[white zodiac]

or just go with the naneinf lobotomy ft. snake burger tech and baron mime

on plasma

[potent tree]

my best hand is e14 because i haven't played a seeded run

[smoky bobcat]

start trying for naneinf - either the burglar mime combo that mortem is doing rn, flush 5 idol builds, or just going as far into endgame as possible will do it eventually

[nova mantle]

No wonder why you can't beat it that's hella high

It's not like every run you can score that much, it's just a matter of getting very lucky

[raw loom]

Inner peace

[jolly relic]

i thought seeded stuff didnt show in ur stats

[white zodiac]

well not naneinf but close to it. 1.9e308 or such

[white zodiac]

they do

[nova mantle]

I'd say focus on playing normally and you'll eventually get something higher

[jolly relic]

ooh

[white zodiac]

if they play normally I don't think beating their high score should be a hard priority

[potent tree]

me when rainbow bean (but rental)

[jolly relic]

what

[nova mantle]

It's very unusual for someone to have the goal of beating their best hand lol

[jolly relic]

i dont wanna do gold stake stuff or do stickers

[nova mantle]

Normally people are grinding for c++

[smoky bobcat]

pretty sure it just stops you from getting achievements/unlocks

[jolly relic]

and after that theres like nothing

[nova mantle]

Not like it's wrong it's just very interesting

[white zodiac]

and reaching the highest possible score resets your score

[nova mantle]

Why not?

[white zodiac]

and the actual achievement being

anticlimactic

[jolly relic]

i dont wanna

[smoky bobcat]

play modded then ?

[floral mural]

isnt there very very few unlocks tied to endless and high scores

[smoky bobcat]

just get something broken as fuck and use that

theres one for reaching ante 12

[jolly relic]

cant

and

i wanna beat my best hand

[grave hamlet]

Me when totem hits a 10/55

[nova mantle]

The achievement being that you lose the round where you get naneinf cause naneinf can't be compared to other numbers thus not being able to beat the scoring threshold

[nova mantle]

Stuntman is the only one I could think of

[sinful plaza]

is it possible to save my popcorn from death

[white zodiac]

petroglyph requires you to reach ante 12 and maybe some of the high score joker unlocks sometimes require endless

[smoky bobcat]

not unless you want to skip every single small and big blind until ante 8

[nova mantle]

I could only think of playing seeded runs for this, otherwise there's no strategy to consistently beat that kind of highscore

[white zodiac]

which still won't save it

[sinful plaza]

il have to do that

[floral mural]

theres the merry andy 100 tril or bill i think as the finisher for the high score ones. and petroglyph for ante 12?

[sinful plaza]

save popcorn

[floral mural]

its like a one run ordeal and you get both

[jolly relic]

seeded runs are even more boring than dying over and over 💔

[vocal rose]

endless nanlet gameplay gets real boring

[jolly relic]

what

[nova mantle]

Endless is really boring tbf

[white zodiac]

so called brain rot baron mime snake burger

[vocal rose]

you have less than 5 viable strategies for a high score

[grave hamlet]

If it gets disabled

[floral mural]

endless is a game mode where around 15 jokers are viable

and theyre all mutually exclusive to one strat which is idol or baron

[grave hamlet]

That is in fact how infinite scaling post-game rouge-likes work

[nova mantle]

I mean there's a BUILD to get that kind of scores, but not really a strat to get those cards every run yk

[vocal rose]

i’d rather lose over and over again due to mistakes i’ve made than lose a 1-2 hour run from RNG

[floral mural]

yeah but why play that lame ass thing with 2 strats where i can play the more exciting varied gold stake

[vocal rose]

out of my control

[nova mantle]

The best tip is getting a really lucky run

[jolly relic]

could this run have been naneinf

[nova mantle]

Maybe get a fortune teller to help

[jolly relic]

this is where i got e64

[white zodiac]

i mean there is, the most consistent build atm just requires voucher rng by a24

[grave hamlet]

Then do that, it's a different experience

[white zodiac]

and the spectre goes in depth of this explanation

[nova mantle]

Oh yeah forgot those

None require e scores thankfully

[vocal rose]

one experience is RNG 1-3 hour slop runs and the other is actual game play mechanics and strategy

but I won’t judge people who play endless

it’s just boring

[grave hamlet]

"I won't judge it but imma judge it"😭🙏

[cloud sinew]

the only one tied to endless is Petroglyph which is unlocked by reaching ante 12

everything else is achievable within ante 8

[vocal rose]

you’ve completely misunderstood what I said lmfao

[nova mantle]

"the spectre" son 😭 😭 😭 you ain't know BU like that 😭😭😭😭

[vocal rose]

endless is what i’m judging

not people who play it

[jolly relic]

i like big number

[balmy ridge]

greetings chat

[vocal rose]

please read more carefully next time

[balmy ridge]

i have been binding my saac HOWEVER

[jade arch]

Is this a good joker arrangement? I got red seal steels

[balmy ridge]

it's time to start getting my 2nd c++

[nova mantle]

It's not the same criticizing, say, a genre of music vs the people that listen to it

[cloud sinew]

why not go for big number before endless instead of big number for 3 hours

[white zodiac]

save me

[balmy ridge]

also balatro server has alot of overlap with binding of isaac server

#nooticing

[vocal rose]

yesss

[grave hamlet]

I'm banned in it🙏😭

[vocal rose]

third one you should do black deck++

[white zodiac]

oh

[nova mantle]

Me like big number with a e in it

[vocal rose]

egg

[raw loom]

In the words of Roffle "We go again"

[balmy ridge]

i have a black deck only profile which is already gold stickered

i was gonna work from there

[cloud sinew]

you can get that before endless as well

you can naneinf before endless

[jolly relic]

number can be bigger and do you really quit after winning?

