[pale wolf]

that's a real Chad

[candid niche]

the pseudo comes from retriggering glass cards to emulate photochad

[tame kiln]

Hey guys, what do you think? My first billion! 👀

[candid niche]

...or, yeah, we can just get photo

laaaaaaaaaame

[pale wolf]

fauxto chad

[candid niche]

we beat the run anyway so i'm not gonna force myself to go on

alr pack it up

....man

non-perishable challange is a joke

BRO

WTF??

[distant vault]

Here win

[candid niche]

i mean i guess bro

[crimson hinge]

oh well, it was fun while it lasted

[uncut matrix]

should be fun

[paper skiff]

Monyee

[distant vault]

"Ante 1 flash card is bad"

[paper skiff]

Flash card is like, a once in a blue moon joker for me

Seen it like once and never again

[distant vault]

I don't see it often

But when I do

I take it

[candid niche]

what a nothingburger of a boss blind

[zinc hawk]

Anyone having the issue where their balatro crashed and now won't open on steam?

[full glade]

What a natural negative

[candid niche]

amazing

[zinc hawk]

Like at all? Im playing on steam deck

I got a crash message in game

[candid niche]

madness? in my Non-Perishable Challenge run?

[cloud sinew]

are you running modded?

[wicked sable]

is it too late to pivot?

[zinc hawk]

No

Restarting deck

[cloud sinew]

have a look around in #1200105253559873707 , if you can't find the same bug reported by someone else then you should make a new bug report and hopefully someone will reply who knows the solution

[zinc hawk]

Working now actually! Idk what was happening but restarting fixed it

[full glade]

Should i take it?

[zinc hawk]

Will keep in mind in the future tho

Oh nvm

[undone igloo]

whats gonna be better

mime or baron

[candid niche]

oh no, anyway

[candid niche]

world's most false binary

BAHAHAHHA

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[full glade]

It couldve been great

[visual flax]

hmm

question

im playing high card ace, right

and my hologram has 6x multi

bp is better with hanging chad here or with the x multi

[serene forge]

sell photograph

[candid niche]

o7 to the world's easiest challenge run

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[pale wolf]

@serene forge prove it

[drifting token]

someone pls help me save this run when i play 2 king and 2 jack im 1k chips off is there someway to maybe optimize my joker order or something?

[serene forge]

how

[pale wolf]

idk

[pale wolf]

nope, doesnt look like it

[mental bloom]

Uhhhhh, hello?

It's not the erratic deck seed with Spades 10 only

[night turret]

We are the ten of spades, choose if you dare

[mental bloom]

Loll

[fiery nymph]

thats actually interesting

which one did you pick

[mental bloom]

I picked the gold one

[fiery nymph]

yeaa

[mental bloom]

MORE MONEY

[shell rock]

new highscore… on my former 8-ball run

all i’m missing is more negatives and red seals, but i didn’t find a SINGLE spectral pack

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[signal frigate]

Do you have glass?

Or a polychrome?

[visual flax]

I lost💔

[signal frigate]

But did you have one when you were still alive?

[visual flax]

I don’t remember

I might have had 2

[signal frigate]

If not then it wasn't a good idea to copy chad

[gentle island]

Finally finsihed ghost deck and now Im 8/15 🥳

[vocal sun]

just got double sigil in a spectral pack

so that sucks but ima pick it bc im dumb

wait i just got 2 emperors from emperor we so back

[solemn tide]

I won

[vocal sun]

jokers es no bueno y yo muerte

god damn i cant remember spanish at all

[solemn tide]

insert walter white I won gif here

[vocal sun]

just got 4 hermits in 1 shop thats huge, not all from the top section obv

[placid shore]

should i just sell chicot for hermit value

[vocal sun]

nah

trust

[rocky tiger]

What if the plant comes up

[nova matrix]

Guys I need help

[vocal sun]

w what

[meager root]

What do I even do atp
My bloodstone is stacking my mult and that with dice and business card is a really good mult and econ but I just got sock and buskin should I just leave it in the shop

[nova matrix]

Sorry my phone crashed

What’s the move here

[vocal sun]

tbh i think js skip

[nova matrix]

I mean photo Chad isn’t doing as much

My flush is like level 30

[vocal sun]

holy

then get photo out of there

[nova matrix]

Word

[meager root]

I’ve got really good jokers but I’m dog at the game and now I don’t know what to keep

Bloodstone + dice + business card is super good but then I also have photochad

Idk whether to sell one for sock and buskin

[hard timber]

finally made it!

[meager root]

Help

[nova matrix]

We’re at 2 billion btw

[vocal sun]

probably card if you gonna take sock

[blissful fog]

Sell Chad or the business card if you have lucky cards

[vocal sun]

fire

[meager root]

Do u think it’s worth bc business is giving me a ton of money every round

It’s 2 in 2 for $2 on top of chad

[blissful fog]

You have lucky cards that is another form of econ cuz of the ops

[meager root]

True

So sell business keep bloodstone dice photochad and sock

[blissful fog]

Yep

[meager root]

And then wait for a blueprint or brainstorm

[blissful fog]

Yea

To replace the photochad

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[meager root]

Ok cool 26 mil on ante 7 im chilling

[meager root]

Bloodstone dice heart flush though

It’s 1.5 to the power of 5 x mult even without chad and sock

[blissful fog]

For a decent base mult yea

[serene forge]

no it's not

[formal apex]

What's the move here?

