Ello ello

[cerulean parcel]

Hormone replacement therapy?

[serene forge]

hrt is so good

[indigo vine]

Yeahh

[left juniper]

hit the road is underrated

[nova mantle]

no red circle where do i look

[cerulean parcel]

How much mult on throwback

Also this is NOT optimal

[wintry ice]

why were people putting purple and red above blue

what were they saying

[cerulean parcel]

Green seal is the best

[serene forge]

azure seal

[serene forge]

no

[cerulean parcel]

Navy blue seal

[nova mantle]

periwinkle seal

[serene forge]

whatttt

it's insane how people are able to get away playing like this what the fuck

[cerulean parcel]

This kinda sucks from the looks of it

Throwback isn’t very good

Unless im VERY desperate

[nova mantle]

i clearly see base mult, x mult and scaling whats wrong with it

only thing theyre missing is chips

[cerulean parcel]

The shit isn’t even optimal

[serene forge]

this is carried entirely by blueprint brainstorm

[cerulean parcel]

all his jokers are eternal

[serene forge]

also using throwback with burned joker

[cerulean parcel]

Burnt joker is wasting away

[serene forge]

people should be imprisoned for doing that

[left juniper]

for Ante 8 runs red seal is easily the worst no joke. If Certificate gives me a red I riot

[lyric shore]

it won?

[cerulean parcel]

And he’s using throwback

[cerulean parcel]

Lucky

[serene forge]

it's insane how people are able to get away playing like this what the fuck

[cerulean parcel]

He has no flat mult

[nova mantle]

lusty joker??

yall js hating

[cerulean parcel]

Lust joker is shit

[serene forge]

garbage

[cerulean parcel]

he doesn’t even have it optimal

[lyric shore]

if a run wins its good

[cerulean parcel]

This is like really wrong

[lyric shore]

how could it be better

[left juniper]

Pretty sure it is optimal. Whats wrong with it?

[serene forge]

is idol good for ante 8 runs suddenly

[cerulean parcel]

Brainstorm should be last

[lyric shore]

why

[left juniper]

Why?

[serene forge]

it doesn't make a difference

lusty triggers first

[terse vale]

ehhh

[cerulean parcel]

Oh yeah I forgot

[lyric shore]

if you take it because it'll make you win sure

[cerulean parcel]

White stake logic

[serene forge]

so never basically

[lyric shore]

it's good for that specific moment

[nova mantle]

somebody keeps flexing their nitro it seems

[opal delta]

this is how I won back then

isnt that beautiful

[cerulean parcel]

I find it really hilarious to see a bunch of ?s

[opal delta]

three eternal riff raffs

[serene forge]

what the

[opal delta]

in one run

[lyric shore]

funnier when the question marks are on correct stuff

[cerulean parcel]

It’s so bad it’s good

[nova mantle]

say bloodstone is good and youll get bombarded with 1 million shining emotes

[opal delta]

oh btw this was my first gold stake win for my second file

[cerulean parcel]

Bloodstone is pretty meh

[cerulean parcel]

now THIS what I call a good joker deck

[serene forge]

how is your handsize so big

[opal delta]

which part

?

[serene forge]

with a bluntman

[nova mantle]

vouchers i guess

[opal delta]

both of the handsize vouchers

[cerulean parcel]

Voucher

[serene forge]

but that would put you at 10 handsize

and stuntman loses 2

[lyric shore]

math not workin

[serene forge]

how do you get 9

[cerulean parcel]

Ancient stuntman ballot acrobat

[nova mantle]

secret 3rd voucher

[serene forge]

true

maybe they did double chicot glitch earlier

[cerulean parcel]

chicot manacle glitch?

[cerulean parcel]

Thought so

[opal delta]

ding ding ding

[hearty warren]

hidden negative juggler dragged off screen

[opal delta]

you guessed correctly

[manic talon]

More than 24 rounds, crimson bug hieroglyph is possible

[lyric shore]

looks like a juggle tag

[hearty warren]

chicot bug in a gold stake run goes kinda hard tbh

[cerulean parcel]

All in one hand

[cerulean parcel]

Is that you crawlid?

[lyric shore]

one and only

[opal delta]

this is my highscore so far I think

on the second file

[cerulean parcel]

Dear localthunk,PLEASE DELAY THE UPDATE

[civic harness]

Started playing today and got my first win thanks to Hologram so elite

[wary zodiac]

i thinned my deck too much

never listen to rt game guys

got a pretty fun build though

[wary zodiac]

upper end was like 80k i think

nvm

finally bro

im lowkey terrible at the game

good to see a random run pop off

[vague sequoia]

Just won using chips 💔

[cerulean parcel]

You never really got better at Balatro you just got better jokers

[vague sequoia]

What is bro talmbout

Yes I got lucky with the best chip jokers

Apart from icecream

[cerulean parcel]

Not talking to you

Now take that ❔ back

[vague sequoia]

I was planning for the sexy ahh straight flush build but stuntman fucked it over

(Big sad)

Also I’m not surviving ante 9

[vocal rose]

hmmmm

[cerulean parcel]

And better vouchers

And better decks

[vocal rose]

bros onto nothing

[cerulean parcel]

I mean think about it if you were stuck with base game jokers would you able to win gold stake

[vocal rose]

yes you can

but skill expression is a thing in balatro believe it or not

so you can win with shitty jokers

[vale wharf]

Will I make it?

[lyric shore]

for sure

[wary zodiac]

yes

definitely

you can throw extremely hard with the best luck if you're just ass

and you can play extremely well with awful luck if you're just goated

i think the most important thing about this game is that you have fun seeing number go up though

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[alpine basalt]

if you never unlock some jokers then you actually have better odds for rolling good ones on gold stake

[serene forge]

listen i only picked up the conjoined heart because i didn't want to lose my 18 hour steel soul run to seth

[wary zodiac]

lalalala spoilers spoilers lallalallalla can't hear them

(still not finished hollow knight 😔)

[serene forge]

L

[lyric shore]

why go there in steel soul

[distant vault]

Balatro

[lunar zealot]

Yes

Obelisk is available from the start

[cobalt talon]

Can it be-?

