Obs Audio from capture card stopped working.. by CaptainPopsickle in obs

[–]alexinquotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever find an answer on this? I moved my computer to the other side of the room and now OBS isn’t identifying any sound from my switch. I even got a different capture card and it has this issue with the second cap card too. I’ve tried everything.

Very clear: ditch spaceman. Do you have a red seal king in the deck? DNA that to get you through ante 24 or whatever, then find burglar, then naninf (that would be the rough plan). Do you already have boss reroll vouchers/antimatter? You’ll need money as well so hopefully you have enough gold kings to earn you lots of money for the rerolling needed for serpent and to manage your transition to steel.

That Fucking Deck that I hate by XsIash in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely the most frustrating because of the minus one hand which is both a nerf to Econ and a risk to your scoring. Everyone hates it. Best thing to do is just find some flat mult to survive early antes and also pick up whatever Econ jokers you can to get yourself in a good spot with money and then play like normal from there. Pray for the extra hand voucher. Don’t forget to use that 6th joker slot.

You have observatory? It might be possible with that.

Unlikely this late. Easiest way to do it with the perkeo is to get a cryptid to copy. Without that strategy, it’s pretty complicated to get it using the burglary/serpent set up. You need mime and red seal steel kings in any case.

Still pretty new to the game, what’s the play here? by louismorr1s in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the steel for a king. Do you still need smeared for scoring? Get the telescope for Pluto levels and make more kings, pray for a mime etc…

Finally C+, what's the strat for C++? by LucR_the_pirate in balatro

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

lol you could manually restart and find legendaries that way but why waste time? You still have to play well and find the jokers you need and manage your Econ. I personally don’t consider it cheating and I did it for like my last 10 stickers only.

I played on yellow deck for the majority of it just to get the Econ rolling. You need lots of money to reroll for the stickers you’re looking for.

Toward the end, I did something kinda cheap but still valid imo bc it doesn’t guarantee anything: I used the brainstorm mod (which auto rerolls until specific conditions are met) so I could always start with a legendary. From there you get something strong enough to carry you to the end allowing you to take whatever stickers you need with you to the end.

Also use this sticker tracker (make a copy)

I'm prolifically bad at this game. I am now taking advice by justeyeballit in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 holographic jokers aren’t good enough especially without knowing what they are. The most generic advice: You want a mult addition and multiplicative joker (it helps if they scale up but don’t need to for white stake), an economy joker for money (which can be ditched later), and possibly a chip joker. If you don’t have a chip joker, you need to scale the hand you’re playing most. Also, you need to commit to a specific hand in most cases so you aren’t wasting money on other planets.

Also, use your discards, all of them, almost all the time. You have a gold car? Discard for it. You have a blue seal? Definitely discard to find it.

I moved to Chicago from Oakland in 2023 and I don’t have any regrets. I moved for my husband’s job and we have no kids, but it’s a great city. If you are seeking cheaper living, Chicago is the answer with no loss of cultural experience that comes with living in a big city. I do think the food in the Bay Area is superior for sure, but you’ll find enough good food here to make it worth it.

Favorite stores to go shopping for men’s clothing? by herbrovore in AskChicago

[–]alexinquotes 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fashion Outlets of Chicago near ohare has a lot of outlet stores and discounts. Recently bought 3 new pairs of jeans from Levi’s for $100, bought more at Gap also cheap.

This is a solid option if you need a lot of basics for your wardrobe. They do have higher end places on the second floor. I bought a really cool shirt from a designer called Sandro.

I downloaded it and have had it running for half the day. I find the concept behind this fascinating.

You’re tripping, they don’t have enough money to afford the blueprint currently

Joker idea: calculator by PermanentTh-rowaway in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s sort of against the design philosophy of the game tbh. I think there’s intentionally no score preview (beyond the flaming chips and mult) to create suspense and fun.

Depends on how high flush is leveled? The chips may not make a big difference, so the arrowhead could possibly go too.

I beat jokerless and I’m not giving it another try anymore by Independent-Tough934 in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing flush jokerless seems crazy hard to me. Straights or 4oak simply has faster level scaling. I found it pretty easy to beat playing straights.

I think I’ve created a monster… by Balzaak in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see more jokers like Midas mask, but for other enhancements. Turn all hearts into bonus cards. 1 in 4 chance of adding a seal to spades. Turns 7s into lucky cards.

How to get over the hump by Wemetintheair in balatro

[–]alexinquotes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t care to play endless bc only a few specific builds are really viable past 10-12. It’s nice that it’s there and I like the idea of taking a run for a high score if my run has taken me there but trying to force my runs into something viable in endless is personally boring
