[primal epoch]

you can turn your computer on by pressing the on button

[willow frost]

honestly i was confused as well at first

[simple jacinth]

4oak aces with scholar/foil stencil/steel joker was pretty good just now

shame it didn't quite finish a run

[willow frost]

because id never skipped a pack after opening it until then lol

[simple jacinth]

but it also didn't find me glass joker so whatever

[frank grove]

steel joker is sooo weird

[primal epoch]

how did you guys do on your first ever run?

[hasty onyx]

Whats weird abt it

[cloud sinew]

Trib is x32 on five triggers

not x10

[simple jacinth]

steel joker is great, but I think it could use a buff

[willow frost]

i died ante 2

[frank grove]

it scales so slow compared to everything else

unless you have dna and copy jokers it just cant be as good as most of the other xmult options in a lot of runs

[simple jacinth]

I guess having and playing around your steel is its own reward

[frank grove]

yeah

[primal epoch]

I very much didn't, lmao

[hasty onyx]

If every card in hand is red seal then youve won because every card in hand is red seal not because you have a trib

[simple jacinth]

But when Yorick scales at 1X per condition met, steel kinda pales

[willow frost]

insane lmao

[spice cypress]

can i be saved?

[simple jacinth]

I think it would be much better at X0.33 or something

[willow frost]

i think this is my first roguelike and i suck at making decisions so you know

[cloud sinew]

Red Seals arent what gives you x32 with trib, do you understand what im saying?

[willow frost]

some people are built better

[frank grove]

with red seals it would be 1024 times

[cloud sinew]

5 kings/queens scored will give you x32 with trib

[primal epoch]

I've been playing roguelikes for basically my entire life lol

[willow frost]

awesome

[primal epoch]

my dad was a bit of a nerd

[simple jacinth]

balatro has less variables than something like sts, so it does feel easier to make a decision a lot of the time

[hasty onyx]

Retrigger jokers?

[cloud sinew]

No

Just trib and 5 kings/queens

2x2x2x2x2 is 32

[shell dagger]

triggers not retriggers

[willow frost]

oh frick i was gonna try that at some point, thanks for the warning lol

[hasty onyx]

Ohh mb

[willow frost]

thats pretty cool

[primal epoch]

you ever heard of Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers?

[willow frost]

nope

what is it

[simple jacinth]

essentially what you base your decision around in Balatro is:

1. what hand is my strongest?
2. what do I need to do to play that hand?
3. how much does it score?
4. how many hands does it take me to beat a blind?

[primal epoch]

its basically balatro but blackjack

[reef oyster]

i hate the wall so much

[primal epoch]

really fun

[simple jacinth]

and 5) where does my scoring come from/where could it be improved most?

[willow frost]

oh my goodness ive gotten so sick of playing blackjack lmao ive played enough for a lifetime

[frank grove]

ive been meaning to pickup dungeons and degenerate gamblers

[simple jacinth]

you've got a lot of mult but no chips? best get chips

[willow frost]

but yeah ill try it once i get more time

[primal epoch]

highly recommend it

[reef oyster]

Could i win this

[willow frost]

maybe in a week or two

[simple jacinth]

got a ridiculous amount of mult? xmult's your friend

[primal epoch]

hearts is the best suit btw

[simple jacinth]

and yeah, spend as much as you need to in order to live

[hasty onyx]

Whats your steel joker on

[reef oyster]

x1.8

[frank grove]

yeah

god steel joker suckssss

[hasty onyx]

prolly not

[frank grove]

getting it after you build into steel for an entire run is fun

but if you dont it BLOWS

[simple jacinth]

seems close but 30k a hand gets it

[willow frost]

no

[primal epoch]

I've been really enjoying lucky cards recently

[simple jacinth]

lucky cards are great

[frank grove]

ive been enjoying glass cards as of late

[simple jacinth]

when they just hand you a whole $20

[stray sinew]

what even are the odds man

[simple jacinth]

I've been USINGJUSTICEANDWISHINGTHEGLASSJOKERSHOWEDUPAUGHHH

[primal epoch]

I had an insane run earlier, $60 a round by ante 4

[frank grove]

glass joker is SOO good

[simple jacinth]

glass joker is so good when it SHOWS UP IN SHOP

[frank grove]

ive got it SO so much recently

[reef oyster]

whats the best deck to use i have up to the black deck

[frank grove]

and its been carrying runs for me

[primal epoch]

I only just now unlocked glass

[simple jacinth]

can you guess which joker I need to sticker last?

[weary idol]

Do I take hieroglyph here?

[primal epoch]

jimbo!

[willow frost]

theyve used 60% of their hands to get less than 25% of the scoring requirement and their current cards dont look amazing so idk lol

[frank grove]

im guessing: glass

[reef oyster]

i lost

[willow frost]

yeah rip

[simple jacinth]

depends where th—oh,

[frank grove]

blue and yellow are always just decent

[willow frost]

in hindsight idk if 3 +mults was necessary

[simple jacinth]

hand levels speak for a lot, they're one of the most cost effective ways to get chips

[primal epoch]

burnt joker 🤤

[frank grove]

space joker is fun

[reef oyster]

idk what im doing fr

[willow frost]

theres no limit to the TRUTH 💯

[willow frost]

fire

same, i keep mindlessly resetting on plasma white stake until i get something op

[stray sinew]

where are the swashbucklers and temperances when you need them

[primal epoch]

earlier today I got ante 1 egg + giftcard and NO swashbuckler

[reef oyster]

idek how ppl setup so all their cards are the same

[primal epoch]

tarot

[frank grove]

lots of tarots and money

[willow frost]

just get a very long run and itll happen eventually

[primal epoch]

mainly Death and Hanged Man

Cryptid if you can find him

[reef oyster]

also what card do i want to be the one i focus on

[primal epoch]

depends on your jokers

what's your setup?

