[pale wolf]

its cards

[cloud sinew]

it isn't designed to be an actual cat

[lime remnant]

the thing

the uh

yk

from the mouth

[heavy heron]

whiskers

[lime remnant]

ah

[heavy heron]

oh wait

[cloud sinew]

also bull??? how does bull possibly have facial hair

[patent sail]

why does score catch on fire around all those paper cards, thats a serious fire hazard

[heavy heron]

i actually don’t know

[pale wolf]

again, hair on face

[waxen stream]

this is how it went

[knotty zodiac]

these are a few of my favorite things

[lime remnant]

the fur i guess

or hair?

[heavy heron]

zebra i know you got file images of every joker in the game

show the bull

[pale wolf]

if a face has hairs its facial hair

[cloud sinew]

where

[heavy heron]

oh nvm lilo does

[cloud sinew]

where is the hair

[patent sail]

evil fucking bull

[pale wolf]

what do you think the dark part is

[lime remnant]

its all over the face

[knotty zodiac]

zebra has 50tb of cold storage with monthly backups

[patent sail]

the bull

[heavy heron]

OHHHHHH

LOOLLLLL

YEAH zebra is right

but is that “facial” hair

i don’t know

[pale wolf]

bulls arent fleshy, thats the nose color

[heavy heron]

i feel like when you say facial hair you’re thinking of like mustaches and goatees and shit

[pale wolf]

does bull have a face

[heavy heron]

not like… hair and fur lining a whole animal’s body including the face

[heavy heron]

yeah i think so

[cloud sinew]

"Lucky Cat"s arent furry either

[severe plinth]

I FEEL SOO GOOD RN

[cloud sinew]

theyre plastic or metal

they dont have hair

[lime remnant]

isnt that technically a face

[pale wolf]

its a representation of a cat

[heavy heron]

but it’s not real hair

[cloud sinew]

it's an object

[heavy heron]

it’s prob made of glass

[severe plinth]

just bought brainstorm (seed btw)

[lime remnant]

how lucky cat look like

[cloud sinew]

a representation of an object that looks like a cat

[heavy heron]

all lucky cats are usually made of like… some kind of fragile material that i can’t name rn

[pale wolf]

🙄 i am right

[lime remnant]

clay i think

no what

[heavy heron]

yeaaaa

wait

[lime remnant]

pottery thing

[heavy heron]

no

[cloud sinew]

"im right because i said so"

[knotty zodiac]

magician dust

[heavy heron]

YEA pottery thing

[pale wolf]

we are dooned

[cloud sinew]

dooned

[knotty zodiac]

dooned

[lime remnant]

dooned

[pale wolf]

dont even know the words for porcelain or china

even tho most lucky cats ive seen are plastic

[heavy heron]

yes that’s the word! plastic!

LOOLLLL

[knotty zodiac]

plastic is such a taboo word now lmao

[heavy heron]

no it’s not made of plastic usually

[pale wolf]

I'm very confused right now

[cloud sinew]

but youre still arguing that they have facial hair...

[heavy heron]

okay okay when yall go into a chinese restaurant and see a lucky cat

that thing is def made of

NOT real hair

so

[pale wolf]

yeah it represents facial hair, just like the Jokers aren't real people

[knotty zodiac]

all the marketing ppl: we cant call it plastic

resin
abs
recycled fishing nets

[cloud sinew]

they are representations of fictional people, but they are still meant to be people

[heavy heron]

yeah but… if you touch showman’s mustache it’ll feel like hair..but if you touch lucky cat’s hair you’ll feel COLD

[pale wolf]

It's a video game representation of a card representation of a fictional character

[calm furnace]

this run was screaming for obelisk

[pale wolf]

i am safe in saying lucky cat has as much facial hair as vagabond

[heavy heron]

if localthunk saw this convo he’d delete both jokers immediately and replace them with grass jokers

[cloud sinew]

no you arent

[pale wolf]

i am actually

[lime remnant]

we on some bullshit rn 😂

[pale wolf]

vagabond doesnt have any hair because its a card and further than that its just a drawing

[heavy heron]

i know LOOLLL

[knotty zodiac]

its a representation of a drawing

no one etched the vagabond onto my oled screen

[pale wolf]

theres nothing saying thats not what cats look like in balatro universe, too

[heavy heron]

i lowkey gotta grab popcorn while watching this, hopefully it isn’t gone in 5 rounds

[cloud sinew]

you said that 5 jokers have facial hair, to the question of [How many Jokers have facial hair?].
youve contradicted yourself by saying both of those

[pale wolf]

and since i obviously dont disagree with my own thoughts im using it as an example of how the logic doesn't track

[knotty zodiac]

does the catbus from my neighbor totoro (1988) have facial hair?

[pale wolf]

if lucky cat doesnt have hair no joker has hair

[cloud sinew]

not true

[pale wolf]

yes true

[lime remnant]

who

uh

[glossy forge]

Throwback into Loyalty on Ante 8, SURELY THIS WINS

[lime remnant]

it looks like hes buttery smooth

[cloud sinew]

if the question was phrased as "which jokers were designed with the intention of having facial hair" then the answer would be 3

[pale wolf]

look how hairy that thing is

[heavy heron]

catbus

[pale wolf]

obviously has facial hair

[lime remnant]

is fur hair

[cloud sinew]

yes

[lime remnant]

shits so hairy and soft

[pale wolf]

more accurately hair is fur

[lime remnant]

😨

[pale wolf]

probably not accurate lol hair is more of a catch-all

[cloud sinew]

fur is a subtype of hair

not all hair is fur

[glossy forge]

Cinema

[knotty zodiac]

lolol does baron save this run? like having 5 steel

[heavy heron]

how the hell are you drawing kings in hand AND a straight

[wheat fiber]

rip

[heavy heron]

wait how many kings you got

[cloud sinew]

bean

[heavy heron]

okay wait

YOU GOT BEAN AND FOIR FINGERS

SO ACTUALLY

ACTUALLY

HOW MUCH DOES BEAN HAVE?

