For some reason OP deleted this post, and their account, but it was a really interesting question and I love discussing old books, so if anyone is interested I've posted the same question, with my original answer.

The oldest book (primary source I suppose) my family joint-own is an 1890 annual (so printed 1889) called The Prize. It's from England (as that's where I live), printed in London. It has a large variety of stories and songs in it. I've read it multiple times. It's falling apart a bit, and some of the pages have been coloured in by long-dead family members (which is really cool and kinda bitter-sweet). If used as a primary source, can provide a great window into late 19th century ideas around childhood, class, and even race, and how all these interacted with one another.

The oldest history book I currently have is from '55, being a collection of documents relating to English Privateering Voyages 1588-95, edited by K.R Andrews, largley still considered the authority on the subject. This is from the Hakluyt society, I have two more of their books, being Roanoke Voyages Vol 1 and the English New England Voyages.

A book that is currently in the post is Realities of Naval Warfare by Tunstall, printed in 1936. Seemed interesting and I'm familiar with his work on naval warfare so I thought I should get it, especially with all the AI companies buying up old books to scan and destroy them.

I'll see if I can find some good photos of them!

My main areas of study are history and archaeology. I've read and studied some Anthropology, and have studied (and will soon get some books on) sociology. So I thought it was time to dip into philosophy. I've found the concept of Sonder and Unselfing (both introduced, or at least talked about in length by Murdoch, I believe?) and they seem particularly relevant to my interests. So, what are the main ideas around Sonder and Unselfing, and what books, articles, etc, can I find more information from. Please do cite some sources completely, as I do want to look further into this. I have read very little on the topic so far, and own no books on it.

(As I'm not as familiar with these concepts as you are, I do hope this doesn't break rule 4).

Sorry for the rant, I've just seen the fandom get worse and worse I need somewhere to express this.

The discourse around the new game is just vile, and is full of incels. Now I'm absolutely no fan of corporations and companies, and Halo Studios is no exception but maybe, just maybe the actual individual devs might actually listen to the fandom if so many didn't just come out with genuinely vile and nonsensical complaints about non-issues, filled with all sorts of hateful and stupid dog-whistles. Honestly, they are all just proving they have never had a woman in their life that loves them if they complain constantly about women, black people, make loads of homophobic and transphobic comments. They are so desperate to be persecuted that they make mountains out of molehills (often without having played the game or knowing the lore, and allowing others to think for them), feel like any form of acceptance of an actually persecuted minority is a personal attack, complain when a black woman sits in a certain seat on the bridge, and turn some genuine character critique about and ODST into a mysoginistic rant. It's so childish and is a reason why the series is just declining, and the reason why the fandom is basically despised in other circles. I think this is also just really illustrative of gaming as a whole. Lots of bigoted, racist, sexist, angry straight cis white men who have never dated anyone taking out their anger on other people and hastening the death of games and fandoms.

Sometimes I wish the fandom died at Reech, we don't need anymore childish angry men in the world.

Oh, and whenever they make some random claims about persecuteed minorities etc, you can really tell they've never read any science, history, etc, (or at least none that disagrees with them) because they are just objectively wrong, and probably let other randoms on social media think for them, if they don't actually use ai.

(I don't think I've broken any rules mods, please let me know and I'll change it).

I'm particularly interested the post-medieval period (uncommon, I know), particularly the Early Modern period to use the historiographical term (am equally interested in the historiographical study of the period). Probably because it's not as common an area of interest, I often struggle to find good archaeological books on the subject (this isn't so much of an issue for Journal articles). So, would anyone here have any, or know of any good books for the topic? I'm based in the UK, so Europe-wide and the associated seas should be good.

(I'm more interested in Atlantic maritime conflict and privateering etc as an area, but that won't be as helpful for archaeology in the UK, and I already have many books on that).

I know that this isn't fully history related, but I've asked on the sociology subs but no one has answered because they are apparently quite dead subs now.

Are there any key works of sociology that are recommended for historians to read? Is there a textbook that covers all the theories?

I did study a bit of sociology a while ago, so I know that I'm interested in more stuff like labelling theory and crime and deviance. Fyi I'm interested in the Atlantic c.1500-1800, an emphasis on conflict and violence, with a specialisation in piracy and privateering.

