[limber merlin]

i dont understand how you guys get the jokers to get such high scores

[loud flicker]

double pants on black deck is way funnier

[hybrid tendon]

make good use of it 😔

[shadow sundial]

luck

[violet bear]

Well i golded stm with 2 poly copies and a bunch of red seals queens

[kindred valley]

Skill

[violet bear]

Hardcarried me early game

[shadow sundial]

truly the joker of all time

[limber merlin]

i gotta be missing something cause i cant get past 100k

[white zodiac]

it's good enough to where I can do this and still be in a positive relationship with my phone after, if that helps

[kindred valley]

Stm is so fun

[violet bear]

Campfire mentioned

[heavy heron]

keep trying, you’ll get there

[heavy heron]

you’ll make better choices and do better every run

[pale wolf]

glass

[loud flicker]

scoring high is mostly about knowing what to use and then just being decent enough to live white stake while farming money

the latter is not too hard

[white zodiac]

oh wrong ss

[loud flicker]

the former just takes experience/larping here

[shadow sundial]

real answer, is expereince, being able to take a given seed and shape it into something consistent

[violet bear]

Square man and obelisk mentioned

Nice stats

[loud flicker]

consistency is way more impressive than high scores to me

[heavy heron]

i don’t like this comment being told to a newer player because glass in itself doesn’t get you high scores let alone anything on low level hands or without retriggers

[limber merlin]

interesting

[loud flicker]

glass + retriggers is one of the easiest, most consistent strategies to get high scores though

[pale wolf]

nothing in itself gets high scores

[limber merlin]

these are all seeded runs?

[loud flicker]

generally stacking anything that has "x" is good

[heavy heron]

so don’t say anything in itself when ppl need advice

[viral totem]

First pack of the run lmao

[pale wolf]

no, but every run has a seed

[solid tapir]

you don't need glass to get high scores neccesarily. 95% of my runs involve one-two shot scores without glass

(gold stake)

[serene forge]

[limber merlin]

will keep working at it

[heavy heron]

solid

[cosmic sun]

smartest r/balatro play

[heavy heron]

i will now take every negative skip ever

[pale wolf]

why is this labeled meme
they were rewarded for their mistake and they're calling it a meme?

[limber merlin]

ive never seen any of this fancy stuff haha. just the basic jokers

[loud flicker]

thank god they got that to save the run!

[kindred valley]

Why would they negative skip with madness

[heavy heron]

not a mistake if it paid off

[cosmic sun]

ah yes madness, red card, holo

run was in dire straits

[pale wolf]

uh yes it still is

lol

[solid tapir]

this set up is already winning so idk what OP is on

[kindred valley]

Why would they even need more xmult this game

They need chips more likely

[viral totem]

I've been playing lately trying not to go under $25 because of interest and like... is this how I've been supposed to be playing all along cuz it's kinda working out lol

[pale wolf]

thinking mistakes are okay if they pay off is why people think balatro is a game about gambling

[white zodiac]

the advice in question was how to get high scores. high scores are often associated with on card scoring plus triggers. x mult is a common boosting source in combination with high planet levels/base mult. glass amplifies that score. ballot is common and can improve the score dramatically

[heavy heron]

you’re right i drew a straight flush after using my 2nd to last hand against the hook i made a mistake

[cosmic sun]

yeah redditors underesitmate chips probably

[solid tapir]

yes

[north schooner]

xMult is chips

[serene forge]

they hate every chip jonkler except for wee

[viral totem]

Potato chips

[heavy heron]

this is a better answer

[pale wolf]

and hack even if you dont have wee

for some reason

[cosmic sun]

reddit loves retriggers

[viral totem]

Sound go up

Weeee

[heavy heron]

because it is i mean why do you think people take rare skips in multiplayer? is it a mistake if it pays off sometimes?

[kindred valley]

Idk why people don't get that if you have 35 chips on your fouse and you add 35 more chips that's a X2

[white zodiac]

I would've taken "glass"

[heavy heron]

i know multiplayer is a different setting but it’s demonstrative that good luck plays a role in doing risky plays

like taking certain skips

[pale wolf]

they are taking those skips because they are the most reliable way of winning, not because they are a gamble
It's a completely different meta, it's basically endless strats from the very beginning of the run

[heavy heron]

“mistake” is a rough way to put it

[solid tapir]

multiplayer is quite different compared to regular balatro

[heavy heron]

poor choice? sure

[stark karma]

It was 400 on ante 6 mb, not that impressive tbh

[heavy heron]

mistake? no

[heavy heron]

hence why i said what i said after that comment

[solid tapir]

ty for acknowledging it

[loud flicker]

multiplayer balatro sounds so fun

I should try that some time

[solid tapir]

it is

[kindred valley]

I hate perishable from a design standpoint because wdym I just got an AJ that would win the run instantly and I have to sell it in 5 rounds

[viral totem]

Didn't even know that existed

[loud flicker]

is it score based or time based

[stark karma]

It honestly look too luck reliant

[pale wolf]

Yes

[heavy heron]

there are people who haven’t gotten off multiplayer balatro since the day it came out, who go on casual queue for fun so prepare to get stomped at the beginning

[loud flicker]

care to elobarate or?

[pale wolf]

instead of Boss blinds, your opponent is the boss blind, and they can start a timer if they get there before you

[kindred valley]

I suppose it is free win con for the next 5 rounds at least

[river slate]

what do i sell here?

[serene forge]

dna

[heavy heron]

i mean it’s DNA right

[north schooner]

Well, are we talking a chip joker, or planet levels? Because they might have plenty of planet levels (probable if playing madness with rebate) and a chip joker would do proportionately less than x3

[white zodiac]

force pivot was prob the main intention

[viral totem]

Anytime I get dna I forget to use it

[river slate]

idk i wanted to scale a bit more steel joker

[solid tapir]

dna bro

[stark karma]

Balatro is a math game with luck elements

[heavy heron]

if you are only looking to survive this and not go endless, then it’s always DNA

[stark karma]

One could argue luck elements are also math

[north schooner]

Also it's madness, you don't get to pick and choose your support jokers

[loud flicker]

isn't it ironic that the main point of the genre based on luck is to reduce at as much as humanly possible

[kindred valley]

Dba obv

[heavy heron]

can’t you DNA a deb uff fed card?

