[serene forge]

no they're not

anaglyph wants econ/handy tags

[cloud sinew]

money or pack tags are usually more useful

[serene forge]

maybe orbital

[cloud sinew]

orbital on anaglyph is a good one too

[serene forge]

or pack tags if you have hologram or something

[devout wasp]

if it makes you feel any better, former world champion and most-hated-guy-in-chess vladimir kramnik once hung mate in 1 to a supercomputer with 30 minutes still on the clock

[cloud sinew]

joker tags get a lot worse at gold stake compared to white

[neon sonnet]

Yeah I definitely do it too much then... I'm still a bit of a noob to the game, I'm not as skilled as anyone else here (I literally only have white stake beaten on red deck and that's... my only win so far lol)

[devout wasp]

the moral: you can't spell vladimir kramnik without L

[cloud sinew]

a win is a win!

and everyone had to start somewhere

[graceful arrow]

Just reading this makes me mad and im not the one who did that shit

😭

[oak cloak]

Idk, I've used negative tags with anaglyph and it was quite helpful

[serene forge]

there's a lot to learn in this game, take it at your own pace

you're doing good

[neon sonnet]

Let me see if I can remember which cards I won my first run with, I think I have the screenshot somewhere

[graceful arrow]

Its ok youll be like these tryhards before you know it

[cloud sinew]

a few random negative jokers are usually not worth it over getting a bunch of money or getting a bunch of levels on a hand

[devout wasp]

yea by and large the only difference between a new player and a sweat is time and experience

i'd be surprised if anyone here is a megasupergenius, i've seen us all chat

[graceful arrow]

Youve never seen me around have you

[oak cloak]

maybe

[devout wasp]

i saw you say your chess rating

😛

[graceful arrow]

I’m a genius with 100 iq

[devout wasp]

damn, maxing out the scale

[graceful arrow]

On a good day

[devout wasp]

i stand corrected

[cloud sinew]

im very knowledgeable on the things i care about, which is most people, but it's also elevated by my autism. i have watched dozens of hours of educational dishwasher content for example

technology connections my beloved

[devout wasp]

big same (except the dishwasher part)

[humble gulch]

I'm average, I have 1,500 in lichess

🐊

[graceful arrow]

I lowk got 646 elo on chess.com aint even gonna lie

😭❤️‍🩹

[neon sonnet]

Ahh, here it is, I found it. Old screenshot, but proof of my first win.

[serene forge]

i got 1100 on chess.com then i tilted

then i stopped playing on chess.com

[neon sonnet]

I had a Misprint, Abstract, Baseball Card, Throwback, and Hologram.

[graceful arrow]

We’re ALL moving to lichess

[devout wasp]

although i guess since we just talked in off-topic you could probably guess the 'tism part

[serene forge]

people are so toxic on chess.com

[graceful arrow]

Plus lichess is genuinely so much better if you wanna learn too

[serene forge]

ye

[graceful arrow]

Deadass and the app is so ass and greedy anyways

Ask a mf on lichess to reset your move after hanging your queen and theyll accept

[cloud sinew]

mhm

[devout wasp]

cloct

[cloud sinew]

it's usually quite easy to tell; if i don't immediately hate talking to someone, theyre at the very least ND

[devout wasp]

if that ain't the realest shit i've ever read

[humble gulch]

Someone started being racist with me because I were mexican (I won), I just said lol

[cloud sinew]

[serene forge]

[terse dock]

gg ez

[devout wasp]

i aint never seen these jokers before

[clear mulch]

[neon sonnet]

This is not the Balatro I know

[serene forge]

i should start review bombing balatro until photograph is removed

[clear mulch]

lichess better btw

[terse dock]

balatro and slay the spire are the same game

[graceful arrow]

Di you know something we dont

[cloud sinew]

none of these words are in Balatro /j, hyperbole

[neon sonnet]

What the fuck

[serene forge]

mr bones is a block card

[devout wasp]

counterpoint: this isn't slay the spire

this is slay the spire 2

[serene forge]

unfortunately mr bones does not work if you have mark of the bloom

[terse dock]

balatro and slay the spire (the franchise) are the same games

[devout wasp]

dang it you got me

[serene forge]

does balatro have board game

[graceful arrow]

I think so

Wait no

[terse dock]

yeah its called a deck of cards

[graceful arrow]

I DONT think so

[serene forge]

thats a card game not a board game

[graceful arrow]

Final verdict i do not think so

[clear mulch]

yes, gambonanza

[neon sonnet]

YOU... ARE... A... FOOL

[devout wasp]

what is a card if not a small, thin board

[neon sonnet]

A COMPLETE JIMBO

[terse dock]

and what are cards made out of

[graceful arrow]

Is solitaire a board game?

