You can beat vv
FACE ME
My erosion joker watching in horror as I spam incantations, dna, familiars, and standard packs to make my hologram strong
nyehehe
Arcana pack just gave me every suit tarot and a emperor that gave me the last suit tarot that wasnt in the arcana 😭
Why does erosion scale so fast
why should it not scale fast
To make it worth using
looks like early poly rebate and blueprint is pretty strong chat
who would've thought
cuz rare
$40 per round assuming you can discard all four of a rank
Joker stencil killed me ✌️
which it rarely is
I hate stencil lol
World’s most basic gold stake run
W
Counterargument, black deck
Actually i think i have something more basic
Its a fuckin savior on black deck
dies anyway cause no mult to X
red card in his worst day owns your fave in its best day
I need to find a seed that gives me multiple stencils one day, never played one of those before
Ok well you die without mult anyway you might as well highroll
no chips to mult,
no mult to X,
no money to reroll,
no arcana to open,
you are the jimbo.
The seed kept giving me a good joker build but the only xmult I found was acrobat, flower pot and stencil. I should've taken acrobat but I skipped it early into the run
who has the reference chat
nah
most basic would have a chips joker
I love acrobat
OH MY GOD I BEAT THE BLIND
this game has so many fun jokers
FUCK YOU THE FLINT
idr like square
Neither do I but damn does lil bro get the job done
yeah but before you know it, you have chips equalling stuntman
oh yeah runner chips is nuts lol
where i don't really like square
He's a square quy
square is not often getting stuntman chips ime
thats like
63 hands?
I like castle :(
blue stake rework before i play with castle
Even if not you can kinda buff it slightly with foils or planet levels so it's pretty much the same, and no need for the hand size nuke lol
Castle is fine even on blue
im not saying its bad or anything
obelisk haters have never used square
i love the jimbo sticker
wasn't there also a dissertation that square also happens to scale at just the right pace so you can really milk mfs like bus and grimbo
the ace of spades in the menu should have a different edition based on your C achievements
foil when C
holo when C+
and poly when C++
Bro my aces keep getting bottom decked I need to deckfix asap
Damn this run was cracked
The real issue is playing a hand that can get bottomdecked, play pairs instead
Canio was on a killing spree
negative rocket 
grim lowkey one of the only reasons aces kinda good
killing spree but still 50 cards goddamn lmao
New mortal enemy found i hate the water
familiar also sort of
imo
ehhh
I was getting more to satiate his bloodthirst
if you're going for faces yeah
fib
you dont take familiar late for aces but it does turn into them
for a specific card not really
fib is like
I love fib
im always so happy
same
Tread lightly
I thought you were gonna slander my goat
somehow i still dont have a gold stake fib or rocket
i think i only have like 13 stickers left
its def under 15
I used to not like the mult on card jokers but then I realized five good ranks equals roughly 50 mult which is what you want grim, bus and so forth to get to
rocket carried so many gold stakes for me
fib and onyx agate my goats
i hate it on gold stake
it's pretty insane
eh not really, VV is pretty easy if you're not on a barely scraping by burglar grimbo build
so, which one is the hardest?
chrimson heart is probably my least favorite
though vv is harder on average probably?
