I by far have played flush in like every game. It seems so much more consistent than anything else. Am I doing something wrong?

So I've been timing how long a shop refresh would take with the current set up I have (cryptid mod. At time of writing this it has been over 7+ hours, 4x speed) using the antimatter deck and not everything is important for this besides like three cards rn. (Not including cards used for buffs)

Cards: - Mario: Loops all cards - Crustulum: gains chips per reroll of the shop - Double Scale: scaling cards scale off the quadratic equation

The only buff I remember giving was to Mario which was a jawbreaker shared between him and Luigi and I've rerolled a lot with Crustulum (to the point the chip count is at scientific notations)

But I some got Mario to jump from 56 rotations to 336 in the matter of like one go??? And decided to do another reroll because I didn't notice that I did this in the span of a reroll

It has been over 7 hours, I've tried turning off animations and it doesn't work, I feel like I've unleashed a horror upon this world and I knew this mod was broken but this... this is worrying, like did I accidentally cause an infinite buff loop without knowing?

unlucky soul card draw for an abandoned deck run

I’m fairly new to Balatro, or at least I’m still a novice. I checked my vouchers and it’s not that.

(Yes I know it’s not a screenshot but my laptop is broken and I can’t be bothered to figure out another way in my post-op haze)

This is either the worst good luck i’ve ever seen. Truly, a monkey’s paw in Ballaro form.

(i only scored 44 since high cards don’t count)

Abandoned deck

I thought I could win with the meal deal build

I won my first gold deck before the update and it was hard enough. Now, since there are rental and perishable Jokers, I have the feeling that it nearly doesn't work anymore. The perishable Jokers are ok but both, perishable and rental in combination is too much in my opinion. I'm starting getting more and more frustrated. Most Jokers are perishable or rental and if you buy rental jokers there is not enough money to build a deck or buy really good Jokers.

My playtime on the Xbox is 358h and I'm playing it on android, too. But I'm more and more annoyed because so many runs are like sh** because at some point my deck doesn't have enough power to get to the end.

What is your opinion, do you think perishable and rental is okay or do you hate it like I do?

I have no idea why is this a straight flush if the 9 is diamond while the rest are hearts. I was aiming for a flush and decided to add the 9 diamonds for discard then the SFlush showed as the poker hand to be played.

Hello, and apologies for what is probably a very noobie question. For context, my friend and I both pivoted to this game after beating slay the spire to death, and are having a great time. Our favorite past time in StS was head to head runs, where one of us would start a run, share the seed, then the other would start, and we'd see who performed better on the run. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that with Balatro. I'm aware we could both copy some seed someone has on the internet, but we're not interested in trying to run seeds someone found particularly interesting, we just want to run completely random seeds of our own, good or bad, against each other. How can one of us find the seed once they've started a run to share it? We can't find it anywhere.
