@OrigamiRobot Essentially.

Though @StrixVaria's point about more doctors would also help. It's just that with a provincial budget for health care, you can't simply add more doctors. Something else has to be cut.

Q: Mine Craft installations problem

Please don't laugh at my idiocy but I am having a problem that I can't figure out. When I try to install Minecraft using the official .jar file, it won't download all of files from the servers. 404 errors.

Sterno

NOOOOOOO

Except for the eye combustion part.

RedRiderX

@Sterno Well it depends how much dragon age you can get through before then

Origami Robot

@5pike How many item rooms have you missed due to lack of keys?

5pike

@OrigamiRobot In this run? 3

Origami Robot

Oof

5pike

8:15 PM

I hope the key drops on hard get fixed, so that you at least get 1 per floor. Because this is agony

I can deal with no health drops from bosses, but no key drops? Nope

Arperum

@5pike It's maddening when that happens. I've had it a couple times myself.

Origami Robot

I get mad when I miss one item room due to lack of keys.

I would rage quit at 3

5pike

@OrigamiRobot I restarted

Couldn't deal with it

Origami Robot

Hell, I'd probably restart at the 2nd one.

murgatroid99

@5pike It is hard mode

5pike

8:19 PM

@murgatroid99 Yeah, but some keys, please

murgatroid99

Everything drops less

5pike

Make it at least 1 key per floor.

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 That's what she said?

murgatroid99

@5pike that's not even the case on normal

Origami Robot

One time I finally found a key for the item room and I accidentally ran into a key block. I was so mad.

5pike

8:20 PM

@murgatroid99 I'm normally swimming in keys on normal

murgatroid99

the expected number of keys per floor is greater than 1, but that doesn't guarantee anything

I've definitely missed item rooms on normal due to lack of keys

5pike

Ok, the game gave me moms knife and the pact...Thanks

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot I swear, 95% of keyblocks are directly across from room entrances JUST to cause this.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord This

Fucking keyblocks

murgatroid99

I once ran into two different key blocks in the same room by accident.

5pike

8:22 PM

@Powerlord I run into spikes a lot because of this

murgatroid99

on two different trips through the room

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 I've done that

So much rage

@5pike I don't run into spikes

Because Azazel

murgatroid99

though, I was on the womb, so it didn't matter much

@SaintWacko if you only play Azazel, you're not going to unlock much

badp

@SaintWacko I don't think lump of coal does anything

Powerlord

@5pike How appropriate.

SaintWacko

8:23 PM

@murgatroid99 What do you mean?

Powerlord

@badp Actually, it makes your tears do more damage the farther they travel. Or so it seems.

5pike

@Powerlord Yes. Sometimes I run into the same spikes, because I'm rushing..

Powerlord

@5pike 5 pikes?

SaintWacko

Oh, are unlocks specific to characters?

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko That's what made the keyblock incident ever more infuriating.

murgatroid99

8:24 PM

@SaintWacko most items are unlocked by beating one of the late game bosses with one of the characters

5pike

@Powerlord Wait...That could be right...

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 Or the boss rush room.

5pike

Nope... 11 pikes

murgatroid99

There's one unlock for beating each of Mom's Heart, Sheol, the Dark Room, the Cathedral, the Chest, and Boss Rush with each character

Origami Robot

If I have to use not-Azazel to unlock it, it's not worth unlocking.

murgatroid99

8:26 PM

And that's probably most of the items you can unlock

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 ...but strangely not the alternate boss for The Chest.

Origami Robot

Azazel ruined character selection for me.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot What does he do that's special?

Powerlord

@StrixVaria Starts with short-ranged Brimstone

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Flies

Powerlord

8:27 PM

and can take more than one hit.

Origami Robot

Has a super powerful attack.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot if you want to play a severely limited form of the game, that's your call, but there are a lot of very valuable items that you can unlock using other characters

Arperum

also: black hearts instead of red hearts to start

murgatroid99

Basically: easy mode

Powerlord

Gah, I still don't have It Lives unlocked. Need to play more.

Origami Robot

8:28 PM

@murgatroid99 All I need is Damage Up items.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot If you just want to play easy mode, that's your call

badp

@Powerlord I mean, not with brimstone-alikes

at least seemingly

5pike

Oh this run is so much better know. Some keys, moms knife and nice damage...

