I have died multiple times squaring up in Psychic

[lunar zealot]

like you

[fading cobalt]

I'm not dead yet

[lunar zealot]

Took a

shortc

shortcu

[fading cobalt]

Its like watching a baby try to say a big word for the first time

[sullen needle]

i wonder if campfire is lonely as the only $9 joker...

[pale wolf]

Not with editions

[wintry ice]

matador, burglar and space joker are fine as rentals

if it's early on you can just keep it for 1 round and play pairs for levels

[left juniper]

Egg and Gift Card being in different tiers even though Gift Card is actually better

[pale wolf]

rental gift card is okay too

[left juniper]

Also why would I want a rental Idol. I don't even want a normal idol

[pale wolf]

oh shit yeah Idol tier pretty much invalidates the entire list

How can I trust any of this

[wintry ice]

bbc 🔥

[violet bear]

Mods kill this user

[wintry ice]

tribe and baron are in that same tier

[white zodiac]

tribe

[north spindle]

popcorn is also imo one of the less bad rentals
theres no way it should be as low as it is on that list

[white zodiac]

judging on when you get the common hand scalers it should be lower in a new tier for early game econ stagnation

[wintry ice]

popcorn is only useful earlygame

and rentals suck there

[cursive lion]

that is true but not sure in the regular runs they are able to spawn with stickers

[north spindle]

if you pick it up for only 1-2 rounds it doesnt really hurt ur econ that much
i mean ud rather not but like. it will only be in your slots for 2-3 rounds usually anyways

like it is one shotting early blinds which helps make up for the price

[floral mural]

theyre not

same with wraith and judgement spawned jokers

[cursive lion]

rift raft too?

[pale wolf]

and riff Raff and top up tag

[stiff sparrow]

possible early jimbo sprite

found

[north spindle]

like if we want to talk abt awful rental jokers
rental golden joker is like comically bad

[cursive lion]

steven in orange is the new black

[floral mural]

its part of why riff raff is so good

[shadow mortar]

Wait what? So if i reroll twice in small blind, i will see the third reroll in big blind? I thought each shop had different rolls

[pale wolf]

It's ante based

[cursive lion]

its based off antes

[shadow mortar]

Bruh i am so dumb for realizing NOW

[pale wolf]

if you look up the order mod made for multiplayer balatro then it'll probably explain

[cursive lion]

i think when you go to the next shop you do get a new set of booster packs and goes to the next reroll

[north spindle]

in practice this doesnt matter unless you're playing seeded tho right

[cursive lion]

yeah

[ebon zephyr]

only one left

[left juniper]

Judgement jokers are ante based too right?

[ebon zephyr]

just got a win with mosaic thanks to my good old pal the trio

[left juniper]

I forget how the judgement and wraith choices work

[pale wolf]

it matters if you're competing against somebody and negates risk of rolling down in the last shop just in case there is something good

[white zodiac]

multiplayer

[balmy ridge]

errm do i take the eternal sixth?

7 6s in deck

[cursive lion]

its a spawn card thingy atleast smods implementation same with the consumables

[pale wolf]

It's not necessarily multiplayer only, if you're playing against a friend with vanilla games it's relevant as well

[balmy ridge]

wait.... 6.... 7?

[sullen apex]

they have their own queue's per-ante

[north spindle]

i mean this is still in the category of "seeded" then

[cursive lion]

thats why you get jimbo if you run out

[balmy ridge]

but also it was a serious question

[sullen apex]

if you use blueprint seed searcher you can see how the queues work

[wintry ice]

i think everything in the shop is a queue per ante

[balmy ridge]

uurrm herro

[simple jacinth]

I'm a queue per ante

[left juniper]

I'll have to check it out

[sullen apex]

whoever mentioned the order that operates differently

[wintry ice]

3x mult if you play a straight

[cursive lion]

i'm a queer per ante

[pale wolf]

I mentioned it because looking up a video about it will tell you how the original game works and why the order is different

[fading cobalt]

Genuinely how do I pivot into a winnable hand when I get the plant at ante 5 💔

[sullen apex]

glass cards, retriggers, high level hands

[pale wolf]

depends on the build

[wintry ice]

japanese name person where do you get these emotes from

[stiff sparrow]

vouchers in the beta

[pale wolf]

if it's photo chad then you just have glass
other Jokers are pretty much dead in the water and you need to find alternative scoring entirely

[wintry ice]

the trusty glass card

[white zodiac]

discord

some local servers I'm in

[balmy ridge]

hi

[white zodiac]

[stiff sparrow]

all jokers in the beta

tell me if you see anything cool

[fading cobalt]

Scary smiley chad with hologram and red card

[balmy ridge]

NO i won't

[stiff sparrow]

oooh

[simple jacinth]

the bottom left one!

[stiff sparrow]

so this build still has thosec cut ones

[simple jacinth]

it's Mervin Mult

[pale wolf]

I would grab some glass and hope

[stiff sparrow]

?

[balmy ridge]

hi can someone please give me an answer juts yes or no is fine

[wintry ice]

smiley scary doesn't have much lategame potential anyways

so

[manic talon]

why arrowhead lookin like that

[fading cobalt]

I accidentally got a flush house of aces and 10s I think I got this

[left juniper]

I wouldn't personally

[balmy ridge]

with 7 6s though?