[vocal rose]

you’ve already got c++ with black deck only?

[balmy ridge]

no

black deck only profile

where the black deck is stickered

[vocal rose]

i can’t read

[cloud sinew]

I go into a new run after I win or lose, yes

[balmy ridge]

but i haven't done much else

[vocal rose]

im a balatro player

[white zodiac]

i think they just got to the gs

[jolly relic]

do people who hate on endless play only up until they beat ante 8

[jolly relic]

oh

[balmy ridge]

understandable

[vocal rose]

yes

[white zodiac]

[jolly relic]

that is strange

[vocal rose]

it really isn’t

[cloud sinew]

why

the game doesnt encourage you to go into endless outside of a single unlock

[vocal rose]

just because you don’t do so doesn’t mean it’s strange

[nova mantle]

Those are seeded runs tho

[vocal rose]

endless is literally a bonus to the game

that isn’t necessary

[nova mantle]

But it's nice to have

[cloud sinew]

you can do it unseeded, just requires a lot more effort and RNG

[white zodiac]

pretty much
at a8, about 100% of jokers are encouraged to be used whereas naneinf/endless is reduced to 10% of jokers

and well the entire game balance

[nova mantle]

Yup, 90% of times it doesn't happen tho so people are used to them lasting more

[jade arch]

I DID IT!

[jolly relic]

90%?

[jade arch]

I FUCKING DID IT!

GOLD STICKER BANANBA!

[white zodiac]

prob 80%

[jade arch]

Last time it went extinct right at the final ante

[cloud sinew]

I don't understand what you mean by "90% of times it doesn't happen" and "used to them lasting more"

[balmy ridge]

chat

favorite decks?

idk which deck to start with

for 2nd c++

[cloud sinew]

zodiac

[balmy ridge]

ok ty ill do that

[vocal rose]

abandoned

[sinful plaza]

there should be a boss blind that just gives you a joker

[jolly relic]

99.999%

[nova mantle]

Could have been worse, if Michel breaks after beating the finisher blind you dont get the sticker either

[balmy ridge]

played too much abandoned lol im bored of it

actually should change my name

hmmm

[nova mantle]

Yellow, the 10 dollars are just very comfy

[white zodiac]

doc said 20% chance for random seeds to be able to naneinf so I'm just being the messenger

[jade arch]

Yeah, that's what happened

[balmy ridge]

sorry but YAAAAAWWWNN

[white zodiac]

magic

[nova mantle]

Oh damn 😭

[cloud sinew]

is that within ante 8 or including endless though

[balmy ridge]

im already doing zodiac

[vocal rose]

do magic

[balmy ridge]

also japanese guy did u miss me

[vocal rose]

including endless

[pale wolf]

I assume it means on first sighting, endless

[white zodiac]

this was including endless because of voucher rng

[pale wolf]

I assume almost every seed is actually capable of Infinity in some capacity

[floral mural]

so uhh which investment tag do i take hwre

both feels risky into boss blind

[pale wolf]

The second one

[smoky bobcat]

2nd

[balmy ridge]

2nd

[nova mantle]

I'm saying getting naneinf in 8 antes is HIGHLY unlikely, and almost all naneinf runs extend past those

[white zodiac]

ive not watched the video with the thumbnail saying if every seed being capable of reaching e20 score or not

[pale wolf]

Not only is the first round easier to clear, but you have more information before skipping the second one, such as if you shouldn't skip it after all

[white zodiac]

goad also isn’t a threatening boss blind

so skipping second investment isn’t necessary

[cloud sinew]

thats why i think small blind skips should be avoided on black deck unless absolutely necessary.

[pale wolf]

It's never necessary because it's always an unnecessary risk

[white zodiac]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

im meaning because of boss reroll, etc

[pale wolf]

Like you have the same amount of information more or less every time

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[smoky bobcat]

negative gift card my beloved

[floral mural]

so square joker gurrantees chips but double rental feels iffy and i wanna see if i can cruise by on pair levels

[nova mantle]

Free 50 bucks temperance holyyy

[balmy ridge]

holy poly bus

[pale wolf]

I'm buying and selling both rentals and then buying overstock here, but I like having fun

[white zodiac]

grab sell drunky before end of round and go next

[pale wolf]

You can't get a better free role for overstock

[vocal rose]

I don’t think it’s worth

[smoky bobcat]

it was already a $50 temperance but my god do i need the planet cards in my inventory to have more sell value

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon

[white zodiac]

or that

[floral mural]

TRUE

[vocal rose]

overstock is the play

[pale wolf]

polychrome bus probably doesn't even need additional scoring for another two ante

[hybrid tendon]

true !

