I knowwww

Holy riff raff W

Eternal and negative riff raff then

[lost vault]

new challenge concept: start with riff raff and showman (both eternal)
ALL jokers are negative
no jokers in shop

[heady narwhal]

it's boring because it's jokerless but strictly easier

[woven spire]

eternal negative riff raff would lowk make it better

[oblique matrix]

any of you guys play bingle bingle?

[woven spire]

whats that

[fervent wolf]

#🃏・off-topic

[lost vault]

actyally to make it more interesting
no shops at all

[woven spire]

thats diabolical

[lost vault]

:3

call it

“The Pile”

[rose geyser]

i hate the needle i hate the needle i hate the needle

[woven spire]

having DNA somehow makes me forget about what the needle does, i hate it too

[fervent wolf]

White stake too 💔

[woven spire]

so? they are clearly new to the game

[tranquil cargo]

ngl I low key hate the needle too

[rose geyser]

only saving grace is that the green deck is actually getting me pretty far

[tranquil cargo]

only boss in the game that forces a manual score calc, which is a bit tedious

[heady narwhal]

I don't mind the needle

[wintry ice]

banning arcana packs would make this more interesting

[heady narwhal]

i usually just send it. calculating my score won't change the result

[rose geyser]

like that extra cash can do wonders if you're lucky enouh

[woven spire]

needle is a 90% lose if you have DNA and dont know how to read at all.

[heady narwhal]

if i'm scared i can just discard for a better hand

[fervent wolf]

I'm stakist 💔

[woven spire]

might sound dumb here, what is stakist?

[last geyser]

Hi

[woven spire]

and how is that a good thing?

i’m too sober for that rn

[wary zodiac]

space build (fuck you splash)

are there any other space themed jonklers

i wanna try the space build

[wintry ice]

astronomer and space joker

[fervent wolf]

Rocket and To the Moon

[safe ibex]

what in the world is the play here

like i mean. i want my invis to stay, but the mime

its a speculative invis tho

[bitter dagger]

neat this works on royal flush

[wintry ice]

i'd sell invis probably

[wintry ice]

it's a straight flush

just renamed

[safe ibex]

yeahhh me too but i dont like it

i know its the objectively correct play but i just dont like it

whatever. bye, invis

[serene forge]

r/balatro user fails to do 4th grade math

[north smelt]

Hanging chad pilled

[patent silo]

ballot chad

[wary zodiac]

why is negative astronomer top 10 negative jokers

i see no one talking about this shit

[wary zodiac]

not a photograph to be seen

you have done well

[north smelt]

my fav combo is hanging chad + odd todd + fibonacci

[woven spire]

they did say they suck at balatro lol

[terse dock]

This doesnt vibe with me

[north smelt]

with that 3 just easiest win

[terse dock]

I think you should stop doing this cause this may invite harassment

[north smelt]

no need economy

just fix deck to Ace 3 and 5

and then sleep

[terse dock]

Hack?

[north smelt]

hanging chad + odd todd + fibonacci

[terse dock]

Hack?

[north smelt]

no need hack

[terse dock]

Hack?

[woven spire]

i think chad is the only joker that is not situational

[terse dock]

Cavendish

[north smelt]

Chad is so broken

[delicate tide]

This js seems like bait ngl

[north smelt]

1 gold seal literally solve your gold economy

it's just busted

[woven spire]

didn’t think of that lol

[eternal flame]

I don't understand how a game I have 200 hours in that I have unlocked all content for is still fun even without content updates

[north smelt]

try modding

[terse dock]

Play dwarf fortress

[woven spire]

balala

[rose geyser]

guys what deck should i go for that can somehow help me get past ante 6?
i have red, blue, yellow, green, and black

[acoustic kettle]

The dark arts jimbo did is working wonders

[eternal flame]

yeller

[woven spire]

yellow and blue

[eternal flame]

maybe black because you kinda have enough freedom early to play flushes if you're struggling on white stake

flushes do not work for higher stakes unless you're checkered deck btw

[woven spire]

what

[acoustic kettle]

Black deck

[wintry ice]

tf2 players:

[eternal flame]

tf2 is online so it doesn't really count

[acoustic kettle]

Well multiplayer games content is the players

[wintry ice]

you're reccomending black deck to a new player?

[woven spire]

exactly lol

[eternal flame]

I don't remember white stake black deck being hard

[terse dock]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1359711544065265766

[wintry ice]

white stake isn't hard on any deck

blue and yellow are the ones it's easiest on

[eternal flame]

in fact I remember it being easy with a flush build since I could get 6 jokers and win with just a hand per round

[wintry ice]

that's how it goes for every deck on white stake

[woven spire]

yh but is easier to learn on yellow deck than on black tbf

[eternal flame]

true

[acoustic kettle]

White stake is just easy in general

[safe ibex]

neuro spotted

[acoustic kettle]

[zinc hawk]

first attempt doing fragile am i doing alright chatr

[honest dawn]

What great deck fixing

[wintry ice]

3 fps

[north smelt]

[acoustic kettle]

Terrible build

Hold r

[north smelt]

i bet you always get heart attack if you don't draw what you want lmao

[safe ibex]

what a narcissist

[acoustic kettle]

Blowman

[lavish gazelle]

Sell buy and sell cola buy again?

[honest dawn]

Whenever that happens, I always sell the showman I have and buy a new one.

[woven spire]

imma try to get a baron mime run im bored

[north smelt]

yes

[safe ibex]

tbh i did that

[honest dawn]

I don't know, I think it brings me luck or something haha

[north smelt]

if you do endless negative is really good

double negative is amazing

[safe ibex]

oh yeah thats exactly what i did

[viral ledge]

there should be a sort button for the consumables slot

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[woven spire]

we looking good lol

[safe ibex]

SOLD THE INVIS AND GOT A BLUEPRINT

we're so back

[serene forge]

me when i lie

[north smelt]

not the skip tho. just negative in general

for endless

[woven spire]

worth?