DNA then sell?

[river slate]

nah i want to go endless

[solid tapir]

you can

[kindred valley]

Use dna and sell

[pale wolf]

That's pretty much the goal of any chance game

[kindred valley]

Dna and invis joker don't care about debuffs

[pale wolf]

it is kind of ironic

[solid tapir]

[loud flicker]

if you have enough hand levels you could consider selling nothing and just winning

[kindred valley]

Fibonacci dies to this boss

[river slate]

didn't have to sell anything

[loud flicker]

but only that and enhancements

[kindred valley]

I doubt he has fib for no good reason

[loud flicker]

100k is very low

[north schooner]

Oh look, Balatro in a screenshot

[river slate]

my flush 5 lvl was high enought

[solid tapir]

violent vessel w/ 1.2M points

[loud flicker]

it's unfortunate that most people don't see that irony

[kindred valley]

I've been coaching my one friend through white stake and it's kinda cray how new players think

[loud flicker]

though some do just play into it intentionally knowing it's not optimal which I respect

gambling is fun!

[stark karma]

-42 updoots ToT

I just realized

[pale wolf]

i rember hating straights bc theyre so hard to figure out how to draw for :c easier to match ranks or colors instead 😄

[white zodiac]

I've gotten dms here wanting me to coach them

[pale wolf]

same I think its the pink

[stark karma]

Straights are so goated

[shell dagger]

please coach me to get nane inf

[loud flicker]

flush was also much better on first patch

they got nerfed hard

[pale wolf]

WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY

[stark karma]

It’s not hard

[white zodiac]

ugn

[loud flicker]

now straights are just so much better

[solid tapir]

all I hear is "Bus is bad", "Obelisk is bad", "Negative skip ? 🥺🥹"

[white zodiac]

5 dollars

[stark karma]

You just want to build a strong Econ

[shell dagger]

sent you

[hybrid tendon]

I prefer gay people but okey

[white zodiac]

omg

[north schooner]

They're not that much better

[pale wolf]

than flush?

[stark karma]

What about us bisexuals

[north schooner]

Oh we're talking Balatro again?

[loud flicker]

me too and it's even weirder for me since I've played so many games in this genre that balatro was really easy to pick up

[solid tapir]

we get to like jimbos and uhhh yuri

[hybrid tendon]

I like them too

[serene forge]

me during plague inc cure mode be like

[hybrid tendon]

I love yuri!!!

[stark karma]

I think this game fails the Behdel test btw

[solid tapir]

I love both

[loud flicker]

hey hey....

[pale wolf]

yea

[loud flicker]

don't twist my words...

[serene forge]

i love my gf

[pale wolf]

because theres only one speaking role in the game

[uncut slate]

what changed

[white zodiac]

here u go #🕹・game-discussion message

[hybrid tendon]

no wayy, me too

[hybrid tendon]

true

it needs at least 2

[stark karma]

The fanart doesn’t fail

[north schooner]

How do you explain blueprint and brainstorm then? At least when they're targeting shoot the moon?

[pale wolf]

at least 2 more since jimbo ostensibly is male

[stark karma]

But other arguments can be made

[loud flicker]

planets scaling got nerfed and the +mult when suit played jokers became +3 instead of 4

[summer jay]

There's a mod that turns straights into gays

[hybrid tendon]

yeh I have it :p

[loud flicker]

before it was totally fine to bring those jokers to the end of the game and just flush it through

[solid tapir]

there's a mod that turns all the jimbos into women

[summer jay]

Ah

[stark karma]

Are the only female characters STM, Queens, and high priestess? And empress?

[serene forge]

[pale wolf]

drivers license

[loud flicker]

there's surely more

[white zodiac]

dl

[stark karma]

Wait what

[pale wolf]

Jen Joker

[hybrid tendon]

blueprint and brainstorm too trust

[serene forge]

chicot

[pale wolf]

thats a joke i made

[serene forge]

ummm

[pale wolf]

chicot is quite male

[loud flicker]

sixth sense could be either

[stark karma]

The Moon, an argument could be made lmao

[summer jay]

Queens, empress, priestess, and the girl on the lovers card

[pale wolf]

if you ask me, driver's license being a woman means that there's no real visual indication of whether a joker is male or female

[serene forge]

what is diet cola's gender

[hybrid tendon]

what If both of them are

[pale wolf]

so any of them that aren't literally named after a male are potential women

[solid tapir]

[summer jay]

Balagay

[white zodiac]

lover

[white zodiac]

huminahuminahumina

[serene forge]

baron is a woman because it is a potential joker

[stark karma]

Wait people think DL is a girl because their name is Jen?

[solid tapir]

that's what I'm sayin

[loud flicker]

ye but jimbo is male and a lot of jokers are just jimbo variantions

[pale wolf]

baron would be baroness so male

[stark karma]

Mr Bones

[pale wolf]

just because they look like him doesn't mean they are him

[hybrid tendon]

I'm a variation of myself when I was a kid

[north schooner]

Runner

[stark karma]

Okay what

[solid tapir]

Baron and baroness

[summer jay]

Guys what if they're transjoker

[pale wolf]

ew

[serene forge]

she transitioned between now and the update from last year

[stark karma]

Oh slick pixelart

[solid tapir]

nawr

[loud flicker]

the art style is so different lmao

[solid tapir]

mods be like that

[hybrid tendon]

love the peach crown thing it got going on

[pale wolf]

this game would not have succeeded with anime jokers

[solid tapir]

is cute, yes.

[hardy moon]

would it be worth it to sell everything and copy ancient?