[floral mural]

yeah as j thought ngl. if i had gargantuan econ id have done it but nah

[magic tree]

holy luck

[pale wolf]

which economy Jokers justify two rentals

[vocal rose]

please take misprint

[pale wolf]

besides rebate

[white zodiac]

midas

[nova mantle]

Parei outta hell

[twin lantern]

Yes

[white zodiac]

c9

[serene forge]

$52 cloud 9

[magic tree]

lol

[cloud sinew]

damn

[vocal rose]

midas c9

[terse vale]

[balmy ridge]

question is why did you take scary face on abandoned deck before seeing pareidolia 😭

[hybrid tendon]

nah

[white zodiac]

i feel like i’ve asked this question before lol

[magic tree]

because it was free and poly

[balmy ridge]

poly skip?

:C

[vocal rose]

oh god

[magic tree]

yeah first round

[nova mantle]

It the build is scoring into the e's I continue it, otherwise it'll always end on ante 10 or sum

[balmy ridge]

skipping is bad bad

[pale wolf]

are we reaching the balatro discussion singularity already

[floral mural]

so that thing about square uhh

[terse vale]

I mean 34 dollars seems prety fine 2 me
I’ve done stuf like this before and gotten off scot free

[serene forge]

why the hell

[floral mural]

might be keeping it

[smoky bobcat]

based

[magic tree]

idc I play for fun

[balmy ridge]

what's a singularity

[royal bobcat]

gays

[pale wolf]

A point where everything converges

[hybrid tendon]

we've been reaching hat for a while

[white zodiac]

we’ve run out of new things to say

[floral mural]

thats an obelisk setup from hell

[smoky bobcat]

thats the guy from dead by daylight

[balmy ridge]

same but i don't think losing is very fun!!!!!!!

[floral mural]

ill be good

[pale wolf]

I love Bloodstone

[hybrid tendon]

hi

[balmy ridge]

like the karmic destruction of the universe?

[serene forge]

hi

[royal bobcat]

i could talk about hiker scaling again

[magic tree]

I won't lose now 😄

[cloud sinew]

which joker is most unlike To The Moon?

[balmy ridge]

this emote spam is genuinely overwhelming

[pale wolf]

probably erosion because the moon doesn't have any erosion

[magic tree]

@serene forge why you bomb react me

[terse vale]

I don’t mean to be mean but

[nova mantle]

What it they like to brag about their nitro tho

[magic tree]

GOTHAM

[terse vale]

lowkey wtf am I saying

[white zodiac]

vagabond in game
what zebra said irl

[pale wolf]

I really don't like his videos

[pale wolf]

lol

[royal bobcat]

uhhhhhhhh rocket because it just goes to mars and not to the moon

[magic tree]

do you even play chess

[royal bobcat]

i am scared

[pale wolf]

yea

[balmy ridge]

trvke

[magic tree]

ah cool what elo

[pale wolf]

1500 elo on lichess like 2018

I should say I played Chess

[magic tree]

im 2000 rapid

[white zodiac]

oh that’s where the emote came from i was going crazy

[serene forge]

damn i got tired of chess.com being shitty so i moved to lichess a month ago

[balmy ridge]

i think my peak was like 1100 🥀

[serene forge]

now im like 1500 rapid as well

[cloud sinew]

my peak is 15 wins in a row on gold stake

[magic tree]

on chessdotcom

[pale wolf]

The funniest thing is that it's been the best version of online chess for over a decade

[nova mantle]

Favorite joker out of the sinful jokers?

[pale wolf]

but chess.com just has so much money

[royal bobcat]

thats pretty good, considering mine is a measly 4

[serene forge]

i got mad at chess.com shoving membership ads into my face so yea i moved

lichess is legit so much better

and cleaner

and people are nicer there

[white zodiac]

i got tired of “thinking about playing some chess sometime” and just settled with “thinking about playing some sudoku”

[potent tree]

bruh i didn't find wee after ouija made 8 new 2's

[pale wolf]

oh no you didn't find a specific rare Joker? nobody could have predicted this

[royal bobcat]

whyd you ouija in the first place

[potent tree]

i just found it the next run in a buffoon pack

i am now validated in being angry

[magic tree]

very useful egg

[nova mantle]

I couldnt find a canio after getting a hanged man and a fool bruh 😭 so unlucky

[plucky shuttle]

Temperance value goes nuts

[pale wolf]

genuinely it would be an okay pickup if you had any money

somehow you're completely broke

[magic tree]

yeah

[balmy ridge]

god i fucking love trading card

[magic tree]

just like IRL

[pale wolf]

what's your favorite card to trade

[magic tree]

[balmy ridge]

huh

[magic tree]

mega charizard ex

[pale wolf]

You said you like trading cards

[balmy ridge]

i like yugioh alot but thats different

[magic tree]

too bad black hole doesnt work with the fool

[balmy ridge]

what if showman was freakkyyyyy

[sinful plaza]

why do I got the drippiest jokers ever

[crystal field]

and there it is

[cloud sinew]

i stopped playing for months and now i suck compared to then

[balmy ridge]

oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good job

[sinful plaza]

what game is this

[balmy ridge]

@crystal field

[pale wolf]

usually when I drop a game and come back to it after weeks or months I am just as good tbh

[balmy ridge]

sonic and the black knight

[crystal field]

hai

[nova mantle]

Canio sweep

[crystal field]

thx yaaa

[balmy ridge]

it was rick

[pale wolf]

once it starts getting into years territory tho

[balmy ridge]

@crystal field we shoud be friends

[nova mantle]

Nice regardless

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[raw loom]