[meager root]

It’s 1.5x mult for every heart bc of dice so 5 times

And then the retrigger on the hanging chad is an extra 2 retriggers of 1.5x mult

And sock is an extra 5 triggers

[blissful fog]

Sell both baron and rebate and buy both

And hope that the invisible hits either blueprint and brainstorm

[serene forge]

nope

[serene forge]

sell baron for invis probbaly

[meager root]

Are u daft

[serene forge]

that's with dice dummy

[fiery nymph]

dude gross

[meager root]

I said with dice

[fiery nymph]

get that off my screen

ewww

bro

sell it

[serene forge]

sell the ph*tograph too

[meager root]

Bro I’m waiting for a green needle

(Brainstorm)

[blissful fog]

Why tf is photo censored

Doesn't make any sense to me

[heady narwhal]

i think they censored it by putting an asterisk in place of the o, using a keyboard

[blissful fog]

Yea ik that but why censor it

[heady narwhal]

that's not what you asked but i think it's a joke about how photograph is garbage

[blissful fog]

Fixed it

[placid shore]

never mind thank you chicot for giving me my first gold stake win 🥹

[white forge]

I got 400 x $50 eris

[meager root]

Got unlucky with money this time but u get the point here

[blissful fog]

Noice

[mortal summit]

Ripppp

[serene forge]

I hate BLoodstone

[meager root]

What do I even do atp

[serene forge]

red stake

[meager root]

I have bloodstone as 2 in 2 on flush 5 lucky kings and also photochad and also retrigger all face cards

Do I remove chad and blueprint the retrigger all cards

[fiery nymph]

this sure is something

[serene forge]

remove bloodstone

actually

remove photograph

[fiery nymph]

remove everything

try again

[meager root]

If I remove photo then I can rely on chad and bloodstone and retrigger sock for mult

So remove photo because retriggering sock triggers more bloodstone?

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5

[woven spire]

chat is it worth taking photo heree? i might sell stm

ive been hard stuck in orange stake ghost deck im desperate

[uncut matrix]

i wouldnt

the xmult would trigger before all your +mult

[serene forge]

what the hell does photo do here

it sucks

[woven spire]

im just desperate tbh lol

[serene forge]

don't pick it

[woven spire]

yh, thx

[slow epoch]

Why is it that when I’m playing a normal deck, I always get foil tags instead of holographic, but I can never get foil on plasma deck

[serene forge]

foil is good anyways

chips are good

[shell dagger]

Confirmation bias

[fickle mesa]

both tags suck but if any were to suck more its holographic

[serene forge]

yeah if youre considering foil or holo tags we have bigger problems lol

[fickle mesa]

"why are they seriously feeding me horseshit but then when i play the horse deck they feed me camelshit. the problem here is the variety of shit i have access to obviously"

[woven spire]

mayyyyyybe?

[shell dagger]

no

[serene forge]

invis sucks

[fickle mesa]

okay but would it suck here

[serene forge]

yes

[fickle mesa]

if u have a reasonable amount on the supernova and enough levels i would take it

[woven spire]

not really tbf

[fickle mesa]

2 supernovas and a card sharp are a free win and thats the bad case scenario

[serene forge]

keep in mind you are sacking strength immediately for not really a particularly good gain

[serene forge]

eye:

needle:

[fickle mesa]

oh yeah those ones

forgot abt those

[woven spire]

yh i didnt pass none of those yet

[fickle mesa]

i guess ur right

[serene forge]

id look for like blackboard or something

[woven spire]

i am, just not having any luck w that

[fickle mesa]

ya leverage ur money from the rebate to get u chips and anything for boss blinds

and stall out ur supernova make it grow as much as possible each round

[fickle mesa]

unless ur chips are already taken care of but im assuming if ur describing urself as desperate on ante 4 theyre not

[slow epoch]

In my defense, unless I’m playing anaglyph, I only skip ante 1 small blind

[fickle mesa]

dont?

you get money and a shop

[woven spire]

yeah, they ar not at all

[fickle mesa]

shop 1 is one of the most important shops in the game

[woven spire]

i have telescope, so its a matter of time

[grizzled lagoon]

I’m early game round 5 I have smiley face and 2 other shit jokers. Running green deck red stake. I can choose between parei or bootstrap. which one do I take?

[fickle mesa]

what are the other 2 jokers

if ur considering parei then i need to know what the other 2 jokers are

[timber lichen]

Whats parei again?

[fickle mesa]

unless its baron or delayed gratification chances are theyre better than parei

[grizzled lagoon]

Jolly joker and holographic lusty joker. I’m gonna sell jolly and keep lusty for the time being for the 10 mult

[slow epoch]

I’m doing plasma deck right now, in general, when should I start getting mult over chips

I got through white and red stake with just a shit ton of chips, but that’s not really working on green

[fickle mesa]

whyyyy would u sell jolly

unless if its for an interest cap

personally id try and grow the boots

[grizzled lagoon]

Exactly

Alright

[meager root]

Best run so far started playing this week

[terse vale]

drivers license is S tier

no way it isnt

[fickle mesa]

s is a lot

[timber lichen]

It's A tier for me

[fickle mesa]

its strong but as strong as cavendish or blackboard? nah

[terse vale]

ok nevermind I don’t wanna do this I was trying to ragebait

I don’t have it in me

its like mid B

[fickle mesa]

that feels a bit low id say at least high b

[timber lichen]

It's good xmult tho

[slow epoch]

I mean, if it’s working, it’s good

If it’s not it’s bad

[fickle mesa]

just because xmult is so powerful

[terse vale]

wus gonna say but mid B also feels good

[tall mirage]

Son😭😭I started playing 2 weeks ago my best hand was 70k 😭😭

[terse vale]

tru

and you should be trying to enhance cards anyways

[terse vale]

and it also usually activates near the end of the mid game, aka when you actually need Xmult

fuck I can’t ragebait anymore fuck

[meager root]

Idk bro I used bloodstone and dice and business card early game and racked up a ton of money with lucky cards

[grizzled lagoon]

Ooohhh wasteful voucher or abstract joker cause this is last chance for the voucher

[fervent wolf]

Ggs rip

This run was cracked

[terse vale]

I can tell nothing but the truth

[fickle mesa]

do u have 25$

[meager root]

Moments before disaster

[grizzled lagoon]

Who me?

