[noble mango]

But what to boost

That's literally reversed order of operations lmao
Such a troll

[warped moth]

Ok fair point actually

[versed sable]

+1 hand size per 10 steel cards

[noble mango]

Boy

[pastel pagoda]

Do NOT let this guy cookk

[echo sphinx]

gang what

[versed sable]

false

[echo sphinx]

shit went from b rank to The Idol

[eager prawn]

-1 hand per hand if played hand contain steel card

[noble mango]

Hand size is such an insane curreny of balatro imo

[echo sphinx]

ok but 10 steel is super dank

[noble mango]

Girl

[warped moth]

Chips for example
Keeping large amounts of steel means your mult is covered, so why not have a joker that helps with the one thing builds that use steel lack?

[versed sable]

lmao-
"+1 hand size per 10 steel cards in deck, -1 hand size for every steel card played this run"

[versed sable]

ty

[echo sphinx]

still dank

xmult is never diluted

[eager prawn]

Ohh so there would be a challenge that starting with 20 hand sizes and -1 hand size per hand played

[noble mango]

Guys what if

Joker gives +5 mult instead

[warped moth]

Too op

[eager prawn]

If you are run out of hand size you lose

[versed sable]

joker 5

[echo sphinx]

this is a challenge worse than golden needle

[warped moth]

Maybe make it 30 since a typical balatro run has 24 rounds

[pastel pagoda]

It would make it much easier

[noble mango]

Either you must skip or you just die to

High card vs Violet Vessel

[eager prawn]

And ban hand size jokers

[pastel pagoda]

Like its basically a buff

[echo sphinx]

u still have to oneshot blinds or risk just losing on the spot

[eager prawn]

skipping blinds would be only option

[noble mango]

Is this challenge gonna be hard

Erratic deck but every blind shuffles all your cards in deck into a random card
(Keeps the edition and seals and upgrades)

[pastel pagoda]

You can pull 4oak basically guaranteed

first blinds

[echo sphinx]

hows the lategame situation

[versed sable]

pairs v2

[warped moth]

That would be absolute chaos and I wanna try that out

[warped moth]

Oh cmon that's lame!!!!

[echo sphinx]

itll be like mad world

[noble mango]

Erratic ^2

[pastel pagoda]

As always

Its white stake

All challenges are white stake iirc

[versed sable]

so is the challenge if you let people do it xd

it's a fun idea but

[eager prawn]

So it would be possible starting with 25 hand sizes?

[versed sable]

balatro meta kills it

[echo sphinx]

"its white stake" doesnt make things like golden needle easy

easier probably but its still hell

[versed sable]

GOLDen needle

[eager prawn]

I still feel like it's impossible

[echo sphinx]

throwback rng lol

[noble mango]

Squared version of decks . .
Some are just op and some are bullshit insane

[echo sphinx]

one hand 9 joker slot

black^2 the final boss

[pastel pagoda]

My fav

[versed sable]

ik what you mean but i'd like to imagine that you just meant "squared" as in "starts with a square joker and everything else is the same"

[noble mango]

No jokers
20 hand size

[eager prawn]

[echo sphinx]

lol

[noble mango]

Start with 100$

[eager prawn]

Still beating with glass cards?

[echo sphinx]

maybe deck*2 is better

cuz deck^2 is a bit ridiculous

[noble mango]

Lol

[echo sphinx]

like what is nebula gonna do with 0 consumable slot astronomer

[noble mango]

Lmao

Ghost deck ain't gon get much

[echo sphinx]

ghost would be

spectral merchant voucher and 2 hexes

[pastel pagoda]

Ghost would def be better

Worst case scenario you get 2 dollars and a gay joker

[echo sphinx]

actually wait

why isnt spectral voucher a thing

[pastel pagoda]

Omen globe

[stone shell]

apparently 128x mult and a billion planets is good enough for scholar

[noble mango]

It's funny how you still don't get interest but the hands and discards you have left is turning into balatrilion dollars

[echo sphinx]

it feels better to b u y them

[eager prawn]

Ghost decks need a buff

[pastel pagoda]

Huh

No

Why

[viral raft]

is already one of the best decks in the game wdym 😭

ghost should be nerfed tbh

like start without the hex

[terse vale]

na

[pastel pagoda]

Eh

[echo sphinx]

ghost is fine despite the spectral and hexed cuz a good amount of spectrals are literally just $2

[terse vale]

ghost deck is fine as is

[pastel pagoda]

Its a big part of why its good

[noble mango]

It's honestly just because of the spectrals being powerful

[pastel pagoda]

I dont think you should change it at all

[echo sphinx]

like

[pastel pagoda]

Its a great deck

[echo sphinx]

when are u gonna pull out ouija

[eager prawn]

Like staring with spectral vouchers
And starting with Ankh
Omen globe should be reworked

[echo sphinx]

eh its fine

[stone shell]

midas mask, satellite and tribe remain

[echo sphinx]

magic trick and planet vouchers are tied to the hip with one joker each

they should be the ones receiving a buff

[viral raft]

i just feel like Ghost is by far one of the best decks overall, most of spectrals are bad but the good ones are just amazing, also starting with a hex is just so "yeah now you also starts with a great starting joker lol"

[stone shell]

i think its telling how bad tribe is as an xmult if its one of my unstickered jokers left alongside two econ jokers

[eager prawn]

I just sell hex

[viral raft]

😭

[noble mango]

Anyways

What do yall recommend to draw other than cubes to improve art

[pastel pagoda]

Honestly I think tribe would be fine as 2.5x mult

[stone shell]

yeah tribe needs some love

[pastel pagoda]

Or maybe 3x even

[noble mango]

Literally cavendish better than tribe

[pastel pagoda]

