[manic talon]

if you have 4 hands and every hand does a hearts flush, the 1 in 2 and the average is going to be consistent

[white zodiac]

basically misprint consistency with 4 pairs

[silent quiver]

Id rather have a joker that doesnt need 4 flushes

[shell dagger]

5 card retrigger is more expected value than oops

[manic talon]

but you only need it to hit once

[shell dagger]

if my headnapkin maths is correct

[opal delta]

besides buying balatro I was also thinking of getting btd6

:p

[serene forge]

do perished uncommons trigger baseball card

[silent quiver]

Its exponential so the upside is higher yes i never said it wasnt good to have a retrigger its just not the same thing as oops

[white zodiac]

same can be said for larger hands with misprint

[white zodiac]

that one works well until you reach free play

[manic talon]

i mean misprint is a +mult so the argument doesnt exactly fit for big hands

[silent quiver]

U can have a retrigger and still wiff hard and lose ur run

[opal delta]

is there really any rewards after round 100

I never tried it

[silent quiver]

Its happened to me multiple times i lost a good win streak to bloodstone

[shell dagger]

there’s tiny risks involved with nearly every strategy, bloodstone just inherently has high risk

like cav can die

you might not draw a pair

doesn’t mean it will happen

[manic talon]

yea man, sure you can whiff, thats the game, but you succeed way more than you whiff, thats like saying you might not draw a pair yea

[silent quiver]

Cannot believe we comparing cavendish dying to bloodstone not hitting

[shell dagger]

im not comparing them directly

[white zodiac]

there’s a couple scenarios you could consider for some decks like early checkered, erratic, abandoned or sometimes painted

[shell dagger]

i literally said bloodstone inherently has higher risk

[low sorrel]

What if there was a joker that picked one joker each round and destroys it, adding that jokers ability to itself. But it could also destroy itself

[white zodiac]

some achievements you can obtain by going past round 100

[low sorrel]

I feel like that would actually be balanced

[hybrid tendon]

this run was barely making it until ante 6, good thing I kept pushing

[serene forge]

fake

[hybrid tendon]

and now we get to gold stake

[silent quiver]

My savior

[hybrid tendon]

still missing perkeo

[serene forge]

i wish i played my c++ on steam

so i could analyze the save file

[serene forge]

lmao

[silent quiver]

U gon get it next run trust

[opal delta]

maybe I should do that for pc

what about terraria

[sacred trench]

Next win

[hybrid tendon]

NO PERKEO

[shell dagger]

insta monkey every 100 rounds

(farming round 100 is quicker)

[opal delta]

whats an insta monkey

[vocal rose]

no

[sacred trench]

I kept the 5s, 4s, 3s and 2s because of the Plant

[white zodiac]

i don’t recommend terraria on mobile lol

[manic talon]

monkey unit you can just put in for free

[vocal rose]

it’s fun

but ass

[opal delta]

wait

isnt hard mode up to round 80

[shell dagger]

the controls are weird

[white zodiac]

some requirements that involve a shitload of rbe are better obtained in endless

[opal delta]

why am I talking about round 100

[shell dagger]

yeah

100 is the end of chimps

[white zodiac]

the controls are not it

[shell dagger]

which is the gamemode

the gold stake of btd6

[white zodiac]

round 100 chimps is essentially the ante 8 gs of balatro

yeah

[serene forge]

bitch what

[white zodiac]

why do you have this person on your feed

[shell dagger]

except the easiest map is easier than yellow deck and the hardest map is (was) harder than black deck

[serene forge]

I don't know

[signal frigate]

Why would there be?

That's around Ante 15 to 16 no?

[shell dagger]

btd

[sacred trench]

Should I take

[shell dagger]

and it would be ante 33

[signal frigate]

Wanna go for straights?

[signal frigate]

Oh, I'm far off

[sacred trench]

I mean it could be fun

[signal frigate]

There's no reward, only grind

[shell dagger]

just divide 100 by 3 gang

[sacred trench]

I did it last round

[signal frigate]

Yeah my brain ain't working

[white zodiac]

and also r200 on btd6 is easier to achieve in terms of variety compared to balatro

[sacred trench]

And it has been a very long time since I have taken that joker

[shell dagger]

and past 200 is just an rng fest + what ur computer can handle

[signal frigate]

Go ahead, its also foil

[opal delta]

does it really only start to lag after round 80 or 100

[signal frigate]

Saturn is one of the strongest planets anyways

[signal frigate]

It depends on your deck

But usually

Yeah

[shell dagger]

on my phone (4ywar old iPhone) it doesn’t lag at all until the mid 200s

[opal delta]

deck?

[shell dagger]

but I haven’t played freeplay in like 4 years either

[white zodiac]

same performance experience actually

[signal frigate]

Because at that point, if you're running Baron Mime, you're filling your deck with a quadrillion steel kings

[opal delta]

im

still asking about btd6

[signal frigate]

That's gonna take a toll on your Game

[signal frigate]

Oh.

Are we serious?

[white zodiac]

paragons kinda cripple your game performance more than the actual rounds you would get there with 4 years ago

[opal delta]

yes

[shell dagger]

yeah idt ive done a freeplay game with paragons

[signal frigate]

I guess I shouldn't complain about off topic stuff when I'm usually the one starting it.

