[placid swift]

yes

[hasty harness]

yeah poor grimbo and bus

[terse dock]

copying splash should retrigger all cards

[tired kestrel]

barely, the chips from pairs don't do much at that point

[gloomy marsh]

What worries me about pairs is pulling on first hand and having to burn a hand

[austere escarp]

not me calling out of work cause I cant sleep and now I can play balatro all day

[white zodiac]

problem with pair stuntman is now pairs have a fail rate and scaling chips is less important

[swift tundra]

Pairs of you haven’t already started leveling high card

[gloomy marsh]

but i guess its worth it because i get extra chips

[placid swift]

DISCARD high cards to upgrade

[pale wolf]

sleep at work

[austere escarp]

good idea

[pale wolf]

thats what im gonna do

[gloomy marsh]

Right

[gloomy marsh]

alright bet

[hasty harness]

true but even then i still almost never not draw a pair

[austere escarp]

I dont even think walmart would notice considering the things I have gotten away with

[hasty harness]

probably better to be safe though

with hc

[terse dock]

@everyone

[blissful fog]

I mostly do pairs since I lvled up enough pair lvls when it usually appears and I can only do high cards if I have a good setup

[austere escarp]

true I did do that

[pale wolf]

they sell mattresses, just become a sadnwich and disappear

[vocal rose]

the incident

[white zodiac]

the reaping

[languid pecan]

its better when trying to play all 4 hands

[placid swift]

based

[austere escarp]

Mark my words today is the day I get c++

[terse dock]

holy shit did you guys see that

[hasty harness]

how close are you

[placid swift]

good luck!

[austere escarp]

idk

[pale wolf]

i was about to joke @ here but then i realized i have a different role than before
what if it works somehow

[white zodiac]

gets banned x2

[hasty harness]

zebra banned arc incoming again

[terse dock]

does it appear in the autoselecter

[austere escarp]

well I mean

I am still here

somehow

[terse dock]

it only works if it appears when you type it halfway out

[pale wolf]

no it doesnt

[terse dock]

ok then

[austere escarp]

(I love you playstack u guys are way too nice)

[hasty harness]

then u can do it

[terse dock]

its safe

[hasty harness]

without pinging

[placid swift]

i think they were able to use it

[pale wolf]

they mean when i got banned for helping mods

and then came back blue

[hasty harness]

@everyone

uh oh

[placid swift]

it didnt highlight

[terse dock]

Jesse Pinkman

[terse dock]

DUDE

[austere escarp]

man I just cant read today

[hasty harness]

pretend it did

[placid swift]

so not an actual everyone

[languid pecan]

omg!!! you pinged the entire server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pale wolf]

nono it was context you mightve not had

[pale wolf]

im going to eviscerate you and your bloodline

[hasty harness]

one time a server with 10k ppl forgot to have it off for some reason

[vocal rose]

I remember when responding to an @everyone used to retrigger the @everyone so a mod could accidently do that

[hasty harness]

and some random unverified pinged everyone to get verified

💔

[austere escarp]

theres that but also they said again

[vocal rose]

retrigger mentioned

[austere escarp]

I am super confused why it just let me hit it without warning

[jade arch]

Hey, can someone help me with this? Why does the balatro calculator put the five after the 6 when optimizing the hand?

[placid swift]

we got balatro mechanichs in discord now

[jade arch]

This is the optimized one

[vocal rose]

it didn’t warn you??

[austere escarp]

everyone says it warns you in big servers before you do it

[pale wolf]

Minecraft official server had an (intentional but useless) @here ping couple days ago and the mod team was saying hilariously ineffectual and tonedeaf stuff like "when i see a ping and its not for me i mark as read and go on about my day, its not that hard"

[austere escarp]

No thats how I nuked the server

[white zodiac]

balatro not big enough

[hasty harness]

L mods wth

[swift tundra]

Omg I remember this 🤣

[terse dock]

blueprinting splash should retrigger all cards

[pale wolf]

and that servers got like 1M people

[languid pecan]

thats crazy since i thought there was supposed to be a warning

[austere escarp]

I spent 9 hours moderating the chat

[blissful fog]

Ok damn

[hasty harness]

there should be especially when pinging a lot of ppl

it says like are u sure u wanna ping xxx amount

[austere escarp]

I basically told the other mods its kinda my fault and I would deal with it actively in the moment

[pale wolf]

yea and blueprinting four fingers should let you make 3 card straights and flushes

[terse dock]

Sis was in D day

wait juice did you get the unchill role from that incident or otherwise

[pale wolf]

what's crazy is that those mod messages I was seeing in the Minecraft discord were still like 6 hours after the ping
and chat was still going fast

[vocal rose]

what was thunks opinion on the matter

[placid swift]

maybe spades come before diamonds in the game/websites code (like the catalog)
thats my only explanatiom for this

[pale wolf]

and it was on 1m slowmode

[white zodiac]

a full time hours worth of moderating

[pale wolf]

"who pinged me"

😎

[shell dagger]

The server used to be at 162k members

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[shell dagger]

It hasn’t even surpassed that since the Indident

[white zodiac]

oh that's why it's so quiet

[terse dock]

W thunk ❤️‍🩹

[shell dagger]

yeah

[hasty harness]

???

[pale wolf]

did over 4k people really leave

thats hilarious

[hasty harness]

people left from 1 ping ???

[white zodiac]

or banned

lmao

[pale wolf]

I was going to say probably like a hundred of them got banned right

[shell dagger]

My 4000 alts

[white zodiac]

I hope it's only 100

[abstract zenith]

Should I swap?

[terse dock]

Yeah there was a lot of transphobia that day

Like a lot

[placid swift]

what happened? i joined last week lmao

[pale wolf]

I still say we do it every quarter

[pale wolf]

look in the pins for some history

[white zodiac]

so basically the reddit incident

[hasty harness]

everyone ping

[terse dock]

@everyone

[shell dagger]

Mod used @ everyone as a joke without realising it would actually work

[placid swift]

ah.

