[lunar zealot]

?

[cosmic sun]

I think in this context they were insulted

[jolly relic]

in this context im referring to someone that was just calling it an opinion

[sly coral]

its not deflecting i went up to so many people and gave opinions,gave compliments etc no one seemed mad as long as i was respectful sometimes people might need someones elses perspective and if u dont just ignore them

[vocal rose]

ah okay and they were doing the "but its just my opinion!!" thing

[sly coral]

i wouldnt mind any random insulting me

[cosmic sun]

compliments, not insults like the person said

[vocal rose]

yeah thats not okay

[pale wolf]

I fell while running!
well why were you wearing high heels while running
god imagine walking up to a stranger and just insulting their shoes, what is wrong with you

[vocal rose]

I don't think they were talking about you specifically

[cosmic sun]

you might not mind but who is to say the next person wouldn't

[jolly relic]

also is it wrong to think cheaters in multiplayer games deserve like far worse than just a simple ban (that can also probably be bypassed) or whatever

[vocal rose]

since your examples are in good intentions

[sly coral]

i wasnt talking about the first question

[pale wolf]

yea I think a finger is a proper payment

[slender creek]

i’ve deadass been cheating in geoguessr for 2 years

[vocal rose]

whats far worse

[jolly relic]

also

[vocal rose]

very vague question

[jolly relic]

yes i understand the opinions could vary

[vocal rose]

like should they deserve capital punishment or something

[sly coral]

i need to get %100 and 10k highcard at the same time

[jolly relic]

like being nice and being a bitch

so

[white zodiac]

so anywhoo should I gold sticker or do the stupid

[pale wolf]

🫎

[jolly relic]

but

[cosmic sun]

bootstraps is ass and a lesson on the old saying of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, which is often extremely unhelpful

[slender creek]

instead we need to have public execution

[jolly relic]

perhaps

[pale wolf]

bootstraps fits the theming by seeming equivalent to actually useful things but actually being useless

[strange agate]

How does BLACK board interact with rocks?

[pale wolf]

Stone cards are not spades or clubs

therefore they are cards that aren't spades or clubs

[jolly relic]

i mean atleast proper enforcement ensuring theyre never able to play the game again

but thats bare minimum

[still frost]

How do you go about doing that?

[jolly relic]

idk not my job

[strange agate]

So even if you convert a spade into a rock, BLACKboard will NOT give the x3m

[jolly relic]

just my thoughts

[strange agate]

Thanks 🙏

[pale wolf]

yes

[unreal island]

What is balatro even about

[pale wolf]

you can't hold stone cards in hand with blackboard

[lunar zealot]

Balatro at its core is about making something from nothing

It is a story of hope

even in the face of adversity

[cosmic sun]

I've thought of this at times and my mind always goes to surveillance because we are headed down a dark path

🗿

[unreal island]

JIMBO MADE THIS IN ANTE 2 WITH A BOX OF BOOTSTRAPS

[still frost]

Well I'm sure someone would have started doing it if it was realistic

[jolly relic]

it is realistic

nothing stops cheaters rn

[unreal island]

Kill them

[still frost]

Yeah that's the issue lol. I know Korea has some crazy restrictions though, like for League of Legends you need your SSN/Phone Number tied to your SSN

[unreal island]

(Ingame)

[jolly relic]

they just dont care

[cosmic sun]

you want the justice system to step in?

[ivory sun]

hehe

thanks showman very helpful

[still frost]

If it's realistic surely you can think of something that won't lead to insane data breaches, get misused, or be too risky if a false positive happens

[cosmic sun]

wild name typing

[jolly relic]

honestly there does need to be like so much more enforcement on the internet cause like the things ive seen are actually atrocious

there are like

[terse dock]

tfw you try to cheat in cod with cheat engine and so you get scammed out of $80

[quartz ember]

you also need to get 1.000e100 best hand

[jolly relic]

potentially somr bad things that coulf happen with that though like with that one leak or whatever cause of the restrictions on discord and stuff

[slender creek]

wish there was a joker related to wild cards in your deck like steel joker or stone joker so wild cards can actually do something

[terse dock]

Wild cards do do something

[strange agate]

Looks inside... Red Deck (Streak 1). EZ run, gonna take a break for now

[jolly relic]

whats tfw

[terse dock]

that face when

[iron otter]

dear god

why would you do that to yourself

[terse dock]

Bans are enough

[jolly relic]

bans that dont work

[cosmic sun]

you saw the funny name typing right

[jolly relic]

even if they do get banned there are ways around

theyre not enough

[terse dock]

They are enough

[jolly relic]

nowhere near enough

[terse dock]

If the person is determined enough there is a way around anyway

[jolly relic]

just say ur a cheater and move on

[jolly relic]

what

[royal bobcat]

What should be banned

[terse dock]

Your logic is bad

[cosmic sun]

I think you should free your mind and let others figure this stuff out. Cheaters are always trying to get a rise out of people so I never give them the time of day.

[royal bobcat]

Salsa stop cheating

[floral mural]

if someone is detrmined to cheat and evade bans you need a better anti cheat not bigger bans

for any game

[jolly relic]

youre practically saying there should be zero punishment for cheating

[floral mural]

anyways balatro

[slender creek]

ok what is your solution to cheaters in games

[terse dock]

There will be zero punishment anyway if the cheater is determined enough

[quartz ember]

my logic is that this discussion should be banned into #🃏・off-topic

[terse dock]

If there is a will there is a way

If bans dont work you need a better anticheat as is

[jolly relic]

there never is any punishment

[ivory sun]

terrible news they’d removed the poop emoji

[floral mural]

god nebula is so boring i dont wanna play it. and black feels like i dont make progress

[royal bobcat]

[cosmic sun]

💩

[floral mural]

do i just do zodiac as my next gold stake?

