[ember solstice]

Me too man i just lost a photochad run

[primal eagle]

thats true

[livid scroll]

it's a nice start, also good for econ

[primal eagle]

players are not supposed to keep riffraff long term

[ionic jungle]

I have it early game

and pray for photochad

then sell

[dapper gust]

i always kinda ignored it for some reason...

[primal eagle]

????

why would u pray for photochad

[livid scroll]

the riffraff or the photochad?

jk

[ionic jungle]

lmao

yes I wait for a photochad so that I can sell it

[exotic silo]

4oaK build that built off of a single Family then snowballed with Swash + Gift Card + Hologram

[brave fox]

I locked in on the photochad the other night and got so close to beating this orange stake

[ionic jungle]

like a man

[primal eagle]

riffraff is like the single strongest early game joker

[versed sable]

trol

[primal eagle]

more than rebate even

[dapper gust]

should i stick to ride the bus or does it lock me out of some crazy combinations?

[ember solstice]

Riffraff into photo chad and sell riffraff i would guess

[molten thicket]

bcs it can give rebate

[ionic jungle]

gonna lose in the next ante fr

[livid scroll]

that spot is for either grimbo or obelisk

[versed sable]

the plasma white stake in question:

[brave fox]

With riff raff you can potentially get a rebate lml

[molten thicket]

its econ utility and scoring in 1

[versed sable]

nah I'm gonna lose to vouchers

lol

[primal eagle]

i mean thats part of it-

[ember solstice]

It's not that good all +mult aren't great look for x mult

[ionic jungle]

oh I didnt see the deck

[brave fox]

And potentially hit the photochad

[dapper gust]

i see

[versed sable]

it's good scaling mult

[primal eagle]

obelisk early game

[ionic jungle]

I believe in you

[primal eagle]

you are such a legend

[livid scroll]

i mean i used to hate on obelisk until i figured out how to use it

[dapper gust]

k

[livid scroll]

which isn't particularly hard and extremely productive

[primal eagle]

by reading your statements I don't think you have figured out how to use it

obelisk does practically nothing early game

[livid scroll]

late game i mean

[primal eagle]

oh

[livid scroll]

you start off with the pairslop, then you feed it with high cards and play the hand you've been committing into

[primal eagle]

um well

[livid scroll]

oh

nah i meant more like

[misty mango]

I don’t think anyone’s ever looked at obelisk reasonably and thought it was weak, I do think that obelisk feels a bit lame to play with though

[primal eagle]

pairslop more like do what works

[livid scroll]

the best joker you can find early game

for future purposes

[misty mango]

Outside of money gen isn’t that mult scaling not xmult scaling

[molten thicket]

you can build up obelisk before and grab it later

[livid scroll]

yeah i've seen a lot of slander around the net

and i mean a lot

[misty mango]

Groker, bus, pants

[ember solstice]

I hate obelisk

[misty mango]

I’d point to those for “best” early game pickup

[livid scroll]

there, for example

[misty mango]

Do you think it’s bad or that it’s irritating

[primal eagle]

hating is different from thinking something is bad

for example I hate green joker

[misty mango]

Correct

[primal eagle]

wait arent u the

[dapper gust]

Does the arrangment of pokers at the top do smt?

[primal eagle]

i think we played guess the joker 1 year ago or so

[ember solstice]

Irritating to use
I can see be powerful im never gonna bother

[misty mango]

Probably ya

[steel jasper]

lol

[shell dagger]

yes they activate left to right

[misty mango]

If you multiply your mult by 3, and then add 20 mult, that’s different than adding 20 mult and THEN multiplying by 3.
Joker order does matter but only for abilities that have a different outcome when combined with other abilities

[trail ridge]

weeeeeeeeeee

[steel jasper]

weeeee joker goes brrrrrrrr

[dapper gust]

So at best stuff like ride the bus at first than multripliers after

[steel jasper]

im dead tho, game scales so quickly in plasma deck + purple well

[misty mango]

Yes - but that’s if you want to score high. You may want to first increase ride the bus’s mult by scoring low

And then when you want to win, you play a strong hand in addition to moving your jokers back to their optimal positions

[turbid nova]

are they duped from invis?

