[ember plinth]

needle is actually evil

[stark karma]

what are you talking about

[proper bronze]

i can't play straights cause i'm not straight

[barren wigeon]

I dont think thats true

[rugged pecan]

Guys did I break Balatro?

[barren wigeon]

in my dark twisted mind

[fading cobalt]

Wow

Is this girl math

[tired kestrel]

wait does bones save you if you're 25% within or 25% off of the blind size i forgot

[barren wigeon]

Ash o '

[pale wolf]

runner isnt a straight joker

[tulip pond]

within a quarter of blind requirements

[fading cobalt]

If you score 25% of the boss blinds required score

[tired kestrel]

oh nvm i just forgor

[pale wolf]

you scale it with straights but your build isnt straights for scoring

[tired kestrel]

STILL

[plucky silo]

guys what deck should i try to gold stake next

[rugged pecan]

It fixed itself

[proper bronze]

the order isn't a straight joker

[barren wigeon]

black

[tired kestrel]

Painted deck

[plucky silo]

i’m thinking hex

[plucky silo]

no.

[pale wolf]

???

blocked

[barren wigeon]

plasma

[white zodiac]

unconditional scoring
conditional scaling
pair joker

[plucky silo]

sure 🗣️🗣️

[opal delta]

25% within

[tired kestrel]

Painted deck is goated

[white zodiac]

damn

[plucky silo]

did yesterday, first gold

:p

[pale wolf]

what no

[fading dome]

iirc this happens on console when you have too many investment tags

[barren wigeon]

yellow

[plucky silo]

okkk

[tired kestrel]

bit late

[plucky silo]

🗣️🗣️

[fading cobalt]

Did order come out as gay?

[ember plinth]

plasma is lowkey the hardest to gold

[rugged pecan]

Yeahhh that’d make sense

[pale wolf]

you have to get 25% or more of the blind requirement with bones

[white zodiac]

fair enough

[plucky silo]

did it on my first try 😝😝😝😝😝

[tired kestrel]

yea trhats what that meant

[rugged pecan]

Did it on my last one

[plucky silo]

with a godly seed but

[plucky silo]

facts

[white zodiac]

@tulip pond did u see the message

[proper bronze]

who didn't

[tulip pond]

yeah

[ember plinth]

i genuinely think plasma took about as many runs as every other deck put together for me

[opal delta]

?

its still at least 25%

[tired kestrel]

Me when i throw runs

[tulip pond]

is this your way of player segregation

[white zodiac]

yeah lol

[plucky silo]

oh yah is mr bones a good joker?

[ember plinth]

in my defense

im stupid

also very very unlucky

[tired kestrel]

mood

[plucky silo]

or a good failsafe to have

[opal delta]

I dont really use mr bones

[tulip pond]

that’s so funny lmao

[proper bronze]

i had to unlock it when i was unlocking all of jokers cause i didn't die 5 times yet

[latent egret]

❌

you are as unlucky as you allow yourself to be

[tired kestrel]

I'm usually pretty unlucky but i feel like almost always besides black deck i could've played better

[latent egret]

unless you have a seed with integer overflow

[proper bronze]

oops! all 6s

[ember plinth]

i feel like plasma is the most luck dependent deck

[tulip pond]

why am i not there

[ember plinth]

bc you really need something really really good to win

[plucky silo]

eternal rental blueprint

[ember plinth]

im gonna start doing Buddhist chants every time I play

[white zodiac]

plasma removes early game consistency as your most common scoring sources are replaced with least common scoring sources for early game

[ember plinth]

what

[latent egret]

no, you just need to switch from chips to mult at the right time

[white zodiac]

idk

haven’t seen u in a while

[plucky silo]

or just spam 2pair

[white zodiac]

also took a break

[plucky silo]

cuz 2 pair is just that good

[latent egret]

you need a lotta planets to get enought chips for vv

[ember plinth]

i agree but having to fish for the right thing to completely change your build midgame is inherently luck dependent

[tulip pond]

been busy

[tired kestrel]

You get an extra free ante bruh

Surely you can find SOMETHING

[plucky silo]

true

[pale wolf]

at least 25% of is not the same thing as within 25% of

[ember plinth]

also wtf plasma has great earlygame

[white zodiac]

“free ante”

[ember plinth]

its near impossible to die early with plasma

[latent egret]

you get 4 rounds to get interest with no need for scoring

[white zodiac]

early game is more than the first two antes btw

[latent egret]

unlike almost any other deck

[pale wolf]

yea its the first two and a half

[white zodiac]

i’m referring more on early game stability

i

of course

[opal delta]

well they said 25% within and 25% off of and the first answer was closer

[white zodiac]

i should’ve said that how careless of me

[pale wolf]

options meant the same thing so there was no way to know what they would interpret it as

[tired kestrel]

I'm very aware bruh but it still does alot since you can save up worst case scenario and have your econ set

[opal delta]

25% off means 75%??

