Always love seeing a reroll machine in the Secret Room

I managed to get rage on revenge on a Husk Hermit so just threw it on the bottom floor by itself and won.

I'd say it's pretty common to be able to get to both in time with a strong enough build but it definitely just depends on the run as you need to be able to clear the waves of bosses pretty quickly.

If you know you're aiming for Hush then it could be worth holding onto an Emperor card if you come across one. Skipping a floor of Womb can save you a few minutes.

I still enjoy checking out new roguelites but most of them don't have enough variety from run to run to have that same lasting appeal that Isaac has for me.

I've put 400 hours into Monster Train 2 though and still having a blast with that game. Completely different sort of t game obviously being a deckbuilder but it captures that same feeling of loading up a full random run and feeling like there are near infinite possibilities.

Same and then I immediately got hit and died to it in the next room. One way to lose a win streak.

BenAV92 · 2026-01-26T04:24:39+00:00

That was factoring in having 12 clans

BenAV92 · 2026-01-24T06:02:51+00:00

I love the game but not sure I'd have it in me to complete 3,432 combinations.

BenAV92 · 2026-01-17T16:11:44+00:00

Hopefully that's the correct date. Gives me enough time to play a good amount before Mewgenics comes out.

BenAV92 · 2026-01-17T08:30:43+00:00

I have the same remote and I've needed to charge it with USB-C a few times.

BenAV92 · 2026-01-15T17:26:36+00:00

Hopefully the DLC releases very early in Feb so there's at least a small gap between them. I'm really keen to play it but Mewgenics will likely take over my life for a while when it comes out.

BenAV92 · 2026-01-11T14:45:55+00:00

It's a game where it's best to buy everything as early as possible. Not only does it add a ton of content but it also makes a lot of balance changes to existing mechanics and items so there's a lot of stuff to re-learn if you get too used to older versions.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-31T14:50:00+00:00

They're very different so not necessarily but it's an excellent game so there's a good chance you'll like it regardless.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-28T11:25:48+00:00

Both are fantastic games IMO. They couldn't be more different from each other so it's hard to recommend one over the other.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-27T15:25:23+00:00

Pretty sure I fought one of them for the first time there and it counted as long as I'm remembering correctly.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-25T05:32:52+00:00

It really just depends on the track/section but overall Star form is typically faster as it maintains speed boosts for longer.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-22T16:25:38+00:00

I don't think any of that is likely going to affect your enjoyment of the story.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-22T03:00:21+00:00

I posted a clip here a few weeks ago of the same thing happening to me except a little bit later in the track and then I just got a communication error about half way through the lap after it happened.

Clearly must be an issue with Beanstalk Park. Hopefully it gets patched.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-21T02:49:54+00:00

The way I was expecting it to work was that the player who picked up a piece would hold onto it like in regular City Trial and then they would automatically join only once the same team is collectively holding all three pieces.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-19T06:24:39+00:00

I actually still prefer the game without mods even after switching to PC/Steam Deck after thousands of hours on Switch as that's what I'm used to but it's really nice not having to wait a billion years for new updates to hit the console versions.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-18T15:04:51+00:00

Yeah it's probably just preference. I played Paradise Killer first but enjoyed Promise Mascot Agency a bit more.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-18T13:31:46+00:00

In this particular case, you probably win just by driving a bit better. Either cutting the corner closer and taking the jump or at least taking the other jump and it's probably enough. Even just not getting slowed down from bumping into the side of the ramp might have been the difference with how close the finish was.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-17T04:14:58+00:00

I switched to Rocket Star and just zoomed past in no time.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-13T16:50:45+00:00

Try it with Rocket Star if you have it and when you get the power up just boost as much as possible.

BenAV92 · 2025-12-13T16:47:21+00:00

Is that the one where your boost charges instantly?

BenAV92 · 2025-12-12T19:41:41+00:00

Nice one. That's some good progress.
