The greatest way to beat T-Laz is not to be T-Laz.

12:31 "here that's just to placate you a little bit" me: thank you, it helped, i knew it was a sticky nickel but i still wanted you to try again, thank you

[@logansmith6342]

I've been watching NL play Isaac for a decade. Ever since the very first episode of the original flash Isaac, through wrath of the lamb, through rebirth, afterbirth, now repentance. Your commentary never fails to amuse me Ryan. Your funniest line that always stuck with me was "Smash mouth, what was your inspiration behind you'll never shine if you don't glow" so hilarious to me that I made "you'll never shine if you don't glow" my senior quote. Anyway, God bless you NL you've enriched my life and given me great joy in bleak times, rock on The NL'ster 🙏😎👍

29:05 Steely Dan - Do it again

[@jamesdulak3108]

Thank you music guy I was curious what weird song NL was mentioning but had no idea what it was.

[@JesseFernandez]

With the randomizer, the character determines how you start the run and the boss determines how you end the run. Before you get 100% you're going after marks and it makes items like dark Judas untakable. Once you don't have to worry about none of that, you can finally enjoy those character changing items 👍

[@alastairdouglas1737]

The game itself follows this rule with the challenges, so I feel like that’s precedent right there

[@Bilson245]

Hey nl just wondering if the frog still likes to hop hop hop?

[@DOGroove]

It jumps in the water!

[@1BlueYoshi]

Dark Bum is bugged as Tainted Lazarus. Each time you Flip, it's heart counter resets. So basically, you won't ever get payouts unless you leave behind every heart on the floor and then don't let Dark Bum pick them up until the end of floor, so you can backtrack and let Dark Bum pick them up without Flipping.

[@BennyMKW]

with how terribly dark bum got nerfed that is such an awful bug

[@DOGroove]

Soul of Laz would have allowed you to take Succubus… not sure if it would have been worth it but Soul of Laz can be useful.

[@maggswastaken]

i think he still hasn't realized it just acts as an extra life if you die while holding it

[@NateCummings]

One day Ed and Nicalis will add in the remaining birthright interactions, and they'll fix T.Laz. They said they would, they wouldn't lie. They're probably just busy with the four souls kickstarter and mewgenics.

[@jalapenobug]

Kilburn is the main one working on the updates rn

[@mityakiselev]

I'm from the future... and I don't know whether to kiss Vihn or slap him

[@clairehickey9368]

Does NL not realise that Soul of Lazarus is basically one guaranteed resurrection in the same room? It's not the best consumable sure, but it has value in quite a few situations.

[@jenlaura3003]

Tainted Laz stole my parking spot and killed my father

[@m.i.a-ethan2421]

He missed the open secret room….

[@NicolaeHolley]

NL watches the finale of Worst Cooks with no context and complains that the finalists have learned how to cook. Yes, that's why you start with episode one, when they all suck and you can mock them as they drop out.

[@Hedgpig]

Yeah stupid chefs * burns poptart *

[@deetvleet]

they should kick out the best chefs so the contestants only get worse on average. That reminds me, there was a singing competition with a similar premise but they told the producers gaslit the contestents into thinking they were actually good singers, and the winner at the end had the truth revealed to her and it was really sad and devestating. I looked it up, it was called Superstar USA, you can find clips on KZbin.

[@aBlackMage]

@@deetvleet NL actually talked about this like a weeks or two ago. Although I have no clue what video, it's hard keeping track when the man pumps out about 200 a day

[@colinpaton3304]

Three minutes and thirty seconds and we’re immediately back to Dumb and Dumber Too banter-and I couldn’t be happier

[@jalapenobug]

I’m pretty sure if he ever got missing poster as Tainted Lazarus he wouldn’t hesitate to kill himself

[@goatman9686]

“The whole earth is covered in dirt which is kind of crazy when you think about it” Blowing my mind bro

[@HarryAyA]

"Back to formula" got me good.

[@2DEKAY]

The fact that Luna will be one so soon makes me feel so old haha I need to have some kids of my own 🤣 sheeeesh

[@owenyoung5705]

The NL luck on corpse 1 with all those soul hearts was nutty

[@meat_rainbow]

Oh thank God NL is watching Survivor. The paradoxical relationship has deepened.

[@Brendan_Myers]

If you're looking for another good survival reality show, Alone is top notch.

[@mazenelsayed2874]

NL you should watch the challenge, it’s like big brother but harder with a more reoccurring cast. Pretty good reality tv ngl.

[@zackaria98]

7:52 my man really didn't go into the secret room and now my night is ruined. Shame on you

[@jonathannorthcutt4132]

Flip needs to be buffed imo to like a 3 room recharge.

[@THEDONKAGE]

Man, tainted Laz fukkin' blows, dude. I'm always so pogged when he gets a transformation item because watching a t.laz run is just flat out *boring.* He's got no fun mechanics or redeeming qualities - he just splits up items so you don't get cool synergies as easily.

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

32:58 and you can just fly over spikes

[@Splintorious]

Big love for the dark Judas play but you could’ve switched and got a 2 heart deal on one of the lazzes for mums knife Dark Jude is probs better than 50% mums knifey tho

[@MegaAwsome555]

He actually could’ve taken both items by switching to the other laz. He had three heart containers and a soul heart so moms knife for 2 hearts and then dark Judas for the 1 red heart and 2 soul hearts deal. Then you got moms knife dark Judas

[@nopenoperson8964]

@@MegaAwsome555 yes, but he would have had to flip twice in order to make that happen.

[@MegaAwsome555]

@@nopenoperson8964 No. Flip to the laz with 3 red hearts and 1 soul heart and that’s enough health to take two deals that each are worth 2 red hearts

[@TMoney2591]

I wanna say the soundtrack song mentioned is Apache Indian's "Boom Shack-a-Lak". It is in English, occasionally a bop, but definitely a signal song that the movie is prolly trash.

[@nativechatter999]

Dark Bum knew what you needed even when you didn't ✊😔

[@garbagechannelngl]

Honorable Mention: Dead Cat is a DEFINENTLY NO item to pick up.

[@soeloasis1900]

Boom Shack-A-Lak by Apache Indian

The other day I watched the Giga Chad theme song and all the comments are just Giga Chad images that have 10k likes.

[@jaja-2740]

Lmao and what’s NL “not being nice” to his tribe mean? Passive aggressively insulting them on an Isaac stream? Maybe if they’re a 5 year old, he’d splash them with water

[@DrFatihD]

8:52 you could flip into more hp laz and take both but whatever you're the one with 4000+ hrs on Isaac
