[jovial mica]

id take

[tough swift]

This run should not have won. I took the eternal jimbo on ante 2 as a joke, then got saved by the mime halfway through, and barely squeaked out a win by spamming high card with a bunch of queens and steel cards.

[supple quiver]

the biggest mistake was definitely going for photos intstead of more chads tbh, more chads is just straight up way better XD

[eager prawn]

X30 two Yorick this run is a bit broken :(

[echo sphinx]

four yorick. what

[eager prawn]

I don't know which jokers to add

[echo sphinx]

h m

[tough swift]

Drunkard?

[random ice]

Rebate is great

[echo sphinx]

things that give more flat mult should be good i thinkge

[random ice]

Merry Andy

[echo sphinx]

polychrome rebate 🔥

[random ice]

Oh it's already there lmao

[jovial mica]

hrrm

[random ice]

TWO polychrome rebates

[tough swift]

Abstract joker, swashbuckler are a few that don't have a condition

[random ice]

I mean they have a condition it's just easy to fulfill

[fringe nebula]

too much score, i should sell mad joker

[echo sphinx]

kinda ok ig

[stone shell]

did you rip double judgements

[echo sphinx]

i was thinking of econ more than anything

[dusty void]

Well that's nice

[echo sphinx]

i generally just default to retriggering gold stamp

[echo sphinx]

oh golly jee i wonder what to play

[random ice]

Gold Cards are better than Gold Seal

As you can combo your Gold Card with Blue Seal etc

[dusty void]

Rebate solos

[mystic vale]

holy fuck this game is peak

[echo sphinx]

certificate and marble would go crazy here

deck bloating strat

huh

maybe if i got the chance ill do it

[proper pollen]

no hand money tho

[echo sphinx]

200 card deck full of random cards

[echo sphinx]

did 1 in 2 not proc enough

[mystic vale]

i got the magic trick voucher too 😭

[jovial mica]

well crap

[mystic vale]

currently at 5.25x mult in ante 7

[jovial mica]

wait shit i need xmult too damn

[echo sphinx]

the splash water joker might need to go at sm point

[proper pollen]

my fantastic flush build did not work

[echo sphinx]

waite, flush?

[jovial mica]

im doing pair but putting more faces in bc smiley

but it isn't doing much now that i have dagger

might as well sell splash and get the chad hah

[echo sphinx]

time to gamble packs for a gold sticker

(or blue, or purle, polychrome whateves)

[topaz cloak]

Could someone help me, I'm new

[echo sphinx]

what does the game want me to do bro

so many jokers no hands to hold

[echo sphinx]

how may we help u

[green apex]

who is we

[echo sphinx]

i am we

[green apex]

1 person = we 👀

[echo sphinx]

me, myself and i

[green apex]

fair enough

[echo sphinx]

ok do i fullgreed and sell the happy joker

(Scary face)

or... dont

[green apex]

idk how is your score going, where is mult coming from

[echo sphinx]

nowhere

[green apex]

shouldnt you be trying to get that

[echo sphinx]

mult is coming from the hand size enabling fullhouse n stuff

[topaz cloak]

I need advice, the unlocks say i need to win but I've never gotten past the 3rd boss or whatever it's called. I usually do a flush build, Jupiter, (suit) gives +3 mult, building up that suit but it's never enough

[shell dagger]

don’t go for specific builds

[green apex]

get other jokers

[shell dagger]

go for what the game offers you

[topaz cloak]

I do I just try get that one

[green apex]

dont force a hand too

[echo sphinx]

uhhhh
greed for money (while respecting the score requirement)

[jovial mica]

LMAOO AND IM AT $104

[echo sphinx]

(and expand the Joker collection)

[green apex]

coulda rolled to 0

[echo sphinx]

0 dollers

[green apex]

or yk, play other hands

[stone shell]

lowk might sell blueprint for the money here

[echo sphinx]

no
stOP

[green apex]

blueprint doesnt got much to copy

[echo sphinx]

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

ITS ALL FACE

[green apex]

ok business card goes

[willow frost]

i hate to be rude but why woud you put your highscore in your name if its 16m

[stone shell]

plant giving you hope rn

[echo sphinx]

bruh

i have to tkae it

oh my gdsbjojal

[stone shell]

over your econ joker

im calling it rn ante 7 plant ante 8 amber for this run

[echo sphinx]

i selll the scary face

im going to find the mult in planets ig

[stone shell]

the final boss is 1 ante earlier

[echo sphinx]

IT CAME BACK

brooooobsjlblhbjskhjbll

GOD I WISH IT WAS A BLACK DECK

[green apex]

when i saw 82.67% to C++, I was like "i cant be that far right, ive played a fair bit of this game" to see this 😭

[stone shell]

just to be clear my username is only accounting gold stickered jokers and NOT other stickers

[green apex]

oh

[mystic vale]

yay i reached ante 12 for the first time

[green apex]

i thought 80% wouldnt be that hard though for C++

[stone shell]

the in-game percentage is probably like 90%

[green apex]

yeah

[jovial mica]

im a new player lol can i not be proud

[green apex]

hmm thats cool

[willow frost]

ok fine

ill accept

[green apex]

i thought 80% wouldnt be that difficult for C++ though, 60% is a bit heart breaking

[jovial mica]

iirc that was black deck

[mystic vale]

rust > c++

[jovial mica]

i have a vid somewhere

[green apex]

rust?

[willow frost]

the game im assuming

[mystic vale]

the language

[green apex]

oh

[stone shell]

i think C++ only starts to ramp up in difficulty at 60-70%

[willow frost]

unless he means the gd level in which case goated

[stone shell]

since by that point you got most of the good jokers

[mystic vale]

zodiac deck lowkey pmo

[green apex]

most? wouldnt you have all the jokers unlocked

[green apex]

what why

[jovial mica]

right here

[willow frost]

as in youd have most of them stickered

[stone shell]

most of the good jokers *gold stickered

[green apex]

oh.

