[devout reef]

Pot successfully stirred

[glad smelt]

Can perkeo mime naneinf on plasma without baron?(obv with steal red seal)

[twin lantern]

Its a well known example for sure, there' reasons to not purchase any gaming console for me.

[cloud sinew]

gros michel spinning really fucking fast

[robust lance]

Chat let’s kill this guy

[errant bolt]

am i weird if i only own balatro on mobile

[visual lance]

All of my attempted runs after my first win have crashed and burned before the 2nd boss blind

[rancid gull]

No

[visual lance]

same

[devout reef]

Ok ok let’s kill this guy, let’s kill this guy with hammers

[robust lance]

This is what happens when it expires btw

[marsh gate]

I'm gonna be doing an experiment sometime today with the erratic deck to see what ratios it gives me of each card

[rancid gull]

Nanar

[cloud sinew]

why are you using minecraft ???

[rancid gull]

In Minecraft lol?

[marsh gate]

long story

[cloud sinew]

just use excel lmao

[visual lance]

????????

[robust lance]

Too poor to buy balatro

[marsh gate]

I have it

[cloud sinew]

then it's not testing balatro is it

[robust lance]

Shush

[marsh gate]

it's just on the same device as minecraft

[uncut star]

Does anyone know the different between switch 1 Balatro and switch 2 Balatro

[shell dagger]

1

[cloud sinew]

wdym "the different between"?
there isnt really a difference between them

[cosmic sun]

one runs better

[shell dagger]

now in 120hz!!!!!

[rancid gull]

Balatro can run better,

?

[cloud sinew]

but thats not a difference on the game

[rancid gull]

Nintendo switch 2 slop

[shell dagger]

no way, secret runner buff

[ashen laurel]

whats your guys thoughts on chips and mult in poker hands rn? im tryna do a small survey

[cloud sinew]

what

[shell dagger]

base hands or planets

[cloud sinew]

your question needs to be more specific

thats a very bad survey question

[uncut star]

I meant performance sorry

[ashen laurel]

sorry 😭

[cosmic sun]

dgrat haters in SHAMBLES

[rancid gull]

Delayed gratification is fine

It’s grown on me

[ashen laurel]

whats your guys thoughts on the chips and mult, both base and planet, in poker hands rn?

[uncut star]

I meant to ask for performance what’s the difference sorry I left to go cook my food I didn’t mean to leave my question bad like that

[marsh gate]

switch 2 runs on balls of wool

[cloud sinew]

5oak sucks, full house sucks

[rancid gull]

Switch 2 nets you 5 more frames

[rancid gull]

Why does 5oak suck

[shell dagger]

imo base hands are fine except I think straight flush and higher could get slight buffs, for the planets, mercury would be fine with a nerf and earth/planetx could use buffs

[rancid gull]

I’ve always wondered that

[weary whale]

I heard there’s also mouse controls but idk for sure

[marsh gate]

but also a 25% chance to generate //crash in the shop

[digital pewter]

another huge gold sticker run

[shell dagger]

the order of the base hands can’t really change tho (except f5/flouse)

[digital pewter]

i skipped the small blind of ante 8 for the negative tag and it paid off big

[rancid gull]

Worlds happiest superposition lover

[ashen laurel]

can i ask why?

[rancid gull]

The scaling is pretty bad on it iirc

Compared to the other unlockable hands

[ebon maple]

Bad

[rancid gull]

I hate unlocking it

Flush 5 is just better

Flush house is kinda awkward

[digital pewter]

so fire

[rancid gull]

Unironically maybe straight flush cards should be stronger

Planets

I mean

[ebon maple]

Yeah cause its like if you have 5oak you will most of the times prefer flush five

[ashen laurel]

i got to plot out the first 10 chip levels of each hand.. yeah, thats why i asked in the first place lol

[ebon maple]

50+5 no jokes

Hardest hand in the game

[rancid gull]

Exactly

[shy brook]

I just got my first legendary joker
and then I got another one
first two arcana packs

[uncut star]

So what’s the performance difference

[rancid gull]

So have the level up and builds around it become stronger

[rancid gull]

What was it

[shy brook]

chicot and triboulet

[rancid gull]

Goats

[ashen laurel]

so you guys think straight flush should be better, yah?
and maybe second is 5oak and the two houses

[digital pewter]

fire

[shy brook]

now I can't let this run die

[digital pewter]

straight flush def

[shell dagger]

straight flush planet is fine

[cosmic sun]

This glass joker might do something yet

[shell dagger]

already joint strongest

[shell dagger]

really hope you aren’t just killing the 8

[cosmic sun]

I killed a queen

[digital pewter]

the problem with straight flush is that you have to build heavily into straights to even get into it, and then you'll have leveled it so much that straight flushes are a downgrade

[rancid gull]

8 ball value

[ebon maple]

Idk, 5oak is in a strange spot

[ebon maple]

Nah, buff it

[cosmic sun]

speculative 8 ball

that 8 could have been a 9

[digital pewter]

9 ball

[shell dagger]

id rather buff the base value tbh

[ebon maple]

Please bring more dedicated jokers with aces apart from scholar

One more pls

[wintry ice]

the most yellow deck start ever

[ebon maple]

Then it is maybe too op? Idk tbf

[shell dagger]

here win

[cosmic sun]

Yea man we need mitosis joker

[digital pewter]

honestly i just think the planet scaling should be way higher

[wintry ice]

do i take eternal 8 ball

[shell dagger]

no

[uncut star]

I found the difference

[ebon maple]

Something special please, not just walkie talkie

[wintry ice]

buffing the planet scaling doesn't change the fact that straights are good enough

[cloud sinew]

not really, straight flushes are hard to draw

[errant bolt]

absolutely not

[ebon maple]

Very hard, but i would rather buff the planet

Than the base value

50+5

[wintry ice]

the boss blind is the hook

moment

[shell dagger]

controversial, what if planet/tarot shop weight went from 4 to 5

[shy brook]

imagine if I got a second chicot that would've been so funny

[ebon maple]

Wym?

