[white zodiac]

or fib adjacent scoring

[viral raft]

literally no use, is just copium for thoses new players who play faces

[crystal field]

earth chip scaling should atleast be equal or higher than saturn

[wintry ice]

definitely not equal

[tawdry burrow]

how much does base full house give

[cloud sinew]

it definitely does have a use and it's when the game presents a build that works best in full houses but

[tawdry burrow]

isn't it like 30x4 or something

[wintry ice]

you'd probably end up making 4oak obsolete if you do that

[cloud sinew]

it's that theres very little reason to build into full houses

over other hands

[uncut slate]

does the game do that outside of presenting trib

[crystal field]

i believe its 40x4

[cloud sinew]

fib, walkie talkie

[viral raft]

literally any hand works better to build towards instead of full house

[floral mural]

theres specifically a two pair trousers obelisk but if you need 2 jokers to function as a hand type youre not a good hand type

[uncut slate]

walkie talkie 🥀

[tawdry burrow]

flush gives 35x4

[viral raft]

actually true that's actually one of the few moments where Full house is useful

even with that

[crystal field]

4oak way more reliable than fh

[tawdry burrow]

of course the most powerful base hand is flush5 at a whopping 160x16

[wintry ice]

the floor of drawing is lower

[viral raft]

builds around FH are literally just uselss

[uncut slate]

this sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen ngl

[crystal field]

wdym floor of drawing

[cloud sinew]

i dislike when people are this hyperbolic because it removes nuance from the discussion

[white zodiac]

trying to get the first fh is harder with an unfixed deck

[crystal field]

oh yeah

[floral mural]

unless youre fixed drawing a 3 of a kind and a pair is easier than a 4 of a kind.

[crystal field]

but its probably a lot easier to fix for 4oak than fh?

maybe not

[viral raft]

true but let's be honest, Full houses builds are just bad lol, just play two pairs or 4oak, both make similar but way better job than Full

[white zodiac]

fh has more tools

[floral mural]

or 3oak if youre early on

[viral raft]

true

[floral mural]

3 of a kind being almost the same planet as full house with 5 less chips is kinda sad

[white zodiac]

4oak needs to specific one rank as 2 would conflict with your initial draw and discard decisions

[uncut matrix]

i find that early game full houses help me out the most and help me pivot into fours

[viral raft]

😭

[shrewd grail]

yo

any tips for winning any deck ?

[tawdry burrow]

checkered is just do flush

[viral raft]

builds, not the hand itself, early game Full house works well to won, but then in build are just incosistent

[shrewd grail]

?

[uncut matrix]

that depends

[tawdry burrow]

more nuance of course

i mostly play flush with checkered

[crystal field]

straight flush or die

[tawdry burrow]

if it's high enough you one-shot the first blind and two-shot the boss

[viral raft]

try to play around consistensy and good econ

[pine drum]

Any tips on how to get the Tiny Hands Achievement easily?

[cloud sinew]

"play around consistency" doesnt really mean anything

[wintry ice]

it's better to go flushes or straights as your ante 1 option

[white zodiac]

statistically fh is the hardest of the 3 5 card specific poker hands to one shot r1 and score on a1 with specific ranks

[uncut matrix]

id go straights or full house

and then pivot towards one of those

[crystal field]

were u not here for the whole convo 😭

[uncut matrix]

works out for me 🤷‍♂️

no i just got here

[wintry ice]

why would you go for a harder to draw hand on the early antes

[uncut matrix]

why not

[wintry ice]

anecdotal evidence is unreliable

[crystal field]

we just spent like 5mins shidding on fh

[uncut matrix]

yikes

[cloud sinew]

because it's harder to draw...?

[uncut matrix]

id rather go for the least amount of hands early game to get my money up

[alpine basalt]

idk what yall are talking about, I juts drew 2 fhs in a row without discarding, must be the best hand

[crystal field]

full house has one use; sometimes i find it to 1shot round 1 😼

[open pier]

who to kill

[pine drum]

Any tips on how to get the Tiny Hands Achievement easily?

[wintry ice]

it's not possible tp judge something just from your personal experience

[hasty harness]

hermit

[crystal field]

none would help

[shell dagger]

so do flush bc it has the highest chance of a oneshot

[wintry ice]

you have to compare the functionality of the hand to the others

[hasty harness]

legendaries dont help ur build

[open pier]

what if i want chicot

[crystal field]

chicot lame just find retcon

[open pier]

BOOOOOOO

[hasty harness]

golden ticket then but the money is worth more

[uncut matrix]

i do flush when i can, i just find that full house gets drawn a lot

[wintry ice]

and flushes and straights that 1 shot are more likely

[open pier]

chicot goat

[crystal field]

chigoat

[floral mural]

on ante 14 chicot (hes good in gold stake ante 8 i know) is lowkey a slot waster

[wintry ice]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[white zodiac]

this is statistically incorrect

[shell dagger]

statistically it isn’t

[hasty harness]

only way hes helpful atp is if they run into plant without retcon/directors cut

even then u could probably roll into luchador

[wintry ice]

is this using the stakes where you have 3 discards as reference

[hasty harness]

with golden ticket money

[crystal field]

obelisk reminds me that sometimes we be drawing some funny hands on accident

[uncut matrix]

this is gold stake experience

i understand that statistically its unlikel;y

[wintry ice]

how much of it

[uncut matrix]

like how often?

