tfw I main Cain

I don't know why some people skip pills.

PRETTYYYYYYY FLY

I'M EXCITED

unlock Jacob and Esau

game now starts freezing (never happened before in BoI)

Little jerks

nvm I found the issue I think

what mod is this?

Yes, I take every single pill I find to find out what it does, how did you know?

meant for but no problem to you too

RANGE DOWN

always eat pills
fuck it

They call that "microdosing" in liberal states
Edmund is from the deep south tho

its called hilbilly heroin for a reason
flyover is pill country also meth, for a blanced diet

...

It was being around all those dumb inbred hicks that inspired Edmund to do better

I always take pills and I never regret it until I do

Amensia horse pill unidentifys all your pills

can you really call any part of California the "deep south"

QUESTIONY QUESTIONY QUESTIONY

100% the portable ones countless steams

Get a steam deck

Grab Isaac+DLC

Countless nerfed items

Insane room lay-outs, feel almost impossible to avoid damage the further I go into the game

Certain synergies feel worse(PHD+Pill bottle)

What the fuck happened to this game, why is it so damn hard now.

FEELS LIKE IM WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Edmund and Tyrone started getting really obsessed with Isaac being a hard game, but the only way to really make Isaac hard is to make it a fucking dredge slog to play through

Bind the R keyboard key to one of the back paddles on Steam Deck for Isaac, you'll want it

I know it's nitpicky as hell but it annoys me a little that the newer pills they added have a different tone to the narrator compared to the Rebirth ones.

did the artist who designed siren turn out to be a shotacon or am i mixing people up

I've been playing flash Isaac.I'd recommend all Isaac fans to at least try it, everything is totally different to some degree.

special item system means you might get one or two good DPS increasing items per run, meaning you're often a lot weaker generally

lack of synergies means your runs don't spiral into OP stomps

boss encounters that actually take time instead of dying in seconds

fighting mom actually takes a little effort

the scale of things is different, rooms generally feel bigger

smaller item pool means strategies like going for guppy is much more consistent

there's a lot of little tiny details that didn't make the transition into rebirth, which I wonder were intentionally removed or skimmed over

danny B soul

Like there's distinct differences to this game that just don't make it "current Isaac but worse" which Rebirth's previous versions essentially were.

(FOR A WHITE GUY)

Isn't Eternal edition complete ass tho?

All the bullshit of Eternal Edition is optional, you don't have to enable hard mode. I'm saving that for later when I've unlocked everything.

BALLS

i wish they didnt add a cap to the amount of hearts you could get
would make devil rooms a considerable choice at the very least instead of just always going angel rooms for better items for free

i remember a lot of items being outright broken in the flash version like brimstone actually did damage, blue flies did at least twice the dmg they do in rebirth

book of rev was a game winning item

They should make the cap six heart containers. Twelve is too many.
I want to see a full comparison between Flash and Rebirth, like everything down to the tiniest details, because it feels like there's a lot of invisible differences between the games that aren't really documented well
Still kinda is in Rebirth.

Now that you mention that, the fuck happened to the sound effects? Brimstone sounds awful now.

They hired a guy named Joey Kuras to do all the new sound effects as of Repentance

But brimstone is an old sound effect...

NTA but unironically no. Eternal hearts are plentyful, goes well with no health cap. Eternal challenge rooms give an easier access to angel items. At most some eternal enemies can be annoying and their tear spam can lag the game but otherwise it's not too bad.
Also no joke, but eternal isaac and blue baby are actually easier than their regular counterparts.