I dont understand

[shell dagger]

read the wiki page on the shop

[wintry ice]

probably could have kept wrathful

[frank grove]

i dont think this is controversial at all

[cloud sinew]

so planets and tarots appear 15% more often

i like this change

[frank grove]

more tarots and planets are good

[shell dagger]

ye

[digital pewter]

i mean, i get what you're saying, but that doesn't change it should probably still be buffed

[ebon maple]

Fankipedia?

[frank grove]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/The_Shop

[ebon maple]

Tarot merchant in the corner 🥺

[shell dagger]

that

[ebon maple]

Tysm

[uncut star]

I lied I didn’t find the difference

[wintry ice]

honestly strush doesn't strike as something that needs to be viable to me

[uncut star]

But what’s the performance difference let me guess switch 2 runs better?

[wintry ice]

bruh square is eternal

[ebon maple]

Ahh ok ok

Now i understand

[frank grove]

yeah strush can be played very rarely and it works well enough in those niche ways

[ebon maple]

Weioghts

[sage bough]

Guys I'm in a pickle here

[cosmic sun]

death

[sage bough]

Purple Stake Ante 4, my Jokers are Baseball Card, Certificate, Eternal Photograph, Hologram, and Eternal Rocket

There's an Eternal Brainstorm for sale

[shell dagger]

also makes joker probability a clean 2/3 which doesn’t really matter tbh

[rancid gull]

Bro is trying to get his moneys worth lol

[frank grove]

whats hologram on?

[cosmic sun]

I am not getting a Switch 2 for Balatro son

[sage bough]

x3.25

[ebon maple]

You never sell holo there no?

[digital pewter]

do you mean like, you should just play straights instead anyways because they're easier?

[cosmic sun]

I think unless they release some actual fire there is barely any reason to get one

[ebon maple]

I mean its 0.5 at least per round

[frank grove]

im not saying sell holo

[sage bough]

I got it like shop 2 and I got Certificate so it buffs every blind

[frank grove]

im asking for context

[ebon maple]

1.25 counting brainstoem

[frank grove]

you probably sell bbc for bs

[sage bough]

But I have 3 Uncommons 😔

[wintry ice]

and they scale well enough

[frank grove]

yeah but copying holo is worth way more

[sage bough]

And one of them is eternal rocket

Okay

[wintry ice]

ok that's cool

[uncut star]

Im not I got the switch 2 edition for free cause I already the switch 1 edition I just want to know what’s different between the 2 performance or whatever else

[wintry ice]

well

i'm thinking i should just buy chaos instead

[ebon maple]

Yeah but like certificate cant go neither, it will outscore the value of bbc pretty quick, moreso with brainstorm or is smth that i am missing

(Trying to improve my reads)

[frank grove]

im saying sell bbc to copy cert to make holo better

and then copy holo and thats it

[sage bough]

Forgot to dupe my Certificate at the start but it's fine

[rancid gull]

Does it even matter?

[ebon maple]

Ik ik, but in what context would it not be that the best play, trying to learn

[uncut star]

I just wanna know im curious

[wintry ice]

what does everyone else say

[frank grove]

if you couldnt beat next round basically

[willow frost]

chaos

would if it wasnt eternal though

[ebon maple]

Oh okey, tsym

[knotty folio]

Any tips for scaling into the later antes? I feel like I keep getting stuck around like 80k lol

[cloud sinew]

xmult

[uncut star]

Can I not be curious

[wintry ice]

chat square scaling or 3$ what do i get

[willow frost]

money

[sage bough]

Red seal glass queen W

[shell dagger]

$4

[cosmic sun]

3 dolar

[wintry ice]

eternal parking sounds very worth it

[shell dagger]

extra dolla of interest

[sage bough]

Oh cool I got the Big Hands achievement

I got 80 cards

[ebon maple]

YmultxZmult

[wintry ice]

the immolate got both of my seals

[weak relic]

Mmm pairslop

[still pike]

Banana or bufoon?

[cloud sinew]

steamodded... manacle is harder as a result

[wintry ice]

oh cool

[cloud sinew]

neither, arrowhead

[weak relic]

Arrowhead

[shy brook]

I think this is genuinely my luckiest run so far

[wintry ice]

what does smods do to manacle

[cloud sinew]

luchador against manacle makes you go to 9/8 in vanilla, with smods it doesnt

[sage bough]

Dude I can get Photo Chad but I can only sell either Hologram or Certificate

Hologram is at 8.5 do I just sell certiricate

[wintry ice]

huh

[cloud sinew]

#1438862417135276233 message

[shy brook]

[cloud sinew]

idol

[still pike]

Take or skip?

[cloud sinew]

skip

[wintry ice]

actually with the slots i have i'm not as confident in eternal burglar

[sage bough]

Uhh do I Brainstorm Hologram or Chad

Cuz Hologram is at 8 5

[cloud sinew]

hologram

[still pike]

Imagine getting eternal invisible haha

[sage bough]

Ok

[cloud sinew]

it wouldnt be chad anyway it would be photograph

[uncut star]

It has mouse controls

[sage bough]

Big money bro

[weak relic]

Why self react?

[still pike]

Because I can

[weak relic]

[sage bough]

I got a Red Seal Glass Queen it's goin real nice

[wintry ice]

[still pike]

It better not break

[sage bough]

Don't jinx me dude

[calm furnace]

[still pike]

Lose?

[wintry ice]

is anything worth selling for banana?

[weak relic]

Mmm pairslop

[sage bough]

Bro Wheel just made my Hologran Polychrome

It's at 9.25 btw

[ashen laurel]

here's what the base scoring looks like. maybe nerfing flush five's scaling could make straight and straight flush better? 🤔

[tranquil otter]

nah probably not

[willow frost]

in ante 8 it probably wont because people rarely get to play 5oak let alone flush 5

[sage bough]

Okay guys I'm gonna fight Crimson Heart with me luck

[cloud sinew]

it wouldnt

[frank grove]

no, all that does it makes flush five worse sfor no reason

[exotic mica]

can judgement make eternal jokers?

