[junior urchin]

Baron 100%

It’s all just exponential math

[true cliff]

Try for the standard packs and if they don't have what you want sell trio still steel gives scaling which can be better in the long run.

[molten thicket]

this fool dissing checkered deck burn him at the stake

[hearty flume]

thx for help : )

worth waiting 10 minutes for

[true cliff]

Pun intended?

[midnight talon]

im a checkerd deck MASTER, i won 2 stakes going for the 3rd one

[junior urchin]

3x^1 < (1.5x^(kings))^2

My math is probably bad

[jovial mica]

yay just got aura now im in a predicament

[midnight talon]

what type of math is bro doing 🥀

[cosmic token]

never won jokerless so I might be spouting bs but Id imagine that it relies a lot on planets, and flushes scale terribly

[willow frost]

you could make that decision yourself too

[junior urchin]

Why trio goes for blueprint copying baron

[midnight talon]

oh

lwk dont know

[molten thicket]

on ghost deck i assume?

[jovial mica]

nvm i got +1 consumable slot

[molten thicket]

just sell hex/ankh

oh ok

[jovial mica]

and won the round with +1 chip 😭

deadass 11001

[willow frost]

youve expressed it really weirdly and forgot the polychrome but yes

[fallow flint]

GUYS

I just beat gold stake plasma deck!

[willow frost]

oh shi gg

[molten thicket]

gaminggg

[hard mantle]

roffle has encouraged me to always play through every run even if its not going well

[junior urchin]

So I’m beating the blind but my jokers are unoptimized you’re saying

[hard mantle]

gg

[junior urchin]

Horray

[willow frost]

nah youre doing fine

dw

[bronze maple]

this is the 5th leaf in a row wtf

[junior urchin]

Why not put the blueprint next to the joker slots so you get 10 instead of 5

[hard mantle]

which mind you is a real pain in the ass

[bronze maple]

GGs
thats my next goal

[hard mantle]

i just had to take a fucking eternal gluttonous joker to survive

[jovial mica]

do i sell showman and take burnt

[molten thicket]

then you get 5 empty slots

[bronze maple]

stake?

[jovial mica]

ghost on white

[fallow flint]

Luchador disabled the boss. This was the setup. I got 300 chips on my runners and had an Invisible Joker pretty sure Ante 2 or 3?

[jovial mica]

haven't even unlocked burnt this is the 5th time it's showed up in 2 days

[hard mantle]

THIS RUN IS REALLY NOT FUCKING GOING WELL I HOPE YALL KNOW THIS

[bronze maple]

yeah
you should rarely take ahowman

[molten thicket]

oh my

[jovial mica]

i got 2 halves

thats +40

[bronze maple]

ankh from sixth that'll hit sixth trust

[fallow flint]

What the hell? Two eternal gluttonous?!

[echo sphinx]

fric

[bronze maple]

😭

[hard mantle]

oh thank god i lost

[midnight talon]

sometimes keeping the autistic thoughts up in ur mind is a good option

[hard mantle]

i dont have to play that anymore

[fallow flint]

oof

[hard mantle]

that run was genuinely making me hate balatro

this run is already looking to be abt as bad

the game is refusing to give me the one card i need

[midnight talon]

lwk going to play balatro rn

hopefully good run today

here i go

[jovial mica]

the eye killed my run bc i didn't draw a 2nd king gg

[echo sphinx]

what a start

[hard mantle]

WOOOOO I LOVE LUCKY CARDS

[dense fiber]

is selling invis so crazy here? I wanna hang onto mail in, I think

and it copying mata would be oof

[frank notch]

NOT AGAIN

[echo sphinx]

boy what am i looking at

selling invis kinda 3/4th chance

[dense fiber]

it's not ready to pop, it's 1/2

[frank notch]

ehhhh since its legit ill just get a mod that disabled achievements disabled

[hard mantle]

fml run died coz i couldnt draw one king </3

oh well

BACK INTO LUCKY CARDS

[dense fiber]

I also have a pile of blue seals for planets and constellation

or sack rebate and tank the rental

[midnight talon]

all i need is pareidolia and swashbuckler

[dense fiber]

oh boy I heckin love egg-swashposting

[molten thicket]

why is smiley-parei so glazed by newer players 😭

[cosmic token]

add gift card too

[twin lantern]

All u need is more money

Dont force builds, be willing to change ur strategy at all time

[cosmic token]

cuz it's fun 🥹

[jovial mica]

how does hex and ecto sound

[midnight talon]

PLEASE DUPLICATE SMILEY FACE

[twin lantern]

Because its easy

[molten thicket]

its so insanely mid that it's crazy

[twin lantern]

I HATE the poly sounds

[hard mantle]

i love face cards

[twin lantern]

Face cards are ehh

Like

Idk 5 is my favorite rank

[molten thicket]

i love jacks

[ancient gyro]

i like queens

[twin lantern]

Technically, I think 2 or Qs are the best rank, I just like 5

[molten thicket]

hitting the road forever

[ancient gyro]

and 8s

[stark charm]

Isn’t smiley really bum joker?