@smoky bobcat The silence is eerie to say least

[pale wolf]

Not what I heard

[crystal field]

i thought we alr were friends

[serene forge]

i think it's not surprising at all

[smoky bobcat]

you GOTTA get a speedup mod king

[serene forge]

they did take a scary face on abandoned deck

[smoky bobcat]

try handy or smth

[nova mantle]

Why did it have a stroke mid naneinf

[smoky bobcat]

also oh shit nice naneinf i didnt see the score at the end lol

[sinful plaza]

the egg for show

[pale wolf]

[cloud sinew]

i think it's mostly just the autism tbh. i was hyperfixated on balatro, i played it for like ~5 hours a day for 2 months straight. it took me 2 weeks to do gold stake gauntlet and then another week to do challenge gauntlet, and now i just dont have that same desire to do much with balatro. it's absolutely still a special interest, im just not hyperfixated on it

[white zodiac]

i should give nitro to ppl here who completes my suggested challenge runs i create out of the blue wdyt

[pale wolf]

nitro bounties

[balmy ridge]

blud invested

[azure ivy]

I played this game so wrong before returning to it lol

[cloud sinew]

nitro bounties, baller. andolth is the new me

[raw loom]

Brother I am playing on the ps5 pro where having more than 70 cryptids instantly crashes the game

Even in this run I could not after ante 15 or 16 even press R2 to see my deck as it would instantly crash the game

[azure ivy]

Like all I did was go for big score, but it’s much more fun to try to just beat each stake

[smoky bobcat]

based ???? good luck lmao ok

[pale wolf]

new spud on the block

[white zodiac]

can’t believe lilo gave me nitro last month

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[pale wolf]

[serene forge]

will you give me nitro if i say the opposite of "i hate bloodstone"

[crystal field]

i wish there were vcs for stream game

[white zodiac]

[pale wolf]

only if you put it in your main profile nickname

[white zodiac]

you have like 40 saved up u don’t need it

[nova mantle]

Would love to watch someone play here honestly

[raw loom]

The temperance value from egg was carrying ngl

[crystal field]

same or play to get advice mid run would be cool

[pale wolf]

The term sell value is misleading because the biggest asset is temperance value

[crystal field]

just got c++.... what now

[serene forge]

thats fine my gf will just change her name to bloodstone

[crystal field]

guess its time to go for streaks

[nova mantle]

Challenges?

[balmy ridge]

again!

[pale wolf]

is that really the reality you want

[balmy ridge]

thats what im doing

[crystal field]

done all the challenges

[crystal field]

mmmaybe

[pale wolf]

[crystal field]

see how fast i can

[white zodiac]

all the times she’s said it in the past to haunt her gf

[nova mantle]

Play another game

[serene forge]

i love my gf regardless

[crystal field]

ive been itching for a minecraft 2 week phase

[hybrid tendon]

it's okay tho

[pale wolf]

well sorry I thought you actually had true hatred for Bloodstone

unconditional hate

[nova mantle]

Go for it

[white zodiac]

that was close

[mystic arch]

round 2 photochad ✌️

[hybrid tendon]

win

[pale wolf]

I've been so busy today I don't even know if I'll be able to fit in a balatro run

[hybrid tendon]

why showman and why baron tho

losing money

[white zodiac]

i’ve fit in one and it was
fun for once

[pale wolf]

Showman actually makes sense with photo chad

[hybrid tendon]

oh yeah

but why baron

[mystic arch]

idek just picked them up

[nova mantle]

I was consistently having progress in my c++ until I got a graphics card, I'm now dumbfounded by playing Minecraft with shaders

[mystic arch]

i did end up winning the run so yeah

[hybrid tendon]

you should keep money for econ 😭

[white zodiac]

well

sort of

[mystic arch]

thought baron might be good

and got a second chad because of showman

[white zodiac]

apart from everything else ft showman

[pale wolf]

it will make packs slightly worse but the chances of copying photo or Chad are just astronomical value

[white zodiac]

imagine if more x mults existed as commons with it’s influence

[crystal field]

hell yea

balatro shaders when

[white zodiac]

better planet probability or better score ceiling

[nova mantle]

Showmans value here it's seen as astronomical cause it's normal value is always negative 😭

[white zodiac]

pick one

[balmy ridge]

cant wait for blue seal nerf

[pale wolf]

unless you're actively blocking with planets, in which case I guess you can just sell showman if you really need to, but for a lot of the time you don't actually get to effectively block in the early game

[nova mantle]

I wish for ray traced jokers

[white zodiac]

you also don’t have money early game to make use of showbizman

[pale wolf]

there's still the issue that it lets multiple bad options show up, which is universally bad, while letting multiple good options show up is useless because you only get to choose one from the pack anyways usually

[potent tree]

goodbye rocket?

[nova mantle]

And real time reflections on my glass cards

[balmy ridge]

whats wee at

[potent tree]

248

[pale wolf]

yes

[balmy ridge]

yeah i think rocket goes

[pale wolf]

literally like one lucky card makes it worth it

[balmy ridge]

zebra was that a joke

[pale wolf]

oh also being unable to lose helps

[balmy ridge]

what u said about trading card

[pale wolf]

I don't know I don't play trading cards

yes

[balmy ridge]

i'm too artistic for this shiz

[crystal field]

trading card goated

[nova mantle]

Which one

[pale wolf]

I feel like my gold stake runs have been getting more and more polarized

[balmy ridge]

for realz

[pale wolf]

I haven't had just a normal solid win, either I struggle the entire game or I have a complete blowout

[balmy ridge]

yallo!! big summer blowout!!

