[heavy heron]

PLEASE

LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

32x 36 =1,152 mult

you should.. probably win

if not with 2 flushes

[slate lance]

Do u need mods to see this

[pale wolf]

no just steam or android balatro

[heavy heron]

wait what, are these your planets used?

[slate lance]

Thats stupid

Im on playstation

[fallow fog]

https://youtu.be/7RF3eUfFWAo?si=Cm3Ve09li-V23c2u

[heavy heron]

that’s awesome

[vale wharf]

I FORGOT TO MOVE IT, I'M GONNA CRY 😭😭😭

[heavy heron]

i’m on ios, we can suffer together

[pale wolf]

left is lifetime planets used, right orange is lifetime hand played usage

[heavy heron]

DUDE

DUDE!!!!!

[pale wolf]

for the profile

[fallow fog]

cooked

[blissful fog]

Aint no way bruh

[slate lance]

🥲

[vale wharf]

😎 let's go

[blissful fog]

Close call

Ggs

[heavy heron]

i’m ngl your flushes aren’t as far behind as i thought

[vale wharf]

I flushed the shit outta that vessel 🔥

[pale wolf]

double tag
AAA
r24
phew

[heavy heron]

nice!

[solid echo]

what do i sell also whats the plan now

[fallow fog]

thats a violent toilet

[pale wolf]

i started c+/c++ at like 4.5k flushes

[fallow fog]

sorry violet vessel

[heavy heron]

ugh, everybody trashes on flushes until you got a tribe and 2 brainstorms and a blueprint🙄 🙄 🙄

[pale wolf]

i have played relatively few since i got good better at the game

[heavy heron]

good job bro, that high planet diet paying off

[heavy heron]

planets? or played?

oh played

i don’t even know how you remember that

[heavy heron]

bro how is this not on ios

[pale wolf]

aye

[heavy heron]

i want to see my played hands stats

[vale wharf]

I missed at least 12 flush levels because I didn't even think about using fire joker to get copied 😭😭😭
I realised only at violet vessel

[pale wolf]

It's because you can't access your save data on other platforms, steam lets you do it by default and Google lets you retrieve your Google Play data, none of the other platforms allow you to without breaking in

[heavy heron]

don’t worry it was still enough, flushes are just that good 😎

[jovial tapir]

Walkie talkie done is the easiest gold stake seed ever like ghost deck first pack hologram and early aunkh with grimbo

[heavy heron]

so what i’m hearing is localthunk needs to add another stats page officially in the game

but bro is too busy on the next update or whatever 🙄

[jovial tapir]

Yeah played amount of hands

[pale wolf]

well it's interesting that all of these things are saved in the game but not displayed anywhere

[heavy heron]

i hope he adds a joker that gains 5x mult per flush played

[fallow fog]

Toilet related joker

make it a joker using his phone on the throne

[heavy heron]

well it prob has to keep track of how many times you’ve played a hand to display your most played hand

[heavy heron]

LOL BRO

[potent tree]

first run of the savefile is a victory 🔥

[fallow fog]

maybe a joker trying to skip out on work in the toilet

[pale wolf]

things like wins and losses per Joker, and on each deck

[heavy heron]

nice!

[fallow fog]

nat neg?

[potent tree]

on the blue yes

[fallow fog]

dangs lucky

[potent tree]

hallucination was a ecto

[heavy heron]

they should just add a joker with the flushed emoji 😳

[fallow fog]

or that too

[heavy heron]

and it.. scales flushes.. or smth

or.. something

it’s an obelisk for flushes basically

for every flush you play, as long as it isn’t your most played hand, gains .5x mult

LOOLLL

[fallow fog]

nahhhhhhhhhhh

[heavy heron]

doesn’t reset, ever

[fallow fog]

everytime u dont play a flush it resets

[heavy heron]

my obelisk flush

[heavy heron]

DAMN

[fallow fog]

😳

[heavy heron]

😳

[heavy heron]

IS THAT MY SCREENSHOT

OF MOST PLAYED HAND

[fallow fog]

quality gold right there

[vale wharf]

That is your screenshot

Of most played hand

[heavy heron]

BRO LOOLLL

[fallow fog]

stolen valor

[quick flare]

think I yeet troubadour or yorick here

[heavy heron]

because they get flushed…………..

[vale wharf]

Hey, I did mention it was yours ☝️

[heavy heron]

wait did you really

where

[vale wharf]

Oh, it was before that

You were "this guy on discord"

[heavy heron]

LOL OK

this guy on discord

[fallow fog]

whats the reasoning to not kill troub

[hazy epoch]

anyone here play Balatro?

[heavy heron]

i don’t think so, no, sorry

[fallow fog]

nope not here

[heavy heron]

maybe try #🃏・off-topic

[fallow fog]

all we talk abt is flushing

[vale wharf]

Check in the Celeste server, sorry

[hazy epoch]

ohhhh my bad yall thanks for letting me know

[heavy heron]

lowkey i been sleeping on troubadour

[quick flare]

hand size go br

[heavy heron]

that hand size is yummy

[pale wolf]

what should i do with this

[heavy heron]

no problem, good luck

[heavy heron]

what even is that

that looks like an awesome tarot

[fallow fog]

angel

[pale wolf]

have you ever played balatro

[heavy heron]

i think so

i’m not sure actually

[fallow fog]

all i see is jupiter and funny cards

so i dont think so

[hazy epoch]

what even is the latro? 😭🙏

[vale wharf]

Wait, are there any vocaloid enthusiasts in here?

