[calm furnace]

if it was negative

would make it easier

[fading cobalt]

Are you saying credit card should always be negative??

[pale wolf]

https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers in 3

[fading cobalt]

Thats extremely based of you

[calm furnace]

in the needle

yeah

when i won the needle i had to accept my fate that i will always be broke and sold the credit card

[pale wolf]

is my spoiler image blurred for any of yall desktop users

if this is how blurred it gets then i think im wasting my time with the scribbling

[fading cobalt]

This some bullshit

Balatrodle spoilers

[fading cobalt]

You are wasting your time lol

[fading cobalt]

Why in such a specific scenario

Thats weird

[calm furnace]

wym

[fading cobalt]

Like only negative in the needle

Or you want it to be always negative for the needle

[calm furnace]

cant make a joker always be negative

just saying the needle would be a lot smoother

as a challenge

[junior horizon]

Has anyone EVER used flowerpot

[manic talon]

you mean the golden needle challenge

[junior horizon]

Like at all

[calm furnace]

if the credit card didnt occupy a joker slot

[fading cobalt]

I'm so confused

[proper bronze]

i did

[junior horizon]

Fake

[fading cobalt]

When you gotta take it you gotta take it man

[calm furnace]

does one wild card trigger fpot?

[manic talon]

its okay

[red thistle]

You had never interacted with the category of players that have 500+ hours in this game.

[junior horizon]

I know him, he's me!

[calm furnace]

i have god knows how many hours and never used the flower pot

[junior horizon]

Flowerpot is just fucking atrocious though

[fading cobalt]

Obi Wan reference

[fading cobalt]

No xmult is worse than potential xmult

[junior horizon]

Fuckin jimbo would be better than flowerpot though

[red thistle]

It's fun, not good.

[junior horizon]

It's so ass to play

[fading cobalt]

Jimbo wouldn't help me win tho 😭

That chance of 3x mult could save the run till I find something better

[manic talon]

its basically a worse version of acrobat

[junior horizon]

True that

[fading cobalt]

Are you sure you're a 500 hour player

[manic talon]

youre mostly going to play a Flower pot hand once per round, unless you have like splash

[fading cobalt]

You can make a two pair for acrobat tho

Or use wild cards

[red thistle]

It's just that experienced players use it religiously.

[fading cobalt]

Or splash like you just said

[red thistle]

It should be buffed to 4x though.

[fading cobalt]

Honestly not bad

Considering its similar to loyalty

[manic talon]

buffing it to 4X wont make it that much better, just for flavor mostly

[red thistle]

Yea and i mean for flavor.

Using something bad in a good way is very satisfying and gives me the illusion of being competent.

[fading cobalt]

Taking something bad to survive is competent tho

I cant form sentences today

[proper flame]

Telephone: Can select up to 6 cards at once

unlocks the mythical 3 pair

[fading cobalt]

Yo phone linging

[shell dagger]

no

no 6 card poker

[proper flame]

yeah because thats too far compared to everything else

[fading cobalt]

Adding an extra card to the community hand is insane ikr

But being able to have a score exponentially is fine

[proper bronze]

8 cards at one when

[floral mural]

no because this would require a lot of hands only usable with this joker

not joker

voucher

[proper bronze]

i love playing my whole hand

[fading cobalt]

Yeah just play your entire fucking hand atp

[floral mural]

still not feasible to have like 6 different hand types require more than just deck fixing to accomplish

[red thistle]

Gatekeeping a game mechanic behind one voucher isn't really a good idea.

[floral mural]

the current secret hands work because 1. theyre still 5 cards and 2. theyre achievable with deckfixing alone

a voucher being needed to play a specific hand is dumb

imo

[fading cobalt]

I got a better idea, you cant unlock that voucher until you buy every other voucher in the run

[lyric shore]

and if theres no new hands, selecting 6 to discard just seems worse than another discard

[fading cobalt]

It is worse than another discard

[floral mural]

so something achievable only on runs which get to ante 24 and are also lucky enough to get every voucher

[fading cobalt]

Yep very balanced

Seems fair right?

[floral mural]

thats probably bait but like deep endless is not exactly encouraged

[fading cobalt]

I mean even if it did work like a normal voucher it would still be better than antimatter no?

[floral mural]

by the game

[floral mural]

antimatter is an extra joker slot and doesnt require so much work to properly add

[vale mist]

doubt

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[fading cobalt]

It was infact bait

That seemed obvious

If my idea was genuine I give the right for the nearest person to slap me

[floral mural]

listen it gets weird if you go into suggestions and people make jokers with exponential mult fully serious and their reason they want it added? i wanna naneinf

[fading cobalt]

"I want this joker cuz I'm too skill issued to naneinf the normal way"

[proper bronze]

i miss my wife

[vale mist]

ooOo big number oOo

[manic talon]

should make baron Xmult additive

[fading cobalt]

Btw that would just fuck up ante 8 like

Are they dumb?

[shell dagger]

not necessarily

[proper bronze]

lmao

[fading cobalt]

Joker gains 1.5x mult per king played, resets end of ante

[fading cobalt]

If it was a rare joker that had enough mult to clear each ante then I guess it would be fine

Maybe a legendary rather

[manic talon]

i mean baron doesnt destroy ante 8, if the exponential condition is niche enough it wouldnt change non-endless

[floral mural]

the people suggesting that see endless vids and only play white stake. i have no ill will towards white stake players but they do sometimes have that idea endless is peak gameplay (10 viable jokers total)

[shell dagger]

or, if the base was low enough like baron and trib

[vale mist]

way op

[fading cobalt]

But jokers with exponential mult would be insane?

