AggroChat: Tales of the Aggronaut Podcast Mark "Belghast" Temple

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen
 
Hey Folks! We start off the show talking about some of the recent updates to Pathfinder adding a number of player background options including build your own animal race.  Kodra talks about his experience finishing up Animal Well, and Ash talks about playing a game that mimics raiding in Final Fantasy XIV called Rabbit & Steel.  Bel shares his thoughts so far about Diablo IV Season 4, where they gave up on whatever the original vision was and just made the ARPG people expected them to make.  This ends up in a side conversation about how breaking an implied promise and removing content from your game is very hard to pull off.  We talk about still being bitter about Cataclysm and Destiny 2.

Hey Folks! We have a bit of a “Smol” show at least when it comes to cast.  Last week we had to take that off because Bel was in “duck and cover” mode do to the storm system tearing through the center of the country and producing over one hundred Tornados.  This week we had a bunch of folks with other commitments leaving it with just Bel, Kodra, and Tam.  We talk a bit about the Helldivers Review Bomb, Angry Tarkov Players, and a now-fixed outrageous bug in Path of Exile that allowed for 18 linking a skill. From there we dive into some of Tam’s recent experiences in trying to get Fallout New Vegas up and running and how like Bel said a few weeks back…  the games really still hold up well once you get past the technical limitations. Kodra gives a bit of a round-up of Metroidvania titles that he has been playing recently and then talks a bit about considering Strawberry Jam “done” after beating the Expert Lobby Yellows.

We had a bit of a cursed show…  Tam lost power and was essentially knocked out of the rest of the show and then Ash disconnects as well and takes a bit to get back in.  We push through however as we always do.  Bel talks about returning to Fallout 76 and all of the cool changes that have been put in since he last played.  Thalen talks about Open Source Star Control 2 aka Free Stars.  Ash continues his journey into Roguelikes talking about Anomaly Collapse and Inkbound.  Thalen and Kodra share their thoughts about The Sign, the latest episode of Bluey, and Grace shares their thoughts about AFK Journey.  Finally, Bel talks a bit about the recent market crash in the Path of Exile Necropolis league, making many chase items more accessible.

This week we are down a Kodra and a Grace but carry on with a short list of topics.  First, we talk some more about playing Secrets of Grindea in its final form.  Tam has ventured forth into Helldivers 2 and talks a bit about what makes the gameplay so infectious.  Thalen introduces us further into Chants of Sennaar a game that he has decided is the spiritual successor to Loom.
