[pale wolf]

[lost vault]

[tranquil steppe]

Get some Brooks

[mental tulip]

I go through a pair every couple months lol

[heavy heron]

.......i guess so

[cloud sinew]

ive never enjoyed running (undiagnosed asthma for 20 years), might give it a go now that im actually being treated for it

[ancient gyro]

i cant imagine how many socks

are laid to waste

[lost vault]

sounds expensive qwq

[mental tulip]

it's cheaper than most hobbies tho

that's the only expense

[lost vault]

i see i see

[mental tulip]

also I can afford it 🙂 thanks for buying balatro

[pale wolf]

when I was doing trail running I invested in some barefoot/ zero drop shoes (invested as a big word, they were $20) and that was the most comfortable thing I ever hiked in

[mental tulip]

[ancient gyro]

i have a knack for trail running as a physical hobby/distraction. gym memberships are too expensive nowadays

[lost vault]

thanks for making balatro its really fun

[tranquil steppe]

So you’re a true runner. Btw I emailed you a little bit ago. Idk if you’re still checking that though

[ancient gyro]

despite still having one

[cloud sinew]

my dad and brother both paint warhammer figures, so im sure that's true.

[mental tulip]

I rarely reply sorry

[heavy heron]

this might sound odd but i enjoy power walking more than running

i do it a lot

[mental tulip]

I get a lot of emails

[tranquil steppe]

No. thank you!

[wintry ice]

bruh

[lost vault]

actually i should just highkey hit up the climbing gym every week is free for students

[heavy heron]

it's free??

[mental tulip]

do it climbing is fun

[heavy heron]

do it

[lost vault]

i love climbing yes

[ancient gyro]

perhaps removing the 1.1 beta tester would double your listed probabilities

[tranquil steppe]

All good. I can only imagine the tens of thousands of emails you must have

[ancient gyro]

aahhh obstacle courses 🗣️

[quick solar]

:3

[trim notch]

I miss my ex girlfriend so mucg

[heavy heron]

i still remember that pic you sent of that crazy obstacle course you sent

[tranquil steppe]

You all should know by now that’s a joke.

[mental tulip]

wait 1.1 beta tester?

[wintry ice]

well this is a better start

[heavy heron]

how does anybody traverse that thing

[cloud sinew]

i was curious about the merchandise; how much goes towards you when someone buys the deck of cards/plush/clothes, etc?

[mental tulip]

know something I don't?

[ancient gyro]

yeah haha

[wintry ice]

you didn't notice that until now?

[tranquil steppe]

lol I can remove it. It’s a joke good sir

[mental tulip]

Same as my normal split with playstack

which is NDA

[trim notch]

I wish my girlfriend was here

[mental tulip]

but still, it's the same

[trim notch]

i hate blodstonw

[ancient gyro]

that's nice

[trim notch]

[wintry ice]

+mult and xmult back to back

[cloud sinew]

good to know

[lost vault]

i hope idol gets a rework

[wintry ice]

surely there's a mercury in celestial now

[lost vault]

anyway

meow

[trim notch]

atp im just sayin random word they be only putting atention to thunk 😭

[dreamy basalt]

Cant wait for my vampire jimbo plushie

[wintry ice]

there was a pluto

[mental tulip]

pls stop

[trim notch]

I mean is a global joker that gives x2 mult

[wintry ice]

chat do i go saturn again

[heavy heron]

hey localthunk what's your favorite hand type

[mental tulip]

uhhhh

[heavy heron]

is it flushes ❤️

[lost vault]

wut

[mental tulip]

2 pair?

[cloud sinew]

two pair still?

yay

[mental tulip]

hmm

[ancient gyro]

this one?

[mental tulip]

3oak

[trim notch]

is good

[cloud sinew]

thirty a kind

[wintry ice]

that's a fair option

[trim notch]

I dont think it needs a reqork

[heavy heron]

a chips lover

[lost vault]

i think thunk told me flushes are stinky or domething

[wintry ice]

3oak is awesome

[mental tulip]

I like either 2 pair or 3oak builds

[trim notch]

ok im sorry

[mental tulip]

they're fun

[heavy heron]

YES TAHT THING

WTF IS THAT

and why does it look so fun

[wintry ice]

hey localthunk do i go for the safe play and choose pluto or have fun and choose saturn

[dreamy basalt]

What the shit

[lost vault]

3oaks are fun yes

[mental tulip]

saturn all the way

[ancient gyro]

those are pretty refreshing to do as secondary options

[lost vault]

venus

[mental tulip]

wym secondary

[heavy heron]

bro lowkey 3oak do be underrated

[wintry ice]

okay

[ancient gyro]

games aren't games if they're not fun

[cloud sinew]

localthunk himself has said that he doesnt like Idol's design;
"Idol is a horrible joker", "Idol might be the worst design in the whole game actually, next to matador"

[ancient gyro]

like after pairs

[safe moat]

I was kinda joking about actually using throwback but I did die

[ancient gyro]

backup plan

[wintry ice]

i'm probably still going to save my fools until later

[lost vault]

idol definitely needs a rework, it is borderline unusable

[trim notch]

[mental tulip]

did I actually say that

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[mental tulip]

I don't doubt it

[safe moat]

Yes

[pale wolf]

oh yes you did

everybody agreed, which is why everybody remembers it

[mental tulip]

it's butt

[ancient gyro]

i think we bring this up every week lol

[tranquil steppe]

