[shell dagger]

im 22 now

unc

[pale wolf]

no shot

[hearty tusk]

i thought it was just false accusations

BUT NAW

[hearty tusk]

you were right

[lime remnant]

whats a stock

[pale wolf]

ive never been wrong

[hearty tusk]

thats quite the claim

but damn

he even got a neverland island like peterpan man what thw fuck

[pale wolf]

no clue its not a chess thing

[hearty tusk]

to your left, thats the stock

[echo sphinx]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[hearty tusk]

where chess pieces reside there as substitutes

[lime remnant]

ahhh

[echo sphinx]

potential joker or goated joker mime

[long zodiac]

Growing up is realizing that Full Houses are better than Flushes

[pale wolf]

do you have blue seal

[echo sphinx]

o n e .

one is good enough

[pale wolf]

in what way

[hearty tusk]

uno?

[lime remnant]

growing up is realizing that fh are trash

[echo sphinx]

to be a rebellious teenager ye

[floral mural]

full houses are genuinely so bad by virtue of never being the best choice for a situation

[long zodiac]

I like full houses, and flushes get me killed like 99 percent of the time bc i forgot about the one random Goad in ante 6

[pale wolf]

flushes scale better, are easier to build/draw, and have more applicable jokers (maybe idk)

[echo sphinx]

fullhouse is a pivot from twopair (just play venus)

[long zodiac]

I like full houses bc it’s pants scaling

[lime remnant]

if you can play fh consistently you can play 4oak

[long zodiac]

Im a big pantalones truther

[floral mural]

4oak 3oak and 2 pair all outclass full house for everything youd possibly do with full house

[hearty tusk]

growin up is realising that this game is to be enjoyed and that each hand is great for each situation.
just enjoy what you enjoy

[lime remnant]

what is this logic

[floral mural]

sabotaging your pants scaling is not an upside ngl

[pale wolf]

full house for trousers scaling after obelisk 💖

[floral mural]

you want your bad scaling

or low score more specifically from 2 pairs

get to play more of em and scale more

[hearty tusk]

i want my dad ballin

[echo sphinx]

fullhouse is good because it uses earth scaling and not uranus, not oneshotting blinds = more pants

frfr

[floral mural]

you just dont use uranus more than needed then?

[long zodiac]

This is what makes balatro fun, bc there’s like 80 different ways to play and everyone has their own preferences

[lime remnant]

fh is good because your fh is lv1 and uranus is lv 20 so you play fh to scale 😂 😂 💀

[floral mural]

level pairs instead of 2 pairs with trousers is how i do it

yes it always comes back to pairs

[cloud sinew]

obelisk runner trousers, dream run.

yellow streak of 2

[ancient dune]

what do I do? i was on the final ante of the challenge and was doing really good but now its glitched like this?

[ruby vessel]

First buffoon pack had a brainstorm and the first spectral pack had an ankh. Never found a good xmult joker. Feels like I wasted a good seed

[pale wolf]

ope, something happened... vanilla game?

[ancient dune]

yes

[pale wolf]

did it crash?

[long zodiac]

I love it when you one shot the ante 1 small blind and you’re still a dollar short for a good joker in the shop

[strange compass]

I wish FH was better ye

[ancient dune]

i accidently closed it as i play it windowed scale i misclicked, when i opened it again my arcana pack was glitched and now its like this.

[strange compass]

I was playing straights this run and used a Wraith and it gave me ts 😭

[pale wolf]

yeah exiting the game at certain timings can break stuff and I don't think there's a fix for this one

@fading dome can confirm?

[fading dome]

Specifically related to booster packs obtained from double tags, yeah

[pale wolf]

This is a different one that is also fairly common but I don't exactly know any actual cause for it besides bad timing for crashing/ closing the game

[fading dome]

Is this on desktop?

[ancient dune]

ya

[turbid nova]

full houses are goated

[pale wolf]

but it's definitely recurring over time, and it's always due to a crash/ sudden app closure

[ancient dune]

is there something i can do to save my run?

[fading dome]

Yeah it's a known bug. Does pressing the skip button underneath your cards work?

[ancient dune]

yea

[fading dome]

Okay, good. Try not to reload the run again and just finish it out haha

[ancient dune]

i pressed the skip button then this happend

[pale wolf]

from what ive seen I'm pretty sure runs like that are just bricked

[ancient dune]

nvm ill have to do it again

[ancient dune]

yea

[fading dome]

Iirc to get to this state you already had a bugged booster pack that then got reloaded

[pale wolf]

I'm not so sure honestly

[fading dome]

You can try using https://larswijn.github.io/BalatroReTag/ but I dont think your current state is supported

[pale wolf]

I've never noticed any common factor besides unintentionally closing the game for this specific bug

[ancient dune]

thanks

[pale wolf]

this one isnt double tagged either, since you can see the shop reroll

i only see it like once a month in here

[strange compass]

Does invisible joker copy debuffed cards

[pale wolf]

yes

[rustic haven]

dna bait not being bait for once

[strange compass]

I am gonna try to get a second order

[pale wolf]

so sell four fingers

[rustic haven]

got that red seal queen off a stone card too

😭

[strange compass]

I'll sell it next round when Invis will be active

[rustic haven]

the question now is...

what do i replace for dna

prolly photo

[hearty tusk]

meh

[rustic haven]

27x beats photos 8x

lmao

[hearty tusk]

you were not copyin the trio before?

[rustic haven]

3^3 rather than 2^3

[rustic haven]

???

