EU Lights Out

Hey Strangers, #games #kickstarter #indie MADRID/LISBON, April 28 (Reuters) - Power started returning to parts of the Iberian peninsula late on Monday after a huge outage brought most of Spain and Portugal to a standstill, grounding planes, halting public transport, and forcing hospitals to suspend routine operations.Spain's Interior Ministry declared a national emergency, deploying 30,000 police across the country to keep order as governments from the two countries convened emergency cabinet meetings. Outages on such a scale are extremely rare in Europe.=======================================I had to make a playlist for this lolhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl**************************************************My other podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw**************************************************article links:https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/large-parts-spain-portugal-hit-by-power-outage-2025-04-28/======================================Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discordhttps://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxqTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoderYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangersTwitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangersTwitterhttps://twitter.com/strangestcoderBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/strangestcoder.bsky.socialmerchSupport CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Tariffs Are Hurting Indie Games

Hey Strangers, #games #kickstarter #indie Kickstarter is launching a new “Tariff Manager” tool that will allow creators to apply a surcharge to projects after their campaign has ended, as spotted earlier by 404 Media. The tool is supposed to help creators deal with “rising costs” and import fees as a result of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.If a creator’s project is affected by tariffs, they can submit a request through Kickstarter and then apply per-item surcharges to backers with US shipping addresses. Kickstarter will include the extra fee in a separate line on a backer’s payment page. The platform says the tool is “weeks away” from rolling out.=======================================I had to make a playlist for this lolhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl**************************************************My other podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw**************************************************article links:https://www.ign.com/articles/assassins-creed-shadows-hits-2-million-players-2-days-after-release-ubisoft-says-its-now-surpassed-origins-and-odyssey-launcheshttps://www.metacritic.com/game/assassins-creed-shadows/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3159330/Assassins_Creed_Shadows/======================================Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discordhttps://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxqTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoderYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangersTwitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangersTwitterhttps://twitter.com/strangestcoderBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/strangestcoder.bsky.socialmerchSupport CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Is a Sales Juggernaut

Hey Strangers, #ubisoft #assassinscreed #review The incredibly successful launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows has continued well past its release date, with Ubisoft's latest remaining on top of the U.S. sales chart for the third straight week. For 2025, Shadows now only trails the year's biggest hit, Monster Hunter Wilds, which has been crushing sales records for Capcom since its release.According to Mat Piscatella (via Bluesky), an industry analyst at Circana, Assassin's Creed Shadows has ranked number one in dollar sales for each of the three weeks it has been available, through April 5, where available data ends. This notable run places Shadows as 2025's second highest-selling game behind Monster Hunter Wilds, which released nearly a month prior.=======================================I had to Make a playlist for this lolhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl**************************************************My other podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw**************************************************article links:https://www.ign.com/articles/assassins-creed-shadows-hits-2-million-players-2-days-after-release-ubisoft-says-its-now-surpassed-origins-and-odyssey-launcheshttps://www.metacritic.com/game/assassins-creed-shadows/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3159330/Assassins_Creed_Shadows/======================================Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discordhttps://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxqTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoderYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangersTwitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangersTwitterhttps://twitter.com/strangestcoderBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/strangestcoder.bsky.socialmerchSupport CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.
