yeah definitely

[ancient gyro]

[azure copper]

lesgooooo

[azure copper]

i lost

on ante 8

[willow frost]

rip

[echo sphinx]

should i go 5oaking

[azure copper]

to the wall

[echo sphinx]

lets go

[echo sphinx]

and get planet x

ppl here say 5oak is bad cuz u could flush 5

but its jokerless

can i still get it without jokers giving me tarots

[azure copper]

i never play the special ones

[humble gulch]

You need to play like a monkey

[azure copper]

dot blueprint chad

blueprint hanging chad

[humble gulch]

Me sees face, me play face

Me no sees face

[torn totem]

what challeng is ts

[humble gulch]

Me discard

[humble gulch]

Golden Needle

[noble timber]

Golden needle

[torn totem]

k

[azure copper]

yeah but it would be a 7x 2x

[proper bronze]

horse walks in the chat

[azure copper]

if u blueprint photo u get 5x 2x

or am i wrong

[noble timber]

my golden needle run was pairslop💔💔

which is insane to say

[humble gulch]

Brainstorm is copying chad

[azure copper]

ohhh

didnt notice

isnt it the same thing tho
?

[humble gulch]

No

[azure copper]

brainstorm can copy blueprint that copies hanging etc

correct me if im wrong!

[humble gulch]

But blueprint is copying photo and brainstorm is copying chad...

[azure copper]

alright

[willow frost]

my golden needle run was 5 xmults

not much else to say

[noble timber]

yeah but why would they do that

[humble gulch]

And yeah, brainstorms and blueprints can copy another brainstorms and blueprints

[noble timber]

its better to be two chads and two photos

[echo sphinx]

more retriggers

[noble timber]

yeah but

its less score

[willow frost]

more retriggers is the same as more score

[echo sphinx]

more retriggers is more score

[noble timber]

idk man

[echo sphinx]

i put glass and break the entire argument in two

[frank grove]

its better to copy photo most of the time unless you have glass

[echo sphinx]

or i play a Lucky card and get some monis

[noble timber]

idk i wouldn't risk money procs on

THE golden needle

[pale wolf]

you equal copy chad+photo, leaning photo if imbalanced
but theres plenty of reason to not always use the highest scoring setup you can

[humble gulch]

You want to have the same amount of retriggers and scoring effects

[echo sphinx]

photochad with blueprint is overkill in my experience

[pale wolf]

more retriggers mean lucky procs, and scaling, and more gold seal value

[humble gulch]

Like money

[echo sphinx]

i get 100 mil
so lets make some money

[noble timber]

idk about yall but I am not risking shit on a winning run

[pale wolf]

risk isnt a factor

[echo sphinx]

valid honestly

[pale wolf]

you should know how much you'll score

[noble timber]

idk i just know some bullshit is out to get me

i have played the game for a good amount of time

and still get cucked

[humble gulch]

Today I'm gonna grind that Erratic++

[echo sphinx]

good luck reading every deck

[noble timber]

erratic deck my beloved

[echo sphinx]

i salut u

[humble gulch]

I hate erratic deck

[noble timber]

💔

its a good deck tbf

if it hits it hits

and when it doesnt

[humble gulch]

Not really

[noble timber]

ur just playing normal balala joker poker

[echo sphinx]

every game of erratic has a unique deck start

[royal shale]

erratic deck is good because it makes flushes more consistent and therefore makes Flushmaxxing slightly more bearable

[humble gulch]

Except when you get things like this in the shop

[echo sphinx]

LOL

HERE, WIN

id go hermit into mailed buffoon

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[noble timber]

dude what is there to do after c++ and naninf

[quaint stag]

gold stake players when they use hermit at 7 dollars to get 8 dollars

[echo sphinx]

win with the worst jokers as decided by this chat

[strange compass]

The type of build the game expects you to have to win a low stake black deck run

[echo sphinx]

baron throwback

real

[noble timber]

already done both

[humble gulch]

Ante 39, another C++ or something like one deck only ++ or forcing one hand on every run

[frank grove]

gs streaks, other c++ stuff, uhh more gs runs idk really

[fickle mortar]

What is the best strat to reach ante 12 for the Voucher?

[noble timber]

glass

[humble gulch]

White stake plasma

[noble timber]

or just a normal baron mime run

[frank grove]

probably something something glass sock chad photo on plasma

[molten thicket]

plasma white

[echo sphinx]

some kind of overkill run

[strange compass]

2 good jokers

[noble timber]

no

theyre both abhorrent

[fickle mortar]

Thx will try

[willow frost]

barons good for getting to ante 12

[noble timber]

baron is only good for endless

ull almost never get baron value in gold stake

[strange compass]

"All jokers are good" MFS when they see Baron or Photo

[humble gulch]

Yeah, baron is trash most of the time

[noble timber]

except for kill to dagger

[echo sphinx]

i win with both of them in the same run + bloodstone dusk lusty

still not good in like. 99.99% bacterial soup cleaning lvl runs

[willow frost]

man we trying to get to ante 12 lmao

[quaint stag]

baron is too much of an investment in non endless tbh

[humble gulch]

Yes, all jokers CAN be good

[noble timber]

^^

[quaint stag]

except blood "parlay" stone

[noble timber]

baron is only good in endless

[noble timber]

dice steroids

[vestal copper]

me when flot

[quaint stag]

bloodstone fans when they cant find a dice and die after missing their hearts flush

[echo sphinx]

bloodstone fans when

[frank grove]

could reword this to "bloodstone fans when they die."

