I want a fun run not a good one

[ancient gyro]

audible couldn't have ryan gosling read project hail mary to me during my morning commute 💔

[bleak blaze]

Real shit

[terse vale]

[mental tulip]

Omg chat

[terse vale]

ya

[ancient gyro]

omg what

[bleak blaze]

Hello!

[potent tree]

thunk found the book??

[willow frost]

so the plan is sell negatives, copy burglar, reroll and enter crimson heart, sell burglar, use dna, sell dna and then pray some hands hit

[pale wolf]

instantly

[mental tulip]

I read LOTR last month, then I saw the 25th anniversary rerelease of the first movie extended edition in theaters 2 days ago

[sacred cloud]

was the game updated in 2025? i just started playing after a long time

[mental tulip]

It was so great

[lost vault]

not

[potent tree]

lord of the rings is a good series

[bleak blaze]

BANGER

[potent tree]

i must rewatch

[ancient gyro]

no spoilers

[willow frost]

oh wait no i have to sell dna first whatever its fine

[pale wolf]

silmarillion next

[lost vault]

update's still in the works

but thats fine

[potent tree]

i read the hobbit in its entirety in like 5th grade

[bleak blaze]

Every christmas my family sits down and watches all of the LOTR movies

[ancient gyro]

still trying to find time

[lost vault]

a rushed update is bad forever
a delayed update is good later

[pale wolf]

okay picking gf up ✌️

[potent tree]

@terse vale good runs will always outperform fun ones

[mental tulip]

I saw the first LOTR in theaters when I was like 7 years old and I got so scared at the Lurtz/Boromir scene that we had to leave the movie (my dad and brother were with me, they’ve never forgiven me)

[lost vault]

sick

[terse vale]

I thought lord of the rings was just a movie I can’t imagine how big the book would be

[sacred cloud]

100% agree, i was just wondering if i missed something

[lost vault]

i have never jnteracted with LOTR and know very little about it

shouldni

should i

[cunning osprey]

do I get it

[lost vault]

u didnt

last update wassss 2024??

i think

meow

[ancient gyro]

scaredy cat

[mental tulip]

Yeah it was scary

[terse vale]

yea I know! it just gets boring doing the same pair run sometimes

[potent tree]

understandable

[lost vault]

better than photo maybe idk

[ancient gyro]

but you went back right

[lost vault]

oh perishavle

[mental tulip]

What after we left?

[lost vault]

nvFm

[mental tulip]

No

[potent tree]

grimbankh?

[mental tulip]

I made my dad and brother walk out of LOTR

[lavish gazelle]

Did you ever rewatch it

[ancient gyro]

no like finish the movie that you started long after

[lost vault]

i remember watching zombieland (a comedy) as a kid and being scared

[ancient gyro]

oh bruh

[mental tulip]

Yeah I’ve seen it many times

[terse vale]

uhhhhh immo

[lost vault]

huge ankh for grimbo angle

immobis cool too

[terse vale]

one poly green is enough

also cav chance

[bleak blaze]

You know what's better than one polychrome grimbo?

Two of them

[potent tree]

my thoughts exactly

now just gotta wait for a ramen

[mental tulip]

The hit movie Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring extended edition

[potent tree]

ok that's also valid

[lost vault]

what does this mean for the next balatro update

[bleak blaze]

CORRECT!!

[ancient gyro]

biohazard run

[mellow epoch]

Noo, I failed, even I got a negative bootstrap joker... based on what a noob I am I guess this seed was strong YYRN92BR

[mental tulip]

That it was delayed by approx 3 hours 38 mins

[lavish gazelle]

LOTR friends of jimbo surely

[sacred cloud]

if i get balatro on my pc or ipad, there wont be any way to bring my data over from my phone, at least not right now, right?

[bleak blaze]

LOTR themed joker would actually be sick hold on

Thunk would probably cook with that art

[mental tulip]

Chat you know my game better than me, are there many overt pop culture references in it

I can’t think of many..

[uneven grotto]

Man purple stake is kicking my ass

[sacred cloud]

dawg what is that tag

[uneven grotto]

I’m him, my gamer brother

[lost vault]

😭 📿

fair

[terse vale]

egg kinda looks like northernlion
idk I remember that

[mental tulip]

True, that’s a reference

Also ancient joker

[ancient gyro]

uhh what about alice in borderland

[uneven grotto]

I feel this game requires luck. Because purple stake without luck there’s no chance of winning

[mental tulip]

Who’s gonna tell them

[terse vale]

its not a pop culture reference but zodiac deck has chakra points

[ancient gyro]

not me

[sacred cloud]

it takes skill to get photochad first shop, trust me i know

[broken stirrup]

bro, i cant get past the green

[ancient gyro]

i put my finger on my nose

[terse vale]

wait no

are those planets

prolly

[mental tulip]

What?

[uneven grotto]

That one was a fun one

[uneven garnet]

Why did that remind me of Eggy from BFDI

[lavish gazelle]

Looks inside

[uneven garnet]

It's not like Thunk watches BFDI

[uneven grotto]

I don’t know man. I was stuck on red. Now I’m stuck on purple but purple is REALLY being a menace. I know it’s just a matter of time

[bleak blaze]

I did the method of "bashing my head against the wall until it worked" method

basically playing until SOMETHING manages to work

[sacred cloud]

i was stuck on blue for a super long time that i quit playing, then i started playing again last week and beat blue and purple in one try each. just take a break and come back itll help

[terse vale]

It reminded me of the chakra points but then I realized planets would make more sense cus it has constellations in the background

[mental tulip]

Yeah it’s just supposed to be evocative of celestial objects

And constellations

[serene forge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1qj4me3/bloodstone_and_this_game_is_gonna_make_me_go/

[uneven grotto]

I need your kind of luck on purple stake. I know the general idea to win a run. I’m not getting those pieces

