If anyone's sad they missed that Kickstarter, I'd be willing to sell my complete collection pledge. My Isaac hype was high when I purchased and a lot lower when it was delivered

I also got the big box and am very happy with what I got. I played a game last night with the girlfriend and she went from not knowing what bonding of isaac is to being a big fan. some friends are going to be getting together tomorrow to play a bigger game it’s basically magic the gathering where everyone plays out of a large shared deck

On a very, very base level it absolutely shares (borrows) some gameplay mechanics with MtG.

I got back into this game a couple months ago after my Youtube feed recommended me videos from Lazy Mattman and Lavendar Castle. That external item description mod makes the game immensely more enjoyable since I'm not constantly checking the wiki. I currently have 321 achievements after 175 hours.

I got back into it again with my steam deck and I was dreading doing the purist and I one shot it. Sometimes the world is just and good. Furthest I’ve ever gotten, I think that new expansion made it slightly easier to become overpowered so that was a nice bonus coming back after so long.

I'm trying to get all marks with Tainted Jacob and it has to be the most annoying loving poo poo I've ever done in a videogame. Most rooms from the last floors are simply not designed right for the character, meaning either you find something that gives you flying earlier or you're 100% hosed, no chance, in several rooms layout. Enemies/moving blocks can accidently push you into Esau and immediately ruin your run at any time. Not to mention to even have a shot at the harder marks you need to break the run both in terms of damage and health regen because you'll lose a massive amount of hearts vs any endgame boss. But most of all - this is the kind of "hard" that's not fun. Even when you get the right rooms and items, you need to be 100% focused on Esau all the time and it just tires you the gently caress out. It's a dumb endurance test in a game full of dumb endurance tests.

I'm on Tainted Jacob now and I strongly agree. Most of the time if I lose a good run it's because I got momentarily distracted and accidentally walked into Esau while trying to dodge something else. It's very frustrating to gather a full healthbar and then have it not matter due to failing the endurance test, which is particularly obnoxious since it keeps running even during "strategic" moments where you're managing resources and not fighting. Down to just Delirium for Tainted Jacob now, then I need to do all of Tainted Eden's marks.

And that's Dead God. Tainted Eden was honestly way less bad than I thought he'd be, it only took 4 failed runs and all of those felt completely winnable. You can get screwed over by unlucky health fluctuations and ultra-bad items like Glass Cannon but by just gathering as many items as possible I found that most of the rerolls had pretty wild damage. Only thing I think needs to change about the character is protecting the healthbar from rerolls so you can't just randomly lose all your health. Being able to fill out the rest of the collection by rerolling Eden 200 times until I found Death Certificate twice was certainly welcome.

There's an "always start with death certificate" mod and it is definitely not cheating because that part of 100%ing the game is bullshit

Tainted Lost rules. 95% of your runs are terrible tragedies because the sacred orb thing has made you super powerful but still you only get 2 hits.

Crackbone posted:Is there anyway to selectively cheat unlock stuff? I basically want to skip Jacob/Esau entirely, I cannot stand them. Start a run as a character you can clear with, and press start (before you leave the first room) to join in on a second controller and select the char you want to unlock stuff for. You can just let them die (and you'll have to re-kill them every boss since they revive) and clear with p1, and it will count as unlocks for both chars. Before I stopped playing, I was doing this for Jacob/Esau because I wanted their unlocks, but wasn't particularly keen about playing them. You could use it to get hard clear marks, but that takes the fun out of the hardest achievements (and unlocks) in the game, so I would personally only use this for normal mode clears.

Tainted Azazel is kinda obnoxious at times. That sneeze has no range, and sometimes the enemies will bounce back into him. Like I did Greedier mode in a couple attempts, but I’m struggling with the main game. My best run I barely made it to Mega Satan’s second form.

Like a lot of the tainted characters, if it's a mechanic you can ignore, just ignore it and play normal. Tainted Maggie, Tainted Eve, Tainted Azazel, Tainted ??? you can just ignore their dumb gimmick poo poo and build a regular OP run. Tainted Maggie is a bit harder because of the disappearing health, and Tainted ??? is a bit easier because it's not a disruptive gimmick and you can learn ways to make explosions out of the non-bomb items in the cache.

