Looking up Jimbo in GIFs I was expecting Simpsons but it's much more cursed

[tiny mountain]

I don't have a Twitch account. Is that bad?

[fickle rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/jester-court-jester-mojyf-chase-evolution-gif-25833392

[main mirage]

you can watch twitch streams without an account

[tiny mountain]

Do I need an account to get a key?

[main mirage]

that's up to the streamers to decide

[tiny mountain]

Okay.

[past oasis]

wait a key?

[azure anchor]

Winner and runner ups will get steam keys of Balatro to give to viewers

[tender musk]

ive already set aside some money to buy balatro when it releases lmao

[tiny mountain]

All six contestants get 100 keys, but the winner will get an additional 100 keys for a total of 200 keys.

[tender musk]

700 free copies of balatro....

[azure anchor]

Math is not mathing

Its all 6?

I thought it said runner ups

[raven pier]

everyone who doesn't win are the runner ups
so 200+100+100+100+100+100=700

[mellow echo]

If you're not first, you're last

[past oasis]

did I read that right? we got 1 week left of the purgatory?

[azure anchor]

To me runner ups means 2nd and 3rd

But shit if everyone gets keys then thats good

[covert umbra]

Yooooo new channel

[vast karma]

if my understanding is correct, the event starts at <t:1705687200:f>

(and ends 24 hours later)

[tender musk]

who's gonna pull an all-nighter ✊

[mellow echo]

shouldn't be necessary

[main mirage]

that answer starts with the question "which streamers are even going to do that"

[mellow echo]

Frost maybe

[wicked hamlet]

this exists

[raven pier]

you should try beating the winning score within an hour after you first open the new demo

[mellow echo]

lmao

power of foresight tho

[raven pier]

Yeah, that makes it a lot more doable

[tall nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-jimbo-rupauls-drag-race-all-stars-yes-yep-gif-16368010033108273618

you ain't kiddin'

[raven pier]

searching Balatro is even worse

because none of them relate to Balatro

[vast karma]

you could intentionally avoid invitational spoilers (except for the winning score) before the demo release

although that's basically impossible

[tall nymph]

jonkler gets you the Jonkler from Batman, so at least that's working

[raven pier]

go offline for a week

I didnt catch the pack descriptions

[tender musk]

choose 1 of 4 jokers and 1 of 3 playing cards

+4 mult for suit jokers here

[raven pier]

Is that tag name wrong?
Ethereal Tag gave a spectral pack in the last demo

[lethal pendant]

names mightve shifted

[winged pasture]

No lmao that's a bug

[main mirage]

this is why we push live

[lethal pendant]

omg immediate guest art card

[main mirage]

oh, this will be interesting - does vagabond trigger before or after hand scores with business card 🤔

[raven pier]

By the way I love the leaderboard UI

[wintry topaz]

Imma be largely afk tonight 😭

[raven pier]

The trio!

[tender musk]

oh shit a rare from judgement

[main mirage]

judged and found worthy

[tender musk]

looks like we'll have that suite

[raven pier]

Did Business Card get buffed? Wasn’t paying attention to that

[main mirage]

popcorn is per round?

i suppose that makes sense since it would run out twice as fast as ice cream otherwise

[raven pier]

White whale xd

[potent sky]

thank you

[main mirage]

oh yeah, we're gonna get to see choose-2 Mega packs

[raven pier]

lol three kings in the standard pack

[main mirage]

lol

[floral bough]

lmao

we three kings

[raven pier]

Orbital Tag literally perfect with The Trio

[main mirage]

N E P T U N E

[raven pier]

WHAT

lmao

[fickle rapids]

CHOOSE 2?!?!?!

[main mirage]

ye megas do that now

[raven pier]

Choose 2 transition was pretty weird

Only one option

[floral bough]

4 neptunes lmao

[lapis remnant]

I'm not watching the stream rn so seeing all this is bewildering lol

[winged pasture]

4 neptunes is a statistical marvel

[main mirage]

malf just got 4 neptunes in a mega pack lmao

[median knoll]

https://www.multitwitch.tv/dangheesling/frostprime/michaelalfox/skoottie/willneff/itshafu

[main mirage]

thanks ringmaster

showman*

[median knoll]

watch them all

[floral bough]

ooh manacle

[tender musk]

the name got changed in the middle of a long discussion in a suggestion post lmao

so a lot of people missed it

[main mirage]

ah

why's malf going feral

[raven pier]

With 9 planets, 4 being the same out of 5 is 0.63% if I did the math right

[pseudo vapor]

Thanks for that- pinned

(note that only Malf is currently playing)

[main mirage]

to be honest, i think celestial packs being able to have dupes with showman is a very large downside

[fickle rapids]

unless you're playing that flavor hand in which case it's a very large upside

[tight jacinth]

just have telescope

[main mirage]

only time that would be helpful is in mega packs

it's the only one with pick 2

[raven pier]

Supernova is here

And Hit The Road

[floral bough]

yeah hit the road baby!