Kinda ridicolous how it gives the same amount as duo

[viral raft]

i like to draw pots or trees when i want to improve art :D

or face cats idk

[echo sphinx]

tribe would be fine if balatro meta wasn't super pairslop

[noble mango]

Pots and trees huh

Thanks

[echo sphinx]

u know what needs attention tho

The Idol

[stone shell]

i think it should just be 2.5x, dont think it should be order levels strong

[viral raft]

yeaah, they're basic but that the point, you can add as many details as you want

[noble mango]

I wonder what will checkered^2 be

[echo sphinx]

it targets [rank] and [suit] for unreliable xmulte

[viral raft]

tribe should be X3 mult so atleast is viable on Flush meta

[pastel pagoda]

I can't really think of a change that would make it good but not overpowered

[stone shell]

we all gave up on idol and accepted its just the lesser endless pick joker

[echo sphinx]

all spade, a k q j 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

have fun strushing

[pastel pagoda]

Maybe make it just rank and not suit?

[eager prawn]

Mr bone should save by 50%

[echo sphinx]

i would make it an econ joker

or a sclaing joker

[viral raft]

i wish for a Straight/Flush/Full house meta

that would be really cool

straight is really strong on this meta but overall is just runner slop to then just go pairslop

[pastel pagoda]

3 oak has the least aura of all hands ngl

[noble mango]

Ehh
Sometimes too much details ruin it somehow

[stone shell]

i think i gave an idea of an idol rework being

"Gain 1x mult whenever a [random rank & suit] is scored"

[shell dagger]

way too strong

[warped moth]

Personally, I like pretending pairs don't exist. I still have two C++es and over 700 hrs on this game and it never got old because this game has just that much diversity when you don't force the same 5 runs every time

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah I kinda like that

[noble mango]

Kinda op

[pastel pagoda]

Tone down the scaling a little bit tho

[eager prawn]

What about showman rework!

[pastel pagoda]

like 0.75x mult

[echo sphinx]

so i would do ilek this

The Idol

Gain x mult whenever a [rank] & [suit] is scored

0.5 multe

[stone shell]

should probably be 0.75x yeah

just gave it a highball since you still need to draw the card

[shell dagger]

it would be balanced at 0.5x

[noble mango]

Rn it's a 32x mult for 5 cards excluding replay

[echo sphinx]

it makes idol a very interesting pick in erratic

[shell dagger]

that’s like const with no econ or blueseals

[stone shell]

heres a good question how tf do we balance bloodstone

[echo sphinx]

cuz u have to look at the entire deck and see which [rank] and [suit] have the least quantity and target those

[stone shell]

or do we just leave it as is

[noble mango]

What if 50% was removed

[echo sphinx]

proc as a scoring joker methink

[stone shell]

would just be a strict aj sidegrade

[echo sphinx]

upgrade cuz it always target hearts

[noble mango]

I mean rn it's an aj sidegrade rn

[echo sphinx]

what if bloodstone procs on blood and stone :thonk:

[shell dagger]

that’s not always an upgrade

can’t dodge heart boss

[stone shell]

bloodstone should proc whenever a stone is triggered, its literally in the name!

[noble mango]

What if 50% chance to 1.5x mult and 50% chance to 1.2x mult

[echo sphinx]

highroll^2 mmmmm

[shell dagger]

bloodstone should still be card scoring

[stone shell]

too complex for base balatro :P

[shell dagger]

like all the other gem jokers

[echo sphinx]

true...

[noble mango]

Rough gem

[molten thicket]

hey he got a point

[stone shell]

i wanna just say make bloodstone guaranteed 1.3x for hearts but thats too little

[shell dagger]

erm card activation

is what I meant to say

[terse vale]

and shouldn’t be money chips or +mult related I gues

[noble mango]

What if it was scaling

[molten thicket]

might still be good considering it's a worse aj with a fixed suit?

[echo sphinx]

1.25x per heart scored no question, thoughts?

[viral raft]

true sometimes that is really annoying, you can try to make a simple thingy (like this random faces cats that i made) then you add details later like the lighting and stuff to make it look more cool idk (atleast that's what i do)

what a ugly cats tbh

[stone shell]

could probably work since its a 3x mult on heart flushes

[little roost]

Yo does anyone know how to solve the problem of mobile unlocking not working

[stone shell]

kinda pathetic that after a full hand retrigger its only 9x tho :P

[noble mango]

Nah mine's worse lmao

[echo sphinx]

9x is kinda diabolical in any run so i think its fine (?)

[molten thicket]

at least it's better than bloodstone currently

[noble mango]

Tis kinda ass

[stone shell]

yeah current bloodstone needs like 3 hits to reach 3x

[viral raft]

not the angry pumpkin from pvz 😭

[echo sphinx]

like at least it removes the worst part of bloodstone is that its inconsistent

[terse vale]

wait so if there’s wee joker then that means…

joker… my man 🤣 🤝

[molten thicket]

ehhh

[viral raft]

Localthunk should just delete Bloodstone

what a garbage joker

[cloud sinew]

which is the same as current bloodstone's average, but it wouldnt be able to lowroll anymore.

[noble mango]

The rest of my gallery were p much children doodle id say

[molten thicket]

photochad is 8x and it isn't that good

[echo sphinx]

imagine being a hearts fan and not seeing a joker unlock for 30 hearts

[stone shell]

diabolical take

[pastel pagoda]

It IS good

[viral raft]

they should just rework it

[pastel pagoda]

Honestly skill issue if you can't make it work

[echo sphinx]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1450117094720147537

[viral raft]

like omg hearts are by far the worst suit

[molten thicket]

okay i should reword

[echo sphinx]

lol yeah

[molten thicket]

uhh

[viral raft]

even diamonds are better just because of rough gem

[ebon condor]

they should make bloodstone give x4 every 6 hands played tbh

[echo sphinx]

monis is m o n i s

having it not being hearts is a bit. lol
and having it not score on played hearts is also. lol

[stone shell]

maybe give it a card for being so loyal

wait a minute...

