wee doesn't have time to wait for f5

[viral raft]

true, specially when you only want to reach ante 8, i still don't like it by the low scaling, +5 chips compared to 4oak is almost nothng if youj already have 4oak already level up

the only reason to 5oak is probably retrigger builds

[manic talon]

supernova is there for the early gamee

[terse vale]

ya but what made u go bloodstone

[viral raft]

i still rather F5 but yeah 5oak kinda works for that

i still thinking it needs a buff

[white zodiac]

would you pair or flush on nova for checkered assuming ante 2 threats like wall or flint

[manic talon]

if you check for misprint its practically not possible to not draw a flush every hand

[terse vale]

prolly flushmax

[pale wolf]

i want more rank-scaling jokers like wee

[viral raft]

always bet in pair

[honest dawn]

Supernova is especially good with pair

[terse vale]

actually

[manic talon]

even if you dont check its still really unlikely to not draw one in checkered

[viral raft]

a scaling to 7s it would be amazing

[terse vale]

for the flint I would probably still pair

maybe even for wall if I have a chhips joker

[viral raft]

pls make something useful for 7s

[pale wolf]

do you do that a lot

[viral raft]

they're probably the worts rank in the game

[foggy wadi]

after so long, i finally got my first unseeded naneinf!

[viral raft]

with 4

[floral mural]

maybe one with the king rank since that one has literally nothing (i will commit baron slander always). jokes asides a 7 or a 5 joker would be neat

[viral raft]

but even 4s have hack

[white zodiac]

or ig water

[pale wolf]

advanced misprint scumming, no wonder you have a 120 checkered streak /s

[manic talon]

only when i'm on a shit run

[viral raft]

walkie talkie, Steven, hacks

[cedar shell]

i restarted a couple times and nothing happened

[viral raft]

7s is literally just todd

[floral mural]

the issue with scaling rank based jokers is you need a theme to fit that rank and for it to scale

[viral raft]

sad because 7 is the lucky number

[white zodiac]

im assuming its worth the slightly lower scaling

[pale wolf]

middling rank for straights on a base deck tho

[white zodiac]

early

[jagged cliff]

Unfortunate

[cedar shell]

so should i tke the brainstorm

[pale wolf]

it used to have seeing double as a 7s joker but that changed during development

[manic talon]

for flint and wall if you only got supernova the best bet is to try for flush cuz it has more base chips and mult (for wall), and it has more cards for chips (for flint)

[viral raft]

yeah, that's why seing double is about playing four 7 of club

[white zodiac]

ok flush by default essentially

[manic talon]

getting only X2 if you have a 7s of clubs and another 7s is not a good joker, who knew

[viral raft]

maybe a joker about "luck" based around 7 (the lucky number)

[pale wolf]

bruh wiki cloudflare is down

I am forced to use fandom

[white zodiac]

[viral raft]

that's so ahh lmao

[white zodiac]

anything but that

[floral mural]

every 7 played increases probability chance by 1 for the current round :3

or something like that

[pale wolf]

never mind fandom doesn't even have the information

[manic talon]

honestly i should pivot out of flushes more often if i saw square or stuntman but i hate those joker so much, only runner, pants, and sometimes STM can sway me

[floral mural]

would be fun having a reason to use lucky cards more

[viral raft]

too broken for lucky cards lol

[viral raft]

theres alot of reason to play lucky cards

[floral mural]

maybe cap it to 3 7 triggers then?

[manic talon]

cloudflare shat itself so more than half of internet infrastructure is down

[white zodiac]

sometimes stm
@pale wolf

[floral mural]

the only luck thing there is lucky cards tho

[vapid nest]

What is stm?

[viral raft]

Wheel

[pale wolf]

would you preemptively build nines or Queens if you had a cryptid and no direction

[white zodiac]

oh boy

[manic talon]

STM is pretty good in checkered, you get around the problem of high card being ass by first playing flush with 1 or 2 queens in hand

[floral mural]

well luck thing youd actually use for the effect. maybe making 7s act like lucky cards could work?

itd be better than baron but kinda bad

[viral raft]

i know

[white zodiac]

this is useful information for my propaganda

[sly bolt]

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

:<

[pure oasis]

Tarot Merchant, fuuuk

[white zodiac]

never heard of her

[floral mural]

its bugged you have to use unlock all

[viral raft]

a joker that when you play three 7s you get 6$

[floral mural]

what actually happened to cloud flare

[white zodiac]

im a linux user

[sly bolt]

I feel like sleeping

[wintry ice]

it's down

[sly bolt]

slept

[white zodiac]

dieded

[cedar shell]

im actually developing a hatred toward brainstorm

just give me blueprints 😭

[jagged cliff]

Still no good vouchers?

[pure oasis]

nope

[sly bolt]

:<

[pale wolf]

discard half the internet

[sly bolt]

the scribbly

sup zeb

[pale wolf]

scriblly what ho

[sly bolt]

this is so real

[pure oasis]

starting to feel like hanging chad

[terse vale]

whats that mean

[white zodiac]

he's drunk

[manic talon]

i wouldnt cryptid a random ass card with no enhancement i would rather cyrptid a enhanced 7, i or would pick the other spectral choice, if i dont have a choice, i would pick like, Q,J,9,6,2

[pale wolf]

Chad has been very cruel and must be hanged

[terse vale]

ooojh

[pale wolf]

so you would just skip instead of using cryptid on a base deck

Not the answer anticipated

[pure oasis]

hmm, boss is the Hook. Can i even score against it now

[white zodiac]

it makes sense tbf

[manic talon]

if its on a base deck i would skip honestly

[pure oasis]

ante 19

[white zodiac]

I think the person that sent the screenshot was going through spectral withdrawals

[pale wolf]

I encouraged them to take the spectral pack for fun

🙂

[pure oasis]

8 cards hand size -1 played -2 discarded. That leaves 5 Kings in hand for the Multi

i guess i have to reroll it and hope it is not the Plant

[sly bolt]

I'm gonna go sleep

bye chat

[pale wolf]

restlessly

[white zodiac]

i

bye

[pure oasis]

nighty night

[pale wolf]

its so coooold

green

[white zodiac]

black

or painted

[terse vale]

paintedd yayyy

[pale wolf]

Coward

[manic talon]

cryptid-ing a naked card feels so bad cuz it adds 2 bad cards, and jumping from 4 to 6 cards of the same rank isnt good enough to help for a 4oak pivot and its not guaranteed you get the correct joker for the rank, if its enhanced it gives more value for like vamp or DL or even the enhanced card itself tho

[pale wolf]

black
painted
its the same picture

[pale wolf]

yea fair

[honest dawn]

Who do you think is the best influencer in Balatro when it comes to playing?

