#RTGAME - How much can we min max this (WE HIT NANEINF)

1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)

low thunder
#

Dan is playing this seed on stream and from what I have seen it’s REALLY FUCKING GOOD. I want to genuinely know how far this seed can go.
Abandoned Deck
Black Stakes
Experimental

#

He is playing on the no face deck, black stake

#

That is what we are checking for

random trail
#

this on experimental?

low thunder
#

Yes

#

There is a legendary on ante 8 I think but Dan skipped it since it would of likely been shit

#

We should probably check what it is

random trail
#

what is the seed?

#

look man i dont have the experimental build but cheking the legendary would probably help

drowsy osprey
#

seed is literally just "RTGAME"

random trail
#

if its tiboulet it could drasticaly increase score

drowsy osprey
#

changing deck to plasma can easily make the output score significantly larger and from when i played it, there was a significant lack of blueprints/brainstorms

#

so i doubt this can go infinite with steel retriggers

low thunder
#

I jokingly suggested when Dan started “hey Dan you should put RTGAME as the seed”

#

And apparently

#

It’s really fucking good

#

We know there is a legendary soul on ante 8

#

Dan skipped it

#

But we know there is a legendary soul on ante 8 that MIGHT be good with this seed

random trail
#

honestly i dont feel getting experimental patch right now but chekking legendary would probably help

low thunder
#

Can someone check what the legendary is please?

drowsy osprey
#

on second negative tag, it hits trading card so it might enable some absurd things from the legendary joker

low thunder
#

I don’t have all the jokers so I can’t run it myself yet

drowsy osprey
#

i skipped the legendary on my run too but thats because too many eternals

#

i also remember finding DNA along the way there

low thunder
#

Jesus Christ I can’t believe this seed

#

I believe someone on the RTGame discord got to fucking ante 17 on this?

#

Let me check

#

Oh wait

#

That’s you

#

Lmao

#

I’m stupid

drowsy osprey
#

yes hello

#

this thing

#

oops, not ante 17, but still high

low thunder
#

Do you think it can be pushed further

drowsy osprey
#

absolutely

#

for one, i used abandoned deck on black stake and not plasma

#

second, i used red seal 4s which mightve been red seal kings/queens with triboulet instead

#

i dont think there were enough of steel card synergies to go that path (baron, mime, showman, brainstorm/blueprint)

low thunder
#

we just need someone to go check the legendary soul

#

@analog remnant

#

Are you in a run right now

analog remnant
#

no

#

I'm in a car

#

rn

low thunder
#

Cool

#

Ok let’s make a list of info we need

#

1 check what the legendary soul is on ante 8
2 look for any interesting combos

analog remnant
#

3 look for vouchers that allow for spectrals in some way

#

(consumable slot + omen globe / pack prices)

uneven gyro
#

so we're locked to abandoned right?

analog remnant
#

yes

low thunder
#

Abandoned is what RT is running

#

Abandoned Black Stake

drowsy osprey
#

havent actually tried it myself, does deck influence what you get from a seed?

uneven gyro
#

no

analog remnant
#

well

#

complicated

low thunder
#

We CAN play it in vanilla deck and see if it would be better there

analog remnant
#

let's play with what rt did

#

I think

low thunder
#

No face cards might be tough

#

If the legendary is face card related we might consider switching to a different deck

drowsy osprey
#

because of trading card though, we can just dig for face cards with standard packs

analog remnant
#

if it is we can spectral / strength card

drowsy osprey
#

cuz theres a trading card somewhere along the way

#

somene needs to rush the legendary yoker first tho

low thunder
#

We just need someone to check up on what the joker is

analog remnant
#

if its a scaling joker

#

it might be better to fish for ante shop pools

low thunder
#

So

uneven gyro
#

didnt watch vod but ante 5 idol appears

#

and a hack

#

if i could go back i wouldnt have any eternals lol

drowsy osprey
#

main deck strategy will probably be idol + hack + bloodstone + OA6 (because all of those appear eventually)

low thunder
#

Holy shit Dan is about to get to ante 14

drowsy osprey
#

or idol spam with brainstorm/blueprint if anyone can manage to find either one or showman

low thunder
#

He ended it on ante 13

#

@elder imp @raw pike

#

Since you two are from the RTGame discord I assume you would be interested in this

elder imp
#

ah yes, reason i joined the balatro server actually 😅

low thunder
#

Fun fact! I am the person who even suggested Dan does this seed

#

I’m the reason the entire thing happened blueprint

elder imp
#

yeah i saw!! incredible

#

what a cool seed

low thunder
#

I didn’t know it was this good I just thought “hey Dan it might be cool to check out a seed like RTGame”

elder imp
#

HEHEH

#

well it turned out great!! i would offer to help map the seed but unfortunately i don't have balatro myself yet 🥲

raw pike
#

same as pandragora

#

just here to keep a "bookmark"

#

as I will kill my productivity if i get the game and i can't have that for now

elder imp
#

yeah same here, i'm waiting until i graduate

low thunder
cursive bane
low thunder
#

Watch the vod and just put it on x2 speed

#

Get us the results

#

🫡

drowsy osprey
#

may want to move it over to rt's server for that reason

low thunder
#

As long as we are active

#

It won’t happen

drowsy osprey
#

welp time to delve into the seed again with plasma deck this time

uneven gyro
#

so what was his record?

drowsy osprey
#

first run attempt I got this info:

  • Ante 4 Negative Skip -> Negative Trading Card + Hack
  • Ante 5 first shop reroll twice(?) -> Idol
  • Ante 5 second shop standard pack -> retrigger lucky 4
  • Ante 7 Director's cut
  • Ante 7 second shop reroll once -> OA6
#

nothing of note from wraith in spectrals

uneven gyro
#

i dunno if you can get past ante 16

#

LOL

#

okay nvm

#

i dont think re-running would get me any further so this is my second and also probably best possible attempt

#

maybe i missed something though

cursive bane
#

dude the luckys in this seed are nuts

#

legendary is a yorick

uneven gyro
#

there's another one btw (legendary) in like ante 11 or 13 ish

#

but no legendary at ante 9 is going to matter, at least i dont think so

#

unlessssss it was perkeo and we had satelite, but neither are true

cursive bane
#

there is a wee in ante 9's queue

#

bit late for it though tbh

drowsy osprey
#

second run attempt (additional info):

  • Ante 5 second shop tarot pack judgement: Showman
  • Ante 8 (with Ankh): DNA
  • Ante 9 (with Ankh) first shop spectral pack with soul: Yorick (oof)
#

which seems to be confirmed with other ppl

cursive bane
#

hmm

#

im thinking

#

there's a negative tag in ante 2 right?

#

if you have overstock you get an oops

#

i wonder if there's any way for it to land on the oops

uneven gyro
#

you mean the second negative?

