I've been running a lot of dungeons in World of Warcraft Midnight and the culture feels wildly different from what it was when I last did this thing during the BFA/Shadowlands era. I talk a bit about this. aggronaut.com/2026/03/06/d...

Okay World of Warcraft plate wearing friends out there... have you found it fucking impossible to get a pair of damned boots to drop from anything? Nothing 220+ on the AH even, and none of the WorldQuests have rewarded any either. Same with dungeon drops.

No blog post this morning. I will be stuck in an all-day in-office meeting and a very sad panda as a result.

I hate the world we live in where if a game launches and does not immediately make every ounce of available money that it means the inevitable death of that studio

All of the level 90 220 ilvl blues from rares should really be flagged as warbound, so you could use all of the ones you don't need on alts.

Hey Folks! It is wild to me the population difference between headstart and official launch. At this point I am only missing boots from having 220 or better in every slot. I talk about various World of Warcraft Midnight things. aggronaut.com/2026/03/04/w...

Super Dungeon Friends is a discord I have had for ages and a bunch of people are in, but eons ago I made a Blizzard Chat Group thingy to mirror it but never really promoted it. Since I seem to be back in wow, no time like the present. launch.battle.net/invite/ZKrPk...

While today is the official launch for World of Warcraft Midnight, I wrapped up the campaign during headstart on Sunday and share my thoughts about the experience after largely being out of the game since Shadowlands. aggronaut.com/2026/03/03/m...

Last week I completely forgot about Mixtape Mondays, and honestly it was probably for the best because today is super hectic. I've been listneing to a bit darker music since my cancer diagnosis and this mix fits that theme. aggronaut.com/2026/03/02/m...

Harandar is to World of Warcraft what Heart of Thorns zones are to Guild Wars 2... annoying as hell verticality that make waypoint useless if you don't have the zone layout memorized

I hate that Elon ruined the word grok.

Hey Folks! This week we discussed: -- Steam Nextfest -- Under the Island -- Ayn Thor -- Late Retro Gaming -- Path of Exile Mirage League -- World of Warcraft Midnight -- Dune Awakening Double Resources aggronaut.com/2026/03/01/a... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nlG...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

So I admit when I was kid and a young adult I bought the story that we were the defenders of democracy... Now I mostly just see my country as a bully, or at worst, an abusive spouse that is constantly saying, "Look what you made me do". I hate this.

I feel like everyone has a Mandela Effect. For me, I would have sworn up and down that Tim Curry died after a stroke, not just adversely impacted by it.

In my further descent into elderhood... I just finished filling my pill divider for the next two weeks. I fucking hate splitting pills.

Yesterday we got the full content reveal stream for Path of Exile 3.28 Mirage League and I am pretty freaking excited about the sweeping changes. I am however completely torn as to what to start. aggronaut.com/2026/02/27/m...

Path of Exile Mirage live stream about to start www.twitch.tv/pathofexile

Yesterday I installed the Account Played addon and realized that I have spent two years of my life playing World of Warcraft... I have some feelings about that. I also share some of my hopes for Path of Exile Mirage League. aggronaut.com/2026/02/26/t...

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age. It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

I did a very dangerous thing. I installed the account played addon and then logged in all of my characters to collect the time played. Not shocked that Warrior, DK, Paladin, and Hunter are my four most played, considering I have multiple copies of each class across various servers.

Last night was a low key sibling time with @discgrace.bsky.social in Enshrouded as I explored the highest content, and I continue my descent into madness with my return to World of Warcraft. aggronaut.com/2026/02/25/l...

Whelp I logged in for housing... and then accidentally got caught up in leveling and the Midnight pre-launch event. Oops. I guess World of Warcraft is still sticky. aggronaut.com/2026/02/24/t...

I was truly all over the place this weekend from getting my buggy in Dune Awakening, to revisiting Wayfinder, to gliding wildly around Enshrouded... and finally landing Sunday in World of Warcraft and checking out the housing system. aggronaut.com/2026/02/23/d...

