i probably won't take this for the funny though

13 jacks

lmao

[manic talon]

too many jacks, thats more than what your deck can discard in 1 round smh

[wintry ice]

i think burnt has to go now

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[wintry ice]

i should have taken card sharp but thankfully i have 2 million squares of glass

thank you brainstorm

(i should have taken card sharp lmao)

i literally just almost fell asleep

i miss my wife

[wintry ice]

FUCK

WAIT

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

WAIT

[unreal iron]

chat is he complaining?

[idle haven]

i had luchador so i was lowk annoyed

[low sorrel]

Do you think balatro would be better if it was more like vampire survivors?

[unreal iron]

well time to never worry about a boss again

yay

and its like boss 100k too

[idle haven]

uhhhhhhhhh

[serene forge]

least predictable r/balatro post:

[proper turtle]

do I ditch the supernova for bbc here? its +29

[solid tartan]

Yes

If you’re using Photochad right, the +29 shouldn’t matter

[proper turtle]

certificate for showman?

[proper bronze]

unsub from r/balatro

[proper turtle]

yeah the score didn't get affected

[solid tartan]

Yes. Don’t want to dilute your deck with less face cards

[swift tundra]

Stone joker never did show up, got close to full stone before it ended

[proper bronze]

your deck is rock hard

[icy hollow]

This thread the only proof u need that c++ does not make u good 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 🙏

[proper bronze]

jimbo, never works for me

[vocal quartz]

i took splash as a quick replaceable in and out joker without realizing it was eternal 😔

[proper bronze]

splash is fun

[blissful cedar]

@grantisatlantis mmm bbc is insane

[solid tartan]

By definition, Seance. Cause it is just the worst joker in the game by a country mile

[lunar zealot]

I need more fuckin painkillers

[solid tartan]

We all do

[icy hollow]

I loveplaying the hardest hand to find for spectral cards that dont help with playig that hand...

[proper bronze]

addicted to painkillers

[icy hollow]

🔥

[solid tartan]

If I’m consistently hitting straight flushes, I don’t need the spectral cards anymore

[icy hollow]

And spectrals dont help straight flushes either

[tacit stream]

imagine using seance for econ on strush build

[icy hollow]

Other than the suite one

I forgot the name

[proper bronze]

hi local thonk

[solid tartan]

Sigil

How yall think of this

[proper bronze]

hi vagabond

[twin lantern]

hi bp

[trail pier]

balatro reference

[proper bronze]

what's balatro

[trail pier]

idk

[idle haven]

wgat on earth could that constellation be at

[floral mural]

a modest canio

(i ran with only bus canio till like ante 5)

only burglar and bus had gold stickers before so the sly and agate are because i had space

[uncut matrix]

im watching balatro yt rn and i cant stand how roffle or rarran play

[final bough]

i watched this and alt tabbed back to my game and instinctively used hanged man on 2 face cards because i thought i had canio

[floral mural]

now all thats left is 4 decks left. plasma anaglyph erratic and zodiac

[uncut matrix]

rarran in particular has such an unhealthy obsession with baron he intentionally kills runs with a false delusion that it would show up

[floral mural]

at least the boring deck is done

[floral mural]

theyre playing for content not for wins

[uncut matrix]

possibly

how is that content tho

surely the bigger score is better content

[floral mural]

becuase baron and yorick have better score potentials than bus square and blackboard

[uncut matrix]

he legit threw away photochad

[floral mural]

and endless potential

[uncut matrix]

and idol (his deck was a single card type)

[floral mural]

like roffle plays for endless slop videos ngl

well roffle lite at least

[uncut matrix]

i dont watch heavy

[floral mural]

i dont either id rather just play

[uncut matrix]

true

dr spectred is the only one for me

[acoustic kettle]

I love roffle as a sleep video

His voice is so nice

[proper bronze]

it's entertaining asf dude

[uncut matrix]

roffle just ticks me off in every way

i cant listen to him yap

and rarran just makes atrociously bad decisions

[acoustic kettle]

I love him yapping

[floral mural]

not really when its idol or baron every time. im also burned out daily roguelike videos

[uncut matrix]

exactly

[floral mural]

generally

[acoustic kettle]

Roffle spotify when

[uncut matrix]

but rarran in particular loves baron so much

bean is pretty entertaining

[proper bronze]

i mean those modded or challange videos not like just gold stake

[floral mural]

roffle also ticks me off because trying to exist in his chat and say a simple question gets you flamed by him

[uncut matrix]

YES

LITERASLLY

his demeanor is just awful

[acoustic kettle]

Bean's voice is good but imo he doesn't talk enough

[uncut matrix]

bean is alright, same with zaino and spec

[proper bronze]

i like the chicken guy he talks spanish

[acoustic kettle]

I'm purely ranking balatroers on how likely will their video make me sleep

Roffle is up there

[floral mural]

my favourite streamer on twitch is vicfis and its entirely because they dont just flame someone asking for advice. hell they always respond to even repeated questions

[proper bronze]

the dude that talks about some facts that dice guy or something

[proper bronze]

dude same

[uncut matrix]

oh yea him

hes cool

[idle haven]

the big three of spectral deck

[floral mural]