[bleak blaze]

Also if you want to give yourself an easier time try yellow deck because it helps a lot with econ

[sacred cloud]

wow thats the opposite of my advice lmaoo

for each their own

[mental tulip]

Let me ruin zodiac deck for you

[torpid bridge]

You were stuck because starting from blue stake you have to play very differently from lower stakes

[mental tulip]

The pixel art for zodiac deck is one pixel wider than it is tall for all the circles

[bleak blaze]

Im not the most optimal player, I just play this game for fun and try to maybe help others who are struggling

[torpid bridge]

Because -1 discard

[mental tulip]

Because I didn’t measure properly

[ancient gyro]

playing a lot of terraria, I've gone through a concerningly large amount of coincidental balatro references

[forest birch]

I think I can live with this

[sacred cloud]

yeah that makes sense, i just found it interesting how after many months of not playing i easily beat both stakes

[terse vale]

I seeeee

[ancient gyro]

nebula feels lonely without solar, vortex, and stardust in colorful card game

[mental tulip]

Literally 1984

[sacred cloud]

neither am i, its just funny how you said to keep playing and I said to take a break at almost the same time lmao

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

[placid ridge]

of all the people who could respond first... hi. Good game btw.

[bleak blaze]

OH LMAO That also works

[torpid bridge]

Play scaling jokers, you need one +mult one or two xmult and chip jokers

[bleak blaze]

When I lose I don't get mad because that means I get to play more Balatro

[torpid bridge]

Play the small hands to be more consistent

[sacred cloud]

honestly orange stake had taken me the longest until i got a super good joker build

[torpid bridge]

Orange stake and gold stake is about survival ig

[ancient gyro]

consistency in a run

[bleak blaze]

The biggest thing is money management

[sacred cloud]

yeah for sure, im stuck on my first gold stake right now and its starting to feel more annoying than orange

[terse vale]

also I forgot who said parking wasn’t their cup of tea but check this outbro

[mental tulip]

Ok have fun gamers I’m gonna leave you

[placid ridge]

impressive

[bleak blaze]

That's the biggest learning curve I had to understand

[ancient gyro]

have a safe flight

[sacred cloud]

bye

[bleak blaze]

Bye thunk! thanks for talking with us

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[ancient gyro]

lmk if the novel is any good

[lavish gazelle]

See ya thunk

[pale wolf]

I would call hanging Chad that I think

[ancient gyro]

i want an american psycho joker

[pale wolf]

Business card for sure

definitely not a coincidence

🦓

[ancient gyro]

i want another one

[bleak blaze]

Wolf of Wall Street would qualify as well

[sacred cloud]

im using yelllow deck and getting hella money every blind, im just unlucky asf with rerolls 😭

[pale wolf]

also what do you call Madness

[bleak blaze]

A good joker

[pale wolf]

definitely feels like an American psycho reference to me, killing other Jokers

[ivory portal]

Do I get rid of this

[bleak blaze]

[ivory portal]

So I can get cavendish

[ancient gyro]

me this morning on zoom

and that

[pale wolf]

if you call it zoop instead then you will feel better when you use it

[terse vale]

ITSSO GOOD

[pale wolf]

I like the Green Day Joker

it takes unique advantage of held xmult

[hard mantle]

i am getting

genuinely dogshit luck

[ivory portal]

Negative brainstorm is cool

Negative kitty joker is cool too

[placid ridge]

good job

[hard mantle]

its not even with the shops tbh

its with the fucking hands

[placid ridge]

What did your lucky cat get to?

[mellow epoch]

People over the internet warned me about this game and told me not to buy it or I end up being an addicted balatro junkie. I begin to feel that they weren't kidding...

[placid ridge]

They were not. Welcome.

[bleak blaze]

Oh we aren't

It's too late already

[mellow epoch]

💀

[hard mantle]

it feels like the game sees the hand im trying to play and refuses to give me cards for it

[ancient gyro]

wait what

[hard mantle]

and its genuinely driving me mad

[primal dragon]

Thought this was supossed to be a challenge

[bleak blaze]

Into... Madness?

Ill go

[placid ridge]

Get on a zoop call.

[hard mantle]

GO TO HELL

[bleak blaze]

IM ALREADY HERE

[ivory portal]

Uhmmm

Only x2

[placid ridge]

ah okay

[placid ridge]

not bad

[ivory portal]

I've been trying to get lucky cards

But im really unlucky

Ig

[placid ridge]

yeah, it's hard to get it much higher without retriggers or Oops all 6s.

[uneven garnet]

W deck

[copper horizon]

Witch ante?

[ivory portal]

It's over

I just can't get a better joker

LOL

[ivory portal]

There it is

Only 9

[torpid bridge]

Did you see any chad in the shop?

[ivory portal]

Nope no chads at all

[terse vale]

ohh double foil

[copper horizon]

dont worry i have idk how lost with the perfect run for trib for the cards dosnt apear

[torpid bridge]

The run is not for cat ig

[ivory portal]

Yeahhh

I kept it cus it was negative

[torpid bridge]

Should have at least one retrigger to make the cat works

[ivory portal]

Even after deck manip ?

[bleak blaze]

Two foil scaling jokers? Broooo

[copper horizon]

lit in all the hands no king or queen

[torpid bridge]

I hate hologram

[ivory portal]

That joker on the right

Is my fav

Wow

[bleak blaze]

Hologram is insane

[copper horizon]

yep having like 8 kings and 6 quens lit what hell

[ivory portal]

It's better than the red joker

[placid ridge]

Slightly amusing that you aren't even mentioning the in the screenshot.

[ivory portal]

Damnnn

[torpid bridge]

I hate it cuz by playing it, i can only play pairs or high cards

[bleak blaze]

Marble Joker and Certificate with Hologram is diablocal

[torpid bridge]

Why would I? Its clearly in my name

[copper horizon]

jimbo want to laught at me

[placid ridge]

It would be a bit redundant, yeah.

