The Binding of Isaac: Repentance! (Episode 119: Stairway)

Can confirm. I met NL at E3 in 2016 and that’s exactly how the conversation went. Glad to still be here watching Isaac.

Almost softlocked on the second floor, what a start

[@zacharia4061]

@Mr Kitrid they did add a lot of shit man. Come one a couple scenarios doesn’t mean there attention to detail isn’t insane.

[@zacharia4061]

@Mr Kitrid I agree that it’s stupid that they don’t believe in quick patches to fix a lot of these simple bugs but I absolutely disagree that it was not worth what we got. Afterbirth+ was quite bad and afterbirth was ok. This is like Isaac 2 in the amount of content. Very worth the sacrifice one and every 50 runs a soft lock.

[@auctoritate8254]

@Mr Kitrid 'no other Isaac release has been this broken.' Did you forget flash Isaac's entire existence? At one point there was a bug where rooms could generate rocks in front of doorways so it would softlock you if you had no bombs, similiar to this softlock, except it would just happen on any regular secret room.

[@jonwaxerino5699]

Just a little info, the item you got in the darkroom, Heartbreak, lets you survive fatal hits by giving you broken hearts

[@bathtubed]

And by the time you die, you'll have 12 broken hearts and you'll die and continue to die on respawn. (At least for some respawns I believe)

[@germanas7898]

You left the walls and ended up in the 2nd secret room. That was also the only place you could bomb to leave, great intuition

[@murkyshadow72]

yeah, just unlucky that the “path back” to the normal rooms was through the 2nd secret room, so i guess if he didn’t have a bomb he woulda been stuck

[@GoodSmile3]

@@murkyshadow72 on my experience it's always connected to the second secret room so having 2 bombs before using Moon? is mandatory. Btw I was hoping he would softlock himself, that hasn't happened in a while.

[@JustAndrewIsFine]

Loved when this happened to me on a daily.

[@MannFace51]

Hope the next patch opens up secret/super secret rooms if the path back goes through them. Also the Mom Fight softlock with The Emperor?

How can you tell that was the only place? Couldn’t it also have been to the left?

[@frankfilmic]

I met comedian David Cross at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

[@sariusmonk]

At around the 17 minute mark you're talking about fan interactions. Man, if I ever met you (and Kate to be fair) and had the nerve to say Hi, if you offered to take a photo I would be so insanely hype, no way I'd refuse! You've been more impactful and awesome in my life that getting a photo with you would be more exciting than getting one with like, Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves would be. Definitely a weird one sided relationship way of expressing it of course, short version, I'd take you up on the photo and be hype, even though it'd just be like, a Tuesday for you.

[@duevi4916]

The german Video NL is talking about is called „Gabelstaplerfahrer Klaus“ It‘s a Video about how to safely operate a forklift and they show very hyperbolic scenes what happens if you do it wrong, I would never have guessed that this is known anywhere else than in germany

[@Sask3187]

It is also just meant as a parody on workplace safety films.

[@drvofoka7033]

[@murkyshadow72]

Btw ryab, that randomizer website can be configured a bit I think. So you can disable rolling all the extra challenges (like no devil/angel) just by ticking some boxes. So yeah you could keep the ones you like (boss rush or whatever) and disable the ones you don’t

The egg is the most self-aware KZbinr I've ever had the pleasure of watching. He knows his demographic in and out I feel like I'm being personally called out in so many Isaac videos it's kinda spooky

[@maverickchen7969]

41:20 heart break will give you some broken hearts when you take a lethal hit, making it so you can only die by getting 12 broken hearts.

[@tts283]

@41:20 NL, you didnt die because of the item Heartbreak. Gives you 3 broken hearts and every fatal hit will be nullified and you would get 2 more broken hearts. Also it gives 0.25 damage for every broken heart and deals 40 damage if it nullified your death. Pretty good item as The lost and tainted Jacob and Essau as it will allow you to take multiple hits even without holy mantle/holy card

[@xxsimproxx5601]

Ahhhhh. I was wondering about that. Thanks.

[@harizwain4969]

ok so the normal room that was almost softlocked was in a secret room that was quite scary if you didn't have a bomb

[@alphax-shroom6781]

Reverse moon led you back to the main floor, Issue being the main floor room you got was the secret room. And without map vision you couldnt see that or where to bomb in. Reverse moon is a trickey card, with a bit of risk, I once used it as tainted Lost, got the item, but then the path back was through a curse room, killing my run.

[@sprankton]

If you make an item that teleports you to a random area of a level, "what happens if they end up in a secret room" should be a consideration. Lucky that you had a bomb.

[@henri28]

The reason you didn't die on mega satan is because of heartbreak, it prevents lethal damage and gives two broken hearts and a dmg up instead

[@solh0029]

"The Moon?" is a wonderful card, but you need to always have a bomb handy in case it leads you back to the super/second secret room, like it did in this video.

[@alphax-shroom6781]

And health in case you need to go through a Cursed room.

[@zane_s812]

Stormy morning Isaac pog on multiple levels

[@covya]

The path the tainted moon card opened back to the regular floor just happened to lead to the second secret room, and you only had a 1/3 chance of picking the right wall to bomb to escape... It should probably open the way out if the path leads to a secret room :P

[@Yeepzor]

21:56 Oh like you're doing right now?

[@ElPared]

Hey NL, just wanted to let you know that the Repentance versions of the tarot cards are actually "upside down" not "tainted". I don't know a lot about tarot, but one of the few things I do know about it is that when a card is drawn, its meaning is different depending on whether the card's art is upright, or upside down. The ? versions of the tarot cards are the game's way of representing that.

[@gferrol118]

This is a great example of repentance feeling a bit rushed. I'm not saying its bad. I'm just saying getting softlocked if you don't have a bomb shouldn't be possible

[@MadaraUchiha289]

That “The Moon?” soft lock shit is so dumb. There’s way too many ways to soft lock yourself in repentance, it’s kinda ridiculous. Luckily Ryan had a bomb and got lucky with where he used it. The card is supposed to lead you back to the regular floor, but if it happens to path towards a secret room then that counts as your exit and it just leaves you there. Seems more likely to happen on the first floor since it’s smaller. I know it’s a meme at this point of “should only take a minute to fix”, but it’s kind of making Ed look bad. When are these things actually getting fixed.

[@elfpi55-bigB0O85]

i dont think astrology is harmful but I don't think it's helping out with the issue that humans think they're the center of the world when there's a pseudo-religion based on destiny where the entire universe is set up to divine the fates of bipedal primates on some rock somewhere. I think that's the part that rubs me the wrong way. The universe doesn't exist for us, it just exists, but people who believe in astrology has to put some kind of special value to humanity's place in the heavens and human-centristism is just a nasty offshoot of industrialization and a large part of why a lot of our animal related industries have such bad treatment of the animals. The mindset extends onto our society too as the ability to recognize ourselves and our close ones as human but fail to apply that same empathy to the slaves making our clothes and mining lithium for our car batteries. Astrology is harmless, but it feeds the human instinct of future-fear and self-obsession which is the source of _a lot_ of suffering, and I think there are better ways to approach the question of reality where you're not trying to force meaning out of the future but instead accept the world as it comes to you.
