[scenic siren]

well sure

[lunar zealot]

economically speaking 1 dollar to 1 mult is a good trade

it works well with pairs because you don't need to discard with pairs

[vale mesa]

its good for hands where you don't have to discard a lot
e.g. not straights

[scenic siren]

but i assume itd be better on lower card count hands

[woven spire]

i like green but it makes some things worse

[scenic siren]

so not straights, flushes (mostly), etc

[lunar zealot]

yes like pairs

the philosophy is the same for most other scaling +mult jokers

[scenic siren]

do i get it?

[lunar zealot]

ride the bus, red card, supernova

[scenic siren]

i have jolly, trousers, and s&b

[vale mesa]

ride the bus with abandoned

[lunar zealot]

they scale better when the hand you play gains less mult from its planet

[lunar zealot]

ride the bus is good on any deck

[woven spire]

rtb wee

[scenic siren]

nah, ride the bus with paridolia frfr

[vale mesa]

its the best with abandoned

[woven spire]

on the plant too

[scenic siren]

yeahhhhhh

[vale mesa]

bruh

[scenic siren]

best build ever

[lunar zealot]

in fact i'm playing a run with bus right now

[vale mesa]

cool

[woven spire]

lowk crazy scaling in ante 4

[lunar zealot]

i took a hiero

[scenic siren]

Pareidolia, Ride the Bus, and Baron on Abandoned deck

Im so smort

[nova mantle]

Build outta heaven

[woven spire]

and a trib

[lunar zealot]

except the eternal faceless

[nova mantle]

Missing some chips but planet scaling will do

[lunar zealot]

then again i needed it to stabilize

[lunar zealot]

dw i have lots of blue seals from dna

[nova mantle]

Wonderful

[lunar zealot]

i think i win

[scenic siren]

gotta update my name

[vale mesa]

people say blackboard is really good
but like
HOW

[lunar zealot]

i have dcut in case i get vessel

[lunar zealot]

play pairs

then play 3 other cards

[nova mantle]

Ive come to the point of not being able to get more gold stickers cause I can't find the missing ones by rerolling the shop

[lunar zealot]

so you don't have hearts or diamonds in your hand

[scenic siren]

there

76 now

[lunar zealot]

it's another reason why pairs are good

[vale mesa]

hm

[nova mantle]

Like I've got 2 free slots for carries but I can only fill one since all the ones I find are already gold stickered

[vale mesa]

yeah that makes sense

[woven spire]

baaalalala

[lunar zealot]

tough choice

i think i take constell over dna

my holo is scaled enough and i have a lot of blue seals

[scenic siren]

omg i have a fire build only on round 8 shop

[nova mantle]

Id pick lusty over blackboard

[scenic siren]

yall

[vale mesa]

i love dna ;-;

[lunar zealot]

then again this opportunity does present itself

and i do love gambling

[nova mantle]

Yes

YES

YES

Lucky feline

[vale mesa]

do it

[nova mantle]

Pick it

[lunar zealot]

chat this decision isn't optimal so don't copy everything i do

[scenic siren]

i have jolly, green, trousers, s&b, and space rn

and i js got space right before arm

[vale mesa]

ok but optimal decisions are stupid
gambling is fun

[nova mantle]

It is optimal for fun tho

Grab it

El gato afortunao

[lunar zealot]

i just want to make this clear because i'm so good at the game that people look up to me (i'm joking)

[vale mesa]

lol

ive just beat ghost on gold stake
most other decks only on white stake or never at all
bc i suck and i need to use an easy deck to have fun
whats the next deck i should go through

[scenic siren]

i js swapped out green with mad

[blissful fog]

Im finally freee

[scenic siren]

ive got me a two pair build goin

[vale mesa]

gg lol

[nova mantle]

Ancient deck or yellow deck are fun for me

[blissful fog]

My game was lagging so baaad

[amber forge]

Seeded or unseeded? Still cool either way

[lunar zealot]

with hindsight selling constellation for lucky cat was a strictly suboptimal play

but it is funny

[scenic siren]

yall

[blissful fog]

It's seeded. Used the infamous negative trib perkeo

[vale mesa]

ok its yellow time
cuz yellow is really easy

[scenic siren]

is smear and use in a two pair build?

[blissful fog]

No?

[scenic siren]

any*

[violet trail]

Goood god why me

[scenic siren]

i dont think so

[lunar zealot]

not really

[scenic siren]

unless i get a seeing double or smth

[lunar zealot]

oh wow

and perfect timing because violet vessel is coming up

[blissful fog]

Would be 1000 mult if I didn't sell the other nat negative I had lmao

[vale mesa]

quick question
HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE PLAY STRAIGHT FLUSHES

[lunar zealot]

they don't

[vale mesa]

oh ok

lol

[blissful fog]

Easy, they don't

You would be insane to do it

[vale mesa]

but scaling ;-;

[violet trail]

I hate this seed now

[blissful fog]

Scaling good but the consistency is rare

Even on checkered

[lunar zealot]

i don't mean to be crass but strush sucks balls

[violet trail]

Its high risk high reward
On early antes but then its just shit

[vale mesa]

and the fact that neptune keeps appearing in celestial packs when i have no intention of trying to do so

[nova matrix]

Guys

I have collosal news

[violet trail]

Be crass strush is balls

[nova matrix]

I finally unlocked bloodstone

[violet trail]

Yippie

[lunar zealot]

and i win now

[violet trail]

Have fun 1 in 4

[lunar zealot]

sometimes all you need are pairs

[violet trail]

Or be dumb just use flushes

[lunar zealot]

seed is

M19RITWA

if anyone wants to try

[nova mantle]

Straight builds are fairly rare outside of abandoned, let alone strushes lol

[nova matrix]

I didn’t unlock it until ante 7

[lunar zealot]

i saw a lot of good jokers this run

[vale mesa]

gg lol
i love bloodstone

bloodstone is a fun joker

[nova matrix]

