Gay flushin

[jagged cliff]

I can see the naneinf potential

[indigo wharf]

[soft moss]

flush supremacy

(straight flush is still a flush)

[flat tiger]

would straight flush be an actual build if you get something like natural negative smeared/4 fingers/shortcut

[soft moss]

LMAO

royal flush should be extra gay flush

[flat tiger]

if you have shorcut, what count as a royal flsuh? do you need A+K or just A/K

useless info but

[visual niche]

is the thunk also local?

[echo sphinx]

lol

[indigo wharf]

AKQJ Qualifies as a royal flush with 4 fingers, Shortcut SHOULD make AKQ10 count as a royale aswell, and that goes for any A-10 combination

Atleast im like 76.767676767% sure

[visual niche]

Judgement just changed by straight build into a pair build?? 😭

[echo sphinx]

lol

[flat tiger]

would A Q 10 9 count or something or you need to have A+K

[indigo wharf]

A-10 Only for royal

I’m pretty sure atleast..

[flat tiger]

would be funny if royal flush gives you +1 chips just for the lulz

[cloud minnow]

Do you want this?

[desert tinsel]

biggest madness of all time

[subtle drum]

it had to be on the trousers run 😭😭

[echo sphinx]

my goat

[subtle drum]

ew no

[echo sphinx]

lol

[subtle drum]

madness so annoying

[echo sphinx]

temperance value

[vale shale]

Winstreak : 1

How do we win black deck but not painted bro 🥀

[cloud sinew]

a royal flush is a straight flush with all ranks >=10

[echo sphinx]

w i n

[echo sphinx]

ooo

[flat tiger]

interesting, so a KQJ10 still counts

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[flat tiger]

more useless info added

buts its funny to know

[cloud sinew]

4fingers + shortcut lets you do stuff like AQJ10

for a royal

[flat tiger]

how much better is shorcut compared to 4 finger, slightly better or massively better

[frank grove]

shortcut is much better than 4 fingers

cause it opens how many straights you can build a lot more whilst 4 fingers you still need 4 in a row

[flat tiger]

the only time I got a straight build to work was with abandoned deck and I even got shortcut early

[echo sphinx]

and lost

is ok tho cuz blueprint randomly showed up

[edgy stone]

4 fingers is stronger with flush build, straight not impact so much

[flat tiger]

is straight flush harder to build or flush house

[echo sphinx]

lol

[echo sphinx]

straight flush methinks

flush house has Death tarot

[edgy stone]

What a combo

[flat tiger]

imagine getting blueprine + BS or baron + mime on first buffon pack, would be so annoying

[frank grove]

flush house only really needs a suit changer

and a full house and you've already played one

and then you can work on deck fixing towards it and getting planet levels for it in shops

[flat tiger]

TBH it seems like flush house/straight flush is never worth building, if you even can without crazy RNG in your flavour

[frank grove]

yeah both are bad to build towards usually

flush house can be fun with things like ancient or trib

[flat tiger]

if you can build flush house you are almsot alwasy better going 5oak or flush 5

[frank grove]

5oak is worse than flush house imo

but flush five is way better

[flat tiger]

kinda overdid it and almost died to not having enough cards to play

[teal quarry]

Should be copying the sock&buskin right guys?

[frank grove]

no you should copy photo unless you're playing a lot of glass

[teal quarry]

Im transiting into mostly glass red seal

[flat tiger]

it seems to me you always copy photo

[frank grove]

yeah copy sock if 5 glass

[teal quarry]

1st 100m run

Still trying to push

2 red seal glass

[soft moss]

how the hell do yall always seem to get the best jokers

[flat tiger]

i mean i wont really remember the dead runs

[civic stone]

Well that's new

[soft moss]

dude the only remarkable thing i got was a raw polychrome cavendish

[civic stone]

I once got a natural negative blueprint

[flat tiger]

is Hone and glow up even worth when you are turning a 2% to a 4% even with foil, poly is 0.3% to 0.6%...

[frank grove]

Well hone makes it 0.9% for poly and glow up makes poly 2.1%

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Card_Modifiers#Appearance_Rates

[flat tiger]

its still way easier to have the wheel landing once or twice

and it will be on the joker you are actually using

[frank grove]

Yeah i think most of the reason hone and glow up are good is not the jokers

its playing cards

[flat tiger]

but then you dont want magic trick unless you have hologram

[frank grove]

increasing the odds of poly from 1.2% to 4.8% in standards is neat

no from the standard packs

[long tapir]

time to count all of the jokers

[midnight quest]

I'm stuck on Gold Stake, could you tell me how to beat it?

[frank grove]

hone and glow up dont effect illusion at all

[flat tiger]

well I guess... but mostly i want to cut cards instead of adding

[frank grove]

yeah but getting poly cards is cool

[indigo wharf]

https://giphy.com/gifs/balatro-balatrez-JaZODodLWz2M5NojlS

[flat tiger]

how do you tell what a stone card is or is there no way to tell until you change it to mult/bonus/etc

[indigo wharf]

Econ and pairs

[frank grove]

iirc i think they show up in the suit they are when you look at the full deck but other than that you cant tell what rank

[flat tiger]

wait, isnt purple and blue the bigger jump?

[midnight quest]

First, I have to go Econ

Then I upgrade pairs to level 16

Or 35 I think

[indigo wharf]

You also have to get comfortable with switching your build mid-game if the opportunity is presented

[midnight quest]

Second, don't skip powerful jokers

[cloud sinew]

You can with misprint

it shows the rank and suit under the stone

[midnight quest]

Powerful jokers are always important in early-late game

[frank grove]

I barely mess around with misprint tech cause

it mostly doesnt matter

but yeah thats cool

[flat tiger]

wait misprint?

[midnight quest]

It creates Tarot, Planet and Econ items

[echo sphinx]

brainrot

photochad baronmime

vs the easiest matchup

not even close

[midnight quest]

Lastly, don't skip a blue/purple or gold seal

[teal quarry]

I will pass this someday

[midnight quest]

Again, just like the powerful jokers

[teal quarry]

4 red seal glass but missing 1 good joker to push further

[midnight quest]

Let me show you 3 seals that gives you

#1

[mental bloom]

nat negative burglar useful?

