[left juniper]

Honestly don't be mad. You'll throw plenty of others in the future too

[acoustic kettle]

It's my first perkeo after like 300 runs

I'm mad

Probably even more than 300

300 seems low

[pale grotto]

In 3 weeks perkeo will appear again dw

[acoustic kettle]

I'm so close to installing brainstorm just so i can get it over with

[worldly barn]

Why is walkie talkie in a spider web

[lunar zealot]

You can't spell walkie talkie without a

[ripe sleet]

I love invisble joker so much

[left juniper]

brb I gotta crunch some numbers but I will trust you for now

[ripe sleet]

always thought it was a soundwave? similar to what you'd seen in a comic book speech bubble

[worldly barn]

Maybe that's the idea

Just always looked like a spider web to me lol

[worldly barn]

But that doesn't have a spider web pattern

😭

[left juniper]

Proof?

[spiral cairn]

should i get barob

baron

[left juniper]

No

[spiral cairn]

okay

[ripe sleet]

barob

[worldly barn]

baron and bloodstone don't work together

[left juniper]

Also ante 2 baron is bait

[worldly barn]

If it wasn't eternal and bloodstone also wasn't eternal and if you had 13 more dollars you could take it maybe

maybe

[ripe sleet]

took me ages to gold sticker barob, not for a lack of appearance, so he's now an omen for a dud run

[gaunt nacelle]

sadness

[worldly barn]

What deck should I play yall

[left juniper]

I made the Walkie Talkie Soundwave more obvious so people could tell what it is

[worldly barn]

Missing the spiderweb

Lwk

[left juniper]

No it's a soundwave not spiderweb smh my head

[worldly barn]

that's a transformer

[left juniper]

It's a Soundwave like I said

[left juniper]

Erratic

[north schooner]

How do I fit popcorn and/or perkeo into this build. Boss is cerulean bell, up next. Groker is 35 and can probably go for popcorn. Campfire's already at x3.25

[ripe sleet]

autism ™

[left juniper]

@mods I'm being bullied

[ripe sleet]

oh god oh fuck

it was game recognise game i swear

[left juniper]

Do you need Groker?

[ripe sleet]

don't send me to black deck hell

[left juniper]

Black Deck but white stake. Consider it purgatory

[ripe sleet]

penance deck

[neon light]

I hate this game sometimes 😭 got the worst draws and not a single lucky proc on the one hand that matters

[left juniper]

Pretty damn close though. Don't give up!

[neon light]

I just want gold stake unlocked on one deck atleast 🥲

[left juniper]

What were the 5 jokers? I think I see Brainstorm

[neon light]

Photochad dusk brainstorm and smiley face

[spiral cairn]

should i get rid of dice for sock?

[neon light]

Wrong ss i assume

[spiral cairn]

wait wrong photo

here

[left juniper]

Good lineup. Just unlucky draw 🙁 52 card deck too but I understand deckfixing isn't always simple

[north schooner]

Groker's at 35. Popcorn would be at 20. Pair only has 9 mult. Probably close enough to win in one hand. If I don't sell any of the xMult, definitely if I pump campfire more

[spiral cairn]

dice for sock!

??

should i or nah

[left juniper]

I'd sell Chad for Sock honestly

5 retriggers vs 2 if heart face cards

[north schooner]

I should probably play it safe and just do popcorn for now, perkeo can wait.

[spiral cairn]

hm

lets try that

[left juniper]

Just do Popcorn yeah. Dont throw

[spiral cairn]

bro

[ripe sleet]

have you gotten seltzer yet or does it's weight lurk over you like a great evil

[spiral cairn]

never forget to read the boss blind

[royal bobcat]

preach

[neon light]

I had some deck fixing done but oh well

[ripe sleet]

won, at what cost?

no stickers

[north schooner]

I got seltzer in the most epic game I have ever played

[north schooner]

Popcorn and bean are left

[gaunt nacelle]

I didnt

[left juniper]

Reading? lol ok nerds

[ripe sleet]

popcorn and bean i got one run after another, now seltzer is hiding in the attic of the shop

[left juniper]

💪 next run easy win

[spiral cairn]

nice

yay unlocked plosma

[north schooner]

I was one-shotting with 35 Grimbo and x9 bp banan campfire. BP and x5 campfire should be good, right? And then I can squeeze in burglar?

[ripe sleet]

crazy sentence btw

[north schooner]

Wait never mind, 3^3 is 27, not 9

[left juniper]

ooof do you wanna greed though? Popcorn is more annoying than Burglar so it might be nice to get it done

[north schooner]

Yeah I'm bad at math

[left juniper]

math kinda overrated

[ripe sleet]

all of you have reminded me that me, a grown adult, has math homework to do

the homework of damocles hangs over me

[north schooner]

My friends and I get together every year to play games for a weekend, and between 40k, eldritch horror, swccg, mtg, and more, it was me describing my Balatro game that became "the most impenetrable conversation I've heard this week"

[latent egret]

do you have 3 x3 jokers ?

is campfire x3 i mean

[north schooner]

Blueprint, cavendish, and campfire

[north schooner]

Yeah, I mean it's x5 now tho

[latent egret]

yeah then 5.5x campfire should be the same then

even better

[north schooner]

Oh... because 5x5 is 25

oof

[latent egret]

well is a few % diff bewteen 25 and 27

so unless you're barely getting by it does not matter

[lost hawk]

somehow made it to ante 5 with this combo in the pocket

[lusty sky]

My 1st endless run as a beginner

[north schooner]

Got campfire up to 6.25, and it took two hands, but it came through. Nice to get both burglar and especially popcorn out of the way

[north schooner]

Thanks for the peer review, friend

Next up:
Mime
Sixth Sense
Turtle Bean
Idol
Hit the Road
Perkeo

[latent egret]

having mime as one of the lasts is surprising

[violet socket]

is there a limit?

[north schooner]

lil bit, guess I just need a good blue seal run or something

[lost hawk]

nope

[violet socket]

infinite money 🤑

[latent egret]

of the dark ones no$

you might want to sell/use the first one so that you can take advantage of more tarots/blue seals

[lost hawk]

checker deck player's dream

[royal bobcat]

yes, 1 and 309 zeroes behind it

[lost hawk]

$1000 says the invis joker copies space joker and i refund the game

[north schooner]

Wouldn't be the worst hit

[lost hawk]

we stay winning

[ripe sleet]

ill take that action

FUCK

[north schooner]

wait you won tho

[ripe sleet]

oh

[lost hawk]

gold stake, ante 8, the stakes are high

[ripe sleet]

yay!!!!

