wasted this run on something not golden needle 
Wait till bro gets to golden needle
by keeping your slots full you're ready for anything
Abbreviations are the lifeblood of the balatro server
I have already, I’m not a fan
lol. do i dare?
just the concept of Yorick on Golden Needle makes me want to reset for 500 hours
Download the brainstorm mod?
Glad I'm not subject to the EULA coz I pirated the game
/j
Only in the balatro server can I get away with saying that and not get fragged

for progression I find Brainstorm to be cheating, for high scores etc I don't.
They just want a silly challenge so it’s fine
you aren't subject to the EULA because you were never prompted to agree to it, true! just like all balatro players
I’m not subject to any Eula because I said so under my Eula that I forced steam to sign when I joined
i have an ankh and an ankhdiea
it all makes sense now
im not subjected to the eula because prove in court i agreed to it
Dude I’m shitposting on the balatro server why is my playlist actually playing the most gut wrenching songs
Thats what the /j was for lol but thank you 
do i do it or do i wait
red nebula and checkered
“I hate flashcard”
the only joker i hate is green joker
I’ve not really seen groker hate here
Building a house for my dog in mc while the most despair inducing song by aphex twin is playing in the background
What gives
that and bloodstone
I give
losing my discards makes the game less fun
I will bite your hand that feeds me information
Fair enough
you don't lose them but I understand your perspective
Grimbo it's the most common nickname I've heard, groker slaps tho
I don’t like lobotomy builds and groker certainly is a lobotomy build joker
But it’s the Meta
in a practical sense i kind of do. i don't want to hurt my scaling
the scaling loss is negligible after 2 antes
or a value hit
Atleast we’re lucky Groker doesn’t reset completely
it's not like Bus where you lose face card scoring, you can lose scaling and not be punished that badly.
found a brainstorm after one roll
remember youre just not scaling for a round. not actually losing scaling
once you have a passable amount of mult, + or - 5% of your base mult is negligible compared to the benefit of what you're discarding for
which is whatever
Plus it's not like you're discarding to find a hand, you're usually discarding to get direct value from purple seals or Jokers
i do
Mfs when they at the finisher blind and they accidentally play a queen high card with rtb
usually green Joker games are pairs
bus being able to use discards without punishment and being forced to score faces being really difficult makes it the best though
also its way easier to just take a screenshot than to fucking take a photo
i love bus
we don't want people to use the snipping tool because cropping the context when asking for advice is counterproductive
if you're playing on PC yeah
bus is honestly an attention check rather than an actual downside usually
I'd rather see a room tour than see individual pixels
Me when I ride the bus but the driver who’s name is Jack and is hitting the road has a scary face with four fingers
do you want to see a tragedy
sure why not
guys what do i take here
tylenol
good idea
egg
meds
4Fingers is bad because it allows faces to be scored sometimes when they otherwise wouldn't be 😎
okay what's the plan now
i feel like you still didnt understand that by downloading and buying, you are already subject to the google play TOS and the publishers distribution terms 😭
baron is bait dont take it
just remember my server nickname once this video posts
noted
if green joker reset itd just be a much worse rtb
You have no understanding of how case law affects actual law.
Unless you have been presented with the terms, you aren't subject to them*. There is a lot of precedent for this.
if green joker reset the force discard boss alone makes it like
very significantly worse
what happens when you first open the play store?
you get presented Google Play's TOS
can we stop talking about the damn TOS
this game doesnt wanna give me a mime
Which does not include Playstack's ToS
and the importance of discards
it already kinda sucks having to discard with grimbo
having it reset every time would be a never take
medusa easiest challenge fr (congrats anyways :3)
if it reset but didnt count the boss with force discard it sounds like snova level to me
On abandoned deck is js straight lobotomy
insert yaoi joke here
definitely not supernova level
not even close
mmm supernova
Nah mad world is easiest
we all love supernova
My goat pulled me through all the stakes and funnily enough, it didn't got it's gold seal 
oh I forgot about mad world
i love Balala
yeah mad world is absolute cake
Rich get richer was easier for me
Or mad world
jokerless is not actually hard
then why can't I beat it
(It's because I get bored without Jokers)
the egg one is also easy iirc
and when I'm bored I make mistakes
this is why nebula was my hardest gold sticker instead of black or plasma
you do not know the ‘tro like that
dawg I keep forgetting all of those ones
the most you miss out is midas
balala
i hate nebula
i managed to first try it so the novelty didn't have enough time to run out for me
idk theres a few others
like uh photochad and suskin
if it took me more tries I'd be in the same boat
is balatro capitalistic
did somebody say balala joker Poker, the atemporal inspiration for Balatro?
