Thats not how plasma works

Plasma balances your chip and Mult, MEANS you can go on full chips or full mult, then your score will balance itself, adding chips when you have more mult is still going to increase your score

You cant lose score by adding score

[steel sun]

ok ok i get it thanks for clarifying

500 hours and I wasnt sure lol

[obsidian patrol]

How you spend 500 hours without knowing that

[manic talon]

It just means that if you build for chips AND mult in plasma youre not using the deck's gimmick

[deft panther]

If Black Deck started with the 2 common jokers skip tag so it immediately gets 2 random common jokers at the start of every run, would that be too strong

[manic talon]

Yes

[obsidian patrol]

Yes

[torpid veldt]

better luck next time, yorick

[lunar zealot]

highroll rebate bus

even something mediocre like to do list droll would be good

[manic talon]

Highroll riff raff rebate

[lunar zealot]

highroll riff raff rebate into photochad

[deft panther]

I think the problem there is that some jokers shouldn't be common rarity

[manic talon]

Goodbye Erratic, New hold R deck just dropped

[lunar zealot]

??

[manic talon]

Good common jokers are allowed to be in the game

[deft panther]

I feel Hanging Chad and Rebate would make more sense as uncommons

[lunar zealot]

'make rebate uncommon!'
'make bus uncommon!'
'make chad uncommon!'

[manic talon]

Except rebate, wtf is wrong with rebate

[lunar zealot]

the humble baseball card:

[hardy fable]

make me legendary

[latent egret]

i think the balance of the game is almost perfect

[lunar zealot]

Except rebate

nerf it back down to 3 dollars

[latent egret]

there are some outliers like rebate and blue seals

[lunar zealot]

the blue stake rework will sort that out anyway

as for blue seals nothing can really be done about that

at least not in a way that's interactive

[manic talon]

Make it so if you make mercury out of blue seal your pc explodes

[obsidian patrol]

Rebate rework:
5 dollars per x card discarded
0 discards no matter what

[torpid veldt]

blue seals?

[obsidian patrol]

What about em

[torpid veldt]

yk

[primal eagle]

@lunar zealot hi

[lunar zealot]

Hello

[primal eagle]

do u miss me

[lunar zealot]

ask me about baseball card

[manic talon]

How did rebate got changed to 5 dollars while faceless stayed at 5 with arguably a harder condition

[lunar zealot]

Mayhaps

[lunar zealot]

blue seal = win

a large majority of the time

[primal eagle]

after a few months of not playing i have become so bad at the game

[jaunty valve]

Hey, what's the difference between the base game and the + version on ios?

[primal eagle]

i did not expect myself to be that bad

[mossy finch]

nothing bro

[obsidian patrol]

What plus version

[jaunty valve]

The apple arcade version

[mossy finch]

balatro+ is available in apple arcade

only for ios devices

[manic talon]

Its the exact same game, idk why it got a + on it, marketing scheme maybe

Balatro- when

[jaunty valve]

Thank you

[mossy finch]

only for the people who pay for apple arcade but don't want to pay the dev for the original game

[jaunty valve]

Normal one is 7 times more expensive than getting apple arcade, for me atleast

[lunar zealot]

MMMMMMMMMMM

[mossy finch]

apks are the best

[lunar zealot]

0 actual xmult jokers btw what the hell

all you have is bbc

[mossy finch]

throw that shit

[violet bear]

Good thing that bbc is a humble 12x

[lunar zealot]

no hologram though

no cat

[torpid veldt]

anything is free if you try hard enough

[violet bear]

Yeah its funny

Oops all +mult

[molten monolith]

Hello folks, I’m new to this channel. I joined because I couldn’t Google it. I just managed to beat the game with all jokers on Golden Seal difficulty, but the “Competitionist++” achievement still isn’t unlocked on Steam. Any clue if this is the same bug as “Competitionist+”?

[lunar zealot]

play another run

[molten monolith]

White run?

[torpid veldt]

golden seal difficulty😨

[manic talon]

Finish another run, not seeded, not challenge, any stake, also make sure you dont have any mods

[molten monolith]

None yet, wanted to finish the vanila game before installing any. Thank you!

[jaunty valve]

If you used "unlock all" you will be exempt from achievements

[molten monolith]

Have not 😄

[manic talon]

If the progress bar is blue means youre good

[signal frigate]

Apple role???

Need

[signal frigate]

Yeah that's always a thing, you have to play another run for it to get registered

[mossy finch]

bro you need to get gold sticker on every joker

means you have to clear gold stake on every joker

[manic talon]

Its almost like they did that already

[primal eagle]

did u realize those other jokers contradict one another

i am no longer good enough to make decisions myself wtf

i think this is a skip

[manic talon]

Uhh, yea skip

Personally i would kill square joker, but thats out of spite

[pale wolf]

tbh
could do better than ramen

especially with that extra discard voucher already

[vale wharf]

Does psychic trigger matador?
I can never remember which bosses that mf gets triggered by 😭

[pale wolf]

ye if the hand doesnt count

[manic talon]

Yea but ramen +3 discard delgrat is kinda sweet

[vale wharf]

Yayee

[pale wolf]

its like, 6 dollars
which you'd subsidize with selling the legendary/temperance value if you dont like/do like it

[manic talon]

Soul is still a gamble too, especially late

[pale wolf]

Plus I think that digging power is more powerful than what delayed gratification gives for it assuming there's any value in the deck

[manic talon]

Problem is idk if losing an X2 would just kill em, especially with no +mult in the slot, i'd play it safe

[jagged torrent]

I love bbc

I mean it is the hardest stake for a reason lol

[manic talon]

Idk man i played a lot of wack ass gold stake runs

[pale wolf]

the ease of a gold stake run can vary wildly depending on the start and the deck ur on

[vale wharf]

Is there any joker other than Midas that works with vampire as well?

[pale wolf]

vagabond

i kinda prefer vagabond vamp to

[vale wharf]

What did you call it 😭

[vale wharf]

I see...

