[vocal rose]

so another copy of photo or chad

[vocal quartz]

so license is getting killed?

[vocal rose]

yes

[vast delta]

sock goes right? i mean i win either way but, is brainstorm better?

[pale wolf]

this is assuming vamp is below 5.4 or something

[vocal rose]

and then when invis is procced you sell vamp and midas

or save scum

[pale wolf]

but you get much bigger jumps in the future from finding copy jokers so you get rid of vamp midas anyway

[vocal rose]

golden ticket is what you need

[vocal quartz]

invis hit photo yippeee

[vast delta]

i think ima leave brainstorm because with my all wild hand im scoring like 19 mil so it doesn't really matter

[vocal quartz]

vamp is at 12.5

[pale wolf]

hoo boy

[vocal quartz]

now it’s photo, chad, photo, vamp, midas

[vast delta]

i did not happen to look at the next boss however

[stark karma]

piece of shit...

[jagged valve]

This positioning gives more econ, am I correct?

[pale wolf]

aye

[brazen mango]

what does the rework code card do

im confused

[pale wolf]

?? #⚙・modding-general

[vast delta]

hahaha take that goad

[pale wolf]

you showed it whats goad

[prime valve]

I got this run today.

[vast delta]

AND ANTIMATTER AND BRAINSTORM LET'S GO

peaking out

whats best to copy though

[prime valve]

Skittles baseball card I mean its alright

[vocal quartz]

found a golden ticket lmao

[vast delta]

gotta be chad or photo right? (i can never remember which is better)

[tacit oasis]

blast off challenge is just annoying wtf

[pale wolf]

aj actually

[vast delta]

wait yeah you right

[pale wolf]

1.5^10 is more than 8

or uh 16

[vast delta]

truth

[jagged valve]

Is a hybrid build viable here with pareidolia

Wee + Photograph + Pareidolia

[pale wolf]

how does parei help you

[jagged valve]

Still gives photograph 2x

[vast delta]

holy moly

[jagged valve]

Even when feeding wee

[pale wolf]

you win in 1 hand anyways so winning with the wee hand would be worse, not better

you want more wee scaling hands not less

[jagged valve]

I don't think I do?

I had to do 2 5oak

[pale wolf]

wtf

[white zodiac]

that's how you grow scaling jokers, playing more hands not less

[pale wolf]

are you copying photo

[white zodiac]

😐

[jagged valve]

I'm copying Golden ticket

For econ

Then photograph

[pale wolf]

Well copy photo when you want to win

and chad when you want to scale wee

[white zodiac]

which pari has no part in

[jagged valve]

Actually that makes more sense

Yeah I didn't wanna sell any other jokers anyways

[white zodiac]

did you confirm the spectral bug

[pale wolf]

no i got bored

[jagged valve]

Just wanted to possibly get the business anyways

Business value

[white zodiac]

damn

[jagged valve]

Even when Wee

[pale wolf]

ill do it some other time on a better seed

[white zodiac]

hoping you do it since I fucking died

[pale wolf]

ante 5 canio is way too late for testing

[white zodiac]

lars had a better seed

[pale wolf]

great

[white zodiac]

9YY

[eternal solar]

I just realized
Faceless joker is 3 discarded cards out of 3 ranks
Mail and rebate is 1 discarded card out of 1 rank
They both give 5$

They kinda similar

[jagged valve]

I'm braindead

[white zodiac]

canio in first arcana and specials next shop

[jagged valve]

Omfg

I didn't even realize I was on the Needle and tried scaling wee

[pale wolf]

instant death

[white zodiac]

instant lobotomy

[vocal quartz]

got planted on my photochad midas vamp run, hit 66.96 mil, very fun

[jagged valve]

Jump me so I get PTSD and become better

No pain no gain

Anyways time to hold R again (I can't I'm on mobile)

[pale wolf]

hey that is a pretty cool seed

[shell dagger]

aleeb is basically the same start

[bleak socket]

So basically now I'm sad

[rancid niche]

Help I got the luckiest run ever going on I don't wanna fumble it

[quartz ember]

credit card in standard pack

[rancid niche]

Observatory, perkeo, baron mime and 91 plutos in my consumables

What else do I need?

How many red seal steel kings for naneinf with observatory on plasma

Someone please help with the math

[shell dagger]

Depends how may blueprints you have

[rancid niche]

Currently 1 blueprint and one brainstorm

I have negative showman

[vast delta]

why hello natural negative showman

[rancid niche]

Same lmao

[vast delta]

oh same

lmao

[rancid niche]

Jinx

[shell dagger]

66 I think

[rancid niche]

The planets are basically steel kings with no baron and no retrigfering effects

Retriggering*

[rancid niche]

Alright I should start making some steel with my DNA then

[vast delta]

okay once again, is brainstorm better than any of my current jonklers?

[shell dagger]

Put it this way, each king is 12 planets, you need ~876 planets for naneinf so you need (876-91)/12 kings held in hand

[vast delta]

probably sock..?

[rancid niche]

Beautiful thank you

[vast delta]

I mean, it's basically just sock, because it re-triggers the ancient joker anyways

whatever, screw it. goodbye sock hello brainstorm

double yuri action

[supple dune]

Depression kicks in, must’ve rolled $3000 and never found a blueprint or mime in the entire run

[pale wolf]

@white zodiac I hate testing things on mobile

:c

[white zodiac]

something happen

[rancid niche]

I found a mime and a baron in the mega buffoon pack lol

It must be the luckiest run ever

[pale wolf]

no the incantation keeps missing

and i missed the scum

[cloud sinew]

for some stuff I just use brainstorm/immolate to find seeds and then run those same seeds on mobile

[pale wolf]

so i have to restart

[pale wolf]

I have a seed just

[white zodiac]

lmao

we're confirming a mobile exclusive interaction

[pale wolf]

lilo i thought it was fact that non-immolate spectrals dont work with canio

am i hallucinating

[white zodiac]

1 in 2 chance

and by we I mean just zebra since I'm a lazy fuck

[cloud sinew]

gonna do black deck only C++ on my 2nd profile on mobile

[white zodiac]

fun

[eager lynx]

every day i come closer to beating gold stake..

