[molten thicket]

what emotion does this convey

[unborn cliff]

one of them i think

[rich mauve]

I always wondered why localthunk didn't add a half joker that only works when you find the other part

then I realized

[patent sail]

that balatro players cant read and would never understand how it works or what to do

[vestal copper]

I GOT BLUEPRINT FROM A JUDGEMENT

[marsh swan]

Flower pot carries as always

[serene forge]

[foggy bane]

Youre gonna get naneinf for sure

[patent sail]

[pure pike]

Many folks

[lunar zealot]

there's a lot of reasons to dislike idiots without needing to make things up

flushes on abandoned are fine

[patent sail]

why would someone play flushes like ever when pairs are right there

or also like straights if its abandoned

[lunar zealot]

well on abandoned you'd play xoak over flush

[jolly relic]

cause flushes are better obviously

[pure pike]

Soon

[vestal copper]

[patent sail]

hanged man is my top 3

[spark flicker]

looks inside

[vestal copper]

crazy

[wicked rover]

if i use brainstorm and dusk will it retrigger twice on the final turn?

[hollow grove]

Card removals are very powerful

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vestal copper]

wise

[patent sail]

[primal eagle]

anaglyph

[vestal copper]

surely its abandoned

[spark flicker]

gl

[hollow grove]

Best wishes with your run

Which boss do you have

[wicked rover]

DISABLE ONE JOKER EVERY TURN

[marsh swan]

10 days in this game and I still only have red stake on nebula deck

[marsh swan]

Dusk carry

[patent sail]

copy cavendish with brainstorm cmon

[pure pike]

MONEYYY

[hollow grove]

Should be okay with 5 hands and 3 discards

Still scary though

[molten thicket]

grabber and clearance

[patent sail]

discardmaxxing

[wicked rover]

but having a xmult going first makes u not get as much

[patent sail]

but then you get it again at last

[wicked rover]

true

[atomic trout]

Damn you, ¡Señor Huesos!

It didn't work!

[hollow grove]

Me tooo

[molten thicket]

i just take (almost) every voucher i see

[spark flicker]

i got 69 hours on mobile but the game is very glitchy now after i updated my phone

[atomic trout]

What's 25% of 7 million?

[patent sail]

uhhhhhhhh

1.8

[spark flicker]

jimbo

[patent sail]

1.8 x 4 = 7.2

[atomic trout]

5,400,000 ewww

[patent sail]

???

[atomic trout]

That's 75%

[vocal rose]

dont think of it as a million

[patent sail]

25% is 1.8 mil

[vocal rose]

just do 25% initially and then add the zeros

but its 1.8m

[atomic trout]

7.2 Million x 25%

[patent sail]

1.8

[atomic trout]

1.8m

[patent sail]

we told you like 3 times 😭

[atomic trout]

And it didn't reach the threshold

[molten thicket]

idk i just know if i play a 2pair face-9 its exactly 900

[vocal rose]

you didnt get 1.8m

[potent tree]

where my diamond clan at peeps

@patent sail changing my name to smeared joker

[robust lance]

I removed my diamond role because of this

I lied I never had one

[vestal copper]

whats wrong with the diamonds

[wicked rover]

do i make it copy dusk on my last hand?

[patent sail]

if you dont make it

actually

do you even have effects to retrigger

[wicked rover]

it retriggers all cards so they score again

[patent sail]

like its not gonna do shit if you dont have any good effects on cards to retrigger

[hollow grove]

They don't really give you score

Also they're incompatible with blackboard

The money is nice though

And I like the Stardew Valley card art for them

[shell dagger]

It’s the same as 7 million % of 25, hope this helps

[patent sail]

youre the real ein of stein

[calm furnace]

omg lucha saved my run

[wicked rover]

final shop

[patent sail]

dont copy dusk unless you got enhancements

its literally not gonna do anything because none of the jokers have on card scoring effects

[molten thicket]

but it's chips

[patent sail]

if you have enhancements to retrigger sure

[shell dagger]

Whats the hand levels looking like

[wicked rover]

but it also lets them score again

[shell dagger]

I’d guess banana copy is worse than pants copy

[patent sail]

mmm if you draw those maybe

cavendish is still better tho

[patent sail]

x3 from cav is more than like 30 extra chips from cards

[pure pike]

Lucha is technically usefully useless in verdant leaf

[wicked rover]

but it retriggers all jokers lets everything score again

[patent sail]

not jokers

[wicked rover]

even cav

[shell dagger]

It doesnt retrigger jokers

[wicked rover]

oh

ok

[patent sail]

jokers dont get retriggred

[wicked rover]

cav then

[vocal mantle]

I have now completed every deck on gold stake in Balatro!

[shell dagger]

@wicked rover what are your hand levels

[patent sail]

cav or pants

[shell dagger]

And what’s pants at

[wicked rover]

lvl 1

[hollow grove]

Congrats!!!!