[cloud sinew]

then your experience isn't aligned with how it plays out statistically

[wintry ice]

how much experience of earlygame on gold stake

[white zodiac]

let’s say black deck gs

a1

[crystal field]

im in hell

💔

[wintry ice]

the best strategy would be playing on another deck

[hasty harness]

give me riftraff or rebate shop 1 else i retire

[uncut matrix]

lmao

[white zodiac]

which 5 card poker hand would you first seek out for

[wintry ice]

or just going for flushes because it's even less likely to draw full house with -1 hand

[hasty harness]

depends on starting draw

[crystal field]

why strush ofc

[uncut matrix]

i dont normally go for flushes unless i really think about it

[white zodiac]

and not die

[uncut matrix]

like my habit is striaghts

[wintry ice]

they're the best hand for specifically ante 1

[uncut matrix]

and from discarding for straights i often get full house draws

[floral mural]

flush and straights if im just missing one edge rank

:3

[crystal field]

did you know the lvl 1 ace low strush scores exaclty 1000 points. I learned that the other day

[white zodiac]

edge

[cloud sinew]

first golden needle win of the day

[white zodiac]

are you just playing gn for fun

[cloud sinew]

im trying to streak it

[white zodiac]

that sounds awful

[cloud sinew]

its been pretty fun

[white zodiac]

is your streak like 2 or something

[shell dagger]

6th triangle number is 21

[cloud sinew]

this is my first run of the day so its 1

[white zodiac]

maybe this is how brooke found the triple yorick seed

[shell dagger]

wait

[crystal field]

wym

[shell dagger]

oh ace not 2-6

silly moi

[white zodiac]

ace low mfw

[crystal field]

eeya

[white zodiac]

[crystal field]

A-5 straight flush

[shell dagger]

brain destroyed

[crystal field]

[cloud sinew]

RAHHHH

bye troub

[wintry ice]

i go for straights if i have qjt or jt9

[brittle tendon]

Writing about balatro hands for a college assignment, I feel this is pretty accurate

[violet bear]

Rest in peace throbberdoer 😔

[white zodiac]

i discard low ranks if straight ranks or suits are equally distributed

[crystal field]

it was r2

when i got the ace straight flush 🙏

rip

[cloud sinew]

bye credit card

[white zodiac]

cool

[wintry ice]

acrobat sounds like the best joker to get for this challenge

that or rebate

[cloud sinew]

you need Water defense on GN

[white zodiac]

or yorick

[wintry ice]

actually yorick would be insane

[white zodiac]

mystic summit upon ye

[cloud sinew]

HTR be damned

[shrewd grail]

so um what to do to win

[oblique matrix]

What uncommon joker costs 7 dollars bruh 😭

[white zodiac]

i thought you wanted water defense

[lament bronze]

cloud 9 for one

cloud 9 is just one dollar above gold jonkler

[white zodiac]

not stencil

he 8

which is cringe

[oblique matrix]

I GOT IT

Never mind

Today’s Balatrodle is ass bruh

[alpine basalt]

I love getting rewarded for bad decisions

[pale wolf]

i am back
and im taking the pants

[cloud sinew]

LETS GOOOOO

[alpine basalt]

neg tag into cartomancer is so goated

[white zodiac]

hello this is your wife speaking

where are my pants

and my starbucks money

[shrewd grail]

btw what rus is most worth to make ?

double ?

[wintry ice]

balatrodle

[shrewd grail]

poker ?

[cloud sinew]

in english it's called Pair, and poker is called Four of a Kind

[oblique matrix]

I could have sworn that burger cost 7 dollar

[shrewd grail]

i could find the pair word

[lament bronze]

repoker is 5 of a kind

[shrewd grail]

so um what run is good ? and cheap

[cloud sinew]

pfft

[uncut slate]

pair is good enough most of the time but most of the hands are useful

[cloud sinew]

not even close baby

[soft mango]

Sock or dice?

[pale wolf]

I can almost immediately feel that it was a mistake

[cloud sinew]

:(

[lament bronze]

shes gonna spin the damn wheel

[pale wolf]

nearly died, the hand size loss with merry Andy is actually significant for two pair

might still pull through

made it through hook at least

[alpine basalt]

man I essentially lost balatrordle

[soft mango]

I guess I'll be able to pivot out if I keep sock but the dice is funny 🤔

F it we ball, im going dice

[pale wolf]

score?

[alpine basalt]

8 tries on balatrodle

[pale wolf]

yep you lost

[cloud sinew]

golden needle streak of 2, rahhhh

[pale wolf]

spoilers

[shrewd grail]

wow you pretty good

[alpine basalt]

I saw all green and thought I had it

mb forgot to mark it

[pale wolf]

just might still pull through

[cedar shell]

i was so lost for a second

[alpine basalt]

I thought that ||Shortcut was 6 dollars||

[cedar shell]

how you had 5 discards

[wintry ice]

i did it in 4 tries

[hasty harness]

constellation is massive

[pale wolf]

idiot

was telling that to myself

[cloud sinew]

might be a streak of 3 :3

[cedar shell]

rtb cant be perishable????

[pale wolf]

balatrodle spoiler

[hasty harness]

oh i did it

[cloud sinew]

it cant be, no.

[hasty harness]

i got it on the 2nd guess

lol

[brave goblet]

no scaling joker that retains its own scale value can be

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

[cedar shell]

so obelisk, grimbo, all cant be perishable

wow

[alpine basalt]

this runs been chilling from the start, got ante 1 round 1 eternal rocket and ante 1 round 2 eternal pants

[shell dagger]

idk what retains its own scale value means

[alpine basalt]

dl is one away from active

[wintry ice]

i did ||hologram -> arrowhead -> midas and went "hm, since there are no static 7$ econ or creation joker i'll just try shortcut because that counts as hand modifying"||

[brave goblet]

I might have worded it wrong but there you go

[shell dagger]

it’s just any scaling joker which is never retroactive

[cloud sinew]

i have no idea what this means, the rule is that most non-retroactive scalers cant be perishable

[brave goblet]

There we go, retroactive

[pale wolf]

incorrect

[cloud sinew]

there are two exceptions to that however

campfire and hit the road

[pale wolf]

ramen

[cedar shell]

not my goat campfire

[cloud sinew]

positively scaling is implicit

[pale wolf]

no it isn't

[brave goblet]

Neither of these actually "retain" a value, you actually do stuff to activate them

[pale wolf]

upscaling and down scaling are both scaling

[cloud sinew]

for balatrodle rules, sure

[pale wolf]

It's what the word means

[cloud sinew]

but that isnt defined in-game or indirectly in-game

[shell dagger]

htr and campfire in that case aren’t strictly positively scaling then

[cloud sinew]

...?