You did not

[manic talon]

Any tarot gen joker

8 ball vamp works if you lock in

[slate lance]

Chat I just started golden needle

Troubadour is free handsize hell yeah

[prime valve]

Hello Nat

Look what I got

[slate lance]

Hiya

[prime valve]

Completed erratic on gold

[prime valve]

How are you doing?

[torpid veldt]

i wonder which one is wee

[pale wolf]

lol

[prime valve]

I dont know myself which one is wee

[pale wolf]

how

[prime valve]

Because I know which one is wee

[slate lance]

Hell yeah!

Erratic was kinda meh for me wheh i staked it

[prime valve]

Whole build

[pale wolf]

nice lineup

[prime valve]

It doesnt really matter if I have chips after or before right?

[manic talon]

Not until the 2026 update when introduces Xchips (lie)

[prime valve]

The important is flat mult before xmult

[prime valve]

I hope so

[vale wharf]

Free win

Should I buy blank?

[pale wolf]

doesnt matter, no

[vale wharf]

Does blank guarantee that antimatter will appear before ante 9?

[hardy fable]

yeah no

[pale wolf]

nope

[hardy fable]

no

[vale wharf]

That's bad 😭

[vale wharf]

Wait, but localthunk HAS given info about the future update

[pale wolf]

answer questions

[hardy fable]

rework matador and blue stake and I think adding new jokers?

[vale wharf]

Oh, mb

[hardy fable]

would love to see a new deck but blue stake rework is good enough

[pale wolf]

nervous about what it'll be changed to because I like the game as it is

[vale wharf]

Which are the weakest jokers in the game?

[pale wolf]

if i want one thing, however unrealistic, it would be proper modding api/support

[pale wolf]

showman, idol, baron, seance

[jagged torrent]

Booo

[pale wolf]

yeah besides nebula deck lol

[jagged torrent]

Nooo, not a bardon nerf 😔

[vale wharf]

Aren't these used in super high score runs? 😭

[manic talon]

Why would they nerf baron, its already ass

[pale wolf]

sure, not relevant to high stake gameplay

[jagged torrent]

I think zeb means for gold stake

[vale wharf]

Ah

[tranquil cedar]

wyd in this situation

[pale wolf]

the jokers with the highest peaks are smaller in number than the ones consistent for high stakes

[jagged torrent]

Moon :]

[manic talon]

Nothing?

[pale wolf]

no moon

[vale wharf]

I was so confused when I first joined the server and thought people just liked coding in c++

[jagged torrent]

Lmaoo

[tranquil cedar]

must've been the wind

[jagged torrent]

Wahttt

:3

[pale wolf]

uuuh ur scaling dagger and pants?

[vale wharf]

It's gotta be something you see with new players, right?

[tranquil cedar]

yea

[jagged torrent]

Haha that was me at first too dw

[tranquil cedar]

cause baron is 8$ so more scaling right

so buy him and immediately kill him

[jagged torrent]

Saving money for interest is better I think

Unless you hab lots of gold cards

:>

[tranquil cedar]

i have like two lol

[quartz ember]

decent idea, though its not much better than current lineup

[tranquil cedar]

yea I'll save sure

[tranquil cedar]

I'm killing bean btw just in case

fyi

[vale wharf]

Balatro tip: if heirophant is in the shop along with the arcana pack featuring heirophant, there will always be a soul card inside

This is true and confirmed

[desert niche]

guys

help

what do i do

[jagged torrent]

Verified by big jimbo ahh post

[tranquil cedar]

this is so fake, I opened the pack and found a holo Sylveon ex smh

[molten monolith]

Got it! Thanks guys!

[quartz ember]

golden bjimber moment

[jagged torrent]

Bs prolly

[molten monolith]

480 hours to do it tho, wasted life 😄

[jagged torrent]

Congrats!!

[steel sun]

its soooo over chat

seeded btw

[manic talon]

Now do it again

On all 3 profiles

[steel sun]

congrats bro. last joker?

[willow frost]

GGGGGG

[molten monolith]

Shortcut was the last joker. I fucking hate him!

weak and harder to find

[clear mulch]

but tis good 😢

[pale wolf]

lmfao

had to check what channel i was in

shortcut makes straights almost as easy to play as pairs, which means you get pair ease of draw with saturn scaling

[molten monolith]

haha well i might be newbie, its weak for me

[pale wolf]

its kinda nuts when you use it properly

[molten monolith]

I didnt, had one stupid strategy all the way of grinding this. deck full of kings

[pale wolf]

🦓

[willow frost]

youre definitely not a newbie, try using it more is all

[molten monolith]

are you doing some tournaments of sorts, since there is a multiplayer mod?

[mental bloom]

Ayyyy good job on C++

[clear mulch]

the same five songs

[vale wharf]

Lucky cards rates are definitely lying
My hanging chad triggered +20 mult twice and +$20 on a high card lucky queen
That's a 1/375 chance

[steel sun]

ECTOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[clear mulch]

luck

[obsidian patrol]

sometimes you just get lucky

[clear mulch]

i think thats enough jokers no need for ecto

hold your jokers

[vale wharf]

Maybe that's why they're called lucky cards XD

[steel sun]

i was playing four of a kind so one ecto should be goodo

it just would not show up

i had omen globe and everything brrooooo

[clear mulch]

why 4oak

go 5oak

[violet sparrow]

skip

[steel sun]

ust to make space for more bp and bs

i had neg showman

[clear mulch]

wdym by ust

it can mean very different things

[steel sun]

*just

mb

[clear mulch]

good

[steel sun]

one more brainstorm couldve made it

[clear mulch]

yeah im that good

[steel sun]

thanks very gay brainstorm 😎

[clear mulch]

no problem marcus

[proper bronze]

ooh its brainstorm

[clear mulch]

ohh its blueprint

[proper bronze]

it, it's not alive

[proper bronze]

kisses you

[steel sun]

what the heck

[clear mulch]

kisses you

[steel sun]

are you guys a couple?

