where’s idol emoji

[alpine halo]

how do you properly play obelisk

[jagged cliff]

I think we need more emotes

[gaunt rain]

Is localthunk allows unoffical language translation?

[austere escarp]

we have standards here in the balatro discord server

[white zodiac]

where is the obelisk role

[gaunt rain]

Because I want to help about some translation

[restive plover]

obelisk channel

[hasty harness]

add idol emoji please

idol best jonkler

[zealous zinc]

it’s a meme

pleas

[fading dome]

spam like high cards or pairs and then hope you can last till ante 8

[austere escarp]

email localthunk about it I am sure he wouldnt mind translation contributions

[jagged cliff]

I think you misspelled Bloodstone

[hasty harness]

2x is bigger then 1.5x

idol clears

[white zodiac]

yeah add the super idol media star emoji where he splashes water on my face

[fading dome]

Do you mean like a fanmade translation that can be modded into the game?

[jagged cliff]

One needs full deck setup of the same card where the other needs only heart cards

[austere escarp]

if this post gets ten thousand likes ill upload an idol emote /j

[hasty harness]

1/2

[lunar zealot]

Battle of Mid

[hasty harness]

idol less mid

🙏

[lunar zealot]

fuckin tweedledee and tweedledum ass argument

[jagged cliff]

Gambling = fun

[lunar zealot]

Beavis and butthead

[hasty harness]

lol

[lunar zealot]

statler and waldorf

[austere escarp]

I regret defending bloodstone cause literally all I needed that pos to do was trigger once on my flush of hearts to win and its just sleeping in my joker roster

[gaunt rain]

Yes there is quite good turkish translation mod for game. I inspected the files and its possible to make it offical language support. If he accepts volunteer help I can inspect translation and help to implement it

[hasty harness]

😴

[gaunt rain]

what is the mail, do you know it?

[jagged cliff]

Treat Bloodstone with love and care and he'll do the same

[devout stirrup]

just had my first ever cavendish break 🙃

[hasty harness]

probably here

idk tho

[gaunt rain]

thank you

[austere escarp]

His email is public [e-mail]

[hasty harness]

its been 2 months 😔

[white zodiac]

fuzzy ranks

[viral raft]

Local is probably cooking or relaxing after all his work

tbh deserved

[hasty harness]

working on 1.1 and relaxing 🫡

[white zodiac]

no he’s just playing rocket league again

[austere escarp]

bloodstone will treat me with 0 procs with sock and buskin and 5 red seals shi dusk wont save me hell I could be running all 5s with paradolia and hack and I wouldnt get a proc

[hasty harness]

based tbf

[fading dome]

I don't think Thunk is interested in anybody reaching out to him to help with translation work

I am a Musician / Artist / Translator / Tester
I am not looking for any help to work on Balatro at this time
#🙋・frequently-asked message

You can always send an e-mail about the honestly not great quality of the current translations, but just keep that FAQ in mind

[viral raft]

Relaxing after all

[hasty harness]

idol is better because by this point ur deck fix is done 😈

[austere escarp]

whoops

[jagged cliff]

Well then you probably didn't love him enough!!!

[restive plover]

yay

[hasty harness]

wee

[restive plover]

very normal jokers

[zealous zinc]

idol > bloodstone

[viral raft]

I respect alot Localthunk, he really make a amazing game him alone, it hate the fact that 1.1 comes 2026 instead of 2025, but we can blame him? he worked alot since the game release

[austere escarp]

not me thinking about this old ass post

[zealous zinc]

and that’s a fact

[viral raft]

no? :SOB:

[austere escarp]

Its honestly super fair

[hasty harness]

i dont think anyone is that mad

he can take all the time he wants

[jagged cliff]

>

[austere escarp]

imagine the riots in comparison with the gta 6 delays

[weak jackal]

Balatro

[zealous zinc]

your right i’m acc so multiplayer pilled

[restive plover]

we're gonna get balatro 1.3 before gta6

[zealous zinc]

what am i even saying

[weak jackal]

What if instead of balatro it was fortnite and instead of cards you have skins

[austere escarp]

1.1 is gonna be fire

[hasty harness]

balatro 2

before gta 6

[restive plover]

balatro 2 aka poker 3

[fading dome]

To be fair, there's a difference between emailing thunk personally "I'd like to help with translating" vs sending a message in the #1207803392978853898 or a google form with "hey there's this small issue with this translation"

[jagged cliff]

Looking forward to 1.1

[viral raft]

the diff is that Localthunk is just a guy that just can't make a update because of justified burnout, GTA 6 is just ragebait from one of the biggest companies in the gaming industry

[hasty harness]

yeah its a whole team working on a game and just edging it lol

[viral raft]

not even that also Rockstar since RDR2 didn't make any shit

[austere escarp]

itll be fire trust

[viral raft]

his last game was the trilogy remaster

straight up garbage

[molten thicket]

this game is so evil, just when im abt to go do some work it suddenly gives me a f5 trib run

[austere escarp]

that was a disasterous release

[viral raft]

the game itself is trash

[austere escarp]

The amount of pain in my soul as I sold people copies of it on the switch

[hasty harness]

gotta keep u playing somehow

[jagged cliff]

It's Balatro we're talking about, ofc it'll be fire

[hasty harness]

make every joker idol for 1.1 and my life is yours localthunk

[austere escarp]

Looking forward to the new jonklers

[viral raft]

i like Steam because shows how you can just make good games and being good

[jagged cliff]

Biggest Idol glazer on the planet right here

[austere escarp]

Ive never made idol useful

[uncut bison]

nah superposition

[austere escarp]

I also dont play endless thats part of it

[viral raft]

Idol sucks

[jagged cliff]

Don't play endless?

What

[uncut bison]

idol is peak

[viral raft]

probably one of the worst jokers in the gamne

[alpine halo]

i have 27 aces am i good to sell dna now

[uncut bison]

ok

[hasty harness]

lots of people just play to ante 8

[hasty harness]

yeah probably

[gaunt rain]

I found a Turkish mod, and I have to say that it's almost impossible to make a better translation than this. Whoever did the translation didn't just translate the words, they translated the meanings as well.

