[knotty zodiac]

consider taking a break

[pale wolf]

im sure theres situations where like, you're holding KQ999322 and you have a remaining deck thats 50% Kings and 50% stones lol

[vale ivy]

every single fucking time. i JUST got a triboulet run and RIGHT AT ANTE 7 I GET THE PLANT

[ebon condor]

theres def a point when there are few enough remaining cards in your deck that holding 1 is better than discarding 5

so i do wonder at what point that occurs

[pale wolf]

somebody that actually knows what they're talking about would have to answer that 🦓

[ebon condor]

real and true

sighhh has anyone done a massive simulation for a1 drawing strategy yet i need this in my life

[knotty zodiac]

prolly complicated by whether 4oak wins or not

[lime remnant]

they gave me several warnings....they wanted me to pivot...i didnt listen

bro im going to lose to white stake

[pale wolf]

a1 drawing strategy is pretty solved i think

its the easiest part of a run to learn bc its always the first few minutes of the doc vid

[subtle solar]

Hey uh can someone help me, i was playing balatro (ios) and i beat red deck on gold stake but it didnt say i did when i left the round nothing saves anymore, same happened when i unlocked gold ticket

[ebon condor]

thats true tbf

(guy who doesnt watch doc)\

maybe i should i need to get actually good at this video game

[pale wolf]

I say solved but I really mean practically, not mathematically

[subtle solar]

Help mee

[ebon condor]

you gain a practiced intuition fo sho

[pale wolf]

it has been less than a minute

[knotty zodiac]

im surprised no draw sim exists yet

[pale wolf]

chill

[subtle solar]

Help :2

[pale wolf]

Mobile balatro sometimes has issues like these, it just missed something and didnt register

[subtle solar]

Cant i fix it?

Would reinstalling work?

[pale wolf]

You could do it again 😇

[subtle solar]

I beat it twice

[pale wolf]

no it's not like the progress is there but stuck somewhere, it just didn't register the progress at all

[ebon condor]

the internet would serve you better than this chat

i dont think most of us how to solve tech issues like this

[knotty zodiac]

ive heard it's related to a connectivity issue

[lime remnant]

embarrassing

[subtle solar]

Oh well i play it on the train without signal mostly

[knotty zodiac]

like if your internet is unstable, it tries to write once or a few times but then gives up

[rustic haven]

and again. k.

[knotty zodiac]

maybe try airplane mode while playing the last hand of the game if you have spotty internet

[zinc sigil]

Free win

[modest snow]

why does balatro care about your internet connection when playing and saving data? why doesnt it just save the data locally?

[rustic haven]

and how so?

[zinc sigil]

Photochud

[modest snow]

how

they dont have the money for the photo

[knotty zodiac]

no clue about how the app is designed but maybe the cloud version always overwrites local if there's an unknown conflict

[zinc sigil]

Lol

Only chud no photo

Chud just like me..

[modest snow]

that would be a terrible design imo

i feel like you should trust the local data more than the cloud

[zinc sigil]

So people dont cheat achievements for gamecenter

Its prob a given for games that have gamecenter connectivity

[modest snow]

oh no achievements on a single player game

[zinc sigil]

No one cares

[modest snow]

exactly

[zinc sigil]

But its prob the way apple wants it

[rustic haven]

from judgement

[modest snow]

pretty sure its the same issue on android too

[rustic haven]

😭😭

chip demon

[lost vault]

hello balatro

[rustic haven]

do i drop scary?

havent seen goad havent seen plant

so

[rustic haven]

[lost vault]

still posting runs outside of run discussion

whys that channel even there

[rustic haven]

decoration

[knotty zodiac]

i have some crazy runs with straights that are barely hanging on. no blue seals, little econ, barely any planets. very little fixing happens..

late needle will get me there xD

[frank grove]

yeah sometimes runs are like that 😭 needle is just annoying to plan around in general

[knotty zodiac]

ya esp a rude awakening on blue deck

[lime remnant]

oh the greed

lol

rough gem is finally here

c+ before c is pretty crazy

[pale wolf]