a wheel hit thr brainstorm i love tjis game
it has to the moon, but it also has raised fist
it is unclear
just photo 👅
EVEN THEN, we still have these things by the google play tos that we have agreed to
isnt raised first inspired by black lives matter
to the moon (one of the worst econ jokers in the game)
raised fist (solid early game carry)
no 😭
it has the same picture
to the moon is fine econ wdym
Endless mode is late stage capitalism
im confused what happened
Hi guys
raising a fist is not so unique as to only belong to blm, and It's a pretty common symbol for communism/ socialism
i mean
i think its a fine card
but compared to most other econ
hello buddy
golden jimbo if it had a floor and ceiling
to the moon makes 5 dollars at base with max interest which is very slightly better than golden joker for a condition you already do
its +$5, its at least better than golden
oh ok
I was in .5 speed, 3 voucher tags, went into shop, exited by accident, and....
you likely won't use photochad on a bus run
econ is econ. you pick up econ
You always use photochad
only aftet the first 3rd of the game
Nebula is a big nothing burger, some times my most played hand ain't even the one that scores so I'm just stuck with 1 less consumable and no upsides
photochad uses hand mult anyways its kinda a rough xmult transition out of any flat mult scaling by nature
Y'all is there a way to save this run
yeah I really hate it
Also only getting 1 card from emperor/high priestess is ass
I think that's bricked? if re-entering the game doesn't fix it
if i'm on a scaling mult run, there's not as much reason to pivot to something that's more vulnerable to boss blinds and card draws
gimme the planet voucher downside instead of the -1
it also, unlike basically every other econ joker in the game, doesn't help you come back if u have to spend down
nebula could just drop the downside other decks get more than 1 situationally good voucher with no downside
Ig don't exit/open the game in .5x
nah let it start with crystal ball
still confused but love the sv pfp
overstock planet merchant and tarot merchant all at once on another deck but a voucher you have to setup has a big downside
magic deck is a huge slap in the face to nebula
The fact that it doesn’t help you build up to interest cap early game makes it a little worse overall than golden joker and by the time you have it online you maybe could be doing more with other value generators
i use neither
Still great though
this is only assuming that you pick it up in the first quarter of the game, if for the rest of the game it is always better and early game is only marginally worse how could it be worse overall
most decks are tbf
Is balatro made on spaghetti code?
yes
Ah
its even worse when you consider that the best overall voucher (grabber) has no downside too when its a deck
it does help, just not as much as golden. it's the same as golden at $20 and only better above that.
from $19 and under, it's worse than golden.
All of the Joker effects are a giant if/else statement from what ive heard
nebulas downside might be a carryover from an older version where telescope was better maybe?
especially considering you can still get grabber on blue
is grabber the best voucher? my intuition is that the reroll one is better a large amt of the time
you know its a good game if the codebase is held together by duct tape and an indie devs hopes and dreams
shop reroll?
yeah cheap reroll
it used to be that you'd get a planet pack (2 options) at the end of a shop, but that was AGES ago
yes because it alleviates the stress of harder decks and late game grievance
nahh grabber is massive
still random planets?
Jesus
grabber is one of the three vouchers you should basically always take ante 1
the other two being overstock and paintbrush
I can't always afford overstock
i do not buy this
idt any voucher fits that description tho
"if you can take it" is implicit
I can only afford grabber if it requires me to sell something
i didn't know paintbrush was that good
but like, paintbrush and grabber I will go significantly below interest threshold for and I won't for overstock
blep
also yeah actually paintbrush is better than grabber/reroll cost amyways probably?
grabber can help recover that money you bought it for which is like big
other two I usually pass
so the only way you can be not subject to google's TOS and are therefore allowed to modify files and like reverse engineer etc etc. is pirating the game...
