[tall sapphire]

woah

so pretty

Down Bass card when

[knotty zodiac]

is bootstraps ACKsually good here?

[dire sage]

yeah just make sure to have perkeo copy hermit all the time

[tall sapphire]

idk man ur the dude who is usually giving advicce

[weak relic]

Shit

Oh hmm

Idk I just dont really like the joker

[dire sage]

how much mult on the red card

[knotty zodiac]

21

[atomic trout]

Not enough High Card

[serene forge]

no

[atomic trout]

I did NANEIF wrong...

[weak relic]

Huh

Wym naneinf

[terse imp]

it is done

[weak relic]

You're not on the correct deck to begin with

[atomic trout]

Not A Number, Exponent, Infinity

[light brook]

e308, highest possible score you can get

[weak relic]

Son

[weak relic]

Yeah I fucking know

[tall sapphire]

dude i didint realise my balatro hours on discord

[atomic trout]

Basically the kill screen

[weak relic]

I got it thrice throughout this game

[atomic trout]

Then why ask? 🤣

[light brook]

my fault gang i thought you were asking what it was

[weak relic]

No, you can't just naneinf that's what I meant

[atomic trout]

No shit 🤣

[weak relic]

This server really is full of intelligent folks

[light brook]

guys can this naneinf

[atomic trout]

It's Balatro. Nothing professional here 🤣

[terse imp]

you need antimatter and retcon

[light brook]

then i instantly naneinf right

that’s how the pros do it at least

and i’m no amateur

[weak relic]

Wym professional

[atomic trout]

🧅

[terse imp]

you can only do it if youve done c++ at least naneinf times

[atomic trout]

No comment

[tall sapphire]

dude i genuinely have the worst luck ever i was thinking "needle would kill me" guess who showed up

[light brook]

lock in twin ✌️

[knotty zodiac]

didnt take. i think i scale quickly enough w blue seals and red card and finding any xmult prob better

[atomic trout]

Cardshart 😺

[light brook]

card sharp and needle is my favorite combo 🤤

[atomic trout]

Cardsharp doesn't like needles

[light brook]

actually i take that back

paradoelia and ride the bus 🤤

[atomic trout]

With Burglar

[tall sapphire]

yeah i realised

[weak relic]

Rick and burger

[light brook]

oh so true

[tall sapphire]

also my banana just died im ultra fucked

[light brook]

wait how does andy work with burger

[atomic trout]

Only with Burglar

[light brook]

does it add discards after burger or does burger remove the discards andy adds

[warm wedge]

order

?

[tall sapphire]

welp im dead but i find it funny that i got this out of all things perishable

[weak relic]

Same goes. You wont have discards to begin with after choosing a blind and -1 hand size. Talk about synergy

[atomic trout]

Burglar removes all Discards but gives you three new hands

[warm wedge]

shitnergy*

[light brook]

figured

[atomic trout]

Andy gives you Discards

[atomic trout]

It doesn't

[light brook]

got it so the order is andy then burger

[atomic trout]

Burglar takes priority over Discards

[hasty harness]

if you take golden joker maybe

[hasty harness]

i mean you have shops to gain strength in

its not over yet

[tall sapphire]

the thing is

i didnt find anything in the shop that helped me

so i died

[hasty harness]

rip

[atomic trout]

HOLY Royal Flush

[light brook]

i was strushmaxxing this run

[atomic trout]

Four Fingers and short cut?

[tall sapphire]

this build is so funny for no reason

[light brook]

first ever run with good use of neptune???

[atomic trout]

Now just find Smeared Joker

[light brook]

my friends dad had a build once with those plus smeared and he somehow lost

[atomic trout]

What's Neptune again?

[tall sapphire]

did you ever wonder what were the three hidden planets and accidentaly got a five of a kind and go "im so stupid thats so obvious"

[light brook]

upgrades straight flush

[atomic trout]

Five of a Kind, Five Flush 😺

[light brook]

i looked at the wiki and went “oh yeah i would not have figured that out”

[atomic trout]

House Flush

House Flush is weird

[light brook]

i hear a lot of ramble about 6 card hands but i don’t think many realize how problematic it is and how many new hand types that makes

[light brook]

def the least useful of the secret hands

[atomic trout]

And how lame the game would become

[atomic trout]

It's only been done once for the Achievement

[light brook]

same

it’s way harder to draw consistently

you’re better off doing flush five 90% of the time

[atomic trout]

Flushing the House... Needs a buff

[light brook]

when she flush on the house 🤤

why isn’t there a joker specifically for secret hands

“add +20 mult when a secret hand is played”

[atomic trout]

This.

Then again. What jokers would you implement?

[tall sapphire]

Evil blue print, disables the joker to the right

that would be cool

[atomic trout]

Sounds like a challenge

[tall sapphire]

the redprint

[warm wedge]

orangeprint*

[tall sapphire]

no i hate orange

its the reedprint i made it

[atomic trout]

Like Ceremonial Dagger pinned to the left

[light brook]

i don’t think it should be scaling, as by the time you’d get it consistently online you’re already too late ingame to have any use for scaling

honestly a static xmult i would do

or on a scaling idea maybe it could work kinda like obelisk but only for secret hands

like you can’t play the same secret hand twice in a row but it scales xmult

maybe like +.4x per hand

[stone shell]

i would say a rare 5x if a secret hand is played but i think thats a bit much for how easy 5oak is to make

[light brook]

or kinda like a punch card where once you play all 3 either it scales up or gives a huge xmult amount, maybe like 5x or 6x

[plain ermine]

gold stake green deck beaten

honestly expected it to be a lot harder than it was? like this particular run was miserable but not because of rentals and the orange and purple stake runs were easy

[serene forge]

awa

[plain ermine]

idk though, i kinda breezed through my initial stake climbs on plasma and now plasma kills me 90% of the time so i'll probably come back to green deck later and get my ass kicked

black deck after this but that's for tomorrow

[long fiber]

your pfp is very amazing

[plain ermine]

i think it's some kind of alien device

[long fiber]

jimbo food

[serene forge]

frick

[plain ermine]

hex the popcorn. you know you want to.

