And a thing that is different about ARK from other survival games is when you are logged out, your character "falls asleep" wherever you logged out and you can be looted/dragged/killed/whatever while you are unconscious.
It makes having a safe place to log out really important.
So, apparently, I got raided while I was logged out. Some dudes raided my base, killed me, killed my Argentavis (giant bird mount), smashed my bed (which acts as my respawn point), and in general caused havoc.
However, there's also an offline log feature that logs this kind of thing, so it logged the name and tribe of the dudes who killed me and my bird.
So I'm like, oh you sons of bitches, I want revenge.
Now, I don't actually have a real tribe. My tribe is just myself (so I can use the tribe functionality), but I have allies among the other tribes that reside in the north, some of whom are also one-man hermits or small, two or three man crews that call the northern glacier their home. We're a loose northern alliance of isolationists who are exempt from a lot of southern warring and tribal politics, and our alliances are mostly out of mutual defence and respecting each other's territory from southern interlopers.
And this tribe that raided me? They're from the south. They're a somewhat large tribe, not the kind I can take on myself (especially after I just lost my Argent and some other significant resources from my primary base).
So after respawning at my backup base (which is where I went after they smashed my bed at my main one) I visited some of my neighbours and called together something of a council of the northern tribes. I made the compelling argument that this tribe that raided me was unknown to me, they were not a known enemy of mine, they targeted me not because we had existing grievances but because I was a target. Because, as a lone hermit in the north, they felt they could do so without repercussions.
And if that proved to be true, if they got away with it, it wouldn't end with me. It would embolden them. They'd learn they could foray into the north with impunity, and pick us off one by one.
We needed to send a message that wasn't going to be allowed, that the north was strong, that they shouldn't mistake a tribe of one as a man without allies.
The others universally agreed, and fifteen of us gathered together, found the base of these southern raiders, and using explosives supplied by one of our members, leveled it to the ground.
The North stands strong.

god...fuckin....ALL OF THESE ANSWERS REFER TO THINGS I HAVE NO EXPOSURE TO
I think A$AP was there because it sounds like Aesop.
and then Fables..
Aesop's Fables
The first character I thought of was The Grasshopper. It could also be The Hare though I guess
"Not A$AP, but still like to spin a fable.
The grind of a workday will leave me feeling aggravated."
A$AP appears to be a hip hop artist or group. To me this suggests that the answer is a hip hop artist whose name or famous work suggests 'The grind of a workday will leave me feeling aggravated.'
--I definitely can't supply the names of any singers/bands though, so.

I have never heard of that artist, but apparently parsing the intent of the clue was enough to get me a complimentary @ in the riddle-solving point tally, so I'm happy!
that's a good song though. Glad I learned about it.
I've listened to these before but never paid attention to the titles or actual artists (this is my relationship with most music, I didn't put any stats in Music Appreciation)
Anyway if I need to know anything about hip hop or rap I have Beasto who tells me what I need to know about it so I can go back to being a comfortable philistine

so something I've wondered is like
what's the proper etiquette for cucking? like, is the dude being cucked supposed to just sit quietly off to the side with his hands in his lap or is some polite golf-clapping permitted? maybe even a couple short perfunctory words of encouragement? idk
and like, the other dude. is kissing on the mouth off limits? it would have to be right? I mean, we do live in a civilized society we aren't animals
