[median grove]

that would be good to replace wee joker right?

[wintry ice]

if you don't die after selling it yea

[median grove]

and do you think plasma deck, or my run specifically, favors + flat mult or xmult?

[wintry ice]

plasma makes +mult jokers worse

[median grove]

okay gotcha

[humble gulch]

Bruh

[wintry ice]

the good ones no longer carry the earlygame

[median grove]

maybe i want drivers license or something

[rancid gull]

average throwback L

I'm sorry man

[wintry ice]

so they become useful when you already have xmult

but you should already have some planet levels then

[median grove]

yes

so are rtb and green and red card all worse?

in plasma

[humble gulch]

WHAT? SORRY? PARDON ME?

[ancient gyro]

uh oh

[humble gulch]

Max economy too 💔

[rancid gull]

YESSSS 0 dollar buffoon pack!!!

[wintry ice]

do i turn this into glass to potentially move out of bus

[pliant jewel]

can someone teach me how to glass in gold stake runs

[humble gulch]

We're going erotion

[pliant jewel]

most of the time my mult comes from jokers so glass feels bad

[rancid gull]

glass works with planet levels

[ancient gyro]

have a consistent planet gen source

[rancid gull]

if you're blue sealing it up

glass is nice

photo chad works well with glass

[pliant jewel]

but then i would just play pairs if i had blue seals

[rancid gull]

pairs are optimal for photo chad glass

if you're playing a 5 card hand in general that's leveled up

[humble gulch]

HUH???

[rancid gull]

glass is nice too

especially with retriggers

Straights with glass

mmm mmm mmmm

[median grove]

is flower pot a good wee replacement here?

[waxen dagger]

which deck should i do next

[wintry ice]

wait

[pliant jewel]

ive been watching too much balatro multiplayer lately so that might have influenced me to think that you need like 4 glass for it to work

[rancid gull]

i think u should do magic

[wintry ice]

guh i need to throw away a blue seal if i want to play pairs

[rancid gull]

if you haven't already

[median grove]

on plasma?

[humble gulch]

So...

What now?

[rancid gull]

holy shit dude

[median grove]

worth replacing wee with flower pot?

[wintry ice]

@ancient gyro do i just play a 4oak for emergency mars

[median grove]

or is flower pot a mid xmult

[pliant jewel]

flower pot sucks

like not even mid

it's at the bottom

[median grove]

yeah thata what i figured

[rancid gull]

flower pot not very fun to play around

[wintry ice]

flower pot is very unreliable

[rancid gull]

imo

[median grove]

why is this good? besides blueprint brainstorm

[median grove]

oaky ty

[humble gulch]

+250 chips from stuntman

[wintry ice]

they have a good chips and +mult source alongside that

[pliant jewel]

erosion isnt doing much but stuntman is really nice for hc builds

[wintry ice]

they're pretty much all set once they find xmult

[median grove]

oh true i guess + 500 mult on ante 3 is insane

[median grove]

so if they got trading card that would be very good right

[bold gyro]

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between +mult and xmult?

[pliant jewel]

it says

in the joker

[humble gulch]

So, +15 levels

[fringe nebula]

i have memorized every single joker in this game, so i can't help you for this one

[pliant jewel]

are you sure about that
https://www.sporcle.com/games/epictho/balatro-jokers

i challenge thee

[wintry ice]

very easily

[frank notch]

17 joker run

[pliant jewel]

oh xmult has white numbers and a red background

[bold gyro]

I get that some mults add to the red and some multiply it but how can I quickly tell which

[pliant jewel]

ive

never noticed that

[bold gyro]

oh ok thanks

[pliant jewel]

uh no thats not a good way to tell

[humble gulch]

...

[bold gyro]

I'm def going to need to refer to this pic a lot as I learn this game

[pliant jewel]

xmult says something like "X2" and +mult says "+20"

[rancid gull]

currently taking the quiz

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

reading the cards in your game will be just as effective for learning purposes

[bold gyro]

I'm starting to get the hang of +mult....so anything above 18 or 20 ish seems "good" and if I get supernova or whatever that gets me 35+ that's great. the +10-15mults don't seem good to me anymore lol.

So what is considered an xmult worth buying like at what multiplyer is it considered "good" ?

[pliant jewel]

well most xmult are just good

[quaint spire]

where would blueprint fit in this? im running a stm mime pair build

[wraith slate]

house does so much when your entire deck is in your hand and therefore you know where every card is lmao

[pliant jewel]

aside from like flower pot but thats not because its xmult is low

[wraith slate]

switch for supernova

[wraith slate]

you already have mult from stm

[turbid smelt]

How can i optimize my run for naninf

[quaint spire]

ok should it copy stm?

[median grove]

fuck i didnt reroll the pillar lol

ggg

im so stupid!

[humble gulch]

I'm dying

[wraith slate]

probably better to copy mime tbh for more mult, depends on how fixed your deck is

[turbid smelt]

Sell chicot

[median grove]

wow so what will you get rid of? erosion?

[humble gulch]

Look at my pause menu

[turbid smelt]

Look at the sticker on the top right

[frank notch]

whats special about it]

[pliant jewel]

you mean top left

top right is the gold sticker

[median grove]

oh dang

any tips on how i can improve my lucky 2 run?

[wraith slate]

oh only 4 queens, uhhh, maybe shoulda sold hanging chad instead

[quaint spire]

damn that sucks

[median grove]

should i just look for oops! and dusk?

[pastel hatch]

id say thats a pretty decent gold stake run

(i got baron mime going)

(prob couldve been higher)

[turbid smelt]

Do I take sock?

