[compact gazelle]

Just reroll till you find burger, can't be that hard

Thats what I did at least

[lost vault]

yummy burger

[humble gulch]

Yes

[glass creek]

I have this like 24/7 except I can't actually find pfps most of the time

Goombella is awesome anyway

[lost vault]

i dont ever have to find new pfps

i always just recycle the same madoka pfp

s

cept that one tome i was a boykisser

[pale wolf]

i commissioned mine

[abstract vapor]

Just use anime pfps

[humble gulch]

:3

[terse gyro]

\

bro

ante 2

[abstract vapor]

Worked for me until I got this pfp

[glass creek]

I should probably clarify that I mean pfps that I actually like and want to use

[abstract vapor]

What's wrong with anime pfps

[abstract vapor]

You have a lot to choose from

[humble gulch]

Are they in Balatro

[abstract vapor]

Worst leg 😭

[pale wolf]

she should be

[glass creek]

Nothing, that just applies to any type of pfp in general

[abstract vapor]

Each to their own ig

[humble gulch]

I use cute pfps to feel cute

🐑

[languid flower]

except ayanokoji specifically

[pale wolf]

im cuter than my pfp

[humble gulch]

You might, I'm not into elderly men tho

[abstract vapor]

You dont wanna be an alpha sigma ayanokoji ?

[pale wolf]

hey 58 isnt elderly

[abstract vapor]

Ancient one, will you pass on some advice for this young lad

[glass creek]

Gonna buy one of these and play balatro on it

[humble gulch]

It's sad that the console port it's trash

I hate how it plays

❤️‍🩹

[gilded pine]

Whats wrong

[glass creek]

I'd be playing the steam version

[humble gulch]

I mean as in controls

[valid plover]

what does the e in numbers mean

[glass creek]

Oh

Tbh I like playing balatro with a controller, call me insane if you want

[humble gulch]

X followed by amount of zeros

[pale wolf]

100 pushups, 100 situp, and 100 squats
10 km run
breakfast every day.(even if only a cavendish)
no breaks, every single day.

[full rune]

Balatro is for the steam deck

[valid plover]

a wario? in the waluigi factory? how bizzare

[abstract vapor]

Already do that, except the Cavendish, unfortunately they keep breaking on me

[glass creek]

I already have one of those though

[languid flower]

i guess we doin warios now

[pale wolf]

you have to have breakfast every day.

if you ever take a break, you won't do it

[humble gulch]

The only hard part about Saitama's training is the 10 km 😭

[terse gyro]

fumbled it after

[abstract vapor]

I'll stick with my overnight oatmeal
You can get one now at your local store for only $10.99 😉

[humble gulch]

Cold oatmeal is gross

[pale wolf]

you sound older than me

[abstract vapor]

Thanks

[abstract vapor]

I switch it up sometimes

[earnest flame]

How good is 4 mimes and a bean (better than I thought)

[abstract vapor]

And tbh its just the convience of your oatmeal being in a bottle that you can take with you anywhere. You can get one now for only $10.99 at your local supermarket. Limited time only

[full rune]

wild because you're 58

[pale wolf]

i do instant oatmeal with my uhhhh the buzz box

whatever it's called

microscope

[pale wolf]

right!

🦓

[abstract vapor]

If I have instant oatmeal its gotta be quaker for me

[lost vault]

MIAUW

[abstract vapor]

Quaker, protein banana nut

[humble gulch]

Glup glup

[lost vault]

[full rune]

I never forget a pretty face

[pale wolf]

wtf is this stupid feline doing

[lost vault]

:3

[humble gulch]

They're practicing their rizz with us 💔

[abstract vapor]

It's working

[lost vault]

rizzy

[pale wolf]

you know what they say about Big Hands

[humble gulch]

Small blind

[lost vault]

the bigger the hand the more nutritional value

[full rune]

hard to find a good pair of gloves

[pale wolf]

80 deck size minimum

[lost vault]

😋

[valid plover]

so is this guy getting more than a googol of score

what the fuck goes on in cryptid

[abstract vapor]

Cryptid?

[pale wolf]

people get that in vanilla

but yea that's modded

[valid plover]

fucking how

[blissful fog]

I finally beat nebula deck lesgoo

[abstract vapor]

I'm surprised he only has that many tbh with how op cryptid is

[lost vault]

lowkey thats a low ass score for cryptid standards

[pale wolf]

you can reach e100 with retriggers on glass and trib/idol/maybe lots of photochad, or ofc baron mime

[lost vault]

ive seen scores in cryptid with three e's in them

[terse gyro]

just beat golden needle

[blissful fog]

Baron mime is more consistent togetting e100

[lost vault]

like ee3e6 or something

[abstract vapor]

I think its because hes literally only allowed to use the wario

[terse gyro]

i was genuinely sleeping on the banner until this run

[lost vault]

hes probably using abstract cards if i had to guess

[valid plover]

i dream of getting the perfect setup to duplicate hanging chad

[abstract vapor]

It's a common so it can't be that hars

[valid plover]

anyway it's 6am
should i get some rest (i will wake up at 12-1pm)

[abstract vapor]

Eu?