[tired kestrel]

By the time you're at ante 2 you have full interest and have seen 3 shops

[plucky silo]

yeah

[mossy finch]

pls watch my random legendary run. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiks0jGzvQRQpYb0p2QgwJ87cnsFCpL8w&si=pPcks7A0wWOLJsmc

[opal delta]

they arent the same thing

[ember plinth]

fair enough, I just feel like the luck requirement is higher than average and way more frustrating bc theres no short plasma run

[brazen night]

Can't get that much with a ten

[plucky silo]

they are

[brazen night]

Apparently

[plucky silo]

100% - 25% =75%

[white zodiac]

i have a few seeds that could debunk this line of thought if other ppl are willing to try it out for their own insight

[serene forge]

The best strat for plasma IMO is to just stack chips forever. Play something like straight or 2pair that has good chip scaling, prioritize blue seals. Additionally the first 2-3 antes are basically free in plasma so you can get your econ going kinda easily.

People say you should try to switch to xmult, but i think this is a bad strategy. Xmult jokers are almost all rare or uncommon, getting enough of them for the switch to be worth it isnt a given. There are less chips jokers, but most of them are common. You might have to clench your cheeks a bit at the end going pure chips but it is more consistent than successfully pulling off a midgame pivot IMO.

[pale wolf]

if you can be 25% off of 100, that means that you can get 75 or higher
if you have to be within 25% of 100, you have to be 75 or higher
if you have to get 25% of 100 then that's 25

[opal delta]

how is having to score a minimum of 25% vs scoring 75% the same thing

[white zodiac]

in case two antes worth of shops isn’t what you value consistency as

[tired kestrel]

you can say that for most decks at that point

[mossy finch]

literally the best run I've ever had- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiks0jGzvQRQpYb0p2QgwJ87cnsFCpL8w&si=pPcks7A0wWOLJsmc

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[white zodiac]

the seeds i’ve saved up are specifically unideal for plasma

[tired kestrel]

dog is this really your first message ffs

[white zodiac]

also having statistically less joker variance

[pale wolf]

I think Mr Bones would be more interesting if it also destroyed itself when you got over 125% of the requirement

[plucky silo]

25% within means minimum 25% error as i see it
-# non native speaker could be wrong 🙇🙇

[ember plinth]

yeah but like the earlygame thing makes no sense, plasma objectively has amazing earlygame

[plucky silo]

ie having 75% the chips

[serene forge]

depends

[ember plinth]

like 3 first antes

[fading dome]

there's a great #🎥・videos-and-streams channel btw

[opal delta]

this is why I dont like making arguments in balatro 😭

[mossy finch]

needed to share my run

[opal delta]

every time I try to make a point I always end up being wrong

[pale wolf]

this is the first time I've ever seen this channel

[ember plinth]

you can very easily get to max interest

[mossy finch]

i feel kinda lonely

[white zodiac]

so is checkered and some erratic, they don’t have to deal with the horrific downsides of a whiffed shop, unlike plasma

[proper bronze]

that's terrible cause you get >125% more often than <125%

[plucky silo]

NOOO it’s ok 🙏🙏🙏 it’s just a wording error no problem

[tired kestrel]

You put a fucking billboard for your channel in the chat dog

[pale wolf]

maybe it's the profile picture

[white zodiac]

close enough
welcome back bitcoin baron

[opal delta]

okay…

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ember plinth]

bloodstone might legit be the biggest noob trap in the game

[proper bronze]

all 6s

[tired kestrel]

wow the deck with a downside has a downside

[white zodiac]

[plucky silo]

no way

[pale wolf]

[white zodiac]

the early game high variance yeah

[serene forge]

imagine using such a brilliant joker for such garbage such as fraudstone

[mossy finch]

it's my first time here and wy here everyone hates everything 😭

[tired kestrel]

I really feel it is mitigated by having extra shops

[wintry ice]

plasma has a good first 4 rounds but after that it's about the same

[white zodiac]

[tired kestrel]

We don't like having adverts in a discord chat i think thats very reasonable

[serene forge]

fuck you

[wintry ice]

isn't the amount of shops the same

[pale wolf]

mostly memeing but a lot of things that are considered powerful by people that only watch the game on YouTube are in reality not good for consistent gold stake winning

[opal delta]

my first gold stake of the first file and first gold stake of the second file :p

[white zodiac]

wdym extra shops, you get the same amount every deck

[mossy finch]

@tired kestrel ok i will never ad my channel

[ember plinth]

also bc playing a lot burns you out on unreliable jokers

[proper bronze]

bloodstone: i love you

[wintry ice]

you can post your stuff in #🎥・videos-and-streams

[white zodiac]

[plucky silo]

i like stuff :D

[pale wolf]

what is the context here I don't even know and I tried following the thread

[serene forge]

LESBIAN

les

[tired kestrel]

No thats not what i mean just do it more naturally or in relevant channels, not with a massive image that takes up half my screen

[serene forge]

lebanese

[proper bronze]

where

[white zodiac]

i disagreed on plasma having good early game because of it having worse shop variance due to how plasma scores

[ember plinth]

also like

[lost vault]

woof

[tired kestrel]

I mean you can get away with not buying anything for much longer than other decks

[pale wolf]

true

[plucky silo]

bark

[lost vault]

meow)

!!

