[barren wigeon]

wait what

[honest dawn]

For me, it's well-rated; it's very good to always have a hand size available.

[barren wigeon]

am i dumb and stupid

[lyric shore]

he made +/- 2

[barren wigeon]

i also just dont watch jerma

[terse dock]

All roads lead to jeremy

[cloud sinew]

it comes from this stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjjR1to55hs

[honest dawn]

For me, the second best value after more than one hand is the hand size one.

[terse dock]

Scout? Jeremy.
House Flipper? Jeremy.
Northernlion bits? Jeremy.

[bleak atlas]

i did not hit the bean

[honest dawn]

Bean is very good, I think.

I've seen it

[barren wigeon]

yeah i thought that was just an NL thing

[honest dawn]

But he's a better doctor even though he lost the league

[lime patrol]

How do I make sure my + cards trigger before my photochad?

[honest dawn]

Except that Bean is probably the best in multiplayer

[cloud sinew]

every NL bit is a Jerma bit, Jerma is the Family Guy of streaming

[barren wigeon]

do you hate jerma

[terse dock]

Jerma is the Rome of bit knowledge

[cloud sinew]

you cant

[cloud sinew]

I love Jerma

[barren wigeon]

then why would you compare him to family guy

[terse dock]

because family guy is a cognitohazard and so is jerma

[white zodiac]

i like family guy when it’s restricted to shitpost instagram reels

[cloud sinew]

every joke has been done by Family Guy

if there's a joke, it's in Family Guy

Family Guy is the library of babel of jokes

[fiery nymph]

lucky cat is the best joker

[tranquil steppe]

Meow

[honest dawn]

Lucky cat needs gambling

Anything that requires luck is either the best or the worst

But at x2 you'll get at least that much.

[fiery nymph]

but you forget that dice exist

[tranquil steppe]

Lucky cat with Chad is a fun combo

[fiery nymph]

i won a run with photochad, blueprint, cat and sixes

today

[pale wolf]

it feels like every single time I see lucky cat he's rental

[honest dawn]

You don't roll a die in every game.

[fiery nymph]

it was amazing

[honest dawn]

In some cases yes, and in others no

If you roll the dice, it's probably the best xmulti game, excluding legendaries.

[white zodiac]

i see cat when my run is already settled

[pale wolf]

this too

[tranquil steppe]

I had a similar run minus bp and 6s

[cloud sinew]

chance based effects aren't that polarising in my opinion, it's only if the chance based effect matters for every hand (like with Bloodstone).

[tranquil steppe]

Is it just me or is glass joker rarer than legendaries

[pale wolf]

except Misprint is still fine

[cloud sinew]

you don't take glass enough then

[fiery nymph]

real

[tranquil steppe]

Wym? I love making my cards glass

[fiery nymph]

btw when i have blueprint in photochad what do i copy?

to score higher

[pale wolf]

photo

[honest dawn]

It's possible, the one that raises your planet levels is very good if you play a consistent hand.

[fiery nymph]

thanks

[vocal rose]

photograph

[honest dawn]

Lucky cat at x2 minimum you get

[pale wolf]

thanks

[white zodiac]

yw

[vocal rose]

no

[honest dawn]

I mean, they're good. But with dice, they're better than the rare ones, literally.

[vocal rose]

yes

[fiery nymph]

your welcome

[cloud sinew]

if you find glass joker less often than the legendaries then I don't think you take glass cards as much as you should

[vocal rose]

what jokers

[fiery nymph]

cat with dice the best xmult scaler i think?

[tranquil steppe]

I’m just saying I’ve seen glass maybeeeeee 3-4 times ever

[pale wolf]

is glass joker with oops better than the order

[vocal rose]

it’s pretty good

[white zodiac]

riveting question

[tranquil oyster]

glass joker feels so awkward to use since it's a scaling joker you tend to see in later antes, with the scaling being very inconsistent.

[vocal rose]

not the best though

[pale wolf]

ai generated question vibes

[cloud sinew]

I believe so, yes

I already think glass joker is better than The Order

[white zodiac]

we got one

[lime patrol]

Any joker types to make this deck more scalable? I actually thought I was at ante 8.

My issue is that none of my +es agree with photochad.

[fiery nymph]

i only find glass joker on ante 9 anyways

[pale wolf]

is misprint with oops better than rough gem?

[lime patrol]

and I'm not specifically focusing on one hand type

[cloud sinew]

misprint is better than rough gem imo, so yeah

[honest dawn]

It could be, it's between lucky cat+dice, canio+pareidolia or yorick+Andy the cheerful (if there is a name wrong it's because I use the translator and just in case I'm going to repeat it)

[lime patrol]

I want high card, but it looks more like I'm doing pair/flush/straight.

[indigo laurel]

didnt do math and sold a potential run ❤️

[pale wolf]

is showman with Yorick better than obelisk?

[devout stirrup]

what an insane shop wth?

right next to eachother

[honest dawn]

I would say the best climber xmult is canio + pareidolia

[cloud sinew]

how many runs / hours have you played

[fiery nymph]

yea thats about right

[honest dawn]

Mime

[vocal rose]

it’s not a pipe dream to get at the minimum two glass cards and the x mult you get from it makes up for it definitely

[tranquil oyster]

kinda anti-synergistic. you use strength to buff one joker & nerf the other joker as the result

[vocal rose]

.75x scaling is cracked

[pale wolf]

by the way I'm not just trolling, this methodology is how you figure out support Jokers

[tranquil steppe]

I’d have to check. 500+?