[pale wolf]

i really wanna know where i got the idea of canio spectrals being weird

this happened before where something i thought was concrete fact turned out to not even be slightly real

[fair flower]

Buff idea for idol:
Gives 2x mult when playing one of 5 of your most played cards

[pale wolf]

@cloud sinew LILO
LILO YOU
LILO
LILO

[white zodiac]

😐

[jagged torrent]

New jerker idea [not mine]

[pale wolf]

IT WAS FUCKIG LILO

maybe it got patched without anyone noticing

like rerolling orbital tags

[vast delta]

woo! only 3 more decks to beat on ourple stake 🙏 (abandoned, nebula, and black)

[inland helm]

im joking it

[vocal rose]

people would put a change in the game even unannounced

[zenith sentinel]

What’s balala

[pale wolf]

@fading dome

😭

[fair flower]

Balatro ripoff

Really shitty one at that

[zenith sentinel]

What’s Balatro

[fair flower]

Minecraft mod

[rancid niche]

Balala ripoff probably

[zenith sentinel]

What’s mod

[pale wolf]

I can't believe I've been spreading misinformation for so long

[rancid niche]

Mr. Information will not be happy about that

[pale wolf]

now I'm afraid of giving any information unless I've tested it myself

[zenith sentinel]

I’ll inform Mr Information right away

[white zodiac]

information until proven otherwise

[shell dagger]

i love spreading misinformation it’s my pastime

[zenith sentinel]

The good sir did nothing wrong

He’s a victim

[austere escarp]

bruh

[pale wolf]

Right now I have been information't

[vocal rose]

we take right?

[fading dome]

Zebra spreading misinformation in the balala discord again smh

[austere escarp]

I mean yeah of course

[pale wolf]

no I swear I was misled myself

by someone that almost always knows more than me

[austere escarp]

I am not afraid of no rental

[shell dagger]

Midas can support it

[pale wolf]

especially 9 months ago

[shell dagger]

Ezpz

[pale wolf]

is it possible that it got patched and nobody noticed though

[shell dagger]

Chad ends up being money positive bc u can have more faces held in hand

[austere escarp]

damn

should have opened the pack first

[shell dagger]

Rip

[austere escarp]

well obviously I am getting two tribs it really doesnt get better than that

[tranquil steppe]

I killed perkeo earlier to keep a run going. #noregerts

[fading dome]

In theory, but I doubt it. Cuz that would mean canio got fixed but glass joker didnt

[pale wolf]

yeah, I suppose

😭

[austere escarp]

this game bro

best seed ever

I can go 10 runs without seeing a lick of xmult then have a run where I instantly get 2 tribs and a duo on a pair run

[fading dome]

It's alright, you live and you learn. The wiki's had misinformation on it multiple times already too

[swift tundra]

Rip. Hopefully the wings made up for it 🔥

[mighty topaz]

They didn't

[austere escarp]

bruh

using all my luck in this one run

[pale wolf]

You don't understand, before even the wiki i trusted Lilo... this is like finding out the periodic table on the inside of my textbook is in the wrong order

[austere escarp]

im dead next ante for sure

jesus fucking christ I really am using all my luck in this one run

[pale wolf]

ty for the help lars

[austere escarp]

44 million on ante 4

insane

[swift tundra]

Blueprint purple joker

to make it more fair

[fading dome]

"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies"

[austere escarp]

why would I keep fortune teller 😭

and lucky card hits

[swift tundra]

To give them a good time idk

[pale wolf]

petition to rename triboulet to this

[austere escarp]

we stay winning

[pale wolf]

Tribo

[austere escarp]

tribo

the only thing bad thats happened so far is immolate took a king and a jack

but it literally doesnt matter cause I got wasteful

casual 1.4 billion on ante 4 lol

[swift tundra]

Are you generating any profit or is the ship sinking into debt(hs) at this point?

[pale wolf]

no reason for money now

[faint birch]

flush is awesome

[swift tundra]

seems like revenue is still up

[faint birch]

im doing it

we can do this shit

3 jokers left

[pale wolf]

and this shit being flushes

😎

[swift tundra]

which ones?

[latent egret]

self awareness

[white zodiac]

casual girlbossing

[pale wolf]

probably zany, diet cola, and invisible

those are my guesses

[faint birch]

faceless, paraidolia and stone

[pale wolf]

nailed it

[faint birch]

i did all the hard ones first

[white zodiac]

that was my second guess

[pale wolf]

stone is one of the hard ones imo

[faint birch]

not particularly, i plan on going plasma for it

[latent egret]

honestly para might be better perishable ngl

[swift tundra]

Pareidolia was my second to last, what the heck

[austere escarp]

I actually cant stop pulling temperence

[kindred jasper]

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[pale wolf]

not the winning with it part, the showing up for it part

[swift tundra]

which was weird when I realized, like how the heck has the thing not made it to the end yet

[pale wolf]

Not that I think plasma is ideal for stickering stone Joker

[faint birch]

oh fair

well im bedridden so

[white zodiac]

or stickering in general

[pale wolf]

the only stickerless run i had during my c++ stint was a plasma run

I wanted to get stickers I just didn't have any opportunity because I needed the slots

[faint birch]

i actually think plasma is pretty easy

actually can i confess something

[pale wolf]

You've been lying this whole time

🤪

[white zodiac]

gs evidence

[tranquil steppe]

It’s time to kill rebate for blackboard

[white zodiac]

oh

[faint birch]

i've been playing on anaglyph for the last like 300 stickers

[swift tundra]

Plasma trips me out still, not in a bad way, but a head scratching way. I do understand the jist of it, just not well enough to strategize well.

[faint birch]

i started, didnt stop

[pale wolf]

all 300 of them?

[austere escarp]

damn

[faint birch]

yeah

[austere escarp]

I dont even get a sticker

[faint birch]

never switched off

[pale wolf]

You know you don't have to get them sequentially right?