[copper horizon]

w jimbo

[ivory portal]

I still wanna get to r

e

I don't remember how I got this

But I always get decent scores playing high card

Maybe I do need to watch tutorials

😭😭

Nvm this was a pair

[copper horizon]

my bestrun was 3 baron an 2 mimics idk how but i get it and only red steel kings

[sacred cloud]

what score was it

[ivory portal]

I can't use baron

[torpid bridge]

That build is just not a long run build after ante 8

[ivory portal]

And mimics

Too much set up

I still don't knowhow to do that without a DNA

[torpid bridge]

I once had such a big fat cat

[copper horizon]

i dont remember i play it in the phone of my granmother because i didint have batery for play balatro on my phone and i was in travell so

[ivory portal]

Yeah but this is what I can manage

[torpid bridge]

That the cat alone scores me 300m

😂

[ivory portal]

Damnnn

[torpid bridge]

But so set up such cat

I needed alot of retriggers

[sacred cloud]

yeah i think i got my highest score on an airplane lmao

balatro is a great travel game

[torpid bridge]

Not less effort than a baron build

[hard mantle]

sigh

[ivory portal]

I'm about to have a short 3 he flight

I'm gonna play balatro all the way 😭

[hard mantle]

alright well. green joker is just gonna be a dead weight then

[copper horizon]

its posible with no perkeo or dna

[ivory portal]

If I get perkeo

I need to uhm

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[copper horizon]

yep i play balatro at class an i can pay attencion

[rich mauve]

what is this combination lmao

[ivory portal]

Keep a card that switches right

How does it work

[wary zodiac]

i love obelisk

[torpid bridge]

The only jokers you need is actually blue print and brainstorm

[copper horizon]

its just prefer the tarot carts

[sacred cloud]

lock in bro 😭

[copper horizon]

the tarot it op

[torpid bridge]

Having dna is good

[wary zodiac]

im playing balatro in class rn 😭

[ivory portal]

I love dna

[bleak blaze]

Might be the most goated set up of all time

[hard mantle]

its called "my luck is shit and im taking whatever i can get"

[torpid bridge]

But you can still have the other way around

[ivory portal]

DNA is my fav

[copper horizon]

i cant balatro is my life

[torpid bridge]

Same

[ivory portal]

Omg

[pale wolf]

yum

[ivory portal]

Looks like hell to play

[torpid bridge]

Extremely good for deck fixing

[copper horizon]

i get 68h just playing in clas and get like 2 in gold dificulty

[torpid bridge]

Obelisk is fun

[ivory portal]

DNA plus blueprint

How else do I use baron

[copper horizon]

i dont relly like the mecanic

[ivory portal]

If not DNA and blueprint

I don't get how perkeo will help

[hard mantle]

im restarting, and if this run doesnt go well i give up for today

my luck has been utter ass

[ivory portal]

Which tarot do I keep

So that I can dupe kings

[bleak blaze]

Death

Fool

[ivory portal]

Alright let me check

[copper horizon]

best combo photograf and thepapel perphored (idk how to say it in english)

[sacred cloud]

perkeo can dupe cryptid right

[bleak blaze]

Look up a tutorial, advice from this chat usually isn't the best

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[copper horizon]

chicot god

[torpid bridge]

If you stack around 70 cryptid

Or 60

[copper horizon]

no cry

[ivory portal]

But for death

[torpid bridge]

And play baron

[ivory portal]

I'll need a big hand

[torpid bridge]

You will get naneif

[ivory portal]

Alright will do

[sacred cloud]

chicot is pointless if you get directors cut

[ivory portal]

Photograph

[torpid bridge]

Dont you know there is a bug with chicot?

[sacred cloud]

oh rly

[torpid bridge]

Chicot reverses the effect of the boss that minus your hand size

Which means it adds the handsize

[copper horizon]

depends if u have good economy and 2 chicots and the -1 hand size its +1 hand size

[copper horizon]

exact

[sacred cloud]

oh yeah ive heard of that

[copper horizon]

srry im spanish 🥺

[sacred cloud]

i barely get any souls tho so i tend to dislike chicot

[bleak blaze]

Chicot haters when it disables the plant on their Photchad run

[torpid bridge]

Chicot is just underwhelming compared to other legendary

[copper horizon]

i dont dislike it its better than nothing

[torpid bridge]

But i still think its worth

[copper horizon]

chicot god

[copper horizon]

exact

the worst its canio because it just have ONE posible combo

[sacred cloud]

idk i would genuinely rather sell chicot for money if i had directors cut

[terse vale]

this is a bad argument don’t use it

[heady narwhal]

photochad players when they get their run killed by the plant for no reason

[torpid bridge]

Canio dont need combo?

Just get hanged man

[bleak blaze]

This could've been prevented

[copper horizon]

Its relly need combo for be good

[pale wolf]

lmfao

[torpid bridge]

It doesnt

[copper horizon]

thets a combo man lol

[copper horizon]

yep

[torpid bridge]

More like synergies

[serene forge]

canio's best combo is money (something you should always have)

[pale wolf]

terrible argument

[bleak blaze]

Canio and Trading Card = Infinite XMult

[copper horizon]

true

[torpid bridge]

This is a combo

[copper horizon]

nop nop

u need parebolia

[torpid bridge]

But that doesnt mean canio is only good with it

[bleak blaze]

Or buy face cards from the standard packs

[serene forge]

this is like saying the best combo for baron is pluto

[serene forge]

no you don't

unless maybe on abandoned

[ivory portal]

LOL

[calm furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvolfavtadQ if i had this run i would retire from 1.1

[copper horizon]

tell me when u woold wana take out face cards for canio one u can get photograph and beeing

