[bold wave]

wait im stupid

[signal frigate]

Oh, that explains it.

Suddenly I'm disappointed

Let me guess, you can buy legendaries using Robux?

[bold wave]

no

its actually mostly f2p

[signal frigate]

What's the catch to free Balatro?

Cosmetics?

Aura for your jokers?

[bold wave]

u can rent decks for 1 run

for 29rbx

[signal frigate]

Somehow that's even worse.

[bold wave]

yes thats entirely it

so its not T H A T kind of f2p

[fervent wolf]

Omg, I hate roblox so much. Glad I don't play that awful slop anymore

[signal frigate]

So if you wanna play different decks, you have to pay for it

[bold wave]

no?

[signal frigate]

There's rare gems

[stark karma]

You have to be trolling

[bold wave]

you can normally get the decks through grinding

[signal frigate]

Like Decaying Winter

[bold wave]

and thats HOW you get the decks

[fervent wolf]

Don't care

[heavy heron]

is it cardlike or whatever

[signal frigate]

An ENTIRELY f2p and actually requires skill of a game

[fervent wolf]

Balatro better

[bold wave]

yes

[signal frigate]

It's basically tarkov meets dark souls

And I got obsessed with it

[stark karma]

Are there brainrot jokers?

[bold wave]

no

[heavy heron]

well if you’re having fun, good! but you are missing out a bit

[bold wave]

actually

js Q

js 1*

[signal frigate]

Play the real game man

[fervent wolf]

Fr

[bold wave]

no im poor

[fervent wolf]

Exactly

[signal frigate]

Someone gift this man Balatro

[heavy heron]

[signal frigate]

We have to free him from that slop

[bold wave]

[heavy heron]

[fervent wolf]

Yes fr

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[bold wave]

[signal frigate]

I'm saving up for something else so I cannot right now

[heavy heron]

[fervent wolf]

For me it was 10 so idk

[heavy heron]

no it’s $9.99

[bold wave]

HOLD ON

[signal frigate]

I would unironically gift it just for pure spite because I hate soulless Roblox copies

[bold wave]

ITS $13.50

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[bold wave]

ON MOBILE

THATS A SCAM

[heavy heron]

i mean yeah wtf how does roblox get away w it

[heavy heron]

no way

[fervent wolf]

No it isn't

[heavy heron]

screenshot it

[signal frigate]

How is it a scam? That's even less than Silksong

[fervent wolf]

And besides, Roblox is a real scam

[heavy heron]

are you from the US?

$13.50 can’t be right

[signal frigate]

Silksong's $20 dollars

[bold wave]

no

im not from US

[heavy heron]

mmmm

[signal frigate]

Then what's your currency?

[fervent wolf]

That explains it

[heavy heron]

^

[bold wave]

BSD

[signal frigate]

Canadian dollars?

[signal frigate]

I blocked it

[heavy heron]

where’s tve price

[bold wave]

bruh the message covered it

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[signal frigate]

Brazilian dollarinos?

[signal frigate]

Bro

[heavy heron]

FUCJ

[signal frigate]

13 us

[heavy heron]

$13.50 US??

[signal frigate]

Eh, that's actually not bad

[fervent wolf]

That's not bad

[heavy heron]

where are you from if you don’t mind me asking

[bold wave]

bahamas

[signal frigate]

Oh

[wintry lynx]

its 10 dollars us

[heavy heron]

also what phone do you have

[signal frigate]

I was gonna guess Brazil

[heavy heron]

because an apple card will not work

[bold wave]

unnecto bolt 10

[signal frigate]

That's an android

[bold wave]

(aka android)

[signal frigate]

It's playstore

[heavy heron]

i wonder if he VPN’s to the US

will the price go down

[bold wave]

im not

i dont have a VPN

[heavy heron]

no worries

$13.50 is a lot jesus

[signal frigate]

It should be localized but it's weird that it's not

[bold wave]

wait

lemme check on my pc

[heavy heron]

i mean yeah compared to other games it’s not bad but like damn

[bold wave]

how much it is on steam

[fervent wolf]

Roblox can steal more from you in a single purchase what

[heavy heron]

it was cheaper during winter sale

no idea now

[heavy heron]

every game can

or most

[fervent wolf]

Not Balatro

[unreal vine]

There's an apk to free Balatro in mobile guys xD

[signal frigate]

It's a fuckin blessing in this economy where triple A devs think charging for 60 dollars for an unfinished slop is good service

[heavy heron]

yeah LOOLLL

[fervent wolf]

Steam sales are just better imo

[bold wave]

...

$15 on steam...

[signal frigate]

Hytale definitely worth the base triple A price though

[bold wave]

15 FUCKING DOLLARS

[unreal vine]

0$ in mobile

🗣️

[barren wigeon]

AHHH PIRACY AHHHHH PIRACY AHHHHHHH

[fervent wolf]

Oh wow, the price of an average McDonald's meal

[signal frigate]

It's steam, sales drops that shit down to as low as 5

[heavy heron]

the thing is we can’t even gift it to him

because

gift cards are like

locked to place of purchase

even digital ones

[signal frigate]

You can just add him as a friend and gift it there

[unreal vine]

What's "fiable" in English guys?

[bold wave]

btw you can gift people steam games

[heavy heron]

“The recipient's Google Play account must match the card's country”

[signal frigate]

What

[heavy heron]

oh steammm

yeah true

[unreal vine]

Fiable is Spanish

In English

[unreal iron]

whats fiable

[signal frigate]

I have no idea what that word means

Describe it

[bold wave]

yall covering for me😀

[unreal vine]

When you trust someone

Or smth

[signal frigate]

Trust??

[unreal iron]

?

[unreal vine]

That

[bold wave]

liable.