[white zodiac]

@pepoles

[placid swift]

[pale wolf]

@placid swift

[placid swift]

@hotsinglesinyourarea

[pale wolf]

[terse dock]

I wish somebody loved me in the lesbian way

[placid swift]

wrong reply

[gaunt temple]

my deck is almost entirely red 8's with a bunch of purple sealed rocks to discard for the yorick and campfire gods

[shell dagger]

right reply

[placid swift]

gotta check that out gimme a sec

[hasty harness]

hero knight op

lol

[pale wolf]

idol dream /s

[white zodiac]

I used to go hard with coc back in the day

[clear mulch]

holy value gens

[jagged valve]

I think I'm suffering skill regression

[gaunt temple]

i have idol

[pale wolf]

ew

im sorry

[jagged valve]

I'm losing way too many runs

[hasty harness]

W

[placid swift]

that deck is hard (stone card)

[austere escarp]

my bad

[pale wolf]

they werent committed enough

[hasty harness]

would u do it again

you should do it again

trust

[austere escarp]

yeah thats the only reason I even deleted the original ping message

[white zodiac]

it just won't do anything

[gaunt temple]

not a single ectoplasm on ghost deck

[shell dagger]

40 everyone pings and the whole server reduces to nothing

[austere escarp]

not because I was offended but because it was too much to moderate

[gaunt temple]

just cryptids

[pale wolf]

when juice gets admin promotion she'll do it again for nostalgia's sake

[placid swift]

did 4k ppl really leave from a single @ evry1 ping lmao

[shell dagger]

why was there transphobia specifically that day, was it just because there were more people

[hasty harness]

i like this idea

[pale wolf]

juice

[hasty harness]

ive seen so much worse lol

[shell dagger]

oh

[clear mulch]

why do people crash out over a single ping 😢

[terse dock]

Do it every year on September 3rd

[hasty harness]

idk

[acoustic kettle]

Real

[austere escarp]

I would have to get a job at playstack before I get a promotion here 😭

[pale wolf]

they clicked the profile and saw a flag

[terse dock]

Juice is trans

[pale wolf]

if anything changing the flag for the server profile would have solved more than deleting the message

American flag and people would buy you beers

[swift tundra]

Remember, remember the 3rd of September, the @ everyone treason and plot

[clear mulch]

do all pretty people live there

[white zodiac]

I got pinged in the middle of my class presentation for calculus a couple years ago

[acoustic kettle]

Feels like the whole getting mad over an @ everyone is so overblown

[austere escarp]

yeah I kinda wish I had my at everyone trophy

[clear mulch]

why would you be using discord tho during that

[white zodiac]

I wasnt

used my own laptop

[placid swift]

why werent you using silent mode???

[white zodiac]

and didn't switch out from my phone

[hasty harness]

why no DND

💔

[clear mulch]

oh right i dont have discord notifications

[pale wolf]

and did you have a meltdown and leave the classroom
because that seems to be the average Discord user reaction to getting @everyoned

[austere escarp]

too scared to even put the @ symbol nearby the word everyone

[hasty harness]

@ everyone

[swift tundra]

That’s a healthy fear

[austere escarp]

Even though due to my incident they removed the ability for mods to use it

[pale wolf]

you cant even do it anymore yea

[jagged torrent]

Do it >:)
It would be very silly of you

[swift tundra]

Like don’t put your finger on the trigger of a firearm unless you intend to shoot it

[austere escarp]

Im good

[pale wolf]

Not that mods would ever have to use it anyways

[placid swift]

just in case the mods get drunk and change the rules for a second

[white zodiac]

I got like two pings from my friend group and some hands in ppls mouths

[placid swift]

it could happen

[terse dock]

Egg

[austere escarp]

bruh more than likely I would be the drunk mod

[pale wolf]

my personal server used to have no permission restrictions, so anybody could make or delete channels and be admin
until one day someone invited someone i didnt know and they deleted every channel irreversibly

[placid swift]

true...

[austere escarp]

yea theres no reason for any volunteer mods to be able to use it

[pale wolf]

sad times

[white zodiac]

it took me a while to figure out how to undo the weird discord easter egg where a japanisu person would say "discordo" every time I open it

[pale wolf]

wut

Like a literal sound file would play

[austere escarp]

what

[placid swift]

i did that in my middle school friend server because i had a meltdown

[white zodiac]

some yt video about all the discord easter eggs

[pale wolf]

is that what Japan does with all of their products, just have tag lines of the brand name at the start

[pale wolf]

SEGA!

[white zodiac]

yeah

[austere escarp]

I was tweaking when on halloween they had a different ping or call sound dunno which one was different

[pale wolf]

gameboy

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro

[latent egret]

both

[gaunt temple]

rest in peace yorick campfire (idol hit the one card that wasnt a 8 heart: a 6 spade)

[jagged torrent]

Joker poker balala ♡♤◇♧

[placid swift]

gg

[austere escarp]

I thought it was a permanent change and my boomer ass mind was tryna figure out how to revert it

[supple veldt]

okay so ive learned if you have 2 vampires, only 1 of them can eat your enhancements

[placid swift]

better that balatro no cap

[terse dock]

OK 23 year old

[pale wolf]

[terse dock]

I bet you have a computer science degree

[jagged torrent]

Yeah it's the same as 6 sense

[gaunt temple]

unless you put a midas in the middle

[acoustic kettle]

Jimbo thunking it

[austere escarp]

uhm ackshually I am 21

[gaunt temple]

then it steal, gold, steal

[placid swift]

"i bet you have a stable income" ahh insult

[terse dock]

OK millennial

[jagged torrent]

I bet you qualify for taxes ahh insult

[gaunt temple]

OK ipad baby

back to cocomelon with you

[terse dock]

Wrong generation

[pale wolf]

that is not millenial 😭

[terse dock]

Sorry; gen x

[pale wolf]

further

[acoustic kettle]

Crazy

[austere escarp]

I dont know a single person with a CS degree that has a job in the field

[terse dock]

Boomer?