[long fiber]

wait can hex destroy eternals

[plain ermine]

no

[long fiber]

thats what i thought just checking

[serene forge]

here win

[long fiber]

6 destruction blocker 🥔 (thats me)

[flat tiger]

why immolate even give you $20, killing 5 cards is already strong AF, meawhile wraith takes all your money

[blazing plinth]

We have a Joker that can copy damn near any joker in the game. Having busted things is fun

[plain ermine]

immolate can't be controlled and outside of ghost deck it's rare to get it in your consumables. making you choose between money and deck fixing vs potentially destroying useful cards is fun imo

[blazing plinth]

That too.

[flat tiger]

wraith is rare too, and it sucks

[blazing plinth]

And its entirely random what "rare" joker you get

[plain ermine]

i think it's great that there's a spectral that reliably gives you a hit the road

[flat tiger]

in fact wraith should give you $10, but you need to have an empty slot to use it

[terse imp]

how is my lineup
(ignore the bottom row)

[warm wedge]

???? r u dat reddit guy

[terse imp]

which guy

[long fiber]

what does the far right do 😛

[bronze pollen]

Yo im playing on blue deck

[blazing plinth]

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down

[terse imp]

prob gonna rework it

[long fiber]

amazing card

[bronze pollen]

I got wrathful and jimbo

[warm wedge]

the one who posted the credit card is in the buffoon pack

[brittle ocean]

Useless blueprint, always pinned to the right

[terse imp]

this one?

[warm wedge]

no

[ebon condor]

sphinxian blueprint: copies the joker to the left of the joker with the sell price closest to the median

[warm wedge]

what the fuck happened to my reddit

[cosmic sun]

layout lowkey better than the current

[naive frigate]

I GENUINELY just thought of the most offensive sentence in my life

[warm wedge]

lol

[warm wedge]

???

[tall sapphire]

useless brainstorm: always pinned to the left

[naive frigate]

It is not about you brotato chill

[tall sapphire]

perfect combo

[naive frigate]

Wouldn't it just

Copy the card to the right

[warm wedge]

like what the fuck is this (at 80 % zoom)

[warm wedge]

dms?

[warm wedge]

it would ocpy itself

self obsessed

[naive frigate]

Rare brainstorm l

[serene forge]

I hate Rare Tag

[tall sapphire]

its brainstorm

[serene forge]

I hate Negative Tag

[naive frigate]

I would rather not

[naive frigate]

Yeah cuz it ignores itself

[warm wedge]

ok

[long fiber]

i love negative tag 😍

[naive frigate]

But apparently it doesn't

[serene forge]

blocked

[naive frigate]

W negative tag

[long fiber]

several people are is sad now 😢

-# /silly 😛

[serene forge]

i'm sorry

[bronze pollen]

I was on the second ante of big blind i got 1480

[stone shell]

mightve been the greatest judgement of all time hol' up

[long fiber]

🤭 😛

[stone shell]

completely dodges madness

[serene forge]

holy shit lmfao

[naive frigate]

W flush

[serene forge]

now just hope it doesn't copy chaos...

[naive frigate]

IRL poker is more boring than balatro

[long fiber]

ara ara

[serene forge]

actually

[warm wedge]

nat neg blue joker?

[serene forge]

what even happens if you get 2 chaos the clowns

[bronze pollen]

I had wrathful as well

[warm wedge]

2 free rolls?

[stone shell]

the zero rerolls do stack

[serene forge]

oh wow

[naive frigate]

I tried poker but it was ass so balatro better

[long fiber]

they eat each other and you die

i think

[serene forge]

I guess that does make sense

[long fiber]

balatro cannibalism 😨

[stone shell]

i mean nobody complained when madness did it

[stone shell]

nevermind :P

okay to be fair it was a 50/50 between xmult and not

[bleak blaze]

Greatest one for me was Judgement into a nat neg Brainstorm

[tall sapphire]

thats ur whole purpose you stupid

[long fiber]

its giving perishable popcorn

[naive frigate]

No but

Damn

[long fiber]

i mean the vibe

i got that before it was funny

[naive frigate]

There's actually no explanation for perishable popcorn to exist

[stone shell]

i dont know if im more pissed that i accidentally got a full madness roster or that tribe STILL didnt show up with double chaos

[naive frigate]

I didin't think it was possible

[naive frigate]

Eternal madness is crazy work

[long fiber]

perishable shouldn't be on cards that eternal can't be on

[naive frigate]

Why not tho

It makes sense on invis

[stone shell]

it was an ante 1 pickup from buffoon pack :P

[naive frigate]

Wow

[long fiber]

useless but it would be funny never mind

[naive frigate]

You can be saving invis for 3 antes

[stone shell]

i think perishables are fine on food jokers tbh

[naive frigate]

Aren't perishable jokers cheaper

[stone shell]

nope

[naive frigate]

What about gros michel

Cavendish

[long fiber]

i think rentals are though

[stone shell]

you pay the full cost for a faulty copy

[naive frigate]

Rentals cost $1

[naive frigate]

Just like irl

[stone shell]

its still fine

[serene forge]

I hate persona 5 royal

[errant hull]

How are we ladies and gents

[heavy heron]

i sense a gay lesbian hornet

[serene forge]

hey

[heavy heron]

ohh that's where it was coming from

hello there

[flat tiger]

unlike most people I enjoyed the pokemon part but the story/game itself not so much

i guess my collector brain is at work

[warm wedge]

i sense... litearlly nothing

my senses arent sensing

[long fiber]

🤭

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[naive frigate]

Got some news for you biggest of the dawgs

[knotty zodiac]

the uranus victory lap

[flat tiger]

WTF is that red card

[warm wedge]

red card ❌
shiny card ✅

[atomic trout]

Another victory

[digital pewter]

on my new profile i've unlocked all jokers excluding the four legendaries, as well as mr bones

we're so goated

[flat tiger]

is it just better to not unlock those bad jokers until you need stickers on them

[digital pewter]

i mean, it kinda depends on which jokers one considers bad

having more options is usually better than not

[atomic trout]

Or use the cheat profile

[digital pewter]

they've all got a use one way or another

[flat tiger]

satellite?