[cyan apex]

LOOK HOW BIG MY WEE IS

[signal frigate]

Huge

[shell dagger]

99% of my gameplay in the last year is moaning at chimps games

[white zodiac]

dart paragon munches on your battery life for breakfast

[signal frigate]

I've never played BTD ngl

[shell dagger]

yum yum

[signal frigate]

I probably should've

[cyan apex]

Anyways guys, this is final ante

[signal frigate]

I was only watching frens

[white zodiac]

it’s fun when you’re new into the game

well

[signal frigate]

Pretty much any game

Balatro was crack cocaine when I started

Still is

[white zodiac]

i grew up with it along with most ppl my age or older since it’s what you play on cool math games during the computer lab once you’re done with your tests you take online

[shell dagger]

lol ur in th tierlist server

[white zodiac]

oh yeah

[signal frigate]

Yeah, I did too, the difference is, I was only watching

[white zodiac]

gotta stay hip

[shell dagger]

little do the masses know

[signal frigate]

I watched my friends play it on their computers

[shell dagger]

that the last 8 versions of the tierlist have been partially goverened by a cheater

[signal frigate]

I was the little kid that stands in the back, watching

So, I KNOW how it works

I just haven't played it

[opal delta]

btw this is just thinking about what paid games I should get on my phone

[cyan apex]

Final size of my wee

[serene forge]

i know my friend has a horrific experience with the btd6 communit

y

[shell dagger]

who is it

might know them

[white zodiac]

coming from the guy that actually plays on the computer, i can say to you that super monkys are noob bait for harder maps

[cyan apex]

Good run boys

[white zodiac]

kami or

[cyan apex]

I never thought I would hit a roffle run

Huge wee

[shell dagger]

me and vic used to relentlessly argue over bloons like 4 years ago

[white zodiac]

i think balatro, btd6, angry birds, and sts2 in march 2026 is what i would have on my phone

[shell dagger]

bad times

[white zodiac]

4 years ago is crazy

[shell dagger]

ikr

[opal delta]

angry birds isnt paid

is it?

[white zodiac]

the classic one is 99 cents

[signal frigate]

Oh yeah, you know TABS??

Totally Accurate Battle Sim??

[white zodiac]

the full versions of the classics and seasons were always paid

[opal delta]

yes

[signal frigate]

They had a fuckin Mobile port

[shell dagger]

papas freezeria

[opal delta]

didnt have money to pay for it though

[signal frigate]

I found out through a YouTube ad

[white zodiac]

bloxorz

[signal frigate]

One of the rare times I didn't skip

Cuz I actually loved this game

[opal delta]

so like

[signal frigate]

Now I can play it on my bed

[opal delta]

heres what I got so far

[signal frigate]

Oh, and Katana Zero

[opal delta]

balatro and btd6 im considering to buy

[signal frigate]

Katana Zero is good

It's on mobile too

[shell dagger]

oh damn

[opal delta]

gd, minecraft, and terraria so far is probably a no

[shell dagger]

that’s always been on my todo list

[signal frigate]

And Carrion too

[shell dagger]

never got round to it

[signal frigate]

Carrion is on Mobile

[signal frigate]

It's REALLY fuckin fun

[shell dagger]

also a good game

[opal delta]

carrion is on mobile??

[shell dagger]

i played on switch

[signal frigate]

The controls are a tiny bit tricky at first

[signal frigate]

Yeah

[hardy fable]

carrion is the parasite thingy right

[shell dagger]

yeah

[signal frigate]

Netflix for some reason is porting alot of games to Mobile

[signal frigate]

Reverse horror yeah

[manic talon]

now this is a stupid run lmao

[signal frigate]

You're the monster

[hardy fable]

oh no I'm too stupid for that had to watch a walk through

[shell dagger]

netflix put hades on mobile then removed it 💔

[signal frigate]

Did they??

[opal delta]

why is it free

why is carrion free

[signal frigate]

Because there's a paid option ingame.

That's the demo

[opal delta]

oh 😔

[white zodiac]

same for etg

[signal frigate]

The first few levels are free

But you have to pay to get to the rest

[white zodiac]

first chamber is free

[signal frigate]

It's surprisingly smooth and plays really well though

I'm kind of impressed

[opal delta]

are they worth it tbh

[shell dagger]

imagine if balatro first blind was free

[signal frigate]

It's fun

[signal frigate]

That'd be the funniest

[white zodiac]

no, that shit heats up my phone so bad

[signal frigate]

I'm a mobile gamer so I can recommend some games

There's this side scroll soulslike simulator that's just called

"Boss Rush Simulator"

[white zodiac]

etg is ram and battery consuming

[signal frigate]

It's actually fairly fun

[opal delta]

even more than balatro?

[signal frigate]

And challenging

[signal frigate]

What's etg again? I'm bad at abbreviations

[white zodiac]

balatro you don’t notice, etg you’ll notice by touching the screen for longer than five minutes

[opal delta]

enter the gungeon

[white zodiac]

enter the gungeon

[signal frigate]

Oh

[worthy yarrow]

there are some good mobile ports of pc/console games like stardew valley, halls of torment, dead cells, nortato, and slay the spire to name a few.

[signal frigate]

I mean that's honestly obvious due to the amount of bullshit that game has

[opal delta]

wow okay

[signal frigate]

And I thought Binding of Isaac had a mobile version

I kinda want one

[opal delta]

ill consider buying those then

[signal frigate]

I think it'll work well as a Mobile game no?

[worthy yarrow]

all of them are on google's play pass thingy if you want to try them out.

[white zodiac]

yeah

[signal frigate]

Stardew Valley is amazing, definitely recommended

[white zodiac]

if etg can work i dont see how tboi cant

[signal frigate]

Slay the Spire is absolutely addicting

As addicting as Balatro

[white zodiac]

i’ll play the second one when it comes out in 4 months

[signal frigate]

It's practically the same type of "Numbers go big" game

[opal delta]

why did they call it brotato premium

[signal frigate]

Because money

[white zodiac]

first one i just never had the time to spend into

[signal frigate]

There's a free version

That's the premium one

[opal delta]

I know what brotato is

I played it before

[signal frigate]

Is it actually good?

[worthy yarrow]

we call those demos in way back

[opal delta]

why is there a free and paid version

[signal frigate]

I thought it's another Vampire Survivors clone

[opal delta]

its pretty good

[signal frigate]

I'm tired of Vampire Survivors type games

[opal delta]

thats not really

[zinc willow]

So... I did well i think. Ante 13 ain't bad. Hate the tooth beat ne though

[signal frigate]

I'll check it out then

[signal frigate]

Ante 11 is usually the pit stop of most runs, you did well yeah

[worthy yarrow]

oh right it terms of other card games monster train is quite a good one.

[signal frigate]

Am I allowed to talk about non official mobile ports?