[nova mantle]

1 million millions of barely scrapping the 400k for the finisher blind

[crystal field]

that part

[smoky bobcat]

hey wait thats the wrong legendary for this pack

[crystal field]

liquidation only voucher thats always $7

[pale wolf]

yaaaaw... that's hot, that's hot

[pale wolf]

fun fact, there's a very small chance that it replaced what would have been a soul without omen globe

[smoky bobcat]

FUCK

oh well ive already got 2 perkeos

[nova mantle]

It's so ass how soul and black hole got the same probability

[cloud sinew]

0.3% that the black hole there replaced Soul, my beloved

[pale wolf]

it would be cool if black hole was more common I guess

I kind of just want it to be better though

Instead of more common

[nova mantle]

Black hole ain't that good to deserve those odds

[cloud sinew]

me too

making it more common just means it impacts more games, rather than being more impactful per use

[pale wolf]

it should be an orbital tag for every hand, not a planet card for every hand

[cloud sinew]

good change i think

[pale wolf]

I just think it fits thematically, what with gravity and stuff

[cloud sinew]

they be orbitting

[nova mantle]

Disabling jokers at 1 hands remaining when yo ass got acrobat must suck so much 😭

[pale wolf]

It's like card sharp on the eye but reversed

[white zodiac]

finally acrobat counter

[opal delta]

photochad from the first riff raff is wild

[pale wolf]

You know, nobody ever asked me about zero being inclusive, but I just want to note that it would disable end of round economy Jokers

[sinful plaza]

is this good so far

[white zodiac]

does that require using your last hand

[pale wolf]

it would be in like a weird limbo between using your last hand and the boss blind being defeated

yeah it would

[white zodiac]

o

[fringe crest]

guys im out of school and now imm in esports

yayyayaya

today was really boring

[vale shale]

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

[white zodiac]

black

[pale wolf]

Black

[fringe crest]

deff black

[white zodiac]

the reward

after

[opal delta]

I wish I knew how to play the game

[vale shale]

Bro I'm 6/10 in black already

[nova mantle]

Ghost deck I do not wish harm on you

[white zodiac]

promise

[molten pier]

FIRST GOLD STAKE WIN

[fringe crest]

why is EVERYTHING eternal

[vale shale]

Unfortunately. I do the first deck given.

[nova mantle]

Good luck

[white zodiac]

what’s wrong with it

[pale wolf]

You're missing out on the base chips for verdant leaf, if you ignore the ones that aren't eternal

[fringe crest]

i dont think youre supposed to max out your jokers with eternals

[pale wolf]

[fringe crest]

i love eternal egg

[white zodiac]

who's gonna stop me

[nova mantle]

This build is madness

[fringe crest]

the joker slot it takes isnt even that bad

[pale wolf]

Splash should count as an uncommon for bbc

but stay common rarity

[white zodiac]

i

uh

ok

[fringe crest]

i never take splash

almost never good

[pale wolf]

It's useful sometimes

[fringe crest]

yeah

sure

has a few good synergys

buuuuut

its not that good

on pairs if you have lucky cards in deck it's sort of like a knockoff chad

[nova mantle]

It's very useful when you got rtb and you wanna reset it

[white zodiac]

splash should affect cards held in hand as played

[pale wolf]

1 in 3 to score each Card held in hand as if it were played

[fringe crest]

yeah i would only use it with a lucky card build but ive only used lucky card builds twice

[nova mantle]

No steel 😭

[pale wolf]

wut

[fringe crest]

i dont like lucky cards

[pale wolf]

they're very powerful though

[nova mantle]

Heresy

[white zodiac]

you saw in the exact run what I used splash for practically

[fringe crest]

in white stake ill use lucky sure

but its too unreliable for gold

[white zodiac]

don't tell me you see lucky cards with the intent to score

[pale wolf]

1 score of a lucky card is $1.3_, or $1.6_ when you don't have any interest

[nova mantle]

It's likely the best card enhancer it ain't useless zawg 😭

[fringe crest]

gold is the best

[nova mantle]

And it synergizes with the coolest card in the game

[pale wolf]

I think gold is better than lucky but magician is better than devil

[wary flicker]

why lusty joker fan?

[white zodiac]

its near the top

[white zodiac]

uhh that's

interesting

[fringe crest]

so basically it lets you go below interest cap without being punnishedede

[pale wolf]

if gold and lucky cards are close to each other in value, then the one that gives you two of them should be better

[wary flicker]

what

[pale wolf]

ie I will take a gold card over a lucky card in pack

[white zodiac]

what would you red card skip more often on abandoned

uhh

what

oh

[fringe crest]

i like using gold because it also means you dont technically need a econ joker

if you have enough gold

[lost vault]

still should have one tho

money is power 33

:3

[white zodiac]

standard pack is a no brainer but arcanas are still the same

[pale wolf]

with red card the priorities change a little bit because guaranteed economy is more important

[lost vault]

also gold cards are 3 dollar per round thats worse than goldy

[fringe crest]

thats why i said multiple gold

[pale wolf]

red seal gold is fun

[nova mantle]