[heavy heron]

if it’s an angel, opposite of devil, it should add an enhancement to a card where it takes away $3 at end of round if held in hand, but gives…. i don’t know… a planet level for your hand

a blue seal at a fee

without needing spectrals or standard packs

THAT SOUNDS FIRE

[quick flare]

probably my favourite joker honestly

[pale wolf]

it's literally just judgements sprite

[heavy heron]

wait what

BRO

I NEVER HAVE SEEN JUDGMENT UP CLOSE

[fallow fog]

never paid attention to it actl

[heavy heron]

i’m like that person who saw sock and buskin as a one face

[fallow fog]

the trumpets of the rapture

[quick flare]

as for how my most played joker stats look like this anyway, I do not know

[heavy heron]

ok zeba

[fallow fog]

i think he likes photochad

[heavy heron]

endless player…

[fallow fog]

js a hunch

[heavy heron]

maybe not honestly

[silent quiver]

Blueprint hunter

[heavy heron]

mine shows photochad but i rarely run photochad

[fallow fog]

i think the plant likes him

[brave fox]

My finger slipped on a straight and threw my double trib run down the toilet 😭

[quick flare]

used to, yes

[heavy heron]

bro

every time i accidentally play the wrong hand i close the app instantly and hope it didn’t save

[fallow fog]

wait wheres brainstorm

whys it not in this list

[pliant jewel]

you can just go to the main menu

[heavy heron]

i never saw judgment as an angel

that’s insane

what

[quick flare]

half the runs when its all going downhill, photochad somehow comes to rescue

[heavy heron]

i didn’t even know what judgment was

[heavy heron]

that’s smart

[quick flare]

I am also just as clueless

[heavy heron]

that’s valid

[vale wharf]

Y'all, imagine a vocaloid mod and GUMI's Copycat and Echo become blueprint and brainstorm reskins

[heavy heron]

gumi mentioned 😱

[quick flare]

could be that one endless run with 4 blueprints that did it

[pale wolf]

go check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider–Waite_Tarot

thats what balatro tarots are based on

[heavy heron]

i’m actually interested

[vale wharf]

2nd best vocaloid ✌️

[fallow fog]

there are 72 tarot cards actl

so i wonder what tarot ideas thunk has

[uncut matrix]

what are the planet cards are based on 🤔

[pale wolf]

definitely not adding the minor arcana

[pale wolf]

i think they sort of exist already but the specific card designs are original afaik

[fallow fog]

maybe part of it

[vale wharf]

Woah, why do the same 12ish appear everywhere, though?
(also, what's actl?)

[pale wolf]

I highly doubt that he would add only a portion, and there are far too many to add an entire new type of consumable or to bloat the pool of tarots already

[brave fox]

I remember seeing a hellstar remina mod planet card that was freaking sick asf

[heavy heron]

fascinating

[potent tree]

what do i sell (i'm thinking hallucination and maybe supernova)

[pale wolf]

there is a minor arcana mod

I'm not sure if the person finished it or not but it was a cool idea

[vale wharf]

Huh, cool Balatro fanart

[heavy heron]

LOL BRO

[fallow fog]

mb, actl is actually

[heavy heron]

in case you’re being serious, it’s not fan art

if you’re joking, omg you’re right 🤪

[vale wharf]

50% DSW

[vale wharf]

Ik ik lol

[brave fox]

Id try the mods but I have no idea how to putem on my phone

[heavy heron]

they look pretty awesome

[pale wolf]

you cant lol

[fallow fog]

Are there any other famous cards that thunk could possibly add to the update

[potent tree]

not a bad run to start the save. holo got to x6

[brave fox]

Sad days

[quick flare]

oh there it is

[heavy heron]

“However, the expression on his face traditionally suggests that he is there by his own accord, and the card is meant to represent self-sacrifice more so than it does corporal punishment or criminality.”

that’s so funny

it implies the cards we kill

the cards are sacrificing themselves voluntarily

for a greater cause (a smaller deck in this case)

[pale wolf]

i bet we'll see chaos theory sprite get used for a joker finally

[fallow fog]

sounds good to me

[fallow fog]

maybe something related to the 12 constellations

[pale wolf]

there's no way there's going to be another consumable type

[faint linden]

When your Xbox Game Pass expires so you play on your gf's account

[fallow fog]

prolly something cool u cld do to them

love diluting my shop

[brave fox]

What would another one even be?

[potent tree]

well i gotta stop playing for now, i have online class

[fallow fog]

i have no idea

[vale wharf]

Whoaaa, what's this?

[fallow fog]

play during class

[heavy heron]

who else thought strength was like, some kind of animal looking upward

rather than a human with an animal

[fallow fog]

i thought it was a centaur

[potent tree]

if i do that my parents are gonna reduce my handsize to 0

[faint linden]

I thought it was that "Thinking Man" sculpture

[faint linden]

Worst debuff

[pale wolf]

unused sprite drawn by lumpytouch, artist for vagabond as well

[fallow fog]

shucks

[heavy heron]

there should really be an option for strength to make a card go down a rank, too

[brave fox]

The parents lmao sounds like a fucked up boss blind

[pale wolf]

besides vagabond and the font used ingame, all visual art in the game was made by thunk

[vale wharf]

Huh, I thought localthunk made everything

[faint linden]

Sixth Finisher?

[fallow fog]

i mean u cld use 11 strengths

[heavy heron]

which is RIDICULOUS

[dreamy creek]

he didn't make the programming language made to code balatro 💀

[fallow fog]

js flush it

[heavy heron]

like if i’m going 5s and i find a red seal polychrome 6, i gotta get 11 strengths

that’s crazy

[heady narwhal]

no there shouldn't

[heavy heron]

you’re right

[heady narwhal]

asymmetry is a good thing

[fallow fog]

should have new consumables that let u edit cards slightly maybe

like transfer seals to another card

[heady narwhal]

imagine if all of the gem jokers were +50 chips

[heavy heron]

interesting

[fallow fog]

or edition swap

[pale wolf]

i still think https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1422170313998864508 is a really really cool idea

[trail pier]

:(

[vale wharf]

He made us, you and I, he made the trees, the birds, the creatures big and small, the oceans and sky, the stars and other cosmic entities...

[fallow fog]

facts

[heavy heron]

that’s actually really cool

reverse empress: sell a consumable, produce 3 negatives of it

that sounds

strong

but i guess thats why they’re so rare

[fallow fog]

budget perkeo?

