YOU FORGOT ONE!

[barren wigeon]

wait hold up dont tell me

[tranquil cedar]

List of horrible things Nintendo has done

expensive stuff

[molten thicket]

the bus

[cursive crater]

+they are in the shortcut street

[latent egret]

idk man making people pay 90$ for mario kart to then force them to play ass tracks online is pretty scummy

less scummy than most

[barren wigeon]

YOU CANNOT PROVE THAT

[cursive crater]

looks like it

[barren wigeon]

IT IS JUST A STREET

[latent egret]

but still should be criticized

[tacit stream]

On ninty stuff, I do have switched from OG Switch to OLED and then Sw2 now...

[barren wigeon]

IT LOOKS LIKE A STREET

[molten thicket]

no shot

what

[obsidian patrol]

||ride the bus||

[barren wigeon]

LOSS????

[pale wolf]

which part is scummy

[barren wigeon]

I said rtb

oh freak I didnt

i thought about it at least

[latent egret]

changing the dynamic of online play after release

[obsidian patrol]

Why is he lying?

[tranquil cedar]

:.|:;

[lunar zealot]

i love riff raff man

it's better golden joker

you know whatelse is better golden joker

perkeo

[cursive crater]

yeah ngl i dont think thats the shortcut street

[lunar zealot]

riff raff = perkeo

[cursive crater]

but id like to imagine it is

[barren wigeon]

until you get only credit cards

[floral mural]

also id like to add most countries have insurance on switches and conventient ways to buy them. the next most portable thing (steam deck) is far less accessible with insurance and everything

[barren wigeon]

also Microsoft sucks a lot more than nintendo

[floral mural]

also im not pretending sony and xbox arent actively doing stuff that sucks too

[barren wigeon]

im still not using linux though

[lunar zealot]

everything sucks

[molten thicket]

use macos

[pale wolf]

and nintendo did make a cheaper version of the switch

[barren wigeon]

do you hate me?

[barren wigeon]

called the switch

[pale wolf]

switch lite

[molten thicket]

im sorry 😔

[barren wigeon]

and that too yeah

[tacit stream]

Everyone has that one "sucks" thing that they've accepted I think.

[obsidian patrol]

we are ALL switching to steamOS

[pale wolf]

handheld only

[barren wigeon]

nobody is making you buy the switch 2

[floral mural]

i just got a program that locks out updates on my pc so im gonna rock windows 10 until 11 is better

[barren wigeon]

its a privilege

[cursive crater]

ps vita

[tranquil cedar]

Oh, Balatro Server, I Only Play Mobile Games. /ref

[barren wigeon]

if you dont wanna pay switch 2 prices then dont buy the switch 2

[safe moat]

Today’s balatrodle was dirty

[tacit stream]

I recently pivoted to Linux, just can't stand the idea of downgrading to win11

[barren wigeon]

switch 1 still works

[pale wolf]

oh I'm going to try it

[barren wigeon]

no matter how good linux gets im never using it

not gonna become one of those people

[pale wolf]

You probably already do

just not through a screen

[barren wigeon]

on my pc

as an operating system

I won't do that

because doesn't android run on linux?

think i heard that somewhere

[cursive crater]

is it one of the hand types

jokers

[barren wigeon]

NONONO

[cursive crater]

i bet it is

[barren wigeon]

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

[pale wolf]

yea originally based

not quite run on, but is from

[tacit stream]

I mean, that's your choice and I don't really have a right to judge.

[cursive crater]

[cursive crater]

for some reason these past few days i keep getting this error every like 15 seconds when im using chrome

[floral mural]

personally im never switching from chrome to another browser purely off of being used to chrome

[cursive crater]

tried clearing the cache and didnt work and its up to date

[barren wigeon]

|| I guessed the order and the family before it because they are quite literally the exact same thing ||

[cursive crater]

should i just reinstall

[lunar zealot]

I HATE FOIL BANANA

[pale wolf]

||not the same character count on family||

[tacit stream]

don't use chrome, I guess

[barren wigeon]

||i guessed family first ||

[cursive crater]

thanks bro

[pale wolf]

oh ok

[cursive crater]

what are yalls starting joker

i go constellation

[barren wigeon]

||grimbo, not because its a good starting joker but because I like it||

[barren wigeon]

AHHH AHHH SPOILERS AHHH AHHH

[cursive crater]

[pale wolf]

||yea this was a bit of advice jmibo pointed out to me, that all the rare hand xmult have different characters except order and tribe so guess one of those first if you have to||

[barren wigeon]

uhh forgot something

[tranquil cedar]

space idk why tho

[cursive crater]

thats so random😭

[pale wolf]

finger slipped when i went to symbols

[tranquil cedar]

yea i be playing for fun

[barren wigeon]

||I usually guess thr tribe first because its the one I think of first, no clue why i went family this time ||

[pale wolf]

||hologram i think has a very good coverage||

[cursive crater]

I still need 25%

speculative reroll tag 🙌

[proper bronze]

sans balatro

[cursive crater]

whats the most underwhelming boss blind

[tacit stream]

or paintbrush

or director's cut

[rancid gull]

The wheel

That almost never does anything

Unless you have oops’

[tranquil cedar]

arm

wait you said underwhelming not just bad

then yeah prolly wheel

[jade arch]

I died, sadly

[tacit stream]

on abandoned deck

[tranquil cedar]

it's been damn long since I've seen plant or toof geez wonder how they're doing

[rancid gull]

Good

Let em stay gone

Hate the tooth

[tranquil cedar]

good to know

[vocal rose]

ngl

the wheel be a bitch sometimes

[tranquil cedar]

read this as opps btw

[vocal rose]

the probability for it and STILL having 4-5 cards face down off rip

[pale wolf]

balatrodle spoilers but i just cant seem to find the answer

[vocal rose]

just does something

[vocal rose]

the arm hurts

alot

[vocal rose]

the plant

[tranquil cedar]

Hint added!
The _______

hold on the _ does something

[vocal rose]

amber acorn is the most underwhelming boss blind

[tranquil cedar]

how the hell do i fix this 🙌

[rancid gull]

Honestly true lol

[pale wolf]

||spoilers and it says the tri__||

[tranquil cedar]

Amber Acorn

Score to beat
300 000
does nothing

[wicked sonnet]

baltro

[rancid gull]

That’s violet vessel silly goose

[tacit stream]

blatro

[tranquil cedar]

oh mb i forgot

[formal abyss]

i think shuffling it every hand would fix it

[tranquil cedar]

crap that's right

[pale wolf]

make it shuffle held jokers and deselect jokers as well

You could already tell enough about the Jokers just through their card backs and whether they're Eternal or not

[tacit stream]

make it just debuff all jokers

[pale wolf]

until a playing card is sold

[formal abyss]

or just make em all unsellable during the boss blind

[pale wolf]

doesn't really fit...

