[fringe crest]

balatro is addictive

[lilac meteor]

What was in your joker slots?

[fringe crest]

wait

i forgot theres a thing to check wins

[lilac meteor]

You got your win, not delete the game before you lose it

before you lose your life

[fringe crest]

this number feels low

[tranquil steppe]

I think that’s how long it took me to realize you could rearrange the order of cards you play and that you could rearrange jokers

[ornate whale]

i watched some vids on roffle and the best balatro player ever and that helped me a lot

[fringe crest]

the doc is the best

[lilac meteor]

SAME LOL

[low fog]

i'm sorry showman but i need that flush five build

flush five photochad build*

[fringe crest]

my favorite person to watch for learning is bean because he will actually respond on twitch

[low fog]

my last win was two days ago

[ornate whale]

these were my slots after i continued in endless mode

[tranquil steppe]

Photochad is calling you

[tranquil steppe]

Nanners!!!!!

[lilac meteor]

Ooh wow

Cavendish on your first win is uh

amazing

[fringe crest]

i did completionist on my own without looking up

[lilac meteor]

back then i worshipped shortcut bro

[fringe crest]

it took me so long to find out about cavendish, glass joker, and marble joker

[lilac meteor]

i kept on trying to get straighta

[ornate whale]

ik i was super lucky honestly i wouldnt have won without baron

[fringe crest]

i had an addiction to flush

[lilac meteor]

I thought baron was awful back then 😭

[fringe crest]

baron isnt that good

[honest dawn]

Run is quite unique being

[fringe crest]

it can be

but not really

[lilac meteor]

its a free 2.25x basically

[ornate whale]

it can be early on which i did get pretty early

[fringe crest]

you have to base your whole run on it for it to be good

like

good good

[lilac meteor]

I based my run on blueprint

[ornate whale]

yea i kept duping kings and stuff

[fringe crest]

thats not

[ornate whale]

i never find blueprint

[lilac meteor]

😔

[fringe crest]

you cant base a run on bp

[fringe crest]

guess what

[lilac meteor]

You unlock it after your first win

😭

[ornate whale]

OH

[lilac meteor]

i mean

[ornate whale]

goated

[lilac meteor]

you can now

[low fog]

GUYS PICK A ROUTE RIGHT NOW. PHOTOCHAD OR BARON

[fringe crest]

discard a royal flush for brainstorm

[lilac meteor]

sell all and buy celestial pack

[willow frost]

baro

[jagged valve]

Twins

[fringe crest]

beat a run without getting more than 4 jokers for invisable

[low fog]

🧠

[jagged valve]

I chose both

[lilac meteor]

Yeah you should unlock jokers now

[low fog]

i see

[dry remnant]

that's all u need sometimes guys, important to remember when going for C++

[fringe crest]

trio

[low fog]

so i get rid of three of a kind

[fringe crest]

no

no no

[fringe crest]

not trio

the 4

[low fog]

why not

WHY THE QUADRO

[jagged valve]

Yooo

[fringe crest]

because baron you dont want to play 4

[low fog]

ooohhh you're right

[lilac meteor]

Thats my 3rd bs that run

[jagged valve]

Also I think I should replace Splash with BS right

Or perhaps Chad

[lilac meteor]

i got naneinf way too early in my balatro lifetime

[lilac meteor]

Splash

you can base your run off of baron now

and more gold card value

[jagged valve]

Ig

[lilac meteor]

imo

[ornate whale]

is it just me or is black deck not that hard because i got pretty far before my first win

[lilac meteor]

ask skera

im bad at the game

[fringe crest]

brb

[lilac meteor]

it's bad at higher stakes, since it's -1 hand

[fringe crest]

nvm not brb

[jagged valve]

I already won so that's one step further towards C+

[fringe crest]

uhh

[jagged valve]

I'm doing all remaining blue stakes

[fringe crest]

yeah im hard stuck on blue stake black deck

[lilac meteor]

ill beat it rn for you

[fringe crest]

dont do that

do one deck at a time

[ornate whale]

i watched the 4min speedrun also to know how to play it better

[lilac meteor]

Nvm

[potent adder]

Finally a good paintbrush run

[lilac meteor]

Watching people play always makes you better

[fringe crest]

i got my goldstake plasma win with two idols bp bs

[lilac meteor]

focus on unlocking all your jokers for now

[fringe crest]

i unlocked decks first then jokers

but

[potent adder]

Congrats man

[lilac meteor]

bro keeps on flushing the toilets

[fringe crest]

unlock the importanr jokers first

[lilac meteor]

yeah

[fringe crest]

aj is an easy win joker

[lilac meteor]

i haven't ublocked the upgrade to the playing card in shop voucher yet

lol

[lilac meteor]

Whats aj

[fringe crest]

ancient joker

[lilac meteor]

oh yeah

really nice

[fringe crest]

1.5x mult for this suit changes at end of round

[ornate whale]

i think im almost got if not all the easy jokers

[lilac meteor]

