Hahaha so I finally got a Suicide King run where I was able to buy Magic Fingers in Caves 1. Then got three guppy items immediately after. It bears repeating: when the game wants you to win, it really wants you to win.

Now to do Solar System. Whee.

I like using guppy's hairball. This is my terrible confession. Cat got your tongue was actually not awful for me because I had enjoyed swinging the hairball at things on previous runs and kinda sorta had a grasp of how its physics worked.

Idk there's just something satisfying about watching it spin. I think this might just be a sign of me being really easy to please w/r/t my entertainment.

I unlocked godhead, got sharp plug, ipecac, pyromaniac, d6, joker card, then saw Isaac's heart and decided to pick it up.

Is there a less bullshit way of getting godhead?

Unfortunately, no. But here's a tip to help avoid wasting time. If you find Sacred Heart in an Angel Room, restart because it's impossible to get both that and Godhead in the same run. (Unless you get really lucky with an Eden start.)

Completely untrue. I've gotten both, it's just really rare due to how the game calculates Special Items. Also it's about as amazing as you'd expect :v:

Does anyone have any idea why the game would run fine on a pretty standard laptop, runs fine on my desktop fullscreen (4690k, 7970), but when I try to play windowed on my desktop I see massive slowdown periodically?

I played Azazel and Dice Room-Rerolled my equipped items and got Quad Shot + Antigravity. I was really confused when my shot took forever to charge up and resulted in me spitting out a swirling red wormhole that hovered, growing, for a moment and then unfolded into a clustershot of lasers.

Then I one-shot It Lives with it :staredog:

Ah, my mistake then. Yeah, then just use the infinite reroll method to find Godhead, although definitely avoid going into devil rooms since seeing a special item reduces the chances of another spawning.

Because when you're playing fullscreen, the computer only has to render the game. If you're playing in windowed mode, it has to render the game and everything else.

I feel like the 'reduce chance of special item appearing' effect really should occur only if you pick up the item. The current system is... Less than intuitive.

It's weird, but I see the exact opposite problem. The game runs beautifully on my desktop in either mode, but windowed mode on my laptop causes insane slowdown.

I don't know, I'd hate to see an item I don't want, pass it up, and then see it again next floor because I didn't bother touching it.

But it doesn't only make it less likely you'll see the same item, but literally any item in the special item pool. I'd prefer having the same chance to get a special item always and see soy milk twice in a run than what it is now.

I get that. But I can play games that require ~actual 3d rendering etc~ at good framerates, windowed, running 2 monitors. It comes in spikes with isaac, and pretty much only isaac.

This is more what I'd expect ^. A slower (presumably) system seeing issues.

I want to be able to play on my desktop but it's hard to play well on a large monitor at fullscreen.

Jesus Christ, Missing No. can give you some loving insane combos. I thought that getting Ipecac + Death's Touch + Chocolate Milk (letting me rapid-fire ipecac scythes) and then finding Monstro's Lung giving me supercharged Ipecac tears was insane.

But now on the floor change I got Death's Touch + Chocolate Milk + Tiny Planet + Sad Bombs and who knows what else and holy poo poo. :stare:

Is there a known bug in the Flash Binding of Isaac that can turn ??? into Isaac?

All I know is, I started as ???, acquired the Book of Shadows, Tiny Mushroom, and Dead Cat. A little while after using The Sun against Gurdy, I realized my soul hearts had turned into red Heart Containers. And now the boss and dream scenes are showing Isaac instead of ???

I understand Wrath of the Lamb is glitchy as hell, but I'm not finding anything about this.

The dead cat is set to take away everything you have in the heart department and give you a single red heart container.

I am guessing this even overwrites ???'s 'never get red hearts' thing in the flash game?

When I initially picked the Dead Cat up, it gave him one soul heart. If the Dead Cat's not set to revive a character as Isaac like a reverse Ankh, I'm still inclined to think the Sun was responsible for the glitch.

I forgot to mention the in-game sprite of Isaac/??? had somehow turned black. I couldn't make out whether he had Isaac or ???'s face because the Tiny Mushroom shrunk him.

And wow, the Flash game's controls are so stiff compared to Rebirth's.

I guess it was a sign of things to come. Also the fact that there isn't something in the coding make it so you are guaranteed at least two different pills makes that item even lousier.

I suppose I could look it myself, but has Edmund said anything about expected release date for the expansion? Q2, Q3? or just "this year"

Sounds like you got Judas's Shadow and then died. On death it turns you into another character with the aforementioned name, so ???'s special abilities no longer affect you, so you can pick up red hearts and so on.

Judas's Shadow isn't in the Flash game. I think it was just Wrath of the Lamb having one of its hiccups.

Yeah the problem is getting guppy is the most powerful option but the paw itself is a useless item by that point (and kind of in general unless you can get it from somewhere other than a devil deal AND before you've taken a devil deal).

It's sad to give up two great items. But all aboard the guppy train.
