[unborn cliff]

yeah

[valid ether]

These young hoes cook everything on high

I just like mixology

[unborn cliff]

if you're older than me then you're basically a sack of bones

[valid ether]

sob

Thats fair I guess

No point in sugarcoating it

My back has been hurting lately

[unborn cliff]

see you ARE old

[wintry ice]

free balatrodle

[valid ether]

I think these are not mutually inclusive

[unborn cliff]

yeah yeah yeah

whatever unc

[valid ether]

New identity unlocked

[unborn cliff]

its time for bed grandpa

grandxa

[valid ether]

it is 7pm for me

AND i have work

[unborn cliff]

yeah its time for bed for you unc

[grizzled lagoon]

I finally for the first time got my mult over 1000

[valid ether]

later

[nova matrix]

Words

Can’t even begin to describe how much I hate the plant

[valid ether]

I dont even think its the effect its just how it always manages to have impeccably bad timing

[wintry ice]

me with the green joker seeing double run in ante 5

[grizzled lagoon]

The way I got this actually is from running a atleast somewhat decent parei set

[valid ether]

Thats why you pick up directors cut

[nova elk]

aynone got tips? just started

[wintry ice]

most runs also resolve plant using glass or steel

[valid ether]

play game

a lot

[grizzled lagoon]

Lol

Yea I agree with that one

[valid ether]

watch someone play if you struggle to get a sense of what decisions to make

but ultimately its just developing game sense and making the strategies work for u

[wintry ice]

focus on saving money whenever possible

aim to always have 25$ in your pocket for interest

and don't pick up extremely inconsistent jokers like idol ans baron outside of endless

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[cursive crater]

too specific

[valid ether]

Oh no

[hard mantle]

and also ask questions here, i learned a lot abt what makes a good run yesterday

[cursive crater]

just understand the game first

[dreamy creek]

how to get better: calculator

[grizzled lagoon]

Question, how does one gain lots of negative jokers early save wise, cause I don’t have too much unlocked

[dreamy creek]

that's the neat part, you don't

[grizzled lagoon]

lol fair enough

[dreamy creek]

it's a 0.333333333333333333% chance

[valid ether]

Theres no real point in lots of negatives unless you aim to copy good jokers or for the meme

[dreamy creek]

per joker in the shop

[grizzled lagoon]

I’m constantly seeing tons of people in here with like 7-8 Negative joker’s

[valid ether]

Deep in endless despair

[hard mantle]

skip blinds with negative tags, otherwise its luck

[viral ledge]

mmmm banana

[valid ether]

ghost deck helps

[hard mantle]

or spectral cards

[valid ether]

I just like ghost deck

[hard mantle]

cavendish is fun cause itll usually stay

but not always

and that not always is terrifying

[valid ether]

I lost my cavendish once

[grizzled lagoon]

I lowkey completely forgot about the tags …

[valid ether]

so far

[viral ledge]

yea its a 0.01% chance it dies

[valid ether]

Negative tags are usually not worth it tho

Imo

Hm I must get ready for my old person job

[heavy heron]

wtf look what i just found in a card pack

i already have 4 of those

wild spade gold seal 3

that exact card

that’s crazy

[wintry ice]

red circle vs blue circle who will win

[slow epoch]

I have found truly so many immolates

My deck is at 46

[grizzled lagoon]

I’m done for

[languid kite]

I believe you are referring to the limited time Toothless Soaring Slush: a Sweet dragonfruit slush with a milk cap.

[marsh needle]

New highest hand level best outside of white stake (in 8 antes)

[hard mantle]

balatro was the game that taught me that, if you really think about it, an ace and a 2 are basically the same card

[marsh needle]

Ante 8

Ante 12

[hard mantle]

is there a way to see your records?

[marsh needle]

I wiiiish

[serene forge]

what

[marsh needle]

First time ive gotten triple digit hand level

[quartz ember]

what records

[marsh needle]

Things like highest hand level, highest scaling on x joker, etc

[serene forge]

nope

[marsh needle]

Theres only a few in stats

[hard mantle]

(my main build is high card)

[quartz ember]

balatrostats has some idk if it has all the highest stuff

[marsh needle]

I thought i left my flush days behind but that game alone had like 60 flush planet cards used 😭

[nova elk]

damn, what are the odds, first hand all cards were turned upside down, and pulled two pairs of 6/6 and 5/5

[valid ether]

pairs ❤️

[nova elk]

frfr

can someone explain please which 'copy' does it mean?

[shell dagger]

the next time you skip it’ll give you 2 of the reward

[quartz ember]

copy, i.e. a second instance of the tag

[quartz ember]

yea thats a way better way of saying it lol

[nova elk]

ohh gotchu thx

no other turn lol

[quartz ember]

though I'm still perplexed as to what the other copy would be

[heavy heron]

don’t you just love when your license is on 14 and you roll down desperately 4 times and find nothing

and die

[thick junco]

Black deck making me lose my mind

Tips and tricks please

[quartz ember]

try to be more persistent

also scaling jokers and dont be affraid to take mid jokers if they at least pay for themselves

[serene forge]

black deck is just hard

-1 hand is really bad

riff raff and burger are super strong on black in particular

[thick junco]

It’s worse for me since I’m so used to the Blue deck

[serene forge]

what stake is this btw

if it's black+ then you can more safely take early garbage eternal jokers because of the extra slot

if you need them to stay alive

[floral mural]

god taking stm feels bad here but no mult is too big an issue to overlook

building for two ranks is hard

and idk how id fix for it

[nova elk]

no flush for me ig lol

[floral mural]

or which to prioritize is a better question

[nova elk]

first hand

[serene forge]

build into queens probably

[floral mural]

yeah definitely queen focus and just play 2s if they show up

[serene forge]

since wee is scaling you'll retain the chips and have a pretty good chip source for stm

hopefully you don't get planted

[jade arch]

Is this a good joker combination?

What other jokers should I add?

[severe arch]

Something for chips

[nova elk]

why it won't let me use it?