Try getting braindtorm

[fringe crest]

theres easy ones that are just tedious

[lilac meteor]

that makes it hard no

[fringe crest]

no

[lilac meteor]

okay

🙏

[fringe crest]

it just takes time

like

brainstorm

[lilac meteor]

yeah it makes it hard

[ornate whale]

i got brainstorm once like when i first started playing the game

[lilac meteor]

cause you just wanna play

[fringe crest]

lilo is better than me ask them for help

[lilac meteor]

😭

[cloud sinew]

hi whats up

[lilac meteor]

ho

hi

[low fog]

I had to sell trio and then i used a judgement and got dice

then i remembered i got a bajillion lucky cards

i'm not so cooked

[fringe crest]

hi hi ive been helping out for the past half hour swap with me

[lilac meteor]

Uh uh

[cloud sinew]

yokie

[lilac meteor]

okay time to boot up orange red deck

watch me get to ante 4, then die, then get back to ante 5, then die

[fringe crest]

also lilo tips for black deck blue stake? i finished plasma and i want to knock out hard ones first to make the rest easy but im hardstuck on blue stake black

do i just use the secret art of spam reset for aj run?

[cloud sinew]

no uhhh

[fringe crest]

i genuinly cant win any runs

[cloud sinew]

don't go for a bunch of resets, but if you just want to knock runs out then

go for ante 1 big blind investment/coupon skip

[fringe crest]

im weakest in early game

[jagged valve]

Ok what now ..

This might be peak

[fringe crest]

so i dont like to skip

but i can

[cloud sinew]

thats why coupon/investment is ideal, and also why you want to skip on the big blind rather than the small blind

[fringe crest]

yeah

[jagged valve]

Ok nvm yeah totally chad going now

[cloud sinew]

you want to get some sort of scoring from the first shop after the small blind

[fringe crest]

kk

[cloud sinew]

charm tag isnt a bad skip either, at least on black deck a1

you can skip for that on either the small or big blind if it turns up

[fringe crest]

so just reset until i get good tags?

[cloud sinew]

without going into a lot more detail than that / without helping you per run, yes

[fringe crest]

im good at mid game

sometimes i die in late antes but thats mainly luck factor

ive been staying away from forcing face card builds unless i get reroll voucher

its hard to prepare for every bb

[lilac meteor]

can I ask something

[cloud sinew]

it's less of a luck factor the closer to ante 8 you get imo, early game is when you're most vulnerable to really bad RNG because you're not deckfixed, have no econ, no jokers, no additional scoring, etc

[fringe crest]

so like preferable best start would be round 1 riffraff round two skip invest tag beat boss then get grabber voucher asap?

[lilac meteor]

is it better to buy the first buffoon pack, buy a guaranteed joker, or just skip the first shop?

[cloud sinew]

depends on the joker

but generally it's best to buy the first buffoon pack unless youre on plasma

[lilac meteor]

ah

okay

[cloud sinew]

round 1 riff raff i probably wouldnt take the investment tag tbh

[fringe crest]

uhh alr

do i reset for invest tho

[cloud sinew]

the best start would definitely be riff raff on black deck though

[fringe crest]

yeah thats what i thought

[jagged valve]

Should I use DNA before or after discarding

[fringe crest]

after i believe for scoring

[cloud sinew]

u could try doing some normal runs and i tell you what I would do, that way you might get a feel for what works outside of the best case

[fringe crest]

i dont do guided runs i only take advice

doesnt feel like im even playing if its guided

but thanks

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of hiker

[cloud sinew]

not that good

[plucky shuttle]

After usually

Especially for baron+mime runs

[jagged valve]

I forgot the boss was the needle

🥹

Ehh anyways this run didn't have THAT much potential

It was pretty late

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of midas mask?

[mortal summit]

Op

Trust

[jagged valve]

How good is 5 ETERNAL RENTAL copies of midas mask

[neat ore]

Pretty good

[fringe crest]

wait till you hear about my double eternal rental gluttoneous joker run

[neat ore]

Tell me about it

[jagged valve]

How good is MidasTicketVampareid

Horrible

[fringe crest]

i died ante 3

[neat ore]

I did recently 5 copies of sly joker

[fringe crest]

ive been tryna get a win with 5 lusty jokers but havent gotten to it

[fringe crest]

i did clever

[opal delta]

if you laugh you go to photochad hell

[honest dawn]

Straight flush!

[neat ore]

Hos good is 5 copies of uh I actually dunno at this point

Flash card I guess

Idk

[fringe crest]

its hard to win

you need a lot of planet scaling

[opal delta]

this was a fun run too

[neat ore]

Is that a jimball

[opal delta]

yes

[neat ore]

You are a jimball

[lilac meteor]

Wait til you hear my double perishable rental invisible joker run
(I forgot it was perishable)

[solid garden]

e114 PB (thanks serpent the goat 🙏)

[mystic drift]

should i buy that photograph joker

[shell dagger]

yes

[red thistle]

Why do people always crop out the ante/round and money number.

That's like the most important info.

[mystic drift]

idk 😭

[shell dagger]

we also need to know your flush level

assuming that’s what you’re playing

[shell dagger]

and how many you’ve played

[mystic drift]

its still early

lvl 2 on my flush

[red thistle]

Oof.