[noble timber]

give this man a true

[willow frost]

well thats a bit rude

[vestal copper]

white stakers:

[noble timber]

nah tho bloodstone with dice can go nutty

bad thing is

u almost never encounter both

[quaint stag]

either you get dice early and pivot into something like lucky cards or you get bloodstone early and then its a sitting duck for a few antes

[frank grove]

Im never taking bloodstone without an oops already

[noble timber]

unless im desperate for score

and even then

[frank grove]

even then

ill open a celest pack over taking bloodstone when struggling for score

[quaint stag]

true!

[royal shale]

yeag

[noble timber]

bloodstone makes 1/32 look like 1/1

[quaint stag]

bloodstone cannot work without dice but dice is just fine on its own

[frank grove]

yeah dice is good cause lucky cards and cat, and hallu and things are really good by themslves already

[quaint stag]

because of things like business card/lucky card/parking/hallucination/popping gros michel

live laugh cat

[frank grove]

the problem is that bloodstone is bad by itself so a boost to poop is still kinda stinky

[humble gulch]

Real funny, Balatro

[noble timber]

its an ancient joker that takes up 2 slots

[quaint stag]

temperance maxxing

[noble timber]

thats pretty mid

[humble gulch]

Madness

[quaint stag]

madness is temporary. egg is forever

[frank grove]

its an ancient joker that takes up two slots, gets destroyed by a boss blind everytime and sometimes requires speculative bloodstone which is .. horrid

[noble timber]

sounds about right

[echo sphinx]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[quaint stag]

ancient joker glaze ❤️

[noble timber]

ancient joker does require a bit of deck fixing

but once its active its really good

[willow frost]

this is elite

[quaint stag]

tbh even without smeared ancient still gets value

[frank grove]

yeah at least aj does something

[humble gulch]

Check out this build 🔥

[quaint stag]

generational slander

[noble timber]

genuinely looks fun

[echo sphinx]

hehejehejshbjs

[echo sphinx]

madness my goat

[strange compass]

Dicestone is nice tho

[frank grove]

i hate how the suit jokers look when they're poly its so vomit

[noble timber]

reacted ❌️ to your message

[humble gulch]

Negative sinful jokers look really good

[vestal copper]

i remember taking bloodstone cuz i had dice and fucking dying

its almost always bait icl

[strange compass]

Did you make sure to play Hearts

[noble timber]

we all know cat clears midstone

[vestal copper]

i didnt draw them 😭

[frank grove]

Its only maybe okay on checkered and even then ..

it still just gets destroyed by a boss

[strange compass]

That can be tough yes

[willow frost]

no he just got killed immediately after taking it

[noble timber]

u can have an infinite amount of cards and still bloodstone not procing

[willow frost]

rip :sad:

[quaint stag]

whenever i pivot into a cat run it always feels like im getting more hits even w/out dice

[noble timber]

cant avree

agree*

[strange compass]

Cat clears all of the game not sure wym

[noble timber]

not obelisk

[echo sphinx]

#⚙・modding-general message

[noble timber]

obelisk glazers wya?👀

[frank grove]

not yorick either

[quaint stag]

whenever i get cat its always on wee builds anyways so i usually have lucky twos with red seals + hack + wee + cat

[frank grove]

LMAO

[vestal copper]

obelisk is not glazed its just recieving the respect it deserves

[quaint stag]

bloodstone slander funny as hell

[echo sphinx]

hehehehehehhjeshbjhjsbs

[noble timber]

fair enough

[frank grove]

when glazed donut joker?

[noble timber]

obelisk has grown on me

[royal shale]

OBE top 20 jokers

:3

[vestal copper]

its so goated

[noble timber]

roffle heavy showed me the light

[willow frost]

is this modded

[echo sphinx]

yeah its modded

[pale wolf]

glazing doesnt make sense as slang tbh
when you glaze a donut you've improved the donut, it doesnt have the same connotation of unearned adoration

[echo sphinx]

i mean it literally screams modded

[noble timber]

on god roffle heavy clears roffle lite

[willow frost]

how could you tell

[frank grove]

well this can be debated some people dont like glazed donuts

[pale wolf]

theyre not people

[vestal copper]

what are the differences

[frank grove]

you're right

[strange compass]

How do you even play obe? You play pair slop and then play something else?

[noble timber]

one is heavier than the other

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1008707962249941102.png?size=48&name=true~1&lossless=true

[quaint stag]

if thunk decides to change b stone i wouldnt mind if he just changed it from a 1 in 2 to a guaranteed mult but only like 1.25x mult with a chance

[echo sphinx]

theres no way bloodstone failed to proc 50 times :doesheknow:

[quaint stag]

i feel like .25x is fair

[quaint stag]

parlay stone

[willow frost]

or is there

[strange compass]

You're right it should be 0.1x

[echo sphinx]

what if bloodstone turned blood into stone

[noble timber]

so

[vestal copper]

bloodstone can theoretically not trigger with infinite hearts played

[echo sphinx]

and the deck gets stoned

[noble timber]

1.25⁵?

[quaint stag]

yeah

[noble timber]

without retriggers

[willow frost]

blud got turned into stone, bro think he medusa

[noble timber]

so 3.05x mult

[strange compass]

How do you even fix bloodstone

[noble timber]

thats not THAT bad

[quaint stag]

yeah

[strange compass]

Make it 2x?

[humble gulch]

Fuck you

[noble timber]

does he know

[frank grove]

technically bloodstone can also calculate pi cause of the whole "flipping a coin and stop when heads is more than tails in the order can calculate pi close enough"

[noble timber]

?