[shell dagger]

waiter another pair run please

[mystic vale]

if you have both tarot and planet merchant, does it have any effect anyway? except for getting fewer spectral cards

[willow frost]

ah damn

ye old photochad

[green apex]

i dont even have all decks gold staked 😭

[shell dagger]

wdym

[green apex]

i got plasma and ghost, then checkered, yellow, red and blue are all at purple stake and everything else is in shambles

[shell dagger]

does what have any effect

[jovial mica]

tbf it was my first[?] win of my entire balatro career i didn't know better

[stone shell]

it's fine ive played this card for for 450 hours

[echo sphinx]

full econ btw

[green apex]

nebula is the only deck i hate, i just dont like the -1 consumable slot

[stone shell]

dont compare your progress to mine

[willow frost]

oh shit nice

[green apex]

ive done for 350 😭

[willow frost]

took me like 5 wins to get to ante 10

[sullen aspen]

good old vagabond run

[mystic vale]

like if planet and tarot are both 2x more likely, theyre basically the same likelyness as before since you dont get more shop slots

[sullen aspen]

I skipped last 2 blinds bc im lazy

[shell dagger]

you do get more shop slots

[jovial mica]

i was stubborn enough to keep trying black deck despite being called an insane new player lol

[stone shell]

less jokers, although the overstock voucher does counteract that

[shell dagger]

and they’re not the same likeliness as before

[green apex]

oh cooll

[willow frost]

yeah id agree lmao

[jovial mica]

since then I've done blue, yellow, I'm attempting green now

[willow frost]

but nice

[green apex]

it can be sped up faster btw...

[mystic vale]

what changes then

[jovial mica]

ik lmao im on 4x now

[stone shell]

also does the vouchers also affect tarot and planet pack rates? i would assume no

[shell dagger]

on zodiac deck you get like 1.1x more jokers and 3x more planets/tarots

[jovial mica]

sounds amazing

[sullen aspen]

zodiac deck goated

[green apex]

terrible if it did

[shell dagger]

read the shop page on the wiki, it’ll explain weights

[green apex]

i just hate nebula deck

i cant tell if i like green deck more though

[stone shell]

honestly fair nebula 1 consumable is just hella annoying

[fringe nebula]

i thought pairslop is kind of lobotomy but this is even worse

[jovial mica]

im on green deck now idk how to feel about being conservative of my hands because they DIRECTLY give money now

[stone shell]

honestly this is a VERY hot take but i dislike nebula more than black deck

[fringe nebula]

especially with dna copying glass cards

[cosmic sun]

Lukewarm

[green apex]

agreed

[willow frost]

reasonable take

[jovial mica]

haven't played nebula yet, remind me of this when i do lol

[green apex]

is card sharp or smiley better for ante 8 runs

[cosmic sun]

People really like that 2nd consumable slot

[shell dagger]

card sharp

[willow frost]

i dont agree but theyre almost at the same level for me

fuck nebula

[sullen aspen]

card sharp

[green apex]

forgot to mention, in the round 1 shop

[stone shell]

we gotta get maximum emperor and high priestess value

[shell dagger]

smiley if you’re on a hard deck/stake

but I’d usually just take card sharp anyway

[fringe nebula]

play magic deck with +1 consumable slot 🗣️

[green apex]

oh cool, just magic deck

[willow frost]

yeah still card sharp

[jovial mica]

isn't xmult this early risky? [depends on the deck/stake tbh]

[stone shell]

i like the double fools more lol

explosive start is cool

[jovial mica]

is that a challenge deck? /gen

[stone shell]

chat what if nebula was reworked to have the blueseal effect as a passive instead of telescope

[jovial mica]

defeats the point of its name

[stone shell]

okay fair

[stone shell]

yeah it just goes under the alias of fragile /silly

[green apex]

managed to draw all 4 of my aces in one round for rebate 🔥

[jovial mica]

lmao

[green apex]

and im gonna lose the run because i dont draw a pair

[jovial mica]

you should've kept 2 of themmmm

[stone shell]

teasing so hard

[fringe nebula]

i like it too

[green apex]

nvm its alg 😭

[stone shell]

thats 10 dollars tho

[jovial mica]

depends on the joker lineup and deck

[willow frost]

no it doesnt lmao

[stone shell]

gotta get the triple hierophant start

[jovial mica]

how useful would it be to get through the round vs gaining $10

[willow frost]

gaining 10

[stone shell]

honestly pairs are so easy to draw that if you lose from not drawing one

[willow frost]

its ante 1 we can just go again trust

[stone shell]

thats just unlucky

[jovial mica]

ah

[stone shell]

also 10$ is also 2$/round because interest

[green apex]

does flash card or red care scale better.

[jovial mica]

OH yeah forgot ab interest
im stuck in green deck mentality

[green apex]

i would say flash card, but..

[stone shell]

depends on the econ situation

[green apex]

but what idk

[green apex]

im flying

[willow frost]

id say flash card but everyone else on this server would say red card lol

[stone shell]

nah it depends imo

[green apex]

and everyone would seem right too... i love red card

[stone shell]

flash scales better if you have like 10s of extra of dollars

[green apex]

i got a white sticker on it but dont got a sticker on flash card (only red stake but...)

[fringe crest]

hi guys

[stone shell]

and can afford to roll =>3 times a round since you also want to see whats in shop

[fringe crest]

im back

[jovial mica]

yeah what's the game situation

[willow frost]

hello

[green apex]

the faceless is tempting too

[willow frost]

=3

[fringe crest]

hmmmm

[willow frost]

new :3 just dropped

[jovial mica]

lmao

[stone shell]

oh you have rebate

[fringe crest]

imo flash scaling better than red

[stone shell]

easy flash here

PLUS youre still rolling

[green apex]

yeah

i only took flower pot for the sake of the holographic, i had no mult for a while

[fringe crest]

valid

[green apex]

and supernova god dammit, so many scaling jokers this seed

[stone shell]

i was backreading my old runs before and my flower pot got carried by like 5 other uncommons and baseball

[fringe crest]

supernova is one of my favs

got a good burbler green trio run on abandoned

[green apex]

i like it too

great and fucking hologram, undeckfixing time question mark 😭

[stone shell]

tbh i dislike supernova out of the 3 common +mult scalers

doesnt pivot into obelisk well 😔

[green apex]

so you like obelisk.