[echo sphinx]

dilemma

[midnight quest]

Blue seals are very important for pairs, two pairs, 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind levels

#2

Again, it creates Tarot cards when discarded

#3

[flat tiger]

I died

[midnight quest]

Gold seals are the best for Econs

Stay safe! We've trained for this

[flat tiger]

do most people consider beating gold stack beating the game or C+

[echo sphinx]

i cant say for other ppl but for me its completing the stickers

[long tapir]

i need more screenshots of runs

for some

[flat tiger]

putting stickers on clearly not run winning jokers seems.... whatever when they are literally just tag alongs you hope to spawn negative

its like getting a photo chad run going then sell whatever before ante 8 boss, get whichever trash in the joker slots

[harsh relic]

best deck

[harsh relic]

maybe the first white stake win

[echo sphinx]

oh boy

[harsh relic]

michel wont die

[flat tiger]

i had 2-3 games that banana survived for 6+ antes

[fringe nebula]

dude i have destroyed more than 20 sixes just for this shit

[jolly relic]

how is it bad to think rich people SHOULD gift me things

[fringe nebula]

i thought this run is going to go smooth because of natural negative rebate but hell nah you need to destroy 24 sixes

[echo sphinx]

BYE BANANA I LIKED YOUR MULT

[lunar zealot]

is balatro a metaphor for life?

[jolly relic]

why is pants there ew

[lunar zealot]

sell parking here tbh

so you can get your banana to expire sooner

luckies will give you your money

[fringe nebula]

how is that

[lunar zealot]

make money or you fucking die

[echo sphinx]

YOU ARE DISGUSTANG

sorry caps

[echo sphinx]

no

ok they're both gone

lets go retriggers

[lunar zealot]

fair enough

you might die to violet vessel if you aren't careful

bc you only have 2 scoring jokers

[echo sphinx]

lol got antimatter

[lunar zealot]

gg

[echo sphinx]

lol and its back

yeah i win

i play lv1 fullhouse and oneshottted the blind

ggs

[white anvil]

Thank you square joker

Ggs magic deck gold stake

[vestal copper]

ggs made varv proud

[fringe nebula]

that took wayy too long

fourth blueprint at ante 23

[royal bobcat]

daily reminder that rental square joker is bad

[fringe nebula]

unless you already have max interest

or tons of gold cards in your deck

[royal bobcat]

idk i feel like if you have either max interest or tons of gold youre starting to get relatively late in a run for square to be valuable imo

idk i just dont like square being 4 chips

[flat tiger]

i mean sure its common, but 4 per hand that shuts down flush/stright is quite bad

[pale wolf]

how does that shut down straight or flush

[flat tiger]

bus feel stronger with $1 per mult

you cant play flush or straight if you want to stake up square

[pale wolf]

if you need a large hand to win the 4 chips isnt the difference thats gonna make it

[flat tiger]

which is already slow

[royal bobcat]

breaking news: one of the best jokers in the game is better than square joker

[frank grove]

but you have to use hands to discard to find flushes and straights

[royal bobcat]

(im taking the piss dont be mad)

[frank grove]

so you just play 4 cards

straights dont really need more chips but flushes kinda do

[jagged cliff]

the humble four fingers:

[royal bobcat]

who out there usin four fingers

i know about strushes okay dont tell me

[royal bobcat]

other than strushes i dont really see how valuable 4F is over like a shortcut though usually you don't have the choice right

i mean i guess if you have a free fifth slot?

[quartz crypt]

just negative tag it\

[royal bobcat]

this is my character arc and it's about not hating 4F anymore

and they say storytelling is dead

who's they? the enemies in my head

[jagged cliff]

shortcut is not gonna help my 3024958th flush build

[frank grove]

🔥

[royal bobcat]

do u need 4F for flushes tho

[jagged cliff]

early on

and if i have a square joker

[royal bobcat]

im just asking questions don't shoot the messenger

[jagged cliff]

[humble dune]

I love that when using baron mime with red seal kings, you can express the score increase per king using the silly ^ symbol

[echo sphinx]

winning setup

[flat tiger]

i wonder why the only art change in the dave the diver version is 4 fingers

TBH i think the dave version looks better

[jagged cliff]

whaaat

ive never played it

this is my first time hearing about it

From what im seeing is here, the left side looks worse imo

Like the score stuff

But the jokers seem clean

[flat tiger]

you only get 3 ante basically

and no deck fixing

[jagged cliff]

Not a big fan of the font

[flat tiger]

and a lot less jokers

[jagged cliff]

The Jimbo coin is cool

Wow wait, why's there all kinds of keys you can press

[flat tiger]

the meme about it in the game "if someone made a game like this it will sell a lot"

[jagged cliff]

Balatro is a mouse game!!!

[flat tiger]

technically balatro has a lot of hotkeys the game never told you about

[jagged cliff]

I know about R

And escape

And I think that's the end of the list

[gaunt nacelle]

Why does this game use play integrity

[gaunt nacelle]

It doesn't even work on custom roms

[jagged cliff]

Also Alt + F4

[flat tiger]

i am pretty sure play and discard has a key, and right click un-select all cards

[jagged cliff]

Yeah but rightmouse is still mouse

From what I remember, the only keyboard keys that work are holding R and Esc

Could be wrong

[willow frost]

the right click one is so annoying lol

[flat tiger]

i am jsut really curious why 4 finger is the only joker they changed the art work on

[jagged cliff]

Annoying?

[willow frost]

yeah i keep accidentally clicking it and resetting 5 hours of progress on playing the hand

[jagged cliff]

Maybe that hand is supposed to be a reference or something

I don't know

[jagged cliff]

It's not that deep 😭

[willow frost]

it is

years of my life gone

[jagged cliff]

I suppose you're right

[pale wolf]

ew

[frank grove]

what is this??