[jolly relic]

idk

[ivory sun]

terrible news i’m blind and can’t see what’s in front of me selectively

[royal bobcat]

KILL them

[terse dock]

And there will be no punishment short of public execution lest the cheater gives up

[twin lantern]

Wtf is this 😭

[slender creek]

brazen bull

[jolly relic]

maybe actual enforcement idk 🙃

[floral mural]

its the only fun deck i have left tbh

[twin lantern]

Nice run on freaking abandoned deck

[terse dock]

Your argument is a circle

I'm dropping out

[royal bobcat]

Erm Balatro is a pixelated game there are no circles

[floral mural]

erratic is lame and anaglyph is underwhelming since the decks effect isnt really in the first 4 antes

[terse dock]

anaglyph is just a base deck

[cosmic sun]

you will reroll for 6 9s

[twin lantern]

Every game is pixelated actually lmao

[floral mural]

i guess i should try and finish plasma gold stske but its rough

[royal bobcat]

No

[lunar zealot]

i may die

but i will die rich

[floral mural]

currently plasma is on orange

[terse dock]

Yes

[royal bobcat]

Video games? Yes

But I talked about games

So

[cosmic sun]

craziest semantics

[royal bobcat]

Atoms aren't pixels

[terse dock]

Reality is pixelated too

[royal bobcat]

Sorry chatters

[terse dock]

Quarks are pixels

[lunar zealot]

matador wishes it could have this much burst econ

[royal bobcat]

You gotta be quick with it

Hi kami

[twin lantern]

You're talking about Balatro. Balatro is a videogame, and every video game is pixelated. Don't try to look smart by just correcting me saying "you said games 🤓☝️"

lol

[royal bobcat]

I did say games tho

[cosmic sun]

kid named the resolution of the human eye

[royal bobcat]

[terse dock]

Bacoj

[twin lantern]

Is Balatro a videogame or a game?

[terse dock]

Fbeixn ids

Snskxo ifoelqla n jdocobidi

[lunar zealot]

🥀

[royal bobcat]

Both, obviously

[cosmic sun]

ez recover

[terse dock]

My life is like a video game

[royal bobcat]

You wouldn't call a video game "not a game"

[terse dock]

Trying hard to beat the stage

[royal bobcat]

Ronnie <3

[terse dock]

Red dead redemption 2 is not a game

[cosmic sun]

bro used the semantics ult

[twin lantern]

not is not both. Is a videogame. Sub gender of game but it has its own category called VIDEO game

:D

[royal bobcat]

But it is still a game though

Card games are game

Solitary is a game

[terse dock]

Does everyone here have a specialized ult

[twin lantern]

you're definitely hanging on the Chad...

[royal bobcat]

Shaking my head in disappointment

[cosmic sun]

yeah

[twin lantern]

yeah dude you're just hanging

[cosmic sun]

the ragebaiters have one

[terse dock]

am I a ragebaiter

[cosmic sun]

I have one, it's called telling people about pair

[royal bobcat]

Don't be so obvious Mr sunfishlover42069

[twin lantern]

how many people you have ragebaited?

[cosmic sun]

your ult is being nanlet oppenheimer

[terse dock]

5826

[vocal rose]

it has the same amount of burst econ

[royal bobcat]

Who should I ragebait next

[vocal rose]

when it hits

[royal bobcat]

I'm kinda good at it tho u gotta give me that

[terse dock]

Why ragebait when you can master bait

[twin lantern]

you can't be considered a ragebaiter then

[royal bobcat]

🤤

[terse dock]

Go fishing

[twin lantern]

Sounds more productive

[cosmic sun]

naur

[vocal rose]

see business card NEEDED blueprint to be on matadors level

if matador had bp he’d be balling

[royal bobcat]

Well high card is better though

[twin lantern]

bro ngl but I like more brainstorm than blue print

Brainstorm is just better

[cosmic sun]

your ult is on cd

[royal bobcat]

That's not semantics

U don't play baron with pairs iirc

[vocal rose]

bro just lying 🤣

[cosmic sun]

the lion does not concern himself with endless ragebait

[royal bobcat]

Chat isn't fun when people try to ragebait one another

Nobody cares and just keeps trying

We are the sisyphus

[jolly relic]

slime rancher installing

[cosmic sun]

good, good

[cosmic sun]

bro is NOT NL

[royal bobcat]

Netherlands

[jolly relic]

who is nl

[royal bobcat]

I am indeed not a country

[jolly relic]

whos that

[lunar zealot]

toxic yuri?

toxic or doomed

both?

[jolly relic]

im also installing hitman woa

[royal bobcat]

Little did he know nothernlion agrees with him

[cosmic sun]

im not telling ypu i just thought that picture of him was funny

[royal bobcat]

Wait no I didn't read the last part

[cosmic sun]

bald man, he's clearly NL

[cedar shell]

just toxic

[floral mural]

always devil here right?

emperor is tempting

thats all

[cedar shell]

but rebate and gratification is even worse

[jolly relic]

emperor

[cosmic sun]

northernlion is probably the stark opposite of a person who uses bsky

[jolly relic]

cause its gonna give another emperor and a hermit

[floral mural]

took the devil

its gurranteed rather a gamble if its good

[royal bobcat]

Northernlion probably plays on a computer that has 2008 specs

[terse dock]

Yuri

[jolly relic]

playing hitman woa guys

[sharp remnant]

Can we buff hit the road please

[royal bobcat]

It's very obviously yaoi

[jolly relic]

no

[royal bobcat]

Hit my road

[cedar shell]

why are we buffing hit the road

i want to hear the reasoning behind this

[sharp remnant]

Becuase lucky cat and vampire are better and can get times mult way faster and doesn’t reset and is uncommon and hit the road is rare and should be more powerful and not reset after every blind

[vocal rose]

it’s being buffed via blue stake rework

[terse dock]

Northernlion is not Grok

[unreal island]

CHAT

PRAY ITS PERKEO

PRAY

PRAY

[vocal rose]

“times mult way faster” when vampire is one of the slowest scaling x mult

[cosmic sun]

cano

[unreal island]

Synergy!

