im not really going for that since i have perkeo

but yeah thats fair

[unreal island]

ah true

[tepid skiff]

Did you get any other good negatives

[eternal anchor]

okay so I finished a challenge run followed by a yellow deck run and I still don't fucking have rule breaker 💀 what in the world am I supposed to DO

all mods were off too

wait, it's on my Steam profile but it never told me ingame?

that is so strange 💀

[stable glacier]

FUCK YEAAAAA

my ps5 is still black screened btw

i really wanna save this video footage but i doubt i can 😭

[eternal anchor]

not only that, I achieved it nearly 4 hours ago 😭🙏🏻

[vital grove]

Got a gold stake streak of 5, half by accident. I knew I had a streak of 3+, so when I saw I was tying my record of 4, I thought “hey let’s see if I can make this 5”

Got obelisk and spare trousers in ante 1, at which point I knew it was just a matter of execution. Well, and finding a halfway decent chips joker

[stable glacier]

if you really wanna know btw https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1436208358351962122

[stable glacier]

unfortunately i didn't capture any footage after this , and i dont think its possible to recover the crash report video but it was only the last 15 seconds anyways

[neat ore]

Yo the best joker combo is fortune teller and vagabond

[serene gyro]

bro

[orchid comet]

needed some advice

[unreal island]

heh.... guess you never heard of.... baron mime.... heh....

[serene gyro]

i only put an audio of youtube

[unreal island]

insert moyai and wine emojis for some reason

[vestal fern]

do y'all know of this obscure balatro combo named "Photochad"?

[orchid comet]

do I sell off rocket ($7 per round rn) or chicot for xmult? I don't think I get rid of rebate but it's not doing much. I might remove that instead of rocket

[serene gyro]

susi

[vestal fern]

It involves,,, photograph,,, and hanging chad

really obscure

[orchid comet]

u don't bring mike tyson into the convo when we debate who's a better boxer

[vestal fern]

[orchid comet]

a lot of ways to reroll a boss if it even does spawn for u

director's cut, tag, luchador, chicot

[vestal fern]

are you guaranteed to see those?

[orchid comet]

are you guaranteed to see plant?

[vestal fern]

I mean, it's more likely you'll see plant than Luchador or Chicot

[orchid comet]

yeah true

[stable glacier]

can you get negatives from judgement ?

[orchid comet]

but in a photochad or baron mime run isn't it expected to have recon

[stable glacier]

or any editions for that matter

[neat ore]

Baron pog baron pog?

[unreal island]

any edition

i think

but no stickers

[stable glacier]

(must have room)

[unreal island]

yeah u need room but u can still get a negative

[stable glacier]

i dont lol , why i asked negative specifically

[neat ore]

Half joker and square joker

[acoustic kettle]

Bus triboulet

[unkempt geyser]

What are the odds

[orchid comet]

erosion and trading card

[opal delta]

midas mask and vampire

[orchid comet]

woah I wanna try that now

damn

I imagined that to look very satisfying

[plucky agate]

50/50

Either it happens or it doesnt

[orchid comet]

well if you have 3 doors in a gameshow, you pick the 2nd and the host reveals that the prize isn't in the 3rd door, are your chances of being right still 50/50?

[neat ore]

It's very underwhelming tbh

[orchid comet]

really?

sad

[unreal island]

nine, seven, and five

[opal delta]

xMult but for chips sounds really fun

[unreal island]

you said xchips

[opal delta]

yeah, xChips

[unreal island]

xchips is like the same as xmult

[acoustic kettle]

Xchips does nothing different other than making plasma broken

[plucky agate]

Yes

[opal delta]

still sounds fun

[plucky agate]

You either get the prize or you dont

[unreal island]

the chances of being right is 0% because you still have to pay taxes to the irs

[surreal spruce]

We already have x chips

In the game

Cmon now

[plucky agate]

Yeah it already exists. It's the red number

[orchid comet]

lmaoo real

[orchid comet]

haha no it's 66 33

[opal delta]

brooke the goat is back

[unreal island]

why are you laughing this isnt funny

disband the irs

[surreal spruce]

It’s called the flint

[unreal island]

kill all tax collectors!!!

[surreal spruce]

.5x chips

X chips

Ggs

[unreal island]

the irs existing is like playing life on gold stake

EVERYTHING IS A RENTAL JOKER

[opal delta]

brooke the flint?

[surreal spruce]

Yes

[stable glacier]

spongebob ?

[opal delta]

spongebob

[lunar zealot]

On a more serious note

[lunar zealot]

xchips is mult

Nono xchips is not xmult

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[lunar zealot]

xchips is mult

And while we're on the topic

wtf is mult

[orchid comet]

+mult

[lunar zealot]

is it like an acronym

[orchid comet]

what's xmult it's times mult

it's just easier to say and type

[lunar zealot]

Does it mean something in canadian or something

[serene forge]

my uncle lost testosterone

[plucky agate]

No it's 50/50

[orchid comet]

that was much needed

[orchid comet]

monty hall problem

[serene forge]

War Thunder players don't merely argue for enhancements - they subpoena military archives to prevail.

[orchid comet]

whenever u send something I make the face chicot has

[serene forge]

[orchid comet]

wow

what now

do I throw away three of my cards for rebate and rtb

[stable glacier]

fuck yea man

when is the buff for wild cards supposed to be coming ?

[acoustic kettle]

Next update i guess

[vestal fern]

spongebob wearing handcuffs image

[opal delta]

huh?

[lunar zealot]

Literally yes

bye parei scary smiley

hi bus hi rebate

Reroll for another scoring joker

and start turboscaling pairs

You have spaceman oops

and you're pre purple stake so you definitely survive this ante with +0 bus

[rugged warren]

threw a possible ante 39 run

got the bean glitch on ante 8

then ended up getting baron mime with 6 copy jokers with no antimatter and no dna

[vestal fern]

that one image of spongebob with handcuffs where the handcuffs are bigger than his hands

(meaning he can get them off easily but simply doesn't want to)

[hasty harness]

if only it gave me a negative skip

maybe ill get a negative from buffoon packs tho

yay

i got one

ill take a sticker on banner

[exotic orchid]

Good negative too lol.