[austere escarp]

I want a better high score so I should play some endless sometime

[viral raft]

"b-but this joker is great in endless!" dude endless is just for deadass white stakers sybau 😭

[alpine halo]

alright i'll sell it and pick up blueprint

[hasty harness]

im never naninfing again

[austere escarp]

e202 was on goldstake btw

[hasty harness]

my highscore is too good

[jagged cliff]

Huh, interesting, I only did that when I was grinding for C++, but other than that, I love seeing where endless can take me

[hasty harness]

impressive

[austere escarp]

I think that makes it a little more impressive

I was going for naneinf but lowkey just messed it up

[hasty harness]

lol

[fading dome]

Those mods are usually teams of people that are really passionate about the game, so that doesn't surprise me haha. Feel free to email thunk that the community translations are really impressive and he should take a look though 🙃

[viral raft]

Endless is so boring

[hasty harness]

same but i get there perspective

[austere escarp]

literally

[viral raft]

is just playing until you die

[alpine halo]

how does your pause menu look like that? is it because of mods or

[austere escarp]

endless has 3 builds

[hasty harness]

no i dont have mods

[alpine halo]

is that the mobile ui

[viral raft]

endless the only build to naneinf is Baron mime

[austere escarp]

I have a few mods

[hasty harness]

nope

its steam

[austere escarp]

dont think I could ever play without the speedup mod again

so used to it

[alpine halo]

is there an option for more detailed menus or

ohhh thats the

[hasty harness]

im not sure? maybe its always looked that way for me

[alpine halo]

stats page

[hasty harness]

yeah

stats page always looks like that

[gaunt rain]

I have friends that start playing balatro after me but they dont have good english knowledge. Balatro is even hard to understand for people know english. So I want to help to game reach more people basically

[tired kestrel]

Are you in a rush to beat the game or smth?

[alpine halo]

purple staker here i have no idea what im talking about

[hasty harness]

its just quality of life

[white zodiac]

brain works faster than the game speed

[buoyant ridge]

even after watching balatro University i dont get better at the game

[austere escarp]

nah it just makes the scoring more tolerable

[buoyant ridge]

game just needs more op jokers with 100X mult scaling from start

[austere escarp]

imho the scoring is kinda slow

[potent tree]

practice makes perfect. while watching the videos helps you have to get used to the gameplay yourself for the greatest impact

[austere escarp]

also if you have a lot of gold cards

[hasty harness]

for like the first 10-15 hours i was playing on 1x game speed 💔

[tired kestrel]

Idk i just feel like, if you're just gonna make the sound design in the game into a mess then you're missing an arguably big part of the game

[white zodiac]

vanilla could use a x8 setting

[hasty harness]

idk how i was doing ts

[jagged cliff]

Thing that helped me was just watching Roffle Lite, seeing him make plays and sometimes explain his decisions helped me a lot

[hasty harness]

4x speed seems slow now

[buoyant ridge]

and hanging chad should retrigger 20 times instead of pathetic 2 times

[austere escarp]

you missed out on like 100 runs on god

[hasty harness]

fair

[hasty harness]

i mean i was trash anyway

🤷 \

[jagged cliff]

Same, didn't know there was a speed up

[austere escarp]

I mean the music is normal speed

[tired kestrel]

Maaaybe 6x would still keep the sounds coherent and satisfying

[austere escarp]

everything is sped up but the music

[restive plover]

playing at 8x speed so i can lose eight times faster

[jagged cliff]

But we all play at 0.5 speed right?

[hasty harness]

we should let balatro players make their own challenges

trust

[austere escarp]

you missed out on 100 opportunities to get better sooner

[hasty harness]

20 nat negative dices

[potent tree]

i play at 2x never 5x tho because i tend to misclick a damn lot

[jagged cliff]

5 eternal bloodstones

[tired kestrel]

I mean specifically the sound effects, although the music does get a bit samey

[hasty harness]

probably

[hasty harness]

5 eternal idols

😈

[austere escarp]

I mean I guess

[jagged cliff]

Bro 😭

[potent tree]

5 eternal OA6 and 1 negative cavendish

[austere escarp]

it adds to the charm of balatro with points going up and up all fast n shi

[tired kestrel]

Idk i value sound design ALOT its make or break for me in certain games

[potent tree]

if cavendish dies you automatically get game over'd

[hasty harness]

fun run time

[jagged cliff]

I smell a vampire around the corner

[tired kestrel]

MAybe, but i feel having the sounds match my reaction speed gives me time to soak it in

[tired kestrel]

we sell hex true?

[hasty harness]

i mean i was holding it because im gonna sell out of mask probably

[alpine halo]

literally having the dream run rn

[tired kestrel]

fair ig

[tired kestrel]

Then again you're prolly gonna run into at least 2 jokers you wanna get before all your faces are gold

[tired kestrel]

got damn

[hasty harness]

well uh

ig i gotta sell hex now

[jagged cliff]

I told you

[hasty harness]

lol

[tired kestrel]

lol

[zealous zinc]

music is samey but i’ve also played like thousands of hours and never turned it off

[lunar zealot]

Hooly

i had this exact same run earlier

[tired kestrel]

It's designed in such a way where it sinks into the background and never gets old but becasue of that specifically the main theme doesn't really do much no matter how good it is

[austere escarp]

I was going to show a video of it but the audio is out of sync

its surprisingly well implemented it doesnt ruin the audio of the game at all imo

the speed up mod

[tired kestrel]

say?