[deft sandal]

HOLY SHIT, 3 money shots in a row

[turbid nova]

maybe that's why the sticker looks weird

[steel jasper]

yes

[trail ridge]

i’ve just given up on progressing stakes and now im just trying to unlock all the jokers (148/150 rn)

[deft sandal]

having $70 on ante 1 is crazy

[turbid nova]

good call

[primal eagle]

who left

[misty mango]

Unloseable surely

[primal eagle]

die rich > win poor

[misty mango]

You get it

[trail ridge]

glass joker (i just need to find them) and merry andy

[primal eagle]

oo

[deft sandal]

fr

[trail ridge]

so greedy even without a single greedy joker

[turbid nova]

I got merry andy thanks to throwback

[misty mango]

Throwback has got to be the most fun xMult scaler

It even has “throw” in its name

[turbid nova]

imo one of the toughest things to unlock is the pallete voucher, it's worth it tho

[real flicker]

die poor > win rich

[deft sandal]

but i got the NYYOOOOOM

[cloud sinew]

@ancient gyro holy shit, finally

74 loss streak broken

[primal eagle]

??

what challenge were u doing

[turbid nova]

74? 🤯

[cloud sinew]

GSG, but i was just trying to beat black deck for 75 runs lol

[trail ridge]

what deck should i use to get merry andy (i have all except for the orange stake one)

[hearty tusk]

Fist?

Like...

Rising fist?

[primal eagle]

do you agree black deck is one of the most fun decks

[cloud sinew]

actually insane how much worse i got in one day for NO APPARENT REASON

[turbid nova]

When I did all stakes for black deck I could not win in blue stake and above without burglar lol

[dapper gust]

first..

[cloud sinew]

3 days ago i won 11/18 black deck gs runs

[cloud sinew]

and since then ive played 75 and won 1 of them

[ancient gyro]

duality mindset

[cloud sinew]

the curse is broken

[knotty zodiac]

you're back 🔥

[hearty tusk]

I am inside your bathroom

[primal eagle]

i had 11 win streak on black deck but also i had a die-in-ante-1-small-blind streak

[cloud sinew]

this is why you keep running it back

[dapper gust]

Black deck core

[versed sable]

run that back

[deft sandal]

pain

[cloud sinew]

Run it back

[hearty tusk]

Run it back...

am gonna get this goldstake ghost THEN IMMEDIATELY GO FOR BLACK DECK I DONT CARE

[turbid nova]

is that why you kept selecting it when you won the challenges

[primal eagle]

to be fair i only selected twice

i won like 5?

or 6

[turbid nova]

let me check

[ancient gyro]

i don't think ive had a loss streak going above 20 on black though lol, i usually finish at least 1 by the end of the day

[exotic silo]

got shop 1 madness only to never see an eternal joker after(except a baron)

[dapper gust]

Black deck seems rly fun tbh..
If you have more than 2 brain cells

[turbid nova]

5 including the plasma round where like 6 people were tied

[knotty zodiac]

can't confirm, i have exactly 2 brain cells

[dapper gust]

Same

[tardy spade]

Is it just me or does the additional blind scaling from skipping for throwback outpace the xmult you get from throwback?

[misty mango]

Everytime I feel like I’m on a good set of runs I load up black deck and die to an ante 2-4 big blind like a bug caught in a glue trap

[turbid nova]

lowkey if they do another precision round they should ban plasma

[versed sable]

yup

[turbid nova]

too many people are gonna tie for first

[deft sandal]

uhhh, what helps

[deft sandal]

there's like no legendary that helps rn

[misty mango]

Chigoat

[knotty zodiac]

(this is the main reason why it's bad)

[tardy spade]

Canio, yorick

Chicot

[turbid nova]

triboulet

[misty mango]

Bus

[deft sandal]

that's the opposite of help

:/

[misty mango]

Canio is ideal I’d guess

[tardy spade]

Canio, yorick and chicot are all excellent here

[misty mango]

Don’t you only get upset if it’s trib

[versed sable]

yorick and canio are nice
trib is iffy
perkeo and chicot are whatever ig

[tardy spade]

Perkeo is just... Meh

[deft sandal]

I just savescum (sorry) and its a perkeo

[turbid nova]

legendaries are supposed to be equally likely to appear but I barely see perkeo

[misty mango]

You’ve got a hangman in pocket already, perkeo isn’t bad

[knotty zodiac]

perkeo replacing gem is a solid upgrade

[tardy spade]

Check your stickers. If you've gold stickered perkeo but not the others then you won't see it on gold stake

[calm furnace]

umm why is the ox on flush here?

makes no sense

[primal eagle]

because it sets on small blind

[turbid nova]

yeah I know about this but outside gold stake too

[calm furnace]

oh

[deft sandal]

we naneinfing

[misty mango]