[faint birch]

yeah

[pale wolf]

you have 8 left

get it in 1 run

[faint birch]

i just did anaglyph and never switched it up. didnt have trouble winning

[tranquil steppe]

I have 300 jokers too

Whoops sorry wrong thread

[jagged valve]

Fun

[tranquil steppe]

Ignore that

Nothing to see here

[austere escarp]

MGM2PNG2 is the seed shit is so good

[faint birch]

i think i started going "i can just negative commons" and then i didn't do that ever

[jagged valve]

Ice Cream isn't even that good but still fomo

[faint birch]

soooo

maybe i switch to a better deck?

what do all the tryhards use

[austere escarp]

abandoned

[tranquil steppe]

Ice cream is an early game joker to buy you time for real jokers

[austere escarp]

yellow

blue

[tranquil steppe]

Just like popcorn

[faint birch]

great i'll do the last one on black deck

just to flex

[latent egret]

ghost

[austere escarp]

ghost is kinda mid but its hella fun

its basically an extra 2 dollars and spectrals appear in the shop

[pale wolf]

dont sell the hex wtf

[faint birch]

honestly a pairadolia run on abandoned with faceless joker would be really good

[heady narwhal]

don't sell the hex wtf

[austere escarp]

selling the hex does me well

[jaunty crescent]

Would you pick hologram or chad here?

[pale wolf]

chad

[austere escarp]

I dont always sell it but most of the time its better imo

[faint birch]

well hologram because deck thinning is a myth and i refuse to believe it

photochad is lame

[tranquil steppe]

Always sell hex

[faint birch]

it might work but it's cringe

[austere escarp]

Like if I hit a grimbo or bus ill slap it with hex but I would rather just sell to hit an interest threshold

[jaunty crescent]

That's the way i was leaning but wasn't sure if it was right

[pale wolf]

I think they're pretty equally valued here though

[faint birch]

the hell is a grimbo

[pale wolf]

hallucination helps with hologram

[austere escarp]

green joker

[pale wolf]

green im o

[faint birch]

oh

lol

[tranquil steppe]

Hologram bois

[austere escarp]

I crave a good green joker run

double tribs is cool and all but green joker is too satisfying

[pale wolf]

[white zodiac]

recently

[pale wolf]

grimbo

[white zodiac]

oh

[clear mulch]

my dreams

[pale wolf]

110 grimbo

[clear mulch]

my cooler dreams

[austere escarp]

double grimbo is fire

[swift tundra]

Gold stake, Hologram is in the first shop and you can afford it but nothing else. Green Joker is also in the first shop. Next shop will have no jokers and the third shop will have useless rental commons. What do you do with this foresight?

[white zodiac]

with a side of no x mult

[shell dagger]

Green every time

[clear mulch]

green joker obviously??? is this even a question

[austere escarp]

green cause hologram aint doing nothing if ur broke

[white zodiac]

grimbo versus zebra incident

[shell dagger]

Id only take hologram here if the foresight was a holographic certificate in shop 2 buffoon or something

[swift tundra]

See, you think it's obvious, but I take Hologram every time and lose because I'm a sucker

[austere escarp]

if you think about it green joker is like x2 mult within a couple of hands at the start of the game

[pale wolf]

probably the eternal constellation

[clear mulch]

now with this information you know to take the grass jmbo

[austere escarp]

I used to hate green joker so much its really funny

[swift tundra]

I will still probably take Hologram because I never learn

[white zodiac]

doc still hates him which is weird

[faint birch]

ah right green probably goes crazy with pair build

[austere escarp]

the imo green joker was responding to someone asking what the worst joker in the game is

[pale wolf]

i never hated groker but i did have misconceptions about how bad discarding is when you hold him
its really not that bad

[plucky silo]

GUYS I JUST GOT MY FIRST EVER GOLD STAKE WIN

[white zodiac]

after a year you'd think the hate potency would die down

[plucky silo]

LETS GOOOO

[white zodiac]

yeah

[austere escarp]

W

[faint birch]

im gonna c++ and i also finally have boobs from starting estrogen, life couldnt be better

[austere escarp]

Plasma deck is a harder one on gold stake so thats fire

[pale wolf]

That zodiac message is funny

[austere escarp]

real shit

[clear mulch]

happy for ya 🩷

[plucky silo]

had to sell photograph on the last round, luckily had some glass cards to back up

[pale wolf]

what joker did you sell?

[barren wigeon]

what if you had a red lobster cheddar bay biscuit

[pale wolf]

ooh

[faint birch]

never had red lobster

[plucky silo]

photograph, had glass cards in deck that did the job

[clear mulch]

what about green lobster

[pale wolf]

You have bull and no chips

what gives

[plucky silo]

uhhh

happy accident

[barren wigeon]

missing out

[pale wolf]

Where'd all your money go

[plucky silo]

:D

[pale wolf]

did you get oxed

[faint birch]

oh btw i just sold yorrick for popcorn

[pale wolf]

oh my Lord you got oxed

[faint birch]

lol lmao

[clear mulch]

based

[plucky silo]

😔

shit happens

glad i didn’t get plant

[plucky silo]

🗣️🗣️🗣️

[pale wolf]

who wouldve thought bull gets screwed by the ox

[shell dagger]

How much money did you lose

[pale wolf]

-120

[shell dagger]

6 credits cards

[plucky silo]

too much

[white zodiac]

40 mult

darn

wait no

nvm

[pale wolf]

The evil thing about bull on ox is that it won't read the money you had before that hand, only how much money you immediately have when the bull is scored

[austere escarp]

time to play blue deck to maximize my pair brainrot

[plucky silo]

2pair better

best hand actually

[austere escarp]

magic deck tho has recently become one of my favorite decks

[pale wolf]

on black and plasma yea

[jagged torrent]

Blue seels<3

[plucky silo]

yeah i noticed

[plucky silo]

wait what fr?

[fading cobalt]

I hate plasma deck

[plucky silo]

:c

[fading cobalt]

I won but had to use photochad

It disgusted me to my core

[pale wolf]

yeah, they're nearly as easy to draw as pairs while having much better chip scaling and more cards for effects

it makes up for the scoring deficit in black and the chips are a bigger benefit in early plasma

[plucky silo]

ah

[fair flower]

Any tips for hunting seeds? I've been trying to get a lucky cat and idol seed for a while now.

