speaking of
how do u have so many crazy gold stake runs lol
for every cool looking gs run there's about 5 more boring ones I've not ss
For the love of god wtf
the perkeo vagabond campfire synergy is cool af
i'd think about perkeo on emperor lol
I'm gonna jinx it for sure
kinda same but only like 1/8 are crazy for me tbf
every joker here is synergistic with each other
and jolly ig
made me live with no "real" scoring alternatives
i get that but the cool part is the perkeo vagabond campfire
sure burglar is great with vagabond and loyalty
but i've had that in a lot of runs
i've never had that trio
perkeo was strictly copying temperance to enable me from using the shop next round
this is the smart play with the higher winrate, perkeo on emperor is the funny play imo
RIP, madness at 11 and holo at 6.75
it's funny but it prevents vagabond from spitting out emperors
Certificate carry
ahhh i didn't consider tarot blocking tbf lol
Absolutely, had tarot and Mercury like crazy
this is some big deck energy
Thanks, it was quite large
i do agree with the size of your deck, could you send a pic so i can assess its quality?
it's behind a paywall 💔
It dead unfortunately
ah rip
Otherwise I would
it’s so over big jim hates me
Jimbo balatro is ruthless!
why is ur raised fist on the right?
it activates at the end
don't u want it to activate first?
@narrow wadi aw man, that boss is going to totally ruin my run
Negative hologram looks cool
this is tragic, you might get pair sent down to level 99
that's a reset
PLEASE
LOSE THE RUN
PLEASE
I NEED TO SIPHON HIS LUCK
Lmao eternal negative rental egg
blue thinks he's on the team
I think soul elements (or just bits that float off a card) should be effected by editions too
What an interesting first game of the day
Just like most things in life 😔
WHA-
hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?
😭 I'm not getting any xmult
Wait there's a scribbled jonkler???
royale flush.
nande
brainstorm
When you really think about it… xmulti is just xchips
no no the scribbly
that sounds hard :<
NEGATIVE IDOL
Ah I see, bs
I hope you have like steel or something
🤤
Give me your seed [after your done ofc :)
I do, lots of steel and planet seal
hi

Freakycat
you reset on the ante 8 boss

in gold stake black deck btw
Pick your poison chat
don't car
ok cool ty
u just
had to be here
If I die here I'm gonna kill myself
goddamn it, i shouldn't have been there
Idol on his way to do absolutely nothing
Yeah he's just there till I deckfix enough for him to be relevant
Its not like I was gonna skip a free negative idol lol
no
(negative tag)
idol and baron are mutually exclusive
Still it was a free negative tag
if you build baron you build baron and if you build idol you build idol
ticket farming idk
Why not grab 
built towards getting a hack but now how do i take it
Idol on its way to pick the one 3 of hearts in my 73 card king deck 💔
wish trading card wasnt eternal smhhhhh
this matters a lot on ur deck, send me a deck pic pls
woah at least take me to dinner first
not rlly my point
oops wrong one
@narrow wadi ☹️
My point is idol wants eris and glass polychrome red seal cards of a rank that can be retriggered easily
u have no xmult so this doesn't rly matter, the second u click select hold onto brainstorm tho to make it not go far left
baron wants pluto and steel red seal kings specifically as well as mime and particularly hand size
Ah I see,
Also real true
I started the blind and I have no clue where it is 😭
a lot of wild makes ancient actually decent but it's still ancient joker so uh probably get rid of idol
idol and baron cannot mix
rip lol, u have a 4/5 chance that this doesn't matter tho
would it be better for my score to drop idol for hack
when u play a hand just check that brainstorm does something
hold mime so brainstorm always copies it
holding the thing you want copied is better
ur deck isn't one card so kinda ye
Since handsize doesn't matter as much
I'm relying on brainstorm mimenfor steel cards
ah true this one was better lol
ah cool, use ur first hand to find where mime is then
this is like a 1/1000 chance lol
It worked, let's goooo!
erm ackshually its a 3/1000
is this real?