[severe arch]

You forgot to select the cards

[nova elk]

oh

[late pulsar]

Today I learned that Ceres, Eris, and Pluto say dwarf planet instead of dog just planet and Planet X says planet?

[nova elk]

jeez first hand

[heavy heron]

this game is ridiculous like there are runs you don’t even have to try like this with a final amber boss

and other runs where you’re scrambling for just one good joker and barely scraping by just to run into vv

[main walrus]

Guys, I need advice to win the challenge double or nothing

What do i do

[toxic wolf]

The bisexual build (somehow both hearts and spades build??)

[heavy heron]

well it only debuffs the card, meaning only jokers that need on-card scoring will be affected (think photograph, +3 mult on suit, fibonacci, hanging chad)

so you’ll want jokers that don’t rely on card scoring

such as, say red card (it will give you mult unconditionally, no matter what hand or card you play)
or constellation, or hologram— none of which get affected by the cards you play

[white plank]

I think I did something wrong

[toxic wolf]

Now only missing orange stake on checkered to unlock all decks.

[toxic wolf]

how the fuck does this happen

[main walrus]

ok

[gray plaza]

Is it worth selling Supernova for Ramen here (Green is at +40 and Square is at +40

[white plank]

Well I was fidgeting around in game.lua

[heavy heron]

what’s your square joker at

[gray plaza]

I stated in that message it's also at 40

[heavy heron]

are you surviving?

[gray plaza]

Yeah

[heavy heron]

how many hands does it take to win

2? 3?

[gray plaza]

In fact Card Sharp might prevent me from farming

[heavy heron]

if you’re surviving, supernova keeps scaling alongside you

[urban edge]

are my jokers good?

[heavy heron]

ramen gets worse progressively

so ironically it may seem to help in short term

[gray plaza]

I won't be discarding like at all

And double Green at +40 too

[heavy heron]

true but i think there are better x mult options

i mean the thing is

if your build is surviving

you don’t need ramen because supernova will keep scaling

imo i’d keep your build

until i find smth better than ramen

if not just win with just that build

since your entire build scales

square, supernova, green

you get progressively stronger in every way

[flint walrus]

lmfao perfect baron mime build all i need is a neg showman and ectos

[heavy heron]

yup!

[gray plaza]

Alright

[jade arch]

Luckiest ankh in my entire life

[sudden river]

I'm struggling to beat the golden needle challenge deck

[hard mantle]

sell all of your jokers
you dont need them

[nova elk]

when i'll want to discard cards?

[urban edge]

do i sell my hanging chad? i got blue print in shop

[coral drum]

I must.... spaceman max

[rugged bloom]

Has anyone tried scoring 5318008 on Balatro

[floral mural]

verdant leaf whatever will i do (a rare sticker is good this late on the journey) i got tier 2 boss reroll i can just reroll to acorn

[pale wolf]

i would, yea

[floral mural]

even with only fixing for 2s when queen fixing wasnt availanle i got nearly 500 chips without foil

sillt

4 uncommons 1 rare and 8 commons left thats good

guess what rare is left (hint:related to a bad hand)

[jade arch]

Fuck. What do I do when I reach 2/2?

Cause if I sell vampire and supernova, sure, that would leave me with a 50% chance of an amazing double joker

[pale wolf]

is supernova important

[jade arch]

No, not at all

[pale wolf]

cuz id just sell it and take the gamble for vamp/yorick

[jade arch]

Imma sell both vampire and supernova

Cause I have no mult on it

[shell dagger]

Holo vamp is prob worth keeping

[thick junco]

Ight so um

This is the deck I currently have

It kinda does the job for black deck

[coral egret]

[thick junco]

Worth grabbing anything?

[coral egret]

your deck already looks like a mush

might aswell grab that acrobat

[thick junco]

Does the job

What do I replace

[coral egret]

even steven

[thick junco]

Done

[flint walrus]

do i use the second ecto?

[thick junco]

Replace anything?

[quartz ember]

nah

[tranquil steppe]

I assume you’re not on ante 3 or less?

[thick junco]

6/8 as of right now

[tranquil steppe]

Yea don’t swap then

[quartz ember]

you'd have to sell dna and you dont need 2 ectos in the first place

[thick junco]

Alright sounds good

NO I'M SO FUCKED

[white plank]

Does anyone have tips for an "optimal" joker order?

[unborn cliff]

copy chad for greed

copy trib for score

[white plank]

I think joker stencil is better to copy

[unborn cliff]

sell stencils because they are x0

[white plank]

No they're not

[nova elk]

should I replace any?

[unborn cliff]

hmm i see

trib is still vastly more

[steel hedge]

wht do i sell

[white plank]

It's not

[unborn cliff]

actually no

get sock

[white plank]

I'm not using sock

[potent night]

show ur deck

[unborn cliff]

how many chads is trhat

[white plank]

There's 6

[unborn cliff]

6?

opk

[tropic umbra]

if you don't wanna take it to endless mime

[unreal iron]

mime

[unborn cliff]

@white plank i think trib is more

[steel hedge]

i just sold dna brh

its over

[unborn cliff]

mime

[potent night]

mime is an option for u

u can sell it

[steel hedge]

i forgor to chariot a king so all i have are dang gold card

💔

[white plank]

I have 23 tribs if I count copying cards

[thick junco]

I died

[steel hedge]

also im not getting baron bhr

[unborn cliff]

that is the math for 1 trib

[thick junco]

Bro had to be nerfed

[white plank]

How do you count chads

2 extra per chad?

[unborn cliff]

each is 2 triggers

theres 6

so 12 triggers

or am i stupid

[white plank]

12 triggers

[unborn cliff]

assuming you play 5 cards

[white plank]

So it's 13

That's 12 extra triggers

[unborn cliff]

are you playing 5 cards

[white plank]

Yes

[unborn cliff]

so 2^17

2^16 is still more than stencil anyways

[white plank]

How would we count that

[unborn cliff]

5 triggers

2^5

[white plank]

No how do we count the tribs

[unborn cliff]

im just doing the math for 1 trib

[white plank]

Yeah

So multiply that by 23?