SpongeBob is a fun combo

[cloud sinew]

idol is ass and i love that youve spoken about it so negatively

[heavy heron]

you mean a whole 2x on a random scoring card is bad? 💔

[safe moat]

yeah we don’t like idol

[heavy heron]

yea it's bad

[wintry ice]

i'm winning this

[cloud sinew]

a joker slot for a rotating glass card 🔥

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

[pale wolf]

now's my time to submit my proposal to just make it choose three cards from your deck

🦓

[mental tulip]

I love the art so much tho

[heavy heron]

or make it 7 of clubs

hehehe

[safe moat]

This is my first time catching localthunk

[wintry ice]

idol is an incredibly all or nothing joker

[mental tulip]

That's one of my favourite designs for the pixel art, it was really fun to draw

[safe moat]

Yeah fr

[heavy heron]

still would take it over a bloodstone

[mental tulip]

hello finn

[safe moat]

Hiii

[mental tulip]

may your runs be blessed by me, John Balatro

only Finn

not the rest of you

[safe moat]

I need that c++ gamer status

[ancient gyro]

there's not a lot of art I'd see get changed in 1.1 in my head, it would just throw my muscle memory all in disarray

[heavy heron]

wtf

no wonder i've been losing

[cloud sinew]

which Joker(s) had the most art/design iterations?

[pale wolf]

flower pot please

[heavy heron]

my runs have yet to be blessed by the john balatro himself

[mental tulip]

get rekt

[ancient gyro]

k it was nice knowing me

[wintry ice]

flower pot could usea slight tweak

[mental tulip]

What?????

[heavy heron]

i'll get you back... i'll never play 3oak or 2 pair again!

[mental tulip]

the art???

[wintry ice]

matador should be more consistent with it's wording

[tranquil steppe]

See I told you bloodstone forgives your sins

[ancient gyro]

what's wrong with the pot art lol

[pale wolf]

I just feel like the Joker effect would fit a bouquet of different flowers

[mental tulip]

flower pot art is beautiful

[pale wolf]

I understand the reference though

[safe moat]

Yall want to change the art of some jokers?

Why?

[tranquil steppe]

Burnt is my fave

[cloud sinew]

4 of the same flower;
joker's effect is 4 different suits

[heavy heron]

it is beautiful

[proven canopy]

If i know it's bait why do i want it so bad

[ancient gyro]

no im just saying it's happened before

[mental tulip]

flower pot ❤️

let me think which art is the worst

gotta pull it up

[heavy heron]

although it'd be cool if the 4 flower heads had each a different color (black red blue orange)

[safe moat]

Oh well I think most if not all jokers designs are pretty iconic especially blueprint

[pale wolf]

definitely chaos theory, that's why you didn't use it after all /s

[heavy heron]

if "worst" means basic, maybe stencil

[ancient gyro]

do you plan on updating joker art that have white empty backgrounds like sixth sense or baron or

[heavy heron]

i mean it's just a black silhouette

[proven canopy]

Obelisk

[pale wolf]

oh shit you just reminded me

[tranquil steppe]

Not red card?

[pale wolf]

Egg is a food Joker but it doesn't have a background like all the other food Jokers

[safe moat]

Stencils good though

[heavy heron]

LOL ACTUALLY MAYBE

[ancient gyro]

not like a nitpick it was more of an interesting thing I picked up

[mental tulip]

hmmmmmm

[heavy heron]

it's literally just a red texture

red card

[mental tulip]

here I'm gonna make a list of the ones I like the least

[wintry ice]

egg is also the only food joker that doesn't self destruct

[heavy heron]

actually forgive me

"joker" is etched on the lower right

[pale wolf]

cola

[cloud sinew]

piss card is even worse

[safe moat]

Is red card a painting card or a soccer reference

[ancient gyro]

howtobasic background

[heavy heron]

i'm leaming towards the latter

[proven canopy]

Football

[rugged umbra]

can we get a yellow card

[ancient gyro]

⚽

[heavy heron]

green card 🤤

[cloud sinew]

worst joker art in the entire game

[ancient gyro]

red card but negative

[cloud sinew]

piss card

[ancient gyro]

yellow card reference

[proven canopy]

Oh wait i thought that was a fake localthunk

[safe moat]

I’m excited for the new jokers

[heavy heron]

it hurts my eyes

[gloomy vigil]

joeker

[safe moat]

Why is hologram the only other joker that floats above his cars like the legendaries

[rugged umbra]

i think you all dont get the genius that is the red card

[ancient gyro]

hate and like for joker art is sorta just saying
"what's your favorite pokemon"

[pale wolf]

He's a hologram.

[heavy heron]

because he's holographic

[proven canopy]

Except balatro is better

[rugged umbra]

no hes foil

[pale wolf]

Lilo, holographic is what holograms are

[heavy heron]

ahhhh you got me

[wintry ice]

hologram should give +10 mult by default

[pale wolf]

That is the adjective

[safe moat]

Bruh

[mental tulip]

Blue Joker
sixth sense
faceless
erosion
to the moon
shoot the moon
walkie talkie

Those are the only ones I think are sub par

[pale wolf]

I don't know why it's not hologramatic but it's not

[ancient gyro]

wait no the perishable tag

[mental tulip]

of those probably blue joker is my least fav

[heavy heron]

blue joker is cool

really

[ancient gyro]

stm 💔

[safe moat]

You don’t like erosion?

[mental tulip]

the art

[safe moat]

Yeah why

[pale wolf]

To the moon? but I love that one

[safe moat]

I like it

[proven canopy]

Tbh i didnt even know what erosion was supposed to convey for a good second

[distant thunder]

i like the to the moon art

stonks

[ancient gyro]

well i can kinda see stm

[heavy heron]

i mean i don't think it's that bad

[pale wolf]

I could definitely see erosion having a better card art though

[safe moat]

It’s blue

[mental tulip]

the issue with blue joker is like... what is it

[latent egret]

WRONG

[mental tulip]

why is it weird

[tranquil steppe]

A knight

[rugged umbra]

its
blue

[safe moat]

It’s blue

[heavy heron]

i like the little reflective background

[proven canopy]

#1 opp

[mental tulip]

yeah but why?

