[shrewd pasture]

my only issue with hologram is that it's brain off gaming

[idle haven]

True

[shrewd pasture]

i guess that's the point

[idle haven]

hehehehebe hologram me love making number go high

Hey how come my deck has a bunch of random cards

[shrewd pasture]

erratic?

[idle haven]

No no its a joke

Play on hologram

[shrewd pasture]

ohhh

[idle haven]

When you grab a card from every standard pack yk

[restive plover]

copy photo with brainstorm

[idle haven]

🤤

[restive plover]

the difference is a Lot

[shrewd pasture]

yeah my deck ends up being like 90 cards

[idle haven]

Old run ts was like 3 weeks ago

[restive plover]

damn 😔

[idle haven]

I have so many balatro screenshots

[shrewd pasture]

lowkey

burnt joker might be an A tier joker if you see it early

[idle haven]

Yes

[restive plover]

wahoo getting those nebula deck stakes

never play this deck ever really

[idle haven]

Who even plays nebula deck honestly

Most unknown deck oat

[shrewd pasture]

if you have an okay early game nebula deck is pretty free

[bleak seal]

😭😭😭

I just got

Trib on abandoned

This is why I never play abandoned

[bleak seal]

I love nebula deck

Great for planet scaling

Lowkey one of the most FREE decks imo

[idle haven]

Yeah its why I don't like it

I need a challenge so I can throw my phone against the wall

[bleak seal]

Lost the run because I went into play 1 hand type, and my flush five was 1k short 😭😭😭

I had blueprint fib

I thought I'd be goooood

[bleak seal]

Ahh

[grave hamlet]

If you did another on photo you would have gotten a good bit more, no?

[idle haven]

I was mostly looking for idol

It never came

[grave hamlet]

Ik but I mean you probably got to st least e12 if you put another copy on photograph

[bleak seal]

Both on photo is like def better I think

2x > 1.5x

[idle haven]

Never got one

That's the issue

[grave hamlet]

Bro

[bleak seal]

You have blueprint and brainstorm

[grave hamlet]

The one you have in the screenshot

[bleak seal]

And one of your brainstorms

Is copying sock???

😭😭

[grave hamlet]

Blueprint and brainstorm the photo, the 2 socks do what they need

[idle haven]

Oh blueprint brainstorm yeah I tried that too dw

[grave hamlet]

It would have been like e12

[idle haven]

It was testing from the previous round

[grave hamlet]

Probably not enough to win but definitely a like 20x buff

[bleak seal]

Okay bro

[idle haven]

Idk i tried copying photo and allat and it did barely a difference

[grave hamlet]

It definitely would make large difference

[idle haven]

I wanted to make a new run anyways and I was gonna lose regardless so I just took my screenshots

[bleak seal]

I keep instinctively taking photo forgetting I'm on abandoned

[grave hamlet]

Wait no

1 copy on chad

1 on photo

That would have likely been enough to win

[idle haven]

No I tried it all

Trust

[grave hamlet]

I know for a fact you didn't if you copied sock at all😭

[idle haven]

I copied sock towards the end

I tried everything in previous rounds

It all got me to e11

[minor portal]

damn... the highest I've gotten to was 63 chips

[bleak seal]

Wow that's really good

[grave hamlet]

I hate getting such a good build with baron to just, not get mime

And be hard stuck in billions

[lyric shore]

need more money

[grave hamlet]

I had econ

Alot of it too

I was using mail in for the first 8 antes

[bleak seal]

Omg trueee

[grave hamlet]

And then all in on gold seal+ blueprint on hanging chad

So 15 gold at least per ante outside of end of round money

[frank crescent]

I got grabber on black deck does that just completely get rid of the -1 hand each round

[grave hamlet]

Nice, but then you'd have 5 on any other deck😭

[lyric shore]

p much

[bleak seal]

Nat negative dusk looks so good omg

[grave hamlet]

Black deck should just be an extra joker slot or minus 1 discard ngl

[bleak seal]

It does nothing for me unfortunately

[grave hamlet]

Chips🙏

[bleak seal]

Abandoned deck

Its like

[hardy fable]

woah you so pro I only got 5 chips

[bleak seal]

+10 chips lol

[grave hamlet]

Still chips

[grave hamlet]

I was so confused for a second 😭

[low stone]

The ante that I got pareidolia in

[bleak seal]

I'll just make glass

[frank crescent]

Having a deck that's just an extra joker slot would be lame i feel like

[bleak seal]

Yea

[minor portal]

we all start from somewhere

[hardy fable]

even had a plan to get a highscore but someone somehow got 63 chips :0

[lyric shore]

i like that theres a real stinker deck

[grave hamlet]

It would still be worse than ghost, yellow, and plasma

[frank crescent]

Like it's supposed to be a challenge you aren't playing blue baby in issac cause hes good shaking my smh

[idle haven]

Sock is the best negative

[lyric shore]

blue baby is good in isaac

[idle haven]

Design

[hardy fable]

I'm the best design and function trust

[frank crescent]

Blue baby makes me wanna rip my head off

[bleak seal]

I died , didnt pay enough attention

[minor portal]

he is good though in repentance+

[lyric shore]

hes got a damage multiplier and cheap devils

[idle haven]

My next goal

Die to 0 hand size

[lyric shore]

and poop is ok

[grave hamlet]

"start with 10 gold" "start with hex + (whatever tf they called) appear in shop" "+1 hand per round" "+1 discard on round"

Most decks give buffs with no downsides

[restive plover]

balala gaming

[frank crescent]

Why does Black Deck also have to be that

[grave hamlet]

Because it still wouldn't even be close to the best deck

🤷‍♂️

[bleak seal]

Ride the bus omg

[minor portal]

If we are to complain about a binding of crybaby character existing it should be jacob and esau

[idle haven]

Can we make a deck where you start with infinite money and 0 joker slots so the game can be called stupid

[bleak seal]

Yay

[grave hamlet]

tainted is so fun tho

[bleak seal]

Well no

[grave hamlet]

Would barely be battling for top 3

[frank crescent]

I dont get your reasoning here at all I'm gonna go back to playing black deck

[bleak seal]

+1 joker no downside is crazy

[minor portal]

Yes, the tainted variant of the character is fun. The base character is not.