[reef oyster]

well i just lost so uh

nothing ig

[primal epoch]

Lol

[willow frost]

fucking hell lmao

[primal epoch]

dude, try my seed

T61R9ZJY

[frank grove]

what deck and stake?

[primal epoch]

Ghost, Purple

[reef oyster]

i have neither of those

im still on white stake

[frank grove]

ok ill play on gold

[weary idol]

My first ever e

[primal epoch]

my end setup was like this, and I had red seal lucky cards

so maybe try to aim for that

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[primal epoch]

:)

[primal epoch]

I died with double bloodstone

[primal epoch]

awesome

pretend the invis is a bloodstone, I forgot to ss after it copied

cat was on like 10× mult

[fervent wolf]

Knew Fork played bloodstone builds >_<

[lost vault]

where's the hatred

[serene forge]

it's not my image

it's kami's

[lost vault]

oh

[serene forge]

a flush with 2 bloodstones and 2 hacks scored 100k

[lost vault]

oh

thats silly

[fervent wolf]

Sure...

[lost vault]

2 ajs and 2 hacks would score like a billion

[serene forge]

@fervent wolf

[primal epoch]

hmm

we gotta find you a good seed

[reef oyster]

what to choose

[patent sail]

🐈

[fervent wolf]

@lunar zealot atleast give Fork credits

[stiff cosmos]

I love me a gift card
Maybe not the best option but I love me a gift card

[serene forge]

gc

or summit

probably gc

[reef oyster]

is the summit the one on left

i cant tell the names since i havent gotten any of these before

[patent sail]

any?

summit is the funny rocks

[primal epoch]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[weary idol]

I died. Super fun. Unseeded. But good seed if you wanna try it

[primal epoch]

(second shop in a row with scary face on abandoned btw)

okay that's just cruel

[weary idol]

How do you increase you hand size?

[patent sail]

vouchers, juggler

troubadour

[primal epoch]

theres vouchers for that

[patent sail]

turtle bean

[deep fossil]

Chicot

[weary idol]

I got both. On Reddit I see people with 20 cards.

[patent sail]

(temporary)

[primal epoch]

DUDE I GOT SQUARE AND WEE

[patent sail]

chicot bug maybe?

or bean crimson heart bug

also troubadour and bean jokers

[primal epoch]

if you have 2+ Chicot's and select The Manacle, every extra chicot gives +1 permanent handsize

[patent sail]

+1 per every chicot past 1st

[primal epoch]

better wording, thank you

[patent sail]

pack it up run is won

[primal epoch]

yeah babyy

[deep fossil]

Cus chicot doesn’t turn off boss blinds it just inverts their effects (kinda) so extra chicots do it multiple times

[patent sail]

if crimson heart debuffs the bean, you get to keep the hand size permanently i think

something like that

[weary idol]

Tyty

[eternal pumice]

[primal epoch]

more specifically the blind takes it away, and chicot gives it back

[patent sail]

this is way more effective but does rely on more luck and setup

[deep fossil]

Yeah

[deep fossil]

Holy Fortnite it’s the real gros michel

[patent sail]

hey bro so can you decay rq i want the x3 mult

[primal epoch]

chicot bug is why I love chicot ❤️‍🩹

[eternal pumice]

Legends never die

[patent sail]

pretty accurate to what happens in game yeah

[deep fossil]

The “legend” chicot dying because I sold him:

[patent sail]

i sold canio for walkie talkie today 🔥

[glad bronze]

Chicot is the only legendary I don't have gold stickered

[deep fossil]

Best play of all time 🔥🔥🔥

[primal epoch]

HOLO EVEN STEVEN

[glad bronze]

and I'll never have him gold stickered bc he sucks

[primal epoch]

WHAAAAAAA

[patent sail]

how humorous, thats my only gold stickered legendary

[primal epoch]

RUN IS WON

[patent sail]

to be fair i had no way of scaling canio and walkie talkie was the only shop option available

[fervent wolf]

Can't wait to remember that and see you praying for a luchadore >_<

[deep fossil]

Fair

[slender creek]

had a dream there was a joker called mozzarella stick and it exploded your computer and you get kidnapped

[patent sail]

i had a dream localthunk added ^1.1 mult edition from cryptid

[glad bronze]

well as it turns out I won't be praying for a lucha because I ALWAYS GET CHICOT

[deep fossil]

Yall what deck would spamton use the most

[patent sail]

cant complain about boss blinds being disabled or free 10 bucks

[deep fossil]

Probably yellow right

[glad bronze]

spamton gives plasma vibes

[deep fossil]

True

[patent sail]

🐈

[glad bronze]

am I wrong?

[glad viper]

no

[frank grove]

I didnt find the oops but found an invis instead so gg.

[glossy mortar]

Hey sooo uhh I’m scared. What do i sell?

[primal epoch]

w seed

[frank grove]

yeah

[glossy mortar]

Or do i not sell?

[serene forge]

nothing

[glad bronze]

all of them

[primal epoch]

the stupid pair

[glossy mortar]

Actually i definitely sell

I need my steel cards to be buffed by that mime

[serene forge]

oh

[frank grove]

then probably the duo?

[primal epoch]

hate The Duo

[glossy mortar]

Okay I’ll do the duo.