[echo sphinx]

rip

[quaint stag]

would be too strong

trib has 2x and can score like 10k with literally nothing on a fullhouse

[noble timber]

bludstone used to be 2x mult

[humble gulch]

My only chance is to get an ecto from the skip and get luchador

[idle kernel]

bloodstone hate 🥀💔

[royal shale]

what if we made it like. 2x and 1/3 to proc.

[noble timber]

with like

[noble timber]

oh boy

[frank grove]

well it used to be a 1/3 for 2x right?

[echo sphinx]

bro these math nerds needs to stop finding pi in everything /s

[noble timber]

does she know

[noble timber]

yes

[humble gulch]

Well, uhm

[royal shale]

not a he

[noble timber]

yeah mb

[royal shale]

and yea ik :3

[quaint stag]

4x mult... but only 1 in 16 chance to proc

[echo sphinx]

free

[noble timber]

accidental🥺

[quaint stag]

QUAD DICE BUILD SOON

[royal shale]

ur all good

[shell dagger]

what does this mean

[frank grove]

it also used to be rare and would only give +8 mult per heart imagine that now 😭

[echo sphinx]

there should be a lotto ticket joker

[humble gulch]

Nothing gets me trough, what are you talking about

[royal shale]

Seance used to be rare

[echo sphinx]

free seal

[echo sphinx]

a random played Card of rank and suit gives $1 + a 1 in 1000 chance of winning $1,000,000

[noble timber]

seance is a good joker

in my heart he is

[frank grove]

if you tally the order of bloodstone not hitting and tally it hitting and stop when one is larger than the other average out the orders across thousands of flips (or in this case hearts played) then you can calculate pi to like 3.2 or something close to that closer if you flip like 100k times

[quaint stag]

💔 ig

[noble timber]

500 dice synergy

[royal shale]

ngl its most common usecase is using tarots to force a Strush and effectively trade a tarot for a spectral and that’s still not that good, outside of that is way too uncommon

[strange compass]

That is lowkey better ngl cuz 40 base mult can be malleable than 7.5x mult into scoring

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/kahGSss6SsU probably this

[echo sphinx]

10 actually

[humble gulch]

WAIT

[echo sphinx]

but om

[pale wolf]

we love matt parker

[echo sphinx]

fullhouse faces

lets send it home

[shell dagger]

Isn’t one larger than the other after the first flip, or is it larger than the other and larger than 1

[quaint stag]

that trib gonna hit like crack in low income neighbourhoods in the 70s

[humble gulch]

Yeah...

[noble timber]

😭😭❓️❓️❓️

[echo sphinx]

rip

[quaint stag]

oof

[frank grove]

yes sometimes itll start where heads is more right away but if you continue forwards and average thousands and thousands of flips you can calculate really close to pi

[fierce flame]

Guys i just got C++ and now i want to install some balatro mods, is it sure that i won't lose my achievements?

[frank notch]

how do i check all jokers i've gold staked?

[noble timber]

collection

[strange compass]

Violet Vessel is just not fair

[noble timber]

or show stickers in run

[echo sphinx]

or check Collection

[frank notch]

i have that on

[royal shale]

once you have achievements you can’t lose them but you should ask modding chats instead

[humble gulch]

Collection

[noble timber]

for a final boss

[frank notch]

but the stickers look alike, i want to isolate which ones ive specifically gold staked

[noble timber]

it is pretty fair

[shell dagger]

I’m still missing something, I’ll shove the video in my watchlater

[north ravine]

Guys is it possible to mod balatro in mobile?

[shell dagger]

Yea but it’s a pain in the butt

[frank grove]

also the paper in the description of his video explains it fairly well, to get to 3.14 it might take ~1 trillion coin flips

[quaint stag]

modding anything on mobile sucks

[strange compass]

1.2 mil is pretty difficult to reach with an ordinary build

[fierce flame]

sorry, my bad

[lunar zealot]

i mean

[royal shale]

ur all good

[north ravine]

Minecraft modding is pretty easy

[strange compass]

And like difficult in the sense that it can't really be overcome by being better

[lunar zealot]

i would think the ordinary build needs to score 1.2m to be considered ordinary

[noble timber]

mhm

[willow frost]

yeah

[willow frost]

how

[humble gulch]

Honestly, that's worth the joker

[echo sphinx]

worth indeed

[lunar zealot]

Yeowch

[frank grove]

very greedy of you but yeah

[humble gulch]

White stake is winnable with only additive mult and planets

[strange compass]

?

[echo sphinx]

white stake is winnable with anything tbh

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[royal shale]

white stake is winnable with only planets

[north ravine]

The most fun final boss is cerculean bell

[humble gulch]

Also

[frank grove]

are we finally getting abbr search?

[lunar zealot]

White stake is winnable if you dig in your butt and sniff glue

[pale wolf]

definitely not

[north ravine]

Stone + plasma deck.

[strange compass]

An ordinary build should score 3x the scoring requirements in gold stake?