[clear mulch]

plastic

[terse dock]

yes

[clear mulch]

or smth

[devout wasp]

i mean, you play it with 52 boards

[serene forge]

plastic?

[devout wasp]

so i guess so

[cloud sinew]

it's a card game, but can be a board game

[neon sonnet]

HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE CARD GAMES AND CONSIDER THEM BOARD GAMES

[terse dock]

yeah i was just asking

[neon sonnet]

THIS IS BLASPHEMY

[graceful arrow]

Okay understandable

[devout wasp]

why is it important that card games not be board games is my q

[clear mulch]

blasphemy? lucid blocks reference

[devout wasp]

if it's because of settlers of catan it's okay we don't have to include that one

[neon sonnet]

They... are TWO... very different things....

[clear mulch]

looks inside

[cloud sinew]

yaoi

[brave echo]

what is a blind?

[bold maple]

Is this a good hand?

[dim heron]

how did you get that in your hand

[bold maple]

Or joker lineup

[cloud sinew]

for the context of jokers, they're the things you "select" after a shop.
for understanding the game in general, they're effectively levels/rooms.

[brave echo]

oh yeah

[bold maple]

Whatever you call it lol

[brave echo]

so the card that adds 1 stone card to the deck each blind

thats really good then

[dim heron]

its pretty decent yeah

[viral raft]

Is the Joker from Setlzer the same joker from Baseball and Riff raff????

geniune question

[humble gulch]

That's a really good start

[humble gulch]

Imagine there being hidden lore about a convenience store

What if riff raff was another type of pack that only contains common jokers

[viral raft]

yeah, i found curious how the one from Seltzer is actually diferent from Baseball and Riff Raff

[cloud sinew]

adding cards to your deck isnt good unless you have a good reason to do so, as adding cards to your deck makes it harder to find any specific card harder.
stone cards are generally mid/bad, so marble joker (the joker you're referring to) is also usually pretty bad

[ionic jungle]

its like a brand

atleast thats what I think

[brave echo]

im on ante 6

so there wont be that many

and ill replace it if i find smth better

[viral raft]

Stone cards aren't bad imo, they're bad if you're add them without knowing what are you doing

+50 chips is pretty neat on low poker hands and in some situations

[brave echo]

misprint is so goated

[ionic jungle]

how many hours do you have on the game?

[brave echo]

just gamble

[humble gulch]

I love stone cards

[viral raft]

like 800

[humble gulch]

I'm a stoner

[ionic jungle]

crazy

[viral raft]

yeah

why?

[brave echo]

i have like 1 and a half

im very new

[ionic jungle]

same but I dont like stone cards

[humble gulch]

Just look at my favorite jokers :3

[ionic jungle]

just curious :p

[viral raft]

damn good luck starting with the game!

[viral raft]

oh ok

and how much do you have?

[brave echo]

bonus 6 card or mult 7 card

or 9 red chip

[fading dome]

fav in what way? design? gameplay?

[viral raft]

maybe to play around

[humble gulch]

All

[ionic jungle]

50, I recently got back into balatro and want to get c+

[humble gulch]

That too

[ionic jungle]

Ive played like 25 hours these past few days

[viral raft]

uhhhh that's neat

[viral raft]

peak

[ionic jungle]

im not that good

[humble gulch]

Chicot is so good

[viral raft]

do you want some tips or nah

[ionic jungle]

sure im struggling on gold stake

blue deck

[viral raft]

Boots? i always found boots annoying to play around tbh

[viral raft]

ohhh i see

[brave echo]

devil card or wheel of fortune?

[humble gulch]

I love bootstraps

[fading dome]

I see you're a big stone card fan lol

[viral raft]

devil if you want consistensy imo

[brave echo]

yes but

gamble

[knotty zodiac]

stone hardddd

[brave echo]

also i thought that tarot cards were temporary so i never took them

HOWEVER i now understand their power

[humble gulch]

Jokers that I completely despise

[brave echo]

what about planet cards?

