AggroChat #572 – Time is Weird

June 14, 2026 by Belghast

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

This week, we record one of our shortest shows because, quite honestly, we did not have a ton to talk about. That said, I feel like there were a lot of fun discussions. We start off talking about Forza Horizon 6, as Tam has discovered how fun this series is. After that, we talk a bit about Voidling Bound, a game that a lot of us were not following but are now interested in. Ace discusses Fields of Mistria and talks about how it is very adjacent to Stardew Valley. We also briefly talk about how good Spirit Crossing is. There is this weird new feature in Path of Exile II where a player can sacrifice themselves to give every other player a bonus passive point, and we talk a bit about this design space. Bel talks a bit about Raven RF, and how it does not quite work well, but is completely viable. We have a few quick topics, one of which is how good Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope has been.

Topics Discussed:

Forza Horizon 6
Voidling Bound
Fields of Mistria
Path of Exile II Player Sacrifice
Raven Righteous Fire
Pokémon Horizons: Rising Hope

AggroChat #571 – Sad Cat Game

June 7, 2026 by Belghast

Hey Folks. We start off this week with a discussion about Life Below, which is an underwater building sim focused on coral reefs and maintaining them. From there, we talk a bit about another one of our patented 11 sads out of 10 games, where you try to keep the last cat in the universe alive. Spirit Crossing has launched on Steam and we are all pretty happy to see it being untethered from mobile-only. We talk about all of the things that we saw at the Summer Games Fest, which are too many individual games to list. We do focus in on one particular game announcement, however, which is Guild Wars 3, and we talk a bit about what we know so far, and more particularly, the fact that the studio released a video committing to keep developing all three games. Kodra and Bel go deep down the rabbit hole of Path of Exile II build craft, and kind of forget that they are on a podcast for a bit. Lastly, we wrap things up with some quick topics.

Topics Discussed:

Life Below
The Last Cat in the Universe
Spirit Crossing
Summer Games Fest 2026
Guild Wars 3
Path of Exile II Nonsense
Quick Topics

AggroChat #570 – Hollowing Season

May 31, 2026 by Belghast

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

Hey Folks! We had quite the list of topics this time around. We start off with a bit of a postmortem on Zero Parades and how that game really stuck the landing. From there, Bel talks a bit about the upcoming final patch for Destiny and how it might have saved the game. Tam discusses his feelings so far about 007 First Light and how its Hitman DNA shows through while being a unique game and not a DLC. Many games were released this week, and we talked about some of them before diving into Mina the Hollower. We talk a bit about Esoteric Ebb, which is another game that shares some lineage with Zero Parades and Disco Elysium. Finally, we talk a bit about our league starts for Path of Exile II, and how the early game is a real slog. Kodra is having a much better time than Bel is, but they are both progressing towards the endgame.

Topics Discussed:

Zero Parades Nails It
Last Gasp of Destiny
007 First Light
Many Games Released
Mina the Hollower
Esoteric Ebb
Path of Exile II – Return of the Ancients

AggroChat #569 – Eggplant Cousins

May 24, 2026 by Belghast

Hey Folks! We had a stacked show last night and had a bit of a rolling start as Thalen joined in a little late. We start off with Tam talking about re-exploring Xenogears, and then Ace finding their groove in Dead as Disco. Tam has a kid who is rapidly becoming a Pokémon fiend and, as a result, has been exploring the latest entry, Pokémon Violet. Ace convinced Bel to ignore his fear of deep water and play some Subnautica 2 Multiplayer. Bel and Kodra discuss their plans for the upcoming Path of Exile II League Start this next Friday, and Tam discusses his enjoyment of Zero Parades. Finally, we have some pen and paper talk about Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition and Public Access Kickstarter Edition. Lastly, a few rapid-fire topics as we join the Landsraad in Dune Awakening and Destiny 2 enters maintenance mode.