[shell dagger]

probably still get rid of supernova

also open the spectral first

in case you get ankh

[paper echo]

uhm..... okay more money i guess

its just extra sell value

cause thats all you do with double tag

or whatever its called. the card

i lowk lost all my balatro knowledge since i last played

oh how i love you double tag. i now have fifty dollars

[soft vapor]

Well

I had a baron mime run

And of course of course

It was fun while it lasted

[low sorrel]

It sucks thet balatro didnt win game of the year this year

[white zodiac]

what did you expect

[red thistle]

Who cares man, the only good games are the ones you yourself say are.

Not sure if that was grammatically correct.

[lost vault]

balata

[lost vault]

it… wasnt made this year

it was nominated last year

[paper echo]

oh, how i love you green deck!

[lost vault]

[paper echo]

[humble gulch]

Well

[neat ore]

[paper echo]

oh hi dolly dimpley

[pallid ferry]

[neat ore]

Hos could you

[honest dawn]

Straight flush or flush house

[unreal iron]

[honest dawn]

A question of what you prefer is simply, I know it depends on the case

[unreal iron]

flush house

[honest dawn]

Good

[red thistle]

Literally 2025.

[glad sequoia]

Lol not sure I'll make it much longer

[pallid ferry]

spaceman hit an insane amount of times here i’m glad i picked him up early

[dull ether]

It's hard not to get a straight flush

[opal delta]

2026 in a few days

[opal delta]

[red thistle]

Balatro update! Just a few months away!

[neat ore]

Should I forgive you?

[glad sequoia]

Rip

[opal delta]

[neat ore]

Ball

Jim

[paper echo]

it worked

[atomic trout]

It's funny because I like using acrobat, dusk, and card sharp in order to defeat this wonderful boss 💀

Why is it so evil?

[tame sluice]

card sharp deadass useless against ts tho

[atomic trout]

Not when you have Burglar 🤣

[paper echo]

shoutout blue joker for being awesome and giving me chips

[tame sluice]

Amazing

[atomic trout]

The more cards the better

[paper echo]

i got +2 cards each round due to my two stone jokers

[tame sluice]

When are flush five of stones coming out

[atomic trout]

Blue Joker would have a heart attack

[paper echo]

if i can find hologram this run could go fucking far

nevermind

[tame sluice]

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

The lamest boss too

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[lost vault]

i LOVE bloodstoje

[neat ore]

Trib better

[atomic trout]

I just realized that Ante 5 💜 Purple Boss Blind is the same amount of chips as Ante 8 🤍 White Stakes Final Boss

50,000 Chips

[flint walrus]

😭my friend just bought balatro, ankh'd stencil then ecto'd

[icy fable]

Asstone

[atomic trout]

Is that two Stencil Jokers?

[lost vault]

yes

domer domer domer domer

[flint walrus]

yep

[atomic trout]

The Wheel boss blind and the Wheel of Fortune are the same 🤣

They're brothers

The Window debuffs Diamonds like a jewelry store with a glass panel.

The Water. You go with the flow. No Discards.

[soft vapor]

Pirple homer simpleton

[paper echo]

uhm.

okay

[soft vapor]

The eye was play only 1 hand type right?

Or it was mouth

[celest spade]

The needle

[paper echo]

mouth

[soft vapor]

Hand type

[celest spade]

the eye is no repeat hand types, mouth is play one hand type

[paper echo]

needle is one hand

[soft vapor]

Oh

[celest spade]

oh i’m blind whoops

[atomic trout]

The Eye is no repeat

[paper echo]

big small or boss blind

[atomic trout]

The Mouth likes one type of hand

[celest spade]

well certainly not the eye boss blind

[soft vapor]

Well the mouth got it's name because I want to put a gun in it when I don't pay attention to the description

[atomic trout]

The Violet Vessel, it's a big cup

The Wall, it's a higher scale than normal

[atomic trout]

The Noodle is one hand only

[celest spade]

the noodle 🥺

[soft vapor]

Because needle is thin

[rancid glade]

is there an ante 1 unseeded wr

[soft vapor]

One wrong move and it's done

[atomic trout]

We need funny names for the bosses

The wheel is broken. The needle has been threaded. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall

A funny idea LocalThunk should do is what Jimbo says after you lose a Blind

Depending on which boss you lose to*

[dry remnant]

true beauty

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[half plinth]

i understand you

[lilac meteor]

Wrong server

[half plinth]

its not optimal

[lilac meteor]

🙏

[celest spade]

i forget does dagger work on eternal?

[heavy solstice]

No

[celest spade]

damn.

[heavy solstice]

I mean it's an order of operations thing

Which one comes first

And eternal comes first

[half plinth]

what are yall favorite stakes?

yes i know black is the best

[atomic trout]

⚪ Stakes

[heavy solstice]

my favorite is red

[celest spade]

mmm if only you could scale dagger infinitely

[heavy solstice]

Just barely above white stake and a decent learning curve

[celest spade]

with one eternal

[heavy solstice]

For what's to come

[heavy solstice]

Would be too convenient

[atomic trout]

Anything below Blue Stakes

I like to Discard

[heavy solstice]

Blue stake black deck

Misery just keeps going

[half plinth]

holy shit i never played a game in 1920 X 1080, this is luxury!

