500 credit cards 🚬
how about
yellow deck
shop has hermit and showman
showman leads to two souls in a mega arcana
wraith on ghost/second pack
Enjoy some self roasting fresh meme, took 9001 hours to make
well, second shop since first has buffoon and arcana
unless mega arcana is from a charm tag before you ever get to a shop
why we ignoring my double soul idea :(
why not credit card showman first shop
and spectral packs can still yield souls
still works under this first shop layout
fucked up
Boss blind got me bc I was stupid
accidentaly played my best hand with 4 cards
lmao
I did unlock what I was looking for
so if we have credit card showman mega arcana we're down to -7
with a buffoon thats -11
we can still reroll and get temperance
for uhh
well assuming the yoricks appear nat negative
33 dollars
I wouldn't if I know more than nothing on the topic related to the game.
The only thing what comes to my mind when I see the phrase "double soul" is some theoretical discussion of about the relation between heaven/hell and siamese twins
question
fair
you cant
the game doesnt let you use hex of all of your jokers have editions
ah
THERE IS HOPE
Speculative Oops anybody?
do the burglar tech alreadyy
am I balling too hard
if i didn't i wouldn't be here
Curious; what finisher blinds have you beat?
fair
leaf (w/ double chicot) and bell
do i just end the run atp?😭😭
I poly'd the wheel
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in long run, if we don't level up hand types at all, the point given by differend handtypes are narrows down to the number of triggered cards in hand and the base chip amount and multiplier in their basic form becomes irrelevant, right?
btw is this placement optimal
actually i just realized
Bro built a particle accelerator
wrong server sorry
with perfect luck and a showman you could just get a hermit and a chaos the clown every reroll and you get infinite rerolls
i though it was crypted server
so if we assume that the voucher is overstock then like
theres no limits aside from legendsries
Thank you negative perkeo 😌
It doesn't matter for the Kings, but balance your triggers and retriggers
So yes
If only I had 2 more dollars
for player experience, GUI/render/visual update should be ignored and the method should be finished without visualizing over a certain amount of estimated time to finish normally, like over 30s
i didn't understand
searching for seeds with the most rentals in a row
Ankh then buy the pack?
found a seed with 27 rentals in a row
thats tragic
ankh is deefinitely the play tho
That’s disgusting
Got star moon and tower
Ankh, or expensive ankh?
ofc you did
what ante
wanna try it sometime for purposes
A .5 x mult increase for $4 is 🧑🍳😘
idk what to copy here
YOLO
im gonna leave this running for a while and then send you the best (worst) seed i find
Yes
Just sell Perkeo then invis if you're not going for a particle accelerator
🍜
ngl i always underuse perkeo
And make sure you have one copy each of Chad and Photo
I heard if you sell perkeo, you get a shiny Charizard
so i sell perkeo? or copy him
Chat... it happened
Are you going for a particle accelerator? If no, yes. If yes, no.
sry particle accelerator english isnt 1st language dont quite get it sry
particle accelerator
See
If you're planning on getting observatory and copying one planet card dozens of times, no. Otherwise, sell Perkeo
I always plan on getting observatory. But sadly my plan falls through 95% of the time
This is a crazy first shop lol
sounds unexpectedly awesome
meh
This seed
Should i just wait for another joker slot
Busk all the socks
Or ecto
Sell a bs. Then you can copy a baron and a mime, giving you higher score
beep
🦓
L
guys is this lucky?
Is it normal that whenever I break my own record (still happens quite often) I get overhyped and sweaty and slow down with making decisions? Or just me
Why is it i got stuck on white stake 3 times then first tried the next two
I used a 3 card build to beat green stake
Is that Linux
now i really dont now what to do here what sell or copy lol
Meh. Coulda been on a better rare
Copying jokers are good tho
Are you struggling for score?
funny build
not at all alreadye getting e11
only a set what triggers exactly 3 cards in hand, or a wasteful high card or a pair
That's impressive since I think - as a clueless noob - that's the worst build
?
