NL telling a chatter with Blueprint Bloodstone to a get a flat mult joker, the tables have turned when it comes to bad backseating advice

Taking the extra stone card from the standard pack is unhinged. Is 30 stones not enough, you need 31?!

You can't just get whatever joker you want. You gotta earn it. You gotta play a hand so good, you end up with your favorite vowel in the score, just to be gifted another marble joker in the store.

[@n00dle_king]

@@Commando23414221998 and I hope they never stop.

[@Swagmasster]

Asking this earnestly, how was it hurting him? Is it just because it doesn't benefit a high card/pair build and holds a joker space for something more useful, or is there some tech around big hands that I'm not aware of?

Skipping erosion +10 mult while not being even active without any actual jokers was 300 iq move

[@big_oo]

other streamers: "i'm taking a risk" NL: "I'm on the razors edge AND IM REIGNING IT IN"

[@Paradoxikality]

Skipping the second to last blind to see a pool of only 4 jokers when you have enough money for rerolls to see more than 4, into selling the red card and then skipping the pack. Holy brsh what a play.

[@Adam-fx3qg]

Then saying pls kill ballot, ballot survives and then he forgets to put the mult 10 as the first card 🤣

I'm glad I happened to watch the librarian video where they included the "You want some water? Well we don't have any fucking water." video because the jokes made with it are so damn good

ngl the only reason I won my medusa run was the stone joker that gives chips for stones in your full deck, I was rocking something like 450 chips and then like, card sharp or something. I think my prevailing hand was three of a kind

The madness of trying to play around "madness" was quality content Hot take "Blindness" is a better name for that joker so im not even annoyed that hes saying it wrong

[@Ryan38475]

NL chat was all about giving red card at least this +3 mult, thats multiplied by 10 times by madness so u can live easily, adding one additional card to the deck doesnt change much if u have 90 cards

[@DarkVivec]

idk that you dont do the right plays just make your kids life fun as hell and you're good

[@Ztaticify]

...isn't the whole point of supernova to play the same hand everytime? Why consciously try to do more than one?

[@Malao558]

Red Card is maybe the worst joker in the game, or at least the worst scoring joker. You’ve gotta invest like 8 bucks minimum _after_ you acquire the thing to make it better than a Jimbo you get for a dollar.
