[torpid bridge]

Very fun

[tranquil jacinth]

I'm saying he's not consistent

[torpid bridge]

Dagger is better than ride the piss scaling wise, cuz a jimbo can get it +4

[primal eagle]

😭 😭 😭

[west hemlock]

Not my fault your luck sucks

[torpid bridge]

A jimbo

[humble dune]

Horse

[west hemlock]

I like gambling just be luckier next time

[tranquil jacinth]

If I can only win if I get Yorick I am going to win once every 250 runs but if I can only win with grimbo I win every 5 runs

[west hemlock]

I know this is gonna sound rlly stupid but I wish Balatro was only slightly more luck based

[torpid bridge]

Dagger is just not fun to play

Too scared to ever play it

[covert basin]

chat how do i win on purple stake😭🙏

[torpid bridge]

I still play ride the piss sometimes but dagger is a no-go

[torpid bridge]

Highroll

[covert basin]

whats that mean

[west hemlock]

I’ve been wondering that for months

[torpid bridge]

Play until you find an easy seed

[west hemlock]

So much so a guy asked to see me streaming it a few nights ago

[covert basin]

whats the best deck?

other than plasma

[torpid bridge]

Honestly just play pairs or pluto

[covert basin]

pairs…

[torpid bridge]

Cuz they are easy to spam

[covert basin]

oh

[analog estuary]

personal preference, i love ghost deck and zodiac

[torpid bridge]

Take the +mult jokers early game,

[west hemlock]

Why do you not like pairs how did you even get to purple knowing that

[covert basin]

valid

[torpid bridge]

And chips joker

[analog estuary]

yellow also really really really strong

[torpid bridge]

Chip jokers give high value as they equal x2 or sometimes x3

[covert basin]

i usually play flushes and straights

[west hemlock]

That right there would explain why you’re not winning purple

[torpid bridge]

I mean he can highroll blue stakes

[covert basin]

so focus on mult early then chips later

[torpid bridge]

I even win gold stakes with straight builds and flower pot

[analog estuary]

not actually

[torpid bridge]

Chips first

[covert basin]

ok

[analog estuary]

i did like 4 gold stakes until i knew about the pair meta

[torpid bridge]

Just take the scaling chips, +mult joker. If you cant find any scaling, get the plain ones

[analog estuary]

just a bit more experience and its fine

[torpid bridge]

As long as you have them

[west hemlock]

You scare me

[torpid bridge]

You can survive first few antes

[covert basin]

alr

[analog estuary]

its not like everyone knew about pairs

[covert basin]

thanks mr choco

[analog estuary]

i only found out cuz of bu

[tranquil jacinth]

Wait loyalty card just sucks more because it's 3x every other round, acrobat is 3x on the last hand

[west hemlock]

Is it bad I’ve been playing this game for like a year and I still have like 6 jokers I haven’t unlocked yet

[torpid bridge]

I hate satellite

[west hemlock]

How do you even get $400 while still surviving

[analog estuary]

guy discorvers that blowtorches burn more than a match

[torpid bridge]

Just play endless

But i dont feel like doing so

[tranquil jacinth]

I forgot acrobat exists

[analog estuary]

strong endless runs

its not hard

try to do a naneinf and you get it first try

but i wouldnt recommend

[torpid bridge]

Just get lots of gold cards and mime

[tranquil jacinth]

Ducking finally

[analog estuary]

cuz unlocking satellite is so bad

its SOOOO bad

[torpid bridge]

But it takes time

For an endless run

I just hate it

[west hemlock]

I don’t think endless is gonna help me most of the time I don’t even hit ante 10

[torpid bridge]

Skill issue ig

[tidal pawn]

Showman silly activities

[torpid bridge]

🤡

[tranquil jacinth]

I'm about to loose I'm scoring 20e on my best hand and the blind is e13 so should I sell baron or mail

Not making a ton from Mime rn

[west hemlock]

You hate ride the bus because you’re clumsy don’t you start

[torpid bridge]

Never said i don't have skill issue

[tidal pawn]

You my goat frfr

[tranquil jacinth]

Thats like 99% of the reason I lose gold stake with rtb

[torpid bridge]

But that doesnt stop me from calling others having skill issue

[tranquil jacinth]

Fuck another one..

Another Chicot...

Wth

[west hemlock]

Thanks big dawg

[cyan sparrow]

you have good jokers

[tranquil jacinth]

I'm in a death spiral right now

Scoring about e25 but the blinds are coming up on me

[manic zealot]

the game is just being mean to me by giving me the psychic rn

[lost vault]

its ante 1 ull be fineee

[manic zealot]

ik it just was mean

[lilac portal]

Is it a visual bug that I swear I just saw a +20 mult effect from a lucky face card with reserved parking?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[manic zealot]

yeah probably a visual bug

[serene forge]

how do you lose gold stake with rtb

[tranquil jacinth]

I do a dumb

[serene forge]

skill issue

[marsh vine]

would a hand that's 4aok with a 5th card of the same suit count as "containing a flush"

[lilac portal]

oh I am just dumb

[serene forge]

yea

[fringe nebula]

oh

[serene forge]

i saw that

[short yew]

Does 4 of a kind trigger pants?

