game discussion when fun discussion gets added to the server

[pearl moss]

I want to boast my gold collection but i am not at 100%

[clever sage]

i mean im just saying that it doesnt matter if you get helped or not to reach an arbituary number that doesn't even do anything for your completion

[pearl moss]

The pain to get stone joker will be real

[patent shore]

are you familiar with elden ring

[clever sage]

yeah but we're not playing elden ring

we're playing balatro

so

[patent shore]

can someone who used summons say they beat the game

[pearl moss]

Yes

[patent shore]

they cant

[pearl moss]

Nah

[patent shore]

not mimic tears at least

[clever sage]

did you see the credits of the game

[pearl moss]

They beat the game

[clever sage]

then you did beat it

[lunar zealot]

Lowkey chaos the clown is hot as hell

[pearl moss]

I am using the mechanics of the game as intended

[patent shore]

what if I cheated

[clever sage]

honestly

[pearl moss]

I don't see an issue here

[clever sage]

jolly andy

kinda fine

[patent shore]

youre using dishonorable cheese

[clever sage]

are you cheating to get any sort of materialistic reward

[pearl moss]

Dishonorable cheese that is literally intended by the devs

[clever sage]

like a prize at a tournament

[pearl moss]

Lmao

[clever sage]

if you arent then literally who cares

hell there are tournaments that encourage cheese like speedrunning

[patent shore]

its to filter out between regular tarnished and proper elden lords

[clever sage]

who cares

they aren't using your savefile so who cares

[remote verge]

im turning this mf into a joker

[pearl moss]

^ yeah this, and it's not like this wasn't intended by the devs. If it's there and put by the dev, then you're expect to use it

[patent shore]

sowm things just dont cohnt

[pearl moss]

Best part of it

Its optional

You get to choose to play what you want to use

[brisk abyss]

Balatro tomorrow

[pearl moss]

I like using mimic cause i like having stand

[patent shore]

if i hire a professional to get to naninf for me did I really get to naninf

no

Just cause you pressed the buttons on the screen doesnt mean....

[pale wolf]

hel

[pearl moss]

What

[pale wolf]

o

[pearl moss]

[patent shore]

that was the original conversation

[clever sage]

for who

you seem like the only person in this server who cares

[pearl moss]

I mean some people just can't calculate

[latent egret]

we got the naneinf detective over here

[patent shore]

spiritually

[pale wolf]

if you dont figure out how to naneinf on your own then you didnt really naneinf

entirely with no resources

[clever sage]

you arent judged in heaven if you got help to beat a videogame

so for who does it count

[pale wolf]

if you've heard of naneinf then you've already cheated

[molten thicket]

is this satire like genuinely

[clever sage]

tell me any sort of tangible difference it makes to get helped at a singleplayer game that you're playing by yourself

[molten thicket]

my brain is fried rn

[clever sage]

what is it a fucking cognitohazard

[pearl moss]

I don't see an issue with people getting help in reaching a naneinf

[patent shore]

that ur not the one doing that

[patent shore]

no issue

[clever sage]

you pressed the buttons, you saw the number in your own screen

[patent shore]

youre just not the one who got to naninf simple as

[clever sage]

you're not awnsering my question

[patent shore]

What

[clever sage]

what does it change to get help so you can reach an imaginary goal on a singleplayer game you're playing for yourself

because naninf does literally nothing

it doesnt get you an achivement, it doesnt get you any sort of advantage

its just a glitch

that you get to see if you do very specific things during a run

[pale wolf]

they achieved naneinf with assistance

[patent shore]

achievements arent physical

[clever sage]

so?

its just a stupid calculator error

[patent shore]

therefore you didnt truly achieve naninf

[molten thicket]

i dont get your point lol

[clever sage]

and what does achieving naninf get you

do you 100% instantly

does localthunk send you an email with a 1 billion dollar prize

[patent shore]

youre not judged by God or Localthunk when you cheat naninf

[molten thicket]

whats wrong if i ask someone with a decision that im struggling on

[clever sage]

then by who

[patent shore]

you just cant think to youtself and say "yes, I beat naninf"

[clever sage]

there's nothing to beat lmfao

its not a boss blind, its not a "goal" in the first place

its a number glitch

[molten thicket]

if i ask someone on how to solve a maths problem then is that considered academic cheating

[patent shore]

we're talking about the round

[dusty void]

Yo WHAT did I miss

[clever sage]

you get the number, you see it for a few seconds, then just move on

[dusty void]

I had a godly run btw

[clever sage]

some guy is saying that reaching naninf with help doesnt "count" because you did it with help

[patent shore]

in a test yeah lol

[calm sapphire]

they should fix naninf bc it's too small

[quartz ember]

I think the funniest thing about all of this is that the original guy literally does achieve naneinf without help (for all we know). The only thing they did was basically ask "does this naneinf" and someone answered yes

[clever sage]

but this is not a test LOL

[dusty void]

Wtf

That's so dumb

[clever sage]

its not getting you anything

[patent shore]

the rounds are the test so to speak

[dusty void]

That would be me

Saying yes that is

[molten thicket]

this is not a test

[dusty void]

How does that not fucking count

[molten thicket]

what are you testing for

[ancient gyro]

4 immuhlates and 5 emperor tarot loops layer

[calm sapphire]

there is no rules 😭

[dusty void]

Oh btw @robust rapids did it end up hitting naninf

[molten thicket]

this is just you playing a singleplayer game

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[clever sage]

oh yeah it did

[dusty void]

Right??