[fading cobalt]

.75x mult

[vale mist]

a king pair is x3 mult for the whole ante

[proper bronze]

balatro ost is kinda fire

[vale mist]

ok now x1.5

[fading cobalt]

What about played kings give 1.5x

Rather than kings in hand

[shell dagger]

worse trib

[fading cobalt]

But it would remove its endless viability

[vale mist]

yeah I got the premise

[proper bronze]

listeting to boss blind theme rn

[quartz ember]

🤫 dont tell LocalThunk

[manic talon]

theyre making 15 new Ancient jokers everyday

[fading cobalt]

It can be uncommon or rare cuz it can be seen as worse than or better than idol

[vale mist]

ig I’m worried about non-endless if what you’re describing isn’t legendary

[warped crown]

i got a pretty good plasma deck start </3

[shell dagger]

do people even know how exponential functions grow

[fading cobalt]

Nopers

[quartz ember]

no

[fading cobalt]

I just see big number

[shell dagger]

so why we throw around buzzwords

[quartz ember]

because internet

[vale mist]

way better than idol? idol requires deckfixing, this joker requires none

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[vale mist]

maybe x.25 per played king?

[fading cobalt]

Well it still needs deckfixing

[shell dagger]

if you graph 1.5^x against 13x on desmos you’ll see that shoot the moon grows much faster than baron initially

[fading cobalt]

Joker gains .25x?

[shell dagger]

despite baron being this super bad unbalanced exponential joker

[manic talon]

are we talking baron kind of exponential (discreet Xmult many times) or just a joker that straight up says ^x mult

[shell dagger]

yeah idk it isn’t clear for me

[vale mist]

it adds up to an xmult total I believe

[floral mural]

the latter. because its in suggestions a whole lot from endless only players who wanna naneinf and theyre sincere

i wish i was kidding thats what i mentioned initially

[manic talon]

i mean if you make the x in ^x scales slow enough for it to not be viable in non-endless it could still be okay (i wouldnt say good game design tho)

[vale mist]

like consider constellation, that grows x.1 per planet

[floral mural]

didnt thunk say he wouldnt add exponential mult?

[shell dagger]

+^0.0001 per 8 antes

[pale wolf]

I think this is the only acceptable Joker for that mechanic to be on

[vale mist]

is one played king equal to 2.5 planets

[manic talon]

i think he did

dunno for sure tho

[floral mural]

also another suggestions classic is boss blinds that kill any build unless its 1 of 3 specific joker setups

[manic talon]

my 850 hours ass has never seen a cavendish extinct i will not be getting C++, let alone C

[manic talon]

i think there should be more boss blinds that completely kills pairs

[vale mist]

yeah but that takes away the dopamine hit altogether

[pale wolf]

heh

it would be a special 151st joker

[vale mist]

so what if we have exponential mult if it doesn’t work as one may expect, as in an order of magnitude greater than xmult

[shell dagger]

id argue that the slow-starting scaling from baron and trib is what induces the dopamine, if they almost immediately went to naneinf then it would be boring

[pale wolf]

wait what if i made it a 1 in 2 chance to destroy itself

🦓

[pale wolf]

the amount of people watching cryptid content

[manic talon]

if you think about it, Plasma deck is an exponential mult joker

[vale mist]

mult squared mhm

[calm furnace]

I LOVE VENUS

[vale mist]

unless… chips..

[calm furnace]

maybe i should keep forcing venus builds until venus overtakes the stinky mercury

[vale mist]

exponential chips 🤩

[pale wolf]

they said no xchips, they never said no ^chips

[faint birch]

getting an xmult run on plasma is one of my fave power trips

[calm furnace]

only need 1500 more venuses

[faint birch]

jupiter where it belongs

on top

the biggest and bestest

[vale mist]

makes two of us

[vale mist]

also intuitively it’d be hard to follow

[lyric shore]

thats so many jupiter

[manic talon]

can you really call yourself the Flush Queen

[faint birch]

yeah

[latent egret]

you just have to need the cavendish to survive and itll go

[faint birch]

like all royalty i got the crown through anything but merit

[vale mist]

x mult is ultimately just multiplying a number, add exponents and then you have to whip out the calc to see if it’s worth

[faint birch]

i also managed to C++ the game in 200 hours

[calm furnace]

oh

[latent egret]

round3 cavendish extinction is very real

[faint birch]

i once had both my cavendish extinct on me

[calm furnace]

not enough

[faint birch]

i was dying

admittedly there was an oops all 6s involved but fuck

[latent egret]

cheater

[faint birch]

BUT BOTH OF THEM DYING?

[latent egret]

to be the real environmental menace you dont need oops

[vale mist]

same round??

[faint birch]

COME ON THATS GOT TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING

[manic talon]

62K Flushes

[faint birch]

well no 11 antes apart

[calm furnace]

throwback to the rental gross michel that lasted 6 antes yesterday

[faint birch]

in my defence the oops was negative

what was i supposed to do, NOT take it? with bloodstone?

[latent egret]

just for the principle

[red thistle]

Hey i also did that!