[frank grove]

with enough steel thats better than duo

[serene forge]

yeah probably sell the duo

[serene forge]

i hate you

[glossy mortar]

It is the odd one out as the only rare Among the uncommons

[primal epoch]

I love me

[patent sail]

i recently had a seed with gay astronomer, constellation and negative satellite by ante 2

well i think gay edition came from ghost deck

[modern panther]

I still have 5 decks to purple

Im dumb

[vocal rose]

gift card

[vocal rose]

nothing

[glad bronze]

I HATE YOU CHICOT

[patent sail]

they need steels tho

[serene forge]

why are you perishable...

[patent sail]

splash

free

[modern panther]

You're guaranteed chicot

If it's the only non golded legendary

[patent sail]

jus gold stake him and move on twin

[glad bronze]

I already knew that

[frank grove]

ecto hit invis and then i got a banana huge?

[stuck dagger]

is 4/15, 19/150, 0/20 good for 100h of playing?

[primal epoch]

banana

[primal epoch]

is what huh????

[stuck dagger]

4 decks won on gold stake, 19 gold stickers on jokers and 0 challenges won

[frank grove]

4/15 for c+ 10/150 for c++ 0/20 for the challenges im guessing

[glad bronze]

I don't think I need my chip jokers anymore do I

[stuck dagger]

yep

[frank grove]

do you do a lot of endless?

[stuck dagger]

not really

[uneven laurel]

This seems a bit unfair...

[stuck dagger]

just cant beat a gold stake on black deck now

spent many hours today trying to win this awful deck

but still not

[frank grove]

Yeah

Black deck is annoying

[primal epoch]

lets goooo

my wee was at like 2000 chips

[glad bronze]

I don't wanna know how big your wee is man

[wanton breach]

i wanna know

[fresh vessel]

i’m dead ante 13

[willow frost]

[peak plinth]

[plush lance]

Lost shortly after but fun high score

[fast flame]

[cloud sinew]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[eternal flame]

alright guys

[dusk raft]

An interesting way to get my first gold stake win for sure

[eternal flame]

I am starting up painted dekc

what should I know before starting to attempt gold stake

[manic zealot]

alright

nap time over

gold stake time

[cloud sinew]

english only please

[olive basin]

Si, no podemos hablar español aquí.

[fringe nebula]

i love balatro

[olive basin]

This is the way

[olive basin]

Judgement?

[fringe nebula]

buffoon pack

[glad bronze]

Gimme the dagger mult I swear chicot

[manic zealot]

lmao

[olive flax]

Guys I need help deciding what to sell

[manic zealot]

showman, but if you really really really don't want to sell the showman on the off chance it shows you another bloodstone, you can sell the photo

[glad bronze]

the nova obv

[olive flax]

Sure photo is a safe sell?

[manic zealot]

with oops, yes

but if you die because you sell the photo I take no responsibility lmao

[olive flax]

Lol

[manic zealot]

it's a hunch, because bloodstone oops is so powerful

[lost vault]

gang

the fucking card sharp

[olive flax]

My first time experiencing it

[lost vault]

????

[manic zealot]

oh yeah you're right actually

you can sell the card sharp

[olive flax]

That seems like a better option

Thx

[lost vault]

selling photo loses 8x mult gng

[manic zealot]

you're right

[olive flax]

Yea, thx

[manic zealot]

the game blessed me with lots of money this run

[hasty onyx]

Shoutout to my man abstract joker bro he’s never failed me

[manic zealot]

he's a good lad

[glossy mortar]

Hands down the easiest game of my life. Starting with a spectral that gave me 10 MORE 2’s and a DNA in the first shop made this the cleanest 5 OAK ever.

[manic zealot]

also egg + swash

[glossy mortar]

Yeah egg swash made it too easy as well

Plus hitting every single wheel

[manic zealot]

I was right about to ask about that

did you hit polychrome on swash

[glossy mortar]

I got 3 wheels and all of them hit. Though the DNA and whatever the mid game card was didn’t last till the end like the swash did

[manic zealot]

epic

[atomic trout]

I quit.

[lost vault]

skilli ssur

[sudden river]

no, it really shouldn't be.

[lost vault]

that would be horrible

[sudden river]

"cryptid mod is down the hall and to the right"

[lost vault]

but yeah that guy sucks at balatro he ranked yorick amongst the worst jokers

[manic zealot]

bro really?

[lost vault]

like even if he was a bad legendary he doesnt deserve top 10 worse

[manic zealot]

yeah absolutely not

[lost vault]

the worst legendary is still low a tier

oh its worse than i thought

VAGABOND

[lunar zealot]

I fucking hate yorick

[glad bronze]

vessel straight up kills me here

rip

[pallid ferry]

why is yorick front and center 💔

[lost vault]

runner???? who even hates on runner dude

[lunar zealot]

sucks ig

[shell rock]

runner there is crazy

[olive flax]

Just lost at end of ante 11 because showman refused to show anything joker-wise

[tender quarry]

Successful ragebait I guess 😔

[lost vault]

true

[tender quarry]

I'm familiar with the channel and I'm like 99% sure he just posts stupid takes to engagement bait

[shell rock]

yeah probably

[primal epoch]

mine is the biggest

[fast flame]

wacko shut it

[acoustic kettle]

Ragebait

[primal epoch]

:)

[lost vault]

it isnt

he actually like

provides reason and explanations for each

now granted the explanations do sucks

suck

heres the final list btw

yorick was in the center of the thunbnail and only made honorable mentions 🥹

[acoustic kettle]

Red card runner

[lost vault]

the part that really confuses me is sixth sense

how is sixth sense gonna be there but not seance

[acoustic kettle]

True

[lost vault]

like seance was literally in the honorable mentions it wasnt a mistake

[acoustic kettle]

Dagger in there smh

Loyalty isn't good but not 10 worst

[glossy rose]