[viral raft]

Rough gem even as just pairslop is way better than bloodstone in any situation

[echo sphinx]

so just removing its inconsistency is the best way to address its shortcomings while still retaining the trend

[stone shell]

idk maybe thunk wants bloodstone to be a gambler

[echo sphinx]

just make a 7 rank specific joker at that point lol

[ebon condor]

they should make bloodstone 1/3 for x2

[stone shell]

if he didnt why would he make bloodstone a 1/2 for 1.5x when he reworked it

[echo sphinx]

what was bloodstone beofre

[viral raft]

bloodstone should be a "1.25" Xmult per each scored heart (not 1 in 2 chance)

[stone shell]

1/3 for 2x

[viral raft]

damn that really garbage

[echo sphinx]

bruh

[stone shell]

yes a non multiple of 2 meaning no oops synergy

[echo sphinx]

even more highrolly

[stone shell]

scary

[serene forge]

I <3 yuri

[noble mango]

Anyways how long have you been drawing

Cuz i have bee doin it for like uhh
Maybe a year

[cloud sinew]

what

[noble mango]

Who wanna watch yuri

[stone shell]

iirc during the test build before the update bloodstone was 1/2 for 2x

[echo sphinx]

2 in 3 is a bit lol

[viral raft]

mmmm since september or something

[stone shell]

no *full oops synergy

[cloud sinew]

can you say what you mean instead of putting lol

[stone shell]

my bad

[ebon condor]

wasnt even that good and i stand by this

[viral raft]

i mostly just do pixelart because i still suck at it 😭

[echo sphinx]

the argument goes from "damn imagine needing a specific joker to make it work" to "damn even [oops] cant save this joker"

[noble mango]

Do you remember

[echo sphinx]

oops 1 in 3 is a synergy of all time

[serene forge]

oops doesnt even make sponkler guaranteed what a shit joker

14alnstsua_grr

[stone shell]

to be fair if you're relying on spoker hits for scoring your run is hella cooked

[viral raft]

kinda, my first pixelart were a ugly ahh sprite of the sins from Isaac as balatro cards

[echo sphinx]

bro woke up to shit on oops' sole funder

[cloud sinew]

it was AJ, on average, that you could deckfix for and got ridiculous with Oops

[noble mango]

The twenty first night of September

[echo sphinx]

onyx agate is also certainly a club suit joker of all times

[noble mango]

Love was changing the minds of pretenders

[stone shell]

what if Oa6 was 1/2 for 1.75 instead

*bloodstone

god im high

[echo sphinx]

its the pro max of a existing common joker

[serene forge]

1/2 2x bloodstone would still be shit but at least it would be kinda interesting if you got the synergy

[viral raft]

i think that bloodstone is a good example of game design of how you should NEVER make stuff with RNG works around your scoring

[stone shell]

what if BLOODSTONE was 1/2 for 1.75x instead

[serene forge]

1/2 1.5x is just awful knowing that ancient does the exact same thing without needing oops

[noble mango]

While we chasin the nights away

[cloud sinew]

misprint is a fine joker and it's RNG

[serene forge]

would guaranteed bloodstone doing 1.2x or something per trigger be fine

[viral raft]

the diff is that is design as a early game joker and most of the time actually worst atleast a bit

[noble mango]

Hmm

I mean
Not as your main scoring sure

But misprint is there

[echo sphinx]

a bit more and its all fine imo

1.25 or 1.3x

[noble mango]

Ok i frogot the lyrics of earth wind and fire

[regal wasp]

chat I need advice for my run #🕹・run-discussion

[ebon condor]

what if we make bloodstone a 1.5/2 chance for x1

[cloud sinew]

so it's not a hard rule

[noble mango]

Post it here

[viral raft]

Misprint is designed just to early antes, also most of the time actually works, bloodstone is a 50/50 you win or you simply lose

[terse vale]

lowkey they’re right people overrate it a lot

but idk what “not that good” means

[noble mango]

Valid

[regal wasp]

do I sell sock for idol and go for fixing and wild cards

[ebon condor]

ehhh i wouldnt really say so

[stone shell]

wdym worth something my misprint can only pop out +2 mult +0 mult +L bozo for picking me

[viral raft]

true, but the idea is that you shouldn't make a rng joker as your "win condition"

[ebon condor]

misprint is still susceptible to lowrolls

[viral raft]

must've been the wind

[serene forge]

if you're using misprint beyond ante 2 you only have yourself to blame

[serene forge]

nobody expects misprint to be a win condition because it's obviously not designed to be one

unlike bloodstone

[patent sail]

so far so good

[viral raft]

nah hahaha, i started like in 7th or early days of september

[viral raft]

well done!

