uhh Hologram, Odd Todd, and Showman

[glossy orchid]

Dude

Get hologram

[shy dove]

oh take hologram

[glossy orchid]

You have cert

[shy dove]

thats better than lusty actually

[signal sonnet]

Ok

[shy dove]

how many levels in flush do you have

[signal sonnet]

4

[shy dove]

okay well hopefully you get blue seals before michel dies

[glossy orchid]

Gotta make more use of those blue seals cert is providing

[shy dove]

but you're probably fine

[signal sonnet]

I got a blue seal at least

[shy dove]

you probably wanna find some glass cards too

[signal sonnet]

Well shoot I think my run's over here bruh

[shy dove]

its gonna be really important to win in one hand since you're dedicated to flushes at this point

[signal sonnet]

Last hand of the round and my best hand is a pair of 4s

[shy dove]

yeah i mean

[glossy orchid]

Yea ggs

[shy dove]

thats flushes for ya

[signal sonnet]

Nvm 2 pair with 8s and 4s

Yea I'm dead

[shy dove]

when u add good cards to your deck like blue seals and gold cards it becomes harder to play your flushes

[glossy orchid]

Odd todd wouldve saved you for sure smh

[signal sonnet]

Bro I thought Plasma Deck was supposed to be easy

[shy dove]

and then for nothing particularly high value

[shy dove]

oh well

[glossy orchid]

When you have certificate it would be way better to play pairs

[shy dove]

you shouldve said you were on plasma

[signal sonnet]

I am

[shy dove]

that changes everything drastically

[signal sonnet]

What do YOU recommend for Plasma

[shy dove]

plasma is rough i cant lie

[glossy orchid]

In my opinion hardest deck to play on

[signal sonnet]

Harder than Black Deck?

[shy dove]

i havent really gotten it down to a consistent setup

[glossy orchid]

No i dont think so

[shy dove]

i think u lose more on black deck

[glossy orchid]

Cus black deck makes the early game so excruciating

[shy dove]

because black deck will just kill you early game for making the right plays

[signal sonnet]

I struggled so much even tryna get my red stake runs off the ground

[shy dove]

but usually you want some way to scale quickly in chips

[glossy orchid]

I just dont play on black deck at all because i dont hate myself

[shy dove]

you can pivot to mult possibly

[signal sonnet]

Well I'm playing a new Plasma Deck run and I have Crazy and Misprint to start

[shy dove]

but its usually better to just stick w chips

[shy dove]

why would you but those

they barely help w scoring

wait crazy is chips

right

[signal sonnet]

CUZ THEY WERE MY ONLY OPTIONS

[signal sonnet]

Crazy is mult

[shy dove]

you dont take early game jokers that dont do anything for you

these are barely incrementing your score

[signal sonnet]

Devious is chips

[shy dove]

you can beat the first four rounds no jokers

[signal sonnet]

Not if you have my luck bro

[shy dove]

<---- not a bro

[signal sonnet]

CAT/FAIRY

[shy dove]

yeah you got it

[signal sonnet]

This run sucks I'm just gonna start over

[shy dove]

is approximately what i am

[shy dove]

actually you may just need to draw better

[signal sonnet]

Nah CAT/FAIRY it's all cool

[shy dove]

iirc just a flush and a two pair and maybe something extra is all you need for round 4

[signal sonnet]

I got Riff Raff to start

[shy dove]

<----- notably, not a man

i mean if you want my gender

as opposed to like my species

you're looking at "girlish"

do with that what you will

[signal sonnet]

Okay

I got Riff Raff early game

[shy dove]

yeah thats pretty strong

good luck

[signal sonnet]

W Chaos the Clown

Okay so I sold everything and polychromed my Chad cuz I can

Worth

I lost btw

[fierce rain]

happy 2 years balatro

only 17 more until you can drink

[glossy orchid]

Wait is it balatros birthday today

[fierce rain]

yessir

[glossy orchid]

Oh hell yeah

Everyone grab a slice of cake and say happy birthday

[fierce rain]

🍰

happy birthday brochacho

you have ruined many lives but we love you for that

[signal sonnet]

Happy Birthday game I started playing like a month ago cuz my sister's boyfriend got me addicted

[glossy orchid]

Thanks for making me unable to be productive in my free time mr balatro

[tropic spear]

i started playing today and im stuck at ante 5

any tips?