[twin lantern]

Actually

[midnight talon]

YES

[twin lantern]

What is the best rank

[turbid dove]

I got this build in ante 4 btw

[stark charm]

I would rather get more eggs

[twin lantern]

Dont mess up

[midnight talon]

no smiley so good, just wait till i get pareidolia

[turbid dove]

Dw

I got like 2b

[stark charm]

Even with pareidolia it only gave you 25 mult

[molten thicket]

but why pareidolia

[twin lantern]

Too be fair

[stark charm]

That too

[twin lantern]

You only need

[molten thicket]

just retrigger it or smth idk

anything but pareidolia

[twin lantern]

Like 30-60mult

Normally

Chips and ×mult way better lol

[midnight talon]

becuease i have 2 smiley face jokers

[molten thicket]

you dont need parei at all for smiley though??

[waxen quartz]

on white stake it's probably fine. higher stakes, you'll lose

[hard mantle]

i know shoot the moon and queens arent as good as baron or anything

BUT

[molten thicket]

just idk deckfix a tiny bit??

[hard mantle]

i have a lot of queens in my deck

[twin lantern]

Peridolia really doesnt do anything for you here except take a slot, bc you already have face cards. Instead of trying to get a .02% of a specific joker you should open packs and fix ur deck

[molten thicket]

swash and hiker gotta go man

[stark charm]

If you go for ante 8 shoot the moon is quite good mult with highcard,pair I think

[frank grove]

also pareidolias one and good use is for econ with parking, business or faceless its not that great at scoring

[midnight talon]

doesnt do anything for me? i have 2 smiley face jokers, if i get pareidolia it would help me with mult

[twin lantern]

Shoot the moon is WAY better than baron LOL

[stark charm]

Look at that burglar tho take your burglar

[hard mantle]

im selling hiker for photograph

actually wait

swash

i can still get value from hiker

[stark charm]

Baron is good for endless

That is kinda its purpose

[frank grove]

this just in

[twin lantern]

No, all pareidolia does is make cards act like face cards. It wouldn't effect ur score at all asl9ng as youre discarding and hand throwing to get powerful hands full of face cards regardless

[twin lantern]

Endless is NOT the purpose of ANY joker

[midnight talon]

ok i dont know what im even doing

[stark charm]

IMO good +mult joker is one that you can easily get 50+ mult

[twin lantern]

._.

Abstract joker like actually a GOAT tho

[true cliff]

...I'm doing a straight run.

[twin lantern]

Gay*

[stark charm]

Very easy 15 mult is great for early game

[hard mantle]

i should start focusing on planets

[tawny ridge]

my GOATs

[twin lantern]

No more straights I hate them. They're called gays now

[midnight talon]

NO

[true cliff]

THE HAND CALLED STRAIGHT

[junior urchin]

Why not

[midnight talon]

PLEASE DONT GIVE ME THE PLANT AS BLIND

[twin lantern]

Call them gays

[molten thicket]

planted

[true cliff]

NO

[twin lantern]

Please

Ill be gay for u if u do

[true cliff]

WE ARE STAYING THE WAY LOCALTHUNK INTENDED

[stark charm]

Naw I am giving yall plant

[molten thicket]

its ok

[fallow flint]

?

[midnight talon]

nvm i already lost 🥀

[true cliff]

?????

[molten thicket]

good early-midgame joker

[junior urchin]

I just called the plant and alerted him to your seed

[stark charm]

How do you win gold stake in black deck?

[twin lantern]

Nah abstract honestly above average because of how ez of use

[true cliff]

I'M A PIECE OF PAPER

[midnight talon]

🥀

[twin lantern]

Practice and intuition

[tawny ridge]

i already lost at ante 10 or 11

[stark charm]

Less hand is so buns

[molten thicket]

did your xmult go to sleep or sth

[true cliff]

"Looks like we found out who the real Joker is!" -Me, 2026

[tawny ridge]

can't get to more than 12 ante for the life of me

[twin lantern]

Yeah, so

[hard mantle]

I GOT LUCKY CAT

FUCK YES

[dire sage]

JIMBO GIVE ME LUCHADOR AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[true cliff]

I DON'T HAVE ANY REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS.

[cosmic token]

why's your smiley after the polychrome

[atomic trout]

I had the same experience

[molten thicket]

doesn't matter

[twin lantern]

Its 2026 youre really surprised?

[molten thicket]

smiley still triggers before poly effect

[true cliff]

Dad- localthunk, give him Luchador on his next run.

[hard mantle]

pain

[twin lantern]

Me

[atomic trout]

Chichot*

[true cliff]

???

[cosmic token]

ah right right

[atomic trout]

High Card fail? How?

[midnight talon]

the psychic, here we meet again 💔

[turbid dove]

Just flush

[dense fiber]

can the ox update mid round?

[latent egret]

nope

[turbid dove]

Remove smiley face if you had something better

[latent egret]

once you see the boss blind itd definitive

[molten thicket]

from the beginning of the ante

[tawny ridge]

too late

[molten thicket]

great if you're pivoting from 1 hand to another

[tawny ridge]

but hey it worked at least

[lyric karma]

No

[jovial mica]

dam

[lyric karma]

i had the same doubt some days ago

[jovial mica]

so you gotta do a boss with a different hand

[hard mantle]

OKAY SO I JUST GOT A BRAINSTORM FROM A JUDGEMENT

[lyric karma]

judgement can also generate legendary jokers?

