Observatory is just worse antimatter if you think about it

lunar zealot

Your mom is antimatter

pale wolf

and antimatter is just a worse black deck

cloud sinew

but the tier 1 voucher for observatory is good, unlike the tier 1 for antimatter which does nothing

manic talon

that again

pale wolf

telescope and observatory should.... welll

How do we feel about invisible

unkempt creek
#

ok

#

im really struggling with my blue card runs, does anybody have any tips?

cloud sinew

probably given they have a fool and death and perkeo

i had one just now. solo holographic madness. i should've gotten rid of my normal cards so that i could draw my steels more often.

languid pecan
vale jetty
#

Yes

languid pecan
#

Take it over carto

pale wolf
#

is madness with only eternal econ solo madness

At worst it's 2x from the fortune teller

What's your hand levels

manic talon

languid pecan
#

Yikes

grave magnet
#

if i get holo madness again then i'm going into pairs this time.

languid pecan
#

I really hope you can hit full house consistently I guess

#

Because you're dead if you dont

vale jetty
#

I have so far

languid pecan
#

For future reference go 3oak or two pair instead of full house

vale jetty
#

First few planets were full house so I just committed

languid pecan
#

Full house only gets +5 chips over 3oak and 2 pair is way easier to play more of

#

The problem is you only get like 2 hands MAYBE 3 of full houses

vale jetty
#

I’ve opened every pack, had the spectral 6 joker and carto and still can’t find anything

languid pecan
#

Your jokers are fine besides fortune teller

#

Wdym

vale jetty
#

Yeah that’s first out when I find something else, just saying I’ve dug for anything and just cant get anything, that’s how seeds work ig

unkempt creek
#

sixth sense over chad for an ecto?

#

i have 3 6s

languid pecan
#

You might just not know what jokers are super good honestly no offense

vale jetty
#

Well I don’t have all of them unlocked tbh

languid pecan
#

A lot of players underestimate some jokers

unkempt creek
#

like red card

#

very good scaling plus mult

vale jetty
#

No red card, no pants not much scaling

proven gulch

Supernova green joker ride the bus

bootstraps

languid pecan
#

NOT bootstraps

unkempt creek
#

the list really just goes on

#

why not bootsraps

languid pecan

Bootstraps sucks

vale jetty
#

I’m ngl I know jokers by what they do not name

regal cobalt
languid pecan
#

Bull is fantastic

languid pecan
proven gulch
unkempt creek
#

depends on what youre trying to do

#

if all you want to do is beat ante 8

#

bootstraps with chips is good

vale jetty
#

All I go for is ante 8

unkempt creek
#

its literally all you need to win

proven gulch
#

red stake?!

unkempt creek
#

so yes bootstraps is good

languid pecan
#

Bootstraps is for emergencies and if you have bull already

#

Otherwise bootstraps sucks

vale jetty
#

See no value continuing after, what’s bootstraps do

proven gulch
#

bootstrap bull is not worth it

unkempt creek
#

mult per money

#

idk exact values off the top of my head

proven gulch
#

2 per $5

#

i'm unemployed

vale jetty
#

Yeah I think I did see that but I was poor and didn’t wanna die

languid pecan
manic talon
#

Bull is pretty good as far as chip jokers go

unkempt creek
#

it can technically be the fastest scaling mult joker

manic talon
#

bootstraps, not so much

unkempt creek
#

just depends on your econ

languid pecan
proven gulch
languid pecan
#

Swash supposedly counts as scaling too

#

So that

at least it doesn't cost money to use

cedar shell

should i take chad here

it would probably be pop invis and no brainstorm sell for chad

languid pecan

#

IM BEAN BUG ABUSING SO HARD

languid pecan
#

You already have like 20 mult on the hand level anyways so if you copy cavendish or drivers licence that's way more mult than you have now

