I have defeated gambling. Thank you to our Discord Professor Jolteon and many lab assistants for making this possible
You know RT has the strongest seed known to man when he lasted for 4 hours Balatroin’ all over the place
Praise the alliance of the Poker Wizards!!
no you haven’t, you need to get 1.79e308 (java integer limit) to truly win
Now you can never play Balatro again
Hey artie I think the p NG tuber is really cute.However, I wanted to let you know that I miss seeing your nice handsome, happy smi.Hope we get more streams with your real face soon
Guy walks into a casino. Puts a bunch of shiny illegal cards on the table, plus a picture of an idol, the schematics of the idol, a few drawings, and three signed pictures of Dane Cook. Dealer gives him a few Octovigintillion chips, more than the atoms in the known universe. Guy cashes out for twenty six bucks.

Isn't that the plot of an anime?

"when playing poker, you can lose 100% of your money, but you can win 3000%, do the math boy" - My father (i havent seen him in 16 years)

You know, in many Asian cultures the number "Four" is a homophone for death, and of the four suits of a playing card Spades are often associated with death. I'm mentioning this because Dan's 4 of spades build killed this game.
And Death was his most used tarot card as well!
It's like poetry
The prophecy writes itself
@@trulymrword It rhymes.
@@trulymrword 35:25 "Goodbye family, we hardly knew you". This represents how by this point, Dan has truly given everything up and exchanged his humanity for raw power. Dan has abandoned his family and missed his kids growing up in order to achieve greatness, and he has become detached from all emotions, bar the thrill of power. It marks the final turning point where Dan finally becomes death. His dark sorcery has corrupted his very soul and turned him into a true monster who has forgotten what it means to love.
I love how Dan condensed everything from “This is my first playthrough” to “We’re gonna RNG manip the whole game like a TAS would” into just 3 videos.
such a magnificent journey.
Oh shit i saw the first video and just watched this one but i didn't notice there was one in between.
"Convert the left card... In to the right card"
Reminder: convert the left card, into the right card
The one day you do it backwards will be glorious
@@TrikeanDan already did that once, in his like first playtrough I think it scarred him deeply
convert the left card into the Rykard is the only thing i could hear because of the Elden Ring music
Convert the left card...in to the right ( adj, morally good, justified, or acceptable) card..
there's a quote thats like "if given the chance players will optimize the fun out of a game" but this is one of those times where its not just optimized but full decimation to where it becomes fun again but like in a morbid curiosity way
I genuinely believe that applies to things involving farming for games like MMOs, for games where the goal and the fun is to get as far into it as possible or in the case of speedrunning as quickly as possible optimization is a way to enhance the fun. Like a Rube Goldberg machine
Sometimes, it's not about building a game that doesn't break, it's about building a game that breaks in _just_ the right way...
fun reached the lower end of the integer limit
this is truly the final game of balatro
@@blakksheep736exactly, also a game like this turns breaking into a sort of communal event and I think that’s very cool
"Consult the prophet" might be my new favorite twitch chat quote
22:38
main channel only viewers NEED to know that like 90% of the souls music in this video isn't edited in. the music timing in this stream was INSANE
You are joking right? The musical timing is insane!
NO WAY
@@bezmagica you can see it at 22:20
i want a list of which songs were used i want it for the bit, because my mind wants to mess with someone's head
@@yoshigalxyed4664like 90% of it was the godskin theme lol, radagon’s theme was there as well. I thought I heard a bit of godfrey but honestly can’t remember (oh and also Elden beast was there too it was all Elden Ring lol which is fair cuz it’s a banger ost)
I like how "Convert the left card into the right card" has somewhat just become a mantra of sorts, and Dan says it with a slight hint of creepiness to it like a madman slowly descending further into his own madness.
left card... to right card...
mumbling "Convert the left card.... Into the right card...." over and over in my sleep
"convert the left card... into the right card... AND THEY SHALL KNOW DEATH!" -RT, probably
I always say it to myself too, to make sure I don't accidentally put my good card on the left 😂
@@rotteldastation you put the good one on the right
1) Appeasement of ancient, omniscient deity... (AnonJolteon, chat) 2) ...giving him access to the heretical casting of deep magic... (RNG manipulation) 3) ...through rigorous study of the forbidden texts... (discord science) 4) ...granting him power unfathomable and lovecraftian. (scoring 4 untrigintillion points) In conclusion, Daniel played as a Warlock on this run. No further questions, your honor.
Sounds like heresy to me brother
YES@!
Can confirm
I see no errors here.
5) ??? 6) PROFIT!!!
My favorite part about this is the “Balanced” after every hand. Y’know, because it’s not.
plasma deck kinda OP i mean it does double the base blind (which does make early game wall/violet vessel real scary) but it's not an issue when you get sextillion times the needed chip count
plasma makes your chips and mult the same, so early game you run chips bc they're easy to get and later you run mult bc you've established a system by then
@@TemmiePlaysthank you for saying this, I was looking for a comment about it.
@@TemmiePlays Selling the arrowhead is the moment where RT pivoted from chips to multiplier then?
"We must determine which streamer has the strongest seed" This can have a *very* different meaning without context
Do NOT let the Minecraft streamers in on that.

