[echo sphinx]

what do i go for

[drowsy rain]

Ascend to a higher plane of existence

[digital pewter]

ok but how do i flex on everyone while putting it in my display name

[delicate tide]

€

[eager summit]

almost just died

[digital pewter]

ngl i didn't even think this far ahead when i get c++ i might just stop playing

[eager summit]

forgot to switch dna and bloodstone

[drowsy rain]

C=MC2

[delicate tide]

Being fr usually you just use an exponent

There’s no symbol to signify ++ more than once

Don’t listen to # propaganda

[digital pewter]

what if people just put C# but then had the # be the number of times they did c++

[drowsy rain]

C3(PO)

[delicate tide]

That’s cool cause I’ve been active and today I’ve been informed that #=2 ++es

Js square the ++ it’s pretty clear

[drowsy rain]

C9

[eager summit]

the dna did its job

[bleak hemlock]

TWO DISCARDS AND NOT ONE FACE CARD

👏

[ornate token]

life feels good

[echo sphinx]

we're going to the stratosphere wiht this

[subtle drum]

DAMN

[echo sphinx]

h o w

[subtle drum]

probably 2 ankhs and an invis since they’re all eternal

[echo sphinx]

nevermind that 4 stencils are fighting over the 1 empty square
how

[eager summit]

well uh, what now

[ornate token]

yeah that

[subtle drum]

i knew it

[echo sphinx]

(whats is eternal)

[subtle drum]

ebk

[echo sphinx]

(havent played high blinds yet)

[subtle drum]

jokers that cannot be sold or destroyed, ever

[eager summit]

unsellable and undestroyable

[ornate token]

eternal invis joker with hex at the start of the run

[echo sphinx]

thats kinda strong ish

[subtle drum]

no

it’s bad

[ornate token]

i was kinda broke so my deck looks like this

[echo sphinx]

how often does it appear to be a bad trait

[vestal copper]

it can be bad it can be fucking insane

[eager summit]

it's bad unless you're doing madness or knife

[subtle drum]

it’s a disadvantage pretty much always

oh yeah forgot about those

lmao

good call

[vestal copper]

ankhs

[subtle drum]

i don’t think knife works with em tho cos it requires them to be destroyed unlike madness

[subtle drum]

that too

[eager summit]

eternal also makes hex a free poly

[ornate token]

now if i get one more ankh i can complete the thumbnail

[vestal copper]

hit that sixth sense

[eager summit]

no but

[subtle drum]

i gotta try sixth sense again

[ornate token]

yummy planets

[eager summit]

you can keep knife in the left since it doesn't destroy eternals

[vestal copper]

sixth sense dna

[subtle drum]

ohh right

so it can be multiplied

[eager summit]

yes

[subtle drum]

i see what u mean

[eager summit]

and iirc knife and madness can eat the same card

[echo sphinx]

noting down

eternal knife with madness would be the funniest run

[vestal copper]

not rlly

[eager summit]

yea

[echo sphinx]

buy jokers to send to incinerator

[eager summit]

the gluttonous seed

[subtle drum]

that would be weird lmao

[vestal copper]

5 madnesses

is the best

[subtle drum]

real

[eager summit]

best and funniest aren't the same thing

[ornate token]

stencil runs are so braindead

only thing that sucks is no econ

[cinder iris]

gold sticker on icecream, faceless, golden, and reserved parking all in 1 run, lfggggggg

[ornate token]

guys we did it

[cinder iris]

nothing quite like running anaglyph and never getting to skip

[dark cairn]

gift card gold stickered

134/150

im actually going to be stuck restarting for chicot and perkeo to finish c++

😒

[unreal topaz]

hell yeah

ice cream sticker is nice

[cinder iris]

i got lucky and was able to swap that in for stuntman at the right time

[unreal topaz]

you'll get them eventually

[cinder iris]

1095/1200 .....

[unreal topaz]

i would reccomend just trying to enjoy the game and not burn out

instead of resetting

[dark cairn]

i need to have an active goal in mind to enjoy the game

once i get c++ im probably not going to play as much

[echo sphinx]

waite a second what do i pick

highcardslop run

[unreal topaz]

a winstreak goal is decent

[dark cairn]

and the occasional times i do play after that will likely just be trying to get naneinf

[dark cairn]

never gonna happen

id break my keyboard

[cinder iris]

i never thought of counting it as just puree jokers, i have 24 left that need goldstickers outright

i never 100% anything but im going for it in balatro at a leisurely pace

[dark cairn]

my highest winstreak is 5

and that was from climbing to gold stake on ghost deck

[unreal topaz]

tbf when i go specifically for a winstreak i have to have a specific mindset

[dark cairn]

or was it plasma deck actually

i cant remember lol

i think it was plasma deck

[ornate token]

ditch dice for cetificate i think

[cinder iris]

i trash runs unless i one shot the small blind lol

[unreal topaz]

usually i just rotate through decks on gold stake with the goal of trying to slowly get better

[ornate token]

hologram benefits

[dark cairn]

like what?

[echo sphinx]

sounds good

[dark cairn]

i get pissed off over stupid losses already

if i try to reach a winstreak and fail at the end because of something out of my control im going to break something

[unreal topaz]

i dont really anymore, might be my geometry dash mindset helping

[unreal topaz]

i have to be in the mood to think about every single little decision and play a bit slower

[dark cairn]

i already do that

same thing ends up happening

either im allowed to play the game and i can coast by or at least barely scrape together a win

or i get punished for every single decision i make regardless of if its a good decision or bad decision

or not given a single source of scoring

[cinder iris]

it's what it's

[dark cairn]

yeah and id rather not deal with it by setting irrelevant winstreak goals

idk maybe ill start re enjoying gold stake again when im not constantly being forced to think about gold stickers

[unreal topaz]

idk i just kinda accept that every run theres some chance that I lose, I can't expect to win every time

[cinder iris]

yeah it is a slog

i got c+ in like, july lol

[unreal topaz]

i win most of the time but losses don't suprise me or piss me off anymore

[dark cairn]

ive died with perkeo on gold stake 3 fucking times

every time i get perkeo its a sign that the game is going to give me the most unimaginably shit RNG possible

[cinder iris]

it took me forever to get zany/wily done

looking forward to never having to take them ever again

[dark cairn]

i got both of the 3oak jokers done

im missing the two pair jokers and droll joker

[dark cairn]

got 1 from a negative tag and the other from a last shop ectoplasm

[unreal topaz]

what geometry dash has taught me is that is how you play worse

[ornate token]

ts run was fun while it lasted

[unreal topaz]

you gotta both accept that theres a chance you lose and analyze why every death happened

[dark cairn]

theres nothing really to analyze if i'm forced to skip director's cut because i desperately need money to reroll for/buy jokers to stay alive and then end up getting fucked on ante 8 by violet vessel

[unreal topaz]

and if you get tilted or tired of the game you would benefit from a break

[cinder iris]

250 hours of satisfactory usually does the trick

it did for me!