#

the first one lands on the x2 its pretty important imo

cursive bane
#

you reckon?

uneven gyro
#

well, maybe you survive without it, i know i was close to losing quite afew times

cursive bane
#

poly invis tf

uneven gyro
#

then you get seltzer and you're good.

cursive bane
#

does the invis hit anything good

uneven gyro
#

i never saw inmvis joker

#

was that ante 17?

cursive bane
#

ante 10

uneven gyro
#

wow, nice you found something i didn't then, no idea what it hits

cursive bane
#

Prayge bloodstone

#

in my build it hits chad first pair second

drowsy osprey
#

i havent seen that at all yet

uneven gyro
#

if it does hit bloodstone or idol, you could probably go up to ante 19 or maybe 20

cursive bane
#

idk it was the first run i did on the seed

#

where i didnt skip anything

#

idk maybe i fucked something up LOL

#

but you get oa6s very early

#

invis didnt hit shit for me

drowsy osprey
#

with overstock

#

idk if theres a way to avoid that, might be worthwhile to just not take the negative tag in the first place

cursive bane
#

hmm

#

has anybody tried with ghost?

analog remnant
#

I can push

#

can we make a gc?

#

might be easier to rig if we can communicate easily

drowsy osprey
#

Notes on 3rd test run:

  • Ante 3 shop 3 (after big blind) has red seal 2 of clubs
  • Ante 5 Negative tag: Rerolled 7 times and found brainstorm 2nd slot -> hypothetical negative brainstorm if you reroll 14 times without overstock?
#

#

@low thunder

#

now, i need to check if i can get negative on brainstorm while getting overstock

drowsy osprey

yk

#

this seems very broken down already x3

drowsy osprey
#

not quite yet

#

still workin on it

analog remnant
#

i can help in vc after a bit

#

still trying to max my tourney seed rn

drowsy osprey
#

progress so far

analog remnant
#

idol is

#

odd

#

why are you brainstorming dna at the end of the round?

#

did you switch it?

drowsy osprey
#

i forgor 💀

analog remnant
#

LOL

#

bs hack plz

drowsy osprey
#

all the cards are red sealed lucky, brainstorm is better on idol for now i think

analog remnant
#

lucky is

#

meh tbh

drowsy osprey
#

since its 3 * 3 = 9 versus 2 * 4 = 8

#

currently turning them all into glasses, which hack would be better

analog remnant
#

ah

#

true

#

vc?

drowsy osprey
#

no thanks

analog remnant
#

you dont have to talk

#

i just want to help

drowsy osprey
#

where would we even vc

analog remnant
#

dms

#

or a group chat

drowsy osprey
#

i presume you are in the rtgame discord?

analog remnant
#

im not

#

but i can join

drowsy osprey
#

well ill be chilling in there

analog remnant
#

beat you there

drowsy osprey
#

here's the optimized run i did, tried to push it as far as it could

#

here's the details about jokers/deck:

#

its ogre

#

if anyone wants to try and push this further, avoid using wheel of fortunes so you can have the opportunity to use Ectoplasm on your jokers

dusty gyro
#

interesting how a run can be that optimized

drowsy osprey
# dusty gyro interesting how a run can be that optimized

if i had some application to read into the seed (which probably does exist) i couldve tried getting more negative jokers. only reason i had a fuck ton of instructions was to reroll manip to land negative on brainstorm, which i tried and successfully calculated

#

BUT, apparently you can find Perkeo somewhere early if you are using Ghost Deck

#

at least, thats what somenoe else said

#

if you get an early perkeo, you can go actual infinite with steels

#

i dont know if the same negative brainstorm setup will work tho

left jacinth
#

Eyo gang

#

Actually insane levels of optimisation here

#

Very tempted to try this on a future stream just to showcase the absurdity of it

left jacinth
#

Negative Brainstorm is actually insane too

uneven gyro
#

If you're going to change the deck to get an even higher score, then yes defintely follow their line.

#

But the negative brainstorm is insane no matter what, huge find you want to follow to that point either way i think

#

though im not sure if it works out on non-plasma the same way since spade flush is very strong specifically on plasma

drowsy osprey
#

i used plasma deck since there didnt appear to be a Perkeo somewhere early (reason why people run ghost instead of plasma)

#

general game plan is to bank off of Arrowhead for massive chips, then pivot into totem + hack flush fives once you set up your deck properly (all cards are 2 of spades with retrigger)

#

while i did eventually change the spades into hearts for bloodstone, it would be better to just have only totems and no bloodstones since you dont need Oops! All 6s with only totems

#

so, keeping showman is the play

#

also, trading card + DNA somewhere in ante 8 with brainstorm can help fill your deck with glass 2s to make totem consistent

#

and one more thing: because totem only needs 5 cards to be scored, you only need a handsize of 4 (copy a card twice with DNA + brainstorm to get 5) to play a flush five

#

so, you should be able to get 2 negative jokers from ectoplasm (or three if you get more hand size from vouchers/jokers), so dont use wheel of fortune on the jokers

drowsy osprey
uneven gyro
#

im talking about survivability/income, the shops dont change yes

drowsy osprey
#

you dont need THAT much survivability, i mostly did the optimization because i originally was planning on rerolling 14 times without overstock

#

until i realized that i could still get it with overstock

left jacinth
#

This is several levels ahead of my knowledge but great info nonetheless, thank you very much ❤️

drowsy osprey
#

may also need to get 100% jokers, unsure how that interacts with shops

low thunder
#

I was the person who even suggested the idea of using the RTGame seed

#

holy fuck I wasn't expecting it to be so broken jesus

#

I was losing my mind live during the stream

#

it was crazy

low thunder
#

@drowsy osprey ok let’s try optimising it further

#

Since if rt wants to do this tomorrow let’s make it as crazy as possible

random trail
#

ok does someone have a dock off all antes and information?

#

and what is the legendary on ante 8?

low thunder
#

Check the analyzer

#

We have a run made already

random trail
#

do you guys take the mime?

random trail
#

kinda sad there is no way to get the mime and baron cus they are both on ante 1

#

do you have any way to get 11 rerlls on ante 3?

#

wait is the seed data might be wrong if the round descriptions are accurate

#

wait is it meant to say rerroll twice on ante 4 for idoll and not ante 5?

#

nvm

#

ye no seems pretty optimised there is a baron mime angle that exists here and it might be better, but its probbably not if u really want u can test it out

#

but this seems pretty optimimised already

drowsy osprey
#

i dont think you can find mime/baron early enough

#

plus, mime/baron arent great unless you have a mass quantity of blueprints/brainstorms and/or you have perkeo

#

totem works just as well if not better with mass blueprints/brainstorms and there isnt an early perkeo

drowsy osprey
# low thunder Check the analyzer

i dont exactly understand the analyzer but it seems that we may be able to pick up a blueprint in ante 3 or an invisible joker in ante 4

#

both may be too far away/too expensive tho

drowsy osprey
#

wait... this analyzer might be wrong

#

it says that you find Onyx Agate relatively soon in Ante 2 but you actually find Arrowhead instead

#

nevermind.

