    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…

    By this point, the new expansion for Ark: Survival Evolved will be released, and hopefully our custom server will be running the new Extinction content.  The wife is rather eager for the new material – she has plans of taming and crafting the new materials in the fresh land to explore.  Personally, I am fairly…

    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…

    Similar to my Nextcloud difficulties, I have also been having difficulties with our custom private Ark servers since the release of Aberration. The original servers with The Island and Scorched Earth are still working fine, but I wanted to add an Aberration server as well.

    I was attempting to configure a custom Ark server for my son, who is eager to try some of the numerous Admin codes, but unfortunately it was overloading my minimal webserver, and preventing WordPress from responding.  As a result, you may have noticed a lot of lag over the last couple of days, or pages…

    My kids recently have taken an interested in online gaming streaming, specifically around our efforts with Ark: Survival Evolved.  After a bit of discussion, they have encouraged me to try my hand at that sort of effort and content again myself.  I had previously made some short-lived efforts which lived on Twitch, but never really…

    So I wasn’t nearly as productive as I had hoped over the last few days, between planning on painting figures for Zombicide: Black Plague, and various other goals.  We ended up getting distracted by Ark: Survival, as started to raise dragons (wyverns) on the Ragnarok world, on our private server.  Apparently, I am the only…