[calm furnace]

always take oops

[faint birch]

i take oops cos i love lucky cards and gambling

[calm furnace]

lucky card oops no bloodstone once won me a gold stake

[faint birch]

i love lucky cat too

[calm furnace]

hell yeah

my fav card

[faint birch]

because i have an unhealthy addiction to lucky cards

[latent egret]

its in my top 5 ngl

[calm furnace]

the only scaling mult i take no matter how close i am to ante 8

because it scales so fast

[manic talon]

lucky cards is just good in general

[calm furnace]

i refuse to believe lucky cards have less chance of triggering than 8 ball

[manic talon]

theres usually more opportunities for lucky cards than 8 ball

[calm furnace]

yeah until i tried lucky 8s with chad

and had more +20 mult than tarots

[forest cedar]

anyone wanna play multiplayer?

[royal bobcat]

Is it really unhealthy

[faint birch]

it is if you're doing it right

[royal bobcat]

"man I'm addicted to working out studying and eating healthy food, socializing and having a healthy lifestyle I can't stop"

[faint birch]

anything in drastic amounts is an overdose. plug lucky cards into my veins

like those frozen hot wings at aldi precoated in spicy sauce for £4 per kilo that is way too good

[calm furnace]

lets go burnt joker trying to force venus built les see how fast i die

nvm im gonna die banana died

[misty rampart]

Hmm.
Decisions.

[calm furnace]

[tawdry burrow]

[tawdry burrow]

hex is hex but ankh allows for double the gambling

[vale mist]

I say ankh

[calm furnace]

neither

[proper bronze]

🪙 🥩 🕒

[vale mist]

misprint is too low value to deserve hex

unless sticker hunting

Y'all, NEVER play flush house with fire joker in mind
It's a BAD, BAD idea

[royal bobcat]

ermmmermmmmmmmm ermm ermmm

[proper bronze]

nah i have green joker

why would i ever think of that

[tender prawn]

what happened to the blue stake being reworked?

[tawdry burrow]

I'm trying to post an eternal egg but I can't

[royal bobcat]

i wish lilo kami and vayn were here to see this...

this is peak madness gameplay

[tawdry burrow]

something something she hangs on my chad till I photograph or something
I don't understand this new generation

[royal bobcat]

@cloud sinew @lunar zealot @manic talon look at this peak madness gaming

[tawdry burrow]

what the fuck is going on dude

[calm furnace]

talk about le funny

[vale wharf]

Why is the duo so expensive? It only gives x2

[proper bronze]

gay insanity

[tawdry burrow]

seems like you've found a fork in the road

[calm furnace]

DOUBLE BANANAS DIED SAME ROUND

[tawdry burrow]

what about the tribe

[exotic orchid]

Pairs are easy to make. Plus xmult and rare.

[royal bobcat]

okay is it time for el pivot

pondering pondering

thats a crazy seed icl

[exotic orchid]

Madness will scale.

[royal bobcat]

third ankh btw

[royal bobcat]

hence the pondering

as ghost i can find other ankhs

in which case i'd be sad not to start going in now

[calm furnace]

up to ante 3 with lucky cards being my mult

[royal bobcat]

and i know it's better not to be speculative, right

but this is a fun af run

[vale wharf]

Still, there are x3s that are cheaper

[proper bronze]

i have no money😭

[calm furnace]

i died

[royal bobcat]

do i take eternal rebate?

it's rental

but its rebate so idc

hmmmm pondering pondering

i want money for planet rolling

[proper bronze]

i hope green joker scaling saves me

oh it's the needle

[royal bobcat]

will i take -1x mult for money

i think yes probably

hi vayn!

[manic talon]

stencil would be like X7 right?

[royal bobcat]

x6

[manic talon]

theres 2 negative stencils

[royal bobcat]

but madness will be bigger by A8

no cuz ankh doesnt copy neg

unless i missed an ecto somwhere

[manic talon]

oh right lmao

[royal bobcat]

but -2 handsize is yucky

[slate lance]

My greatest rival

[manic talon]

been a while since i actually copy negatives

[slate lance]

Cus im doing c++ first

[royal bobcat]

now the question is: do i take rebate for money and rolling for planets

[proper bronze]

i got stencil and constellation from a mega pack

[slate lance]

White stake is boriny if ive got gold stakes to be doing

[royal bobcat]

cuz my limit rn is flat mult

so ermm

preolly beneficial in the middle run

but detrimental in the very long run because diminishing planet returns

[manic talon]

if your limiting factor is +mult, 2 stencil sounds better because you can just take any random +mult, it dont have to be eternal

[slate lance]

How is invis gonna add a joker slot
But ectos and neg tags are hard to get anywya

[real moth]

When I want disposable jokers, rip

[manic talon]

+12 mult

[royal bobcat]

its too late the opportunity is over

[proper bronze]

man negative skip tag... but i have nothing

[royal bobcat]

rebate has NEVER failed me i trust in the rebate

i will take the rebate

[manic talon]

yea rebate way too good to skip

[slate lance]

Just kill brainstorm put it in between them and then put blueprint far left

You'll have one blueprint and keep ur knives

[proper bronze]

me and my wife

[real moth]

Yea.... That's what I did, sadly I never see such good luck when I am going for normal runs, only when I have knives

[proper bronze]

oh i got a nat negative

[tawdry burrow]

holy fuck

[slate lance]

Yeah its just the balatro ragebait

The game has a built in ragebait feature

[tawdry burrow]

man I won golf stake once and never touched it again

[proper bronze]

i have so much xmult

[fading cobalt]

Bro fuck you wheel of fortune just give me foil

[slate lance]

Wtf theres a golf stake?