It's probably just the standard cloud saving implementation

[heavy heron]

i’m rock hard

[pale wolf]

on playstack's end

[pale wolf]

offloading when run discussions interrupts game discussion

[heavy heron]

gay stoner

[pale wolf]

it has lessened the load on here a bit

[pale wolf]

and not even a marble

[heavy heron]

how do you know

maybe there is a marble

and i just have 1000 deja vus

from perkeo

and seance

[lime remnant]

forgot the sixes

[heavy heron]

..yea or that

he’s right no marble

he caught me

just a stinky hallucination and DNA

and that one irrelevant joker in the middle

(or two)

[lime remnant]

so humble of you for selling marble and spectral gen

so 🦓 can be happy

[heavy heron]

yeah i had to pivot

[lime remnant]

so humble

[heavy heron]

just for 🦓

[pale wolf]

marble isnt real

#150 joker

the woat

[frank grove]

ok strush time

[pale wolf]

i briefly considered a perkeo deja vu

but you'd still need to be impossibly lucky on the auras

[heavy heron]

i used one aura

got poly

i was like ok death target

DNA target

hallucination target

arcana target

target target target

next thing you know? ROCK hard

this was the start btw

why didn’t i go pairs? good question

i wish i had an answer

[echo sphinx]

winning every game with pair feels ass

[heavy heron]

thank you

that’s why i went gay rocks instead

that’s 57x + 500 chips

red seal rocks don’t play around

[lime remnant]

any reason to not go pairs is appreciated

[heavy heron]

i’m so glad ppl are finally catching onto this

but then again play the game how you want

just not straights

[weak relic]

Balala

[heavy heron]

i think i have the most respect for straight players [im an ally i promise]

[lime remnant]

its mostly defaulted to pairs but pivoting is fun and engaging

[heavy heron]

i’ve always been a flusher, personally… it’s hygienic after all

[lime remnant]

i think you are the reason why some area dont have clean water

you and other flushers

waste of water

💔

[heavy heron]

sorry…..

i’ve been flushing less if that helps

[lime remnant]

dont be sorry

[heavy heron]

i’ve been going rock hard instead

[lime remnant]

be better

[heavy heron]

i try

[lime remnant]

no flush

[heavy heron]

i just think i’m a novice at that

[lime remnant]

om

lets hold hand

[long zodiac]

Alright, I'm currently on a three of a kind build rn, what do i give up for a holo trio?

[sharp junco]

you dont need 2 flat mult jokers

[rugged stirrup]

huh

[sharp junco]

swash can go considering it's not gonna scale while fortuneteller will

[lime remnant]

kill swash

[heavy heron]

rock hard

[compact niche]

Finally beat black deck gold stake, and with all level 1 hands and in debt lol

[heavy heron]

in fact, gay + rock hard

[rugged stirrup]

ahhhh i see

[sharp junco]

give this man a Medal of Honor

[compact niche]

Oh, and only 5 jokers too lmao

[nova junco]

I hate verdant leaf

I hate verdant leaf

I hate verdant leaf

I wasn't able to gold sticker castle because of it

[pale wolf]

is it for real or is it for fake

[lime remnant]

verdant leaf = no sticker greed

[nova junco]

Yeah I had to sell it because all my jokers that had gold were eternal

[pale wolf]

i feel like usually i dont have to sell anything on leaf

[nova junco]

Most of my scoring was from 4oak levels and steel

[pale wolf]

steel rip

[nova junco]

I've been trying to rely more on enhancements so that I have space for useless jokers to gold sticker them

[pale wolf]

a fifth of the time, that forces you to sell a joker

🦓

slightly less considering vouchers

[rustic haven]

fun run

[nova junco]

But if all my scoring was from jokers then I wouldn't have space for the perishable credit card

That I still haven't stickered

[lime remnant]

try more joker slots?

ectos ghost working pretty well for me

[nova junco]

Also I've done runs where I stickered 4 jokers at once and exactly 0 of them were scoring anything