[formal abyss]

what about

shuffle and pins all jokers?

[tranquil cedar]

tocihC
Disables all jokers

[pale wolf]

That would be brutal

[tranquil cedar]

rng: the boss blind

[rancid gull]

That would probs be a run killer a lot of th etimes

[formal abyss]

other than hand agnostic builds idk what build needs joker order to matter

you dont get bp bs every run either

[pale wolf]

games like haha i put your blueprint and brainstorm copying eachother have a nice streak loser

[tacit stream]

Amber Acorn (rebalance)
1 in 6 chance to lose instantly. Otherwise win immediately.

[tranquil cedar]

can amber acorn just leave everything as it is /genq

[pale wolf]

acorn is pathetic as it is

[tranquil cedar]

the wheel if it was good

[pale wolf]

it needs a buff

its less threatening than most normal boss blinds which is a weird finale

[tranquil cedar]

the one xmult joker in your build that you can just pick up so it's not shuffled

[formal abyss]

what about

shuffle and pin except for rightmost

ehh ig the pinning is too harsh

[rancid gull]

then it's essentially the same as normal acorn lol

[tranquil cedar]

amber acorn
shuffle all your playing cards

[tacit stream]

amber acorn
shuffles all cards

[tranquil cedar]

amber card
shuffles all acorns

[tacit stream]

this includes playing cards, jokers and consumeables

[pale wolf]

not my perkeo consumables

[tranquil cedar]

red card
shuffles all redcorns

[pale wolf]

specifically added just to make stencil naneinf annoying

[tranquil cedar]

joker that gives you a mulligan

[tacit stream]

amber acorn
shuffles all your internal organs

[tranquil cedar]

shuffles all people on earth

good luck surviving in north Korea 🙌

[formal abyss]

amber acorn, turns into a random non-finisher boss blind every hand

actually 🤔

[tranquil cedar]

hold on they onto something

let bro cook

[tacit stream]

imaging getting shuffled into a flying aircraft that you have no idea how to fly

[pale wolf]

woops wrong pic

[tranquil cedar]

anti winmore

[formal abyss]

anti endless too

[tranquil cedar]

i love how almost every mod that adds blinds has an anti winmore boss

[pale wolf]

it's both bc a roof is a top ceiling and because you dont want your roof to be on fire

[rancid gull]

When you beat both the eye and the mouth 💀

[pale wolf]

big needle p. much

[tacit stream]

that's just X2 needle

[pale wolf]

but it would suck not knowing beforehand

[formal abyss]

needle and Water

[pale wolf]

this boss would necessitate boss blind history

[brittle tendon]

Any boss that negatively effects score is something I hate

[pale wolf]

L

[brittle tendon]

Like Flint and Crimson

[pale wolf]

that's the game tho

[brittle tendon]

Ik and I hate playing Balatro

Actually

Wouldn't mr bones be good on that boss concept?

Cause you can just score 25% or so and toss the other hands

Avoiding the 50%< gimmick

[brittle tendon]

I mean for this now

[pale wolf]

ye!

Even better than he usually is

[brittle tendon]

I think he's B tier most of the time so that boss he would be S tier

Just for that boss tho

[pale wolf]

eeeeehhhhh

hard disagree

[lone spindle]

what is the common order of jokers?

[brittle tendon]

Doesn't matter as long as +mult before Xmult

Chips and utility can be put anywhere

[lone spindle]

xmult is about specific mult?

[brittle tendon]

Xmult is things like Vampire, Obelisk, Campfire

+mult is things like Zany Joker, Red Card and Green Joker

You want plus mult to be added to the base mult first, then multiple that with X mult

[lone spindle]

ok so +mult first then after xmult

[unreal iron]

this should apply most of the time except when youre scaling +mult or chips

like ride the bus, if you already have an xmult you put it first so you can scale bus more

[brittle tendon]

Yes unless you are scaling

[unreal iron]

so in the end you can score more points when you rearrange

[molten thicket]

xmult is multiplicative mult

like times your mult by 3x or sth

[cunning osprey]

Holy luck

[unreal iron]

ante 1???

that is quite lucky

[rancid gull]

goated

[unreal iron]

find gold cards because youre broke asl

[cunning osprey]

1st shop

This is why yellow deck is goated

[brittle tendon]

Just win at this point

[unreal iron]

buffoon pack, stm, drunkard?

[unreal iron]

they are broke tho

[vocal rose]

but now u gotta wait to hit interest

[vocal rose]

not a free win

[brittle tendon]

That shouldn't be too bad with gold

They have mime

[unreal iron]

theyre on black stake too wait

no purple scaling

its still not free ofc but yk

[brittle tendon]

I meant gold cards

[unreal iron]

it does make everything easier

[unreal iron]

i realised

[brittle tendon]

No worries

[magic tree]

don't give them ideas

the serpent is my favorite boss

[rose wolf]

that kid in my math class who likes balatro says he gets dna a lot in the shop

[plain mirage]

profitable bean 10/10 situation

never been here before

[magic tree]

bloodstone out I guess?

[magic tree]

how to cure balatro addiction?

