Hooked. I got hooked.
I mean I was already hooked years ago the first time so there was a reasonable chance I'd get re-hooked but maybe you think you're smarter now. Nope, won't get fooled again. I even knew what I was getting myself into, it's not like any of it was a surprise. It's been around for a while now, there's videos and everything. But you know... I mean can you really understand something unless you do it yourself?
Oh. Yeah, I'll explain.
So there's this game that can hook people. Stardew is one of those but that's not it this time. Instead it's Ark. I've mentioned my weakness for Ark in the past, that I return to it like that ex you just can't seem to quit, but this time they've been spending time at the gym. Ark Survival Ascended is the old Ark redone in a new game engine to look all pretty and stuff while it transforms your formerly cool running computer into an incendiary device. It's been out for like 10 months now and went on a decent sale so I figured what the heck, I'll buy it.
Played it a bunch. 23.5 hours since Friday, heh oops.
But.
Those bastards.
They put baby dinos and kangaroos and jerboas in the game and if the parent gets killed by the munchabunch dinos and the bebe somehow survives then...
You can claim them and raise them, even if it's an ugly and useless morellatops (fake camelsaurus). But I can't just let those raptors nearby eat the babymorellatopseses. And I'm riding my kangaroo (super awesome) which will get it's butt kicked if I fight the raptors. But I can sneak close and imprint the babies and then go home with them.
What? No, you can't carry them and neither can the kangaroo, that would be too easy. I have to escort them home. Walking verrry sloooowww baby animals over the map, keeping them safe by avoidance or combat if needed. Just a little nerve-wracking. But now I have too many dinos, waayyy more than I ever had in the old game and some I've never had, like the kangaroo (yay!) and even the just awful thieving universally-hated rat dino pegomastax.
Because I got it as an orphan baby. I couldn't just leave it there.
This stupid idiot game hit me in the feels and now I gotta save the babies.
Dammit.
Totally not me at all:

It sounds like a good game though