[heavy solstice]

weakest deck in the game made even weaker by difficulty that most decks nullify in some way

[heavy solstice]

4k uhd baltro when

[long oxide]

Do I take bloodstone

[half plinth]

yes

[long oxide]

I want to keep paradolia so I can ramp up canio

[heavy solstice]

Super secret balatro update leaks

[half plinth]

holy shi-

balatro lootbox and battle pass

[atomic trout]

You make me sad. 🤣

[half plinth]

only 5,278 chips tho?

buddy's broke

[atomic trout]

I'd drop the game if that happens

[heavy solstice]

There's an energy system that reaches a cap of 300 chips every day and you spend 150 to play a single game

Premium chips bypass that and each cost 49.99$

[atomic trout]

New deck designs for $50 bucks? I'm out.

[half plinth]

i likes balatro

[heavy solstice]

Winning a run adds to your chip count based on highest score - 80%

[heavy solstice]

we will get metal gear solid collab soon

[half plinth]

i feel my shoulder pulsing wtf

i just lost the banan and got cave

[atomic trout]

There's already an Assassin's Creed

[solid garden]

e173 PB

[soft vapor]

FUUUUUCKKKK

I INVESTED ALL MY $ INTO IT

[atomic trout]

Metal Gear isn't far behind

[solid garden]

to the moon? more like to the core of earth

[heavy solstice]

Well you got it

[coarse silo]

This joker design is actually kind of tough

[soft vapor]

Yeah I made it for an upcoming mod

[atomic trout]

Screw it, to the moon then!

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[wide lily]

Replace settings with marketplace and then maybe it could work

[heavy solstice]

If i didn't have a better scaling xmulti i'll take it

Common jokers are common w's

[soft vapor]

Outdated they changed it back

[heavy solstice]

The public backlash was effective?

Anyways such a thing should not happen in the first place

[soft vapor]

Yeah

Somehow

[heavy solstice]

It is like some people said very predatory way to get you to buy stuff based on a muscle memory habit

In the main menu, settings is still in the middle

And long long before that update settings was also in the middle

They just couldn't be cheaper

[cloud sinew]

no pop-ups, wouldnt work

[dreamy creek]

yo wth i just scored 6 face cards across 3 hands and none of them triggered by business card

rigged

[mortal nimbus]

Wait until you have the first 12 face cards not give any money

[dreamy creek]

rigged

[lilac meteor]

It's better than having your business card trigger, but be 1 trigger short from the interest

[dreamy creek]

what

[pale wolf]

money is money

[dreamy creek]

no money is worse than less money

[lilac meteor]

the mental torture ive went through

okay im overexaggerating it atp

[dreamy creek]

in this situation I can play a straight or a flush and both will have 2 face cards that give money, but if it's funny to play 3 face cards

[lilac meteor]

im sowwy

[dreamy creek]

just for the funzies

[mortal nimbus]

for the record I do still have the seed for this if you want to see it

[cloud sinew]

only slightly worse odds than what you need to get ante -1

1/3840 for a seed to be able to get to ante -1, 1/4096 for 12 misses of 1/2 in a row

[mortal nimbus]

[dreamy creek]

i would like to publiclly announce that i got gross michele to die in one round

[summer jay]

idolCult

[dreamy creek]

shoutout to my boy idol

[summer jay]

Thug life

[heavy solstice]

Weakest strong joker in the game

I hate the amount of deckfixing needed to make it half consistent

[dreamy creek]

just use 10 immolates

gg ez

no more deck

[heavy solstice]

If we could get more than one wildcard from lovers tarot

So much can happen

They won't even be good enough to make the game too easy

[compact halo]

Hey guys I’m new. Is this good run for only ante 4 already ?

[summer jay]

Yes

[heavy solstice]

Did you encounter the plant yet

[compact halo]

Have directors cut

[summer jay]

Assuming you're getting a consistent hand

[heavy solstice]

Perfect

[compact halo]

Plant can slurp em

[heavy solstice]

You're set

This smoothly goes far past ante 8

Probably reliable enough for ante 12

[dreamy creek]

so we may have conducted biblical amounts of greed

[low sorrel]

Im just a little disappointed that balatro didnt get the recognition it deserves

[compact halo]

Yes I know. I thought the gold stickers would show that the “I’m new” was joking

[cloud sinew]

it didnt come out this year

[heady narwhal]

it was released in 2024

[cloud sinew]

also it won like 3 awards last year

[compact halo]

Yeah balatros not new

[low sorrel]

I think theyre called bananas

[lost vault]

[nova junco]

I unironically think Kirby air riders is much better than Mario kart world

marioslop smh

[heady narwhal]

i have been enjoying it more personally

[lost vault]

no i mean the new donkey kong game is called bananza

[heady narwhal]

it's an entirely different thing though

[white zodiac]

[slender creek]

actually RPGs are Russian

[cloud sinew]

fuck Elden Ring Nightreign, shit should not have been in there. ITS A DLC

[red thistle]

Unrelated: Genuinely couldn't understand what strawman means even after googling it.

