[void topaz]

im assuming the worst

[proper turtle]

something something led to a sort of successful fullhouse build, nat neg riffraff is goated

ggs

[jolly relic]

i cant find a mime 💔😔

[analog mulch]

W.

[jolly relic]

YAY i found a mime

so like how do i copy with blueprint

for baron mime

[latent egret]

if you go equal copies youll be good

it might be slightly unoptimal

[jolly relic]

i have 3 blueprints

[latent egret]

red seals ? steel ?

[jolly relic]

yes

[latent egret]

one less mime then

[jolly relic]

thsnkyou

[latent egret]

1 copy mimie 2 copy baron

[jolly relic]

is thst for the most score

[latent egret]

yes

if you dont have any gold there is no need to rearrange

[jolly relic]

i have some gold

[proper turtle]

then right after you play the hand, rearrange the mime in place of baron for max retrigger on the golds

why tf is green deck so bad, its the only deck I've not beaten purple on, rest all of my decks are gold/orange beaten

[left juniper]

because money is important

[past locust]

Elite pull but no money

I'm cooked

No mults

[pale wolf]

bones lives

[wintry igloo]

what to sell here or is it worth it?

yorick prob right?

but it's at x19 tho

[past locust]

Okay, now the Eternal Chad is very tempting🤔

[shell dagger]

trib is a 1024x

[void topaz]

would you rather

like x1020283244 or 19

[void topaz]

chad too so its 4096

[wintry igloo]

yeah I guess that was right thanks guys

bumped up to e17 to e19

[vital pasture]

hey guys

do yall have any basic tips for runs

got to ante 5 on my first run before losing on the boss blind

i was 1k short

[proper turtle]

any screenshots or anything specific you want to know

what was your lineup, what were you playing

[latent egret]

what made you lose

did you not find your hand

[vital pasture]

i couldnt find a hand to play

i was getting unlucky

[vital pasture]

couldnt remember ;-;

[latent egret]

on white stake you can always play straights

[vital pasture]

there wasnt any available straights

[latent egret]

but smaller hands are better

[wintry igloo]

sold the other yorick for an invis let's see how this goes

[latent egret]

with 3 discards and 4 hands the odds of missing is very low

like 1% low

try to force smaller hands

[vital pasture]

ig im just that unlcuky holy shit

got it

[latent egret]

jokers that increase by hands played are good

like square

ride the bus

green joker

[vital pasture]

oh i got ride the bus joker last run

carried pretty well

[latent egret]

if you see that you win rounds by a lot try to generate more value

[vital pasture]

got it

[latent egret]

and focus on only one hand

[tight pike]

I also beat blue stake

Don't know how the fuck I pulled that off but

[vital pasture]

lowk i was a bit anxious to get into this game

[jolly relic]

YAY THERES SERPENT IM GONNA BEAT MY SCORE

[vital pasture]

im rly only used to roguelites or roguelikes where u fight off enemies

like tboi

[jolly relic]

woah wtf its already e72..

so i already beat it

[vital pasture]

this game is peak tho

[void topaz]

tarot cards like hung man and death help wit hthat

makes your hand easier to get

[vital pasture]

oh thank you

ill keep that in mind

[void topaz]

planet cards are good you should propably use them

[signal frigate]

The first random mobile run of the day and I get this

[void topaz]

i have yet to have a good idol build

SIX

[signal frigate]

This was meant to be a Bloodstone build

It kind of just

Turned into idol

[void topaz]

bro idol is so washed

[signal frigate]

Can't you tell?

[void topaz]

4 scoring guys 4 retrigger guys

and your getting e44

4 barons 4 mimes

[vital pasture]

WHAT THE FUCK

[void topaz]

your in like the e80's

[signal frigate]

Welcome to Balatro my friend, I can tell you're new.

[void topaz]

someone get idol on fraud watch

i was on a school trip and got e60 with like 3 barons and 3 mimes or someshit

[vital pasture]

yeah clearly because holy shit

[signal frigate]

You don't get it at all, Mime and Baron has like more than 5 cards scoring for you

[vale wharf]

Chat, what tier is obelisk?

[signal frigate]

S tier

[manic talon]

its been on fraud watch

[void topaz]

i mean yeah

[manic talon]

High A low S

[signal frigate]

Idol has only 5 cards retriggering for it

[jolly relic]

does this win even if i dont copy baron and mime

[signal frigate]

So it makes sense

[void topaz]

yeah and thats a restriciton of idol

[void topaz]

you can calc it

[signal frigate]

I'd probably do it just in case

[jolly relic]

how

[void topaz]

balatro calculator

the website

[manic talon]

calc is short for calculator btw

[void topaz]

real

[unreal iron]

GO FASTER FFS

[signal frigate]

I do hope you enjoy the game to the point of reaching this level

[signal frigate]

My phone is slow, that's not my settings

[vital pasture]

well i did rly get into tboi so getting into this game wont be hard i think

[signal frigate]

It's just that laggy

[void topaz]

every white stake run is able to get into e's im pretty sure

here wait lemme try it

[unreal iron]

well theres no shooting involved here

[signal frigate]

Then you have a good point of reference because Isaac is genuinely insanity incarnate

[unreal iron]

its moreso strategy over anything else

[signal frigate]

But the late game is similar in a sense that you just break the fucking game

[vital pasture]

i know

[void topaz]

should i do ghost or plasma

[signal frigate]

Every Isaac game just ends with you pressing one fuckin button or not moving at all and everything dies including the final boss

[unreal iron]

who cares about late game

[void topaz]

which will be easier to e all over the place

[void topaz]

us dawg thats what were talking about

mf can not read

[signal frigate]

You'd love Isaac Endgame

[void topaz]

get bro some glasses

[vital pasture]

i LOVE endgame isaac

[signal frigate]

Plasma

[unreal iron]

shut up

do plasma tho if you want endgame

its easier to get higher scores

[void topaz]

lets see if i can chip to mult correctly

[vital pasture]

id talk about this one run i got but i prolly have to go to another channel to talk abt it

[signal frigate]