[cloud sinew]

runs or hours

[white zodiac]

or so the ai tells you

[cloud sinew]

oh thats

[honest dawn]

At first it's a good synergy because you have multi and xmulti

[cloud sinew]

i get you nvm i understand

[honest dawn]

Then it's terrible

[devout stirrup]

yeah but its also positive synergy +mult before timesmult if u reorder them i nhand

[fiery nymph]

i just like how lucky cat doesnt have a certain hand or run it has to go with

you can just

[swift tundra]

idk how you see how many runs you've done

[honest dawn]

I already made an Orange stake in a yellow deck on the account I started three days ago

[tranquil steppe]

Looks like it’s 260+ hrs

[pale wolf]

You can only see how many wins in the game

[tranquil steppe]

Yea 72 wins for me

[swift tundra]

I started a new profile two days ago and have gold staked the first two decks playing in the evening

[cloud sinew]

you can use balatrostats / balatro.shorty.systems to see how many runs total (wins+losses) on android and desktop

[white zodiac]

if on mobile yeah

[pale wolf]

thanks

[white zodiac]

ios*

[glad sequoia]

Pain

[bleak atlas]

i set my high score with flush 5 glass red seal, sock, tribulet, dusk, blueprint, brainstorm… was fun until i got plant’d

wait i lied cuz there was an idol there somewhere

[pale wolf]

I meant in game

[honest dawn]

As an average Latin American, I don't have a PC, so I have to settle for the Android version.

[pale wolf]

touch screen has the superior control scheme anyways

[glad sequoia]

I love the Android version

[white zodiac]

yeah that’s what i meant

[tranquil steppe]

Nice. What’s your high score

[cloud sinew]

If you're on Android then you can use "Google Takeout" and export your "Play Games" data to export your Balatro save file

[white zodiac]

minus a couple quirky bugs
and we still play slow

[pale wolf]

I play slow anyways

[bleak atlas]

1.906e26

[honest dawn]

Ok

[cloud sinew]

The best change I made when streaking was playing slower

[tranquil steppe]

Very nice!

[white zodiac]

i play slower the higher my streak is

or if i’m playing one of the two sinister decks

[pale wolf]

Mobile is a competitive advantage because it makes you play more carefully /s

[honest dawn]

When you play slowly, you think better.

It's that simple

[pale wolf]

checkered and nebula of course

[tranquil steppe]

Full speed dead ahead

[glad sequoia]

Rip. 9.5X madness though

[honest dawn]

Managing the economy well is also important

[tranquil steppe]

Pshhhh you don’t need no stinkin coinz

[devout stirrup]

cant find the file for the life of me gg

[swift tundra]

spend all money in every shop

unless bull or boot

[lime patrol]

what do you mean by this ❤️

[swift tundra]

I love it when Acorn has no effect whatsoever on your board

[lime patrol]

photochad out of order could destroy me though

[heady narwhal]

it means that they take all of your jokers and give you 6 random ones

[fiery nymph]

how?

[cloud sinew]

the 1/300 run where acorn actually matters is horrifying

[lime patrol]

photochad - i need the multiple x2's

my deck is NOT hitting 😭

[swift tundra]

Just set game speed to 1 and figure out where the jokers are on first hand

[heady narwhal]

amber acorn if it sucked: all cards are drawn face down

[cloud sinew]

photochad doesnt get "out of order" wdym

[fiery nymph]

if you have more than one blueprint/brainstorm its kinda bad but honestly if you have that much copy jokers i dont think it matters

[cloud sinew]

you have no on-score +mults

[cloud sinew]

if you have multiple +mults and xmults then acorn is detrimental

[heady narwhal]

if this didn't murder straights i would like it i think

[willow frost]

dw with your current build it doesnt change anything

[fiery nymph]

my first ever problem with amber was in an ancient joker run

[cloud sinew]

you can check the collection to see what Ancient is on

[willow frost]

just stay chill and meet the score requirement

[fiery nymph]

but i realized looking collection solves that

yeah

[devout stirrup]

i did it wahoo

[cloud sinew]

I don't think you should be able to see stuff like that in the collection, i think it should remain as the default value

[prime valve]

Free boss blind 🥳

[willow frost]

nice

[devout stirrup]

yoooooooooooo balatro millionare

[cloud sinew]

the game doesnt count holding R as a loss besides for your winstreak btw

[devout stirrup]

i dont hold r

[civic sierra]

my highest jokerless score ever

[devout stirrup]

i manually restart

[civic sierra]

(run died next blind)

[devout stirrup]

i do manual restart every tim

[cloud sinew]

I'm just letting you know, not accusing you of anything

[willow frost]

insane lol

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt count either

the only way it counts as a loss is if you see the loss screen

[devout stirrup]

tbf i dont do it ofte

i usually play to get highest score even if im dead 100%

[fiery nymph]

i restart too much honestly

[cloud sinew]

thunk should make restarting count as a loss in 1.1

unless you're in Endless ofc

[white zodiac]

does it register stake specific streaks

[low sorrel]

I dont think ive gotten that score with jokers

[devout stirrup]

hand stats page is crazy lowkey

[cloud sinew]

it tracks stake specific wins but it does not track stakes with regard to streaks no

[cloud sinew]

high card more than 2x above pair... someone plays endless a lot

[white zodiac]

darn ok

[civic sierra]

glass is cracked

[devout stirrup]

if im not playing to winstreak gold stake i do go into endless ye

[low sorrel]

How did you manage that?

