"Bird's eye is not that great" NL just so you know Bird's eye and Ghost pepper are essentially passive versions of Red Candle and Blue Candle. They are both top tier and scale off your luck and damage, the only difference is how the fires behave; red Bird's eye fires dissipate after dealing damage or blocking shots meaning they can stick around longer, while Ghost Pepper's blue fires dissipate quickly over time but have a higher cap of how much damage they can do as a result.

[@NearoC]

Glad to see this got upvotes, I leave a comment every time he puts out this bird's eye slander too. A while back he claimed it didn't scale with luck which is I think where he got this notion from... which has no basis in reality

[@Holloweggshell]

Bullet hell attacks only get screwed up by slowing effects if only part of the attack is affected, for example with censer. Stopwatch should still be great since it's global. Thanks for the pogged content as always!

[@LilyVan7]

Censer is also not that bad on the beast since the aura is so large and consistent. The worst offender is night light, since you are constantly shining the light in different directions

pound of flesh restock affects the shop so i assume its based on the position and not just anything that costs money

Shard of Glass might be one of the most actively harmful items to take.

[@kyleyjs]

eh it really isn't that bad on most runs, really will only make an impact if you pick it up on the first few floors tho.

[@sweetandsaltyminx7310]

@@kyleyjs I mostly mean that it is just a straight liability with very little upside. Just makes it easier for you to mess up and die if you don't find red hearts while doing basically nothing else. Even Isaac's Heart has uses here and there compared to Shard of Glass.

[@TheShut1]

@@sweetandsaltyminx7310 But you have big chance that you'll drop full red heart when you take damage (similar to Old Bandage) so it's not hard to stop bleeding and it helps you with Devil Beggars and Donation Machines.

[@sweetandsaltyminx7310]

@@TheShut1 I'm not sure how big the chance is since I have had several runs where it drops nothing and I just bleed out. It sounds like just an objectively bad version of Old Bandage, it's an F- tier item imo.

[@TheShut1]

@@sweetandsaltyminx7310 It's 25% according to PlatinumGod, while Old Bandage scales with luck (50% at +29). It is not advisable to have it when you only have red hearts or only spirit hearts tho. I also think it's really strong with T.Magdalene or Candy Heart and tears upclose do more damage than you think. More like D item (on a scale where E is the worst and IBS and TMTRAINER are there)

Hey NL, what are these behavioral finance podcasts you mentioned?

[@mangostestes9371]

It(Shard of Glass) would be much better tho if you also have like Old Bandage, you'll have more chance to get a red heart every time you get hit from Shard of Glass. Also like when ur bleeding u do more damage as well....though it's kinda dangerous especially to lose any red hearts in worst possible way

[@AlexMcMund]

I wonder how much damage was actually from shard of glass. Considering all those spirit hearts he lost while still being full red hears probably not very much