[fringe nebula]

no

[marsh vine]

nope

[serene forge]

no

[short yew]

Rigged

[serene forge]

not rigged

4oak does not have a 2 pair in it

[heady fable]

How it feels to die by immolate or ecto instead of missing a blind

[marsh vine]

about the same

[nova mantle]

Giving me a certain suit joker only for it to be debuffed in that ante's boss

This game is sentient I swear

[manic zealot]

this run is highkey on life support

if it gives me trib I'm gonna cry

[marsh vine]

do I have to sell Luchador at the boss, or can I sell it anytime during the ante

[manic zealot]

at the boss only

I learned that the hard way

[marsh vine]

cringe

I was about to as well

[manic zealot]

I got yorick

[marsh vine]

I got 4 common and 1 uncommon joker

0 good scoring jokers

[nova mantle]

Run no longer on life support

[manic zealot]

ok the game really does know dude, the next boss is the serpent and I have yorick

[analog estuary]

i was already winning by only retriggering polychromes but ok game thanks

[marsh vine]

I lost today with 3 legendary jokers

[manic zealot]

I just lost the yorick run

yorick wasn't gonna help when the run was already on life support :/

if only I got it earlier

honestly what could've saved the run was a canio

I needed immediate xmult

[marsh vine]

mood

[frozen swan]

just wanted to share this

I was hoping to get more discarts

[marsh vine]

Descartes

[manic zealot]

merry andrew hello

[marsh vine]

is that the Cogito ergo sum guy

[frozen swan]

and it came more than I was hoping for

[inland temple]

what is this language

[manic zealot]

portugues

[frozen swan]

portuguese

[inland temple]

I'm stupid

[frozen swan]

what is Descartes in english?

[inland temple]

why does it look kinda long

[manic zealot]

discards

[inland temple]

Discards

[frozen swan]

thx

[inland temple]

the water....

[frozen swan]

the translation in the buttons is kinda unorganized tho

[manic zealot]

how so

[frozen swan]

in the button to see the run's information

it seems like it's written "da Tentativa Informação"

but it is suposed to be "Tentativa da Informação"

it is not translated wrong

but the words are unorganized

[manic zealot]

it's just weird, huh?

[frozen swan]

yea

[manic zealot]

like not how a native speaker would say it

[frozen swan]

yes

[frozen swan]

"da Rodada Pontuação" same thing

[frozen swan]

it is this joker plus the 2 discards vouchers

[manic zealot]

I figured it was

pretty sure that's the only way to get so many discards

[marsh vine]

red deck

[manic zealot]

other than that

[terse dock]

cheating

[marsh vine]

or those two

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[marsh vine]

I hate erratic deck, gold stake and also every single joker that appears in my shop

[manic zealot]

but the nat negative blueprint loves you

[stark karma]

Are all 20 hands needed to naneinf?

[manic zealot]

no I don't think so

[marsh vine]

my god

[versed path]

most temporary joker on earth

[marsh vine]

it's 7AM and I am hearing birds outside

can I just get the gold stkae

well
my alarm just went off

[serene forge]

straights good

[visual arch]

surely ill get naneinf this time?

i actually dont know how to proceed here, genuinely

[plush cloak]

GG at 328 hours lmao

[marsh vine]

after 6 hours of playing erratic deck

the one time I get wee joker

by deck looks like this

[peak crest]

blue stake tips? i genuinely don’t know why but i am HARDSTUCK at this ante and i can’t get past like ante 5-6

[ornate orchid]

Paint the stakes red

[patent sail]

i lowk just throw attempts at a wall until i get a clear strat to follow

only real advice here is play pairs i guess? applies to any high stake really

once you got a good scaling pair/hc build you dont even need to discard anymore so the main difficulty point of blue stake goes away

i guess just look for scaling chips/mult/xmult and try to go for smaller hands

thats it

[marsh vine]

what if

you don't get good scaling

[patent sail]

well that is a shame

any (non-negative) scaling is good really

[peak crest]

from what i’ve learned

you lose

[patent sail]

something like square joker seems ass, but its actually pretty good

my first gold stake run had him ❤️‍🩹

[fringe nebula]

what do you need to do when you only have 2 discards instead of 3? that's right! fix your deck harder or just play pairs

[patent sail]

i mean obv pairs/hc are always the answer

stuntman + green hc spam 🥹

[marsh vine]

hmmmm

[patent sail]

so like youre still gonna lose runs if you dont get good levels or some xmult

[marsh vine]

im not in control of what I get

[patent sail]

well that is fair

[fringe nebula]

is that erratic

[marsh vine]

yes

so am I

frequently

[peak crest]

just gotta throw more runs into the machine until you get something good i guess

that’s what i’ve been doing

[marsh vine]

yeah

[peak crest]

but i’m ass so it doesn’t work anyway

[patent sail]

i mean some people get 50%+ winrates which is insane

you can work with anything technically

but there are certain things you still wanna look for whenever possible

[marsh vine]

I know some things

it's just

I will lose this by ante 5

[patent sail]

red card is really good

[marsh vine]

disputable

[patent sail]

what kinda jokers you pick up anyway?

[marsh vine]

useful? of course
good? sure
really good? ehhh

[patent sail]

i mean idk guaranteed +6 every blind if you got tge econ

pretty good id say

[peak crest]

i really like to run photochad when i can but most of the time it’s only the photo or only the chad

just most face card stuff

[patent sail]

yeah so uh

as good as it is

[compact elm]

Erratic was also my last gold stake, it just do be like that sometimes

[versed path]

C++ in no time

[patent sail]

there are other good jokers 😭

[versed path]

That might be my favorite seed ever

[patent sail]

i shall go 🐈🎉🎉🎉

[analog estuary]

never losing any balatro game again or winning 1 single game of your choice (ANY type of game) no matter what, but only once

[peak crest]

-# i love spare trousers too

[analog estuary]

which one yall prefer

[patent sail]

now thats based

strong scaler

[peak crest]

-# and mystic summit even if it can’t go very far

[analog estuary]

you a normal person

some stuff just are so great they cant be hated

like trousers or flower pot

[peak crest]

i’ve tried to use flower pot i just can’t ever get it to work for me

i’ve heard it works with wild cards

[analog estuary]

how so?

its so strong

[peak crest]

maybe i was just playing the wrong cards idk i haven’t tried in a while

[sacred pike]

triboulet into eternal Blueprint
holy lets F gooo

[peak crest]

i’ll try picking it up again when i see it

[peak crest]

everyone gets these damn runs BUT me… 💔

[analog estuary]

ok now which deck i do gold stake now

[peak crest]

plasma

[marsh vine]

mine

[analog estuary]

ive done all first 5, ghost plasma zodiac anaglyph

even tho i still need to beat zodiac and anaglyph AGAIN cuz i did it in mobile

so im doing them later

[peak crest]

painted maybe?

