[honest dawn]

But a high card is still very good

[serene forge]

me when i'm onto absolutely nothing:

[void topaz]

like

hes not wrong

but like yeah?

[wintry ice]

in ehat world are you not keeping him to lategane

[void topaz]

selling a planet card for 7 bucks feels homphobic

[serene forge]

smartest dna user be like

[void topaz]

WAIT SWASHBUCKLER GOES CRAZY HERE

bro im so poor

ok so if i have 2 stencils

how much xmult does the new joker have to be

to be worth

[wintry ice]

"hardest boss" bro has not heard of self control

[void topaz]

VERDANT LEAF WERE THROUGH LETS GOOO

well not yet

but propably

NO WAY

FUCKK

I LOST BY 2K POINTS

i cant do math in my head ok thats my streak gone

[honest dawn]

I recently learned that the Glass Joker, if you destroy glass cards, wins the xmulti game automatically; they don't need to break on their own.

I don't know if it was translated correctly

XD

[void topaz]

theres swashagain lets go

[desert quiver]

Stuntsman is really good early game when you have something like half joker for free mult.

When you have that combo it’s hard to play a hand that loses as long as you meet the mult requirement.

[honest dawn]

He loses some of his impact in the end, but he's still a good card Joker, and I think he's also a good pivot.

[desert quiver]

I think once you get past ante 8 stuntsman is ridiculously outclassed and it’s not worth losing steel card slots over.

[honest dawn]

I don't know if it was translated correctly, I think the "cheaps" part wasn't.

[void topaz]

temeprance is EATING

[honest dawn]

It depends on the case; if you want to make a sticker on it in gold stake, then it's worth it, haha.

[desert quiver]

I love stuntsman either way, one of my favorite cards.

[honest dawn]

My favorite Joker is the mime

It's so good

[void topaz]

VAGABOND IS SO GOOD ON THIS CHALLENGE

THE CONSUMABLES SELL FOR 7 DOLLARS

[hybrid tendon]

ermmmm what the sigma

what should I do ?

[keen pilot]

I just won Balatro (totally unseeded)
I set up an infinite loop of emperors and fools by getting every negative copy of tarots, so I theoretically can get infinite money, infinite poker levels, or (not-quite) inifinite jokers, since you can get nat negatives from justice
This also means infinitely scaling fortune teller, bull, bootstraps, constellation and campfire

[void topaz]

ok maybe inflation is hard

[keen pilot]

I say not-quite infinite jokers because showman ruins the infinite loop, meaning you have to sell it, so it's limited to 150 jokers lol

[shell dagger]

n^2/(n-1)^2

where n is current stencil mult value

[void topaz]

lets say its at x4

so itll become x3

[shell dagger]

1.77x

[wheat haven]

Does anyone have tips for what hands to go for on jokerless? Ive been struggling

[serene forge]

lesbian

[shell dagger]

straight or 4oak are the most recommended

for da planet

[simple stream]

this felt personal

[void topaz]

ok so a polychrome doesnt do it

this is good info to have

[shell dagger]

it almost does when stencil is at 5x

and it does on black deck

[wheat haven]

I'll give straights a go again, Ive got a good start on money'

[opal delta]

jimball

[hardy steppe]

Someone tell me if the double Mr.Bones wild ride bug still works before i throw this run for the lul

[slate lance]

I fucking hate anaglyph man

I cant aeem to win on u5

It

[honest dawn]

Which bug?

[hardy steppe]

Something about decking out on a boss blind while having 2 Mr.Bones will scale pass Ante 39

[keen pilot]

I don't know, but one thing I heard is that you have to lose in a specific way, I believe it should be done through discarding all your deck, but I'm not sure, so please double check

[hardy steppe]

I remember reading about it on reddit a while back

[wheat haven]

Please help I really dont wanna throw this again 😭 Do i try and get the jack?

[keen pilot]

Jokerless?

[wheat haven]

yeah

[keen pilot]

Oh, yeah, I see 0/0

[tender hill]

Yea

[simple stream]

a 10/2 invisible joker should give 5 copies

[wheat haven]

🥹

[tender hill]

play the hand

[keen pilot]

Yeah, that's what I would do
I was about to point out you have 3 spade cards, but realised that spade flush is literally impossible here lmao

[forest rose]

I can never escape it

[keen pilot]

Embrace the photochad

[tired kestrel]

Gaychad

[void topaz]

ok i beat inflation

what a roster

WHT

its jokerless plus wtf is this

oh nvm buffoon packs

we good

[slate lance]

Question

Does hieroglyph

Change the skip tags

Im gonna hope it doesnt

[keen pilot]

Well, it doesn't change the boss blind, so you can even get an ante 8 boss on ante 7 if you buy hieroglyph
I'd guess same applies to tags
Haven't tested tho

[uncut matrix]

all it does is lower the ante number by 1

nothing else changes, if youre in ante 8 when you activate it it just rerolls the final boss next ante but you have to fight 2 final bosses now

[dark cairn]

polychrome gros michel in ante 2, oh boy

[void topaz]

boom challenge done first try

this singular blue seal got me to lvl 10

what a team player

[wheat haven]

I think I've finally done it 🥹

[void topaz]

goattt

lvl 44 is crazy lol

[wheat haven]

Almost

[void topaz]

if only you had 5 more hands

[ivory panther]

-# I just joined this server today and am fighting for my life to beat gold stake meanwhile people are over here going jokerless

[simple stream]

guh

the dreaded plant

kills my run in ante 7

[wheat haven]

🪴

[forest rose]

Does this voucher technically decrease the chance of negatives?

