There are some rooms in Isaac that are all but guaranteed to hurt you unless you meet a very specific requirement. I've only played 25 hours in the Gungeon, but I feel like there isn't "unavoidable" damage in the same way.

Anyway. I like this LP, Scruffy! I learned a lot of stuff only from your first video, like the "don't pick up keys before the store" advice and ranking chests. Looking forward to seeing more!

I've been having a lot of trouble since I have to use a controller. I'm left-handed, so mouse + wasd doesn't usually work for me, but on the controller it doesn't seem like you can just plop the crosshairs on a boss. I'm always having to constantly fight with one stick to aim while I'm dodging with the other and I'm getting wrecked pretty bad. I wonder if the people having a lot of difficulty are in a similar boat.
I tried KB&M after playing 20h with a controller and found it harder (right handed). However, I feel like I'm progressively getting better so I think EtG just has a very steep learning curve.

Yeah, that might be it too. I find I play really impatiently and I probably could just wait for an opening to shoot instead of fighting with the crosshairs while I'm dodging and ending up getting hit. It just seems like the bosses are a huge slog if you play that way. Binding of Isaac may have gotten me a lot of bad habits for this game too. I wish that every time I moved, it didn't reset where I'm aiming though. I'd rather strafe!
I'm not sure I get how you're playing, do you aim in a direction and then let go of the stick? Because then I can totally see how aim would reset. You can absolutely strafe if you keep the aim stick pulled in the direction you want to fire in. My co-op partner had the same problem, and if you're a PC KB&M player first it's probably going to come down to breaking a habit, sorry!

You think Hoji is gonna want his mask back?

I'm sure there's a million other Devolver Easter eggs in this game if I just look close enough, this one just stood out to me.
Hell, there's at least one more Shadow Warrior easter egg, but I won't spoil it.

The G(un M)ummy raises a jammed that will run at you but I don't think you get casings from the jammed?

The jammed actually give you more casings but that one probably doesn't drop any because it'd be too easily farmable otherwise.
Yeah, I meant that specific jammed since I couldn't remember the name of it (Spent? Discarded?). Sorry for being unclear.