[molten thicket]

but why

[plain mirage]

its terminal im afraid

[magic tree]

because I need to study

instead of playing

[keen swan]

Take a break

[molten thicket]

its too late im afraid

[keen swan]

I took a break acouple of times.

unless you been doing it like 24/7 then yeah that's bad

[rotund geode]

Medium sized high card

[magic tree]

I have 32.8 hours of play in the last two weeks

is it a lot?

[pliant jewel]

rookie numbers

[rotund geode]

Exactly

Didn't even use burnt

That was only from blue seals

[naive jolt]

Very nice

[pliant jewel]

i was mostly referring to the other guy but okay

[magic tree]

he was talking to me

[rotund geode]

Welp

[magic tree]

xD

[rotund geode]

And out I go

[pliant jewel]

it's okay when you remember this moment when trying to sleep just know that i wont remember this interaction

[floral mural]

i wanna buy both buffoons but saving for paintbrush is a smart idea

[proper bronze]

CCIBP

CCIBP

[magic tree]

BP

credit card

[proper bronze]

CREDIT CARD IN BUFOON PACK ‼️‼️‼️

[floral mural]

i opened one buffoon got a lusty for early game carry and bought paintbrush next shop since nothing good was there

[proper bronze]

was credit card there

[magic tree]

should've opened both packs

[proper bronze]

who tf told it was unusable

[floral mural]

nope but going in debt for only blueprint is gonna lose me the run

[proper bronze]

i use it so often

[magic tree]

true

[proper bronze]

keep credit card untill out of debt

or untill game ends

[magic tree]

or until the sun goes down

||localthunk is literally a fool||

[vale shale]

He looks like Ishowspeed.

Whiteshowspeed.

[magic tree]

xD

Whitestakespeed

[pale wolf]

i givem ideas all the time

[magic tree]

nice

[woven spire]

hello people that don’t know how to read

[magic tree]

I have a joker idea. Common joker that makes you always draw your most played hand type on the first draw

[vale shale]

That's.

[woven spire]

unconmon

[vale shale]

Overpowered.

[woven spire]

or rare

[magic tree]

uncommon then

[soft vapor]

I'm finally working on a mod (sort of)

[proper bronze]

what if i don't have it

[hardy fable]

common but gives you a guaranteed on 5 card builds

sure it may be underpowered on pair/hc runs but it would be a take for straight 4oak and builds like that

[magic tree]

yeah even flushes

[woven spire]

meh

flushes would be meh

not hard to find one

[soft vapor]

Flush five

[keen swan]

No not really if it's a steam play time. though want ot knwo what is your scedule too

[floral mural]

a joker being bad on smaller hands and good on bigger ones would be refreshing i dont mind ngl

[soft vapor]

But like

[floral mural]

usually its the opposite

[soft vapor]

Crystal ball deck

You get a sun and two deaths

[magic tree]

it's my steam play time

[woven spire]

would that have synergy with burnt? free level every round

[keen swan]

That's fine.

[magic tree]

yes

[keen swan]

for two weeks in steam time not bad

[woven spire]

lowk that combo would be fun

[magic tree]

okay nice, bcs I am technically on vacation (though I have my exams soon)

[keen swan]

if it was like 10 times the 32 hours then yeah that is terrible.

[magic tree]

yeah but localthunk would never accept it, too OP

[magic tree]

for sure lol

[jade arch]

I WAS SO CLOSE TO GLORY!

[naive jolt]

The seed for that
J3EDZ9FI

[hardy fable]

glory, greatness would be 5 of me

[woven spire]

i understand him for not adding jokers tho, the game is too balanced, you can destroy that with ONE joker, he must feel lot of pressure on that ngl

[magic tree]

my best shot was 3

[hardy fable]

same, I flew too close to the sun though

[magic tree]

true, that's why updates are so rare

[woven spire]

Not plasma is crazy

[jade arch]

Do you just instantly lose if you have 0 hand size?

[woven spire]

it’s valid tho

[hardy fable]

I'm the best in every deck

I'm a 51x joker

[magic tree]

I guess

same as when you have no cards left in your deck

[woven spire]

51x?

[hardy fable]

idk zebra did the Math

[woven spire]

lol

[hardy fable]

I trust zebra

[hardy fable]

ask them how they got 51x

when they're active

[woven spire]

alr

[magic tree]

250 chips = 51 mult ?

[woven spire]

That’s what i mean

sounds weird

[magic tree]

ye

[woven spire]

gng it’s e16 a decent highscore

can’t get past e16 lol

[hardy fable]

that's high, best I got was 5

[woven spire]

I’m going to ignore the nanx2 on your name.

how tf tho

is that a bug or edited

[calm furnace]

muh flushes dont scale amirite?

[woven spire]

what’s ur level on flushes

[calm furnace]

31

[hardy fable]

bug, getting naninf resets your highscore

thought I do have a Pic where the highscore says naninf

[woven spire]

wait fr

[hardy fable]

can't find it though

[woven spire]

lol

[woven spire]

Should have clipped getting it, upload it on yt and make it private

[calm furnace]

telescope + blue seal was a free win

[woven spire]

no way you are losing that

[hardy fable]

does my name looks more like I got c++ and nan 2x or got c++ once and nan 2x

[woven spire]

don’t forget abt the poly stencil lol

[woven spire]

you got c++ twice?

[hardy fable]

yes

[calm furnace]

well yeah, but the poly stencil was the reason i went flush

otherwise i would have built something else

[hardy fable]

will be thrice if I decide to play again

[woven spire]

wild.