[unreal vine]

Thank

[unreal iron]

its still reliable

[signal frigate]

Oh reliable

[bold wave]

reliable/liable

[unreal vine]

The apk is reliable trust me

[signal frigate]

That's a funny way to spell it

[signal frigate]

That's called Piracy

[crisp condor]

ε:

[unreal vine]

I thought it was trusty or smth like that

[unreal vine]

+_+

[signal frigate]

Henlo

[fervent wolf]

Don't pirate indie games, what a loser move

[unreal iron]

[safe venture]

John flush

[bold wave]

Υπάρχει μετάφραση Google

[crisp condor]

[unreal vine]

Not going to spend 8$ in a game and loose all progress when I change it lil bro

[unreal iron]

we are aware

[safe venture]

Yes I am!

[crisp condor]

it ain't gonna get you anywhere

[unreal vine]

There's not cloud saving fricking Balatro

[fervent wolf]

Skill issue

[signal frigate]

Hey dummy, your save file still exists after you purchase it

[bold wave]

sucker

[unreal vine]

Fr

[fervent wolf]

There literally is? I use cloud saving for Balatro

[safe venture]

If you think about it

[crisp condor]

what's gaming

[safe venture]

8 bucks is 5 bucks

[signal frigate]

It's for both Mobile and Steam

[unreal vine]

Not wanna move files from mobile

[safe venture]

Not enough to be 10 bucks

[crisp condor]

how

[signal frigate]

Yeah, you're dumb, cloud saving exists

[safe venture]

But not too little to be e bucks

[unreal vine]

In android?

[safe venture]

Yes there is

[fervent wolf]

Yes

[signal frigate]

Fuckin log in to Google play

[safe venture]

If you connect it to your Google play account

[unreal vine]

Ah great

[fervent wolf]

I use Android

[signal frigate]

Lmfao

[safe venture]

It'll cloud save

[unreal vine]

Nice

[safe venture]

Me too

[unreal vine]

Thks

[signal frigate]

I use both

[unreal vine]

Let's give some money to LocalThunk

[signal frigate]

He'll appreciate your Big mac

[unreal vine]

For sure

[signal frigate]

TWO big macs

[unreal vine]

And still not 1.1

[crisp condor]

do y'all play balatro while listening to music

[crisp condor]

never ate one

[heavy heron]

kinda hard making a game all alone

[unreal vine]

Balatro main theme is cinema

[fervent wolf]

Yes

Sometimes I do

[signal frigate]

I listen to podcasts instead

[crisp condor]

u do u

[signal frigate]

Balatro's OST is too good to replace

The game isn't complete if you don't play it's OST

[safe venture]

Sometimes i listen to the metal remix of balatros main theme

[unreal vine]

Probably, but bro, 5 years, I know is an indie but bro

Daily remember to play todays balatrodle

[signal frigate]

He is one man

[unreal vine]

Reminder? Idk the word

[heavy heron]

he should make a daily run where everybody gets the same seed for the day and your goal is to complete it, and whoever gets the highest scores by ante 8 will be shown on a leaderboard for that daily run

[signal frigate]

Terraria has an entire fuckin team and it still took 3 years for the 1.4.5 update to be finally finished

[signal frigate]

It's coming out next week

[crisp condor]

i feel like I'm gonna get ear raped

[safe venture]

I listen to this while playing

[safe venture]

It's actually pretty quiet

[signal frigate]

Lofi is good too

[safe venture]

For a metal song

[signal frigate]

I listen to lofi when playing most games

[crisp condor]

i see

the theme doesn't metal

[signal frigate]

Pokémon spotted

[barren wigeon]

No.

[lunar zealot]

Also bear in mind some indie projects have gone absolutely terribly

cough cough heartbound

[bold wave]

@heavy heron i made my steam acc now gimme balatro

[heavy heron]

bro

i don’t got $15 like that

[fervent wolf]

https://youtu.be/I4OhGig3u2w

[barren wigeon]

do NOT give bro balatro

[fervent wolf]

This is real music

[barren wigeon]

thats not how you ask for things

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[signal frigate]

Well that one was made by a hypocrite who thinks sitting in a chair in EA makes him a professional

[heavy heron]

i’ve gifted 2 ppl balatro so far and both times they stopped playing it in a week

[lunar zealot]

it is against the rules to beg for balatro on this server

[bold wave]

please

[fervent wolf]

Do I mod ping chat

[barren wigeon]

Starve.

[lunar zealot]

If you need to do it then like

do it in private

[heavy heron]

no no

it’s all good

[lunar zealot]

Nahhh

that's some narc shit

[crisp condor]

i have a very expensive tablet

it's a switch 2

[signal frigate]

It is our fault for pitching the idea because he's playing the Roblox copy of it of all things

[lunar zealot]

In their defense

[heavy heron]

well i’d rather him play balatro than cardlike

that is true

[lunar zealot]

roblox balatro is better than 95% of the current games on that platform

[bold wave]

so you want me to play a pirated version?

[fervent wolf]

No

[signal frigate]

Fucken up to you man, I don't care

[heavy heron]

i mean it is true.. cardlike is free

LOOLLL

[lunar zealot]

We want you to not get banned from this server at least

[heavy heron]

do what you wish

[lunar zealot]

If you need to ask for balatro dont do it here 😭

[heavy heron]

i feel like i would’ve offered it if i wasn’t single-handedly paying the whole thing but

[signal frigate]

I mean, getting a side gig or a job can help too

[lunar zealot]

I got balatro for free cuz i'm cute and adorable

[fervent wolf]

And 95% of games are better than roblox

[heavy heron]

..yea

[fervent wolf]

Totally

[bold wave]

job*

[heavy heron]

well that’s not that true

[signal frigate]

And I did say I would unironically do it just for pure spite because of Roblox but I literally can't right now

[lunar zealot]

Dead serious by the way i got gifted the game

[heavy heron]

roblox is fun

[bold wave]

was*

[signal frigate]

Roblox has some rare gems in that pile of steaming hot dogshit

[crisp condor]

warioware is a sort of roguelike

[heavy heron]

depends on the game

[fervent wolf]

I bought it on PC, mobile, and Playstation lol

[lunar zealot]

Slay the spire was 90% off two weeks ago

[signal frigate]

I bought that

Best decision of my life

[bold wave]

im gonna beg my parents for balatro

[signal frigate]

I love Slay the Spire modded

[signal frigate]

Goodluck man

[lunar zealot]

First of all

you have school

[slate vale]

Chicot 2 ???