[glossy orchid]

Money

Manage your money

[fierce rain]

hm it took me exactly a week to win my first run

try changing your deck

[glossy orchid]

Like dutch van der linde we NEED money

[signal sonnet]

Okay so in my defense when I sold everything and Hexxed Chad I got Cartomancer, Baseball Card, and Rough Gen immediately the same shop

[lusty canopy]

Yeah there's a learning curve with balatro. Keep playing and you will get better

[fierce rain]

you can also watch youtube videos to learn strategies

i highly recommend Roffle

[glossy orchid]

Roffle my goat

[fierce rain]

yes

[glossy orchid]

Hell yea brother

[signal sonnet]

Well shoot

[tropic spear]

i usually play flush so i need tips on it

[signal sonnet]

Dont

[tropic spear]

why tho

[signal sonnet]

Play a different hand type

[glossy orchid]

Do not

[fierce rain]

i like flushes

[glossy orchid]

Unless on the checkered deck

[obtuse snow]

flushes are fine early game, they just dont have much support

[fierce rain]

he wouldn’t have checkered deck yet

don’t confuse him too much

[glossy orchid]

Yea ik

[obtuse snow]

you could reasonably win multiple white stake runs with just flushes

[signal sonnet]

Guys help I'm playing a new run Ante 2 and my Gros Michale broke and now I'm stuck with Invis and a Negative Abstract

[fierce rain]

yeah i’ve done it many times

[obtuse snow]

hell i won a gold stake run with flushes once

but its less reliable

high card and pairs tend to be the best

[fierce rain]

why the hell do you have a negative abstract

[tropic spear]

what is even a checkered deck

[signal sonnet]

It just kinda showed up

[glossy orchid]

Dont worry abiutbit

[fierce rain]

only hearts and spades

[tropic spear]

damn thats hard af

[obtuse snow]

pairs have more joker support but high cards are more reliable to play + with a burnt joker you can send that to the literal moon

[signal sonnet]

AND THE SHOP HAS NOTHING GOOD TO COPY WHAT DO I DO

[fierce rain]

cry

[signal sonnet]

THE PACK HAS SUPERNOVA AND EGG

[fierce rain]

just keep playing

[glossy orchid]

INVIS IS ONLY GOOD LATE GAME!!!

[fierce rain]

you don’t need to use your invis now either

[signal sonnet]

I GOT WRAITH

[fierce rain]

but yeah it’s ass early game

you blundered bro

[lusty canopy]

Sell it when you run into crimson heart

[signal sonnet]

I happened to get it via Wraith when I had like no money

[fierce rain]

he’s not going to make it to crimson heart if he can’t get past ante 2

[lusty canopy]

Or keep it for moral support

[fierce rain]

are there any celestial packs?

try upgrading a hand

[signal sonnet]

No

[fierce rain]

fuck

hm

how much money do you have

[signal sonnet]

3 dollar

[fierce rain]

sell abstract and reroll

[signal sonnet]

Too late buddy I'm fighting The Mouth

[fierce rain]

hell sell invis too

oh my god bro oh hell no

gg

[glossy orchid]

Me when im giving head

Sorry

[fierce rain]

me when i’m receiving head

sorry

[signal sonnet]

It really wasn't that bad bro I lived

[fierce rain]

i honestly forget what the mouth does

[signal sonnet]

1 hand type

[fierce rain]

i don’t look at the names

oh

yeah

alr what’s this shop have

[signal sonnet]

Chaos the Clown and Splash

[glossy orchid]

Why do tall boss blinds even have names like that

[fierce rain]

reroll

[glossy orchid]

The only one that makes sense is the club

[signal sonnet]

Uhhh Mail In Rebate and Flash Card

[fierce rain]

mail in

grab it

[glossy orchid]

Mail in is great

Best econ joker

[signal sonnet]

I'm outta money now

I'm broke

[glossy orchid]

But you have mail in

You can get that money back

And then some

[fierce rain]

did you buy mail in?

