I've been playing Starfield properly for a week now, and some thoughts:

I think the most important thing to say is: I am having fun. I am enjoying playing this game.

But i do worry about the games... legs so to speak. I played Fallout 4 for like... a whole year. By the time i felt like i was running out of base game, the first expansions were dropping.

Starfield is... a different beast. It doesnt have one big, large, handcrafted map. Its got a lot of procedurally generated maps, with random bits and pieces. And so there isn't much exploring. And its the exploring i kinda like with Bethesda? The only other games i've played that have made an open world feel so alive are.... BOTW/ TOTK. Like, open world is a dime a dozen these days, but most of them are empty Ubisoft-likes (what i call "checklist open worlds").

But Starfield, by virtue of being a space exploration game, cant quite have that handcrafted touch I know and love from Bethesda. Like, theres only a handful of ways to do a space exploration game and thats: - you limit the exploration to a handful of locations, each with a handcrafted map. But you lose the feeling of the vastness of a galaxy (This is what ME: Andromeda and The Outer Worlds did) - You lose the open world maps, and go with more focused areas. You get a chance to show more planets, but you lose the exploration feeling. (.... This is what the first ME Trilogy did, and theyre not exactly exploration games) - You procedurally generate as much content as possible, and only add handcrafted touches when theres a specific quest. You get the vastness of the galaxy, but it loses many places of actual interest. This is what Starfield has done.

And so... one atmosphere-less planet is kinda the same as another? The colours may change, but largely youre only there because you have a quest there, or you need a specific resource that that planet has in abundance. The places of interest just arent that interesting. And most of them are atmosphere-less planets (Because... thats most planets we've discovered after all)

The game also does take a whiillle to start to open up. I've got over 24 hours of playtime clocked up (though i imagine a good 3-4 hours are just idling on menus as i do things like... cook) and i've largely just travelled between Alpha Centuri and Sol.... I've just made the trip to Akila, i've spent all of 5 minutes in Hope Town, and I have no idea where Neon even is. Theres nothing really between those places, its just fast travelling everywhere. And i'm usually a fast travel abuser, but sometimes the best moments in a Bethesda game are when you slow down and take the scenic route, yaknow? Locations needing fast travelling between them kinda ruins that a bit. And theres generally not 2 settlements on the same planet, despite that probably making a lot of sense (if Jamison is good for human habitation, why is New Atlantis the only settlement we can visit?), so theres not exactly any real random encounters on the ground maps.

My hope that the roleplaying in this game was better than FO4 because they ditched the voice protagonist was in vain. Theres kinda 2 options to continue most conversations, and anything below the first 2 (maybe 3) options are Questions to learn more - but not to move the conversation to the next part of the tree. I havent seen a huge number of skill related dialogue options, except like... medicine? Thats the one ive seen pop up the most.

Performance wise, i've largely not had any issues. Couple of crashes, but thats par for the course with Bethesda. .... But i noticed some obvious frame rate dips in Akila. Like, something in that location the xbox just did not like. But nowhere else. I also paid for a month of game pass ultimate so i could swap between my pc and xbox and see what i liked. ... I havent even tried to play on pc, because i'm happy enough on xbox. That, and the pc keybindings are... uuhh a problem. The game has so many different controls going on that i cant move WASD to any other controls without breaking some other system. Arrow keys are vital somewhere else. IJKL is vital somewhere else.... I'm not playing with WASD, because thats uncomfortable (i'm using the wrong hand for it!). And theres no point in playing on a controller on my pc, lol. I may as well play on the comfy sofa if i want to play with a controller. Will probably mess with my ability to play many mods, but honestly... i'm still uncertain about how much i'll care about the game by the time people start making some real good mods.

IDK man. I'm having fun, i'm enjoying the game. But it probably is a 7/10 game, yaknow? Theres a lot of things holding it back, but those things are also fairly central to the actual vision Bethesda had. Jurys still out on how much blorbo thoughts i can get out of this, mostly because I still dont quite know enough about the world to get a backstory going on. And thats going to be the thing that really makes everything else click. But even then, I could get an okay enough backstory out of The Outer Worlds and that never clicked, because the game just didnt have enough content for me to Really Care.

demon’s souls is great.

dark souls 1 is taking demon’s souls’ engine and putting one huge level into it, and adding a bunch of horrible creatures, hidden subquests, and berserk references into it.

dark souls 2 is taking demon’s souls’ CONCEPTS AND GAMEPLAY into an interconnected world, and jamming it full of UI QOL changes, levels, bosses, and content.

dark souls 3 is mashing bloodborne and demon’s souls into one cohesive marketable product as a send off to the series.

dark souls 1 is the worst game in the series based solely on the gameplay itself being absolutely horrible. janky, clunky, broken, AND THATS THE FUCKING REMASTER. the art design is impeccable, the lore is deep, the music is incredible, and on the surface dark souls looks great. but half the bosses suck, half the levels suck, half the weapons suck, and when you actually have the controller in your hands you’ll understand. and I don’t mean “oh it’s too hard” because that’s bullshit, dark souls isn’t hard, it’s just not fucking skyrim or dynasty warriors; it’s devil may cry or bayonetta. but slow. ITS JUST CHARACTER ACTION WITH RPG ELEMENTS. and if you struggled with it, it is a personal failure of your own skill. git gud. read the fucking item descriptions. look at the goddamn environment. it’s literally just zork except you can see. it’s purposefully manufactured to be as obtuse as is humanly possible. it might as well be another kings field installment with how much trolly bullshit replaces good conventional game design. it’s the beef jerky of games: you may like the taste but NOBODY LIKES CHEWING IT. anyone who says that dark souls is their favorite video game of all time is either lying, or they have literally over 2000 hours in it like lobosjr. maybe even 3000 by now.

dark souls 2 came along and said, let’s do that but even cooler. it’s gonna be awesome. the greatest thing ever made! oh no sony promised miyazaki a big fat stack to make bloodborne exclusively for them and he said yeah okay! so shibuya worked on it instead and it was going to be the coolest shit ever but then bamco nandai fired his ass and replaced him with tanimura, said “redo literally everything, bitch”, kicked him in the shins, and slashed his time and budget in half. or at least they might as well have. so he frantically cobbled and stitched together a horrible frankenstein mess into an actual working game. and it released and people loved it! well maybe not the diehard dark souls 1 fans who haven’t even smelled the first game (which is demon’s souls). but everyone else did. and then namco said good job now make more shit. so while they were contracted to make those four DLCs that turned out to be three in the end, they also fixed the main game and added shit that had to be cut for time and handcrafted it into a much more evolved version of what it used to be. then when the DLCs were all out they made their corporate overlords happy and proposed a standalone expansion pack type of release where they charge more money for half new content and half the same content, and so scholar of the first sin was born. and scholar is genuinely actually one of the best games I’ve ever played. it’s the resident evil 4 of RPG character action hybrids: divisive. loved by a significant portion of the general audience, but DESPISED by a vocal minority.

