[slate vale]

I saw your name
I saw an opportunity to make an ultrakill joke
But i did not

I hate salad

[ancient gyro]

message she deleted yesterday

[slate vale]

???

Wha ?

Wtf

[olive basin]

Then I will take this opportunity from you. How about next time eat a salad and pray to Jesus.

[serene forge]

WHAT

[ancient gyro]

hi

[serene forge]

???????????????

[slate vale]

Who ?

Was i on that server yesterday?

[wintry ice]

[slate vale]

Was i saying weird things ?

Wtf

[wintry ice]

oh he deleted it

[serene forge]

you're not walking out of this one waffle

[ancient gyro]

can you not save the image it generates

[slate vale]

Should've

[ancient gyro]

lul

[wintry ice]

well i don't want it to be sent here

i want it to be sent to the secret server

[slate vale]

Obvious

[ruby summit]

anyone interested in helping me fix my balatro lmao

[zinc hawk]

i was today years old when i realized burglar is compatible with blueprint and now my total hands is 11 with an obelisk

[olive basin]

Modded or not modded?

[slate vale]

O god

[zinc hawk]

my orange stake blue deck run boutta be really funny

[ruby summit]

not modded when I launch the game it freezes on a black screen

[olive basin]

You don’t see the divine light after a few second?

[ancient gyro]

I already forgot what I said

[ruby summit]

no i have 25 minutes played and all 25 minutes have been spent on that black screen

[serene forge]

verify game files maybe

[wintry ice]

something about fork playing billards or something of the sort

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[olive basin]

Hmm have you updated your computer and turn it off and back on again?

[ruby summit]

ive tried that

[serene forge]

billiards

[ruby summit]

yeah ive restarted my pc uninstalled and reinstalled balatro, and ive checked if all my stuff is up to date

I cannot figure it out lmao

[slate vale]

"verify local files"
Or smth like that
In another tab
Raaah forgor the name

[slate vale]

Not browse local files

Uuuh

[wintry ice]

verify game files

[slate vale]

Forgor

[slate vale]

Yeah

[ruby summit]

I verified them once i can try again

[olive basin]

Is this your first time playing balatro?

And you only have 25 minutes in the game?

[ruby summit]

that is what it looks like when i try to launch

[olive basin]

Bro it looks like you’re running the game 8 times

[ruby summit]

music is playing game time goes up but I cant do anything

[olive basin]

Open task manager

[ruby summit]

nah it like freezes

like the steam task manager?

[peak gull]

hi?

[olive basin]

Ctrl shift + escape

[slate vale]

Spam alt+f4 until your computer shuts down lol
-# Yeah it really can shutdown your computer
-# At least in some old version of w10

[slate vale]

-# IT'S A JOKE

[olive basin]

That not his problem

[ruby summit]

highest the cpu % went to was 5.2

[slate vale]

Yeah

[ruby summit]

ik lmao

[slate vale]

52 or 5.2 ?

[ruby summit]

5.2

[olive basin]

go to processes

I can’t remember the tab

[slate vale]

Huh
Just the game hasn't launched
Just steam doing steam things i guess

[slate vale]

You don't need to change the tab

[olive basin]

One them displays all current apps running

[slate vale]

It's the right one by default

[ruby summit]

but I can hear the music playing

[slate vale]

Hmm

Graphics drivers

[ruby summit]

yeah processes thats where im at

[olive basin]

Also answer this question when you get a chance @ruby summit

[slate vale]

Reinstall them manually

[cloud sinew]

okay so

[slate vale]

-# It's 25 min of debugging i think

[ruby summit]

yeah but I have not played the game at all when im on the black screen it tracks the time I spend waiting

[slate vale]

Waaa ?

[ruby summit]

pretty much

[olive basin]

I want to know if they’re new to game so if worst case scenario they can do a clean install

[wintry ice]

what's the hardware like

[slate vale]

Like wipe steam cloud ?

[cloud sinew]

do you have an AMD GPU

[slate vale]

-# for the game

[slate vale]

-# Drivers pls,,,,

[olive basin]

Kind of just wiping all the balatro data and re install it

[cloud sinew]

that wont be the issue

[slate vale]

Yeah
Wouldn't help

[olive basin]

Yes it not the issue it just something they can try if nothing works out because they’re new to game and have nothing to lose

[cloud sinew]

if its not the issue then it wont change anything.

the save won't be why their display gets fucked up from launching the game

this is an issue ive seen reported by people with AMD GPUs in the past

[ruby summit]

I do have a amd gpu

[atomic trout]

I'm missing Bull

[slate vale]

The steam overlay is also weird when you are on borderless

@ruby summit
Config

Now

Config file and enable windowed
And see

[cloud sinew]

I can't seem to find anything beyond it being a driver issue with AMD GPUs, try manually installing the latest drivers and if that doesnt work try and downgrade

[slate vale]

I have the latest ones
Loads fine

[cloud sinew]

dawg

it's not an issue across all AMD GPUs

if it was this would be a much bigger issue

[slate vale]

Aaaa,,,
Sowwy,,,

It just that there's a bug with the borderless and steam does some weird stuff too on my end

[slate vale]

It never removes the steam launch popup and just keeps it on one of the gaps and does flashy lights on the gap too

[cloud sinew]

would be good to try what you suggested for sure

[ruby summit]

It wont let me switch to windowed even when i try to force it

[zinc hawk]

orange stake beat

[slate vale]

Even in the config ?

