oh no multiple people on a card game discord don’t approve of me being rude
whatever shall I do
A) ignore
B) you’re stupid
…
B) you’re stupid 💖 respectfully

[ancient gyro]

they mentioned every face card econ joker and warped a conversation about how it counters plant and later puts photo in the conversation

[worn hare]

Hai !
I was wondering if there is a C++ role on the server ?

[ancient gyro]

nada

zilch

[terse dock]

were you always like this because i dont remember you being so

[graceful schooner]

Red dyed hair

[iron vigil]

There's not because it would be too hard to confirm wether someone actually has a legitimate C++

[graceful schooner]

Is my call

[hearty tusk]

Brother

[worn hare]

Oh yeah true

[ancient gyro]

mondays

[hearty tusk]

Youre not helping

[graceful schooner]

Mb alr

[bleak blaze]

Finals week amirite?

[viral raft]

nope! you have to add in your name yourself to feel superior to the others!

[hidden lance]

brutal

[compact gazelle]

no im just feeling saucy today
i saw stupid so I said stupid
sue me
(or go after my parents i guess?)

[terse dock]

that would explain it eh

[bleak blaze]

Gets the best of us

[compact gazelle]

my hair is black and undyed thank you very much

[viral raft]

is a trap!

[light brook]

undye the undying

[ancient gyro]

oh I don't have those anymore

[karmic warren]

do i sell dna for showman now?

[bleak blaze]

False additions of C++ will result in 30 hours at the ball crushing factory

[hearty tusk]

Btw this is just insulting👆

[humble gulch]

My hair is transparent and nonexistent :3

[light brook]

what if you don’t have balls

[hearty tusk]

Bald :(

[compact gazelle]

yes
yes it is
what are you going to do about it :3

[bleak blaze]

Well you better grow some real quick!

[humble gulch]

Honestly I wouldn't be able to live without hair

[hearty tusk]

<@&1133519078540185692> i guess

[compact gazelle]

wow see through hair
does it work like an invisibility cloak or no

[ancient gyro]

i would

[worn hare]

I calculated, based on the Steam achievement showing 0.8% of players that have C++ and taking 5M copies as number of players, that there would be only 4000 players that has C++ which seems very very low
Does anyone know a way to actually have the number of person with C++ ?

[humble gulch]

Yes

[ancient gyro]

yk we have mod mail

[compact gazelle]

if the mods think im being too mean then so be it

[viral raft]

bro have the permission all drop the entire nuke 😭

[hearty tusk]

Alright

[bleak blaze]

the embodiment of "Lacking Accountability" everyone

[ancient gyro]

wait kaiasann was here for a year, I've never seen you around during the brooke era

[compact gazelle]

there’s no such thing as accountability in this world 💖

[graceful schooner]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[ancient gyro]

dude

[abstract dagger]

Balatro 2 revealed

In my dream

[light brook]

folk there is no need to call mods

mod mail exists

[graceful schooner]

Oh

[compact gazelle]

a second mod ping has hit the game discussion channel

[light brook]

if you have a non immediate issue put it there

[ancient gyro]

she hasn't said the gamer word yet

save your pings

[lucid spade]

i have a question about the game should i ask it here or u guys gonna keep yapping about stupid shit

[compact gazelle]

I was rarely very active then but I do remember you
and your previous profile

[light brook]

ask away

[viral raft]

ask

[ancient gyro]

don't ask to ask just ask

[compact gazelle]

I don’t swear 💖

[lucid spade]

watching roffle rn and i noticed if hes using a death and he has a red seal queen and a red seal holo queen, he’ll always death the non holo card

why is that?

[light brook]

we need to switch topics

[bleak blaze]

The topic wont switch from us 😭

[iron vigil]

But thunk has considered it before! That's why we even have the suit roles, so if you want a role you can get it through the server roles thingy

[ancient gyro]

my previous profile

[compact gazelle]

probably waiting for polychrome or something

[humble gulch]

Holo is not really good, it's for speculative polychrome

[terse dock]

im tired boss

[lucid spade]

i know holo gains are marginal but he might as well? he has so many queens

[bleak blaze]

i still see the blocked messages going and going

[compact gazelle]

yellow face guy singing music notes

[light brook]

either waiting on polychrome or personal preference

[lucid spade]

cant he just poly another queen

[ancient gyro]

i have short term memory loss

[bleak blaze]

More chances to hit Polychrome

[humble gulch]

Holo looks ugly

[worn hare]

What are these roles ?

[humble gulch]

🐑

[ancient gyro]

oh the tomogachi guy

[bleak blaze]

Oh wait my bad

read wrong

[light brook]

polys are hard to come by and if a card is foiled you can’t polychrome it

[ancient gyro]

does that dude have a name

[lucid spade]

ok i didnt even realize this, thats probably it. thanks

[hearty tusk]

Meh

[iron vigil]

Hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs, it's why some of us have the suits next to their colored names

[hearty tusk]

Run it back

[iron vigil]

Have you beaten gs black deck yet human

[hearty tusk]

:(

[iron vigil]

i see

😭

[hearty tusk]

:(

[ancient gyro]

it's more on the fact that classist undertones will be frequently seen which is not a good idea

it was almost like that for the suit roles

but it was convinced by yours truly (somewhat)

[hearty tusk]

Classism in gaming. Insane that it exists, but not surprising

[ancient gyro]

well hearts have a unique reputation of

sucking in game

[worn hare]

It's only to have some colored name ?