[heavy heron]

hologram ante 1.. i mean cmon

[austere escarp]

it might just be pot player being buggy cause I havent updated it

[zealous zinc]

wdym outside?

i mean i listen to that shit even when i’m not playing

[alpine halo]

purple stake is done onto orange stake

[tired kestrel]

whoops ignore that

I was gonna type something else but the sentence changed in my head midway

[tired kestrel]

Thats so fast that doesn't feel right at all to me

[austere escarp]

the fast quick restarts are a godsend

[tired kestrel]

Quick restarts sound fine admitedly but like

I don't restart alot if ever

[austere escarp]

quick restarts are in the game already

just hold R

[zealous zinc]

anything past 4x is really only useful if you are doing extreme high score runs imo

it’s nice to have like 16x speed for a naneinf run

[hasty harness]

baron mime serpent burglar

go brrrr

its so slow lol

[austere escarp]

I run I think 2x on the speedup mod with 4x ingame

[alpine halo]

first shop hieroglyph is the play trust

[austere escarp]

The game becomes a slog without it

[tired kestrel]

man when did we start calling it this and not restart hotkey

[austere escarp]

I mean that might be what they are called

idk

[alpine halo]

good god this image has taken like 5 minutes to upload

my wifi cant be this ass

[austere escarp]

evo credit card some better internet

[tired kestrel]

Either way a faster restart is nice but i don't restart like ever

[austere escarp]

me spamming the R key anytime the first shop is slightly ass

[alpine halo]

my card is out of cycle

[tired kestrel]

I only did that when i was on tilt playing gold stake black deck after failing a really good run because i missplayed

[austere escarp]

Oh god its taken way too long to realize

[alpine halo]

finally jeez

[polar prairie]

am I cooked

I lost this unseeded run because my hand was bad

[austere escarp]

Black deck gold stake felt like a monumental accomplishment in my life

[alpine halo]

what the fuck happened here

[stable girder]

why would you even ecto 😭

[polar prairie]

uh I'm bad at balatro

I got ecto ankh invisible

red seal q

[alpine halo]

i fear the day i have to do black deck for completionist

[tired kestrel]

You sound like you'd enjoy geometry dash

[ionic trail]

Oh god, it's that's a three blueprints right?

[alpine halo]

you should do hotline miami achievemtns you'll love the feeling

[austere escarp]

ive beaten every main level

[stable girder]

unlucky go next

[austere escarp]

used to like geometry dash a lot but newer levels theres too much going on

I think deadlocked to this day is my hardest demon I am not great at GD

[proper turtle]

what would be better here? I got some red seal kings

[polar prairie]

insane luck on eternals

[stable girder]

photo 4x no?

or am i getting that wrong

[tired kestrel]

I still play it daily, i've gone all the way up to mid insane demon, trying to practice for crimson clutter as of late

I love gd

[stable girder]

even more since red seal

[austere escarp]

I got 60 something % on 8o

I remember being hyped about that

[proper turtle]

photo is x4 now so x4 more, that is x16 if im not wrong

[austere escarp]

dunno how good that is

[jagged cliff]

Ditch card sharp and pick photo

[stable girder]

8x with red seal, its not even close photo is way better here

[buoyant ridge]

and loosing again lol

stupid unbalanced game

[proper turtle]

getting photo

[tired kestrel]

Good lord why are you playing 8o also not bad thats almost an entire entry hard demon i'd argue

[austere escarp]

8o was cool level

ooooooOOOOOOooooo uh o OH OH

[tired kestrel]

I mean it's cool but MAN the gameplay sucks

[austere escarp]

krazyman50 made worse

[tired kestrel]

oh god that name makes me feel old

[austere escarp]

I was really into GD between 1.8 to 2.1 I remember all those updates

2.2 came out but I kinda grew out of GD

[tired kestrel]

You should totally try it again

Theres alot to do still

[austere escarp]

and the new levels I just cant read them theres too much going on. A modern day decorated level is really hard to play for me

[proper turtle]

hell yeah

[stable girder]

grats!

[austere escarp]

I could hardly handle nine circles

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[soft vapor]

Oh right it's only queens and kings

[tired kestrel]

Honestly fair, thats more so on the creators than the levels themselves

And practice is going to make things much more understandable

[austere escarp]

GD levels became more about the art than gameplay and I can respect that

[jagged cliff]

Wow, calm down

[stable girder]

an eternal golden joker that is so beautiful

[buoyant ridge]

i cant even win on gold stake plasma on 30 runs

[austere escarp]

ehh I have no interest in GD anymore I touch too much grass to even consider getting into it again

[tired kestrel]

It's kind of a shame, i always loved the game for it's gameplay

[soft vapor]

Can't say no to free money on a campfire build

[tired kestrel]

damn

[austere escarp]

I hop on GD just to play deadlocked its my favorite

[ionic trail]

I finally got an "e" score. Yeah, after a long time I finally got it, I'm really bad. (Yeah, ignore the language in the screenshot)

[tired kestrel]

Oh if you think theres to much in modern levels, you should check out cloud nine by sodaz, thats my hardest level

[stable girder]

campfire my beloved

[soft vapor]

My hardest is deadlocked

[stable girder]

such a good joker

[soft vapor]

On mobile

[tired kestrel]

I've been a memory freak ever since geometrical dominator so visual difficulty ain't a thing

[austere escarp]

Campfire on gold stake is a buff

[buoyant ridge]

am i the only one who finds balatro eXtremely unbalanced ?

[tired kestrel]

ay nice

[austere escarp]

geometrical dominator was so dummmb

IT inspired the worst levels ever back then

[soft vapor]

At first I didn't know how campfire worked, I thought to myself "isn't this just hit the road but selling things and for 3 rounds instead of one?"
I was so wrong

[austere escarp]

Hexagon force is the hardest base game level ill die on that

[stable girder]

yes

[austere escarp]

double cube too hard brain no likey

[tired kestrel]

ok i kinda agree, but the level itsself is great

[tired kestrel]

lol imagine

You do use practice mode right?