[grave hamlet]

Not as crazy as ghost, plasma, and yellow

To win

Not going to endless

It's better than yellow for endless

[bleak seal]

Plasma gold stake is not always free

[minor portal]

I will play lost without mantle before playing jacob and esau

[grave hamlet]

Damn close

[bleak seal]

The ante scaling can be incredibly hard to keep up with at times

[lyric shore]

plasma is second hardest

[bleak seal]

Plasma is the best white stake deck

[grave hamlet]

Ofc, but it's also the easiest to get an op build on

[bleak seal]

Gold stake is very different

Black deck no downsides would certainly be top 3

[lyric shore]

nah i don't think so

[grave hamlet]

Sure, for exclusively like top 3 stakes

[bleak seal]

I just got another soul card omg

Canio abandoned deck

Dpmo

Omg

[grave hamlet]

Don't be the disable boss blind🙏

[bleak seal]

Soul card is so ass on abandoned deck

[lyric shore]

there are still chicot haters huh

[bleak seal]

2/5 are unviable

[grave hamlet]

I mean you can still get the face cards

[bleak seal]

Chicot is like the 2nd best legendary joker for clearing ante 8

[grave hamlet]

It's busted asf, but it just makes the game boring

[grave hamlet]

I play the game for fun, I don't sacrifice that for min-max

[bleak seal]

Face cards plus destruction will be hard

And I cant use glass because

Ride the bus is my mult

[bleak seal]

Chicot is very fun imo

[grave hamlet]

If you get lucky with DNA+trading card you can slowly scale it

[grave hamlet]

"remove all unique blinds" is the least fun thing possible

[lyric shore]

how dna

[grave hamlet]

1 face card then constant slow scaling

[bleak seal]

That's a cool opinion

[lyric shore]

but it's gotta score

[bleak seal]

Ride the bus...

[grave hamlet]

I didn't claim it would work for your set up

[bleak seal]

The real answer for what canio is doing

[grave hamlet]

I'm just saying for canio

[bleak seal]

Is adding 10 temperance value

[grave hamlet]

Get perkeo and cryptid then ex trust🙏

[bleak seal]

Never said canio was bad

[grave hamlet]

Neither did I😭

[lyric shore]

if u have canio and trading card you dont need dna

[bleak seal]

Said it's bad when I was on abandoned deck

[grave hamlet]

On abandoned specifically it's weird

[lyric shore]

couldve been trib tho 🤮

[grave hamlet]

Coulda been perkeo

Infinite copies of consumables, my beloved

[lyric shore]

infinite huh

[bleak seal]

Wait

Burglar mystic summit bus

Kinda fun combo

[grave hamlet]

Reminder on mystic summit?

[bleak seal]

+15 no discards

[grave hamlet]

Oh yeah, definitely cool

[bleak seal]

Real question

Do I sell canio for space man

Selling legendaries feels terrible

Even when they're bad

[grave hamlet]

Nah completely pivot your run and probably lose to make canio work

🙏

[bleak seal]

REAL QUESTION
Do I quija

[grave hamlet]

Ante?

[bleak seal]

3/14 chance for canio to pop off

[bleak seal]

3

[grave hamlet]

Hmmm, I would do it ngl

Not far enough in for me to care about it if it hits a numbered

[bleak seal]

I like early ouija

Obviously it's bad for endless

But it's pretty harmless for ante 8

JACKS

POG

[grave hamlet]

Now you just need some hung men or trading card😭

[bleak seal]

Yessss

Ancient is my favorite joker but it's not good for what I'm doing here

Sorry my goat

Ante 4 antimatter

Pog

Now I can pretend canio is negative

[grave hamlet]

Ancient hurts cause you can't even optimize it like you can totem

[quartz ember]

but its perfect on abandoned

[bleak seal]

I know

[quartz ember]

7.5x at will

[bleak seal]

But canio is cool

Ancient is literally my favorite joker I know of its glory

[quartz ember]

I guess if you already built for +mult

then its not good

[bleak seal]

Idt that's how multiplication works lowkey

1.5⁵

Is that 7.5

[quartz ember]

multiplication works by multiplying things together

[grave hamlet]

1.5x^5 is 7.59

[bleak seal]

Ohh okay

So ignore me

Its been a while since I've done math lmao

I hate that shit

[quartz ember]

calculator is your friend

[bleak seal]

OH NO

[grave hamlet]

Where's all wild deck (disables suit related bosses)

[bleak seal]

I just drew all my jacks

My poor bus

I think its joever

That's 22 less mult now

Maybe I 5oak pivot

[grave hamlet]

Canio sitting there praying on your downfall🙏

[bleak seal]

Maybe I can get out of bus now

But bus plus bungler is good

[grave hamlet]

You can always pull the red cord and they have to let you off 🙏

Green joker+blueprint+bungler peak early game combo

🙏

10 hands all giving +1 mult

[bleak seal]

Yeaaaa

Hanged man and I draw 0 face cards

😭😭😭

[grave hamlet]

Playing this game on phone without qol mods I just started using yesterday is a wake up call😭

[bleak seal]

Yeah

I play on ps4

I wish I could get my mods

:<

[grave hamlet]

I own it on ps, phone, and my crappy laptop

They deserve the support

[idle haven]

Ĥhhhhhhh

8 balllll

[bleak seal]

Ima pivot out of bus

[idle haven]

Ok

[bleak seal]

Its hurting more than helping

[idle haven]

[bleak seal]

NEGATIVE SHOWMAN LMAOOO

NEGATIVE SKIP IS THE BEEEEST

I've literally never been punished by negative skip

I have only ever gotten good jokers from it

[grave hamlet]

