Ok do you have any favourite games, that are not ran world or hollow knight?

I myself like slavic game series stalker :]

oooh there are so many games from my childhood (and more recent ones) that i'd love to mention

the first one i can remember is rayman. i love the first three games, especially 2 and 3. i have so many great memories connected to these games, and i wish 3d rayman made a comeback. after the mario and rabbids dlc, and the recent netflix show, i'm a little more hopeful about that

zoo tycoon 2 is also one of my favorite childhood games, alongside two other, far more obscure zoo games: marine park empire and wildlife park 2. i've always loved zoo games, i think it started with wlp2, it was sold as a part of a collection of animal related games. a similar one was jurassic park operation genesis - similar premise, except it's based around creating a jurassic park. the newest game in this genre is planet zoo, and i like it, but it can get very overwhelming with all of the modular building. it's time consuming and requires a lot of creativity, which isn't something i usually look for when i want to wind down and play something

another childhood series is the sims. the sims 2 specifically, though i also have many fond memories of the sims 3 (though i remember it more for the absurd loading times hahaha). while i like the sims 4, i find myself returning more to the sims 2 these days. it's very dated in some areas, but it offers a much deeper experience which i appreciate. and the lore can get batshit crazy sometimes which is great in on itself

i remember playing a lot of spore, especially the creature stage since i didn't understand the civilization and space stages at that point. i do enjoy them now, especially the latter, though i've never reached the ending of that one. i guess i just like exploring and trading with different planets too much

from some more modern games, i suppose, minecraft is one i like a lot. i started playing a few years after it's official release, and i remember starting with a pirated copy from a likely very sussy launcher. these days i usually just play it with friends from time to time

another series i'm a big fan of is the horizon series. horizon zero dawn and forbidden west. i know many people consider their gameplay nothing spectacular, but it's a big comfort game for me, especially the sequel. and the music, god the music in the second game is incredible

i mentioned assassin's creed, so i guess i'll talk about the series a bit. my favorite game is probably unity, i even named one of my cats after the protagonist. but i also love assassin's creed 2 and origins, both are great games. not too happy with the direction the series took, though, they feel too bloated and unfocused

i don't play that many multiplayer games these days, but team fortress 2 and (unfortunately) overwatch are my favorites. i like team games, even if they're often very frustrating. but the cooperation aspect generally really appeals to me

other games i can think of are patapon, subnautica, the yakuza series, both ori games, bugsnax and stardew valley

dang this is far longer than i thought it would be, but it's too difficult for me to pick one or two favorites hahah

also, i've heard about the stalker games before, though i've never played them myself. not too big on horror games haha

*gif is not mine.

“So how is this gonna go?” you asked Bucky in the car, on the way to his parent’s house, breaking the awkward silence that lingered.

“We just have to, yanno, convince my parents we’re a couple,” he replied, not taking his eyes off the road. You watched as his hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter.

“Hold hands, giggle at each other’s jokes, give flirty eyes, stuff like that?”

It was your turn to grip the handle of your bag tightly, causing indents from the material to appear on your hands.

“I mean, yeah. In order for my mom to get off my back, we have to be somewhat convincing…”

You swallowed hard, hoping Bucky didn’t see your discomfort.

“Do we have to kiss?” you blurted out. Bucky shifted in his seat.

“No, I mean… not if you don’t want to.”

You somehow managed to chuckle at his discomfort, even though your heart was absolutely racing at the thought of kissing those perfect, pouty lips.

“Well, it’d be mighty convincing, no? Maybe that should be saved for desperate measures.”

You reached over and patted his shoulder, and you felt him relax. He finally took his eyes off the road to look at you, for a brief second.

“Thank you for doing this for me, seriously. I’d be lost without you.”

“Like I said, Barnes. You owe me, big time.”

The rest of the ride to the Barnes residence was filled with laughter and impromptu karaoke. Your heart swelled watching Bucky try to remember the words to your favorite Rihanna song, recording it on your phone as“blackmail”.

When you finally pulled up the drive to their house, your throat became dry. It was a beautiful three story colonial home. Everything was in perfect condition, including the lawn. It was pristine, and you immediately felt out of place. Bucky shut off the car and looked to you.

“Are you sure about this, Y/N? If this makes you uncomfortable, we can go home right now. Just tell me, and I’ll take us home.”

Us. The word rang through your brain like a boomerang. You knew he didn’t mean it in the way you wanted to, but you couldn’t help but to get your hopes up. You wiped your sweaty palms on your jeans, knowing your hand would be wrapped in Bucky’s soon enough. Inhaling deeply, you let your breath out loudly.

“I’m good, I promise. If it becomes too much, I’ll let you know. Let’s do this.”