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 That has no bearing on my decision. I don't remember any of the unlocks being things I want to use.

StrixVaria

Question for BoI people: Is the game balanced enough that you can, with competent play, win literally any run, or are there going to be games where the RNG shits on you and you don't stand a chance?

5pike

8:31 PM

And now I am Guppy..

GG

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria the RNG can shit on you pretty bad, but you can always reset, and if you're really good you can usually win anyway

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria I'd say you can win any run.

5pike

@StrixVaria You can win every run with skill. Can take a very long time, though.

Sconibulus

there are probably ways the rng can shit on you unwinnably

Origami Robot

Given enough skill and determination.

Powerlord

8:32 PM

@Sconibulus Like, say, by giving you the Planet upgrade?

StrixVaria

I remember not playing BoI for very long, but I didn't particularly dislike it. I just didn't get into it.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot I once got a run with one of those spider hive guys that drops a big spider when it dies, but the champion version that respawns if you don't kill it fast enough. I couldn't kill the spider it dropped and it before it respawned.

StrixVaria

You guys talking about it constantly is making me want to try it.

murgatroid99

because I had damage down effects

Powerlord

@StrixVaria Do be aware that the remake is probably easier than the original.

murgatroid99

8:33 PM

@Powerlord It has a wider range

5pike

@StrixVaria Let's say you have god-like reflexes, are very patient and take no items whatsoever - You can win, but it will take ages (because you do so little damage)

murgatroid99

The Lost on hard mode is absolutely harder than anything in the original

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 Oh, there's also the soy milk situation that @SaintWacko ran into the other day.

murgatroid99

@5pike sometimes, if your speed is too low, avoiding damage is actually impossible

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot I thought that's what @murgatroid99 meant.

Origami Robot

8:34 PM

2 days ago, by SaintWacko

It reduces my dps so far that I literally cannot kill those red things that regenerate

5pike

@murgatroid99 Normal Isaac should have sufficient speed

Whatever, this is just theoretical.

murgatroid99

@5pike there's always speed down pills

5pike

@murgatroid99 You take no items

None

26 secs ago, by 5pike

Whatever, this is just theoretical.

Origami Robot

But in that case one could argue that "know when not to take items" is a skill.

Arperum

soy milk is terrible, I just picked it up, could brimstone anything to death in one hit, decided to kill myself to add the item to my collection and never bother again.

Sconibulus

8:36 PM

@Powerlord Don't know about that, just know that most roguelikes with randomness have the potential to become unwinnable

badp

@StrixVaria It's easier to like now that, no matter how high you crank up the crazy, the game somehow still always runs at 60+ FPS

The original BoI never ran well on anything.

murgatroid99

@5pike usually, people distinguish between items (the things on pedestals), pickups (bombs, hearts, pills, etc), and trinkets (the things in the lower left)

Powerlord

@Sconibulus The Planet makes aiming very difficult.

badp

@Powerlord About the only thing I like about the planet is how it makes you shoot away from your enemy

5pike

@murgatroid99 Yeah, but I mean literally no item whatsoever. Not even boss drops (except maybe the polaroid/negative).

Powerlord

8:37 PM

@badp It's also really handy with Azazel.

badp

Azazel is basically cheating

bbl dinner

murgatroid99

@5pike I'm trying to say that you seem to be using the word "item" to mean something different than people normally do when talking about BoI

5pike

I see.

Origami Robot

@OrigamiRobot Dark bum used to give 1 soul heart for 1 heart. Now it gives 1 soul heart for 1.5 hearts

Origami Robot

Also, demoman was a fun challenge, and basically the only time dr fetus is actually good

Origami Robot

Yea, 1:1 is super broken

murgatroid99

even 1:1.5 is pretty amazing

Origami Robot

I think it would be fair if it was 1 soul heart for every 2 red heart items (regardless of value) you picked up

murgatroid99

But the current implementation has such an amazing synergy with Humble Bundle

Q: By how much does the Magic attribute increase attack?

According to the ingame description the Magic attribute increases the attack of mages. But it doesn't say by how much.

Enemy collision response has been massively improved. The previous system had issues with enemies bouncing off of each other, or seemingly charging/popping instantaneously from one position to another (many times directly into the player). There were also issues with knocking enemies back, where enemies could block each other, forming an almost impenetrable wall. The new system fixes these issues.
