Ray Chase, voice of Cyclops in X-Men '97, has '1,000 freaking hours' in Slay the Spire and is running a 'smell build' in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: 'I wear perfumes and walk into battle with my fancy boy outfit'

Summary

In this week's Disk Cleanup column, we dive into the PC gaming habits of Ray Chase, the voice actor behind Cyclops in X-Men '97. Chase reveals he has clocked up '1,000 freaking hours' in Slay the Spire, and in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, he is running what he calls a 'smell build' — dousing his character in perfume and heading into battle wearing a fancy outfit. This playful approach highlights the freedom that immersive RPGs offer, and Chase's willingness to abandon meta-optimization in favor of personal expression is both amusing and inspiring. His choice underscores the beauty of gaming: there is no single right way to play. Whether it's a deck-builder or a medieval sandbox, players can craft their own experiences and find joy in unconventional strategies. For the wider community, Chase's story is a reminder to experiment and embrace creativity. It also speaks to the lasting appeal of Slay the Spire and the intricate systems of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which allow such quirky play styles to thrive. Anyone who has ever felt pressured to 'play correctly' should take note — sometimes the best adventures come from smelling like a rose on the battlefield.