[pale wolf]

wrong direction

21 is firmly gen z

[swift tundra]

Non-rental/perishable spare trousers in the first shop let’s go 💪

[terse dock]

Ah gen ≈

[placid swift]

fair enough

[inland helm]

i bet you have a reliable career ahh insult

[austere escarp]

They all had a job then got layed off

[white zodiac]

pants can't be perishable 😉

[pale wolf]

free win

[jagged torrent]

True all cs majors, are aspiring homeless people [me included]

[supple veldt]

getting midas vampire in the same shop was pretty peak

[terse dock]

I was profiling the computer science degree off the fact that she's trans

[terse dock]

Disabled clever joker

[austere escarp]

double pants and x6 yorick

[austere escarp]

it disabled after I died

[pale wolf]

bet you leveled up two pair

[gaunt temple]

pants

[placid swift]

thats def why they lost

[swift tundra]

Holy shoot TIL!

[austere escarp]

uhh this was like 2 hours ago I think my two pair was level 11

[austere escarp]

it wasnt disabled during the blind

[terse dock]

None of the scalers can be debuffed

[jagged torrent]

99 missed calls from John blue seal

[austere escarp]

I couldve won but I got a bad draw and had to play a high card

[latent egret]

supernova can be tho :((((((

one of my favorites

[terse dock]

That isnt scaling itself

[austere escarp]

I was also super greedy in that run and skipped 6 times to try and get turtle bean sticker along with clever joker

[latent egret]

unfair

[swift tundra]

God this makes so much sense I just never noticed before

[inland helm]

common lucky cat W

[placid swift]

bad crop? bro were gonna starve
(i feel so cringe saying this glad i left reddit lmao)

[gaunt temple]

Also id say worst joker in the game is Splash

[terse dock]

actually lucky cat is uncommon

[latent egret]

nah it has its uses

[jagged torrent]

Obe licks and super nova don't synergie well unfortunately:(

[pale wolf]

this is why i give the advice to level something besides 2pair
you already get more than enough scoring from pants, better to load your chips into something that you can play more often later and also not interfere with scaling pants

[jagged torrent]

D:

[latent egret]

yeah but obelisk isn’t there all the tile

[cosmic sun]

beautiful little money spread before I kill crimson heart

[inland helm]

☝️ 🤓

[pale wolf]

this is a good crop

I always crop my screenshots well

[inland helm]

👀

[gaunt temple]

ok fine to do list

[placid swift]

scary

[terse dock]

I always harvest my grain

[austere escarp]

yeaaaa but the whole run was greedy if I played it just to win ante 8 I honestly probably would have 1 shot the violet vessel

[terse vale]

loyalty card useful for once in my runs wallahi

[latent egret]

great early unless unlucky

[terse vale]

violet vessel protection

[lament hornet]

Black deck, nebula deck, painted deck, are any of these pronouncedly easier than the others? My last 3 gold stakes and Im scared of them all

[latent egret]

loyalty card is way more situational than to do list

[acoustic kettle]

Hard to say any econ joker as the worst joker in the game

[austere escarp]

so off topic but level 16 in cr just ruined my day

[latent egret]

painted is 3oak heaven

[viral raft]

I was watching a Balatro streamer on twitch and he said that Flash card was actually one of the worst jokers in the game

[gaunt temple]

or you know, mail in rebate

[placid swift]

i think your pfp is homestuck, is it a good listen?

[jagged torrent]

Satellite is kinda meh ;-;

[terse dock]

I play bloons

[clear mulch]

isnt it a webseries

[pale wolf]

You have saved the hardest decks for last, more or less, The order you listed them is hardest to easiest

[viral raft]

even the worst econ joker is above C or B tier

[terse dock]

It's both

[placid swift]

i thought it was music lmao

[austere escarp]

painted I didnt find difficult at all

[placid swift]

oh k thx

[austere escarp]

it was my 2nd gold stake

[terse dock]

Del grat is like firmly c tier

[inland helm]

big disagree imo, its good for reliable stable decent income, especially if you've got a constellation

[pale wolf]

painted isnt difficult but its on the bottom half of decks

actually I think green and plasma are below it for consistency but that doesnt matter here

[viral raft]

true, still a high c imo, useful in no discard runs

[inland helm]

like its not the best but its not bad

[austere escarp]

Plasma was my last deck for c+ and I struggled a little bit once I got to purple stake

[viral raft]

unless you play burglar lmao

[terse dock]

Bro just put the golden joker in the bag

[jagged torrent]

I just don't think I can justify taking it in most gold runs

Definitely not bad by anymeans tho

[inland helm]

thats valid, you def need a convenient slot for it

[viral raft]

tbh yeah, still good because monmey = power

[placid swift]

idk why i just really like checkered deck, i love my flushes

[placid swift]

TBOI reference???

[gaunt temple]

ive done green, black, checkered, ad plasma

black deck is god awful in gold stake

[viral raft]

CORRECT!

[clear mulch]

they need to bring back the old satellite that scales by 1 each blind so the game is less balanced

[pale wolf]

black deck is fun and hard

oh shit!! it's lunch break and nobody told me

[placid swift]

isasc snd his mother lived in a small hou-

[abstract zenith]

Selling the cards in the upper-right should boost Campfire, yeah?

[pale wolf]

yes

[clear mulch]

yep

[inland helm]

im adding a joker that does this in my mod lmao

[pale wolf]

Not if you don't buy it though

[abstract zenith]

Nice

[pale wolf]

You actually need to own the campfire

[oak goblet]

Pointers please?

[abstract zenith]

I see

[gaunt temple]

you have -1 discards, -1 hand and spend most of gold stake early game freaking the fuck out hoping you have enough mult and chips

[placid swift]

what? selling consumables counts for campfire?? i always thought it was jokers??