[nova junco]

Hollow knight is kind of similar to both... Maybe we should call the genre a new name, maybe castletroid?

[lost vault]

EXACTLY

[cloud sinew]

that sounds like a slur

[lost vault]

plus elden ring already won before

[nova junco]

Hmmm

We could try switching the names around

[cloud sinew]

purposefully misconstruing / simplifying your opponents argument so that it is easier to dismantle

[nova junco]

Metrodvania sounds better

[lost vault]

vaniametroid

[summer jay]

Basically every PETA supporter
"Oh so you love eating meat? You must love slaughtering animals then."

[cloud sinew]

I mean

[pale wolf]

i do

[summer jay]

[red thistle]

I drowned several ant colonys when i was a child so i guess so.

[cloud sinew]

that's not that big of a strawman to be honest

[lost vault]

it would be like me saying i hate jk rowling and then someone responds saying why do you hate women

[nova junco]

🥤 🧍‍♂️

[pale wolf]

if you can't beat the source of your food until they're not alive anymore then you shouldn't be eating meat

[cloud sinew]

balatro is vegan 😎

wokeatro

[nova junco]

That's ableist

[pale wolf]

likewise, if you can't mine all of the resources used to make up your vehicle, you shouldn't drive a car

[lost vault]

i love wokelatro

[red thistle]

There are humane ways when killing animals for meat though.

[white zodiac]

there goes my fish and chips joker

#🃏・off-topic

[pale wolf]

substitute egg

[nova junco]

When is this chat ever on topic

[white zodiac]

when it’s inactive

[summer jay]

You get what I mean though, putting words in one's mouth because of their stance on a topic (it's the best way I can word it)

[hallow zenith]

Chat question

[heady narwhal]

extremely pedantic but i've personally been saying "run-based game" recently

[hallow zenith]

What's the funnest legendary joker

[white zodiac]

speaking of balatro

[summer jay]

Perkeo

[pale wolf]

so like qwop

[white zodiac]

new obylinks record

[nova junco]

Chicot

[summer jay]

The most badass legendary is chicot

[red thistle]

Why the heck is it zoomed out. 😭

[summer jay]

Historically

[nova junco]

Chigoat

[hallow zenith]

Perkeo? How come

[hallow zenith]

I mean, valid

[summer jay]

Just look at them

[hallow zenith]

I don't mean potential naneinf runs

[pale wolf]

did you do any tech

[heady narwhal]

i think perkeo is kind of boring in ante 8

[summer jay]

You can tell they're hilarious just by seeing them tweak in their sprite

[pale wolf]

both boring and underwhelming

[white zodiac]

uh
i skipped a round for 50 bucks

[hallow zenith]

Valid

[white zodiac]

i could’ve played 2 pairs into the eye

[hallow zenith]

I mean I love trib

I think it's the funnest and best legendary joker

Imo

[heady narwhal]

here's golden joker. here's burnt joker. here's slightly better loyalty card

[deft panther]

Should I take this burnt joker and pivot away from straights? My straights are level 4

[white zodiac]

here’s shiny carpomancer

[heady narwhal]

ante 3 probably yeah

[cloud sinew]

astute observation! It is ante 3!

[heady narwhal]

i don't think green deck likes straights but i don't think it likes pairs either

[hallow zenith]

Cartomancer is severely underrated

[white zodiac]

it could’ve been at like x13 or something if i wasn’t such a weiner

[deft panther]

I could go high card maybe

[cloud sinew]

go pairs over high card

[white zodiac]

wdym, it’s perfectly expected value for what you get

[heady narwhal]

cartomancer is pretty nice early

i think hallucination is funnier and more common and maybe better though

[deft panther]

I'll sell Egg for burnt joker

[white zodiac]

consumable timing can be inconvenient mid/late game

[cloud sinew]

i would sell agate or banner tbh

probably agate

[deft panther]

Too late

[cloud sinew]

you dont need the $ from egg right away because youre on green

no interest to worry about

[lost vault]

bwah

[heady narwhal]

are any econ jokers significantly better/worse on green deck?

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

yes

[heady narwhal]

which ones

[cloud sinew]

to the moon

[heady narwhal]

lmao

[cloud sinew]

delgrat rewards you for something you should be doing on green deck anyway

so it gets better in that respect

[opal delta]

mvp award of this gold stake run goes to spaceman

[heady narwhal]

is vagabond better? maybe you get $2 of discards instead of $0 of interest but you don't get the remaining hands bonus

[deft panther]

Wheel hit my abstract also should I take any of these

[heady narwhal]

#000000

[nova junco]

You ideally shouldn't have any remaining hands if you have vagabond

[heady narwhal]

that's what i mean yes

[pale wolf]

yeah before my enlightening

[white zodiac]

make the skewer appear in the shop once it’s been consumed

[nova junco]

I dont think vagabond is any better on green tbh

[pale wolf]

That would be a sick popsicle Joker

[nova junco]

Cavendish 2??????