[crisp condor]

let them play first

[lunar zealot]

focus on that not card game 😭

[slate vale]

D:

[fervent wolf]

Fr lol

[fervent wolf]

Pray for it

[signal frigate]

Bro's gonna lose grades cuz of Balatro

[slate vale]

I got ankh :D

[signal frigate]

His productivity will tank once he's able to play it

[crisp condor]

what do the chips on the jokers mean

[slate vale]

Yayayayay !

[crisp condor]

am i stupid

[slate vale]

D:

[heavy heron]

i bet productivity has tanked schools in general ever since ai

anyways

[signal frigate]

Completed a run with those jokers in certain stakes

[crisp condor]

a

[slate vale]

Another castle D:

[signal frigate]

AI just made students able to skip the hard part

Studying

[heavy heron]

which is like

[bold wave]

ew ai

[heavy heron]

the important part

[fervent wolf]

Exactly

[signal frigate]

Yeah.

[slate vale]

Yeah

[signal frigate]

Now in the future, you might get a botched surgery because a surgeon student used AI to pass Med school

[heavy heron]

i mean even like projects and hw like no longer having to do long research

[crisp condor]

gen ai should burn in hell

[bold wave]

FR

[heavy heron]

you could just ask chat to do everything it’s crazy

work ethic probably goes down to hell

[signal frigate]

To be fair, that was Google back then

[heavy heron]

not really? i mean

you could google information

[signal frigate]

This is much worse

[heavy heron]

but you couldn’t ask google to DO IT for you (make a whole project)

[bold wave]

mango

[signal frigate]

But in a way, people back then seemed to have the same thought about Google

[bold wave]

[crisp condor]

i want to play balatro, but im on the toilet

[signal frigate]

What's stopping you?

[heavy heron]

what’s stopping you

[heavy heron]

STOP

[nova junco]

balatro mobile

[crisp condor]

shit

[signal frigate]

Go grab your phone

[signal frigate]

I said it first.

[slate vale]

Stream windows to your little phone :D

[bold wave]

^ -

[nova junco]

wha

[signal frigate]

I thought my man said

"Stream yourself"

[bold wave]

this is basically how balatro's score grows

[nova junco]

uhhhhh wat

[valid ether]

egg

[nova junco]

egg

[bold wave]

egg

[heavy heron]

has anybody ever wondered why there’s no VC in this server

[signal frigate]

Steam is a blessing

[bold wave]

[slate vale]

Pew pew

[valid ether]

yes actually

[nova junco]

iirc thunk said it would be too difficult to moderate

[slate vale]

Huh

[heavy heron]

liek you can’t even stream balatro

[bold wave]

no actually

[fervent wolf]

It can't be monitored

[heavy heron]

which is likely why you wouldn’t, probably

[signal frigate]

I love that you can just change your game's artwork to whatever you want

[heavy heron]

enter VC with risk

[valid ether]

But then I thought, I wouldnt want people to yell at me here

[unreal iron]

this is actually peak

[heavy heron]

which already happens

here, want to see it happen?

[valid ether]

Especially this channel has scary people ma

[heavy heron]

red card sucks

[nova junco]

I didn't know that was a thing in steam

[valid ether]

i agree

I love packs

[unreal iron]

BROOOOOOOOO

[shell dagger]

I agree

[heavy heron]

AY AYYY BE CAREFUL

[signal frigate]

Most of my favorite games, I changed their background art

[nova junco]

They prob don't want unmoderated channels or smth

[heavy heron]

ancient joker is so bad dude

[signal frigate]

Okay

[unreal iron]

i cant be bothered most of the time

[nova junco]

HUH

[heavy heron]

can’t deck fix to one suit?

[valid ether]

Dont always want to

[signal frigate]

I just find it hilarious, so I do it because it's funny

[heavy heron]

well i expected it to be worse

but i only got yelled twice

not so bad

LOOLLL

[signal frigate]

Yeah, just right click it

[heavy heron]

it’s because chat isn’t so active rn

[heavy heron]

i was testing how easily i could get jumped n this server

[signal frigate]

I wanna use this once I have Silksong

[heavy heron]

but dw ancient is good

[signal frigate]

You were obvious

[heavy heron]

damn

[nova junco]

Very fast just say wheel is actually a 1 in 4

[heavy heron]

i gotta wait for more activity later

[valid ether]

Yea it was kinda bad ragebait

[unreal iron]

i remember when i used to do it i just had heavy and medic kissing for tf2

[heavy heron]

ragebait is a funny word

[signal frigate]

If you want a ragebait, make a Tierlist

[heavy heron]

why does seeing a controversial opinion about a game make someone rage

[nova junco]

(yeah I was taking part in the joke)

[heavy heron]

that’s hilarious

[signal frigate]

Literally doesn't matter what it's gonna be in it

[valid ether]

Multiple things can be true

[signal frigate]

This is mine

[nova junco]

Because any person who disagrees is wrong 100% of the time

[distant thunder]

after a shoot the moon run the game decided to give me a proper baron run 🙏

[slate vale]

Castle only ???

[heavy heron]

well i don’t know if that’s true

[unreal iron]

man i love demoman

[signal frigate]

Only thing I don't like about that feature is you can't really adjust the photo

[signal frigate]

I wonder who my main is

[nova junco]

Wdym obviously my opinion is the only correct one so anyone who disagrees is wrong

[unreal iron]

i had like 200h on demo alone

iirc

[signal frigate]

Hey me too

[heavy heron]

ahhhhh that’s true

that’s true

[signal frigate]

My previous account was like 600 hours lmfao

90% of that spent on 2fort or fuckin

Spyware?