[north smelt]

i would odd todd and fix the deck to Ace 3 and 5

[serene forge]

eh true

[woven spire]

i could just win if i wanted to i just want a baron mime run

[serene forge]

less good with a showman present though

unless you get two copies of negative square joker like my girlfriend did once

[north smelt]

it's thining joker pool is nice

[north smelt]

also get that voucher then get to 50$ then sell any money making

joker

so free joker slot

i like that voucher after ante 4

free joker slot

[rose geyser]

i was close but i actually got far with the yellow deck

[north smelt]

what is that last 3 joker?

[woven spire]

yh yh

there he is

[zinc hawk]

i was scared of fragile but the canio and glass joker was super funny

[rose geyser]

ice cream, lusty, and business card

[serene forge]

9% of people might be stupid

[safe ibex]

all i needed was a dna

rest in peace, my honestly really good run that was constantly scrambling to score enough

[heavy hare]

who tf picked drivers license rhats trolling 😭

[spark kernel]

Holy peak run

[safe ibex]

283MQRWS if anyone wants

[heavy hare]

i can at least see how ppl would be dumb enough to pick invis

[safe ibex]

how is yorick not the play here

[heavy hare]

it's never not a he play lmao

especially ante 1

[safe ibex]

then why are 90% of people stupid

OH

OH I CANT READ

[brave goblet]

The rare Steven build

[pine dragon]

Easiest fucking Yorick ever

Also

Please use dark mode like a normal person

[brave goblet]

Photo chad at home

[serene forge]

no

[woven spire]

i was joking btw

[tidal valley]

Is this optimal joker order (flash card is at 32)

[ancient gyro]

her eyes are gonna be hella fucked up as she gets older

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 4

[hybrid tendon]

Balatrodle in 2

[woven spire]

funny shop

[zinc hawk]

the choice is obvious but

oaghe what if its a blueprint

[safe ibex]

wait why not wraith here

[spark kernel]

The plant had to ruin it

[tidal valley]

Risk it, its only ante 1

[safe ibex]

you have only $2

[zinc hawk]

drivers license

[cloud sinew]

you profit from wraith even on the worst case

[zinc hawk]

i can work with this

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

but also probably don't take an eternal photograph when you have nothing

[woven spire]

oh

[serene forge]

damn

[spark kernel]

I was copying photograph with my with other jokers

[tidal valley]

2 runs in 3 minutes taken by the plant

[safe ibex]

RK7AMBTM is still the most insane seed ive ever gotten

half the time was me going "what the hell is happening"

[serene forge]

probably shouldve found something better to copy

[safe ibex]

nat negative invis... woagh

[spark kernel]

I understand why the plant gets hate now

[woven spire]

yeah..

[safe ibex]

i could have naneinfed if i wasnt an idiot

[low fog]

ah yes completely vanilla gameplay, nothing to see here

[spark kernel]

Look how perfect my run was going

[cloud sinew]

Plant, my beloved <3

[woven spire]

maybe i can do it

[hybrid tendon]

imagine dying to plant ngl

[low fog]

this is why you level up flush five guys!

[ancient gyro]

a perfect run doesn't die to boss blinds

[cloud sinew]

clearly not perfect if it's hard countered by a single boss blind
-# (it isnt, unless you didnt prepare for it at all i.e getting glass cards considering you had 3 copiers + chad)

[pine dragon]

Ante 13 plant is rough

[serene forge]

orrrrrrrrrrrrrr you don't take photograph as your only scoring joker lmao

[low fog]

true

[serene forge]

ante 13 plant is indeed rough

[woven spire]

its just sad.

[low fog]

or start buying vouchers

[serene forge]

dying to ante 5 plant is simply inexcusable with 3 copy jokers

😭

[pine dragon]

Reroll will show jp eventually

[low fog]

this is gonna take a while

[woven spire]

bruh

[cloud sinew]

#⚙・modding-general

[low fog]

ah

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pine dragon]

I basically never pick it up unless I reaaaally need the help

[low fog]

or an oops all sixes

[pine dragon]

Sometimes hard to justify

It is a utility joker on gold stake

But if I caaaan justify it you know why not

[tidal valley]

Can someone explain to me what is going on in this run

[pine dragon]

Baron pog baron

[pine dragon]

Mime

[tidal valley]

This is the luckiest ive been and im going to fumble it because i have no good scoring 😭😭😭

[serene forge]

death in ante 4

[tidal valley]

Probably

[dull sapphire]

N1SDJS1M - erratic deck
daily random deck gold stake, day i don't even know any more (day 8)

[pine dragon]

Simply

Find a negative tag and get unlimited negatives

Easy win

[dull sapphire]

very cool seed with an extremely weird winning line

with some kinda underrated commons pulling their weight

(plus chad as well, he's here too!)

[tidal valley]

Forgot what boss i was on and it* discarded my kings

[vocal rose]

yeah this is why baron mime is ass

[dull sapphire]

||jokers were odd todd, onyx agate, hanging chad, hologram, hack. the hack used to be a juggler until i had to sell it for an emergency luchador against the eye in ante 6||

think that this is the one i wanna submit to doc spectred

not because it's hard or anything, but because you get to do some extremely weird stuff thanks to the initial card distribution

[pine dragon]

It's not ass

It's just hard to get going tbh

Most fun build imo

[vocal rose]

no its pretty ass

[pine dragon]

It's ass to get early

[vocal rose]

vulnerable to a lot of boss blinds

[pine dragon]

Cause it does jack shit early

[vocal rose]

not very good for ante 8 runs

[swift moss]

yea

[pine dragon]