and then dark souls 3 exists, exacerbating every single legitimate (and illegitimate) criticism of 2, being one of two things: an immaculately crafted PVP experience, or a stupid linear slog through ganks, broken enemies with bad hitboxes and animations, a smattering of bosses who either absolutely suck ass or are easily exploitable, unnecessary and nonsensical fanservice up the ass, horrible level design, a pointlessly droll story, weak lore that says fuck you to the player, and the lamest cheap deaths I’ve seen since cat mario. oh and walking estus. it’s the only good thing they changed imo. it’s just not a very good gaming experience. it’s the opposite of dark souls 1: instead of shitty gameplay and good everything else, it’s good gameplay and shitty everything else.

now my path through these games was demon’s souls, then dark souls 1, then scholar of the first sin, then dark souls 3. just as it was for so many others. but here’s the thing. I blasted through boletaria and loved it. I never killed the tutorial asylum demon. I platinumed the 2nd game. and by the end of 3 I was so fed the fuck up with it I didn’t even bother walking into the dlc boss fog gate for either dlc. I never fought midir, the nameless king, freide, or gael. what’s even the point? they all have so much health and so many moves that it would take hours upon hours to learn their movesets, and for what? a gold star that says “congration you done it”? no thanks because I’d rather play literally anything else. fucking 60 fps was the death of character action.

and I gotta say dark souls 2 is the most like demon’s souls. and I can easily say it’s the best in the series. hands fucking down. and anyone who disagrees with me is only doing it for the bandwagon. those people delude themselves into thinking that 2 is simultaneously EZPZ and also too hard. you sprinted past mook enemies in 1 because they were all slow as hell, so you think you can just sprint pass mook enemies in 2 and get a free path to the boss handed to you on a silver platter, but they’re like nah son you fight us, they die from being swarmed by a dozen enemies that they could very easily have fought one at a time (these people never played a mmo clearly), then they scream THIS GAME SUCKS.

it’s just annoying

Why Machine Embroidery Is In Demand Than Hand Embroidery

Uniform Design On Each Garment:

Let us address the elephant in the room. When you opt for bulk order, artists that handcraft embroidery cannot achieve uniformity in design. A handcrafted piece has very less chances of turning out to be exactly what is demanded in bulk orders. While this is the beauty of handcrafted goodies, it works no wonders for anyone who wants to have uniform designs on each garment. With Machine Embroidery an agency can have uniformity in the design they give us to make.

Error-Free Designs:

Picking up from the previous point, while apparel has a handmade design, there are higher chances that the apparel will have errors such as tread coming off or a mismatched color. No matter how skilled the artist is, there is room for minor errors. When one seeks perfection, there is no room for such errors. In the Embroidery Digitizing Service that we offer, we feed the machine with the design our customers give us. The machine has high-quality professional software that reads the image. Using the advanced algorithms, they generate error-free outputs. Therefore, there will not be any mismatch in colors or any thread ripping off from the designs.

Less Time Consuming:

The service we provide is entirely Digitized designs, Since all the designs are machine-made, the time required for making one piece is very little. Therefore, it is possible to deliver bulk orders in less time with accuracy in each design.

Pocket Friendly:

An artist charges for his efforts, time, and skills. Undoubtedly, a handcrafted garment requires more effort, time, and skills therefore the rates for getting a design are far more than what one would need to pay for a digitized design. When you opt for Machine Embroidery, it is cost-friendly for you. Moreover, if the order is in bulk, one can negotiate on the pricing of service.

Higher Rate Of Productivity And Accuracy:

The complexity of design does not stand as a hurdle when it comes to Machine Embroidery Digitizing The embroidery digitizer is an expert that understands the type of fabric and what design would suit best for it. Curtailing it all, the service gives one a higher rate of productivity and accuracy with best-in-class quality.

Unlimited Choice Of Designs:

The limitations of hand embroidery restrict the artist to some specific types of designs. It requires skills for the design to output as perfect. Hence, the artist demands a proportional amount of time and fees, which is comparatively more. An Embroidery Digitizing Service offers you a huge range of options from colors to designs and any alterations (if needed) to choose from in which you can have your designs embroidered.

Machine embroidery is an easy process:

The process of hand embroidery is a tough and time taking one. The artist initially traces the design on the fabric by hand. Then he uses carbon paper to trace the same design on the number of garments that the order contains. There are chances that there may be variations in the design when it is being traced on different pieces of garments since there are more chances of human error. If the design is needed in the future, the same hectic process is repeated.

However, when it comes to machine embroidery, a skilled digitizer digitizes the design by the means of sophisticated embroidery digitizing software. Since a machine is used for this process, there are almost no chances of variations. The design can also be saved in a digitized format and can be used on an unlimited number of garments.

Affordable For a Single Garment:

Often in this business, a myth thrives in the market that the service only stands available for bulk orders. While it is affordable for both parties, even if the order is in bulk or it is a single garment, it is affordable as compared to that of a handcrafted design.

No Restrictions Due To The Unavailability Of A Skilled Artist:

When you opt for handcrafted embroidery, there may occur some instances where you might not find an artist with the level of skills you need for your design. On the other hand, you may have an artist but since he or she knows that they are the only one available to provide you with the art and hence they increase their prices. When you opt for Machine Embroidery, you are free from this binding. The embroidery digitizer uses his/her skills to understand the colors, patterns and knows all that he/she needs. Since the machine has professional software, it can embroider your pattern without any limitations.

Open To Instant Changes:

Machine Embroidery is a great example of how digitizing any type of work is beneficial for us. Your design is a click away from your service provider. Therefore, it becomes easy for you to communicate the changes you need even at the very last moment. You can increase the size, type, color and many other attributes of your designs and the service provider will open for those changes. This point is one of the greatest drawbacks customers face when they choose handmade embroidery over machine embroidery.