I rarely use banner

[hasty harness]

i actually like banner a lot

wish it was a diff joker that i didnt have a sticker on

but its wtv lol

[manic talon]

10 more chips than a sly joker, but you cannot ever discard

its so ass

[hasty harness]

finally got my c+ updated

[hasty harness]

i mean if ur already playing pairs why not

i like it for early game option

[opal delta]

I know what you’re referencing

[exotic orchid]

Vampire is very powerful btw with midas mask. If you can survive 2 antes its auto win.

[manic talon]

its an even steeper cost than even green joker for a discard, but with a reward thats very mediocre

[jovial whale]

Magic Deck, Gold Stake. Had an unusual run with triple Madness

[exotic orchid]

I love madness.

Especially if i get it early enough

Plop in a eternal scaling mult and you are set.

[cerulean parcel]

Can someone do the math on wheel of fortune?

I mean is it really 1 in 4?

feels like 1 in 10

[opal delta]

you’re just unlucky

[jovial whale]

negativity bias exists

[analog mulch]

Me: uses two wheels for the hell of it and hits both

[neat ore]

I think chicot is really damn good

[karmic venture]

What should I look for? I know I need Perkeo for naneinf, but even so, I think I can go far. DNA?

[lunar zealot]

Money

you have 79 dollars

[neat ore]

DNA or wee joker would be good here maybe stuntman

[lunar zealot]

Needs at least 2k

[narrow wadi]

i don't, sure it adds consistency but other legendary jokers give you the scaling for your build, with chicot u still need to find scaling

[lunar zealot]

Consistency is everything on gold stake

[narrow wadi]

no, xmult is everything on gold stake

[lunar zealot]

chicot means you dont die to vv or crimson heart

[karmic venture]

I have gold kings so I'm not worried xd

[narrow wadi]

getting xmult goes before everything

[neat ore]

It's fun tho! I don't have to scramble for luchador each ante!

[karmic venture]

Right

[lunar zealot]

we play pairs bc they're consistent

and use consistent jokers like bus

[neat ore]

Because ya need chips I think

[lunar zealot]

Chicot can find many xmult jokers by virtue of the QoL

[narrow wadi]

this is a consistent joker because it scales your mult to win the game, on gold stake without something like this ur just not winning imo, chicot does not get you closer to winning just further from losing

[lunar zealot]

wtf no

[narrow wadi]

very few bosses rly matter in gold stake

only rly the extra large blind ones

card debuffs are kinda chill

[lunar zealot]

Needle wall arm flint eye heart vessel

[heavy heron]

genuine disbelief i survived this

[narrow wadi]

tbf i forgot needle, and heart

but unless ur a card sharp build needle is fine

and heart is fine

unless it hits the bad joker every time

[lunar zealot]

heart is not fine

Needle is not fine on many pair runs

[vale wharf]

I think I've got a pretty good run start

[narrow wadi]

eh man idk, idt chicot is bad in any way but every other legendary joker just seems better for me in gold stake

[karmic venture]

Well, the blue seals should be enough, right?

[lunar zealot]

definitely not triboulet lmao

Trib on gold stake is so bad

[narrow wadi]

tbf true, other than tribb

lol

[tacit stream]

4 jokers is workable in quite some cases and at that point chicot as 5th would be win-security

[lunar zealot]

they don't know what they're talking about

Get money find antimatter find retcon find dna make kings

find burglar beat ante 24

[heavy heron]

i disagree

[lunar zealot]

i actually don't think serpent naneinf is possible on ghost

[heavy heron]

trib is great if you’re already playing face cards

[lunar zealot]

triboulet is undoubtedly a strong joker for endless mode---on-scored xmult in general scales much higher short term than the traditionally played +mult + xmult strategy, however both outside of endless and in endless mode itself triboulet does have flaws that will inevitably show themselves; outside of endless, many players would in their right mind choose yorick or canio over triboulet on gold stake runs and this is mainly due to how the way gold stake runs generally play out, being a natural evolution of the meta---triboulet (and in the same vein, baron/mime) have a ridiculously high ceiling in terms of score, but this ceiling does not matter much in context of gold stake where the required score is at maximum, 1.2m chips (2.4m on plasma specifically)
in that sense triboulet can be an afterthought in terms of scoring; it's its weaknesses that make it significantly more vulnerable and inconsistent than yorick and canio
I say vulnerable and inconsistent and not 'weak' because triboulet is not a weak joker, it is a strong joker but it is hampered by significant flaws that are not present with its peers, yorick and canio, because it is still an on-scored joker and is thus inherently vulnerable to boss blinds (pillar, the suit blinds, plant, and of course not being able to draw your hand on water/needle/mouth etc) as well as requiring deckfixing in order to play the hands required to necessitate it and economy in order to buy the planets for base mult as well as to buy tarots and potentially jokers for said deckfixing
the fact of the matter is triboulet is not going to be as consistent as yorick or canio in terms of its being able to provide scoring for winning a run on gold stake especially due to gold stake's faster scaling and lack of small blind reward money and more notably blue stake's -1 discard

[tacit stream]

this literally filled my screen on mobile

[neat ore]

In my opinion I think canio is the worst legendary and perkeo is the best one and no that doesn't mean canio sucks it's still awesome just compared to others like perkeo it's less than stellar

[lunar zealot]

Trib is not bad on paper

But it is too volatile and doesn't offer enough to compensate for its volatility

[karmic venture]

Ahhh im confuse

[heavy heron]

well you don’t choose yorick or canio, you gamble on the soul card and take what you find; any kind of 3oak, 4oak, full house, 5oak build makes trib entirely viable for beating ante 8 on gold stake— coming from someone who exclusively plays gold stake and never goes endless

[tacit stream]

i got trib on a straight run and ended up using it as double-photo

[karmic venture]

I'll follow your advice, thanks.