Crimso isn't that hard but yeah is annoying
The difference is that the +1 per Hand ones apply to every hand and the +Mult on Scored X may have hands miss
"hehe i disabled your x8 you spent the run playing around fuck you"
None are hard, it just depends on what you have built
lmao
Bro I haven't been finding strengths
i mean crimson heart can just say "nope!" unless you have a truly crazy build
what i dislike about crimson is that it kind of punishes you for playing correctly
The needle might kill me
I think the only time the shuffling boss got me was when it shuffled my ceremonial dagger into killing my hologram
tbh Crimson isn't that hard when you have 2 Xmults
but i understands some people hate on Crimson
I instinctively moved my holo to the far right and the dagger slain it
Do i go for a 4oak build here? or do i sell and reroll
Not my proudest moment
is basicassly playing luck with your hands
bell is the anti-five hand/anti-didn't deckfix boss
heart is the anti-I didn't scale my jonklers enough/I rely on my jokers too much boss
verdant leaf is the anti-all my mult comes from my cards boss/I also rely on my jokers too much boss
violet vessel is the anti-scraping by burglar grimbo boss
amber acorn is the anti-blueprint boss/I don't know how to savescum boss
too early and black deck
vv is def the biggest obstacle for most run ends
you have no good card
you have one less hand
you don't go dna here
i mean
i wouldn't advise you to
you can
technically
but it's not a good idea
Ignore dna
You don't have the hands to spend on DNA
Dna is potential joker
DNA doesn't help you get 4oak, hanged man does
yea thats fair actually i don't even have the hands
idc VV is the hardest in general runs
even if they did it's A2 they have no good card to dna
What do I copy
What about eternal glut, i kinda need mult
I play only on zodiac so I usually overscore 
dna is good if you have a poly card or a red seal lucky or glass
maybe a purple seal
not like
I actually fucked up by not knowing that it can kill during a round
blank cards
Depends on what’s in the shop
vv does not only kill u if ur barely scraping by
yea ik, ngl black deck makes me play desperate
3x is a lot
jack shit
on some other decks I think I would take the DNA to use and Sell
What you really need is chips since Jolly is solid
that's cool, i usually do alot of C++ do yeah sometimes i hate when i'm playing a meh deck VV appears and i have a really meh build
What's your deck?
Oh yeah for sure lol
Straight naked cards, pulling up to the function without a single dress on
chat is it lame that i mostly play ghost deck
vanilla
Guys 
No, ghost deck is good
Actually, it's too early for a DNA yeah
No ghost is super fun
depends
spectrals in teh shop are fun
I don't wanna die to the needle at ante fucking 7
i love spectrals
Buy it and sell it
I'll just use calc
and i like seeing more of them
I mean TAKE it and sell it
Chat died
Zodiac for me is the boring one
Plasma is fun though
Takesell, look for a chips source (preferably that applies to Pairs so you can pair spam)
green 💀
Green is ass
aight yea seems about right
oh GOD i tried a "hd balatro" resource pack and i hate it
For me, it's Magic, Ghost and Yellow
DOG
Getting gold cards and throwing poly on them makes my cards look so got dang pretty
what is blueprint
Can i even take this? this is way too expensive
The fact that it punishes you for something you've no control over for the first few antes
and green makes me not care about interest
wdym, it's just blueprint
no the texture
if you take it you needa take Scholar for chips I think
And that it completely throws away an important mechanic that all other decks rely on
I love magic deck
you have rebate so
yeah
You’ll get the money back with BP + Rebate
Blueprint is always a yes
OH yea i can blueprint rebate right
another const run 💔
So flexible with ball and 2 fools
make sure to copy rebate when discarding
And you have rebate, you can easily make that money back
mhm
Chat wasn't loading and now my internet made me look schizophrenic 😭😭😭
it is a yes here though
?!?!
It's a good joker so, win.
what’s better than one of the best Econ jokers? two of the best Econ jokers.
It's Blueprint but woman
Average Balatro player, scared by women
I imediately accidentally won too fast
Do you usually copy planets or wait for an econ/fix tarot with the fools?
Sorry wrong reply
It's called a joke
hmmm
Meant to this
no flat mult iin shop
she is pretty scary though
do i hope for a planet or go wild on an aura
Well, I'll answer anyways but planets are probably the best uses for the fools yeah
okay if i die because i get foil i'll blame it on you
Zodiac is fun because you'll see stuff in the shop, Plasma is worst just because the strategy is: "full chips then pivot full xmult" theres no more strategy just play chips then full mult, most of scaling jokers suck ahh, most of chips jokers are garbage in later antes and the strat is always the same
3 mercury levels is fair
lucky you it's holo
nooooo
WHAT
LMAOOOO
lol skill issue
Killing myself
was it with Scholar
That's the thing, Zodiac for me is boring because it's good
No
GOLDEN BOI AND WEE IN THE SHOP? too bad it's not what i need
WAIT
Hanged Joker
ffs it was a 3oak not a pair
I'm not gonna diss it because I think it's "bad"
Probably is one of the top decks
"Cucked by"
💀
i think im deadge chat
deckfixing boring
insane
Damn…
i'm just stupid
Probably lower value cards
Why'd you not sell the seance before using it?