[jovial tapir]

NOO first time in ages I couldn’t get a new joker gold stake had to keep playing cause I am now matched with highest win streak from myself

[pale wolf]

rip

could always be worse

[heady narwhal]

the existence of strength but no reverse has some interesting consequences. encourages building certain ranks based on deck composition (if i have 2 fives i might not want to build 3oak 6s) and makes for interesting decisions with e.g. fibonacci imo

[lunar zealot]

makes weebo and cloud 9 even stronger than they already are btw

[jovial tapir]

Btw idk how my highest win streak is only 3

[heady narwhal]

you need inconvenient mechanics for a game to be interesting i think

[jovial tapir]

Like that’s so low but I also never play white stake

[lunar zealot]

imagine being able to have 12 9s

[pale wolf]

i think it should be a smaller chance for whatever "weakness" appears as or maybe a joker effect

[fallow fog]

money

[pale wolf]

Ive had a halfbaked idea for a joker that "reverses" scaling and stuff for a while

[jovial tapir]

Imagine 12 2s

[lunar zealot]

imagine 6 7s

[jovial tapir]

Weebenachi is going crazy

[heady narwhal]

this would be a really boring spectral and adding new consumable types would wreck the game's balance

[fallow fog]

no.

[lunar zealot]

okay here's a totally original spectral ides

[heavy heron]

i think so too, but it also sometimes creates a situation where your ability to play creatively is forced to be highly inflexible; as if that isn’t the situation enough already (pairs are the only consistent hand type for winning)

[lunar zealot]

what if we made a spevctral that cobverts all cards in hsnd to the same rank

[pale wolf]

i mean, it would just be a rare version of strength

maybe like an edition

[lunar zealot]

but gives -1 hand size kn use

[jovial tapir]

I swear also like why is there not a single joker that has a synergy with 7s like every other card has one outside of smiley odd and Steven

[lunar zealot]

tidd

todd

[jovial tapir]

Outside of smiley odd and Steven I said

[heady narwhal]

if you have too much freedom you can just force whatever build you want which makes the game stale after a few runs. being forced to do something different makes for the most interesting runs

[heady narwhal]

when i'm not playing pairs balatro in its current state is very good at this

[pale wolf]

seeing double was initially the 7s joker, as shown by its unlock

[fallow fog]

defo need a card that has something to do with triple seven

[heavy heron]

i don’t think anybody is asking for too much freedom, i mean, merely asking for strengths to allow deranking doesn’t just solve the game for you, it just allows you to make more use of it

[jovial tapir]

Yeah but it ain’t no more

[pale wolf]

it was 2x on scored 7 of clubs I think
prob removed because that idea sucks

[heavy heron]

99% of the time, you’re going 4oak or smth similar and a strength is only used once or twice because the rank RIGHT below it is a free 2 copies of that rank

and then you never touch strength again

that sounds pretty inflexible usage to me

[jovial tapir]

True but I mean there is this thing called lucky seven so just make something with luckies and 7s

[heady narwhal]

being able to play your preferred rank twice as often does give you more freedom

[pale wolf]

I think it is too close in relation to slot machines and gambling

[heavy heron]

i guess so

[pale wolf]

because it's too obvious of a reference to not include unless there was a reason

[heavy heron]

that’s the point of a tarot, after all

[fallow fog]

we are using poker cards

[pale wolf]

we're using playing cards

lol

Poker uses playing cards

[fallow fog]

lawyer blah blah HAHAH

[heavy heron]

tarots are typically meant to give you said freedom over and over with every usage; you will ALWAYS use hermit, ALWAYS take a death (a lot of cases), ALWAYS take a fool, ALWAYS take a hanged man

[lunar zealot]

also red cards and credit cards and baseball cards and gift cards

and tarot cards

[heavy heron]

but strength? nah i already strengthed the rank prior to the rank im going for, and got 2 free copies of said rank already— can use it once more at most

maybe once more, that’s it

[pale wolf]

and sharp cards

[lunar zealot]

whoozawhutsit

[jovial tapir]

Yeah but I often also just skip packs (even without red card) I also think even tho it’s more in pvp but use of suit changers and lovers being big

I honestly think tarots are very balanced and well made and he shouldn’t touch them

[fallow fog]

one very niche trading card

[heavy heron]

i guess so

[fallow fog]

it keeps tearing my other cards tho

[fallow fog]

agreed ig

[jovial tapir]

And there is no way some tarots will be picked more then others without making either everything busted or useless

[heavy heron]

i made a typo btw

[pale wolf]

if you want to not have to skip arcana packs then make fool let you choose 1 of your last 3 used tarots instead

[heavy heron]

fixed it

i contradicted my whole point w that typo

LOOLLL

[pale wolf]

this is a stupid idea btw

[jovial tapir]

That’s fucking busted

[heavy heron]

i said strengths are an always-take, then followed it up with how inflexible they are

whoops

pov balatro estrogen strength gif

i wish i could send it

[heady narwhal]

it's like my 8th most used tarot card of 22 so i can't complain too much about it

[twin lantern]

balatro

[heady narwhal]

empress should convert up to 4 cards

[jovial tapir]

Btw am I the only one when I started playing Balatro tought that tenperance was a worse hermit

[heady narwhal]

(joke)

[lost flax]

Just got Completionist++, I'm buzzing

[heady narwhal]

that is what it is

[jovial tapir]

Gratis

Gratz

[twin lantern]

bueno

[jovial tapir]

It’s not tho last run I got saved by pulling temp foul cause of eternal poly egg

[lost flax]

Last run was so close though, I thought all through ante 8 it was a fail when Violet Vessel came up

I got so lucky in that ante with the space jokers though

[heady narwhal]

most of the time it's less than $20. i don't think i've seen any "most used tarots" graph with temperance above hermit

it does have a higher ceiling though

[jovial tapir]

Hoe is bro in generational debt

[lost flax]

Had a lot of rentals

Once Hiker (my last to gold sticker) came up, I focused on getting uncommons for baseball at any cost

[fallow fog]

pray for the ox🤣🤣

[twin lantern]

hoe is bro

ok yoda

[jovial tapir]

Yeah Dutch autocorrect

Hoe —> how

[pale wolf]

theres 1 big reason why temperance is worse than hermit

[ocean yoke]

Me

[twin lantern]

TAHITI🗣️ 🐎 🤠

[pale wolf]

vagabond benefits more from hermit after cashout :)

[jovial tapir]

Explanation a rare joker

[quick flare]

🪴

[twin lantern]

oof

[magic tree]

Ironic lol

[ocean yoke]

Four of a kind aces may do the trick

[jovial tapir]

Not true tho cause if u have egg or have or had gift thingy

[pale wolf]

why is 🪴 so detailed woah

[twin lantern]

yeah?