[atomic trout]

Nope

Cloud 9 is better

[foggy sun]

very interesting run I had here

[atomic trout]

Rocket is best

[atomic trout]

Careful about that blade

[foggy sun]

Hey, I always park it behind an eternal when im not scaling.

[digital pewter]

oh yeah and i unlocked the unholy bloodstone this run

[foggy sun]

And yes chat, the holo was nat negative. easily carried the run

[atomic trout]

I can't move this dagger

[digital pewter]

that was the entire point of me doing it lol

oh and on painted deck for the win with less than 4 jokers one

[flat tiger]

i wont cry about not having blood stone or onyx in the pool

or idol

or hit the road

[foggy sun]

Chat, give me a random deck to try to gold stake randomly. I need the entertainment of challenging myself

(i got all gold stake, i just want a random deck to pick)\

[flat tiger]

black deck

[atomic trout]

Hit the Road suuuuuuuuuucks

It's a cheaper version of the campfire

[foggy sun]

I'll win first try to prove a point\

[atomic trout]

On Gold Stakes?

[foggy sun]

Yes

[flat tiger]

like i said theres quite a few jokers that I wont mind not being in the pool, in fact some of them I never use or want to use

[foggy sun]

Ok I got a two hander on blank. its over

black*

[atomic trout]

Sorry. Wasn't paying attention

[atomic trout]

There's many Jokers nobody wants to use

I like Jimbo

[foggy sun]

Ok... this isn't going terribly... wouldve loved to get voucher but the rocket plus jolly is just gonna be important rn

[shy tapir]

hi

[atomic trout]

Rocket!!

[foggy sun]

I love the ever so reliable rocket

[atomic trout]

Best eco Joker

And on Black Deck

[foggy sun]

judgement having a brainstorm is genuinely miserable

because... I HAVE NOTHING TO COPY

well I do... just not enough to survive

[flat tiger]

popcorn is good to copy at this stage

[foggy sun]

Yes, but im struggling because once it goes, im basically toast rn

[atomic trout]

Can't kill.... Bones

Don't make me do it!

[foggy sun]

this game has a sense of humour...

[flat tiger]

no shit, thats the game, you need some scoring, if game give you nothing you die

[foggy sun]

Yeah...

[atomic trout]

What, it's just an ordinary game.. oh my goodness!

[foggy sun]

do i take the parking PURELY because it is chips and i need them badly

[knotty zodiac]

parking econ is great

[flat tiger]

why you put popcorn on right

[foggy sun]

because its poly chrome... and therefore... xmult

might sell for the parking rn

[knotty zodiac]

and it's 4 now

[flat tiger]

foil is good at this stage

[ember glen]

was begging for a trading card the entire run
ended up not getting it but i still won!
ghost deck and hologram is so incredibly busted

[ember glen]

wait
not trading card

[flat tiger]

i dont always get hologram but when I do standard packs go extint every time

[ember glen]

drivers license!

[atomic trout]

Goodbye Mr. Bones

[ember glen]

mr bones on early antes ❤️‍🩹 ❤️‍🩹

WAIT
WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[misty mango]

Holo is at 1.75, my deck is roughly 80% clubs/spades....
am I buying the dna and betraying square joker?

low stake so honestly this doesnt matter at all

but the decision is still escaping me

[ember glen]

what's your levels looking like

[knotty zodiac]

lmao what is this run

forced blueprint and now

[misty mango]

like all level 2s

had to get that red card up

it worked! square and red card are trashing blinds

but i cant scale square fast enough

cause i keep winning too soon

[ember glen]

probably keep the square
the dna isn't too useful i think

[misty mango]

yeah but the holo and three of a kind feel like my win conditions

[ember glen]

red card to the right?

[ember glen]

oh true
i kinda forgot holo existed
yeah take dna

[misty mango]

i do that, its red stake lol

[lime remnant]

oh my GOD

BRO I DIDNT READ THE BOSS BLIND AND SKIPPED THE SHORTCUT LIKE AN IDIOT

[misty mango]

its white stake just win with the 3oak /s

I hate forgetting about boss blinds

[lime remnant]

omg i could have won the blind if i used the justice

what am i on

[atomic trout]

Why not Ancient Joker. I'll use them on the debuffed Spades 🤣

[echo sphinx]

me when.. uh.. idk

[flat tiger]

me when I make a bunch of wild cards and 4 boss blind shuts me down:

[tall sapphire]

I think spanish lenguage achievements in balatro are broken

in steam

This is the achievement i got for playing a royal flush, the description says break two glass cards in a single hand, which is the achievement for shattered

[flat tiger]

REAL!

[thorn kraken]

Anyone got general tip for highscoring in baltro? It feels like a lot of videos where people hit insanely high numbers are super rng dependant with them finding everything they need for a perfect combo underhalf way through the run

[tall sapphire]

now looking for it, this achievement is for winning a run without rerolling the shop, the description for it says "Have a Deck with more than 80 cards"

[brittle ocean]

Make a build to get a ton of money so you can reroll the shop for what you need

Still rng dependent with vouchers but with enough money you should be able to get the jokers you need (typically baron mime and a bunch of copy jokers)

And get diet colas to sell for double tags for voucher skips

[atomic trout]

My god... What a team 😸

[lime remnant]

pensive

[crisp perch]

One of the weirdest builds I’ve had so far

[humble gulch]

That's just normal gold stake

That's the most normal looking thing ever

[crisp perch]

I was taking grim from spectrals

[humble gulch]

Also pretty normal

Grim is pretty good even without hologram

I love grim

[crisp perch]

Is this normal too then 🥀

[humble gulch]

Yeah, not that...