Above all the Benefits of Machine Embroidery get help to bulk orders, thats why more demanding now. its an easy, cost-effective, and productive way to have embroidery done on your piece of cloth. Moreover, there are only a few minor risks associated with it. Choosing to outsource it to firms like us removes the hassle of production at the business owner’s end. We at Cre8iveSkill provide you with optimum embroidery work at reasonable and affordable prices. Our team of experts helps you customize your designs to USmake the best of them.

Bladebreakers: College Edition

anyone who’s already read my fics knows exactly what i’m about, so lets get straight to business about the college headcanons im about to slap yall with

also all under the cut bc this went way too long lmfao Hilary and Kenny should follow shortly bc it got really long and im just. oops

Kai is the first to go which is like. logical considering he’s the oldest and most driven out of all of them

not to mention he had the entirety of Hiwatari Corp. about to be put into his name as soon as he reached 18 and he’s just like aw man here we go

to be honest? he’s not keen on taking over the company, never has been (excluding the time where he felt obligated to under his grandfather’s influence) and the thought of actually having too just kinda. embitters him

so he gets himself sucked into the whole Business classes to get himself the necessary qualifications – and despite being bitter, he doesn’t half-ass shit so he studies on the regular

it isn't until Max wrangles him into finally giving his own interests a go and he changes his path to a History Major with a Minor in Business

he is so much happier

History, specifically Ancient History, had always been an avid interest in Kai’s books so he basically dives into his new studies with his own brand of stoic enthusiasm

its also the sole reason why he’s been amassing so many books in his personal collection at home, Hilary had implored him to buy bigger shelves after Max nearly broke his neck tripping over a loose pile

Kai likes to study alone, preferably in his private study (Tyson keeps making fun of him for having a private study at the age of 18, what are you, a grandpa? damn rich kid lmao) with soft instrumental music playing – he’s especially fond of rainy ambience music

of course, Kai is often seated at the back of the classes, but is indisputably one of the best students with very insightful and well-researched essays, naturally, most of his professors adore him

except a select few traditional-minded professors – they’re still bitter that Kai stood his ground when they had overlooked Cleopatra’s history and reduced her to the Ancient Sex Symbol and Kai was ready to cut a bitch at the blatant disrespect towards an Ancient Political Mastermind

the majority in his class has a fat crush on him but thats nothing new

Max, for a long time, had a bit of a dilemma as his parents urge him to start choosing his preferred path; was it going to be Engineering like his Mother or Mechanics like his Father, and honestly? the poor boy was so torn

in the end, he confessed he wanted to do neither – he loved Beyblade but it wasn’t something he wanted to dedicate his life to forever

instead, his heart had always belonged to the ocean and he dreams of being a Marine Biologist

his father was very supportive, while Judy had her doubts so it took a little convincing – in the end, her son’s joy was more important to her and she too gave her blessing for him to pursue his dream

Max goes on to major Zoology, directed towards marine animals, and takes up a minor in Engineering because hey, it pretty much runs in his family and it stayed an avid interest of his

his university wasn’t too far of from Kai’s own, so sometimes when he stays over at Kai’s he gets a free ride to class

he returns the gesture by always providing the best butter croissants for breakfast (they’re still warm too!)

Max usually studies in the campus library, noise-cancelling headphones on, bopping silently to whatever music he’s listening to as he reviews his notes for the next exam

he researches a lot for his topics and has collected so much trivia about the ocean and its inhabitants in general

Max: did you know jellyfishes have no brain? Kai: Max don’t bully Tyson Tyson: excuse me?

the professors love Max tbh, he’s always fully engaged within class so they usually let him get away with things mainly bc he’s just their Favourite

pretty sure half of the university knows of Max in some way or another, being a social butterfly and all and maybe having flooded the campus once by accident

Ray also had a hard time deciding what to do and what to study; being from a rural village with traditions certainly made him question wether he should pursue a modern career or stay within his community

the White Tigers were quick to kick his ass over it however, booting him straight to Kai’s doorstep and telling him to do what he feels was right for him

now, he’s managed to get himself applied to one of the prestigious university for culinary arts – he’s not too sure yet which path he wants to take in terms of culinary skill

he loves cooking and working in a kitchen, however after many work experiences he has found that working at the command of someone else wasn't exactly to his tastes, not to mention, he’d like to dabble in more traditional culinary arts

as of now, Ray particularly enjoys the sweeter side of cooking, preferring to create intricate pastries and confectionaries, often stemming from his chinese roots but also applying his skill within the japanese side of things

his homemade mooncakes are honestly to die for

next to his obvious passion for cooking, he’s also taken up classes in horticulture, mainly bc he’d love to grow his own ingredients and create his own sets of spices and various artisan products

since his career path is very labour focused, he often practices at home and takes inspiration from various chefs all around the world. his bookshelves are full of recipe books and general insightful cookbooks

Max had suggested to him to make videos of his dishes, mainly for self-improvement, but also being able to put them online to start a crowd interest for his work

its going pretty well actually, his videos have become quite popular since they are aesthetically pleasing, the food looks tasty as hell and also a wide crowd of older people have voiced their joy in seeing more traditional confectionary being made

his friends secretly love their birthdays nowadays bc without fail, Ray always gifts them homemade foods, from neat boxes of handcrafted chocolates to cute jars of sweet jams

he knows, he always takes time to create flavours he knows they will appreciate

Tyson, surprisingly, knew exactly what he wanted to do, and it wasn’t anything to do with Beyblade

Hilary: WHAT ARE YOU SICK Tyson: i- no? i just– Ray: hold on maybe he’s running a fever Tyson: would yOU GUYS JUST LISTEN–

look, he loves Beyblade, it’s something he’ll treasure all his life, something he’ll still pursue in the future, but

it won’t be what he wants to do full time

instead, he majors in Anthropology in order to pave his way into Archeology and everyone is so proud they start crying

next to his Major, he also minors in Business, mainly due to his longstanding position within the BBA, with whom he stays as a particular poster boy and star

next to his work with the BBA, he occasionally helps out in the Dojo and everyone kinda realises? that this guy is literally holding down two (2) whole jobs while also studying and if that isn't hardcore my dudes i don’t know

then again, he’s grown a lot and his interest in his father’s career had always accompanied him since he was a kid – however, his studying habits are still all kinds of atrocious and the only reason why he can even halfway ace his exams is bc he refuses to go down quietly, actually is really critical and analytical is he puts his head into it, and the fact that he employs Hilary to stand vigil with a rolled up magazine to smack him back into focus should he slack off

otherwise, he’s friends with most people in his class and regularly exchanges notes with them and even has become a favourite with a select few of his professors

most just find him exhausting but can’t refute his elaborate essays, which are both thoughtful as eyebrow raising

he attends the same university as Kai (much to his chagrin) and they stick together just as much as they bicker (one-sidedly) just like old times – however, they are both ancient history buffs and its one of the very few topics that they can be heard talking about in actual peace without Tyson going apeshit when Kai loses interest in the conversation

