God I finally unlocked all the jokers + vouchers. The hardest for me were 100 million and ante 12, which I finally got on an abandoned deck run. Turns out the reduced deck size makes it way easier to consistently hit your Steel + Red Seal cards with Death/DNA/Spectral. Now I've gotta actually, you know, buy every joker, but I don't have to do anything for that and can take my time.

The mask card was made foil at one point, so I kept it because I couldn't find anything else, even with all my rerolls and 3 items per shop, that gave more than 50 chips. Similarly, Fibonacci would have eventually been better suited by a straight mult of some kind, especially the one that works off used planets (Despite selling so many planets, I used a lot of planets.) Edit, Wait, is there a planet joker? There's definitely a tarot one.... Veryslightlymad fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Mar 14, 2024 |

I don't really think it would hurt the game to give a final score as much as the public info exists but its probably a lot of effort. I'd play a mod with it.

Burglar is so loving great in high stakes because it gets you back one of those hands you lost from losing a discard.

Missing my favourite thing about four finger straight flushes (the 4 cards that make it a flush don't have to be the same 4 cards that make it a straight)

This game really dug its claws in me, I cannot stop thinking about card strategies and discussing it with my friends. A Redditor transcribed the AMA with the dev into an easy to read post for those interested: https://old.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1bebf1g/balatro_developer_ama_transcript/

The complication would be that many effects are probability based, so it would either have to display a wide range or not display if you have lucky cards or one of a few jokers.

Got through my first gold stake win with Blue Deck yesterday. Bonus, I got a gold sticker on Cartomancer because it showed up in the shop as negative and I had enough money to buy it. Also, a pretty good vid about jokers in gold stake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V1KQlcwy2M

It gets you an extra 5 cards drawn, it converts unspent discards to income, and it completely shits on two fairly nasty bosses (The Water and The Needle.) It can be annoying against The Hook since it denies you any reliable way of shaping your hand, but if you have reasonably reliable hands then that's one of the easiest bosses anyhow. I guess it can kind of suck against the... whichever boss charges you $1 per card played. But you're still likely coming out ahead financially from the discards you get to cash in on.

How does it poo poo on the needle? The needle can instantly kill your run with that joker.

Speaking of interactions like that, I was doing the challenge where you only have 1 hand and I bought the voucher that gives you -1 hand and lowers the ante. My hand actually dropped to 0 and I was scared for a moment, but you still get 1 hand when you enter a round so it was fine.

Not at all surprised to see that gold stake is the #1 complaint about this game. gently caress gold stake. Also I'm glad the creator is on the correct side of not having a score preview. Modders will make that a reality, and having one available in-game would mean you're handicapping yourself to not use it and the game is much more exciting to me with that hint of unknown. quote:For example, one of the criticisms I heard a few times is that this game is worse because it lacks a story/characters.

i was actually quite relieved that this game has no story or other poo poo and you can Just Play It or watch people without worrying about spoilers i do wish jimbo had more lines and appearances, though. they should put in an option like old Hoyle Card Games that let you turn up how talkative he is, from "shows up at the end only" to "clowns on every single hand you play"

Finally did a run where I got Obelisk (x0.2 mult per consecutive hand played without playing your most played poker hand) to be worth something. It's just such an awkward card to use, but I think its at its best as a pivot joker when you're already running a flexible build. This run I was leaning pretty heavily on full houses, but the second obelisk came up I was able to easily pivot to 4 of a kind and take extreme advantage of that xMult. Only had 10 Full Houses played, but between Two Pair/X of a Kinds I was able to play a whole bunch of hands without any of them becoming my most played hand. Oh, and then I was able to Brainstorm it to top it all off. x4.4 mult squared is pretty good, actually!

I had a great spare pants + obelisk run the other day. Spammed two pairs until the pants were up to 50 or so mult and then just stopped playing two pair to rack up obelisk bonuses. By this point I had enough multiples in the deck that I could hit full houses pretty reliably, so I didn't even have to completely stop scaling the pants.

Does obelisk reset if you play a most-played hand, or does it just stop accumulating additional xmult? I assumed it was the former, but if latter it might be busted and I need to try.

Yeah it resets whenever you play your most played hand. Before you score it, to rub salt in the wound. To really use it you either need to get it early enough that you can spam like high card for 12 hands, or be at a good point to pivot away from your most plated hand. (Also gotta be careful if high card is your most played hand because a whiffed draw could easily wipe that mult.)