[serene forge]

so misprint bricking is annoying for sure but less annoying than when bloodstone bricks

[echo sphinx]

lowroll is generally 2 in 23 odds

[noble mango]

Oh sorry i was singing earth wind and fire

[patent sail]

AND HACK SHOWED UP ANTE 9 AFTER THE RUN IS DONE

this is trolling

[stone shell]

nah bloodstone is 100% a wincon for the blinds

[noble mango]

At least he showed up

[serene forge]

like if you have a misprint in ante 1 as long as you're not literally rolling 0s over and over youre fine

[viral raft]

ohhhh mb i thought that you were trying to guess the day that i tried to start making art 😭

[serene forge]

you don't need that much scoring that early

[patent sail]

brody is late to work

[noble mango]

Well i forgot about the past
😭

[serene forge]

which is a 1/24 chance

[patent sail]

last 2 wins and its officially over

for c+ anyway

[noble mango]

Well
You did well
At least more well than that ai slop

[echo sphinx]

i just thought of something diabolical for bloodstone

what if it basically glasses

[patent sail]

0/2 chance

[stone shell]

i see no difference vs current bloodstone

[noble mango]

Who tf thinking

"Yeah ima slap an elephant into cactus and a crocodile into a bomber plane"

[echo sphinx]

Scored hearts give 2x mult, 1 in 4 to destroy

[viral raft]

misprint have way more consistency than bloodstone (and misprint is literally made to being random on purpose)

[serene forge]

1 in 9.5 chance of 0.44x

[patent sail]

people, apparently

[serene forge]

blackboard synergy

[patent sail]

dice deckfixing synergy

[stone shell]

lowk i would probably use this more for deckfixing than for scoring

[wary zodiac]

unfortunately

i think a second rental would kill me

[serene forge]

sad

[patent sail]

thats why you buy paintbrush and die!

[wary zodiac]

wait you're so right

how do i get the credit card in the celestial pack though

[patent sail]

i know i know im very smart and attractive and funny and humble

[stone shell]

surely someone launched to outer space

[echo sphinx]

ye thats the whole idea

[patent sail]

credit card in doubleclick on the reroll button

[stone shell]

genius we can then pick up the credit card for 2 more rerolls

[patent sail]

to find showman

[viral raft]

gem alert

[noble mango]

lovely trading card ++

[patent sail]

absolute gem alert indeed

[noble mango]

riff

you had 5 turns to lay jokers

[stone shell]

yeah we now riffraff is the goat of all commons

[noble mango]

preferably egg

[viral raft]

the goats of commons are riff raff, rebate and chad

[stone shell]

riff raff should really be an uncommon why tf is it a common anyway :P

[patent sail]

if riffraff makes an egg

can we say that he FUCK you beat me to the joke nvm

[echo sphinx]

of the whoel game more like

[patent sail]

because funny

[viral raft]

if riff raff lay eggs

[patent sail]

riff raff + showman can THEORETICALLY turn riff raff into a chicken

[echo sphinx]

so that u can pull a negative riffraff that spits out more negative riffraffs, and then negative riffception opwered by showman™

[viral raft]

[patent sail]

why are you running

[patent sail]

swash chicken strat?

[viral raft]

this run is peak

[patent sail]

average riff raff run

[noble mango]

i lost the balatro version

[patent sail]

+15 mult

[noble mango]

no no

3x mult

[viral raft]

Gross is also peak but sometimes is just not 100% worth

but yeah cavendish easily one of the best Xmults

[noble mango]

and it's a common

wait hold on

[echo sphinx]

this is certainly a balatro reference

[patent sail]

[wary zodiac]

straightslop??

[noble mango]

so

if chicot defeats bosses (disables them in game)

how does he do it to a wall

[wary zodiac]

isn't straight one of the hardest hands to build towards

[patent sail]

straights so easy with shortcut

[viral raft]

is slop when is just runner then pivots in a pairslop

[wary zodiac]

straightslop would be like love island

[patent sail]

shortcut makes it beyond free

as a straights enjoyer i LOVE shortcut

[viral raft]

and also trading card

[cloud sinew]

shortcut and trading card makes it very free

[viral raft]

way too easy

[noble mango]

shortcut, smeared and four fingers is an overkill no?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[patent sail]

just shortcut is so free

[hearty tusk]

Pain

[cloud sinew]

only situation that really justifies that is if youre running straight flushes / baseball card

[echo sphinx]

strush is so fun tho

[wary zodiac]

god i lovr straight flush builds

[noble mango]

should i make a forum that contains every single instance of blueprint/brainstorm showing up when you had less than 10 money at early ante

[echo sphinx]

and esp with baseball cuz they're all uncommons

[hearty tusk]

Immeasurable

[echo sphinx]

Look at all these close calls

[viral raft]

that hurts tbh

nt

[shy tangle]

Yeah

[patent sail]

this plasma deck shit is easy

[viral raft]

wait for VV 2.4m

[shy tangle]

Ante 6 and scores of like 50K-60K seems to be my limit

[viral raft]

that sucks but don't worry with time you'll learn to win all your runs :D

nah you just need to know how to manage your cards and stuff

with good manage you can win most of runs

[shy tangle]

Director's Cut, Grabber & Nacho Tong, Wasteful & Recyclomancy, etc.

Also a few tarots

[patent sail]

plasma first shop runner what we think

the only time i died to acorn was because i forgot to look at what AJ is on

[terse vale]

i have bad news

[cloud sinew]

2 are very dangerous, 2 are meaningless more often than not, and 1 is pretty much a regular blind.

[patent sail]

do they know

[shy tangle]

Those two have killed SO many of my runs

[crystal topaz]

Abstract or buffoon?

[cloud sinew]

abstract

[patent sail]

yeah so theres something more evil than wall on ante 8

[terse vale]

the wall comes back with a vengeance as a finisher blind

[patent sail]

wall 2 the electric boogaloo

[shy tangle]

Oh god

[buoyant stratus]

What's y'all's favorite hand?

I'm curious

[patent sail]

my right hand

[shy tangle]

Top 3 are Two Pair, Straight, and Full House

[buoyant stratus]

Hahahah

[patent sail]

straights tho

[buoyant stratus]

For me it's probably flush five, 4oak, full house

[patent sail]

full house is such a chuddy hand

i like it kind of but like

its not worth it 90% of the time

[vale shale]

I love me some 3oak.

[patent sail]

the only time i ever play FH if i absolutely NEED to maximize steven/todd/fibonacci output

[vale shale]

But neb neb deck

[nova junco]

why am i not getting my achievements

bruh

[patent sail]

you have steammodded?