[vocal rose]

htr scales faster than both combined

[sharp remnant]

Well it gets to keep it unlike hit the road

[unreal island]

Go fuck urself

/j

[vocal rose]

yes and if it didn’t it would be stupidly unbalanced

[cosmic sun]

goat cano

[unreal island]

True!

[terse dock]

way faster

Look I don't like using this language much but are you stupid

[vocal rose]

the only rework it needs is the blue stake rework

[unreal island]

Guess i gotta pivot

[sharp remnant]

But lucky cat is op and works better

[vocal rose]

I agree

[cosmic sun]

lucky cat is gambling

[vocal rose]

but your points are very shaky

[cosmic sun]

htr is also gambling in a sense but you put cat over it

[sharp remnant]

My point is that the joker is rarer and should be better

[strange agate]

Blue Deck; Shop 1. Let's see how many know the truth. ||DNA is my fav joker btw||

[cosmic sun]

the tribe

[sharp remnant]

Make it 2.5 I guess

[vocal rose]

it’s decent as it is

obviously very nerfed by the shitty blue stake

whenever that gets changed it’ll shine even more

it’s underrated

[sharp remnant]

Nobody uses it why do jacks when you can do kings or queens

[terse dock]

Not necessarily

Every joker is situational some are just more situational than others

[cosmic sun]

you should probably try HTR more but maybe stop putting face cards on a pedestal cause that is the impression I'm getting

[vocal rose]

because what benefits do they provide you over jacks lmfao

queens have STM

which is okay

and baron is shit

[cosmic sun]

photochad!!!!!!!1111

trib!!11!

[vocal rose]

trib is true

[cosmic sun]

which you don't get every game

[vocal rose]

but nobody preemptively building for that

😭

[sharp remnant]

Baron can nan inf wtf are you talking about

[lunar zealot]

'pick your poison' ahh jokers

[vocal rose]

oh my god

he’s a nanlet

[terse dock]

you pull a trib 1/200 games if youre lucky

[cosmic sun]

I knew it

why is it so easy to clock face card players

[vocal rose]

you can just tell

[lunar zealot]

hello chat

[hardy fable]

bait used to be believable or smth like that

[cosmic sun]

I sentence you to 5 years abandoned deck @sharp remnant learn something

🗿

[boreal haven]

finally

[formal abyss]

stm is unique in that +mult for held in hand effects goes rly strong vs xmulters even a little later on

[cosmic sun]

you ulted I fear

[blissful bronze]

HOLY ANTE 1 JUDGEMENT

[formal abyss]

actually now that i think abt it do we even have any held in hand +multer other than stm

[lunar zealot]

raised fist

you fool

you absolute buffoon

[formal abyss]

...yo i forgot

[lunar zealot]

how could you forget

[terse vale]

this is why you take ante one luchador

[cosmic sun]

fist red seal mime 🗣️

[unborn cliff]

wraith with blueprint incoming

[unborn cliff]

luchador is the best speculative joker

[cosmic sun]

imagine lining up a gold card with fisted mime

[unborn cliff]

fisted mime

[formal abyss]

do people still call oops speculative

[unborn cliff]

oops is speculative a lot

[formal abyss]

i feel like

[unborn cliff]

how it feels to take oops all 6s with literally nothing chance based in your deck

[cosmic sun]

I guess, you don't always get oops synergies

[formal abyss]

its less situational than parei is

[boreal haven]

NO ONE CAN STOP MEEEEEEEEE

[unborn cliff]

dice is oops bro

[terse vale]

just found chad

chips are settled

[unborn cliff]

[terse vale]

I want to greed so bad

[primal grotto]

check out what i found in the comments on the official tutorial

[cosmic sun]

youtu

[unborn cliff]

why do people comment "jesus loves you" under the most random stuff like yeah i know man

[cosmic sun]

how it feels to accidentally one shot with grimbo

[unborn cliff]

i mean thats wraith but better so

[cosmic sun]

dead internet theory

[blissful bronze]

definately

[terse vale]

I realized I would have won in 2 no matter what hand I played but too late

[unborn cliff]

people playground video where the youtuber is literally tearing people limb from limb or something
comment laughing about a joke
reply "jesus loves you"

how is this relevant

[cosmic sun]

i always want a fat grimbo so wee can stay at whatever

[boreal haven]

🫵

[unborn cliff]

gift card soon

[primal grotto]

probably because of the pride flag pfp but i really like the "do not proselytise" response

[vestal fern]

omori fandom got a gif for everything atp

Imma get it rq

[boreal haven]

OH SHIT

[hardy fable]

I LOST, WITH REBATE, AND TRIBOULET BECAUSE OF ONE BOSS

[lunar zealot]

i fucking love bbc

crimson heart moment

my fucking GOAT

best joker in the game i do not accept criticism

tell me ONE reason why bbc isn't good

[terse vale]

ok that stings

banner for mountain tho

[versed crest]

Eggcellent

[unreal island]

Ok guys attempt.2

[cedar shell]

you must understand that i dont play baseball card enough for it to be the first thing that comes to mind when i read bbc

[unreal island]

Perkeo and then we search for the cryptid

Ts sucks

[cedar shell]

i spam riff-raff, baseball card is useless to me

[lunar zealot]

why does bro have 3 dollar on yellow deck

[boreal haven]

15 minute city?
This sounds like a good challenge for straights as long as I don't have any face-
...