[analog estuary]

sure

[marsh vine]

you've got to be kidding m

[peak crest]

this is the luck you never see streamers get

[analog estuary]

perishable perishable

[sweet pollen]

found a natural
negative blueprint

[peak crest]

this is what the plebeians get while localthunk blesses roffle with 4 chads and a photo…

[analog estuary]

how u gonna buy that tho

[sweet pollen]

sold egg

[analog estuary]

stopid

[peak crest]

shop 1 dna? interesting

now i have to

find a use for it

[sweet pollen]

i love going to school on saturdays ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 yes i want to wake up at 7 am ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 yes i only got 1 day off❤️‍🩹

[analog estuary]

you are gonna start cloning useless cards and when you check your full deck you are gonna be like "oops! its all 6's!"

[tardy spade]

it can get you to flush five early

for good or for worse

[sweet pollen]

who wouldnt like a lot of 6s in the deck

[analog estuary]

you didnt get it...

[peak crest]

i slipped

[subtle drum]

school on saturday?? how come

[peak crest]

it’s dead

[sweet pollen]

i didn’t apparently

[tardy spade]

more cards is not necessarily a good thing

[sweet pollen]

most high schools in italy do that

[subtle drum]

really?

that's unfortunate

[peak crest]

THEY WONT STOP GIVING ME ANTE 1 WALKIE TALKIE

[subtle drum]

could be worse

[peak crest]

PLEASE LOCALTHUNK I DONT LIKE THIS JOKER

[sweet pollen]

yeah

[analog estuary]

bad taste

how can you not like it

[sweet pollen]

for ante 1 it’s pretty good

[peak crest]

just not my favorite to use but i recognize that it’s good early game

[analog estuary]

whats ur favorite then

[peak crest]

banana

i love gambling

lemme get a oops all 6s with that banana too…

[subtle drum]

NOOOO

throwback goated

[peak crest]

oh that’s a pillar

the run is dead

[marsh vine]

3 games in a row; this is mockery

[heavy heron]

guys my finger slipped and i sold yorick how tragic

[visual arch]

does anyone know how to make the boss reroll NOT give an ante 8 boss blind?

[peak crest]

half joker i could

kiss you idk

[sweet pollen]

thunk decided to spare them from the dagger ig

[heavy heron]

on ante 8?

you can’t!

[slow iris]

don't be on ante 8

[visual arch]

no... ante 32

[slow iris]

nop

[heavy heron]

oh..

no no workaround

[slow iris]

don't be on ante 32

[subtle drum]

why

[visual arch]

well that just killed my naneinf

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[visual arch]

RIP bro

[subtle drum]

same

[heavy heron]

negative luchador

that’s your workaround

[visual arch]

luchador would just disable the boss blind

but i need The Serpent

[peak crest]

maybe

[heavy heron]

wait

[peak crest]

i was too harsh on you

[heavy heron]

that’s not the issue

it’s lack of serpent

i see

[visual arch]

yea

[serene forge]

what are you trying to do

[sweet pollen]

dont ever do that again

[visual arch]

naneinf my brotha

[serene forge]

yeah don't be on ante 32

[analog estuary]

plower fot

[sweet pollen]

dont.

[serene forge]

ante 31 is your last chance

because you need serpent

[visual arch]

good thing i had a save state for Ante 31 lmao i just got it 😄

[analog estuary]

if you are at ante 8 you are gonna get an ante 8 boss blind theres no running from it

[peak crest]

do i potentially risk everything for the eternal chad

[tardy spade]

chicot
luchador

[sweet pollen]

if im on ante 9 will i get an ante 9 boss blind?

[peak crest]

ETERNAL CHAAADDD

[analog estuary]

i really dont think you thought this through

[analog estuary]

yes! there is a boss for each ante

[marsh vine]

do I take this and try the sacred pairs

[analog estuary]

for example, at only ante 5 you can find ante5theplant

[sweet pollen]

ok i was asking for a friend

[sweet pollen]

yes

[heavy heron]

don’t let ashy see this

[analog estuary]

ante 6 you could find ante6theplant tho

[visual arch]

this is really good to know. thankful for save states right now

[analog estuary]

that would sure drive her mad

lets wait 11.5 minutes and see

[heavy heron]

11.5 minutes shall be waited

[sweet pollen]

time to say bye bye to my negative bp

[visual arch]

the straight won't do it?

[heavy heron]

i still have all the madness pics

[sweet pollen]

you have been loved kidding

[sweet pollen]

nope

[sweet pollen]

lemme try

[visual arch]

make sure to put the blueprint on your highest mult option. Idk if that's popcorn or dagger here

[sweet pollen]

thats a mad amount of polychrome eternal
madnesses

[sweet pollen]

popcorn

[heavy heron]

it is, in fact, a mad amount of polychrome eternal madnesses

[subtle drum]

absolute madness

[sweet pollen]

indeed

[analog estuary]

this image is eternal

[wraith iris]

shop 1 blue deck, what's the better play? i think it's green, right?

[analog estuary]

will stay in my head eternally or for like 5-11.5 years

[marsh vine]

I would take the foil

[wooden sluice]

green and maybe buffoon

[peak crest]

always bet on chad

[wooden sluice]

methinks

[analog estuary]

fuck grimbo take buffoon just gamble

[wooden sluice]

you can do both

[subtle drum]

how do i beat ante 1 small blind

[wraith iris]

what would i find that's better than green?