[shell dagger]

Yeah copy pants then

[rich mauve]

drinking water saved my life ahh

[wicked rover]

so what do i copy?

[shell dagger]

Pants

[fringe nebula]

gg!

[wicked rover]

whats pants

[patent sail]

what pants mult looking like

[shell dagger]

Copying cav does nothing (its +4 mult on a 2 pair)

[pure pike]

Atp i want a photochad nerf

[shell dagger]

Spare trousers

[abstract oyster]

PANTS!

[wicked rover]

oh

k

so i copy pants and get gives +32 mult

[patent sail]

okay yeah pants better

[patent sail]

cav at the end

actually idk its fine

wait n

cav after bs

[wicked rover]

im not american so i dont call trousers pants thats why i was confused mb

[fringe nebula]

cavendish at rightmost

[patent sail]

im not american either 😭

[shell dagger]

Neither

[wicked rover]

so i copy the trousers

[white flint]

im so good guys

[fringe nebula]

you will use obelisk more

[wicked rover]

gonna spend all my money]

[pure pike]

Im asian and idk the word trousers till i played balatro

[patent sail]

yes

and cavendish goes last

[wicked rover]

cuz final shop

[patent sail]

place it last

[hollow grove]

You crashed the obuslisk 🙁

[white flint]

totally didnt get really lucky cuz rare skip gave obelisk and i got antimatter

[abstract oyster]

It depends of your level hand

[patent sail]

xray challenge is the worst i wanna kms

[abstract oyster]

If is 15 or more just copy cavendish

[white flint]

i hate 15 minute city more

cuz i dont like ride the bus

[patent sail]

jokerless is easier ong i fucking HATE xray vision challenge

[wicked rover]

am i ready?

[patent sail]

as ready as youll ever be ig

[tender lotus]

yo can someone explain what DNA does? im so confused

[patent sail]

copies your card

thats it

[wicked rover]

on ur first discard if u discard only one card it makes a copy forever

[hollow grove]

You can use tarot cards (and also savescum)

Like if you use magician on flipped over cards, quit and reload; you'll see the cards then magician will still be unused when you reload

Suit changers are good because they let you see 3

Slowing game speed down helps seeing them

[patent sail]

not discard??

on first hand

[pure pike]

It aint the trading card

[tender lotus]

oh okay

[fringe nebula]

make a duplicate of a card

[pure pike]

Its the first one card played

[fickle mesa]

if your first played card in a round is just one card, it will make a copy of it

[patent sail]

i already beat xray vision on my phone can i just hack it oh my god

[fickle mesa]

dont listen to unstable

she is wrong

her answer is rather unstable

[patent sail]

what if they are like me and just like spreading misinformation

[tender lotus]

okay

[fickle mesa]

you usually use dna to make copies of very powerful cards

like gold/steel blue seals

[terse dock]

Bad

[wicked rover]

am i cooked

[fickle mesa]

dna is honestly a fine joker its just immensely overrated by the larger community

[calm sapphire]

what

[patent sail]

as soon as you said dna bad one spawned in

[calm sapphire]

dna isnt bad at all

[fringe nebula]

dna can be usable, but still.... hahaa

[terse dock]

Copy the banana

[calm sapphire]

but it isnt very good either

[patent sail]

no?

pants better in this case

[molten thicket]

dna has its own niche

[patent sail]

they are at +32

[molten thicket]

ig

[fickle mesa]

you dont often want to use it but when you do its pretty strong

[wicked rover]

38 now

[fringe nebula]

i usually make copies of glass cards with dna

[patent sail]

point still stands

[terse dock]

I hate dna

[wanton breach]

dice is just a myth

[terse dock]

RNA better

[wicked rover]

so am i cooked or no

[patent sail]

idk twin 😭

[fickle mesa]

i mean look if i had a card that added one gold card to my deck per round you know damn well id take that

[pure pike]

Nah

[fickle mesa]

dna is like that but more versitile

[patent sail]

install jokerdisplay mod if youre on pc

[harsh relic]

[wanton breach]

copy that banana

[patent sail]

no???

pants betterrrr

[wicked rover]

pants give 38

[patent sail]

they got like no mult on hand levels

[pure pike]

Do flush

[abstract oyster]

Guys
4×3 12+32 44×3 136
4+32+32 70×3 is 210

[abstract oyster]

Copy pants

[wanton breach]

ok, ur not ded then

[terse dock]

You can place the brainstorm in front of the pants when copying banana and get the best of both worlds

[wicked rover]

i didnt see that ty

[patent sail]

AHHHH put trigger warning next time im mathphobic

[abstract oyster]

Sorry

[terse dock]

5/15 = 1/3

[patent sail]

stop,,,,

[molten thicket]

why are we mathing in balatro

[terse dock]

2^0 = 1

[wicked rover]

dont worry math isnt real it wont hurt u

[patent sail]

localthunk is yet to invent math actually

[calm sapphire]

0^0 is undefined tho

[patent sail]

0^0 is a cute face

[pure pike]

There's alot of math in balatro

[abstract oyster]

Pants math!