[cloud sinew]

should be 3+ iirc

[heavy heron]

BRO FUCK RAISED FIST WE GOING STTAIGHT BARONS

[knotty zodiac]

bean is fresh

4 left

[heavy heron]

STRAIGHT BARON TIME

ITS TIME TO COOK

wait

nvm yes sell raised fist

[cloud sinew]

?

[heavy heron]

i was considering keeping it but no way

[cloud sinew]

eternal

[heavy heron]

not with a bean

[pale wolf]

bean deck - 20 hand size, decreases by 1 each round

[heavy heron]

oh it

the red camouflages

damn

[cloud sinew]

its like perishable blueprint

[knotty zodiac]

i have to drop 4f prob

[heavy heron]

or

acrobat….

okay so there’s like

a few ways to go about this

[iron vigil]

Skips give an additional +2 hand size

[heavy heron]

you sell acrobat, you go four fingers and play several straights with kings in hand each time

or

you sell four fingers

and you prob can only play like 2 straights with kings in hand

[knotty zodiac]

the 3x is as good as playing 3 straights

[heavy heron]

not with baron

because now you got 1.5^2-4 per hand

[mighty gust]

Of course when I'm on a flush run this mf appears
Also. Blueprint of hopes and dreams

[cloud sinew]

so you skip every other 3rd round and you just get +20 handsize forever

[knotty zodiac]

baron acrobat > baron 4f no?

[heavy heron]

hmmm

depends how many kings you got IN HAND

but even 2 kings totals a 6x

[knotty zodiac]

5

[heavy heron]

show me your straight level again

[cloud sinew]

21

[heavy heron]

64 x 6 x 700 issss

[knotty zodiac]

+2

[heavy heron]

268k final hand

thays w 2 kings in hand

with 5 kings it’s…

7.59 x 3 x 64 x 700

1 million

so if you got 5 kings in hand for final hand

[knotty zodiac]

lol i love that the 7.59 is memorized

[heavy heron]

you’re basically there

[heavy heron]

i watch multiplayer a lot..

[heavy heron]

so you need

1 throwaway hand

and a lot of kings final hand

so yes delete four fingers

but you need 2 straights minimum

[iron vigil]

Sounds balanced to me idk /j

[knotty zodiac]

i dont think i can guarantee 5 kings

[heavy heron]

1 throwaway, 1 final + kings

[knotty zodiac]

but i think i should be able to pull 1 glass

[heavy heron]

okay but even 4 kings is good

[heavy heron]

yes and maybe steel

the goal is to play

1-2 throwaway straights that total to like 200-300k minimum

THEN

final straight, have as many kings or glass or steel possible

if you use glass early don’t be afraid to do that either

because that score will matter

just don’t flop your straights

you NEED at least 2

ideally 3

[knotty zodiac]

4 kings and 1 glass wins outright

[heavy heron]

it does

so actually

if you want

find perfect hand

then burn down to acrobat

and play it, and win

kings + glass straight for final hand

100% wins

[knotty zodiac]

lmao i only have 1 glass, cant guarantee either

[heavy heron]

but no guarantee you’re drawing glass

SO so

[knotty zodiac]

let me see if this shop is any good

[heavy heron]

if you draw it early

then make perfect hand for acrobat

if you don’t draw it soon

just play your straights

1-2 of them

[knotty zodiac]

doubled the glass count

[heavy heron]

that’s a big deal

HOLY SHIT

3 HANDS ONLY??

BRO.. you gotta be careful

[knotty zodiac]

ya took hiero midgame

[heavy heron]

if you draw an immediate straight within 1 discard and it DOESNT have glass, you play it

if you draw an immediate glass, you likely just burn down to acrobat then

[heavy heron]

so plan 1 is playing 2 straights for total score

[heavy heron]

plan 2 is 1 final straight only that throws glass and steel and acrobat and everything in

its going to be your intuition

which is better to do in your situation, during actual boss

[pale wolf]

where is blatro from

[iron vigil]

Balatro

[woven hare]

c*nada

[knotty zodiac]

i roll down to 0 bc bean at 4 is better than a few more lucky procs and search for xmult ya?

[warm wedge]

local

[heavy heron]

bean doesn’t guarantee you’ll find it

but

this is a good play

i’d do that too i think

[knotty zodiac]

bean at 4 skip vs bean at 3 onemoreshop

[heavy heron]

OH YOU MEAN

should you skip?

yeah no doubt

1000000%

[knotty zodiac]

ya

[heavy heron]

roll down to 0

[knotty zodiac]

i mean i could find more glass or DL or something next shop

[heavy heron]

you’re not finding shit next shop, not to mention prob risking glass in big blind

[knotty zodiac]

but bean 4 safer prob

[heavy heron]

nahhhhh

roll down, find tarots

glass or chariot

[knotty zodiac]

glass is safe i think, i clear without using

[heavy heron]

or deaths

[knotty zodiac]

but ya roll down seems better

[heavy heron]

100%

no doubt roll down and skip

[knotty zodiac]

median is 0 lucky procs

which is like $3 lol

[heavy heron]

lucky procs aren’t worth trading 1 hand size for

no guarantee $20 will find you anything anyway

[knotty zodiac]

wheel prob better than purple seal speculative fool saturn

[heavy heron]

spin it

purple seal ideally finds you chariot justice death anyway

[brittle ocean]

Savescum it 😏

[tranquil cedar]

Idol here??

[heavy heron]

NOPE

[heavy heron]

hmm.. seems like a good play…

[knotty zodiac]

3K 2 steel. pretty decent draw

[tranquil cedar]

i have 2 tribs, 2 socks, a bp and a bs

[knotty zodiac]

i think its one garbage straight plus one good straight like u said

[heavy heron]

def need purple seals

[heavy heron]

no no wait

let me think

show me straight level again?