[devout stirrup]

900 hours

[willow frost]

cryptid type shit

[devout stirrup]

150 in endless 750 in gold stake prob

[civic sierra]

where do you see this? i assume this is all time records

[pale wolf]

That leaves 100 hours

[devout stirrup]

hand stats

[devout stirrup]

thats 900

[low sorrel]

Thats crazy, you should be advertising the game

[willow frost]

only a quarter of the time

[fiery nymph]

i did a baron run with pairs today 🥀

[pale wolf]

oh whoops

[devout stirrup]

i do all the time ive gotten maybe 10+ ppl to buy it im balatrosalesmen#1

love this game sm

balatro#1fan

[willow frost]

ive gotten 5 of my friends to play, another one was already playing maybe before me lol

[civic sierra]

interesting

[devout stirrup]

lowkey 100k unspent is crazy

[fiery nymph]

i could never play that many flushes

[devout stirrup]

what am i doing saving for retirement

[willow frost]

that would be nice

[fervent wolf]

Easy

[devout stirrup]

yo what kind of crack am i smoking on blue deck wth

[cloud sinew]

overstock is called overstock_norm in your profile.jkr lol

[cloud sinew]

blue deck is goated

the best deck having the highest winrate is unsurprising

[devout stirrup]

yeah but thats a wide margin

LOL

[cloud sinew]

magic deck isnt even top 5 imo so eh

[white zodiac]

can confirm, zebra is blue pilled

[cloud sinew]

it's expected

[white zodiac]

yeah

it’s like

in the good middle

[devout stirrup]

i have like 20 games on it tbh

i dont play magic

[tranquil steppe]

I’m working on gold for it right now

[unborn cliff]

its top 12 probably

[pale wolf]

wut

[devout stirrup]

oh well that was fun im gonna g oplay some black deck

and suffer

ty for showing site

[unborn cliff]

me when i hate myself

[devout stirrup]

im just feeling like some baseball card dopamine

[tranquil steppe]

Enjoy the pain comrade

[lunar zealot]

i WILL get vagabond this run

[unborn cliff]

hopioids

[devout stirrup]

wishing you a gift card aswell for the temperanc value

[robust lance]

No you won’t

[pale wolf]

just realized I suck at balatro because i have bad temperance

[devout stirrup]

true, eggmaxxing and giftcard maxxing should be daily

[unborn cliff]

do i hold out for hermit or do i just take pair levels

[robust lance]

My eggs are spoiled though

[coral summit]

Astronomer, yay or nay

[tranquil steppe]

Pair bois

[devout stirrup]

pair levels if ur tryharding

imo

[tranquil steppe]

Have fun on magic

[unborn cliff]

im clearly not finding a hermit so i need to win

pairs it is

[white zodiac]

sure

[tranquil steppe]

Pairs go brrrrrr

[unborn cliff]

im probably gonna find a hermit next shop arent i

[keen vine]

Currently waiting on the animations of ante 39's road, somehow managed to get everything I needed despite the vouchers 🫠

[devout stirrup]

i think imma win this black deck run

somehow

[tacit quail]

investment tag and free shop double skip = these 2 jokers and seed money. this run surely wins

[white zodiac]

water moment

[tacit quail]

yeah

[robust lance]

Just drink it???

[devout stirrup]

holy blueprint judgement

god bless america

[unborn cliff]

fuck you

[minor portal]

fool for more pair levels

[pale wolf]

why do people even like midas mask it does literally nothing

[unborn cliff]

i used a different tarot already i fear

[tacit quail]

86 dollar ante 2 now to get some joker

[robust lance]

Jimbo balatro done it again

[lunar zealot]

Hello it's me John Balatro here with the new patch

We have deleted mail in rebate

[robust lance]

WHAT!!!

[devout stirrup]

black deck is easy just get early riffraff and blueprint judgement

[tacit quail]

peak didnt have to ancient

[swift tundra]

Sometimes I'll take it for prepping future econ early on if a better option isn't immediately available, then ditch it for something better shortly after

[robust lance]

Raised fist carry

[unborn cliff]

grim or black hole for pair level

[tacit quail]

do you see it

[tranquil steppe]

Lmao

[unborn cliff]

spend 1 dollar for me

[tacit quail]

pairs time i fucking guess but thats not very ancient

[pale wolf]

grim

[unborn cliff]

did it

[robust lance]

Go all in on ancient you goober

[pale wolf]

Black hole sucks

[unborn cliff]

i have 2 purple seals i really wish i could draw them

[cloud sinew]

telescope and burnt arent great for ancient

despite ancient relying on base mult a lot

[robust lance]

Ate them

[unborn cliff]

damnit

[tacit quail]

dude peak

[pale wolf]

I never thought about the card sharp obelisk anti-synergy

[robust lance]

Ion car 🚗 🚗 🚗

[coral summit]

What should I do here

[unborn cliff]

i now have 3 purple seals

[tacit quail]

i gota win so i can stake it

[tranquil steppe]

Burnt is fine for a bit, then it’s just taking up space

[cloud sinew]

burnt is very risky with ancient

[tranquil steppe]

Fair point

Good if you’re doing flush

[cloud sinew]

take gift card

[unborn cliff]

ankh astronomer

[tranquil steppe]

Is hitchhiker the best chip joker?