I had my first taste of it with some help of a friend

It feels euphoric seeing your screen and not knowing what the fuck killed the boss you were fighting

[vital pasture]

yeah lmao

[signal frigate]

Eh, the mods don't even care

[vital pasture]

oh cool

[unreal iron]

on an unrelated note

[signal frigate]

They joined in on our off topic Convo once

[void topaz]

also theres like no one else here your distrubing

its just us 4

[vital pasture]

also i cant rly remember the run but all u gotta know is that i got brim and r key

[unreal iron]

first time killing mithrix yesterday

[void topaz]

what yall know about supe auto pets

[vital pasture]

i know it exists but i never bothered playing it

idk why

[unreal iron]

kind of a bummer that i couldnt find focus crystal or crowbar stacks but it was alright

[signal frigate]

I wanted to REALLY get into this game but I couldn't

Cuz my laptop is ass

[unreal iron]

whenthe no useful printers

[vital pasture]

OMG SAME

but not for ur reason

[unreal iron]

i have really decent specs and it lags after a loopback

[vital pasture]

id love to get into ror2 tho

[signal frigate]

But yeah, there's one thing in common for these games

[tight pike]

Wtf

[signal frigate]

They love big numbers.

[unreal iron]

ohhhh my pc

[signal frigate]

This is actually my highscore when I'm not trying to Gold Stake

[tight pike]

ANTE 21!?

My highscore is ante 12

[signal frigate]

On Ghost Deck

Which is really funny to me

[vital pasture]

yall wanna know something funny

[unreal iron]

i think i got like e88 trying to do a baron mime run

plasma

[tight pike]

Nah ghost deck is like an s tier deck aint it?

[signal frigate]

Other decks could barely keep up here, this Seed is insane

[signal frigate]

My seeded attempt was like e221

[unreal iron]

unseeded

[vital pasture]

i got into this game literally because of a mod for pizza tower thats heavily inspired by balatro

[signal frigate]

Oh yeah, that exists

I literally just found that the other day

[vital pasture]

holy peak

[unreal iron]

okay correct me if im wrong but like

[vital pasture]

i love how they are changing the gameplay of it from hades to balatro

[unreal iron]

isnt pizza tower dead basically?

ive seen the hype

[vital pasture]

yeah

[jolly relic]

tysm

[tight pike]

I got into this game because I have been playing poker since I was 6 years old

[vital pasture]

super mega dead

[unreal iron]

but nothing else after that

[vital pasture]

they are making another game tho

[void topaz]

np

[signal frigate]

It makes sense cuz it's a one and done game

[jolly relic]

e150 😭😭😭

[signal frigate]

It ain't meant to stay their welcome

[signal frigate]

That is not even close to Infinity

[unreal iron]

even then "one and done games" like undertale still have an absolutely massive fanbase

[tight pike]

It's like e*2+8

[jolly relic]

i was just trying to beat my best hand

[unreal iron]

pizza tower just, fell off?

[signal frigate]

You ran outta money for another Serpent rolling

[tight pike]

E308 right?

[jolly relic]

i didnt even roll for it

[unreal iron]

yerp

[jolly relic]

it was just there

i dont even have the voucher

[tight pike]

Ghost deck is probably my favorite deck out there

[vital pasture]

due to lack of updates, yeah

[signal frigate]

That's because the game surrounding it is interactive as hell, when I say "One and done", I meant the devs just

Abandoned it.

[vital pasture]

its an amazing game tho it holds a huge place in my heart

[signal frigate]

Undertale keeps a huge fanbase cuz it's still receiving a ton of love

[unreal iron]

i mean your pfp literally gives off pizza tower

[tight pike]

Toby basically does that for 5 months and then starts working on it

[vital pasture]

i got most of my artstyle from pizza tower

[signal frigate]

And Toby Fox is just a goddamn troll

[tight pike]

You can tell he is neurodivergent

[signal frigate]

He knows how to rile his audience up

[unreal iron]

i love tv

[vital pasture]

WE love tv

[tight pike]

Unlike yandere dev who doesn't do shit to his game and manages to get himself into a drake situation

[signal frigate]

He's special in his own way

Not in a good way.

But definitely special

[tight pike]

Yandere Simulator has a lot of potential, I hope a studio just buys the rights and actually adds shit to the game

[vital pasture]

yall wanna know what i hate?

[signal frigate]

Then there's Fear and Hunger devs who genuinely wanna kill their players

And the community likes that they do that

[tight pike]

Hate, let me tell you how much I have come to hate

[vital pasture]

am from i have no mouth and i must scream (i totally butchered that title)

also i hate being an asym game fan

[signal frigate]

Nah, that shit can stay in the fuckin shelf, someone needs to make their own independent game based around it instead

[vital pasture]

im not talking about dbd but im talking about some roblox asyms

[tight pike]

And there is Bandai who literally CAN'T kill their own games

[vital pasture]

like outcome memories and die of death

[signal frigate]

I haven't played Roblox in so long, I only play Decaying Winter nowadays

[unreal iron]

do stm and ttm have a secret relationship going?

[signal frigate]

Haven't played in a literal year though

[unreal iron]

after the baron breakup stm wasnt the same

[vital pasture]

i dont rly like decaying winter 😔

[tight pike]

I play Pressure

[signal frigate]

Shoot the Moon and which one's that again?