Is photo even worth taking here and if so what do I replace

I was planning on keeping trading card a little longer but it’s fine if I can’t

[lost vault]

his reasoning for stuntman was "cuz most hands require 5 cards" like okay just dont play those hands then

[glossy rose]

Egg is worth 46

[lost vault]

remove swashbuckler if youre getting photo

[acoustic kettle]

Oh fuck no the honorable mentions is even worse

[tepid skiff]

most average gold stake run

[lost vault]

ikr qwq

[fervent wolf]

Smartest full house player

[lost vault]

3 amazing jokers

[cloud sinew]

died to mouth with double card sharp is crazy

[glossy rose]

Sad thing is I haven’t gotten the one tarot card that egg is good with a single time

[lost vault]

16k on a full house with this setup is silly why is full house so weak

[acoustic kettle]

Because no card sharp proc

Misprint must've hit 0

[lost vault]

well yes but id still expect a little more

[acoustic kettle]

Low level full house

[fervent wolf]

And with the polychromes, chips from bull, cardsharps, and misprint, a level 1 pair even would've been good

[cloud sinew]

ante 6 with 4 poly and double card sharp and they only scored 16k? definitely a reading comprehension issue

[buoyant iris]

67

[acoustic kettle]

I mean considering they played full house to mouth i'm not surprised if it is level 1

[cloud sinew]

playing full house with double card sharp was a bad decision then

[lost vault]

meow!

:3

[fervent wolf]

Mew >.<

[left oracle]

Hi

[lost vault]

mew 🤫 🧏

[candid iris]

Hey I just got Balatro after playing on Balatro+ and my save data is not transferring does anyone know how to do that

[lost vault]

this section of the emoji list still cracks me bruh

they have 10 of the same emoji why

[lost vault]

impossible

[deep fossil]

Who is using the clock emojis

[lost vault]

🕞

[cloud sinew]

Balatro

[lost vault]

balatro!

[deep fossil]

Balatro

[lost vault]

should i finish the abandoned deck

hmmm

[vagrant pike]

MISPRING

MISPRINT

WHERE

[light brook]

soo the lore is there was a bunch of different family emojis (different genders, different amount of kids) then they realized there was too many orientations so they made them all the same and kept them separate as to not mess up the unicode

[lost vault]

i know there used to be a bunch of different family emojis

[rich yoke]

oh my god

[terse dock]

All genders because of woke

[brave goblet]

Holy fuck crimson heart is terrifying

[deep fossil]

Gang the extra reroll could not have been that important in defeating the boss

[cloud sinew]

Sticker maybe

[deep fossil]

What

[cloud sinew]

Maybe they were wanting to get a Gold Sticker on that joker

also

[hasty onyx]

Ive made a beautiful masterpiece

[brave goblet]

Kept it for sentimental value

[cloud sinew]

its one more.joker for crimson to hit

it would be worse to have fewer jokers against crimson

[brave goblet]

I mean true I should've replaced it with something but it was foil lol

[deep fossil]

Dang didn’t know Jimbo could do that with bananas

[cursive crater]

FOIL IS FOIL!

[reef oyster]

So saddening

[tranquil steppe]

Talk about a clutch shop with violet vessel as the boss

[hasty onyx]

It is round three bro it cannot be that deep

[cursive crater]

thank you ice cream for the clutch

[tranquil steppe]

Ice cream is the true GOAT

[deep fossil]

You know what is deep though 😏

[hasty onyx]

Nvm that sounded fucked

[cursive crater]

did it really have to be yours

suboptimal play

[hasty onyx]

Dawg actually what was i thinking

[reef oyster]

Its not

But i have gotten past round 3 for like 2 games now so it's getting annoying

[mellow cypress]

bro😭

play better hands twin

draws can NOT be that bad

[reef oyster]

I swear they were

[mellow cypress]

🧢

bad discarding then

[tranquil steppe]

Ice cream for the dub

[mellow cypress]

❔

↪️

[mellow cypress]

↪️

[hasty onyx]

I didnt know tutorial jimbo gets a gold stake too

[tranquil steppe]

I think 11 mil was enough

[mellow cypress]

its a joker...

why wouldn't it..

[tranquil steppe]

🫸

[hidden lance]

one of my better vampires

[tranquil steppe]

Midas vamp ftw

[mellow cypress]

yah who'd have guessed bro

[hasty onyx]

Mf me i was just saying i thought tutorial jimbo and joker jimbo were different assets and tutorial wouldnt get a gold stake

[spice cypress]

I WON THE ORANGE STAKE FUKC YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[mellow cypress]

why wouldn't it....

??

[hasty onyx]

Good lord

[spice cypress]

i used this deck

[mellow cypress]

thats what U were thinking bro idk why u getting exasperated at me fo

why the hell wouldn't it

[tranquil steppe]

Double nanners go brrrrrrrr

Actually triple with BP

[junior horizon]

Thats why its called a boss BLIND

[dapper pond]

Should I take hieroglyph here?

[uncut ice]

Did you showman or anhk?

[spice cypress]

invsible joker

[uncut ice]

Oh huge

[spice cypress]

fr

i got bluprint from a rage spectral card that my sixth sense gave to me

literaly a gift from the heavens

[uncut ice]

Sixth Sense actually dropping good spectrals for me is almost as rare as the wheel hitting

[lunar zealot]

Do you need to?

you might get vv on your next go around of ante 8

[polar abyss]

They see me rolling

[lost vault]

whyyy is blueprint on fibonacci

[spice cypress]

so the mult score is high enough for the cavadish's to make a much more eficiant mult

[fast flame]

I got past black stake checkereddddd

[lost vault]

that makes no sense, it would be much better to just have another cavendish

[spice cypress]

well idk it worked pretty well for me

[fast flame]

times 3 mult off of 2 more times 3 mult instances are better

[lost vault]

okay so lets say fibonacci is givibg you 40 mult

the blueprint makes that 80

[dapper pond]

NOT AGAIN!!

