One Of The Most Powerful Synergies in Isaac History | Repentance on Stream (Episode 16)

Repentance on Steam: store.steampow...
This came from my Twitch stream on April 2nd, 2021. Follow me to catch me live every day but Saturday: / northernlion
Repentance is finally out and I am streaming a lot of it! I figured it would be a good idea to put the streamed videos in their own separate playlist, hope you enjoy following along with my progress (and streams of consciousness).

[@LukeCorreia]

hey NL, just wanted to thank you for your motivating words. i was on a 36 game loss streak and i thought about how you said the new difficulty spike is a welcome change. now i'm on a 37 game loss streak. thank you again

“If they really wanted to modernize the game they should’ve replaced the Almond Milk with Oat Milk” Hey, I drink Almond Milk. Granted I only started because the expiration date is later than Dairy Milk so I can get more and go to the store less often, but I do like it. Haven’t tried Oat Milk yet, but I did get a recommendation for it so maybe next grocery trip.

Oat milk is delicious. I prefer it over regular milk

with binge eater every time you take the health over whatever item it was before it also gives you a permanent 1 damage up. which means its a small all stats up for you with libra.

To this day, I continue to seek the return of the fabled 'Apple Pie Juice'. Several years ago, I bought a bottle at a store and it was one of the best apple juices I've tried. I never saw it again.

[@honeyproto3455]

Hey, only half way through the video, but Binge Eater leaves you with a permanent +1 to damage, so technically, an all stats up each HP up you get :)

[@lesfrisbees]

Oh man, I just got Binge Eater for the first time in a run today. Really fun item. Hopefully NL figures out that there's a permanent +1 damage. Lots of bad plays in this episode because he didn't know part of the bonus is permanent.

[@robuxyyyyyyyyyy4708]

The stats depend on the food item

[@removelimitbreak7524]

This episodes banter is perfect.

[@icedraggon234]

Binge eater also makes food items give a smaller stats up (depending on the food item) and a damage up, so it would've been better to actually pick up food items in most of those cases, especially with Libra.

[@jatelitherius9842]

Yeah i noticed part of the decaying big stat up was permanent

Why ? Do you use stump multiple times in one room and it becomes stronger?

[@RonnstenEast]

@@BangTheBooce no, but the familars it spawn and do damage and the don't break while ur invincible. Every time u use it you get another and the more you have the more damage you do. So early game it'll kill most regular enemy's and by the time u get to satan it's am instakill

[@lukesmith733]

Best run I have ever seen hands down

[@raynafae]

yo NL, binge eater is extremely good. it leaves you with a permanent plus 1 to damage after the temporary buff decays, and also causes each type of HP up to come with additional stat ups (the dog biscuit is +1 luck and +tears i think, for example). idk if you figured that out later, but libra really obfuscated the stats with its jankiness it effectly makes any item pedestal an optional stat upgrade! it's my favourite secret room item at the moment

Dude no spoilers but it’s actually crazy how much content is in this DLC. I feel like the previous DLC was like... just delirium and some new items, wasn’t it? Apollyon and Lilith maybe?

There’s *spoiler*?”

yeah but also the vast majority of this dlc is a free mod that came out over 4 years ago.

[@morgan2010nucka]

I just wish the update was tied into the main game better. You either go alt path to get new content or don't and it's just the same old Isaac. And it really is disappointing to see how much of the update is just a mod.