[wintry ice]

dabadee dabadae

[heavy heron]

and he's got like 3 different shades of blue on him

[safe moat]

Blue over green joker actually is kinda crazy

[cloud sinew]

make green joker have the same art effect, for consistency :3

[mental tulip]

it doesn't fit

green is better art

[latent egret]

one of us is right

[mental tulip]

it's consistent

[pale wolf]

what about throwback

[latent egret]

guess who

[rugged umbra]

it fits cus it gives chips and chips are blue type shit

[safe moat]

I like throwback

[wintry ice]

blue joker when it sees green joker (it's green and not dead)

[heavy heron]

sadly green joker already exists..

[proven canopy]

Both

Probably

[latent egret]

if you hate but admit its good ill give it to you

[heavy heron]

also

[pale wolf]

I never see anybody ask this question, and I doubt there will be an answer, but I wonder if any Jokers are being removed

[heavy heron]

my only prob w walkie talkie is the

color scheme

[mental tulip]

walkie talkie is a mess

[wintry ice]

throwback is underwhelming

[proven canopy]

Obelisk isnt good tho

[tranquil steppe]

10-4 copy that

[hexed tendon]

I think ive done it

[pale wolf]

yeah it's like spider webs? radio waves

[proven canopy]

Why does walkie talkie have a spider web in the back

[safe moat]

Yeah what’s with the red to blue gradient

[mental tulip]

it was just me messing around with pixel art

[heavy heron]

it is meant to be radio waves but it literally looks like a giant cobweb

[junior cave]

Looking at the background. I can see why you feel that way

[safe moat]

And it seems like it should be like floating almost

[mental tulip]

honestly it was the dog days of dev and I had a quota to hit lmao

[cloud sinew]

on a different note, superpos is one of my favourites

[hexed tendon]

Bout to get my first naninf run

[pale wolf]

was that before or after the surprise extra 30 Jokers

[dreamy basalt]

Blue joker is such a staple that I am completely fine with its art as is because the effect aint that crazy

[unreal iron]

is there a joker coming for 7s that ISNT odd todd

[safe moat]

No you have all the time you got

[heavy heron]

also faceless makes plenty of sense to me

[mental tulip]

superposition art I'm so proud of

[proven canopy]

I like blue joker art

[heavy heron]

no face ❤️

[unreal iron]

so 7s arent a horrible rank anymore

[safe moat]

It’s a chemistry or physics reference

[ancient gyro]

i wish I get to realistically see it more 💔

[dreamy basalt]

Sixth sense could have like a different background + some more sauce for the unique effect that it has

[latent egret]

true

[cloud sinew]

the effect, theme, name, and art all fit together so well

[rugged umbra]

just put a pareidolia on it and photochad 😎

[mental tulip]

yeah it's a physics reference

[heavy heron]

hehehehehe

[wintry ice]

i love physics references

[safe moat]

Not the lamda

I just noticed that

[wintry ice]

speculative mime!!!!

[latent egret]

phi too

[proven canopy]

Superposition art is cool and all but the ability is kinda ass

[pale wolf]

does obelisk's flavor have anything to do with the act of building the obelisk and then worshiping it? or is there some other flavor that I'm missing

[heavy heron]

we take it

[mental tulip]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

[wintry ice]

yeah!!!

[safe moat]

I disagree in a sense

[hexed tendon]

Guys, for nan inf do I full copy baron?

[rugged umbra]

uhh its goated tho

[latent egret]

worshipping obelisk tru

[unborn cliff]

half and half

[heavy heron]

i'm a balatro player i can't read all this

[tranquil steppe]

Is Lord Canio truly Balatro’s Lord?

[safe moat]

That will not naneinf

[heavy heron]

i can barely read boss blinds

[proven canopy]

If ur playing royal flush build it's pretty good

[pale wolf]

ok im outta here

[heavy heron]

words... so many words...

[latent egret]

ah yes eigen vectors

[hexed tendon]

Why not

[wintry ice]

not every common econ joker is rebate

[safe moat]

Quantum physics is actually crazy asf

[heavy heron]

the numbers mason what do they mean (i wonder if anybody will even get this.........)

[safe moat]

You don’t have enough cards

[stable owl]

Funny symbol equals funny symbols
Simple

[hexed tendon]

How many do I need?

[proven canopy]

What

[mental tulip]

look at the background for the superposition card!

[heavy heron]

i got you

OH

OHHHH

SHIT

WAIT WHAT

[ancient gyro]

physics reference is distracting me

[heavy heron]

I NEVER NOTICED THAT

[latent egret]

git gud

[mental tulip]

lmao

[ancient gyro]

lol

[proven canopy]

Bro glazing

[mental tulip]

it's not that clever chill

[heavy heron]

bro i'm on phone i ain't like zooming into every pixel

to see that

[cloud sinew]

I was so proud when I noticed it and I put it in the trivia section on the balatrowiki right away

[unborn cliff]

he aint letting you beta test bro

[safe moat]

If you were to add more legendaries do you have more jesters to base them off of?

[proven canopy]

Any plans for the unused lumpytouch cards

[mental tulip]

no

it was never a joker

also it never had a name

people made that up

[tranquil steppe]

localthunk, you ever play 10 pitch?

