why didnt you take misprint

[rancid gull]

you're not using the tech

how can i enjoy this screenshot without the misprint tech

[wintry ice]

uh idk i'm greedy

[granite heron]

the what

[rancid gull]

the misprint tech

the top balatro players use it

[lunar zealot]

misprint tech is tedious as hell

[granite heron]

that is not a helpful description

[lunar zealot]

you don't need it unless you're streaking really

[stone shell]

looks inside

[granite heron]

i want to know what it is though?

[lunar zealot]

Misprint lets you see the next card you're gonna draw

[cloud sinew]

you can see the next card to be drawn if you hover over misprint

[shell dagger]

Misprint flashes seemingly random strings of symbols sometimes but it is actually telling you the next card that will be drawn

[severe heart]

mystprint. bring be a red seal

[granite heron]

oh i remember hearing about this actually

oh that is

[wintry ice]

i maybe should have taken misprint because i have yet to find a +mult joker now

[cloud sinew]

yes

you should have

😎

[granite heron]

thats so stupid wow

[cloud sinew]

i LOVE being right

[shell dagger]

Early mult + chips scaler is basically the same earlygame as a mult scaler

And both r good

[cloud sinew]

it has been in the game since at least 2022

[wintry ice]

oh hey an eternal rental steven

[cloud sinew]

and it was only noticed within the past year

[rancid gull]

yeah and now the top players are using it

[cloud sinew]

first time it was noticed was like late 2024 i think

[wintry ice]

this is a setup ever

[wary zodiac]

credit card in the- wait a minute

[severe heart]

i think it's funny that it exists but it should probably be limited to atleast only when you're holding it

[cloud sinew]

i agree

[shell dagger]

Surely longer than that

[cloud sinew]

what

what is longer

[granite heron]

how else can you

Oh my fucking god you can just open the collection and look at it?

[shell dagger]

Noticed within

September 24

[cloud sinew]

btw i dont repeat myself for dramatic effect, i just say "what" then realise i should probably say what im actually asking

[stone shell]

wow hanged man time to thin the deck more

[severe heart]

yeah

[wary zodiac]

@finite heron im gonna strangle you

[shell dagger]

My wifi cut out, i sent that message immediately after this

[rancid gull]

holy luck

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wary zodiac]

you're going into the hammer killing machine

[wintry ice]

this is dogwater

[finite heron]

What did blood stone do

[wary zodiac]

be bad

[serene forge]

suck

[wintry ice]

oh hey

[finite heron]

Cro what is this

[hybrid tendon]

be trash

[granite heron]

that is simultaneously incredibly broken and also super fucking useless because of how little benefit can be gained by knowing just the top card of your deck

[wintry ice]

the result of passing on early +mult

[finite heron]

Blood stone CANNOT BE THAT BAD

[rancid gull]

Bloodstone is goated

[cloud sinew]

damn this deleted account found out in late 2023
#🎙・server-chat message

[granite heron]

i understand why people would use it to optimize a streak though

[hybrid tendon]

it is

[cloud sinew]

people noticed before but

[finite heron]

Untill it does nothing

[finite heron]

How so

[cloud sinew]

thats the earliest direct mention of it i could find

[granite heron]

Wait what happens to misprint when your deck is empty

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone is like D tier

[cloud sinew]

11D

[hybrid tendon]

hold on I'm on pjsekai

[cloud sinew]

jack of diamonds

[granite heron]

weird

[cloud sinew]

it's a hard coded default

for some reason

[wintry ice]

chance based xmult that doesn't work with a lot of the game's most consistent jokers

[wintry ice]

wtf

[finite heron]

Just like have 2 whole blood stones

[dusty void]

Okay lesson learned

Non scoring hands do NOT count towards loyalty card

[rancid gull]

bloodstone c tier

[cloud sinew]

its still not consistent

[finite heron]

Fair enough

Case closed

[wintry ice]

uh yeah the whole issue is that it relies on an unrealistic scenario

[wary zodiac]

heart attack joker

[dusty void]

Bloodstone is the only card where you can lose 5 50/50s in a row

[severe heart]

more like bludstone haha ha ha ha just shoot me i don't particularly care

[drowsy rain]

Bloodstone is the only card

[finite heron]

Aside from that one parking joker that I missed 8 50 50s

[hybrid tendon]

what ?

[granite heron]

bloodstone has helped me win a run exactly once and the entire time i had it on me (three rounds) i was desperate to switch to a better enabler

[wary zodiac]

don't look at the numbers, its the second worst odds in the game

first is obviously wheel

[finite heron]

Yo

[drowsy rain]

Bold of you to assume 8 ball actually gives tarots

[wintry ice]

the game

[finite heron]

Scrap that

[hybrid tendon]

it's nothing but a potential joker

[finite heron]

Seven sould

LOL

[hybrid tendon]

you lost

[finite heron]

SEVEN SOULS 1 DAY

[wintry ice]

wth

[wary zodiac]

killing you with hammers isn't enough

[finite heron]

IT'S A PERK

Lowkey I should just gamble at this point????

[wary zodiac]

i would tell you to not throw, but you're getting another one next game anyways

[finite heron]

I'm throeing

[subtle drum]

wtf

[rancid gull]

naninf

[wary zodiac]

go find an oops first

[rancid gull]

perkeo nanif

[subtle drum]

that’s crazy

[finite heron]

Cro I'm the worst player alive

But I'm very lucky

[wary zodiac]

lowkey me and kirb are racing for naneinf

this mf gets like four perkeos today

[finite heron]

BTW these games aren't even 30 games appart

[wary zodiac]

i don't get SHIT

💔

[finite heron]

7 souls in 30 games

[spring granite]

double burnt joker wins

[finite heron]

Absolutely dog

[wary zodiac]

true

burnt naneinf

[finite heron]

I'm burning your jokers

So far

[subtle drum]

i’ll burn you

[wary zodiac]

when's the fight? i'll ref

[finite heron]

2 canios 2 tribs 3 perk

[stone shell]

lmao

[finite heron]

I swear what's with balatro

[subtle drum]

beautiful

[wintry ice]

well that's scaling mult i guess

[subtle drum]

surely a fortune teller

[wintry ice]

uh

this is going to be the single worst obelisk run ever

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone!?