[plucky silo]

it’s a joke among my friends that 2 pair is simply the best hand, no matter what

so i’m surprised to hear that

[austere escarp]

ITS FINALLY YOUR TIME

[pale wolf]

on pc, you can use immolate program or brainstorm mod
or here you can #1156061354076155944 or theres a seed site online thats kinda janky but exists

[fair flower]

2 pair carried me on most of my runs

[austere escarp]

god it took forever to find an obelisk

[pale wolf]

had me checking the stake over here

[jagged torrent]

Obe licks

[plucky silo]

🗣️🗣️🗣️

[fair flower]

God dammit I really should've bought balatro on pc

[austere escarp]

kinda a bad time for obelisk but hey whatever

[shell dagger]

2 pair planet is approx 1.35x stronger than pair planet on normal decks, on plasma it is 1.8x

[pale wolf]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxzqEHOBlBljLR8O8oEcnwIShI-2UaVQ2b?si=Z_ThAhk-0CB4rKA9

[plucky silo]

let’s gooo

[white zodiac]

slightly better adverse options, chips scale twice as fast as pairs and allows on card scoring options for harder decks with little room for hand specific runs

[clear mulch]

why scissors in the title

oh its a clip

[plucky silo]

goddamn i thought it was genuinely a pretty bad hand

thanks for educating me yall

🙏🙏🙏

[pale wolf]

for some reason a little used feature even though it's kind of sick for pointing out specific parts of videos rather than timestamps

[fair flower]

Straight flush is the worst one by far, and you can still make that one work

[white zodiac]

mmm

I argue fh

[clear mulch]

i thought it was lesbian representation

[plucky silo]

yeah i thought pair was the best hand

[barren wigeon]

nah

[plucky silo]

maybe five flush?

flush five

[white zodiac]

strush I've made work on black deck before

[plucky silo]

mb

[pale wolf]

seems like an unproductive argument tbh

[barren wigeon]

full houses are easier to make and have more synergies

[white zodiac]

well none of the secret hands would-

[white zodiac]

yeah

[plucky silo]

true

[white zodiac]

oh you're on my red seal list for something that makes sense

[clear mulch]

disregarding high card and pairs, i'd prefer three of a kinds

since its easier to make

and the scaling is almost on pair with full houses

[plucky silo]

nah

2 pair

[shell dagger]

Full house best use is scaling pants when Uranus is levelled up (real)

[pale wolf]

they were?

[white zodiac]

well yeah, fh has like 4 easier alternative hands lol

[white zodiac]

I forgot what it was

[barren wigeon]

3oak is definitely better than fh but fh is still better than strush

[barren wigeon]

is it this

[fair flower]

Eh you can at least upgrade full house if you get it in a celestial and have no way of upgrading two pair.

I never had any reason to ever use Neptune other than scaling up my constellation

[austere escarp]

how many hands is enough hands to pivot for obelisk

[barren wigeon]

im pretty sure its because of that

[austere escarp]

currently at 13 pairs

[barren wigeon]

what are you trying to pivot to

[white zodiac]

oh the hand scaling argument

[pale wolf]

That is good enough

You can go further for safety if you can survive it though

[white zodiac]

13 works

8 if you're silly

[austere escarp]

its less about trying to pivot to something else more so pivoting out of pairs

[pale wolf]

if you have 13 pairs and absolutely no other hands its more than enough

[barren wigeon]

the number would still depend

[fair flower]

I never really got canio to work in an unseeded run

[austere escarp]

I got smiley and chad I think ill finish ante 2 out

[barren wigeon]

I love canio

[shell dagger]

Waht if u play 13 pairs by ante 3

[austere escarp]

with pairs

[pale wolf]

holy moly

I mean as long as it makes the game easier with that kind of scoring I would probably go like 20 pairs LMFAO

[terse vale]

would love some mult right about now

[fair flower]

It's definitely my favorite joker by visual and mechanical design, cause I loved the Pagliacci oepra.

[fiery nymph]

camp 😿

[fair flower]

Also why is Baron in bottom tier @barren wigeon ?

[white zodiac]

sure it would

[barren wigeon]

baron is bad

[wintry ice]

impractical

[fair flower]

Exuce me what?

[wintry ice]

like extremely impractical

[barren wigeon]

hard to deckfix for

[fiery nymph]

its a highscore joker, not good for a practical run to ante 8

[fair flower]

Fair enough

[pale wolf]

peak scoring isnt the measure of consistency

[fiery nymph]

especially on higher stakes

[pale wolf]

and consistency is the measure of skill on gold stake

[shell dagger]

As a lategame scoring option it is vulnerable to bosses, bottom decking, and requires a high base mult

[austere escarp]

stop giving me good stuff my econ is in shambles

[wintry ice]

baron needs a lot of setup for a reward that doesn't matter much outside of endless

[shell dagger]

Regardless of lategame potential it is not good in ante 8 runs

[fair flower]

Gold seal on a face card will maybe help

[barren wigeon]

hmm

eternal arrowhead

[shell dagger]

True she should just get a certificate as well

And Midas mask

[barren wigeon]

yes...?

or open pack...

ill open pack

gambling never fails

[shell dagger]

I love picking my jokers from the infinite field of possibilities instead of the shop

[barren wigeon]

not infinite actually

[fair flower]

I just said what could help, Jesus

[barren wigeon]

no legendary

[austere escarp]

its time

[barren wigeon]

GRIMBO!!!!

[white zodiac]

oh

[pale wolf]

oh shucks I would take that half Joker

[shell dagger]

I’m gonna find a bijection between the jokers and the naturals brb

[barren wigeon]

3oak time

[minor portal]

even then, the list is finite, and most certainly not infinite

[austere escarp]

if I wasnt pivoting out of pairs I probably would lowkey

[pale wolf]

I didn't realize the smiley was perishable, half joker is plenty of mult for obelisk

[terse vale]

? yeah its amazing

[crystal field]

wouldnt hand types for obelisk become limited

[austere escarp]

I guess we can do straights

[crystal field]

no more twopair

[white zodiac]

you can just use the 3 card hand on the last hand when it gets big enough

[barren wigeon]

found brainstorm

fixing for aces maybe

[pale wolf]

That's the cool part, you won't even overscore while scaling obelisk because you can turn half Joker off at will

[white zodiac]

more of a joker that increases the obyliks ceiling

[crystal field]

thats a good point

[terse vale]

jesus christ man

[austere escarp]

suddenly I regret not taking half joker

I mean I have no choice but to take blue joker dont I

the pack might have something decent

[pale wolf]

I would take it over Mr bones i think

[austere escarp]

I could also reroll

[crystal field]

your econ bro

[uncut bison]

i got my first unseeded naneinf today on round 69 with 67 cards left

[fading cobalt]

I smell obelisk run

[austere escarp]

yea no shit I bought obelisk in the first shop

[crystal field]

wait so why are you at $7 in ante 4

[pale wolf]

nice

[fading cobalt]

Getting naneinf while not copying correctly is crazy

[uncut bison]

i was copying for mime bro

[white zodiac]

the eternal constellation effect

[uncut bison]

for gold......