[cloud sinew]

packs cost money now

[unborn cliff]

what the hell, sure

[cloud sinew]

no

[unborn cliff]

CHICOT BABY

FOIL

RWOO HOO

[lunar zealot]

In a cosmic sense it's the only joker that does what it does specifically

to answer your question no

it's wee

[cloud sinew]

what

[unborn cliff]

i heckin love chicot

[civic sierra]

:(

[cloud sinew]

"does what it does specifically" your wording baffles me

[pale wolf]

rebate #1

[lunar zealot]

I'm being vague on purpose

[cloud sinew]

whats fortune teller at

and whats red at

i wanna know WHO DIES

[lunar zealot]

who lives who dies who tells your story

[pale wolf]

purple joker is like a quarter of what red card is

[tranquil steppe]

Always kill red

[lunar zealot]

you need one more xmult joker to beat vv

[terse dock]

Its the only joker thats conditional based on your deck drawing order

[pale wolf]

okay I said this just based on gut but I'm completely wrong

[cloud sinew]

the joker isnt conditional on that at all

[pale wolf]

purple is at 24 and red is 57

[tranquil steppe]

How is red at 57?

[unborn cliff]

so sly goes here right

[tacit quail]

not really the time for this synergy but fucking sure

[pale wolf]

being good at the game

[terse dock]

yeah it is

[cloud sinew]

by skipping 19 packs

[terse dock]

you need to draw cards

[tranquil steppe]

19 packs in 7 antes?

[cloud sinew]

you need to score cards, you dont need to score specific cards

[cloud sinew]

yes...?

[pale wolf]

in 18 rounds

[cloud sinew]

most packs are worse than +3 mult

[terse dock]

All cards are specific cards

[pale wolf]

How about you put it like that

[heady steeple]

if I wasn’t on plasma, I would be—well, not thrilled, but I could make it work—about having these three as my starting jokers. However, this is a Plasma run so AAAAAAAAA

[tranquil steppe]

42 packs nvm

I mathed wrong derp

Carry on

[pale wolf]

what

[cloud sinew]

this is goated on plasma wdym, youre setting up the xmult pivot AND it doesnt take up a joker slot

[tranquil steppe]

2x7x3

[unborn cliff]

just had to skip an obelisk because all my flat mult is from supernova 💔

[latent egret]

NOOOµ

[unborn cliff]

pains me very hard

[tranquil steppe]

2 packs per shop, 3 rounds per ante, 7 antes

[latent egret]

the only bad flat mult

[fervent wolf]

I saw a nat negative one a few weeks ago! It's a great site, and it's a cool negative

[terse dock]

yall fw bbc

[latent egret]

supernova is my arch nemesis

[latent egret]

depends if we're talking balatro

if yes, yes

[cloud sinew]

we are, we're in the balatro discord in #🕹・game-discussion

[terse dock]

:3

[tranquil steppe]

So you’re not done ante 7, or you skipped

[latent egret]

if only the channel was only used for that

[fervent wolf]

I still fumbled this

[terse dock]

hex the obelisk

[fiery nymph]

negative obby 🤤

[latent egret]

hellllll nawwwwww

[unborn cliff]

ankh in the overstock

[tranquil steppe]

See

[cloud sinew]

it should be, that's why #🃏・off-topic and such exist

[heady steeple]

I like doing chips shenanigans on Plasma tbh. I know you can play it with Xmult but this is still like my three most stressful jokers at once. If the next shop has a Bus I don’t know whether I’d laugh or cry

[fervent wolf]

I got ankh, died at the mouth

[unborn cliff]

noob

[cloud sinew]

that very same shop has a bus wdym

[heady steeple]

oh god.

I didnt see that

fuck it, anxiety build, we ball

[tacit quail]

yay

[pale wolf]

Acrobat literally sucks

why would anybody take it

[tacit quail]

skip time and i am going to gold stake this invisible joker and joker

[terse dock]

would the anxiety build be madness

[unborn cliff]

pro

[pale wolf]

vagabond madness

and rough gem

[tacit quail]

guys: can i afford to lose brainstorm here and still win ?

yes right

[fervent wolf]

This was the real madness

[tranquil steppe]

Lies

[tacit quail]

unless violet i guess not but hopefully not

[pale wolf]

look at my situation

[unborn cliff]

worst legendary by the way

[cloud sinew]

not the worst legendary

[unborn cliff]

poking fun

[cloud sinew]

pok... poker...?

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[tacit quail]

guys. i scored 8 mill with my previous hand. boss blind is 400k or whatever. can i gold stake one of these and get away with it (in exchange for brainstorm which is doing x8 right now i think

[unborn cliff]

poker? i barely know her!