#

some jokers are correct, some arent? its a lil weird

#

anyway, there IS a blueprint that can be found in Ante 2 but its really far away

#

welp, time to draft yet another route

random trail
#

blueprint might make it better

#

but ye the analyzer did seem a little of

drowsy osprey
#

blueprint will certainly make it better, but is it possible to get both blueprint and negative brainstorm?

random trail
#

im not sure worth cheking

drowsy osprey
#

because thats a LOT of money in rerolls

random trail
#

if you get rebate and play it perfectly u might

#

just divide the rerolls evenly

drowsy osprey
#

gonna check the math soon

random trail
#

technicaly each round can give +15 in rebate value

drowsy osprey
#

according to analyzer, rebate doesn't show up

#

nvm it does

random trail
#

ante 2

#

ah ok u saw it

#

do u also know if there is a way to get red seals?

drowsy osprey
#

wait no

#

rebate actually doesnt show up when playing the seed

random trail
#

ah ye the analyzer do be funky

#

i think its cus the seed logic changed between versions

drowsy osprey
random trail
#

ah cus 5 red seals is another like 4X^5

#

might be 4X^10 if ur using hack

drowsy osprey
#

originally bought the pack in ante 3 but may adjust to ante 5 now

random trail
#

does pack logic change between antes

#

cus basic shop logic is locked too each ante

drowsy osprey
#

i think packs are locked to ante as well unless its standard pack

random trail
#

ah ok

#

well the way to improve it if it can be improved is to get the blueprint and to get red seal on all the glass cards

drowsy osprey
#

besides the blueprint

#

in the original run

random trail
#

ah i see

#

ye then blueprint get is the only feesible upgrade i can see

drowsy osprey
#

one other thing is that were using totem, so we only need 5 handsize

random trail
#

cus the legendary was not triboulet right

drowsy osprey
#

so we can use ectoplasm twice

drowsy osprey
random trail
#

uuf

#

the only thing about hand size is that you could argue steel value but negative increase is probably better

drowsy osprey
#

steel value is negligible if you dont have mime/barons

random trail
#

ye no i agree

drowsy osprey
#

again, wouldve used steel if perkeo was found

random trail
#

ye full steel hand rest after 2 ectos is only 9X mult

#

seems like u have it figured out so just tell me if u manage to get the blueprint route working

short marsh
#

i just got here but are you doing abandoned black stake or plasma white stake

dawn fern
#

I don't really get all the intricacies and am still early game, but massive power to all of you guys with this optimisation, this is amazing to watch

random trail
#

im not sure about deck but plasma is by far the best deck for going the farthest

#

as it balances the equation

#

sometimes people run ghost deck but thats mostly for perkeo runs

short marsh
#

ghost deck would barely do anything here tbh

random trail
#

ye probably not

drowsy osprey
#

so i think i can route in blueprint

random trail
#

yo

drowsy osprey
#

i just need to see if i can actually pull it off

random trail
#

also question what deck are u using

drowsy osprey
#

plasma deck, works best with totem

#

and is just the best unless you have perkeo

random trail
#

ye thats what i tought just wanted to be sure

short marsh
random trail
#

would be hype if the blueprint route is possible

#

then i also kinda helped in the optimiasation( not that much tho)

drowsy osprey
random trail
#

les go

drowsy osprey
#

it was cutting it VERY VERY close

random trail
#

les gooooooooo

drowsy osprey
#

but its possibile

random trail
#

huge

#

is the red seal still possible?

drowsy osprey
#

yeah, i think its in an ante 5 shop

random trail
#

yo then this is huge

drowsy osprey
#

now heres a question: is going for invisible joker worth it?

random trail
#

best case is another hack

#

then u copy with blue print idol and get 2 hacks

drowsy osprey
#

cuz what im thinking is get showman for multiple idols

random trail
#

i mean another brainstorm/idol is also huge

drowsy osprey
#

ik you can get two idols by ante 8 using showman, but i had to sell showman then

random trail
#

2 idols is huge

drowsy osprey
#

cuz eventually youll get two more slots from two ectos, which then youd want one more of something you already have

#

so i think keeping showman is right

random trail
#

ok so run it with me what is ur joker setup when there is an invis joker in the shop

drowsy osprey
#

will do

random trail
#

im assuming no ectos have been used

drowsy osprey
#

none as of yet (none have been found)

random trail
#

ok what are the jokers u have?

drowsy osprey
#

i havent been able to find invisible joker yet

#

also, im just gonna put the revised version and notify dan

random trail
#

also there is a dna on ante 8 is that worth?

drowsy osprey
#

NEW SEED ROUTE @left jacinth

#

Plasma Deck start v3:
Ante 1 Small Blind: Play 3-7 straight
Ante 1 Big Blind: Play heart flush.
Ante 1 Big Blind Shop: Buy Overstock, then Temperance
Ante 1 Boss Blind: Discard for diamond flush.

Ante 2 Small Blind: Discard for four of a kind 2s. Then, discard for two pair Q/Js.
Ante 2 Small Blind Shop: Buy Arrowhead
Ante 2 Big Blind: Discard for spade flush.
Ante 2 Big Blind Shop: Buy spectral pack -> Immolate
Ante 2 Boss Blind: Discard for spade flush.
Ante 2 Boss Blind Shop: Reroll three times

Ante 3 Small Blind: Discard for spade flush
Ante 3 Small Blind Shop: Reroll three times
Ante 3 Big Blind: Discard for spade flush, play full house found.
Ante 3 Big Blind Shop: Reroll twice then buy Blueprint.
Ante 3 Boss Blind: Discard for spade flush.
Ante 3 Boss Blind Shop: Buy Hermit, then reroll once for Trading Card and Hack. Use Temperance, then reroll 5 times.