Oh that’s neat

[misty mango]

Well now you gotta

[hollow moss]

YUP it's Joever for the ghost deck

[turbid nova]

I don't even have perkeo stickered lmao

[misty mango]

That’s crazy actually lol

[turbid nova]

the first 2 times I got him I lost if I recall correctly

[hollow moss]

I'm in the same boat with Perkeo, mainly because I ALWAYS get a bit overconfident

[deft sandal]

im ditching the bus immediately if I find a baron

[turbid nova]

I knoww right

[knotty zodiac]

only gold stake stickers affect whether you get a legendary or not on gold stake

and it doesnt matter at all on not-gold stake

[buoyant stratus]

Does 52 rerolls for one Pluto with planet Marchant sound reasonable

[turbid nova]

this means Canio won't show up when I play gold stake then

until I sticker all of them

[deft sandal]

and I just got a chariot, it's joever

[rustic haven]

pretty blue boy

[buoyant stratus]

Got greedy with an invisible joker, lost the run

[turbid nova]

I think I could make perkeo work better now that I'm more experienced

[rustic haven]

gay blue boy

[buoyant stratus]

/:

[knotty zodiac]

assuming no other vouchers, you get 1 planet every 4 rerolls, so it's only slightly unlucky

[turbid nova]

but now he's not showing up at all lol

[hollow moss]

BRUH

[rustic haven]

[hollow moss]

What's the seed?

[rustic haven]

i dont play seeded

so idk

[buoyant stratus]

The one level I got was taken away from me /:

[rustic haven]

until i die

kinda how balatro works

[hoary moon]

not really blue

[rustic haven]

anywhos

[rustic haven]

gay joker

[hollow moss]

You're never gonna die so we'll never find out

[knotty zodiac]

gg

[rustic haven]

damn im immortal now

[tardy hedge]

How good is ts setup

[rustic haven]

[primal eagle]

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

[tardy hedge]

Ik but eh

[terse vale]

[buoyant stratus]

Just realized there was a way for me to live that blind

[celest olive]

well again its too late

[tardy hedge]

Doesn't REALLY matter

[rustic haven]

yur

[misty mango]

Zero xMult so you’re praying on hand levels and whatever bus is at rn

[primal eagle]

smh my head

it does not matter

[celest olive]

everyone told me to do chad but i lost the run

so

[terse vale]

ts means this shit nothing else :????

[turbid nova]

atm machine

[tardy hedge]

Bus didn't even get over 5😭

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

[misty mango]

[terse vale]

it only matters cus its butchering aave 😭

[buoyant stratus]

Just needed to play one of my queens for chips

[rustic haven]

holy nothing burger build

😭

[misty mango]

Not a single uncommon in sight

[rustic haven]

the only thing cool about that run is egg swash

[buoyant stratus]

Smiley face is an interesting thing to pair with ride the bus

[terse vale]

no its literally just this shit dude

[rustic haven]

bros the common commander

[misty mango]

7 gold egg

[hearty tusk]

Fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyou

[turbid nova]

[misty mango]

Literally mingling with the riffraff

[tardy hedge]

Best combo trust❤️‍🩹

[knotty zodiac]

i think im tossing lusty for gift card here

[hearty tusk]

For context, there was an eternal Swashbonk in the last ante's last shop

[deft sandal]

i haven't seen this card one time after i picked it up

[lean agate]

last legendary to gold sticker, wonder what i should do with it

[terse vale]

yall did this with crashout and “crine” please just use the words correctly 🙏

[turbid nova]

Swash with a ton of negatives is goated tho

[misty mango]

A whole 45 mult

[turbid nova]

I mean it’s red stake

[hearty tusk]

Shwoshbonkman

Shwashblonk man

Shwashblonkin it

And by it

[deft sandal]

ok i found it

[versed sable]

[hearty tusk]

Well, i mean...

[rustic haven]

ts is ass "that shit is ass" when responding to that guys common commander run since, sounds better than "this shit is ass". just depends how you read it and again based on context and conjugation

[hearty tusk]

My giftcard

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

meow

[versed sable]

true

[knotty zodiac]

[hearty tusk]

[terse vale]

[rustic haven]

click blind and keep ur jokers where they are

[hearty tusk]

I giggled😔

[knotty zodiac]

he thanks, she thanked, local thunk

[misty mango]

That is clearly a black man

[rustic haven]

stacys mom has got it goin on

[hearty tusk]

"White folk" like theyre some fuckin eldritch legend😭😭😭

[rustic haven]

shot through the heart and you're to blame baby you give love a bad name

[rustic haven]

more like horror

we suck

[terse vale]

shut up man i’m saying i’m mad at white people appropriating literally everything

[hearty tusk]

Really?