(and if you point out they made a mistake they explain how it isnt a mistake or admit to the mistake)

[proper bronze]

waiter waiter! there is a spectral pack in my shop

[eternal estuary]

stay the course with license or swap to holo hologram (RTB at +28)

[uncut matrix]

no need to flame chat for questions

dont be a know it all with abad attitude

[floral mural]

since it isnt active yet id say swap to holo but if you can reliably get rid of odd todd id replace that instead

[proper bronze]

i love rtb

the holographic hologram lmao

[eternal estuary]

nah odd todd is too important to cut atm, probably >1/2 scoring

[floral mural]

understandable

then get rid of the license

[idle haven]

hold r

[eternal estuary]

I mean this looks like a win so far to me

[idle haven]

i know im just kidding

[proper bronze]

holo holo is too good to not have

[hasty vault]

holohologramgram

[eternal estuary]

I think you're absolutely correct it's the right take but also I've been traumatized in the past for not finding card additions

doesn't really matter though because license is also far away

[floral mural]

and with license you can never find enhanced cards

hologram also gets started much earlier than license

[proper bronze]

just like some standart packs

[eternal estuary]

yeah license is all or nothing and holo scales

[vale mist]

aw man I want a polychrome

[proper bronze]

both hologram and license can be done with standart packs

[eternal estuary]

see: 58/58 decksize 🙁

[vale mist]

I think aura should overwrite editions for cards

[floral mural]

i mentioned rhe possibility of replacing odd todd entirely because both arent anti synergy

[vale mist]

ik that's inconsistent with the joker mechanic because it actually has a large impact but to prevent it on cards seems unnecessary

[floral mural]

if you could swap odd todd working towards hologram and license could be reasonably done

[vale mist]

card enhancements can be overwritten so why not for editions

[proper turtle]

if you aren't playing some hard to make hands, increasing the deck shouldn't be an issue

just stick to easier to play hands

[floral mural]

youre playing bus youre spamming pair anyways

which barely count for deck bloat

[proper turtle]

yeah, just spam open standard packs

[floral mural]

just keep taking odd numbers from packs for odd todd i guess

[eternal estuary]

spamming pair usually ending flush/2 pair to take advantage of odd todd

[proper turtle]

get deaths

[eternal estuary]

🙂 thanks guys

[lament bronze]

Is Kami still around

[floral mural]

torn between incantation and immolate here can you show the full screenshot

[floral mural]

yes i think

[eternal estuary]

incantation easy, I took the holo

hologram

[floral mural]

and incantation isnt against bus

[royal bobcat]

Hi chat I'm going to Balatro it and try to get my gold streak up to 4

[eternal estuary]

nope, incant is the numbered cards

familiar is faces

[royal bobcat]

Which would be my pb

Gold streaking kinda not easy

[eternal estuary]

is there a deck you actually like?

[royal bobcat]

Ghost

That's what I streak on

The game says 6 is my best streak but that has white stake in it it's so ew

[eternal estuary]

I'm sure there's a "better" deck by ranking but ghost is strong and you're looking at playing tons of matches

I'd just go ghost

ghost seems solid for streaking, poly start cuts down on variance

[royal bobcat]

I usually try to poly an econ joker if available

Or something I'll keep for a while like a groker

[idle haven]

6 7

[worn drum]

Yo whoever here recommended me to do painted deck next

You're amazing I love you

[royal bobcat]

I end up selling hex a few times

[eternal estuary]

I mostly remember ghost from C++ not streaking so take my advice with a grain of salt but I basically just poly'd anything I would keep for a while

[royal bobcat]

Yeah I said that

[eternal estuary]

1.5x is strong enough that even mediocre jokers are good

[floral mural]

what is this packed shop

i want everything here

[eternal estuary]

well, not the planet voucher surely

[floral mural]

nope

but this shop has so many good options

[eternal estuary]

cross your fingers for immolate

well actually it's a little messier because that locks you out of trio if you miss huh

[floral mural]

wtf

i think red card runner is the play here not trio

[eternal estuary]

immolate my beloved

[floral mural]

as thats mult and chips

and 3 of a kind wants deckfixing while red card wants me to skip packs

[eternal estuary]

I agree given that you hit immolate

[plucky bridge]

always remember you can pick a choose 2 pack and pick one, then skip and that still counts for the booster joker

[eternal estuary]

I wouldn't take rental runner on 0 economy

[proper bronze]

FREE RARE SKIP TAG

and also free negative tag

[plucky bridge]

👏

[royal bobcat]

planet tycoon while still looking for jokers 💔

[proper bronze]

pretty good

[royal bobcat]

banaa

[proper bronze]

the run is officially saved

[old echo]

yo im new to balatro and i have like 96% collection is that good

[proper bronze]

yo i'm new to balatro and i have completeonist+ is that good

[old echo]

what is that

[quartz ember]

sure if you think that

[old echo]

like i dont really get the balatro fandom

idk what more to do yknow

[high sparrow]

it's when you are a completionist but john balatro thinks you're one of the cool guys so you get a plus

[old echo]

haha ok

[spring scroll]

finally finished work and decided to look, if you were interested this is how it played out, it's just better to run idol and the baron was a bait (unless I find mime later 🤣 )

[tacit stream]

yo I just started playing balato and I have c++ is that good

[old echo]

no

jk

[proper bronze]

no

[uneven barn]

quick question that im sure the answer too is known.

how come everytime i start the game on my laptop it changes the resolution to 1600x900?

its mildly annoying having to switch it back to native 1080 every time

[idle haven]

hold r on your laptop

[proper bronze]

oh i know how to solve that

don't open balatro

[uneven barn]

lol

[fringe crest]

i saw a video of a 570,000 wee joker

[shrewd cedar]

why is everything debuffed ?