[lunar zealot]

i mean

2 ways to play 15 minute city tbh

pairmaxx and straightmaxx

free ride the bus makes pair runs really easy

lmao

[boreal haven]

oh I see

oh, just got cartomancer
If I'm lucky I'm able to destroy face cards

[lunar zealot]

Honestly going into challenges with gold stake mentality makes it much easier

[terse vale]

overstock

it is totally worth it pretty sure like 75% sure

[royal bobcat]

This abbreviation is as bad as cyberpunk's

[cedar shell]

manifesting a trousers for my run (i leveled two pair once)

[royal bobcat]

Why would I watch kpop demon hunters I don't like kpop

Uh... Trousers

[feral patrol]

hello ppl who are way better at balatro than me, is this worth selling anything from my jokers 💔

[heavy silo]

by the time i beat purple stake ill be married and have 2 kids

[cedar shell]

how hard are you playing into paradolia

[heavy silo]

the is coming

[feral patrol]

i dread it

[feral patrol]

pretty hard which is why im kind of iffy on it since i have toher jokers than tie into it

[cedar shell]

what does your deck and planets look like

[unreal island]

Oh wow a tie

[cosmic sun]

todd ler

[feral patrol]

not fantastic but here

[terse vale]

its crazy how wee is just free chips

[heavy silo]

blackboard is situational af but easy to deck fix
but odd toad is goat

[feral patrol]

i will be losing at the plant for sure 😭

[cedar shell]

GIVE ME YOUR TROUSERS

[patent prairie]

yes!!

[unreal island]

8 votes seems cool

[terse vale]

I dont wanna

[unreal island]

Tie breakee between bb and ot

[cedar shell]

bb

[unreal island]

Oh nvm odd toddithan won

[feral patrol]

💔💔

[cedar shell]

i change my vote

[cosmic sun]

bb fits anywhere, just that todd is funny

[unreal island]

Thanks guys

[cedar shell]

unfortunate day for odd todd lovers everywhere

[random ice]

Odd Todd is a solid Joker

[heavy silo]

odd todd fans will persist...

[left pine]

Nobody picked delayed gratification

As it should be

[random ice]

38% of cards in a standard 52 card deck are odd numbers

So it's very easy to proc

[heavy silo]

any jonkler that doesnt want me to discard is in my 'hated' list

i hate green joker for the same reason i hate dg

[cosmic sun]

hop off grimbo

the goat doesn't need discards it simply gets to 80 through sheer focus

[heavy silo]

i discard more than i play hands

even though i dont even play big hands like flush or straight

well recently im becoming straight

[cosmic sun]

red deck lover?

[lunar zealot]

why is it white stake o clock

Blackboard is a free x3 mult

just play pairs

[terse vale]

forget about the cavendish man

and temperance in the pack

I know what I have to do

[cosmic sun]

free game

[heavy silo]

half my held in hand is diamonds and hearts

[buoyant ridge]

is black deck gold stake always winnable ?

[cosmic sun]

I mean if it's that bad you can always use suit changers or reduce your hand size, otherwise pair people just put the non blackboard cards in their hands

that's 3 more cards to select

[terse dock]

Yes

[cosmic sun]

what the fuck are you ulting for

[white zodiac]

in very little scenarios is there 6 red suits in your hand

[terse dock]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[cosmic sun]

call me jokenheimer

[cosmic sun]

oh yeah he got everyone 💀

"erm just an innocent poll and not an endless run"

[tranquil steppe]

Seeded run or nah?

[unreal island]

nope

[tranquil steppe]

Bigly impressive

[worldly sphinx]

I don’t understand the different between a joker that says +4 mult to a joker that says x2mult.

[buoyant ridge]

is black deck gold stake always winnable

[modest spade]

Yes!

[terse vale]

insanely late obelisk saved me

[heavy silo]

i guess i become special when i have blackboard in my hand

[terse vale]

got it like 2 rounds ago holy

I don’t ever wanna hear obelisk slander ever again

[cosmic sun]

your score display is chips on the left, mult on the right, chips times mult
xmult is multiplying the mult value instead of adding to it

[buoyant ridge]

how is black deck gold stake possible ? sometimes there are dead seeds

[heavy silo]

ive yet to play a run with obelisk

properly

[tranquil steppe]

Obelisk is trash

[cosmic sun]

no, get better

[modest spade]

Look at doc getting C++ no losses rotating decks

[terse vale]

abysmal bait

[heavy silo]

wouldnt dead seeds be applicable to every deck as well

[buoyant ridge]

yeah but he had big luck with that

same seeds imo are impossible to win on black deck gold stake

[heavy silo]

just because youre a hand short i dont think its that much of a disadvantage

[terse dock]

Every seed is winnable with perfect information

[cosmic sun]

you should stop blaming everything on rng

[tranquil steppe]

I’m working through all decks to get gold. Only done red and blue so far. Might skip ahead to black just because you think it’s impossible

[buoyant ridge]

but its walways like this that i pick something good, but later becomes useless and have to rebuild my build

[terse dock]

"Guys look i found an unwinnable seed!"
"Trance ante 2 spectral skip"

[cosmic sun]

Just remember that every hand except the main hand is useable once you get Obelisk going.

[tranquil steppe]

Good thing the game tells you what the main hand is

[cosmic sun]

So if you have a good scoring setup but can still take multiple hands, you can just spam all of your hands for a fat obelisk

[heavy silo]

what do when it eventually balances out

[boreal haven]

Clubs are pretty underrated ngl

[heavy silo]

like i spam pair

[cosmic sun]

well on ante 8 you just win

before it runs out

[hard silo]

That will never happen when your ceiling is around 12ish hands

[heavy silo]

i love clubs my favorite suit with my favorite color on high contrast

[heavy silo]

i see

[cosmic sun]

Yeah 12 is good, if you're not confident with it yet try 15

Sometimes you get it when your pairs are in the 20s or higher so

[boreal haven]

15 Minute City challenge completed!
......
this took me just 1 try unlike the Omelette challenge

[hard silo]

As for scoring security you’ll usually go for scoring that comes from jokers like square or green joker

[tranquil steppe]

Noice

[boreal haven]

aight, let's see what challenge is next...