Ante 4 Small Blind: Skip for Negative Tag
Ante 4 Big Blind: Use Trading Card then discard for spade flush.
Ante 4 Big Blind Shop: Reroll once for Negative Brainstorm. Buy Discard voucher

Other Notes:
Ante 5 Shop 1: Reroll twice for idol
Ante 5 Shop 2: Open tarot pack for Judgement -> Showman
Ante 6 Shop 1: Do NOT buy spectral pack (Wraith/Ankh)
Ante 6 (with Ankh) Shop 1: Reroll into OA6s and Totem (replacing showman with totem and not taking OA6s for now)
Ante 7: Do NOT reroll boss blind (rolls into the Goad, debuffs spades)

random trail
#

ok so acording too seed data there is a dna and misprint on ante 8

drowsy osprey
#

since i found DNA then

random trail
#

ah ok then u could get 2 misprints with showman on ante 8

drowsy osprey
#

i took DNA early to setup totem quicker, but you may be able to ignore it for now

#

at some point you need DNA to duplicate glasses so you dont run out

random trail
#

do you have overstock + or just regular overstock?

drowsy osprey
#

regular overstock

#

whats unfortunate for the new routeis that you skip on getting Hone + Discard vouchers 😦

random trail
#

also ante 7 has a negative walkie talkiebalatrojoker

#

so if u did 4 spam it might do something(not really)

#

oh this hurts

#

you could have gotten blueprint in ante 7

#

but its on the rare backup list

#

wich means that you have to find a rare u already have

#

but the shop has no rares

#

on its list

drowsy osprey
#

unlucky

random trail
#

also is the immolate on ante 7 worth?

drowsy osprey
#

more optimizations are underway

iron torrent
#

he's becoming too powerful huh

left jacinth
#

Actually insane science under way

random trail
#

ye no anon is crazy

left jacinth
#

I'm gonna stream the route tomorrow evening, will absolutely credit yourself

#

Insane science under way and very much appreciate the routing

#

Toughest thing I need to remember is thinning the deck appropriately

#

Did a mock run tonight and lost because the idol chose a jack haha

random trail
#

anon btw i found out there is aura on ante 2 it might be worth insepcting

#

if its poly

#

wait is on immolate pack prob not worth

drowsy osprey
#

it is

random trail
#

aura is worth or not worth?

#

welp the blueprint is the only optimiasiation i can find with the data i have

#

it stops at ante 8

#

i guess just hunt for poly cards but u probably already do that

drowsy osprey
#

fuck

#

i couldnt find a red seal card

#

uhhh

left jacinth
#

getting the dna is very very significant from playing

drowsy osprey
#

there is a Deja Vu in a spectral pack post ante 8

random trail
#

wait there is a dusk on ante 5

drowsy osprey
#

but i think i screwed up the rng cuz i didnt take Hieroglyph

random trail
#

acording to the data

drowsy osprey
#

tho now that i think about it, maybe you dont need hack that early?

random trail
#

i mean if u can get either hack or dusk later its pretty good

left jacinth
#

Red seal definitely needed somewhere yeah haha. Getting blueprint is genuinely insane in this though

random trail
#

ye it was very deep in rerrolls so its crazy that anon found the route

#

atleast deep for early antes

drowsy osprey
#

i had only 4$ left to spare after doing all rerolls for negative brainstorm

#

so yes, it was VERY close

random trail
#

what was the final setup u had btw

#

at the end end

drowsy osprey
#

for my original optimized run?

random trail
#

ye

drowsy osprey
#

you can probably find it in an image in this thread

#

im gonna go do colleg things then im hopping back onto this

random trail
#

getting blueprint instead of bloodstone is gonna be nice

#

might be pretty basic but this should be an explentation of the optimal setup with the current route

#

imma go sleep now

drowsy osprey
#

ONE LAST TIME, heres an improved route for this seed

#

(its gotten so long that i need to put it into a txt file)

#

its gotten so precise to the point where after rerolling 5times for negative brainstorm setup, you have EXACTLY ONE dollar left. you also have one dollar left (again) after getting Idol, Showman, and your retrigger 4.

#

@left jacinth i apologize if this ping wakes you up at 6 in the morning

#

the main change is that there is a lot more optimization of money, which lets you buy both Hanged Man and the Discard voucher in addition to all the rerolls

#

Fucking amazing work Jolteon

#

Holy shit

drowsy osprey
#

i will not be sending the final score that i get (cuz thatd be boring) but this is proof of concept of what this seed can do

left jacinth
#

Thank you, very excited to try this. I'm guessing the reroll for the second idol early is no longer advised too?

drowsy osprey
#

nope. youll still probably find it but dont pick it up yet so you can keep trading card/arrowhead for longer.

Thank you!

good work guys rt got really far with this

#

A googl is possible if literally any dusk is acquired

random trail
#

ye probably its only 3 more triggers but it would probably work

low thunder
#

Holy

#

Fucking

#

Shit

#

Guys…

#

@drowsy osprey

#

Just had a realisation

#

There might be a way to get more ectoplasm…

#

Set up for 6’s and use spectral joker

#

There is a chance

#

For e100

drowsy osprey
#

Not even just e100.

low thunder
#

Way further

drowsy osprey
#

The key difference

low thunder
#

Is more jokers

drowsy osprey
#

Is that if we can keep DNA

low thunder
#

We have sustainablity

drowsy osprey
#

That means we are no longer restricted to the hand size limit of 5.

low thunder
#

WAIT DNA AND SPECTRAL COMBO

#

IN THIS CASD

drowsy osprey
#

Which means we can squeeze one or two more Ectoplasms out of our handsize.

low thunder
#

BOTH PROC AT THE SAME TIME

drowsy osprey
#

One very specific problem

#

I dont think Dusk shows up anywhere early

#

I swear it was up to ante 18 when it first showed up

#

that might be too late

low thunder
#

We can built with face cards

#

Right?

#

Make it so every card is considered a face card

#

Retrigger all face cards

drowsy osprey
#

That is one extra joker slot that we take up

#

However, it can be used as a crutch

#

Ik sock and buskin is found relatively soon, not sure about pareidoilia

random trail
#

he did not have space for it

drowsy osprey
random trail
#

ah for sock value?

low thunder
#

Sock and buskin in ante 2

random trail
#

can you still get blueprint with the sock?

drowsy osprey
#

Not before ante2, that screws up the money optimization

random trail
#

ah ok

drowsy osprey
#

Might be able to afford blueprint if you dont buy a discard voucher

low thunder
#

It’s in ante 2

drowsy osprey
#

But that means the voucher pool gets messed up too

low thunder
#

Good

#

What the FUCK was that voucher pool

drowsy osprey
#

True, the vouchers were very ass this run

low thunder
#

ANTIMATTER AT 25???

random trail
#

i mean if u can get animater faster that would be huge

#

but im not sure thats possible

#

the only way to get antimater earlier would be to buy more vouchers earlier

low thunder
#

Jolteon

drowsy osprey
#

i have no idea how voucher queues work, especially if you throw in voucher skip tags too

low thunder
#

Is your twitter anon jolteon

drowsy osprey
#

No.

low thunder
#

Like work to word?

#

What’s your twitter

#

So I can @ you

drowsy osprey
#

it is actually YellowCat (@YellowC53261900) since i used to go by that alias earlier

random trail
#

if i member right vouchers are coded to antes, and if you have a voucher thats supposed to show up on the ante it rolls a backup

#

only way to get vouchers to show up earlier is to buy more vouchers

analog remnant
#

oh I havent been in here in a while

#

actually nuts rtgame showed up in here lol

#

@low thunder I also vced with anon to assist with build ideas on 4/12

#

is there any appearance of diet cola?