[pale wolf]

goodnight balatro cord

[humble gulch]

I hate Monster

[full rune]

feline punch

[pale wolf]

i. hate you😡

[abstract vapor]

White is 👌

[valid plover]

what if there was a card that let you play an extra card each hand

flush six🔥

[full rune]

artificial sweeteners have the same effect on your body that sugar does.

[abstract vapor]

Cryptid...

[humble gulch]

:3

[abstract vapor]

I only drink energy drinks before workouts

[pale wolf]

not really

[full rune]

I have never met a healthy individual that drinks energy drinks

[cosmic sun]

Ah yes and every study is always a lethal dose of the same chemicals to mice

[full rune]

Well duh, that's how LD50 works

[abstract vapor]

You dont talk to very many people

[humble gulch]

I hate energy drinks, it's like coffee but it tastes too sweet and makes me sleepy anyways

[pale wolf]

some monsters aren't very sweet

[full rune]

Not sure why you're being so defensive about it fam

[cosmic sun]

I like Ultra Ruby Fantasy Red

[humble gulch]

I don't really like soda anyways

[abstract vapor]

I'm not tho, its just not true

[full rune]

My anectodal experience is mine lol

[pale wolf]

i like white monster

[cosmic sun]

Everytime I hear about "artificial sweeteners bad" it gets debunked instantly

[pale wolf]

but the best ones are the non sugar free

juice monsters

ok goodnight

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey Northernlion ranting about people diet soda shaming got me to look into it

[humble gulch]

Real, I love aspartame

[lost vault]

me tototo

[abstract vapor]

Tbh, c4 is better than monster

[abstract vapor]

Gn

[cosmic sun]

You know what else chat

[lost vault]

im healthy

[humble gulch]

It's sad how many grown adults don't understand how nutrition works at all

[lost vault]

:3

[cosmic sun]

Aluminum in deodorant will not kill you and I am convinced that natural deodorants are all marketing and a scam

[lost vault]

i know what fiber does!!

its so awesome

[cosmic sun]

Also it is the ingredient that makes you not stinky

[lost vault]

is it even a deodorant if it doesnt make you not stink

[humble gulch]

Imagine "quiting" sugar when your brain runs on sugar

[lost vault]

i like sugar

😋

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey just covers up the stink without the antiperspirant part

🤢

[lost vault]

yuck

[humble gulch]

If I were older I'd have diabetes

[lost vault]

if my deodorant isnt antiperspirant then its dead to me

[lost vault]

me too probably

i eat so much starburst

and other things

i used to drink lots of soder

now im a water lunatic

kidney stones are horiffying

[humble gulch]

Lmao

[valid plover]

bro wants the negative so bad

[humble gulch]

I eat pretty bad but I'm so active both mentally and physically 😭

[lost vault]

who doesnt

i eat pretty bad too but im pretty sure i just have a fast metabolism

cuz im like 130 lbs at 6'0

american units

yay

[humble gulch]

I mean as in I eat pretty unhealthy

[lost vault]

yea

[humble gulch]

I can't gain weight

[lost vault]

darn

[humble gulch]

I'm also an ectomorph

🐑

[lost vault]

i havent weighed myself in a whike

wtf does that mean

[humble gulch]

Fast metabolism, your body barely stores energy as fat

[civic narwhal]

Any tips for recovering econ? Idk if I'm doing it wrong but I rolled down to keep myself alive but then I have zero money and couldn't scale fast enough 😔

[humble gulch]

And usually skinny

[lost vault]

oh

[humble gulch]

I weight like 56 kilos

I refuse to use freedom units

[lost vault]

whats 56 kilos in america units

fuck

;(

[humble gulch]

Sighhh

[lost vault]

123

lbs

[cosmic sun]

Ppl like that gotta work extra hard to keep a figure

[lost vault]

less than me!!

[civic narwhal]

Times that by 2

[lost vault]

why

[civic narwhal]

Kilo to pound is around 2x me thinks

[cosmic sun]

Metabolism does slow down after your 20s tho

[civic narwhal]

2.2 something

[humble gulch]

I'm exactly 6 foot tall lol

[lost vault]

same

well

i might be breaching 6'1

:(

[civic narwhal]

I'm uh, I'm underweight af compared to my height 💀 I'm not starving myself but I just can't gain weight

[lost vault]

whyd i have to get my stupid dad's height

[valid plover]

why do people hate chicot

[humble gulch]

Well, I'm 5'11.78

[lost vault]

we dont

[cosmic sun]

The weight thing is lowkey annoying

[humble gulch]

Just a centimeter off

[civic narwhal]

Clearly they trolling

[cosmic sun]

Like how doctors treat you if you're slightly underweight

[civic narwhal]

I do get it tho. I'm only 43 kg 💀

[lost vault]

ive been underweight most of my life and my doctor dont really treat me differently

[humble gulch]

I should weight a pound more

[civic narwhal]