Yes, but you're going to sell the poly eventually, so it would have been better as a different joker
4 card builds sounds op - but havent tried them, just planning to
Lucky rare, unlucky poly
Exactly
other than a set, and ofc that one joker 3 or less card build, you rely on high cards, one pair and the set
3 of a kind = set
pairs are the best hand the most often on gold stake, out of every hand
Do I need it?
yes, that is gentoo
with a 4 card build: 4 card straight, flush, 4 of a kind, 2 pairs, 3 of a kind, one pair, high card...many options
I don't need it now, but maybe later
O7
i C++ 3 times already, what do i do now? the game is kinda getting really boring idk
it feels wrong to sell perkeo
Lemme guess, you use Arch btw
I literally just said it's gentoo
Im still yet to find out that but I take notes, thanks for the headsup
Don't bother. If you're not struggling, you don't need it
I was making a joke

If you've ever wondered why Pairs are the go-to Hand for winning long streaks of Gold Stake runs.

I literally just watched that
And I'm in the middle of the video lol
I just drop this link instead of "I use arch btw" https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation
imo 99% of the stuff that Doc said in that video is pure truthnuke
i hope Localthunk take notes to the 1.1
Honestly, respectfully, I don't think anyone cares what distribution you're using
The one point I will disagree with from that video is that I think pairs need nerfs rather than other hands needing buffs
the length of installation doc is just funny
Did he post his lower body in a stripy knee-long socks? That's the leading information which leads to that conclusion or assumption.
What the fuck
(just a meme, nothing personal)
yeah, imo bth options are good, mostly a rework that makes high poker hands good and Low poker hands less op
I'd like a higher ceiling to work towards for the top level players and think the other hands are already strong and capable of winning consistently, just that pairs are even better almost everywhere
Other than that it's a really well argued video (and even this is just a difference in opinion)
Okay yeah, that's obnoxiously long. At first I was assuming it would be about the same as the Arch wiki installation guide
But Full house 100% needs a buff, literally useless most of the times after ante 1 in gold stake
too many plot holes in the game make pairs unconditional in terms of like risk/reward ratio. there would be a lot of work needed to buff the rest of the poker hands to properly justify the amount of jokers working for not pairs
did you watch the video
This too, you need to alter the game drastically to make pairs not the pick
not yet
But it's doable to an extent
ughj
it's almost like... we're talking about the video /t
the video mostly speak of that, how to make Pair less op without making pair bad/nerf it
Like the ante 10 stuff works, -1 Hand +1 Discard is something he brings up and it'd help
ive yet to watch anything balala related past few months 💔
Blue seal of course
woah
I brought that up ok maybe I'll break
idk how they're gonna manage to rework Blueseal without making it bad
i have hopes in big LT
in all fairness it's so entry level you could easily complete it if all you ever knew about before was using a browser in windows. There's detailed comparison of MBR vs GPT, quite literally all file systems, optional manual kernel config, different bootloaders, and most importantly all of it can be run from any distro without a live stick.
A lot of stuff is choose one of like 3 options, so in reality the part you follow is decently shorter.
Arch wiki in comparison is pretty much "haha use pacstrap and that's it" and lackluster padding involving bootloader
I think it needs a redesign tbh, but I also trust Thunk to come up with something good
thunk has stated that the ideas he has for blue seals are not necessarily better or worse than current Blue seal, possibly just lateral shift
the speculative change we know of he says will still be the best seal generally after the change, whatever that means
blue seals will now give negative planet cards 🗣️ 🗣️
if he goes through with it
absolute rework
Well one way on the other, it's about having a measurable long range difference between hand types which sorta represents rarities. I'd agree if the rarities itself wouldn't get broke by cloning cards, converting to suits, removing unwanted cards and many deck manipulations. Since deck manipulation is part of the game, it's - imho - pretty understandable that at late game the differences become obsolete in the matter of hand probability with basic deck poker hands.