😂🤣
First Video: "Idk what I'm doing, but hey I crushed my tutorial seed!" Second Video: "Let me use my seed and break the game." Third Video: "Let me use my seed again, and with help from a lone Jolteon, become a god of Balatro."
a typical JRPG progression.
@@Mendoza-yi6qkThe difference is that he became God instead of killed it.
"Use my seed" sounds Not Quite Right in my ears
I tremble in fear of what the fourth video will contain
He is the balatro
The hard limit is ante 39, at that point the required score is "Not a Number", so no matter how high you score, you'll lose. It is possible to get there with some Perkeo Shenanigans, but as far as we know, it is literally impossible to go any further, even if you were to have 100 negative bluepirnts
Has anyone managed to reach that ante "naturally" or was this discovered by data mining and save editing?
@@Bone8380 yeah there's strategies that can get there naturally (I don't know if it's been done unseeded though)
Can you hit NaN on your own score and win forever from that point forward?
@@ngwoo You can hit NaN, but that doesn't clear a NaN score, so you'll just lose. In order for you to pass, the game needs to be able to calculate that your score is higher than the goal, which it can't do with numbers larger than floats, so there is literally no setup that could score enough. It's impossible with how the game is coded
Indeed. Even if you yourself score "naneinf", it still counts it as a loss. There are a lot of mods/it's easy to mod to remove this limit though.
After countless years pass, humans playing Balatro will forget the names of the minds behind the scores and the pioneers that reached them, but the techpriests who shall attempt to break further beyond will repeat one simple chant "convert the left card, into the right card"

@@libertyprime3827 ah alr, thanks
You know, when Balatro showed up on RT's channel, I thought this would just be like any other normal indie game skirmish that RT usually does. One or two episodes, perhaps three for good measure if there's ever a DLC. I never really expected Balatro to appear again afer the last one, but here we are; not only is this the third episode of a rougelike game, the content took so much disproportionate work that it is such a ridiculous yet valid contribution to the game's community that the video is likely going down somewhere in *Balatro history.* How did we get here? How did it escalate so much only THREE EPISODES IN???
He played Luigi Poker in the DS version of Mario 64 of course he would play this more.
Two Words: Gambling Addiction
It escalated this far because RT has an eternal desire to defeat the concept of gambling itself.
@@sugoistalin7809 and he is never punished, so the question is not how did we get here, but why would we ever go anywhere else?
@@Darkfyyre even the gods fear what he would do if they tried to stop him.

Exactly my experience.
and so Icarus flew higher and higher, his wings slowly melting, but he flew anyway, not caring for the wings he now shed, until he reached the sun and and accepted his place among the great.

