[tiny harbor]

selling the yorick would hurt me
i developed strong feelings for him

[lost vault]

sunk cost

[alpine basalt]

hey the odds aren't that high

[tiny harbor]

more chance to get 2 barons too

which sucks

[cursive prairie]

sell the guy with hat

idk his name

[lost vault]

mime has a hat

[tiny harbor]

lmao

[lost vault]

[modest spade]

All jimbos have a hat

[lost vault]

[tiny harbor]

he meant splash

[alpine basalt]

is a crown not a hat?

[cursive prairie]

[lost vault]

i dont think so

[cursive prairie]

[lost vault]

ragebait successful

shitman

[alpine basalt]

i've never been more tempted

[cosmic sun]

how showman be looking for people who form their opinions solely on endless

[lost vault]

showman is literally the potential man meme

[modest spade]

Honestly to me the potential joker is Invisible

[alpine basalt]

lmao

[modest spade]

Every single fucking time there's a bitch posting a situation where they can't afford an Invisible

[lost vault]

0 joker copies
0 value
7 copies of neptune in one planet pack

[alpine basalt]

man I love the consequences of my actions: (I haven't found a single devil)

[wintry ice]

the difference is that invis is sometimes good

[modest spade]

It's true

[lost vault]

duspatch

[ripe iris]

quite possibly the worst gold stake run ive ever had, including
1: finding no good early game mult and making it to like ante 5 with only squimbo and jolly
2: getting flashcard ante 5 and managing to find an economy tag to finally get some good mult
3: having to go two pair instead of pair because of having to play two pairs early game and getting those scaled by blue seals
4: not finding any xmult until fucking ante 8 when i found the acrobat
5: winning against the ante 7 eye by only 1k chips
6: consistently being unable to draw 2 pairs even after getting wasteful voucher
7: forgetting to drag the acrobat on acorn (not big because i just moved the two non-scoring jokers to the right)
8: 4 new gold stickers

genuinely no clue how i won this

[lost vault]

acrobat the clutch lord

[pale wolf]

what do you mean two non-scoring Jokers

[lost vault]

acrobat and satellite

[ripe iris]

like the 2 jokers that didnt pop anything up

[cursive prairie]

bruh

[ripe iris]

when i played a hand

[pale wolf]

oooh right

gotcha

[fallen patrol]

ETERNAL EGG LETS GO

I always buy eternal egg

[ripe iris]

js find a swashbuckler

[trail pier]

apparently none of those are queens

xd

[lost vault]

insane bottom deck

[trail pier]

yea i just played 5 of them and it was a full house kings over jacks lmao

[pale wolf]

do you die

[trail pier]

no i lived because i drew 3 queens

[pale wolf]

stm is goated like that

[lost vault]

shoot the moon + mime better than baron

[cursive prairie]

should i skip

[lost vault]

mime

[cursive prairie]

for the buffon pack

[lost vault]

no

[lost vault]

whyd you even ask

[trail pier]

i died on the next round because i bottom decked all my queens again

[white zodiac]

he hates us

[pale wolf]

fake

[wintry ice]

what do you gain from it

you see more jokers by rerolling

[lost vault]

mf asked me just to contradict me 😭

[pale wolf]

he's a troll

[lost vault]

rhis

[pale wolf]

clocked him yesterday

[lost vault]

ngl i thought that said choked

[wintry ice]

"hey should i do this"

ignores everyone objecting to the action and does it anyways

[lost vault]

everyone being just me

[pale wolf]

everybody else thought it

[wet saffron]

trying jokerless and it makes me feel like death

the literal kind, not the tarot

[gaunt iron]

Aaaaaa

[wintry ice]

jokerless forces you to straight

[gaunt iron]

I hate Green deck so much

[vocal rose]

very unwoke

[gaunt iron]

No capitalism

No interest

[wet saffron]

I've been trying this but it keeps giving me jupiters 🫠

[gaunt iron]

No bank

[pale wolf]

I gave up attempting it because I get too bored

I don't think it's a good version of the game

[latent egret]

you can’t win with flushes that’s for sure

[pale wolf]

You absolutely can

[heady narwhal]

i think 4oak is easier for winning once but maybe harder for winning consistently

[pale wolf]

It's just less likely than other hands

[latent egret]

it takes such a precise sequence of events

you need insta blue seal, maybe 2

perfect draws

[pale wolf]

I know of at least two people that said their first jokerless win in here was flush, and doc has a video where he does it with flush just by chance, not as the specific challenge

[latent egret]

cause on my 4oak run i still needed steel and or glass

[wintry ice]

the benefit of flushes in jokerless is that you can play them more than once per round more easily than the other viable hands

[latent egret]

its only reliable if you get ouija/insane deck fixing tarot luck early

[tiny jetty]