[simple jacinth]

istg if Mervin Mult isn't in the not-2025 update I'm going to discard my royal flush

[sullen apex]

what about with 6...7s

[balmy ridge]

i already said that

[manic talon]

@ mods

[white zodiac]

Murphy no

[fading cobalt]

Discombobulate this man

[balmy ridge]

did u guy know its national wombat day

today

i like wombats

[fading cobalt]

My mums nickname for me was wombat

:D

[wintry ice]

lowering seal into lava gif

[balmy ridge]

what did she mean by this

bottom text

[acoustic kettle]

Ban

[fading cobalt]

she said when I was baby I would sleep like a wombat and that I was very clingy

[pale wolf]

It's a total drama Island reference

[fading cobalt]

No its not lol

[pale wolf]

Yes it is

[wintry ice]

that's totally dramatic

[sullen apex]

im starting all my videos with 6 7 meme to help relate better to the upcoming generations

[fading cobalt]

Well I didnt intend it to

Wait

I'm confused now

[balmy ridge]

oh i watched that show when i was 6 or 7

[acoustic kettle]

Unsubscribing rq

[pale wolf]

say seven six for engagement

[acoustic kettle]

💔

[white zodiac]

unsubscribed

[wintry ice]

death of the author theory

[floral mural]

i watched that show when i was like 10 maybe

[white zodiac]

[manic talon]

this is why i watch sealabtv instead

[cursive lion]

i heard from an anonymous source that someone was using photochad... not cool guys, not cool

[north spindle]

seven six? more like seventy four

[sullen apex]

i can just put 6 7 on the screen ill do it rn

[white zodiac]

it's all over the screen

[manic talon]

WAITWAITWAIT

[pale wolf]

I just imagined six seven in impact font and it hurt my brain

[simple jacinth]

6ALA7RO

[sullen apex]

new mod idea just dropped

change all numbers in balatro to 6 or 7

[acoustic kettle]

Gonna run this seed

[balmy ridge]

hahaasaaahha

[cursive lion]

6.7

[simple jacinth]

getting nostalgic for chill chat rn

[wintry ice]

84147r0

[pale wolf]

One of the points in my kaizo balatro concept is sixth sense strengthing 6s into 7s instead of destroying them

[left juniper]

Oh shit we bringing back 1337 speak

[white zodiac]

nothing has changed

[sullen apex]

trash seed

[wintry ice]

what happened in 1337

[pale wolf]

L9

[manic talon]

true, shouldve come ante 1

[white zodiac]

789

[cursive lion]

intergalatic square

[acoustic kettle]

Fym cloud 9 is good💔

[wintry ice]

sqaure

[robust lance]

Cloud 9 is radical even

[pale wolf]

I assumed joking

[sullen apex]

[balmy ridge]

what is this? some sort of seed checker thingy?

[sullen apex]

blueprint

[white zodiac]

I don't think there will be a 7 themed joker knowing what's inevitable

[balmy ridge]

i watched roffle play a mod that has hatsune joku which is like cloud 9 but for 7s

[sullen apex]

neato jokers

[balmy ridge]

forgot mod name

[pale wolf]

and threes

[manic talon]

new balatro update will revert seeing double to only work if you have 7 of clubs

[balmy ridge]

whats it called

[manic talon]

source: dreams

[north spindle]

i mean i could see like
prime joker

[sullen apex]

i just said, blueprint

[north spindle]

as a 7 synergy

[wintry ice]

fib for chips (original idea)

[white zodiac]

todd if he was quirky

[wintry ice]

aces are 2 primes

because they're 11 and 1

[north spindle]

1 isnt a prime number

[pale wolf]

guys I'm imagining a mod where you can combine Jokers and fibonacci+ramen is fibognocchi

[manic talon]

1 is a fake prime

[acoustic kettle]

Never cook again

[sullen apex]

there is a fusion jokers mod

[wintry ice]

true

[left juniper]

Speaking of maths. 51 can be divided by 17 but it just looks so wrong at a glance

[pale wolf]

but does it have fibognocci

[sullen apex]

good question

[floral mural]

combine obelisk and supernova and what would the effect be

[sullen apex]

legendary god joker

[left juniper]

It'd be that pillar/monolith from Space Odyssey

[pale wolf]

supermodel
now you can only play your most played hand and it keeps scaling

🤪

[manic talon]

they should combine half joker and square joker

[cursive lion]

hell yeah

[sullen apex]

playing anything other than your most played hand resets

[manic talon]

close enough, welcome back jimball

[white zodiac]

quasar

[pale wolf]

The most winmore Joker of all time

[floral mural]

i can think of one for business card and ride the bus oddly enough called something like bus toll

[pale wolf]

First class seating

or business class

I guess that makes more sense

[robust lance]

An actual supernova (it explode and crashes your game)

[sullen apex]

chauffer

[wintry ice]

green joker rebate

[acoustic kettle]

i'm so washed

[heavy heron]

what are your guys’ most grabbed vouchers in stats

[left juniper]

Faceless + Pareidolia = Prosopagnosia

[heavy heron]

go again, you got this

[wintry ice]

grabber

[heavy heron]

yup

[left juniper]

I will await the mod creator to credit me with my genius idea. No face cards for anyone

[floral mural]

grabber and overstock

[wintry ice]

grabber, overstock, wasteful, reroll, paintbrush

[acoustic kettle]

rtb pareidolia fusion

[cursive lion]

the plant is dead

[heavy heron]

wow we all be grabbing grabber

[pale wolf]

I can't check immediately but it should be grabber or overstock

[acoustic kettle]

my most grabbed is

wasteful

[balmy ridge]

rental trading card pays itself off

[floral mural]

grabber is just so good

[heavy heron]

it’s funny like for me i don’t actually need the extra hand from grabber, i just need the extra discard i get from it

[cursive lion]

for me it looks like to be paintbrush and telescope

[fading cobalt]

Immaculate hand tbh

[heavy heron]

telescope is cool

[wintry ice]

weird for overstock and brush to not be taken at all

[acoustic kettle]

omg baron in my top 10 used jokers

it's so over

[pale wolf]

pretty close ties

[heavy heron]

paint brush

[manic talon]

+handsize my beloved

[left juniper]

Why are my numbers so high compared to everyone wtf. I only play a little

[heavy heron]

for a pair man you’re a paintbrusher?

well like

[dusty oxide]

i might like photochad a little bit

[shell dagger]

checks out on checkered deck

[heavy heron]

a lot of the times i skip vouchers

[left juniper]

oh good someone with more

[heavy heron]

either too broke or not worth it

[pale wolf]

hand size is great for pairs, the effective increased hand size is one of the best parts of pair already

[white zodiac]

I'm on my 5th profile so stats are a little off

[floral mural]

more gold card space

[wintry ice]

more blue seal value

[left juniper]

naneinf attempts ruined my joker and consumable stats

[heavy heron]

i was thinking steel

for a person who loves steel my flushes do disappoint me

only 3 spaces for steel..