[stable girder]

i think thats how you think about every joker until you try them icl

except hologram

[lofty mist]

What a start

[stable girder]

i will never use that shitty joker

[jagged torrent]

Richard bait on its way to hit a queen in my 95 all king deck 🥀

[soft vapor]

Magic trick:

Standard packs:

[austere escarp]

dash is the only level I havent beat in practice mode

[soft vapor]

Certificate:

[stable girder]

oh its not because its a bad gameplay joker

[proper turtle]

im glad I took the heiro and petro early on

[stable girder]

i just dont like it as a person

[soft vapor]

Marble joker:

[stable girder]

i hope that makes sense

[soft vapor]

Ohhh

[tired kestrel]

Ok thats good at least

[stable girder]

op joker actually

[jagged torrent]

Spectal in sixth sense

[pale wolf]

just explain you're just from balatrowiki hq and they should be amenable

[fading dome]

Official Balatrowiki HQ representative

[pale wolf]

woah
i should've figured japanese watches are different

[jagged torrent]

Ong how am I supposed to sail the seven seas now? 😔

[jagged torrent]

John balatro wiki

[fading dome]

big if true

[pale wolf]

rename to larswijki

[fading dome]

larswiki.org kinda fire ngl

[pale wolf]

all of the pertinent lars in history

[pure oasis]

my soul aches, but i need twenty bucks more

[pale wolf]

i admit i dont think i know any historical lars

[white zodiac]

balartowiki.org

[jagged cliff]

Nahh bro

[tired kestrel]

Bruh

[pale wolf]

20 bucks better

[white zodiac]

the limited edition releases go crazy, second hand watches are also nice but are hard to find in stores

[pale wolf]

too bougie for me

[tired kestrel]

Perkeo gives you more if you get it thats worth as hell cmonn

[pale wolf]

plus id lose a watch

[tired kestrel]

Can even get you naninf

[white zodiac]

damn, i was gonna wear this for fitness or trail running

[fading dome]

Tell it to the notable Lars list on wikipedia

[white zodiac]

how do you
what

[proper turtle]

red steel kings are insane

[pure oasis]

damn,, boss is now the Ox. Another reroll coming

[pale wolf]

i lose everything

[left wave]

[white zodiac]

so it’s more than just losing in balatro

[pure oasis]

i'll raise your red steel king with red poly-steel Kings

[naive jolt]

Guys i'm going for the oops synergy

[proper turtle]

i want to unlock plasma deck

[jagged torrent]

Nat neg perko in soul thrust

[pure oasis]

yeah, it it is fun to play. Hope you get it soon opened

and game over

[soft vapor]

That was close

[soft vapor]

Should've bought retcon

[pale wolf]

😡

[pure oasis]

well, i have been searching that for whole game

had a Director's cut

[soft vapor]

Dw luchador in the next shop

[pale wolf]

should've taken the voucher skip

/s

[pure oasis]

and even made couple voucher skips with Double Tags but no luck

[naive jolt]

Parking or business card ?

[jagged torrent]

Why /s tho?
I think the vouch skip can be very useful with dtags

[pale wolf]

orange chicken tenders joker when

[pure oasis]

one was triple Voucher

[pale wolf]

It's sarcasm because they're probably playing properly, and when you play properly you do take the voucher tags

[ionic trail]

I sell ADN for an error...

I am Soo stupid

[pale wolf]

Like me telling a top player to save for interest /s

[white zodiac]

joker activates when score is set on fire

like honey chipotle chicken at chilis

[pure oasis]

yup, hard to see the sarcasm through frustration and disappointment

[soft vapor]

They should add a joker that needs to have a score set on fire 3 times in a row to properly cook and give 1.1x mult

[mighty topaz]

Best jokers for a diamond build?

[white zodiac]

um

chico

[pale wolf]

besides the obvious?

[naive jolt]

Nooooo

[foggy sun]

but now ur bloodstone has a 4 in 2 chance to go off

[round plume]

God I've been stuck on red deck/gold stake forever

[hasty harness]

*3/2

[bold harbor]

What i should do here? Maybe play to poker hand?

[naive jolt]

Oops is x2 not +1

[foggy sun]

no? it doubles ur current odds of things

[naive jolt]

So 4/2

[mighty topaz]

Please list the obvious

[hasty harness]

wait fr?

dang

i havent used oops in awhile

didnt know dat

[naive jolt]

Also it's good for the lucky cards to feed the cat ig

[foggy sun]

yeah. so two dice means 4 in 5 chance for 20 mult with lucky cards

[pale wolf]

rough gem, greedy

[hasty harness]

big

[white zodiac]

bloodstone

[buoyant ridge]

and loosing again

because i cant draw what i want

[foggy sun]

it also insta breaks glass which can be deck fixing for until idol is setup

[lofty mist]

Keep going for full house here right?
I have 0 deck fixing

[hasty harness]

probably because of rental castle

[low iris]

ante 1 had 2 double tags, got a rare joker in shop after boss, small blind ante 2 had free rare joker tag

[buoyant ridge]

yeah but everone says i should go for chips on plasma

[pale wolf]

smeared and bloodstone :p

[hasty harness]

yes dont take baron

[mighty topaz]

And then?

[buoyant ridge]

game just unbalanced

[hasty harness]

ancient and stuntman have infinite synergy 😈

[low iris]

4 rare jokers that synergize before ante 3

[buoyant ridge]

and weak jokers

[foggy sun]

Its actually secretly the meta to go +mult on plasma

[tired kestrel]

These jokers do NOT synergise at all

well

brainstorm

Besides that

[buoyant ridge]

maybe if im so bad at the game i should play cryptid mod

[mighty topaz]

Working on something big

[hasty harness]

just sell ancient and play high card / pairs

[foggy sun]

what is that stuntman and ancient doing together. they are like anti synergistic

[low iris]

brainstorm + burnt to double level high card, then brainstorm stuntman for insane high card build

ancient kind of sucks tho

[pale wolf]

not really sure, no other jokers benefit much from diamonds specifically
there might be some sort of synergy with the way diamonds are always sorted to the right, but im not sure what it would be

[buoyant ridge]

stuntman and ancient joker also weak

[hasty harness]

with burnt stuntman and brainstorm

[low iris]

im gonna sell it bro it was just to get me past the big blind in ante 2

i got it in a joker pack for 4 bucks

[foggy sun]

yeah sell that ancient joker PLEASE. u at least have something with burnt, stunt, and brainstorm

[buoyant ridge]

should i watch balatro university

[mighty topaz]

Wdym sorted to the right?

[white zodiac]

stm/baron/steel/fist

[low iris]

read the third word

[foggy sun]

I did. im just saying sell the ancient specifically

[low iris]

oh and i have telescope

i forgot lol

[white zodiac]

assuming you don’t need blackboard to function or have boss disabling tools

[low iris]

free high card win

[pale wolf]

The order of the suits go Spades hearts clubs diamonds, so when you sort by suit all of your diamonds are to the right, and when you sort by rank, the diamond is the furthest right rank of each group

[gray depot]

triboulet?

