#but you can get from the previous harvest for 20-50% off

Adagio teas starting up their master teas program again might mean I never have expendable income again...

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Okay, so the hunting season and the quota of Caribou availible for harvest varies year to year based on how the Department of Fish and Game wants to manage the herd. Close to a million caribou congregate for the winter and its way easier to find them as a group than to scour vast tracts of wilderness looking for individuals.

This year, in their infinite wisdom DFG decided the season would be four days long. Which is crummy for a handful of reasons, it was a fluke of work schedules that we were able to take a day off to hunt at all but there are lots of people who didn't get the chance at all. And this is a freezer-fill hunt, with a few exceptions; we are all out here looking for food.

so Me and my Sunshine get our shit together and swan off down the highway at the asscrack of dawn. I have a new rifle this year so we find a safe spot to sight in, basically to make sure the scope on the rifle is pointed at where the bullet will go. so to sight in a rifle you plant it on something solid and give yourself the most controlled conditions possible to make sure the gun is actually doing what you want, which it does.

but you don't have controlled conditions when hunting, usually, you will shoot from standing or maybe a knee. So I take a few shots from standing at our very high-tech target (a receipt on a sheet of printer paper that happened to be under the seat of the truck) and I'm convinced I'm missing it because I can't see any new holes.

I was stacking my shots and hitting the same hole in the dead center over and over again and it has been a couple of days and I'm still ludicrously proud of this. so like, everyone needs to know this.

but yay, the gun works. probably could have done that before the day of the hunt, but it works and I'm busy, so whatever.

this is a motorized area so that means if you have a four-wheeler you can drive off the road and get farther back into the tundra. or you can drive a few hundred meters off the road and sit on your ass like a bump on a log while 20 other people do the same thing and perch up on a ridge waiting to blast the balls off of anything that moves.

I don't have a four-wheeler. I'm walking which means I am carrying out whatever we shoot. it also means I'm pretty much limited to what we can see from the road. so having dozens of people who could go farther but for reasons unfathomable decided not to is annoying.

there are different schools of thought on whether it is better to sit and wait and let the animals come to you or to cover ground hoping to see something. if you have time to kill and patience to burn, or are not in great cardiovascular health, or have poor lines of sight, sitting and waiting is a good plan. I have ADHD, less than 12 hours to hunt and do cardio for fun. This is the alpine tundra, there are no trees or even much in the way of bushes. from the right vantage point, you can search 50 square miles at a time. Bump on a log is not the way to go.

Sunshine has some disagreements because he is not nearly as enamored of running long distances as I am. but I am proven right because I found all the caribou that day.

I went up to walk a ridge, coming across a hunter sitting every few hundred yards. because I was moving I came up on a cow and a calf. they're off-limits so no dinner for me but I watched them skirt the ridge and they managed to avoid the sight lines of every hunter sitting for the next few miles until I lost them in the distance.

I continue wandering and I keep finding things, including the jawbone, which I brought back with me. (it's super stimmy, the teeth rattle around and lend a whole new aspect to tickle the ivories.) The blueberries are ripe and delicious and everywhere I find a previous season's kill I find a profusion of life. I had a conversation with a woman who was only there to help pack meat and was gathering berries while her husband sat the ridge. honestly, that's usually what I do because then I'm guaranteed to come home with something.

but the whole time we're up there, we don't hear a single shot.

on the road, we don't see anyone leaving with much either. if the herd isn't in the area there's not much anyone can do except maybe get lucky with some of the far-ranging satellite bulls. the caribou aren't here.

but, as we're heading back down the highway i catch a group, skylined on a distant ridge. they're so far out there I can only see the shapes and think they're yet another group of hunters, all doing the same thing, hoping for different results.

there are maybe half a dozen and it's easily a couple miles from them to the road. That's not flat miles either. if we manage to catch and shoot one, that's hours of work to break it down and then a hard haul, down a drainage and back up a steep face with 300+ pounds of meat to move.

but it's all we've seen all day so we're chasing. miraculously, it doesn't seem like anyone else saw them, so we manage to take the truck up a four-wheeler trail to try and cut some miles off. bad plan, do not recommend.

we're up on a cliff, above where we last saw them. if one materializes out of the ether we'll have to pack it all the way back to the road because there's no getting a heavy pack up that cliff. but we're close. it might be worth it. we just need to find them and see our options.

so then the sky opens up. first drizzle, then hail. then it's raining too hard to see very far at all. we're well prepared for the elements, we can hunker down and wait it out. caribou don't care. caribou can shrug off whiteout blizzards, rain means nothing to them. they're leaving us behind.

our little dirt track that was never really meant to be used as a road has put us at the top of a cliff, the highest of all the rolling hills for miles in every direction. so then the lightning starts.

I'm stubborn, but I'm not stupid. I have no intention of being struck by lightning, again. So with a handful of hours left in the hunt we called it, no caribou for us this year.

my freezer is getting roomy and we're hoping for a moose when that season opens.

Would anyone like to hear me warble about the poorly thought out caribou season off the steese this year and my equally poorly considered hunt?

I have a bone

truly shocking how good the yakuza games Can be. i mean, of course a game can be good. but when i’ve played games like dragon age inquisition that wasted 60 hours on meaningless fetch quests without even the reward of interesting story, games like yakuza like a dragon where i’ve spent 50 hours and the entire time doing only stuff i wanted to do and enjoyed? fucking incredible

i don’t want a long game if it’s going to waste my time with things not designed to be fun for the players sake. story is nice to me, so the quests of Nier Automata and Nier Replicant were generally a fucking delight, because even if sometimes they were just fetch quests, you got regular story from them and it was interesting story (not to mention the Nier games reward you with Weapon Stories if you’re just spending time grinding to upgrade weapons, so even that potentially dull task has an interesting benefit besides just a stronger weapon). minigames i personally Enjoy Playing are enjoyable to me, so when Spyro has me do a bunch of minigames its not a waste because they’re Fun. when yakuza offers minigames, they’re nearly ALL optional, and i spend hours on them because they’re just personally Fun to me (and they often do reward with Story at certain milestones which is an additional fun part for me ToT).

i’m just so beyond irritated with games that tote 40+ hours of gameplay (or god forbid 100) but most of those hours aren’t gameplay you’d want to fucking do. either make the game 20 hours of genuinely good fun stuff to do, or make the other ‘added’ hours of gameplay optional so people who’d rather not do 60 hours of harvesting/collecting things can at least ignore that portion. (yes this is also about FFVII Remake’s 10 hour long Reactor dungeons, which was to me the biggest flaw of the Remake I couldn’t manage to overlook... some other changes were A Choice sure, but the Reactors that took 15 minutes to 2 hours at a stretch in the original, took 7-10 hours in the Remake, with nothing happening during them additional but just more grinding battle after battle. it felt like a way to pad play time. i’d have preferred a 20 hour tight game with fun interesting things happening every 1/2 hour at least, over a game padded with a lot of 5 hour chunks of nothing but grinding. I get it... the makers spent Forever on VII Remake... so they didn’t want to show they’d wasted all those years on only 20 hours and the first 1/3 of the game lol. But i’d have preferred 20 hours of a really solid Remake. i get why they made the decision though. it just makes me really Not want to replay the Remake part 1, despite all of the other parts i genuinely loved and liked. At least when i replay the original FF VII I don’t ever feel like its wasting my time. And yes I klnow long hours spent grinding is a pet peeve of mine specifically, and it is perfectly neutral or enjoyable to plenty of others - which is why a lot of people like FF13 fine whereas i quit every time i hit the required 10 hour grind section, and the reason people enjoy many a jrpgs that Are 100 hours of gameplay with a significant portion of grinding, that i’ve mostly never played cause the jrpgs i like tend to be paced more on the ‘if you do no grinding and only the battles you run into on the core path, you’ll generally always be leveled up enough’.)

back to my point. Yakuza Like a Dragon really is a well made game. At least so far, as of chapter 11. Its paced fairly well, its got a story you can follow tightly, with a lot of room to fuck off and do whatever side stories or mini games you enjoy if you want a break from the crime drama Angst story/cutscenes, its really nicely thought out AS a turn base job classes rpg game (I was really happily surprised all the goofing off i do bonding with my party members and playing side quests and minigames actually affects my job classes and what Ichiban can do in other parts of the game - meaning i get a reward for the UFO catcher besides a cute plushie lol, unlike previous games). I love that while it’s clearly designed after Dragon Quest, I can see how the designers thought out how an rpg concept would work FULLY integrated into what a yakuza game IS. They could have easily placed a turn base rpg fight system on top of the existing Yakuza game structure, instead they integrated the minigames and side stories and how bosses Work and how friendships work. I also see a lot of references to other games besides Dragon Quest - Dragon Cart feels like a blatant rip off of Crash Team Racing (one of my fave games ever - or maybe they meant to rip off Mario Cart which is conceptually the same), but i love that in my Yakuza game I can go play one of my favorite Racing games lol! And I love that the racers you compete against come with their own funny little side story the same way the Cabaret Girls game in Yakuza 0 did. I love how the bonding with party members is a lot like how you romanced/befriended cabaret girls in prior games, but being friendship focused it provides a permanent sort of feeling to the bond story deepening - since they’re constantly in your party commenting, and warmer in future cutscenes, and constantly in the game (unlike the cabaret girl sidestories in prior games). i like that because the bond stories are all treated equally, i didn’t have to worry the yakuza writers would make weaker stories for the girls (which generally didn’t happen in cabaret girl stories, but did tend to happen with some lead women in Yakuza games especially in Yakuza 1 and 2 who’s stories got a weaker written once romantically/closely tied to Kiryu). Since they’re all written fairly equally in terms of quality, Saeko’s story feels as solid as Adachi’s, etc, and I appreciate the quality improvement (and I appreciate the way the cabaret girls dating sim got combined into the party mechanic and jobs/level up system). Even the Corporation side story, which is 1 optional if you want it to be, and 2 if you enjoy it like you enjoyed Yakuza 0 Kiryu’s business venture game, then they did a pretty good job of making the Stockholder meetings work a lot like the Turn Based regular combat system, again making the element from another game feel more integrated into THIS Yakuza game specifically). I just... fucking love how much work was put into designing this Yakuza Like a Dragon game so that all the game design elements interweave so well. On top of that, it’s of course got the usual Yakuza game balance of mandatory angst crime drama fight story, and lots of optional side story content and minigame content that is up to you if you want to play and how much (except now these side elements will benefit you a bit more in the main-story portions in some ways if you choose to do some of them - like the party member bonding).