[ruby summit]

what config

[last geyser]

Banner or joker in shop 1 ?

[slate vale]

Check every option you can find if there's a link
And also check if it reverted your changes

[ruby summit]

I am computer illiterate

[slate vale]

browse local files
Find the config file
Have fun finding the option

[slate vale]

D:

[ruby summit]

lmao

[nova elk]

Ggs

[atomic trout]

🍑🔥

[nova elk]

On phone I won on green deck, on pc I won on blue

If syncing the accounts would be available, could be useful

[atomic trout]

Not bad 🥚

[nova elk]

Yup

[atomic trout]

Green Deck can be fun 🤩

[nova elk]

Was a fun run

[atomic trout]

I forget about the lack of interest haha

I keep saving money for no reason. Maybe hermit?

Black Deck awaits

[heady narwhal]

i think it's good to keep $20 on green deck

i mean probably spend money early to take advantage of the extra econ, but past ante 4 you need all the money you can get

[crisp brook]

I just got my first run to ante 10

[jovial copper]

for the first time i got a baron/mime run on a really scuffed seed

im now dying a slow painful death because i cant score enough in 10 hands lol

[atomic trout]

I just spend it all and then Blueprint arrives 🤣

[atomic trout]

Which deck?

[crisp brook]

Yellow

[atomic trout]

The best Deck

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[slate vale]

First one
Balatrodle

I feel stupid

-# Also i saw the answer for today
-# I forgot that i saw it
-# And did whatever
-# i could've third guess without the answer easily lol
-# And when i finally found i then remembered that i saw it earlier D:

[atomic trout]

🎲

Oops! All Sixes

[signal frigate]

I hate it with a passion

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[signal frigate]

You hate every joker

[serene forge]

no i hate shitty ones

and carp sharp

[pale wolf]

carp sharp :D

[slate vale]

Card sharp + dna

My worst nightmare

[hot plank]

quick question does stencil set your mult to zero if you are over the joker limit (from negative invis joker) and does bootstraps minus your mult if youre in debt

[wintry ice]

no

[hot plank]

disappointing

[pale wolf]

how many mimes is e304

have you still not naneinf

[wintry ice]

i don't have an interest in doing another run

[pale wolf]

same

i dont have an interest in the initial run 🦓

[atomic trout]

But... 😢

[atomic trout]

It's not Black Deck

[steady gulch]

Guess im doing a straight build

[atomic trout]

I'm sucking

[signal frigate]

It's not but I still hate it

[atomic trout]

Which Deck do you like? 😋

[signal frigate]

Magic

I like Magic alot

[atomic trout]

I don't remember what it did

I'm more into Analyst Deck

Anaglyph

[frank grove]

magic is starts with two fools and crystal ball right?

[atomic trout]

Yeh

I was thinking Zodiac.. that's a different Deck... Horrid one

[frank grove]

I dont play a lot of magic

i loveee zodiac

[plain moon]

what do i replace mime with

context

[atomic trout]

Same here

[frank grove]

onyx probably?

[atomic trout]

Magic Deck is flexible when it comes to an early Hernia Hermit

[frank grove]

but also chad isnt doing too much either probably with baron mime

[atomic trout]

Or an easygoing Flush

[frank grove]

or if you get like a straight level in like first shop is nice sometimes with magic

[atomic trout]

Or sell the Two Fools

[plain moon]

chad is helpful for econ but i agree otherwise its not doing much

[frank grove]

mime with gold is better anyway

[plain moon]

and blueprint on mime?

[wintry ice]

you could sell agate if high card levels are high

[atomic trout]

Soul?

Soiled

[quick solar]

ggs

no dusk or seltzer

couldve rolled down a bit more but

wouldve bene dead within lik 3 rounds anyways

[stable owl]

Can I abuse the ancient like the idol?

My deck only has king of spades

[mortal nimbus]

no

[stable owl]

Thx bye

[mortal nimbus]

ancient is different to idol, castle and rebate in how it chooses a card (just a suit in this case)

[quick solar]

ancient only really works fully well with wild cards

[slate vale]

technically

[atomic trout]

It does??

[proven scroll]

Ye

[slate vale]

Yeah
But bosses
You have like 4 times more bosses that kill you

[atomic trout]

I never knew that. 🤯

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstseon

[atomic trout]

I know Matador does wonders with Wild cards and the Leaf

And all Debuffed cards

[slate vale]

I hate you :3
-# I hate bloodstone

[slate vale]

Babaii ancient and every card trigger jokers

[atomic trout]

Showman is good for Campfire

[lost vault]

…….how

[slate vale]

Trueeeeeee

[lost vault]

what does showman do for campfire

what

??????