[heavy heron]

i agree it’s inherently vulnerable to boss blinds but all face cards are

[neat ore]

Its ok go and find a baron pog baron

[lunar zealot]

I did not say you choose soul

[heavy heron]

you could make the same argument for photochad

[narrow wadi]

imo it is, every joker that scores before ur +mult jokers is kinda bad imo and a low win%

[lunar zealot]

i am saying trib is not good

There is a difference

[lunar zealot]

I do not like photochad either

[heavy heron]

case in point, your argument that you’re “choosing” a legendary that’s better is irrelevant

[lunar zealot]

there i said it

[narrow wadi]

photochad is not very good in gold stake

[heavy heron]

nobody does, but it’s good

it’s pretty boring though

[vale wharf]

Chat, does the game give you "forced" stuff to help you sometimes? I used the spectral card that makes all cards the same rank and got all 2s. I was pretty bummed and then they give me wee joker, whom I've never seen before

[lunar zealot]

?

[narrow wadi]

photochad in gold stake is not good

[heavy heron]

reread it if you must

i’d say that was pretty clear

[narrow wadi]

it also forces u to take one of chad/ photograph without the other which is often a bad play

and the payoff isn't enough to win a run

[heavy heron]

“many players would in their right mind choose yorick or canio over triboulet” is entirely a pointless argument

[north spindle]

nope

[opal delta]

the pharaoh’s scroll of papyrus strikes again

[lunar zealot]

In terms of fucking how they think the joker is good compared to the other

[north spindle]

you just rolled well

[narrow wadi]

i would sell tribb, i would never sell yorick or canio

[lunar zealot]

that's just a misinterpretation of my argument

[heavy heron]

that’s just a poor phrasing of argument

[vale wharf]

That's more than just well haha
I upgraded it to 64 chips in just one round

[narrow wadi]

i feel like ur the only person who doesn't understand

[heavy heron]

trib is amazing, genuinely

i’ve made my point already imo

[narrow wadi]

for high score runs, outside of that no

[lunar zealot]

I do not deny that at all

its score ceiling is ridiculously high

[heavy heron]

the amount of retrigger options in this game allows it to be good even prior to ante 8

[lunar zealot]

But again it is too volatile

[heavy heron]

and the funny part is, you don’t need retriggers for trib to beat ante 8

[vale wharf]

Wait, that's the x2 for Ks and Qs, right? That's such a good joker

[narrow wadi]

and then u get all ur face card debuffs, standard joker setups of +mult, +chips, xmult can get past this. tribb cannot

[vestal fern]

peak deck idea

+1 hand, start with an eternal troubadour

[narrow wadi]

tribb requires u to find good deck fixing and not get ur face cards debuffed

it's more consistent to just not use it

[north spindle]

afaik the only mechanics that "force" are
a) gold stake legendary priority (preferencial treatment toward ones you dont have a sticker for yet)
b) any joker other than ancient joker that has an effect that effects some class of cards picks from cards in your deck
i.e. rebate, idol, etc

[lunar zealot]

Eternal 0 temperance value troubadour that does not give abstract +mult

[tacit stream]

not really unless you're already building faces

[neat ore]

Whenever I see a ante 1 baron I always grin and immediately change my personality baron is me I'm a mime baron mime pog baron baron pog...

[vestal fern]

and cannot be ankhed don't forget

[heavy heron]

we’ve already agreed boss blinds kill face cards

[north spindle]

wheres the here win image

the reddit post

[vestal fern]

speaking of that image

[heavy heron]

go ahead and do the math on a level 5 full house with a trib with 0 retriggers and tell me the score you get

[vestal fern]

is it even possible

[tacit stream]

baron is more like a low tier rare joker lol

[vestal fern]

if you skip both sb and bb for the rare and poly tags

[heavy heron]

add any retriggers and trust me, you’re reaching 400k

[north spindle]

ankhing troubador is not very good tbf

[heavy heron]

it’s not even a question

not even close

for pair spammers obviously trib sucks

[vestal fern]

personally i have hope on this shit

[north spindle]

like i have trouble thinking of cases where that makes sense

[neat ore]

But baron is pog yes?

[vestal fern]

because the infamous baron poly mime shop has a midas mask in the Buffoon Pack

[north spindle]

its pretty bad

[vestal fern]

$6

[vestal fern]

low tier god

the polyester prince

[north spindle]

in the context of "endless runs" it is good but outside of that its rough

[narrow wadi]

this is my current build. there are 0 universes i ever don't win my run. if i had a tribb for scaling instead there would be maybe a 50% chance i don't win

[heavy heron]

LOL YEA

[heavy heron]

dude of course trib sucks here

you’re spamming pairs

as i said already, trib sucks on pairs

[narrow wadi]

i'm saying that this build is consistent

if i had tribb instead

it's not

like ante 1 tribb

is a 50/50 run win

[neat ore]

This can't be tho baron is ome of the few jokers that can naneif!

[vale wharf]

I used two ouijas on my run, 6 hand size is ruthless 😭

[narrow wadi]

ante 1 hologram is like a 90% run win

[north spindle]

trib can work its just worse than the other legendaries
if it was like, a rare it would be extremely strong

[heavy heron]

you understand that pointing out your current build and saying trib sucks in it doesn’t mean trib sucks right? LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

you’re right!!

[narrow wadi]

i think u misread my message

[heavy heron]

and i think you’re misreading my argument

[narrow wadi]

i said that if i had a tribb for scaling instead

like not my build

but a tribb build

then my run would be much more likely to lose

[heavy heron]

…scaling? trib doesn’t scale

[lunar zealot]

Meow meow meow

[narrow wadi]

tribb scaling as in like tribb, chad and maybe a sock

so the highroll

[heavy heron]

you don’t need either of the latter to run trib

like, at all

and sure a hanging chad is a high roll but your random stuntman isn’t?

[narrow wadi]

i'm saying even with the highroll tho, a standard build like mine rn is better

[heavy heron]

your argument is fallacious

[narrow wadi]

i have level 24 pairs, i do not need stuntman

i can sell stuntman and win

[heavy heron]

and you have 2 uncommons that work in any build, ever

trib would go great with them too

[neat ore]

Ye exactly! The only other jokers that can naneif is stencil and perkeo!

