wheel is actually secretly 1/2 and yall are just unlucky

[tawdry rock]

its actually secretly 1 in 1 it just doesnt like you guys

[analog estuary]

wheel is not actually a wheel

[serene forge]

you need a very specific setup with baron

[marsh swan]

The wheel is actually 1/1 but only works on perishable jokers

[weary idol]

Secretly true. But 1/3 for me. I feel I get so lucky with it

[serene forge]

e308 is a very very very very big number

[tawdry rock]

more than the number of atoms in the observable universe actually

[serene forge]

if psychic didn't kill you you might have had a chance

[patent sail]

still less mult than flower pot gives

[tawdry rock]

FAct

[analog estuary]

wait until you see my wins to losses ratio

[marsh swan]

Just get 5 negative jugglers

[tawdry rock]

why are you playing flush fives

[serene forge]

you need baron mime 4 copy jokers and retcon to roll into an ante 25+ serpent as well as a burglar during that blind

[weary idol]

My highest this run was e46. I had a quite a few more rounds in me

[patent sail]

high card 😭😭😭

[tawdry rock]

also get some copy balance

[patent sail]

you need high card

[serene forge]

read the boss

[analog estuary]

[tawdry rock]

copy baron with the brainstorms

[marsh swan]

He's pivoting into idol bro

[patent sail]

[tawdry rock]

[tawdry rock]

[marsh swan]

Just get psychic on ante 1

[molten thicket]

[patent sail]

me bro seems like a shady individual, can i really trust him?

[analog estuary]

@weary idol you need retcon voucher to deal with this type of stuff, 1 ecto 1 antimatter (4 bp/bs, cant be baron copy or mime copy) 1 baron 1 mime 1 juggler, will need like 50 (more or less) steel red seal kings into serpent

[tawdry rock]

trust

[analog estuary]

[tawdry rock]

i vouch

[patent sail]

bait

[drifting gorge]

certified [Observatory]

[autumn star]

I'm having a bad feeling

[analog estuary]

no plasma baron is always a sign to close the game

[patent sail]

hold R to make baron free

[analog estuary]

press alt f4 to make yourself free

[safe flower]

Huh. Ok

[analog estuary]

hormt

[strange abyss]

my bad I was not aware

[patent sail]

he transitioned and is actually a she now, SHE is actually with us

[strange abyss]

my condolences

[tawdry rock]

it is a VERY sensitive matter

EXTREMELY

[tawdry rock]

lies

[analog estuary]

was hard to break up but i had to

[tawdry rock]

so sad..

[patent sail]

🛌

[tawdry rock]

ok if you insist

[safe flower]

I have a photochad addiction

[strange abyss]

it's just that good

[tawdry rock]

presentimage got into a very heated argument with someone very very high in the government

[analog estuary]

how you even bought more ice cream than blueprint

[patent sail]

yeah government seems to be high lately

[tawdry rock]

and was reportedly (rumored) to be eaten by the ceremonial dagger

AND got eaten by madness

at the same time

it was very very sad

[safe flower]

I do a lot of white stake plasma

[patent sail]

they had a perishable sticker on them

[tawdry rock]

don't we all

[patent sail]

i dont

im actually rental

[safe flower]

I have a rental stick

[analog estuary]

you know thats unhealthy for your kidneys dont you

[tawdry rock]

this guy's not even on orange stake

[strange abyss]

I'm Don't

[dawn sedge]

how did gros michel survive that many rounds

[analog estuary]

i was born with mine

[tawdry rock]

i dont know how everyone in the balatro community somehow ends up with photochad being their most used despite not having many photochad runs at all

its just such a powerful entity its always most used

[analog estuary]

photo is good chad is meta

[autumn star]

It's not fake

[analog estuary]

dont need to be photochad

[patent sail]

i havent had a photochad run in a while

ima look at my stats

[tawdry rock]

watch

[analog estuary]

look inside then more often

[tawdry rock]

it WILL be photochad

[autumn star]

Now there are two of us.

[tawdry rock]

looks inside

its up to ashy to continue this joke

[analog estuary]

for a split second i thought no one would get it

[patent sail]

green joker stuntman yaoi

[tawdry rock]

Wht

[analog estuary]

ya what

[tawdry rock]

that is NOT how the joke goes

[strange abyss]

You're heard of photochad but have you seen rebatechad?

[weary idol]

You don’t highcard e numbers?

[strange abyss]

807 eggs

[analog estuary]

more golden than photo is diabolical

[safe flower]

I've never seen econ addiction but this is it

[patent sail]

baronmime naneinfs are usually with high card?

[strange abyss]

I love money what can I say

[tawdry rock]

i made the unfortunate mistake of looking inside

[earnest pelican]

Hanging Chad works with so many different builds and is a common, so it's basically guaranteed to be in someone's top 10. Photo is x2 your base mult and most people who play the game start off by spamming flushes and complaining about The Plant lol.

[autumn star]

Beginners

[patent sail]

i looked OUTSIDE

[analog estuary]

lemme check my mobile stats (game so good gotta play it in 2 devices)

[tawdry rock]

what the fuck

[safe flower]

Pants and squareman

[tawdry rock]

photo isnt even there

[analog estuary]

still there

[tawdry rock]

pair spamming more frequently recently

[weary idol]

I didn’t have directors

[earnest pelican]

I was curious about the top 10 on my 2nd profile since I'm going for C++ again

[tawdry rock]

i hope to one day get the stench of jupiter out of my most used

[patent sail]

green

so based

[strange abyss]

You and I aren't too different

Also square joker being that high

[patent sail]

we all love squoker

[weary idol]

So I sold juggler earlier. I need to work out how to play it in late game. Was hoping for a bean

[tawdry rock]

if YOUR tarot cards most used doesn't have hermit in the top 2 you are doing something very wrong

[analog estuary]

its always there

[earnest pelican]

I think this screenshot alone shows that I got a lot of experience in gold stake lol

[strange abyss]