[fading cobalt]

Oh did you move your copies

[fading cobalt]

My fault bro

[uncut bison]

yes.

np

[austere escarp]

I regret him and his stupid face

[terse vale]

fuck we’re rolling in it

saved

[barren wigeon]

id love and appreciate a scholar

[pale wolf]

oh Christ never mind he goes

[crystal field]

you were too broke for this pimp

constellation wants u to atleast have like $40 in the bank so greedy and hungry

[austere escarp]

I genuinely just need a lick of mult and I will be fine

[pale wolf]

I can't wait to go home and play a Blue Deck run

[crystal field]

relatable

[austere escarp]

I am considering rerolling

[crystal field]

i have to make breakcore when i get home its gonna cut out of my balatro time :(

[austere escarp]

Cause I CAN sell shortcut

[crystal field]

fmsbl

[austere escarp]

I just dont want to

[crystal field]

hmmm

[pale wolf]

if you aren't dead next round then I would not spend any money

[crystal field]

sell and dont reroll

yea

[pale wolf]

I would keep for the round at least and sell before the round ends maybe

[austere escarp]

idk how I am going to get 13500 with no mult

[pale wolf]

To get a few more straight scales on obelisk

[crystal field]

slime face

[pale wolf]

oh but if you're dead then I think re-rolling is the way, even just empress

[austere escarp]

lemme bust out the balatro calculator for this one

[crystal field]

hmmmm

[clear mulch]

stencil carried

[austere escarp]

oh wait my dumbass forgot I had mr bones

ill just let eat the bones

its fine

[uncut bison]

i know

[rancid niche]

Can I go for ante 39 after naneinf?

With observatory

Or does the game crash

[uncut bison]

yeah u can

[barren wigeon]

i love grimbo

[uncut bison]

dont exit the game after u hit ur first naneinf though

[rancid niche]

I'm at ante 27 already which is my highest ever

[rancid niche]

Or it'll crash

[austere escarp]

yay

[rancid niche]

I did the crimson bean finally

[terse vale]

nothing I could do

[uncut bison]

yeah it'll crash when u try to reopen the run

[rancid niche]

Nat negative showman is crazy

[terse vale]

ZERO FUCKING CONSUMABLES IN SHOP

[crystal field]

bus!!!!

[rancid niche]

Alright thank youuu

[terse vale]

AND THE BANANA NEVER BROKE

[austere escarp]

I find it really funny going from smiley face into bus

[crystal field]

if your chips are in order you chilling then ?

[rancid niche]

Bus is better

[crystal field]

well yes

[terse vale]

AND I CANT SACRIFICE ANY SLOTS

[steel mesa]

Hello i'm new here and i start play balatro

[stiff ore]

WoF actually proc'd

[austere escarp]

nah cause its the needle and I am really good at throwing

[terse vale]

THE ONLY THING POSSIBLE TO HOPE FOR WAS A SUPERNOVA

[austere escarp]

wsg

[rancid niche]

Hitting poly is good

[steel mesa]

Idk how to win

[uncut bison]

that feeling when u dont look at the boss blind and you fall for the psychic or the eye

[pale wolf]

hi

[steel mesa]

@pale wolf hi

[austere escarp]

idk either

[rancid niche]

Or the plant

[white zodiac]

could limit your other poker hands if it's a technical concern

[rancid niche]

Sadge

[white zodiac]

oh

[swift tundra]

or the mouth, ruined an 11x mult vampire run for me

[crystal field]

ggs

[rancid niche]

The needle is unforgiving

[barren wigeon]

I currently need Xmult or more aces

[pale wolf]

so theres this player, drspectred, who is the best at the game
he has a YouTube channel called balatro university with a bunch of different playlists of educational content for balatro
check him out

[uncut bison]

NOOOO not the rare and incredibly op vampire build

[austere escarp]

I took bus then hit next and I am really good at not paying attention and it was the needle

[crystal field]

yea honestly fuck the needle so bad

[pale wolf]

I thought you were using bones

[crystal field]

i hate that boss

[crystal field]

for big blind before she got bus

[austere escarp]

I used bones on the big blind

[pale wolf]

ooh

[placid cedar]

Yesterday i asked about this run. Finally got it!

[pale wolf]

rip:(

[swift tundra]

yeah it sucked big time, played a non-leveled straight to feed vampire like an absolute moron

[uncut bison]

W

[pale wolf]

the half joker was the wave

missed your wave

now youll never be surf champion

[austere escarp]

I really did

[crystal field]

half joker is mean

[barren wigeon]

Todd is quite good rn

[austere escarp]

I didnt want to commit to it cause it was eternal and it limits what I can play with obelisk

took a risk and lost

thats the game

[austere escarp]

well who knows when I will see obelisk again

[tranquil steppe]

Miracles do happen. Spent my last $10 on a reroll hoping to get luchador to stop violet vessel

[crystal field]

TBF I literally thought the same thing but zebra explained it well

[uncut bison]

great question

[brazen mango]

uhh

what

[pale wolf]

i think half is WEIRD

[brazen mango]

uhhhhh

[austere escarp]

That 20 mult would have been more than enough I had so much chips

[uncut bison]

we love cryptid

[austere escarp]

I had 4 bonus cards and a foil chad

[rancid niche]

Which one is your pick to counter the needle ?