[vital pasture]

huge fan of grave/digger tho

[unreal iron]

to the moon

extra interest money

[signal frigate]

I understand, it's not for everyone but it's a very "me" game, like, it's genuinely made for me

[signal frigate]

No, they just have a similarity to their names

[vital pasture]

oh yeah i totally get that

WOAH WAIT U LIKE RAIN WORLD!?

holy shit

fire

[unreal iron]

is it made out of rain

ive seen it mentioned in a few places

[jolly relic]

is this better than troubadour

[unreal iron]

what even is it about

[unreal iron]

copy some barons

[vital pasture]

survival metroidvania where ur in a cruel ecosystem where everything wants you dead

[tight pike]

Yes

[signal frigate]

Bro I have an edit of that game

[signal frigate]

You're a tiny slugcat thing that's just food to every fuckin living being around you

[unreal iron]

i dont think ive ever played a metroid style game

[signal frigate]

Also gameplay and edit made by yours truly

[tight pike]

I don't even have brainstorm unlocked, I keep forgetting to discard a royal flush

[jolly relic]

do all my copies go on baron now ? or

[vital pasture]

i love this so much we need to be friends NOW (lowtiergod ref)

[manic talon]

just spend some session in Checkered deck Hold R purgatory (it wont even take that long)

[unreal iron]

if you buy brainstorm you want 4 barons 2 mimes

assuming all red seal steel?

im not sure

[tight pike]

Eh I got royal flushes often but I genuintly just keep forgetting to

[unreal iron]

you need more barons than mimes usually

just run the calc

[jolly relic]

yes

[vital pasture]

id send u my friendcode in dms if u want

[signal frigate]

I completed like, half the Downpour characters and I am currently stuck in fucking Sky Islands as the fatass

I can't get out.

[vital pasture]

im stuck on spearmasters campaign

[signal frigate]

Fucking King Vultures

[manic talon]

yea sure but you can also just go on a sidequest for a few minutes and then you can forget about it

[tight pike]

Even this is more useful than red card

[unreal iron]

red card slander shall not be tolerated

[signal frigate]

O k a y

[unreal iron]

burn this man at stake

[tight pike]

USE FULLSCREEN DAMN IT

[signal frigate]

It won't take a screenshot of the game if I do that

[jade arch]

This shouldn't have worked, but alas, it did

[unreal iron]

is your keyboard fucking stupid

or windows

[signal frigate]

Windows probably is

[unreal iron]

i know windows all too well its so ass

[signal frigate]

I've tried like all the ways to screenshot

It just takes a screenshot of my fuckin wallpaper for some reason

If I'm on full screen

[tight pike]

Shift + Windows + S?

[signal frigate]

Yes.

If I do that, it takes a small chunk of my wallpaper instead

[unreal iron]

can i be annoying and say switch to a light linux distro

[tight pike]

Also I will slander red card

[signal frigate]

I'm thinking about it

[tight pike]

It always appears instead of the good red joker

[tight pike]

(Madness)

[unreal iron]

if you have absolutely nothing important on there do it literally this second

[jolly relic]

is card sharp doing much for me?

[unreal iron]

i didnt even hesitate to do mine i lost all of my clips everything

[signal frigate]

My steam account which I've completely forgotten my password for

I do have it on my phone so I'm fine at least

[unreal iron]

if you have steam guard you dont even have to worry about it you just scan a qr code lmao

make sure if you do have something you want save it to a usb

but really other than that i dont see a reason why not to go to linux

[signal frigate]

My laptop's already fuckin ass so

It's barely hanging on at this point

[unreal iron]

yeah usually linux helps a bit

[signal frigate]

Good enough to run Hollow Knight though

[unreal iron]

like

you can get rid of a lot of bloat with something light

[wintry igloo]

idk where we are going

[nova junco]

Reminds me of my first e run

Trib is probably the most straightforward way to get there tbf

[wintry igloo]

would I die here if I got that invis

what a crazy run dude this is like 4th invis

[wintry igloo]

yeah probably

[shell dagger]

what would invis copy that would be better than what u have rn

[proper turtle]

ante 8 chicot just before the boss is so funny

[wintry igloo]

yeah you're right

nothing really matters except negatives I guess

good negatives*

[gloomy swallow]

Gold staked 3 more jokers in the first match of today hopy

[signal frigate]

Man, I'm mad you Staked Idol earlier

[wintry igloo]

speaking for here, normal red seal king is better than a poly king right?

[signal frigate]

How about poly red seal king?

[wintry igloo]

I was waiting my death to that but couldn't find neither red seal nor the poly for that so I'll just death something here

[plucky silo]

balarto

:p

[wintry igloo]

balaro

[prisma egret]

balala

[signal frigate]

Bla

[vague sequoia]

Copying wrong :(
(Unless you have red seals)

[void topaz]

I DIDNT HIT MY 12 / 48 KING OF HEARTS ONCE IN THE WHOLE RUN

idol please lock in

i just wanna get e's

this was meant to be a quick thing to show getting e on white stake isnt hard lol

[signal frigate]

It's fucking white stake, it was never meant to be hard

I passed both Plant and Head and I didn't have to do anything to survive those boss blinds in my recent run

[void topaz]

yeah im just getting unlucky

[signal frigate]

Note to self, get yourself a self sustaining Tarot generator

[void topaz]

i couldve won all of these runs i was just trying to get e as fast as possible lmao

[wintry igloo]

how's the right one? 2 for trib and 2 for sock?

[void topaz]

i had like 15 kings and a 46 card deck bruh how is idol so ass at hitting

[vague sequoia]

Do you have red seals

[signal frigate]

You answered your fucking question

You have barely any deckfixing

[void topaz]

bro thats like a 1/4

[vague sequoia]

,calc 14/56

[signal frigate]

Then Hang them cards

Get a hallucination

[vague sequoia]

MODS ADD CALCULATOR BOT OMMMMGGGG

[wintry igloo]

yeah but no polys

[signal frigate]

The problem is, you're committing to it too early

[wintry igloo]

I mean I have polys but not the red sealed ones

[vague sequoia]

Uhhh what mod can I ping

Egg seems chill

[signal frigate]

No.