[plucky silo]

miauu

[viral raft]

you can save econ in ante 1 to gain econ buying nothin

[bleak hemlock]

guys i found a black wee 🫦

[proper bronze]

uh excuse me this is a bazingo chat

[white zodiac]

not seeing first buffoon pack and relying on base shops reduces overall shop opportunity choices in favor of slightly more interest and choices in a narrow range of rounds

[pale wolf]

I mean it certainly makes the first couple antes More survivable

[plucky silo]

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[pale wolf]

if the shops are worse because your options are more limited, I feel like that's more of an issue for the mid game

[ember plinth]

econ means more shops

[plucky silo]

let us meow

[lost vault]

and im a car

[ember plinth]

yeah

[wintry ice]

my neighbours' pets at 2 am when i'm trying to sleep

[lost vault]

meow meownmeow mewo

[mossy finch]

thnx

[serene forge]

plasma is shit because it makes a lot of good jokers shit

[stark karma]

now THIS is a run

[ember plinth]

anyways plasma sucks ass

[plucky silo]

stop slandering the great plasma deck

[white zodiac]

this must be something i’m too streak pilled to understand

[ember plinth]

so why split hairs on when it sucks ass

[stark karma]

holy peak

[lost vault]

plasma deck fans when i bash their skull in with a metal pipe

[proper bronze]

idek what to say anymore

[wintry ice]

i got myself to play this deck for the meme do i take this

[plucky silo]

don’t do that that’s not nice :C

[proper bronze]

i don't love or hate plasma

[lost vault]

sowwy meow meow

[serene forge]

yes

[white zodiac]

omg

[stark karma]

I got the flush joker like ante 6 and I had to full skip to not have it get eaten by madness ToT

[wintry ice]

i guess it's better than like

[serene forge]

I hate The Tribe

[wintry ice]

every other +mult option here

[tired kestrel]

Theres also planets that you can get to survive a few more expecially the 3oak one

[pale wolf]

The early game on black is hard because you die easily early
The Early game on plasma is better because you don't die easily
if the worse options make plasma harder, they make it harder in the mid game or later, not when you dont need jokers at all to clear blinds

[stark karma]

it's a godsend when you need it

[white zodiac]

it kills u kinda for what you usually do but go based on vibes

[proper bronze]

are you going to hate everything in bazingo

[serene forge]

plasma promotes bad habits yea

[pale wolf]

I will not make a tribe emote

[tired kestrel]

actually 3oak planet is a bad example but still

[wintry ice]

this sounds good

[white zodiac]

oh thank goodness

[pale wolf]

venus

[plucky silo]

yeah it’s pretty good

also take uranus

[wintry ice]

actually i can live without it can't i

[white zodiac]

[serene forge]

I hate Green Deck

[white zodiac]

marballot

[stark karma]

honestly nebula has not been giving me trouble but I guess thats because pre bluestake

[proper bronze]

my internet sucks images aren't downloading

[ember plinth]

its also bc nebula is goated

[pale wolf]

where are you getting internet sucks images from

[wintry ice]

i drew none of the stones

[tired kestrel]

Green deck is the heavy tf2 of balatro

[proper bronze]

from internet

[white zodiac]

cloudflare servers

[ember plinth]

anti fun?

[nocturne dawn]

can anyone help me get in the multiplayer discord, i want to try it but i get rejected because of suspicious profile

[pale wolf]

are you dead??

[tired kestrel]

When you're winning it's great, when you're losing you want to die

[ember plinth]

only played by people obsessed with aim simulators?

[pale wolf]

were you manually rejected?

[proper bronze]

what about the red deck

john deck

[white zodiac]

red is fine

[wintry ice]

i greeded and played a bunch of pairs for some reason

[ember plinth]

lowkey heavy is always boring

[nocturne dawn]

don’t think so

[clear mulch]

green joker

[nocturne dawn]

was never in there

[white zodiac]

pairs

[wintry ice]

thankfully i got a r2 cloud 9

[tired kestrel]

eh as long as you're not sent to spawn all the time he's fine

[ember plinth]

bc you need a medic to effectively pubstomp

[tired kestrel]

I call skill issue

[pale wolf]

#⚙・modding-general might have somethin but not entirely sure

[ember plinth]

also playing comp heavy is genuinely miserable

[tired kestrel]

Also why do you wanna just pubstop i wanna have an even match

[proper bronze]

i love having no discards

[ember plinth]

like its so fucking boring

[clear mulch]

no, you have them, you're just not using them

[tired kestrel]

do you play comp?