as a general rule btw u can hold onto a joker after u select amber acorn to keep its position
it's in the balatro wiki if you wanna confirm any probabilities
i trust u dw, that's a cool af statistic to just pull out lol
I had absolutely no idea pairs could go to the moon 😉😉
eternal hallucination + deathing purples lowkey just auto win
brought to you by larswijn that invented the concept of balatrowiki.org
if only more ppl listened to good players me 💔
negative idol
Yeah this seed gives you the choice of idol build or baron build lol
i don't love using wikis in games cos i like to learn things myself, ik this makes me a worse player than if i did use the wikis but i find it more fun
fair enough
Negative tag tho
that’s crazy
Thankyou for your seed ^^
Can't wait to play with it ^-^
some ppl don't like terraria for similar reasons
I double skipped for voucher and negative tag and it paid off
I'm the only good player 😤
ALL OF YOU ARE BENEATH ME
I AM THE GOD OF BALALA
If I replay this seed I wont skip for negative tag tho cuz idol was useless
this sounds like lord of the game by death grips
Oh my god my ps5 account is officially better than my switch
Less hours yet more jokers unlocked
I can think of a way to make idol baron work (in different hands)
Billy, why doesn't brainstorm work with sixth sense?
idol let's you ticket farm for longer, baron let's you kill a24 (on plasma)
Question does the no flush joker thing mean no flush straights or flush houses?
the unlock requirement
u can't delete a card twice, u can hover over blueprint/ brainstorm tho to find out if things work
it says incompatible if it doesn't work
But you could get 2 spectral cards for destroying a card once
Ohhh, that makes sense
don't tell him about the questionable duplicate interactions with 6th sense and trading card
i agree but the game doesn't lol
?
fir those hand jokers you need to avoid the specifically listed hand
Yeah, ik that, I didn't realise why it was incompatible, though
i do not know these, please explain
So flush 5, flush house, flush straight can be played... good to know
having 2 trading cards give you 6 bucks but having 2 6th sense still gives you one spectral
finished a fun run with ancient that got oblierated by suit debuff smh
If hex destroys gros michel will it reappear or does cavendish show up now
i never knew this, this is kinda interesting (not that i will ever see it in game lol), thanks for the info
round 1 rare skip into blueprint = increased survivorship bias lets go
i learn something new every day on this discord even with the insane amount of game time i have
yeah you're only gonna see this interaction through a mistake
dare i say that couldve been avoided
ancient can avoid suit debuffs by skipping
its a strong part of the joker
imo if ur skipping to avoid suit debuffs with ancient joker then u have made a mistake by buying ancient joker
my winning hand was wild cards
sometimes that's the only choice
finished an unfun run where aj almost killed me and black board staying goated through these tough times
If we can have negative consumables then why not poly, holo or foil aswell?
what would that do
blackboard a goated joker fr
what do I sell?
trousers at 32
vamp at 2.2
next boss is the eye, no repeat hand types
I think I sell matador but I'm also greedy
rookie mistake. relying on wild cards for ancient is very dangerous
sell the matador I BEG
WHY
tbf ancient joker at least has consistency in that it cycles through suits instead of picking randomly
No but listeten listen listen, you could get $36 in a single round with matador
thin your deck instead to use rhe flushes without too many wild as a reliance
I KNOW RIGHT
72 WITH BLUEPRINT
Too late little ankh
Lmao the impostor in the deck be like :
$288 with ankhed blueprint and a brainstorm
do i sell trib for dna to copy polychrome red seal glass?
the best econ joker
fr though matador?
I'd be selling $72
nah u sell tribb, who wants scoring when u could have money
but I am at ante 7
wrong ss
oh mb lol
skip every blind challenge done literally on the first attempt lmfao
can someone help
36?
8 times 4
I have 6 hands
wait
isn't this 32?
8 times 4 is 32
Gold stake achieved
And a new legendary has the max sticker
yes
Predict the score
lmao
at least 20 imo
1.7m
matador gives 8
Ooooh, 17m
This is at least 20 so I win
alright I'll sell rebate
good shop
Wtf
I'll reroll tf out of the next shop in ante 8
I’ve never had that lol
yeah
that's crazy
you'll die faster with only 25 cards in the deck
Throwback my goat (helped me win 4 gold stakes (and I’m not kidding))
im so lucky
1.7m is closer, so I think Light wins 😏
Really? On anaglyph I assume
hell yeah
Anaglyph, painted, black, and then magic
In that order (ish)
does it count as double skip?
for throwback
Fr, tho ik it’s a hot take but brainstorm on gold stake is like A tier for me not s
Wait that’s a good idea
1.7m is wrong, at least 20 is right
WHY WOULD YOU SELL REBATE OVER MATADOR
Double tags used add x.25
ITS MONEYYY
everyone uses rebate, the real flex is to keep matador
check my ss
frrr
No but it gives a reason for skipping to be good
I see
would you rather be known as the normie who keeps rebate or the chad who keeps matador
Do I take? No observatory yet
rebate at ante 7 when I'll spend all my money anyway? Nahhhh
Steven obviously
Do you think even is his actual first name
I guess so
Is this normie or chad
I sometimes buy rebate at ante 7, it’s by far the best econ joker
13.75 million?