Hey Folks! This week we discussed: -- Dune Awakening return to our private server -- Enshrouded Hollow Halls -- Shape of Dreams run shaping -- Towerbolt -- Star Trek Online Buildcraft -- Last Epoch and Path of Exile aggronaut.com/2026/02/22/a... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFE5...

So the Last Epoch trailer had some rapid fire uniques, and one of them makes me want to build something around it. I love volatile zombies in general, and having recursive exploding minions seems great. Also Aura of Decay turning into a pseudo Righteous Fire seems good as well.

With the end of the Phrecia event in Path of Exile, I am all over the place. I talk about Mirage League 3.28, Dune Awakening, Enshrouded, No Man's Sky, and Project Gorgon. aggronaut.com/2026/02/20/g...

I really like the videos from @lauriewired.bsky.social If you are a technologist of some flavor and not watching these, I highly suggest doing so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnX5...

Good Morning Folks! Last night I spent most of the evening running from sandworms in Dune Awakening and made the Vermillius Gap crossing to the north and began the Iron Age of crafting. aggronaut.com/2026/02/19/g...

roughly one week since I changed my alarm from 5:30 to 6:30 and... I like the extra sleep, but I really hate feeling so rushed in the mornings Not sure if I am going to keep it this way or not

Mollie who mostly lives in the bedroom... has come upstairs and is quietly sitting on the floor right outside of my office... so I am guessing it is time to go feed the furbabies

Last night was another round of sibling time with @discgrace.bsky.social and since we seem to be shifting way from Destiny Rising, we played some Enshrouded and I completed my very first Hollow Hall. aggronaut.com/2026/02/18/s...

Morning Folks! Tam renewed our Dune Awakening private server and as such I am going back through the early progression. aggronaut.com/2026/02/17/r...

Good Morning Folks! This morning I bring you the third Mixtape in this modern series and twenty sixth overall since starting Mixtape Mondays. This time it is a bit of a remix inspired by a playlist that @marshmaloaf.bsky.social posted the other day. aggronaut.com/2026/02/16/m...

YouTube decided I needed to see this, so you do too. Reminder of how cool the animated intro for Battleborn was. Sadly, it was a game genre I had no real interest in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qynv...

You haven't experienced the best Massively Multiplayer content until you've been part of a (successful) Drizzlewood Coast meta event

This will probably be controversial... but I feel like Ixalan was the best Magic the Gathering setting we have had in ages. Dinosaurs, Vampires, Pirates, Merfolk, and Aztec adjacent nonsense??? Fuck yes.

The curse of modern gaming... the compling shaders screen

So, with the failures of Highguard and seemingly 2XKO, I feel like the challenge is this. In an era dominated by forever games, your game has to be very clear about what sets it apart to get anyone to notice it.

I swear sometimes it takes a cover to make you appreciate a song. I love The Killers and will pretty much listen to anything they have ever played. However I very much remember this song, but don't remember being terribly fond of it, but I deeply dig this cover. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey_j...

Every time there is a single sponsor that seems to be sponsoring every youtube channel... I wonder how long it will be before we find out that they sacrifice children, or are a front of some foreign government... Looking at you Zocdoc... how long before we find out you kick puppies?

This morning I talk a bit about the shadow drop of the Warlock class for Diablo II Resurrected, the Lunar New Year event in Destiny Rising, and some of the stuff that came out of yesterday's Sony State of Play event. aggronaut.com/2026/02/13/d...

installing and patching up Elder Scrolls Online on my new computer. It's been eons since I last played, but I have sort of gotten the bug to do so.

When I first moved into my house, I had to run to Radio Shack and buy something, and Garth Brooks walked in wearing coveralls and a beat-up OSU baseball cap. He was buying RJ11 to run some phone lines at his ranch. Seemed pretty chill and nice.

ko-fi.com/missbonekitt... New goal. Same problems. All the help we've gotten has been incredibly useful, keeping us afloat. I'll post the GFM below, it's still going and I know ppl might feel more comfortable with it. I just get kofi donations faster.