I personally wouldn't grab it besides to sell but I also just don't like showman in most cases

It's only useful if you actually have a build you want more of

🙏

[bleak seal]

We died

[hardy fable]

Yk what else starts with s and ends with man

[grave hamlet]

Dam the bus ran you over😭

[bleak seal]

That was a really weird run

We never found any real scoring

But canio did get to x2

[bleak seal]

What

[grave hamlet]

Try this random seed trust🙏 QUT2EP1N

[bleak seal]

I never found any planet cards

[bleak seal]

Try this totally random seed that definitely is random
ALEEB

[hardy fable]

gee I wonder what joker it could be

[bleak seal]

Wowww

Who couldve guessed

[grave hamlet]

Nono that's like actually a random seed, I had a photochad double baron build at the end😭

And early mail in first joker pack

[bleak seal]

Cool

Ante 1 ouija gave me 3s

Interestin

[grave hamlet]

Hold R🙏

[bleak seal]

Ima try build a 5oak run

[bleak seal]

On my ps4 controller yes definitely

Nah this can be good with hack or sumn

[grave hamlet]

Tbf there are 3 R buttons

Hold L1 and R1

That's the PlayStation hold R

[bleak seal]

Ahh

Well no

Every run is winnable

[grave hamlet]

Not every run

But non-bugged ones at least

🙏

[bleak seal]

Every run.

[hardy fable]

Dr winning 74 times in a row iirc on gs

[bleak seal]

This allows me to grow econ and not buy anything (besides like planet cards and shit) till ante 3

Its good

[grave hamlet]

There are some runs that are genuinely unbeatable do to bugged seeds

[bleak seal]

Besides bugged ones yeah

[grave hamlet]

And specifically on gold stake

[idle haven]

Im bart simpson sad edit

[bleak seal]

Mega spectral gives me wraith incantation ankh aura are any of these worth it (I have chaos the clown)

Prob not right

[grave hamlet]

Ankh gives free +1 scaling🙏

[bleak seal]

I could do incantation into aura ig

[idle haven]

Ok i forgot the boss blind but ysll know that one boss blind that makes you lose 1 dollar per card played

[bleak seal]

Or wraith into ankh

I'll wraith and save scum if bad

Obelisk

That's okay

[idle haven]

I forgot where I was going with this

[grave hamlet]

I meannnnnn you could make it work

But damn obelisk SUCKS for fun

If early*

[bleak seal]

I hate obelisk personally bcs

I always accidentally reset it

[grave hamlet]

Don't call me twin call me biologically identical clone🙏

[west hemlock]

Is fib worth picking up here? (Bus at +9)

[vocal rose]

absolutely

odd todd chad and fib

[west hemlock]

In that case ima stomp on the oops all sixes

Not enough lucky in the deck yet anyways

[grave hamlet]

Trust you'll get bloodstone

🙏

[vocal rose]

woah

if you’re running fib you don’t need rtb

[west hemlock]

Too late shit

[grave hamlet]

Ggs

[west hemlock]

Nvm I save scum

[grave hamlet]

Attaboy

[bleak seal]

I died

78 chips short

😭😭😭

Welp

Ante 5 isn't the worst

[grave hamlet]

You realize why you lost right?

[bleak seal]

Nah

[grave hamlet]

The early ouija

-1 hand size

[bleak seal]

Hand size

[grave hamlet]

You would have gotten the 78 chips

[bleak seal]

Not hand

[grave hamlet]

Trust

[bleak seal]

I died cus I misplayed my obelisk

[idle haven]

We on grow a garden all day

Don't care what they have to say

[bleak seal]

Spare trousers time

Free win lesgo

[idle haven]

Melvin sneedly and older sneedly

I cant say

[bleak seal]

Trousers lost

It had great potential

Had 8 purple seals

And a sixth aense

[dawn scarab]

Too many purple seals

[bleak seal]

Well no

You can never have too many purples

[signal frigate]

Papa Jimbo taking lil Jimbo

Take your kids to work day

[bleak seal]

Ante 4 round 4

Love this game

[signal frigate]

Purple seals are super strong, you actually WANT alot of them

Constant tarot generation means easy deckfix and econ aswell as occasionally some score

[bleak seal]

Yea

They're like

The best lol

[idle haven]

Clutterfunk

[bleak seal]

Showman is carrying me rn omg

Do we sell everything so invis hits showman

[west hemlock]

I hate purple stake

[bleak seal]

Okay

[west hemlock]

I am this close to asking someone to watch me play again 💔

[bleak seal]

I mean that is the difficulty jump

Finally got the win

Cus showman plus throwback plus negative +mult

Is too good

2 showman too

Bro

I'm getting trolled

I decided to play on checkered deck

Cus its goated and I love it

Foil tag gives me smeared joker

I'm like okay fine some free money

NEGATIVE TAG GIVES ME SMEARED JOKER AGAIN

[boreal fractal]

hey i just beat every deck on gold stake but the achieve didnt pop

anyone else had this issue

[lyric shore]

yea everyone

[bleak seal]

Oh dang

[lyric shore]

gotta get another win

[blazing kernel]

from first arcana tag is actually bonkers

[boreal fractal]

on any diff or gold

[bleak seal]

Nice

[signal frigate]

Also free temp value

You got half a refund from that pack

[lyric shore]

any is fine

[bleak seal]

Just got a standard pack with "Queen of Hearts Gold seal, Queen of Hearts, Queen of Hearts (glass) Purple seal"

They really wanted me to take qoh

[manic talon]

Royal flush + Mega straight

and i need a 2 pair

[bleak seal]

I accidentally just clicked new new run instead of continue

😭

We good I save scum

[lament hornet]

Rank my leftover decks to gold stake? I have green, black, painted and nebula

[barren wigeon]

not a mega straight flush, big L

[idle haven]

Hey i gold staked balatro yet I dont see any women messaging me is this a bug anyone else has been experiencing too

[boreal fractal]

need ++ for that

its somewhere in the last patch notes

[bleak seal]

What do yall think is the least used deck?