[crisp perch]

Main rzn y the run was weird

I was running pairs n somehow winning

That’s a nice ace

[abstract jackal]

whats the best deck to get the "30 suits in your deck" jokers?

[humble gulch]

Pairs are the best hand to build towards

[abstract jackal]

i needa get the diamond one for all jokers

[crisp perch]

🩵

[humble gulch]

Zodiac

[crisp perch]

How nice of balatro to give me a good r8 boss blind for once

[abstract jackal]

ty❤️

[crisp perch]

Checkered is also like 2 tarots away if u need hearts n spades

[patent sail]

i just died to serpent

impossible

[patent sail]

i feel like erratic might be better

thats where i got mine

but it does take an orange stake win to unlock if you dont have it

[past locust]

Chat, what should i sell

Should i get rid of lucha

Ima get ricd of lucha

[ionic badge]

chicot incoming

[thin finch]

this bish cant decide what direction he wanna go

thats greedy joker in the poly yeh

[tall sapphire]

i wanna 1 in 6 myself

i was about to do my first orange stake win dudeee

[past locust]

Mofo ima beat cho ahh

[heavy heron]

NOO DONT SAY THAT

[abstract jackal]

orange stake is to hard for my brain

[heavy heron]

orange stake is hard but you got next one trust trust

you got violet vessel’d..

[slow iris]

got rid of a luchador and got a better luchador in return

🔥

[heavy heron]

any other boss you win, it is what it is

[tall sapphire]

i hope so

[tall sapphire]

yes i got bad luck

[heavy heron]

ikr amber acorn got nothing on ya

[tall sapphire]

also in the early stage of the run i barely got twos in hand so i didnt upgrade wee joker that much, just barely enough to keep going, later i even got to play five of a kinds of twos

[heavy heron]

yeah it kinda sucks when you don’t get many opportunities to fix your deck the way you need it

[past locust]

Arcana or buffoon 🤔

[heavy heron]

tarot packs sometimes just aren’t enough, and tarot jokers (or purple seals) just aren’t guaranteed finds

[past locust]

Ion have nough enhance cards

[slow iris]

it's gonna be hard to get some if you're not saving your money for interest

[past locust]

NAT NEG

But damn, i have no money

Should i?

[clear mulch]

worst nat negative ever?

negative isnt always good

you arent forced to take them

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[past locust]

Crypt the k or the j

Im gonna tyrn them all into clubs anyways

After i get gluttony joker

[thorn kraken]

this hiker is kinda goated

[past locust]

Two souls in two runs in a row

Ima get rich of greedy

[humble gulch]

Showman

[past locust]

Eh

I got trib

[clear mulch]

true

[humble gulch]

As much as I hate trib, it might be useful

[warm wedge]

next round

[past locust]

I lost that run

[warm wedge]

i lost a lot of my run

[warm wedge]

so r u going for clubs or diamons

[past locust]

Worst neg tag

I got holo

But wait

[warm wedge]

hol

e

[past locust]

Should i get it

Im gonna get hella lot cards

[lime remnant]

no dont bloat your deck

[dapper ferry]

What can be the best joker order for scoring here

[tall sapphire]

im on ante 2 i have goten 4 tags, im not taking em though i need to scale

[vale shale]

Food morning

Helo gamers. 1 take gold stake run any deck. Which deck are we thinking bout.

[dapper ferry]

Guys please!

[vale shale]

Photo

[dapper ferry]

Really? How ?

[vale shale]

It's actually the same thing I think

If you copy chad it's 12 trigs of photo

If you copy photo it's also 12 trigs

If my math is correct

[dapper ferry]

Copy the cat for best score ig

?

[vale shale]

Nop

Photo or chad is better

Than 21x

[thorn kraken]

I love getting peak mime settup and then watching as I spend like $60 rerolling to still end up with 2 steel cards

[vale shale]

Are you doing pair?

[thorn kraken]

this game hates me

heres the amazing jokers and shit cards

[humble gulch]

I can finally sticker Perkeo and get Chicot, Canio and Yorick again 😭

[flat tiger]

grossbo carry

[vale shale]

Percocetkeo

I like how to te game detects a new legendary if you haven't got it gold stickered

[fringe nebula]

anaglyph

as always

[dapper ferry]

Flush five mate

[flat tiger]

its just 2.5 flush pairs

[vale shale]

Analglyph

[vale shale]

Copy chad or photo you have allat of rounds to know which is better to copy

Lucky cat is just worse overall

Or you can use a balatro calculator

[dapper ferry]

Okay ill test it

[dapper ferry]

I didn’t though about that and didn’t knew

Thanks man

Ill check it out

[humble gulch]

I hate Perkeo so much

[hoary moon]

i think u copy cat here

[tall sapphire]

second time losing the last blind on orange stake....

this is what happens when i need eternal jokers for madness to work and the game decides to not give me any

[hoary moon]

wait no chad

[tall sapphire]

having to rely on missprint is bad

[hoary moon]

"why did i lose with 3 +mult jokers"

[tall sapphire]

bro

i have madness

that limits me to eternal jokers only

[hoary moon]

oh lmao

[tall sapphire]

i cant have base mult

i relied on planet cards

and whatever the shop gave me

[dapper ferry]

Yeah exactly

@hoary moon
Which joker should i be looking for and for what

I got 600 bucks

[hoary moon]

look for red seals

[thorn kraken]

I think this is gonna be good

[grim willow]

can someone help me with a naneinf run rq i posted the situation in run discussion

[hoary moon]

and any utility jokers so you can pivot to idol

[tall sapphire]

this is so cursed

[dapper ferry]

Ive never played idol before
How does that work here

[hoary moon]

if you thin our your deck

to only kings

it goes crazy

[thorn kraken]

haha real funny game

[dapper ferry]

But isnt that like 5 kings played
@hoary moon

[thorn kraken]

im playing 5oak kings and it gives me this

very funny

[raven raven]

always a baron seed

[thorn kraken]

ante 9 isnt a baron seed

[raven raven]

u just didnt see it early

it was there

[hoary moon]

idol works for only king decks

and better if theyre only 1 suit

it needs HEAVY deck fixing

[dapper ferry]

😭like how

[cedar sable]

hanged man

or trading card

[dapper ferry]

Dont have joker slot

[cedar sable]

or anything that removes cards in general

[cedar sable]

then hanged man

[dapper ferry]

Yes im doing that already

And should i look for blueprint
Replacing socknbusk

?