[frank grove]

you can sell him to feed the campfire

[lost vault]

oh

rught

[slate vale]

Nah

[lost vault]

sell him

[atomic trout]

You sacrifice him to the fire

[lost vault]

fair

i still hate him

[slate vale]

If you played dead cells
It feels like killing your little mushroom

It feels wrong ;-;

[atomic trout]

But he's worthless. I lost many runs because of the poor Showman

[slate vale]

You can kill it infinitely (unless before tick)

[slate vale]

Bleeeh

[atomic trout]

Showman without showmanship

[slate vale]

Bleh

I will only sell bloodstone

[lost vault]

i havent lost any runs because of showman because i never take him

[atomic trout]

I love you 🎲

[spark kernel]

How does one force a baron build run

[serene forge]

oh you posted that already

[atomic trout]

Sell that blood kidney stone to the fire

[lost vault]

:3

[royal ore]

dont

[slate vale]

Waaaaaa,,,
You really-
-# jk

[serene forge]

ummmmm

[atomic trout]

Haha. We have a common enemy

[spark kernel]

But i thought baron build was really good

[slate vale]

Imagine if it would banish cards :3

[atomic trout]

Or at least make Bloodstone better

[slate vale]

Nah
The fire

Kills the stone

[slate vale]

The fires kill every stones except the shiny yellow one

[lost vault]

The only TIME it's fine.

Always take hieroglyph on black deck!!!

what's with the tilde

[atomic trout]

Because it is stupid

[slate vale]

-# Burglar ?
-# ewww

[hollow birch]

if you only have one suit, ancient joker will only choose that suit right?

so if you have all hearts, it's literally just a better bloodstone

right?

[acoustic kettle]

Balatrodle

[signal mist]

is steam balatro better than ios balatro?

[acoustic kettle]

Mobile is superior

[dusky sundial]

I second this

[serene forge]

[north smelt]

bloodstone sucks. why the mult is at the front

even it's 1/2 remove it's still meh

[wintry ice]

if the chance got removed it would just be a better but more volatile ancient joker

[north smelt]

i rather take other x mult

[wintry ice]

being outclassed isn't what makes throwback useless

[pale wolf]

is this satire

[mortal summit]

Crazy

[wintry ice]

hi car

[mortal summit]

Hi

[terse dock]

Balatrodle in 1

[signal mist]

woah really?

[young token]

Oops all sixes: the run

[signal mist]

I woulda assumed steam balatro would have more features modding and other stuff

[terse dock]

They lied

[serene forge]

I hate

[pale wolf]

it does

mobile balatro ui is nicer imo but steam balatro has more possibilities

such as being modded to work like mobile ui

[acoustic kettle]

I'm just stupid

[dawn dove]

Hallo everyone!

New here, prolly should have joined earlier lol, I love balatro

[slate vale]

Hi new person :0

[dawn dove]

Anyone wanna check out my balatro skip tags rework ideas?

IDK where that would be posted tbh

Also, Niko PFP spotted

Click in the server icon and click on "show all channels"

hello purple twink from digital circus

[steady gulch]

Well it was fun

[dawn dove]

Would it be tecnically in fan art? Or suggestions?

[slate vale]

Suggestions channel i guess?

Yeah yeah :3

[dawn dove]

Thank you!

Gonna be opening up a forum

[dapper belfry]

what does blank voucher do

[dawn dove]

Nothing

[wintry ice]

it just unlocks a fairly good voucher later

[dawn dove]

Mhm

[polar talon]

Balatrez

[modest siren]

Yet another gold stake win without seltzer 😢

[lapis blade]

Balatro Balatrez Balatro

[dawn dove]

@sick hornet . Sup

[last geyser]

Would it be stupid to take supernova ?

[dawn dove]

Black deck, what is your deck rn?

[last geyser]

Black deck

Hmm

Orange stake got me stressing

[dawn dove]

Any enhancements? Any cards cut down?

[lunar zealot]

im not gonna ngl green joker would be pretty good here but it's hard to scale

[last geyser]

Nah

[last geyser]

I would on any other deck

[dawn dove]

Both supernova and green joker are good, but slighly less good in black deck

[lunar zealot]

i still would on black tbh

[last geyser]

Hmmm

[dawn dove]

I think the scary face doesn't hurt any builds

[last geyser]

True

[dawn dove]

Except invisible joker shenaningans

[dawn dove]

If you're just seeking to ante 8: Scary Face. Wanna try your luck and go further? Green or supernova, depending what's more your cup of tea

[last geyser]

I just wanna win ante 8

[dawn dove]

I think scary face then, Always believe in the shop reroll temperance 🙏

[last geyser]

Okkk

Thx

[lost vault]

???

why is scary face better than green for ante 8

green is great

[last geyser]

Nvm I sold

And lost

Ahhhh

I’m losing my mind on this deck

[wintry ice]

suggesting a scaling +mult joker for endless sure is some advice

[tranquil steppe]

It’s not

[mellow cypress]

if I can take burglar before 24 should I? or risk roll down after

[dawn dove]

Jk lol

[mellow cypress]

ik its not in screenshot

[dawn dove]