It’s my beloved

[scenic siren]

guys i think my space joker is broken... it hasnt done a thing yet lol

[lunar zealot]

make sure to have oops

bloodstone isn't good without it

[vale mesa]

bloodstone is yes

[nova matrix]

I had the probablity joker

[lunar zealot]

then good

[blissful fog]

Just gotta believe man

[nova matrix]

And then I caught blueprint and bloodstone same shop

[nova mantle]

Space tends to do absolutely nothing lol

[lunar zealot]

space joker is an investment

[vale mesa]

god

[lunar zealot]

you have to accept that sometimes it does nothing

[nova matrix]

But then verdant leaf hit

[lunar zealot]

it's why you play pairs so you can play 4 pairs per round

[vale mesa]

space joker is good

[lunar zealot]

so statistically speaking space should proc once per round

right

[lunar zealot]

and then it still doesn't

[nova mantle]

Until you are in the arm boss blind then a sleeper agent wakes up

[lunar zealot]

and then you're sad

[hasty garnet]

Damn

[nova matrix]

And the only thing I could sell was prob

Also what is oops joker

[vale mesa]

and then you have showman and find two oopses and realize it isn't worth two slots

[lunar zealot]

i think bloodstone + oops gives more expected value than 2 bloodstones

[terse vale]

aaaaaall sixes

[lunar zealot]

i will provide this screenshot as anecdotal yet important information on bloodstone's tendency to suck without oops

[atomic trout]

So get this, how risky is this run? Should I keep burning Straights?

[terse vale]

less lows so i’d say its better

[lunar zealot]

i have 2 bloodstones and 2 retrigger jokers and only get 100k

[nova mantle]

By doing field research I've come to find out that space procs 1 hand after I sell it

[nova matrix]

I know you can’t see

[lunar zealot]

with a setup like this i would be getting a score in the millions

[nova matrix]

But it was blueprint

Bloodstone

[vale mesa]

bloodstone without oops can kill your run if youre unlucky

and you rely on it

[scenic siren]

SPACE JOKER DID SOMETHING YAYYYYYY

[nova matrix]

The other blueprint

[lunar zealot]

that looks like blueprint yorick bloodstone brainstorm

[nova matrix]

Yeah that’s exactly it

[nova mantle]

Buy a lottery ticket

[lunar zealot]

space is good when it's in its element

[nova matrix]

Bro can tell just from the tip

[lunar zealot]

i.e you can play lots of hands per round

[scenic siren]

it took him like 15 tries T-T

[lunar zealot]

q.e.d space is good with pairs

[nova matrix]

He might be local thunk

[nova mantle]

Atleast it hits more than wheel amirite

[vale mesa]

what do y'all think of the synergy yorick has with burglar?

[lunar zealot]

it's great and you should do that

you should also keep making those kinds of jokes they're really funny

[nova mantle]

The synergy of pareidolia and rtb is unparalleled tho

[nova matrix]

I once got wheel of fortune to prick twice in row

[lunar zealot]

i got yorick and canio in the same run

[nova matrix]

And that’s all of my wheel of fortune luck forever

[lunar zealot]

0 wheel procs though

so really my luck cancels out

[nova mantle]

I get to see the wheel fail even with dice so I'll probably never see that

[nova matrix]

Local thunk has to stop by your house and personally bless you

And give you a full kiss on the lips

[nova mantle]

Ew

A handshake would be enough

[scenic siren]

i js did 60k on ante 6...

[violet trail]

Gg you won prolly

[nova matrix]

I would love a handshake from local thunk

I also love playing actual poker, Balatro got me into poker and I love playing Texas hold em

[blissful fog]

You can try to copy bloodstone instead

[lunar zealot]

better expected value to copy hack

[nova matrix]

I also finally unlocked that joker

[lunar zealot]

bloodstone's inconsistency means it's better to play for expected value than maximum value

[nova matrix]

The one that copies another joker

[lunar zealot]

because otherwise you die to needle or eye or vessel etc

[zinc willow]

Not bad for a spectral run, seed included for those that want it. Poly spaceman did me proud

[nova matrix]

It’s like grey

[nova matrix]

I love flush

[blissful fog]

Ahh alr alr

[zinc willow]

Don't have any complaints other than there was EXACTLY 1 justice card in the whole run, could've gone further otherwise, and only 3 hangman

[nova matrix]

Which one is justice

Is that

[blissful fog]

Brainstorm?

[nova matrix]

Glass card?

[zinc willow]

Convert to Glass

Ya

[nova matrix]

No, it’s the one you unlock for only using 4 jokers

[blissful fog]

Invisible

Dupe is a better word for that

[nova matrix]

Yeah, I have yet to see it

I’m gonna be hunting for it tomorrow

[blissful fog]

It's a rare so it might take a bit

[nova matrix]

I said it earlier but finally cleared gold stake today

[scenic siren]

NOOOOOO

[nova matrix]

Great feeling

[scenic siren]

WHYYYYYY STUPID VIOLET VESSEL

[blissful fog]

Very nice

[nova mantle]

Violet vessel and crimson heart be so wicked I can't believe they are at the same level of amber acorn and cerulean bell

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[zinc willow]

I have 1 gold stake and its in randomized deck

[nova mantle]

Especially cerulean bell that one does NOTHING 😭

[nova matrix]

I think me and this guy want to fight inna a parking lot

[lunar zealot]

bell kills straight and 5oak

it's why 4oak is better than 5oak

[zinc willow]

9 kings to start with and a baron and perkeo, so I had the odds

[lunar zealot]

well. one of the reasons actually

mouth water needle and planet x being a dogshit planet

and blue stake too

[scenic siren]

whats the 5th final tho...

ball, vessel, acorn, heart...

