The PlayStation thing sorta sucks, but I already only buy digital games, so it doesn't really impact me. Life is too short to get up and change your disc.

Morning, Folks. The whiplash of returning to Path of Exile Phrecia event after mainlining Path of Exile 2 has made me realize there are a ton of things that I hate about mapping in POE2. aggronaut.com/2026/07/01/m...

Mapping in POE2 Kinda Sucks - Tales of the Aggronaut

After returning to POE1 for the Phrecia event I have come to realize a bunch of things that make mapping in POE2 feel like ass.

I liked Supergirl a lot. I do not understand the weird fallout I am seeing. It's a solid six out of ten experience. Lobo was also great.

Dialla and her Not-A-Cockroach affectations will always be my favorite character in Path of Exile

Been thinking about the phrase "I would not wish X on my worst enemy" and I don't think I have any enemies or at least I'm oblivious to it

I really hate the recent proliferation of AI slop in local commercials. The latest one is a bunch of fireworks commercials full of dead-eyed drones waving flags and shit.

what I am planning on playing here in a few minutes for the path of exile phrecia event poe.ninja/poe1/profile... I got it to 95 during a gauntlet so I am pumped to see what it is like under normal circumstances

Blog? People still do that? Well, yes! Mine happens to be 20 years old as of today! pixelnomad.ca/2026/06/25/h... Here's to 20 more.

Morning Folks. This morning is a batch of randomness from talking about Guild Wars 2, Path of Exile, Path of Exile II. Really looking for the Phrecia event tomorrow. aggronaut.com/2026/06/24/t...

Tequatl and Phrecia - Tales of the Aggronaut

More Guild Wars 2, Path of Exile II, and looking forward to the Trials of the Ancestors Returns event with Phrecia ascendancies.

Everything wrong with my life can neatly be summarized under the category of "chemo"

@agameofthorns.bsky.social I feel like this mix is also going to be tailored towards your interests... no pun intended

It's time for another Mixtape Mondays release, this time a very melancholic mix of 90s alt-rock that is deeply near and dear to my heart. You can hear what 90s protobel was like. aggronaut.com/2026/06/22/m...

Another Mixtape joins the archive, this time it is deeply melancholic alt-rock from the 90s, and very near and dear to my heart.

I am watching Fletch because it was a comfort movie growing up, and realizing I had never seen the intro credits because the copy I had was recorded off HBO.

I am sure no one actually cares, but working on a new mixtape for Monday

when you are falling asleep on the couch... but you go to bed and are flooded with a cascade of bullshit thoughts that your brain thought you needed to think all the sudden and am now wide awake

We spent last night questing in Orr as a group in Guild Wars 2, but before and after that, I focused on World Completion on my Guardian, which is still a super chill process. aggronaut.com/2026/06/19/w...

World Completion Still Chill - Tales of the Aggronaut

Yesterday I started on a World Completion in Guild Wars 2 on my Guardian, and it is still a super chill and enjoyable process.

I walked a good friend through the process of getting a Trial Carry in Path of Exile 2 the other day, which made me realize a guide that demystifies the process might be warranted. aggronaut.com/2026/06/18/h...

How To Buy a Carry - Tales of the Aggronaut

This morning I talk about the process of buying a carry in Path of Exile 1 and 2 in an attempt to demystify the process.

Everquest Legends does not want me to play it. It will not take my credit card.

As a GenX cusper... I feel like none of the marketing actually targets me. There is still a lot that feels like it is targeting the boomers, and more that feels like it is targeting younger groups. But it sort of feels like they never figured my generation out and just skipped it.

Thank you, hacktivists.

This is bombshell stuff.

I originally compared Jesse Wells to early John Mellencamp... but I think that is wrong. He is the Woody Guthrie of a new generation.

I am bad at doing this in a timely manner, but I updated my Letterboxd with recent movie reviews. letterboxd.com/Belghast/

Bel Temple’s profile

Bel uses Letterboxd to share film reviews and lists. 16 films watched. Favorites: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Nightbreed (1990), Near Dark (1987), Pacific Rim (2013). Bio: Xennial • Widow • PetDad...

Well, that was surreal... I just had three officers show up at my house as a welfare check because I did not return the call from my primary care office

It's been a bit since I last cat shared... this is Josie. She has been glued to my side lately since the chemo effects have gotten really bad. She seemingly wants to take care of me and occasionally grooms me. She is such a pure little spud.

Highly recommended! I've been in [GREY] for years now, and it's full of lovely people.

Side note, anyone also getting back into Guild Wars 2 and needs a good home, hit me up. We are not terribly active, but people always come back. That is sort of the unofficial motto of all of the guilds I help run... we always eventually come back.

You know the thing I miss from my childhood? Having a jean jacket with a bajillion patches and buttons on it. I should remedy that at some point.

What if we held hands in the dark while watching all of the oligarchs and tech bros burn?

Good Morning, Folks. Recently I have been feeling the itch to make my way back into Guild Wars 2, so last night I did exactly that. It is always amazing how easy it is to drop into events and just go with the flow. aggronaut.com/2026/06/16/e...

Easing Back In - Tales of the Aggronaut

I've been getting the itch to play some Guild Wars 2 and last night I eased my way back into the game through events.

Explain your @ I have used Belghast as my social handle since the invention of social media. It was my Human Warrior Tank character in World of Warcraft that I was most associated with. I got so used to being called Bel that these days all of my characters start with that.

Explain your @ I used to play an rp called Changeling: the Lost many years ago now... Jokingly, my fiance once referred to it as "A Game of Thorns" and thus a new screen name for me was born into existence lol