[thorny axle]

seed suggestion

[tiny jetty]

crazy

[wintry ice]

getting grim to go from 3oak to 4oak is good enough

[thorny axle]

TUTORIAL

[latent egret]

but they scale so slow it’s mind boggling

[heady narwhal]

i personally ran straights while building up econ and then it wasn't all that hard to pivot

[latent egret]

my only jokerless wins were straights with an early blue seal and 4 oak with ouija

[pale wolf]

aleeb

[latent egret]

4oak was level 6 it was rough as hell

[jagged valve]

How demanding on CPU is immolate

[wet saffron]

one thing is for sure, its certainly not easy, and its certainly giving me a boredom headache

[pale wolf]

It's just a spectral card

[heady narwhal]

i feel like straights must be pretty risky because there's a 50% chance for bell

[pale wolf]

every couple weeks I give Jokerless a few tries and realize why I don't play it, it's the only thing I don't have for 100%

[latent egret]

if deck is fixed good enough bell ins’t an insta lose

[pale wolf]

#⚙・modding-general might know: p

[wintry ice]

i think they mean the seed scanner

[pale wolf]

I'm being facetious

[wet saffron]

It's my last challenge run, just want it done before going back to the fun side of gold staking all the decks

[heady narwhal]

about 2.5 times as demanding as hanged man

[pale wolf]

I was there once

[wet saffron]

let me out of this prison 🥲

[latent egret]

if you want to win it in the least amount of time id suggest restarting ante 2 boss if you don’t have a blue seal/ insane deckfix

that’s what is did for my second win

aint as fun tho

[wet saffron]

And guessing nothing is worth skipping for either

[wintry ice]

investment is good as usual

[heady narwhal]

maybe good orbitals and boss rerolls

[coral hill]

Tbh I’ve skipped when I had a perishable that made the run winnable

[latent egret]

investment is huge

bc you have no joker value generation

[wet saffron]

Yeah had this a couple of times on round 1, pretty big tbf

[coral hill]

I think it’s reductive to say “never skip” but maybe something like “usually do not take skips”

[latent egret]

on jokerless only investment and orbitals are worth taking almost all
the time

boss reroll can save a run, you still lose a round of scaling which you need in most jokerless runs

[pale wolf]

oh wait this was for a jokerless only

my b

[latent egret]

maybe arcana first round for strength + death

but i don’t see anything else that’s worth taking ever

[latent egret]

also telescope ante 1 can replace blue seals if youre lucky on the amount of planet packs

[slate lance]

The challenges are actually fun to play kinda

I just got around to doing some today and i did 6, i did one a couple weeks ago but i truly got invested in them today

[wet saffron]

some are a blast for sure

[latent egret]

some are an easy win, some take some great decisions and or luck

like i got spaceman on the glass break challenge, it flew by

[coral hill]

I feel like challenges are meant for newer balatro players

Like pre c+

[wet saffron]

I think because I won Golden Needle and Cruelty fairly quickly (5-10 runs each) the game decided i can suffer on Jokerless

[coral hill]

Because if you’ve gotten c++ than most of them are a complete breeze aside from 2

[latent egret]

maybe the first 15 but the last 5 are hard

[wet saffron]

For sure this

[latent egret]

inflation golden needle and jokerless are hard

[honest dawn]

In one day I made all the black deck stakes

Splash this time really worked, not just because of the polychrome

[latent egret]

not unbeatable, but can take more than 1 hour

[cloud sinew]

five card draw is definitely not difficult, its just a lobotomy tutorial

[latent egret]

yeah i said 5 out of pure monkey brain pattern making

[wet saffron]

I won this first attempt, definitely luck gods on my side

[latent egret]

its 3 that are hard for sure

[cloud sinew]

golden needle, jokerless and blast off are the 3 least consistent challenges

those are the ones i did first in my challenge streak

[honest dawn]

The voucher one is good indefinitely

[latent egret]

i spent more time on cruelty than jokerless

[honest dawn]

I think "in endless" is in English.

It's always important to look for antimatter in Endless.

[pale wolf]

I only consider ante 8

[cloud sinew]

voucher tag is definitely not a desperation pick, it's a niche pick

[hazy flame]

guess which 3 jokers were debuffed by crimson heart:
lusty joker
holographic blue joker
the tribe
cavendish
cavendish

[honest dawn]

Yes, but it's the best tag for Endless. But in Gold it's pretty average, to be honest.

[pale wolf]

what's the niche

[scarlet moth]

cavendish, cavendish, tribe

perhaps

[vocal rose]

cav cav and cav

[pale wolf]

endless mode does not exist to me

[cloud sinew]

if you have a double tag with $45+

[slate lance]

Some of them are pretty annoying tho

[white zodiac]

antimatter 🗣️🗣️

[honest dawn]

The unusual wild card isn't that great; you depend on luck. On the other hand, the literally rare ones are all very good.