[trim stump]

pfftttt

[dark cairn]

when not every death is my fault it becomes hard for me to tell which are and which aren't

[unreal topaz]

there's probably more to analyze than that in any seed, like what caused you to not have early money and what caused you to not have money for shop rerolls later, what gambles should/shouldn't you have taken

[dark cairn]

and i'd rather not be gaslit by the game into me thinking i screwed up by making what is 99.9999% of the time the right decision to make and then getting screwed over for it

[glossy forge]

I love daggers sm

[dark cairn]

so every single time i die im supposed to go back and pick apart every single decision ive made in the entire run like i'm a detective trying to solve a murder

[unreal topaz]

so you should probably just take a break from balatro then

[unreal topaz]

thats what i do

[dark cairn]

Well sorry i'm here to play a card game not solve a murder

[unreal topaz]

i like solving puzzles

[dark cairn]

If i want to be a detective i'll go study to become one

[unreal topaz]

thats what i see it as

[unreal topaz]

this seems best tho

[dark cairn]

i do take breaks

[stone shell]

casual baron build plasma

[dark cairn]

but if i stopped playing the instant i start getting pissed off over a bad run then i would be only getting 1 gold sticker per week

[unreal topaz]

fair enough

c++ is mostly a test of patience

[unreal topaz]

common vagabond w

[stone shell]

e17

[unreal topaz]

3 rares gold stickered is insane for one run

[dark cairn]

random question for those here who play that balatrodle thing

whats your average guesses per win

im sitting at 4.7 rn

[stone shell]

yeah one of my classmates watched and my signature luck played

[unreal topaz]

lol real

when i stream gold stake runs in vcs i get at least one run with a glass+retrigger 4oak deck for some reason

last time i did i got a flush five of polychrome 4s with hack

i think its bc i more so go for what looks fun

[tight pike]

Daily Mandatory Obelisk Hate
I hate obelisk

[unreal topaz]

i love obelisk

it's so good

[dark cairn]

obelisk is good but i dont like it

[stone shell]

80% done: with C++ 🎉

[stone shell]

its so rare to see people who say this

[edgy whale]

ortalab

[dusty void]

Guys

I have a 3.5x madness with two photos I should take the chad right

It's not eternal though

[fringe nebula]

skip

madness won't kill if you skip to boss blinds

[dusty void]

I'm at the boss blind

[fringe nebula]

then take

[dusty void]

And sell the madness next round?

[fringe nebula]

skip until the next boss blind again (if you can beat it)

[dusty void]

Okay let me see

FUCKING BLUEPRINT

IT'S ETERNAL TOO HOLY

Surely I sell the madness

Or yeah I just skip

Hmmm

Varv what do I dooooo

[dusty void]

Varvvv

[fringe nebula]

??

[dusty void]

Do I sell the madnes

I got bp

[fringe nebula]

absolutely

[dusty void]

Alr thought so

Also this is bs

[fringe nebula]

or again, skip until ante 8 boss blind

[dusty void]

WHY DO I GET THIS SEED IN MY PS5 AND NOT MY PHONE

[fringe nebula]

if you can beat it

[dusty void]

Uhh I'm at ante 5

[fringe nebula]

oh sell madness then

[dusty void]

Yea alr

[fringe nebula]

you still have time to pivot

[dusty void]

I basically won

[fringe nebula]

and blueprint is better than x3.5 madness in this scenario

[dusty void]

Okay I can win

I scored 2.7m

[fringe nebula]

oh

find a justice btw

[dusty void]

Okay

Well I'm gonna have iftar now so I'll be back for this run later

[fringe nebula]

it's still 3:40 pm here

[dusty void]

7:40 here

[gilded hawk]

i try and greed 1 gold card 💔

[echo sphinx]

i wonder if this was worth it

[glossy forge]

I'm bored of gold streaking. I want to attempt Ante 39. On my last attempt I got choked by the ante 32 boss. Any recommended strategies?

[radiant fossil]

let's make some moneyyyy

[weak relic]

Death in ante 4

Oh wait

[dusty void]

Bro just slime me out

I fucking get

Double photo

Chad

BLUEPRINT

On GOLD STAKE

BLACK DECK

And it's not even on my main device

So yay!

I technically beat it!

But I can't get C+ unless I fucking DO IT AGAIN

[fringe nebula]

if you reroll hard and find some good jokers

then yes

[wanton breach]

congratulations

i get a similar joker on black deck, but with trib instead of double photo. i fucking die to the plant

[shell dagger]

Reset for perkeo, crimson bean or 2 useful natural negatives

Or a juggle tag

[radiant fossil]

pov: me taking green joker but also being a goldfish and forgetting im not supposed to discard

[crisp perch]

Oh my goodness

First reroll Uhm

And it’s a wild to trigger my club joker wow

[vestal copper]

oops all eternals

[wanton breach]

he even has ecto ready just in case

[dire crater]

oops all 2s

[dire crater]

baby joker going crazy

[fringe nebula]

a rare case where bonkler is actually catching up with red card's scaling

also, that constellation is natural neg

[vestal copper]

nat neg constellation is such a here, win find

[fringe nebula]

not really

$11 for nat neg constell is really expensive

i had to build up my econ

[dire crater]

I like riff raffs runs

[fringe nebula]

i think the blue joker is more here, win because i'm lacking chips

[crisp perch]

Y can’t this be a flush 🥀

[dapper zenith]

.....

