[uneven grotto]

I’m on purple stake right now. Haven’t seen those

[plucky shuttle]

Investment tag is considered the only worthy 1st ante skip. I like doing the coupon tag for fun

[lost vault]

thats abt it

[plucky shuttle]

The one that makes every purchase $0

[uneven grotto]

That’s coupon tag?

[wicked sequoia]

Gotta love the synergy

[uneven grotto]

And this applies to all difficulty? Only investment and coupon you take, nothing else

[naive heath]

gang i finally won orange stake

[wicked sequoia]

depends on the run

[uneven grotto]

At least for early game

[wicked sequoia]

but a good basis yeah

[uneven grotto]

Gotcha, okay

[lost vault]

jot very good

ucz of rentals and perishavles

;(

[uneven grotto]

Sheesh I ain’t ever seen that right card before

[wicked sequoia]

Legendary fella

he's pretty good

was at x11 there

[uneven grotto]

I ain’t see a legendary yet either. I feel like purple stake is gonna be the hardest difficulty curve for me. More odds than difficulty honestly

[rugged bloom]

first buffoon pack

[lament hornet]

Just got trib if I lose this run I quit Balatro forever

[wicked sequoia]

Blue stake is the worst jump in difficulty

[uneven grotto]

Blue is worst??? Isn’t that after purple?

[wicked sequoia]

-1 discard

it sucks ass

[uneven grotto]

I’m at 3 discards red deck. Blue you have 2 discards red deck?

[wicked sequoia]

ya

[uneven grotto]

Wtf lol. Jesus

[uneven grotto]

Any pros for blue though?

[wicked sequoia]

uhh

it hurts more?

not really no

[uneven grotto]

No rentals?

[wicked sequoia]

the best thing about blue deck is the fact that it's getting reworked

[lost vault]

ignored a trance 💔

[uneven grotto]

That’s crazy. And here I thought 3 discards is already bad

[lost vault]

blue stake is getting reworked not blue deck

[wicked sequoia]

I usually restart if nothing interesting is in the first jonkler

[wicked sequoia]

blue stake yes

misinput 🙏

[calm furnace]

FKC THE ARM

[wicked sequoia]

workweek was too long

[calm furnace]

worst boss in the game

[nova elk]

what does overstock mean?

[uneven grotto]

Man if only I didn’t get a large 1 million ante 8 boss blind, I would’ve won purple stake

[wicked sequoia]

one of the best vouchers

[uneven grotto]

Welp. Let’s see how I do on this run then

[wicked sequoia]

you got this

[uneven grotto]

Also I saw on a guide it’s best to unlock as many things as possible on base difficulty? Should I do that? Or just run it on purple stake

[pale wolf]

??

[wicked sequoia]

.

[pale wolf]

oh chat loaded

[calm furnace]

game is pointless without the arm rework

[uneven grotto]

I only discovered 106 jokers and I’m at purple stake

[calm furnace]

kill that boss

[pale wolf]

arm is annoying but its fine

[calm furnace]

arm and ox my most hated non ante 8 bosses

[uneven grotto]

What does the arm do?

[calm furnace]

reduce the hand level that you play

i had a madness shortcut run killed by arm

[uneven grotto]

That one sucks. I also hate the one where you need to play a different hand each turn

I lost that way before

[shut pond]

Hmmm, brainstorm is looking real good rn, but idk what to do

[calm furnace]

yeah the eye that one sucks too

[calm furnace]

supernova is doing nothing here

[uneven grotto]

I had level 20 pair and lost because it wanted different hand play

[shut pond]

It adds 25 mult tho

[calm furnace]

yeah my playatyle is heavy on hand levels so the eye the ox and the arm usually kill me

[calm furnace]

photochad is doing x8

[uneven grotto]

I only have 106 jokers discovered. Should I keep trying on purple stake?

[calm furnace]

and nova is adding 25 after that

[calm furnace]

you will discover everything with time

dw

[uneven grotto]

I mean am I making it hard on myself

[shut pond]

Holy you are right

I MAY BE COOKED

[uneven grotto]

Alright I’ll just run it. I made it to ante 8 last run

[lost vault]

idk some joker unlocks suck

like

satellite

satellite FUCKING sucks

i might lowkey get c+ before unlocking satellite

intentionally

[ivory portal]

Guys what is stake stickers

[ivory portal]

What :(

I love satellite

[lost vault]

it is not good :(

[ivory portal]

Aw man :(

[uneven grotto]

I just won small blind ante 1. I see a Photograph with foil. Should I take it?

Costs $7 but if I buy it I’m at $0

[ivory portal]

Nvm

Wrong card :)

[ivory portal]

Yss

[fiery pier]

The stickers you get on a joker once you complete a run with them

[uneven grotto]

I also see a Hone voucher ante 1. Should I save up and buy that? Or just take the foil Photograph

[ivory portal]

Ahhhh

Those ones

[ivory portal]

Take the joker

[uneven grotto]

Screw it I’ll take photograph

[fiery pier]

Yes

[uneven grotto]

Pretty cool I got +50 chips and X2 mult right off the gun

Bad thing is it’s eternal but I’ll take it

[ivory portal]

Take it

[ivory portal]

I'm gonna learn how to get to e

I have a flight in two weeks

I'll get as many naneinfs

On that flight

What do I take

[fiery pier]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Idol maybe?

[vapid cave]

one of the rare ones and you sell it

[ivory portal]

Damn fr

I did just that

And I bought a baron next blind

[vapid cave]

It was for money bro

[ivory portal]

Which is useless but maybe

[viscid stone]

legendary joker!! 😃
it's chicot 😐

[ivory portal]

I can build my deck

[fiery pier]

I won't tolerate chigoat slander

[viscid stone]

Bro is simply a Luchador that overstays his welcome

[wary zodiac]

no

[lost vault]

legendary joker!!!
its triboulet :(

[wary zodiac]

unironically this

if you've already fixed your deck

sweet

if not

lowkey a paperweight lategame

[lost vault]

if ive already fixed my deck it will be for whatever rank myvpurple sealnis

is

[wary zodiac]

earlygame or if you've already deckfixed is ideal

[lost vault]

for example

[lost vault]

ante 8 btw

[wary zodiac]

holy

[fiery pier]

That's why Perkeo is the best legendary #notbiased

[lost vault]

i luv purple seals

[lost vault]

so true (i love tarot gen)

[wary zodiac]

perkeo and chiGOAT

[viscid stone]

I got my parents Balatro keychains but they don't play it so they don't realise I stealth-insulted them by giving them the worst legendary

[wary zodiac]

sob

[fiery pier]

Type shit!!