[cedar shell]

she ride my bus till i "This Joker gains +1 Mult per consecutive hand played without a scoring face card"

[cloud sinew]

i never said "strictly positively scaling"

[wintry ice]

couldn't you use this logic about every scaling joker

[brave goblet]

No, because grimbo retains its value as long as you keep it

Or you know, don't discard hee hee ho ho

[cloud sinew]

this doesnt win btw

[wintry ice]

i think what makes them perishable compatible is that they reset

[cloud sinew]

which means it doesnt retain its value

because it can decrease

[wintry ice]

so their value isn't permanent

[pale wolf]

Even the wiki says explicitly "positively scaling" because scaling alone doesnt imply positive

[brave goblet]

But it is retaining a value

It's not its fault that you're activating the condition that makes it decrease

[cloud sinew]

the wiki is not the game

[pale wolf]

okay?

[cloud sinew]

and by beating the blind you are activating the condition to reset hit the road

[wintry ice]

is the list of compatible jokers hardcoded

[alpine basalt]

man I get so happy now seeing this in shops with the gold sticker on it

[cloud sinew]

yes

[pale wolf]

absolutely

[wintry ice]

makes sense

[pale wolf]

same with the ones that can't be eternal (besides legendaries), they don't even get eternal tag on Typecast

All the Jokers that are banned in non-perishable

[brave goblet]

The pedantic rather than the utility line of reasoning I see

[hasty harness]

she diet on my cola til i skip

[wintry ice]

honestly making a flag that sets it as perishable or eternal compatible sounds like the most reasonable option

[cloud sinew]

"my reasoning is useful and yours is just to nitpick" /strawman

[brave goblet]

My reasoning is, in fact, useful

[cloud sinew]

your reasoning isnt logically consistent

[brave goblet]

Why not?

[hasty harness]

this run still has me dead lol

gold sticker for loyalty and onyx

[pale wolf]

still wont concede that scaling isnt implicitly positive tho 😎

[violet bear]

Common bones W

[hasty harness]

it was old but probably one of my most memorable runs for c++

[wintry ice]

campfire and htr don't keep their scaling and are retroactive in a sense

[hasty harness]

just because i failed to time loyalty

and then bones bailed me out lol

[cloud sinew]

so then why is turtle bean not immune to perishable

[pale wolf]

because thunk doesn't speak english, hes canadian

[violet bear]

That’s a really funny outcome

[cloud sinew]

they arent retroactive at all, they only scale while you have the joker

[violet bear]

I had a similar run to gold the card but managed to time it for the ante8 boss, struggled an awful lot in non-card rounds though

[pale wolf]

but fr uuuh the positively scaling non-retroactive non-resetting jokers cannot be perishable

[limpid phoenix]

janky ahh run

[violet bear]

It was pretty funny but a sweat

[brave goblet]

bus when you play a face card:

got you again

[cloud sinew]

score* :3

[shell dagger]

zebra never stated iff, bus isn’t in that subset so is irrelevant

gotcha

[viral raft]

Isaac sins as the 4 Joker sins, did i cook or nah

[pale wolf]

guh

[cloud sinew]

you cooked

[viral raft]

nice

[shell dagger]

i wonder why people hate mathematicians

[brave goblet]

Invalid syntax (C++)

[pale wolf]

One nitpick I should be forced to point out is maybe the letters should have borders

especially on the third one

[cloud sinew]

yeah i dont like the joker text font and colouring

[pale wolf]

I think the color might be fine

wdym font

do you want it to be isaac font or someth

[cloud sinew]

"colouring" i.e it having a gradient

[viral raft]

yeah, when i was making the keys they were so white that the JOKER text just looked so ahh

[pale wolf]

I would just want to see it with a border

[viral raft]

maybe a lowblack border should look cool

[pale wolf]

It's pretty common for it to be bordered very subtly

except hit the road

[jagged valve]

Welcome to another episode of Bait or Great

[pale wolf]

Great

[shell dagger]

insignificant

[jagged valve]

Replace with...?

[pale wolf]

that too

[shell dagger]

trib

[pale wolf]

scary maybe

[shell dagger]

Bait or Great?

[pale wolf]

lusty

[cedar shell]

bait

[pale wolf]

bate

[cedar shell]

lusty gone for duo, go next

[jagged valve]

I am hitting 5oak

[cedar shell]

average rtb first draw

[viral raft]

i forget the fact that some jokers have borders, i'll try it

[jagged valve]

Flush Five actually

No idk

5oak yeah yeah

[cloud sinew]

also why's lusty in that position, for optimal score it should be left of both photograph and trib

[jagged valve]

5oak queens

[jagged valve]

I just got photograph this shop

[alpine basalt]

I dunno guys should I sell a joker here?

[jagged valve]

Also doesn't photo trigger before any mult card

[alpine basalt]

boutta one shot the boss rn

[pale wolf]

selling carto does nothing so sure

[jagged valve]

Should I replace both lusty and scary?