[ripe sleet]

the humble platinum stake lurking in the next update

[balmy ridge]

is it crazy to ankh c9?

[ripe sleet]

yes

[lost hawk]

you go to hell if you do that

[ripe sleet]

there's an extra circle just for that

[lost hawk]

do not pass go, do not collect $200

[balmy ridge]

i did it

[lost hawk]

straight to hell

[balmy ridge]

jk used purple

[ripe sleet]

there is a tartarus for you. bleak, unending

oh

yay!!!!

[balmy ridge]

i like cloud 9 though its cool

[north schooner]

coward

[balmy ridge]

moo

[lost hawk]

first gold stake

on the easiest deck

[violet socket]

so basically no

[balmy ridge]

congrats

[ripe sleet]

balatro mfs when your favourite joker isn’t a useful one

[north schooner]

Congrats!

[north schooner]

What's wrong with cloud 9? Starts out like golden joker and only gets better

[ripe sleet]

it's the hiker of econ jokers

[lunar zealot]

no?

[ripe sleet]

useful sure, but by far not the most

[lunar zealot]

Absolutely not

[lost hawk]

that's just rude

[north schooner]

No that's satellite

[lunar zealot]

9s are the 2nd best rank in the game

[lost hawk]

don't compare hiker to that trash

[lunar zealot]

precisely because cloud 9 is so good

[ripe sleet]

might be onto something

[balmy ridge]

hiker on abandoned is goated

[lunar zealot]

Basically always worth building towards

[north schooner]

satellite still good

[ripe sleet]

okay OKAY

settle down

[lunar zealot]

'settle down' i don't think i will actually

[manic talon]

cloud 9 gives 4 dollars with no setup, thats the same as golden joker, and you can scale it, thats a good joker

[minor portal]

can all two seance enjoyers rise to the conversation

[balmy ridge]

full body chills

[lost hawk]

would double oops all 6s make space joker 3/4 or 4/4

[lunar zealot]

cloud 9 is also uncommon which is a bigger boon than you think it is

[lost hawk]

asking for a friend

[manic talon]

if its better than golden joker its a good econ joker

[north schooner]

There's a time and a place

[balmy ridge]

i assume 4/4 but i don't actually know

[lost hawk]

yeah I've never actually had double oops before

[manic talon]

doubles, so 4/4

[ripe sleet]

it would do 4/4

[balmy ridge]

"listed probabilities" would seem like

yeah

[north schooner]

4/4

[minor portal]

if you think about it, it is also a econ joker

[lunar zealot]

4/4

[lost hawk]

neat

[ripe sleet]

thanks guys i think he knows now

[north schooner]

It is, but vagabond is way, way better

[lunar zealot]

compares a spectral gen to a tarot gen

Very smart

[north schooner]

Double oops is a fun run to do at least once

[ripe sleet]

what

[manic talon]

if we compare it as a strict econ joker vagabond do be better

[ripe sleet]

one must imagine vagabond as an econ joker

[minor portal]

trust immolation will hit

[lost hawk]

usually runs i keep oops on wind up being oops double bloodstone

[lunar zealot]

Like i don't deny vagabond helps econ but like come on man

they do different things

[north schooner]

do they really?

[ripe sleet]

im so glad this server doesn't have a voice chat

[hardy jackal]

y

[lost hawk]

y

[minor portal]

they generate cards.... and uh..... requirements

[north schooner]

arguably vagabond is more of an econ joker than seance, even if we're not talking value/round

[hardy jackal]

When was vagabond anything but an econ joker

[lost hawk]

done w balala tonight

[north schooner]

Thank you

[manic talon]

its also deckfixing

[lunar zealot]

Well tbf seance isn't a joker

[ripe sleet]

it generates.... arcana....?

[lunar zealot]

its only thing that it does is give x1.5 mult

[hardy jackal]

I'll show you arcana

[lunar zealot]

Literally why are you complaining

[balmy ridge]

take invis to copy square or c9?

[ripe sleet]

yes

[hardy jackal]

Blueprint in the reroll

[north schooner]

what

[minor portal]

copy ice cream

[balmy ridge]

its perishable and rental

[balmy ridge]

nope

[manic talon]

nooo, my joker that basically only is relevant for 5 rounds except for one specific circumstance is only available for 5 rounds

[minor portal]

I noticed

[hardy jackal]

Gros michel good enough

[balmy ridge]

not on plasma

[royal bobcat]

we love cloud nine

[ripe sleet]

apparently we do

[hardy jackal]

Cloud nine is FINE, it's an OKAY joker

[lunar zealot]

Balatro players are so entitled

[north schooner]

rental ice cream is quite the concept

[minor portal]

it adds flavor

it's a yellow sprinkle

[hardy jackal]

What if there was a freezer joker, and you place it next to ice cream and it lasts longer

[north schooner]

crazy talk

[balmy ridge]

im so sad this one is perishable, just HAD to be foil too

[ripe sleet]

you make me want to say bad words

[balmy ridge]

am i crazy to think this is a good idea

[ripe sleet]

yes

[balmy ridge]

would probably only be effective in plasma, moderately so

but it's a cool concept

[minor portal]

what if there was an OVEN joker... that made ice cream lose chips faster....

[hardy jackal]

For what purpose

[ripe sleet]

terror

[minor portal]

it is stated in the second part

[hardy jackal]

In what situation would you want to remove ice cream faster? Eternal?

[vocal rose]

yes

[lunar zealot]

Cavendish

[minor portal]

oh and I guess if you have burnt joker next to the oven you get two burnt jokers

Explicitly three in total

[hardy jackal]

so burnt joker is twice as effective?

