Coin flip between it just being yet another case of musk lashing out because his ego hurts and him trying to distance himself from the trump admin when the closeness has caused catastrophic damage to his companies brands (too little too late, but still)
The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.
The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.
Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.
Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.
As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.
So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”
I got one via YouTube, I think I was so shocked to see that wars have pr campagins and advertising spend now that I forgot the actual details.
Theme gist was that Iran developing nuclear weapons was a threat to world stability and isreal was stepping up to do what had to be done etc. etc.
No mention of Islam but given it’s a PR campaign I would be surprised if they connected race or religion to their motivation for bombing.