I'm wondering if they will just automatically add to the hand level or something instead of giving you planets
Changing it to something like Cryptid's Azure Seal is something I've suggested in the past
That is one time use but more powerful for that one use
i like to know that Thunk will mostly make Rework of the stuff that isn't perfect instead of just making more stuff and break parts of the game (like some bad DLCs)
is that like a mini orbital tag or something, I don't play cryptid
Pretty much
i
don't hate that idea
If the 1.1 is just rework stuff to balance the bad stuff to make it balanceimo is already a good update
"pretty understandable that at late game the differences become obsolete in the matter of hand probability"
if youre meaning within ante 8, this is not the case. even in endless this isnt the case
trance would be hella awkward but this has some interesting upside for higher ranking poker hands
destroys the card and gives 3 negative planet cards of the hand you played
localthunk has shown & confirmed that there will be some new content
yep, new joker and stuff
I think the balance is represented at the low-mid stage of the game with high card, one pair, since it's mostly not viable and optimal at the beginning, so can't build around that from the very start (if u don't get certain jokers), also not providing enough point
currently too many jokers favor pairs
what do you mean the balance is represented at the low Mid-Stage
even if the new stuff is few the reworks of the bad designed stuff in the game imo is a good update already
im trying so hard to understand
As long as pairs scale as well as they are, the route into pairs being optimal is as simple as "I have any +Mult joker"
Or like 2 mercuries is more niche but happens sometimes
without there being a simple hard counter boss blind for pairs
even in endless this isnt the case
just minutes ago ppl shared deck with same suit buffed king decks, 90-100% of those
My prediction is a Mercury Nerf, but I think the game will overall get easier next update rather than more difficult
hand probability doesnt matter there, but high card is still the meta. even if you're guaranteed to draw a flush 5 of kings you're still going to be playing high card in endless the vast majority of the time
Also Thunk said something about Flower pot and Seánce? imo those are also some bad designed jokers
This is what I want but I'm not certain if it will actually happen
where'd the probabilities come from
despite flush five scaling 15x faster, it just doesnt have the jokers for it in endless
and in ante 8 thats even more true
did you hear about the serpent rework
well yeah keep in mind that the new serpent completely changes endless mode
from who and where
like completely
What's the serpent rework?
Pair build stays winning
yeah it pretty much just makes it a boss blind for normal play and removes Baron from existence
so much for buffing 5 card hands
i like it
No more naneinf
I think you guys with experience and many hours of play have a valid point of endgame imbalancement, totally admiring the knowledge and exp of Dr. Spectred, even when I don't understand half of what he is talking about
But as a game, must think about the casual ones, the beginner ones
Separating different form/type of mods in the game for pros should be something beneficial while not messing around with the current game itself
it's still a boss that doesnt really hurt pair but
it means its not beneficial for lobotomy anymore
My thought is that it's not even that much worse for straights at least, because you usually already have three or four of the straight
outside of like
blackboard
Now its being cruel
Have to understand the viewpoint of others under your league
I wanna retrigger my queens and my 2s 😭
my stm glaze 💔
"Separating different form/type of mods in the game" what
as It is I find this game cake and enjoyable so far
we arent talking about mods
i dont understand what you're saying
I think it's very important to design for all levels
I might change my mind after a certain time of gameplay, but don't forget the basic and the beginning of the game, what pulled you into this by enjoying it as a beginner
The game needs to stay fun for casual/new players and more dedicated/tryhard players
that's what stakes and decks are for I guess - or should
Both are important and it's easy to just think about one or the other
You would have to do a lot of damage to the game in order to make white steak not playable for noobs
I don't think any amount of balancing at the gold stake level will really affect people that don't think much into the game
⚪ 🥩
This is true and why I don't think things like "Don't make the game less fun there are so few tryhards" holds much weight when talking about stuff like Blue Seals or Pairs holds much weight
id like to see different niches for 5 card poker hands to be explored more.
straights/3-4oak as planet heavy glass cannon builds
flush/full house/5oak as builds influencing joker variety or multiple on scoring gimmicks
If something ruins the game to an extent for one crowd and the other doesn't care about it at all, then obviously that needs a change
seance is now a full house joker
okay but like
that would be
unironically, how would people find that change
still sort of matches the theming
it might be too many spectrals especially because you can copy it
id like to have a full house sudoku themed joker applied in some form
I kind of like having this
"big cool powerful hand -> big cool swingy run changing item" idea in the game
+7 mult if hand contains full house 
So I think Seance actually adds a lot to newer players as is
what if activating seance gave you omen globe for the ante
I know thunk doesn't like explicitly tied/paired Jokers but I still think it would be nicer if seance didn't require you to keep playing straight flushes, if it had some sort of permanent effect
what about making seance $4 and common though, so that taking it isnt as big of a deal and it appears more often
$4 sounds good, but it's not an effect that feels like a common
i dont usually like rarity and price changes for balance but
what if leveling small hands up also scales the bigger hands (like leveling pair also gives mult & chips for two pair, full house etc.)
suddenly flush five becomes the best thing in the game
wow still shit tier
then ouija
This is one of my suggestion ideas lol for a joker though
Cavendish on ante 3🤩
uhh....
