Remember in the original Isaac when you could instakill Mom if you could get the stomp to target an eye/flesh mound when it was out of the door? I miss that.

Subsequent playthroughs will have two additional floors and you will eventually acquire another two on top of those.

You can still stand to the left of the lower door, just out of range of the grab, and shoot right or let your orbitals hit Mom when she pops out. You're safe from anything there except the enemies she spawns.

Died in the second room of the daily run the other day. Room full of TNT and didn't dodge in time. Can't remember the last time that's happened. Oh well, finished top 20 in time for today's run so it evens out

I hope the April Fools daily is as bad as I expect it to be. I'm thinking maybe Ipecac + Dunce Cap + My Reflection + Soy Milk?

Haha oh man what an April Fools daily. This is really something. You play as Keeper and the goal is Mega Satan. As if that wasn't bad enough, every item you pick up will turn into something else immediately. This includes trinkets. I picked up an item in the first treasure room which replaced my Wooden Nickel and as I picked the Nickel up again it just flat out turned into something else. Got lucky and picked up a Swallowed Penny, but picked up another trinket and lost that as well. This is gonna be a blast.

I've been playing with a mod that guarantees an OP start by loading the first room with ridiculous items. I can hereby say that Death's Touch + Ludovico + Ipecac + Inner Eye + Mutant Spider + Sacred Heart + Godhead is the most fun tear to watch as it makes its way across the screen.

Probably just Ed doing a self-depreciating joke, which he probably should stop doing since every time he does that people miss the joke and beat it completely to the ground as yet another reason for why he's literally hitler.

 Holy poo poo, they do exist. I thought Bomb Beggars were one of those jokes you guys tell newbies. Edit: I actually found a Forget Me Now in Hush's level and decided to double-kill Hush because my build is broken. The second passthrough gave me much better items in the treasure rooms.

Is there like a new enemy? I saw something in Greed Mode yesterday I have never seen before. Some kind of small, fairly flat, thing?

Like a flattened version of the black-colored enemies that leave the blob of flesh and a spider when you kill them the first time. They leave a trail of creep and spit out a ridiculous number of spiders if you don't kill them quick enough.

You rarely ever see the black globin heads because rarely anybody ever goes through Sheol/Dark Room by choice.Slime posted:What? What? What is this? I've literally never seen a loving bomb beggar ever. I know, right? On shop-breaking runs I've filled entire rooms with regular and demon beggars just trying to get a bomb beggar to spawn, and haven't seen one for real until then. And of course the loving thing spawns a troll bomb with its first drop and dies right away.

I have almost 800 hours played and I've never seen the bomb beggar either. Despite flooding whole rooms with them with Blank Card + Judgment. They're extremely rare.

Speaking new enemies. I"m pretty sure I've never seen those blue two headed fatties that have now shown up in the chest a few times for me in the last week or two.

Yeah, they only show up in the Chest. And usually they die too fast to show you their gimmick, which is homing ipecac shots. That said, this game still surprises me now and again with extremely rare rooms.

 Afterbirth+ news There's a reddit thread soliciting submissions for AB+ powerups from the community. Afterbirth for consoles has been submitted for approval, and they'll post a launch date as soon as they have one. And here's a fragment of a screenshot from Bumbo.  And "misc. secret game update"

Terrible Opinions posted:The lost is actually a good fun character if you unlock the holy mantle for him. Easily better than Lazarus, Maggy, the Keeper, ???, Lilith, and Cain. I kinda like Lazarus. My strategy with him is to go hard on the first devil deal unless the items offered are total garbage. Either the devil deal kills me outright or I kill myself on a fire afterwards, then respawn with the 1.2x damage multiplier and not-bad luck. He's still not a great character but makes for an interesting change. ???, Lilith, and Cain are all fine, though Lilith takes some getting used to. Maggy's slowness makes me dislike her somewhat. Keeper is aggressively unfun because he's poo poo slow both in movement and firing rate, plus devil deals are much harder to take and much harder to earn because his coin health counts as red hearts for the purposes of earning a devil room. I ended up cheatengining to get Keeper through Hush and Mega Satan. THEN I discovered the strategy of bombing pots on the first two floors to get Swallowed Penny and make him mostly invincible. He's still awful to play though.

I don't know if I've ever had a more heart racing video game experience than Keeper vs hush and mega Satan! Now that I've done it and there are no longer any stakes, I probably won't try to fight them again though!

Whenever I tried to do this with Lazarus I'd either get health ups in the first two treasure rooms/first floor boss or get a bullshit all red chest or soul heart devil deal. I've also never had a Suicide King drop for him. I started suiciding with Lazarus ASAP to get the damage boost to get the unlocks and haven't touched him since.

 Bumbo update! posted:Bumbo is a difficult game to compare to other games but i think the best would be to call it a cross between puzzle quest and isaac mixed a bit with magic the gathering. its probably good to get that basic description set in stone before we go to far into teasing and too many of you think we are doing some wacky JRPG type paper mario game.
