@blebsmc99 thank you very much!!! i will not be changing dogma gnuts.
@everyone else Thank you for your submissions. they have been duly ignored.

semi-biannual reminder that you can personalize your version of the mod by just digging through your mod folder and editing the items.XML located in folder "worse item descriptions_2579382372".

and you know some of the item descriptions are actually pretty cool not just unhelpful
(change dogma's though)

1up: oh, nevermind

1up: "Another try."

1up = "Just what you needed" :lunar2019coolpig:

@ciao_fiv oh, right, I knew I was forgetting something.
ciao_fiv 23 Dec, 2021 @ 8:47am 
heads up, this mod causes c section to not work. (i had to isolate every mod i had installed to figure out why c section wasnt doing anything and this is the one)
GangCripKushLolGroveStreet 18 Nov, 2021 @ 2:04am 
Well as soon as i turned it off it stopped crashing could still be a collision with another mod
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 17 Nov, 2021 @ 6:14pm 
@GangCripKushLolGroveStreet I tested a full run with T.Cain that grabbed maybe over 100 items with no other mods active, and I never had a crash. Are you sure that it's *this* mod in particular that's causing a crash?
GangCripKushLolGroveStreet 17 Nov, 2021 @ 3:09am 
It crashes on tainted cain idk if u fixed it yet
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 16 Nov, 2021 @ 8:02pm 
@GangCripKushLolGroveStreet The patch that just dropped? I don't see why not, they didn't change the Items.xml file as far as I can tell.
GangCripKushLolGroveStreet 16 Nov, 2021 @ 2:16pm 
Is it working in the new patch? I really missed this mod!
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 16 Nov, 2021 @ 12:03pm 
@cool cool Trust me, I tried. replacing the birthright="#BIRTHRIGHT" lines just doesn't work. The *real* descriptions are probably somewhere, but I sure as shit can't be bothered to find them.
cool cool 16 Nov, 2021 @ 11:02am 
if u still need help finding the birthright descriptions, they seem to be in the players.xml file. havent tried changing them and seeing them ingame tho
Voxelroguery 14 Nov, 2021 @ 10:10am 
This is a BIG plane
GangCripKushLolGroveStreet 14 Nov, 2021 @ 5:29am 
Yupp crash on tainted cain
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 12 Nov, 2021 @ 8:55am 
@En Ost Hm. That's probably because they updated the items.xml. Once again, I'll get right on that. As for @Kebarvu , I have no idea why that's happening. Hopefully that fixes itself once I do everything else.
En Ost 12 Nov, 2021 @ 4:17am 
This mod seems to crash with tainted cain as of the new patch
Kebarvu 11 Nov, 2021 @ 8:24pm 
btw, this mod crashes the game when you enter rooms with a ghost mom in new patch
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 11 Nov, 2021 @ 4:57pm 
Don't worry, I saw the new patch. those items'll get a new description soon-ish. Maybe wait a few days.
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 26 Oct, 2021 @ 11:07am 
@Miracleprism Y'know, I don't remember doing that, but that _does_ seem like something I would do. Glad someone noticed.
Miracleprism 26 Oct, 2021 @ 4:56am 
I combined this with the mod that adds Dogma to the angel room pool, and found out Dogma's description is "Dogma balls". 10/10 for attention to detail
NootTheNewt 16 Oct, 2021 @ 7:55pm 
when there's a mod to make item descriptions useless but you already know what they do anyway
WEMZ 5 Sep, 2021 @ 1:06pm 
the descriptions are creative, well done!
Nadi 4 Sep, 2021 @ 4:52pm 
it makes the descriptions much more interesting tbh, and I have item description mod anyway,

but I definitely like this mode though
Ham-Induced Crackhead 30 Aug, 2021 @ 1:07pm 
This mod is 100x better than it says it is
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 28 Aug, 2021 @ 9:59pm 
@100% frying pan Well, that's just how it is. You can always change it in the mod's files, if you want.
100% frying pan 28 Aug, 2021 @ 8:43pm 
I dont like how every fimilar is called (something) buddy
vinman712 28 Aug, 2021 @ 9:16am 
honestly i like the idea of this mod, because it makes the flavor text of items more flavorful
WitchAmy 28 Aug, 2021 @ 2:00am 
I'm installing this purely for the jokes, as I have memorized all items lol :dip:
Spiderh8er12 27 Aug, 2021 @ 7:56am 
Joke's on you, I've memorized the effect of every item!
deroplat 26 Aug, 2021 @ 5:40pm 
This mod doesn't help me in any way! Amazing job!
Ryoshma 24 Aug, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
thank you
WarPear 23 Aug, 2021 @ 10:08am 
I remember how Super Mario Galaxy showed a message when you get your first 1-up saying that it's an extra Mario
poor young me would be brainfuxed for the next 2 years to come
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 20 Aug, 2021 @ 10:31pm 
@bardtard Yea, I could rename it, but it just doesn't feel right. Besides, everyone already knows what a 1up does, so including the phrase at all is kinda a dead giveaway. [also, if anyone knows how to actually reply to comments, please let me know.]
Ringo_Starkey 20 Aug, 2021 @ 12:15pm 
The description for 1up could be "Extra Isaac", which is more vague to a modern player and matches the wording typically used for extra lives in older games.

Alternatively, since you're renaming some items anyway, you could rename it "Green Mushroom" and make the description "1up!".

@Gold_360 Examples added! Apparently, Steam doesn't like images bigger than 512x512, so they're really blurry and crap.
Cozyrazu 20 Aug, 2021 @ 12:07am 
give me some examples
Capn. Wing Ding  [author] 19 Aug, 2021 @ 10:21pm 
@Q-U7 that would be crass and immature, completely going against the themes of Isaac and everything he stands for. Now, if you don't mind, I'm off to go shoot poop at a corpse.
quiggyballs 19 Aug, 2021 @ 8:20pm 
you should give isaac a little butt in the thumbnail art for this lol