I forgot the Mario mini games server thing

But yeah, it's either 2Fort or Mario servers

[heavy heron]

can yall go in your profile in the main menu, lower left corner and show me how many wins you have

[slate vale]

D:

[signal frigate]

I cannot right now but I actually remember mine, 79 wins

[heavy heron]

as it seems… castle may not be so good..

not 3 of them at least

[slate vale]

K649V9HV

Seed

[heavy heron]

4*

[heavy heron]

what about it

[heavy heron]

mmm i see

[slate vale]

Died D:

[heavy heron]

damnnn

[signal frigate]

Me when no Plasma

[heavy heron]

it happens!

[slate vale]

260 + castle iirc D:

[signal frigate]

That's a stuntman

[heavy heron]

4 chip makers, as it turns out, ain’t so good

mult is important!

[slate vale]

And erratic because funny D:

[signal frigate]

That's 4 stuntmans

[heavy heron]

it is funny

did you flop the 5oak

that’s the only mult source you’d have probably

[slate vale]

I got flushes no straights and max a foak in the whole deck

[signal frigate]

I doubt they'd have five oak unlocked in ante 4

[heavy heron]

interesting

[heavy heron]

erratic

[signal frigate]

One of my profiles is close to that

[slate vale]

If i'm not stupid-

[signal frigate]

Yk? I miss Elden Ring

[heavy heron]

i see

[fervent wolf]

This is my back up profile too lol

[obtuse shuttle]

..

[heavy heron]

what’s up

[slate vale]

If i'm not stupid-

[heavy heron]

which you’re not

[long sinew]

Hmmm

[heavy heron]

boring ahh win from yesterday

bro you know what’s funny like

[obtuse shuttle]

finally.. NANEINF

[signal frigate]

I adore Madness ngl

[heavy heron]

ppl say flushes don’t scale but that +2 mult from jupiters is my only flat mult

[heavy heron]

I SAW YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME TO NANEINF JUST RN

[signal frigate]

They don't scale as good as the rest

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

and what is the rest

[obtuse shuttle]

It was literally the first thing I did :D

[long sinew]

Saturn scaling is absurdly good

[heady narwhal]

there was a mult card in there

[heavy heron]

comparing flushes to 4oak and above sounds a bit unfair considering flushes are so much easier to draw

[signal frigate]

Straights, pairs, four oak, two pair

[heavy heron]

same with straights

[heavy heron]

pair and two pair don’t gain the same mult as flushes

[signal frigate]

Straights have a very similar odds to flushes

[long sinew]

Yes

[primal epoch]

balatro is so funny

[heavy heron]

that’s not true

[signal frigate]

Bit harder but they're essentially the same if you draw them

[heavy heron]

straights are way harder to draw than flushes

[long sinew]

But you can play like 4 pairs per blind

[signal frigate]

The only difference is, Saturn is borderline fucking broken

[heavy heron]

you’ll dedicate all discards and hands trying to draw one straight that’ll likely one shot

[long sinew]

Skill issue?

[heavy heron]

vs flushes that need 2-3

[primal epoch]

showman, in his infinite glory, gave me 2 eternal eggs

[heavy heron]

nope

[signal frigate]

Learn to count, check your deck.

[heavy heron]

yeah that’s the trade off

[signal frigate]

And you have the means to increase the odds

Use it.

[heavy heron]

so let me get this straight

[signal frigate]

And pairs are just insanely easy to spam

[long sinew]

It’s a very lobsided trade off, pairs are OP af

[heavy heron]

you mean digging through 2 discards and 3 pseudo hands and me still flopping the one rank i need

is a skill issue

ok

[obtuse shuttle]

i'm fine

[long sinew]

Let me get this gay

[signal frigate]

You're making it seem like Straights are impossible

[long sinew]

(I have a mod on always that changes straights to gays)

[heavy heron]

my bad i bottom decked my 4 9s in the bottom 20

[heavy heron]

i didn’t say that

you said that

[signal frigate]

They're basically the best hand in the game if we're not counting base scaling

[heavy heron]

i’m just saying comparing straights to flushes is

a choice

[signal frigate]

Actually we're counting base scale because straights scale insanely fast

[heavy heron]

yup, agreed

well 4oak scales better

but yea

and straight flush but nobody likes that

and 5oak and flush five and flush house

[long sinew]

4oak even more difficult to deck fix for

[heavy heron]

but yea

[signal frigate]

Those don't matter

[heavy heron]

exactly

[long sinew]

I had a great 4oak sqimbo run like yesterday

[signal frigate]

Straights are easy to deck fix, has reliable chip scaling and has some pretty decent jokers to work with

[long sinew]

Got sqimbo to nearly 499

[twin lantern]

I’m actually so bad

[long sinew]

400*

[heavy heron]

straights are easy to deck fix?

really?

wow

[signal frigate]

What the hell are you doing to not be able to play straights??

[long sinew]

If you know what you’re doing it’s not too bad, but I wouldn’t say easy

[heavy heron]

that wasn’t an answer

[heavy heron]

go ahead and tell me how you deck fix straights

and don’t say

“hang one end”

[signal frigate]

I am asking a genuine question

[heavy heron]

i’m playing gold stake

LOOLLL

[signal frigate]

Do you just go for Ace king 10 straights all the time??