[void topaz]

YEAH I KNOW

IM TRYING TO GET E FAST

[signal frigate]

Then take it slow

Cull your cards first

Get econ up

[vague sequoia]

@tall gulch can you add calculator bot so it’s easier to calculate optimal orders and probabilities 😋

[paper echo]

dont ask what im doing on balatro mod manager for 14 hours

[void topaz]

br

the point is

im trying to get it before endless

[signal frigate]

An easier way is just doing Photochad but okay

You chose the literal hardest way to do that

[void topaz]

i didnt find photo somehow lol

[signal frigate]

Idol is absolute ass in Ante 8 runs

[void topaz]

yeah its inconsistent

i got to ante 8 boss like i wouldve won but thats not my goal

[signal frigate]

That's why it's only good in Endless where your deck should probably be fixed to only one card

[vague sequoia]

Diamond stake should be “every joker can have a 30% chance to be rental/perishable/eternal”

(Including judgements)

[tranquil steppe]

*any run

[void topaz]

but yeah how is photochad getting e bruh

[vague sequoia]

And wraiths

And soul cards

[signal frigate]

Glass and copies

It's actually quite easy

[void topaz]

ok yeah i guess if i get blueprint and shit itd work

[signal frigate]

Well, if you're counting on luck by getting bluestorm

[vague sequoia]

Waaayyyyy easier than you think

[wintry igloo]

this is bye-bye for me

[vague sequoia]

I get e15 every other photochad run

[signal frigate]

I always jumpscare my friends in multiplayer Balatro by hitting E's on Photochad

[vague sequoia]

What joker is “friends”

[wintry igloo]

@vague sequoiawhat would be the order for red seal kings? 2/2 for trib and sock?

[signal frigate]

1 whole multiplier for every "Friends" you have

[signal frigate]

Even it out

If you have more Retriggers than score, copy your score

But generally, if you have an even distribution of both

[wintry igloo]

oh cool thanks

[vague sequoia]

Maximise the product of scores and retriggers

[signal frigate]

Do it like this

[signal frigate]

4 retriggers, 4 score @wintry igloo

[vague sequoia]

Which happens when you get equal scores and retriggers but it may change on photochad

[wintry igloo]

it was fun

thanks y'all for help

[void topaz]

ok chad didnt show up but i had everything set up that run to get e's

had the glass had the photo lots of money from golden ticket

ante 8 boss with no retriggers

[vague sequoia]

Ante 18

Lemme check my ante highscore

[gloomy swallow]

If you do gold stake I think you should start considering taking early skips on the first blind more often

[void topaz]

invetment tag be like

[void topaz]

what was it like particle accelarator

[vague sequoia]

I wish

It was just baron mime

[hardy moss]

So here’s one for you, isn’t obelisk on checkered deck basically pointless seen as how the objective is purely flushes by default

[void topaz]

damn thats pretty high for just baron mime

[vague sequoia]

I forgot to mention cryptids

😛

[void topaz]

oh well yeah

that would do it

[gloomy swallow]

I know of people who take rares and investment tags but I really think people should also be taking polychrome tags and free shop tags (whatever they are called)

hell even tarot skips too

of course this should only be for the first blind of the game lol

[vague sequoia]

That would naneinf but I wasn’t able to find a single fuckijg blueprint

FIFTY FIVE ROUNDS WITHOUT A BP

[latent egret]

nah

[shut escarp]

would you guys buy reroll?

[latent egret]

the value in seeing a shop is better than anything but investment

[latent egret]

nope

[shut escarp]

so just next

[latent egret]

it will set you back 2-4 rounds of interest

yes

[shut escarp]

okk thanks

how about this, would you buy hand for extra money

and buy gros michel for unlock

hmmm or maybe just buy voucher

to keep the interest going?

[wintry igloo]

I'm not very good at the game but I think I rather buying just the hand to scale the green joker

[tranquil steppe]

Hand every time

[shut escarp]

hmmmm i see

okayy

[proper bronze]

i haven't played baltaro in a while

[tranquil steppe]

1 extra hand is 5 extra cards you can discard, 1 more round of scoring you can get, and $1 more

[lunar zealot]

you love to see it

[tranquil steppe]

He’s great on plasma

[exotic egret]

all chips jokers suck

only on plasma they are somewhat useful

[lunar zealot]

that's bait

[exotic egret]

but after 4 ante you start to switch them to mult

[exotic egret]

baseball card huh

good joker

sucks that most uncommon jokers are either xmult or utility

like pareidolia

[lunar zealot]

baseball makes most uncommons good by virtue of being uncommon

[tranquil steppe]

It depends. The scaling ones at least are more useful.

[tender hill]

why is the music so damn good

[tender hill]

youre making a grave mistake friend

[tardy spade]

in endless builds is it better to get a mime or baron first?

[tender hill]

Depends on the build

[tardy spade]

wdym

[tender hill]

the build

Of your deck

[tardy spade]

say you find mime and baron in the first shop but can only afford 1

which one do you pick

I'd pick mime since it does a bit more early game than baron

[tender hill]

Depends on what i have

[tardy spade]

FIRST SHOP

you have nothing

[tender hill]

if i am planning to have a ton of enhanced cards

[tardy spade]

except about $7-8

[tender hill]

then ill take mime bro

if im planning to have a lot of kings

Then take baron

[last bolt]

I got three decks left to do on orange and four on gold

| | |

[tardy spade]

for an endless build, being a baron-mime high card spamming thing

[last bolt]

help me

[tardy spade]

you're going to end up getting both baron and mime at some point

it's just which is better to have first is the question

[tranquil steppe]

Yea you need those bootstraps

[tender hill]

Idfk

Choose whichever is best rn

[tardy spade]

which is? I gave you all the context of the situation

[placid cave]

Guys, is investment tag ante 1 on yellow deck still worth it?

[tender hill]

IDK

[soft vapor]

I got 2 fools before that btw

The longest emperor fool chain I've ever experienced

Can't wait to get fortune teller

WHATTBHE

????????