What’s the best hand for seeing double ?
pair
high card smeared
pair or something
you know
why does it gotta tease me
(It sucks of course but I have the perspective that rarities should mostly be around how exciting it is rather than how good it is)
2 pair and straight are the easiest to benefit from see2 but pair beats them bc pair op
tribe being one of the most exciting jokers in the game, ofc.
all roads lead to pairs
You could probably move that cycle to uncommon tbh
ai overview calls balatro university "balatro" 😭
this would 100% have been also perishable if it was gold stake
well yeah. that’s his first name.
it's balatro himself
Mr. University
omg guys
perishable just like the usage of ai
Wait my bad
yeah I'm not entirely sure what the vibes of all the rarities are supposed to be, because there's countless exceptions and I feel like each rarity has (and needs to have) duds and hits
Dr. University
that's it
he became the balatro
(a year ago)
I tried playing plasma deck for the first time in months
like
this deck is not the balatro I've been playing
i dont think localthunk knows
here win
idk if it really matters
we need a mod that randomizes the rarity of Jokers
the boss is flint so it probably is
the main thing this affects is just like
riff raff and the legendaries
imagine getting obelisk from soul card

at least
legendaries have sell values
it wouldn't be a waste
right?
better than triboulet
well their buy value would be $20, right?
since you can't exclusively get them from Soul cards anymore
i think it would be safer to sell golden instead
so i'm gonna do that
(i have 4 gold cards btw)
from my random spitballing, i've just seen commons as niche tarot gen, simple econ, mult/chips, few x mult.
uncommon as mid/late game joker crutches and cool effects working with stuff in their own tier. most inflated x mult jokers. all enhancement jokers.
rare jokers having no +mult with polarizing abilities on the surface and potentially specific game plan limited to 20 jorkers.
legendaries.
"rare jokers having no xmult"...?
at least 1/4 of rares are xmult
If you could get Obelisk from soul I'd call it the second best legendary purely for the purpose of being a contrarian
plus mult oops
alr
I think you can put no x mult as a rule of Commons as well, because the ones that are there are clearly exceptions
one that is there*
o
how many common jokers are there
61
that was quick
there's photo and cavendish
oh right
c++²
is that higher than c++2
c++ x6
C++ is 1200 so ya
oh yeah ig all the enhancement jokers are in uncommon
i need more suit changers for blackboard
wild card 🥴
how many hanged men am i getting
tuah
but speculative baron with 5 kings
;;;
silly
all my blue seals are 4s of hearts
wjat
3.somethingx mult
oops all fours!
rip i accidentally brutally murdered my card sharp
and i immediately got 2 money procs from lucky cards
no...
golden ticket is not
Sell blackboard
@finite heron credit card in the buffoon pack?
Legendary clutch lowkey
CREDIT CARD IN THE BUFFOON PACK
Oh yeah? I got credit card in þe arcana pack (i dies immediately after)
credit card the the celestial pack
Have mercy on me, jfc I shouldn't share my opinion.
Opinion on that recent video - I can see how I might put myself under spitfire with this
it's just a newbie opinion with very limited knowledge, but imho its fine to represent us and newcommers - part of the whole pack - hopefully
Did this guy just use thorn or however you spell it
That's so tuff
|| I'm probably going to get BOO-ed for my opinion, but I'm a newbie with a weightless opinion, so ignore it—live and let live. This is going to be somewhat subjective:
I also genuinely represent noobs/newbies/newcomers, since I am one.