They dont either cus I'm healthy apart from the fact that my bmi is cooked

[cosmic sun]

I think I was like 10lbs off the usual weight for my height and my doctor was trying to speedrun giving me body dysmorphia

[humble gulch]

Anything but Balatro (I started it)

[cosmic sun]

Like blud I am not skin and bones

[civic narwhal]

"game discussion"

[humble gulch]

Game of life

[civic narwhal]

True

[humble gulch]

Surelly talking in Discord won't distract me from playing the piano

[civic narwhal]

I also play this game instead of writing my book 🥀

Excuse: writer’s block

[full rune]

Can we talk about this tag

Is it good

Is it free econ

Is a free shop worth the trouble of skipping the blind

[full rune]

Is your piano manual or automatic

[humble gulch]

It's a keyboard but nobody says "I play the keyboard"

[humble gulch]

It's a gamble

Either it's really good or a wasted blind

[patent sail]

only like ante 1

if its ante 1 sure ill take it

past that ehhhhh no

okay cro

[cedar sable]

i hate tribe

it's so uncommon than rare imo

[patent sail]

well it must fit in with the lineup of "simple rare hand type xmult"

[cedar sable]

yeah but the 2x

not worth

[patent sail]

only cuz flushes are easy like that

[cedar sable]

wait I'm dumb

you can just

get a flush that has a pair in it or etc

:xdd:

then the order has to be the worst one

[patent sail]

no?????

order is so fucking good

[cedar sable]

either that

family

[patent sail]

family yup

[cedar sable]

god i hate trying to setup 4oak

[patent sail]

my least used rare lmao

[cedar sable]

but order only synergies with tribe

[heavy heron]

😎

[patent sail]

so what

[cedar sable]

while family synergies with everything but order

[humble gulch]

My left hand hurts

[heavy heron]

why call them sunglasses when you can call them sunjustices

[cedar sable]

but still 4oak sucks

[patent sail]

it doesnt need anything else cuz how strong straights are

[cedar sable]

trio best one imo

easy to do

half jimbo value

[patent sail]

duo is right there

[echo sphinx]

family is kinda the least synergistic rare

[cedar sable]

and synergies with duo

[patent sail]

order and duo my beloved

[heavy heron]

duo for flushes isn’t bad

[heavy heron]

knockoff tribe

[heavy heron]

THE TOILET?!?!?!?

just because you’re flushing…

the disrespect

[patent sail]

lost at ante 1 boss with that tjing

[heavy heron]

well most of the x mult rares

you lose ante 1 anyway, if at all

[cedar sable]

ik like duo is

the easiest to work with

and half jimbo value too

but

[patent sail]

unfortunately i want smiley face sticker

[cedar sable]

without half jimbo

[patent sail]

so we are playing photochad

[cedar sable]

duo sucks in early game

because of pair does 4 mult

[patent sail]

okayyyyy

[cedar sable]

wait what does base 3oak

TAKE BRAINSTORM

[patent sail]

bye abstract

[patent sail]

ofc twin

[heavy heron]

…where’s your photograph

[cedar sable]

i ate it

yum

[patent sail]

hes just animated dont worry

[heavy heron]

i uhh i see

i can’t picture why that’d be the case

get it

picture

[cedar sable]

ngl i should mod the texts too for my balatro

because idk

anyways

[patent sail]

my photograph is Photo... and hanging chad is ...chad

[cedar sable]

nerf mystic summit

[heavy heron]

i’ll mod flowerpot’s name to ashy’s housewarming gift

[cedar sable]

petition to change photograph name to looks and hanging chad to inside

because

looks inside

[cedar sable]

LOL

SO TRUE

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL SO YOURE JUST LYING

NAHHH

it’s just the order

but with more steps

flower pot straights trust

[cedar sable]

I HATE FLOWER POT BROOO

IT'S SO HARD TO USE

[patent sail]

which betrays you sometimes

2 times i gave it a chance to redeem itself on a straights run

[lost vault]

flower mid

[patent sail]

and ofc i got straights with only 3suits

[cedar sable]

ngl

idk

[lost vault]

ngl

[cedar sable]

what's 3oak base mult again

[lost vault]

meow

[humble gulch]

How are the grandchilds doing

[patent sail]

it worked on a straights run ONCE all thanks to shortcut

[cedar sable]

meow

[lost vault]

3

[lost vault]

what 😭

[cedar sable]

ok cool

[humble gulch]

:3

[cedar sable]

then trio is better for early game than duo

[patent sail]

:3c

mrrp nya

[lost vault]

im not that old mF

mreow

[cedar sable]

even tho both can work with half jimbo

[lost vault]

:(

[humble gulch]

You're 2 whole decades older

[cedar sable]

anyways

[lost vault]

noo

i am

19

not even 2 decands

[patent sail]

my brains.... they are so stormed....