Heya everyone!

Hopefully things are going well with you all! Today I figured I'd show off a bit of what I've been working on :)  It's all themed around the 'environment' interest, which as mentioned in a previous post, is the first interest I'll be entirely working on ;)

Townie Interests Manager - General

The townie interest manager is a 'helper' for, well, pre-mades living in the town! It gives them random interests when you first load the world with this mod.

Some pre-mades are 'remakes' from TS2, I figured, would it be cool to make sure that those sims are somewhat true to their ts2 interests? And so, those sims now have interests that work with their TS2 interests!

All of these townies (aka pre-mades) have 'Dislike' and 'Passionate' (or neutral even)  that are all true to them:

(Remember 0 is absolutely disliking the interest, 20 is absolutely loving the interesting, 10 is neutral)

For premades, these interests can always be tweaked to your own personal liking of course! I'm just basing most off of the traits and skills :)

Townie Interests Manager - Autonomy

Currently, this is still a HUGE WIP of course! And currently, I'm testing it with in-game objects before I wanna try it with other mods out there and my own items that I'll make for this mod (See documentation: Google Docs )

I'm still expanding the 'autonomy' for this of course, but currently, I'm implementing the autonomy for sims to go to hobby lots (or any community lots that has their hobbies on it). They can also, of course, choose to do it at home :)

So how does this work then exactly? Well, in the picture above you might have seen 'Hobby lot: None' (which looks different with an actual lot though :p)

Here's the progress in an image format:

Of course, you can change or remove it ;) I do have to make the 'removing' part a bit clearer though. For now, you have to choose 'none' for that to work. Not so practical really.

What happens after setting a lot as a hobby lot?

From there, there's a 50% chance a sim will decide to visit that lot, or rather do their hobbies at home :) Since Entertainment currently does literally nothing, I'll demonstrate it with Environment:

For these sims, they'll need a gardening skill higher than at least 1, and there need to be at least some plants on the lot! Nraas SP seems really helpful here, as it does skill sims up automatically depending on their traits :)

(NOTE: this will NOT affect any households you're currently playing with, just families that you're currently not playing with. I'll make sure there's an off/on switch for families though :))

---

Here both Jocasta & Gobias have decided they wanted to do some gardening in their own garden!

And here, I turned the Library into a hobby lot for Environment! And so Judy decided to visit it! :)

Testing blunder:

At some point, I actually forgot to 'blacklist' residential lots from being 'harvested' (since if you have no hobby lots, townies will just go to any community lot that has plants on it :)) And because of that Gobias kindly kept stealing/tending other sim's gardens :p

That no longer is the case though :p Gobias won’t steal your harvest anymore lol

How will this be useful?

First off, I'm personally really happy that Jocasta, for example, is *actually* tending her garden! I remember how before this mod, no one would tend their gardens and they were just... well, there!

So now, even if you're playing your family, and you're maybe following them driving to work, you actually see your neighbors do stuff! 

Plus! your neighbors will actually skill up the skills they might need for their life wishes or just the storyline in general!

Stocks

As mentioned in the documentation, you can ask, in this case, the gardener sims here what they harvested and see their stock! This is extra great if your sim is a chef! All you got to do is check their stack of whatever-you-need, get anything with the best quality, and buy that, then make that perfect dish!

They may also donate some vegetables to you if they exceed over a certain limit (this is also so that the save game doesn't get bloated in huge MBs :p)

Researching an interest

Something for your own simmies! Now, because of some comments, I've seen on how people play their games, I figured this is the best way to proceed: Gatekeeping the interests.

What do I exactly mean by that? Well, if your sim is 'neutral' in an interest (So 10 points) they'll have to 'study' said interest they want to participate in :)  That way, it's also less annoying too, when your sim is gardening for example, that the interests mod keeps bugging you about selecting a hobby and stuff :p

How it works:

Either on the computer, or your phone, your sim can go to Lyra's Interests & Hobbies > Research X interest.

Depending on what thing you're researching, your sim will show thought bubbles on what they're researching! So if you ever forget, just check the thought bubbles!

In this case, it's 'Health' ;)

Another way is of course to check the queue and hover over the task :p

Want to speed up the progress?

The research progress is somewhat like the 'writing a novel' progress. However, I coded mine in such a way, that it's keeping in mind that sims are reading things, rather than writing ;)

So, Bookworms and sims who read over 50 books (so if both, you're extra lucky! :p) will research things quicker by 10%.

Neurotic sims, on the other hand, that's -5% of the overall speed, since they really wanna know all the nitpicky details on how, what, why, where, etc.

------

And that's all for now! it's not super impressive, but it was a hard job linking things together though! Hopefully, you all liked this first progress log! :)

TPN soundtrack

I’ve been listening to the OST very frequently again due to season 2 now being delayed until 2021 and.. hm, recent manga events. Some songs are very memorable to the point where I can see the anime scene in my head, while others had me think a bit more until a certain scene clicked. Even after re-watching the entire first season multiple times over the past year, there were still a handful of tracks from the OST that I didn't recognize at all. So, I spent an entire night watching all 12 of those episodes (yet again, because what else am i to do during this quarantine) to find where these songs might be hiding. I took note of all of the tracks actually, even those that went unused after some digging around.. and this is the result.

When & where do the wonderful songs of The Promised Neverland play?

Ray's Retaliation: (third favorite! i also enjoy it more than his actual theme, oops)

EP11   (11:30-13:25) - When Isabella enters the burning dinning hall, while the children escape the house. Ends when poor mother finds Emma's ear and   realizes she's been fooled by a bunch of children.

TPN (Epf solo Version): ???

Unused. Played in the drama CD though, apparently?

Bonus. If you thought the lullaby was played more, then you're not entirely wrong. Many of the tracks include the same melody:

Isabella's Lullaby [all of it, of course]

Emma's Sorrow [once from 0:24, (maybe again in the middle i think?) and then 2:02]

63194 (Emma's theme) [1:35 - 2:12]

TPN (Main theme 1 & 2) [once from 1:08, then again from 2:18, and finally 3:30]

Emma's Agony [the entire song is like a slowed down version]

Isabella's Lullaby (no vocal version) [all of it]

TPN (Pf solo version) [all of it]

Prison Break [once from 0:51 then again after 1:45]

Emma's Determination [slightly at 0:26, more noticeable at 1:28]

Isabella's Lullaby (Mandolin version) [all of it]

Ray's Retaliation [1:26 - 2:18]

TPN (Epf solo version) [all of it]

So, there we go. Perhaps others might find this as interesting as I did. If not, then no big deal. It allowed me to watch season one again, so I can't complain. The wait for next season might have grown longer, but  that shall not stop me from talking about the anime. Here's hoping we can hear those unused tracks in future seasons as well.

Rabbit Town; BNA ep 2

 “Previous Post

Preface

My previous (and first) post of these BNA first impressions ended up being more rambly than even I want to be. Most of that was due to me retelling events, which I was actually doing to help me remember what happened in the episode. So instead, I’m going to try just going through the episode again in another tab and using timestamps (which I think is the norm for this sort of thing anyway.) This technically means I’ll be writing down my second impressions, but I’d really prefer my first watch of episodes to not be interrupted every minute by me needing to tab out and write something. I’ll still try to remember and write out my first impressions anyway.

(Hmm, Netflix doesn’t seem to provide a precise timestamp. Guess I’ll just approximate things by mousing over the...runtime...bar thing.)

Cold Open

0:15 Starting off right where the last episode ended: Michiru saying that she’s human.

0:22 Shirou says she’s a tanuki, based on the appearance of her tail. She seems offended by the idea. My best guess is that her reaction has to do with what tanuki are famous for: having huge balls. (Also they’re magical spirits, which may or may not have something to do with the powers Michiru has.)

0:45 The police arrive and it seems Shirou is a known entity. Gives me Batman vibes. Is Shirou a vigilante? And in that way where the police are just used to it by now?

Opening

0:50 The OP starts and I notice the strands of DNA. Makes me think of how Michiru apparently changed species, and also the way there is some pharmaceutical company behind the very existence of Anima-City. Oh, and I just got that “BNA” is basically a pun on DNA.

1:30 Last time I had recalled something about shadowy feral transformations, but it looks like Michiru transforms into something more equine than anything else. (With what I know from later in the episode, she definitely seems to be a shapeshifter, which I think is appropriate for a tanuki.)

1:40 Oh, and there’s still totally something about this vocal melody that reminds me of “Bad Apple.” Admittedly, it’s been years since I actually listened to that song, so maybe I’ll have to go compare them later.

Forms

2:00 A detail spoiled by the OP: apparently beastmen have human forms that they can switch to, yet Michiru can’t. Honestly, it sort of looks like she’s stuck in a halfway state—a kemonomimi for the most part, though with the nose and “mask”

2:10 Shirou appears surprised, and possibly skeptical, about Michiru being unable to switch forms, indicating that it is by far the norm to be able to do so

2:35 Ah, by the way Michiru speaks about it, switching forms seems to be common knowledge even among humans. Shirou says “Quit talking like a human” in response to the idea that they’re always in beast form, which means this is a common human misconception (and this comes up later as well, illustrating how Michiru really comes across as human in little ways).