[cedar sable]

what's your current jokers rn

[hoary moon]

sokc and buskin not doing much

[hoary moon]

you could change it for a utility joker

[dapper ferry]

Grinding for cat ?

[hoary moon]

cat doesnt need more grinding

[cedar sable]

yeah get rid of sock imo

until you only have face cards left

[hoary moon]

LMAO

[thorn kraken]

bruh I played all my kings in my deck and now im cooked

[cedar sable]

ALL BARONS NO MIME

[dapper ferry]

Okay what utility jokers

[cedar sable]

also why bull

[fringe nebula]

utility is utility
extra discard or extra hand size for example

[hoary moon]

deck fixing, tarot generators, economy

[thorn kraken]

if only I didnt spend all my econ fishing for literally anything to replace my utility jokers

and finding nothing

[hoary moon]

js anything that could help your build

[dapper ferry]

Oh shoot

[dapper ferry]

Okay got it

[thorn kraken]

look at my jokers for me juggler and toubedor are both utility jokers

[cedar sable]

damn you only have 1 6

[humble gulch]

I almost didn't recognize you

[cedar sable]

i was about to say try to get sixth sense

[fringe nebula]

what's wrong?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/430234093972619265.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[cedar sable]

but with that low amounts of 6

don't

[humble gulch]

New pfp 🐑

[fringe nebula]

I thought my previous pfp share similar vibes to this one

[cedar sable]

uhhh you might need deck fixing

and flat mults

[fickle glen]

genuinely looked at this in Warframe and was like "oh Balatro reference!"

[humble gulch]

Except that I can't see anything

[thorn kraken]

look I draw 10 cards, and i got like 10 kings

and I play 5oak

[cedar sable]

then you need flat mult

[thorn kraken]

with my glass kings

[cedar sable]

wait

lemme check again

[thorn kraken]

4x then 3x then 4x then 2x

and I was hitting respectable millions

[cedar sable]

i would get retriggers

like sock

or seltzer

[thorn kraken]

he never showed up

[cedar sable]

damn

[fringe nebula]

your discord is pixelated

[thorn kraken]

I wanted to drop my hand size jokers since ante 8

I died ante 11

[cedar sable]

why don't you do it

[thorn kraken]

MY ENTIRE SHOP WAS COMMONS EXCEPT THE BAROMIME THAT SHOWED UP THE FIRST SHOP AFTER I WON

[humble gulch]

Discord saves information by turning images into a lower quality

[cedar sable]

how many spectral packs do you opened

[thorn kraken]

like none

[cedar sable]

.

no wonder

[thorn kraken]

I buy spectral cards in the shop but packs are rare

[cedar sable]

ok so like

I'm guessing that you didn't get deja vu

[thorn kraken]

Ive found like 2 packs my last like 4 runs combined

[cedar sable]

and i forgot what mime does

lemme check

[thorn kraken]

mime retriggers all hand effects

[vale shale]

Generational tag save

[thorn kraken]

baron gives 1.5x per king in hand

[humble gulch]

Real

[thorn kraken]

i was playing 5oak kings

[cedar sable]

guh

mime is

retrigger in hand

not playing hand

then yeah it sucks

death of no retriggers

either that or no base mult

[thorn kraken]

cant run base mult

[cedar sable]

uhh planet cards

[thorn kraken]

no shit

[cedar sable]

also why

[thorn kraken]

brainstorm copies the effect of the joker furthest to the left

which is my 4x joker

[tall sapphire]

i did it

[thorn kraken]

if I wanted base mult it would need to go before the times mult or it wouldnt be worth using

[tall sapphire]

after two ante 8 boss blind fails i made it barely

[thorn kraken]

that overides my brainstorm

[cedar sable]

I'm talking about base mult from planet cards

[thorn kraken]

and instead of 4x 3x 4x 2x

[cedar sable]

if you played glass cards

i wouldn't recommend using flat mult jokers

i would prefer get planet cards instead

[thorn kraken]

WHO DO YOU THINK I AM WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NOT USE ANY PLANET CARDS WHATSOEVER WHEN I HAVE FUCKING CONSTILATION THE JOKER THAT GETS BUFFED EVERY TIME I USE A PLANET CARD

[cedar sable]

in that way i get more scoring

[thorn kraken]

ITS LIKE

[cedar sable]

whatever

[thorn kraken]

NO DUH

[cedar sable]

I'm not talking ts anymore

[thorn kraken]

thats like saying id prefer using jokers to get higher score

[echo sphinx]

😳 +15 chips

[ancient acorn]

is there a way to play 3 player balatro?

[cedar sable]

I don't think so

[ancient acorn]

4 player?

