Path of Exile II After Patch 0.1.1

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/17

Good Morning Folks! I talked about Path of Exile II Patch 0.1.1 on Monday after its reveal over the weekend, but yesterday afternoon/evening it finally dropped. So of course last night I had to dip my head back into the game and check out what it felt like after the patch had landed. First I ...

I Love Murderbot!

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/15

Hey Folks! I appear to be on this short book kick right now. One of my goals for this year was to not have this massive gulf where I was not really reading anything. Essentially last year I went through this period from the launch of Dawntrail in the summer through to November where I ...

Last Epoch is Cozy

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/14

Good Morning Folks! Since Path of Exile II is awaiting a patch, I figured I would spend some time doing something else. Sunday I started an Acolyte and turned her into a Necromancer going down the path of doing a fairly common minions build since that is what I played almost 300 hours of in ...

Hey Folks! We have a bit of a long show because we wound up cramming a few games that we missed in the first show into this list. We round out our yearly tradition with the second part of our Games of the Year show. I am once again so glad that we decided a ...

Moment of Zen

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/10

Good Morning Folks! We’ve had a bit of a snowpocalpyse here in Oklahoma. We handle icy roads pretty well, but when you give us a bunch of inches of snow at once… pretty much all of our infrastructure breaks down. I had already taken the day off because we were supposed to go do something… ... Read more The post Moment of Zen appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Minecraft But Cumbersome

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/09

Hey Folks! I guess I might still be taking a bit of a break given that I did not blog yesterday. I am mostly spending my evenings chilling out mapping in Path of Exile II while listening to the latest book in the Divide series by J.S. Dewes. However there is another game that I ...

Failed Goals: The Books of 2024

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/07

Good Morning Folks! I’ve not done as much navel gazing as I usually do around this time of the year. Normally I do these posts over the holiday break as filler to keep my blog active. This year however I just took most of that time off from blogging entirely. I think it was good ... Read more The post Failed Goals: The Books of 2024 appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

An Unjuiced Life

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/06

Good Morning Folks! I took quite possibly the longest break I have ever taken with my blog over the break. It was good, and honestly I should allow myself to do this a bit more often. It isn’t necessarily that I did not want to blog, but more that I did not want to have ... Read more The post An Unjuiced Life appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/01/05

Hey Folks! It is that time again when we pull together our list of favorite games from 2024. In theory, we each get three primary choices and an almost unlimited number of honorable mentions… which causes us to divide the show into two packed episodes. In this case, we have 36 games on the list ... Read more The post AggroChat #506 – Games of the Year Show 2024 – Part One appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Infernalist vs Titan POE2 Mapping

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/30

Hey Folks! I decided to do something a little bit different… or at least different from what I have done recently. Occasionally I record videos of gameplay to illustrate a point, and this morning I spent time recording myself running a map on my Infernalist Minions character as well as running a map on my ...

2024/12/29

Hey Folks! We are back this week and only actually down one person which seems great for the holiday season. This week we start off talking about Toad’s Item Factory which is a multiperson minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kodra talks about his experiences playing it with his kiddo. From there Tam shares ... Read more The post AggroChat #505 – One Portal Woes appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Path of Exile II Rant Thread

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/27

Good Morning Folks! At least I hope it is still morning by the time I get this blog post out there. This thread is a bit out of ordinary for my normal post, and you are essentially getting a stream of consciousness rant about things that I think need to be improved in the game. ...

Goodbye Stampede and Hello Minions

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/26

When Path of Exile II was released into early access I had a pretty clear vision. I wanted to play a big tanky character that ran around with a two-handed weapon and a shield. I struggled to get this off the ground because starting off as the Warrior is pure misery. However given enough bashing ...

AggroChat #504 – You Know, For Kids

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/15

This week we start off with some discussion of the Video Game Trailer show… which really should just call itself that because the “Awards” thing feels like an afterthought at this point. Bel is excited for Witcher 4 and Dispatch, and Ash’s favorite game of all time is finally getting a Sequel. We also are ...

Stash Tab Sale Weekend

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/13

Good Morning Folks! Over the last week, I have felt like Gold Five telling my friends to “stay on target” any time they have been tempted to buy stash tabs. I knew this day was coming soonish because there is always another stash tab sale around the corner and it is never a good idea ...

2024/12/11

Hey Folks! Today has gone a bit differently than planned and as a result, I am a bit later getting a blog post out the door than normal. Yesterday I decided to fully embrace the Crab and picked up the last two armor pieces that I was missing from the Blue Crab armor set. I ...

Onwards to Act III and Patch Notes

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/10

Good Morning Folks. I have to admit I have been largely radio silent on social media about Path of Exile II, because as you might be able to tell from yesterday’s post… I am not exactly certain what to think about it. I had hyped myself up quite a bit going into the release of ... Read more The post Onwards to Act III and Patch Notes appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

This truly was a feat of cloud engineering as the Grinding Gear Games team delayed for a few hours to prepare for the onslaught of over a million players… then the game just worked pretty much ...