Tyson and Kai are also those college students who pull ridiculous all nighters to study

Max once got so nervous for an exam he made a terrifying concoction of Red Bull and Instant Coffee to stay up and study

he aced the exam but he cannot for the life of him remember what he did in those 24hours bc as soon as he went home he crashed for nearly 32hours straight

Tyson and Ray who were present at the time refuse to speak about it and when asked about it, they kinda just. disassociate for a minute at the sheer horror they had witnessed

Kai rarely ever communicates with classmates yet somehow gets always invited to all the frat parties

who are those people? he doesn’t know

#beyblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #beyblade headcanon #engineering some headcanons #bladebreakers #i low-key love those college aus only bc the amount of shenanigans they could get into #actually i should make a more extensive list about their shenanigans #bc this was literally halfway a meta about my own deductions of the characters #HM.

I fucking hate this country! And i want to get the fuck out. via /r/Anarchism

I fucking hate this country! And i want to get the fuck out.

Too much to talk about, but a lot of it comes down to the highly ignorant and self destructive masses which loves giving power roles to specific people, the criminal government which turned out to be as destructive and nasty as Nazi Germany, and i'm sorry but i'm starting to get tired of the massive abundance of right wing talking points and politics in this country, it's too fucking disgusting for me, or the fact that WE ARE RIPPING THE PLANET APART TO MAINTAIN A NEVER ENDING GROWING PROFIT MARGIN! These motherfuckers could have 100 trillion billion AND THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM'S RESOURCES and they still wouldn't be satisfied and give us the bare minimum of existence.

This is not what i wanted to say i'm just on overload. I honestly want to make a custom camper van with a gaming rig inside, and just drive off to never be seen again, to never be bothered again by these worthless powerless and stupid peasants who are a major disappointment to our gifted and capable minds. I thought Donald Trump calling Joe Biden a communist wouldn't land and now not only have i ended up in random arguments with right wingers claiming he is a fucking communist, but also the leader of the entire country called him something completely false, or even socialist.

At this point why even bother? Why the hell am i forced to live with stupid people who would rather use the internet to hurt others instead of using it to solve problems. And the fear the right wing has made it possible for our government to spy and steal all of our metadata because they are easy to manipulate with fear especially to the unknown. They are a 1 trick pony. Seeing the leadership on the right and democrats(center right) is disgusting. They are all catering to them because they are weak minded individuals who are easy to corrupt or fool which is why you have people like Joe Biden trying to reach out to them instead of his own base because anything to the left of them undermines them and their power. Leaders being selected by the suicidal ignorant masses to lead me?! Fuck that! I'm fucking done and tired, nothing will change, it's powerless peasant vs powerless peasants right where they want them, and i dont want to play this stupid rigged game anymore im fucking tired, and i'm tired of being abused by not only the government/corporations/healthcare/slumlords(landlords), but i'm also getting tired of the fucking right.

Believe it or not, but i have plenty of far right wing friends who are either closet racist or full blown out racists/white supremacist AND MANY OF THEM ARE AMERICAN. What a way to spit on our predecessors grave or the people who died fighting Nazis so that they can try to assimilate Nazi speech into freedom of speech.

There is no saving this vile world that we are trapped in like a goldfish in an ignorant child's bowl.

My living requirements are simple. A custom camper van with a gaming rig and TV inside, Solar panels, generator, bed, tiny kitchen inside, get a cheap global gym membership to take showers and use the toilet (i'll also use outside). I just don't know though because i need some st_pid ass insurance or whatever. Just simply fucking living requires that i get extorted or assfucked for money. I fucking hate it. And the world force is toxic as hell. I've been working since i graduated from high school until 2018. Been an dunkin donuts/baskin robbins(i worked 2 jobs in 1 for $8/hour and we went from 18 employees down to 5 with no extra pay to compensate us), EMT, CNA, AMAZON FACILITIES(YES IT'S A FUCKING HELLHOLE ESPECIALLY WHEN I WORKED IN A MINORITY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH HALF THE FANS NOT FUCKING WORKING AT ALL!), GAS STATION, MCDONALDS, GROCERY STORE( PEA POD DELIVERY and this job was horrible i'll explain if someone wants me too) AND THEY ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND ABUSE YOU WHILE PAYING YOU WAGES THAT CANT OR BARELY AFFORD A 1 ROOM APARTMENT IN A SHITTY NEIGHBORHOOD!

I'm fucking done, i hate this shit, i hate this world, i cant do this until i'm over fucking 80 working everyday and slaving away to not even have enough fucking money for pandemic, and our tax money being spent on blowing up potatoe farmers or bailing out the rich who crash the economy/world/environment.

I feel like i'm going insane and i can feel my brain palpating. I dont want any part in this shit, and since i dont want to participate i'll eventually end up in the forged concrete jungle which was intentionally made to be as horrible as possible to give people a reason to show up to their shitty jobs and accept all the garbage pay with no benefits while the rich make epic proportions of wealth that the world has never seen before. And if i get cancer from breathing in our bought and owned polluted corporate air I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE HEALTHCARE AND DEAL WITH IT!

I'm done with this shit, all i wanna do is live in the woods or a custom made camper van and not have to deal with this shit. I'd hunt but it's illegal! All the land is fucking bought up too, where the fuck does that leave me or people who weren't born with a gold plated diamond studded spoon with rare emeralds which has been handcrafted by the best professional spoon maker in the fucking universe. And then they take that spoon and dig out your eyeballs and brain so that you cant see or think, our education system is a huge heaping mess of pathetic garbage which is only there to mentally condition students like farm animals.

