Today I start a brief excursion into the 21st century, an unfamiliar time period where games run without emulators, OBS's "game capture" feature actually captures games
without needing 4th party babysitting programs, and game designers are only tripping on moderate amounts of magic mushrooms.

I'm playing Enter The Gungeon, mostly to demonstrate that it's not that hard (if I can do this with my old man reflexes, then so can you), and also that the starting item
pool is surprisingly good.


The rules of this challenge are simple:

Reset the game
Play 4 runs
Kill 4 different pasts


Some notes on the pilot: It's all about how his kit synergises with the Rogue Special. To be specific:
Lockpicks let you find a weapon that isn't the Rogue special.
Disarming Personality lets you buy weapons that are not the Rogue Special
Extra ammo lets you hang on longer with a real weapon before having to go back to the Rogue Special.
Hidden Compartment lets you hang on longer with a real weapon before having to go back to the Rogue Special.

The lockpicks are perhaps the defining element of the pilot. They have a 50% chance to work, which really tempts the RNG. Good lockpicking RNG really turns the pilot into an overpowered monstrosity; bad RNG might result in fighting the Dragun with the starting pistol.