...which is also copyright infrigement & creating a derivative work without authorization
absolutely not
not all builds will profit off of paint brush unlike grabber
i do love shop reroll voucher though
I'm salty
especially right away*
clearance sale is something I take more frequently than I think about it
I was never arguing that it was okay to modify, I was arguing against Playstack's ToS being relevant given you never agree to their terms.
discount voucher is okay but I'm still kind of torn on whether temperance value loss is a big factor in it
purchasing power goes up proportional* to sell value going down because the cost of buying things also goes down
you are dead
*sell value is rounded down
Because ante 1-4 is where flat econ generation is most impactful and by 5+ you will have snowballed flat econ into scalable econ (deck fixing for value generator cards, building into high-ceiling econ jokers like) and $5 eor being bigger than $4 eor doesn’t matter that much because neither is very good compared to the opportunity cost of a joker slot.
Seed money and money tree change the calculus a lot and put ttmoon solidly into A tier but I have golden joker as higher by default because it has a larger window of usefulness.
so if something cost $4 and you take discount, then the cost goes down to $3 but the sell value goes from $2 (1/2) to $1 (1/2 rounded down)
You will die like the tale of Icarus
if you arent at interest cap by the end of ante 3... oof
start of ante 3 is typically when I'm at $20+, which is when it's at or better than goker's econ
theres also bbc value on ttm
what does this mean overall
that discount voucher is always good?
also costs $1 less
no, that wasn't what I was saying at all
jeez i didnt even know that off the top of my head
do i copy mime or baron
balatro 1.1 is only 1 shower away🔥
it's that temperance value is never really "lost" outside of when sell value goes from an even -> odd increment, and for bull/boots/interest
assuming that all the Jokers I buy are after the discount voucher, right?
there's also swashbuckler
you didn't lose temperance value if you didn't though
Baron assuming your kings have a red seal
they do
Oh then copying baron is fine then
ponder is the name of my new generative ai search engine that generates an image of an alternate universe google search page
this would only matter for how much $ you'll get back from selling it proportional to how much it cost to purchase
Hold on are they mostly gold or steel cards tho
If theyre mostly steel copy mime
steel
oh
okay thanks
Youre welcome 
I really do hope that nebula gets the direct downside removed in 1.1
I don’t think I would sacrifice more than $2 of interest (accounting for in-round generation). I think it’s generally very good but can be harmful when you generate many (say 4-5+) tarot cards per round and is actively bad with specifically dagger and vagabond
どうして...
it isn't bad with vagabond necessarily
wait what did you do on the flint
not inherently at least
did 4oaks just clear it
I had level 3 straight so that plys 2 1.5x cleared
malatro
to me its that grabber is kind of just a stats upgrade whereas paintbrush lets you play in a qualitatively different way
I wonder if you are guaranteed to pull a straight with nine discards and a hand size of six
probably
Chances are likely to pull a straight but it was rough.
Didnt get to fix my deck to help my odds tho
The raised fist, as a symbol of solidarity, has its roots in labor movements, around the turn of the 20th century, and it was adopted by the black power movement in the 60s, which predates BLM by about 50 years and was its direct influence.
it really isn't that bad generally. unless you have something that relies on a flat $ scaling or sell value (bull/boots/dagger/swash) or when sell value goes from even -> odd, you aren't losing value.
purchasing power goes up but $ generation doesn't outside of temperance, and temperance relative value increases slightly lower than proportional to the cost decreasing because of sell $ being 1/2 buy price rounded down
with optimal pulls? definitely
with bad pulls? i think you can draw 10-K initially and then just never pull a A or 9
what the fuck are you doing
well there goes the idea of having evil versions of every Joker
sock and buskin
I wont accept this raised fist slander
does that explain well enough
seed with straight focused jokers exc. shortcut and 4F that always bottom decks 10s and 5s
i mean anti raised fist could just be like. a downward fist
It's not slander?
lowered fist 😭
should i remove anything for throwback? should i buy the voucher?