I really am a pair merchant

[patent sail]

as you can see

[analog estuary]

cant be true if there aint no wheel top 1

[patent sail]

keep gambling

[analog estuary]

wont even show mine

half my runs at my phone were to naneinf

2 million plutos

[patent sail]

environmental storytelling

[analog estuary]

ghost deck abuser

[earnest pelican]

Actually true, I'm shameful

[strange abyss]

I like how flush tends to be somewhere in the top 10

[patent sail]

my first gold sticker

[earnest pelican]

Lemme check my main account

[analog estuary]

was my second with 2 jokers whole game lmao

i love stencil madness

[strange abyss]

Hex isn't even in my top 10

[patent sail]

best hand to start out the run lowk

then pivot to pairs

[earnest pelican]

lmao

[strange abyss]

To be fair I don't play ghost deck that often

[earnest pelican]

I have done nothing but high score runs for a long while since I got C++

[patent sail]

blueprint and brainstorm are kissing AND copying chad

[analog estuary]

i remember having soul top 1 for a while lol

[patent sail]

thats what i call a build

[earnest pelican]

wheel still low

but it's likely heavily skewed by all my naneinf attempts

[analog estuary]

ok ima walk till home now

[earnest pelican]

I don't like using wheel because it can block a good ecto

[analog estuary]

cya

[patent sail]

those who vouch

[strange abyss]

the spectral packs must have been barren in your runs lmao

[vestal copper]

this is fucking stupid

[analog estuary]

5 joker slots

[terse vale]

ignore the jupiter

[tawdry rock]

literally who doesnt have clearance sale as their top voucher

[strange abyss]

I vouch for it

[tawdry rock]

i hate anyoene who odesnt

[earnest pelican]

lol

[terse vale]

wheel could still hit though

[patent sail]

i never fucking find it

[strange abyss]

Seems like a good run in the making

[tawdry rock]

its in like

every run for me

so skill issue

[vestal copper]

i have 0 econ tho 😭

[patent sail]

im a discardmaxxer

[earnest pelican]

I've been on this 2nd profile for like a week now

[strange abyss]

I'm a handmaxxer

[terse vale]

me ig

[drifting gorge]

not even close is kinda crazy

[fierce tiger]

do i pivot

[tawdry rock]

holy shirt

[steady fern]

What packs are worth it on gold stake ante 1? When should I buy arcana packs?

[serene forge]

buffoon

[patent sail]

buffoon

[earnest pelican]

joker packs

[tawdry rock]

hi veryoenr post their stats nOOOW

[patent sail]

lmao

[earnest pelican]

only buy others if you stumble into a ton of money with a rebate or something

[strange abyss]

the buffoon pack is good in ante 1, you can skip on the arcana packs

[serene forge]

spectral for immolate/trance is potentially good

[tawdry rock]

dont ask about the flush

im very sanitary

[earnest pelican]

This is also true, or even just a purple seal

[serene forge]

address me

[patent sail]

spectral packs are like instant take for me anytime

[tawdry rock]

true

[serene forge]

idk if they're right but i always take them because immolate

[patent sail]

what can i say, im a spectralpilled gamblemaxxer

[tawdry rock]

immolate my beloved

[vestal copper]

heaven

[tawdry rock]

if your favorite spectral isnt immolate

[tawdry rock]

i hate you

[earnest pelican]

Game said "you can't get more chips than your current $ amount"
ok bet

[serene forge]

oy

oyyy

[tawdry rock]

GUYS.

[serene forge]

hohoy

[patent sail]

when i started playing i was super scared of deleting cards in my deck and i only added

[serene forge]

oyyyyyyy

[drifting gorge]

soul's more fun tho its gambling

[vestal copper]

ahoyy

[torpid bridge]

Noob mistakes

[dawn sedge]

Suboptimal order

[vestal copper]

immolate is peak

[patent sail]

well that was long ago 🥀

[earnest pelican]

Someone the other day unironically said "adding more cards to your dec gives you more options, so it's good"

[tawdry rock]

im gonna eat now

because i barely ate today

[strange abyss]

The hologram approves of this strategy

[tawdry rock]

can someone fetch me some Gros Michel or some Popcorn

[patent sail]

the illusion players

[terse vale]

yikes

[strange abyss]

Well they aren't wrong

[patent sail]

queen you ATE 🎀

[serene forge]

clearance sale is overrated

[tawdry rock]

i slay

[autumn star]

My statistics are more standard

[tawdry rock]

YOu're overrated

[terse vale]

but there’s no correlation

[torpid bridge]

Stop ❓

[autumn star]

[strange abyss]

There are more cards that you can see

[torpid bridge]

Do ❔ instead

[terse vale]

deck bloat doesn’t mean you can choose more stuff

[patent sail]

where are my discardmaxxers at

[serene forge]

me when i add 16 copies of clash to my deck and wonder why im losing

[earnest pelican]

Had another guy tell me "what would you know" when I said Red Card was one of the best jokers in the game and he likely just had poor income because "it costs too much"

[terse vale]

honestly its the opposite for this game

[serene forge]

your mom

[earnest pelican]

idk bro I 100%'d the game I know nothing I guess

[terse vale]

if uou have less cards you can see more of the cards you want

[earnest pelican]

Red Card and Grimbo are free wins if you get even a decent chip option

[serene forge]

red card costs too much don't you know

[patent sail]

when i started playing i thought rebate was mid cuz i had no grasp of how important econ is

[cold flax]

Rebate is the goat

[serene forge]

here win

[earnest pelican]

Grimbo + Square is the ultimate free win for anyone who isn't bad at the game, you don't even need to spam pairs you can literally just do high cards

[patent sail]

i ignored like all econ jokers

[strange compass]

I was discardmaxxing so hard

[patent sail]

HELL YEA 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[vestal copper]

IMMOLATE

[fierce tiger]

the humble stock liquidation

[vestal copper]

my glorious king

i got sale

[strange abyss]

Light em up

[vestal copper]

lets fucking go

[patent sail]

immolate: hi I'm Molate

[fierce tiger]

contemplating pivoting

[earnest pelican]

but also the other day I won a gold stake with this combo and my only two jokers were Burnt and Space for like 3 antes

[drifting gorge]

spaceeeeeee

[patent sail]

mods immolate all their kings

[earnest pelican]

I will burn down an entire build for my spaceman

[cold flax]

We not gonna talk about the tags😭?