[white zodiac]

but it doesn’t do anything in return

[deft panther]

Green doesn't like to throw away too many hands to get full hand payouts

[pale wolf]

That would be interesting, a food Joker that you have to sell before it kills itself or else you get a detrimental shop Joker

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[deft panther]

What prevents them from just buying and then selling it though?

[white zodiac]

prior to that run I've been stalked

[pale wolf]

why would you do that

[deft panther]

What does the food joker itself do?

Sorry I'm coming into the conversation here

[white zodiac]

gives you food

[pale wolf]

idk something beneficial

[deft panther]

Like it gives you another food joker like ice cream or popcorn or gros Michel?

[pale wolf]

no, its own effect

maybe an extra hand or something

[white zodiac]

how thematic

flavorful*

[deft panther]

Ah so it has a benefit that makes it worth keeping but if it expires a bad joker can then appear in the shop and just waste shop spaces?

[pale wolf]

weiner zo big youll need another hand!

kind of defeats the stick idea though

[deft panther]

Y'all think I should take any of these?

[pale wolf]

I don't think so

[white zodiac]

familiar or skip

[deft panther]

I think the silly haha idea is to sell all my jokers except burnt joker and then ankh it and maybe have enough money to buy a joker from the shop long enough for my burnt joker levels to make my chosen hand pop off

But I'll probably take familiar

[final escarp]

is this good

seems pretty bad ykyk

[white zodiac]

ugh one more game

[fiery nymph]

squid game reference

[white zodiac]

i don’t like how all of my cool personal records are done on black deck of all things

it should’ve been abandoned

[opal delta]

hi

[white zodiac]

[lost vault]

one more game! one more game!

[heady narwhal]

even steven to try to make madness work? or just reroll

i'm thinking just reroll

[white zodiac]

only if you’re in current danger

[heady narwhal]

seems like i won't be using madness but at least i got $3 of temperance value out of it!!!

[white zodiac]

o

[quick merlin]

[cloud sinew]

maybe like

Milk

[white zodiac]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

turns sour if you don't use it quick enough

[potent tree]

i hate the flint

all roads lead to photochad...

[outer rover]

GG chat

[silent lark]

im doing NAN if anyone wants to help me. im close to guerenteed fictory but i font want to mess it up and my scoring is slightly off

[opal delta]

keep the ectoplasm or sell it?

[silent lark]

keep

always keep

[outer rover]

You aren’t even in a situation where you would need to sell it

[hybrid tendon]

GOT MY FIRST NEGATIVE CREDIT CARD ROUND 1

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad

[pale wolf]

b

[serene forge]

see its even rental to encourage going into debt

[pale wolf]

oh that's a new hidden rental sticker I've never heard of

[patent sail]

Well, that was a good run i guess

Got the constellation to 16.7x thanks to ante 1 astronomer

[uncut matrix]

i just had a good baron mime run and lost it to a suit boss :(

someone burn me

[patent sail]

The most painful possible way to lose it 😭 not even to a plant

[hybrid tendon]

oh wow, what a run, baseball card saved this shit fr @lunar zealot

[serene forge]

ultra debt run

[wanton oracle]

Most vanilla balatro mod

[queen kindle]

huh interesting

madness ate burglar but i still got the hands

[latent egret]

madness happens after all generations

like riff raff

or even dagger for the matter

[queen kindle]

yea but the animation for giving the hands happened after madness i noticed

[latent egret]

its the last of the “when blind selected” actions

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opal delta]

gg

[serene forge]

chat dead asf

[steel chasm]

Ace 5 of a kind goes hard

[severe terrace]

Do I drop anything for the photograph? I have only glass kings with red seals

[lilac meteor]

you dont need photo i guess, unless if you wanna drop baron

[paper echo]

balatros

[severe terrace]

Is photo better than baron in this situation? My hand size is 9 so thats like 1.5x8

[lilac meteor]

eeexactly

[paper echo]

its actually insane how quick you can unlock stuff in this game i went on a new save and it hasnt even been 6 hours and i have 100 jokers

[lilac meteor]

i dont think so, since baron would be better than photo

[paper echo]

new save cuz i reinstalled the game btw

[lilac meteor]

i dont even think you're supposed to think about photo gang 😭

[severe terrace]

Lol ok

[forest sky]

With obelisk, if I have things that have an equal amount, will that make mee auto lose it?

[severe terrace]

What am I even looking for other than dna ive never had a game this good

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[amber ingot]

@prime wolf

[serene forge]

i want to know why are you using baron and idol at the same time

[hybrid tendon]

1.5^8 not x8

[twin lantern]

What’s the best joker outright

[hybrid tendon]

rebate

[twin lantern]

What does that do

[white zodiac]

snail mail

[hybrid tendon]

+5$ when you discard as card of a specific rank

[twin lantern]

Now what’s THAT do

[twin lantern]

Oh that is pretty cool

[white zodiac]

rebate with a different name

[tall sky]

life is good

[midnight tartan]

matador

[worthy yarrow]

... nope

[serene forge]

dagger because it murders bloodstone

[tall sky]

my hand is full of gold, my cat is fat as fuck

[twin lantern]

What’s the cat do

[worthy yarrow]

every time a lucky card goes off it gets 0.25 multiplier added to it.
mine was at 20.25 i think

[tall sky]

Gains 0.25X mult for every successful lucky card hit

getting a lot of lucky card hits just lets you get this

one chonky boi

[severe terrace]

Do I copy sock and buskin or the idol here

I usually copy sock but I don’t acc know which is better

[atomic trout]

Sock

[terse vale]

guten tag

[terse vale]

oh

[uncut matrix]

can someone remind me if 2 sixth sense creates 2 spectral cards?