sticker
I hate seánce
suck ahh even on sf builds
I'd much prefer an uncommon that does something
getting value with seance for the sticker is kinda crazy tbh
Otherwise, it's a waste of fucking space
It does do something
gonna roll and hope I get another joker
heh.... heh.... blue seal
Like what, once in every 200 hands
That's a cute looking blue seal
i like this mod
that's literally all it does though lol
slugs
someone should make sealatro
most jokers have only one function 🧠
all jokers are seals
i mean the mod
Oh lol
I love Vanilla friendly mods
No I thought it was the seance convo
So that's a win
its not that straight flushes are hard that makes it bad imo
like tarots exist
its more that over half of the spectral pool is actively bad at any given time imo
o ok
I looked away from the monitor for a few seconds
ouch right after the boss blind
That and also it requires a straight flush
ya same, i've never even tried any content mods in my 400 hours
So it adds up a problem to another problem
I prefer to see it as trading tarots for a spectral by using them to make a Strush
that's a pretty cool way to see it
Too much effort for so little benefit that actually actively harms you because half of the Spectrals are dogshit
if it consistently gave trance or something it would be like
actually good i think
do i go CRAAAAAZY chat?
Which is realistically not gonna happen too often
Absolutely, you got a good eternal over there
English isn't my "colonial" language but anyone can explain me why exactly "Seal" it's used for the seal thing and then animal Seal?? like you can just add a h or any thing in between to not confuse it, like "Hi" and "i" idk
Just find a good eternal +mult
No, you can actually win that lmfao
just scale planets since you alrd have poly const
i guess so
Take the madness, keep the +mults for now
also why take an eternal golden
Hope that it doesn't immediately kill them
You'll be amazed to learn the word "set" has at least 200 meanings
Eh, he still have other slots to work with
true, but why lol
it’s trading generally bad tarots (suits, wilds) for potentially high power Spectrals, and Spectrals in the consumable slots are generally much better than those in packs for several reasons
does your language not have homophones
english is just Like that
also hi is pronounced differently than i (h is not silent)
It's specifically to trick prospective green-carders coming into the country
You got us

Seal of approval n such, it's another word for a let's say bottle cap
English is conglomeration of homophones and synonyms and different languages and everything makes it beautiful artistically
just wait until you hear what “ough” sounds like
GG
Somehow was more stressful than my gold stake runs
Wonder why.
Though Aces run seems really fun
That used to be my favorite combo
Yep
But I was a newbie back then
exactly, to not confuse thoses two words, seal using the thing and the animal is weird can you idk add a H or something to not confuse them
also yeah I don't know what they were talking about with the I and hi thing
like sheal idk
That would be pronounced completely differently
There's like 4 meanings of that word
As I and hi are
hmong?
English is just stupid
It may have been stressful but it was fun and payed off
that's the point, to not confuse thoses two things
And we accept that it's stupid
English isn't stupid, it's a melting pot
There was no alternatives either
fr?