[barren wigeon]

walled

ggs

[pale wolf]

chicot obv

[uncut bison]

i actually havent countered it before lol, needle usually comes at a good time for me

[austere escarp]

I miss chicot

I would have really apprieciated him here

[barren wigeon]

unless of course I find mr skellybones

[rancid niche]

Chigoat carried my run and I'm scoring e129 something rn

[pale wolf]

sleeper needle counter is merry andy

[uncut bison]

i love merry andy

[pale wolf]

another sleeper needle counter is acrobat

[rancid niche]

Can't say the same, most my gold stake runs happen to have card sharp

[uncut bison]

ahhh of course

[austere escarp]

cause I ended up being forced to downgrade my planet levels on The Arm in order to be able to win and that sucked

I had a level 2 two pair

[rancid niche]

Hah yeah I always love it when I have acrobat and get the needle

[crystal field]

this just unlocked my memory of my first golden needle win with early acrobat

[pale wolf]

between eye, needle, and scaling issues, ive come to the conclusion that acrobat is better

[white zodiac]

heiroglyph

[pale wolf]

than carp sharp

[rancid niche]

Oh no extra large blind

[brazen mango]

oh no

[pale wolf]

gotta love a negligible wall/vv

[white zodiac]

mmm I still say shark

[austere escarp]

gonna make some food before I collapse and get back on the balatro grind I gotta at least get a sticker today

[pale wolf]

cark shark?

[barren wigeon]

I only dont lose if I get 3 4oaks

[white zodiac]

mostly cause of other blinds

[rancid niche]

Acrobat is my second favorite x3 mult joker

[uncut bison]

oh golly gosh darn it

[pale wolf]

for me it's the scaling that does carp in

[stiff ore]

this'll be a run one

[rancid niche]

Should I just kill the run?

[pale wolf]

You end up overscoring with sharp where you dont with acro

[rancid niche]

Ante 27 and still no antimatter tho

Must be trolling

[woven spire]

heheheheh

[barren wigeon]

barely lost because I got only 2 4oaks

Lost by like 300k

ggs man

[white zodiac]

scaling control is still possible with sharp pen

[uncut bison]

you should be winning by a lot no?

[barren wigeon]

sometimes you just get vesseled

[pale wolf]

its finicky

[rancid niche]

I am scoring e129 for now and making around 700 dollars per round

[pale wolf]

i find myself overscoring at least

[crystal field]

if +mult is shit or not scaling x3 for 3/4 hands is helpful I still think chard slarps worst fault is how badly its countered by needle and eye

[barren wigeon]

I mightve had a chance if I got glass cards but I was broke anyways

next run smh

[uncut bison]

are you serpent farming yet?

[rancid niche]

I surely need to start rerolling for serpent next ante

[rancid niche]

Not yet I don't need it

I'm saving

[barren wigeon]

AND NOW I GET THE FUCKING SCHOLAR

[uncut bison]

yea dont kill the run then

ante 32 might be hard though

[white zodiac]

I value more score with fewer resources on average even with its hard counter discrepancies

barely

[hollow temple]

This shop sucks

[white zodiac]

even on black kinda

[hollow temple]

There’s nothing good

[white zodiac]

me when I lie

[uncut bison]

nothing gooda t all

[tranquil steppe]

VICTORY! As much as it pained me, selling perkeo got the dub

[uncut bison]

except superposition superposition is the goat

[rancid niche]

I can naneinf rn, next ante I'm getting antimatter because it's the last voucher, and I don't know what else I need other than more blueprints

[woven spire]

showman feels like a gamble here

[rancid niche]

The easiest wins come with superposition

[rancid niche]

It's bait, you need xmult

[quartz ember]

if you are fine without abstract then why not

[rancid niche]

Other than cat

[woven spire]

yh i think the same

[empty mauve]

What should I copy to get the most points

[rancid niche]

You're playing face cards?

[quartz ember]

wait you wouldnt be

[rancid niche]

Arrowhead

[woven spire]

eights

[blazing plank]

I liked learning that even in ancient philosophy in ancient greece, the concept and saying of Wheel of Fortune ("Rota Fortunae") was already considered cliche, and old fashioned
so the concept must be beyond ancient
people have felt they've had an unfair amount of bad luck since the beginning of time

[empty mauve]

Okay

[rancid niche]

Oh alright

[hollow temple]

Should I risk wraith?

[uncut matrix]

no

[austere escarp]

long balala

[rancid niche]

Bait

[austere escarp]

wraith has too many bad pulls for it to be worth

[rancid niche]

It's campfire (which is not that bad) or hit the road

[heavy heron]

arrowhead

[rancid niche]

Early wraith gets the wraith

[quartz ember]

you could and you might not even die immediately

[austere escarp]

campfire isnt nearly as good on white stake tho

[rancid niche]

I love early wraith

[crystal field]

naur

familiar

or skip

[rancid niche]

I wasn't paying attention to the stake

Still not too bad

[austere escarp]

someone pick a deck for me

[rancid niche]

Nebula

[austere escarp]

fine

but I dont like u for it

[rancid niche]

I feel like nebula doesn't get that much love

[rancid niche]

Come on it's a great deck

[uncut bison]

nebula gold stake is the most playable gold stake to ever be created

[austere escarp]

oh ur too far gone I see

[rancid niche]

Bit hard on gold stake but the telescope is worth it

[pale wolf]

somehow I don't think it was the same sort of wheel of Fortune that spins and lands on an option as the one we think about

but perhaps it was

[uncut bison]

along with green deck and black deck

[austere escarp]

I dont really like nebula at all

[rancid niche]

Telescope is always worth

[pale wolf]

I don't think anybody really does

[austere escarp]

I feel like magic deck is better in almost everyway

[barren wigeon]

obelisk

[white zodiac]

flint

[crystal field]

its more fun for sure

[white zodiac]

eye

[crystal field]

nebula isnt even bad its just boring

[rancid niche]

Believe it or not I've never had an obelisk run

[white zodiac]

but it is bad mechanically

and in terms of like

overall power

[rancid niche]

Consumable slots are so important

[barren wigeon]

relatable

[austere escarp]

okay its not the decks fault I discarded poorly but I find it immensely funny I die ante 1

[rancid niche]

Want me to pick a different deck?

