[stark karma]

Stuntman must’ve been such a burst of dopamine

[lyric wave]

dice + anything

dice are so underused

[spiral phoenix]

😭

[stark karma]

Erosion and Trading card are some of my fave jokers and they synergize beautifully

[potent tree]

chat...i have 3 queens left. but if bell picks the wrong card i lose. do i risk the discard or go for level 1 4oak? fullhouse is level 23

[little pike]

absolutely blew my mind

[stark karma]

Erosion is the love of my life

[old phoenix]

i once did a dna and sixth sense synergy. probably not too good but it was a lotta fun

[low lintel]

Oops! All 6’s and Cavendish are my favorite synergy.

[lyric wave]

go for the full house

[stark karma]

That was beautiful early in my naneinf run

[jaunty robin]

yeah that run ended very quickly LMFAO

only got 27k needing 165k

[lyric wave]

oh yeah localthunk have you ever gotten naneinf?

[amber forge]

So there's a cool thing you can do with photogra-

[potent tree]

FINALLY i can say goodbye to this stupid deck

[stark karma]

I was gonna ask that too haha!

[opaque vale]

“let down” is the most underrated Radiohead traxk

[lyric wave]

hell yeah

[somber geode]

fucking hate plasma now

[lyric wave]

time to reset erratic deck until you have a good seed

and then lose ante 3

[jaunty robin]

what are our thoughts on nebula deck

[little pike]

Plasma makes a nice sound when balancing

gooooooong

[lyric wave]

hate it

[jaunty robin]

-1 consumable slot sounds ass

[opaque vale]

I still can’t believe Black Deck was the second deck I gold staked

[lyric wave]

they should remove the upside to nebula but keep the -1 consumable slot

[stark karma]

Naneinf is a bit boring with how there’s only one route to this one big score

[opaque vale]

I had no idea what I was thinking

[mental tulip]

nebula is actually Straight deck

[stark karma]

What is gay deck

[lost vault]

oh damn i thought it was pan

[lyric wave]

checkered

[stark karma]

Makes sense lol

[jaunty robin]

see if i can get a win here

[mental tulip]

I've never tried and it doesn't really interest me

[stark karma]

Controversial

[jaunty robin]

literally never won til today and now i've got 3

[amber forge]

What is your highscore?

[mental tulip]

enough

[stark karma]

I’ve done it and I would not recommend it

[lost vault]

it is not very fun

[low lintel]

Did you know naneinf was possible when you made the game?

[mental tulip]

yeah it doesn't sound fun lol

[orchid onyx]

anybody listen to fetty wap....

[stark karma]

High scoring is fun but not as fun as other things the game has

[low lintel]

I would not at all have thought about the possibility of a player doing it.

[somber geode]

I have been stuck on plasma deck for these past few days I feel like a monkey throwing shit at a wall but none of it has stuck because I've been either terrible at gold stake or brutally unlucky

[foggy sun]

Are you ever going to consider adding more jokers that work well into endless?

[lyric wave]

ante 39 is actively terrible, just landing naneinf isn't that terrible tho

[opaque vale]

x1.738 mult

[lost vault]

whyd you join a balatro server just to spam this

[stark karma]

Such as working on the update I guess hahaha

[acoustic kettle]

No

[jaunty robin]

sixth sense why not

[somber geode]

like come on this could've won

[spiral phoenix]

good question

[mental tulip]

Joker designs are pretty much always balanced around the first 8 antes

so no

well, yes

[stark karma]

Idol….

[mental tulip]

but not intentionally

Idol is bad

[orchid onyx]

nobody is answering me

[lost vault]

thunk will idol be changed :3

[lyric wave]

you should go for chips instead of mult

[lost vault]

maybe thats a sign

[jaunty robin]

looks like we're doing a flush build

[foggy sun]

Ahh alright. I just want more variety in ways to get to like ante 24 yk. but either way, thank you for answering my question.

[somber geode]

I have tried going for chips but I've fucking died whenever I commit to runner straights or wee of a kind builds

[low lintel]

Mult is way better for long term plasma.

[little pike]

Idol is carried by it’s awesome art

[somber geode]

cause the scaling sucks

[mental tulip]

if I focus too much on adding ways to go far in endless then the base game suffers

[orchid onyx]

do you listen???

[lyric wave]

I'm talking about beating plasma, not endless

[jaunty robin]

gros michel or mega buffoon pack

i cannot decide

[lost vault]

the thing is that ante 24 is literally unecessary for completinh the game

[acoustic kettle]

Gros

[potent tree]

stats after 14 of 15 decks completed. earth has overtaken mercury for my top consumable, and trio has somehow busted into my top 10 jokers.

[little pike]

Thunk do you make the card designs before or after the card function

[lyric wave]

1k chips with 4 hands is enough to beat plasma

[low lintel]

Yes but it’s true through ante 8 as well.

[stark karma]

But it’s sooooooo good

[opaque vale]

love the philosophy on this, appreciate you thunk

[foggy sun]

I know, i just like having runs that go really deep into endless, especially in gold stake.

[lyric wave]

1k worth of material is a LOT easier to get with chips than mult

[thorn dust]

wrong

you should always commit to wee joker because holy fuck it make lot of chip 🤑 📈

[acoustic kettle]

Endless slop

[little pike]

Get this man a true

[amber forge]

Idol isn't good, but it is very satisfying when you make it work (in the base game)

[stark karma]

Endless is fun but playing goldstake is funner :D

[lost vault]

i dont think ive ever genuinely taken idol

ever

[opaque vale]

my favorite joker? green joker :)

[wintry ice]

wee is an instant win on plasma

[foggy sun]

thats why I like going into endless in gold stake

[low lintel]

Idol isn’t good?!!!!

[mental tulip]

Idol is bad and it should feel bad

[somber geode]

wee is just not enough for plasma especially when you don't get the tarot cards you need

[low lintel]

What universe have I entered here.

[lost vault]

i think idol deserves a rework qwq

[lyric wave]

I've taken it once because it was unstickered and I got a nat negative idol

it did nothing

[foggy sun]

Idol sucks in 100% of the first 8 antes.