[floral mural]

the only time youd want less hand size is blackboard

[manic talon]

800 hours (dont mind them theyre just in love)

[shell dagger]

mine

[heavy heron]

yeaaaa

[dusty oxide]

is that even steven and odd todd

[manic talon]

yes

[pale wolf]

and raised fist

[left juniper]

I got some work to do

[heavy heron]

and baron

[pale wolf]

no?

[heavy heron]

LOOFLGJEOGO

should i start using tone tags

[wintry ice]

is this how the odd steven keychain was made

[shell dagger]

grabber? i hardly knower

[balmy ridge]

this is beautiful

[left juniper]

Banana my beloved. I gotta get it to number 1

[heavy heron]

and shoot the moon

[manic talon]

perchance

[heavy heron]

see like

[white zodiac]

what no

[heavy heron]

i don’t know how everybody always has #1 joker as blueprint, do you guys just keep going endless

[heavy heron]

wdym i love no hand size shoot the moon

same with baron

[wintry ice]

i have chad as my most used

[left juniper]

naneinf attempts 😬

[wintry ice]

that or rebate

[white zodiac]

well

[shell dagger]

endless skews it because you play more rounds and have copies of blueprint

[heavy heron]

see i like that

i’m not that much of a believer in it but i like that

[left juniper]

Don't let reddit see this

[shell dagger]

square joker my beloved

[cursive lion]

square joker and runner lowkey solid commons

[sullen apex]

my jokers are skewed from when i first started playing because i played on another profile for hundreds of hours and only recently started doing C++ grind on the main

[white zodiac]

im well enough at the game to be able to pull this off while not pulling my hair out

[shell dagger]

a profile skewed towards c++ (blueprint is still too high)

[heavy heron]

i mean shoot the moon is good

it makes sense

[sullen apex]

other better jokers are creeping up in line

[white zodiac]

imagine I send reddit my black++ profile when I finish it

[balmy ridge]

does stone ruin blackboard? probably not

[shell dagger]

i think it does

[heavy heron]

it does

[white zodiac]

yes

[cyan salmon]

if stone in hand blackboard is disabled

[heavy heron]

despite saying “no suit”

[balmy ridge]

what the flipping flip flipping crap

excuse my language

[shell dagger]

excused

[white zodiac]

blackboard checks if you have anything other than black suits

[heavy heron]

did you know raised fist works with stone

i love lying god

[latent egret]

no suit =/= club spade

[pale wolf]

what do you mean despite, everything works exactly as worded

[left juniper]

I learnt the hard way but a stone card has no suit. Therefore it is NOT a Spade or Club

[heavy heron]

true

[robust lance]

What the fuck bro

[cyan salmon]

how much does it add

[balmy ridge]

real? what value does it give

[heavy heron]

NO IM JOKING

IM SORRY

I WAS LYING

LOOLFGJFOGO

IT DOESNT

i wish it did

[balmy ridge]

wooow ok

[cyan salmon]

didn't read the line below

[balmy ridge]

lies and deceit

[heavy heron]

MY BAD

[balmy ridge]

i'm the fool after all

[heavy heron]

100 mult easy

[cyan salmon]

[robust lance]

Should have said it more subtly like “I lied” immediately after
I like doing that cause I’m annoying

[balmy ridge]

what

[pale wolf]

raised fist implies stone cards are rank 0 🙂

[shell dagger]

doesn’t it count the lowest non-stone card

[heavy heron]

you’re right

[shell dagger]

for fist

[manic talon]

most unhinged stat i got

[left juniper]

If you read all jokers carefully they are quite clear

[cyan salmon]

you can use fool for previous card again

[heavy heron]

raised fist should work based on chips and not rank

[pale wolf]

not all

[cyan salmon]

no other means

[dusty oxide]

flushes CAN NOT be this good

[pale wolf]

several have unmentioned caveats

[robust lance]

And 0x2=99quintillion

[balmy ridge]

what mods gives the color theme

[shell dagger]

hiker meta

[left juniper]

You coming into chat and telling people to play checkered makes SOOOO much more sense now holy moly

[manic talon]

the trance mod

[balmy ridge]

awesome possum

[manic talon]

it is on checkered deck

[pale wolf]

the fuck

[left juniper]

Tell me which. I wanna learn

[heavy heron]

that’s what i’m sayingggg

[wintry ice]

checkered player

[heavy heron]

nope

[acoustic kettle]

oh man i'm really washed

[robust lance]

When did autocorrect complete equations

[heavy heron]

i hate checkered

not a chance

[shell dagger]

a few ios updates ago, it’s so fucking annoying

[cyan salmon]

too few money with negative bull

[wintry ice]

uh huh

i have 3k mercuries used

[shell dagger]

i turned mine off

[robust lance]

I should just switch phones

[heavy heron]

wait what??

NO WAY

bro that’s crazy

[pale wolf]

ride the bus and obelisk dont mention resetting, You have to find that out through it happening
mr bones doesnt save you from decking out (running out of cards instead of hands)
ecto and ouija Don't tell you that the penalty scales for every time you use them
illusion doesnt make seals even though it says it does
and obviously Matador

[manic talon]

At this point my goal is to get 50+ streak on gold stake checkered

[robust lance]

Could you add ++ after the c in cool in your nickname

[heavy heron]

i would but

it’s too long

[dusty oxide]

is this a good seed guys

[heavy heron]

or do you mean like

c++l

[manic talon]

Its what i do

[balmy ridge]

what if you.. swapped the 4 for a 6....

[shell dagger]

yeaj

[robust lance]

Runs dead

[heavy heron]

what 6

[balmy ridge]

@manic talon i downloaded trance mod i can't see my ante

how do not

[manic talon]

Im like espav if hes also washed and on checkered instead of the better yellow deck

[pale wolf]

what the fuck did you do

[fading dome]

1. ride the bus and obelisk are implied
2. true and possibly a bug?
3. big true
4. bugged imo
5. matador sucks, all my homies hate going to the wiki for matador

[dusty oxide]

i need photgraph

[heavy heron]

i found that yellow deck made the game much easier

so i stopped

but it’s fun

[left juniper]

Isn't Illusion just a bug because it used to? Also Ecto does say -2 the next time 😬 so reading is important (but I understand you said caveats)
Matador is a big yikes. Mr Bones - Good point!