[quick flare]

best I can do is debuffed five of a kind polychrome glass kings

[pale wolf]

that doesnt make vagabond benefit more

[solid echo]

guys please help do i take dna

[quick flare]

I swear it wasnt before

[magic tree]

I've seen it on Reddit, made me laugh, I don't necessarily agree

[twin lantern]

did you see this

[pale wolf]

thats way too much for an emoji

[magic tree]

Lol no

[twin lantern]

whatever liberal

[pale wolf]

epic seal time?

boy, time to nerf blue seal

[brisk bluff]

I didnt know erosion started at 40 cards for abandoned deck thats crazy

[brisk bluff]

What? 😭

[harsh elk]

WHen I'm in a good joker competition and my opponent is Squarebob Jokerpants

[pale wolf]

it's real and vanilla

[brisk bluff]

How

[fallow fog]

maybe one of the challenges

[unreal island]

Challenge deck prob

[brisk bluff]

Ye thats what I was thinking

[heavy heron]

GUYS I— ITS ANTE 1 ROUND 1

DO IT DO IT LOOLLL

THE MIME.. i mean like cmon…

brodjsfydiduc

ok i’m doing it

don’t plant me don’t kill me

[brisk bluff]

Reroll for brainstorm

Wyd

[fallow fog]

focus jupiter i dare u

[heavy heron]

bro

[fallow fog]

ik u want to

[uncut matrix]

your deck is not fixed to support this decision

you can but

[brisk bluff]

No I saw his next round draw

[uncut matrix]

i wouldnt have taken baron this early

[brisk bluff]

He draws 4 kings

[heavy heron]

ok i died

[brisk bluff]

1st hand

[heavy heron]

wooooo

bottom decked 4 kings

[uncut matrix]

yea

[heavy heron]

well obviously it’s ante 1

[fallow fog]

aww

should’ve bought jupiter

[quaint stag]

gold stake balatro is like being beaten with a bat

[fringe warren]

Made this when I saw the first image and it remains true

[heavy heron]

LOOOLDKFHDOFJFHF

EXCUSE ME

yeah fr

i’m ngl i had a chance

if i didn’t bottom deck 4 of 6 kings in 19 cards

[brisk bluff]

Shouldve rerolled for brainstorm

[atomic trout]

I wasn't sure how this works...

[fringe warren]

Definitely burglar over rebate

[atomic trout]

Sweet

[quaint stag]

for anyone thats gotten gold stake on every deck am i right to say black deck is the worst deck for gold stake or no

[uncut matrix]

yes

[silent quiver]

Id agree

[fringe warren]

Worst deck for basically everything

[uncut matrix]

the -1 hand is detrimental and you cant even benefit from 6 joker slots until way late

[quaint stag]

im ngl idk if it's beaten out by anything but black deck is the worst imo

[heavy heron]

k today is just not my day

[quaint stag]

no econ and dying within the first 4 antes merchant

[heavy heron]

how does this ALWAYS happen with straights

i only have one card left that there’s 4 of left in deck

and it’s the one card i need

[vestal hearth]

This text on the Steam page for Balatro is just wrong lmao

[fallow fog]

luck is a skill ig

[keen swan]

I'm wondering if the demos are archived already since I try to get a demo but I was 2 years too late or 4 years too late

[quaint stag]

in like 10 of the gold stake runs i've played recently despite opening every arcana pack not once have i gotten a death card

how tf am i supposed to deck fix if i'm never seeing death and seeing hanged once a blue moon

[vestal hearth]

Also, Ceremonial Dagger is the wrong color, and the Joker on the left doesn't even exist

[pale wolf]

i think 5oak used to not be a hand? idk

[uncut matrix]

yea theres a lot of stuff on the steam ad that doesnt exist

like the polychrome(?) deck

oh they updated the video

[pale wolf]

yea the 4oak jokers got turned to 2pair jokers, thats mad i think

[vestal hearth]

Idk where this comes from because if you only count Editions it's 4, but if you also count stickers it's 7/8 (depending on if you count Pinned)

I guess it's counting base edition maybe?

[uncut matrix]

pinned?

[vestal hearth]

Not really a variant but idk

[pale wolf]

def editions

[vestal hearth]

It has no texture, it's only used for the "On a Knife's Edge" challenge to keep the Ceremonial Dagger on the left

[uncut matrix]

oh

[pale wolf]

wut

oh true

[fervent wolf]

How dare they miscolor me

[keen swan]

Does anyone have Balatro demos or a way to get them to try?

[heady narwhal]

could be base, foil, holographic, polychrome, negative
or it could be eternal, perishable, rental, eternal rental, perishable rental

[crystal field]

in the collection there are 5 editions including base edition

[neon mural]

it means editions, Base, Holo, Foil, Poly, Negative

[heady narwhal]

that's mad joker

[vestal hearth]

Base edition is hardly a variant imo, but sure

[neon mural]

its the base variant

[gusty magnet]

8th gold stake yay

[vestal hearth]

Not quite, it has four 1s on the bottom

[crystal field]

it is a variant tho. its the variant with no added effect

[heady narwhal]

it was reworked in 1.0.1 from 4oak to 2pair

[fallow fog]

good job

[gusty magnet]

looks inside : photochad

its always photochad

[vestal hearth]

I know, that means the steam page no longer matches the game

[heady narwhal]

so tjis is the old art for the old version of mad joker

[gusty magnet]

i found dice with hallucination

[fallow fog]

a win is a win

[gusty magnet]

wanted to go for bloodstone

then found a photo and chad immediately

[pale wolf]

i said that

[neon mural]

I just had this nice run, demolished Violet Vessel to get gold stickers on Mime, Satellite, and To The Moon

[pale wolf]

I was just ignored

[heady narwhal]

thought 5oak was the first one to be added

[pale wolf]

idk lol

it seems like playstack just hallucinates numbers occasionally

[heady narwhal]

if anything i would guess flouse was last

[pale wolf]

I'd guess it's just a mistake rather than any earlier version of the game

[unreal island]

Chat i just got my yt music "spotify" wrapped

[proper turtle]

the pivot was successful

[pale wolf]

wheres balatro

[heady narwhal]

casiopea!!