[ancient gyro]

and then the personal relationships come out

[hearty tusk]

Woa

[viral raft]

SHould i take Smiley face for stickering value or do i search something worst???

[ancient gyro]

nah

[light brook]

yep

[bleak blaze]

I forget actual people like that exist

[ancient gyro]

go for other uncommon stickers

[worn hare]

Okay :D

[viral raft]

ok

[ancient gyro]

or harder stickers

that you don't have yet

[iron vigil]

:(

[sly osprey]

please report people who are using the suit roles to insinuate some kind of classism, that is inappropriate and will not be tolerated (if I misunderstood, I apologize)

[iron vigil]

This was not the case here no

That wasn't the issue iirc

[viral raft]

nothing appeared

[ancient gyro]

oh no I wasn't saying it has happened before to that point

[viral raft]

mhm

[iron vigil]

someone was being annoying to someone else in the chat

[ancient gyro]

im just saying thunk considered not adding cosmetic roles for this similar reason

[nocturne frost]

Smiley face is not a stinker joker to sticker so don't worry

[ancient gyro]

but yeah

[viral raft]

another run!

[light brook]

i believe the ping was for rudeness/annoyance, and then we switched topics to whether or not c++ should be a role or not and the argument of classicism appeared as an argument against

[ancient gyro]

were you on the last round

[iron vigil]

i remember thunk saying he wasn't against c++ role at all lol

[ancient gyro]

i wouldve taken smiley if so lol

[iron vigil]

but that it was hard to certify

[ancient gyro]

oh boy

[nocturne frost]

Which deck btw?

[hearty tusk]

Hey guys i need an opinion

[iron vigil]

come forth

[sly osprey]

heard I just wanted to make that clear, carry on yall

[viral raft]

but did you said nah

anyways

[viral raft]

Zodiac

[ancient gyro]

you cropped the image, what do you want from me

[viral raft]

idk you told me nah but then that you would take the smiley

[nocturne frost]

Okay I don't think there are any particular to the deck stinker jokers, just gonna advise you not to disregard the basic common jokers, even though they are common, at the end of the grind if they are left they can be quite stinky

[hearty tusk]

Ive been struggling too much with black deck gs and Ive been thinking about making a new profile and basically restaring the game from the beginning; perhaps a fresh start since the profile am playing on is already a bit fucked since I onyl created it for naneinf attempts lol (which i achieved)

What do you think? I am going to restart, I just would like to hear your opinion

[ancient gyro]

i prioritize harder to find stickers by default

why

[graceful schooner]

W Naninf

On Plasma?

[hearty tusk]

Of course

Check out #🌱・seed-chat , i dropped the seed there. Absolutely INSANE seed

[nocturne frost]

Oh you want to do a Black++ to practice black deck?

Basically what I did

[hearty tusk]

No just regular c++ for now

[ancient gyro]

when you said stickering, you didn't specify anything else like round or ante or place

[nocturne frost]

Oh then you mean your statistics are just not representative if you start going for stickers now?

[hearty tusk]

Yeah lol

[viral raft]

it was last round before the King Crimson Heart

anyways

[ancient gyro]

🗿

ight then

[hearty tusk]

We're restarting then baby

Run it back AAAAALL the way

[graceful schooner]

Damn

Final run it back

[ancient gyro]

u should do a gsg attempt

[viral raft]

which buffon pack should i take?
or do i take Peak Idol

[waxen quartz]

I lost ante 2 on red deck 🙁 gsg didn't go well

[ancient gyro]

context hat

[viral raft]

ante 1 round 1

[ancient gyro]

restart

[viral raft]

😭

[graceful schooner]

Always the singer

[viral raft]

i'll flip a coin

[graceful schooner]

I'd take right

So take left

[viral raft]

to see left or right

[ancient gyro]

it'll have the same jokers anyways

[waxen quartz]

maybe it's just running the game on proton. I always gets teh seeds of all page 1 jokers, or oops all perishable

[karmic warren]

sell showman for blueprint? then how do i get anything else?

[hearty tusk]

I unlocked everything for this profile when I still hadnt unlocked some vouchers (magic trick's and the reroll's upgrades ||yes i know that sounds stupid||), and iirc unlocking everything disables achievements

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[heady spoke]

My mobile save corrupted I had completionist ++

[viral raft]

for what i remenber no

[heady spoke]

400 hours gone

[waxen quartz]

build up like $3k then swap ticket for a new showman in an ante or so

[viral raft]

but if it's true, is still fun to think that i have a choose to take a pack by my own

[ancient gyro]

each ante has a separate joker, consumable, and shop queue, this includes packs

toomuchtimelilo confirmed this a while back

[humble gulch]

Oh

[viral raft]

oh, i thought packs were the only ones without queue

that's neat

makes me feel less bad when i make a choose

because i don't have

[hearty tusk]

Run it back🤞

[ancient gyro]

stm profile 🗣️

[iron vigil]

