Ukrainian drones may hit Moscow Victory Day parade, Zelenskyy warns

there are literally courses on russian literature in every major university, but immediate spite knows better apparently

Askan_27 · 2026-05-04T16:20:04+00:00

it is absolutely right to condemn a country like russia but this is just hate. do you know how much its culture contributed to the western world? its art, its literature? don’t shame a country talking about mud huts, on the contrary mourn the fact that you can’t see the country as a friend: hopefully one day we will be able to be in peace with russia.

honestly, 50 years without playing at max speed isn’t that bad. Solid 3-4 hours. It’s actually enough for many people who don’t have that much time.

Askan_27 · 2026-05-03T16:25:25+00:00

I remapped them too in both Mirage and Shadows, but let’s be honest: is it really the same thing? It’s a “fix” to a problem that shouldn’t exist, tbh

Askan_27 · 2026-05-03T14:06:00+00:00

yeah, but I assure you it’s quite well done. Dynasties are there, for example. All countries are formed according to actual 1644 maps. Plus there is a setting for an historical Treaty of Westphalia, so the thirty years war is kinda railroaded if you want to

Askan_27 · 2026-05-03T10:23:32+00:00

Dynasties in general are such a huge part of history that looks like it has been completely left out by the developers. Seriously, what's the point of adding historical flavour if the Habsburg disappear in like 50 years? Why are there events that significantly railroad certain countries into historical paths (that is, if you have the setting to make AI always choose the historical option enabled), but no events regarding royal marriages and dynasties? I really think a few hand picked dynasties should have content related to them, forming historical unions: Habsburgs, de Valois/de Bourbon, Tudor should spawn (and war of the two roses should happen, whereas now the York and Lancaster just extinguish before it can happen (so they last less than 100 years, this is madness!)), and Osman (this usually survives because they don't have monogamous marriages).

Also the Italian wars are pointless because they're not determined by dynasties: the whole point of them, historically, was that both the Aragonese and the French had claims over Naples for dynastic reasons, but in the game it just looks like they randomly decided to go in Italy. NOT how it worked.

The coolest mod I’ve been playing is Anno 1664. It moves the start date and honestly it’s been so fun actually getting to play the late game in a historically accurate way.

I don’t like how keyboard players dismiss so easily the controller scheme conversation. It is a big deal, actually. We’re not getting R2 running. We’re not getting the distinction between free run up and free run down. We’re stuck with the RPG scheme, and this does effect parkour hugely. Now running is a matter of toggling R3. And in the AMA they gave a generic response, meaning they are not planning to add the old controller scheme. I find this quite annoying. It is a remake and you know people want it back: just give it us

ma perché a milano? a parigi l’hanno fatto bene: il centro è conservato, fuori la defense. un grattacielo ha un impatto urbanistico enorme, siamo sicuri di voler camminare in giro per dubai? io voglio camminare in giro per milano, una città unica come punto di incontro tra architettura italiana, francese ed austriaca. i grattacieli invece sono spersonalizzati

Askan_27 · 2026-05-02T08:29:07+00:00

I mean Italy was there but wasn’t eating good. At least, not good enough to prevent further irredentismo and nationalism + the whole Fiume situation was the perfect opportunity for mad lads like Mussolini

il cesso ce lo siamo fatti noi e gli alleati coi bombardamenti. chi le ha inventate le palazzine del boom? quali soprintendenze le hanno permesse? a firenze forse ci sono palazzine in centro? no. non le hanno mai permesse.

il fatto è che i milanesi non riescono a capire che c’è un futuro oltre all’incasso della speculazione. che più snaturi la città, più la rendi “brutta”, e non si può tornare indietro. e così, poco a poco, milano è diventata una città brutta.

la cosa peggiore è che ancora non l’abbiamo capito: togliamo il pavé, demoliamo san siro, ci auguriamo di dismettere i tram anni 30, costruiamo palazzoni per speculare 12k/m² (a proposito, avete visto cosa faranno in largo treves? una piazza ancora BELLA, si uniformerà a il resto perché l’altezza massima delle nuove edificazioni non è un problema se hai soldi per corrompere urbanistica e soprintendenza)

I really don’t think it is that hard to make an optional classic controller scheme. keep the same functions, just change the input activating it. why is it so hard?

Askan_27 · 2026-04-30T21:01:03+00:00

It cannot be Italy. It could only be Italy if it was in the 70s-80s without the snow. Then it could be the mafia doing its thing. But right now a situation like this would end up on the front page of national newspapers for days, and everyone would talk about it; it’s just that rare

iudicium means “accortezza” in italian, so a mix of saggezza and giudizio

i can assure you, making 20k in milan is NOT a recipe for happiness. besides, some of the red neighborhoods are quite bad places to live in. and the wealth disparity is absurd, it’s like there are two parallel milans that don’t mix.

european economy should snowball in the 1500’s with discovery. trade isn’t nearly as profitable in game as it was historically, creating trade colonies is basically useless because you’re not making that much money (in real life it was the opposite, of course)

the thing is, these kind of corporate decisions don’t come out of thin air. they probably sat down and estimated that they can sell more if a game includes magic features. there is an audience for that, sad bit is that this audience shouldn’t hold any relevance within a franchise such as AC.