[woven spire]

no

[hard mantle]

now watch this drive

a

i took an eternal baseball card. probably a bad move, but we ball

[molten thicket]

what if spectral gen had a 0.3% chance of spawning a soul

[calm furnace]

ez pz

[dense fiber]

Oh, not even if I changed the most played in small or big? Interesting, ty

[turbid dove]

Yayyy

[frank notch]

"first win" (27th)

[dense fiber]

gg

[turbid dove]

My first black stake on my phone.

[frank notch]

should i grind one deck until i get gold then move on to the next or win equally so theyre all the same stake?

[willow frost]

whatever keeps you interested

[quartz salmon]

What do I sell? This is my first lucky cat build and I’m inexperienced so advice would be helpful

[frank notch]

idc about interest which ones the most efficient

[willow frost]

doing them all one stake at a time

[willow frost]

this is a problem for me which is why i said it

[ancient gyro]

interest makes you play better

[frank notch]

true....

[wintry ice]

eh not really you have carto and rocket

[molten thicket]

you might need to skip

yeah

[quartz salmon]

Wait really?

[humble gulch]

"I'd like one death, please"

[molten thicket]

i think so? there's nothing you can sell

[lofty vault]

Sun tarot upon thee

[molten thicket]

ideally youd sell chad but its eternal

[twin lantern]

Photo

[quartz salmon]

Huh ok this might be my first time skipping blueprint

[molten thicket]

selling photo might be deadly but you can try

[twin lantern]

Just copy the lucky cat

They have dice cat and its ante 10

They have to be higher than 8×

By now

[molten thicket]

how big is the cat

[twin lantern]

Honestly regardless of what they do

They're gonna die ante 12

Anyway

Bc thats just how endless is

[molten thicket]

yea

[compact gazelle]

16x

[twin lantern]

I never play antes 9-39

Shits lame

[molten thicket]

90% of builds don't get past a12/13

[hard mantle]

wheel of fortune made my shoot the moon foil </3

[twin lantern]

Honestly though I REALLY do like the idea that blue stake should be +1 ante needed to win

[lofty vault]

Chips

[faint linden]

Highest I've ever made it is Ante 11

[molten thicket]

do NOT diss my brainrot mode thank you

[hard mantle]

i know but like

[compact gazelle]

give me one endless white stake op build run to like
unlock some stuff without needing to do specific things to hunt for it

[hard mantle]

id rather polychrome

[lofty vault]

Chips

[frank notch]

poly mike just expired what do i take

[twin lantern]

Idk, I did c++ and now I have like a million different unlock all files

[hard mantle]

chips arent that good m8

[twin lantern]

Idek which one is the c++ anymore

[molten thicket]

how is son this broke on white stake 😭

[lofty vault]

What do you mean -15

[frank notch]

credit card

[compact gazelle]

yea
i think its just the onetime endless for liquidation(?) that i did

[shell dagger]

Foil stm lets you play hc immediately

[lofty vault]

The debt collectors gonna break your knees

[frank notch]

what do i take

[twin lantern]

Chips are ALWAYS 50% of your score

They're not just good

[frank notch]

wall upcoming bte

btw

[twin lantern]

Theyre essential for MOST builds

[waxen quartz]

what's the boss? maybe matador = positive $?

[compact gazelle]

matador for money unless you’re not keeping up with scoring then ice cream

[hard mantle]

damn, polychrome looks so good

[hard mantle]

you're missing the point

i have other ways to get chips

[frank notch]

matador i dont think is compatible with wall

[hard mantle]

id have rathered my stm be polychrome

[willow frost]

mfw my mult is 2:

[frank notch]

so it would be useless

[molten thicket]

yeah

[compact gazelle]

ok and you don’t get to choose wheel spins

[noble ermine]

what are your go-to strategies for jokerless runs?

[twin lantern]

Its not mathatically 50% its mechanically 50%

[hard mantle]

...yeah? i feel like yall are making this something it isnt lol

[wintry ice]

i'd rather have blackboard than runner...

[hard mantle]

i said i wish it wasnt foil, and it became a massive argument for no apparent reason

[frank notch]

madness doesnt kill on boss blinds and turtle doesnt do much

[twin lantern]

^

[waxen quartz]

blue seal, glass/steel

[frank notch]

with my build

[humble gulch]

Oh, hi, Canio

[molten thicket]

matador only works with like debuffed cards

[compact gazelle]

saturn
comfortably over level 30 without scope, and glass cards in deck in case of vessel

[frank notch]

ill take icecream 4 now

[molten thicket]

synergy

[noble ermine]

I have such bad luck with glass it's insane

[willow frost]

glass

[twin lantern]

He works on mouth, eye and arm too

[molten thicket]

does he work on like hook

[noble ermine]

steel, glass, saturn?

[frank notch]

totally unexpected outcome

[twin lantern]

Maybe idr

[compact gazelle]

should almost double your scoring so wall ought to be fine

[frank notch]

it wasnt

[willow frost]

average credit card run:

[woven spire]

-19 on white stake

[compact gazelle]

lmao

[grand barn]

I just watched the video how you can get naneinf. But like why can't you store the number like this

enum Number {
 Smol(u64),
 Big {
    base: f32,
    e: u64
 }
}

(Of course not exactly like this bc it's in lua but you got the idea)
That would allow extremely large numbers. It would truncate some fractions but who cares abt them

[frank notch]

i just use credit card lol

[willow frost]

what is this

[grand barn]

Suggestion for a way to store numbers

[willow frost]

how does it work

[random ice]

I have plans, weird plans

[twin lantern]

