The Binding of Isaac: Repentance! (Episode 124: Rotten)

[@jamesshirk2492]

You did still have two hearts there at the end but they're rotten hearts so they only counted for a half each

[@robsmith5434]

That is bullshit. What a lame mechanic…

[@turidrowned]

@@robsmith5434 it’s a mechanic he has been actively aware of since he unlocked them. He should have known better than to replace his normal hearts.

[@MrGamingPsycho]

@@turidrowned not a bad way to get to half a heart for the polaroid. Assuming it work if you have 1 rotten heart.

[@PuchuKt]

Its weird because the boss challenge room doesnt open when you have 2 rotten hearts, and I dont know if the polaroid also behaves like if you had normal hearts

[@nativechatter999]

@@PuchuKt it's more like one rotten heart always takes a full heart of damage rather than it counting as a half heart.

[@oh_banana]

NL with Mom's Knife and 12 hearts on the last floor: "This could still lose, don't get me wrong it's a great run and I'm not trying to sandbag, we could still lose." NL with with near default damage on the Womb 2 where his best item is probably his trinket: "This run is a win in waiting."

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

How does this man do it? Even after 10 years of watching his stuff, it just doesn't get boring. Just how?

[@MadDannyWest]

He's a good story teller / explainer, the game is really good too it's almost like watching a TV show that has a "beginning middle and end" formula that we're all familiar with.

I appreciate the discourse on babies in the movie theatre because my roommate and I went to go see the sequel to Escape Room 2 in theatres, and the people next to us were a couple around our age (early to mid 20s) and they brought their baby that literally looked like they delivered the baby about 45 minutes prior

[@id319]

Just for the record NL, Notched Axe has had a complete rework! Now it’s totally different and works kind of like the Forgotten’s bone.

[@alphax-shroom6781]

Hes used it before, but he doesn't respect it cuz it didn't immediately kill the tank af mushrooms when thier heads were down.

[@ivy_47]

@@alphax-shroom6781 Tbf it's not really offensively good anyways from what I can tell; the utility to grab items and break rocks and secret room doors is still so nice though.

[@PROTONPIG]

@@ivy_47 I dunno, I feel like I end up crushing enemies with the notched axe on just about any character. Maybe that's just my preference for melee attacks coming out, but I feel like it's not horrible damage at all.

[@greindes1579]

When he took rotten hearts I knew that it would kill him :c

[@fafnirlord]

Yo have a great start to your week!

[@julianlombardi4821]

You picked up the two rotten hearts just before going into the boss fight when you were already at 1 1/2 hearts. Didn't even clear any rooms to get some fly payout from them lol

[@LeagueOfMagnificentGaming]

Hey mad respect for being up so early and recording! The effort is really appreciated. I dont have a kid but i know how tough it can be to be focused so early. Im loving all the content!

[@moddedsoul677]

Indeed this randomizer is pretty amazing helping NL deliver quality content.

[@thelegalsystem]

The Blind Side is the Crash of sports movies. The Sandra Bullock connection cannot be ignored.

[@Speedswiper]

I saw those rotten hearts and I realized what was about to happen quickly. It was still sad when it came :(

[@Alex-oh1wt]

7:47 You've been gnomed

[@AlexMcMund]

I don't understand how I, who's only interaction with Isaac is his KZbin videos, has a better understanding of something as simple as rotten hearts then he does

[@superoriginalname5110]

3:17 Me, unfamiliar with the way the mechanics work: "Thank you NL"

[@MedicatedThembo]

NL i just want to say that i really appreciate you as a content creator. you're absurdly consistent and your videos and streams always make me super happy. thanks for the company

[@Kaloraan]

I want everyone to know that NL noticed my Topo Chico comment so perhaps we’ll get him to try it soon. So, no day 7 of hoping to get NL to try Topo Chico.

[@TheOdyssey989]

They’re great

[@sweet5304]

That's the power of well organized protest.