[patent sail]

lie

[lyric karma]

indeterminate

[wicked rover]

💔

[terse dock]

Balatro is just a fancy calculator

[molten thicket]

spreading misinformation

[patent sail]

localthunk never invented math

[molten thicket]

no one knows how to math in balatro

[lyric karma]

Gg

[calm sapphire]

first grader level math

[lyric karma]

I do

[wanton breach]

how much chips in the square

[patent sail]

math is not real

[patent sail]

more than 5

[molten thicket]

we just see number and if it's big then it's good (mostly)

[calm furnace]

no

[abstract oyster]

You have a straight

[terse dock]

A lot of people still dont know about the commutative property

[pure pike]

It is..

[wicked rover]

100 chips square
38 mult trousers

[crimson hinge]

Is selling burnt joker for trading card worth it? (I have a level 49 high card)

[fickle mesa]

with the number of people asking for xchips youd think itd be advanced postgraduate mathematics

[calm furnace]

i sold it and won checkmate atheists

[molten thicket]

the devious crimson heart strikes again

[calm sapphire]

I think most people are just dumb

[patent sail]

its over...

[molten thicket]

yeah

[wicked rover]

is this bad

[calm sapphire]

either that or its the vocal bottom 10% making everyone look dumb

[hollow grove]

Just got this

Very satisfying

[wanton breach]

always worth it

[patent sail]

they shoukd add a joker that gives X0 chips for them

ofc i get a soul on xray vision challenge

and its chicot

okay

[molten thicket]

hey what happens if my mult is negative from debt + bootstraps

[fickle mesa]

its not very good but i sorta get why it was hard to grow those on white stake

[pure pike]

Every joker works in verdant leaf once sold, lucha disables the boss blind but the verdant leaf is technically disabled cuz you already sold one joker

[fickle mesa]

+0

[wicked rover]

100 chips square
38 mult trousers

[molten thicket]

that sucks

[patent sail]

jimbo mafia comes for you

[patent sail]

replace 6 with ace

[wicked rover]

good idea

now i press go and pray

[wanton breach]

what she said

[patent sail]

ace counts as 1 and gives 5 more chips

[molten thicket]

are they gonna bring cookies when they come here

[pure pike]

First time seeing someone use double tags in investment tag

[patent sail]

no

[molten thicket]

that sucks

[fickle mesa]

ya ante 2/3 investment can be pretty worth on anaglyph

[hollow grove]

A2345 gives more chips, no?

[abstract oyster]

Rip

[patent sail]

happens to the best of us

[molten thicket]

hearted 😔

[pure pike]

Pain

[hollow grove]

Anaglyph deck, gotta use them for something

But yeah it first time I've done it

[wicked rover]

so close to first win

[hollow grove]

RIP

[molten thicket]

why we always reroll heart

fuck heart

[patent sail]

my first win was thanks to mr bones lmao

[pure pike]

Better gamble with negative tags or economy tag for more money

[wanton breach]

my first win was thanks to photocard and hanging chad

[pure pike]

Samee

[molten thicket]

my first win was with pants i think

[terse dock]

My first win was thanks to hack fib cavendish

[molten thicket]

pants and constellation

[abstract oyster]

My first win was because of Pants and Baseball man (i don't remember the name)

[pure pike]

If someone didnt beat white stake with photochad then its a severe skill issue

[wanton breach]

i got my second win with pants and blueprint

[hollow grove]

or the died to the plant before they could reach ante 8

[fickle mesa]

actually you kinda dont need to lol

[hollow grove]

I know but it feels like a waste if you don't

[fickle mesa]

usually when i play anaglyph its basically just a basic deck

[fickle mesa]

its often a waste if you do tho

[patent sail]

i only recently got my first photochad win

[pure pike]

Oh yh, i forgot about that

[wanton breach]

i actually loose with photochad once to the plant

[fickle mesa]

photochad was my first ever win

and my second ever win

[vestal copper]

im fucking washed for today 🥀

[pure pike]

Its valid if its the

[fickle mesa]

i developed a strong dependence on photochad because i found them and was like "oh yay. i dont need to skill i just need these"

[fickle mesa]

nah

photochad easily bypasses the plant

just use glass cards

[wanton breach]

at least you're not stinky (get it? cuz you "washed")

[foggy bane]

I dont remember my first win at all but this is the screenshot my playstation took

[vestal copper]

truly

[fickle mesa]

your playstation did NOT take that screenshot

[foggy bane]

Yes it did

[fickle mesa]

your phone did

oh

wait

[wanton breach]

if i had the knowledge, making some glass ace would definitely win that run

[foggy bane]

Automatically when i got the achievement

[fickle mesa]

you took a picture of the screenshot

[foggy bane]

Yea

[fickle mesa]

i see now

i get it now

silly silly me!