The score coming from glass and chad

[pale wolf]

credit card's a common at least

i find dragging useless Jokers to victory with the same few jokers over and over to be a kinda boring c++

[lime remnant]

uncommon are cancer to sticker

[pale wolf]

simply do 60 photochad runs and get c++ amirite

[lime remnant]

its either that or ante 1 idol and desperately attempts to make it work 💔

[pale wolf]

so far in my 2nd c++ ive repeated red card twice and 8ball once

idol

[lime remnant]

is 8b a pairslop joker

[pale wolf]

8ball is a value generator

🦓

[lime remnant]

can it work with pairslop

[pale wolf]

yea

[lime remnant]

once in a month

[pale wolf]

if you can play 8s you can play 8ball

[lime remnant]

8b is too underrated i gotta use it more

[pale wolf]

its self actualizing

[pale wolf]

its why i have 14 8s here

wait thats 9s

[lime remnant]

its funny how everytime there is camp its always a one shot

its just that great

[pale wolf]

campfire came thru at the end of that run too

not that i needed it

[heavy heron]

i’m sad you got idol sticker without actually using idol

[pale wolf]

i couldve if i used discard

but like, it wouldnt have actually contributed meaningfully

[frank grove]

🔥

[lime remnant]

be happy

[heavy heron]

ayyyyyyy

happier

[frank grove]

i love stupid strush runs 🔥

[pale wolf]

i was thinking of this run

[lime remnant]

9ball

[pale wolf]

stumpman

[safe moat]

How risky would it be to fish for another sticker in place of maybe baseball card?

Or maybe a few items?

[thick ivy]

Should I sell yyodrick at X2?

For sock

[safe moat]

Yeah

[thick ivy]

It's sad but it's the best move

Thanks!

[safe moat]

Nice four new stickers

[thick ivy]

Should I take DNA? I would like to strengthen the red seal nine

And try to go glass

[thick ivy]

PEAK

[safe moat]

Yeah I’d take it

[thick ivy]

For sock right? Thanksss

[safe moat]

Yeah

[hearty tusk]

So basically no ones uses #🕹・run-discussion cuz, what the fuck

[crisp perch]

Didn’t even no that existed

[hearty tusk]

Please tell me youre being sarcastic

[terse vale]

I don’t see why it needed 2 be added

people were discussing runs here and getting help anyways

most of the time

now they only get help like 50% of the time

[crisp perch]

This was so close genuinely needed any other boss blind 💔

[hearty tusk]

And get shit on the other 50%

[crisp perch]

Tried selling blueprint n it wasn’t enough 😔

[pale wolf]

the level of help has not changed since the addition of run discussion

[turbid nova]

Yoo Finn

[terse vale]

do the good players even go there :?

[hearty tusk]

There are no good players

[pale wolf]

i think people click it, yea

[hearty tusk]

Only gamblers

[turbid nova]

I just beat my first ever black deck gold stake

[hearty tusk]

And gamblers

[pale wolf]

i see lilo and rt answer questions in there

[turbid nova]

What’s the difference

[hearty tusk]

Gamblers gamble

[safe moat]

Yoo

[safe moat]

Wdym

[turbid nova]

Guess the build

[hearty tusk]

I NEVER LARPWD DONT CALL ME LARPER AAAAA

[turbid nova]

Based on the most played hand

[pale wolf]

😬 nvm on the rt thing haha

[crisp perch]

4oak clearly

[terse vale]

ohhhh ok

[hearty tusk]

Wait hold on

[cosmic sun]

If you think about it then calling Balatro a gambling game is this community's biggest larp

[pale wolf]

theres just as much advice given to those who ask, #🕹・run-discussion just is a less busy chat

[turbid nova]

Burglar was on the roster in my last four black deck wins while building up to gold stake

[hearty tusk]

Its not really a gambling gam ngl

[pale wolf]

100%

[hearty tusk]

Poker in itself isnt gambling

[turbid nova]

It almost feels mandatory to have in black deck at this point

[pale wolf]

balatro promotes anti gambling mindset for winrate consistency

[turbid nova]