I just said that cuz you could sell it

Unlike the scary face

[last geyser]

Someone give me advice plssss

For black deck

Orange stake

[dawn dove]

Pray 🙏

[last geyser]

Ts is Impossible

[dawn dove]

OK, but fr, seek stability

Don't try crazy stuff

just try to make it through the early antes

[lost vault]

151 what

[mellow cypress]

spend aggressively early to survive then generate interest

[dawn dove]

yep, this ☝️

And don't be afraid of taking some early eternals if that means you'll make it through the first ante

[last geyser]

Hmmmm

Okk

[lost vault]

also wear thigh high socks to improve bloodflow to the brain snd enhance thinking capacity

trust me it works

frfr

[dawn dove]

And don't forget to send links of your providers, for my friends I mean

[mellow cypress]

taking an eternal early common scoring card is fine, you do not need to go lategame

[last geyser]

😂

[mellow cypress]

taking rentals if you can get value whether it be money or tarots BEFORE you win, and sell them

0 dollar loss for mid round value

suit changers are get out of jail free, rip a flush house

[wintry ice]

they're a safe way to force your way out of a bad boss in the first two antes

[dawn dove]

green joker + square joker +any times mult = easy ante 8 win

[mellow cypress]

and they dont break early deck fixing much at all

prioritise surviving over value, dont greed playing the gold card or not

play it

[dawn dove]

Still find crazy that in the demo, hanging chad was only one rettriger

[shell dagger]

and in 1.0

[last geyser]

Do I take smiley face ?

[dawn dove]

What's the boss blind?

[wintry ice]

that's the safest option

[last geyser]

The club

[dawn dove]

Smiley face is safe, take it, invis ante1 is gonna get you killed

[wintry ice]

i think getting a fine scoring joker this early is better than trying for potential from invis

this applies less to the other decks

but black's earlygame is particularly terrible

[dawn dove]

BTW, the same applies to the copy jokers, as much as it hurts

[last geyser]

My hate for this deck rn can’t be described

And I’m not even on gold stake yet 😥

[dawn dove]

I would say it gets easier in gold stake in some ways imo lol

[last geyser]

How?

I lost again

[frank grove]

gold stake doesnt change too much, the rentals can help you occasionally, like a rental half joker can one shot the boss and give you some easy leads sometimes

[dawn dove]

Rentals only cost 1 dollar, one of the main problems with black deck is that you get less money

[last geyser]

Hmmm

I see

[dawn dove]

Sure, you lose 3 dollars, but better than being dead

[shell dagger]

rentals absolutely do not make black deck easier what

on average

[frank grove]

it entirely depends on what rentals they are

[dawn dove]

Not like super duper easy, but it gives you options

It's ambivalent

[last geyser]

First shop square joker

This could be potential

[dawn dove]

Like, for example, you can get a lot of value in a round from a rental mail in rebate

a mail in rebate that you could not have usually afforded

[shell dagger]

it’s $4

if you can’t usually afford a $4 joker something else is wrong

[frank grove]

this is like talking about very early game stuff

[dawn dove]

In black deck, small blind you only gain 3

[frank grove]

like first 4 rounds

[dawn dove]

the other 4 is used in a "I need to survive" joker

[dawn dove]

And early game is where black deck struggles the most

[shell dagger]

ok remember we were talking about averages

[lost vault]

miaw~

[shell dagger]

getting both an “I need to survive” joker and rebate is a highly above average scenario

most of the time early rentals just kill you

[dawn dove]

I mean, rentals make the game hard, but doesn't make any harder than in any other deck in the late game, meanwhile it can save you some money in the early game

[mellow cypress]

gg go next

[hidden lintel]

where do i go to play pvp balatro?

[last geyser]

Nicee

[shell dagger]

purple stake can also save you some money in the earlygame

[mellow cypress]

it is a mod, join their discord

[shell dagger]

but on average it doesn’t, so nobody mentions it

[hidden lintel]

k, thanks!

[mellow cypress]

earn you more

[shell dagger]

same thang

[last geyser]

Interesting

[mellow cypress]

saving you would be lower cost of some kind

earning is generating value

[dawn dove]

And the thing about rentals

is that you can sell them

You cannot sell a purple stake

[frank grove]

yeah you can get like a faceless proc for a dollar and then just sell it if you really need the money

[bleak hemlock]

Miaoww

[dawn dove]

Ye, the negative is the play here

[last geyser]

OMGGGG

I clicked discard instead of play

😡😡😡😡

[dawn dove]

Lol

[shell dagger]

im not saying you can’t do this, but this is still worse than keeping the value generator without the rental fee

[last geyser]

I somehow survived tho

[dawn dove]

A two pair with some of the suits shouls still save you

[shell dagger]

using rental econs for 1 round is a workaround, not a buff

[mellow cypress]

the only "buff" rentals provide is to campfire

[digital pewter]

i can feel myself becoming pair-ified

[last geyser]

Chad or riff raff here ???