2:45 Bystanders seem to be paying special attention to Michiru, likely to her form. (This sets up what happens later over her inability to assume a human form)

Cooperative

3:00 A lot about this scene speaks to me as a trans person: someone running tests that “prove” someone’s identity and insisting that what they see on the surface is all there is to the truth

3:35 Michiru says she must be afflicted with a “disease”, reminding me of the worries I had about a pharmaceutical company being behind the city and how there may be a darker purpose involving a “cure.” Unsettlingly, Michiru also isn’t far off from saying that being a beastman—the very existence of beastmen—is itself a disease. (Mind, she doesn’t literally say that, but based on things she says at the end of the episode, it may not be too far off from how she actually feels—right now.)

4:00 Back to trans stuff, this reminds me of how being trans was, as a whole, labeled as “Gender Identity Disorder”, categorized as a mental illness rather than a natural state of being. (Also, I’m currently building a headcanon of Michiru being a trans girl. Not only because of this stuff, but also due to how she reacted to being called a tanuki: I can interpret her as feeling gender incongruence/dysphoria over the big balls thing.)

4:30 Interesting that this is a “cooperative”. Are they technically not part of the government and are more independent than that? Or maybe the term means something else in Japan.

4:40 Again with trans feels. Filling out forms and needing to identify as something you don’t actually see yourself as

4:50 (Didn’t catch that my first time around: different blood types? Wonder if blood harvesting and blood mixing will be a thing. Remembering the kids that were about to be sold off... Might these things be connected?)

(Rather than making things shorter, this is just resulting in me going even more in-depth. Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.)

5:10 Probably a bit of an exaggeration that you can’t get back anything stolen from you: says more about how this is a seedier place than the video in episode 1 let on. We sort of got that from Michiru being pickpocketed in the first place, but this lets us know that that wasn’t an irregular occurrence

5:30 (Also didn’t really absorb this my first watch, but it does make sense that Michiru has been sleeping outside while on the run. Doesn’t feel good to think about how she had to spend that time being scared of the humans around her.)

5:40 Kuro is a wonderfully round birb.

6:10 Michiru making the same connected that I made (and that the audience in general is probably expected to make) about Shirou potentially being that big wolf who was up on the rooftops

6:25 Michiru probably expected Anima-City to be the end of her struggles where everything would just be better and easier. Indeed, she is young and naive.

The Next Morning

7:20 While Michiru may be surprised by the “rule of the strong” here, it does work effectively in parallel with the focus that has been put on money (between these two episodes). The powerful get to do what they want, whether it comes from physical strength or financial power. When it comes down to it, the human world, under a capitalist framework, doesn’t behave all that differently

7:45 Oh, Shirou has some sort of direction connection with the mayor and/or the government. Is this what they meant by “social worker”? Is he some sort of government agent? Does he have the extrajudicial authority to just beat people up (and even kill them?) the way he did with those terrorists?

9:00 (Considering Marie’s apparent connection to Rabbit Town, she probably does have some connection to the pickpocket. But now that I’m making this connection... Did Marie bring those kids to Rabbit Town after they were separated from their parents by beastman hunters?)

Rabbit Town

9:25 My very first expectation with a place called “Rabbit Town” was something akin to “Little China Town”

9:35 Then it struck me as something of a red light district

10:00 And we learn what Michiru might have to deal with in the future for being unable to switch to a human form: more people may think she’s trying to pick a fight.

10:15 Saying that she’s “not some baby” indicates that there are people who can’t control their forms: young children. Or, perhaps, someone who hasn’t been a beastman for a long time. (Maybe she’ll figure it out when/if she gets back with the kids she helped rescue.)

10:45 (Struck by how “coincidental” it is that someone like Grand Grandma would end up with a random kid’s wallet. It’s making me think that the pickpocket and Marie actually funnel people into this person-trafficking ring)

11:15 With my early impression of Rabbit Town being some sort of red light district, I thought this was some sort of communal daycare. (But seeing it again, I’m noticing how stern these women are at seeing the children. Definitely doesn’t look like they care about the kids.)

11:20 The line about them being “women who were betrayed by men”, and the following lines, really fit in with my thinking that this was a red light district, and they probably just didn’t want to outright say these were sex workers. (And maybe some of them are, but it turns out to be far from the whole picture)

11:40 And it does seem to be the image they want to give to Michiru: that they’re a bunch of women struggling together with all of these kids to take care of. There was also a bit about “what it’s like to live as a beastman” which makes me think that it’s definitely the norm for beastmen to be poor—not a surprise since they are clearly an oppressed minority group

Literacy

12:05 Totally expected “Poop” to become the kids’ nickname for Michiru. (Glad it didn’t since it would have made it harder to really care about what happens later.)

12:50 Look at these cuties wanting to learn. (And sobering in retrospect to think how this is probably the most care and attention they’ve had in a while.)

13:10 I forgot to say something about it last episode, but the way Shirou’s sense of smell is visualized is amazing.

13:20 Again with the red light district impression, I was thinking this was the arrival of a pimp or something

13:40 I appreciate Michiru caring about what the kid is already doing instead of reprimanding them for not paying attention

14:00 So we learn about Silver Wolf, who could be the wolf Michiru saw when she arrived in the city. Since Shirou seems to be that wolf, does that mean he’s actually Silver Wolf? Is this an urban legend based on him? Or is he actually some sort of god?

Money

14:45 The demands of payment really played into my pimp impression, but then this guy mentions “letting these women be gangsters.” They could totally still be sex workers as well, but this clues us in that these women may be involved in shadier stuff

15:10 I wonder if the politics of these criminal groups will come more into play in the future. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of the villains we meet end up being allies by the end, considering the way Trigger tends to tell their stories.

15:35 “It’s all women are good for anyway” is an impressively disgusting line to tell us that they’ve been talking about selling the kids. Also, I wonder what it means for the mayor to know about the kids: that the government will be sending people to rescue the kids and shut them down...or that the mayor would be interested in buying...

15:45 The line about the kids being “snatched away” probably means the mayor, so probably not about buying the kids. Still doesn’t mean the “rescue” could end up being more nefarious than it would seem. (Look, I just don’t trust the head of a pharmaceutical company also being a mayor, especially when a video about the city was directly associated with the company instead of being its own thing.)

15:55 Given the earlier scene between Shirou and the mayor, and Shirou being here, I guess he’s something like the mayor’s enforcer? Her trusty hand that does what needs to be done? But I’d also guess that if the mayor is secretly a villain, Shirou has no idea

Trafficking

16:30 I immediately put together that these kids were probably separated from their parents due to attacks by those beastman hunters. (And earlier in this post is when I retroactively put together that Marie, or people with the same job, likely gave/sold the kids to Grand Grandma, if they don’t work for her directly.)

16:40 The rule of the powerful coming up again. This is the way this world (and our world) works. (Which I could go off on a political tangent about, but I’ll refrain for now.)

16:55 Michiru is an atheist. Or at least incredibly pragmatic. Not the most helpful thing to say to people who literally can’t do anything in this situation, but I appreciate the sentiment of actually doing what you can instead of hoping someone else does something about it

17:20 Hmm, no one seems too surprised about Michiru’s expanding tail powers. Maybe this is a relatively normal tanuki thing?

18:00 But the stretchy arms totally aren’t normal, even for a tanuki. Thinking about it, no one else has obviously shown any kind of powers yet. Shirou’s fight with the terrorists could have just been his physical prowess. Do these powers have something to do with Michiru’s transformation from human to beastman?

18:50 In case you didn’t catch on to everyone’s surprise, confirmation that what Michiru just did was very unusual.

19:25 Never a big fan of the “even if they’re women” line. They’ve been doing a very bad thing. Stopping them shouldn’t have anything to do with gender. Why even bring it up. But I guess it does play into Shirou being a masculine and “chivalrous” type of character, as well as this being a generally patriarchal society (which isn’t really any different from our world). (Thinking back to my post on the previous episode, I guess “this isn’t too different from our world” is probably the point that the pseudo-branding contributes to.)

20:00 It seems that Shirou’s relationship to the police is less like Batman, and more like he just outranks them.

20:20 “Facility” is such a cold and impersonal term that it really does make me worry about what the government is going to do with these kids. Again, pharmaceutical company. (I’ll make sure to go back to episode 1 and get a better look at the company’s actual name so I can use that. May as well if I’ll continue to make a big fuss over it.)

20:35 “Even though you’re a beastman, don’t you have a human heart?” is a horribly offensive question. I was initially going to refer to it as a microaggression, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how terrible it is. It’s heavily loaded with the ideas: 1) beastmen are expected to be bad, hence the “even though”, and 2) being human is inherently a good thing. Despite what she said to Shirou at the end of last episode, it seems that she really just has the inverse of his beliefs. And this is so clearly something that only a human would say that it convinces Grand Grandma of Michiru’s “humanity”

21:20 Shirou, needing to wait for evidence before he can do anything, kind of illustrates Michiru’s point of view of not being able to count on society—on anyone else—to be able to help you.

21:30 Shirou, representing the police and government authority to an extent, believing that he “never makes mistakes” again reminds me of the protests we’ve had throughout this year. How the police totally does make mistakes—or rather, the way they don’t even view things they’ve done as mistakes—is totally a problem. (ACAB)

21:40 Following up on what Grand Grandma mentioned earlier about being “betrayed by men”, Michiru questions why it’s only “women and children” that Shirou is protecting. Is it that men don’t need to be protected? “What makes males so special? Are men really that great?”

