[coarse bobcat]

:C

[stone shell]

we already peaked at nat neg perkeo and trib

[coarse bobcat]

bp better

[cosmic sun]

GS decision making is kinda crazy

I lowkey autopilot through some things still

[coarse bobcat]

autopilot into plant

100% of time

[stone shell]

ah just asking since im curious how my gold stake thought process differs from others

[coarse bobcat]

i just have got lucky and no plant recently

[cosmic sun]

Nawww I haven't even run photochad in a year and a half

[coarse bobcat]

photochad?

[cosmic sun]

More like small things such as optimal drawing + the shop

[stone shell]

well other high level balatro players

[coarse bobcat]

yall have other cards than kings in your deck ever lul

[cosmic sun]

What do you notice personally

[coarse bobcat]

I only ever play naninf runs

[cosmic sun]

9s

[lost vault]

purreow

[coarse bobcat]

wow $12 huge

[subtle drum]

same

[cosmic sun]

Blackboard, C9, Obelisk, the speculative goats

[stone shell]

sometimes in idol endless runs i have purple seal stones

[lost vault]

yeah kings are pretty mid

all they have is like

barom

why would i want baron

[subtle drum]

SRIMKY‼️

[lost vault]

yes

skinky

[coarse bobcat]

[subtle drum]

[lost vault]

:p

[subtle drum]

stinky

jk

[stone shell]

how do you feel about sheet suggestions closing

[lost vault]

the fuck kind of bizarro balator are you playing

[cosmic sun]

yea cause baron is like one of the few builds

on endless

[coarse bobcat]

gold stake naninf

[subtle drum]

i hate baron

[lost vault]

i do not like it

[stone shell]

yes where else do i put my obvious joke ideas

[cosmic sun]

Gold Stake just hits different

[lost vault]

just make new threads idk

[cosmic sun]

I wouldn't even touch this game without it

[subtle drum]

meow

[lost vault]

the mods didnt give anywhere to put joke suggestions they just closed it and said go to off topic

i guess off topic works

[stone shell]

its not the same because for actual posts i put in real effort

[lost vault]

yeah

[coarse bobcat]

fr just temporary bp/bs and eternal socknb all over the place

[fringe crest]

yo

i might be cooked

[lost vault]

i think sheet should be reopened

[fringe crest]

ive been watching aot in all of my classes

i havent done shit

[lost vault]

but what can i really do

im more mad about kitkat's ban anyway

[coarse bobcat]

dont worry i spoil ending for you so you can get back to study

[fringe crest]

NONONONOONON

bye guys

[coarse bobcat]

||batman dies||

[fringe crest]

im outa here

[stone shell]

whos kitkat-

[lost vault]

what the sigma

[lost vault]

the creator of the srimp suggestions thread

[coarse bobcat]

real ones know

[stone shell]

ah

[lost vault]

the htread in question has been hidden/ deleted

[stoic isle]

guys guess what

[lost vault]

and i am suspicious about the decision to remove it rather than just leave it closed

[tranquil oasis]

burger

[atomic trout]

I never liked the Eye.... 😠

The Eye watches you.

[tranquil oasis]

besides the plant

what IS the worst boss blind

[stoic isle]

the

[atomic trout]

I lost the game because I have shit planets 😫

And Wee Joker was a joke

Sucks to buy it a round earlier

[tranquil oasis]

is it reasonable to say that throwback joker is atleast top 20

[atomic trout]

More like throw up Joker. Hehehe

[stone shell]

top 20 worst jokers

[stone shell]

needle or wall imo

[atomic trout]

Throwback? More like throw out

[tranquil oasis]

all my wins have been with throwback

[stone shell]

for regular bosses

[tranquil oasis]

so it’s prolly biased

[atomic trout]

Ante 7 NEEDLE

Is the worst

[green meteor]

Throwback should throw it back for me

[tranquil oasis]

what

[fringe nebula]

what???????????)??

[tranquil oasis]

ancient joker can be top 10 if played right

[atomic trout]

Is that the joker that selects one card?

Or one suit?

[weary whale]

My only gold stake win was with TWO Throwbacks

[tranquil oasis]

1.5x mult per random suit yeah

[atomic trout]

The better joker

[tranquil oasis]

it changes each blind

not just spades

[atomic trout]

The one I always avoid

[tranquil oasis]

it’s very good

[stoic isle]

black stake done

[atomic trout]

Huh...

[stoic isle]

not really done but

[atomic trout]

I have to stop Hanging Chads

[stoic isle]

i did 2 or 3

[north relic]

imo its hard to synergize with

[cosmic sun]

Card stats should show your bottom used

[atomic trout]

The what?

[torpid bridge]

Bottom

[heady laurel]

Your top ten least used jokers

[atomic trout]

They're all cards

[plain briar]

what do i replace for blue print ( i am hard rolling for baron every round)

[cosmic sun]

Jokers*

[atomic trout]

How do you do that?

[stoic isle]

dna probably

[torpid bridge]

Do you have many steels?

[cosmic sun]

Well I guess it would count the same as top used

[stoic isle]

no sell all your negatives trust

[heady laurel]

If you have enough steel you could kill yorick

[plain briar]

my deck

[cosmic sun]

Anyways I know damn well Showman, Sock, Idol, and Bloodstone are at the very bottom.

[torpid bridge]

Yorick is gone

[heady laurel]

Oh yorick ez

[plain briar]

okay thanks

pray for me to get baron

[heady laurel]

Youll get it

[atomic trout]

I wish you could see your least used Jokers

[north relic]

how do yall get these deck builds bro

[heady laurel]

Especially with BP on rebate

[plain briar]

skill

[north relic]

is there some thinninh tech im missing bro

[atomic trout]

Luck

[heady laurel]

MONEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY

[plain briar]

ive be rolling so hard

this baron is scared

[tranquil oasis]

is this bad

[stoic isle]

steven here

[atomic trout]

Hehe Odd Steve and Even Todd

[north relic]

even here

[heady laurel]

The fact you made it this far without a baron is cool

[north relic]

lol

[tranquil oasis]

yeah this says something

[torpid bridge]

Why is sock at the bottom

[tranquil oasis]

really does

[cosmic sun]

folk...