[dawn dove]

Chad

[shell dagger]

campfire, cola, could consider dagger

[dawn dove]

Riff rat is is quite good

[dawn dove]

Dagger get worse

[mellow cypress]

chad is amazing but riff raff can let you find chad and a photo

[dawn dove]

Cuz it takes into account sell value

[mellow cypress]

dagger needs sell value

rentals are all 1

[last geyser]

Hmmm

[dawn dove]

you only would need 2 mult

[shell dagger]

no it doesn’t, it’s incredibly efficient earlygame

for the money to mult ratio

[last geyser]

Chad will work with smiley and wrathful

But idk riff raff is so cool

[mellow cypress]

riff raff, again, can let you find them and you're safe for now, plus it's economy

[last geyser]

Aight

[mellow cypress]

would take riff

[dawn dove]

Riff raft is a econ joker, and that's good on black deck, but I would take the security of the chad

[last geyser]

Hmmmmm

[heady monolith]

Hey how do I get mult for photochad besides hand lvls?

[mellow cypress]

and yes it keeps you safe from stickers

[dawn dove]

Rn you gotta buld interest

[mellow cypress]

glass/luckies

play flush 5

base mult

[dawn dove]

Usually by an enhancement in the first face card, or if you aren't using hanging chad, by puting the face card at the end

[heady monolith]

Photochad

[serene forge]

I hate The Idol

[serene forge]

riff

[dawn dove]

Then an enhancement if you cannot make a flush 5

[serene forge]

empress cards

smiley face, though you usually don't want to bother keeping that around for too long

[dawn dove]

idol is this weird joker that sucks then suddently becomes op in endless

[mellow cypress]

!?!?!?

you get 1 proc that gives value

[last geyser]

Ok I died to the wall by 100 score 😥

[mellow cypress]

your base hand mult of a flush 5 is more valuable

[serene forge]

i mean hand levels are your primary way of getting mult for photochad

[shell dagger]

empress is way easier to get than flush 5

[mellow cypress]

and glass

[serene forge]

so if you ignore that of course your other options are gonna be less good

also don't play flush five if you don't have to

3oak is good enough for photochad

[shell dagger]

and if you’ve got flush 5 online then u also have hand levels online

[mellow cypress]

pair is good enough

[serene forge]

just don't play anything with shit mult scaling

[mellow cypress]

pair scaling is dumby good

[serene forge]

not really for mult

[mellow cypress]

you mean like

[serene forge]

that's kind of why photochad is cringe

because it kinda sucks with pairs

[last geyser]

Holy

[serene forge]

what the FUCK are you doing

[mellow cypress]

I play a lot of plasma deck

[shell dagger]

uranus should be higher then

[serene forge]

saturn should be higher

[shell dagger]

mars

[serene forge]

what you really meant to say is

you play a lot of endless

[mellow cypress]

I dont play a lot of plasma gold stake, I find it too easy, I prefer other decks on gold

[shell dagger]

gotcha

[mellow cypress]

plasma I play for funny big numbers and when I wanna just econ hard

[serene forge]

reasonable actually

I hate Plasma Deck

[formal abyss]

plasma gs is easy????

[mellow cypress]

yes

[serene forge]

plasma gs is easy if you're trying to win once

it's not easy at all if you're trying to be consistent

[formal abyss]

its inconsistent asl

[frank grove]

fairly easy, the early game is cheap and you dont really need to take many risks early, but its harder to win like in streaks

[mellow cypress]

must I prove a point

[formal abyss]

purple stake scaling with a vv finisher is gone

[mellow cypress]

we dont talk about that

[last geyser]

Is this the play?

[serene forge]

Horse

[serene forge]

uh no

[mellow cypress]

🙄

[shell dagger]

YESSSSS

[serene forge]

to do list is really bad to ankh

eh fuck it

go for it

[mellow cypress]

which did you get first

[serene forge]

not every day can you get a double stencil

[formal abyss]

just scum if it doesnt hit stencil

[last geyser]

Ok thank god

[formal abyss]

yay

[mellow cypress]

will it copy stencil?

[last geyser]

I got stencil

[serene forge]

yooooooo

gg

find mult and gg

[shell dagger]

all this proves is that you had 1 plasma gold stake win that was easy

it doesn’t mean plasma deck gold stake is easy every time

[last geyser]

Do I take this ?

[shell dagger]

yes

[mellow cypress]

I've had a bunch, some really damn difficult, I've had to brutalise my way through VV a few times

[shell dagger]

hence not an easy deck to win consistently

[serene forge]

best joker in the game obviously

[mellow cypress]

But again, I dont play too much plasma gold stake

[mellow cypress]

horse shite

99% of time

[serene forge]

how so

i won gold stake with it

;)

[mellow cypress]

see this is what we like to see

[mellow cypress]

because 99% of the time you wont have the necessary deck fixing

[last geyser]

Wait hold up

Is this the play?

[serene forge]

but i won gold stake with it

that means it has to be a good joker right

[mellow cypress]

yes

[serene forge]

spoiler tag

[mellow cypress]

2x compared to 2.25

[last geyser]

Should I sell green?