[stark karma]

A lot of the “crazy seeds” people post don’t excite me at all for the reason why endless feels underwhelming once you’ve played enough

[amber forge]

I took it on gold stake once because I had gotten 4 nines from an incantation on Abandoned

[jaunty robin]

a dna would do wonders here

[pearl sapphire]

maybe exotic jokers that appear only after ante 8 that have maybe exponent mult...

[wintry ice]

the universe where it has the most specific activation condition in the game

[somber geode]

I've learned that after 4 fucking days being stuck on plasma deck and getting like 4 wees

[opaque vale]

Also obelisk is such a great joker

[lost vault]

which is wjy it sucks

[thorn dust]

jus get more red seal bro

[acoustic kettle]

Wee is amazing on plasma

[stark karma]

It’s a very difficult and interesting challenge to make it work before you win lol

[somber geode]

it is. it's just not enough with horrible luck

[stark karma]

So it deserves a place :D

[mental tulip]

that does not a good joker make

[pearl sapphire]

obviously small exponent like just giving ^1.25 mult or giving ^1.01 mult per X card you have

[stark karma]

You’re right

[foggy sun]

Ik, im just saying how its so niche to only being good when your deck is just one card. which 100% of my gold stake runs have never been able to achieve in the 8 antes of a run

[wintry ice]

that just goes against adding content that's based around ante 8

[somber geode]

you can't make wee work with 4 or 5 2s in your deck

[stark karma]

Some jokers can be bad and a little unbalanced I think

It’s ok

[mental tulip]

I could say the same thing about pouring hot sauce in my eyes before I start a run

[little pike]

Time to take those rare skip tags buddy 😈

[stark karma]

Hahahaha

[wintry ice]

playing a pair of wees is the same floor as square joker

and it can easily go higher as you deckfix

[stark karma]

I think it still deserves a place imo

[lost vault]

idol is more than just a “little” unbalanced
it is pretty much unusable

[lyric wave]

^1.01 mult for every xmult is one of the most overpowered jokers in the cryptid mod, which is a mod built to be as unbalanced and chaotic as possible

[thorn dust]

try getting more copies of showman

why 250 chip later when 250 chip now

[foggy sun]

Like literally, bloodstone is 100% better than idol. because that only requires you to use 1 suit. even if its 1/2, its easier to use in an 8 ante run

[jaunty robin]

localthunk can we get a joker that just gives words of encouragement intermittently throughout the run because sometimes i be needing them

[little pike]

That’s the anti jimbo bro

[opaque vale]

ping me, I’ll be there for you bro

[amber forge]

Jimbo paid DLC

[pearl sapphire]

well i mean cryptid you can go insane with the number of jokers you have

[acoustic kettle]

Shit vs crap basically

[heavy heron]

jimbo should do that in general

[low lintel]

Make a new profile, do the tutorial, go back to your old profile.

He’s so kind there.

[pearl sapphire]

i think we need more luck and less skill in balatro

[lyric wave]

anything that's considered powerful in the cryptid mod should never come anywhere near base game balatro

[heavy heron]

i’m going to hex it if i see it first shop on ghost deck

[opaque vale]

I will be anyone’s affirmative jimbo if needed

[stark karma]

An alternative for idol could be something which rewards you for every unique card missing from your deck, though that becomes busted on abandoned and checkered deck

[pearl sapphire]

in fact i think we should have an autoplay setting that plays balatro for you that lets you afk balatro but it always loses since your luck sucks

[thorn dust]

this is just erosion

[lyric wave]

make it adjust like erosion

[acoustic kettle]

It can work like erosion

[opaque vale]

“You got this!” “Great card ordering!” “Nice Econ!”

[little pike]

True, lottery tickets at the end of every round, and slot machines at the end of every shop

[stark karma]

Not exactly

[jaunty robin]

tell me that i will find a DNA in the shop

[mental tulip]

that's how you kill the character though

[lost vault]

to be honest can idol just like choose one rank and stick with it i think that would be cool

[pearl sapphire]

and adding onto this you should be able to buy "better luck" is an iap and it makes you more likely to win

[mental tulip]

people like Jimbo because he's a little shit

[somber geode]

the problem is that my wee runs have been unlucky and I haven't been able to find deaths or 2s

I have to keep repeating this

[heavy heron]

“hey man i think you’re cooked soon” “you got lucky”

[wintry ice]

i reccomend saving money to get your econ up

[opaque vale]

credit card in the buffoon pack, two rerolls after you get the reroll voucher

[little pike]

#KeepJimboEvil

[lyric wave]

I lost my run to bad blueprint placement (I put it at the far right) can you compliment me on my joker placement

[minor portal]

I think I should be able to throw excess chips at boss blinds the same way the boxes you missed hit you at the end of a level in crash bandicoot.

[lost vault]

do NOT make jimbo use modern slang

oh

soon

[foggy sun]

So wait, localthunk, are you going to add more tarot's/spectrals into the 1.1 update? I fear this might be a grass is green ahh question but I just want to know.

[jaunty robin]

it didn't work

[stark karma]

Not really?? But I did find a way to balance the idea for the mod I’m doing

[pearl sapphire]

clean your keyboard

[opaque vale]

“It happens to the best of us! Maybe you’ll get a brainstorm next time!”

[somber geode]

I do that???????? I never buy ante 1-early ante 2 on plasma cuz it's just easy

[heavy heron]

so what? old english? thou hast perished

[somber geode]

I always have interest going

[jaunty robin]

i have to clean my screen too i'll do that soon

[lyric wave]

time to put it on the far left

[lost vault]

would be kinda hard to add more tarots considering that all of the major arcanas have already been added

[pearl sapphire]

dw i say this as my macbook keyboard is filthy af

[wintry ice]

so like what's stopping you from finding the tarots

[somber geode]

i KNOW how gold stake works it's just this deck is making me fucking angry

[heavy heron]

all 22..

[lost vault]

no just like no “cooked” or “son” or “6 7”

[pearl sapphire]

i cleaned it once a year ago but it's already gotten super filthy

[little pike]

w pfp

[foggy sun]

True. but I do hope for more spectrals. and also for the ghost deck ability to become a voucher, and then ghost deck starts with that voucher.