[fickle mesa]

wasteful is very much a luxury item you dont need the extra discard

[fervent wolf]

I love walkie talkie

[grizzled lagoon]

Alright

[terse vale]

i’d need a lot more than just two clauses

[timber lichen]

Walkie carry

[fervent wolf]

Yes

I played 10s and 4s

Literally flush house madness

Glass cards made it more op

[grizzled lagoon]

Is swashbuckler good, it seems good with egg but doesn’t seem to have much potential otherwise or if your late game

Unless you got some crazy expensive hand

[terse vale]

its okay for what its meant to be used as

though, abstract in that category is just a better swashbuckler

its fun to do gift card or egg runs though

[grizzled lagoon]

Yea. I’m currently running these five, only on round seven

[cobalt talon]

Ok I guess

[past locust]

Which one should i take🤔

[stable condor]

think i overdid it a bit

[atomic trout]

A bit

[lunar zealot]

Careful now

[cobalt talon]

This game...

[lunar zealot]

ego kills many a man

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

and many people here tend to be overconfident till they get their shit kicked by jimbo balatro

[analog mulch]

Underrated combo, Oops and Glass Joker

[atomic trout]

Hit the Road Jack!

[frank raft]

underated combo, campfire and astronomer

[woven spire]

finally.

[humble hound]

kinda satisfying

[lunar zealot]

what am i looking at

[frank raft]

i beg of you to get famliy aswell

[humble hound]

i ate shit at the boss sadly LOL

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[frank raft]

me too

and my dad loves it for whatever reason

so many times i have to explain to him its not worth it to sell photograph in a photchad run for bloodstone with no oops

[atomic trout]

I hit the Road...

[woven spire]

what would fork say abt that card

[distant vault]

Here win

Flashcard haters would die here

[abstract rivet]

don't its a trap

[woven spire]

i love this game.

[distant vault]

NOOO

[abstract rivet]

10 money :)

[woven spire]

true but still kinda sad

[faint linden]

I found a not terrible use for Throwback: Anaglyph with Orbital on your most used hand

[abstract rivet]

but

thats a single .25x

[cobalt talon]

Time to sell one jorick

[abstract rivet]

thats not that much

[distant vault]

Poly skips are balanced

[vocal sun]

should i take chad for poly joker or no, im not always playing aces and idk if using my discards that early would be worth getting like 40 chips and 8 mult is worth it

[woven spire]

f yeah

yh i took bloodstone, greed.

[faint linden]

How did I just now discover how good Sock and Buskin is?

[terse vale]

well its bloodstone first off

and its rental

I mean the only choice to live is picking rebate neow

[vocal sun]

what do i do

[turbid lynx]

i just got 4 tens from incantation

[marsh dove]

First game back at gold stake for a while and a standard pack blessed me with a red seal foil 6

And a bunch of perishable DNA

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/755318974392041473/1456488192697172108/image0.jpg?ex=69588bd5&is=69573a55&hm=0424b27648cfe9ee108cad49e642ea1cf21458d44b553b7c4b1bfc906abb0f67&

And also the lowest skill joker lineup to ever do it 🔥

[slow epoch]

What do I sell here?
(Flush build, checkered deck, level 20 Jupiter)

[marsh dove]

If only I was this lucky every game

[vocal rose]

nothing you just win

play flushes

[marsh dove]

Why sell

[slow epoch]

Fair enough

[faint linden]

What mult is your Red Card?

[faint linden]

Verdant Leaf

[slow epoch]

12

[flint walrus]

rip run

[marsh dove]

Sell spade guy I guess but you live anyway

So it’d just be for gold value

[faint linden]

@slow epoch Sell Wrathful

[faint linden]

And Steel mult

[slow epoch]

Yup

Got it

I won

[marsh dove]

With that lineup and that flush level

[faint linden]

Still icing on the cake

[marsh dove]

They good

[marsh dove]

Fair

[vocal sun]

dude i just lost bc of the hook bc it kept discarding my aces wtf

[marsh dove]

The hook should be changed to reflect its actual ability
Discards whatever 2 cards you most want in hand

[vocal sun]

ong it was literally edging me by only discarding one ace so leaving me with the thin strand of hope that i could still get 2 from the draw

[marsh dove]

Every time I have a gold card going into this boss I don’t get to keep it lmao

[faint linden]

Me with Steel

[slow epoch]

-# buff hook to discard every ace, face card, and enhanced card

[vocal sun]

hell nah

just used 6th sense and got the one that makes them all a single rank and now i have a bunch of 6s

so thats nice

[faint linden]

Ouija?

[vocal sun]

yeah

[faint linden]

Playing with Anaglyph for the first time

[vocal sun]

its fun

had a shit ton of negatives my first run but like thats pretty standard thing to do if you use it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[faint linden]

It makes Throwback slightly less terrible

[vocal sun]

why its fun with dice

you just dont know it hornet

[ancient gyro]

it technically makes it worse since you're now more conservative with your double tags

[faint linden]

Joker that needs a specific deck, another specific Joker, AND pray that you don't meet The Head to work deserves to be hated

[serene forge]

anaglyph encourages doing one big skip, if at all

not multiple skips

[atomic trout]

No need to sell Jokers

[ancient gyro]

forcing an overall lower ceiling in addition to doing something you dont generally do in the first place for consistency purposes

[slow epoch]

Every time I get spare trousers I always wonder why it doesn’t trigger off of 4+ of a kind

Like I get why it doesn’t but like… I have 4 kings
I have 2 pairs of kings

[ancient gyro]

info sheet specifies two different ranks but is not consistent with alternative poker hand comparisons outside of it

[lapis blade]

"a yorick is just a yorick but a brainstorm can be anything, even a yorick"

[turbid lynx]

Gem alert

[white forge]

New highscore

[terse vale]

what

[serene forge]

here win

[serene forge]

you have two pairs

not a two pair

therefore no pants value

[vocal sun]

shit or ass ah selection

[turbid lynx]

i guess two pair is supposed to mean two different pairs

[vocal sun]

uh huh

[serene forge]

that is the definition of a two pair yeah

[vocal sun]

hornet should i just hold r here or what

[stark karma]

rebate being common and statellite being uncommon boggles me a little

[distant vault]

Flash my goat

[white forge]

Barry Allen?