[torpid bridge]

Sock can be used to farm lucky cards

[cosmic sun]

I don't ever need it ngl

Usually I have chad to do that anyway

[tranquil oasis]

flush is fire

[torpid bridge]

Doesnt mean it is in the bottom

[atomic trout]

Too much Color

Flush

[cosmic sun]

It's probably bottom 10

[torpid bridge]

And sock have synergies with jokers othet than bloodstone

[plain briar]

ik ive been on high alert every hand not to throw

[torpid bridge]

Or idol

[ember shoal]

conflicted with choices again

[tranquil oasis]

throwback

[atomic trout]

Color

[torpid bridge]

Cat scales well with sock

[tranquil oasis]

trust me

[atomic trout]

Ewwwwhhh why?

[cosmic sun]

Sock is like a red seal on faces tho, and from the perspective of pair spam there are other econ methods

[north relic]

mire souls then ectos and crypids is crzy

[tranquil oasis]

don’t

[cosmic sun]

Like (cough) a red seal devil

[tranquil oasis]

don’t mind that

[fringe crest]

aaandddd spoilers for aot ||erens killing everyone its so over||

[atomic trout]

Hieroglyphic

[tranquil oasis]

yeah

[fringe crest]

||he just started the rumbling is where im at||

[stoic isle]

my top voucher is wasteful

[cosmic sun]

Bro read an AU

[north relic]

is pyroglyph even worth it for endless runs

[fringe warren]

99% of gamblers quit before they change their full hand to kings/2s

[torpid bridge]

Doesnt necessarily be an eco method

[atomic trout]

Many try

[torpid bridge]

It can score when cards are glass

[tranquil oasis]

super heaven or super hell

[stoic isle]

IT KEEPS SHOWING UP

[tranquil oasis]

very tough choice

[stoic isle]

hack is good wdym

[torpid bridge]

Sock should be in the middle tier

Not bottom

[tranquil oasis]

the few times I get hack it was ok

[north relic]

good but not better

[cosmic sun]

Sock seems more big hand oriented anyhow

[torpid bridge]

Even in pair spamming it still offers value

[cosmic sun]

Which is why it's out of the equation already

[stoic isle]

yeah of course

[torpid bridge]

Its true

[north relic]

its built is specific

[torpid bridge]

But on pair spamming it still offers value

[cosmic sun]

I can count on my fingers when I used Sock in GS

Again not that there's not a niche use but rather I usually have many alternatives to consider before Sock

[torpid bridge]

Doesnt mean it is a bad card

[tranquil oasis]

yo

[north relic]

how mamy socks we talkin, is there 2 or a buskin

[tranquil oasis]

cavendish just BROKE on me

[torpid bridge]

Its not the top tier ones in your meta

[tranquil oasis]

I’m gonna tweak

[torpid bridge]

But definitely not the bottom

[cosmic sun]

It's probably D on most GS lists ngl

I just said for me it's bottom of least used cause that's just how it was

[cosmic sun]

Oh yeah Hack barely beats it out too probably

[atomic trout]

I can't win

Why in the hell is Hieroglyphic on Ante 1?

[north relic]

yh was abt to say lost on ante 0 lol

[cosmic sun]

I would say out of every retrigger, Chad and then Seltzer are my most used

[atomic trout]

It's just begging for me to lose

[cosmic sun]

Or if we count red seals then Chad > Red Seals > Seltzer

[atomic trout]

It basically becomes Black Deck but worse

[north relic]

yh i always forget abt the debuff on it lol

[plain briar]

do i replace dna

[stoic isle]

my top joker is the dangling chud

[atomic trout]

Oh my

Speaking of Black

[tranquil oasis]

first time trying gold stake

let’s chase the buzz

[atomic trout]

Blueberry Stakes

[cosmic sun]

let's see how this changes in a year

[stoic isle]

gween

[atomic trout]

Blackberry Deck and Stakes wasn't too bad

[cosmic sun]

Something might surpass card sharp ngl

[atomic trout]

Recycle Joker

[cosmic sun]

Probably Blackboard

[atomic trout]

Riding the Bus? I never liked the joker

I accidentally Splashed on a king and it resets

Never Splash a Face card while riding the Bus

[cosmic sun]

good thing splash is niche

[atomic trout]

But

I like Splash

[cosmic sun]

I like it too

[tranquil oasis]

yo

[atomic trout]

Splash makes sense when you have random Lucky red seal cards

[cosmic sun]

I just think twice before picking it with Bus

[atomic trout]

And I High Card

[tranquil oasis]

never playing gold stake again

[north relic]

yh prob

[atomic trout]

Go back to Whiter stakes

[heady laurel]

When you dont beat the first blind in one hand and the voices come back

[atomic trout]

Blanco is best

[tranquil oasis]

I’ve only completed white stake and I’m skipping ALL the way to gold

am I fried

[north relic]

also ur deck is even smaller now wut

[atomic trout]

I had completed all Blackberry cobbler stakes

[tranquil oasis]

nevermind I win

[atomic trout]

Trying all blueberry pies

[north relic]

did thst too lol

[tranquil oasis]

I got blueprint and a throwback at 3x

along with a gros michel

[ivory roost]

Just got my first ever win boys this is the greatest day of my life

[tranquil oasis]

congrats

[atomic trout]

The lotto?

[torpid bridge]

Hack dusk and photos are basically the same

Dusk is worse

Im surprised you mention sock but not the other two

[cosmic sun]

Dusk might be even lower than Sock on my least used

[atomic trout]

Which Deck and Stakes?