[calm furnace]

also i held on a sigil and blasted it on a Serpant with +1 discard and made my entire deck hearts

[terse vale]

looks like you got both twice to me

[pliant jewel]

should be (c++ + nan)x2

[calm furnace]

gotta love how easy and consistent getting blue seal value with flushes

[woven spire]

not bad idea

[pliant jewel]

wait until you hear about pairs

[woven spire]

ikr

[calm furnace]

pairs wouldnt beat viollet vessel with stencil alone on level 31

[terse vale]

we really doing algebra now

[woven spire]

worse scaling tho

[calm furnace]

flush scales more than twice than pairs when it comes to mult

[pale wolf]

yea and more than twice the number of cards to draw

[hardy fable]

hey it's zebra, explain to @woven spire how I'm a 51x joker

[pale wolf]

that reduces blue seal value massively

[pale wolf]

way more

[hardy fable]

I will save the explanation this time :D

[cerulean parcel]

I’ve beaten verdant leaf without selling a joker

[calm furnace]

using a hand or two as discard its very easy to draw at least one blue seal

[hardy fable]

that's normal for some runs

[calm furnace]

i had 4 blue seals this run and only once i didnt draw at least one blue seal

[cerulean parcel]

verdant leaf was also my first finisher blind

[pale wolf]

at least one? pairs will let you actually use the one blue seal you have in your deck early on rather than having to have multiple to compensate for reduced drawing

[calm furnace]

isnt the point to draw the blue seals? yes its harder to draw blue seals with flushes, but also you dont depend on drawing them as much since flushes scale better

[pale wolf]

flushes scale (slightly) better but you can play more than twice as many pairs in a round

[calm furnace]

slightly my ass lmao

you need level 60 pairs to beat violllet vessel with stencil alone

[pale wolf]

its marginal in the face of other scoring options

[vale shale]

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

[calm furnace]

for a poly stencil run going for pairs instead of flushes would have lost me the round

[pale wolf]

I wouldve done 3oak

[calm furnace]

yellow or blue

[calm furnace]

had i stumbled on hangmen or deaths i would have considered

[hardy fable]

magic

[calm furnace]

it was on 54 cards up until ante 6

[pale wolf]

you'd generate more value from your gold cards, get more levels from Blue seals, find more purple seals etc when you play pairs as opposed to flushes, seeing more of your deck is very beneficial

It's not just straight scoring differences

[woven spire]

oh on plasma

yeah that makes sense now

[calm furnace]

pairs wouldnt have won the run unless i got to level 60 with stencil alone

[floral mural]

god this start is kinda ridiculous

[calm furnace]

3oak and flushes would

[pale wolf]

My point is that you would have had more money and have seen more options to go with the stencil

[floral mural]

like i love green but splash for chips is

[pale wolf]

or to change your deck in more favorable ways

[floral mural]

no i dont think splash is very good

[calm furnace]

my entire deck was hearts tho

why would i play something other than flushes

when im guaranteed to draw flushes

[pale wolf]

were you on checkered or something

[calm furnace]

splash is situational

[calm furnace]

no i was on ghost, first shop stencil, 2nd shop trance and ante 3 i found sigil before the serpant

[pale wolf]

serpent is ante 5

minimum

[floral mural]

thank god i can drop splash

[calm furnace]

what?

didnt know that

i had my deck mostly one suit early on

[pale wolf]

because you were already playing for flushes because you believed it was better with stencil

[lone spindle]

can't get past 5 sheesh

[calm furnace]

the more you know

[lone spindle]

ante

[pale wolf]

serpent is like a checkpoint

[hardy fable]

white stake?

[pale wolf]

feels too easy

[lone spindle]

yeah so cooked

[calm furnace]

is there any build that the serpant is good against

i dont think i ever lost to that boss

[hardy fable]

manage econ and find x mult ig

[vale shale]

Let's go with your first deck.

Yellow

Gonna be fun.

[hardy fable]

get chips by using planet bonus or stone cards

[pale wolf]

yea it can harm builds where you want to dig thru all of your deck to play a few valuable cards

because it strictly limits how much of your deck you get to see

[calm furnace]

most of the time im relieved when i face it

especially on ghost deck

[pale wolf]

usually a non-issue

[calm furnace]

having a sigil or ouija is funny before the serpant

[pale wolf]

if not a benefit

[cerulean parcel]

The mouth is called the mouth because it eats other poker hands

The needle stabs your hands

[terse vale]

I thought it was thread the needle

[cerulean parcel]

the flint burns your chips and mult

[calm furnace]

god i hate the flint

[cerulean parcel]

It’s not that bad

[calm furnace]

flint and the arm are my nemises

[calm furnace]

if your build depends on planets its one of the worst bosses in the game

[cerulean parcel]

Your build should not depend on planets

[calm furnace]

your build depends on what the game offers

[terse vale]

I mean there’s straight builds

[cerulean parcel]

The psychic predicts your cards

The wall is well uh wall

[calm furnace]

and if you are doing a straight build or 4oak, flat mult and chips jokers offer almost next to nothing

[cerulean parcel]

the water washes away your discards

[vale shale]

Oh brother this guy stinks!

[calm furnace]

why red card on photochad

[cerulean parcel]

What does the arm mean?

[calm furnace]

gamers arm, gettin less muscle mass the more they play

[cursive crater]

you close your eye with the arm so you cant see the new cards

wait thats the weong boss

fuck

[cerulean parcel]

The arm steals your poker hands

poker levels

[cursive crater]

yeah i confused it with the fish

[cerulean parcel]

The fish is supposed to represent the water

When you play a hand you don’t know what you’re getting

Like fishing

The serpent swallows your deck

Like a python

What does the ox mean

[soft vapor]

Me when im zanying my joke r

[queen kindle]

this has been the farthest ive gotten

[foggy ember]

the goofiest ante 2 start i have ever done imo

[brave goblet]

not eternal madness rip lol

[foggy ember]

oh youre right

i may keep it still for an eternal

[brave goblet]

It'll just nuke the madness if it hits the eternal though

[foggy ember]

ye

[visual summit]

Hey guys does anyone know where I can find a wiki for what the game was like in 0.8.2

[vale shale]

I got red card before photochad

Oh yeah btw

I lost

I went for another run but I didn't count it

[brave goblet]

nothing funnier than bombing a photochad run

[vale shale]

[pale wolf]

plenty of builds depend on planet scoring but prob not most

[pale wolf]

there's patch notes of varying quality on the wiki but besides that probably not

[brisk bluff]

Rate my build

✅

[vale wharf]

Sqousers is op as hell

[placid ridge]

What's your Canio mult at?