[vocal sun]

mmm eternal egg or cartomancer i wonder what ill take

[atomic trout]

Another pyrrhic victory..

[vocal sun]

ok i fucked it up with a misclick already

[icy hollow]

Nice and casual lvl 44 pair run

[vocal sun]

how do people get that high level of stuff that fast

[turbid lynx]

i hate this game

[lunar zealot]

You have 44 dollars man

[turbid lynx]

what does that have to do with anything

[lunar zealot]

?

[icy hollow]

Sgouldve been 50but i kept forgetting to sell tarots 🥀 so they blocked blue seals

[lunar zealot]

make glass numbered cards and use chad to retrigger them

and then bones saves you

[vocal sun]

oh alr

[lunar zealot]

next time overspend if you're going to die

[turbid lynx]

[vocal sun]

bruh

i dont want this mf again

[turbid lynx]

jumbo

[vocal sun]

gaybo

id like it if space joker could work but i guess it hates me

[faint linden]

I just won. Had 3 tags and found an Orbital for Pair in Ante 8 to get Pair to level 14, synergizing with my Negative Half Joker

[serene forge]

probably

[vocal sun]

way too late bromigo

[serene forge]

what's the problem

[vocal sun]

read the message after

[serene forge]

why not

[vocal sun]

also wtf is space joker doing

thats right, absolutely fucking nothing

[serene forge]

punishing you for not playing pairs like you should be

[vocal sun]

im straight

[serene forge]

also you skipped with space joker for a fucking polychrome

[vocal sun]

look above

[serene forge]

so

ye

[vocal sun]

i see polychrome i click

thats how i think

[serene forge]

and you indeed got a polychrome

you should be grateful

[vocal sun]

im not bc its on a mid joker

[still raven]

finally managed to beat Plasma Gold Stake. That's all the decks! And I even did so with a Chips build, rather than a xMult one

[serene forge]

you didn't sign up for a super joker

you signed up for a poly joker

[slow epoch]

Chat what do I sell

[vocal sun]

good observation

[slow epoch]

I’m thinking the celestial joker

[serene forge]

astro probably

[acoustic kettle]

Astro

[faint linden]

What's that second Joker do?

[still raven]

free planets

[acoustic kettle]

Free planets

And celestial packs

[faint linden]

Sell that

[still raven]

which at this point you have money so you are probably safe to drop it

[slow epoch]

I got it because it was decent for scaling my constellation, but yeah

[still raven]

if you had less money I would probably sell Chad

[slow epoch]

We got a yorick

Sold the astronomer

[serene forge]

gg

[faint linden]

I love when people hate on Chicot then pray for Luchador to save them from a bad Boss

[still raven]

yeah I like Chicot

[faint linden]

Me: Remind me why you hate Chicot

[still raven]

I think the biggest thing is, he is less exciting than the others

[fickle mesa]

especially when they really dont need luchador

[fickle mesa]

hes more poorly designed but objectively great

[serene forge]

true

[acoustic kettle]

He is great

Just boring

[still raven]

meanwhile I like Yorrick a lot, especially with a lot of discards

[faint linden]

Perkeo is my favorite though

[serene forge]

i laugh when people are so ready to throw in the towel when they get the plant on a photochad build

its like theyre allergic to glass

[still raven]

I had a great run the other day where I got Merry Andy, so I was able to pump Yorrick up to like x9 or so

[still raven]

well, or they just haven't gotten any

[ancient gyro]

couldnt be me

[faint linden]

Perkeo > Triboulet > Chicot > Canio > Yorick imo

[serene forge]

skill issue

if they didnt suck at econ they'd find at least one

[acoustic kettle]

Triboulet should be last

[still raven]

no tribolet is good

[fickle mesa]

ah i see you used the wrong greater than/less than symbol

[faint linden]

Trib + Sock or even better, Photochad

[ancient gyro]

opposite day from spongebob squarepants

[white forge]

New money highscore

[acoustic kettle]

True

[serene forge]

trib is the middest legendary because it's inconsistent

it has very high ceilings but that doesn't matter for winning

[fickle mesa]

tbf it hits more often than i think people make it out to be

[serene forge]

it's a good joker for sure

[fickle mesa]

if u have decent pair levels its an x4 on base mult which is solid

[serene forge]

but the least consistent legendary

[acoustic kettle]

Soul
Triboulet

[fickle mesa]

just the weakest of the 5

[serene forge]

which is a problem when you can't pick legendaries

[acoustic kettle]

Sad

At least it is 10 dollars

[ancient gyro]

on average it can still be an a tier performer with the existence of blue seals

you just happen to get pranked

[acoustic kettle]

Playing 3oak face just to simulate photochad

💔

[ancient gyro]

for one less joker slot 👅

[faint linden]

Unlocked Glow Up and Rough Gem that run

[icy hollow]

W ragebait

[faint linden]

Yorick takes too long to get going

[acoustic kettle]

1x mult per ante

[faint linden]

Blue Stake and higher make it harder to use (except Red Deck)

[acoustic kettle]

The most consistent legendary

[shadow shore]

Ooooh lalala

[slow epoch]

Wdym yorick is clearly the best because if you’re playing red deck with merry Andy, Drunkard, wasteful, and recyclomancy you can do it every hand

Or round

Sorry

[ancient gyro]

1.3x* 🤓☝️

[covert storm]

So like I feel confused. I would love to make all my cards into like lucky or glass 2, but I don’t know how to. I can’t seem to get enough money

[slow epoch]

Have you considered interest? Or since you’re playing anaglyph take an economy tag

[hard mantle]

i must get ride the bus

ride the bus or ride the bust

[slow epoch]

Abandoned deck is fun

It’s like blue where it’s generically good

[modern panther]

Just. Play. Pairs.

