I do not have the free time nor the maturity to handle this release at this point in my life.

Well, it is what it is. Guess I'll have to buy the game and get addicted again.

I'm right there with you. Hopefully mobile for 2 is better suited for phones, makes it easier to find the time. The first one is designed for tablets and makes reading and playing cards difficult.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The game is so weird. I have zero desire to play it. But when I do, it refuses to turn off.

I would definitely play it on my phone if it works well.

You've tried Balatro already I assume?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I haven't. Never heard of it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Jeez, get on that now. It has replaced StS for me. Over 230 hours in a month...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Looked it up. Seems cool. I unfortunately have a mental block when it comes to poker. For some reason I've never been able to learn it, no matter how hard I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

If you have the hands to hand (pun intended) then it's all good. You don't need to play it as you would normally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's fine. Poker is just a theme. And it's got a guide for poker hands, but after a couple trips to the item shop you can usually throw everything about poker out the window.

Goddmmit you guys are selling me on this. Whelp, another one for the 'ol wishlist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

On The STS discord Caseyyano admitted that Balatro is changing him. So we'll see If there are any references to Balatro. I'm pretty sure there will be at least one Joker artifact considering how many references there were in STS 1.

They’ve migrated to the Godot game engine now, haven’t they? I’m excited to see how they’ve got on with it. I wish they’d to a conference talk about it.

My hero! That was an excellent read.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I don't have actual stats on this but I'm fairly certain I've put more hours into Slay the Spire than any other game in my life across its various platforms. Pretty psyched for this one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm fairly certain I've put more hours into Slay the Spire than I have raising my children.

Also pretty psyched for this one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

yeah I've got 400 hours into the phone version alone lol. I'm stoked

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Very excited about this! The new character looks really cool too!

The Steam page also has some gameplay screenshots. It looks surprisingly similar to the first game, but as long as there’s enough new stuff I don’t mind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah I loved playing the first one! Hopefully there’s enough innovation to warrant a full sequel rather than just new content with essentially the same mechanics. Here’s hoping!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

2025 might be enough time for me to get a heart win with ironclad and watcher. Not sure I'll be ready by then tbh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You got this! Remember that STS rewards picking the option that immediately helps you, instead of trying to over-engineer some dream deck.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol I just cracked out both in one session. I think a1 might be easier than a0

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Congrats! Yea A1 is easier cause you get more elites which directly equates to more relics.

Time to climb the ascension levels now?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

HELL YEAH! I hope they have a simultaneous release on all platforms too. I prefer a mobile version now a days. I bought the original for PC, switch, PS4 and mobile! Such an amazing game!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can I start banking time now so when I spend it then and stay up way too late, I'm not tired the next day?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

If that was possible we wouldn't have public education, we'd just sleep for the first 20-30 years of our lives so we could work weeks long shifts at McD's.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I wonder if I'll be even worse in this one

orb dude doesn't seem to be in it so that's already a huge problem for me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Great! Time to forgo every other aspect of my life while I grind out A20s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I was hoping they'd been working on a different type of game; I'll still try this but I think I may be a bit tired of the formula. Hoping it is different enough!