[lunar zealot]

Yes

[shell dagger]

figured out my misunderstanding, I thought you meant you stop when one is higher than the other (which would happen after 1 throw every time) but you fix the side you want before starting

[lunar zealot]

if your build can't beat vv then it's not strong enough

[royal shale]

It should be able to once, at least

[lunar zealot]

always strive for more

[frank grove]

yeah you pick a side and then follow that one until its tally is larger than the other

[humble gulch]

Alright

[lunar zealot]

If you bank on not finding vv then you bank your run on a 1/5 chance to instantly bajungle

[strange compass]

Even if it beats every other boss

[lunar zealot]

Yes

[frank grove]

yeah its a 20% chance of seeing vv

[lunar zealot]

a build can beat heart bell leaf and acorn and lose to vessel

and if that happens then the build isn't strong enough

[humble gulch]

The perfect plan

[lunar zealot]

Never bank your run on a chance

[royal shale]

there’s really like 2 bosses you care about usually (VV and CH) so yeah build for all of them

[lunar zealot]

because you will get screwed over

[frank grove]

you want to build for the worst case scenario

[lunar zealot]

you really don't want to get bajungled

[strange compass]

What chance tho

[frank grove]

1/5

[royal shale]

A 1/5

[echo sphinx]

lets go winning

[frank grove]

which isnt that low of a chance

[quaint stag]

once had a crimson heart run where the crimson heart bounced between my hologram and trousers

[rough spire]

Pretty good haul from the first shop coupon tag. How can I avoid screwing this up like I always do? What jokers should I try for?

[echo sphinx]

rip

[humble gulch]

Didn't read the boss blind...

[echo sphinx]

holy what the fuck is that shop

[north ravine]

Nah your next run be bountiful and may the bosses tremble in fear at the sight of your jimbo

[echo sphinx]

two retriggers with ancient???

[quaint stag]

look for smeared and then any decent x mult

also planets

jupiter assuming you're playing flushes

[rough spire]

Yeah probably lean toward flushes with this. 😄

[echo sphinx]

avoid scoring jokers unless its on a played hand

go for planets. must.

[royal shale]

make sure to skip Big Blind if Ancient and the Suit-Debuff boss are on different suits

[lunar zealot]

on ANY chance

[quaint stag]

probably one of the only times you'd skip a blind tbh

[royal shale]

look for discards/handsize and Jupiter

[lunar zealot]

The motto is don't get bajungled

if you open a pack with the last of your remaining money hoping to find an immolate

brother save your money

don't bajungle yourself

[rough spire]

Never thought of this thanks! That might be all I need to win.

[royal shale]

Worth noting Smeared can kill you because of suit debuffs

[frank notch]

i BETTER win this run

[quaint stag]

also very true

[pale wolf]

yea aj is the only good joker that requires you to skip

[quaint stag]

you may have to sell smeared if it gets dicey

[humble gulch]

(Dies)

[pale wolf]

maybe sometimes obelisk if you're cutting it close

[frank notch]

ts is not my fault

[rough spire]

Yeah I’m still a noob but I thought this one might be good. 😄

[quaint stag]

whats this mod called? like where you can visually see your x and + mult

[frank grove]

joker display

[frank notch]

jokerdisplay

[humble gulch]

Let's fucking go

[quaint stag]

ah i see ty

[frank grove]

im shocked you havent stickered this goat yet

[pale wolf]

yea tis good synergy

[humble gulch]

Thank you, riff raff

[quaint stag]

im assuming its on like github or somewhere else

[echo sphinx]

the diamond and heart colors are too close in this switched color scheme

[royal shale]

Cavendish kinda

[frank grove]

https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay

[echo sphinx]

i dont like it

[frank notch]

its literally the same as the base game

[pale wolf]

I'm pretty sure that's straight up just what they are already in game

[frank notch]

i used the eyedrop tool

[humble gulch]

It just hurts to not get riff raff value keeping it 'till the end

[echo sphinx]

thats true but this is worse

[pale wolf]

I think these designs are offensively ugly but the colors arent the reason

[humble gulch]

Alright

[frank grove]

yeah i guess i just see so many eternal riff raffs 😭

[frank notch]

what is then

[frank grove]

gg

[lunar zealot]

looks gablongly

[humble gulch]

So, I did a thing

[frank grove]

the corners and full suit colored cards is so weird

[pale wolf]

Big empty white space in the corners, the shape of the colored area is odd, and this artifacting from the resolution has issues

[frank notch]

i tried to make it rounded

and the white space is so you can see enhancements better

[pale wolf]

You would need to up the resolution to make it look nice

[frank grove]

what do enhancements look like with it?

[frank notch]

wouldnt fit with the balatro resolution then

[pale wolf]

I mean it already doesn't fit

[humble gulch]

Honestly, I think it was worth

Alright

[frank grove]

wheres the goat gone?

[pale wolf]

I feel like making the average card look weird for the sake of the occasional enhancement to look better doesnt make sense

[humble gulch]

Ecto and hex...

[frank grove]

yeah i also feel like if you have the big white space you should move the ranks there so its not useless space

[frank notch]

it looks fine to me

[pale wolf]

I mean yeah that's why you're using it

I don't think it's a terrible idea but it needs some work to not look like bad Uno cards

[frank grove]

they're like opposite uno cards

[frank notch]

i already made compatibility for cryptid, bunco, paperback, ortalab, and aikoyori's shenanigans so i dont think i can change it

[pale wolf]

is it possible to just have the corners transparent so the card is a weird shape

I don't think that would be better but I'm just curious

[frank notch]

i think

[frank grove]

someone should make a balatro texture pack where the cards are just randomly bent 😭

[pale wolf]

heavily used balatro deck

[frank grove]

and get more bent as the run goes on 😭

[frank notch]

full deck if it helps

[royal shale]

comically bent stone cards

[humble gulch]

I COULDN'T GET RID OF THE FACE CARDS 💔

[frank grove]

honestly i think if you just flipped the suit colors and the white in the corners around it would work better

[willow frost]

balatro but your friend "shuffles" the deck after every round

[frank notch]

thats not the point of my texture pack though

[humble gulch]

I must be redeemed

[frank grove]

oh no..

