[dark cairn]

i'd rather have any other legendary joker in that case

[vocal rose]

photograph is useless on ITS own

[quartz ember]

glass time

[vocal rose]

trib isn't

[delicate tide]

It’s more consistent on its own for sure but also common to legendary dif so it better be

[ebon condor]

yeah

well

[unreal topaz]

i see a chad, i see a blueprint, so glass should work

[vocal rose]

once again

THAT was the original point that I was trying to dispute

[carmine path]

I have one glass card

I can try and get more I guess

[ebon condor]

wait what was

[carmine path]

Well one glass king lol

[tawdry rock]

okay goodbye awesome beautiful run

[delicate tide]

Well ofc if ur getting one photo compared to one trib w nothing else trib is better

[ebon condor]

that trib is better than photo in a vacuum?

well yeah obv but balatro is a game with more than 2 jokers

[delicate tide]

Insane controversial conclusion

[quartz ember]

what hand are you playing? probably like 2 glass can do it if you have base mult

[unreal topaz]

i take it back, 67 cards in the deck 😭

[dark cairn]

chicot makes runs easy because you never have to worry about any boss ever again (fuck you violet vessel)
yorick is consistent very fast scaling x mult
canio has the most absurd potential for a8 gs, 1 immolate or a couple hanged men is all you need and you're set, if you get pareidolia or trading card its a free win
perkeo is perkeo

[unreal topaz]

why so many

[ebon condor]

canio's issue is that hes kinda rng dependent to start doing things

[tawdry rock]

trib is awesome though

[ebon condor]

but he's good after like literally 1 hanged man

[vocal rose]

.

[ebon condor]

that was a joke lol

[dark cairn]

if you somehow go the whole run without finding 1 hanged man thats absurdly bad luck

[ebon condor]

it happens man

[vocal rose]

zero indication

but that is what I was basing my argument off of

[quartz ember]

not absurd but yea, it would be unfortunate

[vocal rose]

so boring

[dark cairn]

the one run i got canio on gold stake i got him to 10x mult because it was zodiac deck and i found like 5 hanged men

[shell dagger]

Take delgrat then

[delicate tide]

Take it and win

[unreal topaz]

nebula is probably good with grimbo honestly but yeah it's boring squared

[delicate tide]

I dare you !!!!

Follow thru with it being boring and win

[dark cairn]

ne-based-ula deck

you know its weird how i like most of the bad decks and dislike most of the good ones

[vocal rose]

well heres the misconception

nebula isnt that bad

[ebon condor]

nebula is fine

[delicate tide]

Me too man ghost and yellow are so goated imo

!!!!

[dark cairn]

yea i had no issues with it myself

[vocal rose]

its just a hive mind here to hate on nebula

[dark cairn]

i love telescope

[ebon condor]

the upside is pretty cool and the downside isnt the worst

[unreal topaz]

yeah, nebula is only one of the more difficult ones bc you dont get a head start

[dark cairn]

but everyone always groups it up with green plasma and black decks as like

the evil 4

[vocal rose]

yep

[unreal topaz]

it's not one of the most difficult

[delicate tide]

This whole server is a cooked hive mind and echo chamber of elitism sooo

[ebon condor]

3 ok decks vs spawn of satan

[dark cairn]

of said "evil 4" of decks the only deck i struggled with was black deck for obvious reasons

but ill admit i got hella lucka with plasma deck overall and my green deck GS run

[dark cairn]

fuckin' deserved it after how miserable my anaglyph deck and zodiac deck gold stake experiences went

[quartz ember]

80% of messages are ragebait or a message that someone else calls ragebait

[unreal topaz]

i mean it isnt that hard to win one plasma gold stake run, the hard part is winning consistently on plasma

[dark cairn]

im still baffled that i had a worse time with zodiac and anaglyph than black deck

[ebon condor]

ragebait

[delicate tide]

Me too lmao

I gave uo being serious after being too active

[vocal rose]

ive literally found 1 planet pack so far

stop this game

[dark cairn]

anyway i need to go sleep its 2:20 am

cya chat

[vocal rose]

1 in 7

[delicate tide]

Stopped being active mainly js cause the server was too annoying to deal with in terms of how active ppl treated new players

[vocal rose]

the wheel is one of the easiest boss blinds

but it annoys me the most

[carmine path]

Accursed Plant

[gloomy swallow]

this server is so much better than this and many other ones you have no idea

[unreal topaz]

same with bell

[gloomy swallow]

are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room

[delicate tide]

Nah I have an idea I was js particularly active here and was unfortunately part of the problem

[gloomy swallow]

top 5 scary things under the crib

[vocal rose]

the 1/7 hits like

5-6 times

and it brings me rage

[quartz ember]

into the square hole it goes

[vocal rose]

I think I take this

runner is only at +30 chips

[shell dagger]

Yeap

[unreal topaz]

seems powerful

on nebuler

[delicate tide]

I js stopped being active lol I was prolly prt of the issue then I js stopped talking and now uhh I pop in every bit

[delicate tide]

Yeha I would if you have chilsn

Chips

With nebula and such

[shell dagger]

Ignore button has flaws

[ebon condor]

doesnt that kinda ruin the point

[delicate tide]

Found a better use of my time was to stop sending messages too much it’s chill to see ppl for me

[shell dagger]

Makes conversations hard to follow and replies are weird

[ebon condor]

also it gives you the evil temptress button forever

[delicate tide]

Being less active is prolly more healthy anyway

Also ig I just did all I wanted to in Balatro so I just didn’t want to talk as much

[vocal rose]

I think it would only be more healthy if someone is actively engaging a lot and it affects their mental health in a bad way

[delicate tide]

C++^2 a no uncommons c++ and a nice little 50 gs streak was all I needed and then I got bored

[shell dagger]

50?