[cosmic sun]

And I say Seltzer is higher cause its effect is less conditional

[torpid bridge]

Dusk is even more big hand oriented than sock

[atomic trout]

Acrobat is Dusk but better

[plain briar]

3 mimes before a single baron

[torpid bridge]

You dont want to save your last hand to retrig lucky cards 2 additional times

[cosmic sun]

yep

[atomic trout]

But it's only useful against the Needle

[north relic]

thhats crzy

[atomic trout]

Damned needle

[cosmic sun]

Mmm depends

Can save against A8 even

[atomic trout]

Depends if you don't have a shit deck

[cosmic sun]

Sometimes you have nothing else tbh

And need a little more xmult

[lost vault]

myon

[atomic trout]

It's basically firing a cannon and hope it hits the target

[cosmic sun]

mmm

[atomic trout]

Hit the Road? 🤢

[wintry valley]

how are things lookin

[primal sable]

Congrats bro

[lost vault]

who tf is THAT

[lyric falcon]

to discard... or not to discard... that is the question

[atomic trout]

What's that last joker?

Conjoined Joker?

[lost vault]

green jokers is like 3x better than summit

[wintry valley]

multiplayer thing :3

[wintry valley]

yep

[lost vault]

oh

[frozen swan]

I swear I saw blueprint the moment this landed on my eyes

[atomic trout]

Discard the Rocks

[lost vault]

modded discussion maybe?

[lost vault]

L

[atomic trout]

OH... Eww

[lost vault]

wym ew

[atomic trout]

It's multiplayer

[wintry valley]

IT'S PEAKK

[frozen swan]

this is what ante 10 is doing to me

[lost vault]

whats bad about that

[atomic trout]

I'm not familiar with the multiplayer

[lost vault]

so its ew?

[atomic trout]

Nothing wrong. Just a joker that I'm not familiar with

Also, 🤢

[wintry valley]

look

[atomic trout]

🤮 on the multiplayer jokers

[wicked sonnet]

COMPLETIONIST PLUS!!!!! FINALLY

[atomic trout]

I was right about the name 🤣

[wintry valley]

U GUESSED IT??

[atomic trout]

And I never seen it before 🤣

[cosmic sun]

how smart is balatro multiplayer

[wintry valley]

holy luck

[cosmic sun]

I need real multiplayer heads weighing in on this

[wintry valley]

0 iq

[atomic trout]

I don't play multiplayer 🤯

[torpid bridge]

Probably not better than a monkey

[wicked sonnet]

man painted deck took me so long and i fumbled so many good runs

i can't belive i finally got C+

[cosmic sun]

wow immediately multiplayer players are like "yeah my goat is washed"

[atomic trout]

Not very smart

[wicked sonnet]

now it's time to grind c++...

i have 67% so far

[lost vault]

67!!!

[atomic trout]

Take my Onion

[wicked sonnet]

tuff

[lost vault]

does the 67 gesture

[wicked sonnet]

thank you for the onion

my brain is fried from so many painted deck runs

[atomic trout]

You'll be crying all along

[wicked sonnet]

i start one on anaglyph or something and i get shocked by the 8 hand size

[lost vault]

oh nyan

[wicked sonnet]

shhh

this will be easy

haha

[lost vault]

the best deck for c++ is the one you enjoy most tbh

[wicked sonnet]

wait i should do a white stake run so i actually get the c+ steam achievement

[lost vault]

meow! :3

[cosmic sun]

the better you are the faster c++ will be

[wicked sonnet]

i think i'll start with anaglyph for now cuz it's fun but i'll probably do ghost or yellow by the end

[cosmic sun]

thats how you nab 4 stickers in one run

[atomic trout]

Black Deck

[wicked sonnet]

i got black deck gold stake so early into c+

[atomic trout]

No way

[lost vault]

ngl the winrate on black is so atrocious that its not even worth the joker slot for gold staking

[wicked sonnet]

i think it was my ninth

or eighth

i knew it would suck so i went early

for some reason painted was my last and i really struggled to beat orange stake

[atomic trout]

I have had my fun experience with Black Friday... It's a shit deck

[lost vault]

gang thats more than halfway through

[wicked sonnet]

but i got gold stake after like 4 attempts

[wicked sonnet]

yeah but that's still fairly early

compared to most other people

[lost vault]

do you consider ante 5 to be "early"

[frozen swan]

going further in this run I found a invisible joker, by 1 round to sell it and get a copied joker I lost

[wicked sonnet]

ante 5 is still early it's about the latest early tho

[atomic trout]

Is 5am early?

[wicked sonnet]

cuz the scaling hasn't surpassed early game jokers

[lost vault]

technically yes

[wicked sonnet]

ok time to run a white stake ghost deck run so i can get the achievement

[atomic trout]

Then yes, Ante 5 is early LOL

[wicked sonnet]

do i have to win or can i throw

[lost vault]

gang

[frozen swan]

is this good?

[lost vault]

thoes are two very different scales

[atomic trout]

It's where Purple Stakes violently strangles you

[lost vault]

??

the hell is your logiic

this aint rage bait this is confusion bait

[atomic trout]

Español

[cosmic sun]

aight broham

[lost vault]

no

[wicked sonnet]

plasma is fun

i liked it

was my second gold stake win

[lost vault]

fun or not it isnt good

[atomic trout]

I always noticed that purple Stakes always scales way too early

And fast

[lost vault]

yes thats the purpose of purple stake :3

[atomic trout]

That's why I find it not so fun 😨

[torpid bridge]

Violet vessel is also purple

[lost vault]

skill issue

[atomic trout]

So is the Wall

[atomic trout]

Luck

[wicked sonnet]

does anyone know the answer

[atomic trout]

That and I always play High Card

[torpid bridge]

Its always the purple gang

[wicked sonnet]

do i have to do a full ante 8 run

[atomic trout]

Throw?