No other card will give 20 mult and 20 dollars on a given proc
And no mult cards with a gold seal don't count

[lost vault]

okay but u wont always draw them

[fringe crest]

thats why i said multiple

[lost vault]

okay but gold seal mult card is betyer than lucky on average

[lost vault]

bruh

how many even is multiple

[fringe crest]

a bunch

[lost vault]

💀

[nova mantle]

But it's so boriiiing they don't have the dopamine of gambling duuh

[lost vault]

okay im not discussing this

[lost vault]

uh

[lost vault]

genuinely dont understand this

[nova mantle]

THIS AIN'T COUNT 😭 😭

[lost vault]

wrong, luckies give 1.67 bucks on average

20/15

[balmy ridge]

femboy

[pale wolf]

only when you don't have any money broke boi

[lost vault]

yep

[lost vault]

wht

[pale wolf]

1.3 when above interest cap

[weak shale]

20 bucks for a 1/15 would be an average of 1.33 bucks each time no?

[lost vault]

yes whatever

:p

[nova mantle]

Gambling = fun
Guaranteed outcome ≠ gambling
In consequence
Guaranteed outcome ≠ fun

[pale wolf]

1.666... is balatro evil

[white zodiac]

if I have 8 ball I value lucky cards more

[lost vault]

its not gambling though? you arent putting anything on the line when playing a lucky card

[pale wolf]

Even if they are A-9?

[nova mantle]

Yes if the lucky card doesn't hit I explode

[lost vault]

bruh

[white zodiac]

late game prob yeah

[pale wolf]

anticipating retriggers or what

[white zodiac]

early/mid is self explanatory

[white zodiac]

trigger sources, oopsies, gato, or what not

[pale wolf]

I just had a crazy idea

yorick (legendary)
1 in 23 Chance to gain 1X per discarded card

[white zodiac]

you bloodstoned a legendary how dare you

[gloomy marsh]

yo i was talking to you about the dna hex run earlier. does arrowhead have any viability here?? eternal rental sucks but as a negative is sick

[pale wolf]

well I was thinking, uric is basically just a probability Joker with pity system

yorick

[gloomy marsh]

or i just grab golden probably and a celestial pack

[nova mantle]

Is this yorick perhaps from Hamlet?

[pale wolf]

Like if 8-ball gave a tarot card for every 4 scored 8s

[white zodiac]

fair enough
u should make it scale based on remaining discards for x mult to maintain its synergy flavor

[pale wolf]

and then I was like what if it was the other way around

[nova mantle]

Where he may or may not have been killed at 23

[pale wolf]

does he kill himself? I thought he was killed

murdered I should say

[nova mantle]

1 in 2 chance of either

Schrodinger's Hamlet perhaps

[pale wolf]

actually seems like he's just dead

He's been dead for 23 years

[potent tree]

"oh no, the verdant leaf! whatever shall i do?"

[opal delta]

what if we make canio have a 1 in 8 chance to add back a face card it destroyed

[pale wolf]

what

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opal delta]

🎉

[nova mantle]

Sell fool

[opal delta]

I wish I was better at this game

any contribution I try to make ends up being horrible

[solemn tide]

Is it bad to skip every blind at the start of the run

eh ig it means no money

most of the time

[cloud sinew]

yes

[cloud sinew]

Canio does not need this

[lost vault]

hallo lilo

[cloud sinew]

hallo

[lost vault]

:3

[dreamy creek]

I love bloodstone

[unborn cliff]

sell brainstorm

[solemn tide]

I should upgrade my cards based on how I wanna play yeah? Or aim for a balance of each

high card feels like a total waste

[fallow fog]

x531441

[main delta]

[serene forge]

99% of the time

[serene forge]

nope

[winged vault]

I hate x-ray challenge sometimes

[serene forge]

the right hand to play is case by case

usually its pairs but not all the time

[solemn tide]

hm

I'm im tryna get better at this game

absolute happiness

[sinful plaza]

wtf man

[pale wolf]

OKAY!!! IT IS
-# time

[pale wolf]

for tdl ofc

[fringe warren]

Not getting a single oops in 25 rounds

[pale wolf]

misprint says next card wouldve been a 6 of clubs so i wasnt just off either

TDL on high card

[twin lantern]

SIX SEVEEEEEEN

[white zodiac]

I can't count

[soft vapor]

Someone in a Mod for balala discord server got banned because they were reporting people at the slightest break of the discord tos lmao

[pale wolf]

[soft vapor]

60 chip

Yummers

[pale wolf]

nah the foil

[soft vapor]

Foil is quite good

[pale wolf]

i still have As but ive been building 10

[soft vapor]

Unless you use ecto or something

[pale wolf]

michel extincted, space joker is here

this seed is free

could pivot aj but why

[sinful plaza]

wtf man

egg is better

[serene forge]

I hate Blodstone

[fringe crest]

yuh

yuh yuh yuh

[serene forge]

@fervent wolf

[sinful plaza]

damn

[fringe crest]

hi guys

[pale wolf]

scholar better than abstract here tbh

[fervent wolf]

Let's goooo

[pale wolf]

i can turn scholar off, cant turn abstract off

[fringe crest]

deck tho?

show me your deck

[fallow fog]

ayo

[fringe crest]

ayo what

[stark karma]

based

[fringe crest]

i need to appraise his deck

[stark karma]

we love toggleable score

[fringe crest]

yeah yeah yeah

[stark kettle]

First post here nice to meet yall is acro worth a grab here, if so for what?