[heavy heron]

jimbo saying 67 would be insanity

[opaque vale]

Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss, you’ll land among us on the discord server!

[jaunty robin]

balatro makes my macbook hotter than my ex girlfriend for some reason

[stark karma]

Thunk make 1.1 Jimbo say: “You’re so washed” “what was bro cooking” “🥀🥀🥀”

[somber geode]

rnjesus hates me and wants me to suffer in hell

[heavy heron]

difhejofufoeifhg

[wintry ice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1385704371236638820.png?quality=lossless&name=AokaDead&size=48

[lost vault]

that would be kinda funny

[opaque vale]

Fam I can’t provide positive validation on that

[lyric wave]

the monkey's paw curls. jimbo now says poggers, radical, bangin', and totally tubular

[jaunty robin]

LMAO

[lost vault]

can we make jimbo MORE degrading in 1.1

[lost vault]

i would shit my pants laughing

[wintry ice]

"maybe going for scientific notation was a bad idea"

[jaunty robin]

i've had this thing for a few years and the battery is pretty degraded

it was never meant for gaming anyways

[mental tulip]

later gamers

[lyric wave]

make jimbo talk about how you lost with idol when you use idol

later localthunk

[lost vault]

buh bye thunky

[stark karma]

Gen Z is trying to cancel Jimbo

[mental tulip]

remember to buy your gros michels

[opaque vale]

Good night thunk!

[lyric wave]

eat your yellows

[heavy heron]

have a wonderful banana filled night

[lost vault]

i will whatever that means

[stark karma]

Good night thump!

[lost vault]

😵‍💫

[mental tulip]

because even if you start as a lil gros michel, you might end up as a mighty cavendish

[foggy sun]

Bye thunk. thank you for making peak

[heavy heron]

[lost vault]

chat am i getting banned

[lyric wave]

yes

[opaque vale]

you’re our mighty cavendish!

[heavy heron]

so a 1 in 1000 to die?

[stark karma]

She gets Gros on my Michel till it Cavendish

[lyric wave]

if you think about it, that's kinda low

[mental tulip]

omg I had my first ever cavendish extinct TODAY

[opaque vale]

Positive Jimbo affirmation: “I win! Google me.”

[mental tulip]

like as I was testing

[heavy heron]

crazyyy

[mental tulip]

it dies

[jaunty robin]

thunk i want you to know that i love you and i will make sure to take my gros michels

[heavy heron]

never happened to me

[little pike]

I mean technically you probably have a 1/1000 chance to die every day anyways

[lyric wave]

wait just now??

[stark karma]

As you were testing what….?

[mental tulip]

a couple hours ago

[stark karma]

Holdup

[heavy heron]

I THINK THE ODDS ARE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THAT

[minor portal]

every second is a 1 in 1000 chance make sure you keep up your xmult

[lyric wave]

ahhhh sweet!

[thorn dust]

to be real with you plasma deck is more an endless merchant, gold stake scaling + x2 score requirement is pretty brutal (tfw 2.4 million violet vessel)
while chips is good early plasma deck favours large disparities and xmult has far more growth potential
it's around midgame you want to find a transition to xmult sources

[opaque vale]

way to bury the lede thunk

[mental tulip]

unrelated joker

[old phoenix]

have a good night localthunk!

[heavy heron]

bananas all correlate w one another!!

[stark karma]

Fascinating

[heavy heron]

confirmed!

synergy synergy!

[little pike]

You never know. What if you choke on a cavendish banana? Then your odds are bad.

[jaunty robin]

early game mime? early game mime.

[minor portal]

the unrelated joker is coming out soon 👀

[lyric wave]

it's bloodstone, bloodstone's getting a buff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stark karma]

I have theories

[foggy sun]

1.1 update has JOKERS. whats next, balatro has a 9 of hearts????

[heavy heron]

….yea then your odds prob go up drastically

[naive pulsar]

Will there me more legendries thunk?

[lost vault]

nothing was confirmed

[stark karma]

Prob not lol

[oak grove]

Bloodstone already is a buff 🥰

[mental tulip]

I was not testing that banana if that's what you are thinking

[stark karma]

Hard to say

[heavy heron]

i say it’s confirmed

[heavy heron]

DAMN IT

not confirmed

[stark karma]

I have theories on other effects you’ve been testing

[lost vault]

bloodstone is ass

[undone laurel]

You guys are having your cavendishes expire?

[minor portal]

there will be a third banana

[stark karma]

Anti luck effects perhaps

[mental tulip]

you have no idea

no

[foggy sun]

I cant wait for 1.1, I hope we get some more decks added to the game 🙏

[undone laurel]

All I did was have it perish a few times

[lyric wave]

consider: oops all 6s

[oak grove]

I think it's a lovely card

[mental tulip]

it was unrelated to anything I was testing at all

[oak grove]

Make nunber go big

[stark karma]

Okay!

[mental tulip]

just a nattie dead nanner

[lyric wave]

kek

[stark karma]

Makes me so excited

[jaunty robin]

this run's going nowhere

[lost vault]

yes let me just summon a joker
because you can do that

[somber geode]

can we get a joker that steals all of your money and then dies

[stark karma]

I have no clue about anything

[undone laurel]

Good idea

[oak grove]

I want a jump scare joker

[foggy sun]

I would call it burgler. but then I remember, he steals all our discards and gives us 3 hands

[amber forge]

||Scary Face||

[stark karma]

Chicot already exists

[lyric wave]

fine if you don't want oops all 6s to appear, just land all 7 50/50s

[undone laurel]

Call it the thief

[wintry ice]

baron in ante 1 rare tag

[faint linden]

Hood Joker

[lost vault]

chicot is good

[little pike]

He not even a burglar, he’s just a dude that trades with you, he’s chill

[low lintel]

I hope there’s going to be a new Joker or some sort of effect related to Wild Cards.