[gray depot]

nope

[buoyant ridge]

how about this ? this is actually balanced

[hasty harness]

could you even call it massive?

[gray depot]

its pretty long and you'll learn more from watching rofflelite play

[tired kestrel]

Brainstorm is a cop out since it quite literally synergises with everything it can copy
Stuntman screws your burnt an ancient because less hand size makes both less consistant
Burnt doesnt want to play flushes or low hand size
Ancient doesn't want to play anyhting other than flushes

Bruh

[pale wolf]

this can be significant on face down blinds and for quicker shoot the moon/raised fist functionality

[gray depot]

how

oh mod

[low iris]

im burning high cards

stuntman is a low card build

[tired kestrel]

Oh yea and levels make getting chips from stuntman pretty irrelevant later on

[hasty harness]

brainstorm + burnt and stuntman are good

[naive jolt]

I'd have liked to have sock, but ig chad can work
I'm debated between getting rid of the bloodstone to feed the cat or getting rid of an oops and feeding the cat slower but having bloodstone

[mighty topaz]

Just learned ancient doesn't choose based off deck build

Oops

[gray depot]

yes but ancient does not synergise

[tired kestrel]

Did you even read the damn thing

[hasty harness]

yes im saying for now its good to live

[gray depot]

removing bloodstone kills your scoring btw

[unreal island]

Guys do i buy 8ball because i dont wanna deal with this loser

[low iris]

wow its almost like you can change the deck up later on

[pale wolf]

rip

[naive jolt]

I'm only ante 6

[hasty harness]

my my what a shocker

[low iris]

🥀 balatro players arent real

[lofty mist]

Should i?
I have no reroll for plant if it shows up

[tulip axle]

Will Balatro receive any more official ports?

[unreal island]

Its getting an atari port

[tulip axle]

I think a PS3 port would be quite nice

[low iris]

500 chips ante 2 in a high card build is actually NOT a good thing and here's why!

[gray depot]

show deck

[tulip axle]

The PS3 absolutely could run the game

[mighty topaz]

Trust

[unreal island]

Cryptid mod

[gray depot]

what's spare joker looking like?

[pale wolf]

How does stuntman make burnt high card less consistent lmfao

[gray depot]

stuntman is just bad imo(after ante 8)

[tired kestrel]

It's better than not having it ig but like, being able to scale pairs instead of high card i'd think be better

[pale wolf]

terrible take

[gray depot]

how many 8s

[unreal island]

At least 0

[gray depot]

depends on which build

[tired kestrel]

No i'm not trying to claim that

[pale wolf]

oh well after ante 8 doesnt matter

got edited after I replied

[lofty mist]

38

[gray depot]

drop it

[hasty harness]

highcard and pairs basically scale the same when u have burnt + brainstorm

[lofty mist]

Aight

[gray depot]

you're already reliant on photo for scoring so even if plant comes you'll get cooked

[unreal island]

Chat rate the joker lineup

[tired kestrel]

25% more chips on pairs, thats effectively an extra 1.25x mult

[buoyant ridge]

this is what i see as a vanilla balanced game

[tired kestrel]

idk man

[pale wolf]

debug mode be like

16/5 jokers

[tired kestrel]

Also maybe more chances to trigger enhancements but thats prolly stretching it

[hasty harness]

yeah

[gray depot]

^^^

[hasty harness]

most enhancements wont matter with that high of a level

[gray depot]

planet scaling is much easier than burnt if u get something as simple as telescope

[hasty harness]

steel but thats in hand

[pale wolf]

200% the amount of enhancement/edition/seal value potential, also seeing double and duo

[tired kestrel]

Either way i'm gonna argue they anti-synergise

[hasty harness]

duo is big

[gray depot]

planets are much more overpowered than taking burnt any day

[low iris]

i got a perkeo with it

[pale wolf]

also uh

[hasty harness]

i prefer burnt but thats me

[pale wolf]

why are you people pretending like -2 hand size makes it very hard to draw a pair

[hasty harness]

because its consistent

[tired kestrel]

Seeing doube and duo can take you over the finish line

[hasty harness]

idk :p

[pale wolf]

pairs are still extremely easy to draw

[gray depot]

perkeo is pretty bad here bruh

[low iris]

yea

[gray depot]

just keep deaths and try to deck fix

sell stuntman if u can

[white zodiac]

what about on black deck :3

[gray depot]

and try using perkeo for planet scalin

[tired kestrel]

what would you rather have here even

[white zodiac]

jk

[low iris]

i can use it for pluto or smt i guess as a bailout cause i alr have quick wins

[low iris]

yes but im not selling stunt

[hasty harness]

chicot solos again

[gray depot]

something reliable to replace ancient for scoring

[gray depot]

long term

[tired kestrel]

You've got perkeo brainstorm copy glass cards

[coarse condor]

fkkkk I tried to do the bean bug and messed it up

[tired kestrel]

dog

[hasty harness]

what happened

[pale wolf]

I mean I would definitely take stuntman on Black Deck

[low iris]

is brainstorm actually compatible with perkeo>

[coarse condor]

3000 wee joker, hack and bean were my only jokers and it hit the hack. I one shot the blind sadge

[pale wolf]

yea

[low iris]

oh

[hasty harness]

yeah

[hasty harness]

💔

[low iris]

what if i make my entire deck one suit

[white zodiac]

same, i just wouldn’t go pairs on top of it

[gray depot]

yes

[gray depot]

bad

[hasty harness]

i mean tbf what were u tryna bean bug into baron mime?

[gray depot]

you're using ancient joker for scoring here

try to draw reliable flushes

but stuntman kills that ability

[low iris]

no imnot bro

[coarse condor]

I was, indeed

[gray depot]

so that's why its horrible

[hasty harness]

i see

[gray depot]

so you're scaling pair?

[tired kestrel]

Get out of stunt and hard search for idol, red seals and retriggers and you've got your new high score

[gray depot]

too long term

[hasty harness]

just to help with my own experience its probably better if u can get brainstorm/blueprints on burglar

[coarse condor]

Either that or flush five with wee

[gray depot]

but he can deck fix hard with the perkeo pivot

[hasty harness]

fair

[coarse condor]

fair enough, I also didn’t see burglar haha

[pale wolf]

stunt+aj is a bad idea yes

[hasty harness]

cuz ectos

[gray depot]

aj + perkeo is a bad idea

[hasty harness]

yeah thats what makes it hard but if u can live to ante 16 with retcon

[pale wolf]

seems fine?