[hardy fable]

also having the ability to hold more cards with 4oak

[lunar zealot]

verdant leaf

[scenic siren]

oh yeah leaf

[zinc willow]

I just run white and Black when im feeling froggy now

[lunar zealot]

verdant leaf kills noob trap builds

[nova matrix]

Which ones leaf?

[lunar zealot]

it's really not a difficult blind by any means

especially when playing pairs

[tacit stream]

[scenic siren]

whats it do i forget

[hardy fable]

seems more like a chip than a leaf to me

[lunar zealot]

all cards debuffed until 1 joker sold

[zinc willow]

Last night's run, not bad

[dim ingot]

Just had a fun game with the Sacrificial Dagger

[scenic siren]

oh yeah

thats just like... really easy

get rid of your least useful joker

[nova matrix]

Leaf screwed me over today

[scenic siren]

welp

[nova matrix]

I was running a uncommom joker build with baseball

[dim ingot]

If your synergy needs all five, that could end you…

[lunar zealot]

it is easy unless all your jokers are necessary or you have eternals

[scenic siren]

how does leaf work if you have no jokers...

[lunar zealot]

or if you're stupid

[nova matrix]

And I had blueprint and brainstorm

[scenic siren]

ig

[lunar zealot]

aka leaf kills noob trap builds

[lunar zealot]

baseball, you say?

[tacit stream]

or build something that doesn't rely on playing cards to trigger effects

[scenic siren]

huh?

[zinc willow]

I always neg skip for a useless joker so im not locked in there

[lunar zealot]

i know something about baseball card, myself

you could say i'm quite the

connoisseur

of that joker

[nova matrix]

I wonder, how could one tell?

[lunar zealot]

the aficionado

[dim ingot]

If you have a joker that gives chips, you might be able to skip over the debuffs and win anyways

[lunar zealot]

i quite enjoy it

if you can't tell

[brazen island]

Kami why’d you steal my naming convention

[nova mantle]

Tbf doing a straight build is not optimal

[zinc willow]

My favorite is Arrowhead, nobody seems to use it in long runs though

[scenic siren]

ive become the two pair glazer after 5 days of playing T-T. I love me my Trousers, Supernova and Seeing Double, the best card of all

[nova matrix]

Which ones hit the road

[lunar zealot]

i was here first

[dim ingot]

And that one that wants 4 card hands?

[brazen island]

Nah I totally did it first we all remember me doing it first

[hardy fable]

i became a joker( it had hinder my ability to hold a conversation)

[nova mantle]

Maybe amber acorn is less threatening

[lunar zealot]

i'm more popular and more beautiful than you

[scenic siren]

oh square? nah, i like using my 5th as discard

[dim ingot]

Fair

[brazen island]

.5x mult per jack discarded, resets at end of round

[brazen island]

Popular I can concede

[zinc willow]

Does anyone even run spades on gold stake?

[nova mantle]

If you grab your only xmult joker to pull it to the right it just undermines it's whole gimmick

[brazen island]

All the time why wouldn’t I

Good for blackboard + the slay the princess art is my favorite + arrowhead is my favorite suit joker

[scenic siren]

two pair is really a win or lose fully based on jokers. if you cant get a two pair joker in time you're cooked, otherwise you can last to the end, unless its VIOLET VESSEL RAHHHHHH

[lunar zealot]

they're the other black suit

[zinc willow]

Nobody seems to run arrowhead thats why I ask. It just seems undervalued. On an optimal hand its 250 extra chips minimum

[lunar zealot]

blackboard is great

[dim ingot]

I need to remember to buy planets

[brazen island]

Lots of people love arrowhead

[nova matrix]

👎

[dim ingot]

I forget so much…

[tacit stream]

my last gold sticker run was technically spades trying to get the sticker on wrathful

[lunar zealot]

yknow fork i was having a great day until you posted that image

[serene forge]

everyone does

[brazen island]

Hey what do you guys consider to be ‘win more’ jokers

[serene forge]

glad to help

[serene forge]

invis

[lunar zealot]

flash card

seed money voucher

[zinc willow]

Maybe im missing em in chat or coming at the wrong hours idk

[serene forge]

dna

[lunar zealot]

lucky cat

[tacit stream]

(It's actually a 4oak run powered by Hack and Burnt Joker)

[scenic siren]

guys, how do you get the suit specific jokers past the first 4 simple ones

[lunar zealot]

chat am i the hottest balatro player

[nova matrix]

Whenever I see hit the road I get super depressed

[scenic siren]

like arrowhead and stuff

[nova matrix]

No it’s me

[serene forge]

no that's @hybrid tendon

[lunar zealot]

i believe it's have 26 of a suit

[violet trail]

Oh thats fucking cool blue print doesnt copy golden

[lunar zealot]

Okay,

[scenic siren]

oh...

[nova mantle]

That would be local funk himself

[violet trail]

I thought it would give me 8 at the end

[zinc willow]

I just stumbled on em, club one won't leave me the hell alone

[nova mantle]

Can't out-hot him he created the game

[serene forge]

I love my gf

[scenic siren]

i like clubs 🙁

[brazen island]

I love my wife

[hardy fable]

no

[brazen island]

Wifeguys rise up

[nova matrix]

Me and you might fight in the parking lot

[scenic siren]

i actually like really want the club one for my Seeing Double

[zinc willow]

0 disrespect to you, Its just always there when I dont need it

[lunar zealot]

seeing double is

not a suit joker

[brazen island]

I kinda fw clubs the least

Ugly suit ngl

[scenic siren]

woah chill out

[lunar zealot]

i fucking love clubs

i love fallout

[zinc willow]

Except ironically that gold stake i mentioned. But I had blurred joker so it stake with neg arrow

*Stacked

[nova matrix]

Only redeeming grace

[scenic siren]

I'm just a Seeing Double fan, it's not my fault the joker chose to like Clubs more

[serene forge]

hearts are garbage until they get the kasane teto card skin

[zinc willow]

You in the 10k plus club my friend?