[signal sonnet]

Can I like run you over my jokers rq

[fierce rain]

you can sell invis or abstract

[signal sonnet]

I got uhh Runner, Negative Abstract, Swashbuckler, Invis, and Mail

[fierce rain]

they won’t help you

but if you have mail you’re good

just uh

[signal sonnet]

But I wanna save invis for later

[glossy orchid]

That is some not great score

[fierce rain]

play and discard what it tells you to

[fierce rain]

not worth it

trust

[signal sonnet]

Okay fine

[fierce rain]

fuck now i wanna play balatro

[signal sonnet]

I got 2 Swashbucklers now

[fierce rain]

i haven’t played in months

[glossy orchid]

So real

[fierce rain]

that’s something i guess

[glossy orchid]

Watching others play balatro just makes you wanna play

Or reading for that matter

[fierce rain]

yeah we should get a voice channel

even though the mods say that’ll be impossible to moderate

i say let it be free reign and we can report people who are stinkers

but that’s just me

[signal sonnet]

Is 8 Ball like actually good at all?

[glossy orchid]

It would be so funny if the whole chanel went monkey mode when a good joker shows up in someones stream id love to hear it

NO!

It sucks

[fierce rain]

kill it with fire

[signal sonnet]

Yea I figured I don't think I've had 8 ball trigger once

[fierce rain]

i’ve played for a year and a half and i’ve never really had it get me anywhere

i don’t think it’s impacted a single run of mine

[glossy orchid]

8 ball is literally sixth senses idiot cousin

[signal sonnet]

Free tarot cards are okay but like there are better ways to get tarot cards

[fierce rain]

idiot is putting it lightly btw

[signal sonnet]

Even still 8 Ball barely triggers

[fierce rain]

there’s a much better term for what it is but we aren’t allowed to say that word anymore

[signal sonnet]

Sixth Sense is awesome I love Sixth Sense

[glossy orchid]

Vagabond, pourple seals, cardomancer

And so much mire

[fierce rain]

tfw your laptop dies when it’s plugged in

bruh moment

[signal sonnet]

Sixth Sense saved one of my runs one time uhh don't remenber which but I think I had 2 polychrome Arrowheads

[glossy orchid]

The buttplug combo

[signal sonnet]

Or just 2 arrowheads idk if they were polychrome

[fierce rain]

last played December 21st 2025

gah damn it’s been a minute bud

[glossy orchid]

Damn balatro misses you

[fierce rain]

i’m sorry balatro old buddy old pal i’ve been busy

for some reason i have a blue stake checkered deck run open rn

[signal sonnet]

Dude I'm so mad I fumbled this one run

[fierce rain]

even though i’ve beat gold stake

i have no idea what i was doing

[glossy orchid]

Why would anyone voluntarily play blue stake

[fierce rain]

no sorry orange stake

[signal sonnet]

I HAD Blueprint, Smiley Face, Sock, Scary Face, and Chad

[signal sonnet]

To unlock Plasma

[glossy orchid]

Yea i mean

When you have higher stakes unlocked

[fierce rain]

i had a perishable banan, lusty, blue, eternal mail in rebate, and a rocket

and the reroll and grabber vouchers

[signal sonnet]

Dawg my first winning blue stake run last night was kinda a mess at the start

I had to go with a Straight run after I got Runner and the Order

[fierce rain]

holy shit i have 86 bucks what was i cooking

[glossy orchid]

Average mail in rebate moment

[fierce rain]

ohhh was i trying to get the $400 achievement

[signal sonnet]

And photochad

[fierce rain]

i totally was

i’ve still never gotten that achievement

[signal sonnet]

I found that one run I was talking about before I had a screenshot

[fierce rain]

looks like i was playing hearts

that checks out

[glossy orchid]

I got that on accident from a really good run i dont remember how it happend

[signal sonnet]

2 Arrowheads, Throwback, Polychrome Juggler, and Lucky Cat

[fierce rain]

i’ve got a lot of kings and queens of hearts

i was really confused what i was cooking

but honestly i was cooking with heat

looks like i was trying to setup a baron run

or a flush 5

[signal sonnet]

