Did we just discover the strongest joker (Balatro) 

Wikipedia says: "Smoke 'em if you got 'em is slang for "do what you want, if you have the means." The term originated in the trenches and foxholes of World War II, with the ranking person walking along the perimeters, telling the soldiers, in effect, "Nothing is likely to happen for a while. This might be the time for those of you who smoke to enjoy a cigarette"

"we could make a 5 of a kind flush in the right circumstances" he says, while in that exact circumstance and not doing it :-:

5:10 "I was just about to say: glass cards", he says, looking at 0 glass cards.

"Close to the end of the lifespan of the demo" Good thing the full game is out in 3 days

I'm so pegged for Balatro

9:35 that gamble was crazy, the 7 literaly puts you over bit a tiny bit

I think that for an overwhelming majority of the time, it's correct to buy the 1 dollar credit card if you have space for it, because it also sells for 1 dollar, but it also has additional upside.

Selling the suit tarot cards instead of using them on the same suit for more mult is tough

The power curve for this build was kinda crazy. I wanna see this thing on a chart

You can stack tarot's you dont want to use on cards there already applied to. Like diamonds on a diamond card or bonus on a bonus card

NL take credit card when he has Vagabond joker challenge (difficult: impossible)

" I have 4 diamonds and a heart I want to play , I know, let's make one of the diamonds wild "

Vagabond seems pretty nutty but also don't underestimate getting an early fortune teller guy joker alongside it

I'm a minute in and I'm already so proud of NL for not playing a flush and instead played a straight. He's come so far in these 30 hours of this demo.

That this game drops on Tuesday is really incrementing my trousers.

9:46 Me when I'm really getting into Seinen Manga but return to the work that got me into the genre.

I finally decided to check out the Balatro demo over the weekend. I now understand why this man defaults to flush builds. All of my builds just devolve into flush builds...

*Video Released 28 seconds ago* WOOOOOO

They way he uses the death card gives me anxiety

i swear to god, i will not play anything besides this on thursday

You gotta know when to Joel them Know when to freeze them Know when to plus 2 And know when to sleep You never count your pogs when you're sitting at the table there'll be time enough for pogging when the stream is done

Just 3 more days until I am addicted for life.

vagabond gotta make the most fun runs for me personally, such a great joker

Vagabond + fortune teller is ridiculous

I agree with you, I realized pretty early on in my 124 hours of this game that it's not all about the money. For one thing you can easily get 100 dollars out of thin air if you play wisely. If you spend a little bit extra into your build then your build is going to be that much better.

we should get a joker tierlist before the full game comes out

I keep telling myself to stop playing until release and then I find the game open and I'm playing another round

My trousers are growing when I see Balatro

Vagabond + credit card goes crazy tho

i managed to clone a polychrome hologram and get a blueprint joker and juiced them to give 5x mult. 3 jokers gave 5(1.5x5)² = 281 base mult multiplier. Got a 1.5 million chip hand My limbic system is not ready for when this shit drops Tuesday

I take psychic damage everytime NL sells a tarot

Missing the vampire card with this deck broke my heart.

I hope in the full version the hologram joker is retroactive, it would make sense since the one that scales with tarot is retroactive as well.

I was subbed to egg for years but then his cat went meow that was the final straw

I know he doesn't read these, but it still needs to be said: The Vagabond Joker is a perfect combo with the Credit Card as you can keep yourself in debt such that every hand you play will give a Tarot. If you can get that with the Tarot Joker (x1 Mult for each Tarot played) you're absolutely pogging, and if you have space for the gift card you can use it to sell your way out of debt when you want to pivot away from the Vagabond/Debt strats.

Cats have been known to meow from time to time

Why would you not buy credit card if you have vagabond? If you have negative money, you have less than $4, and you have more hands you can use vagabond for.

Nl is just going for a recreation of the vagabond card art with his 5 o clock shadow.

Yooo, NL is actually playing good? What is this, a multiverse of madness?

I been playing this for quite a while and I think they need to balance the joker that gives +1 mult for each hand played. It’s always just a win on the demo.

Would you be able to raise the audio levels by about 20%? Overall video volume, not just your voice or the game.

Vagabond playthroughs are very fun, though I still think the baseball guy is the best one

Ante 10 should just be called "Hafu" and you have to beat her score...

They nerfed popcorn. From -2 now to -4

this guy is milking the demo harder than he milked isaac and I am all for it

I feel like I spend half my time watching NL play balatro shaking my head

Hope he doesn't burn himself out on this game before release, would be a real shame.

Flush simulator pog

I believe, you to be the strongest joker actually, NL :)

I heard “maximizing the utility of your money correlates well with… women.” I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved that he actually said “winning”

He really bought the skip joker and refused to skip.

Putting 30 hours into the demo is a lot? (looks at 85 hours in his own library...) Less then an hour until release! So hyped.

Watching Nl sell tarot cards he could easily use hurts so bad, nice win tho pog

he REALLY loves vegabond

like, vagabond and the bank joker synergize together.. but it's not occurring to egg. Like, he's so short-circuiting on his own garbage heuristics..

NL 100yard stare

Yesterday I saw a guy make 500000 points with one two pair hand. NL has no idea what you can do in this game.

"Is Vagabond the strongest Joker?" No. It's good but any of the x mult Jokers are much better. Vagabond is only great with the other Tarot Joker.