[lost vault]

shit

[viscid stone]

dw they deserve it

[wary zodiac]

chicot lowkey has uses though

[stuck dagger]

what is the best deck to farm gold stickers?

[lost vault]

which legendary did you give them

[viscid stone]

Chicot

[lost vault]

hes not the worst

[wary zodiac]

i think in the next update chicot should be reworked or reworded to work more in line with what it does, reversing boss blind effects

[wary zodiac]

you can get infinite hand size with chicot and the right setup

[viscid stone]

Though, TBF
I kept Yorick and he's not the best either
I just liked the colour

[unborn cliff]

doubles money on the ox

[ivory portal]

My gross Michel broke after one use

[wary zodiac]

hell yeah, cavendish next ante

[lost vault]

"yorick is not the best"
extremely loud incorrect buzzer

[ivory portal]

Howwww

[fiery pier]

Yorick is the most solid out of the 5 imo
You can use him on any build and it works

[ivory portal]

Literally how

[lost vault]

purple seal magic

[ivory portal]

No dude

[unborn cliff]

After play or discard, always discard 3 cards (serpent)

[ivory portal]

I need it like rn

[wary zodiac]

burglar

[ivory portal]

😭😭

[lost vault]

also abandoned deck

[wary zodiac]

oh are you dead? 😭

[ivory portal]

I'm on my second blind

[wary zodiac]

ggwp

[viscid stone]

Chicot would work well with my blueprint keychain but I simply prefer yellow + blue over red + blue

[ivory portal]

Nope

[wary zodiac]

wait am i thinking of the wrong one

[viscid stone]

He's not the worst

[ivory portal]

First boss can be beaten with no jokers

So it's fine

[wary zodiac]

is yorick the discards one or the killing face cards one

[lost vault]

hes the best

[ivory portal]

Yorick is goated with the sauce

[lost vault]

discards

[ivory portal]

Yes

Yorick best legendary

😳😳

[wary zodiac]

yorick does not work with my goat burglar

💔

[viscid stone]

He's better on lower difficulties where you have more discards

[lost vault]

yorick is like
madness scaling
but you dont have to sacrifice anything fir it

[unborn cliff]

🤓 triboulet has a significantly higher numerical average 🤓

[lost vault]

no hes still the GOAT on gold stake

30 cards disvarded per ante

thats more rhan madness scaling

[unborn cliff]

literally the opposite

[distant thunder]

i like yorick he looks funky

[wary zodiac]

perkeo ACTUALLY fits with any build i think

do does chiGOAT

[void topaz]

trib is the best only if you have directors cut

[unborn cliff]

other legendaries are better on lower stakes because they're easier to actually make use of

[fiery pier]

I agree #notbiased

[ivory portal]

Lol well

[wary zodiac]

and a lot of econ

[ivory portal]

Idk how to build deck

😳😳

[unborn cliff]

yorick is goated above blue stake because thats when build become much more limited

[viscid stone]

Apologies I should've known better than to insult a legend

[wary zodiac]

balatro yuri spotted

[viscid stone]

I will repent by not doing anything

[lost vault]

purple seals!!!

[wary zodiac]

correct

[deft basalt]

quick question for someone

do i brainstorm my photograph or my chad

[wary zodiac]

photo

[deft basalt]

okay thats what i thought just wanted to make sure

[ivory portal]

Idk what u mean by that !!

[wary zodiac]

try to balance scoring and retriggers as best you can

[viscid stone]

I like Trib because he helped me during my most insane photochad run but Perkeo is probably the GOAT

[ivory portal]

Doesn't that just give me tarot cards !!!

[lost vault]

the top 5 spectrals (in no order) gotta be soul immolate trance medium uhhhhh black hole?

[ivory portal]

So how do I dupe with tarot cardssss

[viscid stone]

Death

[wary zodiac]

yeah and that helps you with stuff like deaths and hung men to make your hands easier to draw

[ivory portal]

But what are thee chances of me getting death all the timeeee

[lost vault]

i dunno abt black hole

maybe talisman is better than vlack hole

[ivory portal]

If I don't have perkeooo

[unborn cliff]

making literally any greedy play

[wary zodiac]

you never know

plus its free econ, through selling the tarots, getting temperance and hermit

[ivory portal]

Also

[lost vault]

anyway purple seals make me purr loudly

[ivory portal]

How do u get purple seals again

Only from spectrals ?

[unborn cliff]

everything makes you purr

[lost vault]

standard packs or medium

[lost vault]

:3

[ivory portal]

Ahhhh

[unborn cliff]

thumbs down

[bleak blaze]

Blue Seals make me smile

:3

[wary zodiac]

:3

[lost vault]

or certificate

[lost vault]

dies

[unborn cliff]

no gayslop in my silly card game!!!!!

