[ancient gyro]

i was surprised you wanted to do gsg first

that took me a month to finish

[humble gulch]

It's more fun

[frank grove]

I cant believe my first attempt at gsg died at magic 😭

[median needle]

We're the Balatro boys.
We just play Balatro instead of toys.
Localthunk is the maker of the game.
The fans give it it's fame.
The discord server is kind of a mess.
But I hang out with Jimbo and he does his bes-t.

[humble gulch]

... Please...

Anything but Trib

I swear

[brittle ocean]

What usually comes first?

[humble gulch]

Free win

Yeah, gg

[ancient gyro]

o

[hardy horizon]

gonna get cooked this blind but i got the nat negative rebate 🙏

[median needle]

Why do people not like Chicot?

[ancient gyro]

the easier to complete

black++ over gsg

since it's just a time sink

[knotty zodiac]

black++ is just a high run crash tolerance..?

[ancient gyro]

tbf I had different intentions for that profile halfway through

wanted to beat brookes black gs streak pb of 7

[fringe nebula]

everyone loves ante 6 needle

it's always ante 6 needle

[median needle]

Can you explain

[ancient gyro]

no

[fringe nebula]

pick your poison
ante 3 tooth or ante 6 needle

[median needle]

Channel silenced

Channel closed

[thorny nebula]

I'll always take tooth

[humble gulch]

[hardy horizon]

[fringe nebula]

uncounterable by any boss blind

[knotty zodiac]

I need a nitro challenge in my life

[ancient gyro]

cool I don't think anybody here cares

[ancient gyro]

none of the shit players have responded to me

it's such a tragedy

[knotty zodiac]

i am willing to sponsor a nitro challenge for players of all skill levels

[ancient gyro]

yeah that's fair

i can do one for our own little friend group

i feel like my seeds would stress them out

though

so if I do it on a sucker then I wouldn't feel as bad

[knotty zodiac]

stress builds character

[fringe nebula]

stress can also make someone quit balatro

[knotty zodiac]

stress can make someone lock in and crush

[ancient gyro]

stress can give them 3 hours of insomnia

[broken sun]

no thanks :(

[knotty zodiac]

eh ppl can decide whether they want to participate or not

[ancient gyro]

spectators and gamers

[knotty zodiac]

maybe tomorrow around this time?

[brittle ocean]

What’s this nitro challenge thing

[knotty zodiac]

beat a seed with specific rules, win nitro

hosted by @ancient gyro last time to rave reviews

[ancient gyro]

mr beast challenge

[fringe nebula]

beat a seed on gold stake to win nitro

a hellish seed though

[median needle]

New nickname for you: master of caring

[echo sphinx]

the better bloodstone

[brittle ocean]

One attempt I assume?

[fringe nebula]

no

[brittle ocean]

Oh

I might be interested then

[knotty zodiac]

last time it was unlimited tries with time limit

[ancient gyro]

i have mostly black deck seeds but there's some other decks I can make up artificial catches for entertainment

[fringe nebula]

I also have a nickname for you : master of nothingburger talk

[broken sun]

What’s the seed?

[ancient gyro]

that'll be unfair

[median needle]

Thank you

[brittle ocean]

I like time limit better

[knotty zodiac]

the talk is a bit overrated at "nothingburger"

[fringe nebula]

ok true

[median needle]

I will take it into consideration but I do like my current nickname

[fringe nebula]

then nothing talk it is

[ancient gyro]

this one won't have a time limit

[brittle ocean]

I press the new run button way too many times usually

[ancient gyro]

technically

[knotty zodiac]

it's showman tier

[broken sun]

Can I ask what the seed is?

[knotty zodiac]

seed not revealed prior to start of challenge

[echo sphinx]

and lost

[brittle ocean]

What’s that? Sorry I’m a bit new to all this

[ancient gyro]

cant reveal it

[broken sun]

oh

[echo sphinx]

once a bloodstone, always a bloodstone

[median needle]

New nickname for you:

SwiftCoyote43

[broken sun]

I was hoping to play

[knotty zodiac]

that message wasnt about the challenge

[median needle]

Your nickname is:

QuickBalls32

[brittle ocean]

Oh lmao

Whoops

[knotty zodiac]

showman is a joker of questionable utility

many would say negative utility

[echo sphinx]

what we taking

[fringe nebula]

pants

[knotty zodiac]

rebate the end

[ancient gyro]

the challenge will be skill based so no random bullshit like find 2 legendaries or win with this specific score

[hardy horizon]

rebate 🙏

[brittle ocean]

Is it just first person to get it after the seed is announced?

