[signal frigate]

That's even more money

It's theoretically possible

[white zodiac]

what

[signal frigate]

I'm spitballing here

Just pretend I said something smart

[vital cliff]

Idk. Figured my chips are always neglected in this build, and had the 2 interest vouchers so I figured it could be strong late game. But I’m a noob 🤷🏻

[white zodiac]

im

ok

[hybrid tendon]

oops all foils

[white zodiac]

well for runs like these you generally go with plasma

[serene forge]

foiled again :(

[signal frigate]

When we're talking about multiplying your multiplier, chips won't matter, that red number is gonna be so big, chips aren't gonna do anything

Again, it's like a droplet in an ocean

I feel like "Xchips" would actually just fuckin break the game if it were added to Vanilla

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[vital cliff]

Well appreciate the advice. I never thought of abusing the serpent boss for higher hand count.

[signal frigate]

It's a known tech

Just for nanlets

[vital cliff]

Well good to know. I’ll pop back in later and let yall know how it goes. Thank you so much 🙏

[wintry ice]

it'd just be a nothingburger feature

[white zodiac]

i have a copy spaghetti specifically for nanlets to achieve the unidentified score

[acoustic kettle]

Breaks plasma

[lost vault]

wouldnt really do anything

[wintry ice]

do we have xchips / 3

[lost vault]

:3

[cloud sinew]

we already have xchips :3 (flint)

[white zodiac]

ain’t that the same thing

oh

[signal frigate]

It's gonna make chips even more viable in Gold Stake runs

[wintry ice]

erm actually it divides them by 2

[white zodiac]

x.5

[lost vault]

truthnuke

[lost vault]

it would not change anything about the viability of chips in gold stake runs

[acoustic kettle]

I want my broken plasma runs yes please

[velvet patrol]

Uh...

[wintry ice]

30 x 2 x 15 = 30 x 15 x 2

[lost vault]

it would be pretty op on plasma yes

[unborn cliff]

[velvet patrol]

Wow this is the most broken I've ever seen it get

[serene forge]

[hybrid tendon]

I barely have any for now so that's not an issue

[unborn cliff]

❌

[hybrid tendon]

judgement kills you after 3 or 4 pretty sure

ectoplasms

not judgment

[serene forge]

nope only next round

First you get your winning hand, of course

WOW

AND A NEGATIVE TRADING CARD

[calm moth]

Im new to this extremely addictive game. How do Chips work?

[unborn cliff]

they are what you multiply

[potent tree]

i'm guessing bbc is going to be sold?

[unborn cliff]

chad

[white zodiac]

ballot

[potent tree]

chad is my money engine

i need it for constellation scaling

[unborn cliff]

cavendish is your winning engine

[calm moth]

So its chips and card value times multipler

[serene forge]

chad

[potent tree]

damn i see. very well then

[serene forge]

cav wins you dont need more scaling

[white zodiac]

not that you were in danger of being poor in the first place

[potent tree]

oh forqie i just rerolled and found the stone of blood

i heard you hate bloodstone

[white zodiac]

bloodstone what’s that

[potent tree]

tempted to skip here

or has cert done its work

heck i could even sell grimbo if i wanted, it's only at 26 rn

good show, yorick came in at just the right time

UHH ANOTHER SOUL?? that's the second this ante

now surely cert is dead.

CHICKEN STRIPS

sell chicot for card sharp?

[serene forge]

no

[potent tree]

i mean it gives bbc more xmult

[serene forge]

i mean you won already so do whatever

lol

[potent tree]

if the eye appears i may be screwed

but what's the worst that can happen.

[minor portal]

The eye, presumably.

[smoky vessel]

can debuffed jokers still get gold stickers

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[lunar zealot]

yes

[calm moth]

How does turtle bean work?

[pale wolf]

wish that was relatable

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[honest dawn]

I carry the obelisk

[woven spire]

I was watching the balatro orchesta theme at the GOTY

wtf is this deck

holographic blue deck

lol

[potent tree]

i believe that went unused in the main game. it was present in demos

[woven spire]

interesting, never seen it before

[twin lantern]

hello!!!! !!! !!!!

[potent tree]

"oh no, the eye!"
"what about it?"

[serene forge]

I hate Smiley Face

[woven spire]

What about bloodstone.

Not hating it anymore???

[nova mantle]

the game gave me a legendary but it has wicked synergy 😭

[pliant jewel]

sell yorick trust

[serene forge]

I fucking hate everyone

[steep iron]

still worth it

just play all of you're hands to scale grimbo

and try to not oneshot blind

[honest dawn]

Bus

I prefer a bus to a groker

[pliant jewel]

well the poll isn't necessarily asking "which joker do you think is the best viability wise"
people like photograph more because haha >looks inside >photochad funny meme

[honest dawn]

Groker has a meme in Spanish

But I don't think it has any memes in English.