[hasty harness]

u could try to do it again

[gray depot]

youll either pivot to some weak wild card build or you're stuck in a weird spot trying to manage suites

[coarse condor]

I’ve got retcon, I’ll give it a try

[hasty harness]

gl

[pale wolf]

or just use it for planet levels/ money

[hasty harness]

:p

[tired kestrel]

Maybe but like, they've already won the run they might as well go for high score

[coarse condor]

See if I can find burglar and copiers haha

thanks!

[pale wolf]

Don't tunnel vision on Deck fixing with perkeo

[hasty harness]

yeah

[serene forge]

I love Stuntman

[gray depot]

perkeo for money is pretty bad long term, but yeah when you get it early ante just use it to manage econ

[hasty harness]

honestly idol is better then trib because trib is only kings and queens and idol can be ANYTHING!

so it doesnt die to plant!

idol clears

[gray depot]

trib is a legendary and idol is an uncommon

[coarse condor]

idol only picks from existing card pool right?

[gray depot]

'the goad'

[gray depot]

yes

use stone cards to cut that

[hasty harness]

😈

[tired kestrel]

Perkeo and copy 2 suit changers and gg

[wintry ice]

uh yeah 20$ per round is pretty bad

totally not rebate level economy

[pale wolf]

idol should be able to pick stone cards
adding this to my kaizo concept

[gray depot]

except you're killing all that effort you put into idol

[gray depot]

its hard enough to make a deck uniform already

perkeo is genuinely the worst early ante joker

[shell dagger]

3 sticker run with 7 to go is so peak

[wintry ice]

the idol in question

[tired kestrel]

What else are you gonna do

Just play the dry hand?

The idol can't do anything to debuffed cards anyway

[pale wolf]

what

[gray depot]

you're losing either way bro

[pale wolf]

bro would rather have showman and seance than perkeo

[gray depot]

yeah

[tired kestrel]

chicot, canio, even fuckin tribulet if your scoring is coming from jokers

[hasty harness]

L ragebait 💀

[pale wolf]

you're A comedian

[hasty harness]

even if u wanna say ts u could just sell the perkeo for $10

[gray depot]

as i said, early antes

[hasty harness]

which is dumb

but okay

[pale wolf]

Yes, that was taken into account

[gray depot]

because it's just a roughed up econ joker at best

[pale wolf]

It's ridiculous opinion

[tired kestrel]

That would imply he's funny

[shell dagger]

It’s a golden joker at the very worst

[hasty harness]

ragebait lol

[gray depot]

yorick, chicot win the game, triboulet carries you, canio also scales well in the early antes

[pale wolf]

Have you seen Joe Rogan

You do not have to be funny to be a comedian

[low iris]

lol ok

[tired kestrel]

Ok true

[gray depot]

yorick deserves more love lmao

even canio

i mean canio is the worst of the 4

[hasty harness]

people literally say hes the best on gold stake

💀

[gray depot]

yall overhype perkeo a lot

[tired kestrel]

yorick is pretty universally considered the goat for actually completing runs

[hasty harness]

literally just look up yorick

[shell dagger]

nice

[tired kestrel]

but sure

[hasty harness]

in the search filter

you'll see ppl glaze yorick

[tired kestrel]

Skill issue

[hasty harness]

wtv u say bro

[shell dagger]

609 on the castle

[gray depot]

yes

[wintry ice]

20$ per round when most are in the range of 4-8 is bad apparently

[tired kestrel]

so you lie

[hasty harness]

that doesnt even include ppl saying yorick best joker etc

just yorick top

ppl know yorick is good

💔

[gray depot]

ok

love to be a part of said people

[wintry ice]

balatro discord's most original contrarian

[tired kestrel]

hell i'd argue yorick is overrated because you can't get him consistantly

[gray depot]

yeah hate on perkeo more

[hasty harness]

also u said u would have showman and seance > perkeo

like 💀

its ragebait

[gray depot]

showman or seance

seance is pretty strong with four fingers say

[naive jolt]

I think i get out of business card

[gray depot]

you're getting a consistent spectral card each hand

useful for deck fixing

[wintry ice]

what are the spectrals doing for you

[gray depot]

seance is very good on checkered or something

[hasty harness]

oh yeah because ill have seance and four fingers in early antes!

[gray depot]

deck fixing? getting me more red seal kings?

[gray depot]

its not impossible?

[hasty harness]

more red seal kings 💔

white stake gaming

[wintry ice]

red seal kings in a straight build

[pale wolf]

no you arent??????????

not even with ff

[hasty harness]

lets see you explain showman then

💀

[gray depot]

depends if you have a good joker

[hasty harness]

showman is actively a detriment

[gray depot]

showman is good when you have an open joker slot and a good joker

[hasty harness]

not when ur in early antes with no econ

[wintry ice]

you need a lot of economy to make showman actually benefit you

[hasty harness]

rofl

[gray depot]

fair

i didnt think about that

[wintry ice]

and if getting more of what already have is better than getting new stuff

then congratulations

you already won

[mighty topaz]

I mean I did it

[pale wolf]

showman is good when you can afford to buy it and waste a slot for as long as you hold it, which is like
when you're already winning the run regardless

[hasty harness]

photochad go brrrr

[cursive prairie]

what should i do? sell perkeo?

[gray depot]

yes

no

no

dont

[alpine nest]

A baron?

[pale wolf]

otherwise it affects the way you improve the shop too much to be worth holding

[mighty topaz]

It's a shame I had to resort to photochad but regardless

[wintry ice]

sell a baron if you can affoard to

[crystal field]

imagine after getting one spectral from seance there was a joker who could copy that consumable for u with zero effort

[cursive prairie]

i have the invisibile one to buy

[hasty harness]

at this point probably since u cant particle accelerate enough

even if u get observatory

[cursive prairie]

i dont have observatory

[alpine nest]

True

[cursive prairie]

lol

[gray depot]

he needs perkeo to dupe cryptid

[cursive prairie]

it didn't appear

[hasty harness]

on red deck?