[humble gulch]

Wrong image, lol

[turbid smelt]

Math people help

[humble gulch]

Sold blueprint for a sticker

[humble gulch]

Yes

[rancid gull]

so real

[turbid smelt]

For?

[median grove]

any help with my lucky cat run?

im scoring so low!

[humble gulch]

Photo

[median grove]

but maybe there is just a cap on how good these jokers are?

[turbid smelt]

I have Chad

[humble gulch]

And?

[turbid smelt]

R u sure

[pastel hatch]

why do you need math for that

[turbid smelt]

Highest xmult possible on flushf

[pliant jewel]

sock retriggers 5 times

chad retriggers 2

[quaint spire]

should i sell hanging chad for invisible joker?

[turbid smelt]

I have two photos

[humble gulch]

I'm trying this seed on plasma

[pastel hatch]

photo is 1/5 tribs

[humble gulch]

Trib triggers with every queen and king, not the first one

[turbid smelt]

What do I brainstorm

[quaint spire]

what should i swap invis joker for if i should?

[turbid smelt]

?

Sock?

[frank notch]

i dont like perishables

[pastel hatch]

sock probably

[humble gulch]

Sock

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[median grove]

are these jokers not that good for ante 10 because they dont give consistent xmult?

unlike glass and steel / shoot the moon

im wondering why im scoring so low on ante 10

[frank notch]

shoot the moon????

[median grove]

its more consistent + mult at least

im just wondering why my run is so bad?

[frank notch]

shoot the moon sucks for endless

[rancid gull]

So far i've been able to list 76 of the 150 jokers

[pastel hatch]

its not even more consistent

[long zodiac]

Dawg at least you won ur run

[rancid gull]

without looking

[median grove]

so why am i dying on ante 10?

is this build just not scalable fast enough

[frank notch]

idk

[median grove]

because theres no xmult besides lucky?

or exponential multipliers i guess?

[long zodiac]

Cavendish exists

[median grove]

yeah but i mean like retriggered xmult, which is exponential

instead of just a x3

like baron mime

and are there other ways to get naneif besides baron + mime?

[frank notch]

no

[median grove]

boring

[pastel hatch]

yes

[long zodiac]

Well there’s that busted ass stencil naneinf

[median grove]

the only way to get to ante 20+ is baron mime?

thats so lame

[pastel hatch]

mainly includes stuff like perkeo

[long zodiac]

You can also naneinf with perkeo

[pliant jewel]

you can get naninf with a lot of things but those tend to involve astronomical luck and/or perkeo shenanigans or bugs

[long zodiac]

Its not all just baron mime, there’s other methods

[median grove]

oh perkeo and the voucher that gives xmult per tarot card?

[pastel hatch]

there are nan infs with bugs as well

[tawny venture]

I just want to win a run man

[long zodiac]

Perkeo observatory is good

[median grove]

well what is the other way besides that?

[pastel hatch]

this one still has to rely on some other jokers

[long zodiac]

What was ur green joker at, and what was ur runner at

[median grove]

well what is the other method?

[pliant jewel]

the usual way for perkeo naninf is to duplicate cryptids to make an astronomical hand for mime baron lmao

[median grove]

what is cryptid

ohhh i see

[tawny venture]

I can't check but evidently it was high enough to almost win

[median grove]

so is my run just dying on ante 10 because its not giving exponential mult like aj or baron?

so it doesnt scale

quickly

[pliant jewel]

basically yeah

[median grove]

okay at least i know

[pliant jewel]

most normal builds die around ante 10-12

[median grove]

shucks

[rancid gull]

i got 87/150

[wintry ice]

how did i forget so many 3x mult jokers

[rancid gull]

bro legit the commons were the hardest for me

[wintry ice]

i forgot acrobat, blackboard and card sharp

[rancid gull]

i don't remember the name of them shits

[wintry ice]

like how 😭

AND burnt

[rancid gull]

+100 chips for a 30ak

HOLY FUCK

[median grove]

jokers?

[rancid gull]

HOW DID I FORGET BURNT

Yes

[wintry ice]

the page 1 jokers are very forgettable so yea

[median grove]

i have 131 / 150 rn

[pastel hatch]

whats the site

[pliant jewel]

i think they're talking about the quiz

[wintry ice]

how did i forget riff raff

[long zodiac]

I have like 142/150 or smth

[pliant jewel]

https://www.sporcle.com/games/epictho/balatro-jokers

[wintry ice]

https://pt.sporcle.com/games/epictho/balatro-jokers

[pliant jewel]

whoops

[wintry ice]

erm

[rancid gull]

My mind went from plus mults, to econ

to chips

[wintry ice]

imagine spamming am i right!

[rancid gull]

to xmults

[wintry ice]

i just gave up when it got to 2 minutes left

[rancid gull]

wow

how did i forget card sharp

[stoic isle]

what's the longest joker name

[wintry ice]

how did i forget black board

or riff raff

[pliant jewel]

i did the quiz like a few months ago but i got 125

[wintry ice]

or burglar

i could have done better if i wasn't dum

[humble gulch]

Yeah, so the seed it's pretty much naneinf-able

[rancid gull]

i'm a very sight based person

so if this was a quiz with pictures

i prob would've done better

[pliant jewel]

chicot thinks bro is part of the team

[quaint spire]

here goes nothing

[pliant jewel]

well theres one that has the pictures of the jokers but i found that one really easy

[rancid gull]

also fuck the tribe

i tried putting in the quad

[pliant jewel]

aside from the common mult and chips jokers that you dont care about

[rancid gull]

completely forgot the name of that joker

lol

[wintry ice]

all the joker artworks are very recognisable

outside the page 1s that aren't sinful

[turbid smelt]

