I love dinosaurs. Growing up, I had collected tons of dinosaur-themed items. So when I started playing Ark: Survival Evolved it felt like I was reliving part of my childhood!

DINOSAURS. DINOSAURS EVERYWHERE!

Needless to say, I kind of got a little obsessed. OK. Fine. I got A LOT obsessed.

I started collecting tons of dinosaurs. I started with Parasaurs, then moved onto Raptors, then T-Rexes and now. Spinosauruses. Our base currently has over 20 Spinosauruses.

I’ve named the ones I’ve tamed after K-pop stars because why not?

When I found out that Ark had a cooking system, I was so hyped! Obviously, I had to start making these recipes in real life. So here’s an easy Ark-inspired recipe to enjoy while you’re combing the beach slapping your “e” key for rocks!

GG WP!

I tried to make it as close as the in-game recipe as possible:

Close… I think?

Either way, Calien Soup will keep you cool as you doodle in your dossier:

According to my dossier, I should probably collect more spinos. Hmm.

Stay safe out there, survivors!