[raven fjord]

fortune teller is eating good for the first time

[stone shell]

look

[fringe crest]

is that a take that i dont agree with? YOU SUCKKKKKKKK

[stone shell]

sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive gold stake

[green apex]

ok thats fair.

[stone shell]

its a good joker but i do agree its a bit annoying to pilot

[cosmic sun]

higher potential but never as consistent as red card

[green apex]

the timing of this

but i skipped the planet merchant

[stone shell]

constellation lowkey is the default xmult of balatro

whos with me on this

[cosmic sun]

"how do I use obelisk"

[green apex]

really? i would say its tied with hologram

now that you mention it

constellation does seem like it....

oh there is a soul

canio..

[stone shell]

i think constellation fits more because its easier to scale constellation than hologram

like hologram you gotta pray for a card adding joker or standard packs

constellation you see planets like every shop

[green apex]

i found 0 jacks (rebate) during the tooth

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[green apex]

that sucked.

[manic talon]

the default is a polychrome jimbo

[stone shell]

truth

[fringe crest]

man switching from controller to kbm is hard

[green apex]

welp i misse photochad

chad -> photo b2b rerolls

and photo came back to taunt me

[fringe nebula]

true

i picked up chonker at ante 3

but i'm unlucky

[green apex]

so a level 1 highcard wins.

this win should be in the bag.

ggs.

[sullen aspen]

where are my flush house truthers at🤞

[green apex]

how do you even make a flush house deck

[sullen aspen]

idk

just go for a suit

and delete cards

[green apex]

so its basically like flush five, except you got 2 cards.

[sullen aspen]

yeah id say so

its pretty fun

smeared joker also enables it

[green apex]

oh thats true..

i forgot its a joker to begin with.

[stone shell]

flush 5 and then use a strength

[green apex]

so it is that simple.

but if you have a flush five, then why would you want flush house

[random ice]

Time to win again lmao

[stone shell]

faster scaling iirc

also its inherently cooler trust

[green apex]

really?

i thought flush five scales better

[green apex]

that is kind of true tbh

[sullen aspen]

better scaling

and u can unlock flush house as early as the second round

with a suit changing tarot

[stone shell]

flouse is faster

[green apex]

oh stronger for umlt

but weaker on chips

[latent egret]

which is the thing that matters

[sullen aspen]

ill take 1 more mult

[green apex]

i mean does mult really matter though...

[latent egret]

cause that's what you'll be x ing

[sullen aspen]

over 10 chips

[green apex]

idol works 3/5 times though

or 2/5

[sullen aspen]

idol is garbage

for ante 8 runs

[latent egret]

there are other things too

[green apex]

flush house for ante 8

really.

[stone shell]

i guess in a trib setup flouse works marginally better than flush five

[sullen aspen]

yeah?

[latent egret]

glass for example is much more prominent than idol

[green apex]

hmm

deck fixing that fast is interesting..

[random ice]

Lmao

[stone shell]

thats because idol is about as consistent as matador logic

[sullen aspen]

like I said

u can unlock flush house as early as the second round

[green apex]

would you look at that.

as early as ante 10

big blind

[stone shell]

play the pair for blue seal value

[green apex]

i havent hit a single immolate from spectral packs

2 sigils, maybe its a flush house pivot..

[stone shell]

just wanna ask how did you get so much money for flash card mult to be that high

[green apex]

uhm i HAD so much money

very early rebate

both reroll vouchers by ante 6

[stone shell]

ohhhh that makes a LOT more sense

[sullen aspen]

wait is the early sigil a sign

[green apex]

i would be confused too xD

[sullen aspen]

to go for a straight flush run

[stone shell]

seance next shop

[green apex]

how the fuck do you build straight flush, thats something i never understand. everything is so wonky

[stone shell]

that is a very good question

honestly its just luck of joker draw if you can or not

with how good neptune scaling is you realistically only need like 1 xmult joker though so you can focus on deckfixing

[green apex]

what even is straight flush scaling like

[narrow viper]

ITS MY LAST ONE

[stone shell]

4/40

[narrow viper]

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE BEAN

[green apex]

oh

[stone shell]

per neptune

[sullen aspen]

sigil and tarots

[green apex]

flush house

same thing

[stone shell]

avail from the getgo but alot harder to build into

[green apex]

but its so inconsistent

[fringe nebula]

hey, 5 turns is kinda long

trust me

[stone shell]

if you only need to draw one to win does it reallyyy matter

[green apex]

what jokers would you have for scoring

must be bloodstone/aj

[crisp perch]

Wow

[green apex]

and cards regarding ranks aint gonna do much

[stone shell]

lowk its possible to survive off strush levels alone (old screenshot)

[green apex]

now dont screw the run, its a sign you should continue

[sullen aspen]

I lost by 20 chips 🫩🫩🫩🫩

sigh

[green apex]

🫩

oh its not an emoji here

[fringe crest]

chip taste better than mult

[stone shell]

i also have a screenshot of selling all my jokers and going into the final boss with only strush levels

(i lost that run because of hubris but shhhhh)

[green apex]

hubris?

[crisp perch]

I just need to get this driving license online

[green apex]

shouldnt be that bad, good luck!

