[viral raft]

8k if you want to be Doc

[ancient gyro]

i think he's at 4k atm

[viral raft]

true

i remenber a player with around 8k

or maybe it was in another game idk

[vocal warren]

the game keeps offering me a way to pivot to triboulet, and i keep refusing

also got this

[nova elk]

good run so far

[livid scroll]

so you found baron, mime, dna, trib, sock, dusk, chad and even yorick within 6 antes

[vocal warren]

Yes.

Now a Mail in Rebait twice now

[livid scroll]

so you don't only get a perfect setup, it even makes you choose which one you would prefer

[vocal warren]

Oh and dont forget about the deva vu i got on a king, and turned it into a chariot
(didnt send the pics of that)

[vocal warren]

Multiple times

[livid scroll]

sunshine and rainbows ahh seed

[livid scroll]

cherry on top of a cake

[vocal warren]

Holy fuck

this is after 1 reroll

[nova elk]

when u try so hard but u don't succeed

[vocal warren]

how long has the banana survived?

[nova elk]

liiights will try, to fix u

[nova elk]

I picked it in the shop of the small blind

so one blind

[vocal warren]

oh okay
thats really funny

[nova elk]

yup

[runic basalt]

First victory, finally some progress.

[lunar wren]

So i already did C++ plus didn't cot the achievement, what can i do???

[median summit]

Wtf

[fiery nymph]

[vocal warren]

Holy.

[median summit]

What stake are you on?

oh gold

What ante are you on?

@vocal warren

[median summit]

SEED PLS

[vocal warren]

All jokers I have been offered, but skipped that could have been good:

-Chad
-Dusk (2x)
-Dna
-Vagabond
-Egg (30$ sold for Bean)

[vocal warren]

working on it

YOOOOO

[nova elk]

woah

copying bean would be the best imo

[slow iris]

who tf put balatro on the aur 😭

[nova elk]

if you're not in a problem of scoring

[median summit]

An exe's still required, what's the point!?

I'm a sadist, however

[vocal warren]

So my baron got debuffed on the boss and i still won using my level 21 high card and 10 steel cards worth of mult

Seed FMMA78LX

[median summit]

KokaKiwi, apparently

[vocal warren]

FMMA78LX

[median summit]

Why are the first ever shop packs $3 more expensive?

[wet jackal]

Had the ultra rare opportunity to pivot to a flush five build on a regular gold stake ante 8 run

Died to violet vessel

Should have stuck to pairslop

[alpine crescent]

good morning!

[alpine crescent]

are you on. some sort of challenge

[median summit]

No, this is fresh opened

[vocal warren]

are you on my seed??
cause i dont remember that

[median summit]

No, again, this is fresh opened

[alpine crescent]

must be a bug of some sort then ??

i dont know that never happened to me

[vocal warren]

send seed, idfk

[alpine crescent]

if you die ofc

or actually

[median summit]

It's lterally the fresh profile seed

[alpine crescent]

no yeah, if you die or win in this run send the seed, it might just be a bugged seed that does that

idrk honestly

[median summit]

IT IS THE TUTORIAL

[wintry ice]

do i sell trading card for faceless

[spark kernel]

I found 2 legendaries in one run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[paper apex]

yo check out the build

fire

[frail brook]

Yo

[alpine crescent]

huh

interesting

[frail brook]

Wait there's balatro for the switch????

[median summit]

And Switch 2ah

[alpine crescent]

.the turorial still IS a random seed though, it just replaces the first joker to be a jimbler

[frail brook]

Damn

[median summit]

Nope, it's TUTORIAL

[frail brook]

Anyways i've came here for assistance

I need help

[alpine crescent]

oh really

[frail brook]

Indeed

[alpine crescent]

well thank god i'm uncle grandpa!

hello

[frail brook]

Ya think i should get the purple sealed foil or the bonus red seal

[quaint stag]

purple seal gives decent value

[median summit]

Purple

[quaint stag]

pretty decent take

[alpine crescent]

do you want more tarots to make your deck better? get the purple
do you just want more score? get the red

but yeah i'd go purple actually

[fiery nymph]

take purple

[quaint stag]

nah he's got the faceless and crazy he'll be fine for score for the next ante

[frail brook]

I will play against the goad

[quaint stag]

its white stake

[frail brook]

Alright thanks yall 👍

[quaint stag]

nws

[frail brook]

Yeah i still have a LOOOOONG way to reach yall

But im learning :D

Yesterday i was able to reach the 7th Ante

[alpine crescent]

I beat gold stake on like. a SINGLE deck and i still consider myself pretty new man 💔

[quaint stag]

you can get away with not having your dominos in a line until about ante 5 for white stake

planets + a decent source of mult should get you through pretty easily

[alpine crescent]

be careful of the secrets the game doesnt tell you

it does that sometimes

[quaint stag]

i have 7 of my decks gold staked but as long as you can consistently win above blue stake then id say you're fairly experienced with balatro

[humble gulch]

Hi there

[quaint stag]

blue stake is probably the biggest difficulty spike anyways

rentals and perishables arent too bad

[humble gulch]

Purple

[quaint stag]

purple stake scaling is only atrocious on plasma

[alpine crescent]

i THINK the highest one I can consistently win in IS blue stake 😭

maybe purple

[quaint stag]

god i hate blue stake

[alpine crescent]

but like. maybe

if the final boss blind isnt violet vessel then i think i can win purple stake pretty well

[quaint stag]

trying to beat gold stake black deck and this is worse then being beaten with a bat

[alpine crescent]

i just directly gave up on doing black on orange stake, i am tryna do magic deck now

[quaint stag]

dont blame you lmao that -1 hand and -1 discard hurts so bad

[alpine crescent]

for the few experiences i had with gold stake i can say that rentals are either not that big of a deal or YOUR WORST ENEMY

[fast stirrup]

hey guys is this the correct copy for score?