It's something you'd prefer to pivot into

Rather than see early

[vocal rose]

no if im playing the game normally im not pivoting into baron mime lol

[zinc hawk]

my b for running straight i shouldve just pivoted to 5 of a kind 😭

[vocal rose]

im keeping my consistent build

[pine dragon]

Most runs don't have the capacity

[vocal rose]

yeah

because guess what

[swift moss]

cuz u need good high card levels and a shit ton of kings (with red seals too)
If you try it early then
Whoop dee do you barely have any levels and barely any kings youre cooked

[vocal rose]

it’s inconsistent

[pine dragon]

Most runs aren't high card

[bleak blaze]

Yall, Burglar and Loyalty Card is cracked as hell with blue seals

Holy shit

[ancient gyro]

when have I ever seen streak players do that

[vocal rose]

I think ur making even more of a case on why baron is ass

[bleak blaze]

98% done with the game and still learning new synergies

[vocal rose]

even with giving it mime

[dull sapphire]

yeah loyalty card is good if you have extra hands

[vocal rose]

I still learn new things 3 c++s in

won’t stop

[dull sapphire]

if you can somehow sync it up to acrobat, you're really in the money

[pine dragon]

It is the best build in the game it just

Also is the least likely to happen

[ancient gyro]

same with 6 in the belt

[vocal rose]

im sorry but

what exactly is that criteria

[ancient gyro]

not how the game works

[vocal rose]

how is it “the best build in the game”

[pine dragon]

Going off scoring potential

[bleak blaze]

Whats this build we're talking about?

[dull sapphire]

something like grimbo odd todd splash is also really good but it's way more practical, and better in early game

lacks any endless potential tho

[vocal rose]

we just ignored this

[modest siren]

I think I may have encountered the longest possible description

[ancient gyro]

not something worth going for in gs

[vocal rose]

endless is unbalanced

the normal talking standard is ante 8

[bleak blaze]

Over 250 Gold Stake wins for me and I've Baron Mimed once on it

[pine dragon]

I consider "best" on scoring potential

[tidal valley]

So we take temperance right

[vocal rose]

nobody was ever talking about scoring potential

[pine dragon]

I was

So that's a lie

[vocal rose]

then you fundamentally misunderstand the game

the game is NOT about scoring as high as you can

not in the slightest

[pine dragon]

No I just understand it has the highest potential just is super unlikely

[swift moss]

It's about making it to the end

[bleak blaze]

People need to clarify if they're talking about jokers/builds in relation to Ante 8 or Endless

[pine dragon]

It's balanced in that way

[bleak blaze]

Two are completely different

[swift moss]

The runs i like the most arent the e number bullshit ones it's the ones that are held together by duct tape and dreams

[bleak blaze]

TALK YO SHIT KING

[half nexus]

so

[vocal rose]

endless is a bonus mode added onto the game that has NO BALANCING centered around it

[pine dragon]

That's 90% of runs tbh

[vocal rose]

I understand your point since it does need be clarified sadly

[swift moss]

[vocal rose]

but it shouldn’t

[ancient gyro]

the game by design is not specified for endless as far as current game balance suggests in patch notes and previous conversations

[pale wolf]

no they dont

the default discussion meta is gold stake ante 8

[bleak blaze]

Noted

[pine dragon]

You guys stop after 8 antes?

[pale wolf]

people need to clarify if they're talking about the meta with winning strategies countable on one hand

[pine dragon]

Boring

[vocal rose]

yes

because

let me hold your hand

that’s where the game is balanced and designed around

8 antes

[half nexus]

95% of builds cant get past like ante 11 so theres not a lot of point going higher unless you're going high card or flush five retrigger x mult

[pine dragon]

I did the same thing in Bloons

I'd take runs hundreds of rounds into freeplay

[bleak blaze]

Aight should I try to steak on Ghost Deck or run a completely different deck?

[ancient gyro]

that's what the game defines as a win yes

[pale wolf]

streaking ghost seems fine

[vocal rose]

you should medium rare your ghost deck steak

[pale wolf]

well its like, after ante 8 theres no "win" condition

you just play til you lose

thats not fun to me

[pine dragon]

Ywah

[half nexus]

which can still be fun for some people tho

[pine dragon]

I enjoy that personally

[half nexus]

let ppl play the game how they want

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[manic talon]

vampire, unc still got it

[bleak blaze]

After 8 antes im more concerned about how stupid/good could I possibly make this build

[pine dragon]

I do that in every game with an endless mode

[pale wolf]

you can, but when discussing how good a joker is endless doesnt factor

[ancient gyro]

wow a roguelike where I do the same fucking shit onto endless

[vocal rose]

this is sorta a nothing burger statement

[pine dragon]

I just enjoy it

[half nexus]

what

[pale wolf]

at least how "good" a joker is viability wise

[vocal rose]

nobody was dictating what someone could do or not

[pine dragon]

It does that's part of the game too

[pale wolf]

it isn't part of balancing

[vocal rose]

idrc if they play endless or not

[ancient gyro]

that's fine if you enjoy endless but calling certain things good because of that is not a valid conversation to bring up for ppl seeking advice by introducing game balance

[serene forge]

there's like 8 good jokers in endless

endless strategy is very narrow and thus pointless to talk about

[vocal rose]

it’s not centered around balancing

[pale wolf]

the game is designed around 8 antes, the endless stuff is bonus

[half nexus]

you said "let me hold your hand" which is patronizing and dismissive

[ancient gyro]

that's like saying super money is the best chimps tower because it got me the highest number of rounds in freeplay on a specific map which is just cherry picking for the sake of misinformation

[serene forge]

I hate Bloons TD 6

[pale wolf]

and theres plenty of endless advice given in here too its just contextual

[vocal rose]

having to reiterate that point 4-5 times yes I’m going to say that, and that still doesn’t change what I said

i don’t care if they play endless

nor was I telling them they can or cannot

[pine dragon]

Thas cool

But I did the same thing in Bloons I viewed towers on how well they hold up throughout the entire game not just 100 rounds