[pale wolf]

hi syn!!

[manic talon]

Black deck is +10, painted is +16

[pale wolf]

Doc? he is not only the best content creator skillwise but also just the best player outright

[tender quarry]

On most decks I agree with this, wondering if Blue/Red/Abandoned could be different though due to having more room to enable 3oak ideas

At minimum I don't think it's a bad play there

[manic talon]

oh abandoned is interesting

[white zodiac]

rare syn event

[pale wolf]

syn is one of the best

[white zodiac]

I've done naked ace cryptids one time

[manic talon]

on abandoned 2 more of a naked card gives more value than normal

[white zodiac]

on abandoned

yeah

[pale wolf]

yeah the context was checkered

[tender quarry]

On checkered it's never the play unless you're already in those lines for whatever reason

[manic talon]

if you ask me on anything the context is always checkered

[white zodiac]

for me it's black

for zeebruh it's

[manic talon]

honestly im kinda down to pop grim or familiar on checkered recently

dunno about incant tho

[pale wolf]

for better or for worse I only ask for vayn input on checkered

[tender quarry]

I think that's fine

Just fishing for gold has value

[pale wolf]

nothing because I'm not good and I've been trying to tell people this

[tender quarry]

Even glass on checkered I suppose

[jagged valve]

Tips for this run? Currently relying on flush five on lucky 2s

Spades

[white zodiac]

and then you got banned l ± rational value

[manic talon]

yea exactly, and at worst the wild on a non checkered suit also lowers the "total misses"

[jagged valve]

Do I take the petroglyph

[white zodiac]

up 2 u

[pale wolf]

im ngl
I don't know any of the other blue names

[jagged valve]

I want more time to make better 2s

Poly or foil

[tender quarry]

What's your goal

[pale wolf]

and they never be talking in here so im unique now

[jagged valve]

High score

Lol

[tender quarry]

Then yes

[jagged valve]

Alright

I passed by a neg vampire 😭

[white zodiac]

you're about to singlehandedly devalue the joker role just for chatting

[jagged valve]

No midas mask tho so that was out of the table

[white zodiac]

I uh

ok

[manic talon]

how did you even get the joker tag anyway

[honest dawn]

Midas is good even without a Midas mask

Or you had a cat from the suette

Luck*

[jagged valve]

What

[pale wolf]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[white zodiac]

he said the gamer word (warned mods from an inappropriate user) then got sent home by mistake

[jagged valve]

I can not memorize the name of these 2 families of jokers

[cedar shell]

so uh

i have 4 mimes and 3 barons

is that ok

[manic talon]

oh lmao

[pale wolf]

and then i lost the booster role when i was back

[pale wolf]

families?

[white zodiac]

just say page 1 jokers

[pale wolf]

i call all the hand chip/mult jokers on the first page firstpagers

[white zodiac]

yeah

[pale wolf]

usually excluding the sin jokers and jimbo in that definition

[cedar shell]

jimbo s tier joker

[manic talon]

They should bring back the 4oak 1st page jokers, i miss them

[pale wolf]

is joker better than baron?

[hasty harness]

welp

[cedar shell]

????

yes absolutely

[hasty harness]

interesting way to start a gold stake run

its not perishable!

surprising

[pale wolf]

didnt 2pair steal them

[manic talon]

yea even the name is the same

[pale wolf]

they transitioned

[manic talon]

REAL

[white zodiac]

is this a real question

[pale wolf]

stop dead naming handing mad joker

[pale wolf]

it is kinda

[white zodiac]

mad joker when he/they

[left juniper]

Situational. You'd be silly to take Baron over Joker in early antes

[white zodiac]

mmm depends on if purchased from buffoon or shop

4 dolla or 4 mult

[pure oasis]

Phuuh, reroilled boss to the Water

[white zodiac]

and round

[manic talon]

i mean, i feel like jimbo has more apllications/ its application happens more often than baron, so i guess?

[pale wolf]

bc if so it would mean the only rarity joker(jimbo) is the worst of is legendary

[white zodiac]

worse than legendary number 6

that goes hard

[honest dawn]

Baron needs the entire run focused on him, that's why it's so difficult for him to work well at gold stake, you know? (I don't speak English very well, just in case 🥹)

[white zodiac]

I still can't believe tribe saved my streak run a few days ago

[pale wolf]

tribeoulet

[white zodiac]

whuh

[manic talon]

i dont think i had baron bailed me out in a run yet, but i had idol bailing me out multiple times in a photochad run

[left juniper]

If it's late game Joker will offer more immediate value than a Canio or Yorick

[potent tree]

me when balatro wiki is down

[manic talon]

its like glass but omega ass

[restive plover]

balatro gaming

[pale wolf]

i think canios immediate value EV is higher

but it can miss

[pale wolf]

travelling unbreakable glass

if idol picked 2 different cards would it be fun

[left juniper]

Canios immediate value is 0. According to my maths 4 is greater than 0

[hasty harness]

just had hallucination + brainstorm and no hits from 3 packs in a row

💔

[manic talon]

honestly would be pretty good in checkered

[white zodiac]

one might say trib technically has better performance on black/plasma/painted

[jagged valve]

Is blueprint better on chad or hologram for scoring? Holo at 6x

[pale wolf]

on black with less digging power?

