1. Randomize the space station locations and procedurally generate their interiors. This would really really help with immersion.

I won the run anyway with this silly build because red is easy.

Re: balatro thread

I just used the spectral card that makes a random joker negative for -1 hand size and it hit Gros Michel.

It still blows my mind that there's that much variance in tooth enamel quality. If I tried that I would have no teeth.

One day I will consult on a spacewalk simulator and I will insist on players sitting in the airlock for 30 minutes before every mission.

Re: balatro thread

White is definitely too easy. I got through orange with blue deck and decided to branch out and unlock all the jokers before screwing around with gold and I can report that having to do white with everything is a snooze. Vote purple for the sweet spot, I don't find the very expensive boosters of ora...

I also learned that Triboulet became Rigoletto when Verdi adapted Hugo's Le roi s'amuse so there are actually 2 opera related legendary jokers. :gft:

Re: balatro thread

Non-obvious thing I just learned, if the Ox blind is set to pair, then playing 4 of a kind doesn't actually trigger it, it only sets your money to zero if you make exactly a pair. Anyone know if the final boss that disables jokers can disable Mr. Bones and kill you? I had the option to get Mr. Bones...

Re: balatro thread

The higher the stakes get in Balatro, the more unacceptable it gets that the game makes me calculate my hand score manually. The Twitter discourse is starting to convince me that it's a serious design flaw/dev fuck up.

That run, I shelled out $10 for Observatory then proceeded to never find a Saturn despite playing every blind and getting a free reroll every time. Still won easily. :shrug:

Does anyone know how ceremonial dagger works with the boss that shuffles your jokers? Does the sacrifice happen before or after the shuffle? I rerolled it because I was too scared to gamble.

I tried loyalty card at white stakes and what happened is it was impossible to avoid killing the big blind with its proc twice in a row so it was a brick for the boss.

in case anyone is unaware, if you have mr. bones on the last boss blind, and you lose, it counts as a win. had a run with a good opportunity to test it, and there you go.