[cloud sinew]

planet cards are quite useful

[brave echo]

what do they do

[humble gulch]

Because he's trash

[echo sphinx]

cant argue with that

[brave echo]

gamble didnt happen

[cloud sinew]

they increase the "base" score of that poker hand. every poker hand scales differently every level, which is part of what makes poker hands better or worse than each other

[fading dome]

Eyo what did onyx, ice cream and triboulet do to you

[brave echo]

oh thats very good

[humble gulch]

Because trib is also trash

[fading dome]

is he though

[humble gulch]

Worst legendary

[fading dome]

I don't think that makes him bad though

[humble gulch]

Yeah, it's not bad

But I hate him

Perkeo at least gives me econ

I saw you, Swiss

[fading dome]

I just don't like playing around perkeo

[humble gulch]

I'm not talking about you

Cloud 9

[scenic mortar]

Look at this

[brave echo]

whats yall's favourite deck?

[cloud sinew]

[brave echo]

[cloud sinew]

probably zodiac actually

[brave echo]

im trying out yellow cus i just unlocked it

[humble gulch]

Ghost

[brave echo]

i thought they were just colours

[humble gulch]

Second best deck

[scenic mortar]

Abandoned deck

[brave echo]

what am i missing 💔

[scenic mortar]

Im ragebaiting

[brave echo]

i guess ill find out all the decks as i go

[slow iris]

abandoned deck is good though

[humble gulch]

Free win

[scenic mortar]

Cavendish is gros michel but in tje other side

[brave echo]

no ik

can someone explain some of the more interesting decks to me?

[scenic mortar]

Look i get a purple with MB

[humble gulch]

Ghost starts with a hex and spectral cards can appear in the shop

[brave echo]

whats a hex

and what are spectral cards

[humble gulch]

Bro...

[scenic mortar]

The best cards

[humble gulch]

Tarots are better ngl

[brave echo]

sorry

[scenic mortar]

Its new dude, guide him

[brave echo]

im new to the game

[scenic mortar]

The best spectral is soul

I think

[brave echo]

so it upgrades cards?

[scenic mortar]

Yep

[brave echo]

ahh ok very good then

and whats a hex?

[warm wedge]

poly

[scenic mortar]

A good run:

[humble gulch]

Spectral cards are powerful consumables with unique effects

Some spectral cards have a drawback

[patent sail]

adds Polychrome to random joker, destroys the rest

its a spectral card

[brave echo]

ok

[brave echo]

that sounds good at the start

when you dont really have any jokers

[patent sail]

yup, with just one joker its a free poly

[scenic mortar]

Its the best spectral starter card

[brave echo]

whats the rainbow card?

[patent sail]

ankh

[brave echo]

yeah

[patent sail]

polychrome fibonacci

[scenic mortar]

Fibonacci

Have poly

[brave echo]

so what does that do?

[scenic mortar]

You know the fibonacci number?

[patent sail]

+8 mult on Ace, 2, 3, 5 and 8

[brave echo]

no

am i just dumb?

[scenic mortar]

Nah

[humble gulch]

Trance

[scenic mortar]

The numbers A, 2, 3, 5, and 8 gives you +8 mult

[scenic mortar]

Hmm

[brave echo]

ahh ok

that sounds good

[scenic mortar]

Youre right

[patent sail]

fibonacci numbers start at 1, and the next is previous 2 numbers added together (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on)

[scenic mortar]

I got a double trio

[brave echo]

|oh thats coool

what about the banana joker you have?

[patent sail]

so yeah that joker has a theme of that

[scenic mortar]

I loved this run

[tardy spade]

We need a joker dealing with primes. 2, 3, 5 and 7

[patent sail]

chips

fib but for chips

[tardy spade]

That would just make it odd todd essentially

[minor portal]

evil tod

[patent sail]

but fib is just steven then

so what

[tardy spade]

Fib gives more mult than steven

[patent sail]

so this can also give more chips than todd

[tardy spade]

You saying make primes give like 80 chips?

[patent sail]

80 is a lot

[scenic mortar]

I think its better boots

[patent sail]

50 maybe probably

[scenic mortar]

You need good economy but its good

[tardy spade]

So like arrowhead then

I suppose you could compare fib to onyx agate then

[patent sail]

but for ranks which is different

[scenic mortar]

MOOODSS

[patent sail]

or even better

whatever is the closest prime to 50 to stay on theme

[fading tusk]

DAMNNNNN, (original seed)

[tardy spade]

It's 47 or 53. Your choice.