[bleak blaze]

Me loading up Abandoned deck to run into 36 Barons over the course of 5 runs

[placid ridge]

I'm sure this looks like a good start to y'all but I've never properly used 😳

[serene forge]

evil and intimidating the psychic

[heady narwhal]

the best combo for red card is the skip button

[torpid bridge]

Yes, but hanged man is not a combo with canio

[serene forge]

photograph sucks

[torpid bridge]

Its canio gameplay

Not combo

[copper horizon]

man dont play balatro

[heady narwhal]

beeing

[copper horizon]

sorry im dumb i was thinking it was traiding card i dont remember very good the name of the cards srry

[terse vale]

bro

[serene forge]

this is definitely a troll their name is sigma boy

[terse vale]

I was thinking that

[copper horizon]

nono relly

i dont troll

xd

[uneven garnet]

That one "The more the merrier" image

[heady narwhal]

scoring facecard jokers are generally very bad aside from maybe stm and htr. in any case it's not good to keep facecards just because you might get one of the few good synergies

[bleak blaze]

The more Gold Stake I play the less Photochad I use

[pale wolf]

probably a personal choice

[copper horizon]

the thing is the synergy and for be common its to good

[ivory portal]

YOOO DOUBLE YORICK

[heady narwhal]

could you elaborate

[copper horizon]

lol can be gg

[pale wolf]

actually I suppose as you get better you get more likely to win On runs that don't have photo chad

[ivory portal]

Yeah I can't mess this up

[heady narwhal]

runner!!!!!! !!!!!!!!wait i guess stuntman is good enoguh

[copper horizon]

wait i will use the translator beter for u understand me better

[serene forge]

I can't remember the last time i actually picked up a photograph on gold stake

[ivory portal]

Nvm

I didn't get it

MANNNN

[copper horizon]

The thing is, because it's a COMMON wildcard and its combos are good, it gives you quite a lot of power, even though it depends on triggers, but because it's common, it's pretty good.

[torpid bridge]

You are just less commited to doing it

[copper horizon]

its like a les power full trib

[serene forge]

photo synergizes with one joker

[pale wolf]

the worst legendary for a reason

[serene forge]

picking up naked photo is how you lose

[torpid bridge]

Naked photo is + mult

🤓

[copper horizon]

nop its not bad its relly powefull more than canio yorik and chicot

[placid ridge]

I would try to get to a point where I have a bit of money, sell everything so that invis can only hit yorick, then buy stuff again after. Maybe keep stuntman since 2 stuntmen would be kinda okay, and/or hard to win without.

[heady narwhal]

if you're referring to photograoh here, in my opinion most common jokers are way more versatile than photo & less reliant on synergies. red card can be used in pretty much every run, value generators like hallucination & rebate as well. also most boss blinds hate card-trigger-based scoring so it's not a very reliable build type

[bleak blaze]

They hated him because he told the truth

[pale wolf]

keep in mind that the game ends at ante 8

[placid ridge]

with invis, you can and should be strategic. You don't need to use it right away.

[primal dragon]

Muehehe

[serene forge]

not only is photo bad because it's weak onscored xmult that only works with one joker, it's for that very reason that makes it extra shit, it doesn't synergize with any actual good jokers like flat mult, you absolutely require planets to do anything with it

[copper horizon]

yep i know

[pale wolf]

endless mode is bonus stuff, that doesn't contribute to how good a joker is

[placid ridge]

are all your other cards jacks or something? lol

[pale wolf]

unless you're specifically talking about that context ig

[primal dragon]

Yeah i had like 10 jacks so hit the road didnt do anything

[placid ridge]

... wdym "didn't do anything"? 🤔

[copper horizon]

but still in early beeing beter than that 3

[pale wolf]

no lol

It's frankly not even close

[copper horizon]

another thing is like idol where sucks

[primal dragon]

I couldnt discard them cause they were useful for my most played hand 3 of a kind

[willow frost]

ok it kinda worked

[placid ridge]

ah... lol

[willow frost]

not really but ah well

[primal dragon]

These challenge decks are lowk easier than regular decks with these conditions

[robust lance]

See if you had more jacks this wouldn’t be an issue (troll face)

[copper horizon]

its rellye good at early

[pale wolf]

non ot not is NTO godd

[ivory portal]

Aw man

I should've done that

Shit

[placid ridge]

how much mult is erosion (like, in collection, obviously you don't have it)? I assume you're not playing abandoned deck but I don't know for sure.

[ivory portal]

My yorick is at 7 too

🥲🥲🥲

[placid ridge]

That's alright. You'll have something to be excited for next time you have a run where you see invis and have some great joker.

[ivory portal]

That's true

Thank you for teaching me that

I think I'll get constellation as well

[loud rapids]

who is balaing up they tro

[willow frost]

OH MY GOD OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS

its been like 8 months since i last saw perkeo

[loud rapids]

it’s wario

[fleet anchor]

Uhh

[placid ridge]

When I play gold stakes, Soul is guaranteed to give me Perkeo 😃

[willow frost]

good for you lol

perkeo is kinda underrated for gold stake

[fleet anchor]

Not the worst legendary

[willow frost]

oh rip

[terse vale]

I still think its bait

[fleet anchor]

I used a double tag for spectral and thats the 2nd one

[willow frost]

its crazy how i just did bean bug because i likely wasnt getting perkeo and then got perkeo immediately after my second bean bug lol

[fleet anchor]

I haven't heard of the bean bug

[placid ridge]

I get where they're coming from. They see a synergy that frequently wins in one hand and assume that means it's fundamentally good.

[mortal nimbus]

reloading your run when Crimson Heart disables Turtle Bean gives a permanent handsize increase determined by the value currently on Turtle Bean

[placid ridge]

Chasing naneinf?