[patent sail]

reddit take that is factual and correct?

[vestal copper]

what do i sac for chad

[cold flax]

No clearly we are good at the game and they hate green joker

[earnest pelican]

Reddit actually has the worst possible takes on this game. I saw one of them say Castle was better than Square and they used Checkered as an example

[patent sail]

everything

chad is love

chad is life

[vestal copper]

real

[terse vale]

don’t crop please

but what ante

[fierce tiger]

rocket

[vestal copper]

ante 5

[patent sail]

one of them

[cold flax]

Negative

Skip

Do it

[terse vale]

honestly I’d say you’re fine on wee scaling

[serene forge]

youtube is sometimes worse

[fierce tiger]

i havent hit a single negative skip for 9 antes mate

[patent sail]

my stats 🙏

[serene forge]

I hate Negative Tag

[sleek agate]

LOL

[terse vale]

i’d keep econ to reroll into something like better Xmult

[cold flax]

I’m manifesting it for u

[vestal copper]

meh i already killed the rocket

[patent sail]

speech bubble this shit

[vestal copper]

let wee growww

[cold flax]

Why so negative Batman

[serene forge]

hi cern

[tawdry rock]

worse take than "flower pot is good"

[sleek agate]

who is this

[tawdry rock]

actually i lied theres no worse take but

holy shit its so bad

[serene forge]

it's fork

[sleek agate]

uhhhh hi i forgot your old pfp but hi

[earnest pelican]

Why do people claim Ancient is so hard to deckfix for, yet these same people will literally spend their runs using deaths to make 52 Kings and then complain when they die to The Plant

[serene forge]

hehe

[earnest pelican]

just get one fucking wild card man

it ain't that hard

[serene forge]

this is another good one

[sleek agate]

ancient unironically works for checkered too

[sleek agate]

okay i rmb who you are now

[sleek agate]

i unfortunately changed my opinion and believe that AJ is a bit better than HtR 🥀

[sleek agate]

i have fallen…

[drifting gorge]

cloud nine would be good if it was for smthn like hearts only 4$ a round isnt that good thats not even one reoll!!!!!1

[cold flax]

I read HRT😭

[earnest pelican]

Good lord, Campfire used to be x.5 per sold card and it was so overpowered that it had to be nerfed

these guys SUCK

[marsh swan]

What kind of hand is this

[patent sail]

hrt IS good

[drifting gorge]

wherehwherhewhehwehrwherhwehw

[sleek agate]

and its still overpowered xd

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[patent sail]

idk bro thats cards

[cold flax]

Is it better than ancient joker tho

[marsh swan]

Its suited btw

[analog estuary]

sabrina carpenter caught playing balatro

[patent sail]

gay people give 1.5x mult, gather enough of them and you naneinf

[sleek agate]

bloodstone is a bottom 15 joker

[heavy heron]

i hate that hit the road loses to the water… but otherwise it’s good

[drifting gorge]

just drink the water

then there's no water

and you win

[patent sail]

water the plant

[heavy heron]

it’s probably good for you too

[serene forge]

look up i hate bloodstone in the search bar that might ring a bell about me

[strange compass]

9x mult at ante 5

[patent sail]

that water is polluted i wouldnt

[sleek agate]

i know i rmb you

[serene forge]

hehe

[cold flax]

🏳️‍🌈🔥🔥🔥

[heavy heron]

contaminated with what

[sleek agate]

i think bloodstone is horrible and not even usable in ante 2 unlike zany/wily

[cold flax]

Whyyyy

[earnest pelican]

The easiest way to deduce someone's skill in this game is where they would place Perkeo and Chicot on a list of legendaries for gold stake

[patent sail]

oh you dont even wanna know...

[earnest pelican]

How Chicot gets so much hate is beyond me

[heavy heron]

😨 😨 😨

[sleek agate]

just absolutely terrible

[serene forge]

trib too

[patent sail]

trib goes to T tier which stands for Triboulet

[analog estuary]

top 5

[strange compass]

Perkeo is actually worse than commons lowkenuinely in ante 8 runs

[vestal copper]

fuckkkkkk

[low valve]

what do i do

[patent sail]

top 5 in the F tier

[vestal copper]

the eye got me i thunk

[drifting gorge]

perk's decent econ

[tawdry rock]

you ?

[serene forge]

perkeo isn't even bad at all its just overrated as fuck by endless noobs

[analog estuary]

f as in fantastic

[sleek agate]

perk is mid to high A, chicot is top 20

[vestal copper]

i thunk and came to a conclusion

[cold flax]

I honestly don’t know where would u put them

[heavy heron]

perkeo is anything you want it to be; deck fixing or money

[vestal copper]

im dead 😭

[sleek agate]

perkeo is like almost the best tarot utility

[patent sail]

f actually stands for fterrible

[heavy heron]

without luck factor

[strange abyss]

replace paradolia with photo?

[serene forge]

caked up amongus on four legs super reaction

[earnest pelican]

I always go Yorick/Canio > Chicot > Trib > Perkeo, with Yorick and Canio being interchangeable depending on the deck and what my build is

[drifting gorge]

rip

[sleek agate]

perkeo far above trib

imo

[analog estuary]

does perkeo gives +4 chips if your hand only has 4 cards?

[strange compass]

I just don't see it's legendary usefulness in ante 8 runs

[autumn star]

What's wrong with this photo?