[vale shale]

Unlock all maybe

[cloud sinew]

are you playing modded

[nova junco]

no I'm on vanilla atm

[patent sail]

maybe unlock all

[cloud sinew]

what achievement arent you getting

[hidden lance]

well...

[nova junco]

I was able to get the "play a flush with 5 wild cards" 10 minutes ago but I'm not getting the have 80 cards in your deck one

[pale wolf]

on vanilla "atm" throws red flags

[patent sail]

maybe its on a challenge deck?

[buoyant stratus]

It's a nice midway hand that works for must builds

Like 3 important cards and then 2 throwaway ones

[pale wolf]

steammodded with mods turned "off" is still modded fyi

[nova junco]

maybe just finish the run?

[patent sail]

maybe idk

[cloud sinew]

is your steam language in english

[patent sail]

probably

[nova junco]

As I said I was able to get the "play a flush with 5 wild cards" 10 minutes ago

I disabled mods as a whole

[nova junco]

no

[pale wolf]

if you're still playing on steammodded client or however it works, then its modded

[buoyant stratus]

Doesn't work with flush five/flush house
Sadly I know from experience

[crystal topaz]

Right joker looks good?

[patent sail]

both are

[buoyant stratus]

Is that what you did?

[cloud sinew]

non-english steam achievement descriptions are known to be wrong, change your steam language to english and see if you already have it.

[nova junco]

I am playing the vanilla version

[nova junco]

damn

[crystal topaz]

Ooh right I can go diamond build

[patent sail]

ancient switches

so keep all suits balanced

[nova junco]

I mean is that right or is it not 80

[pale wolf]

unseeded, right? lol

[nova junco]

bruh

yes

unseeded
unmodded
not challenge

[crystal topaz]

do I get both?

[nova junco]

maybe I just have to finish the run first

[nova junco]

as I said I was given the other achievement in the same setting

[patent sail]

burnt doesnt really synergise with ancient (at least i think), so choose one

[cloud sinew]

did you check that it's the right achievement in English

[patent sail]

id go ancient here icl

[buoyant stratus]

i love me some money

[nova junco]

yes

I cant be that stupid the achievement is "Have 80 or more cards in your deck." what am I missing😭

[buoyant stratus]

oh wow

[patent sail]

i kill 8 ball here dont i

[pale wolf]

Tell me that was judgment

[nova junco]

I also won AND lost the run and didnt get it

[nova junco]

Oh wait I think I understood it wrong

[knotty zodiac]

thats fine

can also consider todd depending on your scoring, it might come back non rental

[cloud sinew]

🤨

[patent sail]

8 ball died 🐎🔥

[pale wolf]

im so sad about losing that canio abandoned run earlier

[unique pecan]

Guys i need your help. I am trying the seed from yeasterday is it better to copy only dusk or dusk and once idol?

[pale wolf]

any other deck and it wouldve been a free win

[nova junco]

you didn't mean the achievement says 80 instead of 100 or smth you meant it might be a completely different one that got switched up?

[pale wolf]

but abandoned i never got a hangman in my inventory and i never drew any of the faces i had in packs

[cloud sinew]

yes

I literally said to switch your steam language to english

😭

and i asked again if you checked its the right achievement in English

and you didnt

[nova junco]

I remember another achievement being "wrong" like I meant

[nova junco]

my bad

oh yeah its THE FUCKIGN WRONG ACHIEVEMTN

[vale shale]

Genuinely I thought that roffle had buff legs

[nova junco]

I hate you thunk

[cloud sinew]

what did thunk do

[nova junco]

he switched up the translations

[patent sail]

made a game

[vale shale]

Make the game

[vale shale]

Beat me to it

[patent sail]

teeheee :3

[smoky hill]

What’s the best way to gain money in a run?(I’m trying to get the nest egg achievement)

[patent sail]

anaglyph deck + money skip

this fucking rental todd ate all my money i swear to god

[idle basin]

both pants and fortune at 14

[cloud sinew]

im pretty thunk only speaks english

[idle basin]

take the joker and kill fist or naw

[cloud sinew]

the localisation/translation is done by other people

[nova junco]

idc its his fault

(this is a joke)

[patent sail]

if i drew ONE 10 i would kill this guy rn

[idle basin]

wtf is ur top hand played LOL

[patent sail]

straight ofc

[idle basin]

ur cooked

[patent sail]

i know alright

[echo sphinx]

gang what is this

[patent sail]

if i drew ONE straight this leaf would be found dead in a dumpster behind the casino building

OFF BY 23K

[echo sphinx]

anyway u play two pair with hanging chad targetting j diamond and start praying or smsh

[patent sail]

i played 2 pair yea

off by 23k

fuck my stupid baka life

[echo sphinx]

rip

endscren?

[patent sail]

HOW did it not draw a 10

[knotty zodiac]

two straights always a bit risky

[echo sphinx]

r i p

[patent sail]

i drew ZERO

[long zodiac]

alr, what do i sacrifice?