[tranquil steppe]

Black gold

[hard silo]

Golden needle

[modest spade]

I clubs

[hard silo]

I like spades

[boreal haven]

WAIT WHAT

[unreal island]

I suppose your choices never mattered

[boreal haven]

I must make money... AND FAST

[royal bobcat]

Hi hor-
Wait

[modest spade]

This one is easier than white stake, you'll be fine

[hard silo]

You start with a hundred bucks you have a lot of leeway

[lunar zealot]

literally easier than

[uncut slate]

yeah some of the challenges aren't really a challenge they just give you random jokers

[lunar zealot]

something really easy

Checkers

[boreal haven]

aight... Imma try it now but for now I'm gonna mess around in endless mode until shit happens

[hard silo]

None of these challenges are worth thinking for apart from like golden needle and maybe jokerless for the newer people

[cosmic sun]

her name is john shaw

[uncut slate]

i haven't given golden needle a try because i hadn't thought of a strategy that sounded reliable

[hard silo]

The strategy is to get lucky

[uncut slate]

real?

[cosmic sun]

I found a yorick once but ended up in immense debt

[unreal island]

Lowk this half joker saving my run

I have a high card build!

Synergy!

[uncut slate]

do you just tank the discard cost and look for straight or 4oak jokerless?

[modest spade]

Yes

[hard silo]

For golden needle you just find discard synergy and skillfully face the water

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[unreal island]

invis hit mime am sad :(

[tranquil steppe]

Bunch of trolls

[unreal island]

[boreal haven]

Oh, I start off with 100$!?

[cosmic sun]

no

[terse vale]

uuuhh

hm

[hard silo]

Jesus Christ man

[cosmic sun]

maybe square could die if flush is high enough

[terse vale]

I wonder how it got to this point

[cursive lion]

🙏

[cosmic sun]

francis l4d

[cursive lion]

TRUE

[hard silo]

Had three shops to figure it out too

[cursive lion]

I think this guy hates bloodstone

[buoyant ridge]

always dying on ante 2 because i dont get anything good

[terse vale]

speculative hack on black deck

I think you just need to not waste your money

[tawny ridge]

having my best run so far :D

[modest spade]

Why did you pick up eternal Hack

[cosmic sun]

fib ❤️

[tawny ridge]

i got 15 aces so it's awesome

[sharp seal]

I just lost mine </3

my best run of 120 hours, I think. and I just lost it

[tawny ridge]

aw :( ive been playing for a few days

[cinder jetty]

He MIGHT hate Bloodstone

Is that not spamming?

[sharp seal]

problem with this run is I couldn't find any retrigger cards, the red tag

[cinder jetty]

784 times

[modest spade]

Spamming would be posting it constantly

In a short period of time

[cosmic sun]

theyre right

[modest spade]

I hate Bloodstone

[cosmic sun]

[hard silo]

They’ve been saying it every day

[cosmic sun]

I hate Bloodstone

[night turret]

Should I buy one of these vouchers? Genuinely asking here

[buoyant ridge]

is this skill issue if im diyn gon black deck gold stake ante 3 ?

[hard silo]

Whatever the frequency you find tolerable depends on who you ask

[tranquil steppe]

We gon make it fam?

[night turret]

You got two hands, as long as both of them beat 35k each your good

[cinder jetty]

Seems pretty contant to me

[buoyant ridge]

im so dumb what sould i pick here

400 hours in this game and still no c++

[modest spade]

It's not spam because they speak the truth

[night turret]

Can you check how many hours you have on mobile

[unreal island]

Tried rolling down for burglar but he was a no show

[night turret]

I’m confident I have at least 200 on this game

[unreal island]

This is my best hand

[tawny ridge]

i still can't get to more than 11 ante

[unreal island]

(i copied DNA last two hands)

[night turret]

“Man I wish I had a king rn”
The ever so humble royal deck:

[tranquil steppe]

Victory favors the bold

[unreal island]

econ is so fucked rn LMAO

[unreal island]

aj the goat

[boreal haven]

With all those diamonds I'm surely gonna be very rich
A big shot even

[tranquil steppe]

Official victory and 4 more gold jokers added to the collection

[night turret]

Nice job

[boreal haven]

Spamton G. Spamton my spirit animal

[night turret]

Ah fuck it, i might reset the run

I have no mult

Only times mult

[hard silo]

I don’t want the truth to be annoying as hell when I wanna talk here yk

[cosmic sun]

I ha

[hard silo]

te

[modest spade]

I hate Bloodstone

[sly coral]

WE*

hate bloodstone

[serene forge]

I hate Showman

[lunar zealot]

I love Baseball Card

[hard silo]

mods I hate bloodrock

[sly coral]

Why would u hate showman

[serene forge]

its bad

[worldly sphinx]

HOLY SHIT. Game Changer. I can’t believe I’ve been playing for like 2 weeks and didn’t know this.

[hard silo]

You know why

[modest spade]

Based

[lunar zealot]

i fuckin LOVE bbc

[buoyant ridge]

is this skill issue if i cant beat black deck on gold stake after 50 attempts ?

[hard silo]

At some point yes

[sly coral]

just dont buy it if u dont like it no reason to hate unlike bloodstone, atleast it doesnt give u false hope

[boreal haven]

OH CRAP

which one should I get rid of

(maybe faceless)

[serene forge]

pareidolia

[buoyant ridge]

im so bad at this game, what should i do ?

[boreal haven]

😔

oh well, gg pareidolia, you carried so hard with the money

(with faceless I mean)

AND IT'S TRIBOULET

[hard silo]

buffoon

Or hold for grabber

[buoyant ridge]

im so unconfident playing this game, what should i do here

[viral raft]

I hate erratic deck

[night turret]

Uninstall and touch grass, at some point

[unreal island]

odd todd died btw

[boreal haven]

ok, question: does pareidolia synergize with triboulet?