[fast flame]

than adding more mult to 2 instances of times 3

[lost vault]

"effectively" doubling your mult

aounds fine and dandy

but cabendish triples your mult

so its jist

better

straught up

[spice cypress]

i felt bad for poor fibonachi, i wanted to give him a friend to mult with 🪿

[lost vault]

guh

[spice cypress]

i dont really care for deep endless, i just want to beat the stake

[placid cave]

do you guys have spectral cards that are taken less than soul?

[lost vault]

yes???

soul is rare af

i hope its not your most taken

[cloud sinew]

fuck

i love chad 8ball but i want to win

bye 8ball hi stuntman

[mellow cypress]

oh boy

[hasty onyx]

The gold stamp one probably

[lost vault]

it was doomed from the start

[cloud sinew]

Most of them, yeah

[lost vault]

(perishable)

[lost vault]

someone plays seeded

[placid cave]

shiver me timbers

[lost vault]

no shame

[mellow cypress]

not seeded, brainstorm filtered

[lost vault]

close enough

:p

[mellow cypress]

I do some seeded runs with scouting but most arent actually legendary seeds

[mellow cypress]

why should I have shame

[lost vault]

thaat

is not what i meant

by no shame

[spice cypress]

i do actually

[lost vault]

i meant im not shaming you

[mellow cypress]

based

[cloud sinew]

Not even in my top 10

as it shouldnt be.

[lost vault]

maybe cuz its rare idk

👀

[placid cave]

deja vu is crazy

[lost vault]

why black hole ther lmao

[cloud sinew]

not used much in total tbf

[lost vault]

this is true

save data has been sucked away multiple times

but i do have a few goldstakes on this file

sooo

[hot jackal]

Is bootstraps and mail in rebate good synergy

[lost vault]

no, purely because bootstraps isnt good

[acoustic kettle]

Bootstraps is just ass

[lunar zealot]

Rebate carries that synergy 99%

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[junior horizon]

IT JUST FUCKING DAWNED ON ME

[junior horizon]

The +chio hands joker ha e blue lipstick, and +mult have red

[lunar zealot]

the same could be said of bootstraps and another way to make money

[junior horizon]

Like sly and jolly

[opaque ice]

Green deck 👍

[lunar zealot]

an actual good synergy i can think of is seed money

Good as in inherently synergistic

I mean

money is inherently syn

You get what i mean

[acoustic kettle]

Seed money green deck

[opaque ice]

Oh hell naw

I never got it because what's the point

I get no interest anyways in green deck

[cloud sinew]

yeah thats the point

its useless

[opaque ice]

Ik

But I shit you not

[hot jackal]

What's seed money

[cloud sinew]

its not even like TTM where it can be good for you inherently (beyond the buy price)

[opaque ice]

Thats my 2nd two pair bulid that won a stake

[cloud sinew]

interest cap is raised to $50 (+$10 a round)

[opaque ice]

That happed on the previous one to get me to purple too

[placid cave]

the worse part is if you dont buy it, it can show up again

[acoustic kettle]

Well it is pants

Pants is good

[cloud sinew]

and even if you buy it, money tree can appear now lol

[hot jackal]

Oh ok

[opaque ice]

Yeah. Honestly the gold joker even though shit. Wof made me keep it due to the polycrome

[cloud sinew]

Golden Joker is not shit

its very good

[acoustic kettle]

Econ is never bad

[lunar zealot]

jokers that make money are better than jokers that don't

[opaque ice]

Yeah but there is like way better econ

[lunar zealot]

and yet it makes money

[opaque ice]

Personal fav is rocket

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt make it bad

[lunar zealot]

money can buy many things

[opaque ice]

Ik ik

[lunar zealot]

like for example ways to make more money

[hollow birch]

if you're early into a run without anything really leveled and you have a brainstorm + DNA, would you rather take a red seal king or a polychrome 4 to try to copy?

[cloud sinew]

polychrome 4

[lunar zealot]

I would dupe something to survive

[acoustic kettle]

Poly 4

[lunar zealot]

red card start is a gg

[acoustic kettle]

True

[hot jackal]

What's gold stake

[acoustic kettle]

Hardest stake

[placid cave]

Well but how about interest? Just save 20$

[cloud sinew]

Blue starting with blue joker is better than red card with red deck i think

[opaque ice]

I mean theres more jokers that do more off of face card tho

[cloud sinew]

you can do both, and golden joker actually helps you get to interest cap

[opaque ice]

I get why the 4 and strength it

[acoustic kettle]

I mean 4 is not a bad card

It is hackable

[opaque ice]

Was about to mention hack

[cloud sinew]

poly 4 is better immediately

[opaque ice]

Get dusk maybe

[cloud sinew]

especially with double DNA

[opaque ice]

And put red seal

[hasty onyx]

Every time i use wheel of fortune i think of that one steam review that just said “1 in 4 my ass”

[cloud sinew]

Its 1 in 4 :3

[opaque ice]

Cuz its true. Its a scam.

[lunar zealot]

The other day i got 3 wheel hits in a row

[hasty onyx]

And i’m batman

[cloud sinew]

source?