[marsh vine]

skip for throwback

[analog estuary]

no cuz if shit joker then sell then abstract

[wooden sluice]

high flush, or a queen high straight usually

[wraith iris]

flush

[subtle drum]

nah but like i can't even find a flush

[wooden sluice]

no, “shit joker” would have to sell for 4$

[wooden sluice]

idk what to tell you man

just commit to a rank

and use hands as discards if necessary

[analog estuary]

look at the ss again

[wooden sluice]

suit*

[wraith iris]

you should be able to beat round 1 with one hand around 90% of the time with 3 discards, and a little less than that with only 2

[wooden sluice]

wow my eyes are great jesus christ

[heavy heron]

oooo i wouldn’t pass up on the foil

very strong early start

[wraith iris]

man i got 2 votes for green and 2 for foil lol

i think with blue deck i gotta go for scaling green

5 hands is so good

[subtle drum]

def abstract

[analog estuary]

depends, are you a master at playing balatro or you play the game because its fun

[lunar gate]

ah yes the usual triboulet run

[wraith iris]

i just wanna win

lol

[subtle drum]

frfr

[analog estuary]

then you think simple

take abstract

will be more fun

[umbral sundial]

is this good joker order?

[fringe nebula]

a straight, a flush or a full house

for a full house, the lowest you can do to for 300 score is three 10 and a pair of 3
for a straight, the lowest you can do for 300 score is queen,jack,10,9,8
for a flush, i'm too lazy to count

[marsh vine]

order doesn't matter here

[glossy mortar]

So this is the first time I’m questioning it but what actually does photograph do?

[analog estuary]

wdym order that aint no order there

just matters when you got xmult

[umbral sundial]

oh okay

[analog estuary]

(or brainstorm)

[glossy mortar]

Like where does the x2 mult it gives come from?

[subtle drum]

yeah i've memorised what i need to 1-shot, i'm just struggling to get it

[analog estuary]

jokers trigger from left to right so always xmult at the right

[marsh vine]

the first Face card that gets scored, will double your mult

[analog estuary]

not always but pretty much 95% ofthe cases

[fringe nebula]

just win with 2 hands man

[marsh vine]

the mult that you will have at that point can cone from Mult enhanced cards; Poker Hand levels; or jokers that mult to your playing cards (if the face card is moved to be on their right)

you can also retrigger the first face card

[subtle drum]

black deck is unfair tho lol

i do everything right and still have zero hope of getting anywhere near ante 8

[fringe nebula]

black deck is a different matter

[subtle drum]

real

ts is a prison

[quartz ember]

discard smarter, save money, scaling jokers

[analog estuary]

holy fuck i beat black gold stake yesterday and i feel so much lighter

[subtle drum]

HOW

[wraith iris]

well, it seems to have worked out

[subtle drum]

I'VE BEEN ON BLACK DECK ORANGE STAKE FOR WEEKS

[wraith iris]

still need scaling mult (maybe?), but good start

playing pairs

[analog estuary]

half the time dead ante 1, 45% dead ante 2, rest dead further

[subtle drum]

IT'S LIKE ALMOST ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE

[fringe nebula]

it's possible

[quartz ember]

i beat it first try

[analog estuary]

casually one of the luckiest runs ive had in a while

[subtle drum]

ikrrrr exactly

[subtle drum]

yeah sure you did

[analog estuary]

looked like this

[quartz ember]

you underestimate the power of watching BU

[analog estuary]

no but really i had this build for the entire game

[subtle drum]

ikr it's so annoying u need that 1 in a million run where everything goes perfectly

[fringe nebula]

i'm starting to talk to myself because of bu whenever i play balatro

[marsh vine]

attending a university doesn't help you, if you are hopeless (me)

[subtle drum]

it only does so much, as i said u need insane luck to get anywhere

[subtle drum]

fr

[analog estuary]

got like 6x at constellation 70 at tarot merchant and even got a late bs to get my score to like 4 mil

[analog estuary]

yeah but thats only on black tho

[subtle drum]

so tired of people denying the fact that this game is brutally difficult

[quartz ember]

you can also use skill instead of luck

[subtle drum]

not really

[marsh vine]

it's not brutally difficult

[analog estuary]

never had a problem winning in any other deck after i beat my 2 first gold stakes

[quartz ember]

oh i'm not denying that at all

[subtle drum]

alright bro

[marsh vine]

it's just

[quartz ember]

black gold is super difficult

[marsh vine]

the vast majority of people that enjoy it (me included) don't know how to play it

[quartz ember]

but you can learn

[fringe nebula]

well, planning and math are parts of the game so ofcourse it's hard

[subtle drum]

nah but u can do everything right and still lose thousands of times in a row

[analog estuary]

game gets easier when you realize that perishables arent useless just cuz they wont last so long, rentals have some really cool features cuz it costs and sells for 1 dollar, eternals can be useful on multiple situations, game aint that hard in most of it

[ebon condor]

theres a line bxt "this game is fully solved" and "this game is entirely rng" and balatro rides it

[quartz ember]

thats just incorrect

[ebon condor]

99% of seeds can be won if you play right

[analog estuary]

no actually

[ebon condor]

but 99% of players cant play that well

[fringe nebula]

got negative baseball

[subtle drum]

but how am i supposed to know the exact path to victory

[fringe nebula]

vampire is ecto

[fringe nebula]

by learning

[ebon condor]

play the meta, generally

it can be done

[quartz ember]

by learning from your mistakes to play well

[subtle drum]

every time it's different, you can't "learn" rng

[ebon condor]

but you can be informed on the generally most beneficial decisions

[quartz ember]

you dont know the path, you just do the optimal play and its enough to win

[ebon condor]

like

[subtle drum]

trust me i'm doing the optimal path

😭

[marsh vine]

it's like chess

there is countless possible scenarios

you can learn what works and what doesn't

[ebon condor]

you open the a1 buffoon pack, and its green joker and seance

[quartz ember]

ok then win

[subtle drum]

it's not that simple

[ebon condor]

theres a very obviously correct pick there right?