[wicked sonnet]

to get the achievement for c++

[atomic trout]

[wicked sonnet]

do i have to win a run afterwards or can i lose it

[atomic trout]

I'm not sure

[wicked sonnet]

cuz it didn't show up yet

ok i'll win

just to remember how easy white stake is

[atomic trout]

White Stakes is always easy

[wicked sonnet]

WAIT I HAVE FIVE JOKER SLOTS

this is incredible

painted deck corrupted me

[atomic trout]

[frozen swan]

bro i'm cooked

I forgot I got a new stake

[dapper zenith]

doeds mega buffon tag not show up in ante 1 or something

why am I nobt seeing it at ALL

[frank grove]

mega buffoon tag can only show up in ante 2+

[dapper zenith]

pain

mega arfcanas it is for max golden needle start

[frank grove]

ohhh

[dapper zenith]

ive got 3 more challenges

worst for last it seems

[frank grove]

probably winnable with this lineup

[weary whale]

2 Vouchers and 1 Joker is all I need to complete the collection.

[frank grove]

what joker are you missing?

[wicked sonnet]

nat neg cavendish 🔥

[weary whale]

Stuntman. Still need to unlock him.

[frank grove]

ahh

[fringe nebula]

oops space hallu

[lost vault]

glass card carry

[wicked sonnet]

how is the finisher blind on white stake only 100k

why is white stake so simple 😭

[atomic trout]

It's White Stakes

It's Easy

[wicked sonnet]

yeah exactly

i haven't played it in so long

i forgot how easy it is

[atomic trout]

And then I go to Gold Stakes. I forgot why it's difficult

[wicked sonnet]

hooray i got c+ achievement

now i can start on c++

to be fair this run was lucky ash

[torpid yacht]

I got my 1st nannif today and I wanted to keep the seed. I play on mobile. Is there anyway to retrieve it?

[lost vault]

the evil banaa

banananaannanananananana

[wicked sonnet]

banan

[lost vault]

no

[wicked sonnet]

hsidnevac

[torpid yacht]

Dang thank you

[wicked sonnet]

i should do some uni work

probably time to stop balala for now

and start on c++ tomorrow

[lost vault]

i should do some stuudying

chat how do i motivate myself

[cosmic sun]

Finding Holo and giving it .25x before Crimson Heart is crazy work

[rancid gull]

just get yourself to do it

just start

[rancid gull]

starting is always the hard part

[cosmic sun]

+75 fortune teller

dayum

[lost vault]

true bomb

[rancid gull]

i have adhd, so it can be really hard to get myself to do things

motivate yourself with the idea that you'll feel good

you'll feel great after doing the studying

[lost vault]

i have the adhd too

i ned to fricking get back onmy frickingmedication

[serene forge]

most original and balanced r/balatro idea

[weary whale]

Needed all the money I could get in order to feed Flash Card

[shell rock]

chat i beat black deck gold stake today

shame it didn't save to my phone but whatever

at least its possible

[fringe warren]

Then someone's gonna say to change it to a rare as if that helps at all

[shell rock]

but i have to do it again

[lost vault]

aside from the opness this is very boring

oigrhirouigdihdsrigtr

in terms of effect

it just

scales for free

fun

[frank grove]

from only seeing the reddit posts being ss and sent here that is a very r/balatro idea 😭

[fringe nebula]

that is stronger than blue stake yorick lmao

[lost vault]

false

yorick scales by a little more than 1X mult per ante

idk the real number

but you get 30 cards discardes per ante on blue

and yorick requires 23

[solemn sonnet]

I just realised that my entire collection on my main save file was unlocked for some reason

So i didnt get any achievements for all the stuff i did

[twin lantern]

"Win the game" joker

[twin lantern]

Haha!

Nerd

[solemn sonnet]

I dont even know how it happened

My collection was randomly unlocked

[twin lantern]

I did it :3

[solemn sonnet]

Even though if i played modded it would be only on other save files

[covert steeple]

Could've been that you wanted a practice save file

Thats what I did

[solemn sonnet]

Time to unlock green deck and gold stake it again i guess

[twin lantern]

Wtf are you practicing?

[covert steeple]

The higher stakes

[twin lantern]

Isnt that just normal game play

[covert steeple]

Also going for Joker lineups I usually wouldnt

[frank grove]

i have a couple saves where i do random white stake nonsense where i have everything unlocked just so i dont have like 400 souls used on my main saves stats or whatever

[fringe nebula]

fat chonkers

[solemn sonnet]

I never unlocked the collection on my main save file myself so

Its probably a mod i played

[twin lantern]

I just told you it was me I live in ur walls

[solemn sonnet]

[errant brook]

Guys current situation on gold stake lol this is possible. But I def need the last boss re-roll and ectoplasm

[fringe nebula]

yes, i am flushmaxxing this one instead of the usual pairslop spam

[fringe nebula]

possible

[twin lantern]

Yes you need to pivot to greedy joker

[solemn sonnet]

does mime retrigger baron's x1.5

[twin lantern]

Yes

[fringe nebula]

yes

[frank grove]

Yeah

[twin lantern]

No

[frank grove]

it also retriggers gold cards, parking, raised fist, blue seals

[fringe nebula]

mime retriggers baron's, shoot the moon's, and fist's abilities

[frank grove]

shoot the moon stuff like that

[errant brook]

Well what about now?! Blueprint is Blueprint but Invisible Joker could be anything! It could even be Blueprint!