[unreal island]

well they all did

[hard silo]

No

[unreal island]

rest in pieces

[night turret]

But Fr get the re roll

[boreal haven]

ah, ok thank you

[viral raft]

No. Just queens and Kings

[night turret]

It’s a good mult that can stack

[sly coral]

i wouldnt take the flash here its too expensive

[unreal island]

lowkey i think i just threw my run

yeah i threw

i shouldn't have sold my dna

acc dumbest play i've ever made

[sly coral]

voucher is worth buying

[hard silo]

Trib specifies certain ranks. Pari just changes what your cards are

[hard silo]

That’s what I said yeah

[night turret]

Dawg I can’t beat any more challenges rn

How am I stuck with only completing these ones

[unreal island]

acc playing the slowest round of balatro oat

17 hands in a blind im gonna lose

off by e8

greatest blunder of all time

[tranquil steppe]

You guys are trolls. Bloodstone is GOAT tier

[night turret]

Only if you have oops all 6’s

[tranquil steppe]

Or photograph, hanging Chad combos

[hard silo]

And it still has weaknesses then

[tranquil steppe]

But it’s not trash

[hard silo]

It is

[tranquil steppe]

There are many jokers that are worse

[hard silo]

When you need a second piece in a roguelike

Not that many in gold stake

[night turret]

Lmao the odds of getting two re rolls is funny

[cursive lion]

https://youtu.be/zhF8AgBR8hM?si=55jy-CcpwcKopNHQ

[tranquil steppe]

Never sell your dna

[boreal haven]

ok so, small update: I had to restart the run cuz I lost miserabily due to the still lacking amount of money

[night turret]

Me when I’m on the black market

[boreal haven]

I must make a lot of money

[tawny ridge]

could someone explain what the splash joker does?

[unreal island]

saw a burglar and my monkey brain picked it up 🤦‍♂️ i already beat serpent atp and didnt have any reroll vouchers

[night turret]

Me when on the black market

[unreal island]

genuinely the stupidest play i've done

[tranquil steppe]

It scores all cards, even ones that normally wouldn’t score

[floral mural]

if a card wouldn't score in your played hand it scores anyways

[hard silo]

Did you read the joker description

[tawny ridge]

oh that's cool

[tawny ridge]

yeah but i didn't get it

[unreal island]

extra chips 😍

[night turret]

Probably was confused on how it worked

[floral mural]

splash unfortunately is usually quite weak

[boreal haven]

so for now... I am like this...
I'm still gonna aim for diamonds

[tranquil steppe]

It’s decent early on when you’re having trouble and just trying to get farther but it’s pretty weak overall

[night turret]

The neg tarot is gas

[hard silo]

Splash is one of those underrated trash jokers

[unreal island]

this is truly me when i retrigger 7s twice

[floral mural]

by usually i mean like 95% tbh

[night turret]

Unless you don’t get them

[tranquil steppe]

It’s still trash lol

[sly coral]

i dont read jokers i just take the jokers w cool arts

[tawny ridge]

wait nvm i just got the spare trousers joker and already have the joker stencil. that combo made me win last time i had it

[floral mural]

now that i think about it i never used splash effectively

[hard silo]

It has its use cases like pot, vamp, high card, etc

Retriggers

Enhancements

That’s all I can think of

[tranquil steppe]

Sure. Still much weaker than a lot of stuff

[floral mural]

im sure it has some use i just never found it

[night turret]

Soooo I mIGHT be mega fucked

[hard silo]

Enabling x mults is something

[sly coral]

its a common that does its job

[unreal island]

well duh you have nothing in the shop

[hard silo]

It’s not bottom of the barrel

[tranquil steppe]

Howww? You have hanging chad

[night turret]

Yeah they disappeared for some reason

Not like I bought them

[floral mural]

splash is 3 dollars and rarely does something negative i cant hate it tbh

baron on the other hand

[hard silo]

Yucky

[night turret]

It’s the face card, I gotta make sure I don’t play many

[unreal island]

rarely does something WHAT

[night turret]

The more money I have, the less hand size

[tranquil steppe]

Wut

[hard silo]

Splash can reset your bus 😄

[unreal island]

o7 could've beaten ante 24 if i didnt throw

[sly coral]

best way to use it

[unreal island]

73 rounds of fucking torment

[floral mural]

paying attention is a requirement for playing bus so doesnt count

[sly coral]

splash helps w any type of suit joker too

[hard silo]

Yeah I was saying something silly

[drowsy hinge]

Brooo

[drowsy hinge]

Ur joker placement is off

[gaunt nacelle]

luck of a lifetime

[unreal island]

5 scores 4 triggers???

[gaunt nacelle]

also life is sad rn

[sly coral]

no?

[unreal island]

Anyway wtf do u want me to do with 3 fucking brainstorms

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong here ? first ante skip for baron and then i have no chance

[drowsy hinge]

Wait I’m tripping mb

[tranquil steppe]

2 legendaries by ante 6? Da fuq?

[unreal island]

invis joker was trolling me

[drowsy hinge]

But u should skip those stakes

[unreal island]

kept duping brainstorm

[drowsy hinge]

Bro brainstorm is peak

But I guess it’s annoying yeh

[unreal island]

also how am i getting new discoveries i have c++ :B

[drowsy hinge]

U need 2 BP 2 brainstorm

[sly coral]

worlds baitest bait

[drowsy hinge]

Also u have to skip binds at that stage

[buoyant ridge]

well. i made the game easier for me

[drowsy hinge]

Why was ur eco so bad?

[unreal island]

you skipped for baron?