[unborn cliff]

what do your hand levels look like

[pale wolf]

matagoat
goatador

[stark kettle]

All level 1 and 2

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[pale wolf]

hi welcome, you are skipping WAY too much

[sinful plaza]

my first ever flush five

[unborn cliff]

what level is flush

[stark kettle]

Flush is 1 straight flush is 2

[unborn cliff]

sell seltzer

[opal delta]

is this an act of ouija or death

[dire crater]

Why level tags always upgrade the most useless hand and never the one youre using

[sinful plaza]

what does ouja do

[pale wolf]

I genuinely think this might be the easiest seed of all time

[stark kettle]

I’m relatively new is skipping not advised? I felt like the perks of skipping were really helpful

[opal delta]

it makes all the cards in your hand one rank and decreases your handsize by one

[sinful plaza]

when I used some spectral card I got like 8 Kings so

[pale wolf]

The issue is that when you skip you're getting rid of an entire shop's worth of potential options to see, increasing the scoring requirements, and missing out on whatever hand money/ income you would make from the blind

[opal delta]

oh

so its ouija then

[sinful plaza]

and I am using that deck giving two fools

I copied death a bunch

[pale wolf]

most of your scoring and scaling comes from seeing what's in the shops, or playing hands in rounds

You have ancient Joker and Seltzer, which both do encourage skipping in certain situations, but not without good reason to

what's actually in the tags is rarely the reason to skip, except in the very first ante

[stark kettle]

Gotcha that makes sense I was trying to run through fast as I was scoring high enough to win early and thought it may be worth the coin flip at the end to hold onto seltzer and hope for a heart or spade on the last round

[hybrid tendon]

first time seeing this

[pale wolf]

oh geez I didn't even register that you were on checkered with ancient Joker

[pale wolf]

yeah that's absymal for lack of a better word

[serene forge]

i sniped you lmaooo

[dire crater]

But...investment tag and coupon tag ante 1

[pale wolf]

ancient Joker doesn't look at what's in your deck, so checkered is pretty much unusable for it as a main scoring source

[serene forge]

yeah ancient on checkered is completely non viable unless you have smeared

[serene forge]

coupon sucks

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[serene forge]

me too!!!!!

[dire crater]

Why

[opal delta]

same!!!

[pale wolf]

what if ancient picked from the initial deck instead of evenly thru suits

[pale wolf]

erratic would be really funny

and checkered would be op

[opal delta]

I hate making stupid ideas about the game and then feeling bad about it

I should just not talk at all

[dire crater]

leave that to locslthunks

[serene forge]

saving 1 dollar on a rental joker is useless, rental eternals are useless, no guarantee to even find anything remotely useful in shop or in packs which is not good when you're losing a shop chance

[dire crater]

who said anything about rentals

[heady narwhal]

the shop has rentals

[dire crater]

dont get angry jeez

[dire crater]

not all shops

[serene forge]

close the server guys chat's never gonna get better than this

[languid heron]

If youre playing white stake you 100% have þe econ to not need it

[heady narwhal]

a lot of them

[dire crater]

But not alls

always bet on coupon tag

[heady narwhal]

aside from rentals there are also bad eternals which you don't want to take, perishables which give $2 at best, etc

the money saved isn't going to be anywhere near the money you'd earn from playing a round

and you're missing a shop + round of scaling

[serene forge]

coupon below gold stake is mediocre but usable kinda
coupon on gold stake is actually so fucking bad

[vale shale]

Anyways

I'm starting black deck run

6/10 maybe 6/11 or 7/11

[dire crater]

in ante 1?

i said coupon tag in ante 1

[heady narwhal]

is d6 tag ever good? i don't think so but i could see it being usable in like, ante 7 small blind $80 need to find something to get through wall

[heady narwhal]

remember that losing $3 in ante 1 sets you back multiple rounds for getting to the interest cap

you also are more likely to die to a1 hook/manacle or a2 small blind with one fewer shop to find a scoring joker

[white zodiac]

that would indirectly make aj worse

[tired kestrel]

It's effectively 5 bucks every reroll

[stark kettle]

New question 😭 traded seltzer for acro got an ecto and now I have a smeared does smeared give me a guaranteed proc for ancient?

[dire crater]

i mean, starting ante 2 with 25$ and a free shop its kinda good

[heady narwhal]

the hell are you gonna do that

[pale wolf]

how

[dire crater]

jokers

Idk

[white zodiac]

syn made a compelling reason to consider it on anaglyph for higher antes

[opal delta]

its not guaranteed but it makes you hit flushes more

[dire crater]

why you guys are so close minded

[heady narwhal]

???

