Games

Recently completed Factorio: Space Age with my weekend gaming group . This is a group who have been playing games together for many years, and we tend to rotate through various games.

While on Nauvis, two of our group kept biters in check, while one worked on the main factory parts and I often worked on resources. Once we were ready to expand to space, we each took a planet to be in charge of. I was in charge of Vulcanus which we tried to setup reasonably quickly, due to a few achievements we were also trying to go for this run.

For quite a while, nearly every Saturday, I have a core group that plays games together. Two of the core games that brought us together are Natural Selection (2002) and Guild Wars (2005) though our regular weekend gaming didn’t start till sometime later after that. I am uncertain when we started doing regular gaming together since we previously used IRC for collaboration, but our shared calendar’s oldest entry is 2018-11-25.

One of the challenges of the group, is our distributed timezones with one in the United States, one in Canada, one in the United Kingdom, and one in Japan. Our current game time is pinned to one member’s daughter’s bed time. This mostly works due to our UK member being fine with an all nighter.