[mental tulip]

no he steals

cannonically

[oak grove]

I really love a Baron build

[foggy sun]

I like him cause he synergises with space joker. my favourite joker to use in gold stake

[lost vault]

burglar lore confirmed

holy shoot

[wintry ice]

the balatro canon

[heavy heron]

steals your discards

[little pike]

The Balatro lore has been confirmed before my eyes

[crisp condor]

:)

[faint linden]

"Word of God" trope

[lost vault]

wow the Burglar canonically steals
shocker

[amber forge]

Burglar is the reason why the needle exists

[lyric wave]

idk why I thought of the BURGLAR as an upstanding citizen but this comes as a shock

[foggy sun]

It also makes royalty card NOT as terrible as it normally is, cause you can reasonably hit the hand threshold each round

[stray prairie]

im new to this discord channel.

[mental tulip]

horse this man

[stark karma]

He’s so good he jump scares me! 😆😆😆😆

[opaque vale]

clearly I go for the rental eternal joker, right?

[heavy heron]

is burglar burglar because he steals your discards or because burglars have fast hands or lots of hands or smth

[undone laurel]

And he's doing a good thing if you have 2 or less discards

[little pike]

I guess the player is just partners in crime

[crisp condor]

i love gambling

[foggy sun]

stop hating on obelisk, just take it, spam high card for the first 3 antes, and win

[heavy heron]

i’m leaning on the latter

[stray prairie]

is localthunk real

[lost vault]

no he steals your discards and throws random dismembered hands at you

[lyric wave]

but I don't like obelisk

[jaunty robin]

no

[crisp condor]

i think

[undone laurel]

Haha sometimes

[little pike]

I’m sayin! Still a criminal tho

[opaque vale]

I was /j

[heavy heron]

dismembered is crazy

[stark karma]

Thumk said good night but he loves us too much to go sleep

[lost vault]

i thunk

[foggy sun]

is the pope athiest?

[wintry ice]

poly obelisk is a good start

[serene forge]

i gave him a super amogus horse

[jaunty robin]

does the pope shit in the woods

[amber forge]

Now that thunk left I can finally leak the full image of the new art

[fringe crest]

horse

[opaque vale]

LET THE RECORD SHOW

[oak grove]

I have a seed for a free Brainstorm in first ante then 2nd round ante 2 spectra Ankh

[lyric wave]

quite poggers name

[heavy heron]

somehow it looks a little off

[fringe crest]

what chinese place should i go to

[stray prairie]

10/10

[low lintel]

Wow it’s beautiful.

[stark karma]

I’m genuinely gonna try to recreate it

[lost vault]

jasty

[low lintel]

I can’t believe you captured the image on both a high def and a crt monitor at the sam time.

[thorn dust]

wrong it actually takes up half the vertical screen because the new banana is a plantain

[faint linden]

I'd recommend one but it got shut down because it was a drug front

[thorn dust]

i am the fly on localthunk's wall i can confirm this is real

[fringe crest]

awh

horse incoming

[little pike]

Plantain truthers

[lyric wave]

mcdonalds

[fringe crest]

awh

[lost vault]

dude.

[stark karma]

I think it’s a Plantain

[stray prairie]

it was just hard to belive at first. lmao like goat is chatting with us.

[crisp condor]

they should add tf2 in balatro

[lost vault]

he swings by occasionally

[crisp condor]

/j

[lost vault]

just treat him like a normal person

[fringe crest]

localthunk should say something in chat

[somber geode]

this run

[fringe crest]

bait

nvm its plasma

[jaunty robin]

OMG ITS A SOUL

[lyric wave]

holy crap blueprint + arrowhead

[fringe crest]

take

[jaunty robin]

THE RUN

[lyric wave]

what is it

[wintry ice]

unfortunate arrowhead

[fringe crest]

how do we tell him

[jaunty robin]

place ur bets

[lyric wave]

yorick

[stray prairie]

we re not coming out of debt with this one 🔥

[stark karma]

Potential names :0

[jaunty robin]

trib

[lyric wave]

7 bucks

:(

[lost vault]

l

[lyric wave]

oh sweet

[jaunty robin]

so that changes the strategy

[fringe crest]

i hate trib

[lost vault]

trib is so smelly

[lyric wave]

trib's prob the second best hit

[acoustic kettle]

Worst you mean

[fringe crest]

localthunk why did you make it so i had to wait 80 souls for trib

[lost vault]

trib might be the worst legendary

[somber geode]

if only it wasn't fucking foil dude I couldve had a fun flush run that died at ante 6

[undone laurel]

✅

[undone laurel]

I once got an ante 1 trib on gold stake and easily won the run

[wintry ice]

what's the context of the soul

[lyric wave]

perkeo:

[jaunty robin]

NEARLY lost the run

[lost vault]

its close

perkeo is more versatile tho

[faint linden]

I made a goddamn particle accelerator with Perkeo once. Great with Observatory

[wintry ice]

perkeo has more general usage

[lyric wave]

trib is like photo but more

[somber geode]

I'm pissed

[wintry ice]

trib has the highest opportunity cost among the legendaries

[little pike]

where do you guys rank canio

[lost vault]

second best

[lyric wave]

best legendary in gold stake

[undone laurel]

It's good I think

[lyric wave]

imo

[wintry ice]

second best behind yorick for high stakes

[faint linden]

#2

[somber geode]

I could've have had a cool run immediately but now I have to take the rental blueprint or skip and cry inside

[undone laurel]

If it didn't make hanged men disappear

[jaunty robin]

i don't have the right jokers to pair with the trib rn

[lost vault]

yorick is too goated 📿

[lyric wave]

imo after blue stake, canio takes it over

[jaunty robin]

i will lose the run if i don't

[little pike]

caniooooo is just a little better for me in comparison to yorick

[wintry ice]

yorick still scales really quickly for no cost

[lyric wave]

true

[wintry ice]

canio atleast needs you to find a hanged man and use it on 2 face cards

[lost vault]

yorick is really fast scaling, little cost, and very consistent

[amber forge]

Yea Yorick will probably be the best legendary once blue stake is reworked

[lost vault]

even with two discards youre getting madness scaling for a much much lesser doenside

[acoustic kettle]

???