Again, learn to fuckin count lmfao

[heavy heron]

no i’m finding what i drew that’s most close to a straight on first draw

and discarding for it

my boy you can only get about 23 deep in a deck

[slate vale]

Awasome :D

[signal frigate]

Well idk what else you're doing wrong then

[long sinew]

“Tell me how to x, but don’t say reasonable way to do c”

[heavy heron]

you can very much bottom deck the 1 of 4 rank

[bold wave]

yall

[heavy heron]

so just hanged man? that’s all you got?

what about strengths?

tell me how you deck fix

i’m curious

[signal frigate]

You can still bottom deck sure but it's usually not that bad if you have a straight build

[heavy heron]

my dude you can open tarots and not find your 1 in 22 hanged man

trust me it happens

deck fixing is partially luck

[bold wave]

i think i found the strat for cardlike

[signal frigate]

Cull duplicates, go for either low end or mid end, grab a shortcut or four fingers if you want an easier time

[signal frigate]

This is a fucking Roguelike, of course there's gonna be luck involved

[long sinew]

Also deaths and strengths usually going for ace through like 9 or 8, or handsize (which isn’t deck fixing I know) if you got enough handsize (like 9-10) you can just discard duplicates and hit straights

[bold wave]

joker x (any one of the dependant on suit cards) x alliance x mona lisa x quasar

[signal frigate]

The less duplicates you have, the more likely you get a straight

[heavy heron]

duplicates make you more likely to draw 2 of the same rank you need though, like if you strength 5s, you’re not more likely o get your 6 7 8 9 10 because the odds of you drawing the 7 8 9 10 were now lower

[bold wave]

this legit grows with how good and how long u play

[heavy heron]

deaths for straights? you need 5 deaths minimum to properly increase the odds of a straight

i do agree with the hand size part

[signal frigate]

More handsize Def helps

[long sinew]

That’s incorrect if you strength a 5 the chances of hitting anything else stays the same

[signal frigate]

Also holy shit it's 12am

[twin lantern]

I just failed on the easiest mode ante 4❤️💔💔💔

[heavy heron]

bro yall acting like i said straights suck, i didn’t say that

[signal frigate]

Imma dip

[bold wave]

@heavy heron yo bro im tryna make best cardlike deck

[long sinew]

Yea it doesn’t go very fast but it helps

[heavy heron]

good job

[long sinew]

Ight

[heavy heron]

that’s true, yes, but now you’ll be bloated with 6s and just cut off the chance of a 2 3 4 5 6

completely

so if anything strengths can kill your odds

i seriously think the most practical way to get straights is to find 1 more hand size somehow

or an extra discard/hand

[long sinew]

Well yeah but that’s the choice you make when deck fixing for straights, if you’re deck fixing for 4oak and you strength J to Q you don’t say oh but now you can’t get a 4oak for Js so you’re hurting your chances

[heavy heron]

i mean i’ve drawn a 6 7 8 9 and literally bottom decked my 5 and 10 after using all discards and hands

[bold wave]

hey nuur

[heavy heron]

huh

[bold wave]

so im on ante (level in cardlike) 2

[heavy heron]

but that’s the thing when you go 4oak your odds can only increase via strengths, like you’ll obviously go 4oak queens if you strengthed 2 jacks, your odds never went down because you’re not reliant on 5 different ranks of play, unlike straights

[bold wave]

and I'm doing like 1.6K in like 2 hits or smh idk @heavy heron

[heavy heron]

straights your odds to draw them on one end is just as likely on the other end

and strengths kill your odds on one end

which is detrimental and hardly adds odds towards the other end

[heavy heron]

i’ve never played cardlike

so i don’t have like

a reference on how good that is

but i’m sure you’re doing good!

[long sinew]

Well in the beginning it doesn’t but if you deck fixing hard enough you’ll be able to play plenty straights on your preferred end, the other end doesn’t matter anymore

[heavy heron]

yeah i guess so

i’m not saying deck fixing straights is impossible

it’s just a horridly difficult compared to most other hands

[icy hollow]

Mfw i been scaling pants so long then a random fortune teller is better in the shop 🥀

[heavy heron]

like i have a better time deck fixing towards a 5oak or flush five than straights and that’s not even a joke

[heavy heron]

LOOOLLL well

it’ll last you until ante 8 and is prob better

[long sinew]

Look I agree that straights is one of the more annoying hands to deck fix for but it isn’t that hard either, you spend most of your money on other things than dechfixing in a straight build

[heavy heron]

so

yea

like i’ll never go straights unless early shortcut

or 4 fingers

solely because of luck factor

[bold wave]

ante 4!

every round i get +1 hand

so basically i legit cant lose

my pair is at lvl 5

[stable owl]

What are your jokers

[modest snow]

is there a seed analyzer tool that will show me what shops will contain with certain vouchers like tarot merchant and if i have showman or not?

[heavy heron]

he’s playing cardlike, not balatro, just so you know

[heavy heron]

yes

i forgot what it’s called but it exists

lemme see

[bold wave]

joker, cutesy joker, deck joker, hacker, ans glitched joker

immolate

its called immolate

[bold wave]

the seed finder is called immolate

[modest snow]

ty ill check it out

[heavy heron]

https://github.com/miaklwalker/Blueprint

[bold wave]

immolate bruv

[heavy heron]

or that, whatever

[quartz ember]

thats in game?

ah no now i found it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fervent wolf]

I hate it too

Well actually

No

Bc it has synergy w me

[bold wave]

YES

[hazy smelt]

Will this retrigger face cards 2 times or 3?

[fervent wolf]

3

[bold wave]

@heavy heron i got shadow puppet

[heavy heron]

i have no idea what that is

[bold wave]

aka replays ur first scored card

[trim notch]

I hate the arm

[bold wave]

which is pretty op

[heavy heron]

that is pretty strong

[heavy heron]

pairs moment

[trim notch]

[narrow igloo]

3 retriggers on face cards

unless they got red seal

[calm furnace]

oh no le plant xD

[fervent wolf]

Got glass cards?

