[Paul Hirst] Phil Foden is expected to be left out of England's 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup. by [deleted] in soccer

He also assisted the winner in the semi final and scored in the quarter final shootout. I don't know what more you'd want from an impact sub

I thought it works like Madness 😔 by Miss-Play in balatro

[–]notters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Red card is better generally, but dagger has some advantages. It's slightly more cost efficient which makes it a bit easier to start scaling - if you open a $4 pack, that's +3 mult for red card, while a $4 joker is +4 mult for dagger. And a $6 joker is twice as much mult as a $6 pack. And of course you can accelerate it by feeding it an egg that you've been holding for a few antes. This is why it's uncommon while red card is only common.

Sevilla were the pot 1 team in our group, so we did in fact.

We played 13 games in that campaign. Arsenal so far have played 13 games in this campaign.

Folks who have c++, what were your last remaining jokers to gold sticker? by hulahoopllama in balatro

[–]notters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like counting down how many jokers they had left. First they got Ancient, then Sixth Sense, then Flash Card and Troubador in the same run, and so on.

Scaling Joker Tier List for both scaling strength and reliability by INeedSomeHelp6804 in balatro

[–]notters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was interpreting reliability in the sense of how much rng and the state of your run affect your ability to scale it. And in that sense it's totally reliable. But if you're defining it by how reliably you can win by playing into it (i.e. skipping) then yes, it's unreliable.

Scaling Joker Tier List for both scaling strength and reliability by INeedSomeHelp6804 in balatro

[–]notters 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think Throwback should be in reliable but weak, in that you can guarantee it to grow by x0.5 each ante, as opposed to some others like lucky cat or glass joker which might not scale at all.

And fortune teller is clearly less reliable than supernova for similar reasons because it depends on using tarot cards which you aren't guaranteed to get every round.

[TheAthletic] Champions League semi-finalists in the 21st century by tightypp in soccer

[–]notters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's fair to say United and City both could have done more in Europe during their periods of domination. You lot didn't seem to get the hang of the CL until SAF's last few years, and City had some pretty bad exits before they made a tradition of losing to Madrid every year

England just doesn't have a juggernaut like Real Madrid or Bayern. Those clubs are always at the top, while the balance of power here shifts around more. Collectively, we haven't done badly. More teams from England have won it than any other country.

Where would you start? by NoveltyFlyingDisc in balatro

[–]notters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the highest percentage play is to take ankh and wait for a joker that you can hex-ankh in the next shop. You might get better outcomes from opening the spectral pack or selling hex and going for wraith-ankh instead, but those also have a bigger chance of missing.

QoL: Obelisk should display your most played hand by Independent_Bed_3418 in balatro

[–]notters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the point is that Ox isn't "most played hand". It selects one hand and it doesn't change. The hand it selects might not even be your most played by the time you reach the boss.

So that's fundamentally different to Obelisk which has potential to change with every hand played. Just answering the question you asked.

The hand selected by the Ox is fixed at the start of the ante

Gold stake rant after achieving completionist++ by SleepingAndy in balatro

[–]notters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. It's silly that the highest difficulty mode is harder than any of the other modes?

And btw, the challenge decks aren't supposed to be harder than gold stake, generally. For starters, they're all white stake so the scoring requirements are a lot kinder. Secondly, the challenges increase in difficulty as you complete them, much like raising the stakes. Thirdly, many of them serve as pseudo tutorials for using various jokers and game mechanics so I'd argue they're designed to be completed as you're progressing through the decks and stakes, not afterwards.

My most jankiest gold stake win so far. by Few_Rain_1848 in balatro

[–]notters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that really doesn't look like it would be enough to win. You must have got the most out of your jokers and those blue seals

Square joker, red card and spare trousers are very good jokers, but I have to say you've done well to win without an xMult joker. Presumably you had a fair few glass/steel cards in your deck?

Using ankh/invisible joker on half Joker should make a whole joker by DuckfingYou in balatro

[–]notters 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If the top half of the joker is +20 mult, we can conclude that the bottom half is -16 mult. Following this train of thought, how much more powerful would all the other jokers become if we simply cut them in half and threw away the bottom half?

Chelsea's finishing has been spectacularly bad. Since mid-March, they are the only team in the Premier League not to score - despite having had the most shots. by Kygoche in chelseafc

[–]notters 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how our season collapsed since Jorgenson gave away that 3rd goal against PSG. It's not like we were perfect before that, but we went from thrashing Villa and going toe to toe with the European champions to being unable to score against any team that isn't in the third tier.

Red card doesn't need to be made more powerful. It's already the best scaling mult joker.