[patent sail]

53 is funny i think

[minor portal]

what if they just gave one chip

[scenic mortar]

Yorick and you win

Please delete chicot

[patent sail]

just like todd gives 1 more than 30 (to be odd)

[scenic mortar]

Youre right

[patent sail]

meh tbh yorick is no5 bad anyway

[scenic mortar]

i dont see the 5

[patent sail]

free xmult is free xmult

[scenic mortar]

I think triboullete?

If you have kings and queens only?

[patent sail]

but here no hes not gonna help

[cloud sinew]

yorick is absolutely not useless at this point

[scenic mortar]

I guess

Chicot

Right?

[turbid nova]

at that point you'd want trib right

you have photochad already

[minor portal]

no

evil

[scenic mortar]

You win

[turbid nova]

banger

[scenic mortar]

Let me see your deck

[knotty zodiac]

new goal: get yorick and chicot

[turbid nova]

king/queen flush fives

[scenic mortar]

Can i see your deck?

Please?

[scenic mortar]

Try five of kings

But

Canio gets useless at this point

[turbid nova]

canio is a nice boost I guess

could maybe get rid of it for sock later

[knotty zodiac]

dna creates face cards, perkeo hanged destroys them

[fading tusk]

Im very nervious rn

[scenic mortar]

OHHHH GOOD POINTT

[fading tusk]

I was doing that

[scenic mortar]

Well i go out here

[knotty zodiac]

ya it's like 10 free xmult by ante 8

[scenic mortar]

Bye bye

Hell no.

[cloud sinew]

[patent sail]

what is sock gonna do

[chrome gorge]

But like, the only ones I can actually do are the art related ones

So

[rotund bloom]

Thank you!!

[calm furnace]

can someone explain to me why the hook scales groker down?

when it doest affect shit like delayed gratification

its dumb

[cloud sinew]

green joker is "per discard", delgrat is "if no discards are used"

hook triggering is a discard, but you arent using a discard for delgrat

[dark lava]

what is delgrat

[cloud sinew]

delayed gratification

[dark lava]

im not up to date with abbreiviations

[willow frost]

you could kinda guess that i think

[calm furnace]

-1 mult per discard no?

thats what it says

im noot discarding with the hook

the hook should only affect ramen

[cloud sinew]

when hook triggers it discards 2 cards. if at least 1 card is discarded, that's a discard.
a discard isnt being used for delgrat

[lunar torrent]

YOU ALWAYS MAKE LOSE

[brave echo]

so this is just 2 extra hand size for 2 rounds?

no thanks 💔 💔

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf i think the reason why burnt joker doesnt work against hook but trading card does is because burnt's effect has "and not context.hook", while trading card does not

[cloud sinew]

wdym "for 2 rounds"

it's +2 handsize, -1 hands

[brave echo]

-1 hand size every round

oh

tHATS EVEN WORSE?

[cloud sinew]

no

[cloud sinew]

"every round" doesnt mean the effect stacks again when you go into another round

it just means that it works for every round, it's confusing.

[brave echo]

oh

still bad though

[cloud sinew]

the wording should just not have "every round", i've had this opinion for a while

it just makes it more confusing

[brave echo]

its fine its +3 multiplier for red card

[cloud sinew]

if you sell troubadour in round you don't get the hand back for that round

troubadour is secretly an "on blind select" effect

which means if you get troubadour in the middle of a round you dont lose a hand for that round either

[fading tusk]

Da seed

[tranquil cedar]

this mf banana has been here since ante 3 WHY WON'T YOU DIE

[cloud sinew]

also the reason why the spectrals that destroy cards but don't trigger Glass Joker is because they don't have "if card.ability.name == 'Glass Card' then card:shatter()"

[prime tulip]

My god

Its beautiful

[errant brook]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is finally over! Completionist++ on mobile! The final joker was Acrobat. Unlike my PC C++ finish with Chicot actually being the MVP, Acrobat for this ending…never activated as I was playing Supernova BP Burglar spam

[prime tulip]

Natural negative blueprint

[errant brook]

Not once did I ever hit the last hand with this

[cloud sinew]

if by "cycles" you mean loops, you use do instead of then for "while" or "for" loops, but in this context you explicitly need a "then" after an "if" in lua

[brave echo]

what are some good decks and how do i unlock them

[devout wasp]

yea lua uses keywords to demarcate loops and conditionals

as opposed to python which uses a colon and syntactic whitespace, or c-likes that use curly braces

[cloud sinew]

Blue > Yellow > Zodiac > Abandoned

[brave echo]

unlock?