[lavish gazelle]

SHAW

[lunar zealot]

no mime?

Well no you win but like wow

[cobalt talon]

(never found it)

Ante 18 no mime :c

With over stuck+

[spiral star]

Wondering if someone can help answer a dumb general question. Lets say I have a card like Even Steven boosting even cards. Now I have the chance to put a gold/steel modifier on it. In general, would you put it on an even or odd card?
I have found myself putting them on odd cards but then I need to discard it to make my hand, but obviuosly I don't want to actually play them.

This question also applies to similar jokers with face cards/particular suit/whatever

[distant vault]

Excellent

[lunar zealot]

In general put it on a card you want to dupe that synergizes with a build and has little weaknesses

in this sense put it on a 2 of clubs or spades

Or a 9 of clubs or spades

etc

even steven is not a long term joker anyway

[spiral star]

Yeah even steven is just an example of something I feel like comes up a lot

Seems like duping isn't that common though? Is it worth it even if I am just doing it with the ocassional tarrot card?

[lunar zealot]

to dupe is to make better hands more easily and to make more enhanced cards or sealed cards

duping purple and blue seals are gamewinners

generally the best rank to dupe is the one you can do so most easily of the suit you've already seen the suit debuffer boss blind for

the second best card to dupe is 2s or 9s of clubs or spades

[spiral star]

So do you play every run hoping to get the ability to dupe cards even into mid-late game?

[lunar zealot]

It would be nice yes

that's what econ is for

[spiral star]

I see, makes sense

[vague sequoia]

For me, general rule is purple on shit you dont want, rest on shit you want

[spiral star]

perf, I think that will help me a good bit

[uncut slate]

if you get a death tarot you should just hold onto it until you find your good card too

[vague sequoia]

But then sometimes you need to get rid of them too so I also put purple on stuff I want

[uncut slate]

i often just put everything on stuff i want

if you put purple on the stuff you want then you make copies of it using death from the purple and you get more purple so you get more death

[vague sequoia]

Got a pretty straight flush build

[uncut slate]

goofy build

what challenge is this

[vale wharf]

Runner is broken

[vague sequoia]

Rich get richer

[gritty lily]

my first time getting over 100 mil and I got 4.6 bil

[uncut slate]

runner works pretty much as intended

[vague sequoia]

I dont get the challenge part about it

Wrong reply

[vague sequoia]

I dont get the challenge

[uncut slate]

which one is that

most of the challenges are kinda easy

[vague sequoia]

Start with 100 dolla

And both money tree vouchers

[uncut slate]

oh yeah it's the chips one

that that one's kinda easy

[vague sequoia]

Chips cant exceed the amount of dolla u got

[uncut slate]

you have so much money and 100 chips is basically enough on white stake anyway

[vale wharf]

Preemptively disabled boss

[lunar zealot]

there are 2 types of challenges

'know how this joker or mechanic works'

or

'fuck you you can't do _ now'

[uncut slate]

i like the one where the "challenge" is you start with ceremonial dagger

[lavish gazelle]

My jokers feel shuffled indeed

[lunar zealot]

on a knife's edge is 'don't be stupid'

that's kind of it

[lavish gazelle]

Pinned sticker

[uncut slate]

yeah you just gotta remember to buy something for the dagger

but you should usually do that anyway

[simple stream]

shuffled dagger is terrifying lol

imagine doing a run where jokers were always flipped and shuffled, and one was eternal dagger

[weak coyote]

what do i do

i kept on copying uranus cuz its the only thing i could

[uncut slate]

i mean you just put it on the right and grab it when you select blind

oh wait jokers always shuffled

yeah idk i guess it's just like playing with madness

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

not take rare skips

[proper bronze]

hi

[weak coyote]

I did it for shits

[serene forge]

hi

[weak coyote]

i wanted to see what,would come up

and a brainstorm did

the run ended with a lineup of

[proper bronze]

sell perkeo and photo buy dna and burnt joker

[uncut slate]

you should sell photo and just burn

[weak coyote]

negative perkeo 2 brainstorm 1 blueprint 1 sock and 1 photograph

[uncut slate]

dna is an evil joker

[weak coyote]

i couldn't get my red seals in time

sigh

they would've carried

[proper bronze]

skill

issue

[distant vault]

Good run

[uncut slate]

dna if it was good:

[fervent wolf]

Ggs, such a good run

Easy, Obelisk is so good

[vocal rose]

yes!

[silk tapir]

I simply didn't find the Poly 4s I needed to win

[fervent wolf]

Were you relying on one or two? Or like 20

[uncut matrix]

i meed to get a flawless baron mime poly red steel game

the lack of a particular aspect of this kills my runs

[silk tapir]

I had 2 of them

[uncut matrix]

and i havent had that yet

[silk tapir]

and I had Deja Vu + Death

[fervent wolf]

Oof

Obelisk is so good chat

Eternal poly even better

[silk tapir]

it's funny how saying Obelisk is good and saying it's bad can both ragebait people

[fervent wolf]

Exactly

[uncut matrix]

that goes for anything

[fervent wolf]

But I mean come on, how could you hate it

[silk tapir]

I can see why one might hate it

but damn do I hate losing more

[grizzled yew]

What does obelisk do I forgor

[uncut matrix]

scalingx mult for playing hands that arent your most played

[silk tapir]

xMult, 1.0 + 0.2 per hand played
as long as the hand is not your most played

otherwise it resets to 1.0

[fervent wolf]

It's so free if you have tarots as well to make cards played not be your most played hand lol

[uncut matrix]

when you dont realize what youre playing and it resets it hurts my soul

[fervent wolf]

Death/Cryptid/Strength

Are really good

[silk tapir]

granted you need to have some other source of flat mult and chips (i.e. not fully relying on planet levels for scoring) but you usually want to have those already anyways

[vale wharf]

Does luchador counter every boss blind? Will it work against the water?