What do I sell for blueprint

[wintry ice]

jimbo is a blank slate yet everyone knows him

[quaint spire]

chaos the clown

[wintry ice]

photo

[turbid smelt]

He’s negative

[quaint spire]

sorry im blind

[tawny venture]

Is ecto worth taking idk what the consensus is

[quaint spire]

yeah photo

[humble gulch]

No

[rancid gull]

sell all and take the 5 of hearts

[stoic isle]

WHAT'S THE LONGEST JOKER NAME

QUICK

[quaint spire]

and have bp copy trib

[wintry ice]

have you gotten a hand size voucher

[wintry ice]

delayed gratification

[rancid gull]

Chaos the Clown

oh yeah

prob delayed

[stoic isle]

thank you

[tawny venture]

I don't so I'm assuming it's not worth

[pliant jewel]

if you're playing pairs then its not a big deal

[rancid gull]

True

[wintry ice]

yea

[tawny venture]

it's too early to tell yet tbf

[wintry ice]

i mean if you find something worth getting

[tawny venture]

really depends on what chip joker I come across

[rancid gull]

u could always just buy it and use it later

[tawny venture]

oh wait true

[wintry ice]

you could just sell crazy joker

[pliant jewel]

isnt that droll

[wintry ice]

and like

[rancid gull]

rip the ecto and let it hit golden

[wintry ice]

i can't tell the page 1s apart

[rancid gull]

with the perishable

[tawny venture]

yea that's droll I was gonna get rid of it anyway

[wintry ice]

all this gold just for me to throw away as a 4oak

fuck

[tawny venture]

and maybe replace with misprint because at least it consistently procs

[wintry ice]

this is why you don't do large hands with stuntman and telescope

i could have just fullsent into pairs but that's just so boring

[wintry ice]

also it can sometimes cause you to miss out on bus scaling

[turbid smelt]

Take Baron on a non highcard flush five build

?

[rancid gull]

no

[pliant jewel]

probably not

[rancid gull]

unless if ur pivoting

but otherwise no

[turbid smelt]

Lil late for that no?

[pliant jewel]

the ante scaling is high enough to just kill you if you dont get both mime baron i think

[rancid gull]

i justtt saw the ante

yeah

no

ante 21 pivot

trust

mime in the next reroll

[pliant jewel]

just put him into your consumable slot until mime shows up smh

[wintry ice]

aura on polychrome + castle at ante 2...

this is tempting

[fringe nebula]

yeah no, i don't feel like pushing further

[wintry ice]

damn

[pliant jewel]

idk why but castle always show up on runs where i have rebate

[rancid gull]

dang bro

[pliant jewel]

which makes it mildly annoying to use

[rancid gull]

i didn't do too good

[wintry ice]

+129 castle by ante 3

god i love it on painted deck

[rancid gull]

smeared joker + castle

[humble gulch]

The deck fixing speed on this seed it's worrying

[turbid smelt]

Wow 3e52

That’s for the history books

[rancid gull]

Shoot for e80

[turbid smelt]

Still convinced Nan inf doesn’t exist and it’s a conspiracy theory

[wintry ice]

i have 0 permanent mult still

[turbid smelt]

There’s not a shot in hell that’s not modded

[lost smelt]

Its not modded , but I have used cheat engine

[waxen dagger]

i dont even HAVE all bala jokers 😭😭

[rancid gull]

8ball naninf

[pliant jewel]

thats basically modded

[fringe nebula]

what if

8ball, but you get spectral cards instead of tarots

[waxen dagger]

bestie u can watch a video of ot happening

[rancid gull]

1/4 chance for tarot
1/8 for spectral

[waxen dagger]

it requires a stupid setup that requires insane luck

[frank notch]

probably could be bumped to uncommon

[rancid gull]

I like that idea

[hoary orchid]

Can a Riff Raff produce a joker with an effect on it? Like a negative joker

[fringe nebula]

i like this idea

[humble gulch]

Naneinf it's fairly easy to achieve

[pliant jewel]

make it work on sixes instead of 8 and only on your first and and only if thats the only card you play but it's 100% instead of 1 in 4 and it destroys the card afterwards

[cinder pulsar]

Yes

[waxen dagger]

superposition -> spectral card

[frank notch]

yes

[frank notch]

easy???!!

[humble gulch]

Not thaaaat easy

[frank notch]

cartomancer -> spectral card

[pliant jewel]

i wouldnt call naninf like easy

[waxen dagger]

a very specific hand JUST to get a tarot card is not good

[fringe nebula]

naneinf is easy

[rancid gull]

Bro imagine the one scenario with 8 ball where u get both immolate and hermit from the 8ball

[ancient gyro]

approximately every 5 runs has a seed that can naneinf on plasma

[rancid gull]

Goated run

[frank notch]

hallucination -> spectral card

[waxen dagger]

can

[humble gulch]

Just hop on plasma and get money, you don't even need plasma

[frank notch]

vagabond -> spectral

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[waxen dagger]

its not guaranteed to is the thing 😭

[noble mango]

Ho would evil ovelisk work

[rancid gull]

No please don’t change hallucination like that

[turbid smelt]

Can theoretically

[lost smelt]

Actually you can get naneinf but only in infinite mode

[turbid smelt]

Human error

[frank notch]

fortune teller -> spectral card

[pliant jewel]

well black deck gold stake probably has a seed that is beatable on less than every 5 runs but i dont see anyone calling it easy