[sharp crystal]

Sorry

[mellow cypress]

why

[last geyser]

For more on stencil

[serene forge]

no you need the mult

[mellow cypress]

you need base mult but also

[last geyser]

Oh ok

[mellow cypress]

winning slower i good right now

you have to do list

[last geyser]

What hand should I try focus on

Pair?

[mellow cypress]

yes

spammable

[shell dagger]

it’s the same with baseball as it is without: 3*3 = 2*2*2.25 = 9

[mellow cypress]

if you get good deck fixing something like 4oak has good scaling

[shell dagger]

actually ignore me

[mellow cypress]

yeah

[last geyser]

Hmm Okk thx

[mellow cypress]

cos also can remove grimbo and get another baseball proc

but if another ecto comes go for pairs

^^^

cos you should 100% take

not another ankh unless you save scum

[shell dagger]

but the reasoning isn’t 2x vs 2.25, it’s 4x4 < 3x3x2.25

[last geyser]

Holy

What do I do

[mellow cypress]

yeah my explaination was bad

[mellow cypress]

sell baseball and grimbo

[last geyser]

Okk

[mellow cypress]

that is a lot of Xmult

next ecto free

[last geyser]

I regret wasting my money

[mellow cypress]

just try scale mercury a lot

[sick hornet]

hiya

From reddit?

Check #1155557846805643434 for all our cool stuff

[last geyser]

Do I take ?

[mellow cypress]

I dont think you need it

whats ur money

the mega celestial would be good

if you can afford

if not just go for more interest, if you got 14 or more maybe arcana

incase of temperance/hermit

[shell dagger]

you’d go from 64x mult to 27x, so take mystic summit if +15 mult to your base hand mult is more valuable than 2.37x mult

[last geyser]

7

[last geyser]

So should I take it temporarily?

[shell dagger]

idk, is +15 mult better than 2.37x

only you know

[frank grove]

woof

i hate the tribe

[mellow cypress]

dont buy shit you need money online

[last geyser]

Like I’ll score more but I’m already scoring a lot more than the required score rn

[last geyser]

Oh ok

[mellow cypress]

I heckin love flushes

[frank grove]

i rarely play flush builds but i guess now is the day

[last geyser]

OMG

[last geyser]

DO I DO IT ?!?!?

[weak shale]

nah it’s too risky

[last geyser]

Hmmm

Idkkkk

Imagine it hits blueprint

[scenic sigil]

HIT IT

[mellow cypress]

just save scum

[last geyser]

But immolate is so good too

[mellow cypress]

it will hit blueprint I believe

you are at interest cap immolate is less good

[molten shore]

I think I may play straights too much lol

[mellow cypress]

you could sell blueprint and it will hit stencil @last geyser

but that is

[last geyser]

Hmmm true

[scenic sigil]

I've never seen this in my life

[mellow cypress]

silly option

free win though

[frank grove]

save scumming sucks, not that its a bad thing it just doesnt feel very balatro

[last geyser]

Ok I’m gonna send it

[scenic sigil]

Just send it

[mellow cypress]

it is a matter of personal taste and opinion

[last geyser]

It hit stencil hahhaha

[scenic sigil]

W still

[mellow cypress]

did you sell BP?

[last geyser]

No lol

[mellow cypress]

-4 dollars 🥀

smh

[last geyser]

It’s ok

[molten shore]

Even though lately I have been winning with the other hands, for the longest time I thought straights were the best build because of the planet scaling

[mellow cypress]

😠

[last geyser]

Should I still be levelling up pair ?

It’s only level 4 and I don’t have green anymore

[mellow cypress]

yes

[scenic sigil]

Duh

[last geyser]

Aight

[scenic sigil]

My pairs still haven't caught up to my flushes

only a little less than a thousand left now

[last geyser]

Bro what is this run hahahhahahaha

Blueprint came back

[mellow cypress]

very nice

[pale vector]

I keep getting unlucky in the runs

can't make it past 4th ante

[mellow cypress]

not luck

watch doc

[pale vector]

?

[mellow cypress]

doc spectred

[pale vector]

what's that

[mellow cypress]

youtuber

watch him and you will improve

[last geyser]

Should I skip boss blind ?

[mellow cypress]

are you one shotting blinds?

[last geyser]

Yeah

[mellow cypress]

then dont

you'll be fine

[last geyser]

With 3 hands

[mellow cypress]

it could reroll into worse

violet vessel

[last geyser]

True

Oh wait I will win this one

I just need to play 3 pairs

Let’s goo

Only one left

Black deck gold stake

[spark kernel]

Peak start

[last geyser]

W

[pale vector]

Balatro University

[terse dock]

[mellow cypress]

[pale vector]

[terse dock]

Yeah my son got hit by a car recently

[mellow cypress]

womp

[leaden canopy]

Finally unlocked everything in Balatro by winning my first Orange Stake run today.

Holographic Onyx Agate, Eternal Polychrome Cartomancer and Foil Constellation and Card Sharp carried the scoring. Though I did accidentally sell my Blueprint.

