Well along with painting and occasionally playing with miniatures  I do like a good game on the old console or PC. My daughter and I loved playing Ark Survival Evolved. We would go split screen on the PS4. Sadly since the new Ascended the older one has become a little unreliable.

We would get so far and then it would crash meaning our hard work would be lost. It would crash more split screen. Luckily the saveworld ‘command’ helped a bit. But it still put us off playing. I therefore decided to see about renting a server. It was a whole lot cheaper than I thought it would be. About £10.50 a month, we are going to give that a go.

It is rather nice to be able to play with the settings on what I want the game to be like. I bumped xp to 2.5x and taming speed to 3x so it isn’t an instant tame. Next I am off to track down a snowy owl, last two attempts failed as my tranquillisers on the weapon I was using had an 8% chance of death…

I did manage to tame my daughter a high level Argentavis for when she gets on.

I know I am sad, but it stops me running around the house when it is raining outside 🙂