[stark karma]

Fr ToT

[hybrid tendon]

ture

true

[north schooner]

trust

[modest spade]

Thunk said in a tweet Jen Joker is a girl pretty much

[stark karma]

Sell everything and copy baseball

[pale wolf]

im so glad thunk isnt a weeb

[solid tapir]

do u have wild cards in your deck

[modest spade]

So, yes

[serene forge]

we need the estrogen joker, that makes kings and jacks count as queens, then we can finally play 4oaks that contain two pairs

[stark karma]

That’s wonderful

[hardy moon]

no

[solid tapir]

it's risky to ankh then

[stark karma]

This will be huge for Tribulet

[pale wolf]

I think it's pretty valid headcanon for DL to be trans since her signature never got updated from the original "Jeb Joker" sprite

[hardy moon]

well i would sell everything else to have 100% ancient

[modest spade]

I like that

[solid tapir]

and then die because you can't draw the flush you need ?

[stark karma]

iinteresting

[summer jay]

Jeb from jokecraft

[hardy moon]

ahhhhh im sure its fine

[solid tapir]

white stake, true.

[minor portal]

mmmmmm.... brainstorm

[hybrid tendon]

getting a driver's liscense takes so long here

[warped wave]

zeba

[pale wolf]

e

[warped wave]

I did it

play the light yagami monologue

I win

[pale wolf]

I'll assume the worst then, you monster

[white zodiac]

he wouldn't have brought it up if it was

[pale wolf]

oh nice

[white zodiac]

cool

[warped wave]

just needed every bit of luck in the world to beat gold stke

[pale wolf]

yk the order of the smiley and photo matters right :p

[white zodiac]

all it took was some lobotomy

[pale wolf]

getting the +5 before the 2x is better

[warped wave]

...

[balmy ridge]

is blackboard still active if you have debuffed hearts/diamonds in hand?

[stark karma]

Joker Idea: Skier

[warped wave]

shut up...

[summer jay]

I'll take a potato chip...
And EAT IT

[minor portal]

would selling nana for brainstorm be a good idea

[balmy ridge]

nah brainstorm sucks. one of the worst jokers tbh

[stark karma]

I think it would trigger?

[pale wolf]

do you have planetary mult

[warped wave]

I'm doing schoolwork with my left hand, and Balatro with my right!

[summer jay]

Ragebait used to be believable

[white zodiac]

I also beat the last seed first try when you played here a couple days ago. that was a tough cookie

[minor portal]

some

[balmy ridge]

secret third hand to eat potato chips

[white zodiac]

ungh im balalaling

[minor portal]

idk acrobatic would be doing hard carrying

[warped wave]

... wdymbt

[north schooner]

I can't decide whether I dislike Magic deck or nebula deck more

[warped wave]

nice

[balmy ridge]

nebula

fucking horrendous

im trying to gold stake it rn it sucks

[warped wave]

also, I think ace builds are my new favorite to go for

[shadow sundial]

light yagami wpuldve gotten away with so much more if he was just gay

[white zodiac]

oh

was i your influence

[warped wave]

Are you an ace fan?

[shadow sundial]

balactica

[white zodiac]

mayhaps

[pale wolf]

hmmm the deck that rewards value generation, has more variety, and even gives you bonus consumables at the start
VS
the deck that destroys value gen, puts you halfway to a voucher you can barely make use of, and usually reduces you to playing one hand the entire run

[north schooner]

No!

[kindred valley]

Hey guys does flower pot die to suit debuff bosses

[shadow sundial]

no you still play all 4 suits

[balmy ridge]

am i gonna have to sell square to copy blackboard? or would square still be a good target

[pale wolf]

The debuffed cards will act as their base suit, unless they are wild, in which case they will not have any suit

[kindred valley]

I thought seeing double died to suit debuffs

Oh wait

[shadow sundial]

norp

[kindred valley]

Seeing double says scored I thought?

[north schooner]

Debuffed Wild cards don't count at all for flowerpot, even with their base suit

[kindred valley]

That's so dumb

Guess I won't be using my wilds then

[latent egret]

what stake is this

[north schooner]

Probably a bug?

[pale wolf]

likely

I think

[latent egret]

cause yeah square is a decent copy

[balmy ridge]

gold

ante 3

[hardy moon]

well god damn...

[latent egret]

yeah square is decent

[north schooner]

it's weird that debuffed (non-wild) cards work for flowerpot but not seeing double or blackboard.

[latent egret]

at least it'll make bb not a short term necessity

[balmy ridge]

BOOM it hit bb anyway

also stone cards destroy bb right?

[north schooner]

That, and glass proc'ing before holographic, are my only complaints with this game

[shadow sundial]

actually idk, it says scoring cards

[hardy moon]

i man of good taste in texture swaps i see.

[north schooner]

And matador needing a wiki page

[balmy ridge]

egg.

[stark karma]

Joker Idea: The Thunker
Legendary
If current year isn’t 2025 update the game

[north schooner]

Correct. Cards must be club or spade and stone is neither

[hardy moon]

OMG BLUE PRINT AND BRAIN STORM BACK TO FUCKING BACK

[shadow sundial]

yo quiero taco bel

[hardy moon]

holy shit

[white zodiac]

anything other than black suits disables bb proc

[shadow sundial]

be sure to copy empress dude

[kindred valley]

Well wild is a different suit technically

That sent really late

[north schooner]

Yeah I dunno, magic deck just never works for me. It makes sense in theory, but eh....

[kindred valley]

I just lost a promising run because all of the +mult I got was perishable

[loud flicker]

If I’m not mistaken flower pot used to not work with any debuffed but it sucked so much it was changed

[kindred valley]

I will never win streak longer than 2 bro 💔

[white zodiac]

proactive scalers could never

[kindred valley]

Actually I had a fortune teller

[white zodiac]

im happy with 15

[north schooner]

It'll come when it comes, don't pressure game devs, they have enough stress as it is

[white zodiac]

ft is retroactive

and also the worst one

relative wise

[loud flicker]

I wanted to streak white stake blue deck to prove its near impossible to lose but kept getting bored and distracted

[fading cobalt]

Bloodstone almost fucking betrayed me when I was at ante 8 boss blind with gold stake

But

I BEAT GOLD STAKE

[loud flicker]

8 was my max while not even trying, just farming gold stake stickers on blue deck

[pale wolf]

Have you tried using the fools on a planet

[north schooner]

That makes sense, but I wish it was consistent

[loud flicker]

It needs it.

