With Great Power, Comes Great... Need?
ALLLLL the Things
Having just built my first desktop (with plenty of help from fellow CRR member, Prometheus), I find myself buying many new games. In the days since I first booted up my aptly named Tower-of-Power, I've purchased five games and my gpu came with one.
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands (GPU)
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown
- Tom Clancy's The Division
- Grand Theft Auto V
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
- Final Fantasy XIV
XCOM and The Division arrived, but I've yet to break the cellophane on either of them. I've downloaded and installed Ghost Recon: Wildlands, GTA V, Skyrim and FFXIV. I've played very little of Skyrim (same game, better graphics/less bugs, maybe), FFXIV and GTA V. I haven't played XCOM or GR:W at all yet. All of them look great though, really great.
Tower-of-Power... Really?
Oh yeah, she's a beast. I was thinking of Janet, but it didn't seem strong enough of a name.
- AsRock z270 Killer MoBo
- Intel i7-7700k 7th generation quad core
- GEFORCE GTX 1080 8GB VRAM
- 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum LED RAM
- Corsair RMx series 750W PSU
- Samsung 960 Pro 2TB M.2 PCIe
- Seagate 4TB HDD
- COOLER MASTER 120mm CPU cooling unit
- Phanteks Eclipse P400 satin black with 10 color RGB and side window
- ASUS RoG 34 inch curved IPS monitor
- Logitech G910 Orion Spark RGB keyboard
- Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB mouse
- 2 Asiahorse 120mm LED fans (blue and red)
- 2 RGB light strips
- 1 Asiahorse Firework 120mm LED Fan (green)
Like I said, she's potent! Prometheus had me run some benchmark programs last night. Everything ran at or above the 97th Percentile. Which is excellent.
So, if you have any suggestions of games I need to play, leave a comment! I've had a guy from the Dododex Discord bugging me to stream, so maybe I'll look at it... Not super likely though.
For Your Viewing Pleasure
That's the story behind my new Desktop! Thanks for reading, listening and oh! Have a flower! 🌸

CRR Foe-Esme Ark Sanctuary & Builders Paradise Server Info
The CRR Ark Survival Evolved Foe and Esme Island
Dear CRR Ark members,
This server is meant to once again offer our CRR Gaming Group members and those who wish to play with us, a sanctuary Ark server to call home! We have chosen the Island to be our sanctuary server and we will have an additional server available for builders but on a map that is less static. This map will remain the island and our additional map can change whenever the player base craves something new :) We have tried seasonal servers the past 6 months and have found that once a date is looming over our heads people stop logging in. So for now the Island will remain Static. Solid. Not changing or wiping (unless an Act of Mod Gods or Ark God's occur beyond our control as they can) and the additional Map will remain static until the player base craves something new and exciting :) ( Please note: Our original intent was to cluster the two servers together to allow us to travel back and forth, but that has proven to be a very wonky situation that created more of a headache than convenience.)
Esme
The Island: CRR Sanctuary Builders Paradise Server
The server IP is:85.190.157.24:28000
(you may have to add a 1 to it to get it to take for some reason.)
The server is called:CRRGaming.blogspot.com A Mythical Builders Paradise! 15x steam connect button, but in fact it is loading Ark, the server and mods behind the scene and will then appear, so you will need to be
Why do we need a sanctuary server?
- We wanted to offer a place for our CRR Ark members to build a home to call their own with some of the most amazing building mods available for us at this moment.
- We wanted to offer a static home in Ark for players who like to build more than tame, but also don’t want to worry about the server admin getting a bug up their but to wipe the server and wipe all of your progress.
- We know that not everyone loves change so a static server that will change very little is something that appeals to that play style.
- We know that not everyone has the time to play Ark as much as others and tends to play a more single player game with the opportunity to join in on community events if given the time.
- Its nice to have a place to call home that isn't loaded with bloodthirsty beasts at every turn.
Why did we choose the Island Map?
- The island map will be our CRR Sanctuary Server that will remain static.
- The Island map is updated the most and first by Wild Card atm and all new content that comes to ark hits the island first.
- All of the holidays are supported on the island.
- All new dinos added to the game are always added to the Island first.
- Not everyone has or wants to purchase expansions for Ark so we wanted to be able to offer a place for our members to still play and build a fortress of their dreams with CRR members instead of being forced to find a new Ark Home.
- The Island is a great place for new players to come and play Ark for the first time and it holds a special place in Veteran Ark Players hearts.
Additional Server Settings
- This is a 15x server.
- PVE with friendly fire.
- Gigas are turned on.
- CRR Members can join the CRR Tribe upon arrival to the server. Just contact Esme and tell her who you are.

What Creature Mods are on the Island?
Mythical Creatures
DINO Nests 3
Continuation of Dino Nests 2, this mod adds dino nests in the game. The eggs in the nests incubate twice slower and lose durability at 1/4 of the rate normal eggs do. If no player gets close to the nest when the incubation has 25% left or less, the incubation stops completely. Getting close to the nest or picking up the egg will reset these rates to normal. Auto Destroys in about 3 minutes if nobody gets close enough.
By default all nests have equal chance to spawn and these rates can be controlled via INI settings. The nests spawn next to dino's that could lay their eggs (you can also enable spawner based nests via INI settings).