No I mean what do I take off
I get a lot of money by the end of ante 7 though
Chad (everyone hates on baron for gold stake)
Because baron sucks on gold stake
I meaaaaaan
rizz
ye ante 7 is generally where i sell my econ joker for an xmult, but if i don't see an xmult and i have a different econ joker i take rebate
rebate is so much money
if I use 5 hands for matador and one for scoring with bp on vamp
every round
If you have the money you can make it work and then it's just a steamroll lol
Yeah but imagine the flexing you can do if you become a gold stakes nanlet
Not those SISSIES that do it on wh*tr
The same could be said of any other strategy
fr?
baron is just much too volatile
Yeah cause it's hard to get off the ground on gold
You don't have the base mult to make baron pop
Bal who tro 💀
Never say bal who tro ever again
what
speaking of volatile, thoughts?
Based
Next question
(I didn’t even answer you lmao)
no vouchers 
Completely fuckin negligible but probably better than smiley
If anything smilet goes here
there goes my hopes for a 8 obby licks black deck win
the legends, cav, cat ticket stone glass steel and nevermind that's 11
what's the base mult break even point (I'm running on 2 hours of sleep)
where tf did i get 13 from
Idk sell smiley so you proc stencil
Make glass face cards
no need for photo here
Moderation team, time out this gentleman for exactly five minutes.
Please don-
??
is round 1 investment tag always a skip? i generally always do it but idk if that's right
what the dididkskxw
Showman if it actually gave a shit
showman things
brother
Showman locked the fuck in
This but unironically
you need to find mime
not on yellow and maybe not into hook
if you make a lot of money you can just get baron again
Can they appear if you charm tag skip sb and enchant cards

You fucking idiot
tbf i don't take it on yellow but i do take into hook
3b
maybe that's why ppl hate obby licks

I don't think therefore i am not
that's an awesome quote
might steal that
Chat which blind should I skip
both
None
must you skip
oh wait fr tho 2nd one
I have mouth and I must yap
- mad joker, sly joker, red card, i cant think of any else
- 13 this feels like a trick question
- shoot the moon feels like the longest but im unsure
b. madness i think - 5 of them: perkeo, yorick, canio, triboulet, and chicot
2 is 11
I’ll skip big blind and let y’all know afterwards what the buffoon skip had
wha
ceremonial dagger is a longer name than shoot the moon
is fibonacchi not aviable in the abandoned deck?
10 j k q are all +20 mult
there is no 11 rank
well yeah but fist still differentiates
according to raised fist
she was only asking the difference in ranks
for 4 you're also forgetting jokers that need prerequisites to spawn
Accoridng to fist
cavendish and the enhancement jokers
cat, ticket, steel, glass, and the other one i forget the name of
if i have a red seal queen and i move it to the right with a jack in hand its the jack getting triggered
Stone joker
so raised fist most definitely realizes a difference
It should be available because I see no reason why it shouldn't be.
it is
this is true though thank you
I havent seen it at all...
congrats!
good argument
CONGRATSSS
i know im so smart right
You must be getting really unlucky.
theres just a heckin lot of em
nobody is as intelligent as me
every bows before shadowspussy
do you ever just not read someone's username and then someone mentions it
:(
all it took was a ante 1 gold blue seal 9
I didn’t win but neither the buffoon packs or the negative skip had any good jokers😔
do you not want to bow before shadowspussy?
lmfao
negative tag might be my guiltiest pleasure
rare joker tags for me
blue seals make jokerless very free
idk what you're talking about
i took a random rare tag because i was feeling spicy and got a blueprint like an hour ago
When hit the road comes along and sits down next to u
lmao
W
survivorship bias reinforcements strikes again
My username is completely innocuous
Who invited the order to the function?!?
yeah ok
omg the duo, order, family, any hand xmult rares pmo
You just really like the British broadcasting corporation
am i schizo or are you changing it back and forth
i swear it just said bbc
I feel they should be uncommon
idk what you're talking about
cool
Do I?
next round button not nuked
Me when the light of ra blinds me
good boy
hold, sell chad for sock, sell showman for sock
Heiroglyph ante 1 looks so sad
I mean you have literally no retriggers so I'd say yeah
Why the fuck would you take ante 1 hiero
not knowing a8 and a7 boss blind being a nothing burger, if you had to skip in order to preserve your main scoring source, do you skip a7 or a8
Is it not always a good option?