[opal delta]

what do you mean vampire survivors has a balatro character??

why is jimbo in the game

[signal frigate]

It's one of Jimbo's friends

They had a collab

[zinc willow]

White stake i would of gotten further, i dont have 1 gold stake run on android

[signal frigate]

Even Cyberpunk 2077 had a Collab with them

[signal frigate]

They expanded on the Harley Quinn factions, the people like Ozob

[signal frigate]

The bozo with the grenade nose

[worthy yarrow]

hell just saw a jimbo relic in that one new slot machine rouge game (clover pit)

[manic talon]

One of the weirder runs in a while lmao

[signal frigate]

Jimbo likes to include himself in other games

[quick solar]

the timing is actually so comedic

[manic talon]

3 rentals with no econ joker, wtf are you doing

[quick solar]

had basically no money so coudlnt find anything to disable it

[quick solar]

had to pick up the arrowhead to carry me throuh the first antes

[atomic trout]

All Eternals. haha

[quick solar]

brainstrom was debateable

i think i just wanted smeared for more consistency and i thought i could win with only those 3

[manic talon]

i think the second rental eternal was debatable no matter the order

[atomic trout]

Two burnts Jokers...

[cosmic sun]

ngl when your sole score is rental chips

and flushes at that

[atomic trout]

Technically three free level ups

[quick solar]

well its plasma

[cosmic sun]

plasma deck?

[manic talon]

dont think you can beat plasma GS with only 500 chips per hand

[uncut matrix]

i totally forgot riff raff jokers can spawn with editions but this is pretty fire

[cosmic sun]

and plasma early doesn't even need that iirc

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[cosmic sun]

yeah well gl to them pivoting to xmult with 3 rentals and no money solution 💀

This is just a lesson in "you can take rentals but not willy nilly"

[atomic trout]

Rentals are nice to burn onto the Campfire.

[quick solar]

maybe if i got another straight flush i coudlve but its ggs now

[atomic trout]

Such eco.

[cosmic sun]

With interest money you probably could have picked up a less detrimental joker combo

[atomic trout]

Smudge Joker would help on both Spades and Clubs with the Arrowhead

[manic talon]

you need a total of around 900 chips per hand to beat non-VV ante 8

[quick solar]

look at the boss blind

[shell dagger]

most seeds that end up being chips only will end up getting most chips from planets

from my experience

only a select number get the scaling chips early

[atomic trout]

Ride the Bus and Green Joker are nice

[manic talon]

yea usually, thats why runner plasma is goated, cuz you also get straight levels

[quick solar]

goated emperor

do i sell to take runner or no

[shell dagger]

absolutely sell

[manic talon]

yes

[quick solar]

gold 9 or ace?

[shell dagger]

9

[quick solar]

do i take vagabond and kill my econ again

[shell dagger]

i would tbh

[quick solar]

maybe open buffon first

[exotic orchid]

You are getting the discount voucher. You dont need to deck fix here. So vagabond has less value.

[quick solar]

too late

surely it'll be fine

[manic talon]

vagabond into flush house pivot 🤔

wait no, strush pivot

[exotic orchid]

Oh wait thats runner. I thought its stuntman for some reason. Vagabond definitely then.

Kill edge cards.

[quick solar]

i picked up a hack so im trying to turn my aces into twos

[exotic orchid]

But you have a eternal runner.

[quick solar]

i can play low straights

although i guess aces are the best for straights technically

[exotic orchid]

They are not. A good straight build should be thick in the middle and low on the edges. With 2s and aces trimmed completely

[quick solar]

holy cash out

is rental hiker worth?

[exotic orchid]

We doin money posting?

[exotic orchid]

Absolutely not. You already have a good chip joker. Focus on xmult now.

[hazy epoch]

do u get better jut by playing the game

[exotic orchid]

Yes

[hazy epoch]

ohhh okay bet

[quick solar]

shouldnt i get regular mult before xmult or is planets enough

im at lvl 7 rn

[exotic orchid]

Yeah I meant mult in general

[quick solar]

lowkey

i just got an arrowhead

hack + runner + arrowhead should be enough for ante 8

surely i can do chips only

[lunar zealot]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ADSKUGFDASEIGBEDGFJKBJLBFGBDNJFGFLDSKNBBN

[exotic orchid]

Are you having any specific issues.

[blissful cedar]

This is actually so sad im.sorry

[lunar zealot]

I HAD MADNESS BRO

AND I JUST GOT ETERNAL GRIMBO SO I WAS TRYNA PLAY HIGH CARDS TO SCALE IT

THEN A PAIR TO FINISH IT OUT

AND I LOST BY 1 FUCKING CHIPPPPP

HAHAHAHAHAHAA

[blissful cedar]

You cant fuck around with the boss blinds

[manic talon]

Welcome to the club

[blissful cedar]

Just knock em out

I stop grinding on boss blinds when i have 2 hands left

[hazy epoch]

yea but im problaly just stupid 😆

[blissful cedar]

Just in case the last hand fails

[night bane]

wee joker:

[exotic orchid]

Watch roffle or balatro university on youtube. You will learn alot by watching them play

Roffle is more easier to watch. But balatro university generally gives better tips

[manic talon]

Losing by 1 chip gotta be the worst feeling

[manic talon]

Idk most of roffle's run that actually made it to youtube are the wacky ones

[blissful cedar]

Its a creative game, experiment with all the different jokers and find ones you like, everyone plays thr game for different reasons...

High score, endless, naneinf, completion, it has something for everyone. Just enjoy playing it above all else

1 chip squad in here crazy

[hazy epoch]

HECK YEAHHHHHH 😄

[hazy epoch]

okr thanks

[quick solar]

[velvet patrol]

There's no way I can pivot this late right

jimbo finally hit the gold

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

who is that

[cosmic sun]

francis gaming

[terse dock]

francis from left 4 dead 1

[nova mantle]

would francis lfd1 hate bloodstone tho

dont think its very in character for him

[lyric shore]

coach would

[serene forge]

is that the guy that hates everything

or am i thinking of something else

[atomic trout]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOT

Worst jokers I had to deal with but so many, many Tarot cards were made

[cosmic sun]

lowkey just his vocal stim

[serene forge]

wdym worst jokers these are all good except swishbonkler

[dim bolt]

anything i can do here

[cosmic sun]

swash probably helped them meet their mult quota ngl

with multed square

[hardy fable]

there's someone who says I hate bloodstone everyday

I'll say I love stuntman every day too👍

[cosmic sun]

but yeah it's literally chips, mult, and two xmult sources...

and vagabond.

a copied vagabond.

