Final hand analysis: Before selling the math was (44 + 50 + 50) x (70 x 2^2), after selling, it became (44 + 50) x (36 x 3^2). Selling the joker changed the outcome from 40320 to 30456 for the hand. Without selling, the final score would have been 179,372, which would have been heartbreaking honestly but Ryan had no way to win.

i've heard of mr northernlion before but balatro is what made me start watching him. i am obsessed with how this man talks like a chronically online 15 year old. in the first video i watched of his, this man gets a vampire card and says, "me when i'm olivia rodrigo". i was truly baffled for about 10 minutes. i am still thinking about it.
daily balatro routine. play gold steak for 4 hours -> lose -> watch egg play balatro -> get annoyed that he isn't playing optimally -> go back to losing on gold steak despite playing "optimally" -> repeat
Boy they're making these videos harder to watch lol. God that shit gets so old so fast, he's constantly stopping to correct people. And it doesn't help that every other backseat attempt is just outright not correct at all, people just say things they think is true without a second thought
@@prototype7696I wish he would just have his mods moderate the back seating. After a week of consistently timing out backseaters it would slow down so much.

As an actor who studied Shakespeare a bit and had the chance to actually play Macbeth (in theatre) I'm pretty sure the "No man of women born" isn't specically because of the C-section but because his mom died which is why they had to do the C-section in the first place which meant he was born by a corpse.
to play devil's advocate, Macduff does say "Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped..." in the final confrontation. not to be a Shakespeare Andy
Negative obelisk would’ve been so cool. It’s pretty much the ideal situation for it, where you’ve played a ton of a hand type (2 pair) without investing anything into it, so there’s basically no cost to pivoting. And it’s negative so even if he didn’t pivot immediately it’d be fine.
Yea, I'm pretty sure the whole point of those prophecies was semantics. The witches never lied but also they're not supposed to be trustworthy. They give Macbeth enough info to make him overconfident and thus their prophecies come true.
I have an intense distrust of all the mad max water style jokers. The consumable/food ones in particular, I think "I don't want ice cream or popcorn to get me out of ante 4 and then not have the staying power needed by ante 6, just end my run right now with honor". Ramen gets a slight pass on this since the amount I consume of it is my own fault
Popcorn bean and banana all let you trade a temporary buff for econ. You take them and send it on two antes then use the money you’ve saved to stabilise. It’s strange how similar this game plays to TFT and other auto battlers
Type A Andys literally frothing at the mouth to point out his mistakes so hard that they see his legit good plays (fishing for a hand that can end the round in one hand for extra econ) as misplays.
32:49 little price analysis here, he chose not to skip so he could get money. He ended up getting 10$. Had he skipped the reroll would have been free. Seeing that he spent 11$ on 2 rerolls he would have ended up in the exact same spot skip or no skip. As the lost 10$ from the round plus 1$ for 2 rerolls would have canceled.
I really enjit the stuff NL talks about, the thing about early 2000s tv is real. When I was 3 in 2006, I remember watching tv on my 36 inch 480p tv, the kind that was in a wooden cabinet with all of the different buttons and knobs and I would be able to spot small detail just fine, but now if anything is below 1080p it really bothers me.
When this mf realizes he can take jokers he doesnt want from the buffoon packs and then sell them for cash money his runs will ascend to a level beyond our comprehension
My joker arc moment watching this vid was when NL skipped picking up the negative obelisk followed by buying a pack and not selecting a free joker when he could have easily just bought and sold. Egg then immediately lost. I have become what I hate a type A chatter completely molded by NL’s folly and Mama Liz’s chili oil
Because this run was depending on buying Rerolls to add more to his Chips and Mult every played hand (regardless of the type of Poker Hand), and so he didn't want to spend money on anything else. He didn't need the space cards because the jokers were adding just as much if not more than the Planet cards would have anyway
I don't know if this has been said, and I hope Mr. NL Eggman sees this, but negative jokers do not remove multiplicative mult from Stencil. Since they do not add to the total count of what you have, if you take Obelisk when it shows up, you keep the x3 mult on top of having Obelisk. I know it wasn't really effective when you found it, but wanted to share the info I learned from using stencil
i listen to NL videos while im showering and i was shook when he started talking about how much every avenue of hair removal sucks while i was shaving my chest. what do you know about me egg
Man I get so agitated watching this man not buy negative obelisk when he has played like 50 two pairs which are leveled to like level 3, he could spend the rest of the game playing high card, pair, three of a kind, four of a kind all while scaling his square joker and obelisk. But I still love him.
I hate Square Joker, he always baits me into thinking that he scales but he is awful. Even if you get him before your first hand 4chips x 8 antes x 3 levels x 4 hands even if you play 4 cards every hand it only would be 384 chips after the final boss. That's horrible
Hearing NL talk about the flea market guy after just learning about him for the first time on a local late night show has me wondering if this is just a huge simulation
About the but on 4:3 hockey… I swear to god I feel I used to watch TH-cam when 480p was standard quality. And that shit was good I thought 720 Hd was the pinnacle of clarity, and now it looks so blurry to me, I feel like i need glasses or something. Crazy how the newer HD makes old stuff like that