[ancient gyro]

what's boss blind

[echo sphinx]

lol we getting conflicts

[fringe nebula]

both are good

[echo sphinx]

club

[ancient gyro]

first person to win

[fringe nebula]

so up to you

[echo sphinx]

the club*

[ancient gyro]

id rebate

[knotty zodiac]

thought about it a bit more, i flip to pants

[broken sun]

Do we need to record our run?

[ancient gyro]

for the lols

[echo sphinx]

im also thinking pants cuz i like pants

real asfk

[ancient gyro]

it'll be on stream

[broken sun]

oh

[ancient gyro]

vc with me and some others and have a casual chill chat

[knotty zodiac]

not posted

[broken sun]

when is it?

[echo sphinx]

WHAT

[fringe nebula]

ah yeah

[ancient gyro]

they call me the fortune teller

[warm wedge]

1. screw this. 2. Thats a lot of stuff

[broken sun]

?

[fringe nebula]

please don't get an atrocious crimson heart snipe

[knotty zodiac]

not regularly scheduled but soon would be pretty fun. @ancient gyro wdyt about tomorrow around this time?

[ancient gyro]

sometime tomorrow or whatever other ppl are down for

preferably not at this time

[knotty zodiac]

when do you like? earlier? i think youre ET?

[ancient gyro]

yeah

i usually like mornings

since i do remote work

most of the week

[knotty zodiac]

mm morning we probably gotta recruit tomorrow for wed

[ancient gyro]

whenever works for me

[echo sphinx]

ive gotten zero dollars over this thing

[ancient gyro]

glorping

[thorny nebula]

I am struggling so hard with orange stake. Should I force the pair slop to try to win?

[knotty zodiac]

ok lets see if we can recruit tm. how many do we need? you said it was a versus challenge?

[brittle ocean]

Immediately the next shop after I spam reroll the shop and fail to find a bean before a crimson heart

[knotty zodiac]

nothing wrong with 🍐 unless you dont like it

[ancient gyro]

it can be however many, I'm fine with like 3 or 4 max

[broken sun]

btw for the challenge, is modded technically allowed as long as it doesn’t add anything?

[thorny nebula]

i'm trying to learn fundamentals. Pair doesn't teach them very well does it?

[ancient gyro]

no mods

[digital pewter]

ANOTHER two guess balatrodle win

this time my first guess was a 100% match

[knotty zodiac]

pairs teach fundamentals very well. how to dig for value, how to get chip source, how to get mult source

most ppl who don't like pairs is because they find it boring to play

[ancient gyro]

i played it in vanilla, house rules stay in vanilla

[digital pewter]

i'm balatrodlocked in

[broken sun]

so not even amulet

[ancient gyro]

idk what that is

[knotty zodiac]

it's a small challenge with a real prize, but aint nobody got time to review which mods are qol and which ones are not x)

[broken sun]

just quality of life, allows bigger numbers and I can turn off scoring animations

[ancient gyro]

steammodded runs on different game source code, bugs may be introduced or removed

[broken sun]

ah

[median grove]

why did i lose this naneinf attempt?

and why is my scoring so bad?

[frank grove]

yeah also steammodded generally is more buggy than the base game is

[ancient gyro]

and I don't keep up with steammodded patch notes

[broken sun]

I probably won’t be able to play because I don’t wanna mess around with the buggy mess

[ancient gyro]

vanilla balatro is fine

[broken sun]

yeah but I don’t wanna unmod it incase everything goes wrong

[knotty zodiac]

maybe you can install clean balatro on a separate user

[brittle ocean]

Qol mods could help with speed right?

[slow iris]

nothing will go wrong

[frank grove]

some do yes, handy has speed up stuff

[ancient gyro]

I just want everyone on an even playing field

nobody has a technical advantage over another

[broken sun]

Considering I won’t be able to really play due to being modded, can I have the seed if I promise not to share it?

[echo sphinx]

instant win

[broken sun]

I just want to see if I can beat it or not

[brittle ocean]

If you still wanna consider my advice, I’d reset early until you find a high red seal

[knotty zodiac]

ooh you did take the obby. hows the hand counts looking?