21:55 And Michiru outright says what she had only implied earlier. Also, she seems a bit scattered between being angry at men, being angry at beastmen, being angry at the police, bring angry at society, and being angry in general. But I get it.

And that’s the end of the episode. I’m not sure if this is how I’ll continue to do these impressions, but I guess I’ll have to see how I feel about it once I get to episode 3. Maybe I’ll try out some genuine first-impressions, even if it means interrupting the episode constantly.

Our Love In Color XVII

A/N: The reader is black and plus sized. 

Warnings: Plot progression, fluff

Translation: yam ivu-my rose

Your palms were sweaty as you looked around the room, nervously. M’Baku grabbed your hand and kissed it. “Relax. Take a deep breath.” He said. You tried to steady yourself as you realized that you could hinder M’Baku’s performance in the meeting. You were starting to wish that you had declined to be in this meeting.

“How long do you think this will go?” you asked.

“Some meetings can go as long as an hour. I don’t anticipate that today. If you don’t want to give input today, just watch and see how things go.” M’Baku said.

“What if I’m asked?” you said.

“Yam ivu, relax. Stop worrying.” He said. “You will be fine. We will be fine.” He took your hand and kissed each knuckle. Chief M’Bako walked in with Niyi.

“I hope everyone has had a good day.” M’Bako said. “And I’m sure all of you are aware, but we have a new guest with us today.”

You looked around the room, rolling your shoulders back and giving a warm smile to the other council members. “This is Y/N. She’ll be taking part in the council from now on. I’m sure everyone has been kept up to speed about our new developments in regards to…my son and his love life…or whatever you want to call it. So, let’s welcome her.” M’Bako sighed.

M’Baku shot him a look and a grimace, ultimately shaking his head. You took his hand to bring him back to reality. The meeting started and you watched M’Baku lead it with such a strong demeanor and talk about the politics of the Jabari. You remembered reading certain things from Niyi’s journal and drawing conclusions in your head. You kept up with the meeting and felt confidence, his confidence. He answered questions effortlessly and keep the meeting at a good pace. You fought the urge to smile so proudly at your sweetheart at work. It was at one point, he looked over to you and gave you a smirk.

“Young Y/N.” You looked up to see M’Bako glaring at you. You would have expected for this chill to go down your spine but, instead you didn’t feel phased. His glare didn’t make you shake. You didn’t feel nervous. You cross one leg over the other and glared back at him, matching his expression. “You work in the gardens, doing whatever your job entails. We’ve had an issue about whether we should expand on our croplands.”

“We aren’t sure if we should.” A council member said.

“Well, we have farmed on those lands for decades. We’ve been able to keep the land fertile but…” you started. “Our population has grown as we’ve mentioned and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. We have plenty of lumber yards but, our second-best product is our agriculture. Shouldn’t we dedicate more land and effort to that? If we would open a new garden that creates more jobs and more produce to sell. Of course, that means more revenue all the way around.”

Council members began to nod their heads and whisper. M’Bako appeared unphased by your apparent success among the council. “Yes but, we’ve operated on those lands for 50 years. It’s blessed land. Hanuman has always ensured that we as a people will be taken care of. We won’t have to move.”

“True. But, the lands before were farmed on for 55 years. During that time, the fruits and vegetables decreased in size and lost taste. Herbs that were harvested were less potent and medicines didn’t work as well at that time as history has shown. It’s a vast field and we try to let one plot rest during a season while we use the other. But, why not maximize on what we have? The current land, if history repeats, has five years left on its soil, if that. The previous lands took 20 years to regain its vitality. A few of my co-workers speculated that we could potentially use it again. Restarting an irrigation system there wouldn’t be hard. We could test that land or use the empty plot in near the west village. The small stream there could facilitate water. That’s if the council sees fit.” You said.

M’Baku was looked at you, holding a hand to his mouth and fighting a smile. He didn’t expect you to come with so much information and facts. Before, you were nervous and fighting to not sweat. Here you were, speaking in such a loud voice to match his. Your eyes meeting each member as you spoke, daring them and making them pay attention to you. It even turned him on a bit.

Niyi wasn’t going to conceal how proud she was. She smiled from the Chief’s side amazed at how powerfully you spoke. You surprised her, thinking this wouldn’t be the day you actually take part. M’Bako looked away from you and to the floor, nodding. Silently conceding to you but, wouldn’t verbally commend you. You kept your composure as you looked around the room at other members.

“We will look into what your insight and make the right decision.” The council member said.

“And the fact that your father had nothing to say afterward!” You exclaimed. M’Baku looked around and held a finger to you, reminding you to keep quiet. “I didn’t think I could do it. And of course, I know agriculture but, hearing you go on was empowering to me. Usually, I’d be nervous and pent up, but this was different. I felt more comfortable. And I don’t think it’s was because of gardening. Oh, M’Baku. It felt so good.”

“I’m well aware of how you feel.” M’Baku said, keeping one hand wrapped around your waist. He motioned you along and pulled you into his bedroom. “I’m so proud of you.”

“You were great in there, too.” You said. “I do believe I have you to thank for my success though.”

“Oh, having you there put me at ease as well, yam ivu.” He said, pulling you in and giving you a kiss. You kissed back, caressing his cheek. M’Baku held you close and your heart fluttered. You got that warm feeling again but, it was more intensified. You moaned in his mouth as he deepened the kiss. He pushed you further into the room and you gasped as you bent your legs and you met by the mattress and fur comforter.

“M’Baku.” You moaned as he kissed your neck.

“How do you get this off?” M’Baku asked, pulling at the tie of your corset.

“Here.” You said, sitting up and undoing the back. M’Baku went back to kissing you as he unfastened the short fur cover on his back and his belt. You pulled away, taking M’Baku’s wrists to stop him.

“What if someone walks in?” you asked.

M’Baku looked back at the door and groaned. “I’ll close the door.” M’Baku half-jogged to the double doors while trying to take his shoes off and was about to close them when Niyi came. He kept a crack in to expose only his head.

“Where’s Y/N? You snatched her away so fast I didn’t get to congratulate her.” She said.

“Ahh, she had a sudden headache. She’s laying down for the afternoon.” M’Baku retorted.

“Oh, is she okay?” Niyi said trying to peak in. M’Baku closed the doors more, withdrawing his own head.

“No, she’ll be fine. Just the excitement has gotten to her, she needs rest.” M’Baku said.

“Oh, well. Just bring her to me before she leaves.” Niyi said. M’Baku nodded before watching Niyi walk away. He turned back to you after closing the doors completely. You giggled as he dragged himself back over to the bed.

“Things just keep getting in the way.” M’Baku said, laying down next to you.

You smirked, settling into the comforter and looking at him. “We just have to have patience. We can wait a little while longer.”

M’Baku propped himself up on his elbow and used his other hand to caress your cheek. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.” You said. You leaned in and gave him a kiss. You pulled away and looked around the room. “So, this is your bedroom.”

“Yeah. I’ve had the same bedroom since I was a boy.” M’Baku said looking around.

“Do you move into a new room once you’re Chief?” you asked, pulling lint from his hair.

“I believe so. Why? Would you spend nights with me? Take a part of the closet and leave a few things here.” He said.

“Is this you asking me to move in?” You said.

“No…not necessarily.” He said, playing with your hand. “I’m just saying it would be nice to have you here with me on most days. It would be nice to have dinner with you, wake up next to you, all those other things.”

“So, you want me to move in? Before I’m Chieftess?” you said.

“It would just seem a bit improper for the Chieftess to not sleep under the same roof as the Chief, regardless if they are married or not. Again, it would just be a nice thought. You can tell me no if that’s not what you want.” M’Baku said, shaking his head and looking down into the fur of his comforter.

“You’d be upset if I told you no.” you answered after seeing his display of emotions.

“I’d be disappointed but, I would come to respect your decision.” He said.

“But, I love you.” You sighed. You watched his eyes drop and you pressed your lips together. You got this defeated feeling, like something had given up inside you. However, you knew it was inside him. You scooted closer to him. “I’ll put thought into it. My no isn’t set in stone.”

M’Baku nodded, leaning in a kissing your forehead. You gave a loud yawn. “So about that nap you told your stepmother about?”

M’Baku chuckled and grabbed you by your waist, positioning you almost perfectly on a pillow. His bed smelled like him with a hint of a softer fragrance. You turned on your side, settling in and taking deep breaths. M’Baku draped a spare blanket over you, slightly tucking it into your sides so you were snug. He watched you drift off until your breathing was even and soft.

He marveled at you as he sat on the bed, a peaceful sight. He thought about what it would be like waking up to you every morning. Rolling over and seeing your beautiful face. He eased out of the bed, being gentle and not wanting to wake you. He went over to the large dresser and opened the small box. He sighed thinking to put the ring on your finger now. But, it would be improper to just do it like that. Almost cowardly. But, when would ever be a good time? M’Baku sighed feeling like it was going to take a lot more work now to get what he would want.

A bit frivolous text on wheat from https://t.me/prbezposhady/18811 , translated (and surficially checked) by me

"Listen, girls. We had read latest rant on how Putin is using wheat as weapon and prepares to starve humanity. While, as Ursula fon der Lain states, (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_22_3529), nobody prohibited Putin to sell wheat and nobody put sanctions on wheat and fertilizers. Turning off SWIFT, freight and insurance (land freight and ship insurance banned by EU - translator), this is, guys, your own problems. It should not interfere with trade.

And, therefore, the bloody half-witted dictator clings with his surviving fangs, which the Ukrainian knights have not yet pulled out of the defensive means supplied from the EU (supplies, by the way, are being delayed) for the last weapon left to him - a total famine. Because Ukraine cannot sell its 20 million tons of grain, which can feed the entire suffering world. And here, girls, let's stop.