[north spindle]

with the highroll trib is similarly unstoppable
bc trib highroll involves directors cut or luchador

[heavy heron]

LOL bro not the stencil naneinf

[narrow wadi]

also early econ to get fast deck fixing

[heavy heron]

negative 500000 hand size

[karmic venture]

I got it

[neat ore]

It works tho! Technically

[north spindle]

sorta yeah
i mean i think this is comprable to other quite strong things in that theres not much in the game that is just winning by itself

[heavy heron]

it does, at the cost of dying instantly

[north spindle]

like its no campfire

[neat ore]

Same with like baron mime

[heavy heron]

i guess that is true

unless you got a lot of cryptids saved up to do it twice

LOOLLL

[eager lynx]

my goal is just to win. what should i do

[unreal island]

erm technically its also fortune teller

[eager lynx]

magician in the fool btw

[unreal island]

[neat ore]

I challenge someone to naneif with only uhhhh I dunno flash card

[neat ore]

Wha

[eager lynx]

BRUH

YORICK IN THE ARCANA

what is this run gng

[unreal island]

throw the run

[eager lynx]

did u not read

also deck fixing

i think im in the clear

[vale wharf]

1,000 chips wee joker!

[terse gyro]

woo, finally got the gold sticker for the cola

[vale wharf]

I wonder which one the wee joker could be 🤔

[karmic venture]

insane

[vale wharf]

What is even going on here...

Chat, is there a balatro challenge akin to C.H.I.M.P.S from btd6?

[lunar zealot]

gold stake

if you for some reason need more restrictions you can do it yourself

like no buying planets or whatever

[vale wharf]

I was thinking of no interest etc.

But yeah, I didn't realise gold stake already had so many restrictions

[lunar zealot]

play green deck

[vale wharf]

I reached orange for the first time yesterday

[lunar zealot]

no small blind money alone is a huge restriction

again if you want to make the game harder then you can do it yourself or install mods

chimps began from napsfrills which were community made restrictions in the first place

[vale wharf]

Ohhh

[lunar zealot]

also btd6 sucks ass but we aren't ready for that conversation

[vale wharf]

I had no idea about that

[vale wharf]

I do like it, but I hateeeee how late game works

[north spindle]

generally gold stake black/plasma deck are considered the hardest ones

[vale wharf]

Everything is just strong and might as well be anything else

[lunar zealot]

oh no the game is good

[vale wharf]

What is plasma deck?

[lunar zealot]

i just got groomed on the btd6 discord lmfaooooooooooooooooooo

[north spindle]

balancing

[vale wharf]

Wha-

[lunar zealot]

yeah stay safe on the internet kid

[vale wharf]

Oh, I thought that was one of the easiest because of the balancing

[terse gyro]

so close to c++

[vale wharf]

Once again, wha-

[pulsar oar]

Adds your chips and mult and distributes them equally, blinds have double the scoring requirement tho

[lunar zealot]

are you not like 15 or 16 years old

[pulsar oar]

So, say, if you had 76 chips and 4 mult after everything scores, you would get 40 chips and 40 mult instead

[vale wharf]

I don't understand what you're trying to say

[lunar zealot]

the math for plasma is ((x + y)/2)^2 where x is chips and y is mult

[lunar zealot]

stay safe on the internet?????

wtf do you think i'm saying

[vale wharf]

Ok, but why randomly? 😭

[north spindle]

its easy in low stakes
hogh stakes make it messed up

[vale wharf]

Did I do something?!

[lunar zealot]

x2 blind size is brutal

violet vessel is 2.4 million chips

[vale wharf]

The way you said this sounds like you groomed someone
Am I missing something? 😭

[lunar zealot]

i got groomed

my bad

[vale wharf]

Ah, there we go

[lunar zealot]

i will edit that message

yes please stay safe on the internet

[vale wharf]

Now that makes more sense

[north spindle]

i was assuming that was a rather unfortunate typo

[lunar zealot]

and also please do not call mods on me that was a tTYPO

IT WAS AMINSIUPT

MINSINPUT

MISOPUNPUIYT

[vale wharf]

Also, I'm 21 😭
I'm not getting groomed omg

[north spindle]

given the other context there

[vale wharf]

Oh, mooooooods

[unreal island]

ppl usually learned algebra 2 during their sophomore year at my hs

so it makes sense

[lunar zealot]

what the fuck

when i was 16 i learned calculus

[unreal island]

same

[north spindle]

calculus classes are structured in an awful way imo
i didnt have any intuition for why it worked, or indeed what it even really was, until years after i first saw derivatives

[unreal island]

yes

a lot of high school calc classes don't really get into the meat and potatoes of calc

just applications and computation

[north spindle]

even college classes dont imo

[vale wharf]

Where did you do your schooling?

[lunar zealot]

i am asian

[vale wharf]

Ah

[lunar zealot]

i know that sounds like the biggest stereotype of all ti

[unreal island]

i thought u were kami not asian

[north spindle]

i mean like real analysis and science classes do

[unreal island]

mmm yummy real analysis

she cauchy sequence on my epsilon till i n, m > N

i feel like math courses in high school should really prioritize on helping students gain mathematical intuition instead of just memorization of formulas and whatnot

actually visualizing/conceptualizing what a formula means or does

the shift between high school and college math is a really difficult one for a lot of students

including myself, who generally had high marks in high school math classes

oh uh

balatro balatro number go up

[north spindle]

tbf most ppl dont do college math
uh balatro has numbers!

i wonder if theres some interesting joker you could make with linear algebra...

[karmic venture]

idk

Owarida, I share my seed with you

AC2U1RBH

[queen kindle]

YES

[signal frigate]

Did they think you were "Gifted"?

[queen kindle]

jimbo has blessed me

[signal frigate]

Misprint and Lusty are the next to go

[stiff ore]

do i sell swash (14)

[north schooner]

nnnggh he's so pretty

[narrow wadi]

i was looking at the game so didn't notice it ig

[stiff ore]

debating on taking burnt

[south rain]

take it

[stiff ore]

i wanna try and keep my vags

[narrow wadi]

sell the clubs mult guy or baron

probably the baron

[unreal island]

i think you're just as polychrome as luchador

[north schooner]

awww

[narrow wadi]

eh maybe clubs mult guy actually

baron has more sell value

[neat ore]

Get stuntman

[stiff ore]

really baron? i was thinking about trying to get deaths and strengths to make more kings

[narrow wadi]

baron is a very very inconsistent joker

[unreal island]

uhh im calling you gay but yeah i guess that could be a compliment

[narrow wadi]

if u want funny high scores it's the best

if u wanna win it's the worst

(not the worst but bad lol)

[north schooner]

I'm kinda in the middle of a plasma pivot and I dunno if I can give anything up

[neat ore]

Baron is pog tho

[narrow wadi]

what's ur holo at?