[pale wolf]

Not the ones that are in the same phase as it, it goes left to right in within each phase

[alpine basalt]

I didn't sell any

[jagged valve]

With duo and brain

[alpine basalt]

wanted to keep carto since I get a better sticker on it if I didn't sell

[pale wolf]

card scoring, held in hand, joker effects

[honest dawn]

Don't sell any Jokers

[jagged valve]

Tf does phase mean

[alpine basalt]

still won with plenty of time

[jagged valve]

Oh

[honest dawn]

Just play

[pale wolf]

so if you have photo before lusty, and you play a King of hearts, it will multiply before it adds lusty

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt make a difference for C++ though if thats why youre doing it

[jagged valve]

So yeah lusty useless

[pale wolf]

better sticker made me chuckle a little bit

[pale wolf]

Not useless

[cloud sinew]

not useless

[alpine basalt]

ik, I just like having more stickers for the sticker progress even though it doesn't really matter

[pale wolf]

depends on what your base molt is, actually probably negligible when you're playing flush fives

[alpine basalt]

well now

[jagged valve]

Do I get duo and brainstorm

Should I brainstorm trib

[honest dawn]

He still makes money without selling any Jokers.

[jagged valve]

Trib on the left

[honest dawn]

I played it, that's all.

[alpine basalt]

grimbo in the pack too we chillin

[jagged valve]

Ill have no +mult anyways

[honest dawn]

Good

[pale wolf]

i just got an @here in the Minecraft discord
oh my God there's going to be chaos in there

[alpine basalt]

and a purple seal in the pack even better

[pale wolf]

Good thing I don't actually use that server

[pale wolf]

dont greed and die

get like 10 on the grinch

[alpine basalt]

I am questioning whether or not I want to take teh eternal mystic summit

[pale wolf]

not with grimbo

[alpine basalt]

ah good point

[languid kite]

can I Show yall smth cool I made

[cloud sinew]

nah

[cedar shell]

do it

now.

[alpine basalt]

oh you love to see it

[languid kite]

I made an IRL Balatro Playing Card Mat!

[cedar shell]

cool!

[cloud sinew]

how do you have 9 handsize

[languid kite]

juggler

[white zodiac]

nice blueprint placement

[languid kite]

wait SHIT

[alpine basalt]

smh you're throwing copy jimbo

[cloud sinew]

its for minimum score ofc

[willow frost]

10 handsize soon

[cloud sinew]

small blind of ante 1 & round 1? how do you have jokers

[alpine basalt]

annnnddd this run is won (once I find a chip joker)

[white zodiac]

got some funny heiro glyph grabber tech

[cloud sinew]

it would be round 2 or higher

[languid kite]

-# it’s just supposed to be a prop

[alpine basalt]

very first standard after getting holo too we LOVE to see it

[willow frost]

shouldnt have shown it to discord lol

[soft mango]

Does skipping count as a round for the idol

[willow frost]

no

[soft mango]

Damn I might be screwed, idol hit the one card in the deck that isn't a king and I've got no money 😔

[viral raft]

nop

same with Bloodstone/Rebate

[soft mango]

Do I sell the idol since its doing nothing this round and pick up a third brainstorm?

And pray photo will be enough

[warm kindle]

did jokerless first try lol

got an early grim so just built into aces

[viral raft]

Well done

[warm kindle]

only challenge left that I think might be difficult is inflation

and cruelty

but shouldnt be too bad on white stake

[alpine basalt]

I could toss it all away for a photochad build but tbh why the hell would I do that when i don't have reroll voucher

[sinful vine]

Go for the straight flush man

[languid kite]

aight bet

also
the small blind sign is held on with magnets

I plan on making other things like big blind
boss blinds
And the shop sign

[sinful vine]

How did i get to ante 11 with a wee joker based plasma deck

[barren wigeon]

I've done one challenge and its 5 minute city

[soft mango]

Photo was not enough 😔, that run was going so well too, even found a negative showman

[barren wigeon]

Found a runner in like ante 2

[warm kindle]

ok lowkey I forgot u only get 3 joker slots 💀

[alpine basalt]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PACK HOLY SHIT

[idle haven]

another fun photochad run

[alpine basalt]

3 poly in one pack

[latent egret]

correct play is the gold seal too lol

[alpine basalt]

I disagree, correct play is the ace so I can strength it to a 2 for wee

[sinful vine]

I love wee joker

[idle haven]

I disagree, correct play is skip it reroll shop and buy the 8 ball in next rerol

[sinful vine]

Its a funny little thing

[idle haven]

I beat my first ever gold stake run with eternal madness and eternal photochad

It was wild

On checkered deck too

[alpine basalt]

JESUS CHRIST

[sinful vine]

Is it weird (i think) my first ever win was on black deck

[fading cobalt]

Xmult is overrated, just score e11 chips smh

[idle haven]

True

[fading cobalt]

Lucky 8 🙏

[idle haven]

1 bull with seven balatrillion dollars

[alpine basalt]

shit this run might have to pivot to a sock glass build

[idle haven]

8 ball

[fading cobalt]

Definitely not weird

Black deck isn't as hard as people make it sound

Its just the hardest among the 15 decks

[sinful vine]

Dont People say plasma is the easiest?

[latent egret]

not on gs lol

its top 4 hard on gs

[fading cobalt]

I personally think blue deck is the easiest

[alpine basalt]

wow that was close as shit

[fading cobalt]

Maybe ghost deck

[sinful vine]

I aint unlocked all the decks i think i need to beat orange stake and beat on 2 of the default decks

[latent egret]

dr spectered even starts his gold stake speedruns on plasma since its the less streakable one

[sinful vine]

I have a hard choice
One of three wraiths of ankh
Hmmmm

I think i skip yk

[tiny harbor]

[floral mural]

id expect black ngl

or is black just 2nd

[latent egret]

2nd

[hasty harness]

guys im trying to streak gs

[latent egret]

like you can get so much value on black that it’s less bad

[hasty harness]

going to tie my best rn

hopefully i get it done

[sinful vine]

What context exactly
Im just tryna finish off the collections

[floral mural]

plasma black green then nebula sounds foul ngl (im guessing those are the bad decks)