The smile that spread across his handsome face was reward enough, as he got out of the car and made his way around to the passenger side. Bucky opened your door and grabbed your bag, slinging it over his shoulder. He extended his hand to you and you took it, climbing out of the car. Except he didn’t let go of your hand, and a chill shivered its way throughout your entire body. He leaned down to whisper in your ear, only intensifying your goosebumps.

“I know my mom is already watching from the living room window. If she saw me not open the door for you or carry your bag, she’d murder me in my sleep.”

“Good to know that chivalry isn’t dead,” you smiled up at him. “You’re a real gentleman, Barnes.”

It was his turn to take a deep breath, as he looked at his childhood home, your hands still linked together.

“Alright,” he finally said. “Let’s do this.”

With one final squeeze to your hand, you followed behind Bucky up the driveway. His mother already had the door open, her body practically vibrating as she awaited her son to finally reach her. Her arms were outstretched to hug him, and Bucky finally let go of your hand to embrace her. With his hand gone, yours felt lonely, so you stuffed them both into the pockets of your jeans.

As you watched them embrace each other, you could see how much he looked like his mother. She was stunning, and they shared a lot of the same features in the face. Her smile was perfect and wide, just like Bucky’s, and her eyes were as blue as the ocean, as they finally darted away from her son, to you.

“It’s great to see you, Mom,” Bucky said, rubbing her shoulder. He looked back at you, as you balanced on the balls of your feet, waiting to be introduced.

“It’s always great to see you, my dear,” she replied, her eyes twinkling. “And who is this?”

Your head snapped up, and you looked from Bucky to his mother quickly.

“Where are my manners?” Bucky said, taking your hand again and pulling you forward. “Mom, this is Y/N. My girlfriend.”

The word echoed in your brain, just like before. Even though you knew this was all a scam, it felt so real.

“Hi, Mrs. Barnes,” you said quickly, outstretching your hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Your home is beautiful. I am completely envious of your flowers. I can’t even grow a weed.”

The sound of her laughter was like music in the air. Bucky was practically beaming next to you, so much so you could almost feel the heat radiating off of him. He squeezed your hand.

“Thank you so much, dear. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Bucky has told me so much about you.”

You glanced at Bucky quickly, trying not to make it obvious. What had he told her? Did he tell her the truth about you? This was something you’d have to discuss later. Any wrong piece of information you spewed, could ruin the whole plan.

“He’s told me so much about you too,” you replied, which he had. Bucky spent a whole day before you left, just telling you about his family. “You raised a great son, Mrs. Barnes.”

“Please,” she said, clutching her chest. “Call me, Winnie.”

“Yes, ma’am,” you smiled, sincerely liking Bucky’s mom.

“Please, come inside and meet George. I’ll show you where you and Bucky’s room will be,” she gestured with her hand for you to come inside. “Come, come.”

Suddenly, Bucky pulled you close, under the watchful eye of his mother. You made an odd sound, as the air whooshed out of your lungs. His hand was around your waist, his crystal blue eyes staring into your soul. Leaning down, he kissed you on the lips, sending fire throughout your veins. Your body became lax, your brain making noises like a VHS tape on rewind. As soon as his lips were on yours, they were pulled away, leaving you in a haze.

“Ohhhhh,” Winne crooned. “Young love is so sweet!”

Out of your peripheral vision, you could see his mother clap her hands together in delight, but your eyes were only on Bucky’s, as he continued to stare into yours.

As you followed Bucky into the Barnes house, you couldn’t help but think of the one question that wouldn’t stop nagging at you: Did he feel that too?

8 Recommendations: Insights and Trends in Ancestral Health Documentaries

Most people learn about ancestral health through books and blogs, which makes sense—Primal folks tend to be big readers, and the complexity and depth and constant evolution of the knowledge almost requires the written word for proper transmission. But a well-produced, beautiful film with great content has a unique effect on viewers. The combination of video and audio are more convincing than prose to our lizard brains, making documentaries a great vehicle for the introduction of a radically new idea. Skilled creators in the paleo space have taken note, producing some excellent ancestral health documentaries.

Doesn’t hurt that we’re right, of course.

And though “ancestral health documentary” is definitely a sub-genre that’s on the smaller side, trends are emerging. Earlier documentaries were celebrations and explorations of (and introductions to) the relatively young lifestyle, intended for individuals hoping to gain control of their own health. Future documentaries are looking at the bigger picture—how ancestral health can help the entire world and the natural environment get healthier. In today’s post, I’ll go through some of the standouts, explain what they offer, look to some upcoming movies, and track the trends.

Fathead

Pigeonholed by critics as a satirical response to Supersize Me, Fathead begins by disproving the other film’s tendency to infantilize the public and lay the entirety of the blame for the obesity epidemic at the feet of fast food conglomerates. But the real meat of Fathead lies in the second half, when director Tom Naughton skewers the Lipid Hypothesis and low-fat orthodoxy, drawing on interviews with experts like Dr. Mike Eades and running a personal experiment where he loses weight eating nothing but fast food.