[unreal island]

runner maybe?

[neat ore]

Barom pog

[stiff ore]

fair enough i suppose

[south rain]

everything

sell everything

[stiff ore]

also im still not sure how you get seals on your jokers

[unreal island]

invest into crypto

SELL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND BUY CRYPTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

new JIMBOCOIN

100% backed by localthunk

just uh

[north schooner]

Runner is 165 square is 142 if you count the foil. I think square goes

[unreal island]

scribble a few parts out of his will

[unreal island]

just hoping u have enough base mult

[neat ore]

I challenge you to naneif with only runner

[north schooner]

Seals go on cards, stickers go on jokers.

Jokers get difficulty color stickers when you beat ante 8 with them, and you can turn on the display in the options

[stiff ore]

ooohh they're stickers okay

[eternal anchor]

xchips is xmult until you play plasma deck 👀

[narrow wadi]

i think throwback is the only joker i have literally no sticker on

[north schooner]

Straights not terrible and I have paintbrush, but certificate/holo might make that harder

[stiff ore]

but like.. do they just get infinity stickers when you do a run on a specific difficulty or?

[north schooner]

Holo's only 1.75 but going up steady with cert

[narrow wadi]

jokers only have the sticker for the highest stake u won on them

[narrow wadi]

nice, holo is probably my favourite xmult joker

[north schooner]

What about what I said indicates infinity?

[narrow wadi]

i love getting like a familiar with holo

that's so satisfying

[stiff ore]

i just know inifinity is a sticker they can get that means you cant lose them

i dont know how they get it or anything

[north schooner]

Ooooh sorry

[narrow wadi]

that's black stake

in black stake some jokers are eternal

(and above)

[stiff ore]

so specifically black stake difficulty

[narrow wadi]

black stake and higher

[stiff ore]

nothing else will give it to them?

okay

[narrow wadi]

every stake adds all the previous stakes

[north schooner]

Infinity means eternal. On orange stake you can get perishable stickers and gold stake has rental stickers. They're randomly assigned to jokers in the shop and in packs and you can't change them

[stiff ore]

i just knew stickers werte a thing from youtubers but i had 0 knowledge of them

[narrow wadi]

most jokers aren't eternal in black stake and above

[south rain]

this joker worth?

[stiff ore]

okay thank you

[narrow wadi]

this looks wrong but i can't put my finger on it

[north schooner]

Correct.

And jokers from Judgement or riff raff will never have stickers

[stiff ore]

that is the most knowledge i have recieved about them in the past 2.5-3 weeks i discovered them

[north schooner]

Let's fucking goooo

[unreal island]

holy +mult (straight build)

[narrow wadi]

runner to like abstract joker is probably a huge score buff

(i know it's plasma but still)

3xmult with no +mult

[north schooner]

shit I forgot to hit record.

• Grabbed a justice in the shop
• next blind The Needle
• first hand drew a royal straight
• cert added a red seal ten
• glass the red ten
• throw the straight
• 🕶️walk away slowly without looking back

500,000 points, glass breaks

[woven spire]

so you could get an eternal egg?

[north schooner]

That's half. Probably would have been a good backup if I can't draw a straight.

Acrobat in the shop now. Go full xMult??

[north schooner]

Indeed, sir

[woven spire]

lmao, kinda useless

only for temperance

[north schooner]

Good for temperance value, swashbuckler. But yeah, situational

[vagrant heart]

Jokerless doesn't spawn jokers in the shop, but can Judgment appear during the run?

[mortal nimbus]

all sources of jokers are disabled in Jokerless

there was a brief period where you could both obtain Antimatter and the Top-Up skip tag to get a single joker in Jokerless, but that time is long gone

[vagrant heart]

No skirting around the no jokers rule, I see

Thank you

[tranquil cedar]

barwrong

[royal bobcat]

Tbh cheesing what is probably the most fun challenge out there is kinda lame

[violet bear]

That’s plain and sheer disrespect towards the needle. I love it

[unkempt geyser]

Holy shit

[woven spire]

Tf you trying to do with those eggs?

an omelette?

[unkempt geyser]

Omelette challenge

[woven spire]

fair

[unkempt geyser]

I also got swashbuckler

[north schooner]

The glass breaking was just too good

[woven spire]

ceremonial dagger would go crazy

[north schooner]

I'm so upset I didn't get the recording

[unkempt geyser]

Lowkey used that strat on a knife's edge challenge

[north schooner]

Temperance and fool on shop one of omelette 😭😭😭

[woven spire]

ceremonial dagger is situational, but in those situations is GOOD

[violet bear]

Quite literally just enters the game, shoots a boss blind and leaves without saying a single word

[north schooner]

Discards? We don't need no stinking discards

[woven spire]

burglar would be proud

[royal bobcat]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[north schooner]

I had a foil burgular for a bit when I was playing to square, too

[royal bobcat]

These scams are so fckn annoying nobody even falls for them bro

Hi thonk

[tacit stream]

Mark+Plant disrespect:
Ante 4 Mark running Shoot the Moon/4oak build.
Identifies the Queens with stm.
Accurately plays 4oak Queens and knocked out Mark in last hand.
Ante 5 Plant appears
Play 4oak Queens
Plant is ded.

[woven spire]

?

[north schooner]

someone posted spam and got immediately deleted. Thanks @tacit stream

[woven spire]

oh didn’t see that

[tacit stream]

not my work

[north schooner]

moderation in this discord is fast and good

[tacit stream]

i'm not a mod

[woven spire]

i see that

[north schooner]

colored names confuse me, sorry for stealing valor

[royal bobcat]

Lmao thonk is no mod

Just a humble joker

[woven spire]

good name ngl

[north schooner]

think thonk thunk

[tacit stream]

I originally go by some other name, but there was a period of time where I thonk react to a lot of stuff and then just decided to change my screen name to thonk

[woven spire]

i thought it was for thunk ngl

[gloomy sentinel]

sry to interrupt! maybe the luckiest i've ever gotten, unfortunately only green stake

[obsidian patrol]

Unfortunate you couldnt copy mime

[north schooner]

Does Hone affect Certificate? Or does certificate only create naked cards with seals?

