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.

aggronaut.comMapping in POE2 Kinda Sucks - Tales of the AggronautAfter returning to POE1 for the Phrecia event I have come to realize a bunch of things that make mapping in POE2 feel like ass.

1 July

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...

1 July

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

There is I guess the ai techbros, oligarchs, and the current administration but that doesn't feel as personal as that statement demands

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.

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.

aggronaut.comTequatl and Phrecia - Tales of the AggronautMore Guild Wars 2, Path of Exile II, and looking forward to the Trials of the Ancestors Returns event with Phrecia ascendancies.

24 June

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...

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

I do worry, though, about how long the process of "bouncing back" will be, given that tomorrow I take treatment 7 of 8, and I will be done before I know it now

Yesterday I realized that it has mostly wrecked my taste buds since most things largely taste the same right now

aggronaut.comMixtape Mondays: Jangly Bits - Tales of the AggronautAnother Mixtape joins the archive, this time it is deeply melancholic alt-rock from the 90s, and very near and dear to my heart.

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

Belghast@belghast.com

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...

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

aggronaut.comWorld Completion Still Chill - Tales of the AggronautYesterday I started on a World Completion in Guild Wars 2 on my Guardian, and it is still a super chill and enjoyable process.

19 June

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...

aggronaut.comHow To Buy a Carry - Tales of the AggronautThis morning I talk about the process of buying a carry in Path of Exile 1 and 2 in an attempt to demystify the process.

18 June

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...

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

Okay, I sorted it out, not sure why it was not taking it originally. Maybe issues on the processor. Right now, I am thinking a Shadowknight/Cleric/Monk either that or a Shadowknight/Shaman/Monk

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.

To be fair, I am fine with this because it's all meaningless bullshit anyway... I just find it interesting

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

letterboxd.comBel Temple’s profileBel 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...

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

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.

Don't tell Gracie, but Josie has always been my favorite. I try not to let any of the girls know that. Weirdly the most skittish cat Mollie has been sleeping with me lately. They all know I am deeply broken and are trying to help.

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

Belghast@belghast.com

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?

aggronaut.comEasing Back In - Tales of the AggronautI've been getting the itch to play some Guild Wars 2 and last night I eased my way back into the game through events.

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...

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.

This post is unavailable.

Technically, the first Belghast of mine was an Iksar Warrior in EverQuest, and I arrived at it by ramming harsh sounds together until I got something I liked.

aggronaut.comRaven RF Mostly Works - Tales of the AggronautI got my Raven RF build up and running in Path of Exile II and I talk a bit about it and why it doesn't quite scratch the itch.

15 June

Over the weekend, I got my Minion Raven RF build up and running in Path of Exile 2, but talk about how it does not quite scratch the itch. aggronaut.com/2026/06/15/r...

You are better than what AI/LLMs can produce. Don't outsource your humanity and creativity to a model that is simply going to regurgitate whatever it finds in a web search. Even if you fuck things up... your fuck ups are more valuable and interesting than anything an AI/LLM will produce.

oh right a ball of baskets happened... congratz knicks fans

aggronaut.comRaven Staves and Smashy Monkeys - Tales of the AggronautThis morning I talk about almost being able to use the Raven Staff in Path of Exile II and some general league progress stuff.

12 June

Good Morning, Folks! This morning I talked a bit about my current progress in the Path of Exile II league as I near being able to play with the Raven staff. I also talk a bit about big dumb monkey fun with Spiritwalker. aggronaut.com/2026/06/12/r...

aggronaut.comSpirit Crossing is Great - Tales of the AggronautIf Genshin Impact were a cozy combat free game... you would end up with Spirit Crossing, a mobile game now in steam testing.

Now that Spirit Crossing is no longer mobile only, I have been playing quite a bit of the steam playtest. If you dig wholesome/cozy mmos, then i suggest you check this out. aggronaut.com/2026/06/10/s...
