i think i lost because of this boss blind
Truly the hardest bossblind ever
run ending
what if it shuffles the polychrome one to the first slot
imagine
i held it to put it at the end anyways
you will lose probably
Play a high card
do i use an enhanced card or not
they're all at 6.25x rn
now they're at 7.25x
thats a spade ace high card
high card is level 1
and the ace had no enhancements
Balatrodle
NO WAY
NO FCIKNGNW SY

BBC MY BELOVED
Anyone got tips on blue stake
okay so I'm never using mods again
just had to delete all my progress to make the game playable
YIPEEEEe
Scary & Sock carrying my early chips
shoutout to Sly +50 chips helping me beat the Plant
Campfire my goat got to 6x here
Past 6x
Also nat neg bus 🤑 tho my +mult was mostly red card still lol
do the rerolls reset each round?
if i dont reroll a round, then i reroll next round would that be the same items as the round before?
spoilers it
proceeds to say it
rude indeed
basically each ante has a shop queue, rerolling takes you to the next shop in that queue, not rerolling and instead just beating the next blind then entering the shop would give that same shop in the queue.
You get a new shop queue once you go up an ante
It isn't horrible
hey, must be a skill issue

surely
all you have to do is play a 5 card hand of only 1 suite. for a 5050 chance at only 1.5xmult before jokers
surely
It's fuckin terrible though you right
😡
Just use Ancient
Better skill dependent than pure luck
You can actually use skill issue if you fail an Ancient Run
Ancient Joker: Looks cool, has counterplay against suit debuff bosses, fun deckfixing minigame
Bloodstone: Ugly, folds to The Head, unreliable

Ancient also just feels better to use than Bloodstone imo
Though, it is instantly gratifying to use the Oops Bloodstone combo
Would you believe me if I said in my 400+ hours of gameplay I haven't found oopstone once
only requires 2 uncommon jokers to provide less xmult than photochad!!!
anyways. still funny how the reddit treats bloodstone as a top tier joker
I would
It took me until my second C++ to find out how fun Blackboard is
I ALWAYS ask myself "Do I wager my money on hearts for this?" When it comes to Bloodstone
But with Ancient
It's almost always an instant take
I say almost cuz I'm too pairs pilled to run flush decks all the time
blackboard is so goat
holy i open reddit and the first post is a consumable ranking
with magician in top tier and devil in the insta sell tier
and suite joker saying only hearts matter
gg
Send a link to this supposed list
I wanna be disgusted
genuinely how do you have devil in the free dollar group 😭 wtf
at worst it costs 3 and you use it on a card thats staying in your hand and it insta pays for itself
like i know its a meme, but the basis for the meme does show the actual skill level behind the poster lol
😭 i mean even when i was a white stake merchant i dont think i wouldve been like this like
I'd argue that this take is worse
Baron: Only works on Kings, 1.5x mult, rare, expensive, hard to use, stupid
Jimbo: 4 mult on all hands, common, simple to use, always there for you at the end of the run
Magician I'd actually agree is higher on the ranking
Also, them saying steels only works on Kings is fucking hilarious
i was fine with the magician take. its more that magician gets there with devil being where it is
I was about to get onto that
Not only saying that the other 3 don't matter, but the the worst suit is the best
imma give them the benefit of the doubt and HOPE 🙏 that this is them going super deep into the meme
hopefuly
surely
It has to be
i took a skip (from 40 something dollar btw)
Otherwise, I'm inclined to believe they don't even have half their collection unlocked
Because of this.
like the rest of the bad takes are like not memeable bad takes, they just bad. but the king one.... surely that was just a joke... surely
Oh hey, good achievement
putting steel on kings is a take someone gets when they watch roffle exclusively and never play the game
One of my favorites to unlock
For me, it's always the blue seal
No matter what
blue seal on what
Steels
yeah that's good
I steel a blue seal, though steel cards are still good on their own
It doesn't matter if it's king
With a good chunk of mult, multiplying that by 1.5x is still gonna be really good
blue seals my beloved
They're absurdly powerful
drspectred playing cryptid and his takeaway is "blue seals are too powerful"
I had a hilarious run when I was in VC actually
One of my friends who is still KIND OF new to the game
Criticized me for not duplicating a King
When I went for my 8s because I was trying out the full potential of 8ball
optimal play
I then explained that I wasn't running a Baron build
And that Baron isn't the only joker in the game
The reddit focuses too much on like card synergy ngl
new players only know about the exodia in balatro without regarding that the exodia is stupid
So, a couple rounds later, and a bunch of purple seal 8's later (I can't remember why I still kept my 8ball at that point)
Fucking Baron showed up in the shop
So I mockingly went
8 ball funny
"Oh hey! Look, a Baron!"