[minor vessel]

Hi folks what is the mod that shows the point value of each held joker? The black boxes in this screenshot

[quaint stag]

as long as you pick up some form of decent xmult either scaling or static and decent planets and a mult joker you should be fine

[slow iris]

jokerdisplay

[alpine crescent]

i had a run with like 4 card sharps once

[frail brook]

I lost to the wheel ._.

[quaint stag]

i think? dont quote me on that i could be wrong

[quaint stag]

oof

is this your first win or what

[alpine crescent]

for a moment i thought you meant wheel of fortune-

[frail brook]

Nah i've beated the wheel before

[quaint stag]

no i mean your first run win

[frail brook]

Its actually easy to figure out what card is wich

Its like the face

[frail brook]

Oh yeah

[fast stirrup]

I see the streamer Roffle usually count out his copies by going “Okay, one two, three, four, five, etc”
But I never really understood how he does it

[frail brook]

Never won ._.

[quaint stag]

me either he never explains anything

[frail brook]

Yeah i never won once

[alpine crescent]

am i the only one that like. does NOT care about getting C++ here

I just wanna get C+ and then my life will be happy and i can frolic in a sunflower field forever

[frail brook]

Also quick question is this modded balatro or are those the jokers of the actual game?

[quaint stag]

what hands are you playing?

[frail brook]

The deck?

[fast stirrup]

It is indeed modded balatro but not I have 0 new jokers

[quaint stag]

modded but this is just qol stuff i believe

[frail brook]

Oh i see

[quaint stag]

had to skim through whats available on a first win

[alpine crescent]

oh yeah, some jokers have unlock requirements

i kinda almost forgot that

[frail brook]

The hands that i usually try to play the most is flush, straight and full house

[frail brook]

You a hologram glazer

[alpine crescent]

fair

[frail brook]

Ya can call me the splash glazer

[quaint stag]

there are a handful of pretty decent options

card sharp is great for x mult

[frail brook]

Card sharp x splash x smiley face

[quaint stag]

the general rule of thumb for your first win is that you want some form of +mult and some form of xmult

[alpine crescent]

+chips as well if you REALLY want

[quaint stag]

because of white stake having pretty low barriers you can get away with just stacking +mult

[alpine crescent]

but usually its not necessary

[frail brook]

ooooooooo

So mult more important then chips?

[quaint stag]

planets are your best option for +mult but jokers like spare pants/red card offer scaling mult

[alpine crescent]

kinda yeah

[quaint stag]

chips helps but + mult is more important

[slow iris]

you want to have both

[quaint stag]

you'll get chips from planets regardless so again look for planets

[alpine crescent]

you get chips from cards

[frail brook]

I seeeeeeee

Interesting

Aight thx

[quaint stag]

try to look for a decent econ joker as well

[slow iris]

won't be enough chips usually

[quaint stag]

the best econ joker imo is mail in rebate and that's great because that's a common so it shouldnt be too difficult to find

[alpine crescent]

voucher talk!
get them
when they sound useful

[frail brook]

Will it talk?

[quaint stag]

we can only hope they will

[frail brook]

Very well then

Thank you all for the help

Oh yeah btw

[alpine crescent]

i am uncle grandpa

[frail brook]

I got the 5 normal decks unlocked

What do y'all recommend?

Cuz im using green

Cuz cash

Transforms into stonks

[quaint stag]

blue/red/yellow

[alpine crescent]

the first 3 yeah

[frail brook]

Yellow it is then

[heavy heron]

can i dm you about something

[humble gulch]

No sticker

[humble gulch]

Hm?

[heavy heron]

do you know spanish

can you help me w my spanish hw

[humble gulch]

Bruh

[cinder thicket]

💔

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL MB

A BRO'S DESPERATE

[cinder thicket]

I completely respect the passion

[quaint stag]

yellow is great because the extra 10 dollars helps you build interest quickly

[humble gulch]

Fuck

[frail brook]

Oh yeah that's another thing

What does interest do? ._?

[quaint stag]

you earn interest at the end of each round you play

its additional money for having money

[minor vessel]

Another q ---

As I understand it some Jokers only appear if certain cards exist in your deck (i.e. Lucky Cat becomes available only if you have converted a card to a Magic card). Does the inverse hold true? Would Lucky Cat become unavailable if all Magic cards were removed from my deck?

[frail brook]

Oh so the more money i have the more interest i get

[quaint stag]

yeah

[alpine crescent]

you get $1 for every $5 you have at the end of round
the max you can get is $5 without any vouchers

[frail brook]

...this is sounding alot like a casino...

...wonder WHY.

[quaint stag]

i dont think lucky cat is taken out your shop rotation but you need at least one lucky card to see lucky cat

[alpine crescent]

this game got rated 18+ for promoting gambling for no reason once! :D

[quaint stag]

same for stone joker/glass joker

[frail brook]

Lmao

[quaint stag]

oh and steel and golden ticket

[frail brook]

All im here for is to listen to the electronic replica of chips and the amazing sound production they did for the cards

Because chips makes me think of money

And money makes stonks

And stonks makes money

[alpine crescent]

as thunk once said:

[humble gulch]

Do I sell hex?

[quaint stag]

yeah id say sell and rip

[frail brook]

Thats actually smart

Show whats true gambling

To prove wee weren't

[alpine crescent]

wee? like the j- oh wait that's spoilers

[humble gulch]

There was nothing...