Tf

[vocal rose]

50 is crazy

[delicate tide]

Yeah it took a bit

[ebon condor]

dang thats impressive

one deck or rotating?

[vocal rose]

speaking of which

[delicate tide]

I lost a 33 26 etc

[vocal rose]

its your favorite combo

[royal bobcat]

mrow

[quartz ember]

what deck did you do

[delicate tide]

I mained ghost but I started fearing losing so I finished the last 10 on yellow

Rotating ain’t for me

[delicate tide]

YESSS

[quartz ember]

fair enough

[delicate tide]

goats

I’m pretty good at the game I just don’t like play anymore lol

[ebon condor]

maybe its not for me either ._.

[delicate tide]

I got my false ban in and now I’m done!!

[vocal rose]

canon event

[delicate tide]

Bro I just stay away from black deck

[ebon condor]

i really wanted to do gold stake gauntlet

[quartz ember]

mp arc time

[vocal rose]

I've gotten to 10 decks done on the C+ deathless

[ebon condor]

farthest i made it was checkered

[vocal rose]

like 5 times now

[delicate tide]

No uncommons black deck was so sad

[vocal rose]

and its so annoying since I KNOW I could easily get like 20+ just spamming blue deck

what the fuck

[delicate tide]

When I ended with 8 ball as my number 3 joker after completing the profile that’s how you know options are cooked

[ebon condor]

8 ball the goat dont even joke

[delicate tide]

Damnn that’s tough

[round crypt]

Really funny ante 1 loadout so far

[ebon condor]

why wasnt it no 1

[delicate tide]

I’ve never acfually tried a rotation

Mayb if I get back into the game I will

I’m a washed unc now

[gloomy swallow]

why is it just lines

[vocal rose]

its way more fun

[delicate tide]

Rebate and Chad

[ebon condor]

maybe you should try once the update drops

[gloomy swallow]

like its just all code

[vocal rose]

try C+ without dying

[tawdry rock]

compact mode..

[delicate tide]

I’ll be back for the upd fs

[vocal rose]

you might get it real quick

thats a fun challenge since there actual variety

[gloomy swallow]

😨

[subtle drum]

as much as i hate that build it does have some synergy

[delicate tide]

Brooo I get bored ima make some tweaker play in like green stake anaglyph and lose

[ebon condor]

i feel like itd just be so boring

[royal bobcat]

thats just gold stake gauntlet

[ebon condor]

like most of that time is spent on like white-blue

[delicate tide]

I’m done with challenge running for now atleast

No uncommons was enough

[vocal rose]

well

just unlock all

[royal bobcat]

u should do no commons

[quartz ember]

nah I would die on some white stake to greed

[ebon condor]

oh so thats just gsg then

[shell dagger]

Sounds rough

[vocal rose]

what

[ebon condor]

oh gold stake gauntlet is fun thats not that bad

[royal bobcat]

exactly

[delicate tide]

That’s probably easier imo

Prolly more resets early but less late

[shell dagger]

Pants resetting

[delicate tide]

Which is flipped for no uncommons

[royal bobcat]

early games probably VERY miserable

[ebon condor]

balatro c+ no commons no uncommons no rares

[vocal rose]

oh yeah

[fringe nebula]

excuse me WHAT

[ebon condor]

legendaries only

[vocal rose]

I guess I should be phrasing it that way

but I mean you still GET C+ technically

[shell dagger]

i wanna do gsg eventually but it sounds harder than anything ive done

[royal bobcat]

c+ sounds like you're going from white stake fresh file all the way to C+

[delicate tide]

Cause like for uncommons you can coast late but for no uncommons you basically have to play for a rare or cav

[royal bobcat]

which would be so ahhhh

[vocal rose]

yeah

[tawdry rock]

why were you recording at that very moment

[ebon condor]

dude i thought you got to 10 decks after like 40 hours of stake grinding 😭

[delicate tide]

Or glass

[vocal rose]

that would be so ass

[vocal rose]

fuck no 😭

[acoustic kettle]

No joker c++

[vocal rose]

that would be genuine torture

it was a doc challenge

[subtle drum]

am i slow

[vocal rose]

awhile back

[fringe nebula]

i went back to menu for time rewind so i can record this

[subtle drum]

what's so weird about that

[tawdry rock]

oh fun

[delicate tide]

It sounds like kinda cooked I don’t wanna play decks I don’t have fun on

[marsh mural]

I have a run right now (magic deck, black stake)
Ante 4
I have a triboulet with a sock and I own a single red seal king (and already made some more other kingd and queens)
I just found a baron in a shop
What do you guys think? Should I pivot or stay with triboulet?