[humble gulch]

What

[simple stream]

finally thought I was gunna beat this dang black deck

[wheat haven]

hey if you're already on gold stake you're doing good 🫡

[simple stream]

so true

[simple stream]

im not sure, it depends on how priorities work when cards roll if they will have an effect

[ivory panther]

Black deck is my last one and I am really regretting leaving it to the end

[simple stream]

black is so hard

thats what im doing rn

[ivory panther]

It’s making me mad I’ve been sitting here for 3 hours getting just past early game then flopping🥀

[slate lance]

5th win of the day

6 gold stickers!!

[simple stream]

sameee. what stake are u on?

[ivory panther]

Gold, it’s my last deck to beat

You’re on green? Or just playing a game in green

[void topaz]

all my cards break?

i call that deckfixing

[simple stream]

green black deck, I've got a ways to go. I've only beaten gold once so far

[void topaz]

2 .6 BILLION

jokers btw

[simple stream]

I said 3 hours but its probably more like 1 and I got a win too

[slate lance]

Wheres all the luck based jokers

Aww

[void topaz]

i had 8 ball

[slate lance]

Ok thats good

[void topaz]

free tarots

[slate lance]

Im.guessing that didnt last ery long tho

[void topaz]

but then i realised i didnt need it

i skipped alot

[slate lance]

Fair

[void topaz]

chad and trio kinda solod

[slate lance]

I forgot how i did my fragile run.ngl but i did it easily

Wait i think i got a pic

[void topaz]

no yeah fragiles easy

its like the fun one

itd be hard if it went to ante 10 i think

OH FUCK ITS OBELISK

[slate lance]

This was myne

[void topaz]

glass joker makes sense

THREE CARDS

wtf is rocket doing here

[slate lance]

I mean yeah thats literally the fastest stacking shit ever

[slate lance]

Econ 😛

And uncommon

[void topaz]

i played like 3 cards per round to preserve them

[slate lance]

I had baseball

[void topaz]

dawg the baseball card mult is not needed

[slate lance]

So what

The more mult the better gng

[void topaz]

lowkey chips are what matteres

you have the mult sorted

look at your deck

and like you guranteed to find your 4oak

you can littearly just play 8 4oaks and win

wait im gonna try that

that actually sounds fun

[slate lance]

Go on

[slate lance]

Idk if its guaranteed lol

Digging through to find a 4 oak can be challenging

But after you've broken a lot then yeah its guaranteed

I had most fun on monolith

[dark cairn]

rocket my beloved

it is hard carrying my yellow deck gold stake run rn

[slate lance]

We do love rocket

[void topaz]

instantly missed a 4oak but 3oak wins but its fine

[slate lance]

Yeah

[slate lance]

So happy i got this run lowket

[void topaz]

ok maybe drawing the 4oak isnt easy

[slate lance]

Went from 73 to 79 just like that

I love card sharp!!!

Thats my fav joker from now on

[slate lance]

Yeah

Its only easy on erratic and MAYBE painted

[void topaz]

FIRST HAND IS DRAWN FACE DOWN

[slate lance]

Get a death or smt

Or just discard

[void topaz]

no its fine 3oak won again

[dark cairn]

and i die to the flint because this game is dogshit, thanks localthunk

[void topaz]

just beat the flint with ANOTHER 3OAK

[dark cairn]

of course any time i get a good run going it has to spawn the worst boss possible at the worst possible time

what the fuck else is new

[void topaz]

START WITH 0 DISCARDS

[dark cairn]

game is skill based btw

[void topaz]

its fine 3oak won

bro

im gonna winwith 8 3oaks

ok that one took 2 3oaks

[slate lance]

Ehy do ppl hate full house

I dont understand

[void topaz]

its like

not worth

[slate lance]

I think its worth

[white zodiac]

fh when there are two better existing alternative poker hands

[slate lance]

It works with the duo the trio any two pair koker

[void topaz]

anyway i beat fragile in 9 3oaks

[slate lance]

Like what

[white zodiac]

in practically every other scenario

2 pair/3oak

[void topaz]

what a game

[slate lance]

They both scale slower

[void topaz]

18 cards left in the deck and a dream

im suprised its all the way down at 18 i skipped every blind lol

except the first 2

[white zodiac]

scaling is irrelevant when they’re practically easier to deck fix for and in harder decks

also 3oak scales the same as fh

[slate lance]

Starts lower tho

[void topaz]

full house is goofy to build for too

like the deckfixings cringe

[slate lance]

I will keep defending my baby

[white zodiac]

who cares how it starts

[slate lance]

Full house cartied me through jokerless

Im not letting its name be spat on

[void topaz]

straight players when you ask them how to deck fix

[white zodiac]

he does good in practice when i play the gold stake streaks

circumcise the ends

end ranks

[slate lance]

The deck fix is getting a shortcut or four fingers

[void topaz]

i play flush house on first pvp blind fr

[slate lance]

Pvp?

Oh mods

[void topaz]

yeah its ball knowledge lol

[slate lance]

Im on playstation

[white zodiac]

that’s for strush usually going late game but yeah sure that’s another way

[void topaz]

you can easily play flush house on second ante boss blind with a suit changer tarot

[slate lance]

Strush?