[cedar sable]

no

[ancient acorn]

i got the game for 2 others

[cedar sable]

only 2 i think

[cedar sable]

oh

uhhhh

[ancient acorn]

thats insane

[cedar sable]

idk

[thorn kraken]

what are the odds its definitly gonna destroy brainstorm

[tall sapphire]

well

50/50

because

its two jokers

[echo sphinx]

it either gets destroyed or it doesn't
5050

[thorn kraken]

well actually its 100% because its the joker I want to keep

[tall sapphire]

yeah if u think it that way ur right

[thorn kraken]

thats why I skipped that blind

and went to the boss

[tall sapphire]

thats why u only run madness on purple stake or higher

otherwise is just gamble it all

put a lot of food in there so it doesnt die

[echo sphinx]

no guarantees

[humble gulch]

Just sell them

[thorn kraken]

as long as this riff raff stays ill be fine

[thorn kraken]

well no I want brainstorm

[humble gulch]

You're just fine with only madness

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling

[humble gulch]

Why 💔

[thorn kraken]

double madness with brainstorm

[echo sphinx]

this is truly madness

[thorn kraken]

actually new question if I double madness with like anhk or something will they destroy each other?

[humble gulch]

But madness can't scale, madness is better without brainstorm

[humble gulch]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

they will play a musical chair with 1 seat

[thorn kraken]

wdum madness scales a lot

[humble gulch]

It won't scale if you keep skipping

[icy turret]

LOL

Finally found the last ankh

[echo sphinx]

what the fuck

[thorn kraken]

shit like this is why I never trust youtube videos on how to get better scores in balatro

because every video of someone playing ends up with stuff like that

[echo sphinx]

lol

go to balatro uni for actual guides

[icy turret]

skill issue

[thorn kraken]

I swear every other balatro video is seeded

[icy turret]

This was unseeded shockingly

[thorn kraken]

yeah keep telling yourself that

[echo sphinx]

diabolical run

[icy turret]

lol

[thorn kraken]

I just entirely doubt you found 4 anhks in the same run when they show up maybe once per 10 runs on average

[echo sphinx]

highrolls feel "seeded" and are too different from how most runs should be won

[humble gulch]

Ghost deck make it so spectrals can appear on the shop

It's actually pretty easy

Even more with card blocking

[thorn kraken]

ive been playing ghost deck this entire fucking time I see a spectral card in the shop every 20 fucking rerolls

IVE FISHED WITH HUNDREDS NOTHING

[humble gulch]

It's a matter of RNG at that point, just because someone got lucky doesn't mean it's seeded

I actually have a lot of runs with ankh spam

Lol

[thorn kraken]

im told rng doesnt matter in this game

people said rng isnt actually a factor

[icy turret]

Its ghost deck dude

[humble gulch]

Yeah, it doesn't, you don't need 4 ankhs every run

[echo sphinx]

rng is the factor what

[thorn kraken]

you just want me to believe that picking ghost deck suddenly gave you lottery odds

[echo sphinx]

the entire game is based on chance

[icy turret]

Rng matters some but its mitigated a lot by having good econ

[thorn kraken]

nope actually just have good econ

[icy turret]

Kinda hard to not have money for rerolls when everything is lucky and gold sealed

[humble gulch]

RNG is mitigated by knowing how to use the things you get

[thorn kraken]

RNG is mitigated by just starting with every econ card in the first shop and finding the most broken combo on the first reroll of every shop

[humble gulch]

I think you are little mad

[thorn kraken]

its all I ever see for any posted run is perfect deck construction and 0 wasted joker slots with like 2 gold cards worth of econ

[echo sphinx]

hot take
u both spouting nonsense

[thorn kraken]

im stuck over here with like 50 gold cards of econ 50 rerolls down the drain to find all commons for the 50th time in a row

or another stupid ass suit changing tarot card that does nothing

[humble gulch]

You don't need any crazy jokers to win tho

Or deck fixing

[thorn kraken]

you do

[echo sphinx]

rng is rng
it defines what choices to take to beat the run

u cant just "mitigate it" by knowing how to use it

[thorn kraken]

becuase you lose without it

[echo sphinx]

rng lol

[cloud sinew]

no such seed exists

[echo sphinx]

this is super rng

[cloud sinew]

yes you can

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt mean you can do whatever and win all the time

[thorn kraken]

constilation is one of the most consistent joker cards in the entire game and imo one of the best choices always considerng you can reroll insane amounts of planet cards to stack it high

im seeing really good jokers here still

[lost vault]

meow

[echo sphinx]

also rng

[icy turret]

Chat this is so sad

[humble gulch]

Then everything would be RNG, what's your point ❤️‍🩹

[thorn kraken]

hologram is more rng dependant then constilation due to the amount of packs and stuff but still its really easy to make them op

[cloud sinew]

just because there are random elements doesnt mean you are at the mercy of RNG. whether you win a run or not is dictated by your choices, not RNG

[humble gulch]

I almost died 4 times here ❤️‍🩹

[icy turret]

I I just entirely doubt you found 4 planet cards in the same run when they show up maybe once per 10 runs on average

[humble gulch]

Real

[cloud sinew]

a seed can have RNG that allows for more mistakes to be made, but there isnt a known seed that isnt winnable.

[humble gulch]

Blaming the RNG for losing it's most of the time just a skill issue

[thorn kraken]

planet cards are in every shop, not like spectral cards which are far far rarer

[shell dagger]

planet cards are not in every shop considering you have finite money

[icy turret]

.

[echo sphinx]

slightly inaccurate
a successful run requires both rng and skill

[shell dagger]

naur

[cloud sinew]

"requires" RNG?

how?