[proper bronze]

yes

[clear mulch]

balatro yuri

-# i have to disclose that this is a bit

[vale wharf]

Fuck offfffff violet vessel, I can't deal with your shit

[willow frost]

yeah its a bit gay

🔥

[clear mulch]

i am gay

[willow frost]

gottem

[clear mulch]

no im just gay

[kind creek]

what do I do here?
soc&buskin is negative here

not sure if it would be better than stencil though

what would it be, an ×4?

if I really need to and sell burnt

late game

until then ×3

[clear mulch]

if you level up pairs 3 times, stencil becomes as good as using half joker

[heady narwhal]

sock for the $6 is an option but halfsies is a better option imo

[willow frost]

id rather not take stencil unless you can get three of them

and since thats not guaranteed just dont bother

[clear mulch]

if its gay you take it tho

[pale wolf]

eternal stencil is sad

[desert niche]

sock requires a tonna luck to get something that benefits from face cards

[heady narwhal]

i don't really like eternal stencil as much as it does for your immediate scoring

half joker will carry for a long time

[kind creek]

I don't plan on stopping burnt for the next 4 antes at the very least, so stencil is kind of tempting

[desert niche]

in my unprofessional opinion, i say go for stencil

[kind creek]

3 times the scaling

[desert niche]

considering the burnt

[vale wharf]

insert image of Tony Stark sighing in relief

[pale wolf]

[desert niche]

if youre lucky you may be able to ankh the stencil

[heady narwhal]

what did you skip for?

[pale wolf]

looks like money

[kind creek]

a rare

[pale wolf]

no

[kind creek]

it ended up being burnt

[pale wolf]

The second one

[heady narwhal]

when they have $6?

[pale wolf]

oh I was looking at the wrong image

🦓

[kind creek]

a free rare joker tag, it turned to a burnt, I found 250 chips guy in the first buffoon pack

[heady narwhal]

i guess rare tag is slightly less dubious when there's only one type of sticker

i still don't like it very much

[kind creek]

As long as they're not perishable

[heady narwhal]

i think rental is the big one

rentals are unusable on ante 1 and you can't even get your money back

[kind creek]

rental is tough, but it still gives you the opportunity. You have options with it

perishables feel like "look, in a diffirent run you would have had this blueprint here. Too bad it's ante 2 and you're not taking it with you"

[vale wharf]

I don't even need to sell 😂

[heady narwhal]

for 99% of rares in a1 the options are "keep it and die" or "sell it for $1"

perishable is my favorite sticker

eternal and rental have some cool interactions but they don't change decision making that much

[latent egret]

guess who has 4 queens but only 1 king and 1 jack...

[wide mist]

I like that eternal buffs some weak jokers

[wide mist]

How

[heady narwhal]

eternal makes things like swashbuckler or banner significantly worse

[wide mist]

Ok but when do you pick up swash?

[kind creek]

I like ankhing eternal madnesses

and hexing my eternal jokers

Eternal tag is basically a buff if you use it correctly

[latent egret]

i might actually have to use dna smh

[kind creek]

yoo I just realised soc trib

get deck fixing

[latent egret]

but if i dont get lucky draws i die

[latent egret]

it was already pretty good, a 44 card deck ante 4 is not common

[kind creek]

mr bones is there for you, one unlucky round can be ignored maybe?

[latent egret]

but i killed what trib need

[kind creek]

I would take soc and go for all the arcana packs the game has to offer

[sudden river]

is 3.[blank]e21 basically 3 with 21 zeroes (aka 3 sextillion)?

[latent egret]

unluvky i lost

had a pretty bad boss and couldnt even use dna

tbf i shouldnt even have pivoted, if i was streaking gold stake i wouldve not taken sb

[pale wolf]

yes

[rigid rivet]

Should i ride a holographic bus and start taking faces off my deck?(ante 1)

[vale wharf]

What does base mean exactly?

[sudden river]

yes and yes

[sudden river]

compared to last ante

[paper night]

do u see the base on the left?
thats the base scoring of every ante

so just take that numb on watever ante u are on. multiply if needed, and theres your minimum scoring required

[vale wharf]

Oh

[paper night]

(do note this doesnt work on ante 17+, for obvious reasons)

[vale wharf]

They should just say 2x small then

[vale wharf]

Why 😨

[sudden river]

this also means that extra large and very large blind bosses are not that impactful on endless

[paper night]

how are u gonna see it?
not including outside source material ofc

[latent egret]

indeed

if you dont need a special boss, if you can reroll you're glad to face the wall

or violet vessel

[vale wharf]

I don't get you
Is it more than 2x for some reason? I do not know these reasons

[proper bronze]

sextillion is 9 zeros

[latent egret]

what tillion ?

[vale wharf]

GAY blueprint LESBIAN

[pale wolf]

It's not on the screen

[tender bone]

i GENUINELY despide orange stake i cant imagine what gold stake looks like

[proper bronze]

sex

[pale wolf]

slightly harder

[sudden river]

billion is 9 zeroes

[latent egret]

this is not censord but b+ner is smh

[vale wharf]

Oh, the number is just that big

[pale wolf]

no, like the screenshot you sent

The number you would need to reference is not on the screen

[red thistle]

The score requirement for the ante.

[proper bronze]

oh yeah i'm stupid sex tillion is 12

[sudden river]

sextillion is 21

[red thistle]

Which is also the small blind's.

[proper bronze]

wait im stupid again

[vale wharf]

OHHHHHA (sorry, I'm very daft)

[latent egret]

rare satelite w

[sudden river]

every three zeroes is another illion

[proper bronze]

sex tillion is 21

[paper night]

ante scaling is very high on endless, and very few builds actually go through ante 16, let alone reaching it
so why would u need to know about ante 17+ scale if 1. it doesnt matter since your build is gonna be high enough anyways and 2. u cant reach it 99% of the time

[proper bronze]

basically 9 + 10

[violet bear]

Sextillion should’ve been 69 😔

[sudden river]

almost all the base planets before the unlocked hands

[pale wolf]

they were literally saying that referencing the list that goes to ante16 only works until ante16

Wait you were saying that

[violet bear]

shortcut, based

[pale wolf]

wtf

[sudden river]

sex means six because it's the sixth order of magnitude. the bi in billion means 2, tri in trillion means 3, etc.

