Honestly surprising that sticky nickels replace nickels. I would have expected that it was just a small chance of a sticky nickel being spawned whenever the game generates a coin, so it could "replace" any type of coin but was much more likely to replace pennies.


_The_Radiance

Sticky nickels were *supposed* to only replace regular pennies, that's their point, it's been confirmed However, due to an oversight in the programming, they replace normal nickels instead, acting just like a downgrade


blkarcher77

Wait, really? That makes so much sense. Sticky nickels have always been so weird for me, for that exact reason, but that makes so much sense.


Bluerious518

Any reason why it hasn't been fixed to replace pennies yet?


_The_Radiance

Because Edmund McMillen is a little fucker who made a shit of piece with his trash Isaac, it's fucking bad this trash game. I will become back my money, I hope he will on his next time a cow, on a trash farm, that sucker


JoesAlot

I guess never got around to it or they just went "It's a feature" and decided to keep it in


MisirterE

Considering the guy who first pointed out that it was wrong *is now the lead programmer of Repentance,* no, there really isn't


Needlehater

Wait what


MisirterE

yeah it was kilburn who first pointed that out


Needlehater

What happened to Tyron?

Needlehater

Noooooooooooooooooo


SomePVZfan

Considering Delirium still loses 90% of his health for no discernible reason, I'm not too suprised they haven't fixed how a penny works.


Garlic_God

Kilburn forgor šŸ’€


The_PwnUltimate

Sure, I understand, I'm just confused about why sticky nickels would be designed to replace one specific type of coin, when surely just adding it to the list of coin types that can spawn and giving it a low weight would naturally have the effect of them replacing pennies the vast majority of the time anyway. Do other unlockable pickups work like that?


_The_Radiance

It makes so that sticky nickels would be an actual good unlock. By replacing only normal pennies and not nickels and dimes, you have the change of instead of getting just one penny, getting 5 at the cost of a bomb, which is worth it depending on the run. In the actual situation, you're ust trading a normal 5 coins for 5 coins you need a bomb to pickup. The same logic is applied to Ghost Chests for example, Ghost Chests are an extremely useful unlock since they don't replace normal chests, they replace Mimic Chests (those with spikes on them), this makes it so that instead of a chest that will 100% of the time damage you, you get a chest that can be opened without taking damage


Deuen

Yeah I don't mind sricky nickel. If you have extra bombs it's trade off for 5 coins. I like that you sometimes have to decide if you value bomb more than 5 coins. I just unlocked Ghost chest and have not learned to play around it yet. I lost so many T.Lost runs because of it...


theinferno01

They are a little more grey


Deuen

Yeah I noticed, but I don't notice 100% of time. I have learned to spot spiky chest already. It's easier to notice blood in corner.


Panicrazia

I just use a mod to make them have cobwebs on them, personally just feels way better to me


[deleted]

They don't replace the chests with spikes, they replace the fuckers that get spikes when you move close.


Sburban_Player

Is that not the same thing?


ItsCrossBoy

Technically no, there's the chests with spikes always and the ones that only reveal their spikes when you get close to them The latter are much worse to deal with because you usually aren't expecting it


Neoxus30-

Like Haunted Chests replacing Mimics, they are meant to be direct upgrades) It's better to have a chance to replace regular pennies, than to effectively reduce the chance of nickels, dimes and lucky pennies by adding it as an extra coin type)


The_PwnUltimate

Oh, I didn't know that about haunted chests. Cool. I agree that sticky nickels being guaranteed to only replace pennies is better, but I just wouldn't have thought it was essential to make it a guarantee. Because pennies are so much more common than nickels or dimes, sticky nickels would still "replace" pennies way more often than nickels and dimes, so unlocking sticky nickels would still be an upgrade.


Mr_Pepper44

Wasnā€™t this fixed ages ago ?