[copper eagle]

paradolia joker makes all cards face cards

[shrewd cedar]

ohh yeah

is there anything i can do about it without selling it

[eternal estuary]

do you have the points to win with the cards still debuffed?

[manic talon]

back to 10 streak, finally. cloud 9 kinda fucks, only thing that kept me from dying with 2 rentals

[shrewd cedar]

wdym ?

[eternal estuary]

When a card is debuffed it no longer contributes chips or triggers the enhancements but you can still score points with your base hand points and jokers

[shrewd cedar]

truee i think i can lemme try

[eternal estuary]

btw you want bootstraps earliest in the order of jokers right?

[floral mural]

golden joker that can scale is a cool joker

[shrewd cedar]

bootstrap gives you 2 mult for every 5$ you have so i don't think it really matters where you put it

[eternal estuary]

You have baseball joker 😉

[uncut matrix]

i love getting bull and bootstraps early so i barely have to do any shopping

[eternal estuary]

so it also 1.5xs

[shrewd cedar]

well it's already earliest in order soo

faceless joker doesn't do anything in terms of mult

[eternal estuary]

oh is faceless common, I always forget

[shrewd cedar]

yeah lol

holy econ

[eternal estuary]

woops, my b

[shrewd cedar]

lol dw

also @eternal estuary do you think i should replace anything in my jokers ?

[opaque island]

chat am i cooking

[quartz ember]

xmult instead of faceless joker

[obsidian patrol]

not really

[quartz ember]

you are cooking and the run will be cooked😉

[opaque island]

well then how do i cook?

[obsidian patrol]

6 dollars on ante 5 yeah buddy

you aint cooked anything

[opaque island]

tell me the cooking ways

[opaque island]

(im new dont blame me )

[jagged cliff]

Here's a recipe I like, maybe try this one, it's not really cooking, it's more baking

[shrewd cedar]

i wanna 100% the game is there anything i should learn ?

[opaque island]

..........................

[jagged cliff]

just play the game

[eternal estuary]

I'm not really an endless player, it depends on what you want to do.

[plush python]

Balatro

[opaque island]

i got the dice thing boi

[eternal estuary]

Try out the harder difficulties, try out the decks you unlock, try out challenges, try out naninf if you want (probably look online for this)

[idle haven]

i played a hand that scored so much my game crashed

[opaque island]

how

[idle haven]

idol and sock build with a shitload of retriggers and blueprints and brainstorms

and polychrome kings

and two tribs

[lunar zealot]

that's not supposed to happen unless your game is modded

[eternal estuary]

oh, also if you really wanna 100% you should know the achievements are very difficult. C++ is very time consuming.

[idle haven]

yeah its modded im js surprised since i didnt even use the mod lmao

i have two mods

a mod menu and the handy mod

oh and more speeds

so 3

[quartz ember]

watch balatro university videos and you'll get there in no time

[hearty lichen]

hello

i need help

black deck gold stake sucks

[signal frigate]

Patience.

It's not really a skill thing

If you can consistently clear gold stake then that's enough

You just need to do it more than a couple hundred times

And be patient, you're gonna be there for quite some time

[latent egret]

just get lucky smh

[hearty lichen]

im currently doing 100% its okay rn

[latent egret]

or press r until you find a soul

[signal frigate]

I'm doing my 4th C++

[hearty lichen]

black deck gold stake is my issue

[signal frigate]

It's okay since you only have to play Gold Stake once

So you know that pain will be over

[eternal estuary]

feel like I would hate playing all the lower difficulties at that point

I did it 2x and will not be repeating

[signal frigate]

I don't take low stakes seriously, I lock in at Orange Stake

[hearty lichen]

true i been going through gold stakes pretty decently so far

[signal frigate]

The worst part about C++ is when you're at the last joker

It's gonna be painful trying to roll for them

[eternal estuary]

least they changed finding legendaries

that actually sucked

[signal frigate]

P sure that's always been a thing

[eternal estuary]

nah, not in 1.0

[signal frigate]

Not really sure?

[opaque island]

yippee

[signal frigate]

It's not terrible

[latent egret]

they could make it 2 for eache planet up to X dollars a round

[latent egret]

its the worst joker by far at its job

giving x amount of money at the end of round

[signal frigate]

You could argue matador is worse

It already does that

[latent egret]

its not really the same niche, matador will always have value in buying and selling around bosses for a dense $ return

[signal frigate]

I didn't see the "more" part in that

[eternal estuary]

It's conditional but I wouldn't call satellite atrocious

[latent egret]

makes you need to invest in jokers whose equivalents you dont need to invest in

ie gold/cloud9/ttm

[signal frigate]

It's immediately replaceable that's for sure

[opaque island]

satellite is pretty good tbh

[signal frigate]

But it's not actually terrible?

