or personal

[terse dock]

[winter pike]

game dev by day politician by night

[smoky merlin]

[terse dock]

Fuck

[lament crater]

um im gonna need a charisma roll from you?

[smoky merlin]

you have a monkey from earthbound so you're a reasonable person

[lament crater]

roll a d20 please

[smoky merlin]

please roll a d20, i agree

and add your CHA modifier

[minor portal]

with disadvantage

[winter pike]

oo

[lament crater]

you fail

[winter pike]

that aint great

[smoky merlin]

unfortunately the score to beat was a 21 because we were doing a contest so

yes, it's against the rules

[terse dock]

Time me out for 3 hours

[simple bronze]

bruh

how do i lose this

[smoky merlin]

frick you i won't do what they tell me

[terse dock]

Failed roll

[manic talon]

Failed a cha check, mods ban em

[minor portal]

one week take it or leave it

[lament crater]

how funny would it have been it you rolled a nat 1

[terse dock]

Leave

[lament crater]

actually

[unreal island]

Brodie can everything not be perishable

[lament crater]

can we combine DND and balatro please

[winter pike]

do i win

[minor portal]

the jimbo is not perishable

[rigid forge]

C++ hunt is real, some weird ahh builds

[lament crater]

you rolled multiple times

your total is 23

and you rolled a 20

[unborn cliff]

oh no verdant leaf

[smoky merlin]

yes, you may foment insurrection

[alpine basalt]

if a perishable card is debuffed when you win does it still sticker it?

[lament crater]

so you rolled a 3 before

[winter pike]

it's my charisma modifier

[hardy fable]

yes

[alpine basalt]

sick

[winter pike]

yayyyy

thanks

[lament crater]

can we have a joker that actively lets you make d20 rolls please

[alpine basalt]

we love to see this card is an already won gold stake run

[terse dock]

Daww fuck I failed the saving throw

To the gallows I go

[unreal island]

Wow dude game rly making me work for this permanent +mult sourcr

[minor portal]

minus fifteen huh

[winter pike]

what would it do

[lament crater]

holdon lemme get my rogue build out

[terse dock]

In Canon I cannot speak english

[unborn cliff]

SON

[terse dock]

use wicked slice -1 on vonnegut

[alpine basalt]

NOOOO THE PLANT WHAT AM I GONNA DOOOOO

its so over

my hard earned face card build

[minor portal]

I think.... you should play your face card.

[lament crater]

im cooked

charisma saving throw it is

[alpine basalt]

I did.... it was wierd, nothing happened....

[terse dock]

75 acc 3% crit chance

[winter pike]

thats rough

[terse dock]

wait wicked slice -1 is just worse leper chop

[lament crater]

fuck you game

[tacit quail]

who likes my god awful build

ante 4

[terse dock]

yall fw darkest dungeon

[winter pike]

thats pretty rough

[lament crater]

DM is fed up with us, thats why no more sessions

[minor portal]

flash card is surely one of the best jokers of all time

[unborn cliff]

so tuff

[lament crater]

Who would know that someone can fail to cast Fireball twice

and have it hit his own party member

[winter pike]

one of my friends set our ship on fire

[manic talon]

Xmult at home

[winter pike]

it was great

[tacit quail]

You know how it is

[lament crater]

i hit a nat20 on a 1 hp mob, was a bit overkill

[tacit quail]

i dont wanna sell my 2nd flash card but it might be optimal

😢

[minor portal]

1.5 x mult

[winter pike]

just a little overkill

[manic talon]

Selling one flash card is optimal which is funny

[marsh dove]

I love how unnecessary that second flash card is

Actively worse scoring

[lament crater]

cutely slices mob into a thousand pieces

[tacit quail]

yeah i just picked up stencil rn

before any selling

[lament crater]

hold on dexterity roll

[tacit quail]

optimal is flashcard then bp stencil right

for x2 x2

[lament crater]

ofc now i roll good

its the only thing i can roll good on

[winter pike]

how lovely

[marsh dove]

Optimal also probably involves selling chaos when scoring needed

[tacit quail]

yeh but hes my scaler

[marsh dove]

No way your chips hurting that bad

[tacit quail]

either way this is green deck

no need to save money

[marsh dove]

Yeah

[lament crater]

based on what number you roll you get a bunch of different effects

[marsh dove]

I somehow didn’t clock that

Fair

[winter pike]

i see

gambling

i like it already

[tacit quail]

not bad

[marsh dove]

And you 2.25x that the second you sell chaos

Nice

[lament crater]

nat 1 just declines your score

[winter pike]

thats funny

nat 20?

just win the blind?

[lament crater]

i actually dont know what to do with nat 20

actually

maybe

but make oops incompatible with the d20

it wouldnt work either way actually

[winter pike]

i mean it's not a listed thing yeah

[lament crater]

every number has the equal chance of happening

[violet sparrow]

is merry andy good or should i madness?