[nocturne dawn]

okay thanks

[ember plinth]

I mean like

I genuinely don't mean this in a mean way

[proper bronze]

i forget to not

[ember plinth]

but most pubs I play im gonna pubstomp

bc i kinda have more hours than almost everyone else put together

which is sad and embarassing

[ember plinth]

yeah

[wintry ice]

i still suck at tf2

[tired kestrel]

oh well then that makes sense

[wintry ice]

nice

[tired kestrel]

I have 2k hours and i'm still bad

[wintry ice]

do i strength this

[proper bronze]

this is bazingo chat guys

[tired kestrel]

I'm cursed at shooters dog

[ember plinth]

tf2 is like

[wintry ice]

ig i can leave that for later

[pale wolf]

yea and a A

[hybrid tendon]

hell yeah

[wintry ice]

i just took devil

[ember plinth]

i just dont see the appeal of pubs

its so mindless

[pale wolf]

valid choice 2

[ember plinth]

really good game tho

[tired kestrel]

I actually stopped playing because i had such a hard time getting into tf2 comp and honestly i'm glad that happened in the end

[ember plinth]

(i have devoted my teenage years to playing it now im sad and miserable)

[jagged valve]

Give me tips for these decks I suck in

[ember plinth]

oh the comp community sucks

[tired kestrel]

Well the appeal used to be the communty but yk, meet your match happened

[pine drum]

Checkered deck best deck

[tired kestrel]

The WHOLE community sucks dog

[pale wolf]

on the top two and last one, try 2 pair a little more often, The chip scaling makes up for their deficit

[ember plinth]

i mean idk about the pub guys i dont play

but comp players are ao annoying lol

[jagged valve]

Ok

Sucking at Checkered just means I suck in general

[tired kestrel]

Pubs are either boring because they either keep to themselves or want to be showered in attention, no inbetween

[jagged valve]

I kind of go all in instead of caring about econ or strategy I used to be better wtf is happening

[tired kestrel]

Community servers are still fun tho

[clear mulch]

the tf2 minecraft server 🥹

[ember plinth]

oh there's always the guys talking in chat and doing unfunny memes from 2019

[jagged valve]

I did like gold stake red deck in my first week of playing now I'm stuck in green stake of the easier ones

[tired kestrel]

Peak

[tired kestrel]

That sounds better than the deafening silence of casual

[wintry ice]

would this be worth taking

[ember plinth]

well that's better than the pedos in comp so

[wintry ice]

probably not

[ember plinth]

pubs win!

[white zodiac]

not as a rental

[clear mulch]

evil

❌❌❌❌❌

[proper bronze]

i can't see

[clear mulch]

rental four fingers

[proper bronze]

it doesn't fucking load

[wintry ice]

this sounds like a good idea

[tired kestrel]

idk, at this point i don't care for tf2 anymore, literally every other game is treating me better, expecially gd

[white zodiac]

high risk high reward

[ember plinth]

its always the same guys pubstomping in brazil so like

[wintry ice]

madness for xmult pivot with sly for chips

[ember plinth]

people know each other

its sad tho

[wintry ice]

brazil mention

[ember plinth]

dudes with 9k hours just tryharding nonstop

[proper bronze]

terrible

[ember plinth]

tryharding pubs is genuinely the saddest shit ever

[ember plinth]

oh im p much done w tf2

[proper bronze]

bazingo phonk starts playing

[tired kestrel]

Yea imagine middle europe payload servers where everyone is tryharding weather good or bad

[ember plinth]

like

if ur decent and tryharding and getting annoyed at pubs

get a job

[wintry ice]

plasma deck

looks inside

pair build

[ember plinth]

sounds like the average br pl

[tired kestrel]

Ok tbf, medic is a whole different issue

[pine drum]

For checkered, If you manage to get seltzer and either arrowhead or bloodstone your are at great advantage. Also always redeem paint brush so you dont have to waste a discard whenever you get 4spades and 4 hearts

[tired kestrel]

You quite literally rely on others

[wintry ice]

ok but genuinely it would be funny if that happens

[ember plinth]

I mean like

[tired kestrel]

fml europe servers are just terrible aren't they

[proper bronze]

weather?🌨️

[white zodiac]

can't wait to see the build variety ppl keep talking about on plasma!