[foggy bane]

You silly billy

You goofy goober

[vestal copper]

no gifs guh

[wanton breach]

[pure pike]

Off topic but aint that a tv?

[foggy bane]

Perhaps

[calm furnace]

my first win was luchadoor

my last win was luchad

lucha is winning

lucha is life

[wanton breach]

no gifs 💔💔

[lyric karma]

Luchagoat

[pure pike]

Lucha > chicot

[calm furnace]

lucha + chicot + mr bones is the best synergy in the game

[wanton breach]

you can't lose but also can't win

[lyric karma]

Thats counterproductive

[patent sail]

last boss crimson heart

chigoat saving me ❤️‍🩹

[calm furnace]

schrodinger's joker

[calm furnace]

nuh uh

[little mountain]

what should I do here? I was thinking of selling one of the ancient jokers to get the blueprint but I’m not sure if that’s the best option

[lyric karma]

Sell halucination

[calm furnace]

there is termprance when you open one of the packs

[lyric karma]

and if you still dont get enough money

Move on

[wanton breach]

thank you for the media

[lyric karma]

i forgot this

but

probably hes going to get the world or something

[little mountain]

no temperance (or any tarot) but I got a Jupiter card at least

[lyric karma]

[patent sail]

[zinc hawk]

My ChiGOAT run was so stressful, I polychrome’d a Shortcut so it was a straight run and I had so many close calls with my draws 😵‍💫

[spring granite]

I would think so

[broken swan]

Maybe I can sell the photograph?

[visual lance]

I need help with the most important decision ive ever come across
Nobody I know plays Balatro 😭

[hybrid tendon]

I would've said get rid of shortcut and use pairs but your paris aren't leveled 😭

[lyric karma]

youre definitively new

holy

[fickle mesa]

save ur money and go next

[lyric karma]

aight

[fickle mesa]

this is an easy win w the red cards and burger

[broken swan]

My score went from e17 to e24 !

[ancient gyro]

watch out there's a tropical storm warning near the north east of red card

[tawdry rock]

heres the logic:
you wanna sell a joker to get a joker that when sold disables the ability of a boss blind WHICH ALREADY DISABLES when a joker is sold

[lyric karma]

Maybe i should start fixing the deck tho

[visual lance]

tthats
thats fair
im sleep deprived
thANks yall

[tawdry rock]

its alr i wouldve also thought it was smart when i first started

goog luck

[patent sail]

!!!

[ancient gyro]

sleep deprived 💤
love their yt channel

[lyric karma]

Easy win they said

😭

[pure pike]

@visual lance

Ohh

Its alr explainf

[fickle mesa]

okay to be fair

[pure pike]

It is

[fickle mesa]

i didnt notice it was ante 5

why do you have 16 bucks at ante 5 😭

[pure pike]

I didn't note the 1 hand

[lyric karma]

booster packs

[pure pike]

They prob maximize red card

[lyric karma]

to feed the red card

[fickle mesa]

you save your money and then skip packs

[hollow grove]

Unless it's a spectral pack (if you're me)

100% of the spectral packs you skip have a soul in them

[fickle mesa]

early spectrals are very powerful so i do take those

usually looking for immolate but i guess soul isnt bad either

[patent sail]

satisfying

[hollow grove]

That's a sharp dagger

[wanton fjord]

flower pot value for once

[patent sail]

first recorded instance of flower pot doing something

[ancient gyro]

I have a few more records

allegedly

[knotty zodiac]

felt good to highroll for the first time in a few runs

[hollow grove]

Negative flowerpot gives temperance value

But yeah admittedly that is very niche

Flower should proc if you play high card wild but unfortunately it doesn't work that way

[patent sail]

did it give you 3 bucks after clicking "sell" button

[vestal copper]

whats the mod that shows the stats like that

[patent sail]

jokerdisplay

[vestal copper]

duh

[fickle mesa]

asks question

receives answer

"duh"

[patent sail]

human interaction has been initiated succesfully

its the little things in life 🎀

[fickle mesa]

i make jokes but im pretty sure this has happened with me before

plurality moment

[nimble depot]

Advice for plasma on green+ stake? I keep dying because I don't find any good jokers to pivot out of chips into mult scaling.

[vestal copper]

yeah

just the same as alright for me

[fickle mesa]

plasmas pretty rough

usually i actually stick with chips all the way to the end

[patent sail]

as someone who never played plasma deck, this is the way

[fickle mesa]

but its hard to do i dont blame you for struggling

doing mult is a bit suspect unless ur doing like chad + glass and steel because chips grow way faster than mult anyways

[ancient gyro]

maybe

[fickle mesa]

so u really need the mult to matter

[nimble depot]

Main trick is that chips are limited in scaling so I start to lose grip around ante 5

[patent sail]

its all the jimbo florist co. propaganda, dont believe it, they just want to sell you more flowers

[molten thicket]

when i play high stake plasma usually chips doesn't scale fast enough

[knotty zodiac]

see if you can squeeze in a bit more econ for more rerolls. that helped me climb

[molten thicket]

so pivoting is usually worth it

its pretty awkward though

[spring granite]

get shoot the moon, build for it and mime and try to pivot to Baron somewhere between Ante 6 and 9.