[rustic haven]

wanna find out?

[knotty zodiac]

my friends are saying shut up jennie just get in the car

[rustic haven]

thats a joke

[hearty tusk]

No

[rustic haven]

good answer

[misty mango]

Blame Elvis

[rustic haven]

show me no

[hearty tusk]

Isnt that Dracula

By Tame Impala

[knotty zodiac]

thank you shazam

[hearty tusk]

Doesnt he say "my friends are saying shut up Kevin just get in the car?"

[brave goblet]

4oak ancient jonker

[terse vale]

yeah man elvis was apart of the problem too but i’m talking specifically about aave

[knotty zodiac]

u havent heard the remix yet?

[hearty tusk]

No?

[rocky helm]

anyways the reason i came here was bcuz i needed to announce that i got the balatro deck

[hearty tusk]

God no, I love tame impala, but i never liked any remixes of his songs

[deft sandal]

fuck

[knotty zodiac]

here ya go

https://youtu.be/0UPDBODtxzw

in general tame impala fans seem to hate it tho

[misty mango]

I think it’s more of an internet thing though. Social media and especially memes take away the context behind language. After which it isn’t perceived as a cultural shift

[spring radish]

anyone interested in playing balatro with 3+ players? ignore if no

[primal eagle]

how does that work

[rocky helm]

i was abt to say multiplayer but yeah wut

[primal eagle]

im like too lazy to install the mod

[rocky helm]

js get mod manager

[hearty tusk]

Meh, good enough

I like it

[deft sandal]

now you fucking shows up

[terse vale]

basically people started calling gyatt and rizz “tiktok slang” which is so fucking stupid I hate this dumb game of global telephone where shit just doesn’t mean anything

[deft sandal]

https://balatro-mod-manager.dasguney.com/

[rocky helm]

@terse vale just calm down bro

Its ok

[bright fog]

is this how i queue a multiplayer game?

[rocky helm]

Go to the multiplayer server

[bright fog]

can you invite me

[rocky helm]

bro

ok

[rocky helm]

https://discord.gg/nwwaUGBU

[bright fog]

thanks

[rocky helm]

yw

[cyan salmon]

Calculated.

[misty mango]

The “E” meme became cross cultural which is crazy to me

[terse vale]

who are you :?? i’m literally just talking about the appropriation of aave

[misty mango]

and yeah brainrot is brainrot

[terse vale]

like yeah it kinda is that deep

[rocky helm]

what is aave

[misty mango]

If I count to 10 in front of gradescoolers they lose their shit at the 6th or 7th mark.

[rocky helm]

that's like the only thing that pmo

the stream of stupid internet culture memes is moving too fast that nothing rllyt sticks out anymore

[primal eagle]

wait the nickname font is a discord thing??

i thought they were special characters

[languid flower]

some lads would use special characters

[terse vale]

african american vernacular english

[devout wasp]

it is indeed particularly frustrating that things that were part of AAVE 30 years ago keep getting seen as "new inventions by brainrotted children" rather than a part of a rich, ongoing linguistic tapestry

[terse vale]

EXACTLY

[languid flower]

incredible

[rocky helm]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ggTNfj80cUs

[devout wasp]

to take just one example, "fire" is older than probably 80% of this chat

[rocky helm]

did i just say..."what is fire"

omg im so stupid

[languid flower]

pit two rocks against each other at a rapid pace

[rocky helm]

pit

[languid flower]

nowadays fire is just something you see from accidents and materials

[deft sandal]

in my "definitely not playing face cards" phase

[primal eagle]

thats mystic summit

[devout wasp]

"cap" dates to like the 1980s in its modern usage, and with similar meanings dates to maybe even the early 20th century

[languid flower]

yes pit, i know i could've used put or rub

[rocky helm]

source? 🤓

[primal eagle]

wait u gold stickered baron before bus

now thats fire

[devout wasp]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/word-were-watching-cap

[deft sandal]

yea, baron is pretty easy to get in erratic deck tbh

[rocky helm]

just cite where it literally says taht

[deft sandal]

just reroll until there's a lot of Kings

[exotic silo]

Haven't built photochad in a while, this was a nice refresher

[devout wasp]

imagine Not Reading when it's about linguistics

[rocky helm]

bro

[languid flower]

this is the balatro server

[deft sandal]

no its balala

you

[earnest flame]

bus is pretty easy too, any deck except black and its already good enough through the end

[exotic silo]

okay Gold Stake Erratic left for C+

[deft sandal]

Im going for a bus run on abandoned rn

and the first buffoon pack contains a pareidollia

[strange compass]

Double skip for holo?