[serene forge]

true

[wintry ice]

i love hit road the

[wintry ice]

also why am i not surprised that's tyler's server's tag

[atomic trout]

Swash sucks but I managed

Let's roll the dice!

[velvet patrol]

I'm surprised the ante 21 pivot from baron to idol worked

[atomic trout]

Damn. Fail.

[past locust]

Pingas deck rebirth

[heavy heron]

NICE

[thin finch]

ofc mf will hit the most vital card

[velvet patrol]

Am I just looking for vouchers atp?

[serene forge]

i love hrt too

[vale wharf]

What's mf?

[sacred trench]

This was very difficult

[velvet patrol]

O7

[vale wharf]

Wait, why aren't all your copiers on sock?

[velvet patrol]

[sacred trench]

I only got the Photo at the last ante

[velvet patrol]

Why would they be

[vale wharf]

Sorry, idk how it works too well

[velvet patrol]

Oh lol

[vale wharf]

I just think of more retriggers

[velvet patrol]

You always wany to balance mult and retriggers

Think of it like 4×4 vs 8×1 kinda

[sacred trench]

Polychrome Blue Print looks amazing

And polychrome saved the run

I used Castle as well and that helped alot

[crystal field]

castle……🏰

holy crap lois i love scaling chips ⬛️🏃‍♂️🐂

▪️

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[crystal field]

ok

🏍️

guhh… 👖 🍌

emojilatro is real

[serene forge]

bike

[crystal field]

🤼‍♂️

[crystal field]

yeees uh

bike joker

[safe moat]

Do I take Invis here?

No

[vague sequoia]

Wdym no

Bro GAMBLE in the game about gambling

Smh

[safe moat]

No because I need to get ecto first I can’t ecto with another chicot

It’s calculated

[ocean yoke]

WOW

[sullen lintel]

if you have 2 mr bones and they save you do you lose both

[thin finch]

its an.... abbreviation for a .... profanity

[safe moat]

Yes

[silent topaz]

however if you lose by running out of cards something very interesting happens

[amber forge]

Probably a stupid question, but how do you use obelisk without running out of hand options? Cause I know ties count as most played hand, so how do you avoid getting stuck with all hands played the same amount of times?

[signal frigate]

Just spam a hand

And then start scaling it

You typically just wanna focus on ramping up one hand until you can safely scale Obelisk enough

Obelisk scales so fast, you're able to catch up with the Blind score requirements

It rivals Yorick and Canio

[vale wharf]

Oh, I thought there was some joker with those initials haha

[signal frigate]

Mother effer basically

[vale wharf]

Ik ik 😅

[amber forge]

Oh ok, makes sense. I just felt like I was missing something lol

[lunar zealot]

just because bbc exists doesn't mean others exist

[vale wharf]

Now what's bbc 😭

[lunar zealot]

Uncommon Jokers each give x1.5 Mult

[vale wharf]

Huh?

[teal peak]

baseball card

[vale wharf]

I wasn't confused there haha

(baseball, huh?)

[vague sequoia]

“I don’t gamble, I calculate.” 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[exotic orchid]

Not a proper obelisk setup.

You need a good mult card for obelisk to function without dying

Also in a pinch you should use your strongest hand. You can always spam more pairs later.

[mental dome]

only like 3 cards left to C++

[amber forge]

Yea too late lol, pretty much realized I had no idea how to use obelisk after I bought it

[fervent wolf]

Should I....

[mental dome]

oof

[fervent wolf]

I LOVE Stone Joker but idk if it's worth it

[mental dome]

X mult is required pretty soon. cant swap out anything since chips wont get you the +mult you need from pants

[fervent wolf]

I have holo Scholar

[mental dome]

taking all those perma jokers is rough. holo stronk

[fervent wolf]

I sadly needed the scoring, or else I'd just drop rebate

If it wasn't eternal

I even saw an ecto earlier too

I mean, I've won plenty of gold stake runs before

Most that can happen is I lose

Imma drop pants for stone Joker bc fun

[mental dome]

I just hope you can delete enough cards to keep at least 1 ace coming up

[fervent wolf]

I played a level one high card and it was a 4...

[fervent wolf]

I think I can lock down this run

[hasty harness]

💔

[fervent wolf]

@mental dome I think it'll work out :)

[hasty harness]

Bro became poly

[vale wharf]

Isn't ancient the best here, though?

[terse dock]

Ancient joker is the fun option

[hasty harness]

Im taking duo

Personally

[mental dome]

ancient joker is sabotage most the time

[terse dock]

Duo is a really good support xmult and gives more room

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[mental dome]

still better than ancient

[lament bronze]

Spam a hand or pivot out, most of the time you don't have nearly enough level scaling in one specific hand to really warrant complaining about a jonkler that scales almost as hard as hologram for playing hands of all things

[terse dock]

OK that's just wrong

[serene forge]

ancient is fun until you don't get a flush

[mental dome]

I swear it will always choose the debuffed suit on bosses

[serene forge]

duo is safer

[lament bronze]

You don't have to stop using your most played hand immediately after

[terse dock]

Then skip the blind before

[serene forge]

use skips strategically

[serene forge]

do you get paid to be a snarky fuck

[lament bronze]

Murphy's law, thankfully AJ is also fun in the fact you can actually use skips without feeling that bad

(because you'd probably die if you gamble)

[mental dome]

or just make a 4 joker build and sometimes ancient is cool and usually its useless

[serene forge]

what

[terse dock]

I just think you play too narrowly

[lament bronze]