[patent sail]

oh boy im not excited for plasma deck

[ancient gyro]

pivoting is less successfully common at higher stakes

[patent sail]

even less excited than for black

[ancient gyro]

what

[fickle mesa]

just find this common, this uncommon, and this rare

easy

[knotty zodiac]

hm pure chips is better for ante8 you think?

[nimble depot]

Problem is I frequently get mid pulls from the shop in the first place. Hard to pivot when you don't have the tools to do so, much less speculating on individual jonklers

[spring granite]

the rare is for getting further, not beating it

[fickle mesa]

at this point i might as well just say "ankh a chad ante 1 and find a photograph"

[hollow grove]

Someone posted the exact chip requirements for plasma deck gold stake (normal and vv,- 5, 3, 1 hand) yesterday ish and I can't find it now 🙁

[fickle mesa]

you want someone to do plasma deck with shoot the moon?

[spring granite]

that's what works for me. Super consistent

[spring granite]

yes. It's amazing

[patent sail]

i mean just do square root of whatever the final requirement

[fickle mesa]

what stake do you play, (attack/speed honorific) gambler?

[ancient gyro]

outside of vv, its generally more consistent than hoping for a pivot to multiple x mult jokers as it's less smooth of a transition over just amplifying your chip sources. 1550 is usually your target goal for vv, around 900 otherwise for 4 hands

[spring granite]

I've gotten it on many of them

not going to happen every run obviously but I had it 4 times in a row at one point

[fickle mesa]

yes, multiple times consistently on gold stake?

or green stake even

since thats what this persons asking

[ancient gyro]

the 900 chips can be achieved from planets, chip jokers, retriggers, money to find and use these sources more often, etc

[fickle mesa]

or just bull

[scarlet scaffold]

damn

[terse vale]

when giving advice try to make it more general not trying to be rude

[spring granite]

I think once on gold, twice on black stake, and I don't remember what the last one was. I go for goofy stuff

[scarlet scaffold]

game bugged apperently and i cant continue my build

[patent sail]

what deck should i gold next (got ghost, yellow, abandoned, checkered and red)

[ancient gyro]

chip value requirements for plasma
(violet vessel requirements in parentheses)
1 hand: 1789 (3099)
3 hands: 1033 (1789)
4 hands: 895 (1550)

[terse vale]

painted !!!

[fickle mesa]

blue

[vestal copper]

🔵

[hollow grove]

Thx

[terse vale]

well blue is the consensus

[spring granite]

I give advice that I've had work. That's just my kind of advice.

[terse vale]

do blue !

[patent sail]

blue it is

[fickle mesa]

blue deck i think im most consistent on

[terse vale]

well getting specific jokers is kinda hard cus what if you don’t get them!

[ancient gyro]

blue just in general

[spring granite]

you try try again

[patent sail]

how funny is erotic deck, asking whoever golded that

[novel walrus]

My job on this server is to post this one image to get all the gay people go fight to be first

[hollow grove]

Be careful, whatever deck you do next will (probably) feel harder after blue

[fickle mesa]

when i give advice i give general strategies that account for differing amounts of luck and different joker setups

[terse vale]

ya

[fickle mesa]

and things that i see repeated consistent results with

[patent sail]

man why didnt this type of images die in 2018

[fickle mesa]

not just "i got it 4 times"

[terse vale]

its more fun with varying strategies
don’t look at my most played hand

[spring granite]

I tried to convert chips for plasma hundreds of times and got stopped by rng much more often than going for shoot the moon and mime. It's just easier.

[terse vale]

no its not flush

[novel walrus]

To get gay people to type faster

[patent sail]

why so, so far the easiest was checkered

[spring granite]

I got it 4 times in a row once. Not just 4 times.