[void topaz]

the typa shit photochad enjoyers pray for

[trim notch]

[calm furnace]

i had boss reroll but this is funnier

[void topaz]

should brought an extra joker for extra gold sticker fr

[fervent plover]

guys

im planning to rerolling the game until i get to discard a royal flush

for tht joker

is there an easier method from ur side

[twin lantern]

I need help reaching orange stake

[fervent plover]

ok nvrmind

i got it rn

[calm furnace]

i got everything stickered

found 0 ankhs ffs

[void topaz]

a

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[calm furnace]

poly eternal photochad and 0 ankhs

[torpid bridge]

I hate ride the buss

Ride the bussy

[fervent plover]

what are the chances of this coming to my shop now that i got it?

cause i heard its strong when paired with the blue colored joker that copies to the right

[torpid bridge]

If you play the game enough the chance is high

Nobody with their sane mind plays royal flush

😭

[calm furnace]

strush is most fun hand in this game

[fervent plover]

struch?

[calm furnace]

straight flush

[torpid bridge]

Says the seance denial

😭

[fervent plover]

why not? isnt it the strongest hand?

[calm furnace]

oh f that card

[fervent plover]

k

[torpid bridge]

Your words have no value when you deny seance

[twin lantern]

Idk it's a rare joker ngl, you could be lucky if you find it with wraith or the rare joker tag but the odds might be low

[torpid bridge]

Seance is goated

[calm furnace]

never ever shows up when im doing a strush build

[fervent plover]

what is seance? i dont think i have it

[torpid bridge]

Its the hardest hand to pull consistently

[lunar zealot]

Straight flush is one of the worst hands in the entire game

[fervent plover]

oh consistently yea

[torpid bridge]

Its even harder than flush five

[turbid nova]

rate the setup gng

[calm furnace]

from base hands yes

otherwise flush house is better

[torpid bridge]

Flush 5 just needs alot of deck fixing to be consistent

[fervent plover]

its already hard enough to get a straight flush, chance of getting royal is clone to 0

[torpid bridge]

Meanwhile straight flush needs more than that

[versed dew]

You mean to get? Because technically its the highest card hand

[fervent plover]

why 5 specificly?

[lunar zealot]

Baseball card detected

Opinion respected

[torpid bridge]

But you re gonna pull it one day

[versed dew]

The highest starting one at least

[torpid bridge]

Its not that hard lmao

[calm furnace]

straight flush and royal flush are the same hands in this game

[turbid nova]

Got it from the tarot card that makes jokers

Forgot the name

[torpid bridge]

In this game we have deck fixing

[turbid nova]

Also got Yorick super early and got foil with wheel of fortune

Absolute blessed run

[torpid bridge]

Just fucking change every high numbers into one suit

[twin lantern]

Yeah I used the checked deck for it, I discard it mine there to get brainstorm unlocked

[spark kernel]

Chat where can i buy the streamer version of balatro

[calm furnace]

but playing for royal flush is kinda useless because its better to build straights around middle ranks

[torpid bridge]

I think checkered deck is the only deck where straight flush is a little bit easier to be played consistently

[calm furnace]

ghost

[turbid nova]

Judgement I think

[turbid nova]

Unless you get this fella

Love this card

[twin lantern]

Its kinda mid

[calm furnace]

well thays checkered with extra steps

[torpid bridge]

I prefer 4 fingers and shortcut duo

[calm furnace]

not with ancient

[twin lantern]

True

[fervent plover]

yea, this is goated

if u build deck right for it then its goated

[torpid bridge]

Its mid at best

[long sinew]

Smimbo

[brave goblet]

and then the four suit bosses

[calm furnace]

smeared is great for ancient

[torpid bridge]

The thing with balatro is the imbalance between utility of hands

[spark kernel]

And the run is over immediatly 💔🥀

[twin lantern]

But then the Head, The goad, the window and the club boss blinds makes you sell it no?

[torpid bridge]

The only hands that are worth playing are

[long sinew]

Eternal egg

[turbid nova]

I just be playing two pair, full house and straight most of the time

[calm furnace]

just skip

[torpid bridge]

High cards, pairs flush 5 and 4oak

[turbid nova]

lol

[lunar zealot]

you're forgetting straights

and two pair and 3oak

[twin lantern]

Wait how? 😭

[torpid bridge]

3oak is mid

[lunar zealot]

Hell i think a large majority of the hands can be playable

[turbid nova]

Who plays 3oak

Full house is right there

[lunar zealot]

jmibo

[torpid bridge]

If i can pull 3oak often i would play 4oak

🙂

[calm furnace]

lets say boss is disabling diamond and ancient is on spades you skip

[fervent plover]

is there a section where we cld report bugs or give features?

[lunar zealot]

full house is so unfathomably bad

it's just abysmal

[fervent plover]

i wish there was this feature in settings to mute the game when game is not focused.

[calm furnace]

full house and strush only base hands not worth going for

[turbid nova]

Why is full house bad

[lunar zealot]

Oh god it's 1 am i should go to bed

[calm furnace]

with strush if you have the setup for it you go for it

[lament bronze]

Never level up 4 of a kind to 21, worst mistake of my oife

[brave goblet]

the planet scaling is horrible

[calm furnace]

you rarely ever go for fhouse tho

[lunar zealot]

earth is a godawful planet and full house is much weaker to boss blinds

why ever play it when 3oak is safer and 4oak is stronger

[calm furnace]

its not its just not worth when 3oak scales almost the same and is easier to play

[frank grove]

You can go for full house to like transition into flush houses

[lament bronze]

And general rng

[calm furnace]

full house is 3oak with extra steps

[brave goblet]

because it's five cards' worth of opportunities to trigger stuff

[lament bronze]

Omly 5 chips of difference btw

[lunar zealot]

True true okay goodnight chat

[lunar zealot]

then play straights or 5oak

[turbid nova]

I think it’s easy to get compared to its value

I play it a lot

[calm furnace]

thunk hates earth

[lament bronze]

And full house has absolutely nothing going for it

[brave goblet]

full house has a ton of stuff going for it

[torpid bridge]

Its not

[frank grove]

Minus the fact full houses turn into flush houses

[lunar zealot]

none of them good stuff

[calm furnace]

all full house synergies work better with 3oak

[turbid nova]

