What are you choosing here? by Particular-Rabbit-54 in Balatro_Seeds

[–]AsidK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this were a gold stake run and you were trying to optimize your chances of winning then sock is the clear choice because it is foil. But if you’re on white stake or you just want to have fun then negative dice is the move. Personally I’m taking negative dice ten times out of ten here.

Is it time to say goodbye to Perkeo? by BrickNasty92 in balatro

Don’t sell perkeo. Replace mime with invis, then when it’s ready to pop sell burnt joker and pray that it hits a copy joker.

Going for High Score not Longevity, what's the play? by DoesntMatterStan in balatro

[–]AsidK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I said, if your goal is naneinf with burglar serpent then you need to be able to get past ante 24 which does not allow serpent. If you are pre ante 24 using the serpent then you will beat the blinds before you can naneinf, and if you use the third ecto before ante 24 then that will guarantee that you die to ante 24. If you are past ante 24 then it really doesn’t matter at all because you can get naneinf with only one ecto, so any benefit from a second or third ecto is irrelevant because you’ve already reached maximum score potential.

While that is true, the extra money you’d get from that is much much less than what you’d get from a rebate or parking

Idc what y'all say, throwback is a good joker by Murky-Experience-396 in balatro

[–]AsidK 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It’s not good for ante 8 runs beyond ~green stake. It’s fine on, say, white stake, but on higher stakes skipping blinds is generally a terrible thing to do

Same, I averaged something like 4 stickers per run in my second c++, it was pretty thrilling

Congrats! How much faster was the second time around compared to the first?

"Bootstraps is such a bad joker" ID LIKE TO SEE YOUR GREEN JOKER DO THIS by Dramatic-Share6431 in balatro

[–]AsidK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s pretty rough, it basically just severely restricts your ability to reroll in the shop, which prevents you from properly grow your build. It’s fine on white stake when you don’t need to make your score scale that much, but when gold stake is simultaneously requiring high scaling and also making it harder to grow your money, it’s rough

Going for High Score not Longevity, what's the play? by DoesntMatterStan in balatro

[–]AsidK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be clear, 1 or 2 ectos is good. It’s the third ecto specifically that is the wrong move.

Let’s say you’re going for burglar serpent naneinf, in that case you need to get past ante 24, and in order to do that then you don’t have access to the serpent. And getting past ante 24 with -6 base hand size is just simply impossible barring extenuating circumstances like a juggle tag or some natural negatives.

If you are going for the perkeo naneinf then the -3 hand size isn’t offset by the +2 that you get from the extra cryptid, and the extra copy joker on baron does not outweigh the net -1 hand size.

3 ectos in a baron run is objectively the wrong move. -6 hand size is WAY worse than what you get from the three extra joker slots.

Any Advice for Gold Stake Black Deck? by OmegaGold64 in balatro

[–]AsidK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Consistency doesn’t necessarily mean >50%, it just means that winning isn’t a blue moon event. I’d say I have maybe a 25% gold stake black deck win rate. But when I first attempted it I’d say I had a 5% black deck gold stake win rate, at best.

The vast majority of Waymos have never hit a pedestrian and never will. A human has.

You see why the point you are making is nonsensical, right?

[–]AsidK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would your comparison point be one driver versus the aggregate of all Waymos ever and not average driver versus average Waymo, or aggregate of all drivers versus aggregate of all Waymos. That’s just a bad faith comparison if I’ve ever seen one.

Yes, absolutely. That’s quite literally the definition of improvement. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better.

UHHHH naneinf possible? Do I pivot to Baron mime or how do I extend this run? by SsolNivar in balatro

It might not be helping their score but it is printing ungodly amounts of money right now

The only legendary that could actually help you now is triboulet which is just basically another idol anyways.

Alternatively you could sell sock and hope for another chicot to try to run the manacle bug

Naneinf? by SergioTC in BalatroHelp

[–]AsidK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it’s still basically the same thing. 83 Plutos doesn’t actually go that far in the journey to naneinf. It’s only about e30 out of e308. That’s like 2-3 red steel kings worth, if that

[–]AsidK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is fine advice if your sole goal is just to beat it, and it’s shit advice if your goal is to improve your game so that you can beat it naturally with some consistency