And btw look at my hands and discards

[pale wolf]

poker is gambling but its mindgame gambling

[safe moat]

Yeah

[ebon condor]

it just has gambling aesthetics on the surface

[turbid nova]

I took hieroglyph and petroglyph lol

[ebon condor]

which means that larpers believe that is the nature of the game

therefore the claim is accurate

[turbid nova]

Well in this case petroglyph had no downside

[safe moat]

It feels likes there’s less veterans

[pale wolf]

its only gambling so much as any game with a deck of cards is gambling

[hearty tusk]

The only gamble part of the game is misprint

-# /j

[safe moat]

Solitaire

[turbid nova]

And playing a straight build

[hearty tusk]

I mean uuuuh

[ebon condor]

not really? more like its only gambling as much as any roguelike is gambling

[turbid nova]

Klondike solitaire is not always winnable

[hearty tusk]

Maube?

[safe moat]

Exactly

[ebon condor]

any roguelike that doesnt have a technical skill based element, that is

[pale wolf]

its been quite a long time since the game came out and as much as i love it, balatro realistically has like 200h of content unless you get obsessed with it

[hearty tusk]

Roguelike isnt gambling tho (well, at least to a degree)

[cosmic sun]

I guess people just assume all roguelikes having randomness = gambling

Which is frankly insulting to many fandoms

[safe moat]

You’re saying it needs more mechanics?

[ebon condor]

exactly, neither is balatro

[pale wolf]

no, not at all

[hearty tusk]

Yes?

What? You thought I actually think balatro is gambling?

[safe moat]

I think it could use a few

[hearty tusk]

Nah

Maybe?

[cosmic sun]

I didn't personally but the gambling statement itself is def a huge larp

[hearty tusk]

What do you suggest

[pale wolf]

i don't think balatro is in need of new mechanics unless they're the gimmicks of new decks/jokers

[tranquil cedar]

I could do the funniest thing

[hearty tusk]

And i said before that good players dont exist, is that true too?

[safe moat]

I think it could use better spectrals though

[hearty tusk]

Of course not. Am joking

[ebon condor]

new mechanics wouldnt give the game more replayability unless they add something like

[cosmic sun]

I just mean not targeting you but the statement

[hearty tusk]

Right sorry for assuminh

[tranquil cedar]

you must be some kind of... joker...

[hearty tusk]

Balala

[ebon condor]

that expands the content of the game by existing (like a sandbox mode or sm)

[bleak blaze]

First run on the new GS save and my cavendish breaks

I love this game

[safe moat]

Some jokers are loosely fit

[hearty tusk]

That actually sounds brilliant

But how would it work, tho

[ebon condor]

its not my original idea lol its been suggested many a time

[hearty tusk]

It sounds brilliant nevertheless

[pale wolf]

custom scenario/challenge deck mode is one of the first and most obvious suggestions for big game additions

but i dont see it happening in vanilla

[hearty tusk]

Btw do we have any idea about when's the next update?

[pale wolf]

within the next 60 years

[hearty tusk]

Fuck

[ebon condor]

i could see it happening but prob not in 1.1

[pale wolf]

i dont see it happening with thunk as the sole dev

[hearty tusk]

Darn you thunk

Wait a minute does thunk do everything? I know he got the music from fiverr or whatevs and some joker art isnt by him like Vagabond, but does he do everything else by himself?

[safe moat]

More vouchers

[hearty tusk]

Hold on lemme check faq again

[ebon condor]

i could see it MAYBE but im sure adding new stuff is a higher priority

[pale wolf]

The credits are right there in the options

[ebon condor]

oh damn i didnt know this was a thing lol

the merch is done by playstack too i believe i dont think thunk has much input on that

beyond agreeing to the idea ofc

[safe moat]

Maybe a different mode

[pale wolf]

A lot (all?) of the sound effects are just free/licensed sound library options

[safe moat]

OOH THAT

[pale wolf]

I know that Jimbo is voiced by thunk himself

[safe moat]

no omg a different way to play the game entirely

[hearty tusk]

So I was right

Well to a degree

[pale wolf]

thunk had a visual design background

[ebon condor]

not remotely surprising

[hearty tusk]

Explains a lot

[frank grove]

and well thunk didnt do the ports to console and mobile right?