[jagged cliff]

Balatro the Diver

[flat tiger]

the mini version of balatro in dave the diver

[willow frost]

why is it big round lol

[vestal copper]

wow this is horrible

[willow frost]

i rate that actually

[flat tiger]

they changed the wording like calling the game "jimbo cards"

[willow frost]

fire

[jagged cliff]

Why play Jimbo Cards if you can play Balatro

[flat tiger]

because I played dave the diver before knowing balatro

i mean I heard about it

[jagged cliff]

Makes sense then

[flat tiger]

if you play balatro first obviously you wont touch it in dave otehr then finishing the quest

[jagged cliff]

I remember hearing about it from a random reaction yt channel, they name dropped it when talking about a banana
Went to look it up, looked super difficult and never thought about it until I saw Markiplier play it

[jagged cliff]

Does it work the same

Like same Joker stats and stuff

[flat tiger]

its super lite version, but is works basically the same

[jagged cliff]

Interesting

[flat tiger]

well i mean suit jokers are stronger

they are +4 instead of +3

[jagged cliff]

Cool cool

[eternal rose]

So uh I think I’m soft locked

[flat tiger]

did you double immolate

[eternal rose]

My photo has kernel panic

Phone*

How tf do you even save scum in Balatro

[jagged cliff]

you cant

[eternal rose]

Why did you say it

[jagged cliff]

Uhhhh

Say what

[eternal rose]

Wow

[jagged cliff]

But how did you manage this then?

There is a way to savescum, and sometimes when you open a pack and savescum after, it can brick your game like this

[molten thicket]

you can

[jagged cliff]

So that's why I assumed

[jagged cliff]

I know

Was just joking around

[molten thicket]

prob result of savescumming

[eternal rose]

Sorry my phone rebooted again

[willow frost]

what the hell is that galaxy profile effect lmao

[eternal rose]

Basically every 3m or so my phone shut off on it’s own

[willow frost]

oh rip

[molten thicket]

might be why

[eternal rose]

And I was opening a pack 3s before it got into a reboot loop again

[jagged cliff]

Well there you go

[willow frost]

thats unfortunate

[jagged cliff]

So you didn't savescum

Your phone just didn't want you to succeed

[eternal rose]

But like I want to un soft lock

[jagged cliff]

Can't

Gotta start a new run

[eternal rose]

Damn

[jagged cliff]

I know it's hard

I've had it too

Just make sure to not open a pack if you know your phone is gonna reboot

Mine died once while opening one and that's how I figured out that it can brick like that

[echo sphinx]

this start so bad lol

[jagged cliff]

Never open a pack ante 1 shop

[echo sphinx]

looks inside
pants hologram

i have to take it

[pale wolf]

how do you unlock the scribbly

[jagged cliff]

That's good value

I'd do it too

[eternal rose]

Duck nugget

[echo sphinx]

and now i win

[jagged cliff]

GG

[jagged cliff]

Wish there was a way

[glad viper]

i pray on ye downfall

[echo sphinx]

pray harder

[glad viper]

IM TRYING

[frank grove]

Abandoned++ is over!!!

[willow frost]

GG!

[frank grove]

this still looks so stupid 😭

[vestal copper]

ggs

[jagged cliff]

Pair played I see

[frank grove]

and the jokers

which makes sense honestly

[torpid notch]

What does the average pair lvl get to on a run for you

[frank grove]

24 - 30 ish

ive got to like 45/50 before a few times

[torpid notch]

Solid shot

[frank grove]

it was 52 wins

[vestal copper]

so what now

pairless c++?

[jagged cliff]

What do you mean, now you can finally play the game

[frank grove]

Ive already done c++ 2 times before this

this is the third time i did it

[vestal copper]

and the last?

[frank grove]

Probably the last before 1.1

[vestal copper]

fair

[frank grove]

when 1.1 i probably do it again

[jagged cliff]

Can't wait for 1.1

[vestal copper]

same

[frank grove]

someone did mention green++ yesterday and that sounds somewhat interesting

[frank grove]

other abandoned++ stats

[slow iris]

plasma++

[jagged cliff]

Do we know anything about 1.1, like balances, new jokers, if so how many at least?
I know said things about taking his time and everything, was just curious if we know stuff about the update itself

[vestal copper]

matador rework

[jagged cliff]

Interesting

[frank grove]

New bana was teased

new smeared art

and new animations for loyalty card maybe

[vestal copper]

x2 money gained 🔥

surely balanced

[narrow scroll]

what does 'changed serpent to draw max 3 cards' mean?

[frank grove]

when you play 5 cards it draws 3, when you play 1 it draws 1

[jagged cliff]

Whaaata

[frank grove]

same with discards

[narrow scroll]

ahh okay
that seems like a good change

[frank grove]

yeah it makes it a slightly interesting boss for ante 8 and stop nan runs quite a lot

[jolly relic]

some people really need to die and idk why its wrong to think that

[jagged cliff]

So no more naneinf baron mime?

[vestal copper]

naneinf gutted 😦

[frank grove]

Yeah, you can with perkeo still

[jagged cliff]

Shoot gotta naneinf on PC quick then before the change

[frank grove]

but oh and crimson bug and chicot exploit is gone in 1.1

[jagged cliff]

The bean bug?

[narrow scroll]

💔

[frank grove]

yeah bean bug got fixed whilst fixing something else for a new joker

[torpid notch]

When is 1.1 dropping

[jagged cliff]

When it's done

[vestal copper]

soon™

[frank grove]

only thunk knows that and i doubt even he does 😭

[torpid notch]

Fair enough

[slow iris]

ma'am this is the game-discussion channel in the balatro discord server

[vestal copper]

blord truly is a place

[jolly relic]

do you want me to go to the i think rich people and anyone who even slightly negatively impacts my day should die server instead

[torpid notch]

Uh this is a wendys

[narrow scroll]

yeah

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1463720276872265728.webp?size=48&name=quogplush~1&lossless=true

[frank grove]

and this is the win% for abandoned++ which isnt too bad? but also not amazing

i think it i wasnt sticker hunting so hard it would be closer to 70

[jolly relic]

it doesnt exist

so

i think ill stay here

[narrow scroll]

unfortunate

[echo sphinx]

guys what

[frank grove]

oops all scalers

[echo sphinx]

what do i take lol

[jolly relic]

ew red card ew green joker

[echo sphinx]

i can only hold 4

[jolly relic]

skip

[jagged cliff]

You can also make your way to the off topic, since well, it's off topic

[jolly relic]

or reroll

[torpid notch]

I like green joker

[frank grove]

what deck?