skip
He got excited and told me to take it
I took a couple seconds of silence
And then said "Anyways."
pfft
Reroll past it to get a free Blue seal
you should've like
I was playing ghost
That would've been funnier but I was rewarded for it with a nice Blue seal
and then ask him why baron didn't win the run for you
it would've been a good learning experience tbh
He learned
I coached him
He got his first Gold Stake a month ago when we were still in school
Like i rarely build for rank synergy lol
Maybe just face card econ
It took it my all not to completely backseat him but he made it hard by asking a question every time he took action
It was pretty funny looking back on me rerolling past a Baron after getting his hopes up though
Because he fuckin SCREAMED when I did it
Even now, I do still go for synergies but
I ask a question first before doing it
I dunno why I do this though
I ask myself a question before deciding
Think about it for a second
Could 9 and faces are the only real ones imo
I mean, synergies like Bloodstone, Photochad, Vamp Midas are good
The issue is, the likelihood of them appearing in the same run isn't always guaranteed
Yea. I mean like rank synergies
Oh, then that is more true
But the same thing applies
The reddit is so focused on "7 is so bad/3 has fib and hack!!!"
Synergies are still good, you just need the specifics to meet
ranks shouldnt matter whatever you get most of during a run thats what you use
Not the oddtodd value lmao
there is a "worst rank" due to lack of synergies etc but
it shouldnt matter like 9/10
Yea thats what i was trying to say exceot im bad at yapping 🗣️ 🔥
What matters is the card itself
im the better yapper
I got yap mogged
nah take the unbuffed ace for the speculative fib
But if I'm given an Ace with absolutely nothing on it, even if I have Fib AND scholar, I ain't taking that shit
yeah i mean the whole point of standard packs are seals
taking unbuffed things is stupid
And sometimes editions
only time where i'd take a measly enhanced card is probably with vampire
no seal or anything
You wouldn't believe me when I say I've seen players take unbuffed cards for the joker synergy
Well I meant Foil n stuff
a lot of editions usually arent worth it
I'd consider taking those
foil is cool
holographic can be great
it can be worth sometimes when you dont get deaths ever but you get many hung men/trading
all 3 of them
PLEASE narrow it down
not usually worth
Alot of what?
braincells
editions
Id take 9s if i have a cloud 9 tbh tho
on playing cards?
negative cards 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah but it's still an edition
are we talking about that, ray?
ray this isnt modded 😔
It's on the same list as foil
But am I wrong?
You can chalk it up to semantics
I'm not saying negative playing cards exists btw
Just that it's still considered an "Edition"
Also, it would work the same way as jokers, it'll just fuck with scoring
but its not a card edition
True but it's still an edition so I'd say there's still 4 of them
I've narrowed it down
I hate blue stake so damn much -1 discard is just damn stifling
Its just boring and restrictive
well time to pair spam for the rest of your days!!!
get ready.
Try your luck with hands that aren't 5 cards
I'm tired of pairs
Easily drawn hands are better when you have less discards
There's still others
Trousers are both fun and really really good
Shucks who'd'a thought
Hey man, I provided a viable solution
Though, Blue Stake is still on the lower end
painted deck for the rest of your days
It's kind of a difficulty curve yeah but know that it'll get worse
time to force straights buddy
You'll get used to it in time
It's just so boring and restrictive it solely limits the way that the game can get played
Me when LocalThunk
I can't tell if adding an extra 50 new vanilla jokers for the funny 200 number is gonna be good for the longevity of the game
That is quite alot of work to ask for one singular person though
Maybe not
I hate pair spams
Five card hands are the most fun for me
REVENGE IS MINE
It's not even a "oh -1 discard makes it too hard to win" it just makes it boring
Simple there are less jokers you can play with
Less hands you can play with
Less cards you can draw
Just all around less of the game that can be played
The gameplay in general
It makes the game harder in an unfun way
no shit but like
it just fucking kills some jokers
It doesn't even make it that much harder it just funnels you into the same playstyles
Fortune teller 54
well excuse me im so sorry for trying to play flushes when i was offered ancient joker and/or bloodstone
i'll go back to pair spamming mb game
You willing to spend a few of your time and luck for strengths and Baron?