[pale wolf]

I believe the first art made for the game was the set of tarot cards

[ebon condor]

almost certainly not

[pale wolf]

pretty sure all the porting was done by playstack but I'm sure thunk was involved too

[hearty tusk]

Didnt playstack do that?

[ebon condor]

he also didnt do the localization

[frank grove]

yeah that makes sense

[pale wolf]

The localization is uhhhhh

in "beta"

I'm thinking that at the time he started it Balatro was more of a community project Rather than a product

[safe moat]

If we were to add more jokers hypothetically would that mean the shop stock would need to be buffed to support the variety of jokers?

[pale wolf]

nowadays he couldn't have a volunteer localization team because that's free labor

[ebon condor]

no

[calm cipher]

just found a "quintuple" tribulet seed omg omg omg

[hearty tusk]

Wasnt it that he thought it wouldnt be any succeful

[safe moat]

Or would they work together so well that the jokers in the shop wouldn’t matter

[pale wolf]

pretty sure it's just not the proper avenue to add translations to the game

especially considering he is mad rich now

[idle kernel]

Perkeo

[ebon condor]

as long as the balance of what the jokers do remains consistent (not adding like, for example, an inordinate amount of support jokers), that shouldnt be necessary

[frank grove]

also community translations have problems all the time (cough cough minecraft)

[pale wolf]

cough cough balatro

[ebon condor]

didnt silksong have really major translation issues on release

idk what they did for that but i remember that being a thing

[pale wolf]

@cloud sinew what was the issue for some specific Joker in Japanese again?

maybe I should have asked andy

[tranquil cedar]

worth instead of stencil?

[ebon condor]

uh

what is going on here

[pale wolf]

almost certainly not

[ebon condor]

what is everything at

[tranquil cedar]

like

6/34

it's ankh bus so

[ebon condor]

groker at 6 and bus at 34?

[tranquil cedar]

yea

just picked him up last ante

or something idk

[pale wolf]

I'd probably get rid of green and eventually one of the buses

[ebon condor]

selling groker should be more scoring i believe

for the stencil

[tranquil cedar]

sure

[ebon condor]

what are your hands at?

[frank grove]

yeah you dont need 3 +mult scalers here 😭

[pale wolf]

the foil is aight

[ebon condor]

bc nova might be worth for the chips

if its high enough

[frank grove]

yeah could be worth swapping green with nova just for the chips honestly

[pale wolf]

also worth saying that you are very broke

[ebon condor]

i was thinking one of the busses tbh

[pale wolf]

how about just having money

[ebon condor]

this is true

[terse vale]

the mult is not that good lad

[tranquil cedar]

yea I've been holding on for dear life for the past few games

i suck lmao

[tranquil cedar]

fully optimized like around 20k two pair

[tranquil cedar]

yea

[tranquil cedar]

shit too late

[minor valve]

[clear mulch]

that three incident

[serene forge]

silksong got review bombed because the chinese translation was so bad

[pale wolf]

More like 1 in 32 chance of not having a single tarot = The entirety of 8 ball experience
but 1 in 32 chance of fuckin** dying a bloodless death is so small a chance it's ignorable

[pale wolf]

which is pretty dumb on the devs part

[hearty tusk]

I was there when the Afrikaans minecraft thing happened...

[pale wolf]

potentially the largest market for the game and you mess that up

[clear mulch]

for the love of god i cant finish golden stake on plasma

[hearty tusk]

Is this some cryptic secret cult thing on this server what the hell does 4oak mean

[clear mulch]

why is my name colorless

[tranquil cedar]

aight

[nova junco]

4 Of A Kind

[ebon condor]

doesnt half and half usually refer to like half cream half milk

[shy tangle]

Milk + Lemonade = that one frozen lemonade/IceDream drink they had at Chick-fil-A once probably

[ebon condor]

for like coffee?