Because a game that goes past ante 39 would take forever and there isnt a point for planning that far ahead lol

[molten thicket]

maybe but its thunk hes not known for elegant coding

[willow frost]

also i think the reason naneinf is reachable is because thunk didnt think people would score that high

[woven spire]

true

[grand barn]

If the number is smol, it's treated as a normal number. If it's big it's stored as a base and multiplier

[compact gazelle]

S tier Xmult in the same build as D- tier Xmult was not on my bingo card today

[willow frost]

interesting

[grand barn]

If you have a game with exponential growth, you should expect that

[random ice]

1.25X is 1.25X

[molten thicket]

did you pull these joker tiers out of thin air

[hard mantle]

this build is going so well

[compact gazelle]

solution seems obvious to me
rework every naneinf method to kill the concept and invalidate runs far past the antes displayed on the blind collection

[compact gazelle]

nah

[sullen aspen]

wouldn't baseball be a better copy?

or no

[willow frost]

tbh i wouldnt have expected a game with 5 joker slots and a maximum feasible xmult value on jokers of like Xe2 to hit e308 either

[random ice]

Ok so, I'm going to skip all of Ante 8

Sell Jokers in Leaf

And dupe my eternal Xmult

[grand barn]

Look, people are capable of running doom on a pregnancy test

[compact gazelle]

ankh hits throwback a billion times

[frank notch]

photochad without photo

[hard mantle]

wait would it?

[vale wharf]

Chat, is there any point in trying to do C++ before update 1.1? I would like to do it, but I want to know what the big changes will be

[sullen aspen]

yeahhhh

it would

[grand barn]

They'll figure out everything eventually

[compact gazelle]

yes
2.25x

[hard mantle]

sick thx

[frank notch]

serpent will be debuffed

[grand barn]

Especially if you give them an addictive game

[sullen aspen]

stm is a times 2 while baseball is 2.25

[vale wharf]

This is a joke, right?

[sullen aspen]

not even times 2

[vale wharf]

Hmm?

[random ice]

Let's go lmao

[sullen aspen]

free win now surely

[random ice]

Lmao one shot

Beautiful run

That's truly some Perkeo bullshit

[grand barn]

It isn't

Let me find it

[hard mantle]

straight up carding it

[willow frost]

well, not everything

omeganum which is used for cryptid will never be broken by current cryptid jokers
so i guess if localthunk used omeganum the problem would go away

[hard mantle]

I SCORED ONE MILLION IN ONE HAND :D

[willow frost]

nice

[hard mantle]

oh god easily

[random ice]

Me and the boys having a camping party in 1983

[spring granite]

dude codes better than most triple A companies

[vale wharf]

Nice! Now go higher 🔥

[grand barn]

I don't get why the joker is rare tbh

[random ice]

This is one of my favorite runs now lmao

[hard mantle]

yk i wasnt planning on doing endless but

why not

[random ice]

Campfire is very strong

[grand barn]

Maybe idk how to play with it

[willow frost]

get the tarot and planet vouchers

[grand barn]

Like it always resets

[molten thicket]

campfire is insane esp with tarots/planets/rentals

and the discount voucher

clearance sale?

[spring granite]

i hate rentals so i love campfire

[willow frost]

and liquidation

[grand barn]

Wdym by rental

[frank notch]

do i take steel here

[echo sphinx]

the balatro gods have answered this challenge deck

[compact gazelle]

gold stake adds a chance for jokers to have a rental sticker
they buy and sell for $1 and cost you $3 a round

[grand barn]

Oh damn

[echo sphinx]

plasma speedrun for merry andy is a fake when this deck is literally do or die TRUE

[molten thicket]

if you buy a rental joker and sell it you don't lose any money + 0.25x scaling

[hard mantle]

violet vessel is fucking dead

[grand barn]

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a33957256/this-programmer-figured-out-how-to-play-doom-on-a-pregnancy-test/

[vale wharf]

What in the fuck

[hard mantle]

CHAT
CHAT

CHAT

WHEEL OF FUCKING FORTUNE!!!!!

[compact gazelle]

never doubt the ability of programmers to put doom on things with interfaces
its like the original bad apple

[burnt drift]

like, u subscribe and ill make a post saying ty for 100subs and tag ur name

[grand barn]

Stop advertising

[burnt drift]

cuz ur the 100th sub

[grand barn]

And?

[cosmic token]

which tag we talking

[burnt drift]

im talking to someone im not making an ad

[molten thicket]

talk in dms or smth

[vale wharf]

I didn't know they would go THIS far. That's insane

[burnt drift]

yea right sry

[cosmic token]

not a single balatro vid in sight 😭

[burnt drift]

there is a speedrun

[compact gazelle]

if it can add 1 plus 1 it can run doom
that’s their mentality

[burnt drift]

the shittyest speedrun oat

9 min

ToT

[vale wharf]

Can someone give me a single reason to do C++ before 1.1?
If there's no real reason, I'll keep grinding Celeste, Hollow Knight and Hades

[livid scroll]

yeah i know i was making a balatro joke

you know what pal, i'll do it for you

[burnt drift]

thx (:

[compact gazelle]

because 1.1 isn’t coming out for a good while

[cosmic token]

if I subscribe which tag are you giving me

[frank notch]

Serpent will be nerfed in 1.1, its better to do it now

[grand barn]

What about rust

[burnt drift]

its not something big

[grand barn]