[slow epoch]

You draw your enhanced card more consistently

[covert storm]

I try but I end up buying something so I don’t have anything

[atomic trout]

The hell is that?

[hard mantle]

high card best card

any run that i am able to make a high card build, i make a high card build

[modern panther]

?

[slow epoch]

Save up early, and treat $25 like it’s $0, unless you really need it

[covert storm]

Intresting

Okay

[slow epoch]

A single mult joker should carry you through the early antes

[covert storm]

Okay I’ll try that

[hard mantle]

unless you're me and restart if you feel a runs vibes are off lol

[atomic trout]

[flint siren]

Hey, does anyone have that one Hollow Knight meme where it's a photo of a man sitting on a bench with a badly beaten up face but he's smiling and the upper text says: Hollow knight fans when they get the crap beaten out of them and they wake up on a bench with no money.
The bottom text says: "HELL YEAH"

[modern panther]

YouTube

[hard mantle]

ladies, it's been an honor

the earliest i could have possibly gotten ride the bus

now lets hope i dont fuck this up

[abstract rivet]

Bussin

[hard mantle]

and supernova, i think the game is begging me to do high card

[modern panther]

...

[atomic trout]

Take it 😄

Do what I do 😄

[ancient gyro]

2oak*

[hard mantle]

i have no idea what that means :3

[modern panther]

Win secured

Hopefully

What order would get the highest score for the joker

Should brains storm the chad?

[hard mantle]

what do i sell. i cant sell the credit card and the ice cream is at +80 chips

[hard mantle]

im by no means a pro but, what hand are you playing?

[modern panther]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[hard mantle]

i presume high card?

[covert storm]

High card

[hard mantle]

personally id have brainstorm on chad, but like i said im pretty new

[hard mantle]

this is really difficult. the ice cream is temporary but it's helping a lot right now. the rocket COULD go away but it's really nice for my econ

[shadow shore]

Fellas

Any ideas

1.5x heart stone is died to oops all 6

[hard mantle]

screw it. im getting rid of rocket

[shadow shore]

My other option is hanging chad but its chad

[acoustic kettle]

Triboulet

[shadow shore]

Never think again

[acoustic kettle]

Was gonna say cert but it is eternal

[shadow shore]

Is it the day i am skipping blue print

[acoustic kettle]

Trib for halfies

[shadow shore]

I need one of the math nerds

To do me right

[hard mantle]

i need to get a x# card and something that boosts my chips..

[shadow shore]

🤔

[acoustic kettle]

If you play flush 5 bp is more score than chad

I think

[hard mantle]

this is literally almost the best possible outcome

[acoustic kettle]

Trib hc

Just get rid of it atp

[hard mantle]

okay the gros went extinct, time to get the cavendish

[edgy ivy]

Me saying this knowing it'll never show up

[hard mantle]

LMFAO

i also really want photochad...

[covert storm]

I don’t get this, it made sense, but then I got lost

[hard mantle]

god

i love ride the bus

[edgy ivy]

Me when I don't wanna pay for gas

[hard mantle]

true

cant wait to move to a city with actual public transport !!!

[atomic trout]

Let one King in

[atomic trout]

I suq.

[atomic trout]

No fair.

[edgy ivy]

How I will request entrance to my home after forgetting my key in the unlikely event I find a romantic partner

[edgy ivy]

You suck me?

[atomic trout]

I'm not entirely sure, haha

[atomic trout]

No 🤣

This is an embarrasing loss

[covert storm]

I wanted the 400$ joker…. Or should I pop all those negative jokers???

[edgy ivy]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[atomic trout]

This is awkward..

[edgy ivy]

LETS GO GAMBLING!!!

[covert storm]

So get the 400!!!

[edgy ivy]

Both? Both. Both is good

[hard mantle]

if we werent in debt we could have sold the credit card and bought this </3

[covert storm]

Okay king

[candid niche]

who do i copy? supernova is at 56 high card, and constellation is only 1.7x

[vocal sun]

id figure constellation bc itd be double and constellation isnt

[candid niche]

and Stone Joker is 1150 chips

[edgy ivy]

Neg bp trust

Remember

99 percent quit before their next big win

[hard mantle]

run may be dead at ante 8 :(

[modern panther]

Ladies and gentlemen. We got em.

[vocal sun]

or stone

[hard mantle]

violet vessel....

playing all of our hands will get us like, at best 100,000 chips

[candid niche]

i think i can actually sack contstellation for invis...

[hard mantle]

GG gang

was a pretty decent run

[edgy ivy]

It's 100000% hitting stone 😭😭😭

[hard mantle]

</3

[candid niche]

we lost to The Eye

[edgy ivy]

I think you might be cooked bro ✋😔🤚

[candid niche]

tf is your aspect ratio

[strange panther]

yeah idk if im gonna make it past ante 8

[vocal sun]

yeah wtf

[edgy ivy]

21:9

Got it first try 😁👍

[strange panther]

21:9 ultrawide

[atomic trout]

Moldy Banana

[dark cairn]

this is why i always open early buffoon packs

[strange panther]

bro

[edgy ivy]

That's THE run bro

[strange panther]

the question is

do i get 4 barons from the invis xd

[hard mantle]

oh hey!

[strange panther]

deck has already been pretty set for a while now cause hex deck makes that easy

[hard mantle]

chicot

[narrow igloo]

was it chicot...?

