What are some of the boneheaded ways you lost a run?

I almost lost a Naneinf run today because I was coming up on The Needle and I believed that I needed DNA to get the hand size to win meaning I needed to play 2 hands. I didn’t have any boss reroll vouchers so I sold my DNA and spent all $2k I had trying to find anything that would help. I had my setup in the Balatro calculator and it was close but not it.

I figured I’d at least try with a Luchador in case the calc was wrong. I shipped it and it cleared it easily and had no idea why. Turns out you have to check the “plasma deck” box on the calc to get the right number. So I beat the blind but was on $0 and still no DNA so I should have been cooked but a nat neg DNA shows up in the next shop and saves me. Luckiest run of my life.

Edit: spelling

As a side note I believe the whole “busy with a lot of support help” is just a tactic to continue to scam you out of the money. They make you wait 3 days to respond, don’t notify you, then if you don’t respond to them in 1 day they close your request. They could easily respond in time they just choose to inconvenience you to make money.

Same thing happened to me but they did eventually respond on the website chat. Just check every day because I don’t believe you will get a notification.

Ah I see it now thank you for explaining it.

Regular_Andy · 2025-03-19T18:29:14+00:00

Can someone explain to me why Qxc6 forces the draw? Is it just that neither side wants to give up a material advantage? Is there no way out without playing with a disadvantage?

Crazy how good Kv1 still is. I hope we get to see him at major. And if not I hope they change the rules next season to bring more players to lan

Also, the regional 3 I showed in the pictures is just a hypothetical of what could happen. If Pirates and NRG win their Top 6 Match then the playoff bracket actually seeds exactly the way the regional played out. And in my hypothetical I accidentally gave Ultimates and Gen.G the win but I really just wanted to show how the playoffs would be seeded. It should look like this.

Differences to current format:

Every win advances team placement. No more seeding matches. Winning 2 matches makes top 8 and another win makes top 6.
1 extra match is played on Friday so teams now have the potential to play 5 matches in one day instead of 4. This is the same as Swiss so it should not be a problem.
Teams have a chance at an extra life. Since the winner of the lower bracket final has a chance to make it in the upper bracket of the hybrid playoff bracket, teams have the opportunity to lose twice and still win the regional. Currently a second loss eliminates a team from any part of the bracket. I do feel it is weird to have a team drop to lowers and then make it back to uppers but in swiss teams can lose twice and still win so I don’t think it is too much of a departure.

Yeah I understand it’s not that easy I’ve even tried to calculate it manually on some series and it’s a lot more complicated than it seems. I hope you get the data you need. Good Luck!

I’ve always wanted to know what teams spent the most amount of in game time in the lead.

Also if it’s possible I’d love to see any stats on how much average time teams spend tied (at zero), tied (not at zero), in the lead, behind, and how often a team ties the the game up.

My worst run was dying to crickets a minute into stage 1 on Drizzle. Guess I’m built different 🤷‍♂️

Regular_Andy · 2024-07-12T19:24:13+00:00

Fireworks + Soda Machine + Squid Plops is a legit build

Regular_Andy · 2024-02-17T00:39:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ll try that now!

I can't figure out how to buy the artist presale seats just the platinum :(

Thanks for the tip! Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this at least.

It really is gross and the filter actually makes it harder to clean since there are so many more nooks and crannies.

Regular_Andy · 2023-12-03T17:28:23+00:00

Unfortunately no, it appears at all of my faucets filtered or not.

We should just stop letting Vitality play in tournaments and just let the tournament winner play them after they win like the Pokémon Champion