[humble gulch]

Nope

[shell dagger]

doc has shown that not to be the case

all a successful run requires is beating ante 8

[echo sphinx]

if game decides to hand out eternal rentals and no planets early, how to beat?

empress two cards and pray

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt make it unwinnable

also

theres a seed with only planets in shop

[icy turret]

XC5HYT86

[cloud sinew]

and its winnable

[icy turret]

o7 was fun

[shell dagger]

a run doesn’t require gold stake to be winnable

[past locust]

Should i get rid of greedy for Smiley

[echo sphinx]

nice

[shell dagger]

sure

[past locust]

Its better mult and i have chad

[cloud sinew]

depends on the jokers

[echo sphinx]

sounds beatable with careful glassin

[humble gulch]

"That's RNG"

[echo sphinx]

yes

the game is fundamentally rng

and agree with lilo

rhat skill can make up most of it

[cloud sinew]

all of it

prove me wrong by finding an unbeatable seed

[echo sphinx]

lol thatll take epns

[icy turret]

Tarot and spectral blocking, managing econ and buy order are huge

[cloud sinew]

any deck any stake

[echo sphinx]

that sounds fun ngl

instead of finding neg perkeo ante 1 its find a seed that cant be beaten

probably not "period" but "cant be beaten without future information"

[cloud sinew]

those are both the same thing

[past locust]

I remove card for blueprint?

[icy turret]

Id sell smiley

[cedar sable]

smiley imo

[shell dagger]

business if you don’t care about endless

[cloud sinew]

if it can be beaten with future info then it can be beaten without it

[icy turret]

Money is too good

[past locust]

Okey, smiley it is

[cedar sable]

and i would retrigger trib

for it

[echo sphinx]

if the seed tells you to take an emperor shop ante 1 small blind because it spits out useless tarots that conveniently blocks for hermit to show up, no. not same

[shell dagger]

but some people would’ve made that decision

doesn’t mean it was the decision that led to the highest chance of winning

[cloud sinew]

yes it is. you dont need future info to be able to make that decision

[echo sphinx]

taking emperor ante 1 small blind results in $0 after an unlucky buffoon

[shell dagger]

like how in some doc video it was a very close run that he died to first try and all the comments were saying if you open the arcana pack in shop 1 you’ll get holo rocket from judgement

no rightminded winstreak player would do that, but clearly people did

[echo sphinx]

are you seriously blocking with 0 interest

[shell dagger]

some people are

[echo sphinx]

i would cuz im greedy

i shouldnt

[lost vault]

meow again

[echo sphinx]

meow

[cloud sinew]

so then your argument is moot

[echo sphinx]

tine to pull out random orange stake

[cloud sinew]

if even you would do it without future info then you understand what im saying about it being the same

[echo sphinx]

i do it because my decison making is bad

[lost vault]

okay but without future info youd have to play pretty strangely

[echo sphinx]

i hex ankh knowing its worse than trance cryptid

[lost vault]

presumable

yo

[cloud sinew]

there is no proven optimal strategy, so theres no way to show that something isnt optimal without furure info

[shell dagger]

have you seen the gameplay from this server

[lost vault]

yea

[shell dagger]

ye

[echo sphinx]

lol

thats a different kind of strange

taking a small blind tarot pack for hermit for one extra dollar which is needed to exact change aj because you know there's deckfixing tarots and Trading card ahead is not something that would be considered "normal" by any stretch

[cloud sinew]

but you dont need future info in order to make that decision

[sturdy lotus]

i just got the game, is the best way to progress to make builds with your jokers?

[echo sphinx]

the best scenario without future info is to simply gamble the buffoon pack

[icy turret]

This is so dumb

[echo sphinx]

yes you do

[humble gulch]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

you don't know there's a hermit in the pack without buying it

[cloud sinew]

no you dont. you have the option to make that choice even if you dont know about it

[cloud sinew]

and you could just buy it

and then find out

its not off limits

[echo sphinx]

yeah and lose more runs

[cloud sinew]

prove it

[echo sphinx]

you prove it

im worse

im trying to play better

[shell dagger]

people already do that

[cloud sinew]

you made the claim, twin.

[shell dagger]

not everyone is gunning for 100% winstreak

[echo sphinx]

coupd make ir as convoluted as i want and you'll still say "yeah people would do that"

[shell dagger]

exactly

[echo sphinx]

ok

[cloud sinew]

exactly

[icy turret]

Because they could and would

[echo sphinx]

lets say this particular seed has a midas vampire

[shell dagger]

there’s only a finite number of actions

[echo sphinx]

but its locked behind 13 rerolls on ante 2

[icy turret]

Confirmation bias is eating good in this chat

[echo sphinx]

and nothing else of value other than like. earth neptune mars in planet pack

[icy turret]

Those are valuable

[shell dagger]

that’s very different

before we were talking about decisions directly available to the player

if you can’t make that money in ante 2 obviously nobody will find it

[cloud sinew]

also 13 rerolls is likely impossible that early

~$150 by ante 2

[humble gulch]

And if you can, you don't need midas vampire

[shell dagger]

ye

[cloud sinew]

less if spread between shops, but still

[echo sphinx]

and the only way to achieve that only win con is to block a very specific tarot to repeatedly get hermits

[shell dagger]

so the money can be made

[echo sphinx]

which switches every reroll (that is, buying like Justice to block a future Justice)

[cloud sinew]

if thats the only win con, and its possible, then yes

[shell dagger]

and refer to the previous argument

[cedar sable]

WoF mindset trust

i wouldn't open it either

[shell dagger]

95% of people wouldn’t

(going for gold stake win streak)

[cedar sable]

if doc's joker setup is good

[cloud sinew]

just because i wouldnt do it doesnt mean it isnt optimal

[echo sphinx]

the hypothetical scenario says this is the optimal and only win condition

[cedar sable]

btw gl on last 8 cards

[lost vault]

its actually quite impossible to be perfectly optimal on a random seed i think

[cedar sable]

what was the cards anyways

[echo sphinx]

no square no Dusk no Banner

[shell dagger]

square???

[cloud sinew]

okay?

[shell dagger]

wat

[echo sphinx]

pareidolia is one of them.

i sob

[cedar sable]

rip

if you don't have canio tho

[cloud sinew]

we already said if its possible and the only win con then yes, refer to previous argument

[cedar sable]

with gold sticker

it goes hard

with pareidolia

[echo sphinx]

ye if i could get it

[lost vault]

balatro chat always has the strangest debates

[cedar sable]

reroll until soul trust /j

[icy turret]

Also decision making to get to this point isnt THAT far fetched.

