[terse dock]

Drop the clever

[north schooner]

Grimbo won't tank your run if you draw only face cards

[dire crater]

Who

Yorick

[urban sun]

bro how are you progressing through c++ so quickly 😭

[white zodiac]

you just aren't playing with the best of your abilities

[simple bronze]

aw man

i wish i had the eternal egg now

[urban sun]

howwww

[white zodiac]

no you don't 👅

[steady raven]

Should I sell the Smeared Joker and take the Oops! all 6s?

[simple bronze]

what do i dooo

[modest spade]

Yes

[ebon torrent]

its just much easier to get c++ with photochad and +3 junk jokers

[simple bronze]

i take swash and try to find egg right

[white zodiac]

if you were smart you'd do nothing

[white zodiac]

it's much easier when you're not tunneling into one specific build

saves time

[urban sun]

ive just been playing yellow like its black deck and carrying an unnecessary joker at the end

[terse dock]

It's much easier when you have actual fun

[ebon torrent]

its 2 common jokers you dont even need to desperately search for it

[white zodiac]

the fun:

[white zodiac]

needing two specific jokers is a red flag

[urban sun]

chicot

[terse dock]

Yeah

[white zodiac]

:P

yeah

[ebon torrent]

except i dont need those two jokers to win

[white zodiac]

you said it not me

[ebon torrent]

i said its easier to get gold stickers for c++ if you run photochad

not its easier to win

[urban sun]

....

[terse dock]

You wanna know what's easier

[white zodiac]

😐

[urban sun]

grimbo

[terse dock]

Gambling on anaglyph

[urban sun]

getting mr. bones and killing all your jokers on ante 8

[white zodiac]

getting one joker that works with a lot of other jokers is easier

[terse dock]

98% baby

[white zodiac]

2% milk

[terse dock]

+2

[white zodiac]

100% dababy

[ebon torrent]

i think its a good strat in the beginning of c++ but becomes too rng after 90%~

[simple bronze]

mannn

[white zodiac]

that's where ghost/yellow/blue/not caring comes in

[simple bronze]

stupid rng

[white zodiac]

😹🫵

[terse dock]

Then start streaking your comfort deck

[urban sun]

hideo are you not gonna explain how th you're doing c++ so quickly

i can barely get more than 5 jokers stickered in a day

[simple bronze]

spam negative tags

ezzz

[terse dock]

He's Hideo Kojima

[urban sun]

a

[terse dock]

King of video games

[tropic umbra]

i hate when i go onto a deck that isn't checkered and i see clbs and damonds

[urban sun]

rough gem is actually not terrible trust i had a run with it

[ebon torrent]

i got c++ just through yellow deck, didnt think about analglyph until it was too late

[simple bronze]

analglyph is not a good deck tho too rng heavy

i like green deck

[white zodiac]

green is discussed as a bottom 5

[simple bronze]

econ not needed sir

[ebon torrent]

i mentioned that it was good at the start but too rng after awhile

[white zodiac]

from the lilomancer

[white zodiac]

then stop dying

[simple bronze]

i am on ghost deck

and ghost deck also too rng

green deck i can win consistently

[white zodiac]

then play green

[simple bronze]

but i need sticker on bad joka

[white zodiac]

also krill issue

it's just too shrimple

[simple bronze]

i think imma just go play call of duty

[white zodiac]

😢

dna procs before vamp right

[warped tangle]

What should do

[simple bronze]

sell barron for credit card

[warped tangle]

you right

[terse dock]

Depends on placement maybe I don't use bad jokers like dna

[boreal estuary]

Anybody else just restart a run if you cant buy a blueprint in th first couple of shops when it shows up

[white zodiac]

no I would off myself

if I was forced to play like that

[boreal estuary]

hahaha

[hearty warren]

i crash out if i use 2 hands on the first round in black deck and can't afford pants

does that count

[white zodiac]

but can afford rental riff raff 🫶

[boreal estuary]

@hearty warren that 100% counts I feel like the run is cursed at that point

[hearty warren]

you'd be $1 short btw

for blueprint it's lowkey not even close

it's tilting when you discard optimally but the game tells you that if you did the worst possible discard you'd have gotten a oneshot

[boreal estuary]

it came up in a postion where i had and eternal and could even sellit to buy the BP

[white zodiac]

rental riff raff is 1 dollar mfw

[hearty warren]

any riffraff is a free win

not really but

[final garden]

time to kill myself

[boreal estuary]

ouch

[white zodiac]

how would I be a dollar short for a rental r1

[simple bronze]

aw man

i don't enough enough money

[white zodiac]

womp womp

[hearty warren]

oh i was talking about pants

owning $5 as opposed to $6

[white zodiac]

o

[hearty warren]

i didn't mention rentals

[white zodiac]

i did 😀

[hearty warren]

i know

[white zodiac]

rental riff raff on black is a new fav shop scare

[hearty warren]

i wasn't talking about it because it felt like a detraction from "can't afford → inconvenience"

[white zodiac]

yeah im just thinking of the long term

[boreal estuary]

if i use a skip tag does coupon only work on one shop or does it carry to the shop after?

[final garden]

nope first shop

if you skip a blind and dont use the coupon tag it will go away

[simple bronze]

is this ggs?

[night turret]

Last ante boys, should I risk it?

[night turret]

If you save the money I think you might be good

[simple bronze]

i take the tag right?