[clear mulch]

i feel like jokers shouldnt be too similar to eachother as to not make one better or worse

[viral raft]

isaac and his isaac lived alone in a small isaac

[abstract zenith]

Which one would you replace with Campfire btw

[acoustic kettle]

It's anything

[placid swift]

smiley

[ebon zephyr]

three more stickers down

[placid swift]

if you have upgraded hands

[viral raft]

Yep, it says card, (planets, tarots, spectrals) anything that you can sell counts to Campfire

[inland helm]

that is fair. and i will say it only scales if you beat the blind in one hand, so it leads to some synergies/anti-synergies to some stuff like dna

[placid swift]

gotta use that mf more

[viral raft]

is S tier tbh

[clear mulch]

well then uhhh idk

meow

[acoustic kettle]

What if i sell a playing card

[inland helm]

woof

[viral raft]

after ante 7 is just a winning run

[acoustic kettle]

[pale wolf]

when you copy castle with brainstorm, it doesnt copy the foil, only the chips in castle, which means at BEST copying castle is less than a 2x
if you copy baseball card, you can put castle to the right of fortune teller and get 2.25X on it instead

[viral raft]

Which joker have more win condition? Obelisk or Camfire?

both amazing after ante 6

[rocky helm]

guys tips on mad world

[clear mulch]

be pro

[oak goblet]

I'm thinking of picking up Mask but I dunno for sure.

[latent egret]

guess

[pale wolf]

id kill smiley maybe, if you have like level 3 flushes

[rocky helm]

real

[viral raft]

retriggers and play 4oak

[placid swift]

not even sell fuckin KILL lmao

[viral raft]

is white stake

[pale wolf]

over superposition seems good to me

[abstract zenith]

Think it's level 9 now so I'll replace Smiley, thanks

[clear mulch]

you gotta either ask nicely or ask like a tsundere

[pale wolf]

very nice

[acoustic kettle]

Superposition is so good

[rocky helm]

yeah im guaranteed to get a 4oak

[pale wolf]

when

[clear mulch]

now

[acoustic kettle]

Whenever

[placid swift]

when you got shortcut/4 fingers

or both

[latent egret]

abandonned worh 4f and shortcut

[pale wolf]

the two least likely straights to draw, which might not even be possible if you were fixing your deck for straights already

[latent egret]

and + 2 hand size vouchers

and troubadour

and bean for good measure

[placid swift]

handsizemaxxing

[fair flower]

Decided to give Abandoned a shot and honestly I regret not trying it earlier

[acoustic kettle]

From my experience i always get at least one tarot per round

[clear mulch]

seánce synergises with supoerposition 😁

[pale wolf]

abandoned is sick

[oak goblet]

AH CRAP

[robust lance]

Drunkard carry

[acoustic kettle]

From the multiple runs i got it

[pale wolf]

every card addition or modification you do is worth like 25% more on abandoned

[fair flower]

100%

[oak goblet]

@pale wolf Crap, crap, crap. Ugh damn it XD Why did Invis Joker have to show up now.

[placid swift]

me when i get ride the bus on abandoned (ambatakam)

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't take it lol

[placid swift]

yeah invis here is bad play

[pale wolf]

too many awful hits that are eternal

[oak goblet]

Thats fair, it's just frustrating lol.

[clear mulch]

you could get another riff raff think about it

[acoustic kettle]

There should be a reverse plant that debuffs numbers

[fair flower]

Sadly I got ride the bus way too late, my tarot joker was already at 37

[clear mulch]

no

[placid swift]

even fuckin worse

[pale wolf]

invis is really not that good, endless runs overrate it

[fair flower]

You gamble until you win

[viral raft]

is a decent tarot gen

i like it

i won a SF build with him

[rocky helm]

i finally found a godo use for flower port

[placid swift]

its just like bp or brainstorm, you gotta alr have a good card for it to be good

[viral raft]

nah is always trash

[clear mulch]

flower port new joker leaked??

[pale wolf]

except that bp and brainstorm get to shift their value throughout a run and invis locks you in

[rocky helm]

in my case 4oaks but it synergzies with splash

[placid swift]

x2 mult if you have flowerpot

[placid swift]

yeah, true

[viral raft]

splash works with pot but you're using 2 joker slots btw

not a good trade at all atleast

[acoustic kettle]

Smeared

[latent egret]

splash can bring other value

[tame cobalt]

Pot joker

[clear mulch]

if it works it works

[placid swift]

i remember using invis on a holo merry andy and running out of cards to play lmao

[viral raft]

Yeah but most of the time is just a extra minimun of chips

[fair flower]

Any tarot gen is good, the only problem is that it gets overshadowed by hallucination and that one joker that gives you a tarot card when you select a round.

Maybe if it gave 2 tarot cards instead of one it'll be competing for 1st place

[tame cobalt]

Merry andy is poopy

[pale wolf]

flower pot + splash = polychrome seeing double

[placid swift]

oooh never thought about that synergy

[fervent wolf]

Do I take Stuntman and Overstock

[clear mulch]

one is common and the other is uncommon

[rocky helm]

nah ur stencil will just get ruined since stunt is eternal

[placid swift]

no, keep the 2x stencil

[fair flower]

Hallucination is uncommon?

[oak goblet]

Fair enough.

[tame cobalt]

Superposition giving 2 would be really good

[acoustic kettle]

Used to never use hangman because i died in a run running out of cards

[fervent wolf]

It's x3

[clear mulch]

i mean superposition and cartomamcer

[pale wolf]

superposition should give you 1 or 2 tarots the same way A counts as 1 or 2 ranks

[placid swift]

right, negative raised fist

[fervent wolf]

I'd take stuntman and sell mime

[placid swift]

yeah that sounds good

[fervent wolf]

Alright

[placid swift]

but we gotta see the deck first

maybe you got like a good steel card?

[abstract zenith]

Another one that seems like it has potential

[rocky helm]

vro i lost mad world, but its fine because its a really consistent strategy

[placid swift]

or multiple?

[placid swift]

wait, you still playing cyriptid?