[nova matrix]

I will tag you in 25 minutes

[nova mantle]

What's the best one of the dark suits clubs or spades

[scenic siren]

Clubs has Seeing Double so I mean...

[zinc willow]

Wait.... are we talking about Fallout or part of balatro

[lunar zealot]

clubs

[lunar zealot]

fallout is a skin for clubs

[serene forge]

clubs are blue which means they are miku adjacent which means they're better

[zinc willow]

Ohhhh yeah, I use it on my Xbox copy of balatro

[nova mantle]

Not like seeing double is a very good joker, but I'd guess it's an advantage

[nova matrix]

What does this mean?

[scenic siren]

oh i forgot about skins, that really makes clubs better actually. StS is amazing

[scenic siren]

le gasp

[zinc willow]

10k plus hours in the Fallout series

[lunar zealot]

it's x2 mult

[scenic siren]

hating on my favorite joker i see

[lunar zealot]

just play pairs

[brazen island]

No slay the princess spade fans on here huh

[nova matrix]

I’ve only played Vegas

[brazen island]

They’re so sick

[scenic siren]

Seeing Double deserves better

[nova mantle]

Yeah I'd rather get X3 with black board

[brazen island]

Seeing double is fine

[nova matrix]

And I keep picking up and putting down 4

[nova mantle]

Not a big fan

[lunar zealot]

my skins are slay the princess/critical role/fallout/stardew

[nova mantle]

But not a hater either

[zinc willow]

No shame in that, I've been around since 2, so I have beat em all, they all have there things to be loved. Even Tactics and BOS. much hate as they get

[brazen island]

No amogus no Isaac, I’m going to cripple your cultivation

[lunar zealot]

i love dnd

[scenic siren]

oh btw what suits does checker keep?

[lunar zealot]

and i hate isaac

[lunar zealot]

spades and hearts

[nova mantle]

Spades and hearts

[brazen island]

Spades and hearts

[lunar zealot]

i said it first

[nova mantle]

Goddamn

[lunar zealot]

i win

[scenic siren]

frickin spades

[nova mantle]

I gotta write faster

[brazen island]

I said it second, fuck you third guy

[nova matrix]

I love Skyrim tho

[brazen island]

Wait

[nova mantle]

I'm in mobile 😭

[scenic siren]

so am i, no excuse

[zinc willow]

Hell Idek my hours in Skyrim, amazing game, just beat the remaster of Oblivion ad well back in September

[nova matrix]

If I was born in Tamriel I’d be. Skooma addict

I was playing the oblivion remastered, but then exam week hit so I had to take a break and at the time I was going through a super obsessive, Marvel rivals phase, so I had to drop it

But it’s on my next up list

[scenic siren]

im sad my favorite series doesnt have a suit skin

[nova mantle]

Which one

[scenic siren]

Hollow Knight

[lunar zealot]

ohhh if onlyyy someone could buyyyy me oblivion remasteredddd im just a girllll

wink wink

[zinc willow]

I want to like marvel rivals, im just not much for beat em ups. Kept me away from MK, SS, and such as well. Only beat em up i like was on PS2

[lunar zealot]

hey it's worth a shot

[nova mantle]

I'd find it more likely that hornet would get a suit skin now rather than the knight

[brazen island]

Hornet as hearts and the knight as spades 🔥🔥

[nova matrix]

Marvel rivals is a hero shooter brother

[fallow fog]

im bored

[nova matrix]

Super addictive like overwatch

[scenic siren]

yall, do i take clever or save for planet merchant

[nova mantle]

That's what I was thinking

[nova matrix]

I love planet merchant

[fallow fog]

do you need the clever to survive

[zinc willow]

Really? I only saw the ads it looked like a beat em up, might have to check it out then

[nova mantle]

Though very unlikely it would receive 2 skins for a sole franchise

[brazen island]

I think it would be sick to have one franchie get 4 suits

Make a fully hk themed deck fuck yeah

[scenic siren]

i think in Spades with Knight as king, Hornet as queen, and Quirrel as Jack

[zinc willow]

I wonder id they dont for copyright reasons? It doesn't make much sense

[scenic siren]

its shop 1 lol

[nova matrix]

Who are the fallout fans I need to ping

[zinc willow]

Yo

[fallow fog]

clever bruh

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[scenic siren]

ig

[nova matrix]

Me and you fighting

[serene forge]

if you're wondering if you should take planet merchant the answer is probably no

[fallow fog]

planet merchant gna make it harder to find jokers to keep u alive

[serene forge]

it sucks

[scenic siren]

i am nebula deck tho

[serene forge]

so what

[nova matrix]

I love rng

[scenic siren]

planet is better there

[fallow fog]

all the more you dont need planet merchant

[serene forge]

no?

[fallow fog]

telescope is frekin amazing

[serene forge]

planet packs are better

not planets

[scenic siren]

ig

wtv

[nova matrix]

Which one is clever

[fallow fog]

planets in shop wld still be random

[zinc willow]

Hopping in da shower, TTYL

[serene forge]

I hate Planet Merchant

[fallow fog]

two pair chips

[scenic siren]

i just got the exact planet i want in shop right now lol

[serene forge]

I hate Planet Tycoon

[nova matrix]

Bro knkws ball

[fallow fog]

whut

[nova matrix]

Thank you

[scenic siren]

clever is 2 pair

[serene forge]

i forgor

[scenic siren]

+80 chips for 2 pair

but it works bc i like me a 2 pair

[nova matrix]

I used to be a full house enjoyer

But then I moved to flush, and I haven’t looked back

[scenic siren]

i think my biggest problem with telescope is that it makes jumbo worse than standard

[vocal rose]

wait until you hear about pairs

[nova matrix]

No

[vocal rose]

then you'll never look back to anything else

[scenic siren]

no, wait til you hear about 2 pair bc fun :DDD

I was a Shiv guy in StS don't judge me

[nova matrix]

What dies this mean

[scenic siren]

slay the spire

i played Shiv builds

[nova matrix]

I just bought that last night

[lunar zealot]

i'm good at balatro but really bad at slay the spire

i need to play more tbh

[nova matrix]

You’re the fallout guy, right?