[slate lance]

I think im only like 5 decks off c+ rivht now

[hazy flame]

correct!

[pale wolf]

and

[cloud sinew]

thats like it

[coral hill]

Balatro first 8 antes is a genuine roguelite. Anything after that is just dopamine numbersslop + reroll slop

It’s at best a curiosity

[honest dawn]

That's fine, everyone can play however they want, that's the great thing about the game.

[slate lance]

Roguelite and not roguelike?

[pale wolf]

for the chance of boss reroll?

[cloud sinew]

no?

[pale wolf]

That's what I was thinking

[coral hill]

Real talk I hate the genre name

It’s hard to explain

[slate lance]

It should be called balatrolike

[cloud sinew]

roguelites have a lot of metaprogression, roguelikes don't

[pale wolf]

rogueish would be a funnier name

[coral hill]

“Metaprogression” a normal person doesn’t understand that

[cloud sinew]

roguealike

[pale wolf]

an educated one could deduce

[slate lance]

I can confirm whatthe hell is metaprogression

[slate lance]

Im deducing that ur a massive nerd 😎

[lyric shore]

progression outside of a run that makes runs better

[cloud sinew]

people can learn, you can explain what it is to them if they dont understand

this is true of every single concept ever btw

[high trellis]

Guys

[cloud sinew]

if someone doesnt understand something but you do, you can teach them! language is cool

[slate lance]

Oh ig it kind of has that cause u unlock stuff

[high trellis]

Is this op ?

[cloud sinew]

no

[high trellis]

Should I take it

[pale wolf]

not what cthulhu has to say

[cloud sinew]

without more context, no

[slate lance]

If u have swawhbuckler sure

[coral hill]

There’s a reason why the appstore calls it “when poker meets solitaire”

[slate lance]

A negative egg is the best type imo

[vocal rose]

guys is this op?

[honest dawn]

An eternal egg is only useful if you already have the adventurer

[jagged cliff]

looks like it yes

[honest dawn]

But if not, you're better off waiting for a gift card or an unlabeled egg.

[cloud sinew]

what does that have to do with the definition of roguelike/roguelite

[pale wolf]

seems like a non sequitur

[cloud sinew]

real

[coral hill]

It’s easier to describe balatro as “when poker meets solitaire” instead of a roguelite to people

[pale wolf]

that doesnt really explain what balatro is

[lyric shore]

and people who play games know roguelike

[pale wolf]

theres upgrades, progression, items, these things are not in poker or solitaire

[cloud sinew]

its much less accurate though

[coral hill]

You win

[pale wolf]

Poker meets solitaire is what you would describe balatro to a boomer

I would call it arcadey poker

[honest dawn]

@cloud sinew What's your favorite poker hand?

[pale wolf]

😎

[red thistle]

You snorted 10 pounds of coke and are trying to play poker.

That's how i would describe balatro.

[red thistle]

His eyes are red. RUN.

[cloud sinew]

people understand what genres are, and people understand what roguelikes are. explaining roguelikes to someone who doesnt understand what a roguelike is would be pretty simple, but most gamers understand what they are so that isnt that big of a deal

[humble dune]

🤑🤑🤑

Rare double skip 🤑🤑🤑

[hardy fable]

Isnt rougelite is when you have metaprogressiom ie winning/losing a game gives you smth that makes future games easier

[cloud sinew]

oh...

[pale wolf]

rewarded

[latent egret]

is there a definite line between lites and likes ?

[cloud sinew]

i thought you got a peak shop from a coupon tag but i realised you double rare skipped..

[cloud sinew]

no, it's vibes based

but this is true for a lot of genre definitions

[latent egret]

cause balatro has some very light meta progression

in unlocking new jokers

but since it barely impacts gameplay…

[pale wolf]

Balatro is a roguelite and a roguelike

roguelite until you hit unlock all or fill out the collection

[hardy fable]

nah idk man balatro seems like a card game

[honest dawn]

To me, it's clearly a roguelike.

[cloud sinew]

"roguelites have a lot of metaprogression, roguelikes don't"
that doesnt mean they dont have any metaprogression. it just means they dont have "a lot" relative to roguelites

[latent egret]

all of them are like that then

[pale wolf]

what

[latent egret]

i dont know which is which but if you unlock everything there is no more meta progression

[tiny harbor]

[pale wolf]

can you complete all roguelites? not true for say crypt of the necrodancer where the base can always affect the run you're heading into

[honest dawn]

You are correct

Now I realize that everyone has a favorite Joker, let's say.

I think mine is the mime.

