[shell dagger]

someone give me a random number between 0 and 1

[pale wolf]

1

[shell dagger]

thanks

[languid heron]

.987263754103

[shell dagger]

this one rounds up to 1

[pale wolf]

only one way

[languid heron]

Why no decimals?

[pale wolf]

two ways actually

[languid heron]

(√2)/2

[shell dagger]

0.7ish rounds up to 1

im not going anywhere with this btw

[languid heron]

Allow decimals you coward

[twin lantern]

Who here thinks coupon tag is good

No one?

Good

[serene forge]

yo look at the time

[lunar zealot]

.

[pale wolf]

sometime

[twin lantern]

:[ no

[pale wolf]

it can be

[twin lantern]

Its awful

Worst scoring joker in the game periot

[pale wolf]

anaglyph style coupons

[lunar zealot]

reevaluate your imo

imo

[shell dagger]

imagine if coupon gave free vouchers

[lunar zealot]

Hell yes

[pale wolf]

ok now what

[pale wolf]

why arent voucher skip free

its stoopid

[shell dagger]

idk

[twin lantern]

Arguably that would mean coupon Tag is practically +$10 soft which would actually make it good lol

[pale wolf]

coupon tag has usage

limited

[twin lantern]

All skips have limited use

[pale wolf]

but theres more situations for it than say speed tags l

[twin lantern]

There's even some use for spawning 2 common jokers

[pale wolf]

or garbage tag usually

[languid heron]

Always take þe negative tag

[twin lantern]

Wtf

NORDSMAN?

[languid heron]

Pardon?

[twin lantern]

ILL RETURN YOUR VIKING ASS TO ""VAHLALLA""" PAGAN

[pale wolf]

used antiquated speech
surprised by antiquated response

pikachu surprised emoji

[deft panther]

Shucks

[twin lantern]

Thorn is an anglo-saxon symbol it was a rune before a letter unlike most of the alphabet

I figured you'd know bc you used it :(

[uncut bison]

how it feels to get a nat negative oops and then find a bloodstone

[languid heron]

I was confused on þe meaning of "nordsman"

I assumed it was some obscure channel þat made a video on þe letter

[pale wolf]

gods it's so annoying

[twin lantern]

Yeah BR*TISH people are from a couple of German tribes that invaded britian

Original prittanic people are gone, mostly due to Romans

[bleak seal]

Holy shit I just got nat negative rebate. This is almost as hype as when I got nat negative troubadour in one of my prior naneinf runs

ts is peak

[cloud sinew]

Hey Lois, that reminds me of that time I got a nat negative troubadour in one of my prior naneinf runs

[uncut bison]

i got one on one of mine before but i got it JUST as I had to start serpent farming

top 5 instances of ragebait

[bleak seal]

💔

Only issue is its ante 18 and I still dont have directors cut

[uncut bison]

oof

voucher luck

[bleak seal]

WHICH IS THE SAME THING THAT KILLED THE TROUBADOUR RUN

[shell dagger]

Negative rebate is the absolute nuts for this build (actual words from the balatro wiki)

[deft panther]

Nat negative Luchador goes extremely hard

[bleak seal]

I got to ante 21 and died to the psychic

[pale wolf]

scott the woz soundin

[uncut bison]

brutal

[pale wolf]

[bleak seal]

stupid sexy burglar showing up before I have my vouchers

[shell dagger]

It’s so funny I don’t have the heart to edit it to include stuff like ticket which is arguably better

[bleak seal]

😒

[wicked warren]

i want to make a hack idol build cause i like the 2 of hearts a lot

[pale wolf]

things like this should be immortalized

[uncut bison]

hah on the run that got naneinf on eventually, I had 3k to roll for bean and got bean on the second last roll to get past ante 24, i don't think my heart rate has ever been higher

[signal frigate]

Ah yes, Colonial history lessons from the server of the hit game Balala

[bleak seal]

Me when 600 dollars each round because negative rebate (peak)

[pale wolf]

it either happens or it doesnt

[twin lantern]

Its nearly 1000years before "colonial" history but okay

[uncut bison]

so peak

[signal frigate]

I see Angel

[bleak seal]

Negative handsize / negative econ jokers in naneinf runs are so sexy its amazing

[twin lantern]

I hate naneinf

[uncut bison]

i got a run like that with red polychrome 5s that got to ante 27 on plasma

[twin lantern]

Never doing that shit again

[signal frigate]

I found it boring now

[uncut bison]

idol runs are really fun

[bleak seal]

Idol is fun I agree

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 2

[odd current]

What do I drop?

[signal frigate]

The deck fixing part of it is fun imo

[uncut bison]

yeah

[signal frigate]

Maybe Yorick, you eventually wanna pivot to Idol unless you still need that for scoring

[twin lantern]

What's Yorick at?

[odd current]

5x

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 3

[uncut bison]

5x isnt really gonna matter in the grand scheme of endless scaling right? that's my thoughts at least

[signal frigate]

You have sock so definitely pivot to Idol at some point

[signal frigate]

If you're stacking multipliers, a single multiplier isn't gonna do it

So yeah

[twin lantern]

It depends on if you have redseals

Its pretty close, you're gonna have to find something like Idol soon

[serene forge]

photograph

[twin lantern]

Bc with redseals its 4⁴ vs 5³ but without redseals its 5³ vs 4³

[distant vault]

Vagabond my beloved

[white zodiac]

diabolical first guess

[serene forge]

we got ||rare xmult joker|| like 3 times in a row so i said fuck it

[twin lantern]

Isn't riff raff impossible to guess because its the only joker to have its ability?

Like wordle works bc all words use yhe same letters

[wicked warren]

indeed you do

how to beat jokerless

its my last challenge i dont understand

[serene forge]

counts as creation probably

[bleak seal]

Exponential scaling > linear scaling

[bold star]

So, which one i should replace again?

[serene forge]

dna

[hybrid tendon]

riff raff counts as creation

[bleak seal]

Only bad part about getting all 4 copy jokers so quickly is that I cant accumulate as many double tags because my joker roster is full

[west perch]

can someone help me better understand how to gold stake plasma

[pale wolf]

for EST?

[west perch]

i'm trying to focus on just +chip or xmult but even with like insanely good starts i just get outscaled by like ante 6

[pale wolf]

for dec 16?