Not really
Stakes doesn't specifically target jokers though
I don't see it surviving 13
flushes are just generally harder to make with -1 discard
Jokers that interact with 5 card hands just aren't as effective with -1 discard since those hands are less effective
That's the thing, the rest of the stakes just mixes up gameplay
Welp bye
Blue Stake targets some specific builds for seemingly no reason
endless requirements: stupidly large amounts of money generation, and ways to scale your xMult non linearly (easiest is Baron Mime)
given your econ, probably not unless you suddenly find a lot soon
If you take my suggestion, it's absolutely endless worthy
replace with -1 hand
But given that you're already ante 10
everything gets hella nerfed
It might be too late
That's not much better
I'd rather it just do something different
ignore the fact black deck becomes borderline unplayable
Not unique
-1 Hand is -1 Discard but worse (-$1 per)
i need to unlock stuntman how do i naneinf
Has LocalThunk explicitly said that Black Deck is meant as a challenge because I always see people say that it's meant as a challenge deck and I just don't feel like that's true
What if Blue Stake just says "Fuck you." To blind money and disables big blind mons
Wouldn't be too restrictive
You still get to keep your discards and hands
i feel like it could go either way
Right so I have a run here I'm struggling to think on how to improve
You're just gonna be taking more risk drawing your cards
i mean yeah its the hardest
Maybe disables hand money
Guys you got any tips for blue stake
To make it not as hard
but at the same time it's probably the 5th/6th deck you're unlocking
pairspam
I think it should still allow you to earn boss blind money
Go on
disables money
You've come at the perfect time Pennywise
no more income
What if Blue Stake lowers interest cap
Really?
Maybe like
Leftover hands no longer grants money
We are talking about rebalancing Blue Stake because it's a terrible fuckin stake lmfao
True
Also you can negate it by buying wasteless
That could work?
Which is not always guaranteed
I know the game has alot of odds but it's just not fun to play around your own luck
Hand money is one of the big reasons black deck being -1 hand is so rough is it not?
Well ye
2 Blueprints (One negative), 2 Brainstorm, Sock n Buskin, Idol, 2 Trib (One Negative), Dusk (Negative) and a deck full of Polychrome Glass king of hearts is what I have right now. I already have Anti matter and have used 2 ectoplasms so I can't use another one
This suggestion is not perfect but it's interesting no?
You can take a screenshot
Also, 2 demons are in chat rn
Interesting
No Hand Money basically turns the first shop into a tease
4$ in the first shop on every single deck
Except yellow and green
you get the buffon still
For my suggestion, only the blind reward is disabled
Yeah but then literally everything else in the shop is pointless
Can't get rid of hand money
You can still get hand money
Yeah that's not a good idea
I suggested that blue stake just do a Red stake
But disables big blind reward instead
Or maybe like half the boss blind reward
So you can still play around that change by relying on hand money instead
It's not completely restrictive, BossBlind reward still exists
And it's still on the lower side of stake difficulty
Maybe a new joker tag, akin to Eternal/Perishable/Rental
So I think it fits
The three we have is good enough
Stickers are on the top of the stake difficulty list
Blue Stake is still a lil early for those I think
Move all the stakes down one with blue effect deleted and then gold stake allows perishable eternals

Blue stake is after eternals
Purple is after Black
Move all stakes above blue
But yeah, I think just disabling big blind reward could be the fairest change?
And gold stake allows eternal perishable
It's still possible to play without being too restrictive and unfun
sonds like an economy tag simulator
You can still get enough money to buy more than a buffon
I would just increase the cost of things in the shop by a small amount, like $1 each
Rather than remove further income the player gets
I'm p sure old Orange stake used to be that
Or was it gold?
Actually, that change existed, just
WAYYY worse
There's a reason why it was changed
Inflation
orange increased booster pack price each ante
I would rather everything in the shop be $1 or $2 more that than -1 discard
What was old Gold Stake again?
-1 hand size
high card meta
Also yeah, this is terrible, I'm glad this was changed
yeah, I only got a single Gold stake win when that was the case
i am not paying 11 dollars for choose 1 of 2 cards
One booster pack in shop
Consensus on no big blind reward for Blue Stake?
Welp ante 12 boss, i took +1 joker -2 handsize
No
i do not like that
I want money
I'm asking if it's a good idea
it changes so much
That's fair
too restrictive in the first 2 antes
U were maybe off by 1 blind
But is it better than current blue stake?