[patent shore]

these people think im talking about some judicial laws

[calm sapphire]

Does getting Naninf with bean bug count as cheating?

[dusty void]

Oops all 6s walked so bloodstone could run

[robust rapids]

Still playing out my hands in the final round. Scoring takes so long lol

[dawn sedge]

what ....

[dusty void]

Is the grass blue and the sky green

[clever sage]

you're speaking about naneinf like its some sort of ultimate test in balatro that gets you something by doing it

[calm sapphire]

get talisman mod

[ancient gyro]

did you ppl play yesterday or nah

[serene forge]

cheater

[molten thicket]

is this just "i think im wrong but im in too deep to back down so im continuing"

[robust rapids]

Playing on mobile lol

[serene forge]

nah

[dusty void]

Ooh nice

[calm sapphire]

to me its still naninf just a different type

[serene forge]

vic was busy and we didn't want to get too far ahead

[clever sage]

you're literally this guy

[dusty void]

I legit get the worst rng once I get the setup for a naneinf

[molten thicket]

bcs if it is then im not wasting my time i still have to do stuff

[patent shore]

if you got to naninf with the help of someone its not you who got to naninf... its the team....

[ancient gyro]

gotcha

[calm sapphire]

naninf is like piss easy

[clever sage]

but instead of beating a boss with cheats you just asked a friend if the attack would finish the boss off

[patent shore]

you and other persons in question got to naninf, together

[clever sage]

and

[dusty void]

I don't get retcon, I don't get burglar, dna, antimatter, ecto, etc.

[patent shore]

then jts not you personally

[clever sage]

what does that change

[clever sage]

and??

[calm sapphire]

I think there is no 'counts' and 'doesn't count' its more like how big of an achievement it was

[molten thicket]

ok thats so elitist mindset

[dusty void]

What?!

[calm sapphire]

if you get help it lessens the achievement

if you use restrictions it highers it

[patent shore]

it changes that you cant say I got to naninf you therefore have to say I and my group got to naninf

[quartz ember]

yea this is a good way to put it

[clever sage]

i can understand this mindset but at the end of the day its your personal choice

[dusty void]

Did I play the fucking hand for him

[calm sapphire]

well ye, never said it doesnt count

[clever sage]

the only thing im saying is to not be a dick to people who decide to play differently

[calm sapphire]

thats dumb

[clever sage]

which is what this guy did

[calm sapphire]

you set the goal and you got it

[dusty void]

Did I buy the jokers

[dusty void]

No this guy is being slow

[patent shore]

Ad hominem

[quartz ember]

I breathe
nuh uh
I and my parents before me breathe

[molten thicket]

can we argue on sth more interesting

[patent shore]

im just straightforward

[dawn sedge]

naneinf joi

[patent shore]

gem

[dusty void]

Let's talk about how brainstorm is objectively worse than blueprint

[molten thicket]

i mean thats just true

[dusty void]

Okay fine

Hmm

[molten thicket]

what's there to argue abt

[clever sage]

im not saying you are a dick in general, im saying you were a dick to someone which is what started my argument

[dusty void]

Mystical summit is good

[patent shore]

completely unrelated and false example

[dawn sedge]

it is good tho

[patent shore]

comparison

[molten thicket]

ehhhh

[dusty void]

It's a run saver

[clever sage]

what are you even talking about

this isnt ragebait anymore its confussionbait

[dusty void]

Sun Tzu

[molten thicket]

i dont like that it restricts my ability to discard but for what it's worth its pretty good

[dusty void]

Brb I'm washing my hands they're too sweaty

[clever sage]

im not going to question how you decide to play the game

[dusty void]

How does it restrict it?

[dawn sedge]

delayed gratification is good

[dusty void]

Lowkey depends

[acoustic kettle]

Delgrat gets hit hard by blue stake

[molten thicket]

to dig i mean

[dusty void]

Blue stake is worse than gold change my mind

[dawn sedge]

coldest take oat

[patent shore]

not everyone is worthy of naninf

[molten thicket]

if you run out of discards then you cant dig anymore

[calm sapphire]

naninf is not hard at all tbh

[molten thicket]

brooo ts so tuff ✌️

[calm sapphire]

i could get it every like 3 seeds

[acoustic kettle]

Naneinf is just so boring

[calm sapphire]

5 for sure

[median gust]

Buenos dias

[dusty void]

Sir...My RNG says otherwise

[calm sapphire]

sir

[median gust]

Time to win gold stake

[calm sapphire]

give me 5 seeds and one of them is easily naninf

[clever sage]

im going to remove myself from this conversation because this is just ragebait

[molten thicket]

its just rng lol it isnt that deep

[dusty void]

But I'm ass

[calm sapphire]

🕯️

[shell dagger]

then it isn’t rng

[dusty void]

My rng is also ass

[shell dagger]

no it isn’t

[drifting beacon]

nothing is so hard in balatro

[calm sapphire]

double ass

[molten thicket]

rng with a bit of skill sprinkled in

[pale wolf]

rng gets further eliminated the higher skill

low skill is high rng

[calm sapphire]

try getting 1e2235 without perkeo on a random seed

[quartz ember]

i think getting a big wee is hard

[molten thicket]

no but its naneinf

[drifting beacon]