Hi there

[twin saddle]

what is this deck

[frail brook]

Hehehe

Green leaf

Makes me feel funny

[serene forge]

the legendary ante 17 burned joker run

[twin saddle]

Green.

[frail brook]

Over here in brazil wee call clubs: paus

And it looks like a leaf

[alpine crescent]

deck of the moon from cryptid

[twin saddle]

i know

[frail brook]

So in other words

THE DECK OF 420

[alpine crescent]

i dont know it was kinda written there

[twin saddle]

deck de paus

[humble gulch]

#⚙・modding-general

[twin saddle]

yes.

[serene forge]

blackboard wet dream

[twin saddle]

all clubs

ITS ALL CLUBS

[naive jolt]

I am happy as a bloodstone enjoyer

[soft tangle]

is there any update on switch 1 saves ported to the switch 2 native version?

[alpine crescent]

do y'all also HATE painted deck

i HATE painted deck

[mental bloom]

yes

[median summit]

...I was just thinking I could use a fresh ice-cream, so sold the one I had & ripped a fat Judgement. Guess what I got from it

[slow iris]

i love painted deck

[alpine crescent]

it makes me ANGRY!!

[mental bloom]

Judgement mentioned

[alpine crescent]

BAD MORNING!!

[mental bloom]

what was it

ice cream again?

[alpine crescent]

ice cream but FOIL!

[mental bloom]

pro

[median summit]

Sadly, not foiled

[alpine crescent]

foiled again..

[mental bloom]

awh man

i love judgement

[alpine crescent]

i think thats the true

[mental bloom]

true what

[cloud sinew]

you love judgement

[median summit]

6 card straight lmao

[humble gulch]

Judgement is pretty good

It gives me brainstorms once in a while

[strong willow]

I can't work out how I didn't manage to hit naneinf, I'm almost certain I full copied burglar and used all of my hands, but for the final hand I didn't score enough for naneinf

[median summit]

There should be an achievement for scoring exactly this lmao

[shell dagger]

show vouchers

[humble gulch]

I WANNA DIE

💔 💔 💔 💔

IT TOOK SO LONG

FUCKING BEAN

[shell dagger]

how’ve you been?

[shell dagger]

you need grabber and nacho tong

that’s +4 hand size

it’s fine you’re got enough money to roll serpent till ante 31

[humble gulch]

I'm going to cry

[frank grove]

whats next?

[humble gulch]

Black

[frank grove]

ooooh nice

[mental bloom]

good luck damn

[frank grove]

black++ is something im waiting to do once blue stake isnt as horrible 😭

[devout roost]

black++ free

if you think otherwise then

you stink

[grizzled orchid]

thanks ❤️‍🩹

[devout roost]

no prob

[quaint stag]

gg

[humble gulch]

How did Varv manage to get Chicot faster?

All I had left was a fucking bean (and order)

[strong willow]

Omfg of course, I didn't even think about those. Thank you

[strong willow]

Bean was my last one too. It appeared right before the end of the run in the shop so I was able to carry it to a gold sticker

[dreamy creek]

guh

would yall consider red card and yorick bottom 10 jokers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itQ0j5ysIzY&pp=ygUHYmFsYXRybw%3D%3D
this guy does

[pale wolf]

Don't pay attention to this slop content creator

its balatroze

[humble gulch]

He just wants views

[dreamy creek]

who is roze bro?

[frank grove]

this has to be ragebait theres no way

[dreamy creek]

he has 1000 hours

it must be real

[serene forge]

nah

[pale wolf]

it is

theres no value in the videos

[serene forge]

*ancient

[frank grove]

dont ever read youtube comments my god they're so ... horrible 😭

[humble gulch]

I don't mind painted, it's just that I don't like straights

[pale wolf]

wow the truth is out

[dreamy creek]

woah woah woah, you mispelt bloodstone

[humble gulch]

Shut up

[dreamy creek]

[swift iron]

[dreamy creek]

to be fair on gold stake when only relying on intrest he has a point

you broke and cant get that many consumables

[serene forge]

homeless guy calls homeless guy a broke ass

[dreamy creek]

😭

nuh uh

[pale wolf]

you don't need to use campfire to get as high as possible every time

you only need to win the rounds lol

[frank grove]

this was the bottom 10 from that vid btw .....

[humble gulch]

It scales .75 per round with only interest

[dreamy creek]

I did C+ in 280 hours on 1x speed so i'm very qualified to talk

[pale wolf]

its a dumb point

[serene forge]

LMAO

[frank grove]

dagger? runner??? red card??? LMAO

[dreamy creek]

dam dagger sucks

fr

[serene forge]

oh so not even yorick

[frank grove]

and vampire???

[naive jolt]

ancient is ass cause wild cards are bad
with bloodstone i'm happy because i can go lucky and get chungus cat

[pale wolf]

stupid

[serene forge]

dude is a fucking pussy lmaooo

[dreamy creek]

yorick was honerable mention

[humble gulch]

8 ball is so good

[frank grove]

yorick was tied 11th with matador 😭

[pale wolf]

I'm gonna throw up

[serene forge]

you don't need wilds with ancient

[naive jolt]

bloodstone combo with dice which combo with lucky and with cat and with many stuff

[dreamy creek]

you see 1/4 actually means 1/4 users have it functioning properlly and 3/4 users never have 8 ball work

it's actually a lie

1/4 never works

[serene forge]

oh i see

[pale wolf]

bloodstone requires dice to be safe

[naive jolt]

you do or you need to have a deck with varied stuff

[meager bridge]