[bold star]

Do i need the green joker at all?

[hybrid tendon]

yeh

est

[pale wolf]

yea yea this sucked

my balatrodle in 3 as well, spoilers

[lunar zealot]

You are stupid

[pale wolf]

what 😭

why

[lunar zealot]

because

_ _

[bold star]

Do, hieroglyph reset blind?

[pale wolf]

no

[hybrid tendon]

no

[lunar zealot]

hieroglyph is -1 ante

[pale wolf]

it sets the ante back 1 which just lowers scoring requirements

but it adds an ante to the run

[lunar zealot]

It lowers your scoring requirements but also lowers your overall scoring

truly the equilibrium of our time

[stark kettle]

Thought this was pretty cool

[lunar zealot]

👀

[bold star]

Yay, the plant beat my ass again, one or quite few time

[bleak seal]

Erm chat what do I do about the eye

Its ante 22 and I still dont have directors cut

Get as many mercurys as I can ig??

[bold star]

There was a plant tho,

[bleak seal]

Okay I found a bean

I can sell dna

Use bean

And pray that's enough scoring

Okay I got past it

But I had to use a double tag

And my dna is gone

[hybrid tendon]

this was such a dumb play

wtf

why did you do that

[bleak seal]

Huh

Because I wouldve died if I didnt

[hybrid tendon]

I mean to the taking bs instead of green

[bleak seal]

It was a boss blind I couldn't beat

[hybrid tendon]

not you

[bleak seal]

Ohh okay

Anyway I'm about to die at ante 24 because I accidentally discarded the steel instead of the gold ( I didnt get much sleep I'm so zoned out)

[minor portal]

got that money up instead of that funny up 🗣️🔥

[bleak seal]

I keep getting great runs that just die to me not finding SPECIFICALLY the boss reroll vouchers

Its happened like

4 times now

[supple yarrow]

yo i like js got an ante 1 perkeo, idk how to do this it hasnt happened to me before

halp

[bleak seal]

I can hypothetically survive if I use all my remaining hands to find the steel, then after the boss I find Antimatter, and then DNA

That's the only way I dont die

Jesus

I survived by 1 e

Time to see if the voucher is exactly antimatter

It was not antimatter

Wowzer

OH AND ITS THE PSYCHIC

THIS FUCKING GUY

I HATE HIM

HE KILLS ALL MY GOOD RUNS WTF

Oh and burger appears right as I die

Awesome

Negative scholar on my last reroll

[supple yarrow]

dam

[bleak seal]

DocSpectred haunts me

Welp

Ggs

[wary zodiac]

ggwp

[wary zodiac]

LFQSN7VP

take the -1 ante voucher and buy the wraith in shop, idr if its small or big blind ante 1

you don't have to reroll though

remember to use ghost deck!

[woven spire]

to do list classic:

[humble hound]

i think this game hates me

[opal delta]

why not take the stencil

its a free 3x mult

[wary zodiac]

is this what the kids call photochad

[cloud sinew]

also it'd be 4x here

[opal delta]

the joker on the right

[opal delta]

oops

[humble hound]

okay

[opal delta]

I didnt notice it was black deck

[humble hound]

i thought you were trolling

[opal delta]

no

if you can get two stencils by the way its amazing

[humble hound]

i know im so devastated

[bleak hemlock]

erratic deck ahh

[woven spire]

all those in one shop

quite the start

Not popcorn

[opal delta]

you should consider buying the voucher

[woven spire]

I did

Definetly helping me to find those queens

[north trench]

man if matador worked with all of the bosses then its literally the perfect card, it doesnt need to be reworked

i just popped off when i saw it and i had the psychic coming up

[fringe crest]

hi all

actuallyly

i dont feel like talking rn

bye all

[frigid orchid]

Is Inscryption kind of like balatro and Shotgun Roulette

I'm playing it rn

[hybrid tendon]

[frigid orchid]

[hybrid tendon]

more similar to like, yu gi oh or magic

[frigid orchid]

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon

[hybrid tendon]

@serene forge

[serene forge]

[hybrid tendon]

[tough hemlock]

WHAT THE FUCK

[hybrid tendon]

your negative perkeo doesn't look very much negative

[supple yarrow]

this is so hard aaa

[hybrid tendon]

oh it's not negative

I'm an idiot

[cloud sigil]

whatever

[hybrid tendon]

awesome

[serene forge]

smartest photochad user

[tough hemlock]

its not that seed

unseeded

[hybrid tendon]

wdym that seed? many seeds got perkeo negatéve

[tough hemlock]

its unseeded

[hybrid tendon]

I mean yeah I guessed that

why would I talk about a seeded run

[tough hemlock]

in the money

[hybrid tendon]

huh

kill photo then win

[shell dagger]

Kill rebat

[hybrid tendon]

no ?????????

[serene forge]

WHY TWO PAIRS

oops caps

[shell dagger]

What do they need the money for

Photo scores more than rebate

[cloud sinew]

checkered streak of 3 :3

[shell dagger]

Perkeo at least generates planets

[serene forge]

im assuming they want this run to actually go somewhere in endless

[tough hemlock]

i cpuldnt find anything

[hybrid tendon]

they're on white stake, they're going endless

[shell dagger]

wtf eww

[tough hemlock]

so i took it to sell

[hybrid tendon]

fair

copy the hermit now

[tough hemlock]

now i sell rebate tho

[hybrid tendon]

no

sell sock and double copy trib

[cloud sinew]

😭

[hybrid tendon]

keep your econ

trust

[tough hemlock]

what

[cloud sinew]

definitely keep econ but like

[tough hemlock]

i can just pick up temperance

[serene forge]

sell trib ngl

[cloud sinew]

dropping sock is probably not the play because golden ticket is the econ later

[unique drift]

can someone teach me the game imma go crazy cant go beyond 80k+

[hybrid tendon]

balatro univeristy

fr

[opal delta]

I should gold stake checkered deck without playing a flush

[unique drift]

[opal delta]

[serene forge]

[wary zodiac]

impossiblr

[wary zodiac]

photochad

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[hybrid tendon]

finally

[humble hound]

maybe there is a god

[hybrid tendon]

just play a normal thing

[serene forge]

that's why you should sell it

[wary zodiac]

looks outside

[serene forge]

ankh in next shop

[humble hound]

[hybrid tendon]

wow

ecto ankh next

[wary zodiac]

TWO WHEEL HITS LMFAO 😭

[humble hound]

🤞

[opal delta]

so tempting but I must stick to the challenge…

no flushes

[serene forge]

meh tribe is awful anyways

[wary zodiac]

this might be the death of me though

two more jokers i can't get negative on

[hybrid tendon]

I thought you said gold stake ?