[lost vault]

i'll have you know my gay slop is top notch ;3

[wary zodiac]

the WOKE MOB wants to give GENDER PRONOUNS TO YOUR JOKERS

[lost vault]

am i getting banned for this

[fiery pier]

Literally the best kind of yuri

[unborn cliff]

baron mime is a straight couple (rarer than soul)

[lost vault]

i gotta stop being freaky in balatro chat

[ivory portal]

Is campfire really good

[lost vault]

what if mime is a boy though

[ivory portal]

I mean I have a negative rn

[unborn cliff]

"best" "yuri"

[ivory portal]

And if I have food econ

[cloud sinew]

balatro has always been woke

[bleak blaze]

YES

[lost vault]

mime is a boy baron is a femboy

[bleak blaze]

CAMPFIRE SUPREMACYYY

[lost vault]

is this peak

[unborn cliff]

all jokers are women

[ivory portal]

Ok I'll get camp

[lost vault]

kills you

[fiery pier]

Hell yeah even jimbo

[wary zodiac]

triple yuri in one screenshot

[fiery pier]

Specially jimbo

[ivory portal]

Buttt

[unborn cliff]

baron HAS to be a man otherwise it would be baroness

[lost vault]

jimbo's big naturals

[ivory portal]

Each card sold means

[unborn cliff]

so baron mime is a straight couple

[wary zodiac]

baron mime, bp brainstorm, photochad

[ivory portal]

I need to buy jokers

And sell em

[fiery pier]

For fucks sake

[unborn cliff]

the little bells on the joker hats are like nipples

[bleak blaze]

Or planet, tarot, or spectral cards

[lost vault]

heehheeheh

[ivory portal]

Ahhhh

[wary zodiac]

death

[ivory portal]

Okay yeah true

[unborn cliff]

life

[lost vault]

your honor,
arcana pack

-death.

[bleak blaze]

Campfire has a lot more use on gold stake since rentals cost $1 to buy and sell

[wary zodiac]

wait holy shit

[fiery pier]

ODD TODD HAS 1

[wary zodiac]

yeah

[unborn cliff]

didnt the addition of rentals get campfire nerfed from 0.5 to 0.25

[bleak blaze]

Pair it with a vagabond and you've got a genuine mult generator

[bleak blaze]

Yes

It was too OP

[warped cradle]

little silly goofy run on orange stake ghost deck'

[viscid stone]

My other balatro keychain is a blueprint
Surely nobody can object to that

[bleak blaze]

SMEARED BOI

Smeared Joker is so much fun

[cloud sinew]

no

campfire was insane before rentals

it needed nerfing regardless of rentals being added or not

[bleak blaze]

$1 for .5x mult is actually nuts

[warped cradle]

smeared boi with ancient joker is insane

i just need an ecto

[bleak blaze]

^

Ecto for Blueprint or Invis

Or dusk

Wait yeah you need retriggers

I'd look for a dusk, hack, seltzer, or sock

[warped cradle]

unfortnatly, im not good at actually deck fixing so im all over the place

[bleak blaze]

It's okay, i find that watching people who are better than me at the game helps the most

[warped cradle]

i got an ecto

[bleak blaze]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[warped cradle]

and invis joker in the same sho

p

[bleak blaze]

W shop

[warped cradle]

idk if i wanna take invis tho

[bleak blaze]

TAKE IT

Well

Hold one

on*

[warped cradle]

since it could give me another smeared boi

[bleak blaze]

Yeahhhhh

[warped cradle]

or the eternal mad joker

...

[lament hornet]

Best way to arrange bp and bs here?

[viscid stone]

Does anyone here like Canio?

[warped cradle]

BP a chad?

[wary zodiac]

i need a seed with all of the space themed jokers

[gloomy vigil]

tarot theme lowkey peak

[warped cradle]

i think

idk

i havent found a soul card in ages 😢

[bleak blaze]

Your scoring should be equal to the amount of retiggers

3 retriggers for 3 scoring

[lament hornet]

Isn't a bp on sock gonna do me more with the trib? 5x vs 2x

[bleak blaze]

so on and so forth

[warped cradle]

im not taking the invis

[bleak blaze]

For example if you pick up Photochad with blueprint and are struggling with score i'd be smarter to copy the photgraph since the amount of scoring triggers is closer to the amount of retriggers

I think

Someone correct me if im wrong

[mental tulip]

Louis gave me the individual tracks for the balatro theme he cooked up and I remixed it for all the other themes: for the tarot theme I took the bassline and pitched it up and remixed the sound to make into a lead synth

so you can hear that same melody in the other tracks if you listen to the bassline

[bleak blaze]

For the celestial packs did you put it through a low pass filter?

[mental tulip]

I put it through many filters

I paulstretched it and overlayed that too for the spacey feel

and I removed most tracks

then added the drum track with a lot of reverb

[bleak blaze]

Love it! It's probably my favorite of the pack tracks

[mental tulip]

the reverb on the drum track doesn't really make sense because why would space echo lol

but it sounds big!

[ancient gyro]

big

[warped cradle]

i lost

[ancient gyro]

my marbles

[mellow epoch]

you figure out that you can see flipped cards by enhancing them
meanwhile the game engine be like

[warped cradle]

fucking ancient joker hit the wrong suits

[wintry ice]

joker

[native cape]

it happened again D;

[gentle notch]

https://youtu.be/pA_DiPpJkX8?si=JEafToUyDjlUpjxa :3 what do we think?

[opaque yew]

mimechad

[ivory portal]

HELLO

I've opened 10 packs noe

I haven't gotten a single purple seal

[ancient gyro]

this is nothing new

[ivory portal]

@lost vault

Explain yourself

[bleak blaze]

10 Spectral packs?

[gentle notch]

Its a new video >:p

[quasi mulch]

my crimson bean is not working and i was wondering where i could find info on this problem, only have brainstorm mod if that helps

[bleak blaze]

Or just 10 regular ass packs?

[ivory portal]

Standard packs

[bleak blaze]

I can explain!