How are u supposed to get negative chips

[tawdry burrow]

you don't you just shoot up or die

[slate lance]

😭

[tawdry burrow]

fuck it might as well keep the joke going

[faint birch]

mmmm lets go

[tawdry burrow]

better than a shoddy correction to gold

[tawdry burrow]

how do you have like 200 bucks on your pocket
is mail in rebate that much of a drug

[slate lance]

The kind of econ you find a vagabond card on

[faint birch]

im on plasma deck so

might as well

[royal bobcat]

uhhh i do have a lot of face cards and i even started to make more so uhhh

[slate lance]

Crimson heart should honestly get a rework imo

I hate it

[hardy jackal]

[slate lance]

I am gud :[

[faint birch]

[slate lance]

Blue deck is kinda boring ngl

[hardy jackal]

most of the decks are boring

Nebula Painted Red Blue and zodiac are all boring imo

[proper bronze]

but i have vampire

[faint birch]

[tawdry burrow]

LMAO I GOT SOUL OUT OF A MEGA SKIP PACK

[slate lance]

Isnt that kinda bad, u lose more money overall than if u had just bought it non rental

[faint birch]

what

[slate lance]

Normally its 8 bucks and sells for 3 bucks so let's call it 5 bucks ignoring any damages to interest

[slate lance]

On rental itll cost 1 buck but take away 6, and then sell for 1 buck

[tawdry burrow]

and judgement got me ride the bus

[faint birch]

money tree

[slate lance]

Thats -4 bucks

[tawdry burrow]

soul gave me Canio

and then I got an invisible joker next shop

[slate lance]

While normally its only -3 cause u sell it

So rental is overall lrss worth and will do more damage to interest than normal invis would

[proper bronze]

the hook killed me

[slate lance]

No wait hold on

Ok its -5 on normal nevermind then

[jagged valve]

This run will be THE run

Finally a forced VampMidasPareid works

[slate lance]

But the rental will do more damage to interest nonetheless

[jagged valve]

Plus nat negative smiley

[proper bronze]

dna first shop

john balatro is kind today

[fading cobalt]

BRO FUCK THE WALL

[slate lance]

Ngl there should be a deck which lets u select one additional card per play (and it will always trigger)

[fading cobalt]

FUCK THE WALL AND ITS MOMMA

[jagged valve]

Six card hands?

Polydactyl

[tawdry burrow]

CANIO²

[slate lance]

No 5 card hands with an additional triggering card

There wouldnt be any new hand types

[jagged valve]

I could see it as a discard but not as a playing card

Like as a Joker

[fading cobalt]

ITS MOMMA IS VIOLET VESSEL FUCK HER

[jagged valve]

Polydactyl: Allows you to play a sixth card as a discard per hand played

[slate lance]

U gotta chill 😭

[jagged valve]

Rightmost played card

[slate lance]

Crimson sucks more

[fading cobalt]

NO

[slate lance]

Is that aj actual joker

[fading cobalt]

NO IT DOESNT

[slate lance]

What like a mod?

[jagged valve]

No

I just made it up

[slate lance]

Oh ok

[fading cobalt]

YOU CAN SURVIVE CRIMSON EASIER THAN VIOLET VESSEL

[slate lance]

Wth does polydactyl mean then

[jagged valve]

It's a condition where you are born with more fingers

Im your hand

[proper bronze]

isaac ahh

[jagged valve]

Id love that joker ngl

It could be rare or smt since it can be so op

Or uncommon

[fading cobalt]

I dont care fuck violet vessel

[proper bronze]

i got polychrom skip tag on the fucking blueprint

[faint birch]

again money tree

like idc

[slate lance]

Ok fair enough then on ur run

[faint birch]

it's a free blueprint

[slate lance]

I meant on average runs

Where ur hanging on around 25-30

[fading cobalt]

Only 19.1 dollars?

Bro you're cooked

[faint birch]

not a bro

[fading cobalt]

Sis you're cooked

[faint birch]

that's a really salient point about average runs you're bringing up about my not average run

[slate lance]

I forgot u were in econ heaven ok 😭

[proper bronze]

bruh i'm 1 dollar short

nat negative rental perishable gift card

[jagged torrent]

Nat neg invis let's you overcap on jerker slots

[slate lance]

Thats kinda ass

[proper bronze]

yeah

[slate lance]

I mean ig for temperance its good

Or swash

[faint birch]

i mean the funny thing is it's a chips based plasma run it's not making it past ante 11 on gold unless i brainstorm

[proper bronze]

rental invisible

[jagged torrent]

If he's invincible then how can you loose with him?

[jagged valve]

ISTG LOOKATHIS

Wait how do I make this work again

[slate lance]

How did u get runner so high in so little time

[royal bobcat]

this seed is impossible to lose man

[proper bronze]

i have a debt for 19$ 😭

[faint birch]

you can literally always do this with 1 runner up to ante 7

[slate lance]

Wait did u have runner from the beginning

[faint birch]

ante 2

[proper bronze]

ofc i got fucking clearance sale when i have -13$

[slate lance]

I thought u had only bull

Maybe it was off screen in ur screenshot

[faint birch]

it was

[slate lance]

Fair enough then

[faint birch]

straight with low value cards at the start to double up and skirt the ante then just go ham

don't take any other jokers with chip value

just go econ and deck control

it's a free win

[proper bronze]

i got blueprint from invisible

[slate lance]

But u did

Bull

[faint birch]

at like ante 7 yeah

[slate lance]

What 😭

[royal bobcat]

easiest run ever, and thats 4 win streak

[slate lance]

That was ante 7

[faint birch]

insurance

i wanted to go further antes and if i didnt wanna think, high card at that point clears anyway

since you hoard chips

[slate lance]

No i was just surprised that ur screenshot with bull was ante 7

I thought it was earlier

I did my plasma goldstake with 2 castles

Goy them to like +350 around the end i think and i had a couple other jokers helping with mult

[faint birch]

i spend like a mf

anyway died at ante 12

lets get some econ

[proper bronze]

i got foil square joker

[slate lance]

All u need now is oops

[slate lance]

Ohh fair enough

But ur face cards dont trigger odd todd

[faint birch]

well yeah

they're held in hand...