Stop begging

[compact gazelle]

???
serpents not getting nerfed it’s just getting a rework to not enable naneinf builds

[vale wharf]

I mean, other than that. When I ask for a reason, I want to know whether I will be missing out on the old version of the game before it's gone

[burnt drift]

I MEAN... ITS NOT SOMETHING BIG, ILL JUST TAG YOU, IM NOT POPULA, IM NOT SAYING ITS NOT DIFFICULT TO SUB

[burnt drift]

like bro try reading

[cosmic token]

so... a nerf

[vale wharf]

I don't understand what you're saying 🫠

[compact gazelle]

you won’t be missing out on anything big no

[grand barn]

Like bro don't call me a bro

[burnt drift]

xddd

[vale wharf]

Ok, that puts me at ease. Thanks

[burnt drift]

wait, did u sub

?

[livid scroll]

yes.

[compact gazelle]

no, not a nerf or buff confirmed
whether the boss enables naneinf is entirely separate from whether it’s a strong boss

[cosmic token]

dawg stop advertising ✌️

[vale wharf]

What does that mea- oh, I get it lol

[hard mantle]

im on ante 10 :3

[burnt drift]

thx

[burnt drift]

whats ur YT?

[frank notch]

serpent buffs your build usually but in 1.1 it will not do this. its a nerf

[compact gazelle]

indeed
no fun allowed :3

[burnt drift]

im almost done stop trying to kick me out

im not even advertising myself ToT

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[frank notch]

[burnt drift]

its peak wdym

[livid scroll]

@ThePerfectHandle

corny ahh handle i know

[burnt drift]

nah its ok

[compact gazelle]

it no longer being a route to naneinf has no bearing on how strong of a boss it is

[vale wharf]

Oh, I think that's what they mean as a nerf lol
That we won't be able to naneinf as easily

[burnt drift]

ok bye gng

[wintry ice]

posts channel and asks to sub
"i'm not even advertising myself"

[livid scroll]

have a nice day pal

consider not advertising next time though

[wintry ice]

kenjaku.png

[cosmic token]

what I'm saying is that serpent is bad at being a boss blind but good to get, if thunk reworks it then he's surely removing the thing that made it good (getting more cards in hand) so it'll indeed not get a "buff" or a "nerf" but from a player's stand point then it'll be worse, idk if this made sense I'm genuinely sleep deprived

[burnt drift]

i DM u

[compact gazelle]

aaand
that has zero actual effect on the game, because naneinf isn’t relevant at all
yes I get what they’re saying, they’re just wrong

[livid scroll]

wait here or on the tube

[molten thicket]

so just word it as like "serpent is being nerfed for high score runs"

[burnt drift]

ok

[molten thicket]

and do NOT diss my naneinf

[compact gazelle]

my point is the serpent rework could make it easier in a completely different way for all we know

[hard mantle]

i think i die at ante 12

[compact gazelle]

just because it’s no longer abusable for naneinf does not mean it’s weaker or stronger after the changes

[hard mantle]

or honestly

[molten thicket]

don't we know what the serpent rework is already

[hard mantle]

i probably die at ante 11

[compact gazelle]

idk
all I know we know is the serpent rework will prevent it from being used in naneinf

[hard mantle]

it's been an honor everyone

[compact gazelle]

I will continue to do that thank you very much

[burnt drift]

@livid scroll

[livid scroll]

what up now

[molten thicket]

as a high score player i get why serpent is being reworked but man it makes me sad that naneinf's gonna basically require perkeo now

[cosmic token]

chat I haven't slept in 2 days i don't even know what I'm saying anymore 💔

[burnt drift]

accept DM

[molten thicket]

curse of the joker game

[waxen quartz]

handy tag

[livid scroll]

ah ffs i'm not getting the notif anymore

[willow frost]

ngl the serpent is a blessing even in ante 8, the opposite of a boss

[livid scroll]

done

[molten thicket]

juggle tag?

[waxen quartz]

ya that. not sure what else would work though

[compact gazelle]

serpents easier than no boss blind 99% of the time

[willow frost]

yes

[molten thicket]

yeah thats probably the main way to get perkeoless naneinf without serpent/crimson bean bug

[compact gazelle]

although it does put a hard limit on how many cards you get to see in a round
so sometimes hampers digging for value gens
but rarely ever gonna affect your hand draws

[waxen quartz]

requires the similar things, can be done ante 24...not being able to skip when you want is annoying though

[cosmic token]

I will build an army of chicots and go against the manacle

[wintry ice]

i think thunk himself said it'll be changed to "only draw up to 3 cards at a time"

[lost vault]

ehh

[wintry ice]

instead of it being 3 even if you discard a random 4 or something

[hard mantle]

are you fucking kidding me

[lost vault]

its not hard but its not always a good thing

[livid scroll]

vietnam throwbacks

[molten thicket]

its supposed to counter deck digging and big hands but it kinda sucks at doing that

[compact gazelle]

ofc not
I did say it gets in the way of deck value gens

[waxen quartz]

serpent will still punish larger hands and not having a perfectly built deck yet

[wintry ice]

serpent has denied value generation more than it helped

[willow frost]

this is a real boss blind

[lost vault]

perchance

[hard mantle]

im restarting that run i think

[wintry ice]

good god this wifi sucks

[hard mantle]

i dont wanna do another STM run

[gaunt temple]

is it worth getting dusk?