[waxen dagger]

not just human error but like unpredictablility

[frank notch]

tarot cards -> spectral

[ancient gyro]

no, it's a given statistical approximate from the doctor himself

[pliant jewel]

naninf is also kind of a big time investment

[lost smelt]

Yeah

[ancient gyro]

nova/burnt

basically

[waxen dagger]

do you lose if you naneinf

[pliant jewel]

yes

[turbid smelt]

Ur game crashes

[frank notch]

yes

[humble gulch]

Ugh, so late

[lost smelt]

You can do that shit I've done (so many cards and things happening that crash the game) in a normal run but you will need much MUCH TIME

[waxen dagger]

thats so 😭😭😭

[frank notch]

naneinf breaks the game and it cant be compared to any number

so if you score it you lose even with skull joker

[waxen dagger]

you got higher than the highest possible number the game can handle! L bozo

[flat tiger]

when the accidental straight flush claims another run with 4 finger + shortcut + cardsharp....

[viral mountain]

We gamin' or nah

[waxen dagger]

what is it naneinf instead of just inf

i hy

why

[humble gulch]

Are you telling me that this seed has a triple soul....?

[frank notch]

not a number * 10 to the power of infinity

[torn totem]

get rid of showman

[humble gulch]

I'm not taking it cuz it's Yorick

[waxen dagger]

which language is balatro coded in?

[lost smelt]

Yep

[torn totem]

prob python

[lost smelt]

Lua

[ancient gyro]

lua

[lost smelt]

And all the numbers on the screen are doubles

[glad aspen]

Ive decided im gonna gold stake black deck next to get ut out of the way but ts is so hard 🫩

[lost smelt]

Balatro is so well made that its near impossible to crash

Its insane

[pliant jewel]

well undertale's code is made from hopes and dreams yet it doesnt really crash either (aside from intentional ones)

doesnt matter how well it actually is made you just need the player to not see the flaws

[lost smelt]

I mean , in order to actually crash the game

I need to make cards clone when i point the mouse at the card, them stack a lot of cards , play the poker hand and them OPEN MENUS AND DRAG CARDS AND SO SOME CREEPY THINGS

Just to get the BALATRO.EXE IS NOT RUNNING

[flat tiger]

my first e score, no blueprint/BS sadge

[lost smelt]

Because the hole point of this is make the game do so many actions that will break , but balatro have a queue to do the actions

You know , make it pushes a ton of ram and windows will stop it

The queue thing make this almost impossible

You can have infinite cards with infinite jokers and a lot of things , the fps will drop the queue will be immense but giving time BALATRO WILL RUN EVERY ACTION , CONTABILIZES EVERY BONUS AND WILL NOT CRASH

[frank notch]

this was mine

[lost smelt]

You cannot crash that shit in normal ways , you can bug it , make the screen looks like a mess but crash balatro in a normal run without cheating? Impossible

[pliant jewel]

well naninf is a way to crash balatro

without cheating

[sonic nexus]

I COMPLETED MY FIRST CHALLENGE FOR REAL THIS TIME

[pliant jewel]

but i dont think it counts as a normal run

[lost smelt]

Nope, the game don't crash with naneinf

[night moss]

I finally beaten Black Deck on Gold Stake, i have never felt this feeling of success before 😭😭

[lost smelt]

You win the math and loss the round but the game does not make a error screen/window appears

Naneinf is not crash

Crash is when the game stop running

[flat tiger]

lol... finally stencil works

[night moss]

Beating one of the challenge runs always feels so satisfying, especially when it’s giving you so much trouble 😭

[lost smelt]

@pliant jewel try to get a screen like this

That's a crash , balatro.exe is not responding anymore

[pliant jewel]

no the grey screen is also a crash

[lost smelt]

I personally will fry a pastry and make some juice for whoever manages to crash Balatro like this on a normal run

[pliant jewel]

if anything, this isnt really a crash

[silk cobalt]

Is it too late to pivot to a Baron Mime build XD

[pliant jewel]

a crash is usually defined as when an application suddenly closes

thats just "not responding"

[flat tiger]

I got baron mime 3 times and all of them died to the plant

[lost smelt]

They closed after

:p

[silk cobalt]

I have Director's cut this time donut worry XD

[flat tiger]

when I do flush 5/5oak kings the baron never show up

[lost smelt]

Plasma deck is overrated.....

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wicked sonnet]

i have a slight feeling i'm going to win golden needle challenge

[safe moat]

Hello confectioners

[serene forge]

skill issue

[serene forge]

good thing baron is not a flush 5 joker then

[wicked sonnet]

i was dreading this one i thought it would be the hardest

[serene forge]

hopefully you don't get the water

[wicked sonnet]

first try 😎 insanely lucky run

[safe moat]

Hello!

[serene forge]

oh that's dcut

yeah you win

lol

[wicked sonnet]

i am playing pairs scoring 1.5mil anyway

[serene forge]

hi

[wicked sonnet]

even on a high card i score over 100k

[safe moat]

You rember?

[serene forge]

wowie

[lost smelt]

Balatro gba can run on a gba ?

[serene forge]

yeah i rember you

[safe moat]

Why leave

[lost smelt]

I mean it runs well on emulators but how does the gba respond to endless mode and exponencial numbers ?

[viral mountain]

Man

[serene forge]

that server you mean

[safe moat]

Yes

[drifting raven]

when you're hunting for gold stickers it's funny to be disappointed from winning a run just because you didn't have any unstickered jokers

[serene forge]

i don't want to talk about it

ask my gf if you want to

[safe moat]

Okay

I was just curious sorry if I brought up a bad memory

[serene forge]

it's fine

[safe moat]

Yes maam

[flat tiger]

I love on winning runs a random joker show up as negative like "i want to tag along just for the sticker"

[drifting raven]

that is honestly the best

i cannot for the life of me get a sticker on that god damn glass joker

[viral mountain]

OH NOW YOU SHOW UP

[weak relic]

Never showed up in my naneinf run

[flat tiger]

the one time I should actually skip, I just clicked....