Just needed bean bug

[clever sage]

I'd argue that its not about "eliminating" rng but rather preventing it

[pale wolf]

ye

[calm sapphire]

you can minimize rng but there is always an rng aspect

[dusty void]

Gang I went 6 endless antes in a row with good econ and didn't get a single blank, burglar or dna

😭

[clever sage]

and using it to your favor

[pale wolf]

its not guaranteed

[calm sapphire]

well its more complicated than that

[quartz ember]

get better econ

[calm sapphire]

that's like saying you just need jokers to beat gold stake

[clever sage]

As someone who's played isaac a lot, the best way to approach rng is not to avoid it but rather know how to work around it so that you can always get something from it

[dusty void]

Is $250 per round not good

[craggy hearth]

shh

[pale wolf]

that is the same thing

[clever sage]

in my opinion there is a difference

[craggy hearth]

they're listening

[pale wolf]

if you prevent something it is eliminated

lol

[shell dagger]

how many voucher skips did you see

[clever sage]

read what i just added upon

lol!

[dusty void]

I got this earlier today btw

[dusty void]

Uhhhhh
Idk

It was last week

[calm sapphire]

9 double tag voucher skip:

[acoustic kettle]

This is the same thing

[dusty void]

Idk how to work with skips

Cause they say you shouldn't

[shell dagger]

so it’s not an rng issue

[drifting beacon]

??

[dusty void]

Then what do I do

[molten thicket]

balatrocord's nightmare

[dusty void]

Pray tell

[clever sage]

I should had clarified it's my own interpretation of playing with rng and its not supposed to be "the" way to do it

[shell dagger]

watch endless runs and absorb

[acoustic kettle]

Head is coming

[shell dagger]

better use of everyone’s time

[pale wolf]

menacing the head

[clever sage]

I apologize for that but I still see it that way

[calm sapphire]

brother 'just need bean bug' my ass. it's like saying you just need baron to get naninf

[dusty void]

Dude you wouldn't fucking believe the next ante

[dusty void]

Shit I mean....

[robust rapids]

@drifting beacon @dusty void @shell dagger got the naneinf! Thanks again for all the advice 🙏 I managed to pull a negative reserved parking in the last shop so I may keep playing antes to get the highest ante possible before the run dies

[calm sapphire]

W

[dusty void]

LET'S GOOOO

[prime harness]

go go

[drifting beacon]

It's not harder to bean bug than naneinf or anything in the game, YOU say "it's not hard to naneinf" man ...

[latent egret]

its gonna be 32 sadly

[dusty void]

Not 39?

[calm sapphire]

naninf is easy 1e2000+ isnt

[robust rapids]

Can't get serpent on 32?

[acoustic kettle]

32 has no serpent

[pale wolf]

its not particularly hard its just boring

[molten thicket]

yo do you need a nat neg bp/bs/mime/baron to a39

[dusty void]

Ohhhh

Right

[calm sapphire]

you need either bean bug or perkeo

[molten thicket]

without bean bug

[pale wolf]

people use mods to speed the game up for a reason in endless

[clever sage]

actually could i ask something in the topic of help

[quartz ember]

in the standard approach yes

[latent egret]

i think its not even enough

[dusty void]

Yea I see why

[latent egret]

you need perkeo no ?

[dusty void]

Unfortunately I'm on mobile

[clever sage]

Whats like a general piece of advice to play better

[latent egret]

pairs

[dusty void]

For cryptids yea

[quartz ember]

yea you need 2 nat negatives or some

[shell dagger]

2 of these works

[acoustic kettle]

Pairs

[calm sapphire]

a39 glitchless without perkeo is nearly impossible

[drifting beacon]

it's not hard, it's just more RNG dependant

[pale wolf]

stay above interest, watch balatro university

[serene forge]

i want to try a perkeo ghost endless run sometime but I can't get mods on my version so i refuse to do so

[clever sage]

im like fine at balatro but i just wanna improve a little for the sake of actually winning games

[dusty void]

Econ is a higher priority

Than scoring

[calm sapphire]

there is a lot of great execution required too

[clever sage]

I am very stubborn about one shotting the first blind for the econ

[dusty void]

Bc bad econ = less jokers

[acoustic kettle]

I mean not if you die

[molten thicket]

would cryptids be sustainable enough to a39

[dusty void]

Yes

[dusty void]

Yes

[molten thicket]

like can you generate enough to meet the demand

[shell dagger]

easily

[dusty void]

But a39 is impossible to beat

[molten thicket]

yeah ik

[shell dagger]

on plasma deck you need like 6 cryptids to beat ante 32

[dusty void]

It's hard coded to guarantee drearh

[acoustic kettle]

I mean you have serpent every ante other than 32

[shell dagger]

then the standard naneinf setup beats ante 39

[drifting beacon]

Man ... I know i'm a nan streaker

[calm sapphire]

if you get pass a32 you can prob get to a39 without cryptids at all

[molten thicket]

yeah you can just burger serpent

[dusty void]

Now how the fuck did you typo 32 intio 180

[ancient gyro]

no I just did one of these 💔

[shell dagger]

ante 32 is e180 score requirement

i muddled up the numbers

[dusty void]

Gift card is best econ

Lowk

[acoustic kettle]

Banger build

[pale wolf]

wtf is this

[dusty void]

Ah

[calm sapphire]

ye but it's hard, a lot more rng required also means you get almost no tries

[ancient gyro]

4 eternals in 1 shop

[calm sapphire]

like i only got a good seed one time for ts

[molten thicket]

has anyone found a seed to naneinf without a bmime build

[quartz ember]

for sure

without perkeo?