By "meme" I mean that it's one of the most well-known.

[potent tree]

damn. looks like we didn't have enough to win this time...and i can't even unlock liquidation thanks to having only 9 vouchers (wanted to keep clearance sale out for temperance value)

and yes before you say anything i didn't see no mimes here

yorick x16 from ante 8, constellation x9.8 from ante 6

[honest dawn]

Clearance sales make things cheaper, it's true that it makes Temperance earn less, but I think the value it gives you when buying things far outweighs what it takes from Temperance.

[serene forge]

yeah

I know

[honest dawn]

The voucher I avoid is the one that gives you cards in the shop and the one with the highest probability of finding a planet (if I'm not playing constellation).

[serene forge]

you had egg

egg value is retained even with clearance

[potent tree]

i didn't get egg until last ante tbh, i just took it along for the ride

ok i may have lied, it's been here since like ante 10

also no hieroglyph so that's funky

[slim sky]

94 billion? That’s insane 🍻

[potent tree]

94 billion is what we needed

and i've been to ante 14 before so this is nothing.

my best hand there was a little under 10 billion

[zinc willow]

Need actual help guys

[slim sky]

I feel so small 😂

[zinc willow]

What do I do?

[potent tree]

negative scary face is super flashbang

[nova mantle]

ik it is but its mad funny 😭

[zinc willow]

No reason to drop it i can think of

[nova mantle]

grimbo has perpetually stayed at 18 mult cuz i got the discard voucher and i oneshot blinds

[potent tree]

well it won't help any to drop

you'll lose the extra joker slot

[potent tree]

yeah the run i just finished i had grimbo until ante 8

[zinc willow]

But should I swap banana?

[potent tree]

he never got above 25 mult

no cavendish is unconditionally powerful

i'd keep

i'd get rid of tribe honestly.

[zinc willow]

So forget swapping g anything and stay as i am?

[potent tree]

tribe is contributing much less than cav

[zinc willow]

I assumed idol would be thr hard swap but tribe?

[potent tree]

if you've deckfixed around one single card then sock will provide all the retriggers idol needs

if you get chad landed on idol's target, free 8 xmult

[zinc willow]

True

[potent tree]

and then another x2 with sock

[zinc willow]

Im just a random spade deck

[potent tree]

if you have flush five of the target card (king of spades i guess?) that's a grand total of 2^16 xmult

[nova mantle]

ice cream, gluttonous and bootstraps gold stickers!!

rick my beloved ❤️‍🩹

[potent tree]

so 65536 xmult.

well never mind

you'll be copying sock

math is getting harder for me...

[woven spire]

cual xd?

[potent tree]

ok so that's 1 initial trigger, 2 chad triggers, bp and sock triggers on the first card

[zinc willow]

Had to grab screen shot

[potent tree]

then 3 triggers on each of the other 4 cards

[nova mantle]

grimbo? havent heard of him in the spanish community

i see more memes of swashbuckler

[woven spire]

Mhm

never seen that before

[zinc willow]

BTW @potent tree I appreciate the honest advice. Many thanks

[potent tree]

yeah my brain is crashing i need to sleep

[slim sky]

Great game. Later

[potent tree]

graduation ceremony is at 9 am so gotta get up early.

[potent tree]

i've learned a lot from people here so it's not me you need to thank.

[woven spire]

go to sleep gng u deserve that

[zinc willow]

Wife and I just put the baby down we are trying to get through another episode of IZombie lol

[woven spire]

Crazy how balatro unites people from all ages, glad your life going that good man!

[zinc willow]

Not too bad for a 29 yo fuck up

[woven spire]

didnt mean it like that lol most of us here are waaaaaay far of getting a baby haha

[zinc willow]

Oh naa bro, self deprivation is the salve for my soul

Depreciation

Deprecation

Shit I cant spell

[woven spire]

ahh, with a wife, a child and time for balatro i would be really happy ngl

[zinc willow]

True. If its not a out of the water question, how far apart are we in age? There's atleast 5 people in here over 40. Only reason I ask

[woven spire]

Yeah dw, im 18 rn

This went from game discussion to live discussion quick lol

[zinc willow]

Shiiiiiiiitt, early 20s were rough for me. Idle hands will fuck ya up quicker than anything. And yeah sorry the old ADD is a bitch

[zinc tide]

Analysis.

[zinc willow]

Drives the wife UP THE WALL

[zinc willow]

What's the deck lookin like?