Dr. Spectred is most likely the best player and is well respected in the community. His words and opinions carry huge weight and impact in the Balatro community—as I see it. However, I think he doesn’t fully realize the level of his impact, not just on advanced players but on newbies as well.
I’m not trying to personally attack him, but the title of that recent video can be controversial for newcomers.
“Balatro has a MASSIVE balance problem” — after thousands of hours of joyful gameplay, I know he didn’t mean to cause any damage or degrade the game in any form, but he underestimates the impact of wording itself and its importance on YouTube when representing the game. ||
|| I know this is basically judging a book by its cover, but YouTube video titles can be misleading and demotivating for newbies. That’s just how it works, along with those clickbait thumbnails—it’s psychological.
People who are already deeply familiar with the game won’t see it as controversial. Maybe I’m over-exaggerating the situation from my personal newbie viewpoint, and I know this game is awesome, providing hundreds—if not thousands—of joyful hours in the future.
On the other hand, Dr. Spectred has chiseled toward mathematical perfection over time, setting up an (objective or subjective) image of a “perfected” version of the game. Pursuing that perfection is something I’ve done before (with other games and communities), and in the process ignored the fact that the community, the game, and its imperfections are what made it all perfect and enjoyable (talking about game mechanics).
I pretty much understand Dr. Spectred’s mindset and passion for perfection. But for me, this game is good as it is (except for the Android port battery drain :D). He should think about how much he enjoyed those thousands of hours—otherwise he wouldn’t be such a passionate and determined pillar of this game and its community.||
there was so much text and lead up here to essentially say "I think the video title is overblown" that I gave up reading halfway through
Same ngl
tl;dr forming a newbie opinion on that
I think he's geeked
lmfaoooooooooooooooo
a single video title from a small youtuber isnt going to have a noticeable impact on the general playerbase whatsoever
@grok please summarize this in 3 sentences
honestly i think it's pretty accurste to call the dominance of pairs a large problem
especially when its literally true and they'd end up noticing on their own
if it did then "here, win" wouldn't have existed
My problem with the video was that the small yorick face in the corner made me think edalo (my goat) would be mentioned but he wasn't
I don't like his click bait title and I think it's gonna make people not want to play the game
This is a major issue tbh
I need help
the title and wording is underestimatedly could have a negative impact in the matter of motivating/demotivating new or wannabe new players
Nvm i dont need help
i didn;t even notice þe þorn 😭
you probably know what i read this as
he is the top notch representation of this game on yt, hands down, lets just say that sentence of a title is unlucky at best
i'm fairly certain roffle and bean's channels are larger
newbies arent being served Balatro University content
They kinda are though
You're overestimating how many new players would both care enough about balatro to have their opinion of it affected by the title, without having clicked on the video
they'd have to understand what "balance issue" even means or theyll just say "what? nah" and move on
false, @finite heron i told you to watch balala university, didn't i?
He's very visible even for new players, I've had multiple people I know elsewhere or even irl say something about them
(Not really balatro players)
telling someone to watch something isnt what I'm referring to
im killing you with hammers if you forgot
This is sick, I didn't even read the post and now all yall are commenting on it so I have a semblance of an idea
Rate the gold stake build
its a video
I'm curious how many players who go from barely starting the game directly into the ocean that is BU's right off the rip to learn the game lmfao
oh you mean their post
they aren't being served to him by the algorithm
I have been in the same shoes back in 2000s, as an oldie on a MUD, reforming/trying to reform it into my - even objectivelly reasonable - taste, yet totally forgetting the past, the others participating in that community in different level
And a lot of content aimed at more casual players wants this "I played balatro with the best player" type of angle
that's her point
I was wrong
maybe I'm wrong now aswell
mid asf (holy shit that looks amazing)
WHAT
but my opinion is weightless
The more hand size bug will be reverted
source?
otherwise youre just spreading misinformation
Hold on
thunk chat probably
🙄
i do remember hearing this
hot take
- people that care about Balatro University's opinion enough to view him as an authority will watch the video anyways and agree
- people that don't know or care about Balatro University's opinion will either see it and agree and not watch, or disagree and label it as clickbait/sensationalism as most youtubers participate in, and not watch
blazing hot
Idk if you wanna say weightless. You got unemployment central here chattering away
Your opinion is valid to be clear, but your opinion lead to discourse, which is objectively a good thing and by definition "weighted"
on yt, even title sentencing or a thumbnail can make the difference between day and night and really underestimated imho
i think youre reading too much into this
Got gold on baron, punch and burried yay
what's the actual content of this video?