[idle haven]

That one

[barren wigeon]

nebula or erratic

[idle haven]

Literally what I was thinking bro

[bleak seal]

Near the end I think

[boreal fractal]

Black Deck is dire on gold stake

[bleak seal]

I think erratic gets a lot of play from people going for early flush 5 or 5oak

[boreal fractal]

im never touching it again

[bleak seal]

Cus it's a v fun deck

[boreal fractal]

Erratic is just a free 4oak setup

[idle haven]

Why can't we just have a deck deck

Where it changes nothing

No buffs or downsides

Just casual

[barren wigeon]

no it does not because nobody goes for that

[boreal fractal]

bro wants blank deck

[idle haven]

Yes

[bleak seal]

I want purple deck

Idk what it does but

1 for each of the rainbow

[bleak seal]

Yeyeye

[bleak seal]

nebula my beloved

[barren wigeon]

nebula deck is dogshit

[bleak seal]

It really isnt

[barren wigeon]

2nd worst maybe

[bleak seal]

Nebula is the telescope one right

[manic talon]

obelisk the GOAT, weird being able to play flush in obelisk checkered lmao

[bleak seal]

Yeah, weird

[barren wigeon]

you get telescope which isnt very useful when playing big hands and one less consumable slot

not great

[bleak seal]

Just

Play mercury

❓

[barren wigeon]

so play the most boring hand to play in the game

[bleak seal]

Boring does not equal bad

[barren wigeon]

it might as well

[bleak seal]

No

Also boring is in the eye of the beholder

[barren wigeon]

also you can do the same thing on nebula deck as you can do on any other deck

telescope isnt that big of a benefit

[bleak seal]

It really is

[barren wigeon]

especially when you lose a consumable slot

[boreal fractal]

free telescope isnt bad what am i reading?

[bleak seal]

You clearly have never gone several celestial packs without your ideal planet

[barren wigeon]

who said it was bad

[bleak seal]

Yeah 😭

[idle haven]

The grown ups are talking benny

[boreal fractal]

?

i dont like the pigeon holeing thats fair

[bleak seal]

Nebula is not the worst non black deck I swear

[barren wigeon]

its not good enough to warrant one less consumable slot which slows down your deckfixing to a crawl

[bleak seal]

Who needs deck fixing when you play pairs

[barren wigeon]

have you like

ever played gold stake

[bleak seal]

The tarots that matter in nebula are temperance hermit fool

[bleak seal]

Yes 😭

[barren wigeon]

because you definitely need to deckfix for pairs

• you cant always play pairs

[bleak seal]

You almost always can

[barren wigeon]

not always

its not always in the cards

[bleak seal]

A majority of the time you will

[barren wigeon]

false

[bleak seal]

❌

Do you play discardless or smth

[boreal fractal]

idk how hot of a take this is but i was not a fan of plasma deck

[bleak seal]

no that's valid

[barren wigeon]

and a large majority of pair builds aren't good enough to get off the ground

[barren wigeon]

valid but thats probably because its inconsistent

[boreal fractal]

it felt like you needed more set up past ante 4/5 = need more econ etc

[barren wigeon]

no matter your skill

[boreal fractal]

it took me 200hrs to C+ so i dont think im amazing at it

[barren wigeon]

thats not that long

[bleak seal]

I like nebula kill me please

[barren wigeon]

name one worse deck

[boreal fractal]

plasma

[bleak seal]

Yeah

[boreal fractal]

for me anyway

[barren wigeon]

plasma isnt worse because it can also be much easier in many cases

[bleak seal]

Red deck is worse imo

[barren wigeon]

yeo

[boreal fractal]

?

[barren wigeon]

we cant be frfr

is this /srs or /j

[bleak seal]

Serious.

[boreal fractal]

red is a good deck you probs played it when you were new

[bleak seal]

I havent played it for a while that's true

Most of the time I would just rather have blue deck

[barren wigeon]

red deck is definitely better and more consistent than nebula

[boreal fractal]

blue and red you can just turn your brain off

[bleak seal]

I play nebula because in my experience, it is very consistent

[barren wigeon]

-1 consumable slot

might as well be unplayable

[bleak seal]

its like getting rid of blue stake in exchange for your deck

[bleak seal]

That is a cool opinion

I havent played much painted but imo nebula is also >
I like having my joker slots idk how big of a take this is idt I've seen anyone play painted online before

It's nice with certain builds

I gtg

[manic talon]

do i copy the card sharp for fun here, if ante 7 is the eye i just die

[barren wigeon]

yes

[manic talon]

no im not doing that shit

[royal ore]

then why did you ask

[manic talon]

lmao

oh thank god

[manic talon]

i needed to type it out to realize it was a stupid play

thank god i didnt ankh it

[lunar zealot]

vv is fine

Mainly because you naturally always want to make a build that beats vv

?

I mean if you don't ever consider violet vessel then that is on you if ever you lose to it

[deft panther]

I'm a big dummy

[pale wolf]

interesting

garsh thatd be tricky

[lunar zealot]

how old are you?

[pale wolf]

aych oh doubleu oh ell dee ay ar ee wye oh yoo

thats not very funny

balatrodle spoilers in 3
https://www.balatrodle.com/

[lunar zealot]

burnt is not scaling?

[pale wolf]

does it have a value that increases on the card

also spoilers

It's very particular about what is scaling, it's not just the game concept of scaling

hiker isnt scaling, nova isnt scaling, misprint isnt scaling (or rng)

[lunar zealot]

Grrr

[pale wolf]

does anyone know how popular balatro is on tiktok

[tame coral]

is Grabber and Troubadour good synergy?

[pale wolf]

sure

[left juniper]

A lot of questions can be answered with "depends"

Whats your current build?