2nd

[wintry ice]

it's a case of high floor and lower ceiling vs lower floor and higher ceiling

[undone laurel]

And has amazing hook synergy

[lyric wave]

perkeo is the worst for getting to ante 8

[jaunty robin]

damn it

totally fumbled a legendary ✌🏼

[wintry ice]

trib has a much higher opportunity cost than perkeo does

[little pike]

Perkeo would stop being really cool if there was any other way to get negative consumables

[wintry ice]

you just need to find a consumable for it to benefit you

[lost vault]

perkeo’s really good for deck fixing i think, tarot gen is always nice, and perkeo lets you create tarots of your choice

or alternatively

perkeo good for money

:3

[wintry ice]

while trib needs you to dedicate your strategy to kings and queens for a rewaed that doesn't matter as much when the most you'd need to scoee in 14/15 decks is 1.2mil

[lyric wave]

tarot generation is really nice but every other legendary trivializes a run

including chicot for you weirdos who don't like it

[wintry ice]

except for trib

[little pike]

yeah, I’ll get perkeo and all of a sudden my entire run only wants to give me wheel of fortune and the lovers

[lyric wave]

don't forget the moon and the stars

[faint linden]

Canio is how I won Purple Stake

[lost vault]

thats just confirmation bias or whatever

something like that

[little pike]

Im exaggerating but still lol

[wintry ice]

you can just keep the negative bad tarots to filter thw shop

[heavy heron]

something like that

[lost vault]

true

[lyric wave]

it's better to just copy one thing

[heavy heron]

definitely

because you’ll make random copies of said bad tarots

[lost vault]

tarot looping tho

[wintry ice]

not when the things are giving the same benefit as a golden joker

which is the case that they named

[little pike]

Damn why didn’t I think of that 😭

[lyric wave]

golden joker is a common joker, and not all that good of one at that

top 2 worst econ jokers

[heavy heron]

$4🤤

[lost vault]

golden joker is pretty solid what

money is always good !!

[little pike]

delayed gratification:

[heavy heron]

that’s what i’m saying

[lost vault]

delgrat and satellite

[heavy heron]

delayed is golden joker with extra steps

[lyric wave]

delayed gratification is #1 worst

[wintry ice]

what's your defense for satellite being better than it?

[heavy heron]

satellite is never online by the time you need money

satellite spend money to get money!!!!

[jaunty robin]

hanging chad + photograph combo carrying rn

[lyric wave]

I don't skip celestial packs

[undone laurel]

The worst part is not being able to use discards to activate it

[wintry ice]

it can be infered that delayed gratification is worse by the fact rhat it's a worse version of golden joker

[lost vault]

still,

[heavy heron]

matador.. pray you find a boss that actually works

[little pike]

If delayed gratification has 0 haters I am no longer living on this planet

[heavy heron]

i know, and like you try to save discards but realize you need to discard anyway to survive

[wintry ice]

golden's estimated value is the same as or higher than that of business card in the earlygame

[lost vault]

econ jokers are massively more valuable in the early game, and satellite is shit early on

[lyric wave]

but gambling

[wintry ice]

and?

[lost vault]

stfu

[tiny raptor]

I played too much checkered deck and got caught off guard by seeing a club 💀

[heavy heron]

lemme spend like $20 i desperately need on like 5 random planets i dont care about so my satellite that i really need online already, starts actually doing something

satellite is a joke

[lyric wave]

incredibly based'

[wintry ice]

checkered brainrot has set in

[jaunty robin]

"start with 0 discards" son 😭😭😭😭😭

[fringe crest]

did i make localthunk leave

[jaunty robin]

BLUEPRINT

[somber geode]

run died due to having the fucking tooth at ante 3 with 0 acceptable scoring jokers

[heavy heron]

i don’t say it enough, but the water is a stupid boss

it should be -1 or -2 discards

not delete all discards

[lyric wave]

I hate the water

[lost vault]

-2 discards would be the same for most decks

[heavy heron]

yes true but

drunkard

or andy

[tiny raptor]

checkered deck is bad for my brain it made it too comfortable to not pivot out of flushes

[heavy heron]

or anything

wasteful

[lyric wave]

imo things that give extra discards should apply after the water

[little pike]

The Water keeps me up at night

[lost vault]

why

[heavy heron]

the same way hands trigger after needle takes it away

[lost vault]

they are passives

[somber geode]

this is the 3rd run that's died due to the tooth

[heavy heron]

like why does burglar beat needle but drunkard doesn’t beat water

[somber geode]

I hate the tooth

[wintry ice]

that would also need you to make them blueprint compatible

[tiny raptor]

Burglar activates when you enter a blind drunkard is passive

[wintry ice]

is the world ready for blueprint andy

[heavy heron]

but it isn't supposed to be passive

"each round"

?????

just like burglar

[lyric wave]

burglar is at the start of each round

[wintry ice]

the way it works is passive

[little pike]

It’s essentially a “temporary” discard voucher

[tiny raptor]

burglar says "when blind is selected"

[heavy heron]

yea… whatever

LOOLL

it’s just odd

because burglar completely counters needle

but anything that gives discards

[fringe crest]

i miss localthunk

[heavy heron]

can’t counter water

[little pike]

You get the discards from drunkard added whenever you pick it up

[heavy heron]

yup

[little pike]

Though that begs the question, if you use judgment with 0 discards will you gain the discards even during The Water?

If you get drunkard

[wintry ice]

yes

[novel thicket]

I can't prove it...but I had a Canio earlier...but not a single Hanged Man or Tarot Pack wanted to show up...this seed needs to be studied...posting that soon.

[little pike]

Interesting

[jaunty robin]

okay maybe this is me still being somewhat new but why is my hand size just shrinking

[little pike]

Because you’re evil

[lyric wave]

300k score vv feels illegal

[little pike]

Did you use any Spectrals

[heavy heron]

#1 reason to hate canio

you need your 1 in 22 tarot card to pop up

and it never does

[jaunty robin]

i get it now

[novel thicket]

RIGHT!?!?!? Any way...here's the seed.

[lyric wave]

don't use ouija and ecto takes away an increasing amount of hand size

:p

[heavy heron]

it’s alright, go another run you got this

[novel thicket]

It does, but not impossible! Just is in my case rn.

