Path of Exile Creator Land Run

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/05

This is going to be a bit of a weird one, for anyone not deeply entrenched in the names and faces of Path of Exile content creators. Essentially what triggered this blog post is a simple message that I saw scroll across my timeline over on BlueSky. Ziggy D, a content creator in the Path ...

Goodbye Necro Settlers

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/25

Good Morning Folks! The amount of hype that I have going into Path of Exile II is honestly worrying levels. It reminds me a bit of the way I felt about World of Warcraft going into the launch of that game all those years ago. I now have it sitting in my steam library taunting ...

Trade but Without Trading

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/21

Hey Folks! I’m getting a bit of a late start this morning on putting up a daily blog post, which is probably bad considering I hard skipped writing anything yesterday. I’ve been continuing to roam around in Path of Exile while I figure out what I want to tackle next, and made some significant progress ...

Dead Event League

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/19

Good Morning Folks. After wrapping up Veilguard I have now uninstalled the game to free up space for whatever comes next and am back futzing around with Path of Exile.

Veilguard Stuck the Landing

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/18

Good Morning Folks. Last night I stayed up a bit later than normal and finished Dragon Age Veilguard. This morning I am going to attempt to walk a narrow line of talking about the events of the game without going into a lot of details. There are absolutely going to be spoilers, but I am ...

Failing Some Goals

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/15

Folks… I have completely fallen off the wagon this year when it comes to books. I finished Apostles of Mercy in August and then just have not kept up with things. It really fell apart during my lead-up to Dawntrail in Final Fantasy XIV since my chosen vehicle for consuming books is playing an audiobook ...

Cats and Companions

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/14

Good Morning Folks. We had one of those weird early morning deliveries before I woke up, and I was too slow removing the box from the bar after unpacking it. As a result… Josie now lives here.

This Account Doesn’t Exist

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/13

There is a certain irony in the fact that it took me this long to actually go through with deleting my Twitter account, given how much effort I put into my final days of properly using the platform in trying to convert folks to Mastodon. I stopped regularly using the site in 2022 and even ... Read more The post This Account Doesn’t Exist appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/11

Hey Folks! I gotta admit I am still reeling from last week but luckily I am off today… so it means I get an extra day to decompress.
