my first comment was about how wholesome it is to see him celebrating over 400 chips but now i am in the hospital with total organ failure from anger on him not knowing how to use the stone joker
@RGisOnline not even that, the creator, LocalThunk has put it in his *will* that casinos aren't allowed to profit off balatro! they can't use the IP, or use the mechanics!
i think he could just add some as like paid DLC, like more card skins. something that changes like diamonds into different shapes that function the exact same, just for fun

@@Vok250 like him doing bad choices by himself is totally reasonable, he's a new player and i'm not mad at him for that but the shit chat says sometimes is not good advice at all, and it's also WORSE because he could think chat knows what they're talking about when in reality they're telling him to play a full house over a hearts flush with lusty joker RIGHT after a sigil use
The only thing I personally got upset over was tossing out a purple seal extremely early, but it's not the end of the world, and someone's first literal game wouldn't know shit about that. And let's be honest, it's a 1 in 53 chance. The higher mult honestly was a good idea.

I missed the technical and chill energy of the Dwarf Fortress streams, so I'm glad Joey is getting a feel for that in Balatro. Definitely a new favorite
Chat is so fucking mean to joey, like CHILL GUYS, he literally has to learn poker FROM SCRATCH, yeah sometimes he's gonna miss stupid shit because he's new, hell I've been playing for like 50 hours and I've throw away a 4 of a kind by accident before, it's frustrating to watch but just, he doesn't need 100 people saying lmao are you fr he needs someone to be like "joey the cards values all have to match each other for the full house to count, sort the 3s the 6s and the Aces together to see it more clearly" But ofc it's the internet and chat is moving too fast for a response like that to be helpful so
Twitch chat honestly gives the worst advice possible. Joey had a top tier build going and only needed a few tips like always playing 5 cards to maximize his points and get free discards and skipping a few more boosters. Instead they were whining about the settings for two hours. And who was the idiot who said the red card was "insanely bad"? It easily could have won Joel the game if he kept pumping it. +9 multi per round if he didn't sell the rocketship. Joker order also doesn't matter for Joel's picks. The game already resolves them automatically. As evidence in the first entire hour of the stream. Just distracting and confusing poor Hoel.
You almost had a point until that last line where you also became the chatters you're complaining about. Joker order matters. You always want to put Flat Multi before X Multi to maximize how much mult is being multiplied (mult-ception, if you will) and some Jokers require being ordered correctly to get the most out of them such as Blueprint before a Hanging Chad
@naransolongoboldbayer8030 even Jokers that provide effects as well, like Midas Mask and Vampire require being in the optimal place to get anything out of them. OP became what he complained about 😂
Aaaaayyyyy, very glad to see that you got into Balatro! :D Was nice to see you learning the game's ins and outs and your reactions as you started making better and better hands was fuuuuun~ Congrats on winning a run too! (Also I get the concern, but don't be too hard on yourself with getting used to poker hands and some of the game's mechanics in general ^^;)

Absolute mad lad.
I didn't know what was going on when Vinny started playing it - but since i started playing, I finally understand all the mistakes.
this stream is bad for my blood pressure, I hope this game gets 20 streams, I want to see him get good
Joel going from 'this shitty game was nominated for GOTY?' to begging for it to be hooked to his veins is the standard experience with Balatro
It's like the age-old saying goes. Vinnies are from Pluto, Joels are from Jupiter.
Mike is from Uranus
Joel is from Uranus, home of fecalfunny
Never too late to pivot to heart flush
I love that Joel started with the flush all the way until he actually got great combo that insanely synergizes with heart only flush and he's sitting there like "hmm I will go for two pairs".

This is one of those games where Joey is doing fine and like 80% of chat needs to just stfu 💔
Jeez the chat is atrocious in this vod omg
Agree, but Joel kinda brought it upon himself by asking them to backseat at the start.

Thank god the creator made sure there would be no microtransactions
Yeah imagine if Konami published this
Lmao, there IS a mod for it, it's just not publicized
The creator easily could have made millions, but decided not too. What a chad, glad to see he made the game for fun and not money

The *FLUSHER*
I love this guy is randomly good at somethings for no reason at all.
gotta love jobel giving explicit permission for chat to backseat game
Chat is so horrendous in this, whining about the game speed and criticizing his every move.
Inviting chat to backseat was a mistake (shocking, I know)
I love Joel feels the need to justify to chat doing heart flushes like they are bad while his build specifically does those best.
When Balatro multiplayer is inevitably implemented we can finally have our Greatest Supervillain Battle of the Century:
Greedy Grinner vs The Flusher
Joel's hyper-Pareidolia stack was absolutely incredible, wow.
Joel is too much of a gambler to be able to stop
INSANE face card build seed. what
it hurt me so much when he skipped buying the hermit card and didnt double his money :(

16 mins in and people already start complaining about game speed lmfao
The flusher strikes again!
I've seen it in-game before, but the foiled red card is so pretty holy shit
We're flushing the toilet with this next hand
Backseating on white stake is especially odd to do.
Not just back seating, but backseating terribly getting Joey to do fucking full houses over heart flushes is insane to me lol

Yes. Yes it does. The game literally tells you it's left to right triggering. So +chips, +mult then xmult
You almost had a point until that last line where you also became the chatters you're complaining about.