"pairs are overpowered"? "blue seals are overpowered "? "hiker should be 80% worse"?
and a third group: people that BU is trying to attract to watch the vid, the people that dont know but are interested to learn why
this is a clearer example
Yeah but i wanted to give a more recent one
Anyways fuuuuuuuuuck
5 card hands are underpowered
where is that btw
because i cant find him saying that message anywhere
guess he wants endless to be jarder to be immortal in
Yesterday
same thing i guess
WHERE
People won't get the hiker should be 80% worse thing but just letting you know I appreciate that
If I could express myself in a compact form: I think Dr. Spectred don't realize how important he is in this community and such an unlucky title can do unintentional harm when it comes to ppl. outside the box/but curious to try the game.
same
he 100% does
When is that update coming
and has talked about exactly his impact and how he needs to be careful with sweeping statements
before 2030
that is a different message entirely
in the next 60 years
It's a huge responsibility, and I couldn't do better than him, thats a fact
within the next 60 years*
I could I'm the goat
Makes sense
skill issue tbh
but he went into the pro league so deep, he might forget about the fat layer of amateurs like me
different message entirely
basically says the same thing
it did happen
9 months ago, he does
i was there im just not bothered to find it rn
im just confused how one takes a screenshot of a message that didnt happen
i looked through every time localthunk said "bug" and that message does not exist
this was in regards to bunco i believe
AWWW
Does the difference in audience mean that he should not post the video to his channel (aka a source of income) to accommodate a niche community?
To be clear, not meaning to be confrontational, but curious how you see this way of putting it.
Now I like him even more
I am 100% calling cap on the I didn't choose to have influence thing
He definitely did set himself up to be in this position
maybe
lol yea its a bit of performatism
i think the endless supply of baron mime naneinf videos does more harm to outsiders' impressions of the game than one video on a channel aimed at people who are already playing the game
he literally started the channel as a way to show off his skill and gain cred
What I said - and I know it's a stupid world we live in - but the title and words of sentencing are underestimated, even by him
one video with a few dozen thousand views is a drop in the pond
tbf it has 200k rn
thats all I said, it's a bad form of sentence, forming opinion briefly
a few dozen thousand
one video with a few gross thousand views
yeahhhh, this kinda seems a bit reductive
a quarter house
BU is well aware of his influence, and is also aware of his viewerbase. the majority of his viewers are experienced players. the game hasn't had a content update in 2 years, and as such there hasn't really been any major influx of new players in a while.
I think understanding that pairs being broken and especially why they are broken is pretty important if I'm being honest, the video is a bit clickbaity but the point made is good
it's not so clickbaity to the point of being a lie
You know at some point you might not watch a video of X - who you like and trust - and just digest and accept a title of a video alone (even under the level of consciousness) and scroll forward, in this world of haste and no time for everything
True
its a yearly meta summary cool
yeah but respectfully towards the game itself, kind of controversial if we think about it
not really
no
clickbait didn't work on me yet teehee
the pair situation is crazy
I don't think content creators about this game should have to avoid making any slightly negative statements or titles about it lol
which one am i gold stickering guys
Shorctut
not allowed opinions
superposition
because they could make people not like the game /s
Alright, maybe I'm just overthinking this on my subjective mind.
I have seen exactly one (1) person who plays the game at a remotely high level that disagrees with the "pairs are broken and you should heavily prioritise ways into them" statement
Who
where are they 🔫
he plays 3oak???
what if he played 2pair…
Big ghost deck enjoyer
and like, high streaks?
oh boy
Reasonably? PB 24 I think?