The seed just said go do aces lol
It can be both
i just downloaded like 10 new mods and these are the blind names
doesnt Set have a bajillion definitions
it is both
idk which one is doing this
the goth
A lot of common words have lots of definitions because that is how language works
Army seal, envelope seal, seal the animal, the wax seal
I still intentionally do ace runs
Bro would have a meltdown to learn a ton of words in Mandarin are pronounced exactly the same
How this is on the App Store
It's a little weaker so I'd now use different stuff
pff ok thats amazing
LOL
because Apple has no values
i want to turn it off but idk how
Dude's dating a Goth Girl
You GOTTA keep it
ok i mean
from what i understand modern english originated as kind of a fusion between french and a germanic language at the time
we also have no formal language authority and it is common to just rip words from other languages to describe things that dont have an english word
as a result spelling rules and word roots are all over the place
Japanese is the same too actually lmao
she's more emo than goth
Alot of words have the same meaning there too
Vietnamese too lol
konnichiwassup
they're one of the first ranks I deck fix for especially with lack of direction
I can guarantee that whatever language they speak has similar examples
Majority of Asian languages
konichiwagwan minna-slimes
oh, i get it thx
I mean, to be fair, when we look at it in a different way, that's most Languages
Some words are even going extinct now
buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
it would be cool that languages make words to each thing but i guess that would be a problem to people that wants to understand new language
idk
also looking it up on wikipedia
seal animal vs seal object are actually completely separate origins; one is germanic and one is latin
You'd get publicly executed on Twitter if you say that there
my alarm went off so I had to turn it off
etymologists 
dude what the fuck did they do to my boy
My dog got close so I have to close the door
that's the HUEVITOOO joker
it's a Curi momo joker
yeah
i was under the impression that english had it particularly bad in this regard tho
This is the same mods Yahiamice would install
lesson learned: don't install random modpacks without reading descriptioons
Ehhhh no, not even close lmfao
why are we talking about common language in a balatro server
We don't have gendered words in our language
I set the set down on the table I set
Wdym? Isn't this the Language server?
I think that’s right
vietnamese writing when I forget the one accent mark on the letter d
or any of their vowels
because the rules said that we should talk in english
idk
Also Seal is another word used in a kitchen
That's funny
This is also funny
oh also fun fact
a lot of times you can tell a word in english is french-derived if its in a more formal register than a synonym
e.x. pretty vs beautiful
Our country also adapted Spanish into our culture, so some of their words rubbed on us
I think it's a known fact that Filipino and Spanish folk look almost identical
Due to the whole 300 year colonisation thing
pareidolia
im under no illusion other languages dont have their own quirks
talking specifically abt how theres a decent # of words with two completely divorced meanings despite being spelled identically to each other
Pareidolia, Kanye West and Trading card is a dream combo I wanna get
balatro
I don't think I've ever had that combo happen which is very surprising considering how much I played this game
canio?
I wonder if stoned jimbo is a good pickup here
the more i play the more i think mime is really good actually
i had that run once
Yes, that's what I call Canio.
I want a texture pack that replaces Canio art into a picture of Kanye West
pareidolia is silly
what a weak card
it's decent
It has its uses but most of the time, it's just collecting dust
MADNESS
It's best usage are REALLY strong though
i had a photochad abandoned deck pareidolia run once
Royal Flush
that was pretty funny
:<
Mime is amazing, assuming you're playing pairs or high card
i agree mime is good
it doesnt have that many combos... luckily gold cards are easy to get and blue seals are extremely strong
Canio and Midas Mask loves Pareidolia
And it becomes really good when those two come to mind
also the other face card econ jokers can make it ok
Now you realised that?
In hand effects are just strong in general
CRIMSON I SWEAR TO GOD
stm 
chart 🔥
should be fine
You're fine, you can buy another joker to block it
The one time I had Canio Parei it was on Abandoned and I got nothing to destroy cards but needed to gold sticker Canio
well i knew it was strong but i find it to be more viable than i thought
It can't kill during bossblinds so
make sure to get a 5th filler joker for heart to disable
i mean you only have 2 jokers for scoring so ur probably fine (clueless)
It's like, one of the more viable high winrate jokers for Goldstake
It doubles the values of Gold Cards and Blue seals which are insanely strong on their own already
how racist am I feeling today (crimson heart)
i think that wins?
Absolutely
yup
flushes 🥀
a mil
when you leveling up your planet from your poker hand you gain alot of chips, the idea of this is that chips jokers that you get early stop being so good and then you translate to a better joker like a econ, xmult or even a scaling joker, which is the % moment where a base chip joker isn't that good?