[viral mountain]

Okay Antimatter I forgive you

[humble gulch]

I'm doing one right now

[fringe nebula]

applying glass enhancement, and then rerolling until you find glass joker sounds like a pain

maybe that's why i did glass joker wayy before 120/150 in my second c++ lol

[serene forge]

no

[drifting raven]

i just don't really use glass cards all that much. I've been making at least one card glass for the sole purpose of allowing it to show up in the shop

[serene forge]

you should not be skipping for that

[flat tiger]

i am trading 4 mult at most for.... 3 negative joker rolls?

[serene forge]

trading 4 mult and a shop with packs and round money and gold card value

it's not good

[flat tiger]

theres no round money?

[serene forge]

there is round money

[flat tiger]

its small blind

[serene forge]

you get interest

[fringe nebula]

there is

[flat tiger]

theres also no jokers I can take (which nothing worth till the end)

because double stencil

[fringe nebula]

i would approve of negative tag if you get card sharp, blackboard and the duo

(aka never)

[serene forge]

Hi big nerd here time to run down some of the numbers of how much every single skip as a baseline loses out on to even be considered an option:
As an idea of just how much you lose per skip:

• Without vouchers or rerolling, the 2 shop slots is already $5 to see, let alone if you include the packs and voucher, or potentially rerolling
• Scaling from jokers
• Hand money (usually $3)
• Interest money (Hopefully $5)
  Idk man a butt ton of lost value for what is ultimately, something you already see on the shop 90% of the time, in the case of most to not say all skips

[dim thicket]

when you skip you miss making money and seeing the shop which makes you miss on way more then just jokers

[weak relic]

Screw you heres ur negative eternal rental 8ball

[flat tiger]

the only thing that can improve scoring with 2 stencil is negative jokers and planets?

[dim thicket]

W name and W explanatoin

[dim thicket]

no

[fringe nebula]

you could get better jokers than stencil

[serene forge]

you can find better jokers than stencil yeah

like

any 3x joker is better than just having the 2 stencils

[flat tiger]

2 stencil is x9...?

[weak relic]

Fl*wer pot

[serene forge]

2 stencils here is x9
2 stencils with another x3 would be x12

this is why stencil is not good to build for

[flat tiger]

which will become x4 if I take any non-negative??

[dim thicket]

1. you can get smth better then stencil
2. you can find something thats better then what you have now and pair that with stencil
3. you can find tarots that increase your score
4. finding a negative joker that doesn't help you will make it literally usesless and potentially detrimental if you have to pay a lot for it, which you DO by takign the skip bc you lose money from beating the blind

[serene forge]

what's 4 times 3

[fringe nebula]

3 x 3 is 9
3 x 2 x 2 is 12

[flat tiger]

if they are not negative it reduce 1x on sentcil?

[serene forge]

it does

[silk cobalt]

Ggs

[serene forge]

and mathematically it's still better than just using stencils

because stencil sucks

[weak relic]

Balala players can't math it seems

[serene forge]

damn i can't read math i'm a balatro player

[weak relic]

And also cant read

Not the best duo

[noble mango]

Haha number go up 🧠

[slow iris]

i think it equals at least 2 maddythumbsup

[dim thicket]

i think it's okay personally but i can see the argument for it sucking. i usually get pretty lucky on my stencil runs too so that can play a part in it

[humble gulch]

Well, invis hit blueprint, naneinf here I come

[dim thicket]

madeline celeste,, OwO

[flat tiger]

when I already get 2 stencil rolling any negative chip/mult/Xmult joker 3 times is better chance then rolling a 3X or more joker with one shop?

i mean even if its econ jokers negative it still helps the build

[subtle drum]

stencil does not suck lmao

cos ankh and invisible jokers

and blueprints and brainstorms

[humble gulch]

Stencil suck

[subtle drum]

you’d be surprised it actually works

[fringe nebula]

assuming you can get that in every single run

which is not the case

[subtle drum]

most of the time you can

[fringe nebula]

🗿 🗿

[humble gulch]

?

[serene forge]

okay take it then

you're gonna get negative madness

you should be happy that it's an xmult joker right

[dim thicket]

seeing shops helps more thoooo

[flat tiger]

worse case you buy and sell, they are still 3 negative jokers that any econ/mult/chip/xmult helpes a ton with double stencil

[serene forge]

crafty joker

[fringe nebula]

[serene forge]

crafty joker chips will surely be useful in this scenario

[flat tiger]

you are not forced to buy, theres like at least half the jokers that helps in tha suituation, instead of just rolling one shop of jokers?

don’t give her attention that’s exactly what she wants

[noble mango]

Is this real

[weak relic]

Do you have any other aside from this and sh*wman?

what does it do

[noble mango]

Fungus

[subtle drum]

naneinf potential prolly

[noble mango]

How many bananas do you need to Naninf

[clear kettle]

imagine anaglyph naneinf

[subtle drum]

like infinity

naneinf isn’t real 🥀

[humble gulch]

Well, let's naneinf

[wicked sonnet]

officially beat all challenges

all i have left is 30 gold stickers and i beat everything possible

[edgy stone]

Which banana

[weak relic]

waaaaaaaaoooooo

[humble gulch]

