No Wave posted:Mechanical question for unlocks: there are some vouchers that are just better versions of other vouchers. Like one that's like Hone but makes foils/holos/prismatics 4x as common instead of 2x. Are there conditions for having them show up in a run? I think they might only show up after you've bought the lower level one, but idk, only seen one once and I had already activated the lower level one in the run.

Like one that's like Hone but makes foils/holos/prismatics 4x as common instead of 2x. Are there conditions for having them show up in a run? Yes, those ones can't show up in a run unless you've already redeemed the basic one, basically the unlocks just give you the opportunity to buy that effect twice. Super mega secret spoilers: The "blank" voucher has an upgraded version that does something incredibly good, but the only way to get that one is to gamble $10 on a blank voucher and hope that the upgraded one shows up later in the run. Worse, the unlock condition on adding the upgraded blank to the pool is... buying the blank voucher 10 times, so you have to repeatedly throw away $10 on a voucher that does nothing just to have the opportunity that it might pay off in future runs.

 Made it to Ante 13 with the plasma deck  Shoutout to Blueprint Bean with the dice so every heart has a large chance of giving 4x multi, made it kinda random with hands being between 75mill to 31bill but that's roguelikes for you

I'm ok with that. I wonder how many I have bought. I grab it basically every time I have spare dosh, mostly because I keep expecting it to do something eventually.

Skipped to get a polychrome joker, it turns out to be Vampire (consumes enhancements to get xmultiplier) which would be great if I didn't have an eternal Driver's License (x3 if you have at least 16 enhanced cards). Not sure if I should still take it, like its clearly a lot stronger than the license and works with my current deck but it would effectively be taking 2 slots. (Balatro: Vampire would be great but I have an Eternal Driver's License)

One of my best runs was Vampire paired with Midas Mask (turns face cards into gold cars), basically was adding to the Vampire mult every single turn, was somewhere around 12x by the end of my run. Extremely fun

Had a hilarious run where I pulled a legendary joker early that duplicated a tarot card that you have after each store which let me make my entire deck spades. That plus the joker that increases a hands level 1:4 times that got my flush to level 20 made the last 4 antes a bunch of mindless flush clicking but it got me my first win. Thank god I didn’t get a boss blind that debuffed spades haha.

 This card plus Four Fingers has turned into the dumbest possible run. Everything is a straight, can practically pick any 4 cards and there we go.

The latter of the two specifically targets your most played hand, and is a property of the boss. The former is like the suit-specific bosses. You can definitely draw any of those if you have literally 0 in the suit/face cards

Love that my winning ghost deck run involved selling the free hex card because my first joker was a negative abstract joker and you're out of your loving mind if i'm losing that good thing too cause I ended up having nine jokers by the end of the run lmfao

Pipski posted:God loving drat it, I wish The Eye would keep a list of what hand types you've already used against it. Absolutely hosed myself at the end of a glorious run, then, by getting mixed up wrt my prior hands. Livid. What platform are you playing on? The Steam version pops up text that your current hand won't score for Eye/Psychic etc if it doesn't meet the conditions, which is great because I would forget otherwise every single time.

Nearly finished my first run, then got the unpleasant surprise that the last boss required selling a joker fml haha. Do you always get that same last boss blind or does it cycle like the other ones?

The game just owned me so hard hahaha, I couldn't even be mad My Joker clown car was powered by a dagger that had eaten a high-value egg for like 80 mult, after saving it for half the run. After that, I picked up the three on the left in short succession and it turned out to be an unbelievable combo. All face cards give chips, all face cards give mult, and most importantly? With Pareidolia all cards from lowest to highest are face cards.    Oh gently caress. It won't, will it?  Oh my god.  OH MY GOOOODDDDD

Had my best run this morning got the hobo joker feeding cards to prismatic joker that powers up xmult every time you sell a card and linked it to blueprint got like a 100k high card at one point.unattended spaghetti posted:Nearly finished my first run, then got the unpleasant surprise that the last boss required selling a joker fml haha. you can beat that boss without selling a joker if you have jokers that add chips to cards those will still trigger.

Yeah, keeping an eye on what the boss blind is really important sometimes. If something like that happens, it's probably a good time to start reroll digging for alternatives. Or at least sell Paradolia next time. Happened to me too once!

 Just had the goofiest loving run. I did a win streak on checkered all the way up to purple chip and then died 3 times in a row, so when Madness came up early I picked it up on a lark. Grabbed the first eternal card I saw with a fixed multiplier bonus, at which point I discovered that Madness's multiplier goes up whether or not it actually destroys anything. Then I got an eternal stuntman and all bets were off. Opened a bunch of spectral packs and upgraded Madness to polychrome for free since it was the only unmodified joker I had and the others were indestructible. At this point I was hitting 30-40k on a high card and was starting to get a little antsy because I knew this wouldn't scale enough to beat the end boss, but then I found eternal campfire. Since I had spare joker slots there was nothing stopping me from buying jokers and immediately selling them back at half cost to pump up campfire, and it's not like I had much to spend money on anyhow. I doubt it's going to go very far in endless but it was an amusing run. This is what I mean when I say checkered deck doesn't have to be all about flushes in the long run. Being able to hit flushes super reliably gives you an incredibly strong early game, and very very consistent since you know exactly how much you can reliably score.

Quantum of Phallus posted:what you playing on? i dont think there's been any updates so i presume it's on your end In other news, GamesRadar did an interview with LocalThunk shedding light on the game's origins. It was originally intended to be a simple version of Big Two for a small circle of friends to play against each other online, but then they watched some videos of someone playing Luck Be A Landlord and killed the online focus in favor of a single-player chase for More, Bigger Numbers, at which point personal circumstances suggested that making it a commercial product would probably be a better idea than sticking to the original intended audience of, like, four people. They intend to keep updating the game as long as it stays fun to develop, but there's no plans or roadmap or whatever.

It does, but that's too late if you just used your discards to intentionally build a hand that won't score and you're now stuck with. It's fundamentally a brain problem on my part.

The Kins posted:There's been at least one minor update on Steam. Just some small bug fixes. This guy owns. I watched a pre-release video of him playing the game on YouTube and he genuinely comes off as someone who really enjoys making games for fun. Also that he's just going to keep working on it until he doesn't feel like it anymore. I mean the game launched in such a complete state already anything added is a bonus.

I have hit Orange chip difficulty and you truly need an amazing start to get past the blind ramping from the purple chip, going down to 2 discards is brutal I got through purple with a strong start with Fibonacci and an extremely early Constellation. A lucky Negative Stencil made the dream work. Two Pair was around level 24 when the run died in Ante 11 Also, if people are wondering what the Blank voucher unlocks after buying it 10 times

Extremely fun I'm playing a run with this right now. It's absurd. You just arrange it so the cards get golded and then wiped by vampire every time they're played. I got an early constellation as well, so this is looking really good.