[left juniper]

Hologram

[restive plover]

holy planets

[pale wolf]

are any of them the one you want

cuz that's one of the most beautiful planet blocking I've ever seen

[jagged valve]

I'll use it on DNA for cloning, Chad for money engine on red seal lucky & for scoring on Holo then

[white zodiac]

in proportion to all the other jokers that get mildly shafted prob

[restive plover]

yeah mercury and high carg

d

[jagged valve]

I need more deck fixing 😭

[pale wolf]

rip

i mean, not rip but just
less fun to me

[white zodiac]

ive rarely had obelisk work for me on black which is blasphemy

[honest dawn]

I remember playing a game with burglar+ green joker+obelisk

[pale wolf]

improving your pack odds with shop and consumable slots is one of the most engaging mechanics in the game for me

[pale wolf]

like 3 times right

[white zodiac]

I think so

[pale wolf]

wait are your 8stack runs intentionally hard or just forced by black

[humble seal]

ive recently started playing balatro and now completing red deck with blacks take
im at ante 5, do you guys think i can beat this stake?

[white zodiac]

4 if you count the inevitable 8 hand obelisk doom

[cedar shell]

you need to find the burger in ante 25 right

[restive plover]

feeing more Pairs to the Pair God (obelisk)

[honest dawn]

He had taken out the thief to buy the soul

[white zodiac]

they were all forced lmao

[royal blade]

Does anyone ever tested Midas Mask + Vampire (and optionial + pareidolia and + splash + sock and buskin) => In my theory you play any 5 cards and the multiplier goes up by 1 per played hand. And if you get the cards to be holographic or something, they would even add more mult before vampire hits big time. What do you think?

[pale wolf]

lmfao ok i thought you were doing it on purpose

[white zodiac]

well maybe not the second run on abandoned

I wanted to do 7 on that one but I would've died

[unreal island]

Greatest ankh oat

[honest dawn]

And I got a negative trivoulet when I was playing a high card 🥹

[manic talon]

sock doesnt change midas nor vampire, it goes up by 0.5X only

[white zodiac]

first abandoned run I had to because I was against the wall very early

[pale wolf]

sure? yea synergies exist between parei splash midas and vamp
One caveat is that when you have vampire and Midas, you want Midas to be to the right of vampire for long-term gold card value

[naive jolt]

I'm thunking egg but i want the voucher too

[hasty harness]

both reroll vouchers with this setup lol

[white zodiac]

if you have bus, marble, and vamp, placing bus before vamp on stone faces will scale bus still whereas placing after vamp to intentionally not overscore will instead crash bus

[cedar shell]

im shadowbanned 😞

[pale wolf]

absolutely beautiful

[pale wolf]

how so

[honest dawn]

Who is the most underrated Joker in your opinion?

[white zodiac]

huh

uhhh

[pale wolf]

uuuh by who

[honest dawn]

For me it's Obelisk

[vale wharf]

Which one are y'all choosing irl?
$25
OR
-10 years, -1 hand

[cedar shell]

25 dollars

[pale wolf]

by newcomers, obelisk/redcard/rtb/campfire
by skilled players is more controversial to say

[vale wharf]

They're Singaporean dollars

[pale wolf]

do I go back 10 years in time, or do I just age down 10 years

and do I retain memory

[vale wharf]

Age down

[white zodiac]

well obby licks is unanimously known to scale like silly so def not for experienced players

[pale wolf]

then I'll definitely take the $25

[vale wharf]

And retain memory

[obsidian patrol]

8 ball

[restive plover]

sweats

[vale wharf]

Whaaaat, going back in time 10 years is better than ageing down 10 years?

[pale wolf]

1000%

[white zodiac]

recency bias for me, prob pariedolia

[pale wolf]

You then know the future

You can make mad money

Like you would know covid is going to happen

[vale wharf]

But you get 10 YEARS of LIFE

[honest dawn]

But all the people who aren't so advanced say that Obelisk is outright garbage

[cedar shell]

should i take petro

[white zodiac]

I can meet ryan higa on his little tour in hawaii

[pale wolf]

I get 10 more years added on to the last part of my life I'm not reliving 10 good years if I'm going back to being a teenager

[white zodiac]

it's just the new player outcome of favoring simpler, less complex mechanics

[pale wolf]

I think hiker is the most consistently underrated Joker by skilled players

[restive plover]

obelisk 🗣️ 🔥 😻

[white zodiac]

I like hiker, he's midas for chips with a different long term investment

[pale wolf]

hiker runs on abandoned ⭐

[jagged cliff]

Obelisk 💔🤢💀

[royal blade]

That wasn't my question

[white zodiac]

I know ❤️

[cedar shell]

the thing i love about obelisk is that i never win in one on abandoned and come up a dollar short

i always see it shop 1

[white zodiac]

the thing I love about obby licks on abandoned are the couple of 8 hand obby licks runs that I've conjured on that deck

[pale wolf]

oh, when I first read this I didn't properly read the second part, sock and buskin will not retrigger Midas or vamp stuff, it doesn't interact

[cedar shell]

can i take burger in ante 21

[pale wolf]

The rest though yeah they work together

[white zodiac]

wait how did you get shadowbanned

[honest dawn]

Lately I've been climbing Obelisk on a 6-level belay for safety, but before I used to climb on a 5-level belay. It reset once, and now I try to belay just in case, although I know the best way is...

[jagged cliff]

Don't think so

[honest dawn]

In the ante 5

[pale wolf]

I don't know, they didn't reply to me when I asked so I must be shadowbanned

[white zodiac]

😢

[shell dagger]

You can but you won’t naneinf without a 5th copy joker instead of that second baron

[cedar shell]

baron is bugged, cant sell it Sadge

[pale wolf]

wut

[shell dagger]

How?

[white zodiac]

huh

[pale wolf]

it would be the first I've heard of an unsellable Joker because of disabled mods but I wouldn't be surprised

[jagged cliff]

Hold R, usually works (dont do that)

[vale wharf]

Which one are y'all choosing irl?
Doubles money (max of $40m)
OR
One of each tarot card (they work on any object; for example, if you use death on an apple and an orange, you'll have two oranges)

[white zodiac]

wtf

[shell dagger]

bruh that’s weird

[pale wolf]

what happens when you sell the negative one

[cedar shell]

mf im broke, tarots are borken

[cedar shell]

oooh

[pale wolf]

I would assume the same thing

[vale wharf]

How would you use them?