Noneslop

[viral raft]

my favorite hand: None (0) 🔥

[heady spoke]

Good luck im in the same boat now

[humble gulch]

Oh no

[waxen quartz]

everything has a queue and a backup queue and a backupqueue for that (for card collision). most things are ante based but some aren't, but that list isn't too short either

[scarlet girder]

my first gold stake win on yellow deck and this is one of the craziest shops I've ever seen

[viral raft]

yeah i know that, i thought packs where the only ones without a actual queue

[hearty tusk]

How is it crazy

[scarlet girder]

magic trick hologram and then a bunch of planets

[viral raft]

Hologram and High Priests

idk really cool

[hearty tusk]

Foil constellation looks soooooooo good

[waxen quartz]

the only weird thing about packs is packs from skips are a separate queue from store packs? there's probably something else weird we're all forgetting 🙂

[scarlet girder]

i got cavendish right before violet vessel too

so like

easy gold stake

[upbeat vector]

Nope!

[scarlet girder]

can't wait to gold stake black deck

[upbeat vector]

Polychrome Trading Card

[hearty tusk]

NO

[scarlet girder]

surely I'll get double constellation magic trick hologram again

[viral raft]

is this a blessing?

[ancient gyro]

allegedly

[viral raft]

time for pairslop

[upbeat vector]

Yep!

[hearty tusk]

Waiter waiter!

More balatro slop!

[viral raft]

Baron mime/Photochad videos*

[hearty tusk]

I watch roffleheavy

[viral raft]

i like Roffle but his builds are straight up braindead ngl 😭

[ancient gyro]

i dont watch anything

[viral raft]

not even Doc?

[ancient gyro]

not anymore

[viral raft]

😔

[hearty tusk]

Is there a reason

[viral raft]

i mostly just watch Doc and Bean

[ancient gyro]

im not really the kind of person that watches recycled content for too long before getting bored out of my mind

[viral raft]

i like the strategies that they play

[thorn kraken]

Playing a lot of balatro I made this tierlist as a mix of how good I know decks are and how good I think decks could potentially be

[hearty tusk]

Fair point

[viral raft]

Anaglyph is NOT A tier 😭

Same with Black deck

also Nebula

[hearty tusk]

Why do most people here not like green deck?

[ancient gyro]

makes pairs expensive

[hearty tusk]

I kinda lowkey love it

[viral raft]

i guess is weird to play aroud no econ

[thorn kraken]

Not bad, but the loss of interest hurts it

[serene forge]

no words

[ancient gyro]

you should've been here an hour ago

[thorn kraken]

I feel like the double tags could be really good

[viral raft]

literally the best joker in the game vs random joker which is probably going to be ahh

[frank grove]

wheres the hex gone ?

[viral raft]

no way...

[ancient gyro]

here's the actual tier list

[hearty tusk]

Sold

[frank grove]

for?

[dire sage]

for plasma deck you need to scale chips

if u find stuntman you win instantly

[hearty tusk]

Money 😛

[thorn kraken]

You gotta be trolling right? Isn't Ghost like the best deck

[ancient gyro]

no lol

[viral raft]

The 2.4 Million score VV in the background:

[thorn kraken]

I thought ghost and plasma were like the best

[dire sage]

that's a winstreak tierlist

[ancient gyro]

a couple of these win streaks are real

[dire sage]

luchador in the buffoon pack

[viral raft]

me when i gamble:

[brave fox]

Lets see how many runs I can fuggs up on the train ride home

[ancient gyro]

have fun consistently having a scoring crutch through worse boss blinds

[viral raft]

why Painted deck so low? i never like it but i think theres probably chances to make it a good deck overall

[humble gulch]

Bro

[dire sage]

you know what's worse than a perishable joker?

a rental eternal perishable joker

[humble gulch]

Oops all perishable!

[dire sage]

cerulean bell is such a sigh of relief tbh

[ancient gyro]

less joker slots make for a more conservative play style overall for joker pickups while making synergy jokers less of a frequent pick. on the other hand,+2 hand size isn't always beneficial immediately for survival to the point where you'll always make use of it in a 2oak meta

[viral raft]

makes sense, tbh sometimes you're simply forced to take eternals which are really that good in long term, Painted deck makes this even worst

[humble gulch]

Straights run

❤️‍🩹

[graceful schooner]

Yea

Riff raff eternal

Goated

[viral raft]

folks, should i take Chad? theres nothing to play around but i see the potential

[ancient gyro]

ghosts upsides aren't consistent enough to warrant placing higher than the consistent valuable decks that grant something more consistently for spectrals having a shop weight of 2

plasma is known to be the second hardest deck to gs overall for its scoring and boss blind inconsistency

[graceful schooner]

Which is hardest to gs?

[viral raft]

Black deck :/

[ancient gyro]

you're unable to keep greed jokers as long in worse scenarios like trading card or rebate for example if you wanna live

[humble gulch]

Lol

[ancient gyro]

black

[graceful schooner]

Fk I had a gs run

Ante 7

[viral raft]

really makes sense to me ngl

[thorn kraken]

Ngl I'm still on orange stake as my highest one

[graceful schooner]

I was clearing woth a dusk hand easy but I played the hand with 2 hands remaining

Was cool jokers too

[humble gulch]

Fuck you

[ancient gyro]

you love bootystraps remember

[viral raft]

and what makes Blue deck a.k.a "The best deck"?, yes...1 hand is amazing, but other decks like Abandoned, Yellow or Zodiac are also peak

[humble gulch]

But it's rental, instead of saving money togheter she just robs me

[viral raft]

what makes Blue the best one by far?