It is completely incomprehensible where Kiev took and sold the figure of 20 million tons, and then the Europeans took it and everyone believed in this magic number. Although it's not clear why. Wikipedia tells, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_wheat_production_statistics) that Ukraine produces 20+ tons (25 last year, around 25 previous years - me). But does this mean that it supplies all these tons to the world market? No, it doesn't. Ukrainians consume a little less than 9 million tons (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1094065/total-global-wheat-consumption-by-country/ 8.8 million last year). So that leaves a little over 10 for delivery (… - translator). You see, right? Then, girls, well, it is naive to think that the grain in the Ukrainian elevators is stored and is waiting for a buyer. It is supplied throughout the winter. So if something is waiting for export at the elevators, then this is not at all an astronomical 20 million tons. And not even 10. At best, 5. A separate issue is the sowing campaign. But here nobody can say for sure.

Let's go further. World grain production (in 2021) - 768 million tons. 200 will be exported -million-mt). And here, ladies, things really get interesting. Russia (and this is already clear) can export over 40 million tons (with production of over 85 and its own consumption of 41 million tons, respectively). And this, just, makes up those same 20% of the market. And even worse. And Ukraine, as we saw above, is barely scraping together 5% of the market. But the fun doesn't just end there.

The largest consumer (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1094065/total-global-wheat-consumption-by-country/) is China. Grows 134 and eats 148 million. The same India provides itself. Or USA. They eat 30 and produce 50. True, there is an opinion that the expected harvest there is not as kind as last year. As long as we're going well. Canada produces in large surplus. But here, attention. For example, the European Union. It produces 109 million tons. From the pine forest. But it consumes 107. That is, how much it produced - so much it consumed. Another thing is that Europe sold its grains to North Africa, including through any swap scheme, taking part of it in Ukraine, for example, for fodder. Or England. Produces 9, and eats 15. There is, as they say, a nuance.

That is, girls, if there is a famine. That will happen, most likely, in the EU itself, and not, say, in North Africa, where, of course, everything will be delivered to Egypt and Algeria. Here in Central Africa, as before, nothing reached, and now it will not reach either. Europeans will eat everything along the way. So it's not about hunger. And that the same Europe will lose its own traditional markets. Well, and no one, of course, will take oats out of the British mouth to feed a defenseless black child. This will be done at our expense. Although, it seems that there is some kind of agreement regarding blacks (https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5382716) ("President of Senegal arrives in Sochi for talks with Vladimir Putin" - title and meaning of reffered article - translator).

However, here lumberjack Igor, our home agroanalyst, says that Raska (Russia as usually called by political opponnents - me) is going to supply not more than 40, but more than 50 million tons to foreign markets this year. That is, to seriously compensate for Ukroexport. But Ursula said that there would be hunger, and Europeans never deceive anyone in such things. There will be a famine this year, it has already been agreed and the project has been approved."

Katie Reviews “Far Cry 5″

Doctor Stupidlove

Another day, another Far Cry game. Whether or not that’s a good or bad thing depends on person to person with a laundry list of variables, including but not limited to personal taste and sensibilities, franchise fatigue, whether or not you bought into the glue-huffing guff that this game held a leftist bias pushing an anti-white, anti-American agenda because for the first time in the series the bad guys are an American fanatically religious death cult instead of brown people from imaginary foreign countries, and a myriad of other things I’m probably missing. I’ll say up front that after Primal and a bunch of other bullshit from Ubisoft between now and the infamous ‘women are too hard to animate’ thing I was pretty much done with the series and Ubisoft as a whole. Then the launch trailer for Far Cry 5 dropped and, having grown up in a dead gold mining community chock-full of racist loonies not unlike the one depicted in the fictional Hope County, my interest immediately peaked.

See, the Far Cry games have a strange pattern to them. No game is perfect, but the Far Cry games stand out in that they have one glaring flaw that mars an otherwise damn good game. Far Cry 3 is held aloft as when the series peaked, and for good reason, but the main character was irredeemably unlikable and the main charismatic villain just up and vanishes from the halfway point in the game. Far Cry 4, or Far Cry 3 2 as some call it, fixed the villain problem but the main character was just dull. Primal was...not good, with a boring lead, a boring villain, and an overall boring game. Sure, Blood Dragon was a ton of fun, but part of the charm was that it was completely self-aware of its’ own absurdity and the characters from the hero to the villain weren’t characters so much as they were walking punchlines.

So how does Far Cry 5 compare? Well, when it comes to story, setting, and gameplay, it’s a step up from Far Cry 4 in some ways, blows Primal out of the water, but has its’ own issues and hang-ups that don’t quite make it live up to Far Cry 3. That’s the short version, anyway. The long version?

Let’s start with graphics, location, and aesthetics. Far Cry 5 looks fucking beautiful. 

I’m not kidding, everything from the wild lands, the forests, the mountains, the lakes and rivers, the settlements, everything in Far Cry 5 is absolutely gorgeous. It’s not quite up there with Breath of the Wild or Horizon: Zero Dawn in sheer style and detail, but it’s pretty damn close. More often than not I found myself forgetting about the mission and spending a lot of time exploring, hunting, and trying to take in the sights. More on the ‘trying’ part in a bit. The atmosphere sucks you right in, everything from the chirping birds and buzzing bees making the world feel alive. Exploring the woods and hearing cultist singing and chanting far off in the distance, especially at night, is legitimately terrifying. Wildlife always plays a key role in the Far Cry games and this is no exception, from docile deer to the always pleasant wolverine providing plenty of opportunities for hunting. Just don’t get skunked.

The game takes place in Hope County, a fictional region in rural Montana. Now I’ve never actually been to Montana, but I did grow up in Washington state and I can’t help but notice many similarities. The woods, the rivers, the god damned apple farms, exploring Hope County felt like I was going home again. Sometimes not for the better, but that’s neither here nor there. In any case, Hope County is beautifully detailed, from the farms to forest to the interiors of the (ugh...) Spread Eagle bar to the small hunting cabins out in the woods. Hats off to the artists and environmental designers for Far Cry 5, because they manage to tell more story about the world and characters with just a ransacked pumpkin farm and a dog mourning his dead owners than Square Enix and Konami ever could with a 20 minute cutscene and a dictionary’s worth of dialogue for each character.

Speaking of characters, the Far Cry games are loaded with memorable characters and the locals of Hope County are no exception. Returning character Hurk is back and as redneck-y as ever, and it turns out Hope County is his home. We also meet members of his family, like his pyromaniac cousin Sharky, his promiscuous mother Adelaide and her boyfriend Xander who’s roughly 1/3rd her age, and his racist conspiracy theorist gun-hoarding father Hurk Sr. No wonder he’s so messed up.

But Hurk and his folks aren’t the only people you meet, as the game is packed to the brim with memorable characters that you either love or love to hate, from lovable country boy Nick Rye and half-feral huntress Jess Black to the cartoonishly evil Seed family. More on them in a minute. Oh, and you get a pet bear named Cheeseburger.

Combat and gunplay is as tight as ever, and vehicle control is so smooth it gives Grand Theft Auto a run for its’ money. The soundtrack is pretty damn good, featuring a good mix of licensed and original music and songs. To the surprise of nobody my favorite is the one that plays during the stunt missions.

Leveling and character progress has been streamlined a bit. You upgrade your skills not by gaining experience, but by completing in-game challenges and finding ‘perk magazines’ that, you guessed it, give you points to unlock...well, perks. Some may not like that, but in my opinion it makes sense because if you gained experience just by killing stuff you’d reach level 50 before your first boss fight. Things like bigger ammo bags and extra weapon holsters are no longer unlocked by animal skins but through perks, and said said skins are now exclusively a form of making money.

So that about covers it for the good, and now it’s time for the bad. The streamlining I just brought up both helps and hurts the game. On one hand it does make progressing a lot less tedious, but on the other hand it does take away a lot of what makes Far Cry stand out from other typical shooters. It feels less like they were trimming the fat and more like they were cutting corners. For starters, areas that contain loot only contain ammo, crafting components, and sometimes money. There’s no more animations for skinning animals, harvesting plants, looting corpses, or even your character opening doors. That’s not so bad, but I really miss how dynamic and, as much as I’ve grown to detest this word, cinematic meeting new characters in previous games were. Take a look at this scene in Far Cry 4 when you meet Longinus, easily one of the highlights of the game.

And here’s what happens when you meet Sharky in Far Cry 5. (MINOR SPOILERS)

See the difference? Now one can argue that meeting new characters in real time saves some...well, time and is considerably less pretentious, but it just isn’t as interesting. Far Cry 5 still has plenty of scripted cutscenes, but again, they’ve been stripped down to the bone.

Now remember what I said earlier about trying to take in the sights? This game is packed to the fucking gills with enemy NPCs. Now previous Far Cry games had plenty of enemies as well but this went way overboard to the point that you can’t walk or drive 50 feet before running into a convoy or roadblock or whatever. I speak no hyberbole when I say that by the time you’ve liberated your first region, you’ll have killed more cultists than there are people currently living in real-life Montana as well as hunted and skinned more wolves, cougars, and bears than there are wolves, cougars, and bears currently populating the US west coast. Also, in what universe can a fucking turkey pose a legitimate threat to humans!? Does Far Cry occupy the same universe as fucking South Park?