[pale wolf]

mfw tribe isn't enough to justify flushes

[pale wolf]

to gold stake

[opal delta]

yeah I havent started checkered deck on this save yet

[crystal field]

average white stake checkered run

[wary zodiac]

behold, my best hand

[opal delta]

im gonna keep playing checkered deck without playing a flush

[wary zodiac]

holy photochad

[hybrid tendon]

I mean I got up to orange on every deck before trying gold on any

[crystal field]

for the achievement

[pale wolf]

same

[hybrid tendon]

I just assume people have gold unlocked before trying

[pale wolf]

the gold sweep

[hybrid tendon]

gold sweep except I'm doing c++ during it so the sweep takes 100 runs

c++ first, then c+ then c

ofc

😎

[supple yarrow]

does anyone here know a good way to deal with getting early double perkeo but little score, im a little lost

[hybrid tendon]

planets

[opal delta]

the run so far

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opal delta]

im gonna start recording

[supple yarrow]

i just realised how dumb i am lol, can probably just get jupiter and get tons, ty

[wary zodiac]

oh

[supple yarrow]

(im saying jupiter beacuse i have literlally just jimbo)

[wary zodiac]

what do i sell here

surely i sell my econ right

[opal delta]

I forgot to hit record again

😭

[wary zodiac]

is the best play selling showman or to the moon

😔

i'll be back down to 10$ per game

i don't think its that bad

i'll just be able to roll slightly less

made up my mind

[hybrid tendon]

It's okay lmao, we all do dimb shit sometimes

[hybrid tendon]

Pairs would be better of gou have no deck fixing

Get lots of pairs

Scales almost as fats

Afast

Fast

[wary zodiac]

oh ):

[wary zodiac]

dude why did i reroll it

that was so stupid

why

why

💔

[supple yarrow]

im mostly just going through the seed over and over because i keep playing the same dumb thing on this , i havnt ever found pairs tho, otherwise i wouldve

[hybrid tendon]

No mercury 😔

[wary zodiac]

red seal glass queens

[hybrid tendon]

Seedmaxxing lol

[wary zodiac]

my first actually good run i think

im ass at the game so im proud of this

[serene forge]

blowman

[wary zodiac]

no i greeded and sold my econ

[serene forge]

what

why

[wary zodiac]

i don't think it would've mattered much either way though

[supple yarrow]

i mean i found a double perkeo unseeded im gonna try and work with it

[wary zodiac]

didn't need it very much

all it did was let me reroll a few more times

i had lots of time

if i kept blowman i coulf sell it later after getting either another sock, chad or photo

[pallid ferry]

two certificates are better than one

madness at home

[nova mantle]

turns out, if you get both extra hands vouchers, loyalty card is a better acrobat

[heavy heron]

posting this again because i had an idol run today and it was very fun

🗿

[opal delta]

checkered deck to gold stake with no flushes challenge (currently on white stake)

[supple yarrow]

well i found pairs and ended up with a blueprint

this is nice

[white zodiac]

could do this on gs

o

[supple yarrow]

this is crazy, double perkeo, blueprint, burnt joker, crazy pairs levels

[atomic trout]

Blueprint and Brainstorm. The best duo

[atomic trout]

What's the seed?

[fervent wolf]

Rip

[nova mantle]

if i JUST had focused 1 rank lower... 💔

[white zodiac]

soundboard jumpscare

[supple yarrow]

aw i lost to needle because i was unoptimal

[balmy ridge]

HUH

WHO

ping

[white zodiac]

me

when the when

[pallid ferry]

should i take this on the off chance i get a bloodstone

[rugged pollen]

Oh boy I sure wonder what am I picking

[shell rock]

are you trying to win?

[pallid ferry]

i hope it’s not ten of spades

[pallid ferry]

i dunno winning is a little overrated…

[shell rock]

true

well oops is an okay jonkler on its own so if theres a joker that's not really doing much for you AND you're building hearts, then i guess?

[pallid ferry]

yeah true..

i’ll take it 👀

[shell rock]

also hit the road enthusiast? based

[vocal rose]

you should take it but not for an off chance of getting bloodstone

get full value out of it

lucky cards and other luck interactions

[shell rock]

8 ball

[vocal rose]

bloodstone is shit

[pallid ferry]

oh yeah, maybe a business card since i have a vampire

[shell rock]

i was going to say "how difficult can a no flushes challenge be" and then i saw it was checkered deck anyway ggs

[pallid ferry]

hi brainstorm

[fading dome]

Oh this is on the fandom wiki lol. I just started frantically searching for "absolute nuts" on the new wiki lmao

[shell dagger]

Yeah looks like it got changed from the last time i checked

[distant vault]

Dead

Good run

[pallid ferry]

dang

the eye is card sharp’s worst nightmare

[bleak hemlock]

im about to poopoo my pants

[distant vault]

It was going so well..

[bleak hemlock]

my poopoo?

🙂‍↕️

[pallid ferry]

holy peak

[distant vault]

Flash at 60

[distant vault]

Thanks

[bleak hemlock]

atleeast take me to dinner 😠

[distant vault]

Where

Mcdonalds

[bleak hemlock]

🤤

sure

[fading dome]

Got any more of those gold nuggets on the new wiki? Would love to fix them

[bleak hemlock]

ive had this fatahh luchador sucking me dry for 3 antes. WHERES THE MFING PLANT

i stg. I SWEAR TO GOD

[distant vault]

Speculative luchador.. thats how you know your build is good

[bleak hemlock]

oka it landed on rebate

phew

i has a black card now

[fallow shadow]

they should buff rebate

[bleak hemlock]

mhmm

make it like 32$ per card

🥚

[slow iris]

well that is better than luchador i suppose

[fallow shadow]

they should buff rebate to make it gain +2 mult for every two pair played

negative rebate is kind of the goat

[nova mantle]

your luchador is what

[bleak hemlock]

sucking me dry

and its a rental too

so its costing by the hour

[nova mantle]

what kind of balatro are you playing

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[nova mantle]

freaky ahhh luchador

[bleak hemlock]

the best kind 🙂‍↕️

[thorn dust]

oh yeah..... it's obbin' time

[bleak hemlock]

i saw that

[serene forge]

obbin greenfoot

[bleak hemlock]

my person concubines ❤️

[vale wharf]

You made it just in time, burnt joker!