[wheat haven]

I dont think so, I think the first sixth sense destroys the 6 and then the 2nd one has no 6 to destroy

[uncut matrix]

boo

[uncut matrix]

you were wrong

i took the gamble and it paid off

[wheat haven]

Damn I didnt think it worked, thanks for not believing me! 😄

[uncut matrix]

lmaoo

[shell dagger]

Are you using mods

[uncut matrix]

some qol ones yea

would they affect this?

[shell dagger]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[uncut matrix]

im only using these

[shell dagger]

Steammodded is known to mess random small things up

[wheat haven]

I was right 🥹

[uncut matrix]

yes im sorry for doubting you brain

[wheat haven]

Its okay im usually wrong

[shell dagger]

Pretty nice vampire run for not having midas mask, 5.8x

And for keeping money for boots

Ante 1 eternal rental square paying off

[wheat haven]

im having one of those runs where im constantly struggling for score

Acrobat is keeping me alive which is scary

[carmine olive]

Latro

[late pulsar]

Single greatest run I have ever had

[sacred trench]

Here is my Gold stake win on Anaglyph Deck, I have one last deck to bet before getting C plus

Flush for the win

[late pulsar]

Trib, blue print, brainstorm, chad, smiley, negative rebate

[late pulsar]

Flush my goat

[sacred trench]

Flushes make Gold Stake easy

[late pulsar]

Noted

[sacred trench]

And I got gross Micheal to the Gold Stake sticker

[late pulsar]

Holy luck

[tranquil steppe]

May the odds be ever in your favor

[sacred trench]

And I did get popcorn too

[sacred trench]

Man, I got the Ancient Joker out of a judgment after seeing a ancient Joker that was timed

[tranquil steppe]

That’s awesome. I love ancient. He’s a cheat code

[sacred trench]

It was very lucky XD

[tranquil steppe]

And ancient + chad = chefs kiss

[sacred trench]

Yeah but at the time I had 17 hearts when I got him so I had some Immediate deck fixing to do but most of the time it hit hearts and clubs, never hit diamonds and only hit spades twice

[late pulsar]

Ancient is so underrated

[wheat haven]

Yesterday I bought gros micheal on the last round for a sticker and it went extinct after the boss

[late pulsar]

That guy clocked out

[tranquil steppe]

Nice! And wilds can help get around that too

[sacred trench]

Then I got a polychrome off of an aura with the wild card to put on it

[tranquil steppe]

Lmao I had that happen to me too. Trolls

[sacred trench]

I had an amazing gold stake run XD that didn't turn into PhotoChad

[sacred trench]

Mine survived 😄

[void topaz]

how do you even do photochad on gold stake

[sacred trench]

Flushes

[wheat haven]

Mine was like heres your +15 mult see ya later

[void topaz]

oh dawg wtf

[sacred trench]

Mine wanted to stay

[cosmic sun]

you read the boss blinds

[void topaz]

that may as well be a slur in balatro discord game discussion channel

[sacred trench]

Wanted to be a golden sticker Joker because Cavendish already got it

[cosmic sun]

that being said

[opal delta]

[cosmic sun]

mercury, packs and reroll

[dreamy creek]

balalala

[cosmic sun]

roffle is never escaping any allegations

[void topaz]

blueprint brainstorm in the top 10

how does this happen

[sacred trench]

Sure is, I find them alot

[dreamy creek]

-> looks inside

[cosmic sun]

roffle lite and its consequences for balatro player brains

[dreamy creek]

-> photochad

[sacred trench]

I am on my last deck to become Gold Stake

[void topaz]

THESE ARE MY JOKERS?

HOW

[sacred trench]

Sure is

[void topaz]

WHAT

SINCE WHEN

[sacred trench]

Baseball card?

[void topaz]

the good xmults are uncommon

[sacred trench]

Actually, Baron is rare

XD

[void topaz]

um

sorry yes

[dry jasper]

accidentally stumbled on a ripoff when i was looking for games on the playsore lmaoooo

[void topaz]

scaling xmult

and blackboard

[white zodiac]

sure you do

[sacred trench]

I have found almost 700 of both

[white zodiac]

no, youve held them for that many rounds long

[void topaz]

its always a high card seed

[white zodiac]

sigh

[wheat haven]

I dont know how you dont get blueprint in top 10 tbh

[void topaz]

i mean yeah you never sell it and always pick it up

[sacred trench]

Why would you not pick up blueprint or brainstorm when you have the chance

[white zodiac]

deliberately not taking it because of not needing it to win runs consistently

[sacred trench]

They have saved me many runs

Granted I have lost more runs than won

[white zodiac]

I can't say the same :P

[eternal pumice]

[sacred trench]

I got the gold sticker on you today!