[cedar shell]

yeah its the same

[manic talon]

is this some sort of steamodded fuckery

[cedar shell]

both barons are negative

[cedar shell]

has to be, but all i have is uhh handy and saturn

[pale wolf]

something in your disabled mods isn't entirely disabled, or maybe it's a steam modded issue, but I assume that you duplicated a negative Baron, but the game internally didn't remove the negative

[white zodiac]

rip, that's probably the culprit

[kind wraith]

LocalThunk should've released Balatro 2 for this year's GOTY smh

[cedar shell]

i did dupe the baron

fuck

it is cooked

[white zodiac]

[manic talon]

i mean if you have steamodded, steamodded itself changes the code on balatro somewhat

[pale wolf]

on one hand, it is bugged, on the other hand, you've had an extra Joker slot that you shouldn't have this whole time so it might have helped you

[royal blade]

Ah, thanks, but Midas and Vamp should + splash and + pereidola should ramp up Vamp by x0,5 per 5 cards played, right?

[manic talon]

what happens if you sell the other jokers?

[cedar shell]

theyre fine

the barons are the onyl one with this issue

[jagged cliff]

I mean, does she really need another copy effect? You need 2 bps, 2brainstorms and that's it after ante 24

[white zodiac]

so what's showman doing rn

[hasty harness]

i love ghost deck

[pale wolf]

indeed, and you probably don't need Splash because you can just play five card hands
also take note of my reply earlier that says you should have Midas second even though you lose one scale per card for vampire, because getting gold money is much more valuable

[cedar shell]

he died a while ago

[white zodiac]

rip in peace

[cedar shell]

so if i have two brainstorms one blueprint and one duped baron... is that the same thing

dude wait

[jagged cliff]

You can still naneinf with what you got, you just need DNA until the ante 24 boss

[cedar shell]

im gonna get a fraudelent high score fml

[jagged cliff]

Then switch it with burglar

[cedar shell]

im so upset ive never got it before

[jagged cliff]

Think so

[tired kestrel]

I'm not figuring this one out this is way too hard for me

[white zodiac]

you can still naneinf though from what I'm seeing... joker slots are settled, idk about the other vouchers

[craggy lantern]

lol

[cedar shell]

"gold stake black deck" 💔

[white zodiac]

am I missing something

[craggy lantern]

try it

[white zodiac]

maybe

[cedar shell]

im not a masochist

[craggy lantern]

this seed is evil

[cedar shell]

im not diong black deck

[white zodiac]

I am :P

[tired kestrel]

This seed is real rough, you get zero jokers, zero tarots, no seals and mid planets

Everything is rental too

like hoooly

[white zodiac]

im behind on stickers though so I'm not doing it rn

[craggy lantern]

its really evil

[heavy heron]

shoot the moon lovers rejoice (it did nothing here)

god

ante 1

i took an eternal to do list

then next buffoon pack i open

vagabond

yeah good luck balancing both of those

my to do list was just sitting there for like 4 antes until i bailed on vagabond

[heavy heron]

and i ankh’d hoping it’d hit vagabond

(it hit to do list..)

[shell dagger]

it got you to ante 8 ♥️

baron could never

[heavy heron]

but it actually gave me a lot of money ironically so

like once i finished vagabond

[heavy heron]

you right you right

[heavy heron]

usually never, no

LOOLLL

[jagged cliff]

Baron slander??

[heavy heron]

the fact that to-do list doesn’t sync up wa so annoying though

[teal spruce]

This might be the most disgusting run i ever have won, i feel awful, my heart is empty after winning

[heavy heron]

LIKE

[naive jolt]

What do we say about a dagger run ?

[white zodiac]

my baron sticker is gonna be on abandoned when I inevitably finish it off

[heavy heron]

why doesn’t to-do list sync up

but everything else does

[heavy heron]

that’s a stencil combo right there

[heavy heron]

i agree

i love daggers

until i accidentally leave it to the left of my blueprint

[shell dagger]

i think this had baron

[heavy heron]

i actually have a few ante 8 baron runs

[white zodiac]

I think he says

I'm still waiting for one on black deck

got a plan in mind

[shell dagger]

digging power…

[white zodiac]

💔

[shell dagger]

idk I’ve seen black deck gold stake naneinf no perkeo

just do that

[white zodiac]

yeah that was my plan

[hasty harness]

how is that even possible

[shell dagger]

6 blueprints serpent is just enough iirc

or 7

[hasty harness]

6 7

6 7

[naive jolt]

What do we say ? Double dagger or Immolate ?

[hasty harness]

6 7

6 7

[shell dagger]

immolate

[naive jolt]

Double dagger is cool tho

[hasty harness]

wait but like how tho cuz theres no balance effect

wouldnt it fall way short

[shell dagger]

no

[heavy heron]

I MEAN

[hasty harness]

thats so much econ to fuel the daggers lol

[white zodiac]

if that doesn't work I'll just do like baron fist or some fucked up stm makeshift plan

[hasty harness]

immolate

[shell dagger]

if you can score e616 on plasma you can score e308 on other decks

[naive jolt]

OK double dagger

[hasty harness]

no

[heavy heron]

ITS ALWAYS IMMOLATE and not even in a “boring but correct” choice because

dagger

[hasty harness]

double dagger so bad 😭

[heavy heron]

both daggers

need to kill

2 jokers

[hasty harness]

yeah

[heavy heron]

which doesn’t work well

[hasty harness]

exactly

[heavy heron]

like even if you’re having fun

listen it’s a fun play

[hasty harness]

takes up +2 joker slots

[heavy heron]

i respect it

[jagged cliff]

But what about triple dagger

[shell dagger]

double dagger is also only a x2 at best

[hasty harness]

just to fuel daggers

[heavy heron]

but 2 daggers just don’t work ever like ever

[shell dagger]

that’s not even good

[heavy heron]

the amount of money needed to feed 2 daggers is

sad

[white zodiac]

erm what the speculative stencil

[heavy heron]

and free slots

[white zodiac]

immuhlate

[buoyant ridge]

loosing again because the game doenst give me chips jokers or full houses

[shell dagger]

or maybe because you took the rental bloodstone willingly

[white zodiac]

I have several questions

[heavy heron]

bloodstone on plasma

[latent egret]

blut thought he could play flushes

[heavy heron]

early game

[hasty harness]

real question is why r we taking rental bloodstone on plasma

[buoyant ridge]

yeah i was hoping for something useful

[hasty harness]

💔

[naive jolt]

Double dagger + riff

[buoyant ridge]

exponential scaling

[heavy heron]

NAHHHH YOU TOOK THE DAGGER LOOLLLL

OKAY GOOD LUCK

[restive plover]

run died </3

[heavy heron]

here’s the thing

[shell dagger]

gonna take a lot of resetting to get that in ante 8 runs

[heavy heron]

here’s the thing

[restive plover]

just a little too little score

[heavy heron]

you’ll have a lot of flat mult

and only 2 slots

[restive plover]

RIP x8 obby lick

[heavy heron]

for anything else

[white zodiac]

the thing

[buoyant ridge]

how can i get better at the game ?