[knotty zodiac]

3k 2 steel is 1.1 on acrobat i think

[heavy heron]

no that’s 7.59x

[heavy heron]

can i see

[knotty zodiac]

oops

[heavy heron]

okay so

[knotty zodiac]

700x70**x3x7.59

[heavy heron]

70 base

wow even the cards’ chips matter jesus

lemme be more careful w math

it’s like 730

[knotty zodiac]

i think its hard to fail drawing a 2nd straight with bean

[heavy heron]

oh it wins

instantly

because

7.593x

hidden decimal

so yes

this wins on acrobat, if you keep 2 steel and 3 kings

so you have straight already, might as well discard purple

then burn down to acrobat WITHOUT messing with the straight, steel, or kings

wait

wait

WAITTTTTT

THATS NOT 1.2 MIL…

[knotty zodiac]

95 straight: 35 chips
heirophant: 30 chips
blue joker after 2HC: 62 chips
straight base: 690

so total chip 820

[heavy heron]

okay okay

so lemme do it again

[knotty zodiac]

ignore fist

70x3x1.5^5

[heavy heron]

1.3 mil

yup

you got it

[heavy heron]

move fist rank

to the left of the barons + steel

do you know what that means?

[exotic silo]

Painted Deck Blue Stake, Immolate hit two ranks perfectly for the Straight setup

[heavy heron]

so like if fist is going to proc on your lowest rank.. which is a 3… then move that 3 all the way to the left side of your hand size

[knotty zodiac]

wtf this is a thing?

[exotic silo]

always has been

same with shoot the moon

[knotty zodiac]

yall onscore players are amaze

lolol

[exotic silo]

it IS an in-hand effect so yeah

[heavy heron]

yes

[knotty zodiac]

i mean it's clearing with fist at 0

but good practice and TIL

[heavy heron]

yup

[exotic silo]

fist works very well with Steel Cards because of that, I like the joker

I mean, the joker is pretty good even without that trait

[heavy heron]

yup

fist + steel alone

wins (in 3 hands)

(i didn’t need stencil)

[alpine lynx]

total victory

[exotic silo]

I was slightly confused before you edited that lol

[heavy heron]

LOOLL

[spark mirage]

Playing straights ain't that bad

[serene forge]

I <3 yuri

[heavy heron]

[heavy heron]

No screen SHAKE IS DISGUSTING

[knotty zodiac]

#run-discussion

[cloud sinew]

[cloud sinew]

and this helps a lot

[knotty zodiac]

[patent sail]

we all love bus

[woven hare]

the hook will always kill your steels

-# no i just never get trance

[knotty zodiac]

ya sample size low ig

[storm dome]

is taking the voucher worth it here

[frozen smelt]

Maybe this is the run….

[tranquil cedar]

new pb damn...

and it was trib lol

found a nat neg family

so there's that

[bronze widget]

i just want to unlock wee joker bro its tempting me to go endless 😭

[storm dome]

greed the sixth sense here?

[tranquil cedar]

I don't think it's worth it, btw, try to keep the mime and baron triggers balanced

if you have an odd number then give it to baron

[storm dome]

it's early in the run and i'm winning while copying dna so for now i don't think about it

[tranquil cedar]

sure then

but most spectrals really don't help rn

[frank grove]

ecto does

[tranquil cedar]

only ones I think would be worth are ecto and perhaps aura

[storm dome]

only ecto in late game i think

[tranquil cedar]

gamble for packs in shop (they never spawn)

[frozen smelt]

i cant find mime or blueprint on this nan inf potentional of a run

typical

[vale shale]

Mellohi

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

[vale shale]

Did you actually not destroy 6's just for the sixth sense?

[placid ridge]

1 take?

[storm dome]

future thinking

i deathed everything axept 6 in case he would come

and once he did it was too late

[humble gulch]

Holy Geometry Dash reference

[storm dome]

they always do that😔

[feral needle]

I don't think it's a bug regarding the game but I don't know where to post it

I updated Balatro on Google Play today because I saw there was an update

[frozen smelt]

Finally

[feral needle]

it changed the title to "Balatro: Try before you buy" even though I already bought the game (I got it on a sale)

[frozen smelt]

question is, do i sell dna for blueprint

and keep mail

[placid ridge]

Being as greedy as I am, I would sell mail for blueprint.

[vale shale]

1 run

Any deck

Win or lose I'll give the results here

[frozen smelt]

sold the dna so i can get money to role for mime

[placid ridge]

I mean... part of me wants to just say Black deck lol

[placid ridge]

fair

[frozen smelt]

hoping i can double tag a voucher skip

or iam gonna cry

[pale wolf]

maybe now its snek 3

[placid ridge]

Balatro is the free trial for Snek 3

[vale shale]

You're not the only one (you're the 87th one)

[humble gulch]

Honestly, Snek 3 is not as good as Snek 2

[frozen smelt]

now question is, do i sell mail for showman @placid ridge 😂

[humble gulch]

No

[placid ridge]

I almost never go endless so the value of showman is a bit of a mystery to me lol

[frozen smelt]

not worth atm as dont have +2 joker slots

[humble gulch]

He doesn't need more blueprints or brainstorms, he needs mime

Well they

I don't know 🐑

[pale wolf]

speaking of which, it seems like it was a discord issue and not steam issue

perhaps some ai "optimization" on discords backend

[frozen smelt]

normally i get mime first

[humble gulch]

Told you that Snek 3 wasn't that good

[feral needle]

interesting

[zenith raven]

Do we think Mime is worth taking here? Hand size is only 8 atm. And I’m having a hard time deciding between getting rid of Chad or Smeared.

Smeared would be an easy decision if I had gotten a DNA at some point earlier

[pale wolf]

i was joking to be clear, i got no idea whats up with your app name

[humble gulch]

I updated Balatro too...

🐑

[feral needle]

peculiar

I did buy the game on sale

it was a long while ago now though

I think it was 30% off or so

[pale wolf]

what was it on sale for 🦓

3 dollars woohoo

[humble gulch]

I bought the game at full price

[feral needle]

I jumped at the opportunity so that I could play Balatro on the go

[humble gulch]

When was it on sale?

[feral needle]

weird that the name changed though, maybe google messed something up

[hallow flicker]

Hey guys

[stark acorn]

with Baron absolutely

[hallow flicker]

I wanna do this red stake, should I skip every small bind?