[buoyant ridge]

jep

[terse vale]

why

[hard silo]

Editions and joker tags probably

[tranquil steppe]

You should sell baron

[unreal island]

i have all tags and editions tho?

unless joker and edition combos count

[serene forge]

I hate Pareidolia

[quiet plinth]

its not a uncommon should I get ?

[unreal island]

which is like why??

[hard silo]

Jokers with editions and tags you haven’t discovered after winning counts as a new discovery

[hard silo]

They do

Silly innit

[unreal island]

oh wow

didnt know balatro counted that

massive fucking array of 600 values

[tranquil steppe]

Kill your Fibonacci

Get that legendary

[uncut slate]

abstract goes right

[unreal island]

sell half joker

[uncut slate]

like even if it's not a useful legendary it's $10 to spend on a random unc

[quiet plinth]

lmao

[uncut slate]

which is probably about as useful as abstract

[tranquil steppe]

But it’s free

[cosmic sun]

holy fucking based you sold chad

[uncut slate]

selling chad is insanity

[tranquil steppe]

And it worked

[unreal island]

even tho a joker eternal it can still be selled or destrold

[boreal haven]

ah fuck

I didn't get richer

[cosmic sun]

what was it doing

lol

[unreal island]

man plasma is only fun when going for naneinf

i hate plasma

[serene forge]

weakest campfire

[unreal island]

you struggle for the first 3 antes when you're still reliant on chips and then you get your xmults and then you're obliterating blinds

[tranquil steppe]

Lmao. Told you to sell Fibonacci

[unreal island]

WE yes WE are ghost deck streaking

(2 win streak)

[buoyant ridge]

should i take juggler here ?

[tranquil steppe]

No

[unreal island]

synergy

[quiet plinth]

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[thorn glade]

damn, the homophobia (jk)

[quiet plinth]

the couple is here

[night turret]

It’s a challenge I’m trying to beat

[gaunt nacelle]

perkeo, you've served me well

[gaunt nacelle]

and the third wheel

this is my first perfect deck

[verbal wren]

Big wee

[verbal wren]

No red seal

[hard silo]

No glass

[boreal haven]

OH MY GOD AGAIN?!

Ok so, which one should be sold?

(I need to get richer goddamit)

(any help?)

((anyone??))

aight then, dead so is this chat
I'm gonna sell trading card since I already deckfixed my deck

AND IT'S TRIBOULET AGAIN

[quiet plinth]

gotta love madness my first gold stake joker, ever so reliable

lmao

eternal joly joker my belovedf

negetive vampire looks good, not as good as castle but

[boreal haven]

it took me 7 ANTES to find this mf

finally

[quiet plinth]

pair maxxing can only get you so far huh

[pale wolf]

today's balatrodle in 2 🤙 🤙

[floral mural]

diamonds that do practually nothing after the very first card unless your mult is that low

[boreal haven]

holy fucking shit

[pale wolf]

what if the but the

[boreal haven]

Rich get Richer challenge completed!
What's next?

[pale wolf]

the next one is next

[spiral cairn]

WALL ON ANTE 2

WHY IS MY LUCK SO GOOD BUT SO BAD

BLUEPRINT AND POLY DNA

FK

[abstract rivet]

Tbf

[spiral cairn]

BROO I GOT ABSOLUTELY TRASH CARDS

[abstract rivet]

Dna is a trap

[spiral cairn]

its only good if i get standard packs in shop

but always when i get dna

its like

-1% chance

[abstract rivet]

You use a hand, and still need to win with the other 3 hands

[spiral cairn]

yeah but it works if you get good cards in deck

[abstract rivet]

Dna best shines whe you have hologram/steel joker/glass joker

Because the issue is

You flood your deck

[spiral cairn]

yeah

[abstract rivet]

But you still may have a chance of not drawing everything you need

[spiral cairn]

i get hologram a lot but not in good runs

also why is black deck so hard

i can barely beat jt normally

how do people go gold stake black deck jokerless

[abstract rivet]

Because 1 less hand

Exactly, dna is essentially playing as if you are black deck

[spiral cairn]

oh yeah

i didnt think fo it that way

[abstract rivet]

That 1 hand matters way more than you think

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[mighty garden]

since when was basebal card rare i thought it was uncommon for 200 hours 😭

[cosmic sun]

eat shit needle lol

this is why you justice

[spiral cairn]

needle and wall are so gay

[abstract rivet]

If basedball card was uncommon it would count itself lmao

[cosmic sun]

Now I can sticker showmid

[spiral cairn]

i got needle on ante 10 bro

[mighty garden]

thats such a good point lol

[buoyant ridge]

i gave myself a little advantage to finish c++

[cosmic sun]

unfortunate crimson

[tardy spade]

anyone wanna listen to stupid joker ideas that make no sense created by a markov chain from existing jokers?

[gaunt nacelle]

do I need the invis joker?

[tardy spade]

Example: ```
Yalkienser:
-4 Mult.

[tranquil steppe]

Not enough mimes

[gaunt nacelle]

Handsaw:
-8 hand size

[tardy spade]

show your deck

[tardy spade]

can you score long enough to activate the invis if you sell the idol?

or the duck

[tardy spade]

Fack:
Reroll Probability

Encer:
-1 Hand In Hand For Each Played Has A Starot Card That The For Every Joker Have X1 Mult.

[gaunt nacelle]

I think so but I also think that you want same amount of retriggers and activation right? so I think it doesn't help actually

[buoyant ridge]

ez C++ finish with haX because black deck is too hard for me

[tardy spade]

the only thing that would really help is a blueprint

a 25% chance

[gaunt nacelle]

I'm not risking it

it's my best ever run

[tardy spade]

but you also have a 25% chance to copy the eternal sock

which wouldn't be good

[tardy spade]

probably best tbh

[tribal peak]

[gaunt nacelle]

what do I copy with blueprint? or is trib good?