[fringe nebula]

balatro out of context :
that's a really bad judgement

[fringe crest]

judgement usually gives me cola

[stone shell]

balatro out of context:

"MY WEE IS SO BIG BUT MY PANTS ISNT BIG ENOUGH"

[crisp perch]

This run bro 😭

[fringe nebula]

balatro out of context :

why can't i find justice

[crisp perch]

It should not be this close 😭

[green apex]

judgement usually gives me superposition

[green apex]

dodging death

[stone shell]

its a good joker if you build around it correctly :copium:

[ebon maple]

Not one neg skip tag in 4 entire runs

Tysm anaglyph

[green apex]

and i usually sell it because i find hallucination/cartomancer later on

[green apex]

well

a shit load of levels now

[stone shell]

na but seriously i had a really killer superposition run once where i was getting 2 tarots/round

on gold stake

[green apex]

is vagabond useful on goldstake..

[stone shell]

its night time im a bit high rn

[stone shell]

the tarot get is THAT strong

[crisp perch]

Lost it next round 💔

[stone shell]

like every time i get a vagabond its gonna be a chill gold stake round

[green apex]

gold stake though

econ where? econ when?

i never know how to use vagabond and still get econ

[stone shell]

you underestimate gold cards

[fringe nebula]

absolutely

vagabond is very good

[green apex]

you're right

a thing i forget smh

[fringe nebula]

and lucky cards

you're not exactly "poor" with vagabond because of gold and lucky cards

[stone shell]

lucky is somewhat anti-synergestic since if it procs too early no more tarots

[green apex]

20 dollars from a high card early on

at the start of the round question mark

[stone shell]

at the same time though money for shop is nice

[green apex]

golden ticket could do something

[stone shell]

also just wanna say if you value each tarot as 3$ then you're getting +2 dollars per hand upfront

[ebon maple]

Nah, didnt skip, i am rolling for a non stickered hard guy

[green apex]

thats something..

[fringe nebula]

vagabond is great, but even better when you find a red seal

[green apex]

fair

[stone shell]

and if not then you can still sell a tarot for the same price as getting extra hand income at the end of round

[green apex]

whys that

gold cards?

[fringe nebula]

more than just gold cards

[stone shell]

glass, steel and gold cards

[green apex]

oh generally

[stone shell]

very strong scoring solution

[fringe nebula]

balatro out of context :
death came at the right time

[stone shell]

OH MY GOD I LOVED HANGED MEN AND DEATHS

[fringe nebula]

lmao

[stone shell]

MORE DEATH MORE DEATH MORE DEATH

[bleak escarp]

what is that unlock

[fringe nebula]

stuntman

[bleak escarp]

what does he do?

[stone shell]

+250 chips, -2 hand size

[fringe nebula]

gives you +250 chips each hand, but reduces your handsize from 8 to 6

good for pair/high card build

[bleak escarp]

okk

[stone shell]

hes good with steel we trust in getting the same setup as naneinf stuntman

[fringe nebula]

like this?

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

[stone shell]

true........

[stone shell]

man i just remembered that wild baron gold stake run

where i got 3 gold stickers on rare jokers

[fringe nebula]

well, here we go again

[bleak escarp]

so many badges

[proper pollen]

wasnt planning on it.

[stone shell]

bros jokers next shop all think its june 😭

[terse vale]

this kiiid is not myyy son

[proper pollen]

son 😭 im crine 😭 that is 😭 such a tuff 😭 MJ 😭 (slang 😭 for Micheal Jackson 😭 ) reference 😭

GODDAMNIT

I didnt pull the right carrrrrddddssssssss

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

thats horririibibibibibbbllleleeeeeeeeeeeee

thatss sooooooo badddddddddddddddddddddd

[harsh relic]

rip

[fringe nebula]

matador burglar combo is kinda crazy

[jovial mica]

barely made it out but i unlocked challenges!

the ox almost messed my run up

[stone shell]

you have photochad on white stake i dont think the money loss wouldve been enough to make you lose at that point

unless it was before

[narrow viper]

this run bro

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[bleak escarp]

wich guy i delete?

[stone shell]

rocket or spectral

[bleak escarp]

rocket

[stone shell]

the responsible option is rocket but i want to see how much this server values shiny blue cards

[bleak escarp]

yay

[edgy whale]

take the gamble and look for the soul

[tender bone]

idc what yall say

triboulet is the best leg

[stone shell]

for an ante 8 context i do agree tbh

[stone shell]

yeah rental dagger was NOT the play

idk what else i couldve done though

[willow frost]

cant find a single copier for this guy lmao

[fringe nebula]

keep going, even when it feels like you're going to lose

[shell dagger]

sell bones to undebuff your cards

[fringe nebula]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1121085971325272224.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[echo sphinx]

u win

neato

[stone shell]

sometimes this game is just nice

no strings attached 2pair spam

[strange compass]

Finally got a red seal 😭

[fringe nebula]

sometimes the game is being really nice, sometimes the game wants you to suffer

[stone shell]

sqoker (92 chips) or burnt

for reference

since needle is up next i think i want to keep sqoker since i already know 2pair clears needle

[willow frost]

this is maybe the longest time its taken me to geet a blueprint on an endless run

invis is on 18/2

and it copies mime lets go

[rocky tiger]

obelisk carrying that run

[willow frost]

duo is carrying this run thank you very much

[strange compass]

Yo I am also attempting a seed on a endless run. Do you think I should use Ectoplasm? I got the paint brush voucher and have antimatter so I have 6 slots

I am gonna get DNA soon I know this seed

[willow frost]

if you know this seed do you know what this ecto hits

if not just savescum it, seeing as youre already playing a seed

[strange compass]

I don't actually, this is my first run where I picked up sixth sense to get red seals

[willow frost]

ah damn

im assuming you dont need anything other than blueprint and mime to score?

[strange compass]

Nuh uh. I have red seal steel polychrome kings now

And I can get DNA rn by rerolling a little bit

[willow frost]

alright good, then start savescumming and selling bad hits until it hits blueprint/mime

[green meteor]

Tsundere balatro?

[strange compass]

How do you save scum ectoplasm?