[fading dome]

Yeah looking through old bug reports it doesnt seem to be related to double tags and instead is a very specific timing on closing the app

[rustic haven]

i just got the bp

[hearty tusk]

oh right

[rustic haven]

so it was only 3^2

getting around 160k

[hearty tusk]

but hold on

hmmm, wait... with a red seal its 2^6

[rustic haven]

with red seal glass factory i can play f5 glass red seal comfortably

oh true

and if i get a chad

itll outscale the 27x

[hearty tusk]

but youre not guaranteed a red seal tho too

[rustic haven]

true

[hearty tusk]

however, with the dna

[rustic haven]

possible i bottom deck all 4

[hearty tusk]

that could change

[rustic haven]

yeah but i have no deckfixing

[strange compass]

Omg 😭

[hearty tusk]

true

[rustic haven]

so bloating my deck with good shit without having it thinned

doesnt mean much

which is why dna is 95% of the time bait

[strange compass]

I had level 10 plus runner over 100+ and Order and didn't score 50k

[rustic haven]

rah

decisions

[hearty tusk]

wait is it gs

[rustic haven]

its only red

[pale wolf]

imagine a world with level 10 pairs plus 100 chips on runner and 4 hands of it

[hearty tusk]

oh red

youre fiiiiine

[rustic haven]

i win the game with literally just the triple trio

[hearty tusk]

just do it, ya never know

[fading dome]

Does the retag website work or does it think your savefile is fine?

[rustic haven]

ima just go dna over chad

fuggit

[hearty tusk]

whar chad

oh, a FUTURE chad

[rustic haven]

oh

i meant

photo

lmao

[pale wolf]

phuturechad

[rustic haven]

also i got that bs from a judgement

thats my third time getting that

[hearty tusk]

dang

[strange compass]

I had four fingers but I still managed to do only one straight cuz the game drew like 2 4oaks

[hearty tusk]

dude what the hell is your pfp

is that spiderwoman

[strange compass]

It's Spider Lisa

Spider Mona Lis

[hearty tusk]

oh

[pale wolf]

you couldve lost even harder /s

[echo sphinx]

winer chicken diner

time for parking greed

[pale wolf]

get it
because camp

[echo sphinx]

here win

(what do i do)

my sticker situation kinda sus lol

[pale wolf]

is boss next

[cloud sinew]

ive been playing so much blue deck, yellow is still quite strong but its quite different and its taken me a little to adjust

[pale wolf]

I hate yellow deck

[long zodiac]

Certificate-Hologram syngergy is so much fun to play, especially with the hieroglyph voucher

[cloud sinew]

y

[pale wolf]

ellow deck sucks

idk im not great at playing yellow deck

save money for interest but no actual help for jokerless scoring

feels weird

[signal forge]

Hey what does +1 per round mean? At the end of red deck I still only have 4 at the base?

[pale wolf]

It's just plus one permanently, it's not adding one more every round

if it's a joker effect, it's only while you're holding the Joker of course

[signal forge]

That makes more sense now.

[echo sphinx]

what just happened

[signal forge]

Imagine black deck getting one more slot per turn

[echo sphinx]

guess how many jokers i stickered

[pale wolf]

it is a little confusingly worded, but it's because things like hand size don't get depleted and then refilled every round, while hands and discards are a resource that you use up/ are replenished every round

[long zodiac]

Imagine if you got vampire and paredolia

[pale wolf]

so the amount that you get replenished to each round is plus one

[echo sphinx]

lol or any of the other crazy uncommons

hologram is isntant win

constellation is instant win

[mossy scarab]

can u only get negative jokers with skipping blinds

[versed sable]

no

they're just super unlikely

[echo sphinx]

or ecto

[mossy scarab]

how do people get so much tho

[echo sphinx]

but dont be me

[strange compass]

Second time losing today cuz I just didn't draw my straight 😭

[hallow bolt]

midas mask is acc so good

top 10 non bp/bs/legendary jokers

[strange compass]

Never thought I'd see someone say this

[pale wolf]

yea i never enjoyed it much

And enjoyment is paramount to my doing well in Balatro

[strange compass]

I hate the -1 slot in Nebula Deck. If it didn't exist Straights would actually be okay in GS of a deck

[solid bronze]

would space joker be MUCH CRAZIER if it upgraded hand played after [X] hands

[hallow flicker]

I’m trying the 2k9h9hn seed and I’m following a guide cus I’m terrible at this game and at one point I get a AP with a fool that is supposed to give me a temperance despite me using the temperance it gives me a chariot and I don’t have enough money to continue in the guide.

What am I supposed to do

[primal heath]

Which guide? And which deck are you playing?

[hallow flicker]

Plasma deck and I’m using this giide from a Vietnamese person on a website

It was working until that point

[primal heath]

Could you link it?

[hallow flicker]

Yes

https://www.studocu.vn/vn/document/truong-dai-hoc-duy-tan/maisuong/2k9h9hn-ejjdjdk/118089871

[solid bronze]

is there a red card world record yet?

[hallow flicker]

What am I doing wrong…

[primal heath]

Whats AP?

[hallow flicker]

Arcana pack

[primal heath]

ah, makes sense

this article is weird

[hearty tusk]

playin this game on the shitter is a top tier experience. abandoned deck, here i come

[primal heath]

It's propably ai generated

[hallow flicker]

Maybe

[hallow flicker]

But I was working until the fool

[primal heath]

You used a chariot before using the fool

fool creates the last used tarot

[hallow flicker]

No I used the negative temperance’s then I used the arcana pack

[cosmic sun]

oops read the balatro reddit

What a mistake

[turbid nova]

If it was AI it would have emojis in the headers

[hallow flicker]

I’m new to the game and I don’t understand the Reddit guide all to well

[primal heath]

You should propably just play the game and figure things out yourself

[versed sable]

you don't need a guide to play that seed; just copy and level 3oak for the Flint and then you're free to do whatever you want, realistically

but also play the game to get better idk

[spring radish]

[I'm an ai asking you guys if yall want to play 3+ players balala gamemodes](#1496164475177402409 message)

great i killed the chat

also we all hate nebula right?