WHAT

WHY DOES BLACK HOLE ALWAYS LIKE ME

[tardy spade]

I feel like black hole could just be a normal spectral card (as well as appearing in celestial packs) and it would be fine

[soft vapor]

I get black hole more than soul

And I don't even open celestial packs all that much

[tardy spade]

black hole is just as common as soul

[last bolt]

[brave goblet]

do you really want a shitty chips jonker purely for the polychrome

[shut escarp]

end of my play

thanks guys will keep learning

[terse vale]

guten morgen

[tranquil steppe]

Hello

[shadow spruce]

give it up for the 500th bloodstone run of the day

[void topaz]

finally e before endless lol

took my long enough damn

[shell dagger]

e

[tranquil steppe]

We love bloodstone

[jagged valve]

This choice reminds me of my autism

[jagged valve]

Yorilatro

[hardy fable]

don't remember the flush jokers were sad

[floral mural]

its because theyre with bloodstone

id be sad too

[hardy fable]

make sense

[void topaz]

i always thought it was drool

[shadow spruce]

hm

could either be headed or planted here

[void topaz]

just find uhhh

[shadow spruce]

but fuck it

[void topaz]

director cut

[shadow spruce]

cool

[gloomy swallow]

Not when you only have 7 dollars to spend

[void topaz]

ok well now you win

[latent egret]

yes even if you have only 7 dollars

many commons are run winning

it also sets you back an extra round of interest

[gloomy swallow]

polychrome can also be very useful

free shops can be very useful to gather money and build deck

U never know till u try it bro

[latent egret]

perishable rental satellite :

[latent egret]

free shops dont matter if you only get ass

[void topaz]

can egg be rental

[gloomy swallow]

rental might ruin it a bit but if it isn't rental a free polychrome is still a very helpful thing

[gloomy swallow]

yes

[latent egret]

its decent before orange stake

but after that every joker/shop skip becomes almost useless

[shadow spruce]

yippie ki yay these two have gold stickers now

wrong screenshot

[gloomy swallow]

Lul

[shadow spruce]

as i was saying

[latent egret]

but if you win the 50/50 of it not being a rental on eternal ass joker you get a chance of …

[gloomy swallow]

Lul

[latent egret]

its just not worth it

unless you spam r anyways

[gloomy swallow]

I hit an eternal hallucination with it today

hallucination is pretty good

[soft vapor]

Sadlatro

[latent egret]

hallucination is useless until you have enough money to buy packs

[void topaz]

someone give me a challenge t odo

[shadow spruce]

Sock & Sock

[willow frost]

why are they sad lmao

[shadow spruce]

texture pack i made for my own amusement

[cyan rain]

the rich

[void topaz]

maybe greed isnt always the answer

[soft vapor]

Yayyyy yellow deck win

Ignore my jokers

[void topaz]

bloodstone with negative chad and your scoring 241k

whats going on here

[soft vapor]

Cerulean bell

[void topaz]

hmm

[soft vapor]

Got a bad card so I made the best of it

[void topaz]

bro i just had 4 spades and 4 diamonds right

went for the spade flush

drew a total of 10 diamonds

whats happening

[shadow spruce]

damnit why couldn't i have gotten you when i needed the sticker

curse you eternal crafty joker

[red thistle]

Why's green joker sad.

[shadow spruce]

.

[latent egret]

just keep it until the end

unless youre in ante 9

[shadow spruce]

it was a post-win shop yeah

[latent egret]

tc is easy to sticker

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[latent egret]

its one of the only eternal rentals you will always take

[shadow spruce]

it's a great joker problem is it rarely shows up in shops

uncommons are hard to come by when you're looking for a specific one

[brave goblet]

don't you mean uncommonly shows up in shops

[shadow spruce]

true

[brave goblet]

[placid cave]

yo

[tardy spade]

which is why you don't look for specific jokers

[tardy spade]

what's it gonna copy?

[placid cave]

you're the pro here, tell me

[tardy spade]

nothing

[lunar zealot]

i love you bbc

[shadow spruce]

i'm trying to get c++ looking for specific jokers (the ones without stickers) is kind of the entire point

[tardy spade]

ohhh

that makes sense

[brave goblet]

simple, just have lots of money

(don't forget to pay the rent)

[placid cave]

hmmm

[tardy spade]

with what kings?

[serene forge]

RNG RANT. More like “rigged” number generator amirite??

I don’t care anymore. As soon as I make the unconscionably stupid decision to go bloodstone build, I see the evil grin on Jimbos face widen. 24 hearts in a 50 card deck. I’ve got cash flow, I’ve got deck sorting. I’m SET UP. Is it even mathematically possible to not draw a flush until my last hand? Then WITH A CHAD I hit ONE SINGLE bloodstone 1.5x. Crunch the numbers folks! I’m being had. I’m so sick of this man.

Have I gotten insanely lucky before as well? Sure. Did I once Judgement one of 3 jokers needed for C++ on my last hand? Who’s asking. Trust me ONLY bad things happen to me in this game. LocalThunk I’m onto you. Keep laughing see if I play another 300 hours of this nonsense. Anyway back to it.

[tranquil steppe]

2.25x boost like a boss lmao

[shadow spruce]

easy dub just find a mime, three more blueprints, dna, directors cut, the hand vouchers, and then burglar

simple really

[tardy spade]

don't forget retcon

[shadow spruce]

i forgot what the upgraded director's cut was called whoops

[tardy spade]

brainstorms may substitute for blueprints

[lunar zealot]

silence

[tardy spade]

as long as you don't have more brainstorms than blueprints

[lunar zealot]

it beats violet vessel

and that's all you really need

[covert storm]

Guys might be a dumb question, but how do you guys consistently deck build. Like I struggle so hard with that. I never get the tarot cards I need, or I never get DNA. And when I do get the tarot cards
The king is NEVER THERE!!!!

[shell dagger]

Money

[lunar zealot]

Money

[tranquil steppe]

I mean that is what bbc is giving you there

[covert storm]

Money is the solution to everything

[frank grove]

yeah

[tardy spade]

balatro took ideas from real life

[covert storm]

Thank you kings

[tranquil steppe]

You don’t need king or dna to win. Those are for endless

[covert storm]

I know, I’m on blue chip but I never really properly made a deck build.

[shadow spruce]

if a gros michel dies at the end of ante 8 finisher does it not count for the sticker

[tardy spade]

nope

[shadow spruce]

assy

[frank grove]

yeah

it just dies

[fiery nymph]

help my cavendish broke

[manic talon]

balatro so cool i wish bananas are real

[tight pike]

There is no rng in this game, there is an ai that checks whatever thing you need and gives the complete opposite

[proper turtle]

this is some abmyssal luck in the 1st 2 antes

[gloomy swallow]

95/150 jokers gold staked!