[winter pike]

oops makes it roll with advantage

madness

[lament crater]

actually fire

[winter pike]

wait what stake

[winter pike]

im something of a genius myself

[terse dock]

What game is this

[winter pike]

dnd

[terse dock]

What version of dnd is this

[winter pike]

idk

[lament crater]

app is dnd beyond

[tacit quail]

i am not joking you but verdant leaf is going to increase my scoring

[lament crater]

my DM uses it for our sessions

[white zodiac]

dnd beyond

[violet sparrow]

white

[lament crater]

cultured person i see

[winter pike]

yeah dont madness

[violet sparrow]

oops

[tacit quail]

Verdant Leaf does NOT know what is about to hit it when i sell my clown

[white zodiac]

[winter pike]

it's fine i suppose but not great

it's good on black stake+ where you can find eternal jokers

[tacit quail]

lol selling clown doubled my score

peak

epic 3/5 joker run

now for next stake 👍

[lament crater]

i cant wait till my thunderbolt cable arrives and i'll be able to play balatro soundtrack theough these monitor packs (true balatro gamer setup)

[terse dock]

Wish I had a dm

[tacit quail]

94 mult flash card ❤️

[white zodiac]

say no more

[lament crater]

can me join campaign pls

[terse dock]

No thanks

[white zodiac]

oh ok

[lament crater]

wow how rude salsa

[terse dock]

Wish I had a dm i knew relatively

[white zodiac]

busy tn

[unreal island]

Yeah or no

[lament crater]

sals

salsa

[terse dock]

Yes?

[alpine basalt]

another deck and 6 more stickers down

[proven gulch]

Madness is even better before because of the absurdly low scoring requirements

[lament crater]

please roll a d20 death saving throw for me

[winter pike]

smartest r/balatro user

[terse dock]

Advantage or disadvantage

[winter pike]

i suppose so

[white zodiac]

scaling on boss blinds

[unreal island]

Tbf if theyre new theyd probably not know rhe nuances of scoring timings

[proven gulch]

shouldn't have skipped but it's a free 2.25x mult

[ripe iris]

stupid ass vessel

[lament crater]

do you have beacon of hope or the durable feat?

[terse dock]

I rolled a nat 20 anyway

[winter pike]

lmao

[unreal island]

True, i had a throwback ante 1 but i sold it in order to ankh my ancient

[lament crater]

hotdamn

[proven gulch]

top 1% poster

[unborn cliff]

you wouldnt have won anyways son 💔

[unreal island]

-276

[lament crater]

-276 is mad

[ripe iris]

i tried to go for a photochad pivot plus glass because my setup wouldnt have won

[proven gulch]

throwback isnt worth it to skip for ever after green stake

[unreal island]

Brodie thinks it gives +10 mult when a hand containing two pair is played

[ripe iris]

i wouldve scored over 400k if i hadnt tried to pivot

[unborn cliff]

ah yes

photochad

[unborn cliff]

with eternal supernova

[shell current]

just trying to play pairs like a decent human being and then the game gives me this slop... disgusting

[unborn cliff]

very smart!

[ripe iris]

alr had chad and found a photo

[lament crater]

can we add csgo trading please

[ripe iris]

i figured if i found glass that might be enough

it was my best hope

[lament crater]

sacrifice 5 rare jokers for a legendary joker

[ripe iris]

i couldnt have won with my original setup

[unborn cliff]

noob

[ripe iris]

i alr had decent planet leveling

[unborn cliff]

just get hologram

[ripe iris]

????

there wasnt a hologram

[unborn cliff]

cool omen globe

[ripe iris]

if i had found it i would have taken it

[lunar zealot]

deja v

[unborn cliff]

then find one duh

[white zodiac]

alternatively

[ripe iris]

i was trying bro

[ripe iris]

shops werent on my side

[lunar zealot]

ectogasm

[unreal island]

Omg chat egg dagger synergy

[proven gulch]

i said not worth skipping for

[unborn cliff]

👍

[ripe iris]

card sharp was the only xmult i found throughout the entire run

[winter pike]

then they cant play five cards

[ripe iris]

with ancient joker 🥀

[lunar zealot]

yuh

just sell stuntman

[proven gulch]

just fullskip bro

[pale wolf]

is stuntman compatible with four fingers

[barren wigeon]

would've beaten my first gold stake run if it wasnt violet vessel

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[barren wigeon]

all good ig

[ripe iris]

why wouldnt it be

[white zodiac]

exactly

[white zodiac]

I wouldn't try

[pale wolf]

because if you minus two hand size then get four fingers that's like only two fingers left

[winter pike]

#843

[ripe iris]

flush and straights with only 2 cards 😭

[white zodiac]

we could sacrifice a few kids

[winter pike]

why didnt i think of that

[serene forge]

pale king be like

[spiral glade]

hehehe

[winter pike]

this is crazy work

[unborn cliff]

wait i can take another ecto now if i find handsize vouchers

[unborn cliff]

hatred naneinf

[ripe iris]

did the math and if i had found glass i probably couldve won

[ripe iris]

at least way better odds than trying to beat vessel with a single xmult

[white zodiac]

rounding up is fair game

[unborn cliff]

hate. let me tell you how much i've come to hate since you since i began to live.

[pale wolf]

That's nearly 4,000 results

[winter pike]

how much love? mine just says nan and idk why

[shell current]

ggvv

[proven gulch]

90949

[unborn cliff]

love. let me tell you how much i've come to love you since i began to live.