[white zodiac]

@pale wolf contender for easiest seed in question

[nova mantle]

idol waiting room

[bleak hemlock]

yea need to off the others

hang them 😎

stone them

😎

[nova mantle]

well its either 3 hanged or 5 deaths

[viral ledge]

joker idea: mimic joker that eats the card to the left of it at the end of a round and gains +5 mult per card eaten

[nova mantle]

damn the deckfixing tarots sound so violent

[stark karma]

Does certificate help with deckbuilding?

[white zodiac]

most definitely

[nova mantle]

death and hanged man? atrocious

[stark karma]

Do you not lose the queens?

[bleak hemlock]

it helps to build your deck.

[opal delta]

checkered deck to gold stake with no flushes challenge (currently on red stake)

[bleak hemlock]

makes it very fat and gir-

[night turret]

Decisions… decisions

[nova mantle]

id guess, at worst gives you better versions of your base deck

[white zodiac]

queens will become irrelevant in scoring after a couple rounds

[night turret]

What to pick

[stark karma]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[white zodiac]

i have six blue seals rn

[stark karma]

Planet levels give the mult

[nova mantle]

and if you get purple seals theres potential deckfixing there too

[bleak hemlock]

all political dissidents in the gulag 😎

[white zodiac]

might restart this run, I don't want blueprint clogging up my stats and I can't get much stickers this way rip

[bleak hemlock]

"I don't want blueprint"

a yuri hater 😠

[white zodiac]

brooke knows what I've read, she knows my stances on yuri

[viral ledge]

ive been seeing balatro yuri everywhere

but nobody has done odd todd and even steven yaoi

[cloud sinew]

yes they have

its what started the r/balatro drama a while ago

[bleak hemlock]

yep

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[bleak hemlock]

someone has a ledger

[opal delta]

checkered deck to gold stake with no flushes challenge (currently on green stake)

[viral ledge]

sorry i dont use reddit for anything other than piracy and linux support

[viral ledge]

clogged toilet challenge bruh

[serene forge]

I hate Drool Joker

[nova mantle]

reddit be a hellhole until you need a very obscure tech question or want to pirate a game

[vale wharf]

Hold on, ouija is really good for 3oak, right?

What why

[serene forge]

hand size is good

[vocal rose]

easily

purple seals allow deck fixing

[serene forge]

I love Certificate

[lunar zealot]

i mean ehhhhh not really

Ouija is like

0 use cases

just take the grim it does the same thing you need anyway

[viral ledge]

thoughts?

[serene forge]

ouija is like flush
has an obvious application but sucks because it's really bad at it

[lunar zealot]

bad dagger

[viral ledge]

oh yeah the dagger exists

[serene forge]

(flush is an "easy" five card hand but still gets absolutely screwed because its a five card hand)

[viral ledge]

okay change: it eats playing cards

you drag a card to the joker pile and feed it to the mimic

[lunar zealot]

weird trading card

[thorn dust]

my doc just called... he said i'm "obbingly a beast"

[serene forge]

what about a joker that kills you instantly if you ever pick up photo or bloodstone

[autumn prairie]

is blueprint better than troubadour here? no ectos and only 1 hand size voucher

[viral ledge]

or ballot box

[serene forge]

hanging chad is actually good is the difference

and not cringe

[lunar zealot]

chad is good

oops is fine

mime is good

sock is. usable

hack is the same way

trading card is good

The proponents are only good because they're flashy

the real good ones are the ones that let said proponents score lol

[serene forge]

hack works with weewee and fibonacci so it good

[viral ledge]

build thats just 5 normal jokers

real life balatro

[lunar zealot]

runner bus obelisk blackboard rebate

pretty normal run all things considered

could replace rebate with a constell or holo assuming good econ

[viral ledge]

joker poker balala card that gives you -4 mult

[frank grove]

its stencil time

[ripe gull]

r/balatroro

[white zodiac]

so what now

oh magic trick

[potent tree]

not as massive as others, but my wee ate good this run

[white zodiac]

oh crap i’m gonna accidentally unlock bloodstone at this rate

[potent tree]

oh wait we lived

damn

now the run ends.

wee ended at 2040 chips

stats after 6 decks completed, white to gold stake

unsurprisingly chad is now top of the list...but blueprint has surged up to 4th

passing both hologram and burgler

[icy hollow]

early burger + rtb lol holy

[potent tree]

yes i said burgler because someone said burger earlier and i can't get it off my mind

[icy hollow]

also square at 300 chips. generic slop run my beloved

🙏

bus square blackboard 😭 most default of default runs

[potent tree]

ah fun...next deck is nebula...i suffered incredibly on orange stake last time i tried this

ghost ping detected.

[serene forge]

huge flea

[potent tree]

where...

[white zodiac]

fuck what do I do

[shell dagger]

nooo bloodstone

[potent tree]

end your run ez

hold the R key

[icy hollow]

.

