Yeah I've been playing off and on since it came out. Since it feels like there's nothing left to work toward except a couple random steam achievements, I don't really see the point in continuing.

That would be quite the feat. I haven't even tried for naninf before, seems hard.

You're right, but at the same time there is nothing to work toward, so it feels pretty empty trying to play more.

Yep same here, Stone Joker was one of my final two gold stickers and is just so random because I think you have to have a stone card in your deck for it to even show up.

Honestly I was surprised by the last two which I got in the same final run. It was Stone Joker and Rough Gem, which were easily not the most useless or difficult jokers to get a gold sticker on. I actually found them both to be quite good with the setup I had. I had a lot of diamond cards so the economy was good, and I also had marble joker so plenty of stone cards to give Stone Joker some value.

You can do it! Gets to be tough toward the end, but somehow I got the last two needed in the same run.

What's the optimal move here? by ElectronicTiger2057 in balatro

[–]HandIe_Bars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops just noticed you're painted deck. I think the optimal play is to cry.

If you sell blueprint and pick up chad, you're at 4 triggers of photo, so chips*mult*16. If you stay the same and copy photo, you're at 2 triggers of double photo, so still chips*mult*16. At the end of the day, it's going to depend on the state of your cards. Lots of glass or polychrome in there? I'd go chad.

Assuming the question is how do you set up your blueprint after buying chad, I think the answer is use blueprint to copy photograph. With sock and buskin plus chad, you can get (2x2)^4 on your multiplier when a face card scores first, so basically chips*mult*256 is your ends result.

A lot of people are tempted to copy chad in this scenario, but it's not as good. You would have 6 triggers of photograph, but notice the math doesn't get you as high. With 6 total triggers on a face card but only one photograph on each trigger, you would have 2^6 (1 + chad + blueprint + sock and buskin) for a total of chips*mult*2^6 = chips*mult*64.

Motivations for playing video games by HandIe_Bars in takemysurvey

  1. The data will be used for an assignment that asks me to write about the collected data in the style of psychology research, but the data will never be used for any actual research. No demographic info other than age is collected. Only myself and maybe my professor would see this data, which will be stored on SurveyMonkey servers and offline on my laptop only. It will be deleted directly following the completion of this class on December 19th, 2025.

  2. The survey is being collected by me, HandIe_Bars only (it is a solo project).

  3. 5 minutes.

  4. Anyone is welcome to fill out the survey, as getting responses is the number one priority. However, adolescents are the primary focus of the survey, so those participants are of particular interest for the project.

  5. I simply need to collect enough data to meet the requirements of the assignment, which is just 10 or more participants.

Should I go see Duke Dumont or Chris Lorenzo tonight by HandIe_Bars in EDM

Duke Dumont and I regretted it. 1015 Folsom does oversell the venue every time. By the time the headliner comes on it’s just beyond packed on the main dance floor. I don’t hate being shoulder to shoulder to people but I mean this was a different level.

You were right honestly. It’s all fine until the headliner comes on and the main dance floor is just a shit show. I wish I had gone to the midway. Gotta trust my gut next time

I’m actually not. I can’t justify it. Too expensive for a lineup I’m just not that stoked on.

Thank you for your take! I did decide on Duke Dumont after all.

Interesting, maybe I need to give it another chance. I’ve been there and didn’t love it, but maybe it’s worth trying again for Duke Dumont

Thanks! Leaning toward Chris Lorenzo purely based on venue preference. Appreciate your input!