[willow frost]

wait no way lmao

[winter pike]

balatro players love more than they hate

how wonderful

[unreal island]

Looks inside

Time to die to verdant leaf!

[proven gulch]

leafmaxxing

[willow frost]

i genuinely thought itd be the other way around by mils

miles

[winter pike]

me too lmao

[willow frost]

very cool, balatro players

[proven gulch]

eternal const is throwing

[winter pike]

very cool indeed

[torpid yacht]

What would you do here? Taking sock? If so which joker you getting rid of?

[proven gulch]

remember to take a negative skip if you see one

[winter pike]

it's photo so chad is better with it

[median ridge]

Photograph.

[torpid yacht]

Getting rid of photo for sock?

[unborn cliff]

sock is worse

[proven gulch]

replace chaddington with worse chaddington

[winter pike]

no

[unreal island]

Aw man

[unborn cliff]

sock actively makes you weaker

[winter pike]

unless you have glass cards

[shell current]

ok come on do I not get to work for any of these?

[winter pike]

in which case sell a chad

[torpid yacht]

I have a ton of glass

[unreal island]

I'd replace dna

[torpid yacht]

DNA is negative

[winter pike]

sell a chad for a sock then

[torpid yacht]

Thank you all

What do i copy when I play my 4 of a kind?

[white zodiac]

wdym I'd take both

[winter pike]

sock i believe

with full glass

[white zodiac]

and sell hiker before winning hand

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt take hiker here unless i don't one-shot

[torpid yacht]

Thanks again

[white zodiac]

hmm

ideally you'll one shot

the whatever low % you don't uhh

[unreal island]

Bro why'd i unlock jimbo

Is locus thunkitus stupid?

[shell current]

I know I was hoping I'd get an interesting run and not a carry lol

next shop was square GG

[unreal island]

Anyway gg ez my fwends

[white zodiac]

I wouldn't take him on plasma

[lyric shore]

is square a gg on plasma gold stake lol

[white zodiac]

not usually

[proven gulch]

it's not fast enough, but it's really good on any other deck

[proven gulch]

new account

[white zodiac]

your end goal should consist of x mult or hyperscaling chips and x mult

[unborn cliff]

yeah whatever NERD

[proven gulch]

[unborn cliff]

these poors making fun of us for being rich

[proven gulch]

could've been $10 richer

[unborn cliff]

you're 10$ poorer than me still if you cant afford nitro

[proven gulch]

went down $2 in interest stupid

[unborn cliff]

NERD

[eternal anchor]

Negative Vampire! Spooky

[white zodiac]

I got one of those free trial things

[unborn cliff]

bros doing blackface

[eternal anchor]

honest to god sometimes I forget I'm here when I mean to post in #🎙・server-chat

Here's something that actually goes here tho, get Brainstorm or level up my Pair?

[proven gulch]

get brainstorm

holy econ

[tacit quail]

hi guys

It's a very blue kind of day

[violet sparrow]

run going well

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[violet sparrow]

just gotta hope ancient joker doesn't fuck up and pick hearts or diamonds

[cloud sinew]

surely it'll never roll the 2/3...

[rough prairie]

Alright, now I just need to luck into the final legendary joker to unlock them all

[tacit quail]

green deck is funny

[eternal anchor]

lol at Madness

goodbye Misprint nobody liked you even while holographic

[simple bronze]

can i naninf with this?

[willow frost]

absolutely the fuck not

[simple bronze]

why not

i have perko

[mild scaffold]

Probably not

Flush is a really inflexible hand type and it also will not generate anywhere near enough planets

[eternal anchor]

perko

[willow frost]

my bad i didnt see that

yeah probably

[simple bronze]

i have 75 planets

[mild scaffold]

Yeah but it's checkered deck, you need at least 354 planets to naneinf or something like that

I doubt it

[winter pike]

probably not

[lunar zealot]

Your score is already catching up to the blind

[winter pike]

you need 1024 triggers of x2

[lunar zealot]

you won't survive another ante

[winter pike]

so youd need around 1700 ish of x1.5

[lunar zealot]

you're not even on plasma

[willow frost]

you need about 1700

[mild scaffold]

Yeah that

[white zodiac]

when will I stop falling for the engagement bait

[willow frost]

never

[mild scaffold]

When nothing engages you anymore

[lunar zealot]

We're all nerds we play balatro

[willow frost]

at least i wont

[lunar zealot]

bait or not we will still talk about the game

[winter pike]

real

[willow frost]

i dont engage much anymore but when i do its for dumb shit

[simple bronze]

what if i just use my negative planets?

[cloud sinew]

this is why "who cares" is such low tier ragebait

[mild scaffold]

Then you'll due on the spot

[cloud sinew]

like... me! thats why im talking about it :3

[winter pike]

thats even less score

[lunar zealot]

real and true :3

[mild scaffold]

Having +75 levels in flush is nothing compared to 75 triggers of 1.5x

[simple bronze]

but if i get constelation

thats like a bunch of x mult

[winter pike]

...