[violet bear]

I know

[latent egret]

shortcut and aj is not my combo of choice but itll work

[violet bear]

I’m just making a stupid joke about sex

[sudden river]

english monolinguals when

[proper bronze]

sex

[violet bear]

Real

[violet bear]

Yeah its quite funny

[sudden river]

do you have to unlock C to get C+ because they seem unrelated to each other

[latent egret]

no black hole, its werid to use satelite lol

[proper bronze]

not sure what's wrong about bones

[violet bear]

Nope

I have c+ and c++ without c

[sudden river]

black hole doesn't contribute to satelite

neither does space joker

[proper bronze]

so just + and ++

[sudden river]

or burnt joker

[violet bear]

Yep

[latent egret]

yes ofc but you see these levels when you got a black hole 99% of the time

since satelite is so ass

[rigid rivet]

Ante 1

[sudden river]

I thought the background was a wood table

[jagged torrent]

Sex

[proper flame]

Finally did a pair run AND a Joker^2 run at the same time

[rigid rivet]

Sell or gamble

[clear mulch]

id ankh the order

[rigid rivet]

Oh wait i forgot it destroys the rest

[clear mulch]

just sell the blue joker and then use the anhk

[rigid rivet]

Yeh i already used it and it destroyed the blue one

[clear mulch]

you coulve sold the blue joker for 2 dollars

now youre gionna be broke forver

trust me

[clear mulch]

stake?

[proper flame]

just red stakes. im bad at the video game

[violet bear]

They took the c programming language away from me

[rigid rivet]

Does a straight flush count with the order joker

[proper flame]

Yes

[proper bronze]

🥩

[rigid rivet]

Why do ppl pronounce stake and steak the same

[proper flame]

Tip: If the wording of a joker is "If played hand contains a [hand]" then it doesnt necesarrily have to BE that hand. For example, the duo and trio both apply to a 4oak, and the order also applies to straight flushes

[proper bronze]

cause it's english

[proper flame]

English makes zero sense

[latent egret]

I LOVE GREEN DECK

[blissful fog]

Had a 22x vamp on my recent run

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

Let's restart the streak.

[blissful fog]

Black deck

[vale shale]

Ofcourse.

[rigid rivet]

Viry fnuuy

[proper bronze]

blue

[vale shale]

Alright alrightm

Black was first unfortunately.

[proper bronze]

blue joker is back

[rigid rivet]

Idk what that strength is doing in my straight deck

I should prolly sell it

[proper flame]

I mean until you find a use for 2 slots, its best to keep strength to block

[rigid rivet]

Ow

[proper bronze]

foil popcorn easily tho

[proper flame]

but with the extra 20 dollars of spending money you could find any joker

even a foil popcorn

[vale shale]

I just realized how much I use photochad.

[torpid veldt]

why do i see a blocked message?

[proper bronze]

same thing

[serene forge]

i love my gf

[proper bronze]

same

[vale shale]

Ooo we might win.

[torpid veldt]

don't have one

[vale shale]

And I suck.

[blissful fog]

Damn

[vale shale]

If that lucky card were to hit the mult

Would've I survived?

[barren wigeon]

Probably not

oh you have the order

so maybe

[lunar zealot]

ermmm

play the uhh

pair of jacks then the 10 5 and 2

[serene forge]

I hate The Water

[lunar zealot]

then use chariot on the ace and put it to the right of the queens

[torpid veldt]

use dna on the enchantet cards

[subtle arch]

one of the biggest beginner mistakes is thinking that ONLY the jokers matter and the arcana/celestial/normal packs suck

[torpid veldt]

always bought all of them as a begginer

[clear mulch]

why is everybody friends with the blueprint

[torpid veldt]

i don't buy normal packs if i don't need to

[clear mulch]

presses profile
"1 friend in common"

[proper bronze]

i send friend requests

[quaint stag]

well the blueprint copies the abilities of the joker to the right

[vale shale]

I still would've lost.

[clear mulch]

that makes sense

i only receive them

[torpid veldt]

x2.25

[lunar zealot]

i mean

if you think that you're kinda stupid

like literally failing basic arithmetic

[rigid rivet]

Shortcut for drunkard?

[hardy fable]

yes

[clear mulch]

mmmh yeas

straights become very easy to make so no need for that extra discard

[clear mulch]

if youre only trying to make straights and nothing else

[hardy fable]

would compare having shortcut making straights as common as two pair

[subtle arch]

oh my god the 2 straight cards go hard

[pale wolf]

oh no -.06 xmult

[subtle arch]

go for the alleyway

[vale shale]

[pale wolf]

juh

juh

[torn drift]

what is localthunk doing now

[vale shale]

Locally thunking.

[torn drift]

a new game

would he do balatro 2

[proper bronze]

probably localthunking

[hardy fable]

thunking locally till I balatro

[rigid rivet]

First pack feeling lucky

[proper bronze]

i my untill i alatro

[worn drum]

What's the preference of seals if I don't yet have any in my deck

[worn drum]

Like say I open standard pack and it has all the seals but I can only pick one

[torn drift]

hu???

[hardy fable]

blue>purple>gold>red

[torn drift]

make an absolute cinema joker

[worn drum]

Was wondering about what the order between purple and gold is

Thanks

[torn drift]

make a joker that can undo a round

[signal frigate]

That's a Voucher

[torn drift]

what voucher

-1 hand -1 ante?

[signal frigate]

Heiro

It undos an entire Ante

What more do you want?

[proper bronze]

brine

[signal frigate]

Gay.

[waxen fable]

It's so good...