[pale wolf]

ooh

beeg stoker

[terse vale]

good listen?
I mean there’s like an unofficial voice acted version on youtube

also ehhhh I mean you’ll either love it or hate it

[placid swift]

thats a good pull with dna (my beloved)

[rocky helm]

nah but i can, the reason im playing challenges because im bored of normal vanilla

[pale wolf]

yea you read homestuck

its visual

[acoustic kettle]

Hear the text

[placid swift]

i thought it was music since it allegedly inspired toby fox on undertale

[abstract zenith]

Would you replace any of the Jokers with this

[pale wolf]

he did homestuck

[rocky helm]

...earthbound inspired undertal

[pale wolf]

[pale wolf]

you seem so credible and skilled
how do i become like you

[rocky helm]

awesome

[clear mulch]

paintbrush 🤤

[placid swift]

i wish it reduced the xmult by like 1.25x every time instead of resetting it

[fervent wolf]

Really wish I didn't take the stuntman

Stone Joker appeared

[clear mulch]

then its a legendary

[placid swift]

is it joever

[fervent wolf]

And it's not eternal

[pale wolf]

yesss

[acoustic kettle]

It's already one of the strongest as is

[placid swift]

idk i never use it

gotta use campfire more ig

[terse vale]

40 reps of badassery, 30 reps of The X Factor, and 50 sets of “That’s my name, don’t wear it out”

[abstract zenith]

F I accidentally sold DNA

[pale wolf]

should i get wendys

[abstract zenith]

It should reapear right

[placid swift]

it might be joever

[cosmic sun]

with the amount of rentals and consumables in shops campfire is strong af

[pale wolf]

could go to main menu and scum it

[clear mulch]

evilish

so evil

[placid swift]

fucking hopefully lmao rip

[acoustic kettle]

Gold stake is a campfire buff

[placid swift]

they you lose the black border!!!

[clear mulch]

rentals yes

[placid swift]

yeah that makes sense

[pale wolf]

the black border?

[obsidian patrol]

play bloons td 6

[pale wolf]

no?

[placid swift]

uhhh btd6 reference

you get gold border if you savescum in that game

[pale wolf]

grre

[obsidian patrol]

Only true c.h.i.m.p.s. masters will get this one

[placid swift]

peak tower defense game btw

[pale wolf]

that sounds better

[obsidian patrol]

Its looks way worse

[pale wolf]

id rather have a gold border

[terse vale]

oh wendys is peak

[placid swift]

gold looks like crap in btd6

[pale wolf]

mmmm okay

[clear mulch]

what if i dont want wendys

[placid swift]

then dont

[pale wolf]

guy on the right looks like he got first place

[clear mulch]

but im planning on stealing food from zebra

[obsidian patrol]

Not really

[pale wolf]

guy on left doesn't even look like he started yet

[obsidian patrol]

Its just kinda yellow

[terse vale]

mmmmmmmhhh I guess panda express is the next best option

[placid swift]

guy on the left got first place without cheating

[pale wolf]

it literally looks like what future unlock buttons look like

[clear mulch]

@pale wolf do you like panda express

[pale wolf]

I don't think there are any around me

but I don't think I would

[clear mulch]

mmmh

[fervent wolf]

I feel like I drop Stencil for dl but idk

[placid swift]

ehhh opinions so thats fsir enough

[clear mulch]

no

its gay and x2

why would u sell it

[placid swift]

yeah def get drivers

[fervent wolf]

Ty

Yeah

[clear mulch]

x2x1.5 IS x3

[pale wolf]

seems correct

[fervent wolf]

Was thinking that too

[white zodiac]

proactive scalers (excluding htr/campfire)

[pale wolf]

and then you can get another Joker

[clear mulch]

oh right

[fervent wolf]

Yeah

[clear mulch]

sorry but whenever i see stencil i forget you can sell it and use your joker slots

[pale wolf]

stencil is the biggest joker

[placid swift]

i honestly think a uno/balatro crossover eould be cool

[pale wolf]

he takes up the most slots

[clear mulch]

omfg you're a madlad

i NEED to make this

if it doesnt exist

[placid swift]

lmao

[white zodiac]

is this the wild card buff thunk was talking about

[placid swift]

motivation like its adrenaline

[clear mulch]

ok there's only a texture pack for it

[placid swift]

new deck is going to be uno deck

[clear mulch]

drspectred has such a calming voice i love their vids

[languid heron]

I just got credit card in þe judgement in þe arcana pack lmao

[placid swift]

idk i like roffle better

but hes cool too

[clear mulch]

other youtubers are rush too hard for me

he goes slow and i like it that way

[placid swift]

yeah fair enough

[rocky helm]

do i kill rebate?

[clear mulch]

mh ya ya

well

maybe driver's license?

[raw loom]

All legendary gold stake, Chicot you are the 🐐

[rocky helm]

3 luckies away from 3x

[rocky helm]

finally

[austere escarp]

no

[clear mulch]

but if you get brainstorm you score an extra x8 instead of the x3 from driver's license

[rocky helm]

money's nothing

[wintry ice]

crazy holo synergy

[clear mulch]

and you keep your money gen

[placid swift]

i thought you alr had 16 enhanced when you got drivers ig not

[austere escarp]

maybe its just the Wendys in Alaska being dogshit but the food is disgusting and the wait times are insane

[rocky helm]

yeah but all i need is like a fool and a empress or smth and i get the x3 and im set

[white zodiac]

crazy draw 4 (idk the synergy)

[wintry ice]

idt it matters at this point

[clear mulch]

if you have a fixed deck for rebate id rather have the money

[rocky helm]

but i dont

[clear mulch]

yeah so

idk do whatever

[placid swift]

just win

[pale wolf]

on my game license would go

Brainstorm is both more money with rebate and more xmult with photo

[white zodiac]

what stuff is banned on mad world

[clear mulch]

thats what im saying 😼

[rocky helm]

copy photo or chad?