[shell dagger]

Imagine you levelled up high card and played a pair, should that count as high card?

[fringe nebula]

4oak is "bigger" than flush so the game prioritizes that

[crisp perch]

I feel like the hand with more cards should be played first

[shell dagger]

The hand that is the highest rank is played first

[manic talon]

4oak is harder to get than flush

atleast in normal poker

[crisp perch]

U can just not play a flush in that case is the thing

[shell dagger]

You can still play a flush here though

[rocky tiger]

chat

+4 discards with paradolia double faceless

[bitter schooner]

Imagine 2 dice

[crisp perch]

Do it

Wait what would 2 dice even do

Who do I cut for cavendish?

[bitter schooner]

HOLY SJJJ

IT IS 2 DICE

[crisp perch]

Square is at 60

[bitter schooner]

LETS GOOOOO

[vestal copper]

are you all in luckys

[bitter schooner]

Yes

[vestal copper]

peak

[fringe nebula]

stuntman from judgement lmaooo

[bitter schooner]

Was this worth it chat

[bitter schooner]

Lets go eternal bp

[vestal copper]

[white flint]

what is this diddy blud shop

ofc plant

[eager summit]

the brothers

in the right order too

[glad smelt]

Anyone done golden stake green joker burglar?

[vagrant jungle]

Will post seed when i die

[fringe nebula]

died to needle

[bitter schooner]

Is this a good baron build?

[glad smelt]

Or is it bad

[fringe nebula]

yes?

i have done that

[vestal copper]

no your boned

[fringe nebula]

baron is good when you have big hand size

[bitter schooner]

Nah i'd win trust i'll hit all the 50/50

[fringe nebula]

far from bad

[vagrant jungle]

Natural negative blueprint from rare joker spectral card

[glad smelt]

Is green usable without burglar

[fringe nebula]

ofcourse

green is usable without burglar

[bitter schooner]

Hot dang

[fringe nebula]

just like any other scaling +mult

[radiant fossil]

bruh

the one run I play a face build...

no i couldnt find director's, no i couldnt find luchador

[digital pewter]

this late into the gold sticker farming and i hit three new ones?? absolutely fire

down to 31 left

[digital pewter]

yeah

you can get like $8 round 1 gold stake if you win in just one hand and don't discard

plus you don't need to worry about interest at all

you can get funky with credit card if you want

green deck vagabond credit card

[tame vale]

i got a brainstorm and blueprint in the same shop but i only have 16/20 dollars i need

[fringe nebula]

black debt is actually real?

[cloud sinew]

@serene forge

and i saw Head ante 1

[subtle drum]

ragebait

do it tho fr you have dice

[subtle drum]

for her not for me

[calm furnace]

such a bad joker smh should be deleted from the game 😔

[fringe nebula]

tragic story told within 2 screenshots

eternal credit card too

[vestal copper]

im sorry

[cloud sinew]

the scoring difference of 2 chips

was enough for me to lose btw

im so glad i did the math

[calm furnace]

why do you have eternal credit card

[fringe nebula]

because black deck

👍

[calm furnace]

and why do you take invisible joker

[fringe nebula]

because why not

i still won so it's fine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/694849009411555379.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[calm furnace]

there is a chance of a bad hit there

ecto + blackboard my new fav combo

[fringe nebula]

blackboard stuntmant my favorite combo

[calm furnace]

fr fr

[fervent pebble]

🤑

[vestal copper]

temperance

[ebon maple]

Tysm balatro

[fringe nebula]

i'm going to

can i have a +mult joker for ante 1 pleasee

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[calm furnace]

find runner
first draw 10, 9, 8, 7

discard everything, no 6 or J
play everything no 6 or J

lose

fuck this game

[patent sail]

thats why i hate straight builds ughhh

they be frustrating

[calm furnace]

some seeds are just not made for straights

[patent sail]

all MY builds are WOKE and asexual instead

[calm furnace]

runner is my fav chip joker but some seeds just punish you for playing right

now i could have just tried playing a flush, but when you see 4 cards that form a straight

the logical thing is to discard for a straight

[patent sail]

game just ragebaiting

[calm furnace]

and a single straight wins with a poly runner

[errant brook]

Mobile gold stake win. The plasma dream team

Not gonna lie, was nice to win with something completely different I’ve never done before

[stone shell]

lmao did you skip for foil

[errant brook]

I skipped so Stuntman wouldn’t die before final boss

I also skipped all of ante 8 so stuntman just got to live period

I found it at the start of ante 7

Stone joker was up to 700 chips lol

[calm furnace]

how did you get so many stone cards?

[patent sail]

stoning it up

death and tower?

cryptid even

[calm furnace]

700 chips is 28 stone cards right?

ah wait i didnt see the marble joker

[errant brook]

Early marble joker and a perishable brainstorm early

Also early uhhhh joker that makes face cards gold

So money to buy tarots plus all that. I don’t think I’ve ever actually used either of these jokers to win gold stake before, just bought them at the end for C++

[calm furnace]

love stone joker

love stone cards

[errant brook]

Balatro is fun when you’re not just doing photochad or mime baron

I need some other wonky strats to try and see if I can pull off

[calm furnace]

unless you playing white steak you aint gonna be doing mime baron

[errant brook]

Well lol

My latest goal is naneinf gold stake

[calm furnace]

white steak lol

i need to sleep

[errant brook]

I’ve done basically everything else

[calm furnace]

i gave up on naneinf

[errant brook]

Only thing I haven’t done is ante 39 unfiltered

[sterile zealot]

Boiled milk steak

[vestal copper]

⚪ 🥩

[errant brook]

Gold stake naneinf has only become feasible for me now that I’ve decided to only do runs that start with investment tag

As otherwise I’m too poor and just have to get stupidly lucky early

[calm furnace]

gold tsake naneinf is very seed dependant

[errant brook]

I had a decent one the other day but ectoplasm and antimatter didn’t exist

So I never was gonna do it

[calm furnace]

persihebles + eternals make it way harder

[errant brook]

Eternal not always

As eternal lets you ankh

[calm furnace]

you want flexibility with joker slots to naneinf

[errant brook]

Although I had a run earlier where I found an eternal baron early and was like hell yeah

[calm furnace]

the only joker you wanna ankh is eternal bp/bs

[manic talon]

sometimes this game makes combination so vile that you just have to play through it to see

[errant brook]

And then I ankh’d it on ante 1 and realized I just screwed up

[errant brook]

Yes you see what I did wrong lol

So later I’ll try again…probably

[digital pewter]

this run is simply absolute bullshit

[vestal copper]

gay bones 🔥

[errant brook]

How are you not dead here

Is constellation that high?