[solemn sonnet]

So wouldn't it be better to have all your copying jokers on mime instead of like 2 on baron and 2 on mime

[fringe nebula]

no

[twin lantern]

Put your BP on ur baron for max score BTW

[frank grove]

no, the general rule is that you want to balance retrigger effects and scoring effects

[solemn sonnet]

Ah okay

[errant brook]

I live with this setup so this gets me more money

For now

[fringe nebula]

4 baron 2 blueprint scores more

[twin lantern]

My neighbors are arguing and im HIGH KEY listening in

And forming opinions

[covert steeple]

Are the opinions good or bad?

[twin lantern]

Bad

These bitches aint loyal

[covert steeple]

That tracks for neighbors

[twin lantern]

One be calling the other a cheater

Okay its over im sleepy gn

[errant brook]

Literally Ecto and last boss re-roll voucher and this becomes 100% doable

[sonic nexus]

This is quite the dilemma

[lost vault]

sell sp[lash????????

[frank grove]

what is splash doing

[lost vault]

actutlally

maybe the gukcing abstract joker

[sonic nexus]

Helping me with my flush house

[frank grove]

hmm

[sonic nexus]

why the abstract

[frank grove]

18 mult isnt that much at this point

[lost vault]

cuz he comes after bloodshit

[ebon condor]

if youre getting decent value from bloodstone, abstract shouldnt be doing much

[sonic nexus]

alright then

[ebon condor]

unless youre not and in that case

common bloodstone L

[stark charm]

Sell blood stone for reroll value

[lost vault]

in fairness that is a big if

[stark charm]

Idk why people are shitting on bloodstone maybe because it is random?

But I don't really play flush so I don't really use them

[lost vault]

because it is bad

inconsistency is bad

[frank grove]

it gets countered by a fair few bosses, is inconsistant, is on scoring effects

[lost vault]

it needs some king of fix

[ebon condor]

i think theres something to be said about elitism and over-optimization when it comes to bloodstone hate but also its just not a very good joker if youre trying to win consistently

so

[lost vault]

the fuck you mean elitism and overoptimiziation

[ebon condor]

well like

the majority of the players of this game are not like us

they play this game to have fun

[frank grove]

i like jokers where another joker does boost its score a lot so bloodstone is kinda fun in that regard but its also just so inconsistent for your only scoring

[lost vault]

im not elitist

if you play the game to have fun go nuts

thats why i do it too

if you like bloodstone i dont care

[stark charm]

Majority of players are losing white stake bro, and we need to be more chill about it.

[lost vault]

if you say its good though

i will object

because it isnt

[ebon condor]

and i feel like the tendency to hate on bloodstone and make fun of those who like it that this server has speaks to those ideas

ykwim?

[gaunt sedge]

what can i improve at this build?

[sonic nexus]

Folks

[frank grove]

<@&1133519078540185692> get em

you dont need to ping them 3 times

Trash was right

<@&1133519078540185692>

[lost vault]

what

[sonic nexus]

She said something about having a honeypot for this before

[lost vault]

okay but she didnt invent the concept of honeypots

[frank grove]

nat neg superpos thats pretty cool

[lost vault]

i doubt she was the first to say it

[sonic nexus]

Anyways selling the abstract was worth it

[lost vault]

how though

its rental

[stark charm]

Idk if you can pivot to mime and baron but 4 perkeo build is lowk cool it probaly better than everything else except mimebaron

[frank grove]

yeah which means it doesnt cost 9 dollars to buy a negative

[frank grove]

im probably not taking it here, but i could for a round or two and be fine

[gaunt sedge]

alr i will be looking for them

[errant brook]

This game hates me

[stark charm]

Skip for red card value ?

[errant brook]

RIP

Needed Turtle Bean to get past ante 24

did not find it

[potent tree]

best i can do is flower pot

[errant brook]

Rental Turtle Bean, card 436

I needed 108 re-rolls to find it

[lost vault]

ha ha ha

[potent tree]

as a cybersecurity grad tho i'd be happy to help install a honeypot if given a chance

[errant brook]

Ectoplasm did not naturally exist by ante 32

[lost vault]

for reals though

[errant brook]

Was never possible

There goes by far my best chance at gold stake naneinf

[lost vault]

a honeypot would hugely reduce the number of people who fall for these scam

because no matter how dumb they seem

some chump out there will click on it

and get their account compromised

[potent tree]

i need to brush up a bit but i think i could do this if i had time

[stark charm]

True some chump also will send on honey pot and get permanently banned

[lost vault]

personally id rather get banned from one server than my entire account compromised

[sly osprey]

conversation is valid, move to #🎙・server-chat v

[lost vault]

sorry

[sly osprey]

all good no worries

[fringe nebula]

observatory is kinda underrated?

[lost vault]

is it though

its good but liiike

rare

[fringe nebula]

i could've scored more because i found card sharp at ante 7 but i decided to not do that

i have level 2 boss reroll so no worries

[manic talon]

Depends if you have blue seal or not

[frank grove]

i love you bbc

[potent tree]

british broadcasting corporation!!

[frank grove]

rare full house gaming, thank you sir trio and bbc

[potent tree]

now make fullhouse gaming your lifestyle as i have

[knotty zodiac]

stickers stickers, it never ends

[potent tree]

i just hope i can get through work today, then i'm free for the next 3 days to knock out more stickers

[knotty zodiac]

when do new stickers become hard? like 120+?

[potent tree]

believe so yes

[frank grove]

it really depends on what you havent stickered yet

[potent tree]

although i haven't been using anaglyph for c++ this time around

[frank grove]

if you're missing a ton of commons at 120+ its fairly easy to get through them but if you have only uncommons or rares left it can be much harder

[knotty zodiac]

the bad: 4/5 legendary to go
i have been focusing on grabbing rares and uncommons over commons

so that part is probably ok

[frank grove]

at least in gs if you havent gold stickered all the legendaries yet you will always get one you havent got a gold sticker for so thats a nice touch

[knotty zodiac]

i just dont find enough souls. eventually ill start taking them even if its likely going to kill the run huh

[frank grove]

yeah

[edgy whale]

hi

[stone shell]

sigil 🙏

medium isnt bad either

[fringe nebula]

medium isn't bad yeah

i think ouija on painted deck is not that bad?