It's just not good

[eternal estuary]

Can you expand on that? I'd say it's exactly like Cloud 9 just like... worse

[signal frigate]

You forget it exists since the rest of the econ jokers are just

Better

[signal frigate]

No?

There is no limit to how many 9's you can get

[latent egret]

unless you're on erratic, c9 is just 4 dollars a round free of investment

[opaque island]

you need to invest in cloud9 ._.

[latent egret]

and it takes 1 taor to get it to 6

[signal frigate]

With enough patience, you can make it better than Rocket

[latent egret]

you dont tho lol

[eternal estuary]

Fine but how often are you going +10 9s on non endless runs

[latent egret]

also doing c9 improves deck building too

[opaque island]

4 dollars is way too little for an entire joker slot tho

[latent egret]

lol

[signal frigate]

Surprisingly alot

[signal frigate]

Me when Golden Joker:

It pays off in 2 rounds

[latent egret]

there is a resaon golden joker is top tier

[opaque island]

i pick it up early-run and sell it mid-run

gold joker is mid too

[signal frigate]

Cloud 9 deceives players because they think synergy is more important, 9's don't have alot of synergy

But again, there is no limit

[eternal estuary]

Well your runs are very different from mine then lol. At a minimum what you're describing is the definition of win more. An econ joker having a cap of 10 doesn't change much

[signal frigate]

To how many 9's you can have

[latent egret]

and it makes you reach 25 dollars in 3-4 rounds earlier than if you didn't have it

[signal frigate]

That is quite alot of money

[latent egret]

which is fucking huge for gold stake

[signal frigate]

No, I'm serious, you can easily invest in tarot generators, even about 10 dollars worth is good enough

[latent egret]

it can even pay for a rental that you'd die without

[opaque island]

meanwhile me buying every booster pack i can:

[signal frigate]

Where are you getting the money?

[latent egret]

are you playing on gold stake ?

[opaque island]

"invest in tarot generators" dawg that doesnt sound like balatro 😭

[opaque island]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe not

[high sparrow]

just get immolate hermit every booster pack, matter of skill

[signal frigate]

Purple seals??

Hallucination?

Cartomancer??

[eternal estuary]

Look, maybe we're making different points. I don't think Satellite is worse than C9 in sub endless runs because of the soft cap. It is worse, but that's mainly because it starts at 0.

[latent egret]

okay then come back when you do, 90% of conversation here is about gold stake

[opaque island]

i know it IS balatro but it sounds like an investor ad showed up and told me "Invest in x!"

[opaque island]

welp

[latent egret]

since its the stake you play for 95% of your play time if you 100%

[opaque island]

back to the stake grind

[signal frigate]

Satellite needs unique planets to get stronger while the rest of the Econ jokers don't really need to be too specific to be good

[latent egret]

maybe even 98% lol

[signal frigate]

So, you're just gonna ignore the point

Again, you don't need to turn your entire deck into 9's

The fact that there is no cap means you can just have enough

And it'll pay off

[opaque island]

not a bad point actually

[signal frigate]

Also, because blue seals are OP, you can just spam those and win anyways

[nova junco]

@opaque island dw i like white stake too

[hearty lichen]

i beat black deck gold stake with ballot, trib, photo, ancient, mandy, and constellation

after so many rerolls

[signal frigate]

Don't need synergy when you can just level up 5flush 9's to high hell

[opaque island]

im playing on red stake tho

[latent egret]

honeslty eve nif it was not unique planets it would still be so much worse early game

and that's how bad it is

[signal frigate]

Which is just white stake, except no small blind money

[nova junco]

Same thing basically you just start with like 3 less dollars

[eternal estuary]

Cmon now, this would be an insanely strong econ joker

[signal frigate]

It's slow, you're not guaranteed to find the right planets in the same shop is the problem

[opaque island]

shit i confused it with green stake

[signal frigate]

But that

Actually makes it way stronger than you realise

It's the same reason why Constellation is so fucking strong

[nova junco]

I feel like the biggest difficulty jump is blue stake

[latent egret]

imagine if its not unique planets up to 6 dollars, when are you getting 6 planets before ante3 in most gs runs

[signal frigate]

You're just paying to get more money if you make it so it's not unique planets and remove the cap

[eternal estuary]

I'd be taking them in the scenario where I have satellite lol

[latent egret]

i meant only early game it's still be worse, ofc its busted long run

[signal frigate]

It's current state is not terrible, just bad and worse than every other econ joker

[latent egret]

which still makes it more expensive than any other give X at the end of round joker

[signal frigate]

It's horribly forgettable though

[nova junco]

But it'd pay off way more

Like all the resources you don't need to score go into planets

[signal frigate]

I've used it plenty of times and didn't find it to be unusable

[latent egret]

its just not on par with any other econ joker, doen't help reach interest cap which is really why econ is crazy early

[signal frigate]

It's just bad lmfao

But yeah, I don't give Cloud 9 enough credit, it's actually good

Only took 2 C++ profiles to find that out

[eternal estuary]

I use satellite far less than other econ jokers at gold stake for sure, I just quibble that it's terrible. Sometimes it shows up and you played a high priestess and bang you're starting at $4

[latent egret]

its like flash card in a way

[signal frigate]

Same with Blackboard and Seeing Double

I like Blackboard alot

[latent egret]

you get +mult with rerolling, which you need to pay for, but the reroll in itself does bring a lot of value

[manic zealot]

GUYS IT'S HAPPENING

[proper bronze]

i'm back

[latent egret]

while c9 you deckfix and make bigger hands easier

[nova junco]

Naneinf?

