Dinosaur Paleontology
I like dinosaurs
Are we all playing ARK?
I have ARK downloaded but I haven’t played it
if you need a time sink then it’s a great game! 
Yea its similar to minecraft in a way, right?
No clue, never touched or played minecraft.
But you need to build/upgrade your base, farm/craft your stuff, tame dinos, ride/fly them, breed dinos, hatch eggs, be aware of the environment, drink/eat, wear proper cloths/armour against the wheater, dive into the oceans, catch/tame fish/octopus/shark/etc.
Join a tribe(clan/guild) do bosses/boss raids, unlock even more stuff to build, etc, etc…
best part is…Survive!
Ah, seems pretty similar. I’m not very good at survival games 
Ark was fun, lol. I had it on PS4 then got it on PC. It’s server based settings allows you to set up specific things in the game, like Attack/damage, Trurst/hunger levels, hatching speeds, and even Poop frequency, lol.
So in short you can either make yourself invincible all the way down to pooping your brains out ever 2 seconds, lmao.
It’s pretty fun (not the poop part, just all round game play).