[humble gulch]

No

[pale wolf]

no

[hallow flicker]

I don’t get rewarded though

[knotty zodiac]

skips are not as good as they seem usually

[pale wolf]

you're rewarded with a blind and shop

[humble gulch]

There's only like one good skip and a few more that are really specific

[hallow flicker]

So if I have no money I should skip it?

[pale wolf]

and with not having to beat the next blinds higher scoring requirement

[humble gulch]

No

[tawdry epoch]

you get eco and hands remaining money + a shop + scale your jokers if you have ones who can

[humble gulch]

If you don't have money the worst you can do is skip a small blind

[zenith raven]

I kinda have to play flush rn is the issue. Getting rid of chad is usually a loss of either 1.5 to the 4th or if I pull a glass, 2 to the 4th. Can’t get rid of smeared with my deck the way it is.

Yeah I guess Chad it is

[frozen smelt]

Crazy i cant find mime

[feral needle]

2/13/2026

[hallow flicker]

What will the shop give me if I have no money slot spend it on if I get no reward money from small billings?

[hallow flicker]

How do I do this, I really new

[humble gulch]

The joker pack is all you need

There's always a buffon pack in the first shop

[hallow flicker]

Yes but I won’t have money to use, I meant not after first small blind

I’m saying let’s say I have $0 should I just skip my small blind

[humble gulch]

You don't really need anything else in the first ante

[knotty zodiac]

not skipping gives you:

extra hand value
interest value
blind value
gold card held in hand value
blue seal held in hand value
gold seal / lucky card played value
purple seal discarded value
you see a shop value
econ joker value
scaling mult/chip joker value

it's a lot of stuff

[pale wolf]

benefit of skipping: +.25x throwback
benefit of not skipping: more hands played, smaller scoring requirement, value generation from the blind

[humble gulch]

Real

[frank grove]

ok negative steven hello

[dapper igloo]

sometimes the joker pack won't really give you anything to score higher but usually you can make it through the first boss blind even without upgrades

plus, regardless, 90% of the time, and especially in ante 1, you're genuinely better off just not skipping the round

[pale wolf]

if you truly dont have any money at all then skipping small blind is only slightly worse but still worse

[humble gulch]

Go sixth sense for abandoned+

[zenith raven]

Skipping first round almost never worth it. Later on, skipping for voucher tags can be a god send. Almost any other skip is usually a net negative

[pale wolf]

and perhaps some tags justify the skip

[dapper igloo]

there are only two or three tags that'll convince me to skip round 1, and that's from red stake onwards, those being:

• the coupon tag
• the investment tag
• the negative tag (and that's still questionable)

[humble gulch]

This is not about endless ❤️‍🩹

[pale wolf]

1. no
2. yes
3. hell no

[dapper igloo]

anything other than that is straight up not worth over skipping the shop

[humble gulch]

And negative tags are trash

[frank grove]

coupon tag is so bad idk why people put it up next to investment

[hallow flicker]

What if u get a free rare joker or any beneficial prize in the next shop if u skip

[knotty zodiac]

even investment tag r1 is situational

for ex. its usually too risky to take against manacle

[humble gulch]

It's fun, I like it

:3

[pale wolf]

coupon tag is decent but its still not worth without double tags and a good situation

[zenith raven]

Ah I see. Even still, in an ante 8 run, still think voucher is prob the only thing I skip. In the case of ante 8, prob only if I have sold a cola or something

[frank grove]

yeah its not that good ante 1 imo

[humble gulch]

???

No?

[pale wolf]

below black stake I think it could be fine to skip for that, but the higher stake you go the more detrimental stickers the free Joker can have potentially

[dapper igloo]

good point: the hands i usually use to get out of ante 1 without upgrades need 5 cards each, so the manacle will make that harder

[zenith raven]

Ok? Why not

[knotty zodiac]

rebalance: the voucher skip should just give you a free voucher instead of making you buy it

[pale wolf]

consider that most rare Jokers aren't even going to be applicable to your build, whether it's early game or late

[frozen smelt]

i genually dont think mime is in this deck

16 antes in

and none

[hallow flicker]

Idk any strategy in this game

[pale wolf]

whats the seed

[frozen smelt]

idk

[pale wolf]

would be nice if the voucher was free

i dont want it to autogive the voucher though

that would be ass to be stuck with magic trick

[frozen smelt]

i dont think i can see seed till after the run

[knotty zodiac]

oh right

planet tycoon lol

[pale wolf]

you saw it when you won

[frank grove]

or planet tycoon on zodiac lmao

[hallow flicker]

The only strat I’ve done was have two stencils and a holographic blueprint with a bunch of earth celestials and I made it to decently high ante

[humble gulch]

You don't even need vouchers

[dapper igloo]

the obvious one you can use is making do with what you get

extract as much value from the jokers you can use, and optimize your deck according to your joker lineup, replacing what you need to progressively

and remember that you win at ante 8

[frozen smelt]

skipped past that

[hallow flicker]

So zebra what should I do if I want to get a win for red stake

[dapper igloo]

unless you're specifically aiming for beyond ante 8, in which case, the advice will still apply for surviving to find until you find what you need

[frozen smelt]

iam still in the run atm if you think i aint finished yet

[pale wolf]

watch balatro university on youtube for beginner playlists from the best teacher and player of balatro

play pairs, save for interest cap $25, squeeze as much value from every round as you can

[spring radish]

anyone interested in playing balatro with more than 2 players gamemodes? :P ignore if no

[knotty zodiac]

all this

if i were to just add one thing, blue seals are very good

[pale wolf]

yea theres a long list of generic advice to give

blue seals and money are the most powerful thing in the game

[hallow flicker]

So anything with a pair

[spring radish]

purple seal = op AS LONG AS YOU FUCKING draw it

[knotty zodiac]

specifically pairs

[hallow flicker]

Ok

[versed sable]

blue seal good
scaling jokers good
small hands easier to play
money good
relying on too much rng bad

[frozen smelt]

going to anti 18 no mime -_-

[pale wolf]

you play Pairs when you have the scoring to survive playing pairs, and after that, playing pairs feeds into itself with scaling jokers, blue seal planets, and being very easy to draw (hard to not draw)

[zenith raven]

Did you read what I wrote? Almost never worth it, might take a voucher skip only if I’ve had a cola. Plus i fuckin love vouchers.