[subtle drum]

i will NEVER understand obelisk fans

[wary zodiac]

0 bitches

[cloud sinew]

yes you will

[shell dagger]

Burnt + obe isnt my idea of fun

[wintry ice]

i mistyped like an idiot

[cloud sinew]

you will get good one day

[finite heron]

:(

[subtle drum]

no i won’t

[cloud sinew]

oh i guess you wont

[subtle drum]

not helpful

[finite heron]

It's fine being alone is fine

(Not)

[wintry ice]

i'm probably gonna sell chad or rebate

[stone shell]

i lost because double cartomancer wasnt the play by invis 🥀

[cloud sinew]

for starters, you have to actually try to understand something if you want to understand something

[wintry ice]

leaning towards rebate because chad is foil

[subtle drum]

yeah no shit

i’ve done that

[wintry ice]

citation needed

[finite heron]

I'll update if I get another soup

Soul

[wintry ice]

soup

[cloud sinew]

this you? /rhetorical

[wary zodiac]

don't ever talk to me or my son ever again

[cloud sinew]

obelisk doesnt reset all the time. you build up one hand and then play anything but that hand

[wintry ice]

this is stupid

[cloud sinew]

you shouldnt be resetting obelisk pretty much ever.

[wary zodiac]

okay maybe a few bitches

[cloud sinew]

getting your most played hand up to 12-15 is more than enough for most runs

[wary zodiac]

in the buffoon pack

[cloud sinew]

just dont go for high card as your most played

[finite heron]

So is that like brainstorm

[subtle drum]

y’all be quick to hit a mf who doesn’t understand w obelisk with “skill issue” 🤡

[balmy ocean]

After an embarrassing amount of time, I have finally gold staked black deck

[cloud sinew]

i gave you a very coherent explanation

and youre strawmanning me

[wintry ice]

21 pairs

[subtle drum]

sigh

[wintry ice]

this will be dumb

[subtle drum]

i’m not gonna bother with this again

[stone shell]

to be fair black deck is hell

[cloud sinew]

what did i just say twin

[rotund igloo]

Seeing this I need to change my name here

[cloud sinew]

"for starters, you have to actually try to understand something if you want to understand something"

[shell dagger]

No offence but a lot of skill in this game does come from understanding

[cloud sinew]

gives up immediately

[balmy ocean]

Yeh…so what deck should I play next?

[finite heron]

Life is so goated

[rotund igloo]

There we go

[cloud sinew]

you cant say youre trying to understand something when you just gave up immediately when someone is trying to help you understand

[subtle drum]

my mistake i forgot i should never say my opinion in balatro server

[wintry ice]

this was going to be an even dumber obelisk run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstonee

[wary zodiac]

death

[balmy ocean]

Worst mistake ever

[wintry ice]

another strawman

[subtle drum]

literally

[cloud sinew]

it's not that you said your opinion, it's that youre being insincere and blatantly dishonest

[serene forge]

they use bloodstone cut them some slack

[finite heron]

If I stand to the right of you you should turn into me

[vocal rose]

victimizing yourself lesson #904835098435

[hybrid tendon]

they use strawman even more it seems

[serene forge]

what were they even saying i have them blocked ngl

[subtle drum]

😂

[gentle island]

No bean :<

[hybrid tendon]

claiming lilo was trying to dunk on them when she was actually trying to explain how to use obelisk

and then victimized themselve even more

[cloud sinew]

tldr; complained about not understanding obelisk fans, i said you need to try to understand if you want to understand, then i gave a coherent explanation and then they said "im not gonna bother with this again"

[wary zodiac]

since no one has asked you yet as far as i can see, what specifically is your issue with obelisk?

[scarlet oyster]

how many cryptids do i need for a naneinf?

[serene forge]

Strawman
$8
Rare
Reduces the opponent's argumentative capability. 80% chance of backfiring and making you look like a complete idiot.

[wary zodiac]

at least two

[cloud sinew]

depends on how many copiers you have

[wary zodiac]

depends on your bp brainstorms

yeah

[serene forge]

i see

[scarlet oyster]

3

[cloud sinew]

and then one mime one baron?

[scarlet oyster]

yup

[shell dagger]

Depends on your base hand size

[scarlet oyster]

all red seals and base hand size

[wary zodiac]

lowkey pull up a balatro hand calculator

[cloud sinew]

are you on plasma, what's your base handsize, are they red seal? are they steel?

[stone shell]

im too deep into this

[scarlet oyster]

plasma and yes steel and red

[serene forge]

nah this can't be right, balatro doesn't use percentages for its probabilities

silly me

[scarlet oyster]

base handsize

[cloud sinew]

okay lemme do the math

[shell dagger]

About 22

[hybrid tendon]

4 in 5

[serene forge]

worth it

[shell dagger]

23 maybe

[scarlet oyster]

level 11 highcard if it matters

[serene forge]

true

[rotund igloo]

Take it you don't know when you are gonna see glass joker again

[balmy ocean]

Yall what deck should I play

[serene forge]

abandoned

[ancient gyro]

two whole pair jokers
doesn't play pair

[rotund igloo]

Zodiac

[ancient gyro]

black

[cloud sinew]

it's ~6 e's per card, so you need 52 cards in hand

[hybrid tendon]

yellow

[balmy ocean]

But I jus- oh well

[scarlet oyster]

alright thanks

[ancient gyro]

o

[serene forge]

andy did you see my tierlist

[wary zodiac]

what if glass joker was like, x4096 mult but a 1/2 chance of breaking

im so good at joker design

[balmy ocean]

I heard abandon so…how bad could it possibly be?

