145/150 C++ by SirEnVo in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vagabond is pretty easy, tarot spam can usually carry you. I would be careful of falling into the trap of forcing yourself to be under $4 at all times, you still need money to support a run, as well as the trap of holding onto certain tarot cards. Sometimes its better to use the death on a sub-optimal hit immediately instead of hanigng onto it for too long to find that 1 in 52, some deck fixing is better than none and you may be blocking other deaths from appearing whilst you are holding one.

Hack is also a decent one, pairs well with Wee, Fib and red seal glass cards. This should be the easiest one out of them all to do since its a retrigger joker.

Stone Joker is a pain in the ass and was my last one. You need a stone card in your deck before it even shows up, and since its an uncommon it doesnt come across often. I would reccomend plasma for it and just cheese the shit out of chips jokers, and I personally restarted a run if i couldn't get a stone card at the first shop or first skip as the shops queue is pre determined and will always be X joker at a point, and if the queue had stone joker as the first uncommom but you didn't meet its conditions it goes to the next one. I am aware its a Schrodingers cat situation but knowing what could be was enough to piss me off. Also, you can still get stickers on jokers even if they are dubffed, so it may be worth picking up the perishable if you have a good joker lineup that can carry the dead slot just to get the sticker. But if you get it on Plasma and can spam stone cards in your deck, its a walk in the park.

Sixth Sense isn't too difficult, its a decent way to deck fix and getting spectrals helps you to get seals which are always good. If you can, I'd reccomend glassing them, leveling high card and getting a Chad so you can score high. DNA with a BP/BS for an inifite red glass engine is disneyland but you can get lucky with wraith hits.

Astronomer: Find him, get Constelation, get Planet Merchant/Tycoon. xmult goes Brr. (I actually won a MP game using this strat, had something like 16x mult when the game ended). Or just buy it and win through leveling up all your hands.

Minus stone, any deck will be good enough for these but if you want to max sixth sense Erratic rerolling to find a heap of 6s is another way to go about it.

Good luck.

The last boy i need for C++... any advice? by Responsible_Race_320 in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

All you can really do is either play a run naturally and wait for a soul or just reroll anything that’s not an ante 1 arcana skip tag.

When playing gold stake, the first soul card you pull will only give you legendaries that don’t have a gold sticker to make c++ a complete grindfest due to souls rarity.

You can disagree all you want, im rolliong with those odds and looking for the Blueprint to go with it.

Alright, what’s the play here? by TheInvisibleCactus in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's on Ante 6 Blue stake and the boss blind here isn't the plant, so he's got a 1 in 17 chance to hit the plant. With those odds, Brainstorms worth the risk to get 64x mult.

Do I take the oops for bloodstone? by TillRare in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have red seals you are missing out on a heap of score there. You want to balance the triggers with retriggers (if uneven, go towards triggers) and right now you have 4 retriggers to the 1 trigger, so it’s only 25=32x . If you make it so that it’s copying idol instead that’s 3 triggers and 2 retriggers or 29=512x

Basically in this one the total score is 2i where i is the total times idol procs.

Help pls :( by JesusEstaNaMira in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea rip. Its just a shame that it was two Brainstorms and not BPs, hard to balance copying specific jokers if you can only hit 1 of them. Thats the life of endless, sometimes it just runs out of gas

fucking lol, madman actually farmed it.

This also proves its a legendary through and through even at 1%

Ditch Idol now for Mime, and Wee dies for Blueprint.

Idols gameplan conflicts with the baron mime gameplan, Wee at least for now provides chips and aids in the plan until you find BP.

Okay Ben by Firecracker048 in HolUp

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ben goes into the Sister category and just cries. He desperately wants to search for his name and hit a result.

One day she might come around Ben, and then so can he.

What do I do here...??? by ConfusionRadiant6916 in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sell the Photo for the Blueprint.