Thats what humans are doing right now! Turning the base of humans into a farm animal which cannot think for itself and is FED GARBAGE LIKE AN ANIMAL AND LIVES LIKE ONE IN THEIR CAGED HOMES. Being conscious and aware and forced to live in this by a government which has the power to bring prosperity and real good change is a living nightmare and it only makes me see them as worse as the Nazis, i spit on the American flag and wipe my ass with the bible. They talk about Jesus all the damn time day in and out, but then turn out to be the most intolerant and suicidally ignorant people with a death cult that even Noam Chomsky described as the most destructive in the history of mankind. And i do believe right wing ideology is inherently destructive and nasty, and only real fucking idi0ts follow it. The fact that the supposed "democrats" (they are just republican lite) are following in the same path is disgusting and shows YOU HAVE NO CHOICE! They would rather spend 20 years, shooting over 17k bombs in 1 country alone, have its people to die in wars which they cannot explain, and handing over everything including our fundamental life forces to the rich. We are all owned, and the right wing wants it to stay that way against your will. Left wingers have problems too, but they are nowhere as dangerous or concerning as right wing. Maybe censorship(although the right does a ton of that too), but that's pretty much it. I don't wanna live with these fucking death cult rejects who think life is only about working to death for some other man. Having thousands or millions of people working to near death for 1 man to enjoy all the power and fruits of labor and then to use the money you helped generate to lobby and fuck you and your descents over BECAUSE IT'S NEVER ENOUGH, IT'S NEVER FUCKING ENOUGH!

who am i to fall in love, when your love never is for me?

it will be the first time i’ll be scribbling and posting without any alterations, any revisits to the text. so any one of you, my 4 and a half readers, should bear with me for the next 2 minutes or something. i dont intend to keep it long but hey, i dunno anything nowadays.

i have been staring into the distance a lot lately. i just phase out. i mean i do not phase out fully. its more like trying to focus the lens kilometres away. it drains the battery pretty quickly. and the machinery is out of my hands, i do not even handle the focus anymore. but in the process, i cannot focus on work, on my music. i cannot function more than 10 minutes focused on something which will do any good.

i hate the way i feel. it is not a shocking newfound thing for me to hate the way i feel. for instance, i do not trust anyone. long ago i decided to trod this path without any shoulder. no borrowed hiking shoes, no map from anyone, no direction but the wind. but i hated it. i hated it yet i knew that it was the way to be. the best route is the route you know. i know myself enough not to need any outside assistance. so even though i hated this route plan, life did not leave me any other choice but to just headbutt the fuck out of obstacles with my devilish horns.

now i hate the fact that i feel a traction. the gravity of a person. i fucking hate it. i hate the fact that i cant spend a friction of a second without imagining her face; the fact that she takes the role of a mole, which i keep whacking to naught; the fact that i cannot jerk off to standard, disgusting porn, or just cannot blankly relieve myself, so to speak. i hate that she just barged in my brain. its not heart. thats just bullshit. she just impounded the control panel. just like that. barged in and said “now we occupy this tiny space together.” i fucking hate that. i hate her for that.

“the way i learnt to love things is to choke them to death.” maybe this time it will work. cos i really want to choke her to death in my mind. i wanna lobotomise her out of my mind. look at her and feel nothing. if i apply ice cubes on her, will it numb me enough? fucking hell, she’s a force to reckon, possibly she’d melt them in an instant.

lemme tell you about her a bit. she’s around 5′4′’ tall, handcrafted figure, beautiful face, an artist, an architect, only child, happily in a relationship with a guy whose career plan is to become the president. yeah last part is real by the way. these are the superficial, one glance information. what galls me goes beyond these. for instance, how comfortably she can see through me. fucking x-ray vision im talking about. she’s the only person who genuinely made me laugh in about fucking ages, so she’s pretty funny. her kindness stretches out of my vocab; so much so that i feel bad for her. she’s clever and quick on her feet, something i admire pretty much on anyone as a twat with the intelligence of a lettuce.

she is so familiar. i couldve sworn ive met her thousands of times before these two months in which we met for the first time. and the feeling is mutual. it felt like we just picked it up somewhere we left it and forgot. she fits me like frozen pitch fits the thermos flask, right alex? we even entertained the idea of being soulmates, two parts of the apple the god split in two, all that jazz, until we decided that thats just plain stupid. with the comfort of familiarity, she just kept knocking wall after wall, statue after statue, like the fucking godzilla herself. do i believe in something? too bad. that belief better go fucking hide perfectly, she’s coming for you pal.

all in all, she’s special, and this is terrifying.

cos here i am, 5 am, in the dark, sneaking a cheeky beer, mumbling to a blank white pop up page in the middle of my screen, words which will not most possibly be read even by 4 and a half readers i’ve got. but i had to do it. it was either this or singing this at the top of my lungs at the top of a mountain but we are quarantined so...

and there she is. wherever she is. she belongs to someone else. fuck me he knows how valuable he is. guys are generally a bit retarded when it comes to recognising what they possess. but this CUNT knows. fucktard. first appointed president of my arse cheeks. i hate this too. jealousy. so petty.

i will probably never be hers. she will probably never hold my hand, look me in the eyes, give me a peck on the lips and say “im glad you’re here. im glad you endured what you had to endure”. so i should stop myself wanting to be there. come to my senses. get my shit together. prop up the statues back again. mend the walls.

i’d welcome a bullet right about now.

i guess i kept it long. i really dunno anything nowadays. such fuckery...

DiRT Rally 2.0 Review By Sonny Garner

When the review copy of DiRT Rally 2.0 dropped through my door I had mixed feelings, the first game was difficult beyond all belief and I was terrible at it but on the other hand I was excited to get to grips with another Codemasters racer.

After shaking with fear & questioning my decision to review this game for a while, I decided it was time to put my big boy pants on get behind the wheel.

This game requires concentration, lots of concentration and a certain level of skill, it’s not like the regular DiRT Series which is very much a game for the casual racing fan, it’s also very no frills, the menus get straight to the point, no heart pumping licensed soundtrack to get the adrenaline going before a race, it’s more a case of get yourself behind the wheel, take on the course, get the best time and win championships, and to be honest, that’s all this game needs to be great.

The base game comes with fifty cars across both Rally and Rally Cross and six locations to race at, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Spain and the USA, with more to come post launch through DLC. All of the courses within these locations are handcrafted as opposed to the procedural generation method used in DiRT 4. All the locations and tracks look amazing, as do the cars, making this Codemaster’s best looking racing game to date and the attention to detail is really incredible, for example, the further down the grid you start, the worse condition the track will be in, making your drive and life even more difficult than it already is, you can even hear the car struggling to deal with the tough terrain which is a really cool feature.