[cloud sinew]

nerfing flush 5 would not make straight flush better, it would just make flush 5 worse. it's already bad

[willow frost]

naw

[frank grove]

no

[cloud sinew]

only on non-perishable

[quick cloak]

who said straight needs a buff

[sage bough]

Ez

[still pike]

I need midas or whatever its called next

[cloud sinew]

people generally dont decide between straight/straight flush vs flush five. nerfing one would not help the other

[willow frost]

oh yeah straight has a huge spike lol

[wintry ice]

there's already not much reason to play flush 5 outside of endless because of 4oak being enough

[frank grove]

yeah

[wintry ice]

wait

[young solar]

no discards as a boss blind ability is straight evil bruh

[wintry ice]

do i sell ramen for this

[ashen laurel]

hmmm okay

[quick cloak]

someones playing summitt

[frank grove]

no discards as a boss blind makes summit work without discarding no?

[wintry ice]

you know what screw it

[umbral coyote]

So guys I theoretically have an infinite money tech, if invis copies another active invis doesnt that technically give inf money although very slow???

[cloud sinew]

yes

[cloud sinew]

no

[shy brook]

my seltzer is gone but I got baron

[cloud sinew]

that was patched out years ago

[grim escarp]

Chat help, what's I'm supposed to do next 😭

[cloud sinew]

invis doesnt copy the rounds of another invis

it goes down to 0/2

[umbral coyote]

Does it stop giving sell value or doesnt thr copied not have the 2/2

Ah okay nvm

[frank grove]

i mean if you can score enough without jokers and you have two invises i guess its like 4 dollars every 2 rounds very bad bad econ but like sure possible

[willow frost]

yes, at 4 dollars per two rounds lol

[sage bough]

Good run I'd say, solid run

[grim escarp]

Do I just pray I find and ecto?

[cloud sinew]

its $8 really because you can sell both

[umbral coyote]

I thought it would copy the other invis progress too 😭

[wintry ice]

that works for now

[willow frost]

oh wait it has $4 sell value i forgot mb

[cosmic sun]

Glass Joker did not pop off

[sage bough]

84 card deck

[sage bough]

Oh yea lemme post my deck

[still pike]

A random steel 2

[sage bough]

It was what was in my hand at the time

So I made it steel

[ashen laurel]

balatro 6 player coop when

[wise trench]

does the switch 2 edition have mouse controls?

[sage bough]

Hologram is so cool bro

[cloud sinew]

GUYS

THERES A SPINNING MICHEL EMOTE

THANKS TO ME

[wintry ice]

honestly

[cloud sinew]

YEAH

[wintry ice]

this isn't entirely bad

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1476285695738773645.webp?size=48&animated=true&name=bananaspin&lossless=true

do i sell baron for the safe play or sell green joker instead for novelty

[still pike]

Baron unless u got lots of kings

[cloud sinew]

sell baron

[wintry ice]

idk i have 4

[cosmic sun]

ante 6 with essentially 2x mult

baron gone

[still pike]

Sell baron

[pine drum]

Yo, what Glass Joker + Brainstorm can do to a Pair hand in the Fragile Challenge

[wintry ice]

i did

[sage bough]

FNALLY

[cosmic sun]

if the steel kings did draw they'd probably help on their own without baron even

[sage bough]

I kept the purple run going a bit but I finally got Stuntman

[wintry ice]

oh hey

[still pike]

Is loyalty card good

[tranquil otter]

nah not really

[wintry ice]

it's an emergency card

like luchador

[tranquil otter]

if you have 6+ hands its like a better acrobat

[cloud sinew]

that dies to needle, one of two blinds that almost explicitly counters lobotomy

[wintry ice]

this is interesting

[cloud sinew]

but you probably have burglar if you have 6+ hands

[wintry ice]

idt i need to reroll it

[cloud sinew]

i think crimson is worse than vessel for you tbh

[still pike]

Get dusk loyalty and acrobat together is good right?

[tranquil otter]

true

[wintry ice]

8 jacks

would it be funny

[still pike]

Do it

[tranquil otter]

have to draw half of your jacks to match cav

would be pretty funny but not good on average

[wintry ice]

unfortunate

[crisp perch]

What do I grab for bp supernova is at 37 for high card

[still pike]

It would lower green joker tho

[tranquil otter]

lowering green joker is pretty funny but not good on average

[still pike]

Sell half for blueprint

[cloud sinew]

half is chips but it depends if that matters

[tranquil otter]

probably sell 8ball?

unless you have a lot of hc levels for chips

[cloud sinew]

1.5x might be better than +20 +50

[crisp perch]

I have 13

[tranquil otter]

13 levels?

[crisp perch]

Yep

[tranquil otter]

probably sell half then

[crisp perch]

125x13

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[crisp perch]

Kk

[tranquil otter]

if its not better right now its at least close enough and you can copy 8ball for some minor short term value if you want as well

[wintry ice]

eternal parking might have been a mistake

but not a blunder

[crisp perch]

The 8 ball just gave me a star

8 ball so worth fr

[wintry ice]

is this worth it

[gentle island]

no

not ante 1 atleast

the other one will also keep you good till like the end of ante 2

[cosmic sun]

On yellow deck maybe.

[wintry ice]

3oak isn't very consistent this early

[cosmic sun]

Starting money and all

[wintry ice]

but it is technically the safer option

[exotic mica]

damn i was doing so well

[still pike]

What's better?

[summer goblet]

So does the new switch 2 version bring over switch data somehow?

[cloud sinew]

cert i think

[cloud sinew]

not at the moment

[summer goblet]

K thanks

[calm sapphire]

maybe you could copy the files somehow idk

idk switch stuff

[cloud sinew]

you dont have access to those without homebrewing iirc

[wintry ice]

i have gotten more value out of a saturn than from zany

[still pike]

Getting a pluss discard joker makes it like black stake even tho your playing blue stake

[exotic mica]

going to any other deck after grinding checkered for two hours is a fucking nightmare

[wintry ice]

e

[still pike]

Sell to do list for it

[wintry ice]

i sold clever

[still pike]

I found same but as eternal

[wintry ice]

well baseball is also there

[frank grove]

gamers are we taking dagger in ante 1 if its rental?