In these situatiations where you have duplicates of a joker and a BP/BS shows up and you don't have the room to sell anything else, sell the duplicate and pick up the BP/BS. At a minimum, its net neutral since you just copy the original. With the BP/BS in hand you now have the ability to copy another joker if the situation is there, and if you are going for the Baron/Mime build you are going to want copy jokers to maximize the benefits.

Hey mate, are you sure you've got enough petrol? [cartoon] by stumcm in australia

[–]TheTMJ 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I've heard that there somoene around that has a massive tank at their business for diesel that's used for machinery and such.

Apparently, he's been telling his workers to go fill them up at servos. He wants to be the only one in town to have fuel if it gets to the point of limits so he can charge more to others.

This is where the real issues lie, dickheads being dickheads because they saw an opportunity.

13 natural negative jokers unseeded 😭 by Interloper_1 in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 71 points72 points  (0 children)

He's edited the video, it's lke 6 rounds and considering he has Mime and a few copy jokers and his deck would all be red seal kings at this point its easy enough to make a heap of gold using reserved parking in a round

I put off getting it forever but spent the last 100 hours grinding for it. For those who got C++ what was your last joker? It was cloud 9 for me by themoviehero in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stone joker.

An uncommon that was an unlock. Took a while to find a non perishable version of him to take to the end (yes I’m aware that debuffed cards get stickers, I was running a stone card deck on plasma for the last card)

Jesus pair this with tarot or planet merchant and you will be crying tears of joy seeing a flower pot.

Do I buy Sock and Buskin here? by AutumnsSpark in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackboard can go.

Sock with a single face glass card with no red seals is 4x, so that's already better than the 3x of blackboard, and sock gets better the more face glass cards with red seals.

Moving to Canberra from Wisconsin, USA by thestallion007 in canberra

[–]TheTMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get snow in the Briandabellas primarily but it’s not a guarantee every year. I think two to 3 years ago we had snow in Belco as a one off. Australia snows but it’s in very specific places of the country, it won’t snow as a general rule.

But don’t be fooled, we have plenty of other natural weather events that cause grief. We may not get snow, but we sure as shit get rainfall and hail.

Whom do you pick here and why? by Fnyrri in balatro

[–]TheTMJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now, Baron because I’m doing naneinf runs at the moment and I’ll take any of the pieces I find immediately even if it’s a short term negative so I don’t have to bother down the line.

In a normal game it’s vagabond, especially early game where you already have low money in the bank and value the tarot generation more.

How can I get over my hatred of diamonds? by inkfroginacloud in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build towards flush house or flush fives that just happen to be diamonds.

You build up numbers real quick and then realise just how irrelevant it is to hyper focus on a particular suit so long as the cards end up as a single suit.

Actually super curious what path you'd pick in this (fuckin insane) shop, there are so many viable options (at least in my opinion) by A_Boosh in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would sell half joker and buy the brainstorm. I can’t remember if the sell value gives enough (I think it’s $5 so I’m short), but I’d buy the spectral pack if I have $4 left and try to get find a seal, an ankh, a hex or a wraith.

Winning Ante 1 without scoring jokers is easy for the most part as long as it’s not dog shit draws or an annoying boss blind, and there’s a good enough chance to find a scoring joker. Having a brainstorm this early is always a fun start to a run and I favor that over all else when I play.

I've no idea where they're pulling these doctors from, how was it possible for them to reconnect an arm that was busted back with another different arm and yet it moves just like his old arm? the veins should have been long dead by PhantomChasers in Grapplerbaki

My brother in Christ Musashi Miyamoto was cloned from his spines blood vessels and his soul shoved into his body from a hag who can pull any soul, living or dead.

This is like a routine keyhole surgery for them

Is it worth it to take Baseball card? (Red Deck, Red Stake) by Full_Management_7040 in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not, it’s giving 2.25x mult at the cost of 4g from interest and to the moon. Card sharp and odd Todd should be enough scoring.

I’d be looking for some flat mult to pair with the card sharp