[calm sapphire]

i made one real mistake and it got me to 1e2235 instead of 1e3300

[quartz ember]

for sure as well

[calm sapphire]

yea

[quartz ember]

actually not sure

[calm sapphire]

idk about that

no perkeo no mime?

[quartz ember]

yea I was thinking of alternatively

but if you have none of them

[molten thicket]

so like a f5 build with idol and sock?

[acoustic kettle]

How does one naneinf without perkeo if not baron mime

[pale wolf]

cheating

[calm sapphire]

they dont

[molten thicket]

can you even naneinf with that

[calm sapphire]

no

idol is too shit

[acoustic kettle]

I mean if you find 10 nat neg sock and idol per shop maybe

[drifting beacon]

There is a lot of way for nan withour baron

[calm sapphire]

nope

wouldnt be enough

[molten thicket]

then how do you naneinf without bmime

[pale wolf]

you could technically get extraordinarily lucky with enough negative tags and showman

[calm sapphire]

per shop

ah

then yes

[heavy heron]

as it turns out, that intel guy was right

no but seriously this is the first time finding a baron actually saved me LOOLLL

i had 0 mult options 0

and i was already building steel + had troubadour

[calm sapphire]

yea and a space ray could flip a bit and give you naninf

[heavy heron]

and brainstorm was just extra

[quartz ember]

you can also supplement with cola+juggle tag and just raw red steel cards

[pale wolf]

juggle tag naneinf 🤔

[calm sapphire]

you'd need like 1k handsize

[molten thicket]

wouldnt that require like 2000 red steel cards

[calm sapphire]

ye prob

let me do the math

[acoustic kettle]

Possible

[pale wolf]

im

[verbal grotto]

Is there a mod that doesn’t block discoveries on seeded runs

[calm sapphire]

like 1800 hand size

[pale wolf]

at that point why care about discoveries

[quartz ember]

yea but all jokers focus idol, so i assume you can get it down to like half

[pale wolf]

just unlock all

[verbal grotto]

I want to see how much of the game I can complete on a bugged seed

[quartz ember]

(not reaally any more doable)

[molten thicket]

for a juggle tag naneinf you'd need perkeo copying ankh to copy the cola?

[verbal grotto]

By only using the bugged seed

[pale wolf]

hm

idk

[acoustic kettle]

Probably

[pale wolf]

#⚙・modding-general

[acoustic kettle]

Not enough cola normal

[calm sapphire]

maybe you could like edit the gamefiles to always give you that seed

[quartz ember]

unless you have enough money

[heavy heron]

i don’t think any regular man is capable of this

[acoustic kettle]

I don't think rolling down shops with 100k dollars is even enough for those colas

[calm sapphire]

i mean maybe they know some lua

idk

[heavy heron]

it’s not

[nova junco]

I think theres a setting in the steammodded

[heavy heron]

not for an uncommon

[calm sapphire]

i had 300k and it's not that much

[acoustic kettle]

Just delete the seed randomiser part of the code idk

[calm sapphire]

ye

[nova junco]

What😭

[calm sapphire]

just make it set the same seed

every time

instead of rolling

[nova junco]

I think steammodded can just enable unlocks on seeded runs?

[calm sapphire]

well maybe

not sure

giving an alternative

[fervent plover]

AAAHHH!!!!

$1 whyy!!!!

[tired kestrel]

wtf did you do to have 9 bucks on ante 2 on GOLD DECK

[fervent plover]

bought two vouchers

[tired kestrel]

this is why we never skip

[fervent plover]

😿

[tired kestrel]

Wait that doesn't even answer it because with intrest you should still have like 20 bucks

[cosmic sun]

least free vagabond run

[fervent plover]

well u see, i had 14. skipped to get extra voucher. then played the 2nd one.

bought both of them so spent 20

and then played boss of 1st

and red stake

so...

only $9

[tired kestrel]

They better have been good

[fervent plover]

well...

[tired kestrel]

Even if you had 10 bucks you take even steven here anyway because otherwise you just die

[fervent plover]

my main aim

was to get the achievement

soo.....

[tired kestrel]

oh bruh

[quartz ember]

well that is actually pretty worth

[sleek valley]

Gold stake on abandoned done. Took 6 attempts

Unfortunately incorrect. But you still win because you are the only person who guessed at all.

[neon trench]

Does a face card turned stone reset ride the bus? I know it was a bug at one point, but I don't know if it was ever fixed

[wintry ice]

not unless vampire turns it back into a face card before bus

[potent tree]

no if it's turned to stone it has no rank

[potent tree]

wouldn't that always be the case

oh wait nvm

i see. bus would trigger before vamp

[wintry ice]

if it's before it yeah

[ancient gyro]

meanwhile

[vale shale]

I forgor to play balatro again

I'm 1 week sober again

[cosmic sun]

gift card moment

[potent tree]

make sure dna comes before vampire so you have another enhanced card to drain

[ancient gyro]

im a stm player ik what I'm doing

(I died)

[fervent plover]

@tired kestrel is there any easier way to unlock the voucher achievement easier?