Who stops at 100 rounds that's so boring

[vocal rose]

apples and oranges

[half nexus]

jesus this server is so hostile and unfriendly

im outta here lmfao

[vocal rose]

goodbye

[ancient gyro]

oh boy what a wonderful way of misinterpreting tower power

[pine dragon]

No it's not. I'm saying I have the same veiw on "good" I go on highest potential

That's the philosophy

[vocal rose]

I see

[pine dragon]

Higher potential better thing

[serene forge]

thunk himself says that he thinks it's crazy that people care about endless as much as they do

[vocal rose]

well im not too well versed into blooms it’s boring to me

[ancient gyro]

like between gs and endless, the variety of what's given into what works is severely diminishing in endless which is fundamentally terrible game design

[serene forge]

it's very clearly not a main part of the design philosophy

[vocal rose]

so i can’t say much

[pine dragon]

Bloons wasn't the point of that I'm just saying any game with an endless mode

[modest siren]

Genuine question: is there any vaguely reliable way to get seltzer at the end for gold sticker? I've been beating my head against a wall for days, completing runs, and sometimes getting seltzer, but never near the end

[vocal rose]

😎

[pine dragon]

I just go in highest potential

To judge something

[vocal rose]

get high econ

start rolling down

[ancient gyro]

cant make a good game if 10% of the content is good in its intended play

[serene forge]

if you make a seltzer debuffed because of perishable you can hang onto it

otherwise you just need to get one near the end

[ancient gyro]

when list update

[vocal rose]

econ management becomes a big skill check in the last 10 stickers

[pine dragon]

Get lucky and find it in ante 7-8

Or some

[vocal rose]

when i wake up

[pine dragon]

Or land invis on it

[ancient gyro]

so say endless strength and don't tie a8 gs balance into the conversation

[vocal rose]

or get out of bed

[ancient gyro]

good morning

[pale wolf]

no reliable way, but skipping rounds obviously can preserve seltzer for longer and you can increase your chance of seeing it with uncommon skips on anaglyph perhaps

[vocal rose]

😴

[modest siren]

I figured this was the case due to some other funky perishable interactions. Sadly, none of my seltzers have been perishable 😭

[ancient gyro]

gn

[silk cobalt]

Has there ever been a seed discovered where all cards in an Erratic deck are in one rank?

[cloud sinew]

you can minmax your odds of seeing seltzer when an uncommon joker spawns by keeping full uncommons & not putting steel joker / lucky cat / glass joker into the pool

[tidal valley]

This is a wild run lmao

[cloud sinew]

yes, but they're bugged seeds.

[ancient gyro]

and money

[pale wolf]

"discovered" i think is a stretch of a word because they were specifically looking for the type of bugged seed

[wintry ice]

as a former bloons addict who did genuinely idiotic shit on chimps mode

[pale wolf]

but yea

[wintry ice]

freeplay is just as boring as balatro endless

[modest siren]

Weirdest perishable interaction I have seen is that if a card is already debuffed from being perishable, and it gets negative'd (generally by ecto), the negative doesn't do anything. But if it's negative before, that's not the case

[pale wolf]

it almost certainly can't happen "naturally" i.e. not thru a bug in the seed rng

[wintry ice]

you can also choose what towers you get in bloons provided you get the economy for it

[pale wolf]

yea its wack

[vocal rose]

oh I remember bloons now

[pale wolf]

you can lose a joker slot that way

[vocal rose]

was the black borders the gold stake equivalent?

[cloud sinew]

ya, statistically so unlikely that it's practically impossible

[wintry ice]

given that balatro is a roguelike, a genre where randomness is it's core

[silk cobalt]

Wdym "bugged" is it thru rng manipulation?

[ancient gyro]

for expert maps yeah

[vocal rose]

yeah those were fun

[cloud sinew]

no, there's a flaw in the pseudorandom number generator

[wintry ice]

this type of review doesn't work

[tacit quail]

check out those skip tags

[ancient gyro]

well

sometimes

[pine dragon]

Extremely nice of you to completely put down how I look at things very kind of you to ignore the fact other opinions than yours exist

[tacit quail]

59 dolla

[pale wolf]

the rng is just not perfect and certain combinations of numbers break it

[ancient gyro]

its not an opinion argument to begin with

[pine dragon]

Okay, well fuck off

[pale wolf]

i suppose all seeds are rng manipulation

[wintry ice]

most good chimps players i knew liked pushing the mode to it's limit

[pine dragon]

We're done

[vocal rose]

this isn’t an opinionated argument

[vocal rose]

you’re weird

take a break

[woven spire]

bp and bs ante 2 mmmm

[ancient gyro]

good night streaks

[vocal rose]

insulting others after misunderstanding an argument

[pine dragon]

The fact of the matter is you're rude as fuck

[wintry ice]

maybe sleeping is a better use of time than arguing with others online

[modest siren]

I wish I were able to find a run's seed while playing on it so I could pre-emptively look for seltzer 😢

[cloud sinew]

if you want to be done then ignore people or leave, you dont just get to say "we're done" and that be the end of it, this is an open chat.

[pale wolf]

lmfao >cheating

[modest siren]

Real and true

[tidal valley]

Is this the best way to order these

[vocal rose]

they weren’t rude in the slightest

[pale wolf]

i mean you can

[vocal rose]

it’s an open chat

you can leave whenever you want

[ancient gyro]

when have I ever directly targeted at you and not the idea of what's in the conversation

[cloud sinew]

being rude is when you disagree /s

[vocal rose]

true

[tacit quail]

immense a4 setup

[woven spire]

whats going on

[pine dragon]

Stop pinging me

[vocal rose]

block them

the internet is simple

[wintry ice]

andolth literally said "be more specific with what you're trying to convey"

[ancient gyro]

im just saying the freeplay/sandbox/endless is not a factor of what is consistent in the intended way to play

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[pine dragon]

I'ma block you in a second I literally said stop

[ancient gyro]

ok

[pine dragon]

Just a second ago

[cloud sinew]

just block people instead of saying you'll block them

i learned that a while ago

[ancient gyro]

i mean you can ping the mods if im being too harsh from your point of view

[pale wolf]

the fact that people default to gold stake ante 8 meta here isnt an opinion, the reasons why we should continue to do so are an opinion though and they're correct :^)

[vocal rose]

hi guys I will update my tierlist in 12 hours

[ancient gyro]

fun versus good

[digital pewter]

credit card. hear my call.