[clear socket]

what do you mean you clearly need 2 more hanging chads

[wintry ice]

did you change your font

[balmy ridge]

idk

[robust lance]

Yeah just get a lucky card

[shell dagger]

the first ecto doesn’t make it clear what the second ecto does

[robust lance]

Just one though

[balmy ridge]

oh ok its fine with default font but i cant use any fonts i guess? sucks

[manic talon]

Uhhh.... idk, font size? Otherwise ask people in moddingchat who knew better

[left juniper]

Yeah I was just saying what I said was true. Reading the card is important. But @pale wolf mentioned caveats so their point was true too

[shell dagger]

reading is hard i thibk

[left juniper]

I would never

[heavy heron]

illusion doesn’t make seals??

that’s insane

[white zodiac]

no

[heavy heron]

false advertising

[balmy ridge]

yeah im deleting this mod its too much

[pseudo tide]

Hey guys, how do I download mods for balatro on android without losing my save

[shell dagger]

#⚙・modding-general

[balmy ridge]

can you even get mods on mobile?

also hold on

[heavy heron]

and guys dice description is wrong it says it doubles probabilities but my lucky cards money don’t go from 1 in 15 —> 1 in 30

[shadow mortar]

I love finding out that the seed i am on my way to get naneinf has its first ecto on ante 49

[heavy heron]

🙄

[pseudo tide]

That's basically my question

[balmy ridge]

they brought out balatro on android? when?

[pseudo tide]

I think a while ago

[pseudo tide]

It's on paid play store

[river slate]

lukiest reroll ever

[manic talon]

24th of september 2024

[acoustic kettle]

what the hell i was only playing this for shits and giggles

[pale wolf]

You might assume that the -2 is including the first penalty

[heavy heron]

nobody is entertaining this i’m sad

[manic talon]

Last year

[pseudo tide]

Yeah just read that

[pale wolf]

completely reasonably, even, I feel like the penalty does not need to scale

[pseudo tide]

Do the mods on the server work for android?

[left juniper]

True

[heavy heron]

for ectos?

[pale wolf]

for either

[pale wolf]

no

#📜・modding-rules

[heavy heron]

wdym, ouija is broken

it’d be too OP

[pale wolf]

trolling

[shadow mortar]

Honestly ouija is the most useless card. Change my mind

[pale wolf]

dont engage

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

[left juniper]

I didn’t even know ouija scaled tbh

[heavy heron]

right me neither

[shadow mortar]

I have never used ouija

[heavy heron]

what maniac uses more than 1 ouija in a run

[shadow mortar]

Never

[pseudo tide]

Jesus, now that's definitely one hell of a lock

[dusty oxide]

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES

NEGATIVE PHOTOGRAPH

[manic talon]

Isnt the ecto -handsize description doesnt update if youre on a different language than english? Did they fix that?

[stiff fjord]

i am never running this deck again

[heavy heron]

crazy

[dusty oxide]

what order should i use them

[pale wolf]

theres a method for naneinf that involves many incantations into ouija for king

[fading dome]

ouija doesn't scale

[pale wolf]

wut

[heavy heron]

all that effort for a 12/13 to lose

[fading dome]

I'm pretty sure it doesnt?

hold on let me check

[manic talon]

Luigi doesnt scale yea

[left juniper]

I dunno who to trust anymore

[pale wolf]

WHAT?

[pale wolf]

you would have many ouija

[left juniper]

Hard to trust Lars though considering the mental pain they’ve put me through

[pale wolf]

to guarantee you get kings

[heavy heron]

i see

still, 1/13 in every ouija

but like

[fading dome]

based and true

[heavy heron]

so you hit naneinf then die?

is the plan?

-10000 hand size

[acoustic kettle]

so uhh cryptid seed has bp bs baron early

might be a naneinf seed

[stark karma]

Getting a common negative from a negative skip, the chances are no noteworthy

[manic talon]

ok yea it doesnt scale, got me worried i was spreading misinformation, on the internet even

[heavy heron]

the funny thing is like my stats say i abuse photochad but they’re just commons and i never go endless

[fading dome]

ouija is hardcoded to change handsize by -1 while ecto's change is a variable

[pale wolf]

whaaaaaat

[heavy heron]

i either find one or the other

[pale wolf]

im astounded

i had like tangible memories of ouija scaling

[heavy heron]

AHHH WHOS TROLLING NOW

[left juniper]

SMH my head maybe read the card next time smh

[fading dome]

@pale wolf when he spreads misinformation:

[white zodiac]

the ecto effect

[heavy heron]

and bro is always talking about misinformation

🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

[wintry ice]

i feel like i should take photo slightly more if my run has no direction

[pale wolf]

i mean i thought i had firsthand experience

[heavy heron]

just say you love misinformation, it’s okay

i knew i wasn’t the only troll here

smh

[white zodiac]

i willingly misinform people in the hopes of someone else to step in and put more effort to correct me

[balmy ridge]

take sock?

[manic talon]

WDYM THEY HAVENT FIXED THE ECTOPLASM LOCALIZATION BUG

[pale wolf]

egad

[heavy heron]

dude i found a sock and a baron i literally just win now

[acoustic kettle]

this seed crazy

[left juniper]

Yeah because it’ll give more chips. The run looks doomed

[manic talon]

PLEASE GIVE ME BUGFIX UPDATE

[wintry ice]

sock doesn't baron

[heavy heron]

it actually does

in my imagination

[pale wolf]

this is why i need desktop balatro

[balmy ridge]

why doomed :c what do i swap for sock

[wintry ice]

sock and buskin more like socks balls

[fading dome]

localthunk pls fix or remove the Illusion voucher

[heavy heron]

sock is great

[balmy ridge]

wish someone would sock my buskin on the lowks

[fading dome]

wrong quote shit

[brave goblet]

Playing it straight

[shadow mortar]

All ecto should cost a fixed 2 handsize

[heavy heron]

you get to see the plant retrigger debuffs over and over

[heavy heron]

nice

[acoustic kettle]

also a brainstorm in ante 5 but i don't think a showman exists

[fading dome]

-2 handsize for the first ecto is insane

[left juniper]

Trading card? How desperate are you for score?