Well, ante 25 it is

Or no naneinf at all, I guess

[wintry ice]

yoo, midas mask

[wicked sonnet]

where bro money gone

rip

[serene forge]

dont take double ecto

unless you can abuse bean bug

[rancid gull]

Take double ecto

[smoky niche]

baseball card and the family are my last gold sticker rares

[noble mango]

Does balatro heat your phone

[slow iris]

temps seem fine on my phone

[noble mango]

How about battery

[slow iris]

not something i've actively paid attention to

[smoky niche]

yes

it takes a lot of battery too

[slow iris]

well i use balatro mobile maker to play balatro on my mobile cellular device but it should be the same

[humble gulch]

There's worse things

[humble gulch]

Only if I'm in VC, playing, extra window and bluetooth activated

[slow iris]

and i rarely do that since i have my steam deck

[humble gulch]

I can play Balatro ten hours straight

Before 10% battery

[slow iris]

from i'm guessing 100% right

[tawny venture]

It does for mine

Not sure about battery it might but I don't pay close attention

[slow iris]

it will use more battery since you're using more power ofc

everything seems fine on my pixel 9 pro though

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[humble gulch]

I have a tablet, so some battery goes away in the larger screen

Playing Balatro in a tablet feels so good tho

[noble mango]

Tips for green stake green deck?

[slow iris]

and pixels aren't exactly known for having the most efficient cpus...

so take that as you will i guess

[humble gulch]

Spend your money agressively in things that could improve your run, try to one shot blind or get external econ

[slow iris]

any large touch screen device really

probably

the only one i have is my steam deck

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[slow iris]

was gonna get a 2 in 1 laptop but decided against it

[humble gulch]

I'd love to have an even bigger tablet

I can kind of hold this one like a phone (with one hand)

I can't use my thumb like that tho

[noble mango]

Play blatro on laptop

[edgy stone]

Which should I replace?

[humble gulch]

I don't like Balatro on PC

[noble mango]

Perkeo

[humble gulch]

As bad as it sounds, actually yeah...

[noble mango]

Idk mate

You got eternals

[humble gulch]

You can skip too

[noble mango]

It bugs me how it's acrobat tho

Eternal holo 👍

[slow iris]

i'd love to have an even smaller phone

[humble gulch]

Suffering, I'd die

I have long hands ❤️‍🩹

[slow iris]

i'd be happy with a 5 inch tall phone

[edgy stone]

Im so greedy taking Hologram

[noble mango]

Would you take a spectral card that destroys half of your entire deck for 30$

[slow iris]

yes

[noble mango]

Literally thanos snap

[humble gulch]

I'd love to have a 12 inches tall tablet

Well, maybe not

Maybe 10

[noble mango]

How big is a 5 foot tablet

Idk im not american

[humble gulch]

It would be five foot tall

[noble mango]

What is a foot/inch

[humble gulch]

One and a half meters

[noble mango]

huh

[humble gulch]

Same

I only measure things in smoots

[idle kernel]

balatro music

[noble mango]

Weeeeeeee woewoooo wa woe

Whatever idk how to sing it

[foggy berry]

i know that’s why i said thanks to vouchers

[stoic root]

look at my round score lol

[median grove]

fibonacci or rtb with spare trousers?

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[median grove]

is rtb redundant with fibonacci?

[vale shale]

Yes.

[median grove]

i mean is rtb redundant with spare trousers

or i guess they all give plus mult?

[vale shale]

Also yes

[median grove]

i dont know what do you think

[humble gulch]

None

[median grove]

because its 2 flat mult jokers?

which is not ideal?

[vale shale]

It's ok if it was early ante

But 2 flat mult jokers is kinda bad

[median grove]

yeah im on ante 1 but i feel like spare trousers is a little bit easier to scale than rtb, and having both might make scaling spare trousers harder

which is not great

[humble gulch]

You need specific ranks with fib and not playing face cards will make playing a two pair a lot harder

[median grove]

yea

okay ill just stick with spare trousers

since i always fib

but fibonacci and hack i feel like is even better than spare trousers!

[humble gulch]

No

[vale shale]

Fib doesn't scale

[median grove]

oh true i guess not

because spare trousers can hav elike + 60 mult theoretically

and i guess fib is capped at flat + 80 mult

[humble gulch]

And trousers apply mult to every hand played

[vale shale]

Spare trousers does and is just better in the long run.

[median grove]

oh true lol

but best suited for pair / 2 pair right?

[slow iris]

i usually get like 100 on trousers

[humble gulch]

Yeah, that

[median grove]

is there any important deckfixing with spare trousers?

[humble gulch]

Destroy ranks

[median grove]

and in general is it better to have more face cards? or i guess its too context dependent

[median grove]

which ranks?

[humble gulch]

Any

Just make sure to have less ranks

[median grove]

why?

[soft moss]

chat do i take gros michel and replace either smeared, wrath, space, blue foil joker, supernova, misprint?

[median grove]

oh i guess to concentrate pairs?

[soft moss]

flush is lvl 15

rn

[humble gulch]

Makes it easier to hit a two pair

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[median grove]

should i concentrate any specific ranks? or is it too context dependent

[humble gulch]

Just send a pic, bro

[median grove]

to say face cards are better than numbers

[humble gulch]

Ranks don't matter on two pair runs

[soft moss]

my snipping tool dont work for some reason

pls

its ante 8 guh

[median grove]

but i might get baron mime!

you never know

[humble gulch]

Just no

[wintry ice]

i think i'd remove 3s first

[median grove]

i always prepare myself

[median grove]

why not?