[final garden]

uh depends what is your main hand

[simple bronze]

i don't have one

[boreal estuary]

@final garden thanks i thought so just wanted to check

[simple bronze]

i need a boot straps

[final garden]

considering your most played hand is high hard why do you care about full house levels

[simple bronze]

i been just spamming high hand until i get a full house of faces

so i can max reserve parking

is this actualy enough to win lol

[twin lantern]

what

[twin lantern]

with burglar TO DO LIST

I would just keep investing into cloud 9 and finding xmult or chips

[simple bronze]

so much money

i need a bull

[civic sierra]

oh my

[next garden]

Don’t tell me my potato phone causing the game to reset prevent me from getting c++

[mortal nimbus]

just win another run on any deck, any stake

[mild hazel]

I've thinked about and to me the thing Balatro really need is some joker synergies, actuallly there is absolutely no one, but how much cool that cool be I only can imagine 🙏

[mortal nimbus]

achievement check is in the wrong spot

[next garden]

Alright let me try

[simple bronze]

is this ggs?

[hard silo]

You can’t be serious

[night turret]

Dawg you have 166 dollars

You are fine for mult

[simple bronze]

not enough

[urban sun]

riff raff just gave me photochad

oh no

[night turret]

I have EVERYTHING

Holy shit this is the first time I can’t use the wheel

Yipee!!

[simple bronze]

is duo enough to beat ante 8?

[boreal estuary]

What boss?

[simple bronze]

idk im on ante 6

[buoyant fog]

probably not but you could fs go for it

[boreal estuary]

What type of hands

[buoyant fog]

maybe even upgrade pair a few times

[simple bronze]

i play any hands

[ebon torrent]

there are joker synergies

[buoyant fog]

I love me some synergies

[boreal estuary]

I would say its better than the cloud nine

[mild hazel]

Which one ?

[serene forge]

yuri deck
start with eternal blueprint and brainstorm
-1 hand
-1 discard
-1 consumable slot

[boreal estuary]

but still may need more

[buoyant fog]

I wish I had my pc man I wanna try to beat gold stake

after I beat gold stake I'm playing seeded runs because fucking hell dude

[lavish gazelle]

That's a toxic yuri deck if it has so many restrictions

[buoyant fog]

these later stakes are just so arduous

[boreal estuary]

There are soo many

[mild hazel]

So told me any one, because imo you messed up between synergies and combo's, that's not the same thing

[boreal estuary]

agree its pretty hard for me to get past purple

[simple bronze]

oh boy

[serene forge]

wdym

[buoyant fog]

I barely beat purple just recently and it required an insane collection of jokers

[boreal estuary]

synergies are combos imo

[buoyant fog]

I cant remember what combo I had, I wish I had the screenies from my pc

[urban sun]

just got 2 wheel hits in a row

insane

[buoyant fog]

I did have this recently tho on the mobile version LOLOL

[mild hazel]

Synergy has to be a new feature only unlocked with 2 cards, idk but like if you have bulls and matador, give you + 50chips on played hands when you triggeered the boss effect.

That's an exemple, but that's something completely new and who would happens only with this 2 jokers.

A combo is "just" some joker working together but just by their base logics, not wih any new features

Sorry i'm not english, i'm not sure to be understandable :/

[hard silo]

this is so unnecessary

[buoyant fog]

LOL

[lavish gazelle]

I believe localthunk didn't want that design philosophy since you would be relying on finding EXACTLY those two jokers

[mild hazel]

It was tooo for TBOI, since it got added, the game is much more interesting to replay.

[river kindle]

should i take chocot

[buoyant fog]

True, there are lots of unlikely synergies fs

[urban sun]

a

grimbo is out of his mind rn

[buoyant fog]

Yeah why not

[mild hazel]

I mean I litteraly never play infinite because it's actually useless in balatro, but for seen such a fun things i would prolly try it

[hard silo]

sir this is a Wendy’s

[mild hazel]

What ?

[simple bronze]

ooo weee

[unkempt creek]

2 sock 2 trib 1 chad 1 blueprint what do i copy?

[buoyant fog]

i had a pretty good run with polychrome runner then a pivot to playing 2 pair

[buoyant fog]

I think I had blueprint on runner, a polychrome smiley face and lvl 16 2 pair

[unkempt creek]

also do i sell chad for showman to get another blueprint or nah

[simple bronze]

i win

[buoyant fog]

Noooiiice

[mild hazel]

i hope my message was enough to explain the difference :/

[twin lantern]

hologram winning on its own like always (6.75)

[simple bronze]

who was here shitting on bootstrap

[twin lantern]

most sensable and reasonable people

why?

[buoyant fog]

Hologram plus certificate 🧑‍🍳 🤌

[hard silo]

Good players

[simple bronze]

i just won with rental bootsrap and rental bull

[twin lantern]

Cert > holo fr

[simple bronze]

so i guess i am better

[hard silo]

Me when I lie

[boreal estuary]

The one gold stake I beat on mobile I had Blue Joker, Pants, Cano and Duo

[simple bronze]

^

[buoyant fog]

sheeeeeeeshhh

[twin lantern]

"wow, i did this thing one time, there for it is good in every possible scenario"

[unkempt creek]

?

[simple bronze]

yes

[buoyant fog]

Bootstrap is pretty good idk what ur on about

[hard silo]

Good at being the worst mult scaler

[simple bronze]

its over 100+ mult

[buoyant fog]

its not the best, but its really good if you can aquire lots of cash and get another joker with xmult to supplement it

[simple bronze]

and i didn't have to do anything

[buoyant fog]

like Bootstrap and Cavendish are a fire combo

[boreal estuary]

What did you end up taking?

[hard silo]

Me when I’m tunnelvisioned to the left bell curve

[buoyant fog]

You must be fun at parties

[simple bronze]

steel didn't do shit at 1.1x lol

[hard silo]

I’m just the messenger 😛

[mild hazel]

Actually my problem isn't win on gold stake, that's not that hard, but to find fucking negative tag ;-;

[buoyant fog]

bait used to be believable

[mild hazel]

Ho and legendary joker, but they have to be some dlc feature imo :)

[hard silo]

I didn’t make bootstraps the worst mult scaler overall that was the games fault for mult to money ratio being awful and limiting shop searching

[simple bronze]

emi in the middle

[hard silo]

Left

[buoyant fog]

I am left forever and ever

[mild hazel]

I mean i'm not fan of the deck, but it's still the better to complete the collection actually.