[void topaz]

straight flush

[white zodiac]

yeah

[slate lance]

Oh

I mean shortcur is good on any straight build tho

Makes it consistent

[white zodiac]

it’s not required to make straights work

it’s just

nice to have short term

[slate lance]

Honestly like whenever i dont have it and i play straights

I have one game where i dont pull my winning straight

And i lose

[unreal island]

Hi balatcord

[slate lance]

Hiya

[void topaz]

i just died ante 1 on the monolith

the obelisk just like

infects my brain

[nova mantle]

do i pick the negative pile of trash or the positive gold ingot

[void topaz]

i mean you gotta

you simply must

[white zodiac]

that’s the expected outcome when you’re left econ dry and -1 discard

[slate lance]

Have u done jokerless yet

[void topaz]

uhh not the challenge but like i bassicaly did it on knifes edge

[slate lance]

Sybau goofy ahh

[nova mantle]

[unborn cliff]

[slate lance]

I hate photo

[unborn cliff]

[slate lance]

I refuse to get an actual photo goldstake win

[void topaz]

me when i get planted once

[slate lance]

Im gonna get it on a negative or smt

[void topaz]

me when i lose to the plant with my 5 triboulets

[slate lance]

Face card players

Such chuds

[simple stream]

whats a chud

[unborn cliff]

"photochad is awesome its the best synergy in the game"
gets planted once
"photochad sucks its the worst synergy in the game"

[void topaz]

ive been brainrotted by balatro multplayer

[slate lance]

I have no idea

[unborn cliff]

a fat loser

pretty much

[void topaz]

cause like the goal in multiplayer is to make your whole deck face cards

no one actually does it

but thats the goal

[slate lance]

Hey being fat isnt rlly any reason to make fun of someone

[void topaz]

i meannn

[slate lance]

Chud could be just a redditor or smt

[slate lance]

What do u mean

[unborn cliff]

yeah all redditors are chuds

but not all chuds are redditors

[void topaz]

hmmm

[slate lance]

I only go on reddit for... reasons

[void topaz]

we understand

[unborn cliff]

🔛

[slate lance]

😭 noooo

[void topaz]

i too was 16

[slate lance]

Its uhh r/balatro

Yeahhh

[unborn cliff]

the only valid reason to use r*ddit

[slate lance]

Im 17 ya chud

[void topaz]

same thing

[slate lance]

Nuh uh

[unborn cliff]

auntie over here

[white zodiac]

there’s nothing useful in that subreddit

[void topaz]

theres like yaoi

[slate lance]

Bluestorm yuri >>>

[simple stream]

I found some weird stuff on reddit when I was like 17-18 and now I don't go on there much

[cosmic sun]

r/kitchencels

[unborn cliff]

r/balatro

baron mime, photochad, here win, gets planted, dies, repeast

[simple stream]

[cosmic sun]

some actual diamonds in the rough when it comes to reddit subs

[unborn cliff]

r/vexillologycirclejerk

[slate lance]

I genuinely have seen the most god awful shit ever on reddit

[void topaz]

i remember i wanted to see something about minecraft hardcore and looked up hardcore on reddit

i didnt use reddit after that for a while

[slate lance]

Oh deer

[cosmic sun]

yes, r/balatro exists

or their meme subs

or many gaming subs

[white zodiac]

r/fiftyfifty

[unborn cliff]

Ive honestly not been on there much
Maybe only when i was new ans trying to get better

[unborn cliff]

r/banvideogames

r/suburbanhell

[void topaz]

wtf is marble joker doing here btw

how do these synergise

[cosmic sun]

NO NO NO

AAAAGH

[simple stream]

back in 2018 I found the sussest amongus content on reddit and then I quit

[distant vault]

Damn

[white zodiac]

unconditional chip joker

[void topaz]

dawg

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE

A POLYCHROME SKIP

YOU HAVE A HEX

[distant vault]

I like gambling

[white zodiac]

two hexes

[void topaz]

WTF DOES THAT MEAN

[slate lance]

Whats yalls fav chip joker

[distant vault]

Oh no im gambling in a poker roguelike!!!

[slate lance]

Scaling and flat

[void topaz]

oh your gambling that its eternal

ok i get it now

[white zodiac]

mmm hiker and stunt

[simple stream]

hiker or burned (if u count burned)

[void topaz]

no its marble not stone

[distant vault]

What

[white zodiac]

ik what i said

[void topaz]

theres a conditio

[slate lance]

Burnt isnt rlly a chip joker as it also raises mult

[void topaz]

i need to play a stone card

[distant vault]

I like castle

[slate lance]

Thats fair

[white zodiac]

not restricted to one hand type

[void topaz]

no you dont

[slate lance]

For me i think

[distant vault]

I dislike square

[void topaz]

it does restrict your hand type though

not restricted to one

[slate lance]

Bulls probably my fav scaling

[unborn cliff]

and THIS is why i dont go on reddit!

[void topaz]

but it is restricting

[white zodiac]

not enough to matter for me

[slate lance]

Does blue joker count as flat chips

[void topaz]

its still conditional

[potent tree]

why am i failing so badly at gold stake red deck...

[white zodiac]

no

[void topaz]

unlucky

thats gotta be it

[distant vault]

Square is not it

[void topaz]

no other possible answerds

[potent tree]

i'm trying my best to avoid flushes this savefile

[white zodiac]

decision optimizing flaw

[potent tree]

only emergencies necessitate flushes

[void topaz]

and ante 1

playing 4 flushes ante 1 is goated

[simple stream]

my other favorite is aces

[potent tree]

maybe i'm too fixated on straights

[void topaz]

ohhh

we have found the underlying root of the problem

straights are ass

[unborn cliff]

heterosexual people:

[simple stream]

straights are like the worst hand to go for

[distant vault]

Flash card haters in shambles

[unborn cliff]

everyone in june:

[void topaz]

thats just stencil being goated

[unborn cliff]

i beat jokerless with straights

[void topaz]

any +mult will do

[white zodiac]

my gf after one bad day

[serene forge]

how did you manage to make bootstraps but even shittier

[simple stream]

thats amazing

[distant vault]

Wait, sets money to zero when

After shop?