no
what's heiro
no
Absolutely not
Why
i rarely take one even
kills both short term econ stabilization and long term scoring
How? (genuine question)
Only exacerbated because ante 1 there is no fucking point to going back an ante
you don't see a lot of shops in ante 1 as the one main benefit from taking heiro in the first place. stagnating your econ and hand scaling is just an unnecessary detriment
-1 hand genius
ideally you want to know why you are taking it in that moment, not if one usually takes it
Uh
makes your deck black deck without the joker slot
that's -1 dollar per round and -25% of your scoring
Credit card in the Buffon pack
Ouch 🤕
I see
THE AMOUNT OF PHOTOCHADS AND MIDAS MASKS I HAVE GOTTEN IN MY ABANDONED DECK RUN AHHHHHHHHHH
No Buffon pack in sight
you're not scaling anything
At least I got gros Michel
cc in the reroll
Kill showman for brainstorm
you basically cut your hand off for not that much benefit since you aren't scaling anything or have the money to search more shops and buy stuff
one would think -1 hand is self explanatory
But alas it has to be spelled out for them
black deck without joker slot
kamiii
Idk man im going to bed
Holy damn
Is castle a good joker?
damn ok
yeah
That negative fibo looks sexy ash
No I HATE him
it's basically squimbo with a higher ceiling
he asked if it was good
Castles have pronouns now 💔
I WILL misgender the castle
Ikr 😭
it was property of a king
People like that irl pmo
Real
I wonder if misgendering in the 1300s was ousted as a public crime
It didn’t exist tho
who is to say
"you misgendered me thats hate speech" I've never met you how am I meant to know your pronouns 💔
It did
If you complained about being misgendered in the 1300s you'd either get punched or slapped 😭
They'd probably call you a witch
Gendered language has existed for a long time
Or crucified
idk
And as long as gendered language has existed, you can call someone the wrong one
If you called a man a woman they'd get mad but if you called a man a man and that man said I'm a woman then that man is getting absolutely bashed
Especially in a bar
You can misgender cis people
GUYS THIS DISCUSSION GOES IN #🃏・off-topic
Your name makes me think of gta online
bruh
Maybe they accepted trans people in the 1300's
What is the mult counterpart of castle?
Maybe they didn't give a damn lol
Man not to sound rude but women back then really were different from men
"you're trans? Ok whatever" most people probably wouldn't know what that means
idk prob bus if you wanna discard faces to scale something indirectly
theres a newspaper from the 30s or 40s of a man who transitioned and it was not met with disgust but with wonder
we talking about the 1300’s not the 21st century 🥀
Was transgender even a word in 1300s?
I SAW THAT she's such a diva
She is
Depends on what culture
during the edo period it was definitely not safe
Gender norms across societies varied greatly
Okay going slightly off course was fine but now it truly should go to #🃏・off-topic lol
Maybe they were people that considered themselves genderless but in the 14th century most people would see them as crazy
Not to sound rude again
Yeah
You know I don’t want to start talking about this subject since any slip can get me a ban or something
Here we talk about gambling 🤑
Gambling = trans. Balatro is trans
How tf
The only slip you could make about a conversation about the 1300s is some heinous comment about slavery bro
Or war idk
FR lol
but yee
gros michel is trans
i don't play magic deck much but when i do i just go hermit double fool. Is this wrong?
transferable skill
A banana btw 😭
Banan
No
Why are we talking about jokers being trans or not 😭😭
gros michel is like my third favourite joker so i guess i'm trans now
Why not
Holy shortcut 😭
Truth nuke
@lunar zealot @fickle mesa @orchid comet
If my favourite actor is black does that make me black?? 😭
hm good point, that must just mean i love trans ppl then
oh right I counted ace twice
idk any trans ppl irl so idk if i love them, but if i love gros michel i must do
Are we still talking about a banana joker 🥀
I think I was right about 1 maybe?
obviously
obviously
This has gotta be a Balatro player’s wet dream
I've seen bigger cashouts then that
@pale wolf
I’m talking about the absurd start
A balatro players real econ wet dream is when they have a handful of gold cards and mime
Fair enough
I once had double 25$ at first ante on yellow deck
Two polychrome runners and investment tag ante 1
you MUST have skipped
I was insta rich
Duh
hell yeah
It was the run start
for me it's rebate hitting the right card
If I lose it’s no big deal
Double skipping investment on yellow deck feels bad tbh
Fair enough
5 cards hitting rebate
Well it was but….🤑
4oak or 5oak but with rebate
uuuuh it depends on what the scoring source is i think
most situations would be skip a7 i think
Can this really destroy my eternals?