[lunar zealot]

they should add a joker called Gun

and when you sell it it turns the joker to the right negative and perishable

[hardy jackal]

that makes no sense

[minor portal]

new joker idea

[lunar zealot]

Neither does the freezer joker

but you don't see anyone talking about it

[hardy jackal]

I know

[lunar zealot]

i'm still going to plug the joker idea of an Actual joker

that you can play as a playing card

and declare it to be any rank and suit you want

that would be so fun

[minor portal]

Panic Button - Uncommon
Selling this joker during a blind adds x5 to your played hands this blind and sets your money to zero.

or something

[lunar zealot]

this and endless mode

🤤

ez burglar/serpent

[minor portal]

they should most certainly let me mod my own jokers into the game

I can be trusted making fair and original cards

[ripe sleet]

joker idea - milk - common
my dad leaves and comes back in 18 rounds

[hardy jackal]

Milk synergy with Mr. Bones

[ripe sleet]

he comes back 18 rounds after he explodes?

[hardy jackal]

Yeah

[left delta]

So tempting but what do I sell

[ripe sleet]

idol

[balmy ridge]

flower pot activates on cards played, not scored, yes?

[ripe sleet]

no, scored

[left delta]

Here’s my deck so far

[left delta]

Wouldn’t idol be more important long term?

[stiff ore]

wow thanks game..

[ripe sleet]

i will die on this hill idol is a slop joker

[stiff ore]

its easy enough to get without diamonds, but like giving me almost a full hand of debuffed cards is just annoying

[ripe sleet]

you'll still get the mult bonus if you play them tho

[stiff ore]

yeah like i said, its just annoying being given all debuffs lol

[twin lantern]

yes it is

I'll die with you

[left delta]

Well this is interesting lol

[twin lantern]

freeest win ever

[stiff ore]

i love that ace counts for a low straight

[twin lantern]

also, copy photo 😭

[stiff ore]

ooh what are those infinity seals?

[twin lantern]

that's the symbol for "eternal"

that joker can't die

no matter what you do, you just have it forever now

[left delta]

Can’t be sold or destroyed

[stiff ore]

oh shit nice

[twin lantern]

even stuff like hex won't kill it

[twin lantern]

copy photograph 😭

[stiff ore]

i only beat the game once on the phone, havent managaed to beat it yet on pc

[twin lantern]

oh

[stiff ore]

I ALMOST DID

[twin lantern]

man 😭

[left delta]

Ya know… that’s smart at this point lol

[twin lantern]

how far off were you?

[stiff ore]

but i ended up rerolling the final into an extra large, meaning i needed 300K chips

[cloud wolf]

I couldn't 😭

[twin lantern]

wins the run
changes the order
starts new run

[twin lantern]

holy shit 😭

[twin lantern]

ohh

that sucks

screw vv

[stiff ore]

i used a blind to reroll and then realized i couldnt use my director's cut to reroll again

so i was stuck with an extra large

[twin lantern]

it's not that hard to win though

[stiff ore]

my deck was good enough to win too without the extra large

[left delta]

I could add dusk for more retriggers lol

[twin lantern]

you can just ask for correct decisions on discord

[twin lantern]

holy crap no 😭

you have enough already go win 😭

also dusk does nothing

[left delta]

lol.

[left delta]

Ya I know

Idol came back in ante 8! LOL

[wooden crown]

always do that the other way around

[surreal sandal]

Which 20$ should i choose ?

[wooden crown]

whats on the fool?

[surreal sandal]

Hermit

[cloud wolf]

My hand when I try to play pairs

[wooden crown]

bummer

[stiff ore]

yeah didnt realize until it happened lol first time trying that

[minor portal]

seems like a straight shot to something if you discard

[stiff ore]

didnt have a reroll when i won on the phone lol

[vocal rose]

why'd you skip

[cloud wolf]

Yeah

[latent egret]

finally, i can rest at peace

[wooden crown]

jokerless nice

[latent egret]

i can consider myself a not bad balatro player

[cloud wolf]

lvl 41 🫠

[stiff ore]

i cant remember exactly what the original blind was but iirc i think it debuffed some of my cards

[left delta]

Crap- I still have to beat jokerless

[latent egret]

with only ante 4 blue seal too

[earnest bison]

Plant/Leaf?

[stiff ore]

checking now

[wooden crown]

restart for spectral, take trance 🤓

[cloud wolf]

Even more astonishing

[stiff ore]

yes verdant leaf, and all my jokers were damn near needed for my hands lol

[latent egret]

spectral tag are only ante 2 no ?

[earnest bison]

Makes sense.

[stiff ore]

so i rerolled, it turned into extra large and then i was fucked lol

[nova junco]

white stake sure is something lmao

[wooden crown]

Am I a freak for liking to play Magic Deck always starting with an Arcana skip?

[nova junco]

average white stake experience

[nova junco]

nah It's fun

[wooden crown]

true... do ante 1 until spectral I guess

[nova junco]

I am very good at the game

[wooden crown]

I feel like for that deck in particular that skip should always be present in ante 1 SB or BB

[wooden crown]

thats a lot of doing

[nova junco]

I found oops

time to take oops

and make stencil useless again

[wooden crown]

what do you have that goes with oops

[nova junco]

4oak lucky

[stiff ore]

welp.. im a dumbass

i just changed cards to spade... did realize the boss blind debuffs spades xD

[earnest bison]

stonks

[nova junco]

if it's ante 1 then that's actually a good play

[stiff ore]

yeah its just funny i could have changed them to hearts instead but i went with spades

[nova junco]

im getting 30 dollars each round

[stiff ore]

my arcana pack had both world and lovers

nice

[nova junco]

thats not including lucky

[wooden crown]

oops

[nova junco]

no I mean it's a good play because now spades aren't gonna be debuffed for the rest of the run

[stiff ore]

oh thats fair i didnt think about removing blinds from future antes

[nova junco]

if I get a suit debuff ante 1 I usually start turning my entire deck that suit immediately

[stiff ore]

i thought you meant moreso just that its an early blind so i can beat it without my spades

[stiff ore]

lol

[earnest bison]

Reverse psychology. Peak.

[balmy ridge]

i have a big wee

but i still wish it was bigger

[nova junco]

is that a mod

[balmy ridge]

yes

chad mod

[nova junco]

I am downloading that right this moment

[balmy ridge]

sell everything to ankh?