[potent tree]

(i have never actually done that)

[opal delta]

checkered deck to gold stake with no flushes challenge (currently on black stake)

[white zodiac]

fuck off

[shell dagger]

bruh what is that build

sauced

[white zodiac]

this started from ante 3 mind you

can’t even scale properly cause two x mults existing one being at x11 is making me score millions in one hand

if only

[distant vault]

F U CHICOT

Like 3rd time in a row I get chicot

[floral mural]

would fib for mult work well with obby?

im kinda not sure

[serene forge]

noooo why did you unlock it

[floral mural]

id have to do a 2 pair stack but still

(im using two pair for my fib triggers)

[white zodiac]

it was an accident

[serene forge]

awa

[white zodiac]

the controls were out of my hands

[karmic jetty]

Got a lucky ass gold stake win just now and 3 new stickers

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[karmic jetty]

Bull, misprint and a tribe bought ante 8 lol

Rental ramen carried me

[idle haven]

what do

im keeping showman idc

[white zodiac]

this was not worth keeping my streak

[unreal island]

what an original and memorable run

[unreal island]

ALWAYS COUNT ON SECOND TRIB

[white zodiac]

just your everyday stm run on a whim

[unreal island]

stm might be the least boring joker of the bunch

im so absolutely jaded by gold stake runs that cert isn't even interesting anymore

[white zodiac]

stm was the only joker i could’ve turned off its scoring and not have it score 500k on my throwaway hand

this run actually pissed me off

gn

[idle haven]

uh oh

[vale wharf]

@hardy fable I knew skipping was a great idea

[hardy fable]

depends but it was correct this time

[potent tree]

fib dies here right?

fullhouse level 30

[karmic jetty]

Think it has to

[potent tree]

damn wheel hitting twice in a row is wild

[vale wharf]

How is this even legal

[vale wharf]

What's the best way to use you?

[idle haven]

wowie

[vocal rose]

high card/pairs

[vocal rose]

nice

[vale wharf]

Is it a good idea to try to get more gold cards?

[idle haven]

i think we win

[fallow briar]

unmodded unseeded, man i wish i had an idol or another blueprint (or both)

is there like a table for all required scores in gold stake, i wanna know what im up against

[mortal nimbus]

you can go to the boss section of the collection to see the ante score requirements

[fallow briar]

only goes up to ante 16

what about higher

[potent tree]

well rip run. constellation got to 5.6, fullhouse was almost level 50

[vagrant turtle]

both negatives are natural, im trying to get naneif, is the only way to increase my score to get ectoplasms now? i literally cant get one to save my life

[shell dagger]

Multiply the ones listed by 4

On the wiki

[neat ore]

I just had a neat photo Chad, onyx agate and spair pants run!

[opal pine]

I really want to open this, but maybe I'm a bit too greedy

[fallow briar]

thank you

[fallow briar]

whats the top card? i forgot which one of the x mults that is

[opal pine]

pair

just look at the pictures

[fallow briar]

pair will get you through like 3 more blinds solo i think

[opal pine]

it's clearly two of the same card

[fallow briar]

my bad i forgot

[opal pine]

just barely got me through one blind

[fallow briar]

i would go for full houses

gets like 600 a hand

and i was being generous for 3

need to get lucky with full houses

[opal pine]

the joker doesn't help with full houses though?

[signal frigate]

What's your max score with this?

[signal frigate]

It does

[vagrant turtle]

yes it does

[signal frigate]

If a hand contains a pair, duo will activate

[idle haven]

e215

[signal frigate]

That's the most stacked Trib seed I've ever seen

[idle haven]

modded not trib

[signal frigate]

Pair spam should help with this, level up your pairs, grab a decent +mult and some decent chips

[signal frigate]

I knew that much, it's impossible to get that much joker slots without dying

[idle haven]

yurp

i wonder what seed lets u get the most joker slots before dying

[signal frigate]

Anything that allows you to get both a Perkeo and ectoplasm

Once you have those two conditions fulfilled, it's easier than you think

[idle haven]

and anti matter

on black deck

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vagrant turtle]

surely someone helps me with this, what do i do

[signal frigate]

Obligatory Daily Bloodstone hate spread

[signal frigate]

You're probably too late but there is a way

[opal pine]

luckily I also got a blue seal from the spectral pack, so I'm now continuously leveling my pair

[signal frigate]

How's your score for now?

[vagrant turtle]

e40

[signal frigate]

And good, Blue Seals are the strongest

[vagrant turtle]

with gold red seals

[signal frigate]

Is the blind catching up?

And do you have Retcon?

[vagrant turtle]

uh nah im still fine

ill be at ante 19 fine

[signal frigate]

Here's what you can do, save an unfathomable amount of money

And if you have Retcon, before ante 24, reroll bosses until you get serpent

[vagrant turtle]

i only have directors cut unfortunately

[signal frigate]

And for now, you're gonna wanna grab Bluestorm again, and try to get the Anti matter voucher or an ectoplasm if you can

[vagrant turtle]

ill survive longer im just screwed in a few antes even tho i have a nat negative showman and juggler

[signal frigate]

You've got time to get those, you can skip for voucher tags

[opal pine]

is rede the bus good?

[signal frigate]

One of the best

[vagrant turtle]

yeah that what im tryna to do

[signal frigate]

That's your goal for now then

Should be easy since it's Plasma

Just grab as much money as you can

[signal frigate]

And are you aware of the Mime tech?

[vagrant turtle]

holy i just rolled into the serpant and a voucher skip

what a seed

[signal frigate]

I don't think that's gonna be enough to Naneinf

But you'll pass the blind

[vagrant turtle]

ikik

thats what im hoping for

then an ecto and so on

[signal frigate]

And this

[vagrant turtle]

but probs not ik

[signal frigate]

You aware of this?

[vocal rose]

yep

[vagrant turtle]

yeah ofc

[vocal rose]

ride the bus is the third best mult scaler

[signal frigate]

Good

[deft panther]

What's the mime tech

[signal frigate]

More planets and money from gold and blue seals

As you score, you can move the mime to your copies

The score won't change until it's over so the mime will then activate but since you moved it, it's now being copied

[opal pine]

is cerrtificate good?

[deft panther]

Oh I see that's pretty clever

[signal frigate]

For stuff like purple and blue, also hologram but otherwise, it can bloat

[deft panther]

Its good for getting some seals into your deck

But don't let it stick around too long

[signal frigate]

Gold seals are actually better than red seals

Probably a hot take

[deft panther]

Treat it like a real certificate, get it, put it on display, benefit from it for as long as you can, then put it in a box and forget about it.

Oh the things I could be doing

[sleek shore]

Got to ante 11 jokerless

Observatory + glass + steel

And a level 40 flush

[vagrant turtle]

just got thru ante 21 and then got anti matter lmao, how am i still surviving

[signal frigate]

Baron on Plasma.

That's how

You're closing in on 24

[opal pine]

wraith or trance?