[shell dagger]

fr

[fringe nebula]

vampire vagabond sinergy

[delicate tide]

Like atleast while streaking yellow and ghost I can sweat the game and have fun

[shell dagger]

i tried it a few times and got black plasma out of the way then died to like painted

[ebon condor]

i feel like id die if i spent 3 minutes on plasma deck

[subtle drum]

ohh

nice

[ebon condor]

like i can do black deck i hate plasma sm

[delicate tide]

It’s too much concentrated focus

[royal bobcat]

the only time i played endless for real was when i was at a friends place completely drunk and got perkeo ante 2

[delicate tide]

I’d do like 1-2 gs runs a day

But like idk I can’t lock in like that rn

[vocal rose]

its really fun going for it

but

[royal bobcat]

the worst part is that anaglyph is the penultimate deck

[peak plinth]

Funny

[vocal rose]

it gets boring if you just spam black deck and plasma for the first two

[royal bobcat]

youre almost then u got the vanilla deck

[delicate tide]

I got naneinf and I don’t think I’ve touched it since

[vocal rose]

which is why I don't do that

[delicate tide]

I js know id lose lol on those weird decks

I’m too yellow and ghost focused

Also idk if I know how to play with uncommons anymore

[unreal topaz]

real

[vocal rose]

im taking on the task of streaking nebula deck

[delicate tide]

Whyyyy

I glaze tarots I can’t deal with that

[near rune]

ecto or wraith in this case

[vocal rose]

because I glaze telescope

[royal bobcat]

id say neither but

[shell dagger]

Skip

[narrow drift]

i love easy telescope pair runs

[royal bobcat]

you do you

[unreal topaz]

could be ecto, i'd do neither

[delicate tide]

Prolly skip if you want ig you could take wraith but it’s not worth

[vocal rose]

I read this like drspectred

[unreal topaz]

ecto if you wanna do pairs or high card but i'd rather shoot for smth like 4oak where the hand size matters

[delicate tide]

Tarots are king 👑

[royal bobcat]

ecto with a mostly empty joker roster is crazy gamble

[delicate tide]

Pair deprived victim

[royal bobcat]

crazy BAD

[unreal topaz]

read it as intended then

[tawdry rock]

hermit being capped at $20 seems dumb

[near rune]

did wraith, got burned joker

[tawdry rock]

it should be $30

[unreal topaz]

yep

[vocal rose]

way too broken

[delicate tide]

20 dollars is a lot

[royal bobcat]

chat lets make the best tarot even better

[delicate tide]

Like a lot

[royal bobcat]

:)

[unreal topaz]

they should also uncap my temperance

[narrow drift]

is it worth it taking an ante 6 madness?

[vocal rose]

hermit can be 15 dollars and its still top 3 minimum

[royal bobcat]

sounds balanced

[unreal topaz]

i want double gift card and $100 temperance

[acoustic kettle]

No tarot c++

[tawdry rock]

there are very few moments where you have $50 in joker sell value

except for gift card yeah

[delicate tide]

Temp hermit uhh death I like fool and strength too

[patent sail]

[vocal rose]

idk I think I've gotten plenty

[delicate tide]

Hanged man I guess it’s pretty good

[vocal rose]

throw some mercuries my way

[unreal topaz]

anything that makes blue seals better is usually at the top

[delicate tide]

4oak build now chop chop

[quartz ember]

sure

[acoustic kettle]

Go a step further and no consumable c++

[vocal rose]

nope nope

[tawdry rock]

hey chat what does a flea and the eiffel tower have in common

they're both paris sites

Ba ha ha ha

[royal bobcat]

strength death hanged man are all really good deck fixing

[delicate tide]

Bahahahhahaha

Good one

[royal bobcat]

theres no bad deck fixing tarot except for fucking lovers

[delicate tide]

Yeah pretty much

[marsh mural]

Pivot or not? Whats your thoughts?

[royal bobcat]

we hate lovers on GOD

[unreal topaz]

they're used mostly to throw money down the blue seal bottomless pit

[tawdry rock]

no

absolutely not

[narrow drift]

but my stencils get worse

[quartz ember]

not

[marsh mural]

Yeah thought so too but wasnt quite sure thanks

[quartz ember]

but your madness gets better

[delicate tide]

Normal flush build 🫀

[tawdry rock]

toilet flush build

[unreal topaz]

its ante 4, work on getting your money up and deck put together before thinking about a baron

[delicate tide]

Aight it’s sleep time

[vocal rose]

uh oh

[unreal topaz]

you dont have to decide now

leave the slot for value

[delicate tide]

Glad game discussion is still here

[quartz ember]

it gets better after ante 7

[delicate tide]

Nvm I’m staying for this gs ending

⏳

[royal bobcat]

chat should C+++ be all achievements?

[vocal rose]

I have 6 hands but I DO NOT score 200k per hand

[royal bobcat]

THUNK ADD C+++ NOW

[vocal rose]

I need to lock in

[vestal copper]

c+++ should be full game run deathless

[tawdry rock]

honestly yeah

that would be really fun

[shell dagger]

What’s grimbo at

[vestal copper]

c++ deathless

[delicate tide]

Well the only hard achievements are the c and the ++es

[vocal rose]

93

[delicate tide]

I guess maybe challenges

[royal bobcat]

erm the last 3 challenges

[shell dagger]

ah you’ll be fiiiine

[tawdry rock]

that's like just c+++++++++++++ i think that's really really really really really really hard

[heady narwhal]

every joker sticker on every deck

[tawdry rock]

like insanely hard

[royal bobcat]

golden needle cruelty jokerless

[unreal topaz]

the others happen on the way to those mostly

[vestal copper]

cant get balala on phone 💔

[delicate tide]

Yeah but is that really worth a whole plus

[royal bobcat]

on every difficulty once at a time

[vestal copper]

just get 1000 photochads in a row and win

[vocal rose]

180k is my high end scoring per hand

[vestal copper]

trust me

[tawdry rock]

oh i didnt think about that

[vocal rose]

I need a little more

[tawdry rock]

good idea

[subtle drum]

yep, pretty much impossible, of course that didn't stop drspectred from doing it

[delicate tide]