[balmy ridge]

good choice

[spiral cairn]

yuhh

[stiff ore]

Ayy nice

[spiral cairn]

and i lost in thr next round cuz i misclicked

very fun

[nova junco]

oh it changes ALL

the jokers

[brittle tendon]

Sell everything that isn't eternal

Having a 2nd wee or retrigger to scale wee is super good

[long cypress]

please use obs or steam's recording

for your own good

[balmy ridge]

that's what i meant, it's literally impossible to sell eternals, that's the point but thank you

[nova junco]

I wanted to see blueprint and brainstorm but I legit CANNOT find them

in the collection

like the hel is going on

[balmy ridge]

bs p10 bp p9

lol

[nova junco]

they're broken😭

I knew something was off lmao

probably because I have bluestorm installed, manually without the texture manager

[left delta]

I’ve gotten 2 invis jokers lol

[latent egret]

nah it's just for when i wanna clip stuff, i never record anything long

mostsly for valorant clutches (eww i know)

[long cypress]

they both have this feature

without any watermarks, "recorded with ..." or other bullshit

[latent egret]

maybe but this one comes with it out of the box

[long cypress]

in modern world that's a downside

[latent egret]

valid argument, i just don't care for it

[spiral cairn]

rank?

[latent egret]

d3

[spiral cairn]

oh

im s1 🙏

[latent egret]

wouldn't endulge in this disgusting behavior still if at least i wasn't decent

[spiral cairn]

valorant is fine

the people who play are crazy

[floral mural]

the 3 seconds it takes to put a game capture on obs is nothing you should worry about tbh

i use steam recording these days because it requires less work than redownloading obs on the pc

since i didnt download it yet

[nova junco]

Use Windows gamebar

It's the best recording software ever

[latent egret]

i acually needed the steelseries software for my keayboard so it just came with it

since i might need to use obs anyways soon im gonna look into it

[balmy ridge]

heh... wee + wee = weewee

[stiff ore]

122K chips in one hand lol

[latent egret]

you are new here

welcome

[stiff ore]

XD yes yes I am lol

[latent egret]

you might wanna throw away the rock joker, your 4th one

15 mult added at the end is usless

[alpine hollow]

its a gros michel minus the expiration

[latent egret]

if you're playing photochad, this 15 mult is maybe 3% increase, if even that

flat mult after card triggers is less valuable

[stiff ore]

yeah i know, i usually burn through my discards early, but i dont have many cards that arent diamond or spades now lol

[latent egret]

it's actually your first win gj

[stiff ore]

first on pc

i won once on phone aswell

[latent egret]

if you dig deep enought you'll get enough chips to have more than the number of atoms in the observable universe

[stiff ore]

managed to reroll the vessel

[balmy ridge]

gold stake plasma done :D

[stiff ore]

ayy nice

[balmy ridge]

my weewee was too big

[lunar zealot]

Oh god not that guy

you need to consume better balatro content

like drspectred

[balmy ridge]

i like doc spec

[left delta]

I want the Baron but don’t think I can successfully shift…

[lunar zealot]

You already won

[balmy ridge]

show deck

[lunar zealot]

just proceed to orange stake

[balmy ridge]

maybe its a high score run

[royal bobcat]

based

always quit on ante 8 win screen

[left delta]

I like seeing how far I can go lol

[lunar zealot]

Then do that on gold stake for brownie points

high score on purple stake is just too meh

[clear socket]

got a huge wee on gold stake plasma just got thru ante 12

gonna die for sure now tho

[left delta]

Ya I’m excited to get this to fold finally- I also have never got naninf so I look for those chances

[lunar zealot]

well this certainly isn't a way to get naneinf

A ridiculously high score yes

undeniable

not naneinf

[left delta]

Ok. Whats even needed for naninf

[clear socket]

perkeo pretty much

i don't think there's a naninf strategy that doesn't involve perkeo shennenigans or the most absurd lucky nat negatives

[left delta]

Ok

Oh gosh lol

[clear socket]

that's a damn good hit yeah

[floral mural]

baron mime burglar naneinf

still has a ton of goals you need to hit

thats the main naneinf method since it uses no legendaries

i think

[clear socket]

How does the burglar enable the naneinf

[floral mural]

serpant

[clear socket]

Ah okay

[floral mural]

with a bunch of copy jokers on burglar

[earnest bison]

snek

[clear socket]

so you get reroll voucher for boss rerolls and enough money to always get serpent boss then just skip to serpent

[floral mural]

you still need vouchers and not to get extraordinarily unlucky

[clear socket]

Yeah

[floral mural]

its on plasma obviously

[clear socket]

I forgot about that

[floral mural]

STILL MORE CONSISTENT THAN PULLING A LEGENDARY HAHA

[clear socket]

Simply obtain infinite money to always fight the serpent

Easy enough

[floral mural]

like it has a ton of steps to it but its viable to do on more seeds since it doesnt require perkeo

[clear socket]

Yeah

[floral mural]

ante 39 requires nat negative bullshit however

specifically because ante 32 exists

and you cant just serpant on that one

[clear socket]

Ante 39 is what i meant when i said naninf

[floral mural]

huh

theyre seperate

didnt do naneinf yet (or at all since a 3 hour long run seems boring as hell when its just waiting) but ante 39 and naneinf are wholly seperate since you need some bullshit to beat ante 32 i heard

[clear socket]

I understand that they are seperate, just in my head when im doing deep endless my goal is to hit 39 where the game is impossible

there's a lot of strategy to just hit naneinf score wise

so earlier when i said you need nat negative bullshit and perkeo to hit naneinf, i meant ante 39

[floral mural]

god endless runs are so boring to me. theres nothing to do past a certain point but pray

[clear socket]

pretty much, i usually just play gold stake and try to go as far as i can

White stake trying to go endless i've done a lot and it's repetitive past a certain point

Like the last run I did i got to ante 13 on gold stake with a wee joker and no glass or red seals, very fun to get that far

way more fun than doing baron mime again

[nova junco]

To me something that's a lot of fun is seeing how bad and stupid can I play while still winning white stake

[clear socket]

That seems valid too

[nova junco]

Earlier I did a run with a stencil and 4 econ lmao

[clear socket]

I like trying to grow specific cards as much as possible regardless of how deep it actually goes

Like getting 500 chips on cards with a hiker

stuff like that

Probably the weirdest run I ever did was a run on ghost deck where i got erosion, hexxed it, ankhed it, then the game gave me a lot of immolates

i got down to like a 3 card deck

[nova junco]

What lmao

[clear socket]

very silly but it worked

[nova junco]

Sometimes I lose because I run out of cards

Honestly to me that counts as a win lol

[clear socket]

0 card deck lose instantly

Lol

[nova junco]

That too but often I just have too many hands and use all my cards with like 2 hands left

[clear socket]

I have lost from not paying attention like that a lot of times so i understand, trying to maximize joker value and seals and stuff then you accidentally no cards

[acoustic kettle]

Endless to get funny screenshots

[balmy ridge]

@nova junco did you get chad mod?