[lunar zealot]

i'm like a medium fish in a small pond

[lunar zealot]

well i like fallout

i'm not the person you're looking for

[nova matrix]

Wait 2@ minute

[lunar zealot]

i'm also not a guy

[scenic siren]

no StS is so much harder than Balatro

[nova matrix]

It’s for all fallout enjoyers

My bad gang

I thought I had to fall out people to tag

[scenic siren]

i've been playing Balatro for 5 days and have beaten it 3 times but I've had StS for like a year and still haven't beaten ascension 1

[nova matrix]

I also jus bought hades

[lunar zealot]

oh hades is a fun one

i got a clear in 7:34

[nova matrix]

Balatro was my first rougelike and indie

So I’ve been trying to get more into them

[lunar zealot]

if you stay in this chat a lot you'll see rt95 and he used to speedrun h1 on speedrun.com

cool guy

[nova matrix]

Oh that’s sick

But yeah, I need to play more rope likes, and indie in general

I’m playing through persona five right now

[lunar zealot]

if you wanna play rope likes then play half life 2

hardy har har

[scenic siren]

HoLlOw KnIgHt

[nova matrix]

I know I’m not a fan of Metroid vanias

I know I need to play it at some point, I got it as a gift a while ago

[scenic siren]

le gasp

jk

metroidvanias are very niche in fun

[nova matrix]

It’s not a problem with the game, but with me, I like more straightforward 2D platforms

[lunar zealot]

i liked castlevania

less so hollow knight

[scenic siren]

you have to be up for a challenge but also be strong enough to carry on through a non-linear world

[lunar zealot]

probably just because i enjoy the castlevania ip and vibe

[nova matrix]

That’s my problem, I don’t mess with the non linear stuff

Not in 2D playfornrrs

[scenic siren]

TOOTH CAN PUT YOU IN DEBT T-T

[nova matrix]

Here’s a throwback to one of my best build

[potent tree]

did you just say...THROWBACK

[nova matrix]

@lunar zealot @zinc willow

[potent tree]

mm grape

[nova matrix]

It’s nuka cola from fallout

[potent tree]

which reminds me vault boy does have a card skin in balatro

[nova matrix]

Yah that’s how we got talking about fallout in the first place

[nova matrix]

Is throwback a joker?

[potent tree]

all conversations are circular.

[potent tree]

have you ever had to pause a run

[nova matrix]

Yes

[potent tree]

have you ever resumed said run? from the main menu

[nova matrix]

Yes

[potent tree]

then you've unlocked throwback.

[nova matrix]

What does it do

[potent tree]

0.25 xmult for every blind skipped

and it retroactively scales

so if you skipped 4 blinds and then picked it up it still provides x2 mult

[nova matrix]

OHHHHH I LOVE THROWBACK

I use that shit all the time

[potent tree]

😭 you're telling me you didn't know its name??

[nova matrix]

Just didn’t know the name

[potent tree]

lmao

[nova matrix]

Dude I can’t remember half the shit in this game

Throwback was there for me when no one else was

[potent tree]

i fear i'll become that way if my hiatus becomes longer than i expect

[nova matrix]

Like little caesers

[potent tree]

pizza pizza. i need to go there sometime

i've been getting jet's or domino's or pizza hut most of the time

but not little caesars

[nova matrix]

Little Caesar’s is good if your on a budget

7 dollar cheese or pepperoni pizza

[runic trench]

how do people do this? my highscore is like 2.5 million

[nova matrix]

Devious luck

[potent tree]

i unfortunately cannot answer this question as i have never done a naneinf run

but there's a lot of videos on youtube that explain it i'm sure.

[unreal iron]

huh 2 seemingly random pings from here

[potent tree]

it wasn't me that's for sure.

[ripe gull]

is this dreamo or smth

[vocal rose]

well this is a seeded run

[ripe gull]

anyway thats seeded

and also not that goo

hi zoahl

[vocal rose]

hi

[vocal rose]

but learning naneinf strats is how people get to that level unseeded

[runic trench]

how do you possibly reach that level

i dont see it

i watched a naneinf speedrun

i genuinely had no clue what i was even looking at

[fickle mesa]

its just repeated instances of xmult

rather than focusing too hard on like individual scaling xmult jokers

[runic trench]

what deck should i be using

[terse vale]

prolly plasma

[runic trench]

wha

[terse vale]

have you unlocked plasma deck yet

[runic trench]

uhh

no

how do i

[terse vale]

well first off you gotta play the game more to understand more stuff

[terse vale]

also let me cheeck

[runic trench]

im sorry

i suck at this game

[terse vale]

yeah just beat blue stake

[runic trench]

huh

im braindead

[fickle mesa]

okay so have you beaten ante 8 yet

[runic trench]

yeah

once

with red deck i think

[fickle mesa]

go on the deck you beat it on

red deck

[ripe gull]

dont focus on endless

[runic trench]

so best ante 8 on red stake?

[fickle mesa]

and there should be an option to switch from white stake to red stake

[runic trench]

that sounds really hard

[fickle mesa]

beat a bunch more stakes

and then u get blue stake

[runic trench]

a bunch more💔

yo im so cooked

alr ill try

[brazen island]

8 stakes total, you got this!!