[narrow igloo]

im sorry for ur loss

[atomic trout]

Sometimes I wonder why or what I did so very wrong.

[edgy ivy]

It's a bum ahh chicot I just can't prove it

[hard mantle]

its chicot

[strange panther]

time to rip it

place your bets

[edgy ivy]

Fellow based chicot hater spotted

[narrow igloo]

...

what does based mean?

[strange panther]

it was brian

[vocal sun]

holy dna and brainstorm in round 2

[karmic jetty]

8 jokers away from C++

Finally got Mr. bones done

[strange panther]

triple baron triple mime on ante 10

[vocal sun]

i better not throw like i do every other time

[strange panther]

like

buh

[edgy ivy]

Hmmm
I don't really know how to put it into words

[narrow igloo]

uh okay.

is it a good or bad thing

[vocal sun]

holy shit what is this run

[strange panther]

if something is based, it's pretty pog

[edgy ivy]

Good😭

[narrow igloo]

okay!

[strange panther]

if it is based it usually is something that is a good opinion or theme

[covert storm]

I got a lot

[hard mantle]

basically it's a word meaning that it's something that the sayer thinks is correct and good

[hard mantle]

can sometimes be used ironically of course

[narrow igloo]

oh okay

yea chicot is so sad

[strange panther]

idk where it started but i know early on it was like having opinions that might be controversial to some eyes but is a duh, like people would say based if a popular person said trans rights

[edgy ivy]

I see a rebate
Worth it

[narrow igloo]

becuz you find a soul and get all giddy then its chicot and you wanna end it bro

[hard mantle]

like a shocking amount of meme culture, it started because of right wingers

[edgy ivy]

The king and his harem of chads

[hard mantle]

reasons why i love high card:
you dont have to care what you play

reasons why i hate high card:
rng can decide your life is forfeit

also chicot did just save the run lol

[narrow igloo]

its not reliable for long term at all

and it is by far the worst legendary

[hard mantle]

i only need to get to ante 8, im just trying to get all of the basic decks done on white stake

[strange panther]

as soon as i get some ideal vouchers

i cant yet because im going from 27 to 132 dollars per hand i must hold

[serene forge]

yall say this shit then cry when plant comes to kill your baron build and you don't find a luchador in time

[hard mantle]

this build sucks ass, select blind anyway?

[narrow igloo]

ive never had a bad timed plant boss blind

[serene forge]

not appreciating the consistency chicot brings really does say a lot about someone

[serene forge]

yes you have

[narrow igloo]

its always in the beggining antes

[serene forge]

don't lie

[narrow igloo]

ive never lost a run to the plant

[serene forge]

plant isn't the only boss in this game

[hard mantle]

thanks. this is really what i wanted.

[serene forge]

im just using that as the example because everyone treats it like fucking kryptonite

[narrow igloo]

i know but most people loose to it easily

[neon sluice]

solid early scoring tbh

[serene forge]

jolly jonkler is good

[narrow igloo]

thats valid

[edgy ivy]

Why search for a lunchador when I already have directors cut ✋😔🤚

[strange panther]

fuck my life

i sold the ecto thinking id just pick iot up later

[atomic trout]

I'm Rich! 🔥

[serene forge]

because you don't get a directors cut every game lmfao

[strange panther]

😭

[hard mantle]

i dont doubt that, but im running a high card build

[edgy ivy]

Hey you ain't me you don't know that

[strange panther]

i want to take the bplueprint, but right now i have 2 brainstorms. i can hold and blueprint can show again

it hurts to roll it

[hard mantle]

was this worth possibly killing my run over? probably not

[edgy ivy]

It's a brainstorm bro trust

JK it's obelisk and it won't even be poly or negative
🥲

[hard mantle]

dont call me bro plz

/nm

eugh obelisk

i dont doubt that its as good as people say but i hate micromanagement

yeah... shouldnt have gotten that greedy

[edgy ivy]

The hells this mean

[hard mantle]

not mad

[edgy ivy]

Aww I thought it meant negative madness 😢

[hard mantle]

true....

[edgy ivy]

/jkijyycalb

[hard mantle]

i guess four of a kind build it is?

[edgy ivy]

Uhhh hack bloodstone build

[hard mantle]

its so peak....

[hard mantle]

perchance, i dont think i even have bloodstone

[vocal sun]

just rerolled a shop and the 2 jokes flipped positions

tf

i mean i was thinking about taking one of the jokers either way i just wanted to use my free reroll bc im curious like george

[edgy ivy]

Bro was NOT a good little monkey

[covert storm]

I might of made a mistake 🥲

I’ll delete the dna??

[vocal sun]

what in the world

[covert storm]

Or should I keep DNA??

[slow epoch]

Do I sell the swashbuckler for a duo?

Oops that was an awful picture

[covert storm]

Not sure tbh

[slow epoch]

Or actually I would probably sell abstract

[vocal sun]

dude i just realized its ante 5 and ive had this hologram since like ante 1 and its still at 1.0x

also its eternal

[strange panther]

this is the furthest ive made it before

[edgy ivy]

You'll be cooked if you don't start making them steel jus saying ✋😔🤚

[candid niche]

i got astronomerprinted

[strange panther]

and next ante is e26 so im cooked unless this shop with $1000 works out for me

[strange panther]

both packs in shop are standards and i dont have the extra consumable slot so i can only get 2 more steel which i dont think will get me an extra 2 e

[edgy ivy]

I feel you man I get wrathful trolled almost every game

[strange panther]

need to find an excto in the shop and then probably blueprint

FUCKS SAKE

found a blueprint before ecto

[hard mantle]

if rngesus is kind, this card is going to show up a lot in our arcana pulls

[edgy ivy]

Bro you're getting 12 bucks a card there's no way you don't find a single steel in the shop

