    With life settling down, and my other gaming quieting a bit, we decided over the weekend to revisit Ark: Survival Evolved. We run a home server, so it is a customized and private world, mainly because we dont want to deal with the annoyances of public players. It has been over a year since the…

    As our interest fades on Ark: Survival, we have converted over to the newly released Conan Exiles.  Still a survival game, but a much different world.  Gone are the dinosaurs, and now there are various tribes that fight against your growth to eventually conquering the world.  The interesting challenge is the subject matter, in comparison…

    A popular game with my family has been Ark: Survival Evolved, a multi-player dinosaur themed survival game that we have played since well before its official release.  Over the last couple of years, we have switched back and forth between a few different server options, sometimes trying to host the custom server ourselves, and sometimes…

In parallel…

    So apparently the provider from which I subscribe and rent a pair of Ark private servers “lost” my account information and my active server instance.  The good news (what there is) is that only one of the two servers was impacted, but unfortunately it was our primary gaming world – in which we had spent…

    Although it had faded from popularity over the last couple of years, apparently Minecraft is making somewhat of a comeback, at least with my kids and their friends.  As such, I was asked yesterday to reconfigure and restart a Minecraft server so that my oldest and a couple of friends could play around and enjoy…
