Tiny Planet is pretty binary in effectiveness- if you have a shot type that passes through objects like ghost tears it gives a surprisingly large boost to effective area at the cost of max range which usually isn't a huge cost, but if you have standard tears it's effectively unusable in 90% of rooms because a single rock in the same zip code will just delete your shots. I've had a couple good runs where it turns a decent attack into a room-clearing blender of death but unless you already have a way around its downside I wouldn't take it.

Tiny Planet showed up tonight and the help text suggested it grants spectral tears now, so maybe it's much less trash than it used to be on its on own. On a semi-related note, Bag of Crafting showed up on a floor I generated with Pay To Win. Didn't realize that BoC just generates the pedestal on the floor for non-Tainted Cain characters. That MASSIVELY synergizes with Pay to Win in a hilarious fashion. Have a new appreciation for Pay to Win now. It was pretty good before, but BoC makes it too good.

After about 160 attempts to kill Mother as tainted Lost, it’s amazing how easy the game seems with everyone else. Also, it took me taking Damocles about 3 times before I realized you had to activate it to get the double items.

I was about to complain that in my fourty million failed tainted lost runs i haven't seen that item, but I just came across it and managed to actually go all the way to Chest/Mega satan. First post marks filled out on tainted lost after all this time. I also came across vanishing twin pretty early and grabbed it not knowing what it does. I looked it up after and was pretty worried having an extra boss could spell instant death but by that time I was killing stuff pretty fast. So with sword of damacles and vanishing twin, I was getting 4 pedestals every boss room. The Fattest PI fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Jan 22, 2024 |

My latest Lost run can be summed up as follows. Me grabbing Soy Milk: "this is going to ruin my build but I don't care" Me grabbing Sacred Heart and Trisagion 5 minutes later: "oh my god I'm BLIND I'm so dead" Me one combat later: "oh wow everything just instantly dies, who needs to see"

For some strange reason I just bought this game last week for the first time. I did, of course, buy the (final?) expansion as well. I got a couple of wins with characters down, so I'm doing some of the challenges for variety, and HOLY poo poo did I just bad a win of purist that I can only describe as fraudulent. Sold out early for brimstone, got guppy afterwards to extend my lifespan a bit, then lucked into placebo and a Luck Up pill. Once my luck was around 15 or so I found binge eater, and a couple of floors later, a proper arcade lmao. Big shoutout to safety scissors for making sure I always had enough bombs!

For the longest time I would never reset a run because you never know when the item room or secret room or other thing would turn a poo poo run into some crazy OP build. I'm not patient anymore though and now reset if I have nothing but trash at the end of the basement for most characters. And that's also why it took me forever to accidentally unlock half soul hearts (spoilered only because new players are suddenly posting here lol)

getting no damage ups is maddeningly common in my experience. At least you had brimstone, though. Good effects can compensate for bad damage until you hit boss hell at the end of the game. this is why I play painfully slow squeezing blood from a stone every run. drives my viewers insane sometimes, spending 15-20 minutes per floor minmaxing the ever loving poo poo out of everything, but more often than not it kicks off that snowball effect leading to utter annihilation by the end. There's usually enough mechanics for "gambling" on extra treasures or resources to get something workable going, but it does take a while to identify possibilities and work out order of operations to maximize payouts/minimize risk. this play style is tainted cain's whole gimmick though and I love him for it. I found a stupid cheap recipe for caffeine pill (5 coins, 3 hearts) and the halo (5 coins, 2 pills, 1 bomb) last night and proceeded to casually steamroll through the run. I wanted something truly broken, but just getting a steady stream of size down and all stats up the whole run trivialized most encounters.

Here’s a tip: if you’re standing directly to the left or right of it when it jumps toward you, it will jump over you. So you stand right next to it and pour shots into it until it jumps over you, then reposition and repeat.

Finally got a Hush kill with Tainted Cain, by going through a hell of my own creation.  See if you can figure out why I'm in hell. The main relevant item that's missing from this screenshot is Placenta. I got a run with Strange Key (note that it's swallowed by Marbles) but I went the whole time quite desperate for damage ups. In Womb 2 I started to get the impression that there's no way that my build could possibly beat Hush with the pitiful damage I had, and in desperation I crafted Blood Oath. That's a damage up, right? It's okay, I have The Sun to heal back up after getting a big damage boost. But by the end of Womb 2 I was on 1.5 hearts out of 10 heart containers. But I had Placenta. Time to play the waiting game. But wait! I also swallowed Mom's Toenail! So to get the max possible damage up, I had to wait for Placenta to trigger 17 times while dodging Mom's foot every 20 seconds. Jesus christ. I took this screenshot about halfway through the process. I actually got hit 2-3 times after taking this screenshot, so I missed out on the eternal heart and had to regen even more. I finished the run at ~1:37. I think I was farting around at the end of Womb 2 for at least 45 minutes. But thanks to the extra damage, Hush went nice and smooth. Worth it. . . ? I'm finally done with TCain.

Lost really shows how utterly bullshit some of these final bosses can be, good god. Delirium has the telefrags near the end its life bar, Mother can just perform two attacks in sequence that leave you with nowhere to dodge after kiting her homing shot strings around/dodging the bouncing invunerable fistula. It really does seem like the intended solution to these problems is "bring a build so ludicrously overpowered you kill them before forced damage happens, otherwise eat poo poo and die."