[unborn cliff]

now what if it was xmult and scaled by 0.1 per 2 dollars

[distant vault]

On buying?

[simple stream]

wouldn't flush or 5 of a kind or something scale wayyy better?

[unborn cliff]

and made it rare

[slate lance]

Scholar?

[simple stream]

idk bruh

what's a scholar

[shell dagger]

flush scales 3x slower

the planet

[void topaz]

how many pairs should i be doing for obelisk?

[slate lance]

Joker that makes aces give 20 chips and 4 mult

[distant vault]

3

[simple stream]

yes

[shell dagger]

5oak is only like 1.15x faster than straight

[white zodiac]

14 if you’re new

[slate lance]

6 7 if ur old

[void topaz]

ok im doing 15

[simple stream]

that's actually tech, thx

[shell dagger]

91 to be safe

[slate lance]

Ngl i think like 12 is too little

Ok tbf i remember that run i had stuntman

[shell dagger]

it also depends when u pivot

[void topaz]

alright im at 15

[simple stream]

but it's easier to fix your deck around 5 of a kind than straights (I think)

[slate lance]

If u have stuntman do NOT go only to 12

[shell dagger]

bc it isn’t unreasonable to have played 15 pairs by the middle of ante 2

[white zodiac]

yeah

[shell dagger]

at that point go 4oak

[simple stream]

actually fair

[shell dagger]

straights have the benefit of being able to reasonably be drawn in ante 1, 4oak have the benefit of being easier to fix for

the planet is the same so just go with whatever is easiest

[white zodiac]

without planet/shop bloat

[slate lance]

When is buny joker coming

[shell dagger]

2027

[slate lance]

2067?

[white zodiac]

#fatshamingisback

[shell dagger]

shut it piggy

[slate lance]

Fat shaming isnt ok

Like actually

[white zodiac]

yeah she’s def 17

[simple stream]

it never left

[slate lance]

Cause i support not making fun of ppl for doing nothing wrong?

Yes it might not be the healthiest for their body but thats their choice

Not ur problem is it

[white zodiac]

because you made two brain rot jokes within the span of four minutes

[slate lance]

Someone mentioned 67 so its been on my mind

[void topaz]

i think its in human nature to want people to do things good for them

[slate lance]

I usually hate the 67 meme

[white zodiac]

yeah sure ok

[slate lance]

And shaming & bullying them wont help that

[void topaz]

i meannn

[slate lance]

If anything itll depress them more

[void topaz]

it has in the past

[shell dagger]

guys let’s steer the conversation away from this and towards my homework

[void topaz]

and it will again

[white zodiac]

it’ll certainly make them do something about it

[slate lance]

Which can cause worse issues too

Like eating disorders

[white zodiac]

what do you need help with

[shell dagger]

motivation

[white zodiac]

um

[shell dagger]

I can do the assignment

[distant vault]

WHERE ARE THE TAROTS

[shell dagger]

it’s just after midnight and I want my beauty sleep

[distant vault]

WTF

[void topaz]

then do it tommorow?

[distant vault]

IVE FOUND 2

[void topaz]

just do it at like 2pm

[white zodiac]

i’m gonna play a run in a few minutes, do hw then

[shell dagger]

it’s due tomorrow morning 💔

[void topaz]

dawg

do it before class

ive done that like 12 times

[shell dagger]

classes have all finished

and it’s matlab

[simple stream]

if you let somebody do something that is bad for themselves that's called enabling. whether that's overeating often and not excercising or if its drug use. If you care about someone it's your job to help them take care of themselves. granted, bullying ain't the best answer for a lot of people, but for some people fat jokes can be motivating and helpful

[white zodiac]

do it during transit

[void topaz]

holy chatgpt

[shell dagger]

chaptpgpt isn’t gonna say aint

[simple stream]

?

do people just not type anything longer than 2 sentences without using ai now days?

[void topaz]

not on discord

[distant vault]

Dead

[white zodiac]

or have a dependent clause as its own sentence

[shell dagger]

It can feel that way lately, but it’s not quite that simple.
A few things are going on:

1. People are using AI as a writing shortcut.
   A lot of long posts, essays, reviews, and even emails are now drafted or polished with AI because it’s fast and removes the friction of starting from scratch.
2. Many people prefer short-form communication now.
   Social platforms (TikTok, X/Twitter, Instagram, messaging apps) train people to write in quick bursts instead of paragraphs. Attention spans have shifted.