What’s the build I forgot

[vestal copper]

did he do it

[acoustic kettle]

C++ in one run

[vocal rose]

madness pair green joker

[tawdry rock]

yes

gold stake c++ deathless all decks

[vestal copper]

🐐 wtf

[subtle drum]

yep, unbelievably

[royal bobcat]

i mean if you were to make a "platinum" style achievement, i'd call it c+++

[tawdry rock]

as a speedrun as well i believe

[vestal copper]

vro might actually be good at the game 😭

[unreal topaz]

yeah, also beat ante 10 a bunch of times in a row on his way there

[vocal rose]

I think i'll be fine

[vestal copper]

i gotta watch him more

[shell dagger]

i mean you get another x1.25 from madness this ante right

[acoustic kettle]

Big grimbo

[delicate tide]

Ig play for glass and steel

[vocal rose]

thats the thing

I havent found enough

I wasn't tarot holding properly

[unreal topaz]

bonus and stone might be better

[vocal rose]

nor thinking of those two as well in prep for violet vessel 😭

[unreal topaz]

icl

[delicate tide]

Smh!!!!

[subtle drum]

do i risk it all and sell the others to dupe the bp

[delicate tide]

Tarot glaze

[vocal rose]

WAIT

[delicate tide]

Is so valid

[shell dagger]

trans

[subtle drum]

what 😭

[acoustic kettle]

Trans

[tawdry rock]

negative eternal gift card would go crazy

[delicate tide]

Mime was in the shop

[heady narwhal]

trans

[unreal topaz]

blue seal seems too powerful to pass

[subtle drum]

i mean i'm not officially

[unreal topaz]

esp on black deck

[quartz ember]

always (if you want the funi loss)

[strange abyss]

is there anything in the shop for scoring?

[delicate tide]

Soo like holding the steel early for the 6 hands

[unreal topaz]

i see

[subtle drum]

chat why is everyone saying trans help

[vestal copper]

cis

[heady narwhal]

trance

[acoustic kettle]

Trans

[unreal topaz]

make a trans queen

[subtle drum]

OHHHH

[delicate tide]

It was also foil which could’ve been cool

[subtle drum]

lmao

[tawdry rock]

@ please rename trance to trans

[unreal topaz]

that matters

actually

like +30% score

[delicate tide]

Yeah that could’ve been a cool pull but the swash can prolly finish the job

[subtle drum]

why tho? i really want to dupe the bp

[subtle drum]

i forgor

i'll find out

[vocal rose]

zero reason to be concerned

[tawdry rock]

then DO it

[unreal topaz]

yeah the poly is cleaner

[tawdry rock]

DUPE your blueprint

[royal bobcat]

change strength's name dynamically to either be estrogen or testosterone based on what cards you use strength on

[tawdry rock]

HAVE Fun

[subtle drum]

bet

[delicate tide]

W clutch

Time to sleep

[subtle drum]

HOLY W

[delicate tide]

Good stuff Zoahl

[strange abyss]

[tawdry rock]

Im AWESOME and ALWAYS right

[strange abyss]

The ever reliable bloodstone

[unreal topaz]

[subtle drum]

[vestal copper]

gambling is fun

[subtle drum]

should i get the acrobat just in case

[unreal topaz]

yes

[strange abyss]

yes

[subtle drum]

ight

[tawdry rock]

yea

[vestal copper]

yeah

[subtle drum]

ty chat

[unreal topaz]

do you trust bloodstone?

like

[vestal copper]

no

[unreal topaz]

i dont

[tawdry rock]

i do

❤️ bloodstone

[vocal rose]

amazing start???

[subtle drum]

i do

[strange abyss]

I Don't

[tawdry rock]

you are

[subtle drum]

not bad at all

[royal bobcat]

walkie tankie

[vestal copper]

i see rebate i say peak

[strange abyss]

10-4 my beloved

[tawdry rock]

there was one run where i had a bloodstone without a dice and i shit you not every single heart flush it triggered on every card for 3 antes straight till it decided not to trigger on one card and continued its streak right after

[subtle drum]

yeah rebate is goated

[delicate tide]

Blessing you up

[subtle drum]

i don't take eternal rebate unless it's enhanced tho

[vocal rose]

yeah this run is already shining

+10 mult and rebate

[vocal rose]

thats not good

[unreal topaz]

i take it if i haven't taken an eternal money generator already

[vocal rose]

you should always take rebate

[acoustic kettle]

Eternal rebate is always a cop

[vocal rose]

I take it if its eternal RENTAL

[shell dagger]

i take it even if it has the rental enhancement

[green dirge]

just beat gold stake with this bunk ass build

[unreal topaz]

all your other jokers become higher quality when you take eternal rebate

[tawdry rock]

you mean denhancement

[unreal topaz]

even eternal rental rebate

[acoustic kettle]

Eternal perishable rental rebate could exist and i'll take it

[subtle drum]

r we fucking serious

[strange abyss]

Excellent build

[tawdry rock]

NOOO

[unreal topaz]

black deck moment

[acoustic kettle]

Copy acrobat

[subtle drum]

ong

[acoustic kettle]

[tawdry rock]

oh yeah

[vocal rose]

copy acrobat

[tawdry rock]

copy acrobat

[subtle drum]

ok

both?

[tawdry rock]

and uhhh

yes

ofc

tf

[subtle drum]

k

[light lagoon]

is selling cavendish for brainstorm optimal

[sweet pollen]

getting an insane run in art class

[tawdry rock]

try and play the pair

i think it might be the best here?