Poor card sucks enough

[shadow sundial]

round 2 level 3 full hpuse carry me pleaaase

[north schooner]

Probably not, but that also seems boring.

Now that you mention it, that's probably how I got through gold stake though.

[north schooner]

noo, it's the worst hand

[shadow sundial]

i loooovs full house

[north schooner]

Straight scales better and is easier to draw

[shadow sundial]

nuh uh,,, the straights hage nme

[uncut slate]

full house triggers the pants though 👍

[shadow sundial]

factual

[white zodiac]

mf got the Excalibur figure from soul eater

[north schooner]

"I intentionally shot myself in the foot with my own gun. But I survived the blood loss!"

[shadow sundial]

gleb

[rancid widget]

hey guys. So like, he says that his yorick is at x40 and he replaced the scary face with a mime and he also says that he doesn't have red seals. And yet, he says he reached ante 18 with 30 levels. In pair. how much is he lying?

[loud flicker]

Full house triggers my perfectionism cause it’s literally throwing

[shadow sundial]

at 40x is,,, maybe possible?

[north schooner]

counterpoint: straights trigger runner

[shadow sundial]

counterpoint, just play 2pair and trigger pants and squimbo

[white zodiac]

not a coincidence that my showman run was also my first fh run

[rancid widget]

really doubt it. He also died. On the same seed. To e13.

[white zodiac]

and obby licks ceiling

[shadow sundial]

giv me the seed

[slate lance]

Why is this chat always so much more active than main?

[shadow sundial]

no one like people from general chat

[north schooner]

Runner outpaces squimbo even if you only play a straight every other hand. Plus I hate that little square guy.

[slate lance]

I talk in general...

:[

[cosmic sun]

guess you aren't be there

[shadow sundial]

that little square guy is awesom.... dont be a hat0r

[cosmic sun]

🟦

[shadow sundial]

mb

[slate lance]

Castle is better

:3

[white zodiac]

[shadow sundial]

castle good but square funny

[white zodiac]

the cherry picking is clear

[slate lance]

Fair fair

I like both

[shadow sundial]

the mysterious two pairs of pants

[slate lance]

Pretty sure square is one of my most played jokers

[cosmic sun]

runner HATES trousers he only likes his little shorts

[slate lance]

Nvm i am indeed wrong

[north schooner]

My current high score is from a walkie talkie full house idol build, so I can relate.

[white zodiac]

pretty sure

[shadow sundial]

spare pants eventually will have to be patched up so much none of the original parts will remain

will it remain the same pair of pants?

[slate lance]

Im healing 🙏

[white zodiac]

free the legs or whatever

[shadow sundial]

or is it a different pair of pants

[shadow sundial]

the white stake stain

[white zodiac]

oh

[slate lance]

Jesus u love shoot the moon

Is shoot the moon rllly that good

[white zodiac]

no

[north schooner]

I'm just upset he's in my top 10 used and not runner

[white zodiac]

it's just good enough

[slate lance]

Oh 😭

Fair

Lemme send myne

[shadow sundial]

yes

[shadow sundial]

he is so awesome

[white zodiac]

within the upper half of jokers

[shadow sundial]

he was there and he be square

[slate lance]

Not u, its like asking a rich person if they like capitalism

[white zodiac]

that's not bad per say

[slate lance]

Yah

Ive only started hold staking recently

This was my nebula gold stake just now

[shadow sundial]

im sorry,,, i havent played alot of balala recently and photochad still stains me

[slate lance]

Wanted to get stone joker but no space 💔

[sly coral]

i wanted to sticker this so bad

[vestal fern]

guys is there any cool full house builds i could try out

[shadow sundial]

insane numbers with bp bs thought

[vestal fern]

hold on why is it blue

[slate lance]

Jesus u play a lot 😭

[shell seal]

I have jupiter in that place too 🥀

[shadow sundial]

mods kill him

[vestal fern]

[white zodiac]

fake fan

[vestal fern]

like it doesn't even show anything

[shadow sundial]

im sorry i havent balalaled in months

[slate lance]

Sigh i hate flushes sm

[shadow sundial]

i havent played in mknths

[white zodiac]

whatever this is

[slate lance]

The things painted deck made me do...

[slate lance]

(The ecto not immolate)

[vestal fern]

cool

[shadow sundial]

i love my highcards and my full houses i dont care theyre bad hands

[slate lance]

😭 ive only been playing a couple months dawg

Im rlly new

[vestal fern]

high cards aren't bad imo

[slate lance]

Highcard aint bad especially with card sharp and supernova

[white zodiac]

5 card sharps if you want to do that for some reason

[calm sapphire]

h

[shadow sundial]

im gonna be honest the pluto is probably inflated from all the stm naninf attempts where im just planet farming

[solemn bough]

I swear glass and space can't have the same 1 in 4

[shell seal]

Why does ur game looks like that

[terse vale]

true

[white zodiac]

same probability

[white zodiac]

z fold

[terse vale]

oh i’m sure

unless you want the glass to break
then its the same odds as spaceman

[modest stirrup]

Can I win orange stake with just these two jokers?

[solemn bough]

SO WHY DOES GLASS BREAKS EVERY TIME BUT SPACE NEVER TRIGGER

[modest stirrup]

because the game hates you

[north schooner]

nah, running pants work well

[terse vale]

oof bootstraps

[shadow sundial]

all of my statistics on my balala profile are all ruined from stm naninf attempts why is cryptid over DOUBLE THE USE of my next spectral

[modest stirrup]

oof?

[terse vale]

theoretically you could but you’d need a lot of saturns

[vapid badger]

big sad

[solemn bough]

[terse vale]

it sux

[white zodiac]

confirmation bias

[modest stirrup]

why?

[white zodiac]

or so I've heard

[modest stirrup]

just save money

[white zodiac]

my shop opportunity value

[terse vale]

thats the problem

[solemn bough]

Yeah I know you're right but still I feel that they are not the same

[north schooner]

I definitely have known some crust punks with Pants of Theseus

[modest stirrup]

I have +20 times 5

[vapid badger]

didnt run into any red seal or glass untill i sold my dna, saw a deja vu next shop

[terse vale]

it requires you to save an obscene amount of money to be useful

[white zodiac]

crimson hort

[terse vale]

it kinds stunts your run

[shadow sundial]

thats a stunt, man

[vapid badger]

had a goat setup too :(

[solemn bough]

Yeah sometimes the game just wants you to surfer

[north schooner]

It's poison.