Its called, Bad Luck

[ivory portal]

Ooo

😭

Ah alright

[gentle notch]

Maintaining the conversation on game balance is important :p

[ivory portal]

I thought they weren't in the standard

[bleak blaze]

They are

[void topaz]

everything is in standard

[lost vault]

o ya theyre fairly uncommon

[ivory portal]

Ahhh I see

[ivory portal]

U must be really lucky then

[calm furnace]

NOO MY JACKS AND 9 BUILD IS OVER

[lost vault]

nah what i do is i get 1 or 2 purple seals from packs and then i used deaths to copy them

[calm furnace]

the boring way out is selling HTR here

[bleak blaze]

THIS BUILD IS HEAT

[lost vault]

death > discard purples gets you an extra tarot

[calm furnace]

and its the correct play since i have VV ahead 🙁

[lost vault]

its so pog

[calm furnace]

have to sell my beloved htr sadly:(

[ivory portal]

Yeppp

I'm not getting a single one

🥲🥲🥲

[void topaz]

the bbc is 2.25

so if you discard 3 jacks its bettter

[calm furnace]

not when copied

[void topaz]

yeah neither is htr lets lock in here

[calm furnace]

yeah but the thing is copying baseball is guaranteed 5x times x3 from blackboard

i have 10 jacks and 2 discards

i either sell baseball or htr

[bleak blaze]

Just because it can score more doesn't mean it's as reliable

Sell the HTR

[calm furnace]

yeah i think thats the best decision

if it wasnt VV

i could risk

[void topaz]

48 card deck and you have 10 jacks

your definitly discarding atleast 3

[calm furnace]

i didnt get many levels in jupiter so im scoring 200k with 3-4 jacks discarded

sorry mercury*

wait i can sell cloud9

and gamble on HtR and copy either BB or HTR

depending on how many jacks i discard

[void topaz]

i mean bbc is 1.5x if you sell cloud nine and cloud nine is 1.5x if you sell bbc

[calm furnace]

sad because i wanted to win with both c9 and htr

ive been making 9s and jacks every time i play balatro and first time it pays off with both c9 and htr

[void topaz]

like its violet vessel and you have 5 hands

i think your best scoring is selling bbc

[calm furnace]

fuck it selling bbc

[void topaz]

gaming

[calm furnace]

doing it for the lore

[bleak blaze]

For the memes

[mental tulip]

do it for jimbo

[void topaz]

im saddened to say jimbo is not infact here

were actually selling the only joker that looks like jimbo here

[native cape]

shall i sell chad and risk the ankh?

[rugged ingot]

Just when i thought things were going swimmingly i lose my only mult joker

[calm furnace]

ok bid blind i didnt draw many jacks

[void topaz]

yeah oull find it

youll*

[calm furnace]

fuck

even with htr at 3.5x

i still dont beat VV

[void topaz]

at 3.5x im pretty sure selling bbc is the best play so either way you were cooked

maybe some tarots could save you idk

[mellow epoch]

Were there any funny seed characters spelling a legit word?

[native cape]

massive W

[void topaz]

lets go

make sure to read boss blinds lol

[limpid sedge]

I think selling banner here would be the best move?

[calm furnace]

LEYS GOOOI

[limpid sedge]

Or erosion

[calm furnace]

got htr to 4.5x which was sligthly less than bbc

but this is funnier

[void topaz]

my brain isnt comprehending how thatsl ess than bbc however lets goo

[calm furnace]

JACKS AND 9S BABY

[brittle temple]

reroll blind when

[void topaz]

ohhh shit it happens before red card

[limpid sedge]

What do y'all think I should sell, banner or erosion?

[calm furnace]

bbc is 1.5 and i have 2 uncommons so its 1.5^2

copying bbc its 1.5^4

[pale wolf]

banger video from doc

ngl ng;

[calm furnace]

brainstorms weakness 🥲

[void topaz]

yeah i didnt think about how htr was before red card

cause obviously its better if itsafter red card

[calm furnace]

yeah if it was blueprint it would be different

i played all of my hands scoring nothing to draw as many jacks to discard them

and 2 shotted

[hidden lance]

bad omen

[calm furnace]

the coupon skip tag should make the voucher free

[ancient gyro]

easiest pick of all time

[void topaz]

just find an ankh immiedetly after and win

[brittle temple]

i wish

[pale wolf]

its not blueprint lol

[pale wolf]

would be nice

[mellow epoch]

In coding, values that exceed the limits of the variable type referred as NaN (not a number). Why is it NaNe here? Just curious.
(I wanted to make a
-Omae wa mou shindeiru
-NaNinf?!
meme, but that extra e kinda ruins the effort from the start)

[pale wolf]

its not Nane, its Nan e

[mental tulip]

because it concatenates NaN with e for exponential

[calm furnace]

dunno if too strong because its basically like at least 25 worth of money for a skip

[pale wolf]

e is the scientific notation

[mellow epoch]

I see

[bleak blaze]

e represents how many zeros are in the number

[pale wolf]

"x10^"

[brittle temple]

you'll get a rebate and wee next round trust me and pick the blueprint

[void topaz]

why is wee the joker youve decieded to pick here

[pale wolf]

thunk, i've been wondering if serpent flavor has anything to do with hydras

[brittle temple]

1e307 goes to nan e infinity

[mellow epoch]

I know, but never saw the e in the context of NaN in anywhere else

[mental tulip]

what does serpent do again

[void topaz]

like

big

[pale wolf]

always draw 3 cards

[mental tulip]

refresh my old brain

oh

[limpid sedge]

Okay yay

[void topaz]

so like notice your hands small

[pale wolf]

its the one people naneinf with

[void topaz]

it gets real big

[mental tulip]

oh did I tell you about new serpent?

[pale wolf]

nope

[void topaz]

its even bigger now

[brittle temple]

mega serpant

[ancient gyro]

you never tell us anything

[mental tulip]

new serpent draws at most 3 cards

[ancient gyro]

gwuh

[native cape]

what could make this better?

[pale wolf]

so its the same for naneinf?

[ancient gyro]

figures that would be the case

[brittle temple]

serpant will stop being a buff aw man

[void topaz]

no you have to discard atleast 3

to get 3

[mental tulip]

serpent is an actual boss now

not a buff

[soft vapor]

waow

[pale wolf]

oh wait you dont draw above hand size

[mental tulip]

even in base game it was a fake boss

[ancient gyro]

discard 1 get 1

[mental tulip]

yeah

[pale wolf]

i get it, okay

this is huge news!