[willow frost]

ante 39

[copper horizon]

i swer relly im not

[placid ridge]

ah okay

[placid ridge]

tranqui

[copper horizon]

alguien que sabe español

[fleet anchor]

Op af

[mortal nimbus]

yes, if you can get it without dying.

[hidden lance]

i love hit the road so much

[willow frost]

i need to be careful with this run because naneinf did bad things to my run last time i got it, hope it doesnt happen again here (assuming i get there and dont throw beforehand)

[bleak blaze]

I like it, I just never have enough jacks for it

[hidden lance]

i just did a run where i got it pretty early and was able to get it to like 4-5x every blind by ante 8

[willow frost]

in my experience it still works even with 2-3 more jacks than normal, but yeah stm syndrome is real

[mortal nimbus]

it's less about how many jacks you have total, but rather how much you can actually draw them

I've done a gold stake run with 5 jacks in my deck for htr

[fresh ember]

whats the new update?

[mortal nimbus]

that was on abandoned deck so drawing them was much easier

[placid ridge]

Do you have a mod to prevent naneinf crashes?

[willow frost]

ah damn

[mortal nimbus]

we don't know the specifics yet

[willow frost]

nope no mods

[hidden lance]

yeah i ended up cutting my deck to 30ish cards and had some strengths and deaths

[fresh ember]

oh ok thanks

[placid ridge]

I've heard that naneinf causes a crash, so you may need to stay just under for the whole run

[willow frost]

my theory is once i get naneinf i just have to not exit the run until i die at ante 39, if that doesnt work ill take my l

[willow frost]

oh ok ill try

[mortal nimbus]

reloading your saved run after hitting naneinf will result in a crash consistently

[placid ridge]

hmm, gotcha

[hidden lance]

one thing about hit the road is that you end up fixing it towards a good rebate too

[placid ridge]

I see

[willow frost]

yeah this is what i did

[mortal nimbus]

so as long as you don't reload the run after hitting it, you'll be fine

[willow frost]

ill try not to hit it at all just in case though

[placid ridge]

ideal joker

[fresh ember]

love it

[ivory portal]

Decent

[willow frost]

ok just realised i need a copying joker very very soon or im dead

[dusty void]

Hear me out

A joker

That lets you select 6 cards

[sullen island]

am I actually that crazy

[dusty void]

What if you get trib...

[sullen island]

I passed on it

[dusty void]

Damn 😔

Fair enough it doesn't work

[calm furnace]

whats the bean bug

[dusty void]

I got a spectral pack soul today which was cool

[dusty void]

Idk exactly but I'm pretty sure you get unlimited hand size or something

[calm furnace]

if crimson lands on bean right?

[dusty void]

Uhhh

Yeah I believe so

[calm furnace]

dang had a run today with bean against crimson but it didnt land on it

[dusty void]

Unlucky

Lowkey trying to figure out when to skip

Because I sold a potential naninf run earlier today since I couldn't find antimatter

[vocal rose]

if you’re going for naneinf

[dusty void]

But what I've learned so far is to not skip unless you instantly feel the difference

[vocal rose]

you don’t skip at all

except for if you need a boss reroll

or voucher tag

[dusty void]

Yea that's why

But I didn't know that because I'm uhh

[vocal rose]

so were you just skipping randomly

[dusty void]

No

[primal dragon]

Dude challenge decks are actually so easy

[dusty void]

Just not skipping at all and rerolling like an idiot

[primal dragon]

I think im the only person here that disabled the crt effect

[wicked sequoia]

A lot of the challenges are just fun runs yeah

other challenges are diabolical

[primal dragon]

True

[dusty void]

Jokerless black deck

[primal dragon]

15 minute city was kinda hard

[dusty void]

😨

[wicked sequoia]

go wash your mouth with soap please

[dusty void]

😋🤤

[wicked sequoia]

🧼

[vocal rose]

it’s been done

[dusty void]

Ik

[vocal rose]

and on white stake it could be done a little easily

[dusty void]

By the goat

[vocal rose]

but it’s also been done on gold stake

[primal dragon]

Is there even a way of getting legendaries more frequently

[dusty void]

By the goat

[dusty void]

No

Same chance each time

[primal dragon]

I’ve only gotten leguendaries like 7 times in like 2k runs

[vocal rose]

in the way of increasing odds? no

[primal dragon]

Like

A strat

[dusty void]

It's a 0.3%

[primal dragon]

Or just spam tarots

[wicked sequoia]

my stats are looking very uhh gold stake minded on my 2nd profile

[vocal rose]

but you just want to open up every arcana and special

[dusty void]

Yea

[vocal rose]

when you have the econ to do so

[primal dragon]

Damn

[vocal rose]

beautiful

[dusty void]

Idk my stats rn

Let me check

[primal dragon]

Show your stats i wanna see how im doing

[wicked sequoia]

profile 2

[primal dragon]

Gawd damn

[wicked sequoia]

profile 1

naneinf score gets deleted sadly

[primal dragon]

24k??

[wicked sequoia]

money:)

[vocal rose]

happens when you go naneinf

[primal dragon]

Most ive seen is 8k

[primal dragon]

Yeah

[wicked sequoia]

I'm never going for naneinf again

[primal dragon]

Naneinf deletes high score or sum like that

[dusty void]

They're so boring 😭😭

[zinc zephyr]

He didn't go naneinf tho

[wicked sequoia]

shit takes way too long

I did

[vocal rose]

he did

[zinc zephyr]

oh nvm

[vocal rose]

wdym

[wicked sequoia]

doesnt get saved cuz its not a number

I think?

[willow frost]

gg, we'll try again some other time

[dusty void]

2 hours changes a man.

[zinc zephyr]

I fucking forgot it deletes stats

sorry

[vocal rose]

it’s why endless is boring asf

[dusty void]

??