[graceful schooner]

Haven't unlocked abandoned yet

[humble gulch]

One extra hand

[viral raft]

is really cool

[graceful schooner]

Gotta try

I guess small handsome is nice to build into

Small deck size

Jesus

[viral raft]

yeah but like i said: others like Yellow, Abandoned or Zodiac are also great

what makes blue the best of the bests?

[ancient gyro]

weak mindset

[humble gulch]

Less scoring required, one extra dollar every run and it's just safer

[foggy sun]

Blue deck is cool because u can be a little greedier, u can get more econ earlier on with the extra hand. and also, u can score more pairslop

[ancient gyro]

one extra hand grants you access to a lot of things

[foggy sun]

I think yellow is more reliable, but blue is like one of my best decks

[viral raft]

but it's really that good?? like, i'm not saying is not amazing but Yellow and Zodiac both also starts with great passives

[humble gulch]

What can be more consistent that one extra hand

[ancient gyro]

why do you think pair meta is so good rn

[graceful schooner]

I finished zodiac so fast on gs

[humble gulch]

Bro

[graceful schooner]

I think orange and gold back to back

[foggy sun]

Yes, it is. First off, u can see more cards in the deck, so its easier to build big hands. U can also score more points through pairs yk.

[graceful schooner]

It's so cool

[foggy sun]

just those two alone is great perks

[viral raft]

yeah fair enough, with blue you can literally get money and alot of spammable options

[ancient gyro]

what jokers benefit from playing a hand

[graceful schooner]

Face card triggers

Resvered parking

[ancient gyro]

econ

[viral raft]

😭

he's talking about econ and minmax

[graceful schooner]

Lucky cards

[foggy sun]

grimbo, bus, supernova, any econ can benefit (even on discard because u can save the discards)

[ancient gyro]

i mean ig that technically counts

[humble gulch]

I need mult now

[viral raft]

yeah but that's not the main point hahaha

[ancient gyro]

similar reasoning why I put red deck above ghost

[serene forge]

I hate Bootstraps

[ancient gyro]

seeing more of your deck is a huge benefit

[viral raft]

oh, i didn't realice, i was expecting to Ghost actually being high

[viral raft]

imo plasma is a awful design

[karmic warren]

is this w? now what do i do lol

[humble gulch]

Welp

[ancient gyro]

i like it's design, unfortunate that it's known for nanletism

[shell dagger]

find antimatter

[karmic warren]

into invis or showman?

[graceful schooner]

Nat neg bp

[humble gulch]

Why

[shell dagger]

no you don’t need another copy joker

[ancient gyro]

i used to hate plasma when i didn't know how to properly play that deck

[humble gulch]

This saves me 💔

[karmic warren]

into burglur?

[shell dagger]

dna to beat 24 and burglar to naneinf in 25+

[viral raft]

i think Plasma as a concept is nice, the problem is the fact that alot of the game is playing around consistensy with chips/mult

[karmic warren]

ok thank you

[viral raft]

Plasma sadly is inconsistent most of the time to me

[graceful schooner]

For 5 rounds

[karmic warren]

how many kings do i need?

i have 50

[humble gulch]

More than enough

[hearty tusk]

First run with an obelisk lol that was fun

[azure copper]

we run it back

[viral raft]

😭

gg wp

[hearty tusk]

I restarted everything, we ran it back ALL the way

[shell dagger]

you need to have 44 held in hand in the serpent which requires playing 19

[azure copper]

i figured

25k high score

[shell dagger]

so 63 minimum

[graceful schooner]

Isn't that the wrong setup?

[ancient gyro]

chips/mult balance numbers are fine for plasma, it's just more that boss blinds hit a lot worse on plasma with the scoring detriment and favoring specific jokers and planets that make plasma a huge bruise for your thumbs

[karmic warren]

what is the right setup

and i have to wait til ante 25 to naneinf or i will beat it too early?

[hearty tusk]

For the experts: how do you maintain an Obelisk build?

[graceful schooner]

I thought 3 Baron 3 mime wirh red sta Kings

[azure copper]

thats the neat part, you dont

[ancient gyro]

play pairs
play anything else
have unconditional scoring sources

[karmic warren]

i dont know

[ebon condor]

dont play my most played hand hope this helps

[azure copper]

im not an expert

[hearty tusk]

I figured l9l

[hearty tusk]

Yeah well what happens when I cant play a straight flush/four of a kind and everythin else is on 4

[ancient gyro]

pretend my hc count was pairs

[ancient gyro]

why would you do that in the first place

[graceful schooner]

Doesn't this give u 20 triggers per king?

[ancient gyro]

ik I shouldn't be talking but yk

[graceful schooner]

And 3x3 is 25

Or am I wrong

[hearty tusk]

To not restart the obelisk ig? Or is restarting it inevitable

[shell dagger]

????