[pale wolf]

crytpid

[cursive prairie]

im in ante 13

[gray depot]

oh right

[cursive prairie]

so i don't know if i need perkeo

[pale wolf]

its also not plasma

[gray depot]

yeah u dont

who even goes for high score endless on non plasma

[hasty harness]

this is quite literally the one time seance was useful

[gray depot]

u can still naneinf

[cursive prairie]

so i should sell him?

[hasty harness]

got me red seal + 2 ectos

[hasty harness]

yeah probably

[cursive prairie]

sure thank u guys

[white zodiac]

i’ve had two decently useful gs seance runs

[cursive prairie]

do yall want seed? it's a random seed

[wintry ice]

5$ temperance value

[hasty harness]

yeah on gs ive had it been useful like once on yellow deck

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1387960375340957736/InShot_20250626_205510602.mp4?ex=691dbf14&is=691c6d94&hm=bf4ba0249e150ab19718b85b7f720dcb8c736e15721235ea3c49857111a482a7&
the only time ive finished a run with seance was stickering it and i dont think it did anything but im not 100% on that

[cursive prairie]

but is in red decj

[white zodiac]

like total

[hasty harness]

i mean i had giftcard atp

[nimble vault]

I shouldn't be alive

[pale wolf]

this is a silly build

[gray depot]

chip runs dont win gold stake unless bull + crazy econ

[nimble vault]

it won because I found an ice cream in ante 8

[gray depot]

wild

[nimble vault]

welcome to plasma

[pale wolf]

they 100% can? its just 20% of them die to VV

[hasty harness]

what level did u have

in pairs/highcard

[white zodiac]

I had to nerf myself because I was getting too many immuhlates

[nimble vault]

that one straight is crazy

[gray depot]

seance ❤️

[hasty harness]

fun build

[gray depot]

dream build

[hasty harness]

i saw blue seal so i thought you'd have more lol

but u did have stuntman so

makes sense

[nimble vault]

5 hand size so I couldn't find it

[vale wharf]

I might just be the dumbest girl alive
I created two Planet Xs using blue seals and then sold them in the shop 😭

[white zodiac]

with a side of mild headache
double swash & poopstone

[hasty harness]

i mean at least you planet blocked?

[cursive prairie]

it's ok?

[crystal field]

crudstone

[vale wharf]

Planet blocked?

[cursive prairie]

brainstorm

[hasty harness]

holding them means u cant see them in shop

they'll be other planets

[hasty harness]

brainstorm was best hit

[vale wharf]

My deck has like 20 queens and 35 total cards

[naive jolt]

Cat be chonk

[pale wolf]

guess the joker

[cursive prairie]

oh nice

[hasty harness]

trading

[crystal field]

trading card

[pale wolf]

easy one

[cursive prairie]

lol

[buoyant ridge]

even with full hause lvl 7 i cant beat this what am i doing wrong

[iron stag]

is balatro multiplayer?

[wintry ice]

4 fingies

[crystal field]

i wonder what the other 95 trading cards look like

[buoyant ridge]

you need like a pokerhand lvl 100 to win this lmao

[wintry ice]

oh

tc

[mighty topaz]

Managed to squeeze in a winning balatro run while eating at Denny's

Love this game

[wintry ice]

playing plasma deck

[hasty harness]

ur joker lineup and building around a hard to draw hand

also taking rentalws

[buoyant ridge]

idk should i only force pairs ?

[hasty harness]

probably

[hasty harness]

no but why build around full house

they dont scale well

and hard to draw

[wintry ice]

just use a chip build until you know you can switch to mult

[buoyant ridge]

its my 30th loss streak on gold plasma today

[pale wolf]

there's a mod that is

[hasty harness]

i wanna try multiplayer but at the same time i dont

[white zodiac]

7 of spades

wait

my script is broken

[pale wolf]

ok 3 jokers

[crystal field]

sock cola

uh

[vale wharf]

This is so beautiful 😍

[tired kestrel]

||Sock cola smeared||

[crystal field]

smeared?

ya

[white zodiac]

smeared doesn’t have legible text

[crystal field]

ooh

[tired kestrel]

wait fr?

[cursive prairie]

bro this is the best run i ever have

[devout stirrup]

currently in a run with the largest wee ive ever had before endless o.o

does size matter what is considered a large pre ante8 wee

[pale wolf]

just thought of maybe a better ver of this idea

[white zodiac]

oh?

[unreal island]

Just beat magic deck gold stake on second file yippee

[balmy ridge]

let me spoil you baby

[hasty harness]

get 8k more

[unreal island]

🫠

[balmy ridge]

SIX SEVEN SIX SEVEN SIX SEVEN

[crystal field]

for the third one i genuinely dont know

[balmy ridge]

im making 3440 per round anyway

[devout stirrup]

ok but fr what is like considered like a big wee pre ante8

[unreal island]

Bootstraps best scaling +mult confirmed?

[winter pelican]

sorry wrong channel

[balmy ridge]

im on plasma

[crystal field]

no idea for last one

[balmy ridge]

if i found a negative bull right now

i woudl be like wow thats cool

[cursive prairie]

w run?

[devout stirrup]

died with a 2400 wee on ante 7

[ripe thicket]

Delayed?

[balmy ridge]

how

[devout stirrup]

i had no mult LOL

[balmy ridge]

im pretty sure all you need with that many chips is like michel

[devout stirrup]

legit blueprint wee dusk zany joker

lvl 2 flush 5

2 mult cards and one lucks card

[balmy ridge]

mm i find it hard to believe that you found no mult jokers whatsoever in 7 antes

[brazen mango]

oh

what do i do

or nothing

[balmy ridge]

what did he mean by this

bottom text

[devout stirrup]

tbf playing rental + dusk from ante 1 kinda hurt my econ, no early mult so i was forced 2

[crystal field]

is it: card shart

?