[simple bronze]

tbh i don't understand this meme negative skip is very good

[twin lantern]

When a joker is considered low teir it is because they have less scenarios where you'd like to pick them up, the game is about winning with what it gives you, everyone here has won with it,

You wouldn't want to pick up boots ante 1 most of the time because of it's steep price, and 0 additional income, well most other +mult jokers are great ante 1, No one is making the claim that bootstraps in unusable,

[mild hazel]

But now i'm at 40+ joker left so, maybe I should stop play with

[simple bronze]

i picked it up ante 2

[velvet patrol]

Is it too late to pivot to baron

[buoyant fog]

Thats what I'm saying bro I always go for negative skip

[mild hazel]

Not really because there is just a lil bit of chance for you to get the skip you want to.

[twin lantern]

its not about how bad a joker is, because none of them are actually bad, its about how versitile a joker is 🧠

[buoyant fog]

idk man some balatroheads aren't in it for the true gamble

[mild hazel]

Yeah but that's basically a ultra bait

[buoyant fog]

they just want to min max

[hard silo]

He’s engagement baiting don’t worry about it

[twin lantern]

balatro isnt a gambling game

?

[simple bronze]

yes it is

[mild hazel]

Idk bro, i'm too naiv tho ;-;

[hard silo]

It’s not :3

[simple bronze]

i used to play balatro all the time at the casino

[hard silo]

You’ll grow up one day

[mild hazel]

Not necessarily tbf

[twin lantern]

All seeds are winnable on gold stakes give me one and ill win it

[buoyant fog]

The skipping feature is quite literally a gamble

its a risk factor to skip a blind

[simple bronze]

its inspired by this game

[buoyant fog]

I'm a 2 pair Andy for life

[velvet patrol]

Idol is much higher but like

Baron

[twin lantern]

No it isnt, You LOSE the blind and the shop, You aren't putting that at risk you already lost that when you skipped

[mild hazel]

Why didn't get hanging chad instead of idol ?

[steep grove]

Joker poker

[hard silo]

And moneys

[velvet patrol]

So true

[simple bronze]

its not your odds are 50/50 you either win or you lose

[mild hazel]

Hum, no sorry instead of the poor guy

(i'm sleepy sorry XD )

[velvet patrol]

Oh

Uhhh actually that's a good question

I'm done deck fixing

[twin lantern]

"Less of a chance of winning" is Not a gamble, skips are used for emergencys or shinnegans not so much for the reward, as the shop will always have more value

[mild hazel]

Yeah that's why, your deck is almost perfect, nothing you really need with tarot annymore instead of a bit of money but... well

Hangig chad here let you still have some possibility to turn your game build if you found for exemple a photo chad

[buoyant fog]

Its a gamble because of the risk/reward factor.
By skipping for, let's say, a free rare joker, its a gamble on what rare joker it is, it could be something you dont need. It's a gamble

[white zodiac]

I had to win one for @simple bronze while playing on a harder difficulty first try #🕹・game-discussion message

[buoyant fog]

like its noy gambling with money

[spring dragon]

Oh my gosh! I'm scoring e50 with my baron! This can probably naneinf!

The nefarious plant:

[buoyant fog]

a gamble is not only money related

[steep grove]

I love saving a bunch dupe tags on anaglyph then cashing them in for negatives (its always garbage tho)

[mild hazel]

Well it's a common joker, you will find it back

[simple bronze]

well you had better rng then me

[white zodiac]

it's the same amount of rng

silly goose

[mild hazel]

Well i leave you there buddie's, have a nice night and have fun games ! ♥

[buoyant fog]

I love 2 pair 😍

me with lvl 26 two pair

[white zodiac]

gn streaks 🫰

[twin lantern]

No balatro isnt for fun its for arguing about!!!! 😠

[silver canopy]

shmeep well

[buoyant fog]

Min max andys when there's fun to be had:

[simple bronze]

wait...

[hard silo]

Good night bae

[velvet patrol]

Well we all know this isn't going anywhere near naneinf but like

[muted plinth]

Forgot to send this earlier.

16 hand size

[velvet patrol]

What am I even looking for

[simple bronze]

if i use hiregrph on ante 9 does it take me back to ante 8 and can i resticker new jokers?

[twin lantern]

Im a minmax mandy im just also vagabond

[velvet patrol]

At this point

[buoyant fog]

I dont mind minmaxxers in general, some are just insufferable

[hard silo]

Yes please nobody else tell him otherwise

[silver canopy]

yea no literally

[buoyant fog]

like bros from bumfuck Indiana will have 3k hours on Balatro and havent left the house since 2011

and he'll seethe if you do something "wrong"

[white zodiac]

ugh i wanna go back to osaka so badly

[twin lantern]

Me but I live behind walmart

sometimes

[white zodiac]

same

[silver canopy]

me personally i just wanna see number go big asap

so

[twin lantern]

and give free tarots

[white zodiac]

and a walgreens

[buoyant fog]

I just like risking it all personally

[twin lantern]

the Calculator app on your phone:

[next garden]

Yay, C++, onto C+ I guess

[buoyant fog]

If I'm having a perfectly good run and I see a tag to upgrade a hand by 3 levels I insta take it

[silver canopy]

fuuuuuuuuuuck youre right

[buoyant fog]

I loooove skipping blinds

[twin lantern]

You should risk it all gambling against me in black jack

IRL

[slow sky]

what's optimal joker placement for mime and baron, 1 bp 1 bs, with a deck of steel kings?