[lost vault]

my prints

they are so

blue

[humble gulch]

You're XIX years old

[patent sail]

but brains happen to get stormed a lot more often

[cedar sable]

timmus citsym fren slp knuhtlacol@

[lost vault]

mhm

[humble gulch]

There's two Xs right there and X is equal to 10

Therefore

Two decades

[patent sail]

what the fuck are these lucky card procs why does the game love me like that

[humble gulch]

Checkmate

[cedar sable]

lucky cards did me dirty

like

20 times played

not a single proc

absolute cinema

[patent sail]

ONE time i try to run photochad

[cedar sable]

justice

do it

[patent sail]

making a glass 7 and praying

[terse gyro]

golden needle was a cakewalk compared to this

[humble gulch]

Cruelty is easy

[cedar sable]

what

[humble gulch]

Just get to 25 dollars and it's gold stake lite

[cedar sable]

golden needle is the hardest challenge

[humble gulch]

Not even that

[cedar sable]

because you need like

[humble gulch]

White stake painted

[cedar sable]

to 1 shot every blind

[cedar sable]

SO TRUE

[terse gyro]

what jokers are good for the cruelty challenge

[terse gyro]

yeah it only took me 2 attempts

[humble gulch]

Just do pairslop

[terse gyro]

this one ive been stuck on for a while

[humble gulch]

Cruelty is just a normal run

With less econ

[cedar sable]

LIKE I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY JOKER SLOTS

[humble gulch]

You only need 3 scoring jokers to win in gold stake anyways

[patent sail]

GLASS 7 DRAWN AT THE PLANT

this better win

[cedar sable]

ik +2 hand size

but still -1 joker slot is a crime for me

[patent sail]

its 2k off

im dead

[cedar sable]

ggs

lock in

lemme see your board

[patent sail]

5OAK OF 6S JUMPSCARE

[cedar sable]

LOL

[patent sail]

clutch

on last hand

wtf

[cedar sable]

we're so back

[patent sail]

yup 3k barely saved me

[cedar sable]

anyways

nerf mystic summit

[patent sail]

insane clutch

anyways

[cedar sable]

because like

michelle does +15 mult

[humble gulch]

Grr, I need hummus

Hummus is so yummy

[cedar sable]

buttt

[earnest flame]

Huh

[lost vault]

butt

[humble gulch]

Yeah, three scoring jokers and two value generators to usually boost your scoring jokers or econ

[cedar sable]

summit is like

the cooler daniel

+15 mult on 0 discards

ik Cavendish

but imo summit outperforms suit jokers

suit jokers did +15 mult too (flush) but you need to do that exact suit flush

making me to say this

[earnest flame]

Usually you need*

[cedar sable]

localthunk pls nerf mystic summit

[humble gulch]

I mean, most of the time it's 3, of course sometimes you'll need a fourth one

Needing 5 scoring jokers it's actually pretty rare

[earnest flame]

And sometimes you can do with one

And in some rare cases none

[cedar sable]

jokerless

the only rare case

[earnest flame]

Pretty often you can do just fine with 2 scoring jokers

[cedar sable]

one is with madness

[humble gulch]

For you to win with none you obviously took jokers before unless you're crazy

[cedar sable]

but yeah 3 is enough

just get like

egg swash

free +mult

and get xmult to get more score

[humble gulch]

I'll take just the egg, thanks

[earnest flame]

You can generate scoring from other places than jokers while jokers are only there for value

[cedar sable]

but that's just me

[patent sail]

i first read it as Humans and was confused

[cedar sable]

but the +mult

[earnest flame]

Again, weird generalization, I dont feel like 3 scoring jokers is some kind of norm in big majority of gs runs

In most runs yes

[humble gulch]

I mean, are kisses considered eating

[lost vault]

it varies

[earnest flame]

Exactly

[lost vault]

no but they can be yummy

[terse gyro]

negative tag actually coming thru for cruelity

[humble gulch]

Real

[earnest flame]

For black deck absolutely id say 3 scorers is a norm

[cedar sable]

half jimbo isn't that bad

but that's just me

[terse gyro]

pair slop

[cedar sable]

nah id 3oak

[earnest flame]

Ghost can do just fine with 2 thanks to hex

Plasma is plasma

[humble gulch]

Of course that in the harder decks you're going to need 4 scoring jokers most of the time

[cedar sable]

plasma is stuntman

/j

but tbh stuntman is goated for plasma

[patent sail]

eh

good early

[cedar sable]

anyways give me tips on how to unlock merry andy

[patent sail]

then chip scalers outscale him

like square

[lost vault]

skip every blind except the first ante

[cedar sable]

wait lemme see how much after balance

[humble gulch]

Getting square past 200 is some serious dedication

[cedar sable]

15k

not too good

[patent sail]

square is usually 200+

[humble gulch]

I only spam that many hands with obelisk ❤️‍🩹

[cedar sable]

yeah you need to copy stuntman 2 times to clear ante 8

[humble gulch]

I stop caring about square once it reaches like 160

[lost vault]

throwing

square up cro

[cedar sable]

wait i forgot how much stuntman do again

250 chips right

[obsidian patrol]

250

[cedar sable]

cool

but the problem is if you want to speedrun with it

[humble gulch]