[slow iris]

if you wanna participate just remove all your mods lol

[brittle ocean]

If you don’t get a bunch of red seals copied by like ante 10 the run is most likely cooked

[humble gulch]

I love Chicot

[broken sun]

to be honest I just wanna see if I can beat it or not

[echo sphinx]

ill be fine lol

[knotty zodiac]

you gucci

[flat tiger]

I love chicot too its $10, $10 is a lot

or 20 mult for dagger

[broken sun]

I don’t necessarily wish to participate

[humble gulch]

It's a free win

[ancient gyro]

you can play with us modded without participating in the bounty if u wanna

[broken sun]

yay

I won’t use broken stuff, but mine might look a tad different

lol

[ancient gyro]

hatsune miku sprites

[broken sun]

i can get those if I want

[brittle ocean]

Is save scumming fair game

Since it’s a part of vanilla

[ancient gyro]

sure

[knotty zodiac]

some time like <t:1777482000:F> ?

[ancient gyro]

uh

[knotty zodiac]

you mean in general or for the bounty?

[ancient gyro]

that works ig

[brittle ocean]

What time zone

[knotty zodiac]

oh thats not morning

[broken sun]

I can’t

[knotty zodiac]

lets try again

[flat tiger]

what bounty are we talking about

[broken sun]

I’m prepping to go to therapy then lol

[echo sphinx]

big FAT obelisk

[knotty zodiac]

<t:1777471200:F>. actually your morning

[echo sphinx]

no crimson heart today!

[knotty zodiac]

it displays in your local time zone

🪄

[ancient gyro]

ight

[broken sun]

I mean id ask for later but if it has to be that early i can try

[brittle ocean]

Oh that’s cool

Shit that’s 11pm for me 😭

[echo sphinx]

i feel like i missed osmething

[knotty zodiac]

ya times are hard

[brittle ocean]

How long do these take

[brittle ocean]

Yeah

[ancient gyro]

last person took 3 hours

with help

and a lot of removed bans

[knotty zodiac]

the challenges are designed to be done in an hour tho?

[ancient gyro]

they should

[knotty zodiac]

i think we just gave extra time bc we wanted to see them win

[ancient gyro]

and I also felt bad lmao

[brittle ocean]

I assume seed analyzers are banned right

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[broken sun]

That’s why the seed isn’t being revealed early

[ancient gyro]

even though it probably won't help in this challenge

[frank grove]

whats the premiss i havent been keeping up 😭

is everyone just playing a tough seed on the same deck gs?

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[echo sphinx]

i would be down

[knotty zodiac]

yep live on a private vc stream

[echo sphinx]

even tho id probably get my ass whopped

[brittle ocean]

What would be some examples of bans?

First time here

[knotty zodiac]

wait does balatro discord allow multiple ppl streaming at the same time?

[ancient gyro]

black gs
bans - vanilla, no copy jokers, win with flush as most played hand
have fun

[brittle ocean]

Discord should

[knotty zodiac]

ya sry i misspoke

[ancient gyro]

uh sure, discord doesn't rly care how many ppl are streaming

[flat tiger]

when obelisk is obelisking

[pallid galleon]

riffraff giving 3 econ jokers is crazy

[knotty zodiac]

i just know some chat software only allows one at once but didnt want to get to the main event and be like "oh jk only one person can participate"

[echo sphinx]

oh lawd

[knotty zodiac]

ig if im supplying the nitro i cant play TT

[ancient gyro]

if you win you get to keep it

[knotty zodiac]

anticlimactic

[ancient gyro]

lul

[brittle ocean]

Was this an actual challenge before?

[broken sun]

hold on can I test run the conditions lol, I can use Banner to ban copy jokers

[knotty zodiac]

the last challenge was a bit different but it also had special conditions

[ancient gyro]

the seed was used in a previous challenge yes

but then they abused the save scumming method so the challenge went in a different direction than I thought

[broken sun]

so what jokers do I need to ban or is it just blueprint brainstorm

[ancient gyro]

so this time I'm changing the rulesets

[ancient gyro]

yeah just those two

[frank grove]

ooh kinda neat

[broken sun]

anything else I should ban?

[ancient gyro]

idk if there was one in this seed, I just didn't take it for stickering purposes

[knotty zodiac]

to be clear, we're banning taking the jokers, not preventing them from showing up in shop

[broken sun]

oh

[ancient gyro]

that's all, I'll let you know what my bans are at the start

[broken sun]

I mean im not fully participating and my run will look a bit different

[ancient gyro]

yeah that'll create new problems

[flat tiger]

where is the bounty you guys are talking about

[knotty zodiac]

the nitro is coming from me for the winner of the challenge

[broken sun]

like the fact my spectrals are trans

[echo sphinx]

the color scheme is fucked

[broken sun]

I can make my entire colour scheme trans im pretty sure

[brittle ocean]

If you make a new empty Mods folder (renaming the old one) and use a new profile it shouldn’t mess anything up