[pale wolf]

actually I feel like this one is pretty easy to work through yourself

[tranquil cedar]

yes we're all in a cult

[iron mountain]

No it really isnt..

I drink neither tea nor coffee

[pale wolf]

i could repost the image

because it's pretty self-explanatory

[hearty tusk]

Joker cultists

[ebon condor]

[clear mulch]

[serene forge]

keep in mind team cherry is 3 people

[clear mulch]

[pale wolf]

who the heck did they find to be the localization team if they're not even fluent in Chinese tho

[pale wolf]

is three people with a hell of a lot of money to hire people lol

[serene forge]

i mean yeah

[clear mulch]

whats the first two jokers that come to mind when you think of balatro 🤔

[pale wolf]

Jimbo and obelisk

and for some reason painted deck

[clear mulch]

tbh i dont know the second one

[pale wolf]

you don't know it???

[clear mulch]

i just think of jimbo and then all the other flash before my eyes

[nova junco]

My beloved oops

[clear mulch]

new animation meme

trust

[nova junco]

That one average joker

[clear mulch]

i dont see animation memes anymore

[nova junco]

Like some guy overlayed every single joker in the game and took the average color in each pixel

[clear mulch]

i only remember the ones from 2019 and 2020

[gloomy valley]

just drunkyard give me 1 more discard every round i play?

[clear mulch]

no, just 1 until its removed

[nova junco]

you can normally discard 3 times every round, with drunkard it becomes 4 times every round

[gloomy valley]

ok why not say gives 1 plus discard

[clear mulch]

that joker has unorthodox wording

atleast for me

[tranquil cedar]

im in DIRE need of mult, wyd in this situation 🥹

[clear mulch]

idk sell 1 bus mayub

[tranquil cedar]

hold on let me math that out

i get more from two buses rn

[tranquil cedar]

[slow iris]

i am pointing towards it rn btw

[tranquil cedar]

it's that one

guys do NOT press the win key

[tranquil cedar]

what the hell the cards are different

how does this happen

[naive frigate]

Okay

[sand nebula]

this is the 8 millionth time ive learned not to try four of a kind unless i get deck building early on

im sure i will learn this lesson again

[tranquil cedar]

WHAT THE HELL MAN I CANT USE IT 🥹💔

[gloomy valley]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[naive frigate]

Nah 4oak slop is PEAK

[cosmic sun]

At that point do 3oak

[gloomy valley]

such a good run but look imma just accept lost

[sand nebula]

ok i just got dna as first joker

its 4oak slop time

[clear mulch]

try harder

duuh!!

[gloomy valley]

who wann a help me as i play i only got 1 win so far on blue deck

[sand nebula]

oh but i also got hanging chad so maybe high card slop

[tranquil cedar]

i softlocked

guys NEVER press the win key PLEASE

[brave goblet]

what happened

[tranquil cedar]

this was a really great run too man what the hell

[tranquil cedar]

I skipped the pack and closed the game

shop is gone

[brave goblet]

bruh

insanity

[gloomy valley]

question

how does the chip system work when you skip a blind\

like thce chips they give

[patent sail]

Tags?

[modest snow]

what

[patent sail]

Reading the tag explains the tag

Read the descriptions and youll see what they do

Also like 90% of the time skip tags arent worth it

[brave goblet]

It's the remaining 10% that are interesting

[gloomy valley]

where i find this i cant find the channel for it

[simple escarp]

Is the free rare worth it ?