[shadow sundial]

🏄‍♂️

[cosmic sun]

🤑 faceless drunkard

[vapid badger]

i had 30 queens of hearts, no red seals, sold my dna to pick up sock, immediately saw a deja vu

[solemn bough]

Well ❤️‍🩹

[vapid badger]

rebate but worse fr

[shadow sundial]

anything to keep from buying a new set of pants

[solemn bough]

The fact that both of them are common seems wrong

[vapid badger]

didnt see a single justice in tarot packs either till i sold the dna

[cosmic sun]

money is money

[vapid badger]

rebate gotta be made an uncommon for baseball card synergy fr

[shadow sundial]

rebate merry andy bbc synergy

[vapid badger]

🙏

[slate lance]

Is it normal to not enjoy white stake after ive been doing gold stake so much

[vapid badger]

still cant beleive i didnt see a single red seal that whole run till i sold the dna

[shadow sundial]

yeah its called burnout

[slate lance]

Like om trying out decks ive never tried before and it nust feels yucky

[vapid badger]

yep

[slate lance]

Thats fair

I should probably play anorher game for a lil bit

Or maybe go black deck goldstake >:3

[shadow sundial]

cloverpit

:777:

🎰

[slate lance]

No im gonna play inscryption, i just bought it (i had it on ps plus before but got removed)

[solemn bough]

Sometimes I wonder when I watch completiontist ++

[shadow sundial]

ypu should clover th4 pit on zod

[north schooner]

It's not burnout, it's just that once you're used to gold, white stake feels trivial.

[slate lance]

Is it even on ps plus

[white zodiac]

you don't see me play sandbox mode in btd6

[shadow sundial]

oh youre on console

i was talkin steam

[slate lance]

I have a pc but its broken rn 🥲

I play balatro on ps4 tho

Soon maybe ps5 for my bday

[warped wave]

I have no words

[shadow sundial]

whats the issue with it

[solid tapir]

same

I've been using my laptop for the past few months and have slowly been going crazy cuz no PC

[slate lance]

Literally idk
My parents are it experts and they have no idea

[shadow sundial]

im in the last two semesters of my AAS for cybersecurity maybe i can help

[solid tapir]

hopefully soon in December I'll be able to build my new one

[shadow sundial]

oh

is it a physical or software

do you know

[white zodiac]

whys that the first deck you chose out of the black deck marathon you did

[slate lance]

Rip me too 💔 but genuinely im kinda glad
I was addicted to marvel rivals and i lowkey dont wanna plY it that much anymore

[slate lance]

No idea

[solid tapir]

fair enough

I was addicted to league and overwatch

[shadow sundial]

does the motherboard beep when yo turn it on

[solid tapir]

I still am and want to play them

[slate lance]

Well like, everytime i played a game my monitor went black (happened on different screens NOT a monitor or cable issue)

what is this scam/advertisment fr

[slate lance]

Thats what the crashes said but the thing is
This happened on two different computers

[solid tapir]

so many people have been posting the same image

[proper oasis]

holy

[shadow sundial]

wdym two different computers like two seperate entire rigs? no same parts?

[solid tapir]

bp and burnt joker is free

[proper oasis]

Poly Skip, Hex, Wraith

Pog

[slate lance]

No same parts at all

My parents let me borrow their px

Pc

[shadow sundial]

well i know some games have issues with brand and code compatibility, what was the game(s)

[slate lance]

Every game.

Actually

[shadow sundial]

every game

[hasty harness]

finally

[slate lance]

It started crashinf jo game

[hasty harness]

gonna beat blue stake black deck

[slate lance]

Even deltarune started crashing and if yk it, then yk thats insane

[shadow sundial]

crashing no game

well

[hasty harness]

speculative bloodstone ante 1 and didnt get the oops til ante 8 💀

[slate lance]

Yes just in general it crashed when i was googling or smt

[shadow sundial]

thats starting to sound either malware or hardware

[slate lance]

I hope not malware 😭 besides my parents wouldve probably found it

They work in IT alr

Or worked

Im a dumbie on this typpa stuff tho 💔

[shadow sundial]

im thinkin

one last question

are your drivers updated

[slate lance]

Yea all of em

[shadow sundial]

okay that clears a bit

[slate lance]

Bit of possible issues ?

[shadow sundial]

okay so i have a cohple things it could be

[slate lance]

Ugh i got photochad 🥲 i wanna win without it

But I'll take it anyway

[slate lance]

Pls tell me 😭

[balmy ridge]

what do

[shadow sundial]

if its sudden system crashes it could be PSU instability like the pins on the sata cables might be bent or not connecting, or the power supply's wattage could be lower than the parts in the system need,

it could be a memory error like defective ram or just.not connected right

[slate lance]

Constellation prob
Why go for hit the road if ur goal is to play face carss

Makes no sense

[balmy ridge]

thats what i was thinking

but rental sucks

[shadow sundial]

failing hdd/ssd can freeze and crash any system

[slate lance]

You'll live

Youve got good exon with busienss card

Dont be afraid to take 1 or 2 rentals to secure a win

[shadow sundial]

intermitten gpu issues because of firmware compatibility

blah balj

[slate lance]

But why would that happen on two different ones

[solid tapir]

hit the road

[slate lance]

Pure coincidence?

[solid tapir]

constellation is a rental and its scaling requires money

you're on gold stake

plus its scaling is a lot slower than hit the road

[valid berry]

my best run yet for sure

[shadow sundial]

do you know what wattage the parts of your computers need and if the power supplies fill that requirements?

what wattage are your psus

[valid berry]

i got so many fools and deaths

[balmy ridge]

dag nabbit i already took cons

[solid tapir]

eh

[balmy ridge]

econ is fine anyway i got seed money + business card chad

[modest stirrup]

FInally through orange stake

[solid tapir]

const is fine too I guess

[modest stirrup]

and nowhere near enough on their owqn, but they were a strong pillar

[solid tapir]

congratulations

[shadow sundial]

your true foe has yet to reveal himself

[valid berry]

if all my glass didnt break immediately i coulda prolly finished the ante

[modest stirrup]

now I have gold stake.