[pale wolf]

i had the idea to fix illusion, and combine it with magic trick for the first tier
and then do something else with the second tier bc gosh

[balmy ridge]

not very

[shadow mortar]

But ecto is pretty good, and -2 handsize for 3rd ecto is good

[manic talon]

i think ecto should just not allow you to pick it more than once 🙂

[heavy heron]

guys you make it sound like illusion and magic trick only serves the purpose of scaling 1 single joker

like what

[dusty oxide]

i got another photograph

[pale wolf]

who in the world is taking 3 ectos
also thats the same amount of hand size reduction

over 3 ectos

[manic talon]

nah, it also scales blue joker

[shadow mortar]

You are allowed to take 4 ectos tho

[heavy heron]

YOURE RIGHT

YOURE SO RIGHT

see you caught me

you caught me

[fading dome]

taking 2 or less ectos is worse with your suggestion, and you'd need to take 4 ectos for your suggestion to be an improvement 😭

[heavy heron]

but jokes on you, that’s the only joker i was referring to

[pale wolf]

just in case i needed 9 jokers to beat amber acorn

[left juniper]

Magic trick helps scale Erosion too

[white zodiac]

c9

[heavy heron]

what’s c9 mean

[pale wolf]

cloud

[heavy heron]

oooo

[white zodiac]

nine

[heavy heron]

you’re right lemme grab magic trick just to find 9s

deaths? disgusting

[left juniper]

It’s when your team wins the fight but doesn’t cap the point

[pale wolf]

I don't think the rank Jokers are enough reason to get magic trick lol

[manic talon]

balatrodle "Ramen is scaling" lookin ass reasoning

[white zodiac]

no lol

[fading dome]

was about to quote that

[pale wolf]

it is

[heavy heron]

🤪

[pale wolf]

negative scaling is scaling

[heavy heron]

that’s why i love illusion + erosion

[balmy ridge]

@left juniper you were right run is doomed

[heavy heron]

i love how nothing i say contributes to anything it’s so funny

[left juniper]

Fellow person of culture

[left juniper]

Mods can we pin this? I’m never right

[heavy heron]

i’ll ping them for you

[balmy ridge]

i didn't say you were never right

i've hardly even interacted with you

[left juniper]

No im saying I’m never right. This is rare

[balmy ridge]

oh

ok

[manic talon]

Mods can you @everyone again, i wanna feel something

[heavy heron]

i’m always right

[pale wolf]

todays balatrodle in 3
||that first bloodstone guess gave me nothing and a lot of info simultaneously||

[pale wolf]

they actually don't have the permission to anymore, it's the same as us doing it

[heavy heron]

i’ve never played balatrodle what is it

[balmy ridge]

woah balatrodle?

[left juniper]

Sorry for confusion

[pale wolf]

only server admins now

[manic talon]

LITERALLY 1984

[unreal iron]

the discard boys

[heavy heron]

now all you need is grimbo

[pale wolf]

balatrodle.com

[balmy ridge]

the best legendary

[heavy heron]

and ramen

[unreal iron]

ermmmm i won bro

[robust lance]

Hit the road carry

[unreal iron]

honestly hard castle carry

[manic talon]

Wordle but for balatro, also evil

[unreal iron]

and purple seals

[heavy heron]

well you want jokers that scale with discards so might as well grab ramen

[fading dome]

thank GOD, can't believe it took multiple mods accidentally using it for them to change it

[unreal iron]

they gave me SO MANY SUNS

[unreal iron]

LOOK AT THIS

[heavy heron]

bro is lusty

[pale wolf]

lol i think it was fun

[quartz ember]

2nd guess was clutch af

[heavy heron]

it’s the website but what do you do on it

[left juniper]

I wasn’t even here for the eggcident

[heavy heron]

it’s wordle i heard but like what hints do they give you

[manic talon]

Its never not funny to see it happens

[fading dome]

it's fun for like the first 10 minutes, but for the next 12 hours after the ping people come in with "who pinged me" 😭

[quartz ember]

you guess what joker is "featured" today

[heavy heron]

what hints?

or do you just raw dog it

1/150

[fading dome]

Rarity, price, effect, scaling, randomness. Effect and scaling categories are debateable

[heavy heron]

fascinating

[manic talon]

Rarity, cost, etc, Easier to just try it

[quartz ember]

try it out

[pale wolf]

||technically I should have guessed credit card because that would have told me that it's $5, but splash was clutch with the category effect||

[left juniper]

I watched it in real time 😬

[pale wolf]

maybe if you go to the website you can find out more information?

[quartz ember]

also i'm pretty sure there is an explanation on the page

[pale wolf]

😭

[heavy heron]

true but like i ain’t doing allat

when i can ask you

yknow

[pale wolf]

I'm just going to make fun of you for not looking yourself

so that's not productive

[heavy heron]

i know you love my company

it’s okay

it’s hard to admit

[left juniper]

Trolling so hard right now. Read the room and the about page

[heavy heron]

nah i mean 2 ppl explained it already

so that was nice

i should try it but someone spoiled today’s balatrodle already

so maybe tomorrow

[pale wolf]

they need to make a burner lgbt account and ping @everyone on it twice a year to clear out transphobes

[quartz ember]

surely not

[heavy heron]

wasn’t it splash?

or something like that?

[fading dome]

true but like i ain’t doing allat
when i can ask you
I feel like this is why people get hurt following the instructions of hallucinating text-generating machines

[robust lance]

Truuueeeeee

[heavy heron]

what the HELL IS THAT

[robust lance]

(Half the server gone)

[pale wolf]

nobody spoiled it, unless you spoiled the image for yourself

[heavy heron]

hallucinating text generating machines?