[lost vault]

chad is puke

[zinc tide]

Blowing you up cuz

[lost vault]

itz not good for endless what can i say

[woven spire]

haha dw abt it, life looking good, glad is the same way to you haha

[zinc tide]

That's why I'm fishing for buckskin or another blueprint

[woven spire]

Gotta teach that child the ways of jimbo tho

lol

[zinc tide]

Using chad to exploit the lucky cards and get revenue

[zinc willow]

Just try and help folks not have to suffer the way I made myself suffer.

[lost vault]

balalatra

[woven spire]

You should be proud of that

Thats really important these days

[woven spire]

balalalo

[zinc willow]

Suffering or learning from it?

[woven spire]

honestly, both.

[zinc tide]

Nuh uh, go away, I want buckskin or blueprint

[zinc willow]

Can't argue, so that answered my next question. Definetly a fellow American lol

[woven spire]

From spain actually haha

Tho im really into american culture

[lost vault]

im murican

[zinc tide]

Boys.... Mission accomplished

[lost vault]

fuck yeha

[zinc willow]

Then I havnt given the Spainards a fair shake and I appologize

[naive galleon]

stock is bussin

why did i say that

[zinc tide]

WOOO YEEAAA BABBBY!!!!

[honest dawn]

To be honest, in the Spanish-speaking community they focus much more on Endless Mode than on Gold Stake

[zinc tide]

HELL YEA!!!

[honest dawn]

It's something I hate.

[faint linden]

Any tips for Purple Stake?

I'm using Checkered

[woven spire]

nothing bad abt that, just diferent cultures, completely understandable

[woven spire]

me lo robo.

[honest dawn]

Have a good economy and play anything

[honest dawn]

Lo robe de Google bro

[serene forge]

Soup

[honest dawn]

🥹

[zinc willow]

I interested myself in German and Russian Society more than others. Things to admire, Things to watch, and things to go ahhhh... that's just everywhere hub

[serene forge]

consider building into flush house/flush five if you can

[vale mesa]

im new and
how the fuck do you get past ante 12

[zinc tide]

I wanna thank my mama, my dog, my cat, the yellow deck, local thunk-

RED SEAL!!!!

[honest dawn]

I'd say flush house is actually easier and better.

In checkered

[woven spire]

as a society we aint got much to offer, but spain is one good country to have a good time in

[honest dawn]

Why it's easier to play and scales better

[naive galleon]

the hardest thing about purple stake is finding a scoring engine, and also where the game starts getting hard. luckily, paint brush statistically guarantees a flush on checkered so you can spam flushes to buy some time

(also spamming flushes makes obelisk pivot possible)

[woven spire]

Our story is one of the best too))

[faint linden]

So pray for Sun, World, or Strength essentially?

[zinc willow]

I really like Austrailia, its my 2nd choice if the US like flooded or somthing

[naive galleon]

hanged men also get the job done

[zinc willow]

Will agree, both in history and lore

[faint linden]

So any of those four?

[naive galleon]

cracking open early spectrals and gambling on an immolate, while high risk, can give your game direction

[woven spire]

Australia is def a beauty of a country, but im not waking up with a big ass spider im my bed.

[zinc tide]

Gourmet shit man

And all at ante 10

[woven spire]

agree

[woven spire]

trib just being the best legendary

[zinc tide]

Definitely man

[faint linden]

I thought that was Perkeo

[zinc tide]

Uhh, Perkeo is good, but you definitely neeed a voucher, the telescope one

[naive galleon]

both are insanely powerful in the right conditions, trib's condition is easier

[zinc willow]

I have to agree, I got family there

[woven spire]

you cant tell perkeo to score

[zinc tide]

I hit a soul card in Ante 3, get trib, next shop, I get a spectral pack and hit Ankh. Feeling Hella great

[zinc willow]

He could be poly🤣

[woven spire]

lmao

10 mult for emotional purposes

[naive galleon]

a perkeocule if you would

[zinc willow]

Thats funny as fuck

[woven spire]

1.5x*

A negative perkeo is better than a negative trib tho

[naive galleon]

perkeo x brainstorm x blueprint is such a cute throuple

[woven spire]

getting money and easy deckfix

[zinc tide]

Damnnn, if only lucky cat showed up earlier bro

I hit like a lot with my lucky cards

[naive galleon]

and a shmacking temperance boost, too

tho i guess negative trib also does that

[vale wharf]

Brainstorm...?

[naive galleon]

credit card in the reroll for sure

[vale wharf]

Should I sell michel?

[naive galleon]

no, the scoring is more important than the copy

[minor portal]

I think you should buy brainstorm because it would be funny.

[vale wharf]

Brainana

[lunar zealot]

honestly there's a case here for selling banana and buying grabber

[zinc tide]

Feeling quite naughty with this one

[atomic trout]

This is awkward.

[zinc tide]

Uhhh damn

[spring radish]

anyone feel like doing 2v2(i have no friends )

[vale wharf]

Too late now 💔

[woven spire]

2v2?