God damn

I'm continuning my current run and I got Blueprint from a Judgement

[fierce rain]

tfw you remember it’s orange stake and now you have no more discards

goddamn maybe i wasn’t cooking

i’m scoring literally nothing

damn game over

i failed on small blind ante 5

[steel fiber]

with 8 ball's old effect, there was a joker that could spawn planet cards
but since 8 ball was changed, there's not really a vanilla joker that spawns planet cards

[signal sonnet]

Okay I barely pulled through that round bro I need better Jokers

[fierce rain]

why did i have flush 5 but no hands levelled up

[signal sonnet]

Me when The Tribe

I HAVE NO OTHER X MULT JOKERS

[hushed lintel]

now why on earth in the toilet are there pliers

[fierce rain]

alr so i gotta take the double tag polychrome tag for the bit right

[hushed lintel]

but would that be the correct decision

[fierce rain]

polychrome hiker and dagger

[hushed lintel]

you got those?

[fierce rain]

yeah

[signal sonnet]

Guys I'm so good at this game

[fierce rain]

nope fake thunk

[shy dove]

plus from a game design standpoint

[fierce rain]

i got bamboozled

[shy dove]

you just confuse the hell out of players

[scenic cliff]

[signal sonnet]

More chips = more chips

[shy dove]

multiplying mult makes sense since its already a multiplier

[fierce rain]

Make Balatros birthday makes me so hungry i could eat a

[signal sonnet]

[shy dove]

multiplying chips doesnt have that same sort of intuitiveness

[signal sonnet]

But

It's funny

[fierce rain]

i’m really disappointed

i had to can myself

and then someone else did it too

but still

[scenic cliff]

Well, to be fair, you didn't say the h word

[fierce rain]

i know

but it was implied

IT WAS IMPLIEEEEDD

[shy dove]

@ lucalthonk when will you add the "kills you" joker that jumps out of your screen and kills you in real life?

[fierce rain]

screw it im changing my name to localthunk for the day

[signal sonnet]

THIS RUN SUCKS

[edgy fjord]

Omg Richard Nixon

[shy dove]

[shy dove]

[scenic cliff]

Hello localthunk localthunk

[fierce rain]

[fierce rain]

[edgy fjord]

[fierce rain]

well you don’t make the rules

[compact stump]

[signal sonnet]

Bro that's personality fraud don't do that

[fierce rain]

i wholeheartedly believe the real thunk (me) will chat at some point and nobody will even realize

[compact stump]

hey thunk 👋

[fierce rain]

[signal sonnet]

They should add like a Joker that just retriggers all other Jokers or something idk I'm lazy and not good with coming up with ideas

[shy dove]

@ thuncallock please make jimbos named dilbert instead

it would be so funny

[fierce rain]

you’re looking mighty thunky today, thunk

[shy dove]

its a horrible idea and makes no sense but thats okay because its funny

[compact stump]

I could say the same to you, thunk

[fierce rain]

damn dude am i looking more local than usual, thunk?

[edgy fjord]

Gary mcgreagy

[scenic cliff]

I'd say just the perfect amount of local and thunking, localthunk

[fierce rain]

thank you for your kind words, localthunk. they mean a lot, especially coming from someone as local to my thunk as you are.

[compact stump]

lol

[signal sonnet]

Idk

Kill 8 Ball

[compact stump]

idol is not made for gold stake cry abt it

[scenic cliff]

dont force people to change their names please

[fierce rain]

just change your serve profile

[signal sonnet]

Imagine only playing Gold Stake

[fierce rain]

do it no balls

[shy dove]

thats like kind of misgendering in a weird way

for me

not accusing u of being phobic

[fierce rain]

you have no pronouns

[compact stump]

even the real thunk said it’s so bad it might get reworked

[shy dove]

i would feel like im misgendering myself

[fierce rain]

what am i supposed to say

do it no uh

boobs?

[shy dove]

yeah? i do?