[versed sable]

nebula bad deck

[hallow flicker]

What’s the craziest seed yall found

[primal heath]

I found 4 souls before ante 8

[versed sable]

does my high score seed count

[hallow flicker]

On my second day of playing I found a seed where u get canio in round 2

[echo sphinx]

i tried to buy ankh

B U R N

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey I haven't seen crazy documentation of this game so yeah people really just learn by trial and error.

[ruby vessel]

I got a rental gross michel and apparently u still get charged the rental fee if it expires

The very next shop there’s a cavendish that I can’t afford bc of the rental fee

[echo sphinx]

lol rip

greed

more like stupidity cuz i didnt use the immolate

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[cloud sinew]

I will not take the mega... no matter how tempting.

[pale wolf]

you should take it after the celestial pack, theres an immolate and a wraith

[pale wolf]

?? did you have 2 michels or something

[turbid nova]

Damn you missed an immolate trance

So sad

[haughty condor]

all sixes

[shell dagger]

Even if thats the safe play ill never do it with grimbo and square

That’s such a safe start id take the risk

[rustic haven]

should i drop scholar for acro since im playing to 1 hand for max square value anyway?

also since i just picked up fib

i need some xmult so

[echo sphinx]

cant find a second sticker but gg asfk

????????????????

[rustic haven]

shiny

oops! all shiny

[pale wolf]

bruh

[patent sail]

straights run is over as soon as it started

[knotty zodiac]

let it burn

[pale wolf]

I'm jealous

[patent sail]

straight drawn right away neverMIND

[echo sphinx]

same

[pale wolf]

if you're not drawing a single straight in all of your discards you aren't on a straight run my friend

[echo sphinx]

these runs never exist on decks i like playing

[patent sail]

two of them

[knotty zodiac]

yea pretty standard unless you're leaning super heavily on aces. also assuming red card is at a reasonable level

[ruby vessel]

Wdym I just had 1

It went extinct and still charged the rental fee

And then I couldn’t afford the cavendish in the next shop

[knotty zodiac]

mouth can be a bit scary. not sure if they had other picks besides order

[rustic haven]

i am, playing 4oak with aces

but

[turbid nova]

just one shot the boss 😀

[pale wolf]

oh I thought you meant it had perished

[rustic haven]

my square is at 130 and that fib can outscale the mult of the scholar

[pale wolf]

That is rip

[rustic haven]

and since im playing down to last hand anyway for square value i might as well take it

its the only xmult ive seen all game

had a banana since ante 1

didnt break

love it

[knotty zodiac]

acrobat is solid

needle resistant

[rustic haven]

well needle is in the dust already

but yeah

no boss but a8 bosses can hurt me

diamonds, needle, and pillar all gone

[patent sail]

i did!

[rustic haven]

and im hoping its bell, verdant, or acorn bc i can just sell golden or hold acro

ez

ok wish me luck byby

ok i lied

might have to reroll flint

[knotty zodiac]

your setup looks somewhat flint resistant

[rustic haven]

well with fib

yeah

and 21 red card

[knotty zodiac]

lots of joker scoring

[rustic haven]

ye

we ball

well i played a throwaway hand for square value and got halfway

so uh

i think im okay

😭

[tardy spade]

I picked up throwback in ante 6 at x1 with a x1.6 vampire, pretty much fullskipped to the end and won

Perishable throwback carried

Words I never thought I'd say

[rustic haven]

the one time i dont want serpent

how will i get max square value now

its over

[echo sphinx]

win

[knotty zodiac]

win af

[tall sapphire]

how good is the seed "balatro"

anything interesting

[rustic haven]

okay im gonna play for flowerpot

fuck it

we ball

aces 4oak flower pot

[knotty zodiac]

thought you had 4 aces total for a moment and thought it was insane lol

[rustic haven]

😭

i found one strength

and 2 deaths

this entire run

with tarot merchant btw

[knotty zodiac]

sometimes the standard packs and arcana packs dont cooperate

[rustic haven]

oh boy

very scary

a 50 card deck doesnt help

i needed that world

that was worth having 0 econ for last ante

incoming vv

ok well

its acorn

but i cant risk a reroll into crimson or vv

😭

well vv maybe

bc that hand was 660k

but i had to dig for it

temperance fool just saved tf outta my econ

[echo sphinx]

least diabolical seed

[rustic haven]

oh my

[knotty zodiac]

660 with how many lucky procs

[echo sphinx]

pros: what the fuck

cons: $6 temperance

[rustic haven]

0

[knotty zodiac]

oh so it clears if u can draw it

[rustic haven]

okay somehow apparently i took planet merchant

i deadass have no clue

when or how i took this

LMFAO

[knotty zodiac]

lovers your best friend now

[rustic haven]

oh shit true

wild cards need

more niches

i used to hate taking ancient

but now i love it

lovers moment

fib into red seal lovers

i also god my red seal on an ace

[rustic haven]

well with good joker placement, i can hold acro or flower but theres no way to test whats what

wait yes there is

all my jokers have an animation

ez

[turbid nova]

nooo swashbuckler and dagger are ruined

[knotty zodiac]

never godded my red seal before. sounds divine

[turbid nova]

literally unplayable

also $6 dollar temperance but it costs $1, still money

[hearty tusk]

worsr seed of all time

[rustic haven]

lucky cards love me

[tall sapphire]

can erratick deck insta give you one of the Bloodstone and the other rocks joker or no

[knotty zodiac]

ya the two that dont animate go on the right. ez coughing baby boss

[echo sphinx]

BRO IS HERE AGAIN

[rustic haven]

frfr

wait

how does lovers with flower work

does that 4oak activate it?