[unreal island]

Yes 🥰

True Blue is soo good

[heady narwhal]

i don't think i've heard that one actually

[unreal island]

They released it a few months ago i think

[fallow fog]

dont mind me asking, but how many pivots were there?

[gusty magnet]

you cant be serious

ALL ROADS LEAD TO PHOTOCHAD AAAHHH

[slate lance]

Wtf is 186/300

[pale wolf]

mine is literally bugged and i dont get to see any of the slides

how does that even happen

[fallow fog]

run it back

[proper turtle]

from straights to high card if that is what you meant...

[pale wolf]

you dont have chad??

[gusty magnet]

yea not yet

[pale wolf]

photo isnt good

[gusty magnet]

its gonna appear

[pale wolf]

😭

[gusty magnet]

i know it will

[fallow fog]

ah makes sense, at least runner still gives chips

[gusty magnet]

it always does

IT ALWAYS DOES

[pale wolf]

because you speculatively take photo for whatever reason

[fallow fog]

make it 814

wait no this is in rounds

[unreal island]

Second file :3

[proper turtle]

yea

[fallow fog]

818?

[pale wolf]

808 with the boom boom

[slate lance]

So like a 2nd c++?

[pale wolf]

yea but what js 300

[heavy heron]

everybody thinks it’s speculative until i take a wrathful and play a flush with 1 face card at the end🙄

i’m ngl photo works good with card scoring

[pale wolf]

great long term gameplan

lul

[heavy heron]

like a good ol’ fib

[heavy heron]

it is, my boy jupiters got me

[slate lance]

No >:[

Photo bad

Bad photo!

[heavy heron]

HMMM…

i mean obviously you don’t win a run with just a wrathful and photo

obv you find other jokers throughout your run

and it doesn’t HAVE to be a chad

[fallow fog]

obv u js use juptier

[heavy heron]

see you get it

LOOLLL

[unreal island]

Yus

[unreal island]

300 jonklers

[fallow fog]

i cant keep this joke going

[unreal island]

150 from the first

150 from the second

[heavy heron]

i guess the joke is going flushed down the toilet

get it

flushed

[fallow fog]

😳

[unreal island]

🫃

Me with constant patience

[proper turtle]

I don't like green deck, its the only one alongside black I haven't beaten blue stake on

[heavy heron]

green deck is basically the first deck i started playing this game with for an indefinite period of time

it was very hard stopping…

[slate lance]

God damn 😭 im only at 63 rn 💔

[unreal island]

It took me months to get c++

Dw ab ur progress

[pale wolf]

oh

[gusty magnet]

do i get trading card here

[heavy heron]

don’t worry, in this server it’s embarrassing to have c++

[gusty magnet]

and if so what do i replace

[pale wolf]

That's totally not confusing at all

[heavy heron]

like me, i’m embarrassing

[fallow fog]

currently ive been trying to get c++ playing black deck only

i wan to kms

[gusty magnet]

koh that should count as self hjarm bruh WHY

[heavy heron]

i mean seltzer won’t last you much longer if you’re needing it to survive so i think it’s time seltzer is gone

[gusty magnet]

WHY woulod you put yourseklf through that

[slate lance]

Fair

[fallow fog]

how much left on the seltz

[slate lance]

Rn im just truingto get a good negative run on anaglyph

[gusty magnet]

6 hands

[heavy heron]

unless you just die without it

[gusty magnet]

i dont

i dont think so

[slate lance]

I had it once where i yot negative skip but.it was big blind ante 8

[pale wolf]

c++ is an achievement on steam (orwhateverplatform), not irl

[heavy heron]

then yea! seltzer! it will disappear eventually anyway

[fallow fog]

im at 110 cant turn back now

[slate lance]

Im a trophy hunter tho so i need it

[fallow fog]

i got bored

[pale wolf]

I mean three out of my 45 gold wins during c++ were on black

[fallow fog]

the one extra trigger shouldnt be to much diff

[heavy heron]

wow balatro is such a good education game we learn c++

people usually need to go to school to learn that

[unreal iron]

yummy

[brittle tendon]

Trying to get it on playstation atm, great refresher for my websites assignment where I write about balatro

[heavy heron]

the language

the coding language

[pale wolf]

I mean I'm not in the field but I feel like most people do not learn programming in school? am i crazy

[slate lance]

Yeah but it also takes away one the skills u learnt in school, reading

[heavy heron]

YOU’RE SO RIGHT

[fallow fog]

i mean

[heavy heron]

guys why is the boss killing me i don’t get it it’s only showing me words and letters

[fallow fog]

uve alr memorised what every card does

[slate lance]

Lmao 😭

[foggy isle]

What do I do here

[fallow fog]

so memorising for tests that kind of stuff

[unreal iron]

sell sock?

[slate lance]

Thats easy tho

[fallow fog]

how many kings u have

[fading dome]

We definitely had a small amount of it in our IT classes, which were mandatory

[foggy isle]

Really

[foggy isle]

30ish?

[heavy heron]

oh then i don’t know

[brittle tendon]

If I was told the name of a card or the effect of a card, I could get the other within a second

[heavy heron]

i thought you did

[foggy isle]

I wa thinking of dna

[unreal iron]

dawg i got no idea on what your deck looks like

[fallow fog]

u going for baron mime?

or js wna win

[unreal iron]

he already won

its ante 11

[heavy heron]

woah woah why are you trying to see other people’s deck?