[idle basin]

do i risk incantation

[patent sail]

im telling you if that glass 10 didnt die last big blind i would draw it i GUARANTEE IT

[idle basin]

u prob dont need playing card

[patent sail]

this plasma deck shit is easy anyway tho

[long zodiac]

It helps with deck fixing for spades, and it’s basically half of a hung man every round

[buoyant stratus]

This time it wasn't
It was just in the shop

But I did get a blueprint from a judgement yesterday

[idle basin]

Then kill the bones one

If you're safe enough

[long zodiac]

Yeah i should be okay for a few more antes as long as I keep drawing full houses

[idle basin]

Dude a full house of 10's and 8's on my run only scored 27.9k

And I have mark 72k as boss blind target

[buoyant stratus]

Got that run to ante 12 btw

That didn't find anything better to score with

My roster was 2 BS 1 BP MIR and the bull

[idle basin]

How tf can I not do red deck green stake

I'm just massive skill issuing

[buoyant stratus]

I can offer help if you want

[idle basin]

I have foil dagger at 0 rn

[buoyant stratus]

I'm not the best but I probably can offer some run advice

[echo sphinx]

same

lets begin run

my credentals is doing a dna run with baron fist

[buoyant stratus]

I'm trying to pull off a successful idol run

But struggling to get enough deck fixing early

[echo sphinx]

fullhouse erratic thonk

[buoyant stratus]

Y'all what does wraith give me

I'm guessing the duo

Oh actually no red seal is better

Vagabond from judgment

HUH

[hidden lance]

22 hands 0 procs, all levels bought

[buoyant stratus]

why does vagabond just decide to work before sixth sense

Fuck you

[hidden lance]

joker order?

[buoyant stratus]

No

It was the right order

[hidden lance]

then idk

[buoyant stratus]

I got scammed

[gentle basalt]

Oh i see

[buoyant stratus]

Because I only had one empty slot

[gentle basalt]

I think the deletion step and the playing card step are different

And obviously the deletion happens later

Similarly, hand scored and hand played are different events too

[buoyant stratus]

Probably

[long zodiac]

Dusk is so tempting

[cosmic sun]

thats like picking up a dog turd and smearing it all over your jokers

[long zodiac]

Well like it may help me for Crimson Heart

[buoyant stratus]

i need some help with this

trying to make this an idol run

i got hack for the retriggers, minimal deck building so far

been really unlucky with tarot cards

do i just keep invis for now?

[echo sphinx]

PARKING GREEDDD

[long zodiac]

well ig dusk was the option there

i died bc card sharp was debuffed

[pastel hatch]

any tips for more consistent gold stake earlygame? i feel like im griefing more than i should

[serene forge]

I <3 yuri

[buoyant stratus]

Real

[woven hare]

[woven hare]

[pastel hatch]

[echo sphinx]

this is certainly a win of all time

yeah just burn vv with p a i r s l o p

and no scoring +mult joker

[spring jungle]

Do i take mime here?

Going for endless highscores

[echo sphinx]

take your side

[echo sphinx]

ye

[spring jungle]

No reson to wait for another baron?

[echo sphinx]

tho idk enough abt endless to replae showman with mime

[spring jungle]

Yea

[spring jungle]

Should i wait for baron?

[echo sphinx]

clueless xd

[humble gulch]

Blackboard, next

[echo sphinx]

i shud hear others opinion

cuz this is goat vs goat

[long zodiac]

Do you have a lot of spades/clubs?

[echo sphinx]

others as in more ppl

[echo sphinx]

i literally just started

26 cards fit blackboard

[long zodiac]

I’d still take blackboard bc it gives you something to fish for

[shell dagger]

blackboard

[spring jungle]

Anyone else know what to do?

[solar meteor]

blackboard

u have two econ jokers already

[pale wolf]

hey guys i come with another sweet observation

[solar meteor]

blackboard

[pale wolf]

check this out

[cosmic sun]

So when is Jimbo exodia

[solar meteor]

no color swap patches

[humble gulch]

Fuck

[pale wolf]

thats bc thats the spare pair

the main trousers are new

[echo sphinx]

rip

[pale wolf]

alternatively

[humble gulch]

Balatrodle in 5

[cosmic sun]

"Don't eat all that popcorn, it'll go right to your thighs!"

[wind basin]

Its time to go mad

[humble gulch]

Bro

[echo sphinx]

straightsmaxxing

looks fun ngl

[thorny nebula]

Is there ever an option to take this DNA

[serene forge]

no

well

maybe

[versed sable]

if you have a really good card then maybe dna into temperances but almost always no

[serene forge]

for the temperance

[versed sable]

i'd assume you can do better with the fool cards idk

[thorny nebula]

yea I'm gonna just go next round

I will just play around clubs until something valuable shows up

I usually just hermit w/ my fools on low stake magic deck runs

grimbo?

still no arcana packs tho

I can theoretically make this a green joker run, it is early enough

[cloud sinew]

yes

[thorny nebula]

I didn't

[wind basin]

its like violet vessel is required every single time I choose green joker

[warm wedge]

tips on getting satelite?

[wind basin]

Aight let's go

[thorny nebula]

this is what we are doing now

[wind basin]

thats gonna be rough

lmao

[echo sphinx]

is wee?

[versed sable]

i would take it

[wind basin]

Finally winning gold stake on this deck

[echo sphinx]

what the fuck

as if the run isnt ridiculous enough i get a chips source

pants tho.

hm

nah

[eager lance]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/mDVPhKF5O8of9LWog?invite=cr-MSw1TkwsMjAxMDU1Mzc3&v=34 new highscore

just need recton voucher 🙏

[knotty zodiac]

rebate and golden ticket/midas helps a lot

[winged quiver]

is this the right arrangement for my jokers?

or am i stupid

[eager lance]

what hand are u playing

[crystal topaz]

Is coupon tag round 1 worth skipping?

[eager lance]

wha deck

if yellow deck prob not

[winged quiver]

five of a kind, im using queens

[eager lance]

with redseal?

with glass?