I kinda wish we could get legendaries from joker packs
and nein
AIGHT
do i voucher here
low toes
ok yeah ur right its not guaranteed with 9 discards and 6 card hand bc of this
evil raised fist is just Grabber
maybe it's the peace tea logo
Ope yea I forgot about swash and also riff raff…
I still think it’s very good but in the first 3 antes I value establishing interest more for the most part. I will spend down to 0 for it early if I have a red card or a campfire tho
Ante 14 without max interest 🥀
hm what do i even do
no reason not to
Oh my fault
true
where the fuck are your gold cards
they're all red seal steels
yea but like you could have a thousand
clearly you didn't have a lot of Econ gen because you've spent basically no money that shop and you're under max interest
you get a blunder emoji reaction for that one
if you're looking for photo showman is reducing your chances of seeing it
aw man
your deck should be full of red seal gold (and maybe steel)
we’ve lost the plot here i was asking for some help
i heart balatro
They're saying that the nazi salute is the evil version of the fist, as it was created in reaction to it, and thus we can't have the evil version in the game because that would be a bad idea.
At least that's my reading on it.
decision making help
I don't think about temperance too much given guaranteed value versus finding a certain tarot. I also hold consumables a lot so idk how that ties in given I get rewarded for doing it more often (being less expensive)
This is correct
After big blind
kinda but also its pretty important help tp teach about importance of econ
aye
hold r and come back with a couple thousand dollars
yeah buddy that doesnt work im not on my computer
actually I think holding r (keyboard key) works on every platform
:^)
connect a keyboard
i dont have one
free blueprint from skip tag 
Wait I wonder if I can on-screen keyboard reset
temperance value isn't affected unless you go from an even -> odd increment for the buy price, or you have boots/bull/swash/dagger. outside of that, it's just better to have it than to not.
why did I read that AI conversation all the way back through its origin in Balatro save files?
buy one
how am i supposed to open up the keyboard
it does
Who says Balatro players can't read
I guess mha writer is a communist?
if you connect a keyboard you can hold R
buy me one i wasted my money last week
huh
The part I was tentative on was if every platform can have a keyboard connected to it
Xbox, mobile and PS can; the only one idk about is switch
well that didnt really matter
I mean if GameCube had an entire keyword controller switch should at least let you connect Bluetooth keyboards right
heh
Oh it's not a bad conversation, it's just a colossal waste of my time to read through an hour's worth of discord
nice
don't their new joycons come with a mouse
they are mice
And yet I feel compelled.
yea
You can connect a keyboard on switch for text inputs only, it seems.
holy shit it's Freddie pairs
if Balatro on Switch kept M&KB support then it should work on it though
it's a dev decided thing not a switch-doesnt-let-you thing
hmm
I think playstack does all the ports so idk
so we can blame whoever ported it either way
wtf is nintendo doing
see i got my econ up
so close yet so far
what a shop
Nintendo is extremely NIH

that sucks holy
Probably great with the yellow deck
okay so there are no credits for the person(s) who ported it to switch
so we don't know who to harass smh /j
I would still take the Buffoon pack first on yellow
That's the greatest part about ccibpt
It's usually also the natural next option anyways
real
so you'd likely run into it naturally if it were the case
credit card prob has one of the largest mentions:usage ratios on the server
not sure what to do with fools and uhh double tag
which is strange considering PS, Xbox, Android, iOS and Mac all have credits for who ported to those platforms
idk
credit card is actually useful sometimes
sixth sense isnt mentioned as much but i also probably use it like 2% as much
uhh i think i have a good flush build
no levels on flush btw
That just tells me it's a mystery Nintendo programmer who got pulled out the cryochamber to port yet another game to switch
credit card is also rarely detrimental to take outside of rental/eternal because it's $1, so you can just sell it for what it cost you
SRE looking at anomaly reports: "why is there a huge spike in bloodstone mentions every 6 hours???"
seed is LDK7ZQTL
help anyone?
and buying it is rarely going to put you under an interest bracket
i dont really even have planet levels i should somehow fix that
never, unless it's eternal or you forgot about it
with yellow deck white stake you can get all 3
IT JUST KEEPS GOING UP
I mean that losing $1 is rarely going to do so, if you sell credit card before the next round ends then of course
wow poly mask is mezmerizing
whoa it almost looks like hologram where the face is separate
still dont know what to do
I will sometimes take seance on painted deck
stupid hologram always hiding its rental sticker
me: why is my money draining?
the enigmatic rental hologram:
chat who should i swap for this?? or should i even swap??