[manic talon]

its 3X

every hand is 100K thanks to lv 17 jupiter

[calm furnace]

why would they be dead

thats an insane joker combo

[patent sail]

mine are like that

[calm furnace]

castle on checkered deck is just nasty

[stone shell]

wait isnt this just lobotomy

[vestal copper]

polychromed irl

[stone shell]

ive been tricked

[manic talon]

i wouldnt say green and castle is an insane combo

[stone shell]

okay so i learned today that perishing happens before end of round effects

judgement you're on the right track but justtt not it

[digital pewter]

chat will blackboard still activate if the cards in your held hand are debuffed

[vestal copper]

i think yeah

[digital pewter]

okay it does

thank you

this bs is winning

popcorn gold stickered is a W

[dapper zenith]

2 WINS FROM C+

[fringe nebula]

director's cut from hell

[dapper zenith]

fieniiiing

[fringe nebula]

the moment i got photochad, i spent ALL of my money at ante 2 for the voucher

[dapper zenith]

I got temp photochjad, skipped to last ante as much as possible to get that win

[ebon condor]

reroll into the flint

actually youd prolly still be fine

[manic talon]

okay this one's pretty funny

[ebon condor]

tho realistically if youre playing photochad correctly you hypothetically should be fine into plant too but

[manic talon]

theres a justice, 3 uncs and a baseball, i think youre fine

[stone shell]

what the fuck 😭

[ebon condor]

damn gold stake run in endless mode

a15 too

[manic talon]

where mime

[stone shell]

yeah got a really lucky baron + vagabond + brainstorm start

[stone shell]

perished 😔

still looking for one

generational crashout WHY ARE YOU PERISHING

STOP DYING

[waxen dagger]

i have peaked

[strange abyss]

eggcellent

[stone shell]

mime sucks

[proper pollen]

a biiiit late

[glossy forge]

I GOT THE HEART AND THE BEAN. HOW DO I DO THIS HANDSIZE BUG?!

[weak relic]

Verdant in 8

[wanton breach]

now that's an expensive omelete

[tulip aurora]

Pretty sure you need to find bean the shop before you go into thr boss blind

Then pray it disables the bean first then sell the bean?

Maybe

Ive only seen it done

[shell dagger]

You don’t need to

That’s just how to get the strongest result

[tulip aurora]

Oh

[waxen dagger]

i am at +144 rn 😭 😭

[tulip aurora]

The fuck is this huild

[shell dagger]

If heart debuffs bean, quit out and rejoin the game

[tulip aurora]

No disrespect this IS the worst build I've ever witnessed

[shell dagger]

When debuff goes off bean, you’ll get the hand size

[wanton breach]

keep going

oh, maybe you'll have to eat those eggs next ante

[waxen dagger]

the joker next to it is 4x mul i incorportate a healthy balance of skipping and playing

[wanton breach]

idk if +mult really helps, but i guess it helps

[pastel hatch]

do yall have any tips for early game on black deck? i feel like i only win when the game hands me the victory

[wanton breach]

praying 🙏

[pastel hatch]

thats what i do

[proper pollen]

bro the one time I flush with something other than hearts

[wanton breach]

especially on gold stake run
you just pray a good draw, good shop, and good boss blinds

[pastel hatch]

well yah thats ibasically my gameplan, but like, im sure you can make it more consistent than just prayer

[olive fiber]

Oh best brainstorm ever

[strange abyss]

it all comes down to your discards giving you strong hands
or getting a strong early game joker

[wanton breach]

you don't

maybe Balatro University have some tips for black deck runs

hi Dont

[strange abyss]

Hello

[wanton breach]

you dont

me fareru two

[strange abyss]

If anyone could be consistent on black deck is doc

[strange abyss]

hello fareru2

[wanton breach]

hi dont

[strange abyss]

True, I, Dont

[wanton breach]

truth

[olive fiber]

This game sucks! I needed one more diamond and it never gave me it!!!

[strange abyss]

After gold staking black deck I can say it was the worst experience I've ever had

[vagrant plover]

Why would anyone pick this

[strange abyss]

Temperance

or swashbuckler

[vagrant plover]

oh shit

[mystic vale]

is it worth one joker slot tho

[strange abyss]

It would be useful econ in a madness joker run

[strange abyss]

Sometimes it could be

[pastel hatch]

can be

[pastel hatch]

hmm ive been trying to get all gold stickers on black deck and its been a journey

[fringe nebula]

pog shoot the moon pog

(perishable photograph exactly at 1 turn remaining)

[strange abyss]

that is pure pain
hows it going so far?

[mystic vale]

how do people progress past ante 9? like the required score rises so fast beyond ante 8, how do u scale by 10x 😭

[fringe nebula]

multiplication

only certain types of build can reach ante 17

[pastel hatch]

im at 68/150

my first page is basically empty

[vagrant wagon]

I just killed my good purple stake run in ante 7 😭😔

I‘m just mad at myself for that because i would have won if hadnt did that

[pastel hatch]

some pretty standard stuff here

[calm furnace]

depends if you got green first. with castle you can just discard until you have 150+ chips and be fine

[mystic vale]

would u guys say almost any run can reach ante 8 / 12 or is luck still needed? im new to the game

[pastel hatch]

on white stake?