OH FUCK

too little too late

[pale wolf]

I mean you did get it

I assume without the answer

[white zodiac]

give them another playing card

[crystal field]

thats fun tho

i love to guess

[brazen mango]

do i take anything

or just do nothing

[crystal field]

yea i scrolled up and saw the reveal

[devout stirrup]

OH also i had a 6th sense early that gave me 3 cryptids in a row, only rzn i had deckfixing to survive

[indigo laurel]

im so bad at the game will someone coach me beat green stake? 😓

[vocal warren]

SIGH

[hasty harness]

whats the struggle

ur having

[pale wolf]

maybe this version is better

[crystal field]

cloud nine fo sho

[hasty harness]

id give up burnt even tho blood stone is inconsistent

ur flush level is high enough

[pale wolf]

3 jokers

[hasty harness]

and even one hit is pretty big with ur bloodstone

[crystal field]

i think midas mask is maybe the first one

[white zodiac]

yeah

[indigo laurel]

i always mess up, dont know how to build a deck cus some bad rng on Jockers and skill issue resulting in me dying early cus of green stake scaling

[crystal field]

i think thats flash card too

?

[indigo laurel]

im using gold deck for cash

[ripe thicket]

I think the first one is smiley

[hasty harness]

so yellow deck

[indigo laurel]

oh yeah

[hasty harness]

okay so id try to get some form of mult early

and save ur interest

the whole point of yellow deck is to get strong early because more money from the starting money

the interest compounds

[vale wharf]

Would it be accurate to say abandoned deck is one of the easiest decks?

[crystal field]

ok so

smiley, jj, cloud 9?

[hasty harness]

yeah thta seems right

[indigo laurel]

i try but i reroll into nothingess and back to no cash. when i get cash i try to stay at 25%~ min for interest

[hasty harness]

those would be my guesses as well

[hasty harness]

if u dont get mult dont reroll stay at $25

[dawn scarab]

sure

[hasty harness]

if u need something to survive

try to get like a flush or straight level

early on

that can keep u alive early game

while u look for mult

[indigo laurel]

ic

[ripe thicket]

imo the easiest one is chekered

[hasty harness]

yellow or blue are probably the easiest

imo

[dawn scarab]

plasma deck super easy

[hasty harness]

not on higher stakes

[dawn scarab]

xD

[vale wharf]

It should be 52 😠

[white zodiac]

pretty much, it’s up there with blue and yellow

[crystal field]

should be

another reason erosion sucks

💔

[white zodiac]

starting deck:3

[unreal island]

Beat neb white without opening any planey packs

I hate this deck

[pale wolf]

any more guesses

[crystal field]

we alr did smiley jj and cloud9

[unreal island]

C9 on the right, smiley on left

[crystal field]

is that correct

[pale wolf]

ding

[crystal field]

🙏

[unreal island]

Omfg flash card the goat

[crystal field]

card that flashes you

[pale wolf]

i hadn't seen yours, wouldve replied with the results image

[royal bobcat]

chat im nubbing it

and by it, ahah, i mean my cheese

[hasty harness]

u should do some

but negative versions

[crystal field]

soz i should havw pinged

[hasty harness]

i feel like that'd be a lot harder

[pale wolf]

good idea

[crystal field]

negatives 🎞️

[pale wolf]

if the edition effect doesnt give it away

[crystal field]

when i typed negatives this emoji came on my ifone

[hasty harness]

lol

[crystal field]

🎞️

[pale wolf]

the gradient sometimes is more granular than the sprite

[woeful dome]

weakest ghost deck run

[hasty harness]

love ghost deck

[woeful dome]

tbf, I found money skip tag on small blund, eternal mail in rebate which I polycromed, and eternal arrow head with polycrome both on shop 1

[woeful dome]

I'd say it's my fav deck

[jagged cliff]

Ghost deck is peak

Who doesn't love good deck fixing in the shop

[pale wolf]

if there could only be one deck in the game I would choose ghost deck tho it's not my favorite to play

it just seems like the most balatro

[jagged cliff]

100%

[hasty harness]

its wacky and fun

ankh go brrrr

[jagged cliff]

It also makes it easier to get fricking ecto and deja vu 😭
I keep getting bad spectral packs 90% of the time

[rugged bloom]

Just barely beat Purp Stake on Red Deck

[pale wolf]

I love when all of my planet packs have the planet I want in them

ive had runs where the first 10 planet packs hit good

[jagged cliff]

Those runs are a blessing

[hasty harness]

then you'll have runs with like 2 celestial packs by ante 4 and none had planets u want

💔

[woeful dome]

nice score lol

[pale wolf]

I would rather have no planet packs than planet packs that never hit

[woeful dome]

what is your 4th joker?

[pale wolf]

I can't waste my money on no planet packs

[rugged bloom]

I don't see anything special

Cartomancer goes right

[rugged bloom]

Bloodstone

[woeful dome]

nice

[hasty harness]

real question is why do u have bloodstone and baron in the same build

[rugged bloom]

There's a reason I haven't gotten C+

[hasty harness]

lol

ur good dw

[rugged bloom]

I'm building spare kings while running a heterosexual build

so does bloodstone go

or cartomancer

cuz i still have some mild deckfixing left

[hasty harness]

show ur deck rq

and ur levels

[rugged bloom]

That's an awfully personal question

🤨

[hasty harness]

evil low res egg is gonna get u

[rose wolf]

this kid in my math class likes balatro apparently, his favorite joker is baron

[hasty harness]

ngl before u do baron u probably want a bit more high card lvs

[pale wolf]

and ur here to learn about it to find your way into his heart ❤️ so sweet

[rugged bloom]

Baron was bought in Ante 3 btw when I had only 5 kings

But yes, Point taken

[hasty harness]

speculative baron is certainly a choice lol

[rose wolf]

...I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS

[rugged bloom]

Always bet on the Speculative Baron 🗣️ 🔥‼️

(Guy who's never beatn Gold Stake Plasma-less)

[pale wolf]

taking it slow is very valid its scary

[hasty harness]

so you guys met 3 months ago!

congrats

[rugged bloom]

Is this about Balatro anymore?

Oh nevermind I'm stupid as hell

Ignore me

[hasty harness]

anyway id just take cardo

out

[pale wolf]

it starts with balatro

[hasty harness]

back

and murder it

u can deck fix other ways