[unreal iron]

10

[fallow fog]

lmao i didnt notice

[pale wolf]

idk i learned from a book

[heavy heron]

just because it’s big don’t mean you can see it

[fallow fog]

soo

[pale wolf]

and havent done anything related in like 10years

[fallow fog]

if cat isnt too big ill get rid of her then slowly work towards baron mime

[pale wolf]

I never actually considered where people got their start in coding

[fading dome]

It'll probably depend on your school since I doubt it's something most governments would regulate

[pale wolf]

when we say school are we talking college or

[heavy heron]

college yes

ain’t no hs teaching c++

[shell dagger]

85% of the kids in my high school stop doing any IT after the age of 13

[pale wolf]

my hs had a programming class actually but the people in it mostly already knew a bit

[shell dagger]

and before then it’s just scratch and stuff

[pale wolf]

it was the sort of class that you got encouraged to go to if you already had applicable skills

[fading dome]

I mean yeah, scratch counts as introduction to programming I think

[magic vessel]

I must consult the church

[pale wolf]

ooooh scratch

[shell dagger]

fair

[pale wolf]

hmmmmm yea actually we did have scratch in our typing and computer classes

[magic vessel]

I have 139/150 jokers, but I only have 10 locked jokers left, and every page has a filled and bought joker, or a locked joker, whats the ONE MISSING ONE???

[heavy heron]

what’s school

i play balatro

is that a school

i should attend balatro university

[slate lance]

Ur closer to c++ than completionist!?

[heavy heron]

what’s the tuition

[slate lance]

😭

[heavy heron]

that’s pretty impressive

[pale wolf]

no I don't think so

[magic vessel]

wouldnt that be C+

[pale wolf]

lol

[shell dagger]

1 investment tag per semester

[magic vessel]

C++ is stamps no?

[slate lance]

Yea

[fading dome]

I assumed they meant discoveries? idk though

[pale wolf]

they are just saying 150 Jokers total

[heavy heron]

ONLY $25????

[slate lance]

Ohhh

[heavy heron]

CHEAP AHH SCHOOL

[slate lance]

I thought it was 139 jokers stickered

[shell dagger]

uni is free for me :3

[heavy heron]

me too

financial aid mmm tasty

[fading dome]

Lucky

[magic vessel]

basically it says im missing 11 jokers, but in my collection i only see 10 locked jokers, and everything else is bought and unlocked

[shell dagger]

it’s free for everyone in scotland

[heavy heron]

financial aid is like taking an investment tag but you got like 5000 double tags first

maybe not 5000

but it’s up there

[fading dome]

The only thing I can think of is that there's a joker you haven't obtained yet?

[magic vessel]

just found it

it was stone joker

[slate lance]

Could u like record a video of ur collection

[fading dome]

stone joker my behated

[pale wolf]

😑

[slate lance]

Ah o

Ok

[pale wolf]

stone joker should get you high instead

[magic vessel]

havent bought it yet

[slate lance]

Stone joker is good guys :[

I love stone joker

Amazing chips

[fading dome]

understandable, because who would buy stone joker

[pale wolf]

oh boy chips for my chips

[slate lance]

Plasma:
Mult jokers:

[magic vessel]

a joker thats good on one deck isnt that great

[pale wolf]

my points that if ur stone joker is high, youll tend to have lots of chips in hand

[magic vessel]

[pale wolf]

stone j isnt even that good on plasma

[magic vessel]

it is for ante 8

but not endless

[pale wolf]

not really

[shell dagger]

it’s decent just inconsistent

[fading dome]

plasma deck and that one challenge with stone cards (medusa?) are probably the only situations where stone jokers can reasonably be taken

[magic vessel]

I have pair-maxed with stone cards, but not the stonejoker

[slate lance]

I had a good stone joker in another run

[pale wolf]

like its a chips joker so its possible but its still below its kin

[slate lance]

That wasnt on either

[gusty magnet]

this road didnt lead to photochad it would appear

[heavy heron]

but it’s a winning road nonetheless

[pale wolf]

thats a big erosion

[slate lance]

Ersouin 🤤

[gusty magnet]

yes

[brisk bluff]

Whats the easiest deck

[fading dome]

I mean if you have a marble joker blueprint hologram you can obviously shove it in. I'm still just not sure it's even better than others jokers

[slate lance]

Yellow

[pale wolf]

blue or yellow or checkered for noobs

[heavy heron]

maybe abandoned or checkered

[prime pagoda]

Hello guys i have a problem with the achivement on steam Completionist +, can someone help me with it? I've done it, just now, erratic deck gold stake, stats 120 wins and i have done all the other achivements besides the ++, did this happen to anyone else and does anyone know how to solve it ?

[pale wolf]

victory lap bug, complete a run on any stake

[gusty magnet]

not my biggest erosion but its big nonetheless

[fading dome]

Win one more run, any deck any stake and you'll get the achievement

[heavy heron]

you mean you got all gold stake wins on all decks?

just do one more win

any stake

and it’ll work

[prime pagoda]

Thanks going to try that out, i report in some minutes, brb

[slate lance]

Local has to fix that

[pale wolf]

I'm sure it's already fixed months ago in whatever build he's working on

because it's a pretty simple fix

[heavy heron]

yellow is probably the best deck in the game

[slate lance]

Playstation records when u get ur achievements and now its on some random white stake rather than my final gold

💔

[heavy heron]

for gold stake

[heavy heron]

YEAH THAT SUCKS SO BAD

i would’ve just saved the 15 min clip

[pale wolf]

honestly I think it would be cool if it was implemented as a feature instead of being removed as a bug

[slate lance]

I didnt recordd 😭

[pale wolf]

but it's probably unnecessary

[heavy heron]

DAMN..

[prime pagoda]

here it is btw

[heavy heron]

me neither i think

[fading dome]

I am saddened that there are some pretty egregious bugs that aren't fixed yet because no new update

[slate lance]

I usually dont take screenies in balatro on ps

[final garden]

i dont think i need blueprint boss here is cerulean bell and im playing high card but what should i sub out for it?