2 in a row gang
when the joker only gives 50% of the chips
Mime just turns steels into nukes
3 wins in 4 runs
or even less
You can keep going
my laptopt is running out of battery
Next time, try pairs for a madness run actually
depends
also on what you have to replace it
It's way easier to do also make use of Mime this way
i needed flat mult and the only leveled hand i had already was flush
i couldn't choose
it was ante 3
when i picked up madness
You had like 5 antes
by ante 4 i had 23 spades i dont think pairs was allat interesting
15 rounds is probably good enough time to make use of Pairs
like my cap was my flat mult and pair would've been so slow
example, a sly joker, 50 per pair, i already have alot of levels in my pair, 100 chips and 8 mult, so basically is just 50% of chips
i already had 10 mult in flushes
Mercuries would've solved that
then i see another xmult joker
no shit
You had blue seals no?
if u care abt mult from the planet
flushes seem very defendable
but it would've taken 14 mercuries to get to my jupiter level
i don't think it was worth it
no
Flush is usually slower when it comes to scaling
particularly since you had deck fixed
The upside for Pairs is that it's easy to level it up
i know that pair is the meta chat
but i had no reason to ditch flushes there
at all
im talking abt this specific game
not in general
It's just a point of reference for the future at least
I know your flush is already high leveled
by the time i wouldve made pair as good as flushes, i could've made flushes (which already were 100% consistent) much stronger
Also, I still think 15 rounds is enough time to get it up and running, at least for jumping between flush and pairs, it's a good backup to keep in mind in case of a fucky draw
i mean if they actuslly had 23 spades by a4
idt not drawing a flush would be an option assuming normal hs/discards ?
Idk how my brain brushed past that
It's fair then
oh yeah esp with immolates lol
ghost?
youd play several a round easily
crickets
ghost is fun
when i play modded i sometimes use the deck sleeves mod to slap ghost on top of whatever modded deck im running
How it feels seeing money from lucky cards
ghost + plasma is craaaazy good
FINALLY GOT SATELLITE 🤡🤡
Just for completion dawg
o fairsington
No its not an opinion its a fact
nah, it just the worst econ joker, and econ jokers are great
i think its mmmm maybe the second worst econ joker
i think golden is worse
I didn't even see what it does yet
purely because satellite has higher potential
i mean its often bad but it gives u money at least
but its close
Whats the worsg one?
see above
Wild take
golden gaves you already the money in the early rounds, the wqorst are satellite and maybe Delayed
nah golden early game is an incredibly strong pull and it also takes literally 0 investment
delayed is almost definitely the worst
How many new jokers do yall think we're getting in 1.1?
too specific don't you think?
just dont take it if its rental
eternal its still totally worth taking
I think either 50 or 25
and drunkard and pairs
uhh no?
it gaves you the same money as golden but you can't play discards
if it is rental sometimes you can take it for a net $0-$1 per round anyways and its fine actually though obviously extremely replacable
discard voucher, grimbo, drunkard, probably more i can't think of all synergize with delgrat
lol i didn’t know that legendary jokers were based in actual real life jesters and they did perkeo DIRTY LOL
it's better when you're in red or with the discard vouchers but even with that another econ jokers are better
I love sly
and you barely need to discard for pairs which you should be playing anyway (on gold stake)
I was being outscaled in ante 5 then picked up sly and started outscoring
plasma deck
? No
each of these add $2 per round which is
not good value for a synergy
yeah, i like delayed but tbh a golden would be better in early
sly is good lol
delayed is zzzz
well except grimbo who just already discourages discards
you don't need to play plasma to make it work
hi
I just drank water
now im thirsty cuz i forgot my water bottle at home
if you started w 3 discards delayed would be bad still but worst econ joker would probably have any actual competition?
no but why did you said plasma deck
because its exceptional on plasma
just good on others
do you even know what plasma deck's gimmick is
gimmick
is typing
irony
I will start with 0 discards
ig this is also specifically like $ generating bc if not the worst econ joker is seance for sure
idk if seance is classed as econ but it does really suck
seánce counts as a generator/support joker
most threatening verdant leaf
my 8 ball value..
