I enjoy the concept of games where you are given a world with certain rules and mechanics and within that world you are free to explore, build and shape your own fun.
I was introduced to Minecraft by my stepkids, who begged me to install the then-Pocket Edition of the game on the devices they were allowed to play with. This also meant it got installed on my phone, and it was all over from there.
Rust was a game I got into with a group of friends. Much like Minecraft I enjoyed the building possibilities of the game more than the combat, and also just enjoyed the idea of being trapped on a post-apocalyptic island and trying to eke out your survival with the tools you are given.
I got into game hosting because I enjoy making worlds for other people to play in/explore. More importantly I enjoy creating worlds for people to express themselves more or less away from the rampant toxicity that so often mars online gaming with others. I maintain a mostly creative, kid-safe open game for Minecraft because I have friends with kids that play. As for Rust, the server still has yet to find an audience, but the goal is to build a friendly, laid-back group of players that enjoy exploring the islands while murdering each other “like civilized people,” which is a markedly different game tone from the majority of the game’s servers.
I hope you enjoy visiting my worlds. Feel free to stay awhile.