[exotic silo]

The rare Splash + Flower Pot build

[hallow flicker]

So forget full houses and stuff, play pairs

[pale wolf]

green joker, supernova, rtb, square, these kinds of jokers work with pairs without any further thought
other things like runner and spare trousers benefit pairs in a slightly less direct way by letting you build big scoring bases to spam with pairs

[pale wolf]

throughout a run yea, first rounds still need big hands because you obv dont have any scoring

[spring radish]

high card build uwu

[exotic silo]

in ante 1 when you have nothing, pairs don't do much, but a lot of runs give a direction which usually points to Pairs

[hallow flicker]

This info is very overwhelming

[frank grove]

squeeezing value out of this perishable round 1 pack seance 🔥

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/3P5fzcsuy2Q

[dapper igloo]

allow me to say, 5 card hands are still good, but only for the really early game, when you don't have upgrades, as, if you can gather the cards for them, you can get out of each round in 1 hand, which means you get the most money out of the round

once you have the upgrades you need, then go with easier to play hands

[pale wolf]

the doc will sort you out

[hallow flicker]

Alr alr

[dapper igloo]

i personally like to aim for flushes in super early game

[cloud sinew]

a combination of flushes, straights and full houses are necessary for early game

[dapper igloo]

mhm

[hallow flicker]

Should I get this??

I have it with supernova?

Cus Rn I have supernova bean and obelisk

[dapper igloo]

obelisk specifically goes against the advice that was given to you, so you won't really benefit from this

[pale wolf]

[hallow flicker]

I sold it

Free money

[pale wolf]

supernova and obelisk are essentially incompatible bc obelisk requires you to move away from your most played hand for the rest of the run

also rare skip 👎 👎

[hoary moon]

mainly flushes

[pale wolf]

no lol

[hoary moon]

easiest to draw

and easy enough to score

[pale wolf]

whichever one presents itself most readily

which isnt always flush esp outside of the first round

[storm dome]

will this kill me if i can't reroll it cuz i still didn't get director cut

[dapper igloo]

non-issue most of the time: just remember to play 5 cards regardless of which hand you're trying to play

[hoary moon]

you should generally aim for flushes tho

9/10 times its the best option

[pale wolf]

absolutely not

[hearty tusk]

Seeing double's negative is incredible :O

[pale wolf]

maybe like 60-70%

[storm dome]

mmm i am sceptical

still

[ebon condor]

tldr pay attention

[hearty tusk]

What did you just say...

[hoary moon]

ideally you dont play straights

and full houses are significantly rarer than flushes

[pale wolf]

enlightening

[storm dome]

good to know\

[frozen smelt]

what score is nan inf ?

[pale wolf]

something like 2.6e308

[dapper igloo]

a 308 digit number

[frozen smelt]

i think i can get now with just mime, baron blueprint and brainstorm

[pale wolf]

1.8e308 my b

[hoary moon]

speech dyslexia

smh

[storm dome]

what does smh mean

[frozen smelt]

Thats what we like to see

[storm dome]

i saw it so many times and i still don't know😭

[frank grove]

shaking my head

[storm dome]

oh

okay thanks

[pale wolf]

ty

[waxen quartz]

isn't that already enough to naninf? or going for a39?

[frozen smelt]

ill go as far as i can to beat my high score

then when ill go for nan inf

[storm dome]

invis instead of rebate?

[waxen quartz]

are any of the negatives valuable?

[storm dome]

no. but they are fancy

[waxen quartz]

better than 50/50 for a copy joker, sounds ok. but you might be making enough money to just showman up what you need too

[dapper igloo]

if i have money to burn most of the time i'll just take the negative for fun, but consider that every joker can be a negative. even the useless ones

[vale shale]

Infidel build

[dapper igloo]

(spend your money responsibly tho)

[dapper igloo]

one time i got negative credit card from a negative skip

[patent sail]

negative eternal rental showman is where its at

[hearty tusk]

Shaking my head. Usually used to indicate dismay, disbelief or disapproval

[knotty zodiac]

sprained my hankle

spotted my houseplant

swung my hatchet

spilled my honey

[feral needle]

OK I just played a round on mobile balatro

It just seems to behave the same as the regular game, since I still see all my progress there

the update just changed the title even though it's a game I already have purchased

[feral needle]

referring to this

I think this may be Google messing up instead of the publisher

also I did two-pair spare trousers with baseball card lol

[exotic silo]

Crimson Heart actually had me on my feet but it was fine in the end

[hushed saddle]

springloaded my hamster

[hushed saddle]

what hand is this built around?

[exotic silo]

Two Pair, played 47 times that run

[hushed saddle]

fuck yeah

best hand

gl w the run

or what remains of it

[exotic silo]

nah I'm starting a new run on Gold Stake instead now that I've beaten Orange

grinding for that C+

[bronze widget]

could i finally win

[frozen smelt]

only down side to inf run, it takes so dam long

[bronze widget]

could cardsharp be worth it to pivot later?

[bronze widget]

yeah i wont do it again til i download mods

[frozen smelt]

its goal of mine to do it once

after that sod it

everything but the dam negative

[knotty zodiac]

100% would take without riffraff

still leaning towards taking

[light oak]

what is this run 😭

[bronze widget]

skipped it but now i am lowk scared of losing

[storm dome]

damn that's scary

[light oak]

scary^3 plus sock^2

[bronze widget]

i dont wanna do this god

[knotty zodiac]

ya square isnt fast enough by itself but riffraff helps with money and hopefully u get more chip

[bronze widget]

its hard to win with just chip

[knotty zodiac]

most of my plasma gs stake wins do not pivot

[bronze widget]

o i not take bloodstone?

dpo

do*

[knotty zodiac]

have u seen head yet?