#

also, have we checked every negative tag under the sun, including on shop rerolls

#

i could do the investigating

#

here's the first one, arrowhead double reroll negative tag

#

(im looking to see if something happens

drowsy osprey
#

first negative tag always lands on duo

#

doesnt matter since we want to play that blind anyway for immolate money

#

second negative tag can be maniped to land on brainstorm

#

third negative tag (somewhere in ante 10-11) always lands on misprint and if you have double tag, faceless joker(?)

#

basically something always irrelevant

#

since showman is staying the entire time, i dont think you can manip these

#

looking at RT's stream, there are no more negative tags until ante 26

analog remnant
#

damn wtf 😭

#

wait

#

would we get a better run on anaglyph

#

x3

drowsy osprey
#

i doubt it

analog remnant
#

my main thing is like

#

if we spam duplicate arcana packs

#

couldn't we in theory basically force a soul after a certain point lol

#

/ so much money

drowsy osprey
#

well theres a soul in ante 9 that gives yorick

analog remnant
#

hmmmm

drowsy osprey
#

do the tarot pack skips share the same card pool as the arcana packs in shop?

#

if they do, then theres no point cuz RT opened every arcana pack and did not find a single soul

#

plus someone else managed to get a soul but it wasnt perkeo

drowsy osprey
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

analog remnant
#

do you see what im seeing

drowsy osprey
#

yeah im seeing it

analog remnant
#

WAIT

#

spectral packs would go goofy

drowsy osprey
#

itd be very very annoying to route a path with anaglyph instead of plasma tho since the entire 2-10 antes are done by using only arrowhead + copy jokers

analog remnant
#

possibly better for score

#

also yes

drowsy osprey
#

i think ill try the 6th sense idea first

analog remnant
#

can we vc again for it

#

?

drowsy osprey
#

(using retrigger 6s + dusk instead of retrigger 4s + hack)

analog remnant
#

i wanna help some more

#

:3

drowsy osprey
#

if i happen to be doing it, but i have no plans on tackling this seed for a few days

analog remnant
#

understandable

drowsy osprey
#

i spent about 5 hours last night minmaxing it before the stream

analog remnant
#

which i missed 😭

drowsy osprey
#

it was mostly trying to squeeze every dollar out of each blind

#

the most stylish method used was buying temperance in ante 1, then buying egg in ante 4, then using both + hermit to get the money for ante 5

analog remnant
#

yeah i was reading that

#

im thinking about anaglyph rn just because i'd need to see what rounds would be worth skipping

drowsy osprey
#

i'll keep that in mind since shop rerolls will be the same when playing on plasma deck

#

wait no

#

nevermind, you can only test the tarot pack idea with anaglyph

analog remnant
#

why only the tarots?

#

wb negatives

#

ik the next negative isnt until 26

#

but if a run can get there

#

:3

drowsy osprey
#

i thought the idea was to use double tags on a mega arcana in hopes of getting perkeo to pivot into steel deck

analog remnant
#

oh that's also an option

drowsy osprey
#

cuz idol builds are always capped by how many jokers you can have

analog remnant
#

well my main thing was the negative could allow for blueprint, brainstorm, retriggers, and other shit

#

while spamming arcana packs is basically only
soul searching

drowsy osprey
#

well, i dont remember any really outstanding jokers in the reroll pool in ante 10-11

#

so if i manage to get a deck to ante 26 (which i think i can with 6th sense), i will spam rerolls and give you data for that

drowsy osprey
#

im still pretty proud of routing negative brainstorm without a seed analyzer

analog remnant
#

wait

drowsy osprey
#

i would not have routed in the blueprint if i didnt have the analyzer tho

analog remnant
#

aren't negatives a different pool than normal jokers

#

spamming rerolls wouldn't work if the negative jokers are always the same

#

/ different than shop pool

drowsy osprey
#

i think the negative TAGS use the shop pool because the jokers are converted into a negative card rather than generating a full negative card

#

for example, RT found a negative scary face which i found too

analog remnant
#

but then why is the first neg tag always the duo

#

no matter what reroll

drowsy osprey
#

this is under the assumption that shop pools are based on ante

#

because skipping the big blind forces you to open the shop after the boss, you start a new ante

#

which means that you cannot manipulate the shop with rerolls because it just started a new chain

analog remnant
#

ohhhhhhh

#

im dumb

drowsy osprey
#

the same thing happens with the negative tag in ante 10-11, always lands on misprint

analog remnant
#

wooo...

#

(the duo negative isnt even half bad 😭

drowsy osprey
#

main reason why duo negative is ignored is to get immolate for very important money + interest soooo

analog remnant
#

yeah i know 😭

drowsy osprey
#

not like duo negative makes a large impact in the grand scheme of things, its only one 2x when you are doing 25+ of them

analog remnant
#

average idol run

drowsy osprey
#

and perkeo steel technically

#

also, i assume you are more acclimated to balatro's lingo

#

what do people call the perkeo strategy archetype?

#

aka perkeo and spamming steels with baron/mime

analog remnant
#

idk

#

im only like

#

decent

#

(i don't pay attention to lingo)

drowsy osprey
#

oh ok, ill just keep referring to it as perkeo steel

analog remnant
#

oh i was thinking the perkeo/observatory shenanigans

drowsy osprey
#

theres also eternal perkeo ankh/ecto

#

that one seems so awful to find in a normal run

analog remnant
#

that deck pilled

#

ghosty

#

regardless i think plasma is good for a while, but if you want to push antes a little more you may need to look into switching decks for more time

#

anaglyph seems good but idk

drowsy osprey
#

plasma is effectively squaring your score in a totem build tho, i dont know if thats worth forsaking

#

maybe im just stubborn

analog remnant
analog remnant
#

anaglyph arcana pack

drowsy osprey
#

or reply to a previous message if you already explained it and i missed it

#

oh that

analog remnant
#

test every judgment and soul

drowsy osprey
#

that absolutely has potential

analog remnant
#

i have the attention span of a child rn though

#

so

#

i probably could not run that alone

drowsy osprey
#

:V

random trail
#

i just want to say if you get perkeo rolling you can easially get nanaif with the telescope upgrade

analog remnant
#

that's why i want to test anaglyph

random trail
#

but anaglyph is most likely not gonna get that far

#

i have a lot of anapglyph experience and the deck is preatty weak

#

ur not going to be able to get the early blueprint and you will most likely loose out on brainstorm

#

but it would be cool if you manage to find the hidden perkeo angle

#

if we assume you get a decent early setup before u get the telescope perkeo strat rolling