[knotty zodiac]

no

[rustic haven]

i see

so it still needs

a heart

[knotty zodiac]

wc only counts for one suit

heart or spade clears

[rustic haven]

oh okay

wait so would a 4oak wild card activate?

wcs are so confusing especially for flowerpot

[knotty zodiac]

yes. just that it only counts as one suit (in your favor)

[rustic haven]

bc i never use this thing

i see

[knotty zodiac]

when debuffed wildcards count as nothing

not even base suit

[patent sail]

mf thinks im taking him

[knotty zodiac]

but debuffed nonwc cards work for flower pot

[rustic haven]

so if i had a wild card club and a wild card spade id still need the diamond heart?

i see

[knotty zodiac]

two wild cards and any two distinct suits wins

[rustic haven]

so as long as u have 2 the other 2 wouldnt matter

[tall sapphire]

saying i love bloodstone in this server gets u banned

[rustic haven]

read my name

[tall sapphire]

oh

[patent sail]

all kill bloodstone

[knotty zodiac]

2 distinct yes

[rustic haven]

okay ty

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rustic haven]

[tall sapphire]

i love bloodstone it won me my first gold stake but man it almost got me killed on the big blind of ante 8 because it did just not want to trigger

[azure copper]

i love the plant!

[dry dune]

So whats yall opinions on triboulet?

[knotty zodiac]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Flower_Pot

[rustic haven]

so this would activate?

[patent sail]

is this time to shoehorn in my awesome bloodstone catwoman art

[rustic haven]

or no

no bc i need

a club or spade

[knotty zodiac]

it's xmult but it's the weakest legendary

[patent sail]

ew

[tall sapphire]

i dont think it does

[rustic haven]

so i could do 2 spades

[azure copper]

just play idol

[rustic haven]

or a club

[patent sail]

ew

[tall sapphire]

brutal.

[rustic haven]

but not 2 hearts/diamonds

yes yes

im understanding now

learning how to be good

[tall sapphire]

sock and buskin trib won me a orange stake but other than that it isnt that good

i mean i definetely take it

[pale wolf]

worst legendary

[dry dune]

Damn

[turbid nova]

I mean that doesn't make it bad

[patent sail]

$7 golden joker or $6 golden joker

[turbid nova]

it's just a retrigger merchant

[tall sapphire]

but cloud 9 scales

[dry dune]

Who was the legendary that cancelled out boss blind's gimmicks? I forgot the name

Chicot?

[tall sapphire]

chicot

[pale wolf]

chicot is good

[tall sapphire]

yeah

[turbid nova]

chigoat

[dry dune]

Cool

[knotty zodiac]

$8 because of interest thresholds

[patent sail]

the real reason in gaking it is because i need a stciker

[tall sapphire]

perkeo should recieve the chicot hate tbh

[tall sapphire]

ah that yes too

[patent sail]

killed riff raff dont worry

[pale wolf]

look at all those rentals

[rustic haven]

OMG I JUST HAD TO SAVESCUM BC I PLAYED MY LAST HAND BY ACCIDENT

LMFAO

[pale wolf]

cheater

[rustic haven]

😭

idgaf

[pale wolf]

have you no honor

[rustic haven]

no

[patent sail]

banana killed itself and cooler banana spawned immideately

[rustic haven]

i played ghost of tsushima silent

fuck honor

[patent sail]

yay

[rustic haven]

i want to survive.

[turbid nova]

I have save scummed many times by accident because the game didn't save correctly

[echo sphinx]

negative cola looks kinda good

[rustic haven]

wtf.lua xd

[echo sphinx]

ok question

runner or square

[rustic haven]

yum

both

[turbid nova]

runner 🐐

[echo sphinx]

this is not a hypothetical question

[rustic haven]

four fingers

[echo sphinx]

i have both available for purchase

[rustic haven]

double scaling

[knotty zodiac]

they collide. i wouldnt scale both. depends on planets imo

[echo sphinx]

i have no planets

[rustic haven]

wait bus

[knotty zodiac]

your run looks paircoded, ig square

[rustic haven]

this activates right?

[turbid nova]

yes

[echo sphinx]

(when planets are there i dont think either is good pick lol)

[rustic haven]

bc its spade with spade

[knotty zodiac]

ya the wc procs in your favor

[hallow flicker]

i have a question, im trying to fool a temperance, i used a temperance before opening a arcana pack just for the fool to give me chariot which i used before i used a temperance during the blind. what is going on?

[rustic haven]

okay ty

[knotty zodiac]

wc fills exactly one missing suit

[turbid nova]

the wild spade counts as a club

[rustic haven]

then if like say the diamond was a wc

id be able to fill in the suit missing or another diamond

okay

[knotty zodiac]

the base suit of the wc does not matter for flower pot

[turbid nova]

you would just need two different suits at that point (it wouldn't matter which)

[rustic haven]

no like only the diamond

you can only play the missing suit or the same suit as the wc

[turbid nova]

oh if it was spade spade heart diamond (wild)

then no

[rustic haven]

but you cant play like spade spade heart wc

[turbid nova]

nope

[knotty zodiac]

right bc the one wc can be either a diamond or a club but not both at the same time

[rustic haven]

okay yeah makes sense

flowerpot is fun

i thought it took a lot of thinking but honestly if u just know the activation states

then ur fine

[knotty zodiac]

well. it's a lot trickier if you dont oneshot xD

[rustic haven]

well yeah

the acro helps a ton

[ebon condor]

just dont not oneshot. stupid

[knotty zodiac]

not oneshotting? skill issue

[rustic haven]

sickkkkk

[turbid nova]

flowerpot goated

[rustic haven]

im enjoying zodiac as i go up the antes

im ngl

[turbid nova]

samee

[rustic haven]

wait am i dumb

[knotty zodiac]

flower pot reputation rehab one game at a time

[turbid nova]

zodiac gold was one of my most fun runs ever

[rustic haven]

i said i dont remember buying planet merchant

im literwlly on zodiac

😭

[ebon condor]

god what was that message like tw years ago that was like "i reset the run if i ever cant oneshot a blind because needle exists, therefore you should always be oneshotting"

funniest take ive ever seen to this day

[rustic haven]

its very fun

starting with tarot and overstock

even planet early can sometimes be so nice

[pale wolf]

you're not on vanilla, is my first guess

[knotty zodiac]

that's not the worst take ive heard today

[rustic haven]

oh gosh

this is why i only stay in this discord for like

[pale wolf]

campfire is winmore

[rustic haven]

