| The daily achievements are the only ones I have unashamedly used SAM and the achievement sync trick on. gently caress 'em. |

| Bandage girl is not too bad now that the 4 horsemen only drop meat cubes OR bandage balls in one run. So if you find an early book of rev your odds of getting it are decent. Used to be you needed to win 4 coinflips in a row in addition to not getting headless/conquest. |

| Honestly, if you have the skills to get all the achieves for the two losts as well as Jacob and Esau, you shouldn't have too much trouble doing 5 daily wins. Just play slow and safe, and maybe skip a day if it shows the lost or J&E. A lot of the time it isn't even on hard, so stuff will actually drop!!! I have been playing exclusively on hard for the last... 2 years? So deciding to stop being lazy and get the daily achieves done has been weird since I forgot how much kinder the game is with drops on not-hard. |

| i've never played a roguelite game with daily challenges where beating the run itself was ever hard. the hard part is getting a good score. so if you're just concerned about completing the runs, don't be | |

| goferchan posted:I like it too but The End Is Nigh really superseded it for me in every way, and it seems like Tyler Glaiel is a very good development partner for Ed McMillen, which makes me highly optimistic for Mewgenics every time I remember it still is coming out one day |

If you're going for that streak, just don't do a Lost or Keeper run (or even Judas or ??? if you want to be very careful). There's rarely a run outside of those characters where the daily intentionally gives you absolutely nothing and completion is hard. |

I generally agree with you, except that a lot of people in this thread are playing a different game because they've modded out or cheated through the things that give them trouble, and dailies don't allow that. Even without that, someone who's not very good at the game can eventually get a busted enough build to make it through a Lost run or whatever, but might not have the baseline win rate to reliably finish dailies. |

| I feel like The End Is Nigh would have worked better as a full Time Fcuk game, Time Fcuk had such a good aesthetic that probably would have had more appeal than how dull Nigh's aesthetic ended up being. |

| No Wave posted:It's slower and has way worse music than SMB (only because SMB's music is THAT good) and I dont think the world design/visuals are as flavorful - this is also most of what I like about SMB. I dropped TEIN super fast, what about it is better? Not trying to be hostile I'm willing to revisit it. Nah it's a fine question. Visuals/world design are personal preference but I like TEIN's a lot, while I don't find SMB's that memorable. While it takes a while to open up, the level design gets pretty interesting with some clever uses of the interconnected map and a bit of an exploration element, which I like a lot more than SMB's single-screen designs. Really cool endgame too with some surprising/challenging twists that felt like learning about the Dark World's existence in Meat Boy back in the day. also I just prefer the platforming physics; I don't mind it being a little slower and less floaty and don't miss the wall-sliding which never felt very precise |

| That all makes sense. In general I like world maps with chibi avatar better than seamless interconnected world, probably because I heard too much dark souls 1 praise and I'm a freak contrarian. |

| If you really want to go for the 5 dailies in a row but are struggling, you can also take advantage of the curated dailies to get quite powerful starting buffs: https://bindingofisaacrebirth.wiki.gg/wiki/List_of_curated_daily_challenges |

| Never had any inkling the dailies were like that. I learn something new all the time about this dumb game. I just realized recently theres two types of arena rooms and they have different door emblems I never noticed for years. Shits nuts. |

| Tainted Cain has been a pain but I do at least feel like he's a character you can "get good" at, although trying to get a build strong enough for Mother has been rough. I do not expect to ever end up liking T. Lazarus though. Not looking forward to those marks. |

| tainted cain is really easy he's just really terrible to play if you are going for boss rush and hush unless you stumble on a mama mega recipe |