[lethal arrow]

Bloodstone is an israel joker

[bronze widget]

i have a red seal heart king

[bronze widget]

nope but how do i check again

[knotty zodiac]

u cant

[bronze widget]

id ont think i saw the head

[knotty zodiac]

remember, write down, or gg

[bronze widget]

eh he wont show up

but

i mean i have 3 rentals and

[knotty zodiac]

most likely ya

[bronze widget]

my econs about to expire

so i really dont want the rental blue

[knotty zodiac]

ya ig u dont really have a choice

well

u could sell rental and reroll

but that prob just loses most of the time

[bronze widget]

i skipped eternal rental tribe and got this from a jugdgement neat

[knotty zodiac]

bs on tribe right?

[bronze widget]

wdym

well no

when i ply a flush i play hearts which has a higher chance than not to be more than 2x

so bloodstone better

7 triggers of 1/2 is on avergae 3/4.5x

[knotty zodiac]

well debatable. i think minimize variance is better

unless youre losing without variance

[bronze widget]

this should win alone

with dusk its 100% bloodstone though now

[knotty zodiac]

but mostly i think it should not be on square. thats moot now tho

[bronze widget]

nvm i lost

i played a flush without dusk thinking itd win and got oopsed all over me

[knotty zodiac]

TT

bloodstone strikes again

[bronze widget]

IF I PLAYED

ON DUSK

ITD HAVE 100% WON

💔

[knotty zodiac]

would 2x have won?

[bronze widget]

80k

on plasma thats only like 1.2x

yeah true

[knotty zodiac]

so no

[bronze widget]

its cause my last flush did 700k lmao

blinds 100k

[knotty zodiac]

ya w bloodstone safer to assume like 10-20% proc usually

annoying to do the math tho, i get it

[ruby vessel]

Outrageous!!! Wdym I have to do math in my math game

[knotty zodiac]

if not using balatro calc, just using reg calc, it gets real tedious a lot of the time

[ruby vessel]

Oh I was just joking but now my interest is piqued. What’s balatro calc

[knotty zodiac]

website. input hand and jokers, get score range

[storm dome]

burglar now or wait like 2 antes more

[bronze widget]

last ante i played flush with a red seal(8 triggers) 800k, flush with 7 triggers(70k)

variation is so big

[ruby vessel]

Yah I was being sarcastic. Tho I usually only do math when buying stuff to see how much of a difference it makes. I feel like if u track how much u score each hand u can kinda get a feel for whether u can win or not

[knotty zodiac]

"can i win" is usually not that tedious

green joker blue joker "let's play 4 hands safely" otoh...

[slim swift]

oh, it's beautiful, chat

[ruby vessel]

Wait so when r u doing the math. Don’t u usually know before going into the blind whether u can win or not

Unless it’s for like trying to gauge value of playing extra hands vs taking the money

[knotty zodiac]

yes! but i dont want to just win, i want to maximize held in hand / mult scaling value

[bronze widget]

its kind of in my head

[cloud sinew]

and if you need to use glass, if you need to play more cards, what jokers you need to copy, etc

[bleak blaze]

Uninstalling rn

0/10 game

[frank grove]

hmm 🤔

[knotty zodiac]

uNpLaYaBuL

[cloud sinew]

i think calculating what your hand will score should be a base option

[ruby vessel]

Purple seal right?

[cloud sinew]

purple tbh

[ruby vessel]

I think there’s mods that do it I’ve seen it on yt a couple times

[frank grove]

yeah im thinking purple too

[cloud sinew]

there are

[bronze widget]

purple

[cloud sinew]

but im saying it should be in vanilla

[ruby vessel]

Ah ok

Tbh I like not calculating sometimes

Makes me feel like I’m actually gambling lol

[still fox]

What happened here?

[bronze widget]

is bull even worth it

do i do 1 joker riff raff or sell bull/rebate?

[cloud sinew]

you have 0 handsize

[bronze widget]

rebates got 2 rounds left

[cloud sinew]

so you died

[still fox]

bruh

thanks

[knotty zodiac]

what if u lowroll your 2 draws tho

[bronze widget]

ggwp

[cloud sinew]

playing the challenge where you lose handsize for every $5 you have, and you have $90 😭

[still fox]

played a full 5 card luck hand

[ruby vessel]

I’ve been dreading the challenges I’ve just been working on getting C++ bc they seem horrendous

[still fox]

must have gotten so much money i forgot to spent it

[cloud sinew]

theyre all fine apart from 3

[knotty zodiac]

purple seems a bit greedy?

[idle kernel]

Anyone else like ride the bus

[knotty zodiac]

not sure

[ruby vessel]

One of my fave jokers to get early

[knotty zodiac]

(jk)

[pale wolf]

massive L take

[cloud sinew]

why

[pale wolf]

that is a developable skill you remove from the game

[knotty zodiac]

well, we could hide interim scores too

[pale wolf]

part of playing fast is knowing how much youll score

[bronze widget]

it came back..

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt make it a good thing

[ruby vessel]

Doesn’t that fall more under QOL esp if u made it optional

[knotty zodiac]

i think theres a tedium continuum and not displaying scores is on the wrong side

[pale wolf]

skill expression is a good thing

[knotty zodiac]

skill expression is not always a good thing

[cloud sinew]

skill expression is not always a good thing

[pale wolf]

huge L takes all around

[knotty zodiac]

we could hide deck view

[pale wolf]

you all fail

[cloud sinew]

more skill expression does not automatically mean its a better game

[pale wolf]

goodbye

[knotty zodiac]

we could hide jokers after you buy them

[bronze widget]

its not necessar

you are supposed to lose cause you didnt score enough

[knotty zodiac]

thats... not very interesting skill expression

[cloud sinew]

what isnt necessary

[bronze widget]

if you scored enough its 1. you couldnt score enough, calculator does nothing, 2 you chose to be greedy, part of the fun

[iron vigil]

I personally would like a base score calculator in the game

[cloud sinew]

if you couldnt score enough then yes a calculator doesnt help you to win, of course.

that doesnt mean it's a bad thing to add

[knotty zodiac]

moot point ofc bc thunk's mind seems made up

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt give you any new information, it just makes it less annoying to figure it out

[cloud sinew]

localthunk doesnt like the scoring system because of the need to calculate your score at times

[slim swift]

gg

fantastic run

no ecto, but that's okay

sock/idol stay goated

[foggy sun]

who up hacking their 5's

[frank grove]

I think adding a calculator doesnt really remove any of the thinking

[cloud sinew]

and this wouldnt make my brain stop working

[frank grove]

it just takes a step away from players that already were using it

[versed sable]

calculator ≈ save scum just before hand finishes scoring ≈ doing the math yourself
all have the same result, with various levels of inconvinience

[viral raft]

people who have ++ in they names to feel superior from others, which one is better? Shoot the moon or 4$ buffon pack?