10 minutes

campfire is goatfire

top 1 xmult rare

[turbid nova]

obelisk 🗿

[tall sapphire]

wtf my progress randomly got wiped out

WTF

not all of it but

dude i lost 3 stakes on abandoned and 1 stake on zodiac

but i kept plasma deck which i did last

the run i saved from yesterday night is intact

what the fuck happened

[knotty zodiac]

campfire the stickering champ

[echo sphinx]

greed death

[turbid nova]

for some reason after I scored my best hand a few days ago it didn't register

[tall sapphire]

NO NO FUCKING WAY

[tall sapphire]

i got no mods

active

[pale wolf]

sometimes saved progress gets lost but more on ios, I'd blame using modded version before anything else

[tall sapphire]

i wanted to figure out how to uninstall this

[pale wolf]

"disabled mods" is an oxymoron, only fresh vanilla install is vanilla

[knotty zodiac]

i've never lost saved progress after the run wrote

[tall sapphire]

yeah

[atomic trout]

Stonks?

[tall sapphire]

i lost my gold stake on ghost deck omfg

[knotty zodiac]

occasionally the run doesnt write

[tall sapphire]

i dont wanna go do that again

[rustic haven]

its good but

not the best

cuz campfire

[heavy heron]

basic ahh flush run

no idol sadly

[rustic haven]

id say #3

cuz htr is #2

obviously

[atomic trout]

Yeh yeh! 😺

[rustic haven]

htr my goat

[turbid nova]

htr is my least fav rare

[pale wolf]

#2 most boss blind vulnerabilities maybe

[tall sapphire]

theres not anyway i can get back my progress i dont wanna do another gold stake

[rustic haven]

oh flowerpot was the last undiscovered joker i needed LOL i didnt even realize

[pale wolf]

you can just cheat them back if you want

[ebon condor]

htr is bloodstone if it wasnt on-score

[knotty zodiac]

theres gotta be some balatro save editor

[atomic trout]

I got no interest... 😾

[tall sapphire]

how do u even do that

[pale wolf]

it's all well and good but all of a sudden you waste your hands trying to look for jacks, you barely find any, and you die

it's so annoying to play

[knotty zodiac]

u need more jacks

i started trying to make jacks when i have chip and mult but not xmult sorted

[rustic haven]

ithink my least favorite xmult rares are probably

htr, baron, and tribe

[atomic trout]

Two Halves 😺

[turbid nova]

I would have said the same if not for my zodiac gold baron from ante 1

[rustic haven]

lmfao

baron is just so bait

[knotty zodiac]

combine to get one jimbo

[turbid nova]

it was amazing

[rustic haven]

trust me man i went baron in a purple stake run

that mf follows me everywhere

thankfully baron is pretty easy when you have atleast one copy joker

or mime

then its fine ig

[turbid nova]

I had brainstorm from early

so I guess it made sense

[rustic haven]

fair

[turbid nova]

I had a mime for a while at the end but it was perishable sadly

I went into endless but I died to the psychic on ante 12

SOMEHOW survived the hook which I did not expect

[turbid nova]

I'm pretty sure I lived against any other boss

[echo sphinx]

wait

[turbid nova]

(the plant got taken out thanks to luchador)

[echo sphinx]

wait a damn fuckn second

[knotty zodiac]

sometimes baron is correct, like once in a blue moon

@heavy heron and baron saved this run lol

[echo sphinx]

what

[cloud sinew]

jesus, business just hit 10 times in a row when i just got it. 1/1024

[turbid nova]

oh you too have "that one baron run"

[pale wolf]

fist baron synergy is underrated

not that its that good but i never hear it mentioned ever

[turbid nova]

fr

[knotty zodiac]

i never thought about it until that run

pretty cool tech

[pale wolf]

i think more about stm + baron because of the silliness

[echo sphinx]

wait then what is this???

[rustic haven]

saw him twice this run, ended up being a hc seed ig

[pale wolf]

did you do the victory lap run

[cloud sinew]

you need to win one more run

it's a know bug

it also applies to C+

[turbid nova]

dual vagabond

[echo sphinx]

oh y o u a r e k i d d i n g m e

[turbid nova]

very nice

[echo sphinx]

ok

[rustic haven]

yes

[echo sphinx]

give me a deck

[pale wolf]

any stake

[knotty zodiac]

black deck gold stake

[rustic haven]

just play plasma white

ngl

[pale wolf]

blue deck white stake

[cloud sinew]

any deck any stake, just needs to be non-challenge unseeded

[pale wolf]

yugiyoh style

[echo sphinx]

gang what the fuck

[turbid nova]

black deck gold 😈

[rustic haven]

plasma gold stake

[echo sphinx]

guys 😭

[rustic haven]

red gold stake

[knotty zodiac]

its only fitting

[stark acorn]

green gold stake

[echo sphinx]

orbula

[rustic haven]

nebula rainbow stake (get touched by guys stake)

ok anyway

[stark acorn]

no no we are NOT fucking glossing over that

[rustic haven]

😭

my favorite stake

[unreal iron]

yes i affirm

[turbid nova]

what is the effect

you can't play straights

[rustic haven]

yes

[turbid nova]

damn

[fervent wolf]

Idk how I keep doing it

[rustic haven]

the any straight joker is banned

and everything is polychrome

[knotty zodiac]

general discomfort followed by a surgery after just shy of a year

[rustic haven]

strush gamin

[turbid nova]

wow full skip

[rustic haven]

o i didnt realize

W

[knotty zodiac]

ante > round flex

[turbid nova]

in a challenge we're competing in we're speedrunning yellow white stake

I did a full skip run under 4:30

[knotty zodiac]

is this the balatrorg thing

[turbid nova]

yeah a mini version

that someone else is hosting

[knotty zodiac]

cool gl

[turbid nova]

thx

[bronze maple]

pain

[fervent wolf]