[exotic mica]

FUCK no

[wintry ice]

xmult

oh banner is also good for this

[exotic mica]

duo for to do list

[wintry ice]

yea

[exotic mica]

its rental tho....

eh worth it u got $40

[cloud sinew]

depends if theres another joker in shop for me to eat with it

[wintry ice]

i can't really be picky with xmult

[frank grove]

I can feed the gem in a few rounds i guess

[exotic mica]

take duo

[wintry ice]

i think gem can help cover the costs

[frank grove]

yeah

[serene forge]

I love Square Joker

[wintry ice]

i could sell banner for this

helps 8 ball

[still pike]

Buy the voucher too

[wintry ice]

awesome

i think i'll sell either chad or 8 ball to be safe

probably chad

[cloud sinew]

why not splash

or do you need the chips

[wintry ice]

pairs are lvl 3 but i do have some bonus cards and stone

yea i'll sell splash

perkeo

not bad

guess i'm playing 4oak 8s

[hallow badge]

THIS IS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT
JACKPOT!!!

[oblique karma]

whats the best to copy here

[hallow badge]

Sock or chad…

Hmm

[wintry ice]

sock sounds safe

[oblique karma]

not chad for sure

[wintry ice]

time to make 2 billion red seal jacks

[hallow badge]

Why 2b?

Why not 5b

[wintry ice]

or purple 2 maybe

[wintry ice]

also what

[wicked rover]

rate my five of a kind ace build

[wintry ice]

5 of a kind ace ful

[hallow badge]

Can a robot make an ace build?

[cloud sinew]

"a robot"???

[hallow badge]

Yes

[wintry ice]

I KEEP COPYING UTTER BULLSHIT BY FORGETTING TO SELL IT

[wicked rover]

gg

[long oxide]

Anything that could make this better

[distant vault]

I hate obelisk

[wintry ice]

i passed on this as a foil

tht works

[heady zenith]

yall can my pc run balala

[cloud sinew]

yes

actually well above the minimum requirements

[spark kernel]

Do yall think this brand new console can run balatro

[distant vault]

I love pairs!!!!

[still pike]

What is balala

[cloud sinew]

banana if you used strength on the Ns twice

[faint linden]

Someone will eventually port it somehow

[heady zenith]

joke name for balatro

originated from a bootleg

[spark kernel]

The head is going to destroy bros run

[distant vault]

13k

[long oxide]

Already passed it

[wintry ice]

and i just got a constellation in the shop

[long oxide]

Before I got bloodstone

[heady zenith]

im guessing what stopping me is windows seven

[spark kernel]

Lucky pull

[faint linden]

Purple Stake better Sock my Buskin

Trib would be AMAZING and yes, this is my starting deck

[spark kernel]

Trib or a baron + mime would be really good here

[cloud sinew]

this runs on linux im pretty sure

so it'd run balatro

[faint linden]

I'll even take Sock

[still pike]

Gren joker as my first joker?

[tawdry rock]

thats bapapa

lmn o p

[cloud sinew]

??

[tawdry rock]

if youre referencing the alphabet

[cloud sinew]

that would be decreasing the ranks

[spark kernel]

W pull

[rancid gull]

Take the tiki

[tawdry rock]

you said you used strength on it

[rancid gull]

Idol

[cloud sinew]

ranks are ordered from highest to lowest, left to right

im applying that to the alphabet

[still pike]

Not when I accidentally reroll

[cloud sinew]

it starts at a and end at z, so a is leftmost and z is rightmost

[rancid gull]

Damn

[cloud sinew]

so strength would increase n to m then m to l

[tawdry rock]

this is confusing

[cloud sinew]

nah

[still pike]

Bro is teaching us the alphabet

[tawdry rock]

if z is the biggest and a is smallest

[cloud sinew]

thats not what i said at all

[tawdry rock]

then n would go to p

what huh

OH okay

[vestal copper]

here, win

[tawdry rock]

i completely misread that

apologies yes funny joke

[spark kernel]

Supernova is a really good common joker

[vestal copper]

supernova goes so well with pair slop

[calm furnace]

losing is a choice with Jj

[faint linden]

Is there a seed finder where I can put in my Erratic cards and starting tags?

[still pike]

I started new run and it only gave me thos the fuck

[cloud sinew]

youre running modded

[wintry ice]

restart the game

[cloud sinew]

this is a modded issue

[spark kernel]

Splash + sewing double is a combo that works

[still pike]

I only got multiplayer as a mod

[frank grove]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

yeah

which means your game is modded

[frank grove]

steammodded causes this issue

[cloud sinew]

its running steamodded

[gleaming urchin]

okay man what the fuck

[cloud sinew]

CHAD

DONT TAKE THE BAIT

[long oxide]

Is sock better than chad

[vestal copper]

gg chad

[tawdry rock]

show deck

[still pike]

Its never done this before and I made new run and its still 4 cards let me close balatro and reenter

[cloud sinew]

i know for certain this is a steamodded issue

this only happens to people with steamodded

[tawdry rock]

sock is better i think yeah

[frank grove]

sock probably better

[vestal copper]

are you flush fiving

[tawdry rock]

yes that

[cloud sinew]

theres a single flush 5 in deck

[tawdry rock]

id assume yeah because gold cards and golden ticket

[wintry ice]

perkeo is pretty fun

[still pike]

We're back

[wintry ice]

could have taken a hanged man for better card selection

[fringe nebula]

mfw michel refuses to die for 7 antes straight

[still pike]

Same yesterday

[vestal copper]

gros is the most cursed 1 in 6 ever tbh

[robust lance]

It’s title card

[spark kernel]

Have yall ever restarted your run at ante 1 when you play a stupid move or get abysmal stuff in the shop

[still pike]

I think some people here are owls

[vestal copper]

yeah

[sage bough]

Yes

[still pike]

Yes most runs actually

[frank notch]

a ton

[spark kernel]

Getting tarot cards in the first shop is so painful (not in pavks)

[fringe nebula]

what would you do when you see this

[pine drum]

I once restarted because at ante 1 game me a Canio with an abandoned deck

[frank notch]

how do i unlock either petroglyph, satellite, or stuntman quick

[frank grove]

thats like the best possible time to get him on abandoned what??