[cloud sinew]

abandoned is very good

[rotund igloo]

abandoned is great

[wintry ice]

oh

[wary zodiac]

abadoned is amazing

[wintry ice]

do i just sell rebate

summit is still doing some work

[cloud sinew]

i think glass should be x3 1/2
-# this isnt my sincere opinion, but im not completely against it. i just want to hear arguments either way

[wary zodiac]

chicot (positive)

[rotund igloo]

What deck should i play

[wintry ice]

i'm gonna go for the safe play

[cloud sinew]

nebula

[wintry ice]

canio

that's pretty good

[rotund igloo]

Okay

Double investment tag right away

[wary zodiac]

this'd be cool, but it makes it so risky to play that it just becomes deckfixing instead of an actual scoring card

[cloud sinew]

it becomes more of an emergency score source than it is now

rn you can use glass pretty consistently if you have okay econ

[wary zodiac]

was about to add this yeah

[cloud sinew]

1/4 means you can score 4 glass on average before having to replace one

[wary zodiac]

it makes it significantly worse for endless in exchange for being great on ante 8 as a bailout

[wary zodiac]

i mean

[cloud sinew]

also would buff glass joker a lot, probably nerf it to 0.5x along with this

[wary zodiac]

you can still make it work in endless, and idol high scores go up significantly

[shell dagger]

It wouldn’t affect endless too much

[stone shell]

infinite debt lets GOOO

[wary zodiac]

but you die so quickly

[shell dagger]

Honestly maybe even a buff

[ancient gyro]

you made a tier list

[cloud sinew]

but i think it could be good

[wary zodiac]

specifically for idol builds it kills you twice as fast

[cloud sinew]

as it means glass matters more for deck fixing and for emergency scoring

[shell dagger]

No it doesnt

You only use glass cards for like 2 antes

[dawn sedge]

do it

!!!

[shell dagger]

Bc the benefit of glass doesnt tip you over the scoring requirements for 2 antes in the future

[wary zodiac]

i should specify, for high score high ante idol runs

[stone shell]

a lucky card procced and i got to 0$

[shell dagger]

That’s what im talking about

6 copy joker sock idol

[bold crystal]

chaos or eternal misprint hmm

[shell dagger]

Dies a24 or so without glass, ante 26 or so with glass

[wary zodiac]

okay i see what you mean now

[rotund igloo]

The Buffoon pack

[wintry ice]

and that's a win

[spring granite]

blasphemy

[wary zodiac]

you make it to ante 8, unstoppable, boss is violet vessel, your misprint gives you +1 mult and you lose by 50 chips

[dawn sedge]

tuff tuff

[serene forge]

i just threw this together in like a minute and didn't think much of it i just wanted to be funny

[wintry ice]

genuinely how did i get past the earlygame after that blunder

[wary zodiac]

im gonna do some ante 8 runs, im bored of naneinf attempts

[ancient gyro]

oh ok I can just ignore it

[terse vale]

0.45 cus just I like how glass joker has a weird scaling number

[stone shell]

yooo we cant afford SHIT

[serene forge]

shut the fuck up idiot

[terse vale]

I want it to keeep the weird scaling number !

[cloud sinew]

make it 0.6x then

[terse vale]

yayyy !

[wary zodiac]

wraith in spectral

[cloud sinew]

i now sincerely think glass should be 3x 1/2

[shell dagger]

Bull is not a pair joker

[cloud sinew]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[stone shell]

so true

[cloud sinew]

the tiers seem so arbitrary

[echo tartan]

chicot disables vv, at least should be in not a pair joker tier instead of irrelevant

[ancient gyro]

rule 1

[cloud sinew]

because some things that are unconditional and not pairs are in pair, and not pair, and maybe pair

like how is flash card a pair joker

[ancient gyro]

huh did I miss something

this would just be a buff

[cloud sinew]

yes

well it wouldnt just be a buff

[wary zodiac]

credit card in anaglyph deck

[cloud sinew]

glass breaking more often is a downside for the scenario where you otherwise would rely on glass for consistent scoring

doubling your chance of it breaking means you need to replace glass twice as often on average

[wary zodiac]

.,,,i think i agree with you now

[ancient gyro]

ballot has to be nerfed so you don't just receive a random x27 base mult

[wintry ice]

this run is silly

[ancient gyro]

tweaked*

[wintry ice]

i like it

[cloud sinew]

i want chad to be nerfed anyway

[wintry ice]

hehehehehahhahaeehaehaheaehaah

[cloud sinew]

it works way to well with every on-score effect

[serene forge]

rule 10

[scarlet oyster]

lets gooo

[serene forge]

oh true

[wanton breach]

hey, be nice to the Japan man

[finite heron]

Rate my spectral stats

[wary zodiac]

hell yeah

[cloud sinew]

vv, eye, needle

[wary zodiac]

ghost deck main spotted

[finite heron]

I think it was at 21 yesterday

[stone shell]

:cooked:

[finite heron]

I played like 4 games with it

[serene forge]

nah bruh i fell for ragebait that i knew was ragebait

[wary zodiac]

why the fuck are you using so many hexes then

[cloud sinew]

thats what being autistic is like twin

[hybrid tendon]

japan man made a house in terraria and called it the goon shack

[finite heron]

Because I need hex

[cloud sinew]

it upsets me even though i know its made to upset me

[wary zodiac]

@serene forge it also nerfs oops bloodstone

[wintry ice]

made?

[serene forge]

hex too high, wraith too high, ankh too high, trance too low, ecto too high, immolate too low,

[finite heron]

True

[hybrid tendon]

urgh fine, inhabited a generated house

[wary zodiac]

im gonna hex you with hammers

[wanton breach]

tell him to go eat sushi and ramen and watch anime with obaasan (obama san)

[shell dagger]

Vagabond is NOT a pair joekr

[wintry ice]

hex is kinda bound to be high due to ghost deck

[serene forge]

i do all of those things and im not japanese

[wanton breach]

very agreeing with this

[unborn cliff]

get immolate higher

[wintry ice]

joker that gives you insane deckfixing to unlock hard to draw hands

[ancient gyro]

I don't think I've made a single thing in your server before it got ghosted by vic

[wintry ice]

looks inside

pair joker

[finite heron]

I don't have enough hatred for cards

[unborn cliff]

20 dollars

[wanton breach]

didn't you made electricity into footsteps?

[gusty hollow]

Das a good pay out

[finite heron]

20 dollars is 20 dollars

[wary zodiac]

you're telling me you look at 6's without contempt?

[finite heron]

My guy what are you doing

[wary zodiac]

i think you defeated the boss blind

[finite heron]

Greed beyond words

[glossy mortar]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!