I know how to do it on a pack and stuff but a card is different

[willow frost]

same way you do normally, click use on the ectoplasm, when the new joker appears if its bad exi and reenter, and the ectoplasm should be unused

[tight lantern]

Awesome

[stone shell]

bones and blue joker gold stickered!!!!

(yes i did replace square joker with blue joker)

[willow frost]

these invisible jokers suck i hit mime and dna

[stone shell]

had a level 28 2pair if anyone is curious

[strange compass]

I got it on Chad first so I sold it and got it on BP second time.

[willow frost]

ah nice

[stone shell]

from what i remember balatro only saves whenever you reroll or exit a shop

ignoring packs and actual round play

so basically everything but shhh

[potent mirage]

Come on!!!! C++

[stone shell]

anyway i think i understand the square joker hype now

though imo i feel like its still a bit weak unless you get +mult scaling

[potent mirage]

x14 jokers

[stone shell]

21 dollars in debt with -12$ per round 😭

[potent mirage]

Last ante

[stone shell]

bro makes vagabond look rich

[peak crest]

it’s so tempting to just sell everything but baron and space but i know if i lose the 50/50 it’s over and either way i lose ALL of my scoring

but FUCK i love gambling

[stone shell]

do you even have the kings to support it

please just take medium cryptid like a responsible balatro gamer

gamble for tarots not jokers

[fringe nebula]

yeah i'm going to die to the ey- IS THAT ECTO AND RAMEN

[stone shell]

clutch

man i remember using i think judgement(?) and pulling a nat negative brainstorm

oh it was a wraith

[patent sail]

so whats better, gold sticker on astronomer or on a Yorick/Perkeo (only 2 legends im yet to gold sticker)

i win regardless so

[peak crest]

didn’t take it, misclicked and played the wrong hand and lost because of it anyway 💔

[stone shell]

if you're willing to savescum i would check to see if its perkeo

if not i would do astronomer since i would like yorick to carry a run

[fringe nebula]

you are guaranteed to get a legendary you haven't gold stickered

[patent sail]

i mean yes but

[stone shell]

still 50/50

[patent sail]

its either yorick or perkeo

and yorick is easy to get in a diff run where he carries

[stone shell]

if i know its yorick i would not gold sticker it yet since he has carry potential for a run

[patent sail]

perkeo may be annoying

[fringe nebula]

perkeo is a patience game

[languid portal]

Does anyone know how invisible joker rng works?

[patent sail]

mannn ill just do it idk i can get astronomer some other time

[stone shell]

i swear i died after getting perkeo like 5 times before finally gold stickering it

[patent sail]

yes: random

[stone shell]

chooses a target, chooses again after buying/selling a joker

[patent sail]

exactly my situation

[willow frost]

this run was fucking pitiful

1 copier in 19 antes

[patent sail]

ITS FUCKING YORICK

im gonna cry

oh well

fuck you perkeo, showing up anytime BUT when i need you

[stone shell]

this is why i said astronomer if youre not willing to savescum 😭

[languid portal]

Seems like it depend on the availble jokers buy order

[patent sail]

idk how to savescum a legendary

im not fast enough for that

it just saves like instantly after

[stone shell]

the humble 0.5x speed option

[patent sail]

oh well, yorick is okay

perkeo i hate you personally

[stone shell]

you just know every soul in the future is a guaranteed death omen now

and i dont mean the tarot sadly 😔

[patent sail]

well on gold stake

im still doing the decks one by one

and oh my god on lower stakes its ALWAYS perkeo

no one else

its just always him

but one time that i needed him bro decided not to show up

tragic but whatever

another deck down, 8 more to go

[stone shell]

was the deck you just did nebula

[fringe nebula]

u sure

[stone shell]

no green

[patent sail]

green 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

its so boring i wanted to get it out of the way

[stone shell]

no we hate perkeo because we dont find the death after he shows up

[patent sail]

i hate perkeo because he stinks

[fringe nebula]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[patent sail]

die

[stone shell]

this is the canon lore for why he is green

trust me

[patent sail]

green aura

[stiff crow]

🔫

[fringe nebula]

perkeo is basically golden joker by giving you $4/round

until you get what you want

[random ice]

Thanks Mr bones

[patent sail]

burnt joker for me

[heady zenith]

gap hag maxxing

[fringe nebula]

again, only 2% out of all members of this server understand that reference

[patent sail]

which one

[fringe nebula]

touhou related stuff

[calm furnace]

the biggest tell that someone sucks at balatro is if they don't rate fortune teller and flash card

[stone shell]

sorry the only thing i dodge are responsibilities in favor of balatro 😔

[patent sail]

as a balatro player, i dodge all water in the shower

[calm furnace]

+45 and i sold most of my tarots for campfire 😭

[stone shell]

payback for losing all discards icic

[proper pollen]

the rain once a week is the boss blind and the small/big blinds are your mom telling you to take a shower. You can skip them but you dont get your allowance

[covert steeple]

Makes sense

[patent sail]

dad telling to get a job is a finisher blind

[covert steeple]

Anyway, morning Balatro enthusiasts

[stone shell]

its 9:30 pm here but good day

[light brook]

only water i touch counts every played card towards score

[narrow viper]

this is the run

[stone shell]

man i wanna do a balatro resource pack that just makes a parody name for every boss blind

like i wanna rename violet vessel to "The Purple Pain"

[narrow viper]

THIS IS THE RUN

[stone shell]

skipped for a rare, ban this man/j

[covert steeple]

What are you selling tho?

[narrow viper]

soldmail

[light brook]

i jus now noticed the chad jokers 😭

[narrow viper]

C++ DONE

[light brook]

win another run for the achievement

[covert steeple]

Is that how it works?

[light brook]

but CONGRATS 🎉

[covert steeple]

You need to win a run after for it to count?

[light brook]

yeah it’s a bug

[narrow viper]

yeeee

[covert steeple]

Also, MASSIVE GGS

[stone shell]

right i still didnt get my uh

rule breaker steam achievement even though i did all challenges

does it deactivate if i used the unlock all button?