I didn’t know I was in the full house hate club

[lament bronze]

Like:

[brave goblet]

it's five cards, it procs both duo and trio, it works for pants

[torpid bridge]

Full house is just useless hand

[lament bronze]

Lets not forget:

Or:

[brave goblet]

it has shitty planet scaling cause you can just make it up with card enh

[turbid nova]

The trousers card

[lunar zealot]

3oak procs both duo and trio

[torpid bridge]

4oak do the same thing

[calm furnace]

its my fav poker hand

[brave goblet]

yeah but 3oak is only 3 cards

[lunar zealot]

and if you want pants scaling then play two pair

[frank grove]

Yeah

[brave goblet]

yeah but 4oak is only 4 cards

[lunar zealot]

who gives a shit

[calm furnace]

but i dont play it

[brave goblet]

but two pair is not full house

[lunar zealot]

good jokers are hand agnostic

and don't rely on on-scored at all

[torpid bridge]

5oak exists buddy

[brave goblet]

but 5oak is not full house

[lunar zealot]

full house being 5 cards makes it a liability

[calm furnace]

worst hidden hand

[lunar zealot]

more often than a boon

[turbid nova]

This one

[brave goblet]

[torpid bridge]

Still better than full house i swear

[lunar zealot]

it's really not good

[calm furnace]

sadly yes

[lament bronze]

Pair procs duo

Three of a kind procs duo snd trio

Four of a kind does the same with family and scales 3 times harder than it and is also compatible with braindead deckfixing of 1 card spam instead of needing to invest into multiple hands

[vale wharf]

Chat, I hear 1.1 is around the corner? What's the latest news?

[lunar zealot]

it's soon™

[calm furnace]

you play fhouse if you have pants and found more earth than uranus

or if you have trib

[lunar zealot]

You play full house if you have both pants and obelisk

that's really it

[frank grove]

Yeah

[brave goblet]

but none of these are full houses

[vale wharf]

How soon™?

[frank grove]

That’s it’s shining moment , is obelisk scaling is easy to do with full houses

[turbid nova]

I stand alone I love fullhouse

[lunar zealot]

we kinda dont know

at least iirc

[torpid bridge]

I want in the new updates therell be more jokers dedicated for mid hands

[frank grove]

We don’t know

[torpid bridge]

😭

[calm furnace]

i respect that

[vale wharf]

Such as?

[lament bronze]

Its even funnier: Full house relies on all of these for anything it can do

[calm furnace]

im a poser full house lover

[twin lantern]

Nah buddy dw

[torpid bridge]

Full house

3oak

[frank grove]

But thunk has been doing polls about things recently so it’s coming along at least

[brave goblet]

high skill hand

[lunar zealot]

nice ai generated pfp and bio

[torpid bridge]

And straight

[vale wharf]

I saw this on reddit, so that's why I'm asking

[lunar zealot]

once i found out you were ragebaiting everything made a lot more sense

[lunar zealot]

lmao

[torpid bridge]

Straight deserve more jokers to synergize with it

Straight flush needs even more

The thing is

[brave goblet]

And how is thsi relevant to the conversation

[torpid bridge]

4oak can synergize with too many jokers

[lunar zealot]

this*

[frank grove]

yeah this was from last night

[torpid bridge]

And its base is damn high

[brave goblet]

sounds like someone's not got a full house (fatherless)

[lament bronze]

Not really i think straights are pretty strong as is, their issue isnt Joker relsted because shortcut is goated beyond belief for supporting it and its scaling is astronomical

[frank grove]

😭

[lament bronze]

Their issue is that they arent pairs

[frank grove]

straights are really strong, their planet scaling is INSANE

[torpid bridge]

I mean the scoring jokers for straight isnt as versatile as 4oak

[lament bronze]

And also -discard

[calm furnace]

it has 2 support utility jokers too

[lunar zealot]

blue stake rework would make straights an easy contender for top 2 hand

[brave goblet]

straights sadly get the fear of god put in them when they run into the flint

[lunar zealot]

maybe not top 1 because pairs would still be too strong

[torpid bridge]

Despite it being a big hand and can pull consistently 2 of them per round at max

[calm furnace]

yeah because 4oak contains trio and duo while straight doesn't

[lunar zealot]

also straights have some very good jokers yeah

[lament bronze]

Its a 4oak level of scaler off of something you can get more reliably than full house on an unchanged deck, its insane

[lunar zealot]

runner fpot order shortcut

[brave goblet]

It's pretty strange how straights are ranked lower in poker technically cause it's easier to draw (I think?)

[torpid bridge]

It should have more so that we can oneshot boss with it in the strongest setup

[calm furnace]

because mathematically it is

[brave goblet]

Yeah ik

[lunar zealot]

I mean assuming you have a 4 block of k-q-j-10

[frank grove]

yeah in like normal poker, in balatro its slightly less easier

[torpid bridge]

The logic doest apply to balatro i think

[brave goblet]

ye

[lunar zealot]

8/44 chance of drawing a card to complete the straight

[calm furnace]

the reason thunk made them scale better because straights are harder to fix for

[torpid bridge]

Cuz with a bit of deck fixing

[lunar zealot]

compared to a flush where it's like

[torpid bridge]

4oak can be drawn easier than straight

[lunar zealot]

7/44 or something

[frank grove]

4oak is easier to deck fix for

[lunar zealot]

idk

[brave goblet]

Five actual unique cards

[lunar zealot]

Im not good at math it's 1 am

goodnight

[torpid bridge]

Why we have same timezone?

[lament bronze]

And because it was the "I want to kill flushes so i can get praised for good game design" patch

[frank grove]

but there are decks that make straights just trivial to do

[calm furnace]

flushes were better before 1.1?

[fervent plover]

what is the one hand you guys kind of prioritize to play?