[hollow halo]

Probably no rn

[lunar zealot]

In a literal sense grabber is +1 hand and offsets troubadour

situational

[hardy fable]

stuntman

[pale wolf]

seems fine for now, you might end up having to get rid of troubadour but that's fine as long as you can benefit from the hand size while you have it

[left juniper]

This

[pale wolf]

I was afraid you would be on high stakes gameplay and have an eternal one

[pale wolf]

balatroc

you'll probably have to use those fools on money since you spent all of your money on the voucher

[hollow halo]

I'd still consider selling troubadour rn just for the money from the extra hand

Maybe

[pale wolf]

That is true it is like plus $4

[hollow halo]

Also I'm pretty sure selling troub gets you above an interest bracket too

[hollow halo]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

money from the troubadour, money from interest, money from the hand

with some fools in tow and considering it's not purple steak yet I think it's okay though

[hollow halo]

True it's definitely not bad

[lunar zealot]

I like tuba

[pale wolf]

what is the streak? how do you lose balatrodle

Days in a row?

[quartz ember]

I assume

[pale wolf]

cool

[quartz ember]

also why is everyone luckier than me in balatrodle today 😭

I ||guessed wrong like 3 times||

[pale wolf]

server chat person had in 4, i got in 3

[quartz ember]

5 for me

[pale wolf]

https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers

[pale wolf]

what'd you guess

I think the starting guess is the most important decision

[quartz ember]

my starting guess is ok tho I guess not optimal, after that ||tribe, burnt, and finally vagabond to figure out DNA||

[supple veldt]

[lunar zealot]

I always start with trousers

[still swift]

i get reporting the bug which is great and im more than willing to do, but is there any way i can navigate around this so i can progress through the game?
Please help I’ll pay

[lunar zealot]

[still swift]

[quartz ember]

[still swift]

and i never messed around w/ seeded runs

where can i report this? if anywhere. it is honestly very upsetting i cant progress thru the game

[supple veldt]

is it possible a mod is disabling unlocks?

[still swift]

i never used mods i have no idea how they work

[lunar zealot]

have you tried verifying your file integrity

[still swift]

no honestly let me investigate

should i delete the file ?

this is my file saved on my mac

[gusty maple]

Is it time for burglar serpernt 👀

[bleak seal]

Daily balatrodle spoilers

[pale wolf]

I used to until it was trousers

[pale wolf]

You should probably have some text that isn't spoilered telling people what it is lol

[bleak seal]

I just go with the flow

[bleak seal]

Okok

[pale wolf]

beep

[lunar zealot]

please do NOT delete those files those contain your save data 😭

Verify your file integrity via steam

[still swift]

how thoo

how to verify

[pale wolf]

look at the game's settings in steam

I think it's pretty easy to find

[plain mirage]

clean pair with no deck left (stickering four fingers)

[pale wolf]

I forget if Mr Bones saves you in this situation

[plain mirage]

yes he does

[lunar zealot]

What the hell

[plain mirage]

ive had a win where my score is below requirement

[pale wolf]

yeah but specifically with not having any cart in deck as well

[plain mirage]

idk about that

[supple veldt]

if you duplicate four fingers, can you play 2 hand straights and flushes

[lunar zealot]

Only if your score is 25%

[plain mirage]

trueee

[pale wolf]

but doesn't he not save you if you deck out and still have hands left

[lunar zealot]

if you don't have 25%

[pale wolf]

no even then

[lunar zealot]

then why the fuck does the double bones glitch work

[pale wolf]

It's like Uber weird

I remember this because of the lower implication that you die when you run out of hands, but not when you run out of cards

[plain mirage]

i think i can get the tiny hands achivement before endless scaling kills me

[lunar zealot]

No i think the glitch works because you run out of cards

[pale wolf]

no, it does, I meant lore not lower

The player character canonically dies when they run out of hands

bc mr bones saves from death

[plain mirage]

[vale shale]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[latent egret]

dr spectered wet dream

[hot oar]

NOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I was probably going to win

😭😭😭

[vale shale]

Is your vampire active

[shell dagger]

it’s tiiiiiiime

[hot oar]

No I was going to switch blueprint for midis mask

The gold card thing

[tired kestrel]

huh?

[tired kestrel]

Punished for not looking at boss blinds

[shell dagger]

my last sticker

[hot oar]

I KNOW

[tired kestrel]

Oh ic

[hot oar]

I’m so sad now 😞

[shell dagger]

C++ with only plasma deck lets goo

[manic talon]

C++ 15 times with every deck would be kinda funny

[shell dagger]

Poor soldier doing nebula deck

[manic talon]

abandoned deck only C++ would be funny

[shell dagger]

Yeah

Similar to plasma deck ig

[coarse condor]

debating… I’ve got a few gold goldseal kings I’m trying to generate Econ with

[shell dagger]

In that a good subset of jokers are far less viable compared to normal

[coarse condor]

not sure if leveling 5oak is worth more than the money

[manic talon]

are you just trying to win or going as far as possible

[coarse condor]

as far as possible, ideally I find a showman so I can start pivoting to mime baron or smth

[shell dagger]

if u wanna do baron mime then either do 4oak or flush 5

[coarse condor]

I haven’t seen a single wincon joker sadge

4oak over 5oak?

[undone laurel]

Gold stickered the Baron!!!

[coarse condor]

gzzz

[undone laurel]

How many jokers do I have gold stckered? Six sevennn

[shell dagger]

easier to draw and barely scales slower

[coarse condor]

fair enough lol

[shell dagger]

flush 5 because it can be used with idol if you don’t see baron for ages

[haughty widget]

hi gamers

[junior horizon]

this a good build?