[manic zealot]

yes!!!

my 1st one

[opaque island]

dear god

[latent egret]

smh bloostone carryjob once again

[manic zealot]

lmao fr

satellite the real mvp

[nova junco]

I still haven't gotten the chance to naneinf mainly because I still don't play plasma

[manic zealot]

I usually don't

[latent egret]

ill go for it after c++

[signal frigate]

You don't need plasma to Naneinf

[latent egret]

its the thing that moves me the least ngl

[manic zealot]

It's just easier

[proper bronze]

scholar would be better

[nova junco]

I mean you TECHNICALLY don't but for example with baron mime you need double the kings in hand

[quartz ember]

technically you dont, but mostly practically you do

[nova junco]

And also naneinfs are generally done in white stake which I haven't done in a while since I'm grinding c+

[manic zealot]

wouldn't it be funny if I reset rn

"nah it's not good enough"

[opaque island]

"couldnt find enough deaths"

[subtle rain]

I'm generally a smooth brain when it comes to games. Could someone tell me what in the world- How do I have a locked card in my hand?

[manic zealot]

I couldn't make everything the same suit smh

[signal frigate]

That's possible on non plasma for one simple trick

Retcon farming.

And a fuckload of money

[subtle rain]

hwat

how do you know that?

[proper bronze]

brainstorm!!!

[subtle rain]

oh

[proper bronze]

probably just a visual glitch

[eternal estuary]

(the answer to your question is mods)

[signal frigate]

There's an easier way, do you have checkered deck?

[subtle rain]

I'm on a profile where everything is unlocked. I only have the multiplayer mod on.

[opaque island]

on the skin of my teeth im cooked

[proper bronze]

throwback

[manic zealot]

and it begins

[eternal estuary]

Does the multiplayer mod have decks that look like that?

[proper bronze]

skipping rounds

ante 39 rounds 39

[subtle rain]

I'm not entirely sure what all it adds. One of my friends told me to install the mod. I know it adds the cocktail deck and at least a few jokers

[signal frigate]

That throwback is looking at me funny...

Kill it

[opaque island]

[proper bronze]

these cards lookin at me funny

[eternal estuary]

I'd hazard a guess it's part of the mod then. It isn't from vanilla balatro.

[subtle rain]

ah

[signal frigate]

I don't like you (I'm joking)

[opaque island]

holy shi-

[signal frigate]

Good job, you actually passed ante 24

[manic zealot]

ikr!

god that was exhilarating

[signal frigate]

That's usually where naneinf runs end

Now try 32

[manic zealot]

bet

I'll try and see how far i can go

[proper bronze]

ante 24 is disappointing at least pass ante 39

[signal frigate]

It's possible since he reached Naneinf

It's just gonna take him an EXTREMELY long time

[manic zealot]

I'll have to sit here for another 3 hours lmao

[proper bronze]

you can't beat ante 39 with naneinf

[subtle rain]

I played it by itself. I think it was just a visual bug which, tbh, still doesnt make sense to me.

[opaque island]

why not

[signal frigate]

If you're willing to spend almost 5 hours doing naneinf over and over again, you can reach 39

[signal frigate]

Yeah because there's nothing to calculate

[manic zealot]

eh, I'll think about it I presume

[signal frigate]

But I consider 39 to be the "end" of Endless

[proper bronze]

you need to reach nan

[nova junco]

You can't "reach" nan

That's why you can't beat it

Because nan is yk

Not a number

[proper bronze]

can help you pass ante 39

[nova junco]

Can it?

Oh like with the glitch yeah

[proper bronze]

if you have 2 and die of no cards left it sends you to ante 500+

[nova junco]

I wonder how it even works

The spaghetti code behind that must be a work of art

[signal frigate]

It tricks the game into thinking you complete a round even though you died so it repeatedly kills you, revives you and then kills you again

Over and over and over

Dr Bones refuses to let you die

[proper bronze]

i hope that never gets fixed

[manic zealot]

I'm just happy to cross naneinf off the bucket list

[nova junco]

My max in unseeded is like

e28 lol

[signal frigate]

Your high score will reset to 0 btw lmfao

I think mine is E232, thanks to me attempting Ante 39

[red thistle]

Dr bones.

[proper bronze]

i got a gay red card

[manic zealot]

that's ok

[opaque island]

jimbo getting tourtured in the corner:

[signal frigate]

It's a hilarious glitch and extremely specific

So I think it's fine just leaving it

[opaque island]

yeah

[signal frigate]

It's not intrusive

[opaque island]

• it funny

[signal frigate]

Imma actually beat Orange Stake on Checkered because I'm tired of flushing

[opaque island]

aint that the best deck to do a flush build?