First time getting chicot gng

[pale wolf]

aj is safe by default

[naive jolt]

ok but dice is great bloodstone or not

[serene forge]

so, the starting deck

[dreamy creek]

blood stone doesnot only require dice to be safe

[serene forge]

you mean

[naive jolt]

only early

[pale wolf]

remember that the goal is beating ante 8

[naive jolt]

which is bad cause once i deck fix, well i don't get even distribution anymore

[naive jolt]

not for me

my goal is always ante 12

[pale wolf]

there isnt any other goal

[dreamy creek]

since you can make your deck a certain suite really fast (3 changed at a time) it's not unreasonable to play two heart flushes

[frank grove]

what

[humble gulch]

Deck fix towards ancient then

[pale wolf]

bruh aj is still better for that

[naive jolt]

ok but why would i do that when i can deck fix for bloodstone and lucky

[dreamy creek]

aj deck fixing requires lovers which is 1 at a time
bloodstone deck fixing requires suit changer which is 3 at a time

[pale wolf]

lucky cat is nothing compared to retriggers and copy jokers

[humble gulch]

Because AJ always hits

[naive jolt]

it's fun

[serene forge]

because bloodstone is just ancient joker if it used 2 joker slots

lmfao

[pale wolf]

and you can deckfix down to 20ncards

[frank grove]

but also you dont need wilds for aj to be good

[pale wolf]

you dont need wilds

[serene forge]

it's literally worse

like objectively

[naive jolt]

ancient joker is annoying
it's easy early game that's it

[dreamy creek]

bloodstone is uncommon, aj is rare joker

of course rare≥uncommon

[serene forge]

bloodstone is not a hill you want to die on

it's gonna betray you

[dreamy creek]

bloodstone for an uncommon is worth

[naive jolt]

it won't

[dreamy creek]

over hated

[naive jolt]

bloodstone is good

and yall are just haters

[pale wolf]

"early game" being... the entire portion that everything in the game was designed around.. but yea sure

[naive jolt]

you don't appreciate it for what it's worth

[naive jolt]

no early game is like 4~6 antes

after that you enter mid point

[pale wolf]

thats most of the game

[frank grove]

also ancient joker is better later game than bloodstone? bloodstone requires another uncommon joker to do anything

[naive jolt]

where you have better deck fixed stuff

[serene forge]

literally 3/4 of the game but ok

[dreamy creek]

the thing is aj requires a lot more deck fixing

[pale wolf]

yea aj is still more consistent than bloodstone for ante 12 I'd imagine

[serene forge]

it literally does not

that's the entire point

[frank grove]

what

[naive jolt]

except that this other joker synergize for other stuff
and aj lock you in not being able to have a single suit

[dreamy creek]

ok but consider you don't need to go past ante 8

[naive jolt]

like bloodstone is AJ but better

[frank grove]

why does that matter?

[dreamy creek]

wild cards will change one suit at a time while suit changers change 3 at a time

[serene forge]

yes you don't, now tell that to julien because they're fixated on that for some reason

[pale wolf]

i mean yea but even in this new context aj is better

[naive jolt]

because when using death and stuff it's easier to just have one suit

[humble gulch]

Me when novices start discussing about the game with experienced players

[serene forge]

wild cards suck

[frank grove]

wild cards are not what makes aj good

[pale wolf]

you can have a couple

[dreamy creek]

then if you version of deck fixing for AJ is just having 20 cards (5 for each suit) then ok

[serene forge]

wild cards after a certain point literally just hurt you

[dreamy creek]

thats a lot more tarrots than bloodstone fixing

[frank grove]

yeah

but its not

[serene forge]

it's so comically funny how shitty wilds are

[dreamy creek]

hey wild cards are at least good for AJ

[bronze pollen]

The attention to detail

[dreamy creek]

idk what else they do

[pale wolf]

"later" game would mean you need all 5 cards triggers to win the rounds so you'd need directors cut for suit bosses

[humble gulch]

More tarots >>> joker slot

[dreamy creek]

so have you ever just played 2 heart flushes

instead of 2 joker slots

[pale wolf]

2x is nothing

[frank grove]

yeah later game (past ante 8 stuff which is fake anyway) you want to get more copy jokers, oops takes up a slot you want to use

[serene forge]

you'd need 7 heart flushes to win at this rate

[naive jolt]

except that oops also boost other jokers

[frank grove]

none that are good past ante 10

[humble gulch]

(Two)

[pale wolf]

you said lucky cat 😭 lmfao

[frank grove]

you cant say your goal is ante 12 and also say oops is good for that 😭

[serene forge]

if you're using lucky cat in endless then i think we have bigger, fundamental problems to address

[humble gulch]

(Which are also uncommons)

[pale wolf]

my 20x lucky cat vs my 1500x aj copy

[naive jolt]

i have lucky cat, spaceman, lucky cards

[serene forge]

no you see i need oops to boost my business card odds (what the fuck is a rebate or golden ticket)

[humble gulch]

Yes, spaceman will give me another E with those levels

[naive jolt]

spamming copy is boring
lucky cat is fun

[pale wolf]

I don't even play endless but if you like, watch good endless gameplay you'd have to find better examples of this right

[serene forge]

so you want to play endless but you don't want to use anything actually good for endless

how does that make sense

[frank grove]

😭

[naive jolt]

the goal is not endless

it's ante 12

[serene forge]

(endless)

[frank grove]

which is ... endless

what

[naive jolt]

for endless obv you go blue print brainstorm and the whole xmult spam yeah baron mime and idol copy when you're not yet ready for baron mime

[serene forge]

julien i want you to count to 8 for me

[pale wolf]

ante 12 isnt even a showdown boss blind

[serene forge]

then I want you to count to 12

[naive jolt]

ante 12 is limit

[pale wolf]

why not 16

lol

[naive jolt]

endless mean you try naneinf in my book

endless = no end

ante 12 is a limit

[pale wolf]

how, it keeps being normal bosses

[serene forge]

39

[frank grove]

naneinf runs ends at ante 32 usually

[humble gulch]

A limit that is inside endless mode...