[lost vault]

ouija aces 🙏

oh the scholar isperishable

[knotty zodiac]

anaglyph feels.. really underwhelming. only 15% chance of a late neg tag. early neg tags perish and drag econ and often kill the run

maybe i need to git gud but thats how it feels to me xD

[lost vault]

i mean, thats not the only way to play anaglyoh deck

[fringe nebula]

doing c++ naturally is more fun than anaglyph

[lost vault]

anaglyph is a natural part of the game though

forcing negative tags is the problem

not anaglyph itselg

[stone shell]

tbh i think anaglyph is pretty fun because now i actually put thought in weighing between going for a shop or 300 dollars

[knotty zodiac]

ill use the other tags as needed ofc but i just heard that it's supposed to me good for stickers and i dont really agree

[frank grove]

yeah anaglyph is fine its the forcing negative tag to get a bunch of hopefully tough things stickered

cause some of the fun of c++ is trying to make some jokers work in a run

[lost vault]

now i dont enjoy anaglyph personally

[knotty zodiac]

ya its suprising which jokers i thought were completely deadweight actually work

[lost vault]

theres like

[frank grove]

i havent really played enough anaglyph to like have an opinion on it

[lost vault]

2 unusable jokers

honestly

they arent totally unusable but have very few and apart usec ases

idol showman

[frank grove]

yeah

showman is really specific

like you have to basically already win for showman to be good

[knotty zodiac]

trib seems kinda bad for a8

[stone shell]

trying to extract value from seane is like squeezing water out of sand from the sahara

[fringe nebula]

chat do i dare

[lost vault]

trib is not bad

but it is the worst legendary

[frank grove]

i wish seance wasnt really useless in strush builds

if you can play strushes consistantly spectrals do nothing of use

[knotty zodiac]

seance should do some suitfixing imo

[fringe nebula]

turns out i'm not daring enough to take the flower pot 😭

[knotty zodiac]

idk how exactly

[tacit stream]

Seance Rework:
X5 Mult if hand contains Straight Flush.

[stone shell]

tbh i think seance should just straight up fill your consumables with spectrals

[knotty zodiac]

maybe it should spawn a sigil card specifically

[stone shell]

its not meant to support strush and just meant to reward you for doing something otherwordly

[frank grove]

yeah

but that kinda sucks, cause i like strushes they just kinda suck to play right now

[stone shell]

i say that but im doing my absolute hardest to force a strush build

[frank grove]

i guess i wish seance wasnt the only strush specific joker. i guess?

[stone shell]

please give me immolate

[lost vault]

NO

[stone shell]

ouija 💔

[knotty zodiac]

even immolate feels kinda bad for str flush?

[lost vault]

peak

[stone shell]

well its good on painted but i want strush

[lost vault]

pivot off of sturshes

[stone shell]

thinning the deck cant be a bad thing

[frank grove]

yeah that early immolate is fine for strush but later on when you've already done all the work it doesnt really matter

[knotty zodiac]

my only 10 of hearts gets burned, itll be a bad day

[stone shell]

i have the opportunity to do the most unfunny thing right now

gayance anyone

[vagrant wagon]

I think the shop will tell me something

[frank grove]

do it DO IT !!!

[lost vault]

negative seance

eyes

[pure oasis]

so the Oxford vocabulary got a new word this year - "Strush"?

[knotty zodiac]

neg seance is the only good seance xD

[vagrant wagon]

Thats true

[lost vault]

whag

t

[frank grove]

huh

[tepid lava]

sure whatever thanks

[stone shell]

chat its happening 🙏

[frank grove]

huh why are my packs so ...

[stone shell]

third spectral

[pure oasis]

you are talking about strushes? never heard before it before this conversation

[lost vault]

ngl seance barely helps strushes

[knotty zodiac]

its a pretty card!

[frank grove]

exactly!!!

[lost vault]

use deduction and reasoning to figure out what it means

[stone shell]

ecto

[lost vault]

context clues friend

this mf has never heard of slang

[stone shell]

is it worth ripping an ecto to see what riff raff has

[pure oasis]

yes i figured it, but that is what i ment with my last comment. They should add "strush" in the Oxford vocabulary from now on

[knotty zodiac]

free rebate. but your 4th strush will be a miracle

[lost vault]

you didnt say should, you said they did

means a completely different thing

[stone shell]

its painted so its not that unlikely but

prayers

[knotty zodiac]

prayge

[frank grove]

its painted it should be fine to ecto, im not ectoing there personally but like it probably doesnt matter

[stone shell]

ill hold on to ecto

[pure oasis]

ah, sorry i'm not native speaker and it is still my first cup of coffee so mistakes were made

[lost vault]

first??

do people usually have more qwq

[pure oasis]

today

2,5 cups and yes i should reduce it. I have high blood pressure

[lost vault]

woki

[knotty zodiac]

make the jump to sparkling water 💦

[subtle drum]

ew

sparkling water tastes yucky

[lost vault]

i dunno i usually have energy drinks cuz im a chud ass femboy

[stone shell]

no dice maybe this wasnt the play

[subtle drum]

same

[lost vault]

yeah just frink regular water

[subtle drum]

i drink monster

[lost vault]

its better for yur kidneys

[stone shell]

whats monster

[frank grove]

i drink just tap water

[subtle drum]

energy drink

[lost vault]

its an energy drink brand

i love them

[subtle drum]

sameeee

[knotty zodiac]

like red bull without the cool stunts

[stone shell]

dont think ive seen it around here

[lost vault]

compsci major

[pure oasis]

i drink local vichy, but coffee has antioxidants in it so it actually good for ones health - in small amounts

[lost vault]

loves monster

ultrakill fan

[subtle drum]

and balatro

[lost vault]

true

i do like balator

[subtle drum]

😳

[lost vault]

.>

i get compliments way more this way it feels nice

[frank grove]

stuntman only costing 7 dollars feels crazy? no?