[ancient gyro]

yk that punch monkey lives in a zoo very close to where I traveled last october

[glossy mortar]

With an accidental flush house too lol.

[wary zodiac]

hell yeah ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

[ancient gyro]

oh god

there's my cue to leave

[terse dock]

Mrrp~

[glossy mortar]

My first ever gold stake. Finally done.

[ancient gyro]

only 50ish more to go

[hybrid tendon]

I was talking about vic's

[glossy mortar]

50? Isn’t there like only 10 decks?

[stone shell]

i dont like the idea because i feel like its more of a nerf to glass' intended purpose and just makes it more of a deckfixxing tool

[wary zodiac]

showman

[ancient gyro]

for c++

[wanton breach]

that kick streamer that arrested in korea?

[serene forge]

me when i lie

[ancient gyro]

that's not what I said

[stone shell]

like honestly if i saw this in a run i probably wouldnt use it unless im deckfixxing

[cyan nimbus]

i was just woindering if there any any plans for like cross platform saving or something maybe please

[finite heron]

Are you copying to the moon

[pale wolf]

beep

[wanton breach]

what punch monkey

[stone shell]

is it fixxing or fixing

[wary zodiac]

yes, why wouldn't i want 13 whole mult

[hybrid tendon]

non breath oblige moment

[unborn cliff]

wrong joker

[pale wolf]

fixing

[glossy mortar]

You think I’m going to c++ xD bruh i can’t even beat black deck blue stake. That is literally harder than most gold stake runs.

[stone shell]

i think its the latter and im just dunb

[wary zodiac]

left joker

[finite heron]

I disagree

[cloud sinew]

fixing

[wintry ice]

wtf is this run

[unborn cliff]

winning

[wary zodiac]

peak

[wanton breach]

here, win

[bold crystal]

do i pivot (pants and bus are both at 24)

[cloud sinew]

black deck is miserable

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

i think so, yes.

[stone shell]

yeah looking back i mightve needed to skip that garbage tag i didnt look at

[cloud sinew]

i would drop trousers for it

[stone shell]

i think 100 dollars couldve done something but idk

[wanton breach]

crash the bus

[glossy mortar]

Yeah. I’m so hyped to finally have my first gold stake down though. Honestly it’s brutal to get one.

[cloud sinew]

bus is poly, todd is chips, rough gem is econ

[unborn cliff]

is there a reason you're keeping egg

[cloud sinew]

money

no reason to sell it so far

[bold crystal]

egg is $50 each temperance

[ancient gyro]

I wouldn't pick up swash for it

atm

[cloud sinew]

swash is +45 twin

[stone shell]

nah imo, pants + bus scales faster than swash if you can play 2 hands

[ancient gyro]

ik

[unborn cliff]

swash kind of locks us into the egg forever

[hybrid tendon]

gooner allegations coming your way

[wanton breach]

i don't even play terraria

[stone shell]

me picking up eternal egg for the speculative temperance clutch

[unborn cliff]

[hybrid tendon]

this is so far off from what I said

[ancient gyro]

castle blessing

[glossy mortar]

I wonder what deck will be the second I gold stake.

[ancient gyro]

blue maybe

[cloud sinew]

blue or yellow if you give those a go, theyre the easiest

[glossy mortar]

The way I’ve been playing is every day I randomly pick a deck and try for whatever the next stake is i have on it.

[stone shell]

deck gambling

[upper spade]

It's working.
Surprisingly.

[wintry ice]

this run was stupid

[stone shell]

man i wish there was an option to just have the game randomize what deck i play

[glossy mortar]

I came very very close to yellow. That was the deck i got 2 ante 8 deaths on. Yellow yas a huge problem of not being able to make it over the finish line. Blue i haven’t tried gold stake yet on but have unlocked it.

[wintry ice]

obelisk saved it and then canio just pushed the advantage extremely far

but wtf were my decisions in the earlygame

[unborn cliff]

mine was worse

[wintry ice]

well i'm getting back up

[cloud sinew]

new players finding out that meta builds actually work

[ancient gyro]

I kinda miss black deck

maybe I'll just do pairless++ on black deck instead

[unborn cliff]

high cortisol deck

[ancient gyro]

maybe

[wintry ice]

words said by exactly 1 person

[wanton breach]

diabetic deck

[wary zodiac]

pair

[wintry ice]

hey another good start

[unborn cliff]

guy that doesnt know what cortisol is

[finite heron]

Gold stonk

[wanton breach]

i like to pretend like i didn't know anything

[upper spade]

I don't use meta about 90% of the time.

[wintry ice]

nice

[wanton breach]

(i really didn't know anything)

[unborn cliff]

it's just too easy

[glossy mortar]

Hey so this is an insane start to a game.

[unborn cliff]

do you know what cortisol is

[wintry ice]

i decided to do some rolling down after getting hermit for scoring

[unborn cliff]

green joker in the pack

[wanton breach]

do i look like someone who know what cortisol is

[cloud sinew]

did you take a double investment tag :(

[unborn cliff]

you should know what cortisol is

[glossy mortar]

Yeah xD

[cloud sinew]

you should know your 15 times tables

[wanton breach]

you're currently talking to a fool

[cloud sinew]

but you dont

[glossy mortar]

First time ever seeing a double investment.

[wintry ice]

don't wanna get caught in a massive fumble again

[unborn cliff]

i have a calculator for that

[unborn cliff]

stress hormone

[cloud sinew]

they have wikipedia for that

[wintry ice]

cool a blue seal

[unborn cliff]

it's also standard to only learn times tables up to 10 in the us

[cloud sinew]

thats stupid

[unborn cliff]

i know

[cloud sinew]

in the UK we're taught up to 12 at the least

[unborn cliff]

bro is british

[wintry ice]

and we start the brainrot

[wanton breach]

from what google said is high cortisol can lead to diabetes

[cloud sinew]

are you looking at the AI overview...