[latent egret]

eternal jimbo

[vale wharf]

3

[vale wharf]

Yesssss, he carried actually

[rancid sinew]

By the way, how "fresh" does Balatro stay? Like, if I complete a run, how much more is there to experience?

[shell dagger]

i have more than 500 wins and im still playing

if that answers your question

[vale wharf]

500 is a lot wow

I have 75ish

[rancid sinew]

So it's VERY replayable?

[placid ridge]

That's at least useful. I've never gotten a particularly impressive Canio lol

[placid ridge]

Yeah. It's kinda meant to be like solitaire.

[rancid sinew]

Hmm... Tell me more about it!

[vale wharf]

Well, how much do you know and how much have you played?

[rancid sinew]

On a side note, is Slay the Spire good? It's on offer alongside Balatro and I'm considering buying it.

[rancid sinew]

No playtime whatsoever! I'm still considering buying it.

[vale wharf]

Yeahhhhh, you just never are ready to use a Canio when you get one
At least the others are already "active" as soon as you get them

[placid ridge]

Are there any free demos of Balatro still available? Maybe you would want to try it to see if you like the game.

[vale wharf]

Well, the replayability comes with you becoming better at the game; knowing what choices to make and what not to. Also, big number very cool

[rancid sinew]

I don't see any, I think?

[rancid sinew]

What's the best game you can compare it to? Vampire Survivors? Dead Cells? Enter the Gungeon?

[vale wharf]

Uhhhhhh, it's certainly a great game, but I wouldn't compare it to any of those titles

They're TOTALLY different genres

[latent egret]

its in the same realm as online shooters as for replayability

which is really insane

[rancid sinew]

Online shooters are very replayable or something?

[latent egret]

single player games have way less people with 10k hours than online games

[rancid sinew]

I mean like- those are the only roguelike games I've bought so far

[latent egret]

there is a very tall skill ceiling in balatro

[rancid sinew]

I see!

...how well do I need to know solitaire to play?

[latent egret]

no need

its not like anything youve ever seen before

[radiant flare]

YES

[plucky shuttle]

You just need to have an understanding of poker hands tbh. And even that is not a full requirement

[latent egret]

if you have a math brain to the smallest extent youll do good

[radiant flare]

how do yall feel about picot

[atomic trout]

What can go wrong?

[rancid sinew]

Ahaha, I barely scraped past math in school~
Yadda yadda yadda "Fourier Series"...

[latent egret]

like knowing (20 x 3) + 17 is less than (20 + 17 )x3

[plucky shuttle]

I've heard it helps with heart burn pretty well

[rancid sinew]

What's Picot?

[radiant flare]

legendary joker that disables boss blinds

[latent egret]

its chicot

[radiant flare]

peacock*

[atomic trout]

Should I fist or splash?

[shell dagger]

Fourier series is far beyond what’s needed to do well in balatro

balatro maths is just basic arithmetic and basic probabilities

[rancid sinew]

I know, I know, haha.

[atomic trout]

HALP! Should I kill the Bull for Stonks?

Rocket is at $15

676 Bull Chips
134 Mult Boots

[vocal rose]

why would this ever be worth

[atomic trout]

My life 🤣

[vocal rose]

do u got money tree?

[atomic trout]

Nah

[tame sluice]

bzzzzzzzzz

[vocal rose]

I think you could’ve figured this out

on if it was worth or not

[pale wolf]

what???

[atomic trout]

Let's see

[wintry ice]

ttm is 5$ per round

rocket is 15

the only thing that would be better than rocket right now is rebate

[calm furnace]

talk about luck

[atomic trout]

Tis was a good run...

Got the $400 achievement LOL

[calm furnace]

btw 3 chads and my cat is as fat as a stray cat

[potent tree]

what's going chat

i'm guessing probably chad

CHICKEN STRIPS

AGAIN??

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[pale wolf]

what's your score today

[calm furnace]

ante 8 boss and its still at around 2. gotta be the worst run in my life in terms of lucky triggers

sending this

[cloud sinew]

I haven't played today

[pale wolf]

so you lied

[cloud sinew]

what did I lie about

[calm furnace]

chad hates the cat

[pale wolf]

balatro

[sleek valley]

Should I commit to a flush house build on the first hand of the run?

Kind of tempted for the lulz

[cloud sinew]

if your deck is good for it then yeah

[calm furnace]

just do flush five

[cloud sinew]

flush house scales better :3

[pale wolf]

and is perhaps easier to fix

[calm furnace]

well its the best scaling hand in the game

[pale wolf]

straight flush house is better

[calm furnace]

both are +40 +4

flush house just starts higher

[pale wolf]

what

straight flush house is 50 5

[atomic trout]

What why??

[calm furnace]

both neptune and ceres scale the same

[pale wolf]

what about krypton

[calm furnace]

ceres starts at almost double mult

[calm furnace]

because you skipped

[vale wharf]

Weirdest build I've ever had

[potent tree]

i love myself a free win

[wintry ice]

edition skips

[queen dock]

Only one remains.

In total.

[atomic trout]

I got that. I mean why the gay ice cream?

[distant vault]

Damn

[pale wolf]

why not?

[calm furnace]

there is 150 jokers in the game

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vale wharf]

I did not expect the run to go like this lol, I changed my build so much throughout the run

[calm furnace]

and you skipped for a chance that one of them shows up gay

[pale wolf]

well not all of them can show up

[lament bronze]

Only weird thing is loyalty card, else this is beyond common

[calm furnace]

yeah the math is even worse

[pale wolf]

there's a maximum of 144 different Jokers that can appear in chop slots

[lament bronze]

Chips joker, flat multers, burger

Reliability moment

[vale wharf]

Not 145?