[gloomy vigil]

I should get the plasma deck

[peak blade]

took so many tries but i finally gold staked yellow deck
hanging chad, oa6, lucky cat, square joker, and finally got a gold sticker on seltzer

[stable owl]

Isn’t it guaranteed with dna

[kind blaze]

just had the longest drought ever of +20 mult hits on lucky cards and then just got 5 in a row

1/3125

[low tiger]

supernova card sharp build just got the eye 🫠

[dim elk]

i think i need a photo

[calm furnace]

first time in god knows when square is useful 😩😭

[queen dock]

Am I a sucker if I eat a sucker?

[safe ibex]

i have become god

[tall blade]

Fellas rate the setup

[calm furnace]

now that we did a square run i can finally go back to never using it again

less gooo

[half folio]

Y'all I only got erratic left for gold stake

[lost vault]

not enough 8ball value

[calm furnace]

doing black and plasma before erratic is crazy

[tall blade]

Aw shucks

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ancient gyro]

black deck

can't believe I would turn down a yorick atm

[tall blade]

Ts about to be violent

[safe ibex]

god, what a run

[karmic totem]

I found a gros michel and carried it to the ante 8 boss blind. Dies right after the boss blind. It was my only mult besides Jolly Joker. Cinema ✋ 😐 🤚

[safe ibex]

don’t worry, I’m sure he was feeling rather jolly as he went out

[uneven garnet]

Windows 11 😭

[tall blade]

Yeah I know💔💔💔

[uneven garnet]

Top 10 saddest anime deaths 😔

[karmic totem]

"Go on without me"

[uneven garnet]

Real mfs use Debian
-# jk, vibe with whatever OS you like... except Win11

[safe ibex]

[tall blade]

lol

[uneven garnet]

Try gaming on that

[safe ibex]

I frankly think that’s worse

[safe ibex]

Oh I have

trust me I have

didn’t get much farther than the “trying”

[uneven garnet]

Meanwhile Linux gaming is FLYING bruv

[tall blade]

What a run!

[uneven garnet]

Wine, Proton-GE, Bottles, The GabeCube...

[uneven garnet]

I really need to lock in cuz look at all those Antes vro

[lost vault]

qwq

[dawn sedge]

trouser

[lapis ice]

huh

[uneven garnet]

The higher the level, the better I guess, a Mult Ace has 11 chips and +4 Mult, so it really depends on what Misprint chooses

[lost vault]

probably high vard cuz of the level

[lapis ice]

i trust yall

[marsh dove]

bonkers shop roll lmao

[gloomy vigil]

should I hang the chad

[uneven garnet]

Pair that with the fact that you're on High Card lvl.7, you should be good

[lapis ice]

survived

[dawn sedge]

[uneven garnet]

LET'S GO

[marsh dove]

well

[shell dagger]

nah u don’t need mime yet

rebate makes more money

[tall blade]

My constellations eating good

[marsh dove]

[uneven garnet]

Talkie Walkie

[marsh dove]

so im gonna be paranoid and take mime i think

idk

[calm furnace]

i hate the water

i hate the water

im gonna boycot drinking water

thanks thunk

[wintry ice]

balatro players when you tell them to stay hydrated

[fervent plover]

no way

i was so cloosee

aah cmon

i did not even notice it was the last ante

or else i would have spent my money for a guaranteed win

such a good set it was

AHHHH!!!!!

[dawn sedge]

judgement would’ve given blueprint 100%

[uneven garnet]

That dumass Joker

[pale wolf]

what things does oops change

[gloomy vigil]

can we get much higher

[pale wolf]

[fervent plover]

bro its my 5th time im losing this ante. always the last ante with a really good joker set

[fervent plover]

mbmb, just fraustation

[vocal rose]

I know

but (hopefully) you won’t make that mistake again

or do it less often for improvement

[fervent plover]

ok

mb again

[vocal rose]

mb for what 😭

you didn’t do anything wrong

[calm furnace]

im a water enjoyer

but think decided to ruin my health

[vocal rose]

[fervent plover]

u reminded me to get water again

[dawn sedge]

no

[fervent plover]

muhehehe

lets see this run

[unborn cliff]

wheel of fortune or the wheel (boss)

[fervent plover]

skip is worth

[shell dagger]

Fibbin

[stark karma]

the 14 jokers I have left to gold sticker

[bleak blaze]

Trib is kinda surprising

And Rocket, but im so biased towards Rocket

[gloomy vigil]

red done

now next stake

plasm will be mine

[torpid bridge]

I remember

[dawn sedge]

what’s the easiest deck to win on gold stake

[torpid bridge]

I beat my first gold stake after 1 month of playing

[unborn cliff]

ghost

[gloomy vigil]

I wanna push the run toendless tho

[torpid bridge]

And that deck was black deck

-.-

[dawn sedge]

ok !

[shell dagger]

ghost and checkered are up there for winning one time

blue and yellow are best for streaking

[tall blade]

Aaaaaaand another win in the books!

[torpid bridge]

I personally think yellow is the easiest to win

[dawn sedge]

I like blue deck

[gloomy vigil]

720k in one hand

lovely

[dawn sedge]

hey what’s some good background noise while playing balatro

suggestions ….

