and then it hit me."


Even before this starts, everything I've heard about Bard sounds like making it an incentive was a terrible mistake.

I do hope Slackaholicus gets to redeem himself for the poo poo luck and death in Isaac, though.

He's playing the "Move whenever you want" character? The gently caress? Why would you want that, the whole point is the rhythm mechanic

Why did they even put this character in the game?

Maybe bard is a bonus run since it's shorter? if not then I wish they'd made it a bidding war.

For when you just want to chill and listen to some catchy music. The character itself is extremely easy to play since without the rhythm mechanic, NecroDancer is a very easy roguelike.

Nothing wrong with Bard as a character but it's a boring choice for this.

Useful to learn the game and fun for speedrunning. That's how I got started in it.

Oh, good, they have other commentators who actually know what's going on in the game.

It's a shame the music is sort of quiet, but run saved!