[vocal rose]

tbh?

[tawdry rock]

no idea

[shell dagger]

not really, you might get plant

[royal bobcat]

yes

[shell dagger]

in which case cav is better

[subtle drum]

nope

[tawdry rock]

consult with other balatrologists

[subtle drum]

omfg

[light lagoon]

oh true

[vocal rose]

I think I take this

[light lagoon]

ty

[royal bobcat]

plant isnt reaaaal

[vocal rose]

I can afford it with rebate econ

and its an easy 2x

[subtle drum]

i haven't unlocked seeing double so i wouldn't know, but it doesn't seem that good

[vocal rose]

2x is very good

[subtle drum]

yeah but i don't like conditionals

[quartz ember]

well, for a pair hater its probably not as good

[subtle drum]

it's like flower pot, 2x is very good yes, but it comes at a huge price

[vocal rose]

hmmmm

[vestal copper]

souble is decent

[strange abyss]

you hate to see it

[vocal rose]

no it is not like flower pot

at all

[quartz ember]

but the conditional here is not really a condition at all, its so easy

[vestal copper]

its way better than flot

[vocal rose]

the condition is so way easier

[vestal copper]

true

[acoustic kettle]

C2

[vestal copper]

pair slop friendly

[subtle drum]

again, i haven't had a chance to try it so take that with a grain of salt

[quartz ember]

as I understand you like flushes, so its understandable not to like it in that case

[vestal copper]

its just the duo but uncommon ngl

[subtle drum]

yeah

i mean

i don't really get it

[acoustic kettle]

Fluh

[light lagoon]

i got planted

[subtle drum]

of course i like flushes

[light lagoon]

this game is not real

[vestal copper]

there is only flush slop and pair slop

all others are hated

[light lagoon]

i didn't take brainstorm tho so im good lol but damn

[subtle drum]

fuck the plant

[acoustic kettle]

Should've sold the photo for brainstorm

[quartz ember]

true tbh

[vestal copper]

is a chad

[quartz ember]

justice

[subtle drum]

is evil

[vestal copper]

photochad eviscerator

[acoustic kettle]

Still two bp with a cavendish

[vestal copper]

wisdom

[acoustic kettle]

Surely you win

It's a 27x mult

[strange abyss]

It smells a face card build 5 antes away

[subtle drum]

i'm actually gonna cry... if double blueprint bloodstone doesn't work nothing will

[vestal copper]

the plant always knows

[vocal rose]

shhhh

people dont know that

the plant is really easy to work around with photochad...

[subtle drum]

coincidentally just like the run i shared earlier

triple bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

Even without glass though

[subtle drum]

essentially

[acoustic kettle]

[subtle drum]

how

[acoustic kettle]

Just make glass numbers

One or two

[vocal rose]

glass numbered cards

[acoustic kettle]

And you're safe

[subtle drum]

that's assuming u have glass cards

[acoustic kettle]

Make

[vestal copper]

[vocal rose]

you make them

[subtle drum]

wait wdym make them

am i slow

[acoustic kettle]

Make glass numbers

[vocal rose]

you know the justice tarot card?

[subtle drum]

ohh justice

gotcha

[acoustic kettle]

Or even get one from a standard pack

[subtle drum]

that requires thinking ahead tho

[subtle drum]

which is not my specialty

lmao

[vocal rose]

this card

[quartz ember]

esp if you have bp/bs glass+chad is very free

[acoustic kettle]

One whole ante to prepare if you didn't pre prepare

[subtle drum]

yeah ik i'm just a bit slow

[acoustic kettle]

Wait

So is it

Golden stickers showman😎

A usless one at that

[vocal rose]

holy fuck

[acoustic kettle]

Afterpare

I lost the plot

[subtle drum]

paredolia mentioned

[vocal rose]

NEVER MIND

madness run again

[subtle drum]

huge w

[acoustic kettle]

That's mad

[peak plinth]

I love a madness with eternal jokers

[subtle drum]

i was gonna say i was a bit concerned about how many eternals u had but nvm i take it all back, this is working out haha

[vocal rose]

well the eternals was fine

since walkie was keeping me alive and giving me good scoring, seeing double is end game scoring, and rebate is just

rebate

[vestal copper]

madness white stake

trust

[subtle drum]

yeah i'm maybe a bit overly cautious with eternals

[vocal rose]

probably

[patent sail]

[royal bobcat]

probably doable bc its white stake

[vestal copper]

probably

[patent sail]

riff raff maybe

[vestal copper]

[unreal topaz]

mail in rebate moment

[patent sail]

🐈

[vestal copper]

rebate with bp

[vocal rose]

heres a good thing to learn

put devils on cards you want recreated

even though I cant discard the purple seal I get value from it 🙂

[royal bobcat]

yeah like making glass blue seals could be big

cuz you want to copy blue seals and glass cards

and that would take twice as many deaths

or putting a blue seal on a polychrome card

yeah sure it sounds counterintuitive

but it's more efficient

[subtle drum]

agreed

i do this lol

[vocal rose]

yeah I think thats a big deck fixing skill that people will benefit immediately from

[subtle drum]

it makes it really awkward to play but the way i see it, they can go either way

[tall owl]

teehee

[subtle drum]

damnnn

[royal bobcat]

hacking my rebate

[subtle drum]

imagine a wee joker with that too

[royal bobcat]

storming my rebate

[royal bobcat]

wouldnt do much

iirc

[subtle drum]

wdym

it's perfect for that

[royal bobcat]

chips scaling would be less interesting than another copy of blueprint, brainstorm, hack or idol