[earnest pelican]

I can see a case for that in some cases but for me, it's slightly easier to make use of Trib than Perkeo

[sleek agate]

yorick > canio (top 10) > chicot (top 15-20) > perkeo (top 25-30) > trib

[cold flax]

Are yorick and canio the x milt scaling ones

[heavy heron]

nope, that’s square joker

[tame jacinth]

i finally did it. 4 in a row gold stake black deck. yippee

[vestal copper]

this run was so good vruh

[earnest pelican]

Correct

[serene forge]

yes because it duplicates mercury

[strange compass]

It's fine but definitely the worst legend for ante 8 runs

[earnest pelican]

Yorick gains x1 every 23 discarded cards, Canio gains x1 every face card destroyed

[cold flax]

Wait is trib the discard scaling one?

[serene forge]

15 chips a round instead of 16 but yea

[low valve]

maybe

[cold flax]

Thank u lol was just gonna search this up

[strange compass]

Trib is better than Perk 😭

[cloud sinew]

winstreak gaming (2)

[patent sail]

no thats perkeo

[earnest pelican]

Trib is x2 for Kings and Queens

[low valve]

sock and pareidolia is kinda good alr

[drifting gorge]

valid, i just got confused since you exaggerated a bit and said it was subcommon

[strange abyss]

Yes and Yorick gives x2 to kings and queens

[sleek agate]

perkeo works regardless of what ur building towards

[strange compass]

Perk just gets glazed because of YouTube videos

[sleek agate]

@cloud sinew i came to my senses and unfortunately conceded that AJ is a little better than HtR

[cold flax]

u people are … fooling me😭

[sleek agate]

in fact AJ is pretty…nuts?

[torpid bridge]

Perkeo on her own couldnt do shit

[cloud sinew]

trib works in the least builds and is the most boss vulnerable legendary

[strange compass]

It just works

[torpid bridge]

Just like brainrot

[patent sail]

fun fact: you need only 1567 red seal steel kings to naneinf

[torpid bridge]

And bluepiss

[drifting gorge]

67777\

[tame jacinth]

Perk is at least 4 dollars per round, if you dont see the point of a golden joker on ante 8 idk what to tell you

[sleek agate]

perkeo is at worst a golden joker

[sleek agate]

yep’

[strange abyss]

out of all the legendaries I've only gotten trib to gold stake

[strange compass]

It's one boss bruh

[wintry ice]

the main thing that burdens trib is low versatility

[cloud sinew]

5

[drifting gorge]

wait naneinf is 2^1024 if they're red seal steel it'd be less than 1024

[strange compass]

I don't think that weakness makes it worse than Perkeo

[strange abyss]

what was the last tarot I used again...

[cold flax]

Isn’t trib and sock like 2^10 mult

[wintry ice]

it doesn't fit into every build like every other legendary does

[sleek agate]

i actually think the boss that flips your face cards is equally annoying to plant

[patent sail]

yeah i just made that number up for dramatic effect

[cloud sinew]

It's part of it. That is one of two things I said.

[sleek agate]

in fact arguably worse

[drifting gorge]

ah okay

[tame jacinth]

i'd disagree. you dont have to aim as high as people are. go for 2 pair and its a 4x mult joker with zero retriggers needed

[wintry ice]

consistency matters more than highrolling

[strange compass]

I got Yorick today

[cloud sinew]

Trib works in the least builds out of all legendaries

[heavy heron]

well pillar doesn’t count because enhancements, and… what? suit bosses?

[cold flax]

What about seal cards

[wintry ice]

4x mult that ignores scaling +mult jokers which are what the majority of builds converge to*

[patent sail]

about 5 of them

[cloud sinew]

pillar absolutely does count, its just that you can work around it somewhat, so its 6 actually

[heavy heron]

what’s the other 5

[analog estuary]

only plays balatro

[cloud sinew]

Suit bosses and plant

[strange compass]

Yes but I still think the highroll Trib has a little better than Perkeo's utility

[cloud sinew]

Also leaf actually

[earnest pelican]

It's very good but again you have to deckfix and get your base planet scaling up so Trib isn't always a guaranteed win. I lost the other day with a Trib because I just couldn't draw enough Kings/Queens.

[cloud sinew]

Highroll trib doesnt matter

[devout rune]

should i sell smth and blueprint the cavendish

[heavy heron]

so basically just 1 that has no workaround, got it

the other 5 you can work around quite easily

[cloud sinew]

Overscoring doesnt make any difference

[sleek agate]

trib’s soft counters are a bit bad as well, like needle and water if you cant deckfix enough

[cold flax]

Yeah

[strange compass]

You can sell scary face if you have enough levels

[wintry ice]

well what would incentivise you to go to something inherently less versitile when you have a build that doesn't fit it?

[cold flax]

I don’t think I’ve ever got one😭

[earnest pelican]

Needle is what killed me, I couldn't get enough out and had to do a full house with 3 Kings and 2 Jacks

[patent sail]

why are you using pareidolia

[earnest pelican]

was not enough

[sleek agate]

exactly

needle and water are pretty deadly

[devout rune]

because scary face

[sleek agate]

in general

[wintry ice]

also i'd say that needle, water and mouth are more of a pain for trib than the suit bosses are

[sleek agate]

trib just isnt amazing against it

[sleek agate]

same

[patent sail]

ask luchador to drink the water

[sleek agate]

oh dont forget shit like flint and hook

[heavy heron]

it appears i’ve been on this game for too long

[strange abyss]

just throw the needle in the water

[devout rune]

should i

[sleek agate]

though flint isnt rly a problem

hook is annoying tho

[tame jacinth]

turns out boss blinds are pretty scary

[cold flax]

Needle is never scary cuz I feel
Like a lot of builds one shot until it suddenly is

[wintry ice]

hook sucks aswell

[sleek agate]

its why scaling +mult is incredibly good

[sleek agate]

very boss agnostic in general

[wintry ice]

flint is roughly equivalent to wall which trib doesn't struggle as much with

[tame jacinth]

you mean like planet cards?

