Morning Folks! This is one of those blog posts that sort of became one thing without meaning to. I talked a bit about #GuildWars2 and the announcement of "Expansion Five" that is coming at some point today.

Afternoon Folks. I have no clue why I have been struggling to get a blog post out in the mornings lately.

Anyway... last night I managed to snag a Siege of Orgrimmar and Throne of Thunder group and am the proud owner of a shiny necklace slot. I also talk a bit about how grouping has gone in general and how I would love for this recent foray into building groups to extend into other games.

It took me forever to cobble together a blog post today... but I finally finished it. There have been a lot of think pieces posted lately about #PathOfExile #Necropolis league and whether or not it was "bad". I dive into some of my thoughts about the subject and end up writing my own rather lengthy think piece... further adding to the problem.

Morning Folks! Last night I waded into the scary world of the Group Finder tool in #WorldOfWarcraft #PandariaRemix and found it to be a mixed bag. The first three normal raids were super smooth and I knocked them out in rapid succession. Then I spent the next hour failing to get into either a Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar raid.

Morning Folks! Yesterday I tried the whole "get to 25 and then just do raids" thing for alt leveling in #WorldOfWarcraft #PandariaRemix and it is very much "not my jam". My appetite for chain-running raids does not appear to be what it used to be. This also feels like a strategy for maximizing bronze gain and not necessarily levels.

Morning Folks! Last night I hit level 45 in #WorldOfWarcraft #PandariaRemix and started on my third zone. I spent some time this morning talking about the scope of Pandaria and how it is contrasted against the feel of the last few expansions.

I also spent some time talking about the Narcissus addon which is making the whole constant gem swapping a bit easier.

Morning Folks! Last night I got my first of the unique items from #WorldOfWarcraft #PandariaRemix and also spent a bit of time talking about my general thoughts from the event so far.

Honestly, it feels like a refreshing take on the game with the best mechanical state of classes combined with a more classical feeling expansion.

Morning Folks! As of this morning, I am 93 in #Diablo4 Season 4 and could have probably pushed to 100 long ago but am largely taking it easy.

This morning I talk through some of the few remaining loot frustrations, in this universally better season.

Morning Folks! Yesterday I transitioned over into World Tier III in #Diablo4 Season 4, and am starting to feel confident at an attempt to complete the World Tier IV dungeon.

Also noticed that Blizzard has both a free trial available on Battle.net and has the game on sale for $35. It is also part of Gamepass now for those folks. They seem to really want folks back.

Morning Folks! It took almost a year of tweaks, updates, and outright system reworks... but I feel like #Diablo4 is now in a really good place with a very fun core mechanical loop.

Yesterday Season 4 launched and this morning I talked a bit about my experiences so far.

Yeah so... I am getting scatterbrained lately. I just realized that I did not actually share my morning post.

Basically this morning I talked about wrapping up the final Challenge in #PathOfExile that I planned on going for... my hunt for the Cat Chair in #GW2 that I literally just posted a picture of getting... and my thoughts about the #Diablo4 season start.

Good Morning Folks!

A few leagues back I attempted to create a Shield Crush build on the Chieftain that converted everything to fire damage. Then last league with the advent of transfigured gems... they gave us Shield Crush of the Chieftain that is doing specifically that thing.

This weekend I started leveling yet another Marauder to see if this version works any better than my previous attempt did.

Morning Folks! I realized this morning that I had not really talked about my "map blaster" of choice for the #PathOfExile Necropolis League. I've made versions of this character several times now but this time around I am utilizing the brand new Elemental Hit of the Spectrum gem with the tanky goodness of a Champion.

Good Morning Folks! Last night I knocked out the Masterful Monsters challenge in #PathOfExile and spent some time this morning talking about focusing on Mapping and Heist to knock out a few more.

I also talk a bit about Maxroll throwing their hat into the Bulk Trading website game and the ramifications of that.

I was not entirely certain I would actually get around to blogging today. Eventually, I discovered the oomph to make something happen. Between yesterday morning and this blog post, I have knocked out three more challenges in #PathOfExile Necropolis League and am nearing a few more.

I talk a bit more about the ones that I feel are realistic for me to complete this league.

Morning Folks! This morning I explore the boost in player numbers and sales that the #Fallout series is experiencing as a result of the popularity of the Amazon Series.

I also talk a bit more about my own return to #Fallout76

This week I have been back screwing around with #Fallout76 and it has changed substantially since the last time I spent much time playing it. I talk about some of the various things that I have learned and some of the interesting cultural norms.

Morning Folks! This morning I talk about finishing up the #Fallout series and how it has driven me back into the hands of the franchise playing some #Fallout3 and even diving back into #Fallout76 a bit last night.

The bug seems to be contagious.

I now understand why Hasbro is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. I've seen the bullshit they have been doing to MTG with jacking up prices, but had not paid attention to toys.

Morning Folks! Not a massive post today but I talk a bit more about my league progress in #PathOfExile and doing a big craft to clear out all of my old corpses in Necropolis mechanic that wound up with a reasonable item now that I can choose my crafting base.