[wintry ice]

baron mime is high investment and thus not realistc for 8 antes

[median grove]

well you have to play 8 antes before you go endless on baron mime

[humble gulch]

You're not leveling high card, you need a lot of kings and baron mime it's just bad to beat ante 8

[median grove]

so then how would i ever play baron mime?

[wintry ice]

but it's not realistically usable in those 8 antes before endless

[humble gulch]

You probably won't

[median grove]

i will always try

[wintry ice]

well i'd suggest properly learning the game before trying to force builds

[humble gulch]

Don't do that, please

[soft moss]

chat do i take gros michel and replace either smeared, wrath, space, blue foil joker, supernova, misprint? (supernova is 45x mult on flush and my flush is lvl 15)

[humble gulch]

If you want to use baron mime you should play on white stake

[wintry ice]

misprint or smeared

[soft moss]

oo damn i think misprint then

[wintry ice]

also supernova is additive, not multiplicative

[soft moss]

yeah it keeps adding my level

cuz smeared works very nicely with wrath joker

[median grove]

well i dont specifically want a baron mime run

but i always want to get high score and play endless if i can

thats fun for me

i had 20 jokers on ante 16 yesterday!

that was crazy

[humble gulch]

You shouldn't really try to do highscores and beating stakes at the same time

[soft moss]

@wintry ice BRO MY GROS MICHEL KILLED ITSELF

AFTER ONE ROUND

[median grove]

im not playing to be perfect i want to have the most fun

thats why i play

[wintry ice]

well you'd not need the +15 that late

[vestal copper]

thats normal

[wintry ice]

you take it so it dies for a potential cavendish

[soft moss]

never fucking mind i just got cavendish

LOL

[wintry ice]

gg

[humble gulch]

That's not really the point here...

[noble mango]

The banan rng be upon ye

[humble gulch]

It's just a bad idea, not worth the effort, focusing in beating ante 8 is sometimes more fun

[noble mango]

Different people different goal

[soft moss]

YESSS

FINALLY

BEAT

BLACK DECK

checkered deck here i come

[humble gulch]

You can always try to get a highscore on white stake

[soft moss]

my highest was ante 10

5IUQAUG8
black deck seed if anyone's interested

[humble gulch]

It's way more easier and you'll feel a lot more free

[noble mango]

One seeketh to see naninf
One seeketh to finish ante 8
One seeketh to go further on endless
Some went to see high scores
Some tried new strategies

But what i want is to scale my wee to stupidity

[humble gulch]

Trying to do highscores on high stakes should be it's own thing

[median grove]

lmao how are you telling me to play my own game!

[noble mango]

Well

Not having eternal for madness or ankh is a bit bad

[humble gulch]

And not sometimes you should focus while playing to beat stakes

Wrong message

[median grove]

im going to play how i want to lol

[noble mango]

As much as i hate eternal

It has its use

[median grove]

i am beating stakes and i like to go as far as i can just to see what happens

[humble gulch]

I'm not telling you that, i'm telling it'll be a lot more tiring long term

[median grove]

its not tiring to me, i dont really like ending a run on ante 8 when i know i can go further

[humble gulch]

Yeah, that's something of its own too

[median grove]

i like seeing how far i can go every run

but only if i think i can go to like ante 11+

and is it bad to have flat mult and xmult on plasma?

should i just focus on xmult?

[humble gulch]

Not really

In the end having flat mult will boost your xmult a lot more

But if you have enough levels you should focus on xmult

[median grove]

but its bad to focus on chips and flat mult right

its better to pick one

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[humble gulch]

Chips or xmult

Never flat mult only or flat mult chips

[noble mango]

Help
What do i trade for :banana x mult

Photograph
Sockskin
Beesnes Card
Smile face
Spooppy +chips face

[median grove]

but is this only true in late game? or like antes 4-6 as well

[humble gulch]

... Can't you just send a pic too?

[median grove]

whats spoopy

[cloud sinew]

scary face

[noble mango]

Scary face

[humble gulch]

Focus on one thing as soon as you get the opportunity

[noble mango]

Spoopy ooooo red face that give you chips

[cloud sinew]

scary

[noble mango]

Nah

[humble gulch]

You know I can't read, I'm a former Balatro player

[noble mango]

Ok i already shitted the photograph into a banana

[slow iris]

it's true for before endless

[median grove]

okay thanks

i feel like i have really good pair jokers but im scoring so low!

is it just because i have no planet levels?

[cloud sinew]

its because you dont have much xmult or chips

youre running mixed chips and mult rn

[median grove]

but i feel like i need chips and mult lol

[humble gulch]

No

[median grove]

even though you guys just said the opposite

like arent i just worse if i sell square joker?

what would i replace it with?

[humble gulch]

Flat chips scale a lot faster than mult and xmult makes large numbers

[median grove]

so i should just look for gros michel or lucky cat or one of those?

[humble gulch]

You mean cavendish, right?

[median grove]

yeah

are those the jokers youre talking about?

[humble gulch]

I'd say focus on chips on early stakes

But if you have the opportunity to focus on xmult it'll be a lot easier

[median grove]

specifically with plasma?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

Well, focusing on xmult works on every deck

[small ferry]

i lowkey didnt know they difference between mult and xmult for like the first 10 hours (i won a game with sacrificial dagger without it)

[echo sphinx]

oops didnt mean to reply tht

[flat tiger]

before any direction, what to generally put seals on and what card to cut/copy?

[echo sphinx]

oops time to pivot

[lost vault]

oops i didnt mean to all 6s

[echo sphinx]

winning setup

[humble gulch]

Plasma

[echo sphinx]

eh its red

[small ferry]

if you dont have a clear direction, its best to avoid that. focus on jokers, since you have low econ. but its ok toget rid of low scoring cards too.