[fickle mesa]

blue stake is like the 5th or 6th stake i think

[brazen island]

5th

Dead chat 💔

[runic trench]

nah💔

i wouldnt have this if there was a gun to my head

im so ass at this game

[brazen island]

It’s okay dawg we’re all ass at the game

Except dr spectred

Exception that proves the rule

Just learn the basic principles of how to win and you’ll do fine

[fickle mesa]

do u want advice

[tender hill]

balatro

more like

balala

[terse dock]

balator more like

Balls

Goodnight

[runic trench]

thatd be great

i have a question

[lunar zealot]

the answer is make money

[runic trench]

the question is how do i spend my money

[terse dock]

Reroll

[worn oasis]

my first ever big number

[terse dock]

Or bull

[lunar zealot]

there are many ways to use cash

1. spend money to make money

2. spend money to reroll

3. spend money to get stronger

[runic trench]

there is nothing good i can get out of a reroll in this instance

[fickle mesa]

generally after the first couple antes you want to be playing pairs
to play pairs you want to use jokers that give mult and chips, like square joker, green joker, abstract joker, and blue joker
you generally want either your mult or your chips to be scaling
later on in the game you wanna find a source of xmult, preferably scaling but also not, to multiply your score. be sure to move it to the right in order for it to be optimal scoring wise, unless you want to underscore for whatever reason

[terse dock]

Yeah there is

Nothing else theres always planets

[runic trench]

yeah i bet my would be $4 would be pretty useful after a rerolll

[runic trench]

thank you

[terse dock]

Why are you rerolling if $4 matters that much

[runic trench]

im not

which is why i said i wasnt going to because there wasnt anything food i couls get from a reroll

[fickle mesa]

save up to 25$ for interest after getting scoring taken care of in the early game

[last bolt]

double poly skip

[cursive crater]

i do not condone to todays balatrodle

||HOW IS SMEARED JOKER HANDS/DISCARDS AND NOT OTHER||

[unreal iron]

||it does involve playing flushes in a different way||

||just like how you can play with shortcut or four fingers differently, ranks and 4 cards respectively||

[quartz ember]

spoiler

[cursive crater]

||yes but shortcut and four fingers need you to play spefic hands, while this joker is used for many reasons other than hand types||

[floral mural]

ugh

blue seal versus gold card is pain

but blue seal so good

[quartz ember]

the answer, ||whether you like it or not, is read the rules||

[floral mural]

and i already have 1 gold card already so uhh

[rapid atlas]

Thanks showman...

[unreal iron]

||i cant think of anything else other than easier flushed for smeared hello? like ig the ore jokers?||

[cursive crater]

nah, i still think it should be ||other||

[unreal iron]

||most definitely should stay hands/discards||

[cursive crater]

||seeing double, blackboard||

[unreal iron]

||its not like oops||

[floral mural]

games mean i cant scale my red card if it keeps giving me goated packs

[unreal iron]

||btw it indirectly affects them so i still dont think it should count as other||

[floral mural]

and skipping purple seal is throwing so

[unreal iron]

||it literally makes a hand type easier to make thats it||

||if thats not hands/discards i dont know what is||

[quartz ember]

maybe, ||but then you need to change the rules first||

[cursive crater]

||its making jokers work easier too, and they have no correlation to hand types||

[unreal iron]

||yeah but my point is that this is an indirect effect||

||the ACTUAL effect is making flushes easier to play||

||so it gets the hands/discards i think thats pretty obvious||

[floral mural]

this blueprint seems tempting (yes i threw last run)

[raven oasis]

This has been the greatest run of my life, taking over 2 weeks to finish, hitting ante 39, and crashing the game from observatory, then I realized this is the average run doc does for a video

[potent tree]

naneinf with pair is wild

usually it's high card builds that naneinf

[raven oasis]

I liked pair more because it allowed me to play for DNA and parking without needing to immediately end the round with observatory

[potent tree]

fair play.

[raven oasis]

Also I did this run without disabling animations because it was on my phone

[zenith timber]

most stupid run

[potent tree]

what a strange sequence (though it seems you just barely made it)

you ankh'd wee i assume?

negative banana with stencil too is wild

[zenith timber]

yep and ecto the banana haha

[raven oasis]

W mans

[potent tree]

you ecto'd banana as a last resort i hope

[raven oasis]

Should've ankhd the banana

[zenith timber]

terrible luck with jupiter too

[zenith timber]

yes

[potent tree]

ankhing banana won't give you multiple cavendishes

you need showman invis or ankh on cavendish for that

[raven oasis]

I know, but it'd be FUNNY

Which is all you need

[potent tree]

nah balatro is a no fun game. you either pairmax or die.

thunk is like big brother, watching over us and saying "i will ensure everyone becomes a pairmaxxer!!"

[raven oasis]

I know all about pairs lmao, I've heard doc preach them so much I've gotten naneinf 7 separate times with them

[nova matrix]

Guys is it too late to Balatro max

[raven oasis]

Thunks gonna make us a pair of pants for our pairs

[potent tree]

7 times? damn (i haven't done a single naneinf run)

[raven oasis]

I've done naneinf with all methods (chicot bug was brainstorm modded) except for the bean bug with idol (and the ankh and ecto with all the jokers but I did it with stencil and Cavendish)

[nova matrix]

Lovely pull

[raven oasis]

Goat start, I love ancient

[nova matrix]

Ancient joker is my favorite joker

Nothing else compares in my eyes

[vocal rose]

anaglyph naneinf

[nova matrix]

I’ll be back soon

[vocal rose]

have you done that

[raven oasis]

Didn't know that was a thing

[nova matrix]

Let you know it goes

[raven oasis]

So no

How do you do that?

[vocal rose]

lots of luck

[raven oasis]

What do you need?

[quartz ember]

time to naneinf

[vocal rose]

lots of skip tags and then the handsize voucher

[potent tree]

hologram.

[nova matrix]

Which ones that

[raven oasis]

Oh juggle tag you mean?