[latent egret]

but like early eternal mult scalers that solo carry on any deck are wayyy less good on plasma

[fading cobalt]

You asked about which choice to take and those choices require context of your build lol

[floral mural]

theyre technically still fine pickups for the xmult pivot but they cant do shit early

[sinful vine]

Wasnt focused on a build tbf

[latent egret]

early eternals being decent pickups on black really make it so much better

you just gotta have the balls to take them

[floral mural]

honestly im gonna sound crazy but the fact plasmas early relies so much on chips is why i hate it

[latent egret]

like an eternal sinful joker is a thing you can do and not need crazy luck to compensate

[floral mural]

finding chips isnt that easy and also invalidates a good chunk of jokers

like fib does way less on plasma then other decks for example

[latent egret]

agree, it feels bad to invalidate jokers

[jagged valve]

Does Hologram get fed by Midas Mask

[floral mural]

nope

midas modifies cards doesnt add them

[uncut slate]

the amount of +mult that's just useless on plasma is so sad

it doesn't feel like playing balatro

thinking about mickel coming back to post about "loosing again" with another plasma +mult build

[latent egret]

its even worse if you just came from spamming gs on any other deck

the only real fun run ive had on plasma was like green stake hiker+s&b

ended up with 700 chips on a king

[alpine basalt]

wow what a coupon tag

[tiny harbor]

i missclicked on a negative skip

i wish i was still a newb so i could enjoy this moment

[cloud sinew]

woah

definitely buy grabber if you can

[alpine basalt]

I did

[potent tree]

temperance value

[tiny harbor]

liquidation

[potent tree]

ah i see. rip

[tiny harbor]

rip

maybe it's gonna be a blueprint lol

[alpine basalt]

quick little update on the run, the baron came from a judgement lmao

[tiny harbor]

god rewarded you

[alpine basalt]

wouldn't exactly say that considering I didn't really want the baron but yeah ig

[crystal field]

heyy gold sticker time for baron

oh wait nvm

[alpine basalt]

its orange stake

[crystal field]

[brazen mango]

weird ass run

[lost vault]

the sell button aint enough i want him executed

[alpine basalt]

I wish it was gold sticker time for baron

[crystal field]

why chudstone

[brazen mango]

its just there

its also good

[crystal field]

for the foil?

ig foil is good yeah

[alpine basalt]

he's gone now I found a bloker and he was summarily executed dont worry

[lost vault]

hooray

[jagged valve]

Fastest Cavendish of my life 😭

[alpine basalt]

man its times like these where I curse my luck

[brazen mango]

are you saying blood stone is bad????

actually??

it seems really good

[alpine basalt]

yeah

[crystal field]

yeah its shit

lol

[lost vault]

thats like the soonest it can appear without heiro

[brazen mango]

really??????

if you get retriggers 1.5x mult can go crazy

[lost vault]

inconsistency sucks in balatro

[crystal field]

flushes also suck

[brazen mango]

true but if you get oops all sixes

[brazen mango]

i mainly play checkered deck

[crystal field]

so 2 joker slots to do what aj can do in 1 joker slot

[lost vault]

always “if” but never “is”

[brazen mango]

im really bad balatro

[willow frost]

holy crap

[brazen mango]

what is aj

[crystal field]

ancient joker

[brazen mango]

its good for late game

when the deck is fixed

right?

[lost vault]

no

[brazen mango]

but early game blood stone can go a long way

[hasty harness]

just tied my gold stake streak record

[crystal field]

@lunar zealot send the bloodstone screenshot

[hasty harness]

now can i beat it

[alpine basalt]

atp just get idol

[hasty harness]

🙏

[lost vault]

aj doesnt req a ton of deckfixing

mainly just thinning the deck

[jagged valve]

Don't think it counts

So yeah wow

[alpine basalt]

if your deck is fixed then idol is better, if its not aj is better

[dark cairn]

this is definitely the funniest gold stake win i've had so far https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lyrx46rYkT3fK394D?invite=cr-MSxEek8sMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

[brazen mango]

i didnt realize that my play style is so shit

it always works out for me

[dark cairn]

level 48 4oak

[lost vault]

u can do anything on whute stake

[cloud sinew]

if it always works then its not "shit"

which makes me think it doesnt always work, as you say...

[lost vault]

bloodstone quite literally doesnt always work

[crystal field]

i mean by design bloodstone works half of the time

which is not good

[brazen mango]

i had this run a while ago which was really cool

[willow frost]

i think this guy just took all our bloodstone triggers and kept them for himself

[brazen mango]

i got the blood stone

[dark cairn]

i'd like bloodstone more if it was guaranteed to give a smaller amount of xmult

[alpine basalt]

thats just a photochad

[dark cairn]

ik thatd make it way more boring but

[tiny harbor]

can't play hicard

[brazen mango]

and blood stone

[lost vault]

yeah

[dark cairn]

id rather not have to gamble every hand to stay alive

[brazen mango]

i had like level 48 flush

[lost vault]

its the only chance based gemstone joker

[brazen mango]

it was the farthest ive gotten

[cloud sinew]

relying on something entirely out of your control is more boring

[alpine basalt]

where you are copyign chad? you oughta be copying photo there

[brazen mango]

wait actually

[cloud sinew]

one on both is optimal there without enhancements

[lost vault]

i think bloodshit would be a lot better if it was like 1.25x

[brazen mango]

i though you should copy chad

[viral raft]

@pale wolf I add the borders Zeb, did i make it well or nah?