[unborn cliff]

then we ^ it for every trib i think

[white plank]

It's x2

Not &2

^2

[unborn cliff]

is it

i dont know big number math

[unborn cliff]

2 tribs is ^2 is it not

it scales per trib

wait no so it is x2 still

[thick junco]

How is this possible

[unborn cliff]

2 4 8 16 32 64

right?

[thick junco]

Mod?

[white plank]

No mods

I just edited game.lua

[unborn cliff]

hes just good

[unborn cliff]

you can do that

[serene forge]

gold cards are better anyways

[white plank]

Yeah you can do that

[unborn cliff]

so you can manually edit joker slots

but you cant edit music files

whatever bro

"you" as in the player

not "you" as in discord user pinebob

[white plank]

Here's what it looks like

Without any jokers yet

[unborn cliff]

wow

how did you even do this arent all the files encrypted

[white plank]

Use 7zip

[unborn cliff]

where do you even find game.lua

[slow iris]

in the executable

[unborn cliff]

nordvpn

[white plank]

Let's test it out

[analog estuary]

WHAT

[white plank]

Oops, I forgot to put the copy jokers on the Trib. Let's see how it worsk anyways

[grave pawn]

what do we think about this run? was able to do it with ankh and two invis jokers

[white plank]

I think I'm gonna hit naneinf on ante 5

[digital pewter]

bro's just goated like that

[white plank]

Actually I'm pretty sure I installed a mod that displays everything as an e instead of going into naneinf

[tropic umbra]

i have beef with perkeo

they like to show up instead of the good legends

[digital pewter]

crazy econ management we can only ever strive to match

[tropic umbra]

(im an ante 8 player mainly)

[white plank]

Yep. I agree.

[unborn cliff]

i reinstalled 7zip after like 2 years do i have to restart my computer for it to do stuff

[white plank]

Idk

[serene forge]

at least it aint trib

[tropic umbra]

why is he there

[white plank]

Trib is so good

[tropic umbra]

trib is miles better than perkeo in an ante 8 run

[digital pewter]

just wanted to say hi

[tropic umbra]

reasonable

[white plank]

Ok

Im selling all of my cards that have a buff like polychrome

They look weird and I don't like it

I guess I have to get rid of a brainstorm

[tropic umbra]

just looked at the old effect of burnt joker

[white plank]

I just used 70 eris cards

[tropic umbra]

it gained 1 hand size for every 4 tarots or planets sold

imagine how busted that would be in the modern play scene

[white plank]

Should I make Hanging Chad a legendary?

[kind creek]

Hand size honestly kinda goated

[kind creek]

i think chad deserves the unusual title

[white plank]

He just wants to say hi

[kind creek]

same as photograph

[unborn cliff]

what if you used 3 less

so it was 67

[white plank]

67 should be left in 2025

[unborn cliff]

nah

[white plank]

Wait

[white plank]

Wait

[kind creek]

exchange complete, better not flood chat with memes

67 is moldy imo though

[unborn cliff]

sending my whole downloads folder.......

[wispy hound]

hey yall, i have the game center version of balatro and have had it for a while, im thinking of just buying the 10 dollar game, is there any way to transfer my save?

[white plank]

This just looks nice

[kind creek]

sadly I don't know

[unborn cliff]

not as of right now

[serene forge]

me when i lie

[tropic umbra]

me when I tell truth

[atomic shard]

Sup

[unborn cliff]

balatro has no cloud saving outside of mobile saving

[kind creek]

I am for trib here

[tropic umbra]

genuinely what can perkeo do by ante 8

nothing

[wispy hound]

damn okay thanks

[serene forge]

print 20+ dollars a round

[unborn cliff]

we are praying that thunk adds cross saving in the update

[terse vale]

bait

[unborn cliff]

hi hornet

[terse vale]

MEGA BAIT

[atomic shard]

Uh

Idk

What to chat

[tropic umbra]

ok I guess if you get hermit

[toxic wolf]

i have somehow put a solid amount of time into this game and yet i can't hit a single million chip hand

[tropic umbra]

or temperance

[white plank]

I think I might die

[toxic wolf]

honestly disappointing

[tropic umbra]

but that's the only use i can see

[toxic wolf]

20 hours in and no luck

[kind creek]

with perkeo on the team, temperance oftne comes out to over 20 too

[atomic shard]

Oki

[unborn cliff]

x mult

[white plank]

I can give you a fairly easy build to copy

I got it by ante 5

You should be able to hit high scores easy with it

[slow iris]

truth

[terse vale]

deckfixing, planets, money
what can’t perkeo do honestly its at least a golden joker

[toxic wolf]

well i am interested

[white plank]

Ok. It's almost done scoring

[toxic wolf]

oh wait lmao i just realized

[tropic umbra]

the other legends are just better

chicot is chigoat
yorick steadily builds
canio can be built if I can FIND HANGED MAN
trib is good for like just to have

[toxic wolf]

it's the fuckin infinity trib deck

[white plank]

Here you go.

[tropic umbra]

it makes 1 (one) copy a round

[toxic wolf]

that's a tiny amount of money

[kind creek]

I am so happy to see chicot get the praise it deserves

[toxic wolf]

chicot got me my first win

[desert socket]

someone help me please i dont wanna lose, do i buy it or not

[tropic umbra]

money is the only use i can see

planets are too slow to build

[atomic shard]

Holy

[toxic wolf]

I feel like you're fine not buying it, you're trying to play your face cards.

