Completed Slay the Spire Ascension 20, all characters

I've finished Ascension 20 for all the characters in Slay the Spire. 

Between PC, Switch and iPad it took me 900 hours to do this. The durability and value you get here is one of the best qualities of a great roguelike, and I love that. That said, I'm not sure if I want to ever attempt anything like this again even though I did similar on other roguelikes like Dungeon of the Endless and FTL. 

I kept playing even after I complained about how it felt like playing against random chance and it is not really about skill when you're playing at the highest levels. So the grim, absurd reality did not end up killing my desire to climb this mountain. Dice mountain. That's the power of a great game (and ego).

It took me a week to get through all the Ascension levels and it was my first run on Ascension 20. I have a confession. I didn’t beat the 4th secret chapter but only because I forgot to claim the Blue shard. No one will believe me. But I’m speaking to the dozens of us, dozens!! Who know what beating Ascension 20 means. There goes my street cred for not beating Act IV at Ascension 20. I could've, I was OP as heck. I have no insight here for this post. I'm sad. Update: Turns out I don’t need excuses, I just needed time to play more. Now all I need is to figure out how to play Elden Ring while on a plane.