[@RazalasTrebla]

Nice. Didn't know topo chico was available in Canadia.

[@tylerhorn2775]

[@krehera]

Damn, NL has got the item effects written on the screen and he STILL can't figure out what they do

[@seto007]

"You've just gotta use your cerebellum." Yep, that ones going in the comedic timing compilation.

[@TheBappin]

i was unfamiliar with the mechanics of the hearts so im glad you talked about it

[@alphax-shroom6781]

The soul of lazurous play

[@robsmith5434]

Should have worked.

[@nativechatter999]

The efficacy of 20/20 on Tainted Maggy is actually questionable since it's a damage down multiplier, which reduces your hug damage. You can argue it's better for bosses, but keeping a Yum Heart charge for the boss gives you 4 free hugs anyways, on top of the health you already have. Just something to consider.

[@TheCornel44]

At 42:32, he says he doesn't want to use the trinket intentionally (unless a situation is concocted where feels right) at 46:42, he uses the trinket on a pointless suicide cause it felt right. NL is very true to himself! Luckily, he will never need that extra life Cereal.

[@definepoetic]

"That's a word you gotta finish" = Pantheon level Eggism.

[@mityakiselev]

> be egg > play as a character that benefits greatly from a red HP build, ideally having a bunch of heart containers and face tanking enemies > take Stan deals > take a damage down > use predominantly your tears > ???????? > *PROFIT* (I swear to God, if I see another KZbinr take deals as tinted Maggie, Imma lose my mind)

[@Saphtism]

the ghost boys were MVP's, wow

[@oh_banana]

Hey NL (and genuinely not trying to be rude) you misread both the Soul of the Forgotten (says it lasts only for the current room) and the Soul of Lazarus (never explicitly says you revive as Laz, it says you revive as yourself at half a heart). Item descriptions are sometimes over-descriptive but they tend to cover relevant edge cases.

[@wpgrunner5]

Never did I think I'd hear Oshawa making it into an NL storyline. Good ol Dirty Shwa. She's Dirty but she's home.

[@0nebulae0]

NL: the flies generate half hearts we can grab if we need to me: sir. SIR. You're about to die

[@deej_dobalina]

i havent seen a northernlion isaac video since rebirth first dropped, this was so fun!! i might have to reinstall one of these days lol

[@pogusmaximus7162]

I highly recommend you do, repentance has changed the game completely and it is incredibly fresh to play even coming from AB+. Lots of new content and interactions if you decide to return.

[@iFkNxLegend]

Things you don't want to hear in bed: "Look at this tiny boy right here"

[@1BlueYoshi]

I think if he just kept Keeper's Bargain this run was a very easy win. All his shop items were bad so he had a lot of money with nothing to use it on. If he had Keeper's Bargain, he could have gotten all of the great Devil items that showed up on this run (whereas by paying with health, he had to choose to only get some of them) and he would have had way more health. Keeper's Bargain is like an extremely niche edge case where Devil Deals can actually be good with T-Maggy, but he didn't take advantage of it here unfortunately.

[@thelegalsystem]

If I recall correctly, everyone had Twister on DVD as well.

[@merthsoft]

I appreciate that you explained the character's mechanics. I still don't fully get all the tainted ones.

No wonder NL can do videos for 10 years about this game. It's so easy to talk over!

[@mico6155]

How many times is NL gonna claim Paul Oakenfolds "Ready Steady Go" is by The Chemical Brothers until he finds out?

[@bagelbaker411]

BOI is never 🎶Easy like Sunday morning🎶.

[@tts283]

I love how eggman, unconsciously, still refuses to play tainted maggy early in the game as intended even though he has a lot of hp and killing by melee spawns hearts 100% while by tears not. "The old man doesnt get it, does he?"

[@TheTC]

The only DVDs I had back in the day were two Ranma ½, Power Stone, Gorillaz, and Star Wars episode 3. Tho we were poor, like yeah we had Xbox but we ain't got no dolby surround sound shit.