[heavy heron]

OK

[white zodiac]

well

pretend bloodstone doesn't exist

that's a good start

[lunar zealot]

First of all

never take early rentals

[heavy heron]

i lost a 5 win streak because bloodstone hit once in 10 hits

[hasty harness]

not always true tho

[lunar zealot]

Literally never there are 2 scenarios where you take an early rental

rebate and midas

[hasty harness]

what about burnt or riftraff etc?

[restive plover]

rebate 🗣️

[lunar zealot]

You do not take rental pants you do not take rental blueprint

[hasty harness]

theres quite a few id take as rental

[heavy heron]

(or if you die without doing so)

[buoyant ridge]

but how should i then get exponential scaling later with mult ?

[manic talon]

Rental golden joker is money positive (sometimes)

[heavy heron]

i’ve had runs where i had to take a rental sly early

and still won

[lunar zealot]

With money

which you can't get if you have no money

[hasty harness]

reroll into options

with money

[shell dagger]

you won’t unless you get perkeo observatory

[molten thicket]

not taking rental pants and bp is kinda crazy

[lunar zealot]

Early

[heavy heron]

no rental ancient

[shell dagger]

that’s the only exponential scaling in the game (wrt t)

[white zodiac]

don't take buffoon packs early on plasma for starters

[hasty harness]

rental ancient 💔

[molten thicket]

if i get rental bp early i dont even care if its "unoptimal" im taking it

[hasty harness]

then ur run is probably dead

[lunar zealot]

lol

[hasty harness]

unless u get rebate next shop

[white zodiac]

well the question was how to get better at the game

[heavy heron]

oh no

rental blueprint uh

no, never

not early

[shell dagger]

you can take it if you get an investment tag a1

[white zodiac]

not late either (I need stickers)

[heavy heron]

it does nothing and forbids you from getting your money up to $25 for an entire extra ante (and by then you die) unless you find exactly a money joker

[molten thicket]

oh i didnt notice that

mb

[lunar zealot]

Rentals generally do nothing but hurt your run on early antes

[median crystal]

how do i disable a card/joker

[heavy heron]

true

[white zodiac]

sell it

[median crystal]

so i cant get it at all

[lunar zealot]

rental rebate and rental midas are the only jokers i would consider

[white zodiac]

oh

[lunar zealot]

already have it

[white zodiac]

just keep it around

[lunar zealot]

then you won't find it in shop

[white zodiac]

in the slots

yeah

[lunar zealot]

If you have lovers in your consumables you won't find another

[hasty harness]

blocking unless u have showman

[lunar zealot]

Unless you buy showman

[heavy heron]

just uncommon block w showman (joke)

[median crystal]

no i mean like

before i start the run

[manic talon]

Other than the enhancements related jokers or cavendish, once you unlock a joker its stays in the pool

[median crystal]

im talking mods

[heavy heron]

there really isn’t a way

[hasty harness]

i was here for this quote

[heavy heron]

oh mods?

no idea

[shell dagger]

#⚙・modding-general

[lunar zealot]

cryptid?

[pale wolf]

How do I get better at the game while also purely prioritizing fun

[hasty harness]

theres a mod think cryptid

[white zodiac]

black deck

[hasty harness]

where theres consumbables

[lunar zealot]

Yellow deck

[manic talon]

Play checkered 🙂

[hasty harness]

where you can remove certain stuff from shop

[heavy heron]

this is honestly a good answer

[hasty harness]

ghost deck

[heavy heron]

actually black deck isn’t fun nvm

[hasty harness]

(not actually)

[heavy heron]

i mean it is

[hasty harness]

but its fun

[heavy heron]

if you pull it off

[manic talon]

Im sensing a pattern here

[lunar zealot]

Does anyone have any more images of brainstorm being fucked over

[molten thicket]

black deck is suffering until it pays off

[hasty harness]

its fun when u high roll and get a riftraff shop 1

[heavy heron]

black deck is take investment tag round 1, survive big blind round 2, find nothing in shop, then die to manacle or hook round 3

[molten thicket]

how did the second image happen

[white zodiac]

it can be if you have over a thousand hours put into this raunchy card simulator game

[pale wolf]

okay thanks guys I found out that the best way to play balatro while having fun and learning is to play balatro

[heavy heron]

a thousand whopping hours!!!

i wish a disgusting mobile player like me had a time count

[white zodiac]

maybe

[hasty harness]

wait really

[shell dagger]

I don’t wanna know how much time I’ve spent playing tbh

[white zodiac]

well

[pale wolf]

I'm still under 300 hours I think

[heavy heron]

or.. yea or that

[molten thicket]

black deck

[heavy heron]

THATS SO FUNNY

[white zodiac]

on streak runs you don't take investment tag r1

[heavy heron]

YOU TOOK THE INVESTMENT TAG

[white zodiac]

or r2 sometimes

[heavy heron]

YOU REALLY FOLLOWED OT BY THE BOOK

[white zodiac]

yeah

[hasty harness]

we shall fulfill the prophecy

[floral mural]

black deck ante 1 small blind investement tag is kinda terrifying to take ngl

[heavy heron]

pov you survive ante 1, making it to ante 2 still find nothing in shop and die immediately

[white zodiac]

it's terrifying when I'm like 3 wins in so I just don't take them

[heavy heron]

what’s your win streak on black deck

[white zodiac]

5

[heavy heron]

oh wow

[molten thicket]

you got a winstreak in black deck??