[vocal rose]

there is

the "consistent" way is burglar serpent

[prisma oxide]

Are the odds high for those tags give me both vagabond and campfire?

[vocal rose]

no they're very low

and even if you did get them theres also a chance they're stickered

AND you'll likely die on round 4

so you're just cooked

[wicked crypt]

infinite chips

[acoustic kettle]

Bp bs

[prisma oxide]

I got perishable campfire and perishable blueprint 😭

[manic talon]

1 in 20 times 1 in 19, then add 0.33^4 because both can be perishable/rental

[vocal rose]

yeah that was never going to work

[prisma oxide]

But got stencil :D

[manic talon]

atleast its not rental

its still sells for a lot

[balmy ridge]

ancient joker picks based on your deck or randomized

[left juniper]

@manic talon just wanna say I saw your comment recently on a video about the Trading Card and The Hook. Great info. I wont elaborate to keep people guessing

[shell dagger]

Nice xmult

[royal bobcat]

please do elaborate

[vocal rose]

its random

but wont pick the same two suits in a row

[shell dagger]

*2 because you don’t mind what order you get them

[balmy ridge]

eternal krusty 🥀

[balmy ridge]

kk ty

[floral mural]

glass cards?

[shell dagger]

Yeah

Well, 1 glass card

[alpine hollow]

hiker + chad is very fun

[shell dagger]

But it was enough

[unborn onyx]

VROOOOM

VROOOOM

[left juniper]

Secret

[royal bobcat]

my question is simply whether or not the hook destroys both cards or not

[left juniper]

Nah you need to have 1 card in hand only

[steel nymph]

Alright chat, how do I hit a 10m hand/ beat the black deck? My best hand is 3m, so far I've mostly been building around flushes/ full houses (not sure which is better)
I know some of the basics like +mult before xMult, but my runs run out of steam before I can pop off

[royal bobcat]

interesting

[shell dagger]

Retrigger builds with glass or photograph or other on-score xmult

That’s the easiest way

[hardy fable]

play plasma

[lunar zealot]

reroll for canio

[balmy ridge]

if i use priestess here, it can only give me cards that aren't in the pack right?

[lunar zealot]

Jk

[floral mural]

you can do 10 mil fairly easily if youre focused

it aint just a plasma thing to score high

[pale wolf]

ideally you would have used it before going into the pack I think

so you can continue to block planets in the future

or potentially get two of the planet that you want

[balmy ridge]

got it from hallucination

so wasn't possible

[pale wolf]

oh okay fair

[shadow mortar]

Im boutta crash out on my luck

Im trying for naneinf

And i keep getting hieroglyph ante 2

[steel nymph]

Aight ill aim to unlock plasma, Ive heard checkered deck is pretty easy to scale too?

[shell dagger]

Nothing wrong with that

[shadow mortar]

8 times in z row? What are the odds

[shadow mortar]

Actually hieroglyph early is very bac

Bad*

[shell dagger]

No it isn’t

Source: i have multiple naneinfs

[shadow mortar]

-1 hand means less survivability and less money overall?

[shell dagger]

It means more shops and more time to scale

[shadow mortar]

Yes, but ante 2?

[pale wolf]

and one voucher that cant appear ofc

[manic talon]

its white stake -1 hand doesnt actually do anything

[shadow mortar]

Wont ante 12 or 13 be better

[shell dagger]

No you want it earlier

[pale wolf]

wanna fill up your vouchers so you dont get repeats

[shell dagger]

You want to repeat an ante where you aren’t struggling for score

[vagrant dawn]

[shadow mortar]

What about planet merchant voucher? Surely i should skip it right, especizlly in ante 7 or less,

[shell dagger]

Yes skip always

But take magic trick

[honest tiger]

haiii

how are yall

[shadow mortar]

Magic trick? Why? I thought i should always skip??

[steel nymph]

Also are there any good joker combos I can look for?

[shell dagger]

Planet merchant is way worse for bloat

Tycoon is 7x worse than illusion for ruining the shop

[lavish gazelle]

Looks inside

[honest tiger]

are women real

[balmy ridge]

only in video games

[latent egret]

flush is kinda bad, full houses might be even worse

[shadow mortar]

Oh ok, thx, also, do u know how to deckfix fast? I keep not finding hung men, death, red seala, etc. I check standard packs too.

[honest tiger]

that why dogs are cooler

[lavish gazelle]

The ever valuable trading card

[latent egret]

ancient joker, idol, any retriggers and glass cards...

[balmy ridge]

what did she mean by this

bottom text

[shadow mortar]

Yeah but i cant find it

[honest tiger]

dogs are real

[steel nymph]

Ive seen people go high card builds but I think you need some real good jokers for that no?

[shadow mortar]

Economy is terrible early game

[balmy ridge]

with trading card? not really

[honest tiger]

who doesn't love dogs

[balmy ridge]

i mean its better than nothing, lets you get extra interest too

[latent egret]

it's possible but you get much less leeway

[lavish gazelle]

Bait used to be believable

[balmy ridge]

for example if you go into the round with $12 and trading card u get an extra buck

[balmy ridge]

i'm a cat person meow

[latent egret]

like with a flush five build you can make more moneu, you can play ancient, hack, idol and many more

[shadow mortar]

Like, i cant find trading card, to roll to find trading card, you need money, and to get money, you need time, but if you use time, you are cooked

[honest tiger]

cat are prrrrrretty nice too

[latent egret]

there are wayy more jokers that synergise with big hands

[steel nymph]

yeh like im not trying for a god run

[honest tiger]

horses are cool too, top 3 animal imo

[latent egret]

if you're just looking for 10m, you could play erratic deck and wait until you get like 9 of a card (face cards and 2through 5 would be better)

that'll take away from deck fixing

[steel nymph]

Ive read you can transition from a multi-card hand and build for a high card hand

I dont think i have erratic deck

[latent egret]

not needed for 10m

far from it

[balmy ridge]

i think erratic unlock condition is beating gold stake

[steel nymph]

yeh 10m is my first milestone, trying to find a reasonable strategy to get there before thinking bigger

[balmy ridge]

10m isnt very hard to get, most photochad runs get you there i'm sure

[latent egret]

also for 10m forget about any +mult jokers

[steel nymph]

Ive definitely been overlooking those jokers

[latent egret]

or even + chips, and xmult

its gonna be through triggers

[balmy ridge]

synergies can be pretty important, for example photograph gives your first played face card 2x mult when scored, you can use chad to retrigger that card an additional 2 times giving 2x, then 2x, then 2x

[vagrant dawn]

🐴

[steel nymph]

working on it

[prisma oxide]

Do i take the stuntman? Im playing lucky pairs but i believe im gonna die to the needle

[rocky nest]

Blueprint or egg?