[lunar zealot]

constell is only one instance

of like x9 sure but

that's far less than x1.5^74

[mild scaffold]

75xmult compares to 16,100,687,809,804.72569xmult?

[lunar zealot]

exponentiation is a powerful powerful thing

[simple bronze]

that doesn't make sense 1.5 * 1.5 is only 1.75

and it gets smaller every time

bc its multiplying half that

[white zodiac]

see what I mean

[lunar zealot]

no it's x2.25

[mild scaffold]

Ok this is kinda bait

Slightly higher quality

[lunar zealot]

1.5 + (1.5/2)

or 1.5 + 0.75

[winter pike]

this is low quality bait

[lunar zealot]

= 2.25

and then the product compounds and compounds by the factor of e

I think

[winter pike]

how could hideo kojima do this

[lunar zealot]

is e used here??

[simple bronze]

oh you are right

[lunar zealot]

it's compounding interest

[simple bronze]

i am bad at math

[tacit quail]

i love baseball card man its a free win

[lunar zealot]

and i dont mean 10^ whatever i mean

euler's number

[median ridge]

It gave you two (2) times mult.

[mild scaffold]

Euler's number isn't something that balatro uses I think

Or I'm tripping or something

[winter pike]

no

it's not

[lunar zealot]

is this an example of compounding interest that thus is calculated with e

Idk im bad at math

[winter pike]

oh right

[lunar zealot]

it's like

[winter pike]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

the base of exponents or whatever

idfk

[winter pike]

it's the exponent

d/dx(e^x) = e^x

∫e^x dx = e^x + c

[simple bronze]

why math not mathing

[willow frost]

+c

gottem

[lunar zealot]

ah right yeah

[winter pike]

i forget it every time

might end it all

[lunar zealot]

lebron james reportedly forgot the constant of integration

[winter pike]

im supposed to be good at maths 🥀

[lunar zealot]

Right yeah hold on

[alpine basalt]

I dunno guys do I take delayed gratification here? seems pretty worth it tbh frfr

[lunar zealot]

a^x = e^x ln(a)

[shell dagger]

e is what you get when you compound interest

[lunar zealot]

There i found it

[shell dagger]

1.33^3, 1.25^4, 1.2^5, keep going you’ll get e

[coral summit]

Uhhhhhhhh

[alpine basalt]

lim n->inf (1 +1/n)^n

[shell dagger]

Ya

[median ridge]

Do it. Econ.

[lunar zealot]

I fucking hate math

[winter pike]

:(

[alpine basalt]

you're right. its too worth it for the econ

[winter pike]

i love maths

[balmy ridge]

how does this work? i get $2 per?

[shell dagger]

1

[lunar zealot]

No it's just guaranteed

[balmy ridge]

ok

[winter pike]

mhm thats definitely how it works

[lunar zealot]

Super guaranteed but that does nothing

[balmy ridge]

thought it'd just show 2 in 2

[lunar zealot]

it's like omega mega guaranteed

There is not a shadow of a doubt

[balmy ridge]

unless i get nuked

[coral summit]

Do I take the invisible

[balmy ridge]

then the game would be over

[lunar zealot]

The best hit is rebate

[coral summit]

…and pray it doesn’t copy stuntman

[lunar zealot]

if it hits stuntman that's really bad

the possbility for a good hit is only 1/5

[balmy ridge]

pray it does copy stuntman

[lunar zealot]

so i'd skip

[willow frost]

if there was to be an oops all 1/6ths, you would still get money every time

[balmy ridge]

question mark

interrobang

[winter pike]

⁉️

[lunar zealot]

this is how it works right ????

[winter pike]

yes

it is

[lunar zealot]

Okay good

[shell dagger]

Remember brackets around the exponent

Could be interpreted as ln(a)*e^x

[pale wolf]

what is the most average joker

[manic talon]

Welp, streak dead at 42

[shell dagger]

Aw bummer

Ggs

[manic talon]

atleast its 40+

[pale wolf]

p good though! youll get there one day!

[winter pike]

half joker perhaps

[pale wolf]

(jk)

big streak

[lunar zealot]

Right right

[pale wolf]

hmm perhaps a candidate

[lunar zealot]

joker number 75

[willow frost]

holy crap

[lunar zealot]

Walkie talkie

[winter pike]

abstract actually

that one feels like the most average to me

[willow frost]

honestly thats a good one

[royal ore]

the thing with merry andy (and stuntman too) is that like
you don't really take them much in the lategame because like losing handsize would probably ruin some of your strategy

[shell dagger]

Blueprint

[royal ore]

idk i just dont like them

[shell dagger]

It’s the average of all compatible jokers

Thinkaboutit

[cursive lion]

true...

[winter pike]

thoughtaboutit

disagree

[royal ore]

jimbo would be the obvious choice

otherwise maybe swashbuckler

[cursive lion]

like in terms of mac dab in the middle personally or statically

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[safe moat]

Who am I replacing

[cursive lion]

damn...

[serene forge]

abstract jonkler

[shell dagger]

Depends on hand levels

[safe moat]

Like zip

[cursive lion]

actually yeah

[winter pike]

#844

[safe moat]

You poor thing

[winter pike]

.