[slate lance]

Oh right

U just play odd todd hands to farm money and then finish off with a 5 card hand?

[faint birch]

i also got a red seal queen so

[slate lance]

How tf do u sur ive then

...

[royal bobcat]

blank even being here is crazy work

[slate lance]

Its literally not possible if u got 4 hands to pass with odd todd only unupgraded high cards

[faint birch]

like there's a risk reward factor, just farm your money but be ready to pivot out to playing odd todd

[slate lance]

Not even the ante 1 big blind

[faint birch]

???

[slate lance]

Odd todd will give u on average 40 x 1 per high card

[faint birch]

this is plasma.

[slate lance]

OH

[faint birch]

THIS IS PLASMA

[slate lance]

YOU COUPDVE MENTIONED THAT

[proper bronze]

8 ball run saved

[faint birch]

plasma deck is one of the easiest so it's good for chill sessions

[slate lance]

Gow is that an almost solos

How low is ur canio gyat damn

[slate lance]

Easiest on gold stake?!

Ur ragebait8ng right

[proper bronze]

omg 8 ball worked for the first 8

[slate lance]

Meanwhile when i get lucky cat for example I get 0 lucky card triggers

🥲

[fading cobalt]

Fuck this game

Fuck it

[faint birch]

y-yeah???

[slate lance]

Thats the deck i had the mostt trouble with

[faint birch]

it takes a bit of brain rewiring but it's

definitely pretty fucking good

[slate lance]

😭

[calm furnace]

sell lucky cat for trio, lucky cat at 1.25. proceed to have like 8 triggers next ante

[fading cobalt]

People here hate gold stake plasma

[slate lance]

I dont wanna rewure my brain

[fading cobalt]

You're gonna get murked

[slate lance]

I like normal balatro

[dull ether]

Planted No directors, couldn't find Luchador on 30+ rerolls

[calm furnace]

i hate plasma on all stakes

[fading cobalt]

Based

[slate lance]

Wouldnt have happened if u didnt like painted deck

[faint birch]

the early game of plasma is not only fucking free it's perfect for farming gold, have more options for several jokers, and can basically be carried by 1 or 2 common jokers

[calm furnace]

im not on painted tho

erratic

[slate lance]

I said like

Not werent playing

[calm furnace]

but checkered and painted almost have as strong of an early game

erratic sometimes

[royal bobcat]

you're so wrong

[slate lance]

There should be an enhancement deck which gives like idk ⅛ of ur deck random enhancements

[faint birch]

yeah and they're also good

[royal bobcat]

plasma is like top 3 hardest deck for gold stake

[calm furnace]

glass deck

[royal bobcat]

the other 2 being black and nebula

[slate lance]

Isnt that a challenge

[royal bobcat]

fucking nebula

[proper bronze]

hieroglyph ante 1 let's go

[royal bobcat]

all my homies hate nebula

[faint birch]

im not going to lie skill issue

[calm furnace]

for me it was just plasma and black. all other decks are doable

[calm furnace]

yeah but you have double oops in that challenge

[royal bobcat]

that's not worth anything

i did gold stake plasma in three tries

[slate lance]

Nebula eas hard but i also didnt know the full value of planets since it was one of my first

[royal bobcat]

that does not matter in the slightest

[calm furnace]

nebula can be weird at first but its really consistent for gold stake

[faint birch]

[calm furnace]

pair brain rot on nebula is so easy

[proper bronze]

what if i play every single card in my deck on the small and big blind and the boss is pillar

[royal bobcat]

no nebula is the most miserable fucking deck in the game, after black deck

[slate lance]

Idk i might try it after c+ is dome

Done

[royal bobcat]

you lose so much value from so many things

[calm furnace]

you literally get an S- tier voucher for free

[faint birch]

ok it sounds like you have a lot of fun with most decks

[spark kernel]

What if there was a game where it combines poker and solitare and theres jokers and tarots and planets and spectrals that would be so cool wish it was real/j

[faint birch]

anyway im gonna go win plasma again

[slate lance]

I only got blue red and abandoned left

[royal bobcat]

i just hate nebula and black deck

[calm furnace]

i dont get nebula hate

and im a tarot addict

[faint birch]

valid i still find it easy

[royal bobcat]

its just so lame bro

[calm furnace]

that i agree with

lame but not hard

[royal bobcat]

telescope is lame

[faint birch]

i like power trips

[calm furnace]

not really its one of the best vouchers in the game

[faint birch]

so i like telescope

[calm furnace]

the -1 consumable is whats lame

telescope is a run winner

[faint birch]

no i think they mean that telescope is just "spam the same thing"

[royal bobcat]

it's hard because it wants you to never pivot due to having innate telescope, but thats not how gold stake works