[heavy heron]

that’s kinda why if you feel like your build is already just fine on its own and can survive until ante 8

sometimes you just skip legendaries

i do that a lot

i skip so many souls

[lyric wave]

to be clear I'm used to seeing 1.2mil violet vessel

[heavy heron]

because i know my jokers already win on their own

[jaunty robin]

blueprint hanging chad and photograph are the only reason i'm still alive

[little pike]

You gotta believe in that build

[wispy coral]

why

[heavy heron]

and sacrificing one for a random legendary that may or may not do anything is.. pointless

[novel thicket]

True. There was sadly just no way out of that one.

[lyric wave]

sacrificing one for a random legendary could allow me to get rid of more jokers from my lineup, and get me more gold stickers

[heavy heron]

yeah it is what it is! you go again and try your best

[heavy heron]

true..

stickers is a different thing

[lyric wave]

the eternal question of "do I get the gold sticker or guarantee the win"

[novel thicket]

Oh I've been at the grind for about a year now. I fucking LOVE this game!

[lyric wave]

hell yeah

[heavy heron]

yeah it’s fun! i bet you’ve come far

[novel thicket]

In fact, I recently had my first Baron run. (No naninfe sadly.)

[lyric wave]

sweet, how high score?

[heavy heron]

dw naneinf is hard

i’ve never done it, lack of interest

but if you weren’t on plasma it’s likely not your fault

HAHA

[lyric wave]

naneinf isn't that hard-- UNSEEDED naneinf is almost impossible

[heavy heron]

i don’t have a single clue what 2 of your jokers are

[lyric wave]

faceless, fortune teller

[wintry ice]

ramen at best

[lyric wave]

also there's fuckin satellite

[novel thicket]

I wasn't LOL one sec. I'll tag you in my clips.

[heavy heron]

what’s the 4th?

[wintry ice]

but like

[lyric wave]

cancer

[wintry ice]

it's a 2x mult

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

well it feeds baseball at least

i’m ngl if you’re surviving on your own just fine, just skip it

[wintry ice]

i think 2x does more than everything but chicot at this point in the game

[heavy heron]

like does your score beat the ante 8 requirement?

[lyric wave]

look I know I said gold joker is the second worst econ joker behind delayed grat but satellite was my LAST joker for C and I forgot about it ;-;

[heavy heron]

(even with verdant leaf debuffing cards?)

[wintry ice]

how much are the scoring cards doing

[lyric wave]

verdant leaf when you have a valuable gold sticker and a setup that you can't afford to lose hurts so so much

[heavy heron]

i get you fr

[heavy heron]

i think they’re all joker scoring based on what it looks, 0 card scoring

chips from levels

mult from.. yea

[wintry ice]

i honestly don't remember the last time i went into leaf with on-scoring

[lyric wave]

if it weren't for verdant leaf I might be at like 140 instead of 104 gold stickers ;-;

anyway cya chat I'm gonna go do things lel

[heavy heron]

good luck w things!

[lyric wave]

aye, gl on the grind if you haven't gotten c++ yet

(have you? lul)

[heavy heron]

i have dw HAHA but thank you

yes, a long long time ago

[jaunty robin]

bro can the steam machine PLEASE release already

i cannot play this game on my mac

[wintry ice]

oh yeah i'm likely gonna have c++3 after 1.1

[heavy heron]

maybe try it on your phone

[jaunty robin]

have thought about buying it on the phone too

[heavy heron]

you should! i've been a mobile player from the beginning

[jaunty robin]

i enjoy the steam version

i bought it on sale during the winter sale cause i'd heard good things about it

didn't realize it was THIS good

[little wyvern]

why do you have all female jimbos

[jaunty robin]

well theres a gold deck win

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon heyyyyyyyyyyy~

[sleek ibex]

hey guys my game keeps crashing when i launch it im playing on xbox, anyone know what i could do

[hybrid tendon]

what's uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[wispy coral]

golden stake is so miserable holyy

[serene forge]

nah it's not hard at all

just luck based asf

[hybrid tendon]

not that bad tbh

[serene forge]

[lyric wave]

it's not particularly easy along with being pretty fuckin rare

[hybrid tendon]

it is pretty easy tho

just luck based

[wintry ice]

white stake plasma makes the ante 8 part of it easy

[serene forge]

a seed doesn't change much assuming you're on plasma

you're just doing the same thing

[wintry ice]

so the plan is just getting the economy to find the pieces while carrying some chips

[serene forge]

if you have no clue how to play then of course it won't work

[lyric wave]

oh yeah to be clear this is coming from the guy who never plays plasma unseeded

[naive cove]

M’ladies

[little wyvern]

photochad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if im cooked

its over if plant comes

[cloud sinew]

YEAHHH THE ETERNAL EGG WORKED OUT (i took eternal chaos and egg cause of abstract)

[serene forge]

plant doesnt counter photochad

[little wyvern]

ggs

[little wyvern]

wdym

????

[serene forge]

bro you skipped two fucking blinds before it you deserve to lose that 😭

[serene forge]

glass cards

and sell pareidolia

use a glass number and you win

[little wyvern]

im trying to get the joker so i need to win in less than 12 rounds

i never skip blinds

[serene forge]

mm okay

i think you should just build chips

it's white stake

[cloud sinew]

Plasma white stake should probably just build chips

you dont have green, let alone purple stake, scaling to worry about

[little wyvern]

yeah but when photochad comes then i cant refuse

ill just reset my run...

unless

i win with blueprint and throwback

[fervent wolf]

The high card starter pack

[little wyvern]

the window

[wispy coral]

i want to cry

[cloud sinew]

AAAAAH im terrified

I died next round because i couldnt scale campfire in time

anyway, incredible start

wouldve been insane if both were rental though

Wait no only riff needed to be rental

[heavy heron]

well.. that was.. easy i suppose

flat mult? never heard of it

my very poor scaling flushes did the trick

[little wyvern]

guys im on white stake plasma what jokers should i look out for?

[cloud sinew]

I also died (i suck)

[cloud sinew]

scaling chips

[little wyvern]

im trying to unlock the joker that i need to win in 12 or less rounds

[little wyvern]

like castle?

runner?

[heavy heron]

yes and yes

maybe even throw an odd todd in there!

[cloud sinew]

okay so

[heavy heron]

won't scale but might keep ya alive!