[winged quiver]

i haven't gotten a redseal, i only have 1 glass queen, most of them are lucky cards

[eager lance]

hm

its kinda complicated cuz you have 2 different builds combined

but generally you want to have an equal amount of triggers as xmult

[winged quiver]

no need..

i didnt get anything to remove this bum boss blind

[eager lance]

classic 😭

[winged quiver]

I HATE THIS

THIS IS THE WORST

THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE

[eager lance]

btw

u could have survived

oh wait

nvm

[winged quiver]

THE REROLL WAS SO EXPENSIVE

[eager lance]

10 dollars?

how is that expensive

u had enough

[pale wolf]

therefore they obviously couldn't have been talking about boss reroll

and are talking about the other roll that can be expensive

context clues

too deep and to endless to search for glass for a save, and didn't have any relevant vouchers
sad face

[winged quiver]

balatro Gods struck me down with bad luck

[pale wolf]

endless isnt real anyways

[winged quiver]

I do like seeing bigger numbers

[eager lance]

fr

currently in a naneinf attempt

[winged quiver]

how many attempts ?

[eager lance]

second attempt

idk if should get bean or not

[winged quiver]

okay wow im still so new at balatro

😭

[eager lance]

when did u start lol

[winged quiver]

literally last month ago

it was on and off

[pale wolf]

very nu

[winged quiver]

yup

[deft sentinel]

in one month i got e21

maybe u are just bad

[eager lance]

i started 2 weeks ago 😭

and i got e58

rn

[winged quiver]

pretty much yea

[deft sentinel]

like ye, sum maybe u just suck

[pale wolf]

High score has very little to do with what most people count as skill in this game

[winged quiver]

I got work and shi 💔

[deft sentinel]

then just win money without workin duh

[winged quiver]

hmm good point

[eager lance]

i think i started april 22th

so less than 2 weeks

[pale wolf]

I don't consider someone a better player just because they played enough white stake endless attempts to run into all of the necessary ingredients to get a few more e

[eager lance]

ig

[winged quiver]

you're newer than me

[eager lance]

well i did beat gold stake in one attempt

still the only attempt too lol

[deft sentinel]

open a balatro channel, and make everyone comment in rage about how u not bought baron in ante 2

ez money

[eager lance]

yeah

[pale wolf]

baron isn't even... nevermind

[deft sentinel]

ok nerd

we get it

[winged quiver]

this sounds amazing

[pale wolf]

there already is a balatro rage bait channel and it truly is garbage

[eager lance]

nah idol

[deft sentinel]

idol is so fuckin overrated

[pale wolf]

by new players

[deft sentinel]

and new players are the 70% of the people playin

[spark kernel]

Stuntman on painted deck is really good

[pale wolf]

This game is like 2 years old

[eager lance]

thats the point

how did u fall for ur own ragebait

[winged quiver]

💔

[deft sentinel]

im just ragebaitin u about fallin into my own ragebait

[winged quiver]

no way they fallin for balatro ragebait

[pale wolf]

there's functionally no difference between the adamantly held opinions of a new player that has mostly experienced a game through YouTube videos, and actual rage bait

[shy tangle]

Bruh how 😭

[patent sail]

okay ill leave again now bye

[pale wolf]

baron isn't a good joker

[deft sentinel]

why people still losin runs in balatro in the big 26

dude just dont lose

[brittle temple]

the peak of balatro gameplay is buying ante1 baron and blueprint and then dying on ante4

[pale wolf]

they double skipped for that by the way

truly some blessed gameplay

[patent sail]

ante 1 flower pot + sell button synergy

[shy tangle]

Still kinda worth it in this case since it's $0 here. Get that plus the Buffoon Pack and Celestial Pack, then when you find something better, sell the Baron later

[pale wolf]

definitely worth taking if it's free, the issue is that it shouldn't be free because they shouldn't have skipped for it in the first place

[deft sentinel]

and its poly

[brittle temple]

grab baron for temperance value

[deft sentinel]

so it does something instead of givin 1.5 every 3 antes

[patent sail]

get baron and immideately sell him to show him his place

[brittle temple]

tbf they couldnt have guessed it was gonna be a baron

unless it was seeded

[shy tangle]

I would never lose THAT easily

[brittle temple]

but if its seeded they prob want it for that

[pale wolf]

if it was seeded then why would they care about losing

🦓

[brittle temple]

karma farming idk

[deft sentinel]

because men never lose

[pale wolf]

which is why you shouldn't skip

[brittle temple]

second point is me trying to larp only my first point matters

[deft sentinel]

yo santa how it is goin the bussiness for this year

[eager lance]

that can be true with any joker in a certain situation

[brittle temple]

my coal mines are running out

[deft sentinel]

just go to africa

[pale wolf]

what's your point

[brittle temple]

yeah but baron is in those situations way more often

[pale wolf]

My statement wasn't in a specific situation, it was a general statement

[deft sentinel]

any joker in balatro, can be really good or really bad

dependin of the situation

[brittle temple]

baron is only good if you deckfix to hell for him and you want a highscore run

[deft sentinel]

and in that case is really good

[brittle temple]

yezzir

baron my GOAT

[eager lance]

baron isnt alwayss a bad joker

[brittle temple]

who cares if i have to carry a bum for 8 antes

[pale wolf]

if the goal is to win the game, Baron is a bad Joker

[deft sentinel]

u must be really dumb if u lose a white stake game tbh

[deft sentinel]

baron is surely a joker created thinkin in post game in mind

[brittle temple]

i've won 3.141 games since i made my nickname

i need to bake a pie

[pale wolf]

none of the jokers were, not even idol
its a bit of a design fail

[deft sentinel]

"if the fish cant climb a tree, then fish are uselss"

no dude, fishes arent made for trees

they are made for water

[brittle temple]

just do a darwin and evolve

[pale wolf]

The difference is that this channel is in the parking lot of a national forest, not a beach

🦓

[brittle temple]

i mean its kinda a beach

alot of people do endless runs here

[eager lance]

it can be good during ante 6-8 if u play like u might get it

[pale wolf]

In order to get through the beach you need to Trek through the forest

[deft sentinel]

80% of the people know balatro for the post game runs

[brittle temple]

tru

[deft sentinel]

so im pretty sure people came for that

[brittle temple]

it can be good after you bassically won already?