Because the discards are already gone

[manic talon]

yes

youll get it back

[fervent wolf]

I had poly stuntman and misprint!

[vale wharf]

Nice!

Wait a sec

Will it work against crimson heart if it's disabled?

[unreal iron]

manifesting 20 luchadors

[unreal iron]

luchador can disable every boss blind it doesnt matter

[fervent wolf]

When I had the eternal Obelisk with other jokers, I IMMEDIATELY hex'd ankh'd the second I got ankh

[manic talon]

no, its disabled, but if luchador is disabled that means no other joker is

just wait for the next hand

[vale wharf]

Makes sense

[uncut slate]

what if it's a polychrome luch and baseball card and you also need cranked its sell value for swash

[vale wharf]

New boss blind: crimson leaf
all jokers disabled until one card is destroyed

[uncut slate]

i think there should be more non-showdown blinds that screw with your jokers

like it would definitely suck to play

but i want it

[vale wharf]

Mad acorn
shuffles and destroys all jokers

[uncut slate]

basically every boss is countered by having a build that scores with jokers instead of cards and hands

[fervent wolf]

Adds rental or perishable to a random Joker after hand is played

[uncut slate]

it could be a baby crimson fart

like rightmost joker is disabled or something

so you can pick which one it is but it's still gone

idk that needs more work though because that still isn't very interesting

[vale wharf]

Acorn is a silly boss, it shouldn't show the shape of the joker card

[weak coyote]

whats my best option

[uncut slate]

it shows a lot more than shape

[proper turtle]

ante 7 tribuolet was just comical

[vale wharf]

Ummmmm, is Jimbo real or did we make him up? Is it a Larry from clash of clans type situation?

[distant vault]

Such a fun run

[vale wharf]

Eggswash

[proper turtle]

lack of chad really makes you feel the odds of lucky cards

[opaque wind]

Larry is canon smh

SC acknowledges that name

[vale wharf]

Yes, but the community named him
Supercell adopted the name

[opaque wind]

ah

either way idk actually

[distant vault]

[uncut matrix]

i think jimbos been canon from the start

[vale wharf]

Supercell acknowledged him for the first time when clash royale released in the description for the skeleton army

[vale wharf]

I don't see it anywhere in the game, which led me to believe we named him Jimbo

[uncut matrix]

maybe i’m wrong?

[weak coyote]

how do i go back in time..

[uncut matrix]

i thought it was in promo material like that one ad

[weak coyote]

i could've rerolled but i pressed play

WITHOUT KNOWING

IT WAS THE PLANT

💔 💔 💔

[vale wharf]

Oh, I haven't seen

[vocal rose]

reading helps

theres no time constraint in balatro

[vale wharf]

and then she selected the plant

[weak coyote]

it was a jolly good run

fuck

[distant vault]

It happens

[manic talon]

he literally says his own name in the tutorial

[distant vault]

All the time actually

[weak coyote]

i didnt get to test out my strongest build

😭

[manic talon]

literally one of the first thing you see, balatro players not beating the allegations

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad

well maybe it does on ante 12

i dunno

[green meteor]

I want him so bad, man 😭

[distant vault]

Poly skip

I died

[vale wharf]

I must have forgotten 😭
I actually started the game 6 months ago, but didn't play after like 2 days
I got really invested in the past month

+3 DSWs
It's a good morning

[wary zodiac]

7!

[proper bronze]

arcana pack?

[wary zodiac]

yep

looks right to me

[proper turtle]

my dumb ass took all eternals and died to empty deck, I'm surprised I even got this far

[distant vault]

Im so stupid

Picked up green on auto pilot

[uncut slate]

love this combo i call it the greebate

just pretend it's black deck grimbo

[distant vault]

Worst mail in rebate of ALL TIME

No contest

[serene forge]

why did you take a photograph and an abstract jonkler together

[distant vault]

If i don't die its a miracle

[uncut slate]

hamburger rebate

[uncut matrix]

goofiest setup ive ever seen

[uncut slate]

this is a free run wdym

like it's ok to have a dead eternal

that happens

[vale wharf]

Is there a place I can ask about mobile modding?

[distant vault]

Green is at +5

Im scraping by

[uncut slate]

oh lol

well burger grimbo will scale up pretty fast

and you should get enough on the hologram to keep it together

and blue seals from certificates will also start to snowball

[vale wharf]

Those first 3 have NO synergy

[distant vault]

Thats why I said worst rebate of all time

Shit is just a parasite

[uncut slate]

it's literally a good build + a single useless rental

[uncut matrix]

useless rental = bad preparation

predict the card rotation to avoid this

[vale wharf]

How did you even get it?

[distant vault]

I got rebate first but then I picked up green out of instinct

I forgot about eternal rebate

[vale wharf]

😭 boi wtf

[uncut slate]

even green + rebate isn't bad

[proper turtle]

I did not see the eternal symbollll, just took abstract to survive the early antes

[uncut matrix]

but the rebates a rental

[distant vault]

We are still alive.

Yea its just 3 bucks a round for no reason

[uncut slate]

it's worse scoring than green without rebate and worse money than rebate without green but better scoring and money than having neither

[uncut matrix]

like a netflix subscription you forget to remove

[uncut slate]

once you get burger it's useless but you're winning anyway

it's super gg with a fat hologram and a billion hands to scale your grimbo

[uncut matrix]

for sure

[distant vault]

We did it

[boreal hamlet]

Do I buy onyx?
Bootstraps +94

And if so what should I sub

Rich get richer challenge btw

Thx!