[fierce rain]

idk

Get their pronouns right

[shy dove]

"what if i killed my run" "what if my pronouns were fridge"

[scenic cliff]

We're slowly dissolving

[signal sonnet]

THATS NOT ME

[fierce rain]

[scenic cliff]

[fierce rain]

wait what

[scenic cliff]

I'm free from the shackles of eating chips

[compact stump]

I lied

[signal sonnet]

I like this name more

[fierce rain]

that’s silly

[compact stump]

[fierce rain]

i’m gerald ford now

[signal sonnet]

Be Clob now

[fierce rain]

thunk

the real one

he’s a silly guy

[scenic cliff]

how can you be so sure

[fierce rain]

i’m now the guy that pardoned nixon

[scenic cliff]

it could've been any one of the mods

[compact stump]

tru

[fierce rain]

because i know the kind of goober jokes thunk makes

yeah see

[compact stump]

why my name clob

[fierce rain]

he’s a true goober

[compact stump]

I wanna know

[signal sonnet]

Funny

[fierce rain]

because it’s funny

[compact stump]

fair

[signal sonnet]

Be Clob now it's better than your old name

[compact stump]

that’s mean

[signal sonnet]

I'm sorry

Clob

[compact stump]

i’ll leave it

not forever tho

[fierce rain]

i lowk wonder if thunk had to do research for presidents important to nixons scandals

because we’re canadian and there’s no reason for us to know that

either way baller pick

[compact stump]

ionno

[fierce rain]

oh sweet he’s just got it in his temple

maybe bro just knows his presidents

[compact stump]

thunk why are you hiding today

ain’t feeling local

[fierce rain]

tfw things get too local for your thunk

hey man it’s fine you don’t have to type

[compact stump]

lol

[fierce rain]

just contribute to the convo with reactions

[compact stump]

yeah answer with reactions

[fierce rain]

it’s honestly funnier that way

[compact stump]

true

[fierce rain]

you’re like an omnipresent goober ghost

[signal sonnet]

Uhhh is Throwback that good

[fierce rain]

that dishes out approval

[fierce rain]

i have zero recollection of what throwback does

[compact stump]

you want the real answer or what you want to hear?

[glossy orchid]

I have personal hatred towards throwback

[fierce rain]

oh that guy

[glossy orchid]

I want him publicly executed

[signal sonnet]

You skip and get more xmult

[fierce rain]

he’s alright

depends how much you skip

[signal sonnet]

What do YOU think of Throwback Mr. Clob

[compact stump]

Ass.

[signal sonnet]

Explain please

[compact stump]

like really bad

[glossy orchid]

Skipping is the dumbest thing one can do

[signal sonnet]

But what if I have 4 dollars the skip gives me like 32 dollars

Yknow just as a hypothetical

[glossy orchid]

No dude

Stop

[fierce rain]

i’ll be so fr for the first month of my balatro career i didn’t even realize skipping was an option

[glossy orchid]

Never skip

[fierce rain]

well

[signal sonnet]

Too bad I skipped that one Blue Stake run and WON

[fierce rain]

that’s not good advice either

skip occasionally

[glossy orchid]

EXEPT ante one small blind maybe

MAYBE

[compact stump]

Throwback just makes skips more profitable but they are still bad, in a round and shop you get better value than .25X most of the time

[glossy orchid]

and anaglyph deck ante 7 or 8 if its something REALLY good

[signal sonnet]

I think I had Throwback on 3X mult one time I'm pretty sure that was the Merry Andy run though I don't member

[glossy orchid]

But be so very hesitant with your skips for the love of god

[fierce rain]

you’re all dissing on throwback but he’s the goat when it comes to getting the achievement for skipping all the small and big blinds of a run

just saying

[compact stump]

A SINGLE achievement

yeah he’s good for that ig

still ass overall

[signal sonnet]

And Merry Andy don't forget them

[glossy orchid]

I got that without throwback not to brag

[fierce rain]

i did too

[signal sonnet]

12 rounds and allat

[compact stump]

same

[fierce rain]

but still

he would’ve been great

i don’t even remember what i won with that time

i think maybe hologram actually

[glossy orchid]