[heavy heron]

that’s pretty good

[manic talon]

I died many times taking investment on black deck

[lunar zealot]

Brainstorm is compatible with luchador

[manic talon]

Its a risk

[white zodiac]

original goal was 10 because brooke has that but I'm just doing c++ for now and doing an abandoned streak personal record later

[molten thicket]

it IS?

oh.

[heavy heron]

and it’s very funny

[manic talon]

So is diet cola

[shell dagger]

investment in plasma js a tough take too… that 900 point requirement is tuff

[floral mural]

big blind investement if i get a scoring joker is something i do take on black deck

[white zodiac]

and cola

[shell dagger]

I thought she made that up and that it was actually 7

[molten thicket]

is it just visual and it doesnt actually deactivate the boss again

[white zodiac]

I made up the number 10 lmao

[shell dagger]

Ture

[white zodiac]

it could be 7 still

[heavy heron]

no idea who brooke is but that’s cool

[white zodiac]

treu

she's the gal that doxxed my full government name

[shell dagger]

i wonder what the highest plasma streak is

[white zodiac]

oo

[pale wolf]

That's not true I've heard of it before you

[restive plover]

green goblin mask

[white zodiac]

oh

[molten thicket]

also what happens if you sell luchador in boss blind when having chicot

[heavy heron]

the throwback LOOLLLL

[austere escarp]

the final 8

[heavy heron]

i don’t think it does anything

[white zodiac]

obby licks in the final 8 💔

[coarse condor]

i want to go naneinf but. I don’t think I can

pain. misery even.

[white zodiac]

I can understand the rest

[heavy heron]

drop the trading card

[pale wolf]

this is surprisingly close to mine

[shell dagger]

you’re probably gonna need perkeo to naneinf ghost deck

[coarse condor]

eternal :(

[austere escarp]

Its a good joker I just havent gotten it when its useful on gold stake yet

[white zodiac]

obelisk is a certified zerb moment

[molten thicket]

thats sad, i thought it would be like having 2 chicots

[heavy heron]

SHOOT

i don’t think it’s happening

[white zodiac]

yeah zeebra had a similar story

[coarse condor]

I picked it up ante 2 like a fool

[heavy heron]

has anybody done the bean bug with crimson heart

[shell dagger]

yeah

[white zodiac]

on accident yeah

[manic talon]

yeah

[molten thicket]

i accidentally did it once

[heavy heron]

that’s impressive

[austere escarp]

ante 2 obe isnt even bad if you can keep ur scaling just low enough to get like 12 two pairs or some shit

[heavy heron]

crazy

what’s obe

obelisk?

[austere escarp]

ye

[manic talon]

i just did the bug tho, i cba to do the actual naneinf run

[jagged cliff]

Yes, it hit twice, lost next ante to the plant

[heavy heron]

of course

[molten thicket]

i think i didnt even notice it when i continued

[heavy heron]

i don’t think it’s a bad idea to hold onto an obelisk if you stay alive for a while playing a hand type

[white zodiac]

trying to sticker bean in a stm build when I was against crimson red

it depends on how you obtained it

[austere escarp]

balatro the only game I can not play for like 2 months and still be goated at

[heavy heron]

that’s pretty funny your hand size went up to 13 you had no isea

[jagged cliff]

That's the Balatro luck I keep hearing about

[lunar zealot]

I had an ante 1 rental obelisk

[buoyant ridge]

and loosing again because ma mult is too low

[lunar zealot]

i still won because obelisk is insane

[buoyant ridge]

why cant hanging chad retrigger a card 10 times, this would be a fair and balanced game

[heavy heron]

woah woahhh breaking your own rule there

[jagged cliff]

Unfortunate

[white zodiac]

twinning

[shell dagger]

i played hades the other day after a 6 month hiatus and got a sub 6 within an hour 💪

[lunar zealot]

It's cause i'm fuckin smart as balls

[austere escarp]

Hades is pretty good

[lunar zealot]

my pb is still 7:34 and i don't know how to timesave...

[shell dagger]

play beowulf idk

[lunar zealot]

it was a tartarus mirage shot and 2 sack too iirc

[shell dagger]

oh

[buoyant ridge]

game needs more balancing

[shell dagger]

true, remove seance

[molten thicket]

how do you even get good at hades i took like 7 hrs to beat megara

[white zodiac]

nerf idol

[restive plover]

i've been totally absorbed by the roguelite demon for months i finally broke through and started replaying fire emblem sacred stones today

[austere escarp]

Slay the spire is the only other roguelike I have grinded a bunch

[shell dagger]

1500 hours

[jagged cliff]

I keep saying that too, Blueprint needs to copy all jokers to the right

[buoyant ridge]

legendary blueprint

[white zodiac]

I haven't touched sts in forever

[austere escarp]

me either

and unlike balatro I cant hop back on it and be good

[white zodiac]

it's hard going back to a-

yeah

on mobile I have to do multiple sessions for 1 run

[austere escarp]

thats so real

[lavish gazelle]

Damn sts got hands

[austere escarp]

on mobile I prefer peglin

[white zodiac]

can't remember what I did on act 1 that I played two days ago

[austere escarp]

Peglin is lowkey fire

[restive plover]

i think im better at sts than balatro

[austere escarp]

sts is much harder imo

[lavish gazelle]

Peglin is goated

[white zodiac]

same

[restive plover]

math and mtg brain goes crazy for it

[molten thicket]

i hate this game so much

[violet sparrow]

finished anaglyph deck

now onto plasma

[lunar zealot]

Hey free 10 bucks

[white zodiac]

sts has a higher skill ceiling from what I've seen

[blissful fog]

Doing challenges for now.. 10th challenge completed

[austere escarp]

idr who but I think of him as the roffle of sts made the game look way too easy but I honestly struggled getting to ascension 10

[lavish gazelle]

I have to agree A20 is on a different level than gold stake

[white zodiac]

a20 streaks sounds awful compared to like rotating streaks on balatro

[austere escarp]