[devout wasp]

most of them should say what the unlock conditions are if you haven't unlocked them yet

if you scroll in the menu

[brave echo]

yes but idk which is which

[devout wasp]

the order is red - blue - yellow - green - black - magic - nebula - ghost - abandoned - checkered - zodiac - painted - anaglyph - plasma - erratic, but that's not gonna be super helpful rn

blue and yellow are almost immediate unlocks, though. i believe those just require finding more stuff

[brave echo]

so abandoned is bad

[devout wasp]

really there's not much more to it other than play more and you will unlock more, until it gets later on

abandoned is not bad, it's in the top 4, those are all good decks

[brave echo]

oh ok

[devout wasp]

though imo it's worth it to play with every deck, because they all have different challenges and strengths

[brave echo]

how do i unlock difficulties?

[devout wasp]

beat ante 8 on the previous difficulty

[brave echo]

oh ok

[devout wasp]

but difficulties are per-deck, so if you unlock the next diff on red deck, you'll still have to do it again on a different deck to get that deck's next difficulty

[tulip oak]

should i brainstorm photograph or hanging chad

[devout wasp]

for pure score, with no other effects, photo

[tulip oak]

ok ty

[devout wasp]

if you had glass it'd be different i think, or if you want more money from like a gold seal or smth, that'd be a compelling reason to copy chad

[brave echo]

is scary face good

[devout wasp]

difficult to answer in a vacuum. it's fine scoring for early, but can fall off later if you can't give it support

tbh i wouldn't worry too much about what's good or bad at this earliest phase. just try everything, some things will work and some things won't

[brave echo]

ok

[serene forge]

I love Red Card

[devout wasp]

one piece of general advice i will give, that i will say is almost always applicable, is to try to avoid spending money unless:

1. you will lose if you don't
2. you will have over $25 even after spending
3. it's the start of the game and you're buying a first joker (which is really, like, a subcase of 1)

this advice is Wrong but it is right enough to get you to the point where you'll know why and when it is wrong

[clear mulch]

or also over 50 or 100 if you have the money tree vouchers

[devout wasp]

case in point!

[brave goblet]

Man white stake is literally sandbox mode

[serene forge]

awaaa

[exotic silo]

After I had an Ancient + Smeared + SnB build going on, Seltzer showed up, so I decided to go full skip mode

The Club almost ruined the attempt by showing up while Ancient was on Spades, sold Smeared to save it, Smeared CAME BACK in the next shop as an eternal. then Pareidoila actually made the breakthrough past 400K needed to win ante 8

[calm furnace]

great run killed by this terrible boss

i was scoring enough to win on the last hand but had to get the eye

ignore the burger i got it from jdugment because i was desperate and sold my rocket

got i hate the eye

this is top 5 most annoying runs i ever had

the eye out of all the bosses in a run i spent close to 350 dollars in rerolls

was the first time i get loyalty card to be useful without burglar too ❤️‍🩹

[boreal oar]

im lost

[brave goblet]

Absolutely scuffed stats

[marsh swan]

Finally

[viral raft]

Least poor Flash card Scaling on gold stake:

tbh they should buff Flash card

in high stakes is so meh

[idle kernel]

Square joker

[ancient gyro]

it's okay in higher stakes, has a reasonable enough niche

[viral raft]

mmmm tbh is pretty weak most of the time

[ancient gyro]

to offset its highs

[viral raft]

is a scaling mult so is still great but maybe is the least good from the scaling mult team

[ancient gyro]

erosion

bootystraps

ft

[viral raft]

i just forget Boots exist

they should rework erosion imo

[ancient gyro]

for proactive scaling Jj is probably the least consistent

[viral raft]

yep, is not useless at all but is by far the most inconsistent from the scaling mult team

Bull is way better than Boots

and is not even close

[hearty tusk]

Am selling my soul to the first eldritch being here to grant me the ability to beat black deck gs

[exotic silo]

the uncommon Burglar build

Lucky Cat x2 and Observatory helped push this one through

[humble gulch]

Please don't, I love erosion

[exotic silo]

Burglar was initially the solution to an early Needle, but it became the centerpiece with how many hands I needed each round ngl