pale wolf
#

unless you're just copying The mult for a 2x

hasty harness
#

i had 4 copy jokers

unkempt creek
#

worth it

hasty harness
#

gotta get that handsize tho

#

im at 21 handsize rn

#

🤑

#

still more hands to abuse with

vale jetty
hasty harness
#

just hit bean again

#

HUGE

#

im at 24 handsize

pale wolf
hasty harness
#

i had an early retcon

pale wolf
#

oo

languid pecan
hasty harness
#

its sad cuz my bean is only +3 handsize

#

couldnt find burglar but still

#

+3 handsize everytime it hits is massive

#

IT HIT AGAIN

#

27 handsize

unkempt creek
#

wdym couldnt find burglar

#

you have burglar

hasty harness
unkempt creek
#

ah

hasty harness
#

which means i had to play 2 rounds with the bean

#

cuz reroll costs were 2 high

pale wolf
tranquil cargo
#

if you can find 1 more copy joker, you have naneinf

hasty harness
#

i sold out of brainstorm to do the bean bug

languid pecan
unkempt creek
#

bean bug worth it though

hasty harness
#

so we'll see

#

whatever i can do to hit ante 39

unkempt creek
#

guys what do you think the best joker in the game would be to start a naneinf run with is

languid pecan
#

Perkeo.

tranquil cargo
#

perkeo

hasty harness
#

honestly riftraff if we dont cout legendaries

languid pecan
#

People use a mod called brainstorm just to get perkeo

compact gazelle
unkempt creek
#

ik

#

i mean i figured it was perkeo

#

but like

#

worth asking

hasty harness
#

OMG I MISCALULATED

#

i almost died 💀

crystal field
#

beefing w perkeo getting baited by early perkeo on gold stake hurts more than normal

hasty harness

30 hand size

#

is wild

#

well 27

hasty harness
languid pecan
hasty harness
#

after the hand plays

unkempt creek
#

oh wait no i was right

hasty harness
#

it gives the handsize

#

yea

languid pecan
#

It's only bad if you're trying to play for high score

#

At worst perkeo just be a golden joker

hasty harness
#

its copy like this right?

languid pecan
#

(copy a tarot card every round and sell it)

hasty harness
#

2 on baron one on mime

tranquil cargo
#

you haven't made them steel yet?

hasty harness
#

cuz imma live either way

#

might as well farm

languid pecan
crystal field
#

i feel like more often than not perkeo at most makes me my hermits but at a certain point I have lots of reason to sell before ante 8 boss, whicch would be chill but I need the gold sticker and hes the only legendary I still need for a gold sticker 💔

hasty harness
#

oh yeah bro 30 handsize 🙏

we're cooking

cedar shell

photograph common joker my ass

languid pecan

fuck the photograph

unreal island

#

fuck the idol

#

WHERE ARE THEY

languid pecan
#

Perkeo is one of the best econs in the game

tranquil cargo
#

it's also the only way to do an infinite loop in the game

hasty harness
#

big 30 handsize

#

sheesh

languid pecan
#

Perkeo kinda just be doing everything ngl

crystal field
#

I died on ante 8 big blind just recently because I had such bad other scoring options + perkeo , if I had sold perkeo for even some other form of xmult i would have been chillin. I think ur right tho because a big blunder I made was selling outmy temperances early

#

and then hes just doing nothing

languid pecan
#

Yeah you want to be maximizing economy because money is power

amber acorn rarely matters once u know this simple trick ☝️

vale jetty
cloud sinew
#

yeah

languid pecan
#

Amber acorn matters so little so long as you don't have bp or brainstorm and even if you do, your runs alr won

vale jetty
#

Never thought about that, I just looked at which ones would trigger and went off that, thank you guys

cloud sinew
#

you can also figure it out if you have start of round / select blind jokers (madness, cartomancer, burglar, etc..)