still sucks in his job
BALATRODLE SPOILERS
yeah no shit... value generation != econ
dude econ and generators are kinda diff
hi chat so what's
yeah lol
hi teto
i'll just block you instead of entertaining your ragebait
I love Teto
i think theres an argument that separating out $ gen specifically is incorrect
I wanna sniff her hair
sure whatever
why
she's my wife
I love Miku
that's cool
I wanna sniff her shirt
popipopipo popipo
you like sniffing women
my wives only
FINALLY jesus
Thats just purple stake 😭
is that the right king
idk
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I don't know history well
one of the kings of england had like 16 wives
then got assassinated with a rock or something idk
amateur.
Fuck ass pair build carried by space and blueprint
I have around 60,000
🔥 chills bro... chills
do NOT diss my boy card sharp
that's a good blueprint
walkie is also decent
Pairs are just busted
bluey go 🔥
my brother likes bluey
personally I don't see the appeal of blueprint
to win purple stake?
Gold stake painted deck was a million times easier
like ok, you can copy the joker to your right, what now?
i will card im a card sharp hater
does nothing in 2 of the hardest boss blinds
true blueprint and brainstorm both suck
YEa

clearly not?

Y'all got any jokers that you know are not necessary/helpful for your run but you're tempted by anyway? (Mine is Card Sharp)

Immaculate deckfixing
oops
maybe a tarot gen joker? idk i like all jokers in my runs
badstone 
GG
will forever need to agree with the dogmatic teachings of the game discussions channel
Vampire
In case of midas synergy
but its whatever im playing white stake for funsies who cares if spades has 250 chips for their arrow they dont have the badstone
But I never get midas 😔
mid ass
midas is fun
i am very often taking it also lol
It's not quite joker's I don't need, but rather Jokers that would be good in almost any other situation except the one I happen to be in at the moment, like having to pass up on obelisk or campfire or constellation when I just don't have room for them
What kind of run has no room for campfire what
already hard winning
Do you happen to play green deck alot or smth
One where I'm using all of my jokers for scoring and value
or needs reliable instead of explosive xmult
if I get rid of the value Joker then I have no income for campfire, and if I get rid of the scoring Joker campfire won't catch up to where I was anyways
more often than not early campfire is a good way to reach the scoring and blow past it with no rewards whatsoever and then starts to be a midoff vs whatever puny xmult you could have grown with the same amount of cash
That doesn't sound like it happens commonly at all tho
fairly commonly
thats why Zeba said that "In this situation it doesnt fit"
if I need to use the stuff I would otherwise sell if I had campy
It's not most of the time but it's some of the time
damn people can see generalizations even in "Only in specific situations though"
Campfire gives so much damn mult that i really cannot imagine a consistant lineup of jokers that makes it not pickupable
like const or vamp
i still need to sticker campfire
makes sense w bad eternals i think
because its not consistently like that, the person themselves said in specific situations where picking it up just wont do that much good
Ok actually eternals make way more sense now
plus the usual (albeit almost nonexistent) downsides of campfire
I kinda forgot about eternals for some reason
sometimes you just already have a fixed winning run that wouldnt take kindly to removing one jonkler from the equation to slap on the money hunger beast
or if it shows up so early that taking it would tank ur econ bc its expensive and does nothing without even more money invested
it's mentally normal to still playing this game even after i C++ ?
i have like 2 another files with c+
or lack of better consumable gen with rare source of econ. having two rentals made me skip foil campfire pick
it lets you not die but after that singular specific amount of Xmult feeding it more directly is doing nothing
anywyas gotta beat dead horse

BUT WHAT ABOUT CAMPFIRES POTENTIAL!!??!?!
I've just been playing modded after c++ing
WHAT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MULT IT CAN GIVE YOU!!?!??!
it doesnt let you not die without "even more money invested"
yeah but i still making files to make c++ again
uh, is sugar addictive?