[unborn cliff]

the in game music

[dawn sedge]

oh my god bruh

[rich mauve]

game music

it's our national anthem

[lunar sierra]

the game music

[gloomy vigil]

am risking it all

skipped 2 blinds in ante 10

if I win I get 2 free negatives

[dawn sedge]

alright bro I get it

[rich mauve]

🫡

[torpid bridge]

I listen to balatro music to work

[gloomy egret]

looks inside
looks outside

[gloomy vigil]

I DD IT

2 free negatives lmo

worth

[rancid niche]

Jimboless

[sinful estuary]

Am I understanding the plasma deck right? It adds chips and mult then gets the average and squares it? So you want the highest possible number of 1 or the other. With chips being easier to come by in higher numbers early game, the plan is to focus on chips early before transitioning into a mult + xmult setup?

[torpid bridge]

Yes

[rancid niche]

Yes

[sinful estuary]

hmmm that kinda messes with me, I always focus +mult early before branching out. Guess I need to look at the chips jokers in the first/second shop more

[rancid niche]

Any chip joker can carry you into the mid game (ante 4-5)

Well not "any" but chip scaling is very decent

Stone cards are powerful on plasma

Then you transition into xmult when you kinda have the chance

[sinful estuary]

yeah I figured it doesn't matter which since chips #s are much higher than +mult. I just kept prio +mult and xmult when I shouldn't be

[rancid niche]

Also planet levels do a lot

[rancid niche]

Well you can do a full mult game on plasma still

You just need to get big numbers

[sinful estuary]

like even a couple of bonous cards might be enough for ante 1-4

[rancid niche]

The options for xmult are a lot but they're uncommons and rares so you need to find them and scale them (if they are scaling jokers) before transitioning into xmult

[rancid niche]

Yep

You can one shot ante 1 and the second round of ante 2 and maybe even the ante 2 boss blind without any jokers

[lost vault]

looks inside
looks outside
where the fuck am i

[sinful estuary]

yeah I was def playin this deck wrong. I kept trying to force xmult before getting the base mult

[rancid niche]

Yeah it's okay

[lost vault]

plasma is strange

xmult is good but only later ob

on

[sinful estuary]

planet levels aren't quite enough on their own to function as the base

[lost vault]

depends on how many u get :3

COUGH COUGH blue seal

[rancid niche]

27 chips in the first two rounds is all you need, so three of a kind 9s in the second round is 900 and two pair of face cards and tens or aces and nines or anything can also one shot the first two rounds

[sinful estuary]

hahaha yeah okay broken seal but I'm not quite to the level of being able to find them every run in time

[rancid niche]

Ace high straight can one shot most of ante 2 rounds

[lost vault]

fair, they arent exactly common

[rancid niche]

They can be tho lol

[sinful estuary]

oh I'm sure they can be if you get enough levels but as a general plan for the deck that's not exactly a simple approach

[celest hazel]

Plasma deck, do you think I’ll win

[gloomy vigil]

[celest hazel]

Correct..

[rancid niche]

You don't need all that

You just need a bull

[spark kernel]

Blueprint is goated

[rancid niche]

That's such a wild take, everyone knows Blueprint is the worst joker in the game because you gotta think about what joker it should be next to

[last path]

zodiac deck gold stake win. i think i was too tryhard this run.

[celest hazel]

And a lot of money

[rancid niche]

If you get bull and you just play the game, interest will buildup giving you quite the boost, then you will be able to find a lot of hermits, also if you find any of the common money jokers then you're all set lol

[last path]

also i got like 3 money lucky hits in a row

[rancid niche]

You need a lot of money but it's not that hard to do

My plasma speedrun on gold stake was 3 bulls and two rebate's I think

[rancid niche]

Nice

[rancid niche]

Or the opposite I forgot

[last path]

is this build e possible. never gotten to e once

[cosmic sun]

Or learn the plasma xmult pivot

[pale wolf]

its not a good joker yea

blueprint might be the worst card in the game, and HERE is why:
It literally doesn't do anything. It literally REQUIRES synergy to do anything! and most of the time it doesn't even help. Put it with sixth sense, nothing happens. put it with Jimbo, you get +4 mult. big whoop. and it gets destroyed by madness so don't even try to have fun there!! Its just a worse version of the other do-nothing joker, brainstorm, because at least polychrome on a brainstorm is always on the right! You don't even have to aim with brainstorm, just drag the joker all the way to the left, blueprint is literally just a brainstorm that introduces user error. PLUS If you get blueprint in your first shop, you probably can't even afford it because it's always polychrome or negative or something useless like that, so think about it!!!!
finally, it's an rare which means that it takes up a valuable rare skip slot for Baron which is the best joker in the game.

[rancid niche]

Yes it is

[rancid niche]

Wise words

[last path]

well i have a dilemna. invis showed up. is it worth taking. if so. what do i get rid of?

[rancid niche]

Show me your deck

[nimble depot]

Insane handout win I pulled for the Double or Nothing challenge (only played cards are debuffed, so in-hand procs are fair game)

[last path]

i have a balance for the ancient

[edgy blaze]

If I have the ceremonial dagger at the start of Amber Acorn, is the shuffling done before or after the joker to the right of it is destroyed? I'm not trying to get rid of my strongest joker by accident.