[neat ore]

Why do we play balatro?

[boreal hamlet]

For me it’s adhd lol I’m able to hyper fixate

[distant vault]

For holo + cert runs

[neat ore]

There has to be a deeper meaning...

[distant vault]

There has to be more to it than number go big

[boreal hamlet]

Any help possibly guys ^^

[distant vault]

Are you playing flushes

[boreal hamlet]

Yes

[distant vault]

Idk I personally probably think youre fine

With straps

[boreal hamlet]

Eventually going for FOAK or flush house

[neat ore]

Maybe... just maybe balatro shows the struggles of humans by the flash card since no matter what ya gotta re roll

[distant vault]

Flash card is my beloved

[hardy fable]

to have a chance to bask in my amazing presence

[distant vault]

It is an analogy for human greed

[neat ore]

You are right the true meaning of balatro is to look at you

God your chin is so nice

[molten thicket]

do i take it

[humble hound]

i personally can’t resist, but im also still a bit of a newbie

[molten thicket]

problem is i cant sell anything

also the chances of it being worse than the fool for death is high

[humble hound]

probably a good play to leave it then. unless you really want to gamble lmao

[distant vault]

Hit the road

[obsidian patrol]

how many jacks are you discarding

[molten thicket]

its reaching 4x/round

also i didnt take it

[quick solar]

i love getting stoned

anyways its ggs here

[distant vault]

What in the god damn

[quick solar]

82MKQZ5R

pretty fun run

triple burnt + neg space is fun lol

[quick solar]

could probably get further if you forced invis to copy perkeo instead of burnt

[molten thicket]

WHAT

[quick solar]

wtf lucky

4 fingers is so good

[proper turtle]

yeah, 4 fingers is the obvious choice here

[wanton breach]

PhotoChad + SwashEgg dream come true

[molten thicket]

i hope i dont choke this 4 fingers run

[last bolt]

is ts tuff

[opal delta]

👀

[cloud sigil]

golden needle is a joke

[vague sequoia]

Man what in the fuck got you to e37

[hardy fable]

80 plutos

[vale wharf]

If I find another spare trousers, will it begin at 0 mult?

[acoustic kettle]

Ye

[lunar zealot]

Yes

you're finding spare trousers not scaled spare trousers

[finite wharf]

i like. triangle joker

[acoustic kettle]

🔺

[finite wharf]

each played 3 card hand gives $3, 30 chips and 3 mult

[acoustic kettle]

damn econ joker with a bit of scoring

[valid badger]

Bruhh

[finite wharf]

it might be too strong like that...

im not sure if it would just be better as $3 for every 3 card hand. you can get some really good eco off of it ngl

[lunar zealot]

I mean

[wicked sable]

decisions, decisions

[lunar zealot]

this is kinda your fault

[vocal rose]

easily vagabond

[lunar zealot]

you have two blueprints and absolutely dogshit econ?

[vocal rose]

no competition

[lunar zealot]

vaga

[heady narwhal]

moment of triboulet

world's most b tier legendary

[wicked sable]

never seen a trib build that involves actually playing the face cards

[manic talon]

its a perishable brainstorm its highly likely you wont get actual value from it before it dies

[crisp bane]

if you had just turned hte face cards wild none of this wouldve happened

dont ask how that helps it just does

you need to trust the process

[lunar zealot]

what?

what are you talking about

[finite wharf]

one day im gonna do a trib pareidolia run where i use hack because fun

[crisp bane]

nothing

[heady narwhal]

1.1 gaming

[jagged torrent]

New jerker idea

[finite wharf]

left ball joker

[heady narwhal]

this is how triboulet works

[finite wharf]

twists card

[crisp bane]

down with joker, up with jerker

[jagged torrent]

Kami gives ×3 mult for each jerker on gold stake

[vocal rose]

yep

this is how trib works

[finite wharf]

shhhhh

[jagged torrent]

Yep

:)

[crisp bane]

new joker idea: you instantly win

1/1000 chance to win every round

you just instantly win

[vocal rose]

bro CANT read

[heady narwhal]

this is just castle

[crisp bane]

if you already won you win again

dont even ask how that works

[finite wharf]

999/1000 chance to eat dirt mid round

[crisp bane]

it just does

[jagged torrent]

Takes 4 jonkler slots

[crisp bane]

if you fail the roll your mult and chips are square (rooted)

[finite wharf]

man ive got more green in me than i need right now

[vocal rose]

is this the hour of shitty joker ideas

[jagged torrent]

😭

[crisp bane]

yes!

[jagged torrent]

Always

[crisp bane]

its like hte plasma deck but reversed

[simple stream]

hmm is lesbian hornet on rn?

[crisp bane]

so if you're using plasma you only score 2x less than a normal deck!

[jagged torrent]

Yes hornet is lebanon

[crisp bane]

unless you score negative somehow then you break reality

[lunar zealot]

why do people think they're funny

[jagged torrent]

You go to ante -12

But loose all discards

[lunar zealot]

oh god these onion rings suck

[crisp bane]

i mean sometimes its funny

[finite wharf]

how about we do brown joker. enhances one random card held in hand per round

[jagged torrent]

This is fhe the time you called me un funny :((
Why do women not find me funny

[finite wharf]

did you pick up when they rang

[lunar zealot]

not sure if i believe that

[lunar zealot]

Oh my god did it look like i was talking to you

i love misogynists

[crisp bane]

yo guys i have a TOTALLY ORIGINAL joker idea

so imagine

a jimbo card

where you gain... PLUS FOUR MULT!

IM A GENIUS

[finite wharf]

jimarid

[crisp bane]

A GENIUS!!!!