[naive galleon]

true, +1 hand goes so hard

[spring radish]

yes..

[woven spire]

how does that work? ive only played 1v1

[spring radish]

share score and deck and can share money with 20% cost

[woven spire]

thats fun

im down

[spring radish]

cool

[atomic trout]

I just realized that the Burglar can't rob a House, heehee

[spring radish]

we need 2 more tho dm me

[vale wharf]

This run took a turn for sure

[spring radish]

left or right

🤔

[lost vault]

all roads lead to pairs

[spring radish]

2/4 2v2 🤔

[lost vault]

whar

[bleak hemlock]

whiteboard

[vale wharf]

I can even just play high card

[spring radish]

pick it up fr

[woven spire]

Woah

[bleak hemlock]

yeah

mrow

[minor portal]

One deleted message.

[spring radish]

anyone else here down for 2v2 thooo

[pale wolf]

it's balatrodle time east coast /s

[minor portal]

I don't even have balatro fr

[spring radish]

mpreg

[woven spire]

what.

[woven spire]

WHAT.

[lost vault]

gempreg

[bleak hemlock]

pergert

[woven spire]

How is it free if standard packs cost monee

[bleak hemlock]

ill deep fry you in vegetable oil

[cerulean parcel]

It will happen to all of us

[bleak hemlock]

satellite is indeed a great joker

[vale wharf]

No skill run

[atomic trout]

This is awkard.

[spring radish]

need 2v2 3/4

[finite wharf]

sometimes white stake makes some odd builds

[vale wharf]

Truly brainless run

[spring radish]

you wanna do 2v2

[lost vault]

no

[spring radish]

we still need one more sadge

[woven spire]

odd but fun

[vale wharf]

Huh???? Wtf??

Red deck appearance

[naive galleon]

ankh/invis just does that

[vale wharf]

I see...

First time I'm seeing this

[bleak hemlock]

this is such a goofball build

[signal frigate]

Cloning a joker for some reason does that

[vale wharf]

This run just keeps getting more effortless

[sacred trench]

Purple stake win on Anaglyph

Photochad made this an easy win

[bleak hemlock]

i love 🦭

[vale wharf]

Blackboard didn't trigger for the first hand...

[sacred trench]

I actually bet purple stake first type compared to my 15 attempts on blue

[bleak hemlock]

yall think constellation is the most consistent x mult for high stakes?

[sacred trench]

Hologram is

I would say they are second best

Or third if you have a lucky cat

[vale wharf]

But it's so expensive

$30 for +1 xmult

[sacred trench]

Hologram and Certificate

[bleak hemlock]

hologram, for me, has a side effect where once i get it, i dont get any standard packs for the rest of the run

[sacred trench]

If only we all could get a DNA on those runs

I did!

[bleak hemlock]

i had a holo dna certificate stone jonk run once

🫦

[sacred trench]

Right here

[sacred trench]

What a run

[stark karma]

Yall think negatives description/ name will be changed lmao

In the update

[opal delta]

oh my god I can finally win

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wintry ice]

generally considered to be cavendish

or yorick

[wintry ice]

the fact that blue seals are extremely sought after makes that a non-issue

also you're expected to have proper economy in high stakes

[crystal field]

how did this happen

[cerulean parcel]

Welp

[fickle mesa]

well you also get value from your desired planet card

[vale wharf]

What is your name

[fickle mesa]

so in reality as long as ur getting the planet card you want you're not wasting any money since youd spend that on said planet card anyways

additionally with blue seals you dont have to spend any money at all and simply get the planet card

so in practice its much much lower

[vale wharf]

That's actually good

I didn't think of that

[fickle mesa]

same with hologram but to a lesser extent since some of the cards you add you want to be adding anyways

but its lesser because many of the cards youd want to add decrease in value later in the run

meanwhile unless you're truly up on the top in terms of planet levels you never rly need to stop opening planet packs

and usually thats just because "spending 4 dollars at a 1/3 chance at my desired planet isnt worth it anymore but the guaranteed .1x mult has now made it worth it"

[fickle mesa]

this is true of a lot of scaling jokers too

[vale wharf]

I just don't see myself buying those many planet cards in one run

[fickle mesa]

i mean ur not spending money on planet cards that arent ur main hand without const

but u are spending money on celestial packs

[ivory reef]

FUCK YOU

[fickle mesa]

since 4 dollars for a shot at your desired planet card is very important

and also even if i had a build that didnt care at all about planet levels

[wintry ice]

scaling xmult jokers are supposed to change how you play

[vale wharf]

Hmm???