[brittle temple]

i've lost to serpant only once and i was because i was playing full houses

[void topaz]

burglar enjoyers crying rn

[mental tulip]

It's way more interesting this way

[soft vapor]

The serpent bites back

[pale wolf]

yea it won't just be a mostly free pass especially for a late stage only boss blind

[void topaz]

imagine it ante 1

[ancient gyro]

the minimum ante it appears doesn't change right cause imagine dealing with that at lower antes

[brittle temple]

is perkeo a requirement for naneinf now

[mental tulip]

can't show up ante 1

[void topaz]

lame make everyone lose instantly and refund the game

this is a good idea

[pale wolf]

currently its minimum ante 5

[brittle temple]

i wont be able to do 0 brain usage naneinfs while killing time on the train crying rn

[ancient gyro]

i think it's fine as that ante

[pale wolf]

so it'll be both much harder and more applicable

[hidden lance]

flinted

[mental tulip]

Yeah it'll be a real boss now

[soft vapor]

leak: new update will most likely add a new joker. not sure though

[mental tulip]

It was the only boss that wasn't really a boss

[glad viper]

i have one question

do the gods of gambling want me dead, my luck for this game is terrible 💔

[brittle temple]

the new update will have one or more lines of code added

[pale wolf]

what about acorn?

[mental tulip]

which is acorn?

[pale wolf]

shuffle jokers

[soft vapor]

the shuffler

[mental tulip]

oh that's a boss

[ancient gyro]

flip shuffle

[void topaz]

no no dont do this

[mental tulip]

it's not hard

[pale wolf]

pls tell me its every hand 🙏

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[mental tulip]

but it's not a benefit

unlike serpent

[brittle temple]

its still bad if you're relying on blueprint

[void topaz]

acorn is the only boss blind i can see and like breathe a sigh of relief

[brittle temple]

if you dont know you can hold on to it

[pale wolf]

kinda... you can track 2 jokers though

[bleak blaze]

Flipping cards every hand 💀

[pale wolf]

you can select one and hold another

[ancient gyro]

multiple with consumables and eternals

[soft vapor]

wait will double mr bones bug get fixed

[mental tulip]

like acorn never helps your run, serpent does

[pale wolf]

it should at least deselect jokers

[mental tulip]

nah

[void topaz]

the only thing acorn can kill you with is if you forget to check what your ancients on

[mental tulip]

the shuffle game is fun

[oak elbow]

Yo what are y’all’s favorite jokers

Top .3

[ancient gyro]

acorn helps me by blocking other threatening alternative finishers

[bleak blaze]

You can go to Collection and see it

[sullen apex]

Bonana

[pale wolf]

acorn is a good breath of fresh air for the end of a run

[bleak blaze]

Even in a run it will tell you the correct suit

[void topaz]

thats true but like you gotta give acorn a win every now and again

[pale wolf]

i'll admit it is fun

[oak elbow]

Which one

[bleak blaze]

The Acorn can win as a little treat

[soft vapor]

Number 3 spare trousers
Number 2 blueprint
Number 1 chiGOAT

[void topaz]

i like playing each suit once to figure out which one it is like hide and seek

[mental tulip]

There isn't another boss that is beneficial is there?

[sullen apex]

Yes

[mental tulip]

other than serpent

[pale wolf]

besides like hook for specific jokers

[oak elbow]

Blueprint is lowkey a npc answer I can’t lie

[ancient gyro]

not in a general sense no

[mental tulip]

right

[soft vapor]

yeah no

[hidden lance]

hit the road, hologram, runner

[soft vapor]

but it can copy spare trousers

[void topaz]

technically ox can take you out of debt but thats just funny

[sullen apex]

Manacle is beneficial when I'm playing blackboard

[soft vapor]

think about it

[oak elbow]

I love hologram

[brittle temple]

plant buffs you tbh you need to make it harder

[bleak blaze]

Not in order

Trading Card
Obelisk
Madness

[shell dagger]

Hook lets you dig but it can also be really punishing

[ancient gyro]

manacle and hooks potential benefits are counteracted by it existing in ante 1

[mental tulip]

I would hazard to say that serpent is a benefit more than a detriment on a majority of runs

it's just not good at being a boss

[void topaz]

lowkey make te planet debuff all face cards unless you sell photograph

[oak elbow]

Interesting sleeper picks

[soft vapor]

it is a very good change mr thunk

[brittle temple]

trading card isnt a sleeper pick

[shell dagger]

Yeah serpent is only hard if you need to play multiple 5 card hands

Like a shortcut build

[bleak blaze]

Actually no Madness is my favorite joker because it forces you to play the game wayyyyyyy differently

[pale wolf]

will new serpent just outright kill straight builds

[ancient gyro]

tbf it's currently more of a benefit being the current play style of the game being a one does most for runs

[void topaz]

you take the jokers with the funny little symbol and spam planets

[ancient gyro]

gguh

[mental tulip]

usually straight builds win in one hand though by ante 5

[ancient gyro]

you have to dig for the straight first

similar to like needle and water

[mental tulip]

might make them need a bit more deck fixing

[void topaz]

everyone always says just trim your deck to find straights but that lowkey doesnt work

[mental tulip]

but I don't think it moves the needle that much

compared to like the water

[pale wolf]

you only get to throw 3 cards at a time which is around what you end up throwing, except on the very first draw

[mental tulip]

for straights specifically

[pale wolf]

it might not be a big deal

[ancient gyro]

well ig new rework sorta changes 5 card build interactions

[shell dagger]

It high key does

[brittle temple]

we should rename the needle to the fire

[soft vapor]

Thread the needle

[lost vault]

hello thonk

[ancient gyro]

that's the primary benefit of abandoned

[void topaz]

no but like the game cant just deciede its your time randomly

[void topaz]

factual statement

[mental tulip]

I usually try and coincide my straight run attempts with when I get 4 fing or shortcut

[soft vapor]

It decides

Actually

[ancient gyro]

so the logic applies the same for deck trimming for straights if not any 5 card hand/value card searching in deck

[mellow epoch]

3000 hours in 1 year
I hope I don't insult him with the following, but I visualized a meme with Dr. Spectred's picture with that text (3000 hours in 1 year), also with a bottom text:
Math. Not even once.