[coral summit]

So I threw all caution to the wind.

Invisible Joker turned into a second Throwback, and I also have The Duo now. Xmult for daaaaays

[winter pike]

idk i think youre the poor thing if you like it

[alpine basalt]

damn they done took grimbo out to the farm

[cursive lion]

what did grimby do

[lunar zealot]

You have 9 hands you're fine

[safe moat]

It’s pretty okay

[serene forge]

I hate Throwback

[lunar zealot]

you could play balatro with your ass and still win

[alpine basalt]

this run was fun lmao

[winter pike]

numero 15

[wintry ice]

hi i just entered the chat

[winter pike]

not really

[shell current]

mult pivot who?

[vocal rose]

smiley

[alpine basalt]

the amount of blue seals I found was hilarious, pretty much every round was +3 levels to pair

[wintry ice]

burger king foot lettuce

[winter pike]

the last thing you want in your burger king burger is someone's foot fungus

[river slate]

Ah yes, average plasma run

[glossy furnace]

mb for playing the game next time i should play solitare instead

[river slate]

[zinc willow]

Yeah. Its all good. Naaa, I've had higher than that on ante 7 on plasma. But I enjoyed this run

[river slate]

[ocean yoke]

oooh

[zinc willow]

Ya been using this user name since 2012. Just easy to remember

[zinc karma]

Knowing i have 6 10s and these 2 fools, should i go for strength/hang man ou should i just get constellation?

[shell dagger]

what a load of bull

[zinc willow]

Constellation is always in my grab list

[shell dagger]

Constellation then using fools for a planet is pretty safe here

[zinc willow]

That and Steele Joker

[novel rain]

Jokers used to clear ante 8: Burglar, Green Joker, the one that gives you mult per how many jokers you have (I think it was Abstract), Shoot the Moon, Bull, and the reserved parking one (probably just called Reserved Parking)

[zinc karma]

Idk, its 3 planets only

Seems like its not a real good use of 2 fools

[zinc willow]

I always fail with reserved parking, that card just does not like me

[nova mantle]

Burglar and grimbo are a goated combo

Congrats

[shell dagger]

Using fools on planets is already a good idea regardless of constellation

[fading cobalt]

Doubt you can snap your fingers ngl

[white zodiac]

three saturns

[novel rain]

Yeah, I found that out quickly

[fading cobalt]

I would say Uno but you prob cant speak spanish either

[white zodiac]

three mercs

[wintry ice]

6 the dollar

[white zodiac]

three anuses

[novel rain]

I only discarded 4 cards

[fading cobalt]

I think you got some money

[nova mantle]

I'm missing 6 decks to gold stake till c+ and they're all the colored decks and erratic

[white zodiac]

whar

[glossy furnace]

the card game

bro is austornimcaly slow

[shell dagger]

What does pocket aces do

[glossy furnace]

im kidding relax now

[fading cobalt]

I think you missed the joke

[zinc willow]

I need to download that multi-player balatro mod

[glossy furnace]

there was a nother joke

[fading cobalt]

Austornimcaly is either a crazy typo or not a word

[wintry ice]

rebate levels of overtuned economy

[shell dagger]

damn

[cloud sinew]

so it's just insane, got it

[fading cobalt]

Holy shii

[wintry ice]

tbf this is a flush 5 build with vagabond so

[shell dagger]

I now have 2.5 c++ (hit 75 stickers on my plasma file)

[glossy furnace]

it was a typeo but who cares lets just enjoy our day

[white zodiac]

u play too much

[shell dagger]

On that balala grind

[glossy furnace]

aint no way

[fading cobalt]

Making a typo of the word typo is crazy

[glossy furnace]

go take a shower

[fading cobalt]

I have a basic understanding of grammar so that means I dont shower

[river slate]

im gonna try it now

[glossy furnace]

english isnt everyones first language you muppet

you are deffo the type of person to blame every minor inconvenience on the opposing gender because you are a sad fuck

[shell dagger]

now now

[glossy furnace]

im just saying

cant wait for the victim response bs

[jagged valve]

Hey I made a suggestion #1433267835609808917

Idk how quickly this will be destroyed

[fading cobalt]

Ay I'm sorry man I didn't know you aren't fluent in english

You blocked me tho so I dont think you give a shit about my apology

Also why did you feel the need to make me out to be a sexist when I dont even know your gender

[zinc karma]

Hell nah

[fading cobalt]

Does it make your hand size even smaller?

[zinc karma]

WHAT THE FUCK

[zinc karma]

It doesnt

[fading cobalt]

Oh bet

Doesn't make sense but bet

[fading cobalt]

Holy seed 🙏

Pray you copy brainstorm

[hardy fable]

nice

[fading cobalt]

Bro got summoned

[zinc karma]

Looks like a high card gaming

[zinc karma]

Twice

[hardy fable]

why not copy something better

[fading cobalt]

Because 3 Hand size is diabolical

Or 4

Still

[glossy kettle]

Chat whats the ideal joker order if i'm trying to go the distance

[zinc karma]

Not with high card 🤫

[fading cobalt]

You already have it

[hardy fable]

idk just use balatro Calc

[glossy kettle]

Oh shit bet

[zinc karma]

Id copy buskin with blue print

[glossy kettle]

i was just guessing

[zinc karma]

But idk if its better

[fading cobalt]

True cuz it retriggers enhancements

[glossy kettle]

i dont have enough glass for that part to matter just yet

[shell dagger]

Copy sock once and trib once

[zinc karma]

I mean, its +2x with photo

[fading cobalt]

Copying sock twice would be best no?