[jagged torrent]

Omg

So peak

@/thunklocal

[crisp bane]

now. imagine a joker where

[jagged torrent]

Hire this man

[crisp bane]

it selects a RANDOM SUIT...

[finite wharf]

@spacialawareness where are you man i cant see the floor

[crisp bane]

and then when you play a card with that suit...

IT GIVES YOU x1.5 MULT WHEN SCORED!

[jagged torrent]

I think it should be a rare tbh

[simple stream]

@dire tapir @signal frigate
I took ur advices and leveled up my hands some

[finite wharf]

sounds too powerful. surely we should either make it choose random suits or give it a 1 in 2 chance

[crisp bane]

nah make it a common

[jagged torrent]

Too op for common and uncommon

[crisp bane]

hmmm

what about...

[jagged torrent]

More pair levels

[simple stream]

why

[crisp bane]

1 IN 2 CHANCE FOR A HEART CARD WHEN SCORED TO 1.5x MULT

[simple stream]

I only need 2 pair

[crisp bane]

im a genius

yo i have ANOTHER joker idea

so imagine like

imagine a pair of pants

[simple stream]

ill never play anything other than 2 pair and if I fail I just lose xd

[proper bronze]

you look like a joker from cryptid mod

[finite wharf]

ok we need to have it say that but code it so its 1/16

[crisp bane]

now imagine if this pair of pants... scaled 2 mult... EVERY TIME THERE WAS A TWO PAIR IN YOUR HAND!

[signal frigate]

How'd it go?

[simple stream]

I started with a pair of pants and got it to like +40 mult but then it fell off and I had to change them

[finite wharf]

Playing Two Pair sets money to $0

[jagged torrent]

Hows the wife and kids blueprint?

[simple stream]

only 2 pair lmao

[simple stream]

I got that and then I rerolled

[signal frigate]

Yeah but how did it go?

[proper bronze]

awesome and i don't have kids

[crisp bane]

have you tried using a belt next time

[finite wharf]

i got one

[simple stream]

honestly pretty good so far

[finite wharf]

jokar gains 4 mult when card deleted

[signal frigate]

That's impressive

[simple stream]

belt?

[crisp bane]

i have a even BETTER one...

we RIG LOCALTHUNK to a MEDIEVAL TORTURE DEVICE...

[jagged torrent]

Chotophad final boss

[crisp bane]

And then...

[jagged torrent]

Please dont

[crisp bane]

When someone buys this joker, there's a 1/100 chance it stretches his limbs by 1/10th of a INCH!

[simple stream]

it's only red stake or smth but black deck aint easy

[crisp bane]

IM A GENIUS!!!!

[heady narwhal]

buy certificate

[finite wharf]

+50 chips per pair played

[crisp bane]

A GENIUS!!!!

[simple stream]

I had it for a while at start. ditched it once I got everything I needed and a fairly decent holo

[finite wharf]

new joker idea and its legendary. joker gets me beers from the fridge

[crisp bane]

im gonna be totally honest i dont play this game much

but every time i play holy i get incredibly lucky

bye every1

[signal frigate]

Try playing until you get to Gold Stake

[finite wharf]

on black deck

[signal frigate]

That's too cruel

We should let him try Plasma

[finite wharf]

no its easy just play it jokerless

[vocal rose]

plasma is the second worst deck

[heavy heron]

randomest build ever

[vocal rose]

thats not much better

[simple stream]

honestly I think 2 pair build was fairly optimal for black deck, specially cuz I have only 1 hand this whole time from an early -ante voucher :p

[signal frigate]

That's the joke

[vocal rose]

taking hieroglyph on black deck is a choice

[finite wharf]

optimal hand fpr every deck is clearly flush seven

[vocal rose]

it definitely is one

[simple stream]

plasma is bad? I've only played it twice but It seemed pretty decent tbh

[vocal rose]

2x blind requirement is ass

[heady narwhal]

play it 8 times on increasing stakes

[vocal rose]

though the effects really show purple stake+

[finite wharf]

its fun it just doesnt have the same mechanics so it plays differently strat wise ig

[simple stream]

okay

[heavy heron]

pivoting a reliance from chips to mult is rough

that transition is rough

or you go all chips… which is very rough too

[vocal rose]

all chips is fine purple stake and below

[heavy heron]

it’s fine gold too

it’s possible

[vocal rose]

its somewhat consistent

[simple stream]

true. I went all chips and thought it would hold me long enough but the pivot was realyyyyy harsh midgame

[vocal rose]

not consistently

[heady narwhal]

i think a lot of the time it's just Worse than a regular deck especially if you go all in on mult

[vocal rose]

theres only 2 chip jokers that can match the scaling requirements for purple stake+

otherwise you just run a 20% chance of passing away

which is WAY too high

[heady narwhal]

you need 6x as many chips as mult or vice versa for it to perform the same as a regular deck accounting for blind size

[rugged bloom]

if green joker is grimbo, then is blue joker bimbo?

[heady narwhal]

bloker

[simple stream]

eternal jokers are funny cuz they are like a buff to the spectral that duplicates and destroys

[vale wharf]

Never give Bipeks a double tag

[lunar zealot]

don't say that word

[devout stirrup]

do we think this run is winnable lol(i didnt know they dont sync up kms)

[simple stream]

are you going to get the 15 negative jokers that probably all suck?

[lunar zealot]

I mean

[devout stirrup]

to make matters worse i accidentally misclicked the eternal odd todd

aswell

[lunar zealot]

it's x3 mult

It's basically like having 3 shitty uncommons

[vocal rose]

thats

[devout stirrup]

yeah i mean i think doable if i dint accidentally grab the todd

[vocal rose]

hard to believe its an accident

[devout stirrup]

i hotkeyed

[lunar zealot]

just hold R girl

it's not worth it

[devout stirrup]

i have buy and sell on alt tab and bcuz its eteranl its cooked

[devout stirrup]

true

[lunar zealot]

Why????

huh??????

