Egg talking about how hard it is to live for 3 more turns without the x2 Mult from the Tribe when he has literally never triggered the x2 mult from the tribe once in the whole run is this video's Type A trigger-moment.

It really is wild just how much this game brings out the Type-A comments. Like on the episode where he got three Legendary Jokers, none of the top comments were about how incredible that was. They were all just going off on misplays. Not even saying whether the Type-A-ers are going too far or not, I'm just amazed at the lack of variety in the comments. So I appreciate you doing your best to be positive!

@@madeofmarble8514 Sure, sure, if you can see the future. He had no idea he would get mime four shops later or that he would have the opportunity to get a 24 hand size. What he did have was a bunch of gold cards and lucky cards he was playing and a bunch of steel cards he wasn't playing. Simply put he could throw the gold cards to build vampire and even if it didn't get to x36 by the time he got to the mime it would've still been literally infinitely better than the Tribe which was doing nothing and it would've been better than baseball card which was giving x2.25 give or take where he placed the blueprints. So yeah, steel goes hard, but a joker literally doing nothing doesn't.

At the time he could've taken vampire it would've been infinitely better than literally useless. He was playing a bunch of gold cards and holding steel. He could still use steel and also get the multiplier. I'm not saying that Mine + steel isn't goated. I'm saying Vampire would've immediately been better than The Tribe has ever been AND later he could've sold vampire for mime. Vampire isn't necessarily the way, the truth, and the life but it is way better than literally nothing.

@@themauler1599 i do understand very well, the tribe doing nothing is way better than the vampire killing the run by eating the steel cards because at some point your deck in endless is only steel cards thats how you beat ante 32 so yea sure he could have banked on only playing his gold cards to eat those with the vampire but that would have hurt his econ and the econ is way more valuable than vampire for 1 or 2 antes
Have a feeling this is "The One" that he tweeted about I'm pre-Pogged and ready to go edit: 'e'xcellent work, 47
I had my doubts about the steel build at first, but when the blueprints started popping, and then the MIME hit, I saw the pattern coalesce. Bravo.
Balatro is one of the greatest games, and the Egg is the best to watch. Always a treat to watch god plays and misplays!
52:01 I'm going to use a novel technique in type-A chatting: Praising NL for his smart decisions. As we see in the timestamp, he moves a Blueprint Joker from a Flat Mult Joker(+100 MULT) to a Times Mult Joker(x2.75 MULT) The best way to figure out what is the best Blueprint Joker position is this: Let's imagine a simplified situation. We have a 100x10 hand. We also have a Joker that gives us 100 MULT, a Joker that gives us x2 MULT, and a Blueprint Joker. Now we have a decision: Where to put that Blueprint Joker? Let's write the Mult calculation: (10 + 100a) * 2b, either a=1, b=2 or a=2, b=1. Now let's simplify this. (10 + 100a) * 2b = 20b + 200ab Now it's obvious, b is more valuable than a. If you are better with words than numbers: is it better to double a single Joker's Mult, or all Mult? In general, (if the Times Mult on a Joker is 2x or more), it's always better to duplicate Times Mult Joker it instead of any flat MULT Jokers.

@Slink1701
2 ай бұрын
@@nathanlayton4910Yes, so basically blueprint doubles the mult. which makes it functionally equivalent to a x2 mult card. Thus, duplicating the x2.75 mult card is strictly better. (100 + 100) x 2.75 = 100 x 2 x 2.75 < 100 x 2.75 x 2.75

I don't know why, but as a person who watches NL's KZread only videos when eating dinner and doesn't know what's happening half the time because I'm not paying attention or questions his moves when I do understand, watching him create a 415 quadrillion hand made me laugh so hard. Admittedly, I was pointing my chopsticks at the monitor screaming "BUT YOU DON'T PLAY FLUSHES!!", but man that exponential MULT growth was so good!!
pro tip: usually for steel decks, you want high card leveled, so you have the biggest amount of steel on your hand triggering. for glass its the opposite, you want flush fives.
For anyone curious, the e17 means the decimel moves 17 places, or that there are 17 zeroes at the end of that 4. So the hand was worth 400 QUADRILLION chips. 415, even, since it's 4.15e17
22:39 no developer could ask for higher praise than that. A decade plus fan of the roguelite and deckbuilder genres making a statement like that hits different.
First time in ages I've watched a youtube video full screen on monitor 1. Absolutely pogged out of my gourd
1:04:31 "I dont even know why I am leveling these up we know we are so mars pilled" *Skips mars immediately after*
The unadulterated bliss of the moment of 1:01:32 where the machine is dinging and the number turning nuclear makes this game an all-timer. I really hope he continues this series.