Eh
honestly no
No
its worse
Non scaling price increase in shop > no big blind reward money
After some consideration, you might be right
No bb money might make skips more valuable
That is the one thing that made me rethink it
I don't like that idea
fullskipping now viable chat
It makes you wholly dependant on hand money and econ jokers, and there should be some base amount of income without those I feel
The Gremlin's suggestion about no hand money on the other hand, any consensus on that?

sounds relatively okay
Instead relying on interest money
wait no
I would personally not remove money generation any further
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1441650095555739830 i made some Joker ideas yesterday
Green Deck just ceased to exist lmfao
But maybe it'll be the only exception, but that would make the change completely pointless
Well green deck's is double
Morning chat
So, one less dollar
it can still give money but only 1$?
Shoot green deck anyway
doesnt that ruin the whole point tho
Green Deck allows for more aggressive spending
it feels so bad
Who actuakly likes green deck
Whats wrong with green deck :[
It'll just make Hands just as valuable as Discards
I hate it, you're right
As a green deck appreciator yes that ruins the point of it
i lowkey play some runs if i wanna turn my brain off
its decently fun and allows a marginally different playstyle
I'd say play Checkered if you want a truly braindead run
That deck is super piss easy
would ectoing my bloodstone be bad
I feel like we're missing some fun deck possibilities in game rn
i didnt say grab my brain and incinerate it
I don't like green because I like my interest money too much
Checkered deck put me into bad playing habits
U can't
i said turn it off
It's poly
You can't
I used it to beat all the stakes to unlock the decks now I barely play it
Ghost, Magic and Yellow is there too
these need some thought
Palsma
i guess i can keep the ecto for later
I found them to be thoughtless
That's only braindead in White stake (to be fair, every deck is braindead in White stake.)
Are all Balatro gameplay updates going to be free or is LocalThunk doing DLCs because he made it seem like a big deal that the next one is free
So how can I make this better, I just found an Invisible Joker so I'm considering selling Idol and looking for a natural negative one but the chance of that is so extremely low
Gold Stake Plasma lures you into a sense of false confidence and security, until it sucker punches you in ante 6
ante 4 and ante 6 scaling in general hit like a truck specifically
the rest of the antes are manageable most of the time
but these 2 antes are so, SO hard for some reason
getting bp/bs instead of idol/trib
It's insane to me that you're considering looking for a Nat negative Idol
That's a skip, look for an ecto if you haven't already
after that, getting baron and mime
So many of my runs die just to lack of means to destroy cards, like I just never get hang mans trading card or immolations
well just death everything
find money
tarot generation my beloved
I need to get deaths too
There is nothing else to do other than that. I can't ecto because it would make my hand size 3
If the game doesn't give me those things I can't destroy cards or fix my deck
Then this is where your run dies
This is why abandoned deck is my favorite deck
I know it's a shame
I mean I still have loads of time that's the thing
Ante 20 is a decent pitstop for Idol runs
I just don't think I can do anything else
And also perfect for Canio and Triboulet souls showing up
It can't survive past that anyways
I can probably get a bit further
I'm scoring E64
Ride the Bus is one of my most won with jokers because the Plant killed one run of mine when I started playing and I took that personally
Ante 24 hits like a goddamn truck
pivot to baron mime dna is the only thing you can do
The scale multiplies every ante past that point
By ante 29, you'll need to score about e100
Yea that's where I'll probably die. But right now I have time. I genuinely think going for a Negative Idol is the only play
Goodluck looking for it in a 1/150 chance
Invisible always hits something good
Best decks for each Legendary?
Perkeo for Ghost
Yorick for Red
Canio and Triboulet for Erratic with face cards
Chicot for idk most decks work
My assumptions ig
Trib may be plasma
Chicot is all decks
I know right 🤣. But you don't know unless you try
Chigoat
And a 1/2000 on the idol find on top of that
I'm more goater fr
That chance is increased due to it being negative
But prove me wrong
You might be luckier than I thought
https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers in three
Should I try playing these?
yes
Is there a non daily version?
is fun
no
just have to be proactive and not click spoilers
Its either that or other nat negatives at this point
It's generally a morning routine for me now
I thought there'd be a gamemode for it
I'll try one of these days
I wish, but maybe it would let you get too good at the game too fast
It looks fun
there aren't that many Jokers after all
These riddles weird
I mean, it's also kinda unfun when you have to spoiler tag an answer no?
no, that's the format of the game
every wordle like game is like this
There could be a randomizer option maybe
It's supposed to be daily challenges you compare between your friends
pls don't give chicot
IT GAVE CHICOT
Hey, you're playing high stakes
Take it with open arms
damn I hate getting rewarded
Boss blinds are nasty
Whatd be the best outcome from my invisible joker
would have much rather had a useless trib
Well i guess i shouldn't worry about the plant now
Tbh, I actually don't feel too excited getting legendaries??