[terse vale]

yea

thats good

[kind creek]

steel kings with 2 coptying jokers... That seems very tempting, but please check that arcana pack for a hanged man or a death to copy a king with. You need some more deck fixing before baron becomes safe

[tropic umbra]

would I rather have a perkeo than not a perkeo? yes, but not from the soul card

[terse vale]

also trib is the worst legendary

[tropic umbra]

no

[tropic umbra]

no

[terse vale]

how

[tropic umbra]

trib carried when I messed around on aleeb

[desert socket]

with the deck im using rn, is it best to go only 1 face card or go for duos/trios/quads

[atomic shard]

Btw , anyone who knows a good build for a glass card run ? I just love using them :D

[white plank]

Why can't I get a perkeo from rolling shops? I've rolled like 50 times

[unborn cliff]

canio is bad because hung men do not exist when you get one

[terse vale]

anecdotal evidence save me anecdotal evidence

[desert socket]

did just that, didnt find any of those so i used the tarot pack that gives me 2 random taro carda and got hanged man

[tropic umbra]

oki with high full house levels and a bit of deck fixing it gets x2⁵ mult

I think

[wintry ice]

seance carried qhen i was using bbc

[trail acorn]

new year new wee

[toxic wolf]

also chat is there conditions on unlocking these two stupid planet cards aka 5oak and flush five?

[tropic umbra]

the eye, good luck

[wintry ice]

how is this going to help my pair build

[tropic umbra]

play them

[tropic umbra]

it wont

[kind creek]

On second thought, if you're only going for the ante 8 boss, then photochad will carry you probably. Especially with brainstorm and bluepring
just shuffle them around so you get 3 photographs and 3 card triggers
Original photo + brainstorm + Blueprint
Original card trigger + Hanging chad + Chad again
I am an idiot and did not do my math right.
3×3 (9) I suggested here is less than your 2×5 setup (10). You are doing just fine.

[toxic wolf]

YOU NEED TO PLAY THEM? i feel profoundly stupid

[tropic umbra]

but it's not the WORST legend

[wintry ice]

which means perkeo is more versitile in what builds it's good for

[terse vale]

high full house levels
“bit” of deckfixing
well there’s your problem with trib like its not BAD but its just the worst of the bunch

[wintry ice]

trib also has many weaknesses like bosses and bad draws

[terse vale]

exactly

[white plank]

Is there anything I should add

[wintry ice]

which makes it need far more investment than the others

[tropic umbra]

so does literally every non effect joker

[wintry ice]

we're talking about legendaries, are we not?

[tropic umbra]

im still gonna be happier getting a trib than a perkeo if im not going for endless

tbf I had to sell trib for verdant leaf one time

[wintry ice]

again, do you have an explanation

[bold crane]

Goodness gracious

[desert socket]

ok i wont get king then i guess, how do i shuffle them tho? ive been wondering whats the best position for my jokers and couldnt think of anything better then the one im going with rn
also, do i go for high cards or hands with more then just 1 face card?

[wintry ice]

just saying you prefer one doesn't make it automatically better

[tropic umbra]

because for perkeo to be useful you need to get the right card from the shop or any generator

that needs a lot of money

which I'm not good at getting

[wintry ice]

and for trib to be useful you need what?

more than 1 strength, death and hanged man

[white plank]

Get The Fool and whatever card you need

[wintry ice]

sounds disingenous

[worthy elk]

hi

[tropic umbra]

i am not John Balatro not everything I say is fact

[terse vale]

really any tarot works
and for planets you can always try to block

[tropic umbra]

the star:

[white plank]

I've gotten two soul cards this run

[tropic umbra]

also what is blocking

[kind creek]

While the more base mult a hand has the more photo has to work with, pairs are alright because they're basically guaranteed. everything else might just not show up, even trios, much less a full house.
Flushes could be ok? 2 more mult per planet seems nice, but your flush might just lack the face, or you mught have a face and only 4 correct suit cards...
Get some planets to boost the base scoring, maybe a high preistess card in your pocket or the glass tarot in case of something like wall or violet vessel.

[wintry ice]

4$ per round is as good as golden joker

[indigo spear]

HELP

[wintry ice]

that's a good floor

[indigo spear]

BLUE MAN OR BANANA2

WHAT GET

[wintry ice]

send screenshot

[indigo spear]

BLUE MAN OR BANANA2

[wintry ice]

send the full screen

[terse vale]

when you hold consumables to make them not appear

[pale wolf]

or jokers

[tropic umbra]

that's not four dollars a round that's like 2

unless negative adds money

[desert socket]

noted, are the jokers placed in a good order? like, would i get a higher score if i change the order or thats already the best one

[pale wolf]

it does lol, for everything

[wintry ice]

it does add money

[indigo spear]

SCREENSHIOT LOADING

BLUE MAN OR BANANA

[serene forge]

do you use blue seals

[serene forge]

hi

[tropic umbra]

until you end up with 80 neptunes

yes you can sell them I just wanted an opportunity to dunk on straight flush

[wintry ice]

cavendish does more right now

[unborn cliff]

🐌

[indigo spear]

BUT ITS COMMON AND BLUE MAN IS RARE

[tropic umbra]

occasionally if I have the money to open standard packs

[pale wolf]

I'd take blueprint i think

[wintry ice]

just buy 1 so that they stop appearing

[indigo spear]

WHAT IF I GET BLUE MAN AND COMMON BANANA APPEARS LATER

[kind creek]

no no no, the copied brainstorm chad gives 2, so you're good. I counted your build as 2 photo × 4 card triggers while in reality it's 2×5. You're good.

[indigo spear]

OK

[tropic umbra]

were talking about perkeo

[indigo spear]

I GET BLUE MAN

[desert socket]

alright thanks bro

[wintry ice]

what forced you to copy neptune then

[unborn cliff]

dies

[tropic umbra]

it picks a random consumable

blocking means holding the consumable

[wintry ice]

sell it when you get something better then

[tropic umbra]

im not good at the game i just don't like perkeo

[pale wolf]

perkeo should choose the leftmost consumable

[indigo spear]

I DIED

WHO TOLD ME TO GET BLUE MAN

[kind creek]

hold up, he's cooking

[indigo spear]

DIE

[pale wolf]

me but you suck

I said what I would have done not what you should do

[indigo spear]

SOUNDS LIKE

YOU ARE BAD ATT HE GAME THEN

[pale wolf]

no, you are because you're the one who lost

[indigo spear]

FUCK

[pale wolf]

SMH

if you were going to die by taking the blueprint then you should have known that tbh