[left juniper]

It worked but wow was it sad and depressing reading some of those messages

[heavy heron]

i saw you talking about credit card and splash so i thought it was that

[pale wolf]

That was also under a spoiler text

[heavy heron]

oh that makes sense

[fading dome]

LLMs

[cyan salmon]

now you spoiled

[quartz ember]

its not anymore tho xD

[cyan salmon]

[heavy heron]

i have no idea what that is

[fading dome]

chatGPT

[robust lance]

Large Language Model(s)
I think

[heavy heron]

oh

[pale wolf]

large language models, like bilingual bbws

[heavy heron]

the only language i speak is balatro

[fading dome]

lmfao

+2

[robust lance]

Not large enough

[left juniper]

The everyone ping gave us that great copy pasta which I’m trying to find

[pale wolf]

oh who was jt

turtlestomper88 or whatever

[white zodiac]

im sorry who

[shell dagger]

Chat jippity

[robust lance]

Mario?

[fading dome]

hippity hoppity this text is now my hallucinated property

[acoustic kettle]

the cryptid seed is crazy 5 brainstorms in 4 antes

[shell dagger]

Luckily prompting anything balatro to chatgpt still churns out rubbish

[fading dome]

which everyone ping? the second by Juice?

[pale wolf]

frogphart420

[left juniper]

Yep! I’m digging for it on my phone instead of sleeping

[left juniper]

THERE IT IS

[pale wolf]

turtlestomper88 was hilariously close

[shell dagger]

Mario was frog man in Mario bros 3

Close enough

[pale wolf]

and in super Mario Maker 2

[shell dagger]

And odyssey I guess, although that’s likely a reference

[north spindle]

tbf this is true for basically everything

[left juniper]

Shoutouts to my goat carlsagan42

[pale wolf]

he was the original frogtown420

[heavy heron]

the only time i ever went endless was when i found a trib

[left juniper]

List of things Carl has learnt:

[heavy heron]

yes im copying non optimally but i knew i was dead anyway because when i did copy optimally the previous ante it was not e37

wait or maybe i’m not?

i think i am

[pale wolf]

looks optimal

[balmy ridge]

dude fuck my chungus life

[heavy heron]

red seal, sock, dusk, copying sock

chad

4 (technically 5) retriggers

trib, trib, trib, glass

4 scoring

[left juniper]

Copying was correct

[heavy heron]

so it prob didn’t matter

[heavy heron]

this is awesome

[pale wolf]

I didn't think anybody would ever mention frogtown again

[left juniper]

I guess technically it was 4.3ish triggers so even more balanced

[pale wolf]

his legacy lives on

[left juniper]

I’ll never forget

[heavy heron]

and 1 glass missing

so technically .2 less scoring

[lapis sierra]

Bro i was playing a run with a challenge I gave myself ("You must, always, skip Big/Small Blinds") and I lost at Ante 8 🥀

Violet Vessel

[left juniper]

As you said. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, the run had just reached its end

[north spindle]

rng challenge

[heavy heron]

yea true

[lapis sierra]

fr

[north spindle]

what deck/stake?

[heavy heron]

that’s a rough challenge

[lapis sierra]

red deck,white.

[heavy heron]

but that’s kinda like what it’s like unlocking mary andy

[acoustic kettle]

holy fuck i'm trying to find a balatro screenshot and got lost

i hvae

[heavy heron]

can only play 4 blinds that aren’t boss

[acoustic kettle]

10k screenshots

[prisma oxide]

I feel like anything can win low stakes

[balmy ridge]

best voucher? i think overstock

[heavy heron]

honestly i have no idea how more ppl didn’t ask how to unlock mary andy dude that was such a struggle

[fading cobalt]

Riff raff gave me buskin and chad but refused to give me photocard 💔

[heavy heron]

i found the trick i mean it was just plasma LOOLLL but

12 rounds is crazy low

[acoustic kettle]

white plasma is so free

[fading cobalt]

Mary andy?

[north spindle]

merry andy is like
wayyy easier than 8 rounds

[heavy heron]

yes

merry

my bad

[fading cobalt]

Whats that joker do

[fading dome]

it's also an achievement, which might help people "accidentally" unlock it?

[left juniper]

Zeba when spreading misinformation

[heavy heron]

gives you 3 extra discards, takes away 1 hand size

[lapis sierra]

merry andy? I hardly know her!

[north spindle]

iirc i got merry andy by accident pretty early on by getting throwback round 1 and proceeding to just skip everything

[fading cobalt]

What?

[heavy heron]

the thing with andy is that it gives you the illusion of helping you find your cards but the truth is that the -1 hand size implies that if you find some cards you need to keep early, your next discards will be laughably ineffective

[left juniper]

Riff Raff can’t give Sock and Buskin

[north spindle]

is it the optimal strategy? no but it was like the 5th round i ever played or something

[heavy heron]

i found 4 of 5 cards i need, 7 hand size so i can only discard 3 cards at a time

merry andy is not that good

[north spindle]

merry andy is only passable sometimes

[fading cobalt]

Oh I must've gotten it from shop and thought it was from riff raff

Its uncommon right?

Yeah thats my fault

[left juniper]

Yeah

[north spindle]

-hand size just is kind of atrocious is the problem

[acoustic kettle]

So free

[heavy heron]

gold stake used to be that, can you believe that

-1 hand size

that sounds impossible

[fading cobalt]

It should've been -1 hand +3 discards kind of like that joker that gives +3 hands -all discards

[fading dome]

it sucked but was beatable

[left juniper]

PhotoChad from riff raff next time for sure just to cheer you up

[heavy heron]

well…. then that sounds too strong

5+ discards? at the cost of only 1 hand?