[pale wolf]

any texture pack for balatro will need to do an extremely good job to really catch my eye, because the art is one of the strongest points of the game already

[frank grove]

Yeah i see a few people use that super dark texture one and its so ... there

[boreal haven]

😭🗿

[pale wolf]

The dark mode one really messes with me because the anti-aliasing still thinks that the card is white so there's just a weird fuzzy white edge on every single card

[frank grove]

yeah

[pale wolf]

like how do you not see that and get infuriated

[echo sphinx]

temperance value

[boreal haven]

-26$

[humble gulch]

YES

[frank notch]

retextures stm because it wouldnt fit with my cards otherwise

[echo sphinx]

is ok superposition is a tarot making joker

[frank grove]

likke ... 😭

[frank notch]

imo it does look not that good

[boreal haven]

like I'm ever gonna use it lmao

[humble gulch]

Thank you, I guess

[pale wolf]

why did they make it glossy

[frank grove]

who knows 😭

[strange compass]

STM if it was actually cool

[humble gulch]

What's that, I'm dying

[frank grove]

i dont mind how the planet cards look however these arent horrible

[frank notch]

this hurts my eyes worse than light mode

[frank grove]

its "balatro dark mode" texutre pack 😭

[strange compass]

That looks good no

[vestal copper]

hurts my eyes

[azure copper]

the jokers are fine

the cards are bad

[pale wolf]

thats chill, although i still think the planets themselves stand out way too much from their background

they're fullbright

[frank grove]

yeah, could've made earth look like it was at night

[quaint stag]

what is the 'fle playing

[pale wolf]

that would be 200% sick

[frank notch]

Mime

[pale wolf]

BRUH

[humble gulch]

Hi there

[frank grove]

😭

[strange compass]

I like that it makes the card hand at the bottom more visible

[frank grove]

the card hand at the bottom?

[willow frost]

ok im finally playing gold stake again with the intent of getting a good streak
i've just realised i dont know how to play the game lmao

[strange compass]

Ye at the bottom of the planet cards, there's their card hand

[frank grove]

i see what you mean

[strange compass]

In the base game it doesn't look very visible

I have to squint

[frank grove]

i think they look about the same

[willow frost]

yeah it took a while to notice they were there at all

[pale wolf]

for comparison

idk if its any more or less contrasting

[frank grove]

Yeah

[frank notch]

feel like it has LESS contrast with the playing cards

[frank grove]

the playing cards look so bad though its actually impressive cause why not just use the built in negative stuff for them?

[strange compass]

Also is that the solar system at the top of the card?

[pale wolf]

im sure there's other issues to solve with that

[pale wolf]

always has been

[strange compass]

From Mercury to the Dwarf Planet

[frank notch]

why not just make the cards balatro black and make the suits lighter

[frank grove]

like this already exists - you would have to fix the suit colors but like

[boreal haven]

talking about rng...

[pale wolf]

noteworthy is ceres highlighting the asteroid belt bc thats where it is

[humble gulch]

Why my glass doesn't break...

[cloud minnow]

Should we take this? Who should we replace?

[frank notch]

this one might be worse https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/393

[frank notch]

dont take lusty

[cloud minnow]

It looks like they're going to take it.

[strange compass]

Oh ye

[frank grove]

Why is the res of these so bad?

[echo sphinx]

so how do i go about winning this

[humble gulch]

Ugh, finally

[frank notch]

[frank grove]

THE enhancements

[echo sphinx]

ehhhh...

[frank grove]

50% brightness on luckys 😭

[humble gulch]

What is that lucky card...

[strange compass]

BTW, Did anyone think that the Strength tarot card was actually a Centaur?

[echo sphinx]

they cant even do burnt paper or smth like that

rip

[pale wolf]

discord embed fail i guess

[strange compass]

I only recently realised it's a man with a dog

[frank notch]

holy shit i just realized temperance has wings and those aren't just hills in the background

[boreal haven]

You guys don't know BUT I'M LITERALLY PRAYING RN HELP

HELP

[vestal copper]

huh?????

[royal shale]

Didn’t realize it until now

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling!

whod it disable

[frank grove]

woof... its so bad

[waxen quartz]

strength is probably hercules, so it'd be a lion? or cerberus

[pale wolf]

its a Lion

[boreal haven]

YES, YESS YEHEHESSSSS YEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!

[frank notch]

in balatro its an undescript quadripedal creature

[strange compass]

In the game it kinda looks like a Centaur right? And with its name being "Strength" I thought it fit

[echo sphinx]

send it home

[pale wolf]

ive never thought of strength as a centaur but it did take me a long time to figure out what judgement was a picture of

[strange compass]

Oh is it supposed to be a woman too?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[boreal haven]

golden needle challenge... COM-PLETE!

[pale wolf]

prove it

[weak relic]

Square joker on golden needle no way

[frank notch]

thats a lot of debt

[boreal haven]

I hate this fucking challenge

[thick snow]

fuck it!

[boreal haven]

X-ray vision was nothing compared to golden needle

[boreal haven]

double pairs and 4oaks 🫠

[serene forge]

welcome to the club

[strange compass]

OH WAIT I JUST SAW THAT JUDGEMENT IS A GUY PLAYING A INSTRUMENT

For some reason I thought it was a big cross

[cloud minnow]

So don't you?