[fickle mesa]

one extra hand goes hard

[spring granite]

that's my point for consistency

[fickle mesa]

i think blue deck and yellow deck im roughly tied for

[terse vale]

well chips on plasma arent reccomended long term for gold stake

[patent sail]

as a discardmaxxer i liked red more 🗣🗣

[ancient gyro]

my point of consistency is win streaks/win rate

[terse vale]

there has 2 be a mult pivot most of the time
but I haven’t played plasma often

[fickle mesa]

chips are reccomended by balatro university

[spring granite]

that was just trying to beat ante 8, not long term

[ancient gyro]

they are

[fickle mesa]

an extra hand is basically an extra discard that scores points

[terse vale]

I didn’t know I thought chips couldn’t keep up

unless you got wee or maybe bull

[fickle mesa]

wee or bull do make it easier

but theres quite a few ways to get chips

[patent sail]

well i guess ill see how blue does

[fickle mesa]

retrigger jokers planets chip jokers etc

[ancient gyro]

the initial chip snowball advantage makes up for the exponential point scaling and x2 requirements

[patent sail]

buy pringles and feed jimbo

[fickle mesa]

yeah chips are like

[patent sail]

tasty

[fickle mesa]

~6x as good as mult on average

so you need at least x6 to make mult worth it

and its hard to make that kind of pivot that fast

[spring granite]

hell shoot the moon to baron pipeline is how I beat most of my high stake games. Relying on random jokers and builds is fun, but not consistent.

[hot helm]

bro I got 7 neg jokers

[ancient gyro]

square joker doing twice as much scaling as bus and ramen per hand

[fickle mesa]

"random jokers" buddy thats HOW THE GAME WORKS

[spring granite]

yeah yeah yeah

[fickle mesa]

the jokers you get are RANDOM

[spring granite]

that's why I'm lucky

[fickle mesa]

"im gonna get shoot the moon next shop-"

[terse vale]

hmmmm 💭 mk

[fickle mesa]

how the fuck do you beat the plant

with this unbeatable strategy of yours

[spring granite]

it just happens

[fickle mesa]

dude

[ancient gyro]

so whats your highest win streak rn, I need some edge to start plasma++

[fickle mesa]

you are the most frustrating kind of person

[spring granite]

I'm trolling partially just for the joke. I understand your point

[wintry ice]

most fruitful balatro discord argument

[spring granite]

I haven't played recently. Just came back for some whimsy

[terse vale]

mmmmmmmmhhhh

[fickle mesa]

rose homestuck

[spring granite]

I think I was on 0 when I stopped

[fickle mesa]

did you all know i got my name from rose from homestuck

[ancient gyro]

that wasn't an answer

[ancient gyro]

no

[fickle mesa]

they have an answer! its zero <3

[ancient gyro]

sorry my shit is loading on fax

machine

[terse vale]

I actually did not know I don’t think i’ve read that far

[wintry ice]

well that offsets the 3 hand win

[spring granite]

one sec

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

[fickle mesa]

how the fuck can you not know abt rose lalonde

[spring granite]

nevermind it was 1

[fickle mesa]

shes the third character introduced

[wintry ice]

hm

i feel like it's too early

[ancient gyro]

ugh this isn't motivating enough

[molten thicket]

back to playing high stakes

hey do i take this runner

[ancient gyro]

um no

[wintry ice]

you could sell faceless for it

[fickle mesa]

yea thats really expensive for this point in the run

[ancient gyro]

I think I'm just gonna play terraria until sts2 comes out

[terse vale]

no I mean the shadowspussy thing

[molten thicket]

sts2's coming out??

[molten thicket]

hm okay

[knotty zodiac]

EA Mar 6

[ancient gyro]

there was a trailer a couple days ago

[fickle mesa]

oh no my irl names not shadowspussy lol

[ancient gyro]

march

[terse vale]

I kno all about rose and the poser she kinda is

[fickle mesa]

its rose (case sensitive)

[terse vale]

ohhhh 😭

[ancient gyro]

early access though, mobile will most likely take several months after

[fickle mesa]

i cant lie i barely remember anything abt her

[wintry ice]

sure that works

[knotty zodiac]

im trying to finish c+/c++ before the launch xD

[molten thicket]

hm

might be time to come back to sts

[fickle mesa]

she mustve hit me hard 5 years ago

[wintry ice]

ggs

[terse vale]

good until like ante 4 big blind

I think

[wintry ice]

well i could go bus instead

[ancient gyro]

good time too

[fickle mesa]

"here, win" type shit

[terse vale]

good until ante 9 small blind

[wintry ice]

blue joker would have been huge if it wasn't rental

[spring granite]

I gamble on everything what did you expect

if I was a pro I'd have high card or pair most played hand 💀

[ancient gyro]

this is stupid

[fickle mesa]

high card is good!

i use hc probably abt a fifth as frequently as i do pairs

[ancient gyro]

mb i forget about the unbecoming of 2024

[wintry ice]

hm

i just got a gold and purple seal from the pack i opened

[terse vale]

shes kinda gothic and she uses big words to sound smarter but in reality she’s a big fat nerd who thinks she’s got it all under control with an unstable home life

ITHINK

[wintry ice]

idk if that's enough to offset the rental

[ancient gyro]

uh no

[terse vale]

THATS just what I can remembr

[fickle mesa]

that seems abt right

[ancient gyro]

juggling three things to make all of them work sounds like hell

[fickle mesa]

girl you got this in the bag lets not get cheeky

[wintry ice]

well pair is an easy route

[spring granite]

not recent but the last card stats I shared here

[wintry ice]

better not fumble the easiest 3 streak ever

[spring granite]

shoot the moon is just goated

[ancient gyro]

what being booted does to a mf

[wintry ice]

guys look

[fickle mesa]

you gotta lock in winning balatro games is how you make it through in this world

[terse vale]

this summary makes me more literate than 40% of people who read homestuck so thats cool I guess

[ancient gyro]

you lack heart

[fickle mesa]

wwwwwuh woh!!! yourb gonnnnnna reset the train!