[swift moss]

who doesn't

[serene forge]

redditors

[spark kernel]

Orange stake is making me lose it

[heavy heron]

well alright then

baron was on very very last roll of final shop LOOLLL

didn’t need him but was cool

[night turret]

Hmmm boss bind seems tricky

Maybe I should skip to re roll

[gentle wedge]

i need to skip the rental cavendish, right?

[hybrid tendon]

yes

[acoustic kettle]

Take it

[terse pendant]

guys

my cavendish just broke 1 round after I got it

🔥 🔥 🔥

[fervent pebble]

itll be in the next shop trust

fun build

[hybrid tendon]

cavendish breaking is the worst thing ever

[fervent pebble]

my constellation was like 6x or something

[terse pendant]

it’s the first time it’s ever happened to me

[twin lantern]

My god. I finally get it

I love balatro

[fervent pebble]

no this game sucks

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rocky tiger]

i think bloodstone must be this player's favorite joker!

[fervent pebble]

royal flush with no hands or discards used

what the fuck

[fervent pebble]

👁️👁️

[acoustic kettle]

A

[atomic trout]

WHOOOOT! 🔥🔥🔥

High Card Champ

Should have done Pairs..

[fervent pebble]

best deal ever

[runic lodge]

Just got my first perkeo unfortunatley wasnt able to get anything combod into it to get past the 7 mill small blind

[analog mulch]

NO

[lunar zealot]

<@&1133519078540185692> crush his skull

[analog mulch]

YOU CANT BE SERIOUS

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS

[fervent pebble]

this is what black deck was made for

both the negatives are completely useless

lmao

[lunar zealot]

'completely useless' and it's sly and square

[fervent pebble]

flush deck

[lunar zealot]

if you're playing pairs then that's your chips sorted

[analog mulch]

Square isn't as bad a sly

[lunar zealot]

see that's the problem

this is clearly a pair build

[fervent pebble]

🥹

[lunar zealot]

thank you

[analog mulch]

Madness and non-eternal Blueprint

[night turret]

Sell juggler to get another joker

Open baffon pack

Juggler inside,

[fervent pebble]

juggler is peak

[pine swift]

Is it wirth skipping brainstorm for economy

Worth*

[weak relic]

Finally... I am free

[lost vault]

gay corn

[fervent pebble]

yep

[lost vault]

:3

[night turret]

Peak early game, but I was on ante 6 and really wanted to win

Also, FUCK

THIS DAMN BANANA WONT GO ROTTEN

[fervent pebble]

nahhh

[night turret]

Oooh but that’s a good set up what you got

[fervent pebble]

this was a while ago

[night turret]

BUT CARD SHARP CAME IN CLUTCH!!!

Black deck, black stake finally Beated

[fervent pebble]

how do my glass cards always break first use

oh my god

[acoustic kettle]

R

[night turret]

When trying to get that one glass break achievement, it was like always one

But after that, it’s always 2 to 3

[wary holly]

guys, do i use this on my glass king or on my another steel king?

[night turret]

Depends on which one. You get first drawn

But looking at the joker line up, I’d say the glass

[wary holly]

my plan is to flood my deck with it

ok, thx

can i know the reasoning?

or just instinct? lol

[glossy forge]

ChiGOAT

Massive girthy obelisk

I think I replace abstract with boots

[foggy sun]

sixth sense synergy

Honestly, I think I just run 4 of a kind 6's here right?

[hybrid tendon]

true

[wary holly]

do i take the eternal hanging chad?

its so crazy that a game like this, so little, can have broad decisionmake that lead to reasonably good runs

but playing perfect is kinda hard

[fervent pebble]

cause its all rng

youre just trying to reduce it in your favour

[marsh dove]

ill ankh twice surely i wont get the single worst hits possible

[fervent pebble]

this game gives me so much eyestrain holy

[wary holly]

nah, this game is way more skill than rng

i have 15 kings on my deck (most of them steel and glass), should i aim for what type of hand to get the most long term scores?

[acoustic kettle]

Hey at least it is poly

[nova elk]

Tips for abandoned deck?

[acoustic kettle]

Play bigger hands

The deck is already fixed to make it easier

[nova elk]

Like flush and above?

Or straights

[worn meteor]

Straights

Deck manip is also stronger on abandoned deck so something like 4oak could also be viable

You can also play flushes if you get ancient joker or something

[manic talon]

BARON POG BARON

[fervent pebble]

baron sucks

[knotty iris]

yo HOW did i not get jupitar

mb

[nova elk]

4oak?

[fervent pebble]

chicot is so boring

[lost vault]

you did

it was a mega pack, you took jupiter and then took th screenshot

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[lost vault]

ignoring the glass card i see

[worn meteor]

four of a kind

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone is GOATed

[lost vault]

id assume theres more

[manic talon]

i still have 4 more hands i would win no matter what

god forbid i play for my highest score in the last round

[lost vault]

im just gonna pretend that your scoring came from the glass

uwu

[calm furnace]

do you get 9 dollars?