[latent egret]

bp

this ought to be bait but oh well

[rocky nest]

I mean I considered egg for a sec

[mortal nimbus]

Blueprint can't be an egg, so obviously take egg

[rocky nest]

Thats a good point

[steel nymph]

no shot I get perkeo first hand lol

how should I play this

[mortal nimbus]

take judgement here probably

[rocky nest]

Get good card (ideally money one) and copy unless you might have like sixth sense and then hope for a good spectral

[latent egret]

honestly getting anything up there is important

4bucks a round

then reroll for hermit and you got a lotta money

[prisma oxide]

Somehow i won 😭

[nova junco]

Yes

[latent egret]

how's it going

[steel nymph]

I used the first consumable i had out of reflex lol

cooking up some dogshit though

[latent egret]

yeah you're not going 10m with that

you need some value generation

[steel nymph]

like gold farming?

[latent egret]

either a hermit up there or a joker that does anything

you can get gold cards, purple seals

[steel nymph]

Probably shouldnt mention the card I used was a hermit

[latent egret]

it happens, ive lost a great share of runs by not paying attention

[steel nymph]

square joker over blue joker?

Id have to play 30 4-card hands to improve though..

[latent egret]

tbh just choose a hand you can play a lot

but a big one

and copy planets with perkeo

that's one way to scale

you get less money but at least you might be able to use a joker space or something else

[steel nymph]

so more like 3oak or 2pair?

[balmy ridge]

check egg

[latent egret]

3 oak is great if you're not in gold stake

kinda risky but a lot of scaling

[steel nymph]

Alright well ive got a hermit consumable now, should I keep it and switch to farming a better hand?

[latent egret]

yea keep it

[rancid widget]

fuck bro why it's only one or another. Im taking the chad, but i'd like the photo too

[latent egret]

20 bucks a round is better than a lot of things

[latent egret]

chad plays with todd great, so at least there's that

[rancid widget]

yes but new roffle video looks inside blah blah blah

[pine swift]

Brainstorm and invisible joker going crazy on white stake

[clear socket]

had a pretty great run with green joker and odd todd + chad recently

if photochad wasn't so obviously better it's a combo i'd go for more often

[steel nymph]

should I cop

[vocal rose]

is the sky blue

[wintry ice]

if constellation isn't present

[floral grove]

Nat neg invis w/ showman? I didnt know this was possible

[vocal rose]

you didnt know a natural negative joker was possible?

[thorny garnet]

i hate flushes

[steel nymph]

Swap green joker for blueprint and put max greed with perkeo?

Or blue joker? the extra chips are pretty nice though

[wintry ice]

i won the 50/50 (balatrodle)

[floral grove]

I just didnt know invis joker could be nat neg

Bcs to my knowledge it wasnt possible

But im pleasantly proved wrong lol

[vocal rose]

why would it not be possible

[floral grove]

Idk i heard it from someone

[naive jolt]

Cause it then break the slot count

You can have x+1/x jokers

Which mean no more buying jokers allowed invis

But yet it's doable

[floral grove]

But check it out, my first 7/6 jokers!

[naive jolt]

Now you're stuck tho

Until you find an ecto

[clear socket]

simply get a nat negative trib

[naive jolt]

Doesn't work

[clear socket]

Oh yeah cuz you can't click it when slots are full

even if it would be

[naive jolt]

You cannot take negatives when at x+1/x joker

You can only take them at x/x

[wheat pumice]

Y'all anyone know how to fix this (or if I'm forever just not allowed to use invisible joker)

About a week ago, I won with 4 jokers and had the invisible joker unlock animation, however in the collection there is still a lock on it. In the last week I have not seen it in a single run, and when I redo the challenge of only 4 jokers successfully it doesn't unlock again.

Also yes it is locked and not undiscovered, I know the difference and it can be seen in the image

[naive jolt]

Try doing it in a normal game
Like on painted deck

[wheat pumice]

Painted deck was the exact way I unlocked it the first time

[naive jolt]

Ah

[wheat pumice]

Then after it didn't work I tried again in painted deck and other decks

[naive jolt]

Try to switch out and in profile ?

[steel nymph]

well we've gotten past 3m

[wheat pumice]

In between this time I have played on my second profile which I do seeded runs on and come back in, so I would have indirectly tried this too 😔

[spiral cairn]

how you have such less cards in deck

how to deck build

[wheat pumice]

hanged man

[modest stirrup]

early riff-raff is also so good

[clear socket]

it's another day on the pair machine

[vocal rose]

holy free win

[clear socket]

the game just handed me the brain rot pair build

lol

[warped moth]

A moment of silence for the late game build that never found its baron 😔

[clear socket]

baron waiting room feels bad

[ember turtle]

oh fuck

i got canio

can someone coach- i mean backseat- i mean guide me i want his gold sticker so bad

[clear socket]

pray that the game gives you hanged man or trading card or immolate then just find a scaling flat mult source and run to the bank

justice works too

[ember turtle]

hmm i started this run yesternight

[clear socket]

certificate can help with randomly generating purple seals and or face cards to help blow stuff up

ride the bus is a good hit if you find it

[warped moth]

Yea what teapho said. Find ways to get him to scale
If it is consistent, like trading card, you hit gold

[ember turtle]

good tips thank

[warped moth]

Card destruction stuff are your friend

[clear socket]

if you're desperate just pick up justice and hope the face cards break, it's a good middle ground since either they don't and you easily get enough score from the glass or they do and canio scales