[echo sphinx]

possible to just straight up focus on mult

[humble gulch]

?????

[echo sphinx]

for speculative sealing, id do queen by default
and remove 6-9th ranks

[flat tiger]

so just dont buy hangman/death until direction?

[humble gulch]

A x2 it's not enough on plasma

[small ferry]

i think so, yeah. Depends on deck too tho

[humble gulch]

Might as well just focus on chips

[median grove]

why am i scoring so low then lol

[echo spire]

balala

[median grove]

any tips?

[flat tiger]

i keep expecting cloud 9 so I keep 8s to strength but it just never happen in practice

[median grove]

do you think i improved my run?

[humble gulch]

Plasma it's not made for low xmults

[echo sphinx]

owo

[median grove]

its made for retrigger xmults?

[small ferry]

what level is two pair

[humble gulch]

Or high scaling xmult

Or chips

[median grove]

two pair is level 2 and pair is level 6

i got no planet cards / blue seals this game

maybe thats why?

[humble gulch]

Maybe

[small ferry]

whats the trousers for then?

[median grove]

even though i opened like 4 spectral packs

[vale shale]

For scoring

[median grove]

i got it early and i was trying to scale pairs / 2pairs!

but i failed

no planets

[small ferry]

son

[vale shale]

What else are the trousers for

For wearing m

[small ferry]

yeah maybe dip trousers

[vale shale]

He has no scoring.

[small ferry]

I KNOW, GET SOME OTHER TYPE OF SCORING

[vale shale]

He's on ante 7

[humble gulch]

Dropping trousers now it's a really bad idea

[lost vault]

m30w

[vale shale]

His trousers is probably like +50 flat mult

And he has squoker

[median grove]

what would i even drop trousers for?

i agree that is a bad idea

[vale shale]

He's set even if he doesn't have levels

[vale shale]

None

[echo sphinx]

god knows

[median grove]

its giving more mult than any card i can buy now

[vale shale]

You have no flat mult

[flat tiger]

what should i be looking for here, wee doesnt matter anymore but I already have full house levels and too many 2s (with Ks)

[small ferry]

when the gng turns on you so u lowkirkenuinly dip:

[vale shale]

There's no gng. It's just bad advice

[trail steeple]

getting this on gold stake boggles my mind

[small ferry]

*cries cutely and runs elatedly

[vale shale]

Steel boker

[trail steeple]

it was so nasty😼

[pastel hatch]

average gold stake plasma

[echo sphinx]

erratic deck is so erratic

what do i play lol

do i just spam 4oak all day

[vale shale]

It wants you to play face cards

[flat tiger]

is 3oak generally easier to build for erratic deck?

just shoot the moon

[vale shale]

Bhoot the moon

Stm mime run incoming

[flat tiger]

lol somehow got a madness win

[humble gulch]

Madness is really good

[flat tiger]

it was... sketchy when I can only take eternal for a long time and rely basically only on madness

funny how you unlock a new deck and shit like this works because white stake

[restive atlas]

madness can solo if you get it early

[flat tiger]

i got it first buffon pack this run 😂

[eternal rose]

Bruh moment

[upper spade]

Surely I'm not sabotaging myself.
Right>

I'm just stacking up on Straight levels.

[waxen dagger]

this is aurafarming

[restive atlas]

most straight runs ive ever done always ended because i couldn't draw a straight which is like the hardest part of a straight run

[upper spade]

Accurate.

I've been lucky so far.

[flat tiger]

or when it dies because you have 4 finger + shortcut and accidentally made a straight flush with no levels

[upper spade]

Brainstorm from Judgement.

[restive atlas]

never happened to me lmao that sounds like hell

[upper spade]

It sucks.
It can happen on both Straights and Flushes.

[flat tiger]

i learned the hard way when 5679 made a straight and the other random card is the 4th fitting suit for flush it makes a "straight flush"

when it was a "throw away dud card"

[restive atlas]

has anyone ever told you that you talk like an ai

[upper spade]

No.

[vestal copper]

me when i have formal typestyle (im an ai now)

[restive atlas]

he sounds way too formal

[upper spade]

I'm naturally formal.

[restive atlas]

that's cool ig

[humble gulch]

I like to write as well as I can, but casually

like

Well, no idea how to explain it

[wraith eagle]

I've never had so many negatives in a run lol

[flat tiger]

way too many people think something is AI when its not

[vestal copper]

my ass just types in the most internet-rotten way

[vestal copper]

its so annoying icl

[flat tiger]

but when an actual AI is making shit up people believe it

more believe an AI is human then peolpe who correctly call out AI

[quaint silo]

what is a easy way to mod. is github the mainly chosen way?

[humble gulch]

br waytabt tnotng

[vestal copper]

i threw so hard

wee had like 1.1k by the time i lost

i was duping glass red seal queens

[humble gulch]

Are you a golden one?

[charred sierra]

only on sunday nights apparently

also idk if that actually means anything so

[humble gulch]

Brainrot, sorry

[flat tiger]

the rare case of seanco actually gave me 2 immolate and a medium before selling

[flat tiger]

i was happy I got a 2400 wee

"i have that shirt too kinda"

[green meteor]

AI would not be able to resist being more long-winded

[subtle drum]

sigh

[flat tiger]

how many different hand did you do, ante 13 highest hand is only 15 times?

[subtle drum]

wdym

[flat tiger]

most played hand is only 15?

yeah

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[pastel pagoda]

Black deck

[vale shale]

Blank deck

[indigo wharf]

I am overwhelmed by the amount of decisions I have

[restive atlas]

how are you even alive with no mult jokers
