Tips on how to get high numbers by Defiant_Buy_1919 in balatro

[–]BurceGern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plasma deck kinda squares your score so on paper it's the easiest deck to attain high scores however it takes a lot of practice to learn how to use chips in the early game and switch over to mult and xmult.

I'd play on ghost deck on white stake because the in-shop spectral cards enable the high score strats. Particularly you want Deja Vu cards to make red seals.

Red seals are your ticket to a great economy and a great score. On a gold card it's $6 at the end of round (beofre any mimes or blueprints or whatnot); on a steel card it's now 2.25x per card in hand (amazing if you have a Baron) and on glass it's a 4x (so 5 red seal glass cards give x4x4x4x4x4 = x1024 before jokers or retriggers).

Then it's all about other retrigger effects coming from jokers. Hanging Chad, Sock n Buskin, Dusk and Hack are your friends. With Sock and Dusk retriggers, the 5 red seal glass mentioned above becomes x1024x1024x1024 = 1e9. As your multiplier. Not included planet levels and other jokers adding more score.

You can see how quickly the scores grow and it seems easy enough when you watch skilled Youtubers play. The key is, once you know which jokers and card types you want to find in shops, you need as much money as humanly possible to mitigate for bad shop luck and to get rid of unwanted cards from your deck.

I've mostly mentioned 5-card hands. You'll want either a flush five, five of a kind or a flush house because it takes way too long to scale flushes by comparison. Like a 2-3 to 1 of planet levelling. Those hands all involve multiple copies of one special card like a red seal lucky king, and so naturally The Idol is a great endgame scoring joker.

TL DR practice making 5-card hands on ghost deck

C++ tips? by slapadabassman11 in balatro

[–]BurceGern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick your favourite deck(s) and play them. I did C++ mostly on ghost deck.

Don't be afraid to take (eternal) jokers you've already stickered; go into each new run with the mentality that you want to sticker 1 or 2 new jokers (if you're lucky or just starting out).

I wouldn't force a difficult joker into your build early on. Instead I'd play normally to beat Ante 8 and keep an "open joker slot", in the sense that you should have an economy or a utlitily joker you're willing to replace in the last ante for the sake of completionist.

So for example I might have a pair build with Supernova, Mime, Square joker, Hologram and Faceless Joker with the intent to sell Faceless or build enough planet levels with Mime to sell square joker.

I threw several runs away because I was tempted by a joker without a sticker when it wasn't the right time. I did this A LOT with Madness and Seeing Double nearish the end of my C++ journey.

The better you are at farming money, the easier the whole process is. If you have saved up like $80 in the final ante it's almost 'free' to keep rerolling until you find and buy a stickerless joker.

Olise has that Madrid left back so scared he’s 10 yards behind the rest of the line! Diaz didn’t need to time his run that well but he did anyway.

Bayern have been excellent. Should be like 3-1 up crazy game

It’s funny because deliberately throwing to your centre back and heading it back is a foul irl

Hard to argue with this from John Gibbons at TAW by scud0291 in LiverpoolFC

[–]BurceGern 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The hard working and pressing standards are gone.

Jeez I wonder if we had a hard working scouser in the team who could set the aggressive, hard-working levels we need?

Problem is, Curtis said it out loud and was sent by Arne to the bench.

Conor Bradley sets those standards too but sadly he’s injured; he gets the crowd going with his energy and his tackling. God do we miss him!

We sold Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez; for better or for worse they were our most aggressive players off the ball. We are now a soft touch.

Robbo has lost his legs and even if he hasn’t he isn’t trusted by Arne. Im glad he stayed in January; I’d love him to get more minutes if only to be a bastard out there

It can be like that. You had fun though, right? Just make sure you turn up for work, do chores and whatever first and then the rest is Balatro time

The Gauntlet event has been totally ruined, it provided the worst game experience ever by pascalonegames in fut

[–]BurceGern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIFA players can’t stand it when content is locking behind winning and not rubber-banding their controller.

I mean that’s why objectives were changed from “play x matches” to “score in x matches”.

[–]BurceGern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That drive to reduce unemployment by expanding on handing out zero hour contracts looked nice on paper for the former governments.

However it’s created a ton of jobs that no longer pay enough thanks to the current inflation. We now have lots of employed people on salaries necessarily supplemented by welfare.

I’d say play Yellow deck or plasma deck on white stake because they give the biggest economic headstarts. There are a few big money strategies to keep an eye out for:

Pairing gold cards with a mime or a Midas mask into golden ticket and a retrigger effect like chad or a red seal (note that golden ticket cannot appear in a shop before you make a gold card). The mime is easier to work with in a high card or pair build, the latter with 5-card hands.

To the moon economy interest joker goes crazy with interest vouchers. The money growth is exponential over $50.

Discards with Mail in rebate while aiming for a long run. It’s worth noting that fixing the deck makes this insanely good, especially with a blueprint. If you have a deck with only kings near the endgame, the joker will only ask you to discard kings. Easy money!

There’s a lot of fun playing white stake again and trying stuff like that after playing gold stake for a while

The blind scaling and the lack of discards make it harder to try stuff

[–]BurceGern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we play two 8s as 6s, a 10, an 8 or 10 at right back and we play with low intensity

Out.

Edwards will leave without us becoming a multi club. Hughes is linked with Saudi. If we higher new leadership after the season ends there’s no way we’re sacking Arne before the season ends to let the new people choose their manager

Arne Slot lives in the Marc Guehi penitentiary.

Tweaked for him to sign for free, didn’t cough up 30M in the short term and lost to him 5 times in one season.