[tight jacinth]

How much of last weeks discussions made it to this version? I've been stuck in the lua mines

[raven pier]

So far, a lot

I’ve seen many leaked jokers already here, as well as some of the changes discussed

[main mirage]

whoa hit the road sold for $5

is that right??

[tight jacinth]

neat. I'll check out the leak doc

taking the day off to watch the tourney

[kind cove]

thats what I was saying, it's alright for jokers, sometimes, but unless you only open mega packs, it's more of a downside

[raven pier]

Hook got buffed

[boreal reef]

i thought it was supposed to start in about 35min?

[tight jacinth]

is it even alright for jokers? In the full game i wouldnt want to be -1 joker slot for a chance to pull a duplicate from a pool of 150

[lapis remnant]

a little treat

[tight jacinth]

i like the new packs alot

[graceful falcon]

We're allowing for some pre-gaming and warmups for...logistical reasons

[boreal reef]

that makes sense

[raven pier]

E T H E R E A L T A G

[tight jacinth]

i just noticed the tags were revamped

tags no longer a meme?

[floral bough]

only MALF on lb

hmm

[lapis remnant]

malf the goat confirmed

[graceful falcon]

It's a 24 hour tournament, so it's still up for grabs 😄

[tight jacinth]

lucky card buff too huh

[tender musk]

he's already found 2 rares this run lmao

[tight jacinth]

im feeling lucky

[winged pasture]

nah he's wrong

[tight jacinth]

[graceful falcon]

Hand is not table

[tight jacinth]

i havent been here for a week im vulnerable to misinformation 😂

[fickle rapids]

has 100 hours
is a little confused by the nomenclature

malf i love you

[tender musk]

voucher is a good +handsize spot

[main mirage]

ah yes. the "played hand" vs "held in hand" confusion rears its ugly head...

[lethal pendant]

oh shit swash made it in

[tender musk]

runner sneak peek lol

[fickle rapids]

he swash. he buckle.

[tight jacinth]

any guesses on what runner does?

[main mirage]

hiker, then runner, what's next?

[raven pier]

Mad Joker

[winged pasture]

how do they know???

[tight jacinth]

impressive intuition

he knows of the 🐟

man i love the new tags

[raven pier]

Vagabonds got screwed

[winged pasture]

Tags are fun now - I hope the're worth taking more often

[raven pier]

Fortunately Xmult is OP

[tight jacinth]

they look extra sad dont they

[boreal reef]

throwback and vagabond are kinda anti synergy

one gives tarots for playing hands and the other doesnt want you to play blinds

[tight jacinth]

he's gonna win with this anti-synergy just to flex

[raven pier]

The question comes down to is X0.25 mult worth a few tarots?

[fickle rapids]

the vagabond art is so good

[boreal reef]

and a shop

[fickle rapids]

like the vagabond just is the hobo

[tight jacinth]

i wanna make lunch but with runs playing i cant leave

[floral bough]

oh cool medium

[winged pasture]

Malf got thunked

[main mirage]

i got thunked 😔

[tight jacinth]

the explanation is nice there

[wintry topaz]

Familiar buff

[boreal reef]

familiar buff

[tight jacinth]

explaining how a card can have one of each

[boreal reef]

damm you beat me to it

[tight jacinth]

i missed it what is the buff?

oh i see now

[boreal reef]

it gives 3 enhanced face cards instead of just 3 face cards

after destroying 1 of your cards of course

[tight jacinth]

good change

[mystic oyster]

Question, what is the link for the leaderboard?

[raven pier]

It will be streamed on the game’s Steam page

[mystic oyster]

Ok

[tight jacinth]

i love being able to add cards to deck throuh standard packs. Especially with enhancements. Anything that prevents the only strategy being "thin to win"

[raven pier]

Hack

[mystic oyster]

Is it up currently? Or are they gonna do it when it actually starts?