[heavy heron]

my most played hand is no longer flushes :(

[strange abyss]

needle is tough against card sharp builds

[sleek agate]

green joker, ride the bus, supernova, red card, pants

[analog estuary]

its almost the same thing 😭

[patent sail]

scaling +mult legendary when 🔥🔥🔥

[earnest pelican]

Card Sharp runs always end up facing Needle or Eye

[tame jacinth]

never heard of it

[earnest pelican]

I hate them both

[strange compass]

Ye I think you sell scary face and BP Cavendish

[tawny radish]

i dislike this

[analog estuary]

THIS IS RIDICULOUS

[tawdry rock]

scaling +chips legendary when 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[strange abyss]

it gives +1 mult for every card played

[tawny radish]

indeed

[terse vale]

any scaling mult rare or above pllsssss

[robust valley]

Is this a good/okay start? I’m okay at Balatro. (Me noob-ish.)

[patent sail]

cube joker

[drifting gorge]

105 soul holy hell

[strange abyss]

So that's where all the legendaries are going

[sleek agate]

eye is really bad for card sharp yeah

[patent sail]

whats your hardest demon

[analog estuary]

i could argue its just looking for ante 1 chicot but i dont recall getting more than 3 doing that

[devout rune]

fuck

[terse vale]

whats parei even for 😭

[strange compass]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[analog estuary]

ok here we go

[devout rune]

i had scary face

[drifting gorge]

just play 5 cards and pray
i got a 4 of a kind once that way

[robust valley]

wdym, are you talking about Balatro or something else.

[strange compass]

Just play a hand to see how much you score ig

[drifting gorge]

gl!

[drifting gorge]

gd probably, your pfp is gd after all

[patent sail]

the game where like uhhhhh square jumps over like triangles n shi

[sleek agate]

the hardest demon is orin in act 3

[latent egret]

stop skipping

[robust valley]

Oh, my hardest is I Wanna Be the Guy on GD. I like platformers.

[devout rune]

its over

[tame jacinth]

geometry dash is known for people gatekeeping over what the hardest level you've played is

[latent egret]

and stop spending money when you have less than 25$

[cold flax]

Which is eye

Cuz eye don’t know

[strange abyss]

Good luck
you're gonna need it

[tame jacinth]

nah, play how you like

[cold flax]

👁️👁️

[sleek agate]

something i dont necessarily agree with but its a good rule of thumb

[drifting gorge]

ugh ik i should but i love skipping

[strange abyss]

black deck was one of the worst experiences I've had playing this game

[tame jacinth]

then have fun

[patent sail]

yes this is why i will never tell yall that my hardest is celestia by notxo, yall dont deserve to kmow

[drifting gorge]

fair

[tawdry rock]

im gonna bet 4 smackaroons that brainstorm and the duo + the poly swash were all from skips

[latent egret]

im talking about general win rate which is how most people have fun

[strange abyss]

Hello Throwback

[latent egret]

losing feels bad to most

[sleek agate]

wait

did you make a new account

[earnest pelican]

Skip when your run is in a really good spot and you can afford to goof around a bit, it's not like you never ever can. But it's just important not to do it early when you need to build up your econ and roster.

[sleek agate]

mr number #1 obelisk fan

[robust valley]

Brainstorm was, the duo wasn’t.

[tame jacinth]

meh

[earnest pelican]

unless it's ante 1 investment, the best skip of all time

[latent egret]

for new players its better to go simple

[tawdry rock]

fact

fact

i love investment

so good

[tame jacinth]

i think most round 1 skips are worthwhile on gold stake black deck

[strange abyss]

genuinely goated

[tame jacinth]

even the ones that do nothing

[sleek agate]

voucher tag

[tawdry rock]

what the fuck is this guy talking about

[cold flax]

I vouch for this

[drifting gorge]

me when most:

[latent egret]

no there might have been another pneumonia before but they were inactive when i renamed

[quartz ember]

some are, most are not

[cold flax]

I think he’s talking about round one skips on deck stakes

[tame jacinth]

unironically just going into the first shop with 8 dollars instead of 4 is super valuable

[sleek agate]

no

[tame jacinth]

what do I know my best is 4 in a row

[strange compass]

Can you sell para? You don't rely on face cards

[sleek agate]

because the first shop guarantees a joker pack

missing on that fucking sucks

[drifting gorge]

wait really?

huh

[sleek agate]

yep

[tame jacinth]

you get it anyways

[sleek agate]

the $4 one

[drifting gorge]

i always skipped my first small blind bc it felt pointless

[sleek agate]

not always

[tame jacinth]

it's the first shop not the first round shop

[tawdry rock]

it sucks the name i came up with for my account doesnt have a c in it so i cant cleverly put some shit like afterc++image

[quartz ember]

well maybe you are actually right then

[tawdry rock]

maybe perhaps i can just do afterimage++ because its cooler without the letter

[tame jacinth]

Idk if i'd take voucher on the first round ngl

[sleek agate]

wait its not the first round shop?

[earnest pelican]

Skipping early on black deck is a bad idea because you have already lost a hand which makes clearing 450 and 600 even harder without jokers. Unless it's an investment tag, you should never ever do this.

[tranquil steppe]

Finally gold stickered madness

[tame jacinth]

I mean unless i'm stupid

[fringe crest]

🐴

[fringe crest]

madness run🤤

[tame jacinth]

again i can only speak from personal experience. my pb is 4 in a row.

[strange abyss]

honse

[tranquil steppe]

lol I picked him up before the final ante 8 boss just for the sticker

[fringe crest]

oh lame

i love madness with a passion

hes just like me

eating nonstop

[cloud sinew]

The first shop you go into is guaranteed a buffoon pack, not just the small blind shop

[cloud sinew]

This is the most insane part about what you said

[tranquil steppe]

I avoid madness like the plague most of the time

[tame jacinth]

i find round 2 without scoring improvements is fairly reliable, and going into the first shop with 4-6 dollars means you have to commit to either the first joker you see or a buffoon pack with no guarantee of scoring. I value the extra options in that first shop

[tame jacinth]

i meant like polychrome or foil

[cloud sinew]

Going into the big blind with nothing is incredibly risky

[sleek agate]

ah ok

[tame jacinth]

i'm not 100% on this strat but it's the only thing that's been consistently working for me

[tame jacinth]

its not that bad

[sleek agate]

its that bad tbh

[tame jacinth]

ok

[sleek agate]

for a good streak

i mean

[cloud sinew]

probably because youre not accounting for the losses you get from doing this, youre just looking at the time it takes to get a single win

but for consistency, this is a very bad strategy

[tame jacinth]

sure

[vale wharf]

Any updates on 1.1?