[pale wolf]

I don't think most of the player base that actively plays does exclusively endless

considering the game wasn't designed for it and as much more fun in the first 8 antes

[deft sentinel]

u are jokin right?

[eager lance]

no? not always

[pale wolf]

also considering that endless is going to be gutted next update

thank goodness

[brittle temple]

me when people have fun in a way i dont like

[pale wolf]

yea i hate endless meta being inserted into discussion of the designed fun part of the game

[deft sentinel]

but it is a mode of the game

obviously people are gonna talk about it

[eager lance]

who said that lol

[pale wolf]

It's fine to talk about it, but I don't like being told that Baron is not a bad Joker because of an extra bonus mode added on after

It's unequivocally terrible

[brittle temple]

serpant giving you more cards than your handsize is getting fixed

[deft sentinel]

it is not a extra bonus mode

[pale wolf]

That, and also Chico/ bean bug are getting fixed

[brittle temple]

so naneinfs will be bassically impossible outside of perkeo and some niche strats which are harder to pull off

[deft sentinel]

there is a achievement of the game that use the endless mode

[pale wolf]

there's a singular unlock for petroglyph

[deft sentinel]

so it is not a extra mode

[pale wolf]

besides that there is never any reason to go to endless besides for shits and giggles

[brittle temple]

lowk how many times have you argued about baron

[deft sentinel]

because is a game, and game should be fun?

[eager lance]

well that only really effects naneinf runs and most players who do endless arent trying to go for that so its fine

[pale wolf]

That's like saying challenge decks aren't an extra mode just because there is 2 achievements

[brittle temple]

just ignore people who say he's good atp

[deft sentinel]

ye, they are not extra modes

[pale wolf]

This is the part where I laugh at you and ignore you

[brittle temple]

shits and giggles is the reason to play games tho

[pale wolf]

🤙

[spark kernel]

Fucking game didnt give me a pair until i was on my last 2 hands

[deft sentinel]

just like azriel said once:

"me when people have fun in a way i dont like"

[eager lance]

i continue all my runs into endless

[deft sentinel]

like ye, me too

why would i just stop a run im havin fun with?

[eager lance]

exactly

[deft sentinel]

thats why endless exist

[pale wolf]

You're acting like I'm telling you to not play endless

[deft sentinel]

ye u are

[pale wolf]

when I'm actually telling you to not consider endless mode when considering Joker strength

[eager lance]

lol

[pale wolf]

because it is irrelevant

[eager lance]

we know

[pale wolf]

You sure fooled me

[deft sentinel]

it seems like u were treated like a joker

[brittle temple]

okay dude

[pale wolf]

normal card appeared

[eager lance]

lmao

[deft sentinel]

normal card and it is a card with a red stempel

[eager lance]

is plasma deck getting changed next update

[pale wolf]

I don't tend to take plain red seals unless it's on a particularly relevant rank for me

[deft sentinel]

surely the most larper balatro player of the chat

[pale wolf]

unlikely

[eager lance]

hopefully it does cuz its a very badly designed deck for first 8 antes

[brittle temple]

what do you think it needs changed

[deft sentinel]

To be honest, I don't want an update; I think the game is perfect just the way it is.

[pale wolf]

I don't think so, it just has a different play style that is less consistent

[brittle temple]

wdym

i like chipmaxxing

[eager lance]

its too easy on white stake cuz u just brute force with chips but on higher stakes ur forced to switch to xmult during later antes which is the problem with the deck

[pale wolf]

I'm also counting on there being a few more chip Jokers next update so perhaps plasma will get easier

[pale wolf]

also bigger hands are going to be more viable which should help plasma too

[deft sentinel]

I think what he's getting at is that Plasm Deck feels completely random and unpredictable in the early games

[eager lance]

idk about that llol

[eager lance]

nah

[eager lance]

^

[brittle temple]

ectow....

[deft sentinel]

At least that's how it was for me—the whole game plays out in a certain way until, in Plasma Deck, it basically breaks away from the basic structure.

[terse vale]

eh

its fine I think

just not my cup of tea

[brittle temple]

theres a reason there are like 18 decks

if you dont like one theres 17 left

[terse vale]

15

[brittle temple]

i said "like" for a reason

[eager lance]

yeah thats the problem

[terse vale]

well yea im correcting you

[deft sentinel]

and 2 of them are garbage, so there is plenty to play around even so

[pale wolf]

nebula and erratic ofc

[eager lance]

its funny cuz im my current run is on plasma deck lol

for naneinf

[deft sentinel]

do u have like a good opinion ever?

[terse vale]

I like the idea behind erratic but in practice it feels underwhelming

[brittle temple]

get it while you can

[eager lance]

are bad?

[terse vale]

this is true tho

nebula sucks

and erratic is overhyped

[brittle temple]

(you probably have half a year before serpant gets gutted)

[eager lance]

-1 consumable slot is such a dumb idea

[pale wolf]

half joking about erratic but nebula is anti fun

I was joking because I assume they are talking about plasma and black

[eager lance]

yeah since nebula is supposed to be the "planet deck" it doesnt make sense to have 1 consumable slot

[wicked sequoia]

Build complete right before dying

[eager lance]

cuz you get less planets from blue seals

with less slots

[pale wolf]

yeah it's silly that it puts you halfway towards a voucher That gets neutered by the downside of the deck

You often have fewer planet levels rather than more

[eager lance]

lol

[eager lance]

yep

wait why am i saying this

i havent even played the deck

lmao

its too despicable to even try

[pale wolf]

i have 8 wins on it

one for each stake

[eager lance]

thats funny

[wicked sequoia]

I dont think I've ever seen anyone play nebula for leisure