[sleek shore]

Ankh

[signal frigate]

You can't get ante 8 bosses on 24 and 32

[sleek shore]

Duplicate the egg

[signal frigate]

Trance probably

[wintry ice]

trance absolutely

[signal frigate]

Preferably on that queen

Because Shoot the moon MIGHT appear

[wintry ice]

blue seals are consistently powerful

[signal frigate]

They make shit cards reasonable to take because they have blue seals

[opal pine]

what kind of hand should I try striving for?

[vagrant turtle]

i got a second brainstorm, i should be double copying the baron right? as i have 1 blueprint and 2 brainstorms

[wintry ice]

with this sort of setup you can start building pairs or straights already

[signal frigate]

On paper, something you'd be comfortable with but anything that helps with your jokers

[signal frigate]

For score

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[vagrant turtle]

yes

[signal frigate]

I think so?

[vagrant turtle]

i mean ill go check

good old balatro calc

[signal frigate]

Less retriggers and more score, I think you do get one more baron

[signal frigate]

Helo

[opal pine]

should I sell the egg to get the voucher?

[signal frigate]

Probably not

[wintry ice]

what is egg at

[signal frigate]

But your egg is at 6 no?

[opal pine]

look at ante and round

[wintry ice]

if it was a high value i would have done that but no

[opal pine]

5

[fallow briar]

idk but i had unseeded 23 with a negative tag on anaglyph, negative eternal blueprint, perkeo, and brainstorm and i copied ankh 4 times to copy those 3 cuz they were eternal

[signal frigate]

Right, it starts at 2

[wintry ice]

reroll voucher isn't worth losing interest on

[signal frigate]

You could go for it

[signal frigate]

But what this guy said

[wintry ice]

is halu a consideration

[signal frigate]

Interest is more valuable but I'd also consider hallucination

[opal pine]

I suppose

[tiny canyon]

Gosh help me I keep trying to get any Gold Stake Nebula run going and nothing is working in desperation I did the terrible idea of skipping first blind to get a tarrot pack and it had nothing useful but I somehow survived the big blind and opened another tarrot pack AND IN PITY THE GAME GAVE ME SOUL!

||IT WAS FREAKING CHICOT||

[signal frigate]

Less money for something that'll help you later

[signal frigate]

If you can make your run work with only 4 jokers, Chicot is a blessing

Bossblinds get real nasty in gold stake

[wintry ice]

there is a steady stream of cash from trading card and it pairs well with egg

[signal frigate]

And tbh, you do only need 3 jokers at least to win a gold stake run

[wintry ice]

you usually shouldn't skip

[signal frigate]

Even in desperation unless it's a handy tag and it's ante 5

[wintry ice]

the only situation where you absolutely should is an ante 1 or 2 investment tag

[signal frigate]

Or 6

But yeah, almost never skip

99% of the time, you absolutely shouldn't skip

Losing out on hand money from a round can cut you later

[fallow briar]

can localthunk delete this bro already 😭

hate chicot

[signal frigate]

Can you git gud already?

[tiny canyon]

That run actually got semi far... but died due to the lack of mult sources.
I had to pick between Flash Card and Erosion. Since I was thinning for 3oak, I went Erosion.

I was only able to get rid of one card via glass because I never got anything else to remove cards

[signal frigate]

Chicot isn't bad

Trib is

[opal pine]

omg two that both seem good

[serene forge]

two types of people
people who think chicot is bad
people who are good

[tiny canyon]

I literally said in the message that skipping is a terrible idea (and then expressed in the message how I got nothing good from the tarrot pack I opened)

But I remember one guy insisted repeatedly it was the best play and the whole server rallied against him to explain why it wasnt

[tiny canyon]

Chicot isn't awful, but it it was the worst legendary I could've gotten to help my run.

[signal frigate]

I'll try to give some tips

Never neglect your hand levels
Seals are extremely powerful, especially purple and blue
Never skip (unless ante 1 investment tag then CONSIDER it)
Go for unorthodox builds that don't necessarily rely on synergy but on pure raw scoring potential

[wintry ice]

not valuing the consistency that chicot provides is a sign that you should re-evaluate how you approach the game

[tiny canyon]

I already know all of these 😭

[soft vapor]

True

[signal frigate]

But consider looking as to why you're losing despite doing them

[wintry ice]

well then

[signal frigate]

Is it money?

[tiny canyon]

It DID help me get through the early blinds, yes. But I wasn't able to get enough score to pass the later ones. Any other legendary (other than Perkeo but I guess I could've duped glass?) would've given me enough

[signal frigate]

Cuz I often see that gold stake runs are lost cuz of econ issues

[tiny canyon]

Oh yeah, that specific run? Definitely. I skipped in ante 1, ofc I had awful econ.

[signal frigate]

The ENTIRE ante?

[vale wharf]

Chat, is this shop good?

[fallow briar]

how bro his only useful thing is something very niche which is worse than all other legendary jokers imo

[signal frigate]

Who's idea was it to tell you to fucking skip?

[tiny canyon]

Just small blind for the tarrot pack

[fallow briar]

nah wheres the negatives

[wintry ice]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[signal frigate]

First of all, he reverses bosses

Second of all, refer to what @wintry ice said

[wintry ice]

naneinf isn't what the game is about

[tiny canyon]

I KNOW its a bad idea 😭
I was just frustrated and wanted to try my luck.

[wintry ice]

the core of it is ante 8

[fallow briar]

like 5 bosses

[signal frigate]

Compose yourself and try to take a break if you feel tilted

[wintry ice]

which has a ceiling of 2.4 million points

rendering jokers like idol and baron effectively useless

[signal frigate]

Bro you only need 3 to 4 jokers to win, again, the consistency it provides is supremely helpful in a game where the higher the difficulty, the more you want consistency

[tiny canyon]

yeah thats fair...
Maybe its also the 10 hours of tomas the tank engine theme without piano that somehow appeared in the automatically generated youtube playlist

[signal frigate]

Plus, 10 dollar Temperance

[signal frigate]

I can see why.

[wintry ice]

chicot fully replaces a second xmult joker that you'd often be forced to take because of violet vessel

[tiny canyon]

Its actually kinda good NGL.......