[fringe nebula]

anaglyph money tag

[vestal copper]

petroglyph hit baron mime

[faint linden]

Is there a seed calculator where I can input my Erratic Deck?

[fringe nebula]

sell for $10

[spark kernel]

Restart the run

[vestal copper]

on black its def just a restart

[pine drum]

hmmmm i guess i get what you mean, didn tcatch at the time lol

[still pike]

What do I do?

[frank notch]

ouija and PRAY its ace

[vestal copper]

if need money talisman if want to go nuts deja vu

[frank grove]

or just get money or more triggers on scholar

[still pike]

It hit 7's

[frank notch]

or safe rout is deja

[frank grove]

why would you ouija? 😭

[frank notch]

you should not have listened to me

[vestal copper]

never do ouija ever from now on

[gaunt sedge]

whats the best deck to use for a no reroll challenge

[vestal copper]

its f tier

[ebon condor]

anyone not saying talisman has no idea what they're talking abt

btw

[frank grove]

yeah money is probably the best thing there

[strange compass]

Take Bootstrap for -2 mult

[hollow birch]

doing a blue deck gold stake rn with no deck fixing yet, the tribe and nothing else at beginning of ante 2, you open up a pack and theres a foil jack, you take or just skip til seals/poly?

[frank grove]

depends

[hidden lance]

soulless pair spamming was vindicated by the savior obelisk

[vestal copper]

i prob wouldn't

[fringe nebula]

talisman/red seal

[frank notch]

probably. it gives chips and if you get lucky with drawing it gives great mult

[ebon condor]

if you need the chips really badly then maybe but otherwise dont dexkbloat

[balmy flame]

just won plasma deck

[sage bough]

Now do it on Gold Stake

[balmy flame]

🔫

[vestal copper]

no chips full houses huh

[balmy flame]

level 5 full house, reliant entirely on xmult

[hollow birch]

yeah I can't tell, I like both choices

would be nice to be able to death, but would also be nice to find the purple seal easier

[still pike]

Holy 7's

[hidden lance]

grim is super underrated ngl

[spark kernel]

The riff raff just generated a polychrome

[still pike]

I've got my first negative from a riff-raff yesterday (I've gotten negatives not from riff-raff)

[south flower]

Am I a fake fan if I don't like gold chip?

[balmy flame]

woah

thats cool

[sage bough]

Starting off my first Orange Stake run on Blue Deck

[cloud sinew]

same odds as negative

[sage bough]

I'm starting with an Eternal Holographic Fortune Teller

[hollow birch]

Is it possible for erratic to give 0 of a specific numbered card?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[stark charm]

Is there mod that add more challenge?

[hollow birch]

interesting

[cloud sinew]

#⚙・modding-general but yes

[stark charm]

Cryptid challenge is really not that interesting

[still pike]

Ima go play some chess I'll play balatro later

[cloud sinew]

balatro balatrez

[sage bough]

Eternal Hplographic Fortune Teller and Photograph

[spark kernel]

Lucky run

[sage bough]

I just got Foil Odd Todd as well

This ain't a bad run so far

[umbral coyote]

yo will naninf brick my save idk if I should hit this 😭

[exotic mica]

nanners from riffraff 🥹

[shell dagger]

this won’t naneinf so ure good

[rugged bloom]

Deja Vu in the Arcana Park

[shell dagger]

you need 55 red seal gold cards held in hand to naneinf with this setup

[exotic mica]

how can naninf brick a save?

[desert pebble]

it just resets your highest scored hand in the stats so no

[shell dagger]

you’ll only score about e240 here or so

[rugged bloom]

do it with steel kings

not gold

Gold doesn't get you score

[exotic mica]

nanners lasted ONE HAND

[shell dagger]

won’t brick the entire save file but it’ll make the run inaccessible if you quit out after naneinfing

[sterile zealot]

What’s the move here

[exotic mica]

would hold r work to just restart the run?

[sterile zealot]

(I’m playing pairs btw)

[shell dagger]

sell blue joker for spaceman

[sage bough]

Dawg I need another xmult Joker

[inner plover]

Ok cool balatro I guess ill take that natural negative invisible joker

[umbral coyote]

But it gets me money and I wanna go for ante 39

So I’m not converting to steel just yet

[sage bough]

Phooey

IT WOULDN'T GIVE ME AN XMULT JOKER

[shell dagger]

what’s the plan for ante 39

[umbral coyote]

How much to beat ante 32

[shell dagger]

did you bean bug?

e180

[umbral coyote]

DAMN BRO

[inner plover]

Anyways random screenshot

[sage bough]

This Orange Stake shit too hard I'm going to another deck

[exotic mica]

i love canio

[sage bough]

Bro I have every Voucher unlocked but I can't get lucky enough to buy them

[spark kernel]

That was really close

[inner plover]

Canio with 3 brainstorms hit very good

[exotic mica]

mmmmm

[sterile zealot]

What do yall think of supernova

[exotic mica]

i had canio at 7x this morning but violet killed me

[quartz sail]

Anyone spare a dollar, I might be short

[rugged bloom]

That's true, but it won't naneinf you

[sage bough]

If I cannot beat Ante 1 Small Blind with 1 hand I'm restarting the run

[calm sapphire]

bean bug is enough no plan needed

[rugged bloom]

Ante 15 or so is when you need to pivot

[sage bough]

I'm that petty

[inner plover]

Here's a dollar 💵

[rugged bloom]

Here's a Toonie 🪙

[sage bough]

I GOT GROS MICHAEL SHOP 1 AND IT WENT EXTINCT THE FIRST BIG BLIND

[south flower]

Can you win a Balatro run by only playing 6 and 7?