[tight pike]

I AM LIKE 300 RESETS IN WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MADNESS JOKER

[gloomy swallow]

who doesnt love bbc

[gloomy swallow]

why is it uncanio

[shadow spruce]

.

[fiery nymph]

i think you should just choose a different strategy than relying on a single joker

[calm furnace]

this run had insane potent but the Ox ruined it at ante 6

[barren wigeon]

so uhh what now

do i like showman or something

[tardy spade]

you still won....

[calm furnace]

barely

flush level 7, constellation was at 1.6

i only won because campfire is yhe best joker in the game

[tardy spade]

try to swap out dice for another blueprint or brainstorm if you're scoring enough

using showman

[tardy spade]

a win is a win

[calm furnace]

yeah but viollet vessel would have ruined me

i hate the ox

[tardy spade]

a win is a win

[barren wigeon]

okie dokie

[deft sandal]

I'm the one who is dumb enough to do a Hit the road run

[uncut matrix]

do you have jacks

[tardy spade]

a run isn't dumb if it works

[uncut matrix]

^

[tight pike]

Well the jokers I want to use just dony exist

[calm furnace]

HtR is good

blue stake is bad

[deft sandal]

I took an Ouija and I have more than enough Jacks

[tight pike]

Only blueprint tends to show up

[uncut matrix]

then why is it dumb

[fiery nymph]

learn how to use every joker and build your own strategy every game

[uncut matrix]

you have good xM and you deck fixed

[tight pike]

Ye good fcking luck finding a use for the square joker

[uncut matrix]

square is great wdym

[fiery nymph]

square joker is one of the best chip scaling jokers in the game btw

[uncut matrix]

relatively good chip scaler

[tiny nexus]

Guy doesn't know about square joker

[fiery nymph]

this guy cant be real

helll noooo

[frank grove]

square joker is great

[fiery nymph]

[calm furnace]

i mean there is like 5 they all good

[deft sandal]

bro doesn't know about the best chip joker: wee

[tiny nexus]

Runner 😎

[tight pike]

Nah I like that one

[fiery nymph]

whenever it shows up its always peak

any chip scaler is good imo

[tiny nexus]

Plus shortcut

[uncut matrix]

so you like the one you have to deck fix for more than the one you can do anytime

[deft sandal]

always love to watch a wee grow

[calm furnace]

yeah beggars cant be choosers its not like game gives us options

[potent tree]

i forgot how much i disliked abandoned deck

[calm furnace]

and chip is good

[calm furnace]

huh its top tier

[fiery nymph]

i mean square works great with spare trousers imo usually always a free win for me

[tight pike]

Yes cuz square always shows up when my boss blind is the psychic cuz of balatro timing

[tiny nexus]

Bus on abandoned deck feeds generations

[uncut matrix]

so dont scale it during the boss

i dont see the issue

[lament bronze]

Bus anywhere feeds generations

[fiery nymph]

i mean thats only 1 round of not being able to scale square joker its not like it resets

[calm furnace]

bus on any deck escept erratic carries

[lament bronze]

Just don't play faces bro you can just not play them

It grows on high card too

[fiery nymph]

abandoned deck is soooo fun

[frank grove]

I just had a rare ace run so that was fun

[fiery nymph]

i love bus

[tight pike]

I don't like bus

[tiny nexus]

You can even play them, as long as they're not the scoring hand, bus is my beloved

[lament bronze]

Not like you have that many jokers that even help with them

[fiery nymph]

you need to learn how to use good cards

[uncut matrix]

i think royraven just doesnt understand how scaling works

[lament bronze]

Some of the best face card jokers don't even want you to play them

[deft sandal]

How about econ jokers, What do you think is the best econ joker

[lament bronze]

Like parking or stm

[tardy spade]

pareidolia

[tardy spade]

rebate

[fiery nymph]

rebate

[tight pike]

I know I have to deck fix, I genuintly just don't like it

[uncut matrix]

they see “1 mult” or “4 chips “ and are like nooo

[calm furnace]

chicot

[frank grove]

rebate or golden ticket sometimes

[fiery nymph]

it just makes winning a lot more consistent, ur alternative of rerolling 300 times for madness aint worth it

[lament bronze]

Only face card joker that outweighs such a mult increase is photochad and that one isn't even a one joker combo

[uncut matrix]

why madness out of all

[tight pike]

I aint specifically rerolling for madness, just a joker I can easily hex + ankh

[lament bronze]

And fancier photochad (Triboulet)

[calm furnace]

trib is fancy idol

[fiery nymph]

see why are you depending on an ankh

[frank grove]

you would have to find eternal madness

[deft sandal]

when I'm on gold stake, I would take vagabond

[fiery nymph]

just play each game restarting doesnt teach you anything

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[calm furnace]

restart every run without chicot

[tight pike]

This you?

[uncut matrix]

dont say that youll awaken the devil

[deft sandal]

ahh yes, just when I was talking about him

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone is goated fr fr ong no cap straight bussin

[tight pike]

Bloodstone is epic I can't lie

[deft sandal]

Only if it hit the x mult

I wouldn't take bloodstone without a Oops all six

[tight pike]

Classic balatro fashion, it'll hit the x mult as soon as you are able to beat the blind without it

[deft sandal]

Just when it matters the most, it would go completely silence

[placid cave]

what the hell is this seed

[tight pike]

Unlike my lucky cards who somehow with a red seal and dusk only manage to trigger money like 8 times but mult hell no

[fiery nymph]

i love bloodstone especially when it doesnt trigger at all in my flush its amazing

[placid cave]

I really don't want to kill hallucination here, it's my main source of tarot currently

[uncut matrix]

does baron do anything for you

[fiery nymph]

its going to disable the boss

[tight pike]

Also classic balatro fashion why do you give me diet cola with foil?