As in I start playing five card hands to dig for seals

Or gold

[cedar sable]

you need both blueprint and brainstorm iirc

or just

banner

blue jimbo

[earnest flame]

Good luck finding two copy jokers on gold when you have actively nerfed your economy by tiny handsize

[lost vault]

throwing

[humble gulch]

Grrr

[lost vault]

prrr~

[cedar sable]

i said speedrun not gs

[lost vault]

blob

[cedar sable]

speedrun is like

get 200k score asap

or get fucked by vv

[lost vault]

johnestly

for the mandy/wee unlock

[earnest flame]

Im pretty sure speedrunners aim for bull instead

[lost vault]

i used yellow deck

[earnest flame]

Unless we are talking about some plasma white only runs

[cedar sable]

you need $125 to be on par with stuntman

[earnest flame]

Skip tags

[cedar sable]

while stuntman

[lost vault]

not very difficult if u dont spemd

[cedar sable]

$8

250 chips

[lost vault]

250 doesnt clear purple stake

or green i thinm

i mean it even need some supplements to beat white stake

which isnt hard

[earnest flame]

Im pretty sure on gs all decks speedruns bull is way more reliable than going for stuntman

[lost vault]

but bull scales

[earnest flame]

Im not saying they wont do it

[cedar sable]

ok fine I'm talking about plasma deck

because i want to get merry andy

[lost vault]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cedar sable]

the requirement is so harsh for other decks than plasma

[lost vault]

play the first ante

skip everything else

wait

first 2?

i forgot the req

[cedar sable]

yeah first 2

12 or under

[lost vault]

and no its not that harsh

[cedar sable]

iirc

imo it is

[lost vault]

i did it on yellow deck

:p

in like 3 trues

tries

[cedar sable]

how

[lost vault]

the main killer of my runs was me forgetting to skip too

[earnest flame]

You can clear white stake if you just start with throwback im pretty sure

[lost vault]

white stake is easy thats how

[lost vault]

yep

[cedar sable]

yeah i might snipe 2 jokers then

[earnest flame]

Just grab some flat mult joker on the way and blast through

[cedar sable]

merry andy and

one for not having more than 4 jokers in a run

idk what's called

[terse gyro]

cruelity done

[cedar sable]

ggs

[terse gyro]

i got super lucky and got an ectoplasm

[lost vault]

cruelty

[cedar sable]

ok cruelty is harsh wtf

3 joker slots

[lost vault]

i feel like that build should be giving more than 100k 😭

[patent sail]

i was wondering where did my score go

i was still copying chad after killing plant with glass

[terse gyro]

last one now

jokerless

[patent sail]

easy

straights

[terse gyro]

thats the one thing standing between me and 100%

[cedar sable]

gl on 2nd hardest challenge

[patent sail]

jokerless aint even that bad like i was struggling to get 4oak to work for months and then straights won me it 1st try

mannn

its okay it would copy smiley anyway

[terse gyro]

Broooooo

[cedar sable]

wrong reaction

mb

[humble gulch]

My left pinky hurts :3

[patent sail]

dude

i would kill smiley but i want to sticker it

do i do this

[lost vault]

WHY IS HE WINKING

[patent sail]

animated

[cedar sable]

then kill brainstorm

[patent sail]

i guess yeah

bs is rental

[cedar sable]

because uhh it has rental sticker

[patent sail]

so this is better

also can place smiley before photo then

slightly more 🔥🪲

[cedar sable]

so true

[patent sail]

okay yeah that was +20k to the score

NAT NEGATIVE RESRVED PARKING

BOSS IS HEART WHY

[cedar sable]

LOL

[full rune]

Can ai play balatro? Lets find out

[cedar sable]

LOL

[patent sail]

if i was good at anything id make a program that lets AI see the state of the game and actually play it itself (kinda like mindcraft project but for balala)

[full rune]

TAS it

[patent sail]

mindcraft is so awesome i hope yall seen it

[patent sail]

why tas when its more interesting to see what choices ai would make

its not about playing the game for me cuz it will most likely suck, it would be just interesting to see what it does

[full rune]

Ok ai says ignore popcorn but I'm hungry

And thete is no popcorn

Thanks ai

[earnest flame]

Full skip scuffed pog baron white stake run

[patent sail]

will play more erratic to get a lot of faces deck to finally utilize sock (ew faces)

[earnest flame]

Even sold throwback at 5x just to see if you can just pull off anything on white stake

[tardy spade]

assuming you have a lot of money and enough to win the run, is there a point picking up useless natural negatives?