I did gold before too

[cloud sinew]

did you 100% play the best hand you could

[bronze maple]

pair of bonus 10s

[knotty zodiac]

the last 0.5% ouch

[mossy scarab]

how u get so many jokers? did u just keep skipping blinds or is there another way to get negative 1s

[heavy heron]

STRAIGHT BARON

[cloud sinew]

theyre on ghost deck, so they likely took an ecto

[patent sail]

hi

[pale wolf]

i kinda like the orbs

[heavy heron]

heyy

[mossy scarab]

whats ecto im new srry

[knotty zodiac]

ya brand new phrase when i first heard it lol

[heavy heron]

makes a random joker you have negative, takes away 1 hand size in return

[patent sail]

+2 stickers

[cloud sinew]

ectoplasm
adds negative to a random joker, -1 handsize

[mossy scarab]

ah ok

[heavy heron]

👏

[mossy scarab]

should i do that

[heavy heron]

probably not

that 1 hand size is roughhh

[bronze leaf]

I love ecto but it's always so hard to justify it 😞

[pale wolf]

its not usually great

can be good though

[bronze leaf]

If you're playing pairs it's not so bad...sometimes.

[heavy heron]

how often do you need a 6th joker that desperately

[mossy scarab]

ive been trying to play pairs dude getting the right jokers is so hard

[pale wolf]

its more when hand size isnt doing anything for you

[knotty zodiac]

ofc you can ask here

u might also find balatrowiki helpful

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Ectoplasm

[patent sail]

my biggest erosion yet too

[pale wolf]

bad luck on standard packs/deckfixing

[heavy heron]

if you’re a beginner i honestly think playing other hand types and trying different options is a good idea

i’m a flusher wink

[cloud sinew]

it's a lot better than a lot of people think tbh

[mossy scarab]

i see evry1 else with like a million jokers so i just wanted to see

[mossy scarab]

flush is goated 🔥

[heavy heron]

don’t let people force you into pairs only because it raises an extremely 1 dimensional playstyle

[bronze leaf]

I typically play into what jokers I get

[heavy heron]

explore and learn!

[heavy heron]

🔥

[mossy scarab]

fair im gonna try ghost deck now and see

[cloud sinew]

i dont know how i feel about this attitude

[pale wolf]

i wish there were more jokers that benefit small hand size but they all have to be pair slop by design

[heavy heron]

play the hand type you think the game is trying to push you towards! every run is different for a reason

but yea just have fun

[heavy heron]

that’s okay you can feel how you wish

[bronze leaf]

Or 3oak

[cloud sinew]

I don't think people are ever forcing new players to do pairs

[bronze leaf]

3oak my beloved

[celest cobalt]

i got my first win

are yall proud

[heavy heron]

well you can’t force anybody to do anything, yes

[bronze leaf]

It's kinda hard to force someone to do anything tbh. It's a discord server they don't have to listen

[heavy heron]

i didn’t mean it literally

[knotty zodiac]

many more to come

[cloud sinew]

I also don't mean it literally

[pale wolf]

are you proud of my first win

[celest cobalt]

yes but not as much as my first win

[pale wolf]

i hate u 😡

[celest cobalt]

i love this trebuchet fella

[pale wolf]

double trib lmfao

[heavy heron]

7 billion on your first win

[celest cobalt]

with dusk

[celest cobalt]

yea i really planned this out

[pale wolf]

so you've already won which is fun, but you should take note of how the banana and half joker don't do anything here because triboulet already x1000 or whatever your poker hand's planetary mult

[celest cobalt]

the moment i saw the card to dupe joker
and noticed i have like used ouija to get multi queens

[pale wolf]

+35 on top of 2000 is nothin

[celest cobalt]

i had to kill all my other jokers
so i bought what i could

[cloud sinew]

why did you have to

[pale wolf]

the dusk is a good pickup

[tawdry epoch]

probably for ankh

[pale wolf]

with trib

[celest cobalt]

to use the curse of duplication

[celest cobalt]

yeaaa

[unreal iron]

the xmult gang

[pale wolf]

better to keep rolling for +chips or retriggers (sock/chad for trib) than to take +mult jokers

[patent sail]

space joker locked the fuck in what the hell

[celest cobalt]

i didnt have money for rerolling
i was really broke this run
but it was honest work

[pale wolf]

specifically with an on-card xmult build lole this

[pale wolf]

you have 50 dollars
oh did you lucky hit

[patent sail]

OH MY GOD

he is triggering every hand

[celest cobalt]

whats that

i started yesterday

[pale wolf]

my space man last run attempt went like 2 for 20

[pale wolf]

lucky cards give money sometimes

[celest cobalt]

i havent unlocked half the stuff

i got really lucky this run

with those purple cards

[pale wolf]

anyways you had 50 dollars i can literally see you had money lol

[patent sail]

HE KEEPS TRIGGERING

[celest cobalt]

one gave me a legendary joker
one gave me lots of queens
and one gave me a dupe

[patent sail]

no way

[pale wolf]

the purple seal didnt give you a legendary joker

[hearty tusk]

Prince was better anyways.
lets run it back

[pale wolf]

that came from a pack

[celest cobalt]

i always keep 50$ so i can get 10$ per round as investment

[knotty zodiac]

beginners probably over take ecto bc theyre not considering the value digging loss and are not as good at optimizing joker selection

eventually youre saying to add ecto back in tho? what factors are u usually thinking about?

[celest cobalt]

no i meant the purple card
whats it called

[patent sail]

spectral?