[tardy spade]

+50 chips

[placid cave]

guess how i made it to ante 12

[uncut matrix]

oh fair didnt see

[fiery nymph]

i mean if ur in an early ante free chips and sell it whenever a good skip comes by

[deft sandal]

oh my god, the joker I've been waiting to make hit the road become the best joker in game

[tight pike]

No but even in like ante 7

[uncut matrix]

i thought it was an early run where you just took it lol

[fiery nymph]

i mean are you lacking in chip?

[tight pike]

No, it's just in general that I hate getting foil in ante 7-8

[fiery nymph]

foil is awesome fym

[frank grove]

foil in ante 7/8 probably isnt that useful, but early game foils go crazy

[fiery nymph]

dont underestimate chips

[placid cave]

yorick: too late to scale
perkeo: best one here
chicot: die
trib: im playing high card

[serene forge]

where is your econ

[frank grove]

with baron, hopefully gold cards? but that 52 card deck sheesh

[placid cave]

i have >1 money, is that econ?

[placid cave]

i replaced cards more than destroying them, but yeah need to keep an eye on that

[frank grove]

yeah, how late did you get baron?

[placid cave]

ante 2 through wrath actually

[lunar zealot]

ello ello

[potent tree]

it's the balatro player who can't read

[lunar zealot]

what did you say

[deft sandal]

7.5x mult on Hit the Road lmao

[potent tree]

"i cant read, im a balatro player"

wherever that screenshot is

[idle bear]

Is it just me or does this game feel like playing with a calculator except someone actually made it into a game?

[lunar zealot]

if you think about it every sensation in existence is the movement of atoms and the perception of such movement by neurons and your enjoyment of anything is just hormones

just enjoy balatro man

[idle bear]

I'm not complaining, just think it's funny

[tardy spade]

math is enjoyable though

[lunar zealot]

True...

[idle bear]

Like playing with a calculator is fun until you hit the limit, but the only limit balatro has is naneinf

[lunar zealot]

well unless you have talisman

[tardy spade]

which I am trying to reach now. I am on ante 23 boss with no antimatter and there is exactly 1 very specific combination of events that can save this run now.

which.... I didn't get

[lunar zealot]

with the omeganum library i don't think it's ever going to be possible to hit the limit

it's like

e whatever the fuck

[signal lark]

hey guys im a new player
is it better to use the blue/red/black/yellow deck while im starting?

[tardy spade]

time to wraith

[deft sandal]

welp, my jacks aren't jack enough

[tiny nexus]

I'd say blue or yellow when starting out, I used blue to do all the way to gold stake when I started, to learn the game and to unlock cards, other decks etc

[signal lark]

alright
i think ill just use blue for now

[deft sandal]

always the ante 24

[tardy spade]

yep....

[tardy spade]

What really killed me was no voucher skip for 23 antes

[deft sandal]

I was dead after this lol

[tardy spade]

I had 3 double tags, I sacrificed an invisible joker for the voucher skip

[deft sandal]

i took the burglar too early

[potent tree]

why do my bananas keep expiring round 1?!

i mean it's good but like

[tardy spade]

(1/6)^x chance

[deft sandal]

It would be great to have cavendish in ante 1

[dry remnant]

this was a great win

[potent tree]

true

[dry remnant]

round 1 polychrome heartstone is crazy

[deft sandal]

the disrespect on bloodstone :/

[dry remnant]

it will always be heartstone to me idk why

[latent egret]

deserved

[dry remnant]

it was not hitting at all till trust oops

[deft sandal]

fr

[tranquil steppe]

But it’s shaped like an oval

[tranquil steppe]

I’m convinced people hate on bloodstone to try and be funny

[dry remnant]

no it acc just sucks

[deft sandal]

they only hit when the mult doesn't matter

[dry remnant]

its got no use unless u get oops and can be ruined by so many bosses

[deft sandal]

and when you need it the most, it just went silence like it is pleading the fifth

[heavy heron]

hating on bloodstone isn’t funny, people hate on bloodstone because it ACTUALLY kills you unless you’re just lucky or find an oops

50% likelihood isn’t enough, it just isn’t

and if you’re winning even with only 50% hits, you would’ve won without bloodstone

[deft sandal]

I swear that 50% is rigged but I can't prove it

[heavy heron]

we’ve all seen proof enough honestly

LOOLLL

dude i see a bloodstone early i’m just skipping it

i prefer to stay alive ty

[dry remnant]

it's acc more unreliable than 8 ball istg

[heavy heron]

EXACTLY

EVEN 8 BALL HITS HARDER

that’s why i don’t get

why streamers always go hearts if they don’t know what suit to go

you’re going to build towards the most useless suit? hearts?

[dry remnant]

it looks pretty yk

[heavy heron]

arrowhead or even onyx is a thousand times better for ante 8 gold stake

hell even rough gem

[deft sandal]

If I see ancient joker and bloodstone, I would rather take the ancient joker

[heavy heron]

yup

all the way

because you aren’t at the mercy of your luck

[abstract beacon]

part of what makes bloodstone bad early is that flushes scale poorly, and that base flush +mult is pretty meh

[heavy heron]

flushes scale pretty well imo the more i played

[dry remnant]

i know for a fact if i didn't find an oops that run early i was so dead

[abstract beacon]

late game, when you might be building towards flush five, those problems aren't there

[tardy spade]

so ancient is bad early as well?

