Just noticed the king of hearts isn’t stabbing himself in the head in balatro. Definitely the worst part of the game imo.

1:05:50 you could have discarded for 15$. I'm surprised you missed it.

Note that the scaling in endless mode is tetrational, proportional to x^x^x. At the moment, there isn’t a way to scale one’s hand at O(x^x^x), but this problem is obscured by the Ante 39 naneinf glitch.

True, but for now, we’ve found the end of Endless, in the same way the glitch screen in Pac-Man is the end of that game. If retriggers were multiplicative instead of additive, or if chip multiplication was a thing, we’d probably find a way to breach it, but for now, we’re just gonna have to settle for being bigger than floating point

I just got naneinf on unseeded. My life is complete. Thank you professor

Nice been waiting for something like this!

This video is fantastic I love the way you describe strategy. Was talking with Malf earlier today about strategy for long runs versus strategy for just gold stakes make it through ante 8 so this is perfect timing you uploading this. Love your content you are awesome! Oh also love the new pngtuber thing. So cute and perfect!

1:17:00 Almost not hitting a 3. That is how I lost one of my straight runs. it happened on the final boss on ante 8. Just needed one 10 to show up and it never did. So after that, I stopped maining straights until I started watching Balatro University and have come to realize that I was just unlucky at the wrong time.

I hate building on straights for that reason too. It feels like there's no backup, if you miss any straight you're done for. And even if there's like a 95% chance you hit on any given blind, that's a 5% chance to lose on any given blind. Although it may just *feel* that way because it sucks and stands out when you lose with a straight deck because you score like 20k points against a 100k ante when you just scored 240k vs the last blind.

following your guidance i got myself in a great position with perkeo which i got a wraith which i used to build my deck i ended up with perkeo, the duo, bloodstone, swashbuckler, negative baseball card, negative baron and lusty joker i got my deck to kings and jacks hearts with still quite a few random useless card but i couldn't make any money other than selling 1 wraith per round 4g and as i had no money couldn't roll to be able to switch to a better hand than 1 pair as i needed the other kings in my hand to keep up with scoring and eventually the antes got me but only on 9th it felt such a great run but i got lost in the middle and didn't know how to go about generating money as scoring became more and more important so the run just sort of ground me down. i watch a lot of your videos and you make it look effortless especially the generating income bit which is the bit that i find very difficult as i feel like i'm always worried about my score.

I was thinking about negative playing cards and drew the same conclusion--way too strong the moment you use Death on one. Redefining "negative" to include "copies don't keep negative" may be a reasonable solution (it is in line with how Invisible Joker already works, I believe, so simplifies that description; otherwise I don't think it comes up except maybe the rare Ankh on a negative).

Different people play the game in different ways and for different reasons; I think that's part of what makes the game so accessible to so many people. Folks interested in a challenge typically play Gold Stakes to Ante 8 (possibly chasing the Completionist++ achievement). Folks interested in record-breaking big numbers and crazy synergy typically play on the lowest difficulty. There isn't a huge market for Endless content on High Stakes. However, I think the Challenge runs would greatly benefit from you being able to customize the difficulty with Stakes. I dabbled in doing challenge runs on regular non-Challenge decks, even going so far as to do a Jokerless Gold Stake (on Abandoned Deck). If this is the sort of thing which interests you, maybe check out the Completionist++ playlist.

Love your content, love this game, and hate math. I also have not found Yurick . My last Joker to get, I also need to find the final voucher I unlocked. Working on blue yellow deck so I can unlock all decks. Been close. Do we know when the update is coming to the console?

1:36:53 when I ask the doctor where his fist went in a concerned tone

You're crazy with making money. 3 econ jokers in a high scoring guide thats wild

This. This is what I can't do yet

I think it can be possible for the voucher skip tag to be worth it for very long runs; vouchers can't be bought, and if you really need to fill out with paintbrush and antimatter before like ante 20 sometimes it's what will get you there

@1AlasBabylon

That is somewhat by design, though usually the big jumps happen at every 4 antes, especially past 8. Getting stuck at 11 isn't unheard of though. Beating 8 is enough to be considered a win; everything past that is gravy.

what if superposition gave you a saturn if it was an ace low flush? would that be too strong?

42:04 Is there a reason you sold the runner over the moon here or did you just miss it? It ended up working out because you bought the sixth sense, setting you at 10 for interest, but it seemed like you didn't notice it was there since you were about to move on without it. In a vacuum, I feel like the value in the scoring from runner and opening the superposition slot for free was more than the extra dollar given from selling the runner.

@drspectred

It was determined that we could (and would continue to) one-shot without Runner. Therefore, we sell it. We only aim to score just enough points to pass every round and dedicate as many Joker slots as possible to building up our resources.