[brave goblet]

what are you talking about exactly

[tranquil cedar]

after ante 1 personally I'm not getting any tags unless I'm desperate

[brave goblet]

Not really no

[tranquil cedar]

ante 1 if you like to gamble but generally speaking, no

[patent sail]

Hear me out

Negative tags are horrible

HOWEVER

[brave goblet]

free perishable rental invisible

[tranquil cedar]

free negatives are always fun if you have enough scoring to tank a skip

[patent sail]

Absolutely

[brave goblet]

all perishable rentals

[simple escarp]

Idk, its among the tags i usually take in the beginning, the others being the initial free stuff and 25$ after boss blind

[brave goblet]

[patent sail]

Stickering 🐎🔥

Also just
Funny

[tranquil cedar]

I always take investment ante 1

[brave goblet]

d6 is kinda cool occasionally cause you actually save a ton of money

[tranquil cedar]

I don't think I ever took d6 outside of unlocking it lmao

[patent sail]

Ante 1 coupon tag lowk

[brave goblet]

yeah you don't really need it most of the time lol

the hands played money tag is also nice purely for scaling bull

[heavy heron]

d6 tag is fire

5 rerolls cost $10 compared to the normal $35

[patent sail]

Or ante 2 top-up when i didnt get shit

[tranquil cedar]

x2 money could be great if you're set and have a few bands

[heavy heron]

$10*

[brave goblet]

sometimes a bunch of double tags charm tag works wonders

[patent sail]

Like if i didnt get anything good ante 1 im dead ante 2, might as well gamble it

[tranquil cedar]

never realized it saves that much

makes sense tbh

but anaglyph is where stuff gets funny

[hearty tusk]

Since this chat is used for everything, then let me ask; whats your favourite vanilla-like mod?

[patent sail]

Oh yeah i did that on anaglyph once when i was desperate for a bunch of deckfixing asap

[sharp junco]

i never ever actually skip unless its gold stake ante 1 small blind investment tag or a negative tag on ante 6+ anaglyph

[clear mulch]

ice cream

🤤 vanilla

[patent sail]

+100 chips

[sharp junco]

not the entire mod but the misprint deck from cryptid when you disable all modded additions is funny

randomizes every value so photo can give x0 mult or x11

[tranquil cedar]

+95 chips 😔

[patent sail]

+90chips 🐎

[tranquil cedar]

+70 chips (sorry i was hungry)

[hearty tusk]

I tried cryptid once on PC. I get why some people dont like it..

[rustic haven]

judgement gaming

[patent sail]

Eaten!

[patent sail]

Here, win

[tranquil cedar]

inflation these days smh

[rustic haven]

lmao

if i survive these early anyes

abtes

[sharp junco]

yeah but luckily theres a way to disable jokers / features so you can play a modded deck with the rest being 100% vanilla

[rustic haven]

yep

[tranquil cedar]

omfg i didn't realize it was gay im so blind

[hearty tusk]

Holy shit really?

I gotta check that out once I get a pc back

[sharp junco]

yes which is why i love misprint deck because a Lusty Joker can naneinf

[patent sail]

Best balatro mod is the one that isnt cryptid

[hearty tusk]

Hopefully i dont create a particle accelerator again🙏

I did the oillamp thing last time

[sharp junco]

Larptid

[hearty tusk]

15 oil lamps miiiiight have been a liiiiittle overkill..

[rustic haven]

chat

[sharp junco]

i know nothing about cryptid because i have never actually seen it's jokers i just disable them all

[patent sail]

I tried cryptid once and got bored in like 1 hour

[rustic haven]

2pair or full house

[rustic haven]

oil lamp with cocktail is so overkill

[sharp junco]

all the econ and score in the world yet my own soul's blind is undefeated

[hearty tusk]

Just look up oillamp joker on cryptid, its funny as shit

[trail pier]

riffraff are you taking the piss

[patent sail]

Its way too easy

[hearty tusk]

15 oillamps and one jimbo is already insane

[rustic haven]

😭

[sharp junco]

well yeah but you can modify everything to make it more difficult

[rustic haven]

chat 2pair or full house

[sharp junco]

theres like 20 extra stakes too where you cant even beat the ante 1 small blind

[hearty tusk]

Naneinf with that bitch

[hearty tusk]

Dull house

Dull

[rustic haven]

[gloomy valley]

nines

[hearty tusk]

There are like... 4 or 3 HANL albums

[patent sail]