[echo sphinx]

oo

[ancient gyro]

is there a retrowave

or steampunk

palette

[knotty zodiac]

@brittle ocean @broken sun

anyways i gotta run but let @ancient gyro or me know if you're planning to attend

[broken sun]

I have the CODE style

[ancient gyro]

k

wuh

[broken sun]

Black and green

[brittle ocean]

I’ll prob show up and just leave early if it gets too late

[ancient gyro]

ight

[broken sun]

is the prize regular nitro or nitro basic

[ancient gyro]

whatever bus wants

[broken sun]

ah alright

[ancient gyro]

prob regular and then classic if I lift bans

[broken sun]

if it was basic I was gonna offer to chip in

lol

[frank grove]

Ill probably try play through it after since i wont have time tmr but sounds neat

[ancient gyro]

wha

[broken sun]

I like the competitive nature of games

[ancient gyro]

it'll be wednesday in my time (40ish hours)

i like casual competitive

[echo sphinx]

grimbos gonna fight for its life here

[knotty zodiac]

you can come and see if you like it, if you do you can sponsor the next one

[broken sun]

nice!

[ancient gyro]

yeah

i was wondering if we can use one of @pale wolf servers for it

[broken sun]

I do have an interesting challenge idea but it’s more of a silly one than a difficult one

[brittle ocean]

Do you just come up with challenges by trying them out?

[ancient gyro]

i also have a silly one brewed up but I'm saving that for a rainy day

[ancient gyro]

based on runs I've won

[drowsy rain]

Fuck me bro

[broken sun]

Wanna dm eachother about silly ideas?

[flat tiger]

whats the complaint you already won

[echo sphinx]

lol rip

it do be like that

[ancient gyro]

i don't really talk in dms so maybe if zebra is willing to offer his dead server and revive it then talking there works

[broken sun]

ah fair

[flat tiger]

DM you mean "sonner or later leaked messages"?

[broken sun]

I forgot to turn this off

[brittle ocean]

Oh wow yall are very connected

[ancient gyro]

bruh

[broken sun]

I’m not gonna play it

lol

[thorny nebula]

pair slop for the win, finally won orange

[brittle ocean]

Am I understanding this correctly? In gold stake ante 8 is 4000?

[thorny nebula]

#PhotoChud saved me

[broken sun]

Probably

[echo sphinx]

wtf 12k violet vessel xd

actually

[brittle ocean]

High card 2 beats ante 1 boss

[echo sphinx]

3 chips ante 1

[flat tiger]

very rarelly ante 8 boss is the issue, if bosses are an issue its not the ante 8 one, majority of the time

[broken sun]

I can play 6 card hands but I only have 3 joker slots (painted+painted)

[brittle ocean]

Agreed

[echo sphinx]

flush six?

[brittle ocean]

I just glass spam ante 8 usually lol

[broken sun]

I can try

[echo sphinx]

owo

what would 2 3oaks be

[brittle ocean]

Fuller house?

[flat tiger]

i guess amber acron is a real issue if you cant cheese it, but you can so

[broken sun]

Full house +1 if I remember

[echo sphinx]

4oak 2oak

[broken sun]

Just a 4oak

[echo sphinx]

bruh

[brittle ocean]

I call that a yacht when playing poker lol

And/or 3oak + 3oak

[echo sphinx]

2oak 3 times

[broken sun]

from my knowledge, this is broken

[echo sphinx]

indeed

[broken sun]

2 pair +2

[echo sphinx]

perma fifty temperance value

[broken sun]

yeah

this is fairer

ah it’s just a 2 pair for 3-2oak

[brittle ocean]

Is it a thing in this server to put Balatro achievements in your username

[ancient gyro]

since we don't got a lot of roles

ppl just edit their names and add their progression status

[flat tiger]

more like progress

[brittle ocean]

Ah

[frank grove]

Yeah, it gives a little bit of context to ss as well which is useful

[ancient gyro]

i don't do it cause it looks stupid so i stuck with something incomprehensible

[frank grove]

like if someone is 120/150 on c++ and send a ss asking about a joker pickup you know that stickering can be taken into account and stuff

[flat tiger]

do you even have enough space in your name to do that?