[slate lance]

When u say fat shaming that generally means making the person feel bad and connotates it might not be helpful
If someone doesnt want you making mean comments n bullying them for no reason u shouldnt

[void topaz]

lmao

[slate lance]

I only bully ppl for being right wing

Thats a good reason

[white zodiac]

damn that’s where my humanities class was at a couple years ago

[slate lance]

Wdym

[shell dagger]

i bully people if they’re little pipsqueaks

that’s it

bash their heads in

jk

[slate lance]

I bully ppl if they think photograph is any good

[distant vault]

Worst fortune teller ever

[slate lance]

Genuinely tho why take a space joker with a stencil

[distant vault]

To have fun

[slate lance]

Ok fair ig

😭

[distant vault]

Surprised i got that far

[slate lance]

Today i got 13 stickers across 5 runs im happy w that

[lunar zealot]

Ask me about baseball card

[simple stream]

for sure, I agree that shaming random people you don't know is a bad idea and probably demoralizes more people than it helps. My main thing is the idea that if someone wants to live unhealthily I should just let them no matter what. Only defense I have against the fat shaming is for specific people who it would help and who would genuinely want that kind of motivation (most of those people are fat guys) I just know a few people who lost weight because of that and while it might not be the best option for most people that doesn't mean it can't work

[simple stream]

bro and his bbc obsession 💀

[compact gazelle]

ok well
if theyre normal about it and trying to improve thats one thing
but if theyre gonna be obnoxious about it & call that body positivity im absolutely gonna bully them for it because thats delusional

[slate lance]

I mean if someone doesnt mind the jokes and finds them.helpful its fine

[compact gazelle]

same deal here i will bully them if and only if theyre obnoxious about it

[slate lance]

Im just saying bullying can lead to mental health issues

[slate lance]

Being right wing in it of itself is obnoxious

[compact gazelle]

i bully the people who already have a different kind of mental issue

it all works out

[slate lance]

Wdym

[void topaz]

i get to beat monolith with rocks

yipee

[compact gazelle]

i have some friends who are left wing and some who are right wing and i dont bully them for it cause they arent loudly discriminatory

[river compass]

135 wow

[compact gazelle]

theyre just normal people

[hardy fable]

in ante 2 wth

[uncut matrix]

how did you get so many this early

[hardy fable]

wait nah

ante 3 no?

[void topaz]

no cause like some people are like super nice and then they turn around after saving somebodys life risking their own and go like. and thats why i voted for trump

[hardy fable]

man I forgot white stake scaling

[river compass]

Ante 2

[slate lance]

Yeah but like i cant rlly like someone that doesn't support me having rights (im trans)

[compact gazelle]

if someones fat and theyre annoying about it acting like its a good thing they have other more severe mental problems than whatever i can give em

[hardy fable]

ohhh sleeve mod

[uncut matrix]

oh this is modded

boo

[void topaz]

they couldnt just let us have 2 good jokers of the bat they had to give us 4 joker slots

[slate lance]

I mean if they wanna think its a good thing why should u care

[river compass]

its crazy btw

[slate lance]

It doesnt rlly affect u

[compact gazelle]

you can be right wing and still accept everyone theres nothing saying otherwise
me personally i want anarchy :3

[void topaz]

why are these banned?

[simple stream]

I think there's also some level of brainrot from the teen covid survivors being in isolation, and they have a harder time with longer or more detailed communication as a whole. I am a freshman in college rn and from what I have seen and heard the average grade for freshmen has gone down to like 60% across all classes

[void topaz]

you dont actually want anarchy

[white zodiac]

makes it easier :3

[compact gazelle]

i dont wanna have their health issue paraded around in front of my face like its a positive thing
its not healthy and they should try to lose some weight

[void topaz]

i guess but they make everything easier whats specific about this one

[slate lance]

No we should be ruled by jimbo

[compact gazelle]

guilty as charged i just want politicians to all die

OH I JUST SAW IT

2 HANDS

4 JOKER SLOTS

ok this one might take a bit longer

[slate lance]

No ones parading it in ur face? How would that even work
And honestly not everyones wants to or even needs to lose weight
I think chubby girls are pretty actually

[compact gazelle]

blastoffs a lil tricky sometimes
once rocket gets going youre cruising from there

[simple stream]

how chubby are we talking?

is there a line

I replied to wrong thing I meant the ones u think are pretty

[slate lance]

Well like when u have trouble walking and styff then maybe thats a bit far

[compact gazelle]

ok see heres the thing
those people do exist and i dont like them
theres a difference between a little overweight and broken scale diabetes collect-em-all mode
im talking about the second type, and specifically the ones that pretend like its a good thing theyre obese
the ones that are proud of their weight
those ones are mentally ill

[heady narwhal]

hi game-discussion

[slate lance]

Lmao

[compact gazelle]

oh yeah this is game discussion

[simple stream]

lmao

[white zodiac]

fun

[compact gazelle]

what game are we discussing again

[slate lance]

Were discussing the game of life

[simple stream]

mb gang

[dark cairn]

i dont wanna hear any more space joker slander ever again after it got me 10 free pair levels

[compact gazelle]

space jokers a gig worker

sometimes he has the magic sometimes he doesnt

[dark cairn]

like yea sure burnt joker is technically better but like thats to be expected bc its a rare

also space joker has le funni oa6 synergy

[compact gazelle]

space can be better with spam hands if you get 4+ per round since you sometimes get forced by burnt to burn a suboptimal discard for the level

also baseball
theres always baseball

[cosmic sun]

I like how I can belt out an essay in less than an hour now because I actually went through English classes prior to AI

[distant vault]

Fuck space joker

[cosmic sun]

And those are the ones that make you write persuasive essays or essays with sources

+Prior experience with writing in general

[slate lance]

I lowkey wish i couldve picked english in college but for the job i wanna do its not rlly something important

[cosmic sun]

I also just say this because the essays in non english classes are pitifully easy

Maybe because people are so cooked they had to lower the bar even more

But it's like "write a 2 page essay"

[distant vault]

🏆

[white zodiac]

attention span test

how long can you stay on topic and make it make sense for educational purposes

[slate lance]

3 minutes tops

[tender hill]

1 minute max 2 minutes

[slate lance]

My attentions so low i forget about the boss blind IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOSS

[fringe crest]

guys im a seed finder but im absolutely stupid theoretically how could i win/end a run with 5 lusty jokers on their own

[cosmic sun]

aight but hyperfixations

if it's something I love I could go on for HOURS

[slate lance]

Deltarune 🤤

[real steeple]

it only took 50 hours to get this

[cosmic sun]

exactlyyy

[distant vault]

Congrats

[tender hill]

its not that hard to get that much chips

[distant vault]

There it is

[real steeple]

pls dont tell me that there is a 100,000,000,000 chips in a single hand

[slate lance]

I literally walk around in circles listening to deltarune lyric songs on repeat

[distant vault]

Yes you'll get better as you play

[real steeple]

ricky i have not gotten better i have just gotten more clueless and luckier

[distant vault]

🔥 🔥

[tender hill]

hey bro

learn about which jokers go with what

[real steeple]

its hard to keep them in the brain

[dark cairn]

oh my

[distant vault]

Best mail in rebate of all time?

[tender hill]

ok then remember this

[dark cairn]

i think i get rid of the castle here?

[distant vault]

[compact gazelle]

castle yeah
unless its on like 350 or something

[tender hill]

oops all 6s is ass

[slate lance]

Please jusr pick a good synergy ONCEEE

I beg uuu

[tender hill]

no jokers here synergize with each other

[distant vault]

Doesn't matter

Won

[slate lance]

Cert and holo do

Grimbo burglar does

[distant vault]

I don't need synergy!!!

[slate lance]

But the grimbo rebate is pmo

[distant vault]

Im on the quest for the worst builds

[tender hill]

i love pairing hack with wee joker and fib

[zinc cloud]

Bit of a mad unseeded run here but I’m nearly at the limit.. absolute no econ

[distant vault]

Rate my build

[slate lance]

Win with ramen on like x 1.01

[slate lance]

-67 / 10

Ok thats my lasr 6 7 mention

I promise

[slate lance]

My fav combo is

Grimbo

Burglar

Card sharp

🤤 🙏

I love how versatile balatro is

U can have like 200 different synergies

[white zodiac]

into the eye

[tender hill]

Its a deck building roguelike

For a reason

[dark cairn]

wow natural negative chaos the clown, welcome to the team buddy

[distant vault]

Look at this

Why do you hate my plays

@slate lance

[dark cairn]

getting a lot of gold stickers this rnd

[dark cairn]

it was on 108

[dark cairn]

with space joker its crazy :/

2x more levels

[slate lance]

Ok thats not too bad tho

[distant vault]

Paradolia doing nothing

Banner doing nothing

Card sharp perishable

[slate lance]

Banner gives u chips

[compact gazelle]

sixes is a team player
nothing alone but holy hell these synergies

[slate lance]

Pareidolia is a polychrome

Wait banner too

Gyat damn

[distant vault]

I hexed paradolia ante 1

[tender hill]

pareidolia isnt doing shit

[distant vault]

Bad or good play

[tender hill]

You wasted that hex

[distant vault]

Bro im just trying to make goofy builds

[slate lance]

Idk hexung isnt that bad on amy joker thars not perishable

[distant vault]

And to anger @slate lance

[dark cairn]

exactly

[slate lance]

Especially if ur trynna get c++

[tender hill]

if you were gonna pick up pareidolia atleast pair it with smiley face

[slate lance]

DUDE IM CALM

I AM CALMMMM

[distant vault]

Well see how calm you are with my next build

[void topaz]

[void topaz]

like the rest

[void topaz]

youve gained nothing from seeing this

[tender hill]

Son what is this

[distant vault]

To balance it out here's a great build

[willow frost]

i feel like youve both read messages that could help understand the situation lol

[nova mantle]

pls temp i need this

[distant vault]

🔥 🔥

[nova mantle]

my bull is kind of chipless

[void topaz]

i lowkey have no idea what hes saying

[willow frost]

[distant vault]

Yo its the dude from art of war

[willow frost]

idk either but its funny to read

[distant vault]

Mfer playing balatro

[willow frost]

[distant vault]

Dude dropped a banger and then went to balatro

🔥 🔥 🔥

[void topaz]

sick

[void topaz]

ok third try won me it

first 2 were to acclimate

uh

lowkey kinda close

alright thats 7 challenges done today its 1am

no 8

[dark cairn]

jokerless awaits you

[void topaz]

xray vision lowkey harder

[fossil glacier]

Just thought I would share ... but ... I'm still working towards C++ and thought I had a run going with Michel in my roster. Guess who went extinct before the sticker could be applied?

[dark cairn]

couldnt disagree more

[void topaz]

if you think about it jokerless is the oppisate of xray vision

[dark cairn]

xray vision you just play pairs and youre fine

treat it like a high stake run

[void topaz]

yeah i know im just getting unlucky

[dark cairn]

oof

relatable

thats what happened to me on jokerless typecast and cruelty

[void topaz]

lost like 4 times on ok runs so i ended up beating the other challenges first

i beat type cast first try cause ancient joker is gas

[dark cairn]

yellow deck gold stake complete 🎉 https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lF7sWGyn7K7cO0Zw7?invite=cr-MSxIbngsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

way easier than anaglyph deck was

[fossil glacier]

Also, holy crap is Obelisk GOATed as heck

[void topaz]

bro its yellow deck

obviously

[dark cairn]

funny thing: i had a 4.5x hologram before the steel joker but i already had a gold sticker on it so i sold the hologram for steel joker

[void topaz]

gat

cat

gato

[distant vault]