[proven canopy]

Ive been mislead

[heavy heron]

any plans to bring back my seeing double to its former glory 😔

[ancient gyro]

what in locals name is a lumpytouch

[unborn cliff]

i know a pretty clever joker myself

[forest birch]

The great chaos theory conspiracy

[safe moat]

Me too 😔

[unborn cliff]

guy who drew vagabond

[proven canopy]

Mid-high level ball knowledge

[mental tulip]

I don't know where that rumor came from

the asset was in the files but it never had a name or effect or anything

[forest birch]

My grandpa has a very lumpy touch

[proven canopy]

I think he made a video on it

[forest birch]

He has like warts on his fingers

It's not nice

[ancient gyro]

i didnt need to read this

[heavy heron]

😨

[safe moat]

What do yall think the rework you’d want for bloodstone be

[tranquil steppe]

Anywho, 10 pitch is a great 4 player strategic card game. I know you like card games

[proven canopy]

The queen art was rlly cool though

[cloud sinew]

lumpy made it up

[safe moat]

That’s crazy

[heavy heron]

make it actually functional

[mental tulip]

it may have come from lumpy if he made a video on it

regardless, it never had a name or effect or anything in the game

[safe moat]

bruh but like how

[heavy heron]

i hit my wheels more than my bloodstone hits

[wintry ice]

guarranteed 1.33xmult surely

[proven canopy]

I like the art though

[tranquil steppe]

None. It’s beautiful

[forest birch]

It would be such a shame for that art to go to waste

[proven canopy]

1/2 chance to win the run

[forest birch]

👀👀👀👀👀

[cloud sinew]

from a youtube short lumpy made

[mental tulip]

ah okay

[heavy heron]

ohhh that thing

was there ever an idea for it

[willow frost]

what the fuck is this lmao

[safe moat]

Nah

[wintry ice]

i guess that's the name lumpy gave it

[unborn cliff]

chaos theory

[mental tulip]

no

[safe moat]

will this be on the test

[mental tulip]

yes

[safe moat]

Fuck

[proven canopy]

So he just drew that for no particular reason without asking you

[ancient gyro]

so x4 for heart flush as a baseline for initial mult

[heavy heron]

wow so have you made art for jokers you had 0 idea of the purpose of at the time of drawing

[unborn cliff]

localthunk can you add gay people to balatro

[cloud sinew]

time to update the wiki

[ancient gyro]

oh

[proven canopy]

They're already in the game bro

[unborn cliff]

where

[worldly barn]

More like local dunk 🏀

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[forest birch]

Everywhere

[safe moat]

Bruh

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone forgives your sins

[willow frost]

+5 joker slots +5 handsize passive x100 chips and mult on five card hands lookin joker

[proven canopy]

Theres like at least 2 of them here

[mental tulip]

he asked if he could draw a few, I said yes but I can't guarantee they'll all make it in

[tranquil steppe]

LocalThunk told us so

[mental tulip]

and one made it in

(vagabond)

[ancient gyro]

no he didnt

[safe moat]

I like vagabond a lot

[proven canopy]

So there are more that we dont know about

[mental tulip]

no

[tranquil steppe]

Vagabond is a hobo

[willow frost]

vagabond is epic

[mental tulip]

not from lumpy at least

[safe moat]

He’s said too much

[unborn cliff]

no hes rare

[heavy heron]

gather the 5 infinity stones (forget the 6th one) and you become god

[proven canopy]

Secret unused joker leak when

I think there are a few more jokers that the world doesn't know about

[heavy heron]

hehehehehh

[tranquil steppe]

Seeeeeee

[mental tulip]

jokers in older versions of the game

[proven canopy]

If you show me i wont tell anyone

[heavy heron]

good thing i'm your #1 beta tester participant

[unborn cliff]

we are the balatrolings, feed us!

[ancient gyro]

i like the one where it's just the jokers head turned around

[latent egret]

i wouldn't trust someone saying obby is bad

[safe moat]

Was it intentional to have the opening jimbo have a sticker

[proven canopy]

Obelisk is the worst rare joker

Except the one

[lost vault]

mreow mreow

[tranquil steppe]

151 has to be named Mew or a pun on it

[latent egret]

[proven canopy]

×1 mult doesnt rlly do much

[heavy heron]

so how was the climbing exercise

[lost vault]

i didnt

[heavy heron]

it's okay.. next time

[lost vault]

that wouldve been a quick climb qwq

[tranquil steppe]

Please tell me you play Pokemon

[lost vault]

ouh is that a challenge

i forgor

i dont challenge

[heavy heron]

pokemon diamond was the best

just saying

[safe moat]

I still remember like getting goosebumps opening the game

[mental tulip]

I played crystal first, then a lot of sapphire, fire red

and pokemon stadium on N64

[safe moat]

Emeralds the best version

[mental tulip]

that's about it

[safe moat]

Change my mind

[proven canopy]

I could never get past the ocean in sapphire

[tranquil steppe]

Okay so favorite starter is?

[cloud sinew]

i remember you mentioning an "equilibrium joker" at some point, is/was that ever a thing you made or was it just an off the cuff idea?