I think I copy sock or dusk with the all glass

[stark karma]

I would drop dusk but it doesn’t rly matter

[tardy spade]

trib is good if you're getting dusk value and you're playing luckies.
If you're playing glass without using dusk (why would you) then copying the sock is better

if you're playing glass on dusk then it doesn't matter

[gaunt nacelle]

ok

[uncut slate]

i need this

[tardy spade]

Ess Card:
Uit Give $2 When Rount At X1 Mult If Played Are Destraights Of Round Of X Chips. -1 Hand.

how did it get x chips from the base jokers?

they deliberately do not have tha

[uncut slate]

Ess Card

[sly prairie]

Goddamit. Next boss I guess

[uncut slate]

also destraights is crazy

[tardy spade]

it likes making those a lot. New hand type?

I do think there should be a hand type for the base chip values of all cards summing to 21

[random apex]

Question. What benefits do flush houses have over other hands? Because I’m wondering if I’m at a point where I can reliably play flush houses why not just deck fix all the way to a flush five?

[tardy spade]

1 more +mult scaling from ceres than from planet x

and eris

[random apex]

Ah ok that’s what I was thinking I just didn’t know

[tardy spade]

but eris gives more +chips

[gaunt nacelle]

third soul this run

I'm not taking it tho

[late helm]

big wee wee

[uncut slate]

what could possibly be leading it to create these

destraight

is there anything in the game that has de

[tardy spade]

probably a combination of Destroy and Straight

[uncut slate]

oh that makes sense

[tardy spade]

because it sees the str from destroy and realises it shows up a lot in the word straight

and so creates that one instead

[uncut slate]

my brain might be too llmwarped to remember how it's doing that

I'm like automatically discarding the idea of a model acting on partial tokens like that

[tardy spade]

that's how I've programmed mine

it's called temperature in the AI world

[verbal wren]

Is hack or idol better im done with this run and want to get big number

[tardy spade]

idol

[gaunt nacelle]

NOT THE PLANT

[uncut slate]

temperature still won't make an llm care about letters in that way right? it operates on semantic tokens? that's why you need the markov chain to get results like this

[gaunt nacelle]

ofc there was never a directors cut

[vestal fern]

when you think your huzz is cheating on you with some guy so you gotta lowk kill them both ||(X3 Mult)||

[tardy spade]

idk how actual AIs work tbh

[frank crypt]

I want a mod that replaces Wee Joker with a picture of a Nintendo Wii

[uncut slate]

i know enough about llms to be the pessimist about them in any discussion at my work lol

just enough to do that and no more

[tardy spade]

make it then

[frank crypt]

I dunno how

[uncut slate]

image.

[night elk]

chat what should i do

[uncut slate]

what's the throwback doing

[gaunt nacelle]

sell certificate

[tardy spade]

what's throwback on?
How's your scoring?
Your deck? Planet levels?

I'd say probably certificate over anything else, but it depends on context

[uncut slate]

and do you have good +mult

[gaunt nacelle]

ot throwback

[night elk]

Basically the full does all the work

[tardy spade]

bootstraps

[night elk]

its like level 15

[midnight vigil]

5 rightmost jokers dont have gold stickers, do i sell a common for flower pot or no

[gaunt nacelle]

the plant ruins yet another great run

[uncut slate]

i mean besides boostraps

[steel hedge]

pov no luchador

[gaunt nacelle]

haven't seen one or a directors cut throughout 18 antes

and yet I've seen 3 souls

[narrow scroll]

business card or stick with parking?

[gaunt nacelle]

19 technically because I took a -1 ante -1 hand

[gaunt nacelle]

parking

it can do more per round

[narrow scroll]

alrighty

[midnight vigil]

parking

[uncut slate]

is taking voucher skips to hunt directors cut Enlightened or Foolish

[gaunt nacelle]

both

[shell rock]

look at that 2nd gold stake win! all it took was 2 legendaries and brainstorm and the trio

[sly prairie]

Will it NANEINF?

[mental ruin]

Im playing blue stake with them mindset of every arcana can have soul. Look at what second skip tag gave me

[uncut slate]

ultimate gambling mindset

[sly prairie]

Yes it will

[final badger]

my best ante 1 score

[left sorrel]

Ngl, I need the balatro update

The game feels a bit repetitive to me

[floral mural]

then take a break

[left sorrel]

And its going to be renamed?

[sly prairie]

5th time NANEINF in a week. Getting good at this 🙃

[left sorrel]

Because it was called 2025 update

[floral mural]

changing the name of an update is very small of a worry

[midnight vigil]

seeded?

[left sorrel]

Yeah I know, but I was just curious

[vestal fern]

in 2026 localthunk makes a new game called Jesters

which is just Balatro but with a green tint

so it's technically different

🔥

[final badger]

ye its FA5MUN12

[left sorrel]

It would be cool if it recieved a name based on the update, and not just a kinda boring name

[final badger]

pretty sure u could optimize it more

[left sorrel]

Is this true, or you are just joking¿

?

[sly prairie]

Whats the point with seeded runs?

[vestal fern]

wdym, "f" is peak

[vestal fern]

it's true trust me

[left sorrel]

Oh ok hahahah

[cursive lion]

well the thing was when thunk was developing he made the runs seeds to make it easier to save and load

[narrow scroll]

what do i replace for brainstorm?
i'm thinking dice or parking but idk

[cursive lion]

and on a whim decided to make it copy-able after your run and people went with it

[floral mural]

seeds let you repeat a runs generation exactly

[narrow scroll]

actually removing parking makes no sense

[floral mural]

its a somewhat common thing to let you share fun seeds for roguelikes with others

[cursive lion]

yeah pretty much

obviously it isnt the intention design wise and thats why without modding you cant unlock or get achivements with seeded runs

[narrow scroll]

do i remove dice or the rebate