[buoyant fog]

YESSSSS

[twin lantern]

1:1 or as close as you can get it

[buoyant fog]

I love gambling 🎰 😍

[south jolt]

throwback the goat

[buoyant fog]

dude I've been saying

[silver canopy]

move your brainstorm and blueprint to the leftmost joker slots trust me bro

[twin lantern]

I got kicked out of the closest casino i live by for counting cards

[buoyant fog]

especially if you can get a copy of throwback with 3x mult 🤌

[velvet patrol]

Yall think this still wins

[twin lantern]

Its about skill and game knowledge luck is stupid

[south jolt]

just won a red stake run with blueprint en throwback and it was so fun

[twin lantern]

why tf would you not count cards in black jack

[buoyant fog]

if ur too stupid to count like myself

[south jolt]

ofc skipping blinds is bad on higher stakes but they're a fun mechanic on lower

[buoyant fog]

I'll hit on blackjack when I have 19 in my hand

[hard silo]

Math magic by vsauce

[ripe gull]

hi vagabondessessess

[twin lantern]

Hi wall :3

so

have a question

and your fate in my eyes depends on the answer

[simple bronze]

why did you lie

[hard silo]

I didn’t

[simple bronze]

i redid the ante 8 boss for nothing

[unkempt creek]

2 blueprints 2 tribs a sock and a dusk what should i be copying?

[hard silo]

I don’t know what you’re talking about

[buoyant fog]

I've never been to a real casino tho 😕 I've only turned 21 recently

I really wanna go tho

[next garden]

Also first time I see a blue to red bg instead of the usual red to blue

[buoyant fog]

who tf voted no

[silver canopy]

Hi

[simple bronze]

don't bother its not worht anymore

[twin lantern]

people im not inviting to a party anytime soon thats for sure

[simple bronze]

vegas is stingy on comps

[hard silo]

Happens once you got c++

[buoyant fog]

KILL YOURSE-

Jk

But like

[silver canopy]

thanks for the compliment twin

[buoyant fog]

thats not very cash money of you

[west copper]

💔

[next garden]

That’s cool

[twin lantern]

talking about cash money

[west copper]

The blue BG is NOT C++

This must be misinfo lol

[twin lantern]

@buoyant fog You should risk it all by giving me your morgage to start a real estate business with

[buoyant fog]

Sure why not

opens wallet only for a single moth to fly out

okay turns out I can't get a loan

[west copper]

Why would a moth be in your wallet

Wouldn’t it be a fly

[twin lantern]

moths eat fabric

[buoyant fog]

Moths are cooler

yeah and that too

[west copper]

They DO???

[silver canopy]

yea

[buoyant fog]

Yeah bro ever heard of mothballs

[west copper]

You learn something new everyday

[buoyant fog]

the ones you put in your closet

[west copper]

I don’t really deal with moths often

Since where I live

[ebon zephyr]

managed to get an anaglyph win with this lineup it was way too funny to have -3 hand size

[twin lantern]

People literally used to have problems with moths eating the inside of their wallet yes,

like

actual history

[west copper]

That sounds relatively annoying actually LMAO

I never knew this

I only knew moths as the funny light attracted creatures

[buoyant fog]

I luckily never had a huge moth problem

[twin lantern]

why do you think moth balls exist 🤷‍♀️

[buoyant fog]

I did see one the size of my fist in my gym class many years ago tho

[hard silo]

This was used in a few gags in late 1930s films, where I first knew about it

[west copper]

Yeah ngl id get the hell out the room

[buoyant fog]

It was so scary, luckily it was already dead tho LOL

[west copper]

I hate giant flying bugs with a passion

[twin lantern]

I Did you take pictures

what color was it

where do you live

general area*

[buoyant fog]

Lemme type bro hold on 😭

[west copper]

Giant flying bugs actually terrify me

And it’s not like a phobia I think cause I’m fine with roaches spiders centipedes and whatnot but when you make a fuckin huge ass fly we have a problem

[buoyant fog]

So, unfortunately, no, since I only had a flip phone at the time

but it was like, a beige color, and I live in Utah

[twin lantern]

the bugs that fly rarely hurt you though its always the crawly ones

[buoyant fog]

it kinda looked like the one in that MC RIDE picture

[west copper]

One time I was asleep in a downstairs basement at a friends house and a centipede deadass just fell on my face

I think I broke like 10 different things in a absolute panic lmao

So maybe I’ll exclude centipedes

[twin lantern]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Entomology/comments/chk9kd/these_are_the_biggest_moths_ive_ever_personally/

[west copper]

FUCK NO

[twin lantern]

these guys are chill asf

[west copper]

OH FUCK NO

[twin lantern]

id let him hang around

[silver canopy]

oh HELL no

[west copper]

dude he’s FUCKING HUGE

[twin lantern]

his name could be jimmy

[silver canopy]

ill hang him from my ceiling fan how about that

[hard silo]

Butterflies after dark

[twin lantern]

danm too bad climate change is causing bugs to move north

[silver canopy]

actually no thatd prob be worse lmao

[west copper]

I get it’s not dangerous but oh my god

That makes my skin crawl

Some huge bug flying like that near me

[twin lantern]

its just a fluffy butterfly

[random delta]

how do seeds work when it comes to seeds having jokers you don’t own?

[west copper]

Skips over them

Iirc

[hard silo]

Skips and subs for different jokers

[random delta]

oh okay bet

thank you

[twin lantern]

@silver canopy

[buoyant fog]

Yeah it looked almost jusy like that

[west copper]

Now this is simply just a little fella

[twin lantern]

those guys are pretty cool

[west copper]

Wouldn’t let him touch me

But he can chill

[twin lantern]

kinda cool to see em

[twin lantern]

hes the tenth of the size of a dime

hes insanely smoll

[west copper]

Yeppers he can chill around and do whatever

[twin lantern]

like ~1cm in eruo

[buoyant fog]

Yeah, its kinda sad it was dead but like I woulda freaked tf out if that thing flew in my face LMAO

[west copper]

The moth is NOT invited

Size matters a lot to me cause a small moth is whatever lmao but big moth? NOPE

[twin lantern]

they're also some of the best hunt and capture preditors in the world, similar to cats they caused just as many if not far more extictions