[cloud sinew]

what's the boss

[viral raft]

Pshychic

[cloud sinew]

ill take the buffoon

[versed sable]

i can't estimate if my hand will score enough to get me to 4050, or if it's gonna end up at 3988
calc and save scum just save time if you already know all the values that will affect the hand

[viral raft]

okey

[cloud sinew]

how does a calculator cause that

[iron vigil]

Without a calculator you might aswell do the same

[versed sable]

you'll.. still have to know how the game works
calc is QOL once you already know how to play the game well
it doesn't make you do terrible plays and then check a calc

[viral raft]

Both are nice tbh, well done Lilo :D!

[frank grove]

new players would do this sure, but calc are most useful for players that are trying to squeeze value from the rounds

[viral raft]

i'll take Crazy joker for now

[foggy sun]

I mean true. because it allows u to greed for econ without having to think as hard

[knotty zodiac]

sure, but here's the full context

In Balatro, my personal belief is that the game is more fun when you set up your Rube Goldberg machine and watch it go before knowing whether or not the hand will win the round. This adds some drama and suspense for players that don't feel like they need to know the exact score before pressing play. This has a pretty large design flaw though: Balatro is also a strategy game and not giving the player this tool is basically just poor quality of life for players that want to min-max their strategy, since they will want to do that legwork anyway.

The solutions are to either move the information horizon to the point the game currently displays, which would require making Joker effects or card bonuses fuzzy (like Misprint, for example), OR it would require a perfect score preview that, IMO, would make the game less fun for a large contingent of players that enjoy the pageantry of the chips ticking up, the fire, the drama, the excitement when you barely make it past the blind. I am in that contingent of players, and ultimately I designed this game for me, so even if it does put some players off I need to stay true to my preferences.

[foggy sun]

I prefer suffering and calcualting the hands myself because then its my fault if i lose

[knotty zodiac]

so considering a bunch of different factors, thunk still leans against

[cloud sinew]

when did he say this

[knotty zodiac]

reddit ama shortly after launch

[frank grove]

I think thunks opinions generally have changed a lot since 2024 and since he finished c++

[viral raft]

truthnuke

[heavy heron]

one does nothing without the other…

[viral raft]

i used to think baron was nice before my first c++

[viral raft]

so beatiful

[cloud sinew]

that isnt the full context

he also said "This is all to say, the criticism is 100% warranted and not something I think has a clear and simple answer. I wish it did - and I have spent a long time trying to come up with a theoretical solution to no avail. Really if I wanted to create a game without this design issue, I don't think an experience like Balatro could really exist."

[brittle umbra]

Can the fool copy the soul ?

[cloud sinew]

no

[versed sable]

fool can't copy spectrals at all

[brittle umbra]

[viral raft]

nope! soul is a spectral

[knotty zodiac]

ok... ill concede i did not copy paste the whole thing

does any of that support your case tho?

[cloud sinew]

well yes

my point was that it's a design flaw and that localthunk agrees

[knotty zodiac]

tldr- it's tough, here's the tradeoff, i get some ppl arent happy but here's where i'm at

[nocturne veldt]

certified dogshit

[cloud sinew]

which is why having the option is a good compromise

[knotty zodiac]

he specifically calls out the flaw that you mention and then dismisses it in the final decision

[viral raft]

temperance/dagger/sticker value!

[spark mirage]

But he also says without this design flaw the balatro experience wouldn't exist

[cloud sinew]

you can mitigate it by just making it an option

instead of being one or the other always

[heavy heron]

there’s pros to a calc button and pros to not having one.. hard to find a solution

[spark mirage]

You can just mod?

[frank grove]

but not everyone can

[cloud sinew]

you're forgetting that non-PC platforms exist

[iron vigil]

I would like to compare this to the game's speed option, can you imagine if the game was stuck at 1x speed instead of considering qol options for players?

[frank grove]

most of the players are on mobile not pc

[heavy heron]

yup

moniker

MOBILER

[spark mirage]

There exists a mobile moding thing right

[cloud sinew]

nope!

[iron vigil]

...and even if there existed one

[viral raft]

nop, most of mobile mods aren't official and are probably filled of virus

personal experience

[cloud sinew]

you would still be valid for requesting something to be in vanilla just because something is available 3rd party

[iron vigil]

Yup

[viral raft]

imo the game should just add a quick calc like the mod and also fix the save scumming exploit

[spark mirage]

Hm, I mean I am not against adding a calc and not with it too
Like I have lost runs because I have been off a few numbers because I was greeding but idk

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation sorry

[cloud sinew]

you've shared your opinion, that's contributing

dw

we're here to discuss after all

[viral raft]

so make save scumming allowed before the scoring of cards/jokers finish

[spark mirage]

Hands can slip in shop too tho

[viral raft]

making save scumming on packs msot of the time can be used as a way to know rng stuff

[heavy heron]

i’ve actually died because i didn’t savescum in time trying to greed something

a calc button would’ve helped..