[valid berry]

thats how it be with oa6s though

[shadow sundial]

curses is thou with eternal rentals beyond need muuahahha

[solid tapir]

glass oops is crunchy

[modest stirrup]

oh I know my true foe. black deck orange stake.

[valid berry]

i couldnt not take the oops tho it wouldve died so much earlier

[heavy heron]

bro something i’ve never in my life ever seen before just happened and i had to do a mobile trick to undo it so i can show you guys what happened and record it this time because what the hell

[valid berry]

black deck blue stake

[heavy heron]

????

[slate lance]

Im not sure 😭

[solid tapir]

riff raff

[modest stirrup]

???

[slate lance]

Id have to check but im sure its good enoughish

[modest stirrup]

I'm already well past that

[heavy heron]

bro i got the 2 jokers back i just sold

[shy abyss]

they have $59

[solid tapir]

riff raff

[solid tapir]

I did miss that initially, but I would still pick hit the road

[valid berry]

higher difficulty increase than the others

3 hands 2 discards is yikes

[shy abyss]

they also have bcard with chad

[shadow sundial]

orange is above blue dude

[valid berry]

i know

[modest stirrup]

but I'm already past blue stake.

[valid berry]

im saying

[solid tapir]

still picking hit road the

[modest stirrup]

I'm working on gold stake

[shadow sundial]

could just have to wipe it and install a new OS

[valid berry]

ok

[shadow sundial]

road the hit

[solid tapir]

rth best joker

[shadow sundial]

true

i <3 hrt

hit road the

[solid tapir]

same

[modest stirrup]

no, I am not taking eternal rental bootstraps

that's just awful

[solid tapir]

sad I haven't had a good bootstraps run yet

every time I take it, I always run into something way better

😔

[modest stirrup]

well my bootstaps stencil joker was pretty dope

just add baseball and a couple more uncommons and you're good

[solid tapir]

if only a seed would bless me that way

[slate lance]

I migjt try 💔 idk im pretty happy on my ps4 rn tho

I love this game

[tranquil steppe]

The clutch negative castle pull!

[solid tapir]

castle won the game fs

[pale wolf]

this was my bootstrap sticker

[solid tapir]

nice line up

[solid tapir]

why not play 3oak 9's for the card sharp ?

would have prolly won that hand

[pale wolf]

probably

it was a long time ago, I probably just didn't feel in danger

[solid tapir]

fair enough

[shell dagger]

Which one do i take haha 😛

[tranquil steppe]

A negative uncommon joker that you can increase every turn in power combined with baseball card is crazy

[balmy ridge]

dude FUCK nebula

cant even use emperor

[pale wolf]

one on the left is mint condition

[pale wolf]

so are you plutoing or mercuring

[heavy heron]

i vouch for pluto

better yet

i use burnt joker on flushes

[violet bear]

I felt in danger for a microsecond for you as that 4oak didn’t win

[solid tapir]

yes

[pale wolf]

I definitely played pretty badly lol

[solid tapir]

its always mercury

[violet bear]

I’m gonna discard a straight and draw a new one back to back

Moyai_Wait

[solid tapir]

this is the way

[pale wolf]

give me a number between one and 66

[violet bear]

The getting away with it levels reached critical levels

[violet bear]

47

[pale wolf]

well I think I was winning regardless which is probably why I didn't pay much attention, but if I was paying attention it would have been extremely free

idk tho

[violet bear]

Yeah i can imagine

[pale wolf]

funny run

[shadow sundial]

campfire becomes infinitely better when rentals

[ivory sun]

i give you all... the ultimate straight build

[violet bear]

Least powerful campfire

[pale wolf]

I mean it is the worst deck for it

this is truly campfires floor

[violet bear]

Also oh no i wonder where the square man went

Yeah

For sure

[ornate adder]

Where's the ultimate gay build??

[pale wolf]

you're missing uuuuh devious joker?

[balmy ridge]

hrrm can i justify taking burnt

[violet bear]

The build where blueprint and brainstorm copy a polychrome uhhhhhhhh

[ivory sun]

look who’s looking over this run

nat neg

[violet bear]

Chat riddle me this
Average pairs run
You open an ante 4 jonkler pack, it has campfire and obelisk, which do you pick?

[solid tapir]

more inclined to pick campfire

[lost vault]

needs more context

[pale wolf]

ante 4 is infinite possibilities

[solid tapir]

if Im doing an average pair run then I'm assuming that I don't have decent levels in other hands

[muted leaf]

still doing golden needle rn should i take seltzer for anything here?

[solid tapir]

acrobat if anything

[pale wolf]

it mostly depends on income

[shell dagger]

Full hosue

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure what number I need per round to pick campfire over obelisk

[stuck sand]

Is this possible or am i cooked?

[pale wolf]

wrong

[shell dagger]

Jk i have chicot and HTR now

And a purple seal jack

[muted leaf]

wait thats goated idk why i thought acrobat was card sharp for a sec

[solid tapir]

might be cooked

[violet bear]

Yep that sounds right

[solid tapir]

card sharp is better than acrobat tho

[muted leaf]

not for golden needle rn tho

[solid tapir]

not sure how the golden needle challenge works

[stuck sand]

Bro this is the closest I’ve ever been

[muted leaf]

u lose $1 per discard used and only have 1 hand to play

[solid tapir]

did you die ?

[craggy moon]

card sharp is better for scoring , but its weak to bossing

[solid tapir]

ahh

yes then acrobat is much better

lol

[scenic sigil]

I just beat my final deck on gold stake but I didn't get the completionist+ achievement?? Is this a known thing on iOS mobile

[crude apex]

First shop Yorick and polychrome fist?????