[silver canopy]

dont even

[west copper]

Is that a good or bad thing

If a species causes a lot of extinctions

[buoyant fog]

Dawg I still got 10 hours left on my shift

[twin lantern]

generally its really bad for ecosystems

[west copper]

But good for homekeeping when you don’t want lil nasties lurking

[buoyant fog]

its gonna be a boring rest of the year man

[west copper]

I’d guess

[twin lantern]

Me when i clocked on and my boss said hi

[buoyant fog]

LOL

[twin lantern]

dead ass

like as soon as im there i talk like that to annoy people

[west copper]

Yeah I heard it’s why cats are really not recommended outside and strays are devastating nature rn

They’re TOO good

At what they do

[buoyant fog]

I wish I had people to talk to at my job

I work in a factory with only 3 other employees

[twin lantern]

what u do

oh

[buoyant fog]

I'm a machine operator

[twin lantern]

take em out for drinks

ez

[buoyant fog]

Maybe, they scare me lowk 😭

[twin lantern]

you pay for the first 2 runs and they'll defend your life brother

[buoyant fog]

they're all twice my age and got kids and wives and studf

[twin lantern]

oh

[buoyant fog]

LOL

[twin lantern]

if they have kids

[west copper]

Honestly those end up being the funnest or most quiet people to work with from what I know

[buoyant fog]

I'm the youngest guy at the plant right now

They're all very quiet except when its about draft kings or something

[twin lantern]

probably invite them to like a home dinner or something. if you dont live with family something you can do is invite him to something along side a current friend

[buoyant fog]

but I dont do none of that stuff LMAO

[twin lantern]

I love doing social stuff im just stuck in the middle of fucking no where

[buoyant fog]

Ah, I get that

[west copper]

I’m more of a introverted type of person

I can’t do first contact for the life of me

[buoyant fog]

I'm luckily kinda in the city, but theres not a whole lot to do in SLC

we got lots of local bluegrass shows tho

[west copper]

Almost all my friends and whatnot are all people who approached me iirc lmao

[twin lantern]

Introverts more like closet train enthuisiast

you can qoute me on that

[west copper]

Or connected by someone I know

[west copper]

Sounds abt right

[buoyant fog]

I'm not good at making friends because I'm autistic and scare people LMAO

[twin lantern]

btw im @ ing the mods for off topic discussion in #🕹・game-discussion

[west copper]

💔

[buoyant fog]

[west copper]

It’s so over

[twin lantern]

Caught you

[buoyant fog]

I mean

baleelee balaalaa mult mult mult

Blueprint joker

[twin lantern]

what's your opinion on DJO

[buoyant fog]

Whats DJO

[velvet patrol]

I hate showman sometimes

[twin lantern]

Blocked.

nah

[unkempt creek]

best order for these? the trib is basically just 2 tribs but blueprint still only copies it once

[buoyant fog]

Showman lowkey useless

[twin lantern]

hes a dude who makes some pretty good music

[velvet patrol]

It feels like it sometimes

[buoyant fog]

Sometimes hes good

[buoyant fog]

What does the DJO mean is it an acronym

[twin lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpoeJSr386c Its no an a

not an acronym

[buoyant fog]

I think blueprint cannot copy blueprint

[unkempt creek]

it can

[twin lantern]

it can

[buoyant fog]

Fr????

[unkempt creek]

yes

same with brainstorm

[buoyant fog]

Ohhh see I knew brainstorm could

[twin lantern]

as long as theres a none blueprint at the end all blue prints copy

[unkempt creek]

it just copies whatever the blueprint is already copying

[twin lantern]

You see this in naneinf runs

[unkempt creek]

but i still need help with the order for these

[buoyant fog]

Ohhh I see

[twin lantern]

pretty much the only place its relevent out side of crazy nutty runs

[buoyant fog]

Honestly my music taste is all over the place but I mostly listen to old time music

like Doc Boggs, Ola Belle Reed, Roscoe Holcomb, etc

[twin lantern]

How do i fix

rq

Im assuming im going to have to change some files around and i hate doing that

[buoyant fog]

Oop

[unkempt creek]

any1?

[twin lantern]

i had to do that with fear and hunger and i was PISSED

[buoyant fog]

okay, gimme a minute

[buoyant fog]

do u have a lot of face cards in deck?

or just the reg amount

[unkempt creek]

yes

[twin lantern]

I hate face cards

[unkempt creek]

ive been building around trib this entire run

[west copper]

Face the face cards wrahhhh

[unkempt creek]

i have some red seals

[twin lantern]

purple seals <3

[unkempt creek]

a few

[twin lantern]

i love purple seals

[west copper]

Also holy shit my Jokerless challenge run attempts have been fucking abysmal due to horrible boss blinds

Why can water appear bro please game please spare me

[twin lantern]

tarots my favorite consumable, spectrals lame

[west copper]

It’s either scaling or a horrendous boss blind

[buoyant fog]

I think honestly having sock&busk in front would be my move

same with dusk

[west copper]

I’m actually the biggest fan of planets now

Honestly

Planets are my best friend

Tarots second

[buoyant fog]

other than that the rest really seems like a fine order

[stiff fjord]

first win with obelisk

[unkempt creek]

meaning being copied by blueprints and the trib is not being copied

[surreal spruce]

Red seal? Glass cards?

[unkempt creek]

ok imma show you my deck

i need to thin it more

[buoyant fog]

Yea

[unkempt creek]

but the purple ones are better glass cards same with bright blue ones

[west copper]

Why the FUCK do you have a negative playing card

LMAO

[velvet patrol]

Where is my omen globe

[unkempt creek]

actually like 6

[velvet patrol]

[buoyant fog]

I mean, especially with the glass cards and red seals, I'd think you wanna retriever those

retrigger*

[unkempt creek]

so just copy sock over trib?