[queen dock]

I guess loyalty card makes more sense because of burger

Basically kind of like acrobat without final hand requirement

[pale wolf]

no, because you can't have Cavendish and Michael both appear simultaneously

[calm furnace]

yeah is not a bad combo actually

[calm furnace]

was gonna say that

[vale wharf]

Loyalty triggers once a round for sure because I have 9 hands haha

[lament bronze]

No yeah I wasn't arguing if it made sense or not, just that it's really common

Not that it's bad/suboptimal

[vale wharf]

Ah, yes

Wait a sec

[lament bronze]

Just to not lie and say it's a wonky run when it's relying on the most reliable and less volatile jokers ever

Apart from loyalty card, of course

[pale wolf]

showman doesnt do anything there

[calm furnace]

remember kids never skip for editions

[queen dock]

Now flower pot makes me want to barf in my opinion either loyalty card or flower pot is in my opinion the worst two junklers

[vale wharf]

Is it possible to have gros michel and cavendish using a showman?

[calm furnace]

i think cav replaces gros

[pale wolf]

no it doesn't work like that

[lament bronze]

If you have a copy of gross Michel that doesn't expire yeah, but since this Convo is on shop, then no

[queen dock]

Should I finally complete all the challenges though?

[lament bronze]

Shop wise it's impossible, you can only have it with an unexpired banana and finding the other banana quick

[queen dock]

Some of them are just very annoying

[calm furnace]

if gros popped you can find it again in the store?

[pale wolf]

Showman does not factor into it besides getting multiple michels

[pale wolf]

no

[calm furnace]

i know you can have gros and cav with invisible joker

[wintry ice]

burglar loyalty card is fun

[lament bronze]

You can't

[pale wolf]

Michael dies, only Cavendish can appear, and Michael can no longer appear

[lament bronze]

Only Cavendish can pop back up if you somehow expire it

Michelle just dies forever for Cav

[vale wharf]

@pale wolf is it possible to have them both in your joker slots at once?

[pale wolf]

yea

[calm furnace]

gros and cav yeah with invisible joker

you copy one gros

one dies

you find cav

[lament bronze]

Invis a Michelle and pray to not have the 2nd die before you find a Cavendish

[pale wolf]

with either showman invisible or ankh

[vale wharf]

That's cursed

[wintry ice]

if he's invisible

[calm furnace]

doesnt ankh kill the other banana?

[pale wolf]

?

[lament bronze]

Not if you just ankh gross Michel

[pale wolf]

what other banana

You only have one if you're trying to make two

[lament bronze]

Ankh a banana, now you have two bananas

[calm furnace]

if you have one gros and use ankh you end up with one gros no?

[lament bronze]

No?

[calm furnace]

ah

[pale wolf]

what?

[calm furnace]

it doesnt destroy the joker it copies right

[lament bronze]

Is bro living life thinking Ankh just kills all of your jokers???

Walking on Jimbo's green earth plagued with a slight misunderstanding

[calm furnace]

almost never used ankh unless i have eternals

[lament bronze]

Yeah for a good reason, you thought it killed everyone including the copied joker

Why would you use Ankh if that was your understanding

But yeah no, Ankh destroys all but 1 that it chooses to copy, now you have two of that joker

[calm furnace]

well if you have a good eternal ankh is still usable even if it worked like i thought it did

[lament bronze]

Having a singular joker bypasses all of this

[lament bronze]

Yeah of course, but losing out on a pretty alright up to game busting item because of that is wild

[twin lantern]

destroys all jokers and then copies one 🔥

[pale wolf]

I will admit that if you don't save scum then some of these things are more cryptic

You would never risk it right

[lament bronze]

Yeah that's why I said he didn't try without eternals for a good reason

[pale wolf]

That's sort of supposed to be what the beginning of your playthrough is but

You know trying things

[vale wharf]

3 gold stakes done!

[calm furnace]

like most of my uses of ankh would be:
find decent eternal joker ante 1 -> hex it -> find ankh -> use it

[distant vault]

Halfsies plus blackboard scares me

[hardy fable]

have me and you don't have to worry about anything

[distant vault]

Still looking for you bro

[lament bronze]

Wait, blackboard can't retrigger through mime??? Nerf the red suits again!!!

[hardy fable]

maybe the stuntman is the friends we made along the way

[wintry ice]

baron mime if it locked in

[lament bronze]

Baron mime if it actually worked for any pre endless situation

[calm furnace]

speaking of ankh and stuntman, will never forget losing a run because i ankhed before the psyhcic and it picked stuntman

[lament bronze]

The dark suits really have a crutch that is nigh unconditional Cavendish meanwhile the red suits have to be satisfied with potential man and "Hey don't diss him he's okay" man (Rough gem)

[hardy fable]

the psychic is my only equal 😔

[twin lantern]

chat is this true

[wintry ice]

bruh

[uncut matrix]

why would it retrigger

[lament bronze]

Of course it's true I just wanted to make a joke, blackboard has a condition for cards held in hand, not a trigger through cards held in hand

[uncut matrix]

it doesnt trigger on cards it triggers if cards are some property

[lament bronze]

Im just copying the nerf miner format

[wintry ice]

why is discord mobile like this

[calm furnace]

why does localthunk hate #7 so much?

[lament bronze]

"Minipekka can grow to level 16 now? Nerf miner"

[chilly rain]

hello everyone i am joining this server to say this game is fucking ASS

[hardy fable]

idk what I'm looking, the only thing I recognize is that handsome pfp

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[calm furnace]

discord is just vibe coded

[cloud sinew]

hades/hades 2 x balatro

[calm furnace]

glass cards

[wintry ice]

it loaded as an image of a completely different game

[lament bronze]

Dark suits out here getting increases to their stones and crutches like see2 and blackboard meanwhile reds get their legs taken off or never even giving them ones to begin with

[chilly rain]

its simply a go next angle i fear

[cloud sinew]

red suits need some love istg

honestly, maybe rework flowerpot to be diamond+heart 😎

[calm furnace]

never ever run photochad without glass cards

[lament bronze]

At the very least if you won't give them a [Baseball card procing, nigh unconditional, X3 joker] I expect you to actually have them be worthwhile

[quartz ember]

well tbf that wasnt photochad

[lament bronze]

I just can't stress enough how big of an upside blackboard is for dark suits

[wintry ice]

3x mult if hand doesn't contain a club or spade

[atomic trout]