[cloud sinew]

i think immolate is still the best pick here

[heavy heron]

you know i think both are decent options

[cloud sinew]

I dont want to savescum

[heavy heron]

like if you had 0 money it's always immolate

but you have $20

so i can see the legendary play

[cloud sinew]

worst case soul is still $10

[heavy heron]

oh wait you're on black

[cloud sinew]

but i have good econ rn

[heavy heron]

yeah maybe risky choices are bad..

but true soul is still $10

take it

[cloud sinew]

ill go soul

CHIGOAT

[heavy heron]

YEAAAA

[cloud sinew]

I can ignore bosses now

[unreal island]

damn im hungry

[heavy heron]

now you just need score

[cloud sinew]

actually huge

[unreal island]

i sure could go for some Ice Cream right now

or maybe some Popcorn

[heavy heron]

better not play 20 hands!

[heavy heron]

or 5..

[cloud sinew]

i have early game scoring with blue & holographic, i just need scaling

[unreal island]

wtf are you saying

thjats kinda Gros Michel

[heavy heron]

...

we've all bean there

[cloud sinew]

square on black... i dont know

[unreal island]

its like 2:30 AM

i might turn into a crazy joker at this rate

[heavy heron]

prob not

[unreal island]

someone gotta give me a certificate for doing this for so long

[heavy heron]

but the jupiter 😍

[cloud sinew]

eh

[heavy heron]

yeah no i know you wouldn't take it

[cloud sinew]

id rather open the standard

[heavy heron]

but boy does it look tasty

[unreal island]

yummy easy to scale chipps.....

[cloud sinew]

I got a glass purple seal

taking it cause of gloker

purple seal is whatever cause of delgrat

Do i take this now that i dont need to worry about plant

[heavy heron]

speculative pareidolia

sounds like a solid take

business… faceless.. parking..

you never know

anything beats delayed grat for money

[little wyvern]

why must the game do this to me....

[cloud sinew]

I think i need bus here

[heavy heron]

ahhhh it’s fineee

[cloud sinew]

also i got squoker from judgement

[heavy heron]

scholar no big deal

[cloud sinew]

bye parei

[cloud sinew]

lol

[heavy heron]

i think you found your bus

[little wyvern]

but wee

[heavy heron]

ante 3 a littleee late

but better than never

[heavy heron]

ohhhh the wee

you’ll be fine

HAHAHAHA

[cloud sinew]

IM GONNA CRY AAAH

I did the math

and i realised

[heavy heron]

4 chips

[cloud sinew]

I would have to play my glass ace

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

[cloud sinew]

and i was off

by 4 score

[heavy heron]

if you scaled square joker just once more

you had it

[cloud sinew]

god

we go again

[heavy heron]

good thing you can always try again

[cloud sinew]

such is the black deck life

[heavy heron]

yup!

[cloud sinew]

i love roguelikes

[little wyvern]

two odd tods on ante 3 plasma is good

[wispy coral]

🤑

[little wyvern]

oooo

chicot

[wispy coral]

goat

[weak seal]

my goat 🔥

[dapper belfry]

balbato

[cloud sinew]

okay i think i have to sell trousers for loyalty

double burglar means i can proc it every round, planets are my scaling, and blueprint means i get x16 when it procs

[molten thicket]

thats a lot of eternals

[cloud sinew]

thats black deck for ya

[last geyser]

Holy

[cloud sinew]

i lost because of blue seal greed

we go again

[last geyser]

Why are you torturing yourself by playing black deck 😣

[cloud sinew]

i want to get better

also its fun to say i did it

so im going for black deck only C++

I have to get to gold stake first

[last geyser]

Black deck only C++ 😭

Damn

Goodluck

That’s crazy

[normal sable]

Chat I'm cooking???

oh invis doesn't copy negative 😭
nah i've burned the kitchen

[potent tree]

just get something like AJ or cavendish and pray

[last geyser]

😭

[normal sable]

also invis can copy invis

nice design

[last geyser]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt copy the invis progress though

otherwise infinite money

[last geyser]

I never realised that

[cloud sinew]

sadly im not photochadding

I will take chad over egg though

[mellow cypress]

Odd todd MVP

The gold stake king

[cloud sinew]

I didnt even realise it was ante 8 oh my god

Orange stake down

[exotic orchid]

So, if new jokers are coming to 1.1. Are they going to be added into the c++ requirements? Did localthunk say anything about that?

[cloud sinew]

They absolutely will be

[exotic orchid]

So, do all c++ people lose their achievements? Lol.

[mellow cypress]

Yeah, but you can't remove a steam achievement (from steam, can from game mem)

[cloud sinew]

it wouldnt make much sense for jokers to be excluded in the "gold sticker all jokers" achievement

[last geyser]

Do we know anything about when the update will be releasing ?

[cloud sinew]

Well

we do but

to quote localthunk

"It's done when it's done"

[last geyser]

🫠

[exotic orchid]

Thunk teased some stuff today. Showed his banana. So, hopefully soon.

[last geyser]

Yeah I saw!!! 🔥

[cloud sinew]

Only the steam user can remove their achievements using S.A.M, the dev cant, so no.

[mellow cypress]

^^^

[last geyser]

I wonder how long it will take me to get C++

[mellow cypress]

It won't remove them from your steam profile, mostly sure cos SAM is permanently detectable once used a single time

[last geyser]

I’m on 65/150

[mellow cypress]

I'm at 146/150

I'm not getting the final 4

My pool is better 🚬

[exotic orchid]

C+ will be pretty consistent time wise. C++ even I don't know when it will be done. Sometimes i get 3-4 jokers done. Sometimes none.

[last geyser]

Why

[mellow cypress]

I just said

My pool

Is better

[last geyser]

What pool

[cloud sinew]

legendaries?

[last geyser]

Hmmm I see
How much are you on?

[mellow cypress]

No I've gold stickered every legend

[cloud sinew]

So then your pool isnt affected by sticker progress

[exotic orchid]

67% i think.

[mellow cypress]

They're mid so I don't want them in shop (I forget what they are)

[last geyser]

Nice

[cloud sinew]

but they will still appear in the shop

[exotic orchid]

Ye. Its really slow. xD

[last geyser]

Yesterday I got like 10!!