[ripe gull]

rip perkeo black stake ecto ankh balencing

[pale wolf]

wouldn't it be better

no rng

[ripe gull]

yea i mean like

rip the skill it needs lol

[pale wolf]

macro at least

yea

[ripe gull]

i think it would just be balencing

and very easy then

[pale wolf]

bigger steps

faster slope

big trucks

giant mud pits

[turbid nova]

Honestly hanging chad is too good to be a “common” joker

It’s better than most of the uncommon ones

[serene forge]

i went to a courthouse and had to shut my phone off bro

[pale wolf]

rarities are only loosely viability based

[unborn cliff]

why are you at a courthouse

arrested for being too gay 💔

[serene forge]

because my grandparents are assholes or something

[unborn cliff]

curious

[pale wolf]

imagine going to court

#severalwarrantsformyarrest

[wintry ice]

is there a courtrestaurant

[hollow ferry]

yes you just have to get the death penalty and order whatever you want
you even get it for free

[wintry ice]

awesome

[pale wolf]

nothing but the tooth

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[toxic wolf]

[serene forge]

NO

[pale wolf]

[toxic wolf]

[pale wolf]

this is so fucked

[nova elk]

lets go, what a crazy run

[toxic wolf]

it took objectively too long to write this

[pale wolf]

and you messed up

[toxic wolf]

damn it

[pale wolf]

smh

[toxic wolf]

i'm not even going to fix it

[serene forge]

ewewewwwewewewew

get it off me

get it offff meee

[hard mantle]

at the therapists office

[toxic wolf]

straight jokering it?

[hard mantle]

gay jokering it

[wintry ice]

remove half of the bloodstones

[hard mantle]

need to figure out how to explain roguelikes to my therapist

i hope they know what they are

[forest birch]

It's like super mario but random

[barren wigeon]

but not like super mario

[distant vault]

Flash my goat

[forest birch]

Dissimilar to a super mario

[hard mantle]

thats an awful explanation. you have to sell the next cavendish you buy

[silk hull]

shop 2 negative mail in rebate and I can't even buy it because I'm playing BLACK DECK

[forest birch]

A Cavendish just went extinct for me actually

First time

[hard mantle]

HA

[distant vault]

Let's gooo

[hard mantle]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[distant vault]

[forest birch]

It's okay tho cus I unlocked seeing double that run

[hard mantle]

new legendary joker: turn every chip into .000001 dollars, rounding down to the nearest whole number

[forest birch]

Why would I do that to your goat

[distant vault]

[hard mantle]

[glass marsh]

Am I considered "goated" as the Gen alpha say?

[forest birch]

It seams so

[hard mantle]

sell all of your jokers

you dont need them

[glass marsh]

But I've made such a connection with them

[hard mantle]

theyre just weighing you down

jokerless high card build is the future

[manic zealot]

pair gaming

[glass marsh]

I like just started the game (not really I have 6 hours on the game but compared to y'all that's probably rookie numbers anyway so)

[terse dock]

i have 93

[manic zealot]

it isn't a competition we're all in this thing to have fun and bond

[glass marsh]

Indeed

I'm surprised I haven't heard one thing about me being Deku yet

[manic zealot]

idk what that means

I must be uncultured or sthn

[terse dock]

gay ass

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[hard mantle]

actually this wouldnt be super hard to do if you got the right packs

[glass marsh]

¿Por qué, cómo, qué?

[manic zealot]

just get lucky lmao

[hard mantle]

batro

[terse dock]

tu es el homosexual

[glass marsh]

¿Por qué?

[forest birch]

This mf deku

[glass marsh]

🪿

[hard mantle]

new joker idea:

[forest birch]

[forest birch]

What does it do

[glass marsh]

But Goose

[hard mantle]

deletes a random card every turn. all cards are valid including itself

[torn pulsar]

New Player here. What should i blueprint and brainstorm for the highest Score?

[glass marsh]

Hope, faith, and prayer to the balatro God's

[hard mantle]

its basically madness but nobody is safe

[manic zealot]

for the highest score, you copy both on the photo

[hollow ferry]

hanging chad
make sure your first card is the polychrome, red seal lucky queen

[forest birch]

Does it have a chance to destroy the player

[manic zealot]

but, if you're lucky card farming you copy hanging chad but it isn't quite as good of a score as if you were to copy both on photograph

[spiral star]

Do I take drivers licence here? I am only at 4 cards rn

[hard mantle]

the player isnt a card i think

[manic zealot]

I would because you can build it up with the dna

[forest birch]

What if the player is a card

[manic zealot]

copy enhanced cards

[hard mantle]

then the player has to pray hate doesnt find it

[spiral star]

I think that is a good call, I have enough scoring buffer to hopefully get there. Hopefully some lucky cards hit the $20

[hard mantle]

sell all of your jokers

[torn pulsar]

Hmm you said Photograph and the other Guy hanging Chad, now im not sure 😁 guess i will just try it out

[hard mantle]

you dont need them

[manic zealot]

you'll see if you compare your scores

using one vs the other

[compact quarry]

Hey, question. I have 2 negative jokers. I want to swap out another joke, but im concerned that once i sell one of my other jokers (not the negative ones) that ill lose that slot.

[torn pulsar]

Bet, ty!

[compact quarry]

Will i be able to keep that slot to replace that joker?

[manic zealot]

once a joker is negative, getting rid of it will not grant a slot back

[compact quarry]

right so my jokers slots will go from 8/8 to 7/7?

[manic zealot]

but if you sell a non-negative joker you're totally safe your maximum joker slots won't change

[compact quarry]

oh so if i dont sell either of the negative ones i can sell one of my non negative one and the slot will say 8/7?

[glad shore]

what deck is good for getting shoot the moon

[manic zealot]

what does your slot count say rn?

[compact quarry]

8/8

[manic zealot]

it'll turn into 7/8

[hollow ferry]

well after further research it turns out copying photograph is better

[compact quarry]

okay thank you

[manic zealot]

abandoned deck

[valid ether]

Oh my god

[torn pulsar]

Yeah i just tested it. I got to e12 with Photo and e11 with chad

[compact quarry]

what should i swap out and for what? ive got $21

[manic zealot]

hmm one sec

[hollow ferry]

abstract for card sharp? whats your build here 💔

[modern panther]

Ggs

[manic zealot]

swap misprint for card sharp

[modern panther]

Holy, that was close

[compact quarry]

i didnt even know there were builds in this game, i just got it like a week ago.