[willow frost]

localthunk should use a bigger number storing library ngl

[echo sphinx]

painted

[jolly relic]

im sure theres rich people and people who might have made my day a bit worse in this server though

[torpid notch]

I think 300e is enough

[echo sphinx]

nah idk abt that

[jolly relic]

that play this game

[echo sphinx]

id rather just move the e precision

[narrow scroll]

naneinf is like a core part of the game though atp
it's a big goal that people like achieving

[jagged cliff]

what are you talking about

[frank grove]

I mean knowing that he only really cares about the ante 8 experience i doubt this will ever happen

[willow frost]

it doesnt have to be like omeganum levels of big, just a bit bigger would work

[jolly relic]

i think rich people and people that make my day worse deserve to die

[echo sphinx]

chat?

[frank grove]

i say keep bus

[jagged cliff]

But there's a lot of people who enjoy endless, there's a possibility that he would look at endless and do some changing

[jolly relic]

and then reroll

for

idol

[jagged cliff]

Interesting

[willow frost]

how much worse exactly, because that could be a lot of people lol

[frank grove]

Yeah people do like endless but thunk doesnt design the game around it so

[echo sphinx]

someone wise once said
the biggest enemy is yourself

[pale wolf]

The better question is is there even a version of the game that would work if it was designed around endless

[jagged cliff]

That's true, but endless is still a feature

[jolly relic]

even the slightest bit

[shell dagger]

balancing around endless likely makes the core gameplay worse

[jolly relic]

what are you talking about

[jagged cliff]

There's no way to know unless said otherwise

[echo sphinx]

based

[pale wolf]

It's like saying so many people love balatro multiplayer, it would only make sense if thunk would add it
Even though he's repeatedly said that multiplayer will never be a part of vanilla balatro

[narrow scroll]

i think there's a decent amount of people who only aim to get naneinf for a good portion of their playtime
and a good few people who picked up the game just seeing the really big numbers

[echo sphinx]

some jokers just so happen to work on endless

[cloud sinew]

he wouldnt add stuff for endless first and foremost, it would just be emergent from something designed for ante 8. localthunk considers endless secondary to ante 8

[jagged cliff]

I never said there needs to be more balancing, he needs to do what he wants it's his own game
But I was just wondering if there would be something like a bigger number instead of getting naneinf at ante 39 if i remember correctly?

[jolly relic]

what if theres a whole new joker library or just alternate versions of jokers that fit endless 🥰🥰

[frank grove]

for sure there are people like that but he has the data which is like the median player only plays like 15 hours in total

[jolly relic]

great idea right guys

[willow frost]

so fire

[pale wolf]

we kind of already do know what happens if the score cap gets increased; It's just several more hours of the exact same gameplay

[shell dagger]

what would the point be

[willow frost]

we will be making endlatro

[shell dagger]

without adding more stuff for endless (which thunk won’t do) why extend the most boring part of endless (33-39)

[frank grove]

he also said that hes considered making the scoring way wayy harsher in endless before iirc?

[jolly relic]

omg look at my new villager

[willow frost]

does that mean faster scaling or higher naneinf

[shell dagger]

Faster scaling

[frank grove]

faster scaling

[jagged cliff]

That's at least a change
That's all I was wondering, if endless was getting anything
Harder, easier, longer, just anything

[willow frost]

oh ok cool

[shell dagger]

like naneinf at ante 32 or something

[jagged cliff]

I don't mind if it stays the same

But a man can wonder

[jolly relic]

pee time

[pale wolf]

I think the scaling could be tweaked a little bit so it's less drastic a10

[cloud sinew]

#🎙・server-chat message

[willow frost]

thank goodness ante 32 is a pain

[frank grove]

thank you !!

[pale wolf]

While I don't believe in endless, it would be nice if the limit of builds sort of distributed among the endless antes rather than everything dying in the same one

[willow frost]

yeah

[jolly relic]

i think i should get 5 dollars each time i get naninf

[willow frost]

its unfair that played card builds just die but theres not much you can do about that

[cloud sinew]

endless isnt meant to be fair

[jagged cliff]

We'll see what adds, whatever it is, it'll probably be fun

[pale wolf]

what if they made endless mode actually endless; As in you can no longer lose in it, and each round ends when you use up all of your hands/ deck

no more score requirements

[jagged cliff]

You should become ceo

[pale wolf]

it would change from being able to reach naneinf to how fast can you reach it

it would open up the playing field for any skill level while also making endless mode fun for its actual purpose, which is just to see how far a build can go

[jagged cliff]

I feel like then it would be an actual endless yeah

Good ideas

[quartz crypt]

ew white discord

[frank grove]

Oh yeah im a light mode user on basically everything 😭

[pale wolf]

isn't dark mode the default these days, are you manually changing it to light mode

[frank grove]

Yeah

[jagged cliff]

you when you open any application

https://klipy.com/gifs/icarly-carly-shay

[frank grove]

well i also have my monitors really low brightness anyway

[jagged cliff]

I gotta say, this looks really ass

[pale wolf]

this only applies if the screen was dark beforehand

their screen was never dark to begin with

[frank grove]

yeah discords is pretty bad compared to other light modes on things

[pale wolf]

Discord was never meant to be light mode

[jagged cliff]

How can you not prefer something like this, so much easier on the eyes

[willow frost]

oh i thought that was reddit lmao

[pale wolf]

I'm guessing they only added it because Discord started getting big and companies started using it

[frank grove]

Idk its a personal thing dont ask me?