[torn drift]

oh

[waxen fable]

Don't take it if ur ahead btw

[signal frigate]

Yeah, you can do it again with the upgrade

[signal frigate]

What this guy said

[waxen fable]

Wasting a hand is detrimental

[signal frigate]

It's usually used to scale jokers

[torn drift]

yeah i didnt like it

[waxen fable]

Doesn't matter if u like it or not

[torn drift]

bad idea

[waxen fable]

It's like an emergency voucher

[signal frigate]

It's an amazing Voucher, there's just a good and bad time for it

[torn drift]

oh

ok

[signal frigate]

If you're struggling, you can take it

Scoring less than you would

You take it

[torn drift]

my fav voucher is +1 hand or somthing like that

[latent egret]

bait/10

[waxen fable]

Almost all vouchers are emergency except grabber and director's cut

[signal frigate]

To buy more time

[rigid rivet]

Just got an ankh for my burnt joker

[signal frigate]

Not necessarily

[waxen fable]

The greatest white stake player will take it and get killed on the spot

[torn drift]

whats director vut

[signal frigate]

Discount and Overstock is almost always good

[signal frigate]

Reroll bossblind

[waxen fable]

Reroll a boss

[torn drift]

oh ok

[signal frigate]

Aswell as it's upgrade, Retcon

[obsidian patrol]

If they are a white stake player they will be fine actually

[waxen fable]

If the plant gonna fucking kill u u can just reroll

[signal frigate]

You can always make a contingency

[waxen fable]

This is the voucher all photochad players yearn for

[obsidian patrol]

Nobody good getting killed by the plant

[signal frigate]

Just grab numbered glass

It's especially avoidable with Photochad

Because Chad is just that good

[waxen fable]

Retriggers are good

[signal frigate]

Flush is actually kinda good for Photochad because you can use a numbered glass and essentially still have the same effect

Or pairs

[signal frigate]

You're the plant for Devil Hunters

[waxen fable]

Yes but why flush photochad when u can 4oak it

Or 3oak it

[signal frigate]

Because there's less chances of drawing the same numbered cards 4 times

It's a contingency

[latent egret]

@waxen fable bro wants to be invited to the party so bad

[waxen fable]

Fair enough

[signal frigate]

Having a high base planet level will help with a glass

[obsidian patrol]

What does that even mean

I mean i get it

[waxen fable]

Wow

The pack gonna have a dice

[signal frigate]

I thought it'd be an obvious joke

[rigid rivet]

Dayum

[latent egret]

sadly not

[obsidian patrol]

i mean i kinda get it

[waxen fable]

💔

Sold

[torn drift]

nooooooo

[signal frigate]

Tbh, that voucher is actually pretty good for it

[rigid rivet]

I got chicot

[signal frigate]

What stake?

[waxen fable]

But It takes forever to level up flush to the point of less bloodstone procs are not a problem

[rigid rivet]

Red

[waxen fable]

Also we don't even know if this guy passed the head or not

[torn drift]

guys i have a bug where sometimes the game wants me to sell a joker but i dont want so there is the sell button and if i missclick i sell it accidentally

is it normal

[signal frigate]

That's still something to consider

[signal frigate]

That's a common bug

[waxen fable]

It's so bad without a dice

[torn drift]

like this with hanging chad

[signal frigate]

Yeah, I would've considered selling the clubs instead

[torn drift]

🙁

[signal frigate]

Or Drunkard

Selling the Chad was kind of a questionable play

[waxen fable]

It won't get fixed until 2 years later cus the dev had a burnout

[torn drift]

oh

[signal frigate]

They're one person working on the game, give em a break

[waxen fable]

I understand

[latent egret]

i got no flat mult, if i sell the clubs im dead

i sold the drunkard

[signal frigate]

I suggested that next

[waxen fable]

Getting ur first debut game to be popular already is crazy

[signal frigate]

You have Constellation as the win con at least

[torn drift]

millionaire jackpot

[signal frigate]

That also goes for Lethal Company

[waxen fable]

He's the 1% gambler among the game devs

[torn drift]

why he doesnt hire someone

[signal frigate]

A furry sold more copies of their game than COD

[torn drift]

for some months

[obsidian patrol]

Having your solo indie project be nominated for goty is crazy

[waxen fable]

Because he published it to playstack already

[signal frigate]

He did hire someone for music

And we gotta thank that person

Because Balatro soundtrack is iconic

[waxen fable]

It was last year goty in mobile games category

[torn drift]

hum

[waxen fable]

This year's mobile goty is unfortunately um... A peculiar game

[obsidian patrol]

It was also almost the actual goty

[signal frigate]

Is it fuckin Assassin's Creed?

[latent egret]

well im hyped for the photo now

[waxen fable]

Not assassin's creed

[torn drift]

did balatro win goty?

[signal frigate]

Okay good

[obsidian patrol]

No

[waxen fable]

There's this funny japanese media about

[signal frigate]

It was nominated

Which is already a pretty good damn achievement

[waxen fable]

Portraying ladies like race horses

[obsidian patrol]

Astrobot won it that year

[obsidian patrol]

Which is to be fair

The 2nd best choice

[signal frigate]

Oh Uma

[waxen fable]

Yes

[signal frigate]

I forgot about that game

[waxen fable]

Umamusume pretty derby

[signal frigate]

I enjoyed it actually

[obsidian patrol]

Potraying horses as women*

[waxen fable]

Is this year's fucking goty for mobile games

[torn drift]

what was local thunk job before making the game?

programmer?

[signal frigate]

You gotta admit, it's impressive how damn massive it became

[waxen fable]

We don't know

[latent egret]

homeless man on the street

[signal frigate]

It wasn't even new

[latent egret]

only fan star

[signal frigate]

Umamusume has been out for years

The global release just pushed it even further

[obsidian patrol]

It also won best debut indie i think

[waxen fable]

No good mobile games this year

[signal frigate]

And to be fair, there's not alot of competition for Mobile games

[waxen fable]

I don't consider prettyderby to be one

[red thistle]

Umamusume S1 opm treatment while S3 opm gets blue lock treatment is so depressing.

[signal frigate]

It's accessible for mobile devices and I guess that's good enough?