[calm furnace]

but thats how balatro works outside of obelisk pivots lmao

[royal bobcat]

if pairs weren't as good as they are nebula wouldn't even get touched with a ten foot pole

i'm telling you

[calm furnace]

yeah but you dont always want to pivot

[faint birch]

ye thats why i like it

[calm furnace]

to win you wanna focus on one hand

i dont enjoy playing nebula

[faint birch]

until you have had to play full house for survival in the early game

[royal bobcat]

no, but if you have to then ALL your celestial packs get worse

i don't pick telescope that often at all

[faint birch]

this is why you ALWAYS play flush

ez

[royal bobcat]

i don't think it's in my top 10 vouchers

actually

[calm furnace]

crazy

[royal bobcat]

it is

its 6th

probably from earlier in my profile

[faint birch]

flush plasma mmmmm

flush checkered mmmm

[faint birch]

flush erratic mmmmmmmm

[royal bobcat]

so you're telling plasma is easy then you're telling me you spam flush im like yeah okay bro

sure

[faint birch]

im not a bro

[calm furnace]

broette

[faint birch]

and yeah, i got c++ i can say what i want

[royal bobcat]

brette

[faint birch]

no

[royal bobcat]

no?

[faint birch]

no

[faint birch]

yeah i can, i have opinions

[calm furnace]

any live love telescope

[royal bobcat]

having c++ doesnt mean youre right im afraid

[faint birch]

none of us are right its called opinions

[calm furnace]

only people who managed to win gold stake with all their deck gold deserve to have opinions

[royal bobcat]

saying "plasma is easy" is very much not an opinion

[obsidian patrol]

It is

That is an opinion

[royal bobcat]

is gravity an opinion to you

[faint birch]

im gonna leave you to it bud have fun

HOLY SHIT

[calm furnace]

plasma wants you to play in a different way and thats ass

[clear mulch]

meow

[obsidian patrol]

How did we go from deck in videogame to gravity lmao

[royal bobcat]

no thats very much awesome actually

[slate lance]

No im right.

[obsidian patrol]

You can think something is easy

Thats an opinion

Its not objectively hard or objectively easy

[faint birch]

you hate painted deck so wrong

[calm furnace]

would be awesome if the game had more chip jokers

[slate lance]

Nuh uh painted deck does indeed suck

[clear mulch]

me when i lie

[slate lance]

Im tellin the truth

[royal bobcat]

if you play plasma solely with chips jokers you're going to die

a lot

[vale wharf]

If I had two more levels on flush house, that would already be a guaranteed 100k+
My canio was x10

[royal bobcat]

and often

[clear mulch]

double lie no way?

[calm furnace]

also i have i3 ass of a brain and i cant calculate my hands on plasma

[faint birch]

everyone has opinions for some reason and i wonder why god allows you to disagree with me

[calm furnace]

with normal decks i can estimate all my hands until retriggers and on score effects get in

[faint birch]

i just fucking won with that

like

[slate lance]

Calculator :

[faint birch]

3 times in a row

[royal bobcat]

well because saying "plasma is the easiest deck on gold stake" isn't an opinion, it's something that can be verified

blue deck has the highest win streak on gold stake

[calm furnace]

you think i know how to use one? i play flushes

[royal bobcat]

and as such is the easiest deck to gold stake

its not plasma

[obsidian patrol]

Not for everyone

[faint birch]

you sound so fun

[slate lance]

Bro just add ur final chips and final mult together then divide by 2 and square it

[faint birch]

bye bud

and dont call me bro again

[obsidian patrol]

We need to send all of you back to school

[calm furnace]

i would be okay with that

[slate lance]

Im currently IN school

[calm furnace]

beats work

[slate lance]

Im in college

[slate lance]

A painted deck hater wouldnt be employed

[proper bronze]

meow

[slate lance]

🤷‍♀️

[royal bobcat]

why does that matter exactly? let's say taking nose drops cures a common cold 99% of the time, and all other cures have way worse curing rates. does that mean that nose drops aren't the best way to cure common colds?

i don't get it

like yeah it doesn't work for some people

admittedly

doesn't change anything though

[obsidian patrol]

It means different people have different views on things which is an opinion

[royal bobcat]

some people think the earth is flat

is the fact that the earth is round an opinion?

answer with either yes or no

[slate lance]

Easiness varies from person to person, it is not a definite value
The deck with the highest win streak is the easiest for the one person with that win streak, others may find other ones easier

[proper bronze]

i got petroglyph on ante 2

[slate lance]

I definitely think blue deck isnt the easiest, for me itd be ghost or yellow

[royal bobcat]

why'd you take hiero ante 1 😭

[slate lance]

Checkered was easy ash too i won goldstake in like the firwt couple tries

[obsidian patrol]

Earth is round is a fact
Flat earthers dont think that fact is true

Which is an opinion

[calm furnace]

yeah but no. no one would find black deck the easiest

mechanichally black deck is the worst

[slate lance]

Wrong the earth is a card in balatro

[royal bobcat]

once again, it doesn't really matter. What you find easiest, and what is easiest are two very differing things

[calm furnace]

cards are flat

[slate lance]

Holy shit

[calm furnace]

checkmate round earthers

[obsidian patrol]

only for genius????