And I got gay ice cream

[cloud sinew]

eh

[calm furnace]

well yeah thats why skipping for jokers is a horrible idea

[cloud sinew]

that is just another lobotomy joker

[wintry ice]

it is

[cloud sinew]

3x mult if hand contains a diamond and a heart is more explicitly red suit synergistic and doesnt encourage lobotomy

[lament bronze]

Fucking crutch balance wise because bloodstone is undoubtedly funnier so they have to take his kneecaps every so often and then act like you were dumb for ever liking badstone

[cloud sinew]

while also buffing reds and flowerpot

[hardy fable]

dont skip

[wintry ice]

it also powercreeps flower pot but maybe this is the buff it needs

[cloud sinew]

i think it's fine, red suits are suffering

[uncut matrix]

you forget that skipping increases all score requirements by (?) 50%

[wintry ice]

the only thing that have is good enough money generation in the case of diamonds

[lament bronze]

Rough gem dies in a ditch, the entire balance discussion if Thunk fomenting darker suits with (6) different jokers to help them is solely because bloodstone exist and he needs to show off the other suits and win people over for their choice of flush jokers

[wintry ice]

maybe we could make whiteboard a chip joker

[fervent quarry]

I joined to ask a bit of a weird question. It happened fast and I didn't take a screenshot, so chances are I'm just mistaken. But what I think happened is that I cast a card enhancement, maybe bonus, and it removed a debuff. I set up a quick test and cast The Hierophant during The Club, and as expected the debuff was still there. But is there any way or circumstance that this could be true?

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[hardy fable]

was the boss perhaps pillar

[atomic trout]

[wintry ice]

the undebuffing thing only happens against the pillar

[calm furnace]

rough gem would be good if eternal seltzer was a thing

[fervent quarry]

And as a secondary question, does the game store a log of played games, so you can retrace your steps?

[atomic trout]

Señor Huesos saving me from a shit run.

[wintry ice]

since the game considers it as a different card

[lament bronze]

Pillar debuffs an already played card, for some reason, changing any attribute of said card is enough grounds to justify it as a different one and rebuff it

[wintry ice]

no

but you could play the seed again ig

[fervent quarry]

That sounds like the most reasonable explanation.

[hardy fable]

no

now be a new active
member :D

[lament bronze]

Another bloodstone nerf and another round of leaving rough gem in the cold car in the parking garage

[wintry ice]

let's have a discussion about obelisk now!

[wintry ice]

i wouldn't mind if rough gem was just unchanged but bloodstone is very obviously flawed

[fervent quarry]

But I like idling in Discord servers.

[amber star]

me too

[hallow zenith]

I mean it ain't the weakest but I really don't fw it

[shell dagger]

mime

(speculative)

[wintry ice]

that's a copypasta

[hallow zenith]

W run

[hallow zenith]

Ohhh my bad

[lament bronze]

Bloodstone is flawed in the sense it's too damn good mentally even with it's terrible reliability shortcomings and score output, he's simply that guy

Hes always been that guy

[wintry ice]

in reality it's a top 10 joker but a lot of people disregard it before even trying it

[hallow zenith]

Agreed with that statement

[lament bronze]

Sure arrowhead is also close 2nd because people can't stop glazing plasma deck

[hallow zenith]

Which one? Obelisk?

[wintry ice]

yeah

[pale wolf]

yea, on pillar, it'll refresh the cards

[hallow zenith]

I love plasma

[lament bronze]

But bloodstone is undoubtedly the one people defend and argue the most

[pale wolf]

I misread the initial message

[hallow zenith]

I love bloodstone

[lament bronze]

This makes it so you really need to push a lot more for other jokers for the other suits like ..

Giving the dark suits 6 total jokers

[wintry ice]

would agate be better than arrowhead if chip jokers were more common

[lament bronze]

And kneecapping bloodstone into current badstone

[pale wolf]

it also refreshes the debuff on the double or nothing challenge deck

[lament bronze]

Yeah maybe, but then again arrowhead gets a lot of pr due to being plasma deck savior

Hard to argue with that

[stark karma]

@serene forge
https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/ah0qZIsAvr

[hallow zenith]

Uhh question

[wintry ice]

how strong was 2x bloodstone actually

[pale wolf]

any enhancement, rank changes or editions or seals won't work

[hallow zenith]

Does mime work only with reserve parking hits?

[stark karma]

Speaking of bloodstone

[wintry ice]

oh neat

[atomic trout]

Couldn't do it

[wintry ice]

for reserved parking, it only works if the card triggers yeah

[pale wolf]

double or nothing is basically pillar deck

[hallow zenith]

Fuuuck

[lament bronze]

Dummy strong but considering how every other suits (Diamonds be dammed) has 1 or 2 whole jokers for them it's quite nice, while also being 1in3 in several occasions

[potent tree]

why is hologram just a free win atp...

[lament bronze]

Even more output for even more chance of losing

[wintry ice]

so you need to have steel or something for it to be a 2x on triggers

[lament bronze]

Idk I just think that if darker suits can have 6 jokers that are almost copies of others so long as you're playing them

[wintry ice]

if the question was if mime only works with parking

[lament bronze]

Light suits should have their only 2 jokers be actually good

[wintry ice]

then no

[fervent quarry]

I'm pretty new to the game. I actually haven't touched anything but red deck/white stake. I just got an 18M chip run, so maybe I'm ready to expand.