[warped moth]

And try to prioritise adding more face cards in your deck

[ember turtle]

hmm what should i do now

1. sell all planets for interest, do a two pair and then sell lusty joker to not lose 3$
2. sell neptune, and keep lusty
   or other way

[ember turtle]

i actually did that in my white stake era and it worked quite well

[clear socket]

i hope localthunk adds something to completely skip the animation for leveling planets in the game without mods

[ember turtle]

full house was good, i'll play the 8 and then win with a two pair or something without lusty joker

[ember turtle]

that'd be great actually

even in 4x it takes too long

[clear socket]

it's like, fine normally, but when you're doing like 20 planets a shop it's incredibly time consuming

[ember turtle]

the 20$ hit!!! i knew playing that 8 was the right choice

[clear socket]

huge snowball

gl

[ember turtle]

8 ball is the best joker ever

lmaoooo

tarot generation can't be better than this

[clear socket]

nearly x10 constellation and level 32 pair on an ante 8 run

lol

[clear socket]

thats pretty good yeah especially because it is foil

[wheat pumice]

The game is now teasing me for this 😭

[clear socket]

find some generic flat mult and hope you get some card destruction and you're on your way to cruise into the mid game

[ember turtle]

it gave me hermit when i was on exactly 20$

fucking insane tarots

[ember turtle]

i got a perishable greedy, it's good for ante 2

[clear socket]

yeah that is reasonable, you'll probably find another mult solution by the time it dies

[cold forge]

I got it by playing painted deck

[deep rapids]

you might not be able to do it on painted deck

oh nvm

[pale grotto]

I got it by accident, without playing painted deck

Stencil goes brrr

[cold forge]

Hello fellow joker

[pale grotto]

Hiiiii

[cold forge]

Still thinking abt this run I lost because of that boss blind that mixes up your jokers

[ember turtle]

waowie

[pale grotto]

Acorn

[ember turtle]

got the multie

[pale wolf]

how

[cold forge]

The god damn acorn got me

[pale wolf]

it should only take one hand to figure out what your Jokers are when they're flipped over especially when you already know where one of them is because you hold it right after clicking the button and entering the boss blind

turn game speed down if it helps

[cold forge]

I play mobile and it didn't register when I tried holding a card

[pale wolf]

Even then

[cold forge]

Or at least most of what I post here is on mobile

[clear socket]

most of them you can play around but they get you when your mental defenses are down

[pale wolf]

i exclusively play mobile

[clear socket]

can you look me in the eyes and tell me you've never lost to the psychic before

[pale wolf]

not recently

[cold forge]

Stuff like this I did on pc

[reef barn]

I think I lost one time because I needed to blueprint Acrobat but I also had a HTR which I never triggered so it was a 50/50

[pale grotto]

How can i know balatro isnt going to explode my phone before purchising It?

[pale wolf]

it doesn't explode phones

[cold forge]

It barely uses resources

[pale grotto]

htr?

[reef barn]

Hit the road

[pale grotto]

Okay ty both

[pale grotto]

Ohh right

[pale wolf]

it chugs on some versions of iOS frame rate wise and there are a lot of cloud save/ achievement/ unlocks that bug out occasionally (never happened to me tho)

[nova junco]

Yeah I saw lol

[leaden turtle]

balatro does drain your battery pretty fast in my experience

[manic talon]

chat do i take it, its so funny

[cold forge]

197 fucking triboulets

[pale wolf]

I keep hearing that from people but it's not true for me

My battery drains the same as normal on balatro

[cold forge]

[pale wolf]

I think it might just be their phones going into some gaming mode that ups the processor speed

[clear socket]

do it

[cold forge]

Without retriggers?

[manic talon]

i have 3 bloodstones i dont need retriggers

[pale wolf]

uuuuh
yea 😄

[cold forge]

But listen

Retriggers make number go up more

monke brain like number go up

[pale wolf]

ok time to streak

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[manic talon]

i play to win

Ancient joker is just bloodstone but its 1 in 4 if you think about it

[cold forge]

Fair, carry on then

[manic talon]

finally back at 20+ goddamn that took too long

[ember turtle]

swashbuckler is much better than booty here right?

[ember turtle]

holy

[reef barn]

A 20 winstreak on gold stake is impressive
I can’t even do fucking blue stake on this stupid green deck

[manic talon]

yea, you can actually reroll for hung men with swash

[ember turtle]

yeah

[pale wolf]

2pair bloodstone????

who tf are you

[manic talon]

it was flush house

[pale wolf]

oh lol

[manic talon]

wanted to play a flush but i forgor

[pale wolf]

flush was prob 200m

[manic talon]

my flush was like lv.30

yea

god i hate secret hands, why are 2 of em flushes

[pale wolf]

burnt on checkered is so free

[manic talon]

just give me my normal flush

the seed had ante 2 head, ante 3 arm and ante 4 eye

its so funny

had to buy the mad joker because of head

[ember turtle]

justice fooled two of my queens and they exploded yay

[dense wraith]

omg where is scoring

[ember turtle]

canio is so awesome

[pale wolf]

I've had an idea to add even more secret hands/planets for a kaizo concept
not good ones

[ember turtle]

credit card in the buffoon pack:

don't actually look for the credit card..

[left juniper]

Kaizo Balatro. I'm listening

[manic talon]

theyre making up more flush hands

wtf man

[left juniper]

Until a kaizo block hits me outta nowhere and I lose the run

[pale wolf]

these would be secret hands that rank below flushes

[dense wraith]

found stickerless ride the bus so good enough

[reef barn]

What’s a straight flush house?

[rocky nest]

Thanks oops

[manic talon]

clearly, you didnt copy oops with blueprint, thats why it doesnt hit as much

[reef barn]

If you’re playing a winning hand there isn’t a reason to copy mailin for that hand right?

[rocky nest]

Yeah but like
I won

[reef barn]

Fair enough

[rocky nest]

Also

I forgot to change

[pale wolf]

i have no clue

lol

[reef barn]

What does this even mean

[pale wolf]

it feels AI generated

I'm checking the source now

[ember turtle]

should i go for charm tag 👀

12 tarot cards ...