[kindred flower]

W CHICOT ❤️‍🩹

[tranquil steppe]

I did. Replace juggler with it for the dub

[hasty harness]

if u have high enough pair or high card

[tacit quail]

its flush

[hasty harness]

u could probably win with just chad

and photo

[hasty harness]

hm

[pale wolf]

I'll die

[tranquil steppe]

How

[tacit quail]

i win here

[pale wolf]

be forced to play a high card and reset obelisk

[hasty harness]

u could probably

get rid of brainstorm

[tranquil steppe]

You literally get x3 on your last hand

[hasty harness]

and live

[kindred flower]

looks inside once again

[pale wolf]

yeah but I have to spend all my hands to get there which is pretty hard to do without juggler and resetting obelisk

[tacit quail]

gold stake on faceless, invis and regular ol jimbo 🐐 and ancient

[pale wolf]

I would end up having to skip rounds

[cloud sinew]

more score isnt necessarily better than hand consistency here

[pale wolf]

genuinely it would be better if I had fewer hands

[tranquil steppe]

If you’re in a pinch and need an x mult to keep going, it’s your best hope

[pale wolf]

oh there's also the fact that I am handily winning

[tranquil steppe]

But yea can’t reset obelisk

Oh then you’re fine silly goose

[tacit quail]

this is such a silly joker to gold

complete nonsense over here

[pale wolf]

I would accepted a score increase but I already skipped past card sharp and acrobat now because of obelisk

obelisk is more restrictive than some of these people would make it seem

[devout stirrup]

played through black deck to NOT find baseball card after forcing uncommo njokers

god hates me

[tranquil steppe]

Yea people make obelisk out to be a GOAT

[tacit quail]

obelisk makes you focus everything on run

its kinda eh

[devout stirrup]

whatd i do

[cloud sinew]

blackboard isnt proccing here btw

[tranquil steppe]

obelisk takes way too long to set up properly

[cloud sinew]

because of the stone card

[pale wolf]

played through black deck to NOT find baseball card after forcing uncommo njokers

[devout stirrup]

why not?

[tranquil steppe]

Can someone tell me why matador doesn’t work on serpent?

[devout stirrup]

oh stones dont count

huh interesting

[white zodiac]

shame

[devout stirrup]

but i wanted it:(

[pale wolf]

blackboard says exactly what it does

[cloud sinew]

blackboard checks if the # of spades/clubs in hand = the number of cards in hand
stones arent spades/clubs, so blackboard doesnt work

[shell dagger]

alas with x17.75^2 it probably doesn’t matter

[cloud sinew]

which is why having 0 cards procs blackboard

[white zodiac]

maybe that's why bbc and abstract is so high on my used list

[cloud sinew]

0 = 0

[devout stirrup]

tthats why i love this game i learn something new everyday

[tranquil steppe]

Abstract is great early on

[tepid perch]

I hate low contrast cards
Brother, these are not clubs

[terse dock]

Those are indeed clubs

[plucky shuttle]

looks like the club symbol to me

[civic sierra]

BRO, 1.5k off score again

fml

[devout stirrup]

chat is my deck big enough .... i swear its average

[civic sierra]

If half the game isn't the animation of putting it back and pulling it out, then no

[devout stirrup]

jesus christ LOL

[plucky shuttle]

worth af

[shell dagger]

yum

[devout stirrup]

i didnt take it im lowkey stupid its a 10x

[fiery nymph]

whats that joker that synergies perfectly with stone joker

[barren wigeon]

the one time stone jimbo has been usable

[barren wigeon]

marble joker

[devout stirrup]

i have had marble + bp since ante 3

[fiery nymph]

right

yeah

[devout stirrup]

stonewall

[civic sierra]

the power of egg

[fiery nymph]

would playing 5 stone cards be viable

ever

[devout stirrup]

21x holagram

[fiery nymph]

word

[plucky shuttle]

250 chips worth of a high card

[pale wolf]

at least you're thinking about it in the right way

[devout stirrup]

bro where is my BASEBALL CARD

[cloud sinew]

yes

[pale wolf]

this girl needs her BBC

[devout stirrup]

no seriously

[cloud sinew]

im very glad that people started saying bb and bbc instead of both being "bb"

[devout stirrup]

im gonna continue on black deck

till i get it

if im here all night

[pale wolf]

I call blackboard blba

[white zodiac]

no you dont

gthoh

[pale wolf]

true

[devout stirrup]

i once saw someone in here say to not bother leveling hands past 8 because its not worth it and i think about that sometimes, the level of confidence in such absurd misinfo

and like 5 ppl took it as fact immediately

[simple jacinth]

I just like the silly card game

[safe moat]

You know this is devious

[devout stirrup]

and im deadge:(

[shell dagger]

we need to name and shame

[simple jacinth]

I should get back on going for C++ on mobile

[devout stirrup]

was ages ago

[devout stirrup]

there are some rly bad takes in here

[simple jacinth]

I got sucked into some discord game that was basically all about going for endless and fell out of love with it for a bit

[pulsar oar]

Are you doing the infinite joker setup thingy

[safe moat]

No

[devout stirrup]

once someone got into ti with me about 8 ball for 30m and then asked for my best winstreak and then blocked me when it wasnt low

[cloud sinew]

real!

i hate when people take me seriously just because i say it deadpan 😭

"wait really?" "no"

[devout stirrup]

ok if i get 2 wins on black deck in a row everyone gets a cookie

[safe moat]

I’m trying to see if you can force soul cards

[heady steeple]

WTF is this

[pulsar oar]

Sadly no

It's not part of the regular tarot pool

[pale wolf]

yeah it's not in the queue

[pulsar oar]

If you have every tarot held you'll only get strengths

[tranquil cargo]

that's why you hold almost every tarot card

[pulsar oar]

Which could still be helpful don't get me wrong

But still

[pale wolf]

It's kind of funny how ineffective changing the default tarot card was for looping bane

[tranquil cargo]

if you have all except 2, you use emperor to get the other 2, then fool to get back emperor, then the one you want to loop, and repeat the process

[heady steeple]

doesn’t omen globe boost soul rates? Technically

[cloud sinew]

no

[pale wolf]

it actually technically decreases

[cloud sinew]

was this proven

[pale wolf]

because it allows the very very slight possibility of black hole overriding soul in the arcata

[pulsar oar]

Soul is always a .3% of appearing in an arcana pack

Same goes for black hole in celestials

[pale wolf]

I'm pretty sure it's just from looking at the code, nobody's seen it in game

[pulsar oar]

That can happen?