[uncut bison]

real ones have died on big blind ante 1 before

[floral mural]

play ghost deck

[crystal field]

imean yea, telescope voucher can be powerful but if theres no packs or cant affrd packs whats the point

[pale wolf]

Green deck

[rancid niche]

I feel like it needs a change

[pale wolf]

you'll never streak

[uncut bison]

mobile gaming

[uncut bison]

its black deck gold cmon

[white zodiac]

and early game messing up telescope

[vale mist]

2 arrow 2 chad: 5 + 4 triggers each with 100 chips = 900 chips
3 arrow 1 chad: 5 + 2 triggers each with 150 chips: 1050 chips

[austere escarp]

the benefits of having the telescope compared to having two fools that you can use on a planet early on just isnt worth the -1 consumbale slot

[rancid niche]

Torture

[austere escarp]

go for it

ill play it after ghost

[floral mural]

green deck at least offers a unique challange unlike nebula which is less interesting inventory management

[crystal field]

thats true, not to mention fool can be used for other things while telescope is just planet scoring

[blazing plank]

Oh it's pretty darn similar

[white zodiac]

magic deck is just nebula with instant telescope benefits

[rancid niche]

I was gonna say ghost anyway lol, good luck

[uncut bison]

like wheel of fortune 🤔

[white zodiac]

and blue seal value 👅

[crystal field]

yea or lovers

[pale wolf]

well it's not the wheel being spun to determine what is happening To the people, the people are on the wheel and it is being spun

[rancid niche]

Ghost is so fun I just wanted you to have a good run ngl

[vale mist]

damn economy tag

[austere escarp]

wonderful joker selection

[white zodiac]

investment*

[austere escarp]

mad isnt bad I guess

[vale mist]

o ya lol

[blazing plank]

sure, same difference, the people who end up on top get lucky and those on the bottom get unlucky

[austere escarp]

probably going to sell the hex here

[pale wolf]

I mean I guess, I feel like I could have assumed that the wheel is spinning in some manner

since that's what wheels do

[austere escarp]

nevermind my boy came back I aint skipping you again

[white zodiac]

oh

[austere escarp]

my dog ate my joker lookn ahh

[white zodiac]

personally I have other plans but yeah

i just didn't do the hw

[blazing plank]

"Fortune favors you" was litterally the greek god Fortuna favoring you lol

[barren wigeon]

FIB

I LOVE YOU FIB

[stark karma]

for the people who call campfire a bad joker

[austere escarp]

it would be really funny

[stark karma]

beat the boss with a single hand

[lusty estuary]

🥹

[austere escarp]

I thought of the most fucked up joke for some reason

[pale wolf]

which continued on into the concept of Lady luck

[pale wolf]

spit it out balatro representative

[vale mist]

✋😐🤚

[austere escarp]

cause of all those cloud nines

[pale wolf]

😎

[lusty estuary]

say it lol

[austere escarp]

ehh I really want to but I dont think its balatro moderator approved

[pale wolf]

send it to me and I'll say it

[empty mauve]

Plasma deck beaten on gold stake!

[lusty estuary]

peak balatro 🥹

[white zodiac]

or me

I don't have anything to lose

[austere escarp]

Ive been told a couple of times to watch what I say so probably not

[pale wolf]

now I can say absolutely anything and say that it was juice's joke

[floral mural]

still recovering from the incident huh

[vale mist]

how in the world does this happen in ante 2

[austere escarp]

exactly why we are not going down that route

[pale wolf]

honestly I was going to say the joke you sent me, but it's just too racist

[austere escarp]

if you have heard the joke before you might get it...

[pale wolf]

Not even me

[austere escarp]

nein nein nein nein

[pale wolf]

I get it! this never leaves

[turbid imp]

ecto and ankh did me dirty

[austere escarp]

thats crazy slander lmfao

[white zodiac]

could've been worse
now you have a chips joker

[sly osprey]

I came to see what people were talking about and I'm a just...

[pale wolf]

Two actually🤪

[white zodiac]

oh hi

[swift tundra]

That's not a bad outcome, just tell space man to do his job

[lusty estuary]

i picked up cloud nine on the first shop then on the buffoon pack i got the next shop there was a ghost joker. Then a couple of spectral packs with Ankhs got me here

[pale wolf]

hihi

[austere escarp]

howdy

[pale wolf]

invisible?

[terse vale]

are we looking at the same set of jokers mane

[lusty estuary]

so how’d u come up with this joke 😭❔

[sly osprey]

Juice you're so close to 150

[pale wolf]

I was kidding to be clear

[lusty estuary]

oh wait yeah idk why i call it ghost for some reason since that’s what i thought it was before i got it

[pale wolf]

It's a fair assessment, you can only see his collar and hat because the Joker himself is invisible
sort of like what a ghost wearing a hat would look like

[empty mauve]

The game didn’t count my win for some reason 😭

[white zodiac]

zebra and juice should get role interlinking where both of them would get banned if one of them does

[austere escarp]

I knooooow

[lusty estuary]

that happened to me on my first god stake plasma deck win ;-; k still haven’t won it since then

[turbid imp]

got full house to level 30 before ante 8 boss

[pale wolf]

Superhuzition

[austere escarp]

what happens if I ban zebra then

[pale wolf]

i become legendary joker role I think

[austere escarp]

and I get demoted

[white zodiac]

copy left card to right card

[pale wolf]

aka super-jesus

[bleak blaze]

Good afternoon chat

[coarse silo]

Huh

[pale wolf]

what is with the quadruple duplicate runs In the past 5 minutes

First four cloud 9, then this

[red thistle]

Friends arranged hangout and i need new hardware and my wallet can't sustain both.

[pale wolf]

why do you need to spend money at a hangout

[red thistle]

Because we're going out and it'll be boring not to do so.

[bleak blaze]

Chat has an overwhelming amount of silly today

[pale wolf]

hmm

[white zodiac]

gas

[barren wigeon]

I can see why doc wants blue seals nerfed

these shits are broken

[floral mural]

how do you nerf them without completely killing them tho

[red thistle]

Reworking.