[simple stream]

its like 3.4 : O

[devout stirrup]

lowkey if they synced up id be down

[devout stirrup]

usually i dont alt tab when i play

[lunar zealot]

3.375

[devout stirrup]

hotkey is nice for campfire / astronomer

[lunar zealot]

no it aint

[simple stream]

nooooooo im meltiiiiiing

[lunar zealot]

just don't be lazy

[devout stirrup]

im not lazy

lol

i play to minmax

which takes hella time

so i cutdown with hotkeys it aint that serious

[simple stream]

im lazy

[unreal iron]

hi lazy

[simple stream]

not because of how I play the game, but because of how much I play instead of being productive

[vale wharf]

I didn't get a single negative tag, and I'll probably lose before I find one now 😭

[simple stream]

hi mysk

[unreal iron]

:3

[lunar zealot]

Yeah that's lazy

[vale wharf]

Surely I get bluestorm with this

[devout stirrup]

how im doing the same thing just more efficiently

[simple stream]

such are the risks of life

[vale wharf]

All those rares...

[lunar zealot]

VAGABOND

WEE

HRT

[simple stream]

hey if you do this everytime u will eventually get a negative showman followed by 15 negative blueprints

[lunar zealot]

VAGABOND AGAIN

BURNT

OBELISK

TRIBE

VAGABOND A THIRD TIME

TRIO

[unreal iron]

wow naming rares...

[lunar zealot]

BRAINSTORM

[unreal iron]

and you forget about bbc like that

[lunar zealot]

VAGABOND A FOURTH TIME

[unreal iron]

bbc would solve the run

[lunar zealot]

bbc is too good

It should be legendary

[unreal iron]

real

[devout stirrup]

i find the concept of rental ice cream to be funny

[vale wharf]

🤑 yes, you are ryte

[unreal iron]

you eat it and it costs you

[devout stirrup]

buying it on credit

[vale wharf]

Y'all, never spend $300 on rerolls

[devout stirrup]

castrated bull

[vale wharf]

Now I have black stake done on every deck except the worst one (erratic)

[simple stream]

erratic is OP

just get like 15 kings at start and play for 5 of a kind

[vale wharf]

Even when bootstraps is right there, everyone forgets it 💔

[jagged torrent]

Pause

[simple stream]

holy moly

its 4:30

am

[vale wharf]

You are a genyus 🛐

[simple stream]

good night yall

[vale wharf]

Good night, several people

[simple stream]

if you aren't trying to have a crazy winrate you can hold r to restart a new run and check ur deck each time till you get a good one

[vale wharf]

I'm playing on mobile 💔

[simple stream]

oof

[vale wharf]

Is there a way to transfer progress,?

[simple stream]

the plan stands, just less efficient

[tame sluice]

[obsidian patrol]

No

[devout stirrup]

also i want to note im on a laptop that runs terribly ... hotkeys make the game playable on trackpad. played with mouse for 800 hours. I didn't use anything of the sort till now but playing on trackpad is unbearably slow lol

[lunar zealot]

Why didn't you lead with that?????????

[devout stirrup]

because i hadnt htought of it

until i realized

[lunar zealot]

i wasn't even mad until now but you're withholding information and now using it as a gotcha 😭

my god

[devout stirrup]

no no

it wasnt a gotcha

im sry

i legit just

came to new insight

[vale wharf]

Bruhhhhh, erratic deck makes me want to delete the game

It's so bad

[devout stirrup]

when i was back home over break i actually disabled them because it felt weird

my chungus autistic life :(

[pale wolf]

are on android looking to transfer to steam

god mod creators are so good at art wtf

[slate lance]

It can make 3 4 and 5 oaks way easier but it lowkey messes with my brain sometimes

I dont like messy numbers 😔

[hollow ledge]

Gaysex

[unreal iron]

and you hate painted deck when its prime 3oak/4oak setup potential 😔

i do prefer straights at least early but yk

[slate lance]

Because painted is for nerds

[unreal iron]

well consider me the nerdiest of nerds

i love painted deck

not as much as erratic probably

but its up there as one of my faves :3

[slate lance]

I prefer ghost and green

Theyre my favs

[devout stirrup]

i love painted deck

[slate lance]

Yall dont get it 💔

[devout stirrup]

painted deck superposition shop 1 one of my favorite starts

[slate lance]

Also painted is the worst for doing c++ which im doing rn

[devout stirrup]

this is true

but by the same logic black deck is the best for c++

[unreal iron]

i exclusively played painted deck for my last 5 or 6 jokers

[devout stirrup]

idk u can kinda just solo painted with saturn and a few chariots

can use all 4 slots for stickers

[slate lance]

Do u love torturing yrself?

[unreal iron]

its not good when doing c++ duh 4 jokers when you can have 5?