[signal frigate]

Half way through all the decks then I can go start C++ for the 4th time

[signal frigate]

The 2 suit deck is good for flushing, breaking news

[opaque island]

thats what im saying

[signal frigate]

It's a mindnumbingly easy deck to clear

It's actually braindead lmfao

[proper bronze]

bro what the hell😭 i got blueprint again

[signal frigate]

You did this to yourself.

[proper bronze]

i'm looking for mr bones and that what john balatro gives to me

[barren wigeon]

its 4am

[signal frigate]

Why do you need the bone man?

[barren wigeon]

should I do blue stake plasma

[stiff ore]

do i take the negative and still give myself the X4 multi from stencil, or grab the ballot?

[signal frigate]

This is a hilarious pack

[proper turtle]

ok, how the fuck do you beat plasma on purple, this shit is hard

[barren wigeon]

negative

[signal frigate]

Negatives count as an empty slot yes

[stiff ore]

yes

[opaque island]

why did you say you're tired of flushing as if playing checkered deck doesnt make you flush cards

[signal frigate]

Chips then transition to xmult

[signal frigate]

Because I wanna get it over with.

I have to complete Gold Stake on every deck

[opaque island]

oh thats what you meant

[signal frigate]

For Completionist sake

Black Deck is gonna be painful but I've done this ride like 3 times already

[proper bronze]

dang copying misprint is different for the copy

[proper turtle]

looks like only chips won't cut it, I max out at somewhat 150-200k points or 350k for a few hands idk how

[signal frigate]

Yeah, that's why you use the headstart you get with chips to start finding xmult alternatives

[barren wigeon]

wee

[proper turtle]

wee has definitely won me 3-4 plasma wins

[barren wigeon]

RUNNER!!!!!

[opaque island]

whats..so .. bad about......... black deck?

[barren wigeon]

RUNNER!!!!!

I LOVE RUNNER

[barren wigeon]

-1 hand

[opaque island]

thats not that bad tho

[proper turtle]

runner wee both are great, castle is some work but also gets pretty decent big

[signal frigate]

Blue stake.

[proper turtle]

stuntman is just good enough for the early rounds, till ante 4-5 i feel

[signal frigate]

Black Deck is one of the worst Decks to gold stake

Absolutely painful

[barren wigeon]

its quite bad

[opaque island]

what does BS do? (not that BS)

[proper turtle]

-1 discard

[signal frigate]

-1 discard from Blue stake and then -1 hand, you only have 1 discard and 3 hands.

One singular discard.

[proper flame]

EVIL diet cola be like:
Im going to be made out of high fructose corn syrup

[barren wigeon]

1 discard?

wouldn't you have 2?

[opaque island]

how is it only 1 discard?

aint it supposed to be 2?

[proper turtle]

yeah, it should be 2

3 hands 2 discards

[opaque island]

no thats just normal cola

[proper flame]

yeah. the joker is diet cola so making it negative means its regular cola (As in, made out of high fructose corn syrup)

[signal frigate]

Oh you right, I'm forgetting things now

It's still really really fucking bad

Blue Stake in general is just terrible

Everyone keeps repeating it so I don't think it needs to be said again

[opaque island]

well you aint wrong

[signal frigate]

Also as for why it's terrible, every deck has some sort of upside that completely negates the downside (if it has one) or it just doesn't have an upside or a downside at all

Black Deck high stakes is just

Downsides.

You get no benefit from playing Black Deck

You're playing at a disadvantage all the time

[opaque island]

1+ joker slot tho

[signal frigate]

The extra joker slot won't fucking help because you only ever need 3 for scoring

[barren wigeon]

not that useful

[signal frigate]

It's very insignificant because the downside is so painful, it feels like the +1 slot doesn't exist at all

[opaque island]

fair point but thats not NO downside

[opaque island]

fair point

[signal frigate]

I actually found Cruelty and Jokerless easier

Because at least, you're playing those challenges on White Stake

Having to play Black Deck on Gold Stake feels terrible

[proper bronze]

i got throwback

[signal frigate]

It's basically teasing you

[signal frigate]

Kill it with fire

[proper bronze]

john balatro be giving me anything but the thing i need

[signal frigate]

Throwback sucks, me no likey

[proper bronze]

yeah i skipped 0 round for evey shop

should i take jimbo

[grim shoal]

does selling hiker remove the extra chips from all cards or do they stay?

[signal frigate]

Nop

They stay

You gotta look at the wording of each joker

[grim shoal]

WWW

[signal frigate]

Because they mean what they say

If it's permanent, it won't go away

I at least have to try

[proper bronze]

i just said to myself "give me face cards i have smiley face" and john balatro gave me 4 jacks in a single draw

[barren wigeon]

i just played THE shortcut straight

[proper bronze]

what the hell is this run

it's the needle again btw

and i lost again

fuck you john balatro

[barren wigeon]

I JUST FUCKING LOST BECAUSE I GOT BULLSHIT 3 TIMES

FUCK THE WALL

[proper bronze]

[barren wigeon]

[winter whale]

I like the balatro theme kinda
not done yet ??? maybe I need to fix some stuff but that's a later me problem smiles big and wide

[tacit stream]

I got edged by Stone Joker twice before getting the gold sticker for it. (it's not the last joker I stickered with though)

[sleek viper]

i was very close to winning my first black stake run, boss blind ante 7, The Club, deck and scoring built around clubs, due to early eternal onyx agate and photochad (nat neg hanging chad)

[barren wigeon]

epic

[proper bronze]

awesome

i have a 20$ egg

john balatro keeps putting hermits in my packs just so i don't deckbuild

i got 8 ball run is saved

[winter whale]

it took a lot of trial and error (mostly error) to get it right blehh thank uu!!