[light brook]

yes

[stone shell]

god DAMN IT that shouldnt happen

i still had to beat them all

[knotty zodiac]

rip

[light brook]

when you click the unlock all it’s says “warning this will deactivate achievements are you sure you wanna do this?”

[stone shell]

i did that for a mod like a dumbass 😭

[patent sail]

dude i triggered 8 ball like 11-12 times and got ONE tarot

[stone shell]

wait does this uh

also apply to C++

[covert steeple]

Yep

[light brook]

yes

[stone shell]

so apparently my 84% is actually 0% then

i uh

need a moment to grieve

[light brook]

personally i would’ve gone on a new account

and unlocked all there

i’m sorry ral

[covert steeple]

Rip C++

[knotty zodiac]

surely there's some balatro save editor out there?

[covert steeple]

Not as far as I know

[hard mantle]

i can tell im exhausted

[heady zenith]

sex

[hard mantle]

i just said "a full of a house is probably safer"

[light brook]

also c++ is personal achievement, so technically if you have c++ on this account and don’t get the achievement you can still say you got it

because this is a vanilla mod right

[stone shell]

full vanilla c++ yeah

[light brook]

if it’s vanilla and doesn’t change the gameplay then you can still count it as c++

[stone shell]

but its not the same without the steam achievement

[light brook]

true

[stone shell]

well at the bright side

FULL BLACK DECK C++ SIDE HUSTLE

[light brook]

practice c++ lol

[knotty zodiac]

Dont 👏 let 👏 the 👏 computer 👏 tell 👏 you 👏 what 👏 to 👏 do.

[light brook]

wait actually this is a harder flex on the bright side

[hard mantle]

this game will give me anything but econ cards huh

[stone shell]

i spent 450 hours on balatro to get a c++ that doesnt count

(well 500 by the time i get it probably)

[light brook]

because if you do c++ again to get the achievement then you can say c++2

[knotty zodiac]

i count it 🤷

[stone shell]

well steam doesnt and clearly the platform counts more than your opinions/j

but its just sad that i cant fully 100% balatro because of a stupid ass mistake

unless i do it all over again

[light brook]

do it to flex on the haters

[prime tulip]

Lucky guy

[knotty zodiac]

itll presumably be faster the second time around..

[stone shell]

probably since i have experience but like

still super sad

[fringe crest]

i didnt sleep

gyulp

[fading dome]

I believe you can actually undo that?

I'd need to double check though

[willow frost]

gay thoughts or son daughter

[patent sail]

oh okay

[stone shell]

oops

[random ice]

Very weird run

Skipped 3 antes lmao

[fading dome]

well you can reset the "unlock all" status on your profile (which would allow you to get achievements etc); but you unfortunately cannot un-discover or re-lock any jokers/consumables/etc
so whether that's useful depends on your situation @stone shell

[stone shell]

oh that doesnt matter since i already discovered and unlocked everything prior

how do i do it

[hard mantle]

this blueprint saved this run

im still struggling so hard tho

[random ice]

Don't forget to Bp the DNA for extra cards

[knotty zodiac]

apparently balatro is easy game. simply load up with xmult on every slot lols

[hard mantle]

wait i can do that?!

[random ice]

Yes

[true wagon]

This says I'm 8 stickers short but I can only find one Joker without a gold sticker. Is there something I'm missing?

[random ice]

You should be BPing the DNA every turn 1

[stone shell]

counts the stake stickers before gold

[random ice]

Then swap to Bp the holo

[terse vale]

BAhee

[stone shell]

so white, red, green, blue etc is also under gold stake

[patent sail]

gold sticker = 8 stickers

[hard mantle]

holy fucking shit what

[terse vale]

wanoowf

[hard mantle]

thats insane

i can bp my stone cards

[random ice]

This is blueprint tech

[fading dome]

If you go to https://balatro.shorty.systems/, and upload your profile.jkr (file location), you can uncheck All Jokers Unlocked (Disables Achievements). You can then download the file and replace your own profile.jkr with the new file. As always, I recommend you make backups before doing any of this

[true wagon]

Thanks y'all! Last one!

[terse vale]

hqwowoooo

[echo sphinx]

woah

[midnight talon]

💔

[fierce flame]

guys, i have a question. how do the youtubers play the hands by just swiping the cursor on the cards (whitout clicking every card)?

[terse vale]

don’t do it too muh’! I think

[knotty zodiac]

yep and cartomancer and hallucination and certificate 🙂

[random ice]

And burnt

[terse vale]

mods

[patent sail]

handy mod

[fading dome]

it's a mod https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1270746376312979456

[random ice]

And burglar

[echo sphinx]

we love flush gaming

[midnight talon]

yeaaaaaa

bro knows ball

[stone shell]

tysm ill do it as soon as i can

[fierce flame]

does the mod disable achievements on steam?

[terse vale]

its not bery good on gold stake and it mals me sad

[stone shell]

im assuming this'll still keep my progress and it just reactivates achievements

also should this be in modded

[hard mantle]

oh my god chat

i might beat gold stake today

[echo sphinx]

i haven't figured out what wins runs consistently

[terse vale]

pairs do !

[hard mantle]

who knew that all i needed to beat gold stake was to go homeless irl :3

[fringe nebula]

delgrat and blue joker are alot stronger on 5 cards draw lol

[stone shell]

yes but i believe in steammodded you can activate achievements still

with mods

[echo sphinx]

pairslop

[fading dome]

Nothing changes about the progress, and it allows you to get achievements again (it doesn't retroactively give them to you though)

[terse vale]

“pairslop” wins runs consistently

[midnight talon]

we LOVE flush gaming

[sand cliff]

i've got a question about stakes, how do i know if ive previously used a joker to beat a older stake than it shows?