crystal field
#

thats also a fair method if your joker machine is even slightly more complicated than having 1 copy effect

languid pecan
vale jetty
crystal field
#

and eternal jokers cannot be sold which can also help against acorn ya

vale wharf

I don’t think acorn has messed me up yet in a run 🤞

I don’t even have golden joker unlocked yet lol

Unless that’s the 4 after a round

whats the odds this was an actual good nat negative

crystal field

how do you unlock him i forgot

vale jetty
#

I’m thinking if the ticket

hasty harness
#

and i was blocking

#

💀

vale jetty
#

Play 5 gold cards in a hand right?

crystal field
#

is there any rare that can help on ante 26

#

ig dna

vale jetty
#

I know the challenges but if they aren’t going to help my runs why pollute the joker pool

crystal field
#

so 1/20

proven gulch
crystal field

no dna is there now

so 0?

hasty harness

but i was rare blocking

since its a rare joker

hasty harness

etc

I can't remember the idol because it sucks as a joker

crystal field
#

truth!

languid pecan
#

I still wish perishable had a niche that made it useful, eternal jokers make it so stuff that destroy jokers doesn't work, and rental jokers makes some stuff buy for 1 sell for 1, perishable just makes it worse with no upside

proven gulch

atleast perishables act as sell value ig

I hit an even higher score

hasty harness

🤑

hasty harness
#

i got 27 handsize

crystal field
#

its based on how its worded

#

adds sell value so has to killa. joker to get the sell value

languid pecan
#

Madness does but that's because it doesn't rely on actually destroying a joker, it just coincidentally destroys a joker

crystal field
#

and madness is like destroy a joker AND gain x.5

vale jetty
# crystal field nah

Seems like they’re good with spectral cards then I’ve always avoided them even if I have eternals lol, avoided destroying ones I mean

#

Wow I’ve learned a lot today these runs are on,y gonna get easier it seems

crystal field
#

knife can be pretty good if u got good econ ya

languid pecan
#

Knife is a slightly worse red card but you need an open joker slot to scale jt

crystal field
#

stabbing baron like its the ides of march

languid pecan
#

Honestly it might be better than red card but it requires the joker slot

crystal field
#

I was thinking knife and red card are similarly flavored for how money hungry they are

vale jetty
#

I had a question but forgot shit, niche interaction I wanna know

crystal field
#

its ok and always try it out

#

winning is good but doing funny things is better

vale jetty
#

Im not playing rn just ‘theory crafting’ in my head

#

Ohhh

#

What’s rare joker blocking, saw someone mention it

crystal field
#

so when you have a card either in joker or consumables

#

it cant appear in shop

vale jetty
#

I see now

crystal field
#

so if u have 3 rare jokers for example it takes 3 rares out of the pool of potentual rare jokers

#

u can block for all card types

vale jetty
#

Makes sense, I would consumable block but never really joker blocked, seems only viable with rare prolly

crystal field
#

so if your emperor gives u mush, keep them till ur done w next shop or need the money or tarot effects for example

languid pecan
#

Don't worry about joker blocking for a while

#

That's for endless

#

Tarot blocking and planet blocking is good

vale jetty
#

Yeah, or use your planet card from a blue seal before continuing to possibly find it again

crystal field
#

well yes

#

but its always context dependent

vale jetty
#

Yeah ofc

crystal field
#

sometimes u have death or hang man in ur fool

#

and in that case dont use the planet for example

vale jetty
#

I used the same concept a lot in battlegrounds so I understand it

#

Also is your pfp shalnark?

crystal field
#

yaaaa :3

vale jetty
#

Hell yeah

My Xbox and TikTok profile pic are Frieren

unkempt creek

might be a goated start

crystal field
#

YOOOO

vale wharf
#

What are some of the most powerful jokers?