[subtle drum]

yeah ig

[marsh dove]

I know it’s not optimal but it’s so tempting

[royal bobcat]

especially in a flush five build where you get 40 chips a planet or something

[royal bobcat]

why would it not be optimal

[acoustic kettle]

Poly madness

Go for it

[royal bobcat]

poly madness shop 1 is fucking op

[marsh dove]

I usually don’t like madness because you then have to skip most good jokers you find later

[vocal rose]

jesus christ

why do you always give me this

[subtle drum]

fr madness is trash unless we're talking eternals

[tall owl]

yooooo

i have too many brainstorms lmao

[subtle drum]

holy

u just casually beating my pb

[tall owl]

when i find a blueprint im selling one

cause this is dumb lol

well

yk lol

[subtle drum]

also idol is so weird... useless until that one in a million deckfixing run and then broken

like LocalUnc what were u thinking

[tall owl]

its really good to go after with vagabond

thats how i got this run

lol

[vocal rose]

holy shit

this build of all things just beat vv

[subtle drum]

"how much money do u have?"

the sticker blends in really well

[oak axle]

:c

[vocal rose]

rip my money

[subtle drum]

i'm homophobic but i'm also bi so it's ok

[oak axle]

Should I take?

[tawdry rock]

can someone get 2 madnesses on white stake so we can bet on a madness to die

[oak axle]

Imagine Another anhk

[tawdry rock]

you can only benefit

[subtle drum]

screw it, why not

[tall owl]

got another double tag and found a hiker so until i find a blueprint im using it lol

[oak axle]

?

[vocal rose]

it all turned out okay

[oak axle]

Do I take it or not

[tawdry rock]

yes..

[subtle drum]

or yk regret it but i still stand by my point

[subtle drum]

yes

[tawdry rock]

hey guys lets taxidermy a human

[subtle drum]

good idea

who's first on the chopping block

[tawdry rock]

i think uhhhhh

hmmmm

probably uhhhh

like ummmm

[subtle drum]

localthunk... for creating this beautiful evil game

[tawdry rock]

hes not dead though

[subtle drum]

oh

[tawdry rock]

at least i hope not

[subtle drum]

he's online

[tawdry rock]

we havent heard from him since yesterday

[subtle drum]

so

yeah

[tawdry rock]

yeah but he could've had a stroke at his desk

[oak axle]

Hmmmm What do I roll

[tawdry rock]

discord doesnt detect death

[subtle drum]

saw him in #🎙・server-chat earlier

[tawdry rock]

couldve died since then

[oak axle]

Fuck it's not eternal

I drawed a negative Burnt joker

😭

[subtle drum]

discord in 2046 will detect ur pulse

[vocal rose]

holy synergy

[boreal cargo]

Does it make sense to buy bad vouchers to make them not reappear again or are they not showing up again until every other voucher has been seen?

[vocal rose]

crazy use of incantation

[vocal rose]

vouchers can reappear if not purchased

[boreal cargo]

So if I don't purchase let's say playing card voucher, it could reappear every ante?

Against all odds obviously

[vocal rose]

on paper yes

[strange abyss]

hypothetically yeah

but its unlikely

[boreal cargo]

Okay thanks 🙂 Was wondering about that all evening long after watching the DrSpectred stuntman naninf run with his hunting for good vouchers in the second run

[vocal rose]

okay gg

license is already up

[oak axle]

Do I take this gang?

[tawdry rock]

i love campfire

[vocal rose]

nope

[tall owl]

the build rn

i cant find a blueprint for the life of me 😭

[royal bobcat]

bro has 4 brainstorms

hes begging for real

[tall owl]

ive spent at least 2k trying to find a blueprint bro 😭

[hasty crest]

BRO WHYYYYYYYY

[tawdry rock]

where wee

and polychrome

[tall owl]

there was never a wee

[vocal rose]

oh my god

the game just handed me a win

[tall owl]

its been less than 2 lol

[polar abyss]

ante 23, and no boss reroll vouchers 🙁 death by the needle

[fringe nebula]

chat i just saw perishable rental negative blueprint in the shop

[vocal rose]

how is this death

[subtle drum]

how tf

how did u get to ante 23 that's insane

[polar abyss]

I get to naneinf most games...its plasma whitestake

[subtle drum]

most games?

no way

[polar abyss]

ya probably about 80-90%

[subtle drum]

how are u real

[oak axle]

Gang do I take

[vocal rose]

probably

[polar abyss]

my card stats are pretty much all naneinf builds

[tall owl]

my soder blew up :<

[subtle drum]

how is blueprint ur most used

[tall owl]

ANOTHER SODER

[subtle drum]

wtf

[polar abyss]

because normally you have multiple blueprints and brainstorms, they all add to the totals

[tall owl]

its not like it matters anyways

im dead lol

[subtle drum]

"normally"

as if it's that easy

[polar abyss]

normally for naneinf runs

[subtle drum]

so what cheats did u use

[polar abyss]

none, zero mods even, its pure vanilla...i have just played alot

[tawdry rock]

blueprint is literally my second most used

[subtle drum]

uh huh

[tawdry rock]

its not that hard really

[fringe nebula]

the cheat is called showman and invisible mod

[tall owl]

of course

[subtle drum]

i'm speechless

[tawdry rock]

its also "rounds completed", and since blueprint is really good it usually gets you through a lot of rounds

[tall owl]

of course i get polychrome when im gonna die

so sigma

[subtle drum]

that statistically doesn't make sense

[tawdry rock]

.