[fickle rapids]

hack art still makes me laugh every time

[raven pier]

I think when it starts

[mystic oyster]

Ok

[winged pasture]

I was torn between calling him 'Hack' and 'Schlub'

[raven pier]

We have Gros Michel

[boreal reef]

i still dont really know if the new gros michel can be considered buffed or nerfed

[raven pier]

First hand drawn face down

Great effect

[boreal reef]

since its stronger, but also has higher chance to be gone

[terse flume]

Right now it's pre-game. Thunk will reset the score at 10am PT

[winged pasture]

This effect seems so stupid at first glance but it's actually pretty strategic

[raven pier]

Purple Seal revealed

[mystic oyster]

Wait, so the leaderboard is up right now? I can’t seem to find it.

[boreal reef]

did he notice though?

[raven pier]

chat did at least

he did too

[winged pasture]

Didn't change Hermit yet

[terse flume]

We are gonna push the leaderboard up on Steam page at 10am

[mystic oyster]

Ohhh ok

[rose knoll]

what planets are the new hands

[tight jacinth]

hermit change?

One idea was for it to set money to $20

Instead of double money up to $20

Emperor Fool chain

honestly skoottie's strat of looking at all the possible jokers is probably pretty smart

[lapis remnant]

[raven pier]

We have Baseball Card, Bull, Joke, All 6s, The Xmult Trio/Straight/Flush

Flower Pot, Invisible, Brainstorm

And that’s it?

Will Skoottie look at the tags?

[tight jacinth]

he's gonna be watching pack openings until 30 min left in tourney

[raven pier]

Gold Seal gives $3 when played btw

[tight jacinth]

and will win in one run

[mellow echo]

Called shot on Gold seal: Gives money when Played

🙄

[raven pier]

expected tbh

Does anyone have the link to the tag brainstorm thread? I wonder what got implemented

[tall nymph]

Oooh what's final blind

[muted hearth]

This is so hype

[tight jacinth]

we think frost will keep the obelisk from collapsing this run?

Econ Tag doubles money up to $40

[muted hearth]

Btw can someone clarify, I don't speak English, is the goal for the biggest single hand? Or the biggest score for a blind I assume the first

[raven pier]

Eris has +3/35 scaling

[main mirage]

single biggest hand, yes

[raven pier]

Trance gives Blue Seal, Deja Vu gives Red Seal
Hex is like Ankh but with Polychrome

[tall nymph]

Oh wasn't Cerulean Bell @wintry topaz's white whale for a bit?

[boreal reef]

he didnt notice steel changed

[raven pier]

He’s not looking at tags, rip

[muted hearth]

Interesting
I only know six English words

[fickle rapids]

the must be selected impacting tarot use is a fun side effect

[tight jacinth]

I love Skoottie

[raven pier]

Cerulean Bell effect is nice

[fickle rapids]

but this is seven

[lapis remnant]

woah boss is 40k now

[main mirage]

that's it?

[tall nymph]

40k reference, localthunk tzeentch chaos priest confirmed

[tight jacinth]

skoottie found the shortcut

[main mirage]

why do standard packs have non-buffed cards in them

[raven pier]

Maybe you want them

[main mirage]

i don't think i would take those very often

[mellow echo]

because poop

[kind cove]

can you yeet a card with hanged man on cerulean bell? 🤔

[tight jacinth]

give me a small chance to rip a polychrome out of a standard pack

[raven pier]

Skoottie is the only one using Anaglyph to start

[kind cove]

or death

[tight jacinth]

like hitting the ultra rare card

[lapis remnant]

god this is great content

[raven pier]

The Mark is fun

Face cards face down

[tight jacinth]

Skoottie sent to the shadow realm

[tall nymph]

Cerulean Bell is a whole new type of hell, good job

[thorn flint]

he still has the two vagabonds? lmao

[winged pasture]

I'm so happy with cerulean bell

[tall nymph]

What a wild boss, it's great

I can't wait to hate it deeply and passionately

[raven pier]

It looks really fun based on MALF’s run

[rose knoll]

any boss that forces you of your path a bit seems great

[tender musk]

raagh my wifi is shitting itself ive missed so much

[tight jacinth]

frost is cooking

[tender musk]

cerulean bell looks awesome

[tight jacinth]

i dont think his obelisk collapsed either

[lapis remnant]

whoever invented multi twitch is amazing

[tight jacinth]

47K on 2800 blind 😂

[boreal reef]

Malf with a best hand of 75,482 completing his run

[tight jacinth]

someone should record milestones. Like first 6 digit/7 digit score etc

Frost gonna break 1 million

[main mirage]

how many Xmult jokers are there in this demo?

