Blue stake down, which surprised me because it was kind of a dogshit build and I hosed up the bus after having it accrue for the first five antes. Wouldn't have had a chance if I hadn't picked up the x3 mult for 3oak joker.

Apparently Steam updated the game for me today, is that the big patch or has that not happened yet? I'm not in the beta or whatever

Can you unlock stuff from challenge runs? If so I might just try to get $400 on Rich Get Richer.

I think the only times I've passed blue stake or up were when I was lucky enough to get a Wasteful voucher.

If my closet wasn't so full already, I'd buy the banana hoodie.

The merch he should really release if he's not allergic to money is physical packs of the jokers.

Can Blueprint break if you put it next to a banana?

Orange stake finally down, thanks to the double Stencils. One being negative increased both by 1x as well, that was nice.

Can that joker be copied effectively by the jokers that copy other jokers? Can you push your probabilities even higher with Blueprint or the copying joker?

Nope, Blueprint is incompatible with Oops All Sixes https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Blueprint_(Joker)?so=search#Incompatible_Jokers

I have Hanging Chad and Photograph. The run will definitely clear Ante 8 but I heard this is the e cheat code. Doesn't feel like it! What am I missing?

Just cleared Golden Needle on my first attempt thanks to Acrobat showing up in the very first shop. x3 mult on the final hand of round, so... every hand. Great luck with other jokers too.

Exact details aren't clear yet, but there'll be a special edition with a pack of cards and a pack of jokers.

Cool! I hope that's not the only way to get physical copies of jokers though.

Finally passed my last challenge, Jokerless. It was rough but so satisfying in the end.

Summer Games Done Quick is going on right now and someone named Cixah is slated to speedrun Balatro tonight, but only if they raise enough money (for charity!) Donate here and make sure to click 'add incentive' and select the Balatro bonus run.

The run type is going to be "3 deck random seed, skipless."

I think I enjoyed every challenge despite the difficulty, except x-ray vision. Not even knowing what cards you have just loving sucks man. Thoroughly hated that one.

E: and yes I know you can use the enhancement tarots to flip a card over and see what it is but that opportunity doesn't come all that often.

Thunk should add a spectral card that puts eternal on a joker of your choice so it can't destroyed by Madness and whatnot.

El Jeffe
Dec 24, 2009

Just realized there are seals that produce tarot cards and planet cards but no spectral cards. Maybe "Black seal: 1 in 2 chance to give a spectral card if this card triggers a joker" or something along those lines?

Has Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers been mentioned here? It's balatro but blackjack. I bounced off the demo but it's fully out now and I might try again.

I'd be curious to know the demographic breakdown for clearing gold; that is, how many people 1.) run one deck at a time, 2.) run through every deck on the same stake, or 3.) do whatever.

I just played whatever I felt like until I started getting consistent results and finally hit gold (for the first time); now that I've done that, I tend to focus on one deck at a time.

I'm going deck by deck rather than stake by stake. That way after clearing a gold I can go back to the easy stakes for a while and I definitely prefer that sort of variety over the other way around. I don't want to eventually have to do gold stake a bunch of times in a row.