[ebon condor]

why are you starting obelisk at 4

[viral raft]

makes sense, that's kinda why i think is a bad design, plasma depends alot on specific stuff that makes bosses really a hard counter (Needle, VV, Crimson Heart, Wall, water, etc)

[hearty tusk]

Whar

[shell dagger]

3 on baron 1 on mime gives 20 triggers, same as 2 on baron 2 on mime

[pale wolf]

plasma should lose the balancing in endless :)

[karmic warren]

it is e48 on 3 3 and e50 4 2

[ebon condor]

i assume "everything else is at 4" means "i have played all other hands 4 times"

[karmic warren]

so i think i had it right

[humble gulch]

I do not deserve this

[ancient gyro]

if your most played hand is high enough, you don't need to worry about it

[pale wolf]

"oh no i backed myself into a corner"

[shell dagger]

that’s because gold red seals benefit from 4 2

[pale wolf]

just play more pairs

[ebon condor]

and my question is why you started trying to play around obelisk while your most played hand was played 4 times

[shell dagger]

with steels 3 3 and 4 2 are the same

[karmic warren]

ok so when i start steels i should do 3 3

[ancient gyro]

14 is a decent obelisk hand ceiling

[shell dagger]

no point switching bc 4 2 is the same

[humble gulch]

That was a HORRIBLE run

[ebon condor]

depending at where you're at id say 10's even pretty safe

[viral raft]

no

[ancient gyro]

dare I say 5

[ebon condor]

like a7 sure

[hearty tusk]

So to build an Obelisk run you should have a most-played hand at least on 5~10?

[pale wolf]

depending on if u full skipped erratic flush 5 it could be 3!!!

[ebon condor]

preferably higher but yea

[ancient gyro]

10-14 as a minimum is pretty safe

[hearty tusk]

But is Obelisk reliable

[ancient gyro]

yes

[hearty tusk]

Mid game, I presume

[ancient gyro]

it's in my top 15 best jokers

[ebon condor]

if you have the build to support it its very consistent

[ancient gyro]

mid game is where you usually pivot but yeah

[ebon condor]

but one doesnt consistently have a build that can support it

but still relatively so

[graceful schooner]

U need 44 kings

[hearty tusk]

So, an early obelisk is as good as an early, say, baron?

[ebon condor]

waaaay better

[humble gulch]

I'm winning now

[pale wolf]

ghost deck time

[atomic cargo]

Doc did it from 3 lock in

[ebon condor]

but not something you qant like a1 buffoon obv

[pale wolf]

if it's from a pack, it is xmult you dont need to look for in the future

[humble gulch]

Bro

[hearty tusk]

Doc is a balatro university professor, i am a kindergarten child who's enjoying the game and doing his best to become better

[ancient gyro]

it will depend on your scoring source and deck fixing to how agnostic you can rely on finding/scoring said hand types. unconditional scoring jokers do that best, leveling up backup hands is also good

[inner glen]

a bit confused but i think i may have found an error in the balatro wiki

[viral raft]

alert

[inner glen]

the text is different

[hearty tusk]

What are in your opinion the most reliable of unconditional jokers?

[pale wolf]

photo chad

[hearty tusk]

Cavendish, mayhaps?

[pale wolf]

blackboard, rtb

[viral raft]

"Jesus or Devil" ahh choice

[humble gulch]

Huh

[hearty tusk]

Blackboard is a tiny bit conditional, but still extremely reliable ig

[pale wolf]

its free p much

[ancient gyro]

blackboard plays with the current meta

there's no real reason you shouldn't make more black suits

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[bleak blaze]

Nope, early Obelisk is better than and early Baron

[ancient gyro]

most chip/mult scalers. runner/jeans is an awesome candidate. anything that doesn't require you to lock into a specific poker hand (nova, burnt). certain poker hand enablers can work on both ends of obelisk scaling or setting up the ceiling albeit not mandatory (smeared/4f/shortcut)

early game chip/mult scalers have the easiest transition

that isn't nova ofc

[hearty tusk]

I remember winning my first ever game with a smeared, 4f and ancient joker lol it was a fun build

[bleak blaze]

FOUR FUCKING STENCILS 🔥

[hearty tusk]

Nice jokerless run

Yes

[pale wolf]

huhey

[hearty tusk]

I exist beyond your comprehension, foolish demon

I read uuuuh

Quick whats a book to hoard off eldrithc beings

I read the balatro wiki

[humble gulch]

Anyways

[soft forge]

i love throwbackke

[heady grove]

Should I replace sock with mime? I'm planning to get more steel cards

[serene forge]

throwbake

[serene forge]

sell photo

[karmic warren]

do i take this?

[serene forge]

yes

[karmic warren]

thank you

[serene forge]

well

technically you don't have to if you already have antimatter and retcon

but if you don't have those yet then you must take the hiero

[heady grove]

the second time you try to troll me. Is there any reason?

[karmic warren]

i do not even have blank, so should i sell mime for double tag and find it again?

i havent had 1 voucher skip and barely any double tags

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[celest olive]

this game is too hard :<

[serene forge]

what are the vouchers looking like

how likely would you be able to hit blank with a voucher skip

[karmic warren]

surely i get it

maybe not

issue is i have to hit it twice yea

[heady grove]

well, can you tell me whether mime would be better than sock?