[rancid niche]

You get rid of photo or sock

I'm not quite sure what's worse tbh but I think it's photo because you can replicate a photograph with one glass card

Also you need invis to hit ancient joker

[last path]

worst hit is sock if i sell photo

[rancid niche]

Worst hit is chad imo

It's eternal

[last path]

dusk is there i guess. not ideal, but not terrible

[rancid niche]

dusk is good

Best hit is ancient joker

[pale wolf]

dusk isnt what id call good

[rancid niche]

In that build it is

[pale wolf]

oh'

[rancid niche]

It's not face-card centered

[pale wolf]

'yes

[rancid niche]

So it's the best retrigger effect for now

[pale wolf]

dusk is what i would call good 😎

[last path]

also probably way too late to try and force a flush five pivot in ante 9

[rancid niche]

Yeah you should've started building towards that already. Also with wild face cards to make it 10 times harder to maintain the build

I'm so excited for the wild cards buff because it's my least used tarot and most hated tarot too lol

How high did you level your jupiter?

[last path]

23. so the base mult is at 48 rn

[fringe holly]

There's a mod i cant seem to find anymore. It would add s button just below the
Chips X mult
Boxes and if you pressed the button it would calculate the score for your current selected hand before playing it.

Does anyone know what this mod is called

[calm furnace]

this was such a shit run spent all my money in rerolls and found 0 cool spectrals to copy

[rancid niche]

If you can build towards flush five wild cards preferably with red seals, you might be able to unlock it and start leveling up before doing the pivot but that's a whole lotta work

[neon mural]

Had a really good run going towards unseeded naneinf but couldnt find the showman 🙁

[rancid niche]

pog ouija pog

[calm furnace]

i never ever had a perkeo run that was fun

[rancid niche]

fr it's so stressful lol

[calm furnace]

should have copied it and dumped them all till my hand size became 0

the one time perkeo was useful i had gift card and copied few temprance cards and sold perkeo for a better joker

[ripe lichen]

hey what does the showman do exactly?

not to interrupt, sorry

[wintry ice]

what was the better joker in this scenario

[rancid niche]

Honestly that would be the funniest way to end a run

[neon mural]

more blueprint + brainstorm

for more baron mime and DNA copy

[wintry ice]

you're able to get duplicate copies of things you already have

[rancid niche]

It allows for jokers that you already have to be shown in the shop

[wintry ice]

it's a niche effect outside of endless

[calm furnace]

some xmult forgot which

card sharp or smth

[ripe lichen]

hm, cuz i really don't understand the whole "Spectral, joker, etc cards appear in shop" thing

[ripe lichen]

ohhh i see

[rancid niche]

Jokers and consumables too

[calm furnace]

i mean this run perkeo acted like a blue seal for me copying mercury to feed const and my chips

[neon mural]

yeah it just means that things you already own can appear in the shop again. So its good for things like hunting multiple copies of a joker

[wintry ice]

the duplicate consumable part is what makes him generally detrimental

as you can't buy random stuff to filter them out

[rancid niche]

Yeah I still like showman

He just looks so cool

[wintry ice]

his joker art is decent imo

[rancid niche]

Yep

[rancid niche]

Have you finished all the challenges in the game?

[wintry ice]

yeah

[rancid niche]

That's my last achievment

[wintry ice]

golden needle was the hardest one

[rancid niche]

The golden needle and inflation

[wintry ice]

having 1 hand sucks

and water is able to appear there

[rancid niche]

I did jokerless first try lol

[rancid niche]

Dang

Do you have a strategy for golden needle?

These two really suck

[wintry ice]

jokers that benefit from discarding are good there

and you want a page 1 scoring joker or something of the sort as soon as possible

[rancid niche]

Yeah like delayed gratification

[wintry ice]

delayed sounds risky

[safe moat]

I think this set up will win

[rancid niche]

It does but when you get the run going you probably don't need to discard

Rebate is better tho

Yorick would be on fire but that's too rare to happen

[wintry ice]

having 1 hand makes 5 card hand builds basically required

[rancid niche]

Makes planet levels and deck fixing more crucial than ever

[crystal skiff]

guys do seeded runs count toward beaten runs ? cause im tryna beat the bleu stake to get the plasma deck but im genuinely losing it after losing for a week straight

[rancid niche]

I think I can win that with a straight build

[pale wolf]

no

[rancid niche]

Having 6 discards is also very powerful if you think about it

[rancid niche]

Seeded doesn't count

[heavy heron]

hit the road jack and don’t you come back

[crystal skiff]

damn, thank you

[mellow epoch]

Hello everyone, Im newbie and still a lot to learn, just a quick question: is this joker order optimal? (got some steel cards in deck aswell) first time getting this far, thanks for help in advance

[wintry ice]

it doesn't matter outside of holo chad

[mellow epoch]

checked yt limitedly cuz mobile data is limited and asked AI, got different answers

[wintry ice]

which is already in the optimal spot

[wary zodiac]

space jonkler build

[wintry ice]

also just don't ask ai for advice in games

[wintry ice]

most of the time it'll take hallucinogens and provide misinformation

[calm furnace]

i love a shit mechanic that makes me play less balatro

[mellow epoch]

so its the best order as it is on the screenshot?

[calm furnace]

yeah i get 1.5 to the power of 8

but the 2nd flash card should be behind ramen

[wintry ice]

yeah

[potent tree]

i present to you...something that shouldn't have worked.

