Guildmom Shade Victim

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/24

Good Morning Folks! I am not sure why I used an exclamation point other than habit, but it isn’t that I have terribly exciting news to talk about. I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing some Final Fantasy XIV and along with a lot of roulettes and trials with my friend Ace, I ...

AggroChat #482 – Roguelike Asteroids

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/23

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Tamrielo Hey Folks! We are down essentially half our folks and as a result, we have a bit shorter show than our normal fare. We start off with some discussion about Grace’s return to Final Fantasy XIV and how Bel “influenced” them into coming back. From there we talk a ...

Chill Edgelord

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/21

Morning Folks! I popped into the game for a bit this morning before sitting down to write this blog post about nothing and dinged 89 on Dark Knight. That means I am very easily going to polish off that job today probably by doing a set of Hippo Dailies and a MSQ Roulette. Then I ...

Ill-Fitting Pants

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/20

Good Morning Folks! I find myself in one of those transitional periods in gaming… where the thing you really want to be playing has not come out yet, but everything that you are playing is not quite right. I am having a heck of a lot of fun in Final Fantasy XIV but essentially only ... Read more The post Ill-Fitting Pants appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Quest List Clean-Up

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/19

Good Morning Folks! I’ve now reached a point on my Warrior where I feel like I am prepared for Dawntrail. I’ve gotten my gear level up to 630 and can technically do all of the content in the game if I so choose. I’ve started focusing on my Dark Knight a bit in trying to ...

Bad Week Is Bad

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/14

Friends… it has been kind of a shit week. First, there was the whole crisis with my left eye that started on Saturday, continued through Sunday, and got some minor resolution on Monday. I still have trouble seeing out my eye but at least I know with some measure of certainty that I am not ... Read moreThe post Bad Week Is Bad appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

NostalgiaTube

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/13

Morning Folks! I’ve loved toys and assorted video game/nerd culture kitsch for my entire life. The problem that I have run into is that I just don’t really have any more room for anything… and I am not exactly displaying what I do have in a reasonable manner. This has deeply curbed my desire to ... Read more The post NostalgiaTube appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Bridging the Chasm

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/12

Good Morning Folks! I guess I will probably keep giving health updates at the start of posts for a bit. So far there isn’t a lot of change from yesterday. I think maybe having chunks of my vision occluded periodically by floaters is just my new normal. Most of the time I can get used ...

Maelstrom Captain

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/11

Hey Folks! I’m getting around to a bit of a late start because we lost power for a few hours this morning essentially throwing my entire day into disarray. I figure I probably owe you all an update to yesterday’s post, so I am going to attempt to condense things down a bit. I had ...

Unwanted Sandstorm

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/10

Good Morning Friends. I am going to write this post in what I hope is the least “poor pitiful me” manner I can muster but I am still pretty freaked out. I’ve said that this blog is part therapy for me, and honestly… this is one of those blog posts that I do not plan ... Read more The post Unwanted Sandstorm appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

AggroChat #480 – Number One Fan

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/09

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Bel crash lands the introduction by completely managing to skip over Thalen. We have a pretty packed show as several things got bumped from the previous show. We start off the show with some discussion of Luck Be A Landlord, a game that was ...

The Worst Part About FFXIV

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/07

Good Morning Friends! Remember yesterday when I said I was hesitant to finish up the Final Fantasy XIV storyline? Well… sometimes I contradict myself because I did precisely that. I was about maybe a third of the way catching up on the story when I started this mission over the weekend. I am honestly surprised ...

Problems With Goals

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/06

Good Morning Folks! This is going to be a bit of a tangent post, but given that, I don’t have anything terribly pressing to talk about… I am going to roll with it. I have a problem with goals. What I mean by that is not that I necessarily have a problem setting goals, but ... Read more The post Problems With Goals appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Janthir Wilds Announcement

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/05

As I talked about in yesterday’s post, we were essentially in a holding pattern waiting for the announcement to drop for Guild Wars 2 Expansion 5. This sort of leaked out in drips and drabs throughout Monday and Tuesday morning, and then finally landed with the trailer showing up officially on YouTube around 11 am ...

Landspear Dreams

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/06/04

Good Morning Folks! I feel like it is important for me to take a brief moment to marvel at just how damned active the Guild Wars 2 community is. This was a screenshot of me waiting on Shadow Behemoth to spawn in Queensdale at like 6:30 this morning. By the time the event spawned, there ...

Siege and Throne Down

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/05/31

It is no longer morning… and honestly, I have no clue why I have struggled to get blog posts out for the last few days. Whatever the case I had a bit of a lucky streak last night. After being largely unable to get a spot in either a Siege of Orgrimmar or Throne of ... Read moreThe post Siege and Throne Down appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Was Necropolis Bad?

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/05/30

In part, I blame the “D4 Bad” meme that became so prevalent that there are entire AI-generated meme channels about it, but recently I’ve come across a number of think pieces diving into whether or not 3.24 aka the Necropolis League was good or not. Technically Necropolis is not over and won’t be officially finished ... Read more The post Was Necropolis Bad? appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

The Mixed Bag of Group Finder

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/05/29

Good Morning Folks! I had a very weird evening in Pandara Remix. I’ve basically reached the place where I have only a handful of vectors to scale up my character. I could pour copious amounts of bronze into upgrades… but I would FAR rather have a fat stack of mounts than buy temporary power in ...

Raid Leveling Not for Me

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/05/28

Good Morning Folks! I am still sort of in this pattern of MOSTLY playing World of Warcraft Pandaria Remix. I’ve come to realize that I do not have the fortitude to play this optimally… which would be to do ALL of the world bosses, a random heroic and normal dungeon, a random heroic and normal ...

Multiple Caps Reached

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/05/27

Good Morning Folks! Or at least I hope to finish writing this and publish it within a timeframe that could still be referred to as “morning”. Here in the United States, it is Memorial Day and as such I would normally count this as part of my weekend and not blog. However, I found myself ...