[valid ether]

I just went back to the great seed i found earlier (see #🌱・seed-chat ) to replay it for fun. This is what I found

[hollow ferry]

what hand are you playing that wins you the blinds

[valid ether]

Lucky cat is on x7, drivers license isnt online yet

[manic zealot]

it's the most fun part of the game, seeing what builds you can make imo

[valid ether]

I reallllyyy wanna hang on to the invis

But a trib?

[compact quarry]

i just play whatever i think will score me the highest lmao...

[hollow ferry]

1/5 chance btw

[valid ether]

Ofc

[hollow ferry]

you know what sure why not

[modern panther]

Oh? Could a photochad save me here?

[valid ether]

Photo no chad?

[manic zealot]

as you play and get to the higher difficulties, choosing a hand type to build around, like choosing to play mostly two pair for example, is good for consistency

[terse dock]

No

[modern panther]

Probably not. I'd need a natural negative chad on the next roll. I can't afford to lose anything other than chicot

[slow epoch]

Yknow, I think I might have this one in the bag

[compact quarry]

ill eventually learn the game enough to know about builds, but for now im just hoping the gambling gods are with me

[valid ether]

Do i just sell out of invis immediately for the chance of trib

[slow epoch]

Don’t even have time to switch the blueprint over, I just win off the dna high card

[manic zealot]

if you play right you don't have to worry about rng as much

[hollow ferry]

you can always savescum…

[manic zealot]

it just comes with time

[compact quarry]

ill get there eventually

all in due time

[valid ether]

I dont have the means for that i think

[compact quarry]

im having fun so far

[hollow ferry]

[manic zealot]

thrilled to hear it (:

[compact quarry]

that card hates me

[spiral star]

Got it. Fingers crossed this could be my first gold stake win

[hollow ferry]

it hates everyone dont worry

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[compact quarry]

glad its not personal, i pray everytime i get it that itll love me for the first time

[hollow ferry]

may the oops! tempt you?

[compact quarry]

it never does

[valid ether]

It probably hates you too

[serene forge]

no

[valid ether]

But my speculative oops is loving it

[manic zealot]

I enjoy a good speculative oops

[compact quarry]

welp. im on violet vessel, wish me luck

[serene forge]

how about getting spec oops in anticipation of something useful

[compact quarry]

the highest ive ever been

[manic zealot]

you got this

[hollow ferry]

you can do it!

[foggy sun]

Does this run have naneinf potential now?

[valid ether]

? 1 in 2 chance --> 2 in 2 chance == not useful ?

[hollow ferry]

perkeo? yes

[manic zealot]

somewhat because you got an ante 1 perkeo

[valid ether]

We had this discussion earlier let me dial back

Its okaaayyyy

Ill take the soul now

[manic zealot]

you still need a decent amount of things to line up in order for naneinf to be possible though

[valid ether]

It was not a trib. It was my glorious king chicot

[full glade]

Do you think i take egg or business card

[foggy sun]

Yeah, It prob won’t because I’ll have to find a six sense/straight flush spectral joker, find a cryptid. Whilst also getting good scoring

[manic zealot]

I'd take the business card

[foggy sun]

Oh wait it’s ghost deck. I’m chilling

[latent egret]

you are on ghost

[manic zealot]

oh yeah true

[latent egret]

jmm

just make money

[manic zealot]

tru

[compact quarry]

only scored 100k out 300k

welp fml

[manic zealot]

aww

[foggy sun]

I thought I was on plasma for some reason

[manic zealot]

tbf violet vessel is one of the worst ante 8 bosses

you'll get em next time

[manic zealot]

cuz plasma is the naneinf deck

[modern panther]

So close to ante 11

[modern panther]

[hollow ferry]

leaf when you have all eternals (you went for a madness build)

[manic zealot]

I'm more scared of violet vessel tbh

[compact quarry]

and i really thought my jokers would pull through

[spiral star]

Guys I just beat gold stake for the first time 🙂 Cheeziest way to do it, checkered deck with 2 bloodstones

[manic zealot]

sometimes a glass card can come in clutch where the jokers don't and it can help you push to the finish line in cases like these

[serene forge]

just use ancient joker or (god forbid) photochad and cut out the middleman

[modern panther]

Leaf requires knowing where your scoring comes from. Vessel you just look for glass

[foggy sun]

Let’s go. Ante 3 blank is so clutch fr

[full glade]

I fucking hate this game

[compact quarry]

bout to buy wheel, lets see if it still hates me

[hollow ferry]

the classic mistake of going photochad flush on gold stake

[compact quarry]

yep

[serene forge]

most useful photograph be like

[serene forge]

play 3oak

[valid ether]

Ancient is only worth 1/4th of the time, photochad also works with bloodstone and oops

[modern panther]

There's no more avoiding it. It's the last deck I haven't blue staked

[valid ether]

Forced hate

[toxic wolf]

best use of a polychrome tag

[valid ether]

It all depends what build u go for

[hollow ferry]

gl 🫡

[foggy sun]

I sold it for gift card

[serene forge]

damn I didn't realize ancient joker has a 1 in 4 chance of giving 1.5x mult per card played

they should buff it to 1 in 2 that would be so much better

[foggy sun]

Damn this guy is worse than bloodstone

[valid ether]

1 in 4 of being the suit u want :/

[manic zealot]

ancient is fantastic

[valid ether]

Im not saying its bad

[foggy sun]

Wild card synergy

[manic zealot]

just keep an equal amount of all your suits and play flushes

[manic zealot]

that too

[serene forge]

if you're building one suit with ancient you are absolutely using it wrong lmfao

[manic zealot]

true

[modern panther]

Do I take a speculative spaceman?