[pale wolf]

updating my calendar

[ancient gyro]

but im rude as fuck

[modest siren]

I feel like I'm just sitting here while I watch people slap each other as they wonder why they don't get up from the slapping table

[ancient gyro]

hey google remind me in 12 hours

[digital pewter]

did not hear my call. smh.

[serene forge]

damnit waffle i can't believe you would be so rude :(

[wintry ice]

it will be eternal rental

[patent silo]

hate when this happen

[pale wolf]

winning tho

[ancient gyro]

here's your reference sheet

[digital pewter]

yippee!

[serene forge]

I hate Seance

[wintry ice]

c2 is good anyways

[vocal rose]

here’s some review for when it comes

[pale wolf]

bean?!

[ancient gyro]

oh they left

[wintry ice]

if family is A- tier i'd argue order is A- tier

[serene forge]

en pessant

[ancient gyro]

me when im in zebras terraria server

[serene forge]

they didn't

[pale wolf]

no

[serene forge]

you were blocked i think

[vocal rose]

updates…

[tropic kiln]

i am addicted to this game and i am really not good

[vocal rose]

that’s okay

you will get good

eventually

[wintry ice]

i was on gym while you were playing

[tropic kiln]

maybe in 2027

[pale wolf]

eventually you will be not addicted and burdened with useless skills

[modest siren]

I am split between uninstalling when I get c++ and modding

[ancient gyro]

zebra kicked me out

[nova flare]

What a first day to enter the discord lmao

[serene forge]

I hate Lunar Pagoda

[ancient gyro]

because I had to pick my cousin up

[vocal rose]

good goal

[nova flare]

Hi yall

[patent silo]

nah dont worry, there is a moment when you brain does click and you understand all (not all but you start to understand)

[vocal rose]

when you’re at that point you will be somewhat less addicted

[modest siren]

I just lost the game

[vocal rose]

hi

[ancient gyro]

well come

[manic zealot]

hey

[pale wolf]

ok i have to be cute now

[wintry ice]

i've lost multiple games

[tropic kiln]

no i love balatro

[wintry ice]

is a 25% winrate good enough

[nova flare]

Sadly admitting I haven’t realized there’s a discord until I just finished gold stake on all decks.

Will say I’m still terrible and stubborn hoping to share my pain LOL

[vocal rose]

I can’t really agree with this point imo

[manic zealot]

I personally think so

[vocal rose]

there’s no eureka moment with balatro

it’s just stable improvement i’d say

[tropic kiln]

i've won like 4 times and i got 70 hours in so far LMAO

[ancient gyro]

on black deck yes

i like to have one of those

[vocal rose]

always learning from your losses

[tacit quail]

what's wrong with this image

[patent silo]

gñe, i dont mean eureka moment

xD

[wintry ice]

what about overall

[serene forge]

i havent tracked my winrate but it's probably trash

[ancient gyro]

vic the smart one out of all of us

[nova flare]

I think gold stake black deck took me 70 hours alone LOL

[vocal rose]

just my interpretation but it could be wrong

[tacit quail]

besides my gui mods

[patent silo]

i just say that you start to understand how this shit works xD

[vocal rose]

it’s hard

[ancient gyro]

it makes sense if it's overall

[vocal rose]

that’s pretty good

[modest siren]

Skill floor is less intense than Noita by a long shot though, which means less people get pushed away by it (imo)

[vocal rose]

now do c++

[serene forge]

you're using a rental swishbonkler

[ancient gyro]

idk what the losses are from so I can't say if it's good or not

[tacit quail]

No still not it

[ancient gyro]

damn

[vocal rose]

that’s why it’s sorta easy to get addicted

[ancient gyro]

is that how that works

[tacit quail]

check the ROUNDS

[nova flare]

I almost tossed my phone when I saw how far behind I was LOL

[pale wolf]

joker order

[wintry ice]

me on my way to deny a page 1 chip joker before ante 2 needle for the thousandth time:

[tacit quail]

how do you calc this shit btw

polys

and holos

[vocal rose]

don’t worry the SECOND c++ is when the game is the most fun

[pale wolf]

polychrome red card should be to the right of the hologram because of holographic edition

[vocal rose]

you’ll get there

[modest siren]

Wait, huh?

[tacit quail]

i guess yeah

[serene forge]

I love Red Card

[modest siren]

Why would anyone do that again?

[vocal rose]

me personally

[serene forge]

I hate Swish bonkling

[plucky holly]

I have photochad what should I do now?