[void topaz]

bro i said cant again

i meant to say can

[brittle temple]

thunk what do you think about the chicot handsize bug

[mental tulip]

patched

[brittle temple]

aw man

[soft vapor]

it decides when i die because i got too greedy

[mental tulip]

same with bean thing

[sullen apex]

Gottem

[soft vapor]

rip crimson bean

rip chicot

[brittle temple]

rip chicot i dont feel bad about bean

[ancient gyro]

what about the luchador manacle niche

bug

[pale wolf]

did you change overfilled slots not allowing ectoplasm/negative joker purchases 👀

[void topaz]

bean can go back to its one use of saving you on ante 8 randomly

[pale wolf]

asking too much lol

[mental tulip]

it may be fixed because there was some wonky code around disabling bosses that I fixed

[brittle temple]

parking lot money yummy

[shell dagger]

What about the hook bug where it targets blue seals and gold cards

[mental tulip]

leaving that one in 🙂

[void topaz]

surely a boss blind that debuffs number cards called the concrete

[mental tulip]

I don't think I will add any new bosses

[ancient gyro]

i saw that before in the earlier patch notes you tried to fix a bug with luchador not drawing you the additional card against manacle. im assuming that was a bug you had since then

[pale wolf]

there arent any more letters after all

[sullen apex]

Please leave in the mini game of shaking spaceman violently to get him to proc. That one's fun.

[mental tulip]

bosses are super hard to design in a way that doesn't mess up the whole game, look at the plant

[ancient gyro]

oh yeah what new jokers will shake now

[brittle temple]

wuh

[void topaz]

can we please leave out blackboard drawing my hearts

[ancient gyro]

well plant isn't really a threat atm

[mental tulip]

I already took out about 15 boss designs before 1.0 and redesigned them

[pale wolf]

generally have the opinion that plant is okay

[ancient gyro]

yeah it's fine

[soft vapor]

Yeah plant is fair

[brittle temple]

plant just does its job

[mental tulip]

I feel like the plant is a little too restrictive

[pale wolf]

it's like, the foil to face card jokers being concentrated on the same ranks

higher risk higher reward

[tired oyster]

but add boss history - maybe?

[mental tulip]

what are you my jira board

[ancient gyro]

i kinda like the funny idea where there's a chance that your enhanced cards will be bottom decked or something

[mental tulip]

jk I don't use jira

[pale wolf]

god i cant rember anything

[opaque vale]

trello gang?

[soft vapor]

"Debuff kings, queens and jacks"

ehhhh

[sullen apex]

Jira is where work goes to die

[mental tulip]

I use physical sticky notes lol

and a notebook

[sullen apex]

To be re done 6 months later

[brittle temple]

boss blind that disables all number cards when

[pale wolf]

a bulletin board

[mental tulip]

I do ahve a bulletin board next to me

[ancient gyro]

you don't put the sticky notes on your computer like my mom does right

[bleak blaze]

Exactly! And sometimes you're forced to take silly jokers you dont normally play

[soft vapor]

bulletin board joker confirmed

frfr

[void topaz]

dont let it fall on you and make you flat

[ancient gyro]

oh ok

[pale wolf]

around the monitor rim like a movie scene duh

[mental tulip]

I do stick them to the monitor too

I mainly have them in a lil folio

[pale wolf]

"Password:
JIMBO308"

[void topaz]

wait is flat stanley an ireland thing

[mental tulip]

I'd show the folio I use but it's full of all my secrets

[pale wolf]

isnt it spongebob

[void topaz]

what

[mental tulip]

it has my whole life in it and it's just 2 pages covered in sticky notes

[void topaz]

bros life is 2 pages long

[mental tulip]

so I can put it in my backpack

[formal quiver]

Flat Stanley is from a children's book

[pale wolf]

different flat fish

[void topaz]

a bulletin board falls on him

and hes flat now

[soft vapor]

localflunk

[void topaz]

localbonk

[pale wolf]

keep it in a chest like leonardo davinci

[mental tulip]

I have also changed how a royal flush is defined in 1.1

because it's more fun

[pale wolf]

oop 👀

shortcut and 4f?

[ancient gyro]

oh we had like a whole conversation on that

[mental tulip]

not really any gameplay implications beyond the memes

• Royal flush definition changed:
  • Must be a Straight flush
  • Must contain at least one Ace
  • Must contain at least 3 face Cards

[tired oyster]

New planet card for Royal Flush?

[ancient gyro]

nah

[void topaz]

what is it rn

[ancient gyro]

this is not what I asked for

[pale wolf]

so this works with pareidolia?

[mental tulip]

yes

[pale wolf]

SICK

[mental tulip]

a mess

[soft vapor]

WAIT

LMAO

[ancient gyro]

swag

[mental tulip]

isn't it way funnier this way

[soft vapor]

5432A royal flush

[soft vapor]

It is

Thank you thunk

[mental tulip]

yw

[void topaz]

does this mean the ace is the only true royal card

[ancient gyro]

it makes sense in this aspect

[pale wolf]

is there anything more for royal flushes or is that just for more flavor

[marsh dove]

i hadnt considered how shortcut and four fingers change what a royal flush is this is interesting

[pale wolf]

it is much more fun

[ancient gyro]

more scribbly unlocks

[mental tulip]

I don't think there's anything else for royal flushes

[pale wolf]

hurray

[mental tulip]

there isn't much I should do with them because they're so rare

[brittle temple]

it does give the most chips

[mental tulip]

like it'd be wasted design

kinda like seance

[ancient gyro]

speaking of

[mental tulip]

but worse

[mellow epoch]

Royal Flush often happens after the plumber finishes his work in the Buckingham Palace

[pale wolf]

it would be too obscure to have any special boost on it

[void topaz]

i mean if you wanna make a royal flush build its not insane to force

[ancient gyro]

is that gonna be any different or are we asking too much

[tired oyster]

Seance; report to the burn unit.