[lunar zealot]

so i think you just have a skill issue

[mellow cypress]

luck is a skill

and you msut be a noob

😈

[hasty onyx]

I think ive got more soul cards than successful wheels

[lost vault]

"the wheel isnt 1 in 4" mfs when i kill them with hammers

[opaque ice]

I remember it working about 20 times

[mellow cypress]

thats because youre not gambling enough noob

[lunar zealot]

I'm foil
I'm holographic
I'm polychrome

the edition brothers

[lost vault]

something something psychology

[cloud sinew]

that isnt proof of anything besides you using wheel 153 times

[hasty onyx]

“The wheel isnt one in 4” mfs when i delete their shitty game and start ripping out their organs

[cloud sinew]

okay lets not

threaten people with bodily harm

[vocal rose]

bruh

[cloud sinew]

you too skinky

[lost vault]

my had

bad

[opaque ice]

I remember the exact number to which I it hitting

[lunar zealot]

holy shit has nobody noticed yet

[opaque ice]

Heh

[lost vault]

i have

[lunar zealot]

ok good

[lost vault]

:3

[lunar zealot]

Now pretend im still just lucky

[cloud sinew]

which is not proof, thats just you saying that happened

[lunar zealot]

wow chat im so lucky to get 3 wheel hits in a row

[opaque ice]

Still

I can have my bias

[shell dagger]

Imo “about 20” isn’t exact

[hasty onyx]

Heavenly ass constellation

[lost vault]

imo look at the game's code

[opaque ice]

Its dam near exact

[shell dagger]

k

[lunar zealot]

Wow chat three 1 in 4 chances in a row

am i right gang

im so lucky

[opaque ice]

Mhm

[lunar zealot]

this is a 1/64 chance

[mellow cypress]

guess the poker hand 🤤

[lost vault]

your joker order is suboptimal

rah!!

[cloud sinew]

& I have! Its 1/4 :3

[lost vault]

:o

[opaque ice]

Hehehehehheheh i love that cameo

[spare canopy]

What about the lucky edition?

[mellow cypress]

bahahahahaa

[opaque ice]

Oh no

He's going to monopolize cameo

[mellow cypress]

EROSION VALUE GUNNA GO STOOOOOOPID

[spare canopy]

Five flush

[opaque ice]

And cameo

[lost vault]

high card

[mellow cypress]

🍐

[opaque ice]

If every card the face card that means cameo always gets hit

[lost vault]

cameo

im crine

[mellow cypress]

ante4 btw

[lost vault]

close enough

:3

[hasty onyx]

Howse done that then

[opaque ice]

WITH 2 LEGENDARYS

Jesus

[mellow cypress]

I just need hung men

[mellow cypress]

😝

[lost vault]

meeee toooo

[mellow cypress]

que???

[opaque ice]

Or that one spectral that dystroys 5 cards

[hasty onyx]

I love using lots of hung men

[cloud sinew]

or grim or familiar or incantation

[deep fossil]

Irl too?

[mellow cypress]

immolate, but nah I am on plasma deck, cant get a copy of it

no 6th or seance

[lost vault]

usually its the other way around for me

[hasty onyx]

When did i mention the word balatro

[opaque ice]

Or use trading card or 6 sense

[cloud sinew]

dont make it sexual

[lost vault]

okay no more freaky

i am sorry

[mellow cypress]

those two actually way better just cos they add cards

[lost vault]

immolate is much more attractive

[deep fossil]

I was NOT the one that did that

[hasty onyx]

No officer it was all him

[opaque ice]

What's yalls favorite joker?

[lost vault]

it was you both

[lost vault]

the knife

[hasty onyx]

Hologram

[deep fossil]

Paradolia

[hot jackal]

Joker from persona 5 :D

[placid cave]

greenprint (jk cavendish)

[cloud sinew]

riff raff is one of them, hard to say a single joker

[lost vault]

knife or 8ball actually

:3

[opaque ice]

My fave is rocket

[lost vault]

riff raff is cool

[lost vault]

one of the best things about black deck is the riff raff value it can get

(trust$

)

[opaque ice]

I hated black deck so much

[lost vault]

i havent played it enough

[opaque ice]

It took me so long to finally win

[lost vault]

smh

[opaque ice]

I'm in america

Its 8:44 over here

[lost vault]

the question is

woukd a "white deck" be easier than black deck

[mellow cypress]

condolences

[lost vault]

-1 joker slot +1 hand

[placid cave]

When that black deck blue stake hits

[cloud sinew]

yes

[lost vault]

figures

[opaque ice]

Im ending my life

[hasty onyx]

Basically painted deck

[lost vault]

incorrect

[hasty onyx]

Dont do that you’ll die

[lost vault]

painted is handsize not hands

[cloud sinew]

painted deck is +2 handsize

[opaque ice]

Damm bro you right

[hasty onyx]

Still -1 jonkler and smth to do w hands

[lost vault]

2 handsize is better than 2 hands i think

idk

[opaque ice]

Honestly im not good at the game so.i just never skip blinds

[lost vault]

im biased!

[opaque ice]

I need money

[cloud sinew]

wait

[lost vault]

thats what giid players do

good

[lunar zealot]

Chat you'll never guess

[cloud sinew]

i dont get what youre saying

[lost vault]

uhh

[lunar zealot]

i dont think yall will ever know what my favorite joker is

[lost vault]

liike

overall

[acoustic kettle]

Is it baron

[lost vault]

+2 handsize gives you a lot more flexibility than +2 hands

+2 hands is just more pair slop which IN FAIRNESS i the meta rn

[hasty onyx]

If you were presented with poly brainstorm and poly blueprint what would you take

[cloud sinew]

blueprint

[opaque ice]

I've been playing the game forever yet I dont have satellite. I have barely gotten past a hundred dollars

[acoustic kettle]

Bluestorm

[primal epoch]

blueprint, for versatility

[lost vault]

both assuming i have the money

[mellow cypress]

+2hands can provide more money value without enhancements

[lost vault]

but otherwise blueprint is just better

[opaque ice]

Im missing a few jokers

[cloud sinew]

"or"

[lost vault]

oh

[primal epoch]

nah I think its like a Matrix pills situation

[lost vault]

maybe buffoon pack

in that case

the bloopy

[acoustic kettle]

The skip button for red card mult

[primal epoch]

lucky. cards.