[lost vault]

he also costs 2 handsize

[subtle drum]

i love stuntman

[frank grove]

yeah but thats kinda nothing for all the chips you really need for a8 run

[subtle drum]

i should use it more

[knotty zodiac]

stuntman should probably be $8 to troll us in round 1 shop

[frank grove]

🔥

is shop one rental madness too expensive to consider?

[pure oasis]

energy drinks are horrendous poison for your system if asked from me. High of sugar and caffeine can lead to high blood pressure, gaining weight and incresed hearth rate

also can cause anxiety and affect sleep rhytm

[knotty zodiac]

it sounds barely doable

[stone shell]

its a valid pick on all decks except black imo

[sly osprey]

#🃏・off-topic

[vestal copper]

true

[stone shell]

worth over zany?

usually this is an auto pickup for me but painted is weird

[frank grove]

are you still playing strushes

[stone shell]

different run

last one died because i couldnt draw one 🤯

[knotty zodiac]

its probably better than rocket if you have any seals

[stone shell]

i have a blue seal but i dont need zany i think

plus rocket econ is always nice

[knotty zodiac]

mm ya if scoring is enough keep both ofc

[night turret]

Now hear me out on this

[frank grove]

yeah that works on checkered

[stone shell]

i think i'll sell zany for it but if i lose this is probably why

[knotty zodiac]

greeeeed it up 📈

[stone shell]

i know its not worth it but god i really want it

actually it might be since i need a bit of scoring help right now

[knotty zodiac]

someone loves straights, the harder the better xD

[night turret]

Going on my tombstone

[stone shell]

i think this is a crazy take but hear me out

im selling rocket for it

[knotty zodiac]

ask them if they have a 2 for 1 special

[knotty zodiac]

absolutely bonkers lol

$5 is one whole arcana pack

[stone shell]

of course superposition gives me judgement

[knotty zodiac]

chase the sunk cost and sell trading card? xD

[unreal topaz]

another easy one i guess

[stone shell]

sell runner trust :copium:

[shell dagger]

taking 3 eternals that do nothing for score this early is bold

[knotty zodiac]

theyre chasing that runner's high

[smoky niche]

this cannot be a good setup

[stone shell]

you'd be surprised how good superposition can really be in the right setups

[lost vault]

"gaining weight" i am dangerously underweight tf you mean

well almost

theyre not good for you

but theyre not like poison

[knotty zodiac]

thats the best superposition that youve had? like multiple tarots per ante?

[heavy heron]

i wouldn’t say gaining weight is the highest concern behind energy drinks

in fact it’s probably one of the more minute concerns

[lost vault]

its probably the heart effects yeah

[heavy heron]

yea

[stone shell]

ive had one where it generated like 2 per blind thanks to multiple glass and steel

so my final hand can one shot

[vagrant wagon]

I hate that thing

[heavy heron]

and messed up energy levels and stuff

[lost vault]

honestly i dont mind too much if i have heart issues when i get old
being old sucks

[heavy heron]

but as long as you take care of yourself

[lost vault]

the energy levels have affected me

[heavy heron]

then, it probably isn’t a problem

[lost vault]

but thats mostly an issue of me not being responsible

[knotty zodiac]

so better than cart. nice

[knotty zodiac]

my most memorable and worst times a decade ago involved monster lol. it's not inherently that bad, but its the circumstances when you feel you want to take it

[smoky niche]

how are you getting points here though

[fringe nebula]

vagabond moment

[knotty zodiac]

vagabond merch. love to see it

[stone shell]

glass and steel

and saturns but apparently that planet doesnt exist

[knotty zodiac]

neptune or bust

[smoky niche]

deckfixing is a mystery to me

how do you deckfix for straights

[pure oasis]

well, "poison" was a literary device.

[knotty zodiac]

trim the edges

[fringe nebula]

cutting the aces and 2s

[smoky niche]

yeah but eternal superposition

[fringe nebula]

oh lol

[pure oasis]

and i am having heart issues and i can tell you those can be horrendous

[fringe nebula]

in that case you cut the middle ig

9s until 6s can go

[knotty zodiac]

here, probably trim the bot. anything lower than a 9 can probably go

[smoky niche]

makes sense

[stone shell]

its working again

[fringe nebula]

the tooth

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

[pure oasis]

just last thursday got hospitalized and they figured i had mild cardiac inflammatory

[smoky niche]

wait that was poor choice of react

[honest latch]

Fuck my chud life

[pure oasis]

and that was mild, i thought i was going to die

[stone shell]

justice, chariots and saturns have been so horrible that i might take this

next boss is wall anyway so i think i have to

[honest latch]

Take it

[pure oasis]

breathing was bit difficult and blood pressure and heart rate was too high

[knotty zodiac]

heiro is instant take at 6 hands right?