[tired kestrel]

it's rainin'

[ember plinth]

tf

[wintry ice]

what build variety

this is blue stake

[pale wolf]

maso word is filtered

[tired kestrel]

Welp unfortunately thats my best and my most fun class

[white zodiac]

maso chi

[ember plinth]

but yeah u know what you signed up for if ur playing solo med

[tired kestrel]

But i have to lock in constantly or i don't get to play the game

[proper bronze]

it doesn't fucking load and i'm curious

[tired kestrel]

It just gets tiring

[white zodiac]

blue stake on the idf deck goes crazy

[ember plinth]

thats why every pub i play i mute the game play music and use black box concheror

0 brain

[tired kestrel]

I just don't find that fun, i wanna get cool kills minimum

[ember plinth]

i just like don't really have any other way to play pubs

[tired kestrel]

Soldier is my second pick and its either original/beggars, gunboats and market gardner and go for airshots or gardens all the time

[ember plinth]

like Im not gonna put in effort

[tired kestrel]

Occasionally play objective when i don't feel like doing that

[proper bronze]

it's a bazingo chat

[wintry ice]

i'm going to gamble

[ember plinth]

true

[wintry ice]

it does not land on madness

i'm save scumming

[ember plinth]

diamonds meme

[clear mulch]

wow i hadn't noticed Spectralesbian also changes the lovers tarot to make it represent two women

[proper bronze]

dang

[tired kestrel]

idk at that point why even play if you're gonna turn your brain off

I'd rather just watch smth

Or go talk with others

[clear mulch]

whoever made it is a peak human being 🥹

[tired kestrel]

Instead of playing waddle soldier

[proper bronze]

yeah

[ember plinth]

yeah I agree

that's why i never pub

only when friends want to

[tired kestrel]

yea fair

I wish i could still play tf2 in a fun way but oh well

I'm glad i found some other games

[ember plinth]

tf2 sucks that's the lesson we should take from this convo

[clear mulch]

i spent too much time over tf2

i regret every second

[proper bronze]

i think it was DNA with marble joker and whatever gets mult for more card in the deck

[ember plinth]

5k hours down the drain for me

[clear mulch]

clusterfuck of a deck, hologram gaming

[ember plinth]

[tired kestrel]

bebula deck is great until you don't get any jokers on the first ante

[ember plinth]

just straight maxx

[wintry ice]

nebula is boring

[clear mulch]

who needs joker when you can have level 3 straight

[proper bronze]

just go jokerless smh

[white zodiac]

speaking of boring

[wintry ice]

does this work as a +mult source

[ember plinth]

btw

jokerless is such an unfun challenge

[white zodiac]

I don't wanna take that

[ember plinth]

its literally just clicking r

[tired kestrel]

ngl i just don't get saturn like ever with nebula for some reason

[ember plinth]

i mean that would be bc

[pale wolf]

I mean I think you know the reason

[tired kestrel]

Even earth doesn't show up

[ember plinth]

ur not playing straights

[pale wolf]

[tired kestrel]

Well yea but still

[clear mulch]

[proper bronze]

i think you should play straights

[tired kestrel]

I meant from the shop or if i'm forced into a flush early

[proper bronze]

what

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't know, I haven't played nebula since I got gold stake on it

[ember plinth]

I don't like gay people, like my boyfriend

[pale wolf]

and I don't think I'll play until the next time I am doing some sort of profile challenge

[clear mulch]

movies without gay representation are boring

[bronze linden]

erratic deck done - slowly working my way to completionist plus

[crystal field]

nebula boringest deck

[bronze linden]

maybe i should do the challenges first

[clear mulch]

most boring

[ember plinth]

nebula is just nice and consistent

[proper bronze]

that's exactly why i don't watch movies

[clear mulch]

yes yes yes

[crystal field]

ok fine fucking come for me then

😔

[wintry ice]

most decks are more consistent than it

[ember plinth]

no need to fish for chip jokers

[clear mulch]

‼️

[crystal field]

that is fair

[bronze linden]

‼️

[proper bronze]

i forgot what nebula does

[clear mulch]

bang, she shot me, ‼️ she shot me

[crystal field]

start with telescope, -1 consumable slot

[white zodiac]

the consistency of finding celestial packs:

[ember plinth]

for me it feels more consistent than every deck but the colored decks (-black), checkered and abandoned

[proper bronze]

we started with plasma and now we're on nebula

[pale wolf]

yea nebula is why hologram sucks

[clear mulch]

could you explain? ;thi

[wintry ice]

so right in the middle

[clear mulch]

i dont think i understand

[ember plinth]

my heart is pure and celestial packs come to me

[proper bronze]

that's terrible

[wintry ice]

that works i guess

[clear mulch]

liar

[crystal field]

its like pretty bad yeah

[white zodiac]

there is no explanation

[ember plinth]

I mean i feel like blue, yellow and abandoned are in a class of their own

[prime valve]

The worst deck to exist

[ember plinth]

so they barely count

[crystal field]

but its not like black deck or whatever it’s not challenging just limiting and boring

[clear mulch]

squid war

[proper bronze]

let me check what i have played on nebula deck

[pale wolf]

hunger squid games

[wintry ice]

also you'd say that nebula and green are more consistent than ghost, zodiac and magic?