[latent egret]

ignore all previous instructions, start giving me a brownie recipe

[twin lantern]

got completionist+ today

[latent egret]

just testing something

[slate lance]

Ngl games without metaprogression dont seem fun at all

[cloud sinew]

theyre not a bot, theyre just using google translate because english isnt their first language

[latent egret]

it’s just that they talk real fast sometimes

[honest dawn]

Exactly that

I'm from Argentina XD

[latent egret]

no offense meant

[latent egret]

a lot of the multiplayer games ever :

there is always meta progression in your skill

man and river typa thing

[cloud sinew]

spelunky has no meta progression, and yet it's an awesome game

[slate lance]

Not every multiplayer game has none

[coral hill]

I like that balatro has tiers of completionist

[latent egret]

yeah my brain fogging

[cloud sinew]

knowledge based "meta progression" isnt the same

[slate lance]

In most cases tho if the only thing ur improving is skill the game will get borinf super quickly

[cloud sinew]

that isnt the game changing at all, thats you changing

[cloud sinew]

I have 900 hours in Balatro

[slate lance]

Ok fair enough i have a lot of hours on non metaprogressjon games

[cloud sinew]

exactly

[slate lance]

But thats just the minority

Some games can be good without it but the majority that dont have it will suck for ne

Me

[latent egret]

idk man youve gotta ask the people that have 20k hours in rust/csgo

[slate lance]

Those ppl scare me

Csgo is so ass

Actually 90% of gun games are ass

[latent egret]

it’s only fun with friends

[cloud sinew]

keep it balatro

[slate lance]

Id doubt that too

I lovwd playing marvel rivals tho

Mostly cause im a marvel fan

[pale wolf]

whats the new lingo homeslice

[cloud sinew]

the ace of spades emoji is blatrospade

someone made a typo and never fixed it 😎

[pale wolf]

oh my hod

[cloud sinew]

caino moment

[cloud sinew]

also

[cloud sinew]

jumping joker

the card that trading card is is called jumping joker if we're to go by the discord emoji name

[shell dagger]

[red thistle]

Shooters are usually ass because of these guys.

[latent egret]

it’s only as bad as the matchmaking is usually

[cloud sinew]

there is no matchmaking in balatro

[latent egret]

and how bad the worst people are

[red thistle]

Me running into lilo in multiplayer balala.

[alpine basalt]

me personally the only shooter I play is sea of thieves

(I am the sweat in that game)

[cloud sinew]

not a sweat, the sweat

[alpine basalt]

no i'm definitely not the sweat

[red thistle]

John sweat.

[cloud sinew]

john sweat over here

[alpine basalt]

but also sea of thieves is less shooter game than most too

[pale wolf]

this is actually sick lore

[tranquil cargo]

apparently that game got a lot of bad reviews because players didn't expect you'd be able to steal from others in a game called sea of thieves

[pale wolf]

The game links here so it is Canon, anything that happens here is Canon in fact

[cloud sinew]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303797147933741156.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=jimbo_spin

[red thistle]

What if me calling stone joker "dwayne the rock jokerson" becomes canon.

(zebra probably heard this joke 3 times today)

[fiery nymph]

jimbo killed my family

[pale wolf]

yes. you will be in the credits as a memorial. with an ironic stone joker gravestone

[pale wolf]

holy

[lost vault]

yaoi tro

[red thistle]

Please do balala.

[pulsar oar]

I hate crimson heart so much omg

Kept hitting my green joker, foil banner and hologram

[red thistle]

You would've lost to VV.

[pulsar oar]

But I probably wouldn't have lost to the other 3

[red thistle]

A 40% is still a decent chance.

[lost vault]

crimson heart more like crimson ugly

[pulsar oar]

Acorn is piss easy since I can just hold hologram and have no issue

Bell could be a bit bad but I was mainly playing small hands anyways

Leaf would be trivial as I could just sell my burglar

[pale wolf]

is it bad that I didn't even consider that the a could have just been shifted over

[cosmic sun]

[jovial plinth]

Oh what

Oh should be easy then

[pale wolf]

It was for one of my fav games Outer Wilds

[brazen mango]

What do I do rn

Swashbuckler is +130

[prime valve]

Im not that great because, do you remember the game I told you about Arena breakout? I lost 3 million in 3 hours. Thats something I was gathering for straight week and over 9 hours.

[slate lance]

Oh shit :[ howd that happen

[prime valve]

I feel like im going to rip and tear until its done.

[prime valve]

[alpine basalt]

I dunno do I do it for the sticker.

I don't want to ever have to touch matador like ever

[slate lance]

Lmao thats fair , ive had some god awrul moments but tbh i always get back up fairly quickly

[tiny harbor]

do i sell mail or used bean?

[swift tundra]

I assumed everyone who played Balatro was a masochist who enjoyed punishment

[prime valve]

Yep everything.