[sage bough]

Yes

Probably I don't care

[patent sail]

Good

Cavendish

[patent sail]

Pairs win right about anything

[exotic pike]

canio

[patent sail]

So you can make pairs with just thise

[south flower]

67 isn't a pair

Even though it should

[patent sail]

But theres more 6s and 7s in the deck

[exotic mica]

negative throwback looks pretty cool

[patent sail]

Shame that its ass as a joker

[exotic mica]

im scaling it pretty well

[sage bough]

If you skip a lot it's pretty good

[hidden lance]

accidentally reset my obelisk

[patent sail]

If you wanna do 6s AND 7s you can do 2 pairs and full houses

[patent sail]

Well thats the problem

Skipping a lot is bad

On white you can maybe but on higher stakes its scary

[wanton breach]

skipping a lot is either no endless or you die during the skip

[hidden lance]

the deck was cool tho

[patent sail]

I still take negative tags (i like gambling, i know its bad) and ante 1-2 investment tags

[quartz sail]

6/7 seems like the worst numbers, just out of hack range but without any dedicated cards like 8 ball and cloud 9 ( not great but it’s something)

[wanton breach]

correct. never skip on gold stake unless you can handle the consequences

[patent sail]

6 sixth sense and even steven

[sage bough]

Holographic Even Steven

[patent sail]

7 yeah only odd todd

[maiden peak]

It’s kinda weird how 7 is normally associated with being a lucky number but there isn’t a joker capitalizing on that

[quartz sail]

I always seem to forget 6th sense. Apologies to number 6

[patent sail]

7 of diamonds is the worst card

[hidden lance]

disrespecting 31 chips is not wise

[sage bough]

Hop off 7 of diamonds

[wanton breach]

it's emphasizing that there is no luck in balatro

[sage bough]

Make a new Joker that gives you ×7 mult if you play 7 of diamonds just to spite that one guy

[wanton breach]

yogurt

[patent sail]

Not really disrespecting it, its more so that theres no dedicated joker to 7s

Every rank has a dedicated joker of some sort but not 7s

[exotic pike]

if i lose it all slip and fall

[exotic pike]

lucky 7s coming soon

[patent sail]

Well as of now theres none so

[wanton breach]

even oops is all sixes

[maiden peak]

Yo

[random ice]

I got that Psychic will kill my run build

[noble shuttle]

Woooo my 7th gold stake!

[quartz sail]

New joker ‘jackpot’. Picture a slot machine with three jimbo. Effect: play exactly three 7s and gain 777 chips

[random ice]

LMAO LOOK WHO SHOWED UP

[maiden peak]

[patent sail]

I mean think about it, diamonds have the worst of gemstone jokers and 7s are the synergy-less rank

[pine drum]

no directors cut?

[sage bough]

YOU'RE 7

7 is cool man

It's lucky

[patent sail]

But objectively they dont have any synergy as of now

[quartz sail]

Rough diamond I can see for an all in cash build, bootstrap bull combo

[sage bough]

They should like make Lucky cards better when they 7

[wanton breach]

damn

farm red card?

[patent sail]

They arent bad, they are just worse than the rest due to lack of synergies

[random ice]

I tried it got me

Lmao that's what you get

[wanton breach]

can't even have a fun strat in balatro

[patent sail]

Fuck you psychic i wish i was literate to know what it does

[sleek valley]

What deck should I do next?

[patent sail]

Which have you done

[exotic pike]

7 of diamonds joker
give x7 mult for every 7 of diamonds scored

1 in 7 chance to give ^7 mult

[still pike]

Guys read off-topic

[wanton breach]

judging by your profile picture, black deck

[sleek valley]

I don't see the connection

[robust lance]

No

[exotic mica]

top up just gave me three jokers?

[sleek valley]

Was one of them rif raf?

[patent sail]

Did you have or get riff raff maybe

[exotic mica]

nope

[wanton breach]

black deck(gold stake) is the hardest deck in balatro, only for tuff man like you

[exotic mica]

i had tribe and sixth, it gave me shoot the moon, to do, and gros

and doesnt rif raf trigger when the blind is selected?

[patent sail]

Then idk how that happened

[exotic mica]

weird

[wanton breach]

must have joker slot

[ionic violet]

so you don't get the switch 2 edition for free if you spent more for the physical edition?? wtf

[patent sail]

You gotta buy all editions separately

[ionic violet]

it's a free upgrade for digital owners though

why isn't it an upgrade pack like every other switch 2 edition (excluding sonic x shadow generations, where people Also complained about this)

[patent sail]

Well you gotta bring that one to the thunk himself

[ionic violet]

fuck it im breakin out the email

[patent sail]

He appears in #🎙・server-chat sometimes

Or maybe someone else knows better iunno certainly not me

[maiden peak]

The publisher guy was here a few hours ago and said that there was some backend issues and Nintendo didn’t make it easier

[ionic violet]

dang

[maiden peak]

At the end of the day if there will be a save transfer feature then it will be fine

[weary whale]

This may sound crazy, but I wonder if Baseball Joker was inspired by Jerma’s Baseball stream

[twin lantern]

I'm doing my second save

Just unlocking stuff

[robust lance]

Stretch

[twin lantern]

And man it is so weird Hanging Chad is not unlocked from the get go

[robust lance]

It’s just a joker if he was a baseball player

[signal brook]

Balatro

[rugged bloom]

"Just throw your cards and fuck off" aah setup

[signal brook]

New hand type called a Balatro thats just 5 aces of spades

[robust lance]

“Take your shit and GO AWAY!”

[frank notch]

that would be hell for unlocking astronomer

[signal brook]

Good.

[cloud sinew]

i dont think this is really a solid connection

[balmy flame]

beat 15 minute city with face build

[rugged bloom]

Should I pivot into Bull for a while

[ionic violet]

email sent

[tulip sapphire]

should i just crash out?

[robust lance]

All in on throwback.

[tulip sapphire]

i was scoring a solid 900k per hand

[rugged bloom]

Throws it back

[signal brook]

AHH

WOOOOOO

YEAY

[rugged bloom]

But what goes

[maiden peak]

Getting a trib in a eternal bus stop run is crazy work

[signal brook]

Negative throwback is epic tho

[robust lance]

ZAMN!

[rugged bloom]

:3

[cloud sinew]

15 minute city starts with 24 face cards in deck

[balmy flame]

ngl i thought it was gonna be joever till the chad showed up

[rugged bloom]

What goes for the 452 chips bull?