[molten thicket]

naaaaaa

[waxen quartz]

no

[compact gazelle]

what non negative would dusk be better than

[cosmic token]

why does negative egg look so evil

[frank notch]

what do i sell 4 brainstorm

[compact gazelle]

possessed

[gaunt temple]

also yes that negative egg is natural

[waxen quartz]

don't think there is one

[compact gazelle]

correct :3

[twin lantern]

No

[molten thicket]

splash

[waxen quartz]

bad phrasing. dusk isn't an improvement, but nothing really is

[humble gulch]

Five new stickers

[hard mantle]

i guess im doing a flush build...?

i feel gross just saying that

[compact gazelle]

splish splash

[hard mantle]

i got an early tribe from a buffoon pack

[waxen quartz]

flouse or fl5

[molten thicket]

flouse lol

[hard mantle]

was probably the plan

i want to do fl5 lucky cards

[molten thicket]

ive never seen flush house abbreviated to flouse

[compact gazelle]

cursed parallel universe articles of clothing

[cosmic token]

love myself some flouse

[frank notch]

lolll nat negative in first shop but for a useless joker

[hard mantle]

would you rather fluse

[twin lantern]

Flouse is easier to build for but fl5 has better scaling, but both of them are insane and only need 1-2 levels to be at the average hand level scoring amount

[hard mantle]

pronounced like "fussy"

[compact gazelle]

or maybe a cursed parallel universe dessert

[molten thicket]

id rather flush house???

[hard mantle]

WHAT THE FUCK IS MY LUCK TODAY

[cosmic token]

chat should I do a strush build

[hard mantle]

ANOTHER BRAINSTORM FROM A JUDGEMENT

[livid scroll]

that's not useless

[twin lantern]

No

[compact gazelle]

flush house also wins on mult scaling so there’s that

not like you’re in need of either chips or mult with those hand types

[twin lantern]

Mult scaling is not important for hands

[frank notch]

it does has its uses but generally its not a good pickup as it only affects a few select blinds

[twin lantern]

Only in some cases it matters

[frank notch]

do i pick it up or no

[compact gazelle]

it’s not unimportant either lol

[livid scroll]

well, negatives are negatives

[lost vault]

money is money

[livid scroll]

it's just a matter of triggering it twice and you'll have a 4 doublons profit already

[twin lantern]

Like if youre doing flouses for mult its because youre doing a 5card post game strategy for a highscore run

Like

[compact gazelle]

did I ever say you were wrong

[waxen quartz]

na, high score is uniform deck. other things are too annoying, can fail to draw what you need

[compact gazelle]

it’s just a matter of like
cool I don’t need a mult joker vs ok I need a mult joker

and
“can I spam trigger xmult”

[frail ingot]

Just got brainstorm and Blueprint in ante 1

[lost vault]

miaw :3

[hard mantle]

never fuckin mind

i hate flush builds so fucking much

[cosmic token]

chat I need a coach or something I'm so unbelievably ass at this game 💔

[lost vault]

just get perkeo and blue print and brainstorm and baron and mime in ante 1

[frank notch]

matador indebted me too much to get any scoring and i didnt get lucky with the card draw

[frail ingot]

Sorry for breathing same air as you

[lost vault]

nya

[frail ingot]

It's the only build i play

Idk how to play anything else

[compact gazelle]

and ecto and antimatter and

[cosmic token]

winning the lottery would be easier than that

[lost vault]

branch out

play pairs ❤️‍🩹

[frail ingot]

Teach me

[lost vault]

1500 naturally negative blueprints

[cosmic token]

I'm a full house fein I can't even lie

[lost vault]

green joker bus nova

[compact gazelle]

if you can figure out how to play ride the bus or green joker or supernova you can figure out how to play lobotomy pair spam

[molten thicket]

just play pairs

[lost vault]

full houses lowkey suck too hard to play for 25 chips and 2 mult per level

[molten thicket]

will be collecting my coach fee thank you

[wintry ice]

does the boss trigger it

[smoky merlin]

No self promotion

[frank notch]

play pairs fella

[twin lantern]

Nah its just that hand mult only matters when your jokers activate on scored rather than after cards played

[lost vault]

hello moderator

[frank notch]

it was the hook and i lost it so it doesnt matter

[frail ingot]

It's about What jokers u get in the run after all

[livid scroll]

i think i was wrong then

[compact gazelle]

which are generally bad
yup

[livid scroll]

sorry bout that

[cosmic token]

I wanted to type flouse for the joke but my brain is genuinely melting as we speak

[wintry ice]

you don't really run scaling +mult with flouse or flive anyways

[twin lantern]

My cat peed on my floor :(

[wintry ice]

you want to transition to xmult for it

[gaunt temple]

well this is the end...should i o7 and sell my egg and die rich?

[wintry ice]

mf isn't litter trained

[compact gazelle]

don’t own cats then

[twin lantern]

But i love him

[ancient gyro]

feline issue

[wintry ice]

that's equal to death wth

[molten thicket]

damn i gotta go i just got an 8sub disk drive

[hard mantle]

if this spectral isnt crazy good this run is dead lol

[twin lantern]

Cats > heterosexuals

[compact gazelle]

just live
ez

[frail ingot]

Be rich or die trying to

[hard mantle]

.... i guess a polychrome jolly joker could be worse....