[echo sphinx]

i gotta try pairslop runs

wait why pairs

or can it be twopair

[stone shell]

ah so if i beat all the challenges and reactivate i would need to win any challenge again just to update the game?

[echo sphinx]

or high cuz chad is common

[knotty zodiac]

pairs are easier to draw than 2 pair

[fringe nebula]

5 card draw moment

[terse vale]

less consistent to draw

[fading dome]

Handy by itself doesn't. If you use steamodded (which you do not need for handy), it does by default; but I don't recommend using steamodded if you don't actually need it

[stone shell]

or just any game in general

[terse vale]

only advantage is chips and fib really

[hard mantle]

despite having no econ cards i have $30

[echo sphinx]

damn

[hard mantle]

i need to use tarot packs more, they are genuinely the entire reason this run is functioning

[patent sail]

steammodded disabled achievements?

[fading dome]

In theory yes. Achievements are usually only checked if you do something relevant though (e.g. opening a booster pack doesn't let you get the $400 achievement and getting $1 doesn't check for booster pack achievements etc)

[knotty zodiac]

only reason to go 2p over pairs is pants, planet level, or supernova play count

[fading dome]

It does by default yeah

[hard mantle]

alright chat. what do here?

[knotty zodiac]

but mostly just pants

[patent sail]

no wonder i didnt get my rule breaker achievements

[sand cliff]

like if i've beat blue stake with a joker, do i get all of the previous stakes before that one? or do i have to go back and beat white stake with that joker. and if so how will i know?

[proper pollen]

sqare joker

[hard mantle]

if you beat gold stake with a joker, its been beaten for every stake

[knotty zodiac]

pair still better on square

[hard mantle]

WHAT DO

I DONT WANNA FUCK THIS UP

AAAAAAAAA

[sand cliff]

does that only work for gold or is it just like that for every higher stake

[hard mantle]

every higher stake

[knotty zodiac]

what planet levels

[hard mantle]

my entire score is basically off of jokers

[knotty zodiac]

i see. so cant replace fist

[terse vale]

lowkey has go be idol
right

[sand cliff]

thank you, i appreciate it.

[terse vale]

no sticker, and foil

you have enough mult it looks like

[knotty zodiac]

looks like pass assuming holo is >2x

[hard mantle]

heres my deck

[hard mantle]

its x7.25

[knotty zodiac]

oh hm

[terse vale]

yeah prolly idol?

you win without dna right

[knotty zodiac]

maybe you can replace fist then

[terse vale]

?

[knotty zodiac]

ya sell fist for bs

[hard mantle]

i dont need dna to win here, my holo can beat the boss natural

[terse vale]

fist iz the base mult

what

[knotty zodiac]

point bs and bp both to holo

[terse vale]

sell dna

its not doing anything

[stone shell]

alright i just did the thing fingers crossed it doesnt crash

[hard mantle]

sell DNA for idol or brainstorm?

[terse vale]

idol has no sticker

[knotty zodiac]

bs

[terse vale]

brainstorm you’d wanna keep around

so you’re more likely to sticker it

[hard mantle]

okay yeah fair enough actually

[terse vale]

but you dont neeeed it rn

[knotty zodiac]

can worry about stickers after you clear your first win

[terse vale]

so you’ll sticker it later

[terse vale]

they already win

so sticker the hardest joker to sticker first

aka idol

the shit joker

[knotty zodiac]

thought this is their first gold stake win

[stone shell]

just to check ima speedrun the game on plasma white stake

[hard mantle]

i can score 403,000 with one stone card

[hard mantle]

403,680 to be exact

[terse vale]

ya

they’ll have opportunities to use brainstorm later

idol is a once in a lifetime sticker

[hard mantle]

:3

boss is cerulean bell

[terse vale]

ez idol sticker

yah youre safe

[hard mantle]

so its not really a concern, since this is a pair build

i will keep a spare tower on me tho

and i beat gold stake in two hands :3

or the boss rather

thank yall chat ^^

[knotty zodiac]

ggwp

[steep iron]

master game

[knotty zodiac]

guys i leveled up to c+ 🎉

[edgy whale]

rock hard deck with queen

[hard mantle]

ty!

i thought i was fucked coz i didnt get any econ cards that run

[steep iron]

👍

[manic talon]

Idol works tho (it doesnt, this was just a photochad build but like 10 times worse)

[hard mantle]

idol works amazingly if you have the erratic deck seed that gives you nothing but 10 of spades

[steep iron]

idol saved me

[stone shell]

didnt get rule breaker

[spark kernel]

Chat am i lucky to beable to play 58 soul cards in my time playing balatro

[steep iron]

👀

[patent sail]

i guess thats pretty lucky for my first time trying painted deck

[fringe nebula]

gg

[narrow viper]

bro

[woven spire]

balatro

[native cape]

what else do i need for this run other than hand size?

[lyric karma]

Dna

[willow frost]

an ecto

[lyric karma]

this too

[native cape]

so 1 ecto and dna

[shell dagger]

Money

[willow frost]

yes

[shell dagger]

It’s too early for steel

[willow frost]

most important thing, you need to have about 20 times as much money as you do now

[native cape]

i only just got the 2nd bp and brainstorm

[frigid apex]

what is a high card

[native cape]

i was struggling to score before then

so i needed steel

[willow frost]

a card

[woven spire]

a card that’s up in the sky

[frigid apex]

ohh alr

[willow frost]

double buffoon pack finally paid off

[fringe crest]

is this fr

this cannot be fr

[frigid apex]

dude i forgot abt high cards I've been playing two pairs for an entire day😭😭

i checked the info tho

[fringe crest]

you play

a single card

or multiple that dont result in any other hand

[topaz cloak]

MY FIRST 8/8

[willow frost]

please

its canio goddammit

first soul in a while though

[topaz cloak]

What it do

[willow frost]

canio does this

[harsh relic]

+1x every killed face card

[willow frost]

which would be really good if i wasnt playing endless

[topaz cloak]

What...