[fringe nebula]

balatro has a format to it y'know

the planet levels, the deck fixing, the enhancements, the seals, the mult, the chips

even with different jokers, the format still applies

[subtle drum]

i'm going insane

[analog estuary]

you can learn to adapt to the problems the game throws at you, trust me, everything at your screen can be thought out to find the best way possible to win

[ebon condor]

now lets say you open a mega arcana pack, and its temperance, chariot, emperor, fool, and justice

[marsh vine]

that's part of the process

[subtle drum]

no, everything is situational

[ebon condor]

there are so many layers to that decsion

[ebon condor]

if you think there is a situation where a1 buffoon pack seance over groker is the correct decision that may be your issue

[quartz ember]

yes, so in that situation there is a correct pick

[marsh vine]

can I get some xmult

[fringe nebula]

no

nice job tho

[analog estuary]

the ante you are in, the boss blind of that ante, how your deck is doing, how your temperance could pay, how useful chariot would be in that build, its something to actually stop and think for a sec

[quartz ember]

bs~=2x mult

[analog estuary]

not everything

[ebon condor]

not to mention which cards would be best to use the justice and chariot on

[vestal copper]

u can

[ebon condor]

if you think your play is optimal and youre losing, its not

[analog estuary]

seance is not situational because seance is the most useless fucking joker in the game

[quartz ember]

you cant learn rng, but you can learn probability

[ebon condor]

your gameplay might be good, but good players are fallible

[subtle drum]

rtb

[vestal copper]

seance and stone joker are genuinely f tier

[subtle drum]

dgmw i agree but like

green joker could be worse in some situations

[analog estuary]

you cant be serious

[quartz ember]

rtb what???

[vestal copper]

rtb slander in the big 2026 💔

[subtle drum]

the issue is u can't see the future so you'll never know

[vestal copper]

its like a tier

[analog estuary]

no stone has its uses

rare but could help a ton

[marsh vine]

banana and my only glass card break at once

sure

[vestal copper]

im not sure about that

[ebon condor]

tell me a situation where, on the first shop, an unstickered seance is a better decision than an unstickered groker

[fringe nebula]

that is where predictions come in

or just have more money for reroll

[ebon condor]

without insane rng

[analog estuary]

you can actually

[vestal copper]

there just arent

[subtle drum]

vro what

[analog estuary]

you can know the exact chips you need throughout ALL rounds and also see the next 3 blinds when you enter the ante

thats enough for me

[subtle drum]

it just scales too fast

[analog estuary]

@subtle drum first thing you can improve is so simple it sounds like a joke, but just remember to ALWAYS check the boss blind before even entering small blind

[subtle drum]

im convinced that most of the time there's nothing u can do

[analog estuary]

if you are gonna scale fast too depends more on you than your luck

[analog estuary]

tell that to the guys who have more than 100 winstreak

[ebon condor]

well then you have a long way to improve my friend

[vestal copper]

tell that to drspectred

[ebon condor]

the journey may seem daunting, but trust me, once you get good, youll laugh at yourself for even thinking that

[vestal copper]

c++ deathless 🐐

[marsh vine]

and also 1000s of hours on the game

[cosmic coyote]

Sorry to interrupt convo, but I'm having an issue. I reduced my hand size to 5 cards for the paint brush voucher upgrade, but the voucher hasn't unlocked. got to 5 hand size using stuntman and ouija in ghost deck. wondering if anyone knows why it hasn't unlocked

[analog estuary]

no but really, it has to be genuine bait

[ebon condor]

eh

[analog estuary]

i dont think hes serious

[ebon condor]

ive heard it enough times

[subtle drum]

bruh

every time

[ebon condor]

this game can feel really hard when you first get to high stakes

i get it

it took me 40+ runs to get my first win on gold

[marsh vine]

teach me

[fringe nebula]

AND considering the fact that they're playing black deck

[analog estuary]

ok

[ebon condor]

oh shit for real?

[quartz ember]

are you sure ypu didnt unlock it already and just didnt notice

[echo owl]

I lost my 40 hours of progress wtf do i do

[subtle drum]

i don't think i've won a game for a few thousand runs

lmao

[analog estuary]

took me a while too

[vestal copper]

you either be stuck and improve or be me and get photochad every single game

[analog estuary]

my first win was at plasma

[ebon condor]

that seems like an exaggeration

[quartz ember]

then play lower stake

[analog estuary]

id say like 30 hours plus

[cosmic coyote]

im sure

[ebon condor]

and if thats the case, work on something thats more doable for you

[fringe nebula]

play yellow deck first will ya

[analog estuary]

how so

[fringe nebula]

or blue

[ebon condor]

did you finish the run?

[patent sail]

Insabe

[vague wedge]

this is so real

[echo owl]

I deleted lovely injector and all the mods and now my collection is still there but i lost all my stakes

[vague wedge]

tbh i struggled with purple stake so much

[analog estuary]

who let you in this conversation bro 💔

[fringe nebula]

dude i still remember my reaction towards seeing violet vessel for the first time

[cosmic coyote]

i have not. i thought it would trigger when i achieved 5 hand size, same way jokers unlock instantly

[tardy spade]

I reduced my hand size to 5 completely by accident since I was always taking ectoplasms when I first started playing (more jokers = more score right?)

[ebon condor]

try finishing the run, and see if the unlock popup shows up afterwards

[patent sail]

Me

[patent sail]

Do you have steammodded?

[vague wedge]

i wonder how people get the gold sticker on all jokers

[subtle drum]

it won't give me a chance to get photochad before it scales too fast and i die because i can't even afford any jokers

[analog estuary]

press win + r then type appdata then enter, go roaming, balatro folder and copy the balatro folder and paste it in another place (backup), uninstall the game and install again (just gonna check for cloud save first) if it doesnt work there are still other methods

[vague wedge]

the painted deck strat(i may get the deck's name wrong)?

