2024/04/12

Good Morning Folks. This is going to be one of those posts that occasionally shows up on my blog that is of a more personal nature and that I do not go through any effort to syndicate. Both last week and this week I missed a blog post, and I have to be honest… sitting ... Read more The post Not Feeling It appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Fallout Good So Far

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/11

Hey Folks! Yesterday I just wasn’t feeling a blog post. It happens sometimes. It almost happened today given how damned late I am getting around to writing something. Today you are getting a bit of a smorgasbord post containing a few disconnected things. The Fallout Series on Amazon Prime is now out and available and ...

The Perandus Pact

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/09

Good Morning Folks! I find myself starting to feel that old familiar itch… the one that involves me leveling a second character. I have no clue what I actually want to make but that isn’t important. What is important is that I know before long I will wind up chasing some new character and trying ... Read more The post The Perandus Pact appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Fun with Rogue Exiles

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/08

Good Morning Folks! Things continue to truck along happily in the post-patch Necropolis league. The only real problem I am having right now is that there are too many things that I would like to be doing. Normally speaking I tend to focus hard on a single mechanic, and more often than not that is ... Read more The post Fun with Rogue Exiles appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

One Week of Necropolis League

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/05

Good Morning Folks! What a difference a few days can make. When I wrote my Monday post I talked about how big of a falloff this league has had and how it might go down as one of the worst leagues. The difference between the worst league and the best league is a handful of ... Read moreThe post One Week of Necropolis League appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Pinchy Pal

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/03

Good Morning Folks! I don’t have a massive blog post this morning as I am sort of just trucking along in the league and grinding things out on my Righteous Fire Chieftain. I hit 90% to all resistances by leveling my Purity of Fire the rest of the way to 20 and have been slowly ... Read more The post Pinchy Pal appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Necropolis Changes Coming

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/04/02

Good Morning Folks! Well… that was a rapid turnaround. Yesterday GGG released a post on their forums indicating what they were planning on doing to resolve the dissatisfaction with the Necropolis league mechanic. When a league has reportedly the largest drop-off in player numbers I am guessing Klaxxons start firing and the teams rush into ...

Pumped for Necropolis

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/28

Morning Friends! I have to say I am getting pretty freaking pumped for the Necropolis League start on Friday. I’m off work on that day due to the Good Friday holiday and plan on starting things up when the servers go live. I will probably talk a bit about my league plans tomorrow, but I ...

3.23 Builds in Review

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/27

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday was the official end of the Affliction League in Path of Exile and with it comes the quarterly job of shoving all of those “Remove Only” tabs under the bed. My strategy for the end of each league is to group all of those tabs into a folder named after that ... Read more The post 3.23 Builds in Review appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Horizon Forbidden West on PC

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/26

I have to admit I feel a little bit bad for the Guerilla Games. This game released in early 2022 and was somewhat screwed over by Elden Ring releasing within a few days of it. Now the PC version is finally out and it is colliding up against the release date for Dragon’s Dogma II. ... Read more The post Horizon Forbidden West on PC appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Done Isn’t a Bad Thing

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/25

This weekend we talked a bit about Last Epoch and I get the impression that I came off as a bit more negative than I had expected. When I said “I think I am done with Last Epoch”, it was meant to indicate that I had seen all that I really wanted to see during ...

Exploring Playnite

2024/03/20

Hey Folks! This is going to be a bit of a niche topic, but I guess in truth pretty much everything that I talk about is a niche topic. Most people do not give a shit about the minutiae of whatever build I happen to be working on in an ARPG that I have spent ...

Migration as a Service

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/19

Morning Folks! In the great roulette that is post-Twitter social media, I’ve largely thrown my hat into the ring with Mastodon. I’ve been there long enough at this point that it just feels the most comfortable. I pretty regularly poke my head into Bluesky as well, but it feels very much like I am a ...

Good Morning Folks! If you follow any of the ARPG YouTubers or Streamers you will have probably heard of Dwarven Realms.