[lost vault]

ok but handsize lets me run straights and thats fun

[mellow cypress]

🍐

[opaque ice]

Yeah

My main problem is that I can't figure out what to go for early game so I can't deck fix early enough

[hasty onyx]

Assuming you have $9 and an egg

[cloud sinew]

do you think blue deck is worse than painted deck

[lost vault]

well no i just like it more

[cloud sinew]

your egg is rental, you picked it up this shop.

[primal epoch]

just hope you get a good start, sometimes money just isn't in the cards

[opaque ice]

I love playing checkered deck then getting paint brush :)

[acoustic kettle]

Gold staked painted but never played blue so yes

[lost vault]

i guess 2 hands is better sobs and dies

[cloud sinew]

money is always in the cards, its just really fucking hard to find it.

[hasty onyx]

Alr fuck you i bought both blueprint and brainstorm so you cant have any

[lost vault]

if i have 9 dollars i cant afford either

[hasty onyx]

[primal epoch]

eg

[lost vault]

how much is in the egg

👀

[hasty onyx]

$8

[lost vault]

is that even enough

how much does polychrome add

[hasty onyx]

Polychrome blueprint is $15

[cloud sinew]

$5 buy value

[cloud sinew]

No

[lost vault]

wrong, blueprint is 10 dollars at base

[acoustic kettle]

Bluepritn is 10

[lost vault]

okay so no thats not enough

for either

[vital cliff]

Should I use a negative joker spec card if I get the chance here? Or would lower my hand size by 2. But I already have 18 card Han size… is it worth potentially getting another baron or mime?

[cloud sinew]

youd need $30 for both

[lost vault]

15 for one

9+5 is not 15

[hasty onyx]

Thats what i said

[acoustic kettle]

Open arcana and get hermit

[lost vault]

._.

[cloud sinew]

thats why you edited it

[hasty onyx]

Theres 4 moons

[hasty onyx]

Its a chocolate bar

$10

Called moon

[lost vault]

impossible, i would need showman for that, and no arcana pack has exactly 4 choises

choices

[cloud sinew]

jumbo/mega that has 4 of 5 as moons :3

[lost vault]

grah

[hasty onyx]

I give you polychrome blueprint and this is how i’m treated

[cloud sinew]

i cant afford it

[lost vault]

then whats the last one

[cloud sinew]

so its a dead slot

[cloud sinew]

anything else

[lost vault]

you didnt "give" me anything

you put it in the shop and didnt give enough money to afford it

[hasty onyx]

You have an egg

[atomic trout]

Riff Riff Raff Raff

[lost vault]

you put the gourmet chicken within smelling range but barely outside of eating range

[lost vault]

okay and you said its worth 5 dollars

[cloud sinew]

huge

[lost vault]

and i have 9

9+5 is 14

like

[cloud sinew]

true!

[lost vault]

the math is quite shrimple

[cloud sinew]

and 14 < 15

[hasty onyx]

$8

[lost vault]

honey

you edited that

i didnt see

and in that case like its obviously the blueprint

[reef oyster]

what should i repplace

[hasty onyx]

Finally bro that took like 6 minutes

[lost vault]

dont blame me

[hasty onyx]

Any sinful joker

[primal epoch]

how bad do you want to keep the suit jokers

[reef oyster]

Not bad at all

[primal epoch]

kill the least useful of the two

[cloud sinew]

blue stake rework:
Sticky Sticker, this joker is always left of another joker, chosen at random whenever you pick up the joker (& swap out the joker its stuck to)

[lost vault]

:o

[cloud sinew]

i might be cooking

[lost vault]

perhaps

[cloud sinew]

I have been cooking with my ideas lately

[lost vault]

how would this bode withhh the acorn boss

[cloud sinew]

Chalk, Grapefruit

[lost vault]

we nerfing the easies finisher 💔

[primal epoch]

nobody liked my potato chips idea ;-;

[lost vault]

what was grape fruit

[cloud sinew]

still stuck to that but to the right because its flipped

[cloud sinew]

#1466812156006629388

[glossy mortar]

Wow. Wildcards are genuinelly the most garbage thing to exist in this game.

[cloud sinew]

yep!

[primal epoch]

for sure

[glossy mortar]

Why the fuck do they just straight up stop working when they are debuffed. That is not how debuffing works.

[lost vault]

wowie

[cloud sinew]

that is how debuffing works, unless youre referring to flower pot's interaction

[lost vault]

that is exactly how debuffing works

[primal epoch]

the way that the Lost Edition mod fixes them is really nice

[glossy mortar]

Debuffing means they don’t trigger score or passive. Not that they turn into a stone card with no type.

[cloud sinew]

no it doesnt

[lost vault]

they still have a rank

[glossy mortar]

Like stone cards suck as is. Why would debuffing turn it into a stone card. Just keep it normal.

[light brook]

gang is this a good start

[primal epoch]

removing the suit seems dumb though

[primal epoch]

certainly

[strange abyss]

buy burgular to complete the build

[hot jackal]

How do I get legendary cards

[lost vault]

well the enhancement is debuffed, so it doesnt function

[cloud sinew]

"all abilities are disabled"

[pale wolf]

proof?