[soft vapor]

right seance exists

[pale wolf]

just that theres no difference between a straight flush and a royal flush

[brittle temple]

idk its pretty hard to get it going on before ante8

[pale wolf]

except that royal flushes are one of the least likely ones

[void topaz]

i mean white stake

[formal quiver]

seance is good... sometimes

[brittle temple]

5 billion star tarots

[soft vapor]

i have literally never gotten any value from seance

[void topaz]

like 4 stars and like 10 hung men

[brittle temple]

seance is how i got cryptid in one of my perkeo runs

[void topaz]

how is this possible

[tired oyster]

I took seance once; to sit sidecar and get a gold sticker while the big boys did the work.

[mental tulip]

they've never tried

[void topaz]

incantation incantation familiar

[brittle temple]

i have never gotten value out of jimbo (i've never played)

[soft vapor]

straight flush icky

[rich mauve]

I mean

[void topaz]

oh yeah will incantation be changed

[rich mauve]

if selling spectral cards is value

[soft vapor]

Hologram begs to differ

[mental tulip]

"I hate mexican food"
has never eaten mexican food

[void topaz]

like familiar does kinda have its uses

[pale wolf]

i'm sure i've activated seance a couple times in gold stake

[brittle temple]

i remember reseting my game for like an hour or two just to get a straight flush to discard

[void topaz]

thats so niche for a spectral though

[rich mauve]

I don't think most spectral cards synergize with a straight/royal flush

[ancient gyro]

not that I hate seance but if I wanna play all of the fun niche jokers I'd expect to use them more than once every month or so

[mental tulip]

anyway that is a tiny silly patch

[void topaz]

sigil and uhhhhh

immolate

[brittle temple]

the one which changes your cards to one colour

[pale wolf]

without seance we only have sixth sense and that just wont do for spectral gen

[mental tulip]

I have another leak

[brittle temple]

spectral packs

[void topaz]

then go to the bathroom

[soft vapor]

dude fix your pipes

[void topaz]

jeez

[ancient gyro]

is your sink ok

[mental tulip]

I am testing a change to blue seals

[slow epoch]

This run was a fever dream

[mental tulip]

👀

[ancient gyro]

o

[void topaz]

noooo my babies

[soft vapor]

waow

[pale wolf]

LocalThunk is gonna be so mad

[rich mauve]

oh no

[soft vapor]

i reccomend you choose "seal".....

[pale wolf]

my hope is card blocking 🤞

[mental tulip]

it may not make it into 1.1, but it's more interesting IMO

[ancient gyro]

interesting is welcome

[soft vapor]

ok ok noted

[pale wolf]

ok well its not blocking then lol

[void topaz]

blue seals just go back to being the old version and local thunk personally comes to your house and punches you

[ancient gyro]

"reverts the last blue seal change"

[brittle temple]

it may be too late to make a few billion dollars with ticket

[rich mauve]

blue seals are a great help to challenges

[ancient gyro]

oh well

[rich mauve]

I hope

it stays same

[mental tulip]

if the change stays I think they are still the best seals

[soft vapor]

blue seals now seal the deal

[pale wolf]

"1 in 2 chance to raise level, 1 in 3 to lower"

[rich mauve]

continue to being a great help

[ancient gyro]

gguh

[tired oyster]

I hope 1.1 has new challenges

[brittle temple]

i love gambling!

[pale wolf]

[rich mauve]

1/1000 to add 100 lv.

[mental tulip]

if 1.1 has new challenges - how would you expect it to work with the achievements

[ancient gyro]

if 1.1 has daily btd6 challenges that'd be so poggers

[rich mauve]

go beyond 100%

like hollow knight

[soft vapor]

Eternal madness

[mental tulip]

for arguments sake let's say I add 10, so 30 total

[void topaz]

plus ultra

[tired oyster]

Achievement changes to "finish 20 challenges"?

[pale wolf]

i think new achievements are generally the way to handle additions

[mental tulip]

that feels arbitrary for new players

[shell dagger]

IMO don’t take away rule breaker from those who have it but make it require 30 and change the percentage on the stats screen

[ancient gyro]

make it beat a specific challenge as you need to beat a few to unlock more

[formal quiver]

Is it possible to just keep the achievement if you already have it?

[lost vault]

honestly i'd just update the rule breaker schievement

[tired oyster]

Put new challenges in some other category?

[mental tulip]

it wouldn't take the achievement away

[pale wolf]

changing the achievement requirements without retroactively taking the achievement away works too

[lost vault]

idk if syeam lets you remove achievements from people who have it

[tired oyster]

Challenges+

[mental tulip]

that feels messy

[lost vault]

hmmm

[mental tulip]

Ideally it's all one list

[soft vapor]

Ok i need to like

[tired oyster]

I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.

[lost vault]

this is a conundrum

[pale wolf]

season 2 challenge decks 😭

[shell dagger]

What’s the wording of rule breaker rn?

Is it all challenges or 20 challenges

[soft vapor]

Get completionist asap because I accidentally achievement locked my profile

[brittle temple]

lvl2 challenges that are the previous challenge but harder trust

[lost vault]

balatro battle pass when?

[pale wolf]

what if the final 10 challenges are only revealed once you complete 20 challenges

so the rulebreaker achievement still makes sense until you get to it

[lost vault]

jokerless level 2
start with a Negative Eternal Showman (temperance is still banned)

[wintry ice]

and an achievement that needs you to beat 365 of them!

[pale wolf]

can you change every current player's rule breaker into a different intermediate achievement and then have a new rulebreaker

[lost vault]

absolutely horrendous achievemny

fuck the daily reid

[brittle temple]

why negative when you cant even buy other jokers

[mental tulip]

the 'default' thing I would do is:

• add the new challenges to the list
• don't change the achievements (would require you to beat them all)

[gentle notch]

I want to cut in that i love dailies and a daily challenge w a leaderboard would go crazzzzy. Dominion and spire have it. Might be able to entice some streamers. :3

[ancient gyro]

i

[lost vault]

because yes

[pale wolf]

just some ideas

[brittle temple]

we should make it polychrome

[lost vault]

negative showman looks cooler than normal showman

[brittle temple]

but without the buff

[mental tulip]

I don't think that would be good, it's so confusing

[woven spire]

chat whats the scoring

[mental tulip]

try to think of a new player getting into the game after 1.1

[pale wolf]

yea it could be lol
not sure if its even feasible

[wintry ice]

j

[brittle temple]

theres a calculator online

just search balatro calculator

[woven spire]

no fun.