[willow frost]

really wish i hadnt sold everything but the baron lol

[vocal rose]

and just means nothing to me

[primal dragon]

Photochad carries every run istg

[dusty void]

They're not debuffed

[willow frost]

i wont score enough

[vocal rose]

not scoring enough

[dusty void]

Oh yea

Just noticed no blueprint

[zinc zephyr]

Why is your handsize so big 😭

[primal dragon]

I dont really have many joker stats cause i skip every single blind i can

[vocal rose]

endless pilled

[vocal rose]

why

[primal dragon]

I just beat 2 runs in a row in 10 rounds

[willow frost]

crimson heart bean bug lol

[dusty void]

Right...
But I like other stuff

[zinc zephyr]

How many bugs are in the game

[primal dragon]

I aint playing allat

[dusty void]

Shhhhhhh

[zinc zephyr]

I legit don't know any

[primal dragon]

A looot

[willow frost]

0

[vocal rose]

how many is a lot?

[dusty void]

None that hurt

Other than the ankh bug

[primal dragon]

Data erasing lot

[vocal rose]

like?

[zinc zephyr]

Like this is the only "bug" I ever encountered

And it's just visual

[primal dragon]

Beating a run and not saving the win

[modern panther]

MY GOD THIS TO DO LIST TWO PAIR, HC AND NOW PAIR

[dusty void]

Evil wee joker

[cosmic sun]

And so the GOAT Mr Bones continues my gold streak

[primal dragon]

It doesnt count wins sometimes

[native cape]

tough starting shop, idk what to do D;

[vocal rose]

okay but you said a lot

that’s one bug

[dusty void]

W Bone

[vocal rose]

open up buffoon

or spectral

[zinc zephyr]

photograph hex

[dusty void]

Take the buffoon

[lofty geyser]

This is me. I'm still a beginner

[vocal rose]

hell no

[zinc zephyr]

hanging chad next shop

[vocal rose]

true

[dusty void]

😔

[vocal rose]

terrible way to play

[primal dragon]

Booster pack restart in tags

And it just kills your run

[lofty geyser]

Wrong

[dusty void]

My most money was like 400

😭

[zinc zephyr]

Okay baron mime pilled

[dusty void]

And my highest card is e66

[cosmic sun]

Opposite

[vocal rose]

baron mime is ass for winning games

[primal dragon]

Photochad hex

[vocal rose]

😭

what are you talking about

[zinc zephyr]

Isn't photochad literally the best for winning tho 😭

[native cape]

i opened buffon, got poo card so sold it and made poly photo

[primal dragon]

I can never pull off a mime baron build

[lofty geyser]

I found out a long time ago that the best way to play balatro is not to optimize for score but to optimize for dopamine. So I'll have an entire deck of lucky cards, two hanging chads, an oops all sixes and a lucky cat

[primal dragon]

My luck is horrible

[dusty void]

Sockoulet is so fun

[vocal rose]

photo CHAD

[primal dragon]

Maybe its cause i onlu play gold stakes

[zinc zephyr]

@vocal rose I win!

[vocal rose]

do they have hanging chad

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah hanging chad is next shop bro

[fresh ember]

did anything get added to the game this update

[vocal rose]

and this is what I mean lmfao

[dusty void]

There was an update?

[vocal rose]

it’s okay since he’s on the lower stakes but

[vocal rose]

no

[fresh ember]

yeah Check steam

[primal dragon]

If i dont get photochad first 3 antes the run is trash

[dusty void]

Not again 😨

[vocal rose]

speculatively looking for jokers to make that joker work is a bad way to win

[cosmic sun]

balatro players not understanding photochad isnt the only way to win gold stake moment number 5000000

[dusty void]

Always take speculative 6

[fresh ember]

k ty

[vocal rose]

😬

[zinc zephyr]

Perkeo ante 2 btw

[vocal rose]

that’s different since dice actually has usage

[fresh ember]

how does 2 check steams in a week feel like

[dusty void]

Always take speculate sly joker :>

[vocal rose]

but photograph, bloodstone, baron are just shitty grabs

[brittle temple]

mmm

[dusty void]

Steamy

[vocal rose]

photograph is fine too a little

since it’s an acceptable early game flush joker

[dusty void]

I sure wonder what to sell

[wary zodiac]

why?

[zinc zephyr]

That explains the omori pfp

[fresh ember]

3 actually even though it isnt steam jjs did get updated aswell

[wary zodiac]

i think its a really fun joker to get lategame

[dusty void]

Whatttt

[native cape]

guys

[dusty void]

Rude

[native cape]

great sucess

[lofty geyser]

Also anaglyph is the best deck because landing on a negative tag makes me nut

[harsh relic]

goated joker

[zinc zephyr]

I'm sorry please don't immolate me

[dusty void]

Relax

[zinc zephyr]

BAH, I WIN

[vocal rose]

chad AND square?

W pack

[dusty void]

Worse
I'll use lovers on you

[vocal rose]

oh

[fresh ember]

you remind me of my past your fpf to be precise

[cloud sinew]

now im debuffed against 3 more bosses 😭

[zinc zephyr]

It's over, stone me already

[copper horizon]

idk its not my type idk if u understand

[native cape]

is square jokeer good?

[brittle temple]

ehh rip my +300$ a round rebate i dont need it anymore

[dusty void]

I'll bloodstone you
Without the 6s.

[cosmic sun]

hey photochad players what do you see

[vocal rose]

one of the best chip scaling jokers

[zinc zephyr]

Only if you have like e70 as your best tho

[cosmic sun]

litmus test

[vocal rose]

GOATED joker

[primal dragon]

I miss when my bloodstones would hit it almost always

[zinc zephyr]

because it's like super hard to get used to 💔

[dusty void]

I see a green joker you're not taking??

[vocal rose]

no?