[mellow echo]

"Doubles all Probabilities"
"What does that mean?"
-Skootter

I thought we changed this to say "printed/written" probabilities?

[main mirage]

i feel like i'm seeing a ton

[lapis remnant]

six?

[fickle rapids]

@graceful falcon steam page still has the "PRE-RECORDED: WATCH THE PUBLISHER PLAY" on top of the scoreboard?

[lavish lance]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but the art for the new cards is all absolutely fantastic

[lapis remnant]

the three fancy ones, obelisk, Cavendish, flower pot

oh and holo

[graceful falcon]

@fickle rapids You Ping me? A thousand years in jail! (I'll look into it)

[fast oak]

Let me see if I can fix that!

[lapis remnant]

and photograph

so 8 I think

[main mirage]

throwback also

[lapis remnant]

ah

[tight jacinth]

this multiview is a godsend 🙏

[lapis remnant]

so there's a lot

[raven pier]

What I’ve realized so far about the set of cards:

• There’s much more Xmult that can be used to boost the score
• The only retriggering Joker is Hack

For the highest scores, getting Brainstorm and Hack along with cards that have as much glass/poly/red seal is what we need
So Deja Vu and Aura are important spectrals for the run

[tight jacinth]

we have a crash

[lapis remnant]

uh oh Dan broke

[dull kite]

😮

[tight jacinth]

Frost might have threw

[raven pier]

You would probably want to reset runs until the first ante gives you that in a skip tag, then setup Justice/Death. Vagabond will be helpful here

[lapis remnant]

oh and ramen

[raven pier]

Then just pray for as much of that and Xmult as you can. With less planet cards Five Flush is probably the best bet

[boreal reef]

i think the double skip deck would be the best in that case

[raven pier]

Its trying to send an internal server error too lol

[mellow echo]

Red Seal or bust
don't be distracted by all the xMult

[boreal reef]

magic deck might also be pretty good

[winged pasture]

I have the fix I did something

backend issue

[tight jacinth]

this is the way

[lapis remnant]

that's what you get for messing with the leaderboard

[raven pier]

Xmult is extra, but poly glass red seal is what matters

X5 vs X1000

[mellow echo]

Retriggers Steel cards, too
one Seal does it all

[raven pier]

If multiple runners get poly glass/steel red seal brainstorm hack five flush runs, then Xmult becomes important

[raven pier]

True, I forgot about steel

[fickle rapids]

dan has shortcut four fingers and the straight fush makes a spectral lol

[tight jacinth]

Dan has entered the kitchen

[fickle rapids]

man is about to whip up a dish

[rose knoll]

is dna in this version

[lapis remnant]

no

also idt dan has figured out straight flush means straight + flush

[median knoll]

dang no blueprint

[raven pier]

Brainstorm

[tight jacinth]

does royal flush not proc seance?

[main mirage]

it should

[tight jacinth]

Dan is wondering

[raven pier]

Skoottie has a straight flush build with both utility and Xmult cards

[fickle rapids]

this is the problem with noting royal flush as its own hand

[mellow echo]

Now we're cookin'

[fickle rapids]

when it's not

[tight jacinth]

i can see the confusion

[fickle rapids]

looks fixed!

[fast oak]

Just had to check we weren't accidently pushing other information live lol

[lapis remnant]

woahhh

[fickle rapids]

oops game is live and for purchase

[past oasis]

are the bosses fixed or random?

[lapis remnant]

baseball for dan

[tight jacinth]

Dan getting the full 4 finger/ shortcut experience 😂

[winged pasture]

Dan kinda poppin off fr

[lapis remnant]

dan mega cooking

baseball with three uncommons and ectoplasm

[boreal reef]

Dan is on a good run

[patent elm]

Come on Skoottie!

[terse flume]

Current Score

[lavish lance]

The stuff he's getting is so hype, I cannot wait to play this

[winged pasture]

Who had money on dan being the first one with negative Seance?

[tight jacinth]

who will be first to break 100k?

[lapis remnant]

frost

[boreal reef]

What happens on the manacle boss blind if you enter it with 1 hand size?

