My favorite bit from Trumps campaign rally last night

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1001625301263245314?s=21

Trump is retelling his story about MS-13 as enemy occupying army and Trump as liberator of Long Island: "It's like they've been liberated, like from a war...the people are dancing and they're waving and they're looking out their windows and they're waving at the ICE people."

Same thread:

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1001625476581019648?s=19

Friendly reminder that Phil Bredesen's a moderate Democrat who won all ninety-five counties and broke the state record for total votes in his last election for Governor. Bredesen was also previously a two-term Mayor of Nashville. Donald in Nashville acting like Bredesen's some nobody who won't serve them well is a dumb dishonest move.

And it might work on these people who already think Nancy Pelosi is pro-MS-13. Frowny-face.

During a meeting last week with local pastors, Republican Rep. Diane Black raised the issue of gun violence in schools and why it keeps happening.

"Pornography," she said.

"Its available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store." https://t.co/BkG2wRad7y

But it's the Democrats who don't care about facts.

Please don't let her become Governor.

It's actually really funny that you were like somehow calling this comeback before it happened

HaRRicH posted...

(again, don't call it a comeback)

Haha, just had to had some fun with your interview -- I could see how both could be true.

I guess for even being among the best players out there, the win-percentages between the top players and next-to-top players still leads to one-on-one records that are that one-sided? I think I've seen CrystalSaver lose before, but -- while I've seen him as a top players -- I wouldn't have known he or even TA would be expected to beat top-twenty players so regularly.

It was fun to watch bud, probably the biggest comeback I've paid attention to. If you have any links to cruelly-difficult seeds for LoZ races (or something else noteworthy for LoZ), please let me know -- searching didn't help me much, but that had my interest recently.

I like Para's post-game mix of humility ("I think TA beats me in that seed nine times out of ten") and confidence ("If you want me to be honest, I think I'm pretty underseeded").

I also like TA GTFO'ing after finding the silver arrows and quitting in literal flames.

Accusing people of being crooked and liars seems to be moral judgments, and just because Donald doesn't view dishonesty as a moral failing in your argument doesn't mean his voters don't see them as such.

Granted, they voted for him anyway, yes, and those traits aren't the same as murdering.

I've seen conservatives regularly call liberals MS-13 supporters, baby killers, and said Hillary Clinton worshiped Satan and did some soul cooking and ran an underground pedophile ring from a pizza place.

Do you know anyone who believes that pizza place stuff?

I have a real-life friend I grew up with who adamantly defends this theory on my FB wall. Even if it barely comes up in a larger argument, he feels compelled to walk people through his perspective on that.

REVENGE!

I thought the Dark Room played a dirty trick by hiding my health when I finally got there, but I had full health and a Lovers card...still had all my red hearts by the time I beat Mega Satan, probably had a soul heart left too.

Shew. Finally.

I expected an achievement or a new item out of this, but maybe I didn't because I chose a seed instead of going random...? Hmmm.

Thanks for the advice guys! A weight is off my shoulders after playing this game so much.

If you go to The Cathedral you must have the Polaroid to continue to The Chest, where you have a chance to fight Mega Satan. Otherwise the run ends after beating Isaac.

If you go to Sheol, you must have the Negative to continue to the Dark Room. Otherwise the fight ends after beating regular Satan.

Whoa, never knew that. Here's a way I messed up.

WazzupGenius00 posted...

Intentionally harming yourself multiple times in one of those sacrifice rooms that just have a single spike tile in the middle will also increase your chances (and enough times will even make one of those angel fights happen right in the room

baubeta posted...

The only way to skip this step is to use the self-sacrifice room (the room with a single spike in the middle) I believe 11 times. doing so will take you strait to the Dark Room. Uses eight and 10 of the SSR will spawn angels

I rarely use these rooms, but last night's run I did a bunch...I would have guessed a dozen times, but maybe not.

Okay, I'm getting revenge right now brb.

The game has only given me the opportunity to fight Mega Satan once. That was months ago, maybe over a year now.

Today...did not change that, and it's infuriating because I don't know how to increase my odds of getting to the Dark Room. I know to bomb two angel statues first and fight them for their key pieces (I think faith helps find those rooms).

I also know an important step is to whoop ass, and this seed was setting me up for it in one of the best runs I ever had. I was maxed out with power and range early and along the way I got all sorts of defensive items (Halo, Mask, flight, Double Fly and Bandage Girl, shielded tears). I also had Guppy's Head with the Habit, so anytime I actually got hurt I had an instant recharge on a devastating attack on anything around me. I also had a ton of luck coupled with the Cartridge, but I never saw me get to turn invincible since I rarely got hit.

I killed final boss-Isaac without getting hurt in the Cathedral by staying in his face. I had full health and the pill for more Soul Hearts on stand-by, plus I basically maxed out on money/keys/bombs. The big chest appeared, and it took me to a cutscene instead of the Dark Room like I wanted.

This was supposed to be the run.

I had the goddamn key put together, just take me to the Dark Room instead of these shoddy endings! I am positively certain Mega Satan would have died if I had my rematch tonight, and I don't know what it takes to more consistently get to the Dark Room.

How do you get more opportunities to face Mega Satan? Because argh.