[heavy heron]

does this win

i can’t tell

[strange panther]

i can make steel, but i can only do it in the round

so max 2 steel cards

because there is no way for me to convert steel before next stake

[edgy ivy]

Yeah ig you shoulda been doing that a while ago
Well you might be cooked, my good lad

[covert storm]

I lost

💧🥲

[strange panther]

ya probably

i got $400 left at $40 a reroll and no ecto yet

ecto with $190

which is like

not even 4 rerolls

so gotta pray i get something pog

and nope

welp

[candid niche]

welp.... i guess i can sack chad? hes common, so i'm sure i can find him again

[strange panther]

gg

also mj lol shop didnt have a single chariot anyway

[edgy ivy]

Well, I must away
I shall leave you with my wise words of wisdom

"All femboys are twinks, but not all twinks are femboys"

                      -MRMJ

[candid niche]

best option would be canio, since i don't have queens or kings for trib

...or, yeah, that works

[strange panther]

Can we get an f in chat for this wonderful run that is my new highscore

[slow epoch]

Do I sell wrathful for card sharp?

Or do I already have enough xmult

[strange panther]

o7

MF7L38JZ

[candid niche]

welp, 5oak scaling is fixed now

hopefully i can find observatory

....unfortunately, someone has to die

i guess i can drop baseball?

[slow epoch]

Kill the dice unless you’re going endless

You don’t need money

[candid niche]

i want to go endless for funzies

i am winning before Baseball even triggers thanks to sock and lucky cards

[slow epoch]

Ok yeah, sell baseball then

[candid niche]

wait, maybe i can win with base 5oak + baseball?

let me calculate that

[slow epoch]

Do I sell wrathful for card sharp?

[candid niche]

oh yeah, i win with base 5oak + baseball

[hard mantle]

its over

the wall got us this time

[candid niche]

what a joke of a boss blind

what a great run, i guess

welp

[vocal sun]

idek wtf im doing but i pressed buy and use on the ankh and now its just sitting there

[minor portal]

this is a feature

[candid niche]

i was not aware that my deck was chopped down so small

[vocal sun]

i believe it dr unserious

[shadow shore]

😭

Holy stackeg

[safe moat]

The temptation is killing me

[vocal sun]

do it

trust

[safe moat]

Nah I’m saving to win big with showman : }

[fickle mesa]

since you are playing pairs yes

[slow epoch]

Bit late but thanks

I already won that run

[digital pewter]

why does mobile have to be so buggy

this didn't count towards getting plasma deck purple staked

now i have to do it again

[safe moat]

Get used to it

[digital pewter]

i already have

i just love to complain about it

[modern panther]

That's ggs

[manic zealot]

I love getting gold stake runs like this

[acoustic kettle]

175 dollars

[uncut matrix]

should i take dna here? is +3 hand size worth losing a copy

id say yes tbh

[acoustic kettle]

+2 handsize no

[uncut matrix]

isnt it +3

cuz dna and the 2 copies

[manic zealot]

it's worth it because of baron mime

and the other copy jokers

[uncut matrix]

thats what i thought

but i did the math and it said no

[manic zealot]

the increased hand size is huge for runs like this but I'm unsure if it's technically a little worse

since you'd be giving up a copy joker

if you need to make more red seals though, 100% take it

[uncut matrix]

i need my antimatter :(

[manic zealot]

fr

on my naneinf run I got very lucky and got a pre-ante 8 antimatter

I did not expect that

[uncut matrix]

ive not had a naninf yet

over 300 hours and i get stuck at like e30-e60 every time

[manic zealot]

a very specific cretieria of things have to happen for it to work, so luck is involved fs

I got very lucky

[uncut matrix]

ive had runs with ante 1 negative bp and ante 1 negative rebate and threw them

somehow

[manic zealot]

holy shit

well the problem with naneinf runs is usually not the jokers, it's the vouchers and spectrals

that is very good luck to get the nat negatives tho

but never enough for naneinf by themselves

it's always fun when doing these big endless pushes and seeing what nat negatives will show up

I made a ton of money once when a nat negative faceless showed up

[uncut matrix]

negative rebate and dna are huge

ive had both at once before

[manic zealot]

totally

those are very huge

rebate is especially awesome because it's such a good money generator and you usually will have to give it up for a showman or a copy joker or dna later down the line

[primal stirrup]

Nearly finished all my gold stakes and man black deck is painful

[manic zealot]

black deck took me weeks the first time I gold staked it

it's awful

[primal stirrup]

Dude I’m only on orange stake too

[manic zealot]

orange and gold are nearly the same difficulty so they're both very rough

[primal stirrup]

Yeah but still noticeable. This feels like divine punishment

[manic zealot]

it does

Idk if I can ever play gold stake black deck again, it just hurts

[primal stirrup]

Idk how doc did it jokerless

[acoustic kettle]

He's doc

[primal stirrup]

I think I’d cry in the face of such adversity

[manic zealot]

did he actually??