Yeah flushes are usually a noob trap but they aren't useless

Overcorrecting and not using one of the strongest jokers in the game because "Wuhh flushes yucky only newbies and dum dums like flushes" isn't a pro gamer move

AJ is just suit independent bloodstone, and far more reliable at that

[tender hill]

The thing about balatro is

it doesnt matter what jokers you choose or hands you play

at the end

[lament bronze]

Same strat of just fishing for retriggers, but you just have to not overdo it on any one suit so you have a likely chance to go on any that the thing asks you to

[tender hill]

All that matters

Is

you know how the game works

[lament bronze]

Yeah that's the design that Thunk says, play as you are dealt

[tender hill]

you could use the most dogshit jokers of all time and make them good

[lament bronze]

Oh well I can't verbatim him on it but it went like that

Try to win with what you're given and stuff

[lament bronze]

Incoming "Every joker has a niche"

[terse dock]

Wrong

[mental dome]

yeah bloodstone on its own vs AJ on its own. but if I am taking bloodstone then I absolutely want all 6s and lucky cards. chad is just always good

[terse dock]

Hand grenade

[lament bronze]

Same thing basically

[tender hill]

Stonks

[serene forge]

amazing growth from someone who admitted to having fun with intentionally ragebaiting people just a day ago

[terse dock]

+5% to your interest

[distant vault]

Red card is poor man's flash card

[lament bronze]

Scales more for less money btw

[serene forge]

uhh

kinda?

in the literal sense maybe

[distant vault]

Not kinda

It is

[terse dock]

He got trashed so hard he won the resolve check

[serene forge]

that's not how people usually use that phrase though

[tender hill]

Deck skins

[terse dock]

Yeah

[tender hill]

we all love them

[mental dome]

stonks also ups your receivable cap so it scales pretty hard if you can keep enough money

[tender hill]

But

[distant vault]

Thank you

[tender hill]

what games should collab with balatro

[serene forge]

explain

[tender hill]

or what franchises

[distant vault]

Monster hunter

[tender hill]

imagine gta x balatro

[lament bronze]

TTM is the evolution to tree money that you can't just get on the voucher slot

[terse dock]

Got hit with the

[serene forge]

clash royale

[lament bronze]

We already got that with cyberpunk tossing Jimbo around

[distant vault]

It doesn't have a limit on scaling per shop. As long as you can reroll you can scale it.

[serene forge]

so i can disregard anyone using mega knight king skins

[mental dome]

dunno GTA, but some car game would make sense. forza or something

[tender hill]

We need a hk collab

[distant vault]

Red does have a limit of +6

[terse dock]

Wouldn't mega knight be jack

[fervent wolf]

I may win

[serene forge]

flash card is far more expensive to reach the +6 per shop red card does unless you specifically have the reroll vouchers

[lament bronze]

You roll a wheel and he smashes down with a nope

[distant vault]

I'm not talking about which is more cost effective

[lament bronze]

Which cost 10 from the get go by the way and needs 10 rerolls to make back the money

[distant vault]

If you're rich flash is better

[serene forge]

why not

[tender hill]

i find it disgusting that some people actually draw nsfw art of jimbo

[serene forge]

don't you think that's pretty important

[lament bronze]

[distant vault]

Yes but that's not my point

Lol

[fervent wolf]

@mental dome Stone Joker was, in fact, a good choice

[lament bronze]

I think he just took the saying a little too obtusely

[serene forge]

it's easy to say "well flash card is better than red card if you ignore the one glaring weakness of flash card that is often difficult to address and does not need to be attended to as much when it comes to red card"

[mental dome]

eyy nice

[exotic orchid]

I mean don't look into places where they post nsfw jimbo art lol.

[tender hill]

whats the highest ante you can reach in balatro

[distant vault]

Sounds like a you problem not a flash card problem

[lament bronze]

Because his argument/joke relies on assuming you're rich in game and so the issue with FC is not an issue

[serene forge]

infinite

[fervent wolf]

Love Stone Jokerr, personally its one of the best scaling chips Joker in the game

[lament bronze]

39, that's where the score requirements reach naneinf and so you can't even beat them with constant naneinfs

[manic talon]

39 without glitches

[mental dome]

its alright. it just seems to almost never come up for me

[lament bronze]

Since the requirement is not a number, even if you score a [Not a number] you don't really get to "Beat" them

2^1024 ahh

[fervent wolf]

I've been getting a TON of runs lately where it's like "here you go, a foil Marble Joker round 1 shop"

[tender hill]

blue joker + brainstorm + perkeo

[distant vault]

Yes that's what I meant by the saying red card is poor man's flash card

[serene forge]

average cryptid mod run

[mental dome]

stone was one of the last I gold stickered

[distant vault]

I'm assuming you're rich

[tender hill]

Its easy to get rich in balatro

[distant vault]

So if you're rich flash is better

[tender hill]

dawg flash is cheap

[lament bronze]

Ante 11 round 52 is so felt I hate how much it relies on tossing you back so much in every single run

[distant vault]

I think so too but people here act like it breaks their economy

[fervent wolf]

Chat, what's your thoughts on Marble Joker

[terse dock]

Meh

[manic talon]

Also you cant even go infinite even with glitches, the mr bones glitch is directly linked to your hardware's capabilities

[serene forge]

bad

good with 2 jonklers

[terse dock]

Just put the cert in the bag

[tender hill]

Whats your thoughts on anaglyph deck

[lament bronze]

Very meh and actively detrimental even in runs that like it, 250 max for a high card plasma run with all chips is not worth the deck bloat it causes

[serene forge]

its cool

[lament bronze]

But it can be a neat hologram scaler

[tender hill]

its really good if you use it correctly

Cause you can farm tons of double tags

And use it on a money tag

Or mega whatever pack

[mental dome]

I like marble more than ancient joker lol. keep it for a few rounds, sell it when you have a handfull of stone cards

[lament bronze]

It goes go nuclear but I like more substance than "Well, maybe" and stuff that actually helps earlier

[manic talon]

Anaglyph is probably the most average deck in the game

[fervent wolf]

Stone Joker, Vampire, Driver's License, Hologram, Blue Joker

[exotic orchid]

Its useful for sticker runs as well. Atleast at the start when you don't have many.