[north spindle]

ok if it was that it would be kind of nuts i think

[heavy heron]

if it was

-2 hands

[fading cobalt]

Yeah but less hands means less scoring

[heavy heron]

then it sounds better

[heavy heron]

unless you just go 1 big hand to win

[acoustic kettle]

+3 discards though

[fading cobalt]

Its op but I think the cost is still decent

[heavy heron]

which is 99% of the case for us non pair spammers

[acoustic kettle]

that's massive

[fading cobalt]

True

[left juniper]

Less hands means less money which is why Black Deck is brutal

[heavy heron]

black deck is brutal because it’s less money AND less card digging

[acoustic kettle]

i fucking hate black deck

[shell dagger]

i like merry andy

[white zodiac]

less room to farm

same

[shell dagger]

let’s me find my blue sealz

[ivory harbor]

HHI GUYS I NEED HELP WHAT DO I SELL FOR BLUEPRIN T HELP MERHELP

[heavy heron]

black deck sucks for pair spammers because less pairs, and for non pair spammers it sucks because you can’t dig for the cards you need

it sucks for everybody

[north spindle]

black deck starting with -1 hand is why its bad
if it, say, gave you the joker slot and -1 hand on ante 5 start, it would be pretty nice

[acoustic kettle]

the econ is so shot

[left juniper]

Fortune teller

[wintry ice]

dna

[acoustic kettle]

poverty simulator

[shell dagger]

fortune teller

[wintry ice]

if you have nothing to copy with it

[fading cobalt]

If you guys are in early antes and get a planet pack with flush or pair which one do you guys grab

[acoustic kettle]

pair

[wintry ice]

or fortune teller since you wanna go all xmult this late

[shell dagger]

depends

[left juniper]

Flush because I’m stupid

[ivory harbor]

Why fortuna teller it has 36 mult

[acoustic kettle]

rn flushes tho

[heavy heron]

flush

[white zodiac]

depends on other circumstances

[shell dagger]

the actual answer is that i probably wouldn’t open a planet pack

[heavy heron]

without a doubt

[acoustic kettle]

i'm sick of pair runs

honestly

[fading cobalt]

Pairs are overrated ngl

[wintry ice]

mercury

[heavy heron]

now lemme attach a random video of my level 30 flush to show how strong they are (i’m joking)

no but i do love flushes

unconditionally

[left juniper]

Because x3 on whatever hand you’re playing is probably better than 36

[heavy heron]

so always jupiter

[wintry ice]

flushes are good for the first two antes

[shell dagger]

it’s ante 11, that’s nothing

[wintry ice]

falls off as soon as you get scaling mult

[acoustic kettle]

well they're fairly rated because it's the most consistent strat ever

[heavy heron]

everybody trashes on flushes but what’s the first hand you do on small blind ante 1? 🙄

[wintry ice]

straight

[shell dagger]

2 pair (plasma main)

[white zodiac]

fh

[fading cobalt]

Queen to 8 straight

[heavy heron]

CRAZY

[ivory harbor]

Ok thank guys i loveyo us 🙏🙏🙏

[white zodiac]

on abandoned

[heavy heron]

NAHHHHH

[north spindle]

buying a planet pack early is like a "i have not seen any scoring" move

[heavy heron]

oh fair

[hearty kite]

Full house 🤑

[acoustic kettle]

i'm going back to my old roots of playing fh / flushes

[heavy heron]

uh huh

[left juniper]

Queen straight

[manic talon]

not straight flushing on abandoned deck smh

[hearty kite]

I love full house I love full house I love full house I love full house I love full house

[uncut slate]

partial house

[heavy heron]

you guys are insane what? i go straight flush

[wintry ice]

four of a kind

[heavy heron]

small blind ante 1

[fading cobalt]

This is like the obvious answer tbh

[hearty kite]

It's either full house or royal flush

I always get those two for some reason

[heavy heron]

i go flush house ante 1 small blind

[hearty kite]

Entire fucking deck ante 1

[acoustic kettle]

totally possible

[north spindle]

sba1 is split pretty evenly between straights and flushes for me with the occasional full house

[acoustic kettle]

mhm

[left juniper]

A fellow erratic deck player

[heavy heron]

bro i have a friday class wtf damn professor

sorry unrelated

[acoustic kettle]

off topic

banished

[heavy heron]

well…

you see…

not exactly…

i think that’s an erratic choice

🤪

[shell dagger]

isn’t that normal

[heavy heron]

not in my campus

[shell dagger]

jajaja

[heavy heron]

but unrelated

TIME TO MOVE ON

[shell dagger]

i have a meeting every friday 3-4pm

BALATRO

[acoustic kettle]

[heavy heron]

[hearty kite]

What's balatro

[wintry ice]

[heavy heron]

that’s disgusting

like actually disgusting

i’d sue your college

[hearty kite]

Rest in peace 🕊️

[robust lance]

In comparison to other things not really

[heavy heron]

i suppose so

[robust lance]

(I’m just being annoying again)

[acoustic kettle]

this be me showing up to sunday classes fr

[robust lance]

(It’s like saying lava isn’t hot cause there’s hotter things)

[heavy heron]

LOOOLLLLRJGEOROG

how to relate it back to balatro

[hearty kite]

You're a real negative madness that's rental???

What's the mult

[robust lance]

Just a floating card yeah

[wintry ice]

my hair at 7am

[heavy heron]

ikr i didn’t know those kinds of people rlly existed! i thought it was a rumor!

[hearty kite]

I think seeing that would be funny irl

[hearty kite]

Next thing I know the eternal Gros Michel is also real

[heavy heron]

what joker looks closest to how you look irl

i think i’m leaning towards misprint

[acoustic kettle]

castle

[heavy heron]

what exactly does that mean

[hearty kite]

Ancient Joker

[heavy heron]

you’re just a castle?

[heavy heron]

so.. a fossil?