Wait what its not 10 hours

it plays once

WHY IS IT LOOPING???

[signal frigate]

Also this, I had 3 instances where this unironically happened and I was saying to myself

"I'm actually hoping for a chicot in this soul"

[tiny canyon]

WHEN DID I TURN ON LOOPING??

[wintry ice]

it also makes it so you have to spend less money to prepare for bosses because there are no boss blinds

[tiny canyon]

I think im losing it

[fallow briar]

okay respectfully i understand, but personally in my eyes im going for max score and i don't value consistency as much, so give me trib and perkeo all day i need the e304

[tiny canyon]

Here, so you can share my lack of sanity https://youtu.be/-lDJ__y3gyY?si=axpMG8q1_TTCOrrM

[signal frigate]

Trib is like the worst Legendary joker

I'm not even joking

[wintry ice]

well chicot is the second best legendary for endless

[tiny canyon]

Trib is the least adaptable one.

[fallow briar]

but then again i havent gone for completionist yet, so ill probably take chicot most of the time when i go for wins

[wintry ice]

because all viable builds in that mode are face card builds

[signal frigate]

Yorick and Canio BARELY ties for being the best

[fallow briar]

thats what i mostly play

its easiest for me to do

[tiny canyon]

I'd say Yorick, simply because sometimes you are unlucky and can't get the means to destroy face cards.

[signal frigate]

Giving you 1 entire xmult is pretty much almost an insta win

[tiny canyon]

though blue stake+ Yorick is a big nerf

Still better than old Yorick :/

[fallow briar]

but also idk why im being so stubborn i literally joined this server like 10 mins ago and ive been playing this game for barely any time 💀

[signal frigate]

That's why I said barely, Canio is still insanely strong but the fact that it can rely on RNG is what's holding it back from tying with Yorick

Yorick doesn't demand much

[wintry ice]

an effectively guarranteed 1.3x mult per ante is still ridiculous

[signal frigate]

He just sits there and make you win

[fallow briar]

just pray for all cards = face, ofc it isnt rng

[signal frigate]

I can see why

[wintry ice]

scaling xmult jokers are supposed to change how you play the game

[fallow briar]

can see why what

[signal frigate]

Pareidolia+Canio is definitely a dream combo

[tiny canyon]

I'm pretty sure every time I used Trib (and leaned into it) the build also turned into a Photochad build

[wintry ice]

and then yorick is there

[fallow briar]

yeah that one, yall pros memorized every joker name atp

[signal frigate]

I can see why we're not agreeing with your opinions

[signal frigate]

Look, this game is crack cocaine incarnate, you can't blame us

[tiny canyon]

Apparently this used to be balanced and only retrigged the card once.

[fallow briar]

wasnt clear that was what you were saying from first msg, thanks

[signal frigate]

I've done Completionist 3 fucking times but Steam says I only have 120 hours

[tiny canyon]

It is... quite literally the best retriggering joker in the game, and its a common.

[fallow briar]

i like dusk and face one

[signal frigate]

Sock and Buskin is surprisingly replaceable

[fallow briar]

but chad is busted on high card

[signal frigate]

Face Builds are pretty common but they're easily countered

[wintry ice]

chad's retriggers are a delicate value to balance

[signal frigate]

It's busted on any hand, it's primary use is utility

[wintry ice]

1 is too little and 2 is too much

[signal frigate]

Lucky cards and gold seals get a shitton of value from Chad

[tiny canyon]

Dusk at max can only ever trigger 5 cards.
Sock and busk / Hack require certain ranks

Hanging chad?
Works on ANY card, and on EVERY hand.

[wintry ice]

the fact it's so versitile is what makes it insane

[dark cairn]

sees obelisk in ante 2
tries to play around it
dies
what else is new

[tiny canyon]

In some times its strictly better. If you have a singular gold card, its better to have chad than seltzer because you'll get more value out of it

[wintry ice]

photo is only like an 8th of it

[opal pine]

1.5

[signal frigate]

I've been trying to make that piece of shit work

I'm just bad at the game

[tiny canyon]

You need to play at least 3 cards that have a special affect worth retriggering to beat out hanging chad in a single hand.

[fallow briar]

yeah but doesnt playing like 5 of the same hand only give x5? a dusk can trigger an idol or trib for 2^a lot of mult

[wintry ice]

you usually don't activate it that early

[signal frigate]

Even then, it's one of those jokers that makes you almost ALWAYS take it

[tiny canyon]

I know that this is by no means a good benchmark, but the multiplayer mod had to nerft it.
TWICE.

[signal frigate]

We don't consider Idol in this equation

[wintry ice]

trib is a legendary and idol is basically never going to be set up before ante 8

[signal frigate]

Dusk, you gotta make a risk

[fallow briar]

y not

[signal frigate]

Chad just doesn't care

[signal frigate]

It's a shit joker

[fallow briar]

y

[signal frigate]

I don't wanna fuckin die because it chose that one ace of diamonds out of my 45 2 of hearts

[wintry ice]

it's a joker that does nothing unless you'd have won anyways

[fallow briar]

just build a deck of all same cards

[wintry ice]

so how is idol helping

[tiny canyon]

Those are specific builds though. They are hyperspecialized and require a ton of setup.

Hanging chad?
Get it for cheap early on, and just and play all your lucky cards individually for free econ

[signal frigate]

That's a fuckin problem when you're doing high stakes

[wintry ice]

if you can make a deck full of 1 rank and suit

you'd win regardless

[tiny canyon]

That's really only possible in endless mode.

[signal frigate]

We stop at ante 8 here

[fallow briar]

ok im sorry 😭 ive just been doing it and not having too much trouble with it

[signal frigate]

Endless doesn't matter

Balatro isn't balanced around Endless which should be obvious

[fallow briar]

which is what i go for, so sorry my opinions different, im quite new

[signal frigate]

You're fine, we do sound aggressive here

[fallow briar]

nah i face this like eevery time i join a new discord server

[signal frigate]

Well you're not the only one

[tiny canyon]

Idol has its uses in non-endless, but its pretty inconsistent. Its usually a last minute addition to guantee a victory when its already selected the card you wanted in the ante 8 shop

[fallow briar]

arguing is fun anyways

sometimes

[signal frigate]

And the ONE time I thanked Idol is when playing against a friend in Multiplayer Mod

[fallow briar]

sadly i have the xbox pc pass version so i cant mod balatro

[signal frigate]

And unironically, that piece of shit was my last joker in my 2nd C++ profile, I hated it more ever since

[signal frigate]

I hate the fact that it's uncommon

But it's fuel for BBC

[tiny canyon]

Honestly, the cards Chad selects should be random. "Retrigger the (n1)th and (n2)th scored cards in a hand"

[signal frigate]

That's one thing that passes for a "take"

[signal frigate]

That could work ngl

[wintry ice]

2 player endless mode

[signal frigate]

Wouldn't that be impossible since you only have a certain amount of lives?