[ebon condor]

all it takes is being okay at gold stake and having a lot of free time

[subtle drum]

maybe, who knows

[cosmic coyote]

yes, but i have unlocks enabled (only using QoL mods)

[fringe nebula]

2-4 jokers carry
1-2 jokers deadweight

[patent sail]

If yes i had the same issue, its likely bugged and wont work

[fringe nebula]

that's how

[vague wedge]

fair 😭

[echo owl]

ok lemme try rq

[peak plinth]

Niceeeeeee

[vague wedge]

ye

[subtle drum]

it's fine i'll just kms

[analog estuary]

oh ok, thanks for letting me now, i almost got mad

[patent sail]

That voucher is broken

I had the same issur

[cosmic coyote]

bruuuuh

[cosmic coyote]

lemme turn off mods and relaunch the game

[patent sail]

You should force the unlock through console

[subtle drum]

trash

[analog estuary]

peak

[ebon condor]

dont hate on my goat

[patent sail]

That wont work i think, its steammodded thats causing it

[vague wedge]

iv had this happen on a bloodstone run

😭

[patent sail]

I tried it too

[ebon condor]

once the blue stake nerf happens and wild cards are buffed we'll see whos laughing

[subtle drum]

ok i won't interact

fair enough

[ebon condor]

i got my pot stakes in early its gonna be s tier next patch trust

[cosmic coyote]

im still gonna try it real quick, if it doesn't work i'll do it thru console. thank you for the support btw

[echo owl]

didn't work unfortunately @analog estuary

[quartz ember]

hmm I wonder if there was any way to prevent this

[patent sail]

Do you have tier 2 of hone unlocked yet? That one is broken too afaik

[analog estuary]

you are using the profile 1 right?

[echo owl]

I still have my collection just not all my stakes

[echo owl]

yes

[patent sail]

Chat are we bringing THE IMAGE into February 7th

[cosmic coyote]

i do, i remember unlocking it before i installed steammodded

[patent sail]

Good

[analog estuary]

go in the same balatro folder and rename the 1 folder to 1_old

then open game

[echo owl]

ok lemme try

the folder i backed up or the new one

[analog estuary]

new one, back up you wont touch until something goes worse

[echo owl]

ok

[vestal copper]

get that econ up

[analog estuary]

fuck you ashy

[wraith iris]

stupid mistakes lol, accidentally played too many high cards cycling through my deck and ended up a little short

[cosmic coyote]

game crashes when i try to continue my run lmao. console it is, i guess

[wraith iris]

what does it mean "new discoveries"? i didn't see anything new in the run, my collection has no notifications

[analog estuary]

• 5'4 guy

[echo owl]

it didn't work @analog estuary

[analog estuary]

a sec

[echo owl]

ok

[analog estuary]

you either try to do some backup using these folders (that i cant even explain how you would do that) or manually changing the game stats

inside folder 1 check if theres a meta.jkr folder

[subtle drum]

i can't

it scales too fast

[vestal copper]

why

[echo owl]

there is

[vestal copper]

what hands are you looking for in early game

[analog estuary]

try to open with notepad

if u cant, download notepad++

[echo owl]

I did it's just a bunch of jumble and symbols

[analog estuary]

jumble and symbols is your save

send me the text in my dms ill see what i can do

[echo owl]

alright

[sullen aspen]

do I reroll?
I dont have retcon but I have already seen the goad and plant

[marsh vine]

you could consider playing pair instead of high card

idk how much you score

[sullen aspen]

e72

[marsh vine]

with a pair, that is almost certainly enough
you just won't get the DNA this one round

[sullen aspen]

copying dna

[visual arch]

does anyone have the link to the youtube video where the person naneinf'd at ante 8

[analog estuary]

@patent sail you done with the toomfoolery twin 🥀

[light lagoon]

no this game sucks

[tawdry rock]

meeoooow

[marsh vine]

my deck has 50 cards and has 10 aces
hand size 8
in 3 hands and 2 discards I draw 2

this game is bullshit

[stray sinew]

le blessed run

green joker and walkie talkie too

done

9 jokers left.

[fringe nebula]

hit the road unlocked

[vestal copper]

gg

[marsh vine]

don't you come back no more no more no more no more

[sullen aspen]

even steven and stm?😭

[fringe nebula]

funny how mr bones is one of the first 5 jokers that got gold sticker on this savefile

[stray sinew]

the only odd one here is me bc u gotta be odd to be no. 1

[zenith raven]

Very nice

[sullen aspen]

do I pickup bean?
its crimson heart

[visual arch]

It's funny to me. On my first playthrough of C++, it ended with Fortune Teller being my most used joker. Now on my second playthrough it's basically my firust used again, but brainstorm and blueprint are ahead of it so they don't really count imo

[marsh vine]

my gold stickers include:
jimbo
misprint
gros michel
burglar
mail-in rebate
fortune teller
luchador
walkie talkie
swashbuckler
merry andy

[heady fable]

Fortune teller is one of my goats

[zenith raven]

I just got ice cream and faceless thanks to this beautiful Hologram stack up

[stray sinew]

all my homies love certif+holo

got me my black deck gold stake win

[livid temple]

on the verge

wrong ss

[stray sinew]

Again!

[fringe nebula]

e307

..........

very close

[vestal copper]

close call

gl on that naneinf

[zenith raven]

I haven’t checked which jokers, but I’m getting close

[ancient thistle]

OHHH MYY GAAHHHH SECOND WIN CHAT I AM IMPROVING

[wanton breach]

my gold stickers:
hanging chad
photograph
i forgot the rest

[marsh vine]

hm

wonder how did that run happen

[visual arch]

there are dozens of us

[wanton breach]

usually i play flush with photochad strat

also, the word "that run" is an understatement

almost all of my gold stake run is won by having photochad

[ancient thistle]

🥹

[zenith raven]

What do the stats in your name mean

[marsh vine]

progress towards these achievements

[zenith raven]

Ah

[marsh vine]

when upgrading a card with Strength; do the extra chips from hiker stay?

[zenith raven]

Yes they’re permanent

[marsh vine]

thnaks

[zenith raven]

Unless you use something like death on a card

Then it mirrors whatever the card on the right has

[tawdry rock]

gonna try to get my second gold stake win today

hopefully jimbo shows up in ante 8 and saves the run

[fringe nebula]

erratic full skip run

[pale ridge]

What hands do I even play

[fringe nebula]

depends on the jokers/planets/tarots/spectral you get

[median gust]

Bro

you need to put that joker in the left, all the way to the right

To get bigger score

[subtle drum]

this game omg

[median gust]

Oh man the flint sucks for early antes

Personally, I hate it. You need something that gives you +20 mult to beat it easily

[copper quartz]

first time i win on pc (i reached ghost deck on mobile)

[median gust]

Like the suit jokers

[copper quartz]

love polychrome lucky cards

[median gust]

Excellent congrats!

