My favorite NL Balatro-ism is playing two straights in ante 1 and saying “we are a straight build now”

[@NinjaBananaChannel]

That is how it feels tbh

Every drop of chili oil contains more atoms than there are stars in the universe. Edit: Gros Michel lasted 7 rounds, better than 86% of bananas, show me the code.

[@mononaut]

"better" is arguable, you usually WANT banana to die to unlock Cavendish. If it stays alive too long then you get into awkward situations where you are getting better jokers than +15 mult but not as good as x3. Then it starts feeling a lot like dead weight if it keeps on surviving.

To make it clear to everyone: In this context, e does NOT refer to euler’s number, like in math In this context, e just means exponent. So 1.913e11 = 1.913*10^11

yeah it's just scientific notation, 5e7 is 5 * 10^7

[@mihailmilev9909]

​@@incriptionlmao

[@FelixHelix]

You can easily find the real number score by taking the exponent times 10 (11) and moving the decimal that many spaces right, then fill in with zeroes. 1.913e11 = 1.913*10^11 but also 1.913e11 = 191,300,000,000 (one hundred ninety-one billion, three hundred million). I'm currently making a mod for Balatro that shows you real-number scores and scores in word form.

The clearance vouchers seem bugged because it states that items in the shop are discounted and discounted even further so why would your sell value decrease when your items are out of shop. Like if you buy a joker on sale then yes it sell value should reflect that price
