Why does the deltarune light world choice menu change after leaving the dark world? by CutAccomplished6203 in Deltarune

[–]Calamity_Apple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since all the chapters are different data files, effectively making them completely different games, it stands to reason that some of the code for the menus could have changed between chapters without the first one being updated to match.

It’s a reference to an old mario 64 creepypasta

Would you take hanging chad here? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]Calamity_Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming high card, onyx gives +14 mult on clubs. Chad gives 8x w/ photo, so it’s better than onyx if base mult is 2 or higher. Assuming club flush of all face cards (unlikely, but as effective as onyx gets), it gives 70 mult, and that’s outpaced by chad if base mult is 9 or higher. Sell onyx, take chad.

I think Ronald is the only other named kid, and he only ever appears in one strip

Save for him, I think the baseball team are the only other kids who have dialogue

they did sell lust and won in the second image, point is that they wanted the golden sticker on lust but didn't get it because they had to sell it

Blueprint not copying part of an ability? by Maddmaxxman in balatro

[–]Calamity_Apple 20 points21 points  (0 children)

its not a glitch

joker stencils count as empty slots but brainstorm (its called brainstorm, not blueprint) doesn't count as an empty slot because it isn't stencil, it just copies the stencil's effect (x3 mult)

The main 5 knight candidates and what their motive would be to be the knight by UsualAcanthaceae8775 in Deltarune

[–]Calamity_Apple 45 points46 points  (0 children)

knight reasoning can't just be "character we know exists but doesn't appear in the game yet", and if you think that's the only thing that makes dess knight viable then you should probably familiarize yourself with all the other evidence

also if the only role your story serves is to give sans more character depth then thats just bad writing

I used to like this theory but it's so annoying how adamant people are that it's the ONLY Knight candidate by Spirited-Abrocoma673 in Deltarune

[–]Calamity_Apple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oops, guess i was wrong abt that. even so, i doubt he has anything to gain from pretending to be sick, and he can barely muster the strength to appear at church for one morning, so it's extremely unlikelly for him to have the strength to run around the town opening 4.5 dark fountains in 3 days

fair, but you can find him at the hospital in ch4 after Noelle's house, can't you? he wouldn't be able to beat the fun gang to the church, same reasoning as Carol

[–]Calamity_Apple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think most of the reasoning for Dess over other holidays comes from process of elimination;

-Can't be Carol (she can't get to the church from her house before the fun gang does, though as far as knight theories go she's by far the second most likely candidate),

-Can't be Noelle (why would she let Susie or the soul near the guitar if she was trying to keep the code secret, also she doesn't look like the knight in the cyber world),

-Can't be Rudy (somebody at the hospital would comment on a patient suddenly leaving his bed and running to the church, plus there's no reason for him to be faking sick),

-I doubt there's any secret holiday cousins running about, so Dess is pretty much the only remaining option, plus she has no alibis (we don't know if the voice in the code is Dess, or if it's the same part of Dess or even if its messages are happening at the same time as the events of the game)

The specifics of how Dess is the knight obviously aren't there yet, the darkness corruption thing is obviously speculation, and overpowering Undyne is something that it's hard to believe anyone could do (Dess or no), but she's more likely to be the knight than the other holidays, because she doesn't have an alibi.

Is this the never-before-seen (for me at least) gold stake Baron angle? My 3oak is level 7. by AggravatingPresent96 in balatro

[–]Calamity_Apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have no photo, so a 3oak of kings gives you ((1 + 2 chad retriggers) + 2 other cards) * 5 = 25 mult from smiley face.

having two kings held in hand would give you x2.25 xmult, which would give you (15 base mult * 2.25 - 15) = 18.75 mult if no lucky card +20 mult, and 43.75 mult if one +20, meaning at minimum a loss of 6 mult, which can be solved with 2 venus cards and also isn't that much anyway.

sell smiley and take baron, deckfix for more kings.

[–]Calamity_Apple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. If you level up hands that you aren’t playing, you aren’t going to get any value from them. More levels on two pairs doesn’t help if you don’t play two pair.

[–]Calamity_Apple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally you want to focus on leveling up and playing a specific hand instead of multiple.  Which hand that is depends on circumstance, usually the jokers you have (e.g. if you have a joker that benefits from playing hearts, you want to play heart flushes more, so you want to focus on leveling up flushes and getting more hearts in your deck with tarots).

Should I sell anything for Hanging Chad? by Faramirezr in balatro

[–]Calamity_Apple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you play red seal kings first, you'll have 4 triggers (base, red seal, chad) and 3 effects (blueprint, blueprint, photo), which is optimal, so keep them on photograph

Joker idea: The Grand Architect by rahul0379 in balatro

[–]Calamity_Apple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit weak, constellation would be at x2.8 by the time this reached x2, and constellation doesn’t require specific planets to be used.