[serene forge]

ancient using random suits gives it boss blind protection too btw

[full glade]

Holy nvm

[compact quarry]

man, i like this game so far but this shit got me taking a smoke break

[foggy sun]

This is factual information. Ancient on checkered and erratic is genuinely untakable imo

[hollow ferry]

ehhhhhh
id rather look in the pack

[valid ether]

Like I said it depends on what build u go for. Both jokers can do well depending on other jokers, deckfixing and all 100million decisions we make during a run

Im a flush defender

[manic zealot]

man lucky cards are being very kind to me this run

[modern panther]

What a bitch

[valid ether]

I like my oops + bloodstone + lucky cat builds

[manic zealot]

same

[modern panther]

Holy shit

[olive basin]

Reroll or take

[manic zealot]

definitely take

[serene forge]

stockholm syndrome

[valid ether]

You might be right about this

[faint linden]

I can never boost Pair/High Card enough on Purple Stake as I know I should

[modern panther]

We're almost safe

[slow epoch]

blue stake down on ghost deck
went decently far into endless, but i didn't find a baron and lost to a plant

[faint linden]

Only Green or higher I've ever won was Checkered

[slow epoch]

dunno, it was mostly luck

I got an early holo Blueprint, then got a burnt joker and cartomancer, ended up turning most of my deck into steel kings with a DNA, level 50 high card from the cartomancer, and eventually picked up a steel joker that was at like 14x when I lost

made it to ante 12

[modern panther]

What are the odds of getting two eternal scary faces in a row?

[serene forge]

50/50

[slow epoch]

oh yeah, when I lost my deck was like 72 cards, and I had a solid 40 kings

I also misplayed a ton and kept forgetting to double the cartomancer while selecting a blind

[fallow briar]

im about to try to get a flush 5 joker hand

[foggy sun]

I would say run is going well

I just can’t find the cryptid and it will kill any chance of naninf

[nova matrix]

Just cleared gold stake on my 2nd deck

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[toxic wolf]

i was doing a run just to try and get the flush five planet and somehow i won

[amber forge]

First run getting 2 souls, Canio is the last legendary I have without a gold sticker though so it doesn't matter much lol

[manic zealot]

yooo I love the cosmere holy shit

[toxic wolf]

I have a mild obsession with it we can ignore the vast collection of that one black sword™ in the background

[manic zealot]

can I add you to chat about it

no one I know knows cosmere

[toxic wolf]

Suuure!

I FUCKING DID ITTTT

[amber forge]

Oh I got a black hole earlier as well, which I'm pretty sure is the same odds as soul. So I got pretty lucky lol

[wintry igloo]

oh, alright then..

[tranquil steppe]

Eternal debt collectors are calling

[vocal sun]

whats the biggest cash out yall've seen

from yourself only

[fallow briar]

234 i think

[amber forge]

Literally first attempt at the omelet challenge lol

[fallow briar]

i was on anaglyph and copied the 25 from boss blind

[vocal sun]

damn, im on anaglyph rn and i saw the boss blind 25 and got 107

dude great minds think alike except you're a faster typer

god damn i suck at spelling

blueprint and dna in the same shop from refresh is fantastic

[toxic wolf]

i'm experiencing a violent religious experience

glass face cards

my beloved

[vocal sun]

what if you dont have 5 hand size and you go against psychic

[foggy sun]

Wrong spot for the cryptid

[foggy sun]

You lose

[vocal sun]

alr

i lost on psychic either way but it was a mess around run so idc

[vocal sun]

and now theres a negative gold joker that i cant get bc its first ante and im broke ash

[toxic wolf]

Rest in peace but i got one of my two missing planet cards

only one more left

[full glade]

Lets go i hate yellow deck

[toxic wolf]

i need to play purple and orange stake but i don't want to

[faint linden]

+212 Chips for each played Flush

[pale wolf]

huh

[toxic wolf]

disable 3 of a kinds (because no half life 3)

i mean it looks like the steam logo maybe i'm crazy

[faint linden]

Water joke for your Steam Joker. 212° F is the boiling point of water

[faint linden]

Flushing involves water

[olive basin]

Steam Joker?

[pale wolf]

thats the reference

its not called that but yea

[fallow briar]

thats one expensive reroll

[toxic wolf]

the pain of literally any stake other than white on ante 1 small blind

[fallow briar]

and one big fortune teller

[pale wolf]

ccibpt

[blazing plank]

balatro vibes

[covert storm]

Should I buy or is this a trap?

[fallow fog]

five crowns

[blazing plank]

it's similar, the five crowns deck was missing aces and 2's

[fallow fog]

i mean

u can stay alive past the first two antes

go for it

[covert storm]

Bet

[fallow fog]

i may even do save scumming to see if the spectral has immolate

[toxic wolf]

i am not sure what to buy

[fallow fog]

alw the banana

baron has no use if not set up for

[red thistle]

Gros michel and next round.

[toxic wolf]

well i gambled and now i have found the scam of all time

[fallow fog]

grimbo looking nice

[red thistle]

Green joker's pretty nice with space.

[fallow fog]

unofrtunately choose one

[covert storm]

Fuck

[red thistle]

Oh i thought that was mega buffon.

Yea just go space.

[toxic wolf]

SUPERNOVA MY BELOVED

the spectral pack is calling to me like the green goblin mask

[fallow fog]

wait i meant take both burnt and BS

[covert storm]

Ohhh

[fallow briar]

thank you balatro

this will do hopefully

blueprint?

nope

oh shit

[faint linden]

How does Obelisk handle ties for most played?

[fallow briar]

it resets

[faint linden]

For any of them?

[fallow briar]

yeah

[faint linden]

Fuck. That may have just killed my run

[fallow briar]

sad

[faint linden]

Note to self: don't experiment on Purple Stake

Polychrome Obelisk was $13

[ancient gyro]

any of these hands will kill it's scaling

[vocal rose]

unreal screenshot

[faint linden]

Run dead in Ante 2

[fallow briar]

invis ready, bye bye all my negatives

[raw schooner]

does anyone here know how having multiple copies of Chicot would interact with The Wall on Ante 39? I know on other antes it divides the score by 3 for every Chicot copy present, going as far as dropping the blind score BELOW the ante's minimum score, but I haven't seen anything about how it interacts with Ante 39 specifically.

