Yes, parents absolutely should do some research and take a vested interest in the media their children consume, especially when it's rated "Mature (17+)" right on the front of the package (the review is for the Switch version).

Also, what the gently caress is with calling her a bitch.

I'm attempting the speed! challenge, and I keep going into item rooms only to have the item disappear as soon as I enter. What gives?

EDIT: I can't find ANYTHING about this online. My only guess is that maybe it's some kind of cheeky anti-piracy measure, and I'm somehow triggering it by using Family Sharing?

EDIT2:This devil room had the missing page and brimstone, then they both just faded away.

I always thought rubber cement for Azazel was worthless. However, if you shoot your laser at a wall and you're a step back, it becomes brimstone.

Just beat Greedier mode because I had that, triple shot and spoon bender.

Still no quick reset for the Switch version, huh?

So I still haven't gotten the 31 dailies challenge even though I've literally done almost every daily for the past 2 and a half months. Im probably pretty close but once I finish a daily and it goes to the score screen with everyone else's scores the game crashes and kicks me back to the Switch home screen, which means it must not be recording it as a completion.

Yaaaaaaaay.

Playing on the Switch: I have blood laser barrage and monstros lung, so every attack has a slight slowdown. Well I have curse of the tower + every single bomb power up (prize, scatter, tear bombs, etc etc). I got hit and it took over 30 seconds for the switch to process what the gently caress just happened. The screen was straight red death.

They said something about how it's easier (read: more cost effective) to bundle updates for Switch so I guess wait another 9 months for that and the Lokii patch

Hit B after your score is tabulated to go back to the main menu and it'll count. My 31 daily reward actually unlocked while I was doing a daily as I jumped between floors.

I just picked this up on Switch having never played it before. I took a glance at one twitch streamer and every treasure room he went into had 4 options to choose from instead of just the 1. Is there an achievement that unlocks that or is it an item he got on an earlier floor?

There's no treasure rooms with 4 items, but there is an unlockable item that forces treasure rooms to always be a choice between two items.

Sounds like a mod. The only item that does something like that gives you two item options. Either that or he happened to get a lot of library rooms or something.

Probably a mod. Hutts uses it for polling runs where viewers decide which he takes.

I beat Greedier with Lazarus and never died. I ended up as a Bob Leviathan that could not be killed because if the huge amount of coins and hearts that farted out of him all the time.
Also managed to get Holy Mantle for the Lost.
Now I can begin that nightmare.

I can't tell if this is a bug or something else is going on, but at some point during a run I traded Teleport for Telepathy for Dummies, but whenever I activate it, I get teleported to a random room instead. Switch version.

On one hand I like having new items, but on the other hand I've got over 400 hours of playtime and I'm really not enjoying having to tab over to a wiki like I did when I first started playing so I can actually know all the effects a new item might have.

And yes I know the easy answer here is "then just take stuff and stop worrying about it dummy" but in a game like this that rewards prior knowledge with cool combos or interactions, not being sure what a thing might do is really grating to me.

The mod External Item Descriptions was updated on this very day, and is extremely useful for that.

I didn't even know something like this was possible with the current modding tools. I thought they were super limited, did that change at some point?

Putting text on the screen and scanning entities in the room is extremely easy; the stuff that people are still lacking iirc is the ability to insert new floor variants/game chapters, character-based unlocks, and other grandiose stuff like that.

I waded into Reddit so you didn't have to:

quote:

• Pop! (formerly Bank Shot) by Ashkait and Scayze! The pair returns with another implemented mod in the form of Pop! A reworking of their Bank Shot (a billiard-based tear effect), this item has Isaac firing eyeballs which bounce off one another, much like pool balls—hence the original effect.

• 7 Seals by Ashkait and Scayze! Sheesh, play favorites much, Nicalis? I kid, love you both (/u/Ashkain is a nerd tbh). This familiar spawns one of the Horsemen, each with their own effects! While they have been reworked to each only spawn a regular blue fly, rather than their own respective flies, the item is still pretty neat.

• Angel Prism (formerly Thought) by Erfly & Electoon! Renamed for some odd reason, this familiar circles Isaac, acting as a prismatic reflection of his tears! On firing into, 4 tears of different colors are created for a beautiful destructive effect. It's pretty neat! Oh, and it synergizes wonderfully with Analog Stick!

• Mr. ME! (formerly Mr. Meeseeks) by Jean-Alphonse! This 4-room charge active item gives you a dutiful little Lost friend, which will do your bidding, so long as you give him your attention. He can open doors, steal you an item, grind enemies down to a pulp, and more. And obviously, the mod is based off of Mr. Meeseeks from Rick & Morty! It's a rad item, go check it out.

A New Trinket!

• Door Stop by Strawrat and CupertinoEffect! This trinket causes the door to remain open on entering a room for the first time!

Misc Changes
New Eden hairstyles by This Guy, and a few other contributors! Look suaver as you crush enemies in the Basement!
The mirror now properly breaks! Woo!
The charge bar has finally been removed from Forget-Me-Now!
Locust of Wrath renamed to Locust of War
That seems to be all for now, but this will be updated as more information is uncovered! Stay tuned!

This update seems real boring. No quality of life improvements like the last one, just four new items to rarely see and another useless trinket to ignore.

I checked yesterday and was disappointed to see there was no new Antibirth news since February 1st. I know the team was really (justifiably) angry after Afterbirth+'s release was so botched, but I guess that old grudge plus the lack of the promised mod tools led them to drop it altogether, which is a shame.

Nah, it wasn't dropped out of a gruge or anything. The problem is that Kilburn is the only programmer and he got super, super burnt out on working on it, especially since the main thing to do, adding Afterbirth support, is probably a tremendous pain in the rear end. I wouldn't write it off forever but at this point I'm not waiting on it, it'll just be a "oh, nice!" if it ever actually gets done.

It doesn't sound that useless. I am guessing it doesn't work on rooms where the door lock upon a user action (like the challenge rooms or boss rush), but it could be useful if you are going for the Keeper's achievements or have a poor build and want to avoid going through the most bullshit rooms where 9 out of 10 times you will take damage, especially if you can find another path to the boss rooms.

I don't know how they missed that it crashes those special rooms though. Aren't they supposed to be playtesting the booster packs for at least a month?