[tall nymph]

Negative seance 👀

[tight jacinth]

if frost can keep his obelisk afloat hes going places

[boreal reef]

swashbuckler after all those Xmults hurts

[lapis remnant]

that's the trick

[winged pasture]

So far this is going 100X better than I anticipated

[main mirage]

awesome

[tight jacinth]

i hope he catches this

[tender musk]

i think im gonna watch skoottie mainly

[earnest scarab]

where can i watch the games? is it over? has it started yet?

[tender musk]

pins!

[lapis remnant]

there's a pin

everyone's link is there

[earnest scarab]

i went to two streams, i couldnt see they were online. am i being dumb?

[main mirage]

nah they're not on yet

[winged pasture]

Hafu and Will aren't streaming right now

[main mirage]

they do have 24 hours to do this so it's all good

[earnest scarab]

ah they're the ones i checked xD

[main mirage]

lol rip

[fickle rapids]

dan having some kind of bug with his spectral?

[earnest scarab]

oooh so some are done and others arent? i thought it would be played at the same time.. 10pt (i dont know when this is)

[lapis remnant]

woah skoottie top

[fickle rapids]

will and hafu haven't started yet

[lapis remnant]

80k

[boreal reef]

how did dan just sell immolation

[deep lark]

so

whats going on in the streams

how many new leaks

[tender musk]

quite a few!

[main mirage]

all of the leaks

[deep lark]

all of them?

[tender musk]

i couldnt catch them because my wifi stopped working

[deep lark]

brazy

[past oasis]

lots

[tight jacinth]

Dan is learning about joker order 👀

[mellow echo]

Cerulean Bell is such a jerk LOL

well done

[subtle dagger]

lmao that's really funny

[earnest scarab]

ooh i said a bad word, so ill try again. thanks for the replies everyone. ♥

[primal kernel]

all of the new content looks so exciting

[winged pasture]

I'm open to swapping out some Jokers for the 25th if you guys think some should be swapped

[fickle rapids]

no i want to cosplay as my streamer

[mellow echo]

Is Sock and Buskin in to go with Pareidolia
and to complement Hack?

[fossil viper]

I think a mild shake up is fine.

[main mirage]

admiral sir! what are you thinking will be your income generating strategy now that 8-ball isn't available?

[mellow echo]

Skoottie geeking out about the Joker preview art

[subtle dagger]

oooo

[mellow echo]

yeeeeeee

[tight jacinth]

Dan thought for a second Temperance would sell all his jokers 😂

[main mirage]

yes because that's a thing you'd want a card to do

[winged pasture]

lmao

[mellow echo]

It's just Seance or bust

[primal kernel]

he just like me fr

[subtle dagger]

:leek:

[main mirage]

neat

[mellow echo]

🫡

[tender musk]

there's a lot less +mult in this version

[subtle dagger]

more +chips tho

[main mirage]

i'd want to explore vagabond strats but it is undoubtedly limited

[mellow echo]

Yeah, because the +Mult for Hand Types are swapped out for the xMult ones
one of our predictions

[main mirage]

also chips

[subtle dagger]

Seance? More like Séance

[tight jacinth]

foil seance looking pretty

[tender musk]

we correnctly predicted BP -> BS too

[main mirage]

more like Šěăňčĕ

[tight jacinth]

I havent seen any polychomes yet

[mellow echo]

Skootter Flush Five 👀

[tender musk]

pareidolia + reserved parking will be fun

[mellow echo]

He did a "ohhhhh ho ho ho"

[tight jacinth]

Thats how you know he's cooking

[kind cove]

👀

[winged pasture]

I am shocked at how close this is

Not that anyone is bad or good, but I would have expected a wider gamut for the scores by now

[mellow echo]

Skootter is exploring the sample space

[kind cove]

correction: they got swapped with +chips 🙄

[tender musk]

no one's gotten red seal glass yet lol

[boreal reef]

when someone gets a glass card with red seal and uses a couple death cards it will probably get alot more spread out scores

[kind cove]

the xmult ones are pretty nice, did we see the 2 pair version yet? or is in not in this demo 🤔

[fickle rapids]

the vagabond push/pull is really interesting

creates fun choices

[alpine prawn]

so Liz explained what happens to the winner... but was oddly quiet about what happens to the losers

[mellow echo]

Those are "if Played equals" whereas the xMult ones are the "if Played contains"

[alpine prawn]

do they get purged?