no
No
That's broken wth
here's the scoring situation average atm
jesus christ the thought of this makes me very excited, i don't even wanna imagine blueprint with this
My logic is that it is easier to scale obelisk a little bit more with higher scoring requirements if needed
Not that it matters with your high cards
15 x 5 x 3 with I think 90 chips atm
All the best jonklers are trans
x2 with Andrew
What's ur fav trans joker guys
thing is idk how long I wanna keep andrew
i might not have much authority in what is trans and isn't, but for me trousers is one of my favourite jokers and just feels very trans
and a7 skip makes it harder to ramp score right away
especially when polychrome
will this be able to naninf? how many cryptids do i need
a8 idk the boss blind
idk exactly but probably around 50 if ur not playing plasma
yeah that's my idea, if you don't skip anti-7 and you need to skip on the last ante that you have way less time to prepare for the hardest boss Blind, and less opportunity to scale
stencil has 3 rounds left
Card counting but instead of needing to track probability I just open up the hud of the deck mid play
casinos really dont like that trick
Real-Time updating deck view on your apple vision pro
1 pair of leniency, playing hc twice kills me via score shortage/forces high base mult hand
can't believe you can plaster your casino game on your windshield while driving. this is peak innovation
Oh trousers is trans asf
Red card is trans
Chicot is trans
stuntman is trans (can't play straights)
rly, instinctively i would've thought red card would be very straight idk why
fire
this makes a lot of sense
classic indie game community overestimating an lgbt population
statistically there's like five trans Jokers
Jen Joker most definitely
and one of them is definitely driver's license
too late Zeba
I mean it even has bureaucratic incompetency, it's so fitting
hows jen doin
not like she needs to do that, she takes public transit
I mean yeah now she does, her license expired
Red card is straight and trans
that makes some sense tbh
Stuntman is my trans masc king
stuntman and spare trousers do have tboy swag
this is a vampire angle right?
yes
yeah sure
i thought so but rarely take it so wanted to be sure
only because you dont really got anything else, but red card making you choose between xmult and +mult from skipping on wasteful/almost useless enhancements is kind of annoying
better than halfsies for sure
better than halfsies and I wouldnt call it a good angle but its not a bad angle or anti synergy
vamp just sucks overall
that's its thing yeah
agreed, hence me asking, red card wants me to skip tarots and vampire wants me to take it
but it's still an early xmult
i took it cos it's an early xmult and i don't have xmult
early xmult with holographic, plus you can always scale it off of shop arcanas
plus its green stake levels of scoring
you barely even need that much
punished by seeing blackboard next shop, a much better xmult joker lol
but tbf i take both
you take both
i'm pairs so blackboard is easy
and discard uhh half boy
you take both and kill zanny
what is zanny?
and find a more reliable source of chips
zanny and halfsies are fodder even in comparison to vampire
chips for 3oak
oh i sold this for vampire lol
it was dying one of these days
imma remove half joker for blackboard i think
red card on +30
so half isn't that good anymore
it was a shop 1 pickup
when you need to*
Mime is definitely transcoded
i picked up half joker cos it's better than a buffoon pack round 1, it is now sold
my early paintbrush is not great for blackboard lol, but i just need a couple of worlds/ moons to make it not matter
They're ALL trans /j
Mime is barons beautiful non binary partner
Real
with vampire btw and +36 red card do i take magician over skipping a tarot pack?
i found the balatro executable to pin to my taskbar, but why is the tagline this lmao
aces ftw ig
These are the balatro discussions I want to have
my vampire is only on x1.2 and i only have a few cards it can scale off, surely the magician is better than the +3 from red card
@lament bronze what's your input on salvaging this 8 hand cap obby licks run rn
obby licks is at 5.2x
heart boss irrelevant
heart suits most abundant
castle on clubs & 90 chips
average score with x2 stencil = 40k
upper bound = 90k
unknown a8 boss
your stencil is gonna die
x mult becomes priority in the later half of the run
@white zodiac please advise on this, u are probably a better balatro player than i am and i never rly take vampire so idk the line
Super lame, but
Mom, get the camera! A wheel of fortune wasn't a nope! (second castle)
is this u saying to use the magician
Yorick is the best Legen Joker
idc you guys opinion
usually around 30 mult is like the safe spot to transition to x mult
cos i don't use vampire nearly at all
ok so cos i'm at 36 i use magician right
thank you, mb for pinging you but vampire plays i am very new to
im like the opposite lmao (only because I have to play 2 pair frequently)
two pair??