Now, on to the game play, DiRT Rally 2.0 can be punishing, as I mentioned previously, a lot of concentration is needed. Assists can be applied if like me you are shook of driving off road or in to trees etc etc(especially as Codies famed rewind feature is nowhere to be seen) leading to you finishing dead last on the leader board but for the best experience, 2.0 is best played as it comes. Races take place at different times of the day and you guessed it, each time of day comes with it’s own set of challenges, night time races in particular can be very tricky, mainly due to the fact that you can barely see anything in front you. The driving mechanics are some of the very best I have ever experienced, everything is done to absolute perfection, it feels so good nailing a hairpin turn and then flooring your car to down the straight that follows it only to have to brake sharply to navigate around an unseen left turn, honestly, when you pull these feats off it is incredibly rewarding, I know these sound like standard racing sim manoeuvres but trust me when I tell you that nothing is standard in this game, it is hardcore. As per the norm in rally games, you do have a co-driver barking directions out as you make your way through the course, at first this can be quite off-putting as the directions are coming thick and fast but the more you play the game, the more normal it becomes and it’s something you become reliant upon as it’s such a useful tool to have, especially during the races played a darker time of day.

DiRT Rally 2.0 offers a good amount of content,various championships across both Rally and Rally Cross & the usual online modes including Daily, Weekly and Monthly Challenges, all of this adds to a lot of replay value and with more content planned through DLC, DR 2.0 could be your go to racing game for quite some time.

In conclusion, DiRT Rally 2.0 is a game I thought I was going to hate, mainly due to the incredibly steep difficulty of it’s predecessor, however I’m so happy that I’ve taken the time to get to know how the game works because I now feel that it’s right up there with the greatest racing games ever made. Despite it’s tough learning curve, the racing mechanics are perfect and the more you play the more you will find the game incredibly rewarding, all it requires is a lot of concentration and a bit patience and you’ll be topping those leader boards in no time.

Score - 4/5

Version tested - Xbox One X

Review code provided by publisher

DiRT Rally 2.0 is available from 26/02/2019 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

raffle time yEEt

hey! im doing a raffle! woo!!! free art!!!

if the images aren't loading for you above; a quick and dirty overview is of it all here:

you get art if you join the raffle, and you can join by liking, reblogging, replying to this post or by following this blog from the starting point of this raffle (if you're a follower already, you gotta join by doing one of those actions that isn't following to dictate to me that you're joining).the raffle ends on April 13th 12:00AM UTC ( c̲o̲n̲v̲e̲r̲t̲e̲r̲ ) , good luck! :)

everything laid in specifics and concrete (the Official ™ Code of Conduct, if you will) is below, aswellassomestuffididn'tmakeexplicituphereforconvinienceandlon-gparagraphsofnothingnessmaybesneakinesstoo, and although I would recommend you read it (ill marry you if you do jfc i cant even bring myself to read it), there is no need to, and all instructions above are the bare minimum, yet functional bits of knowledge you need for raffle entry.

H̲e̲r̲e̲ is the google doc of the raffle specifications if you prefer to read it like such, whether because of preference, or readability.

overview (bullshit you can skip, but you need this in clear concrete you know)

well hello there everybody i am here and doing a raffle because i enjoy deat- no actually i have 70 followers now!!!! and, not gonna lie, that is a mad small amount- but hey, celebration plusiamlikeF̲i̲v̲E̲F̲U̲C̲K̲I̲N̲GmonthsO̲V̲E̲R̲D̲U̲E̲butletsnottalk-aboutthat.

this "raffle" is structured in a way in which you enter by interacting with this post (reblogging, liking, or replying) or by following my blog. i was genuinely considering just now as im typing this to add "sharing my blog on other social media also counts" but i realise now that would be TOO blatantly cheap promotion and crossing the line of democracy so we're gonna keep it at likes, reblogs, and follows. Less of a corporate trade; more of a friendly local bingo raffle.

the date that im posting this post is [date] and the raffle will be ended on April 13th 12:00AM UTC (h̲e̲r̲e̲s̲ ̲a̲ ̲c̲o̲n̲v̲e̲r̲t̲e̲r̲) which leaves you like two and a half weeks! I will pick the winners after the raffle has closed, create a post declaring who the winners are, as well as contact them by sending an ask prompting them to tell me what they want me to draw for their prize (ETA: maybe 1-3 days, so sit tight haha).

and what does entering this raffle get you? art; handcrafted by yours truly from behind the screen in the meat prison that contains my , and my sparse will to continue living There will be ten winners and four tiers of prizes that can potentially be won, so yeah! A lot of winning to be done ;P

that being said, the nitty gritty specifics are down there,,,, if you want to read them,,,, and want to know what you can be excluded for,,,,, etc,,,, everything important/rules that you, the raffle, need (or will want to know to an extent; i think) to know will be bolded for convenience's sake, although I do say that there is greater benefit to reading the entire thing.

rules

what baseline requirements do you need to posses before you participate? nothing really to be honest. like i would prefer if you were a pleasant person but i dunno; im offering a good and if someone i dont like requests the good and i refuse- will that prevent them from ever obtaining that good or will that promote illegal methods to attain said good? who knows, i dont care, also, free market, laissez faire bitches. but i will say that if you manage to be any of the following below, your behavior will promptly be denounced, with the penalty of losing your prize and/or opportunity to participate; and in the case you have a prize, it will be passed to a runner up. so ears up, you qualify for eviction if you are:

hostile, not in a passive aggressive sense- you can be passive aggressive- but if you're flat out saying (something like) "you're a fucking asshole", directing profanity and objectively violent ("go die") diction with v i o l e n t i n t e n t and without indication of joking towards me

doing something illegal

a fucking porn bot?

not following the later mentioned rules yet still expect to qualify; insisting so and getting mad about it.

in regards to me, or this raffle through any platform. However, pay mind that although these are guidelines, I will have the final verdict in the position of your place in this raffle.

entry

so how doing an enter my guy my dude?