[surreal spruce]

Uhhh

Glass is essentially a trib, red seal is essentially a sock. So you have 4 triggers (initial, red, sock, dusk), 2x mult assuming full hand of glass on trib. So double bp on trib is best

[buoyant fog]

Oop, someone disagrees with me LOL

[unkempt creek]

ok

[mortal basin]

Yes im playing the ALEEB seed, but damn bruh pareidolia with canio, what do i do

[surreal spruce]

Even without red seal it’s still 3 triggers 2x and without glass it’s 3x1 so trib is still the move regardless

[surreal spruce]

Ignore it

[unkempt creek]

well the "glass" cards are all like 3.5 and 5x

[surreal spruce]

What does this even mean

[unkempt creek]

they arent glass cards

[twin lantern]

I solved the issue

[ripe gull]

hi brooke

[unkempt creek]

theyre more xmult than them

[surreal spruce]

Yeah my point is, even without glass trib copying is still better

[unkempt creek]

ok

[surreal spruce]

Oh

[unkempt creek]

ty

[surreal spruce]

Modded

[unkempt creek]

yea

[surreal spruce]

Idk then if it isn’t consistent

[twin lantern]

I was doing important research on stone fish and had 23 tabs open

[surreal spruce]

I thought it may just been textures

[unkempt creek]

well they are all more than glass

[surreal spruce]

Hi wall

[surreal spruce]

Makes the math too complicated for me to care to do

[unkempt creek]

fair enough

ty

[unkempt creek]

also the trib is technically 2 tribs

it activates twice

but the bps only copy it like normal

so idk if that changes anything

[surreal spruce]

That does

Change math

[unkempt creek]

would copying one retrigger then be better?

[buoyant fog]

wait am I dumb or would one BP on sock and one BP on trib be better

idk man I'm not very good at Balatro tbh

its a miracle I've unlocked orange stake

[velvet patrol]

O7 I think this run is about cooked

Oh well

Not terrible for unseeded

[molten willow]

Lets call Trib Trib and lets call Sock and Dusk Retriggers. Your options are:
3 Trib, 2 Retriggers -> (2^3)^3 = 512
2 Trib, 3 Retriggers -> (2^2)^4 = 256
1 Trib, 4 Retriggers -> (2)^5 = 32

So youre current setup is already the best. Usually you want to balance the number of Mult givers and retriggers. In Baron Mime Builds for example, you also aim for a balanced number of the two.
Hypothetically, if you had a Blueprint instead of Dusk, copying Trib with all of them would give (2^4)^2 = 256.
Tl:dr youre good

(Since I saw we have glass in the Mix, one Glass is basically one Trib, which means the more Glass, the more valuable retriggers become.)

[urban sun]

sock and buskin coming to save the day

retriggering glass was my only hope

[surreal spruce]

It’s modded so math is even weirder but yes this

[unkempt creek]

ok but its 4 tribs

and 2 retriggers

[surreal spruce]

You wanna balance out triggers and X mult. Assuming red seal and glass it’s normally 2x Mult and 4 triggers with that build so all bp on trib would be more but it’s modded so it’s different

[surreal spruce]

Initial trigger too

Not including red seals

[unkempt creek]

fair

alr ty

[surreal spruce]

So it’s always your amount of retriggers + 1

And if it’s 4x3 then it won’t matter if it becomes 3x4

They both equal 12 triggers total

[buoyant fog]

Ohhh I see

[velvet patrol]

Gg

[buoyant fog]

NOOOO

[unkempt creek]

negative chicot really carrying this run

ngl

[urban sun]

can you win by only playing highcard in goldstake

[unkempt creek]

probably

im sure its been done before

[buoyant fog]

It's fs possible

[acoustic kettle]

Arcana skip

[buoyant fog]

some highcard builds are overpowered

[granite ridge]

talabro

[acoustic kettle]

Can the joker skip appear for ante 1

[unkempt creek]

baron mime dna

[granite ridge]

can you even beat small blind ante 1

[buoyant fog]

Fr

[granite ridge]

wait you can skip to get something

[urban sun]

the quesiton is if you can deck fix fast enough

[acoustic kettle]

Arcana to get judgment

[granite ridge]

doable but would be even more tedious than flush five only white stake run maybe?

[lean spade]

chippas

[acoustic kettle]

Foil stone

Stoned stone

[granite ridge]

chipmaxxing

[buoyant fog]

Polychrome stone is goated for high card builds

[buoyant fog]

Hey new high score tho at least

[granite ridge]

eh, normal high card is better

[unkempt creek]

yeah coulda been better prob

i wasnt trying that hard either

[acoustic kettle]

Reastically what is the build for hc only gold stake

[granite ridge]

poly stone build is basically bloodstone oops but worse

[lean spade]

im gona win by the action of selliing lucha

[unkempt creek]

prob stone cards plasma deck with retriggers

[buoyant fog]

True LOL

[granite ridge]

mime steel is pretty strong

[unkempt creek]

unless you mean to get far in endless

[acoustic kettle]

Ante 8

[unkempt creek]

yeah then stone with retriggers

wouldnt be too hard to pull of either

maybe sock pareidolia

[granite ridge]

its pretty unreliable without good seed for specifically that situation

[buoyant fog]

True

[acoustic kettle]

So i guess from first judgment is looking for blue or ice cream or any chips joker

[unkempt creek]

stuntman is good

[buoyant fog]

But when it happens naturally, its so satisfying

[acoustic kettle]

Oh yeah stuntman

[tall sky]

first page of gold stickers done

[buoyant fog]

honestly I'm an anti seeded run andy

[tall sky]

I've got most other spread out but I'm not very far away

[buoyant fog]

for some reason it feels like cheating to me

[unkempt creek]

never done a seeded run yet

[buoyant fog]

Me neither

[next thistle]

i wonder whats the best way to unlock this achievement

[twin lantern]

the reason i beat VV like:

[unkempt creek]

ectos

[acoustic kettle]

I've only ever done seeded for all 10s erratic

[tall sky]

raised fist and stm probably

[granite ridge]

the only seeded run i would consider playing is filtered seed for a specific starting joker or something

[unkempt creek]

thats fair

[buoyant fog]

ectoplasm fs, thats how I unlocked it

[tall sky]

though if you wanna go high card only on gold stake ur gonna have to get lucky with a judgement skip

good luck beating small blind with only high card

[unkempt creek]

rare skip stuntman beats like the first 3 antes i think

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma

[unkempt creek]

on plasma yeah

[acoustic kettle]

What about non plasma though

[unkempt creek]

not a clue

[tall sky]

that's a longshot

[buoyant fog]

True, if youre going for high card gold stake get ready to hit that end run button a million times LMAO

[granite ridge]

for rare skip you still need to see shop

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe suit jokers?

[unkempt creek]

im only good at plasma

[tall sky]

suit jokers are at most 3 mult

[granite ridge]

arcana pack is your only source of scoring before shop

[tall sky]

with high card it's not worth shit

[acoustic kettle]

Onyx agate maybe

[tall sky]

not enough

[granite ridge]

https://youtu.be/As_ZnoknRuA?si=RhiL8SgA4nYoTEgG here's one run but white stake

[buoyant fog]

Honestly I should stop torturing myself and just beat orange stake on green deck

[unkempt creek]

well i mean judgement stuntman...

[buoyant fog]

red deck gold stake is too hard

[acoustic kettle]

Judgment stuntman beats like first ante

Non plasma

[cosmic sun]

+1 discard

[unkempt creek]

thats plenty of shops to get some mult

[cosmic sun]

sometimes ya gotta look at the bright side

[urban sun]

of life

[brisk sandal]

all ready to bone

[urban sun]

it wont work

[cosmic sun]

+1 every round

[buoyant fog]

Yeah, it is helpful, but green deck is so much easier to get money, especially early on

[tall sky]

assuming you're doing ace, you'd need 300/16 which would still need like 19 mult to cross

you'd need half joker

[next thistle]

bruh

[tall sky]

either that or a good enough raised fist

[urban sun]

nice invisible joker you got there

[buoyant fog]

just get one more and ur set vro

[unkempt creek]

just use it on the hex

cmon now

[acoustic kettle]

Stuntman first skip then half joker in shop

[buoyant fog]

Oh wait

[granite ridge]

they cant use it lmao

[buoyant fog]

Yeah I just realized LMAOOOOO

[tall sky]

stuntman cant win round one non plasma

it's 250 chips

it's not enough

[surreal spruce]

One of the hardest decks

[unkempt creek]

you dont need just 1 hand

[tall sky]

ah true

assuming not one shot ofc

[serene forge]

nah

[tall sky]

best case scenario you'd find raised fist

probs the most consistent method of mult before getting steel

[unkempt creek]

would half joker or stuntman be better from a first skip?

[tall sky]

and stuntman would solve your chips

[acoustic kettle]

Stuntman i think

[tall sky]

stuntman, it's not even close

[acoustic kettle]

It gives more time

[granite ridge]

well it is a rare

[unkempt creek]

stuntman half joker is around 5k per hand

[tall sky]

i think stuntman alone can still clear ante 2 small blind with 4 hands

[spiral cairn]

balatro

more like balls

[unkempt creek]

yeah

[spiral cairn]

bro

i keep getting ecto in ante 1

[tall sky]

ideally just any source of mult is fine but raised fist or stm is ideal

[spiral cairn]

i dont even have a joker

like what do i do

[granite ridge]

buy some duh

[tall sky]

stm less if you have stuntman naturally

[unkempt creek]

half joker is just raised fist but better for high card only

[buoyant fog]

wym I got to purple stake in one day playing green deck 😭

[granite ridge]

fist synergies with mime

[buoyant fog]

granted it was like 8 hours of playing straight but still

[tall sky]

I don't like half joker in general cuz it eats into ur deck rotation

[acoustic kettle]

I bought seed money on green deck

[finite spade]

do y'all ever make a catastrophic misplay and lose your will to live

[spiral cairn]

spectral packs only let you use immedietely

[tall sky]

i prefer looking for my gold cards yk

[spiral cairn]

i cant keep iot in my

[granite ridge]

and mime is the staple of high card build

[unkempt creek]

i mean yeah but that relies on an entire seperate joker

[tall sky]

might as well get it out of rotation

[granite ridge]

oh its about ecto

[spiral cairn]

free money

[spiral cairn]

yuh

i was on black

[granite ridge]

just skip and find another, nothign you can do

[spiral cairn]

well

i never find another

[spiral cairn]

i got 2 souls in 1 run but no ecto

[granite ridge]

67%

[spiral cairn]

who votes no for pink floyd

[tall sky]

i got a glock in my rari

[granite ridge]

it is what it is, hop on another run

[urban sun]

whats wrong with pink floyd 😭

[spiral cairn]

ok diddal

[buoyant fog]

bro people hating on dark side of the moon just because its popular is the reason society has fallen

[buoyant fog]

THATS WHAT IM SAYIBG BRO

[acoustic kettle]

I've never seen soul in spectral

[spiral cairn]

my luck is good but bad

[buoyant fog]

The Wall is in my top 10 fav albums of all time

[urban sun]

ikr

[spiral cairn]

i got poly cavendish

[buoyant fog]

call me basic, idgaf, sometimes a popular album is popular for a reason

[spiral cairn]

and it broke in 1 round

[surreal spruce]

It takes away one of the only consistencies of the game being the Econ, you can high roll harder but that’s it

[knotty harbor]

guys whenever I reach ante 14 in this seed my game crashes; anyone know how to fix

[granite ridge]

thats crazy

[surreal spruce]

Consistency > high rolling

[spiral cairn]

yes

[next thistle]

that sucks lol

[urban sun]

i dont like green deck

[spiral cairn]

i ended up getting another one tho

[urban sun]

but yeah

[spiral cairn]

so its ifne

[urban sun]

yellow deck my beloved

[buoyant fog]

Green deck is my fav sounds like a skill issue to me

[spiral cairn]

yellow

money

money money

[buoyant fog]

Yellow is poop

[urban sun]

interest is so important

[acoustic kettle]

Yellow deck is just a much better econ deck than green

[buoyant fog]

more like the poop deck

[urban sun]

...

wait until you do gold stake mate

[next thistle]

in my case does the manacle boss count?