[heavy heron]

ahh i love pokemon.. me trying to use a fishing rod on land: you remembered professor oak's words: there's a time and place for everything

[proven canopy]

I still have ultra sapphire on my 3ds and its stuck with a level 75 sceptile on the first island

[mental tulip]

I have a bulbasaur plush in my office

[tranquil steppe]

No politics allowed boo

[modest snow]

I wanna go for a new high score and ante (maybe not naneinf tho since I want it on my stats so maybe near e300?) my current high is e66, what should my long term goals be for this, I'm just making money rn since I can stay alive easily. when do I sell perkeo? I have a bunch of fools rn

[ancient gyro]

[proven canopy]

Really??1!!?1??1

[safe moat]

Holy hell that’s ante 8???

i imagine developers don't play their own games that much

so prob not too crazy

[nova mantle]

i think so

[safe moat]

No hes c++ed

[nova mantle]

i believe he uploaded his c++ some time ago

[heavy heron]

yes i know

but

[lost vault]

i know i would

[wicked sequoia]

More retriggers, more ecto, more bp bs

[safe moat]

I wanna know the card stats

[heavy heron]

that was likely a 1 time thing

like C++ and that's it

[robust stump]

WTH IS THIS

[ancient gyro]

black deck gs a8

[safe moat]

Bro

[latent egret]

lol only C++ are you insane

[ancient gyro]

so like there's probably a higher ceiling on another deck

[safe moat]

Jesus Christ

[lost vault]

“just dead god and thats it” type shit

[modest snow]

how many ectos should I go for, I already used one. do I go for retriggers and idol or baron mime

[latent egret]

it takes like 200hrs

[heavy heron]

i meant accomplish C++ and prob stop playing (consistently) after that

[latent egret]

at least

[mental tulip]

Like damn these things are sick

[safe moat]

So I still wanna see the stats

[nova mantle]

baseball runs are always lovely runs

[wicked sequoia]

Go till hand size is 5

[mental tulip]

Oh I meant makeship not Fangamer

[lost vault]

thats a pretty reasonable stopping point for balatro considering its the hardest achievement

[tranquil steppe]

Red one is gangster

[soft vapor]

Waow

[wicked sequoia]

unless you're going baron route

[safe moat]

Those are how much?

[latent egret]

its the same one

[nova mantle]

that would go lovely on my 3ds i gotta buy one

[soft vapor]

developuh

[mental tulip]

it's the same one

[tranquil steppe]

Derp lol

[wicked sequoia]

That's really cool

I need them

[mental tulip]

they come with the odd todd and even steven plush

[nova mantle]

[soft vapor]

The sillys

[lost vault]

the gays come in a combo hell ueah

[wicked sequoia]

Sold out 😔

[heavy heron]

sold out 💔

[modest snow]

I could go baron. what would be easier to get at least e100? baron mime or bunch of retriggers and idol with ecto and good negatives

[jade arch]

only one left

[lost vault]

plasma or no

[jade arch]

I have only one joker left

[wicked sequoia]

I will fight you all for todd

[ancient gyro]

first 💔

[wicked sequoia]

bring it on

[modest snow]

yeah plasma deck

[wild merlin]

will i still be able to get cavendish if i sell gros instead of it being destroyed?

[tranquil steppe]

But he’s so odd

[latent egret]

[lost vault]

then idk uwu

[wicked sequoia]

exactly

[tranquil steppe]

No

[wild merlin]

ok

[safe flower]

No

[lost vault]

thunk should add this joker

[nova mantle]

jmibo

[forest birch]

Ominous joker

[polar talon]

Is there any way to add mods to a mobile ?

[soft vapor]

balatro

[safe moat]

Copper and galvanized steel

[wild merlin]

what does it even do??

[safe moat]

Nah

[heavy heron]

nope

[safe moat]

Nothing

[soft vapor]

antimatter

[wild merlin]

fr?

[nova mantle]

crashes your game

[soft vapor]

I mean

What

[safe moat]

Yeah

[soft vapor]

Nothing

[wicked sequoia]

Hope that helps!

[forest birch]

+5 ?????

[jade arch]

Wait huh? Why do I not have completionist ++? I have all jokers with a golden sticker, don't I?

[unreal iron]

what does it say it does

nothing

[polar talon]

:

[unreal iron]

it does nothing

[tranquil steppe]

People are making Balatro card cases btw

[nova mantle]

im finna print money here dawg

this is ridiculous

[lost vault]

unlicensed ?

[safe moat]

Yuh

[lost vault]

dude im so food at spelling

[modest snow]

gotta beat another run to get the achievement

[lost vault]

im sofood

[unreal iron]

food

mmmm

[tranquil steppe]

I think on Etsy? Idk it’s 3D printed. Got it as a gift

[lost vault]

:3

[unreal iron]

:3

[heavy heron]

if you buy it 10 times across different runs, you will unlock the possibility of gaining antimatter; what's antimatter? well every voucher has a level 1 and level 2 version; you can get the level 2 of any voucher after buying the level 1 of it in the same run (i buy tarot merchant ante 2, tarot tycoon can appear ante 3) so after 10 purchases, any future runs, it's possible to buy blank and then find antimatter (+1 joker slot) later in the same run

[wicked sequoia]

Do I stab him y/n

[forest birch]

Popcorn be like

[soft vapor]

3:

[tranquil steppe]

There’s a lottttt of unlicensed stuff out there if you start looking

[safe moat]

n

[polar talon]

I reached the golden well in the ghost deck

[forest birch]

Kill that boy

[mental tulip]

[safe moat]

oh

[wicked sequoia]

I've already stabbed a triboulet today

[heavy heron]

[safe moat]

[wicked sequoia]

I'll do it again

[soft vapor]

Simmer down Goofy

[lost vault]

miaau :3

[safe moat]

Competitive balala

[tranquil steppe]

We need Balatro 99

[soft vapor]

Dude

When will my wheel hit

[heavy heron]

it'll hit someday

[tranquil steppe]

It’ll hit when space hits

[tacit quail]

slight anti synergy but easily winning rn

might a8 sub space joker for a sticker

[tranquil steppe]

lol speaking of space

[heavy heron]

that's just a win yea

[safe moat]