If the game is fun why not
it's normal to do that?
of course it is silly head, now you can even play mods without fearing you have to use steamunlocks for the trophies you earned
like, i c++ then i make another acount to c++ again
im soon to be 5 c++ profiles in
maybe we're insane
that's cool how did you make so many files? i have like 3 accounts to my files (2 from steam and 1 from mobile)

bruh how are people getting madness runs
i don’t know i just found him ante 2
For the life of me of all jokers idk how to play that one
i really want to play sls but i don't havbe money
and i was like well sure
i prefer balatro over sts for random play because runs are much shorter and don't require as much brainpower for me
i wasted all to my gf :(
you play black stake or above and just
sts is pretty cheap
The humble getting a shit ton of useless eternals:
take eternals, really
ah well theres the issue, i'm grinding gold stakes mainly
see i kind of got lucky because i found an ankh so i had 2 eternal madnesses
that or double madnes
with 1 you play a little differently
OH OKAY GOOD
me too!
it can eat itself so an eternal madness is needed
do you think madness and throwback could be buffed a little bit
so you will find eternals
i personally find Balatro better than isaac becuse how balances the game is, in isaac you get a tier 4 item and you bascially won most of the time

i mean an eternal raised fist was all i needed w the 2 madnesses
Thats fair actually
i was lucky they were foil too so like i hardly needed planets
i kind of just won i’m ngl
like
madness just scales itself too well
isaac has higher highs and lower lows than balatro, balatro is way more consistent in this regard
Which isn't a bad thing
ankh on eternal madness has to be one of its strongest cases
and if you dont you are forced to either press R or be tortured by the ghost of a random reddit user BITCHING in your ear about how the game is balanced and you are a doodoo head if you ever press R after not wanting to play with butter bean and lunch as your first floor
my dad have 9k hours in a game that he's still playing even before i was even borned
for most madness runs you take eternals with it that will be necessary in the moment; madness does nothing ante 2-3 so you need smth else in the meantime
Eternal stencil hex ankh
Issac is super rng heavy but just enough skill is required to surprise you with being able to win more runs on average than balatro i'd argue
I'm not good enough at isaac for that
imo eternal madness is a better ankh than that usually
My winrate on balatro is way better
I've met kids that aren't even this many hours old
Same actually, my mechanical skill has always been lacking
with an incredibly more miserable experience at that while getting the same bad rng you would say a bad balatro run is
yep, isaac in early floors is so boring imo, balatro in high stakes is a constant administration of resources, i like that
it is funnier probably but not better
i'm really a strategy game fan
this took longer than anticipated
yeah thats about to be me with terraria and gd, maybe it runs in your familly actually
strategy started with sudoku and codenames for me
+ONE GRIMBILLION MULT
move your blueprint for double infinity to unlock a secret jimbo cg scene
with me Plants vs zombies and Warcraft III
Honestly even here blackboard could prolly be sold
thoses two games are just amazing
♾️ chips
i love Warcraft III
I would've said pvz if I didn't suck at it in my time
i wouldnt myself
[insert the whole copypasta of Meet Potential Chatter! here]
sadly his remaster suck ahh
actually now that i think about it without an econ joker campfire is less consistant
i mean i would sell blackboard there to replace it with seance or something for a sticker
But... higher ceiling!
