Ixion Archives - Tales of the Aggronaut

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

Hey Folks! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there in the AggroChat family, and also solace to those who have lost theirs along the way. Tonight we start off the show with Bel and Grace complaining about the results of Eurovision and how both Finland and Austria “got robbed”. From there Bel talks about playing some Diablo IV this weekend and how there have been some minor improvements from the last open beta test. Kodra dives into some spicy takes about Breath of the Wild and how maybe he just isn’t into that game at all, and how it makes him sad about approaching Tears of the Kingdom. Grace gives an update on Burning Shores’ discussion and how she accidentally played it on the hardest mode. Tam talks about Ixion some more and how it is weird to have boss fights in a city builder. Kodra talks about some of his recent experiences with This Means Warp and trying out multiplayer. Finally, we dive into a discussion spurred on by the fact that Thalen has been playing Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster on the Switch.

Complaining about Eurovision
Diablo 4 Slightly Improved

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

We start the show with some discussion about Path of Exile launching the new Crucible league… and how the seasonal mechanic is sort of awful but the gameplay state is great. Grace talks about a game hand designed for them called Dredge. Tam talks a bit about another city builder of a sort called Ixion that causes some rough choices. We talk a bit about the Super Mario Bros movie and how it is way better than we expected. Because Nintendo makes screwed-up decisions we talk about hacking the 3DS to use an unofficial storefront. Ash talks about some disappointment about the first drop in the Battle Network Legacy Collection. Kodra talks a bit about the series finale for Owl House and playing Burgle Bros board game. Finally, Bel talks a bit about some of the books he has been reading.