[ancient gyro]

highly unlikely

[karmic warren]

so i try find mime again? im just scared i will ruin my money

[hearty tusk]

Well thats it for me, no more running it back for today. It was fun

[serene forge]

if you are consistently holding 2 steels in hand mime is better

[celest olive]

how do you get better at this game i feel like im struggling a lot

[hearty tusk]

Good night everyone

[serene forge]

sock is only a 2x for this

[heady grove]

well, 2*2x because of brainstorm

so it's 4 steel?

that are required to make mime better?

[ancient gyro]

wattesigma

[celest olive]

?

is it normal to find this game quite hard

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[celest olive]

idk how to get good at it

it doesn't feel that fun

[karmic warren]

i would say focus on money

[celest olive]

i try but i just tend to not get anything good ever in the shop

[coral drum]

I dropped a naninf greeding for an extra money trigger

[karmic warren]

if you can get 1 or 2 $ giving jokers in the first few antes and survive easily, play your hands to try to be as greedy as you can

[celest olive]

but idrk what's good anyway :(

idk i feel like im the worst

[karmic warren]

everything can work

you gotta play around things it is alot of trial and error to begin with

things can synergize and things can scale

if something adds mult the more you do something and you get it early, can be an easy run if you just continue doing that

and look for things that benefit doing that too

[celest olive]

i have like 34h but feel like i'm extremely braindead and it feels really frustrating :/

i'm playing after not playing for a while

[celest olive]

idk i feel like there must be a meta or something but idk all my friends r insane at this game but never explain how to do well and whatever idk

i feel extremely stupid

[humble gulch]

I need a Balatro rest

🐑

Google, put a 2 hour timer

[ebon condor]

there is def a meta but honestly imo its better to start by figuring out what does and doesnt work yourself before trying to explore that

bc if you just try to force meta without any understanding of how or why it works i dont think youre much better off

(also meta is boring asf let yourself have fun first)

[pale wolf]

what the fu k hook

literally picked all my steel and queens away every single hand

such bullshit 🥀

[ancient gyro]

[pale wolf]

stm actually sucks

[ancient gyro]

[pale wolf]

didnt realize it was more vulnerable than htr

[cosmic sun]

why is stm for the streets

[heady grove]

should I replace one chad to get more steel cards? It would cost like 6*2x because of photograph and brainstorm

[serene forge]

its endless just do whatever

[heady grove]

?

[serene forge]

endless sucks

[tall sapphire]

theres no way

i get hologram ante 2

and i play every shop

only 1 playing card pack

dude

IS THE FIRST SHOP OF THE FUCKING RUN I DONT HAVE MONEY THIS GAME ACTUALLY HATES ME

[humble gulch]

Why would you want a DNA

Just open the pack

[tall sapphire]

I just like dna

[tall sapphire]

i reset the run i felt disrespected

[heady grove]

if I didn't find it fun I wouldn't play it

what do I blueprint

if anything

[ruby vessel]

I like using it early in runs for deck fixing while u can still afford to waste a hand

[serene forge]

sell the chad

[heady grove]

Ty! and then blueprint the mime?

[serene forge]

deckfixing for fucking what

you have nothing 😭

[serene forge]

depends on how many steels

so maybe

[heady grove]

ok I can just decide in the run then

[chilly yew]

blueprint is always better than brainstorm right

[heady grove]

thanks

[chilly yew]

because you can reorder freely and not only on the left

[viral raft]

Nice

[humble gulch]

Just don't talk... 🐑

[chilly yew]

what would y'all say is a good ante?
12ish?

[viral raft]

MEGA NICE

[chilly yew]

scaling really picks up from 13

[serene forge]

no

[chilly yew]

why?

[serene forge]

not always

[chilly yew]

why?

[serene forge]

if you have holo on an xmult joker blueprint is worse since it triggers before the holo

[ruby vessel]

I’m tryna do magic deck where u get the extra fools so I usually just spam hanged men and then make a bunch of kings

[serene forge]

kings for what

[chilly yew]

oh

[ruby vessel]

Damn mb

[chilly yew]

but other than the very specific circumstance of Holo on an Xjoker it's normally better yes?

[ruby vessel]

Five flush. Isn’t the first step when ur playing just shaping the deck

[serene forge]

yea

[humble gulch]

Actually no

[chilly yew]

why?

[serene forge]

why do you think you're going to be playing flush five from the start of a run

[humble gulch]

Why what... ❤️‍🩹

[serene forge]

if it was 3oak or 4oak i could understand maybe

[serene forge]

explain

[cedar sable]

balatrodle in 2

[chilly yew]

why no
does it trigger before the xmult?