as aforementioned, there are four methods to entering this accursed raffle on tumblr dot com(liking, reblogging, replying, and following). You can enter multiple times, as indicated by the multiple methods to enter, resulting in multiple "entries". The amount of entries you perform are compiled into your one large set of entries; a "bank of entries", if you will (each "entry" counting,,, well, as one entry,,,, like one entry counts as one entry unit) so if you enter once by liking, enter another time by reblogging, thats two entries, and other rafflers' total entries will contest with yours for a prize. eg: person a has three entries (one from like, two from reblogging), person b has one entry (from liking), the winner of the raffle is determined, likewise, as one winner of an entry out of the total four entries. The methodology for determining a winner is being worked upon, but it is certain that all your entries will be counted collectively. Now, of course we still have to have conditions for entry just to be C R Y S T A L C L E A R so; conditions (of which are condemnable by penalty):

please. no spam accounts. no alt accounts. one account per person/one bed/total bank of entries per person i would r e a l l y, r e a l l y like a genuine run (ironic, considering the amazing skewed-ness of this entire raffle but)

if you want to interact with this post, but not enter, reply "no entry"

late entries don't count for shit; even if i haven't picked the winners yet (i know, this is a given, but,,,,,, you gotta be clear,,, amirite,,,,,)

The specifications by entry through the multiple methods are specified below, all subject to the conditions above c: . All of these actions below are done in relation to my blog and this post (for the most part,,,?*), and if you perform any excess actions that are not defined below (besides,,, well, defacing it)/suck up more, it is welcome and will earn you extra brownie points! but not extra entries :p.

l̲i̲k̲i̲n̲g̲*̲

seeing as you can only like once, well. a likes based raffle is literally the closest thing to a genuinely democratic raffle. but,,,,,, no democracy here

worth: one like on this post is equivalent to one entry; eg:.... one like,,,, = is one entry

r̲e̲p̲l̲y̲i̲n̲g̲

although you can reply more than once, I have decided to limit the boundary for replies to be up to two.

worth: one-two replies (addressed here as just a "reply", with any number of characters, within the rules, and that isn't "no entry", will account as one entry. however, your reply will account for more if you include some thought into it. meaning, if you write me a (A P R E F F E R A B L Y S H O R T, within the boundaries of the two replies) cute poem,or just a particularly striking poem, both are good, or, perhaps, a fun fact ™ , then I'll consider it to account for two entries. eg: one reply (within the rules)= one entry; one reply going something like: "did you know that armadillos aren't actually real?" = two entries;

r̲e̲b̲l̲o̲g̲g̲i̲n̲g̲*̲

well! you can reblog more than once, and reblogging has it own implications, reblogging legislation generation gets fun. everyday we stray further from gods light and into the blinding plight of capitalism

worth: a reblog is equivalent to one entry - but wait, there's more, if you reblog more (up until three entries), you'll get more entries per reblog. Now, there are two ways to go about this as well, both reliant on time frame.

reblog multiple times within the span of less than three days. meaning if your specified reblog occurs less than three days after your preceding post. if this is the case, the third reblog out of the number of reblogs will account for two entries. eg: first reblog; one entry; second reblog; one entry; third reblog; two entries, meaning four entries in total.

reblog it multiple times within the span of more than three days, meaning if your specified reblog occurs more than three days after your preceding post. if this is the case, what will happen is the specified reblogs following the initial reblog will be worth the previous entry +1, again, limited to three. eg: {first reblog: one entry; second reblog; (r(n-1) + 1) two entries; third reblog (r(n-1) + 1) three additional entries.

f̲o̲l̲l̲o̲w̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲&̲ ̲e̲t̲c̲

now we're back to less fun methods (aww) of entry, seeing as they can only be performed once; but there are still conditions guys we're not done yet

worth: those who follow (and are not following currently) will attain one entry, but preexisting followers will receive more entries worth upon any other indication of joining the raffle eg: 1 follow (while not already following) = 1 entry; existing follower & joins raffle by liking, replying, or reblogging post = 3 (from being a preexisting follower) + n (from alternate entry method).

footnote*: I was considering offering entries for if you like like /reblog all of my posts, but that is,,,, so extra,,,, but if you're reading this and you do,,, m a y b e I’ll give you an extra two entries for one set of reblogs/one set of likes of all my posts(meaning if you do both you'll get four additional entries appended but that's so silly i don't think anyone will do it :p)

prizes

well here is what yall probably wanted to hear, well done if you've made it this far, if you're still here. i dont think i could have made it this far, go get a drink, pat on the back or something jesus. if you are indeed a prize winner, by the by, it is crucial to read e v e r y t h i n g b o l d e d t e x t b e l o w. it is necessary. (or somehow sty within the boundaries of the rules without reading them) if not and you're just skimming, by all mean, go ahead.

If you indeed are a winner, you will fit into one of the tiers of winners that are outlines below. There will be ten winners, and four tiers of winners. The prize that's specified in a tier is actually completely irrelevant to what prize you get, but if you didn't read this or don't know this, the specified prize in the tier descriptions will be the default prize given to you.

When the prize winners are declared, I will announce this in an announcement post, tagging said winners and I will send them an ask in their inbox prompting them to tell me what you want as your prize as a notification of winning. If a winner does not have their ask box open, I expect it to be their responsibility, as prompted by the tagging notification in the announcement post, to either contact me alternatively through private message (tumblr message), a reply on the announcement post, or sending an ask to my blog. After a prize winner has received a notification, I expect them to describe what they want pieces(s) for their prize in a prompt via a) a reply to my ask notification b) a reply comment on the announcement post c) a private message d) an ask e) appending information on to a reblog of the announcement post. References are encouraged, and specifications of how to prompt for your piece(s) are elaborated upon below. I may either send you an ask saying: "recieved" after you do so to indicate that I know what you want for your prize/or create a "people who have contacted me and are waiting on their art" post and tag those who I've received a prompt from.

Now, you will not be able to claim your prize if you do not abide to the following:

you have to contact me with an prompt within one week. If not, I will notify you that I will merely hand off your prize to a runner up (if you are a runner up, all these rules apply to you as well, though this might result in some funny situation wherein no one responds for weeks and like an entire two months later ill message some rando asking if they want to receive a prize for a raffle they didnt even remember winning but like,,, that is humorous enough to follow through on so i will) and, likewise, hand your prize off to a runner up

your prize prompt must abide to the conditions entailed below regarding what tier prize you received

what you request cannot be nsfw. i will not draw it.

you don't get one of these prizes if you're not a winner, again, obvious, but you have to make it explicit,,, somewhere,,,,, right

e v e r y p r o m p t f o r a p r i z e i s w o r d p r o m p t e d/reference prompted. Now because human communication is weird I won't try to regulate this as much, but your prompt must be limited to 350 words (a link to a reference counting as one word), and if it is longer, I will merely ignore the excess, and I will not contact you about what has been disregarded from your prompt. you should probably know. Do note- however, that what prompt you send me is subject to my interpretation. If you send me three references and say "draw this character like how they are in this other reference" you just gotta hope i can understand it like you do, and if it really does not look like what you expected; forgive me, but I'm not going to draw your prompt again. If you decide to have multiple pieces, specify so accordingly (there are separate prompts for separate pieces so you get 350 words to describe each piece) & abide to the specifications laid down by the tiers, a hard proof is good, but I will check and see if what piece(s) you want to redeem out of your prize corresponds with the limitations of the prize tiers-. Prompting specifications aside, there are four tiers of prizes for winners; each with their own level and value of worth and they are elaborated upon further below.