[pale wolf]

still makes no sense, and this is from 2018 so not likely to be ai generated

[ember turtle]

my math is ded

[left juniper]

I need this in a mod form. I will say Nopelatro is currently kicking my ass which already feels like kaizo lol

[reef barn]

But
But that isn’t a straight, at all

Is 3344 a straight two pair???

[acoustic kettle]

Bornana farming

[pale grotto]

Its like 99 888 or 66 777 but no 99 777

[pale wolf]

oooh like the pair and 3oak have adjacent ranks

consecutive is a strange way of putting it

[pale wolf]

but I guess accurate

[acoustic kettle]

I got this egg ante 1 and haven't got a single temperance

[reef barn]

I don’t think Hook and Crimson heart should kill you
That doesn’t seem very fun or interesting to play around

[pale wolf]

this is useful

[ember turtle]

this is the first hung man i've seen this run 😭

[pale wolf]

it is kaizo after all, and I think there is some interesting counter play to heart

Hook also has hand size counterplay as well as holding hangman

also I imagined this with a life system because of how unforgiving it is

[reef barn]

Pillar is gonna be uh
Annoying lmao

[white zodiac]

most racist ante 1 boss

[pale wolf]

i dont think i would actually do the part where it says joker debuffs on crimson heart are not displayed

It's one or the other for that

[unreal iron]

why these hands dont even exist in traditional poker right

[simple jacinth]

square joker showed up in final shop to be like "why did you sell me for space"

nova/green/foil 8/foil space/poly riffraff

[pale wolf]

I think it would be a strict detriment to the game, make it harder/ more finicky to play the hand you want

[unreal iron]

dilluting celestial packs >:(

[pale wolf]

yea

[spiral cairn]

in game its flush house

[pale wolf]

although they would be secret hands so if you can avoid playing them then they wouldn't bloat the planets

[unreal iron]

i gotta do a flush house run ngl

how do i force flush house

[spiral cairn]

vro 62 pairs

[pale wolf]

The idea of there being secret hands that aren't at the top of the hand list is a very interesting concept to me

[stiff sparrow]

Tried asking this in the reddit but they weren't any help

[spiral cairn]

get dna and hanged man

find a seed with that

life will be much easier

[pale wolf]

whats up

[spiral cairn]

dna hang man perkeo

[floral mural]

asking what?

[wheat pumice]

I think it means like

♠️A ♠️K ♠️Q ❤️J ❤️ 10

[unreal iron]

something feasable???

erratic it is

[spiral cairn]

hanged man is good enough for deck fixin

[shadow mortar]

Ts is unseeded

[floral mural]

general deck fixing on checkered deck i guess

[reef barn]

A high card that consists of a 2 should be a low card 🔥

[spiral cairn]

dang give me the seed

[unreal iron]

hello

[pale wolf]

i think @pale grotto was right about them needing to be adjacent ranks for the pair and three of a kind

[spiral cairn]

tf

[stiff sparrow]

Sorry

[spiral cairn]

dang

[shadow mortar]

Gonna have to beat it first lol

[stiff sparrow]

It isnt laoding

Bad lag

[spiral cairn]

bruda

[unreal iron]

have you never seen erratic deck

[spiral cairn]

ante 4 error

[shadow mortar]

I said its unseeded lol

[spiral cairn]

i have but my luck is bad enough i did like 5 differnet runs and they had 5 faec cards

in the entire deck

[ember turtle]

this is so fucking beautiful

thank you 8ball

[spiral cairn]

no i said after the win

[ember turtle]

i love you 8ball

[spiral cairn]

give me seed

[unreal iron]

OWO

[spiral cairn]

my bad for bad wording

[wheat pumice]

Probably yeah. Either way its just stupid lol

[reef barn]

8 ball my beloved

[stiff sparrow]

Anyone know what this IS

[shadow mortar]

Kk

[spiral cairn]

pluh

[stiff sparrow]

Alright since the picture ain't loading

[pale wolf]

also your name is a little weird

[stiff sparrow]

Oj never mind

[stiff sparrow]

People keep saying it is a demo but it has no demo version text only the version numbers the same and if your wondering it comes from a steam glitch

[pale wolf]

going out of its way to show kkk

[wheat pumice]

Dark and Darkk where taken

[stiff sparrow]

I wanna know if this is a dev build or a private test or smth because it certainly ain't the demo

[floral mural]

ok the version number looks wrong

[pale wolf]

That's a server nickname nothing is taken

[spiral cairn]

how

[wheat pumice]

in my 5 years of using discord on this account you are the first person to mention that

you are rather wierd

projecting much

[stiff sparrow]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Updates it was an actual version number

[pale wolf]

You're accusing me of projecting what, me being a member of the KKK???

[stiff sparrow]

But the problem is all the demos havw demo version text on new game

This dossnt

[pale wolf]

I just think your name is odd, the same way I think names with 88 at the end of them are odd

[floral mural]

yes but thats not the updated version

[stiff sparrow]

And reddit kept shouting at me and saying yes its a demo

[pale grotto]

It wouldnt be a flush with 2 different sigyls

[stiff sparrow]

Wdym?

[stiff sparrow]

Now patched steam glitch

Let me grab some old versions of balatro

[unreal iron]

so is rental midas actually worth here

[spiral cairn]

can someone send a list of all of the unlockable jokers

im js gonn play on my laptop not phone

[pale grotto]

.

[stiff sparrow]

Most of the manifests are dead but it let me grab them via force with the .manifest and key

[spiral cairn]

unlockable like play a run without playing a flush

or that stuff

[pale wolf]

ok then keep the kkk i guess im the weirdo

[floral mural]

the version that should display is 1.0.1

[pale grotto]

Hi

Now im dark

[pale wolf]

hi darkk

[spiral cairn]

someone tell

[stiff sparrow]

This is an old versions

[wheat pumice]

that is indeed not a server nickname

[stiff sparrow]

I juat dont know what it exactly is

There dosent seem to be debug

[wheat pumice]

that is my default name that appears everywhere on discord

[stiff sparrow]

Its also fully unlocked like a regular build

[wheat pumice]

which in 5 years you are the first person to get upset about it

❄️

[reef barn]

Multiple people can have the same Display name

[pale wolf]

calling people snowflakes, yeah just identify yourself more

[stiff sparrow]

Reddit just kept shouting that its a demo and I couldn't figure it out