[raven pier]

Everyone is still in discovery mode right now

So just learning how things work before trying to go all-in on a high score synergy

[kind cove]

Oh really? I did not notice that 🤔 feels like a weaker version ngl

[winged pasture]

Drspectred why you helping skoottie lmao

[mellow echo]

🕵️‍♀️

[tight jacinth]

Skoottie never hits with Wheel 😂

[mellow echo]

you didn't see anything

[kind cove]

mods, ban him!

[winged pasture]

ship him

[mellow echo]

nooooooooooooooo

The streamers that didn't win will still get 100keys each for their community✨

[thorn trench]

the new demo comes out on 25th january?¿

[tender musk]

i dont think thats true, just saw the 3oak chips proc on a 5oak

[pseudo vapor]

Yep!

[thorn trench]

yooooooooooo

[tender musk]

also photograph works with retriggers 👀

[hushed owl]

Please invite me to play too (brazilian regards)

[tight jacinth]

Skoottie got walled

[boreal reef]

fotograph only works on face cards, which means hack doesnt retrigger, unless you are using the joker that makes all cards count as face cards

[mellow echo]

nah, just unlucky on drawing Kings
would've died to any boss

[tight jacinth]

yeah true

[fossil viper]

Frost is playing far too safe

[hushed owl]

How i play too?

Unless they want to give out the keys, we'll have to hold until the 25th for the demo.

lmfao skoottie hit the money but not the mult on the lucky card

[tight jacinth]

lol i saw

[graceful falcon]

Public demo goes live on the 25th (next week)

[kind cove]

7k would kill any boss other than the wall there

also why did he move

the red seal

before the +20 mult lucky

[tight jacinth]

Wall actually relevant there!

[mellow echo]

lol

[rose knoll]

anyone else see the vision with the obelisk

that one is pretty unexpected

[tender musk]

yooo i was about to say

[fossil viper]

Hey Local, Frosty thinks he has you figured out.

[kind cove]

oh, I did not see that the polaroid one only works for the first face

oh well

[winged pasture]

?

[fossil viper]

He got through the Fish and he thinks he has it solved..

[kind cove]

Also just noticed, steel triggers before jokers now? that's neat

[mellow echo]

Always did

[tender musk]

oooh Hex reveal

[mellow echo]

"excuse me?!?!"

[tender musk]

poly on a random joker, destroy all others

[main mirage]

swapping in a ton of Xmults is a great play for a high score competition

[tight jacinth]

Skoottie is in trouble

[kind cove]

rly? I guess I didnt use it enough to remember 😭 \

[raven pier]

Mouth killed that run

[mellow echo]

didn't do anything before, easy to miss 😂

[tender musk]

frost has a good looking run

[tight jacinth]

whats he got going on?

[mellow echo]

Poly Shortcut

[tender musk]

Baseball + Brainstorm

[boreal reef]

banner buff is also nice

40 chips instead of 20

[tight jacinth]

poly shortcut

[tall nymph]

Poly shortcut 👀

[raven pier]

Possibly duplicated too?

With that Ankh

[boreal reef]

which stream?

[raven pier]

Skoottie

[tight jacinth]

Skoottie

[tender musk]

3 uncommons, the ramen+banner synergy

[winged pasture]

[mellow echo]

It's so beautiful 😭

[tender musk]

hoohoo!

skoottie lookin nice now too

[tall nymph]

Twins now!

[mellow echo]

[raven pier]

Frost prime takes the lead

[tender musk]

134k on frost

[boreal reef]

Frost taking the lead with 134.090 score

[tall nymph]

[tight jacinth]

first 6 digit score today?

[raven pier]

Does double shortcut let you do two skips in sequence (like A-4-7-10-K)

[subtle dagger]

imagine double skips haha

i think the effect doesn't stack tho

[tight jacinth]

Next milestone 250K

[boreal reef]

still really cool

[tender musk]

i dont think so unfortunately

might be worth replacing one at some point

[mellow echo]

Yeah, it's like Four Feeners

[tall nymph]

Swashbuckler showing it's limits

[raven pier]

Copied joker has $1 sell value?

[tall nymph]

Neat!

[manic zinc]

Were willneff and Hafu unable to play in the tourney today?