[viral raft]

i mean boots i mean boots

[humble gulch]

I love boots

[viral raft]

how

boots is really annoying to play around

isn't like Obelisk which is hard but rewarding

Boots just gaves you average scaling mult by playing econ save

[humble gulch]

🐑

[ancient gyro]

"hard"

[humble gulch]

I just like boots

[humble gulch]

Obelisk is brain dead

[viral raft]

true but is a example of playing different to get rewarded

boots ask you for playing saving money just to get average scaling mult value

[ancient gyro]

play less of the game to barely get rewarded by it

[fiery nymph]

real

[humble gulch]

Hi

[fiery nymph]

shut up oh my goodness

[humble gulch]

Chili oil is so good

[humble gulch]

What...

[fiery nymph]

i love you

[humble gulch]

🐑

[fiery nymph]

🐇

[humble gulch]

I don't know if it's for my bio anymore, man

[fiery nymph]

its for bio

im not an edating CHUD

[viral raft]

😭😭😭😭

Another Flash card build??

[ebon condor]

a story

[viral raft]

that was pure hate action 😭

Chicot literally did his mission

and you just kill him

[ebon condor]

tbf i was gonna do it regardless of what legendary it was

soul literally last blind is VILE

[terse dock]

non-binary joker: im the woker babey

[mental bloom]

Super fun run and finally beat Blue Stake Ghost Deck

Early Ouija got me 4s and found a Arrowhead then 2 Invis that landed on it, so Spade 4s it was

Early RTB so easy Mult and Talkie Walkie bc it fits for the 4

And a nat negative Dusk that is really helpful for the run but I didn't even need to use it

[nova junco]

ITS COME DOWN TO ONLY 2 CONTENDERS WHICH ONE WILL BE THE LAST

[humble gulch]

What deck is that gold sticker from?

Smeared

Smeared is trash

[nova junco]

on one side the worst joker ever that I am literally never ever able to have a run with

[mental bloom]

The Gold sticker from Arrowhead ?

[nova junco]

on the other side smeared joker

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[nova junco]

jokes on you I'll do a run with both trust

[humble gulch]

Castle scales almost the same as square

Castle is really good

[mental bloom]

-# Ummm... uhhhhh... Yeah...

[humble gulch]

What?

[mental bloom]

-# Checkered ?

-# Hmph...

[humble gulch]

🐑

At least it's not bloodstone

[mental bloom]

Of course it was Checkered hmph

Arrowhead > Bloodstone easily

[nova junco]

wait does castle pick a random suit or the ones you have in your deck only

like is it good in checkered

[mental bloom]

random

[ancient gyro]

looks at deck

[mental bloom]

like ancient joker

that's why they're not viable in checkered

[nova junco]

ok those are 2 different answers to a yes or no question

[humble gulch]

Castle looks at your deck

[mental bloom]

darn really

[ancient gyro]

im sure yk who to believe

[humble gulch]

-# Yeah...

[mental bloom]

-# Mmmmh...

I thought all of these jokers were random (except like Mail-In Rebate and Idol)

[ancient gyro]

unrelated but tdl is the only joker where it's duplicate can be off sync

[ancient gyro]

only aj and tdl is randomized and they still follow a hard rule of no repeat suits/poker hands next round

[mental bloom]

ooooooooh

[nova junco]

-# whats tdl short for

[mental bloom]

indeed

To Do List

[nova junco]

right

[mental bloom]

they're indeed not in sync

[ancient gyro]

the driver license

[mental bloom]

BUH

[humble gulch]

What if I win only playing pairs

:3

[mental bloom]

Pro

Very pro

GO GO GO

[humble gulch]

Bruh

[mental bloom]

free win

[exotic silo]

LUCHADOR

[cloud sinew]

you can see this just from the collection

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[cloud sinew]

To Do List will change most times when you check the collection, while Idol, Rebate, Castle and Ancient Joker all give the same hit every time if you just keep closing out of the collection and rechecking

[mental bloom]

ohhhh

okay :P

[ancient gyro]

is misprint independent or does it continue from a queue (dupes and copy jokers)

[cloud sinew]

what do you mean

the mult or the card it shows

[ancient gyro]

mult

[cloud sinew]

independent

[ancient gyro]

ight

[mental bloom]

well, I'm gonna try the challenge since I'm at it

[lost vault]

boys

[viral raft]

i just get 40$ from lucky cards

the run is won right?