#

and we say blueprint is unrealistick

#

then your score should increase at base by 3.75 at each shop

#

when you get the third brainstorm

drowsy osprey
#

theres also the very slim chance that perkeo just happens to be in a singular tarot pack skip

#

but at that point, might as well test with anaglyph

random trail
#

if thats the case then it could blow the whole run open

#

if it is in an initial skip pack around ante 11-20 you can make do with 1 less hack

#

making it the same run but you do perkeo setup for late game

#

at that point you can probably hit the kill screen

analog remnant
#

ik anaglyph is weak

#

but

#

it's a good testing joker right

random trail
#

its a good testing deck

analog remnant
#

ahem

#

deck

#

😭

random trail
#

but i mean lets say perkeo is 9 packs deep on ante 11

#

how are u getting that while not dying

#

if it is first pack its easy

analog remnant
random trail
#

but if you could get perkeo from a skip in around ante 11-20

analog remnant
#

we may have to uproot our whole build

random trail
#

with plasma then u can give up a hack

#

and scale way farther for late game

#

then u have 4 perkeo procs wich is 5X more score each shop

analog remnant
#

true

drowsy osprey
#

earliest arcana pack skip i could find is ante 8, second blind

#

and the analyzer doesnt read anywhere beyond that

analog remnant
#

mmm

drowsy osprey
#

at least, the one Cadwah provided

analog remnant
#

we may have to test the packs ourselves

random trail
#

ye i know the analyzer is not deep enough for more optimasation

drowsy osprey
#

i found the github that has the code for the analyzer but i dunno if its capable of looking into the tag packs themselves

random trail
#

u kinda have to test all packs but the probability is extremly low for more power

drowsy osprey
#

assuming the seeding method remains the same, the only things shifted around by the beta patch are the jokers since some got rarity changes

#

so the fact that the analyzer is not up to date is irrelevant for arcana packs

random trail
#

ye no the analyzer seemed acurate for packs but it did not include the contents of tag skips

#

imma be real im not sure there is much more to optimise

analog remnant
#

the only thing i could think of was glyph

random trail
#

there migth have been a hiden secret ectoplasm

#

in one of the skips

analog remnant
#

would ghost deck be worth testing either...??

random trail
#

wich would give dusk but i dont know about much more

drowsy osprey
analog remnant
#

GUH

drowsy osprey
#

buuuuuuuuut i tried it and i couldnt find anything

#

and when i asked them, they did nto respond

analog remnant
#

hmmm

random trail
#

mans might have lied for clout

analog remnant
#

we could uproot

#

or that

drowsy osprey
#

nevermind they did respond, but they say "I dont know"

random trail
#

i dont know how ghost deck helps getting perkeo

#

if there is some tech i dont know that might be a me issue

drowsy osprey
#

my guess is that spectral shop is modified by including spectral packs into the shop pool, which do not affect tarot packs

#

so changing to ghost will (probably?) not affect the ability to get perkeo

random trail
#

ye i know some run ghost for runs cus of early immolates

#

an ankhs

drowsy osprey
#

isnt the main reason to run ghost is easy spectral in consumable slot?

random trail
#

but i dont think it helps here

drowsy osprey
#

and easy ankh

#

and easy earlygame money with immolate and temperance/hermit

random trail
#

ye those are most of the reasons

analog remnant
random trail
#

ghost deck for endless is mostly the perkeo deck

#

while plasma is the everything else deck

#

problem is that arrowhead carried until ante 10 on plasma

#

but it will do nothing on any other deck

analog remnant
#

im willing to dig

#

but itll take so much effort 😭

random trail
#

so to run em you need an entire new strat

drowsy osprey
#

i am certain you find ride the bus in ante 1 or 2

#

that could help

analog remnant
#

abandoned deck (no)

random trail
#

i say the best shot of optimising is cheking all uncheked packs up too ante 20

#

that includes the extra pack when hieroglyphing

analog remnant
#

no petroglyph?

random trail
#

as im pretty sure there were alteast 1 skipped pack there

#

i think rt cheked all petro packs

#

but i mean chekking all packs is good

analog remnant
#

see we need like

#

multiple instances or something

random trail
#

that includes buying and selling cola on every skip

analog remnant
#

so we can test judgements

random trail
#

the judgment pool is fixed btw

analog remnant
#

how far?

drowsy osprey
#

RT did not use every judgement he found, its a possibility

#

for another blueprint/brainstorm or smth

random trail
#

i guess

#

i mean chekk all wraiths could be value

drowsy osprey
#

i remember taking the first wraith (in ante 6?) and it gave something uselss

analog remnant
#

cant wait to get burnt joker

analog remnant
random trail
#

each pack has a set joker in them while i think global jugdments have a global jugdment pool

#

if you have them in consumable they use a global pool but in packs they are set

analog remnant
#

so if you judgement then fool

#

?

random trail
#

so if every fool you use is a jugdment you might see something spicy

analog remnant
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

random trail
#

as you map the entire global jugdment pool

drowsy osprey
#

i can try that whenever i redo this run with sixth sense

analog remnant
#

oh wait

random trail
#

but the entire joker settup was perfect from RT atleast for not having legendary jokers

analog remnant
#

the main thing i wanted to test was

random trail
#

the only thing that could have made it better was getting a dusk from jugment after the antimater

analog remnant
#

negative anaglyph, and tarot anaglyph

drowsy osprey
#

that way, you can get more consistent ectoplasms/polychrome cards

analog remnant
#

ectoplasms, polychromes,

#

wraiths??????

proven lotus
#

yo guys how i can search for the app that lets me see the joker queue for a seed?

random trail
#

but dont you have a guaranteed poly from the aura at ante like 15

analog remnant
drowsy osprey
random trail
drowsy osprey
#

i have no fucking clue how rt got poly

analog remnant
#

😭

random trail
#

it is dependend on wich card u choose if i member right

drowsy osprey
#

star saw it i believe

#

oh

#

well thats nigh impossible to match then huh

random trail
#

if you test each card possistion they give differnt things

#

i mean just copy rt

#

thats the right card to hit

drowsy osprey
#

youre thinking that if i use the same card (i think 2 cards from the left) ill get poly?

analog remnant
#

sounds about right

random trail
#

i have seen someone play super optimised seeds before and card posistion manip changes the rng

#

but essentialy yes

drowsy osprey
#

ok great, ill keep that in mind

random trail
#

i think that position always gives poly

#

u might be able to get poly earlier if u test all positions of the first aura

analog remnant
#

that's so much testing 😭

random trail
#

ye no that sounds missreable

#

is there a save state mod that might help

#

you can also just back out before the pack closes

#

and test again when you are there

#

i think there are only really 2 optimiastion routes left. 1 is a secret perkeo. 2 is another retriger after getting anitmater wich is really tight

#

but if u find something let me know

drowsy osprey
#

so i was theory crafting how you would pull off the plasma strat with 6th sense

#

and the conclusion i have come to is that you cannot rely on retrigger 6s and dusk

#

this is because the whole point of using 6th sense is to get more ectoplasms since you can use at most 3 before you physically cannot use anymore

#

and because you can only copy cards with DNA on your first hand, exceeding handsize will be a problem

#

for example: if you have 2 handsize and you copy a retrigger 6 four times so you have a flush five

#

you need to play at least one more hand to get dusk to trigger (assuming you take no +1 hand vouchers), which means you wont have a flush five by then.