Ideally a book that discusses the siege itself, as well as its importance in the wider world, namely trade and its impact on global history, as well as military technology. Preferably with footnotes, but that's not necessary.

I'm already reasonably versed in Early Modern history, as this period is my favourite to study, especially the maritime aspects. But there a few areas I am lacking sufficient material in, so here is a short list of topics that I would greatly appreciate book recommendations on.

The Kingdom of (the?) Kongo.

Peasant/lower class clothing in Europe.

Eastern European warfare.

Ottoman Religious diversity.

The Ottoman Political structure.

Music across the classes.

Popular culture in Europe

Good biographies of Louis XIV.

LGBTQ+ people in the Atlantic region

The Spanish conquest of the Americas from the indigenous perspective.

Spies and espionage.

Thank you very much for reading!

The re-maps provided in the following videos didn't work, but both were significantly closer to the original game.

Does anyone know how to re-maps it and make it more usable?

Ngl, Ubisoft is such an incompetent company if they can't launch a game without some god-awful half-working launcher or actually usable controls.

Edit: This has now been resolved.

I thought I should post this here as the error occurred while trying to make an account for resynched. I've never played the RPGs, and the most recent AC game I played before this was syndicate, so I had to make an account to play. I would get through to the sending a confirmation code but it would keep saying it was experiencing an error. Has anyone else experienced this, and how do I rectify it?

Edit: This was on Xbox

Edit 2: I have since put in my details to try and make an account on Ubisofts website and do it that way, but it seems that I didn't properly abide for Ubisofts rules for usernames somehow and it's locked me out for an unstated amount of time.

If it still isn't resolved in a few days time I will probably ask for a refund of the game, because there's no point me having spent over £50 on a game I can't use. I'll be going away in a couple of days for 4 weeks, so this needs to be rectified ASAP.

I can access the menu to mute people fine, but I can't actually mute anyone individually, as the functions/options next to the player names don't seem to be selectable.

I'm doing a bit of research and I need the quote by Samuel Johnson on sailors, and ships being like prisons with better food and company. I can find multiple different versions of the quote online, but never the full thing. And certainly nothing citable (although that's not really necessary because this is more for myself than anything academic). Does anyone have the full quote saved anywhere?

I know it isn't fully in keeping with the theme but I thought I'd get the best response here.

I'm on console and I'm set to performance, but the FPS is quite low for some reason. This has only happened since the update. But, strangely, the FPS is normal when I'm in a menu, like the scoreboard, or when I've died etc. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Mainly because I'm studying both archaeology and history at uni (so is suppose I would be a Casual Archaeologist falir?) and after I graduate here will do my next degree in Maritime Archaeology (so for now I could also use a Maritime Archaeology Enthusiast flair).

Also, is it ok to talk about late 16th and early 17th century sea rovers here?

Apologies if I've broken any rules, having read them I don't think I have? Thanks for reading!

Edit: I've just noticed it and added it, thank you! Apologies if it was already there, I'm quite dyslexic so I must have missed it.

I'm interested in social history, particularly sailors, and now I'm getting in sailor sexuality and gender. I've read a few essays, articles, and book reviews on books like Noel Malcoms most recent work, or chapters from G.R Burgs book in my university's library, and most seem to either be wildly overstating and arguably whitewashing (unintentionally) the persecution of queer people, or completely understating the amount of queerness in society. I'm particularly looking for European and the Atlantic colonial societies, because I want to make it applicable to the sailors as most scholarship on that I've read seems to be either Burgs accidental whitewashing or tentatively describing it as being 'similar to wider society' without explaining wider society, (which is what I want to look at). I know there is a collection of primary sources out there which will hopefully help a lot called Sexual and Gender Difference in the British Navy' but I need to ask my Uni to get it.

I'm already somewhat familiar with Burgs book and have read his essay in 'Bandits at Sea', and have read about Malcolm's book. Can't remember all the essays, but I read one on gender and sexuality on the Edinburgh Companion to Atlantic Literary Studies (I may have the title wrong). So preferably work that builds off of them would be great!

I hope this isn't too academic for this sub!

Thanks!