[ancient gyro]

it used to be longer

[echo sphinx]

LOL

[broken sun]

imagine abandoned deck but face cards CANNOT appear

[echo sphinx]

[flat tiger]

i sure love my cool seed

[broken sun]

it has a bunch of rates

holo burnt in arcana

[flat tiger]

[warm wedge]

stuntman

[broken sun]

oh it’s nice

blueprint in ante 2 shop

[warm wedge]

right after the boss blind, probelm is no good scoring joker to copy

[broken sun]

stuntman

or the order

[humble gulch]

You have to be crazy to take 5 invisible anti Chicots in ante 0 with the manacle

[brittle ocean]

In the small blind

[broken sun]

okay so I don’t think that is supposed to happen

level 3 high card is 25x23

mods really do break the game

[echo sphinx]

immolate jackpot

[brittle ocean]

What mod are we talking lol

[flat tiger]

would you sell hex for pack or wait

i mean you get to $25 after the round

[brittle ocean]

I’d toss my vote in for wait

[broken sun]

none of them

[bleak hemlock]

zaaaaamn

[broken sun]

[brittle ocean]

What content mods are good btw

I just use Saturn rn

[bleak hemlock]

uh

joker display

[brittle ocean]

For speeding up naneinf

[bleak hemlock]

good

[broken sun]

card sleeves and partner for content

also I think I know why the values are bugged

[ancient gyro]

why i chose to run vanilla

[broken sun]

since burnt is holo, it’s leaking through to levels

[broken sun]

yeah makes sense

[flat tiger]

base game is fun, I see no reason to mod

[broken sun]

I do it for the content

[warm wedge]

uija, ecto

[broken sun]

it’s nice to see

[ancient gyro]

i just play other games

[warm wedge]

i do for qol, jokerdisp + blueprintbrainstorm

[flat tiger]

try so save up to $25 asap if you can survive the round dont buy, then all you can do is hope

ideally pair but my 3oak is lvl3 alr

pair at 2

[ebon condor]

unless you need scoring really bad

[lime remnant]

mhm thats fair

[warm wedge]

howd u not get planted

[flat tiger]

glass or steel and stuff

base mult + steel give you a lot of scoring too

[lime remnant]

get out

good thing dcut is in shop

[flat tiger]

just find the photo again

4Head

[zinc sigil]

I made it work

[lime remnant]

photo is ass 😂

[zinc sigil]

I got familiar

[thorny nebula]

CHAT can I sell the blue joker for a judgement

or is that cope

[lime remnant]

no you kinda need the chip

[zinc sigil]

Not cope

[thorny nebula]

this is the spot

[flat tiger]

blue is not that strong after ante 3 or so

[zinc sigil]

Sell that shit

[thorny nebula]

bloodstone

[zinc sigil]

U get like 40 chips just from retriggers

[ancient gyro]

right I forgot you're not on gs

[thorny nebula]

i'm not building towards any suit

[zinc sigil]

Atleast

[thorny nebula]

but ig i am now XD

[zinc sigil]

Lmaoo

[zinc sigil]

Now I am twin

I made it twin

We at gold stake twin

[ancient gyro]

without the tea

[zinc sigil]

Huh

Its my 4th deck to beat at gold stake

And im pretty confident

I was stuck for 3 days on blue/purple stake

[ancient gyro]

cause twin without the t as in tea is a

nvm

[zinc sigil]

But orange stake in a day

[zinc sigil]

Win?

[ancient gyro]

[flat tiger]

I think I only "stuck" a little with no small blind money, then only real wall for me is painted/plasma

stakes itself is not big deal for me

[zinc sigil]

Idk I always clear orange stake in one try

But blue purple is my nemesis

Its supposed to be easier

Ive cleared ghost deck gs oneshot aswell

[flat tiger]

if you find scoring you find scoring, the extra points needed is not that big of a deal usually

[zinc sigil]

Yea sometimes its just the jump from ante 4/5/6

That killed me

[wraith eagle]

Hi

[zinc sigil]

Sup

[flat tiger]

if I cannot find scoring it doesnt take purple stake to kill me

[lime remnant]

igb

im literally going to die

swash is gone

[wraith eagle]

Chad

[lime remnant]

no chad

[wraith eagle]

:((

[zinc sigil]

Yo I realized nova is just grimbo without the downsides

[flat tiger]

yes chad, get mult cards

on faces

[lime remnant]

lol no

gets its ass beaten by the evil eye

[zinc sigil]

If u only play pair or hc it pretty much is the same

[lime remnant]

0 enhanced card

[flat tiger]

you can do any hand with grimbo, but I like nova more, easy game plan just spam pair

[lime remnant]

no

[ebon condor]

bus is groker without the downsides more than nova is

[lime remnant]

with chip joker you can play any hand

[zinc sigil]

Tf u mean no

[ancient gyro]

nova is grimbo if it had a perishable probability, a pseudo counter boss blind vulnerability, and if it was less hand agnostic

[ebon condor]

bc nova has some pretty major issues of its own

[lime remnant]

read

[brittle ocean]

😓😓😓

[zinc sigil]

Whats groker

[brittle ocean]

Luchador pleaseeee

[lime remnant]

reality nova is grimbo with more downsides 😂

[flat tiger]

gross joker

[zinc sigil]

Which one is that

I know them all by what they do

😭

[lime remnant]

individual

[warm wedge]

learn to use directors cutting edge technology

[ancient gyro]

grimbo

green jimbo

[flat tiger]

i just dont like bus and grimbo, I like nova more, but it locks you into the same hand the entire run, it does nothing if you play something else

[zinc sigil]

Oh groker is grimbo?