[pale wolf]

I can't believe I was at the point where I was watching so many doc vids that I felt like I was getting bored of things I had never even played
I would go into my own game with its pathetic 2-streak and avoid photo Chad as if I have that right

[barren wigeon]

idk it wasnt my idea

[terse dock]

1/2 to produce a random card 1/2 to produce final hand of round

[floral mural]

is my question (making them chance based just makes you play the same way with them. spam them anyways)

[pale wolf]

Make them affected by card blocking

It's the only way that doesn't encourage you just having more blue seals in hand, making small hands even better

[floral mural]

itd also give showman a niche

[white zodiac]

needs more bigger poker hand flexibility

[floral mural]

a very tiny small one but still

[pale wolf]

I think observatory would have to be reworked in this case though

[terse dock]

Blue stake rework

[pale wolf]

which it should be anyways observatory sucks

[terse vale]

ok gg

[pale wolf]

super gg

[barren wigeon]

please leaf

[coarse silo]

Ante 1 burglar is a interesting choice

[barren wigeon]

I have a trading card that im willing to sell

LEAF ME

[pale wolf]

It's a very good choice

[cursive lion]

woops wrong forward

[barren wigeon]

LEAF!!!!!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[white zodiac]

that will still encourage smaller hands

[coarse silo]

Oh wait yeah

Because of money

[barren wigeon]

If i dont fumble like shit abandoned deck gold stake

[floral mural]

burglar is just generally a good joker for helping facilitate pair spam

[pale wolf]

and the potential for a hand scaler, like he already has in square

[uncut bison]

what do we think? are these jokers good enough to beat ante 32?

[floral mural]

burglar at worse is just a drunkard and drunkard is an alright joker too. even if big hand burglar isnt ideal

[white zodiac]

bigger poker hands have to artificially nerf their discards and hands to keep a desired seal whereas the the smaller 3-4 card hands can just forget about this risk

[barren wigeon]

speaking of doc

new doc video

epic!

[white zodiac]

oh god

hes going to piss me off again

[pale wolf]

The worst part is that there's no telling if he's serious or not

who knows what his peak output actually looks like

[white zodiac]

the campfire bit was definitely intentional

there's no way

[barren wigeon]

W docbait

ABANDONED DECK GOLD STAKE

[pale wolf]

who here watched docs segment at fast 52

[barren wigeon]

3oak aces with fib grimbo scholar and acrobat

[barren wigeon]

me!!!

[white zodiac]

im more of a volume at 0 guy

[pale wolf]

it was really entertaining

[white zodiac]

wait elaborate

[shell dagger]

Yeaj i heard mystic summit is OP in the early game

[pale wolf]

doc has a god run for his first attempt and then just throws it
and then he gets another God run on the next attempt

[shell dagger]

And a polychrome

[white zodiac]

was this the straight run into needle or was that a different one

cause I thought that was in his 40s

[pale wolf]

it was high score runs trying to get e52 I think, at Ludwig's event

[uncut bison]

that's what im saying

[humble lichen]

is there anything i can do for ante 39 other than praying for observatory, direcors + retcon and eventually getting steel kings

[white zodiac]

oh that one

that one was funny

[pale wolf]

it was actually like such a great moment for balatro

he gets 2 very good high scoring runs with completely different methods

In just like an hour and 20

[shell dagger]

At least he got e80 in 80 minutes

[fervent wolf]

I actually don't take invis here, right

[uncut bison]

i guess you can pray for ectos too

[uncut bison]

sell acrobat because invis hitting shortcut would be so much score

[swift tundra]

the risk is too high it hits shortcut in my opinion

[proper turtle]

what do replace bp with, supernova is +30 on a lvl 1 full house

[fervent wolf]

Yeah

[twin lantern]

damn what to do hmm playing pairs, but have plenty of glass but this mime was pulling weight too squares are 160 each, bull 180 so about same

[pale wolf]

I think baseball card goes

[viscid mango]

i quite like this random seed lmfao natural negative show man double legends got a dupe from showman

[woven spire]

that dusk might be bait.

[barren wigeon]

it isnt

[proper turtle]

bbc gives x2.25 for the card sharp and acrobat

[barren wigeon]

bye chad

[wintry ice]

i guess it's better for car

[pale wolf]

thank you for letting me know

[barren wigeon]

everything else gives more

[woven spire]

ight

[barren wigeon]

you still get rid of the bbc

[woven spire]

🚙

[barren wigeon]

what's best deck to high score on

besides plasma

I dont wanna plasma

ghost?

[pale wolf]

getting rid of Cavendish would be a mistake, and getting rid of one of the uncommons would make bbc worse
therefore BBC goes

[swift tundra]

yeah ghost

[proper turtle]

i mean lol yeah didnt want to sound like that

[proper turtle]

fair reasoning

[uncut bison]

i'm so good at the game, i don't even have to play hands to get far

[pale wolf]

perhaps the safest option actually is getting rid of Cavendish because it can kill itself

when your consistency reaches above 1 in a thousand chance of loss

[proper turtle]

with bbc out the scoring is much better with the 1st hand

[terse vale]

scaling mult joker please

i’d like a side of buttery lobster with my juicy steak please

[austere escarp]

am I crazy or is ur game extra vibrant

[pale wolf]

You are crazy

[willow frost]

start making cryptids please

[terse vale]

I mean ok that works too shit

[austere escarp]

the 20 hours without sleep is catching up to me

[white zodiac]

immune to media compression

[fiery nymph]

hieroglyph please

[white zodiac]

how many

[pale wolf]

I thought it was going to be that texture swap where things are anti-aliased and more contrasty

[fiery nymph]

😿

[white zodiac]

undergrad moment

[terse vale]

oh I don’t see why not ya

[fiery nymph]

my fav voucher

[pale wolf]

I think of all the things in the game, my opinion on the glyph vouchers has moved around the most

[austere escarp]

cant go to sleep my partner comes home from Prudhoe bay in 2 hours

[shell dagger]

go to sleeep

[uncut bison]

my fav voucher is illusion because it's always a must take no matter the build

[austere escarp]

you speaking mad facts

but nah

[fiery nymph]

i started thinking it was useless until i found out scale jokers existed

[pale wolf]

at first I thought it was useless, and then I thought it was amazing, and then I realized that it actually removes more hands than it gives unless you're pretty late in the game, and then I realized other things

[uncut bison]

i used to think green joker was complete garbage omds

[austere escarp]

I had a chance to do the bone zone in a gold stake run once I wish I saved the seed

[twin lantern]

looks like right call xd