[signal frigate]

Tbf, the anime goes absolutely crazy

[waxen fable]

I've heard if u wanna even be "good" at that game u have to be lucky asf

[signal frigate]

This shit was hype as fuck

Made me an Agnes Tachyon believer cuz the irl horse lore for this girl is some anime protagonist bs

[red thistle]

What?

[signal frigate]

Umamusume anime is amazing

[red thistle]

Yea that's what i meant.

[latent egret]

wanna see something funny

[signal frigate]

The irl Agnes Tachyon has some insane aura though

Apparently he was so goddamn fast, anybody betting PULLED AWAY the moment they saw him racing

[latent egret]

nice shop post plant ngl

[signal frigate]

And instead hoped that their horses placed second place

Even her name is epic, literally means Speed of Light

[red thistle]

A much more anticipated and beloved anime gets such humiliation while some horse girl slop gets the best animation in the whole year.

[signal frigate]

Calling it slop is a stretch because it's essentially a retelling of an irl event

Everything that happened in the anime actually happened irl

[waxen fable]

Bro roffle

[signal frigate]

Just put in a different medium

[torpid veldt]

captured with what series moments

[obsidian patrol]

Slop is when i dont like something

[waxen fable]

If u were roffle u would make millions out of this clip

[signal frigate]

Still though, OPM deserved better

[signal frigate]

That's now what the word has become

We can't appreciate high quality and call it slop because we don't like it

[waxen fable]

Slop is when the same idea is overdone over and over until it's not good* .

[obsidian patrol]

Nope

[red thistle]

4chan's vile ideas seep through every crevice of the internet.

[obsidian patrol]

Not at all

[waxen fable]

The 4chan plague is spreading further through the internet

[proper bronze]

don't mind me just sending friend requests to everyone

[obsidian patrol]

Balatro is just quality slop, you only like it cause its well made and good

[waxen fable]

Auto denying it

[signal frigate]

Jokes on you, I'm doing that myself

[red thistle]

So true twin.

[obsidian patrol]

You werent lyin

[red thistle]

They were.

[signal frigate]

But ye, Umamusume having more frames than One Punch Man is crazy

[waxen fable]

I'm ignoring this friend request

[signal frigate]

And Season 2 OPM was treated too harshly.

[red thistle]

Nvm.

[waxen fable]

It's that bad huh

I never touched opm s3

[red thistle]

I never hated s2 because atleast it looked like they were trying to make it good.

[waxen fable]

My brother said it was ts abbysmal

[signal frigate]

It's this bad

[waxen fable]

????

How did they stoop this low

[signal frigate]

That's an actual fucking scene in the anime

[signal frigate]

The joke that the manga has more frames is genuinely real

[torn drift]

btw i dowloaded the game only for the ipnotic wavy background

it looked cool

i thought it was a boring card game

with difficult rules

[signal frigate]

Alot of people thought so but the numbers don't lie

[signal frigate]

Yeah I owe Season 2 an apology

At least, the character designs actually looked good

I'll take this anyday

[red thistle]

I remember first when the final garou vs saitama came out in manga.

[proper bronze]

that's so true

[red thistle]

People said it was better drawn than berserk.

[signal frigate]

I lost all hope for that arc being done well

[waxen fable]

Stop spamming my friend request diddyblud

[red thistle]

Atleast we still have murata and his godlike art.

[obsidian patrol]

too bad the story is fucked up

[red thistle]

How is it fucked up.

[signal frigate]

Wdym?

One Punch Man always had amazing story

[obsidian patrol]

It misses the point of a lot of crucial moments from the web comic

[signal frigate]

I'm actually so happy about the new chapter though

[signal frigate]

Everything is not gonna be adapted

[waxen fable]

Nice excuse for a huge production company. Adapt everything

[red thistle]

It is incredibly over for the opm anime.

[obsidian patrol]

Im saying it fucks up moments it adapts

[waxen fable]

Just read the manga at this point

[slate lance]

I almost fucking won golden needle but the water ruined it 🥲

[red thistle]

Unless bandai sells the rights to someone who cares about it, the corporate suits are just going to look at the numbers and go "ah i guess it's just not good from the start" then scrap the whole anime.

[obsidian patrol]

web comic*

[red thistle]

She was then shot 11 times in her upper body.

[latent egret]

im alreasy starting the c++ grind even without c+

[slate lance]

No the thing is i managed to get my winning hand with two deaths but i had hit the road

[latent egret]

i shoudlve take an uncommon but oh well

[slate lance]

And i didnt manage to get a reroll ability in the two shops befire

Boss reroll i mean

I think so

Its so ass ☹️

[signal frigate]

The water is hilarious in Golden Needle yeah

The game is just flipping you off

[blazing plinth]

I got stuntman.

Now all i need is one last voucher. Petroglyph. Just need it to show up in shop.

Advice to get that last voucher?

[torn drift]

hack the game

[obsidian patrol]

Hack the game?

How am i gonna use hack on the game

[stiff fjord]

use it with wee joker

[slate lance]

Yall aint ever seen a bootstrap this great before

[tender bone]

what happens if you get negative score

[slate lance]

Literally what happened to me

Ah

Im not takiny it anyway because brainstorm run

Too good to waste

I'll go for the ramen

[signal frigate]

You just play

[slate lance]

Yah itd basically just increase the blind size

[signal frigate]

Vouchers appear on their own, with a few exceptions

[slate lance]

If u have no greater mult i mean

[slate lance]

Anaglyph, replay until u get hieroglyph, then just play until u get a voucher tag (with double tags active)

Thats how i got my last voucher

Or just naturally play and you'll get it eventually

You do you

[white zodiac]

I have!

[tender bone]

what happens if you doublke money while at -20

does it stay the same or 049

[white zodiac]

nothing

[tender bone]

aight

[still dove]

Heyo, so I have a pretty potent build going on of five of a kind/five flush heart build
Would it be good to sac something for oops all 6s for the guaranteed bloodstone?