[ancient gyro]

some say it's the 6th

[serene forge]

sell photo

[tropic kiln]

whats best wa to get better? other than losing over and over again

[patent silo]

for fun

[pale wolf]

as many +mult to the left as you can, as many xmult to the right as you can, order +mult biggest to lowest for the most part

[patent silo]

xD

[plucky holly]

Why

[tacit quail]

well no im selling red card so i can get a sticker on something

[serene forge]

its bad

[plucky holly]

Okay

[tacit quail]

time for a superposition gold sticker

[wintry ice]

some people like gold stake balatro enough to do it twice

[tacit quail]

we go

[rocky tiger]

6/6 but theres a negative

[wintry ice]

me included

[vocal rose]

very generalized so don’t take it for sum facts, first c++ is usually when you’re improving ALOT and taking your time getting it, second c++ is when you start seeing the fruits of your labor and start win streaking

[rocky tiger]

wait nvm

im stupid

[pale wolf]

i've played enough to have

[vocal rose]

that was when I had the most fun

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf read through an old document from Math and found a list of things that aren't ante-based

[nova flare]

Wait second !? LOL

[modest siren]

That's me right now except I don't have seltzer, I'm gonna go insane

[cloud sinew]

couldve saved myself a bunch of testing lol

[tacit quail]

okay i fucked it up and lost because i didnt pull my full houise

[vocal rose]

ohhhhhhh

[vocal rose]

ooooooh hanging chad

great start

[tacit quail]

no its not

washed joker

[pale wolf]

interesting

[nova flare]

Alright yall got me I’ll give C++ a go. What’s everyone preference for deck to hunt for those extra joker stickers and if anyone says black deck 😂

[vocal rose]

don’t worry you’ll get there

[modest siren]

Ok back to banging my head against a wall

[vocal rose]

you want a consistent win rate, so yellow or blue

[cloud sinew]

blue deck

[ancient gyro]

blue

[vocal rose]

as those are objectively the best decks

[ancient gyro]

or yellow

[wintry ice]

anaglyph is good for stickering a bunch of random commons in 1 go

[tropic kiln]

how do u have different thing, i dont got that X1.5 thingy

[vocal rose]

for gold stake ante 8

[wintry ice]

ghost is nice because of ecto

[tacit quail]

gui mod jokerdisplay

[wintry ice]

yellow and blue are just easy

[vocal rose]

mod

[tropic kiln]

ohhh

[ancient gyro]

oh boy...

joke

[vocal rose]

oh he doesn’t know

[tacit quail]

wtf

[nova flare]

Jesus Christ

[vocal rose]

omg

[ancient gyro]

damn

[vocal rose]

nice

[wintry ice]

free win

[young token]

balatro gifted me this wee joker start

[vocal rose]

c++ deathless attempt 6

[cloud sinew]

found an explanation about the erratic bug from Math:
"It happens because the source can sometimes divide by zero,
And for some reason Lua is perfectly fine with setting the RNG seed to nil, which causes the seed to loop over and over because of Balatro code"

[tacit quail]

hmm... sells hex for this

2$

worth

[vocal rose]

yes

what’s the other joker

[tacit quail]

some shit idk it was like super position rental or some shit

not worth

i moved on

[modest siren]

🤔 do I gamble on invis?

[vocal rose]

yeah

[tacit quail]

why not

[vocal rose]

dna does nothing

[tacit quail]

it could be anything

[modest siren]

Me when I bet my life savings on black

[ancient gyro]

well nvm

[serene forge]

I hate Blooestone

[tidal valley]

What were they copying? 😭

[ancient gyro]

blooestone

[fervent wolf]

Absolutely nothing

[vocal rose]

ok

[ancient gyro]

i hate whatever you sent a few minutes ago

[tidal valley]

Valid lmao

[fervent wolf]

I should go for oops all credit cards lmao

[manic zealot]

always happy for an early antimatter

[vocal rose]

that’s a rare sighting

[manic zealot]

that is a rare one ya

[pale wolf]

I'm dead

wtf balator is hard

[vocal rose]

why’s he hard

[pale wolf]

potions

[gentle island]

Because who needs mult

[modest siren]

🤔

[tacit quail]

my deck ante 3 entry 🙏

[serene forge]

I hate Infernolatro

[pale wolf]

is that a hell

[serene forge]

no its from vampire survivors

[modest siren]

If I take soul, it may very well break bus

Should I do it or nah?

[gentle island]

Yeah

[vocal rose]

guys

[lapis blade]

why not

[vocal rose]

there’s a clear choice here

that I MUST take

[lapis blade]

riff raff

[vocal rose]

nuh uh

is this game easy

[ancient gyro]

no

i cant get 5 wins

[pallid ferry]

3 decks away from c+!

black, painted, and erratic deck left..

[vocal rose]

do I take seeing?

not taking would be speculative cavendish

and my deck doesn’t have much enhanced cards

prob take

[tranquil steppe]

Painted is easy. The other 2, not so much

[pallid ferry]

ive heard horrors of black deck..

[tranquil steppe]

Yeaaaaaaa……..

[mellow cypress]

U got grimbo first shop, yes, it is

Free win

Grimbo on blue is the most free

[atomic locust]

Is there any broken seed that I could try and get my hands on

[rocky tiger]

just search on google theres tons

or if you want something more specific look n the seeds channel

[modest siren]

Me when pair

[acoustic kettle]

weakest pair run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opaque tiger]

I’m new, what does skipping a blind do? Any pro / con?

[acoustic kettle]

skipping does exactly what it sounds

skips a blind

you get things in return

[fading dome]

pro: you get the tag
con: you don't get to go to the shop and you don't get to play the blind

[modest siren]

Bloodstone alone: 😭
Bllodstone with 6s: 😎
But yeah, it seems to always just suck due to incosistency unless you already have 6s

[acoustic kettle]

most skip tags are bad or at least not valuable enough to skip a shop

[fading dome]

there's also a small section about it on the wiki https://balatrowiki.org/w/Skip

[lunar zealot]

Skipping a blind gives a tag but in exchange you fo not play the blind

pros and cons

more often cons but it depends

generally if you're new don't skip; playing the blinds will give you more skill in your fundamentals

then you can be smarter and correctly weigh the cost of playing vs skipping

[vocal sun]

i do NOT want faceless joker

ok now theres another showman

does a 2nd showman even do anything

i had squarepants earlier, then it was just pants, now both gone for a holo chad

[serene forge]

i don't think "golden joker but trash" works as an idea

[vocal sun]

oh my god its another photo

i got photochad^2

[hot plank]

ive got a green needle in the shop right now but i can't take it because i already have 6 eternal jokers

[green meteor]

It’s not trash?