[pale wolf]

no need for money if you win when you beat ante 8
but valid i guess (when you have seed money)

[celest cobalt]

oh i meant spectral

i got 3 very good spectral cards

[knotty zodiac]

mm maybe they wanna try endless. it's their first win

[vale shale]

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

[celest cobalt]

and i got especially lucky with that ouija hitting a queen

[knotty zodiac]

black

[pale wolf]

yea that is a consideration

[pale wolf]

ruined 2 days in a row for him

[cloud sinew]

it's mainly a consideration from late-midgame to the end of a run (a6-a8) because thats when youre most likely to have most of your build locked in, and that's generally when you should stop prioritising value gen and start prioritising scoring / safety nets.

[celest cobalt]

woahhh

[pale wolf]

👏 make him streak black deck 👏

[cloud sinew]

and with the meta being lobotomy, deck digging tends not to be as impactful for actually scoring, same with hand consistency

[pale wolf]

i like ecto because stickering is fun

[celest cobalt]

this was my masterpiece

[knotty zodiac]

ah so youre saying the last dozen or so planets is prob worse than slotting an extra xmult in?

[cloud sinew]

a lot of the time, yes

[knotty zodiac]

ya makes sense

ive thought about it. maybe im overcautious bc it does feel higher variance at times. but i should prob push myself to consider it more

[knotty zodiac]

someone picked black yesterday?

i just wanted to set up an exciting race between @vale shale and @echo sphinx

[echo sphinx]

WHO PICKED BLACK DECK GOLDEN STAKE

RAHHHHHHHH

[knotty zodiac]

i was first, i believe. its the worthy final boss. cant go out on blue deck white stake!

[echo sphinx]

final boss would be bram poker challenge

[pale wolf]

Blue deck white stake is the blue eyes white dragon of Balatro

[cloud sinew]

bram poker is very easy

[celest cobalt]

is this something ill understand after a few days?

[echo sphinx]

fuckit

plasma white

[knotty zodiac]

apparently those things mint are worth thousands now. wish i left mine in the box lol

[pale wolf]

if you spend those few days in 2008 perhaps

its a yugiyoh reference

[knotty zodiac]

HEART OF THE CARDS

[celest cobalt]

does there exist a slightly tamer irl deck to play balatro with

[pale wolf]

absolutely not

[celest cobalt]

yea idk what blue deck white stake is

[cloud sinew]

wdym

[celest cobalt]

like a deck of cards to mimic something like balatro on an actual poker table

[pale wolf]

you can buy balatro playing cards, a standard deck for normal games

[cloud sinew]

there's the balatro deck of cards

[pale wolf]

but you would need so many cards for irl balatro

[knotty zodiac]

someone's made a howebrew one on youtube

[cloud sinew]

but it's just a standard deck of cards with balatro art, +4 jokers

[knotty zodiac]

i think it took them weeks

[pale wolf]

I've seen mock-ups people made IRL, but they definitely don't have a full game's worth

[celest cobalt]

i love making poker variations
and after playing balatro today i feel like maybe i can create a balatro inspired variation

[bronze leaf]

Balatro sounds horrible to play irl ngl

[knotty zodiac]

cant wait for a coop balatro meatspace card game

[pale wolf]

its literally impossible honestly

how are you going to implement showman

[knotty zodiac]

prob has to be simplified

[cloud sinew]

board games where you need to use a calculator are boring asf imo

[pale wolf]

never mind I thought about it for like 3 more seconds

[celest cobalt]

its fun if i somehow integrate chips and betting into it
anything to win some money right

[bronze leaf]

I hate gambling so

[knotty zodiac]

the math can be simplified. sts found the sweet spot from what i hear

[celest cobalt]

same
i play very calculated poker hands

its more of an investment for me

[bronze leaf]

I just don't play poker

I hate gambling, even fake gambling with funny money points

[turbid nova]

I've only played poker variants with friends with no money on the line

[pale wolf]

poker is pretty lame tbh yea

[knotty zodiac]

im a lifetime donor in vegas 🔥

[cloud sinew]

twinning

[turbid nova]

have you guys played liar poker

[pale wolf]

so poker

[turbid nova]

or whatever it's called

[bronze leaf]

The pokemon casino stresses me out so much 😭

[knotty zodiac]

no one likes holdem here? im surprised xD

[celest cobalt]

RIGHT?

my exact reaction

[turbid nova]

I got great at timing for the fire red one

[celest cobalt]

i feel outcasted

[pale wolf]

what is there to like

[turbid nova]

I think I've played it but forgot how

[bronze leaf]

I'm just not a fan of many card games. I'll play them but I'm usually bored

[pale wolf]

My excitement about balatro doesn't have to do with how the specific poker hands are created

And that's kind of the only relevance poker has to balatro

[celest cobalt]

yea its about the love of chaos

[bronze leaf]

I also don't like 99% of rogue likes, so my love of Balatro is a complete outlier

[knotty zodiac]

i figured the theming creates some crossover appeal. they're also both quite calc intensive strategic games

[pale wolf]

there's definitely a shared knowledge of statistics, but I like the dynamicity of balatro versus how static poker odds are

[turbid nova]

does anyone play slay the spire here

I saw it's on apple arcade and I wanted to try it

[pale wolf]

probably nobody

I don't think anybody plays that game 🦓

[celest cobalt]

oh btw @pale wolf

[knotty zodiac]

i play coop weekly with some irl friends

its loads of fun

[misty tartan]

can legendary jokers be gotten from judgement?

[celest cobalt]

this was from the same run

[knotty zodiac]

(sts2)

[cloud sinew]

no

[pale wolf]

I'm joking of course, but I imagine A lot of the player base will move to the sequel once they are able to

[celest cobalt]

before i got my double trebuchet setup

[knotty zodiac]

are there any barriers besides $25 and waiting for 1.0?