[pale wolf]

most people in this Discord will consider skill a measure of consistency at Gold stake non-endless, so don't get too hung up about your high score

[lament bronze]

It's just that no matter how ass bloodstone becomes, he's still that guy pr wise

[lament bronze]

Plus high score is widely dependant in run luck too

[pale wolf]

endless mode is pretty shallow compared to high stakes non-endless

[lament bronze]

Planting anti nanlet seeds already lmao

[wintry ice]

the general playerbase likes big numbers

[lament bronze]

But yeah endless has a big filter around ante 11-13 which makes it nigh impossible to do anything with any other strategy that aren't the two most glazed ones

[silent quiver]

Shelby

Rides

The bus

[lament bronze]

Skill expression of high score be damned, if you aren't baron mime or idol bloodstone with a quintillion retriggers, your god run will DIE the same way some random schmuck's pairs run will

[wintry ice]

and ante 20 or so becomes impossible with anything that's not baron, perkeo or some gamebreaking bug

[lament bronze]

Way way earlier

Ante 13 is already hell for even godly runs

15 is where everyone but baron mime Perkeo bean bug dies

Or Id*l

[patent prairie]

yeah i can’t get past 15

[shell dagger]

sock idol beats ante 25 without any nat negatives or perkeo

[lament bronze]

Already preplanned this

[serene forge]

:(

[uncut matrix]

is that with or without red glass

[shell dagger]

with red glass poly

[uncut matrix]

ah

does baron trigger poly? no right

[shell dagger]

No

[lament bronze]

No

[uncut matrix]

gross

[shell dagger]

Baron wouldn’t trigger poly even if it was a held in hand affect

[lament bronze]

Another baron L

[indigo laurel]

Does dagger work on eternals? Ik it dosent delete but does it take mult

[lament bronze]

No

[indigo laurel]

That’d be busted right

[uncut matrix]

very

[alpine halo]

in what universe would this be balanced

[brave goblet]

free scaling forever

[inland helm]

eternal egg

[brave goblet]

on god

[charred plover]

should i fully pivot on the idol

[wintry ice]

you have baron and mime already

take ticket instead

[brave goblet]

scoring from 8 cards vs scoring from 5 cards, I wonder what's the better choice

[uncut matrix]

both

get negative idol sock

[potent tree]

well, another decent fullhouse run. shame i couldn't get any editions on the red seal poly kings

[pale wolf]

how

[visual arch]

Why is Perkeo considered so good for ante 8?

[potent tree]

combine with campfire for high xmult

the negative consumables can all be sold

[quartz ember]

econ, deck fix

[shell dagger]

it isnt praised for its ante 8 performance

it does the most in endless

[vocal rose]

it isn’t

[shell dagger]

at baseline it’s a golden joker

[vocal rose]

it’s endless potential is what people glaze it for

[quartz ember]

its ok

[shell dagger]

it’s very easy to make it into a better burnt joker

[vocal rose]

I updated my list to have perkeo above burnt

[shell dagger]

and if you find a hang man or death it’s gg

[vocal rose]

and burnt is in my S tier

I knew the placement of perkeo in relation to the other legendaries but I underrated it hella

[shell dagger]

i think a lot do

getting te right consumable to copy can still take an annoyingly long amount of time

[visual arch]

I love burnt

[shell dagger]

tbf im still iffy on perkeo vs chicot

i can see why people would rank each one higher than the other

[lament bronze]

Potential man vs reliability man

But at some points you might not need Chicot to rely on it because you are abusing broken strats that the game has no counterplay against

cough

I mean pair spam has nigh 0 counters and every counter is so laughably easy to get around that you have 0 issues with them

[shell dagger]

perkeo has similar issues that canio has

yet people here rank canio higher frequently

[atomic trout]

This is dumb

[lunar zealot]

Outback steakhouse

[dry jasper]

walahey!! got my 3rd win 🥹

[pale wolf]

perkeo is still great in nonendless tho

the legendaries are good jokers

[silent quiver]

Upvote

Chicot goat

Saved me many times

[thorny root]

does invis joker proc on verdant leaf?

[dry jasper]

got real lucky getting yorick earlier on

[thorny root]

oh alright, thanks

[magic tree]

debuffed means he has no effect whatsoever

np

[thorny root]

oh no, verdant leaf is the boss which on selling joker un-disables your playing cards

[magic tree]

so it works

sorry

[dry jasper]

you have to sell one joker ya

[void topaz]

now hear me out

pair build with splash and ancient joker

hmmm

[thorny root]

cool stuff

[void topaz]

i saw doc talk about it in a video and now im interested

ancient joker could be a x3 on pairs which is fun

[magic tree]

x5 even

[thorny root]

okay another quick question - among red, yellow and ghost deck - what's the hardest deck to gold stake

[magic tree]

easiest is yellow

2nd ghost maybe

[void topaz]

red with the extra discard coming back from blue stake is good though

[cloud sinew]

red imo, but for a newer player it's probably ghost

[void topaz]

could it not be easir for newer player

[thorny root]

alright, ill start with red and end with yellow maybe

[void topaz]

cause the seed can just give you an alley oop

[twin lantern]

hi

[cloud sinew]

it could but i think a newer player probably overuses the detrimental spectrals and underutilises the good ones

[magic tree]

hi

[twin lantern]

nice to meet you

[void topaz]

i feel like most people would see incantantion and know its ass

[twin lantern]

im yumi

[magic tree]

im a photochad enjoyer

[cloud sinew]

im more meaning wraith and ouija

[atomic trout]

It's glitched

[void topaz]

wraith is one of the alley oops im talking bout

[atomic trout]

Where the score?

[void topaz]

you get ancient and win instatly

i dont think people take ouija

[cloud sinew]

you went to the main menu so the score requirement bugged and doesnt display, you can see it by going into Run Info -> Blinds

[shell dagger]

they do

[void topaz]

maybe like twice

[cloud sinew]

newer players tend to not understand how big of a deal handsize is

[pale wolf]

painted ouija is okay

ill play a painted run rn

[magic tree]

painted deck is a pain

pun intended

[void topaz]

i won like 3 of my runs trying to gold stake it with ancient

[main delta]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmh

[void topaz]

like blue purple and orange were all ancient runs

[atomic trout]

I'm literally blind then haha

[void topaz]

i mean

no

[magic tree]

shoot the moon ofc

[void topaz]

youll propably die before mime shows up

[cloud sinew]

it's a8 so

[wheat haven]

Showing me those beautiful trousers round 1 is not fair

[void topaz]

and its easier to pivot to idol here if you want score

[void topaz]

speaking of idol

[cloud sinew]

😭

[magic tree]

thats why yellow deck is goated

[shell dagger]

best vs worst ante 1 joker

[pale wolf]

now watch this drive, brother