[white zodiac]

if you're suit fixing and decides to pull a classic idol maneuver

[dire crater]

so mean

[white zodiac]

what happens

[opal delta]

@serene forge umamusume

[pale wolf]

yeah he made the point that it's not the same as chaos, you get basically $5 back for every single reroll you'd take in the round for a d6

[dire crater]

september

[opal delta]

[pale wolf]

i should send this seed to doc saying there was literally no scoring options

[white zodiac]

yeah

smh

lost my win streak because of this

[opal delta]

hi andolth

[tired kestrel]

guh

[stark karma]

lmaooo

[opal delta]

btw the phone arrived yesterday

so exciting

[white zodiac]

I should send him this seed being deceptively annoying to pilot through

[white zodiac]

what phone is it

also

[opal delta]

the same one

[white zodiac]

oh

[dire crater]

Obelisk sucks

[white zodiac]

ok

what happened to being open minded

[dire crater]

i cant with that bad rare

It shouldnt be rare to be honest

[white zodiac]

yikes

[fringe crest]

i just got home guys

[dire crater]

maybe uncommon

[fringe crest]

yayayayay no school for the next like 14 hours

[fringe crest]

no no no it SHOULD be rare so you dont see it as often

[silent sentinel]

im on a run of a lifetime rn

[pale wolf]

when you see it

[fringe crest]

oh

there was one run where my best score was like 88,888,788

[vale shale]

Is this a bad idea. Yes.

[dire crater]

Jokers like drivers licence should be to the left or right

[fringe crest]

uhh

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[fringe crest]

right?

[white zodiac]

this is mostly user error, if you can't pilot an objectively powerful joker as a tool for scoring then idk what to tell you

[vale shale]

Right?

What

[fringe crest]

xmult on right +mult on left

[lunar zealot]

where is my hello

[vale shale]

Am I getting fish baited.

[fringe crest]

0.2 and resseting that easy cant be that good, other jokers can buff faster

[opal delta]

what hand do you use for vampire

[fringe crest]

eww bl**dstone

[white zodiac]

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opal delta]

[minor portal]

[fringe crest]

[minor portal]

the hornet hates bloodstone

[fringe crest]

"yay i get to max out at ante 13!"

[dire crater]

I think she means a bloodstone in hollow knight

[serene forge]

most intelligent coupon skip taker

[silent sentinel]

wow people just hating in here huh

[fringe crest]

yes

[dire crater]

Why youre so mean, thats not a real hornet silksong

😔

[white zodiac]

aka 0.8x scaling per round being faster "free scaling" than most other x mult scalers and is hard to intentionally reset with a decently high hand ceiling

[serene forge]

i think you should be open minded

[pale wolf]

uhm

what the fuck is this seed

[minor portal]

#🕹・game-discussion is meant for nothing but evil

[fringe crest]

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[pale wolf]

id clear plant regardless

[fringe crest]

ik its still win

[white zodiac]

idk @serene forge

[fringe crest]

dont yell at me

[dire crater]

Im gonna open your mind with my fist

[minor portal]

I'm pretty sure the balatro server is one of the rings in Dante's Inferno.

[stark kettle]

Okay last one 😂 I’m excited this might be my first gold stake win I need 1.2 mil to win the throwback will give me x4 ancient is on spades so I’m good there do I sell smeared and grab throwback and scary? Also are my cards correctly aligned assuming I throw scary in front then throwback at the end?

[serene forge]

woahhhhhh

im so deathly afraid of your threat

[fringe crest]

you cant sell smeared

[white zodiac]

oh I died with photo ballot today with a free win run cause I got bored and stopped paying attention

[dire crater]

La has liado

[serene forge]

thats the hardest part about photochad runs

not falling asleep

[white zodiac]

paying attention

o

[stark kettle]

Oh no your right do I go throwback then?

[serene forge]

literally you have to try to die with photochad

its way too good

[fringe crest]

also why are you on ante 8 but have ONLY played 9 rounds?

[minor portal]

skips, presumably

[fringe crest]

maybe

[stark kettle]

Lots of skips 😭

[white zodiac]

well i died cause I forgot to trigger trio when I had a 4oak with 2k short of clearing a7 eye

[minor portal]

What do you mean "maybe"

[fringe crest]

you shouldnt be spam skipping on gold stake

never ever

[opal delta]

should I take constellation or wait for michael to expire

[white zodiac]

trying to unlock andrew

[pale wolf]

safe!

[fringe crest]

its gold stake

[novel hound]

how it feels playing modded even though my biggest hand in vanilla is like 250k

[white zodiac]

its a joke

[pale wolf]

this photochad run is fun tho because i get to avoid playing the faces for space value

[white zodiac]

um

swag

[fringe crest]

i feel like its harder to get to ante 8 by spam skiping rather than playing the game normally

[minor portal]

Skipping always goes unpunished fr

[fringe crest]

no no no

[minor portal]

shops don't even matter

[fringe crest]

yes they do

man

you must not be that good

[white zodiac]

if only this statement held true

[fringe crest]

(im falling for the bait to make you feel better)

[minor portal]

it doesn't have to be bait

why so serious

[white zodiac]

im gonna do a 6 hand cap obby licks to prove your point

[minor portal]

I believe in you

[stark kettle]

Thanks for the help guys I smashed it with a 5 mil hand

how do you play so many other games but so little

[terse vale]

bala tro or blatro

[cursive lion]

idk

[pale wolf]

for 55% and then the next highest be 4 4 3 3, (which adds up to 69%), you need at least 11 more games played

you had 128

[cursive lion]

i guess its more that i played over six hundred hours so any other game would probably be beaten to dust by hours

[pale wolf]

thats a lotta blatro

i get it

[cursive lion]

the house always wins

[bleak seal]

FUCK I accidentally just took a 2nd ectoplasm on my naneinf attempt run (this will make things SO much harder)
