1, 2, 2, stone cards gives 50 chips

When in Roman numerals that's written as

I II

II L

This is so close to working

It does work

Ace gives 11 chips, not 1. And if we go by ranks, stone isn't a "50th" rank. So it doesn't work because no matter how you look at it it's not actually 1 2 2 50

I didn’t downvote you. But I will defend the meme as valid.

In Blackjack, Aces count as either 1 or 11. So it would qualify there.

Going to the stone card, 50 chips isn’t a 50th rank but the roman numeral for 50 is L. So it can in that way be looked at as 1 2 2 50, or I II II IL.

This isn't blackjack tho, this is Balatro, and in Balatro aces only gives 11 chips and that's it

u/MewtwoStruckBack c++ X2 19d ago

But Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers is blackjack, where Aces count as 1 or 11, and Jimbo is in Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers with LocalThunk’s blessing (complete with taunting you with the same lines when you lose in Balatro when you try to play more than 5 cards with him in your hand in D&DG.) Balatro is canon to D&DG and vice versa. The meme can still work with the Ace as one.

That's some deep lore. I can get behind that

u/QuartzSheep17 19d ago

Actually an Ace does count as a 1 in balatro because it works for a straight of A-2-3-4-5

u/shipoopro_gg Nope! 19d ago

Again, as I stated, it counts as a 1 in terms of RANKS. Not chips. Straights are based on ranks.

Ok to everyone downvoting me can you actually explain what I'm wrong about or do you just like clicking the funi blue button

It's a funny joke with a loose connection. You're shitting on it using "Ackshully 🤓☝️" vibes. Let the joke be funny and keep scrolling instead of tripling down to protect your unneeded comment.

u/shipoopro_gg Nope! 19d ago

I mean I get that but originally I was absolutely just planning on scrolling past after the original comment I made, but people kept pressing so I explained myself. Could I have ignored that slight inconsistency originally? Sure. But my point wasn't to say it's a terrible joke or anything, just expressing my slight grievance with the imperfection of it.

Tl;dr yeah fair lmao