[acoustic kettle]

Yes

[primal stirrup]

I believe so

[manic zealot]

jesus

[primal stirrup]

Maybe not goldcstske

[acoustic kettle]

Jokerless black deck gold stake

[primal stirrup]

Ahh, there you go

[zinc osprey]

Does having a pair in your hand despite playing a different hand locks you out of getting this? Just asking

[manic zealot]

sounds like the opposite of fun

[manic zealot]

as long as it isn't a single pair you are fine

2 pairs and full houses are safe

if it did, the unlock condition would specify that you cannot play any hand "containing a pair"

[uncut matrix]

i need to start figuring out when to switch to steel :/

just cost me the run

[acoustic kettle]

Sounds like hell to unlock

[primal stirrup]

Me with getting glass cards

[acoustic kettle]

Basically just hc and flushes

[manic zealot]

yep

[uncut matrix]

sstraights

[zinc osprey]

Oh then I might have accidentally played pair when I was tryna unlock this and it didn't work

Thanks tho

[manic zealot]

I probably unlocked the Duo on checkered deck

I highly recommend that

play that deck and spam flushes and you should be golden

[primal stirrup]

Is that the unlock requirement for the duo then? Been too long since I looked at all the unlocks

[manic zealot]

ye

[primal stirrup]

I probably did this too ngl

[manic zealot]

just no normal pairs

[primal stirrup]

Despite hundreds of hours in the game, still two jokers I haven’t unlocked

Hit the road and I forgot the other one

[manic zealot]

is one of them the $400 one

that's the final one I got

[primal stirrup]

Satellite? Nah got that

[manic zealot]

ah ok

[primal stirrup]

I’ll need to check

[manic zealot]

seeing double is a bit of a pain

the 7 of clubs 4 of a kind one

[primal stirrup]

Ye that was rough

Hahaha I know what joker it is now

[manic zealot]

2 of the toughest for me were the unlocks for rough gem and onyx agate

[primal stirrup]

Rough gem lmao

[manic zealot]

how did I know lmao

[primal stirrup]

Yeah, I just have no interest in playing diamonds like ever

If I don’t unlock a joker naturally, I never will

Save for brainstorm ofc

[manic zealot]

it becomes much more possible with a lucky sigil card or a vagabond pickup

ya

[primal stirrup]

Oh 100%. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too painful if I went for it. Another econ joker couldn’t hurt

But this black deck is kicking my ass

[manic zealot]

it's honestly worth it, it's underrated

I enjoy a good rough gem pickup

[primal stirrup]

I’d likely pick it up most times early game so I don’t see why I don’t go for it tbh

[manic zealot]

it's very santisfying farming it with a copy joker

the clinking sounds are music to my ears

[primal stirrup]

Oh I bet, like when you retrigger golden ticket

[manic zealot]

absolutely

[primal stirrup]

Beautiful stuff

[manic zealot]

but it's even easier to use but less money, so it evens out

god this game is so good

[primal stirrup]

A dollar is a dollar, pays for itself

[manic zealot]

frfr

[primal stirrup]

My gf hates it when I play lmao

Calls Balatro the other woman

[manic zealot]

my ex gf tolerated it lmao

she bought me a jimbo plushie

[primal stirrup]

Awh that’s cute

[manic zealot]

oh and I got a balatro playing card set from her too

that was cool

[primal stirrup]

Oh hell yeah, that did look cool when I saw it advertised

[hard mantle]

id love to get that set but it doesnt have the high contrast colors

[primal stirrup]

Deadass me when my friends wanted to play Texas hold em

[manic zealot]

hmm that's fair

[primal stirrup]

Thought I had a flush. I did not.

[manic zealot]

the high contrast colors are a necessity for me

[primal stirrup]

Anything else is sacrilege

[hard mantle]

yeah the club and spade look too similar to eachother with default colors

[primal stirrup]

Gonna be getting a steam deck soon, yall know if modding on there is hard?

[hard mantle]

also the blue clubs are peam

[manic zealot]

I didn't even know if it was possible

[hard mantle]

nah. it's a PC

[manic zealot]

ig that makes sense

[primal stirrup]

I assume it is

[hard mantle]

it just runs steamos, its not even hard to change the operating system if that gets in the way

[primal stirrup]

Chroo

[hard mantle]

first buffoon pack, i think this is a restart lmfao

[primal stirrup]

How could I ever deface gabe’s OS though

[manic zealot]

true

[primal stirrup]

Two decent early game choices and a value generator

I’d take it tbh

[hard mantle]

ah whatever, ill just play it through

[acoustic kettle]

Shortcut

[primal stirrup]

Tbh none are bad

[manic zealot]

each of those are decent picks, I'd probably take the popcorn or misprint for easy early game score

[hard mantle]

is shortcut good?

[manic zealot]

it is good

[hard mantle]

i can pick two cards

[hard mantle]

alright, ill do uhhh

shortcut and misprint then

[manic zealot]

you absolutely could take shortcut

if you take one of the other scoring jokers too

[hard mantle]

actually wait

this is abandonded deck

[brazen island]

Misprint angle

[manic zealot]

sorry I forgot you can take 2 cards

[primal stirrup]

I’d probably do hallucination and misprint, but objectively shortcut might be better over hallucination?

I think

I just like hallucination ngl

[brazen island]

I think hallucination is objectively way way way better

[hard mantle]

nah, abandoned deck means straights arent as potent i think

[brazen island]

So much value generation

[manic zealot]

an early shortcut is excellent direction for the run

[hard mantle]

i took misprint and hallucination

[manic zealot]

good choices

[hard mantle]

did not expect any of those cards to be decent lol

[brazen island]

So does hallucination tbh

[manic zealot]

hallucination is honestly extremely good value

totally

many valid choices there, quite a good mega buffoon pack

[hard mantle]

devils house :D

[primal stirrup]

Not wrong there that’s for sure

[manic zealot]

awesome

[primal stirrup]

Clutching my holy water rn

[hard mantle]

okay, chat, thoughts on riff raff?

[manic zealot]

it's like top 10 best jokers in the game

hands down

[hard mantle]

hell yeah, my thoughts are confirmed :3

[primal stirrup]

Incredible

[manic zealot]

a riff raff start is amazing

it does so much for you

[primal stirrup]

It’s beautiful

[slow epoch]

Chat we might be cooking
Do I take the baron?

[acoustic kettle]

Hallucination lovers when it finally generates a tarot after 4 packs when carto gives 2 in the same time window

[acoustic kettle]

For what

[manic zealot]

I would honestly take baseball card instead

speculative baseball card > speculative baron

[slow epoch]

Good point

I’m going for a pair build