[cloud sinew]

No

[vale wharf]

Wait, why is it 1.1 and not 2.0?

What would make it 2.0?

[sleek agate]

when the paid dlc comes

[cloud sinew]

Thunk said so

thats about it

[terse vale]

new banana joker if you didn’t already know

[earnest pelican]

It would need to be such a big update it's basically new at that point

Most updates for video games don't go to 2.0

[terse vale]

yea

[lost vault]

miau

[vale wharf]

I saw that 👍

[vale wharf]

Hi, cat

[terse vale]

other than that yea idk

[earnest pelican]

Halo 2 was updated until 2010 and when I load it up on my Xbox it's only version 1.4 or something lol

[lost vault]

hai :3

[sleek agate]

cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update was massive, as an example

[sleek agate]

complete skill tree rework, new cop system, driving changes, and a new dlc attached to it

[earnest pelican]

RtB on abandoned deck feels so nice

[sleek agate]

RtB is a great joker in general and abandoned ensures you won’t ever play a face card

they’re just really good together

[tawdry rock]

oh dont worry we already know, it's because of the

[analog estuary]

what even is that chicot

[sleek agate]

what did balatro lose to for goty

was it astro bot?

[terse vale]

I think so

[tawdry rock]

probably yeah

[earnest pelican]

yes

Astro Bot was awesome too so it was deserved

reminded me of Spyro

[tawdry rock]

balatro is far too awesome to lose to some robot

[terse vale]

I never played it but i’m glad balatro got so close

[cloud sigil]

dumb seed has like 2 ectoplasms my life sucks

[patent sail]

square 🔥🔥🔥

[sleek agate]

i actually thought balatro had zero chances but its still like 2/3 place

[tawdry rock]

i take square here

[patent sail]

im not like yall so i take the pack here

[tawdry rock]

i reroll here

for the showman

so i can yell at it

and then sell it

[cloud sigil]

what if i reroll and get zany joker

[cloud sinew]

The annoying part about AstroBot winning was how few people were talking about it deserving GOTY, which makes sense considering its a PS5 exclusive

[patent sail]

i quit to main menu and start new run

[patent sail]

run saved

[sleek agate]

i think people who played it loved it tbf

it annoys me mainly because its more about reminiscing sony’s past

[cloud sigil]

bricked my run no blueprint to copy sly

[sleek agate]

which isnt exactly something exciting to me inherently

[cloud sinew]

me personally id force a loss instead of starting a new run immediately so its tracked in my stats

[earnest pelican]

I honestly like it when games like that win. The constant astroturfing for games like Clair Obscur and Baldur's Gate 3 all over social media got annoying after a while even if they absolutely did deserve to win.

[patent sail]

tracked what, the loss?

[cloud sigil]

run is now saved

[sleek agate]

i unironically thought 2020 had the best GOTY win

[serene forge]

straights are pretty good

[strange abyss]

I will not look inside

[vestal copper]

this was kinda sketchy but hi chad ig lmfao

gg ig

[sleek agate]

and im literally playing BG3 rn. its really that good

[vestal copper]

its ante 7 so no plant

[patent sail]

look outside the box

[tawdry rock]

look inside

its for the good of humanity

[strange abyss]

too late I'm all in on 2s now

[tawdry rock]

im so tired i need to sleep and im exhausted from chatting all day

Time to play some gold stake balatro

[vestal copper]

gn

[patent sail]

yall should look inside

[earnest pelican]

The last year Spike did their VGAs before it became TGA, I remember I was so mad that BioShock Infinite lost to GTA V lol

[tawdry rock]

my house

[sleek agate]

tbh i really dislike rockstar games in general, at least the recent ones

[calm furnace]

the value of retroactive scaling jokers canont be understated and i think not to rate supernova and fortune teller is something that raises a lot of questions

[sleek agate]

san andreas was awesome

[tawdry rock]

what did i do

[calm furnace]

its insane how clutch supernova can be

[torpid bridge]

They are better than ride the piss

[sleek agate]

you just forgot to be a good game

or you know, fun

[tawdry rock]

im so sorry

[torpid bridge]

Stop ❓ ing

[tawdry rock]

ill try harder next time

[patent sail]

be a good game next time

[torpid bridge]

Dont you have better reaction

[patent sail]

hope that helps

[torpid bridge]

More creative ones

[tawdry rock]

also gta 6 is delayed to february 30th 2026

so close now!

[cloud sinew]

Yes

[calm furnace]

test

[patent sail]

you could call that.... delayed gratification

[cloud sinew]

if you dont see the loss screen it doesnt count as a loss for anything besides your winstreak

[torpid bridge]

What does coconut even mean?

[tawdry rock]

also new game

[calm furnace]

supernova here was better than 2x mult

[tawdry rock]

🐴 6

releasing today

[calm furnace]

that card alone won me the run

[tawdry rock]

only $59.99

[patent sail]

why would i want to count losses anyway

[cloud sinew]

Winrate

[calm furnace]

holding R doesnt change winrate?

[cloud sinew]

Nope

[torpid bridge]

Counting loses is fun

[sleek agate]

GTA6 is going to be the most glorified open world game ever made where people are forced to walk through cinematics and cannot ever deviate from said path because thats what rockstar games are like

[patent sail]

when i win the run i go and start a new one without forcing the loss because i cant be bothered

[calm furnace]

oh i wish i knew that before

[earnest pelican]

Red Dead 2 did deserve GOTY over God of War in 2018 though. I'm not even basing that off of which game I personally think was better. Red Dead won Best Narrative, Best Score, Best Audio Design, and Best Performance and somehow loses GOTY lol. I'll never understanding getting more individual awards than something yet not winning GOTY over it, it just makes the award seem less important.