[hot plank]

photophotochadchad

[green meteor]

It’s literally a X$

[hot plank]

but it doesnt matter because i already have 3 blueprints 🤑

[serene forge]

white stake it's literally just golden joker because it gives $12 an ante

anywhere past that it's straight up worse because small blind gives no money

[green meteor]

I imagined it literally doubling all outputs from winning blinds

[vocal sun]

first hand with photochad squared

[green meteor]

Even from other Jokers, vouchers, etc

[hot plank]

ah but every 8 ante's its slightly better i think

[vocal sun]

oh my god its 7 negative tags hooray

[green meteor]

And if you got Negative duplicates from Showman, or copy Jokers…

[hot plank]

what a setup

had this minus the negative in ante 5 btw

[serene forge]

blackboard be bad challenge (impossible)

that setup is freaking amazing lmao

[hot plank]

i just deckfixed and now ive only got 2 or 3 cards that arent clubs or spades

[serene forge]

they didn't clarify so idk

[vocal sun]

literally like 4 hands ago i had photochad+squarepants and now its this

[hot plank]

so many jokers that help a little bit

[vocal sun]

ikr

ok literally theyre like not helpful to me at all unless i play straights for all of eternity

[hot plank]

any time i play anaglyph deck i dont see a negative skip or i just die because i suck at this game

[vocal sun]

my last negative tag was chips straight joker so i think this game may or may not want me to play straights

but i think ill stick to photochad squared

holy shit 2 negative tags in a row

3 more negatives in 1 round

[hot plank]

holy i just got a negative credit card with this setup

now i cant lose

[vocal sun]

you better not

negative rocket at start of ante 8 are we fr

other 2 are odd tod and ramen

so i guess ill never discard again

[royal ore]

hello

[vocal sun]

wtf

you aint doing much in this im ngl

[hot plank]

😭

[royal ore]

😔

[vocal sun]

also i found a 3rd photo so i think its time to say goodbye to showman

[vocal sun]

ay if it wasnt photochad you would be doing a lot tho

its just bad luck

[hot plank]

odd todd i'd sell you even if you were negative and i had no reason to

[vocal sun]

nah thats fucked up

[royal ore]

bruh what did i do

[hot plank]

sorry too far

(even steven better)

nah i actually hate even steven too because i have never once remembered to use them and end up just forgetting theyre there entirely

[vocal sun]

damn now cavendish shows up and i cant get rid of anything bc my non negatives are literally 3 photos and 2 chads

oh and now sock is here fuck my luck

[hot plank]

get antimatter rq

[vocal sun]

well so thats not how that works but ill try

amber acorn aint doing shit when all the jokers that actually do anything for my build is literally photochads, order dont gaf for that

[hot plank]

zodiac deck might be my new favourite deck 🤔✌️

[vocal sun]

oh hey 2b hand rq thats nice

[hot plank]

😭

<@&1133519078540185692>

[vocal sun]

holy loser alert

🚨🚨🚨

[hot plank]

they just got hacked. ive seen that exact one with mrbeast instead of elon musk

[vocal sun]

yeah ive seen it on probably like 3 other servers

[hot plank]

mods gotta lock tf in

[vocal sun]

fr testing the reaction time of the mods

[hot plank]

if youre not on discord 24/7 youre fired

[vocal sun]

ong

[hot plank]

its in every channel too

[serene forge]

i mean

negative rebate is a god pull

[vocal sun]

my multi itself is enough to beat the blinds rn so thats cool

[serene forge]

parking and chaos are good too

definitely a very above average pull

[vocal sun]

well obv its rebate, i was talking about the stuff thats supposed to help for chips and multi

[hot plank]

chaos the clown my beloved ❤️

[vocal sun]

theyre seperated by if theyre good or not(its really just if its chips or econ)

why my cards say they got eaten

what that mean

[acoustic kettle]

I ate them

Sorry

[vocal sun]

if theyre gone forever thats fire they werent good cards

[atomic locust]

I am kinda curious on how many Seeds out there in balatro

[acoustic kettle]

More than 3

[vocal sun]

wheel is NOT 1/4 ive done 7 this game and NONE have worked

oh my god negative tags its all good now

[hot plank]

my game is bugged and stuck on my having won the finisher blind

[vocal sun]

wait im slightly broke i might not be able to reroll enough to get them all

[hot plank]

guess im not going endless

[swift moss]

Uhhh
Skill issue spin better

[vocal sun]

you right

you right

[hot plank]

they should reinvent the wheel 🤣✌️✌️😮‍💨

[vocal sun]

ok wait foil photo now it finally worked

thanks man

ok now i got negative cagger tf

thats going far right for the entire game

[hot plank]

why do people love abandoned deck cause you start with deckfixing already done but people hate checkered deck when you start with deckfixing already done

[heady narwhal]

suit fixing is meaningless

more precisely: fixing towards spades and clubs is nice but checkered deck does not do that

[south palm]

I know what i have to do but i don't have the strenght to do it

[hot plank]

idk i think suit fixing is good

[vocal sun]

do it.

itll work

on everything

[south palm]

LETS GOOOOOO

[hot plank]

well of course you don't have the strength! youve got a magician!

[vocal sun]

i did it and now i have 19 jokers(its not because im on anaglyph trust)

[heady narwhal]

checkered deck enables flush (bad handtype), and occasionally straight flush and flush house
abandoned deck enables straight (good handtype), 4oak (good handtype), blue seals, gold cards, basically everything

[vocal sun]

my hand size is pissing me off i cant click on the cards close enough bc i try to hard to click on them fast

[hot plank]

i see what you mean

[vocal sun]

sock is taunting me

[atomic locust]

What yall favorite jokers

[vocal sun]

i have no joker slots for it and i keep seeing it

[vocal sun]

im fw 3 photos rn and 2 chads so probably 1 of them

cavendish is taunting me too

3rd time ive seen it with no joker slots

cavendish has something against me

[kind creek]

Found this
are straights not strong?

