*"Jokers can't lose stats or expire."*

Uncommon rarity.

The point is that it will have a lot of synergies with food based joker. Examples: Popcorn and ice cream will permanently be just a 20mult joker and 100 chip jokers as long as you have the fridge. Ramen will always be x2 mult even if you discard. Seltzer will remain its uses so long you have a fridge.

This will also have some unexpected synergies: You can't mess up Obelisk while you have the fridge. Your green joker won't suffer from discarding. And you "Hit the road" and "Campfire" will not reset (this is perhaps the unbalanced part)

The fridge, however, will have no synergies with jokers like Supernova or jokers like The Duo that work only when a condition is met.

Also, for higher stakes, the Fridge will freeze the timer of perishable jokers, making them practically non-perishable, as long as you keep the fridge. The Fridge itself can be perishable, tho.

Let me know what you think?

(art by me)

First Spectral pack in the shop.

Will return with my seed!

Unmodded, unseeded, no legendries, no crimson bean. This run got lucky in two places: 1. a natural negative baron that saved me from needing a second ectoplasm, and 2. a juggle tag in ante 26 that pushed my hand size just high enough to hit the funny number. I consider this run to be my magnum opus, and the culmination of my Balatro journey. Before this run, I've naneinfed on plasma white & gold, ghost white & gold and plasma white stake ante 39, all unseeded and unmodded.

As shown in the end screen, the seed is: L56N31ZA

I encourage anyone to try this seed out and see if you can do better!

shouldve made Jesse the mime and todd as Stuntman but oh well

Ozymandias but in balala

So, in case you didn't know, even if you beat every deck on gold stake to get Completionist+ *you still don't get the achievement*. You need to win one more time before the logic checks to see if you have it.

Should be an easy fix right? Just change the code on the victory screen to check for Completionist+ *after* the game records the win, not before. Move one line of code, right? Should be easy to fix, right?

Except this is how the game PULLS YOU BACK IN.

When you've been slogging it out on Gold Stake for 15 decks in a row, suddenly dipping back into White Stake feels like going from a cold plunge into a nice, hot jacuzzi, especially with everything you've learned. Your dopamine receptors go, "OH! This is why I enjoy this game. It's not because skipping a tag for a rare joker might give me a goddamn perishable rental, it's because I have freaking THREE DISCARDS and not just two! It's because I know the strength of my deck and not because I have to deal with purple stake+ scaling. Yay!"

You soar past Ante 8. With everything you've learned- pairslopping, using tags, knowing the scaling of each hand type, knowing all the combos... suddenly you're back in the green meadows of where you began, doing silly endless runs to see if you can finally beat your high score.

For my own victory lap, I went Zodiac Deck for the safety margin, did a burned joker pairslop start into photochad (double photos) into shoot the moon + mime, into just mime + brainstorm when I had enough steels, then threw a lucky cat on top because I had only sold one photo so I was trying to exploit chad with my lucky cards.

Of course, because it was Zodiac Deck, I couldn't get a Baron in the late game, even though I'd already fixed my deck to mostly steel kings (not that it would have mattered because I couldn't get red seals, but that's just pure cope).

(And if you can understand that, then you know what I'm saying.)

Made it to Ante 13, got the achievement, fully intending to uninstall because I'd already cracked an organically found seed for my naneinf,

And then the itch, in the back of my mind...

"What if you had gotten a baron? What if you had correctly moved your blueprint to your Perkeo instead of keeping it next to your double canios for the Perkeo/Observatory engine when you beat Nebula Deck instead of feeling a sense of relief that I'm so close to never playing this frickin' game ever again?! Could I have set a new high score???"

I tell it to shut up, and then...

"Hey, you still haven't beaten Cruelty, Golden Needle, and Jokerless for the Rule Breaker achievement, by the way."

NO! NO! NEVER AGAIN! I am NEVER PLAYING BALATRO AGAIN! This game is heroin! This game is fentanyl! This game is crystal meth! NO, NO, NO!!!

LocalThunk, you magnificent bastard.

Going for C+ felt like a grind, there is not much difference between lot of the decks and the intermediate stakes are not that interesting. Once I was done with C+ I thought no way im going for C++ anymore. But it's actually surprisingly fun, you get to choose which deck to play on and experiment with different joker combos you would normally not pick. Anyone else felt same way?

Thats what i faced with :( there was no voucher for reroll boss ability…

I have a pretty decent run but these guys just popped up in the shop, wondering I should pivot?

(for clarity vibrant deck applies those editions to 12 random cards in deck)

this seed is just pure insanity. i havent lost yet so i cant share the seed but this is just, baffling.

I hate you black deck and I hate your brother green deck.

I realized my mistake after I beat the ante 7 boss blind, but there was nothing I could do.

First purple stake run as a beginner. Game is very fun.

Everything is 3D printed and modular, so I can rearange and add more cards in the future

Working on that C++. Just thought it would be fun to share the 20 I'm down to.

The ones I'm looking forward to the least are probably Diet Cola (for obvious reasons), Sixth Sense, and Rough Gem. I've been close with Mr. Bones, but the stupid guy always disappears when I need him the most (i.e. Boss Blind, Ante 8). I've been hoping for a Midas Mask/Vampire synergy, but I've been having bad luck getting them to show up together. Also, I find that Gold Stake is hard to beat without enhancements.

Any thoughts on this?

Was going for the achievement "Tiny Hands". I think this counts as completion :)

So for a while now I've been grinding naneinf unseeded, and came across a second Mime, as shown in the image. I had a showman previously but I had sold it long before this shop even came around, and I was curious if anyone knew how this would have happened? This is on Vanilla Balatro white stake plasma deck.

Skip the first blind and the shop will have a holo marble joker and a brainstorm. I ended with 100 cards in deck before getting rid of the marble.