my play time is cooked
along with other harder decks
vampire is literally my only joker without any sticker lol, i hate picking it up cos its scaling condition also hurts you which i find hard to take
vamp is great xmult
in a way it's sort of unconditional decent scoring in that it converts card reliance scoring/value into x mult on a joker that would proc more consistently long term
stencil dies soon enough, gamble with judgement due to no proper good card to copy, could also suggest hanged man if you're really scared of rng but you have andy and summit you rarely need anything for better odds and you clearly cant get a good card, will need some more info on the obelisk hand and how close you are on average with every other hand
very odd that you get 90k with a 5x obelisk and a x2 stencil
banner is not it btw
i got the game six days ago
red card vampire is huge anti synergy imo, vampire is only decent cos i've already scaled red card
massive skill issue, somehow incapable of even beating white stake with that
had to play a secret flouse
ayyy i got campfire now so ig the run is won
yeah but its just
damn
thats too low despite all that you did
I've played these games before
far too low
i assume campfire goes over to the moon, it's conditional to be 1 buck more than golden
at this rate catching up to obelisk is an issue with how much you have to play
tbf I had andrew
if you never take a joker youll never get a sticker on it
could just discard him on the one round I decide to play out after
golden is worse and the only condition for to the moon is something you WANT to do 24/7
its extremely easy to treat $25 as $0 once you get past interest cap
with campfire tho i might wanna go under 25 which makes it the same as golden
true tbf
not really at all
if you go below interest cap with campfire its ante 8 and money doesnt natter
good point
you're only gonna go below 25 dollars on the finisher blind
golden joker goes
yeah
specially with how dummy thick your lineup is with xmult, barely anything needed to use on campfire
at this point its a win more joker lmao
i love golden joker because it means i don't have to think lol
fr
yeah but once you get interest you dont have to think + it rewards you for it
i win this run 100%, i only loaded up blue stake cos i got depressed by losing 2 gold stakes in a row
purple joker sucks but he kinda rocks when you get a purple seal ante 1
it was low on purpose, I haven't seen my true upper bound scoring yet
Interest is a necessary mechanic to actually make the game difficult but once you get the mechanics of it, its strictly a flawed win-more button
100% agree ngl, yellow deck is by far my most consistent on gold stake for this reason
without interest youd just be playing green deck with an effective cap of 20 for hermit instead
i think interest is a good mechanic
the interest vouchers tho.... winmore
I dont think the game would be better off without it because it would mean that every other joker or thing should be knocked off a peg in price or rarity because otherwise you just cant get shit
i agree cos it's a skill intensive mechanic which i love, getting to 25 on gold stake took me a while to figure out
plus like, jokers that synergize with it and you see how awful the green deck experience is
green di
but once you get the skill required to it, its simply a means to an end to obliterate everything without thinking
without hermit/interest You kind of have no incentive to save any money at all, I feel like that's less interesting
castle is effectively x2-x9 my total chips depending on poker hand. I have 1-2 rounds to farm chips with andrew before I NEED to ditch him. the timing would depend on which ante I would want to fully skip. (investment tag & negative tag on a7)
its just too free to have the equivalent of a stronger golden joker AND CREDIT CARD without any other thing than having a bit of patience
and also pushes you to always have the utmost hermit output
it adds another decision point to a purchasing decision
while not even punishing you like credit card does
while not even being a hard thing to question
can you pls explain this in a way that i understand, i love the castle, i find it scales way faster than square
how does credit card punish you
"Should I buy this joker that can help me oneshot or should I just keep this interest treshold... Hmmm..."