[alpine basalt]

yeah true

[viral raft]

imo they're ok

[lost vault]

its all contextual

u gots to balance them out

[brazen mango]

oh ok

[alpine basalt]

scoring wise it should be 2 photos 2 chads

[cloud sinew]

1.25x is the current EV of bloodstone, but it wouldnt whiff on you anymore which is huge

[wintry ice]

it always works on the difficulty where risk is non-existant

[lost vault]

why is wrath keys and gluttony bombs

[brazen mango]

i got two blood stones lol

cause i got a natural show man

[dark cairn]

i disagree but thats only because i find relying on something out of your control far more stressful

[brazen mango]

it was natrual negative

[dark cairn]

and i'd rather be bored than stressed

[brazen mango]

no tags

[alpine basalt]

2^2^5 vs 2^7, first is 2^10 >2^7

[viral raft]

sadly spades in isaac are keys, and wrath in isaac is the bomberman thing

[jagged cliff]

oh snap, bro making art

[cloud sinew]

its more stressful but its not engaging; there's nothing you can do about it which means it's not good game design

[brazen mango]

so waht do i do

[dark cairn]

yea which is why i said id prefer if it was changed

[brazen mango]

sell the blood stone take mail and rebate

[lost vault]

fair

[viral raft]

in balatro wrath is spades

so kinda shitty

[wintry ice]

i'd sell 4 fingers for rebate

[brazen mango]

ok

[wintry ice]

also value interest

[cloud sinew]

id sell showman

[viral raft]

atleast the colour pattern is good

[pale wolf]

I think it still needs to be a little more contrasty on the third one

[lost vault]

first mistake was taking showman

[wintry ice]

not having 25$ hurts economy a lot

[coral hill]

That swashbuckler carrying your run

[viral raft]

yeah, maybe more darker

[brazen mango]

HAHHAHAHA

[viral raft]

the lustly one looks cool to me

[brazen mango]

from the emporer

its max temperance

[crystal field]

the goats

use hermit first

[brazen mango]

no

thats stupid

[brittle tendon]

Never used Splash this was before

[crystal field]

?

how

[pale wolf]

You said it was Max temperance

[tiny harbor]

do i? (and risk for negative yorick)

[pale wolf]

it is not stupid to use hermit first when temperance is above hermit

[brazen mango]

yeah its 50 dollers

[wintry ice]

it is stupid to get 30$ more from a potential fool

[coral hill]

If you use temp last, a fool could appear

[brazen mango]

but i wouldnt get full value out of hermit

i have 15 dollers

[crystal field]

so you want your fool to give $20 instead of $50?

[tiny harbor]

it's a x15 yorick, absolutely needed

[alpine basalt]

I love trying to hunt down xmult

[wintry ice]

30$ > 5

[pale wolf]

You're losing $10 now for the potential of 50 in the future

also you'll have a lot of money

[brazen mango]

this is some high level gameplay

thanks yall

[tiny harbor]

help

[wintry ice]

i mean you have rebate so

[brittle tendon]

Negative mime is also good maybe just pop it

[tiny harbor]

mmmmh

[crystal field]

atleast you listen

[alpine basalt]

welp, rip rtb

[lost vault]

purr

[brittle tendon]

Heart of the cards baby

[alpine basalt]

greeded too hard with reserve

[tiny harbor]

[pale wolf]

quick math thats three hundred and forty.five cards discarded

[brittle tendon]

Damn you fucking hate that bus

[alpine basalt]

it was a nat neg tbh

the gift swash is doing the heavy lifting

[lost vault]

?

[brazen mango]

BRAINSTORM

[coral hill]

Swashbuckler carrying

[tiny harbor]

unlike my yorick

[crystal field]

impressive

[brazen mango]

i think i sell swash and rebait

sell mail and rebait*

[alpine basalt]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm temperance

[pale wolf]

im relly good at math

[brittle tendon]

Better get a milligram of X mult on that stat

[alpine basalt]

thats the goal lmao

I haven't found a single one

[pale wolf]

$ based xmult

[crystal field]

i used to be good at math

[lost vault]

34 cards discarded would be 2x mult

[crystal field]

ans then i started playong balatro 💔

[brazen mango]

i got foil on brainstorm lmfaooo

[brittle tendon]

Are you asking for pain

[brazen mango]

from wheel

[pale wolf]

345 - 13 is 332 cards discarded*

[brittle tendon]

I was good at maths, then I dropped from higher level to ordinary level and then I played balatro, helped my confidence in maths as a subject ngl

[crystal field]

i dont do math anymore

😃

[lost vault]

u said 34.5

[alpine basalt]

I do math anymore

[brittle tendon]

I do game design now so

[pale wolf]

prove it

[alpine basalt]

this is actually fucking crazy dude i've been rolling 30+ in every shop and not finding a single xmult

[wintry ice]

so you still do math

[lost vault]

frick you

[alpine basalt]

aside from baron 4x over ofc

[pale wolf]

no he gets chatGPT to

[crystal field]

using chatgpt instwad of a calculator……

😔

[tiny harbor]

if i don't get bean can i use that for glitch lmao?

[pale wolf]

I believe you actually can

[wintry ice]

you can

[tiny harbor]

i need to fix negative yorick incident

[unreal island]

i mean yeah some languages put the subject after the object or whatever idk

[wintry ice]

you get far less hand size though

[unreal island]

woah wait

i think i time traveled

[pale wolf]

You did that conversation was like an hour ago or more

[brittle tendon]

Wtf?

[wintry ice]

insane necropost

[pale wolf]

Discord will do that sometimes, it's happened to me several times in here

[wintry ice]

yea

[crystal field]

discorddd 😼

[tiny harbor]

beanless

[alpine basalt]

hm. this is a choice

[upbeat vine]

Do we when game will get new content?

[brazen mango]

do i swap blood stone for photograph

[crystal field]

not the worst

[alpine basalt]

thats the only xmult i've seen this run aside from fucking baron

[crystal field]

what would u replace

[tiny harbor]

waaaa
bean would have bean 4 instead of 5 lmao

[alpine basalt]

oops

lowest sell value + just supplementary

[crystal field]

u dont have an oops?..

