Look at that Turtle Go… Bro

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/15

Good Morning Folks. I decided that I needed to rename my turtle pet in Guild Wars 2. I remember being a big fan of the song Yertle the Turtle from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Middle School, which of course turned me on to the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. Which of ...

Hakuna Matata

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/13

There are so many little things in Guild Wars 2 that you just sort of forget about half of them until you happen upon them again. For example there is a spot in the Crystal Desert where a Meerkat, Warthog, and Lion Cub just happen to cross the path in front of you. Last night ...

Weird Headspace Time

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/09

Good Morning Folks. I’ve had a weird week and a lack of desire to put pen to digital page. As a result you’ve only gotten Monday, Wednesday, and Friday posts instead of one each day.

Fun is Ephemeral

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/07

Hey Folks. I did not end up blogging yesterday because the morning just sort of got away from me. On Monday I talked about my adventures in Pohx League 2.0 with the Atlas Invasion ruleset.

Reject Content Mills

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/02

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday the news broke that Polygon, a gaming website that I actually really enjoyed was sold to Valnet. This is a company largely known for being a content mill, with pretty awful working conditions, and also know for being exceptionally litigious. This is not necessarily a new thing and part of the ... Read more The post Reject Content Mills appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Cooking Nemesis Eggs

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/05/01

Good Morning Folks. One of the things that I really miss from Path of Exile is the existence of a Hideout. Even in that game I am constantly annoyed that I have to load into a public area, instead of just spawning in my hideout… but in Last Epoch I miss someplace private to escape ...

Good Morning Folks. This character has been a wild ride. You have to remember this was a brand new character that I started late Sunday morning and cobbled together gear from my stash to get up and running.

Joining the Judges

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/28

Good Morning Folks. I pretty much spent the entire weekend playing Last Epoch, and I regret nothing. For those who have not been following this particular rabbit hole, I have been playing what I think is my sixth incarnation of an Ignite Warpath Paladin.

Corruption is Cumbersome

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/25

Good Morning Folks. I’ve been playing Last Epoch almost exclusively at this point and I have not only progressed into the Empowered Monoliths but reached a point with my build where I am beginning to thrive there.

My Own Worst Enemy

2025/04/23

Good Morning Folks. I failed entirely to write a blog post yesterday because I guess other things were going on. I am still playing Last Epoch and still having quite a blast… but there was a brief period of time where I was having less of one. The problem with yolo-ing your way through an ...

Good Morning Folks! Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased has launched and I am still in the process of leveling my character through the campaign.