I was thinking maybe Cavendish but I'm not sure if that maths works out it being better, I'd assume so tho

[slate lance]

I think itd be better

U could probably put ur blueprint on bloodstone too at that point

[obsidian patrol]

get rid of banan

[slate lance]

And itd be 1.5¹⁵ if u do brainstorm on bloodstone too

[still dove]

Oh lord okay

What about blueprint?

[slate lance]

Wdym

[slate lance]

I meant blueprint and brainstorm here

Youd get x 437 per heart flush

[still dove]

Ahhh

Gotcha

[slate lance]

If ur copies are all on bloodstone which would be ur best bet

[still dove]

Aight I'll get that going, thanks!

[slate lance]

Wait i forgot about sock n buskin

Youd get more than that 😭

[potent tree]

good morning balatronians

[slate lance]

Hello

[potent tree]

i saw stone joker in a run yesterday but unfortunately it was a rental. my econ would not forgive me if i picked it up

so the hunt continues...

[slate lance]

Is stone joker one of ur last

[potent tree]

yea along with dusk

[slate lance]

Ah

It was one of my first so ig im lucky

[lunar zealot]

shouldn't be too hard

[potent tree]

i sold a run with dusk and chicot because of no +mult

i had xmult but not +mult lol

[still dove]

Oh should I copy sock n buskin for even more power?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[slate lance]

If u put blueprint on sock n buskin and brainstorm on an oops bloodstone

Youd get 1.5²⁰ instead

Actually no

³⁰

[potent tree]

if you copy oops you guarantee wheel hits

[lunar zealot]

What the fuck are you talking about

[slate lance]

Can u even copy.oops or id it incompatible

[twin lantern]

yo why cant i find the balatro multiplayer mod on mod manager?

[potent tree]

i think you can?

[still dove]

Like this?

[lunar zealot]

blueprint tends not to copy passive effects

[slate lance]

Fair enough

[slate lance]

Yeah

[still dove]

Can confirm it's incompatible

[slate lance]

I think thatd get you the best possible output

[latent egret]

i love playing white stake with my brain off

[lunar zealot]

By the way sell that family and buy that luchador

[white zodiac]

btw the way

[still dove]

Just for extra protection from a boss blind?

Hmm true

[lunar zealot]

it's a single instance of xmult lmao

[obsidian patrol]

X4 is barely anything now

[still dove]

Yeahhh

Fair point

[lunar zealot]

you can ecto and find showman into another blueprint and that will provide more than family ever will

get the luchador so you don't die like a moron

no offense

But if you take offense to that then you probably die like a moron too often

[still dove]

Can confirm

Have died like a moron before

On it, thanks

[white zodiac]

no offense but your offense could use some defense

[potent tree]

defense wins championships

[still dove]

Good god

[lunar zealot]

all that to die to head

also ante 13 weirdly enough

you need glass red seal face cards to survive

[wanton oracle]

I hate this game sm

Giving me this seed on painted deck

[lunar zealot]

Better than brainstorm actually

because you can copy constell now

[wanton oracle]

Yeah

[slate lance]

Chat what do i sell for wraith

The mystic summit and red card are both holo

And the vagabonds foil

Ok fuck the vagabond actually

[obsidian patrol]

Droll

[potent tree]

oh golden needle

yeah droll has to go honest

[latent egret]

droll

[slate lance]

I sold the vagabond

[potent tree]

gg

[obsidian patrol]

Foil is important

Ggs

[potent tree]

look forward to many hours of regret

[slate lance]

Drill was keeping me up too guys ok

[still dove]

I'll take ante 13 for sure
Thanks for the help

[latent egret]

it was less tha n1/4 of your score

[proper bronze]

what was the wraith

[slate lance]

Wee

I lost the next round 💔

[obsidian patrol]

Wow

Almost like

[latent egret]

ofc you aint got no chips

[slate lance]

Vagabond wasnt doing much either

[obsidian patrol]

FOIL

[latent egret]

CHIPSSSSSSSSSSSS

[wanton oracle]

Another good joke game

[latent egret]

HERLOOOOOOL

[slate lance]

THE 50 CHIPS WASNT THATTT MUCH

[latent egret]

HELLO

[obsidian patrol]

IT OS

[latent egret]

what are your hands levels

[obsidian patrol]

IT LITERALLY IS

[slate lance]

Flush was like lvl 2

[tender bone]

😭😭😭\

[latent egret]

if its less tha level 3, it was a 2x

[proper bronze]

green joker best joker prove me wrong

[potent tree]

the only reason i beat golden needle was early ajchad

[wanton oracle]

I kinda just want it for the sticker but its probably easier to wait for gold stake for that

[slate lance]

Eh whatever

I'll try again

[latent egret]

its "useless" to sticker it now

[wanton oracle]

With my luck ill also get yorick lol

[proper bronze]

happens

[latent egret]

once you get the gold sticker it counts as all the other ones before

[tender bone]

yorick the best joker oat

[pale wolf]

still good though

at a certain point discarding with groker doesn't really matter because it either doesn't make a significant impact on your scoring or just allows you to scale one additional hand to make up for it

[marsh needle]

Holy negative tag pulls

its all pairslop

Is ts free win?

[wanton oracle]

Prolly

[marsh needle]

Wish i was on gold a gold sticker on mr bones would be amazing to have

havent unlocked yet

for this deck

[jagged torrent]

Delayed gratty

[pale wolf]

Don't get ahead of yourself, you might just use him

[tender bone]

can anyone explain how stickers work? like do you have to get the joers at some point in the run or actually win with them

[pale wolf]

You have to cross from anti-8 into anti-9 for the first time on a run with the Joker intact

[wanton oracle]

They need to be in your joker slots when you defeat ante 8 boss

[torpid veldt]

fication

[jagged torrent]

Honestly it's a free 10 bucks in most cases

[tender bone]

so the achievement for a gold sticker on every joker is pretty much impossible right

[pale wolf]

so if it destroys itself it will not get the sticker, but if it is present at all in ante 9 after having been in ante 8
Even if it's debuff

[pale wolf]

?? impossible how

[tender bone]

not really but very hard 😭

[pale wolf]

just time consuming, not actually difficult

[tender bone]

i cant even beat orange stake can only imagine gold

[pale wolf]

lots of people have c++ me included

[tender bone]

damn nice

[pale wolf]

it'll get better with play

[tender bone]

I am trying to find someone to help but none of my friends play balatro

[tender bone]

ive got 95 hours :/

[pale wolf]

consuming content of actual good gameplay helps too

[marsh needle]

Yes.