This chat has like 25%chance at actually being about balatro at any given moment

[sharp junco]

yeah but their top 10 most streamed songs are all from deathconsciousness

[hearty tusk]

And rightfully so

[sharp junco]

so it's kind of the poser album but still it's good

was in production for 5 years

[hearty tusk]

Its very incredible

[sharp junco]

and i dont know if that means they were lazy or they took their sweet time

[hearty tusk]

Theyre two people and one of them is actually an english teacher

[sharp junco]

do you have a physical copy?

the prison letter is cool

[lapis blade]

Why

[hearty tusk]

Unfortunately not. Planning on getting it tho🤞

[sharp junco]

[pale wolf]

conversation→channel

[hearty tusk]

Green bullshit

[sharp junco]

#conversationchannel

[hearty tusk]

Horse bullshit

[sharp junco]

GREEN???

Green joker

guys back to topic

Green joker is BAD!

[patent sail]

Green joker is awssome

[hearty tusk]

Asssome

[pale wolf]

in what metric

[sharp junco]

i would rather spam lucky cards than scale my green joker because discarding is part of my personality

[sharp junco]

Imperial

i didnt mean to add the egg

[patent sail]

Campfire is bad because its a serious fire hazard around all those cards and is an OSHA violation

[sharp junco]

the more you earn the more your power is... Balatro.. such a politically motivated game

[patent sail]

You can make jokers and cards GAY and perform HRT on your jacks and queens..... wokelatro

[drowsy torrent]

yeah

[rustic haven]

ok cool

i enjoy this

[sharp junco]

Seeing double is will be debuffed with a glass card in the next update due to glasses helping you see clearly

[pale wolf]

hey i just had a silly idea for a joker

[sharp junco]

one dollar ($1)

[rustic haven]

its ok i like being broke

[patent sail]

Jokers before: mmmm mult
Jokers now: this joke gets funnier when they repeat it for the 3rd time

[sharp junco]

campfire and vagabond is undelectable

[drowsy torrent]

hey chip says go out and vote

chip says vote 4 times its okay

[rustic haven]

wdym undelect

[patent sail]

Take that jimbo

[sharp junco]

[rustic haven]

#⚙・modding-general

[rustic haven]

it works bc i go to 0

[sharp junco]

guh

[rustic haven]

ik how to be broke

cuz i am irl

so

[sharp junco]

credit card synergy

[frank grove]

also you shouldnt really need to scale campfire in the round too much

[rustic haven]

i mean i have bp vagabond

might as well sell to $4

[frank grove]

yeah

but past then you dont

[sharp junco]

campfire does not fire off my brain neurons because everytime it resets i destroy my personal computer with an industrial tool and then my computer ceases to operate

[rustic haven]

almost like thats hiw

cmapfire works

[drowsy torrent]

[sharp junco]

Blackpill vagabond vagabond mogs looksmaxxing jimbojestermaxxing

[drowsy torrent]

i fear

[rustic haven]

ah hell nah

yo where the deck goin 😭

yk ur run is cooked when the deck tryna leave too

[pale wolf]

does dreamo use a lot of glitches or is it just highly optimized

[rustic haven]

how are they loading all of this

THEY HAGE SHADERS ON TOO

[frank grove]

iirc the start of this was an unseeded run and then he went back and optimized for this

[drowsy torrent]

I've got this one icky napkin that got hit by ecto early on and i cant replace it with another nice, clean, beautiful blueprint. shame of shames

[rustic haven]

baron needs to stop fucking staring at me

he already stalks me

get him tf out

[drowsy torrent]

[drowsy torrent]

[pale wolf]

the second time i clicked the link it went to a different message

[frank grove]

weird ?

[gloomy valley]

dont blame you done it before just reset run or sell the all face cards at that point

[thorny wigeon]

Do I have to win again to get C++ Achievment?

[frank grove]

sometimes you have to win a run on any non-challenge deck at any stake for achievements to register

[humble gulch]

That's quite the skip

Bro

[hearty tusk]

How funny is an eternal invis

[turbid nova]

Would be funny