[hot plank]

burnt joker in ante 2 judgement ❤️‍🩹

[vocal sun]

glass jack with 3 photo and 2 chad or lucky red seal queen

ima go jack for bigger number

[hot plank]

couldnt draw a hand and lost IMMEDIATELY

[kind creek]

Lucky red seal could give money

[vocal sun]

yeah well i get like 30 a round either way and its too late it was a 450b hand

oh yeah its like 30 a round bc of rocket and i have the double interest thing

[wintry ice]

r/balatro saying straights are good?

this meme must be from a separate timeline

[vocal sun]

the plant is coming

and i cant run

[wintry ice]

also dying to violet vessel with a 5 card hand moment

[kind creek]

Fear

[prisma jay]

🃏

[vocal sun]

yeah its wraps

[static pendant]

Uuuuuh is this good

[vocal sun]

[atomic locust]

Mine is

[acoustic kettle]

Why aces

[static pendant]

Maybe

[vocal sun]

why not

[static pendant]

Idk

I'm just having fun

I'll pass the seed when I lose

[vocal sun]

shit ton of negatives and triple photo and double chad, dont remember the order of things but nothing was from packs, didnt get half my negatives till ante like 8 but also its not good negatives, 3 got eaten by cagger and one was ramen so that was gone quick

[static pendant]

I lost 1Z61KBG

There's the seed

[heady narwhal]

why is it 7 characters

[static pendant]

I don't remember what I did

[static pendant]

Idk is like that

[heady narwhal]

they're always supposed to be 8 right?

[static pendant]

Idk

This seed was like that

I copied and pasted it

[woven spire]

sinergy:

what.

[vocal sun]

the cards left me

oh shit i restarted and the cards are still gone i guess im skipping

i cant skip.

[fervent pebble]

🥹

[wintry ice]

that's a known issue with double tag packs

[vocal sun]

it was in fact a double tag pack

im holding r

[gentle island]

The mouth + dna is pure evil

[acoustic kettle]

I mean

It is your fault

[vocal sun]

idk man seems kinda like your fault

i did that once tho

[gentle island]

Hey man

[vocal sun]

hi

[gentle island]

just because its my fault

doesnt make it less evil

[final parcel]

DOES MR BONES NO LONGER WORK ON THE LAST BOSS TwT

[acoustic kettle]

Mr do

[final parcel]

Watafak

[acoustic kettle]

It works

[vocal sun]

well so heres the thing, its not the games fault you dont pay attention, not really any evil when its a aprt of the game

[final parcel]

I was so arrogant

[acoustic kettle]

It just shows you game over for some reason sometimes

[vocal sun]

tragic

[acoustic kettle]

You need to score 25%

[final parcel]

OH RIGHT

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe read the joker

[final parcel]

I forgot

[vocal sun]

well so its debuffed even if you get 25% nothing happens no?

[final parcel]

Cards debuffed not joker

[vocal sun]

oh yeah but can you even get 25%

[final parcel]

Nah

[acoustic kettle]

Straight flush on all hands

[final parcel]

I had a good build to oneshot and decided to do this for funsies

[acoustic kettle]

Not even enough

[final parcel]

Oh well nothing lost

Just a low stake run

[swift island]

I wonder what Joker would go with this

[lyric wave]

never really understood the appeal of vagabond until now. I think I finally get it lmao

[woven spire]

funny.

[hot plank]

i love mr bones

[fallen siren]

This might be my first Gold Stake completion
Shoutout to Mime + Blue Seal. Too bad I'll have to sell Mime 😭 but I think I'll be fine

Won in just one hand 🔥

[lyric wave]

nat negative idol spotted in this same run, we might be cooking

nvm we're not cooking, I messed up my brainstorm copying ;-;;;;;

[fervent pebble]

i havent played a single straight this run

[woven spire]

showman is working🔥

[scarlet sail]

Replace him

The old one isn’t doing a good enough job

[woven spire]

i did

guess what

chat help

is it worth?

i have a better question.

[ember mason]

What happened

[dim thicket]

i mean there's also the fact that it gives very fast tarot generation and is one of the best deckfixing jokers but fortune teller is good with it too lmao, good shit

[dim thicket]

it's always baron sell easy

[lyric wave]

yeah absolutely trivialized the run until I was a fool, decided to go for the rare skip for shits and giggles ante 1 round 0 and ran with it

[lost vault]

you have no real jokers and will die ante 30

[night cradle]

Showman is tweaking

[lost vault]

whyd u take so many mimes qwq

[dim thicket]

shits and giggles are all good until you accidentally shart 😔

[dim thicket]

the frenchest showman

[night cradle]

Before

[dim thicket]

drunkard yorrick rebate, i like. not as much as four fucking mimes tho lmao

[serene forge]

super blunder

[final parcel]

Forgot about the 25% requirement for mr. bones and sold all the jokers before facing the last boss

[night cradle]

But now im going to have econ problems

[delicate tide]

Nah this is tweaker of you

Sock over glut

[serene forge]

why

[delicate tide]

Anti face card propaganda

[serene forge]

what are you retriggering

[delicate tide]

+mult is just insanely common

Like you do not need that

Retriggers you can either build around for a bit or just find value

Glut is just so easily replaced cause +mult being so common

I’d take dusk or sock

Prolly dusk

[serene forge]

i mean i think stability is good

dusk????

[delicate tide]

Stability is common

[delicate tide]

Nvm that wad stupid

I disagree

With myself there

[lost vault]

endless players when they realize winning doesnt mean reaching ante 8273840497363

[serene forge]

for what