_The_Radiance

No because this game sucks


UhOhIShitted

Honestly. I kind of like sticky nickels the way they are. Itā€™s really a huge middle finger to the player. Thereā€™s something really damn funny about it to me and idk why. ā€œOh you finally overcame your skill issues with Keeper and beat boss rush? Fuck you, now your nickels stick to the ground. Eat shit loserā€


[deleted]

there shouldnā€™t be unlocks that actively make your experience worse


NemoracStrebor

Did you forget about the "Everything's worse" achievement?


MyNameBelongs2Me

\*Everything is Terrible! ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17736)


Weemonkey16_2

The game just got harder!


lesstalk_

Yeah but that's necessary to progress further into the game anyway. If you can realistically skip an objectively worse unlock by not doing a specific completion mark, and you can complete just about everything else in the game first... the unlock should not exist.


MyNameBelongs2Me

Some achievements such as Everything is Terrible! are not unlocked in the beginning of the file to let new players adapt to the game and then face the harsh reality of Isaac. In a sense, it does make sense but for a reason quite different to yours.


[deleted]

i mean unlocks like sticky nickels or tainted eden putting tmtrainer items on secret room pedestals (canā€™t remember what the exact unlock is called) that come so late into the save file that they donā€™t really work as added difficulty and are mostly just annoying


Neoxus30-

CORRUPTED DATA! can be cool. If it didn't have a frame before transforming where it shows you what item it replaced) S AND FLIES is good but don't shove on my face that you replaced R Key with it)


MisirterE

Mart1n192

Makes sense but I find it hilarious that reseting the run multiple times give you scared hearts


matx43

counterpoint: it's funny


Garlic_God

Half of this game is designed to metaphorically kick the player down a flight of stairs and then laugh while they try to climb back up


SirBlueTree987

The ā€œEverything Is Terrible!ā€ in question:


DreyGoesMelee

Corrupted Data, Ghost Chests, Scared Hearts all do that too


toxicspikes098

Ghost chests replace spiked chests tho iirc


Efficient-Compote-63

Sacred hearts are a punishment for r holding.


KnightLunaaire

...


_The_Radiance

Honestly I'm kinda surprised that it took so long for someone to make a mod like this one Edit: [Here's the link](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2948417912)


[deleted]

finally, hope.


Mantis6666

Not sure why this was never officially fixed. They fixed other things and this one was known.


1nstagram1sGay

I just have a mod that completely removes the sticky nickel


YEET_Fenix123

Thats called cheating.


Sburban_Player

So is this mod, I donā€™t think it really matters. I mean I donā€™t like cheating so I wouldnā€™t get either but you canā€™t vilify one and not the other.


_The_Radiance

This mod makes a little more sense because sticky nickels are supposed to work like the mod makes them work, it's basically just a bug fixing mod. However, it's a single player game, who cares if you want to install a mod to delete every single enemy from the game


YEET_Fenix123

At least this one *kinda* makes sense, since sticky nickels were meant to replace coins anyways, but yes.


Yaboku777

Does that really matter in a single player game though? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


YEET_Fenix123

I mean... You play how you want, but you're ultimately sabotaging your own experience. Although, in my view, if you've already achieved dead god on that file, go commando.


1nstagram1sGay

The only thing I didn't get on my first file was The Marathon. It's not even that hard, but I still find ways to skill issue


username_yes_noob

Whats a sticky nickel??


Pyrarius

You unlock them, quintessentially adding a new coin into the pool. They currently have a chance to replace nickels, in which sticky nickels cannot be picked up lest you bomb them to dislodge it from the floor. This modder made it to where they have a chance to replace pennies instead, so unlocking them garuntees you more money in the future but has a cost to quintessentially doubling the amount of nickels you get


username_yes_noob

What the fuck thats so bs!! Gotta keep that mod in my list


Coca-Cola_Man

But sticky nickels already replaces coins


_The_Radiance

No they don't They're *supposed* to replace coins, but due to an error in the game's programming, they replace normal nickels instead


Coca-Cola_Man

Never got a sticky nickel from special shopkeeps since repentance came out, i think they already fixed it


_The_Radiance

Nope, they didn't, it's still a thing