[gloomy sentinel]

is mime better for score?

oh i see what you mean nvm

[obsidian patrol]

I mean like balancing out your mime and baron copies

Would be better

[gloomy sentinel]

yeah, brainstorm </3

[fluid wedge]

I was never booksmart, im money smart
Makes me more intelligent
Call me Ms. Rock festival cause I got hella bands

[gloomy sentinel]

crazy i haven't found an ecto:/ probably wouldn't help me since no showman and need as big of a hand size as possible but could find a blueprint maybe

i actually have no clue if blueprint would be better than the hand size lost

[obsidian patrol]

I think so

Just based on vibes

No math

[orchid comet]

got yorick early this run was so awesome

but I haven't found a single good +mult even after multiple rerolls to replace agate

there's a polychrome stm in the shop rn do I get it

to replace either of the three out of place jokers

[orchid comet]

runner at 240

straight at level 6

[orchid comet]

damn

[north schooner]

get that bag

[analog belfry]

can someone help me naninf this

scoring e53 with all red steel

[fluid wedge]

It has been improved upon

[dry remnant]

beat my first ever gold stake run!!!

[royal bobcat]

Gg!

[dry remnant]

that has taken so many hours im not even excited about it😭

[balmy ridge]

mmmmmdo red seals retrigger raised fist?

[obsidian patrol]

I think so

[fluid wedge]

IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER???

[balmy ridge]

mmmnnnokkkaaay

[royal bobcat]

It's okay it took me a while too

[dry remnant]

not a single other deck has beaten red stake so it's gonna take so long to get another gold seal

[royal bobcat]

Idk if I would've beaten gold stake with checkered first

Bad habits galore

[fluid wedge]

Okay this is just mean game.

[rough prism]

unseeded, i swear if i fail another naneinf attempt at 24 🙁 keep not finding antimatter/burglar at the end
Still need mime & boss voucher

[fluid wedge]

I recorded this bc I genuinely thought it was over and I sat there staring at my screen with my mouth wide open for a solid 10 seconds

OH
IT WAS THE ACROBAT
I FORGOT ABOUT THE ACROBAT

[lunar zealot]

acrobat is only a single instance of x3

it didn't contribute much to your overall score

[rough prism]

lucky cat got high enough most likely

[neon light]

Well that sure is one hell of a shop :-:

Kinda mad it's white stake tbf

[fluid wedge]

Maybe

[rough prism]

damn nice

[fluid wedge]

Anyways I lost the very next blind

[neon light]

Rip 😔

[fluid wedge]

Rip bezos build

[rough prism]

mime finally popped up, how many cards do i need for naneinf
i should survive til ante 30 or smthn without burglar

[fluid wedge]

Finally unlocked satellite tho

[neon light]

Should i take barron?

[rough prism]

had a fun random with treb, double blueprint and perkeo
lost after not reading my handcount properly and farmed too much gold

[neon light]

Ig not I will wait on dna to come back

[rough prism]

baron will come back eventually (hopefully), you dont need it this early

[cerulean parcel]

People will talk about ALEEB until they see MIPK41M6

That or G526920

[buoyant fog]

oh god the CRT hurts my eyes so bad

I've had it off for a while I forgot it existed

but thats sick asf

[fluid wedge]

I turn it UP because I like my eyes STRAINED and my screen BURNED like GOD INTENDED
🔥 🦅

[buoyant fog]

LMAO

[terse gyro]

4 jokers left for C++

[lunar zealot]

MY GOAT BBC

[royal bobcat]

WE LIVE FOR MOMENTS WHEN WHEEL HITS POLYCHROME ON REBATE

THIS IS THE REASON I'M STILL BREATHING

[terse gyro]

Baseball cards the goat, it actually came in clutch at the end

I gotta say tho, in the c++ journey, shout out to
Runner
Shortcut
Constellation
Card sharp
Mail in rebate
Hologram
Hanging Chad
Blueprint brainstorm
And certificate

[lunar zealot]

have you

not been using scaling +mult jokers

[terse gyro]

I have

[lunar zealot]

Okay good

[terse gyro]

Spare trousers is the goat same with supernova and bus

Supernovas my favorite cuz you can just keep spamming pair

[paper otter]

No more friends of jimbo pack in the near future?

[terse gyro]

I just think overall though, if I ever see these jokers in the shop, I’m taking them no questions asked

Also the rocket I fw heavy, shoutout to the rocket

[lunar zealot]

Try red card

[terse gyro]

Got the gold sticker for red card, I like it but I think I like the other ones better

[acoustic kettle]

Is chance based stuff happening based on seed as well

[tranquil cedar]

i believe so

cause jokers in shop are also chance based stuff

but I think you mean listed probabilities

[terse gyro]

Also lowk, ts game is evil sometimes
Today I had a run where I kept getting a bunch of aces and I wanted to strengthen them into twos for wee joker and there wasn’t a single strength in the shop. Then in the very next run after I lose, the first tarot card I get is a strength

[slate lance]

U play without crt!?

Thats like one of the best visual aspects of the game

[buoyant fog]

I think the game looks better without it

it strains my eyes as well

so its not really much of a choice for me

[slate lance]

Sounds like a skill issue

[buoyant fog]

I mean its definitely a skill issue from my ancestors with bad eye genetics fs

[royal bobcat]

xmult isn't real it doesn't exist

[slate lance]

Yeah they couldve avoided that debuff ngl

Classic blunder

[buoyant fog]

full house most hand played?