[rocky helm]

sure

[deft sandal]

LMFAO

[earnest flame]

just making sure, did you know you can throw away facecards in your played hand as long as they dont score?

[rocky helm]

ahhh

[deft sandal]

yea, i've been doing this in my last run

[rocky helm]

too risky ive died on 15mc like that

[deft sandal]

I just be spamming pairs to discard face cards

[earnest flame]

the biggest reason people avoid bus is not knowing that, just making sure

[knotty zodiac]

would you like the goat of ante 1 or a free bus crash?

[terse vale]

how 😭

[rocky helm]

canio in next arcana

[terse vale]

just be smart about it when using the strategy

[deft sandal]

(I've played this game for 376 hours, of course i know :) )

[rocky helm]

I've beatin it with baseball card always

[rustic haven]

chat should i drop arrowhead for seltzer?

[strange compass]

HC slop is insane

[deft sandal]

ooo cool castle

[rustic haven]

yes!

ive never seen it negative

very cool card

[gleaming bone]

4 ancients + 1 chad or 3 ancients + 2 chads

[deft sandal]

the best negative design, hands down

[earnest flame]

depends on what you are doing, are you going for naneinf/endless?

[rustic haven]

hmmm

i cannot agree

[earnest flame]

even then id drop photo instead

[knotty zodiac]

for a8 drop ticket?

[rocky helm]

all on ancient

[deft sandal]

really?

[rustic haven]

not a8

[deft sandal]

pain

[cloud sinew]

I lost on nebula against flint because i went straights :(

[rustic haven]

[cloud sinew]

[terse vale]

[rocky helm]

js take the stenci

[rustic haven]

i hate flint

sm

[deft sandal]

[deft sandal]

100%

[rustic haven]

i dont think i have enough scoring

[strange compass]

@cloud sinew I am not playing five card hands on that deck now

[rustic haven]

most of my kings are gold seal

i only have a few red

I'd get more money but risk losing to these blinds

[earnest flame]

how much base mult do you have for photochad

[rocky helm]

nebula is like the worst deck

[strange compass]

It can be fun before blue stake

[rustic haven]

playing lvl 5 f5 so 28

[strange compass]

After that you cannot play five card hands

[rocky helm]

Yea

[gleaming bone]

pain.

[rocky helm]

MY DECK COSTS 10 DOLLARS?

[deft sandal]

Im just 21 gold stickers away from C++

[tawdry epoch]

sell your deck

[deft sandal]

and 100% the game

[earnest flame]

abandoned is good with facecards, couple strenghts etc. and you have face cards and a small deck

[rocky helm]

What mod are you Plyaing

[tawdry epoch]

in being forced to play pairs this is painful

[deft sandal]

do you think they would have a even harder stake after gold for the future updates

[knotty zodiac]

youre never forced 😛

[rancid lichen]

getting farther than i thought tbh

[deft sandal]

this game gotta be against me, i switched to ghost deck and the first shop I see has a bus

[knotty zodiac]

bus is still free..

[tawdry epoch]

no localthunk himself dmed me that he would ban me from
balatro if i didnt play pairs this run

[deft sandal]

yea

[earnest flame]

bus is absolutely amazing on ghost deck first shop

game is on your side

[rancid lichen]

so merry andy and bean?

[earnest flame]

slap hex on bus and that is your mult for a while

[rocky helm]

Foil redcard 🤤

[knotty zodiac]

i take biz card here

[deft sandal]

i have a gay bus now

[rocky helm]

Wait i just realized redcard + squrae is op

[bleak hemlock]

i have a big deck

[balmy epoch]

Gros Michel/Cavendish charging you the rental even if they go extinct that round but also not counting for the stake sticker if they go extinct on the finisher boss blind is such bullshit

[rocky helm]

"b...b...but squaare is bad!"""

