The Emperor Protects!

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/28

Hey Folks! I was not really feeling it on Friday so I did not make a blog post. This weekend I spent most of my time playing single-player games, and I think that was a good call. In theory, I am prepping myself for the release of Dragon Age at the end of the month ... Read more The post The Emperor Protects! appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

A Lament for Uncomplicated Feelings

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/24

Good Morning Folks. Often times what you end up seeing here on my blog has at least started in some small part with some random comments here or there or on social media. Not that I expect anyone out there to be hanging on my ramblings, but if you follow me on Gamepad.club especially you ...

Wayfinder 1.0 Launched

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/23

Wayfinder is an interesting game. Back in March of 2023, I got into beta testing, which was under a strict NDA, so as a result I never talked about it publicly. I played the game quite a bit at the time and even managed to get into some multiplayer testing with my friend Ace and ...

Fears for Next Season

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/22

Good Morning Folks! It has taken a while for Diablo IV to reach the point of feeling amazing, but it truly is there. I should take a step back… it feels amazing if you are playing the new class Spiritborn. My Barbarian that I power leveled through Whispers Caches feels like complete ass comparatively. It ...

Stupid Alt Tricks

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/21

Good Morning Folks! I’m getting to the point where I think I am almost “done” with Diablo IV, at least until the next season rolls around. This is the inevitable place that I end up with seasonal model games like this and depending on how engaging they all have different cycles associated with them. In ...

AggroChat #497 – Kids on Bikes

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/20

Hey Folks! This week we start off with Ash’s early thoughts about Metaphor: ReFantazio. From there Grace and Bel decide to share some of the great things going on in Diablo IV after last week’s story bashfest. Kodra is Cursed and cannot upgrade hardware without it for some reason going completely off the rails. From ...

Chill Torment Four

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/18

Good Morning Folks. One of the things that went in with the Vessel of Hatred expansion is the ability to open up your wardrobe settings from anywhere in the world. This has been huge for me personally because I am highly motivated by making my characters look cool while playing the game. This morning out ...

AggroChat #495 – Just Let Your Soul Glo

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/06

Hey Folks! We start the show with a quick discussion about Path of Exile, and how we are now two months into a League, a position where things would normally be dead… and that the Currency Exchange is still hopping. This leads to a secondary discussion about Kodra’s woes as he attempts to do the ... Read moreThe post AggroChat #495 – Just Let Your Soul Glo appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

The Rebranding of New World

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/04

On the 15th of October, New World is launching the latest version of itself as Aeternum. There has been a heap of confusing marketing surrounding this event, and quite honestly a bit of weasel wording when it comes to what is actually about to transpire. Essentially Aeternum is the attempt to launch New World on ... Read more The post The Rebranding of New World appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Iron From Fear and Lava

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/03

Even thought I had used Modrinth to download and install mods, I had not actually been launching the game through it all this time. I had simply been copying the mods over manually into the appdata folder for Minecraft. However, I have learned… Minecraft mods update shockingly often. As a result, I have decided to ...

Witchfire Steam Early Access

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/02

Witchfire is a PVE guns and spells extraction shooter that I remember being somewhat interested in during Summer Games Fest 2022. It apparently has been in early access and available on the Epic Game store since last year, but being perfectly honest… a game might as well not exist for all the good launching on ...

Not Exactly AFK Journey

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/10/01

One of the things that has largely been absent from this blog for the last few years is mobile gaming. It is not necessarily that I lacked the desire to have stupid fun sleepytime nonsense gaming, but more that my hardware could no longer really support it. In 2018 I bought the Razer Phone 2, ...

Weekend Recap with Frogs

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/30

Good Morning Folks! It is another Monday and here comes another one of my semi-regular weekend recap posts. I am still in a really odd place gaming wise where I am not necessarily hardcore motivated by anything. I thought I might dive into Space Marine 2 or Final Fantasy XVI this weekend… but neither happened ... Read more The post Weekend Recap with Frogs appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

AggroChat #494 – Stardew Survivors

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/29

Hey Folks! This week we continue to chip away at the massive list of topics from our time off. We start off the show with an adorable Frog version of Vampire Survivors meets Stardew Valley called Pesticide Not Required. From there we talk a bit about Pokemon Go and what it is like playing it ... Read more The post AggroChat #494 – Stardew Survivors appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Unlimited Chicken

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/27

Good Morning Folks! Friends… I am swimming in cooked chicken. For years when I have played Minecraft the first thing that I have done is wrangle a bunch of cows… stuff them in a hole and then feed them wheat until they pass the entity cramming limits and start dying off giving me a stable ...

Failure to Slime

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/26

Good Morning folks! A while back I said that I thought my Minecraft Adventures would be over for a bit when the Last Epoch cycle reset happened… but that has not turned out to be the case. It turns out that the Last Epoch Empowered Monoliths are just not “brain off” enough time for me, ... Read more The post Failure to Slime appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Duck Duck Blue

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/25

Good Morning Friends. This morning’s post is going to be a bit meandering, but stick with me and I promise I will wrap things up into a point. One of the things that I have long lamented was the closing of Toys R Us. Sure it generally offered the highest possible price point you could ...

Cactuar Landed Gentry Again

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/06

Good Morning Folks! Today was a rather fortuitous day… that quite honestly I was not expecting. At the beginning of this year, I lost my first home in Final Fantasy XIV. I got busy with Christmas and the New Year and just was not logging into the game… and apparently completely missed the email warning ...

First Apothecary

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/05

Good Morning Folks. I did not end up blogging at all yesterday because I am feeling like a truck run over me. I had been fighting what felt like generic crud, but Tuesday night the bottom dropped out on me. I had scheduled an appointment with the doctor and shortly after I took one of ...

Celestial Spearbender

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/09/03

Good Morning Folks! Happy first day back from a long holiday weekend for my fellow United States friends. I took Friday off so as a result… today is going to be rough to get through. I am also still fighting whatever generic crud my wife brought home to me, and neither of us is in ... Read more The post Celestial Spearbender appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.