[vagrant wagon]

My words 🙃

[stone shell]

on white stake anything can win

[shell dagger]

pretty much every run can score e20

at least

[pastel hatch]

on white stake im 99% sure every seed can reach ante 12

[vagrant wagon]

Huh fr?

[shell dagger]

on white stake you just get so much freedom to deckfix

[pastel hatch]

probably

[mystic vale]

ok so I need more skill

[shell dagger]

ye

[mystic vale]

damn

[calm furnace]

even on gold stake most seeds should get to ante 8

[pastel hatch]

its just MUCH harder lmao

[calm furnace]

maybe not all of them can beat VV

[mystic vale]

should I buy any jokers (unless really good) before hitting 25$?

[shell dagger]

yes

[calm furnace]

way harder for sure, but mathmatically its possible as proven by doc and other top players

[shell dagger]

buy what you need to survive

[vagrant wagon]

For me it took my 40-50h to really understand the games Math and Stats and how to win on the stakes so no stress on winning just have fun and learn by doing 😊

90h for that or so

[echo sphinx]

:thonk:

totally not op

(its probably the most broken thing ive seen)

[mystic vale]

I already have 40h on the game 😭😭
I fell for the flush fallacy tho 😔

[vagrant wagon]

Same and now i‘m learning on playing full house and above so you get used to it

It needs time

[pastel hatch]

tbh i dislike chicot

its like ok

[stone shell]

lowk i could see thunk reworking chicot

[patent sail]

chat i got a situation when the plant is good

[echo sphinx]

no shot yall believing this

[patent sail]

its debuffing my faces letting me play better hands without risking resetting my double RTB

[latent egret]

its possible because the joker is not fun

[pastel hatch]

wait till you see luchador

[latent egret]

it just makes the game have less game

[echo sphinx]

ok but it wins a run

[latent egret]

i don’t see how that is a point against my argument

[strange compass]

Who told me that chips are enough to beat plasma deck stakes 💔

[mystic vale]

do people use campfire btw

[echo sphinx]

plain joker is literally +4 mult

[stone shell]

yes

[echo sphinx]

not every joker needs to be flashy

[latent egret]

its not flashy its not fun

[patent sail]

if there was a joker that instantly wins the game, would that be a good joker? i mean, by that logic, it wins a run

[stone shell]

chicot is a legendary its kinda like

forced to be at least either fun or flashy

[latent egret]

it is very good
not very fun at all

[pastel hatch]

its really good

[patent sail]

the hologram/constellation joke isnt applicable here

[mystic vale]

so u just buy and sell jokers or what

[strange compass]

Are you not supposed to upgrade planets when you're doing plasma deck?

[echo sphinx]

its aight

[patent sail]

consumables too

[stone shell]

also you're comparing a joker you see in like a third your runs to an extremely rare occurance

[stone shell]

consumables also work

[red thistle]

Look at her, fabulous.

[shell dagger]

planets are no1 priority imo

chip scalers don’t appear early every run

[patent sail]

i like your creature

[strange compass]

I was using flushes and I think there was a time where I scored less after upgrading my planet

[echo sphinx]

ill just pick a more difficult joker

(or worse)

[strange compass]

Plasma is so confusing to me

[shell dagger]

well it clearly wasn’t the planet that caused you to score less

that doesn’t make any sense

[mystic vale]

plasma deck seems really op to me

[pastel hatch]

it is

you just have to play differently

[patent sail]

immolate had ONE job and it missed literally all the faces in the drawn hand that i wanted to kill

[strange compass]

Like

You're supposed to keep your chip and mult as far as possible right

[pastel hatch]

it depends

but like

chips are usually enough to win the game if you have a bunch of jokers/planets

[strange compass]

I had a pretty solid chip joker build and I lost. I was getting to 1k chips and it scored like 250k to 300k ish

Actually probably higher than 300k

[pastel hatch]

if you score 300k you dont lose unless youre on high stake and cant play the hand relatively consistently

[sage bough]

Help me game discussion I want the Gold Ticket

[stone shell]

jimbo

[sage bough]

But he's my only other mult 😔

[mystic vale]

(unless plasma) should I basically always have one xmult, one scaling xmult, one +mult, one chips and one money/other? or does it not really matter or smrh

[patent sail]

this is most optimal i guess yea

but its not required

[ebon maple]

4 stakes to go

[pastel hatch]

i mean it depends, there isnt really a fixed end build

[patent sail]

ive had some scuffed ass runs won without xmult

[pastel hatch]

unless youre going for high score

[ebon maple]

Black deck below blue stake is kinda funny

[pastel hatch]

black deck is very fun in general

[ebon maple]

I would guess it aint funny on gold stake

But i can not speak on that

[pastel hatch]

it is

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah it is but blue stake is a bit harder than the other ones below for me at least

[unreal topaz]

well it has like 3 jobs there actually, it did at least 2 good things

[patent sail]

dawg im gonna die at the final blind ts is so sad

i barely lived big blind with 300k and shop gave me nothinh

[unreal topaz]

ehhhh starting purple stake the final boss of plasma is 800k, or 2.4 million if you get violet vessel

[sage bough]

Foil Photograph

Bro I gotta take him

[unreal topaz]

2.4 million points is no joke

[patent sail]

okay well it gave me flower pot

as much as i hate it i woulf happily take it if i coulf make it work

[unreal island]

Im rich!!!!

[unreal topaz]

just chips can rarely get the job done there

[unreal island]

Also three polychrome wheels

Chaos was a natpoly

[patent sail]

so lets imagine the world in which i take this flower pot to live, what goes

misprint?

[unreal island]

+mult foil trooper

[vagrant wagon]

So i go try a new run on plasma purple stake bye

[unreal topaz]

what hand u playing? parking is the weakest link anyway, holding that in ante 8 seems greedy

[patent sail]

im playing random garbage dawg

pair-hc

maybe better if game is generous

[patent sail]

parking i dont care about, i want the flower pot

[viral raft]

Dies at ante 2-3*

[unreal topaz]

well flowerpot doesnt work then

[abstract grotto]

holy ante 4 setup (just beat ante 3 boss)

[pastel hatch]

doesnt matter as long as i have fun

[strange compass]

Should I play all the clubs together or one by one?