[cloud sinew]

Losses in endless dont count either

so that doesnt matter

[sleek agate]

hot take. i hated rdr2

[tawdry rock]

can they uncount losses from non endless too

asking for a friend

[earnest pelican]

I don't find it that fun either, I just think Geoff Keighley sucks lol

[patent sail]

well when i lose without getting to ante 8 ofc i just lose

[sleek agate]

tlou2 unironicallythe best goty win imo

thats an incredible game

[calm furnace]

god i love supernova

[tawdry rock]

the legend of uranus 2?

[sleek agate]

last of us part 2

[tawdry rock]

because the first legend of uranus was so good?

[patent sail]

so far the biggest number localthunk has invented is 39 so if you get over it they overflow to 0

[tawdry rock]

i am physically unable to count to 39

i cant even comprehend numbers above it

[earnest pelican]

I actually loved It Takes Two winning, seeing a coop game with that kind of narrative beat out RE Village was not something I expected

[patent sail]

because they dont exist

[sleek agate]

the levels in that game are masterclass. really really good combat spaces and veryicality

[strange compass]

Finally got it 😭

[patent sail]

localthunk needs to invent them

[tawdry rock]

i wonder what hes gonna invent next

[spark kernel]

Finally beat blue deck black stake

[torpid bridge]

Isnt supernova objectively better than ride the piss and groker?

[patent sail]

he should invent videogames

[calm furnace]

no

[torpid bridge]

Yes

[tawdry rock]

i thought of a triangle shape with the point deviating to the far right and a line going through the line that meets that point

[calm furnace]

because of the eye

[strange abyss]

Slowly making my way up the stakes with painted deck

[earnest pelican]

I forgot how bad Castle is on gold stake why did I take this lmao

[sleek agate]

i thought it made sense tbh, re village story wasnt v good and it takes two just…hits right

i think if balatro released that year it mightve been a close one

[tawdry rock]

as a number right after 3

[calm furnace]

late game supernova is better but early game ride and groker are better

[tawdry rock]

probably stupid

[terse vale]

[tawdry rock]

never gonna work

[patent sail]

i wish there were videogames other than balatro

[strange compass]

Castle? More like Hastle

[tawdry rock]

so true

but actually

yo udont need anything other than balatro

[torpid bridge]

Castle on gold stake isnt bad

[sleek agate]

code violet!!’

[tawdry rock]

balatro is all you will ever need

and ever consume

[calm furnace]

sad only video game is balatro only tv show is sopranos life is so empty

[earnest pelican]

hmmmm

[tawdry rock]

it is everloving and everexisting

[earnest pelican]

free win time

[vestal copper]

balatro is all your life is

[earnest pelican]

thanks game

[molten thicket]

why would you want any other games other than balatro

[torpid bridge]

Its just not as strong as it is on white

[patent sail]

i want balatro 2

[tawdry rock]

sorry what

who would want that

1.0.1 is the best there ever could be

[vestal copper]

why do you want a balala with the battle pass in it

[tawdry rock]

local thunk our lord and savior has invented the best version

best number

[cloud sinew]

Thats true for nearly everything

[tawdry rock]

no need to go further

[heavy heron]

you should try this game on roblox called cardlike

[tawdry rock]

it is perfect already

[patent sail]

someone named "exactly 15 wasps in your house" probably, they sound like a dumbass and we should kill them with bricks

[vestal copper]

madness

[sleek agate]

i dont think balatro should have a sequel

[torpid bridge]

Yeah thats why im saying castle on gold stake isnt bad

[sleek agate]

they said “nearly”

[cloud sinew]

"nearly"

[patent sail]

roblox? whats that

[vestal copper]

yeah

[patent sail]

they havent invented other games yet

[heavy heron]

😞

[cloud sinew]

because Im aware of the exceptions

[vestal copper]

i am too

[cloud sinew]

Campfire, Cola, Madness, etc

[earnest pelican]

Jimbo said "I got your back bro, take your time scaling that castle"

further proof Jimbo is the best joker

[cloud sinew]

Good job! /s

[strange compass]

First time seeing Showman actually show something

[tawdry rock]

wdym

physically impossible

[vestal copper]

showman guiding the way to a photochad win

[tawdry rock]

all he does is copy shit tarots and planets and himself

[vestal copper]

trust

[strange compass]

Look at my deck

[heavy heron]

hey lilo those stats you showed earlier, is that your only profile?

[tawdry rock]

too far

get to know me first

[vestal copper]

well yaeh

double photochad

surely

[patent sail]

why is your deck so small vro,,,,

[heavy heron]

what an ego, making copies of himself

[patent sail]

mitosis

[strange compass]

You say that but I actually saw Photo in the first shop of my first ever Abandoned Deck run

[sleek agate]

its honestly not THAT bad

[heavy heron]

well i’d call him a little more than a cell

[sleek agate]

especially with the $25

[vestal copper]

oh you are abandoned

hit that pareidolia

[patent sail]

cell is where he deserves to be

a prison one preferrably

[sleek agate]

i have made ride the bus + mime baron work on abandoned without rtb resetting and leaning all my mult on baron

[strange compass]

I didn't get it cuz it's white stake and I just wanna do something else

[heavy heron]

and i’ll talk to him via a cell! ..phone

[tawdry rock]

its confirmed, all jokers are single celled organisms

[sleek agate]

on gold stake

[patent sail]

walkie talkie

[heavy heron]

10 4

[strange compass]

Playing this flush Fibonacci run rn

[torpid bridge]

Why did you do that

Ride the piss just sits there

[sleek agate]

i took an early eternal rtb

[patent sail]

thats jimbos phone number

[sleek agate]

so i dont die in early antes

[strange compass]

What rtb

[sleek agate]

i pivot to baron mime in late game

[vestal copper]

ride the bus

[sleek agate]

ride the bus

[vestal copper]

aka the goat

[sleek agate]

dont try this at home

terrible strategy

[heavy heron]

give him a call and tell him to stop insulting me when i lose

[sleek agate]

it was just a shitpost gone right

[fringe crest]

thats why you got horesed

[patent sail]

install aura mod so he also laughs while doing so

[heavy heron]

NO

[patent sail]

baron also laughs in that mod

at you for rolling him in the shop

[heavy heron]

i don’t need aura mod considering i already got so much of it

[keen pilot]

The perfect build

[heavy heron]

that’s a lot of negatives

[keen pilot]

The negatives are carrying the run

[vestal copper]

the choice of the century

[heavy heron]

TRIBE

ITS ALWAYS TRIBE

flush time

[vestal copper]

i got the tribe

[sleek agate]

why

[heavy heron]

it’s good

[sleek agate]

ride the bus is amazing especially early ante

[patent sail]

this you?