[serene forge]

39 is the limit

[visual niche]

almost done with C++ 🔥

[pale wolf]

gosh i just realized how much game that really is

[naive jolt]

because 12 is reasonable, you don't need to do kinda OP strats, you can be goofy and do it

[pale wolf]

i mean, if you want i guess...

[frank grove]

also if you're going to ante 12 and complaining about aj having too much deck fixing idk what you're doing

[pale wolf]

i know what they aren't doing

[frank notch]

you cannot be goofy and score 10 million

[serene forge]

they have 36 dollars to their name

[naive jolt]

you can goofy and score 10 million

[errant brook]

Me: Oh let's take the Judgment before buying Photograph

[pale wolf]

thunk should add showdown bosses at ante 12

[errant brook]

Judgment card on the left

[serene forge]

blue stake rework adds showdowns every 4 antes

[pale wolf]

that
is sick???

[frank grove]

unironically probably good

[pale wolf]

🦓

[frank notch]

youre running chips i assume

[serene forge]

54k violet vessel though

[pale wolf]

with more showdown bosses hopefully ofc

[errant brook]

Plasma deck going for gold naneinf

I can pivot from chips now...I hope

[frank notch]

my idea for blue stake

Big Blind is 2x base size

could be buffed to also make small blind 1.5x

[royal bobcat]

what is

[pale wolf]

the reply

[frank notch]

blue stake rework adds showdowns every 4 antes

[royal bobcat]

showdowns like A8 bosses?

[pale wolf]

oh yea

[royal bobcat]

VV A4 kills ur run

[pale wolf]

naah

[serene forge]

🐌

[pale wolf]

it would be a blessin

[royal bobcat]

the wall A4 is already brutal dawg

[pale wolf]

lock in

[serene forge]

rental square joker

[pale wolf]

you'll have 1 extra discard

[royal bobcat]

uh

i think im losing this exchange

[pale wolf]

bc blue stake would no.longer be -1 discard

[terse vale]

wait really

[pale wolf]

no

[errant brook]

Mechanics question, if I re-roll a boss, does that boss get marked off as completed or does it get shuffled back in?

[terse vale]

[frank notch]

while 1 extra discard is important it isnt very likely it would save your run

[pale wolf]

it shows every single boss once, and then again in a different order

[frank notch]

its shuffled back in, endless wouldnt be posible without

what zebra said

[royal bobcat]

balatro will have its own skulking colony yeah!!

[humble gulch]

I'll just do normal runs before going after black++

[errant brook]

Endless repeats bosses I know. But I'm saying if I re-roll it, does it go to the back of the queue or in theory if I re-roll The Plant at ante 9 can it still be The Plant at ante 10?

[royal bobcat]

showdown bosses A4 is cool in concept but doesnt work

[frank notch]

idk

[royal bobcat]

not like this anyway

[pale wolf]

its what i said

[humble gulch]

Yeah

I think

[frank grove]

why would it not work?

[royal bobcat]

VV A4 just wipes most builds

[serene forge]

nah i just took the idea off the top of my head

[pale wolf]

it shows every single boss once, and then repeats that in a different order
It's random ly shuffled for each set but it only shows each blind* once per loop

[royal bobcat]

i'd be fine with having 2 A8 bosses, but a showdown boss in A4? nah

[pale wolf]

It would be sick

[serene forge]

ascension 20 in balatro

[pale wolf]

I want a mod of it

[royal bobcat]

also that would be the hardest modifier by far

[pale wolf]

maybe just as its own stake toggle, Silver stake :)

[royal bobcat]

so that would be gold stake not blue stake

[pale wolf]

i dont think so

[humble gulch]

I'd love more finisher boss blinds

[serene forge]

I'd say at the moment that's just purple stake

I don't think rentals are that bad

[frank grove]

54k vv on purple+ in ante 4 would be tough but not impossible

[royal bobcat]

the hardest modifier currently is a toss up between blue and purple

[brave goblet]

Tarot tycoon moment

[serene forge]

they make early game harder but after that they're usually not super relevant

blue stake is just annoying

[royal bobcat]

it shouldn't be

[serene forge]

purple actually makes things considerably more challenging

[rustic swallow]

wait which one

[pale wolf]

it is true that ante 4 big boss would limit builds to the same degree as current blue stake though

[mental bloom]

yes

[pale wolf]

just in a different way

[mental bloom]

yeah

[glossy forge]

Holy Swashbonkler. This run was fun

[humble gulch]

Hii

[royal bobcat]

no blue stake is not "annoying" no, it makes 80% of builds not work consistently (and im being generous)

[rustic swallow]

i got a neg burnt joker from it

[royal bobcat]

"annoying" is gold stake

[mental bloom]

hi...

[royal bobcat]

debatably orange stake

[frank grove]

i find rentals better than perishables by farrr

[serene forge]

why are you reading my messages if you have me blocked

[mental bloom]

holy peak

common judgement W

[rustic swallow]

bloodstone is goated

[royal bobcat]

blue stake just wipes most variety in the game

[humble gulch]

:33

[glossy forge]

My problem with Blue Stake is that it punishes hands with a high amount of cards

[mental bloom]

mmmmh...

[cloud sinew]

hello balatro

[frank grove]

hello

[serene forge]

yeah

[keen night]

Question here how should i layout my jokers?

