This makes it more fancy to read, if you want worse, other item description mods go NUTS!

honestly this + EID is a direct upgrade. more fun words to read with no lost information

And the winner is... Edmund McMillen, with "Extra life"! congratulations!

Submissions for the Better Worse 1up Description Text Contest have now been closed. Come back in 13 seconds to see who gets their description in the mod!

1up- one more lethal messup

just pretend that i uploaded an update that changes all the descriptions to the EID ones ok thanks i love u

I am about to fry my brain by using this

@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".

god this is one of the funniest fucking mods i've ever downloaded
i love it
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"

@ciao_fiv oh, right, I knew I was forgetting something.

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)

Well as soon as i turned it off it stopped crashing could still be a collision with another mod

@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?

It crashes on tainted cain idk if u fixed it yet

@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.

Is it working in the new patch? I really missed this mod!

@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.

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

This is a BIG plane

Yupp crash on tainted cain

@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.

This mod seems to crash with tainted cain as of the new patch

btw, this mod crashes the game when you enter rooms with a ghost mom in new patch

Don't worry, I saw the new patch. those items'll get a new description soon-ish. Maybe wait a few days.

@Miracleprism Y'know, I don't remember doing that, but that _does_ seem like something I would do. Glad someone noticed.

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

when there's a mod to make item descriptions useless but you already know what they do anyway

the descriptions are creative, well done!

it makes the descriptions much more interesting tbh, and I have item description mod anyway,

but I definitely like this mode though

This mod is 100x better than it says it is

@100% frying pan Well, that's just how it is. You can always change it in the mod's files, if you want.

I dont like how every fimilar is called (something) buddy

honestly i like the idea of this mod, because it makes the flavor text of items more flavorful

I'm installing this purely for the jokes, as I have memorized all items lol

Joke's on you, I've memorized the effect of every item!

This mod doesn't help me in any way! Amazing job!

thank you

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

@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.]

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.

give me some examples

@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.

you should give isaac a little butt in the thumbnail art for this lol