[humble gulch]

Bruh

BRO

Greeded too hard

[viral raft]

dude

😭

[cloud sinew]

okay so i was wrong

it's a queue

copy jokers and dupes continue from the same queue as normal misprint

i tested on mobile so i know i dont have smods causing it.

[ancient gyro]

i vaguely remember copy jokers continuing from queue in retrospect

[frozen smelt]

Kinda sad the run died, but at least new high score. Shame not nan inf

[cloud sinew]

i dont know how TDL works

i would imagine it continues from a queue, but im not certain.

[ancient gyro]

it just follows aj logic right

[cloud sinew]

?

no in 2 ways

[ancient gyro]

no repeats next round, no certain queue

o

[cloud sinew]

it can repeat, hold on

[patent sail]

balatrodle in 2 for 3 days in a row my god

[viral raft]

i love Lucky Cat

3 free stickers

[ancient gyro]

don't think I've seen it happen before

either i should go to urgent care or im a test subject for immoral probabilities

[fiery nymph]

2oak

im crine

[frank grove]

Yeah tdl can hit the same hand twice, its just not super common

[rocky helm]

why did this die

least activity i've ever seen

[earnest mountain]

where is mime

who stole mime

[rocky helm]

get the money

rerol

[earnest mountain]

can I see how many times I rerolled before run ends ?

[frozen tendon]

ummmmmm guys

why do i not have my balatro profiles

[earnest mountain]

never gotten soul either

[tough perch]

That was my second game ever, and I quite like the game!

I had both the "make a straight using only 4" and "make a straight by skipping a number" jokers, and I kept picking the planet that boosts them too

[humble gulch]

Pair only run (I wanna die)

[frozen tendon]

dang nice for a second game

[tough perch]

However I don't understand how I went from having to score 1.2mil to having to score 7mil in a single game!

(endless mode)

[humble gulch]

It gets worse

In really late game it adds 3 zeros every ante

Like

e78 > e81

[tough perch]

Holy cow

[cedar sable]

endless is harsh

very harsh

[humble gulch]

Endless is boring

[cedar sable]

the scaling is insane

[gilded trench]

i binged all i could about balatro and played a knockoff version of roblox maybe ill buy it

[tough perch]

There are other modes than endless?

[humble gulch]

No

[tough perch]

I shee

[cedar sable]

buy it tbh

[humble gulch]

Challenges I guess

[cedar sable]

there's mods

[tough perch]

I spent like almost 2h on that second game, and I wasn't bored

[frozen tendon]

does anyone know why I got on today and my account is just gone? and I’m left with two accounts that have all the jokers with no stickers?

[cloud sinew]

theres nothing in TDL' code that stops it from repeating.
it checks if hands are visible (secret hands), but it doesnt check for repeats. how ancient does it is; ancient checks that the rolled suit is ~= (not equal) to the current suit

[cedar sable]

and idk

[cedar sable]

challenges and stakes

[gilded trench]

i need to wait a little for my paarents to get home and maybe theyll let me put some 40 bucks in my steam wallet

[earnest mountain]

really annoying where is mime 😭

[tough perch]

I haven't checked that, will do then, thanks

[cedar sable]

cool

[cloud sinew]

i personally have seen it repeat, but wanted to verify internally that its possible.

[cedar sable]

in anto 40

[tough perch]

I don't think we're playing the same game

[cedar sable]

ante*

oops

[humble gulch]

It get's boring past ante 12

[cedar sable]

anyways imma do my balatrodle bye

[humble gulch]

Since there's only a few viable strategies and both are brain dead

[earnest mountain]

I got c++ and steam last achievement (2 glass breaking one)
now I am sad

[tough perch]

Don't spoil them to me then I'll discover'em myself I suppose!

[modest mist]

Hello! How's everyone doing?