[solid tapir]

winning

[crude apex]

Slap me i must be dreaming

[fading cobalt]

What deck should I do gold stake on next

[solid tapir]

black deck

[violet bear]

Win another run and you’ll get it

[stuck sand]

I’m just staring at this screen trying to think of something

[violet bear]

Its a thing on pc too

[scenic sigil]

On gold?

[cyan ocean]

i love playing bal|| ||tro

[violet bear]

No, any run

Not seeded

[scenic sigil]

Ok perfect

Ty

[solid tapir]

this happened to me too on PC, I played like 4-3 more runs on random stakes but it still didn't give me the achievement so I used a steam achievement thingy to give it to myself

[solid tapir]

ship it and go next

I can pull out the calculator

if it helps you move on

[scenic sigil]

I think maybe I didn't have an internet connection when I finished the run

[pale wolf]

It's a known bug on every version of the game, victory lap bug, just need one more run usually

[violet bear]

Nope its just how it is

[pale wolf]

sometimes on mobile progress just disappears though

[solid tapir]

unfortunately playing more games did not work for me

I was super disappointed

[fading cobalt]

You're evil.. bet

[violet bear]

Yikes

[stuck sand]

Gotta admit defeat

[solid tapir]

good luck

[solid tapir]

yep

good luck on your next run

[cyan ocean]

why do people dislike black deck???

[violet bear]

See it as this, after you gold black deck you never have to touch it again, so the earliest you do it, the sooner its gone

[pale wolf]

It's the most inconsistent deck

[balmy ridge]

anyone?

[solid tapir]

it's just a bit painful

[cyan ocean]

how?? isnt the game randomized??

[solid tapir]

you may be able to take, it's a bit rough tho

[pale wolf]

Yes, but the things that are different about each deck make them harder or easier

[violet bear]

Impacts econ and scoring a lot for an advantage that doesn’t matter early game

[pale wolf]

and black deck is the hardest

[balmy ridge]

ok i wont id rather play safe and it might ruin econ

[solid tapir]

yeah

[cyan ocean]

i dunno
i found it fun
might just be because im on white stake tho

[solid tapir]

if your faceless wasn't rental then fs you could take it

[solid tapir]

it is because you're on white stake

[cyan ocean]

oh well

[pale wolf]

I mean I'd still say it's the hardest for white steak but yeah everything is pretty easy on white steak

[cyan ocean]

but why does it become hard later??

[cyan ocean]

i found black stake pretty easy actually

[solid tapir]

-1 discard, -1 hand, blind scaling, rentals, eternals

poor

[violet bear]

And -3$ from the small blind

[pale wolf]

Black Deck is tough because it's it's going from four hands to three hands, that's -25% scoring, remaining hand money, five fewer cards to dig through your deck

[solid tapir]

just broke stake, broke deck

[cyan ocean]

i usually just find grabber as fast as i can and buy it

[violet bear]

Also one less hand to scale jokers like bus

[cyan ocean]

back to 4

[solid tapir]

relying on the speculative grabber voucher

[lost vault]

meow meow meow balatro

[pale wolf]

That's not really a strategy for win rate

[solid tapir]

^ yea

lol

[pale wolf]

You don't just decide to get A specific voucher

[stark karma]

How am I pressuring anybody

It’s just a joker

[cyan ocean]

yeah but if i get it i buy

shrimple

[solid tapir]

ofc that's how it works

[pale wolf]

That's true on pretty much every deck

grabber is probably the best voucher

[solid tapir]

but you can't enter a seed with the mindset of "I will get xyz voucher and get it fs"

[cyan ocean]

yeah
but it does get me back to 4 hands so its pretty good

[violet bear]

Turning any deck into blue deck+ do be quite good

[dense wraith]

Loyalty card moment

[solid tapir]

extra loyal

[cyan ocean]

thats why i said when i find it

[solid tapir]

for 5 rounds

[balmy ridge]

ancient joker picks randomly, not based on your deck, right?

[violet bear]

Ye

[solid tapir]

well yeah but this doesn't make much sense fr

[solid tapir]

ye

[pale wolf]

I personally don't dislike black deck at all, I think it's one of the more entertaining decks in the game and people hating it is just a skill issue

but the reasons why people dislike it are obvious

[solid tapir]

agreed

I've had some really fun runs on black deck gold stake

the challenge is nice

[cyan ocean]

all i said was if i find grabber i buy because it gets me back to 4 hands
i didnt say i just materialize it

[solid tapir]

it was implied

[dense wraith]

welp it would've been a death trap anyway

[cyan ocean]

oh ok srry i didnt mean it

[solid tapir]

sad

[cyan ocean]

i hate the needle
top 1 worst blind EVER

[shell dagger]

Max HTR with 2 discards yahoo

[solid tapir]

one of my fav jonklers fs

[shell dagger]

Chicot saved me when the water would’ve killed me

[viral raft]

Btw my physics teacher just bought me the Throwback painting for 10 bucks lmao

[wide kettle]

I'm kinda proud of this baron run. Early game was primarily hanging chad and scary face, with a mix of jokers for mult, and enough deck fixing to justify the Baron when he showed up. The mime was being elusive though, until the final ante. We'll see how far i can take it.

[muted leaf]

golden needle challenge rn and have the water coming up what should i do to ensure i can survive it lol

[cyan ocean]

whats golden needle

[muted leaf]

you get 1 hand and 6 discards but it costs $1 per discard

[cyan ocean]

sounds painful

[muted leaf]

i got the water boss blind coming up and that takes away all my discards too

[cyan ocean]

buy brainstorm

[muted leaf]

extremely painful

[cyan ocean]

whats throwback at?

[muted leaf]

farthest i’ve made it so far and don’t want to fumble

[muted leaf]

2.25

[edgy glacier]

@everyone

[cyan ocean]

ok

brainstorm on acrobat

thats two x3

actually
whats the middle one do?

[muted leaf]

+7 every club

[shell dagger]

Copying the middle one is never more than a 2x on this deck

[cyan ocean]

ok then put brainstorm on acrobat

thats 2 x3

better than only +7 every club

[cyan ocean]

mult or chips?