The story of Far Cry 5 is pretty straight forward, but it definitely feels like there’s some pretty big pieces missing from it. This isn’t just me, critics and players across the board agree that it feels like something was cut from the game at the last minute. This is especially true for the endings, but more on that in a bit. I can’t help but feel that the writers and developers had a lot more to say about racism, gender roles and the enforcement thereof, gun violence and gun culture in America, sexism, religious zealotry, far-right extremism, and of course this tire fire of a presidential administration, because the pieces for all of that are still there. A handful of NPCs mention gender roles for a hot second, several of the guns for hire make disparaging remarks about Trump, the symbol of Eden’s Gate strongly resembles the same symbol the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups use, Hurk’s dad is a caricature of far-right ideals purposefully exaggerated for ridicule and contempt, and there’s even a mission where you meet up with another returning character to find Trump’s pee-tape.

All of the elements are there, but the game says almost nothing about any of it. Why?

When the first trailer for the game dropped it was around the same time Wolfenstein II: the New Colossus was close to release and the same mouth-breathing shitheels who screamed about how killing Nazis in Wolfenstein was pushing an anti-white, anti-conservative agenda did the same thing for Far Cry 5. My guess is that the PR guys at Ubisoft saw the oxygen-thieving wastes of space screaming about how the game was “anti-white SJW propaganda” and then panicked and removed huge chunks of the game so as not to alienate any racist shitheads who may want to buy it. Not only does the game say almost nothing about any of the themes and elements that I mentioned earlier, but the cult of Eden’s Gate is multi-racial and gendered where most of the guys have long hair and hipster beards and all the women barring Faith Seed have short hair and buzz cuts. It’s really jarring and feels like something that was added at the last minute, as the male cultists all sound the same and the female cultists say hardly anything at all.

That brings us to the player character; they’re aren’t a character, they’re an avatar and silent protagonist. Now there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it feels strange. Especially when you play as a female, which I did. Now the character creation itself is fine, especially with the wide variety of outfits, but the rest is pretty bare bones. More to the point, it’s painfully obvious they designed the game with a male lead in mind and then added a gender-switch as an afterthought. Almost everyone in the game refers to you by male pronouns (which to be fair I call my ladyfriends ‘dude’ all the time) but there are a few scenes where you’re found shirtless in the game. Now call me old-fashioned, but I’d have a bit stronger of a reaction than “Oh, you startled me” if I woke up to some weirdo carving the word ‘wrath’ into my tits! I have a sneaking suspicion that they added a gender switch at the last minute because someone reminded them of the time they looked like lazy idiots for claiming your customizable assassin in Assassin’s Creed: Unity couldn’t be a woman because women were too hard to animated.

And now, let’s finally talk about the Seed Family.

We have the leader Joseph Seed, the trainer and disgraced soldier Jacob, the sadistic second in command John, and the seductress Faith. The Far Cry games are known for their charismatic villains and the seeds are no exception, and especially gripping because the second you meet any single one of them you immediately want them dead. The only problem is that, again, they’re so cartoonishly evil that the more you see them the more you want to shove them crotch-first into the mouth of a hungry grizzly bear. Vaas was always one step ahead of you and constantly in your face and Pagan Min was so suave and charming that you kind of wanted to see where he was going with it all.

Not the case with the seeds. When you see them they immediately piss you off, and the more you see them they just keep pissing you off because they keep hiding behind doors, cronies, hallucinations, or plot devices. And hey, that’s fine. As long as you get to shove the barrel of a shotgun right into their mouth and spatter their brains all over the walls of their church then who cares, right?

....

So, let’s talk about the endings of the game.

Once you’ve liberated all three regions of Hope County by killing John, Jacob, and Faith, you return to the main cult compound to arrest Joseph once again. However, once you get there and cuff him you step outside to find your allies under the brainwashing influence of the drug Bliss and a boss fight ensues. When you knock your allies out and revive them, they snap out of their Bliss-induced stupor and turn on Joseph, and once you’ve freed all of them Joseph drops like a hot rock. When Joseph is down and the day is won...this happens.

....no, really. 

Right the fuck out of nowhere a nuke lands somewhere in the outskirts of Hope County and you scramble to escape, and pretty soon you black out and wake up in a bunker chained to a bed with Joseph hovering over you saying that you’ll be his first new recruit in the cult. All the allies you previously made die as Hope County is wiped off the map and the game ends, not even giving you a continuation like previous games did and rendering every single thing you did up to this point totally and utterly meaningless.

Now some people have defended this, including the developers, saying that there are radio broadcasts in-game talking about how tensions are raising in Russia and North Korea. I spent hours driving around in the game listening to the radio and I heard no such thing, but if they’re indeed there then this only furthers my suspicion that this was a last-minute change because of the backlash from racist shitbirds and wasn’t the ending the writers and developers originally intended. 

For starters, the escalating tensions between Russia, the US, and North Korea aren’t mentioned anywhere else in the game except in the radio broadcasts (which again, I never heard) and despite the Seeds going on and on about “the collapse” we never get any idea of what the collapse is until the end of the game. It’s not even a convincing depiction of a nuke going off! Just some burning trees and a few animals dropping dead as you make your escape with Joseph in tow and neither of you having so much as a sunburn. If this ending was what they planned from the start then they would have went all out, showing in graphic detail the horrors of a nuclear holocaust. How much of a gut-punch would it have been to see Nick Rye hug his wife and newborn daughter just before the skin is blasted off their bones like that scene in Terminator 2 that made me avoid mesh fences for two fucking years? Or Jess run one of her own arrows through her heart to spare herself an agonizing death? Or hell, Hurk, one of the few returning characters in Far Cry, desperately begging the player for help as his face melts off his skull? That would have hit players and hit players hard and people, myself included, wouldn’t be bitching about how out of nowhere and shit the ending is! And that’s to say nothing of the idea of North Korea wasting one of the handful of nukes they have on rural fucking Montana! Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ, Ubisoft, how fucking stupid do you think we are!?

...okay, fair enough. But still!

Now I know what you’re probably thinking. “Well, damn, that’s grim. Anyway, what’s the good ending like?” 

That IS the good ending.

No, I’m not even kidding. Despite the end scenario being Doctor Strangelove by way of Deliverance (and no, that’s not me being snarky, the game references the movie by playing “We’ll Meet Again” during the final cutscene) that’s the good ending because you, the player, are still alive. The bad ending is that after you arrest Seed and see your friends and allies under the influence of Bliss, you’re given the option to let him go and walk away. You then then your Bliss-induced allies walk with Joseph peacefully into the church and then leave with the same three people, in which they get into a car and leave while chatting about getting the army involved and taking Seed out once and for all. One of them then turns on the radio, the song “Only You” plays, and a red haze takes over the screen just before the credits roll heavily implying that you succumbed to the brainwashing drug (which you’re exposed to several times in the game) and either attacked or killed the people you spent the time in the game trying to save. Either way, each ending renders your actions completely and utterly meaningless.

Why did they do this? Well, partially because the Far Cry writers really love the “There is no objective good or evil, everything and everyone is equally terrible” cliche and they assume everyone else does too, but once again I have no doubt in my mind that the ‘good’ ending wasn’t the original ending and was in fact a last-minute change to appease angry racists in order to not alienate what Ubisoft thinks is their core demographic. What a bucket of cocks.

Final Thoughts

Now despite the endings being complete and utter hot garbage that renders all your actions meaningless, there’s still plenty of fun to be had in Far Cry 5. The combat is satisfying, base jumping and flying around never gets old, the characters are great, and despite chickening out on the themes introduced it’s still a plenty serviceable story. It won’t be winning any awards anytime soon, and if you’re looking for some post-2016 return of the Nazis catharsis then I’d go with Wolfenstein II: the New Colossus instead, but there’s still plenty fun to be had exploring the beautiful wilds of Northwest America while gunning down religious nutjobs, hunting dangerous game, and completing side-quests from uprooting doomsday prepper bunkers to making a bull testicle cook-off to raise morale possible.

Top Places To Celebrate Oktoberfest In 2021 in Munich

The Top Places To Celebrate Oktoberfest In 2021 in Munich During Covid Unfortunately, because of Covid Oktoberfest in Munich is once again canceled. They just announced that barring any national regulations they intend to have the festival again in 2022 probably only for those that are vaccinated and also who have a negative test.  So what about 2021? Well, the following list of bars, breweries, and restaurants have banded together to offer special Oktoberfest treats during the traditional Oktoberfest period.  In a city whose name is practically synonymous with beer, there will be plenty of choices of great places to go to. You'll never run out of options in Munich no matter what your taste may be. This guide will hopefully show you some places that you may not have been aware of and that can be enjoyed during Oktoberfest or at any time of year.  Andechser am Dom Over the past 20 years, the Krätz family has offered Bavarian coziness in Andechser with a view of the Frauenkirche's sundial. As part of the charm of Andechs Monastery, you can view ceiling paintings painted by Rainer Maria Latzke and Gothic wall paneling. It is one of the few places that you can find Doppelbock, a strong-malty brew year round plus the food is excellent.

WHY START A MICROGREENS BUSINESS?

In this article, we will explain six reasons to start your own microgreens business. In a previous article, we reviewed in detail the definition of microgreen business. There are numerous excellent factors to begin a microgreen business:

1-The market grows

The pandemic C-19 has actually altered individuals’ intake routines. Microgreens have no direct effect on the infection however benefit health due to their dietary properties. Consumers in the Western world are progressively requesting this kind of fruit and vegetables.

In lots of countries, microgreens are popular and utilized, particularly in premium food. These small plants can be a special and ingenious component efficient in improving meals beyond aesthetic appeals by including taste (microgreens enrich meals with unique tastes, from sweet to salty, to spicy and sharp-tasting) and, most notably, by increasing the dietary worth of food. Microgreens are likewise progressively utilized in cosmetics to make hair shampoos and skincare products.

The commercial need for these items is likewise growing. Current research study projections stable growth of 7.5% per year for the microgreens market.