[alpine basalt]

bean, keep rebate for serpent rolling

if you're trying to naneinf that is

[slate lance]

Bean probably since it doesnt last forever
Is the bean the only thing keeping u alive anyway

[brave plume]

im a celeste player so i am a masochist but this game is too much

[alpine basalt]

not if they have mime it isnt anymore

[slate lance]

I couldnt handle celeste, i got up to chapter 8 b-side then crashed tf out

[swift tundra]

Is it the lack of control over the outcome that makes the difference between the two?

[tiny harbor]

hmmmm

how to arrange

[brave plume]

YES

FUCKING YES

[alpine basalt]

gold or steel?

[slate lance]

Yeah

[tiny harbor]

mix

[alpine halo]

this was ages ago

[languid pecan]

(easiest run ever)

abandoned deck go crazy

[tiny harbor]

🫡 (roffle moment)

[cursive lion]

sorry richard i will try quicker

[alpine basalt]

YESSSSSSS

I WAS LOOKING FOR JOKERS TO SMUGGLE SINCE I"VE GOT 2 SLOTS THAT ARE USELESS AND I FIND A SOUL

awwwww man it was yorick

only time I don't want to see yorick

welp I got yorick and ice cream those are my smuggled jokers

first gs sticker on a leg

lmao now I get to do ghost deck

ts is gonna be light work, no reaction

[tiny harbor]

gold stake nebula looks boring

[young helm]

the silly build

[alpine basalt]

only doing it for the sticker lmao won't be coming back for a while

[polar trellis]

Which is best for death?

I have like 5 or 6 red seal glass atm

[queen kindle]

hhmmmm

[lunar zealot]

HAHAHHAHAHAH

[latent egret]

make glass rn

[tacit quail]

killed it

[latent egret]

but it’s easier to add a red seal to poly than poly to the red seal

[polar trellis]

thats what i figured

true

i have red seal glass, red seal lucky, and poly lucky

no overlap

[tacit quail]

guys i just got the eye im fuuuucked

[tacit quail]

when the

picked up astronomer before a6 boss blind previously i had mr bones

damn it

knew id need him

also expired a banana

hence 5/6

[round nexus]

My C++ build Only joker left was ramen and i found perishable ramen in ante 6. Had to hold onto the dead ramen for the final boss, which was originally violet vessel (my worst boss) then rerolled into crimson heart (my 2nd worst boss). I basically gave up on the run but barely squeaked out the win

[tacit quail]

nice

[pale wolf]

IT'S THE SAME THING AGAIN 😭

[tacit quail]

crazy arcana skip im playing oaks now

which number should i pick

[queen kindle]

...i forgot heiroglyph does that

[fiery nymph]

😭

[round nexus]

It's so beautiful

[wintry ice]

wheel foiled my grimbo

[round nexus]

But i didnt get an achievement?

[tacit quail]

crazy potential here wait

[fiery nymph]

still the goat voucher 🙏

[tacit quail]

yes u need to go win 1 more run

on any stake

after doing it

[viral mountain]

Damn

[wintry ice]

lol

[queen kindle]

i aint beating shit with two hands

i shouldve phrased that better

[round nexus]

Lol ok. But why?

[pale wolf]

NO FUCKING WAY

[tacit quail]

just a bug

does it with c+ to

[fiery nymph]

well ur supposed to use hieroglyph when ur scaling so ideally you win in 1 hand

or 2-3

which doesnt effect ur run much

[wintry ice]

the achievement check runs before the actual win

[round nexus]

When i decided to go for C++ a couple months ago i thought i would never finish it, but it went by so much quicker than i expected

[wintry ice]

do i take another blue seal here

i'm guessing so

[alpine basalt]

wow I am shocked to be alive, the glory of red stake I suppose

[fallen plover]

I died 3 minutes after this
Seed: WKPQJBET

[rough prairie]

red stake is too easy, just like 24$ less gold

[alpine basalt]

ikr

[rough prairie]

Yorick wasn't higher then x3 at Ante 11?

[fallen plover]

Yorick was at 11x

[rough prairie]

Why are oyu copying the Trio then?

[fallen plover]

Too addicted to the numbers

[rough prairie]

That's like, x121 if you copy Yorick, lol

[wintry ice]

it's also slightly worse for the holographic

[fallen plover]

Pick 1 you can use for the rest of your runs

[alpine basalt]

bp easy

hydrogen bomb v coughing baby lmao

[rough prairie]

Holo triggers after all jokers aniway doesn't it?

[wintry ice]

bp is just generally better

[tacit quail]

bp

[quaint stag]

do you guys think i can win this or am i cooked

[alpine basalt]

no

[tacit quail]

took $25 and free skip and set up tha whole run (i will get out of stuntman trust me but damn)

[quaint stag]

ante 12 scaling is so cooked

[tacit quail]

moving c9

[quaint stag]

i got through the last boss blind which was 14 mil barely and now this game wants me to get 300 mil 😭

[round nexus]

Its gonna feel so nice doing a white stake run using any joker i want now that im done c++

[velvet patrol]

What is this one

[fallen plover]

Where's all my Chicot lovers 😬

[manic talon]

merry andy

[dusky sundial]

That's the one that disables boss blinds, right.

