iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

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

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

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

Belghast @belghast.com · 26/06/2026

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

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...

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

Belghast @belghast.com · 22/06/2026

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

Belghast @belghast.com · 22/06/2026

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...

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.

Belghast @belghast.com · 21/06/2026

Yeah, they effectively have nothing to do with the actual series, or at least I view them best when I treat them as their own thing It's like if the backrooms tried to remember what Resident Evil was

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

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...

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.

Belghast @belghast.com · 17/06/2026

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

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

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

Belghast @belghast.com · 17/06/2026

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.

god it is tempting to roll back up as a dwarf cleric as I played for years

I think you are describing every country right now. Too much money in politics, and too many officials bought and sold by big business.

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

what scares me is if I had not answered the door... they would have busted it down I only answered it because from the city had been roaming around and rang the doorbell a few times

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

Yeah, I plan on seeing it really soon.

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

she claimed I had terminal cancer and was afraid I had died or something? when in truth I am just too exhausted due to the chemo to do much of anything extra

110

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

yeah... well meaning nurse freaked a little bit when she could not get ahold of me, but like the first call was while I was getting chemo and each additional call was when i was taking a nap

120

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

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

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

good luck with that, sounds mildly terrifying

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

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.

0140

Belghast @belghast.com · 16/06/2026

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.

Josie the cat getting loved on with head scratches

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.

yeah at minimum you have to remove all the buttons, I would probably lean harder into little bespoke patches

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?