OK sorry for misconstruing I will explain the full thing then because this is my autistic interest.
Edmund worked with a sound designer named Jordan Fehr for a lot of things before and up to Isaac, a lot of sounds from Isaac being borrowed from Super Meat Boy and earlier titles.
Jordan Fehr was axed sometime before Rebirth I believe for similar reasons as Danny Baranowsky, likely a royalties thing.. For Rebirth they reused a lot of his sound effects or made new ones, which I believe Ridiculon made these sounds.
This is weird though because Jordan Fehr wasn't involved and yet they're reusing his sounds, and I don't think the copyright to them was ever given to Edmund given how lax he was with the business aspect of gamedev at the time. So the new sound effects may have been made to mask this but they weren't entirely comprehensive. Very weird and potentially legally dubious.
Also Anitibirth reuses a ton of sound effects from Super Meat Boy and this was brought into Repentance.
But for Repentance they got an official sound guy, Joey Kuras, who has recently now done a bunch of sounds. And for Repentance there's a lot of variations of the brimstone effect, and with that someone elected to probably replace the sound again so they're all consistent.
And now there's another wave of sound effects done by him because I guess they wanted to enrich the soundscape of the game.
So that is the story of Isaac's sound design.

flash was great back in the day but the downgrade when going from rep is staggering
fucking flash isn't even able to keep secret rooms open. how did we live like this?

the biggest travesty in isaacs sound design was not keeping the original soundtrack, theres an entire generation of isaac gamers who have never experiences OG isaac OST

fucking flash isn't even able to keep secret rooms open. how did we live like this?

Not a big deal. Just think, how often do you go back to secret rooms anyway?

It's just from a different time when it was Edmund and his programmer minion were making a quick fun game jam game together. They didn't have a whole studio to throw at remaking it into a professional product.
Edmund and Florian knew Flash best so they just used the tools they had at hand to make the game they wanted to. Because it's such a personal and honest product I greatly treasure it.
The game is far from unplayable, you can get used to some things like the 30FPS or the secret rooms closing. It was good enough to get enough momentum for a remake to be made in the first place. If you go into it expecting some jank it's perfectly enjoyable.
also i drew that image...memories from Repentance's release...
We have Isaac Sacrilege now so it's just not a problem to me anymore tee bee aich.

too bad it runs like shit

Flash games are in my veins so I'm used to the limitations.

I 100%ed flash when it was new (I didn't go back for the extra shit they added post-Rebirth) and Rebirth/Afterbirth/Aftherbirth+ as they came out but Repentance filtered me hard. I fucking hate Jacob and Essau so much.

Super Secret Rooms used to have their own separate jingle from regular Secret Rooms when discovered.

They have the same jingle in Rebirth.

Absolutely no mods that bring it back exist, and people have largely forgotten about it.

I don't know why I'm being autistic about this one detail, but man I want it back.

Flash also had the Challenge Room jingle and My Little Unicorn having its own theme rather than just speeding up the music. The sins had their own little jingle before fighting them.
Also it took until Repentance for Super Secret Rooms to get their own theme. Challenge Rooms had a unique theme for the regular and boss variants.
So much for a polished, 100% faithful remake...

i struggle to understand why anyone would enjoy this ugly, soulless game with visuals akin to a a regurgitation

What the fuck characters do I use for Greed mode? Most of Ultra Greed's unlocks seem bad and I can't keep using Azazel

Steakmund will burn for these and more, surely.

The game is trying to spare you the misery

until you unlock Greedier just use all of the characters who have it the easiest, because you'll have to do them again later
use Lilith, Isaac, Maggie, Judas, etc.

But enough about [Insert AAA game here]

IVE GOT BALLS OF STEEL

Bethany sex

danny's soundtrack is overrated and ridiculon is better
t. isaachead since 2011

furry trash

Let's put it to the test.
strawpoll.com/e6Z2AkrvXgN

The non-meme answer is that Edmund hates fun.

danny's a fucking faggot for abandoning ed and not allowing his smb tracks in the modern ports because of "money"

dannybstyle.blogspot.com/2015/10/regarding-my-super-meat-boy-soundtrack.html

he may be a faggot but he makes good music
many such cases!

Steakmund actually fucking hates people enjoying their playthroughs which is why he adds meme shit like piloting babies for coop to pretend it makes up for nerfing everything
chew slower

I knew quitting the original flash version back in 2012 was a good idea. I occasionally go back into these Isaac threads every year or so trying to find a reason to get back into it and I never do. It's just not the roguelite for me, but some small part deep down feels bad for not liking it. Couldn't explain it.

