AggroChat #453 – Keeping Up With The Cardassians

October 15, 2023 by Belghast

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

Hey Folks! This week we start off the show with some discussion about the most recent Honkai Star Rail patch and how it does a Pokemans. From there we dive into the Stellaris offshoot Star Trek Infinite and how it is more than just a reskin. This leads to a long winding conversation about how games feel wildly different once you tweak a few variables. All of that takes a brief detour into how frustrating it is that the Sea of Thieves PVE mode has some limitations. Bel goes into a bit of a rant about how all live service releases are awful until they have a year or two under their belt and how “the vision” show be burned to a crisp. We talked a bit about the Microsoft Deal for ActiBlizz finally closing and the possibility of World of Warcraft for Gamepass. Finally, we get moored in a discussion of Path of Exile as we always seem to lately and talk a bit about Kodra clearing his first two voidstones.

Honkai Star Rail does a Pokemans

Hey Folks! We are down a Grace and a Thalen this weekend so we floundered a bit on the topics we were going to talk about.

From there Bel talks a bit about a new Switch device that he picked up called the CRKD Nitro Deck that makes the Switch a bit beefer and feel like a Steam Deck. Tam has been diving back into Cyberpunk 2077 with the release of the 2.0 update and Phantom Libery expansion. Finally, we wind around to Path of Exile that Ash, Kodra, and Bel are still deeply engaged with this league. We talk a bit more about the birth of the “Bel League” private league concept.