[haughty widget]

hey im just starting gold stake

what

happens if I default on rent

is it like irl where they kick me out of the mold riddled apartment or

[latent egret]

you get into debt

which unlike real life has no limit

if you had 10000 negative rentals, you'd lose 30000 per rounds and go negative

[haughty widget]

you underestimate the human ability to open more lines of credit

[raw loom]

Can Cavendish ever reappear if it goes extinct

[latent egret]

yes

its like every other food joker

[violet bear]

Holy econ

[violet bear]

The only one that can’t reappear after going extinct is gros for obvious reasons

[calm furnace]

sometines i really dislike yhis game

dislike so much it double posted

[coarse condor]

fkkkkkk I forgot I was against the needle

thought it was the next ante small blind, brainless play

high carded to duplicate red seal steel king w dna

[lunar zealot]

i got SCRAPS

SCRAPS I TELL YOU

COMPLETE SCRAPS

THE ONLY REASON I HAD A CHANCE OF WINNING IS THAT I COULD RETCON OUT OF HEART AND VESSEL

[magic stone]

looks inside

[thorn dew]

i guess I know what I am building towords

this run got to an e20 btw, just died to the plant in a sad accident

[magic stone]

[magic stone]

2 invis showed up by ante 4 lol what is this build

[jagged torrent]

Invis hit?

[pure kayak]

This run motivated me to join this server

[pliant jewel]

average anaglyph run

[ionic trail]

I bug Balatro

[undone laurel]

Well, there goes my two pair run that would have gotten me 3 stickers

I hate ts

[quartz ember]

how did it lose? lack of chips?

[undone laurel]

Not enough hands, really

If I had 1 more hand and a good first draw that didn't take me 3 discards to get a 2 pair, the win would have been mine

Or if I got the egg earlier

Damn

[pale wolf]

😭

[pale wolf]

nice :p

[pale wolf]

good stuff, but btw you copy photo for highest scoring :3

[brave fox]

With my newfound knowledge of poker hands thanks to this game, I have managed to beat all the gambler challenges in red dead 2 in one go last night, those shits used to take me weeks to complete

[pale wolf]

pff

what are they

[magic stone]

scholar build (plasma blue stake)

[pale wolf]

looked it up, looks like a bunch of various gambling games with a few poker ones

[junior horizon]

Memories of playing the knife game on red dead 1

[brave fox]

Well the last one is to win 3 games of poker in a row without leaving the table, and if you know nothing about poker ur best bet is to just keep going all in on every hand and hope ppl fold, but now that I understand winning hands, I don't need to hope for a fold when I know what I have and don't have, made the challenges much easier

[pale wolf]

yeah base deck odds are still useful for poker

How come pair isn't the best hand in poker though

I suppose I should beat Jokerless

[potent tree]

ggs

[pale wolf]

excellent

[potent tree]

inflation wasn't terrible

[pale wolf]

nah never mind I really don't like Jokerless

I can't beat it if I can't have fun

[hardy fable]

what's inflation again?

hmm think I beat that one by getting the fundamentals early

you prob don't even need x mult it's white stake

Just scaling chip and mult

[narrow wadi]

lol

[potent tree]

well i think i skipped for tags to bypass the inflation a lot

might have to do another run to find a good strat

[potent tree]

god's shop

[unreal iron]

delicious

honestly i forget that seltzer is a joker

[narrow wadi]

idt i've ever had that before without overstock+

[unreal iron]

its so ass

[narrow wadi]

i'm doing erratic and forcing 4oak/ flush 5 cos it's fun even if it's not optimal

it's good with lucky cat

[potent tree]

well it can save runs at high antes

[narrow wadi]

i get like +1.5 xmult per round

[unreal iron]

never have i ever been saved by a seltzer but oh well

[narrow wadi]

it's good lucky cat scaling and uh, idk when else i would take it

[unreal iron]

yes its a food joker its not supposed to last long but just 10 retriggers...?

[narrow wadi]

i guess with a glass card maybe

[potent tree]

10 hands

[unreal iron]

my bad

[potent tree]

like ice cream is 20

[unreal iron]

thats what i wanted to say

[floral mural]

seltzer is good for value rather than scoring

i feel

[potent tree]

if it had one use per retrigger it would last just 2 hands on a five card hand build

[floral mural]

its a generic retrigger on a time limit

[unreal iron]

at least its not tied to a rank i guess?

[potent tree]

honestly why can't popcorn and ice cream line up

make ice cream drop 20 chips per round

[narrow wadi]

the time limit isn't too bad, it's at worst 2 full rounds and at best 10 rounds, it can pay for itself very easily with good lucky cards or a couple gold seals

[potent tree]

or popcorn 1 mult per hand

[floral mural]

thats why seltzer is alright imo

its like bean i guess?

you take it for non scoring value for a little bit usually

idk a joker which isnt unusable and isnt amazing isnt something im too bothered by

idol and others like it bother me because there isnt a time theyre good

[narrow wadi]

i have taken it once recently cos i'm just forcing 4oak/ flush 5 on erratic for fun and it was on the right card in the shop in ante 8

[floral mural]

youd have won without it too then

[narrow wadi]

yup

but it made the score go to funny numbers

[floral mural]

idol is the most satisfying endless strat for what its worth but anyone new here who defends idol is like somewhat annoying

[narrow wadi]

i defend it in that it is a fun joker on white stake which is a fine niche imo, it is however an awful joker

[floral mural]

youre allowed to enjoy bad things but dont pretend theyre viable

thats my issue

[narrow wadi]

fair

[haughty widget]

how so?

i.e. what's the material difference?"

[left juniper]

Because 4 is a bigger number than 3

[austere escarp]

judgement hit invis

[haughty widget]

how would one of the options be 3?

[narrow wadi]

no shot this is unseeded

like this is pure naneinf potential

[left juniper]

Well it's 1am and I counted incorrectly I need sleep

[austere escarp]

brainstormed the perkeo but the judgement was random

[haughty widget]

its fine dwdw

[narrow wadi]

what does this mean? like u found a seed with a program for perkeo round 1?

[unreal island]

chat new joker idea

Specific Ocean (Common)
Playing an Ace of Spades gives $5. Each subsequent Ace of Spades gives $1 less.

