Good Morning Folks! At the time if writing this, the Necropolis League for Path of Exile is roughly six hours away. The start will happen at roughly 2 pm CDT and since I have the day off I plan on being there attempting to get in at the very beginning. The only question is whether or not I go through the hassle of trying to download the standalone client which always updates faster than Steam. I’ve not actually run the standalone client in previous leagues but this is the only true way to be in the queue before most of the folks are there. That said I honestly don’t care quite so much about s ..read more

Pumped for Necropolis

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 am way more excited about this league than I expected to be honest. I think part of that excitement comes from the sweeping changes that are happening in the end game, which are something that the average player may not fully understand. This morning I am going to talk a bit about these changes and how they ar ..read more

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 league so that I never have to deal with them again unless I am specifically fishing for an item. I do the same for the Guild Stash but unfortunately, it does not prevent me from having to log in on the day of a new league and set everything back up again. During Sanctum I started this tradition of talking abou ..read more

Horizon Forbidden West on PC

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. For me… not being a souls-like fan I played this game originally on the PS5 but bounced around the midpoint of the game, or at least what I feel like is the midpoint. After some time I made the decision just to wait and revisit it when it released on PC since I enjoyed the first game infinitely more with a mouse and ..read more

Done Isn’t a Bad Thing

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 this cycle and not that I was done with the game completely. At this point, I have pushed my Echo Warpath Void Knight all the way to level 100 and seen all of the content that there is to see save for doing higher corruption pushing which feels largely pointless. On top of that I created another character for an attempt at making somethi ..read more

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 over 2000 hours playing. Anyways… some years back there was a dream proposed by GOG of having a single interface to interact with all of your games. The problem with that was that GOG Galaxy was a bit of a mess. It consumed a ton of resources and regularly disconnected from all of the platforms you were capable of connecting it to… never q ..read more

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 visitor rather than a resident. Largely I say this in part to make sure my biases are known. Yesterday Mastodon, the primary branch of the fediverse hit 15 million total users which of course caused a round of congratulatory posts as a result. Thing is… I am not sure that number means what the gene ..read more

Hey Folks we’re back! Sorry for the week off but we return with a full docket of topics.  We start off with some more discussion of Last Epoch and how everyone is still enjoying the game.  Bel dinged 100 for the first time and we talked a bit about buildcraft and approachability.  From there Bel talks about Dwarven Realms an ARPG of a sort that has gained traction this week amongst some of the streamers that is just “big dumb fun”. From there Ash goes down a list of Roguelikes that he has been enjoying lately namely Astral Ascent, Spiritfall, and Balatro. Tam revisits his topic ..read more

Friends… sometimes I get something stuck in my head that I cannot seem to forcibly dislodge. I’ve also been sick the last few days so apologies for the lack of any semblance of a post yesterday. Anyways… a while back I wrote a post talking about my attempt at creating something that feels like Righteous Fire in Last Epoch and it was great… up until the point that it was not. The build sort of just fell apart when I entered the level 100 Empowered Monoliths because I was not dealing enough damage and did not have enough survival… so basically could not keep moving forward with it. I attempted ..read more