[humble gulch]

The holo, yeah

[ruby vessel]

Idk it just seemed like a good strat. Whenever I go on yt to learn they just have a bunch of kings and r either play five flush or high card

[serene forge]

i know that already

read what i said

the blueprint triggers before the holo on the xmult joker can

[humble gulch]

Sorry, lol

🐑

[serene forge]

🐴

[chilly yew]

oh
well yeah it triggers it meaning +10X2 +10X2

[serene forge]

who do you watch on youtube

the only good person to learn from is balatro university

normal gameplay will almost never look like that nonsense

[humble gulch]

Yeah, in white stake plasma for high score, in higher stakes that's one of the worst thing you can build towards

[chilly yew]

I just watch roffle at 2x speed and stim in my chair

Yt premium joker increases gamespeed by up to 4x

[viral raft]

yeah the run is over

[ruby vessel]

Noted

[chilly yew]

but I sometimes wanna hear his words

[ruby vessel]

Yah admittedly this is my first gold stake and I’m having a hard time

It’s actually why I joined the server lol

[chilly yew]

so I'll go 2-3x

[viral raft]

guys, which one to i pick for stickering?

i already won so i can sell cat

[waxen quartz]

delayed grat out of those. otherwise the foods or uncommons are usually the worst to get

[viral raft]

yeah, atleast Delayed may work on discardless builds

maybe Onyx?

i don't like suit builds

even if they're with clubs

yeah

[waxen quartz]

onyx is pretty good, splash doesn't do much, maybe that one? I'd still go grat, that's pretty useless ante 8

[viral raft]

also is uncommon

[viral raft]

splash is common and sometimes is useful on wee builds

Onyx barely works on end runs

now that i thinking it, onyx imo

[serene forge]

oh my god

i just

[viral raft]

the killer and the victim 🔥

[serene forge]

under bridge neighbors chat message

[viral raft]

Woke talkie or Delayed??? i manage to actually have another joker slot to my stickering

imo Woke, he doesn't works in almost anything and he's mostly a early game joker

wuju

[lime remnant]

golden needle is some bullshit bro

spent all day and 0 progress

[viral raft]

just play straights until it works 👍

Golden needle is easily the most unfair challenge

isn't unlike Jokerless which you can see a way to win consistenly

[lime remnant]

reset until acrobat challenge

[warm wedge]

???

the wiki doenst explain any more

[serene forge]

what is this

[viral raft]

from what is this?

[warm wedge]

teh golden needle

challenge

according to balatro wiki

[lime remnant]

you lose 1 buck every discard

[serene forge]

that's because you lose a dollar per discard

[warm wedge]

ohhh ok

[mental bloom]

golden needle scary

[lime remnant]

0 money from remaining hand im crine

how do i even survive ante 1 do i just reset till mult

[viral raft]

Least unfair straight draw in round 1:

literally all cards appeared once EXCEPT the queens

[warm wedge]

L

js play a lower straight or smth

[bleak blaze]

AND THIS IS WHY FULL HOUSE IS A BETTER HAND THAN STRAIGHTS

Im joking

[ruby vessel]

When does mult become more valuable than chips?

[humble gulch]

The question should be backwards

Mult will always be better than chips in the first antes

[ruby vessel]

Oh interesting

[bleak blaze]

For plasma? Or just in general?

[ruby vessel]

Oh yah ig I should give more context

[humble gulch]

General

[shell dagger]

early on it’s when your chips number is >7x higher than your mult number

[ruby vessel]

So rn I’m on gold stake abandoned deck. Playing a spades straight flush build. Currently my straight flush is lvl 6 so 300 x 28.

Debating whether I cut runner for hanging chad

[viral raft]

is Chaos actually great here???

[ruby vessel]

So that I can get more triggers on lucky cards and Fibonacci

[shell dagger]

it depends what runners at

[ruby vessel]

330

[frank grove]

whats runner at? (wont really matter with lvl6 stursh anyway)

oooh

wait

[shell dagger]

then no

[frank grove]

thats very high

[shell dagger]

runner is a 2x

[humble gulch]

Free reroll + a free slot for overstock+

[frank grove]

way higher than i thought it would be at wow

[shell dagger]

chad only exceeds that if you play a glass card

[viral raft]

that's basically +4 slots per round

seems good to me

also, stickering!

[humble gulch]

I thought you meant it like one time thing

[ruby vessel]

It was my first joker and I played nothing but straights lol

[humble gulch]

I just take rental chaos for the free reroll

[bleak blaze]

I love rental chaos, always a pleasure to see

[viral raft]

imo seems good to keep

Blessed shop

pairslop basically

[bleak blaze]

MISPRINT!!

[coral drum]

The blessed pair build manifests

[bleak blaze]

There needs to be an image or emote with Misprint showing +0 with the caption "Get Misprinted, Idiot"

[coral drum]

Theres even a telescope

Praise be

[viral raft]

yep

[hybrid zealot]

[viral raft]

[cosmic sun]

I dunno guys Obelisk is pretty garbage

[viral raft]

how the hell says that Obelisk is garbage

Obelisk isn't bad, is the player who doesn't know how to pivot with daddy ob

[cosmic sun]

Tell an Obelisk hater they can play flushes after 12 hands and they'll understand

[viral raft]

GEM ALERT

[viral raft]

i found lazy the club boss

[knotty zodiac]

no unlock-all needed 🎤 ⬇️

[viral raft]

his name is club and...counters clubs...