I used to think his Gambling Addiction was just a funny bit. A running gag. This man horrifies me.

I caught this live and thought "oh this looks like fun, I'll watch it to unwind for the evening" only to end up on the edge of my seat for literally every ante in the late game. So *this* is the thrill of gambling
yessss indoctrination. come young one, 100% of dwarves that stop digging are idiots or however the saying goes. join our ranks✨
So, last Balatro vid, people were talking about RT's score going to the moon. In this one, his highest hand, assuming every point was one (1) millimeter, would take him to the _edge of the observable universe_ 1,441,382,200 times _for each grain of sand on earth_
Is that Jerma on the thumbnail
No, thats clearly Joker
@@yaboipktendonah looks like jerma
Obviously yeah
mhm yes he is there
It certainly could be
Ah yes, gambling with ultimate power; Maths™ Small note: I really like how the Vtuber avatar bounces whenever RT laughed, kinda looks cartoonishly evil
literally being able to 'predict the future' of the seed, then surpassing jolteon was the most jawdropping thing from this channel since the Butcher of Sapienza. Well done Mr. Game
I think most people don't appreciate just how absurdly many chips RT got in the end. Not only is 2.4e96 larger than the number of atoms in the observable universe, 2.4e96 is actually 24 000 000 000 000 000 times the number of atoms in the observable universe. Almost every single record-breaking hand he had is larger than all of the chips from previous hands combined then multiplied, several times over. From another perspective, when solving equations, if I get such a number as the answer, I know my calculation definitely went wrong somewhere.
Seeing Dan destroying just literally all of his competition just so he becomes Kaiba and plays Exodia is the most exotic thing
Watching this stream live was a terrifying experience
Even just watching the video is a terrifying experience lmao
For that entire opening, chat was just going "LISAN AL GAIB! LISAN AL GAIB!" (it's a Dune reference for those who don't know)
Dune, I totally miss you. I really fucking miss you. I'm al alone. Al the time. Al the time.
Fun fact: The game ends at Ante 39. At that point, the score required to beat the next blind will reach infinity, and due to how the comparison between your score and the required score's interpreted, even if you also score infinity (possible through some really screwy abuse of iron cards and the Cryptid usable card, since it can break the hand size limit indefinitely), it'll think that your score is still lower and you will automatically lose once you run out of hands.
Pokemon, Minecraft, Phoenix Wright, City Skylines, and now Balatro are part of the RT game legends
Terraria in shambles now
@@TheyCallMeDio Kinda forgot about that one I personally consider more of an OG game on this channel
Stardew Walter white smh
City Skylines has to be on that list
I'd say City Skylines count. West Virginia & "A Meteor have strikes the city" joke comes from there. Think Kirby also accelerated the whole gambling thing haha.
Last video Dan was getting scores over 2000x larger than the score he needed Now he's getting scores trillions of time larger than what he needs
“Trillions” is an understatement tbh, more like trillions of trillions of trillions
@@GreatFernicus I wasn't done with the video and I can't count that high when i got there
more like trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of trillions of billions of thousands of chips that should approximately stack up to where his run ended
40:58 This gives heavy "how many seconds in eternity" vibes
Ye he did directly quote Heaven Sent in the original stream as well
Somebody has to fully optimize this seed now. Take where Jolteon left off, and perfect the highest score. Get more negative jokers, find the true perfect Balatro run
Turns out gambling is easier when you have the gift of prophecy
There's a movie about that, nic cage is in it
Finally, a Roguelike with a walkthrough
I like the visual of his deck being too powerful to the known universe his cards keeps breaking under the strain of his power
I don't even play balatro and my biggest nightmare is still fucking up a death card and turning the stinker into the good card