[hearty kite]

I have no clue

[robust lance]

Constellation

[hearty kite]

And I have no clue what ancient Joker is

[heavy heron]

i’m either abstract or misprint

[hearty kite]

So I said ancient joker

[balmy ridge]

I LOVE WHEN MY IDOL MISSES MY 17 HEART KINGS FOR 4 ANTES

[heavy heron]

idol statistically can’t hit

i dont know if you knew that

[balmy ridge]

wdym

[heavy heron]

common knowledge imo

[balmy ridge]

33 card deck btw

i dont think ive ever used idol

[acoustic kettle]

gonna be easiest win ever

[hearty kite]

When the idol hits the one 6 of clubs and you're running full hearts kings

[north spindle]

idol is like
comically bad

[heavy heron]

for winning? yea

[balmy ridge]

no 9 of diamonds which i have 1 of

had

its over now

[hearty kite]

I feel sorry for you

[balmy ridge]

its so over its so over

[hearty kite]

For idol it's either a hit or miss

[balmy ridge]

ill never beat gold stake erratic

[balmy ridge]

are you going to explain what you mean or

[heavy heron]

it means idol will never hit the card you want

this is a statistically correct

idol 🤝 not hitting 🤝 bloodstone

[balmy ridge]

ok so you're making a joke or something? i dont get it

[heavy heron]

it is a joke yeah

[wintry ice]

idol is inconsistent as hell

[heavy heron]

i hate idol is all LOOLL

[balmy ridge]

ok its a bad joke i don't like it

[heavy heron]

whoops

[hearty kite]

Hey bloodstone can hit

[heavy heron]

well i stand by what i said

[heavy heron]

are we sure about this

[robust lance]

Bloodstone hits more often
Like a crackhead somehow getting money (immediately buying more crack)

[hearty kite]

Yes absolutely

[balmy ridge]

it can... hit the road!! balatro reference haha. you guys ever heard of balatro?

[heavy heron]

are you sure you didn’t fumble an oops all hearts hitting

[hearty kite]

my bloodstone hit all my king of hearts WITHOUT oops

[wintry ice]

bloodstone hits on high cards

[hearty kite]

What's balatro is that an underground game

[heavy heron]

i bet nobody even understands the hidden joke in “hit the road”

[hearty kite]

Okay this is also true

[heavy heron]

maybe gen a wont at least

[balmy ridge]

heh, yeah... it's pretty niche. only for those who nose

[final garden]

just beat gold stake abandoned deck

[hearty kite]

I got your nose now you can't nose

[heavy heron]

nice

[final garden]

all i have to say is fuck the violet vessel

[balmy ridge]

mac user bleeegh

[final garden]

i think this is my 7th deck win so far

[hearty kite]

Violet Vessel isn't that bad

[west copper]

FUCK THE FLINT

IN JOKERLESS

FUCK

FLINT

SO BADLY

[final garden]

almost out of the fun decks to do in goldstake

[balmy ridge]

holy shit we're so back

first pack burnt joker

[west copper]

WHY CAN FILNT AND WATER APPEAR IN JOKERLESS? FUCK

[hearty kite]

Don't fumble please

[final garden]

burnt joker ante 1 just gives you the freest pair build ive seen

[hearty kite]

I always do high cards with my burnt joker

[balmy ridge]

LEVEL 1000 PAIRS HERE I COME

[tame cobalt]

Pair scales better

[uncut slate]

honey i burned the joker

[hearty kite]

High card is funnier to me

[balmy ridge]

omg

the mediocre world of gumball

[west copper]

can we add a FUCKING OPTION TO RESTART A CHALLENGE WHEN YOU FUCKING lose god im livid

[balmy ridge]

HOLY BALLS BURNT JOKER ANMD REBATE WE ARE SO VERY BACK YIPPEEEE

[uncut slate]

high card as your scoring hand is worse for the obelisk 👍

[west copper]

lost to bullshit flint and now i gotta navigate treacherous ui just to restart jokerless

[tame cobalt]

Grokerless

[north spindle]

burnt joker is one of the few things thag makes me seriously consider hc

[final garden]

water on jokerless is nowhere near as bad as water on golden needle

getting the water on that challenge is just gg

[tame cobalt]

Gold staking zodiac deck first try felt good

[west copper]

what if we took balatro, but removed the ACTUAL fun part about balatro and left you with a rng fest where ur forced to find a good straight build or 4oak and if you see water or flint u die!

JOKERLESS summarized

[hearty kite]

What is the water again 🕊️

[tame cobalt]

No discards

[final garden]

0 discards

[hearty kite]

Is that the one that kills all your discards

[tame cobalt]

It's needle but for discards

[north spindle]

ideally on geedle you get something where u just dont discard bc its expensive

but i mean
if u get it early

its sort of unwinnable

[tame cobalt]

Water cant show up before ante 4 I believe

[west copper]

WRONG

ANTE

[tame cobalt]

Or was it ante 2? I forget

[west copper]

FUCKING

2

[north spindle]

yeah i swear ive gotten it in a2

[west copper]

it is ante 2

[tame cobalt]

Ah

[west copper]

and it killed like

way too many g needle runs

[hearty kite]

Wait water can't show up before ante 2

[final garden]

the only one with a minum ante of 4 is plant

[final garden]

nope

[north spindle]

even a4 would still be "early" in this context tho

[tame cobalt]

I haven't done most of the challenges yet

[hearty kite]

Genuinely didn't know this

[tame cobalt]

I've done like most of the first page of challenges

[west copper]

the last few challenges are just garbage rng fests that are not fun whats so ever

lol

[hearty kite]

My ass has been playing balatro without knowing anything

[final garden]

the only boss blinds that can show up before ante 2 are the suit debuffers
Pillar manacle hook and the psychic

[north spindle]

what abt ox? or is that even later

[tame cobalt]

Ox can't show up till very late for some reason

[wintry ice]

ante 2 water is less bad because you can save yourself with page 1 jokers

[final garden]

ox is ante 6

[tame cobalt]

I can't remember the last time I even saw ox tbh

[wintry ice]

still sucks though

[rugged umbra]

ox needs time to gather your balatro telemetry

[uncut slate]

the psychic is the worst name imo i do not understand what that has to do with playing 5 cards

[final garden]

serpent needs a minimum ante of 5

[west copper]

g needle? worst thing in the entire game actually, like the most horribly designed thing in balatro imo not just the worst challenge worst thing in balatro
cruelty is a close 2nd
jokerless is also just a fucking rngfest