[slate lance]

Well no

Either anaglyph or ghost id

U can get the most negatives

[unreal iron]

i have 2 c++ and 300 hours in the game what do you think

[slate lance]

Probably 😭

[devout stirrup]

yeah i mean this can work but its cheest

[slate lance]

Wait u have done c++ twice

With only 300 hourz

[unreal iron]

yep

yep

[devout stirrup]

imo best way is to just pick ur favorite deck that u can win on

[slate lance]

How the fuck

[devout stirrup]

consistently

[slate lance]

I hace like 240 hours and i dont even have one c++

[unreal iron]

first c++ took 200 hours technically cuz i needed to unlock literally everything

2nd took 60 hours only

[slate lance]

Howwww

[slate lance]

Yeah fair

[unreal iron]

unlock all

[slate lance]

Did u get c+ on that account too

[unreal iron]

of course :3

[slate lance]

Man idk how

[unreal iron]

i have at least 1 win on every deck on that account

[slate lance]

C+ takes forever cause u gotta do all yhe previous stakes too

Which takes a bit

[unreal iron]

again i used unlock all for my 2nd account

[devout stirrup]

i have c++ on my pc and got it at like 400 hours i think and i have it on my phone but idk how to check time there

[slate lance]

Oh wait does unlock all give gold stake unlock early

[unreal iron]

yeah it does all the stakes

[pale wolf]

c+ is just 15 wins

its really not a huge thing

[unreal iron]

yeah

[slate lance]

Hopefully for me I'll get it by like 300 at least

[pale wolf]

an app called my apps time

[devout stirrup]

i played like 200h of endless trying to do the silly naninf before i started going for c++

[slate lance]

Ik i was just surprised he got c+ AND c++ in 60 hours hntil i learnt unlock all skips all the pre gold stakes

[devout stirrup]

75h of which were prob spent staring at animations playing out

[slate lance]

How did yall get so good at the game so fast

[unreal iron]

at least my gold stake win rate was double that of my first account :3

27%...

[devout stirrup]

my dad has like over 2k hours, he plays alot and loves the game but he just leaves it up on his laptop throughout the school day

[pale wolf]

i think im smart

[unreal iron]

you can imagine how bad it was on the first one

[slate lance]

Ofc with more experience youll be better

[devout stirrup]

has wr idle hours lol

[slate lance]

Im not dumb tho

I am smart

[unreal iron]

im dumb

checkmate

[slate lance]

😭

[pale wolf]

yea if the only thing you're doing is gold stakes 60 hours is reasonable, my first c++ was 69h from first ti last sticker

[slate lance]

2k on balatro!?

[devout stirrup]

he prob has 500ish active hours

he just doesnt turn the game off while he teaches

[slate lance]

I havent been recording time lowkey but i got c+ like 5 or 6 hours of gameplay before rn

[slate lance]

Oh fair enough lmao

[devout stirrup]

also lowkey ive walked in on him having fallen asleep with it open 2

[slate lance]

Ive probably gathered up a couple afk hours too

I leave it on sometimes while i go to the shops or stuff like that

[unreal iron]

i mean if youre going to go through the whole thing of unlocking everything THEN doing gold stickers etc you do need more than 60 hours

double or triple that

[slate lance]

Yeah ofc

[pale wolf]

if hes leaving it open 6 hours a day and then sometimes during night, he does NOT have 500 active hours out of 2000

[left juniper]

The push for 500 continues

[slate lance]

Why do i never see any playstation players

Sigh

[unreal iron]

lowkey quit balatro just to play ror2

i love roguelikes

[pale wolf]

my first c++ was finished at 146h total playtime

[slate lance]

Holy shit i love ror2

I had it 100% before seekers of the storm came out

[unreal iron]

i suck so bad at it can you give me tips

or something

i just play huntress

[slate lance]

Man i havent played in months

Idk what to tell u 😭

[pale wolf]

i played ror2 a long time ago, i liked the archer guy that you dont have to aim with

[slate lance]

Do u have any other survivor unlocked?

[unreal iron]

aka huntress

[slate lance]

Its a girl

[unreal iron]

i got MUL-T i wanna try out

and i dont remember the other survivors

i have 4 more

[devout stirrup]

i played ror2 for 5 hours before my gf at the time made us install mods and then i played 200h modded. tried unmodded 1 time at that point and felt like id been shot in the chest

[minor portal]

Bandit is the goat personally

[slate lance]

Do try him! Always try the new survivors u get to see if u like their playstyle
Like the only tips i can give u is keep good track of ur time as difficulty scales with TIME not just level

[devout stirrup]

loader is the goat tho

[slate lance]

If ur not getting a good ratio of chests : time taken

Ur probably not doing good

[unreal iron]

wait i had a really good run but i died to the final boss

give me a second

[slate lance]

Mythrix?

[unreal iron]

yeah 2nd phase

[minor portal]

yeah yeah find a focus crystal printer

[slate lance]

With the chimeras or actually fighting him?

[unreal iron]

look

100% crit my beloved

[devout stirrup]

i only have like 10h on him ... lowkey i have 160 hours on modded jinx from league

[slate lance]

That is good

I just think you'll get better with time lol thats how i got better

[unreal iron]

3h so far

ig it makes sense

[slate lance]

Lemme check my steam

[minor portal]

ror2 is fun

until the game crashes.

[slate lance]

200 hours

On it

[slate lance]

Necer had that happen lol

[slate lance]

My fav is captain

[unreal iron]

it gets really laggy the more enemies are on the screen

[slate lance]

U dont have him yet tho

[unreal iron]

i might?

[slate lance]

Have u won

[unreal iron]

i do remember hovering over a captain

[unreal iron]

oh no

no i didnt

[slate lance]

Actually i forgot what the thing is for captain

[unreal iron]

maybe it was commander actually

[slate lance]

Maybe its winning maybe not

[slate lance]

Probably

[minor portal]

I'm pretty sure it is

[slate lance]

My fav is captain my 2nd fav would probably be

One of tje dlc characters

The sniper.girl

[minor portal]

the rail gunner

or whatever

[slate lance]

Yess

[unreal iron]

thinking of getting the dlc

[minor portal]

I hit a trick shot once

[slate lance]

Its worth it

Only void tho

[unreal iron]

its expensive tho

[slate lance]

Dont buy sots

Trust

Its ass

[minor portal]

Is that the new one?