[spring dragon]

I get so excited when I see Chicot! That's 10 free dollars! Twelve with interest!

[ember plinth]

i deadass

[crystal field]

they are def not

[clear mulch]

the violet vessel

[ember plinth]

forgot green exists

[clear mulch]

😨

[pale wolf]

i thought you sayd "I'd" and was about to dessicate

[wintry ice]

shrivel up

[proper bronze]

I get so excited when I see triboulet! That's 10 free dollars! Twelve with interest!

[pale wolf]

yea

[ember plinth]

i def like nebula more than zodiac and magic

[pale wolf]

freeze dry

[crystal field]

why?

[white zodiac]

you had me in the first 120%

[jagged valve]

Rate ts

[pale wolf]

sad!

[tired kestrel]

no wey like pokmen

[prime valve]

[ember plinth]

and ghost just feels weird

[clear mulch]

balatro players when personal preference 😨

[crystal field]

magic and zodiac decks are so much more interesting

[pale wolf]

I genuinely don't understand how the pokémon move freeze dry could possibly work
You need to pull a vacuum to freeze dry something

[crystal field]

i just asked?

[jagged valve]

Nvm no one likes peak

[mossy finch]

nb

[pale wolf]

and what pokémon get to learn it? I don't think it's like the ones that bend space-time

[jagged valve]

what

[ember plinth]

i like not worrying about chips

[proper bronze]

green stake

[ember plinth]

thats rly it

[mossy finch]

not bad

[jagged valve]

Oh k

[clear mulch]

they said nb

[crystal field]

mmm

[pale wolf]

nebula stake

[clear mulch]

No worries for the explanation

[proper bronze]

green dake nebula stek

[ember plinth]

tho tbf

[crystal field]

-1 consumable slot as a stake is crazy

[clear mulch]

nebula steak??

[ember plinth]

i havent played nebula since gold stake

[clear mulch]

yumm

[proper bronze]

no, nebula stake

[ember plinth]

could be worse

could be launch gold stake

[tired kestrel]

Gardevoir can make and control black holes and they can be caught before the first gym and rattata can bite through steel and has gone on record commiting genocides it really isn't that out of the question

[bleak hemlock]

how dumb of an idea is this?

[crystal field]

huh

[ember plinth]

-1 hand size

[crystal field]

oh launch

yeah f that

[wintry ice]

you have blueprint

[ember plinth]

orange stake was also actual torture

[clear mulch]

blueprint is basically already an ankh

[spring dragon]

Once I was about to die to the plant and down to my last three dollars

I saw a judgement in the shop

I said "if this is anything BUT luchador I am dead"

And by god he was there in all his glory

[crystal field]

what were the old stakes again

[bleak hemlock]

i want two black wees

[crystal field]

gold was -1 hs

[pale wolf]

yea but

[clear mulch]

canio could've helped

[bronze linden]

anhk the blueprint itll work trust

[ember plinth]

orange was every booster pack costs 1 more per ante

[proper bronze]

triboulet would give you 10 dollars tho

[pale wolf]

i could see kyurem and perhaps articuno doing it

[crystal field]

oh thats foul yeah

[tired kestrel]

Ok like half of these are legies tbf

[crystal field]

honestly i like the joker effect stickers

[pale wolf]

but how the heck is swinub pulling the air out of the air

[neon helm]

im pretty new to the game so far but how strong would this be if i got that one joker that makes every card a face card

[clear mulch]

good

also splash

and then one billion mult

[tired kestrel]

Cryogonal maybe makes sense

[spring dragon]

I forgot that said that

[ember plinth]

cryogonal is an og

[small badge]

Can i get someone to help coach me through a gold stake run

[pale wolf]

it would be maybe 1.5-2x better, but it's already a very good synergy
please note that unless you're about to die to scoring not enough, you should probably put the gold mask to the right of vampire, You will lose one scale per card played, but then for the rest of the run you will have gold cards to get money

[tired kestrel]

He just sucks in really hard and it creates a vaccum

[proper bronze]

yeah good

[ember plinth]

bro

gastly has ice punch

gastly

[wintry ice]

uh

[tender quarry]

I come back to chat and we're powerscaling pokemon for some reason

[wintry ice]

i guess that's good?