[clear mulch]

photo

[rocky helm]

plant :)

[placid swift]

fi i have photochad, isnt it better to copy photo?

[pale wolf]

generally yes

[clear mulch]

yes

[placid swift]

why tho? doesnt chad give 2 of what photo gives?

[white zodiac]

generally yes

[latent egret]

unless you neeeeed the score, you can get more value copying chad

[pale wolf]

there is an initial trigger that gets doubled

so you're doubling three triggers instead of just adding two triggers

[proper turtle]

with the glass joker, does it gain mult if you hang glass cards or they need to score and then break?

[white zodiac]

3x2 > 5x1

[placid swift]

doesnt copying chad mske it trigger 4 times while photo 3?

[clear mulch]

copying photo: x4 x4 x4 x4 x4
copying chad: x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2 x2

[placid swift]

Oh

[pale wolf]

You're adding two triggers, not four

[rocky helm]

but here its better to copy chad because oh the money retriggers

[latent egret]

trading card/immolate works too

[placid swift]

yeah i get it

[pale wolf]

lies

immolate does not work with glass joker

it is an oversight

[latent egret]

copying photo=2x more

[rocky helm]

ok i got my liscence to x3

[proper turtle]

ic, I thought it only counts the glass which are played and are destroyed that way

[white zodiac]

none of the spectrals work with glassy

[rocky helm]

yeah but madworld money matters more

[pale wolf]

You can hangman them, ostensibly you're supposed to be able to destroy them anyway you want

but the game is not

[placid swift]

you should ping thunk and tell him to fix it (/j)

[white zodiac]

like canio but well the game tends to be a bit quirky at night

[latent egret]

local thunk plzcfix

[proper turtle]

canio also doesn't gain mult with immolate?

[white zodiac]

it does

[pale wolf]

immo works with canio but not glass joker
its absurd

[white zodiac]

that's the problem with consistency between canio and glassy

[pale wolf]

and NONE of the other spectrals work with either

[proper turtle]

the legendary bias, lmao

[placid swift]

broken ass game i want my money back

/srs

[clear mulch]

wdym? ive used familiar, grim and incantation to scale canio

[white zodiac]

refund my 1k hours back

[clear mulch]

using pareidolia

[pale wolf]

no you have not. not on vanilla

[clear mulch]

youre saying its a steammodded fix?

[pale wolf]

maybe its some esoteric issue steammodded accidentally fixes or something but it doesnt happen in vanilla

[clear mulch]

i swear i didnt have mods yet

i need to check

[white zodiac]

mobile exclusive moment

[shrewd jacinth]

wait fr

[placid swift]

same

[shrewd jacinth]

I always thought these could scale canio

[white zodiac]

with their mobile exclusive bugs

[placid swift]

i FUCKING HATE the pc ui when it pops up and doesnt go away

it just bugs me so much

[pale wolf]

yeah you just have to go to main menu to undo it, if you ever find a way to consistently do it on command please let me know

To make it show up on command I mean

[placid swift]

it happens randomly

i have tried doubleclick, tripleclick, long hold, its fuckin random istg

[pale wolf]

it seems random but it is tied to some sort of touch
if you could do it intentionally then it would make acorn even easier

[proper turtle]

when the jokers stays selected with the sell tag on mobile? one of those bugs

[placid swift]

the finisher blind?

[clear mulch]

The Ghost Deck grants easier access to the otherwise hard to find Spectral cards via The Shop, in which 4 of them can help Canio scale by destroying playing cards, those being Familiar, Grim, Incantation and Immolate).

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Canio

[pale wolf]

yea

[pale wolf]

@fading dome there is some misinformation on the wiki

[placid swift]

all sellable/buyable cards

[proper turtle]

its very fucking annoying

[pale wolf]

it is incorrect

[placid swift]

its not the fandom one so i doubt it

[proper turtle]

I just go back to the main menu to reset/fix that

[clear mulch]

im not paranoid i swear

[placid swift]

yeah but its too cumbersome to do that

[pale wolf]

In a few minutes I'll go record some evidence

[white zodiac]

im not paranoid either (with my 6 save files)

[placid swift]

also theres this strange ass bug too

gimme a sec

[pale wolf]

I mean this started as a carbon copy of the fandom wiki

any leftover misinformation is still there

[proper turtle]

it is, and one of the reasons I don't play on mobile much

[fading dome]

last time I checked the spectral destroying cards bug was only an issue for glass joker, not canio

[placid swift]

this

[pale wolf]

only immolate works for canio

and none for glass joker

[placid swift]

oh, that makes more sense

[clear mulch]

AHAH !!

it works

YES

[placid swift]

can anybody tell me if this happens on pc too

[shell dagger]

Tbf I have some memories of incant/whatever sniping a face card

[clear mulch]

without any mods

[shell dagger]

Idk why id remember that if it didn’t work on canio

[austere escarp]

Really? I swear to god I have used immolate on canio before

[white zodiac]

same (they've all been fails)

[fading dome]

I just checked, all the spectrals seem to work fine with canio, even without steamodded

[shell dagger]

Immolate definitely works

[austere escarp]

But then again I couldnt tell you when I started modding my balala

[white zodiac]

immolate works with canio

[shell dagger]

That’s what the canio wr does

[jagged torrent]

I want to imolate myself in game and irl

[pale wolf]

well now I'm doubting myself, but I could have sworn it was just given fact that only immolate works with canio

[jagged torrent]

Wdym Cavendish just died

What the helly

[placid swift]

can anybody on pc rn see if this happens on pc/your copy of mobile balatro

[pale wolf]

I'm so confused but okay

[placid swift]

it is actually 0.1%, thats not a joke stat

[white zodiac]

try a short seeded run

[fading dome]

feel free to double check again though, I prefer multiple people running the same test rather than 1 person saying "I tested it" and everybody else accepting it

[proper turtle]

1 in 1000 is 0.1%?