[wintry ice]

that's nice to have

[ancient gyro]

nice

[spring granite]

I just get lucky. Plus I think my rares are boosted from the high score runs

not as much variety

[ancient gyro]

u should do black++

loads of fun and gambling

[lyric karma]

Which one should i grab

[spring granite]

I don't even know what that means

[terse vale]

shortcut ig

[wintry ice]

shortcut is very safe

[lyric karma]

i lowkey dont want to play straights

but ok

[fickle mesa]

probably shortcut

[spring granite]

I've forgotten most of the terminology

[ancient gyro]

shorty

[fickle mesa]

you wont use shortcut long term

[hollow grove]

As in c++ but getting all stickers with black?

[fickle mesa]

you can switch to pairs pretty easily

[terse vale]

well you’re gunna you dont have to build into it

[ancient gyro]

pretty much

[lyric karma]

Should use the hex on it?

[wintry ice]

well it literally nullifies the reason why you hate it

[terse vale]

just early game consistency

[terse vale]

no !

its perishable

[lyric karma]

Ok

[ancient gyro]

basically c++ with stickers earned only on black deck

[spring granite]

so just c++ but easier

[ancient gyro]

it gets fun

yeah do it

[terse vale]

once you find a better joker you can sell shortcut and hex it

[spring granite]

mainly because I hate rentals

how dare you take the money I rightfully made from my lucky cards

[ancient gyro]

im not sure if you understand

you're still playing gs

[hollow grove]

Black deck, not black stake

[wintry ice]

?

[spring granite]

oh

I misread that

[wintry ice]

can i live double rental

i want to take wasteful so

[ancient gyro]

do you have any gold cards

[wintry ice]

1 gold seal

[ancient gyro]

good enough

[spring granite]

black deck isn't horrible, but it's not fun.

[terse vale]

I think

[fickle mesa]

i mean this build should last u long enough to let the rocket beat out the rental fee

[terse vale]

you’ll just be stuck at like 18 - 25 dollars for a while ig

[spring granite]

I dislike painted and faceless more tbh

[wintry ice]

black deck is widely considered the worst deck in the game

[ancient gyro]

im used to making these decisions on black deck

[fickle mesa]

i dont consider it that

i consider plasma the worst deck

[wintry ice]

plasma is just frustrating

[terse vale]

I dont like plasma flips the game on its head

[fickle mesa]

i mean i die earlier on black deck and all but usually once im outta the early game im fine

[ancient gyro]

so with that logic I think 2 rentals is good enough, with 2 consumables to offset rental eating up interest in case

[tender lotus]

yo what does showman do im confused?

[fickle mesa]

black just more frequently punishes you for making good decisions

[terse vale]

painted or green kinda does the “you’re playing a different game now bro” thing better

[ancient gyro]

plasma at least I can manage win streaks more consistently

[wintry ice]

that's just how it is for most decks

just with a worse early

[lyric karma]

this game wants me to play straights so bad

[tender lotus]

yo what does showman do im confused?

[lyric karma]

fine

[fickle mesa]

so normally if you hold a tarot or joker card it wont show up in the shop

[ancient gyro]

the learning curve on plasma is a lot higher than other decks so it took me a while to get to 5 wins

[tender lotus]

oh so now i can get dupes?

[fickle mesa]

this is useful for blocking undesired cards from appearing twice

[terse vale]

yes

dupes of everything

[fickle mesa]

yeah, but dupes are not that good

[terse vale]

packs can have multiple of the same card !

[hollow grove]

Lets things appear twice

Jokers you own can appear in the shop

Tarot cards in your consumable area can appear in packs

Planet packs might be all Neptune

Etc

Often used on endless runs

[fickle mesa]

showman is sort of a nerf

[molten thicket]

well that wasn't that bad

plasma orange ggs

[spring granite]

W flush

[wintry ice]

do i sell foil jimbo for judgement

i don't have any other chip source

so

[jolly relic]

sell bus

[wintry ice]

i'm reluctant on it

[tender lotus]

why are we lying i think it could be crazy

[spring granite]

that's a pretty bad gamble

[wintry ice]

yea

[fickle mesa]

do you know the "potential man" meme?