[twin lantern]

Reading y'all I'm starting to think I don't really know how to play this game ngl

[lunar zealot]

Pair

[brave goblet]

pairs that turn into 4oaks

[calm furnace]

🍐

[brave goblet]

unless I can't afford it in which case pairs

[frank grove]

pairs are just far too good

[fervent plover]

isnt tht one of the lowest hands? even though the prob of it appearing is the highest?

[frank grove]

idk how your make pairs worse without making every other hand worse as well

[lament bronze]

Unchanged bloodstone, sinful jokers at +4, agate at +8, slightly better scaling

[lunar zealot]

just get lots of mercuries

[torpid bridge]

Consistency is the key

[brave goblet]

it's the easiest to proc blue seals for

[lunar zealot]

pair being weak early is kind of a good thing as it lets you build up jokers like ride the bus

[calm furnace]

bloodstone was 1/3 but 2x no?

[lunar zealot]

and since you can always play it you can use jokers geared towards it

[lament bronze]

1in2 x2 on release, youre thinking Beta

[fervent plover]

yea. but how far can u go with it? max u can get with a really good luck of mecury in planet card is level six right?

[lunar zealot]

pairs are good bc they're consistent

[brave goblet]

pairs also proc really basic jonks like sly and duo, and enable you to throw away ranks you don't wanna play for stuff like bus

[lunar zealot]

what

[turbid nova]

I always never play pair

I wanna win in 1 hand

[lunar zealot]

there is no max level for planets

[calm furnace]

it aint even that weak because on magic deck if you have shop 1 mercury and dump the fools on it it carries

[torpid bridge]

Ngl there were times I lost the game cuz I cant draw any pairs

[brave goblet]

you can get to like level 69 in an ordinary ante 8 run lol

[torpid bridge]

🙂

[ancient gyro]

"ordinary"

[torpid bridge]

Like I wanted to play the last hand

[lunar zealot]

I'm going to bed

[calm furnace]

i died to the water once because o whiffed on pairs

[lunar zealot]

smug explain this for me

[fervent plover]

this is also a thing, sinece more unused hands means more moni

[torpid bridge]

And last hand doesnt give me any pairs

[ancient gyro]

u never got up

[lunar zealot]

Oh shut up

[fervent plover]

u can?

[lunar zealot]

you explain for me though ty

[brave goblet]

you can

[lament bronze]

Whawha

[lunar zealot]

byebye

[brave goblet]

blue seals are gamebreaking

[lunar zealot]

Find my pair writeup in my thread

[turbid nova]

fr

[torpid bridge]

It depends on your setup ngl

[calm furnace]

blue seals + burnt joker can get like 8 levels per ante

[lunar zealot]

Ok goodnight byebye

[fervent plover]

byebye

[torpid bridge]

Often the case being you play big hands like 4oak or f5 in retriggwr builds

[brave goblet]

and cause they're sort of low level, you can farm money playing hands with talisman, lucky cards etc and buy more mercuries

[torpid bridge]

And in retrigger build you want to save your best hand the last hand

[lament bronze]

ON WHY PAIRS ARE PLAYED ON GOLD STAKE (AS OF PATCH 1.0.1F)
generally, blue stake's (current, as of patch 1.0.1f) effect of -1 discard heavily discourages playing 5-card hands due to inconsistency in being able to draw them; flush in particular gets significantly more flak due to it not providing nearly as much scaling via planets or consistent joker scaling like straights and saturn/runner, to compensate for its being a 5 card hand
in this sense the evolution of the meta has largely favored pairs due to their generally being easy to draw, easy to make use of in-hand effects such as golds and especially blue seals, and more accessible synergies with jokers such as hologram (more effectively able to scale hologram via bloating the deck if the hand played is largely unaffected by deck size hampering easiness to draw), blackboard (one can play a pair and unscored hearts/diamonds in order to always proc it) and scaling +mult jokers such as green joker (discarding for pairs is redundant)
tl;dr pair good

[icy hollow]

Ante 7 obelisk pickup saved the day lol

[brave goblet]

W

nat neg cat?

[low wigeon]

W flush build?

[fervent plover]

i would say flushes i feel are more consistent

[potent tree]

trio thinks it's doing something?

[brave goblet]

may you run into the most inopportune suit boss

[torpid bridge]

The cat rocked

[lament bronze]

Why play Pairs instead of High Card?

• You can draw a pair 90% of the time, so you can play pairs consistently unless you get extremely unlucky
• Slightly better chips scaling from Mercury
• More synergies with Jokers like Sly and Jolly Joker, Seeing Double and The Duo
• It's the best hand to maximize for Obelisk pivoting

[icy hollow]

Yea. In ante 8

[low wigeon]

That’s true

[turbid nova]

What was your most played

[icy hollow]

Only got 1.25x lol. Last hand procced 1 lucky

[icy hollow]

2 pair

I was doing trousers

But a fortune teller in the shop had more mult lmao

[brave goblet]

lmfao

[icy hollow]

So i swapped it at end of ante 7

[frank grove]

yeah i think having more hand-ish specific + mult scaling like trousers could make pairs slightly worse and other hands better

[lament bronze]

Significantly less score and synergy with the reliable jokers™

[potent tree]

chat it is erratic deck time

[brave goblet]

shoud've put all the xmulters in the front to scale up pants more

[icy hollow]

I didnt have enough scoring

[turbid nova]

You got rid of blackboard??

brooo

That’s like one of my fav jokers

[icy hollow]

Perishable and going for 3rd c++

Gonnasave good jokers for later lol (if i can)

[potent tree]

oh damn 8 kings including 4 of hearts...bloodstone baron build time!

[icy hollow]

But i mean main thing is that it perished

[brave goblet]

bloodstone baron 💀

[feral atlas]

is this good Its my highest score

[potent tree]

2 of the worst jokers in existence yes

but it's white stake, what could go wrong...?

[icy hollow]

Swapped the blackboard for gros michel sticker
