It's me, **(twitter.com/tyronerodriguez)**; I've logged into the Steam backend to give you an update on, um, the 1.7.9 update.

Welcome to the long-time-coming Repentance update!

Below you'll find probably the single biggest update since its release! Highly recommend you scan through below to see what's been updated, changed and improved.

Some highlights include: C Section fetuses now only deal 75% damage every 10 frames   Lil Dumpy now has a secondary, larger detection radius that can cause it to randomly trigger from nearby enemy projectiles.

Glowing Hourglass no cooldown, but can only be used three times per floor .  Increased the cooldown of D10 to 2 (from 1). It now devolves enemies instead of replacing them randomly.

Cain's Other Eye now follows Isaac and copies all tear modifiers/stats, but shoots in random directions and has -25% reduced damage.  Bum Friend can now give batteries/items from the Beggar pool. My favorite--The Black Bean now causes multiple farts in quick succession and leaves poisonous gas clouds

 Added the following:
- C Section to the Ultra Secret room pool
- Mom's Ring to the Old Chest pool
- Epic Fetus to the treasure pool (at very low weight)
- Glowing Hourglass to the Greed mode treasure pool
- Ouija Board to the Greed mode devil pool
- Breath of Life to the Greed mode angel pool

Greed mode button won't deal damage in Lost form, some less useful items, trinkets and cards in Greed mode, such as The Moon, are fixed. Ultra Greed won't get stuck in his dash state forever when his movement is blocked by certain objects.

Buuuuuuuut! There's MORE!

By the time you read this, it'll be Friday November 4th 2022. Which means it's officially G-Fuel Day! The Repentance team has put together the sweetest piece of daily runs since, well, since that poop and fart themed one. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

So tons of amazing stuff below, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play today's daily seed, playable starting 3AM PST.

The guys really put in a lot of effort to make it A-mazing. Edmund is even considering naming his next child gfuel--we've also discussed renaming Vinh into Le Gfuel as well. Don't want to spoil, you need to play it. Have fun this weekend!