Also, I think the discussion about interest at 19:35 is misleading since you have to calculate interest on a case by case basis. Once you hit the interest cap the compounding effects stop, so the price for buying the voucher is the base $10 plus the $2 in extra interest per round, but only until you hit the cap. If you would hit the cap in 2 rounds without buying the voucher and 4 rounds without you only made an extra $4 of interest. Plus you're unlikely to maximally greed with the extra money and instead you're likely to just spend it on something else. The telescope and a celestial pack allowed BU to survive without picking up a joker, but had he not bought telescope he would have needed to spend money elsewhere to survive, so the benefits from the interest aren't all that big. I don't disagree with the decision to buy the voucher, but I think there's a lot of nuance to calculating the impact of buying something vs not that isn't explained.

I sense a great number of new high scores are going to start showing up on Reddit It would be nice if the avatar didn't do the little "hop" animation when you started talking.

I actually have a playlist of Jokerless runs on the non-challenge decks such as Jokerless Magic Deck and Painted Deck. I even did Jokerless Gold Stake on the version 1.0.1. None of the Joker changes apply to the Jokerless Challenge. The main changes with 1.0.1 are this: The early Blind sizes are lowered, so it's even easier to get off the ground. Blue Seal now gives you the Planet Card of your last played hand instead of a random Planet Card. This is a huge buff which guarantees late game scaling. And then finally, Saturn Cards give more Mult, so it's easier to score with Straights than before. Basically, any lessons from the previous Jokerless Challenge still apply in 1.0.1. You're going to need to get better at leveraging Card Enhancements from Tarot Cards. Because the Jokerless Challenge removes Jokers from the shop, you'll see 4 times as many consumables. Regardless, the Flint (half chips and mult) is a huge pain. Hope to not see it. +Mult Cards from Empress and Bonus Cards from Hierophant can help mitigate this, since those bonuses are applied after the Flint's effect.

I’m not him, and I don’t know for a fact (I’m pretty sure most Jokers don’t care, but also some mods of the game accidentally recognize face cards below Stone), but a consistent way to win is “High Card” strategies. A more accurate way to put it is a hand-independent strategy. While planet cards can do work in the proper deck, it’s also easy to make any deck work at all with scaling mult, a consistent source of chips, and some times mults. The hard part is actually assembling the whole thing, but a lot of high Stake gameplay is working with what you have and not what you want anyway.

I wish the character in the bottom right was a bit smaller

1:16:40 The probability of not drawing a 3 there was (11÷15)×(10÷14)×(9÷13) ×(8÷12)×(7÷11) = 15.4%, not terrible but not ideal odds.

Can someone help me understand the discussion about skipping starting at around 11:20? If you skip the first small blind vs not skipping it, the only thing that's different is what you would have gotten in the first shop, and the money from unplayed hands. If you wouldn't have bought anything then you only missed out on the couple of dollars, which matters but isn't really that big of a difference. You do miss out on seeing a couple shop items, but I usually don't buy anything in the first shop anyway, so it seems like on average it's a small consequence. Basically what I'm saying is that if I handed you two save files in an ante 2 shop, one that skipped the first small blind and one that didn't, the only difference would be a few dollars and the round counter would be off by 1. To me this seems to be a mistake similar in size to forgetting to discard for a gold card, which is something good players often forget to do. I acknowledge that skipping the first ante is usually not good, but how is playing the round better than skipping for $25, for example? I know you don't get the payout immediately, but it's still worth more than the $3 you get from playing the small blind and the extra $1 of interest you would have earned from the big blind.

@DrMonty-ng5fo

2 ай бұрын

Lets say you don't skip the first blind. You enter the second shop with $10. So, not only are you getting the $7, you're getting an entire extra shop. The difference between having 2 shops in an ante, compared to 3 shops, is massive. Also, even though $7 doesn't sound like much, it can snowball your economy into making more and more money. So basically, is that skip tag worth more than $10 in value, and skipping your shop, which you have a finite amount of? Well, sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. But losing a shop is a bigger downside than you realize.

@@DrMonty-ng5fo How is it $7? On a normal deck, like red deck, if you don't skip you will have $7 in the first shop and $14 in the second shop (if it takes you 1 hand for the small blind and 2 hands on the big blind). If you do skip you will have $10 in the second shop (again assuming 2 hands needed for the big blind). To me that means that you're comparing the skip reward to seeing the first shop with basically no money, and having $4 more in the second shop. The rewards from skipping are often better than that

10:00 In my opinion, there is one tag that is worth it in the context of a mega long run. The voucher tag can give you extra chances at getting the best vouchers in the game, the antimatter joker which gives you an extra joker slot, or the extra hand size vouchers, which can allow you to take an ectoplasm card, indirectly giving you an extra joker slot. Still I would never take this tag without a bonus tag, and i would never get a bonus tag from anywhere else than diet soda. (I would prioritize diet soda highly though)