[barren wigeon]

i lost with photochad on the serpent due to drawing approximately 3 face cards

[sleek viper]

average egg in 2025

[proper bronze]

replaced egg for a golden joker

i got bazillion dollars

[blissful fog]

I finally beat anaglyph deck lesgooo

[proper bronze]

wild cards with multiple suit jokers is awesome

i got throwback again

[blissful fog]

Until a suit boss blind ruins it

[proper bronze]

i got holo egg

why can i sometimes buy a negative jokers when i have no slots and sometimes i can't

[proper bronze]

and with chad

i got 53k from high card

only if 🌊 tho

i saw so many jokers multiple times man

[nova junco]

[pale wolf]

reposting victory from last night

7.5x campfire at end, footage got corrupted

[slate lance]

I cant wait to finish c++ and finally be able to do fun stuff like this

[slate lance]

What the hell takes up 22.4 gb 😭

[pale wolf]

lots of screen recording

[slate lance]

How many damn hours do u record

All i do is occasionally take a pic of my run

[pale wolf]

not hours lol

[clear mulch]

meow

[slate lance]

MINUTES

MINUTES MAKE UP 22.4 GIGABYTES

[pale wolf]

i mean

idk i just deleted them all

i cant tell you anymore

[jagged torrent]

Meow :3

[slate lance]

😭

[clear mulch]

mraow

[slate lance]

Why did u name urself after the 3rd worst deck

[calm furnace]

i dont think i ever lost a gold run with campfire

[clear mulch]

top 3

actually

[jagged torrent]

:((

[pale wolf]

prob an average of like 30 seconds per clip though soo 95 minutes of footage maybe

[jagged torrent]

Rude

[slate lance]

😭 no way

1 worst is painted ofc

Then plasma

Then nebula

[jagged torrent]

That's a lot of balala

[calm furnace]

worst take in history of this server

[jagged torrent]

G-get outt

[pale wolf]

it was too much balala, it stopped me from recording more balala

[clear mulch]

no you

plasma sucks

i hate it

[slate lance]

I dont tslk to ppl with under 5 joker slots sorry

[calm furnace]

as if you need more than 2 jokers to win

[red thistle]

Discorder.

[jagged torrent]

Neg tags, ectos, invis

💔

[slate lance]

0/5 is better than 0/4

🥱

[proper bronze]

meow

[calm furnace]

only bad thing about painted is that campfire is weaker on it

[slate lance]

I gtg anyway chat

[jagged torrent]

Omg i just noticed you're pfps, aww that's so cute

[calm furnace]

but you can't have the best joker in the game work on the best deck on the game would be too op

[jagged torrent]

Bye John painted deck hater

[proper bronze]

yeah

[red thistle]

How @slate lance and @calm furnace are meeting up.

[proper bronze]

that's my wife

[jagged torrent]

Lol

[clear mulch]

true

[fading cobalt]

I hate aces

[vale mist]

why wait

[fading cobalt]

Fuck these cards

They always get bottom decked with scholar

[jagged torrent]

What did I do? 😔

[calm furnace]

im jotaru right?

[fading cobalt]

NOT DRAW

[hybrid tendon]

Doomed yaoi

[fading cobalt]

JUST BE IN MY HAND ITS NOT THAT HARD TO BE DRAWN

[jagged torrent]

Your deck was too big

Huge even

[fading cobalt]

No the fuck it wasnt

[jagged torrent]

You need a smaller deck

Trust

[fading cobalt]

My deck is average leave me alone

[proper bronze]

my deck is rock hard

[potent adder]

I like acrobat

[hybrid tendon]

😭??

[fading cobalt]

Stone deck?

[hybrid tendon]

Stop using marble joker

[red thistle]

Well i love aces, let's get married and see what our child thinks.

[proper bronze]

no

[vale mist]

love how average compensates for "less"

[jagged torrent]

Based and marble jonkler pilled

[fading cobalt]

They were complaining about how big my deck is

But 52 is the average size like

[calm furnace]

can we finally collectively agree that campfire is the best joker in the game?