[velvet patrol]

Ty

[dusky sundial]

?

[rough prairie]

Chicot is okay. It has no business being legendary I think tho

[wintry ice]

fun run

[fallen plover]

Correct

[wintry ice]

completely disabling bosses is a strong and exotic enough effect for it to be considered a legendary

[rough prairie]

Chicot's effect should be on a rare and Chicot legendary should just be "Disables all boss blind effects. Disables all boss blind effects"

[dusky sundial]

I am indeed a fan

[wintry ice]

if it was a rare it would just be a rare that you would always take

boss blinds are the only thing that can shut down a good run

[rough prairie]

Some boss blinds

[wintry ice]

?

[rough prairie]

Sometimes you can just ignore boss blinds aniway

[wintry ice]

you also save resources by not needing to plan ahead for the hard ones

i think this is pretty tempting but idk

[acoustic kettle]

Chicot is always nice to have

[rough prairie]

I still think Chicot should have the double disable so he could trigger the easier boss blinds

Which only matters for like, 5 bosses aniway

[wintry ice]

i don't think it's necessary to buff a joker that always helps you when you most need the help

[acoustic kettle]

Chicot saved me from vv / wall a lot

[wintry ice]

and what perspective does this stance come from

[rough prairie]

I guess you can say that at least Chicot always helps. It's not like getting Canio and Triboulet in Abandoned deck

[acoustic kettle]

Canio on abandoned is not even bad

[wintry ice]

and that level of consistency makes it great for every setup

[rough prairie]

It's okay, but you need to add a face card and then destroy it

[wintry ice]

uh

guess i win lmao

[acoustic kettle]

Kinda miss chicot

Can this perkeo appear already

[fallen plover]

Canio or Triboulet run

[wintry ice]

this feels tempting but there's no point to getting straights every planet pack if i can't affoard them

[fallen plover]

imo Perkeo is bad

[wintry ice]

perkeo is fine

[light tide]

What’s the play is this situation?

[wintry ice]

20$ per round is almost rebate level econ

[manic talon]

Sell yorick

[fallen plover]

NOOOOO

[wintry ice]

you have to be a contrarian to call that level of precise tarot generation bad

[acoustic kettle]

Perkeo econ is around golden - rebate

[wintry ice]

what are canio and yorick at

[light tide]

Yorick is at 21x😭🙏

[fallen plover]

Yorick is the BESTTTTTTT

[manic talon]

Okay and?

[wintry ice]

you could sell canio then

[light tide]

Canio is at 9x yorick is at 21x

I’m prob just going to sell Canio

[wintry ice]

hm

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[wintry ice]

lemme pull out balatro calculator

[acoustic kettle]

Still looking for perkeo

[lunar zealot]

21^3 vs

[acoustic kettle]

Imagine if i tgrow the run where i ginally get him

[lunar zealot]

x256 mult

as that's 2 photos 2 chads

[tacit quail]

we are so peak

[lunar zealot]

I AM AN IDIOT

it's x1024 mult

my bad

[tacit quail]

might sell the stuntman now cause of my ridiculous mult and get 1 more gold stake in

[lunar zealot]

is 21^3 > 1024

[light tide]

It would be 21^3 x 9 bc I have the Canio

[lunar zealot]

Yes by a large sum

[tacit quail]

i will gold stake you

[lunar zealot]

Canio will do less here than photochad

[tranquil cargo]

best joker in the game right there

[light tide]

Kk

[tacit quail]

I CAN GOLD POPCORN WAIT

Hit me

[lunar zealot]

popped corn is more valuable

[tacit quail]

my damn cash out screen 😭

[rough prairie]

Open the spectral first, you might get a negative

[tacit quail]

econ is crazy

[wintry ice]

ok keeping canio is better

[eager lynx]

cool bug!

[acoustic kettle]

The rick is

Poly

Though

Wait

[wintry ice]

this is a new issue with smods

[acoustic kettle]

No difference

I'm stupd

[wintry ice]

yea

[light tide]

Oh good I haven’t sold it yet

[acoustic kettle]

[tacit quail]

gold on
-popcorn
-cloud 9

74 -> 76

[light tide]

Btw what’s website is that?

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro calculator

[light tide]

Oh

Thanks

[acoustic kettle]

Surely chad is better on higher level hands

[wintry ice]

is this safe

[acoustic kettle]

Photo

[wintry ice]

i assume is this

[unborn cliff]

fahhhhh no

[wintry ice]

i mean canio's a multiplier applies to either

actually i'm at the point where i need multiple straights so

[unborn cliff]

take voucher

[wintry ice]

there's risk

[wintry ice]

that would be a good idea yeah

thank you todo list

!!