[lost vault]

baaa latro

[humble gulch]

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[alpine basalt]

ah yeah I forgot I sold it for supernova last round cause I wasn't making otherwise

[lost vault]

you have no real jokers and will die ante 6

[alpine basalt]

the supernova is the answer cause it descales swash the least

[crystal field]

aghhh rochelle jordan ml

would do anything for a stuntman

[humble gulch]

I score 5,000 out of raw power

[lost vault]

actually it varies

[humble gulch]

I mean, without bloodstone

[lost vault]

oh

[alpine basalt]

no without bs you score like 1500

[hasty harness]

looks like im going to beat my gs stake win streak record

unless i sell like

really bad

with this joker lineup lol

[lost vault]

yea was gonna say

no way level 6 flush doing all that

[cloud sinew]

your base flush scores 1540, how do you have 5000 without bloodstone

[alpine basalt]

actually a little higher than that I suppose cause of the chips from cards

[tiny harbor]

no bean but at least

[crystal field]

and polychrome

[alpine basalt]

thats a big assumption though

[crystal field]

eeeh

[lost vault]

okay so more like 2.5k

roughly

[cloud sinew]

you score 3390 at most without bloodstone

thats with 50 chips from cards and 1.5x from polychrome

[alpine basalt]

actually holo would be better than poly at least for the first one no

[crystal field]

yes

[terse vale]

i’m thinking green

[crystal field]

both good

safer is grimbo

[cloud sinew]

what's in the shop

[alpine basalt]

hydrogen bomb v hydrogen bomb type choice

[hasty harness]

crazy nat negative lol

[terse vale]

perishable seltzer and rental eternal devious

[brazen mango]

BAHAHHAHAHA

[wintry ice]

i'd take green for safety

[brazen mango]

MY BEST LUCK EVER

WHAT DO IS ELL

[humble gulch]

Stop

[brazen mango]

I SELL

[crystal field]

BLOOODSTONE

[lost vault]

bbc carry

[alpine basalt]

byw bye chad?

[wintry ice]

though eternal rental devious with rebate would be fine

[crystal field]

😓

[brazen mango]

DO I HAVE THEM ALL COPY swash buckler?

[crystal field]

ya

[wintry ice]

safest option is selling bloodstone

[crystal field]

2 polychrome as xmult should be enough for white stake

[alpine basalt]

wheel actually just clutched up I woulda lost without it

[cursive prairie]

adn in the first shop is crazy

[crystal field]

huge

[alpine basalt]

just a little late there holo

[crystal field]

nebula deck getting dominated

[crystal field]

HE PMO

i havent seen hologram in a minute

[alpine basalt]

oh no what am I gonna do he disabled bungler

NOOOO NOW THEY DISABLED GIFt CARD

[tiny harbor]

silly

[alpine basalt]

NO AND NOW ITS BACK TO BUNGLER AGAIN

[hasty harness]

just beat my gold stake win streak record

😈

[alpine basalt]

[hasty harness]

Lucky idol build
Looks inside
Photochad

[alpine basalt]

all thanks to the coupon tag

[hasty harness]

ty i finished everything else so i really wanted to try and get a high gold stake streak

[hasty harness]

left it on purpose that way when i did my bean bug ante 39 run :p

didnt want my high score reset

[lost vault]

figures

[fading cobalt]

Nvm it pivoted to lucky idol all the way into ante 8

[crystal field]

idk about that part but

ggs

[alpine basalt]

nah it was

[crystal field]

mmmm

[humble gulch]

Well

[cursive prairie]

which one

[alpine basalt]

this is the coupon tag in question

[cursive prairie]

ballot or the guy with hat

[cloud sinew]

id take abstract

[cursive prairie]

u sure?

[alpine basalt]

yeah i'd take abstract as well

[cursive prairie]

i have the happy smile

ok

[alpine basalt]

we love a riff raff start

[cursive prairie]

i will pick that one

oh

i can pick

another one

[crystal field]

you can 2

yeah mega pack

[cursive prairie]

yes

[crystal field]

chad

[cursive prairie]

sire

sure

[crystal field]

lucky you

[crystal field]

we???

(me)

[cursive prairie]

should i pick that one

and play only pairs

[alpine basalt]

well I could do something funny here

[crystal field]

yea say bye to trio

[cursive prairie]

sure

[crystal field]

and eventually smile too

[cursive prairie]

ok ok

[alpine basalt]

double riff raff would go hard

[tiny harbor]

i bought a burglar for money

[alpine basalt]

or I could save the invis to try and sticker it

[crystal field]

it genuinely would not i think

[hasty harness]

and thats how my 4 win gold stake streak ends

💀

i had 2 discards

and didnt draw a pair

[cursive prairie]

u won

u only need 46 points

[swift tundra]

how many did you discard each time?

[cloud sinew]

the hand wont score because of the boss blind effect

[cursive prairie]

o

[hasty harness]

discarded based off of what i had left in my deck

[cursive prairie]

i noticed

[alpine basalt]

well now.

[hasty harness]

just got unlucky

[alpine basalt]

I could, especially on nebula deck

I think I will actually

[cursive prairie]

i only do 8k with pairs

how can i upgrade it

should i buy it?