[cedar sable]

ggs on 100% i guess

[ancient gyro]

im going to urgent care

[cedar sable]

idk

balatrodle in 3

[earnest mountain]

how are my priorities

look dates

[nova junco]

me: "ok I'm doing a serious run now"
the game:

[cedar sable]

why

[nova junco]

There's also the plant but I have justice I'll be fine

[cloud sinew]

btw the collection is specifically coded to be a random TDL every time you check, which is why it doesnt show what the actual TDL is hitting

[earnest mountain]

I play 5 glass
0 or 1 break
I genuinely struggled with that one

[cedar sable]

how do you even finish jokerless without breaking 2 glass cards in a single hand

[cloud sinew]

blue seals, steels

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[earnest mountain]

these tasks don't count towards steam achievments

[cedar sable]

[cedar sable]

damn ok

[ancient gyro]

tdl getting soft countered by acorns

[serene forge]

me when i do the little thing called looking at my jonklers before they get flipped over

[ancient gyro]

i should do c++ with incomprehensible language

[serene forge]

i should play dead cells in korean

[ancient gyro]

numbers in binary

[cloud sinew]

actually i was wrong, ancient only allows non-current suits to be in the array for possible next suits, it doesnt check that the rolled suit isnt the current suit

[ancient gyro]

if i didn't already knew how to read it

[cedar sable]

fair enough

trance chariot

[terse dock]

gg ez

[nova junco]

Also castle is now my only missing gold sticker

yes I got smeared

and it was on checkered deck

[hearty tusk]

You got smeared joker sticker on checkered

Why

[nova junco]

yes

[hearty tusk]

Why would you do that

[nova junco]

because I needed the sticker

[hearty tusk]

😱😱😱😱

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[hearty tusk]

I love Baron

[nova junco]

I need to gold sticekr a single joker

the joker being castle

what deck do i do

[hearty tusk]

Black

[nova junco]

shut up

[hearty tusk]

Black deck gs

[nova junco]

honestly you know what I'll do one black deck run

[hearty tusk]

-# i lost my mind

[humble gulch]

Just do blue or ghost

[hearty tusk]

Do it for my sake

[visual arch]

i am almost naneinf ready 😤

[hearty tusk]

Its been rawdogging me nonconsesually for the last 5 days (black deck gs)

And I keep going back to it

Like a bitch

When they go back to their pimp

Like yes, master black deck, lets run it back one more time

[nova junco]

I lost

[hearty tusk]

I am not surprised

Did it slap you too

[ancient gyro]

i won

[hearty tusk]

Hahaha funny

[nova junco]

im doing red deck so i have more discards for castle if I ever get it

[hearty tusk]

I am inside your skin

[viral raft]

gem alert

first shop

OMGGGG

Riff raff allow me to buy Blank in ante 1

[viral raft]

holy shit

[earnest mountain]

lets guess the score

[viral raft]

and with Riff raff is just insane

[visual arch]

naneinf with only 33 cards nice 😄

[viral raft]

14 jokers damns

[visual arch]

6 blueprints, 1 brainstorm

didn't even need burglar

nor steel cards

[earnest mountain]

whats the benefit of gold kings why not metal
also I just died coz mime didn't show up, is it a skill issue

[visual arch]

when you're searching for jokers you can get more money

[earnest mountain]

181 rerolls

[visual arch]

either with golden ticket or mime re-triggers

[cosmic sun]

Even endless players need money

[versed sable]

true :3

[earnest mountain]

what % of naninf is skill what % is luck

I'll keep trying everyday until I either hate the game or an update drops

[humble gulch]

Like, 90% luck

[viral raft]

mostly luck tbh

[humble gulch]

Naneinf is easy

[earnest mountain]

so if I try 10 times I should be able to do it

[viral raft]

you depends on voucher and bosses

[earnest mountain]

I am afraid of getting close then messing up 😭

[humble gulch]

1 in 5 seeds are naneinf-able

[errant brook]

someone the other day claimed 90% were lol

I didn’t agree with that at all

[earnest mountain]

at which are if no baron no mime no perkeo I stop

[nova junco]

HELL YEAH IVE GOT C++

[viral raft]

GG WP!

[nova junco]

although steam forgot to achieve the achievement

[viral raft]

now Black++

[mental bloom]

CONGRATSSSS

[nova junco]

at 345 hours lmao

[mental bloom]

son 😭

[viral raft]

play a white stake run and it'll appear

tjeres a bug that makes C+ and C++ don't appear until you won atleast one run

weird

[nova junco]

what lol

[mental bloom]

i mean for black++

also C++ already when I have a bit more than 400hs

[viral raft]

Black++ is hard so with the logic of the sweaty nerds Hard = Fun!

[nova junco]

yeah no black++ is doc only lol

[nova junco]

well time for the victory lap I guess

plasma deck white stake the easiest one out there

[viral raft]

tbh you must be really stupid if you do Nebula/Black++

dude noone asked you for doing that

why