vale jetty
#

Genuine question for people that do it, what’s the appeal in going past ante 8

crystal field
#

flower pot, hit the road, etc

unkempt creek
#

so

unkempt creek
#

never done it but ive been trying

mortal nimbus
unkempt creek
#

the grind is fun

opal delta
#

would it be better to copy mime or baseball card here for the best score

vale jetty
icy hollow
#

baseball card

crystal field
#

going for high score is fun when the build can potentially take it past ante 12

unkempt creek
#

there are a lot of ways to get to the point of actually doing it

icy hollow
#

naneinf gets extremely repetitive

unkempt creek
#

its a different road to get there every time

icy hollow
#

but it can be fun to do it 🤷‍♂️ i enjoy doing it sometimes

unkempt creek
#

also ive never done naneinf so im trying to do it

icy hollow
#

cus its pretty brainless but big number

opal delta
vale jetty
#

That’s fair, it just doesn’t appeal to me, I just wanna try the multiplayer mod, seems like a pure skill multiplayer and I’m pumped if I can try it

opal delta
#

thank you bloodstone hater

icy hollow
vale jetty
#

Name checks out

icy hollow
#

but its really fun

opal delta

#

first day i got it, I played with my roommate for 8 hours straight 💀

multiplayer is an interesting exercise in how the game changes when your priorities are different

vale jetty
unkempt creek
crystal field
icy hollow
#

the stuff of "wow i took a bad choice on the judgement but it gave me blueprint"

unkempt creek
#

do i just like send it or do i wait

icy hollow
#

something like that

#

or taking the rare skip

#

stuff like that

vale jetty

#

Invis/ankh bloodstone to make sure that one bloodstone haters efforts are made in vain (it's funny)

icy hollow
#

you can even see in rarran's most recent video against bean

#

he almost beat bean

#

and bean played like 10000x better lol

#

but the shop kept rewarding rarran's bad decisions

crystal field
#

god i love rarran

vale jetty
#

I don’t consider that luck personally it’s just taking risks in my eyes

icy hollow
#

like bean got a red seal 2 and strengthened it up to a king. the moment after he did that, the next pack had a red seal jack. so rarran got rewarded for not doing that

vale jetty
crystal field
#

risks with less than 1% chance of positive outcome

icy hollow
grave magnet
icy hollow
#

and if you dont get punished for the ris

#

you got lucky

grave magnet
#

which one?

opal delta
#

this is the end for me

icy hollow
#

im not saying its bad. its extremely fun, i encourage you to try multiplayer

opal delta
#

goodbye cruel world...

crystal field
icy hollow
#

but there is definetly luck involved

vale jetty
#

In the seeds ‘eyes’ tho it’s the right choice since both players could do the exact same stuff technically speaking

opal delta
#

I made it out alive

icy hollow
#

taking a rare skip is just the wrong play

grave magnet
icy hollow
#

but if the rare happens to be a negative blueprint

#

the person who did the wrong play got rewarded

crystal field
icy hollow
#

or maybe both players have $500. but one takes a wraith for some dumb reason and its a blueprint. etc

vale jetty
#

In that instance tho it’s the right play, if it’s a possibility it’s a possibility, we just look at it differently ig

grave magnet
unkempt creek
#

i have a 14 card deck on ante 6

crystal field
icy hollow
#

the right move isnt determined by the result. its determined by the information you have at the time

opal delta
#

I reached a billion

crystal field
#

something like hallucination or cartomancer is comparable to a pareidolia in this situation

#

and pareidolia sucks on mark and plant

opal delta
obtuse island
crystal field
icy hollow
vale jetty
# icy hollow do you know what luck is