[wintry ice]

and then there's yorick for some reason

[fickle mesa]

id still be willing to spend 30 dollars for doubling my score

and also for spending said doubling into a tripling

and said tripling into a quadrupling etc etc

[vale wharf]

I really like Cavendish and card sharp

[fickle mesa]

since like u wanna spend money into making urself stronger right

[wintry ice]

at worst constellation gets to like 3x if you get it before ante 6

which is cavendish level

[vale wharf]

What about drivers license?

[wintry ice]

drivers needs some setup

[fickle mesa]

how do u make urself stronger? by spending money on the constellation in runs with the constellation

[wintry ice]

but you should be able to get it up by the time that you actually need it

[fickle mesa]

ultimately this game once u have the econ sorted is about "how do i make myself strong"

[wintry ice]

it's weird how dark suits get to have a decent chips, mult and xmult joker and also literally cavendish 2 while light suits inly get to have decent money generation and bloodstone

[fickle mesa]

meaning almost any xmult joker usually ends up as alright at least because xmult is usually how u make urself strong late in this game

[wintry ice]

unless the cost for scaling is really high

[twin lantern]

Best Balatro player in the world?

[wintry ice]

(throwback)

[wintry ice]

widely considered to be dr spectred

[fickle mesa]

honestly even throwback can be okay sometimes as long as ur careful abt ur skips

[wintry ice]

aka balatro university

[cerulean parcel]

Good god

[twin lantern]

Yeah bros a genius

[wintry ice]

he's the most consistent when it comes to winning so

[cerulean parcel]

Probably Balatro university or relith

[zinc tide]

Chat, I'm thinking of something here

What if....

I mean.... if you think about it

[naive galleon]

you can certainly try to pivot but returns are more than diminishing

[zinc tide]

I just gotta turn all my kings into steel cards and only use queens

[zinc tide]

True...

Well, I'll stick to what I got then

[fickle mesa]

like u can get an arcana pack the question becomes okay im getting 8 dollars of value (possibly more since id often be willing to spend more money on a mega arcana) does whatever else id use that round for (rerolls, second packs, scaling, more money) find itself exchangable for .25x mult on this thing

and like depending on ur setup i think that the answer can sometimes be yes

plus early game skips are more frequent than late game ones and its not too uncommon to already have a little juice on it

[lament bronze]

Puppy's getting euthanized today guys my internet provider is still hanging me up if they will bring service back of not

Had to fork over some more cash into my mobile data to stay connected at a h+ signal

[fickle mesa]

they are treating puppies so poorly

not giving them any internet!

[karmic jetty]

Gold stickered Luchador and ancient joker same run WOO

[lament bronze]

I NEED to argue with people online not have to worry about how each 5 minutes of reels costs almost a quarter of my data plan

[wintry ice]

i see

[wintry ice]

also idt yoi're making it through a pivot like this

[fickle mesa]

i think throwback is one of the worse xmults but if u pilot it carefully i think it can be okay

[wintry ice]

i'd consider it better than the 3 endless exclusive jokers

as low of a bar as that is

[fickle mesa]

do not lump trib in there

[wintry ice]

i was lumping bloodstone

imo trib is like a somewhat better aj

actually it's quite a bit easier to work with so maybe not somewhat

[fickle mesa]

ajs easier to fully lean into but you can like just use trib on a pair build and have it work fine i think

i mean thats 4x if u can get chad or like just a lot of levels or steel cards or glass cards it can be pretty powerful

[wintry ice]

you can also use it with 4oak later on

[fickle mesa]

you can technically use aj on non flush builds but like. ive never done so and i see no purpose

that too

[serene forge]

straight flush aj

[wintry ice]

it's usable for straights

as silly as that is

[fickle mesa]

its like a weaker flower pot kinda

unless u have chad

or like idk dusk

[naive galleon]

aj + dusk does in fact go insane

[fickle mesa]

on a straight build

[naive galleon]

well

you could

[fickle mesa]

itd be like okay thats pretty good but i wouldnt call it insane

[karmic jetty]

I just used it on a 3oak run

[fickle mesa]

i can imagine that

[karmic jetty]

Paired nicely with Chad

[fickle mesa]

u can probably find a way to do it with pairs or hc since it basically just adds a polychrome to ur hand in that case

[cyan rain]

for the better

[crystal field]

1 joker away from c++ neow

[cyan rain]

all the failed attempts

[cyan rain]

lead to the win

[fickle mesa]

oh nice job

[karmic jetty]

Nice! I’m at 118/150

[crystal field]

yesssss

i just need the big famoly

[cyan rain]

we from white to purple

wee

[karmic jetty]

Good luck

I think tribe is the only one in that group I’m missing

[zinc tide]

It is what it is... rip. Greatest run I ever had

Beautiful stuff

[serene forge]

's lament

[crystal field]

yes…. slamen’t

[scenic nebula]

19 Q’s / 11 K’s

Should I dump a chad for BP and pair it with trib or leave?