[humble gulch]

Hi, Lilo

[serene forge]

sell bloodstone

[frank notch]

blue stake doesnt even hurt like 40% of builds, it can be easy if you have joker scoring

[cloud sinew]

i don't agree

[glossy forge]

Its very rare that i get to build around 4oak or something

[cloud sinew]

blue stake hurts almost all builds

[glossy forge]

Unless i get a blessed run with tarot gen

[frank grove]

blue stake does hurt quite a lot of builds early, which is the problem cause why build into something where you can die instantly on a bad draw

[humble gulch]

-# :3

[royal bobcat]

definitely thats why i find rentals "annoying". because they're not really that big of a hindrance if you play correctly

[mental bloom]

argh !!

[glad viper]

bolbler hasn't been here in a bit

[remote crater]

yooo i gotta question, since the flint is a boss blind that is triggered every hand would matador give me 8 dollars every hand i play during that boss blind or does it not work like that

[serene forge]

matador works

[frank notch]

it does hurt i mean, but less considerably than card dependent builds

[glossy forge]

Also, pairs are rewarded substantially with in-hand value generators like blue seals and gold

[royal bobcat]

blue stake hurts everything that isn't pairs, high card and MAYBE 3oak

[humble gulch]

Yess, I know

[cloud sinew]

flint does trigger matador every hand, yes

[royal bobcat]

on top of making like 4 jokers garbage

[mental bloom]

know what??

[remote crater]

so free money then, bet

[serene forge]

pair being op kinda feels like an oversight in a way

[glad viper]

hey, i think you MIGHT like judgment

[cloud sinew]

blue stake still hurts those, just not for drawability really

[glossy forge]

Omg matador goated 🥺 (except when he isnt)

[mental bloom]

Judgement is so peak

[serene forge]

they just dodge everything that hurts other hands while being significantly stronger than hc

[frank grove]

yeah

[mental bloom]

I love gambling my jokers

[royal bobcat]

blue stake hurts everything but it hurts everything SUBSTANTIALLY and is just "oh well i might not be finding my third purple seal" when playing pairs or HC

[glossy forge]

Gambling in my poker game??

[royal bobcat]

which wouldn't be an issue if pairs weren't already the best hands without that blue stake modifier

[frank notch]

while a high card is guaranteed, pairs have only a 1 in 9 chance to not be drawn and have more potential to fake discards with extra cards in played hand

[royal bobcat]

if pairs were the worst hand and blue stake made the game more even it wuold be a good stake

right now it just makes the gap even more absurd

[frank notch]

because if you dont have an ace or discards face cards with rtb cannot be rid of

[royal bobcat]

but im preaching to my own choir right now

[frank notch]

but with pairs this issue is avoided

[royal bobcat]

so im gonna go to sleep

[mental bloom]

hell yeah

[humble gulch]

The only gamble I take is judgement

[mental bloom]

Good

[glossy forge]

How about Wraiths

And then i get like

The order

[royal bobcat]

i'll always remember yesterday when that incantation destroyed my blue seal steel spade king with a 12 handsize (i had bean)

truly balatro moment

[frank notch]

blue stake rework idea #2: the small and big blinds in ante 8 are both boss blinds

[humble gulch]

Only if I don't have any money

[royal bobcat]

i love spectrals :)

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[mental bloom]

peak too

depends how rich you are tho

[royal bobcat]

thats crazy

[frank notch]

i hate wraith, too much The Orders

[frank notch]

thought of only the big blind, thats probably more balanced

[serene forge]

and the boss blind is a small blind

[pale wolf]

ok wacky game time

[mental bloom]

pro

[royal bobcat]

considering A8 boss blinds kind of own specific builds you'd have like 60% chance of finding the boss that straight up wipes you

[humble gulch]

Get another three madness

[pale wolf]

wasnt me

[serene forge]

I hate Bootstraps

[glossy forge]

Boots is cool tho

[ancient gyro]

most pair enabling jokers ignore the orange stake modifier. very few jokers reward you from overscoring. there are far more 5 card poker hand bosses than pairs :/

[serene forge]

how do i unlock the awesome t4t couple joker

[frank notch]

money is the most valuable resource when spent

bootstraps also has slow ass scaling

[royal bobcat]

Yeah that's my issue with blue stake

It makes the hand type that was already the best even better

[humble gulch]

I like boots

[visual niche]

i was so scared of dying to VV
Then Cavendish almighty came down to save me

[pale wolf]

🦓 🦓 🦓

[visual niche]

🙏

[pale wolf]

this is what i wanted in a run

[ancient gyro]

really

[mental bloom]

bull when plasma deck : 😫

[pale wolf]

this is peak balatro

[royal bobcat]

When the riff raff decides to make you win

[pale wolf]

oh no im almost certainly losing this run

[frank grove]

😭

[pale wolf]

but this is peak balatro

[royal bobcat]

Anyway I said I was gonna eep

And that's what I'll do

Gn chat

[ancient gyro]

so much for no smoking

[royal bobcat]

New streak pb tho!

Tomorrow am I hitting 6? Nobody knows

(prolly not)

[humble gulch]

I hit 5 by accident

So, probably yes

[royal bobcat]

What

I don't see how you hitting 5 gs ws accidentally would make me getting to 6 more likely

But go off king

[frank grove]

Yeah I think my highest I did on my abandoned++ profile by accident 😭

I want to do a zodiac streak at some point

[humble gulch]

Yeah...

[royal bobcat]

I got to 4 the first time randomly too

[frank grove]

Was the e run with trib?

[frank notch]

ive done 6 win streak

[frank grove]

Ok that’s a nice run 🔥

[versed sable]

average c++ players with pair as their main hand
smh

[humble gulch]

Yes

[frank grove]

I think my main steam profile has like 17k pairs or something

[ancient gyro]

im safe 👅

[humble gulch]

This is kind of my endless profile

[worldly barn]

Lock in on the challenges

Twinium

[versed sable]

high card :3

[worldly barn]

Yeah but imagine if you had 2

[humble gulch]

No.