[wintry ice]

i'll just carry it to filter it

[ancient gyro]

i rather hold

[fickle mesa]

showman is sort of a potential joker

[tender lotus]

oh right

[molten thicket]

do you know what tarot blocking is

[fickle mesa]

sure, it could get you two cavendishes

[wintry ice]

well that's why it's not that good

[tender lotus]

no im very new

[wintry ice]

it could be

[ancient gyro]

showman requires a huge money sink to get your average expected result

[wintry ice]

but it usually isn't

[jolly relic]

will*

[spring granite]

showman has saved multiple gold stake runs of mine, he will forever hold a special place in my heart

[fickle mesa]

but more often than not it makes maximizing your value harder and youve cleared ante 8 and got nothing to show for it

[hollow grove]

Keeping a bad tarot card in your consumable area so you won't see it in booster packs

[terse vale]

imagine this but with showman

[molten thicket]

in shop in general

[wintry ice]

if it saved a run then it didn't need saving

[tender lotus]

ah okay also one question? why does sock and buskin not work with scary face? wait i mixed up the names of the cards

[hollow grove]

Yes that too

[molten thicket]

it should though

[ancient gyro]

it does?

[jolly relic]

the idol one would be true if deckfixing didnt exist

[tender lotus]

no iwas thinking about tha paridal instead of sock and buskin

[wintry ice]

erm

[molten thicket]

but that should still work though

[fickle mesa]

yes pareidolia works w scary face

[bitter schooner]

Chat. Shall we 🗿 run the jokers

[terse vale]

look at the image again

specifically the section next to the last joker stickered award one

[tender lotus]

yeah im thinking of a devious combo rn

[jolly relic]

ludicrous deckfixing?

[wintry ice]

going under interest was worth it

[ancient gyro]

face cards work in tandem with each other, face card ranks have exclusive requirements

[terse vale]

yes ludicrous deckfixing

[spring granite]

when I'm just playing to see what can happen and have fun then yeah it did. I'm not going to quit when I have no money and the cards are down. That's not the way.

[jolly relic]

false

[terse vale]

for a chance to hit

[ancient gyro]

oh boy chips

[terse vale]

how :?

[tribal portal]

Bloodstone run or idol run?

[molten thicket]

if idol misses just ONCE you're fucked

[jolly relic]

not ludicrous

[terse vale]

hold R

KIDDING

keep bloodstone

[wintry ice]

well how is it not ludicrous?

[molten thicket]

throw idol i think

[terse vale]

give me an example of an idol fixed deck

[spring granite]

speculative oops

[tribal portal]

Mmm

[spring granite]

very speculative

[jolly relic]

for that to be true you would have to be like super early fun and have only idol and no other way of scoring OR be super late and be terrible at deckfixing

[tribal portal]

Alr so blood run

[tribal portal]

5/5 jokers

[molten thicket]

for idol you need every single card to be the same

[terse vale]

idol is usually important scoring

[wintry ice]

if your secondary source of scoring is able to cover for idol is idol really doing anything

[terse vale]

like your main scoring

[molten thicket]

that's pretty ludicrous i think

[molten thicket]

if idol isn't your main scoring then just sell idol

[spring granite]

I love you anecdotal evidence 😍

[molten thicket]

well you should sell idol anyways but still

[wintry ice]

and how early is "super early"

[ancient gyro]

ive yet to see a completely fixed idol deck on a8 gs

[jolly relic]

if its your main scoring then you would probably like to have your deck fixed !

[ancient gyro]

unless that seed kami gave me had potential

[wintry ice]

then why take it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[tribal portal]

This is My deck

[molten thicket]

plus are you gonna dig for that one singular card early on

[rich mauve]

RESERVED GOAT

[jolly relic]

cause its good scoring if you dont cry in discord about it requiring 'ludicrous' deckfixing to function

[molten thicket]

idol is a joker you only take when it's completely online

[tribal portal]

I could make a full red king for idol

[molten thicket]

good scoring which turns into 0 scoring if you get unlucky?

wow

[tribal portal]

Or buy instead the dice for bloodstone

[spring granite]

Parking tickets get automatically paid off 🙏

[wintry ice]

if the deckfixing is not ludicrous, then how do you get it online before you win?

[hollow grove]

Watch out for The Plant

Or did you get past it already

[molten thicket]

you sure are funny

[tribal portal]

I past it alr

[wintry ice]

on a stake above like, black

[wicked rover]

cartomancer and fortune teller is really good together

[hollow grove]

Nice

[wintry ice]

gonna take this to have more time for blue seal scaling

[jolly relic]

luck wouldnt be a factor if you were better 😛

[spring granite]

buddy

[tribal portal]

Imagine double idol

[spring granite]

luck is ALWAYS a factor

the best factor

[ancient gyro]

im a visual learner

[jolly relic]

for scoring

[molten thicket]

what's the point of talking civilly if you don't listen to anything

[wintry ice]

are they talking civily?

[hollow grove]

Do they point to same cards or different? I've never had 2

[molten thicket]

please show an example of idol working early then dear person

[ancient gyro]

only tdl duplicates get off sync
