I've Spent 217 Hours Playing Splay The Spire

Looking at my Steam log, I am unashamed to say that I have spent 217 hours playing Slay The Spire. The game is still in early release, but that doesn't stop it from topping out the charts with its "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews, which is a feat, as the gaming community can sometimes be unkind to Indie Style games.

A description from the developers says: "We fused card games and rogue-likes together to make the best single player deck-builder we could. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and Slay the Spire!"

The game is - as I mentioned - still in early development, which means: (1) it is currently on sale for a discounted rate - once the game comes out completely, the price will go up and (2) the game is not completely finished, meaning there are still things missing and bugs to be fixed.

Despite not being completely out, though, that doesn't mean the game is something you can run through once or twice and be bored with. As I said, I have played this game religiously for quite some time and I have yet to do around wherein I repeated myself. On top of the diversity of the game, there are biweekly patches that are coming out, constantly adding new features, which is rad as heck.

A description from the Steam page has the below attributes for the game:

  • Three core characters that each have their own unique set of cards. (With more planned)
  • 200+ fully implemented cards.
  • 50+ unique combat encounters.
  • 100+ different items to be found.
  • Procedurally generated levels.
  • Tons of unlockables

On top of all of that cool stuff, the Spire - the board that you as a player climb through - is ever-changing. Each game run is different and consists of three acts, totaling fifty diverse floors a run. And if you're in for a challenge, every day there is a competitive Daily Run wherein every player faces the same challenges with a variety of different adaptions.

In my personal opinion, this game is completely worth the $15.99 price tag. It is a self-paced game that you can pause, as well as being a diverse, enthralling game wherein you can kick monster butt and overcome the spire. It is highly recommended.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