[floral mural]

you do copy photo there as you only have chad and photo and generally without additional retriggers or copies you copy the xmult youre retriggering

[left juniper]

I even wrote 4 and 5 and then changed it which is still wrong lol

[floral mural]

due to the initial trigger

[austere escarp]

its a mod that essentially lets you skip the restarting over and over again for a perkeo

[narrow wadi]

this is kinda weak imo, it's insanely hard to pull off for not much money- i think it's fine to just stay at $5, or it could be any ace and goes down $1 per round given temporary econ is pretty cool

[austere escarp]

Ive gotten crazy seeds like this before unseeded

[narrow wadi]

ah ok that's cool, judgement invis is still insane

[narrow wadi]

i've had seeds crazier than this by the end of like ante 2, round 0 is wild

[austere escarp]

perkeo kinda sucks on ante 1 honestly

for painted

its not really going to do anything to have 2

[narrow wadi]

it's a golden joker after getting literally any copyable card

which is decent

[floral mural]

oh perkeo invis on painted is uhh 2 slots not dedicated to scoring

find something fast i guess

[austere escarp]

okay the seed is kinda nutty

[haughty widget]

i trust you I just don't understand the theory behind it

[glad sequoia]

Some of the most fun I've ever had piloting a build

[narrow wadi]

do you arcana and hope for an emperor here? might even be worth just getting something in the fool pool for later

[austere escarp]

id rather just copy planets

might do two pair just cause painted

[narrow wadi]

if you get anything to copy it's at least $4 per round until u find a good planet

[magic stone]

the straight flush build is real

thanks 15 minute city

[nova mantle]

Rtb is so goated ong

Best mult scaler

[magic stone]

spare trousers is twice as good

[narrow wadi]

i'd probably say constellation/ hologram given xmult is much harder to find, rtb still goated tho

[narrow wadi]

not always, it can be harder to scale without winning too quickly

[glad sequoia]

I prefer red card but as for just playing hands scaling I prefer it over super nova and grimbo. Pants is close with bus

[nova mantle]

Oh yeah, I was saying as in flat mult lol

[narrow wadi]

ah fair mb

[magic stone]

i usually only like rtb with dusk/acro

[nova mantle]

Ofc both Holo and const is the goat of xmult

[tired kestrel]

Does a guy take shortcut here?

[nova mantle]

And obelisk

[narrow wadi]

i like rtb with literally any deck ever (if it's pre ante 4)

[glad sequoia]

Holo when I get incantation 😮

[narrow wadi]

sometimes even after ante 4 tbh

[tiny harbor]

boss killed my run

[magic stone]

lucky cat and glass joker:

[dry remnant]

fml

[glad sequoia]

I got a Midas and bus early and was able to make all my face cards gold before I started scaling the bus. Worked out really well on green deck

[narrow wadi]

lucky cat has a condition to work which can be very inconsistent, glass joker has the same. holo and constellation always work and are always good

[nova mantle]

Out of the 3 scalers that depend on playing hands rtb is my favorite, prob id take Red card over it but I like that it doesn't depend on econ

[narrow wadi]

i still think lucky cat is great, and glass is good (not as great)

[magic stone]

X0.75 per broken glass card is nutty

[nova mantle]

Ehh... Lucky cat for me honestly

[narrow wadi]

fr, when u have glass cards and when they actually break, this is not very easy to pull off

[magic stone]

they also have oops! synergy which is a plus

[nova mantle]

Glass joker feels like evil dice, in the sense that it decreases the chance of all my damn glass cards to break

[glad sequoia]

Yeah very econ dependent

Glass cards become plexiglass the second you get glass joker

[narrow wadi]

i went 0/17 on lucky card triggers on my first lucky cat game ever, didn't pick it up for a while after- now i pick it up most of the time

[tired kestrel]

Still considering shortcut here

[nova mantle]

Rtb on abandoned ❤️‍🩹

[nova mantle]

Truth nuke

[narrow wadi]

i find that with glass joker my glass cards teleport to the bottom of my deck

[nova mantle]

Tbf I pick oa6 most of the time, it synergizes with many things so it's a very practical pick

[glad sequoia]

I love picking up an oops with Chad

[narrow wadi]

it makes lucky cards even better as an econ source, they become $2 per card played which is pretty great

[nova mantle]

Parking, business card, space joker, glass joker and lucky cat, bloodstone even...

[keen ermine]

Hi

[glad sequoia]

Maybe even 8 ball...

[narrow wadi]

hi

[nova mantle]

Lucky cards are a goated enhancement even without dice tbh
I've lost count on the amount of times that they have hit the 20 mult and 20 dollars proc

[nova mantle]

Hi

[vale wharf]

Is it possible to do gold stake in 8 rounds?

[narrow wadi]

early game it's my go to tarot enhancement card, even mid to late game most of the time tbh

[slate lance]

Glass with 2 dice is better

[vale wharf]

But that makes them break

[narrow wadi]

almost definitely tbf, just very hard

[nova mantle]

Fragile challenge:

[narrow wadi]

u only need like a couple +mult and a couple xmult to win

or even 1 good xmult

[slate lance]

Ik im joking
Bu5 it could be good actually because it can act like a second hanged man just with extra steps

[nova mantle]

You'd prob need throwback for that, unironically lmao

[narrow wadi]

in gold stake early i do often glass a bad card in brick tarot packs cos eventually it kills it

[slate lance]

What does it do o-o

[nova mantle]

Exactly what you said

[slate lance]

Ive only done the rich get richer rn

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[nova mantle]

Your whole deck is glass and you've got 2 eternal negative dice

[slate lance]

Glass break immediately,

[robust cosmos]

Do I take it?

[slate lance]

Agree but painted is worst

[serene forge]

no

[narrow wadi]

why are you castling?