I just noticed I'm missing the Delirium hard kill with Eden so I've been aiming for that. I want someone to calculate the odds of getting Mercurius as a starting item two times in a row, because that was some nice serendipity.

Pentaro posted:I just noticed I'm missing the Delirium hard kill with Eden so I've been aiming for that. I'm not sure but I can give you an idea. The way it works is the game performs this process 100 times: 1. Generate a random number between 1 and 732 2. If the player does not already have an active item, and the item with that item ID is an active item that does not have the noeden tag, give the player that item. 3. If the player does not already have an passive item, and the item with that item ID is a passive item that does not have the noeden tag, give the player that item. There are 9 passive items with the noeden tag and 171 active items total. Thus, the odds of getting Mercurius on any given Eden run is equal to the odds of rolling a 732 on a 732-sided die, but you get to reroll until you either roll higher than 180 or until you have rolled 100 times total. I don't know how to calculate that. The odds of it happening twice in a row is that number to the power of two.

Pentaro posted:I just noticed I'm missing the Delirium hard kill with Eden so I've been aiming for that. (note: these calculations may be wrong, same for # of passive items, so take this with a grain of salt) With all DLC, 547 passive items are in the game, with 9 of those under the "noeden" flag so Eden can never start with those. This of course leaves 538 possible passives that Eden can roll (assuming they are unlocked). Eden rolls don't check for weights or values and are true RNG, so *technically* it's (1/538)*(1/538) if you don't count active items in the roll as those don't affect your passive item and you have to hit the Mercurius ID# before any other passive anyway, that comes to: 1 in 289,444 to roll the same item in subsequent runs, or about 0.00034549% There's a whole article about Eden Generation that's too much for my brain to understand bucksmash fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Apr 21, 2023 |

I only have a few Hard marks left to go, and I thought these achievements would pop when I actually had them all, so it caught me off guard. Got a half-screenshot, though!  (I use EID but no cheating.  )

Entirely understandable; his workload with Repentance must have been absolutely massive, and it already delivered way more than anyone could have reasonably expected. Hopefully the modders will step in and do some work on the Void, now that an official rework is not on the horizon anymore.

Frankly I'm surprised he even held out this long. Hopefully whatever he moves onto next, it's something nice. A drat shame about the void rework but most of the game is in a relatively good state at least. Shame that one's a big blemish.

Well since it doesn't seem like Repentance will get anymore updates for a while, I took a look at the code and dug out most of luck's effects on items. Surprised this wasn't dug in too thoroughly before (then again, the game does have debugger protection, so I guess I'm not too surprised.) If I missed anything, feel free to let me know. Most of Luck's effects are actually exponential, so you won't get high activation rates unless you pile on the luck. That being said high fire rate can mitigate that since you roll the dice multiple times, and yes multi tear shots like Mutant Spider help out as well. It was kind of funny seeing how the luck code differed for certain eras of items. Repentance handles things differently, so they actually end up rounding up instead of down like in most cases. And some of the fan submitted items from the AB+ era have their own different mechanics as well. Oh yeah I'm aware that Ludo + Mom's Eye/Loki's Horns, Broken Modem, and C-Section + Technology + Some unique Luck effects are missing. Don't ask me about those. I took one glimpse at each of piece of code associated with those interactions and decided I wanted absolutely nothing to do with them.  Broken Modem especially sent me fleeing for the hills.

Psychedelicatessen posted:Black Tooth and A Lighter are affected by luck but Ice Cube isn't??? Oh no, it does. I just missed that one. It's a simple 20% + (Luck * 2%) (0% at -10 Luck, 20% at 0 Luck, 100% at 40 Luck).

I'm mostly surprised that luck affects that many trinkets, especially since EID just says "20% chance to light enemies on fire". Some of the values are also very interesting, especially requiring 85 luck to max out fear shots compared to the much lower luck needed for maxing out tooth shots or euthanasia.