[pale wolf]

but why don't they just use slack

[willow frost]

ok what is this lol

[jagged cliff]

Uh, Discord?

[pale wolf]

nitro Discord gets funky gradient backgrounds that I don't really enjoy

[frank grove]

also discord has had light mode for a really long time

since like at least 2016

[jagged cliff]

Hey if you prefer light mode, that's fine

[willow frost]

the gradient is not necessary lol

[jagged cliff]

Oh sorry

[pale wolf]

I like it on the profiles

[frank grove]

I wish theme creators for discord clients made better light modes

ive just been really lazy on making my own 😭

[jagged cliff]

I have used the nitro display feature for a while now, forgot discord looks so bland normally

[pale wolf]

I prefer the true black

[jagged cliff]

Ah yes, Onyx

Looks nice as well

[pale wolf]

on any platform i can manage

[frank grove]

Yeah ive just never really used dark modes on most things so im super used to light modes

[willow frost]

my discord is really squished because i made it take up half my screen one time and never changed it back lol

its nice though

[jagged cliff]

It looks cozy

[willow frost]

yeah

[pale wolf]

dark mode makes so much sense, especially in the era of oled displays where having black pixels actually saves battery

[jagged cliff]

Wait you have a square monitor?

[pale wolf]

That's why I don't like the gray background

[willow frost]

no its a normal one, i just did that voluntarily lol

[jagged cliff]

Ah

Cool cool

[frank grove]

I just find dark modes so much harder to parse and read, but oled with 100% black makes a lot of sense

[jagged cliff]

I agree that the black does look better than the gray one

But discord, let me put custom background as background

🙏

[willow frost]

true

[pale wolf]

instead they will disable your account for even attempting to do this with third party apps

they can't let you put a PNG as the background because what if they want to charge you for that privilege in 3 years

[jagged cliff]

They did have a feature like that for just a few days before removing it, it was only in beta and a few peeps could use it

I would love having my laptop background the same on discord

Especially if it can be moving as well

But doubt they want to give us freedom

[frank grove]

Yeah

[echo sphinx]

this sh won gold stake

no xmult, no problem

[jagged cliff]

Who need xmult anyway

[echo sphinx]

frfr

[pale wolf]

rocket+bull might as well be

[echo sphinx]

zodiac, anaglyth, erratic left

and one Golden Needle and one Jokerless

[frank grove]

lol

[fringe nebula]

nice

[echo sphinx]

tied with erratic

[clever shadow]

i'm another case of being utterly unable to unlock palette, which seems to be a known issue. i really don't feel like doing a 10th run of reaching a 5 hand size and not unlocking it... is there like a dev console or a save file editor or anything of the sort i can use to only unlock palette? i don't want to use unlock all since i want to get everything else legitimately

[royal bobcat]

What's ur least fav joker n why

[jagged cliff]

[weak relic]

Baron.

[mental bloom]

ummmm... what a question...

i wonder which one it is...

[jagged cliff]

can i take a guess

[clever shadow]

alternatively, i'd take a seed with stuntman and ecto near the start, so i can keep trying more quickly with the seeded unlocks option

[echo sphinx]

cuz it dies

[royal bobcat]

I'll go first my least fav joker is square because square is lame and slow and pairslop

[weak relic]

[mental bloom]

sure

[weak relic]

Someone apparently hates banana?

[jagged cliff]

Does this joker look sad upside down?

[mental bloom]

guess

[jagged cliff]

might it be

hear me out

be Idol

[mental bloom]

does it? I have no idea

[mental bloom]

WHAT

HOW DID YOU KNOW

[jagged cliff]

looks p sad to me

[weak relic]

Idol also very stinky

[jagged cliff]

idk i just get this energy from you

[mental bloom]

oh i get what you mean

[jagged cliff]

idk how to explain

[weak relic]

I just hate endless jokers except tribby. Im indifferent to him

[mental bloom]

also do you actually had a pic of an upside down Idol

[mental bloom]

dayummmm

diviner

[mental bloom]

true

[mental bloom]

dw

[jagged cliff]

Yeah, I had an argument with an #1 idol lover and I was talking about how Idol looks sad upside down cause he knows hes a letdown

[mental bloom]

ooooh damn

where is this person

[willow frost]

xmultless c++ when

[mental bloom]

i need to

see

and DISCUSS a reasonable way

[willow frost]

i would also be sad upside down ngl

[jagged cliff]

Fouler (#1 idol glazer)

[vestal copper]

i would also be sad if i was idol

[fringe nebula]

burglar meta

[mental bloom]

oh i remember him yea ive seen him before

tupid

[willow frost]

true

[jagged cliff]

understandable

[mental bloom]

i remember that at one point we were arguing and some guy said "you two should kiss"

[jagged cliff]

Bro was talking smack about my goat Goatstone

[jagged cliff]

Reasonable

[mental bloom]

goatstone

[vestal copper]

taxevasion~1

[willow frost]

oh yeah

[willow frost]

that was fire

[mental bloom]

lol he didn't want to unfortunately

[mental bloom]

kill him!!!

[jagged cliff]

Yo bro don't look at me like that, I know I needed to deckfix but I was too lazy Im sorry

[jagged cliff]

Shoot

Sad sad days

[mental bloom]

L joker fr

[echo sphinx]

lol what kinda masochist is this

[mental bloom]

ye :'(

[random lark]

lowroll...

[echo sphinx]

how would it even work

[mental bloom]

yo is that shi?

[jagged cliff]

Game about gambling btw

[mental bloom]

i love gambling

i don't optimize my run

[willow frost]

idol when youre 30 antes into the run but forgot about a single 4 of diamonds

[mental bloom]

i GAMBLE

[jagged cliff]

Idol needs so much maintenance, i dont have time for that

[mental bloom]

and if I can't gamble I LOSE

[random lark]

game about getting consistent to minimize the gambling aspect and maximize the money you make

[quartz crypt]

note to self: dont ecto twice with two pair build

[vestal copper]

bloodstone is bad

[jagged cliff]

Hey you should love goatstone, you're the one with the heart role

[mental bloom]

FR bro's only useful in late antes and still will pick another card instead of the one you copied

[jagged cliff]

Snail... cmon dude...