[serene forge]

they needed the chips

[narrow wadi]

lol

[jagged torrent]

Yes

[slate lance]

What 😭

[haughty widget]

it helps keep the king safe

[nova mantle]

Yup, and magician gives 2 cards honestly that's busted

[serene forge]

o-o is notation for castling in chess

[jagged torrent]

Wrong it keeps the rook safe

[haughty widget]

and he sacrifices

[slate lance]

Whats castling in chess?

[nova mantle]

You've got 2 negative eternal dice

[jagged torrent]

THE ROOOKKKK

[slate lance]

Oh shit, idnt that just amazing though

[narrow wadi]

king goes 2 squares to the side u castle, rook goes the other side of it, protects ur king and activates the rook

[nova mantle]

Ehh... Nebula was far worse for me

[slate lance]

Imagine you get astronaut

[haughty widget]

arch user spotted, i know what you are

[glad sequoia]

I beat the fragile challenge with shoot the moon and baron

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[nova mantle]

Every card in your deck is glass

[jagged torrent]

I know what I am 😔 💔

[slate lance]

I had worst time on plasma but i cant give up on my name

I won with 2 castles tho 🤤

[jagged torrent]

D:

[nova mantle]

Not you dawg

Nebula deck

[slate lance]

Are u calling them a deckhead
So rude

[haughty widget]

ive done physical labour before so i use mint and debian

[narrow wadi]

nebula deck is ok imo, black deck and plasma are the only ones i hate playing- black deck is much worse than plasma i just find plasma unfun

[jagged torrent]

Trib in invis

[nova mantle]

Fuck nebula deck the 1 consumable slot is miserable 💔

For a mid voucher too

[narrow wadi]

i don't like playing erratic optimally, i love playing it and forcing 4oak tho

[jagged torrent]

Holy based. I use arch btw

[nova mantle]

Gawdamn 😭

[narrow wadi]

this is so sad, i would honestly love a negative chaos

[glad sequoia]

It is, probably my second least favorite deck to play

[nova mantle]

What your least favorite

[jagged torrent]

Hi John nebula deck

[nova mantle]

Jane

[glad sequoia]

You could probably get it in one guess

[jagged torrent]

John is gender neutral for me.

[nova mantle]

Ehh...

chat new joker idea

[dim wraith]

Halo

[nova mantle]

Ofc it's plasma ain't it

[glad sequoia]

Black. Specifically on gold stake. White stake it's not bad

[dim wraith]

[haughty widget]

chat new joker idea. if you dont draw a royal flush it sterilizes you.

[nova mantle]

Mmmh yup that's valid

[glad sequoia]

Plasma is really hard but it's fun in how different it plays it feels rewarding to play

[dim wraith]

[nova mantle]

I had a worse time on plasma personally

[jagged torrent]

Holy peak

[jagged valve]

Is there any limitations on how far Erratic Deck can go in terms of RNG?

[jagged torrent]

Plasma is easy tho 😔

[narrow wadi]

i think there's a glitched all 10 of one suit seed, so i wld assume no

[glad sequoia]

It's a completely different game, it's definitely top 3 hardest to gold imo

But I enjoy it. So.

[nova mantle]

I'm sorry but nebula's more boring than plasma 😭

[jagged valve]

But the keyword is glitched

10 of spades

[nova mantle]

Half the challenge on nebula deck comes from not falling asleep, the other comes from high priestess's and emperor's eating dirt

[glad sequoia]

The aggressive scaling is nuts

[narrow wadi]

if there is an existing glitch that bypasses any limit, is there really a limit?

[glad sequoia]

And accidentally discarding a purple seal or winning with a blue seal with one consumable in your inventory

[jagged valve]

Yes, the limit being that the glitch only affects one card that we know of

So we can't have all ace of hearts, king of diamonds, for example

[nova mantle]

Plasma
Black
Nebula
That'd be my top 3

[jagged valve]

I mean on an unglitched seed

[narrow wadi]

that we know of, idk if it's possible for others, ur kinda right tho tbh maybe the glitch does only effect 10

[magic stone]

Edged The Knife Award

[glad sequoia]

Probably mine too, as in difficulty

[nova mantle]

Had a moon in my consumable slot, guess no planet card for me 💔

[narrow wadi]

i feel like plasma has the highest skill ceiling, the pivot from chips to mult is a whole new type of decision making

[jagged valve]

I wish we had less limitations

[magic stone]

is plasma really that bad of a gold stake? got up to blue on it so far and it’s pretty easy

[nova mantle]

Funnily enough my winning nebula run was due to the +1 consumable slot voucher, saved my ahh cuz I was running campfire as my xmult

[jagged valve]

Blue Stake makes me want to end it all

It's such an oddball stake

But this is like the most popular opinion ever on Balatro community

[icy hollow]

higher scoring requirements impacts plasma more than other decks kinda

[nova mantle]

Purple is the death of reasonable score requirements

[icy hollow]

cus it forces you to pivot earlier (or limits the chip builds u can survive with significantly)

[jagged valve]

Black Deck still harder

[icy hollow]

yes

[glad sequoia]

It is. I've only gold staked it five times. Every other deck it's significantly more

[nova mantle]

Thisss, in black you can at least apply all the strats you already know from other decks, learning to leverage plasma scoring is brutal in comparison

[icy hollow]

i think plasma is still the coolest deck tho. cus it actually changes gameplay lmao

most other decks are such small chnges from each other, you can kinda just do the same thing in all of them

[jagged valve]

Plasma Deck changes the way you think about builds

[nova mantle]

I can't believe VV and crimson heart are in the same category as amber acorn and cerulean bell

[jagged valve]

We need more Plasma Deck esque decks

[icy hollow]

fr

[glad sequoia]

Green is probably the most unique after plasma. Everything else plays the exact same with different vouchers and such

[nova mantle]

Reminds me of the 3 dragons meme where 1 looks silly, cerulean bell and amber acorn are so un threatening in comparison

[magic stone]

cerulean bell can be pretty annoying but VL and AA are jokes

[icy hollow]

fr

[jagged valve]

I like Erratic's gimmick too

[magic stone]

the gimmick is holding r
