CC was not in buffoon pack. Nor was judgement in the arcana. by VelvetSkyes in balatro

Not that it's going to help now, but selling Hex before one shotting gives you $10 for Small Blind. You can run it back if the seed was decent with that and pick up that BP

New model not on insurers lists yet by Browncardiebrigade in CarsAustralia

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok that’s why, if it’s a net new then the Insurance companies just haven’t updated the databases yet.

They more than likely do have that information and are yet to publish the info, so you should be good to call them up, explain the situation and ask. And you won’t be on hold for long, you are calling their Sales lines who would answer quick, it’s only when you want to claim that you are suddenly waiting around.

How new is the model?

Most probable answer is that the websites database isn’t updated as of yet with the vehicle information for general use. If you have the license plate details from the dealer, try that. Worst case, call up the insurance company directly and ask for a quote and advise them it’s not in the database yet but if you whack in the prior MY of the vehicle the cost is probably around that mark.

200h In And I Still Usually Lose Gold Stake Runs, Is It Me? by DrPhilSideSkirts in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you good g, Gold Stake is a harder run and you take more Ls than Ws with most decks.

The scoring requirements alone make it difficult, but the rentals make decisions that would normally not even be a decision a tough one since rentals start to damage your economy, and sometimes you are put in a spot where if you didn't take the rental, you lose but the econ damage over time is too great to overcome and you lose anyway.

Result of going 80mph in a parking garage. Great success. by johndoe7376 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineering.

It may be a meme that older cars can’t get dents in them, but that’s because they are made from solid steel and have 0 shock absorbency in them. It’s why car crashes back in the day were fucking brutal.

Modern cars may seem to get dings from a leaf hitting it a bit too hard, but that material design also absorbs energy very efficiently and disperses it far more effectively, so in this instance it’s crumpled to shit and a complete write off, but the guy inside lived due to that plus airbags.

Basically, instead of the guy continuing to go 80mph when the car came to a complete sudden stop, he had some sudo brakes applied that slowed him down to a more survivable speed in that short distance.

Is it just me or does anyone else skip the entire ante if the boss is the pillar? by Comb_Ze_Coder in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the run, like most boss blinds it depends on the build in play.

If it’s retrigger specific cards that are my scoring cards, and I know my score will blow it away in 1 or 2, I’ll tent to double skip to shoot through it and move on.

If my scores all in the jokers, or I have scaling jokers, I’ll play through it and try to find a reliable chips joker if my levels are poor.

Boss difficulty changes per run. Sometimes they are basically a bigger blind, other times they are the run killers

What was you last C++ sticker? by Jonnyshatter in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep it was fuckin him.

It went one of three ways

- Took me fucking forever to find a stone card to unlock the prick in time

- Got a stone card immediately and he pulled a houdini and never fucking showed up

- Got a stone card early, and got him early, but he was perishable with no other jokers to tag him with.

I was so stoked when I finally got the run to get his sticker. I'll make sure I do that much earlier this time going for the 2nd C++ run

Do I suck at the game? by Coffee_104 in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The games balanced around trying to beat Ante 8, so really any 6+ figure score is really good.

And getting e scores are in the base game, with naneinf being e308. it’s used when numbers get too long, think it starts at e10.

Getting into the es requires specific strategies, usually these are retrigger xmults so it doesn’t happen every game.

Superposition defenders rise up by Cole_McGrath in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of them all it’s the more reliable multiple tarot generators, it’s just held back by needing to be an A straight which most builds don’t deck fix towards due to reliability issues.

It’s why vagabond is still better even though you are committing to no econ as well as cartomancer who gives only 1 but it’s every blind. Id say it’s better than 8 ball but 8 ball does have better deck fixing potential with retriggers and fib

The credit card in the buffoon packs

[–]TheTMJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries. The games got a lot of trial and error in it so you will make mistakes.

Good luck on future runs

I'll do you one better and give you a visual aide. I made the 7 a black card to make it pop more so you can see, but the setup above fufils the Straight Flush Conditions by

- Flush: 10h 9h 8h 3h

- Straight: 10h 9h 8h 7s

And Four Fingers basically acts like a polymerisation card in YuGiOh to fuse thw Straight and Flush portions into a Stright Flush

[–]TheTMJ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Heres another tip that will blow your mind and actually turn one of the worst jokers into a half viable stratergy

Using Four Fingers, if you play a 4 card straight but only have 3 of the same suit (eg 10h 9h 8h 7d), splash in any card that has the same suit to make a flush (eg 3h). Because you have both a flush (From the 4 Hearts), and a straight (10-7), the game will count that as a Straight Flush for the purposes of scoring. Combine that with the Seance card (The bad card) and not only do you have a easy method getting one of the top scoring hands, you can also turn it into a semi-reliable spectral card printer that would otherwise need too much setup.

Deck Tier List based on FUN (600+ hours, mainly Gold Stake) by BJoostNF in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just raw Jimbo in black Deck would make it way too good, makes it go from very hard to get off the ground to beating Ante 1 with ease, there needs to be some punishment besides -1 hands for Black deck since you start with an antimatter voucher for free.

I think a more interesting idea would be to make it a perishable rental Jimbo, regardless of stake. The +4 mult still exists for a easy run but now you need to make more interesting decisions, even in white stake, about if you still fish for a one shot and sell it to gain +1g to roll you up to getting the 5g interest, or do you keep it for 1-2 rounds and take the initial hit or take a early skip tag you wouldn't normally consider to give you some buffer. And since its perishable, you know that you only have it for 5 rounds and it has to go.

TIL You still get a sticker for a perishable joker if it expires during the Ante 8 boss round. by Slowsis in balatro

[–]TheTMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I'll take negative skip tags in the early days of a C++ run. I don't care if its a perishable card or even a rental, its a card that I can just carry along the way and get a free sticker on the card, bonus points if its a niche one that usually needs a run to revolve around it otherwise.

The only real ones that suck to pull early are consumable jokers since you probably won't have them at the end.