[shell dagger]

there’s no arbitrary line where it gets crossed when the decision making is too weird

[cedar sable]

(horrible idea)

[icy turret]

Like if you are in a run and just ask yourself what the run is missing, and what you need to do to fix that you MAY come to that win con

[echo sphinx]

buying Sun to block a the next Sun to get a Fool is very farfetched

[cedar sable]

for gold stake runs (if i want to do it soon)

[cloud sinew]

not really

[cedar sable]

what should i manage first

[icy turret]

It really is not

[echo sphinx]

and more so if i make it even more convoluted and say

[cloud sinew]

i do it all the time

[cedar sable]

econ or deck fixing

[echo sphinx]

you need to block with Hermit to get a Fool

[icy turret]

I do that all the time to farm deaths

[lost vault]

tarot blocking is a pretty common practice what are you waffling about

[echo sphinx]

and on and on it goes

[cedar sable]

s*n

[echo sphinx]

ye i also do that

[lost vault]

why block a hermit to get a hermit

[cedar sable]

I would never use s*n in my life

for a reason

[cloud sinew]

so then why did you say its very far fetched

[past locust]

Ecto?

[strong pier]

I had to do it to them

[cedar sable]

ecto

imo

i forgot what grim does

[past locust]

3 reacts and i ecto

[humble gulch]

Probably too early

[shell dagger]

hex!

[icy turret]

have hermit + fool in inventory
Use hermit first before rerolling/opening packs/next shop
If you find hermit again, use it and then fool's hermit

[echo sphinx]

because buying The Sun with no interest to your name is usually bad

[cedar sable]

genuis

[shell dagger]

people still do it

[cloud sinew]

just because its usually bad doesnt mean its not optimal

[shell dagger]

also it’s not unrealistic if you have the hook or something

anything to guarantee the 5 card hand

[cedar sable]

the hook

[echo sphinx]

ok fine i guess we just need to find a seed that's this diabolical

[shell dagger]

again

[cloud sinew]

"we" 🥀
no twin, you do.

[echo sphinx]

then only can the say "the game needa some rng"

[humble gulch]

But blocking with hermit to get a fool doesn't mean that there is a hermit there but it can't appear since you already have hermit and instead it summons a fool?

Why blocking then?

[cloud sinew]

they arent blocking with a hermit

[icy turret]

Not blocking

[cloud sinew]

theyre keeping the Fool as a Hermit

[humble gulch]

Ah

[icy turret]

Leaving hermit in the card pool so its possible to encounter again

[humble gulch]

🐑

[icy turret]

people use fool to fast all the time

I hold onto that lil dude if i can

[lost vault]

fool for hermit always

[echo sphinx]

block hermit to get a fool then buy the fool and reroll to buy hanged man instead of the star and a tarot gets blocked twice to encounter hermit again which is conveniently enough for the win condition

[lost vault]

trust

[lost vault]

um what

[echo sphinx]

if someone does that then im gg

[cedar sable]

how does one get joker role

[lost vault]

thunk gave it to me

[cedar sable]

ah

[lost vault]

(initially)

idk avout others

[minor portal]

bribery.

[echo sphinx]

if someone does that then im gg

[cedar sable]

hollup

[thorn kraken]

well it seems ive played too greedy

[cedar sable]

lemme remove a boost

[lost vault]

um why

[thorn kraken]

I need more deck fixing

[lost vault]

im so confused what ar u trying to prove here

[cedar sable]

only 3 days but still worth it

[echo sphinx]

"balatro requires some level of RNG to win"

[lost vault]

i mean

[echo sphinx]

never saying skill isn't a factor

[lost vault]

its not required

but

it usually is

[cedar sable]

lol it adds nothing

[lost vault]

just not always

reason

no impossible seed has been found

i think!!

[cedar sable]

literally no cool server role no cool tag no new awesome channel

xd

whatever it'll going to end in 3 days

[thorn kraken]

I think if I get a hit on one of these lucky tags I probably live

[echo sphinx]

we haven't been searching hard for impossible seeds

[icy turret]

Bad rng makes it harder.
Good rng makes it easier
Well thought out decisions mitigate bad luck and make good decisions even more valuable

[shell dagger]

weird, you used to get a pink name

[humble gulch]

There is a server tag

[lost vault]

pretty sure theres a booster role

[cedar sable]

not that one

i forgor what's it

role icon

[compact niche]

me: one more run before bed, shouldn't take long

me after like 2 hours:

(only ever got to 13 once before so this was a new best for me)

[echo sphinx]

people go out finding photochad, neg perkeo, baronmime
never an impossible seed

[cedar sable]

only booster role

no icon

no color

[lost vault]

uh

okay

[echo sphinx]

damn

[compact niche]

oh yeah that run was gold stake too

[lost vault]

kindess should not be expected to be rewarded ir something

[thorn kraken]

ive been getting really lucky here

[compact niche]

i had bad luck during the endless section on not getting better xmults

[thorn kraken]

2/5 chance is close to half tho so idk

[compact niche]

quesiton: if retrigger expires can it show up again in the shop or is it gone for good?

[waxen fable]

wym retrigge expires

[shell dagger]

wdym expires

like perishable?

[humble gulch]

Yeah, seltzer can appear again

[lost vault]

who is retrigger

[echo sphinx]

yes

(seltzer)

[compact niche]

yes

[minor portal]

joker

[waxen fable]

what

[lost vault]

what the fluff

[shell dagger]

no slurs plwase

[echo sphinx]

¿?

[rustic haven]

hi

[echo sphinx]

tao, yeah

[cedar sable]

hi

[rustic haven]

no

[lost vault]

i can say it though

[shell dagger]

ohh

[cedar sable]

tao

[icy turret]

Did you reorder your cards before you played the hand