[heady steeple]

assuming you also held every spectral except black hole and soul, it really should double the odds.

[pale wolf]

yep

[pulsar oar]

It will just spawn incantations

[cloud sinew]

people think it can

[pale wolf]

there wasn't any reason it couldn't

[heady steeple]

I know. I’m busy griping, don’t interrupt me

[warped wave]

could I get some help here?

[pale wolf]

The code for determining black hole came after the code for determining soul, and there wasn't any check to see if the card that it picked was already picked by something else

[safe moat]

It’s still interesting that localthunk thought of this

[pulsar oar]

Yeah there's always a default for every category of card in case you have one of each

[tacit quail]

well something has to be default

[pale wolf]

The default could be nothing

no result

[heady steeple]

imagine pulling Jimbo’s from a tarot pack

[tacit quail]

inefective

[safe moat]

AND THEN SOUL CARDS SPAWN

[pulsar oar]

Jokers: Jimbo
Tarots: Strength
Planets: Pluto
Spectrals: Incantation

[pale wolf]

still not how it works

[tranquil cargo]

if the default were nothing, there'd be game crashes

[safe moat]

I’m aware, but

[pulsar oar]

Defaults are failsafes

[pale wolf]

what why

[heady steeple]

we should make them all be Jimbo

[robust lance]

"yeah i expected the plant in this ante"
the ever so conveient reroll boss blind

[pale wolf]

why can't the game just have empty slots where the default would normally be

[tranquil cargo]

attempt to index a nil result, or something along those lines

[pulsar oar]

It would try to spawn something from, say, the tarot pool, and find NOTHING available

[pale wolf]

obviously it would be a fake blank but it would still be blank

[heady steeple]

nil.

[safe moat]

It would be cool if the effort of blocking every tarot would be rewarded

[tacit quail]

empty isnt a card

thats how it is

[tranquil steppe]

He goes by Gary

[tacit quail]

taunting

[heady steeple]

not a fake blank. They count towards the antimatter unlock requirement if you’re insane enough to do it that way

[pale wolf]

no I mean literally the default could be a placeholder that takes up the same item slot that the tarot normally would or whatever card is supposed to be there

and you just can't interact with it

[tacit quail]

might pairs run and use this as econ and gold stake it

[devout stirrup]

i died i didnt draw a single club with 7 left in 20 cards LOL

[pulsar oar]

That seems harder to code than just

[pale wolf]

It's not hard to code, it's just an extra item with special properties

[pulsar oar]

Something along the likes of if return nil then spawn strength for example

Idk shit about code

[heady steeple]

that seems unfun. I’ve played a mod that had an effect nearly that bad

[coral summit]

Literally how does it not pull more hearts cards

How

[safe moat]

What?

[pulsar oar]

That's chance for you

[pale wolf]

You're not finding default cards in normal gameplay anyways

[devout stirrup]

so many qol mods exist for this game that im 2 stupid to install

life is pain

[coral summit]

???? Why did the picture change to that

[pulsar oar]

Use Balatro mod manager

[devout stirrup]

what now

[cloud sinew]

with planets its pretty reasonable

[pulsar oar]

App that, well, manages mods

[devout stirrup]

is it idiot proof

[pulsar oar]

It's literally just an installer from the original GitHub pages

[cursive prairie]

sunset

[pulsar oar]

Yes you click some buttons and it's done

[cloud sinew]

can you take this convo to #⚙・modding-general

[devout stirrup]

i grew up on mac so anything on windows is so foreign to me its like wizzards

[pale wolf]

I suppose if you really try to

[pulsar oar]

Right my bad

[cursive prairie]

muy mal

[devout stirrup]

man i aske a question and got a 1 line response its over now no reason to move it 😭

[cloud sinew]

ive done it without trying to; 3 slots for planets, 2 shop slots and opening a jumbo

that's 10 cards with 9 in the pool without secret hands

[tranquil steppe]

Shame

[pale wolf]

and do you think that just having a placeholder would really affect the situation

[pulsar oar]

I mean I don't have much to add anyways so

[pulsar oar]

The defaults ARE the placeholders

[robust lance]

"all in on black" ass stack effect

[cloud sinew]

no? im just saying that's a situation where i wasnt trying to and found the default card

[cursive prairie]

boriiing

[pale wolf]

yeah I know, the initial statement was that you have to have a default, as if the default had to be a functional item

but the default could literally just be functionally nothing

[cloud sinew]

packs don't have a default tbf so this is true

[cursive prairie]

lilo

y stitch

[cloud sinew]

the game just crashes

[robust lance]

what isnt boring is this (probably)

[pale wolf]

they should have a placeholder as well

it seems like an obvious solution to me I don't know

[cloud sinew]

they don't, the game just crashes

[safe moat]

Wait you found default planet?