its not even close
you only need one semi bad joker to completely wreck the first antes and cash out
castle got hit by blue though
it was for my run, castle is at 90 rn and this is my current poker hand chip levels
and then interest is just filing your taxes and raising your kids for you
Maybe even, bravery
Maybe even, integrity
Maybe even, perseverance
Maybe even, kindness
Maybe even, justice
Or maybe, even Ball Game™
its not even a skill past understanding what you need
funnily enough, by not letting you get interest
takes up a joker slot to reap the niche benefits and removes interest benefits
well, twice as much
oh true
low level hands makes +chip jokers very good so surely u keep castle every time
I fucked up I forgot to reply
takes one slot, doesnt allow you to rack interest, actively keeps you away from it

going down one interest treshold means you have to make 5 more bucks to make one buck
Some people don't like captions for some reason
going down an interest treshold through credit card means you have to make 10 bucks to make one buck
I just think its necessary but calling it skill or even fair is not really something that is feasible
makes the game better by not having it be the green deck experience and also telling you to not bumrush through awful starting jokers
unless u get the +1 buck temperance, then it's only one buck u need to make up
it's mostly an afterthought at one point
but it also just feeds you an awful lot
like a noob check
yeah I wasn't planning on removing it if it's effectively a safe x5 chips on average
noob check and a simple win more for anyone with enough patience to just not buy TWO jokers to onetap big blind on ante 1 (They could have done it without buying a single one)
Me when i have rebate, to do list, trading card, golden joker, and midas mask but I lose because I'm on ante 3 with no mult nor planets because I spent all my time getting econ
i like when u agree with me cos ur probably much better than i am and that means i would've made a good decision
(Just not buying one of these could have racked up a grand total of 10 dollars through interest alone)
smug and some other ppl are good too
I'm just a casual number head
The joke is that I get both my money up and my funny up
i agree given i think i'm still very good at this game because i learned from dr spectred lol, but imma always try to learn from ppl better than me cos that's the only way to improve
balatro university lol
its always "Dont assume because I have the exact same opinion of the youtuber said in the exact same way that I got it from them"
i watched balatro university before i played the game cos i hate being bad at shit
i was so bad at being shit i won without knowing anything
i often have the exact same opinion cos i learned it from them lol
I beat first white stake without knowing you could rearrange jokers lol
i change opinions on jokers nearly every day cos someone good at the game tells me otherwise
I watched markiplier right after I started playing that's how I learned not to skip so often
i only know how to like 50 hours into the game dw
nahhhh
that's insane
I started playing and was like "this is so cool there must be ppl playing and posting it"
i do have some pride in instinctively knowing most skips are bad, i did however used to think that negative skips were good lol
lmao mark was my introduction to balatro
I was surprised how fast market pliers picked up on how powerful hologram was
unless balatro is your poop time game, then understandable
lmfao
Game took a turn in my life...
i only found high contrast like yesterday
yeah, im just making fun of how people get really defensive when you even come close to implying they only know or belief that shit from BU
I've never seen him be called that
no big shade to BU because thats just an objectively right opinion most of the time
I unlocked merry andy and the other jonkers by accident cause for a time I thought skips were good ....
I was worried for a second
"Cant people have the same opinion as a youtuber smh"
i got that dw lol, i just thought it was funny that most of my opinions are from him
thank god I come in chat to ask why he made the decisions he made
200 hours into the game
now
love balala
yeah opinion immediately invalidated because doc said it not me
like
I think I lose here
BU is often straight up objectively right but its funny to see people clueless 5 minutes before about a joker and suddenly switch up on it
Ggs
find the ones u can't sell
I think you've made it when there is truly nothing left to learn from him
Hmm, wonder what deck I like to play
"BU made another record with a semi useless joker now you have to bear people trying and failing to use it effectively on chat and complaining about it while singing its praises of what it [could] be"
rince repeat every week
before balatro i was an hk speedrunner and i think that taught me that what i think is often not correct, which helped me stay humble and learn from others
It actually doesn't even matter
oh well a little less than a week because hes slowing down
I mean, if you play ghost deck even a few times that'll skew your hexes a ton
is it the ceiling that's the problem?
He was just memeing lol
I love immo
Billy talking about balatro like it was the knee injury
@surreal spruce omg brooke black deck win streak of 10 player please womansplain me
i think i'm at that point now, like i win gold stake over half the time but i still have a long way to go
before the crippling addiction to the funny card game... Iwas unstoppable...
lmao
Blalatrixyeux
don't cat
do not cat
woah
wo
Do not the cat
Speedrunning silksong?
the cat not do
What am I spraining
top 10 is actually quite high considering the amount of people and the sheer mass of autism surrounding a game about bugs
Splaining
Ur knee
hk?
how to salvage my 8 obby licks black deck gs win
No
ankle
i did on release but i have hand issues from speedrunning hk so much lol so i can't practice enough to be a top runner
since you're the balatro university
doc oc
appreciated, i spent so much time on the game cos i love it so much lol
Fair enough, early game silksong speedrunning is just carpal tunnel sim
hollow knight, imo the best game ever made
i got carpal tunnel speedrunning hk, silksong is even worse
given optimal movement is jump dashing
some things you just learn on your own, like treating joker chips, planet chips, and base chips as some form of x score when comparing them to each other for what the best score is
it's my top 1, i played it cos i'm a no hit fromsoft guy and i found hk more fun than any fromssoft game
which is a high bar
I didn't really like hollow knight ngl
it's a huge message chain mb
Ermmmm with merry Andy you could go for hard hands to play for obby better. Run that with some deck fixing maybe go for a 4oak angle with glass face cards for sock value. Which would be x4 per which does more than anything stencil is doing, and finding a replacement for stencil since it will be useless final boss. Sorta just pray it isn’t VV unless you can repliable hit the cards. So for that shop I would use the hung men to cut out some of them and go from there as that’s statistically the best for finding the big hands.