[patent sail]

well i do get full hpuses sometimes and perhaps i can make that work

[abstract grotto]

OMG WHAT SAME SHOP LMAO

[viral raft]

One by one

[patent sail]

im just desperate, my best is 311k with all hands used

[strange compass]

Thank

[abstract grotto]

sell trib cuz photochad

[patent sail]

id imagine i kill misprint

[viral raft]

Matador only triggers once per hand played

[foggy iron]

Good morning chat, i just did ROI, ggs
All it took was 24 restarts, 1 hieroglyph, two skips and yellow deck

[viral raft]

You can minmax

Try to use one club each hand and basically free money

Alot of free money

Then sell matador because it sucks

[echo sphinx]

holy

[patent sail]

man im barely not getting what it takes to trigger flower pot

i hate this game so much

[vagrant wagon]

Fr now negativ throwback

[echo sphinx]

rip

[foggy iron]

Flower pot sucks, that's why
Not your fault 😔

[echo sphinx]

blame the joker

[patent sail]

i was desperate, i kmow its ass

okay yeah bell chose the king my rtb is dead anyway

ill hold R

flower pot had ONE opportunity to prove itself to be useful and it fumbled so bad

[mystic vale]

is joker stencil good sometimes or should I actually get jokers lol

[patent sail]

if its eternal and you can ankh it up why not

[unreal topaz]

i wouldn't count on it

[patent sail]

yeah i died

but it was worth a shot, without it i would die too

[unreal topaz]

it can be good enough, i wouldn't call it strong but it can get the job done

when i use it i often think of it as perishable xmult

and just use it while i need it it till i find something better

[unreal topaz]

fair

[unreal topaz]

and retcon means you basically can't lose

[abstract grotto]

i also got a couple red seal queens

so many deaths in this seed

[unreal topaz]

mail in rebate moment

i mean when you have rebate, blueprint and brainstorm you see a lot of tarot cards

[vagrant wagon]

This fricking needle man

[unreal topaz]

quite a few more than usual anyway

just from shop rerolls

zodiac deck helps too

[pastel hatch]

right, i forgor baron mime has one issue

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah

[pastel hatch]

i havent tried for high score in a loooomg while so yeah

[foggy iron]

Chat, look! I got shortcut! Straights go brr?

[vagrant wagon]

Should I stay with obelisk no right

[patent sail]

it may become the engine of the xmult pivot in the late game idk

why sell it anyway

[simple radish]

hey i have something to bring to thunk's attention

[patent sail]

just let it sit until you find something better

[simple radish]

i think someone has tried to like

[vagrant wagon]

Ok

[simple radish]

make balatro available without paying through steam

[abstract grotto]

found the dusk and hit poly blue joker

[simple radish]

is balatro.co an official playsite for balatro?

[patent sail]

ah sure

[unreal topaz]

dagger might be a bit expensive, but boy does it scale fast

[patent sail]

what

no i think???

[simple radish]

https://www.balatro.co/?page=1

[patent sail]

what is he talking about

[simple radish]

then this person is causing legal issues

[foggy iron]

No way

[viral raft]

Wtf is this

[foggy iron]

Trib on a photochad run

[viral raft]

😭

[foggy iron]

Ggs?

[pastel hatch]

so youve decided to share their work in a public setting?

[patent sail]

what IS this

[simple radish]

it's called making the moderation team aware of the issue

[cursive lion]

Not the sound effects

[vagrant wagon]

Should I take an negativ eternal shoot the moon?

[cursive lion]

I mean it’s negative

[simple radish]

so you've decided to not read all the messages saying i'm letting staff know?

[patent sail]

why not take a negative

its funny

[pastel hatch]

mod mail exists

[vagrant wagon]

Ok true

[patent sail]

theres mod mail

[cursive lion]

The only reason not to is if you don’t have enough money

[cloud sinew]

email playstack, mods here dont work for playstack*
-# smithbodie is the community manager for playstack, but dont DM smithbodie

[simple radish]

i already sent it through mod mail

[cloud sinew]

THEY DONT

[simple radish]

it's called "i already sent it through mod mail"

[vagrant wagon]

Its in a buffoon pack

[cloud sinew]

WORK FOR PLAYSTACK

[pastel hatch]

then wait

[cursive lion]

It’s nat negative take it

[patent sail]

they instead work for thunk himself and will personally kill whoever made that ripoff

[vagrant wagon]

Nat negative?

[cloud sinew]

natural

[cursive lion]

It’s naturally a negative so I mean there isn't a drawback

[simple radish]

you could just.....ignore my messages....that'd be alot easier than worrying this much about something you aren't involved in-

[patent sail]

if theres nothing better in ghe pack

if theres something more helpful choose it instead

[vagrant wagon]

Ok i should learn the shortcuts for some of the things 😅

[pastel hatch]

im not worrying i just find it funny how you decided to share something you think can cause legal issues

[cloud sinew]

You are annoying people and it isnt helping anything

[vagrant wagon]

What is THIS Shop

[pastel hatch]

abandoned deck is pretty insane huh, so much deckfixing already done

[patent sail]

free rtb

[vagrant wagon]

?

[patent sail]

ride the bus

[cursive lion]

I appreciate you being a good Samaritan, but please contact Playstack since it is a legal issue https://www.playstack.com/contact/

[patent sail]

mail in rebate

[simple radish]

i'm sorry who are you

[atomic trout]

Can't. The king entered

[pastel hatch]

ngl i havent really been looking at dna at all

[cursive lion]

I am the otter man

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[patent sail]

but who are YOU as well

[vagrant wagon]

Ok

[simple radish]

not a member of balatro staff 💀 or someone who can contact them

[vagrant wagon]

Should i take Dna and Sock?

[pastel hatch]

like that joker is so specific for it to be good

[simple radish]

that's why i sent it so that it can be mass reported but we don't understand that here-

[pastel hatch]

imo skip

[cursive lion]

What do you mean you can’t contact them?