Christ
i've seen some people suggest making two pair 3oak but better in that comment section
He streams a lot, pretty cool guy
que that one image of a goldfish jumping to a different glass than other fish
ill have to skim through it if its recorded
What's an easy way to highcard for a new player😭
You'll have seen him if you watch MLB
i dont really believe it tbh
i think like
i do not
gimme like a week during winter advisory I will wipe that 24 count
until we get to super extreme optimisations
Jfc Dr. Spectred is here and I didn't realize
the difference between two pair / 3oak / pair doesnt actually matter that much
against the 3oak allegations
i think 3oak meta would be fun
"actually no meta whatsoever would be better" ok
3oak is good and you can win 85-90% of your games if you prioritise it
The issue is that pair wins 95%
and 2 2oak currently holds the silver mantle
there will always be a meta
Incidentally this statement is also why I think pairs are too strong rather than other hands being too weak
85-90% is where I think the winrate should lie at the moment
I'm so tempted to take
what’s the strush winrate
which
2
every now and then
im a sample
Uhhh
2/2 that i can remember for me
invis, my red card is already at 36 and it'll scale past smiley pretty quickly
No clue
cya
Higher than you'd expect probably though
Since the real enabler there is just deck thinning and if you can do that you can arbitrarily choose strush as your way of winning
Even if it's not optimal
any tips for golden needle
here's my chips scoring
i was gonna say lower than my black deck win rate
I probably don't need scary face
wait a min I don't have gold seal on like half of these wth
Is this a mod?
hiker
not a mod lol
60 chips while this card stays in hand
hasn't it already
it brings me joy
not what it says
that's quite literally not what it says
x1.5 mult when this card stays in hand, +60 chips
It took a minutes to realise it meant the steel. I’m stupid
Missed this when you said it but I fully agree with this
is that what that says
no no it is
it's just 2 different statements
nah nah dw abt it
baron rework
that's kinda funny tho
baron if it was remotely usable
what is yall's obsession with baron
Blue seal rework
it's bad
we're not starting this again
and new/endless players glaze it
same with bloodstone
and showman
who's we
yes we are
Only new players glaze bloodstone, (non-naneinf) endless and multiplayer people use it begrudgingly and hate every moment of it
im not obsessed with it
i never use baron
Also checkered deck gamers I guess
it sucks
Vayn...
nah lots of people glaze it
even if they know it's really bad
True, I've been on reddit enough to know that critical thinking is a commodity
They hate bloodstone and immediately turn around and say hearts are the best suit
plant chicot debacle
balatro
Plant is definitely the reason Chicot is a good joker obviously
who thought it was a good idea to add a small gap between the front middle armrest and the driver's seat
i cant get my keys
would help if you werent on your phone
i gave up
That was a fire response
Guys...
My greed was punished
I went 5ok on the straight challenge
Such hubris
0 hours since unoriginal post
is there a lore reason you swapped to the "die to plant" build when you had a bus already
I don’t think I can
sell photograph
burnt won't do much because it's ante 8
then again they're rolling for a 2 in 5
Its a challenge deck, I wanted to go for 5ok facecards in defiance of the challenge
sell chariot
Am I crazy or are there a heck of a lot of rentals in this seed: RSNERT8H
Early on or over the first 1000 jokers
@lilo
tr
mr. "card in hand" build
@pepper
thanks
Sold burnt, got canio, it did fuck all except be crimson heart fodder
Sorry for the wall of text, have a good night guys
for the first two antes all initial jokers are rental or rental eternal including in packs, until the last ante 2 shop
the only joker not rental by then is a sock
if you took any joker, you cannot afford it by then
totally not cursed
rental crafty holographic is worth, also ante 2 has rental midas mask
this is definitely a fine seed
that's the joker I take every time I run the seed back but I'm constantly in the negative even if I spend no money
overcompensation @ the YMCA
- sry 😄
lemme run the seed
first planet pack has joopiter
not taking it
as if you take those in the first place
holographic & craft are enough to make it through ante 2 without losing money

essentially 3 saturns worth of scoring on an easier 5 card hand
Based alert
<@&1133519078540185692>
guys how do I get good at balatro
I guess I'm taking the pivot
how do I get good at latro
Stoneblood
take your time, Local!
a real reason to flush???