[royal bobcat]

it's not my fault if you didn't understand that the argument arrived because someone claimed plasma was THE easiest deck in the game for gold stake

i bear no blame in this issue

unfortunately

[slate lance]

But theres no one set value for easiness, just like there is no one set value for the best colour or the best number
There may be numbers that have more people favouring it than others, doesnt mean its the best number

[royal bobcat]

that's a different thing

[faint birch]

Bro this still going on it's not that deep I just think plasma requires less balancing for more casual play and allows spam

[slate lance]

No it isnt lol

[royal bobcat]

theres no way to find a reasonable measurement to find a best number

[lunar zealot]

obelisk on its way to save the run as usual

[calm furnace]

casual play != consistency on gold stake

[indigo laurel]

Buy brainstorm? Also how to order them

[slate lance]

Easiness is a personal thing that differs depending on yr skills and your brain

[faint birch]

"I think plasma is easiest" now can we stop all being pedantic losers

[slate lance]

Im just saying that easiest is not a binary value

[faint birch]

You know what buddy you are entirely right in every single way

[mossy finch]

[calm furnace]

all opinions are invalid and wrong

[faint birch]

True

[calm furnace]

the only opinion that matters is that campfire is the best joker in this game

[royal bobcat]

choosing a favorite number is entirely random, whereas finding the easiest deck simply revolves around seeing what deck gives you the best tools to win. How do we see which deck does that? simple, how fast do people on average beat gold stake with X deck? which deck has the highest streak?

[slate lance]

Id sell it for the cards can appear again guy

[faint birch]

Somehow the only wrong choice

[faint birch]

You know what buddy you are entirely right in every single way

[calm furnace]

losing with campfire is a choice

[obsidian patrol]

Thats the best rare doe

[slate lance]

Ngl when i was a young little naive balatro player i thought campfire sucked bc it reset at end of ante lol

[obsidian patrol]

see thats an opinion

[faint birch]

It's bad cos I don't like it

[calm furnace]

it actually kind sucks outside of gold stake

[royal bobcat]

no it's not

[faint birch]

:(

[calm furnace]

too expensive to scale

[royal bobcat]

it's a claim

that can be wrong

[obsidian patrol]

the imo is implied

[calm furnace]

its the rentals that make campire so OP

[royal bobcat]

objectively

[faint birch]

You know what buddy you are entirely right in every single way

[slate lance]

How?

[royal bobcat]

campfire is really good regardless it doesn't matter

[calm furnace]

free scaling

[slate lance]

Ohhh

Sell and buy

Yeah

[royal bobcat]

can you say that again

[slate lance]

I usually dont scale campfire with jokers

[faint birch]

You know what fair point those do go crazy

[slate lance]

I scale it using planets or tarots

I only scale it with a joker on maybe ante 8

[calm furnace]

i always keep a slot open with campfire

[faint birch]

Sure just keep being yourself

[obsidian patrol]

Thats a little pedantic dont you think

[royal bobcat]

perhaps

but thats what i'm known for

[obsidian patrol]

Wow

I dont use this word lightly

that is some redditor shit

[slate lance]

Wtf is pedantic

[faint birch]

You must be so proud of being a known pedant

[royal bobcat]

mhm

[faint birch]

The literal only way I'll respect that is if you're autistic

[royal bobcat]

need i say more?

[faint birch]

Real shit keep it up

[slate lance]

The winds blowing my fucking hair everywhere and its messy n9w

Fml

[obsidian patrol]

I dont think being autistic makes you a dickhead

[royal bobcat]

it doesn't

[faint birch]

It doesn't but it's a dickhead I respect

[slate lance]

Did anyone say that 😭

??

[austere escarp]

whats good gang

[obsidian patrol]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[slate lance]

She said she'll respect it if theyre autistic

[royal bobcat]

not the other way around

[austere escarp]

lemme catch up on chat

[obsidian patrol]

I know it is just what caused me to say what i said

[royal bobcat]

hi juice

[slate lance]

Oh ok

[royal bobcat]

[obsidian patrol]

[red thistle]

Idk you.

[faint birch]

More specifically I'm a speed runner and artist so I get around some communities. I am well known in a lot of trans circles cos I helped several people transition and I did incidentally have a large number of trans girls name themselves after me. I'm not a celebrity or something

I'm just kay.

[royal bobcat]

wojack drawings have to be made by people with so much hatred in their heart

about very specific things, too

[red thistle]

Plenty of them on the streets of twitter.

[faint birch]

But you gotta be at least a little well known for people to draw fanart of you

[obsidian patrol]

i am currently drawing one abnout you

[austere escarp]

im trans and have no idea who you are

[royal bobcat]

do you hate me this bad

[obsidian patrol]

not really

[faint birch]

Yeah I'm not important.

Just people know me. Not many

[austere escarp]

we have something in common

[royal bobcat]

so you're just making a fanart then? i'm flattered

[obsidian patrol]

i mean i can draw my buddy dave

[red thistle]

Well today is the first time i saw you in this server. (which isn't saying much as i am not the most active here.

[obsidian patrol]

would you say thats fanart

[faint birch]

Not really

[royal bobcat]

can u make me a hot anime girl

[obsidian patrol]

would that make dave famous

[faint birch]

Fanart is different

[faint birch]

Have you considered estrogen

[obsidian patrol]

good ending

[obsidian patrol]

[obsidian patrol]

im a fan of dave

and i drew art of him

[spark kernel]

How do you even get 100 mil chips in a single hand

[royal bobcat]

you need to have a well-thought out build and a good deck

[faint birch]

Also it's probably worth mentioning without trying to doxx myself that my family is like. Somewhat important. In a they fucking suck way

[obsidian patrol]

[red thistle]

You have to know it's very difficult to understand someone describing themselves like this.

[obsidian patrol]

QUEEN ELIZABETH THE 4TH???

[royal bobcat]

that's even worse than a bad president

[faint birch]

Ikr

[faint birch]

Well until the world stops referring to me by my dead name I'm not sharing much

But for now I'm known by my trans girlies and that's enough for me

[red thistle]

It's also just a natural attribute of the internet, would you believe if i told you i am a divorced 42 yo.