[shell dagger]

Mult

[cyan ocean]

oh ok

well again
i do think getting doubling acrobat is the better option

[shell dagger]

It is

Unless they have glass cards

[cyan ocean]

i would say getting rid of +7 every club since x3 is better

grabber my beloved

[safe moat]

Hello people

[cyan ocean]

hello

[exotic silo]

lmfao Acrobat did NOTHING

[balmy ridge]

does handy have a save scum keybind?

[cyan ocean]

should i try to beat blue deck green stake or red stake on the other decks (red yellow green black ghost)

[balmy ridge]

actually ill ask mod chat

[safe moat]

Chat I won on gold stake with a legendary which is dubs

[summer jay]

🖐️

[hoary jay]

🖐️ 🔵

[exotic silo]

apparently had 65 pairs played, which seems normal lmfao

[cyan ocean]

what is save scum

[balmy ridge]

like quickly going to main menu after opening a pack to cancel it

[quasi yew]

what is this shop

[cyan ocean]

ohh
ok yeah

[balmy ridge]

[quasi yew]

i am spamming pairs anyway

got some levels

I hate this shit

[vagrant dawn]

🤑

[cyan ocean]

i have a couple face cards

[hardy sun]

take the hex 👍

[fair vine]

Chat is switching swashbuckler for hologram the right play here?

[fair vine]

Or do I just sell swashbuckler and go all in on campfire

[hasty harness]

massive rocket

anyway red card mvp 🙏

[robust lance]

Seeing double carry

[hasty harness]

photochad actually carried but ride the bus + redcard let me survive until i found those lol

[wide kettle]

I personally am a fan of Swash, and it looks to me like you'll be low on mult, but hologram is also good, especially if your deck is steering more towards wild cards

[hasty harness]

you'll probably like this then 🤫

i had a giftcard swash and egg for like 7 antes lol

sold the giftcard for banana

[safe moat]

Is red card a more viable purchase with hallucination?

[hasty harness]

i mean you'll still get value out of packs that way so yea

[fair vine]

I’ve been relying on painted joker for my symbol conditionals on ancient and wrathful so I think I’ll just stick with swashbuckler thank you

[safe moat]

I just was thinking and realized that red card and hallucination are a synergy

[fair vine]

My deck may not have enough scaling tho

[wise dragon]

Is rental blueprint worth it when I only have non-scaling jokers?

[stark karma]

Oh yeah?

[hasty harness]

okay hes the egg master

💔

[stark karma]

My eggs were $99

[hasty harness]

game so mean

i want holo banana 😔

[stark karma]

My other jokers were like 20 bucks each

[fair vine]

Has hiker outlived his usefulness?

(Maybe supernova purchase)

[shy abyss]

nova wont do anything might as well hold onto hiker

[violet bear]

at last, violet got violated

[robust lance]

Don’t say that

[shy abyss]

greedy would do more for your score than nova would when ur scoring is coming from smeared + ancient

[tranquil steppe]

Please be something good to help this crappy hand

Omg omg omg my boi yorick!!!!!!

[pale wolf]

take red card

[safe moat]

Red card is quite literally the cruising king right here because of astronomer no?

[naive jolt]

Judgement being the best like always

[ruby trail]

what do i take here

[pale wolf]

its the best option even without astronomer and all those chips

[pale wolf]

rebate rebate rebate

[tranquil steppe]

Red card is garbage

[pale wolf]

LOL

[safe moat]

But red card only really gets better if the pack doesn’t have anything of the pack has something why would you not skip it

[tranquil steppe]

Skipped that mofo

[safe moat]

Unless people intentionally skip which is sort of a waste of money

[safe moat]

That was kinda dumb

[tranquil steppe]

lol nah

[north schooner]

If you need the +3 mult, it's not a waste of money

[safe moat]

Alrighty

[tranquil steppe]

Not wasting time and money skipping packs

[rough trout]

got my first gold stake win with this

[pale wolf]

red card adds a winning option to every pack in the game, and that option is very often better than what's in the pack
Not to mention that it's a very consistent plus six per round

It's a very good $ to mult ratio

[ruby trail]

the photograph was in the next shop lol

[safe moat]

But some packs are expensive

[north schooner]

Just gonna waste it on rerolls then?

[pale wolf]

photograph isnt that good anyways

[safe moat]

Would you take a mega standard pack?

[pale wolf]

yes? You're still getting $4 of value because you get to take an option from the pack

It's jumbo packs that are bad value with red card, and they're still not that bad compared to other $ to mult scalers

[north schooner]

You don't have to buy them if you can't afford them? Or you can take one card from a mega pack then skip

[safe moat]

Well when is it right to buy them?

[pale wolf]

when it doesn't tank your economy, or when you absolutely need the scoring

[north schooner]

And they give you a better chance at value from the cards in the pack

[pale wolf]

ideally you buy every pack in every shop anyways

[pale wolf]

That's fair yeah

[safe moat]

Okay so if you had red card would you want a hallucination?

[pale wolf]

That's great synergy

[safe moat]

Sweet

[tranquil steppe]

No rerolls

[north schooner]

And if it still doesn't have anything good, you're not out $6 completely

[pale wolf]

I always want hallucination anyways

well not always but its very welcome

[safe moat]

There some times I genuinely just skip the booster packs

[north schooner]

If I had the joker slot. It's just a bonus then.

[safe moat]

So good combo early game

Gotcha

[pale wolf]

there's definitely situations where you don't want to buy all of the packs, even with red card, but generally you want to see as much of each shop as you can and you only get a limited number of booster packs per game

[north schooner]

Red card carries a ton of my games

[pale wolf]

Early game is focusing on gaining interest and even then red card is great without buying both packs every shop

[wintry ice]

bro really wants that lovers and neptune

[pale wolf]

i wanna see @cobalt torrent joker stats

[safe moat]

Okay this might be a hot take but lovers when there are a bunch of them are really scarily good

[pale wolf]

lovers is the weakest tarot imo unless im forgetting something obvious

[shell seal]

[safe moat]

People say it’s tower

[north schooner]

Until you hit 4 of 23 bosses

[pale wolf]

every benefit of lovers is tempered by it getting nuked by 4 boss blinds

[safe moat]

Yeah