barring entering ante 8 with like 50 dollars
if i have a normal 20-30 then idk about camp
they just like playing gold stake
I feel like you already know this is not the scope of the conversation
lol
i don't understand the people who just punt his E score in the profile
you're not selling blackboard given other jokers already supplementing the scoring conditions
Nanlets
but they do
vic forever has her failure in her server nickname which i relate to a lot
Thunk took a lesson from cloverpit and now you have to win with a joker 3 times in golden stake to make it get a polychrome sticker
i am being tongue in cheek here yeah
The achievement would be c#
I always forget about that extra tidbit
actually now that I think about it I don't know anybody that has a high score in their name, not even vics meant to be a bragging thing, it's complaining about not reaching naneinf
that's just how I associate her
please god no
yeh honestly the only high score thingies is naneinf bragging rights
(Done with a tutorial)
dont see a e+27 running around here ever
seedless 2e308 is more impressive than seedless naneinf

pedantics machine here
1.8e308
anything else flows over
I mean yes because is impossible to be above naneinf (1.8E308)
for some reason I thought it was 2.8
I hope I didn't mess up on any thing I said before now that I realize this

let me check logs
endless mode should be a 5 cent microtransaction
you were outside of the realm of ever messing up anyways
guys omg
fire
I probably used that term like three times LMFAO
versus hook too thats nice
Pog
6 months ago you said something different like 2.78 or some shit
copy tag + 25 from boss win
investment tag on Green Deck is probably the worst an investment tag can get
First player to be rich with green deck
maybe it's worse on yellow
im still new so this feels heavenly
definitely still worth though, nice stuff
that would make for a good free balatro mobile port
New
Green deck
oh no
infinite riches
brother continue this run and win it but
well not new new i have like 10 hours now
please for the love of your experience and ability to realize how to easily win the game
hop on anywhere else
I mean it's the fourth one
interest is the very foundation of the difficulty and the game becomes piss easy with it constantly running
this is going to be my 4th deck win
ah okay I see yeah win this
that’s actually the deck i stayed on for the entire first month learning this game
when I first started my favorite deck was Green Deck and it did destroy my interest habits as well as not realizing that I should still keep $20 for hermit value until much later
yeah i know not to be a broke boy lol
it was hard changing decks for sure
just try to avoid green deck while learning
I'm not sure it really hindered my learning curve though because I was just learning about other things faster
they say flushes is a noobtrap but at least flushes win games
i usually avoid vagabond unless im already broke lol
not caring about interest is the biggest monkey wrench of growth you can throw into your learning curve
oh shit ive been relying really hard on flushes and straights lol
starting to think it's worse on black
I've been thinking about how much money I would need to have before not being worth to throw away for vagabond, I think it's like $50 or $60
You nearly ALWAYS take vagabond
(completely subjective)
there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but your runs will be somewhat volatile
Unless you've got seed money with 50 bucks
Small blind investment tag probably not a great choice I would think
good to know lol
Stressed out the entire game..
Honestly even then i personally would still take vaga if i don't have seed
big blind too depending on shop 1
and boss blind
imma get back to this run, thanks chat
vagabond is hard to learn until you learn all the basics of the game first, so don’t grab it and die trying to make it work, make sure you understand the game well first
well yeah, if you don't get scoring then you can't reliably beat the boss blind
i hope i dont throw lol
vagabond ironically is late-stage learning in this game
if you don't get scoring you can't even reliably beat big blind which is why the small blind Skip is bad
there are other situations too
bull being an obvious one
also just "i have 5 good jokers that work well together already and dont want to sell any of them" particularly later in the game
Black is so bad you might as well try and highroll
That's not valid for streaking
imo some spectrals should be reworked/buffed
Ok if you're streaking black deck thats your own issue ngl
alot of them are just bad after early antes
I mean streaking is the end goal of consistency
you're forced to play the small blind out
getting better at the game is consistency
and then big blind comes with another shop
what
Can you really get consistant with black deck? that seems obsurd to me
black deck has good late game
I had a 5 win streak at one point
andolth's got a 5 str
well I wouldn't go that far
5 streak is really not alot
and brooke has like twice as much as I do
for black it is
Yeah exactly
Do I have to drop ticket here or do we just ignore it
getting to 3 is already a daunting task
How impressive a streak is kind of depends on the deck(s) that it's on
rotating streaks are more impressive than easy single deck streaks etc
????
If 3 is impressive that implies to me that black deck is not very skill based compared to the rest of the decks
as for wr I can't tell on mobile but I would guess 30-35% on black
?
Yeah that is true, but streaking just sounds like a pain when you have decks that bad
that's true to some extent, I've done rotating streaks too