[lost vault]

read the mod you have maybe

e32

[void topaz]

like 7

[ancient gyro]

im fine with that personally

[woven spire]

e41

[pale wolf]

well, it would be in conjunction with revealing the final 10 challenge decks at once upon beating the original 20, but fair enough

[rich mauve]

yes it seems the best option is not taking the achievement from those who completed before

[lost vault]

fick

i forgot steel

[rich mauve]

and changing the requirement

[shell dagger]

With current wording the requirement doesn’t even need to be changed

[rich mauve]

true

[mental tulip]

I'm moving over to #🎙・server-chat

[pale wolf]

not changing the achievement makes sense yea

[ancient gyro]

ight

[mental tulip]

to dodge screenshots

[tired oyster]

Could use it as a marketing tool; "Hurry and buy Balatro now so you can get the Rule Breaker achievement before it gets harder when the update releases in .. (some amount of time).

[wintry ice]

i think the easiest approach would be to make another tier of achievement

[marsh dove]

only just started playing it. theres a yorick? fire

[woven spire]

c+++?

[turbid nova]

Yes

[wintry ice]

of rule breaker

[pale wolf]

thats for normal decks which werent quite the subject

[woven spire]

i see

[icy hollow]

Dayum, 60 mult off the shop lol

[weak relic]

Director's cut

Otherwise you'd get plant'd

[ancient gyro]

rb+

[native cape]

if only i could find a barron

[brittle temple]

he's in the last ante before he beats it

plant cant do shi

[fervent wolf]

Finally beat black deck gold stake

[icy hollow]

Nah

Level 40 pair

[marsh dove]

ok i beat the seed

[marsh dove]

death by perfect erosion

[icy hollow]

Sold the photochad for stickers

Lvl 46 pair*

Shouldnt have wasted steel joker on this run tbh

😔

Whatever

Bean+seltzer same run is a big w tho

[thick nova]

Just had my best game yet

[naive heath]

what is yall favorite deck

[shut pond]

is oops good here?

[naive heath]

no

[copper horizon]

depende on the type of mace u have but relly not u have the paper and no the tragic comedy

its not good here

[unique abyss]

Blue

[copper horizon]

tarot one or the yellow for the economy

[shut pond]

i do not know what this means

[copper horizon]

srrry idk how to say the jokers in english

basicly its not good

[weak relic]

So that was it?

Inflation strategy kinda boring

[copper horizon]

because u have cards good with photograf beacuse u re triger first hand so not good with it but if u have the joker that trigers the face cards its another thing there it will be good to get it

idk if u understand me

[shut pond]

oh that makes sense

thank you

[icy hollow]

Prolly couldve played this run better 🤷‍♂️ wasted red card and constellation in the same run 🥀

[copper horizon]

dont worry man

[slow iris]

yes

[formal shadow]

do i sell photo and odd for bp?

[slow iris]

have you leveled up any hands yet

[formal shadow]

no

[slow iris]

i wouldn't take then

[pale wolf]

tbh maybe sell Chad for hack

2 pair

[ancient gyro]

i can see that

[atomic trout]

Watch this!

[pale wolf]

its holo too

[ancient gyro]

and black deck

[pale wolf]

yumby

[formal shadow]

ok yea i fw that idea

ty

[pale wolf]

frogort

[atomic trout]

Ramen suuuuuuuuuucks

Señor Huesos saves the day 🤣

Couldn't get out this joke

[pale wolf]

using bones on needle

[fading gull]

señor huesos la cabra

[pale wolf]

idk if i ever saw that before

[ancient gyro]

convenient use case

[barren wigeon]

the big lt was here

if only I was here

would've suggested a 2000% buff of saturn

[wicked sequoia]

Sometimes one must ball

🔮

woah you get double money

[wintry ice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA_DiPpJkX8

[sullen aspen]

2000?😭

[woven spire]

should i skip? im scoring e36

[barren wigeon]

yeah im thinking each Saturn gives you 5000 mult and 100000 chips

something light idk

[sullen aspen]

not tryna be that guy but

[wintry ice]

have you already seen verdant leaf

[sullen aspen]

wouldn't 2 mimes and 3 barons be better?

[woven spire]

monee

[sullen aspen]

fair enough

[woven spire]

nope

[barren wigeon]

do you have retcon

[wintry ice]

then i wouldn't reroll it

[woven spire]

no

[barren wigeon]

yeah not worth the risk

[woven spire]

alr thx

[wintry ice]

also you can quickly move mime over to cash out

[sullen aspen]

cant u do it mid hand too?

[wintry ice]

yea

[sullen aspen]

with 3 barons and 2 mimes im pretty sure their score just skyrockets😭

[woven spire]

yh i know, but id rather score less rn than worry abt that

for now

[wintry ice]

what was the deleted message

[sullen aspen]

no clue

[woven spire]

same

[barren wigeon]

something abt furry fan art

[violet leaf]

I need to know, has anyone seen any good furry jokers or textures around this server or in #🎨・fan-art
actively looking for it

here sorry

[sullen aspen]

sob

[violet leaf]

wrote it wrong

[nova elk]

how to know what kind of cards deck I should do each run?

[sullen aspen]

wdym

[barren wigeon]

elaborate

[sullen aspen]

depends on ur build

[wintry ice]

it depends on what you get

speculating towards a build usually isn't worth it

[sullen aspen]

yeah

u needa learn to adapt to every hand type

[wintry ice]

but if you have absolutely no direction i'd trim the edges first