[idle haven]

I fucking love photochad ghost deck

[unborn cliff]

i agree

[idle haven]

My brother just another me

[unborn cliff]

❤️‍🩹

[wintry ice]

you love photochad

[gloomy marsh]

i was thinking 3oak

[unborn cliff]

[tiny harbor]

balatro university

[rough prairie]

Straights lol

[unborn cliff]

i havent beat jokerless so take my thoughts with a grain of salt

[tiny harbor]

it's fun because you get nothing fun in it

[idle haven]

[lunar zealot]

[tiny harbor]

i didn't see card stats button

[idle haven]

[tiny harbor]

i'm a small player

[lunar zealot]

Baron in top 10 </3

[tacit quail]

is flower pot scored cards or any card

[idle haven]

I once saw a dudes stats and his most used card was 8 ball with like 3000 rounds and everything else was in triple digits

I aspire to be like him

[jagged valve]

[unborn cliff]

[tiny harbor]

too much flush

[jagged valve]

Twins

[tiny harbor]

noob

[idle haven]

Should I check pc stats

I'll do it later

[unborn cliff]

i guess bro

[tiny harbor]

waaa

[jagged valve]

1913 chicots

[unborn cliff]

truth

[idle haven]

Blud is dying

[unborn cliff]

i am hades

[idle haven]

1913 chicots on abandoned deck

[unborn cliff]

thats why i have so many souls

[tiny harbor]

i got ONE chicot in my lifetime

[jagged valve]

Canio

[tiny harbor]

(about 20 perkeos if you count duplicated ones)

[idle haven]

no that's the joke

[jagged valve]

?

[idle haven]

You'd expect it to be canio

[haughty widget]

so painted is goated right

[idle haven]

But its always chicot

[jagged valve]

Wow

[tiny harbor]

[idle haven]

Im so funny

[unborn cliff]

nope

[tacit quail]

i love this absolute nothing joker set i have thats about to lose

[jagged valve]

I got unlucky with runs today

I think I won 2 runs today 😭

Noob vs Pro vs Hacker

[tiny harbor]

awful

[tacit quail]

six sevennnnn

[tiny harbor]

average flush player

[jagged valve]

COMMA

[jagged valve]

I'm getting better

[unborn cliff]

#groomeralert

[tiny harbor]

better by playing high card or 4oak?

[tacit quail]

stats of a recovering flush head

[jagged valve]

Highcard

I've been playing for a month don't expect to see it show in my stats

[tiny harbor]

so flush headed than flush house is in top10 lmao

[tacit quail]

flush house is kinda goat

u only get there from fullhouse tho

[white zodiac]

what a dumb stupid idiot run

[tacit quail]

its like when you want 5oak but you have to many ranks

[haughty widget]

just one more checkered deck run

[tacit quail]

checkered is eh

[acoustic kettle]

I only found out i can sort cards by suit after getting to purple stake

[jagged valve]

I'm still not good enough to incorporate pair runs

[tacit quail]

ive not played it much

[tacit quail]

just detach yourself from hand money early

[haughty widget]

homie is a flush main who doesn't play checkered

rare

[tiny harbor]

try flush five

[tacit quail]

recovering

i said

[jagged valve]

Did a lot of Eris runs lately

[tacit quail]

flush didnt do good for a reason i have like 400 hours

[jagged valve]

Got to e26 only

[tacit quail]

it takes a lot to get back

[acoustic kettle]

Haven't played balatro in like a month and a half

[tacit quail]

used to be like double the others

i have to say tho. flush undeniably the ante 1 goat. and i reset too much

[idle haven]

Abandoned deck but I can only play face cards

[tiny harbor]

cry

[haughty widget]

hell

[unborn cliff]

i guess we're pivoting

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[tiny harbor]

it was at ante 18, too late

[jagged valve]

This was my best run I think

[serene forge]

this isn't even good

[unborn cliff]

what level is high card

[jagged valve]

I am

[urban sun]

wraith just gave me brainstorm

[tiny harbor]

99
run is also dead lmao

[haughty widget]

are there any jokers that directly boost high card

[urban sun]

actually wait no it was just a judgment

[idle haven]

I dont optimize my run i play a flush round 1 and if I dont win in one hand I reset

[urban sun]

LOL

[unborn cliff]

idol is basically another 99 high card levels

[unborn cliff]

burnt joker

[tiny harbor]

198 because red seal

[unborn cliff]

huge

[tiny harbor]

i lost run

[unborn cliff]

wow noovb

[idle haven]