[lime remnant]

i dont have good levels anyways

[ancient gyro]

i call it grimbo to not make twitter references

[lime remnant]

@grok who is grimbo

[zinc sigil]

People talk about balatro on twitter

[warm wedge]

i gogoel "groker balatro" and this is what i gfet?????

[zinc sigil]

This happened to me rn

[ancient gyro]

not in my headcanon

[flat tiger]

delay + banner.... what a bad run

[warm wedge]

borgolar

[lime remnant]

its not that bad tho

[zinc sigil]

Idk what u would talk about anyway

[warm wedge]

silly idea

[zinc sigil]

Why is this joker uncommon

[zinc sigil]

It feels like a common joker

250 chips max on a hand

[warm wedge]

plasma deck? all suits have uncomons

[warm wedge]

retriggers sir, dusk, hanging

[zinc sigil]

Jmm

[warm wedge]

all suits have common + uncommon, common is same, uncommons speshul

[flat tiger]

all "better suit jokers" are uncommon, this is also the strongest of them all

[zinc sigil]

Isnt bloodstone the strongest

[flat tiger]

it is, half the time

also 250 chip is A LOT

[bleak blaze]

Rough Gem is because money allows you to buy more powerful jokers

And re roll

[warm wedge]

i mean it isnt wrong

[zinc sigil]

Yea till ante 5 right

[warm wedge]

i mean with oops it gets great

[lime remnant]

tell me what i could have done better

this seed

[zinc sigil]

U dont play a stuntman till ante 8 do you

[flat tiger]

no 250 chips is sinificant the entire run

[warm wedge]

win the run

EXPLODING BANANAS

[flat tiger]

you play stuntman on high card/pair that dont have a lot of chips to begin with

[zinc sigil]

Wtf

[warm wedge]

welp im out

[lime remnant]

what do you mean

[zinc sigil]

Its a question

[lime remnant]

you do tho

[zinc sigil]

How

[lime remnant]

wdym how

its 250 chip

[zinc sigil]

Always felt like 250 chips is not that strong

Especially with planet levels going up to 1000 chips

[flat tiger]

lv 10 pair is not even 200 chips, stuntman more then double your score

[zinc sigil]

I see

Yea makes it easier

Ur right

[lime remnant]

ok bro can you get 1k chip with pair in 8 ante every time

[zinc sigil]

Not pair

[lime remnant]

if not pair why stuntman

[ancient gyro]

pretend chips is mult for a sec

[slow iris]

that doesn't always happen though

[zinc sigil]

Yea but arent 25 chips 1 mult

Or something

[ancient gyro]

what

[zinc sigil]

I saw that in a doc video once

[lime remnant]

1 mult 7.5 chip

individual

[zinc sigil]

Yea something like that

[lime remnant]

thats easy 30 mult

[zinc sigil]

Theres an exchange rate of worth

[ancient gyro]

a stuntman is 25 pluto levels worth of scoring without the work for it

[zinc sigil]

If u say it that way it makes more sende

[lime remnant]

a stuntman is 60 hand of squimbo

early game stuntman is easy 25x to your pair

[echo sphinx]

what a jimbo

[lime remnant]

assuming no level

[ancient gyro]

31 wee triggers

[zinc sigil]

So if u can play a flush with 5 spades u get 25 pluto levels I guesswith that one joker

[lime remnant]

?

[ancient gyro]

what

[lime remnant]

you arent playing flushes with stuntman 💀

[zinc sigil]

This joker

Idk the name

I never used it

[ancient gyro]

sry, stuntman is mostly a hc/pair joker

can work with arrowhead despite it being used for pairs anyways

[lime remnant]

flushes are not as consistent and is a trash hand overall

[zinc sigil]

Im talking about the joker that started all this closing the circle

[thorny nebula]

FUCK YEAH WE BEAT GOLD STAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME

absolute god seed

[lime remnant]

arrowhead good tho

[zinc sigil]

40x4 base is pretty good no

[zinc sigil]

Ggs bud

Good shit

[lime remnant]

good ante 1, maybe 2 and outside that unless you have some insane aj chad shit then its trash

[ancient gyro]

that's about as good as it gets before a2

[zinc sigil]

So when do you take arrowhead then?