[earnest flame]

At like ante 5 iirc

[patent sail]

temperance value

[tardy spade]

good point

[patent sail]

and stickers

and funny

[celest cobalt]

is canio not as good as the other legendary jokers

or is that just me

tbf none of the legendary jokers come close to perkeo and trebuchet

[humble gulch]

Those are the two worst btw

Canio is the second best legendary

[celest cobalt]

sure buddy lets say that

until you realise the true majesty of perkeo

[tardy spade]

how about... hear me out:
We don't identify any legendaries as objectively good or bad and say it all depends on the type of build

[celest cobalt]

even early game
just pair it with a blueprint and hermit
and thats free money

[celest cobalt]

nuh uh
perkeo is just better

[humble gulch]

We say something is good or bad based on consistency so

[tardy spade]

what if you have nothing to copy

[celest cobalt]

thats a skill issue

[tardy spade]

yorick can be very consistently upgraded with discards

[scenic sorrel]

perkeo is the best legendary in my opinion

[celest cobalt]

and yet nowhere close to the mult perkeo gives with the telescoping

[humble gulch]

Perkeo is good, it's an econ option and deck fixing but most of the time it lacks a lot without blueprint or brainstorm also being sometimes demanding

[tardy spade]

that requires observatory. Which is not consistent to get every run

[earnest flame]

What if you can have a good joker that wins the game without banking on landing a blueprint and a hermit? Wouldn't that be better?

[scenic sorrel]

my negative perkeo run (it was ass otherwise)

[celest cobalt]

sure but whats the fun there

[tardy spade]

where does fun come into this? The discussion was about consistency

[celest cobalt]

my first win made it to ante 17

[scenic sorrel]

nolife

[celest cobalt]

fair enough

[humble gulch]

Trib is the most inconsistent one, it needs levels and retriggers, has hard counters and sometimes it can be a pain to deck fix towards it

[celest cobalt]

i just had a good plan

[celest cobalt]

oh i didnt know that

[humble gulch]

That doesn't makes trib bad, it's just the worst out of the five

[celest cobalt]

i thought the discussion was
who hits harder

[celest cobalt]

yea based on consistency sure

[tardy spade]

this is why you can't pick an objectively best legendary.
Because all of them are different

[earnest flame]

Ive had perkeo observatory runs go past ante 24 and I've had perkeo runs where I've copied Neptune cards for 2 antes in a row until I could finally swap it out to hung man and then the game was already over

[tardy spade]

but trib can lead to very high scores when deckfixed right.

[humble gulch]

Which doesn't matter because you only need 400,000

[tardy spade]

Chicot feels underwhelming because it gives you nothing to work towards but the actual effect is good.

[earnest flame]

Trib is just idol but in the end more restrictive

[tardy spade]

1.2 million

[humble gulch]

Pairs can do that with less resources ❤️‍🩹

[tardy spade]

so is green joker better than trib?

[humble gulch]

Most of the time

Yeah

I'd sell trib for a green joker in the first 3 antes

[celest cobalt]

consistency wise blueprint is the best joker

[earnest flame]

Ehhh

[celest cobalt]

cause he can be who you want him to be

[tardy spade]

blueprint is only as good as your best joker

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[celest cobalt]

precisely

[tardy spade]

there is no "best joker" in this game.

[humble gulch]

That doesn't makes it consistent

[humble gulch]

Rebate ❤️‍🩹

[tardy spade]

and perkeo is only as good as your best consumable.
That does not make it consistent either.

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[earnest flame]

But perkeo naneinf pog dont you get it

[tardy spade]

ok well as econ jokers go, I agree rebate is far more overpowered than the others. Rebate is the best econ joker.

[earnest flame]

Baron has potential to score million times more than trib but its still ass in most runs

[humble gulch]

Rebate is always a take if you have discards and an open slot

[earnest flame]

Chad is the best chip/econ/support jonkler

All star

[tardy spade]

perkeo can score naneinf but that is far from being consistent

unless you're roffle on gold stake ghost deck

[earnest flame]

Perkeo itself doesnt score anything

[tardy spade]

yeah it needs help from other tools

either observatory + planets or cryptid + scoring cards

everything in this game is a tool

tools by themselves are not good or bad, it's how you use them that is.

[earnest flame]

On gold stake perkeo is pretty much equal to vagabond

On ante 8 runs

[tardy spade]

or cartomancer

[earnest flame]

Noo

[humble gulch]

Perkeo is a cartomancer with creative mode

[earnest flame]

Vagabond is way stronger than cartomancer

[tardy spade]

irrelevant

[earnest flame]

So is perkeo, but perkeo and vagabond are about the same

[tardy spade]

oh wait by equal you meant equal strength?

[earnest flame]

Yes

[tardy spade]

alright

[humble gulch]

Perkeo is lowkey a straights joker

[earnest flame]

Perkeo is a bit stronger but id still take vagabond myself over Perkeo

[humble gulch]

Spam saturns

[lost vault]

prrr

[earnest flame]

Well, if im on black deck then perkeo is a clear winner

[tardy spade]

I'll take whichever one comes first assuming it can work for the run

[lost vault]

rah

[earnest flame]

It just shows how far away in strength perkeo is from yorick/chicot/canio on gold stake

[humble gulch]

Get contaminated with brain parasites that makes you attracted to the smell of cat urine

[terse gyro]

release me from jokerless 😭

[tardy spade]

ok let's discuss yorick

[earnest flame]