Even though it’s not a “paleo” or Primal documentary, it’s a great entry point for beginners to the whole low-carb/high-fat way of eating, especially those skeptical of the scientific underpinnings.

Perfect Human Diet

This was the first explicitly paleo film, and it was groundbreaking. Director CJ Hunt lays out the rationale for the paleo diet, going from archaeological digs to human genome labs to Dr. Loren Cordain using a football field to give one of the better paleo analogies I’ve heard on a football field.

Perfect Human Diet is still the best introduction of these concepts I’ve seen on the big screen.

Cereal Killers

Tim Noakes, the South African professor under constant fire for his heretical views on health and nutrition, guides Donal O’Neill through a month-long low-carb, high-fat, wheat-free, sugar-free, whole foods-based diet to prevent the diabetes and heart disease his genetic history had seemingly ordained for him. I don’t want to give the end away, but the diet doesn’t kill him, doesn’t give him heart disease or diabetes and, in fact, makes him healthier and more resistant to both.

And man, how about that title? “Cereal Killers” is perfect.

The Big Fat Fix

Donal O’Neill’s followup to Cereal Killers enlists the help of Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the British cardiologist who made waves several years ago when he came out against refined carbs and vegetable oils. The two travel to Pioppi, Italy—where Ancel Keys discovered a long-lived, healthy population and created the modern notion of the Mediterranean diet to explain it—and find the good doctor may have misinterpreted or overlooked some factors. It’s much higher in fat, for one. Two, there’s way more to the Mediterranean lifestyle than diet.

In The Big Fat Fix, Malhotra and O’Neill dig deeper than Keys, uncovering and exploring all the hidden secrets of the Mediterranean lifestyle, like community, stress, sleep, sun, movement, and, yes, diet.

We Love Paleo

Millions of people love paleo. To people who follow the lifestyle, the reasons why are obvious. There are many millions more who either haven’t heard of paleo or have some bastardized version of it involving loincloths and luddism in mind. Those are the people who need to hear from people (like me) who love paleo why paleo is so lovable. We Love Paleo (Amazon Prime link, free for members) is precisely that, offering a host of practitioners, chefs, trainers, and other experts explaining why they’re paleo, what it did for them, and what it could do for you.

In the coming months and years, more excellent documentaries will likely come down the pike. I know of at least three upcoming films I’m looking forward to…. 

Perfect Human Diet 2: Dispelling the Lies

Just about every month, it seems like your vegan friend sends you the trailer to some new screed railing against the evils of meat, saturated fat, and animal agriculture. They’ve got the wind at their backs. They’re winning. Most people take their claims as common sense. “Oh, of course meat’s bad for the environment. Doesn’t a cow fart a ton of methane every day and require 100 pounds of grain to produce a pound of meat or something like that?” They won’t win, though. Not if ancestral documentary pioneer CJ Hunt and his upcoming documentary have anything to say about it.

If you want to help nudge Dispelling the Lies past its funding goal and enjoy the trailer, go here.

We Love Paleo 2

Even more people love paleo this time around, including me. I make a longer appearance in this one. But that’s not the only reason the movie is being made.

Instead of just telling everyone why paleo will make you healthier, happier, and more productive, WLP2 also explains why animal agriculture doesn’t have to destroy the environment and is probably quite crucial for its continued existence.

Kale vs. Cow: The Case for Better Meat

Diana Rodgers is a dietician, organic farmer, and now filmmaker whose upcoming Kale vs. Cow: The Case for Better Meat will represent a huge salvo against the misguided and frankly wrong idea that animal agriculture cannot coexist with a healthy environment. Not only is environmentally-friendly animal agriculture possible to achieve, this movie will argue that we can’t have a healthy environment at all without animals—especially the most vilified ones of all, cattle—in our food system. They’re actually necessary. You just have to do it right.

If you can, watch the trailer and donate a few bucks to help them reach their funding goal.

Are you noticing a trend?

Earlier documentaries were personal and prescriptive, offering a set of dietary guidelines that upended what many people thought was the right way to eat, train, and live. And it worked—paleo has captured the hearts, minds, mouths, and digestive tracts of millions. But many remain resistant, either swayed by the authoritative power of conventional wisdom about the health and environmental effects of animal foods, or unwilling to give that weird fad diet a try. The opposition isn’t letting up, either, releasing cinematic diatribe after cinematic diatribe that only buttress the conventional stance.

These upcoming documentaries are taking the fight to the opposition. They’re facing down the big challenges, the major criticisms and claims that, if taken to their logical conclusion, threaten our access to healthy animal foods. Nothing is more important than that.

Did I miss any? What are your favorite paleo/Primal/ancestral-friendly documentaries?

Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care and be well!