Since 'turning the stinker into the good card' is what you want and not a fuck up, you basically fucked it up in a yt comment 😂
@@ascaiihd1472 fuck
The vod for this was so intense. Glad it’s a video. Props to Cloè for editing
36:45 you could either sell the showman or wait for the ectoplasm Rt-ok we sell the dna
And honestly it was the right choice. If you actually think about what DNA actually does, it makes sense. Dan had enough funds to make new cards manually by buying deaths and standard cards from the shop, it's just a bit costlier and riskier, but getting rid of showman could have ended the run a lot sooner.
but the thing is, he found showman again a few rounds later :(
@@Spectrum-ng8ts Still, it wasn't a guarantee as he was far past the guidebook at that point and he would have no way of knowing he would get showman again. It was still a very smart decision on his part given the information he had at the time.
@@arealginvr The real genius move of this run in the end was getting gift card, it's what allowed him to then sell dna and still be able to bruteforce new card with money
I guess I don't know enough about balatro, why did he help keep holding onto scary face?
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says there are no more chips in the world. Says that he misses showman and the antes keep rising. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Drift King RTGame is on twitch tonight. Go and see his Balatro streams. That should pick you up'. Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor... I am RTGame.' Good joke. Everyone laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains
I loved it when he said "turn the left card into the right card" and then turned all the left cards into the right cards all over the room
This stream may or may not lead to me reading Dune so that I can understand all the Daniel Al Gaib memes from chat. (Also because my friends recommended it and I enjoyed my time with the dune board game)
The new movies are good and worth watching too imo
@@beckettshaw660 I've heard! I do want to watch them at some point
the two new movies are good too. it's the reason Dune is on the Zeitgeist of 2024
I usually chew through books. Dune is so incredibly alien and strange that I couldn't handle more than about 1 or 2 chapters a day. It's completely worth the time and effort it takes to read.
@@keystone5750 They might be easier for you to get into dune with. Though that depends on you as a person.
Balatro has become the most terrifying horror game yet. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting and fearing for RT to put the cards into the wrong order. Convert the left card, into the right card….
Following the text of the forbidden ritual and becoming a primordial cosmic poker force. Yet even the eternity chant of "convert the left card into the right card" cannot counter the shadow you grow. For even immortals must die.
Dan menacingly saying "I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE" has elevated this video above godhood for me
Dan’s raw luck and skill combined with the discord professors’ guidance is terrifying. Glory to Daniel Al Gaib.
the way i gasped when rt drew dna…. this was truly the deck build of all time
I SCREAMED WHEN HE DREW THE THIRD HACK
Dan employs Balatro Eugenics to create a Four of Spades ethnostate
The boss music elevated this video to e100. It felt like I was watching the final battle of an anime where the heroes are harnessing the power of the sun to defeat a god except it was Dan playing the same hand of poker cards over and over until his chips exceeded the number of atoms in the known universe.
RTGAME HAS PEOPLE LABBING OUT BALATRO. THIS MAN IS CRACKING THE DAVINCI CODE OF *FUNNY POKER*
Say it with friends "Convert the left card into the right card"
“As it is written, Daniel Al Gaib” -Anonjolteon
I like how there's just the Elden Ring theme as Dan creates the deck that will allow him to defeat God and become Elden Lord
19:37 Dan has decided to fuck the grey area and is practicing his speech for his villain moment. King shit
i had watched an anime in which when their stats go too high, they enter "The Domain Of E" as their stats just go that high seems like a perfect name for Balatro E runs
Can I have the name of this anime please? Sounds like a good watch
I would also like the name of this anime please.