This development trend is anticipated to continue at a minimum of till 2026 [1]. The essential sales markets are the United States, followed by Canada and Mexico, however, the need for microgreens is likewise considerable in Europe.

2- Low financial investment expense

You can begin your business with a couple of trays, some soil, and a couple of seeds and go from there. All the products required to grow a single plant can cost about 2 dollars. With a couple of hundred dollars, you can purchase all the products you require to construct a grow rack (as I will reveal to you later in the next article) and begin.

The other products utilized in microgreens production, such as seeds and product packaging, are not excessively pricey, particularly compared to the cost to sell the produce. It is possible to recover the financial investment expenses in a brief time totally.

3-It is a regional business

Because this is a fairly brand-new business, there are no considerable producers in the market. The item is naturally fit to be marketed by regional farmers who can make much better contact with restaurants and little stores in the location. As you check your strategy and specialize, you can make free samples and disperse them at restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and farmers’ markets. You do not need to have a hard time ending up being a leading supplier. You can slowly grow your business and increase your production as demand grows.

4-Short productive durations

Unlike many adult plants, the production cycle of microgreens is workable. It takes between one and 4 weeks from sowing to harvest, depending upon the range. Such a brief production cycle enables the unskilled grower to specialize and find out in a short time, recognize and lower common issues, and maximize production and performance. You can rapidly decrease or increase output as your sales fluctuate throughout the year.

5-All-year-round production.

Unlike many crops, microgreens can be grown even throughout the winter season in northern environment zones. This is certainly a terrific benefit for anybody who wishes to begin a business. Numerous microgreens farmers I understand to operate in areas of the world where absolutely nothing else can be grown or can just be grown for a couple of months a year.

Microgreens do not see this issue. All you require is a space that is not too cold and LED lights that simulate solar lighting. With these easy ways, you can grow throughout the year without issues.

6-High financial worth.

Microgreens are specific niche items targeted to an audience of individuals who appreciate the environment and their health.

Consumers around the world are voting with their wallets for regional food, picking to look for and purchase from regional growers instead of purchasing food that is transferred hundreds and even thousands of miles. This requirement produces brand-new chances for little farmers to begin or broaden their businesses.

There is still insufficient supply in the market to satisfy needs. Due to the high dietary content of lots of microgreens, holistic doctors and nutritional experts are now starting to advise microgreens to their clients. In addition, microgreens are likewise beginning to end up being popular in the cosmetic market.

Since microgreens bring such a high rate, normally $20 to $30 per pound, growers can get a fast return on their financial investment for seed, devices, and labor.

These components make it possible to use a premium price and make microgreens an item with a high retail worth.

You can break even in a brief duration and make a big earnings margin when you integrate consistent sales methods and progressively effective production.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT MICROGREENS BUSINESS1-How much space do you require?

Growing microgreens does not need much area. That’s more than the adequate area to get begun if you have an extra space in your home. A lot of microgreens growers utilize racks to maximize vertical area.

2-How much you can make?

The average selling price for microgreens is $25– 40 per pound. If you are beginning and growing microgreens on a single level, such as a table, each 10″ x 20″ tray will typically produce 8 to 12 ounces of microgreens, depending upon what you are growing.

That implies you will have the ability to make a minimum of $12.5– 18.8 per tray of microgreens. Lots of growers can produce 50 pounds of microgreens per 2-week cycle in a 60-square-foot space utilizing racks with 4 compartments.

At $25 per pound, that’s $1,250 per cycle, or about $2,500 each month. At $40 per pound, that’s $2.000 per cycle or about $4.000 monthly. When your operation is up and running, you can make $41 – $66 per square foot each month.

3-How long does this business take?

The quantity of time you require to invest each week on your microgreen business depends upon the size of your business. If you’re just growing a lots floorings a week in a side space, then it might be a part-time task that just takes 15 to 30 minutes every other day, plus a little additional time for offering and gathering.

, if you’re running a six-figure (or more!) microgreens operation, anticipate it to be a full-time task plus something else. You’ll most likely require to work with a couple of staff members to stay up to date with need.

Essentially, a microgreens business can take as little or as much time as you desire. As in the majority of locations of life, you will get a proportional quantity compared to what you take into it. There are some economies of scale that you can utilize to your benefit.

4-Do You require a license to sell microgreens?

Among the most typical concerns individuals inquire about this business is whether they require to get some license or accreditation or go through the federal government to offer microgreens. The answer is that it depends upon where you are located.

We’ll cover this subject in more information in a later post. In the meantime, nevertheless, I can inform you that every state in America has its own guidelines, and to discover what the guidelines are in your state (if you live in the U.S.), you can visit your state’s Department of Agriculture sites.

When I began my business, the very first thing I did was register with the state as a business and get my brand name for an individuals farm, and that made me a legal business.

I did much research in my state’s Department of Agriculture and discovered practically absolutely nothing about microgreens.

I talked with some attorneys, and they informed me that in my state, you are exempt from almost whatever if you sell less than twenty-five thousand dollars a year. American law does not appreciate the little manufacturer.

I’m sure I’m in the right due to the fact that I’ve studied my state’s laws, talked with lawyers, and done extensive research study. I recommend you to do the exact same.

I likewise have to state that since I’ve been doing this work, I’ve never ever had a restaurant inform me to reveal them my license or reveal them that it’s legal for me to offer them this item; they are simply delighted to get my product.

5- Is this business right for you?

Initially, you require to discover out if growing and selling microgreens are lucrative in your location. And likewise, whether you are the appropriate kind of person to be successful in a microgreens business.

Beginning a business is not for everybody. You might not remain in a stage of life today where you can dedicate the time and energy to get your microgreens business off the ground.

It might be best to wait for a much better time prior to you begin if you can’t totally dedicate to your service. Getting going in microgreens production enables you to go into brand-new markets and broaden existing markets.

The capability to grow these micro-vegetables in a little area and on vertical racks permits an amazing production idea.

How to blackcurrant bush care in spring

It's springtime in the garden, berry, and vegetable gardens. Today we will discuss blackcurrant. What kind of care does this berry need during the spring? It must be said that the treatment of berries in spring is more important than in autumn. If there is still snow and some work cannot be done, the order of work can be changed. For example, carry out spring cleaning of blackcurrant from debris accumulated during autumn and winter. Do not carry out formative pruning and carry out blackcurrant bush care if it was carried out in the autumn. But let's try to consider all the work in order Spring care for blackcurrant includes these urgent tasks.

CLEANING BLACKCURRANT BUSHES The main cleaning of old branches, fallen leaves, and weeds in blackcurrant bushes is done in the fall. However, during the fall and winter, debris builds up and must be removed. Carefully rake out the overwintered old leaves in the blackcurrant bushes and between the branches in the bushes, and be sure to burn them. Undoubtedly, in them, some overwintering pests are late to rest.

SANITARY PRUNING OF BLACKCURRANT Check blackcurrant bushes thoroughly. Cut off all broken, inward-growing, diseased, and dry branches. Check the lower branches and prune off those that are lying on the ground. They have been covered with snow. Trim them off at the last or penultimate live bud so that they are near the top. Pile up the branches. Check for old blackcurrant branches whose effective fruiting has ended. These are branches that are 6-7 years old. They are covered with old, rough bark and have almost no young side shoots and buds. Such branches will not form a harvest, but they will take some nutrients from the younger ones. Cut them off near the ground and send them to the pile as well. Transfer the live fruiting shoots to blackcurrant. Check them one by one from the bottom to the tips of the branches. If there are frozen parts, cut back a live shoot. If the blackcurrant bushes look emaciated and the young fruiting shoots are thin, cut them all off to 3-4inch (8-10cm). This method saves the bush's strength to form a harvest. Recheck the fruiting shoots. On some branches, the shoots are swollen and round. There the mites have settled down for the winter. If the whole branch is infested with mites, cut it off without complaint. Otherwise, we may lose the harvest. Affected blackcurrant branches are bound to burn. If there are 1-2 swollen buds on the fruiting branches of blackcurrant, pick them off and put them in a bag or pocket. Then burn them, as well as all cut branches.

REGULATION PRUNING OF BLACKCURRANT After all preparatory pruning, proceed to annual pruning of blackcurrant bushes for bush loading. Loading of blackcurrant bushes is carried out simultaneously with sanitary pruning. In young 2-3-year-old bushes, 3-4 well-developed shoots are left, and the rest are cut out in a ring at ground level. The stems are cut to form a temporary circle or quadrilateral roughly equidistant from each other. Within this circle/square, no young growth should be left. The wider the base, the brighter the blackcurrant bush will be, and the larger the berry set will be. Each year, the blackcurrant bush will be replenished with 3-4 annual shoots of the rootstock type. By the age of 5, the bush will have 8-12 strong fruiting branches. There can be more if the bush has a large diameter at the base. blackcurrant shoots are 3-5-6inch (8-13-15 cm) apart. Second-order shoots are practically untouched. If the previous year's growth equals or exceeds 15-18inch (40-45 cm), it can be shortened.

Remember! The width of the base of the blackcurrant bush depends on the correct planting method. Seedlings should be planted diagonally, not vertically. In the case of inclined planting, the bush will develop an additional root system and form more shoots from dormant buds.

The most active period of blackcurrant crop formation is 5-7 years, then the aging and fruiting of old branches decreases. These branches are first pruned in March when the bushes are loaded. 8-9-year-old bushes are uprooted and replaced by younger bushes that gradually transfer the berries to new locations. The uprooting of blackcurrant can be replaced by rejuvenation, which is more practical in the spring before the buds open (March). All shoots are cut back in a circular fashion in rejuvenation, forming a bush from the new young shoots.