[waxen quartz]

oops, thought the joker layout looked weird. should have had a copy on sock

[twin lantern]

Jolly joker is good

Enough

[gaunt temple]

i died poor also funny number (this was early in the run)

[lost vault]

sell everything but egg

:3

[gaunt temple]

too much glass broke so i lost

[compact gazelle]

276 points too many

[cosmic token]

cats are the worse (I say while my 6 cats claw away at my couch)

What Are the uses of perkeo

[livid scroll]

ceremonial dagger synergy

[twin lantern]

To clone consumables

[ancient gyro]

consumable gen

[lost vault]

:3 when :4

[frail ingot]

Which Ones

[lost vault]

perkeoing it

[mystic vale]

this is the worst build of all time 😭

[twin lantern]

All

[ancient gyro]

whichever you desire

[lost vault]

the good ones

[twin lantern]

Anyone you need

[wintry ice]

2 on sock 1 on trib assuming idol is active

[frail ingot]

I mean What are the best Ones

[cosmic token]

the more familiar he'll get the more you'll see dead rats in your house 🙂‍↕️

[lost vault]

depends

[twin lantern]

Perkeo is the best consumable generator because you get to choose what you get

[frail ingot]

[waxen quartz]

perkeo = how do you feel like breaking the game right now? usually start with $, then deckfix, then your endgame card(s)

[ancient gyro]

can range from death to temp to hangmen to uranus to immolate to whatever

[hard mantle]

this could be worse

[lost vault]

better than alive rats i reckon

[ancient gyro]

depends

[twin lantern]

Generally hermet/temperance/main planet youre using. But you can also use it for tarots to hyper fix ur deck

[sacred maple]

Mainly to constantly get the planet card for the hand combination you play the most, or to constantly get a super useful tarot card, there are super niche uses tho that completely break the run.

[cosmic token]

oh they bring those too 🥹

[true thunder]

painful balatro images

[lost vault]

contantly gettung a planet card for the hand you play is a very mid use of perke

[wintry ice]

perkeo temperance and perkeo death are both fun

[lost vault]

imo

perkeo death is cool

[ancient gyro]

fool is a decent versatile option where you get to choose what's upstairs

[lost vault]

its like having a dna and a trading card

[frail ingot]

When

[wintry ice]

well they did win

[lost vault]

you get to copy cards

[twin lantern]

Did you ever try perkeo immolate

[compact gazelle]

“we have a seal for that”

[cosmic token]

since were on the topic of cats, I recently adopted 2 kittens and I wanted to name one of them perkeo for the funsies but my mom said no 💔

[mystic vale]

gros michel died on the first round 😢

[twin lantern]

Or perkeo wraith

[lost vault]

truke

[wintry ice]

no

[lost vault]

laaame

[true thunder]

maxwell and Charlie are LAUGHING at me for this

[wintry ice]

wraithkeo sounds good specifically for gold stickers

[twin lantern]

You should try next time,

Its

More fun than death perkeo

[ancient gyro]

well

[keen pilot]

The consumables with most endless game potential if copied by Perkeo are planets (only with observatory), or spectrals, like cryptids, or ankhs with ectos

[cosmic token]

we got this sweets theming so they're cheesecake and tiramisu now... perkeo would've been miles better

[lost vault]

snore

[twin lantern]

From DST?

[wintry ice]

or just ankh with stuntman

[true thunder]

yeah, the king and queen of spades

[twin lantern]

Too bad endless is ass tho

[keen pilot]

balatro is a game about math.

[true thunder]

My build was basically filled with them

[lost vault]

me when i lie

[livid scroll]

you could use those 77 doublons to roll into something

[lost vault]

i rarely do math in balatro

most of the time its vibes

[ancient gyro]

or good intuition

[twin lantern]

Lmao, rip DST

[true thunder]

I actually only got this game because I got hooked on the mini game in DST via the crossover

[hard mantle]

HOW AM I AT ANTE 5 WHAT

[wintry ice]

i use math to see how much i can greed

[cosmic token]

5% math 95% "random bullshit go!"

[keen pilot]

lul

[true thunder]

Btw I'm playing this game semi-blind, it took me a while to figure out cards can multiply your mult and you can manually sort cards for death or ceremonial knife

[lost vault]

pretty much

[frail ingot]

So is this a pair build run

[lost vault]

for me its like

[twin lantern]

I played Dont starve before DST came out. Unfortunately I got dis-intetested in DST

[lost vault]

what did i score last round and what did i get this round that could change that

[compact gazelle]

feat. math applied when I feel like it

[lost vault]

then i approximate

[true thunder]

that's a shame dst is really fun despite what people will tell you

[hard mantle]

nvm, ded </3

[molten thicket]

mathing in balatro is lowkey crazy

[twin lantern]

If youre pulling out a calculator for balatro youre handi-capping your own learning curve

[cosmic token]

live footage of me after ante 5

[lost vault]

who would play balatro just to do mayh smh

math

gyat

[compact gazelle]

learn first then you can minmax if that suits you

[true thunder]

I saw a little bit of a video where they were saying pairs is unbalanced, I guess I could see where there coming from but I share a stronger sentiment towards flushes

[ancient gyro]

we have elementary school as a supplemental option

[twin lantern]

Flushes are bad ._.