[slate lance]

Diabolical

[buoyant fog]

thats a skill issue bro

[slate lance]

Pair is easily the best hand

[buoyant fog]

You forgot the 2 in front of 2 pair

easy mistake to make honestly

happens to the best of us

[slate lance]

Dude the only good thing about two pair is trousers be fr

[buoyant fog]

nah

[royal bobcat]

fib

[trail turtle]

I almost always play flush house builds

just easier to set up

[slate lance]

Pair is good with: green, ride the bus, supernova, burnt

Etc etc

[royal bobcat]

pair is good with:
everything that doesn't explicitly tell you to play a hand that isn't pair

[buoyant fog]

2 pair also works with these if you're cool enough

[slate lance]

Exactly

[royal bobcat]

2 pair is only worth playing with odd todd, even steven, fib and pants

[buoyant fog]

yeah but like.... go for easier to get hands on later antes man

level those suckers up

[royal bobcat]

??

what's the point

[slate lance]

Yea but that requires deck fixing
Which might be hard to do depending on ur situation

[royal bobcat]

i have deck fixing vro

[slate lance]

Pair u can basically do with 0 fixing

[royal bobcat]

smh

[buoyant fog]

eh not for me, I'm a different kind of beast

[royal bobcat]

imagine backseating this hard

UNHEARD of levels of backseating

roffle's chat should be ashamed at such grandeur

[slate lance]

Whats backseating

[buoyant fog]

If this is unheard levels for you I'm shocked

[slate lance]

Whos backseatign 😭

[slate lance]

Alr pal..

[buoyant fog]

also not really backseating

[buoyant fog]

idk man I make it work

I think I've played 2 pair like 10k times or something

[slate lance]

Jesus

[buoyant fog]

I'll check on my pc when I get home

but yeah

[slate lance]

I mean ig if you want to
U still cant say two pair is better than pair as it jyst isnt

Pair is easier and better to scale with in a hundred different ways

[buoyant fog]

eh 2 pair is only marginally worse

[next thistle]

what would happen if i place the madness at the last place?

[buoyant fog]

but 2 pair has excellent vibes

and pair does not

[slate lance]

Its way harder to consecutively get without deck fix

[buoyant fog]

nothing, it destroys at random

do not take, its not worth

[next thistle]

i mean i have the knife

[buoyant fog]

Yeah fair

[slate lance]

And u have an egg

[buoyant fog]

but I think madness goes first

[slate lance]

Itll destroy the egg

[buoyant fog]

I wouldnt risk it

[tacit stream]

i think the question is will the dagger kill madness first before it kills a random joker

[ripe sleet]

YEAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[buoyant fog]

I tried before and I'm pretty sure madness goes first

[next thistle]

hmm okay better be safe than losing the game

[buoyant fog]

this run is going crazy

[slate lance]

Im balatroing it

[buoyant fog]

high card is only lvl 3 and I'm winning in 2

[buoyant fog]

might be worth to test it on a seeded run

[rough prism]

no boss reroll /voucher skip 🙁 another failed run

[buoyant fog]

what did you reroll?

was it ox?

[rough prism]

psychic

[buoyant fog]

Ohhh

[rough prism]

• not enough scoring

[buoyant fog]

dang

[rough prism]

already had my jokers by ante 10

[buoyant fog]

hey ante 22 is good at least

[rough prism]

literally just waiting for voucher tags, had 20k to reroll with

[buoyant fog]

you going for naninf?

[rough prism]

nat negative rebate was funny, econ didnt die

yeah

unseeded only

[buoyant fog]

keep at it brother, 💪 youre a different type of beast you got this shit

[rough prism]

highest ive gotten is e174, though i had setups for e280s

all or nothing :3

[buoyant fog]

DAMN

my highest score is only 900 mill or bill I think

[rough prism]

ooh thats nice

it took me a week to beat ante 6

greedy playstyle is fun but kills runs alot lol

[buoyant fog]

so true

sometimes I be fishing for royal flush on ante 6 for no good reason

[rough prism]

Lmaoo

I greeded a seed

With trib perkeo double blueprint

Sold trib to have a higher chance of blueprint

2k gold didnt reroll into any scoring

[buoyant fog]

Damn....

[slate lance]

Chat when i come home should i play balatro or ghost of yotei

[rough prism]

Gamble

[buoyant fog]

I've lost with trib I got an ante 3 before

[slate lance]

I can gamble in ghost of yotei too!

[rough prism]

Yikes

[slate lance]

There are gambling games

[rough prism]

Why not both

At the same time

While waiting for baron/mime to finish scoring play yotei

[buoyant fog]

my stupid chungus life

[rough prism]

Theres alternate art for cards wtf

[buoyant fog]

yea

go to settings and you can pick different games for every suit

theres binding of Issac, among us, Dave the diver, etc.

[slate lance]

😭 sure

[slate lance]

Cult of the lamb is cute for hearts

I wish there was inscryption for like clubs

[buoyant fog]

Yeah, thatd be so sick

[rough prism]

Ooh didnt know this thanks

[buoyant fog]

There's mods for it but idk

I wish Localthunk would enable workshop for balatro on steam

thatd be so sick

I feel like its too late for a DNA here

but also I have not been able to dupe any of my 2s

because my luck is terrible ig

[twin halo]

that was some weird invis joker luck

[buoyant fog]

fuck

[buoyant fog]

I mean if it works, it works

[next thistle]

here it is (sorry i havent installed obs yet)

[twin halo]

it sure does, funny to see 11 card hand

[twin lantern]

MAKE IT SYMMETRICAL

PUT DUO IN THE MIDDLE

YOU'RE KILLING ME 😭

[twin lantern]

full screen it 😭

[twin lantern]

thank you so much

[rocky nest]

Ah yes. Best joker in game for being negative

Also easy challange

[buoyant fog]

Well, shows ya how much I know LOL

bro...

gros michel went extinct and I have VV coming up

I'm fucked

HOLEEEEEE

fuck what do I sell

[barren wigeon]

uhh

[buoyant fog]

do i sell acro here?

or ramen

[barren wigeon]

what hand are you playing

[buoyant fog]

High card

[barren wigeon]

what's bus at

[buoyant fog]

18

because psychic screwed me

[barren wigeon]

what's wee at

[wintry ice]

what is luchador for

vessel?

[barren wigeon]

vv

[buoyant fog]

200

[barren wigeon]

sell acrobat probably......?

I think

[buoyant fog]

okay

here goes everything...