[tiny canyon]

game pass is annoying like that. I had a friend who wanted to play on a modpack with a server with me and some others, but he couldn't use any non-official launcher because he countn't log in via gamepass

[signal frigate]

I used to intentionally die just to get that extra money from losing a life

It won me many runs against my friends

[tiny canyon]

Or take the multiplayer route, and just do the 1st and 2nd card.

That still encourages pair builds though, which imo is a bad thing.

[fallow briar]

the 3/5ths compromise ah joker

[signal frigate]

Pairs being really fuckin good is an issue I didn't really think about

[tiny canyon]

Is it still a hot take to say that Pluto should only give you chips and Mercury only mult?

[signal frigate]

Actually better than just changing it's rarity which is for some reason a popular suggestion

[wintry ice]

i was making a joke about how that's basically what multi is

[signal frigate]

Then why do they need to exist? That would make every hand terrible

[signal frigate]

Actually yeah you right

[tiny canyon]

changing the rarity isn't an awful idea, for being so strong its too common.
IMO it needs a price increase instead

[fallow briar]

the 3/5ths compromise was a law that made slaves count as 3/5ths of a person, in case i had to explain

[signal frigate]

But if it's uncommon, you're just making it even more takeable because Baseball card exists

[opal pine]

well technically it doesn't really scale that well, but flushes scale even more shitily so... but honestly planet scaling is probably only a concern in endless

[signal frigate]

And if it's rare, sure it might fit but it's still Hanging Chad.

What else changed?

[tiny canyon]

easier to get hands should be be harder to build around since they are... well, easier.

Jokers can give chips and mult, so IMO I think this can help prevent senseless and easy HC/Pair maxing

[fallow briar]

ive been loving this game, what can we expect from the next update?

[tiny canyon]

Baseball card isnt a strong reason not to do it. I think if it was like... 7 dollars as a common that could half fix it

[fallow briar]

7 dollars as a common is diabolical

[tiny canyon]

More jokers and spectrals. Nothing much else is confirmed IMO.

[signal frigate]

Like, 2 to 3 jokers maybe, a rework to a forgettable econ joker, rework to blue stake which thank God I don't have to suffer in Black Deck anymore

[signal frigate]

Spectrals?

Did thunk ever said something about a new spectral?

But also, one of my favorite and honestly underappreciated enhancement is getting some love

[tiny canyon]

Yeah.

But its also one of the best cards in the game.

I did an image search for peoples highest winning cards and chad is ALWAYS on top

[signal frigate]

Wild Cards should definitely be buffed

I love wild cards

[tiny canyon]

I think so, in #thunkchat before it died

[opal pine]

even more jokers?! how difficult do they want to make getting a specific build

[tiny canyon]

Oh thats confirmed too

[tiny canyon]

Improvisation!

[signal frigate]

Yeah, he was not subtle about it

[fallow briar]

i like black deck

[tiny canyon]

Oh, blue stake rework too

[signal frigate]

It's not that hard to form a build

[fallow briar]

new decks?

[signal frigate]

You're gonna hate it once you start climbing to Gold Stake.

[tiny canyon]

Probably confirmed??? I can't verify rn, but its super likely

[signal frigate]

15 is probably enough, I don't think C++ people are gonna be pleased if he keeps adding more shit

[tiny canyon]

No new tarrots though, for... obvious reason

[fallow briar]

its my 3rd gold stake ive done (also most recent)

[signal frigate]

Also, based LocalThunk for actually getting C++ on his OWN game

And saying it gave him an insight on what to do for the balance of the game

[fallow briar]

guys is my start good

[signal frigate]

This upsets me

[fallow briar]

that sounds promising

[fallow briar]

is it the black deck

or are you sulking over your lack of luck

[tiny canyon]

You shouldn't have skipped, it was the worst play possible.

ON THE OTHER HAND, you got stupid lucky, so uh, yeah it is a good stop

[signal frigate]

The fact that you skipped and it actually paid off.

[obsidian patrol]

No

[signal frigate]

That is a 1/145 chance to happen

[fallow briar]

if i have rare tag in first ante i always skip, cuz who cares i can just start a new run if i get shit

[tiny canyon]

It does sometimes. You just have to know that its not likely. Every 5 or so runs I skip at the start just for fun, because... well, it can be fun

[signal frigate]

You got really lucky, if that was gold stake, that could've been a perishable

[tiny canyon]

Its a good start literally, but it was a poor play.

[vagrant turtle]

im still alive again, ive hit palette, petroglyph and an ecto lol, scoring 20e above the blind

[signal frigate]

That's a bad mindset imo

[tiny canyon]

What if I just... stop playing, and let you guys choose everything for me?

[signal frigate]

You're not necessarily gonna learn if you just intentionally reset

And make risky plays

At the wrong time

[fallow briar]

stop i came here to gamble not be consistent

go big or go home

[signal frigate]

How much mons ya got?

[tiny canyon]

Alright guys, what do I do 😄

[fallow briar]

🤠

[tiny canyon]

Do I take the skip?

🤠

[fallow briar]

S K I P !!

[signal frigate]

I can respect that but I am still upset.

[fallow briar]

:3

[vagrant turtle]

money? 1300$ and im on ante 24 but i still dont have recon

[signal frigate]

Go for a diamonds build

[vagrant turtle]

tuff

[signal frigate]

You can maybe start exhausting the voucher pool

[fallow briar]

if you get a blueprint you have to kiss my feet

[signal frigate]

Just to find that goddamn retcon

[vagrant turtle]

ye

im nearly there