I get excited about early legendaries
I don't see your deck using face cards
when my build is already established I'm like great even more winning I guess
- The Box (Rare-Legendary): Scoring cards permanently score ^2 Chip value if rank of all cards is equal to amount of cards played. (Destroyed after 2 Triggers)
Examples:
- 3 of 3s → 9 Chips each
- 5 of 5s (with +20 from Hiker) → 625 Chips each
How do we feel about this joker concept
Well, for luck yeah I get excited actually but what I mean is, I don't get too excited to get any of the 5 legendaries
head*
I just go "Ooo"
right my bad lmao
Not realism wise as to if it would get added or not, but balancing wise
If it's Chicot, I just give it my appreciation
Because I don't have to worry about playing around boss blinds
Would ^2 Chip on scoring cards be op
Yorick and Canio on the other hand?
Yorick is a free win
Canio is just
Anxiety
If it's negative I will never complain
chicot is cool because you get a free $10 at the start of ante 8 when the boss blind is acorn
But sometimes you just need the slot
There's still a chance you'll fumble it
The likelihood of a Legendary being negative is a bit too low
or you get to ignore Violet vessel sure
I know
also even if it is negative you still need to open up a slot for the legendary in the first place
Is that the effect of chicot on acorn?
It's pretty funny for me to ask
I'm saying you get to sell him because acorn is not a boss blind
Oh, that's actually true
Or 7 because you bought the discount voucher
But hey, you get it back once you use it
You got it back?
I got another brainstorm from invis
when i get chicot i tell myself it saved me against vessel and all the other bosses that would’ve killed me, even if I didn’t get them
no
Nah
What did you sell for it before hand?
maybe a brainstorm
You're dead if you sell sock btw lmao
hard ploughed by the bull
A brainstorm is my suggestion too
I sold idol for invis, invis hit brainstorm
Also copy some Idols I think
The bull was big
I have dusk
It's neg
almost 800 chips from the bull only
You'll die faster without that sock
Use Balatro Calculator for best outcome if you care so badly
If not I'd say Idol over a Brainstorm
General rule of thumb is, even out your retriggers and scoring
why? brainstorm can be anything, even a trib (which is the same as an idol)
Can Black Hole spectral cards appear in the shop with Ghost Deck or in spectral packs? Or only in planet packs?
immolate or ankh for potential chicot glitch
If you have 6 jokers, half for retriggers, half for scoring then even them out so it's 3 retriggers, 3 scoring
Not going to lie, all the endless runs I have seen in here have not made me want to play endless any more, if anything it's made me want to play it less
immolate
Probably immolate for the deckfix value
It gets triggered before I think? I could be wrong
Also, what purpose does double trading card serve?
I currently have 5 retriggers and 4 scoring
More money?
before what
You got three more dollars and that's it
It's silly
I don't ever play for endless, if I get a run that can get that far then I go for it, but most of the time after beating the final boss blind I start a new run
Then it's really funny that they got 2 of them
That's most gold stake runs
if let's say there was a matador and a judgment at the shop, can you get matador from the judgment
Before Trib
Not without showman
and why does that matter
I'm gonna try and push Painted Deck up the stakes
right right. Thanks.
You can Brainstorm it more effectively
game is awfully generous this run
what does more effectively mean
should i kill chicot or oops
mortively affect
It's fun to tell them a way to optimize it
It's tedious if you do it yourself
I won't play Endless just cuz someone else is
But I will try to help
When compared to the other outcome, more positive effects
I usually play endless if the build i got is fun
I guess i can come across idol again later when my deck is fully trimmed down
The order that triggers and x mult occurs does not matter, just the quantities involved
I've gotten bored of pushing a build in Gold Stake
Right
the point is multiplication is associative and commutative, it doesn’t matter what order you multiply things
trib and idol are identical scoring, brainstorm has more flexibility
It's funny how similar Trib and Idol is, one is just more useless
You want five scorers and four triggerers right? barring a lopsided distribution of glass and red seals
yes
i think brainstorm should be copying trib instead of s&b tho?