[tranquil cedar]

I WAS PLAYING DUSK AND I MESSED UP THE DAMN NUMBER UGHHH

[alpine basalt]

if this managed to get to the end (which in fairness is possible if unlikely, that would be 5 new stickers including some annoying ones

[cursive prairie]

ah hablas español

pense que era el unico yo

[cloud sinew]

balatro players losing to a comprehension check

[cloud sinew]

english only please

[cursive prairie]

:(

[tranquil cedar]

you can't expect me to read I'm a balatro player

shit wrong reply

sorry

[tranquil cedar]

you can't expect me to read I'm a balatro player

[tranquil cedar]

#1402007781128536174

[cursive prairie]

nobody talk there

[supple veldt]

man

the big black deck is fucking me a lot harder than i expected it to

[hasty harness]

black deck is evil

[wintry ice]

not necessary

[white zodiac]

the which wich employee molested my sandwich with nonconsentual black olives

[supple veldt]

purple was rough, orange only took 1 try

gold is murphy's lawing me

[lavish compass]

getting FUCKED by purple stake

[pale wolf]

I tell myself I'm going to watch the first balatro video I scroll across, I click on the first one I see, it's a small Creator with only a few hundred views cool, it is white stake nebula

[hasty harness]

i mean

orange and gold r pretty much the same

rentals arent that bad usually

they can even be helpful

[pale wolf]

they make the early game harder which is the most important part of it

[ripe iris]

is it worth it

[hasty harness]

true especially on black deck

[jagged valve]

Roffle making several questionable choices in his runs

[hasty harness]

i think you'll just die ngl

2 rentals

[ripe iris]

i can probably still survive through this ante

[hasty harness]

and u need to scale constellation with money

[ripe iris]

yeah

but its a constellation

[tiny harbor]

[hasty harness]

yeah but it'll get to a point

[ripe iris]

and the planet voucher is in shop

[hasty harness]

where ur gonna die

from lack of money

[ripe iris]

maybe i just pray for a rebate

[hasty harness]

rebate always saves me from bad decision making

:p

[ripe iris]

im gonna need econ anyways so taking another rental wont harm me

[alpine basalt]

man decided to try hold-R-ing for a god start skip and damn shits boring

[hasty harness]

rip the ecto hit yorick

[ripe iris]

this is the type of thinking that gets me killed

[hasty harness]

unless its nat negative

[tiny harbor]

it was 1 out of 3

[hasty harness]

😔

[supple veldt]

rental tag being plastered on all of my early jokers is making it very difficult to actually get past ante 4

perma 0 money

[tiny harbor]

even yorick is sad for me

[pale wolf]

I think it would be cool if some Jokers could not have the rental tag

Like credit card

[hasty harness]

worst feeling is getting a + mult scaler first shop and seeing it being rental

[tiny harbor]

but eternal egg is fine

[pale wolf]

How can you rent something for the same price as buying it outright, that's ridiculous

[pale wolf]

Yes

[supple veldt]

smile

[pale wolf]

eternal egg is even correct sometimes already

[fervent wolf]

What a niche use for stencil

[supple veldt]

i could carry the rental foil gluttenous all run

too bad it's also perishable

sigh

[pale wolf]

I love brainstorming BBC

[tiny harbor]

i can just swap the 2 copyers before collecting gold cards

[pale wolf]

You know about the tech where you can move the copies to mime after you play the last hand , while it is scoring?

[fervent wolf]

Who doesn't lol

[alpine basalt]

man trousers on nebula is big chilling

[cursive prairie]

BRO

big blind skip btw

skipping lover

[gaunt iron]

Hey peeps

[pale wolf]

hi

[gaunt iron]

I'm a bit stumped here

[tiny harbor]

hi

[pale wolf]

have you tried prosthetics

[gaunt iron]

Ah, no, not that way

I meant in the game

[tiny harbor]

whats your first reaction

[fervent wolf]

Try bootstraps

[tiny harbor]

@gaunt iron rate my yorick

[gaunt iron]

I'm having a hard time with early game hands

[pale wolf]

what is your inquiry

[gaunt iron]

This yorick is Brutal

[pale wolf]

Like the first round?

[gaunt iron]

More like first Ante

[supple veldt]

now im just tilting into stupid mistakes, cba

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/3P5fzcsuy2Q?si=gIfgrbsc_dnriPkt

[tiny harbor]

wrong
having this pretty much means my run is doomed

[gaunt iron]

Why?

[pale wolf]

I don't know why either

[tiny harbor]

because i used an ectoplasm (-1 hand size) on a yorick

[gaunt iron]

Oh

[pale wolf]

well

Should have sold

[tiny harbor]

nah, it was already a x15 yorick

[lost vault]

would it be better to not have it

[tiny harbor]

you were here during the incident btw

[tiny harbor]

and have 1 more hand size yes

[gaunt iron]

Solution: Cryptid Exotic joker that pulls the entire deck to your hand

[lost vault]

shouldve thought of that when u took ecto

[lost vault]

i hate that one hes so boring

[pale wolf]

anyways @gaunt iron That video should help

[alpine basalt]

man rentals SMOTHER econ so bad bro

didn't buy a single thing in 5 shops in a row and couldn't get econ rolling cause of a single rental joker

[tiny harbor]

these beginners always playing flushes should all watch it

[pale wolf]

That's actually the previous video in the series

https://youtu.be/u5zjR-4vylg?si=YxGZIAxTRldVLxXE

[lost vault]

flushes are a good tool in ante 1

[alpine basalt]

my hero

[cursive prairie]

i always play flush in the first round

[lost vault]

gay burger

[pale wolf]

flush isn't always the best thing to draw for

[cursive prairie]

yes it is

in the first round

[lost vault]

nope

[cursive prairie]

ye

[pale wolf]

simply put, no it isn't.

[lost vault]

theres never something thats always good in balatro

[cursive prairie]

yes it is

[lost vault]

except like

cavendish

[pale wolf]

on abandoned, you're better off going for full house, and if you draw a three of a kind it's better to go for the full House as well most of the time

[alpine basalt]

me when I have Q,J,10,9, but discard for flushes with 3s

[cosmic sun]

dagger ate 50 egg

[gaunt iron]

Tbh same

[serene forge]

i know this post is a joke but im still getting brain damage from it

[lost vault]