[obsidian patrol]

I mean like

[royal bobcat]

are you the political streamer steven "destiny" bonell II?

[obsidian patrol]

[faint birch]

Given how everyone talks here yes

[obsidian patrol]

hopefully not

[faint birch]

Dont

[royal bobcat]

hey i'm supposed to be the divorced redditor with a neck beard and a dad bod

[red thistle]

Well i lied. I became an adult like 3 months ago.

[royal bobcat]

[faint birch]

Anyway I'm proud to end a royal bloodline as I turn into a lesbian and change my name get fucked dad

[signal frigate]

What the hell happened here?

Did I miss something?

[royal bobcat]

[faint birch]

Balatro

[royal bobcat]

"fuck you dad" 🗣️

[signal frigate]

I hated my dad for a different reason

[royal bobcat]

average COD player

(not derogatory)

[signal frigate]

But anyone who is not a good person isn't gonna be treated nicely

[signal frigate]

Me when Heavy from Team Fortress 2

[faint birch]

Fascinatingly my irl connections aren't as well known as everything else. Or maybe I just don't give a shit

Oh well

[signal frigate]

So, Balatro.

[faint birch]

Right so blueprint and brainstorm should kiss

I got my friend making more balatro yuri

[royal bobcat]

bluestorm yuri

🗣️ 🔥

[signal frigate]

I can make it happen more

I will use my power as an aspiring artist

To make more Bluestorm Yuri

[red thistle]

Man seeing this chat devolve into a subreddit is a sight.

[royal bobcat]

whats wrong with bluestorm yuri

[fading cobalt]

Omg FUCK THIS GAME

[royal bobcat]

i can accept me being called a redditor

[signal frigate]

It's always been this way

[fading cobalt]

WHY DO MY ACES ALWAYS GET BOTTOMDECKED

[proper bronze]

yes

[royal bobcat]

but dont call this place reddit or i WILL crash out

[signal frigate]

Oh hey lore accurate Invisigal

[calm furnace]

why do you play aces

[proper bronze]

we're literally talking in dms rn

[calm furnace]

only thing aces good for is becoming 2s

[fading cobalt]

Scholar and I HAD DECK FIXING BUT STILL COULDN'T DRAW THEM

I got fucked by the water bro

[signal frigate]

I love it when my Rebate wants Aces then refuses to show aces but when I don't want aces, it shows aces

[calm furnace]

water is evil

[lunar zealot]

ello ello

[royal bobcat]

hi kami!

[fading cobalt]

I had recyclomancer aswell

[lunar zealot]

this is why you use hands

[royal bobcat]

hru kami

[calm furnace]

all my homies hate the water

[signal frigate]

What if for some reason, it just loves showing numbered cards

[faint birch]

hey kami you missed the lore drop

[lunar zealot]

the pain is kicking up again

[royal bobcat]

so, kami, very important question

[royal bobcat]

oh, :(

is it bearable?

[signal frigate]

What the fuck

[obsidian patrol]

i love kitchencels

[signal frigate]

I love tomatoes but what is that

[lunar zealot]

kitchencels pisses me off

[faint birch]

just cook good

[red thistle]

R/kitchencels

[royal bobcat]

why do people even browse kitchencels i never found it funny

whats the joker

[obsidian patrol]

its funny

[signal frigate]

Your sexuality has TOTALLY something to do with the reason you're single

[royal bobcat]

wheres the pun

[jagged valve]

Oh .. hi chicot

[royal bobcat]

i don't get it

[lunar zealot]

so many people in amazing financial states and in clearly good life conditions only held back by their terrible mental health and i feel terrible but i also feel mad both at them and at the system that hurts them

[red thistle]

Basically people dumping their life trauma with a picture of food.

[faint birch]

as a lesbian it is shockingly easy to get girls

[obsidian patrol]

its a completely unrelated life fact followed up with cooking

[signal frigate]

People who pretend they can cook shows why they're single

[royal bobcat]

i don't believe you

[signal frigate]

Same sex relationships are shockingly easier

[royal bobcat]

i don't believe anyone actually

[red thistle]

Makes it even funnier that OP is just skill issued.

[lunar zealot]

you would not believe how many women try to get with me

[faint birch]

no i believe it

[signal frigate]

I attract more femboys than girls

[lunar zealot]

good it was only 1 person

[red thistle]

Aside from the fact that most governments will hunt you down.

[faint birch]

oh

[royal bobcat]

i attract nobody actually i guess thats because im a redditor

[obsidian patrol]

you would love this subreddit its called kitchencels

[lunar zealot]

i attract lots of men though lmAO

[faint birch]

at this point more of my life is managing relationship drama of other people interested in me then seeking out girls

[royal bobcat]

i giggled

[obsidian patrol]

thanks im hilarous

[royal bobcat]

not what i said

grrr

[obsidian patrol]

[proper bronze]

that was not funny man

[red thistle]

I just game.

[signal frigate]

Sometimes, pissing off a horde of zombies because the reaction from your friend will be funny is better than finding a partner

[red thistle]

Was never interested in being in a relationship.

[signal frigate]

Friendships are nice

[royal bobcat]

let me laugh miss, damn

[faint birch]

you can do that WITH a partner

or even multiple

[signal frigate]

Yeah but it's harder.

[obsidian patrol]

miss damn? what about mr damn

[faint birch]

hell ever played dokapon kingdom in a polycule?