I played that one poison character and apparently thats a shit character

[white zodiac]

damn that's one of my favorites

[molten thicket]

since when

[white zodiac]

discard builds were cool

[austere escarp]

Gold stake is kinda easy atp

[blissful fog]

Just strength the tens, trust

[lavish gazelle]

None are actively shit

[restive plover]

somehow every time i do a shiv run i always get time eater and always somehow still win

truly the spire's favorite on god

[lavish gazelle]

The silent is just harder to play

[austere escarp]

from what I heard at the very least they were the hardest

[pale wolf]

no c++

[austere escarp]

They were fun though

[pale wolf]

get ur game on

[austere escarp]

Ill get it eventually I am too busy grinding gears of war and minecraft recently

[pale wolf]

ur like 3 runs away

[austere escarp]

true

[pale wolf]

🥲

[white zodiac]

im currently grinding

to get a new watch

[austere escarp]

Ive actually thrown away multiple runs due to greed its really funny

I like sell an xmult joker banking on being able to get 2 stickers instead of one

[pale wolf]

theres that one company that makes wood watches

[fading dome]

cloudflare having issues 😩

[pale wolf]

I always felt like if I was going to get a fancy watch it would be that

[white zodiac]

that sounds painful

[pale wolf]

could you drive over and help them

[lavish gazelle]

Ahh would you look at the time

[pale wolf]

no they're cool

[austere escarp]

ive seen some insane wooden watches

[fading dome]

I'm sure cloudflare the billion dollar company is interested in input from one of their random small customers

[austere escarp]

Why are all the servers for everything ever going down left and right

[molten thicket]

okay the decision to not sell the trib was right

[austere escarp]

I couldnt even use balatrostats earlier I had to count my jokers ingame

[molten thicket]

my goat trib will never become $10

[white zodiac]

I was planning on getting this one on eBay or in a future trip

[austere escarp]

all it takes is 1 temperence to get value

[white zodiac]

seiko 5 collab

[fading dome]

smh can't believe such injustice is happening

[jagged cliff]

Sick ass watch

[heavy heron]

WOAH WOAHHH IS THIS BALATRO RELATED?!??!?!

damn that’s a cool watch

how much is it

[molten thicket]

you see the vision

[white zodiac]

460 usd, cheaper in local stores, osaka retailers, japanese domestic websites, 1k-1.5k on eBay

[heavy heron]

i mean, it’s not the worst price

crazy that a $460 watch isn’t considered too much nowadays

[austere escarp]

My last couple runs have been unlucky like theres a concerning lack of xmult in these shops and I am rerolling like 5 times a shop

[heavy heron]

i did a challenge once where i had to win a run on gold without x mult

[austere escarp]

like steel cards anything pls

I mean I have done that

[heavy heron]

no steel, glass, or any x mult jokers

[austere escarp]

on plasma...

[heavy heron]

ironically it wasn’t as difficult as i thought

NO NO PLASMA

LOOLLL

LIKE

i think i was on yellow

[white zodiac]

looks like this under black light

[heavy heron]

i had like a 100 fortune teller and a brainstorm

[heavy heron]

that’s awesome

i love being able to tell the time in the dark

[jagged cliff]

That's tuff

[shell dagger]

what does it look like in pitch darkness

[austere escarp]

im pretty sure somewhere throughout all my wins ive struggled and pulled through without xmult

[molten thicket]

thats sick

[viral raft]

???

[white zodiac]

like a watch in pitch darkness

[shell dagger]

woah

[austere escarp]

rookie numbers

just another day

[white zodiac]

idk, there's only like 2 thousand units

[lean meteor]

What if we get this as a joker in balatro (thats speed face btw)

[heavy heron]

someone check if they’re alright*

[white zodiac]

looks like my girl companion from top view

[austere escarp]

its runs like these where my friend instantly concedes due to me having way better stuff

[viral raft]

it looks like some lovecrafdt/cosmic horror creature

[jagged cliff]

A win is a win

[lean meteor]

I have more wanna see

[viral raft]

ok

[austere escarp]

🥐

[viral raft]

that's straight up just hair

[alpine halo]

do i take holo here for the xmult, i have a shit ton of aces and im doing a 5oak build

[viral raft]

in a weird form

[austere escarp]

croissant

[lean meteor]

Shhhhhhh

[viral raft]

bloody alien egg

[molten thicket]

hell yea

[jagged cliff]

Why not

[alpine halo]

what do i sell for it, green joker has 34 mult rn and RtB only has 11 mult rn

i was thinking rtb

[viral raft]

ts feels like thoses kirk AI photos

[coarse condor]

def not naneinf but im going farther than ever before

[alpine halo]

i got burglar and green joker from the same mega buffon lmao

[restive plover]

forbidden yaoi

[jagged cliff]

I'm not seeing the wallnut vision

[viral raft]

Question

[alpine halo]

im assuming i sell ride the bus here

[restive plover]

big if true

[viral raft]

if i get NANEINF, what happen in my best hand? nothing happens?

[alpine halo]

since grenn mult has more mult rn

[jagged cliff]

I would've

[coarse condor]

Your best hand becomes naneinf

[alpine halo]

okay i will then

[viral raft]

fr?

[alpine halo]

thanks for the help

[jagged cliff]

Np

[austere escarp]

I swear I see a walnut

[vale shale]

Whart

[vale shale]

Best hand as in

The one in the menu?

[jagged cliff]

Ehhhh, I'm seeing more of a dry tongue or something

[uncut bison]

build yes or build no

[jagged cliff]

But I haven't seen many walnuts in my life except for the pvz ones

[vale shale]

[zealous zinc]

best legendary for gold stake?

[vale shale]

Yo rick

[hasty harness]

rick

[vale shale]

Wait a minute

This feel slike

Fizh

Fish

[jagged cliff]

Chicot

[white zodiac]

richard faucet (some truck company i found on geoguesser)

[coarse condor]

8 antes too late I finally find it

I got like 2 antes left before I get scaled out, go for naneinf or nah?