[eternal minnow]

Im not quite sure

But i did get blackboard in my deck

[deft sandal]

wait till you hear about a spongebob run

[rocky helm]

[heavy heron]

[rocky helm]

how do you know bro

[earnest flame]

seeded runs you could get way more

[heavy heron]

at least i don’t think it is?

assumed ig

[knotty zodiac]

seed revealed at a8 win screen

[heavy heron]

except fern’s ante 8 was probably like 6 months ago

[versed sable]

ended a couple weeks ago

[heavy heron]

one hand be taking 3 hours

[heavy heron]

WHAT REALLY

DAMNNNN

[rocky helm]

was it seede

[versed sable]

idk it was like 150 because i wanted to save money

[versed sable]

non

[heavy heron]

so 4.7 million is your record

[heavy heron]

AHA

i knew i was in the fern territory

[earnest flame]

in any endless run I mean

[rocky helm]

plu 💔

[heavy heron]

thays not world record is it

is it?

[versed sable]

that's not something i've tracked

[heavy heron]

also do you have a screenshot

of the 4.7

[versed sable]

for completely unmodded, it might be

[heavy heron]

wow

[heavy heron]

damn

the end of the end

how long were you in that run

[rocky helm]

did u sell all ur jerkers

[versed sable]

i sold basically everything once i got the high score

[rocky helm]

bro i didn't see it was french so i just see "encore" and i ... lets just say... utter a slight giggle

[versed sable]

naneinf + main menu = cannot continue run
and mobile means i don't trust my phone not to lag out and i won't be able to get the seed or anything

so

[heavy heron]

assuming your main source of money was gold

[frank grove]

Parking

[earnest flame]

I wonder where my lucky cat ranks on chonkiness

[heavy heron]

true

[versed sable]

[heavy heron]

lemme calculate an average

did you have an oops?

you did right

[versed sable]

yes

[heavy heron]

okay forget it the math is impossible

i wanted to calculate how many

gold card procs and like reserved hits you’ve gotten total

but that’s like… yeah i’m good

[versed sable]

hard to do that given i did serpent every ante

[heavy heron]

yeah and you get +3 per hand

did you have burglar

def right

YEA FORGET IT

[versed sable]

oui

[unreal vine]

Ppl invis copies perishable?

[earnest flame]

yes

[unreal vine]

Thks

[rustic haven]

chat what should i drop

[versed sable]

seltzer ig

[rustic haven]

i think its just seltzer even tho it has like

yea

and if i find a sock chad goes ig

[ionic jungle]

depression

[lean agate]

here goes nothing ig

[knotty zodiac]

(it's bait)

[exotic silo]

I got the achievement

(Spare Trousers run, Seeing Double, Acrobat and Flower Pot worked together to make the last hand one-shot the blinds, with Trading Card providing enough deck fix to reliably draw a Spade, Heart, Club and a Diamond in a Two Pair, all of them except Seeing Double got a new gold sticker)

[knotty zodiac]

another flower pot W

[ionic jungle]

holy chips

[exotic silo]

I've been surprisingly successful at making Flower Pot work, it's happened three times now

[ionic jungle]

nice

[exotic silo]

one with Splash as a synergy, and twice in a Two Pair build

[ionic jungle]

what are we hoping for in ante 1

gulp

[exotic silo]

Pair being this high up is expected tbh

[lean agate]

ohmygod i won with THE gold sticker collection method, seltzer clutch

[knotty zodiac]

wee, order, duo

[ionic jungle]

got a stuntman

[exotic silo]

I'm also apparently 74% of the way to C++, surprisingly close, I guess I did prioritize new stickers in my new Gold Stake wins which paid off big time, some of the more annoying stickers are already out of the way

(although stuff like Gros Michel, Popcorn, Turtle Bean and such still remain)

[rustic haven]

fuck.

[iron vigil]

Do I ankh here?

[knotty zodiac]

ah yeah stuntman pretty solid. probably #1

[rustic haven]

no

[knotty zodiac]

burnt is solid too

[ionic jungle]

also got trib in ante 2 so gonna have to grind them queens

and kings

[hoary moon]

actually yeah

[serene forge]

i wan estrogen

[hoary moon]

it might hit polychrome

[iron vigil]

yeah

but like even if it doesnt

[exotic silo]

depends entirely on your reliance on Supernova

[hoary moon]

and +mult loses power with high hand levels

[iron vigil]

might be better than supernova

yeah

[hoary moon]

exactly

[knotty zodiac]

commons are pretty chill, just get the unc/rare/leg and youre golden

[dense osprey]

Flush maxxing (im aweare this is a terrible combo, its just fun)

[rustic haven]

sock over chad?