[terse dock]

Most vanilla deck

[lament bronze]

If you just don't get lucky enough to see the 3 actually useful tags past ante 1 (where it wont help you) then you basically have a deck with no downside or upside

[exotic orchid]

Isn't that the dj guy?

[mental dome]

anaglyph good for sticker hunting, hologram, consetellation, and when you want $150 for beating the boss lol

[tender hill]

playing balatro late at night on a friday and its raining

[terse dock]

We the best music

[tender hill]

and youre all comfy and shit

[distant vault]

Red card but no flash card

[grizzled yew]

Chill jimbo beats to win ante 8 to

[mental dome]

racking up 12 negative jokers and hitting a temperance feels good too

[tender hill]

Temperance is one of the best money making tarot cards

If you have a ton of good selling jonklers

[distant vault]

Yes

[lament bronze]

Wdym one of, there's only two

[tender hill]

yea

But its better than the other one

[manic talon]

Theres 3 and temp is no.3

[distant vault]

Devil

[grizzled yew]

That is an egg

[distant vault]

[lament bronze]

Forgot devil honestly I just tunneled into thinking "It gives cash right away"

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of Mr bones?

[grizzled yew]

Bad

[distant vault]

Very good

[manic talon]

You only need 2

[terse dock]

ante 8283

[grizzled yew]

Bad

[mental dome]

lol

[neat ore]

What if I try to copy it

[terse dock]

Cant

[distant vault]

🔥🔥🔥

[mental dome]

screw red card and flash card

[distant vault]

What

[tender hill]

we can atleast agree on one thing

[manic talon]

Then thats invisible joker smh

[distant vault]

Green joker sucks?

[placid ridge]

one sec

[tender hill]

BLACK DECK SUCKS

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of showman?

[distant vault]

Yes

🔥 🔥

[mental dome]

green joker do be niche like that

[placid ridge]

This is a weird run

[tender hill]

damn

[placid ridge]

I'm waiting for a negative tag lol

[manic talon]

5 copies of showman is called a harassment lawsuit

[mental dome]

also that happens when you wait for a negative tag that never comes

[lament bronze]

Being part of the most prevalent spammable and approachable strats isn't niche tbh

Antithetical

[distant vault]

New players think green joker sucks. Good players think green joker is good. Great players know green joker sucks.

[lament bronze]

A niche one would be idk, flowerpot or family

[terse dock]

Family

[distant vault]

[tender hill]

Is bro sniffing fent

[terse dock]

You dont smoke fent

You eat fent

[tender hill]

you get what i mean

[distant vault]

How's it taste

[lament bronze]

Me when I just post my own bias on the internet under the guise of elite thinking

[terse dock]

Bubblegum

[distant vault]

Bubbleyum

[lament bronze]

"He rolled up an euro to sniff it" ahh (Please tell me you guys saw that meme of people making fun at some fanfic for this)

[distant vault]

It's not a guise

I'm elite

[mental dome]

green joker kinda needs burglar to scale appreciably if you aren't playing heavy into special cards. but then it probably doesnt really matter either way, provided your xmult is still scaling

[terse dock]

Im not that chronically online

[terse dock]

Mf just dont discard

It's the same as bus

[mental dome]

reee

[lament bronze]

HI! most annoying person you've ever encountered here! I noticed the post you took 3 seconds to type doesnt line up with every experience I've ever had or could possibly conceive in my head. This is extremely harmful to me, the main character of the universe

[lament bronze]

Yeah I just couldn't help but see it's the same lmao

[manic talon]

Also discarding only takes -1 mult, its not the end of the world

[distant vault]

Just don't discard

[terse dock]

It isnt like nova

[distant vault]

Just don't use purple seals. Just don't look for blue seals

Gold cards

[tender hill]

Anyone know any naneinf seeds

[lament bronze]

At least with bus you just fucking die if you fuck up or are somehow forced into losing it

Vs the hook you just don't scale with grimbo for (1) round

[terse dock]

You can throw away 3 cards with your pair

[lament bronze]

And that's his only counter boss wise

[distant vault]

Yes but you can't search as aggressively

[manic talon]

I kinda hate bus lowk, but because i only play checkered deck and face cards has massive value there

[distant vault]

Green joker is enough to win he's literally in my top most used

But he sucks

[lament bronze]

Grimbo is far less punishing than rtb or supernova for not hardspecing into pairs alone

[terse dock]

I mean yeah but all +mult scalers suck in a special way

[lament bronze]

They suck in the fact that not grabbing them is straight up throwing at a certain level of play

[distant vault]

I feel like green joker costs way more than people realize with purple and blue seals and gold cards

[lament bronze]

So it feels a bit shoehorned on to do another pairs run

Like woo, reliability!

I can rely on this!

[mental dome]

dang, still a ways off

[terse dock]

Green costs you utility
Bus costs you chips
Nova costs you utility and opportunity
Spare trousers costs you opportunity
Fortune Teller
Bootstraps
Red card costs you money

[manic talon]

Bootstraps cost you the game

[distant vault]

"Bootstraps "

🔥

[lament bronze]

With vagabond fortune teller is just a random number generator strapped onto grimbo

[distant vault]

Trousers bus and supernova feel good to use

[hardy fable]

stuntman makes you win

[mental dome]

fortune teller I usually pick up after vagabond or lucky cat or something

[manic talon]

Vaga + fortune teller is just supernova for every hand if you think about it

[terse dock]

You know what really feels good to use

Fibonacci

[distant vault]

Yes

No

[hardy fable]

me cause its a free win

alr bye

[lament bronze]

It's any of the +multers but with the dnd wild magic wheel attached to them

[distant vault]

I wish we had more jokers for aces

[terse dock]

Graduate (Rare)
Scoring aces give x1.5 mult

Aces are the easiest rank to build

[distant vault]

Because of grim?

[terse dock]

Yeah

[mental dome]

meh. we have fib and scholar. I feel like 3s suffer a lot more

[terse dock]

hack fib todd

4s get boned

[distant vault]

Ah yes, scholar for aces and trib for kings.