(its only black stake but still LMAO)

[twin halo]

acorn has no power over me

[buoyant fog]

Phew

[twin halo]

the easiest boss for the build

[buoyant fog]

Dude I was scrambling this whole run

got death card but no 2's showed up

strength but no aces

only lvl 3 high card

and bus got fucked by psychic

[balmy ridge]

mmmm does this guy become perished before comitting suicide? or the other way round

[buoyant fog]

I think it happens at the same time iirc

[twin halo]

there is still order of actions

[buoyant fog]

Oop

then I'm not the guy to ask

[royal bobcat]

lmao

[buoyant fog]

sorray

[royal bobcat]

me when i spread lacking information

[balmy ridge]

yes

4x4=16

[buoyant fog]

go away hoe...

I'm riding the bus rn

[pale wolf]

he disappears

it's a useless sticker

unless it is debuffed on the final hand of Crimson heart

[balmy ridge]

dag nabbit

[balmy ridge]

i got cerulean bell

won anyway

[north schooner]

Nice plasma deck start /s

[zinc karma]

Sell the deck and buy brain mime

I just got duo and poly from judge and wheel

[royal bobcat]

Time to get a loan

And die

So you can pass it down to your children

[tawdry gazelle]

Good start
First time seance was actually useful

[zinc karma]

Seance is awesome on checkered

Compared to other decks, at least

[tawdry gazelle]

maybe I should try this seed again but dupe seance instead of photograph🤔

[naive jolt]

What the frick is this seed
It's so good

The GOAT

[zinc karma]

Look at mine

[orchid comet]

ANTE 2???

[naive jolt]

Ante 1 i took a free ship skip and got rewarded with Poly card and ancient and then Ante 2 got chad and chicot

[dense wraith]

This is just the average triboulet run though

[heavy hare]

trib my beloved

[dense wraith]

triboulet can very easily hand you a free win

[naive jolt]

Mmmmmm
The scary face is helping tho

[jagged torrent]

The urge to say sell chicot

[naive jolt]

The plant got trolled

[jagged torrent]

But this could also happen

[naive jolt]

You'd have lost to the plant

[jagged torrent]

The humble glass card

[naive jolt]

Me when i no got access to glass

[dense wraith]

You don't look that doomed if you didn't have chicot alone though tbh

you got an early plant

[naive jolt]

Poiple and blue seems interesting

[balmy ridge]

i asked earlier if mime buffs raised fist

i can now confirm that it infact does

incase anyone was curios

[wintry ice]

blue seals are essential for aj

[balmy ridge]

poipole the pokemon?

oh m,y god

i just realised its called poipole because its purple and

wow this is crazy neews

[heavy hare]

slime scary face

[zinc karma]

Ye, but on gs

[heavy hare]

oh u did

[heavy hare]

i love poipole

[dense wraith]

Had that happen at least once where triboulet appears on gold stake and just carries the rest of the run

[naive jolt]

The mighty photo vs the ancient

[heavy hare]

ancient more epic and based

if u think abt it

[dense wraith]

Photochading is safe here but who cares about that, that's boring

[heavy hare]

also 1.5^7 diffs 2^3

[buoyant fog]

hc shoot the moon build ftw

[heavy hare]

also ancient joker opens up flush five and flush house scaling if u want it

[slate lance]

BLUEPRINT FROM JUDGEMENT

AUGHHHH

[heavy hare]

oh my goodness

[slate lance]

BEST FEELING EVER

[naive jolt]

Chicot...

[dense wraith]

When you get photochad plus blueprint the only thing that could possibly kill you is the plant (just find glass cards for that)

[heavy hare]

assuming u are playing flushes or variations of flushes

[heavy hare]

chicot may be goated

[naive jolt]

Double chicot

[zinc karma]

Why u coping chad?

Business?

[naive jolt]

And ancient

And red seal

[zinc karma]

Coping ancient is better for scoring

The only reason to copy chad here is business

[naive jolt]

I still did not see any wild tarot

[heavy hare]

thats so rough

[naive jolt]

Bye chad, hello sock

[dense wraith]

do I really take credit card for vampire?

[hardy fable]

I am

[wintry ice]

i wouldn't

take buffoon pack

[dense wraith]

yeah I still think vampire can cook from time to time but it is one of the weaker scaling xmult options

aannd buffoon pack has 2 eternals

I guess Steven is all I got

[wintry ice]

foil steven is great

[barren wigeon]

chip n mult

[dense wraith]

Ante 1 Midas mask

...on abandoned deck

and throwback scales horribly for how punishing skips are

[proven sierra]

should i take replace one of my jokers with brainstorm ?

[lunar zealot]

Yes obviously

bye smiley

[proven sierra]

driverlicense ?

[lunar zealot]

copy photo with blueprint and copy chad with brainstorm

and you get

x1024 mult

x3072 mult with license

[proven sierra]

ahhhh

[lunar zealot]

all in all smiley face becomes completely negligible

so it should be sold here

[proven sierra]

right2 thx man

[fading cobalt]

I love when I die to the needle cuz I didnt have a viable build ready

[wintry ice]

smiley face isn't necessary anymore

[fading cobalt]

Yep time for depression build

[signal frigate]

It's slow but it's still an xmult

I overestimated it before and thought it was the best joker in the game cuz Midas exists

It was a really fun combo

[wintry ice]

it did use to be extremely powerful when it was 0.2x

[narrow wadi]

how come the one time i see a round 1 pack madness with a rental in the shop is also the only run that gives me literally 0 eternals to pair with it

[signal frigate]

It gave a flat 2x?

[wintry ice]

0.2x per enhancement i mean

[signal frigate]

You only need one joker fr.

[signal frigate]

Oh, yeah that'll do it

[wintry ice]

ig you're going straights

[signal frigate]

Legit just a better Obelisk

[narrow wadi]

i've used it a bit more recently just that it's scaling xmult is kinda good enough when i see nothing else. even the worst scaling xmult is scaling xmult

[narrow wadi]

i did try this, didn't draw any straights, lost in ante 4

i got literally 0 eternals in the shop

not even a bad eternal

[wintry ice]

oh well

[signal frigate]

Gold Stake is good at making you use even the worst jokers and making it work