Hos

[lost vault]

throwback ew

[heavy heron]

throwback is technically anti synergy with everything

[vocal rose]

@ancient gyro

[safe moat]

You haven’t gold stickered black board

[soft vapor]

what the fuck

[tranquil steppe]

Throwback is fun on anaglyph

[vocal rose]

updated tierlist

[tacit quail]

yeh but i like a skip sometimes

i used uncommon skip this run

twice

[heavy heron]

LETS GOOOO

easiest foil of your life

[tacit quail]

for bbc

[wicked sequoia]

Are there plans for a square man plushie

[heavy heron]

i like skipping too

it's fun

[lost vault]

first good lost here?

list

[soft vapor]

He won't be there

[wicked sequoia]

NOOOO

[cloud sinew]

localthunk should make a Tag that doesn't suck

[vocal rose]

no clue

[soft vapor]

Because he's square

[lost vault]

how is it fun you are literally not olayin the game when you skip

[safe moat]

he’s lurking

[vocal rose]

just my personal subjective experience with each jokers

[safe fractal]

Finally got my 4th gold stake. Back in korea so can only really play when i go to the PC 방

[vocal rose]

for gold stake ante 8

[tacit quail]

Free Stuff

[heavy heron]

for.. like... 2 seconds.. then you're playing again

[lost vault]

it is not free

[wicked sequoia]

I like skips if they give me a lot of money

[tacit quail]

it is you dont lose immediate money

[lost vault]

but you play less game overall

[safe moat]

he’s stopped typing but he’s watching always

[lost vault]

you lose value

[heavy heron]

good thing you can always play another run

[lost vault]

by not being able to pkay the round

[tacit quail]

NOT real because i cant see it

[soft vapor]

you probably hate chicot

[lost vault]

no?

how is that related

qwq

chicot is great

[soft vapor]

because

[crimson hinge]

WHY NOW BLUEPRINT >:(

[safe moat]

There should be more jokers that benefit directly from skipping

[soft vapor]

well

[jade arch]

Is this good sinnergy? What to do with these ones now?

[soft vapor]

ermm

[cloud sinew]

horrible read, skinky loves chicot

[soft vapor]

hmmm

[lost vault]

yes

chicot is cool

[cloud sinew]

yes

[soft vapor]

yeah chicot is cool

[gloomy vigil]

oneshot everything up to ante 3

still oneshotting

[vocal rose]

get that misprint for some mult

[safe moat]

Chicot is good

[vocal rose]

very good

VERY boring

[heavy heron]

ordered left to right (unless stated otherwise)

[tranquil steppe]

Chico’s monkey farm is great

[vocal rose]

oh wow this list is

something

[lost vault]

baron in top tier, bad list

[twin lantern]

L

Miss em even more

[jade arch]

no need. I've already got my lucky twos

[heavy heron]

it is isn't it

[lost vault]

you cant just combine endless list with a8 list they are too vastly different

[vocal rose]

its not

[heavy heron]

well it is possible late-game scoring, but at the very bottom of it for a reason

[vocal rose]

its weird

becuase you're combining endless and gs a8

[heavy heron]

no it's all ante 8

[vocal rose]

which doesn't really blend well at all

all ante 8?

[heavy heron]

yea

[lost vault]

the only baron run ive had he was worth 2.25x by the end -_-

[tranquil steppe]

lol bootstraps is probably not very good? Or mistaaaaaa bones? Whack

[cloud sinew]

then i completely disagree

[vocal rose]

so the tribe is better than campfire?

[heavy heron]

bootstraps is not good

[lost vault]

if its all ante 8 then baron is jut shit

[safe fractal]

Also ive hit 150 hours in the game

[vocal rose]

this list I don't agree with at all with this context

[heavy heron]

yea you can make an argument it goes at the very bottom

[safe moat]

In a way

[heavy heron]

that's fair, gimme a reason or two

[cloud sinew]

you have baron over bootstraps lmao

[heavy heron]

okay wait

the list is not

ordered

from top to bottom

it's listed from left to right

unless stated otherwise

[lost vault]

???

[heavy heron]

the name of each list is on the left

[lost vault]

silly list

[cloud sinew]

thats a bad way to do a tierlist then imo

[gloomy vigil]

made it to ante 4 again

wish me luck

[lost vault]

yes it is

[cloud sinew]

the whole point is youre tiering them

[heavy heron]

because you can't, like, compare hallucination to like a scoring joker

[cloud sinew]

yes you can

[lost vault]

you can

[heavy heron]

and i am

from left to right

[cloud sinew]

thats not...

[heavy heron]

that's not what

[tranquil steppe]

Credit card is also good when you’re backed into a corner and need money early. Otherwise yes not good

[tacit quail]

Bosh get stickered Rip Bozo space joker

[cloud sinew]

thats not what a tier is

[vocal rose]

I disagree with it because you have certain categories that just go against what a tierlist is

[cloud sinew]

a tier is a row, if its on the same row then it's not tiered

[lost vault]

hmm fair

[vocal rose]

and with the way you're explaining it

you have some jokers within the same tiers as each other that DONT belong within the same tier

[wicked sequoia]

mail rebait least favourite 😔

[heavy heron]

well, i found that when i was trying to list them from F to S, it was really hard because lists don't make sense when every run is different

[tacit quail]

+2 gold, astronomer and blackboard

[heavy heron]

dusk is S tier for my polychrome build but F tier for my hologram constellation build

like how do i

[serene forge]

it's too powerful to the point of not even being interesting to me

[heavy heron]

put that on a letter list

[cloud sinew]

you generalise

you average it out

[wicked sequoia]