[pale wolf]

That's still fairly early

[marsh needle]

Haha yeah im excited to have him for maybe a tough boss to save me

[tender bone]

yeah but i feel like i shouldve beaten orange by now

tbf the only thing im doing is playing stakes

[pale wolf]

I didn't find orange stake that much harder than purple

[tender bone]

yeah me neither ive been on it for 2 days

but purple was HELL

[wanton oracle]

Green joker + burnt my fav combo

[pale wolf]

perishables are hit or miss, generally you take the same Jokers whether it's perishable or not unless it's a scaler

[wanton oracle]

You still get chips at least

[marsh needle]

shit still gonna be +30 at least by ante 8 boss

[pale wolf]

are you only playing it on one deck or what

[tender bone]

YOU MEAN ORANGE?

caps sorry

if you mean that im only playing red deck

i want to beat every stake on one deck then move to another

[marsh needle]

Picked up directors cut, i got insurance for days while i farm pair levels…

… just… just like we drew it up … 🥹

[pale wolf]

it seems like a way of building bad habits and then resetting any of the good habits that you built from the high stakes, but it probably doesn't matter how you do it tbh

I played sporadically until I got checker deck to Orange stake, and then I got all of the decks to Orange stake so I could do gold stuff in one big sweep

[deft panther]

baltro

[tender bone]

first i unlocked all vouchers and most jokers tho so they could help me

[pale wolf]

yeah same

[deft panther]

I've unlocked all the jokers and vouchers and am trying to get most of the decks up the stakes

[tender bone]

i beat purple by playing straight

[deft panther]

But I have beat gold stake on one deck so far

[tender bone]

i had the joker that makes straights with a gap of one and the thing that x3 if hand has all suits

[white zodiac]

awkward hidden synergy moment

[pale wolf]

https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers in two, || be gone foul beast Go back from whence you came||

[white zodiac]

bruh

[latent egret]

you lucky duck

[pale wolf]

there was no luck

[latent egret]

how could you know the rarity

[pale wolf]

because of the price

and because of the ability

[marsh needle]

Completely unfixed vanilla deck btw ❓

[tender bone]

how much do legendary jokers cost to buy ive only gotten them from soul cards

[marsh needle]

you only can from soul cards

But like

Hypothetically

[pale wolf]

You can never buy them, but they sell for $10 so you can extrapolate that they would cost $20 to buy

[marsh needle]

Given they sell for 10

Theyd cost like 18-20

[tender bone]

oh they cant show up iin the shop?

woah i didnt know that

[marsh needle]

ive said this before but like

[pale wolf]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/The_Soul

[marsh needle]

i have idea that could be cool

[signal frigate]

There was a misconception that showman makes them appear in the shop

[marsh needle]

if there was a deck or challenge that swapped all vouchers and joker effects that fit the voucher type of thing

like thered be normal jokers yeah

[signal frigate]

But Showman just allows the second soul to have the chance to be the same

[pale wolf]

it should

[marsh needle]

But you could buy like a Splash voucher

[pale wolf]

:D

[signal frigate]

Yeah I agree

It'd be funny

[white zodiac]

wow factor ruined

[marsh needle]

Or a Troubador voucher

[tender bone]

so basically the chances of getting a souul card from the spectral and tarrot packs is the same?

[marsh needle]

and you could buy like Tarot Merchant as a joker

[white zodiac]

the showman buff nobody expected

[marsh needle]

I think thatd be sick

[pale wolf]

yeah, you have the same Chance per slot on both packs but arcana packs have more slots

[tender bone]

oooh

this ga,e has so many things i had no idea about

[junior hamlet]

do i get oops?

[pale wolf]

The wiki is pretty cool

[marsh needle]

I never get legendaries brooooo dont get one all day

[marsh needle]

i got 3 black holes in one 8 ante run once tho

[pale wolf]

In a full run, if you're opening every pack, you get a soul every 7 runs or something

[signal frigate]

That's what makes it so cool, such a simple game but with so many nuances

[marsh needle]

Was hella helpful for the late swap from 4oak to flush five

[white zodiac]

whip out the calc mi amigo

[torpid veldt]

chicot is coming

[pale wolf]

i think rt calced it

[signal frigate]

Everyone has to get one eventually

[marsh needle]

Affirm 🩷
(On my current run i already have negative mr bones and director’s cut 😭)

[signal frigate]

Chicot is overhated imo

It's a pretty good Legendary

[white zodiac]

@rt this true

[signal frigate]

If I'm already deep into a run and get a soul, I'd rather it be Chicot

[pale wolf]

I think his effect should be whatever the effect of two chicotes normally is

[marsh needle]

i think the problem with chicot is the the cases where its good is when you may be in a bit of trouble

The other legendaries are much easier to make useful when you are doing well

[vapid grail]

should i do black stake on red deck today

[junior hamlet]

yeah cause iy gets you two dollars in ibterest

[vapid grail]

or pained deck

[pale wolf]

just disabling the boss blind is very helpful but it's kind of underwhelming to a newcomer

it literally makes the game more boring

[signal frigate]

It's exceptionally simple, and that's okay

[vapid grail]

is pained even fun

[obsidian patrol]

Yes

[junior hamlet]

hand size cheese tho

[signal frigate]

Disabling an entire bossblind without having to sell it is still game bending

[latent egret]

its best for consistency and its the same people feel about pairs sometimes

[vapid grail]

how fun

[signal frigate]

That's an unintended bonus

[pale wolf]

obviously with the bugs ironed out, no permanent hand size from just having a chiclet

[signal frigate]

More likely to be patched out