[stone shell]

cool look

[fringe nebula]

i know how you feel mate
i know how it feels to see violet vessel for the first time

[patent sail]

any amount of cards with no "synergy" in them idk how to explain it any better

[patent sail]

dude playing on that cyan deck

[topaz cloak]

It's over

[topaz cloak]

Green

[terse dock]

The absence of any other poker hand

[molten thicket]

the despair of seeing violet vessel affects even the beginners huh

[balmy epoch]

Hit the road rework:
If a discard only contains Jacks, destroy them and gain 0.25X Mult each.
If at least three jacks are destroyed, gain 0.5X Mult each instead.

(Since the song goes "Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back no more")

[green apex]

no x mult and winning VV (granted its a lower stake but)

also marks all decks atleast red stake. got 2 gold staked, still got others on purple stake, got many on black and randoms on green

[fringe nebula]

that's quite a lineup you got there

[patent sail]

why

[balmy epoch]

This probably sucks but whatever

[patent sail]

its fine as is

[balmy epoch]

It is I just thought about this because of the song lyrics lol

[topaz cloak]

Flush build, and i get to around 60k per hand

[south saffron]

i was surprised that the switch 2 version of balatro was an entirely different software/sku

[green apex]

yo also got the same boss

[south saffron]

and that none of the save data transferred over

[green apex]

burglar carried, and space joker only procced on high cards 😭

[patent sail]

if it resets it would get infinitely worse, if it doesnt it may be overpowered idk

[topaz cloak]

🙁

[south saffron]

rough

[green apex]

welp

[south saffron]

it happens to all of us

[balmy epoch]

Yeah in my mind that version doesn't reset

[patent sail]

violet vessel 🥀🥀

[proper pollen]

looks like run over gg

[patent sail]

you aced it!

[green apex]

painted deck but not on painted

and really aced it

[south saffron]

you kinda need an ace up your sleeve to win this one

[patent sail]

please laugh i spent whole 5 seconds on that joke

[patent sail]

maybe even two of them

[topaz cloak]

That deck really doesn't like anyone romantically (uncornily)

[patent sail]

dont do green deck

[south saffron]

or perhaps its better to flush five of them at once

[patent sail]

green is ass icl

[topaz cloak]

Y

[green apex]

its pretty bad

[molten thicket]

man my mac's screen exploded and i can't play balatro, im already having withdrawals

is this bad

[proper pollen]

I made it!!

[patent sail]

i just beat it on gold stake and its mid

[green apex]

dude its good

[proper pollen]

glass polychrome + blueprinted chad is very big

[patent sail]

what do yiy have unlocked in decks

[molten thicket]

i'm itching so badly

i just want 1 more cat run

[south saffron]

meow?

[molten thicket]

is this the consequence of playing 2h every day

[topaz cloak]

Red blue yellow green black

[molten thicket]

no meow 😔

[manic talon]

now to 18 streak, Obelisk hands are closer than what i liked it to be, burger just messes with the hand usage

[patent sail]

yellow is pretty good, that $10 start goes a long way for starting interest and generally buying things

[proper pollen]

and this is enough to keep it goin

[topaz cloak]

Why is green bad, it seems great for money

[molten thicket]

it is

[patent sail]

no interest

interest is kinda just safer, green deck hurts your payout for you just using your hands and playing the game

i hope you know how interest mechanic works

[green apex]

and really bad deck for scaling jokres based of hands

[topaz cloak]

Yes, +1 for every 5

[manic talon]

you get more money from one shotting blinds, you need money to find jokers to one shot blinds, so unless you have an econ joker, your econ is tied to your score, which means if one of them fails, it both fails

[topaz cloak]

And i can boost the max to 10 per payout with a joker

[maiden gust]

Any point in doing infinite mode? Does it unlock anything? I got this deck that isn’t bad at all and I wanted to keep going if there was anything to go after

[molten thicket]

also i keep accidentally buying seed money on green bcs monkey see seed money monkey buy seed money

[patent sail]

yeah that is just way safer to do because you can actually use your hands

[patent sail]

theres also a voucher that doubles it

two of them even, you can boost the interest to $40 if you get all 3

[proper pollen]

ok run over

[patent sail]

interest is generally just a way safer way of getting that bonus payout

[manic talon]

only unlocks is when you reach ante 12, and tangentially, when you hit 100 Million score and having 400 dollars in your wallet

[maiden gust]

Thank you!

[patent sail]

with that score you got ante 12 secured unless plant shows up

[patent sail]

im not sure but this person MIGHT like aces idk yet

[topaz cloak]

Wtf

[molten thicket]

what makes you think that

i can't tell yet

[patent sail]

just a silly thought, idk

[topaz cloak]

I see a lot of donuts

[light brook]

is bro scholar 🙏

[patent sail]

abandoned deck is pretty damn good btw you better unlock that one soon

[topaz cloak]

Btw what do you think of the build i went for, i was getting as many hearts as possible for flushes

[patent sail]

i didnt see it uh

what was it

[proper pollen]

RIP

blame shit idol

[topaz cloak]

I remember it had the 1/4 level up, a mult per hand used, fibbonaci, glitch and 3 mult per heart

[topaz cloak]

.

[maiden gust]

So after this score I don’t have any achievements left in terms of score, correct?

[topaz cloak]

And a shit ton of jupiters

[glad viper]

the killed me for 12 hours

[patent sail]

that 3 mult per heart lowk cpulf be replaced with sometging better

[glad viper]

im back

[patent sail]

some kinda xmult idk

[topaz cloak]

Rly?

[keen radish]

Burnt joker beside a DNA for straights fuck man goes hard

[proper pollen]

hes back.... for a limited time.....

[patent sail]

its generally a starter jonkler to me, you kinda wanna better jonklers like xmult for later

[topaz cloak]

Alr

[molten thicket]

bloodstone?

[patent sail]

not that you cant win without xmult, ive had a few suffed runs