[mild hazel]

Nah what ?

[hearty warren]

green is messy

[buoyant fog]

which one is that again

[spiral cairn]

-1 hand size

manacle

kinda annoying

[urban sun]

mildy annoying

[acoustic kettle]

Trying to get the 5 hand size jonkler

[buoyant fog]

I'm stuck on gold stake rn 🥀 but its on red deck

[next thistle]

here

[urban sun]

pro tip play and level pairs

also grimbo is cool

[buoyant fog]

Ohhh no I dont think it does

[spiral cairn]

does flush four exist?

the hand

[urban sun]

no

[spiral cairn]

sad

[buoyant fog]

I always level up 2 pair

its my most played hand

[urban sun]

...

[acoustic kettle]

Flush of a kind

[buoyant fog]

like 2,000 or something like that

[urban sun]

he's hopeless

[acoustic kettle]

Lowk better than flush five

[buoyant fog]

Bro what are you talking about

[hearty warren]

green deals better with rentals when you're broke in the earlygame in exchange for weaker evon

[buoyant fog]

Anytime I pivot from 2 pair build I lose

Not entirely true

but still

[acoustic kettle]

2oak build is so goated

[hearty warren]

four of a kind takes priority iirc, even if you have four fingers

[acoustic kettle]

Surely it's flush five

[buoyant fog]

Pair builds dont scale up enough

[urban sun]

erm

[acoustic kettle]

Wrong

[hearty warren]

pair builds scale just enough

[urban sun]

im too tried for this

[left juniper]

Ace of Fours is the best hand btw

[urban sun]

tired

[spiral cairn]

r

[acoustic kettle]

Clearly never played balatro

[urban sun]

grimbo is so cool

[buoyant fog]

using runner for the first while to get chips and then pivoting to lvl 26 two pair 🤌

it works every time

[spiral cairn]

how do people get such high hand levels

[buoyant fog]

(I've only done it once)

[spiral cairn]

anaglyph?

[acoustic kettle]

Rich

[buoyant fog]

Burnt joker, or telescope

[acoustic kettle]

Easy way is blue seals

[urban sun]

just try playing a pair build for a couple games

[buoyant fog]

I have bro trust

[urban sun]

...

you need scaling

[buoyant fog]

it not very good, for me at least

[spiral cairn]

winning on black deck gives checkered right

[buoyant fog]

If youre gonna use a low hand just scale up high card

[urban sun]

bro?

[left juniper]

When you play hands if you select cards to make a different hand the higher "ranking" hand will take priority. It's why you can't play a Flush with 4 of the same rank because a Four of a Kind is higher

[buoyant fog]

No, it gives anaglyph

[spiral cairn]

what

then what gives checkered

[buoyant fog]

Orange I think

iirc

[acoustic kettle]

Why not flush five

[buoyant fog]

it might be purple

[urban sun]

erratic being the last deck is kind of stupid

[spiral cairn]

oh a flush house exists

[buoyant fog]

flush house is so fire

[acoustic kettle]

Does it not count

Right

It needs one more card

Informative answer

Thanks

[left juniper]

I think you just ignored what I said and asked something random 🙃

[buoyant fog]

😭

[spiral cairn]

can brainstorm/blueprint work on themselves

[acoustic kettle]

They kiss

[buoyant fog]

yes

[spiral cairn]

like brainstorm brainstorm and then ahead that i put x3

[left juniper]

Sure why not. They'd do nothing

[granite ridge]

yes

[spiral cairn]

no i mean

like with a card in the middle

[spiral cairn]

oh

shi

i win then

[bronze linden]

you can yes but they wont do anything unless they are copying something else

[acoustic kettle]

I was stupid i thought 4 of those cards would activate flush five

Because

Four fingers

[spiral cairn]

ye i meant copying something else but can they stack

[acoustic kettle]

Yes

[bronze linden]

yes they can

[left juniper]

No your order doesn't make sense... the x3 would be far left. Not brainstorm, brainstorm then x3 🤔

[spiral cairn]

ok diddy

[buoyant fog]

oh

[left juniper]

I gotchu

[buoyant fog]

no, for brainstorm it needs to be at the far left

[granite ridge]

you get their point alright

[spiral cairn]

bro same thing

[buoyant fog]

Oh Pfft

[spiral cairn]

i have brainstorm and blueprint rn

doesnt matter

[left juniper]

Well they're new. I wanted to be clear

[granite ridge]

3x being copied by something that is also being copied by something

[buoyant fog]

Yes blueprint far left will be copied by brainstorm

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[buoyant fog]

and the BP can copy bp

[spiral cairn]

js use smiley

instead

[serene forge]

I hate Smiley Face

[spiral cairn]

why not

its good

[acoustic kettle]

Scary face better fr

[granite ridge]

☹️

[granite ridge]

eh scary is more situational

[buoyant fog]

True

[urban sun]

i think we all agree that senace is useless

[spiral cairn]

why is smiley not good

[granite ridge]

altho yea scary os more viable late game

[spiral cairn]

it carried me through every deck

except black

black sucks

[serene forge]

baseball card

[acoustic kettle]

I sold triboulet for scary face

[granite ridge]

nah one suit changing tarot is all you need to make it work