[jagged torrent]

I'm sorry but a big deck is hard to play with

You can't draw the cards you want

:(

[fading cobalt]

Big decks are fun tho

Its chaotic

[calm furnace]

hologram addict

[vale mist]

but chaos is exactly what you lost to

[vale mist]

gotta hone those deck trimming skills

[jagged torrent]

DNA addict

Hang your men

Like hanging chad

[vale shale]

ok so I lost with plasma

idk who said plasma

[proper bronze]

i can tell bro loves big decks

[vale mist]

I like big decks and I cannot lie

[calm furnace]

shit is ass not your fault

[proper flame]

hologram is fun bc you can even deck fix while scaling hologram. It doesnt take away xmult if you kill cards

[vale mist]

just a few more chips

[red thistle]

"shit is ass". 🔥 ✍️

[proper flame]

so you can have a x6 hologram and still a small-medium sized deck

[pale wolf]

im on the cusp of 100th gold win

[calm furnace]

thats why trading card is the goat

[jagged torrent]

Hell yeah

[jagged torrent]

Congrats! :v

[calm furnace]

i wish game kept track of wins

[jagged torrent]

Now your final challenge play endless >:)

[pale wolf]

i mean, idk if its an achievement as much as a milestone

[pale wolf]

it does.

[calm furnace]

eww

[calm furnace]

i guess on pc

[proper flame]

finish that last challenge

[pale wolf]

no

jokerless isnt fun

[proper flame]

bet its the omelette. Hardest in the game

[red thistle]

Yummiest.

[calm furnace]

ohh

[pale wolf]

omelette is evil

stat screen invasion

[calm furnace]

cool

[proper flame]

isnt the jokerless strat basically glass cards + planets?

[calm furnace]

i guess that amount to 300 something gold wins not bad

[red thistle]

Not just glass cards but yea it's pretty close.

[pale wolf]

anything you can get your hands on

[vale mist]

100% progression is fun

[proper flame]

balance of glass + steel? or what else

[pale wolf]

theres no jokers so all the rest of the game appears more often

[calm furnace]

do challenge wins count for this?

[proper flame]

or do you mean seals and editions

[pale wolf]

yes i believe

[faint birch]

big talk for some small hand size

[calm furnace]

so to get estimate of my gold wins i have to subtract -20 challenges and the 100 or so wins before gold

[red thistle]

Everything basically, having say 2 mult cards and 2 glass is better than just 2 glass.

[pale wolf]

no

[red thistle]

The point is that you basically need everything you can get your hands on.

[faint birch]

never forget your flat mult and chips

[calm furnace]

there are 9 stakes and 15 decks?

[faint birch]

unless your mult is yoked

then fuck it why bother

[pale wolf]

2 stake wins and 1 challenge win and the challenge didnt count

[red thistle]

Did you learn this word from that one wacky bodybuilding game.

[faint birch]

huh?

[manic talon]

Technically couldnt you win one red stake game and that counts as 2 deck stake wins

[red thistle]

Nevermind i guess.

[pale wolf]

yea but its 2 white stakes

[manic talon]

Its an unlock all profile

[faint birch]

gamers when they hear a word

[manic talon]

Ok but what if youre a liar liar pants on fire

[red thistle]

No it's just that this is the first time i see it used in a relevant context.

[vale mist]

what does cs6ru stand for

[red thistle]

And i've been on discord for 4 years now.

[calm furnace]

ok so 105 wins to unlock gold on everything

[pale wolf]

yoked is a fairly common term in gym culture generally

[calm furnace]

damn i expected to have more gold wins

[red thistle]

That's news.

[pale wolf]

yea idk this guy

[calm furnace]

lemme check pc

[faint birch]

i work out so makes sense

[red thistle]

It's steven universe.

[manic talon]

Ok you got me

[pale wolf]

yoked comes from lookin like an ox with the yoke on their shoulders

big shoiders and muscles

[manic talon]

Ox? Balatro reference?

[faint birch]

i am not yoked i just do squats and running

[faint birch]

[pale wolf]

i pointed at a deck of cards yesterday

[calm furnace]

ok so 88 gold wins on pc and something like 300 on mobile

average of 1 gold stake a day. im washed

[fading cobalt]

I hate the needle

[calm furnace]

just get acrobat and win

[fading cobalt]

Didn't find a single uranus and paid the price for it

[fading cobalt]

Ironically I skipped ante 1 acrobat for econ

[calm furnace]

acro wins the game

[pale wolf]

baltro!!!

[calm furnace]

acro + something like 4oak

[pale wolf]

😀

[calm furnace]

dont be afirad to use all your discards

[proper bronze]

what's balatro

[fading cobalt]

I had constellation but celestial packs wouldn't show up 😒

[calm furnace]

for strongerh ands

[red thistle]

The humble and generous balatro shop:

[fading cobalt]

I did

[calm furnace]

in a month and 2 days it will mark my 1st year since i started playing balatro

[fading cobalt]

I'm gonna bomb that fucking shop

[pale wolf]

this was my 69th win https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1433228820512772227/InShot_20251029_185734249.mp4?ex=6929809a&is=69282f1a&hm=e477b89b20c8a02930da5eaec3c0058adf1070ed573d9968c59c685d21b38e8c&

[fading cobalt]

I'm gonna accidentally send a nuke to that shop and say it was a misinput

[fading cobalt]

Almost died but acrobat saved

[manic talon]

Idk

[calm furnace]

thunk is evil for making the needle

at least make the credit card eternal negative

[pale wolf]

I mean I could have won earlier in the round but I wanted to use acrobat

[fading cobalt]

?

[calm furnace]

credit card takes a joker spot

[fading cobalt]

Yeah?

[calm furnace]

that makes it extra ass