Awesome

[manic talon]

Meanwhile 7s

[manic zealot]

this scared the absolute fuck out of me

[mental dome]

4s got it rough too yeah. even steven is decent early though

[severe arch]

Am I tweaking or the 8 ball has always been blue?

[terse dock]

7s are straightpilled

[hidden pewter]

lwk ruined my day

[severe arch]

I swear it was purple

[distant vault]

Is rental shop 1 just always a bad idea

[terse dock]

It was changed from blue to purple on 101 what fucked up version are you playing

[manic talon]

No support jokers and theyre straight, truly a pitiful existence

[terse dock]

Indeed

[serene forge]

bbc

[manic talon]

Unlees its rebate

[distant vault]

I hate shop 1 rentals

[terse dock]

Golden Joker 🧠

[severe arch]

EVIL Balatro

[manic talon]

Honestly you can also get away with rental rocket if you lock in (or playing a good deck)

[serene forge]

weakest square joker run

[terse dock]

Blue 8 ball and perishable have never coexisted if memory serves me

[lament bronze]

You known who fucking sucks out of the plus mult crutches?

[placid ridge]

yeah, I kept winning with like >7 hands left because green was getting too strong

[lament bronze]

Supernova can have both perishable and rental

Meanwhile the other two can always be relied as a Perma add to the team

[terse dock]

Cant fortune teller as well

[serene forge]

yes

I hate Fortune Teller

[lament bronze]

Fortune teller is a galaxy away from the plus multer crutches but yeah in the realm of plus mult he also has that on top

The message just worked under the assumption the reader already knows it fucking sucks

At least supernova does compete in the same realm of existence as grimbo and ride the bus and red card

"Reliability (Potential) man" or "Plus mult crutch", choose the best poison

[terse dock]

Fortune teller is a crutch if you have vagabond and 8 ball and cartomancer and 60 purple seals

[lament bronze]

Need a way to slander what are unarguably the strongest jokers for any state of the game

Wait bootstraps can also have perishable rental right?

Since it's sorta retroactive

[manic talon]

I barely consider fortune teller as a scaling +mult, like in a normal run you get it to like +10 when you already have better things going on

[lament bronze]

Just to make sure

[distant vault]

Fortune teller haters in shambles

[lament bronze]

It's abstract joker or mystic summit in my eyes

Hard capped into 20 something

[manic talon]

Its also expensive for no reason

His ass is not worth 6 dollars

[terse dock]

NorthernLion

[terse dock]

Bro's competing with bus and fucking riff raff

[serene forge]

"i wish i could have a joker like red card but 3 times less cost effective most of the time"
the humble fortune teller:

[terse dock]

and like 50 uncommon jokers

[lament bronze]

GOLDEN JOKER THINKING THAT HE ALSO DESERVES TO BE IN THE BIG LEAGUES AS IF CLOUD 9 ISN'T HIM BUT WITH BBC VALUE AND NIGH LIMITLESS POTENTIAL

He does not deserve to be called up to the 6 dollar range no matter how quickly you delude yourself into thinking he pays for himself

[terse dock]

cloud 9 is $7

[manic talon]

Nah dont slander golden joker, hes the barometer for every econ joker

[serene forge]

rebate being 4 is so fucking funny

[lament bronze]

He is one dollar short of cloud 9 being literally golden joker but with two perks

[terse dock]

also a different rarity bracket

[lament bronze]

His output is fine, it could be worse and be satellite or rocket anywhere beyond ante 1

[serene forge]

is there a lore reason why cloud 9 isn't 9 dollars

[lament bronze]

But his ass does not warrant 6 cold, hard, american dollars

[terse dock]

There are like 2 9 dollar jokers

Campfire and

uhhhh

[neat ore]

I love campfire

[lament bronze]

Flavor is fine but there's like only two extremely powerful jokers at that range only

Kinda feels like just nerfing it

[fervent wolf]

Yeah, that's all Uncommons tho

[serene forge]

i think walkie talkie should be 14 dollars

[manic talon]

A payback period of 2 rounds with zero effort put in is fine

[terse dock]

There's one $9 joker

Campfire

[manic talon]

*104

[serene forge]

true

[lament bronze]

Rebate does this in a singular proc and even gives you enough to have an interest cap while being two dollars lower btw

[fervent wolf]

Bloodstone should always start in YOUR slots and forced to be pinned to the leftmost slot and eternal and rental

[serene forge]

don't compare things to rebate

[lament bronze]

Cloud 9 just asks one more while giving you 0 limits in your output and BBC value

[terse dock]

Dude fortune teller is more expensive than mime do you know how sad that is

[serene forge]

rebate is obviously very very op

[lament bronze]

I just think he's oddly close to the joker that's literally him but straight up better

[fervent wolf]

Chat how we feeling abt this for Fork

[terse dock]

more expensive than fucking red card

[lament bronze]

That noob trap sure is strong hot darn

[fervent wolf]

WHAT

[distant vault]

Damn

[fervent wolf]

Yall saw that right

[serene forge]

hm what

[lament bronze]

Couldn't read it til the end

[fervent wolf]

Nothin

[manic talon]

Mime is 5 dollars? Damn why havent i realized that

[lament bronze]

But yeah that was something

[terse dock]

Why isnt oa6 6 dollars

[serene forge]

I can't believe im seeing the consequences of my actions

[lament bronze]

Frame perfect fuck you basically lmao

[terse dock]

Why is it 4 dollars

[river quest]

polychrome skip ?

[terse dock]

Why is it less expensive than pareidolia

[fervent wolf]

@serene forge wants to be forcefully pinned, toss her in the seance pit, guards

[serene forge]

this is libel

[fervent wolf]

I'm throwing you to the wild bloodstones

[serene forge]

noooo :(

[manic talon]

We need more 4 dollar uncs

[serene forge]

why is sly/jolly jonkler 3 but other page 1 jokers 4 dollars

[distant vault]

Yea

[lament bronze]

McDonalds...