[abstract beacon]

so bloodstone is more appealing

[heavy heron]

bloodstone needs base mult; 2 mult per planet isn’t the worst

[abstract beacon]

it's better than bloodstone, but you may need a plan besides it for ante 2-4

[tardy spade]

plan: Jupiters and lucky cars

[heavy heron]

ancinet is good early too

[deft sandal]

Lucky cars 💀

[tardy spade]

yep

[placid cave]

cars are kinda expensive tho, especially in this economy

[heavy heron]

a flush on ancient, alone, is enough to keep you alive long enough to find some jupiters

🤤

[deft sandal]

that's why you need mail in rebate

[heavy heron]

$5 ain’t getting you no car

[digital pasture]

i wonder if there will be goon jokers

[heavy heron]

excuse me

[shut escarp]

do you guys buy supernova or keep going for interest

[deft sandal]

maybe satellite is the way to go

[heavy heron]

you see most people buy supernova and spam pairs

[heavy heron]

but i ain’t doing allat

i open buffoon pack

and raw dog it until i find smth fun

[shut escarp]

ah i see

[digital pasture]

your profile has me crine

[heavy heron]

wdym it’s jerry

[placid cave]

supernova fell off kinda quickly so interest

[heavy heron]

that’s my boy right there

[placid cave]

jom and terry

[digital pasture]

he's goated but still, his face is knocking me out harder than jp taking a REAL punch

[heavy heron]

sounds mostly right

[digital pasture]

jp being jake paul

[heavy heron]

i honestly don’t even know the origins of that jerry face

was that an actual face he made

or is it edited

[last bolt]

I hate

[placid cave]

💬
🐱

[last bolt]

red deck

[deft sandal]

open buffoon pack on gold stake ante 1
look inside
eternal rental egg
Perishable blueprint
Pain

[heavy heron]

wow, really? why?

[digital pasture]

what's wrong with red deck???

[heavy heron]

hmm

well that’s less about

red deck

more

your card sharp got countered

[last bolt]

nope

red deck

[heavy heron]

you have to walk into that boss expecting glass

[last bolt]

🥀🥀🥀

[heavy heron]

like you need

some extra strength

to deal w that boss

[pastel hazel]

i finally beat a run 🙂

[heavy heron]

that’s why you always check boss during small blind

[heavy heron]

nice!

[heavy heron]

and once you see it’s a boss that kills you

[last bolt]

guess what i did

[pastel hazel]

only took me 36 hours 😭

[heavy heron]

look for glass, look for smth

[heavy heron]

not one justice?

[pastel hazel]

Thanks!

[last bolt]

nope

[calm furnace]

SO MUCH PAIN

[last bolt]

not even a moon

[heavy heron]

then yeah not much you could do

[placid cave]

or pro tip: politely tell them "no", blinds can't kill you without your consent.

[heavy heron]

that is true; you could just eternally stay on the boss page

[last bolt]

I am suing the eye

[heavy heron]

so uh

what does it have to do with red deck

[last bolt]

everything

[heavy heron]

the same thing would’ve happened on blue

or yellow

[last bolt]

red decks fault

[heavy heron]

interesting

[last bolt]

that extra discard

threw the run

trust

[heavy heron]

detrimental to your health

got it

i see

[last bolt]

[deft sandal]

it seems racist towards the reds

[last bolt]

exactly

I hate red deck and red card

[ember river]

what's the max amount of hands you can have in a vanilla run? (not hand size or poker hand levelling, i mean like amount of hands you can play in a round)

[last bolt]

whenever I get a red card from judgement i js sell it

[last bolt]

false

[heavy heron]

blue deck +1, burglar +3, blueprint brainstorm copying 3 of them is +3 +3 +3 +3 and both vouchers +2, and 4 by default

so like

[last bolt]

I already did those two

🔥

[heavy heron]

22 hands

[ember river]

jesus christ woW

[heavy heron]

i’m sure you could get more

[ember river]

thank you! i had no idea it was that crazy

[heavy heron]

negative burglars and such

[shell dagger]

No upper bound

[uncut matrix]

i was too greedy, got rid of my bull for the invis to copy bp and couldnt reroll for another bull 😔

[heavy heron]

that’s why you skip invis if you know your build wins

[terse vale]

idk how to respond to this question

[heavy heron]

i’ve skipped blueprint

[terse vale]

cus theoretically

and all that jazz

[heavy heron]

knowing i couldn’t give up any one thihng for it

[uncut matrix]

i had space for invis

[heavy heron]

dw i answered it already :)

[deft sandal]

red card joker is just the worst scaling joker tbh, If you don't take any skips. you only get 2 packs for every shop.

[uncut matrix]

it just didnt copy copyers

[heavy heron]

woah woah don’t say that here people will eat you alive

i’m serious

LOOLLLL

[shell dagger]

That’s 6 mult per round

[heavy heron]

it’s happening already

[shell dagger]

Faster than grimbo

[terse vale]

well there could be a seed with like 1000 negative blueprints

[placid cave]

what's the most forgettable joker?

[deft sandal]

Sorry, not sorry. :/

[heavy heron]

and a showman ig..

[terse vale]

I guess RT95 is right

[terse vale]

stone

[terse vale]

oh ya

[heavy heron]

no i mean don’t be sorry

[terse vale]

even without showman tho

[heavy heron]

just looking out for ya

i personally dislike red card because i don’t like skipping packs

it’s not to say it’s bad but like

[terse vale]

either stone or glass

or maybe astronomer

[heavy heron]

it’s not satisfying when i have to skip packs i don’t want to skip; or vise versa

[placid cave]

opening packs that much would be detrimental to your econ tho

[deft sandal]

you only see like 23 shops before beating a game

[terse vale]

not really

[shell dagger]

do you normally skip opening every pack

[shell dagger]

i know

[heavy heron]

see this is why i hate early red card actually

you just.. can’t.. open packs

when you’re dead broke

you need to save money unless you exactly already have ~20 dollars

[terse vale]

well yeah but why would you be dead broke

[heavy heron]

then you CAN scale it

[last bolt]

pack tags tho

[heavy heron]

well you kinda start with $4

[terse vale]

you should always aim to be above interest cap anyways

[heavy heron]

that’s just common knowledge

[last bolt]

unless you're on yellow deck

[deft sandal]

imagine you see a soul card and you decide to skip it to feed the red card

[terse vale]

oh ye early

[heavy heron]

but you don’t start with interest threshold

[terse vale]

but like ante 3 its good to scale

[terse vale]

this does happen

[heavy heron]

🤤

[shell dagger]

the “what if i dont want to skip the packs” argument is silly

if every pack contains something good then you win the game

if every pack contains nothing good then now you scale mult

and win the game

[placid cave]

if i reached a point in them game where i can comfortably opening packs, red card would probably have fallen off.