Thats like saying idol is good because it helps with naneinf

Its only good for one thing

[compact stump]

baron*

[fierce rain]

fine how about we just delete every joker you guys don’t like then

i personally quite like throwback

[glossy orchid]

Im not saying jokers i dont like should not exist

[signal sonnet]

I don't like that one Joker very much remove them

[compact stump]

that’s your opinion, you were the first to attack my opinion

[fierce rain]

sometimes you can get him up to 2.5x mult and he just kinda sits there

he’s nice

[glossy orchid]

A rouglelike just needs to have some good options and some stinkers thats just how it works

[signal sonnet]

If we got Square Joker where's Triangle Joker

[fierce rain]

ok well

[compact stump]

thunk u still here?

[shy dove]

throwbacks not useless i think

[fierce rain]

i think throwback is great for white stake

gold stake no

[glossy orchid]

Circular joker or we riot

[compact stump]

he’s not

[fierce rain]

but white yes

[pallid sapphire]

I mean you can beat white stake jokerless lol

[shy dove]

it just adds .25 xmult to skip value

[signal sonnet]

I used him for Green Stake once

[fierce rain]

well green stake is green stake

[pallid sapphire]

if you skipped the whole first ante then throwback is like having a whole polychrome

[glossy orchid]

the humble ghost deck:

[fierce rain]

sometimes i just be skipping blinds for the love of the game

[signal sonnet]

Fair

[pallid sapphire]

what hex? sold for interest

[fierce rain]

makes life more interesting

[viscid tundra]

What's y'all's favorite suit?

[pallid sapphire]

clubs

[signal sonnet]

Diamonds

[fierce rain]

hearts

[glossy orchid]

Clubs even tho im spades in this server

[fierce rain]

dude you ruined it

[shy dove]

hearts because pretty

[signal sonnet]

Bro you ruined the joke

[fierce rain]

you should’ve said spades

[glossy orchid]

Clubs is my favorite suit to build flushes around

Alright alright

[shy dove]

in terms of actual like

good jokers

[pallid sapphire]

agate go brrr

[glossy orchid]

SPADES I LOVE SPADES

[shy dove]

its spades i think

actually no

[glossy orchid]

YEASSSS SPADES WE LOVE SPADES

[shy dove]

seeing souble

[signal sonnet]

Its too late now the joke's over

[fierce rain]

yeah dude moments gone

[pallid sapphire]

how does one see souble

[shy dove]

its clubs i think

[fierce rain]

hey mr man is back

[shy dove]

idk i dont really care much abt suits

[glossy orchid]

Are you familiar with alcohol

[pallid sapphire]

yes

I see

[compact stump]

is it bad that i don’t have a favorite suit to build around?

[signal sonnet]

If you don't play with High Constant cards I don't trust you

[glossy orchid]

No

You dont need to

[fierce rain]

mr localthunk what are your thoughts on throwback joker? respond with only reactions please

[pallid sapphire]

no, that's the ideal player

[compact stump]

i just build around the first boss suit i see

like always

[shy dove]

no suits and rank dont matter too much

[signal sonnet]

I just play around the first few jokers I get

[compact stump]

rank do a lot imo

[pallid sapphire]

delayed gratif build

[compact stump]

well not

[viscid tundra]

I like hearts and spades personally

[compact stump]

nvm

[fierce rain]

god i’m so tired

[compact stump]

i’m dumb

[shy dove]

it matters if you have certain cards

[signal sonnet]

Uhhh make a Stone Deck where the whole deck is just Stone Cards idk

[compact stump]

yeah forget abt that

[shy dove]

like yeah it matters with midas mask or 8 ball or whatever

but for a lot of builds its pretty pointless

usually if i focus down a rank its because i found a good card of that rank

and because i wanna make rebate money better

[compact stump]

If i see a certain joker that needs a certain rank i’ll just do that

When i don’t have those i’ll build around 9

[pallid sapphire]

based 9s enjoyer

[compact stump]

getting cloud 9 big has helped me quite a few times

[fierce rain]

chat i should be doing school but ive been procrastinating so much lately that im really far behind and i could catch up but i have zero motivation and feel really useless

[shy dove]

i do face cards usually

[compact stump]

fr now

[shy dove]

since theres a lot of good face card econ generators

[compact stump]

risky

[shy dove]

is it?

