Good Morning Folks. This morning I wrote a bit of gaming propaganda for why you should check out #LastEpoch for the #TombsOfTheErased season 2 start on Thursday. I contrast the game a bit with #Diablo and #PathOfExile and dive into the specific reasons why I love this game.
Never sponsored, just a rabid fan.

Good Morning Folks. I've legitimately reached a point with #PathOfExile II where I am enjoying myself, but this morning I talk about progressing through maps and craving some sort of system to deterministically allow me to run the same content over and over. The game needs Scarabs or even the Idols from Phrecia.

I just got the Lake of Kalandra map in #PathOfExile II and that was cool. Wildly different than the Lake of Kalandra mechanic from the first game, but still a really cool visual.
Morning Folks. Yesterday, there was a pretty significant patch for #PathOfExile II, and as such, I spent the night playing through the campaign on an alt. The changes are significantly better than they were, so the game is once again starting to go in the right direction.
Mapping content still needs to be a bit more rewarding, but baby steps.
Might be a good time for an #introduction!
I'm #autistic and #ADHD. I'm a cis male, but I go by they/them pronouns because pronouns are cool and I support the cause! And, well, manly culture kinda sucks, anyway. I'm #demisexual.
I work in tech, which is meh, but I apply those skills for #FOSS work and #cat volunteering in my free time. I have a cat, and I currently house a cat family of 3.
I enjoy #anime and #manga, and enjoy good literary analysis. Writing #MHA "fix-it" fic, currently enjoying #kagurabachi.
I enjoy games! I'm big on #PathOfExile, #LastEpoch and #Warframe. Really need to finish my #persona3 playthrough, though...
I own a #bass, but it currently collects dust as I'm dealing with stuff. I like #coffee and #beer.
So far the #PathOFExile II patch seems really solid. I've been playing my baby minion character and I zipped through act 1 without any significant issues. Essentially playing raging spirits and arsonists like I did last league and it works well enough.
Morning Folks. I finished up act six in #PathOfExile II last night and started mapping. Things are going slow and steady... but honestly, it is so unrewarding that it just isn't terribly fun.
Slow and Steady But Unrewarding
https://aggronaut.com/2025/04/10/slow-and-steady-but-unrewarding/
so I got to maps in #PathOfExile II, and I gotta say... after seeing the tiny amount of loot that I got, I am not sure if I am going to keep going.
Maybe six items worth picking up, one rare for the entire map and a few pieces of bubblegum currency
this has to be bugged
Morning Folks. Yesterday was a fairly important interview between Zizaran and Jonathan/Mark from Grinding Gear Games. I talk about it... the immediate announced changes, and also the quiet exit of Chris Wilson from the company.
Thank You Zizaran

Morning Folks. There is one thing that you have to admit about me... I can be deeply stubborn. Yesterday I pushed through the Acts in #PathOfExile 2 and have finally reached a point of viability with my Smith of Kitava build.
It ain't great, but it is much better than it was.
Hey Folks. This weekend #PathOfExile II Dawn of the Hunt launched... and honestly it is sort of shit. This morning I talked about my frustrations as well as the collective frustrations of the community.
I thought the game was only going to improve after launch, but I was wrong.

LOL that was the most passive-aggressive #PathOfExile trade I have ever had.
I am back playing Phrecia because POE2 was ass... and getting a heavy trade volume this morning which makes me things others are doing the same.
I have a dump tab for jewels and pretty much put 20c on all of them. Guessing the player had a problem with the price because they traded me the currency one chaos orb in the window at a time.
Over lunch I recorded a full video about the build I talked about this morning. Mostly, I wanted to record it now because come POE2 league start... not sure how much I will still play Phrecia characters.
Storm Brand of Indecision Surfcaster is fun... but my build is super freaking squishy.
Morning Folks. Yesterday I ended up discovering a potential unintended consequence of Storm Brand of Indecision and the Thunderstruck notable. I talk about this nonsense and the general state of my Surfcaster build in the #PathOfExile #LegacyOfPhrecia event.