[patent sail]

contact ones who are directly responsible for balatro IP dawg

[cursive lion]

Are you like under eighteen?

[simple radish]

you can 🥰 so please do

[patent sail]

we even tolf you how to

[foggy iron]

Okay, so
I just finished the egg challenge and i must say
Straight sock trib run really helped 😭

[lapis lion]

hear me out what if there was a legendary joker that guarantees to be in shop if cavendish goes extinct and can't be spawned by soul (unless cavendish goes extinct)

[simple radish]

i'm 22, but way to assume that because i simply sent a link to be mass reported you assume i'm a child

[patent sail]

never getting that c++

[foggy iron]

Verdant leaf tried to kill me

But i told Photo to phuck off lmao

[cursive lion]

I didn't assume you were below eighteen, I was asking why you can’t contact Playstack

[vagrant wagon]

I just took the Judgement in the arcana pack 🤣😅

[foggy iron]

Judgement is such a good tarot
It often saves my runs

[patent sail]

wouldnt do sock anyway, look for chips

[lapis lion]

negative sly joker saves the day once again

[foggy iron]

Good pick

[pastel hatch]

dna can be ok if you got some red seal queens to dupe, otherwise id rather make your deck smaller, as for sock i assume youll probably work towards shoot the moon value and keep your face cards in hand so its value is not that big

[cursive lion]

Like outside of being underage, in good faith, there isn't a reason why you can’t LEGALLY contact Playstack

[pastel hatch]

well with card its probably worth to take sock

[patent sail]

they aint even gonna be that good, its plasma

[cursive lion]

Is there something else you want to tell us?

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah I just need trading card or hung man

[patent sail]

dupe red seal foil bonus cards i guess idfk

[lapis lion]

what if there was a boss that limited your selection limit to 4 or 3 for like ante 8

[pastel hatch]

i mean its not like its gonna be bad either

[shell dagger]

absolutely not

[cursive lion]

Maybe for discarding

[lapis lion]

High card decks though...

[patent sail]

so essentially new serpent

[vestal copper]

pairslop stays winning

[shell dagger]

high card and pair is already meta

[pastel hatch]

lets punish already worse playstyle

[patent sail]

i was meant to reply to this

my bad

[shell dagger]

why would you ever do a straight build now if you just have a 1/6 chance to completely die

[lapis lion]

why even have it for discards

[patent sail]

yeah no yhay idea isnt that good

[lapis lion]

isn't that just the water

sets discards to 0

it's just a easier water

[patent sail]

ehat is she talking about

[lapis lion]

card reflection limit of 3 for discards

[patent sail]

we are NOT hearing you out im sorry

[lapis lion]

hear me out

brainstorm

🥺

[patent sail]

that already exists sorry

[lapis lion]

wow really

[patent sail]

brains have been stormed already sorry

[lapis lion]

hear me out a game named joker poker

it's like playing poker hands and you gain chips and you can upgrade your cards after every blind

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[patent sail]

what if chips were multiplied by Mult

[lapis lion]

Hear me out.. mult that multiplies mult

[patent sail]

seems overpowered idk

[lapis lion]

we can call it like xMult or something

[urban sun]

exponential mult

[vestal copper]

psychic but every card must be scoring isnt that a great idea 🧌

[cursive lion]

And y’know those Joker cards in a standard card deck that don’t really do anything

[lapis lion]

Yeah

[abstract oyster]

Me too

[patent sail]

what if we called them "Jimbos"

[lapis lion]

what if you let them give like mult and stuff

[cursive lion]

We should do something about that like five them something to do

Yes yes and I have a crazy idea

What if…

Major arcana cards

[patent sail]

what if we added planet cards

[lapis lion]

Some jokers should just be genuinely less useful for most decks but be good for deck

[lapis lion]

What do they do?

[patent sail]

what we should NOT do is add a flower pot

[cursive lion]

Upgrade the base chips and mult

[lapis lion]

why not

make it like

[vestal copper]

what if they made your hand score more

[manic talon]

sheet suggestion type conversation

[lapis lion]

give mult mult if the played hand has every single suit

[patent sail]

so what if there was a joker

[lapis lion]

wait guys hear me out

[cursive lion]

Balatro players discovering fire for the first time

[night turret]

They are talking to me

[lapis lion]

what if we made a joker which

copied other jokers

[vestal copper]

what if there were legendary jokers based around real life famous clowns

[lapis lion]

This game looks cool what's the name

[patent sail]

green goblin mask

[night turret]

Balaclava

[unreal topaz]

i feel like people underrate dagger

[patent sail]

Joker Poker: Balala

[unreal topaz]

it scales so fast

[vestal copper]

thats block blast

[night turret]

Exactly

[lapis lion]

Maybe like. One named chicot which disables something

[cursive lion]

Can we add Yorick since I always felt like he never got a chance in Hamlet

[lapis lion]

maybe we can make boss blinds

[vestal copper]

with abilities to hinder you

[cursive lion]

But sometimes I could help or not be a pain

[lapis lion]

Yes

[ebon maple]

I hate black deck

[cursive lion]

So it can reward you for being flexible

[night turret]

Take the daredevil

[vestal copper]

would be cool

[lapis lion]

And maybe a boss boss blind

[cursive lion]

Credit card in buffoon pack trust

[unreal topaz]

i mean whats in the pack

[ebon maple]

😭😭

[patent sail]

localthunk should fix the bug where the Eye blind isnt actually blind and clearly sees my Card Sharp

[lapis lion]

And maybe every 3 blinds we make an ante system

[cursive lion]

Man this seed SUCKS

[night turret]

Best and worst!

[patent sail]

hey thats john buffoon himself

[unreal topaz]

a non rental, non perishable +mult joker?

that's not half bad

[ebon maple]

Bunny jaisen

[lapis lion]

Yo john buffalo

[ebon maple]

I am on blue stake

[vagrant wagon]

Is an eternal joker stencel good for plasma purple stake with a two pair direction?

[unreal topaz]

oh im blind

[ebon maple]

My last deck before C+

[cursive lion]

Say that again

[patent sail]

buffalo? isnt tjat like

a name of cool poker roguelike

[lapis lion]

What's a stencil?