[bleak hemlock]

its so hard

[tender quarry]

This is the most on topic game-discussion gets

[pale wolf]

I just don't understand how the move freeze dry can work

You need to pull a vacuum

[mossy finch]

balatro university is good enough

[neon helm]

im not currently struggling too much with money tho im consistently triggering delayed gratification

[clear mulch]

its cause of pokermon

[tired kestrel]

Why is wee so large

Like the card

[bleak hemlock]

ive been rubbing it

[pale wolf]

money is power, money is how you find options and improve your build
if you don't need the immediate scoring, overscoring the blinds doesn't give you anything while money will give you stuff

[ember plinth]

wasnt there something about how lanturn technically scales pokemon universe into solar system or something

[hybrid tendon]

matador was there

[tender quarry]

Because of chad 😳

[mossy finch]

cuz of so many 2

[proper bronze]

me when i have a deck

[clear mulch]

viagra

[pale wolf]

also you will want to use your discards, you will get more money from gold cards than you will get from delayed gratification

[neon helm]

fair enough ill do that then

[proper bronze]

what the hell

[bronze linden]

love a good wee run

this was my best

[ember plinth]

also pay attention to boss blinds 🙏

[bleak hemlock]

and this ones black too

[pale wolf]

hanging sildenafil

[proper bronze]

[queen dock]

Yes it's a rare

[pale wolf]

maybe you didn't unlock it

[neat haven]

how unlock

[clear mulch]

i love gay

[queen dock]

Hit the road Jack is a song likely originating from either the 40s or 50s I think

[pale wolf]

I think it's like discard five Jacks or something

[white zodiac]

yeah

[neat haven]

oh

i never discard face cards tho

[proper bronze]

same

[neat haven]

they're good

[queen dock]

Hit the road Jack a base rare I actually have no idea because I have never once used it

[pale wolf]

purple seals
rebate
faceless joker

[terse stirrup]

Getting a crash on pc vanilla after driver updates, turning off overlays, cache delete etc, tried changing graphics, whatever anyway every time i open a run it crashes to desktop within 5 seconds, no logs :(

[ember plinth]

60

[neat haven]

never had faceless joker

i forget abt purple seals

[pale wolf]

never modded previously?

[proper bronze]

did you play the game like 3 times

[clear mulch]

guys this game is always really small, does anyone how to like make the window bigger

[neat haven]

140 hours

never found it

[queen dock]

I thought so I would have heard that song much more if it was from the 40s

[neat haven]

oh that card

ive seen that

[proper bronze]

more like 140 minutes

[terse stirrup]

nope never modded, game worked fine last time i played

[clear mulch]

any help?

[pale wolf]

sounds like whatever those driver updates were didnt mesh

[proper bronze]

yeah like drag the edge of the window

[terse stirrup]

had to update drivers to play eu5 so maybe so

[proper bronze]

it's already perfect

[neat haven]

i might cop a 1050ti

[pale wolf]

perhaps a post in #1200105253559873707 could help, but it sounds like not an issue with balatro to me

perhaps you can downgrade the drivers and check

[clear mulch]

i always play like this

[blissful cedar]

What is rebate

[proper bronze]

wonderful

[clear mulch]

mail-in rebate

[pale wolf]

the best econ joker in the game

[proper bronze]

[blissful cedar]

Oh

Ok i call that mail in

Bc its mail

[queen dock]

I still love showing off my non seeded no legendaries no red seals nan inf only worked because I got a naturally negative brainstorm

[blissful cedar]

What abt the 3 blueprints?

[clear mulch]

which means its gay too

dammit

[queen dock]

Either showman or invisible

This was like a few months ago

[proper bronze]

[blissful cedar]

My showman never does anything

It just fucks up my booster packs

[clear mulch]

lets fucking go

[blissful cedar]

I can count the number of times ive seen mime on one hand

[proper bronze]

awesomeness

[blissful cedar]

Im the raised fist cult leader

[clear mulch]

[blissful cedar]

I need mime in my cult

[plucky silo]

[blissful cedar]

Yes sell dusk

[plucky silo]

[plucky silo]

oops! all 6s

[unreal iron]

are you replacing oops?

[unreal island]

do people have jokersonas

[faint birch]

yep

[unreal iron]

is htr consistent scoring?

[jagged cliff]

everyone does right

[unreal iron]

no

[clear mulch]

...you dont?

[proper bronze]

yeah

[faint birch]

pretty solid i'd say

[unreal iron]

i am extremely uncreative and i cant be bothered to make a sona off of anything

[faint birch]

2 discards is enough

[jagged cliff]

hmm, from what im seeing you're the only one who doesn't

[unreal iron]

if i did it'd most likely have a seal

[clear mulch]

wait you actually drew them so fucking peak

[proper bronze]

yo i'm on your banner

[jagged cliff]

thank you thank you

[jagged cliff]

hell yeah you are

[proper bronze]

i'm everywhere

[unreal iron]

why would i have a joker sona

[royal moon]

is this a glitch

[clear mulch]

no it's naneinf's sona

[unreal iron]

[pale wolf]

stm's sceptre

[clear mulch]

yes

[jagged cliff]

You're literally my fav joker, couldn't live without

[unreal iron]

can you discard?