[weak relic]

Bloodst*ne

[mental bloom]

diamonds

[jagged cliff]

Idol be such a crybaby sometimes when things dont go his way smh

[mental bloom]

EXACTLY MY POINT

tupid joker

[mental bloom]

true fact :

[random lark]

oops all sixes is better than bloodstone in many situations

[random lark]

yo why don't you keep a tower to turn the 4 into stone

[mental bloom]

damn :(

[jagged cliff]

But why would I play oops anyway

I can just run Bloodstone

[random lark]

lucky cards

[weak relic]

[jagged cliff]

And even better, I can run 2 instead of an oops

[mental bloom]

i can but it's still complicated to draw the 4 of diamonds if I have lots of copies of the same card already

[random lark]

(this is worse than bloodstone oops)

[jagged cliff]

So not only do you need lucky cards, you need to draw em and hope they hit with a 2/5 adn 2/15

while goatstone had 1/2

I like my odds

[vestal copper]

bp bloodstone :clueless:

[royal bobcat]

One day people will see the light and respect hit the road

[vestal copper]

hit the road is good

[mental bloom]

hit the road is underrated asf

[jagged cliff]

I always pick HTR on abandoned, pretty solid

[random lark]

respecting a good joker? impossible

[mental bloom]

actually very good mult source if you have the right setup

[royal bobcat]

I used to be a hater

Then it saved 2 of my runs in a row that were about to be taken out back and ever since I'm grateful

[mental bloom]

ouija turning your whole deck into jacks 🤤

[pale wolf]

hit the road is fine when its not getting stabbed in the abdomen by boss blinds

[vestal copper]

hrt can be useful in a lot of situations

[shell dagger]

or when your jacks don’t have anchors attached to them

[mental bloom]

HRT YAY

anyways

[royal bobcat]

Bottom decking all 4 jacks

[jagged cliff]

Purple seal jacks + HTR

[vestal copper]

if your deck is all jacks you cant bottom deck

[mental bloom]

i prefer hrt to htr

[mental bloom]

go brrrrrr

[random lark]

bloodstone has no econ potential and your score shouldn't be reliant on a joker's rng anyway
also oops all sixes synergizes with a lot of other econ jokers

[vestal copper]

hrt is a funny name

[jagged cliff]

What's hit road the

[willow frost]

i think ive had one or two htr runs in my life but i've never stopped glazing it since

[vestal copper]

its simply just fun

[mental bloom]

yes

[jagged cliff]

Game with a lot of rng btw

[mental bloom]

it has a meaning

[mental bloom]

noooo

[vestal copper]

with the blue rework its gonna be even better

[jagged cliff]

What's the rework gonna be? Lose all discards

[random lark]

your goal is to mitigate that rng by the way

[mental bloom]

hrt is hormone replacement therapy

[jagged cliff]

Ohhh right right

[mental bloom]

so it's confirmed? nice

[jagged cliff]

my fav joker

[mental bloom]

same

[random lark]

blue rework on its way to add another random joker sticker

[royal bobcat]

Guess the % of this chat that wished they had hrt

[vestal copper]

like 15%

[mental bloom]

LOTS of people imo

[vestal copper]

overall more tho

[willow frost]

why cant you just play lucky cards and bloodstone at the same time (directed at the people talking about that)

[mental bloom]

hell yeah

[vestal copper]

like 35%

[mental bloom]

yeah at least

[jagged cliff]

35%?

[mental bloom]

oh yeah trust

[jagged cliff]

I think at least 35.1% right??

Like 35 is kinda low

[vestal copper]

there are so many tgs on dc

[royal bobcat]

35% of chatters wanting to be on hrt?

[mental bloom]

at least yeah

[royal bobcat]

Let's do a poll

I can't do a poll

[jagged cliff]

Terrific Giant Snails??

[royal bobcat]

1984

[jagged cliff]

Ohhh tgs

[random lark]

i would say just like celeste but celeste is prob higher

[jagged cliff]

nvm

[mental bloom]

most of the people i met here were tgs

[mental bloom]

t girls I think ;P

[vestal copper]

definitely😭

this game is cursed

[mental bloom]

can't do a poll either

[royal bobcat]

There's no way a game can top celeste except maybe HoE 4

[jagged cliff]

Yea no yea Ive never seen that abbreviation

[mental bloom]

lol dww x3

[random lark]

just do a reaction poll

(every voter will be exposed)

[mental bloom]

Who wants to be on HRT ?

[royal bobcat]

I'd also say Warhammer but there's way too many dudes to dilute the pool

[mental bloom]

react to this

[royal bobcat]

Instructions unclear

Reacted to that message

[mental bloom]

idk if the question is well said

[random lark]

heard someone say fallout new vegas has similar numbers

[mental bloom]

tupid

[vestal copper]

white cis males still prevail

[mental bloom]

grrrr

[vestal copper]

the target community of gaming

[royal bobcat]

FUCK I forgot about fnv you're right

[terse vale]

I want to be on any hrt that gives me eyes like an alien and tentacles like one too

alien hormones

[mental bloom]

peak

zib zob zob

[pale wolf]

hormone replacement therapy but it's replacing your puny human hormones with strong chad alien hormones

[jagged cliff]

Bogos Binted

[mental bloom]

NO OTHER PEOPLE IN YES RN???

[random lark]

become a fake eldritch today at the low low price of 5 million dollars!

[mental bloom]

DAYUM :(

[vestal copper]

hormones that turn you into a cat

[willow frost]

you might just need therapy no hormones lmao

[mental bloom]

hey just wondering if you got your photos printed ?