[foggy sun]

this run is def gonna go far now right

because we got ice cream

[heavy heron]

holy earth

[frank grove]

we love purple seals, and wee 🔥

[heavy heron]

take it

full house levels go hard

[viral raft]

maybe they could add something like Mewgenics? that you're allowed to savescum just once

[knotty zodiac]

ya without ice cream still sketchy but youre in a good spot here

[viral raft]

allowing you to save scum on shops and scoring just 1-3 times per run

[heavy heron]

bro who cares about the ice cream when there’s a blank voucher right there

immediate scoring help

[knotty zodiac]

warning dialogs are way worse than scummability

[cloud sinew]

it's another thing that should be an option imo

a hand confirm button, a sell confirm button

[foggy sun]

what is this seed 😭

[knotty zodiac]

this game already has a ton of bugs... exploding the number of configs to test would prob be a disaster

[iron vigil]

yes bro might as well 😭

[ancient gyro]

first message I see coming here today

[cloud sinew]

it's not really "exploding" the number of configs

you're not adding super complex features

[knotty zodiac]

every toggle you add is a 2x

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt mean it actually matters

[knotty zodiac]

i used to do webdev... toggles are the worst

you never catch all the cases

[viral raft]

no worry guys, it's a Mewgenics reference!

[foggy sun]

"yo bro, make the run seeded, but dont make it obvious"

[bronze widget]

i didnt see the blind and took 2 ectos for the funny lmao

[ancient gyro]

ww2 celebrity is a reference to kitty dnd roguelike :/

[heavy heron]

looks like you gotta sell a stuntman

[foggy sun]

technically u could sell stuntman and survive

[knotty zodiac]

at a certain point, the game is envisioned to play a certain way by a dev, and you take it, leave it, or mod it

better than trying to be all things to all ppl

[viral raft]

sell stunt or you're dead

[bronze widget]

if i sell stunt i am dead i held r

[frank grove]

i think adding some qol isnt that bad though

[cloud sinew]

this is a silly way to avoid criticism

[ancient gyro]

as if you are in a position to criticize

[cloud sinew]

"it is the way it is" /strawman

[viral raft]

"celebrity"

[knotty zodiac]

its not strict qol here. the calc fundamentally changes how the game plays

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt give you any more information

[frank grove]

sure calc does change the game, but the confirm buttons dont at all

[cloud sinew]

and its worse to encourage people to pull out an actual calculator imo

[viral raft]

idk lowkey makes sense that evil H is in mewgenics, still stupid tbh

[cloud sinew]

not here

[ancient gyro]

i can make do without a calc in the game for impression related reasons for other games

doing more thinking yourself vs letting the game do it for you and focus on what you get away with after

[frank grove]

I dont think it needs a calc but i think run info could show what your last hands scored or something that could be kinda useful, some people do start a run and then finish it a day or so later when theyre not busy

[viral raft]

like Multiplayer does?

[frank grove]

multiplayer only shows highest score right? but something like that sure

[cloud sinew]

no it isnt

[knotty zodiac]

sure it does. what do you confirm, and what do you not? what should the default be? is there some threshold? what if the player gets comfy and now gets caught out on a different case? does the avg time to play increase and cause a dropoff in player retention bc it feels tedious, even if they could go and turn it back off?

it's simple from a player's pov but not from the game designer's

[viral raft]

maybe they can show you: your last hand - your best scored hand

[cloud sinew]

oh for sure, i think stuff where you dont have access to that information but you did previously should be available, like which bosses youve seen already

[cloud sinew]

for RNG scoring you should just give a range of scores, lowest -> highest

[ancient gyro]

average score expectancy per hand last round im fine with for quick evaluation

[frank grove]

does thunk care about player retention?

[heavy heron]

[probably not]

[cloud sinew]

if he did he would make balatro a live service game lol

[knotty zodiac]

every commercial game designer does, right?

[ancient gyro]

indie developers have other priorities

[viral raft]

big LT works in mysterious ways

[solid bronze]

you WILL spam pairs and you WILL love it

[cloud sinew]

he isnt a commercial game designer

[frank grove]

but hes not really a commerical game designer

[cloud sinew]

he's a hobbyist at heart

[frank grove]

he just made a game that got popular

[heavy heron]

he made a game for his family and friends

[cloud sinew]

^ he initially expected to sell 6 copies

[heavy heron]

according to that one video everybody saw

[viral raft]

localthunk literally just wanted to make a funny game as a hobby and then he sees his game on the GOTYs, so cool

[solid bronze]

whole chat of c++ and i'm this gif of "random kid" oops

[heavy heron]

i think you’re just as valuable as the rest of us [if anything, more valuable than c++ players] :)

[ancient gyro]

he likes to make games as a hobby and prefers to make games that are for the purpose of playing in his irl social bubble. a game made special that way, for his few somebody's

[viral raft]

"Random joker"

[ruby vessel]

I’m a beginner too dw

[solid bronze]

does something
(sometimes)

[ruby vessel]

Misprint clutching up once and giving one mult the rest of the game

(He lowkey earned the vacation)

[foggy pond]

What change today android update?

[viral raft]

i just realice...you're in our joker slots right now...

[solid bronze]

to the dagger i go?

[knotty zodiac]

ig what im saying is what looks like "add a toggle" to a user is not so simple to a designer. even if we ignore player retention (which is a decent proxy for player satisfaction if we dont use evil fomo design patterns), there's ease of use, test, and a number of other considerations

[viral raft]

what is dagger?

[heavy heron]

considering i’m c++ myself i’d consider what i said banter

[ancient gyro]

not that c++ amounts to anything

[heavy heron]

literally

LOOLLLL

c++ means nothing

[viral raft]

i'm going to get my 4th c++ and i still feel like a completly dumb ass ngl

[heavy heron]

ok goodbye wifi

[cloud sinew]

there should be a Judgement bot that pings a random <@&1122903010016763995>

did you just ping the entire jokers army just to reply??? 😭

[knotty zodiac]

having c++ means not much except demonstrating interest

it's probably rare to not have c++ and be good at the game tho? usually ppl who go deep end up finishing c++ at some point

[cloud sinew]

no

[viral raft]

oh ok

[heavy heron]

i’m good ty

[viral raft]

i saw the @ on colour and i thought that the ping would proc

[cloud sinew]

"test"?

[ancient gyro]

the game has been out for 2 years so it's only a matter of time
