When I want an actual challenge I play tainted lost now usually

Regular lost is actually not a bad character IMO

Tainted is unironically a good character if you are not dogshit

since the better item pool

Yeah

I think they managed to balance both of them to be fun

(Man who has already completed all challenges so has nothing to complain about)

Regular lost is honestly pretty top tier in terms of how good he is because of the mantle

free devil deals is great

I've bought 0 of the DLC for Issac but started playing recently, feels bad without mods tbh

Repentance?

I have never touched the lost because I stopped playing before it got mantle

Other than the item description mod, you really do not need mods to enjoy issac

Base rebirth is pretty basic

item description just replaces looking at the wiki

But I still think it's fine

That's literally all id like

>Not having played 1k+ hours and just knowing all the items by heart

Skill issue

I vaguely know what eveything does, but even still, I like it just telling me

I have base Rebirth, but having to second monitor the wiki for most of the items is a pain still. I'm sure after awhile it'll be fine

I've been playing Isaac since I was singular digit age

I do not know exact stat boosts each item gives, I just know what stats the affect

This shit is buried in my neurons

Polar just get external item descriptions

The best item is the clown hat because it gives +0.1 damage

The only other ones I have are boss rush countdown because I forget what round I am on otherwise, and one that makes lucky penies more noticable because I am blind

oh and planetarium chance for the extra hud

I played with 0 mods

which should just be a default thing

But if you're new to the game I think item description mod is alright

I do think part of the fun is picking up something and being like "oh..." though

Issac is cryptic as shit for what some of its things do

especially trinkets

I do not know what a few of the trinkets do still

Even some from original Isaac I'm not 100% sure of

(They changed their effects)

Also I will never memorize the spindown item pool

I know a few

Blue map into 20/20

I know a few of the important ones like that and blood bag into brim

Bloodbag into brimstone

Those are the ones I know

I know the planterium items all spindown into eachother

Oh and lazarus rags into godhead

Spindown just goes to the next item in number order right

Yes

Makes sense all the planetarium would be grouped

so in general, if you know what item is what release, you can also know what pool it will spindown into

so the DLCs are grouped

Its a shame multiplayer was a bit too laggy for us

Anyways Polar, if you are liking issac, I'd recommend the DLC

its worth it, it basically just triples the amount of things that can happen in a given run

Isaac DLC is def worth it

I only skipped it because I had already 100%'d base rebirth before the first DLC dropped

and then just never got around to it until 2 years ago

i only dont know what anything after the first? afterbirth+ extra content thing

does

because thats when i stopped watching the northernliondaily isaac video

so my storage of every single isaac item and how they interact with every other item

is outdated

yea i didnt buy it on the last steam sale, but im in no rush so ill pick it up during spring i think

I have 50 hours, and theyre all so spaced out that I just kinda forget half the items, its not too bad tbh but having a improved stat screen and item desc makes the game much easier imo

/v/ga voting is up

is there any interest in doing an archipelago today tomorrow or monday?

Jim is streaming tomorrow, I have school monday, if its a shorter one I can maybe do one tonight. I'd probably just do mario 64 to avoid complicating things though, paper mario was a bit much last time

Actually its been a while, let me look at the unofficial list of supported games, maybe they added something else I'd be interested in

we could test stuff and not plan to finish

I might be busy tonight, not sure yet

should be free completely next 2 days

its nice that there's more options for zelda now

I have like one thing on Monday and I need to get some research milestones done but I'll just do that on the days we don't do it

Uh, you know, if we do it earlier, I can do it tomorrow

that works for me too

how early is that>

Jim streams at 7?