[cloud sinew]

rocket

[rugged bloom]

:(

sadge

But understandable

[maiden peak]

Didn’t know that

[signal brook]

All in on throwback

Ankh it

[rugged bloom]

It was a lot of money

[rugged bloom]

this is a naneinf push

[robust lance]

Oh.

Nevermind

[signal brook]

First naneinf with a throwback??

[robust lance]

Stop throwing it back

[rugged bloom]

Definitely

[rugged bloom]

Continues throwing it back

[signal brook]

Peak

[robust lance]

WHAT!!!

[wanton breach]

yes its that crazy

[maiden peak]

I wonder if naninf would be kept in the new update or will just make sure that it doesn’t crash the save

[cloud sinew]

naneinf will be kept

[spring granite]

golden flames instead of the bugged ones

[rugged bloom]

naneinf isn't something that can be removed that easily

[errant bolt]

Got a 200 mill hand with a bloodstone/seltzer/chad setup

I really think bloodstone good with retriggers

[frank grove]

but it is going to be slightly harder to pull off as consistantly

because of the serp change

[cloud sinew]

and chicot bug removed

and crimson bug removed

[spring granite]

perkeolator?

[frank grove]

yeah

perkeo will still be able to do it

[rugged bloom]

It has to do with the way IEEE-754 displays numbers

[rugged bloom]

Nooooooooooo

[frank grove]

its just about having the stuff to survive long enough to do it

[rugged bloom]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[cloud sinew]

but localthunk will not remove naneinf

[rugged bloom]

can he even remove it?

[patent sail]

Whats the change

[cloud sinew]

well yes

[maiden peak]

You mean the one where it reverses the boss blind?

[signal brook]

April fools 2026 makes every joker a slight reskin of throwback

[cloud sinew]

talisman does it just fine

[rugged bloom]

Yaoi hands bug going away :(

[frank grove]

Idk how to word it but like it can only draw max 3 cards from deck, so if you discard one it draws one, if you discard 4 it draws 3 i thinkk

[robust lance]

Best April fools ever

[signal brook]

Real

[rugged bloom]

Noooooooooooooooo

Can you even naneinf then

[patent sail]

Oh i get it yeah thats what i thought it woulf be

[spring granite]

throwback literally throws you back in time every time it scales so you just can't use it

[cloud sinew]

cryptids

[frank grove]

yeah

[rugged bloom]

That's the only way then?

That's boring :(

[patent sail]

Why is thunk even removing the chicot bug

[frank grove]

past 1.1 probably

[spring granite]

also Mime end of round abuse getting removed?

[frank grove]

it was indirect

[rugged bloom]

I'm gonna fucking naneinf with the stuntman

[signal brook]

Throwback x hologram would look so epic 🔥 🔥

[spring granite]

quick time thing doesn't really fit in with the rest of the gameplay

[frank grove]

he didnt mean to but fixing some other bug caused the chicot bug to get fixed, same with the crimson bug

[spring granite]

how many do you need

[rugged bloom]

Nooooooooooooo

[spring granite]

theoretically

[patent sail]

That seems like patching a bug that speedrunners use, its a fun one that almost feels like a feature

[rugged bloom]

Well if you do it the regular way

on the order of e154 stuntmen

[spark canyon]

5th gold stake deck

[rugged bloom]

But if you do it the way Doc Spectered did

Then you only need about 200 ankhs or so

[rugged bloom]

So nice

[maiden peak]

I agree
For you to use it you kinda need to get out of your way

[patent sail]

Making the vessel tiny is funny

[frank grove]

the chicot bug kinda feels like a feature i hope that somehow gets brought back because it requires a legendary anyway

[rugged bloom]

I want the Chicot, Crimson Bean, Mime end of Round, and Serpent bugs to stay

[frank grove]

but the crimson one is a little easy to do

[maiden peak]

Yeah crimson one should be fixed

[cloud sinew]

"I don't really want to patch out the wacky fun bugs but they're also bugs, and sometimes they affect other things, like new content"

[frank grove]

yeah

[patent sail]

Thats so sad can we get +1 hand size

[spring granite]

serpent is bugged?

[rugged bloom]

Technically not a bug

[spring granite]

didn't think it was

[rugged bloom]

but the way it's working is allegedly being changed

[frank grove]

it is being changed in 1.1

[patent sail]

Not a bug, its just working as intended

[spring granite]

yeah it's not really much of a boss blind

[cloud sinew]

it has been confirmed to be changed

[patent sail]

MATADORHELL YEA

[rotund igloo]

Nice!

[spring granite]

i think the one time I've had any build slightly struggle with it was blackboard getting curbed

that's pretty much it, otherwise it always helps

[young solar]

Jolly Joker gives +16 mult if you play a Two Pair, yes?

[rugged bloom]

:(((((((((((

[cloud sinew]

no

[maiden peak]

[frank grove]

jolly is 8 mult on pairs

[spring granite]

should fr

[rugged bloom]

Jolly Joker is +8 on pairs

[quaint bloom]

is there a purpose to upgrade from switch 1 to switch 2 version of balatro?
i notice it didn't keep my C++, and i can't tell if it looks different

[cloud sinew]

it's not "for every pair", it's just "if played hand contains a pair"

[cloud sinew]

mouse controls

[spring granite]

it contains 2 of them

[young solar]

thats what i was wondering, thanks

[flat eagle]

random but any word on save data transfer from switch 1 version of balatro to switch 2??

[maiden peak]

Mouse controls and higher resolution
It seems to be native in portable and at least 1440p in tv mode

[frank grove]

whenever we get save data sync elsewhere i would expect it would come to switch 1 saves to switch 2 version saves too

[maiden peak]

They’re are working on it

[cloud sinew]

if, not when.

it's not explicitly a planned feature anymore

[frank grove]

oooh

i didnt know

[cloud sinew]

it used to be stated as a planned feature on the balatro FAQ

but its not there anymore

[frank grove]

i thought it was stilled planned from like 2 years ago

[rugged bloom]

So the only way to reliably naneinf is gonna be Perkeo cryptid?