[wintry ice]

given that chad is the only +mult joker there

[mellow epoch]

Thank you sir! first time hitting a million - i hope 😄

[ancient gyro]

ai told me to run a biohazard build

[wintry ice]

the

also i'm ma'am

[calm furnace]

ai is ok to ask it to crunch probability numbers

but it knows nothing about Balatro

[wintry ice]

you could use a calculator for that anyways

[mellow epoch]

I see, yeah AI is crazy sometimes

[potent tree]

oh god now a wheel hit poly on constellation...

[calm furnace]

dunno i dont know how to calculate probability

used it once during a roffle stream to calculate how unlucky he was

[mellow epoch]

Have a good day folks! (playing at work at 8 pm)

[calm furnace]

when immolate targeted his red seals

[wintry ice]

i thought you meant simplifying stuff

[calm furnace]

lemme see if i still have the calculation

cant find it f

but yeah dont use AI for things that you cannot verify or get someone else to verify

[lone tendon]

I love anaglyph deck for farming gold stickers

[lilac jungle]

:3:3:3:3

[safe moat]

Do I win this way then?

[rugged bloom]

first thing the riff-raff spat out

[cunning osprey]

I got streamer luck

[lone tendon]

that looks like streamer luck

[dusty zenith]

Is perkeo rarer than other legendaries? (I know its not im just ranting because I've probably had like 20 souls and got perkeo in none of them)

[wintry ice]

no people are just naturally subseptible to negativity bias

[potent tree]

give me some space chat...

[uneven garnet]

Is this a good build ?

[torpid bridge]

The order is cards in hand played -> cards held in hand -> joker score. For the joker scoring, + mult on the left and x mult on the right

[heady narwhal]

foil spare trousers is a good build on its own. everything else i could take it or leave it

[pale wolf]

for every phase its + to the left of x

[wintry ice]

pants and photosock are incompatible

[dusty zenith]

fair

[frail solstice]

ah yes. the dream abandoned deck setup ☹️

[heady narwhal]

mime is the dream abandoned deck setup

so much gold card & blue seal value

[wintry ice]

given that pants is foil and probably strong enough to beat white stake with like 1 2x mult joker i'd say keeping that is more advisable

[uneven garnet]

I didn't exactly take Pants for the mults (even though I play alot of Two Pairs), I took it for the foil

[rugged bloom]

What should I swap for Brainstorm? It might have to be the Canio

[pale wolf]

it would be better to just use trousers lol its far better than photo

[heady narwhal]

you should try to scale it i think. maybe pivot out of photograph since it's a bad joker

[uneven garnet]

Idk, I'm an impulsive buyer 😭

[torpid bridge]

Try to find chad then

[wintry ice]

you could definitely still keep it

since it scales that fast

[ivory portal]

Does anyone

[pale wolf]

canio i suppose :/

[ivory portal]

Play red card

[heady narwhal]

i mean it's the best +mult joker so yes

[wintry ice]

red card is very consistent

[ivory portal]

Really

[lost vault]

im so goddamn fluffy

[ivory portal]

I thought

There were better

[calm furnace]

nah

[pale wolf]

think of it as adding a winning option to every pack

[ivory portal]

True

[uneven garnet]

I'm thinking of getting that Spray I forgot what it's called and then get Chad

[wintry ice]

booster packs are something you always buy if you econ is stable

[dusty zenith]

Get a standard pack and farm kings from there :D

[torpid bridge]

What spray?

[ivory portal]

Well

[wintry ice]

and most hits are worse than +3 mult

[ivory portal]

Do I buy it here

[heady narwhal]

people don't like red card because of old orange stake (conspiracy theory)

[wintry ice]

yeah it's really early

[calm furnace]

yes

ez w

[wintry ice]

it's the best time to buy it

[ivory portal]

I'm still on black

[uneven garnet]

That consumable card ? The one that retriggers every card in hand ?

[calm furnace]

you got the money

[ivory portal]

Icl

[cunning osprey]

oh wow I did not know black hole could appear in celestial packs

[pale wolf]

[ivory portal]

Yeah I still dk what orange stake does

[pale wolf]

ruined

[ivory portal]

Still on black

[torpid bridge]

Not sure what you are talking about, do you mean the red seal?

[ivory portal]

I think I'm on black

I just beat blue

[ancient gyro]

i gave it a cool sticker shiny

[wintry ice]

blue is after black

[carmine palm]

Should I buy Brainstorm or stick with Baseball Card? I have 3 uncommon jokers already so idk what to do

[pale wolf]

bruising

[ivory portal]

Okay I'm on black

[wintry ice]

i'd sell smeared instead

[pale wolf]

i'd sell smiley tbh

[wintry ice]

or smiley if you get enough levels from space joker

[junior cave]

Smeared can still have value for baseball card. I say smiling face instead

[lost vault]

did thunk js

isn't it comprehensibility

idk

not here

[lost vault]

the joker self destructs if your hand contains 4 or mote aces

more

or faces

any card with letters on it

[ancient gyro]

no or little cut monologue compared to manga, more elaborate world building and such

[torpid bridge]

No what you are referring is basically degradation when adapting LN to mangas

[potent tree]

watch the barbie movie thunk

that's enough ryan gosling to make you happy i'm sure

[potent tree]

if you say like 10

[mental tulip]

It was good