[worldly barn]

In 1.1 you'll need all 3 for c+++

Easy content padding

[humble gulch]

Uhm, but I already have all

[worldly barn]

Should I do cruelty or golden needle

Which is harder you think

[humble gulch]

Golden needle is harder

[worldly barn]

I'll try it out

[frank grove]

Golden needle is a challenge that exists it’s so tedious

[humble gulch]

Cruelty is just skill

I already do runs with three jokers on gold stake

[ancient gyro]

cruelty is gs if you artificially remove half of its modifiers

[frank grove]

Yeah

[worldly barn]

😭

Is this my sign to learn the one shots

[pale wolf]

whaaat

I'm not on a streak anyways

[humble gulch]

Well, this was Ghost++

[humble gulch]

Yes

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[frank grove]

Yeah probably

[ancient gyro]

did you lose it again

[pale wolf]

was never on one 🚬

[serene forge]

queen straight is needed to win with a straight

[worldly barn]

It was a J-8 straight and 4 of them were diamonds and the only other diamond I had was a 3 which is like the exact same score 😢

[serene forge]

flush chips need to add up to 40

[pale wolf]

:o

im hitting the road jack

[serene forge]

i love hrt

[frank grove]

Yeah, 40 for flush, 35 for full house, queen high straight

[serene forge]

i wan hrt

[worldly barn]

I hate that you can't restart the challenge without going through the challenge menu again on mobile

[humble gulch]

I love https

[red sparrow]

Why do people think ts is this

It means this shit

[terse imp]

i could not care less

but like genuinely e121 is terrible

[terse imp]

uninstall that cursed calculator mod rn

[serene forge]

baron mime is betteer

[quick solar]

[terse imp]

bloodstone is also better

[frank grove]

what

[pale wolf]

dang

[noble shuttle]

SHOOT THE MOON IS COMMON?

[terse imp]

i think the game is calling out to me

[noble shuttle]

I THOUGHT IT WAS UNCOMMON

[frank grove]

LMAO

[terse imp]

lemme guess i could not be as wrong in my entire life

[red sparrow]

I think you want to rage bait people

[quick solar]

why tf is obelisk so low

[serene forge]

sell trib bloodstone is better

[red sparrow]

Agree with most but I think you want to rage bait

[robust lance]

the only correct one ehre is wheel (and death and hanged man)

what they SHOULD be is fortune teller value

[pale wolf]

ooofffff

[humble gulch]

This is the most white stake thing I've ever seen

[frank grove]

wow

[serene forge]

thanks for the speechbubble though

[cursive crater]

why are there consumables😭

[terse imp]

do i need to pivot to baron mime like now

[humble gulch]

I'll definitely use that one

[red sparrow]

It’s not even all of them 😭

[terse imp]

those are the only ones that matter imo

[serene forge]

how do you intend to pivot with 37 dollar

[terse imp]

i dunno

[red sparrow]

OUJIA

[terse imp]

also i only have 5 hand size

[cursive crater]

i mean hes been on nine circles for 130 hours now

[red sparrow]

MY POOKIE OUIJIA

[serene forge]

I hate Ouija

[cursive crater]

if that aint a sign idk what is

[quick solar]

guys has anyone gone for the bull naneinf using infinite money

[red sparrow]

I once double ouijad and got six both times

[terse imp]

do u still hate bloodstone

[unreal topaz]

i dont think $37 is enough to pivot

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[humble gulch]

No, but you only need like 179,000 bulls

[cursive crater]

only to never find sixth sense

[cursive crater]

is this your schtick

[frank grove]

The 37 dollar pivot I believe !!!

[unreal topaz]

people have gotten infinite money with tarot looping

[humble gulch]

And probably like e100 money

[unreal topaz]

but getting e308 money is uh

[dark lava]

w𒀱at is schtick

[unreal topaz]

something

[red sparrow]

Yep I died immediately after cause I also had stuntman and merry Andy

[terse imp]

uhh tf do i do

[cursive crater]

what

[quick solar]

you dont need e308

[dark lava]

wdym

[quick solar]

only e154 with plasma

[cursive crater]

why are you getting corrupted

[unreal topaz]

u right, but still

[terse imp]

do i take glass joker so my glass kings never break or will i lose all my scoring and die

[red sparrow]

Ouija

[unreal topaz]

e154 money

[vocal rose]

huh

[unreal topaz]

is ridiculous

[dark lava]

‍

[vocal rose]

plasma money?

[unreal topaz]

even with tarot looping

[unreal topaz]

that takes a ridiculous amount of time

[humble gulch]

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a 1 followed by 154 zeros"

[frank grove]

😭

[humble gulch]

All eternity to be exact

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[cursive crater]

also, a schtick means the signature move/line of something or the only thing they do

[quick solar]

yeah jut take a dollar and double it 512 times

[cursive crater]

like clowns making jokes

thats their whole schtick

[unreal topaz]

the infinite money exploit i know of gives $100 at a time

[dark lava]

oh an

[modest spade]

An IQ too high? 🐦‍⬛

[dark lava]

‍‍

[pale wolf]

I could hang with purple man i guess

[unreal topaz]

so you need to use temperance e152 or so times

[cursive crater]

this text message is above my plane of existence

[humble gulch]

I feel overwhelmed seeing this image

[cursive crater]

whats the balatro version of overstimulation

[humble gulch]

Perkeo observatory

[pale wolf]

it's beautiful

baw gawd

wait

I DIDNT USE THE JUDGEMENT FIRST NOOOO

[cursive crater]

😳

[quick solar]

also i dont think that would even work cause at like e^17 the ulp becomes 64 which is higher than the 50 that temperance can produce

[cursive crater]

would it matter

madness wouldve rocked the living thing out of that zany joker

[pale wolf]

+1 on purple joker

aka fortune teller

[cursive crater]

now you have +1 dollar

[pale wolf]

I would have had that from the Joker anyways

[ancient gyro]

using judgment gives better sell value

[pale wolf]

lol

[cursive crater]

now you have block valje

value

[pale wolf]

no I just sold it anyways

[cursive crater]

alr

[pale wolf]

for purple seal space

htr sucks

[fiery nymph]

Do we know if the writing on Obelisk means anything?