[slate lance]

Only in beautiful games

As in visually

[heavy heron]

i mean… if you’re going high card, you don’t need seeing double

it’ll never work

[final garden]

do you not see the splash

[fading dome]

Blueprint is always better than seeing double right?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

unless they fail at triggering Blackboard

[heavy heron]

oh right.. that’s a joker that exists

okay well again stilll it’s seeing double

if you have blackboard online

copy blackboard

3x3 =9x

vs your 3x2=6x

[pale wolf]

which shouldn't happen

[fading dome]

depending on their build they can still copy red card and get close to seeing double's x2

but yeah I'm not expecting them to fail blackboard in most hands

[final garden]

i dont fail at blackboard

i also have 10 handsize

[heavy heron]

jesus christ i forgot splash exists wtf

splash and seeing double that’s a new one

[pale wolf]

I mean they have red card and acrobat and foil
you could probably sell blackboard seeing double AND blueprint and win

[final garden]

might just sell the black board so that i could get a sticker on seeing double red card is at 48

[pale wolf]

purple sticker??

[fading dome]

it's not gold stake though, doesn't reallyyy matter

[final garden]

fair enough i just think it looks pretty

[pale wolf]

c+++ is every stake sticker sequentially

[final garden]

that would be funny but also painful

[potent tree]

impossible

[pale wolf]

no just like 10-15x as long

[fading dome]

Let me introduce you to Seeing Double + Smeared Joker high card build

[potent tree]

oh wait stake sticker thought you meant joker stickers lmao

[pale wolf]

yes

on each joker

[gusty magnet]

very funny beginning

[potent tree]

OH.

[pale wolf]

no red sticker until you white sticker the joker

[gusty magnet]

first shop holo egg + ankh

[final garden]

you get swashbuckler that is a free win

[gusty magnet]

true

[pale stag]

3 for 1 special for completionist++
rerolled violet vessel out of habit/fear but my best hand was 1.7mil so 🤷

ghost deck my beloved

[pale wolf]

orange and gold stake are so hard to differentiate

[final garden]

madness gaming

love doing this with madness

cant wait to do it with stencil

[gusty magnet]

welp i lost cuz i kept bottom deckling my jacks

fuck

[final garden]

oof

[pale wolf]

bottom deckling your jackals

[gusty magnet]

bottom decking my jacks 😭

[pale wolf]

decline

[civic stone]

Quick question

When balatro university reroll for a specific negative joker on first shop does he use brainstorm mod

[final garden]

depends

[obsidian patrol]

I dont think so

If its not legendary

[final garden]

ik sometimes he will manually restart until he gets it

but ik hes used the brainstorm mod as well

[heavy heron]

fire

[solid osprey]

very funny me

[pale wolf]

the bottoms of the wings are impossible

idk what to do

[final garden]

lmao

[obsidian patrol]

Oh my fucking god

[pale wolf]

I believe he pretty much always uses the brainstorm mod now, it was made specifically after somebody watched him reset for perkatory iirc

[obsidian patrol]

THATS WHAT THE JUDGMENT TAROT IS???

I TBOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FUCKED UP STATUE

[unreal iron]

i thought judgement is very obviously an angel

[latent egret]

you gotta try to extrapolate the shape, but idk how that is feasible besides asking thunk for a version without clouds that could exist or not

[unreal iron]

with a flute? trumpet?

[pale wolf]

for the longest time I didn't even recognize any figure in judgment, I kind of thought it was a beam of light shining down from God to smite someone

[civic stone]

I calculated that it would take +160 hours of rerolling to get negative brainstorm or blueprint on first shop
So I was like 'there's no way he does this every time'

[honest dawn]

Mimo, I love you

[pale wolf]

if you watch his earlier records he usually mentions how long he was resetting for, I think on individual Joker records he also just resets for the Joker but not for stuff like that

[buoyant ridge]

should i cheat my last remaining gold stickers ?

[pale wolf]

no lol

[latent egret]

not every time but he often said that he just rerolls to find fun records to try

[unreal iron]

no why

do it with honour

[latent egret]

like he does not reroll exactly for a nat neg spaceman but for any negatives that could be used in a record

[unreal iron]

whats your last few anyways

[buoyant ridge]

because i cant beat plasma gold with them

[unreal iron]

dont play plasma gold then?

[pale wolf]

It's a lost cause

[buoyant ridge]

ghost deck if a want a quick finish ?

[unreal iron]

okay wait

whats your last jokers

[latent egret]

yu dont want to finish too quickly

[unreal iron]

genuine question

[pale wolf]

literally anything else except black

is better

[unreal iron]

avoid plasma and black like the plague

[civic stone]

Have yall ever gotten a Natural negative blueprint or brainstorm

[latent egret]

yes, shop 1 so could not buy it

with another nat neg too lol

[round crypt]

Big haul for c++ and I finally have access to every legendary again

First time I’ve ever gotten glass to work

[pale wolf]

I like this

[latent egret]

its great

maybe just add some of the dots it has on the wings

to the new parts

[pale wolf]

i think it needs a special touch

[buoyant ridge]

im cooked

[potent meadow]

quite literally my best run

[latent egret]

why do we have a 52 card deck ante 9

[potent meadow]

…

we just run it 🙂‍↕️

[prime pagoda]

Done, Completionist + got it after winning another run on red deck gold stake

[pale wolf]

nice

it didnt have to be gold btw

[prime pagoda]

working on ++ already 😄

[pale wolf]

nice

[prime pagoda]

but yeah kind of anti climatic havving to do another run after finishing all the decks

should be patched, i got scared when i didnt receive anything

[pale wolf]

yea agreed i had forgotten to, did it on the other vers

[pale wolf]

it feels right

[white zodiac]

a short sleeve line indicator would be nice

[pale wolf]

i tried it and kinda didnt like it

but lemme do it lighter

[silent quiver]

I was waiting for it to start playing trumpet sounds

[white zodiac]

have it play timmy trumpet

[heavy heron]

@fallow fog

[brisk mango]

Does the Stake win thing on a Joker do anything

[heavy heron]

nope!

just a little reminder for you

[brisk mango]

Oh

[heavy heron]

so you can keep track of what you’ve won with

(for completionist ++ achievement)

[pale wolf]

cuz like, the original doesnt have it

[white zodiac]

the original judgement is more detailed

[pale wolf]

as in the game version, not the irl one

[distant vault]

Hexing matador paid off

[brisk mango]

Also can I say Wheel Of Fortune sucks

[pale wolf]

its ok

[distant vault]

Yes

[white zodiac]

12 chip tarot estimated value

[pale wolf]

on average it gives you 12 chips, 1 mult, and 1.05x

[viral rampart]

flush five :3

[pale wolf]

thats better than burnt joker!!