[fallow briar]

good question

no clue

[faint linden]

nan / 9, 27, 81, etc. is still nan

I know from programming experience

[manic zealot]

I know there’s some wildass glitch with having multiple chicots that causes hand size to increase permanently, but I’m not familiar with how it works beyond the basic description on paper

[safe fractal]

slowly but surely inching towards 100%

[raw schooner]

this makes sense, thank you thank you

[manic zealot]

Holy obelisk

[faint linden]

nan is just anything higher than e1024, I think

The game can't handle that

[safe fractal]

six seven

[manic zealot]

Naneinf is anything higher than 1.08e308 or something like that

[raw schooner]

having multiple chicots on some bosses essentially undoes the blind's effect xfold for however many chicots you have. on the manacle, it permanently gives you +1 handsize because of some sort of coding error i'm not smart enough to understand, but with other bosses like the Needle, it'll give you extra hands temporarily, for the Water it'll give you extra discards temporarily, for the Wall/Violet Vessel it'll drop the score exponentially for each Chicot present, that sorta thing. its very interesting

[raw schooner]

e308, but yeah that makes sense that logging the number itself is too much and therefore division to the number wouldn't make a difference

[manic zealot]

Ohhh got it

That’s fascinating

[faint linden]

nan > naneinf though

[manic zealot]

Oh I see

[toxic wolf]

this is scuffed but somehow slowly working

[faint linden]

nan is a bigger number than naneinf

[manic zealot]

You basically won

[ancient gyro]

how is it scuffed

[toxic wolf]

i mean i should be good

[raw schooner]

as it's presented on ante 39? interesting

[manic zealot]

Permanent cloud nine and permanent crafty

[ancient gyro]

and what's wrong with that

[faint linden]

Correct. naneinf will NOT clear nan

[toxic wolf]

why is it always when i don't want it

[manic zealot]

They’re not great to keep forever but in this specific instance they work because madness

[toxic wolf]

well crafty is okay because i'm running flushes

it's mostly cloud 9 i'm not sure of

[manic zealot]

I would honestly take the hermit over the soul card

[fallow briar]

what are those eternal joker picks

[raw schooner]

chicot makes for great madness synergy because it gets destroyed, a fate well deserved

[ancient gyro]

theyre good enough specifically on this deck and c9 can be taken in any condition

[manic zealot]

It’s true

Madness runs are just quirky like that

[toxic wolf]

they're the eternal jokers i randomly got to fuel my madness

[ancient gyro]

doesn't have to be madness

[fallow briar]

i wouldve at least waited for a better joker other than cloud 9 but gl

[manic zealot]

Beggars can’t be choosers when doing a madness run with eternal jokers

You could never find a better eternal in time, it’s very dependent on rng

All things considered, those eternals aren’t bad

[raw schooner]

its very lucky that none of them happened to be rental eternals either

[manic zealot]

True

[toxic wolf]

gg shake my hand

it's good we won

[raw schooner]

holy canoli

[manic zealot]

I was already confident you had this in the bag before but holy luck

[toxic wolf]

now i try and generate as many 9s as possible

[faint linden]

Death is your friend

[manic zealot]

Careful about that, since you’re relying on normal flushes for score with supernova

Too many 9s and it might be hard to play normal flushes

[faint linden]

Thoughts on Scary Sock combo?

[manic zealot]

It’s a decent combo

It’s a free win pretty much on plasma

[faint linden]

I'm on Checkered

[manic zealot]

It’s still pretty good

What stake?

[faint linden]

Purple

[manic zealot]

It’s good chips, can carry you up to like ante 6 maybe even to the end if you find good mult and xmult with it

[faint linden]

Tempted to go Empress for mult but know I need Hermit as I have $8. I opened the pack praying for Trib

[manic zealot]

Yeah the hermit was the better play fs

Hoard money for a while and pray for a good +mult joker

If you don’t have one already

[faint linden]

Holo Wily that came out of nowhere

[manic zealot]

Not bad

[faint linden]

I just picked up a Jolly as well

[manic zealot]

You’re going for flushes right?

[soft vapor]

There's a balala map on Celeste

And like

[manic zealot]

Epic

[soft vapor]

The hardest is plasma deck rigjt

So on the celeste discord

Someones name includes "beaten plasma deck"

And it's so fucking funny

[vocal rose]

those aren’t bad

[vocal rose]

no it’s black deck

[soft vapor]

Because plasma deck is arguably the easiest deck to beat on white stake

[manic zealot]

Yeah black deck is much harder

[soft vapor]

Yeah but

[faint linden]

6,800 from a two pair

[soft vapor]

In the mod

[vocal rose]

plasma is the second hardest

[soft vapor]

Hardest is plasma

[faint linden]

Queens and Jacks

[soft vapor]

Oh

[manic zealot]

Ah I see

[vocal rose]

no idea what mods you’re talking about

[soft vapor]

A celeste mod

[vocal rose]

I see

[soft vapor]

And the hardest balala map is plasma deck

[faint linden]

Banana. We're cooking

Ideally, it breaks and I get other banana

[fallow briar]

yay new money pb

[faint linden]

Need advice on what to sell: Holo Wily, Jolly, Scary Face, Sock, or Gros Michel to buy Arrowhead

[fallow briar]

jolly

[faint linden]

What I was thinking

[ancient gyro]

context hat

[toxic wolf]

well i did win

now we're just gonna keep pushing it to the max

[shell dagger]

sell the run

[nova elk]

I wish

[toxic wolf]

i experience immense joy getting big numbers

i somehow did not notice it wasn't a flush

you are all allowed to question my intelligence

in another world he was negative and i was going to explode

[nova elk]

how u phased through so many rounds ? u just finished this one

[faint linden]

That red seal makes the screenshot even more painful

[toxic wolf]

it's okay i got a flush right after this

we lost 😔

feel free to use this seed for the funny madness run

[nova elk]

when should I skip blinds and when i don't?

[pale wolf]

blinds?