[marsh dove]

yes

sketchiest obelisk to ever do it

[knotty iris]

i didnt

unless i forgot about it

[lost vault]

no pack has 4 cards in it

[marsh dove]

dementia

[lost vault]

theres standard with 3, and jumbo/mega with 5

[knotty iris]

YOOO IM GEEKED

IM SO SORRY

[lost vault]

you can only get 4 if uou open a mega and take one

[knotty iris]

SHIT MY BAD

[lost vault]

you mustve taken jupiter in a mega

[orchid cargo]

Dudes tweaking

[marsh dove]

the lineup

campfire was needed until a polychrome blueprint made the run free

flat mult was swashbuckler until i sold for campfire value

[mellow cypress]

I know its bait.... however, already have a red seal....

[wary holly]

what joker do i substitute with cavendish? ;-;

[mellow cypress]

show deck

[wary holly]

wtf

obs failed lmao

[mellow cypress]

trading can prolly go

[wary holly]

thx

i need more retrigger in this build

i feel like i can break my record by a great margin

[potent tree]

i just fumbled a huge run because i got cocky...

[wary holly]

do i change the fortune teller for burnt joker? i plan to upgrade my 5 of a kind (lvl 9)

so many hard decisions ;-;

[torpid bridge]

No

[wary holly]

i feel it scales more than fortune teller

[torpid bridge]

Unless you want to pivot your build to high cards

[wary holly]

would that be good?

[torpid bridge]

Your build wont take you far anyway

[wary holly]

why? ;-;

[torpid bridge]

Its not a long run build

[torpid bridge]

It scales too slowly

Probably close to never scales after ante 10

[torpid bridge]

You have a lot of kings right?

[wary holly]

yeah

[torpid bridge]

If you have high level high card and baron u can make the baron build works

But its too late now

[wary holly]

;-;

how to make long run builds faster?

[wary holly]

you seem to have a lot of experience

[hardy fable]

have more money

[torpid bridge]

Best combo is baron, mime

But it needs alot of deck fixing and econ

[wary holly]

if i had mime or baron this would go crazy

[torpid bridge]

Not good enough

And you dont have an econ plan

I dont see any econ jokers

Your cards arent gold also

If u have baron mime i think you can get e13

Or e14

Around that

[balmy gulch]

Just ankhed an invis joker and then when I sold them they copied eachother

Devastating result

[calm furnace]

I FAT FINGERED AND CLICKED NEXT ROUND INSTEAD OF BUYING MR BONES AGHHHBB

[wary holly]

BROOOOOOO

[potent tree]

let me cry, let me cry

(no i am not selling everything for that)

[celest spade]

credit card in a judgement arcana pack

trust

[potent tree]

nope there wasn't.

[lost vault]

sell everything

[celest spade]

i was joking don’t open arcana’s at $5 😭

[potent tree]

pray for immolate in spectral pack? or buy bs outright

[celest spade]

i’d buy bs

if you miss you won’t be able to afford it at all

[wary holly]

photograph or fortune teller?

[celest spade]

what’s your hand levels?

[hasty vault]

Lost yet another gold stake run to the plant 😡😡

[hasty vault]

Ante 7 too 😭

[celest spade]

also is that a jimbo 😭

[calm furnace]

plz stencil pleassee

[wary holly]

what is jimbo?

[celest spade]

joker that is normal +4 mult

[calm furnace]

i got braintsotrm its joever

[hasty vault]

That's glass joker

[wary holly]

no

[celest spade]

ah, glass

[wary holly]

so, photo?

[hasty vault]

Keep fortune teller since your build is based on flat mult with big x mult

You have two cartomancers

[celest spade]

unless you have a way to retrigger it nah. photo gives you +42 at most while FT gives you +90

[hasty vault]

Oh, LMAO

[wary holly]

ok, thx for advice

[hasty vault]

They really do look similar

[wary holly]

yeah lol

[glass forum]

umm , guys what should i play? one card or five of kind?

[wary holly]

same for jimbo and glass

[hasty vault]

Isn't high card better for naninf/high ante runs?

[wary holly]

ig its my configs (high CRT)

[hasty vault]

Since you have way more kings for baron to trigger

[celest spade]

yeah unless it’s smth like idol + dusk high card is good

[glass forum]

ok lemme try

[celest spade]

though you uhh… may want some planet levels

considering you have no chips

besides 50 on the bull

[hasty vault]

Reaching ante 11 with lvl 2 high card is wild though

[glass forum]

hehe

[calm furnace]

chat would have i won if i used a good hand

[calm furnace]

flushes le bad

[potent tree]

splash dies here correct?

[hasty vault]

This is why I am a pair propagandist

[calm furnace]

btw never putting gold seal on a 2 again from now on gold only on Aces

[torpid bridge]

Idol can also work in high antes run

[calm furnace]

hard to use 2 as a discard hand and get money

[celest spade]

it’s so funny i remember all the debates in early balatro days of “flush vs. high card” and seeing so many people glaze flushes cuz they were easy

[hasty vault]

You don't need the lusty joker, unless your hand lvl is low.

[celest spade]

now i guess pairs are the new high card

but i remember all my winning runs were high card builds. halfsies takes another W
