Warthunder is hardly funding Russia's war effort because of their publisher making one ad deal with a youtuber?
I'd argue that this is a perfect example of something that should be brought up. Boycotting a product like Warthunder is relatively easy for consumers, and the bad publicity is a very strong incentive for the company to stop funding Russia (which they are, in however minor way, due to funding a Russian person living in Russia).
any evidence Atomic Heart sales were contributing to the war effort
It is developed by a company founded by Russians, and it is (jointly) published by a Russian company. It likely is a safe guess that some portion of any purchases are going to Russian nationals/companies living/operating in Russia.
This list of only four games seems very disingenuous.
On this we agree. For example, I haven't seen anyone talking about Space Marine 2, even though it's developed by a Russian company, and should definitely be on a no-buy list.
this list is just being racist
Raising awareness of which video game purchases (directly or indirectly) support the Russian economy and Putin's war is definitely not racist.

The official trailer explains the game pretty well, but tl;dr: you play as the drummer of a Viking longship, beating the drums to the tune of metal songs.

CPUs implemented inside sandbox video games are not that uncommon, but the author's young age, and the amount of technical hoops they had to jump through, as well as the pretty good presentation of the results made this video worth sharing.

Comment on Scifi / action (audiobooks)... who would I like next? in ~books

The best suggestions (Bobiverse, Expanse) were already covered by others, but I have a couple more to add:
I've yet to read his other books, but I very much enjoyed Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds.
The Fear Saga by Stephen Moss tickled the part of my brain that enjoys stories of contemporary humans dealing with very advanced things. I recommend skipping even the synopsis on this one and to just start listening.
The Forerunner Saga by Greg Bear is solid scifi, even if you are not familiar with the Halo game series, and especially if you are.
Anything larger than zero contributes to the senseless killing that (I assume, considering the rethoric) your country is doing.
It’s phobia if it’s baseless. Russia is literally invading a neighbouring country. Not wanting to contribute to the atrocities is just being a decent human being.
It’s not as much ”suggesting” as stating a fact. Any money going to Russia supports their invasion either directly (through taxes) or indirectly (through stimulating the strugling economy).
I have nothing against the ”everyday people”, besides for the fact that majority of them at least publicly support the war. But it’s their country who invaded and can stop the war literally today if they wanted.
As opposed to the alienating Russia has been doing perfectly fine by itself in Ukraine for the past over ten years? And other coutries before that?
Edit: Locking this thread was probably a good thing.