[livid scroll]

oops all 6es and magician synergy

[ancient gyro]

until it's not

[true thunder]

And I have done them to a point where I can't stand doing them anymore lowk

[lost vault]

thank you mods

[strange compass]

Ante 6 with 5 commons

Playing chip slop

[frail ingot]

Me too i play flushes like always but They Said to try something else

[twin lantern]

Common jokers are good

Rarity =/= quality

[lost vault]

i mean do what you like, flushes just arent a very strong hand and will disappoint you later on

[ancient gyro]

baby steps

[true thunder]

I like doing straights more

[twin lantern]

Rarity only effects how often you use it. Its not reflective of how good a joker it

[waxen quartz]

wait I want to change my answer. it's not what perkeo can do, it's what perkeo can't do: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1156721486288126023/1279262982416896092/Screenshot_20240830_221403.png?ex=69aed5be&is=69ad843e&hm=9d06798bc6063da81bd3f1bcfb08109204e26e798e8cb342cd3444a32fddd060&

[true thunder]

I'm sure flushes aren't the best hand but it's like the low-hanging fruit hand

[strange compass]

The ones I am using are just fine tho

[keen pilot]

The problem is, if you run out of score, you can't guarantee another flush
But you can almost always draw a pair

[molten thicket]

what did you do to my eyes

[twin lantern]

Yeah thats why theyre bad, theyre essentially a noob trap

[lost vault]

yuh

[twin lantern]

Theyre easy, but scale slowly and aren't spammable

[ancient gyro]

not to mention the boss blinds

[lost vault]

theyre the garlic of balatro

[cosmic token]

his greed sickens me

[lost vault]

feels really good but falls off quickly

[ancient gyro]

I wouldn't say that

[true thunder]

exactly yeah, I couldn't think of the words, thank you

[molten thicket]

that analogy doesn't work..

[lost vault]

(vampire survivors not pvz)

[wintry ice]

well garlic has earlygame use

[strange compass]

Man this lowkey makes me never wanna play this game

[true thunder]

Garlic is a cooking noob trap? Lmao

[lost vault]

so does flush

[cosmic token]

garlic is always good

[true thunder]

That's funny I like that

[wintry ice]

yeah

[lost vault]

vanpire survivors

[keen pilot]

gold

[hasty pivot]

Bro I found this run unseeded

[lost vault]

not really

[wintry ice]

the knockback vulnerabily also helps sometimes

[rancid gull]

Flush is useful for one shotting small blind

[ancient gyro]

never giving you ppl cooking lessons at 6

[lost vault]

id rather have like any other weapon

[rancid gull]

That’s about it

[wintry ice]

knockboard?????

[lost vault]

knockback is cool i guess

but is it worth a whole weapon slot

idk

[hasty pivot]

My deck is full of heart polychrome steel repeat kings

But Todd is kinda eh rn

[cosmic token]

to each their own brototype ❤️‍🩹

[true thunder]

oh yeah since I got into balatro because of DST, I assumed there was going to be jokers based on don't starve, i was a little sadge to see they were only cosmetic

Does this mean games like among us or rust also got crossover updates with balatro?

[lost vault]

yeah you keep your chip damage 💖

[wintry ice]

all of balatro's collabs have been cosmetic

[rancid gull]

Crossover jokers would be a cool idea

[true thunder]

No right? SDV doesn't have anything balatro related either

[livid scroll]

should i switch to high card?

[rancid gull]

Give me the critical role joker

I really want the critical role joker

[hard mantle]

i cant escape it

[lost vault]

among us did yes

[true thunder]

lmfao what is this deck 😭

[hard mantle]

it wont leave me alone

[rancid gull]

The critical role hearts cards never stay off

[hard mantle]

ride the bus heaven

[wintry ice]

[livid scroll]

crazy erosion value

[lost vault]

the best deck for anything but pairs

its still good woth pairs though

[rancid gull]

Erosion doesn’t work like that on abandoned

[ancient gyro]

not exclusive with that deck btw

[lost vault]

it works like how it normally does

[livid scroll]

doesn't it?

didn't know

[true thunder]

Oh yeah it removes the face cards, it doesn't replace them with anything

[lost vault]

a flat 48 mult joker would ve insane

[rancid gull]

You don’t get mult because it’s less than 52, you get mult after 40

[lost vault]

so no jt doesnt

[ancient gyro]

and unintuitive

[strange compass]

Hmph

[lost vault]

erosion is just as good on avandoned as it is on everything else

[cosmic token]

I don't get what you meant so thank you brotatochip 🥹✌️

[manic vault]

vibin with some good jokers

[lost vault]

i mean garlic does like no damage

"destroy every card when blind is selected"

rika lookin ah

[hasty pivot]

Idk I don’t think I should tbh

[lost vault]

i was always talking avour vampire survivors garlic

[twin lantern]

Nah, DST gonna slowly die like most other games like it. Its just that the devs cant figure out any cool interesting ways to kick ur ass so they just keep adding more end game bosses

[lost vault]

it is better than brainstorm

[hasty pivot]

Is it better than polychrome brainstorm?

[cosmic token]

chat am I high

[lost vault]

yes

[twin lantern]

Dont starve has no combat system it was never meant to be a boss rush game

[rancid gull]

Also if you can copy bloodstone and the retriggers tbat would be good

[keen pilot]

x0.2 to constellation, +14 bucks, or +3 mult

[lost vault]

you get to copy vetter with lueprint

[keen pilot]

ig 14 bucks is the safe option

They do add