[potent tree]

0.25 xmult per card added to deck

[vocal rose]

yes

[raven oasis]

I did it with cola on plasma

But anaglyph I haven't

[potent tree]

if you have both marble and certificate

free 1.5 xmult per ante

[raven oasis]

I don't think I've lost a run that I got holo before ante 4

[potent tree]

if playing ghost deck getting incantations

[vocal rose]

.5

[potent tree]

.5 per round, 3 rounds per ante

[vocal rose]

I mixed them up

oopsies

[raven oasis]

Prolly thought round I assume?

[potent tree]

you can also copy them for more

[nova matrix]

Just pulled chico

[potent tree]

if you have 2 copy jokers .5 xmult more per round

[quartz ember]

nice

[potent tree]

i like to call him

CHICKEN STRIPS

[nova matrix]

I have no quarrels with chico

But he’s not my favorite

That belongs too the king and queen mult my beloved

[potent tree]

a lot of people here vilify trib

[modern panther]

Chips, anybody?

[raven oasis]

If I want fun it's perkeo, if I want consistency I pick my boy ricky

[raven oasis]

Chips only ante 8

[nova matrix]

Which ones Ricky

[raven oasis]

Yorick

Gain x1 mult every 23 cards discarded

[nova matrix]

I had him earlier today

[severe arch]

"You see em you play em" ahh deck 🥀

[raven oasis]

I got 19 souls in all of my runs today

[raven oasis]

"What'll you play"

"I'm not sure let's see what I got"

Nooooo not that card specifically noooo man this was such a good run not that card nooo

cerulean bell rn:

nvm no tenor right

[digital knoll]

hello jokers

i need some help

[night turret]

How does one build a straight deck?

[digital knoll]

i want to do a mod by myself
how can i do that

[night turret]

And is it possible for plasma deck?

I somehow got 3 straights in a row

[digital knoll]

runner+blue joker

[night turret]

And it would be a shame to let speed runner go rn

[molten thicket]

its easier on plasma i think

[digital knoll]

its pretty good but you have to scale your runner joker

[night turret]

What is blue joker

[molten thicket]

+2 chips for each card left in deck

[night turret]

I understand that, but would it be easier to scale with the jokers I have rn?

[night turret]

Oh that, it was eternal last shop

Had to skip it

[molten thicket]

wdym

[digital knoll]

sell the pair joker so riff raff can give an odd Todd

[night turret]

Ohhhh yeah let’s damn hope

[foggy osprey]

That's not that good

[night turret]

But it’s also got foil?

[molten thicket]

its pretty good

especially on plasma deck

[foggy osprey]

Oh

[night turret]

Egg might be better to sell

[severe arch]

from my understanding: choose a set of cards to be your go to straight, delete all other cards

[digital knoll]

i mean
you heav riff raff soo.. you need to sell something to work

[quartz ember]

well optimally you want the voucher and have played most straights

[foggy osprey]

I suck ass

[sullen lintel]

what do I sell here? erosion at +56

[severe arch]

which is why abandoned deck has players ig

[molten thicket]

i think you sell smiley?

[digital knoll]

face card

[quartz ember]

smiley

[severe arch]

eith rsmiley face or trading card

[tardy spade]

flower pot flush build when?

[night turret]

Best thing I got was a steel, put it on my king

[nova matrix]

I now have all the decks unlocked

[night turret]

Congrats

[digital knoll]

chicot is over hated for no reason

[nova matrix]

Chico can be clutch

[night turret]

It’s basically a unsellable Mexican wrestler

[nova matrix]

But he’s not my favorite

[night turret]

I forgot the name ngl

[molten thicket]

lmao

[digital knoll]

Luchador

[nova matrix]

Luchador bromine

[night turret]

Yeah that’s the one

[sullen lintel]

do I drop rebate for invis

[digital knoll]

my point is, if you don't like it, doesn't mean you should hate it

[night turret]

Alright I’ll come back in a bit

See if the straight build works

[molten thicket]

yeah

[nova matrix]

Just do flushes

[digital knoll]

all the five legendary jokers are based

[nova matrix]

True

I still remember my first one with my first legendary

Destroyed face cards one

[digital knoll]

caino

[night turret]

I have speed runner

[nova matrix]

Yes canio my beloved

What’s speed runner

[night turret]

AND LETS GOO CANVI SO EARLY

[sullen lintel]

my first legendary was a canio and I went "man I dont want to destroy my face cards... those are good anyways" so i sold hi,

m

[quartz ember]

that would be horrible for the situation

[molten thicket]

do not

[digital knoll]

fun fact: he's the joker that killed his wife in stage

[molten thicket]

dont

[night turret]

15 chips for every straight hand

[sullen lintel]

I didnt even have a face card build I was doing a pants run

[night turret]

Why?

[nova matrix]

Oh word

[molten thicket]

actually take it

[molten thicket]

you have a chips build rn

[nova matrix]

Turn it into a royal flush build if possible

[molten thicket]

but maybe later you'll pivot

so take it

[digital knoll]

get castle if you playing on plasma

[molten thicket]

you should pivot to mult in lateante plasma anyways

[night turret]

I will when I find one

[quartz ember]

yea absolutely take cav, you are already taking straight levels so you have the base mult, if you get another xmult you just pivot

[digital knoll]

you're a green lantern fan?

[night turret]

LMAOO

[nova matrix]

The greatest superhero you’ve never heard of

[night turret]

What’s pivot mean?

[molten thicket]

switching

[night turret]

Oh switching builds?

[quartz ember]

yea

[molten thicket]

like you sell your chip jokers to take mult jokers

[digital knoll]

But joking aside, he's an underrated hero of writers and fans alike.