[heavy heron]

don’t sleep on the 2x!!

[sleek agate]

but ok

[vestal copper]

my deck is not that well-fixed

[heavy heron]

if it hits polychrome yea

[cloud sinew]

worst hit, fitting

[sleek agate]

lilo is right

[heavy heron]

best hit

for a non pair spammer!

[patent sail]

foil my favorite

[sleek agate]

best hit is chips

[terse vale]

trying to horse emoji the right one

[subtle steppe]

HOLY OUJIA

[terse vale]

[molten thicket]

anything but poly

[heavy heron]

and they say ouija is bad!

[patent sail]

because poly is GAY and being gay is WOKE and CRINGE

[sleek agate]

honestly yeah poly isn’t a good hit

different story on jokers tno

[sleek agate]

i feel like poly jokers are amazing on gold stake

[heavy heron]

and they said it’s the worst hit, ugh! homophobic!

[sleek agate]

like i wont pass on free 1.5x

[earnest pelican]

I concur

[sleek agate]

even if its on a functionally useless joker

[tawdry rock]

can someone ping me

real qiuick

[heavy heron]

@tawdry rock

[patent sail]

if its on a flower pot im holding R

[sleek agate]

well ill still take it if i need xmult

[sleek agate]

and so it begins

[keen pilot]

An actually useful nat negative??

[tawdry rock]

FUCK you

thats all iwanted to do

thanks

[heavy heron]

AY AYYYY

[molten thicket]

i hate holo the most visually

[patent sail]

get anted

[sleek agate]

a polychrome seance is more useful than a static +mult in late antes

[tawdry rock]

i cant believe this

[heavy heron]

i’m going to start doing the horse thing too

[patent sail]

makes cards look muddy 😭

[tawdry rock]

you dO know the ant supremacy is against the horse supremacy right

horse is the bset

[heavy heron]

you deserve to get horsed

[earnest pelican]

Obelisk haters will truly never experience pure euphoria

[heavy heron]

🐴

[strange compass]

Who do I take out 😭

[tawdry rock]

🐴

[patent sail]

showman

fuck showman

[terse vale]

we’re the horsers and you guys are the horse-ees

[heavy heron]

you get it

[strange compass]

No this showman actually works

He's showed me two repeats

[molten thicket]

if i get a red steel king in endless but it has holo im burning it

[terse vale]

i’m saying you guys should get horsed

[patent sail]

thats not supposed to happen

[sleek agate]

why not take out chad

[strange compass]

I love how much he shows me

[heavy heron]

ugh!! my aura hit polychrome!! now my 25th pair hologram constellation square joker run gets no benefit!!

[strange compass]

Especially when he shows a wee

[patent sail]

take so horsed bro got SUPER horse

[terse vale]

basically yeah

[strange compass]

I have like level 7 flush

[heavy heron]

wait until you find out there’s more than 1 way to win the game

[tawdry rock]

did you know there's a term for expressing utter awe and disbelief? that's awesome!

[sleek agate]

you can copy chad

[terse vale]

pairs are the best option

[zenith raven]

How many pair spams do you go for before you start ramping obelisk?

[patent sail]

i domt care what aura gives me, ill take anything

[heavy heron]

well yea everybody knows that

[sleek agate]

itll be doing the same thing

[strange compass]

Mmmh ye

[sleek agate]

just better

you can fish for another blueprint

[keen pilot]

So much gift card value :0

[terse vale]

also even then it still activates before +mult so eh

[strange compass]

I'll take out chad 😭

[terse vale]

gtg neow though

[sleek agate]

or a brainstorm

[earnest pelican]

Normally like 20 but this time was higher because I was just scaling my bus

[molten thicket]

if my cards aren't gay i ain't taking it

[patent sail]

wokelatro

[sleek agate]

slay the jokers

[earnest pelican]

Obelisk deniers will look at that screenshot and still try to claim that playing different hands is either too hard or not fun

[patent sail]

jokers before: mmmmm poker
jokers now: mmmmm men

[heavy heron]

woahhh woahhh

[patent sail]

what if i dont want to

[sleek agate]

as in

[heavy heron]

what card graphic do you guys have chosen on spades

it’s always slay the princess

[earnest pelican]

Slay the Princess

[sleek agate]

slayyy

[molten thicket]

has someone made a jokers crackability tier list

[patent sail]

why would i slay my jokers

[heavy heron]

YEAAAA

[patent sail]

they help me

[sleek agate]

cyberpunk!!!

[tawdry rock]

today was the first time i've ever bought seance and it was for the sole reason to discover it, i sold it immediately after

[cloud sinew]

people then: mmmm poker
people now: mmmm joker

[sleek agate]

i love cyberpunk 2077

amazing game

[tawdry rock]

joker poker........ balala

[sleek agate]

its my spades skin

[heavy heron]

you know what, valid take

[sleek agate]

i was shocked by how good it is!

loved the narrative

[heavy heron]

why would i have exactly 15 wasps in my house

that sounds horrifying

[patent sail]

i would like to inform you that i just green checkmark reacted to your message while listening to xaev - flashcube

[keen pilot]

I remember one time Dr. Spectred won a run with an obelisk with the most played hand being at 4
During a speedrun, no less lol

[tawdry rock]

i am now happier due to reading this message thank you