no
no ok
foil astronomer, perishable blueprint, rental midas and rental hologram walking into the club:
i really think i could get this run in the e ranges but i have too little experience
perishable blueprint aka negative cola copy
x(9/4)^3 > x2
Perishable blueprint is such a dang kick in the teeth
ancient joker
only if you had a free slot or a flat mult joker you could sell
Just.. calculate?? 😭
too late
some people dont wanna do maths
Perishable rental blueprint is better than perishable nonrental blueprint
it was far worse than ancient anyway
Yeah but it’s not even that hard tho
there's a website for that
yeah
x1.5 with blueprint per card and hanging chad is way better than x2 per hand
oh so you can do maths
tribe stinks
It's easier than this if you estimate 1.5^2 as x2. two hits of the AJ are worth as much or more than the tribe
possibly
So even without the blueprint it wouldn't be worth trading Chad
grog when the hunters and gatherers come back sweaty
get rid of one chad if you're going baron
nothing wrong with asking for peer review
It actually like kind of depends on the bus but also one glass card and you definitely blown the bus out of the water by a mile
dna would be useful too tho
a chad
to actually get the kings
hallucination value
to get more kings i mean
then drop both chads
alright then nuke the other chad too
what would be the correct order with blueprint?
then again asking if i should swap was kinda stupid i got enough chips from a 2 level flush to beat violet vessel in one hand
its at 570k rn
also bus is at nothing
eh, never stupid to ask what's optimal
copy baron for score then mime for money
i dont care about the bus ngl
Count your (re)triggers and scoring events
its just taking up space
Y'all
What's the hardest deck to gold stake
black
by far
it's not even close
Agree
thank you blobster
Spent a long ass time on it
@lament crater you need to move your BP to mime after the scoring starts in case you have gold cards in your hand so you get more money
yeah ig
Never doing that shit again
No problem C++²
Abandoned deck was also annoying to gold stake
:3
abandoned is top 3 decks so that's odd
i found green deck unreasonably difficult
Abandoned deck ante 1 experience is a bummer but saturn card go brrr
Abandoned top 3?
More like earth
whats the other two
better balala players taught me that the full house exists
Who doesn't full house with abandoned at ante 1
I am now also a better balala player
Green feels like the biggest difficulty jump from orange to gold
blue > yellow > abandoned...
do you guys think ill be able to beat violet vessel? just maybe
Yellow?
okie dokie
yes
absolutely
It's just 10 dollars
10 dollars is pretty good
How do you have it over red or zodiac
because Econ is the biggest hurdle in the early game, and where runs struggle the most is the early game
- Plasma Deck
- Ghost Deck
- Black Deck
endless tierlist
And I thought checkered was top 1
this is not true
nebula deck on top
that is just wrong
this is absolutely true
whats your bottom three decks
lies and slander
black, plasma, nebula
I just like chips
which ones where plasma and nebula again
nebula is telescope
and black deck gold stake is fun for the challenge
do you have a complete deck list numbered from 1 to 15 on consistency
and -1
balance and x2, telescope and -1 consumable
consumable
also ghost deck is almost always a fun time
Oh
Nebula, green, checkered
yippee 
Shew. Haven't even reached the ante 1 boss blind
hate to break it to you but checkered is NOT bottom 3
it can set up nicely for strushes
Unless you are doing seeded naneinf then yeah plasma sucks
castle value
literally easy 2 antes???
Checkered is like top 5
beat my first challenge run
Deck is premade
why is brainstorm more common than blueprint
why would you be doing seeded naminf
congrats
Oh don’t get me wrong those are not what I think the 3 hardest decks are
plasma is goated
thx
Don't ask me never did it
Shop after ante 1 boss blind
imo it does get overshadowed by the econ/fixed decks more but in the better half of the decks for sure
I just hate checkered
checkereds strength is just near trivial first 2 antes where some decks have scoring troubles with nothing
All you have to do with checkered is enhance the cards
Also easy bloodstone setup
not really true
theres more to it
in terms of gstake
imagine building for bloobstone
I HATE BLOODSTONE
I'm on my phone but I'd ping Kami's bloodstone message
If checkered deck had diamonds instead of hearts it wouldn’t be in my bottom 3
Out of all the gstakes checked has been my easiest one
Bro
diamonds are like a worse suit tho
i think yellow took me the longest but only because it was the first one i tried
buh
I don't like diamonds either
Y'all acting like oops all 6s doesn't exist
in some runs yes
meet potential man!
Rough gem is the best suit joker
me when I get to choose my jokers
you cant guarantee you get oops
It gives you money
😭 🙏
"consistency"?