[celest cobalt]

@pale wolf

[pale wolf]

well they were talking about the mobile version so

probably that

[atomic trout]

Fuu

[bronze leaf]

I know Google Play Store has an early access feature but idk how good it is compared to Steams

[knotty zodiac]

hm apple arcade is prob the original

ive played a good amount. it's more varied than balatro but in exchange the runs are longer and it takes much more thinking to play optimally

[pale wolf]

I admit I have not kept up with anything about it, I just thought it was in Early Access and that usually means steam or PC only

[turbid nova]

yes the first one

[river gust]

mee

just got the game recently

[bronze maple]

a few people in the modding channels do

[knotty zodiac]

there's also the sts discord ofc

[cloud sinew]

discorb

[knotty zodiac]

i cant type gg

boomer fingers

[vale shale]

Played a pair of 3's lucky card
spaceman hits
first 3 hits money shot
second 3 hits another money shot
now what

[celest cobalt]

why did nobody acknowledge my screenshot 🥺

[pale wolf]

I hate how my zero turn mower at my job drifts faster instead of slower when my hands arent on the controls

thats so backwards

[knotty zodiac]

looks on track..? $70 lets go

[cloud sinew]

oh my god, zebra

[vale shale]

The eye 🥀

[turbid nova]

oh my god I'm switching the language immediately this spanish translation is horrible 😭

[cloud sinew]

i just got a "Judgement required to win the blind" moment like u did before

hold on

[knotty zodiac]

hc levels? xD

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf

[vale shale]

Lvl 2

[turbid nova]

also some of the text doesn’t fit in the screen :/

looks ugly

[bronze leaf]

Css is my hobby

[knotty zodiac]

STS isn't a very pretty game

the graphics get the job done for the most part

STS2 is a bit prettier but the gameplay is still clearly the main focus imo

[solid bronze]

riff raff i love you

[vestal copper]

🔥

[echo sphinx]

hubris

lost on white stake
cause: sold runner for hiker

[turbid nova]

??????

[echo sphinx]

need to stop deleting load bearing jokers lol

[cloud sinew]

L

greed

[knotty zodiac]

u wot m8?

[echo sphinx]

yes

i lost with blueprint brainstorm

[knotty zodiac]

why hiker tho? style points?

[turbid nova]

hiker is like ok??

but for runner??

also cloud 9 and rebate is a lil redundant

rebate with 2 copies is already generating massive amounts of cash

[knotty zodiac]

my greed is eternal

moar money = moar good

[pale wolf]

classic

did you see my bull clip from the past couple days

it saved

[pale wolf]

oh I just read back a couple messages, that was exactly why you pinged me

duh

[turbid nova]

ohh I had a judgement clutch like this once

[pale wolf]

I'm in the middle of working so 🦓

[turbid nova]

I don't remember what joker it was

[versed sable]

pure skill

[frank grove]

eternal steel naneinf

[knotty zodiac]

must be troll must be troll must be troll

[calm sapphire]

thats like almost naninf

[coarse copper]

ahhhh such a shame if i'd got the invisible joker a tiny but earlier i could've kept this going maybe

[spring radish]

anyone interested in playing balatro with 3+ players?
-# such as co-op, 2v2, FFA
ignore if no

[shell lava]

lowkey

[knotty zodiac]

igloo if norway

[shell lava]

I just started locking in on balatro today

and

I won my first two runs back to back

[echo sphinx]

IT IS OVER

[knotty zodiac]

gg!

long time comin

[icy hollow]

I think so too but... after seeing the red seal comment hit -1.1k.... im not so sure anymore

[knotty zodiac]

thats a matter of strategy

this would be a matter of not understanding eternals

[shell lava]

is this how balatro feels for most people

dude my internet is bullshit rn

[celest cobalt]

guys i need help

im shitting bricks

[uneven moon]

id looooove a chad rn 👀👀👀👀👀👀v

[waxen quartz]

seems like enough for this ante. tough to do more I think

[serene forge]

eternal steel joker naneinf

[shell lava]

my internet is genuinely shitting my pants rn

[rustic haven]

i love getting a bp shop 1 buffoon and 0 scoring jokers in 4 antes

feels great

[shell lava]

my best hand so far is 500 something k chips ❤️

[rustic haven]

almost like

[waxen quartz]

feasible. hard one, but feasible

[rustic haven]

they arent good jokers

why my bp not doin anything

smh

[serene forge]

oh this was posted

[fringe nebula]

no, it's too late for perkeo ankh ecto at that point

[cloud sinew]

ragebait has never been more obvious

[waxen quartz]

I mean in general. can make a deck of 500 steel. can get 150 ankh/a few less ecto, but have to get to pretty high antes

[celest cobalt]

nvm im just goated

[serene forge]

if they didnt mention shoot the moon then i wouldnt even think it's bait

this game really has just exposed how many people are bad at math

[rustic haven]

hc or 2p seed?

hmmm

[serene forge]

pair

[rustic haven]

decisions

[fringe nebula]

I'm talking about the screenshot

[waxen quartz]

it's bait because the question should I sell steel joker is there 🙂

[cloud sinew]

foil trousers is a very easy decision

[fringe nebula]

ante 13 is too late

[shell lava]

my internet is so bad people are talking between my messages and I cant see them

[rustic haven]

that wasnt the question ma'am

[serene forge]

dont car

[turbid nova]

Are you rerolling the hook

[rustic haven]

car

[shell lava]

🥀

[rustic haven]

but stm

[cloud sinew]

and?

[fringe nebula]

take pants

[rustic haven]

expensive

[fringe nebula]

no brainer

[rustic haven]

but stm

[cloud sinew]

it puts you down to $12, that's fine.

[serene forge]

its also foil keep in mind

[turbid nova]

What about it

[rustic haven]

its the goat

[shell lava]

discord on service is like a lobotomy

[cloud sinew]

it is not

[rustic haven]

it is

[turbid nova]

You can just play cards other than queens

[serene forge]

how many times have you seen an ante 2 pants and not take it

[rustic haven]

that requires getting good draws

[cloud sinew]

it's very draw reliant and it's very vulnerable to bosses

[rustic haven]

not many, i barely see pants