[calm turtle]

The intrusive thoughts took over

[molten thicket]

oh my god

[sullen lintel]

holy free baseball card value

[sullen lintel]

thank you baseball card and pants

[digital knoll]

sad that he's never got a film he can easily be the deadpool of dc

[digital knoll]

take them

[sullen lintel]

I just got 3 money hits on lucky card

[calm turtle]

Wait a minute

You dont think…

[nova matrix]

Guys

It’s about to get better

[quartz ember]

[tardy spade]

[fickle mesa]

[quartz ember]

[digital knoll]

fun fact: the wheel is actually 1in5

[fickle mesa]

honestly a little boring in its strength

[fickle mesa]

its 1 in 4

[nova matrix]

Damn it.

[tardy spade]

now you can disable bosses twice

[quartz ember]

nice, time to get some hand size

[tardy spade]

gain permanent hand size

[nova matrix]

Wait huh

What do I do

[quartz ember]

even got the retcon right there

[indigo hazel]

Thanks to Chicot - 2nd win

[nova matrix]

Yo what is Arthur Morgan doing

[quartz ember]

just need some money

[nova matrix]

Dawg go back to Tahiti

[tardy spade]

gg!

[sullen lintel]

do i sell blueprint for lucky cat

[quartz ember]

no

why would you

[tardy spade]

it's endless now, do anything you want

[sullen lintel]

you right

[sullen lintel]

baseball card value

[indigo hazel]

I died already due to coughing

[modern panther]

Dear god

[quartz ember]

3rd baseball card is baseball card value

[sullen lintel]

I ended up selling it because I wanted the lucky cat

holy third nat negative

I passed by like 3 photographs maybe another will turn up

[nova matrix]

Okay it’s dead

The run died

[sullen lintel]

im giggling

[nova matrix]

Sometimes it’s like dat

[quartz ember]

nice bye bye trading card and erosion

[raven oasis]

Guys this is my 3rd time crashing vanilla tonight :(

[nova matrix]

Yo what do I do here

Real talk

[quartz ember]

dnadnadna

[raven oasis]

Sell dna

For money

[quartz ember]

(not)

[nova matrix]

Are you tripping

[raven oasis]

Or take a speculative photo

[nova matrix]

I love DNA

[raven oasis]

Useless at the start

And the end

[quartz ember]

2x score is more money either way

[nova matrix]

But like this early, I can make early flush fives

[quartz ember]

can you draw them

[raven oasis]

Also not to mention if you get an enhanced card it can get buried

You may never find it

[quartz ember]

the answer is no

[solemn flume]

hi guys

[nova matrix]

Hi

[quartz ember]

helo

[solemn flume]

just bought the game

[nova matrix]

Welcome to addiction

I should be sleeping rn

[raven oasis]

Me too

[solemn flume]

gladly

[raven oasis]

It's 3 am and I have work at 6

Atp playing balatro like an idle game with how long it takes

[vale mesa]

ok unlocked my last legendary joker

[raven oasis]

Goat, now win with my GOAT

[sullen lintel]

every pre-blue-stake run on this game is like crack

[solemn flume]

farthest i got for my first day was ante 6

fun game

[raven oasis]

I had a gold stake naneinf run that took 3 weeks, never once got bored

[quartz ember]

good start, too much +mult, but money situation looks good

[raven oasis]

It just takes practice, took me about 3 hours to win my first run, if you want a good vod channel I'd recommend roffle lite, his channel is solely gold stake runs atp and he's consistently able to put out high level builds.

If you want to learn however, Dr. Spectred is the option to go with, his channel name is balatro university and the name speaks for itself, he's also so good that if he wants a record in this game it takes him like 4 runs

[solemn flume]

thought mult was a good thing

[raven oasis]

Yeah I noticed that too, and wrathful and greedy together are a bad pair

[quartz ember]

yes, but if you have 10 chips and 20 mult, whats better, 15 more mult or 50 more chips

[raven oasis]

There's +mult and theres x mult, one adds, the other multiplies, x mult is how you get to endgame, but +mult and chips are MUCH better early

[solemn flume]

good point

[sullen lintel]

end of the line

this run was sick

[raven oasis]

Early game mult examples:
4x2=8
4+15=19
Late game mult examples:
125x2=250
125+15=140
I had to lower the numbers but you get the point
@solemn flume

[sullen lintel]

im gonna do another one and die on ante 2 and lose the high

[raven oasis]

Nah, ante 39 run next

I believe

[sullen lintel]

next run blue stake

hell naw

[solemn flume]

thought ante only went to 8 then you like, win or something

[sullen lintel]

you do

[raven oasis]

Hardest spike in stake difficulty

[raven oasis]

There's an endless mode

[sullen lintel]

and then you can choose to play endless if you want

after 8

[raven oasis]

But at ante 39 the game can't comprehend the numbers and asks you to score something impossible

[solemn flume]

jimbo is my favorite character

[raven oasis]

W pick

[sullen lintel]

the rest have shitty arcs

i get it

[raven oasis]

Trading card my beloved

[solemn flume]

wait is he a playable joker later on?

[vale mesa]

well you can score that much but you'll lose anyway because any comparison with it returns false

[raven oasis]

Yeah, you can get naneinf but it'll still kill you, I've made it there 4 times simply because I couldn't bring myself to do 5

[raven oasis]

No sadly :(

[vale mesa]

now get -nan

[solemn flume]

im refunding

[raven oasis]

If I could I would

[solemn flume]

/j

[raven oasis]

W answer

Kill the addiction before it starts

[sullen lintel]

holy gold loot

[solemn flume]

if i want to get addicted i want to get addicted with jimbo

[raven oasis]

Realest answer, though according to balatro lore Jimbo is the original, and all jokers come from him :3

So everyone is Jimbo

[solemn flume]

JIMBO GAVE BIRTH?!?!?!?

[lost vault]

ba la tro !!!!!

[raven oasis]

TO 149 DIFFERENT PEOPLE

[vale mesa]

bloodstone is my favourite (not the best, obviously) uncommon joker

[raven oasis]

Bal atr o.

[solemn flume]

thought there was over 150?

dont tell me...

[sullen lintel]

I think its like 160