I rank them based on how good they are for winning gold stake ants 8 typically, which is basically what their consistency is, I just wanna know if you mean something different.
for reference here's my 1-15:
blue > yellow > abandoned > zodiac > checkered > red > ghost > magic > erratic > anaglyph > green > painted > nebula > plasma > black
if you NEED another joker to make one joker work, it's not a good joker
Fair play
yeah that's what I meant
yeah but its just weird ig?
I beat orange stake black deck with a rough gem bootstraps deck
one red seal instantly triples my chips 
erratic higher than anaglyph is interesting
we always plauy the seed how it is presented to us anyways
so this would work
consistency of drawing a five of a kind in the first round
duh
erratic gives you a fixed deck to play around with while anaglyph is at worst a standard... deck...
at best you gain some value off of like 2 skips
it makes the early game more consistent as higher hands are easier to score
I can't agree more, my anaglyph experience was boring ASF
it was worse than abandoned deck, so much so that I started liking abandoned deck
erratic is never worse than an unfixed deck
is it higher on average?
yes
I am so biased on anaglyph because it’s really interesting in pvp which makes me like it more in general
probably fucked
is what higher on average, and compared to what
this is why baron is ass
i really dont follow pvp
Also the card backs look nice
first ante scoring
yes it is
one shots, discarding
certain 5 card hands
ik 450 is easy
unsure about fh frequency
anaglyph is an unfixed deck, erratic is a fixed deck.
erratic is never worse than an unfixed deck, and is sometimes better, so it MUST be better on average
because straights are not an option and idk the variance of how much erratic deck can change
they are an option
shit
Triboulet is my health manager
Triboulet is all
dont need to build for straights on erratic
erratic doesn't make straights impossible typically, they are an option.
my favorite final boss
I would just assume they're worse as an option on average with needing to search higher ranks and with it's nature of deck fixing
I love the violent vessel
photochad of doom
still ante 1 btw
the most common way to disable straights would be to remove all 5s and 10s, which would inflate the other ranks
i'm thankful that i have like 10 glass cards
nice run
fun too
seed if anyone wants it 
theres no n 🙂
you should get a chicot
I love the violent vessel
one time i sold a blueprint for a luchador

right but full houses are easier if straights are worse, and flushes are independently affected
violent vessel is the worst ante 8 boss
your pfp is my reaction
I mean i did worse
for some people sure
the violent vessel has never posed an issue for me
yea
and I have died to the wall more times than that dude
I belived matador was usefull
i literally had to i was going into the plant on a facecard build
this is why baron is ass
so im taking joker synergy variance has little to no weight to this right or no
i had no other means of scoring and all my jokers were doing too much to sell
it was either selling a blueprint or selling a trib
the one permanent xmult that i find is one that i literally can't use since all my jacks are dead
i found another one the next ante anywas 😂
Blueprint is all
it has very little weight
Blueprint is life
ight I see the light
okay Vic you might actually be cooked
wilted flower emoji
Rather sell the trib
yorick next reroll
less than double tags?
would a luchador help
Blueprint my love
I don't understand the question
um what these numbers are too much for me to comprehend
score
actually i can save myself if i find another king
glass and steel will help
good luck
chips X mult and the number above is resultant score
number big ahh help cant understand
7 billion
joker variance versus skip tag variance affecting the decks placement
make steel red seal
that seems a little much
and gold red seal
??? giving the number a name doesn't make it easier to comprehend
itd not
and you can read it right there
first ever e!
a little much of what
it was a joke..
aka 100bill i think
sometimes letters are easier than a string of numbers
chips
it wasn't clear, plus I'm autistic
nah
i agree it wasnt clear
you can always have more
idk i thought it was kinda clear but oki 
fucking hell
I would like more violent vessel
i should have went in with duo probably
kek
vitamin vessel
erm actually a string can contain letters and symbols too
and ?
idk
it wasnt, you just talk like that normally
"string of numbers"

im just being obnoxious
I know
I know
:3
oh yeah thats true
oh well
double tags affect the early game very little, and later on you're way less likely to want to skip normally anyway so I would say that a randomly fixed deck is better than anaglyph yes
if i have a seed from one deck (ex: a challenge run) will it stay the same on other decks?