TREATMENT OF PESTS AND DISEASES Immediately after pruning, pest and disease control of blackcurrant shrubs is started. Experienced gardeners apply several types of treatments to dormant shrubs. 1. Treatment by fire. 2. Treatment with boiling water. 3. Treatment with insecticide solutions. 4. Treatment with biological agents.

A. Blackcurrant fire treatment A large number of experienced gardeners have started to use early blackcurrant treatments (in early March, when the bushes are asleep) with blowtorch or airgun fire to control mites and aphids. After pruning, the blackcurrant bushes are thinned sufficiently. The fire of the burner is pointed at the bush branches at a distance of 3-4inch (8-10cm) and led 2-3 times along the branches from top to bottom. As if stroking the fire. Do not get close to the fire or hold the branches still. They do not need to be fried. Only scorch them on the surface. This kills aphid eggs and a large number of mites, which, from their numbers, overwinter in the swollen buds.

Remember! Only blackcurrant, red currant, white currant, and strawberry/grass berries can be treated with fire. Other types of berries (raspberries, blackcurrant, and others) should not be treated.

If there is still snow around, you can shovel it away from the blackcurrant roots and put it back in place a few days later. If you are afraid of fire treatment, please go to one of the following, which, in your opinion, is not so dangerous.

B. Treating blackcurrant with boiling water As with the fire treatment, do this in early spring when the blackcurrant bushes are dormant. Use about 1-1.2 buckets of hot water for each large blackcurrant bush. Fill the sprinkler with boiling water and rinse with boiling water from a height of 6-8inch (15-20 cm) above the bush. By the time the water reaches the bush, the temperature will have dropped to 140-158°F (60-70°C) and will not damage the plants. A bath will reduce the number of pests and fungal diseases, but it will not eliminate them completely. Therefore, at the stage of bud expansion, we will return to the issue of plant pest control.

C. Blackcurrant insecticide treatment Treat blackcurrant bushes with a 1-2% solution of copper sulfate or a 3% solution of Bordeaux mixture from the end of March to the beginning of April. As recommended, a copper chloride solution can be used. Treatment with these preparations partially eliminates overwintering mites and aphids as well as fungal infections. During the period, when blackcurrant buds begin to form, experts recommend treating bushes with dispersible sulfur or colloidal sulfur suspension. During this period, it is still possible to spray with "Use sulfur as an insecticide" and other approved preparations. Actara" and other preparations can be used. However, the use of chemical preparations is undesirable in private gardens, and in homes with small children, the use of chemical preparations is prohibited. Ecological cleaning products can be obtained by using biological preparations, infusions, and decoctions of insecticidal plants.

D. Treatment of blackcurrant with biological agents Biological preparations can be used to treat currants in all warm seasons until harvest, which will help to get rid of mites, aphids, fireflies, fungal infections of different diseases, and other pests and diseases. The maximum effect of the biological preparation is shown at a positive temperature of 59-64°F (15-18°C).

CAUTION! It is necessary to dilute and use biological preparations exactly as recommended. Then their effect will be maximum.

Biological preparations are harmless to humans, animals, and birds. They start working after a few hours. Their effect lasts at least 2-3 weeks. Repeated treatments before the end of the drug effect are carried out only after the rains. For the protection of plants from pests, use "BITOXIBACILLIN" and others. For disease protection - "Trichodermin," "Alirin - B" and others. Biological preparations are well mixed in the tank mixture, which reduces the number of treatments and the load on the shrubs during treatment.

E. Decoction and infusion of insecticidal plants Now appear tips and recommendations for gardeners and horticulturists on the use of insecticidal plants to protect fruit crops from pests. 1. Infusion of garlic. 2. Infusions of bilberry, marigold (tagetes), dandelion, yarrow. 3. Fresh potato leaves. 4. Aqueous decoction of tobacco, yarrow, etc. In addition to harmless insecticidal plants, suggestions abound for the use of very poisonous plants that kill a poor percentage of pests and act as a poison when used on unwashed berries in food. Please note!

FERTILIZATION OF BLACKCURRANT Fertilizer application rules for each type of fertilizer. 1. Apply fertilizer with a diameter equal to or slightly larger than the canopy of the bush. 2. Apply fertilizer evenly on all sides, spreading it on the soil surface during watering or shallowly burying it 2-3inch (5-8cm) into the soil. 3. In early spring, blackcurrant bushes can be fertilized with a deep application of organic matter or whole manure. Depending on the age and size of the bush, dig a trench 12inch (30 cm) deep and 3-4inch (8-10 cm) wide along the perimeter at a distance of 20-24inch (50-60 cm). Pour a solution of organic or mineral fertilizer into it, absorb it and cover it with soil. 4. The fertilizer solution can be applied directly to the surface of the loose soil under the blackcurrant shrub. In this case, after fertilization, the soil is watered with clean water and covered with mulch.

A. Stages of blackcurrant fertilization During the spring, 2 fertilizations were made. 1. at the stage of starting flowering. Late maturing varieties form shoots of 0.4-0.8inch (1-2 cm) in the same year. 2. The beginning of the mass setting of berries.

A1. First spring fertilization of blackcurrant Fertilization of blackcurrant starts at the age of 3 years (first fruits). If fertilization has not been applied under blackcurrant since autumn, the first spring fertilization is carried out. 1. solution of organic fertilizers (manure, poultry manure). 2. Total mineral fertilizer. 3. A mixture of organic and mineral fertilizers. To fertilize blackcurrant's manure, use a solution of 1 part of cow manure to a concentration of 10 parts of water and add 20-25 grams of urea or ammonium nitrate. If you use poultry manure instead of manure, dissolve 1 part of manure in 3-4 Gal (12-15 liters) of water and add urea. In the absence of organic matter, you can make nitroglycerin at a rate of 30-40 g per bush, then water and mulch. If blackcurrant bushes are large and highly knotted, it is better to make an organic mineral mixture in spring with manure or poultry manure and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Dilute 1 part of manure with 2.5 Gal (10 liters) of water, add 20-25 g of calcium superphosphate and 10-15 g of potassium sulfate. Mix the mixture well and apply it to the furrows located at the edges of the current trees. After applying and closing the manure, you can water the bush with a moderate amount of water (do not dilute the manure). If in autumn the soil under blackcurrant is filled with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, then in the first spring application, use only nitrogen in the form of urea or ammonium nitrate at a rate of 50-60 g/11 sq. ft. area. 1/2 of the prescribed rate is available for bushes older than 4 years.

A2. Second spring fertilization of blackcurrant Depending on the time period, the second spring fertilization of blackcurrant is after 14 days or at the stage of heavy berry set. Currants in this period need micronutrients in addition to basic fertilizers. Plants can get them in the form of top dressings. 1. on 0,5-1,0 cup of wood ash under the bush, followed by a shallow burial by loosening and watering, and mulching. 2. 2-6,5 Lb (1-3 kg) of humus mixed with potassium sulfate can be applied under each bush. The treatment after fertilization is the same as for the application of ashes. 3. Mineral fertilizers containing trace elements - "Kemira" and others - can be used for topdressing. They can be applied to the soil under bushes or foliar feeding by spraying the solution. Soil applications are 50-60 grams per 11 square feet of area. For foliar applications, dissolve 10 g of fertilizer per 2-2.5 Gal (8-10 L) of water and spray. 4. Foliar feeding can be done within 7-8 days after the first root feeding, using boric acid, wood ash infusion, "Kemira" and other micronutrient kits, which are sold in specialized stores. The second foliar spraying of blackcurrant is done in early summer when the berries are growing. The dosage and feeding method are the same.

WATERING BLACKCURRANT In early spring, currants are usually not watered separately. Watering is used for fertilization. The first independent watering of the blackcurrant takes place during prolonged dry weather during the mass flowering stage. The first watering of the blackcurrant takes place at the stage of ovary formation (around the end of May) in case of sufficient winter water reserves. The second watering of the blackcurrant is already in summer. It is carried out at the stage of growth (ripening) of berries. Currants like to be irrigated with sprinkling water. They are best done before or after flowering. During the flowering period or if there are no sprinklers, watering can be done with a hose. 1. In a furrow between rows. 2. Under the bushes, there is a roller for holding water. 3. Into the ditch made around the bush and in other ways. It is important to water the blackcurrant when the soil is well soaked in a 15-24inch (40-60cm) layer of soil. Loosening the soil and spreading the mulch To retain water longer after absorption, loosen and mulch the soil under the blackcurrant bushes. You can use mulch under the bushes. 1. Mature compost. 2. Humus. 3. Neutral peat. 4. Decayed sawdust or shavings, mowed lawn grass, or mowed cobwebs. The application of mulch retains moisture and acts as an additional organic fertilizer, and helps improve the physical properties of the soil. Berry beds should be kept clean. The timely elimination of weeds and loosening of the soil will increase the access of air to the plant roots and improve the microclimate of the root-bearing layer. Completion of the spring project will lay the foundation for the formation of high-yielding blackcurrant and high-quality berries.

Dear readers The specifications and combinations of blackcurrant root and foliar fertilization, as well as chemical and biological agents for pest and disease control, presented in the article, are not dogma. There is no doubt that many gardeners and horticulturists have used their time-tested berry management methods for many years. Please share your experiences with us in the comments.

From the Fish Box

"Last week’s clearing work on ‘family’ was exceptionally deep and powerful. The group felt like familiar souls coming together in a spirit of oneness to work on  deep wounds of family and ancestral patterns.  I’ve come to trust the content of the group’s introspective and insightful requests. It takes the pressure off covering all my bases for my own requests. It’s now a week later. I can feel the healing still in process and have a feeling this will continue, possibly until all these lifelong and past-life wounds are intrinsically healed. Immeasurable appreciation, gratitude, and love to Jimmy and team, and all of us participating in these monthly Wednesday healings." - Diane Linn