well yeah one is a legendary joker lmao
The other is an uncommon
It's funny how similar photograph and trib are
Idol doesn't need face cards, just requires total deck fixing
This is true
The similarity lies in their scoring, not their respective cards
If we had a Joker that counted every card as first played
I'm aware
photograph is better than trib
on abandoned
Still similar
idol is better than trib if you got a big wee
truth
Well yeah
Actually
I realised you're talking about it's rarity
But they said it's better on abandoned deck
How do you get more opportunities to deck fix... it's not like hang man comes along every round
wut
economy, keep interest up
More money = more tarot
Money is your lifeblood
It's where everything in the game can be obtained
purple seals are the second most important
It sounds obvious
Is rental vampires then
Trading Card you're the goat
Which is also bought by money!
MONEY FIXES EVERYTHING
Diet reverse hung man
ostensibly, if you aren't making enough money to even buy the packs then you are in a rough spot
Reverse econ wise
That would be because you are in debt because you thought Credit Card is a good take
i open every standard past interest
credit card should be rare and always negative
I open standard packs purely for the seals
I use credit card to reroll in the shop
never lucky
Credit cards where is my points bonus
You go through it's limit and realised you can't buy the blueprint you just rerolled into
And you impulsively sold credit card
To make space for it of course
The humble gift card i've been saving
Genius Balatro play
I watched Bricky do this btw
Sells all jokers for blueprint
I've never done that but I've absolutely done the impulsive "Sell Credit to make space" play
Negative Gift Card is better than Egg if you have enough jokers
Whats the odds of finding wee joker
For temperance
If Supernova was a Chips joker instead of a Mult joker, how many chips per [times hand has been played this run] would it need to have in order to not be horribly balanced in either direction?
I think just straight up better in general
Realizing that having a minus on your econ makes you not able to buy anything
Even if you don't have a lot of Jokers you will
By itself not really is it
Egg is one joker
soon
That's 5 dollar every round
Very nice temp value
And you don't lose it
Once you sell it
I'm adding onto it
I figure you'll probably get more Jokers even if you're completely empty
Which econ Joker is best at negative edition
I got a run with two Gift Cards the other day and it was really fun having the sell value of stuff just stack up, it's honestly nice econ being able to just hang onto a consumable for a while and sell it for $10 a little bit later
I C
Obvious would be rebate
But what he said
Mail in Rebate
Unless another joker conflicts with it
what do I get
I've fucking done this
Too many goddamn times
ttm is a good negative
passive income, can't be turned off by anything else, uncommon for BBC, gets better with vouchers
The best econ setup clearly
What's that again? I'm stupid when it comes to abbreviation
To the Moon
I would fib
To the moon shoot the moon synergy
Oh, I realised why I couldn't remember what that is
ok
Synergises with the order the most
I actually almost never pick To the moon
But on the rare occasion I do
It is a lot of money
First you go TTM, then you STM then you HTR with your Rocket
Omg soul
Especially with the interest vouchers
$5 with base interest
Cloud 9 is one of my favorite econ jokers
wooo temperance
I haven't given it enough love
I had a run with it with 30+ 9s in it and it was super sick
The humble cloud 9 round 1's shop in erratic deck with 0 nines
Duped a bunch of red seal lucky 9s with perkeo and cryptid
I wish there was a bugged erratic seed all nines
Considering you're in ante 16 already, there is no good hit
Also why is your deck still messy at ante 16??
I'm lazy
Fair.
My fatal error this run was duping immolations with my perkeo and erasing 60% of my deck like a dummy
ruination
I can see myself doing that
I am a moron
Auto immolation
I was a dude who used an ankh thinking nothing of it
Well the problem was I did that and got deck down to all 9s and like 30 cards, and then I started turning them into glass cards
And they all broke
Brain only processed the information when I accidentally clicked "Next round"
So I nuked my entire joker lineup and then permanently kept it that way
Egyptian Deck
My luck when I'm trying to survive with a glass numbered card before the plant bossblind
I hope LocalThunk maybe later on down the line adds new decks to the game
All cards are stone, start with an Ankh
I should learn how to mod the game and add mod decks
Decks I can actually get behind
How
Jokers are more popular for modding stuff
can you even fit more decks in the game
is developer
But that also means C++ becomes even more tedious

I would be down with six new decks
twice the jokers, double the C++ time
five more to fill it out to 20, and one to replace nebula
21 decks sounds like an absolute nightmare for C++
fuck it, make C+++ where you C++ a new stake
Nah
How would y'all buff nebula deck if you would
decks doesnt matter for C++
I would give it crystal Ball
Well to some people, they're gonna take the "Completionist" part of that seriously
only 20
6 more decks for C+ may or may not be awful depending on how ass the decks are
Must've fat fingered the 1
So it starts with 2 consumable slot but can't go higher than that with a further crystal ball
Do ya guys think you could be Dr specterd?