[native cape]

ah ive never used it before

[lofty geyser]

Seriously skipping a negative tag blind with 3,642 double tags stockpiled I feel like Wheatley when you solve his first test. I don't even care about the million useless negative jokers

[vocal rose]

you play four cards

[cosmic sun]

wdym not taking

[vocal rose]

that’s literally

the easiest condition ever

[zinc zephyr]

Let me ask

Do you use

[cosmic sun]

FALSE information

[zinc zephyr]

OBELISK

as a joker

like fr

[vocal rose]

yes

[primal dragon]

I did a flush with hearts and seltzer or however you call it and didnt hit it ONCE

[vocal rose]

I do

[dusty void]

It's S tier

[vocal rose]

oh god it’s obelisk square joker debate #84683837377

[dusty void]

??

[lofty geyser]

Obelisk is the absolute worst

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah okay do not compare yourself with us people 💔

[primal dragon]

Two pair sucks

[cosmic sun]

no

[zinc zephyr]

We are ASS at the game

we cannot use ts

[brittle temple]

i see a photo and hanging chad duo in the next reroll

[vocal rose]

let them live

[cosmic sun]

why are you speaking french

[vocal rose]

we must let them learn

[dusty void]

You just have one winning hand

[bitter rivet]

Umm

[zinc zephyr]

Like I tried I SWEAR

[dusty void]

Spam high cards

[vocal rose]

they’ll come around

[vocal rose]

hit next round

[fresh ember]

what does your name mean("Sen")bcuz it means the word "you" in turkish

[dusty void]

And play that winning hand

[vocal rose]

nooooooooo

spam pairs

and then you can use anything else

[dusty void]

1000 in Japanese
Also old Roblox user

[zinc zephyr]

I tried by absolute BEST to scale square joker on PLASMA deck this is what I got

[bitter rivet]

But I want cryptid

[dusty void]

"Don't touch grass, go outside!"

[lofty geyser]

There are only two good hands, flush and high card, and flush only exists until you can make the handoff to high card and by that point your entire deck should be retriggerable steel kings

[vocal rose]

:(

[zinc zephyr]

from ante 1 btw (the screenshot is ante 8)

[cosmic sun]

no

[brittle temple]

god i need negatives

[vocal rose]

this is good

but here’s the thing

[zinc zephyr]

But it doesn't feel good

It's like

[dusty void]

Voucher tag time

[zinc zephyr]

barely wee joker

[vocal rose]

plasma isn’t a very good testing ground

[fresh ember]

better then Trg_oodif(just a joke) tbh but cool!

[vocal rose]

because

[brittle temple]

you just oneshot

[vocal rose]

only one chip joker can scale enough to actually match the blind requirements

[brittle temple]

you need to use all your hands if you want square

[fresh ember]

stop cheating

[dusty void]

No I hate it too I just don't have the robux 😔

[zinc zephyr]

wee

[vocal rose]

unfair to compare those two

[vocal rose]

yep

[zinc zephyr]

I know I know but like

even castle is better

[vocal rose]

and that ISNT a bad thing against square

[vocal rose]

ehhhh

[dusty void]

WOAHHH

[vocal rose]

I can see that

[bitter rivet]

I’m not this is vanilla, I exited the app in school and came back to that

[fresh ember]

"oh man i did not want this let me go back to the main menu"

[vocal rose]

it’s okay if you see them interchangeable

[fresh ember]

thats when THAT happens dont get me wrong i dont wanna be rude

[vocal rose]

I think square is better 100% but

[dusty void]

Better than wee?

[zinc zephyr]

Like I genuinely see the potentional for obelisk (because it's xmult obv) but like square joker is so SLOW

[dusty void]

I can see that

[fresh ember]

mine aint any better

[vocal rose]

castle is good enough to be compared

[vocal rose]

?

[dusty void]

Ehh castle's fine

[vocal rose]

wee is the best chip scaling joker

and it’s

not close

[dusty void]

I was gonna say

If you have a hack build it slams

[vocal rose]

if you have a build it slams*

[zinc zephyr]

Also fight me "oooh don't take blank voucher if you're going for ante 8!!" people

[dusty void]

If you have 2s

[dusty void]

I always take blank

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah!!

[lofty geyser]

This is how I play

[dusty void]

Why WOULDN'T you take blank ever

[zinc zephyr]

"It's a waste of money" some say

[dusty void]

Fun

[dusty void]

If you have good econ it's not a concern

[lofty geyser]

Observatory pluto retriggerable king and then duplicating dna to get more cards in hand

[cosmic sun]

cause you have to drop 10 dollars for a potential antimatter

to which joker slots dont dictate wins

[lofty geyser]

I don't take blank if I'm poor at the time :3

[glad sequoia]

Freaking love abandoned deck

[dusty void]

Tell that to paint deck

[dusty void]

Get rid of the golden

[full vortex]

i simply got too greedy

[dusty void]

Duh

[cosmic sun]

to which joker slots dont dictate wins 2

[zinc zephyr]

OH right runner

[full vortex]

i like your mari pfp

[cosmic sun]

bro said golden and not even steven

[dusty void]

They do

[zinc zephyr]

@vocal rose you cannot say square joker is better than runner when they're the same rarity

[dusty void]

Thanks
I like your trailer pfp

[lofty geyser]

Oops all sixes is unironically the best joker because it turns lucky cards into little heroin hits

[cosmic sun]

how do you think I got c++

[dusty void]

Rarity doesn't matter

[vocal rose]

all builds have 2s

[zinc zephyr]

price tho....

[placid ridge]

My only scoring joker right now... I have decent money, but I guess the shop could magically screw me over somehow.

[zinc zephyr]

So many OMORI fans HANGING out

[glad sequoia]

He's definitely putting in work with that cat. Got him up to 10.5x

[vocal rose]

I can say runner is better than square

because it is

[lofty geyser]

U gon die

[vocal rose]

rarity doesn’t matter

[dusty void]

Acting like every deck was equally difficult

[full vortex]

can you get a negative in the shop without a tag?