[clear mulch]

give me a sec

[pale wolf]

going to as soon as I can

[white zodiac]

do u have a seed test

[pale wolf]

1 in 100 is 1% so yes

[white zodiac]

for this

[clear mulch]

im compressing the video for discord limit

[placid swift]

yes?

[proper turtle]

oh yeah nvm im dumb

[abstract zenith]

Are these two good enough to replace my current set?

[austere escarp]

flower pot and steel arent great

[unreal island]

Har har har

[faint birch]

never stop flushing

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't accept any evidence that isn't on a vanilla game anyways though

[placid swift]

oh hey susan

[unreal island]

Just preordered 😍

[abstract zenith]

Ahh I see

[clear mulch]

at the start of the video there's clearly no "steammodded" on the top right

[white zodiac]

so vanilla mobile

[austere escarp]

I am assuming you arent using 4oak so I would just take hologram instead of flower pot

[white zodiac]

ante 11 moment

[fading dome]

No, I used debug mode. But 4GZSB32U might work pretty well

[white zodiac]

@pale wolf

[placid swift]

why is it in 5 by 4 resolution??

[clear mulch]

discord

[austere escarp]

flushing your way to c++ is kinda insane and impressive

[abstract zenith]

Yeah I just did that, thanks

[clear mulch]

i had to lower the resolution for it

[jagged torrent]

Balatro is it was...

Balatro

[clear mulch]

what

[faint birch]

im built different

[jagged torrent]

Waht

[clear mulch]

whaar

[faint birch]

loyalty card, pareidolia, dna, faceless, ice cream, obelisk, stone joker, popcorn, onyx agate left to go

which is basically easy street

[placid swift]

also i just realised 2nd quarter of 2026 thats late as hell

[clear mulch]

i renamed my mods folder to mods2 for this im so friggin angery right now .... that will take me months to rename

[unreal island]

Yeah

[unreal island]

Thats like what april/may

[austere escarp]

These are my last 8

[white zodiac]

fun

[unreal island]

Obelisk will be ez

Steel and stone too

[austere escarp]

I wish I could just pull an obelisk but NOOOOO

[faint birch]

luck issue

[unreal island]

Not sure abt crazy tho

[faint birch]

just hit the wheel

[placid swift]

did you do cola/lunchador/invis alr?

[wintry ice]

shortcur!

[austere escarp]

All of them are easy I just need a decent 4 jokers and have one sit there and look pretty

[faint birch]

real gamers make a build around that joker

[clear mulch]

real gamers make a build around flushes

😎

[faint birch]

TRUE

[placid swift]

real gamers game or some shit idk never balatroed iml

[faint birch]

honestly flush needs nerfing. it's too overpowered

[placid swift]

maybe full house too

[white zodiac]

trib 💔

[pale wolf]

yea tf is this

[fading dome]

lmao my bad

[pale wolf]

I just got there

[unreal island]

chat do i play balatro, tboi, or read fanfiction

[pale wolf]

😭

[faint birch]

maybe but nobody plays full house to test this

[placid swift]

all at the same time, stimulimaxxing

[fading dome]

oh canio is in ante 5, my bad lmfao

[placid swift]

i fuckimg love full house and flushes

[placid swift]

ok, srs tho prob tboi

[pale wolf]

ookey

[white zodiac]

I see

[placid swift]

unless you are burnt out from grinding both

[white zodiac]

wait why am I playing on gs

[clear mulch]

the power move: write a fanfic on balatro AND tboi

idk how that would work

you figure it out

make sure to invlude yaoi and yuri

[placid swift]

i mean isaac has tarot cards so

[placid swift]

hell yeah

[clear mulch]

where are my yuri enthusiasts at 😢

[placid swift]

not really into it but not against it

neutral

[radiant ermine]

Naninf plausible on golden needle? /s

[placid swift]

but yuri from ddlc? hell yeah

[pale wolf]

and I just realized that I should probably be on ghost

[placid swift]

ultimate banana build

gimme that +45 mult

[robust cosmos]

Do I take this invis

[radiant ermine]

So scared

[abstract zenith]

DNA’s back in the shop, but I’m not sure it’d help much now since every joker feels indispensable right now lol

[white zodiac]

oh I'm on plasma cause my last seeded run was a plasma attempt

lmao

[placid swift]

yeah probably

[robust cosmos]

To replace what

[placid swift]

as much as i glaze it, dna here is a bad choice imo

[clear mulch]

no its good trust me

[placid swift]

mail in

[clear mulch]

i have never lost a run of balatro

[placid swift]

press x to doubt

anyways i gtg ill have meal

[radiant ermine]

Welp that was fun

[placid swift]

see yall later

[austere escarp]

leave my go to starting hand alone

[hasty harness]

use hermit trust

[austere escarp]

if I aint draw a full house first hand I am holding R

[faint birch]

yo

[abstract zenith]

Why is Flash Card 'Negative' when it can add another joker slot?

[clear mulch]

yo 🥹

[hasty harness]

sell brainstorm open spectral get wraith and get brainstorm

BOOM

u get rid of all ur debt

and keep brainstorm

[austere escarp]

kinda a joke now but I used to actually be like this

[white zodiac]

I fucking died

[hasty harness]

negative jokers can be taken even if u have a full joker lineup

[austere escarp]

basically its a free joker slot

[abstract zenith]

I see

[brazen mango]

what do i take

[fading dome]

if you gimme a couple min I can probably find an actually good seed lol

[abstract zenith]

Then there's no way I shouldn't buy it ig

[white zodiac]

tbf I did plasma gs like an idiot

[fading dome]

yeah that probably doesn't help

[white zodiac]

if it doesn't actively harm your econ or any other short term interactions then yea

[abstract zenith]

Gotcha

[faint birch]

thanks riff raff

u a homie

luck issue yknow

just pull poly cavendish

[hasty harness]

interesting 💀

i got chicot from a spectral as well

usually its arcanas

[jagged valve]

The Cloud 9 will never appear in this run

[clear mulch]

waow! riffraff generated blueprint!!!

and a gay banana

[faint birch]

gay is better

[jagged valve]

All gays are banans

[clear mulch]

i love gay

[jagged valve]

Polychrome on all bananas

[clear mulch]

yes spread the gayness

[abstract zenith]

Destroying cards with Tarot in the game is permanent yea?