You can't get two crystal balls
He gives us his knowledge for that reason
Ragebait
Also, you're based for using my favorite gym leader as your pfp
What is going on here
I think I could but it would take me a minute
it would put nebula halfway towards two fun ish vouchers while also supplementing the complete hamstringing that it does for observatory already
I always forget that nebula exists
When I'm doing C++, I go "Oh right, this deck exists"
Oh thank you! She's my favorite gen 8 character by far
Crystal ball is the interesting fix, just removing the penalty is the easy fix
That's probably better than how I was gonna buff it
Nebula Deck will never be touched
Gen 8 is far from my favorite generation but I have an odd liking to that Gym leader
I was gonna have it start the run with a mega celestial pack skip tag
My favorite gen is 200% gen 7 pokemon ultra moon and sun is my favorite game ever
I grew up on gen 3 but I think Gen 5 is the best one
Based, though I'm kind of a purist since I always believed that Gens 1 to 5 will always be Pokémon's golden age
Gen 5 is pretty sweet
And I'm sad were never getting that back
I also think Gen 5 is the last good one
Absolutely, it was the last time Pokémon was bold
Talm bout sum kopenom
Do you know whats the name of the mod people use to calculate their chips before playing their hand?
New designs, more mature storylines, very daring gameplay decisions
I have no idea why I love it so much whenever I try to explain I just can't its just that weird nostalgia and feeling ya know?
It's just a very special game for me
I just think that the 3D models are lazy
I get ya, I'm the same with Emerald
and not artistically interesting
I think Legends Arceus did well enough on that department
I like Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver 😊
Gen 2 was awesome, it felt the most PACKED and content filled
Though if we exclude gen 7 then my favorite pokemon game is 100% gen 5 it was really damn fun
Honestly I only got into pokemon when gen 5 was out
The only gripe I have with gen 5 is not allowing any Pokémon outside of gen 5
But that is just a nitpick
Since it encourages getting to know the new ones
Well "New"
Holy shit, it's 15 years old
Though like the gen 5 pokemon are awesome
Dexit before dexit happened
I randomly found a cartridge of Emerald on my cousin's home and played it
But I absolutely hate it when pokemon like random pokemon had to be level 54 or something for the final stage like what were they even thinking??
no multiplicative joker
.
To be fair, that's always been a thing
Anyways, Balatro.
I got too nerdy
built for the walkie talkie 🔥
Not with random pokemon I want my fire bug to evolve faster
I love Pokémon
Volcarona warrants evolving at level 59 and that's abt it
But ye ya are right
I'll add you on the off chance you wanna talk more about it lol
Can we talk about Pokémon Balatro mod?
Trobala
Balala
How do you pronounce it
Never heard of it
I'm very funny and original
Do you pronounce it Balatro or Balatro
Creator said either
it looks like it has a lot of systems n stuff but im not a big modded guy
I pronuce it by saying poker rogue like
No wrong way to pronounce it
I think it's BA-la-tro but I don't remember
There is SO MUCH more to keep track off in the Pokémon mod
Baylatro
Yeah but the dev says you can pronounce it however
Did ya guys know balatro was inspired by European poker?!
However being the only 2 ways people have pronounced it
Thanks!
Ba-LA-tro hits the vibe harder imo
Guys
Baal-luh-throw
I actually dunno if it was inspired by that it's just a guess
baylaytro
Someone needs our help
Enemies of Jimbo
It's general base piece is Poker
#🎙・server-chat someone is asking for a mod
Balatro Discord, to the RESCUE!