[shell dagger]

pretty much

[fringe nebula]

ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT LOL

[heavy heron]

i’m glad you survived

[pure oasis]

now i have to take two weeks break from sports i love

[smoky niche]

at least you can continue with sports

[pure oasis]

thanks, me and my kids are too

[honest latch]

I AM SO FUCKED

[royal bobcat]

Believe in faith

[pure oasis]

not sure yet if i can, they run the EKG + blood test in two weeks to see that there are no new changes

[fringe nebula]

how can you score 33k with that

lol

[pure oasis]

but let's hope

[royal bobcat]

You can use the sort hand feature to figure out a hand surely but yeah idk if it's gonna score 33k

[smoky niche]

true gamble

[knotty zodiac]

prayge

[honest latch]

I DIED

[knotty zodiac]

rip

[fringe nebula]

omg

[smoky niche]

shocker

[stone shell]

i might have to take the mime and skip a bit lol

[honest latch]

Gonna convert my deck to 10s

[stone shell]

its not even that good for scoring but i kinda need more steel triggers due to tarot luck not treating me nicely

scoring wise

oh wait runner is uh

+435 chips from scaling

my straights are 390 at base

[honest latch]

Just went into debt because i was bored

[stone shell]

maybe not worth it then since mime is perishable and if i get more steels i kind of win anyway

[honest latch]

Pretty conflicted on this one

[stone shell]

pretty sure this doesnt win but i got nothin else

well thats depressing

[knotty zodiac]

aw close

[stone shell]

but yeah i think the run couldve won there since i had a glass all the way back that broke because im a dumbass

[shell dagger]

mime would’ve won in this blind at least

[stone shell]

couldve also held my first death for a steel instead of blueseal

[stone shell]

yeah that was a blunder on my part

didnt want to take mime since i didnt feel comfortable skipping with my deck though so idk

[honest latch]

My wheel of fortune luck streak ran out

[stone shell]

overall though i think that game was like mostly carried by trading and a bit of help by superpositon

runner shoutout as well but theyre only like 2x at that point

[knotty zodiac]

hm would you take superpos over rocket again?

[stone shell]

maybe if it wasnt eternal i would

[frank grove]

on painted probably not, but also from the look of the deck it did a good job helping deck fix so

[knotty zodiac]

hm i gotta try superpos a bit more

[stone shell]

its a good joker when you didnt powerlevel your straights enough to one shot by themselves

[frank grove]

yeah

[stone shell]

its comparable to having 2-3 tarots per blind during this run

vagabond esque levels of generation

[stone shell]

keep in mind i had an eternal trading card since uh

hold on

ante 3 boss blind i believe

[frank grove]

wow ok well superpos didnt do all that muich then 😭

[stone shell]

singehandedly removed like 20 cards

[stone shell]

it gave like 3 hanged men i guess

maybe i just value tarots too much but idk

[lapis lion]

i think im starting to like making balatro suggestions but my card art is ASS

[grizzled wraith]

Behold, how I got Sixth Sense, Barron, and Midas Mask Golden Stickered: Completely ignoring them and just uber buffing Wee and hologram.
Gameplay :)

I got Baron from a judgment and went "well you're too late to pivot too since a quarte of my deck has already been devoted to diamond 2 flush fives, might as well keep you though since you're rare and you're holographic.

[eternal pumice]

[upper spade]

Are we deadass?
(I'm back at Red Stake cuz files issues)

[echo sphinx]

damnnn

the lucky might need to go lol

infinite retrigger bushin

[upper spade]

Got to here.

I might live.

Simple money.

[pure oasis]

now i need the luchador

maybe it isn't worth it to sell the DNA and buy the Onyx agate for 0.03% higher change to get it

cursed plant

[vagrant wagon]

A nat negative fr now

[echo sphinx]

and its photograph

damn thats a steal

[pure oasis]

run over, no biggie surprise

needed 2,2 million got 227k playing sixes

chad + level 37 high card

[novel rain]

Chat thoughts on my current pair level?

[fringe nebula]

average blueprint burnt joker/mime blue seal run

[weak relic]

Greasy, oozing and extremely unhealthy pairslop

Imma take another order

[novel rain]

This is how it's looking rn, I gotta deal with Amber Acorn but as long as Erosion is on the left of my xmult jokers I should be fine

[fringe nebula]

i seriously thought i'm going to die until ramen decided to appear lmao

[weak relic]

Vessel?

[novel rain]

I didn't even need Acrobat ToT

[fringe nebula]

boss blind don't matter because i have luchador lol

[novel rain]

Also Purple Stake complete :D

[fringe nebula]

just need more score

[weak relic]

Just asking which boss blind. I mean 3 of em is pretty much does nothing

[fringe nebula]

crimson fart

[weak relic]

According to your build ofc

Oh

Reasonable then

[novel rain]

Should I replace Burnt with Chad? I'm at lvl.36 pair (535x37 base chips & mult)

I mean it's mostly just extra chips, so it doesn't seem that useful

[royal bobcat]

amen the ramen

[random ice]

Got any Glass?

[weak relic]

If you have a glass card then maybe

[random ice]

Glass with Chad is a 37x8

[novel rain]

I have no glass

[random ice]

Any Lucky?

[novel rain]

A couple, but it's a single 2 and a single 4

[weak relic]

Maybe not then

[upper spade]

Fun/

[novel rain]

I've most prominently been using my 2s for scoring highest

[weak relic]

Assuming you dont face the vessel, you probably win that game

[random ice]

Show us your layout

[novel rain]

This is my deck

[fringe nebula]

well, here we go

HSBSHDJHEBEISBSNDJIDBEIDDNNCX

[random ice]

Joker layout too

[novel rain]

This

(I ended up skipping Chad)

[random ice]

Wait you're in Ante 8, what's boss blind

[upper spade]

Level 3 FoaK.
I should be able to win with a little joker switching around.

[random ice]

If it's heart I'd take Chad in case of Xmult disable, then try to find Glass

[novel rain]

I've already beaten it

[random ice]

Ah fair

[novel rain]

Sorry I'm being a little confusing

[weak relic]

Now spam high card

[knotty zodiac]

balatro on tilt best balatro

"oh well im throwing here" turns out to be not-throwing and suddenly im at a8

[fringe nebula]

high card as most played hand is not really good for obelisk

especially when you get the water and then you're forced to play highcard

[knotty zodiac]

what do you set? pair?

[fringe nebula]

pair yeah

[weak relic]

Hmm fair

Tho that's what I did on my obelisk runs and still got away with it

[random ice]

It can work with enough handsize where Pair or Flush (with Checkered) are 100% likely