[cloud sinew]

pretty much

[maiden peak]

I mean logistically it makes sense
And unlock all is a good enough workaround

[frank notch]

will they ever add multiplayer features (like challenge deck sharing)

[cloud sinew]

no idea, probably not though

[frank grove]

thunk did say that there might be new stuff that makes naneinf possible other than perkeo but for now thats probably the only way we know of wehn 1.1 comes out

[rugged bloom]

:(

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[harsh relic]

is flower pot getting a buff?

[frank grove]

wilds are being changed somehow so maybe?

[rugged bloom]

Localthunk please keep baron mime still viable to naneinf please

Else I'll crode :(

[cloud sinew]

what

baron mime isnt being changed

at least not that we know of

[rugged bloom]

These changes are not gonna keep it viable enough to naneinf anymore

[frank grove]

yeah baron mime will still be able to naneinf just not with burglar and serp rolling probably

[maiden peak]

Baron mime nerf: Beta steel cards are back

[rugged bloom]

How is it gonna do it without that?

[frank grove]

perkeo and cryptids

[rugged bloom]

Perkeo/Obeservatory or Perkeo/Cryptid

[rugged bloom]

that's what I'm saying

[heavy heron]

am i cooked boys

is it joever

[rugged bloom]

you might win

[ebon condor]

so unseeded naneinf is gonna be pretty much dead then?

[cloud sinew]

the game isnt balanced around endless anyway

[maiden peak]

I mean naneinf isn’t exactly an intended mechanic

[frank grove]

pretty much

[maiden peak]

It’s just a funny coincidence

[ebon condor]

unless theres smthn new ofc

[heavy heron]

🙏

[frank grove]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

though it wouldnt be added with the intention of being for naneinf

[ebon condor]

well yeah ofc not

[heavy heron]

chips do be carrying me

[slow iris]

ride the bus naneinf in 1.1

[serene matrix]

This build is so good

[rugged bloom]

I mean fair enough but these changes aren't gonna affect the average gold stake run anyways are they?

[cloud sinew]

theyre not meant to be balance changes

theyre bug fixes

[frank grove]

no, but they do make the boss more interesting for ante 8 runs which is the point of the serp change

[ebon condor]

other than serpent buff, not really

[cloud sinew]

besides serpent ofc

serpent nerf is to make it not helpful anywhere near as much as it is now

as you cant draw above your handsize

[frank grove]

yeah it makes it an actual boss, sortof.

[knotty folio]

I think this might be the most broken run I’ve had so far. This might be the one I beat black deck

[terse dock]

I do feel like having bosses that can help you in certain situations is a good idea

[cloud sinew]

BARON!?

[rugged bloom]

:(((((

[cloud sinew]

WHAT IS BARON DOING TWIN

[rugged bloom]

Sadge

[terse dock]

The problem is that serpent almost always helps you

[knotty folio]

Good thing or misplay

[cloud sinew]

do you have 6 or more kings in hand twin

[knotty folio]

Idk the game well enough lol

[cloud sinew]

otherwise baron is worse than copying photograph

[knotty folio]

No I still only have 4 kings

[cloud sinew]

unless you have red seals ofc

[patent sail]

Bro thinks hes on the team

[maiden peak]

I mean like serpent is only annoying if you’re playing flush fives or what not

[cloud sinew]

then photograph is better

[wind pilot]

I love getting runs that let me do literally anything

[cloud sinew]

it's bad if you need to see more of your deck

[ember turtle]

would it be cool if black hole became more common

[cloud sinew]

which is mainly just for higher hands

[covert steeple]

Got a run with a Holographic Ride the Bus

[wind pilot]

I've already gold staked all the legendaries so I was like, gold stake sly joker or something bad

[covert steeple]

Somehow screwed it up

[knotty folio]

Holy shit

[patent sail]

Looks so cool but is sadly kinda useless

[wind pilot]

the best play was to not use invisible though

[ebon condor]

serpent killed an aj + photochad runni had once due to the limited decksearching

[knotty folio]

I swapped the BP to Photograph and got 500k in one hand

On a a pair

[wind pilot]

I could've snuck in one more gold stake

[wind pilot]

(the best hand)

[ember turtle]

true
i am more so talking about its chance of appearing being higher, i remember doc proposed it as an idea to make celestial packs better

[knotty folio]

Lmaooo

[maiden peak]

Have there been any confirmation on if Chad is getting changed?

[cloud sinew]

no

[wind pilot]

the funny thing is! matador worked here 😭

[frank grove]

matador is sooo nice

[patent sail]

Well yeah i know and absolutely agree, i just think its such a shame its so rare with not even being that useful

[knotty folio]

I always went with the 5 card hands

[cloud sinew]

"chad is honestly a problem too, but I don't have the heart to nerf" - localthunk

[knotty folio]

Maybe that’s why I always lost

[ember turtle]

yeah

what if chad triggered a random card twice instead of first card?

[rugged bloom]

Giga Chad too strong to be nerfed

[ember turtle]

maybe it would be horrible

[cloud sinew]

bad

just make it the first two once

[ember turtle]

that's how multiplayer did it

[patent sail]

Chad is fun keep him the way he is

[ebon condor]

are there like archives of the civil chat thing or is everything thunk said then just gone?

[ember turtle]

it's not bad tbh

[maiden peak]

I’d honestly just make Chad an uncommon and call it a day lmao

[cloud sinew]

gone

[ebon condor]

rip

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt change the balance

that changes how often it turns up

[frank grove]

it becoming an uncommon changes nothing

[slow iris]

baseball card value!!

[frank grove]

yeah

and it makes it even better !!

[ebon condor]

cant get a screenshot of him saying idol would be fine as rank only <3

[ember turtle]

chad isn't run defining as more rares are

[cloud sinew]

if there was a legendary that won the game instantly it would still be unbalanced even if it only turns up 1 in 35 runs

[knotty folio]

FINALLY

[ember turtle]

congratos

yay

[maiden peak]

I mean yeah but photochad is becoming far less common is the main thing
Chad is definitely the strongest part of that combo

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt really even change it that much

[maiden peak]

I suppose

[cloud sinew]

the best solution is to just rework chad

rather than to do a band-aid fix with rarity

[patent sail]

Keep himmm

He is fun idc