Ofc this depends on your hand usage thus far tho
are you still on this run
agreed, i try to play instinctively and i'm learning to do this without using a calculator lol
ppl use a calculator?
uh
I don't think I can afford to play out rounds
rly? it's a valid opinion but i would like to know why
No you do not
jokxtong tongue throws the beard. Hockington
Erm
Probably just not for me
I got bored of it very quickly
on gold stake black deck i started using calculators to work out how much i can greed (my phone, i think the calculator mod is an unfair advantage)
I was thinking of removing Andrew and skip three times for stencil score preserve
probably and that's fair enough, i found the game so beautiful i couldn't stop playing
Do you score enough with the extra x1
Me when my opinion is WRONG
Two different types of people
ppl like different things, as much as i think hollow knight is the best game of all time other people might just not like it
#🕹・game-discussion message
with my average score with x2 stencil it's at 40k while intentionally scoring low
What did Andrew do
opinion
I'm obviously joking
define it
Okay so it would be 60k while scoring low
ah mb lol, i'm a bit autistic so struggle with this lol
Define joke
given 4.6x obby at that time and 72 chips
Could look for a tarot to help
a bit? you're the most autistic person I've met
My only problem with hollow knight I played celeste right before it and that completely ruined every other platformer’s movement for me
(I've only met 1)
How far into it did you get
is this a bad thing?
I don't remember but not very far
should I play out the round with the negative tag then as the 1 round
The start is the worst part imo. As soon as you get to greenpath/get dash it becomes so much more fun imo
dw i am not easily offended
if you’re in this server you have NOT met only one autistic person
and i wasn't without reading the second message either
You should give it another chance. If you didn't get past forgotten crossroads I suggest giving it another go
I count as 2 ppl (im autistic obese)
i js had a 1 in e17 chance experience
two high cards with lucky cards with blueprint on hanging chad
NO MULT from either
if im calculating this right this is 1 in 5^25 or 1 in 2.9e17
Free joker that’ll work with stencil I think so
hi autistic obese, i'm billy
both hollow knight and silksong i got bored of at the start and dropped
but then i picked hollow knight back up and 100% it so hoping that happens with silksong too
wait play that round or skip the negative because I was thinking the former
I mean what’re the other rewards
As in 2 times lucky cards were triggered and didn’t give mult?
investment tag
Ooo
2 trials?
Investment is better
in a7 small blund
I guess 6 trials
it probably will, they are great games. Ignore the hate that not liking eiether game gives u tho, u are allowed to not like a game which most team cherry fans ignore
I like the start of silksong much better than hollow knights start
blueprint on hanging chad
5 times cuz its 2 retriggers twice so its 1+2+2 = 5
and that twice so 5x5
and its a 1 in 5 so 5^25
agreed, i like hk middle game and endgame more tho, that might change with dlcs
ah 10 trials
yea i played more of silksong before getting bored, like 8h
hollow knight was like 4h
I can play out 1 round between a7 and a8 while still preserving the stencil. investment let's me spend more in the shop this ante. that leaves with ante 8 with one shop into the boss. with variable results via boss and tags
mightve calculated wrong its prolly 5^10
8h would put u at like act 3?
no
thats still over 9 million so
you're lucky ive even been spoiled about multiple acts already
Yes I agree
I think tarot is best option for a power spike here
Too
That's so fair. They're different games so they have their advantages and disadvantages
yeah your odds of getting 0 triggers in 10 trials is (4/5)^10 or about 11%
sorry not 1 in e17
I just love how smooth silksongs combat is
it's hard for me to know where casual players would be lol, i have maybe 4k hours in hollow knight which makes silksong easy for me
tarot?
lmao im 34 hours still solidly in act 2
Finding one in shop to bring in for boss
oh
Like a glass essentially wins the run
yeah maybe suits or glass
rly? this makes me feel good about the time i've wasted playing hk given i was in act 2 in like 1.5 hours