[cursive lion]

Stencil joker

Xmult for each joker slot empty

[patent sail]

mehhh idk im not good with plasma

[ebon maple]

Nah, its just black deck

[lapis lion]

What if we made the game jester in another language

[vagrant wagon]

Ok ok

[unreal topaz]

i wouldn't say so, 2 pair is a chips only type of hand

[ebon maple]

One of my fav jonklers

[echo sphinx]

h m

[cursive lion]

Really good joker but like madness and dagger it depends on your other jokers and how well you can play without relying on to many jokers

[unreal topaz]

you play 2 pair for the 20 chips on uranus and extra cards for bonus cards/todd/etc

[vagrant wagon]

So only look for chip jokers?

[cursive lion]

Chip jokers are going to be your friend

I would say odd Todd or scary face

[unreal topaz]

i would say prioritize chips, if you get enough blue seal value then glass cards and xmult jokers start mattering

[patent sail]

did you know: localthunk actually had to invent people so some of them can be jesters so he could take inspiration from them to make jokers

[cursive lion]

Or if you want to scale blue joker (maybe fine hologram) or castle

[ebon maple]

Just had an odd todd 5oak ace schollar and stencil run on black

[vagrant wagon]

Ok

[ebon maple]

Black stake though

[vagrant wagon]

We speak about scary face one reroll and there it is 🤣

[unreal topaz]

like sometimes there's an opportunity to pivot to xmult but i'd rather just hope violet vessel doesn't shoot me in the bronx

[echo sphinx]

wp

[unreal topaz]

and go for full chips

[patent sail]

its happy to see you as well, look at that smile

[cursive lion]

It’s like beetlejuice

Say his name three times

[unreal topaz]

pivoting to mult just takes sooo much

[edgy whale]

In 5 joker decks what is the best possible combination?
1 photo 4 chads
3/2 photo 2/3 chads
Or something else?

[cursive lion]

And he comes

[simple radish]

it's gonna eat your soul

[cursive lion]

Did you contact Playstack yet like did you email them

[echo sphinx]

probably 3 chad 2 photo

[simple radish]

did you

[unreal topaz]

red seals and glass cards change this, it's either 2 and 3 or 3 and 2

3 chads with glass, 3 photos without glass

[pale wolf]

balatro

[cursive lion]

I'm on my phone at the moment but if writing a short e-mail is so hard for you

[patent sail]

ew that game sucks

[echo sphinx]

he said the thing

[vagrant wagon]

Square joker what is this luck man 😅

[unreal topaz]

if you have red seal glass it's the same either way im pretty sure

[simple radish]

i'm busy at the moment but if someone not doing something you want them to do is so hard for you then that isn't my problem

please block me

it would be best for my mental health

[cursive lion]

⁉️

[simple radish]

minejoker

[rugged bloom]

12 for 12 on the reserved parking

[edgy whale]

Why not just 1 photo with 4 chads? And yes ur poker hand is high card red sealed glass king base edition...

[manic talon]

eww, trash

[patent sail]

wtf baseball still works on debuffed perishables

[stuck finch]

wow, what bullshit

[simple radish]

what the fuck is that card LMFAO

[cursive lion]

I'm all about Hamlet, I’m words words words

[patent sail]

cryptid polychrome

X2

[edgy whale]

fuck off

[cursive lion]

1.5xmult I mean

[patent sail]

this is pretyy good tho

[cursive lion]

Also just find swashbuckler, bull or bootstraps (temperance)

Easy

[vestal copper]

wait cryptid buffs poly?????

[unreal topaz]

Balancing retriggers and on scoring effects is best, with just plain face cards 4 chads 1 photo triggers the face card 9 times, but each trigger is 2x, while 3 photos 2 chads triggers the card 5 times, but with 3 2xs per trigger

so thats 9 doublings vs 15 doublings

[patent sail]

chat im taking bloodstone

[patent sail]

theres a joker that does that

all poly become 2x instead

tyeres a joker like that for every edition

[vestal copper]

oh

stardust alr

[rugged bloom]

Yep

Cryptid does that

Stuntman is pointless for strength (trying to naneinf)

[patent sail]

stuntman is fun

[unreal topaz]

eternal egg isnt even bad

[rugged bloom]

Yeah but I'm tryna farm the parking meter and commit tax fraud

[patent sail]

poly too

[unreal topaz]

yeah

seems like a good deal

[unreal topaz]

faceless seems better than parking tho

[patent sail]

is it?

[rugged bloom]

it is not

[unreal topaz]

with 4 discards yeah

[ancient gyro]

i say for the purchase cost it is at base value

[unreal topaz]

like for sure

[rugged bloom]

Time for yuri

[unreal topaz]

even if you use 2 discards for face cards faceless should be better

[unreal topaz]

are you playing all your hands every round?

[rugged bloom]

I suppose I'm selling the Oops for now

[rugged bloom]

All my hands every single round

[tight sedge]

only pairs from now on

[unreal topaz]

oh yeah faceless over oops for sure

[rugged bloom]

???

Do you not see the Bimbo

Bimbo (Blue Jimbo)

[unreal topaz]

so you drop both oops and parking

[rugged bloom]

huh

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[unreal topaz]

pick up blueprint and faceless

[rugged bloom]

I'm not doing that :)

My apolocheese

[ancient gyro]

parking can be picked up later in 10 antes or what not

welp, your ev loss

[pine swift]

This run could have been 5 new gold stickers 😭😭

[unreal topaz]

even then i often get more value from faceless than parking

[vagrant wagon]

I‘m thinking about taking a eternal photograph good idea?

[unreal topaz]

its only vs serpent that parking is better

with mime its also better

tbf

and red seals

[ancient gyro]

parking is better when you have the unconditional luxury to not die in 4 hands

[manic talon]

selling yorick remains a 100% winrate strategy

[patent sail]

blueprint first shop AND i can afford it 🗣🗣🗣

[unreal topaz]

exactly

[vestal copper]

gg

[rugged bloom]

Too early to get the DNA