[ancient gyro]

pairs

[lime remnant]

if i have no mult

[ancient gyro]

100 chips is good to proc

[frank grove]

pairs, and flush spam on checkered sometimes

[lime remnant]

i mean chips

i can build to spades

100 chip is gold for pair

[zinc sigil]

Yea it makes sense

Thanks

[lime remnant]

could be another retrigger too and it gets basically the same lv as stunt

[zinc sigil]

Sometimes you gotta talk to me like im stupid so I can understand

[wicked sonnet]

balala

[flat tiger]

you can have chad and mult card and now your pair give 12 mult and 150 chips

[zinc sigil]

Yuh got it

[ancient gyro]

one arrowhead proc is x3 pair chips

[zinc sigil]

The hook doesnt autotrigger

I feel scammed

[ancient gyro]

only bosses that tamper with your hand scoring

and ox

[zinc sigil]

I see

Wait

Ox is stupid

LOL

[ancient gyro]

:)

[zinc sigil]

It works with ur last hand I guess

[flat tiger]

then you get games where you spam high card to stack jokers, then laughs at the Ox doing nothing when you can always one shot with main hand

[zinc sigil]

Obby bait OP

[ancient gyro]

hc isn't meta sadly so this is practically unrealistic meta wise

obyliks upscale

[zinc sigil]

succulent

Question

If I get early hiker

And I get a riff raff

And it gives me a runner

Do I keep both

Feels stupid

[ancient gyro]

if u don't need a reason to sell anything

[warm wedge]

hiking vs running which do you liek better

[ancient gyro]

run

[zinc sigil]

Hate both

Im more of a driver

[ancient gyro]

more time efficient

[zinc sigil]

Holy fuck

The bus

[flat tiger]

runner > hiker buy a lot, you dont get to play the same card that much

[ancient gyro]

also makes me more fit

[zinc sigil]

With straights I find myself always going for ace high straights idk why

[viral raft]

Hiker is probably one of the "worst" scaling chips?

[zinc sigil]

Its the hardest to get

[viral raft]

Like without chad sucks and even with that sometimes tjat exact card doesn't appear

[ancient gyro]

it's the worst chip scaler

[flat tiger]

people seems to love hiker but even on good runs you get 50 chips on the best card you get

[ancient gyro]

but still an ok ish chip scaler

[flat tiger]

most cards are liek 10-20 chips its almsot nothing

[viral raft]

Maybe it could be better if it's the cards played, not scored.

So it could work in a way

Or directly buff the amount of chips

[ancient gyro]

it just needs a different meta

[viral raft]

I don't see any other way to make Hiker a good scaling overall

[ancient gyro]

and prob scales by rank

[zinc sigil]

But what should I have done

[flat tiger]

you dont get to draw the same cards over and over wtih 52 cards, let along actualyl scoring them non stop

[viral raft]

A retriggers meta basically

[zinc sigil]

Like fuck gs man

[viral raft]

Take Riff

[ancient gyro]

riff raff

[flat tiger]

first pack riff is fine

[zinc sigil]

Eternal?

[viral raft]

Yeah lol

[flat tiger]

even eternal

[ancient gyro]

yeah

not the worst thing I've done

[zinc sigil]

I go for photochad or what

[ancient gyro]

no

[viral raft]

No

[flat tiger]

you go for whatever riff gives and work on those

[viral raft]

Riff raff eternal wasn't even bad

Yeah, sucks in long term but riff raff ante 1 is PEAK

Like you easily won low antes, so you can prepare more stuff from later idk

[compact gazelle]

the fact that your early antes are basically solved gives you a lot of room to make your lategame a lighter issue

[viral raft]

Exactly!

-1 joker slot but your early antes are op basically

[brittle ocean]

Any naneinf gurus out there, thoughts on selling BS for the extra double tag?

I haven’t found blank or directors cut yet

But found plenty of planet merchants

[compact gazelle]

painted deck but the effect is way more concentrated at the start

:>

[echo sphinx]

YOU ARE KIDDING

[zinc sigil]

I looked at the jokers

Riff raff gives

Thank god I didnt olay that run

[echo sphinx]

burglar grimbo
HOLOGRAM

lost

ok

into pairslop showdown

[zinc sigil]

Oh shit 8k coins

Or chips

[molten thicket]

late but prob no

[warm wedge]

fat?

