New Metas, New Weapons, and New PCs

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/21

Good Morning Folks. I am getting a bit of a late start today because I am fighting some sort of unnamed crud. On Tuesday I had a bunch of doctors appointments, and I am pretty sure I picked up something in the waiting room. I had been hacking and coughing for a few days and ...

Games to Watch: Spirit Vale, Hytale, Guild Wars Reforged

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/19

Good Morning Folks! I could do a blog post about my meager progression in Path of Exile, but I will be honest that gets boring over time. Instead I am going to talk about a few games that stumbled into my awareness over the last few days. First up YouTube actually served me something interesting ...

Pile of Shame

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/18

Good Morning Folks! I took the day off because I have several doctors appointments stacked up. A few weeks ago I dealt with a medical issue brought on by a change in medication, and that has triggered a bunch of referrals to specialists. The positive is all of the tests have turned up nothing special, ... Read more The post Pile of Shame appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Ice Trap of Hollowness Elementalist

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/17

Good Morning Folks! When last I talked about my second build of the league, I was nearing the end of the campaign and it was still dominating. I had quite possibly the easiest time transitioning into maps that I have ever had, and after running a yellow map to test things out, I jumped straight ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/16

Hey Folks! We recorded a massive show where we effectively burned through our entire backlog of topics. We start off talking about the new character, Maru, in Destiny Rising, and how this seems to be leading us to finally getting off the planet. Kodra discusses Broom Sweeper, which is effectively the Roguelikeification of Minesweeper. Bel ... Read moreThe post AggroChat #547 – The Gabe Cube appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Snowblind

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/14

Good Morning Folks. For a short week… it was one hell of a long week. I did not post yesterday because I was not really sure I had much of anything to say. I’ve shifted my focus over to leveling my now Elementalist that is attempting to retrace the steps that I made previously with ...

Freezy Boom Revisited

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/12

Good Morning Folks. Sometimes in a game there is an event that I so loathe… that I cannot bring myself to complete. For me lately that has been the Festival of the Lost event running currently in Destiny Rising. It took what was quite possibly one of my most favorite game modes… Realm of the ...

Oops an Audiobook

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/11

I woke up this morning and as I am oft to do… I sat in bed for a moment and scrolled through email to see what came in over night. I saw a charge from Audiobooksnow the site that I tend to buy my audiobooks for that was $9.99, and had a mild freak out. ...

Onslaught with Friends

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/10

Good Morning Folks! Last night I had quite a lot of fun running around in Destiny Rising with Ace and Ammo. Since we had last grouped Ammo had managed to finish up the main storyline which opened access to a whole slew of new activities. She had not experienced Gauntlet Onslaught, aka the raid at ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/09

We start off the show with some discussion about Geek Girl Con and how it is a great experience for the entire family. From there, Ash has played a bit more Daggerheart and discusses how not having initiative in that game actually works out really well. Kodra is trying a new mine build in Path ...

Blog Woes and Maru Booms

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/07

Good Morning Folks. I did not get a blog post out yesterday, because for most of the day my site was bricked. This all started the night before with a deluge of spam, that my spam filter seemingly failed to remove. I cleared it up and decided I would investigate the issues in the morning. ...

Of Sleep and Beasts

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/05

Good Morning Folks, and I legitimately mean it this time. Yesterday was a pretty awful day seeing as I basically got zero sleep Monday night. I was feeling broadly awful by the time I sat down to blog, and was effectively dead to the world the entire day. I had taken the day off because ...

Rough Night

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/04

Good Morning Folks. I had a fairly miserable night, and I am hoping at some point today I can take a nap. I was struggling to breathe all day, and coughing quite a bit… then as I prepped for bed the wheezing got pretty awful. So I opted to take a breathing treatment thinking that ...

Unfamiliar Arms

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/03

Good Morning Folks! Friday was the beginning of a new league in Path of Exile, and I spent most of the weekend grinding away at content. The biggest problem that I am having… is that I am enjoying the new Breach mechanic too much, and as such I went super slowly during the campaign. I ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/11/02

This week, we start off with some discussion around Path of Exile 3.27, the Keepers of the Flame league, and how we are doing breach to make things with the tree tree. From there, we talk a bit about the murder of Amazon Game Studios and how New World is essentially a shambling corpse now… ...

Dancing For Strangers

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/31

Good Morning Folks. Today is like Rex Manning day… except it is the launch of the Keepers League in Path of Exile. I took the day off… which generally is a mistake to do for the launch of anything. However I have a stack of tasks that I am going to try and accomplish today ... Read moreThe post Dancing For Strangers appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Festival of the Fail

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/30

Today was the release of the Festival of the Lost event in Destiny Rising, and I have to admit I have been looking forward to this. Festival of the Lost was hands down my favorite event to occur in Destiny 2, and it always had some kind of cool trick or treat theming, and while ...

Visions of Eternity Early Thoughts

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/29

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday about mid day the Visions of Eternity expansion dropped in Guild Wars 2, giving us access to new areas and new elite specs. I’ve not made it past the first zone, but I have to say that Shipwreck Strand is freaking gorgeous. Probably the most interesting thing about the zone so ...

Heys for Days

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/28

Good Morning Folks. The one thing that worries me a bit about Destiny Rising is that it is getting a bit harder to fight “New Lights” to harass. Essentially the hardest part of the dailies… are the mentor dailies. This is of course something that I do not actually need to do at all… but ...

Fun with Podiums

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/27

Good Morning Folks. It was a weird weekend. I spent a good chunk of it working on the garage since it was much cooler out there than it has been. At this point I have cleaned out the north side of the garage, put up cabinets, and then shifted anything that did not fit from ...