Oh that's fair

[heavy heron]

hence why i started categorizing; generalizing didn't make sense to me

[vocal rose]

So you generalize and rank jokers by how much VALUE they can bring you on average

in a run

[wicked sequoia]

I like money too much to think about that

[tranquil steppe]

Interesting

[vocal rose]

rather than just make sub categories that go against what a tierlist is

[cloud sinew]

i.e how often does this work, and when it works how impactful is it, and what is the cost of getting that to happen, etc

[heavy heron]

"on average" is hard to measure

but i can see that

[vocal rose]

because yes econ is different from mult

but rebate is

100% better than flash card

[heavy heron]

at the top of my "value" list

or close to it

it's 3rd

[vocal rose]

I don't agree with that fundamentally

[heavy heron]

followed behind vagabond and perkeo

vagabond is way better value than rebate imo

like so much better

[vocal rose]

well

[cloud sinew]

having completely unrelated categories within the same tierlist is not the solution though.
you should evaluate everything within a tierlist consistently

[vocal rose]

this I ALSO disagree with

heavily

[vocal rose]

rebate is genuinely the only joker I can call unbalanced by how good it is

[heavy heron]

i think it makes sense, though, because to order them from left to right still gives them some kind of tier listing

[vocal rose]

you can STILL order them left to right in a tierlist

just add the context that they're ORDERED in that way

[heavy heron]

well, fair enough, nobody is debating how strong rebate is

[vocal rose]

well I am with you

[heavy heron]

that's.. what i did

[vocal rose]

since you consider vagabond to be WAY better then rebate

[heavy heron]

i still think vagabond is better than rebate

[tacit quail]

woo im on 120/150... 1/5th left to do

[cloud sinew]

^you and zoahl are, you said vagabond is way better value than rebate

[heavy heron]

i'll take 4 tarots over $5-20 per round

but, your playstyle i suppose

[wicked sequoia]

Cryign

[tacit quail]

my final 30 jokers to gold sticker 🙏

[tranquil steppe]

Fight fight fight

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[vocal rose]

its not playstyle its just how much value that can bring you in GENERAL throughout an entire run

and I think they're an entire tier apart

[heavy heron]

that's crazy

an entire tier apart?

do you just not like vagabond

[tacit quail]

vagabonds peak

s

[gloomy vigil]

made it to ante 5

[cloud sinew]

playstyle shouldnt really affect it much unless you play really bad

[tacit quail]

S tier

[vocal rose]

rebate is something you want to take with ANY stickers on it and if you DONT you're likely throwing the game

[cloud sinew]

rebate is the best econ joker in the game.
vagabond is awesome, but it's no rebate.

[heavy heron]

i don't agree at all; rebate and vagabond literally can't synergize and if you play towards money, than vagabond is useless

playstyle matters a lot

[vocal rose]

vagabond is something you CAN pass up on if you have something going already and it wouldn't be considered a throw

[heavy heron]

like as opposed to playing 3 throwaways

for tarots

[cloud sinew]

why does it matter that they cant synergise???

[heavy heron]

then winning in one

[vocal rose]

it doesn't

[cloud sinew]

also yes they can

[vocal rose]

how does that matter?

[heavy heron]

that's a big difference in playstyle

[heavy heron]

yes yes, 3 tarots, then discard, and try and win in final

i get that

[heavy heron]

that's playstyle difference

do you not understand

[cloud sinew]

or any amount of playing hands with $4 or below and then discarding, or discarding before playing said hands if you get enough rebate hits, etc

[tranquil steppe]

We scared LocalThunk away

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

fr

[vocal rose]

I don't understand since "playing towards money" ISNT a playstyle, thats literally just the most consistent way to win

[calm sapphire]

ain't rebate kind of synergistic with vagabond

[heavy heron]

you could discard before playing said hands but now your vagabond does nothing

so

[vocal rose]

it is

its very synergistic

[heady narwhal]

not at the same time

[gusty violet]

rebate and vagabond synergize tho

[heavy heron]

it literally is a difference in playstyle? if you play towards money immediately, your vagabond does nothing

[hexed tendon]

Results are in

[heavy heron]

yea i get that, hence changing what i said

[hexed tendon]

Finally got a naninf

[heavy heron]

they can be

[gusty violet]

play ur hands first, then discard

[hexed tendon]

Unseeded

[vocal rose]

vagabond can bring you value in the form of money too? its just you go about it DIFFERENTLY because of how the joker is

[heavy heron]

i just think playing first, then discarding on final hand for money, can mean you don't draw your winning hand (unless you're playing pairs or smth)

[gusty violet]

credit card carried

[heavy heron]

but yes, i can see that

[hexed tendon]

Frfr

[safe moat]

Sweet

[heavy heron]

yes, it does give you money, agreed

[vocal rose]

you don't buy vagabond to ALWAYS stay below 4 dollars during shop time post round

[calm sapphire]

with bean?

[heavy heron]

yup, agreed too

[gusty violet]

should've copied credit card smh

[hexed tendon]

Yes unseeded with a bean bug

i got lucky

[heavy heron]

-$40 😍

if only

[calm sapphire]

ok w

[vocal rose]

so thats how it shouldn't matter when you "play towards money" as you're STILL doing the same thing with vagabond

[gusty violet]

would've at least bean another bp

[calm sapphire]

bean exploit overpowered

[gusty violet]

more

I mean less

[vocal rose]

you are making MORE money with vagabond than without if you're just sticking at interest cap

[hexed tendon]

I mean I probably woulda nan infed without the bean bug

[lost vault]

chat what do we think of my very serious list

[hexed tendon]

But it was cool

[vocal rose]

or even better if you ARENT hitting interest cap you can use vagabond to reach that EASILY

[heavy heron]

just so you know, everything you've described is a playstyle change; saving your temperance after you play 4 hands, or discarding on final hand for rebate-- all of that is an actual difference in how one plays vs someone else

[vocal rose]

via devils temperances

[cloud sinew]

from it's description, Credit Card shouldn't be able to stack even with multiple of them

[gloomy vigil]

is the -1 hand -1 ante voucher worth ?