🔥
admittedly I only ran the seed twice. I saw the perishable abstract on the second playthrough. I also took the faceless joker since it looked like that was my only way out of the hole, plus foil
whys this card as rare as soul brah
nuh uh
I'm gonna throw up
it can appear in more packs than soul can 😎
ante 6
rly?
cant they both appear in spectrals and their respective packs
black hole can appear in arcanas
with omen globe

oh
right right
qwq
i lost flushes are so bad
maybe i shouldnt have greeded rebate so hard
well this is an interesting hand... it is sorted by both rank and suit
thats gotta be pretty rare
ahhh shit I hope crimson heart doesn't disable cert or space joker...
what is your favorite deck so far?
I like checkered deck
I like the structure of using flushes primarily
now this is quite the conundrum....
yes
I'd go with mail in rebater
it nerfs my green joker tho :(
oh, hmm
Whatsbur jroker at
what hand is póker in english
6
four of a kind
i think cuz rebate is a poly its worth taking
Hypothetically it could be a lil flash card pivot
But thats kinda shit unless ur mail in pops off
Which it tends to do
every mail in rebate I've gotten over the past few days has been perishable
yuge????
I try to farm the rebate but I can only get like one or two discards out of it before it debuffs
both
o 💔
Run over
red card better than flash card
nah i'll win ts
Sky is blue take
it would've been a better rebate synergy than gween
hey guys
Um????
am i cooking
lmao he didnt wanna leave me
i think im doing well
now you have a choice
I personally woulda sold the grimbo for the flash card but u can have both now
i had akready opened the spectral
Ur groker will still scale if u play it right
aight man
and im tryna limit my discards
arguably worse to take palette here because of blackboard
I lowkenuinely didn't even see palette
No u should prioritize econ for flash card still i think but try to like play as many hands as possible before u start discarding for money
I went to go get some final value out of hallucination
unless he has whatever mythical tarot gen prior to it
are we serious rn
yeah
ante 10, doesnt matter
ik lol
wouldve died to scaling with this build anyway
true
waiter! more scaling mult please!
oh btw this is my 2nd ever run
might lowkey take the misprint i am in need of chips
yummuhs
surprised i got that far on my 2nd run
do I pivot?
(see how all this information is important?)
couldve just taken a full screenshot :3
did anyone else do the wordle today
and I was already taking the pics of pair level as you asked that
omen globe isnt worth right?
yes
alr
take it when you have money ofc
@clear flax yo hush
estrogen
stop being cheggs
Truþ
balatrodle in 6
balatro more like bestlatro
its goated
WHERE
WRONG
context hat
first of all, spoilers lmao, second, wrong
dude
why are all of my messages so
1 jack died and the rest of them transitioned
hi im dude
huge strength for rebate angle
my favorite no direction maneuver
balatrodle in 3 ||i know rng means a particular thing but misprint being no rng is fucking hilarious to me||
holy crabs it's the purple seal 2 I added 3 antes ago
||Whats the logic behind misprint being not rng in balatroodle???||
||it's not effected by oops!||
oh
🤔
3
||rng means it has a listed probability||
maybe the real pair lobotomy was the 4 of a kind i made along the way
Ahh I see
||cert rng 👅||
that's one death too many :(
yeah :(
do i?????
i think it could lead to a win
hello chat
hallo
HALLO
fuck it
i might lowkey remove the flash card??
the chios from misprint lowkey going hard
hes like as good as green rn
flash better than missprint
flash card i mean
if it wasnt negative green would be the play
by far the strangest build I've ever played
sell miss ngl
when did I even get blank???
tuff choices ☠️
that’s why painted sucks
bruh
That looks like a fun setup
i meeean if u had 5 jokers slots it wouldn’t be much of a problem
I hate Orange Stake
not really
it's just pair spam lmao
discard a pair, play a pair
pair spam is fun IMO
Do I take Eternal Blue or Perishable Chaos?
Playing Checkered
chaos
eternal blue ain’t even that good pick in plasma
Good luck on that it’s tuough but possible
1
FUCK I WAS RIGHT
Yeah it’s not good most of the times
Yeah take the chaos
chat what do I sell (literally anything except bp works lmao)
ante 8 pair level like 40
Blue just gonna wreak your run
yeah it was my 3th Gold stake win, took me a few days
thanks tho
for?
Bro that shit was hard