Yes, having the same seed tho means either player can technically be screwed by their own correct play seems like perfect balancing in my eyes, especially from other games I played where luck is much more a factor

crystal field
#

honestly hallucination being a common and cartomancer being uncommon seems weird to me, I guess thats the price of consistency

opal delta
icy hollow
#

i mean like just a few videos ago

#

rarran beat drspectered

#

lmao

vale jetty

#

balatro multiplayer =/= balatro gold stake =/= balatro endless

DrSpectered said smth earlier on yt about it after the finals w bean that made alot of sense actualy

unkempt creek

#

i forget exavtly but just because u win on multiplayer doesnt mean you played better or are a “better player”

yes rhat was the tldr

but then boring baron mogs it 😔

Actually it was way easier for me to get a gold stake w baron

already playing towards high card

#

but Idol is cathartic af

honestly either talisman or black hole is fine, I would lean towards talisman right now because im a little tight on money at the moment

i dont think i've had an actual idol run on gold stake ante 8 tbh

#

oops~

hallow sinew
opal delta
#

okay what should I talisman and cryptid

crystal field
#

8 ball potential

hallow sinew
#

probably the jack cryptic

opal delta
#

first boss blind is the head

crystal field
#

unironically it is either the jack or 8 i think ? and head probs doesnt matter

#

you could just settle for 1 gold seal and get the black hole too

opal delta

what if we cryptid a 7, that would be funny

Def the 6 and get Dracula and that spectral joker 😎

flower pot bluemoji1

hallow sinew

always get negative jokers. can never go wrong right??

vale jetty
#

Temperance value

crystal field
#

actually I was curious does flower pot and splash make playing flower pot pairs possible

#

and if so is this ever worth considering

hallow sinew
crystal field
#

well the idea is no deck fixing required. Get a pair and add 2 random cards of the other suits.

#

splash splats all 4 for 3x

minor portal

splash hc

hallow sinew
#

oh good point i read the thing wrong, that’s my fault

wicked warren

this is urgent guys, do i sell a mime for the extra hand size

i’m only at nine hand size

So how are updates gonna work in this game, like jokers get changed?

What about in plasma deck

i believe its even worse on plasma

bootstraps is god awful on plasma

almost if not all plus mult is shit on plasma

they dont do jack shit

vale jetty

Am I thinking of the right deck 😅

crystal field
#

maybe!

vale jetty
#

I’m thinking of bull nevermind haha

unkempt creek
#

things that give a lot of chips or a lot of xmult are good on plasma

crystal field
#

alot of xmult* its really gotta be played card or held in hand effect xmult

#

unlessu get 5 xmult scalers early somehow?

#

but by that point ur just wanting chips anyway

unkempt creek

i have a decent build

wicked warren

vale jetty

Don’t you need dna then, never mind forgot about cryptid

crystal field

dna in this case will make more handsize

What’s the easiest deck to get gold stakes on?

What’s the last deck to unlock is it any fun?

unkempt creek

but ngl i dont rly play ghost deck so idk

crystal field
vale jetty
#

What’s it do

icy hollow
#

your deck is randomized

#

so you can start with like 10 kings lmao

vale jetty
#

That sounds fun af

unkempt creek
#

i did not lose

#

i had enough glass

#

im okay for now ig

#

im in desperate need for scoring

vale jetty
#

We believe in you

crystal field
crystal field
#

but when u get that one seed

vale jetty
#

Are any of these jokers worth unlocking?

crystal field
vale jetty

the 18 or fewer is wee which is the best chip scaler in the game

i mean

Gah damn

orchid wren
#

Holy bafoon pack

crystal field
#

its been said a billion times but no such thing as bad joker

unkempt creek
#

damn man

#

i lost

crystal field
#

all jokers are situational etc

#

so better to have every available option imo

cloud sinew
#

there exists a situation where every joker is good, sure

#

but some jokers are bad in like 799/800 situations

#

i.e showman, idol

crystal field
#

i dont see that as a good idea

vale jetty
crystal field
cloud sinew
#

and i agree that there are jokers that do that

cloud sinew
crystal field
vale jetty
crystal field
#

but thats so negatable imo

cloud sinew
crystal field
#

esp considering how big the pools of each joker is that theyre all somewhat rare as it is anyway

crystal field
frank raft
#

seance is peak

cloud sinew
vale jetty
crystal field
#

the thing is you dont know which jokers you want until you are clear into the run