[ionic jungle]

thats cool

[exotic silo]

yeah, I already have 3 of the legendaries sticker'd, Yorick and Chicot remain

[hoary moon]

[ionic jungle]

another wraith hm

[rustic haven]

[knotty zodiac]

ya both of these are easy to carry too

[ionic jungle]

ok is stm a good pair with trib since I can make a bunch of queens

also got dna

[rustic haven]

wait on the idol or take over ticket?

(it didnt hit)

[versed sable]

i'd wait

[rustic haven]

alr

[versed sable]

idol is a scam

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rustic haven]

true

[hoary moon]

probably hold

[exotic silo]

I just need to find them, I have only found 3 souls in the entire grind towards C+ lmfao

all of them below Gold Stake unfortunately

at least now I'm gonna play exclusively Gold Stake for C++

maybe some high score fun here and there though

[median needle]

Great joker there actually!

[rustic haven]

most obvious rare bait 😭

[hoary moon]

DNA is actually terrible

[rustic haven]

real shart

[hoary moon]

doesnt help with idol setup

[rustic haven]

only good for baron mime hand size maxxing

[hoary moon]

or early deck fixxing

[rustic haven]

dw ik i alr rolled 😭

[rustic haven]

even then

[knotty zodiac]

i was 1/5 and >100 stickers and leg was not my bottleneck. youll be fine!

#🕹・game-discussion message

[hoary moon]

and flooding your deck with cards so u can farm money with burger and gold ticket

[exotic silo]

did you manually count your gold stickers?

[rustic haven]

id rather have a fucked up 40 card deck with no clear direction than a fucked up 60 card deck with a couple chances of drawing an f5

[hoary moon]

manuel

[knotty zodiac]

ya a spreadsheet and adding after every win after i got tired of manually counting

[exotic silo]

that works yeah

[knotty zodiac]

i wish balatro would show the /150 count on stats

[exotic silo]

is there a mod for it, maybe

[knotty zodiac]

not for mobile probably

[exotic silo]

oh yeah, mobile

[rustic haven]

[hearty tusk]

Because I am fucking around

[ionic jungle]

[rustic haven]

[rustic haven]

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[serene forge]

I <3 yuri

[exotic silo]

I counted my stickers, I am 64/150 for C++

A LOT of jokers have an orange sticker, unfortunately, I guess the grind towards C+ was quite diverse but not Gold Stake

that makes me think of how much Rentals impact my decision making

[rustic haven]

ok now what

i need more vouchers

so uh

id very much like this

fuck i need anti for 6th sense

i need an ecto so bad

[verbal oak]

I don't even need you, I just want gold stickers

[verbal oak]

Plasma deck "Stage 4 Cancer: Revenge of the Cartoonishly Evil 'MURICAN Hospital Bills of Monstrous Proportions" Stake completed

[upper hawk]

i love observatory

[viral raft]

Arrowhead and the gem jokers are made for Flush builds!!! Nuh uh

i hope LT makes a decision to make Gem joker in general worth taking on flush builds instead of just being another Pairslop/Two pair builds jokers

[rustic haven]

omg i got antimatter

[viral raft]

peak

[vague flint]

What’s with the gold seals?

[upper hawk]

unlucky

practically begging for deja vu atp

[vague flint]

You gonna sell brainstorm for sixth sense?

[upper hawk]

?

oh

ill just beg harder

[vague flint]

Gg

[upper hawk]

wait why would i?

i dont have any sixes lmao

not deja vu but something useful at least

nice ecto

[turbid nova]

oh my god bruh

[upper hawk]

me when the ante 1 boss counters my singular scoring joker

[turbid nova]

I'm so conditioned to thinking the psychic does nothing

that I forgot

[buoyant stratus]

such a stupid run

i love it

[barren blaze]

hi, there is a way to play multiplayer? i use thunderstone for mod

[upper hawk]

ask in modding general

[turbid nova]

we good tho

[upper hawk]

nice

also can local thunk lowk give me A FREAKING RED SEAL

[buoyant stratus]

biggest hologram ive got

just now noticed ive got exactly a 100 card deck

[upper hawk]

where did i get a joker slot???

it just appeared?

[buoyant stratus]

what mods do you use

iirc saturn sometimes makes it happen

[pale wolf]

good roll

[upper hawk]

no saturn

[pale wolf]

why would i want that

[upper hawk]

?