[subtle drum]

yeah even taking that into account

[shell dagger]

it makes sense to me

[tall owl]

ngl the most surprising joker in there is sixth sense

lol

[shell dagger]

i have blueprint as my most used as a result of a few endless runs

[subtle drum]

fr it's so ass

[tall owl]

oh no not cause its bad

cause you use it for like 4-8 rounds and throw it away

[tawdry rock]

sixth sense is goated what are you talking about

[tall owl]

it really is

[subtle drum]

nah

[polar abyss]

sixth sense is very important part it gives you ecto

[tall owl]

dude only plays ghost deck

[subtle drum]

ur 6s disappear and then what

me? i play every deck

[tall owl]

either that or theyre trolling

[subtle drum]

no i'm serious

[tall owl]

cause no way lol

[subtle drum]

bruh

[oak axle]

6th sense with dna

[polar abyss]

I pretty much solely play plasma deck these days

[subtle drum]

even then

[tall owl]

i used to solely play plasma but im starting to get back into ghost

[subtle drum]

so mid

[royal bobcat]

6th sense my goat

FOR REAL

[oak axle]

6th goated thought

[tawdry rock]

6th is awesome

[polar abyss]

yep, don't underestimate the importance of 6th sense

[tawdry rock]

i do think shiba's a little new to the game though

[subtle drum]

are we deadass

[tawdry rock]

it takes time to fully grasp how awesome the guy is

[subtle drum]

i have 630 hours

[tall owl]

easy deckfixing (especially with strengths) and the chance to get aura, red seal, immolate and ankh

[tawdry rock]

nevermind then

[subtle drum]

kms

[polar abyss]

in that case you should know for naneinf builds 6th sense is what you want

[subtle drum]

i've never had any success with it

[polar abyss]

you should try its significantly easier then you would think

[subtle drum]

the thing is

i lose no matter what

[tall owl]

so you dont like the card cause you have bad luck

[royal bobcat]

sixth sense doesnt give you success

[tall owl]

its still easy deckfixing tho

[subtle drum]

no i have a skill issue and i'm tired of denying it

[royal bobcat]

but it helps

[subtle drum]

no matter what i do

i lose

[polar abyss]

sixth sense nearly always pays off in the long run..however often a few antes before it pays off

[tall owl]

630 hours of continuously losing is insane pls get checked out for being a masochist 😭

[subtle drum]

idk my brain just be like that

[dire sage]

mom: no, my son is not an adrenaline addict

son:

[subtle drum]

ts why i love pareidolia

[subtle drum]

that's enough balatro today i'm losing my mind

real

[tall owl]

gg

[subtle drum]

i envy you

[tall owl]

ngl id just say focus more on deckfixing than you think you need to cause its really important

[subtle drum]

i never get a chance to deckfix

before i die

[polar abyss]

What difficulty are you playing?

[subtle drum]

black deck orange stake rn

[polar abyss]

and what deck?

[tall owl]

oh its black deck

yeah thatll happen

[subtle drum]

i hate ts

i'm crine

[tall owl]

everything makes so much sense now 😭

[subtle drum]

eternal free dna yeah or nah

[tall owl]

too early

[polar abyss]

masochist confirmed, surprised ont gold stake

[tall owl]

well

[subtle drum]

nah i have these issues with every deck lol

[tall owl]

i mean its free but at the same time you have zero scoring jokers

youll prob die next round if you take it and use it

[polar abyss]

an extra slot is only useful if you have good jokers

[subtle drum]

omfg

L tarots

[polar abyss]

your 2 rounds in, limited money, and probably nothing good to clone, it's a deck filler

[tall owl]

id say stone would maybe help you get through with a three of a kind or something and an extra hand or two

[subtle drum]

i didn't even take the stone

[tall owl]

but then again its 52 cards

[subtle drum]

free coaching

let's go

aaaaaand game over as usual

[tall owl]

yea

[subtle drum]

LOCALUNC GIVE ME SCORING JOKERS

[polar abyss]

at the start my goal is always to destroy as many cards as possible, normally aim to get somewhere around 35 cards which is enough for the econ jokers

[dire sage]

chat what does this actually do?

[tall owl]

nothing?

[dire sage]

no seriously what does it do

[tall owl]

fr tho

[polar abyss]

nothing now...something later

[somber barn]

Try building a deck with the half joker, then once you've got flat mults, aim for x??? Mults

[subtle drum]

hehe

[tall owl]

if you buy it the second one is an extra joker slot

[dire sage]

wait you mean if i come across the voucher again it gives me an extra joker slot if i buy it

[subtle drum]

except antimatter almost never appears

[subtle drum]

yep

[tall owl]

probably because you skipped for a free shop which i would do if it was the very first one but not the second one (into the boss blind)

[subtle drum]

oh i literally always take that tag

[tidal pawn]

Basic bitch build

[subtle drum]

same with the other tags i take

i always take them

[polar abyss]

once you've bought it 10 times in different games (unless you save scum) then you unlock antimatter which gives you an extra joker slot, the antimatter will then appear sometime after you buy the voucher again assuming you survive enough antes

[subtle drum]

and the ones i don't take, i never take

[royal bobcat]

on its own it does nothing but it does let you have access to its upgraded version which gives you an extra joker slot (after buying 10 times on your save file)

[subtle drum]

if that even makes sense

[royal bobcat]