I still haven't decided myself if perkeo or trib is better in general

Gs

[humble gulch]

x1 every ante for free

[earnest flame]

What about yorick, its pretty much a free win

[lost vault]

no thanks :3

[tardy spade]

one time on the non-perishable challenge I took an eternal burglar and then ripped a soul and got an eternal yorick

yorick scales about x1 mult per 2.5 rounds

[lost vault]

2.3

[tardy spade]

assuming you have base discards

[humble gulch]

Yorick is just winning

[tardy spade]

I said "about" for a reason

[lost vault]

idc

reason stupid

:3

[tardy spade]

but it doesn't win the run for you. If you get it ante 1 the run isn't won immediately

it's an xmult option
Like canio, hologram, constellation

[humble gulch]

Except Yorick scales for free

And consistently

[tardy spade]

true

[rain temple]

its done.

[tardy spade]

I'm absolutely not saying yorick is bad, or even worse than the others

it's a legendary joker, it should be better than the uncommon ones

[earnest flame]

It is

[tardy spade]

it is indeed

[humble gulch]

Yorick is a x2 as a minimum

like, getting it in ante 7 or start of ante 8

[tardy spade]

although in certain situations I think hologram could outscale it.
There are situations I'd want a hologram over a yorick

[tardy spade]

x2 is good but not better than blackboard, driver's license, cavendish

[swift moss]

[humble gulch]

I don't think is even worth discussing Yorick, is just top 10 ❤️‍🩹

[rain temple]

Id say so

[tardy spade]

it is, I'm just saying there's situations where perkeo or trib are better for the run

there isn't an objectively best legendary

[humble gulch]

Consistency

🐑

[swift moss]

depends on when you get it rly, earlygame it's ZAMN!!!! lategame it's bruh

well

actually

that's true for most jokers...

[earnest flame]

I really dont even care about the legendaries cause they make no meaningful difference in 99% of the runs because of their rarity, i just find it somewhat annoying that perkeo is so overvalued by so many people

[swift moss]

anything is better early on cuz you still have build flexibility

[earnest flame]

Baron is ass early

[swift moss]

at least it gives direction?

like

you'll know what to build for at least

[tardy spade]

obelisk?

[earnest flame]

Direction to where? To the next game?

[humble gulch]

Obelisk is even better early

[swift moss]

get to storing a random hand and cash in later

[tardy spade]

it's essentially useless the first 4 antes and just takes up a joker slot

[swift moss]

also

been a while~

[humble gulch]

Yeah, but it's easier to set up with it in mind

[patent sail]

oh okay

[tardy spade]

welcome back

[tardy spade]

true, I'll give you that

[swift moss]

yea im js popping by here. im bored as all hell XD

[humble gulch]

I hate how that missprint looks

[earnest flame]

Try picking up baron in first ante gold stake and try not to lose while actively trying to build around it, hell you dont even need to build around it, just the economic hit from it is enough in most cases to send you to next game

[patent sail]

its animated!!!

bad frame

[earnest flame]

Same as going broke for a blueprint in first ante

[patent sail]

it has an animation of machine printing jimbos and one getting jammed

[earnest flame]

I have made some absolute dog builds beat ante 8 on gold stake but I've still not managed to do a meme baron or bloodstone build and win

[humble gulch]

Ante 1 obelisk and anything pairslop and it'll give you a 30 hand ceiling

[patent sail]

anyways nat negative bus is a godsend

thank you localthunk

[patent sail]

and i immideately played 2pair with faces

[earnest flame]

Or this one, zero xmult run, and this was easier to pull off than starting with baron ante 1 and trying to make it work

Baron is bait

[tardy spade]

I had a 0 xmult run which I beat using mr. bones

no, I do not count mr bones as xmult

[earnest flame]

No steel no glass?

[tardy spade]

I can't remember if that's the run where I sacrificed a pair of glass cards to win me the run

but I don't think it was

it was green joker with burglar

and a bunch of blue seals

[earnest flame]

Green jonkler carry

[patent sail]

found no chips and perished at ante 3 water

[ruby mulch]

they cant like nerf jokers or anything right since then every past run wouldnt count yk

but also when was the last update

[willow frost]

they can nerf jokers

[civic narwhal]

Played a royal flush on red stake black deck lmao

It's so ass 💔 (wish we could see run history cus I clicked off before I could screenshot)

...????

Buru

Bruh

[heady river]

Good one

[patent sail]

rebate is getting nerfed

[sullen hornet]

How?

[patent sail]

i think its back to +3 bucks instead of +5

but wouldnt wanna spread misinformation

[turbid nova]

holy money farm

green deck being goated as usual

[sullen hornet]

I mean, still something

[glossy remnant]

What should i remove here?

[tardy spade]

it's possible to see all ante 8 boss blinds without director's cut/reroll skips

[blissful fog]

Neg egg

[cedar sable]

damn

no more rebate money

then stonks is the best money gen

[blissful fog]

Money printer(golden ticket) still good in the next update right?

[patent sail]

negg!