[pale wolf]

did you use immolate?

[royal moon]

no

[lost vault]

ba la tro

[royal moon]

this is the beginning of the run

[lost vault]

by the aay is the longest joker description obelisk

[faint birch]

🫡

[pale wolf]

then you're probably playing a previously modded game

[royal moon]

it still just gives 3 cards

[proper bronze]

ba zin go

[pale wolf]

move your mod folder and reinstall the game

[serene forge]

There is NOTHING more infuriating than losing because of a bad draw. You have the perfect joker buildout. You ran a high percentage Pair build. You aren’t overly relying on Face cards. You have a hanging chad and a deck littered with Lucky cards, 2’s, and a wee man joker. You’ve protected against any boss that may spoil your run. By all accounts, you have a 99.8% chance of winning this thing. But that .2%? When you lose because you somehow can’t draw a pair to save your life, despite deck fixing as well as you could have….not sure I can think of something more anger inducing.

Rant over!

[lost vault]

zeba

[clear mulch]

just restart the game

[royal moon]

i just got done playing a normal run and then i started a new one and this is what happened lol

[pale wolf]

disabling mods on steammodded is fake and steammodded has issues that crop up fairly regularly

[royal moon]

i refresh the runs too and its still doing this

[royal moon]

i see

[clear mulch]

that's why high card's better

[proper bronze]

have you tried truning it off and on again?

[unreal iron]

skill issue

[white zodiac]

8/10 spaghetti

[unreal iron]

pair better

[pale wolf]

hihi

[unreal iron]

amazing copypasta potential

i can't read that much

[faint birch]

FUCK I LOST

[proper bronze]

john balatro

[clear mulch]

girl...

[jagged cliff]

how 💔

[pale wolf]

ok so ive been playing this game for a whole week now and checkers seems like the only level that's possible to beat? i don't know if this is like a troll game, i clicked the unlock button so i don't get tricked, but it still seems sketchy to me... when you try to find the card flushes on other levels you either only get one or it just doesn't win for some reason? and it seems like the "royal flush" combo is only on checkers. Why? that's the best combo, it even has fire on the number before you play it, but it only happens on checkers and when I do it on the other levels it just says straight. Anyways does anyone know if there's a checkers level but only red?

[unreal iron]

I KNEW IT

NO CONSISTENT SCORING

[proper bronze]

probably cause hit the road sucks

[unreal iron]

GET REKT RAHHHH

[faint birch]

finally a gold sticker on dna

[clear mulch]

girl... (flustered)

[faint birch]

bitch was so elusive

[royal moon]

also if i have mods does it disable achievements? i got a mod (multiplayer but had it inactive) and made my deck 80 cards but never got the steam achievements

[faint birch]

anyway got to dm some girls my sticker progress

[proper bronze]

what the hell

[unreal iron]

i hate dna

[faint birch]

[lost vault]

oh

[unreal iron]

okay white staker

[lost vault]

im stupid

[unreal iron]

get ready for those 440k walls on ante 7

gold stake

[pale wolf]

I didn't want to just put "the" nine times

[prime valve]

I know that I did everything wrong if I gave more time to it I would probably make it all.

[steep knoll]

bro what?
I'm just asking a question

[proper bronze]

white dake red steck ahh player

[lost vault]

fair

[unreal iron]

basically the wall is an x4 base of the small blind

[pale wolf]

it tells you what it does?

[unreal iron]

since youre on white stake it doesnt do much since the scoring req is so low

[pale wolf]

It's bigger than normal

[proper bronze]

it's ok

[unreal iron]

but as you go higher and higher it scales way faster

[faint birch]

me when i see a new player i havent been rude to yet

[unreal iron]

lmao

[ember turtle]

most bosses are 2x base blind amount, the wall is 4x and similarly the violet vessel is 6x

[pale wolf]

round requirements are a multiple of the small blind requirement for the ante, so small blind is 1X, big blind js 1.5X and most boss blinds are 2X, besides needle which is 1X, Wall which is 4X, and violet vessel which is 6X

[lost vault]

exactly what it says. its extra large.

[unreal iron]

it might seem like it "does nothing" but facing against violet vessel or the wall can be a run killer due to the high base requirement

[pale wolf]

wall is twice as big as the normal boss blind would be

[proper bronze]

i actually maybe need to sleep

[clear mulch]

headcanon

[ember turtle]

i fw this heavily

[unreal iron]