[subtle drum]

i mean i don't mind the flint it's more the blind requirement like bruh

[copper quartz]

and i only got photograph until ante 8 when i was constantly rerolling the shop for it 😭

[median gust]

Its both bc you’ll now have to score the equivalent of 4k since its halved 💀

[glossy mortar]

How do you see what stickers are on which jokers?

[median gust]

There’s a toggle in settings

[subtle drum]

true

[median gust]

Did u pass that ante?

[glossy mortar]

No i have that enabled. I mean to see it outside of game.

Like the collection only shows you the highest you have it on. Not all of them.

[warm lodge]

is this rare?

[median gust]

🤔 I’m not sure that there’s a way to see all of them

[subtle drum]

not really

[median gust]

Why u all zoomed in lmfao

[warm lodge]

what

[median gust]

It’s semi rare to get 2 additions. Do you have the vouchers ? It could be more common that way

[warm lodge]

no voucher

[glossy mortar]

Then why does the game display that as a thing and there even is an achievement for it?

[warm lodge]

but its like my 4th run or smth

[subtle drum]

2 editions is impossible

[marsh vine]

pretty sure only the highest sticker matters

[subtle drum]

it's an edition and a seal

which is not really rare

[marsh vine]

they said addition; with an a

[median gust]

The achievement is only for gold stake jokers for completing all

[subtle drum]

yeah but they must've meant edition otherwise it doesn't make sense

[glossy mortar]

Nope. It shows on your profile. You need all the stickers on every stake.

[marsh vine]

this?

[glossy mortar]

It’s weird it says that when there is no possible way to actually see your progress on it

[marsh vine]

pretty sure if you unlock a sticker; it will count all the ones under it as also completed

[glossy mortar]

I feel like that should not be in the game at all.

[marsh vine]

since this

[median gust]

Oh you mean scrolling on new run?

You can see your progress on decks

But not on jokers

[glossy mortar]

I don’t think so? Then again I’ve been playing them in order, not succession so i wouldn’t be able to tell.

[warm lodge]

quession: if a card has a chance of destroying itself, does it get destroyed from the deck?

[median gust]

Yes

[warm lodge]

ok thx

[median gust]

Gone forever. Death and glass

[warm lodge]

ye it was glass

[graceful oasis]

hip hip, HOORAY

[median gust]

GOATTT

[graceful oasis]

when you get a gold sticker it does all the stickers under it

[median gust]

Anyone know total # of decks

[marsh vine]

15

[twin spindle]

Hello! Would anyone possibly know how to be able to ever get in contact to provide official translations for the game? I see plenty of languages and would like to contribute my own (Serbian) :)

[median gust]

I have 5 gold so far so I wanna put that on my name

Nice so I’m 1/3

[twin spindle]

GGs

[median gust]

Like this?

Does that make sense lol

[graceful oasis]

indeed

i would infer you have 5/15 gold stake looking at that

[subtle drum]

wtf why can't i post a tom and jerry gif

says it's blocked

[graceful oasis]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1947-joseph-barbera-tom-cat-y9QemIlaYYWdi

[subtle drum]

https://giphy.com/gifs/redbrick-testing-mic-check-leadpages-B4xdycvhDq7qM3cdh2

ok so other gifs work

[median gust]

Mine didn’t

Any trending don’t work

[subtle drum]

interesting

[graceful oasis]

https://giphy.com/gifs/breakfast-bacon-egg-3oEdv9R4D62GPrVY4g

my trending works

[median gust]

Mine all say no

And I’ve tried 6

[sharp plank]

my favourites dont work

[subtle drum]

i was trying to send it because it's the one alex's pfp is from and i happen to have it favorited

[twin spindle]

woah trending gif didnt work for me either

[subtle drum]

and it's funny

hmm weird

[graceful oasis]

ok my favorites are too naughty

[subtle drum]

yeah that one makes sense 💀

[sharp plank]

mine arent even that bad

[graceful oasis]

all my OJ simpson reaction gifs are also blocked

[sullen aspen]

yay!

shortly after I spent 1000 and someway somehow didn't get a serpent 💔💔💔

[zenith raven]

Yes. If you get a gold sticker it unlocks all under it for that joker too

[median gust]

Wow I’ve never seen e110 that’s amazing

[graceful oasis]

oh boy youve started it

[median gust]

Hehe I know what I did 😛

[graceful oasis]

waiting for the um ackshuallys ive made it to e300 to come in

[median gust]

Bro I’d be impressed if someone got e10 with 4 jokers

[graceful oasis]

ive never gotten to e lol never cared to

[graceful oasis]

endless is for CHUMPS

[median gust]

my highest is e11

[graceful oasis]

i think my biggest is 65 billion

[median gust]

Highest win streak?

[graceful oasis]

shit prolly like 5

[median gust]

Even in white stake it’s hard to comfortably win every time

[rancid gull]

bro is a white stake warrior

[median gust]

Wdym

Never heard that before

[last geyser]

Remember that time I had 5 eternal polychrome madness with 11.5x mult

[subtle drum]

that's actually really impressive

[subtle drum]

yep

[graceful oasis]

i only ever go up in difficulties so i can guarantee you that was probably white to red or whatever on some deck

[sharp plank]

holy shit

[median gust]

Same

[umbral sundial]

first win!!

[median gust]

Screenshot or it didn’t happen

[graceful oasis]

bigs ups show the build

[median gust]

lmao u sent it already

Haha

[median gust]

lovely photo Chad combo

[graceful oasis]

photochad we meet again

WITH smiley face

[last geyser]

Yes 🙃

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (last shop Dice, dont need it tho but its fun)

[median gust]

U used flushes or high cards or what

[subtle drum]

congrats!!