[zinc zephyr]

Oh nvm we're chill then sorry

[dusty void]

Square is easier to scale

[placid ridge]

we all will eventually 🙂

[dusty void]

Yes

[cosmic sun]

no because you can win with less than 3 scoring jokers

[vocal rose]

yes

theyre very equal tbh

[dusty void]

It's a natural negative but super rare

[dusty void]

You can
But it's harder to

[lofty geyser]

Pumping lucky cat up to like x25 when it isn't even enough mult gain to survive is what I live for. I don't even wanna make it I just want to see lucky cards firing

[dusty void]

The money hits 🤤

[vocal rose]

you can get one straight per round typically but you can also scale square every hand

[full vortex]

makes sense, negative is pretty op

[lofty geyser]

THE MONEY HITS

[zinc zephyr]

Same run btw (don't question the build)

[vocal rose]

mult and x mult

[glad sequoia]

Ooooh, the money shots

[vocal rose]

that’s all you need if you have planets

[dusty void]

Yep

[vocal rose]

but it’s risky

[dusty void]

WHY TF WOULD YOU TAKE A PERM SPLASH

[vocal rose]

eternal splash

[dusty void]

DUDE

[zinc zephyr]

IT HAD FOIL ON A PLASMA DECK

[lofty geyser]

Unfortunately a worthless clear joker because it would turn into splash 100%

[dusty void]

SO????

[zinc zephyr]

+25 mult and chips tho...

[lofty geyser]

Yeah no pal you can't defend this

[dusty void]

Just use bonus cards 💔

Come on man we can do better

[zinc zephyr]

I did!!!

[native cape]

TK7EVRQ2 i died on ante 5, heres seed if ya wanted

[dusty void]

SO WHY WOULD YOU NEED IT

[zinc zephyr]

It's still +50 chips

what if I got violet vessel??

[lofty geyser]

Just have bull and a million dollars lol

[vocal rose]

hi guys stick around for 10 minutes i’ll post my gs a8 tierlist

for interactions

[dusty void]

I'm so sick of Minecraft ARGs man

[lofty geyser]

I need to make a joker tierlist lol

[cosmic sun]

no

spare us

[harsh relic]

they prob couldn't

[zinc zephyr]

gold stake btw

Never question my builds

there's always synergy

[dusty void]

It works

Ngl

How many ectos did you use

[zinc zephyr]

burglar and seltzer 💔

[zinc zephyr]

ecto?

[vocal rose]

haha i’ll be posting mine soon

[dusty void]

Ectoplasm

[potent tree]

jimbo was just along for the ride in the end

[dusty void]

The spectral card

[zinc zephyr]

Never heard of it

[dusty void]

The one that makes a joker negative

[zinc zephyr]

ohhhh

yeah no I took skip tags

[dusty void]

Oh

[brave goblet]

An actual balanced run (i accidentally rolled past a photochad)

[slow epoch]

WHYYYYYYY

[zinc zephyr]

You do see the synergy right

castle and burlgar

[dusty void]

Bull just there for vibes

[dusty void]

Yea

[lofty geyser]

Holy CRT curve batman

[dusty void]

That's a bulge

[brave goblet]

I actually kinda needed it cause it was my only source of scaling anything other than mercury

[lofty geyser]

Unironically I want to make a real Balatro cabinet

With a track ball and a big red button

[dusty void]

Fair

To think
I had the worst day of my life playing purple stake 2 days ago

15 runs.

0 past ante 5.

Genuinely wanted to kill someone

[lofty geyser]

I only play gold stake and it makes me want to die

[dusty void]

[dusty void]

Gold stake is easier than blue change my mind

[brave goblet]

I had a pretty easy time with blue lol

[dusty void]

Idk I just find it harder

[lofty geyser]

I'm just tired of getting STIMKY JOKERS

[dusty void]

Or maybe I just suck with ghost deck

[brave goblet]

I just restart until I get a good start

[dusty void]

No game I don't want your fucking gluttonous joker!

[dusty void]

I do that too

[brave goblet]

I mean if you got nothing goin on, just take the gluttonous

[dusty void]

No the problem is I do

Then nothing else good comes

[brave goblet]

no money?

[dusty void]

Like literally I keep capping at 50k

[brave goblet]

no money, no scaling it seems

[dusty void]

No I have econ and stay above interest

[lofty geyser]

By far for me the absolute worst jokers are ones that depend on straights

[dusty void]

Gen

[cosmic sun]

4 streak

[latent egret]

superposition is kinda bad by itself

[brave goblet]

negative ramen

[latent egret]

but the rest of the straight jokers are insane

[lofty geyser]

I play straights all the time either opportunisitically or to make superposition fire early game but holy hell trying to do a straight build it's a death sentence

[cosmic sun]

was lowkey the goat

[brave goblet]

wym, it's great for blocking your second blue seal

[native cape]

good potential for ante 4

[brave goblet]

death on ante 7 against the plant

[lofty geyser]

If you're on ante 5 and still have superposition something has gone wrong lol

[zealous zinc]

does anyone know arlo

the nintendo ytber

[cosmic sun]

its either learn how to straight fix or play pairs

its a dog eat dog world

[zealous zinc]

hes playing balatro live for the first time 🤯

[lofty geyser]

I rigged my deck for high straights and still die

[latent egret]

it can work

[cosmic sun]

so the wrong way

[brave goblet]

someone doesn't have glass cards

[latent egret]

but without 4f/shortcut i am not playing straights for score on gs

runner is insane

[cosmic sun]

probably 5% of my gs wins are straights

[serene forge]

high straights are bad

[zealous zinc]

dont rig it for high straights

[latent egret]

so ill play strights to scale him but that's basically it