[shell dagger]

No

[fading cobalt]

Sock does same thing as copying trib but you get more value from enhanced face cards

[shell dagger]

That isn’t true

[fading cobalt]

Isn't it?

[shell dagger]

Highest score comes from balancing triggers and mult effects

[solid tapir]

the general rule is to balance your retriggers and scoring jokers

[glossy kettle]

I dont have enough glass yet for enhancements to be factoring into my score

[fading cobalt]

But why

[solid tapir]

because math

[fading cobalt]

If you retrigger a face card with sock then that triggers trib again?

[solid tapir]

lemme pull up the calculator

[shell dagger]

If you have a bunch of fence and want to enclose the rectangle with the most area, it’s best to make a square

[glossy kettle]

trying to fix that within this ante because if i dont get my glass up by the end of ante 15 i'm dead

[fading cobalt]

If you copy buskin then you retrigger enhancements, chips and trib and if you copy trib then you only get trib value

[shell dagger]

If you copy trib twice then it’s like making one of the sides of your rectangle really long which doesn’t optimise area

[fading cobalt]

Can you not speak like you're building a farm? You're not building a farm

[shell dagger]

I’m using an analogy

You’re missing the fact that your copied tribs are also retriggered by sock

[fading cobalt]

An analogy that doesnt apply to it

[shell dagger]

It does

[white zodiac]

i refuse to think into different analogues

[solid tapir]

here

[white zodiac]

perimeter area math :3

[fading cobalt]

Yes but you're not getting enhancement value

[shell dagger]

You’re ignoring what i said

[floral osprey]

only analogs i care about are analog horror and the crt filter of this game

[solid tapir]

the enhancement value is negligeable after some point

[shell dagger]

Anyway if you want to believe balatro calculator instead of me there you go

[floral osprey]

and i guess also the cardsauce mod but ssshhh

[glossy kettle]

oh fuck i was wrong, glass is needed now i'm only hitting e16

feck

[shell dagger]

^ unless it’s glass in which case you count it as a trib

[solid tapir]

this yeah

[random apex]

My friend and I convinced my brother to play Balatro for the first time. This is the status of his first ever run

[solid tapir]

baron

[balmy ridge]

bad ron

[fading cobalt]

Have you been coaching him about how to play baron?

[random apex]

Yes

[fading cobalt]

Yeah no way a new player just happened to do allat on their own 😭🙏

[solid tapir]

however at the end of the day, same rules apply

[stark karma]

crazy ammount of tags tbh, 1 shop had like 3 colas

[random apex]

He didn’t understand why we freaked out so much when Barron showed up. He understood once he saw the number get gigantic

[fading cobalt]

Lmfaoo

[fading cobalt]

Negative cavendish is crazy

[stark karma]

I KNOW???

[fading cobalt]

Natural??

[stark karma]

this started as such a goated run

yeah

[fading cobalt]

Okay thats even CRAZIER

[stark karma]

double overstock in ante 2

[fading cobalt]

Hey does anyone know that run roffle did with observatory and perkeo?

[stark karma]

oh yeah?

[zinc karma]

Is that too crazy?

[stark karma]

hits you with another nat negative x3 mult

[solid tapir]

for the millionth time, yeah

[floral osprey]

i'd make a joke about the negative cavendish but i can't get reliable answers on what element is the opposite of potassium

[fading cobalt]

Yeah but 3oak isnt the play with baron, still crazy pull tho

[solid tapir]

idk Sodium

[eternal anchor]

didn't know this could happen on the tutorial seed

[stark karma]

casual negative rare still

could have been a bp....

[eternal anchor]

wait no that's green deck not red!

[random apex]

That’s because it’s not the tutorial seed

[fading cobalt]

Fr

[fading cobalt]

They gave my boy cavendish hypokalemia

[glossy kettle]

well

[random apex]

Oh you saw 😂

[glossy kettle]

i didnt have enough base mult and glass it seems

[fading cobalt]

Rip

[glossy kettle]

that was the first time i ever game overed from running out of cards instead of hands

so thats cool at least

[ripe iris]

somehow made a flush five build on orange stake

[fading cobalt]

I game overed by running out of hands and cards to play at the same time today

[zinc karma]

If that mf fuck my run i think im done with gs grind

[ripe iris]

where is your hand size bro 😭

[fading cobalt]

Gone, reduced to atoms

[glossy kettle]

oh hey i just noticed i'm one voucher away from the completionist achievement

lets go? i think?