[tender musk]

frost took poly skip with no money lmao

[boreal reef]

i think they will start a bit later compared to the rest

[main mirage]

dan's gotta get outta that 30k

[mellow echo]

Hafu will start later in the day
it's a 24 hour event

[manic zinc]

Ah ok

[subtle dagger]

it only started like an hour and a half ago

[terse flume]

They can choose when to play within 24hr tournament time so it's depend on when they'd like to play

[raven pier]

Dan went offline

[tight jacinth]

as long as there is one stream going ill be happy

[patent elm]

Is there an easy way to see what jokers are available in this demo?

[azure anchor]

Does anyone else really want that tournament mode?

with the leaderboard?

[raven pier]

Check Skoottie’s VOD - he goes through the collection

[azure anchor]

I'd love to do that vs random players or against friends

[patent elm]

Ok ta

[past oasis]

I knew I saw someone doing it but I couldn't remember

[tight jacinth]

does an invisible joker with an edition maintain that edition when it transforms?

[subtle dagger]

hm... negative invis joker

either it doesn't work or the dupe is negative

[tight jacinth]

oops i read invisible joker wrong

[subtle dagger]

or you go to 6/5

[main mirage]

i really hope the dupe inherits its edition

[tender musk]

poly banana!

[tender musk]

"duplicate joker" effects copy editions yeah

[main mirage]

oh right

i meant from invisible since they'd be at max jokers but that makes more sense

[mellow echo]

copies current count for all "stacking" effects, too

[main mirage]

i know, just brainfarted

[tender musk]

poly gros michel was not purchased 😔

[subtle dagger]

pareidolia hurts more than it helps here, right? You'd want the 2x from photograph to go after all the +4 diamond triggers, ideally

[mellow echo]

ye

[subtle dagger]

welp

[raven pier]

I wonder what other final bosses are here? Have only seen Bell so far

[subtle dagger]

might be locked to bell

[tender musk]

nvm lmao

[tight jacinth]

did i see that right? Standard pack cards can have editions too?

[lusty sluice]

its literally FFA for standard packs?

[tender musk]

yes!

[lusty sluice]

I can get poly glass Ace technically...

[subtle dagger]

editions and enhancements, yeah

[tight jacinth]

this pack has been by far my favorite addition to the game

[subtle dagger]

even stone cards are in it

[tender musk]

and seals!

[subtle dagger]

right right, seen those as well

[tight jacinth]

We better see a million

[tender musk]

million is totally in reach

[mellow echo]

Malf's next run a billion for sure

[tender musk]

no one's even got red seal glass yet

[raven pier]

I think hundreds of millions is reasonable with retrigger builds and glass

[kind cove]

did we even see hack? are there any retrigger jokers

[tender musk]

hack is in

[raven pier]

just hack

[kind cove]

yo that's cool

[tender musk]

shame there's no sock&buskin

you can manipulate red seal with Deja Vu

it's a testament to the design principles here that every streamer basically does one run to refamiliarize and then they just go in

so what do we remove for sock&buskin?

you absolute

Well actually I am open to replacing some Jokers if there is a good argument for doing so

[main mirage]

what was the argument for keeping banner?

[winged pasture]

The jokers here are very much risk/reward for the contest

[main mirage]

i see

[raven pier]

I think if you want sock&buskin you could remove jokers that were in the last demo, like supernova, banner, or fibonacci

[subtle stone]

add Idol to the Invitational 🙂

[winged pasture]

In general I want to keep it similar

lmao

[covert umbra]

lol

what seals in this demo?

[mellow echo]

Supernova is zzz

Business Card was also in the previous build, so...

[raven pier]

gold, red, blue, purple
Gold: Gives $3 when played
Red: Retriggers
Blue: Goes back in hand
Purple: tarot when discarded

[main mirage]

business card has pareidolia synergy tho

[mellow echo]

Scary Face has synergy, too, though

[tender musk]

I thought it was weird it was missing

[winged pasture]

Some of these are pretty 'default' or broadly appealing to new players, like nova

[main mirage]

business card >>>> scary face

[tender musk]

Hack -> sock&buskin could be good

[covert umbra]

OOOO red seals

[winged pasture]

I didn't want to add all the face card ones

Because it just becomes Balatro: face edition

[tender musk]

Business card -> sock&buskin then

Cause reserved parking is the face money joker

[boreal reef]

the boss already does kinda counter face cards

[main mirage]

good point

[boreal reef]

so a bit more face synergy isnt that bad

[subtle stone]

ah right

[boreal reef]

i am also just fine with current set of jokers