#

i still think its worth unlocking everything

cloud sinew
crystal field
#

it wont make your experience worsened by doing so

vale jetty
#

Yeah I get that, I guess it matter more earlier in the antes to stay alive or start building econ, later antes don’t really matter

crystal field
#

exactly

#

more options is better, its not gonna be a situation of rolling into stm and being like

vale jetty
#

That’s why I’m doing it tho for the earlier antes

crystal field
#

“wow i wish i never unlocked you”

cloud sinew
#

but it does, so this isnt necessarily true

crystal field
#

I mean,

vale jetty
#

Yeah that’s my mental roadblock

crystal field
#

play the game how you want Ill never tell you what to do

#

but thats my own take on the question

vale jetty
#

In other games I’ve played even a 2% increase of something is worth it if it’s gonna win me the game

#

That’s fair

crystal field
#

I mean same works for bala

#

but i dont think gettng more jokers in the pool will lower that

cloud sinew
icy hollow
#

I would say for you specifically though. although getting worse jokers will overall make the pool worse. getting those jokers (for a newer player like you) would allow you to improve more imo. 🤷‍♂️

crystal field
icy hollow
#

like getting into more different situations

crystal field
#

unlocking a joker doesnt mean now you see other jokers less

icy hollow
#

thats exactly what it does

cloud sinew
#

that is how that works

crystal field
#

in theory yeah

cloud sinew
icy hollow
#

in practice yeah

crystal field
#

but with 2 card slots in shop

icy hollow
#

holy me and lilo locked in 🤝

crystal field
#

the difference is negatable

#

even with 4

#

Even at work I’ve optimized my work down to the amount of mouse clicks I do to save time it’s just how I think 😭

crystal field
#

I still feel like these are bad arguments for not unlocking everything in the game

cloud sinew
#

I take tarots to stop it from appearing, it's only removing 1 tarot out of 22 but the difference across every roll is huge

crystal field
#

sorry

sly bolt
#

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

vale jetty
cloud sinew
icy hollow
cloud sinew
#

so then why do you disagree with one but not the other

crystal field
icy hollow
#

but more bad jokers unlocked directly means a worse joker pool

vale jetty
#

I didn’t mean to start an argument in here guys I’m sorry 😭

crystal field
#

I think theres no reasonable argument for not unlocking the jokers except if the requirement is unreasonable

#

like seeing double

cloud sinew
crystal field
#

but still worth to try and unlock them all

cloud sinew
#

seeing double is one of the easiest conditional xmults to activate

#

up there with blackboard and duo

crystal field
#

the condition to UNLOCK seeing double

vale jetty
#

I think it’s reasonable to me cause the less runs I do is less time playing to complete the stakes

cloud sinew
#

also that's like

#

not relevant at all really

crystal field
#

it was basically an example for one reason why one might choose to avoid unlocking a joker

# cloud sinew why do you keep saying "thats just how I like to play" and stuff like that, it f...

To be fair, you have to have a very high lQ to
understand Balatro. The mechanics are
extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp
of theoretical mathematics most of the
factors will go over a typical player's head.
There's also Rarran's nihilistic outlook, which
is deftly woven into his characterisation - his
personal philosophy draws heavily from O gracious king Spectered's literature, for instance. The players understand this stuff;
they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the equations, to realize that they're not just complex- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Balatro truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Jimbo's existencial catchphrase "Maybe Go
Fish is more our speed..." which itself is a cryptic reference to Murle Robbins epic conflict with Crazy Eights l'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as LocalThunk's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Jimbo tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only-
And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 lQ points of my own
(preferably lower) beforehand.

for the future, if you run into other issues while you are playing modded, try to replicate the issue with steamodded disabled as steamodded itself (even with no mods) can cause issues.