[ripe iris]

so little hand size he tryna copy juggler bro 🥀

[glossy kettle]

tbh

i wish you COULD copy juggler

that'd be funny

[ripe iris]

it would make sense

but i see why not

copy jokers are op as is

[glossy kettle]

yeah plus probably some coding shenanigans under the hood would probably cause copying hand size to break

[fading cobalt]

Imagine 4 negative blueprints and 5 jugglers

[zinc karma]

🙏

[zinc karma]

I dont need em

[shell dagger]

blueprint and brainstorm don’t copy passive effects, if they could then it would introduce a bunch of quick time events

which sucks

[glossy kettle]

Insert image of the special hand "THE ENTIRE F*CKING DECK" from the Cryptid Mod

[tranquil cargo]

and even then they do introduce 1 quick time event

[fading cobalt]

"is it over?"
Checks score
Nvm

[stark karma]

drop brainstorm for the sixes right?

[glossy kettle]

Bornana

[tranquil cargo]

they work with mime, including on end of round effects such as gold cards

[glossy kettle]

lfg

[fading cobalt]

Hell nah

[stark karma]

I need cryptid tho?

do I drop mime instead?

[fading cobalt]

Sixth sense isnt worth ruining the run for

[stark karma]

no that'll kill me I think

[stark karma]

excuse me?

[shell dagger]

come on dawg

[fading cobalt]

And selling brainstorm wont?

[stark karma]

on ante 10?

[zinc karma]

Drop brain, im pretty sure hes easier to find

[stark karma]

are you new?

[shell dagger]

if they don’t pick up sixth sense here then perkeo is effectively a dud joker

[stark karma]

suuuuure lol

okay

would prob prefer seance

I love seance....

[zinc karma]

Masochist

[fading cobalt]

You're copying mime.. if you sell mime then you die but if you sell brainstorm you dont?

[shell dagger]

it is late but doable

[glossy kettle]

if my luck is anything to go by, brainstorm is in fact easier to find than other rares and idk why the game treats me this way

[stark karma]

I'll try

[fading cobalt]

Wait are you scoring like ALOT for ante 10?

Idk your scoring dawg like

[glossy kettle]

the amount of times i've pulled an ante 1 or 2 brainstorm without anything to copy should be studied

[stark karma]

I need fucking sixes tho....

[fading cobalt]

The amount of times I've gotten an ante 1 invis without anything good to copy should be studied

[stark karma]

e12 no brainstorm homie

[fading cobalt]

How many sixes do you have? 😭

[glossy kettle]

Jimbo is taunting us

[stark karma]

0, my deck is fixed

[fading cobalt]

Yeah surely you'll find a brainstorm or blueprint before you start dying

[fading cobalt]

And you wanna pick up sixth sense??

[stark karma]

U don't know what this is do you

[fading cobalt]

Bro you called me new for saying dont grab sixth sense and that's your hand

Is it not common sense to not grab sixth sense with this kind of build???

[shell dagger]

What do you think perkeo is gonna do without cryptid

[fading cobalt]

Holy shit

[fading cobalt]

They have no sixes bro

[shell dagger]

They can add sixes

[stark karma]

so ur rage baiting?

[fading cobalt]

Sure, but I think it'll be tedious

[fading cobalt]

Nah you are dawg

[stark karma]

I'm going for naneinf

seance is the better play right?

I wanna say that

I'm sure I can make a strush with strengths pretty fast

[shell dagger]

If you can quickly fix for it then yeah it’s way faster and doesn’t need a steady stream of 6s

[stark karma]

sweeet

thx

[shell dagger]

Making the 10-Q might suck

[solid tapir]

idk flower pot seems like a great pick up for baron

[fading cobalt]

Nah man, gotta grab the egg

[solid tapir]

egg doesn't synergize with mime like flower pot does

but it's a line

[balmy ridge]

is this a joke

[solid tapir]

you tell me

[stark karma]

it doooo come back

[lost vault]

sending him down the wrong path 😔

[solid tapir]

[balmy ridge]

methinks

yes

[fading cobalt]

If only it was negative

[solid tapir]

twas a joke

[fading cobalt]

Better than photochad...

[lost vault]

i disagree

photochad is at least viable in ante 8 runs

[pale wolf]

there should be 1 more spectral card generator

[solid tapir]

Baron is dogshit

btw

[fading cobalt]

Okay but playing photochad is boring

[fading cobalt]

True

[lost vault]

so is playing endless <3

[fading cobalt]

But when it works it works

[pale wolf]

maybe thats what chaos theory was

[fading cobalt]

Honestly real

[stark karma]

ughhhh omg I have a six now, maybe I take dna

this is so annoying

make like 10 sixes and wait

whats the play

me trying to set up strush lol

[solid tapir]

ante 12 royal flush pivot

[stark karma]

no ToT

I'm trying to find cryptids

I think dna might be the move here

[solid tapir]

I hope you find it fr

[stark karma]

and then pray for a sixth sense later

could be too late?

nah maybe I'll stick with strushes

I can death the sixes if I want

[solid tapir]

glgl

i don't have endless experience so I can't offer good advice

[stark karma]

thx

okay I set up strushes

gonna take a break to get my nerves in order, will get back on the grind tmmrw

[solid tapir]

[lyric shore]

love you cert

[solid tapir]

I also love certificate

[ripe iris]

imagine hologram here

[solid tapir]

why hologram when I can have squimbo

[terse dock]

I HATE certificate!!!