#

there are two workarounds:

#
  1. get more hand size via vouchers, which may be completely random depending on voucher system. if it isnt random, then we know that they are some of the last vouchers we can take, so its not viable.
#
  1. use ectoplasm until we have 2-3 ectoplasms in our consumable slot, then sell off 6th sense and use normal hack strats
#

because i do not want to venture into a 3+ hour run just to test one thing, i will choose the second option

#

so long as the comparative amount of 6s versus 4s is minimal, the risk of idol selecting the wrong card will be minimal

#

additionally, because we can get the ectoplasms relatively early (hopefully), the antes do not require retrigger jokers to operate in our favor, so even if it idol lands on 6s we can still play a flush 5

#

and if it does land on 6s, we would need 2 6s in the deck (if we have 3 copy jokers) or 3 6s (if we have 2 copy jokers), which can definitely be outpaced by 4s assuming we used all copy jokers + DNA on the 4s before getting 6th sense

#

of course, this is a backup plan in the <5% chance of happening and will not work by ante 15+

#

BUT, it is theoretically possible. i did see a sixth sense go by in the shop while RT was playing

#

the last thing left to do... is to confirm that its possible

#

also, theres the possibility of using pareidoilia (all cards count as face cards) + sock and buskin (retrigger all faces) but pareidoilia wastes a joker/negative slot that could be used for something else

#

that is the backup-backup strategy

random trail
#

just want to say vouchers are seed dependent

#

only way to see vouchers earlier is to buy other ones

analog remnant
#

ik this

#

anaglyph voucher tag :3

drowsy osprey
#

the experiment was performed and yielded negative results

#

however, one important thing is that i did manage to pull off two ectoplasms rather than one

#

had i cut my losses and sold sixth sense to get brainstorm (which i skipped because i thought i had more time/could still get another ecto out of sixth sense) i couldve gone further, which may have gotten me another ectoplasm in a pack

drowsy osprey
#

I have found a solution.

analog remnant
#

oh?

random trail
#

another ecto takes the game a lot farther cus you can take another retrigger

#

or idol if you manage to get that

mossy lintel
drowsy osprey
#

white stake, its the best for plasma deck since you get more time + money to setup

mossy lintel
#

Ah, that makes more sense. I hit some odd patches where I was $1-2 shy at ante 3

drowsy osprey
#

the only other viable stake to maximize score is black with ghost deck due to eternals + ankh, which basically necessitates perkeo

mossy lintel

~~Only other question - on Ante 3 big blind. ~~

Ante 3 Big Blind: Discard for spade flush, play full house of 7/6s found.

Should I be rolling for a flush, then still maintain 7s and 6s while digging for that?

How to consistently put Polychrome onto a glass card.

i needed money

i needed money at the very end

btw is this score with or without polyu?

drowsy osprey
#

when it mattered most

#

this was with poly

random trail
#

ah ok makes sense

#

really good work

drowsy osprey
#

the setup was 1 hack, 1 blueprint, 3 totems, and 3 brainstorms with a showman

#

had i had more money

#

i couldve replaced the showman with another hack

#

or another totem

#

...

random trail
#

wait isnt there any other money optimisations?

drowsy osprey
#

not money optimizations

#

just money

#

i entered the last few antes with $200

#

i needed so much more than that

random trail
#

ah i see i mean if u can get 2 gold red sealed cards thats alteast +8 more each blind

#

until final ecto

drowsy osprey

that round

#

that run

#

i took a different route

#

ah ok

drowsy osprey
#

which didnt let me generate at least 600 by like

#

#

i mean ur the runner so u know best

its because i found an invis joker

but can it go further?

i believe that is the question

if you enjoy optimizing seeds i have a seed to suggest to you jolteon

#

my own seed i found

drowsy osprey
#

i dont want to do seed optimization unless its for a dumb reason (like this)

lean solar
#

owell

obsidian gale
#

is this the dumbest reason you've optimized a seed?

drowsy osprey
#

ive never optimized a seed before. so yes, this is the dumbest reason since its the only reason ive found so far

drowsy osprey
#

One last thing that I will do before posting the final iteration of the RTGame seed route (which has now reach a 2k word count) is test the last ditch effort for Perkeo with Anaglyph (idea provided by @analog remnant ) since that is realistically the only thing that could possibly beat the optimization that I've set up

#

Other than what I've done so far, I don't think this seed can go furhter

analog remnant
#

if that idea does work, i would love to look at it

I think this seed is cool, but by no means a “god seed”, with how absurdly strong perkeo is right now, getting perkeo in ante 1 is pretty much a prerequisite for anything to be considered as a god seed with regards to WR score.

#

i dont think this seed was meant to be considered as a good seed, rt decided to use his own name and try and optimize that for a challenge rather than a god seed, and second of all getting perkeo early is necessary for a god seed but not ante 1, the wr score seed has perkeo in ante 2 and not ante 1, what makes a seed a god seed are the other factors that follow and that you can use in the rest of the run

drowsy osprey
#

this seed was never meant to be a god seed since it doesnt have an early perkeo

#

but its still a strong seed regardless and itd be fun to push it to its absolute limits

#

(if it had perkeo, there would be no limit to push because there is literally no limit)

drowsy osprey
#

Might need to do a bit of rerouting.

drowsy osprey
#

For those of you who were here from the start, I mentioned earlier that someone said they found Perkeo on Ghost deck.

#

When I tested this, it appeared to be false.

#

However, I've come to the realization that its possible for card selections to be different between versions

#

In particular, Souls give different legendary Jokers if you are playing on the Beta or not.

#

The first Soul card that you find, which is in Ante 9, gives Yorick on the beta but Perkeo on the main.

#

While I could simply try and route the seed on the current version, I've also noticed that instead of Brainstorm, an Invisible Joker spawns, rendering the whole Negative Brainstorm setup completely useless

#

In addition to that, there are a lot of other factors that rely heavily on the Beta patch, specifically the early Arrowhead and an easy Sixth Sense in Ante 14.

#

Then I've come to a very, very important realization.

#

I can make a cross-update route.

#

That way, I can play through the earlygame for money + Joker setup, then swap to the main patch when I pick up the Soul, then swap back.

#

And since both the current patch and beta patch RTGame seed did not house many Steel Perkeo jokers (only one Baron, zero mimes)

#

I can still use Idol/Flush Five, now with Telescope + Perkeo to scale further.