[mellow cypress]

Not unlocked, maybe in schizo, ik magic trick upgrade can't I haven't unlocked that one

[exotic orchid]

:0 anaglyph?

[mellow cypress]

Idek which jokers it is ✌️

[last geyser]

No ghost I got 5 then 2 then 3

[exotic orchid]

Ah nice.

[cloud sinew]

unless its showman or idol (which is impossible for showman) then i think you should probably unlock it

[mellow cypress]

Got both

I can't even remember

What 4

Keeping magic trick upgrade out the pool saved so many runs though

[cloud sinew]

which page are they on

[mellow cypress]

I'd have to boot up my pc

My mobile profile is unlock all cos I cbf

[terse vale]

[last geyser]

4 fingers 🙃

[mellow cypress]

I have 4 fingers

Good joker

[cloud sinew]

spotty internet, oops.

[mellow cypress]

RIP

Telstra type beat

[cloud sinew]

probably seeing double or HTR

theyre quite specific

[mellow cypress]

I have HTR

I like htr

[last geyser]

Obelisk ?

[mellow cypress]

Seeing double does what again?

[mellow cypress]

Got it, W joker

[mellow cypress]

Oh wait that's the clubs spades

[last geyser]

Hiker?

[mellow cypress]

Yeah i got that

I got hiker

[thorny bloom]

I can’t understand how to play this fucking plasma deck

[last geyser]

Seance ?

[mellow cypress]

Early game chips are king whichever number bigger on one side it gets copied into other side, if chips bigger it's chips X chips
Pivot to mult later in game, preferably retriggers or good scaling

Shits sasy

[mellow cypress]

I got it, very nice find

[mellow basin]

Just ended a run with a 44x Hologram after getting Hologram, Blueprint, Certificate, and Magic Trick in Ante 1.

[last geyser]

wtf don’t you have then 😭

[mellow cypress]

Idk twin keep naming jokers U might guess it

[exotic orchid]

Go chips heavy for first few rounds. Then flip to mult when you get your first or second xmult.

The flipping time is tricky to master.

[mellow cypress]

First few antes***

[last geyser]

Marble joker?

[exotic orchid]

Ye. I misspoke.

[mellow cypress]

Nah I got marble

[last geyser]

Superposition?

[thorny bloom]

Thank you all, guys, I will try

[mellow cypress]

Nah I love superposition

[thorny bloom]

🦾

Hiker sound like musthave

[mellow cypress]

Hiker is giga mid

But has his uses

[thorny bloom]

Giga mid? You think so ?

[steep iron]

UHHHmmm

[last geyser]

Flowerpot?

[exotic orchid]

A good idea for plasma is to have some backup money to quickly flip.

[last geyser]

SPLASH?!?!?

[mellow cypress]

Flowerpot I have, not a huge fan, I prefer playing 4oak and build into flush5

Nah I got splash man

It's easy to proc Xmult tho

[last geyser]

How is there FOUR jokers you don’t have and splash isn’t one of them

[mellow cypress]

I'm booting up

Splash is GOADED

Dooood

You don't get it

[exotic orchid]

Ayo chad balatro.

[mellow cypress]

Nvm it's 147

[last geyser]

Golden ticket ?

[mellow cypress]

nvm it is HTR

I must have been on my mods profile when checking

[last geyser]

Bruh 😭

What’s the other 3

[mellow cypress]

yeah so the 4 7s of clubs is onyx

agate

[last geyser]

Ohh

[last geyser]

[mellow cypress]

[exotic orchid]

I got stone in a anaglyph negative gamble.

[last geyser]

That’s the one I thought was marble joker

lol

[mellow cypress]

Must have only played him on modded prof

[last geyser]

🫠

[torpid bridge]

Somehow my winrate on green deck is higher than on checkered deck

🙂

Probably because I suck at keeping money

[exotic orchid]

My highest win rate is probably erratic. Which i won first to last without losing once lol.

[steep iron]

[torpid bridge]

Still looking for a run with midas vampire combo

Never had such run

🙂

[exotic orchid]

Ngl, the scaling is not really worth it.

[steep iron]

i found mime

[torpid bridge]

Idc

I play for gold sticker

[exotic orchid]

Yeah its a fun combo for sure.

I got it in a purple stake.

[torpid bridge]

Not even fun

I just want gold stickers on midas and vampire

[steep iron]

thats the synergy

[torpid bridge]

On my lost save I had gold sticker on vampire

[cloud sinew]

I really want thunk to make the enhancement jokers be weighted higher the more of that enhancement you have in deck

[torpid bridge]

The save is gone

I paired vampire with vagabond tho

Which is not great

But there was nothing I could do about it

[cloud sinew]

nothing ridiculous, something like you need to x4 to get it to be 100% higher weight, so 1 at 1 enhancement, 2 at 4 enhancements, 3 at 16, etc

[cloud sinew]

vagabond vampire is awesome wdym

[torpid bridge]

I want to get rich with gold cards

And lucky cards

When I play vaga

[cloud sinew]

yeah but winning

[torpid bridge]

Vampire beats that purpose

[cloud sinew]

also you can choose to keep those around

just dont score them

[torpid bridge]

Then vampire scales too slowly

I think vampire needs a rework honestly

[cloud sinew]

not really, keeping golds around is better for vampire as youre getting econ to buy other enhancements

[torpid bridge]

Cancel special effect is a big penalty

Or so I though

At least

[cloud sinew]

0.15x scaling would fix it

[torpid bridge]

Like

Getting a special effect card is hard enough

And vampire cancels it

To get x0.1

[cloud sinew]

not really

[torpid bridge]

On gold stake its not always easy to open tarot pack

[cloud sinew]

enhancements are quite common, its just that the scaling you get is usually quite pitiful

[torpid bridge]

The reliable source is from jokers

Like midas

Vaga

And those are not always available

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

Thats what i was talking about

[cloud sinew]

making vampire 0.15x would completely fix it imo

[lunar zealot]

67

[cloud sinew]

it used to be 0.2x and it was very good, now its 0.1x and useable

[steep iron]