[pallid sapphire]

what do you need to do

might help to list out what your goals need to be so you can conceptualize rather than dreading it

[shy dove]

yeah the plant and whatever but usually i dont care abt the score from them

its just the money

[fierce rain]

it’s just a class for my comptia certification

i’ve just been procrastinating and the deadline is the end of march

and i’m like not even halfway

[shy dove]

so i might miss out on money from the plant but the money comes out a lot better throughout the entire run

[compact stump]

yeah but if you had an ancient joker or some build that gets scoring from cards that can be risky

[fierce rain]

seasonal depression hit me really hard

[signal sonnet]

Imagine being in school

[fierce rain]

it’s college

online

but yeah

[signal sonnet]

Still school

[compact stump]

?

[pallid sapphire]

just power your way through what you need to do earlier the better, so you have time to do stuff you really like

[fierce rain]

i just wanted to get another certificate but like holy fuck i have zero motivation

i honestly should’ve waited until winter was over

but i already spent a couple thousand bucks

i won’t lie i’m like 11 modules of 28 done right now

started middle of january

ends end of march

sorry

this is really derailing

you guys talk

i’ll stop

[signal sonnet]

I really don't like

[mellow parrot]

[neon galleon]

I just completed my first challenge but I'm not getting the Steam achievement.

[edgy fjord]

What happened

[obtuse snow]

hi localth2nk

[signal sonnet]

I'm bored and my other main server keeps talking about some Roblox Undertale game

[visual basin]

Mike, kill everyone affiliated with roblox

[signal sonnet]

Uhhh like

Flower Pot is mid or something

[vital zephyr]

uh

[sharp hollow]

flower pot is awesome wdym

i sure love having a joker that only works on some straights (no wild)

two pairs don't exist

[oblique isle]

Full house doesn’t exist either

[signal sonnet]

My sister doesn't like Wee Joker very much for some reason

Wee Joker is probably the best scaling Joker chip-wise in the game

[oblique isle]

She must hate children

[signal sonnet]

I got Wee Joker up to like 800 before

[steep raft]

Hi chat

[amber rune]

Has thunk been messaging here since that guy said he was keeping a document

I havent seen him

[signal sonnet]

He said happy brithday earlier

[glossy orchid]

Thunk is understandably too uncomfortable to even say anything anymore

[fierce rain]

he reacted to a couple messages but that’s about it

[steel fiber]

jesus christ...

[glass wharf]

Try to do a small good step today, just study 1 hour is good
Tomorrow try to study little more, then it'll became easier

[fierce rain]

thank you

[snow fog]

Yeah I don’t blame him he is already not comfortable being in the spotlight

[tight goblet]

I just got to ante 2 on black deck, that's enough for today.

[fierce rain]

he’s a very anonymous man so for something like that to have been said it must’ve spooked him

[tight goblet]

Time to go sleep for the entire weekend

night lads

[snow fog]

It’s kinda inevitable though that with a game this big there will be some people who violate the devs privacy

Especially when an update is being hyped up

[fierce rain]

i have no experiences to compare to thunks popularity

[amber rune]

#🃏・off-topic

[fierce rain]

so i couldn’t

imagine

[snow fog]

Whenever I meet famous people I always treat them like normal people and they tend to appreciate it. Nobody really wants to be treated like a symbol or character

[fierce rain]

i still think we should boot the wiki guy and move on with our lives

ive met famous people before and as long as you treat them with respect and don’t try to invade their privacy they’re usually cool about it

like yes obviously you’re going to act a little different around them because you subconsciously hold them on a pedestal

[rare yew]

I'm not chatting less in here because of anything that was said, I'm chatting less because I should probably be chatting less for a variety of reasons

• it does feel a bit parasocial which is uncomfortable, but I get it and I don't blame anyone for that, just the nature of the situation
• I'm being probably a bit too casual in here anyway
• it takes up a lot of time and I've been busy/having fun just drawing pixel art and implementing things lately

[fierce rain]

but as long as you aren’t creepy about it