[weak relic]

Errm I forgor which poker I used to beat that challenge

[strange compass]

Like a slightly tilted big cross

[boreal haven]

I am NOT
gonna go on endless mode, I need a fucking break

[pale wolf]

look up the original set of tarots that the games are based on

[weak relic]

Oh

[pale wolf]

they're pretty much 1:1 recreations

[weak relic]

It's 5oak

[strange compass]

This is the second game I've played that uses Tarots too lol

[weak relic]

Lol

[strange compass]

Can you guess the first one

[frank grove]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Arcana these are them right?

[pale wolf]

solitarot

[humble gulch]

Yeah...

[pale wolf]

yup

[thick snow]

thunk should make balatro balatroyale

[weak relic]

Game.

[strange compass]

Yes

[frank grove]

balatro battlepass when?

[vestal copper]

clash balatro 😭

[terse dock]

I love Fibonacci

[strange compass]

First was Who's Lila

[thick snow]

if tetris could be a battle royale then so could balatro

this is such a good idea i should ping local thunk, how has he never thought of this before!?

[terse dock]

Card Sharp at the bridge

[frank grove]

knowing the challenges the multiplayer mod has been having since it started... idk about this 😭

[boreal haven]

hello salsa from mother 3, I just completed golden needle

[naive jolt]

Do i take the eternal trading card knowing i have the discard voucher in the shop or do i just go with score and take misprint

[terse dock]

gg

[naive jolt]

Also i don't have any scoring joker in shop

[strange compass]

TC

[naive jolt]

Only 2 planets

[frank grove]

probably trading card?

[naive jolt]

I got mars and earth

[thick snow]

do you think the shop keeper is hot?

[pale wolf]

i just made that game name up

[strange compass]

Ye they are playing on Blue Deck so scoring isn't difficult

[frank grove]

yeah

[naive jolt]

And also the other pack is a card pack

[pale wolf]

balatro could be called Solitarot.... 🧠

[frank grove]

idkk what the boss is

[strange compass]

I thought that was some solitaire spinoff

[naive jolt]

I like TC just not the fact it's eternal

[terse dock]

fight me is a good card and im tired of pretending its not

[pale wolf]

what

[terse dock]

Wrong server

[frank grove]

😭

[terse dock]

The alzheimers is getting worse

[echo sphinx]

ok idk abt that one

[naive jolt]

Boss is spades so not a hard one

[frank grove]

yeah take trading

[naive jolt]

Actually i think that i'd prefer a balatro batte royale over current multiplayer mod

[terse dock]

I dont like multiplayer

[strange compass]

I would like that too

[frank grove]

where we dropping boys? photochad or pairslop ?

[royal shale]

truke

[humble gulch]

I like multiplayer 1v1

[echo sphinx]

what if its coop multiplayer

[naive jolt]

Actually yeah

I'd like coop

I'm not a fan of fighting too much

Especially not 1v1

[terse dock]

It isnt even good because of the strength though the strength accentuates what makes it good

[strange compass]

What jokers would be the best in battle royal Bala? Dagger?

[humble gulch]

Like a PVZ coop?

[terse dock]

It's the fact that it hits twice

[frank grove]

i love pvz coop its sick

[stray drift]

hello I have a question. I have been stuck on black deck gold stake for a couple of weeks now. I keep trying to pair spam then I moved up to 3 of a kind but the minus hand is fucking me up. ok Investment tag I have been going for. that and I like to have my 6th slot for either money or support like a tarot gen etc. what advice can people give me

[echo sphinx]

question
no question

[stray drift]

Sorry

[echo sphinx]

sorry whats the actual question

like how to win black deck consistentn?

[strange compass]

I am also doing black stakes, beat green stake today

[stray drift]

This is gold stake black deck

[strange compass]

So far I think in black deck you should use all 6 of your jokers to score

The scoring is difficult for me

I can get around the money

[willow frost]

good?

[frank grove]

i dont know much about black deck consistency like i generally dont know the rules on if ante 1 investment is worth it

cause you can die to big blind ante 1 if you skip small blind

[humble gulch]

Probably

[strange compass]

It is probably

[willow frost]

sure

[echo sphinx]

tbh losing on ante 1 isn't a huge timeloss

[strange compass]

Ante 1 small blind gives 2$ if you perfect

[frank grove]

Yeah true

[strange compass]

Also, I feel like black deck would be much easier without red stake

[humble gulch]

But you need two hands, a four of a kind or a strush to get past the big blind

I'd say is better if the investent tag is on the big blind

[stray drift]

It is more blue stake that fucks you up for black deck

[strange compass]

So far from what I've noticed is that you have to get jokers immediately in black deck to score

[frank grove]

yeah thats why i think small blind investment is probably really greedy on black deck

[naive jolt]

Found no good scoring so run died

[echo sphinx]

me when black deck

[naive jolt]

Never take free shop they sai
I find free shop to be fun

[cloud sinew]

me too

[strange compass]

Ye that as well but both of them in tandem make it so brutal

[pale wolf]

@ancient gyro thoughts on black deck gold stake, but minus red stake

[humble gulch]

I'm talking about black deck and how small blind investment tag it's not a good idea

[cloud sinew]

i would go from 5% to 12% winrate

[junior cave]

One less hand means you want to play larger hands to compensate but the discard loss hurts you there too

[echo sphinx]

is like 1 minute lost

[cloud sinew]

it's still a loss though

the principle is that it's a losing strategy

[frank grove]

Yeah its a loss still

like not a huge timeloss but like would i rather have a run that kept going or didnt i would pickk keep going

[pale wolf]

win rate still includes the quick losses

[ashen tangle]

Can u play multiplayer on the iPhone or it is only available in the PC?