[hasty harness]

why not lol

might as well go for it

[uncut bison]

the ecto is gonna hit the trading card

[coarse condor]

imagine lol

[uncut bison]

and its gonna be so wonderful

[hasty harness]

sell trading card and then roll into dna hopefully

[uncut bison]

trading card is eternal

[coarse condor]

boy fuck you

[uncut bison]

LOOOOOL

[hasty harness]

bro what is WRONG with u

sell the trading card lol

smh

[uncut bison]

its eternal

holy

[hasty harness]

oh

im slow

rofl

i cant see

[coarse condor]

I got goofed ante 1

eternal trading card before I knew this wasn’t just gonna be a “clear stake and move on” run

[alpine halo]

unluckyyy

[hasty harness]

sadly its impossible for u to naninf this run anyway so no worries

since ur not on plasma

woulda needed like 6 or 7 copiers

[white zodiac]

they look cool but I have some durability concerns

[coarse condor]

You only need 4 copiers iirc but yeah, fat chance here

[hasty harness]

thats on plasma

isnt it more

if ur not on plasma

?

[white zodiac]

dna borgler moment

[coarse condor]

I would also need like 80 red seal steel kings

[alpine halo]

dude theres so many aces in my deck how tf did i miss that

[coarse condor]

ok you’re not wrong, I would need 8 with my current setup

[hasty harness]

just bean bug

even tho u dont have room

for burglar and bean

[coarse condor]

bean bug ?

[hasty harness]

lets u get perm handsize increase

[alpine halo]

oh wtf burglar ignores needle

[coarse condor]

ik you aren’t talking to me but I have no knowledge of this

[hasty harness]

heres one run i did look

[coarse condor]

WOAHG

[alpine halo]

thats cool

[restive plover]

local girl forgets to move 2s in two pair to get chad wee joker value, more at 11

[uncut bison]

worst boss imaginable 😭 (skipped before i saw the boss cuz i thought it was free)

[hasty harness]

see right here

[tranquil cedar]

why does this matter anyways it's just +1 joker space

[hasty harness]

i have32 handsize

from bean bug

it was 35 but

i took 2 ectos

[coarse condor]

holy hell

[coarse condor]

If the trading card weren’t eternal, the best move would’ve been to sell card before echo

ecto*

[alpine halo]

its better to use negative on a scoring joker so that you can sell econ cards and get more scoring

[coarse condor]

just playing along with the bit lol

[hasty harness]

anyway bean bug is probably the least rng reliant way to naninf easily

[jagged cliff]

Things I could've achieved if my 2 hit bean bug run didn't die right after 😭💔

[hasty harness]

/ get to ante 39

[uncut bison]

the card is eternal whether or not the ecto hits it though so in this case it doesnt

[hasty harness]

ripppp

ive gotten 2 bean bug runs to ante 39

[white zodiac]

after baron mime burger serpent

[hasty harness]

yep

[alpine halo]

oh youre right

[hasty harness]

but probably the easiest way to get to ante 39

[white zodiac]

yeah

[hasty harness]

perkeo cryptid works as well but

u need perkeo for that so

:p

[white zodiac]

the only perkeoless a39 setup

[hasty harness]

yup

[tranquil cedar]

but it's eternal so like...?

[hasty harness]

is thanks to a bean

[tranquil cedar]

oh aight

[white zodiac]

-1 hand size

[tranquil cedar]

that's gonna happen anyways

[white zodiac]

-1 training card aura

[jagged cliff]

One day I'll get a bean bug run where it hits bean 10 times

[hasty harness]

most ive had it hit in one run was like 8 times

but it was when bean was only like +3 handsize

or + 2 handsize

so i didnt get max value

[forest dawn]

OK SO I FINALLY HAVE AN IDEA FOR MY PHYSICAL GAME
probably no one knows what i'm talking about so lemme explain

[jagged cliff]

Unfortunate but still a lot

[hasty harness]

yep

it got me to ante 39 so

was def enough

[lunar zealot]

"36?!?! BUT LAST YEAR I HAD 37"

[forest dawn]

basically, this phsyical game is based obviously on balatro

[tranquil cedar]

"But... some cards are better than last year..."

[forest dawn]

but with dices

[alpine halo]

yea im just slow

[forest dawn]

and with some changes obviously

[hasty harness]

i wonder how far we could go if the game could go past e308/ante39

[uncut bison]

you'd definitely need bean bug for ante 40

[zealous zinc]

ppl have done this with mods

[hasty harness]

yeah for sure

[uncut bison]

of course like talisman

[zealous zinc]

wait i meant to reply to fouler

[hasty harness]

well theoretically maybe not

[potent tree]

anaglyph stack on handsize tag

[uncut bison]

oooo

[hasty harness]

if u did bean bug on ante 8 16 24 and 32

[potent tree]

problem is you'll probably need obperkatory

[hasty harness]

u might have enough handsize already for the theoretical

ante 40

[austere escarp]

I miss gifs

[lunar zealot]

she says, having the ability to bring them back

[austere escarp]

I actually dont

[white zodiac]

I miss stickers

[jagged cliff]

Wait, you're telling me GIFS don't work

[hasty harness]

i was never here when they were a thing but pls bring back

🙏

[austere escarp]

I cant even use them myself anymore

[hasty harness]

dang

[lunar zealot]

technically they do you just have to circumvent them

[hasty harness]

sad

[white zodiac]

it was a different time around here

[lunar zealot]

Download the gif yourself and then send it

[white zodiac]

I miss 2012

[jagged cliff]

Interesting

[lunar zealot]

THIS WILL BE BALATRO IN

IN 2015

[restive plover]

balatro graphics in 2014

[austere escarp]

Basically a gif link just gets banished and through discord at least thats how they get sent

Its kinda cause the most annoying gifs ever were being spammed

If slow mode for just gifs was an option they would probably not be disabled

[hasty harness]

probably a good thing because i wouldnt spam gifs but i would definitely use them more then the avg person

[white zodiac]

i’m just sad that we didn’t get anything in return

[austere escarp]

uh

[fading dome]

wait you can't bypass it? crazy haha

[austere escarp]

I got us an obelisk emote

[jagged cliff]

[austere escarp]

thats the peak of my contributions

[white zodiac]

i take it back

[restive plover]

holy obby licks

[austere escarp]

I asked thunk and he just added it no questions asked

so based

[gaunt rain]

Hey guys I have question