[pale wolf]

if Saturn's score a lot of points then I get to play fewer straights per round

[upper hawk]

i was talking to socks

[pale wolf]

oh

[buoyant stratus]

i fail to see whats good about it

[upper hawk]

he was asking if i had saturn mod

[upper hawk]

me too

[pale wolf]

juggler on runner, mercury

[buoyant stratus]

she

[upper hawk]

my bad

[pale wolf]

yea just looks like modded shenanigans

modding does weird stuff to the game

[buoyant stratus]

thought so

i wouldn't have took it but i am not too smart

[pale wolf]

either one?

[buoyant stratus]

not too smart.

[upper hawk]

ok but genuinely how

[pale wolf]

modded?

[buoyant stratus]

just be happy/j

[upper hawk]

not modded

im happy but what tf happened

[pale wolf]

whats jokerdisplay called

lmfao

[vale shale]

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

[serene forge]

here win

[upper hawk]

in a way that could affect it

[pale wolf]

when weird things happen when ur playing on modified game versions, blame the mods

because it always is

[frank grove]

steammodded has tons and tons of weird bugs randomly

[upper hawk]

maybe it just didnt remove the slot when i sold my negative business card or sum

[buoyant stratus]

couldve pivoted to baron but thats not as fun

[pale wolf]

omg foil and supernova!

🦓

[serene forge]

please stop giving me parking ong

[pale wolf]

parei next reroll

[upper hawk]

wait is 2 baron 1 mime better?

than 3 baron

[neat ore]

I got a plus 200 flash card

[upper hawk]

well prob

cuz i got no red seal

[serene forge]

please hit space jonkler

[neat ore]

Baron mime???

[serene forge]

fuck

[neat ore]

A baron mime build?

Baron mime?

[frank grove]

its time to straight max

[neat ore]

Don't do it

[serene forge]

spaceman please wake up

[frank grove]

why not 😭

[iron vigil]

Not a single bloodstone in sight

[serene forge]

there we go

[neat ore]

Straights aren't good

[serene forge]

14th pair

[frank grove]

what

[scenic plinth]

Synergy

[neat ore]

That's what roffle said no?

[neat ore]

THE SYNERGY

[frank grove]

why would i listen to roffle lmao

[viral raft]

the horse of the day issss:

[upper hawk]

i think i found out the cause of the bug

my invis giving me joker slots yay

[neat ore]

I'm saving this I love it

[viral raft]

imagine listen to Roffle takes

[upper hawk]

meybe cuz they copied the neg blueprint?

[neat ore]

Isn't he pro?

[buoyant stratus]

more slots

fun

[viral raft]

winning gold stakes with op builds =/= pro

[serene forge]

the jokes write themselves

[pale wolf]

i love savescumming so much

[vale shale]

Oh I know how this works now.

[neat ore]

So he isn't pro?

[vale shale]

Pretty sure there's a bug with invis that I saw on reddit

[shadow haven]

yooo should i pivot 👀

[upper hawk]

??? what mod does this??

[buoyant stratus]

pivot to rtb

[pale wolf]

In the strictest sense of the term he is a professional balatro player in that he earns his income through playing the game

[viral raft]

i mean, he's not bad at the game, but he's way too far from the "pro" players like Doc or Bean

[serene forge]

grim of all things somehow saved me

[pale wolf]

In fact the most professional

[shadow haven]

you're so right

[neat ore]

So I should say that he sucks?

[buoyant stratus]

debug mod can do that i think

[devout maple]

I think this is a decent joker setup

[rustic haven]

$150 to $850 in one round

[viral raft]

nah, he's just a average c++ player, the only thing that i think sucks are his takes in jokers overall

[vale shale]

He's atleast 0.1%

[devout maple]

Also I finally figured out how yall keep getting negative cards and all that
Spectral packs

[rustic haven]

yeah ticket is dumb

[serene forge]

oh wow

[gilded trench]

uhhhh

[vale shale]

Because out of all balatro players C++ are 0.1% of the population

[viral raft]

just sell pareidolia

[ember solstice]

8ball,space joker and glass card breaking are not the same odds I swear

[pale wolf]

considering the % of people with win 1 gold stake achievement, absolutely

[rustic haven]

just play left to right ong

[gilded trench]

oh yeah right

[neat ore]

So.... that means baron mime isn't good?

[rustic haven]

gamble

[devout maple]

I switch rank and suit sort to get a decent idea of suits and try for a flush

[viral raft]

uhh, yeah? Baron is easily one of the worst jokers in the game

[vale shale]

Yez.