[clear mulch]

yeas

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rugged rune]

I rarely ask for advice, but this is a strange scenario:
I currently score 170k with a pair of twos (basically no deck fixing this run), and all I care about is winning for C++. Do I replace Blueprint with Card Sharp?

[wintry ice]

it is an overall scoring increase

[rugged rune]

I do have a polychrome two, but drawing it isn't guaranteed.

[rugged rune]

I do not know.

[wintry ice]

copying any of hack, grimbo, wee or fibb is around 2x

card sharp is 3x for 3 hands

[rugged rune]

I have a polychrome two, so that would introduce another x1.5 that hand, and when combined with the fib on the first played two, it gives ~x3.

I'll replace it.

[wintry ice]

card sharp is effective for more hands

[white zodiac]

sharp also doesn't get hard countered by any of the 5 finisher blinds

[vocal rose]

crimson…

[rugged rune]

That is true, but I have Director's Cut.

[fading dome]

Seed 9YY should be very doable, canio in the first arcana pack in the first shop, lots of card destroying spectrals next shop

[white zodiac]

"hard" counter

[vocal rose]

ante 7 card sharp x mult with directors cut the eye rolled into the needle

[vocal rose]

that’s grounds for never playing the game again

[mighty topaz]

Playing balatro in Wingstop

[rugged rune]

The blind ended up being Amber Acorn, so yeah that's good. Joker order barely matters now.

[vale wharf]

What changes should I make to my deck?

[swift tundra]

Blue cheese in the dip pack

[clear mulch]

open 1 billion standard packs

[vocal quartz]

it’s enough to make a grown man cry

what a beauty

[vale wharf]

Children, NEVER fuck around with the cerulean bell

Definitely the deadliest boss

[clear mulch]

me when i lie

[rugged rune]

I opened a booster pack in the final shop and got a red seal steel card. I didn't even use my lucky polychrome 2 in the final round.

[vale wharf]

Wait, who is deadlier?

[swift tundra]

sad, many such cases

[clear mulch]

prob violet vessel or crimson heart

[rugged rune]

I got gold stickers on Hack, Matador, Fibonacci, and Card Sharp this run. I'd say that's productive.

[lavish compass]

do you need to do the challenges to get completionist+?

[clear mulch]

those two are a pain generally to any kind of build

while the others are less likely to make your last round harder

[swift tundra]

I believe so, but more importantly do them because they are fun!

[white zodiac]

u dont

[clear mulch]

jokerless is not fun 😢

jokerless stole my icecream

hes very evil

[vale wharf]

Violet vessel is definitely a bigger obstacle, but doesn't screw up whatever you want to play

[swift tundra]

Jokerless improved my overall game so much though

[rugged rune]

I somehow have never won a run with Perkeo. That is surprising, but makes sense as I often sell it for money before entering the final round. I'm also just don't really know how to work with Perkeo. People love it, but I don't get the hype.

[swift tundra]

And only took maybe 4 tries, golden needle was wayyy worse in my opinion

[clear mulch]

with some decent deck fixing its unlikely the boss picks a bad card

also it can just be disabled for a hand using the hanged man

other blinds' effects cant be disabled temporarely using a tarot

maybe the suit bosses yes

technically you can use suit changers

but still, you get my point?

[twin lantern]

high card build?

[clear mulch]

pair

[twin lantern]

high

[clear mulch]

yes

high card

[twin lantern]

yay!

[clear mulch]

do whatever they're both good

pair has 50% higher chip scaling

[twin lantern]

stuntman is here cause less hand size

deck has some stones

[clear mulch]

then high card full stone

[mighty topaz]

I just lost my run

[twin lantern]

one at a time :3

for blue joker

[clear mulch]

no, all at once

cause i say so

[twin lantern]

but blue joker

[vocal quartz]

do i swap sock for drivers? i think its not doing much rn

[abstract zenith]

Had no idea why I read ‘play only one hand’ as ‘play only one kind of hand.’ I’m so mad rn I fucking suck lol

[clear mulch]

thats the other boss blind lol

dont be harsh on yourself 😢

[vocal rose]

the needle and the mouth

[clear mulch]

spread positivity ☺️

[vocal quartz]

so uh

do i

[clear mulch]

i swear the eye sucks i hate it it needs to die

[vocal rose]

we will assume you have it active

right?

bc you aren’t showing the deck

[vocal quartz]

yes it’s active

[vocal rose]

okay

[hasty harness]

right when my perishables died i got more perishables

💀

[vocal rose]

I mean tbh you’ve already won

[hasty harness]

im just gonna skip to the win

[vocal rose]

you can do whatever to win

[austere escarp]

jokerless was so fun

[clear mulch]

jokerless killed my pet

[white zodiac]

it was cool different the first time

[vocal rose]

idk if the 3x from drivers would be more than the 16x increased from 8x

from sock

i think you keep it

[hasty harness]

omg guys

throwback value

[tawdry burrow]

late needle sucks

[abstract zenith]

Real

[twin lantern]

anybody ever forget what negative is

[lavish compass]

its just so fitting for the greedy joker to be rental

[inland temple]

i need opinion on balancing this thing

[vocal rose]

#⚙・modding-general

for better help

[inland temple]

already asked there

[vocal rose]

that was a front sadly I don’t think you’re allowed to talk about mods here

[white zodiac]

modding chat the deltarune channel

or so ive heard

[pale wolf]

the meedle and the nouth

[vocal quartz]

is there a world where i sell something for invis

[vocal rose]

yes

[pale wolf]

could sell out of license and then vamp/midas once invis active

[inland temple]

FAIR

[vocal rose]

if you want more raw scoring you want repeated x mult

[inland temple]

oops caps

[inland temple]

fair