[royal bobcat]

Hrt but it changed DNA and turns you into the xenomorph

[pale wolf]

I'll throw in a tentative yes, seems fun

[willow frost]

photos printed 🧑

[mental bloom]

lol heheh

[royal bobcat]

[terse vale]

had my weirdest flush run on the zodiac deck yesterday
even weirder than my gold stake nebula run

[mental bloom]

hrib on hrt too? YAY

:3

[barren verge]

It's so weird to be in a normal server after being in dozens of transphobic ones

[barren verge]

well, I wish

[vestal copper]

are you transmasc

[mental bloom]

awwwh :(

[random lark]

servers in question so everyone here can avoid them

[barren verge]

yeah

[mental bloom]

you're welcome here!

[vestal copper]

alr

[mental bloom]

good luck!!!

[vestal copper]

ive never been in tfobic servs

[barren verge]

mostly school ones XD like idk why my classmates kept making dozens of servers 😭

[mental bloom]

you don't need to dw

[random lark]

of course a school group chat is gonna be like that

[vestal copper]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

Im probably in server where there are people who are, but im in a lot of servers

And I dont interact with those anyway

[random lark]

the one i'm in is prolly worse tbh

[vestal copper]

fair

im a fucking celeste dc chatter

woke pilled

[jagged cliff]

This is like half or less

[vestal copper]

god damn 😭

[random lark]

terraria and uhh prolly balatro multiplayer right?

[ancient gyro]

u forgot to leave the brawl stars discord

[royal bobcat]

Normal server with many ragebaiters I guess

[jagged cliff]

Yeah most servers that I dont use are just there for the emotes and soundboard

[vestal copper]

bs dc is prob hell on earth

[mental bloom]

true

[ancient gyro]

i was only ever in na scrim servers and asian boys, my former official club back in 21

[jagged cliff]

I'd guess so yeah

[ancient gyro]

don't interact with supercell official servers, they're no different than reddit official servers lol

[vestal copper]

i wonder what happens in the newblood dc

[vestal copper]

sob

[random lark]

official servers in general

[vestal copper]

so true

[random lark]

except for the niche games because the niche game discords are usually chiller

[jagged cliff]

Isn't this an official server

hmmm alr alr

[unique pecan]

Rasberries

[jagged cliff]

Balatro isn't niche, it won indie game of the year right

[vestal copper]

raspberries taste good

balatro is pretty appealing

its just poker 2

a niche game is smth like celeste

[jagged cliff]

And with Gambonanza on the horizon we finally get Chess 2

[random lark]

it wasn't meant to go mainstream at all but it was just too good

[jagged cliff]

LocalThunk just had a great idea, a great style and made it into a masterpiece

[vestal copper]

the ui is just so good icl

[jagged cliff]

Literally

[vestal copper]

pretty genius sound design too

and the gp loop is actually pretty fun

[jagged cliff]

Oh dont get me started, it just sounds so relaxing to listen to

[vestal copper]

and balanced in a way

[jagged cliff]

Never did I expect this game to become my all time favorite

[vestal copper]

the pair problem is prevalent but there are actually a lot of ways to play

yeah i dont usually like pure games without story and osts

but balala just does it well

[jagged cliff]

Game so good, I put it in everything I play and do, I even tried to make a Minecraft texture pack which was balatro inspired

[random lark]

if there is one game whose discords i am VERY hesitant on joining it's roblox, not even cus of preds but just bc people are weird

[vestal copper]

roblox is death

[jagged cliff]

You can always join and leave it in the list

Most servers Im in are just there for the emotes, sounds and sometimes updates

Except Balatro bc balatro just too goated

[ancient gyro]

their sense of humor is still in development

[random lark]

only roblox discord i actually didn't leave is tumore because the people are weird in a good way

[vestal copper]

their brains are still in development

[pale wolf]

there are some individual Roblox minigame discord servers that have more members than entire successful indie games playerbases

[random lark]

forsaken prolly

[vestal copper]

id say grace, pressure and block tales might have decent communities?

[ancient gyro]

not my dress to impress discord server

[vestal copper]

forsaken is such a ruined game

[random lark]

-game has potential
-game ruins potential
-dev exposed for pdf things

[vestal copper]

sadly

[jagged cliff]

Thats how it usually goes right

[vestal copper]

pedo syndrome 😔

[random lark]

always in that order because the dev has to ruin the game before getting exposed
step 3 doesn't have to happen btw

[vestal copper]

the only person i found cool and then was revealed as a predator is shayy 🥀

[jagged cliff]

Ohh right that was also a thing

[random lark]

dbd is a victim of steps 1 and 2 because the game became a 9 to 5 of hitting survivors and getting pallet stunned for killers

[jagged cliff]

Forgot about Shayy

[random lark]

"i can't read, i'm an undertale fan!"

[ancient gyro]

i don't really care for the roblox community, just play with my irl friends for a little bit in high school and that's about it

[vestal copper]

😔

[echo sphinx]

whats the plan around zodiac
like do i just play normally

[echo sphinx]

a concerning numbre of games follow this pattern

[mental bloom]

tarot and planet are the most important here

[echo sphinx]

aren't tarot and planets already the most important

[mental bloom]

so constellation is a xmult joker you can search for

[jagged cliff]

Roblox has so many games, but no games

[ancient gyro]

games

unlimited games

[jagged cliff]

but no games

[ancient gyro]

but no games

[mental bloom]

yeah but this deck especially gives you a starting advantage with them + the coolest voucher in the game which is overstock

[ancient gyro]

pretty much

[echo sphinx]

goatiak deck indeed

[ancient gyro]

aka bus

[mental bloom]

also you need a good econ and probably the reroll voucher cuz rerolls are helpful here

[random lark]

i fail to invest myself for a while into a lot of updating games i try to play longterm and then the devs end up making horrendous decisions for the game
only game i can remember that didn't do this is terraria

[pure schooner]

Wait shld i pick up showman

[mental bloom]

nah

[terse vale]

some of these people are painfully unfunny

[echo sphinx]

terraria is good (i dont play it)

[terse vale]

they’re still stuck in 2021

[echo sphinx]

agreege

[pure schooner]

Alr bet

[echo sphinx]

2021? whats that

[mental bloom]

yeah roblox is so doomed

[jagged cliff]

Does Terraria still get updates?