Or photo?

[fringe crest]

yuhhh plasma gold stake done

[serene forge]

bye photograph

[smoky vessel]

lmao I bought an ankh with 5 eternals and now it just sits there

[scenic nebula]

Already did that

[lunar zealot]

copy trib and then copy sock

[scenic nebula]

All these polychrome red seals

[hardy fable]

I like my ice cream on a stick

[hardy fable]

saved

[minor portal]

Ice cream is not something meant to be enjoyed, it should be considered a time trial that you must overcome.

[bleak hemlock]

I love to cream

[minor portal]

the ice befalls you

[bleak hemlock]

The ice is often used up before the cream arrives sadly

[hardy fable]

cookies n cream best flavor trust

[fervent wolf]

Yorick is awesome

[minor portal]

worst opinion ever award

[bleak hemlock]

Rick is a bro

[hardy fable]

you never got a cookies n cream with a big chunk of cookie that's why fr

[fervent wolf]

Mr. Bones is the most loyal joker, dude will always take one for the team when he can

[minor portal]

I'm just saying there are a lot of better flavors than cardboard and cream

[fervent wolf]

I second this

[hardy fable]

uhh you just buying the wrong brand fr

[minor portal]

don't cope with me and your mid ice cream

[bleak hemlock]

Vanilla is peak 🗣️

Good high quality vanilla ice cream tastes unreal

[minor portal]

Out of the three neapolitan ice cream flavors, I think chocolate is the worst in the trio.

[bleak hemlock]

Jesus

I like chocolate

I like chocolate cake way more than chocolate ice cream tho

[minor portal]

Strawberry is too peak

and vanilla is pretty cool

[bleak hemlock]

Strawberry always feels so artificial idk. I love butterscotch

[minor portal]

depends on the brand.

[acoustic kettle]

Vanilla so good

[minor portal]

Don't believe I ever had a butterscotch ice cream.

[bleak hemlock]

Give it a try

[minor portal]

I'll consider it if I find it

I remember I had a banana fudge flavor before

that was gas

[acoustic kettle]

What is balatro ice cream

[bleak hemlock]

Chocolate chip ice cream

Because it gives

... Chips

[minor portal]

Either dyed vanilla or the worst combination of flavors imaginable

[unreal iron]

+100 chips, -5 chips per hand played

i believe

it just looks like the stereotypical ice cream you'd find in a movie or something

or an animated show

[minor portal]

yeah but what flavor would it have

[acoustic kettle]

100 chips though

That's some ice cream

[unreal iron]

ima be so fr i think it could be a bunch of fruit flavours

like forest fruit or something

cherry, mango?

it could also be something sweet but not fruity

[minor portal]

That could be a possibility but most bright ice cream like that tend to have some odd flavor

[unreal iron]

i could see blue being caramel

[minor portal]

like cotton candy or something

[unreal iron]

what does turtle bean even taste like

[minor portal]

why would blue be caramel and not yellow

[bleak hemlock]

What

[unreal iron]

turtles?

[bleak hemlock]

How is blue caramal

?

😭

[unreal iron]

idk

[acoustic kettle]

Blue coloring

[unreal iron]

yeah

[bleak hemlock]

Blue is blooberry

Or black current

[acoustic kettle]

Blueberries are purple

[unreal iron]

but what if its not fruit flavour

[unreal iron]

blueberry is advertised as blue usually

[acoustic kettle]

Cotton candy

[unreal iron]

it COULD be cotton candy

isnt it similar to caramel anyways

[minor portal]

we must ask localthunk about this

[minor portal]

no

Kind of but no

[unreal iron]

i havent had cotton candy in so long

[bleak hemlock]

We need more food jokers

[unreal iron]

the fridge

[bleak hemlock]

They are so good for early game gold stake

[unreal iron]

preserves all food items

:3

[minor portal]

the evil burger

[bleak hemlock]

:3

[acoustic kettle]

There should be like a preservative joker

[unreal iron]

the fridge

[acoustic kettle]

Food jokers no longer perish but is only half effective

[acoustic kettle]

I prefer hard ass chemicals

[minor portal]

Silica packet

[opal delta]

negative riff raff

[unreal iron]

madness value holy

[tranquil steppe]

Ramen, egg, ice cream, popcorn, bull, nanners 1 and 2, bean, seltzer, soda

[minor portal]

can you really count bull

[bleak hemlock]

We not making it past ante 5 ahh build

[acoustic kettle]

I mean every joker is perishable

The clowns die

Eventually

[bleak hemlock]

Are we clowns?