[echo sphinx]

i wouldn't want to try to get a streak of black deck gold stake

[ancient gyro]

probably still harder than current plasma gs but not far off

[echo sphinx]

no thanks

[pale wolf]

black deck gold stake is easy

[humble gulch]

Only in PC

[pale wolf]

fair

[ancient gyro]

depends how I weigh the win rate and win streaks

because win streaks I'll still die a1

[humble gulch]

[ancient gyro]

win rate will prob be higher than current plasma imo in the sense that it doesn't have the issue of a limited joker pool

[cloud sinew]

shouldnt have opened the pack

[frank grove]

the greed did not pay off this time

[humble gulch]

Yeah

❤️‍🩹

[pale wolf]

softlocked /s

[strange compass]

Hey what if they got wraith

[ancient gyro]

more like empty house

[humble gulch]

But

[frank grove]

omg yay ante 1 round 1 baron!!

[pale wolf]

i open that r1 spectral every time on erratic tbh

[shell dagger]

rad card

i open that r1 spectral every time

[pale wolf]

you can scrounge some hands together with erratic well enough

[ancient gyro]

some erratic seeds can have a safe a1 jokerless playthrough

[frank grove]

yeah

[strange compass]

What rare from wraith would be good ante shop 1?

Wee and uh?

[humble gulch]

Yeah, I have eight 6's and eight 7's

[strange compass]

BP and BS ig

[pale wolf]

excuse you

[shell dagger]

burnt stuntman vaga

[humble gulch]

I DIDN'T REALIZE ❤️‍🩹

[pale wolf]

🦓

[frank grove]

Wee, stuntman, burnt, bp, bs, vaga

[strange compass]

EIGHT SIX EIGHT SEVEN

[frank grove]

obelisk as well

[humble gulch]

Stuntman is so good

Free win

[ancient gyro]

something similar to this in terms of contributing to a1 survival

[shell dagger]

oh yeah ancient

[frank grove]

i always forget about aj

[ancient gyro]

yeah

the sucker

[humble gulch]

Huh

Look at my pause menu

[strange compass]

Shop 1 driving licence

[naive jolt]

Rare skip

[humble gulch]

I CAN'T SKIP IF THE PACKS HAVE SO MANY GOOD THINGS

[echo sphinx]

baron being D is diabolical

but ye

[strange compass]

Everyone at F would not even activate

[ancient gyro]

it technically does something

r2

[echo sphinx]

oes it practically do anything when early hands are usually played 5-cards

[smoky panther]

For Ante 1 D seems fair unless you're on erratic and have like 10 kings or something

[echo sphinx]

id probably not think too highly of it

[humble gulch]

Uh

[ancient gyro]

a r1 os hand will os r2 with a king held in hand

[robust lance]

8 ball the goat

[ancient gyro]

on manacle, a 2 pair can follow up to reach 600

[frank grove]

8 goats!!!

[echo sphinx]

i seee

[ancient gyro]

I only see 1 🗣️

[echo sphinx]

i could see how it becomes d

[echo sphinx]

om

[strange compass]

The ones in F don't even activate so ye

[echo sphinx]

u could still get it if u sell off the tarots just sayin

(ehh)

[ancient gyro]

potential ball

[echo sphinx]

yeah f is indisputably bad

oh wait i can say no

[echo sphinx]

4oak can activate, liesss!!!

huh i didn even need to ping

[humble gulch]

+4 mult

[ancient gyro]

my temperance value 💔

[echo sphinx]

(still indisputably bad cuz 4oak already flames the score)

[strange compass]

I s_iff MrBeast a_s

[strange compass]

I actually do get 4 OAKs sometimes

[humble gulch]

What a shop

[willow frost]

OH MY GOD

[strange compass]

But 4 OAK would one shot without the joker anyway

[humble gulch]

Huh

[echo sphinx]

goated

[echo sphinx]

LOL

[willow frost]

BOBBELBICK

i dont have any chips im sure its fine

[echo sphinx]

im sure its finee

[humble gulch]

I'm not taking it cuz it's rental

[willow frost]

if you see me dead in three seconds dont forget to point and laugh lol

[echo sphinx]

so how do i actually go about starting a jokerless run

do i just hope for a good planet on first buy

[echo sphinx]

dont forget to like and subscribe and smash that like button

[strange compass]

Yes Saturn or Jupes I think

[willow frost]

indeed

[echo sphinx]

wait nowadays itll probably be

do the algorithm stuff

plot twist
what if i dont get a planet

interest gaming

[willow frost]

i found my chips

[frank grove]

early saturns are good, but enhancments and good cards to copy is what you kinda want to look out for more so than a 4oak level in first few shops

[strange compass]

You can beat A1 jokerless pretty consistently

Atleast the first 2 blinds

[frank grove]

Yeah i would maybe take death for later

[echo sphinx]

so... packets?

[frank grove]

but you'll see enough tarots

[echo sphinx]

ill probably just put it on rundiscussion

the channel with dead tumbleweeds

[frank grove]

😭

[echo sphinx]

ill still come back now and then

[pale wolf]

okay

its time

[robust lance]

Buy the vouch

[humble gulch]

You know, the past ten runs, seven out of ten had been violet vessel...