[strange compass]

What should I do?

[mental bloom]

i cant bear this ugly game nor the community

[shell dagger]

it got one 2 months ago

[terse vale]

baron mime and trib
you’re gonna have to choose one to go all into

[ancient gyro]

they just got a major one a couple months ago

[mental bloom]

SIGIL GAMBLE ON SPADES

[echo sphinx]

sigil idk

[random lark]

got one 2 months ago so it's gonna be getting patches for a while

[willow frost]

are you doing baron mime or trib photochad lol

[jagged cliff]

Ahh, I've only recently started with just 50+ hours rn, gonna be getting some more

But i didnt know it kept getting updates

[terse vale]

prolly just skip right

[strange compass]

I can savescum it ye

I've already fought the spade boss

[mental bloom]

oh perfect

so did you sigil?

[ancient gyro]

nothing, too many black suits in hand

[cloud minnow]

How can these three win?

[mental bloom]

flush, high card, straights

[strange compass]

Sigil was making Hearts so I skipped

[mental bloom]

crap

[random lark]

nebula has easy access to planet levels (pair/straight build)
abandoned has less cards so 5 card hands are easier (straight/strush build)
ghost deck (immolate angle)

[strange compass]

Ive fought the spade boss so I can do however many spades now

[frank grove]

nebula has easy access to unfun town

[ancient gyro]

this doesn't change my answer

[strange compass]

What do I have to worry about now

[ancient gyro]

card draw hindering bosses

[strange compass]

Also, I keep forgetting that Black let's you have 6 jokers

Is ts gonna score 😭

[frank grove]

that should be more than 8k right?

[willow frost]

thats 65*66 right

yeah im unsure

[jagged cliff]

Balatro calc says 4k

Which isnt enough

Too bad

[ancient gyro]

i wasn't too far off the mark

[strange compass]

It's like 4.2k

[strange compass]

If only I drew my damn steel queen bruhhh

Deck fixing with trading card isn't always worth it

[jagged cliff]

You need some better luck

take these

[strange compass]

Also I should've ditched astronomer at this point

[willow frost]

playing a pair of queens scores marginally more but not enough either lol

[willow frost]

thank you tutorial man

[lavish gazelle]

What about just the 5oak

[lavish gazelle]

Man, small blind's got hands

[jagged cliff]

Its always the small ones you gotta look out for

[minor spear]

GG

Only 4 Stakes left

[strange compass]

Ye I did that to die

[jagged cliff]

Yo... dont you think youve played enough 😭

[strange compass]

Showman stop goofing around and dupe my fib

[lavish gazelle]

I must keep going in the mirror dungeon mines

I need more boxes 🗣️

[strange compass]

Also does double showman increase the odds?

🤞

Cuz I can afford him with rebate

[jagged cliff]

35 hours dude...

cmon

[lavish gazelle]

I'm not addicted I can quit anytime

[jagged cliff]

That's what they all say

[round swift]

Chat if i have an immolate but my hand has less than 5 cards, does it still work?

[jagged cliff]

One way to find out

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[jagged cliff]

Try it!

[jagged cliff]

Get yo ass home silksong

[serene forge]

if you do it in round you draw more cards, if you do it in a pack you get softlocked if it's a mega pack

[round swift]

I see
Thanks

[strange compass]

Is the greed worth it 🤭

[jagged cliff]

As long as you have enough score

[tranquil oasis]

I just lost by one chip on gold stake

[frank grove]

woof...

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[jagged cliff]

Dude

And to think we share the same suit

How can you hate one of THE localthunk's creations

A really good one no less

[serene forge]

me when I lie

[proper bronze]

hi i'm a horse i hate bloodstone

[jagged cliff]

Why hate any joker

All jokers are good at something

[serene forge]

idol:

[pale wolf]

good at losing

[jagged cliff]

Why are you being jokerist

[serene forge]

at least idol is bbc value

what is baron good for

[pale wolf]

delgrat

baron is a good judgement hit

[serene forge]

true

[proper bronze]

what is bloodstone good in

[pale wolf]

this start and nothing else

[midnight quest]

Check out this jokers! Assume defensive formation and disable run-ending boss blind

[jagged cliff]

in having a 1/2 chance to give 1.5x mult for every heart card

reading the card explains the card

[pale wolf]

not checkered, doesnt make sense

wtf

[serene forge]

if you read the card you would know that it has a 1 in 9.5 chance of 0.44x mult per heart card

[proper bronze]

that's not being "good"

[jagged cliff]

That's not what it says

[serene forge]

that is exactly what it says

[midnight quest]

This time, I’ll get The Idol with face cards and go deeper into endless mode

[pale wolf]

^ that is what my game has too

[jagged cliff]

shoot youre right

guess bloodstone sucks

[random lark]

secret baron raised fist combo

[jagged cliff]

Cat and oops, im listening

[noble timber]

dusk too

👀

[jagged cliff]

Yurp yurp

This run going smooth so far

a full x1

[humble dune]

Is this game unbalanced

If so, in what way

[lavish gazelle]

Pair lobotomy

[rich mauve]

idk what's more wrong with this picture

using bloodstone

or

using 2 bloodstones

[echo sphinx]

lol

[slow iris]

i see that kidnapping behind the description lol

[jagged cliff]

Pretty fun run with a pretty fat cat

[ember plinth]

obese ass cat

[jagged cliff]

Like actually

[ember plinth]

my grandma has like 40 of those at her house

they are actually fat as fuck

[long zodiac]

And they’re both eternal rentals

[jagged cliff]

Decisions decisions

[long zodiac]

What’s the cat at

[eternal rose]

Thought on looking inside?

[long zodiac]

Okay that’s interesting then

[jagged cliff]

Were putting the cat up for adoption

new cat

[long zodiac]

Nah that’s euthanization