[echo sphinx]

hack has potential

[warm wedge]

its ok theres reasons why not all people are allowed to fly, some because their to heavy

[compact gazelle]

no way a hack and a blank voucher
omaigoto

[echo sphinx]

yeppers

that blank is never gonna becem antimatter

but i always buy it

[lime remnant]

potential to not get anything

[brittle ocean]

I ended up taking the gamble and found another BS before dying

lucky

still no sign of a voucher tag tho :(

[echo sphinx]

no i just magician

trust

[vocal rose]

make it do mult

instead

[lime remnant]

dumb af

ofc ante 1 order show up when i play some relaxing game

[charred sierra]

shortcut is actually the goat wtf

[humble gulch]

Yes

[charred sierra]

straights is a lot of fun

[lime remnant]

rtb is super strong here

[warm wedge]

abandone?

[lime remnant]

they didnt call it 15 minute city for nothing

[charred sierra]

this chall made me so pissed

EVERY draw was like that

[molten thicket]

i think you're bound to find a bs w 5k, just that how much it'll cost you to do that

but cool

[echo sphinx]

i mean this challenge is literally free

[humble gulch]

I don't use bus in that challenge

[lime remnant]

nah thats loving family deck 🤣

[lime remnant]

yes its free but its js funny

[echo sphinx]

mmmm

two wincons by ante 0

pick your cake

[lime remnant]

order is there so it's litt win

[brittle ocean]

yeah I got pretty lucky finding it without too many rerolls

[glass creek]

Balalalalalalalalalalalalalatro

[humble gulch]

Bro's Luna's evil twin who likes throwback

[lime remnant]

type of white stake pulls that you wished it was in your gold stake run

sure

[echo sphinx]

lol

instant win

[thorny nebula]

was a good run, but at least I have my first Gold victory

What deck should I try next?

[lime remnant]

i skipped everything

[lime remnant]

plasma for maximum pain

[thorny nebula]

💀 nah i'm good

doing a for fun erratic run rn

[lime remnant]

oo 25 joker more to go

[echo sphinx]

these wheel hits are ridiculous

[flat tiger]

just like when I got Brainstorm chad in ante 2 during fragile, then got drivers and glass joker

no such luck with Gold stakes

[echo sphinx]

most lineup of all time

ok

ok buddy

[brittle ocean]

I think you should pick the blue seal

[knotty zodiac]

would you like the regular or the lucky Js_blue? tough choice

[cedar sable]

triple blue seal is wild

[cedar sable]

wait how does ceremonial dagger works if there's an eternal card on right

[echo sphinx]

doesnt do anything

[cedar sable]

damn ok

[brittle ocean]

nothing

[echo sphinx]

ok

[cedar sable]

rip

[brittle ocean]

that's a way to put the +mult effect on the left once you have your joker build

[cedar sable]

take the jimbo imo

polychrome

[echo sphinx]

thats grimbo

this option chioce is so ridiculously unbalance

[cedar sable]

are you playing gold stake btw

because if it is

[echo sphinx]

yes

[cedar sable]

then I can't help

[cedar sable]

oh

[echo sphinx]

options still same as white lol

[cedar sable]

would it be funny if you get ankh

[echo sphinx]

a joker at gold stake will do the same thing as a joker at white stake

lol ye it would

ankh grimo

[cedar sable]

double poly jimbo

[agile dove]

Does anyone have a picture of potential joker combos

[cedar sable]

free 2.25x mult

[agile dove]

Like 15 or 20

Everytime i try combos with dna i end up scoring 50 chips

[echo sphinx]

this run is so won lol

[cedar sable]

2 POLIS

uhh yeah just

remember to use different card types

[echo sphinx]

ye

i ahve 14 pair hands

high card at 10 so its a bit iffy

[cedar sable]

tbh i would replace obelisk if i found blueprint/brainstorm

but blueprint would be a lot better in that situation

i forgot the card called again

but the 3x mult iirc if straight is played

put those at the end

[echo sphinx]

MMMMMMM

no u wont

obelisk is too damn strong here

poly and this big multe

[cedar sable]

ok keep the obelisk

bruh wrong reply

[cedar sable]

^

but i would get rid of jimbo if i found blueprint

[echo sphinx]

nah u wont

this is indeed a start

[cedar sable]

oh it's green jimbo

then yeah keep it

i would sell banner instead

[echo sphinx]

guys what do i do

@knotty zodiac HELP MEEEE

ITS MY ONLY SEAL

[knotty zodiac]

i would talisman

[echo sphinx]