[@jonathanwalton9205]

For what it's worth NL, my girlfriend and I went and saw Jungle Cruise this weekend, I went in with low expectations, and I really enjoyed it. I would say it is much better than the reviews give it credit for, and it's not the perfect movie or anything, but well worth a watch.

[@heisunburger]

Rotten hearts count as a half heart, NL

[@williamlancaster4932]

Good morning everyone

[@PacificEgg]

So stapling 1 eye shut doesn't stop you from shooting a tear out of it with 20/20 ?

[@jackkendall6420]

This video is Real.

[@davidgencher4227]

There are towns smaller than Oshawa?

[@duevi4916]

the problem with black feather is just that no items were added after freakin R E B I R T H that contribute to its dmg buff

[@xAmbiience]

The country bit was very good

[@Dithernoise]

Why is it always leo and maggie that result in a low damage trainwreck?

[@francisfranciscano]

Someday NL will learn how to play Tainted Maggie, but today is not that day 🤣

[@GMoneyChuck89]

I don't know. I'm going to be waiting on The Green Knight. I watched some of David Lowrey's films lately and they are insanely slow, and I heard this one is very similar in the way he paces his previous stuff.

[@boomerrawlings]

Falling behind again but glad to enjoy when I can, thank you as always for the content NL

NL has item descriptions and still willfully ignores the -25% damage from 20/20

[@imptwins]

I agree with NL, Repentance is a much tougher game than Repentance.

[@moddedsoul677]

It considered 2 rotten hearts and half a heart each so it was 1 heart in total and 1 hit got u killed.

[@xxsimproxx5601]

Keepers Bargain would have saved you 4 Heart Containers

[@PacificEgg]

What item is showing him secret rooms?

[@theburningruler7279]

20/20 actually said minus 25% damage. Please, read the descriptions NL

“7th play spawns Uriel” Hmm… that’s a weird way to spell Benedict 🤔

[@GilroyIronheart]

Seriously, why did that tears down pill give him like -.7 tears down?

[@bathtubed]

why did you take the trinket that does nothing over the trinket that makes devil deals cost money with like 50 cents

[@samdavidson6274]

Quality content as usual, but could someone explain how he took two hearts of damage at the end? Something to do with rotten hearts?

[@jaiden1121]

Yep exactly that, past the womb rotten hearts take double damage like any other hearts, so if you had two, two are gone now

[@makona2002]

Went and saw the green knight. Didnt like it. It just didn't make sense. Its based off a book so maybe its better in the book?

[@bloodbathmcgrath2467]

wish this man would use the eraser

[@MegasXLM]

This run makes me think I should never take Devil Deals with TMaggie.

[@solh0029]

That's correct, you shouldn't.

[@CylonPlays]

Sigh, once again. Ready Steady Go was not by the Chemical Brothers. It was Paul Oakenfold.

[@asdfnewguy7029]

He's really just gonna play T. Maggie as a regular character huh? I'm sitting here *seething* and the worst part is he's probably gonna win anyway. Edit: Ho my god! He admit it!

[@BoyKiba]

NL, will you try playing new workshop characters? samael and mei seem quite cool and fun :)

[@RekizFilms]

The Rotten Heart Play?

[@Morat48]

NL, now that you are using the item description mod, you might also consider trying the Good Trip mod. It really cuts down on the tedium of having to backtrack for stuff. It made Isaac a lot more fun for me.

[@voidwalker9939]

Ultra bad RNG on this run, the shops were bad and he got so much money on this run that he could have gotten at least 6-7 items. He even fought the two greeds in the secret rooms giving him more shops; still an enjoyable run due to the top tier banter

[@mushroom_gal490]

He could have potentially gotten some value out if it if he'd have kept the item that let's him buy devil deals with money, though

[@SnuggleLabes]

Ehh it’s my first time seeing this character so the explanation wasn’t at least useless xD