[unborn cliff]

was it google ai

[wary zodiac]

the photochad leaving my body as i discover grimbo

[ancient gyro]

I thought it was 12 am I that old

[wintry ice]

do i just sell drunkard for fist

[wanton breach]

yes

[wintry ice]

it sounds very safe

[unborn cliff]

how old could you possibly be

i learned my times tables in 3rd grade man

[cloud sinew]

between 13 and like 110

[terse dock]

Sell the faceless for cream too

[wintry ice]

selling todd is another route but idk

[unborn cliff]

sounds about right

[cloud sinew]

dont trust AI twin

[terse dock]

You have good money id start playing for tempo now

[cloud sinew]

you can't be believing the AI overview

[hybrid tendon]

nah I agree

[wanton breach]

google making ai to summarize things and giving misinformation that could led to someone dying: 😎

[unborn cliff]

ai overview gives me high cortisol

[wary zodiac]

credit card in the- wait

[cloud sinew]

at the bare minimum you should be checking the sources it lists

[terse dock]

ai overview makes me die

[cloud sinew]

and if it doesnt list sources then DONT BELIEVE IT

[ancient gyro]

yk how vietnamese parents are

[wintry ice]

i have an extension to remove it

[unborn cliff]

i do not

[cloud sinew]

i dont use google

[wanton breach]

i haven't checked any articles tho

[wintry ice]

that's also fair

[wary zodiac]

ai bubble will burst soon inshallah

[wintry ice]

how are the alternative search engines

[ancient gyro]

duckduckgo mfs

[wanton breach]

I'll read some of them and find a trusted ones

[wary zodiac]

duckduckgo and startpage are pretty good

[terse dock]

I know the important ones but sometimes I take a minute to do 7x9

[unborn cliff]

i know what you are

[wanton breach]

amin

[hybrid tendon]

we hope

so badly

[cloud sinew]

duckduckgo is slightly worse to find specific stuff by searching but you won't have all your searches be filled with AI generated content, it's pretty good.

[exotic mica]

2014 siri would curbstomp chat.gpt

[wary zodiac]

yeah

[terse dock]

I just use -ai

[upper spade]

I get this now.
Two blinds away from the Showdown Blind.

[cloud sinew]

doesnt work for the drop-downs

[wintry ice]

duckduckgo is the more well known one

[cloud sinew]

also means you cant search for things that have "ai" in the search

[wary zodiac]

i use before:2020

[wintry ice]

ight i guess drunkard goes now

[hybrid tendon]

I'm so fucking impatient for the ladybird browser release

[subtle drum]

that it resets after playing your most played hand… like that’s so counterintuitive to the way the game works or at least the way i play the game personally. but i can see that most people here just have no life and are looking for an argument lol so im not gonna waste any more time here

[wintry ice]

and faceless now

[cloud sinew]

you're just insulting people now

[terse dock]

This joker placement is pissing me off

[wanton breach]

ai to help searching is good, ai to show their search results is bad

[ancient gyro]

ironic statement is ironic

[upper spade]

Should I drop Rocket and take the Credit Card?
Or just stay how I am?

[wintry ice]

i forgot to tkae green joker but bus showed up

[exotic mica]

i agree tho a lot of builds revolve around a specific hand types

[hybrid tendon]

having free time and getting into arguments is having no life now

[wintry ice]

i'll take it

[wary zodiac]

i forgot about that project

[subtle drum]

see? my point proved

[terse dock]

proven*

[ancient gyro]

the best use I've ever found in ai was for specific audio language translation

[unborn cliff]

the woke left is trying to cancel being an annoying chud

[hybrid tendon]

you have nothing proved tho ?

[cloud sinew]

what did you proved

[ancient gyro]

they finally left?

[wintry ice]

oh, that's xmult

[cloud sinew]

no they still have a role colour

[exotic mica]

the beauty of a roguelite is you can play it however the fuck you want

[unborn cliff]

why do you have dni normal people in your name

[ancient gyro]

u missed the joke but ight

[cloud sinew]

you'll lose more often if you don't play optimally though

[exotic mica]

who cares about optimization

[wanton breach]

I'm agreeing with you on this, Japan no mano

[cloud sinew]

a lot of people

[terse dock]

if youre going to waltz into a discord server with people minmaxxing their play you need to expect to be told to optimize

[hybrid tendon]

the beauty of difficulty is that you have to actually put some thoughts into how you play

[cloud sinew]

you're just meaning "i dont care" but thats not what youre saying

just say what you mean

[ancient gyro]

it works decently well for say audio language lessons when cross translating

[wary zodiac]

i think the counterintuitive-ness is part of the point of it, its extremely strong but it requires you to entirely pivot how you've been playing til that point

if you plan around getting a mid to lategame obelisk, it carries runs, but i understand it can be frustrating to get it early or forget to plan for it and end up with essentially a paperweight

[wanton breach]

it's also really dangerous in the hands of scammers

[upper spade]

Finally! Gold Stake Nebula done!

[hybrid tendon]

it looks so promising

[ancient gyro]

among other things they already have a hold of lol

[wanton breach]

my family experience it once

[wintry ice]

every community has people who like minmaxing

[upper spade]

Gold Stake Nebula took way too long.

[wintry ice]

like why is that a surprise

[fickle mesa]

isnt that

not at all what roguelikes are appealing for?

[wanton breach]

omg shadowp*ssy

[wary zodiac]

what?

[fickle mesa]

isnt the interesting part that the games rng decides your tools for the run?

[fickle mesa]

i mistyped that

[hybrid tendon]

yeah

[wintry ice]

also that as a follow up to this doesn't make sense because the people who optimise chose to play like that

[terse vale]

me !

[ancient gyro]

no risk plays gets boring and stale I like high stakes and inventive ideas

[cloud sinew]

shadow is meaning that a fun part about roguelikes is it's not just a sandbox, you cant just play how you want and get away with it; youre forced to change your playstyle to what the run offers you if you want to win

[wanton breach]

*shadowp#ssy

[wary zodiac]

if you hate playing around it though, thats fine, its kinda annoying to play around if you're not planning for it, play how you want and have fun

[ancient gyro]

like surviving in the wilderness

[wanton breach]

wtf

[fickle mesa]

like you can't play isaac and get brimstone every run

[wary zodiac]

yeah

thats fair

[wintry ice]

most of my scoring was unconditional at the time i took obelisk

hell, it works with castle and summit alone

but red card just made it an easy trip

[terse dock]

I like getting crafty in the wilderness

[hybrid tendon]

there's a difference between not playing it and calling it trash

[terse dock]

Especially when I start to mine

[wintry ice]

do i replace rocket for this

[cloud sinew]

"play how you want and have fun" is all well and good if we weren't talking about balance, how strong something is.
it's akin to saying you can do any opener in chess, sure, but you're gonna get your ass beat if you do like pawn b3 b4 b5 as your opener

[upper spade]

Keep Rocket.

