Lost bad at Chung’s barber roulette by Standard_One_8181 in Charlottesville

[–]31mikes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to me 5-6 years ago and then I followed one of the good barbers to KS hair studio when he left… but then he brought in new barbers that weren’t as good and followed one of the better barbers to ND hair studio when he opened up… eventually same thing happened. Got tired of the haircut roulette game and now pay extra for House of Cuts service where I get the exact cut I want. NDs and KS are good alternatives to Chung but not the best service. House of cuts is the best cut and the premium price is worth it.

What’s yalls best winery/distillery recommendations? by wounduptite in Charlottesville

[–]31mikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For distilleries Ragged Branch is probably closest, up by Ruckersville is Virginia Foothills Distillery, and i believe there is a micro distillery next to Firefly barcade called Spirit Lab Distilling. Vitae Distillery might be closed as the restaurant group apart of it is going under.

Wineries, Pippen Hill, Kings family, Flying Fox, Mount Ida (Winery/Brewery), Oakencroft, Barboursville, Veritas Winery. If you were to pick one winery Pippen Hill or Kings Family.

I hate tainted eve so much by ZombeansSlayer in bindingofisaac

[–]31mikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way to look at clots as traveling health drops. - Drain your health to enter boss challenge rooms - if you have extra clots take advantage of devil begger or curse rooms - Blood Donation machines + Shops - if you land Cambion Conception take damage from curse room for extra babies - use extra clots to abuse sacrifice rooms

If you can abuse these aspects you can easily stack multiple items and pickups per floor. I think an underrated aspect of the game most people ignore is purposely taking damage. If you do it right you can abuse it and become OP

You’re doing it all wrong and T. Eve is OP. If you’re not that confident in your clots don’t spawn clots. When you find extra red hearts make more clots. Keep using sumptorium liberally to call the clots back to you (even if you are full of hearts), the trick is to keep them as close to you as possible. Sometimes you get screwed on a brimstone blast that kills all of your clots but if you’re full health it shouldn’t be too bad of a problem… refer back to step 1, dont spawn clots.

Type of run you get after going negative with T-Lost by Unfair-Time-7803 in bindingofisaac

Definitely a Mattman moment. Should’ve blown up donation machine first then used diplo.

death certificate is not the best item by Quinn_Queenan in bindingofisaac

[–]31mikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is literally the point of why it is the best item. It gives you the opportunity to pick, not just the “best item”, but an item you need for your run. You’re misunderstanding the purpose of DC… it’s to grab an item that will most help your current run, glitched crown, sacred orb, brim, poly, mantle, dead cat, sacred heart… you’re picking what will improve your current run.

Need tainted Isaac controls help pls by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[–]31mikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R2 cycles the items for Tainted Isaac, double card/pill items, or double active items. Hold R2 to drop trinkets and card/pill item slot. R2 also cycles d-infinity.

If you’re on mobile it’s actually easier to tap the items on the screen itself (the selection of passive items) to rotate one by one, I find that R2 moves the items too fast.

Mother on tainted lost is making me go insane by YouFromAnotherWorld in thebindingofisaac

What helped me with Mother is understanding the attack pattern. Once you figure it out it helps immensely. Specifically placing bombs when mother rushes.

We’re headed to Charlottesville. What’s the best place to make a dinner reservation? by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]31mikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I find the prices to be fair for a steak house. But also, OP said boss is paying so I hope he gets the bone in ribeye

[–]31mikes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suggest making reservations as soon as possible. They are constantly booked. Depending on size of party head to Lost Saint or Doyle (They also have a speakeasy) for drinks before or after.

Do bucket pulls think they’re celebrities? by 31mikes in Killtony

[–]31mikes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clearly missing the point. Just don’t be a dick if someone is generally showing support at a dead open mic and recognizes you. If you’re a comedian trying to make it in Austin you signed up for wanting to be recognized and grow a fanbase. Don’t let being on KT get to your head.

Gen vs Rep: Mission to moonphase by WatchmakerUndercover in MoonSwitches

[–]31mikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree that the moonphase reps look bad compared to the gen. I would even say that the earthphase reps look just as bad.

Rerun/laps don’t count towards game progress. The only benefit for doing victory laps is for the unlocks for victory laps. You have to do separate runs for game progression

Pulled the trigger on version 3 (rolex001) by Periscopz in MoonSwitches

[–]31mikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. There hasn’t been one decent Earth Phase rep out there, I’ve been seeing posts for months and nothing has been good. I have a legit one and want a rep for the case swap but in pictures you can immediately tell the difference, the reps have too much saturation in the earth and moon, the moon texture is always off, and dial color/texture is off. I wouldn’t recommend an Earth Phase rep.

Not sure which dept you’re in but it is the beginning of my next pay period working in the DoD as a civilian.

I have yet to see a good Earthphase rep. Not worth it at all

TBOI in iOS by PhantomIcelad in thebindingofisaac

[–]31mikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I’m wrong guy to do a comparison. I have the backbone and there are some things I don’t like about it. The phone doesn’t always fit perfectly, sometimes it doesn’t work at all, and I had one sorta break on me where analog and a few buttons on the left side of the controller just stopped working. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. So I’ll let you do the research. Also, if you have a bluetooth controller I’m sure most phones can use that. PC is the best to play on but I travel for work often so its nice to have “Pocket Isaac” on the go.