[cloud sinew]

#⚙・modding-general

[tranquil steppe]

MEESHAQUESHKAAAAAAAAA

[pale wolf]

no like, not that's how the game is supposed to work but that's how the game should have been made

[cloud sinew]

ah okay

[robust lance]

sshhhh i only got 2 installed i basically am vanilla

[tranquil steppe]

I’m vanilla baby

[cloud sinew]

you are explicitly showing modded content

LOCALTHUNK, MAKE EPIC JOKERS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[cursive prairie]

do u know who is

tito calderon

[cloud sinew]

i know who teto is but not tito calderon

[safe moat]

I think we need at least one more legendary

[cursive prairie]

tego

[cursive prairie]

search tito calderon

in google

[lunar zealot]

Just play cryptid

[cursive prairie]

please

[tranquil steppe]

But never stitch. Bigly sadge

[lunar zealot]

Stitch died in nam

[fading cobalt]

Yeah let me install cryptid onto my ps5

[cursive prairie]

lilo y stitch

tito calderon torre eiffel

[tranquil steppe]

Stitch was a commie?

[fading cobalt]

Not to mention most epics on cryptid are just insanely busted

[lunar zealot]

No stitch fought for his country the

[pale wolf]

ohana means kaiju

[lunar zealot]

"united states"

[cursive prairie]

wtf is kaiju

[lunar zealot]

isn't he a native hawaiian

[tranquil steppe]

Oh snap. But WHICH country

[cursive prairie]

ohana significa familia

[fading cobalt]

Ew

[lunar zealot]

why did he fight in nam

[tranquil steppe]

He’s an alien

[cloud sinew]

can we keep it balatro

[pale wolf]

if lilo and stitch had been on that real shit, they wouldve restarted the hawaiian empire (idol)

[lunar zealot]

Rate my stats

[cloud sinew]

Idol would be goated if it

[cursive prairie]

lilo

[tranquil steppe]

Okay. What 5 joker setup would stitch use?

[safe moat]

Stop relying on photo Chad

[pale wolf]

was a scene from lilo and stitch instead

[cursive prairie]

search "tito calderon torre eiffel"

please

[lunar zealot]

i haven't used photochad in decades

[jovial plinth]

Insane start

[cloud sinew]

I am not going to do that

[swift tundra]

How the heck is blueprint so high? How are you consistently pulling blueprint that often, more so than commons?

[cursive prairie]

why

[safe moat]

Stats say otherwise

[cursive prairie]

tito calderon

is

the goat

[lunar zealot]

Idk

[tranquil steppe]

Kami created balatro confirmed

[pale wolf]

Blue Joker blueprint space Joker ramen and maybe faceless

[lunar zealot]

Yes i am john balatro

[tranquil steppe]

Ooooo. No idol or ice cream?

[tranquil steppe]

Plot twist

[lunar zealot]

#nooticing there are no bbw jokers

[tranquil steppe]

Actually stitch likes blue punch buggies so he’d probs love bus

[pale wolf]

jen joker is 6 foot

[lavish compass]

do kings strength into aces?

[pale wolf]

yep

[lavish compass]

ok ty

[pale wolf]

and Ace into twos

[lavish compass]

yea i know that thanks

[lunar zealot]

Im bored what deck should i play

[pale wolf]

and 2s into 3s

[lunar zealot]

do NOT say magic

[pale wolf]

jkjk

[pale wolf]

green

[lunar zealot]

Nice

[swift tundra]

the circle of strength

[warped wave]

0 rng whatsoever

[pale wolf]

Don't die

[lunar zealot]

photo doesn't do much here

Chad however does

[devout stirrup]

"relying on" its a single player game with the object of winning

[lunar zealot]

im inclined to sell it and find el chad

[swift tundra]

Riff raff catching the ride of his life

[pale wolf]

You would be better off finding Chad first and then selling it

[lunar zealot]

you do not need to defend me

[safe moat]

Need better ways to work around things my friend

[cloud sinew]

you can definitely be reliant on stuff to win when you otherwise wouldn't be if you were playing "optimally"

[devout stirrup]

nah but its like if its THERE why not use it

its very strong

[lunar zealot]

i know im hot

but come on

[pale wolf]

I mean that stat screen doesn't scream relying on photo chad anyways

[lunar zealot]

brainstorm suspiciously absent from my stats screen

[devout stirrup]

i mean im a huge bus + square enthusiast but i still use photochad hella, chad is just a solid joker for many reasons and if you already have it photo is a great pickup

[lunar zealot]

#nooticing

[devout stirrup]

i pretty much only pickup photo chad when i already have a chad for other reasons

[cloud sinew]

egg that high is very interesting

[lunar zealot]

Arrived

[pale wolf]

Omelette truly fucked me

[cloud sinew]

how long did it take you to beat omelette omg

[devout stirrup]

HOLY BASED EGG

[crystal zodiac]

i installed lovely right, because that second window pops up when i launch the game, i also tried installing the steam mod and multiplayer mod, however there is no mode button when i open the game

what did i do wrong?

[pale wolf]

I think omelette probably gave me like 300 rounds of egg

[cloud sinew]

even if you kept 5 eggs for 24 rounds youd still only have egg at +120

[devout stirrup]

yes this looks like im a whitestake enjoyer but i checked and even on gold stake theyre all there except dna

[pale wolf]

it was literally the first challenge so I thought I should beat it

and then it was so weird from the rest of the game at that point that I had to unlocked

[cloud sinew]

omelette gave me like 90 at most cause i just sell out of eggs for econ as soon as possible basically

[pale wolf]

I mean now it would give me like 50

[devout stirrup]

oh not based egg enjoyer...