[cedar sable]

idk maybe it'll get nerfed

[blissful fog]

No way

[cedar sable]

actually there's no way right

wait

no yeah might be nerfed

[blissful fog]

Hopefully not all money makers get nerfed

[sullen hornet]

Interesting

[cedar sable]

make egg increase value to $4 /j

[patent sail]

i think only rebate is confirmed

[green apex]

how much is rebate nerfed

[turbid nova]

ah look who it is

my first time having both of these together

[ornate gyro]

Hi

?

[alpine stone]

Filthy scammer

[turbid nova]

ack

[ornate gyro]

Me?

[alpine stone]

No that ticket thing

[ornate gyro]

Ohh

😭

[alpine stone]

I'm forcing Jimbo to be my joker

For the next run

[ornate gyro]

I need the mysterious summit joker RIGHT now

Mystic summit

[tardy spade]

I feel like clearance sale and liquidation should not affect sell value. Nowhere on the card does it say that

if you say sell value is half the cost, while you may be correct, that's also not communicated in the game anywhere

so unless either of those 2 things are explicitly stated, sell value should be unaffected by clearance sale and liquidation

[alpine stone]

wtf I had no idea

[tardy spade]

case in point

[alpine stone]

exactly

[tulip berry]

Im placing blocks n' shit

[tardy spade]

they could phrase it as "All cards and packs in shop buy and sell for 25% less"

which is more accurate to how it works in game

[tulip berry]

Boss blind, all cards are debuffed and base score and mult is set to 0

[frank grove]

I think it was just overlooked cause of the way sell value is evaluated atm right?

[alpine stone]

"fuck you" blind

[tardy spade]

too cruel without any knid of counter

[cloud sinew]

It also reduces voucher cost

[tardy spade]

probably, but that's not an excuse

[tardy spade]

vouchers are cards according to the game I believe

[cloud sinew]

Source?

[tardy spade]

my brain and intuition

[tulip berry]

The red guy

[cloud sinew]

okay so not according to the game

[patent sail]

canio when i ask him to do something

[terse gyro]

i swear, jokerless feels so unfair in the early rounds

[tardy spade]

the code treats vouchers as a type of card

[frank grove]

Does buying a voucher increment cards purchased?

[cloud sinew]

how

[tulip berry]

Boss blind, takes away (# of hands played this blind x 10) % of your money every hand played

[frank grove]

it does make the cards purchased go up i guess?

[turbid nova]

o

[tardy spade]

the code has a class Card with the attribute ability.set which can be joker, booster, planet, tarot, spectral or voucher. It can also be enhanced, default or edition

[turbid nova]

OH

[tardy spade]

so as far as the code is concerned, both booster packs and vouchers are cards

[turbid nova]

Canio PLEEEEASE

[cloud sinew]

so your argument should now be that it should only say cards and not booster packs

[turbid nova]

huh

so NOW

[cloud sinew]

but thats just silly

[turbid nova]

you decided to show up

[patent sail]

there are cards everywhere for those with eyes to see...

[alpine stone]

I'm curious how rare it is for a jumbo spectral pack to be all souls

Also congrats

[turbid nova]

oh my god

even with the dice

the space man is doing nothing

I'm gonna lose

[cloud sinew]

~1 in 4 trillion

[frank grove]

did you not take popcorn?

[patent sail]

0.003^4*100% i think?

may be dumb

[cloud sinew]

Why 4

[alpine stone]

Crazy

[cloud sinew]

jumbos have 5 cards

[frank grove]

jumbo spectral pack

[cloud sinew]

Oh

Spectral

[turbid nova]

nuh

[patent sail]

okay i forgot they do

[frank grove]

no you're right the person asked about spectral not arcana/celest you're good

[alpine stone]

If I get that I wasted my luck

[turbid nova]

I should have sold scary face

[patent sail]

i wonder whats the seed with the most total souls in the entire run

[turbid nova]

Perkeo's 0% winrate continues

I won't see him again for another 4 months

[patent sail]

who ate all the scoring

im stuck with halfsies and foil conste since ante 2

[pale wolf]

so there might be one

[alpine stone]

Half jokers are goated I main pairs or high card

[patent sail]

i mean he absolutely is

but i need MORE

wheel poly hit

[alpine stone]

We need a bot that specifically exists to find insane seeds

[undone talon]

does anyone have a good balatro calculator mod?

ik its not the modding channel but #⚙・modding-general is usually not active

i used a mod called fantoms preview and its pretty buggy

[patent sail]

what the fuck are these lucky hits

two $20 one 20 mult on a pair

lucky cat eatimg so good

oh my god luckies are HITTING today

AND SO IS WHEEL

gambling run

[alpine stone]

I have second hand dopamine

[patent sail]

luckmaxxing today

[alpine stone]

Insane

[patent sail]

i cant stop winning....

AND BOSS IS ACORN

this is so free

[alpine stone]

Post this on seeds

[patent sail]

why

[alpine stone]

because

[patent sail]

its not that insane

just really lucky seed

[alpine stone]