[unreal iron]

i mean in that case something else could be edible

anything

[minor portal]

might as well consider splash and flower pot

[acoustic kettle]

Bull is edible

[unreal iron]

but its not a food item

it doesnt perish after set amount of hands or actions

[acoustic kettle]

Bull steak

[minor portal]

baron is edible

[unreal iron]

definition of food item

and it doesnt do it

[minor portal]

does clown cannibalism count

[acoustic kettle]

Perishables are just cancer

[proper bronze]

ohio ascension

[opal delta]

it destroyed my negative riff raff :(

[floral mural]

i guess ttm is getting replaced by bloodstone

(for sticker purposes since bloodstone is a bad uncommon

4 stickers at once is nice

(bloodstone rough gem popcorn and acrobat)

i had a burnt joker which already had a sticker so i sold it ante 8 for the lucky popcorn

[ember turtle]

sticker farming is interesting

i have like 130 gold stickers right now

[proper bronze]

no it's not

[proper bronze]

superposition

greedy joker

[floral mural]

bloodst9ne sucks ass and is uncommon so its rarer so why not get that out the way

[ember turtle]

bloodstone is like if misprint and misprint had a baby

[vale shale]

c

[proper bronze]

misprint and lusty joker

[floral mural]

misprint and ancient joker and it sucks ass

[errant brook]

Another great run dying due to no Ectoplasm (and second re-roll voucher)

I thought I had this for certain

This run had back to back naturally negative Juggler and Drunkard

Ectoplasm in ante 25 FML

Turtle Bean 242 deep in ante 24 but with magic trick and tarot merchant that was never happening

[thorny axle]

I HEAR MY CALLING

[quartz ember]

we love 50/50

[thorny axle]

goated ass shop (i won the 50/50)

[wind bolt]

ez gameplay

[quartz ember]

needs some high card levels

[thorny axle]

can we normalise having a random cavendish in naneinf runs

[wind bolt]

Yep

[thorny axle]

should i take brainstorm at home or baseball card

[wind bolt]

Without seed, a run with naneinf it like 1 in 10000

I think

[quartz ember]

bbc

[quartz ember]

more like 1 in 10, provided you play plasma deck

[hardy fable]

reroll for me

[unborn apex]

My first high card win

It got way too easy with this combo

[lunar zealot]

absolutely fucking diabolical

[unborn apex]

hanging chad is doing nothing, i shouldn't have sold my showman

[vale wharf]

390 on each runner, that was fun

[thorny axle]

I DID IT

[lunar zealot]

🥹

eat your heart out yorick

[foggy ember]

whats the mod used to show the stats beneath the jokers?

[thorny axle]

joker displays

[foggy ember]

coooo

l

<<This card exudes the feeling of REGRET...>>

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of hiker?

[acoustic kettle]

Hiking

Just get a chad atp

[foggy ember]

i REGRET nothingggg!!

[wind bolt]

when is the next update coming?

[acoustic kettle]

When

[thorny axle]

eventually

[foggy ember]

been getting some cursed runs today ngl

[storm field]

What the fuck is this run

[foggy ember]

2 legendaries by ante 2 woah

and you duped trib too

very nice

[storm field]

Pain

[floral mural]

and thats another bad stucker obtained

huh

im gonna fucking lose it

what do you mean 1 round

ONLY WHEN I WANT IT TO STAY

[floral mural]

its all good i got luchador showman fortune teller and astronomer

showman is the real exciting one since that one is actively detrimental

[vale shale]

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

[tame sluice]

blue deck

[proper turtle]

will seeing double work if my played cards are debuffed?

[tame sluice]

is ur club and 2nd suit debuffed

[proper turtle]

should I do this?

[tame sluice]

if so it lowkey won’t

[proper turtle]

verdant leaf

[tame sluice]

how important is photograph if u don’t even have a retriever

I guess play the big blind and buy a joker u can sell for the boss blind

[floral mural]

its painted deck

4 slots

[proper turtle]

a non face card straight amounts to 70-80k points

[tame sluice]

My Bad We Did Not See

[floral mural]

and seeing double gets ruined by debuffs

[tame sluice]

lol I guess reroll and hope u get bell

[floral mural]

as much as that reroll looks bad it seems you do need photograph

bell or acorn are needed

the other half will demolish you

[proper turtle]

well, fingers crossed and lets see

haha

[floral mural]

did you get vessel?

[tame sluice]

goat

[floral mural]

oh thats good then

[proper turtle]

photo won me in 1 hand

holy hell, my internet

[queen kindle]

damn bruh ok jeez ill buy a planet

[vale shale]

Ok ok.

