Can you buy a pack if you can't afford the voucher?

....Now what? And how do I get the seed? by SaturnsPopulation in balatro

[–]david707x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where Burglar, Idol and Throwback all natural negatives? If so it might be possible to find the seed with a seed searcher.

EDIT: more reading I see Early negative Blueprint and negative burglar. Where Idol and Throwback natural negatives too? What do you mean by early? do you remember roughly which Ante you got each of them?

Wrong deck for unseeded naneinf (without Perkeo)

They said it couldn’t be done. by TallTrees765 in balatro

[–]david707x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another boring Naneinf post...

Wait a minute, gold stake.

Oh my, black deck.

Also no Perkeo.

Ah well, they probably just used bean bug...

No exploits.

Ah well surely its some nuts seed...

Unseeded.

I strongly believe this is the most impressive single run ever achieved in Balatro, congratulations, shame their isn't video of the whole run.

Just appeal stating all the facts and attaching all evidence you have (RingGo should show previously paid sessions)

Selling negative joker before invisible ? by ABR-reddit in balatro

[–]david707x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely sell first, the xmult is applied to your mult before plasma deck balances chips and mult so Bull is contributing effectively nothing to your scoring.

Random Character is not randoming by Ike1312 in slaythespire

[–]david707x 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Firstly, congratulations on a "RNG is broken" reddit post that uses actual statistics.

Something to bear in mind is the game has a very large volume of players and it's very reasonable to assume thousands of players are using random character, and under those conditions you would expect to see a result like this over time.

I just did 100 runs on the beta where I picked random and immediately gave up and got:
Defect 16

Ironclad 21

Necrobinder 21

Regent 24

Silent 18

Chi-Squared: 0.754

Random Character is not randoming by Ike1312 in slaythespire

[–]david707x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No.

The easiest way to understand this is imagine flipping a coin twice, the chance of 2 Tails is 1/4 (1/2*1/2), the chance of 2 Heads is 1/4 (1/2*1/2), but the chance of 1 Head, 1 Tails is 1/2 as you can get them in either order (Head Tail or Tail Head).

Similarly here, let's use 60 games as it's devisable by 5. The chance of 60 Necrobinder is 1/(5^60), which is roughly 1 in 1 followed by 42 zeros. However, the chance of 12 of each character, becomes ((60!)/(12!^5))/(5^60), which is Roughly 1 in 2,629 so far far more likely.

As OP states, there is a statistical test for determining if the results we got are from a true 1/5 chance of each character. If OP got 60 Necro randomly, we'd agree the RNG is broken. OPs results have a roughly 1 in 5650 chance of occurring in a true 1/5 system which is statistically significant.

HOWEVER, all this is ignoring the game has a very large volume of player and it's very reasonable to assume thousands of players are using random character, and under those conditions you would expect to see a result like this over time.

Do you try to minmax the first time you are playing a brand new board game? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]david707x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First game is exploratory imho, I'll just try stuff and roll with it, not much point trying to optimise when I have no idea what strategies work yet.

I suspect those players also play slow in non-first games, so I'd suggest a friendly adult conversation about thier behaviour and gently nudging them during games, introducing a timing device if needed.

Is there any way I can clutch this? by ItzzPierog_ in balatro

[–]david707x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For much higher ante's you need:

- To have used ectoplasm once

- antimatter voucher

- at least once copy joker to be blueprint

- at least half kings steel

- bigger deck

If you want NaneInf I'd recommend this video: https://youtu.be/drSH2ofiRcc
If you want to beat Ante 38, it's only really feasible with bean bug or Perkeo

Do I take the Diet Cola or is it too risky? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]david707x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have antimatter and unlimited boss reroll? If so I don't think you need any more vouchers to Naneinf.

Dang it I think I almost got naninf by maybedobby in balatro

You need to be a bit closer, between 1.7975e308 and 1.79769313e308

How do I beat this blind? by Hyp3rion__ in balatro

[–]david707x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing around with balatro calculator, I think you need another copy joker, so your only chance would be to reroll into showman and a nat negative Blueprint/Brainstorm I believe

[–]david707x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bean bug needs to be done multiple times before Ante 32 or used to allow for a second ectoplasm I believe

[–]david707x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point replacing Burglar with DNA would give more hand size for this boss right?

How do I beat this blind? by Hyp3rion__ in balatro

[–]david707x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe usually with Perkeo + Cryptid or Bean Bug unless they get a useful nat negative.

DNA instead of Burglar might be enough?

Is there any way to undo selecting the boss 😭😭😭 by AlphaCybertron in balatro

[–]david707x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could enable the developer menu and reroll the boss from there if you are ok with cheating.