[pale wolf]

because I know how to play the game much better

[devout stirrup]

(egg and gift card best econ jokers)

[willow frost]

omelette gave me like 20 because i found swashbuckler instantly and never played it again

[pale wolf]

but yeah I very much like chad

[devout stirrup]

I first tried ommelete because i had ante 1/2 gift card + sac knife

[lunar zealot]

What the fuck

i can smell this screenshot

[devout stirrup]

i swear only like 1/8th of my time is white stake

[willow frost]

is that good or bad

[pale wolf]

bruh

stop taking baron

[hearty dagger]

Jacks right?

What is the higher scoring pair

[safe moat]

Doubt

[fading cobalt]

Stone cards pretty much have no rights 💔

[cloud sinew]

DNA and Baron in top 10 is an immediate endless/white-staker red flag

[pale wolf]

yea jacks

[devout stirrup]

counterpoint.

thats gold stake

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

is it?

[fading cobalt]

Where do you see that

[pale wolf]

yall play this game so fast got damn

[fading cobalt]

Modded?

[devout stirrup]

also yes i play into endless after beating ante 8, i play every build and obv baron builds go farther

so i have more antes on baron

[hearty dagger]

Is my joker order correct?

[pale wolf]

i struggle to play more than like 4 full runs a day if i have all free time

[cloud sinew]

is it?

[pale wolf]

I don't believe it is to be honest

[cloud sinew]

i dont either

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[fading cobalt]

Hello Lilo

[safe moat]

Lilo why haven’t you been invited to poker club?

[pale wolf]

Yes I believe so, just assuming on the values of hologram and swashbuckler and planet levels but it looks right

[safe moat]

Oh you have

[devout stirrup]

left right down are my gold stake jokres with number of total wins

[willow frost]

how do you have motivation to play after ante 8 lol

[cloud sinew]

I have?

[safe moat]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

what is poker club

[potent tree]

skong 👍

[devout stirrup]

baron drops to 14 and the dna isnt even there

[hearty dagger]

only level 2 pair but its clearing rn, hologram at 4.75x

[serene forge]

skong 👍

[potent tree]

you never know how far you can go until you try!

i've been to ante 12 a couple times today

[devout stirrup]

the way i enjoy playing this game is attempting to take things as far as i can no matter how dead i might seem

[serene forge]

endless is pointless

[jagged cliff]

😔

[cloud sinew]

it unlocks petroglyph

[devout stirrup]

the rush of picking up some insane odds thing by playing perfect and making it just a little further mmfg

[cloud sinew]

which lets you get to ante -1

[serene forge]

so true

[rough prairie]

I usually don't bother with endless most times

[vocal warren]

just got an ante 1 brainstorm

[fading cobalt]

Whats petroglyph req?

[cloud sinew]

ergo ante -1 is impossible without endless

[willow frost]

almost all of my gold stake runs wouldnt survive past ante 11

[cloud sinew]

ante 12

[devout stirrup]

judgement > 8 ball > single 8 played > justice > allows me to beat the plant TS

[fading cobalt]

Thought so

Couldn't remember

[pale wolf]

petroglyph is pretty fun

[rough prairie]

But that's mostly cause I'm chaing C+ right now

[willow frost]

i used to do that and then c++ grind happened and i lost all motivation to do more than i had to lol

[fading cobalt]

Thats alot of luck

[pale wolf]

I feel like it's not the correct play most of the time it appears tho?

[devout stirrup]

i just love htis game

[willow frost]

nice

[devout stirrup]

it was the only winning line

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad (-326)

[devout stirrup]

thats just what i enjoy, even if there is only 1 way to live ill find it and try for it

[pale wolf]

they even thought to bring a tarot card along, just not which one

[fading cobalt]

Suspiciously shaped cropped out the plant

[cursive prairie]

sell 1 joker to unlock the cards

[fading cobalt]

Not enough chads duh

[lunar zealot]

God r/balatro players are insufferable

[fading cobalt]

I hate face cards

[cloud sinew]

4 chads and a DNA and they lost to The Plant

[fading cobalt]

10s and aces are just better

[lunar zealot]

I don't think there's a single other roguelike community with this much people perfectly exhibiting the dunning kruger effect

[rough prairie]

i thought I was doomed to that once cause I only had eternals but turns out Hologram+Madness didn't care

[serene forge]

top mind of r/balatro discovers why skip tags are bad then goes apeshit over it

[hearty dagger]

I LOST TO ACORN NOOO

UIPsghldi fhgsbdfy

[fading cobalt]

Ace > 10 > Queen > Jack > King

[lunar zealot]

isaac? sts? hades?

[willow frost]

the analogy doesnt work either lol

[lunar zealot]

Good god

[cloud sinew]

every single roguelike

[lunar zealot]

Mayhaps

[serene forge]

sts community is good until you tell people that brimstone or something is garbage

[pale wolf]

the dunning krueger effect is prevalent among all society and ironically the pop culture interpretation of it is a caricature of itself

[swift jackal]

@civic palm desde cuandp estas aca

[lunar zealot]

i need to continue working on that video actually

I have to rerecord the first batch though LMAO

[heady narwhal]

i've played hades but i don't think i've seen much strategy discussion about it so idk if people are dunning kruegering about it

[serene forge]

cmon kami I didn't stay up til 4am for nothing

I know it's wrong, but I pronounce it ball-a-tro, as in "we ball"