[terse dock]

the Berlin wall defense

[upper spade]

It's more reliable for money.

[terse dock]

BOORING

[wintry ice]

well this is also an option

[ancient gyro]

you're well above interest cap

[wintry ice]

rebate is 10$ a round on average with no deckfixing

[cloud sinew]

it's more reliable, but econ doesnt need to be reliable

[gentle island]

Ggs

[wintry ice]

it'll take a lot of antes for rocket to surpass it

[cloud sinew]

WAIT

[wintry ice]

i also have 6 aces and 10s

[gentle island]

also didnt hit a single bean this whole run

[cloud sinew]

you couldve crimson handsize bugged 😭

[cloud sinew]

ah

[gentle island]

?

[unborn cliff]

i appear to be dead

[wintry ice]

anyways do i do seeing double instead

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt need to hit bean yk, it works with any handsize joker

[terse dock]

she was referring to the bean glitch

[wintry ice]

rebate and rocket help glass joker so

[unborn cliff]

fuck the vessel man

[ancient gyro]

I wouldn't if you don't need it rn

[wintry ice]

ic

[terse dock]

probably the most plausible one to do so actually

[wary zodiac]

in terms of balance, its good, no debating that

but that analogy doesn't really work because choosing not to play obelisk isn't instantly throwing, its just taking any other viable opener

[cloud sinew]

obelisk is an incredibly strong joker, ignoring it means you're stunting your runs a lot.

[brittle umbra]

Wtf is that

[gentle island]

No I mean like bean was my last joker

[terse dock]

Stuntman

[wintry ice]

choosing to not take a powerful joker at the time where it's useful is the definition of a blunder

[cloud sinew]

oh for C++

[gentle island]

yeah

and I got baron mime instead

so I decided maybe see if I can hit naneinf gold stake

[terse dock]

Erm actually it would be a missed win

[lapis blade]

is beating a deck on gold stake just c+

or just c

[cloud sinew]

no

[terse dock]

Neither

[cloud sinew]

neither of those

[wintry ice]

i guess

[wary zodiac]

superblunder

[lapis blade]

what would it be

[terse dock]

nothing

or high stakes i guess

[lapis blade]

how to get regular c

[cloud sinew]

discover everything in the collection

[terse dock]

unlock AND discover everything in collection

[wintry ice]

unlock and discover everything

[cloud sinew]

why do you need to specify "unlock"

the achievement doesnt

[terse dock]

I dont know as a matter of fact

[lapis blade]

as of 1.2 you can discover cards without unlocking them

[gentle island]

just incase you discover it without unlocking it first yk fr

[terse dock]

I may be stupid

[lapis blade]

i've seen the future

[cloud sinew]

and why did you both do it 😭

[terse dock]

sorry

[wintry ice]

meow

[cloud sinew]

not a value judgement

just an observation

[exotic mica]

is "scaling" stencil worth it?

[wintry ice]

me when my joker slots are full and i have nothing to sell

[lapis blade]

im gonna go for a naneinf

on a set seed

[fickle mesa]

it depends

[drowsy rain]

It’s calling me

[cloud sinew]

its not usually worth dropping jokers so you get more stencil value

[ancient gyro]

me in the next jjk episode

[gentle island]

wait question about bean does picking one up remove the chance to get one ever again?

[exotic mica]

id give up scary face flash and trio

[cloud sinew]

no

[fickle mesa]

if i need to i do drop econ for it

[terse dock]

no

[fickle mesa]

def not flash or trio

[gentle island]

ok peak

[terse dock]

the only joker with that property is popping a gros naturally

[fickle mesa]

unless u arent planning on doing 3oak

[exotic mica]

im probably running 3oak

its scaling well with flash

[cloud sinew]

@ancient gyro i might have my balatro goal(s) for the time being to be

• getting a debuffed via perishable popcorn
• getting a debuffed via perishable bean

[exotic mica]

are odds for getting a perishable reset after it dies?

[fickle mesa]

well flash does best with pairs but maybe with the trio you want 3oak anyways

[cloud sinew]

wdym "reset"?

[exotic mica]

like the rng for getting it in the shop

[fickle mesa]

keep flash and trio and then maybe after enough planets drop scary face

[terse dock]

If youre still holding rhe joker it cannot appear without showman

[cloud sinew]

it's still 30%, yes.

[exotic mica]

or would you need showman?

[fickle mesa]

crimson heart?

[cloud sinew]

oh

you mean if its debuffed

[exotic mica]

yes

[gentle island]

how

[cloud sinew]

no, you can't find the joker again unless you have showman or it's Joker

[cloud sinew]

crimson heart

[fickle mesa]

crimson heart debuffs it

[terse dock]

I keep blundering sorry yall goodnight

[exotic mica]

even after it breaks?

[gentle island]

oh

[terse dock]

what does the elephant mean

[cloud sinew]

breaks? do you mean once it's debuffed?
it can't appear if it's debuffed

[cloud sinew]

i like the message

because i like elephants

[terse dock]

I mixed up stuntman and showman im washed

[terse dock]

I see

[cloud sinew]

go for a splash

[drowsy rain]

Is this photochad bait

[exotic mica]

PLEASE lose acrobat

[fickle mesa]

what are ur levels

[fickle mesa]

hwy

[terse dock]

Probably

[drowsy rain]

Level two pair 🥹

It’s def bait don’t even answer that

[fickle mesa]

okay probably yeah

[cloud sinew]

its definitely bait

5 antes of red card value

[ancient gyro]

like in a random run

[cloud sinew]

ya

[wary zodiac]

what if balatro had a backpack where you could store jokers that are debuffed whilst in the backpack

[ancient gyro]

I see

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt like it

[wary zodiac]

and there were jokers and vouchers that work with the mechanic

[cloud sinew]

it's too niche and it's stake specific

[ancient gyro]

someone made an idea to use consumable slots as a joker backpack storage

[fickle mesa]

then why would you even include joker blocking to begin with

[wary zodiac]

by itself yeah it'd be pretty niche

[fickle mesa]

unless if the backpack is a joker

[exotic mica]

eternal chad just shat the bed

[cloud sinew]

i dont like stake specific mechanics besides just the difficulty from stakes directly

[wary zodiac]

but i think there would be some fun mechanics you could add along with it that wouldn't be possible otherwise

[cloud sinew]

new stake specific mechanics should be resultant ones, not directly added ones

[gentle island]

uh guys

[cloud sinew]

yeah

thats been in the game for years

[fickle mesa]

oh my god

[wary zodiac]

wait wdym by stake specific

[fickle mesa]

"here win" ass seed

[exotic mica]

invis glitch?

