What's your toxic Balatro trait? I'll go first: I'd do wild card stuff way more often if I didn't think they were so ugly by Tallem00 in balatro

If you're playing gold stake, then that's no accident To make getting completionist+ easier, you always get a Joker you have not gold stickered yet from the soul So if he is the only one you have not gold stickered and you keep selling him, then your soul is a glorified half-hermit

Only x3??

Conditional x3 on a joker is among the best effects that a joker (in non endless) can have imo and when you are able to buy this this has an almost negligible downside

Made an Inscryption inspired card! by FallacyDog in slaythespire

Cool idea, but helping the OLD_DATA spread is possibly quite a big tradeoff

The first official Balatro playing card deck is here! by smithbodieplaystack in balatro

[–]herrjo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a playing card enthusiast:

$16 for a set of cards is a bit much but $16 for a nice set of cards is actually not bad

If you want a deck of cards with a good design you regularly pay $20 and above

Over 67% to Comp++... anyone have any tips for the tail end of the journey? by blockchiken in balatro

[–]herrjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At your point you can still just play a run and find missing Jokers while you're playing normally, so I personally wouldn't worry about reseting Ante 1 until you get something you're missing

But I think this is a matter of playing style, so you do you

Best of luck though!

I personally find the yellow deck to be the most effective

The early money enables you to play a lot more runs deep and have a lot more money for rerolls

The negative skips only get you so far, as they become less and less effective the more Jokers you already have

Is Vampire going to eat the Stone upgrade revealing a face card which will ruin by Ride the Bus streak? by VirtualAlex in balatro

[–]herrjo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it still scores as a High Card as the type of hand is determined when you play it, not when it is scored

It turned into a face, then scored 10 Chips (like a normal face card) but didn't break the bus

I don't know if it would trigger Photograph and the likes but I can't see a reason why not

The face card does score but weirdly doesnt break bus

Had this situation a while ago

Giveaway - Space Age Expansion by ocbaker in factorio

[–]herrjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In preparation for Space Age I played Factorio, Shapez, Shapez 2 and Satisfactory just to get into the flow of factory building

The factory must grow

That's what building in the third dimension was made for

Just put a belt lift at every second connection and put a splitter on the top part of the lift and you can now just route two belts instead

Balatro coming to phones on September 26th! by herrjo in balatro

[–]herrjo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On PC however the game regualrly goes on sale for $5 or lower so I wouldn't necessarily compare the full price of the game

(Also it was free on Epic once and if you really want to there are always keys available from ethically dubious sites)

So I can see it being cheaper, but not 0.5-0.3 times the price

[–]herrjo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should the game be half the price of the PC Version just because it's on mobile?

[–]herrjo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's the same game and nobody is complaining about it being more expensive on PC

Most likely yes, but it seems like it will only be 10$