Me when I’m making a friendship bracelet
yes
yes, excluding decks that affect pools (like zodiac and ghost)
so if i take a seed from a challenge deck and put it on say a blue deck it works?
nice
yah
yippee
will it be enough?
cool 
maybe
oh yeah I forgot why you switched blue and yellow back again
it was and now i finally get red seals
erratic is always better than 52 card standard right
hand level?
o
I was always a believer of yellow > blue until I streaked on mobile for a while and then I put blue > yellow
I never changed anything back
i love free blueprint :3
i love making terrible decisions and being rewarded for it :3
"free" and we're ignoring the opportunity cost of skipping:
typa shit that would be captioned “here, win” on reddit
i think yellow deck is worse than blue because whenever i play it i get the most fucked up losing runs imaginable
definitely not skill issue
dies from card draw
seance would be best if it was rental here
sadly you're on white stake
okay
the buffoon pack

this was me except I did the opposite and streaked on pc
dies from bad baboon packy
I got a lot better in ~400 hours, surprisingly /s
oh wait ws blue deck whatever
no one saw this coming
not even kyle
how many hours do you have
Blueprint-triboulet-hanging chad
at least 4 c++ worth of hours
and here is where i die
533 tracked on steam, then ~250 on mobile and ~50 on switch
230hrs and I got C+
ive got ~180 (?)
not even 1000, noob
I got my C++ on Steam circa 170 hours
well i did hit my goal of grtting my first e so i am happy, time to stop for the day
or you just haven't been gunning for achievements
or both
it's okay we're all ass at some point
this too
tbh I think I've spent at least 100 hours playing plasma gold stake
this is true
only recently did I try getting C+ because I wanted the shiny achievement on steam
average balala player
i may be over 1k hours in
I have no idea but I think I won, very well could've lost though
given how long I went streaking
almost 2 years ago now, and ~900 hours of playtime later
im proud bc i had never seen the game before
only tangentially heard
normal balatro gameplay
it took me like 80h
i forget, does two copies of ttm stack
but i skipped C+
yeah that's fair
not needing 120 wins is a big time save
yes
yea mine included c+, i did everything in one sweep
may i ask why’d dusk there lol
my C++ didn't include Flushed though so
me neither lol
idk i just found it
i still havent jokerless
I wish you could skip all the nothing stakes for C+ and just do white and gold
Orange stake the WOAT
yea that's why i skipped c+
because i felt playing every deck on red stake sounded tedious
no RB? L
jokerless is so boring
for only 10 us dollars? sign me up
individual who has never beat jokerless:
ive beaten nebula and its boring
i haven't completed most challenges either lol
okay
is white not a nothing stake
I like jokerless but that’s because I have a saturn card obsession
i mean yeah rhats how much she costs ingame
White stake is like you can just impulsively make stupid plays because they are funny and whimsical
if you can get to gold stake without beating every stake under it then you can already do this
oh yeah i remember that seed.. ☠️
purely on a fun factor what is yall's favourite high score build ?
trick question
glass joker ante 8
ancient joker
wee on plasma
This is coming from playing mostly on mobile and a little on steam and wanting to clean up my steam achievements lol
But like some decks are like bleh and if I can climb on like one deck to get the fundamentals down it would be nice to go straight to gold without having to play 7 games of checkered
honestly ancient joker is a great one
idk i dont play them
i guess aj
it's fun to get going and it ends the fastest
or whatever this is
you can, it's called the Unlock All button
Really big lucky cat
this button felt like cheating
so I've never considered it
if it were cheating you wouldn't be allowed to do it
disables achievements
welp
Does that count for C+?
it disables achievements
at least i get two stickers
if it's disabling achievements, it is cheating.
no?