[drowsy rain]

I’m weeing it

[cloud sinew]

your backpack mechanic was specific to debuffed, which only happens on crimson (so not relevant) and with perishables, which is orange stake+

[cloud sinew]

invis and ankh cause it yeah

[gentle island]

ankh yeah

[drowsy rain]

Pretty sure it would only do something if you had a judgement during said blind too? Because there’s no point in holding a perished joker

[exotic mica]

jesus christ ive played 39 hours in the last week

[cloud sinew]

or for preventing bad hits from invis i suppose

but all of those are incredibly niche

[drowsy rain]

It just seems too niche

[radiant fossil]

you guys think this is enough power for black deck?

[exotic mica]

please organize them 🙏

[cloud sinew]

Couponeer - Each item in the shop has a 1 in 5 chance to be free

[radiant fossil]

strat is flush faces. I have a couple of added kings

[drowsy rain]

It doesn’t really matter in this case unless you have ocd

[sterile zealot]

methinks pareidolia is prolly not necessary for photochad build cuz ur drawing into face cards anyway no?

i very much like scary face in photochad builds. balances the mult.

[cloud sinew]

builds that die to the plant and needle for 100 please

[radiant fossil]

i dont have enough faces for that yet

wouldnt bet on it

[exotic mica]

scary face AND parei

[drowsy rain]

Seems like a Wild face cards build anyways

Even drawing the normal amount of face cards would be enough

[graceful talon]

we taking the duo here orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[woven spire]

showman is the greedy play here

but funny

[subtle drum]

i wouldn’t

no need

[drowsy rain]

If you’re building past ante 8 it really doesn’t do anything

[radiant fossil]

my deck is this currently.
deck fixing barely half done

[drowsy rain]

Try to get wild cards? A heart ancient hit in a late ante might suck balls

[woven spire]

FUCK the mouth

[cloud sinew]

you have 18/52 of your deck as red cards; if you get hearts or diamonds youre very likely to not draw enough cards

[drowsy rain]

Pairslop loses again ❤️‍🩹

[radiant fossil]

yes, i see that

so i guess im not betting on drawing hearts

[drowsy rain]

Nevermind you’re running trio

low cortisol

But also probably why you lost

[bold crystal]

the devil is tempting me

[subtle drum]

this would be a crime to not take

[heady fable]

Finally beat gold stake for the first time

[subtle drum]

awesome, good w*rk

[bold crystal]

i mean i already score like 10m so im just gonna keep doing lucky cat

[sick hemlock]

good j&b

[heady fable]

Bp, Bloodstone , fib, double polychrome hack

Ghost deck

[drowsy rain]

That sounds like an endless run dude

[subtle drum]

fair but surely swap sock out for photo if u still can

[heady fable]

Made it to ante 10/11 (already forgo), bloodstone fell asleep

Had a 5 of hearts with red seal

[subtle drum]

it does do that 💔

[heady fable]

No oops not even once

💔

[subtle drum]

sigh

[heady fable]

I wasn't even mad I wanted that run to die

[drowsy rain]

Unfortunately the superior hack falls victim to endless face card runs

[heady fable]

Been playing balatro for 3 hours straight I wanted to get off

💔

[heady fable]

Went hack cause I was looking for wee

[drowsy rain]

But think about the fourth

It could be anything

[heady fable]

I had a good round 1 wee run earlier but forgot to read the boss blind and died to the needle trying to farm 💔

[heady fable]

No

I won't

For my own sanity

Tomorrow I play yellow deck

[finite heron]

8th soul of the day

[cursive lion]

taking three rental jokers is crazy work

also do not because that means you will have to sell lucky cat and i will... not be happy if you do that

[finite heron]

Chiot kinda mid

[cursive lion]

chigoat is good

[gentle island]

was just broke the whole time I dont really know how to play red joker well

[turbid smelt]

This seed is crazy on plasma

Just found it

[plain briar]

what do i need to extend my run

i have been looking for ecto

[unreal topaz]

you have invis

its plasma white

[cursive lion]

yeah without that ecto there isn't much you can do

or antimatter

since you already have blank redeemed

[plain briar]

its such a good run rn

[unreal topaz]

made more money and rerolled for more colas about 7 antes ago

rn you're at the mercy of vouchers

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[plain briar]

i had so much cash

had $842

[serene forge]

perkeo 16 antes ago

[turbid smelt]

Guys what should I do to get past ante 8

[serene forge]

not nearly enough for endless

you want a couple thousand at minimum

whenever you want to roll for something

[unreal topaz]

you could be doing much, much better

[serene forge]

sell photo

[plain briar]

what could i done differently

[turbid smelt]

My deck is stacked with kings

I’m not

[serene forge]

you have one xmult trigger in a chip build

[unreal topaz]

idk, i didnt see the first 16 antes

[serene forge]

arrowhead wins

[turbid smelt]

I’m on a king high card run

[unreal topaz]

but just be greedier basically

[turbid smelt]

My whole deck is king of diamonds

[serene forge]

then what are you even asking for ☠️

[turbid smelt]

Idk what should I do

Should I rip the planet pack and pray for Pluto

[serene forge]

your whole deck is kings

are you sure

[turbid smelt]

Or take the arcana

[serene forge]

i really doubt that

[turbid smelt]

Basically

[serene forge]

bruh

[turbid smelt]

Trying to find Barron

No luck tho

[unreal topaz]

how much base mult is high card at? compared to 4oak and flush five

[spring granite]

close

[serene forge]

you'd have more luck if you had more than 23 dollars

[unreal topaz]

so flush five is more score

[radiant fossil]

i dont think i have enough power...