#

Anything that you've seen before is going to be snapped in half.

#

The score counter shall bow down to me.

wheat swift
#

We're gonna have a 3rd part to the RTgame seed it seems

#

Can't wait to see if RT gets to ante 39

#

(Also mad respect to Jolteon, dude is an absolute legend for committing this much to the bit)

drowsy osprey
#

that is, if RT wants to do this again, though with even more shenanigans injected into i

#

also, i havent tested any of these theories yet

#

still purely theoretical

#

just that if it works, itd be very funny for the route to involve savestates (wheel of fortune/ectoplasm), future sight (early game route), and multidimensional travel (swapping game versions)

wheat swift
#

I can see the title now.

#

"A stupid, stupid man bankrupts a casino with multidimensional travel"

#

Also because of how seeds function, it could work. It'd either stick to the state of one of the seeds with beta or vanilla qualities, or it does work and causes the run to take a long time.

drowsy osprey
#

Well.

#

I've already confirmed it.

wheat swift
#

So it does work?

drowsy osprey
#

Aaaand the recording got fucked up

#

Great

wheat swift
#

Holy shit, e101

#

That's a massive jump from e89

drowsy osprey
#

And its only going to go up from here.

#

And I still have a DNA and Showman

#

And I still havent gotten the +1 Joker Slot from Antimatter

wheat swift
#

This is absolutely ludicrous stuff man

#

Potential for high seeded runs has quite literally doubled

#

How long did all of this take you to figure out btw?

drowsy osprey
#

Ever since the start of this thread, which was nearly 2 weeks ago

#

Since then, I have lost track of how many hours I've put in

#

But all i know is I had at least 150 hours worth of playtime before and doing this seed fucked up my statistics big time (i.e. which Joker did I complete the most rounds in)

mossy ferry
#

i feel like seeds being different between the versions and not being related necessarily to the changes of the patch should be something that should be reported to the dev imo

drowsy osprey
#

The seeds being ever so slightly different between versions is purely because of rarity changes and how cards are selected from the pool

#

(at least that's my best guess)

#

What could've happened is that when Localthunk was balancing Yorick, he rearranged the queue order such that everything else was shifted ever so slightly to cause this discrepency

supple mason
#

Tbh the bufoon packs have the biggest effect imo. Once those were added I to the first shop it changes the joker orders in shops alot. For example the previous seeded world record speed run seed is dead now because it no longer gives a stuntman in the first shop or pack last I checked.

drowsy osprey
#

That might also be a butterfly effect from Localthunk rebalancing a lot of Jokers by changing the rarities. I've noticed that common and uncommon Jokers are highly inconsistent if you try and get them with the old seed analyzer because there have been a lot of rarity changes in balancing.

#

Anyway,

supple mason
#

Holy e142 👀. Looks like I got some work to do.

drowsy osprey
#

I made some particular mistakes that can be corrected in a different run

#

(such as not going for a third ectoplasm or being too greedy with Showman or occasionally forgetting to optimally use Perkeo)

#

Hopefully this is able to scale fast enough to reach naneinf.. but I have my doubts

supple mason
#

When you gotta move 2-3 jokers every round your bound to slip up once or twice. It's a pain to always remember lol.

#

I had several rounds on my seed where I forgot to move a blueprint back and it cost me a planet card or two. Which goes a long way.

drowsy osprey
#

I remember missing at least 3 whole Jokers shifts, meaning I only copied 1 planet card at least three times soooo yeah

#

Weird stuff

#

You can cheat gold-stake on current patch

drowsy osprey
#

I wonder if it resets the timer on Perishable...

uneven gyro
#

It literally removes your -1 handsize

#

by starting the run on beta-> going to standard

drowsy osprey
#

Yikes!

uneven gyro
#

I bet you also dont have to deal with scaling pack costs

drowsy osprey
#

Once the beta hits main tho, you won't be able to freely swap versions so I'm not sure if this is that important of an issue to fix... yet

uneven gyro
#

Yah, + its single player so who really cares if people cheat

#

but that's.... really interesting

#

and buggy

drowsy osprey
#

I was genuinely surprised and not surprised that swapping versions spawned Perkeo instead of Yorick

mossy ferry
drowsy osprey
#

Well... i'll be honest I dont really feel like routing a steel king + mime run into the RTGame seed

#

Especially cuz I only found a single Baron and no mimes by Ante 8

mossy ferry
#

yeah it’s been done a lot

uneven gyro
#

Nah you can hit nan-inf with perkeo+ 5flushfive and retriggers. The first person to hit nan inf with perkeo+telescope or w/e its called hit nan-inf without mime/baron.

#

but i think you need way more planets than getting perkeo in ante 9

#

to hit nan-inf

drowsy osprey
#

agreed, but i gotta work with what ive got

solemn canyon
#

Got the naneinf usinf mime and baron. The run is done on the main version to get the perkeo. There was also a cryptid on ante 9, so started duping it right away

lean solar
#

Gotta love how people worked on e142 and this man pulls a inf

solemn canyon
#

As long as there is perkeo, there is inf

wheat swift
#

That confirms an ante 39 then, neat

mossy ferry
drowsy osprey
#

if that doesnt work, ill try and route a ghost deck version

lean solar
#

i dont think observatory scales fast enough with the amount of copy jokers we have in this seed

#

ive seen 1 inf with observatory but that was with hack and idol

drowsy osprey
#

sucks that perkeo spawns so late, but i want to try it anyway

drowsy osprey
#

at this point im just holding out for hack/idol instead of baron/mime cuz ive already invested so much into making a hack/idol deck work xd

left jacinth
#

Actually insane how far yous have been able to push this haha

#

How on earth is infinity possible

drowsy osprey
#

Cryptid + Perkeo

#

I made a discovery that is probably a semi-gamebreaking glitch where shop outcomes are changed if you swap between versions

#

The first Soul on beta spawns Yorick on beta and Perkeo on main

#

So what you can do is start on beta for Brainstorm/Blueprint setup, then swap to main for Perkeo, then swap back for everything else

dusty gyro
#

yeah

left jacinth
#

That is insane haha

drowsy osprey
#

What I want to try is to see if its possible to break naneinf consistently with Perkeo + Observatory

left jacinth
#

Godspeed

#

If it is possible would be an honour to showcase again

#

I can't believe the swapping version things like that's so funny and extreme haha

lean solar
drowsy osprey
lean solar
drowsy osprey
#

I probably cannot break naneinf with Perkeo/Observatory, so if I can't I'll try and route a ghost-deck version that relies on Baron/Mime (which will likely be drastically easier to pull off)

lean solar
#

you can maybe try to do the black stake strat jolteon

#

oh wait no youre doing consistent inf

#

nvm