[subtle drum]

yeah fair enough

[manic talon]

Its every tenor gif

[livid temple]

85 hand size but i forgot to change joker order, RIP

atleast i just scored naneinf for the first time last ante

[marsh vine]

I love getting 60 econ and then dying on round 5

[sullen aspen]

natural neg troubador?

[livid temple]

from a negative skip

[sullen aspen]

thats crazy

[manic talon]

Couldve main menu'd in the 5 minutes the naneinf took

[livid temple]

ohhh shiiit ur right

[manic talon]

Lol

[livid temple]

oh well

it was a good run anyways

[manic talon]

This is what endless does to your brain

[umbral sundial]

what card do i replace

i found this blueprint joker for the first time

[pale ridge]

YORICK HATER

???

[manic talon]

Sell supernova

[patent sail]

smiley tbh

[livid temple]

smiley or supernova, probably doesnt matter which one

[manic talon]

Smiley is slightly more useful

[livid temple]

copy photo

[manic talon]

While supernova does absolutely nothing because it goes after photochad

[umbral sundial]

so like this

[patent sail]

photo

[livid temple]

copy photo

[patent sail]

copy photo

[wraith iris]

the entire point of the run was to unlock the duo, it's my last joker unlock

[livid temple]

what are ur hand levels

[patent sail]

mhm

[livid temple]

yes

[wraith iris]

no idea when it happened, but it's really hard to avoid lol

[simple jacinth]

balatro players try not to force pairs challenge (impossible)

[patent sail]

well now that i think about it that is true, but its honestly not that big of deal, i bet they still live

[wraith iris]

i mean fair.... but it still happens every run just when you use hands as discards

[manic talon]

Yea, they have a lv 23 pair so it doesnt matter, but pair doesnt have that much mult to leverage photochad before you have enough levels, so knowing how smiley work is important

[brittle kernel]

should i get 2nd jopker

[wraith iris]

i will have you know i dont force pairs every game

[patent sail]

everybody hates that one 😭

[brittle kernel]

why

[patent sail]

its kinda unreliable

the bloodstone

[wraith iris]

sometimes it just decides to not do anything lol

[brittle kernel]

so my jokers are nice?

[brittle kernel]

haha true

[patent sail]

1/2 can screw you over at the worst possible moment

tbh its better in endless i guess

whats tarot guy at?

[manic talon]

Just win the coinflip man smh

[patent sail]

you could replace fortune teller with bloodstone and find something to replace lusty later, though it can screw you over so like be prepared

[manic talon]

Depends on your flush level

[livid temple]

legit had 4 bloodstones once and died because they didnt trigger enough

i was scoring comfrotably above that too

[brittle kernel]

14

[honest patrol]

Spicy meatball

[pale ridge]

YORICK IS A GOOD JOKER YOU YORICK SLANDERER

[livid temple]

ig bloodstone would be a good pick here but your fate is in the hands of the RNGods

[manic talon]

Probably better than fortune teller, but wont save you for long

[patent sail]

find a better joker than lusty tbh

[brittle kernel]

hm

what to do here

[patent sail]

that +3 isnt gonna take you far

[pale ridge]

HC maybe

[brittle kernel]

on which

[patent sail]

bonus 10?

[brittle kernel]

hc on bonus 10?

[patent sail]

i guess so

[tawdry rock]

waddup

[patent sail]

🐈

[pale ridge]

wasap

[brittle kernel]

i made it lol

[violet lagoon]

Use the stone, get another heart, then do a flush and remain the axes

[tawdry rock]

work on your econ

like seriously

[patent sail]

ox ate it

[tawdry rock]

try your best to copy your good cards

[wraith iris]

yeah you can tell lol

[brittle kernel]

it was boss ox

[tawdry rock]

how much did he eat

[patent sail]

anf they got temperance so like its okay ish

[tawdry rock]

me when my chocolate comes tempered

[patent sail]

he was so hungry he could eat

[tawdry rock]

🐴

[wraith iris]

cows eat money in balatro apparently

[brittle kernel]

like i spent them all before entering the boos lol

[tawdry rock]

me when i enter a place called the boos which takes all my money upon entrance

[tawdry rock]

not this video again

[vestal copper]

oobs! all 0s!

[tawdry rock]

it was so loud the first time

i woke up my whole town

[patent sail]

it actually is that video again youre wrong

[vestal copper]

do you live in Peking

[tawdry rock]

my mistake

[tawdry rock]

my baron isn't pee colored what are you saying

[pale ridge]

How do u wake up an entire town with 1 video

[patent sail]

[queen current]

[vestal copper]

[tawdry rock]

yes

polychrome baron

[pale ridge]

Mines white

[patent sail]

this reminds me of a certain screenshot

[vestal copper]

minos white

[tawdry rock]

thank you localthunk for inventing gay so we can polychrome our barons

[queen current]

paperweight baron lets go

[tawdry rock]

perhaps five eternal ones

[vestal copper]

exactly 5 gay madness?

[patent sail]

not that one but thats also kinda crazy

[pale ridge]

Take: Madness is ass before black stake

[tawdry rock]

oh my god ante 2 round 1 this guy skips

[sullen aspen]

not rlly

[vestal copper]

11.5x on every single one, too

[sullen aspen]

its still good

[tawdry rock]

its sorta mad

[vestal copper]

not a take, just a truth

[tawdry rock]

it drives you to madness

[patent sail]

hot take: balatro is a game about cards

[sullen aspen]

before black stake the scaling isnt as big

so madness xmult paired with any high scoring hand is good

[vestal copper]

hot take: the take isnt good

[tawdry rock]

its a game about jokers. go get educated and come back liberal

[patent sail]

me when i take ride the bus and madness

[vestal copper]

checkmate conservatist

[pale ridge]

Owned the libs

[patent sail]

okay but consider this: balala

[tawdry rock]

@torpid bridge how do you feel about this

[vestal copper]

foolish

rtb is peam

[queen current]

should prolly hit the road by then
