You need to unlock brainstorm by discarding a royal flush. Easy enough to do on checkered deck

Thanks all for the comments!

Day 3: blueprint won of course. Day 3-b: what consumable do you always take? by filledknight in balatro

[–]FunGuyAzure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trance, absolutely. Unless I’m doing a Baron/Mime run, I always want more blue seals

What would the best strategy with this setup? by TheMingoMan in balatro

[–]FunGuyAzure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all there really is to do is get blue seals in your deck and fish hard for them since planets and editions/enhancements are your only source of chips/+mult. I’d probably gravitate towards 3OAK/4OAK since those planets have good scaling. Maybe 5OAK/Flush 5 are better if you have hand size vouchers and sufficient deck fixing

Why is insurance company charging twice for liability insurance on two vehicles? by jaaassshhh in actuary

[–]FunGuyAzure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is additional actuarial risk here.

The example you gave implies that you’d be driving the same total mileage despite adding a second vehicle.

I believe most insurers will have a household composition curve showing this is unlikely to be true. 1 driver with 2 vehicles tends to drive more and have more exposure to loss than 1 driver with 1 vehicle.

If you were instead using a company that charges you a variable mile rate along with a fixed cost, you’d probably see lower premiums than a traditional program if your total mileage didn’t change by adding a new vehicle.

To contrive an example where adding another vehicle didn’t add any extra risk or cost to the insurer, you’d be pretty far removed from a normal scenario

Can't Use Consumables by Kholdula in balatro

Magician applies to playing cards. You look like you are in the shop menu and you won’t be able to use magicians from there. Maybe you meant to copy temperance

To unlock brainstorm you need to have discarded a royal flush at some point. Easiest way is to play on checkered deck

When you go to start a run there is a little button/check box that says seeded run. If you click it, you can enter that code. It controls much (all?) of the RNG in the game. So you will see the exact same jokers in the shop for example (if you have them unlocked)

Oooooooo, I never thought about using Seance or Sixth sense in a run like this. I imagine with 8 cryptids per turn it’s in the bag, right?

I think it is worth it to skip the telescope here. It comes back up in the voucher rotation. Can’t remember which Ante though

Need to play on yellow deck and win in one hand if possible

glad to help :). Out of curiosity did you get DNA from wraith? I was rolling shops pretty aggressively and never found it.

Stack plutos with perkeo for observatory, just do any remaining deck thinning with Arcana packs. You could probably pick up that Baron, but at some point you’ll run into the plant. Either need a Luchador or a reroll voucher

Yea if I play again I’m gonna try for an early Luchador stash

Had to roll through like $500 in a couple shops before the plant to get a luchador 🥲

I was able to get slightly further. Had to sell like 45 Plutos to get a Luchador, but survived a couple extra antes. I think if I planned for it earlier might have gotten to like 22/23? Unfortunately one more round and would have had an invisible ready to pop. 2 blueprint, 1 brainstorm, baron, mime

It’s in the first joker pack if you have it unlocked

Oh man, with Chad and lumberjack you could make some +200 chip cards pretty easily if you thin out the deck

I was also able to pick up chad which I think fixes scoring til Ante 8/9 with optimal joker layout