I mean like I did in fact do that on a different profile for when I want to do gold stake streaks
how is it cheating if it disables achievements? it's that you get achievements for unlocking things, and that button unlocks things artificially, so it disables achievements
the button hust skips that
I'm not being rewarded for reaching the milestone like I normally would
because you didn't reach it like you normally would
pressing a button isnt a milestone
does uhhh
because you cheated
lol

sigh
because you pressed a button to not reach it like you normally would...
if you beat gold stake with gros michel and it just happens to break, do you still get the gold sticker? or break first
you dont get achievements
this is cyclical logic and I will not be a part of your scheme
pressing a button to get what you want can be considered cheating
it doesnt really affect anyone
"can be", not "is"
that is fair
I just don't like things that make things easy in games
if you dont wanna do it dont do it
I don't
I also don't go around calling people cheaters for using it
that is important
also are people talking about unlock all being invalid
Yesy said it was cheating, so idk
that's corny
The pace at which things unlock feels reasonable for a first playthrough (except maybe deck stake wins) but like… kind of tedious when switching platforms
from a personal perspective
please consider this
never thought it was from any other perspective
the game is ~220 hours long on average (100% achievements), the vast majority of players will never get C++ let alone replay it again to do so
8 ball build
c++ is going by faster than i thought it would ngl
I don't see a problem with this line up
dawwwg why are my lucky cards always so unlucky 🥀
I'm replaying it for my 3rd C++, but I'm also an edge case because I'm autistic and balatro is a special interest of mine
you are dedicated
I applaud you
me too twin
i mean special interest not third c++ thats insane
i ran 9s on abandoned deck and didnt even get a cloud nine 😭
she's like the main source of info check
After I lock down 15-deck gold streak the next thing is c++ deathless
my info check*
oh no hes doing the doc challenge
This took me ~70 hours btw
Lilo taught me that Full house is an option on abandoned deck round 1
bruh how
it's very hard
I told some people that too 😀
figured it out myself
allegedly
i love abandoned deck
you too
unless you think that's short, then idk how I did it so quick
My problem is I play like right before I go to sleep and then I’m like haha go one more and lose 8 decks in because tired brain
I am grateful for all the experienced balala players who made me better
tbf I've only been working on c++ for like 50 hours currently
you should put the worst decks first if you want to minimise time loss btw
next after that is a natural naninf
what deck did you start with
black
ew black deck
cool
doing black deck c++ for self entertainment/improvement
I need to do a straight build soon tbf
haven't snickered any of the jokers for straights
maybe I'll do a highest gs streat
I mixed it up for fun sometimes but for least time lost you should put them in reverse strength order
The other problem is that I start with black and go in order so I end up getting trolled by a stinky painted or plasma
i think the order was one of my first
first or second i believe
I just did rotating without a thought
that probably was the better option
did you complete 15-deck gold stake streak?
definitely not for time loss, but if it's what keeps you engaged then that's perfectly alright
on this profile
I had another one for independent deck streaks but that save got bricked
profile*
I did it across each stake so I also had white through purple 15-deck streaks
I considered that on this save and just did one deck at a time and resetting on gold
my highest streak ever is 31 because of white -> red -> green
diddyblud
died on plasma green cause I didn't think
whoa
Did someone do the math for whether you see more or fewer jokers on zodiac?
new high score
nice
You see more
Yes, you get more
hold on
just go on balatro wiki
I love 8 ball
@smoky merlin can I get a lawyer's answer
below average 8 ball
have you tried returning it and getting a new one
i can pin things
thank you lawyer
also i'm not your lawyer we don't have ac priv sorry
quhhh
maybe
balatrowiki.org is officially linked in the server 🤷♂️
WHAT I gave you money 😭
molecule
ac priv goes both ways don't tell people that
I thought we didn't have ac priv
damn i just got lawyered
imagine the game adds a wiki button on main menu
I will not
you involuntarily did
binding of isaac finally added item descriptions
you just lost the game
actually my version makes it so I win when I think of the game
balatro?
thank you, another victory under my belt
I didn't
i hate it because i have the mod and the text ends up overlapping
i just won your game too then
Buffoon pack or save for grabber?
i need to disable the mod
you think ppl here gonna use that
you're welcome, i'm here to serve
virus
more context
but you did the second time
I didnt
greedy
a true pubic servant
this is why context matters
ew
excuse me
l*
pulic saver
take ccibpt and then grabber
gideon's trumpet the famous book about checks notes pubic defenders?
why do you have notes
nerd
Feels like save for next shop, then decide
so you're an AWPer
i like scoring
i always liked the scout better
I like winning so I wouldn't do that
scoutzknivez 1v1 me
Wrathful for one hand then sell?
No
I would take greedy
if not greedy then the buffoon, but I would take greedy
not a very good one when greedy has been presented though
eternal greedy feels like a waste
living is a waste ig
taking the eternal greedy gives you the best odds of winning there