[tame sluice]

No just help me do it instead

[finite wharf]

balarto

[queen kindle]

sells drunkard
buys judgement
judgement gives me drunkard

[violet bear]

Well

Drunk people tend to have a lack of judgment

[proper bronze]

i finish a lot of my runs without even level uping anything

[mortal needle]

Wishful thinking, but I'm kinda upset this didn't increase square joker value 2 extra times

[heady narwhal]

bp/bs if localthunk didn't lock tf in

every scaling joker explicitly says "don't run the code that scales this joker if blueprint is being triggered currently"

[tame sluice]

Bro imma need someone to like help me beat gold stake blue deck

[vale shale]

I won

[tame sluice]

Ok help me do it too cos how the FUCK

[vale shale]

5 hands is a real good buff I'm.ngl

[tame sluice]

Yeah but 2 discards

[vale shale]

You can overcome it yourself

[tame sluice]

Fuuuuckkk

[spring radish]

yes search up smod balatro

[lunar zealot]

longt straighjt

[spring radish]

[magic tree]

[wraith summit]

[pale wolf]

You need to get 16 enhanced cards first

oh my god i got so lucky on todays balatrodle
answer in 2, spoil tag ur stuff with ||this||
||the second image is what i did like yesterday or the day before just fir fun which is why i know there's so many options for rare $8 nonscaling xmult||

[wraith summit]

i cant believe i cant download this mod because im poor

[pale wolf]

what

the mod costs money?

[wraith summit]

no

[pale wolf]

oh, you pirated the game?

[wraith summit]

idk

i didntr download it

my bro did

maybe he pirated it

no balatro mods for me then

[magic tree]

are you on steam?

[wraith summit]

no

[magic tree]

thats why

[wraith summit]

wdym

[magic tree]

you need the official game from steam

[wraith summit]

well yeah

i know

[magic tree]

cause it says no licenses

[wraith summit]

i figured

[magic tree]

so tell your brother he's literally a fool

[wraith summit]

🥹

[magic tree]

[lunar zealot]

chat it's ante 2

do i win

[ember turtle]

fool is my favourite balatro character

also who's that guy on localthunk's pfp

is he him

[wraith summit]

if you scale the obelisk well enough

then that build might be able to win alone

but its not reliable

[lunar zealot]

what?

that question was completely rhetorical

[wraith summit]

i had a big obelisk yesterday 🤑

[wraith summit]

i meann that doesnt mean i cant answer tho

[supple night]

Guys is mobile modded balatro allowed now or still not

[lunar zealot]

we are not allowed to talk about that

[pale wolf]

it is a guaranteed win

[lunar zealot]

gyatt DAMN

eat your fucking heart out yorick lmao

funniest part is the rental blueprint positively killed my red card scaling for like

2 entire antes

[pale wolf]

nice-1

[lunar zealot]

if you think about it

[pale wolf]

no faceless value?

[lunar zealot]

68±1 is the perfect number

[lunar zealot]

i didn't get faceless till like ante 4

[pale wolf]

x

ah

[magic tree]

campfire first shop :p

[obsidian patrol]

Thats bait

[magic tree]

I took the bait

[solid garden]

I got the C++!!

[torpid spoke]

I got my C++ after one and half year of playing the Balatro. Sixth Sense is the most difficult one to complete...

[solid garden]

GG!

[torpid spoke]

You too! GG

[obsidian patrol]

I am very glad i got my gros michele sticker earlx

It just didnt break for 6 antes

[torpid spoke]

Playing white stake after C++ just like Rock Lee removing all the weight, feel super determine and fast in decision in every ante

[gloomy swallow]

We goated

always take credit card

[torpid spoke]

Best Combo

[dense glade]

I have a choice

And holy crap

Which one?

[torpid spoke]

Madness gold stake win is the most satisfying win ever. How and when to buy a locked joker.

[dense glade]

Noice

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of hiker?

[hardy fable]

worse than me

[neat ore]

Oh my it's you

[neat ore]

Btw since when do ya have a jaw like that

[hardy fable]

I always looked this majestic( someone gave me a Pic of handsome squidward stuntman)

[magic tree]

great combo in the shop

only missing vampire

[latent egret]

[magic tree]

[hardy fable]

[soft vapor]

Also I was broke

[hardy fable]

[soft vapor]

Lucky card just triggered

[hardy fable]

I have read your name as oil since morning

[neat ore]

I can't calculate because I'm a balatro player

[surreal pier]

I've legit had more legendary jokers than instances where wheel of fortune works

Is that thing even 1 in 4 chance? 😭

[tranquil steppe]

Why not? People eat cows all the time

[unreal iron]

eventually you hit more wheels than you do souls

[obsidian patrol]

but its not a food joker in balatro terms

[unreal iron]

this again

bull isnt a food joker

[surreal pier]

I didn't play much (moving out n' stuff) but I've gotten 3 legendaries and only 2 procs on wheel of fortune, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be this likely 😭

[unreal iron]

its a joker that just so happens to be something edible