[latent egret]

we need to stop these dna andys

[brisk mango]

500 kings

[latent egret]

you dont need 50 kings to play 5

its better to thin your deck than add more cards

sorry if i speak like a tight ass which i am, but ive had too many discussions with dna andys

[distant vault]

Nah go 100 kings

[white zodiac]

oh

[distant vault]

Time to copy credit card

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[thorny axle]

i might have to take the zany joker 😭

(for reference, i barely beat the big blind, and the boss is the fucking flint)

[tame sluice]

O I thought ur at sb

I guess u HAVE to take zany

[north spindle]

idt the difference between targeted card addition and removal is really that big
like dna is weakish more because of its trigger condition than because duplicating cards is bad imo

[distant vault]

Wheel hitting

[thorny axle]

ooh shiny

[cosmic oak]

yeah, i always wonder if there's ever any reason to grab a lot of card packs because of the risk of bloating your deck

[thorny axle]

i died
fuck you The Flint you dont wash

[modest spade]

Hi Balatros and Baalatras

[north spindle]

generally i only grab sealed cards (or a specific suit/rank if i care abt that)

blue and purple are extremely often worthwhile, particularly if you dont have one

if im playing pairs then i also like gold seal

[heavy heron]

guys my chad just sold itself what happened that’s so weird

[cosmic oak]

ah that's true, i rarely have seals in my deck and i should try to get more

[distant vault]

Easy run

[north spindle]

sometimes ill grab certain enhancements too

[civic stone]

Me want perkeoless ante 39

[north spindle]

though in general seals are the thing

[distant vault]

Even more shiny

Poly skip

[north spindle]

its so weird to me that magic trick exists since it doesnt make cards with seals appear which is like 80% of the value of standard packs

[distant vault]

Gift card runs hit different

$50 temperance 🙏

[heavy heron]

@fallow fog i will always be flushmaxxing

honestly i always thought

loyalty card was bad

but now i realize like

if you’re scoring enough to get by small blind but not enough for boss (and it’s ante 8)

you can prepare loyalty card in small blind

skip

go to boss

and 4x the boss

[cosmic oak]

the voucher that spawns cards in the shop?

[north spindle]

i mean
its still bad imo
just not like unusable bad

[north spindle]

yes

[heavy heron]

loyalty card for consistent winning throughout the run is bad

but like

if you’re ante 7 or 8

you got some one-time usage things to help you survive without loyalty? (glass)

then skip to boss once it’s ready?

i mean

it’s active every other round basically

[north spindle]

i mean it feels like a more awkward mr bones if u use it like that

[heavy heron]

you could use that somehow

[heavy heron]

maybe

[heavy heron]

like here i skipped big blind

knowing loyalty card wouldn’t be ready if i played big blind

[north spindle]

i mean it does something for sure

to use it for boss defence you're sacrificing control over how many hands you play (and if you can't control your score to go out when you need to that is also a problem)

[heavy heron]

i knew loyalty was in 3

[white zodiac]

and is still not a guarantee proc on crimson

[heavy heron]

so i skipped

[heavy heron]

true

[north spindle]

also it doesnt defend well against certain bosses anyways

not just chrimson but like
eye, needle, water are all kinda bad with it too

[thorny axle]

finally...
nines...

[north spindle]

and two of those are also two of the harder boss blinds

[heavy heron]

i don’t think that’s true honestly because if you know you’re going to 1 big hand to win, then you merely math it so you have 3-4 hands before loyalty happens (so you can use hands to dig if you must)

that’s why i saved 3 hands

in case i needed to dig for glass

or in this case

if i DIDNT find glass

i’d use 3 hands for flushes for decent score

then when loyalty ready

i either find glass by then, and win

or if i find glass right away, i just waste hands until loyalty hand

[north spindle]

i mean yeah having to do this is the lack of control

[heavy heron]

i suppose so

[north spindle]

like you cant maximize hands played to scale [whatever hand scaler] which is a very common subset of cards, most of which are strong

[pale wolf]

yea simply know deterministically what youll score next round

its that simple

[north spindle]

also thats another problem occasionally yeah

[heavy heron]

so you mean smaller hands?

like pairs?

if it’s pairs then you for sure play loyalty differently

i get what you mean yeah

like you can’t use the prior hands efficiently KNOWING you’re saving for loyalty

that makes sense

[north spindle]

i mean like
if you are timing loyalty card to activate at a certain time you are doing that instead of playing however many hands benefit your scaling

[heavy heron]

yes that makes sense

it’s different if you play 5 hands all with DECENT scoring, vs ONE BIG HAND you know is all you’ll need to win (straights, for example)

[white zodiac]

if a crit mechanic was introduced as a joker

[north spindle]

bloodstone

[pale wolf]

if you need loyalty card at a time where ur also worrying about scaling optimally you are uhh pretty dead

[white zodiac]

idk what that is

[north spindle]

yeah i mean this is sort of why i think its pretty weak

[potent tree]

the universally hated bloodstone.

[heavy heron]

loyalty sucks, it just isn’t as unusable as i thought

[silent quiver]

1 in 20 chance for 100 mult

[pale wolf]

its a lategame Mr Bones that requires a little bit of forethought

also reusable i guess

[north spindle]

i mean in practice its a worse less flexible mr bones mostly

[hidden lance]

accidentally pasted a twitter link into the seed and got a shop 1 blueprint

what the hell

[pale wolf]

with burglar sometimes its acrobat unless you overscore by accident and then mess up ur whole cycle

[cosmic oak]

isn't mr bones a one use item?

[pale wolf]

yes
