2025/09/23

Good Morning Folks. I am getting a bit of a late start to the blog this morning because I had to do a fasting blood draw. Nothing serious, just one of those things that I have to do every year to keep from having to pay a $60 per month surcharge on our corporate insurance ...

Estela Get and Battle Pass Done

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/22

Good Morning Folks. I played a truly excessive amount of Destiny Rising over the weekend. One of the big takeaways of the weekend is that while you have a limited amount of pinnacle rewards currency… doing content without this currency is still worth doing. Namely grinding Strikes and Gauntlet Blitz can still reward some really ... Read more The post Estela Get and Battle Pass Done appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

2025/09/18

Good Morning Folks. I’ve been on a bit of an anime kick of late. I am not entirely certain what led me down this rabbit hole but something… prompted me to give Dan Da Dan a shot. It took about three episodes before I was hopelessly hooked, but last weekend I spent most of Saturday ... Read moreThe post Animation Adoration appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday was a bit of a busy day. I went to a new eye doctor, that required a bit of a journey to get there.

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday I talked about Guild Wars 2, and while I am spending the majority of my time over there grinding out the Fractal event… I still playing quite a bit of Destiny Rising each day.

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/15

Good Morning Folks. I am writing this morning largely to make sure everyone is aware that a Fractal Incursion event is going on right now in Guild Wars 2… and it is phenomenal. Not only do you get starter gear sets for new characters from a vendor in the area, but you can essentially run ...

The End is the Beginning

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/12

Good Morning Folks. I’ve had a week, and as a result… I’ve missed several days of blogging. On Wednesday morning I had an issue come up that forced me to stop what I was doing and rush into the office physically to deal with it. Then yesterday from 7 am I was on a conference ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/08

Good Morning Folks. I want to start out this week’s posts by giving a rousing round of applause for the Blaugustans who just finished participating in Blaugust 2025. This event would not have existed were it not for the wonderful community of mentors that have volunteered for that role over the last decade. Specifically I ...

Good Morning Folks. Happy Day After Silksong launched, if you celebrate it. So for those who were confused as to why pretty much every digital storefront died around 9 am CDT… Silksong the sequel to Hollow Knight was released and it was exceptionally anticipated by many.

2025/09/04

Good Morning Folks. If you have been reading this blog lately you might have had a bit of whiplash as I went from having a blast in Last Epoch… to suddenly diving headlong into Path of Exile II.

The World is Burning

Good Morning folks. I am getting a bit later start than normal to blogging, because work got in the way. If it can start interrupting me at 6 am… I can take a brief break to bang out a blog post.