With the knowledge that this seed can reach e96, I am certain Jolteon Al Gaib and his faithful wizards will be able to reach a Googol.
Ranting to my friends about how Balatro is ruining my life: New video drops:
Rt has surpassed mere luck, he has become Baltro, the destroyer of worlds and i am so very scared
as we should be tbh
Upon a throne of glass and bone, the drift king awaits his friend. His seed is sown, the kingdoms overthrown, for naught else but the end. With heavens asunder, his armies plunder a sea of four in chrome. And in merciless haze, they begin to raze what we all once called home. Turning left to right against the night, and keeping blueprints in hand, The royal Hack at once did crack, and turned to seek new land. Now in his wake, we seek to make a fitting tribute score, But lest none forget - and this, we regret- He may come back once more.
It’s incredible to see the rise of Daniel from humble gambler, to absolute poker masters EX. This man is absolutely something, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am happy to go down with your ship, captain. You’ve made it much further than anyone expected. Also big thanks to anonjolteon for just breaking the seed open.
Us:Dad pls dont go gamble again we need that money no dad nooooooooooooooooo RT:NEVER PUNISHED
I, for one, welcome our new Balatro Overlord as eventually converts us all into glass polychrome fours
21:11 Absolutely cosmic one-liner. Gospeed, RT, as every particle in the expanse of the universe has been conquered by your 4 of Spades.
The "I know what you are!" cued with the dramatic music in the background was both really menacing and fucking hilarious
RT's seed is the most powerful seed one could ever have
"Daniel al Gaib" might just be the funniest chat message ever.
On plasma deck, the highest possible ante is 39 before the game because actually unable to count to the scores it starts demanding of you. RT got to 26 with this madness. 2/3 of the way to literally infinite power.
35:55 "This is our final form" *still 13 minutes of video left* Dad, I am scared
I can't believe it, RT finally did it, he finally became John Gambling.
Everybody remember, Droub_ started all of this. He suggested using his own name as a seed and told him about the seeds in the first place. Droub_ gave Dan this much content. Thank you Droub_.
The line: "Convert the left card. Into the right card." Is genuinely terrifying to me now. All hail Danishiro Balatro, he who defeated the house at poker, he who is Never Punished!!
after a certain point it stops being about getting winning scores and starts being about sending a message
It is possible to get more than 98e If bids get to higher than 300e though the game will count anything as a loss. No matter how high you get.
The killscreen is at 308e actually
This isn't true, the highest round score is 1.8e289 in ante 38. After that the ante 39 small blind needs a score of naneinf which isn't a number but anything over the largest possible number Balatro's code can recognize. You lose no matter what at that point even if you do get a score of naneinf (Which is possible to get btw)
"I have become Balatro, destroyer of ante." -RTgame
I so desperately want the playlist RT used for this video
I think the first song was the firelink shrine from dark souls 1 but the rest are from the elden ring playlist, containing songs like the godskin apostle boss music and celestial beast(?) boss music. I recommend checking out the game series' ost if u liked the songs tho :D
I was completely engrossed this whole video. Absolutely terrifying stuff, thank you.
Just finished watching the archive last night, bloody insane. Mad props to Jolteon for crafting this ludicrous run
This really does feel like RT's livestreaming a cursed ritual to summon The Balatro Demon. So meticulous and planned out.
As the prophecy foretold... Baltro Al-Gaib...
There's something incredibly satisfying about watching someone excelling in something. There's something incredibly fascinating about watching someone controlling fate. There's something incredibly terrifying about watching someone multiplying their score until the "e" comes up. ...Wow !
They used to call him the Seed king back in college
I love that after every round the game says "btw this is balanced :)"
He's gained the power to destroy the observable universe X1000000 with his chips. We CANNOT stop him.
I love how everytime Dan thinks he's peaked, some new card comes along and casually doubles his top score
"As it was written..." - Daniel Al Gaib
Just commenting to let you know I am LOVING the Balatro series! The videos are so incredibly chaotic and funny and I cannot get enough of them. It is ridiculous how you are never punished, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Keep up the excellent work/luck!
In the first videos he used heart themed decks symbolising his remaining akd invigorated humanity In this he has now changed to using spades which represents the constant drive to just "dig" a little bit deeper His need to go even further than the confines of the obversable universe allowed is what caused his downfall
Just a few minutes in and this man is already invoking the old gods through strange and meaningless rituals.