Ugh

[humble gulch]

Lusty

[ivory elbow]

best joker ever

[strange compass]

Will this help with flowerpot

[ivory elbow]

reacted by an enemy flush hater

[humble gulch]

X2 is not worth for playing flushes

[ivory elbow]

i js play flushes

also its 1.5x AND 2x

[strange compass]

Can someone answer this

[frank grove]

yes but you still have to play 4 cards iirc

[strange compass]

I might be the first person to win with flowerpot

[humble gulch]

If it's polychome I guess is fine, but once on blue stake or above it's a bad idea to play flushes

[robust lance]

I mean yeah you can play 2 heart and 2 spades (or whatever) and it’ll trigger

[robust lance]

Yawn yawn yawn

FLUSHMAXX

[trim bloom]

yes

[humble gulch]

(Dies)

[robust lance]

become a jupiterpilled flushmaxxer

[ivory elbow]

(revives)

FLUSHMAXXING

[frank grove]

flushmaxxers go to jupiter to become more stupider or whatever the saying is

[robust lance]

Pairmaxxers go straight to hell

[frank grove]

pairmaxxers see the win screen

[humble gulch]

😭

[quartz salmon]

Should I take sixth sense here? I can’t seem to find red seal anything or an ectoplasm

[robust lance]

No

[strange compass]

Thank

[ivory elbow]

flushes are so easy to deckfix for

[robust lance]

Ok that’s enough out of you

[woven spire]

im tweaking

[ivory elbow]

wdym

[strange compass]

Yes if you have 6s

[vivid stump]

i keep on pairslopping and die to the violet vessel

[quartz salmon]

I don’t but I could card pack for them

[strange compass]

Also what's in the consumable slot

[echo sphinx]

lol

[quartz salmon]

Pluto, I have observatory

[shell dagger]

I would just keep the planet stack

[strange compass]

Ye

[shell dagger]

it’s unlikely you find cryptid before the lack of planet stack kills you

[strange compass]

Not worth it at ante 18 I think

[quartz salmon]

Alr

[strange compass]

There's a very obvious choice here

[echo sphinx]

still hesitating to take the arcana pack

i could get empress

but i could also just not get empress

[robust lance]

Lucky cards trust me

[humble gulch]

I'd take the standard

And then arcana

[minor summit]

I guys hmm I have a cuestion

[robust lance]

No take the arcana first so you can get hermit

[echo sphinx]

[frank grove]

[echo sphinx]

[vivid stump]

[humble gulch]

That's why you don't play flushes

[echo sphinx]

[humble gulch]

Jokerless is actually easy

[minor summit]

Emperor

[robust lance]

[ivory elbow]

I TURNED THE KING FOR A 3 OAK AND IT REACHED 120K

HOLY

[echo sphinx]

[humble gulch]

Almost beat it on my first try and beat it the next run

[echo sphinx]

what the fucky helly did u say

[robust lance]

Teehee :3

[waxen quartz]

let's not go crazy. sure straights + glass/steel will work, but easy to get bottomdecked if there's not enough deckfix

[robust lance]

I wanted to spread misinfo

[frank grove]

yeah jokerless is mainly just straight/4oak

[humble gulch]

Jokerless is easy, what do you mean...

[willow frost]

alright we're back for real now

[echo sphinx]

god

[humble gulch]

I mean, a bad start could make you lose, but anyways

Once you're settled there's not a lot of ways of losing

[frank grove]

yeah

[echo sphinx]

yeah like The Water

[robust lance]

Just go all in on flush that’s how I did jokerless

[ivory elbow]

W ante 2

[echo sphinx]

nevermind hte run lives

[willow frost]

same

[humble gulch]

I think you meant to say flush five

[echo sphinx]

WOAHHHH

[willow frost]

well i think it was more the glass than the flush but yeah

[robust lance]

I didn’t know flush dice existed

[frank grove]

yeah straights/4oak/f5 are kinda the only real hands in jokerless

[humble gulch]

Son ❤️‍🩹

[robust lance]

It was before I did a single gold stake

I literally came back from 10 months of no balala and did all the challenges

[humble gulch]

I like flush five better ngl

[echo sphinx]

welp

[willow frost]

how do you even get to flush five thats crazy

[frank grove]

you have tarots in almost every shop

[robust lance]

I used to play it when gold stake was -1 handsize

[frank grove]

its like 100% more tarot access

[ivory elbow]

guys do i take lusty cuz i already deckfixed for hearts a lot

[willow frost]

its still mental to me

[humble gulch]

Pretty easy

[upbeat sierra]

Got this email this morning… for people wondering about switch 2 save transfer 😢

[echo sphinx]

yall out here flush FIVING and i cant take a run off the ground

[ancient gyro]

[thick snow]

[terse dock]

Remember for every flush 5 run there are 50 pair runs and 100 failed runs

[echo sphinx]

god that paint

[thick snow]

i lowkey dislike balatro cause its so random and i cant figure out how to consistently do good

[echo sphinx]

[humble gulch]

In jokerless

[ivory elbow]

what the hell are you doing in the dc server then

[thick snow]

shitposting

[robust lance]

Based

[terse dock]

Remember for every flush 5 run there are 1000 straight runs and 10000 failed runs

[tardy spade]

I just had a run with 20 aces, I could have turned it into flush 5 but I was too focused in on 3oak for me to pivot

[echo sphinx]

om

[tardy spade]

Money$$$

[frank grove]

if you're losing this many jokerless runs something is going seriously wrong

[thick snow]

i understand that as a concept

[terse dock]

Shut up its hyperbole