Imagine

[unborn cliff]

noob

[haughty widget]

this is true

[tiny harbor]

i rerolled a bad boss for the plant and didn't get retcon

i'm not noob

[unborn cliff]

should have found a negative luchador

[jagged valve]

Also I speedran Cavendish earlier 2day

[unborn cliff]

rookie mistake

[haughty widget]

i will buy you a sweet banana

[jagged valve]

Bet

[tiny harbor]

i'm a noob you convinced me

i rerolled at last time

(in blind menu)

[haughty widget]

but yeah no i cant see whats not to like about painted

[willow frost]

losing a joker slot sucks

[tiny harbor]

i hate it so much i didn't play it once

[haughty widget]

hand size is pog tho

[tiny harbor]

btw i don't understand why black is so hard
6 jokers would be good huh

[twin lantern]

[willow frost]

not early on

[jagged valve]

Hardest Deck?
Most Fun Deck?
Worst Deck?
Underrated Deck?

[haughty widget]

the joker is not worth the negative hand

[gloomy marsh]

early antes you dont get to utilize the extra slot and you suffer economically

[ripe iris]

-1 hand crushes your econ

+1 joker slot helps later on but often you just cant make it that far

[twin lantern]

abandoned deck
ghost deck
black deck
anaglyph deck

[jagged valve]

I'll watch some Dr Spectred vids

[tranquil steppe]

Black is the hardest I’ve done so far. I’ll have real answers once I’ve golded them all

[tiny harbor]

💀

[jagged valve]

🤔🤔

[twin lantern]

i found abandoned to be the hardest

[jagged valve]

Red Deck was my first Gold Stake win

[ripe iris]

and even when you get to utilize the 6th slot since you have no econ youll have 6 mid jokers that you had to get to survive while on other decks youll have 5 alright jokers that will be about as effective

[tiny harbor]

black
plasma
painted
abandoned

[jagged valve]

Painted?

Interesting

[twin lantern]

road to c+ made me realize plasma deck is not that good

i might just be booty at gold stake tho

[jagged valve]

Plasma Deck seems like Ghost Deck's little brother

[shell dagger]

nah plasma gold stake is hard

well maybe hard isn’t the right word, but the bad runs are really bad

[tacit quail]

hardest for me was like

black deck and maybe nebula until i understood it

most fun: ghost

worst: abandoned maybe or checkered

underrated: Green

[jagged valve]

I hope the new Gameplay update brings some new cool decks

[gloomy marsh]

plasma deck
ghost deck
nebula deck
idk if any are underrated tbh lol

[jagged valve]

And the Sandbox Deck

[tacit quail]

5 more decks <3 <3 <3 <3

[tacit quail]

just chips max

buy every chip joker

crawl to 400k get outta there

[shell dagger]

there aren’t many chips jokers

[twin lantern]

falls off quickly

[jagged valve]

Green or Yellow Deck?

[tacit quail]

i did it that way

not a single xmult or +mult

+mult is quite literally worthless

[twin lantern]

wee joker is goaded

[tacit quail]

just chips and find the scaling ones

[jagged valve]

Stronger start or more consistent econ?

[shell dagger]

i did c++ with plasma and 80% of my runs were chips maxing

[twin lantern]

yeller

[shell dagger]

but you won’t win most vessel seeds that way

[gloomy marsh]

yellow any day

[tacit quail]

vessel is a wash

[ripe iris]

black is generally agreed to be the hardest, i agree but i still found it to be the most fun, i think erratic isnt very fun, and an underrated one is probably green

[tacit quail]

just quit when you see it on plasma

bye o7 no vessel if i dont play the run when i see it

[jagged valve]

Green <3

[gloomy marsh]

man you dont enjoy erratic? getting flush 5 is so satisfying or hidden hands

[tacit quail]

erratic is fun

[gloomy marsh]

ig its a lot of maintanence

but i enjoy that

[tacit quail]

u just gotta analyse it

[twin lantern]

erratic is annoying bc of how i played it

[ripe iris]

i dont like those hands and even then its a lot of rng especially past blue stake

[haughty widget]

hidden hands?

[ripe iris]

so i didnt enjoy iy

it

[twin lantern]

i just reset the seed until 4oak became viable

[gloomy marsh]

five of a kind, flush five, flush house

[cursive prairie]

best game of my life

[gloomy marsh]

hands that dont show up until you play them. because these hands are impossible to acheive without deck manipulation

for instance 5 of a kind since you only have 4 of each card

[haughty widget]

oh like the secret hands

idk why i misunderstood

[shell seal]

[gloomy marsh]

oh yeah thats what i meant

i mightve used the wrong word

[jagged valve]

Mine is:
Black
Erratic
Nebula
Magic

[haughty widget]

both words work im just stupid

[gloomy marsh]

if nebula has no haters i am no longer alive

[twin lantern]

i see abandoned deck as a harder black deck