Not only is that a child, it's also Isaac wearing a costume so that makes you both gay and a pedo

I play with the mod that starts you in the first treasure room. I see bad item, I press R, simple as

Bob's Brain

Needs an extended poll with fanmade soundtracks like Antibirth, Excelsior, and Pittsbourne's OST.

gg

Antibirth's is the only fanmade soundtrack that matters, sorry. We don't need more kids tinkering with FL Studio just because they have a hateboner for Ridiculon.

I use one that spawns 4 items in the first floor. You can only grab one of them.
Its nice to have options.

play brains! it's not that bad you just have to remember he exists

see

Danny = Antibirth >>>> Ridiculon

literally nobody likes ridiculon

lmao

The redpill was a joke about Indians skin color. If you choose the blue pill which is a white eye color, nothing changes. But if you take the Indian red pill. You win! And the girl in the red dress was another joke. When a woman “wears” an Indian as clothing, it means she’s benefitting from slavery. So this was a form of cuckolding basically where they say women will get tons of free stuff. And neo fucks trinity which was another cuckolding humiliation fetish joke because trinity is a Christian metaphor. So they’re saying Neo has sex with god, not real sex. Neos name is literally about kneeing a hole, he’s weak to girls and never gets one. Agent smith was about smithing, people trying to brainwash you using their delusions. And they couldn’t really supply an adequate ending, so they just say Neo powers up and turns into a magical being or whatever shit they made up on the spot to justify forcing their homo erotic fantasies on us in a subliminally brainwashing way.

jesus

I think Ridiculon peaked with Living in the Light, and that it's pretty much his only good song.

ridiculon isn't terrible but why did he have to compose for isaac

youtube.com/watch?v=zvQXH8War6o

Are those repeated generic fart guitars supposed to sound good?

El huervo was a better choice desu
youtube.com/watch?v=pOu8_ltnRBM

Ridiculon is a duo consisting of two people, Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans (and very often Matthias' wife, Carla Kihlstedt), stoopids.
Also I like the 2015 Meat Boy soundtrack.
I don't know why they had to make it a collab, frankly Scattle's output paled in contrast to his work on Hotline Miami and Laura Shigihara is a far better singer than composer for the few compositions she did.

Nah, Danny B's Cotton Alley music was one of his very few forgettable tracks, Laura Shighira's version is an improvement, and finally has a different version for dark world.
Everything else though? Yeah Danny mogged them hard.

I'm going to test something.
I have posted this image of a character from this video game. There will be a reply to this post not made by me. It will contain strong language. For observers, please take note as to how long it takes for this reply to materialize.
In addition, I will also supply a statement with this post:

"Siren sex."

Thus begins the experiment.

cutie patootie

It's cool that they did dynamic music for rooms filled with enemies but still, massive downgrade compared to flash and antibirth.

interesting proposition. however, you should still end your life at the earliest convenience, seizing your forever, as you are known as a person who is sexually attracted to transgendered individuals.

You have achieved Dead God on all 3 save files, haven't you anon?

Three minutes and thirty two seconds is the time, and I seem to have caused a different reaction using a self-aware catalyst post.
Fascinating...

I got this, it's pretty cool I think

I like flash Isaac a lot but I will say that I am SO glad there aren't any challenge characters in it, because that game is NOT balanced around never taking a hit, even more so than Rebirth

yeah really, the [blank] Boy achievements in Rebirth are such a cinch to get but getting them in Flash fucking sucks

it's just a question of getting brimstone early enough

press r until op combo that steamrolls game

roguelikes take skill and knowledge

Dark Boy was the last achievement I ever got for Flash isaac. It took years later and after getting all the new hardmode achievements were added to get that one. I swear so many rooms are just fucked in the depths/necropolis even Mom will just randomly damage you sometimes after you kill her for no reason nothing you can do