[terse dock]

Pair

They're closer to jimbo i guess

[distant vault]

Me neither

[manic talon]

didnt realize how good pair is when balancing

[terse dock]

Yall why is astronomer $8

[lament bronze]

Because it pays back without you doing anything or something

[lunar zealot]

Because bread taste better than key

[terse dock]

Makes sense

[manic talon]

Because a foil astronomer would be 10 dollars like a base edition blueprint, and thats extremely funny

[lunar zealot]

what's the one scenario where you would want astronomer over blueprint

[terse dock]

Ante 1

[lunar zealot]

[manic talon]

It looks the same on first glance

[tame sluice]

hello hello hello

[distant vault]

Hello

[lament bronze]

Be amber acorn

See jokers lined up

Perform the ancient art of fushigi on them

[manic talon]

Can you even buy astronomer on shop 1, i guess if youre on blue green yellow

[lament bronze]

(they are all Xmult so it barely matters)

Okay that's getting annoying

[distant vault]

Its been

[manic talon]

No no no, you have to put the smaller Xmult before the bigger Xmult, thats how math works right

[terse dock]

One week since you looked at me

[distant vault]

I miss you

[lament bronze]

(1) of them was holographic, oh the tragedy... Oh woe is me

I'm losing on so much value, it's on the 3rd slot!!!

[manic talon]

Was actually baffled that someome didnt know the commutative property of multiplication

[terse dock]

the American education system has failed us all

[distant vault]

Same bro 🧠

[tame sluice]

I think u like bloodstone just an assumption though

[dark cairn]

triboulet + brainstorm by ante 3
i think i just win now

[serene forge]

why do you assume that

[lament bronze]

Slander like that is criminal

[dark cairn]

only way i lose is if plant shows up

[brittle shell]

fuck the plant :( no retcon

[lament bronze]

Even if she's been calling me annoying all day I wouldn't insult her as far as calling her a bloodstone fan

[tame sluice]

Hollow knight

[marsh goblet]

damn i love baseball card

[terse dock]

Ante 7

[lament bronze]

Everyone's played that, how can it equate to liking bloodstone

[tame sluice]

For funz

[terse dock]

We all love bbc

[serene forge]

also what

[brittle shell]

u feel my pain

[serene forge]

wtf did you skip for

[lament bronze]

Even with plant just use glass cards, you want to find Chad to retrigger and also nab 4oak or 5oak upgrades so one or two glasses on emergency ranks will go a long way

[brittle shell]

i had no money, didnt matter anyway

i had one gold card red seal and a gold seal, i could’ve made $20 max

[serene forge]

fair enough

[brittle shell]

i wasn’t doing any deck fixing cuz i was buying cards from the shop

it was cooked from the start

i got the trib ante 7 and had to lock tf in

[lament bronze]

Trib doing more harm than good in a normal run as usual

[brittle shell]

^^^

[lunar zealot]

Who ping me

[lament bronze]

It's white stake endless though I don't think it's that bad

[brittle shell]

ofc

[lament bronze]

If it was on lesser antes I would slander soooo bad...

[brittle shell]

if i didn’t have a 65 card deck it might’ve been doable

tbh im happy with getting a new high score on mobile

[dark cairn]

nvm i lost becuase it refused to draw the cards i needed against the mouth
this game blows chunks

[lament bronze]

Fraudbulet coming to the run with his only claim to fame being getting hard capped by the big filter just like most strategies do:

[brittle shell]

by the big filter 😭😭

ur funny im keeping you

[serene forge]

lmao

[rigid forge]

hey guys question rq, is the shop order set such as if i didnt roll, i would still see same jokers next shop (like the joker queue for the run is already set) or it changes with each round/shop you miss or dont miss

[heavy heron]

WELL…. THAT WAS A LITTLE CLOSE……

[dark cairn]

it only changes between antes

[brittle shell]

lmfao why didnt u play the pair

[rigid forge]

L take

[heavy heron]

you’re right my bad

pair auto win

[brittle shell]

i didn’t see high card level 46

my bad

smh

[heavy heron]

oh i thought you were being sarcastic

dw my boy pluto got me

[minor portal]

Misprint being doo doo stink fart as always

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[brittle shell]

^^

[heavy heron]

[brittle shell]

lucky you got something at all

[heavy heron]

saved by lucky hit

[brittle shell]

my misprints be hitting 0s

[minor portal]

Not even, +1

[heavy heron]

+20 mult into photograph

the only reason i lived

[heavy heron]

i got +0 about… 6-7 times that run

mmm misprint my favorite

yummy misprints

[rigid forge]

couldnt find anything better than misprint abstract ante 8 with only 4$ left?

[heavy heron]

YUP

[rigid forge]

bruuuh

[heavy heron]

well i’m $4 because i rolled

[rigid forge]

i hate seeds like that lol

[heavy heron]

last shop

[rigid forge]

some seeds I try to force and make it far but it feels like I keep getting bad joker after bad joker no matter what

[heavy heron]

but like i wasn’t like HARD on money i was hyper focused just deck fixing blue seal spams

2 plutos per round

[rigid forge]

I know a better player could probably still make it work but yeah

[heavy heron]

but yeah 100% some seeds are just commons simulator

[rigid forge]

common perishable rental

ante 1 matador with a boss blind that you cant use perish rental and splash perish rental

[heavy heron]

you’d go like 8 rolls deep per ante and find nothing

[rigid forge]

gl

[heavy heron]

it’s crazy

[errant brook]

I just had a basically guaranteed naneinf not happen because Burglar was too deep to commit to before I had no choice, it happens

C++ best tip: Play on blue deck

[heavy heron]

or an eternal rental droll joker or smth

[lament bronze]

And don't forget to floop the pig

[errant brook]

Sounds crazy, but once I started only playing Red/Blue deck it went super fast

[rigid forge]

I just played on ghost deck for the vibes ended up with a 6 win streak to finish C++

was lovely

still my main deck, ghost my beloved

[errant brook]

I finished on Anaglyph deck only because I needed Chicot and that was the easiest way to do it

[brittle shell]

ghost my beloved