[full orbit]

That seems like a glitch

[light brook]

great with yorick you’re so right

[cloud sinew]

Its a challenge

[hot jackal]

Maf

[strange abyss]

Exactly!

[primal epoch]

yeah but it seems a little dumb that they're hit so hard

[strange abyss]

imagine all the econ you get from the extra hands

[lost vault]

well you see 14 = 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
and 15 = 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 and as you can see 15 has 1 extra 1 meaning it is larger

[glossy mortar]

That’s stupid. Beyond stupid. Honestly wildcards should just flat out be removed. Add something actually useful and unique.

[light brook]

so so true

[light brook]

plus temperance value

[lost vault]

theyre cool though

[eternal pumice]

[pale wolf]

i agree i think the game should handle the paradox the other way and have them unable to be debuffed by suit bosses

[lost vault]

kust make them debuff immune

lol

:3

[hot jackal]

You can also do 7+7=14

[mellow cypress]

oh no!

Anyway

[hot jackal]

And 14+1= 15

[primal epoch]

who even likes yorick anyways, extra hands are obviously so much better

[lost vault]

or 15-14=1

[strange abyss]

Now that's thunking with fire

[pale wolf]

i'm not convinced but i'll take your numbers for it

[lost vault]

the hardest boss blind!'

[cloud sinew]

i hope thunk has found a better buff that surprises me, but i would be happy with this

[lost vault]

yay

[primal epoch]

thats how Lost Edition fixes them

they actually feel more viable

[mellow cypress]

"To kill a noob"

[cloud sinew]

making them immune to suit debuffs makes sense, not all debuffs

[lost vault]

eh true

[strange abyss]

Runs dead buddy
Pack it up

[pale wolf]

tbh i just want them to be immune to debuff entirely so they have a little bit of a niche as safe on-scoring

[primal epoch]

no, not all debuffs

[cloud sinew]

as if theyre debuffed as faces the wild card being disabled doesnt make them not faces

[primal epoch]

suit debuffs is what I meant

[pale wolf]

they still wouldnt be good

tbh

[mellow cypress]

scored 95mil 🚬

[pale wolf]

only getting 1 from a lovers makes sure wild cards are too hard to be a true build

[mellow cypress]

runs dead next ante bozo

[primal epoch]

mediocre is better than terrible though

[cloud sinew]

suit debuff immune & 2?

[mellow cypress]

wait

[lost vault]

manifesting blueprint

[mellow cypress]

maybe

[lost vault]

📿

[pale wolf]

and this feels too powerful 😭

[mellow cypress]

I get out of the small blind

[pale wolf]

1 isnt enough but 2 is too much

[primal epoch]

why are they mogging me

[cloud sinew]

really? it seems good rather than being too powerful to me

[pale wolf]

it suc

[mellow cypress]

🗿

[cloud sinew]

id have to play with it to be sure

[minor portal]

1.5 cards can become wild

[pale wolf]

1 in 2 chance for second card to be wild

[primal epoch]

how does that work?

[pale wolf]

there we go fixed wild card by giving it 4 unique effects and a probability

[minor portal]

Balatro will find a way

[primal epoch]

I see

[cloud sinew]

average modded experience

[atomic trout]

Heart attack

[light brook]

you’ll never believe it (literally after this shop)

[primal epoch]

I was playing modded once and ended up getting like 3.5 hands and they just wouldn't score

[cloud sinew]

1 in 2root(3) chance to give 1 mult when a wild card is scored 🔥 /j

[light brook]

worst fumble oat

[lost vault]

what if we fixed wild cards by making a "super wild" enhancement that only appears if you use lovers on a wild card and the enhancement also has a wild rank and also the card gives all suit based effects ^2 values

[cloud sinew]

nah

[lost vault]

sang

dang

[cloud sinew]

thunk wont add wild ranks

[lost vault]

oh true

but everything else is fine

[manic zealot]

I replaced smiley with hallucination in the final shop before the ante 8 boss and both packs gave me zero tarots (:

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[primal epoch]

debatable, I fumbled this by forgetting to reroll the boss (invis duped bloodstone and I had a deck of lucky redseal king of hearts)

[lost vault]

^w^

[acoustic kettle]

Oh yeah making wilds be twice as effective is interesting

[cloud sinew]

wilds counting for all suit conditions at once would honestly like...

[round shadow]

well that's cool

[strange abyss]

Nice

[cloud sinew]

how do we feel about if flower pot worked with 1 wild card

[primal epoch]

I've been missing this run all day...

[lost vault]

sure why not sounds balanced

[acoustic kettle]

Would boost both flower pot and wild

[lost vault]

i mean seeing double works with 1 wild

[cloud sinew]

ya

and smeared

[lost vault]

and 1 wild procs all sinfuls at once

[manic zealot]

I would honestly be ok with it, flower pot sorely needs a buff

[lost vault]

it makes sense

[cloud sinew]

flower pot should work with one black one red smeared

[primal epoch]

yeah

flowerpot sucks rn

[light brook]

i don’t have pictures but i fumbled a run with photo chad, two s/b, trib, and negative dusk so i was scoring e26 by later in the run with decks fixing

[primal epoch]

ouch

I regularly fumble all my good runs lol

[light brook]

anyways i died to the plant because i hadn’t checked and picked up the directors cut which was in the shop that ante btw

[lost vault]

what is fp's theming

[primal epoch]

flower assortment

[cloud sinew]

more flower colours = prettier pot

[peak plinth]

Do i have enough value in my deck yet

[lost vault]

alrighty

[light brook]

more gold 🤑

[peak plinth]

Yessir🫡

[lost vault]

more purple seals 🤤 😵‍💫

[light brook]

can’t forget more blue!