[ancient gyro]

[fiery nymph]

hallucination is now my most used card

[sonic nexus]

I need help on beating Rich Get Richer

[pale wolf]

I'm overscoring a little bit

[versed sable]

pokemon irl
:D

[fiery nymph]

hey where is hallucination

[ancient gyro]

looking back I prob should've changed my nitro bounty rulesets to "win with flush as your most played hand'

[humble gulch]

Yeah, me too

[versed sable]

hallucinations aren't real

[ancient gyro]

u made that up

[pale wolf]

I got observatory value on the last reroll

[rustic swallow]

do i take this

[viral raft]

is theres a way to play consistenly Balatro without just playing Pair? i like pair but theres a point that i'm just get bored playing around it

i see that sometimes Doc plays 4oak as a second option, is that a good idea or is just "fun"?

[desert pebble]

anyone have the "where is poor" meme but with the camera and prt scr version on hand i need it rn

[ancient gyro]

you can juggle between hc/2p

[viral raft]

HC :/
also 2P is nice but is basically pair but you get pants

and less held hands

like theres another thing to play around besides pair?

[ancient gyro]

it's harder to micro with

not really

[viral raft]

Doc play 4oak sometimes for what i saw

as a second option

[ancient gyro]

that's given if you have ample resources

[viral raft]

is that viable or is just for the funs

[pale wolf]

we ball

[ancient gyro]

it's ok

[viral raft]

that's funny

[terse imp]

welp it was a good run

[viral raft]

now pray for a mult in your next 2 rounds

[viral raft]

GG WP!

[terse imp]

ok maybe im not cut out for balatrodle

[dark lava]

π

[fiery nymph]

:(

[random terrace]

Balatro made things irl?

[weary depot]

Been a wonderful run

i have to start playing black deck now

[humble gulch]

Can a man not have his dogs out in his own home?

[hollow atlas]

CHAT ITS HERE

[tawny python]

||absolutely crazy they all matched while not being the real answer||

[atomic rapids]

[humble gulch]

@fiery nymph Yeah... I have a portable hone

[wintry ice]

do i use ouija

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[fiery nymph]

yeahhh

[wintry ice]

i think two pair is still higher priority though

i could pivot to 4oak with my blue seal ig

[novel rain]

👀

[wintry ice]

hm

[ancient gyro]

😐

[wintry ice]

it's good enough

4oak is 4oak

[novel rain]

Should I get rid of Ancient or Duo here? I feel like playing flushes is just gonna get me killed eventually, but it could give me a lot more Xmult

[wintry ice]

at what point does discarding for 6th sense stop being worth it

[ancient gyro]

two 6s

[novel rain]

Oh wait nevermind I have the space to get both Jokers

Because Credit Card is negative

[serene forge]

why

photo sucks

[wintry ice]

it works well with aj

[serene forge]

then why parei

[wintry ice]

actually they're below interest

it's better to not take

ight so i know what i'm doing next round

[wooden sluice]

credit in buffoon pack 🧠

[wintry ice]

well more like now because i need it for scoring

[frank nymph]

6

[serene forge]

did you lose in the last run

[sullen needle]

just finished jokerless!!!!!!! it took so many tries omg

[humble gulch]

Stupid emperor gave me sun

[serene forge]

gave the second worst tarot smh my head

[wintry ice]

i had to play more 4oaks

[serene forge]

dang

[wintry ice]

i'm assuming i take gold

[fringe nebula]

[ancient gyro]

[dusty tusk]

does infinity give you a achivment

[shell dagger]

[ancient gyro]

[rustic swallow]

bloodstone = 🐐

[dusty tusk]

bloodstone is ass

[rustic swallow]

no it isnt

[dusty tusk]

oh yeah worse

[rustic swallow]

obelisk sucks

[serene forge]

what

[dusty tusk]

i dont think ive ever used obelisk

i really just dislike bloodstone

[serene forge]

your mom does

[rustic swallow]

o mb

[rustic swallow]

i thought u said obelisk goat

mbmb

[dusty tusk]

obelisk is like bottom one rare

[fringe nebula]

If you believe hard enough, soul will eventually appear

and I believed hard enough

[serene forge]

there are two types of people
people who think obelisk is bad
people who are good

[humble gulch]

Yeah, Obelisk sucks

[serene forge]

least braindead obelisk run:

[rustic swallow]

yeah

[dusty tusk]

yea im not trying to swap my hand every time

[serene forge]

it's not like you're doing it for no reason

you're doing it for xmult that scales faster than yorick

[humble gulch]

Obelisk is one of the best rares

[dusty tusk]

holy ass take

blueprint is RIGHT there

[fringe nebula]

no

i would pick obelisk over blueprint

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[frank notch]

depends on my jokers tbh

if i have a strong xmult already id take blueprint

[round current]

one of the best doesn’t mean The best but obelisk is great i just suck at using it

[humble gulch]

Obelisk, vagabond, campfire, AJ, stuntman and burnt are the best ones

Well, maybe not AJ

[round current]

burnt joker my beloved
