The Waiting Game

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/12/02

Good Morning Folks! The weekend before last I had put up most of the Christmas decorations, but on Saturday I finally got our little tree up. Essentially we have a very small tree on top of the entertainment center because the cats have yet to figure out how to get up there. Prior to that ...

Spare Keys and Spoiler Season

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/27

Good Morning Folks! We’ve been in a bit of a holding pattern in the Path of Exile community wondering exactly when accounts would be flagged for early access for folks with a lifetime spend of $480 or more… aka the price of the largest yearly supporter pack. Apparently, that happened overnight and I was able ... Read moreThe post Spare Keys and Spoiler Season appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Don’t Take Vacation for POE2 Early Access

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/26

Good Morning Folks! I’m in a massive hype cycle for the early access launch of Path of Exile II next Friday. However, I would caution you my dear readers… to not actually take time off from work to play it. I’ve been watching something with a bit of trepidation, which is Path of Exile 2 ...

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 ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

Hey Folks! This is ACTUALLY episode 501 and we have the entire crew. We start off talking about the Settle folks surviving what was effectively a category one hurricane and living without power for around 48 hours.

Path of Exile 2 Early Access Hype

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/22

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday was an event from Grinding Gear Games that gave us the complete picture of what the Path of Exile 2 Early Access would look like. Essentially in two weeks, we are going to be able to play the game in a relatively finished state with a fully fleshed-out endgame. As far ...

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. I wrapped up my second voidstone and I gotta say… I am somewhat impressed at how much better I am now at doing these first ...

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. I spent most of last night snuggling with this goober while Gracie was on my legs. Especially now ... Read more The post Cats and Companions appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

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.

Missing Delve

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/12

Good Morning Folks! I am still on the Path of Exile NecroSettlers Event nonsense and honestly… I am finding myself missing Delve considerably worse than I thought I would. It is not necessarily that I am missing the activity… I am missing access to common stuff that I am simply not finding in maps. Up ...

Necro Settlers Event Fun

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. Since the world still feels like shit, I needed to retreat into some very familiar comfort gaming, and the Necro Settlers Event league in Path of Exile ...

Hey Folks! We are all reeling a bit from the past week, but we start off things with the joyful return of Ammo from her trip to Japan.

Automotive Packing

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/08

Morning folks. This is how my yesterday/today is going. Essentially I was supposed to go to a retirement party for the person who originally interviewed me. I left the house with plenty of time, and decided to swing by the pharmacy to pick up a prescription so I would not have to fight lines on ...

Too Many Charizards

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/07

Good morning folks. The last few days have been pretty hard to get through, and as such I have not blogged. I am still here and I am still okay-ish. I figured we could all use something cute, so I am starting off this post with my snuggling goobers. I’ve spent most of my time ...

Veilguard is Pretty Great

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/11/04

Hey Folks! On Friday I talked a little bit about my very early experiences starting a new character in Dragon Age The Veilguard… or I as I seem to keep shortening it to just Veilguard. There was a heap of negative press surrounding this game ahead of its launch and if you spend time on ... Read more The post Veilguard is Pretty Great appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.