[unreal topaz]

photo is just okay without red seals

[turbid smelt]

Okay

I’m gonna start ante 8

[serene forge]

sell parei

or smiley

or scary

none of those are necessary

[gentle island]

i need advice

[serene forge]

trans talisman

[gentle island]

look at my jokers tho fr

[radiant fossil]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[turbid smelt]

I need to discard for flush five dude than I lose my chips

[gentle island]

ouija could go crazy

[spring granite]

yo I run those as my hearts and clubs too. Game recognizes game, literally

[radiant fossil]

i win black deckkkkk

[serene forge]

ouija sucks

[gentle island]

ok fine ill be boring

[serene forge]

i didn't say that

[spring granite]

but that one time

[hybrid tendon]

base flush five has more chips than your measle banner

[serene forge]

heyyyyyyyy~

[turbid smelt]

It’s plasma deck nephew

[hybrid tendon]

you're using x mult

we don't care

also it still has more chips ???

[serene forge]

i don't think you understand how plasma works

like at all

[hybrid tendon]

I don't get your point

[turbid smelt]

I have on xmult 2 blue prints and one plus chip

[serene forge]

also nephew is crazy

[hybrid tendon]

like genuinely flush five is your best option rn if your deck is full of kings

[serene forge]

build into one of them

not both

[turbid smelt]

Oh btw the dna and the blueprints are foil

[serene forge]

that's literally the entire point of plasma

[turbid smelt]

Don’t know if you saw

[serene forge]

don't car

[hybrid tendon]

yeah I saw

[turbid smelt]

I can’t naninf with plus chips

[hybrid tendon]

then build into xmult

[serene forge]

you can't naneinf with one photograph either ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ ☠️

[turbid smelt]

I have 3 actually

[serene forge]

you know what i mean

[hybrid tendon]

no you have 1 and 2 bp

[serene forge]

you also can't naneinf with your piss poor econ either

you have so many things you could do better

[turbid smelt]

I’m just praying for Barron

I’m spamming re roll

[serene forge]

you can't naneinf with prayers

[turbid smelt]

Ok I beat the ante 7 boss

[hybrid tendon]

genuinely play flush five, like that's probably your only option

[turbid smelt]

I have 50 bucks

I have flush five unlocked

[serene forge]

see if you can get like

sock and golden ticket

idk

[turbid smelt]

Should I re roll and try to find Barron

[hybrid tendon]

no

save your money

[turbid smelt]

LETS FUCKING GO

Nan inf here we come

[serene forge]

can you tell me the requirements for naneinf real quick

[turbid smelt]

Like e308 I think

[serene forge]

yeah and how do you get there

[turbid smelt]

Negative Scary face joker

[spring granite]

first we gotta shoot the moon

[radiant fossil]

now that i think of it, verdant leaf is actually perfect for black deck, I barely scraped by

[turbid smelt]

NOOOOOO

What do I sell?

[spring granite]

didn't read the boss blind? it's like we're in some kind of... Balatro

[serene forge]

family

[spring granite]

absolute

[turbid smelt]

That’s my only x mult no way

[radiant fossil]

dna if you deck fixing is mostly done

ig

[upper spade]

DNA probably.

[spring granite]

I think there might be one more

if I'm counting right

[serene forge]

or sell dna yeah

that works

[turbid smelt]

I have 38 kings is that good enough

[radiant fossil]

kinda

[serene forge]

you don't even have red seals

your position is really bad rn

no purple seals either

[turbid smelt]

I could have taken a purp seal but I took the enhanced face cards earlier in the run

[radiant fossil]

what's your average best added hand

[serene forge]

bro

i think you should like read a guide on this first

you're doing so many things wrong

[weak relic]

So what did I miss

[turbid smelt]

What

[woven spire]

how does blackboard interacts with the goad?

[glossy mortar]

My jaw is on the floor right now. Not only did I just beat another gold stake, but I did it without even resetting once. Meaning i have a 2 streak of gold stake.

This entire run was a god seed from the start. Getting burglar at the very start right after a first time ever double investment tag was just beautiful, going for flushes ended up being optimal, but eventually with the sheer quantity of death cards (yet few hung men) i ended up with so many jacks that i pivoted and did something I’ve never ever done before. A flush 5 build. I ended up obliterating pretty much every single ante and didn’t come close to dying at all. This was the biggest slam dunk ever and to see it on gold stake, my second gold stake in a row. Is truly a god game.

This insane win AND streak is 100% dedicated to @cloud sinew. Not only have you helped me immensely in the past, but you also recommended I do blue deck next and were the first one to react to my insane starting play of a double investment tag which this seed starts with. This is hands down the best seed I’ve ever played.

[turbid smelt]

I’ve been playing this game for a year

[drowsy rain]

Shit which one is square joker

[turbid smelt]

I know what I’m talm bout

[serene forge]

my father always told me age doesn't always correlate with wisdom

[radiant fossil]

one hand it triggers all your jokers in the best way, what does it come to

[woven spire]

chat help cuz ionno

[spring granite]

we love flushes. GGs

[woven spire]

pls

[turbid smelt]

What

Ohhh

[upper spade]

Highest score from one hand.

[turbid smelt]

2 mil

[craggy gale]

Death to the banana

[weak relic]

Just dont leave any heart or diamond cards in ur hand. Ion think it matters

[covert steeple]

Evening, Balatro enthusiasts

[radiant fossil]

ahhh dw about it, you're at 200k anyways, doing much better than me

[drowsy rain]

Amber acorn needs a buff

[weak relic]

Double dice

[turbid smelt]

Plasma deck scaling tho

[weak relic]

Both eternal rental

[woven spire]

if my in hand cards are all spades does it work?

[weak relic]

Yeah

[woven spire]

ohhh alr thx

[weak relic]

Heck even when there's nothing in ur hand

It will trigger

[spring granite]

as long as they aren't stone cards
