Refusing to A-B test the chad photograph synergy even one time to see whether it scores more with the face card at the beginning or the end is why I watch

Give me the wrong camera place every time I can't handle more blackboard throws. The Type A in me is escaping the enclosure and dawg we're all outta tranquilizers
fun fact: the zodiac deck does not show less jokers in the shop, the overstock actually makes it so we see a little bit more jokers than average, even with the other vouchers
They should put a Balatro machine in arcades that's a token per run or smth and drops lil special cards that have random combos of enhancements, seals, and finishes. The line would be out the freakin door when all the people with loot goblin brains lock in on them
@@myspicyclips6402 the reason I whine is bc he chose endless and loss early. I don’t care about him winning the run I care about home making the right choices when he was so confidently wrong. So what is your point? To be contrarian ? To misinform people, bc what you did was literally misinformation. You said something just to prove me wrong in one instance but what you failed to realize is flush level 1 is always 4 mult (4*2+3)*2+3)*2+3)+12>18*2 so again what is your point? To show how wrong you are?
Not throwing shade, I just wonder sometimes how he doesn't notice the camera placement occasionally. Isn't he looking at OBS when he looks to the side when recording to make sure he didn't mute himself or stop recording by accident?
my man needs to put more respect on that spade-mult joker, adding all that mult before/at the same time as his steel cards, glass cards, multing-face cards, and more was a solid help
The glass placement KILLS me. Level 39 flush and you aren't playing your glass face cards first making them x2 x 2 3 times. Wayyyy better than the little +4 mults and the glass at the end.
If anything, you gotta admire the confidence in his voice. To say something that can convince people he know what he's doing, is a skill in and of itself lol
Why do Wheel of Fortune, Space Joker, Gros Michel etc seem to proc less often than their probability suggests? I'm sure it's a bias/frequency illusion, but has anyone ran the numbers (count attempts/successes) to see if it lines up with rolling a D4 or D6? I roll a 6 far more often than my Gros Michele breaks, but again, I have a bias tinting my glasses. Happens with Baldurs Gate as well, so I digress.
Glass facecard in the first slot was better but wouldn't have got you there. First card gets triggered three times, glass queen multiplies mult by 2 twice per trigger, total of 6 triggers. Adding in the +3 per trigger from wrathful. The glass queen in first slot gets you 2812 mult alone. In last slot the max you can get in current setup is 202 mult, and that is only if you hit all 4 lucky triggers. If you hit none, as you did, you get 102 mult. Xmult is always better if it gets retriggered, unless you're playing highcard or something where the multiplier begins at nothing and you havent leveled it up at all. It is only better to mult last if you have no way of otherwise multing your mult.
Great run, until endless, you just cant afford to take +24ish mult by putting glass face card at the end when you could get x64 your base mult having it our front
I know that he is going to make mistakes by playing too fast, I have excepted this as a part of the Balatro watching experience. I still can't believe that every single time he takes madness and is looking for eternal jokers, if he has 1 joker that is not eternal that is going to get yeeted - he never just sells that joker for a few $. He must know that madness is still going to "eat" anyway.
It was important to keep the other jokers so that madness didn't target Gross Michel. After that, selling might be the best move, but there's still something to be said about keeping the jokers for their value even if it's just one round. That was the smallest mistake he did this run, by far.
Its been months and months with balatro as the Main Game™ and the camera is still directly on top of all the most important information to how a run is going, this is why I watch Mr. Lion
optimal to use them until you run into a stake where you need the 2.25x mult considering they’re generated fairly easily with all the blue seals + discards. youtube comments will never be satisfied, i hope you enjoy choking this series to death
@@The1337guy1 just annoying seeing 3000 of the same comment about a misplay. there are other balatro channels to watch where it’s 40 minutes of micromanaging everything to be optimal. that isn’t NL and it never will be.
Brah, just move your cam so we can see your multi please. I watched you because you cared. Just move it to the right please. I can't watch not seeing the values.
Classic Balatro camera placement from Green Joker.

i like how the game's screen space is literally designed to have a spot for the camera on the right side middle

Nice run, all eternal!
But I thought the old lady threw Madness into the ocean in the end…
honestly he plays better when the camera is covering the score. i cant be mad
why is your head placed over the score

Not putting glass face cards in front with photo + chad is crazy
why does he call it "rothful joker"

Wtf is with the camera placement brother