I need to gain lost girls respect once more

[void topaz]

i was tryna say goat and/or great and neither worked

[void topaz]

what did bro do

[distant vault]

She said my builds are dookie

[void topaz]

whats the last one you did

[dark cairn]

so now lets see

[void topaz]

eternal cert is weird

the rest is fine

[distant vault]

Rebate with burglar

[void topaz]

you bought rebate first

[distant vault]

Yea

[void topaz]

then bought burglar later

nothing seems weird t ome

all is well

[distant vault]

Worst rebate of all time I think

Now I just need banner

[fossil glacier]

And Delayed

[void topaz]

now you just need trading card

[distant vault]

My man

[dark cairn]

gold stake'd decks: red, blue, yellow, ghost, abandoned, checkered, anaglyph, erratic
remaining decks: green, black, magic, nebula, zodiac, painted, plasma

so im over halfway done now

but ive saved the worst ones for last so not really

[void topaz]

on my phone i only have plasma and erratic left

on my computer uhhh

[distant vault]

Black deck :

[void topaz]

we dont talkabout it

[dark cairn]

erratic was... interesting

[distant vault]

Black gonna take as long as all others combined

[void topaz]

lowkey erratic is prolly easy

[dark cairn]

it was pretty easy but it just felt so weird having a randomized deck

[void topaz]

not really

itll take a bit longer

[dark cairn]

you can play 3oak/4oak easily

[distant vault]

Longer than all decks combined?

[dark cairn]

can also play flushes more easily

[void topaz]

yeah 4oak is really strong

[distant vault]

Damn bro

[void topaz]

not combined

longer than all the decks indivdually

[dark cairn]

i'm also worried about plasma deck and green deck though

im not worried about painted zodiac magic or nebula

[void topaz]

i havent done plasma no idea what to tell you

green is a bit of an econ hit

[dark cairn]

2x blind requirement 😭

[void topaz]

but like get an econ joker and your fine

[dark cairn]

its a blank deck with worse economy

[fossil glacier]

Plasma: focus on chips
Green: No interest to worry about so you can take a rental or two and it won't affect the thresholds 😛

[dark cairn]

only time where its better is in ante 1

[void topaz]

are you sure youve played gold stake plasm

[dark cairn]

no interest is an extreme downside

[void topaz]

you cant really focus on chips

[dark cairn]

i feel like green deck should start you with both interest vouchers so that they can't appear in the shop

[fossil glacier]

checks...

Yep

[dark cairn]

well you can if you're drspectred

lmao

[void topaz]

ok yeah

fair

[void topaz]

did you really beat it with chips?

[fossil glacier]

There's a point where you can move over to mult, yes, but focusing on chips is easier in the early game

[void topaz]

oh early game sure

[dark cairn]

i feel like the way you beat plasma deck is just take scaling chip jokers for first 4 antes and then hope you get blue seals/some form of planet levels, photochad, a bunch of glass/steel cards or you die

[void topaz]

we all know ante 6 and up is when it gets real

[fossil glacier]

Eh, just forces you to think differently about econ 😄

[void topaz]

interest is overrated anyway

[fossil glacier]

I actually can't remember the last time I played Plasma, so I can't answer your question.

[void topaz]

make 40 bucks a round with golden ticket

[fossil glacier]

I'm running Ghost right now for C++

[dark cairn]

you basically cant use square joker/green joker/rtb effectively unless you have econ jokers because you'll get 0 money

[proper flame]

love getting seed money/money tree and having TTM so you just get like 20 dollars of interest a round

or is it 30?

[dark cairn]

when i first started green deck took me the 2nd longest to get my first win on

[void topaz]

i mean by the time your doing that the runs over

[dark cairn]

black deck took the longest obviously

[proper flame]

I know but its very fun to see number go up

thats why I play the game

[dark cairn]

say that again?

[void topaz]

the money numbers so small though

i like the sound affect

[proper flame]

Its extra free money

[dark cairn]

im sad that plasma deck is going to suck to play high stake though

cause its such a cool deck

[void topaz]

but the reroll buttons so tempting

[dark cairn]

but ill have 0 fun on it past blue stake

[void topaz]

just find ancient joker

[proper flame]

more interest gives you more free rerolls :)

[void topaz]

but to get the interest

you need to not reroll

[dark cairn]

i thought anaglyph was meta for c++ because negative skips

[void topaz]

early on sure

[dark cairn]

or is ghost deck just so much easier that itdoesnt matter

[distant vault]

Anaglyph is good early

[void topaz]

the more stickers you get the less relavant ana is

[distant vault]

Later play deck youre best at

[fossil glacier]

I've read a lot of differing opinions. Maybe in the beginning, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut you have to GET the negative skips for it to work, and later on in the run, too

[dark cairn]

makes sense

[distant vault]

I got it with yellow and ghost

[fossil glacier]

Having the earlier Hex has been helping a ton

[uncut matrix]

ive beaten ana gold stake 3 times and all 3 i couldnt find a negative skip

[dark cairn]

what do you think my next gold stake climb should be

[uncut matrix]

so my skip tags jst piled up unused

[dark cairn]

im thinking magic deck then nebula deck

[distant vault]

Nebula to be done with it

[void topaz]

nebula deck is so ass

[distant vault]

Shits boring

[dark cairn]

nebula deck is bad?