[cloud sinew]

usually not

[vocal rose]

I disagree with that

[gloomy vigil]

I dont even udnerstand what it does tbh

[vocal rose]

because someone NOT doing that

[gusty violet]

mail should be in S++

[vocal rose]

isn't playing optimally

[cloud sinew]

i think youre misunderstanding a point zoahl and I made

[gloomy vigil]

am skipping

[cloud sinew]

sure you can have a playstyle

[lost vault]

wrong; it does not create tarot cards

[gusty violet]

mail, my beloved

[heavy heron]

and there's a chance you're misunderstanding mine, for sure

[cloud sinew]

but you are playing suboptimally if you don't do what is optimal, there should only be one playstyle if you are playing optimally.

[heavy heron]

and what if i don't save my temperance and just stay under $4 for my final tarot on final hand

for the final (chance at a) death i need

playstyle difference

[cloud sinew]

thats a playstyle difference in the sense that you are playing differently, but that's not what zoahl and I are meaning

[gusty violet]

balala is all the same.... gambling

[nova mantle]

i cant sell nothing bruh wth

[heavy heron]

i see you've agreed at least

[vocal rose]

yes you are playing differently, not optimally

[cloud sinew]

we are meaning that you can't really have a playstyle difference that doesnt make you play worse

[heavy heron]

just the point i was making

[calm sapphire]

You're playstyle does not matter if you are talking about what is the most optimal

[nova mantle]

8 ball's placement is wicked

[lost vault]

i didnt order them by tier

maybe i shouldve

[silk vale]

Trying to beat jokerless challenge and damn this is ROUGH

[gloomy vigil]

made it to ante 6

pog

[cloud sinew]

like sure you can go for a rental Baron instead of Riff-Raff from the first buffoon, that's a playstyle difference, but one is clearly the worst choice every time

[lost vault]

anyway 8ball highkey slept on

[nova mantle]

even if theyre not 8 ball is not that goated 😭

[vocal rose]

and just to add some clarification, vagabond is an amazing joker and is almost a top 10 joker

but rebate just happens to be the best joker in the game

[lost vault]

yes it is vro trist me

[stark karma]

just sold burglar for bean on ante 7 and the ante 8 boss is heart, (baron mime build) 😭😭😭

[unreal iron]

you dont see the potential of 8 ball???

[lost vault]

(it is a joke tier list. the joke is i love tarotgen)

[vocal rose]

8 ball isn't goated but its solid

[nova mantle]

i aint tristing you im sorry 💔

8 ball is the biggest of frauds

[unreal iron]

believe in the balls

[hexed tendon]

How hard is it to get an ante 39 naninf

[lost vault]

showman:

[lost vault]

pretty hard

[vocal rose]

difficult

[safe moat]

8 ball isn’t bad

[heavy heron]

okay... i mean, i disagree with that too because there's several ways to beat every seed, and what can be unoptimal for one path can be optimal for another? like if i actually just don't keep rebate and opt for an end-of-round money joker instead, such as a rocket or cloud 9, i can get end of round money (albeit a lot less; depends what stage of run for a rocket or how many 9s i have, for example) AND not have to save rebate cards for final discard-- on top of a chance at flopping drawing my winning hand-- AND get my final hand for vagabond

[vocal rose]

in the sense that you wont be able to do it consistently

[unreal iron]

due to ante 32 existing

[heavy heron]

there's a playstyle difference there that just as easily is more rewarding

[vocal rose]

yes

[unreal iron]

and also every 8th ante

so 16 and 24

if you get past them somehow

[ancient gyro]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[vocal rose]

16 and 24 are consistent to get past

32 is the big issue

[cloud sinew]

"several ways to beat a seed" does not mean that every line that beats a seed is optimal

[nova mantle]

alright you beat me to it

[hexed tendon]

I only have a couple more things to do in balatro, that being a crypid naninf and an ante 39 naninf

[lost vault]

:3

[nova mantle]

honestly it aint that bad im just a hater

[cloud sinew]

if i win without jokers does that mean selling all my jokers is optimal? no.

[hexed tendon]

Then ofc theres completionist+

[heavy heron]

like what if i'm building towards 4oak? or flush five? you're telling me i'm supposed to play 3 throwaway hands, save discards for rebate cards, then somehow draw my 4oak? what you guys called optimal can just mean dying

[ancient gyro]

you're into the numbers phase already 🗣️

[hexed tendon]

all those gold stake jokers gonna take a while

[cloud sinew]

you are applying a generalisation to a specific scenario. we werent saying that is always optimal, we were saying that it CAN be optimal to do that and that they do synergise in scenarios where that is the case.

[lost vault]

imo vaga deserves top 10 but what do i know

[heady narwhal]

as long as the chance of winning is literally 100% either way, selling all jokers isn't any less optimal than not doing that imo

[stark karma]

NOOO

[heavy heron]

we WERE talking about a specific scenario initially, and you guys were making the argument that a different playstyle was just unoptimal; having rebate and vagabond at the same time is a specific scenario so i can make the exact same argument against you

[heady narwhal]

unless you're doing c++ or whatever

[gloomy vigil]

whats thee C and ++ above yalls name

are yall all just good at coding or what