[wheat haven]

Why u go extinct in 1 round?>????

[eternal pumice]

Mb:(

[sacred trench]

Why did you eat the banana on round one?

[wheat haven]

me hungy

[sacred trench]

Couldn't save it until after ante 8

[paper echo]

listening to femtanyl while playing balatro in celebration of femtanyl album confirmation

[sacred trench]

Alright y'all advice for Nebula Deck

Do y'all have any

[wheat haven]

do good 👍

[opal delta]

this might be useful

[paper echo]

isnt that zodiac deck

also hi jimball from cryptid

[opal delta]

yes

[opal delta]

hi :)

[sacred trench]

Alright Brain, thank you for thinking

[paper echo]

what does neb deck do again

[sacred trench]

-1. Consumable slot but you have the telescope voucher

[paper echo]

try to go all in on one specific hand i think. i dont have neb deck right now as i had to reinstall the game so all my progress is gone but since it gives telescope id assume thats probably a good way to go

telescope is the one that gives u the card of ur most played hand rite

[sacred trench]

Alrighty, I will go with the best hand in the game, Flushes

[opal delta]

it disabled my luchador

[paper echo]

i preferfull house

and two pair

spare trousers my 2nd favorite card

[paper echo]

damn

[odd current]

Game wants me to photochad

[digital pewter]

grahh

good run

[sacred trench]

What do y'all think of my start

[void topaz]

are shoot the moon builds gateway drugs into baron mime

[digital pewter]

yeah

that's what mine was

[void topaz]

i littearly just did that too

[digital pewter]

anyways that's green deck purple stake done

[digital pewter]

lmao

[void topaz]

white stake lures baron mime in like a predator catching its prey bro

[digital pewter]

i found bean like twice

[sullen needle]

i gather it would be super tedious, but i wonder if there is a “low% completionist+” run of balatro

like, you’d get gold stake on all decks and unlock the least amount of things you can

[sacred trench]

Where do I go from here

Do I give up hanging Chad for blue print

@wheat haven

[languid pecan]

probably

[wheat haven]

Well its better to sell the chad for bp than skip it

[languid pecan]

drop scholar for fib

[sacred trench]

Man, this is my first time playing nebula in 6 months and I get this run

Still could fall but

[sacred trench]

Alrighty

Someone said earlier they wonder how I could have blueprint and brainstorm in my top 10

Update, I got a PhotoChad run going

[wheat haven]

Judgement paying off 🔥

[tranquil steppe]

4.5 boost nice

[wheat haven]

Okay I just had a brainstorm copying reserved parking, played with 5 face cards in hard and got 0 triggers

[fringe crest]

every one of my wins is so free

i might be a fraud

[hasty harness]

6 7

6 7

67

6 7

6 7

[fringe crest]

i calculated it to be 67🔥

[sacred trench]

Is it bait

I'm in big trouble if I don't get exactly trib

[burnt burrow]

Get trib then

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 7

[sacred trench]

This is how this run dies

[hybrid tendon]

why are you watching roffle in the background

what tiktok does to a generation 🥀

[fringe crest]

got it in 5

[fringe crest]

watching good players while playing makes you think more

which makes you better

[fringe crest]

w run

just got a win on black deck blue stake that was similar

i dont play endless tho

[sacred trench]

Sure was, PhotoChad for the win with flushes

And blueprint brainstorm

I got the brainstorm from a wrath

[fringe crest]

i had photo burbler 2 chads and bp bs

so pretty generic

[serene forge]

that's not how it works at all

you're not absorbing shit lmao

[fringe crest]

it helped me when i was learning

and now im decent

so

[serene forge]

no they're playing and watching the video at the same time

on the same screen

[fringe crest]

yeah

ik

dawg

some people just have different minds

[hybrid tendon]

🦮

[fringe crest]

be tolerant

[serene forge]

"bill gates dropped out of school so why shouldn't i"

[shell dagger]

should i do it

[fringe crest]

100%

[shell dagger]

grimbo is a free win but mega spectral is fun

[hybrid tendon]

the so-called tolerant left when you watch a roffle video in the background

[fringe crest]

dawg its not the end of the world to watch videos while playing a game

[serene forge]

immolate in spectral pack

[fringe crest]

wraith immolate

[serene forge]

youre the one propping this up as an effective thing to do lol

[fringe crest]

want a medal

lit everyone agrees that watching good players makes you better

[pale wolf]

ok uh

time to play?

[fringe crest]

no i dont like balatro anymore

i hate balatro

i hate black deck

[pale wolf]

im playing a blue deck game

[fringe crest]

i love blue deck

[pale wolf]

bc blue deck is le best

[fringe crest]

my top 3 is yellow blue then ghost

for high stakes

[gusty orbit]

would bluebrint be better on red card or constellation

[fringe crest]

for low stakes i gotta go plasma ghost blue

[fringe crest]

im pretty sure const