[distant vault]

Yes

[dark cairn]

telescope is like my fav voucher

[void topaz]

MY EMPERORRR

[uncut matrix]

i thought i was the only one

i hate nebula deck

[void topaz]

MY HIGH PRIESTESSS

[dark cairn]

oh right 🥀

[void topaz]

MY VAGABONDDDDD

[dark cairn]

thankfully crystal ball exists i guess

[distant vault]

Telescope can be a detrimental voucher when youre not playing the hands youre going to play in the endgame

[fossil glacier]

Have to remember to play checkered a few times for the Droll and Tribe stickers

[dark cairn]

i feel like thatd only be a problem with obelisk and like the first 2 antes

[void topaz]

no like

you play flushes early game to win

then you pivot to 4oaks

your not playing many 4oaks a round

[fossil glacier]

At a certain point with Obelisk it doesn't really matter.

[distant vault]

Exactly

[dark cairn]

only time i ever played 4oak/3oak was on erratic

[void topaz]

bro what

[dark cairn]

i just focus on pairs

[distant vault]

Or pairs

[void topaz]

4oaks are gas

[dark cairn]

its not that i think theyre bad

[fossil glacier]

4oak/5oak are awesome when they're set up correctly

[dark cairn]

i'm just not good at fixing my deck enough to make them viable

[void topaz]

6 of a card and a 48 card deck and im doing 4oak fr

[dark cairn]

when i try to do it i usually end up dying from a bad draw or lack of money for other stuff

[fossil glacier]

just stick to pairs 😄

[void topaz]

lowkey 1 blue seal and it wins alone

[void topaz]

pairs are sooooo boring though

[dark cairn]

thats what i do, with the occasional high card straight or flush run thrown in

[void topaz]

funny lvl 14 4oak

[dark cairn]

dying over and over is more boring

i do what works for me

[distant vault]

Pair gang

[void topaz]

i like how most peoples most money is barely over 400 for satelitte

[dark cairn]

only time i don't default to pairs is on erratic and checkered deck

[fossil glacier]

Oh. You did stats. One sec.

[void topaz]

for gold stake right

[dark cairn]

yes

[distant vault]

Yeah I don't hoarde money

[dark cairn]

on white stake i do whatever the hell i want lol

[void topaz]

lol

[fossil glacier]

Transparency!

[distant vault]

Nicee

[fossil glacier]

Right back at you, Mr 100% Stickers ❤️

[distant vault]

🔥

[dark cairn]

mongus

[void topaz]

wait lememe get my phone

thats my real stats

its not much better lol

[dark cairn]

i wanna get naneinf sometime but seeded runs are boring af

[void topaz]

some would say its worse

[dark cairn]

but waiting for a natural run that gets the required luck is also boring af

[void topaz]

i got a e 60 on my phone on a school trip

OH GOD ITS FLUSHES

6000

[dark cairn]

lmao

checkered deck enthusiast?

[fossil glacier]

Get.
Out.

[void topaz]

tbf i learned to play with checkered

[dark cairn]

i like flushes

if i get an early arrowhead or onyx agate ill try and pivot towards em

[void topaz]

my highest consumble is jupiter lol

it is infact mercury on my computer

[dark cairn]

thats my 2nd lol
mercury 1st for me

[void topaz]

not to worry

[dark cairn]

wow ive used 777 mercurys

do i win something

[void topaz]

more gambling

[fossil glacier]

You win the chance to make it 778

[dark cairn]

and ive used 676 jupiters

[void topaz]

ive used 1030 jupiters on my phone lol

[dark cairn]

weirdly symmetrical

[void topaz]

theres a joke to be made here

anyway my computers gonna die

[dark cairn]

my 3rd highest planet card is mars prob becuase of my erratic deck runs

[void topaz]

i have judgement over hung man on my phone

[dark cairn]

do yall think that ouija shouldn't cost hand size

[void topaz]

it needs a draw back

[dark cairn]

or should start at 0 hand size cost and then go -1

[void topaz]

no

[dark cairn]

but having the same drawback as ectoplasm makes it garbage

[void topaz]

yeah it needs a different draw back

[dark cairn]

but like what

[void topaz]

maybe like puts you in det

debt

[dark cairn]

um i dont think it should have a worse drawback than wraith

[void topaz]

for every card changed lose 5 dollars or something

[dark cairn]

maybe make it the opposite of immolate where it costs a flat 20 dollars or something

[dark cairn]

-40 dollars with a standard deck size hell no

[void topaz]

but like

its free 4oaks

forever

its pretty good

[dark cairn]

not necessarily if your hand size is small or your deck is large

[void topaz]

the hand size drawback is what makes it not be that

and if your not stupid your deck isnt like 60 cards lol

[dark cairn]

id rather use a wraith than an ouija if it costed $5 per card changed

[void topaz]

yeah but its not a choice of which one

[lyric shore]

im skipping both

[void topaz]

not always

[dark cairn]

ok in most cases id rather skip

[void topaz]

what if your rich

you can afford to ouija

[dark cairn]

if you're rich then you can afford all the tarot cards you need to deck fix

[void topaz]

and what if your poor

you can freely wraith

[lyric shore]

i still wont take ouija

[void topaz]

why not

do you hate 4oaks

[dark cairn]

bc tarot cards

[void topaz]

thats slow

and your not guranteed to find like 5 deaths

let alone

8

[dark cairn]

if you're rich you can get whatever jokers you want so you can afford to wait

[void topaz]

by rich i mean like 50 bucks

[dark cairn]

the tarots are also cheaper and more useful overall

[dark cairn]

so you go down to 10 and screw up your interest good idea

[void topaz]

thats like

not that big of a deal

you have 11 10s in your deck now

[dark cairn]

neither is waiting for death cards

or strength cards

or hanged men