[viral raft]

exactly

i love to 100% my files

Unlock all is only to my 3th file

[zinc sigil]

Ofc I get all this in green stake

[tall sapphire]

I have only 100% more than one game in my life, balatro is tempting me to do that but im not even half way there to completionist++ i havent even gotten to gold stake eyet

yet

[warm wedge]

do i go baron mime

breh

[coral drum]

Accidentally trading carded myself down to 0 cards

Shop 1 trading card stimmed my greed too hard

[knotty zodiac]

gg. did u pick up erosion?

[serene forge]

you should hold r

[serene forge]

i mean yeah you'd probably die with baron on gold stake

[zinc sigil]

Most def

I didnt score until I got mime

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[warm wedge]

y

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

I hate Baron

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 4

[warm wedge]

and what does r do

[serene forge]

try it and see

[ancient gyro]

i think it unlocks mr bones if you do it 5 times

[warm wedge]

ohhh i c

thanks but i alr have mr bones unlocked

[ancient gyro]

well something else happens

[warm wedge]

ik

i found out

the easy way

[ancient gyro]

:P

[warm wedge]

which mean si still have my run

[tall sapphire]

dont ask me why i opened a spectral pack on the first shop, i just tought it would be funny to get Hex with no jokers, it happened.

[long fiber]

ara ara

[serene forge]

awa

[long fiber]

🤭

[serene forge]

not the worst idea tbf since you can get immolate or trans

[long fiber]

🤑

[viral raft]

you can actually buy it and play big bling without jokers

[serene forge]

negative blueprint with a sale price of 7 dollars in buffoon pack

[long fiber]

bet

you lied 😢

😛

[viral raft]

gem alert

[long fiber]

you should buy ride the bus then reroll until baron

[ancient gyro]

swash sucking alert

[viral raft]

i want to believe

GIft card next shop

trust

[viral raft]

Pro players (roffle) mentality 🧠 🔥

[hybrid zealot]

Paredolia and ride the bus is the best joker combination

[viral raft]

Burglar + Marry andy (literally is just burglar with -1 hand size and Joker slot)

thoses are combos 🔥

[hybrid zealot]

If you have 0 hand size do you just loose

[fluid zealot]

The other day I grabbed eternal ride the bus, reroll, saw eternal polychrome business card, “sweet, picking that up immediately”

[long fiber]

🥔🧠

[viral raft]

pair slop alert

[cosmic sun]

pair rough gem

[plain ermine]

what the hell kind of pack is this

[viral raft]

🫁

[ancient gyro]

[viral raft]

The arm doesn't know

[warm wedge]

[viral raft]

Mercury and fool after boss blind

[warm wedge]

ohhh

[ancient gyro]

can't let ppl know that im on a3

[viral raft]

i was lazy at sending the screenshot

[ancient gyro]

it takes more effort to crop the ss than not

[viral raft]

don't care my muscle memory focus on making the ugliest crops ever

[tall sapphire]

do i have to

[viral raft]

yes! is funny to see both die

[serene forge]

most intelligent endless player

[viral raft]

-> dumbest question ever made in human history
-> "possible to naneinf"

[ancient gyro]

that can't be a real sub

[tall sapphire]

If one of them breaks do i still unlock cavendish even though i still have one of em?

[viral raft]

yep!

you just need one "extict!" to make cavedish posible on your pool

[upbeat vector]

Nope!

[tall sapphire]

oh god this run is so dead

one of my bananas just died

it was too much...

[loud gyro]

I want to one in 6 myself

[viral raft]

banana is not going to die at this point

:c

also Swash didn't do shit

sad!

[misty mango]

Strongest swash vs weakest banana

[viral raft]

nah Swash is pretty nice, my fault for buying it without sell value before

[pale wolf]

balatrodle in 3

[viral raft]

[pale wolf]

tarrot raccoon

[viral raft]

so cool!

[stark acorn]

why the fuck are you even taking an ecto with sixth sense in your lineup

[tall sapphire]

The fact that this is perishable kills me...

[stark acorn]

you’ve already got an eternal throwback

there is always another

options.

[hasty harness]

wth is ts joker lineup 💔

[viral raft]

Eternal ThrowBack?

what is this evil lineup

[tall sapphire]

Throwback my beloved

[hasty harness]

[viral raft]

Bones????

[hasty harness]

yeah id say take it

[viral raft]

and i can reroll violet vessel

[terse imp]

guys hows my art so far

[stark acorn]

if your going for seals then nah

[tall sapphire]

i think its better to copy gros michel actually

[viral raft]

wdym seals

[terse imp]

its supposed to be the geo dash level nullscapes btw

[stark acorn]

gold stickers

[tall sapphire]

let blueprint copy throwback and brainstorm the banana

[viral raft]

i won

[viral raft]

nah bones help me to win 100%

trust

[misty mango]

I love bullying verdant leaf

[stark acorn]

all cards debuffed doesn’t mean shit when all my scoring is coming from my levels and jokers

[serene forge]

verdant leaf easier than acorn

[viral raft]

Calculated!

[misty mango]

Worst case scenario verdant just turned every one of your jokers into a luchador

[serene forge]

here win

here pairslop

[viral raft]

here pairslop with minigame

[warm wedge]

twopair?

wait does that deck give you cristal ball or js one extra consumable slot

[rain adder]

Kinda odd pair build but ummm whatever

[serene forge]

[warm wedge]

huhok