I'm EVIL

[ripe iris]

squimbo is less than x1.4 mult rn

hologram would be at x12

[terse dock]

Nuh uh

[solid tapir]

I love squimbo

[ripe iris]

who doesnt

but in this situation

[solid tapir]

white stake players

[terse dock]

Jimmy Carter

[ripe iris]

average casual player when you tell them that squimbo is better than their idol

"b-b-b-but it makes a bigger number"

[terse dock]

what pre-reagen president would he the best balatro player

[solid tapir]

this is why the run turned into that

[ripe iris]

lincoln would dominate

[solid tapir]

I did pass a hologram that seed but I was already locked in

[ripe iris]

i alr know hed be the drspectred of the 19th century

[solid tapir]

jonkler slots

[solid tapir]

fr

[terse dock]

teddy would probably be roffle

[winter pike]

kill me

[ripe iris]

washington probably wouldnt make it past blue stake ngl

[solid tapir]

like george washington ?

[ripe iris]

yes

[solid tapir]

why

yeah, he's dead

lol

[ripe iris]

i mean like

[terse dock]

Goodnight

[winter pike]

i played black deck, didnt have fun

[solid tapir]

gn

[ripe iris]

if we ressurected washington and introduced him to balatro

hed be ass

[solid tapir]

my sympathies

😭

[winter pike]

i should be sleeping rn

[astral mist]

probably because he wouldnt even understand the concept of a video game

[winter pike]

instead i decided to play black deck

[solid tapir]

my history is probably too poor to understand the joke, but perhaps

[winter pike]

thank you 🥲

[ripe iris]

ok you dont understand the hypothetical

[terse dock]

That's every president

[ripe iris]

its not a joke this my genuine opinion

[terse dock]

Except maybe Obama

[solid tapir]

ah

well fair enough then

[astral mist]

richard nixon would probably use debug plus

[winter pike]

2:30am, when should i sleep?

[astral mist]

2:30 am (tommorow)

[winter pike]

good idea

[terse dock]

Bill Clinton would probably get someone to play the game for him under his desk

Goodnight for real

[astral mist]

since you said "for reel" you now have to doomscroll instagram reels before sleeping

this is your fate

[terse dock]

Your listening comprehension leaves something to be desired

[astral mist]

ok

cool

very nice

im gonna play gtnh now

[safe moat]

I think a new seal should be added

Fight for it

[abstract vapor]

Do i take runner here?

[solid tapir]

drop the baron

pick up runner and go next

[abstract vapor]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

Can't wait to get mime next shop lol

[solid tapir]

if you have held in hand cards then mime can still be useful for that

[winter pike]

baron would still be useless

[solid tapir]

but it's looking like a straights run

[solid tapir]

no chips and no +mult

yah

[white zodiac]

it is the second round…

[solid tapir]

still

ante 2

maybe some gold cards in hand

blue seal perhaps

[winter pike]

i love gold cards!!!!

:3

[abstract vapor]

Don't pick up the seance right?

[solid tapir]

no

[ashen mauve]

Oops over blackboard?

[winter pike]

no

[solid tapir]

does it matter at this point

ante 11

[proven gulch]

IMMOLAMBLING

[winter pike]

youd need to scale cat so so much to match cat + blackboard

[winter pike]

true

[terse gyro]

god damn, ts shit is satisfying to look at

[proven gulch]

hold r

[winter pike]

i should stop playing my runs that arent endless runs in endless

they always die so quickly anyway and are just so boring to play through

[ashen mauve]

No, just for funsies. Didn’t know if blackboard plus lucky was better for the oops to scale the lucky harder. I figured it was stick with blackboard but the Poly on the oops threw my question

[proven gulch]

nanletitis

[winter pike]

ive only done one

[ashen mauve]

I like watching the deck die haha, I feel like have to let my deck die with dignity than end the run

[proven gulch]

sadist

[safe moat]

1?

I’ve done a natural sans bug

[winter pike]

dunno what that is

[white zodiac]

abandoned, a couple of sans, and andrew walk into a bar

[robust iris]

First time I see this guy doing something

[safe moat]

Why are you in negative four dollars

[fading dome]

probably ran into the tooth on the omelette challenge

[fading cobalt]

Steven and Todd when it comes to being the best common joker duo in the game

[proven gulch]

fr absolute chads...wait...

[fading cobalt]

I'm waiting

[safe moat]

Why

[blissful cedar]

What does todd do i know even steven

[amber dragon]

is there any way to win or am i just screwed

[blissful cedar]

Ur fucked

[safe moat]

Yeah just play a flush

[fading cobalt]

31 chips for each played odd card

[amber dragon]

cant dont have 5 hearts

[fading cobalt]

The fuck you mean why

[lucid plank]

That feeling when you have 2 pair and you go for a full house... But you end up with 4 pair.

[blissful cedar]

Guys have you ever won a game and throw it at the last second not paying attention

[tranquil cargo]

mult king of hearts is the best you've got I guess

[amber dragon]

yuppers

[safe moat]

Because they actually incentivize to deck fix for two different things

[amber dragon]

happened once with green stake

and i was so pissed