If I was a giant mega evil game dev company like Nintendo or EA I would fully embrace that in my branding and advertising
I thought it was inspired by monopoly 
EA is redeeming themselves with Battlefield 6
That shouldn't be how that works
I can't believe I can say that with factual evidence
I know
And for me it's not how that works
Honestly nintendo has two sides the evil corporation and the side that actually makes good games because I gotta give em credit their games absolutely slap
I can't talk about that because in my opinion they haven't released anything worth more than $30 in more than 30 years
Most Nintendo games are simply not $60+ games
Thats just opinion
I understand ya
Eight Ball and Hallucination good
Negative 8ball is about the only time I'd take it I think
Unless your name is Gamefreak
I had eleven 8 XD
Backseat, gamers
Game
Gamefreak gets almost zero budget for their games
new pokemon games just aren't that great, I do think pokemon legends arceus was really a leap from the template games but this new legends ZA is pretty dull in comparison, it does have some great things but still feels lackluster
I don't mean just pokemon games like sure it's weird the new donkey Kong is nominated for goty but it's still very fun
just started my completionist++ grind and thought i'd use blue deck, jesus christ whoever said it was the best deck in the game was right- i'm on a 4 win streak while playing a bit riskier for more stickers
Alot of people loved it
i have no +mult and i must scream (fragile challenge deck run)
not a fan of donkey kong but that game must be doing something right to get nomiated lol
Balatro!
It knows how to be "Fun"
I'm still really mad that schedule 1 hasn't been nominated for anything
And a fun game gets attention
You know this year is STACKED with games when you forget that Doom the Dark Ages exists
yep, that's true
while blue deck is for sure the most consistent and i'm winning every time rn (ik that's a bit of an anomaly so i'll lose some), maybe abandoned might be better for stickers given straights builds need far less scoring jokers so i can use more sticker slots
i'm staring at shop 1 eternal rental stuntman rn, this is always a take right?
i'm on blue deck so rental is technically -2 kinda
What stake?
Im a simple man
gold, i'm going for c++ rn
he said c++ grind
If I see trading card while I have DNA or vise versa; I throw the run
Oh right
Well, if you don't have a sticker on it
Go for it
It's still takeable for the chips
i have gold sticker, but i am not gonna win with 5 non gold stickers
i have like 2/3 gold stickers
i'm just tryna do 2-3 a game
What are the rest of your jokers?
2 stickers a game should be enough
Should I devil card or hermit card RN while I have 13 dollars
I always save money before ante 8 boss
i meant 2 thirds btw not 2/3, this is shop 1
2 thirds of the jokers are gold sticker already
C++ seems so time consuming
Because it absolutely is.
it doesnt need to be if ur just playing normal rate
i'm averaging about 2-3 gold stickers a game rn and i've won 4/4 since starting to actually try get c++, i'll definitely lose a lot but at this pace it won't take too long
C++ is getting gold stake sticker on every joker right?
yes
Doesn't that require you use a lot of bad jokers to get them the gold sticker
Or do you just buy them before the final boss to get them across the finish line
Yeah
yes, u only rly need 3 jokers to win tho so that's not that big a deal
Kind of the fun of it
this pretty much
Do I get the blueprint instead of sock and buskin, for another blueprint/brainstorm later or showman? Next ante is e21, with the current build I scored e32. This run I'm going for naneinf
ye u mostly win with 3-4 actual jokers
im 4 jokers away from c++ but im not rlly going for it
No, replace ticket
then showman once you see the next copy joker
are any of these legendaries? i only have 2 legendary gold stickers and if they're the last ones left i'm not looking forward to resetting for soul lol
nah the legendaries i got so quick i dont think its gonna be ur last jokers
If you want naneinf you’ll need to pivot to baron mime, if you didn’t know
1 common 3 uncommon
What the worst skip tag y'all
But then I wuldn't have money for reroll.
Actually ignore me, replace showman now and keep ticket farming
oh, ok
my strategy rn is trying to search for the last bad rare/ uncommon jokers i haven't gold stickered tho a lot of the time i also have to have a brick common
won't I need another copy to naneinf, when I get baron and mime?
last run i got uh paradolia and ancient joker as my useless slots
4 copies is enough in the serpent
Have you stickered Loyalty Card
Alright. Ty
You can afford to sell Ticket I think
yes, i've had enough runs with grabber on blue deck that it's not a bad joker
just sticker what u can come across it gets slower when u almost have every sticker
Actually wait
Yeah sell Showman
But what if I need to reroll for baron/mime? Do I got enough money?
alright
Showman it is, then
You're at the right threshold for the copy jokers to go naneinf
Y'all think I should gold card or hermit to get above interest cap
You're planning for Baron no?
hermit
yes
2k is enough.
hermit is correct, judgement is what i click cos i'm a degenerate gambler
so take blueprint instead of showman and spread reroll on next shop for baron and mime?
you can’t say that without knowing the shop queue lmao
i think judgement gives hologram here
you have time to find baron and mime
That is true
I'd have to sell a joker for judgement