So, the tier of the prize is what determines the magnitude of value the prize has, meaning this value can in turn affect the elaboration the art will have, as well as the complexity of the subject illustrated in the prize*. The default piece of art you can retrieve for the according prize value are in itself worth the amount of value the tier has; with each tier maintaining a value that is higher than the preceding by an equivalent amount of difference (just think of it this way: tier one is worth four points; tier two is worth three points; tier three, two; tier four, one). This implies that the default type of art specified in each tier is worth such amount of value. (eg: the default type of art in tier one is a shaded subject with a background" , and tier one is worth four "points" in value, meaning that "shaded subject with a background" has four "points" of value). Conclusively, because the prize is really receiving a prize in value, (art currency, haha), the actual "prize" you will redeem (neglecting the default piece if you don't specify) will be the piece(s) you specify; which are worth the value of the prize in the tier you attained, art in the form of the worth and value of the tier of prize you redeemed. Pay mind, that you cannot specify and amount of pieces that add up to over the tier level, but you can specify under

t̲i̲e̲r̲ ̲o̲n̲e̲

worth: shaded subject with a background, eg:

subsequently, this tier is also worth one and a third ( honestly i don't know how I would go about doing that and I'm just going to hope no one asks for this,,, because it's near atrocious. I think you would just round up though, so two, really ) "fully shaded subjects", two "flat color subjects" and four sketches.

This tier only has one winner.

t̲i̲e̲r̲ ̲t̲w̲o̲

worth: fully shaded subject, eg:

subsequently, this tier is also worth one and a half "fully shaded subjects" (round up, round up so it's actually two flat color), and three sketches.

This tier has two winners.

t̲i̲e̲r̲ ̲t̲h̲r̲e̲e̲

worth: flat color subject, eg:

subsequently, this tier is also worth two "sketches"

This tier has three winners.

t̲i̲e̲r̲ ̲f̲o̲u̲r̲

worth: a sketch eg:

meaning, one sketched subject with perhaps a midground and/or background, as a sketched background/sketched mid-ground is, figuratively speaking, a l m o s t n o t h i n g, like below.

simple patterns can also qualify as background &/or textures, as long as you provide said textures (with like a link to an image or something);

simple patterns^

a texture^

This tier has four winners.

footnote*; I was debating on actually writing out these specifications; but this is subject to my interpretation (completely) for the time being, sorry haha. you'll see a clear cut implementation of this concept in my commision sheet in the near-distant future :p, but for the time being this is subject to my interpretation

footnote: **however if you kind of want a sketch background to be paired with any above tiers, go ahead.

#modspeaks #raffle #my eyes are burning #this is ridiculously long #im laughing and crying no one is going to read trhe whole thing but thats okay #just wait until the raffle system #tbt

Starbucks Coming Out on Top in China, Says CEO

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson isn’t worried about competitors in the fast-growing coffee market in China. He says that competition is actually broadening the addressable market by introducing tea drinking Chinese to coffee. Starbucks has nearly 3,700 stores in China already and is generating double-digit transaction growth. For Starbucks, their growth in China and around the world continues to be driven by providing a unique customer experience that is like no other in their industry.

Kevin Johnson, CEO of Starbucks, talked about how their unique customer experience is driving massive growth in China in an interview on CNBC:

We Are Playing the Long Game in China

The number one metric that we look at in China is total transaction growth. Those total transactions come from a combination of new stores that we build as well as same-store comps. We increased the number of stores in China by 18 percent this quarter and so if you put all of that together we had double-digit transaction growth in China. China is a market that is all about first mover advantage. It’s about building new stores and expanding our presence.

In fact, we’re now approaching 3,700 stores in China. We entered ten new cities last quarter and we’re now in 158 cities in China. The addressable market and the growth opportunity in China is significant. So the priority we have is really expanding our footprint while we continue to enhance the experience in our stores, drive beverage innovation, and enable new channels for customers to engage with Starbucks, as we are with Starbucks Delivers. We are playing the long game in China.

Starbucks Coming Out on Top in China

Whenever you have a large addressable market around coffee in China you’re going to have a lot of competitors come in. Some of those competitors are going to try and differentiate in different ways. They’re going to have to use price and be highly promotional in what they do. For Starbucks, we differentiate on the in-store experience. We differentiate on the quality of our coffee and we differentiate on the digital reach that we have through our partnership with Alibaba.

The one thing that the competition is certainly doing in China is expanding the addressable market for coffee. It’s introducing the Chinese consumer, who is primarily a tea drinking culture, to coffee. That’s helpful for the growth in the addressable market for Starbucks. We’re confident we’re going to play our game. We know how to create the kind of experience and leverage the brand strength that we have in China to create that unique differentiated opportunity for us to engage in customers. So I think if you look at the overall landscape of who is growing the most share of transactions and engagement with the customer, I think Starbucks comes out on top.

When you look at a competitor in China like Luckin and they talk about the number of units that they’re growing, I think sometimes a unit would look perhaps like a Starbucks store, but most of the times they look like a point of presence. That said, we have a lot of points of presence. We’re at 3,700 stores. We’ve also got our global coffee alliance with Nestle coming in with food services and CPG.

Extending In-Store Experience With a Digital Mobile Relationship

The reason you want to come to Starbucks is because we create that unique customer experience. We serve the world’s finest Arabica coffee. Our partners will handcraft that beverage to your perfection. We create an experience like no other in the industry. We’re going to continue to stay true to the experience we create in our stores and how we extend that experience with a digital mobile relationship.

The China Digital partnership with Alibaba is making great progress. We now have the virtual Starbucks store integrated into the Alibaba properties. That’s now reaching 600 million Chinese who use Alibaba on a daily basis. We think the strategy that we’re on is the right one. It’s it’s allowing us to continue to grow transactions in the double digits and we’re going to continue to play the long game with the strategy that made Starbucks what it is today in China.