Buy blank 10 times to unlock antimatter
To get antimatter in a run you need to purchase blank first

thats the shortened version

[polar abyss]

free stuff in the shop isnt that useful in higher stakes as too often its not what you want and something you cant take anyway

[subtle drum]

yeah

good point

idk man i'm cooked

mentally rn

lol

[polar abyss]

imho the only good skip for ante1 and ante2 is investment tag

[royal bobcat]

investment tag, pair orbital tag

uhh

coupon can be okay

cuz of free packs

[tall owl]

i never thought of the orbital tags as a good early skip but it makes a lot of sense lol

[royal bobcat]

i don't think they can be early skips

[tall owl]

its one of those things i just glance over ig

[royal bobcat]

but if they can they'd be worth it

[polar abyss]

I cant recall if I've ever taken an orbital and it be beneficial

[royal bobcat]

3 planets? thats big

now its very rng

cuz you need the right one

[polar abyss]

your sacrificing a shop and a round for it

however I'm a solely investment early, mid-late game double tags and vouchers

[royal bobcat]

skipping for a double tag seems wayyyyy worse than an orbital

the orbital isn't speculative

[polar abyss]

I'm always playing for the naneinf, so double tag is always useful

[royal bobcat]

the touble tag is just "uhh surely i get a voucher skip"

to most people late game is ante 7

so i was confused

[subtle drum]

WE'RE GOING BLOODSTONE AGAIN WISH ME LUCK

[royal bobcat]

stop doing this to yourself

don't you ever learn

?

[wary zodiac]

its 2 am, i ankhed a stencil, killing a perkeo, and then also lost anyways ❤️

do not play balatro sleep deprived

[royal bobcat]

unlucky

[wary zodiac]

5k .,,,

i should've taken that supernova

😭

[royal bobcat]

yup

[tall owl]

starting another run teehee

[subtle drum]

i learn based on experience

and experience tells me that bloodstone is good

[oak axle]

Mid

[twin rune]

In terms of skip tags Top Up has saved a run once or twice for me when early shops have been abominable

[polar abyss]

round 3 idol, thats a long game

[subtle drum]

thankyou for the tech support

[tall owl]

i got it from a judgement lol id never buy it this early

[lost vault]

we cam all agree double is the worst skip tag though righ

[subtle drum]

hold up let me check which one that is rq

oh nah

i love that one

esp with negative tag

[lost vault]

hello i would like to skip a blind for
nothing

[tall owl]

standard tag exists 💔

[subtle drum]

but it's not nothing

[lost vault]

na negative tag lowk useless 95% of the time

[subtle drum]

it's blueprint if it was a tag

[lost vault]

blue seals and purple seals exist

[tall owl]

yeah

still a chance of getting absolute stupidity

[lost vault]

the problem with double tag is that you need to skip TWO blinds to get use outta them

[lost vault]

same goes for negative tags

[lost vault]

theyre fine if u get them from cola tho

[tall owl]

double tags are actualy crucial for some naneinf runs too lol

[lost vault]

maybe like one strat yeah

[tall owl]

sometimes you gotta take them and theyre really good for then you find a voucher skip

[lost vault]

oh uea voucher skip

forgot

but naneinf runs dont skip for doubles, they get them with colas

[tall owl]

theyre just really good especially if your run is going late game

[lost vault]

cola is basically just 3 dollars for a double tag

[tall owl]

since you do usually get to a point where its not your jokers that are holding you back

[lost vault]

which is a pretty small cost compared to an average tag cost

when u said that tho i thought you meant juggle tag naneinf

which is probably a thing idk

[subtle drum]

so

i still can't believe y'all think bloodstone is bad

i just like

what???

[lost vault]

consistency is key in balatro

bloodstone is not consistent

[tall owl]

its not bad on paper until it only procs once or twice

[lost vault]

thats really all there is to it

[subtle drum]

jimbo best joker lol

[lost vault]

well no, consistency is key, but it isnt everything

[tall owl]

johnathan jimbo my beloved ❤️

[lost vault]

you need a good balance of power and consistency

[subtle drum]

yeah

[lost vault]

too much consistency becomes redundant but if you neglect it you have a solid chance of just whiffing your run

[surreal pier]

Balatro is making me want to play actual poker

Guh

[tall owl]

going all in and the dealer just hits you with the

[twin rune]

Oh, I have had a run saved a grand total of one time by skipping for a mega buffoon pack, but I am only considering this when the desperation I am feeling is utterly soul crushing

[surreal pier]

Like my biggest obstacle for playing poker was not knowing the hands hierarchy

[pastel merlin]

U should poker is the best

what got me into balatro lol

[royal bobcat]

balala doesnt use real hands hierarchy

not fully at least

[surreal pier]

It doesn't? 😭

[subtle drum]

real

[lost vault]

the premise behind balatro is what got me into it yea

[surreal pier]

Where's the differences

[lost vault]

like

[royal bobcat]

i know because i checked and it wasn't that order

[subtle drum]

cutie

[lost vault]

a ROGUELITE

about

POKER

that sounds wacky

[lost vault]

stawp >.<

[surreal pier]

Lemme look it up

[subtle drum]

no hehe

[lost vault]

;p

[royal bobcat]

straight is under flush and full house

[twin rune]

Beyond the inherent inconsistency, it also asks you to make five card hands to realise its potential which is most often not the way to go on gold stake

[subtle drum]

wait how old r u

[lost vault]

18

[subtle drum]

oh ok im 17

[lost vault]

hmmm

[subtle drum]

idk man

[surreal pier]

Oh, I see

[subtle drum]

5 card hands r goated

i will die on this hill