[slate lance]

The old new one

Theres a 3rd dlc

That just came out

Idk about it i hacent played it

[slate lance]

I think at least

Or soon

[minor portal]

I get my dlc for free

because I download it from a friend's account

[slate lance]

Fair enough

I bought myne

I was rlly disappointed with sots when i bought it

The boss imo is a bit unfair at times

And i swear its not a skill issue please 😭

[minor portal]

I only recently started playing it again

[slate lance]

Like theres this bit where u need to find cover but the thing is theres barely any

[minor portal]

oh from the giant laser

[slate lance]

Yeahh

Meanwhile the mf falze son chases u around

[minor portal]

It isn't a skill issue that boss just sucks

[slate lance]

Thank you

Im probably not gonna play ror2 again tho since i got everything in the non shit dlc's

[minor portal]

I looped twice before even considering fighting that stupid thing

[slate lance]

Maybe i fan try do the like

Difficulties that scale

Like stakes from balatro

I forgot what it was called

[unreal iron]

ive seen crazy ass gameplay on monsoon

genuinely stacked characters and on the screen its like seeing a balatro naneinf unfold

so many numbers

everything is big and flashy

[slate lance]

U shouldnr play monsoon for a little bit

Also if youd like some help seeing like different items and which one u like

Get the artefact of command asap

If i had to rate all the roguelikes ive played

1. Inscryption
2. Ror2
3. Balatro
4. Cult of the lamb
5. Risk of Rain Returns
6. Blue prince
7. Moonlighter

Hades is on sale rn so im thinking of trying it too

[jagged torrent]

Ah yes throw back x madness synergy

🫃

[proper bronze]

xmult x xmult

[cursive crater]

no dead cells?

[slate lance]

I tried it for a couple minutes and i didnt like it

So i didnt play ot

[slate lance]

Wouldnt it be an antisyneryy tho lol
The more u skip the less x mult u get for madness
The less u skip the less x mult u get for throwback

One increases at the price of the other and they both cannot increase on boss blinds

[jagged torrent]

It was a jest 😔

[slate lance]

Whats that

[jagged torrent]

I was merly indulging in tomfoolery

[slate lance]

Ohh ok

[vocal rose]

bruh

[acoustic kettle]

if jimbo is +4 mult why is half a jimbo +20 mult

[cursive crater]

he made a cursed contract

[deft panther]

Ive reached orange stake on green deck

The -1 discard is rough for my smooth brain

[cursive crater]

burger agrees

[deft panther]

Because the top half is +2 and the bottom half is 0 since it's not there, thus +2 0

[acoustic kettle]

makes sense

[bronze walrus]

I've seen some people like myself having trouble with framerate on mobile Balatro when playing on newer phones, is this a known issue?

[cursive crater]

i have it aswell

its running on like 30 fps for me

idk why though

[hazy epoch]

im so confused, so does plasma deck dooo...??? does it try to make the + and x the same number?

[cursive crater]

yeah,it balances out chips and mult

[hazy epoch]

ahhh okay thats sick

[cursive crater]

lets say your score is 50x100

makes it 75x75

[hazy epoch]

mmm okay makes sense

so if its 10k and 1 it would bne like 5k both roughly

[cursive crater]

yeah

so go for chips early game

[hazy epoch]

if i have a X mult card does it apply to both?

[cursive crater]

it applies x mult and then balances after

[hazy epoch]

yoo sick

[bronze walrus]

I WISH it was 30 fps

[cursive crater]

it drops down to like 10 if you open it right after you were using another app

[pale wolf]

just restart the app

it takes like 15 seconds

[cursive crater]

yeah but like

shouldnt happen in the first place

[pale wolf]

It's an annoying issue because of a memory leak

Yes true

[bronze walrus]

you really think I didn't do that

I even reinstalled it

it lags so bad

bigger games run smoothly on my phone

[pale wolf]

oh, That's strange

usually it only happens after re-entering the app, your case is unusual

[bronze walrus]

I don't know I hate this so much

[lunar zealot]

No fuckjng way . Abseball car dfrom the game balaro

[pale wolf]

what phone are you using? have you checked in the settings for any power saving/gaming options?

[cerulean flare]

rate da setup

[pale wolf]

[vale shale]

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

[lunar zealot]

Black

[vale shale]

Blak

[lunar zealot]

magic

[vale shale]

You said blavk

[willow frost]

black like magic

[proper bronze]

blue

[acoustic kettle]

palsma

[civic stone]

I have planned a strategy for perkoeless ante 39 that involves getting at least one natural negative BP/BS/mime/baron

And 2 beans and 2 cryptids

[spark storm]

Is this an okay spot to ask beginner questions? Trying to learn the game

[wheat haven]

I think so 🙂

[spark storm]

Only up to black stake rn, what’s best order for jokers to be in?

From what I know eternal lusty joker is a little mid but I was pretty sure I’d die without it

Any tips would be amazing

[wheat haven]

For your current set up I dont think joker order matters, all your jokers get activated while the cards are being scored, not after

[proper bronze]

+mult first xmult last

[spark storm]

Oh okay cool! I think I’m over thinking it lol

[wheat haven]

but yes^ normally you want +mult jokers to the left of X mult jokers

[spark storm]

Yee, got that much

[proper turtle]

fortune teller or raised fist?

[simple jacinth]

how big is fortune teller?

[proper turtle]

+13

[simple jacinth]

It probably doesn't matter, I think it's raised fist either way, but definitely

my rationale is that Raised is at best +44 (with a red seal ace) but typically +20 (with a face)

so you can scale past that, but either way, you want to be going ham on planets to get that Photochad up

[proper turtle]

yeah red seal would be cool but its quite some work to get that, so fortune teller is better here

hallucination helps scaling fortune teller too

[tranquil field]

what hands are you playing

[proper turtle]

high card

[simple jacinth]

it'll grow not to matter after a while anyway with photochad

That mult will be applied after it's done its work

I should probably get Balatro ready for mods on PC again, Qualatro makes me want to play again

[tranquil field]

you're obviously much better than me then lmfao
